Council overrides Cooper’s veto Move cuts raises, Safe Haven funding

There seems to be nowhere that Santa cannot go, including onto a boat in the Tchefuncte River to be part of Madisonville’s lighted boat parade on Dec. 13 celebrating the holidays, the nation’s 250th birthday, the military and area first responders.

Twinkling on the Tchefuncte When are moving boats on the water more than just routine river traffic? When they’re twinkling with lights on the Tchefuncte River the night of Dec. 13 to celebrate the holidays in Madisonville.

Twinkle on the Tchefuncte River was a night for families to gather, cheer, relax and sing carols on the bank of the river.

Watercraft loaded with friends, families and neighbors parade along the river wearing the colors of Christmas and the U.S.A.

Roberts leaves YMCA for Children’s Museum challenge

BY SUZIE HUNT

The St. Tammany Parish Council voted Dec. 18 to override Parish President Mike Cooper’s veto of two spending cuts the council made to the Cooper administration’s 2026 parish budget, a $620,000 cut to the Safe Haven mental health campus and an elimination of about $955,000 for employee raises.

Those cuts were included in amendments the council made to Cooper’s proposed budget before adopting it Dec. 5. Cooper on Dec. 15 announced he had vetoed the cuts.

But later last week, the council unanimously voted 12-0 to override Cooper’s vetoes. Council

committee, Roberts saw potential in the position for him to be a real difference-maker.

His career has been centered around helping children reach their full potential, starting with his work as a paraprofessional in the St. Tammany Parish school system.

“I was working in a PJ’s Coffee shop when someone came up to me and said they thought I would be good working with special education students. I don’t know exactly what they saw in me, but with their help, I got my certification and became a para. Their encouragement showed me that believing in someone could be powerful and how it could change a life,” Roberts said.

After a few years, he went on to get his college degree, teach math and work as a computer technician and high school basketball coach in the school system. In all of these jobs, Roberts felt the calling to inspire

Nealy Frentz’s life is coming up roses.

The chef and co-founder of Lola in Covington will represent the northshore and its cuisine on Louisiana’s float in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. It’s a full circle moment for Frentz, a California native born in Pasadena Hospital who has more recently been a lieutenant and member of the parading, all-female Krewe of Eve for 10 years.

“This one, I don’t have to buy beads for,” she quipped of the upcoming parade in the city of

“I went to the Rose Parade when I was young. I don’t know if people still do this, but you would sleep on the sidewalk to reserve your spot the night before. I distinctly remember doing that,” Frentz said. “I remember the floats being huge and magical back then. I can’t imagine what they look like now.”

But she looks forward to finding out soon and is thrilled to be riding. Her family moved out of California years ago, and she’s been back a few times to see some old friends.

Now she’s going home, and she’s going to ride in the Rose Parade “I remember the of her youth.

Rose Parade “Our business has been here a long time, and we try to represent the northshore to the best of our ability. We truly love it here.”

Lola will mark its 20th anniversary in January and is still a hot spot for locals and outof-towners.

“We are busy,” Frentz said with a laugh. “I tell people all the time, Covington, especially downtown Covington, we have seen the ups and downs, and right now it’s on fire; there are so many restaurants and businesses opening. It’s awesome. There’s always something to do.”

Frentz spent the first 15 years of her life in the San Fernando Valley before moving and going to college at Johnson and Wales in Rhode Island. There she met her husband, Keith, and together they opened Lola after Katrina.

The two chefs are taking their kids, Holden and Ella, to California for the parade, leaving just after Christmas.

Nealy said her kids keep asking her what she’s supposed to wear (she doesn’t know yet), how long the parade will be (three hours), and if she’s throwing anything (no).

Nothing except Southern charm, smiles and waves, Frentz clarified.

Riders must be in position by 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day, so Frentz will sit on the float for the duration, and after the parade concludes, there will be a huge party for riders and the public to see all the floats up close.

Louisiana’s float features a giant pelican stirring a seafood gumbo full of Gulf Coast flavor. The float will be led by a classic shrimp boat carrying fresh Gulf seafood as a tribute to the men and women in the state’s seafood industry.

It’s no Mardi Gras parade, but the Tournament of Roses parade turns 137 years old on Jan. 1 and certainly has a distinct charm. It will be shown on various ABC and NBC affiliates throughout the nation.

“Growing up as a child, I didn’t do Mardi Gras,” Nealy Frentz said. “But we always had the Rose Parade. I am very, very excited and honored that I was chosen to represent the northshore.”

Frentz will be joined by Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and Louisiana Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain and wife, Susan, on Louisiana’s “Gulf to Gumbo” float.

The Rose Parade will follow a 5.5-mile route, with Earvin “Magic” Johnson as this year’s grand marshal. Up to 40 floats, each covered in individually placed flowers or other natural materials (such as leaves, seeds or bark), along with marching bands and equestrian units, will parade to the theme of “The Magic of Teamwork.”

After the parade, the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal game will be played in the Rose Bowl between the No. 1-seeded Indiana Hoosiers, as the Big Ten representative, and the winner of the first-round playoff game between No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners and No. 9 Alabama Crimson Tide. This will be Indiana’s second Rose Bowl appearance; Oklahoma has also only played one previous game there, and Alabama has played eight Rose Bowl games in Crimson Tide history.

members Maureen O’Brien and Rick Smith were absent.

