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.

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.

Hope Out Of Heartache
Kyle, Mindy, and Lawson Hebert with Maggie, Lisa, and Chris Kirby
By Mia Freneaux
How do you find hope in heartache? 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

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.”

Healthy Recipe: Power Bites
By Rachel F. 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 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.

CSA Program Arrives in Central
By Mia Freneaux
Tired of having to buy pink,
gas ripened tomatoes and other
vegetables that are picked underripe
so that they can be shipped across
country (or even into the country!)?
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

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. You can sign up for the

net. The website allows you to pay
online, or you can mail in a check.
A typical growing season for
Luckett Farms includes carrots,
beets, radishes, turnips, tomatoes,
squash (several varieties), broccoli,
cauliflower, cabbage,greens, lettuce,
kale, sweet corn, sweet potatoes,
strawberries, and cantaloupes. In
addition, Luckett Farms offers home
stone-ground cornmeal and grits,
and locally produced honey. The
Lucketts supply recipes, storage tips,
and other helpful information about
the vegetables. With 15 pick up
points all around the parish, Luckett
Farms makes it easy to obtain the
produce. You can even come by their
farm on Denham Road on any day of
the week if you call and prearrange
a time. The Lucketts will also
accommodate orders of additional
veggies, in case you're planning a
family reunion. They make sure their
customers get only the ripest, cream
of the crop picks. Look them up on
their website, Facebook, twitter, or
instagram, or email Kacie for more
information. "Our motto is 'Growing
Healthy Food for Our Family and
Yours,''' says Kacie, "We wouldn't
sell anything to our customers that
we wouldn't serve to our family."
