Does anyone else have problems with your computer freezing up whenever you try to click on a link on this website? It seems that about half the time I try to view the Police Report, etc. it just locks up. Annoying.
The pages that don’t come up instant only take about 20 seconds. You must either have a really bad connection or a really old computer.
Maybe. It’s a four year old Dell with 2GB ram and a T1 connection. Maybe I’m not patient enough.
Four years these days may as well be from caveman days. Doesn’t sound that old though. Maybe it’s something like the processor or the video card. I check this site from 4 different computers and don’t have any problems unless my internet is moving very slow.
With Nacogdoches jumping on the bandwagon in the biker scene, enjoying the money brought in because we stay at your hotels, eat at your restaurants, etc…we take our children with us to most everything; so wet t-shirt contests and such are the norm. If people do not think nudity is an embarassment–then it’s not. I am not going to argue my viewpoints on this or parenthood. My question is: why is the local law enforcement an all time presence at OTT–however your local dance club “Babydolls” was shut down. People CHOSE to work here and be patrons. (Inside a building, I might add). Did the dancers for the wet-tshirt contest and “bikini” show at OTT already have their licenses?
Someone really needs to contact the Sheriff’s Dept. concerning all the music and dancing going on in this town. Since they shut down BabyDolls; we hope not to see any legs, booty shorts, or the like at any of the bands performing live music (gasp) at the clubs….or heaven forbid OTT.
To the constables in nac county .Good job on getting the meth heads off the streets.Please keep up the good work you still have a lot to get . GOOD WORK PCT1 AND PCT 4
State Hwy. 21 East has been reopened between Douglass and Alto.
Gimlet, thanks for the update. There’s also another post for fire updates. You might post there too. http://everythingnac.com/?p=17872
Anyone wishing to help your volunteer fire department with buying fuel to fight the fires, you can make a donation at Austin Bank on North St. to the FIRE ASSISTANCE FUND. Money collected will be given out the to VFDs involved.
FM 343 has been closed at FM 1648 near the Angelina River. All westbound traffic on FM 343 is being detoured to State Hwy. 204 near Sacul.
A major fire is burning in eastern Nac Co. along the Angelina River from FM 343 south toward Douglass. Cushing, Lilbert-Looneyville, and Douglass VFDs have units battling the blaze, as well as the TExas Forest Service. Persons living in this area should remain alert for advancing fire lines. The National Weather SErvice has issued a RED FLAG WARNING for all of East Texas today due to the dry conditions and high winds.
Well, tried to call the D.A.’s office today at 4:00 to see if my property had been recovered and they were already closed down. What the he**????
Are you sure your suppose to call the D.A.’s office for your property? Why dont you try the Property Officer at the S.O. or P.D.? They have a full time officer in charge of property. The D.A. is only responsible in prosecuting the person who took your property. They’re not the lost and found.
Yes, I’m sure I’m supposed to call the DA’s office because I’ve been working with them already, or at least trying to. I don’t need your uninformed advice about who to call. What I need is a DA’s office that is regularly open during normal working hours. This one is not.
Motorcyclist wrecks on 2259 this morning after high speed chase with Nacogdoches Sheriff’s deputy.
What I want to know is, why are gas prices higher in Nacogdoches than every place around us? And why don’t we do something about it? I just don’t know where to start.
Maybe if we didn’t buy gas inside the Nacogdoches city limits for a few days Denny Oil and Morgan Oil would go down. Why don’t we spread the news and try that for a few days? This could be fun!