“We need to override this and save the parish $1.6 million dollars,” said Council member Cheryl Tanner, who is chair of the parish’s Finance Committee and will become council chair in January.

The council, in its amendments, had shifted $244,000 of the Safe Haven spending to computer license costs for the Clerk of Court’s Office and $350,000 for the costs of pending litigation that the parish’s insurance would not cover.

The parish is mandated to cover expenses of the Clerk of Court’s Office, Tanner noted in an interview. The money for the litigation, meanwhile, will cover a pending lawsuit over zoning. It had also been originally budgeted to cover legal representation in the St. Tammany Mosquito Abatement District’s lawsuit against the parish, but the district recently dropped the suit.

Any leftover money after litigation is over will go to the northshore District Attorney’s office, the northshore judges and the jail, Tanner said. Those agencies saw 30% reductions in funding in the 2026 budget, and in defending the cuts to Safe Haven, Tanner has noted that the parish is mandated to cover the costs of those criminal justice agencies, while it is not mandated to cover the costs of Safe Haven.

But the cuts to Safe Haven sparked criticism from people who work at the parish-owned campus. The parish rents space there to the National Alliance on Mental Illness’ Southeast Louisiana chapter, the Florida Parishes Human Services Authority and St. Tammany Parish Public Schools.

Volunteers from NAMI Southeast Louisiana spoke against the cuts when the council adopted the budget. At the council’s special meeting on Dec. 18, Cooper called Safe Haven an “incredible resource to our community.”

“It’s our obligation to maintain the campus so the children and teachers that are coming to

the schools see a campus that is being maintained,” Cooper said.

The cuts will affect maintenance at the sprawling property near Mandeville. It will mean, for instance, there will be less grass cutting and there’s not going to be pest control on the campus, said Council Administrator Mary Burckell.

Still, Tanner said there will be around $800,000 cash on hand to run the campus in the coming months. That money comes from rent that some tenants pay and leftover money from an expired parish public health tax.

“It was very hard to do these cuts, but we have to start somewhere,” Tanner said. She has said the District Attorney’s office, northshore judges and jail could face around more than 50% cuts in the 2027 budget.

Nick Richard, the executive director of NAMI Southeast Louisiana, said last week he has had meetings with the council, the schools and Florida Parishes Human Services Authority, as well as the Cooper’s administration, about making Safe Haven work.

“They have made good faith efforts to talk to us, understand

us,” Richard said of the council.

The parish, meanwhile, has invested around $18 million in state and federal grants for ongoing improvements at Safe Haven campus, said Jeanne Marino, the grants department director. The parish would have to return grant money if it sells the property before the term of the grant has expired. The last grant term is expected to end around 2034, Marino said.

About the cuts to the 2% costof-living raises for parish employees, as well as the 1% merit-based raises, Tanner noted the council had promised employees they would reevaluate the raises in the new year, once they have information about expected increases in employees’ health insurance costs, which the parish covers.

“This is not in any way intended to undermine them,” Tanner said.

Cooper, meanwhile, argued that the raises were in line with rising prices of grocery, housing and insurance.

“I can’t say enough how much our employees deserve a small cost-of-living adjustment,” he said.

Q&A WITH SANTA CLAUS

The many faces of Santa

A one-on-one exclusive with the man in the red suit

BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer On a recent afternoon, I was able to connect with Santa Claus while he was in Slidell (to meet some little boys and girls), and we spoke briefly about his busy holiday work schedule, what he does when he’s not checking his lists and building toys, that sort of thing. Here are a few insights from my conversation with the man in red.

How do you prepare for the big night?

Santa: There’s a lot of different things.

But when it all comes down to it, I think about the red suit. When you put it on, it’s magical.

That naughty and nice list must be a chore. How do you keep it all straight?

It used to be a really big job, but now it’s all computerized. It’s one of the ways modern technology is helpful.

When do you get your last update on the naughty list before the big trip? Asking for a friend, of course.

It’s all digital now. I check it on Christmas Eve morning. It’s a tight window but pretty accurate.

I’ll let my friend know. (Said with a wink). Who handles all the checklists and scheduling? It’s a little mind-boggling when you think about it all.

Mrs. Claus takes care of the logistics.

She’s very valuable in the grand scheme of things and does a great job.

What do you do in the off-season? Do you have a hobby?

I play a little golf. Mainly, I like making toys.

You’re getting on in years, respectfully speaking.

When do you plan to retire?

I don’t have a retirement date in sight. I enjoy what I do.

When you visit a local event, like Christmas Under the Stars, and children come to talk to you, what are their most common wishes?

There’s a lot of requests for popular toys.

It changes from year to year. What is hard is when they ask for things I can’t control, like “when will Dad come home?” or “Mom

is sick, and can I make her better?”

That’s got to be tough. What do you do?

I do my best to give them hope that things will be better. It’s all I can do.

What do you do with all those letters to Santa?

The elves help me with the mail. The volume is tremendous.

Who’s your favorite reindeer?

Rudolph, of course. He guides the way.

I also make sure I have plenty of reindeer snacks for the others, so everyone’s happy.

