Club member introductions were presented by club mangers. Clarissa Menefee offered a special appreciation to local businesses, organizations and volunteers who contribute to the success of the Shelby County 4-H program.

Join over 591,000 young people in Texas in celebrating the many years of accomplishment and service the 4-H organization has provided during National 4-H Week slated for October 4-10, 2015.
Did you know that 4-H is the nation’s largest youth organization? Worldwide, there are over 6 million youth who participate. 4-H is in all 254 Texas counties, in all 50 states and in more than 80 countries. Over 591,000 of Texas young people are involved in 4-H. All you have to do is look at your local level to find young people taking the lead in addressing today’s challenges. In Texas, 4-H is a part of The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, a part of the Texas A&M University System. 4-H takes research-based information from the nation’s land-grant universities to youth in urban, small-town and rural communities. In Texas, 4-H is headquartered on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station.
Using the four-leaf clover for its emblem, each leaf carries an H. The four H's on the four-leaf clover stand for head, heart, hands and health. 4-H follows the philosophy of learning by doing. Youth develop life skills through hands-on projects that range from citizenship to expressive arts, communication to foods and nutrition, and leadership to science and technology. 4-H is for youth in grades 4 through 12. Youth can belong to 4-H individually or as members of clubs and groups. They can make new friends, visit new places, go on trips, attend workshops and conferences, host meetings and help their communities. 4-H is where young people explore, learn and discover in a safe environment. In 4-H, youth find their true passions, gain confidence and give back to their community. Celebrate 4-H as youth step up and take responsibility for their future and ours.
A National Positive Youth Development study shows that 4-Hers are nearly 5 times more likely to graduate from college, 4 times more likely to actively contribute to their community. 4-H members are also 3 times more likely to be physically active than non-4-H members and 2 times more likely to pursue a career in science, engineering or computers.
The 4-H program in Texas also is led by 29,996 volunteer 4-H leaders that serve and devote their time and talents to the youth of Texas!
Thanks for all you do to support and promote 4-H! For more information on the Texas 4-H program and how you can become involved at the local level, call the Shelby County Extension office at 936-598-7744.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (512) 676-6595
East Texas Companies Recognized for Exemplary Safety Programs
TYLER — Commissioner of Workers’ Compensation Ryan Brannan visited East Texas today to honor two local employers for exemplary workplace safety programs and low rates of injuries and illnesses at the companies’ facilities.
“The injury rate at Texas workplaces has fallen 25 percent since 2005 thanks in large part to the outstanding efforts of employers like these,” Brannan said. “When businesses promote a culture of safety by providing excellent training and empowering workers to report any hazards, everybody wins. Fewer injuries means a more productive workplace and lower insurance premiums.”
The East Texas employers honored with the state’s Lone Star Safety Award, formerly the Peer Review Safety Award, include:
· Southern Plastics, a plastic manufacturing facility with about 200 employees in Kilgore.
· Rusk County Electric Cooperative, an electric power distribution cooperative with 70 employees in Henderson.
Both companies were also awarded a Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) designation by the state and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The SHARP award recognizes small, private sector Texas employers for exemplary safety and health programs.
The Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation provides a variety of services to help Texas employers provide safe and healthy workplaces, including health and safety materials and customized, onsite safety training. For more information on these services, and for eligibility criteria for the SHARP and Lone Star Safety awards, visit www.tdi.texas.gov/wc/safety/index.html.

