CENTRAL SPEAKS 2013 hIGH sCHOOL Football Special August 29, 2013 • Daily News at CentralSpeaks.com Wildcat Football to Air On Tiger 100.7 Gordy Rush of Guaranty Broadcasting interviews LSU head coach Les Miles CHS Football Is Back! Friday at 7:30 the Central Wildcats will line up against the Baker Buffaloes in a pre-season Jamboree game. At 5:30 Denham Springs plays West Feliciana followed by Zachary vs East Feliciana at 6:30. Start times are approximate for the 6:30 and 7:30 games so come to Wildcat Stadium early and don't miss a down. Central is riding a five year streak of District Championships and will be looking to use this shortened jamboree game as a tuneup to be prepared for Istrouma. Central hosts the Indians here at Wildcat stadium at 7PM on September 6th. Remember, if you can't make it to the stadium this year, you can hear every CHS game on 100.7 FM The Tiger and on the 100.7 The Tiger App. Tommy Krysan on The Sid Edwards Show Tonight Central Radio goes live again former TV personality Phil Rainier from DeAngelos on 910AM at 5 PM Thursday. On the eve of CHS Football's Jamboree, Tommy Krysan will join Coach Sid and Dave Freneaux on the Sid Edwards Show. Then stay tuned at 6PM for Central Legends where will talk with Dave Freneaux and co-host Les Bueche about Phil's arrival in the Central community. Phil writes a column "Live Well" in Central Speaks and is the Marketing Director for Central Physical Therapy. Guaranty Broadcasting has moved Central High Wildcat Football to one of the most powerful FM broadcast signals in the country. 100.7 The Tiger will be home to Central’s Friday night broadcasts beginning next Friday when Central hosts Istrouma at 7PM. Guaranty’s Vice-President and Market Manager Gordy Rush of Central explained “Yesterday’s launch of the simulcast of ESPN on both 104.5 and 104.9 left Central High Football without a broadcast home. We felt obligated to honor our commitment to the program and now being a resident of Central, the natural fit was to put Central on 100.7 The Tiger because country connects well in Central, Zachary and Livingston Parish and that is a great match.” 100.7 the Tiger broadcasts on an FM signal that is the maximum strength allowed by the FCC. Rush noted that “Central now is one of the few high schools in America that is on a 100,000 watt station, and you will be able to hear Central Football from downtown New Orleans all the way to Crowley as well as anywhere in the world on the 100.7 The Tiger smartphone app.” He also explained the marketing behind the move. “We are going to put Central out there and we think it is a good lifestyle fit with country music and trying to connect with families, and especially the good values we have here in Central.” The simulcast of 104.5 and 104.9 began yesterday and Rush explained “We made the decision to simulcast 104.5 ESPN, whose city of license is Jackson, LA, which is Northwest of Baton Rouge on 104.9, which has been Country Legends which is located in Donaldsonville. Together these stations blanket Baton Rouge very well and reach from Natchez to Norco and Hammond to Morgan City. Guaranty broadcasts Catholic High Football on the new 104.5 ESPN simulcast and University High School on Talk 107.3 FM.” Gordy Rush, a former LSU Football player, and Guaranty Broadcasting are big supporters of High School Football. “We pride ourselves on being a local broadcaster. Connecting with local communites through their high school’s football team is a fantastic way to grow brand loyalty and I’m hopeful that all of the residents of Central take notice and make 100.7 the Tiger, #1 for New Country, as their favorite radio station! Chamber of the Year The City of Central Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that they were just selected as the “2013 Chamber of the Year”, in their category, by the Louisiana Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (LACCE). Chambers, from around the state, submitted applications to LACCE and were judged by an out of state panel in the following three areas: Community Development, Organizational Development and Professional Development. This prestigious award was presented to The City of Central Chamber of Commerce at the LACCE Fall Conference which was held in Minden, Louisiana August 21-23, 2013. Congratulations to The City of Central Chamber of Commerce’s Members, Board of Directors and Staff as they continue working to benefit their membership and the economic well-being of the City of Central. Come out and hear Tommie French sing and play great hits on the piano tonight at the Central Cultural Foundation’s Coffee Hour at Central Perk from 7-9 pm. It is a FREE event! Tommie will be entertaining the audience and sharing stories of some of the biggest names in the business. 