The 2015 marching season has proven to be another successful one for the Shelbyville Dragon Military Marching Band. On October 17th, the Dragon Band earned 1st Division ratings from all three judges at the UIL Region 21 Marching Contest. The 1st Division designation earned the band the opportunity to compete at the Area C Marching Contest, originally scheduled to be held at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches. However, inclement weather forced the Area marching contest to be moved to the Indoor Facility at Carthage High School on October 24th. The Dragon Band placed 1st for conference 2A bands at the Area C competition and qualified for the UIL State Marching Contest in San Antonio, Texas. This marked the third consecutive time the Dragon Band won the Area contest and advanced to State. The State Marching Contest alternates every other year between UIL conferences. This year, bands from conferences 2A, 3A, and 5A will compete with the Conference 2A contest being held Monday, November 2nd, at the Alamodome. The Shelbyville Dragon Military Marching Band (SDM2B) will march at 8:12 a.m., with hopes of improving on their 4th Place finish at State in 2013. Carlisle High School and Clarksville High School are the other Conference 2A band representing East Texas at State. Director of Bands for SDM2B is Shaka Hawkins, and Assistant Band Director is Melissa Morton. Good luck at State Dragon Band…Dragon Pride!

Signs must be made of lightweight material and be no larger than 50 square feet.
* Campaign signs may be posted as early as 90 days before an election (no earlier) and must be removed within 10 days after the election.
* Before placing a sign inside of incorporated city limits, check with the city for applicable ordinances.
* If a sign is placed in the right of way or is posing a traffic hazard, it will be removed without prior notice. All costs associated with sign removal will be paid by the sign owner.
Signs placed on private property that can be seen from the roadway must display certain language from Section 255.007 of the Texas Election Code. That specific language and other requirements can be found athttp://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/EL/htm/EL.255.htm.

Sally Jo Philbrick Smith, 75, of Center, went to her heavenly home on Thursday, October 22, 2015.
Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday, October 23, 2015, at Watson & Sons Funeral Home in Center. Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 24, 2015, at First Baptist Church in Center with Rev. Russ Atwood and Rev. Lee Dickson officiating. Graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, October 25, 2015, at Sibley Cemetery in Florien, Louisiana.
Mrs. Smith was born July 26, 1940, in Dallas, to Charles Baxter Philbrick and Thelma Jewel Cunningham Philbrick. She graduated from Sunset high school in Dallas Texas, class of 1958. She received an undergraduate degree in education from Howard Payne University and a graduate degree in Special Education from Stephen F. Austin State University. She was a homemaker, mother and teacher.
She was active in ministries to the hearing impaired early in her life, even interpreting at a Billy Graham crusade in Dallas. She was a gifted teacher of God’s word, teaching: Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Backyard Bible Clubs, Student ministry, The Esther class at First Baptist Center, and several years of Lay Renewals, Prayer Life, Master Life, Joy Seekers conferences, studies by Beth Moore and Experiencing God (for which she served in the pilot program during the writing of the original workbook).
Her life’s mission was to share Jesus with others and teach them how to know God intimately. This took her on mission trips to Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Sweden, Honduras, Mexico and all over the United States. Everywhere she went became a mission field. Even while in the hospital she would tell everyone she met about the Jesus who kept her smiling through the worst of circumstances. Even in her illness she continued sharing Christ through a series of devotional books she wrote (entitled “Come Alone with Me”) recounting the activity of God in her life. In 2011 she began packing Samaritan’s Purse Christmas boxes for children in the 3rd world. She purchased the toys and goodies that would fill the boxes throughout the year, writing a personal note to each child and praying over each box. That first year she packed 20 boxes…The following year 61…then 503, 1250 and despite a late start and an early finish, she put together 630 boxes this year.
To the very end she never stopped working to build the Kingdom of God.

children at home. We were very pleased with the turn out and would like to
say thanks to all who were in attendance!! A special thanks goes out to Ms.

