Congratulations to the City of Nacogdoches, Texas for being selected as the Texas Arbor Day 2016 host city.

Arbor Day is celebrated the first Friday in November each year in a different Texas City. This year, the City of Nacogdoches celebrates being the Oldest Town in Texas with its 300th birthday and will host fellow Texans in a statewide celebration of trees.

The community has roots in traditional forestry as the home of the Stephen F. Austin State University Lumberjacks and the Arthur Temple College of Forestry. But Nacogdoches, a Tree City USA, also values urban and community forestry having recently been named the Garden Capital of Texas by the state legislature.

“We would be proud to host the rest of the state and join in celebrating our forestry heritage and growth in urban forestry,” Nacogdoches City Planner Larissa Philpot said.

To commemorate this historical milestone, the Garden Capital of Texas Committee members plan to plant 300 trees in the community, with the ceremonial 300th tree being planted on Arbor Day at Millard’s Crossing Historic Village.

According Philpot, the city also plans to celebrate Nacogdoches’ historic and champion trees by highlighting their histories with photographs and seedlings grown out from these trees.

The celebration while still in the planning phase, will also feature a ceremony, educational activities and giveaways. The events are free and open to the public.

Everyone is invited to participate either by attending the festivities Nov. 4, 2016 in Nacogdoches, by planting a tree in their own communities, or by just taking a minute to enjoy and celebrate trees and the vital resources they provide for us every day.

“Arbor Day, above all, presents a tremendous opportunity to teach fundamental lessons about the stewardship of our natural resources and caring for our environment,” Paul Johnson, Texas A&M Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program Coordinator said. “This is a great opportunity for families to come out and learn about trees and how they protect and affect us.”

Texas first observed Arbor Day in 1889, celebrating the benefits that trees provide over a lifetime. Today, the state Arbor Day celebration is a collaborative effort among Texas A&M Forest Service, the Texas Forestry Association, the Texas Chapter of the international Society of Arboriculture, the host city and numerous non-profit organizations.

Please mark your calendars and check https://www.facebook.com/CityofNacogdoches/ for evolving information about this historic event.

My Favorite Way to Workout

Group fitness is my favorite way to work out.

With all that being said, I thought I’d share my very favorite way to workout. It should come as no surprise, but group fitness rocks my world. I love it so much and not only because I teach it. Of course, I totally love teaching it, but I love being a participant, too. There is just nothing like it. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy solitary workouts. I either run or do HIIT training alone once or twice a week. Running by myself clears my mind and, as a dance fitness choreographer, I do my best choreographing in my head while I’m running. Go figure. Still and all, group exercise is special and my favorite.

I love walking in the door, seeing familiar faces, and being greeted immediately each class. I get a sense of what Norm on “Cheers” must have felt when he walked in the bar and was greeted with a loud “Norm!” each day. As you get to know the people around you, friendships form. Some of my best friendships have come from a group fitness class. I love how the people in class become a family and look out for each other. I know many people in my classes text each other or send Facebook messages when a fellow class member is absent. We care about each other and that’s not typically something that forms in the cardio room on treadmills.

I’m much less likely to skip a workout when I know my fellow class members will be there and wonder where I am. It definitely makes it easier to be consistent when I have that built in accountability.

I’m much less likely to skip a workout when I know my fellow class members will be there and wonder where I am.

In a group fitness class, you push yourself more than you might otherwise. When we exercise on our own, it’s easier to stop when we probably could go a little harder and a little longer. When your instructor is pushing and challenging you, it’s easier to continue on when you really want to quit.

I feel a sense of camaraderie in class that I don’t get elsewhere. We are in the fight together. We struggle, groan and hurt together. These are my fellow warriors. My people! We laugh together, like today when I went face first into my mat while trying to hold a difficult pose in yoga class. Thanks to my friend, Holly, for lightening the mood with “She’s going down!” as it happened. We bond over our soreness and encourage each other to keep going. It’s comforting to have my buddies with me, working hard, enduring the pain and getting through even the toughest workouts together. It’s a bonding experience and I always leave feeling accomplished, empowered and just a little better than before.