2 CITY Fundamentally Central For me, Central High School Football is Fundamental, and apparently about three thousand of my friends and neighbors agree. Having missed very few games, home or away, in the last ten years, I see many of the same faces today that I did ten years ago, because CHS Football is a Fundamental part of their lives. For many of the Fundamental Faithful I know whether they miss a game because they usually sit in the same spot each week. Then, each year, you can add a group of committed parents, relatives, friends and neighbors of all of the new players on the team, the band, the flags, the kittens and the cheerleaders. These new fans come to Wildcat Stadium Fundamentally committed to supporting their student, but after four years many of these will be hooked and CHS Football will become a Fundamental part of their lives for years to come. Let me also say that I could also be writing this piece about Central Private, because I am certain that for every parent and fan at CP, Rebel Football is just as Fundamental. The Central community is fortunate to have a quality private school, and this reminds me that the Fundamental commitment to High School Football knows no school boundaries. What is so “Fundamentally Central” about these upcoming Friday nights? Teamwork, hard work, support, neighbors, family, values, good times, excitement, education, character, catching up, relaxing, friends…. I believe all of these things are Fundamentally Central. So come out tomorrow for the Jamboree starting at 5:30 with Central scheduled to play Baker at 7:30, and again next Friday at 7 when Central hosts Istrouma, and again every Friday night this fall, because High School Football is Fundamentally Central. Thursday, August 29, 2013 • CentralSpeaks.com Print Edition Bridge on Frenchtown Closed From the City of Central On Friday, August 23, after an inspection discovered a washout, the City-Parish closed the Beaver Bayou bridge on Frenchtown Rd as part of their off-system bridge maintenance agreement with DOTD. This was considered an emergency closure, and it is not the planned closure to replace the bridge. The bridge replacement will occur in 2014. City-Parish officials estimate that repairs can be made within 3 to 4 weeks. Detour route is Frenchtown Rd to Planchet Rd to Thibodeaux Rd to Morgan Rd. Timing adjustments were made to the signal at Greenwell Springs and Morgan Rd on Monday, August 26 to allow additional green time for Morgan Rd due to the detour traffic. Adjustments were also made to the signal at Central Thruway and Greenwell Springs Rd as well. The public is advised to please obey all speed limits on the detour route and drive safely.

Can there be light in the midst of darkness? Lawson Hebert's family knows. They've lived it. On June 6, 2012, Kyle and Mindy Hebert welcomed their first born son. Lawson Reed Hebert then spent the next 2 months in the NICU at Women's Hospital. Mindy's sister, Lisa Kirby, remembers getting a phone call on the 21st of June. A genetic specialist had called the entire family together for a consultation. "It was a horrible meeting," Lisa remembers, "We were told that Lawson had a rare genetic disorder called Zellweger Spectrum Syndrome. There was no cure, no treatment, only keeping Lawson comfortable through Hospice." Children with the most severe form of Zellweger Spectrum Syndrome have a life expectancy of less than a year. Lawson's family banded together to support Mindy and Kyle, who showed incredible courage and faith as they nurtured their gravely ill child. Mindy started a Facebook page, For the Love of Lawson, sharing her thoughts and prayers. Little Lawson, as sick as he was, was a fighter, and inspired them with his loving ways and determination. On the same day as the consultation, Lisa went home to get clothes for Mindy. She shares, "I remember fretting about being late to the hospital. We ended up being 5 minutes late, and the NICU entrance in the parking garage was locked. We had to walk around to the main entrance. On our way, someone called out my name. It was my cousin Nick Price, whom I hadn't seen in 15 years. Nick heard about Lawson's devastating prognosis, and offered comfort and support. He also explained that he was at Women's to see a friend who had just had a baby." Later that night, Lisa received a message on Facebook. Her cousin Nick had found her and contacted her. He shared that his friend had been going to give her baby up for adoption, but the adoption had fallen through and she was very