6th and 8th Graders Participation in the World Education Games
Tuesday, in our time zone, Tenaha ISD 6th and 8th graders joined students
all over the world to participate in World Math Day, World Literacy Day, and
World Science Day competitions. Students signed into their topic choice on
the three sites and began completing their 20 games in each event. “We're
now halfway through the World Education Games (WEG) “live” period. So far
over 3 MILLION individual challenges have taken place across the event,
world-wide,” stated Tenaha’s 6th and 8th grade Math teacher, Teresa Wiist.
Wednesday was forecast to be the biggest and busiest day yet, with millions
of students expected to log in and participate. So far, almost 100 MILLION
UNICEF points have been earned by students - a huge amount at this stage of
the competition. This means that students around the world have worked to
contribute over 75 Schools-in-a-Box so far. For every 5000 UNICEF points
earned by students during the World Education Games, 3P Learning will donate
$1 towards supported education projects. The more points earned by our
students during this live competition, the more students we can support in
struggling countries worldwide. Students at Tenaha are doing their part to
add hundreds of points during the three day event.
Only points from students first 20 games for each competition (math,
literacy, and science) will be counted towards their WEG score. Each
competition has pre-set gaming levels. Students can play at any level, but
compete at specific levels to earn WEG points. This makes the competition
fair for students of all ages. The final results for Tenaha students will
be reported after the games have finished. Students can continue to use
their log-in information after the live games have finished. This will help
students to master math, literacy, and science skills.
2nd Grade Field Trip
On Friday, October 16th the 2nd grade classes from Tenaha Elementary
traveled to the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University. Students
enjoyed the production of Fly Guy and Other Stories presented by Theatre
works USA. After the play, the students enjoyed their lunch and the
beautiful weather at Maroney Park. Everyone was well behaved and had a
wonderful time. 2nd Grade teachers are Mrs. Nina Vick and Mrs. Stacie Barr.
We would like to say thank you to our bus driver and chaperones Mr. David
Sims, Mrs. Pat Sims, and Mrs. Jessi Webb.

Panola College student Sarah Botkin hobbled on crutches into her EMT class on October 13, the victim of a head-on collision the evening before. She had been driving home to Nacogdoches on Highway 315 when her car was struck head-on by a speeding vehicle that was attempting to pass two 18-wheelers on a hilly curve. The crash demolished both vehicles, but no one was seriously injured.
For Botkin and the other students in the Panola College EMT class this wreck on a remote stretch of rural highway, at least 45 minutes away from the nearest hospital, illustrates the important role played by EMT personnel.
“I didn’t have to ride in an ambulance that night, but it was good to know trained emergency responders were there in case someone had been seriously hurt,” she said.
Instructor Ronnie Morton has a long career in emergency response, working as a paramedic in Marshall before joining the faculty at Panola College. With the move into the new Health and Natural Sciences Building in the fall semester, the EMT program has expanded to include the newest technology and equipment available.
“We have an ambulance simulator that is fully outfitted with the same equipment you would find on a real unit,” he said. “It comes with four corner-mounted video cameras that allow me to stand in the classroom and watch my students work on the mannequin inside the unit.”
The visual feed from the video cameras shows up on a wall-mounted television screen so that students in the classroom can see and experience the action inside the unit.
The Panola College Paramedic Program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Students in the program start out with courses to allow them to become Emergency Medical Technicians. Through continued study and education, they may decide to obtain a Paramedic certification.
After completing the coursework and a required exam from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, students are able to work as EMTs in fire departments, private emergency medical services, hospitals, and ambulance companies.
The average pay for an EMT is $14.91 per hour, or $31,020 per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job outlook projects 23 percent growth for EMTs and paramedics, a rate much faster than average.
EMTs and paramedics respond to 911 calls for emergency medical assistance, and are often called upon to perform CPR, treat wounds, assess patients’ conditions, and determine a course of treatment. The Panola College EMT coursework trains students in the use of all equipment inside an ambulance, from backboards and neck braces to oxygen and other medical devices. Some EMTs work as part of medical helicopter flight crews, transporting critically injured patients to a hospital from the scene of an accident or other emergency situation.
EMT-Basic is the entry level position for someone completing the coursework. Students who continue with their education may obtain certification as an Advanced EMT, and ultimately, may become a certified Paramedic.
“Paramedics can provide more advanced care than EMTs,” Morton explained. “Paramedics may give medications orally and intravenously, and they can interpret EKGs, intubate patients, and use other more complex monitors and equipment.”
EMTs and Paramedics work in high-stress situations, but they save lives every day, Morton added.
“By using the ambulance simulator and going through the coursework, my students gain the confidence they need to perform in life or death situations,” he said.
Students currently enrolled in the EMT class come from diverse backgrounds and locations. Kaleb Jones of Carthage helped out in emergency response before signing up for the EMT class. “I just like helping people,” he said. Harold Faucett, IV, of Woodlawn near Marshall currently works as a volunteer fire fighter, and decided to pursue a career in emergency medical services. Joshua Serrano of Elysian Fields is known as “Doc” to his fellow classmates because he is taking pre-med courses along with his EMT class.
Registration for Panola College spring 2016 semester opens on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Students interested in the EMT program must have completed a high school diploma or GED, or be a senior currently enrolled in high school. Students must also have CPR certification from an approved American Heart Association trainer. The CPR certification is available at Panola College.
For more information about the program, contact Kelley Hammond at Panola College, 903-694-4524, or email khammond@panola.edu. Information is also available on the Panola College website at http://www.panola.edu/programs/health-sciences/emt/index.html.