TYLER, Texas - Law enforcement officers in East Texas have arrested multiple individuals charged in a Medicare fraud scheme in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
On Sep. 16, 2015, a federal grand jury returned an 18-count indictment charging 12 individuals associated with Three Angels Home Health Inc., in a scheme to defraud Medicare by recruiting East Texas Medicare recipients who were not eligible, or did not necessitate the need, for home health care services. Law enforcement officers began arresting the defendants today.
According to the indictment, an investigation revealed that between August 2013 and November 2014, the defendants were involved in a scheme to defraud Medicare of approximately $2.5 million for home health services allegedly provided to about 250 East Texas Medicare patients. These patients were from Tyler, Jacksonville, Marshall, Nacogdoches, Lufkin, and other areas. The indictment alleges the defendants worked as recruiters for Grace Munthali and her company, Three Angels. The defendants were paid approximately $500 for each Medicare beneficiary they signed up to receive home health care services from Three Angels. To encourage the patient's participation, the defendants offered and paid them from $100 to $200 each. Those charged in the indictment include:
Lizzy Sirls, 33, of Cuney, Texas;
Katrina Watts, 38, of Lufkin, Texas;
Pandra Wade, 55, of Lufkin, Texas;
Victoria Sterns, 40, of Lufkin, Texas;
Tammy Washington, 51, of Nacogdoches, Texas;
Nichelle Fofana, 51, of Nacogdoches, Texas;
Yulanda Nash, 44, of Nacogdoches, Texas;
Ronald Russell, 51, of San Augustine, Texas;
Sheneki McCollister, 39, of Center, Texas;
Meoshe Goodwin, 42, of Tenaha, Texas;
Latosha Gray, 26, of Jacksonville, Texas; and
Marcus Chukwu, Jr., 52, of Sugarland, Texas.
If convicted, the defendants face up to five years in federal prison for the conspiracy to commit health care fraud charge and up to five years for each of the payment of illegal remuneration charges.
Earlier this year, Munthali pleaded guilty to health care fraud charges and was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison on Sep. 22, 2015.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the Texas Attorney General's Medicare Fraud Control Unit with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This case is being investigated by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth McGurk and Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathaniel C. Kummerfeld.
It is important to note that an indictment should not be considered as evidence of guilt and that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

NEWS RELEASE: September 23, 2015

They married after World War II and their marriage lasted 68 years.
They eventually moved to Houston, Texas, where they spent the early part of their lives raising their son, Jack, Ray, Jr., and daughter, Mary.

Lurline and Jack moved back to Garrison, in 1971 and Jack opened his own welding business. She was still involved in the church and became known as Miss WMU (Woman’s Missionary Union) in Shelby-Doches Association, where she served many years. Mission work was a deep part of her life.

Barricades have been set for a bridge replacement scheduled to begin this week in Polk County.
The $3.2 million project is scheduled on FM 1988 at Long King Creek near the Livingston State Park. Longview Bridge and Road, contractor for the project, will work in a half-mile area to replace the bridge and approaches.
The project will be constructed in two phases. The new bridge and approaches will be built to the south side of the existing bridge. Traffic will be moved to the new bridge once work is completed. The old bridge will then be removed.
In addition to barricades, TxDOT crews have placed message boards alerting motorists to the road work. Motorists traveling in the area are advised to slow down and be prepared to stop. Be alert to all signage and workers in and near the project area.
For more information, contact Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov<mailto:Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov> or (936) 633-4395.

Dalton Pate – Obituary
Funeral services for Mr. Dalton Pate, 103, of Timpson, TX, will be held at 2:00 PM, Wednesday, September 16, 2015, in Taylor Funeral Home Chapel, Timpson, TX, with Bro. Justin Coburn officiating. Interment to follow in the Mt. Olive Cemetery in Timpson, TX (Silas) community. Visitation for family and friends will be at 1PM, Wednesday , September 16, 2015 at Taylor Funeral Home.
Mr. Pate was born September 18, 1911, in Arcadia Community. Dalton was the son of the late Willie Bruce and Myrtie Pate. Dalton was a simple man with no aspirations of fame or fortune. He lived his life by the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule. He loved his family and he loved his Lord. His Bible was almost exclusively his reading material.
He was born into farm life and never lost his love of planting and watching things grow. Anyone passing by his house in the spring would have seen him in his garden, well up into his late 90's, pushing his "idiot plow" or chopping that last sprig of grass. About the only thing that would get him out of the garden in the spring was an invite of "let's go fishing". Dalton loved to fish, it didn't matter if he caught a 5 lb bass or a hand size perch.
In the fall you might see his truck on the side of some back road. He would be in the woods with his 22 Rifle, or his 16 gauge in later years, and his dog, hunting squirrels. He would have some mutt that someone gave him, or a stray that turned up at his house, it didn't matter. Dalton would have it treeing squirrels in short order. Dalton didn't kill for the sake of killing, he loved squirrel dumplings. Biscuits, dumplings, and just about anything sweet and he was "good to go".
Dalton Pate is survived by two sisters, LaVerne Pate Hughes and Orine Pate Ingram; one son, Robert Glyndon Pate and wife, Helen of Timpson; three grandchildren, Debra Pate Smith and husband Paul of Timpson, Darryl Pate and wife, Debra of Crystal Beach, and Donna Pate of Timpson; 7great grandchildren, 13 great great grandchildren, and many relatives friends, and loved ones that will miss him greatly.
Dalton Pate is preceded in death by his parents, Willie Bruce and Myrtie Pate; his wife, LaVennie Darnell Pate; four brothers, Arvel, R.C. William, and Pershing Pate; and three sisters, LaMerle Monkres, Oleta Darnell, and Willie Day Green.
Pallbearers are Chad Pate, Jacob Duke, Cody Bailey, Michael Smith, Andy Terry, and Bobby Yarborough.
Honorary pallbears are Billy Magness, and George Duke.