I also learn from group fitness. If you have a good instructor, he or she is constantly educating you on fitness and health and keeping you updated on the latest research and information. Also, class members share great information with each other. We swap everything from recipes and diet tips to what stores are having great sales on workout clothes. I’m constantly learning from people in my classes and it’s awesome.

Just writing this has me excited about my class tomorrow. I’m ready for a little bit of socializing and whole lot of hard work with my fellow workout warriors. If you’ve never tried a fitness class, I encourage you to give it a shot. It will change more than your backside. It could change your life.

Angelina College is announcing the creation of a student ambassador program. Anita Buckmaster of Lufkin, Jana Hudson of Alto, Reshonda Keys of Jasper, Diamond Moreland of Lufkin and Edgar Padilla of Diboll will all serve as student ambassadors for the 2016-2017 academic year.

To be eligible for the student ambassador program, applicants must be currently enrolled as a full-time student at Angelina College, and have a grade-point average of 2.75 or higher. They must be willing to commit to serving a full academic year and have excellent communication and leadership potential.

According to Sarah Gandy, AC counselor, “Student ambassadors serve as a point of contact to prospective students, families and the surrounding community. They conduct campus tours, participate in New Student Orientation, assist during career and college fairs, and volunteer at campus and community events as needed. They also provide general college information during peak registration times.”

Through program participation, student ambassadors build leadership skills to prepare them for university transfer and/or job placement, cultivate relationships with community organizations, gain awareness of needs impacting Angelina County and the surrounding areas.

Anita Buckmaster, a freshman general curriculum major participating in the program said, “I like the fact that it’s going to be hands-on. We will be utilized by different departments and will get to know everybody.”

Student ambassadors are available by request online through the Student Affairs portal at: http://angelinacollege.orgsync.com/home. To learn more about the student ambassador program at Angelina College, contact Sarah Gandy and Conssandra Williams at acsa@angelina.edu

Angelina College graphic arts students will exhibit their work beginning Nov. 1 in the Angelina Center for the Arts gallery. A reception will be held from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Libby Stapleton’s Editing and Layout classes will show booklet covers, résumés and business cards with logos that the students designed. This class is the beginning design class for visual communications for both graphic arts and journalism students. The students begin by learning about the history of design, typography and the principles of design before they start applying those concepts to their designs.

Jan Anderson-Paxson’s Photography I students will exhibit black and white photographs that were exercises in using the creative controls of the camera, controlling depth of field, understanding directional lighting, and photographic composition. Students learn basic darkroom skills such as processing film and printing photographs. “We will also do something new this semester and create a traditional silver gelatin photograph using the darkroom but from a image from a smartphone,” Anderson-Paxson said.

Anderson-Paxson’s Digital Publishing II class will also show work completed during the fall semester in the exhibit. Some of their projects consist of producing an original calendar, designing a flyer for the Fine Arts Preview Day and creating an advertising campaign for a company, service or product.

Signs To Be Replaced Around Lufkin Loop

Contractors will begin Tuesday to reset and replace large signs around SL 287 in Angelina County.

South Ranger Construction, Galena Park, will serve as contractor for the $183,683 maintenance contract that is scheduled to complete in about three months, weather permitting. As work progresses, motorists will experience lane closures at sign replacement locations.

A total of 33 signs and sign bridges will be replaced including signs indicating direction of travel and exits at Business 69 (Kurth Drive), US 69 (Tyler), SH 94 (Frank Street), SH 94 (Hudson, Groveton); US 69 (Huntington, Woodville), FM 58 (Chestnut Street), Abe Martin Stadium (Lufkin High School), Angelina County Airport, South First Street, US 59 (Nacogdoches) and US 59 (Houston).

“The updated signs will more efficiently indicate exits and direction of travel as local residents and out-of-town visitors travel through and around Lufkin by way of State Loop 287,” said Rhonda Oaks, public information officer for the Lufkin District. “We are urging motorists to be aware of the delays caused from single lane traffic. Prepare to slow down and allow for extra time around the loop as this work progresses.”