I feel that all of this negativity toward Central Heights School, the Schools Board of Directors, Supertendant, Church, and members of our community is not just. We have had a great community where the different religions could always get along and even share in some functions. Our school has made tremendous steps in the right direction with the new facilities, great staff, wonderful administration and a terrific board of directors. It takes a majority of the board to vote anything in or not in as well as it takes a group of people to make great things possible. We have been a fairly religious community but reading the post on this web site really makes you wonder. It is true that what goes up must come down. Are we ready to allow all of the angry people to make us look so bad? The opposite sides needs to talk in person and work out their differences. That is what the Bible tells us to do. Why taint the beginning of our childrens new school year, in such a beautiful facility, that many people worked hard to make happen, over petty adult problems. The adults need to act like adults. If you want things different there is a right way to handle it. If your problems are with a church go to the pastor, or elders/deacons of the church. If your problem is with the school go to the Supertendant/ or the school board members. Go to a board meeting and let your voices be heard in the appropriate venue. If yor have a problem with a person talk to them directly and not behind their back. We are all neighbors and need to get along. I would hate for a few people to ruin the community, school and friendship that we work on building during our lifetime.
Is this forum really anonymous are can you see how is sending post. And if will you tell.
The post are anonymous. I am given an IP address, but that doesn’t tell me anything other than what city you are posting in and if you are using the same IP to post both sides of a conversation.
Why? Are you ashamed of what you are going to say?
Central Hights ISD ,Iam realy concerned adout how the last board member got elected .This opening was not made public if so not very loud.I think he was put on there to help out his friends agenda. The superintendent is being used also by the same friends. Do all the other board member also have a hiden agenda . Are theyup there to help the school and the kids. Lets get back to doing whats right for everybody not just a few. HOW MANY MORE BOARD MEMBER HAVE STRING ATTACHED I HOPE THEY ARE NOT ALL PUPPETS!!!!!HOW ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENT DOES HE !!
I agree i heard just the other day theye voted to let this undenominational church to use the school. Is that what you call a church where the prechers wife can get drunk. Just look at her in florida . Its kinda bias when to of the board member go to this church. I SEE THE STRING AND AGENDAS
Me to just look at them on face book. And a husband in that position.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS ON EVERYTHING NAC. POST IT AND COME TO THE BOARD MEETING AND BE HEARD. 8/25/11 6;30 PM
What happened at the Board meeting last night? Was the church issue addressed?
nothing happened at the meeting. you chikencraps were to scared to show your anonymous faces.
Haaa!
What’s the matter? You weren’t invited? Such slander……very sad…..nice people you’re bashing ….. always bringing kids from all churches together. If you disagree w decision, that’s fine, but the personal attack lacks respect and class……and kind spirit.
Ok so is it a “sin” for a group of friends to get together and go to the beach? Is is a ” sin” for a friend to play a joke on her husband and take a picture with two guys standing next to her? You gossipers need to take another look at those pictures and you will see nothing but a group of women laughing and having a good time! ( the have no alcohol no are they drunk– it’s obvious!) just because you don’t like one or all of them, or maybe you have become crossways with them doesn’t mean you have to slander their name. We ALL sin everyday, wether it be in our own homes, in a group of friends or on this website. This lady you are slandering is accountable to one person and that is the Lord. Just remember when you are pointing your finger at someone there are three more pointing back at you.
Amen sister!! Don’t know ya but I like ya!! I am a christian and have gone to the beach and even drank a glass of wine…and I’m still a christian. I do however know this lady(many years) that was being lied about. A good person and surely not a drunk! That part is ridiculous…..and what a horrible thing for miss anonymous to say! Part of being a Christian is not acting with mal intent to another human being
AkA, be kind…..Love thy neighbor….
What’s your definition of a church? If you’re going to allow your own hypocrisy to show by criticizing another instead of encouraging one another in Christ, you need to get some things straight. A CHURCH isn’t a place where perfect people go with their perfect lives and glorify God. It’s a place for us average people- us people who everyday struggle with sin and pray to God that we don’t let it consume us. No one living on this Earth right now is perfect. I don’t know the facts, whether or not someone got drunk or not, and honestly, it doesn’t matter. That decision is between that person and God. It’s not something that us as believers and us as fellow human beings should go around gossiping about and slandering names. If two people on the school board are attending said church, awesome. That tells me that at least two of the school board members will hopefully include God in their decisions. Personally, I thank God that the school was capable of allowing a church to use its facility. It tells me that God hasn’t completely left our schools yet.
