Part Two discusses walkability and sidewalk needs throughout our community
The City of Nacogdoches invites all residents to a face-to-face discussion about sidewalks in our community. The discussion will be held at Nacogdoches High School in the Commons Area on July 12, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
This is part two of the multi-part discussion series to be held over a course of months in order to gain feedback about issues involving the City of Nacogdoches and its improvement efforts. Residents are invited to share ideas to help shape the future of our community in regards to connectivity, walkability, and sidewalks. After group discussion on the philosophy of sidewalks in our community, a group activity will be conducted to continue the sharing process.
“This is a topic the city has been asked to address by several citizens and we feel it’s important to have a broad discussion about sidewalks prior to enacting or writing any related ordnances, Larissa Philpot, Director of Municipal Services said. “This is the first of many steps to making our community more practical, walkable, and cohesive.”
The discussion event will address the following questions:
*Topic 1 – How should sidewalks be funded (public or private)?
*Topic 2 – Who should maintain sidewalks?
*Topic 3 – What is the economic impact of new sidewalk ordinances on private business owners, local government, and the community?
*Topic 4 – Where are sidewalks a priority in the community?
“Overall this discussion is important because we need to begin a two-way conversation that will allow city leaders and community members to understand what’s needed in Nacogdoches,” Steve Bartlett, City Engineer said. “There is a cost to sidewalks and wide-spread connectivity. This must be practically balanced with input from community members and creative strategies from all parties involved.
A second discussion series session regarding sidewalks will be held after this event in order to begin defining specific, ordinance-related verbiage for future proposed ordinances. This date will be announced after the July 12th event.

‘An Evening With Levie Isaacks’ planned for Friday
The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art and the Nacogdoches Film Festival will host “An Evening With Levie Isaacks, A.S.C.” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, July 8, in The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House in downtown Nacogdoches.
Isaacks, a visiting cinematographer who has been working with the School of Art’s summer feature film project “Sins of the Fathers,” has worked on location and in Hollywood, California, as a cinematographer and director of photography for more than 30 years. Isaacks has also served as a panelist at the Nacogdoches Film Festival.
Friday’s event will include a showing of Isaacks’ “The Little Rascals Save the Day.” The screening gets underway at 7 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session with Isaacks. Popcorn and other refreshments will be served.
“The Little Rascals Save The Day” is a nostalgic look at the popular classic comedy series developed in the 1930s and ’40s, Isaacks said.
“The series has a timeless way of entertaining audiences over multiple generations, and few have never heard of the ‘Little Rascals’ or “Our Gang,'” he said. “The stories are generally about the poor kids in the neighborhood who pick on the rich kids. It is notable that it took on a racial mixture when that was unpopular in most venues.”
Many of the scenes in “The Little Rascals Save The Day” are reprises from early episodes, Isaacks explained.
“Having grown up with the ‘Little Rascals’ and ‘Our Gang,’ I felt very privileged to be chosen to be the cinematographer of this full-length feature installment of the series,” he said. “So join the Rascals as they find trouble around every corner.”
Born in Houston of deaf parents, Isaacks used sign language to say his first words. He served in the U.S. Army as a commissioned officer and as a platoon leader in Vietnam and was decorated with a Bronze Star for heroism and an Army commendation for valor.
His cinema life began while working part-time at a local television station in Austin while attending the University of Texas. There, he was handed a newsreel camera, and his love affair with film and telling stories began, according to information at http://hollywooddp.com/bio.htm
After graduation, he continued to work in broadcast journalism and later in commercials and documentary films in his home state of Texas. There, he was also able to garner experience as a camera operator on films shooting on location in Texas.
When the time came to move to Los Angeles to try his hand at being a director of photography of movies and television, he got his first feature film at Roger Corman’s Concord studios in Venice, California. From that time until now, he has practiced his craft on independent films and television, the website said.
Isaacks was nominated for a “Cable ACE” award for an episode of “Tales From The Crypt,” and his TV credits include “Dawson’s Creek” and “Malcolm In The Middle,” which won a Peabody award. His feature credits include movies for MGM, Universal and Paramount studios.
For more information about this event, call The Cole Art Center at (936) 468-1131.