Speaking of snacks, what do you carry in your sleigh to get you through the long night? Do you have an energy drink you prefer or coffee?

I don’t take much with me because of all the cookies and milk waiting for me. They keep me going.

What’s your favorite cookie?

That’s easy. Chunky chocolate chip.

What do you do on Dec. 26?

I snuggle in for a long winter’s nap.

Well, thanks for your time. I know you’re a busy man this time of year.

Very true. Merry Christmas to all!

Laiche will lead the Covington YMCA forward

BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer When you walk into the Covington YMCA, the first thing that grabs your attention is the blue and white wall of big words. Support. Connect. And the “be” statements: Be Active, Be Helpful, Be the Light.

Donna Laiche, the organization’s new executive director, says they all pertain to her philosophy for leading the YMCA forward.

“The big words on the wall are all true.

This is a great place for people to connect with each other and support each other,” she said.

Laiche has 14 years of experience with the Covington YMCA, and she got the nod to move up into the top job when Joey Roberts, the former executive director, left to take on the reins of the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany.

“Joey left us as a strong YMCA. I plan to build on that and not reinvent the wheel,”

said Laiche.

With approximately 4,000 members and a staff of about 40 Laiche sees the Y as, first and foremost, a community gathering place.

“Yes, we have great exercise equipment, and you can come here and get a great workout. What I love most of all is we are a place where people can gather together,” she said. On a recent morning, while there was a large contingent of people exercising on a row of treadmills and using weight machines, the lobby was filled with senior citizens enjoying coffee, a snack and conversation.

“We really are a community with a heartbeat of its own. We are here to serve people,” said Laiche.

Citing a strong work ethic, Laiche looks forward to the coming year and new opportunities.

“I love being here, and I know my faith in God will lead me in the right direction,” she said.

WREATHS TO REMEMBER

Veterans organizations, Scout troops, civic groups and other volunteers across the country are joining this month with the Wreaths Across America movement to honor military veterans by placing memorial wreaths at thousands of sites nationwide. In St. Tammany, for example, the Wharton Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution hosted a solemn gathering on Dec. 13 to place the simple green wreaths trimmed in red onto the graves of all military service members buried in Covington Cemetery No. 1 on Columbia Street.

Continued from page 1A children to believe in themselves and what they could do.

“Our kids need to know they can be anything they want to be and that the future in front of them is brighter than anything they can imagine,” he said.

His time as a high school coach led him to eventually becoming the executive director of the Covington YMCA. “The Y was my passion for many years. Technology is important, but it’s just as important for children to also simply play. I loved being part of a great team there. It’s a wonderful place for kids and families to get off the screens and be motivated to move and have fun,” he said.

Roberts has been the “Y Guy” for the past decade and says he’s ready for the new adventure.

“Just about everything I’ve worn for the past 10 years had the a ‘Y’ on it,” he said.

While he’s getting new shirts with the Children’s Museum logo above the pocket, ideas are flowing through his mind of programs he’d like to add to the museum’s offerings.

“I’m an artist, and I believe it is important to introduce children to art. Even the simple act of sketching on paper exposes them to shapes and light and shows them how we see the light can change everything. It’s kind of hard to describe, but drawing pictures can lead to life lessons. There’s a reason pencils have erasers. Letting children make mistakes and showing them how to correct them is how they can learn to handle problems,” stressed Roberts.

He understands the ups and downs of working within the nonprofit community.

Roberts looks to expand the programs offered at the museum and also raise awareness that the organization is a jewel for all St. Tammany

parish residents.

“Christy and the staff have taken the museum through some challenging times. I see the potential for what it could be in the future,” he said. The new executive director noted the need for space to grow the facility and connect with people and organizations parishwide who can help it meet new goals.

“The museum allows young children to come in and use their imagination in places like the kitchen or the swamp area. They can walk in as just a kid but walk out dreaming of being an astronaut or something equally cool. I want to look at things like junior leadership and public speaking programs.

These types of programs are opportunities for older children to have fun while learning,” he said.

Roberts is looking forward to working with the museum’s staff and building on what they have accomplished. He recognizes there will be some trial and

“One thing I learned from being a basketball coach is you have to work three steps ahead. Have a plan in place, give it a try and see how it works and be ready to reset

if you need to. Whether it’s art, sports or a children’s museum, I’ve found this is a good way to make decisions,” he said.

Roberts’ philosophy has been to leave the “Joey imprint” wherever he’s worked

or played, leaving that space better than he found it.

“My focus is on how to take the museum from where it is right now and lead it forward to what it can be. That’s my goal,” said Roberts.

Temporary agreement reached on courthouse security

BY BOB WARREN Staff writer

After weeks of back-and-forth over funding to cover the costs of St. Tammany Parish sheriff’s deputies who provide security at the parish courthouse and other buildings, St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper’s office issued a statement Dec. 17 saying the Sheriff’s Office would continue to provide courthouse security beyond the end of this year.

The announcement ends, at least temporarily, the specter of Sheriff Randy Smith pulling deputies from their courthouse security posts amid the dispute over money.

“Both St. Tammany Parish Government and Sheriff Randy Smith agree that security at the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center is critical, and therefore the Parish and Sheriff have agreed to continue their existing courthouse security contract while they resolve the current legal dispute over the funding of courthouse security,” the statement said. “Accordingly, security will continue to be provided by the Sheriff at the Justice Center in January as the parties work to resolve the dispute.”