CENTRAL HEIGHTS ISD —- I think the state should look into this there are law governing them . Does anyone else need a place to meet they have to let you meet there. Any atheist
I also think the school board is wrong for letting members vote when they have something to gain.
THIS IS TRUE. WHEN IS THE NEXT BOARD MEETING
WHAT HAS THIS SCHOOL COME TO. I REMEMBER WHEN THE BOARD MEMBERS WOULD STAND UP FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT.NO MATTER HOW WAS TRYING TO PULL STRINGS. WE NEED TO ELECT MEMBER THAT WILL DO THIS NOT BE PUPPETS. WE ARE PUSHING THE LIMIT NOW WITH THE PRAYING IN SCHOOL. WHATS THIS ADOUT A CHURCH. LETS GET BACK TO THE KIDS AND SCHOOL
The next board meeting is this Thursday,August 25, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Come early & voice your opinion.
8/25/11 7:00 PM YALL COME
The law about the board and there vote states. That if a board member has something to gain they can not vote. Looks like the board had two members vote when they should have taken thereself out of the vote. BOTH GO TO THIS CHURCH AND ONE SOLD THEM THE INSURANCE . YOU WOULD THINK THE BOARD MEMBER WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS .THIS IS THE LAW
YOU HAVE TO BE TRAINED TO NO THIS
so that would mean 4 couldn’t vote if by “something to gain” includes satisfaction because 4 board members go to that church , I don’t go there but am a ch tax payer. If that group of youth wants to meet for an hour on Sunday and meet on wed night in the old gym I say wonderful
At least they aren’t
Out doing drugs…….is this about this or something else like power and satisfaction. Those kids aren’t hurt in a thing. Let em be. From what I understand after some intense research after wife told me about some slanderous posts, there’s about forty five kids.let them be! I think I know what it takes for staunch conservatives to take a liberal skin now!Ha!
oh gets better… church was planned a year ago to be in the school then place buddy on the school board secretly from the public pretty much. Not to mention that the preacher man trys to run something and not even on the school board nor employeed. But uses friendship
STAND UP AND BE THERE
Does anyone have the names and numbers of the school board members.
THE BOARD MEMBERS DON”T WANT TO BUCK THE GOOD OLD SYSTEM. YOU WASH MY BACK I”LL WASH YOURS
School Board Members, this should be enough complaints to have this discussed in next meeting. Why should the community have to point out these issues at the school and your not aware of this. This has stepped out of the boundaries! School has no issue with the bible verses…but if all these points are true about the preacher and attendies then our school should not allow.
STEVE WILLIAMS IS THE PRESIDENT HOW WILL HE HANDLE THIS HIS NUMBER IS IN THE PHONE BOOK
THAT IS SO TRUE
I”M NOT A RES OF CHSISD .BUT IT’S SO WRONG FOR A BOARD MEMER TO USE HIS ARE HER VOTE TO BETTER THER ON CAUSE. THE BOARD ABD RESIDENTS NEED TO STAND UP TO THIS. THE ELECTED PEOPLE COMMUNITY AND CITY FORGET HOW THEY GOT THERE. THEY NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING .IT’S THE LAW
Does anyone out there no what is really going on with the school board.
Christians were slaughtered in the past and now again today? God gave his Son to die for all of us and all we can hear is demeaning things towards our brother’s and sister’s in Christ. I honestly pray that some of the things that you guys have said are forgiven. I know that i am a sinner everyday but have forgiveness and passion through Christ.
I’m a sinner to but i don”t go to churh on sunday morning and act like i am a saint. And my spouse stand in front of everyone and tell them how they need to run ther lives. I have always been told don’t throw rocks in a glass house. This man of good needs to clean his own door step off before he trys to clean someone elses. I don’t no how a man of god can talk about people and say the things he has.