Mayhaws
Since I was not from East Texas, I was deprived of being raised with mayhaw jelly. Though my mom made lots of jellies and jams for our family’s sweet tooth, I learned of mayhawswhile attending college at SFA.
Historically, mayhaws have grown mainly inriver bottoms and swampy areas.The mayhaw is a native fruit tree found along river bottoms and swamps from the Trinity River of Texas, east to Georgia and Florida. Today, the mayhaw is grown in family orchards forits fruit and as a beautiful addition to the homelandscape.
The mayhaw is the fruit of the thorny hawthorn tree. This small, round reddish fruit is about 1/2- to3/4-inch in diameter and resembles a crabapple. Itripens from mid-April to early May, hence the namemayhaw. The tree blooms in February and Marchwith a profusion of white blossoms. After frost in the fall, theleaves turn a beautiful yellow.
Although the tree is naturally found inwet, shady sites, it is well adapted to drier, better-drained land and produces more and better fruit infull sunlight. The trees are long-lived and can produce fruit for more than 50 years. They are moreresistant to disease and can withstand low temperatures better than common fruit trees.
When the mayhaws are ripe in April and early May, you can shake the tree and gather the fruit from a bed sheet or piece of plastic spread under the tree. Some folks are using large nets under the trees to catch the berries as they fall. The netting is used instead of plastic because it breathes and the berries are not damaged. Old-timers recall scooping up the mayhaws with a bucket as the fruit floated on the water in streams or bogs.
Commercial production of mayhaw jelly beganabout 1992. A number of small home businesses are makingand selling gourmet mayhaw jelly.
I’ve been told one gallon (4 quarts) or about 4 1/2 pounds of mayhaws will yield about 12 cups of strained, flavorful juice, enough for three batches of jelly. Other recipes for this fine fruit that I know of include syrups, punch, a pound cake, mayhaw-pecan pie filling, and a mayhaw flavored cheese ring.
If you want to add mayhaws to your garden or landscape, you‘ll find it at the Lufkin Master Gardener’s Fall Native Plant Sale. In its third year at the Farmers Market, it will be on Saturday, September 26. Hundreds of well adapted native plants will be available. Master Gardeners will host the sale and will be on hand to help you match the right plant to the right spot in your landscape. Sale begins at 8 am and is typically sold out before lunch.
To see a list of the varieties sold, go to go-lufkin.com/mastergardeners/.

Shelby County 4-H is Building Champions
Now is the time to join 4-H and get in on the fun! While many people think that 4-H is just about raising livestock, nothing could be further from the truth. We have numerous 4-H’ers involved in projects like clothing & textiles, livestock, photography, public speaking, shooting sports, etc. No matter what the project, the goal of 4-H is to develop life skills and leadership within young people so they become productive, contributing members of society.
Shelby County 4-H is busy gearing up for our new 4-H year, and there is still time for your child become a member. Clubs meet on a monthly basis in Center, Shelbyville, and Joaquin. Some of our planned projects for fall include taxidermy, livestock showing, virtual fishing tournament, photography, food, fashion, and public speaking. Spring projects planned are more livestock showing, taxidermy, fashion, robotics, and babysitting certification. Enrollment is just $20 through October 31, 2015. Beginning November 1, the fee increases to $25 per child.
Research has shown that participation in 4-H programs makes a positive difference in the lives of youth. Youth development scholar, Dr. Richard Lerner, works with researchers at the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University to conduct The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development. The longitudinal study has found that, when compared to other youth, young people involved in 4-H are:
· Nearly two times more likely to participate in science, engineering, or computer technology programs (STEM) learning programs during out-of-school time.
Overall, the study found that the advantages of 4-H participation include higher educational achievement and higher motivation for future education.
If you are interested in joining Shelby County 4-H or would like additional information on our programs, give us a call at the Shelby County Extension office at 598-7744 and speak to either Daphne Lovell, Office Administrator, Lane Dunn - Agriculture and Natural Resource County Agent or Jheri-Lynn McSwain - Family and Consumer Sciences County Agent.

