This Monday night, September 29th at
6 PM, the “Meet the School Board Candidate
Forum” is the only announced opportunity
for Central voters to hear from candidates in a
public forum before the November 4th election.
The free event is sponsored by the Republican
Women of Central and is open to the public.
The event will be at the new Central
Middle School cafeteria starting with a 5:30
“meet and greet” for voters to ask questions of the
candidates one on one. At 6 PM each candidate
will have equal time for introductory statements.
They will then have an opportunity to address
the crowd and make their case for election to
Central’s School Board and expressing their
vision for the Central School System.
Three of Central’s School Board seats
peak
are on the ballot: Willard Easley faces Phillip
Ziegler in District 4, Nick Carmena faces Ruby
Foil in District 6, and Felicia Braud and Sharon
Browning vie for the District 7 seat.
The format will offer voters a chance
to meet candidates prior to their introduction,
learn more about their professional and personal
background and their reasons why voters should
“hire” them with their votes. After the forum,
everyone is encouraged to ask questions of the
candidates individually, take yard signs, push
cards and sign up to volunteer on the various
campaigns.
Voter registration for students and citizens
17 years of age and older will be available at
the forum. For students who are registering to
vote before their 18th birthday, their registration
onday at
will be valid if the application is completed
correctly. This will give young voters turning
18 the opportunity to vote in the November 4th
election. Change of political party affiliation
will also be available.
Candidates are encouraged to contact
RWC President Betsy Barnes to accept this
open invitation for all those running in Central
area elections by email to RWCLA@yahoo.
com. Both RWC and Central Republican
Coalition memberships are open to all registered
Republicans, and new members can join at
the forums. For more information on RWC

THAT Made the Front Page?
Speaking with a friend who
lives in Baton Rouge and rarely
comes to Central, I mentioned that
tonight’s “Movie in the Park” was
on the front page of the paper last
week. I could see him mentally
reviewing recent front pages he had
seen in Baton Rouge. Then he said
“THAT made the front page?!?” I
responded “Of course….this is
Central.”
We at Central Speaks, with
help from Armand Services and
Rebel Electric, are not only pleased
to be sponsoring tonight’s free
double feature, but we are even
happier that fun family events are
important to the people of Central.
Yes, THAT made the front page!
Looking back over our
previous 231 front pages, and
looking forward to the next few
months, I am even more proud to
live in Central. The past month has

Sound at
Wildcat
Stadium
seen the citizens of Central who are
passionate about history and the arts
band together to begin the process
of saving the 1927 Auditorium for
use as a Cultural Center. THAT
made the front page!
Friday night is homecoming
and football at both of Central’s
high schools. All fall I am never
surprised to see coverage, scores and
photos from CHS and CP football.
Yes, THAT makes the front page!
The annual “Pumpkin Patch”
event at Blackwater Methodist is
coming next month. It attracts
hundreds of school children in
busses and families with their little
ones, hearing stories, taking hay
rides, and picking out their special
pumpkin for the holiday. And yes,
most likely, THAT will make the
front page.
Do I believe all is a bed of
roses in Central? No, not really,
but that will not stop me from
looking for excuses to celebrate all
of the good things going on here
in Central. For well over 4 years,
and now 232 front pages, Central
Speaks has almost always been able
to find things in Central to celebrate,
making people not from here ask
the question, “THAT made the front
page?” Yes it did, and that is Good
News for a Great City.

Central Chamber of Commerce C4 Report
Five Years!
Next week marks an
important “milestone” for me! In
October 2009, the then Board of
Directors gave me the opportunity
to serve a three month trial period
as the Central Chamber’s President
and CEO. Two months later they
made the decision to hire me and the
rest, as they would say, “is history!”
While many things remain
the same, the Central Chamber has
seen tremendous changes in the last
5 years. Here is a brief list:
*Membership, as of the writing of
this article, is at 360.
*The Chamber has an interactive
and informative website.
*“Shop Small Business Saturday,”
which encourages “Shop Central
First” throughout the Holiday
season, continues to grow and is a
yearly event.
*Membership Development, Public
Policy, Educational Workforce, and
Business Relations Committees
have all been started.
*Several affinity programs are
available to our members.
*The second City of Central Map
has been produced.
*We now network with The U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, Louisiana
Association of Business and
Industry, American Chamber of
Commerce Executives, Louisiana
Association of Chamber of
Commerce
Executives
and
several other local area chambers,
civic groups, and governmental
organizations.
*A Beauty Pageant, which this year
is now part of the Miss America
System, is in its fourth year.
*An Ambassador program is now
in place helping to improve contact
with our members.
*Training Seminars are taking place
on a regular basis.
*The Central Chamber now has a
permanent home at 12416 Hooper
Road!
These are just a few of the
many exciting developments that
have taken place over the last five
years. I want to thank the Board of
Directors and our investors for being
willing to work with the staff and
myself over the last five years. We
all can look forward to the future,
knowing that the Central Chamber
will continue to grow, improve and
promote the business interests of
our community!