St. Tammany’s tourism board approves budget

BY KADEE KRIEGER Contributing writer

The St. Tammany Parish Tourist and Convention Commission this month approved Visit the Northshore’s $3.6 million budget for 2026, including plans for the organization to continue its marketing and promotion efforts and finalize an accurate and effective Destination Master Plan.

The board approved the master plan during the September commission meeting, and during the October and December meetings, voted to amend the 2025 budget to partially fund the $325,000 project during the current calendar year. The remaining expense to Destinations International and MMGY NextFactor will draw from the 2026 budget.

The master plan will guide Visit the Northshore in its focus on growing tourism, supporting businesses and enhancing the visitor experience in St. Tammany for the next 10 years, said President and CEO Donna O’Daniels.

Tourism in 2025 generated more than $1.3 billion in visitor spending and sustains thousands of jobs throughout the parish.

The 2026 budget will take effect Jan. 1 and go through Dec. 31 next calendar year.

Commissioners on Dec. 11 attended a hearing on the proposed budget, then a regular meeting of the commission where they unanimously approved the spending plan. Those attending were Patti Ellish, chair; Alex Carollo, vice chair; Melissa Ruddick, secretary-treasurer; and commissioners Katherine Domingue, Mark Myers and Sharon Hewitt.

Overall revenue for the year is expected to be $3.3 million, which is an increase of about $500,000 from 2025, thanks to an extra percent added to the visitor occupancy tax.

The increase brought to 4% the

St. Tammany Parish Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax on the nightly rate for hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds. It accounts for the organization’s largest source of revenue and is expected to generate $2.5 million.

Anticipated expenses are $3.6 million. The remaining $345,850 will come from the commission’s existing general fund balance, which is projected to begin the 2026 calendar at just more than $4.7 million.

After salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits, Visit the Northshore expenses consist of a variety of marketing and promotion avenues.

The budget for 2026 includes advertising across both print and digital media; travel to trade events and conferences; website design and management; public relations projects including photography, video, graphic design and podcast production; marketing to an international audience; printing semiannual visitor guides and in-house brochures for special seasons and events; and producing logo items for groups and trade shows.

Also during the meeting, Visit the Northshore’s Chief Marketing Officer Katie Guasco presented the 2026 business plan, which details the marketing goals and objectives for the upcoming year.

The business plan introduced the marketing theme of “Float Awhile” that will incorporate seasonal campaigns to entice visitors to St. Tammany year-round.

Guasco said the marketing team will use the “Float Awhile” campaign to elevate signature events, showcase activities throughout each season, expand local stories on social media, spotlight local businesses and target new audiences for its All the Waves podcast.

Visit the Northshore earns awards

BY KADEE KRIEGER Contributing writer

Visit The Northshore, which serves as St. Tammany’s destination marketing organization, earned three prestigious awards for outstanding work in travel marketing during 2025 and will be formally recognized during a global celebration in February.

The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International awarded Visit the Northshore with three Bronze Adrian Awards, which highlights marketing across several media platforms and campaigns.

“Awards showcase the work that sets new standards in travel marketing, and winners represent the ingenuity and passion that continue to elevate the global travel experience,” said organization President and CEO Brian Hicks.

Visit the Northshore will be acknowledged at the 2025 Adrian Awards Celebration on Feb. 18, 2026, in New York.

“We are quite proud because our work was up against massive agencies, hotel chains and international organizations,” said Visit the Northshore Chief Marketing Officer Katie Guasco.

“To get just one is an honor, but to get three is truly amazing.”

Visit The Northshore received bronze recognition for its “Shore to Be” campaign, its All the Waves Podcast and its visitors guide, “The Northshore, Louisiana’s Easy Escape.”

The projects earned recognition because they supported Visit The Northshore’s efforts

Katie Guasco to promote St. Tammany Parish through clear messaging, community collaboration and datainformed strategies, Guasco said.

“The HSMAI Adrian Awards are the premier global travel marketing competition. We are standing out among destinations, agencies, and hospitality brands from around the world.”

Winning entries will be featured in the Adrian Awards Winners Gallery following the event.

For more information, about the awards visit adrianawards. hsmai.org.

In addition to the awards, two Visit the Northshore staff members also earned accolades for their work this year.

this month, asking a judge to require that the Sheriff’s Office keep its deputies at the courthouse.

Michael Vinsanau, a parish government spokesperson, said the agreement just covers the security detail at the courthouse, formally called the Justice Center.

He said the parish’s 2025 and 2026 budgets both include $1.2 million in funding for the courthouse security.

In a statement his office released later on Dec. 17, Smith said he agreed to continue to provide security until a scheduled Jan. 27 hearing in the lawsuit. “Security will be provided for the current contract amount plus a 5% in-

crease,” Smith’s statement said.

The Sheriff’s Office told parish government in October that it would terminate contracts with the parish to provide security at the courthouse, the Towers Building in Slidell and the Parish Government Complex near Mandeville, effective Jan. 1.

The Sheriff’s Office and parish government have been locked in a dispute over how much money the parish must pay for courthouse security, as well as how much the parish owes the Sheriff’s Office for medical expenses for inmates at the parish jail.