Watson & Sons Funeral Home presents:
Inez Neilson Davis, 89, of Center, Texas passed away on October 17, 2015 in Carthage, Texas.
Funeral services will be held at the First United Methodist Church of Center, Texas on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 1:30 pm with Reverend Karen Jones officiating. Burial will follow at Oaklawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Center, Texas. Visitation will be on Monday, October 19, 2015 at Watson and Sons Funeral Home from 5-7 pm.
Inez was born in McKinney, Texas to the late H.H. Neilson, Sr. and Mavet Thomas Neilson on February 20, 1926. She graduated from McKinney High School in 1943 and from Southern Methodist University in 1946 with degrees in Spanish and Psychology. She was also an active member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority.
Inez put her servant’s heart into practice from a very young age, and she would continue to use her God-given gifts and time to the benefit of others her entire life. She used her love of singing and dancing to help plan events and dances for returning soldiers through the U.S.O. in McKinnney following World War II.
It was a blind date, arranged by her SMU roommate, which introduced Inez to her own soldier, W.I. Davis, Jr. She and W.I. were engaged to be married in 1946, with their wedding the following year on April 5 in McKinney, Texas. Upon marriage, the couple moved to Center, Texas to start their life together, putting down roots that would spread all across East Texas.
Throughout her life, Inez lent her support to the First United Methodist Church of Center. There, she used her musical talents as a member and director of the Center First United Methodist Church Choir. She recognized the importance of practicing a strong faith, becoming an active member of the United Methodist Women. Along with Doris Parker and other members, she initiated a local nursing home ministry that continues to this day, hosting monthly birthday celebrations for the residents.
Inez and W.I. knew the value of a Christian household, and wanted to help provide an opportunity for the same Christian home environment to Texas orphans and foster children as they gave their own family. Together, Inez and W.I. supported the Methodist Children’s Home, regularly participating in Wrangler meetings for the Boys’ Ranch.
To say that Inez enjoyed fellowship with her family and community would be an understatement. She had an indescribable way of making everyone she met feel comfortable, welcomed, loved, and like an immediate addition to her family. She exuded grace, selflessness, hospitality, and impeccable southern charm to all she met. Inez possessed incredible wisdom, which she earned through an earnest and disciplined study of God’s word. Instead of using wise words, more often than not she led by example. She showed her faith through her actions, her warm smile that extended through her clear blue eyes, and her unwavering presence at all of her church ministries. The love that the Lord poured out on her she gave unselfishly to each person she encountered.
Inez shared her musical talents with the Center Music Study Club, and was a life member of the National Federation of Music Study Clubs. Inez enjoyed regularly attending state and national music club conventions.
She was a charter member of the Eta Rho chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority in Center.
Mindful of the family legacy passed on to her, Inez joined the Nacogdoches chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She went on to leave her legacy to younger generations who look up to her, family and community alike.
Inez learned early on one of life’s most important lessons. Her life was not without illness, sorrow, or challenges, but when these trials came she did not hesitate to trust in God’s strong foundation. She continued to get up, get dressed, sing God’s praises, and greet everyone with her warm, gracious smile; a smile from the heart, and from her solid faith in God that is forever imprinted in all of our hearts.
Inez is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Neilson and Diana Ashby Davis; daughter and son-in-law, Cynthia Davis Griffin and Guy Griffin; grandson, Patrick Griffin and wife, Kasey; granddaughter, Kelly Griffin Wahl and husband, Wesley; grandchildren, Shannon Grammer and Larry Shoults; great-grandsons, Justin and Jason Bobbitt, numerous other relatives, and a host of friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, W.I. Davis, Jr. and brother, Horace Neilson, Jr.
A heartfelt thanks to Marie Small, LaKendra Barnes, the caregivers of Always There Home Care, and Marion Place for their loving care of our mother.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorials be made to the Methodist Children’s Home, P.O. Box 5010, Waco, Texas 76708 or First United Methodist Church, 211 Porter Street, Center, Texas 75935.

