Stormy weather
and politics
It was refreshing to see meteorologists apologize for their dire -and wrong -- predictions of an
unprecedented snow storm that
they had said would devastate the
northeast. It was a big storm, but
the northeast has seen lots of big
snow storms before and will probably see lots of big snow storms
again. That’s called winter.
Unfortunately, we are not likely
to hear any similar apologies from
those who have been promoting
“global warming” hysteria for
years, in defiance of data that fail
to fit their climate models. What is
at issue is not whether there is
“climate change” -- which nobody
has ever denied -- but whether the
specific predictions of the “global
warming” crowd as to the direction and magnitude of worldwide
temperature changes are holding
up over the years.
The ultimate test of any theoretical model is not how loudly it
is proclaimed but how well it fits
the facts. Climate models that
have an unimpressive record of
fitting the facts of the past or the
present are hardly a reason for us
to rely on them for the future.
Putting together a successful
model -- of anything -- is a lot
more complicated than identifying
which factors affect which outcomes. When many factors are
involved, which is common, the
challenge is to determine precisely
how those factors interact with
each other. That is a lot easier
said than done when it comes to
climate.
Everyone can agree, for example, that the heat of the sunlight is
greater in the tropics than in the
temperate zones or near the poles.
But, the highest temperatures
ever recorded in Asia, Africa, North
America or South America were all
recorded outside -- repeat,
OUTSIDE -- the tropics.
No part of Europe is in the tropics, but record temperatures in
European cities like Athens and
Seville have been higher than the
highest temperatures ever recorded in cities virtually right on the
equator, such as Singapore in
Asia or Nairobi in Africa.
None of this disproves the scientific fact that sunlight is hotter
in the tropics. But it does indicate
that there are other factors which
go into temperatures on earth.
It is not only the heat of the
sunlight, but its duration, that
determines how much heat builds
up. The sun shines on the equator
about 12 hours a day all year
long. But, in the temperate zones,
the sun shines more hours during
the summer -- almost 15 hours a
day at the latitude of Seville or
Athens.
It is also not just a question of
how much sunlight there is falling
on the planet but also a question
of how much of that sunlight is
blocked by clouds and reflected
back out into space. At any given
time, about half the earth is
shielded by clouds, but cloudiness
varies greatly from place to place
and from time to time.
The Mediterranean region is
famous for its cloudless summer
days. The annual hours of sunlight in Athens is nearly double
that in London -- and in Alexandria,
Egypt, there are more than twice
as many annual hours of sunlight
as in London.
How surprised should we be
that
cities
around
the
Mediterranean -- Alexandria,
Seville, and Tripoli -- have had
temperatures of 110 degrees or
more, while many tropical cities
have not? Clouds and rain are
common in the tropics.