Parish government is required to help fund the jail, but the parish

has struggled to find that funding, as well as money for some other criminal justice costs it must cover.

The parish has said that under a July 2024 agreement, the Sheriff’s Office provides nine deputies and three supervisors at the courthouse between 6 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The agreement announced last week only covers security at the Justice Center. Vinsanau said starting in January the parish has an agreement with the Slidell Police Department to provide security at the Towers Building and a private company to handle security at the Parish Government Complex.

Folsom proved that a village can still celebrate Christmas, even though its beloved horse an wagon parade was canceled to protect village equines from potential exposure to an infectious disease found in some surrounding states.

Instead, friends and neighbors who wanted to venture out visited the craft fair or a low-key community Christmas festival the evening of Dec. 13.

There were no horses around, but there was plenty of people-to-people contact in Folsom.

Causeway opens third toll-tag-only lane on weekdays

BY BOB WARREN

Staff writer

Morning commutes across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway are typically orderly affairs — two lanes of vehicles driving the 24 miles over water.

But getting onto the bridge’s southbound span for the trip to the south shore can make drivers feel like they’re in the Frogger video game, as vehicles arriving at the toll plaza in Mandeville jockey for one of the two tagonly lanes.

Hoping to improve the flow of traffic entering the southbound span on weekday mornings, the Causeway opened a third dedicated lane for the bridge’s nearly 75,000 toll tag holders at 4 a.m. on Dec. 17.

Lane 4 at the toll plaza became a tag-only lane between 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“Hopefully, we’ll get people onto the bridge a little quicker and easier,” Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said, noting that nearly 20,000 vehicles are driven across the lake on some busy mornings.

Five lanes are typically open at the toll plaza on weekday mornings. As drivers pass through the toll plaza, the lanes are funneled into the two lanes of the southbound span.

While all lanes at the plaza can read toll tags, for years only two have been dedicated solely to toll tag holders. But now lanes 2, 4 and 5 will be dedicated to tag users alone.

The new lane configuration will not only help get vehicles onto the span quicker, it might also spur additional drivers to obtain toll tags. There are two advantages to having a toll tag: It allows entry onto the Causeway without having to stop and pay the toll, and it drastically cuts the cost of the trip across Lake Pontchartrain.

For most vehicles, the Causeway toll is $6.

Vehicles enter the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway toll plaza in Mandeville.

Tag users cross for $3.40.

“That’s not insignificant,” Dufrechou said.

“If you’re still using cash, please, please consider getting a tag.”

Dufrechou said Thursdays have become the heaviest traffic day on the bridge, with around 19,000 vehicles passing through the toll plaza for the trip south. But weekends have also gotten busier, he said, with around 13,000 vehicles on Saturdays.

Tolls are collected only for vehicles entering the southbound span. Northbound tolls were discontinued in 1999.

deville in the coming months, bringing yet another big change to the northshore’s evolving grocery landscape.

Mandeville Mayor Clay Madden announced the plans in a Facebook post, noting that he and other elected officials often hear from constituents who for years have pushed for the popular chain to open a store in St. Tammany Parish. Madden said the company had recently filed for city permits for the store.

It is planned for an empty storefront that was most recently a HomeGoods location in the Pontchartrain Square shopping center along the busy U.S. 190 commercial corridor through the city.

Trader Joe’s heading to Mandeville “Yes, the rumors are true,” Madden said in Trader Joe’s plans to open a store in Man- the post. “It is happening. How about that?”

FROM SHADOWS TO SPOTLIGHT The St. Tammany Parish social calendar is filled with important events throughout the year. We’ve asked organizers to help us highlight people who work behind the scenes to quietly make our most beloved events successful. We’re calling the feature “From Shadows to Spotlight” and let-

ting it be a reminder that not only is one of our area’s biggest events coming up, but also to remind readers the tremendous effect one caring person can have on our community. Be well!

Children’s Museum jump starts New Year’s Eve

BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer

The new year will kick off early in Mandeville at the Noon Year’s Eve Bash at the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, a Dec. 31 celebration for children whose bedtime is well before the usual midnight ball drop.

“This is something special for our littles. It’s hard for them to stay up late, so we help them celebrate the new year early,” said Marlo Christensen, the museum’s director of marketing and business development.

The Noon Year’s Eve Bash begins at 10 a.m. and features DJ music, kooky glasses and other favors and treats, according to Christensen. This is her fifth year helping to host the Bash along with Kaylin Coleman, the museum’s director of education and programming.

“My favorite part is just seeing the kids enjoying the party and their excitement during the countdown for the balloon drop. There are smiles everywhere,” she said.

Coleman, too, looks forward to the balloon drop and interacting with the children on the STEM activities that will be on hand, and she appreciates Christensen’s efforts promoting the event.

NOON YEAR’S EVE BASH WHAT: Child-friendly New Year’s Eve party sponsored by the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany. Play stations, DJ spinning tunes, party favors and treats, and a noon countdown and balloon drop.

WHERE: Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, 813 Florida St., Mandeville WHEN: Wednesday, Dec. 31, 10 a.m. to noon HOW MUCH: $15/person 12 months of age or older. Reservations required; online at https://cmstkids.doubleknot.com/event/ noon-years-eve-bash-2025/3126240 MORE INFO: Go to www.cmstkids.org or call (985) 888-1555.