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.
13. 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 with pay and are allowed to take the other 2/3 without taking time off.
14. Discuss and possibly take action: The Council will discuss securing the Financial
Auditing Services of Frank Campos for the FY ending 9/30/15.
In the event these services are NOT accepted, Item 15 will need to be discussed.
15. Discuss and possibly take action: Advertise for bids for the financial audit of a
Governmental agency with Grants totaling LESS THAN $500,000 *Requires a
Single Audit compliant with Federal OMB A-133.
16. Discuss and possibly take action: Raise in pay for Matthew Owens from $13.50
to $14.50 since he has received his Class D Water Treatment Operator License.
17. Discuss and possibly take action: Hiring a part-time office worker at City Hall
2 days a week (16 hrs) @ $9.00/hr.

THS Youth Advisory Council – The Timpson High School Youth Advisory Council is a group of students dedicated to three core values: community service, personal responsibility and setting a good example for others to follow. YAC founder and advisor Mr. Vernett Richardson began with less than 10 students in the Youth Advisory Council and has grown it to over a 100 student membership. YAC members volunteer and help organize a number of school and community events including the Veterans and Memorial Day programs, Frontier Days and school events. To develop personal responsibility YAC members are expected to always show respect to others, set goals and develop plans to achieve their goals and understand and accept responsibility for their words and actions. YAC members also are charged with setting a good example for others to follow by maintaining good order and discipline, respecting authority at all times and learning good character traits and apply them to life situations. Mr. Richardson meets with the YAC members regularly to help them develop and practice these core values. YAC members also have the opportunity to become leaders with the council organization. They are required to apply for these leadership positions. He hopes these important skills will not only help students during their school years but will be life skills they can use to become successful contributing adults.

Tenaha Sweeps Varsity Titles at District
Yesterday in New Summerfield, Coach Lauri Sisk and the Tenaha High School
and Junior High Cross Country teams competed in the District 22-2A District
Meet. The day and the course would be painted maroon as Tenaha won three
out of the four district team titles that were up for grabs. For the first
time ever, Tenaha is home to the Varsity Boys and Girls District Cross
Country Champions. Also, the Tenaha Junior High Boys team ran their way to
the Junior High Championship as well.
Congratulations to Coach Sisk and all the runners who have logged the many
tough and hot miles in the early morning and afternoon. Next up for Tiger
XC is the Regional Meet at Sam Houston State on Saturday, October 31 for a
chance to advance to State!
Tigers Cap Festive Homecoming Day with 47-13 District Win
After slugging through the brutal non-district slate, Coach Craig Horn and
the Tenaha Tigers began the 2nd season by opening up District 11-2A play
against the previously 4-1 Maud Cardinals. After giving up an early score
to the Cardinals, the young Tigers found that “old Tiger swagger” and put
together a barrage of big plays, big hits, and fast play. After taking a
20-6 lead into halftime, Tenaha exploded for two big TD passes in the 3rd
quarter and two additional long runs to cap off a successful district
opening 47-13 win in front of a large, happy, and excited Tenaha Homecoming
crowd. At 1-0, the Tigers are off this week to prepare for Shelby County
rival Timpson. Next Friday’s game at Tiger Stadium will begin at 7:30 PM
and will no doubt have large implications in the District Championship race.
The Best Homecoming Tradition in Texas
Beautiful weather, great floats, big crowds, happy faces, great kids, one
train, and a Tiger win is the best way to describe another great Homecoming
week in Tenaha. This year’s edition certainly did not disappoint. In fact,
the Tenaha Homecoming reputation even lured a writer from the Dallas Morning
News who is writing a book about Texas Football Traditions to include the
Tenaha Homecoming among those he writes about.
Congratulations to Rebekkah Bridges, this year’s Homecoming Queen as well as
Jakedrick Roundtree, this year’s king. Also, thank you to all who
contributed to making the Tenaha Homecoming what it is. A special thanks to
Mrs. Jernigan and the Tiger Booster Club for putting on the Hamburger Lunch.
It was great to see so many happy faces in Tenaha!!
Saturday Marks the Beginning of the State Contest Quest
This Saturday, the Sweepstakes acclaimed Roarin’ Band from Tigerland will
set out to accomplish the unthinkable. That is to attempt to qualify for
the State Marching Contest in just the second year of transitioning from
military to corps style marching. Second year director Brian Sours says
“It’s the toughest Region in the state” remarking about the quality of depth
of the Tigers competition. Top notch bands from Shelbyville, Carlisle,
Beckville, Timpson, and San Augustine will compete among others to make 1st
Division this Saturday at Stephen F. Austin for the right to advance to Area
competition next week (also at SFA). Awaiting the qualifiers from this
Saturday are Clarksville and Union Grove who boasts the top bands from the
Northern part of the Area. It won’t be easy, but Mr. Sours expects the
Tiger band “to give it its best shot.”
Tenaha will perform at 11:30 AM Saturday just ahead of the San Augustine
Band.