President and CEO, Central

CAPA Corner: What Can YOU Pumpkin Patch Coming Soon
Once
again,
Do for the City of Central?
Blackwater
United
If you are reading this article, I
believe you probably love the city
of Central. If you are like me, you
enjoy the rural setting of Central.
Central is a “get away” from the
rest of Baton Rouge, yet we have
many amenities in our wonderful
city. But, of course, the best
thing about Central is the people.
The people of a community make
each community unique, and we
are blessed with many caring and
sharing people.
Central is a great place to
live. So, what can we do to make
it even better? What can YOU
do to make Central even better?
You don’t have to be an elected
official or serve in some sort of
leadership position to help make
Central even better. All you have
to do is do what the psalmist calls
the Israelites to do in Psalm 122:
pray for the city. Pray for its
peace, security, unity, religious
freedom, welfare, growth, health,
and prosperity. Pray that the city
of Central will be a light for all
those around us, so that all that
we do in every area of this city’s
life brings glory to the LORD.
Let us keep the LORD’S glory
as our focus and the entire city
will reap the benefits of pleasing
Him. You can pray in these ways
for Central anytime, anywhere.
Also, pray in these ways for the
people of Central – for its leaders,
schools, businesses, churches,
and families.
Let’s use Psalm 122: 6-9 as the
model prayer for our city and its
welfare: “Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem! ‘May they be secure
who love you! Peace be within
your walls and security within
your towers!’ For my brothers
and companions’ sake I will say,
‘Peace be within you!’ For the
sake of the house of the LORD
our God, I will seek your good.”
(ESV) Take time, even right
now, to pray this prayer for our
city. Cut out this article and pray
it often as you read your Bible.
Mark this passage in your Bible
and pray for Central. This is what
we ALL can do to make Central
an even better place to live – a
place that loves the LORD and
desires to see Him glorified in
every area of our lives and in
every area of our city’s life.
Don Hulsey,
Pastor, Grace Presbyterian
Church
Methodist Church will
be holding its annual
“Pumpkin Patch,” selling
pumpkins
every
day
October 6-30 to raise money for local and global missions. Bring
the kids to see literally THOUSANDS of pumpkins! Blackwater will
be holding Saturday Fun Days with a bouncy house, hayrides, and
games. Tickets are 4 for $1.00 or 10 for $2.00. New this year is
the “Touch a Truck” Saturday on October 18 from 10-2, where in
addition to the usual Saturday fun events, kids of all ages will be able
to explore and climb on their favorite things on wheels and KLOVE
Radio will be there providing great music. Admission to this event is
$5.00 per person r $20.00 per family.
Saturday, October 25 will be the Annual Craft Show from 8-4
and Car Show from 10-2. Applications for these events and further
information can be found at www.blackwaterumc.org, or by calling
the church office at 225-261-4646. Hours for the pumpkin patch are
Monday-Friday 10-7, Saturday 10-5, and Sunday 1-5.
The Blackwater “Trunk or Treat” event will be held on Sunday,
10/26, from 5:00-6:30. Please wear non-scary costumes and enjoy
trick or treating out of cars and lots of games!
No appointment necessary.
Our experienced medical staff,
great service, and trusted tradition
will help you and your loved ones
get better faster.