“She’s been a great asset in getting the word out about the Bash.”

A spokesperson for Trader Joe’s, Nakia Rohde, confirmed that the company was coming to Mandeville, but had little other information available.

Bryan Pigeon of Nations Real Estate Services, which operates the shopping center, said that Trader Joe’s will lease 25,000 square feet of space.

“We’re excited about it,” Pigeon said. “Everybody’s been wanting a Trader Joe’s and we’re getting one.”

Pigeon said he thought the store might open sometime by mid-2026.

Trader Joe’s, based in California, opened a store in Metairie in 2016, and followed that with a New Orleans location that opened last August. It has another New Orleans store in the works and has operated a Baton Rouge location since 2013.

The Mandeville store would be the popular chain’s first northshore location and comes as the grocery business in St. Tammany Parish is undergoing big shifts.

Two former Winn-Dixie stores in Slidell were recently transformed into Aldi locations, part of Aldi’s ambitious expansion plans that will add 800 new stores across the U.S. Meanwhile, Rouses Markets recently announced that it would purchase 10 WinnDixie locations across the metro region that would become Rouses stores. Stores in Mandeville and Covington were among the 10 Winn-Dixie stores Rouses purchased.

Madden, in his video, said the time frame hasn’t been disclosed and that there are many things over which the city has no control. But, he added, the city will do all it can to help clear the way.

Madden also said there are plans to refurbish the Pontchartrain Square parking lot. Pigeon added he is looking for a tenant to lease 12,500 square feet of space next to where the new store will be located.

Hoping you feel the light this holiday season It’s here.

The necessary shopping and preparations are hopefully over now.

Reflecting on the considerable number of Christmas Eves I’ve experienced, I can say that each year has marked a gradual shifting of expectations, changes in the experience of the day itself, that a common, identifiable Margaret thread has run through evAlbert ery one of them, up to and including this one.

Like many youngsters, I was caught up anticipating what might appear under the tree and in my stocking. The sheer excitement made sleeping almost impossible that night. Once the Santa myth was dispelled, the next morning became not so much a disappointment, but a feeling that there should be more to Christmas morning. The nuns at school had been working hard at it with us, and I bought it all, but I wasn’t feeling it.

By the time I was in middle school, my mother decided I was old enough to accompany her to midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and sit with her while she sang in the church choir. I have always loved listening to and singing carols, but this night connected music and Christmas so deeply that it took my breath away. I felt a sense of sacred wonder and welcomed celebrating it.

That Christmas morning, I was still feeling the radiance and warmth of the night before. There was no ambivalence about celebrating when I woke up.

It was a Christmas Eve that opened my eyes and my world. Sacred music became and still is my most expressive and satisfying form of prayer. The discovery of

what I had been seeking did not become evident until I could fully experience it, until I could FEEL it. Did I realize all of this at 10 years old? Of course not. But I could feel it, and until I could begin to accept the mystery, that feeling was good enough for a fifth grader.

I’ll admit I’ve always been a bit of a drama queen, but this wasn’t a here today/gone tomorrow thing. It was hanging around even past Christmas.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the observations of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Solstice all share a celebration of light, and there are those of us who celebrate one another during this season.

The different faith traditions have their own individual customs to commemorate the holiday, and there is even a postholiday period encouraging us to fan the flame.

Whatever you’re celebrating today, I hope you discover what it is that allows you to feel the light. And if you’ve already made that discovery, wallow in it, then pass it around.

It’s Christmas Past, again, in Old Mandeville

Santa is real.

I know him.

As my fifth grader barged through the door after school one day, chatty as ever, she bombarded me with the statement I have been anticipating for years.

“Google says Santa isn’t real,” she declared.

I had a funny feeling this would be coming soon. This is about the age I started to question things, too, and perhaps Jessica the first time I realized my Saggio argument skills would make for good persuasive column-writing one day. No one went to bat for Santa harder than fifth grade Jessica. And she was well researched.

The other kids can be convincing, but I knew then — and I know now — Santa is real.

“Since when do we believe everything we see on the internet?” I retorted. “Google is wrong all the time.”

Deciding whether I would pursue a lecture on proper sourcing or the topic of Santa itself, I chose the latter.

“You know I know him,” I said. I’ve been telling her for years that I personally know Santa, and I do. Nice person. Likes snacks.

Gets winded after going up a flight of stairs.

We have a lot in common.

There are perks to being a journalist. I’ve interviewed him. Actually, I’ve interviewed him many times. You wouldn’t believe how many good deeds he’s doing all year long. He either has a heart of gold or he just loves the publicity. Santa is always creeping into the news.

But Santa doesn’t always look like Santa, and I think that’s where our kids get confused.

You see, we’ve sold a caricature of him. Santa isn’t just a person, although he is definitely a person. He’s a feeling. He’s a spirit. He’s a symbol. Santa is most definitely real, you just have to look for him and be open to the fact that he may not be wearing a red suit or have a long, white beard.

Just the other day, I met Santa when he was taking a break at Thanksgiving to smoke 100 turkeys for those facing financial hardship. It was incredible. He spent the whole day leading a team at Aldersgate United Methodist right here on the northshore so they could distribute 1,400 meals that day. Some say he’s not magical, but that sounds pretty magical to me.