Panola College rodeo made a short trip this weekend to Pittsburg, Texas for the 3rd Southern Region rodeo. Canadian native bareback rider, Bailey Plaisier, increased his position in the standings with a 71 point ride. The score was strong enough to win 5th place at NETCC, and move Plaisier to number 9 in the Regional standings.
Laramie Johnson started the year with a victory and has not let up since. A time of 2.3 seconds in the breakaway event was fast enough for second place at the rodeo, but more importantly moves her to the number one spot in the Southern Region.
R.D. Carter, and partner Zach Moore, had a fast run in the team roping with a time of 6.9 seconds. The time was fast enough to win the 8th spot at the rodeo and give them points towards regional standings.
Bull rider, Gannon Ivy, has his eyes on the number one spot this season and a chance at a national title. He is now sitting in the number 3 position in the overall standings.

The Panola college rodeo team traveled to Uvalde, Texas this weekend for the 2nd Southern Region rodeo. The women’s team continued their hot streak by finishing 2nd overall. The men’s team struggled a little bit, but was able to put enough points on the board to stay in the top 5 of the men’s team in the Southern Region.
Bailey Plaisier made a bareback ride good enough to finish in 6th place, and get some team points on the board for Panola College. The Canadian bareback rider is a single event cowboy attending his first year at Panola College.
Breakaway roping is a very fast and competitive event. Two sophomore girls showed their skills this weekend by winning points in Uvalde. Nicole Reeves and Sarah Anne Broussard, who are both Louisiana cowgirls, where on top of their game. Nicole posted a 2.1 second run winning first and second, while Broussard posted a 2.5 second run for 5th place finish.
Taylor Gooch helped the women’s team with an 8.5 second goat tying run, which landed her in the 7th hole. Taylor is a sophomore and is working on her degree in Petroleum Technologies.
The Johnson Twins strike pay dirt again in the team roping. Laramie and Colton Johnson were able to post a time of 7.4 seconds, to win 4th in their event. The brother and sister team are tied for 2nd and 3rd in the overall Southern Region standings.
The most dangerous event in rodeo by far is the bull riding. Braden Richardson captured the victory with a 70 point ride. Braden won a healthy pay check, as he was the only bull rider to qualify with an 8 second ride.
The Women’s team finds themselves in the in the number 1 overall position in the Southern Region, while the Men’s team hangs tight to the 4th spot. The top two teams in the region, both men and women, move onto the CNFR, held at Casper, WY this July.
With the fall season almost upon us, it is important to remember that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death among North American women, according to Jheri-Lynn McSwain, Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent in Shelby County. Unfortunately, many women with breast cancer do not even know that they have cancer until it is in its advanced stages. It is estimated that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 30 women will die of the disease, Smith says.
So what can we do to decrease our risk of dying of breast cancer? Early detection via health screenings, such as mammography, is an important step. Screening examinations can detect breast cancers early, before symptoms occur, which may make it easier to treat the disease. Screening involves getting mammograms, clinical breast exams, and self breast exams, which are optional. There are many factors in predicting the chances of survival of a woman who is diagnosed with breast cancer, but finding the cancer as early as possible greatly improves the likelihood that treatment will be effective.
When should women starting screening for breast cancer? If you are over 40 years old, you need a mammogram every year, according to Courtney Schoessow, Health Program Specialist with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast that usually involves two views, or pictures, of each breast. Mammograms help find lumps or growths that are too small for you or your health care provider to feel when conducting an exam. Additionally, women who are younger than 40 and have had breast cancer or breast problems or have a family history of breast cancer need a mammogram once a year.