distressed. What Nick didn't know was that Lisa and her husband Chris had been trying to have a baby for almost 11 years. They had finally decided to adopt a child from Ethiopia, but had recently been informed that the criteria had changed and they could no longer go that route. Chris saw Nick's message, and told Lisa she had to tell Nick about their situation. "I was so conflicted," Lisa confesses, "How could I be thinking about myself when my sister was going through such a terrible time? Mindy had always been so supportive and comforting, reaching out to me through all my hard times." Lisa consulted with her younger sister Tracy and her father, who both gave her encouragement. "My dad said, 'I'm not surprised. I prayed for you and Chris this morning, asking that a baby would just fall in your laps.'" With those words, Lisa wrote back to Nick and explained their situation. Nick responded in tears, "This is obviously not a coincidence." At 8:30 in the morning the next day, Nick called Lisa. "She wants to give you her baby." Later that day, Chris, Lisa, her parents and Tracy met with the birth mother and her father. The birth mother had such peace about Chris and Lisa, she handed her daughter to Lisa and said, "She's yours." Little Magnolia Anne was received into the family, bearing as her middle name her birth mother's. "Maggie's birth mother has been amazing," Lisa confides, "It's an open adoption, so she's been a part of all Maggie's milestones." Little Lawson went home to be with the Lord on January 26 of this year. On his first birthday, his family and friends gathered to release lanterns in his memory. The lit lanterns flew up to heaven as everyone celebrated his life. "It's been bittersweet," shares Lisa. "Something reminds us of him everywhere we go." She is amazed at the strength of Mindy and Kyle, who have become involved in support groups for families of those with Zellwegers, offering compassion to others as they walk down the same path. "They insisted on sharing Maggie's story at Lawson's funeral," Lisa says. She remembers a day, about a month and a half after Lawson was born. She was sitting in the NICU with Kyle, and he turned to her and said, "In the end, we'll probably still question God, but in the end, you'll have Maggie, and I'll never have to wonder why." Just yesterday, Maggie's adoption was finalized. In honor of her brave little cousin, Maggie was given the additional middle name of "Reed". She is now officially part of this remarkable family, and living proof that no matter what the situation, with love and grace, light can shine in any darkness. "- thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2 Mindy & Kyle release lanterns on Lawson’s 1st birthday CentralSpeaks.com Print Edition • Thursday, August 29, 2013 2013 FOOTBALL SPECIAL 5 2013 Football Special Featuring Central Private Rebels & Central High Wildcats CPS Photos by Selser Photography - CHS Photos by Expressions Photography Coach King Kicks Off First Season at CPS By Mia Freneaux Central Private School head football Coach Terry King is excited about the opportunities this season is offering. "I have the privilege of coaching some of the hardest working young men I've ever been around," shared Coach King, in his first year at CP. This is high praise; Coach King has been coaching football and baseball for 14 years. He is anticipating the positives a new coaching staff and new offense and defense schemes will bring to his young team. He also has high expectations of his players. "I'm looking to my seniors to provide leadership and guidance on the team. They're really stepping up to the challenge they want to be part of the solution. When they stay positive, they hand that to the other players." Coach King acknowledges the Rebels are facing a demanding schedule. "We're up against some pretty powerful teams, in District Centreville, Silliman, and Bowling Green will be tough. Nonconference is pretty demanding too." The Rebels' biggest challenge is one of numbers - they don't have a deep bench to substitute like other teams can do. "We're one injury away from having to substitute an inexperienced player," Coach explained. He then stated that his team has been working hard to address that challenge by having each member learn multiple positions. "Everyone has a job to fill. We're really emphasizing teamwork." His emphasis on the positive is already yielding good fruit; the Junior High team has more players involved than have been in years. They brought home their first victory in 5 years just last week! Coach King shared his joy about his opportunity at CP: "I love dealing with young men. I'm all about