Preservation Month and 2nd Story Tours Slated for May
Citizens in Nacogdoches will join thousands of individuals around the country as part of a nationwide celebration of 2016 National Preservation Month in May 2016. “This Place Matters” is the theme of the month-long celebration, which is sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Since the National Trust created Preservation Week in 1971 to spotlight grassroots preservation efforts in America, it has grown into an annual celebration observed by small towns and big cities with events ranging from architectural and historic tours and award ceremonies, to fundraising events, educational programs and heritage travel opportunities. Due to its overwhelming popularity, the National Trust has extended the celebration to the entire month of May and declared it Preservation Month to provide an even longer opportunity to celebrate the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s cities and states and enable more Americans to become involved in the growing preservation movement.
The City of Nacogdoches Main Street Program is excited to announce tickets are on
sale now for our preservation event, 2nd Story Tours: Discovering Downtown, set for Saturday, May 7th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in historic downtown Nacogdoches.
“Preservation has played such an important role in the redevelopment of downtown that we try to do something special to honor it each year,” said Communications/Main Street Director Amy Mehaffey.
This year’s 2nd Story Tour has four properties lined up for ticket holders to tour: Fredonia Hotel, The Old Tobacco Warehouse, an upcoming downtown project showcase with Laura Culpepper, and renovated 2nd story apartments at 203 E. Main & 105 N. Pecan. Tickets are $25 and are available now at the Visitor’s Center, located at 200 E. Main Street and online at https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=24573235208. All proceeds go back to the beautification of historic downtown Nacogdoches.
Many local businesses will also be offering shopping promotions this day as part of Sale on the Trail — in conjunction with the El Camino Real Trail.
“This is a great opportunity to spend the day downtown shopping and touring properties, the general public rarely gets to see,” said Mehaffey. For more questions on 2nd Story Tours or historic downtown Naocgdoches contact the Main Street Office at 936-559-2573 or mehaffeya@ci.nacogdoches.tx.us.

SFA Regent Nelda Luce Blair speaks at second WiSTEM Luncheon and Style Show
Stephen F. Austin State University Regent Nelda Luce Blair, an attorney and president and owner of The Blair Law Firm in The Woodlands, recently spoke at the second annual Women in STEM Luncheon and Style Show. Blair related stories from the beginning of her own career in a male-dominated field to the current lack of female participation among STEM disciplines.
SFA Regent Nelda Luce Blair — an attorney and president and owner of the Blair Law Firm in The Woodlands — presented to the audience three guiding principles she said comprise some of women’s “Super Natural” traits.
“We have a whole bunch of those super natural traits, but we are only going to talk about three today,” Blair said, “Optimism, which is very natural to us; encouragement, which we do as an inborn trait; and ‘seriously?’ I will explain that one later.”
Blair related personal struggles she encountered as a female lawyer that mirror issues facing women in STEM disciplines, especially the underrepresentation of females in STEM professions. According to Change the Equation — an organization working to ensure all students are STEM literate through collaboration with schools, communities and states — female STEM students are 6 percent more likely to change their major. Also, only 30 percent of elementary school teachers feel well prepared to encourage girls to participate in science.
“Motivation is the heart of encouragement, because if you give people a motive to do something, that’s encouraging them,” Blair said. “I bring in women and young girls during the summer and have them work in my law office because it helps them realize they can do anything they want to, just like women pursuing STEM fields.”
After detailing personal stories and urging women to “seriously, not to take yourselves or others too seriously,” Blair joined a dozen other professional women and female STEM students on the runway to model clothing designs ranging from business to formal wear. Fashions were provided by the Town House, a Nacogdoches boutique.

Get the best students for your business: tips for hiring SFA student leaders
Contact: Kelly Daniel 936-560-5533
Membership & Marketing Manager
Tips for hiring SFA student leaders explained at chamber meeting
The Nacogdoches County Chamber Fourth Friday Luncheon is noon to 1 p.m., Friday, April 22 at Austin Hall, 4603 North St. with guest speaker Dr. Adam Peck, Assistant Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs, SFASU.
Peck will share a simple trick for hiring the best: hire student leaders. Attendees will learn how SFA can assist employers in connecting with the very best students.
“Today’s employers demand students with not only the technical expertise to excel in their first jobs, but with the interpersonal qualities that can be so hard to teach. These are often referred to as ‘soft skills’” Peck said. “They include such qualities as the ability to communicate, function as a member of a team and solve problems independently. Research conducted at SFA shows that student leaders tend to develop these skills more fully than their peers who are not involved.”
Peck has served as Assistant Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs at Stephen F. Austin State University since 2008 and has been a student affairs practitioner for more than 20 years. He currently serves as President for the Texas Association of College Personnel Administrators (TACUSPA) and as State Director for Texas of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA). He has previously served as Chair of the Texas Deans of Students Association. His book, “Project CEO: Demonstrating the Impact of Co-curricular Experiences on the Skills Employers Demand” is being published by NASPA Press and will come out in early 2017. He is the author of more than twenty scholarly articles, five book chapters and has presented more than seventy-five national and international webinars.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Lewis University, a Master of Arts in Speech Communication from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Administration from The University of Texas at Austin.
Attendee RSVPs are required by noon, Wednesday, April 20, and lunch is $16. Find the secure “pay online” option in Hot News at nacogdoches.org or all (936) 560-5533. All attending may enter the $50 drawing, sponsored by Commercial Bank of Texas. All Chamber members are entered in a $50 drawing, sponsored by Axley & Rode, but you must be present to win.