We won’t be visiting this site anymore. All this is, is the devil,s high tech tool for spreading rumors, “conspiracy theories”, and feeding hungry, angry souls. The lynch mob approach. Many families not directly affected, but reading this and learning of it are Praying for that group of youngsters to find a peaceful place to spend a couple of hours on Sunday, worshipping God.
THANKS!!!!!!!!
I know this group of people/kids and they are awesome. My niece actually got saved with this group of childrenat church camp and attended many church functions ,as did many other children, even though they are not members of that church. They are good people. I also know the ugly character bashing that is being done is totally unfounded and just a pure falsehood. Don’t believe everything you read about a person because sometimes the person that writes it is the one with the agenda.
I’m sorry I just have to respond to this. Not only does the State mandate how the school’s post positions avalable such as outside the Superintendant’s office, the local news paper and the school’s website. If you were so worried about this position you would have known not one but three positions were open. No others signed up, which was a good thing, because then we as a community didn’t have to have an election and costs us more on taxes. Next, if you knew this young man man at all you would know not only was he a Deacon, a Trustee, a teacher on Wednesday nights, a faithful leader in our church. It’s obvious you don’t know this young man at all. He was also a member of our church during this vote, as well as three other board members. So, before you start making accusation’s on someone make sure you have your facts straight first. This is a very faithful, upstanding young man in our community, and I hate to see rumors being made about him.
In the political section, it needs to be brought to someones attention that there is not a Democratic Party. The correct identity is the Democrat Party. Anyone can be democractic but not be a Democrat. Thank Goodness.
Democrat and Democratic are both correct.
What is up with SFA doing away with Lumberjack Alley??? Who thinks this will help attendance to the football games? Just when you get a good thing going somebody has to put a stop to it. Why?
Has anyone else noticed they are trying to cut funds to the constables? Why is it when something starts working well (Jason Bridges) they have to come along and get rid of it? Are the people in charge getting a cut or something? Maybe they are just good friends with the meth heads that Bridges has arrested.
Whatever the reason, it’s really insulting when anyone EVER wants to take money away from a law enforcement agency while budgeting in a big raise for themselves.
This has to be addressed!
Jason is doing an awesome job. Maybe the commissioners should give back the big honkin’ raise they gave themselves last year.
DO WE HAVE TO NAME THE DEALERS IN THIS FORM. ARE CAN PCT 1 ONE DO THERE JOB WE THE PUBLIC WANT TO HELP.
This NEEDS to be addressed !! It would be CRAZY for our commissioners to cut back the funding to our constables ! They are FINALLY cleaning up Nacogdoches County !! If anybody has a problem with how Jason Bridges has been doing his job, then I would personally take offense to that ! I DO NOT and WILL NOT support all these meth-heads in this county. And I WILL NOT sit back and just let our commissioners take up for them in any way whatsoever, without doing or saying something about it. I feel like if any of these meth-heads have strings attached to any of our commissioners, then it’d be best for them to be exposed and cut now too. They are our ELECTED officials. Look at how it has been recently exposed about some of these meth-heads having obvious strings attached already to one of our elected officials (Judge Perkins) ! This is absolutely CRAZY ! This needs to be brought to the publics attention ! I am sure that I am NOT the ONLY voter in Nacogdoches County that feels this way. When is enough going to be enough when it comes to all these Meth-heads ???
I agree. Jason Bridges is the best thing to happen to Nacogdoches County in a long time. I think I’ll make him a cake!!!!!!!
This seems to be a pretty leftist site?? I don’t understand. Isn’t this site intended to represent Nacogdoches, not to endorse politics.
Republicans send in post as well as democrats.
Mainly because Constable Bridges and his deputies are not afraid to get out and work. And they are doing a good job.
Why is it that when I read the sheriffs report and there is a burn ban violation by a hispanic they get a warning and when it is not they are issued a citation? I think you need to issue a citation to them too. Just because they ACT like they cannot speak english or did not know about it should not be cause for overlooking the offense. Otherwise issue only warnings to everyone!