Ochsner Baton Rouge Gives Tips on How to Incorporate
More Fruits and Veggies into your Diet
Submitted by Ochsner Medical Center
September is Fruits & Veggies –
More Matters Month, and it’s a good time
to stop and ask, are you getting enough
fruits and vegetables in your diet?
Sure, an apple a day can keep the
doctor away. But did you know that eating
at least 1½ cups of fruit and two cups of
vegetables daily can also reduce your
risk for cancer, heart disease, and stroke?
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines
for Americans, consuming 1½ to 2 cups
of fruits and 2 to 4 cups of vegetables
is optimal. The amount depends on the
number of calories per day recommended
for your healthy weight.
Start
boosting
your
daily
consumption of fruits and vegetables with
a few easy eating tips from the Produce
for Better Health Foundation and Philip
Saigeon, clinical dietitian, Ochsner Baton
Rouge.
Anytime:
• Put fruit and vegetables at the top of your
shopping list.
• Buy many kinds of fruits and vegetables
when you shop, so you have plenty of
choices and you don't run out. Buy fresh,
frozen, dried, and canned.
• After shopping, use soft fruits and
vegetables, such as bananas, peaches, and
tomatoes first, because they go bad easily.
Save hardier varieties, such as apples and
acorn squash, or frozen and canned products
for later in the week.
• Increase portions when you serve
vegetables and fruits.
• Keep a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table
or counter.
• Keep packs of applesauce, raisins, or other
dried fruit in your car or office.
• Create portioned out “grab and go”
bags of vegetables on the top shelf of the
refrigerator for quick lunch bag fillers
• Don't smother vegetables or fruits in highcalorie, high-fat sauces, or glazes.
• Avoid overcooking or boiling vegetables
because this may reduce their nutrient
content. Certain nutrients end up in the
cooking water, which is usually discarded.
Breakfast:
• Start your day by making a vegetable or
fruit smoothie with added protein powder.
• Eating fruit in the morning can be your
nutrition ignition key to stimulating your
metabolism.
• Add chopped fruit to your breakfast cereal.
Try sliced bananas, apples, or dried fruit,
such as raisins or apricots.
• Top toast with mashed strawberries or
bananas.
• Add sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms,
and asparagus to an omelet.
Lunch:
• Put at least one salad vegetable in your
sandwich. Try tomato, lettuce, cucumber,
grated carrots, or avocado.
• Consider using lettuce wraps for
sandwiches in place of breads or tortillas.
• Eat a piece of fruit for dessert. When fresh
fruits aren't in season, choose canned fruit
packed in juice or consider frozen fruit that
will have a longer shelf life.
• Spoon some fresh salsa over a ham or
chicken sandwich before adding the top
slice of bread.
• Choose vegetable toppings for pizza.
• Add fruits and veggies to prepared salads.
For example, add grapes, raisins, or apple
slices to chicken salad; chopped onions,
green peppers, and carrots to tuna salad.
• Add berries or sliced bananas to plain lowfat yogurt for a sweet treat.
• Snack on raw veggies dipped in salsa.
Dinner:
• Have one or two vegetables besides
potatoes with your dinner. A simple way to
add vegetables is to buy frozen packaged
combinations of them: succotash or peas
and carrots, for instance.
• Become creative with spicing up entrees
with flavor, enhancing vegetables in place
of salted ingredients.
• Add vegetables to soups, sauces, and
casseroles. For example, grate carrot and
zucchini into spaghetti sauce.
• Add onions, green peppers, and diced
tomatoes to a bean burrito or quesadilla.
• Top fat-free ice cream, ice milk, or
sherbet with sliced bananas, strawberries,
raspberries, or blueberries.
“Eating more fruits and vegetables
will provide the body with more soluble
and insoluble fiber, promoting satiety and
improved intestinal health,” said Saigeon.
“Make eating fruits and vegetables fun –
plant your own vegetable, spice and herb
garden. This can also save you money!”

Fall Cleaning: Your
Medicine Cabinet
Ochsner Medical Center Press Release
With so many things to add
to your spring cleaning list, why not
make your medicine cabinet a priority
this fall? National Prescription Drug
Take-Back Day is September 27,
2014, and Ochsner Medical Center
– Baton Rouge will be participating
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.at Physician
Plaza 1 next door to the hospital.
Why is it important to
properly dispose of your unused or
expired medications? Medication can
harm someone it is not prescribed
for, including children and animals.
Disposing of old medications
reduces the risk of unintentional use,
overdose, and illegal abuse. Plus,
a wide range of prescription drugs
have been detected in lakes, streams,
rivers, and drinking water supplies
due to flushing them down the toilet.
“The best way to get rid of
unused or expired medications is
to take them to a medication dropoff location,” said Andy Boothe,
Director of Pharmacy, Ochsner Baton
Rouge. “People typically don’t look
through their medicine cabinet until
they need something, oftentimes to
realize the drug they are looking for
is expired and they need to get rid of
it. People may also need to dispose of
drugs of deceased family members.
This upcoming event provides people
with a safe, anonymous, easy way to
dispose of drugs, while preventing
potential misuse or harm from leaving
these drugs sitting in the cabinet.”
Once you have cleaned
expired or unused products out of your
medicine cabinet, be sure you have
needed supplies and medications.
Everyone takes a little spill here or
there or gets a cough or diarrhea and
then stumbles around the bathroom
trying to find bandages or cough
medicine or other medication. That’s
why you should have these medicine
cabinet essentials always on hand:
• Hydrogen peroxide for wounds
• Antibiotic ointment
• Adhesive bandages and sterile
gauze pads
• An oral thermometer
• Pain
reliever,
such
as
acetaminophen, for headaches
and/or other aches and pains
• Sunscreen
• Antidiarrhea medication
• Cough medicine
• Cold/flu medicine