Motorists should prepare for delays as they approach work zones located around SL 287 and be aware that equipment and workers are working near the lane of traffic. Respect all barricades and signage. Remember traffic fines double when workers are present.

All work schedules are subject to change in inclement weather. For a complete list of statewide closures, visit drivetexas.org.

For more information, contact Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov or (936) 633-4395.

Traffic To Be Moved on U.S. 59 in Nacogdoches

Motorists should prepare for a traffic switch in a major construction project beginning next week on US 59 near Spradley Street in Nacogdoches.

Contractors will be moving US 59 southbound traffic to the newly constructed concrete pavement near the Spradley Street area. Cross traffic at Spradley will remain closed and Webber Construction, contractor for the $14 million project, will be working to construct the intersection at Spradley.

For those motorists traveling west on Spradley Street, they will be required to turn right (northbound) on US 59. Motorists traveling east on Spradley will be required to turn right (southbound) on US 59. Motorists traveling on US 59 will only be able to turn right onto Spradley from either direction. Once intersection improvements are completed, the cross traffic movement will be restored at Spradley Street.

Motorists should also be alert to excavation work in the area throughout the week that will require temporary lane closures leading to the SL 224 Eastbound entry ramp on US 59 North.

This project, a part of the US 59 Corridor Master Plan, is currently in Phase I and will enhance safety and mobility. It is expected to be completed in Spring, 2017, weather permitting. Project improvements include raised medians north of Spradley Street to SL 224; U-turns at Spradley Street and near SL 224; sidewalk construction on both sides of US 59; and reconfiguring the US 59/SL 224 intersection that will allow enhanced turning movements at a signalized intersection.

Motorists are advised to reduce speed and stay alert through all construction areas, being careful to watch for workers and moving equipment. Traffic fines double when workers are present.

Personal Encounters of the Ghost Kind

Have you ever experienced inexplicable happenings? Have the lights flickered unnaturally? Have items in your house magically moved?

Every day, we see things that may not be easily explained. Some call them miracles. Some call them ghosts interacting with the natural world.halloween-1

Halloween is a perfect time to investigate personal claims of supernatural activities very, very close to home.

Sam S. 

I had this boyfriend online, and he would always tell me these scary stories. One night I was in my house, and I became suddenly terrified. There was no obvious cause for my fear, but I was scared of my own room for two weeks. I slept on the couch.

Then one day I had this thought that there was something in his house, and it came here on his stuff that he gave me. I went to my closet and exercise his jacket, and I was fine.

I had this crazy dream once. My girlfriend is in the driver’s seat, and we’re going to a cemetery. There’s this guy there, behind us. He’s not moving at all, but he’s looking at this small child levitating above the ground. His body is contorted. When he looks over at me he lets out this awful scream of multiple voices.

I woke up to my shirt choking me. Literally half my face was numb because it cut off my circulation.

I was taking a shower one day when I heard a voice in the room next to me say my name, and I thought it was my mother-in-law. When I finished my shower I searched the room, only to realize no one was there. silhouette-1705707_640

Another time I was doing laundry when a black shadow swiftly passed in front of the lights behind me. I watched it from the mirror, but when I turned around, nothing was there.

I had a dream once where I was with my friends. Then a group of guys with guns came in and got us all together. One of the guys dropped something and told me to pick it up. While I was doing that, the good guys came in and accidentally shot me with the bad guys. I kept saying, “I’ll be fine,” until I looked down to see four bullet holes in my chest.

I have a story about a friend of mine who always sleepwalks around her house, and when she sleepwalks, she is always screaming. It is very creepy. When she was a kid, she had an imaginary friend who was a little girl, and I just recently found a bunch of baby girl stuff inside some walls in her house.

Brandon C.technology-1006243_1280

I have one. So, a little backstory: my mom had this little music box that used to belong to my Aunt Rose before she passed away. It sang that one song from the “Sound of Music” about the favorite things. Well, one night my mom and my sister stayed up late while everyone else was asleep. They were talking in the kitchen but decided to move to the living room. As soon as they both walked through the door the box started playing. They freaked out and quickly fled the room, and the box stopped playing. They went back into the living room to check, and the box started playing again.