Dorothy McGinty, 94, of Center, passed away Thursday, September 10, 2015, in Center.
Funeral services are pending at Watson & Sons Funeral Home in Center.
Today, Norman Neel in the North part of SA County picked up a nice .16 inches while Geoff Reeder just a mile down the road only saw .05 hit his rain gauge. Here in San Augustine we had .25 and the Broaddus area in the South part of SA County had a nice .27 inches. Coming home from Houston I was in a 2.29 inch downpour SE Loop 10 and another .74 inch as I tried to make my way into Humble where I had to stop again for 15 minutes to let the storm pass. The chances for rain have diminished for tomorrow even though the cold front has not yet passed through East Texas. It seems to have lost the favorable pattern for rain making...temps still in low to mid 80's for highs...what would you think about some 50's for lows Saturday and Sunday evenings....really....50's!! We'll see.el Nino and Wetter and Cooler Weather still on tap for usThe current El Nino phenomenon, a global weather pattern known to wreak havoc every few years, should last until spring and likely become one of the strongest on record, forecasters said Thursday.That expected strength makes El Nino likely to peak in late fall or early winter and bring more precipitation than normal to the drought-stricken southwestern United States, the US Climate Prediction Center said."At this point it could be one of the three strongest El Ninos we have seen," Mike Halpert, deputy director of the center, told reporters.Between June and August, average sea surface temperatures in affected regions were the third-warmest since record keeping began, the center said, behind 1987 and 1997."In any measure, 1997 was still stronger than we are seeing right now," said Halpert.Forecasters placed the likelihood at 95 percent that this El Nino, in which warmer Pacific waters cause changes to global weather circulation, will last until spring.And it placed the likelihood that the southwestern US states will see much-needed wetter-than-normal winters between 33 and 60 percent, depending on region.But Halpert said the most reliable prediction they have regarding El Nino's impacts is that the Gulf of Mexico and bordering regions will have a wetter and cooler than normal winter."At this point we have fairly high probability for that," he said.It is also expected to contribute to warmer than average temperatures in Alaska, Canada, and the northern, western and central United States.

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS (10 –18)
10. Discuss and possibly take action: Set “Call Out” Pay for the Police Department
Effective immediately; the first call out will be Saturday, Sept 19th (12 hrs) and
Sunday, Sept 20th (12 hrs). The 2015-2016 proposed rate in the budget is $100 per
weekend for the person who is on call, that is a rate of $4.16 per hour for that
officer. There is no additional pay for being called out while on call. The Council
will decide whether to increase pay by $25.00 for each, Easter Sunday, Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day, if those holidays fall during an on call day.
11. Discuss and possibly take action: Amending the handbook in order that the “On
Call” officer be allowed to take the patrol car to his home at the end of the day,
immediately preceding his on call shift. The current schedule will require the officer
to take the car home on Saturday morning at the end of the 12 hr Friday PM shift.
The car will remain with the officer on call until he returns to duty for the Saturday
PM shift. When the officer gets off at 8am on Monday morning, the car will remain
with the regular M-F patrol officers “in town” and not be taken home again until the
weekend. The City Attorney has stated that “response times” may be included in the
handbook but should be reasonable and not set in miles but minutes. The State Law
provides that employees may have to be able to respond to Civil Emergencies within
certain time frames. Having reasonable response times for officers that are “on call”
should be considered for everyone’s safety.
12. Discuss and possibly take action: Amend the handbook with regard to paying
Police Officers, time and one half for time worked in excess of 84 hours in a 7 day
Period, there will be no more overtime pay. The three officers will be paid on Friday
Every two weeks and Chief Graham will continue to be paid weekly 40 hrs.

