Council again postpones land use vote

BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer

The Slidell City Council has once again postponed a vote on a controversial proposal to amend and update various land use and development regulations in the city.

An ordinance that would purportedly untangle the city’s overly complicated zoning map and regulatory code reappeared on the council agenda at the Dec. 9 meeting, but members opted to delay action until Jan. 13.

The issue has been germinating for months, and the latest vote was the third time the ordinance has been “ ... I can promise you, deferred by the council. you’re not being bullied The proposal, in this process despite which would what the optics may modify the look like.” development codes, continKENNY TAMBORELLA, ues to reverSlidell City Council member berate through the community.

Some citizens have expressed fear that the changes embodied in the ordinance could open the door for multi-family structures in neighborhoods that currently allow only single-family residences.

The ordinance states that the proposed changes to the municipal code are designed to make it align better with the Slidell 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which is a long-term blueprint for sustainable growth in St. Tammany Parish’s largest city.

City and community leaders have grappled with the complex ordinance for months, and those discussions will now continue into 2026.

Former City Council member Buddy Lloyd, a resident of the Brugier Subdivision, urged the council to put stock in what citizens want in their city rather than what outside consultants recommend as appropriate development in the future.

“That decision should not be left up to them,” he said. “That decision should be left up to us and the people who represent us. We should not be bullied into what is happening on the national level.”

Lloyd’s comment drew a response from council member Kenny Tamborella, who thanked the former council member for his input.

“We do hear you, I promise you,” Tamborella said. “And I can promise you, you’re not being bullied in this process despite what the

Making memories at a Mande tea party It was a time for making memories in Mandeville when the Mande Milkshakers held their fifth annual Merry Mande Holiday Tea, a dream afternoon for little girls who brought their mothers and grandmothers, dads and brothers, to share a three-course tea on a sunny winter day at the city’s trailhead. There were also

Martin, Cousin to lead St. Tammany Parish School Board

BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer

Amanda Martin will serve as the next president of the St. Tammany Parish School Board, and Dennis Cousin will assume the position of vice president.

Martin and Cousin were among the slate of officers voted in Dec. 11 by their School Board colleagues to serve one-year terms beginning in January.

Also elected as officers

were board members Kalinda Fauntleroy as chair of the human resources/education committee and Michelle Gallaher as chair of the finance/administrative chair.

Martin will take over the presidency from Matt Greene, who served in the position in 2025. Fauntleroy was the vice president for the past year.

Cousin and Martin were nominated and approved by their board colleagues with little discussion. However,

board member C. Brandon Harrell questioned whether the board should hold off on appointing the committee chairs because discussions are ongoing over changes to the committee meeting format.

“I’d like to really look at how we’re doing our committee meetings,” Harrell said.

The board opted to go forward with the committee chair appointments and make appropriate changes

as needed if the committee meeting structure is changed.

The nature of the possible changes was not discussed at length, but member James Braud suggested that the board’s January agenda include “the option to eliminate committee meetings.”

Superintendent Frank Jabbia said he would have a draft of the yet undetermined committee format changes on the board’s January agenda.

The School Board meets on the second Thursday of each month for its regular meeting. In addition, the board meets as two committees as a whole on the first Thursday of each month.

One committee meeting involves business and administrative matters, and the second meeting involves human resources and education curriculum and instruction matters.

In addition to electing new officers, the board also

reappointed all six members of the school system’s audit committee, which consists of non-elected citizens tasked with providing financial and managerial guidance to the board and administration.

The reappointed members are Chairman Robert Broome, of Slidell; Jacob Bolin, of Slidell; Neil Hennegan, of Mandeville; Paul Tanguis, of Covington; Donald Frutiger, of Mandeville; and Glen Harris, of Slidell.

optics may look like.”

Council member Megan Haggerty described the changes to zoning codes as a process that could take additional time to complete.

“We are going to continue to postpone it until we are happy with the result,” she said. “By no means are we going to be rushed. Keep in mind, you have us in your corner, for sure.”

In other business, the council and city administration honored the Slidell High School volleyball team for winning its second consecutive LHSAA Division I State Championship on Nov. 15 with a sweep of Dominican High School at the Cajundome in Lafayette.

The consecutive volleyball state titles were the first for a public school since Ben Franklin went back-to-back in 2002 and 2003. Slidell’s most recent championship also marked the first time a public school won consecutive titles in the state’s highest classification since Andrew Jackson repeated in 1975.

Team members, coaches and managers were called up individually before the council to receive certificates.

mini-kitchens and put bicycles together. Due to their diligence, approximately 200 children will wake up to one of these special gifts under the tree.