teaching them about life and a good work ethic and attitude. Winning, I've found, then takes care of itself. I'm a positive guy, and the players see that and see the reward." Coach invites the entire community to come out and give these hard working players our support this season! Wildcats Look Forward to Tough Season By Beth Fussell As the team and the fans are every year, Coach Sid Edwards and the Wildcats are excited going into football season. This year, Coach Sid acknowledges the challenges ahead. “We have a tough schedule this year. A lot’s been made of ‘5 in a row,’ but it’s getting more difficult.” When asked about their most challenging game, Edwards was hesitant to name one game over another. “We typically view our rival as Denham, but we can’t point to just one game. We’ve got a bull’s eye on our back. We are everybody’s ‘big game,’ so we can’t call one game our ‘big game’ or we will get ourselves in trouble.” About the Wildcat team, Coach Sid said that fans this season will see an improved defense. The team is still a work in progress offensively, but the Wildcats are working to put it all together by the time the regular season begins. Although he would not name any one team as Central’s biggest challenge, Edwards gives a nod to the game against Jesuit as what is likely to be the most interesting pre-season match-up. Jesuit will come to Central on Friday, September 20th, and the game is scheduled to be broadcast live on television. As an increasing number of high schools change over to turf football fields, Coach Sid acknowledges that Central is now in the minority with our grass field. He calls Wildcat Stadium “one of the most unique venues” around, but that is not just because of the stadium itself. The fans of Central High Football really play a major part in each game, both home and away. Coach Sid gives a lot of credit to the community and the fans for helping Wildcat Football to become what it is. “An advantage we have is our fan base. We ask all of our fans to come and be that edge, because we believe that’s an edge. I believe it may be the biggest fan base in our district.” Even aside from comparisons to other teams or venues, Edwards notes the way that Wildcat Stadium has become such a big part of the life of the Central community. “This is probably the biggest gathering place of any city event. We’re proud of our Friday nights.” Rebels Varsity Schedule DateOpponentLocation Aug 30 B.R.

Johnson This summer, I held my first section of “Conqueror Classes” with a great group of young women! I designed these fitness classes specifically for teenage girls to learn the truth about health and beauty! My inspiration for these classes came from my own experiences, which, unfortunately, are probably very similar to many other young women! Freshman year, my braces, glasses and super-long hair had me convinced me that I was a nerd. I would look in the mirror and hate what I saw. I thought I was too tall, too fat and way too awkward. If I tried putting on make-up, I just thought I looked worse, so I would cry and wipe the paint off my face, berating myself with degrading statements and reminding myself how stupid I was for even trying. Looking back, it is crazy to think about the horrible way I treated myself! I stopped eating breakfast and lunch as a way to lose weight and, disgustingly, I would be proud if I skipped food for a day or two. (I really wish I could go back in time & slap myself in the head for that!) Obviously, I had no energy at all, I never lost a pound and I still felt horrible. Then, my senior year, I did the Daniel Fast. I started to learn more about nutrition. I realized the better I ate, the better I felt. I had more energy, so I started to slowly workout. I didn’t lose weight (I actually gained about 10-15 pounds) but I lost 2 jean sizes. I stopped weighing myself and wrote dry erase messages across my mirror to remind myself of what a gift my body was and how many things it enabled me to do! Over time, the way I saw myself changed. It was a long process, and sometimes, I do still have bad days, but I continue to write those messages on my mirror and I live healthfully. It gives me the confidence to look in the mirror and know that I am strong, healthy and very beautiful. As embarrassing as this story may be to put in the newspaper (and potentially have every person I know read this!) it is something that I feel needs to be shared in order to help others NEVER feel the way I did back then! My next session of “Conqueror Classes” for teenage girls starts next Wednesday, September 4 at the Spectrum Fitness Club right here in Central! Classes