A clinical breast examination is an examination of your breasts by a health professional, such as a doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse, or doctor’s assistant. This exam is also known as a CBE. Clinical breast exams should be part of a periodic health exam, at least every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, and every year for women 40 and over. During your CBE, your health care provider may tell you how to perform a breast self-exam, or BSE. By regularly performing BSEs, you will learn how your breasts normally feel, and you will be able to report any changes in your breasts to your health professional as soon as you find them. Finding a breast change does not mean that there is a cancer. You may choose not to do BSEs, or you can just do them occasionally.
Some women choose not to get mammograms because of the cost. Beginning in 2011, the Affordable Care Act required that all new health insurance plans fully cover screening mammograms without any out-of-pocket expenses for the patient. This is also required of Medicare. For uninsured women and those not eligible for Medicare, resources are available for which these women may qualify. To help women learn about these resources and how to access them, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Shelby County will be conducting a Friend to Friend event on Saturday, October 17th. Sharon Nelson, MS, RN, FNC-P, will be at the event to provide information about both breast and cervical cancers. In addition to the speaker, there will be discussion on the obstacles that prevent women from getting mammograms and pap tests. Nacogdoches Medical Center will be present conducting free health screenings and participants will have an opportunity to schedule a screening mammogram. Lunch will be provided at no charge, door prizes and goodie bags will be available. Help will be provided to direct women who qualify to financial resources that will cover the cost of a screening mammogram. To learn more about the Friend to Friend event, contact the Shelby County AgriLife Extension office at 936-598-7744.
In addition, East Texas Medical Center will be on the square at the Historic Shelby County Courthouse with their Mobile Mammogram Unit on Tuesday, November 3rd providing mammograms for women with or without insurance. To schedule an appointment for a mammogram, call the Extension office at 936-598-7744 and speak to Daphne or Jheri-Lynn.
Remember: The most important screening tools we have are mammograms and clinical breast exams. To reduce your risks of dying from breast cancer, you need to follow the guidelines on when to get them. Taking charge of your health now can lead to a healthier tomorrow. Start by getting screened this month in recognition of the upcoming National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office started our jail tour program in 2014 for students in the 8th grade and up. The purpose of our program is to give students a glimpse of what life is like behind bars. It has been our effort to show students what their lives can be like if they choose to make bad decisions and live a life of crime. Students have the opportunity to listen to inmates talk about their lives and ask questions. We have seen firsthand the impact the inmates have made on the students.
Since starting our program, four of the six school districts in Shelby County have brought their students through our doors: Shelbyville, Tenaha, Timpson and Excelsior. The officers and administration of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest thanks for allowing our office the opportunity to reach out to the youth of Shelby County. We appreciate the teachers, administrators and officers of these districts who see the importance of this opportunity. We know the effort each of you put forth into arranging times to tour the facility and we are grateful.
Our goal from the start was to reach at least one student from each tour and make a change in their life. We feel that one student we reach has the ability to go forward and set a positive example for other students.
To schedule a tour for your campus or to set up a one-on-one tour, please contact jail administrator William Cox at 936-598-5601.
Again, we thank you. Without the participation from our districts, the tours would not be successful.
Sincerely,
Sheriff Willis Blackwell

