SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY- POLICE ADVISE CAUTION

CONTACT: Sgt. Greg Sowell
Police Department
936.559.2610

The first day of school for Nacogdoches ISD students is Monday, August 27th , and the Nacogdoches Police Department reminds motorists to use caution in and around school zones.

“Traffic is traditionally congested for the first few days in school zones”, said NPD Sgt. Greg Sowell. “Motorists are urged to use extreme caution in these areas”.

NPD reminds motorists that pedestrian traffic will increase in school zones and that speed limits are lower than usual in designated school zones.

Motorists are reminded that cell phone use in school zones is prohibited by state law, unless it is a call for emergency help.

The Nacogdoches Police Department’s Patrol and Traffic Divisions will be actively patrolling school zones, as well as monitoring school busses loading and unloading. Citations will be issued for violations.

Motorists are reminded that state law requires vehicles to stop when a school bus is displaying flashing red lights, either loading or unloading students. “A good rule is to never pass a stopped school bus unless you are directed to do so by the driver, and then only with extreme caution”, Sowell added.

Groundbreaking Ceremony for Elliott Electric Supply Store 1 and NacSpace

August 15th, 2018 Nacogdoches, Tx – Two Nacogdoches companies are celebrating the construction of new facilities that will be commemorated on August 27th 2018 at 10:00am. Elliott Electric Supply’s historic Store #1, currently located at 3804 South St., is moving to a new location next to the company’s headquarters at 2526 N. Stallings Drive, where the ground breaking will be held. The NacSpace IT data center will also be making its debut as one of the two new buildings at the Stallings Drive location.

The new Store #1 location will offer an expanded and more accommodating counter area providing additional space for customers to view the latest cutting-edge electrical products. Elliott Electric Supply customers will also benefit from being able to access a larger inventory with the expanded warehouse operation. Additionally, the new location on Stallings Drive will be more convenient and accessible for customers than the current South Street location. The Lighting Showroom located in the new Store #1 will feature interactive displays that will allow Elliott Electric Supply’s lighting professionals to better serve their customer’s needs. The new location’s increased capacity to serve East Texas customers is expected to create new jobs for the region’s residents.

The second facility breaking ground is a state-of-the-art information technology center that will be the headquarters for the new company NacSpace. NacSpace has emerged from decades of providing in-house software and hardware development to support Elliott Electric Supply’s growth to more than 150 stores across 8 southern states. In observance of the information technology industry in East Texas, NacSpace was founded in an effort to use their accumulated expertise and initiative as a catalyst for the growth and sustainability of IT jobs in East Texas. This new company will offer a full array of managed IT services such as software and hardware supply and support, information security, communications, and networking. Not only will NacSpace offer Managed IT Services, the facility will also provide cost-effective Office Work Space solutions for small businesses and will house a data center designed with Tier II Plus standards in mind, the first of its kind in East Texas. The data center will bring regional solutions for data infrastructure to the Nacogdoches area with the center featuring secured interconnectivity, reliable and redundant high-density power, and a server room with rack space for dedicated business servers. NacSpace is designed to alleviate burdensome IT issues and keep its customers’ data safe so they can have peace of mind while focusing on their core objectives; reliability and security for their clients is at the heart of this new company and their facility.

Free speech therapy available for people with Parkinson’s disease

The Stanley Center for Speech and Language Disorders at Stephen F. Austin State University will begin offering free speech therapy to people with Parkinson’s disease Sept. 4 through a two-part grant-funded program with the Parkinson Voice Project: Speak out! and Loud Crowd.

The Parkinson Voice Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing speech disorders that people with Parkinson’s disease develop. Through the grant, five faculty members in SFA’s Department of Human Services and all graduate students studying speech-language pathology have been trained to conduct the program.

Speak out! is a four-week intensive individual therapy program designed to address the motor speech deficits associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as softer speech, a hoarse or scratchy voice and inconsistent speech volumes.

“People with Parkinson’s disease lose dopamine, a chemical released by neurons to send signals to other nerve cells, which helps them communicate with all parts of the body,” said Deena Petersen, director for the Stanley Center for Speech and Language Disorders at SFA. “Through this program, we teach people how to be intentional in their speech. This helps bypass the part of the brain that requires dopamine.”

After completing the Speak out! phase, participants will progress to the Loud Crowd portion, where they will engage in a group therapy setting once a week for maintenance.

The Stanley Center for Speech and Language Disorders doubles as a community clinic and learning facility for SFA students to hone their skills in a supervised setting. Graduate students will be conducting the therapy supervised by licensed speech-language pathologists for both parts of the program.

“There are limited services in the area for those with Parkinson’s disease, and we feel offering these two programs will provide an opportunity to enhance the communication skills of this population and bring more adults into the clinic,” Petersen said.

For more information, contact the center at (936) 468-7109.