This time of the year, Santa needs all the elves he can get.

To make sure everything is ready on Christmas morning, the bigger items must get from boxes into the hands of children ready to ride or play, and that’s where the assembly elves in St. Tammany come in.

The organization’s assembly team toils in their version of Santa’s workshop for an entire week to do what, for many parents, is a dreaded Christmas Eve chore. In that respect, their work turns into a gift for the parents, as well.

“This Christmas, we will put together approximately 140 bikes and more than 40 kitchens and dollhouses,” said group leader Mike Jugan. For the past two years, Jugan has led the team of 15 who assemble the trikes and bikes and larger play pieces.

He has been involved with the bike section of Project Christmas for six years and worked in the general distribution portion of the pro-

“We’ve got a great team of people. Some of us have worked together doing this for years,” said Jugan. Although the work itself can be tedious, the camaraderie between the volunteers made it evident that they enjoy their work and working together.

Over the years, the assembly team has been responsible for readying thousands of bikes for excited riders on Christmas morning.

The construction team is spread out through the building. Tiny kitchens featuring miniature microwave ovens and sinks with “running” water are popu-

lar requests, and several men were building them from the kits purchased through the program.

Vincent Rizzotto worked on a particularly detailed kitchen set. He has volunteered his time to build the culinary spaces for the past several years.

“I already have two hours into this one, and there’s still a bit to go,” he said.

Rizzotto said some sets can be put together in about 30 minutes, while others take much longer. The little rooms come with sinks, cabinets and small cooking utensils, ready for a young chef to create a fabulous pretend meal.

Mande Milkshaker Kim Henry serves her assigned table. It was tea time in Mandeville.

There can be challenges to the assembly system, according to Suzanne Switzer, Project Christmas’ East St. Tammany Parish site coordinator.

“Last year, a trike kit arrived with missing parts and couldn’t be used. Another was purchased to meet the immediate need, and we contacted the company later. It was a cute Red Rider model. The company told us the trike was still under warranty and sent us the parts for free,” praised Switzer. This year, that little tricycle has been built and will be under someone’s tree on Christmas morning.

Each bike is accompanied by a bike helmet and a card reminding the new owners of safe rules for the road, according to Jugan.

Toys of all shapes and sizes are an integral part of the Project Christmas program, where helping children’s wishes come true is the goal. The program has grown tremendously since starting in 2002.

“This year, we will be serving 1,819 angels from 716 families across the parish,” said Switzer. “We are blessed in a variety of ways.

We have people who adopt an angel and others who provide funds for us to shop for the families. We are also thankful to the organizations that hold toy drives

Farmer

for us. We have tremendous support parish-wide,” said Switzer.

Channeling Santa’s philosophy of making a list and checking it twice, the volunteers have their work cut out for them, keeping it all straight. Between the time in November when families register their children’s wish lists and the gift distribution in early December, a lot of shopping and sorting takes place.

Sitting at one of the intake tables in front of a long line of numbered black bags, Susie Andres logged a gift card and clothing into a binder. Andres has been a volunteer for Project Christmas since its beginning, with only a missed year here or there.

“I know that all the paperwork looks like a complicated system, but it works really well. I truly enjoy doing this, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Andres, working alongside volunteers with similar dedication to the program.

All totaled, this year it will take about 380 volunteers to make Project Christmas happen, according to Switzer. Once the final package is picked up and the last checklist is initialed, they will all take a collective deep breath and look forward to March, when the whole planning process starts again.

Dennis Shields confirmed at a board of supervisors meeting the day after Thanksgiving that he would step down at the end of the year, saying “the board wanted to go in a different direction.”

Folsom names first employee of the year

BY JIM DERRY

Contributing writer For quite some time, Folsom Mayor Lance Willie has been pondering how he could honor some of his finest workers in and around the village.

His idea came to fruition at the monthly meeting on Dec. 8, as he gave his first “Mayor’s Award” to honor Employee of the Year Adadrien “Day Day” Berry, who works in the town’s public works department.

“I can’t just go out and give employees bonuses; we don’t have the Berry funds for that. So everything I give them has to come out my own pocket,” Willie said. “I started to wonder how I could show my appreciation and give this out every year. It’s not just me; everybody appreciates them, and we need to show it to them.”

Several of Berry’s friends and family attended the meeting and celebrated the presentation, while Willie raved about what made Berry special and why he chose him for the award.

“Day Day goes above and beyond every single time,” Willie said. “I can’t tell

The

you how many times I have asked him for something, and I can’t even get it out before he says, ‘Yes sir, on it.’ And I don’t have to call him and check up, because I know it was done.