120 hours of vacation annually. They are currently required to take off 1/3 of those
hours with pay and are allowed to take the other 2/3 without taking time off.
14. Discuss and possibly take action: Adopt Final Budget for fiscal year 2015-2016.
15. Discuss and possibly take action: Adopt Proposed Tax Rate of .313000 per $100
of value. This is an increase of 2.354480 percent for the CITY OF TIMPSON.
16. Discuss and possibly take action: Raise in pay for Matthew Owens from $12.50
to $13.50 since he has received his Class D Water Operator License.
17. Discuss and possibly take action: Resolution of Authority and contact info for
Austin Bank Police Account #2800018349, adding Mayor Debra Smith, Mayor Pro
Tem Ronnie Wolfe, City Secretary Leslie Leathers and Paula Mullins, Municipal

Those whom we lost on September 11, 2001, will forever hold a cherished place in our hearts and in the history of our nation. By a joint resolution approved December 18, 2001, (Public Law 107-89), Congress authorized the president to designate September 11 of each year as "Patriot Day" to perpetuate the memory of those who perished in the attack on America and to pursue peace and justice in the world and security at home.
Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the Auxiliary invite the citizens of Shelby County to join them at their annual Patriot Day Observance, Friday, September 11th, 2014 at the Veterans Memorial located on the grounds of the Historic Shelby County Courthouse. The program will begin at 10:30 am and include a prayer, Pledge of Allegiance, remarks by Center Fire Chief Keith Byndom, Shelby County Sheriff Willis Blackwell, Center Chief of Police Jim Albers and Jessie Griffith of ACE EMS, and memorial wreath laying. The program will be closed with the playing of Taps.
If you cannot join us we urge all citizens to take a moment to remember the over 3000 innocent people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance. America’s collective consciousness demands that all citizens recall and be aware of the deaths of their fellow countrymen. Flags should be flown at half-staff until sunset. More information contact Post Quartermaster Larry Hume, at 598-2976.

Notice is hereby given that a Special Meeting of the City Council will be held on September 8, 2015 at 5:30 pm at the City Hall, 456 Jacob Street, Timpson, Texas, at which time the following subjects will be considered, to-wit:
1. CALL TO ORDER:
2. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION: Accept the resignation of Thomas Jernigan. Thomas
has submitted his letter of resignation to Chief Graham and his last day to work will be
Monday, Sept 7th. His last pay check will be processed on Sept 11th, and the council will
decide whether to approve paying him for any unused vacation hours that he has accrued
thru Sept 11th.
3. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION: Set “Call Out” Pay for the Police Department
Effective Sept 15, 2015. The first call out will be Saturday, Sept 19th (12 hrs) and Sunday,
Sept 20th (12 hrs). The 2015-2016 proposed rate in the budget is $100 per weekend for
the person who is on call, that is a rate of $4.16 per hour for that officer. There is no
additional pay for being called out while on call. The Council will decide whether to
increase pay by $25.00 for each, Easter Sunday, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
4. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION: Amending the handbook in order that the “On Call”
officer be allowed to take the patrol car to his home at the end of his shift, immediately
preceeding his on call shift. The current schedule will require the officer to take the car
home on Saturday morning at the end of the 12 hr Friday PM shift. The car will remain
with the officer on call until he returns to duty for the Saturday PM shift. When the officer
gets off at 8am on Monday morning, the car will remain with the regular M-F patrol
officers “in town” and not be taken home again until the weekend. The City Attorney has
stated that “response times” may be included in the handbook but should be reasonable and
not set in miles but minutes. The State Law provides that employees may have to be able to
respond to Civil Emergencies within certain time frames. Having reasonable response
times for officers that are “on call” should be considered for everyone’s safety.
5. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION: Amend the handbook with regard to paying Police
Officers, time and one half for time worked in excess of 84 hours in a 7 day period, there
will be no more overtime pay. The three officers will be paid on Friday every two weeks
and Chief Graham will continue to be paid weekly 40 hrs.
6. DISCUSS AND POSSIBLY TAKE ACTION: Change Current Vacation Policy-all
officers earn 120 hours of vacation annually. They are currently required to take off 1/3 of
those hours w/pay and are allowed to take the other 2/3 without taking the time off.
7. DISCUSS AND POSSIBLY TAKE ACTION: Allow the Citizens of Timpson to use the
Plaza area on Thursday, September 24th at 7:15 am for a local “See You At The Station”
Event. This will be a public gathering to pray and show support for our law enforcement
officers and other first responders.
8. ADJOURN:
The Council reserves the right to retire into executive session concerning any of the items listed on this agenda whenever it is considered necessary and is legally justified under the Open Meetings Act.
This facility is wheelchair accessible and wheelchair parking is available. Requests for accommodations or interpretive services must be made 48 hours prior to this meeting. Please contact the City Secretary at 254-2421 for further information or needed assistance.