Quiet noise
You don’t always have to be
loud to make a lot of noise.
Last week, the Louisiana
Association of Business and
Industry (LABI) kicked off our
40th Anniversary with our 2015
annual meeting in Baton Rouge.
Joining us to focus on our meeting’s theme of “Sustainable
Growth in a Global Economy”
were over 1,000 Louisiana business and political leaders.
In the morning, our panel of
experts included Calvin “Cal”
Dooley, president of the American
Chemistry Council (ACC); Ross
Eisenberg, vice president of
Energy and Resources Policy for
the National Association of
Manufacturers
(NAM)
and
Stephen Moret, secretary of
Louisiana Economic Development
Department (LED). All effectively
broke down the critical federal
and state issues that impact
Louisiana’s economic growth
potential. This wide-ranging discussion was informative and
quite relevant, considering the
chemical and manufacturing
boom taking hold here in
Louisiana.
The demeanor of Cal Dooley
was quite interesting. As president of one of the largest trade
associations in the country, Cal
is a strategic and substantive
speaker who is highly regarded
in Washington, D.C. and revered
for his ability to effectively represent the chemical industry. Prior
to taking over ACC, he was a
Democratic Congressman in the
90s and early 2000s, and was
well known in those days for his
down-home, folksy leadership
style.
He was part of a group known
then as the “Blue Dogs,” a collection of moderate Democrats
who would often side with
Republicans to support conservative policies in Congress. The
group was not usually loud and
boisterous, but would often provide the critical final votes to
advance much of the agenda
passed by the Republicancontrolled Congress of that time.
These days, most of those members have been replaced with
much more ideological policymakers, leaving the quiet but
influential role of the Blue Dogs
much less impactful in today’s
Congress.
Next, after our panel of experts
wrapped up their discussion, Dr.
Ben Carson spoke to our crowd.
If you have not yet heard Dr.
Carson’s personal story, it is one
worth knowing. Growing up poor
to a single mom in inner-city
Detroit, Dr. Carson fought
through trouble and adversity to
excel at Yale and then the
University of Michigan Medical
School on his way to becoming
director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical
Institution at age 33. From there,
he led the team that first successfully separated twins conjoined at the head.
Upon his retirement from
medicine, he made national
headlines a few years ago for giving a strong speech critical of
Obamacare, while standing next
to the President at the National
By
Steven
Waguespack
President
Louisiana
Association of
Business and Industry
Prayer Breakfast. Dr. Carson is a
smart and compelling figure,
especially for the paradox in that
he is known for being both soft
spoken and bold, and at times
even politically incorrect. His
voice is soft and his mannerisms
are gentle, even though when
asked his position on political
correctness his response was,
“It’s a bunch of crap.”
In addition to taking a tough
line on many of the issues of the
day, he also speaks openly to the
importance faith has played in
his life. He says one of the most
important things we can do is
“bring God back into our society”
and credits God, rather than
bureaucratic assistance, for giving his mother the strength and
wisdom she needed to raise her
two children as a single mom.
Speaking of a bold and softspoken speaker embracing his
faith, one of the strongest and
most inspiring voices I have ever
heard passed away quietly this
week. The Reverend Than N. Vu
passed away at the age of 56
after a long battle with cancer.
Father Than was born in Saigon,
Vietnam, and eventually made
his way to Baton Rouge in 1975.
By the early 80s, he was ordained
and went on to preach throughout the Capital Region his entire
career.
He was a devout man of faith
who opened every sermon with a
joke and preached in a way that
spoke to adults and children
alike. He took a light-hearted
approach to deliver inspiring
messages to many serious subjects through the years. His powerful messages would capture
the hearts of his congregation
while his quick wit would make
them all smile. A small man in
stature with a quiet tone, his
impact will leave a lasting legacy.
Father Than’s mission statement ends with the following
message: “I will approach life
with a spirit of openness, speaking less and listening more, taking the risk of being changed by
new paradigms. In all ways, I
strive to live with honesty, integrity, simplicity and humility.”
More than just words on a paper,
this was how he lived his life.
Different leaders use different
tactics to make their presence
felt. Some leaders loudly bark to
make a lot of noise to draw
attention to their message, while
others rely on a folksy charm,
gentle tone, endearing story or
quick wit to make their point.
Regardless of the method
used, never forget that those
who employ a more subtle
approach to message delivery
are more than capable of delivering a loud message and a booming impact.
‘Brown-out’ order
applies to W.C.,
utility head says
H.J. Long, manager of the local
public utility that furnishes Oak
Grove with its electricity, reminds
citizens of the town that WPB’s
“brownout” order--prohibiting certain types of electric lighting as one
phase of the program to alleviate
the critical fuel shortage--has been
in effect since last Thursday, and
is applicable in Oak Grove and
other parts of the parish.
The new restriction, according
to Mr. Long, practically eliminates
the use of electricity for outdoor
advertising, ornamental and display lighting.
Canning sugar quota
slashed; 20 pounds
per person granted
The OPA pulled the draw string
on the sugar sack even tighter
Wednesday with a cut in allotments for home canning.
For the 1945 canning season
housewives will be able to obtain a
maximum of 20 pounds for each
member of the family up to eight
instead of last year’s 25 pounds
with no limit on the number receiving an allowance.

London--Both the Paris and

The order presumably was

Join Arbor group,
get free trees for
spring planting
Joining the Arbor Day Foundation is an ideal
way to get in the mood for spring planting.
Anyone from Louisiana who joins the Foundation
in February 2015 will receive 10 free Eastern
redbud trees to plant when the weather turns
warm.
The free trees are part of the nonprofit
Foundation’s Trees for America campaign.
“Redbuds will help beautify Louisiana for
many years to come,” said Matt Harris, chief
executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “They
will also add to the proud heritage of Louisiana’s
existing Tree City USA communities.”
The Tree City USA program has supported
community forestry throughout the country for
more than 35 years.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right
time for planting, between March 1 and May 31,
with enclosed planting instructions. The 6- to
12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will
be replaced free of charge.
Members also receive a subscription to the
Foundation’s colorful bimonthly publication,
Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, which contains
information about planting and care.
To become a member of the Foundation and
receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to
TEN FREE EASTERN REDBUD TREES, Arbor
Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska
City, NE 68410, by February 28, 2015, or visit

The Voice of Democracy program was established in
1947. Each year, nearly 40,000 students from across the
country enter to win a share of the $2.2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the
VFW’s Voice of Democracy audio essay competition.
Hanna’s essay is now one of fifty to be judged on the
National level.
She has received raving comments from local VFW
members, Louisiana Hunters for Heroes. Comments
include “It only one page packed with real thought. A must
read.” “Yes it is a very good true read.” “this girl is right
on track”.
Our Louisiana State Commander Mitchell Cota sent her
a personal e-mail stating “Her message was presented from
a non-veterans point of view, a point of view of what if,
and a point of view most veterans do not even realize or
think of, the what if.”
Hannah was sponsored by the VFW Post 3977 in Oak
Grove. Her winning essay was printed in the January 14th
issue of the Gazette.
Lets all wish her will on the National Level.