Then there was that time I interviewed him around Veterans Day. He had set up a home for struggling veterans to get back on their feet, regardless of mistakes they had made in their past. He even helped stage a “sleep out” to show the community just how hard it is to be homeless. I couldn’t believe he was so active in his offseason, but here he was!

But at Christmastime, he’s absolutely everywhere in plain sight. The man does not rest.

You just have to open your eyes and really look for him. There is good happening all over, and there he is! Did you see him? Look again.

He’s with the mom who is trying to make every holiday experience magical. He’s with the teacher working overtime to make the season special for other children. He’s with the dad, balancing on top of the roof to hang the Christmas lights. He’s with the police officer out handing out new toys and shoes to kids in need.

Did you see him? I’m telling you, he’s not always wearing red, but he’s there.

So sure, Google may think it has all the answers. But it’s got this one dead wrong.

Santa is real. I know him.

And I’d venture to say, if you look hard enough, you know him, too.

Northlake’s Ava Dale uses fierce intensity to hit milestone

Indest steps down after 4 seasons

Staff writer

When Brent Indest came to Lakeshore in the summer of 2022, the long-time football coach said he missed the competition on the football field after a two-year coaching hiatus.

That pent-up fire yielded immediate results as Indest built a 3315 record with two quarterfinal appearances over the past four seasons.

But as fulfilling as his Lakeshore experience has been, Indest said the pull to be closer to home was strong, and that desire to “return home” finally won out.

The coach announced to his players on Dec. 17 that he will be leaving Lakeshore to become the head coach at Abbeville, where he started his football coaching career more than 30 years ago.

“It’s been a great four years; it’s been a great experience,”

Northlake Christian guard Ava Dale knows exactly what she looks like when people watch her play.

The 5-foot-6 guard calls herself a “defensive demon” and plays with an intense focus that looks anything but fun. But looks can be deceiving.

“I just love basketball,” Dale said. “I’ve played since I was 5 at the playground and stuff like that. It just brings me joy. I know I look angry on the court, and I will always look angry, but I have a lot of fun out there. I would not choose any other sport.”

Dale joined the Northlake varsity squad in seventh grade and became a starter as an eighth grader. Now, PROVIDED PHOTO she hit a special milestone — the fiery senior recently eclipsed 1,000 career points.

Four Lakeshore athletes pick next destinations

BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Lakeshore’s Dec. 16 college signing class included a football standout, a soccer player and a pair of softball teammates.

Titans’ safety Cade Stevens is headed to the NAIA’s Kansas Wesleyan University in Saline, Kansas.

Stevens, who was a 3-year starter, said the Coyotes offered him a chance to compete for a starting spot immediately.

“They recruited me late, but they loved me and showed me respect,” Stevens said. “I built a great relationship with every coach there, and that’s what I really liked. Secondly, I’ll have an opportunity to play. I’ll get the chance to go in there for spring ball and show out.”

During his time at Lakeshore, he amassed 178 tackles, seven PBUs, three interceptions, three fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and three interceptions.

brate it,” Stevens said. “It’s a great chance to get an early start on my college career and have some fun.

My dad played football, and I just wanted to follow in his footsteps. I always knew that I wanted to play college football.”

Lakeshore soccer player Londyn Guillot is headed to Division III Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi.

“It was the first camp I went to, and I just fell in love with the college,” Guillot said. “I’d like to thank Jesus for where I’m at right now, and I couldn’t do this without Coach Wes (Leake) and my parents, because they pushed me as a player PHOTO BY HERB GOMEZ to improve.

Ray, who started playing softball at age 4, said the Majors offered a perfect combination of academics and athletics.

“I love the campus. I love the coach, and it’s just a positive vibe that I want to be a part of,” Ray said. “Softball has taught me a lot of things in life, and I just love the sport. Softball has always been my focus, so I want to keep growing and getting better. It’s where I find my peace.”

Gaudet, who also plays goalkeeper on the soccer team, said she decided to follow her passion for softball to play at the next level.

“I’ve put in a lot of work, so I’m excited that it is all paying off,” Gaudet said. “I really liked the culture that they have and the team aspect of the program. It’s a smaller school, so I think that is a good fit for me. I’ve played softball my whole life, and I want to keep growing from here.”

Northlake’s Tujague scores 4 goals as the Wolverines continue their hot start

BY MIKE PERVEL Contributing writer

Northlake Christian senior Stevie Tujague has been an integral part of the Wolverines’ soccer program for the past five years.

He showed why on Dec. 16 as the senior scored four goals to help Northlake cruise to a dominating 7-0 victory over Haynes.

“I’ve never scored four goals in a match, so this was very special,” said Tujague, who now has 10 goals on the season. “I couldn’t have done it without the excellent play and passing from Harry (Wall) and Braden (Finklea).

I owe them the credit as well as the rest of my unselfish teammates. This is a great team win for us. We’re just taking it game by game, and we’re growing as a team, becoming squeaky fast.”

Northlake controlled the tempo from start to finish, scoring twice in the first 16 minutes — both by Tujague.

