LIVINGSTON — Yellow Jackets may have a chance to become military cadets in the future as school officials consider establishing a Junior ROTC program at Denham Springs High School.

Leaders stressed that the process can be lengthy and said they haven’t even determined which branch they will approach to invite on campus.

The Army seems an unlikely partner, as that branch has currently reached its JROTC funding limit, according to the Army website.

The parish’s only other program, at Walker High, is affiliated with the Marines, and principal Jason St. Pierre praised the effect it’s had on campus in its first three years.

“They’re strictly implementing Marine Corps principles in the program. ... (The cadets)

have standards they have to meet behaviorally and academically,” he said, adding that the desire to remain in JROTC has kept some students from dropping out.

Schools do have to invest in the program though, providing classrooms, office space, an area to practice marching and an armory, St. Pierre said. The Marines also require a secure shooting range for air rifles, which Walker does not yet have

but is building as part of their ongoing expansion, he added.

The Navy application makes no mention of firing ranges but asks several questions about campus computer resources.

The Air Force would require a school the size of Denham Springs High to field at least 100 cadets.

Schools are also responsible for paying half the salary of two officers to serve as instructors, one commissioned and one

non-commissioned, St. Pierre explained.

School Board Vice President Buddy Mincey said he’d like to establish a program as soon as next year but admitted that working with the federal government, the process may take a bit longer.

Superintendent John Watson noted the decision does not just rely on the school — the military branch will have to agree to the partnership as well.

Baseball field for special needs children planned

While the special needs chil“Challenger’s Field,” is being planned in Walker for special dren are able to play on a conneeds children from through- ventional field, Ramsey said out Livingston and neighbor- the need exists to create a field that is especially catered to ing parishes.

Walker Mayor Rick Ramsey the needs of the mentally and said the city is trying to raise physically disabled.

The city already raised about $300,000 to build a baseball field suitable for men- $30,000 from area businesses, tally and physically disabled and Walker has applied for children in the area. Ramsey grants through several founsaid about 60 special-needs dations connected to Major Special to The Advocate

League Baseball.

Ramsey said the total cost of field will be about $421,000.

The city has been awarded $220,000 by the Cal Ripken Foundation, which is named in honor of Cal Ripken Jr., the legendary infielder for the Baltimore Orioles who set a record for playing in the most consecutive games of any player in professional baseball.

The field, which will be located in Sydney Hutchinson Park, will be of a reduced size with the center field fence be-

tween 90-100 feet from home plate. Shock absorbent turf will cover the field. Fences and dugout areas will be encased in protective covers, and special bases will be used to accommodate the needs of the athletes who will play there.

“The need for this field has been evident for some time.

Special needs children deserve this facility. It’s enlightening to watch these kids play ball because they want to win. Playing ball gives these kids the opportunity to do something that is good for them and that

they thoroughly enjoy. They have the opportunity to enjoy healthy exercise out in the fresh air. It’s something we need to do.” Ramsey said.

To help raise money for Challenger’s Field, a major fundraiser is scheduled for Jan. 18 at the North Park Gym. The event, Nashville Unplugged, will include music from a variety of Nashville country stars in addition to cameo appearances from local MLB greats and other celebrities from the äSee BASEBALL, page 3G

Hammond Eastside Magnet welcomes SLU education students

Fifth-graders in Becky Tobin’s class at Hammond Westside Elementary Montessori conducted a scientific investigation lesson Nov. 9 to determine what factors affect the period of a pendulum.

Students tested three independent variables having to do with motion: release point, mass and length. Concepts discussed during the lesson were motion, speed, gravity, force, potential energy, kinetic energy, independent variable and dependent variables.

RELEASE POINT: Using a 6-inch ruler, students released the bob of the pendulum from a height of 6 inches above the desk. They timed the amount of time it took to complete 10 periods (10 complete swings).

They performed two trials at the same height. To determine if it would swing faster if released at a higher point, students did two trials from a height of approximately 16 inches above the desk. It took the same amount of time to complete 10 periods no matter from what height the bob was released.

MASS: Students timed 10 periods of the pendulum swing using one large washer and then compared the time to two large washers. The students determined the mass did not affect the time it takes to swing.

LENGTH: Students compared the initial length, 18 inches of string with a shorter length of about 8 inches. They determined the pendulum swung much faster with the shorter string.

Wildcats challenged to repeat On display above a baseline in the Walker High gym, a giant portrait of the team that advanced to the Class 5A title game in girls basketball last season keeps the legacy of those Wildcats alive and well.

Adding another deep playoff run this year could be challenging, however, given the amount of experience and production Walker lost when the 2015 class graduated.

The team’s only three seniors, Jamie Gibson, Baylie Stears and Kacie Fountain, combined to average 52 points SPORTS per game as ROUNDUP Walker made its first trip to the state tournament since 2009 and advanced to the state title game for the first time since 1977.

All three of those seniors signed Division I scholarships.

But coach Korey Arnold said he isn’t expecting the kind of drop-off the numbers would suggest.

“I think we’re going to get better as the season goes on,” Arnold said. “The young ones have to find their role and gel together. Once that happens, I think we’re going to be tough to beat.”

Off to a 5-3 start, the Wildcats entered the Livingston Parish/Blount General Contractors Basketball Tournament at Live Oak as the No. 2 seed behind District 4-5A

Scott Hotard

rival Denham Springs.

Holden was seeded third and Albany fourth.

Walker won the Livingston Parish tournament each of the last two seasons, part of a run that included a 31-5 mark in 2014 with a berth in the 5A quarterfinals and a 31-6 finish last year en route to the 5A title game.

The Wildcats now move forward with a lineup that features two seniors, one junior, one sophomore and a freshman in the starting five.

Senior forward Keeona Brown, a Nicholls State signee, will be the go-to offensive weapon after averaging 12 points last year. Junior guard Treasure Mansur missed the early part of the schedule with a knee injury but is expected back later this month.

Arnold admits it may take some time to get his young team up to speed.

What has already been established, however, is the Wildcats expect to win.

“That’s one thing I don’t have to fight like a lot of schools,” Arnold said. “I don’t think we ever walk into a gym intimidated. We practice hard, we prepare hard, and I think the kids know that.

They saw last year what it took. So they know what kind of work goes into getting there.”

ment was set to tip-off Tuesday at Live Oak and finish Saturday with championship games at 6 p.m. (girls) and 7:30 p.m. (boys).

On the girls side, a potential matchup of Denham and Walker would pit the programs that have dominated the tournament in recent years.