Because they have no ID, don’t show up for court and will just use a different name each time they receive a citation.
So what is the point of issuing a citation? It is just a waste of time and paper.
I WANT TO NO WHY BIDGES AND ALLEN MAKE SO MANY BUST IN PCT 4 AND ALL THE OTHER PCT CANT MAKE A DENT IN THE METH DEALERS. WHAT ABOUT THE CENTRAL HIEGHTS AREA. DO ALL THE DEALERS IN THIS AREA WORK FOR THE LAW.
Probably because Jason does all of his own press releases. The other Pcts are too busy doing their job to write about their own accolades.
I hope the constable in your pct in central hieghts will start busting meth dealers around here. Maybe he needs to ask around and find out who is dealing.
Because the people in Pct 4 were tired of all the drugs and crime and voted for someone who they knew would get the job done. We in Pct 4 are proud to have Jason Bridges and his constables cleaning up our part of the county.
The people in pct 1 are ready for a change in the constables office. If the present constable can not start makeing drug bust in the central heights area. IF YOU CAN NOT DO YOUR JOB ASK FOR HELP
TODAY THE CONSTABLE OFFICE IN PCT 1 MADE A GOOD START ON BUSTING METH DEALERS IN CENTRAL HEIGHTS. I HOPE THEY CAN CARRY ON WITH THIS. THERE IS STILL MORE IN THE SAME AREA. THANKS
JAMES CHATMAN COULD DO THE CRIME BUT HE CAN’T DO THE TIME. SO HE TRIED TO KILL HIS SELF
BIGGER GUN
Why so hateful. Where’s God’s love in that? Why don’t you just pray for him and ask God to heal and help? I hope God helps you with your ungodly hate.
Agree!!!!!!
Heck yeah bay-bee keep them conmig!
Okay. So the State has all these millions of dollars in the bank that are earmarked for paying fire departments for deployments to the west texas fires. But, they are sitting on that money, drawing interest, and will not issue checks for 90 days after all the required paperwork has been filed. This is hurting some small vfds who did not have the money on hand to pay for fuel, insurance, etc.
Is the State of Texas stiffing those firefighters who responded to the wildfires in West Texas and their departments? Several cities who sent manpower and equipment have already incurred expenses, and received no funds from the state. Some of the smaller VFDs also are having to bear their costs and not getting reimbursement from Austin. Many of them do not have the income to absorb the costs of fighting these fires.
It (higher gas prices) has been this way for as long as I have been in Nac. Sorry, I am not a BIN (Born in Nac). Seems as though the local distributors like to gouge locals. Shop Nac First? What a JOKE!
You are correct in that the prices on gas have been fixed for as many years as I can remember and I am a BIN. As far as shopping Nac first, I’m all for that. However, I’m afraid the employers of Nac do not have the philosophy of “hiring” Nac taxpaying citizens first. Their reply will be, “We need to get the best employees we can (college students, or wives of college professors). What I have to say to that is that I need to stop for the best prices and quality I can get as well. I have absolutely no remorse in shopping online or going out of town because I am just like the employers of Nac, I want the best deal I can get.
I have seen local, taxpaying citizens of families who have paid taxes into the NISD for years being rejected because the SFASU coach came to town with a teacher who needed a teaching position. I could go on and on, but that’s the way it goes. However, when the shoe is on the other foot, it’s buy Nac. Sorry, I’m old now and it’s been this way since I was a kid living in a “suburb” of Nac. It’s just that we all can get the best now because the shoppers now have very good choices and since Nac doesn’t care about their hometown people when they get ready to do their hiring, I don’t care about shopping local. Turn about is fair play.
we are getting it stuck to us at the gas pump denny and morgan oil are charging
about a 10 to 15 cent a gallon more than lets say the store at the river is about a dime cheaper. the rudys in teneha which denny owns is 15 cents cheaper than his stations here in town guess it is cheaper to haul it 50 miles i would advise anybody if your going out of town buy gas after you get out of town where you can get it way cheaper.