“That’s the whole point. This isn’t about the best attendance or how long you’ve been here; it’s about how much you gave in that year. … We have set a precedent, and Folsom is changing for the better, and we’re not looking back.”

CONDEMNED STRUCTURE ORDINANCE PASSES: The board unanimously passed into law an ordinance that will allow the village a “clear and lawful process for condemning, repairing or removing” structures that are “unsafe, blighted or hazardous.”

The mayor made it clear that building owners and/or homeowners would be issued multiple notices before any action is taken, and that it would only be necessary for structures without electricity or running water.

CHRISTMAS EVENT: Kids up to age 11 can come to the Folsom Town Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 20 for the annual Toys for Tots event as local area leaders and businesses will hand out gifts.

Northshore Community Orchestra will make a joyful noise

BY JESSICA SAGGIO Contributing writer

For volunteer Michael Caswell, being part of the Northshore Community Orchestra has always been a family affair.

That’s why he got involved in the first place, at least. And now that three of his four children — and his son-in-law — play alongside him, he can’t imagine life without it. Sure, he hadn’t played clarinet since high school when he first started 12 or so years ago. But when his then-fifth grade daughter took up the instrument, joining the orchestra together was a special way to spend time together.

The days of needing fingering charts on his music stand and extra practice to catch up on his skills are just a memory now, and his involvement in the orchestra and his passion for playing has blossomed over the years. So much so, he’s not only just a member of the clarinet section, but he’s also secretary of the board, the brains behind the organization’s website, the point person for the group’s communication, the designated photographer and an extra hand prepping for performances.

And when it comes time for this year’s Christmas concert at the Slidell Auditorium — scheduled for Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.

— he’ll be there, ready to help and ready to perform. In fact, everyone else will be there because of him, too. He’s the guy sending out reminders to show up.

For those who want to attend, this is a free concert and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The 50-plus community orchestra, made up of a collection of people from all different backgrounds, will perform a variety of Christmas songs. From new renditions of old songs to classic carols, the night will be filled with the spirit of the season.

“We’re all just normal, everyday, average people for the most part. We have former teachers and band directors who have a more real music background, but most of us are doctors, teachers, engineers, retired people from all walks of life. Students, construction workers,” said Casewell. “It’s a variety of normal people from the community who come together and perform this music.”

NORTHSHORE COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA CHRISTMAS CONCERT

WHAT: The 50-plus member orchestra performs a collection of Christmas music, featuring classic carols, stylized renditions and medleys.

WHERE: Slidell Municipal Auditorium, 2056 Second St. WHEN: Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.; doors open at 6:30 p.m.

HOW MUCH: Admission is free; however, donations to the community orchestra are always welcomed. Seating is is first-come, firstserved.

MORE INFO: northshoreorchestra.org.

And that includes Caswell, who is a wedding photographer by trade.

However, being part of the orchestra is a special experience, he said, and being able to play with his children? That’s just the icing on top. Two of his daughters, one who is 27 and the other who is 17 and a senior in high school, play clarinet alongside him.

His 13-year-old son plays violin, but can also play clarinet. And his son-in-law plays French horn.

“We’re a big chunk of the orchestra, just us,” he joked.

Although the thrill of performing isn’t something he had experienced since high school, now that he’s had a taste of it, he plans to stay involved even if his kids move on.

“I love playing music. I like when we have a good performance and the audience is receptive to that and enjoys the performance. It’s a satisfying thing,” he said.

“When you’re an adult and in the motions of working every day and going through the daily grind, to be able to shift over and do something like that, it’s just enjoyable.”

Caswell said it was an obvious move to get more involved with the board, as there was a gap that needed filling after another member moved on. But seeing the orchestra continue and thrive is important to him.

Crain confirmed to seat on federal bench

BY MARK BALLARD Staff writer

WASHINGTON — Louisiana Supreme Court Justice William Crain was confirmed Dec. 9 by the U.S. Senate for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench in New Orleans.

The Senate voted 49 to 46 to allow Crain, 64, to join the U.S. trial court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Both Louisiana’s senators — Bill Cassidy, Crain R-Baton Rouge, and John Kennedy, R-Madisonville — voted in favor of confirming Crain. Three senators did not vote.

Crain wrote in his Senate disclosure that he reached out to Kennedy, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, in 2024 to express his interest in one of the

three vacancies on the U.S. District Court based in New Orleans.

Kennedy’s office informed Crain on March 25 that they were forwarding his résumé to the White House.

Crain was interviewed April 25 by the White House Counsel’s Office, he wrote. The FBI Background check began Sept.

4 and President Donald Trump nominated him on Oct. 21.