Oh, and I remembered another one. I once spent a weekend at my brother’s house back when he was still married to his first wife. They lived in a trailer, and on the first night I’m lying in bed trying to fall asleep when out of no where I hear this heavy banging, as though someone was outside of the trailer, punching its side. It goes on like this for a solid 30 seconds. My brother and his wife’s niece, who was living with him at the time, come out just as freaked as I am. Right then my brother’s step daughter comes out of her room and asks sleepily who the man in her room is. I said, “Nope, forget this,” and went back to my room to try and sleep.

Keeping Kids Safe This Halloween

booTrick-or-treating is all fun and games – but don’t forget to take a few key safety precautions to keep kids safe.
Parents should map out a well-lit trick-or-treating route in advance of Halloween and accompany kids on the journey. All the streets you visit should have a sidewalk or safe walking area. If you will be trick-or-treating after sundown, stick to costumes that are brightly colored or reflective.
Travel in groups with other friends and family, and remember to skip houses with the porch light off – that’s a signal that these homes are not welcoming trick-or-treaters.
When you get back home, parents should inspect candy right away before letting kids dig into their stash.
While Halloween is one of the most joyous holidays for children, it’s important to follow a few basic safety guidelines.

Mustard, Collard, and Turnip Greens

By

John Thannisch has so many greens growing in his garden that, if the rows were laid end to end, they would total about 200 yards long. He planted Mustard greens, Collard greens, and Turnip greens for an early fall crop back as early as August 15.

The cool-season vegetables that we enjoy originated in temperate climates and have their favorable growth period during the cool parts of the year. Cool-season crops grow poorly (if at all) in our summer heat. Though cool-season crops continue to grow well past the earliest freeze in the fall, they should be started early enough to mature before hard freezes are expected.

kale
Kale is a great cool season crop.

Greens, such as arugula, spinach, collards, lettuce, Swiss chard, mustard, and kale are great cool season crops. Collards a staple of home-grown Southern cuisine. They are more nutritious than the often bragged about broccoli and spinach.

Thannisch says his crops are about knee high and doing well despite dry conditions. I asked him if he had irrigated and he said he hadn’t recently. Just the other day he pulled up a plant and found moist soil near the bottom of a tap root. His soils have just enough clay content deep enough to seem to hold water on his garden.

Thannisch gardens on about two acres at his place south of Lufkin. His garden is on a newer site that was reclaimed from an overgrown brush and woodland area.

Looking ahead on my weather forecast, I don’t see anything lower than 50 degrees in the next 15 days. Rainfall is looking bleak as well. But for frost protection (though there’s no indication in the forecast) can be achieved with several options, one of which is a row cover. Made of an extremely light-weight woven or sun-bonded synthetic material, it allows light and water to penetrate, row covers are available in rolls five to six feet wide and in various lengths up to 100 yards long. The material is reusable for several years if handled carefully to prevent tears.

Row covers can be used to trap the sun’s heat and warming the soil an extra 1 to 3 degrees. Crops, such as radishes, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, Chinese cabbage, beets, carrots, turnips, and parsnips, can be seeded directly into the garden and covered at planting time, leaving enough slack in the row cover to allow for growth.

The material is so light it literally floats on top of the plants as they grow. Secure the edges with soil; hold them down with two-by- four lumber or anchor them with U-shaped pins (made from coat hangers). Securing the edges prevents the entry of troublesome flying pests, such as cabbage worms, cabbage loopers and leaf miners, as well as birds and squirrels.

Thannisch biggest concern right now is aphids. These piercing/sucking insects are abounding in ornamental landscapes as well as vegetable gardens. Aphids can be controlled with numerous products so long as you treat under the leaves as well as over the top of plants.

As for myself, I just planted a patch of kale, lettuce, cabbage, and other fall vegetables yesterday. A little late maybe, but with frost protection planned, I’m betting on fresh produce from my garden in December.

 

Adopt an Animal & Save a Life

A photo of Lucy at six-weeks-old.