Gina Graves Furra, 37, of Center was arrested July 21, 2015 after allegedly stealing checks from the home of her grandparents, George and Geneva Burns.
On July 16 Furra reportedly attempted to purchase a vehicle from Melton’s Car Center in Center using a check from Capital One Bank for $12,000. An employee called Capital One and it was revealed the check Furra tried to use was invalid. Furra advised the employee she would return to purchase the vehicle.
The arrest affidavit states Geneva Burns told Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) investigators she was in the back room of the house hanging up clothes when she heard Furra in her house talking on the phone. Burns stated by the time she made it to the living room she could see Furra out the window of the house in a vehicle with a male passenger. Burns said she looked at her desk where two checkbooks were and discovered a check was missing from their farm account and two checks were missing from their personal account. Burns stated that no one had permission to take any of the checks.
During the course of the investigation, SCSO Investigator Kevin Windham contacted Farmers State Bank in Center in reference to the checks Furra passed on the Burns bank accounts. The bank confirmed that on July 15 a check in the amount of $12, 297.67 was issued to Melton’s Car Center with a reported forged signature of Geneva Burns. Furra also issued a check from her account on July 15 to George Burns in the amount of $12,297.67. The investigation revealed after failing to purchase a vehicle with the check from Capital one, Furra traveled to her grandparent’s residence and returned with a stolen check and paid for a car with it. Melton’s Car Center contacted Geneva Burns and found that the check was not legitimate and began looking for the car Furra purchased.
SCSO Sergeant Investigator D.J. Dickerson met with Furra (who was already an inmate at the SCSO on unrelated charges) on July 23 and she confessed to traveling to her grandparents’ home and taking the checks without permission. Furra told Dickerson everything had been returned to the rightful owners, including the vehicle.
Furra was charged with burglary of a habitation – felony three. Her bond was set at $15,000. She posted bond and was released August 7.
Deron Vodre Bowlds, 22, of Logansport, Louisiana was arrested July 7, 2015 after allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Lee Barber, causing seriously bodily injury, stemming from an incident that occurred June 29, 2015.
Shelby County Sheriff Willis Blackwell reports Tuesday, June 30, 2015 patrol sergeant Derek Barbee met with Barber at the Nacogdoches Medical Center, Center Emergency Center. Barber advised Barbee she had been assaulted by Bowlds in Joaquin and then taken into Logansport, Louisiana.
According to the report, Barber told officials she saw Bowlds walking past Brookshire’s in Joaquin around 10:30 p.m. on June 29. Barber stated she stopped and picked up Bowlds and was going to drop him off at Nu-Way in Joaquin. Barber said Bowlds went into Nu-Way, made a purchase, returned to the car and told Barber to drive down the road so the two could talk for a few minutes. Barber said the two traveled down the road beside the store and talked.
Barber stated in the report after driving for a few minutes, Bowlds told her to take him back to the store and drop him off. Barber said as she turned the card and headed towards to the store, Bowlds allegedly punched her in the back of the head and told her to drive to Logansport, Louisiana. Barber told officials that as she approached Nu-Way, she drove her car into the parking lot without hitting the brakes and the car came to rest in a ditch in front of the store. Barber said Bowls continued hitting her.
The report states Barber began honking the horn of the car and screaming. Barber advised that Bowlds bit her in an attempt to keep her quiet. Barber then told officials that Bowlds began to choke her where she couldn’t breathe and he took full control of the car. Barber said Bowlds climbed into the driver’s seat, sat on top of her and drove the car to Logansport, Louisiana and parked it in the woods.
Barber told officials once they arrived at Bowlds home, he snuck her inside the house without anyone seeing her and made her talk to him. Barber advised that Bowlds fell asleep after daylight (June 30) and she was able to escape from the house and ran to her car. Barber then traveled to the emergency room and contacted law enforcement.
Surveillance footage was obtained from Nu-Way in Joaquin which verified what Barber reported to officials. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) also received a call at 11:03 p.m. June 29 from a caller who advised that a gold Pontiac Bonneville left Nu-Way in Joaquin at a high rate of speed and was driving out of control. The caller also indicated she heard a lady screaming inside the vehicle.
Bowlds was charged with aggravated kidnapping – felony 1. He remains at the SCSO on a $6,000 bond.
This case was under the investigation of SCSO Investigator Kevin Windham.
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 3 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.

Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Program Now Available in East Texas
Collaborative Effort Between Burke & Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Deep East Texas Fills Critical Service Gap
(Lufkin, Texas – October 5, 2015) A new short-term medical detoxification program for people addicted to alcohol, prescription medication and/or illegal drugs is now available in Lufkin. This voluntary, in-patient program provides medical safeguards to individuals undergoing symptoms of withdrawal.
The program is a partnership between Burke and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Deep East Texas (ADAC) and will serve individuals Angelina, Houston, Jasper, Nacogdoches, Newton, Polk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, Shelby, Trinity or Tyler counties. Staffed with physicians, nurses, ADAC counselors and other healthcare professionals, the program will help individuals overcome their chemical dependency in a safe and supportive environment.
The program will be housed at Burke’s Mental Health Emergency Center in Lufkin. Initial screening and intake will be managed by ADAC.
"The East Texas community has been without a detoxification program for many years,” said Jake Squiers, chief operating officer at Burke. “This program provides a reliable, local option for people as they are stabilized from substance dependency."
Having local service options is important. First, it removes the hardship of traveling out of town for treatment, increasing the odds that those in need will seek help. Further, it leverages the service organizations already in place.
“ADAC is involved from the initial screening and assessment, through the detoxification program and the transition to ongoing outpatient treatment,” said Phyllis Grandgeorge, executive director of ADAC. “This affords continuity of care that previously was not possible.”
The program will manage up to four patients at a time, and Burke estimates that each patient stay will last between three to seven days.
For more information or to begin an initial screening for the program, call ADAC at 936.634.5753 or 800.445.8562.

LUFKIN -Traffic patterns are expected to change in Nacogdoches County in the coming week as contractors prepare to redirect northbound motorists exiting US 59 onto SL 224 westbound. Webber LLC, contractor for the $5.9 million project, will close the existing cloverleaf entry ramp to motorists exiting US 59 onto SL 224 west or continuing northbound on US 59. Motorists wishing to continue on US 59 northbound or travel on the west loop will need to utilize the left two lanes and turn left under the existing US 59/SL 224 bridge and enter the loop using the newly reconstructed westbound entrance ramp. Motorists can expect lighted message boards warning of the switch and law enforcement officers will be monitoring traffic. The project is designed to reconfigure the intersection, improve traffic signals and add a left and right turn lane. The finished project will provide for better maneuverability, address congestion, maintain a safe system and provide a smoother traffic flow. As construction continues on US 59 and SL 224, motorists are advised to stay alert to workers and heavy equipment throughout the construction projects. Remember traffic fines double when workers are present. For more information, contact Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov<mailto:Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov> or (936) 633-4395.

LUFKIN -As candidates prepare for the Nov. 3 elections, the Texas Department of Transportation is reminding them and their supporters that the law dictates where campaign signs can be placed along Texas roadways.
During campaign season, the Texas landscape is dotted with political signs. Posting signage on public lands is illegal. TxDOT is urging candidates, constituents and supporters to remember:
* It is illegal to place any signs on or within the right of way. This includes posting signs on trees, telephone poles, traffic signs and other objects on the right of way.
* Campaign signs along Texas roads can be placed on private property with the owner's permission.
Signs must be made of lightweight material and be no larger than 50 square feet.
* Campaign signs may be posted as early as 90 days before an election (no earlier) and must be removed within 10 days after the election.
* Before placing a sign inside of incorporated city limits, check with the city for applicable ordinances.
* If a sign is placed in the right of way or is posing a traffic hazard, it will be removed without prior notice. All costs associated with sign removal will be paid by the sign owner.
Signs placed on private property that can be seen from the roadway must display certain language found in Section 255.007 of the Texas Election Code. That specific language and other requirements can be found at http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/EL/htm/EL.255.htm.
For answers regarding signage, visit txdot.gov or contact Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov<mailto:Rhonda.Oaks@txdot.gov> or (936) 633-4395.

The JV football game has be cancelled for this week. We had 18 players according to the athletic director. Injuries to 3 backfield players leaving us no one to fill these spots and the ineligibility of 2 more players for this week leaves us with 13. We have new injuries to varsity as well and need some of these 13 for help with special teams and perhaps on defense this Friday at the varsity game.