Crain was elected to the Louisiana Supreme Court in 2019 after spending six years as a judge on the state’s First Circuit Court of Appeal, where he considered the appeals from civil and criminal district courts in 16 parishes.

He was elected in 2009 to the 22nd Judicial District bench over-

seeing civil and criminal cases from St. Tammany and Washington parishes.

Crain had been a trial lawyer with Jones Fussell LLP, a Covington law firm, for 23 years before being elected to the bench.

“I specialized in medical malpractice and my predominate client was St. Tammany Parish Hospital. I also represented BellSouth Telecommunications, John Deere and Coca-Cola,” Crain wrote.

He also represented survivors of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms agents killed in the April 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

He reported to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he presided over 150 criminal and civil cases as a judge and listed participating in more than 500 legal opinions, including one in which the

Supreme Court in 2023 reversed lower courts and allowed the City of St. George to incorporate in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Crain also was the lead author in State v. Spell, from May 2022.

Crain and a majority of the Supreme Court negated Gov. John Bel Edwards’ executive order limiting gatherings to no more than 10 people in response to the COVID pandemic. Crain wrote that the order violated the Rev. Mark A. Spell’s First Amendment religious freedom rights.

“My opinion found the executive orders, which excluded a multitude of secular activities but applied to religious services, did not survive strict scrutiny under the First Amendment,” Crain wrote on his Senate questionnaire.

Crain attracted opposition from pro-abortion rights community in

Ordinance requires Coroner’s Office to hand over $14M

constitutional challenge is a Tape says separate legal case and is onin state district court, demand ‘unlawful’ going Hartman said.

BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

A long-simmering dispute between St. Tammany Parish’s government and its embattled coroner, Christopher Tape, has intensified with the passage of an ordinance calling on the coroner to transfer all money from his office to the parish, a demand he says is unlawful.

The ordinance, sponsored

by Parish President Mike Cooper and Parish Council member Joe Impastato, was passed by the council on Dec. 4. It requires Tape’s office to “transfer all funds on hand” to St. Tammany Parish Government and to continue to transfer funds on a quarterly basis going forward.

There was no discussion of the ordinance at the meeting, but its requirements mirror a petition that the Parish Government filed in court this spring demanding that Tape hand over $14 million in cash on hand.

In the April filing, the parish cited a 2024 state law that gave the parish broad control over Tape’s finances. Tape, in turn, argued he could not be required to give the parish money, given his separate ongoing constitutional challenge to the 2024 law.

In response to the parish’s April filing, Judge Reginald T. Badeaux ruled that the 2024 law required the Coroner’s Office to turn over the funds from property taxes, according to James Hartman, a spokesperson for Tape’s office.

The Coroner’s Office has appealed Badeaux’s decision and the case is currently before the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal, Hartman said. The

his Supreme Court dissent in June Medical Services LLC v. Landry.

The Court had issued a temporary injunction that allowed abortion providers to temporarily operate after the U.S. Supreme Court returned to the states the determination of who could terminate pregnancies and when.

Crain’s comments in his dissent “can only be implied as supporting the extreme legal doctrine of fetal personhood,” according to the Alliance for Justice, a left-leaning judicial advocacy group based in Washington.

A Bogalusa native, Crain worked for state Sen. B.B. “Sixty” Rayburn, D-Bogalusa, between 1980 and 1986. He graduated from LSU in 1983 with a bachelor’s in accounting degree, then received his law degree in 1986 from LSU’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center.

Jamie Mauthe, Gwen Mahoney

Tape has also argued he cannot be required to hand over the $14 million because it was not from property tax revenue, but rather self-generated from grants and fees and not owed to the parish.

Perhaps with Tape’s distinction of the different revenue sources in mind, the parish’s ordinance specifically calls for Tape to hand over all money “from any source.”

Cooper said in a statement that the new ordinance put Tape’s office in “alignment with the other coroner’s offices in Louisiana with regard to managing finances.”

Tape, meanwhile, called the ordinance “unlawful” and a “desperate money-grab” in a news release on Dec. 9, claiming it only would lead to further litigation.

The St. Tammany Parish Council was among those calling on Tape to resign in 2024 in the wake of media reports that revealed he was indicted on child sexual assault charges in New Mexico two decades ago. The charges were ultimately dropped and Tape has maintained his innocence.

The state Legislature passed the 2024 law amid the controversy around Tape. A recall effort to force Tape out of office failed last year, but tensions have remained between the coroner and parish officials.

On top of all that, the expiration of the coroner’s dedicated property tax in 2024 may make it harder for the parish to pay for the Coroner’s Office in the coming years. The parish is already struggling to pay for other state-mandated costs like the District Attorney’s Office, judges and jail.