TISD School Meals – Timpson ISD serves free breakfast and lunch to all student through the Community Eligibility Program. In order to continue offering free meals to all students, the district must continue to determine that it meets eligibility requirements.

It is very important that parents fill this form out and send it back to the school district. If you need another form, please contact your child’s building secretary and one will be sent to you. Even if your child does not eat the school breakfast and lunch, we still need you to fill out this form. In addition to free meals, information from this form also determines how much money the district receives from the government through various grants and rebates. All information from the income survey is kept confidential. Thank you for your help in filling out this survey. It helps the school district fund many of its instructional programs and services, and meal programs. If you need assistance filling out the income survey please contact your children’s building secretary or principal.

Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle would like to announce the arrest of a suspect following numerous complaints of trespassing and loitering in the southern end of DeSoto Parish. Over the course of about 2 weeks, DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office received multiple phone complaints in reference to a white male subject trespassing and loitering on property. This subject identified himself as Matt but used different last names during his encounters with the public. Deputies attempted to locate him but were unable to. We were able to positively identify him based off information received from the public. On August 28, 2015, we released a request for assistance in locating the subject from the public on our Facebook page. Thanks to this release, and the attentive public, we were able to locate the subject operating his vehicle on US Highway 84 near Logansport, LA on August 29, 2015 at about 10:02 a.m. Deputies observed the driver of the vehicle fail to keep his lane of travel and the vehicle had no license plate. A traffic stop was initiated for these reasons, as well as to inquire about the previous complaints. The driver, identified as Matthew Kelly Cawthon (W/M – DOB: 11/12/1966) of Shreveport, LA, was found to be driving without a driver’s license on his person and in possession of an open alcoholic container. He was placed under arrest for the traffic offenses. Deputies also spoke with him about trespassing on and loitering around other people’s property. Mr. Cawthon was booked on the above charges. He later posted a cash bond and was released pending court.
Sheriff Arbuckle would like to remind the public that anytime you see anything out of place for your area to please contact our office at 318-872-3956. Suspicious vehicles and persons can lead to breaks in major cases and have solved or prevented many crimes, like burglary, home invasion, and theft.
Shelley Brophy identifies her restaurant as an "independent alternative"
for residents and tourists. It is one of the parts of the Nacogdoches whole.
"Shelley's Bakery Cafe gives customers an enjoyable and casual dining
choice, improves the value of downtown and promotes all of the community,"
said Jessica Henderson, Chairman of the Chamber Board of Directors.
"Because of the contributions and positive impact the business makes, the
Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce board named Shelley's Bakery Cafe as
Small Business of the Year."
Brophy said the success comes from testing and adapting along the way and
doing homework before the business opened in June 2006, with input from
community leaders, friends and family.
"Just look around," Brophy said, referencing the cafe's decor. "My mother
Peggy Fare has the artistic talents that created the charm of the
restaurant. It's gorgeous, it's timely and it's classic because of her.
Plus, she's a great taste tester."
The restaurant has always offered a versatile choice for a casual meal or a
special celebration. Maximizing the time the business is open and changing
the menu and services based on what customers want have been the key to
growth. Brophy said at the beginning, the bakery included fresh-baked bread
ready for pick up. "It didn't sell well and produced waste, so I stopped
that," she said. "But I found that customers needed catering services,
which grew more than I expected."
Another successful side of her cafe developed after her restaurant
Farechild's on North St. closed. Brophy noticed a number of her cafe diners
requested Farechild's menu items. Those special requests led to the monthly
themed dinners. The dinners have been going strong for about five years and
are popular for attendees and fun for her and her staff.
Striking a deal for the downtown location with property owner Diana Walker
was important to Brophy, because she understood from her past experience in
food service that "the amount of money it takes to outfit a restaurant is
different than setting up other ventures. I wanted my business on North
Church St., and Diana agreed to sell the building only if I opened a
restaurant."
Brophy implemented her plans using the advice she had gathered from many in
town including representatives at the Chamber of Commerce, the City and
Nacogdoches Economic Development.
"Shelley first came to me at Nacogdoches E.D.C. asking about where she
might turn to start her own business," said Judy McDonald, who served as
president/CEO. "She and Bill were special people to Archie and me, and I
really wanted to be very careful with any advice that might get her into
trouble.
"I asked what her passion was, and she immediately said 'I love to cook,
make up new recipes and try new foods.' My advice was do what your heart
says to do."
McDonald then put Brophy in touch with Brian McClain at the Angelina Small
Business Development Center and "the rest is history," McDonald said. "But
it is the history she made that has influenced the growth of our downtown
and so our city. Her gift for food preparation is only a small part of the
contribution she makes to making our part of the world better."
Before there was the thought of opening Shelley's Bakery Cafe, Brophy
earned a masters degree and worked in the field of grief counseling that
included hospice and Alzheimer's patients and their families. Close friend
Nancy Speck Mangham also worked in the same area and became an encourager
for the new business. "Because I interrupted what I was doing and opened up
a restaurant, doesn't mean I stopped having the interest. It never went
away," Brophy said. " I am still involved in that area, and Nancy and I
share that, and she loves the restaurant."
Brophy recalled local bankers supporting the business opening in practical
and endearing ways.
While seeking the right financial partner, Brophy remembered a phone call
that brought what she needed to get the venture through the starting gate.
"I answered the phone and heard the voice, 'Shelley, this is Francis
Spruiell at Austin Bank. Girl, we need to talk. Tell me what your plans
are.' Francis wanted to work with me," Brophy said.
Banker Ron Collins played a big part in settling on a business name.
Two names were in mind, and Brophy conducted her own public survey to
settle the debate. When she asked Collins his opinion, he gave an answer
that was in favor of neither. "You can name it whatever you like," Collins
said. "I'm calling it 'Shelley's' and I'll be there."
Brophy acknowledged that for her, there is no separation between running
her business and serving the community - and when the city prospers, so
does her business.
She is currently serving a fourth term as City Council Member for the
Northeast Ward. Relationships have grown from holding the position as well
as a love for the service to the citizens. With a business that is open to
the public, customers who happen to be residents know that they might catch
her for quick discussions over lunch, while picking up pastries or just
popping in.
"It has been a wonderful avenue to work with others toward a common goal,
promoting and preserving our city, finding new ways to attract families,
businesses, new ways to take care of our citizens," Brophy said. "We have
updated parks and trails, good schools and a place with culture, because
our citizens voice what they want, and they're participatory in making
those wants a reality. Being part of that is a wonderful experience."
Brophy predicts that the recent growth of local healthcare services will be
good for business, and important in the livability of the city.
For tourists, Brophy and her staff take every opportunity to make their
visits to the restaurant and the town the best they can be by promoting the
unique sites and attractions.
McDonald said, "Her gift to us is her big smile, welcoming hugs, listening
ear and determination. Shelley is always thinking how she can help improve
the lives of our citizens. She is a great restaurateur, servant of our
people and dear friend."