The first goal came in the 12th minute on a perfectly timed cross from Braden Finklea. Four minutes later, Tujague buried a rebound shot for a 2-0 lead.

The Wolverines (5-1) pushed the advantage to 3-0 in the 20th minute, with sophomore Harry Wall find-

ing the back of the net, assisted by Gabriel Hernandez-Gonzalez.

Wall, a St. Paul’s transfer and the Wolverines’ leading scorer with 11 goals, finished with two goals and two assists, demonstrating his resiliency after clanking two short-range shot attempts off the crossbar.

“After hitting the crossbar twice, it felt good to finally finish. I just love to compete, and we have a very unselfish team. We did a great job possessing the ball, working for the best shot,” Wall said.

“The team is very unselfish, and I feel we have a good chance to go far and win it.”

Wolverines’ coach Nick Chetta said he was proud of his team’s fourth shutout at home.

“Our motto is to start fast and stay strong. The boys got off to a quick start, and that’s what I feel they need to do. It’s always less pressure playing with the lead as opposed to trying to come from behind, which takes so much energy. We built the early momentum and did a tremendous job possessing the ball throughout,” Chetta said.

“They’re playing unselfishly. I was encouraged by how they were attacking and

how they created excellent scoring chances for each other.”

Northlake continued that dominance in the second half, scoring three goals in a six-minute span to put the match away.

Wall scored his second goal in the 52nd minute. His initial shot clanked off the crossbar, but senior Mason Lampard gained control and found Wall, who beat the keeper.

Tujague scored his third and fourth goals just two minutes apart, coming in the 56th and 58th minutes, as Wall assisted on his final goal. Calix Renz closed out the scoring in the 70th minute with Wall delivering his second assist.

Despite the dominating performance, NCS was playing without two starters (Ace Milliet and Gavin Clasen), and Finklea, normally an attacker, switched to center back in their absence.

“We trust each other, and we’re communicating really well,” Finklea said. “We stayed disciplined throughout the game, playing as a team. It’s a big shutout victory, and we want to keep that four-game scoreless streak going here at home.”

Volleyball coach Taylor Ricaud heads to PJP II after 11 years at Mount Carmel

BY JOSEPH HALM

Staff writer

Pope John Paul II has a new volleyball coach, and it’s a very experienced hire.

School administration announced on Dec. 18 that former Mount Carmel coach Taylor Ricaud will be the Jaguars’ next head coach.

“I live in Slidell, and we’ve been here for about seven years,” Ricaud said. “My son is starting school over there, so it is easier for me to be close to home. It’s

a fresh, new start. I’ve been at Mount Carmel for the past 11 seasons, and I really enjoyed it.

It was just time for a fresh start with a different group of athletes.

I’m excited to head over to Pope and help them build the program.”

Ricaud has been on the Mount Carmel volleyball coaching staff since 2015 and served as head coach for the last three seasons.

Mount Carmel was her first head coaching stop, where she amassed a 108-25 record and led the team to two state semifinal appearances.

In addition, Ricaud, who will teach PE, has spent the past eight years coaching club volleyball with WD Nation.

“I am most excited to rebuild the program while instilling confidence in our girls, helping them grow as athletes, and believe that through hard work and faith, they can achieve anything,” Ricaud said.

She is a graduate of Cabrini High School and Southeastern Louisiana University. She also won a state title with Cabrini during her junior season in 2011.

PJP II athletic director Richard Dieudonné said Ricaud’s leadership abilities set her apart.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Coach Ricaud as part of the Jaguar Family. Her résumé and vision are a perfect match for what we are looking for in a leader for our female athletes,” Dieudonné said.

Ricaud takes over for Erica Williams, who is now the head coach at Cabrini. Williams amassed a 60-48 record in her three seasons at PJP II, including a quarterfinal appearance.

CALEB LARSON, LAKESHORE, SENIOR The All-District 7-4A firstteam defensive back selection was a force for the Titans on defense. First, let’s go through the stats — 42 total tackles, four TFLs, three forced fumbles, two interceptions and two fumble returns for touchdowns. It was Larson’s versatility that set him apart, according to coach Brent Indest. Larson never seemed to be out of position and was the steadying force on a defense that allowed just 16 points per game during the regular season.

While the numbers might not be as eye-popping as some of the others’ on this list, he was simply the most important defensive player on a very good Lakeshore team.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR CODY CORALES, ST. PAUL’S, SENIOR The Southeastern signee was simply exceptional for the Wolves as he finished his high school career with three straight unbeaten District 6-5A titles.

The 6-foot, 190-pound running back racked up 1,588 yards and 20 TDs on 176 carries. He averaged nine yards per carry. He was nearly unstoppable with the ball in his hands.. He also caught 19 passes for 239 yards and four TDs.

COACH OF THE YEAR DAMON PAGE, SLIDELL If you ask Coach Page about Slidell’s 2025 season, he would tell you that the Tigers have a lot of things to improve on, and he’s right. What he will down play is that Slidell won six regular-season games after managing just two wins in his first season. That’s some very impressive improvement. The Tigers also shared the District 7-5A with Salmen as the Tigers dismantled Northshore, 42-3, in Week 10 to lock Page up that district title. It was quite the turnaround. The Tigers were a much improved team in 2025, and Page and his staff deserve a lot of credit for that improvement.