A raise for Covington Council members is on the table

It has been just shy of eight years since the Covington City Council gave itself a raise, but a measure introduced by council member Jimmy Inman could change that if it gets through a public hearing and the other council members

An ordinance authorizing the salary increase was announced for consideration without any fanfare at the regular monthly meeting on Dec. 9, and it will be voted on at the next meeting on Jan. 13. If approved, it would not take effect until July 1, 2027, which is after the next council would take office.

Tree planting begins area America 250 celebration Staff report St. Tammany Parish Government representatives added a new live oak tree to the Koop Drive government complex near Mandeville on Dec. 9 in partnership with America 250, the first Louisiana parish to plant its “Liberty Tree” donated by Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain.

“The naming of ‘Liberty Trees’ has deep roots in our country, echoing the original Liberty Tree in Boston that in 1765, served as the site of a rallying point and protest by patriots, later leading to the American Revolutionary War,” said President Mike Cooper. “We are honored to .... have a Liberty Tree of our own that will grow into a beautiful live oak for our community to enjoy and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.”

The Liberty Tree Program is an initia-

tive conceived in 2023 by the Sons of the American Revolution; the sentiment was then adopted by the 2025 state legislature in a resolution recommending that each parish plant its own “Liberty Tree” at a site of historic significance.

Firefighter Jarrett Simmons honored by his fire district St. Tammany Fire Protection District No. 11 recognized Fire Operator Jarrett Simmons as the 2025 Firefighter of the Year during the district’s Board of Commissioners meeting on Dec. 9.

The prestigious award is voted on annually by all fire district employees and presented during the final Board of Commissioners meeting of the year.

Simmons, who joined the district nearly a year ago, has already made a significant

Expanded Harbor Center near Slidell has record 2025

BY JIM DERRY

Contributing writer The Northshore Harbor Center is closing out a record year that will end up with about 140 events having taken place at the facility, and its operators predict that it could have an even bigger 2026.

The 140 events took up 205 rented days, which is as logistically close to fully rented as they can handle, General Manager Victoria Paz said.

It was the most events the recently expanded facility has seen since it opened in 2005.

And as it looks forward to a new year, the center released its budget overview for 2026 and approved total expenses of $1.57 million, according to the Harbor Center’s 14-member board of commissioners during its Dec. 4 meeting.

The comparison to final expenses from 2025 will be announced at the January board meeting.

That figure is close to balanced, as it is just $34,000 short of what it is expected to take in, with revenue coming from several sources, including $650,000 from the hotel occupancy tax, $290,000 from rental fees and $248,588 from a St. Tammany Parish fund.

“I think my committee worked really well and problem-solved through a bunch of things to get us to where we are,” Paz said. “It’s a much closer budget to net even than anyone had anticipated.

I think the overall feeling when it was presented was optimism.”

One expense that saw an exponential raise was for water services to the Harbor Center, which has two meters

– one for the building itself and its fire suppression system and another for outside irrigation.

They previously had been paying about $250 per month, Paz said, but the cost rose to nearly $1,700 monthly. The 2026 budget marks $21,000 for water utilities and $160,000 for electric bills.

The Harbor Center, a public facility near Slidell, is host to many events each year, including large corporate conferences, Carnival balls, wedding showers and parties.

The facility expanded in August 2024 by 9,000 square feet to 54,000 total square feet. This included a large multipurpose room that can be divided into four separate meeting rooms. Rentals can be for a gathering of as few as 25 people to as many as 2,500.

To pay for the new well, the town must likely secure a loan through the Local Government Assistance Program. The council will try to take up the subject again at the next regularly scheduled meeting on Jan. 7, a representative said.

Mandeville community theater expands to open Studio X

BY SHEILA GRISSETT

Staff writer

The 30 by Ninety Theatre has announced the launch of Studio X, a new youthfocused performance space dedicated to developing the next generation of artists on the northshore.

Leaders of the community theater in Old Mandeville say the new space — an additional 1,600 square feet in its building at 880 Lafayette St. — represents a “significant expansion” of its commitment to provide education, creativity and accessibility to young performers who need a place to grow their skills in a professional, supportive environment.

Studio X will open its inaugural season with the production of Roald Dahl’s “Matilda Jr.,” directed by Jason Leader with musical

direction by Isabel Kay. This high-energy musical, adapted from the beloved story of an extraordinary young girl, serves as an appropriate first production to celebrate the launch of the new space.

Auditions for “Matilda Jr.” will take place Jan. 5 at 5:30 p.m. at 30 by Ninety Theatre. Go to 30byninety. com/studio-x to sign up for an audition time.