will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 for 4 weeks. The cost is $50.00 for members and $60.00 for non-members. Spectrum has been great in allowing me to do this “out-of-the-box” class and if anyone is interested in participating, or knows someone who they would feel could benefit from this class, please don’t hesitate to call/E-mail/text for more information! I have a passion for spreading a love for our bodies and our health, and the more successful theses classes are, the more likely I can continue them into the future! My number is (225) 287-9476 and my E-mail is [email protected]. You can also see a flyer at www.racheleatsalot.com or by calling Spectrum at (225) 261-8405. As a reward for indulging me that long story, here is a favorite treat among the girls I taught this summer! I call them Power Bites, and believe it or not, they are super healthy and made of chocolate! :) • Heaping 1 cup whole, pitted dates • 1 cup walnuts • 3 Tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder • Dash of salt (optional) Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. After a slightly sticky consistency is reached (about 60-90 seconds) remove “dough” by Tablespoons and roll into balls. Eat immediately or wrap with Saran or place in Ziploc bag to keep fresh for up to a week! Quick, Easy, Delicious & Healthy! Hope you enjoy! Central 2018 * No Interest ‘til or We Pay Sales Taxes * Central Bloomers Host Jim Culpepper at August Meeting Pictured above from left to right: Clydia Dicharry, Jim Culpepper and Pam Wilson Central Bloomers hosted Jim Culpepper at the home of Clydia Dicharry on August 20. After a tour of the gardens, Mr. Culpepper gave an informative lecture on proper planting, pruning and mulching of trees. Focusing on the depth of planting he showed how the root flare should be just above the ground and that is was wise not to mulch or plant directly around the base, as this may cause disease. With regards to pruning he suggested keeping a 60/40 ratio, that is to leave at least sixty percent of tree limbs and when pruning to open up some area to allow air flow. More about tree planting and care can be found at www. ladf.state.us/ (Louisiana Department of Agriculture). Refreshments were served by club members.

Derek and Kacie Luckett of Luckett Farms have the answer. They grow a multiple of vegetable varieties on their 2 local farms and pick them at the peak of ripeness for their customers. They then deliver these beautiful veggies every week to the pick up point their customer selects. Their customer gets the benefit of delicious, healthful vegetables without the hassle of keeping a home garden, and at a much cheaper price than upscale markets like Whole Foods. Vegetables begin to lose their nutritional value the moment they are picked, so the quicker they get to your table, the better off your family is. With the Center for Disease Control urging us to eat up to 10 servings of vegetables a day for optimal health, a ready supply of locally grown produce can have a huge impact on your family's well-being. Luckett Farms has been in the commercial vegetable raising business for 4 years, but Derek has been a farmer for all of his life and studied Horticulture at LSU. He and Kacie have a passion for raising vegetables in the healthiest, most sustainable ways possible. In addition to using tried and true cultivation methods, they are committed to using integrated pest management, known as IPM. IPM involves using natural methods for long term insect pest prevention and suppression. For those concerned with massive amounts of chemicals and fertilizers sprayed on the food they will consume, this is very good news indeed. "We want to educate people about the benefits locally raised produce can bring," Derek shares, "Once they've tried us, they'll want more!" Luckett Farms is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) venture. CSAs came to this country Dr. Nikki Gautreaux OB/GYN Bayou Regional Women’s Clinic 6550 Main St, Ste 2000, Zachary 658-1303 in the 1980's from Europe. CSAs involve the community and the farmer working in partnership. The community supports the farmer with their money, the farmer invests his time, knowledge, and effort in growing produce for the community. This develops a relationship that benefits everyone. Customers pay for a 20 week season, with produce being delivered weekly. Luckett Farms offers their customers several options to obtain fresh produce. The Senior Share box is the least expensive and geared towards those on a fixed income with smaller appetites. The Average Share is for a family of 3-4. The Abundant Share feeds families of 4 or more.