Plenty of LOW and HIGH pressure systems across the US will create mixes of warmer and cooler air masses to give some opportunities for some widely scattered showers and T-storms even into East Texas over the next several days. Not a lot of rain associated with the forecast, but at least it is in the forecast.
The following is an update on the tropical weather:
- ATLANTIC....Coast of Africa: TS Fred will increase in strength to Hurricane level 1 in next 24 hours, but is already beginning its Northward bend into cooler waters and will not affect the US.
- GULF...Invest 90(what is left of Hurricane Ericka) has very widely mixed directional forecasts from movement toward Florida's panhandle and North,,,, to LA coast entry to the West. It is currently moving due West into warmer waters of the Gulf and bears watching closely to see if it strengthens.
- GULF...More bands of rain and T-storms moving from the Southern part of the Texas Coast toward the Houston area and could present opportunities for us for some rain if the intensity is sustained.
- PACIFIC...Still very active. Hurricane Kilo will once again increase in strength and become a cat 4 hurricane and will become a Typhoon as it crosses the dateline.
- PACIFIC...Hurricane Ignacio is a level 1 hurricane and is located just North of the Hawaiian Islands. It is turning North and will die off as it hits the cooler waters.
- PACIFIC...Hurricane Jimena is also retaining it s cat 4 status, but is also showing signs of turning North in to cooler waters where it will fall to a Cat 1 in 48 hours or so.
- PACIFIC..Tropical Depression 14E continues to make for the Baja and Mexican coast. If it holds together it could give some impetus to rain in Texas
The graphic below reflects the directional models made by weather agencies across the world.