Young performers ages seven to 17 are invited to try out for the show, and rehearsals will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

There is no participation cost to be part of the production, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience live theater without financial barriers, according to Leader, who is also executive director of 30 by Ninety Theatre.

Leader said the production marks a new chapter for 30 by Ninety as Studio X becomes the home for its youth programming, workshops, and expanded educational initiatives. The physical expansion also means that the theater fully occupies its 6,000-squarefoot building.

“Studio X has been years in the making,” he said.

“Our mission has always been to provide meaningful arts experiences for our community, and especially for young performers. With Studio X, we are creating a place where they can take the stage, find their voice, and discover the joy of storytelling.”

To help finish building out, better equipping and growing Studio X, the theater has launched its Studio X Marquee Campaign. Details can be found at 30byNinety.com.

Christ Episcopal names new head of school Staff report The Christ Episcopal School Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of the Rev. Charles Latour as the next Head of School near Covington, effective July 1.

“Father Charles Latour’s experi- Latour ence, vision, and values align beautifully with our mission and our future,” said school rector, the Rev. D. Seth Donald. “Christ Episcopal School looks forward to welcoming Father Charles in 2026 as he leads our community into an exciting new chapter of growth and faith.”

After an extensive and prayerful search process, he said Latour emerged as the unanimous choice of the CES Head of School Search Committee, the board, and the vestry of Christ Episcopal Church Covington.

Latour is currently head of the upper school at St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Metairie, and he previously led Archbishop Hannan High School for a decade.

He holds advanced degrees in education, law, and theology, including a Master of

Education, a Juris Doctor, a Master of Arts in Theology, and a Master of Divinity. With more than 25 years in education, he brings a deep commitment to academic excellence, faith formation and community leadership, the board said.

Christ Episcopal School was opened in 1984 as a lower grade school and has continued to expand over the years. In 1998, the school added eighth grade; the high school in 2009 with a single freshman class; and added additional high school grades in subsequent years.

Christ Episcopal is part of the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, which also includes high school programs Isidore Newman, Louise McGehee and Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans and Metairie Park Country Day and St. Martin’s Episcopal in Metairie. As with those schools, Christ Episcopal officials said many of their graduates apply to selective colleges.

The CES Board’s letter announcing Latour’s appointment can be found at christepiscopalschool.org/head-of-schoolsearch.

Lakeshore senior ‘on fire’ during win over Fontainebleau

BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Lakeshore guard Jeremiah Lewis admitted that he has struggled with his shot a little this season.

But the senior continued to plug away, knowing that one day he would see the ball splash through the hoop with regularity again.

That day came on Dec. 10 when Lewis posted a game-high 28 points as the Titans held off Fontainebleau for a 71-65 victory in Day 2 of the Bulldog Classic.

“My shot has been pretty off in the first few games, but my coach told me

to keep shooting because I’m a great shooter,” Lewis said. “Good shooters are going to keep shooting, and it felt great tonight. I just kept letting it fly.”

Lewis scored 21 points in the first half while draining six 3-pointers in the game. But while Lewis lit up the scoreboard, both teams struggled to finish in the lane.

“We missed a bunch of layups in the first half, but we were able to turn it around in the second half,” Lewis said. “We made more of our layups in the second half, and that was the big thing in this game. We just had to keep playing at our own pace. We like to play pretty fast, and we have

to execute when teams don’t get back on defense.”

Leading 36-31 at halftime, the Titans (7-1) seemingly pulled away in the third quarter, pushing their lead to 15 points at several points via turnovers and quick backdoor cuts. But the Bulldogs (3-5) wouldn’t go away as they cut the lead to nine points heading into the final quarter.

“We just weren’t making layups early,” Lakeshore coach TK Kendall said. “In the third quarter, we made a bunch in a row, and it changed the game. No. 2 (Lewis) was on fire today.

Winning streaks are made to be broken, and that’s what happened at Lakeshore’s Thunderdome on Dec. 9 in nondistrict girls basketball action.

Covington entered the contest on an eight-game winning streak, but the Titans used a balanced, team effort to earn a 52-41 home victory.

Lakeshore seventh-year coach deLynn Stelly said her team’s focus was key.

“They beat us last year, so we wanted a little revenge. We had a great mindset entering the game, knowing it would take a solid team effort to beat Covington. We Covington’s Lanisha Buris scored did a good job a game-high 22 points against managing the Lakeshore. game, playing unselfish team basketball, sharing the ball and hustling on defense,” Stelly said.

“This is my most talented team, and we’re starting to jell. This was a big victory. We’ll be off until Dec. 19 for exams, so we can concentrate on our academics.”