Parish native honored
Special to the Gazette by:
Adam T. Holland
MONROE --- West Carroll Parish had
much to be proud of Saturday, January
24, 2015 as its legendary native son,
Coach Mike Vining’s name and the number 402 was permanently hung from the
rafters of Fant-Ewing Coliseum on the
campus of Louisiana-Monroe where he
coached the then Indians to 402 victories
earning the Coliseum the moniker “The
Beast of Northeast” during a halftime
ceremony of the now Warhawks 57-53
loss to Georgia Southern University.
“Emotional is not the word for it,”
Coach Vining said. “That’s why I cut my
speech short. This honor isn’t mine alone
it belongs to all the players, coaches,
trainers and the staff of the athletic
department who I worked with over the
years that made this happen.”
In the usual humorous Mike Vining
way when he addressed the crowd of
over 3,000 Indian/Warhawk faithful he
opened his speech. “Mona Martin (the
women’s basketball coach for most of his
tenure) told me when I walked out here
she was gonna stand-up and leave, when
y’all all stood up I thought y’all were following her out.”
Vining’s 402 wins makes him the
winningest coach in the program’s history along with one of the most rememberable as his 24 year tenure brought with it
most of the highlights of the programs
history. Under Vining the Tribe made six
appearances in the NCAA Tournament,
14 Southland Conference Championships
and earned one invitation to the NIT.
Seven of his players earned Player of
the Year honors, to go along with five
Newcomer of the Year selections, he had
16 that scored over 1,000 points in their
career a with Wojciech Myrda who set
the NCAA all time record for career
block shots in from of 7,000 people at
Ewing Coliseum in 2002 which was witnessed by this reporter from press row.
“Being an Indian fan since birth
Coach Vining was the only coach I knew,
and his West Carroll roots caused he and
I to immediately hit it off when I got my
dream job of being part of Indian
Athletics.” Oak Grove Mayor Adam
Holland said. “Coach was not like many
coaches that I know who only care for
their players while they were getting
them wins he was a mentor and was
always himself, that hometown caring

TECHNICIAN
Newspaper
West Carroll’s Mike Vining
now hangs in ULM rafters
Advertising
personality is what endured him to the
fans and players, along with garnering
him the success he achieved while at the
helm of the Tribe.”
Present ULM Coach Keith Richard,
who also played and coached under
Vining shared the same sentiments to the
Monroe News Star in a recent article.
“He didn’t try to be anybody else but
Mike Vining and that’s the way he
coached. He didn’t care how Dean Smith
did it or so and so … this is the way he
coached. He was true to himself. That
was something valuable I learned early
on as an assistant.” Richard said. “I must
have heard it a million times as a player
and an assistant coach, he talked to his
team about playing hard and playing
together. I find myself saying those same
two lines over and over.”
None of this success would have been
possible without a strong base and that
base was developed right here in West
Carroll Parish at Forest High School
where Coach Vining began his basketball
career playing for the Forest Bulldogs
and then first year Coach John Mercer.
After high school Vining went on to
play basketball at the then Northeast
Louisiana State College under legendary
coach Lenny Fant and was the starting
pitcher on Coach Woody Boyles Indian
Baseball Team where he helped lead the
Tribe to two Gulf States Conference
Championships in 1964 and 1966.
After graduating with a Bachelors in
Health and Physical Education he served
two years as an Army Officer in Vietnam
before returning to Northeast Louisiana
as the head coach of the Bastrop Rams
where he compiled a 175-47 record with
one State Championship in his seven
years at the helm.
Coach Vining returned to the bayou
in 1978 where he spent one year as an
assistant to Fant and two as an Assistant
to Coach Benny Hollis before becoming
the “Indian in Chief” in 1981.
He announced his retirement at the
conclusion of the 2005 basketball season
with his final record standing at 402302.
Since then Vining has been voted into
the ULM Hall of Fame, Southland
Conference Hall of Fame, Louisiana
Sports Hall of fame and the LABC Hall
of Fame. He now serves as an Assistant
to former player Mayor Jamie Mayo at
the City of Monroe.

Sowell_____________________From Page 4
Putting clouds into climate
models is not simple, because the
more the temperature rises, the
more water evaporates, creating
more clouds that reflect more
sunlight back out into space.
Such facts are well known, but
reducing them to a specific and
reliable formula that will predict
global temperatures is something
else.
Meteorology has many facts
and many scientific principles
American cities like Phoenix
and Las Vegas often hit summer
temperatures of 110 degrees or
more, because they are located
where there are not nearly as
many clouds during the summer
as are common in most other
places, including most places in
the tropics. The highest temperatures on earth have been reached
in Death Valley, California, for the
same reason, even though it is
not in the tropics.

but, at this stage of its development, weather forecasts just a
week ahead are still iffy. Why
then should we let ourselves be
stampeded into crippling the
American economy with unending restrictions created by bureaucrats who pay no price for being
wrong?
Certainly neither China nor
India will do that, and the amount
of greenhouse gasses they put
into the air will overwhelm any
reductions we might achieve, even
with draconian restrictions at
astronomical costs.