Wildcats Struggle in Jesuit Loss

Last Friday’s game in New
Orleans proved to be a rough one for
the Central Wildcats. Central fought
hard, but they could not seem to turn
effort into scores in the 6-35 loss.
Jesuit kept a steady pace,
scoring one touchdown per quarter,
and two in the fourth. The Wildcats
responded in the fourth quarter with a
touchdown pass of their own.
Tyler Sansone was the starting
quarterback for Central, completing
8 of 11 passes for 53 yards and 1
interception. Sansone suffered a minor
shoulder injury during the game and
was replaced by Gabe Brown, who
completed 2 of 8 for 20 yards, including
a touchdown pass to Luke Snyder.
James Schopp (3 rec for 24
yds) and Terrell Chatman (4 rec for 21
yds) led the Wildcats in receiving. The
big rushers for Central were Xavier
Lewis (5 for 31 yds), Leo Brownfield
(5 for 30 yds), and Tyler Sansone (8 for
26 yds). Jearimiah Ward had Central’s
longest kickoff return at 22 yards.
Kevin Henry led the Wildcats
on defense with 5 tackles and 2 assists.
Hollingsworth, Davis, and Ward each
racked up 3 tackles of their own, with
Davis adding 3 assists and Ward getting
1 assist and 1 tackle for loss.

CHS Homecoming vs McKinley
The Wildcats will host the McKinley Panthers for the Central High
homecoming game this Friday at 7 PM. McKinley has shut out their last two
opponents, winning big against both Capitol and Opelousas. McKinley will be
looking to continue that streak, and Central will be looking for a win after their
tough loss to Jesuit. This will be the Wildcats’ last game before district play
starts next week.
Football game tickets can be bought in advance from the Central High
School front office or at the game. For anyone listening from home, the game
will be broadcast live, thanks in large part to headline sponsor Central Stat Care,
on 91.9 FM and on the TuneIn Radio app.

In Memoriam:
Joseph Pizzolato, Jr.
Joseph "Joey" Anthony
Pizzolato, Jr, 35, a native of north
Baton Rouge, resident of Central,
passed away on Sunday, September
21, 2014. He was a loving son,
brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and
friend. Joey Jr was an adrenaline
seeker, daredevil, and adventurist
who enjoyed being one with nature
and lived his life to the fullest. He
was an animal lover and through the
years had a variety of pets. Joey Jr
had a heart of gold and was known
as a very generous, caring soul who
extended himself to everyone. He
rarely met a person he couldn't
make laugh or smile with his huge
personality, infectious smile, and
beautiful blue eyes. He enjoyed
anything fast, especially ATVs and
motorcycles, spending time with his
two nephews, godsons Jake Wyble
and Brody Pizzolato, making people
laugh, being the life of any party,
and collecting as many animals for
pets as he could.
Joey Jr is survived by his
loving parents Joey Pizzolato, Sr.
and Siri Kilcrease Pizzolato; sister
Cassie Pizzolato; nephews Jake and
Max Wyble; grandmother Mary
Lee Pizzolato; longtime love and
best friend Aida Richey and many
relatives. He was preceded in death
by his grandfather Anthony "Tony"
Pizzolato, Sr.; grandfather Henry
Clayton Kilcrease; grandmother
Emily Lea Kilcrease; and Crystal
Candella. Pallbearers will be cousins
Blaine Pizzolato, Mikey Pizzolato,
Clay Kilcrease; uncle Brad Burkett;
and longtime friends Don Tate and
Jason Wyble.