Lakeshore senior Olivia Turkin topped the Titans with 17 points as she helped Lakeshore control the boards and finished with 10 second-half points to keep the Lions at bay.

“After losing to them last year, we wanted to start out upbeat, playing with a good attitude. It’s a really big win for us since we’ll be off until Dec. 19. Hopefully, it can be a momentum win for us,” Turkin said.

“We have really good team chemistry, and we emphasize working together. We definitely have trust in each other. We did a good job communicating on the defensive end, which led to our offense.”

Covington held a slim 10-9 advantage at the end of the first quarter, despite turning the ball over six times. The Lions went cold opening the second period, while the Titans netted eight unanswered points, with junior Jazarah Reimonenq scoring six straight to build a 17-10 lead midway through the second quarter.

sion I state title. But Labat’s senior year was about more than just filling up the stat sheet; she also continued to grow her understanding of the game and the setter position. Her consistent ability to put her hitters in the best position was key to the Tigers’ repeat state title and a big reason why she earned MaxPrep’s Player of the Year honors for Louisiana.

COACH OF THE YEAR LISA CARDINALE, St. Scholastica The fourth-year coach guided the Doves to new heights as they reached the Division II state championship match for the first time in school history. But that road to Lafayette started way back in the summer as Cardinale took an even more involved role in getting her team to jell. After the Mandeville summer league, the team met in groups and as individuals to talk about volleyball and life. It was that focus on building a true team dynamic that helped the Doves earn the No. 2 seed as they made school history in Lafayette.

So he was still able to impact the game.”

Fontainebleau cut the lead to 67-62 on Semaj Whittine’s 3-pointer with just over a minute to play, but Lewis scored Lakeshore’s final four points as the visitors held on.

Senior Connor Tyson led the Bulldogs with 13 points, followed by Whittine and Cooper Caskey with 12 points each. Fontainebleau was 11 of 34 shooting in the paint, a fact not lost on coach Randall Ginn.

“We really went to our third string when we made the run in the second quarter,” Ginn said. “That was exciting because I think it made a statement to our older guys. Judah Benjamin and Will Fontenot, a sophomore and a freshman, gave us the energy that we needed. But you can’t shoot 11 of 34 at the rim and win basketball games. We just had to put the ball in the hole at a higher percentage than that.”

MANDEVILLE 71, FRANKLINTON 47: Senior Will Blessey scored 22 of his game-high 24 points in the first half as the Skippers cruised to victory in the opening game.

Mandeville held an 11-8 lead after one quarter, but the Skippers took control in the second quarter, outscoring the Demons 25-14 to build a 38-22 halftime lead. Franklinton didn’t threaten in the second half.

“It helps when one of your players goes 6 for 7 from 3 in the first half,” Mandeville coach Josh Priola said. “That helps, and we were able to rebound. That was a concern coming in, but we did a good job rebounding. We did a good job of boxing out to put them away. We still have a lot of things to work on, but it was a good win tonight.”

Blessey went 8 of 9 from the field in the first half, including 6 of 7 from beyond the arc. He missed just three shots in the game. Overall, the Skippers (6-1) had 10 players record at least one bucket.

Jermaine Brown and Luke Landry both had 9 points, while Landon Lips added eight.

Covington senior Catelyn Yeager, who finished with a game-high 25 points during a 57-50 victory over Pine on Dec. 8, ran into foul trouble against Lakeshore. She was whistled for her third foul in the first half and sat until re-entering with just 1:14 left in the third quarter, finishing with five points.

Covington’s second-year coach Kevin Warner said it was a disappointing way for the eight-game winning streak to end.

“You have to give Lakeshore the credit. They played harder than we did, and they were just quicker to the ball. We made too many unforced mistakes. We’ll get back to the drawing board and work on the things we need to correct. We’ll concentrate on starting another streak,” he said.

“Lanisha (Buris) is our scorer, and we have to have the ball in her hands. She did her best to keep us in the game. Catelyn (Yeager) is also a big part of what we do.

She competes, and they follow her lead. It hurt us with her being in foul trouble.”

the Titans’ run. The Lions trailed 22-14, but on their final possession, Brooke Baham drained a clutch 3-pointer with 15 seconds left before intermission. That was as close as the Lions would get the rest of the game.

Lakeshore reestablished itself early in the third, reeling off six straight, building a 28-19 cushion.

Buris responded with consecutive putbacks to cut the lead to 28-21 midway through the third quarter.

But the Titans responded again as junior guard Gabby Lightfoot (12 points) converted on two key 3-pointers to push the lead back to double digits. Lightfoot’s second triple from the top of the key, assisted by Tannah Willie, pushed the Titans’ lead to 39-25 with just 36 seconds left in the third quarter.