Editor’s Note: My husband, Ryan, and I entered the kitten room at Kurth Animal Shelter, and there she was  – a six-week-old kitten with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. She was climbing all over the cage door with a constant meowing, as if she was saying, “Pick me, pick me.” My husband opened the door, picked her up, and within seconds she was a ball of purring fluff in his hands – a precious tabby later named Lucy. After a few neck scratches and more purring, we knew she was ours. We signed the adoption papers and brought her home that day. Two and a half years later and Lucy is still a constant by our side, as long as she’s not sleeping in her chair. Our lives were forever changed the day we brought that baby tabby to our home. I never knew the love you could have for a four legged animal until I met Lucy. 

Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter volunteer Leslie Anders waves a feather wand in front of a feisty orange tabby kitten to snap his photograph to post later on the animal shelter’s Facebook page on a Saturday afternoon.

Two other kittens make their way over to Anders as she gets ready to take their photographs next. Laughing, she calls them “rumble, tumble kittens.” One brown tabby makes his way up the table cloth to sit by his friend, while the other, shyer one plays under equipment.

The shelter employees have created a photography room for Anders to snap the photos of available animals at the shelter with hopes to find forever homes for the homeless pets.

cat-2
Volunteer Leslie Anders photographs two tabby kittens at Kurth Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in Lufkin.

“To me, kittens are really easy to photograph. I bring them in the photography room. Sometimes they’ve been in their kennel all day without someone touching them. Sometimes they’ve been in the kennel for weeks, so they have really high energy when they come in here. I just let them run it out,” Anders said as she described a typical photography session. “One by one I set them on the table and see how they react to me. …I have a feather toy on a wand, I wave it in front of their face, I take it away, and snap – it looks like they’re looking at the camera but they’re really looking at the toy. So, it’s a little photography psych.”

Anders started volunteering at the shelter four years ago after losing her blue heeler, Jenny, who was adopted from Nacogdoches Animal Shelter. When she first entered the doors at Kurth and walked down the aisles, Anders said she saw the faces of the animals and wanted to let them out to play.

“I just wanted to hug them all,” she said.

Anders knew she couldn’t take them all home, so she asked herself, “What’s the next best thing?” She then filled out a volunteer application and started coming to the shelter on her days off of work. She noticed the cats weren’t getting adopted as high as the dogs, so she set out to become the cat photographer. Years later, she is still photographing the cats with hopes to get each adopted and find their forever home.

“I really think at any time someone can find a cat they’re looking for here. The cuteness is here, the playful, the snuggly, and you get to save a life by adopting one,” Anders said. “You see them behind a kennel and they look like a shelter cat. You can get them out, take their picture, and show they’re actually normal animals. You can put them in your home, and they can be yours and part of the family.”

Follow the animal shelter on Facebook at Friends of Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter for updates on available animals and adoptions.

Calling every adoption rewarding, Anders recalled one stand-out adoption was when a mother, with young children, came in to look for an animal, she walked away with six adopted cats to add to her crew.

“To see an animal get adopted when someone saw their picture on Facebook, like it makes my entire Saturday at the shelter on my day off totally worth it,” she said. “That’s why I keep coming back; I love to see them be adopted.”

For those who aren’t able to add a pet to their family, Anders said there are other ways to help out at the shelter.

“There‘s something for everyone at the shelter,” she said. “You can donate to the medical fund for animals that have injuries or medical needs. You can donate items – anything from bleach to dog food to newspapers for the kennels. There is volunteering opportunities, fostering opportunities, and of course, you can come up to the shelters and play with the animals. You’re helping them and helping yourself.”

“But if someone is interested in adding another pet to their family, consider a shelter animal. They can be incredible animals,” Anders continued. “If you’re looking for old, young, or something in between – they have it. They need homes. I think rescued animals know they’re rescued and they will spend a lifetime really thanking you for it.”

Available dogs and cats can be viewed at petfinder.com by searching with zip code 75901 under Kurth Memorial Animal Services and Adoption Center. Photos and descriptions for each pet are available.  Also, follow the shelter on Facebook at Friends of Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter for updates on available animals and adoptions. To volunteer, visit the shelter and fill out an application. The shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and is located at 1901 Hill Street in Lufkin.