“I love being locked in on my three-point attempts. When they go in, it’s almost like instant momentum for the team. We were focused, and it’s a big team win,” Lightfoot said.

“We did a good job blocking out SCORE BY QUARTERS and rebounding, which allowed COVINGTON | 10 | 7 | 12 | 12 — 41 us to push the ball up court. Good LAKESHORE | 9 | 13 | 17 | 13 — 52 SCORE defense usually turns into good of- BOX COVINGTON (8-3): Lanisha Buris, 22; Elise fense.”

Hannan volleyball duo picks their college destinations

BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Hannan middle hitter Bailey Bevolo and libero Avery Lewis have played a lot of volleyball together.

How much, you ask?

According to Bevolo’s mother, Mackenzie, the duo recently eclipsed 1,800 straight days of competing and practicing together. So, it seemed fitting that when it came time to decide on their college destinations, the duo put pen to paper at the same time.

Bevolo is headed to Spring Hill, while Lewis signed with the NAIA’s College of Idaho on Dec. 10.

“Today is a really special day because I honestly didn’t really think that I would ever get to this point,” Bevolo said. “It’s just really meaningful to have my friends and family support me on this journey.”

Lewis, who eclipsed 1,000 career digs this past season, agreed: “I’m just really excited to play at the next level and be close to my sister in Idaho. I’m really excited for this opportunity. I emailed a bunch of schools up there, and this one is like 20 minutes away from her house. I’m really excited to chase my dreams up there.”

Both were three-year varsity players for the Hawks, winning a state championship as sophomores. Bevolo finished her senior season with 502 kills, 73 blocks, 58 digs and 25 aces, while Lewis anchored the back line with 595 digs, 186 assists and 81 aces.

“I just loved it,” she said. “As soon as I got on the campus, I knew it was the place for me. It’s just like a family there.”

Lewis was a tennis player when she was younger, but then, she turned her focus to volleyball.

“I started playing volleyball in junior high, and I just fell in love with the team aspect of it,” Lewis said.

“I’ve loved it ever since I started playing, and I’m just happy that I get to keep playing.”

Hannan coach Rebekka Bonnaffee said the duo signing together was fitting, since “there is not much that they do apart,” including serving as team leaders this past season.

“They have been so instrumental in just continuing to build our program,” Bonnaffee said. “We had people before them that put us on the map, but they have grounded us for the last several years. We’re going to miss them. I’m going to miss their leadership. I love them both like my own daughters. They are good kids, super hard workers and just kind people.”

Slidell’s Ava Labat picks Loyola-New Orleans

BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Slidell setter Ava Labat has been an integral part of the Tigers’ back-to-back Division I state championships.

The senior passed 4,000 career assists this past season, and now, she’s ready for the next challenge — college volleyball.

Labat signed to play both indoor and beach volleyball at Loyola-New Orleans on Dec. 8.

“Today means a lot,” Labat said. “Loyola is close to home. They have a growing program. I think I’ll succeed a lot there. When I visited, it felt like home. It felt like a good school to be at.”

Labat said that winning a second straight state championship was a great way to end her high school career, and signing with Loyola was another memorable moment in a school year filled with them.

As a senior, she recorded a career-high 1,595 assists, 281 digs, 72 blocks, 60 kills and 26 aces. Since her sophomore season, Labat has 4,206 assists, 791 digs, 186 kills, 176 blocks and 83 aces.

“My older sister (Ally) played volleyball, so I was always around it,” Labat said. “I just wanted to be like her and play. I started playing like her, and eventually, I started to get serious about it and wanted to improve.”

Slidell coach Danny Tullis said Labat’s volleyball

Slidell setter Ava Labat was all smiles after signing to play indoor and beach volleyball at Loyola-New Orleans on Dec. 8. With Labat are her parents, Nichole and Jermaine Labat.

IQ has grown exponentially over the past three years.

“Whenever you have team success, it is easier for people to notice your individual success,” Tullis said. “I felt like Ava had the potential for individual greatness since she started setting in the seventh grade. She is such a good athlete. She’s an athlete who learned the game and continues to improve. I think she has been so successful because her understanding of the game has grown so much.”

Loyola coach Jenna Ibieta, a former standout setter at Country Day, said Labat has plenty of room to grow with the Wolfpack.

“We are very excited to

have Ava,” Ibieta said. “Not a lot of people get to have this opportunity to play at the next level, so it is a testament to her hard work and determination. We’re excited not only for indoor

but also for beach too. I know she doesn’t have a lot of beach experience, but we know that we will be an impact player. We’re excited for her to keep growing as a player and a person.”
