FLYING HIGH IN ST. TAMMANY SKIES

BY KADEE KRIEGER Contributing writer

A 13-year-old’s artwork depicting the St. Tammany Parish Fair as a classic, nostalgic community tradition captured the attention and hearts of the Fair Association and earned her the distinction of becoming the youngest ever official fair poster artist. Camila Grunkowski, of Slidell, an eighthgrader at Pope John Paul II High School, unveiled her poster Sept. 14 at the St. Tammany Parish Fair offices at the St. Tammany Parish Fairgrounds in Covington, the same site that will host this year’s fair on Sept. 30-Oct. 4. She said her piece is in a “storybook vintage” style that makes farm animals the focal point, while still reflecting the event’s community spirit. “I wanted to show the animals individually, but also (show) that the fair is a time for everyone to come together and have fun,” she said. “It is such a fun time for kids, and the piece reflects a storybook look for the kids’ side of the fair.” Camila’s mother, Ana, said the family moved to St. Tammany from Wisconsin, where they regularly attended state fairs. They began attending the St. Tammany Parish Fair right away and loved making memories there as a family, she said. Camila actually submitted her poster two years ago as part of the student poster

Continued from page 1A vacated by Zaunbrecher. Incumbent 22nd JDC judges Alan Black, Tara Zeller, John Keller, Vincent Lobello, Ellen Creel, Patti Oppenheim, and Dawn Amacker were reelected without opposition. Meanwhile, two local attorneys were elected to the 22nd JDC judiciary without opposition — Blair Alford in Division C, who will replace retiring Judge Richard Swartz; and Michael Cochran in Division I, replacing Judge Reggie Badeaux. Early voting for the Nov. 3 elections will be Oct. 20-27, excluding Sunday Oct. 25. All candidates in the three judicial races are Republicans.

Division E Michele Moore Echols Echols is a Slidell native whose campaign has highlighted her legal experience and deep roots in St. Tammany Parish. She claims more than 25 years of experience serving clients and advocating for the community’s most vulnerable citizens. Her campaign literature outlines how her personal responsibility, integrity, and faith were honed while working in her family’s small business, Mike’s Hardware & Building Supply, Inc. After earning her law degree from Loyola University and a master’s degree from the University of Florida School of Law, Echols began her legal career with the Louisiana Supreme Court, where she reviewed civil cases for the justices. She later spent more than two decades of her legal career in tax, business, estate planning, and civil litigation, working at Hickey & Riess, Gill & Keiffer and Litchﬁeld Cavo. She is now an “of counsel” lawyer at Blue Williams in Mandeville. As a mother whose children reside on the northshore, Echols says she wants to ensure that local communities remain great places to raise a family. “This is where my family’s history is written and where my children and grandchildren are building their futures,” she said. “I come from a proud line of local entrepreneurs who poured their hearts into building and strengthening this community. Carrying that legacy forward is both an honor and a responsibility.” Cameron Mary With 29 years of experience as a prosecutor, defense attorney and civil litigator, Mary says he understands the impact courtroom decisions have on families, businesses, victims, defendants, and communities. Mary’s campaign literature says “The people of St. Tammany and Washington Parishes deserve a judge who is ready on day one.” Mary says he has served as lead counsel in more than 150 jury trials and countless bench trials, handling the types of cases that give him a deep understanding of the justice system. “That balanced experience matters,” he said. “A judge must understand the law, the courtroom, and the responsibilities of every person who appears before the court.” Mary, who received his law degree from Loyola University in 1997, started his legal career as an assistant district attorney in Jefferson Parish before working as an associate at several local law ﬁrms. Since 2006 he has been a partner at Mandeville-based Brown & Mary LLC.

Division G Ben Clayton Over the past 39 years, Clayton has been a resident at different times of both St. Tammany and Washington parishes and has operated a law ofﬁce in both parishes. As such, he says he understands the needs of the citizens of both parishes. Clayton received his law degree from Loyola University in 1986 and has since tried cases in state and federal courts both as a plaintiff and defense attorney. He has owned and managed his own law firm for 26 years and has experience

As an ordained minister in a non-denominational church, Clayton said as a judge he “will be guided by the laws of our state and the Scriptural mandate …” Clayton said he purposefully decided to run for the District G bench, which handles cases involving juveniles. “My decision to become a candidate for District Court Judge was the product of much prayer over the course of time,” he said. “The decision was not made hastily or without much consideration and counsel.” Jason Cuccia As a career prosecutor, Cuccia has 15 years of experience and 120 jury trials on his résumé. If elected, the Tulane University Law School graduate says he will apply the law as written, hold criminals accountable and serve with professionalism and integrity. He believes the courtroom should be a place of order and accountability, where judges respect the separation of powers, and never legislate from the bench. “I am running for judge because I believe the people of our district deserve a courtroom that is professional, ethical and fair,” Cuccia said. “I will bring the same commitment to justice and integrity that has guided my work as a prosecutor.” Cuccia and his wife, Beth, a teacher, have three daugh-

ters. They are active members of First Baptist Church of Covington. “This is home,” Cuccia says in campaign ads. “Serving it well is personal, not political.” Theo Jones Jones says he has worn many hats over the years: military, journalist, public defender, civil defense attorney, maintenance worker, retail grocery associate and service industry professional among them. Now, he says he’s ready to bring all that experience and principled leadership to the bench. Born in Bogalusa and raised in Franklinton, Jones said his varied background formed in him the core values of faith, hard work, accountability and respect. The U.S. Army veteran is a former print and broadcast journalist, experience he said allows him to perform under pressure, communicate clearly, and deliver accurate information under time constraints. As an attorney, the Southern University Law School graduate says he possesses both civil and criminal litigation experience and is accustomed to handling high volume caseloads. He believes justice must never be political, personal or performative; it must be consistent, impartial, and guided by the law. “No politics. No agendas. Just an unwavering commitment to justice, the rule of law and the people of the northshore,” he said. Amanda Trosclair Highlighting her experience as a longtime attorney and former support enforce-

Trosclair says she can manage complex criminal, juvenile, and civil dockets and has served “from every side of the courtroom.” That experience, along with an unwavering commitment to public safety and community well-being, makes her a top candidate for the bench, her campaign literature says. “A judge should have experience and understand the courtroom from more than

Whitney Germany A lifelong resident of St. Tammany Parish, Germany says her legal career has provided her a 360-degree perspective on justice in the 22nd Judicial District. “My experience in prosecution, court administration, and defense has given me a profound respect for the rule of law,” she said. “As a judge, I will ensure our courts remain efficient and that justice is served with balance and integrity.” A graduate of Loyola Law School, Germany served as a deputy court administrator in the 22nd JDC from 2016-2018 before prosecuting criminal cases as an assistant district attorney for four years. From 2023-2025, she worked as a civil and litigation attorney at Wynne & Goux law firm in Covington, represented clients in family law, personal injury, and contract law. She also worked as an assistant public defender before stepping away to run for office. Beyond the courtroom, Germany says she is devoted to her family and faith. She and her husband, Erik, have three daughters. Germany is an active parishioner at St. Peter Catholic Church and volunteers as a school “room mom” and youth soccer coach. Luke Lancaster Born and raised in Oak Grove, Louisiana, Lancaster earned a law degree from Loyola University before serving as a Louisiana Assistant Attorney General, defending Louisiana’s doctors and hospitals. Since 2016, he has worked as an assistant district attorney in the 22nd Judicial District, prosecuting felony cases ranging from murders and sexual assaults to child abuse and domestic violence. His father, Mack Lancaster, served as District Attorney for Louisiana’s 5th Judicial District, which serves Franklin, Richland and West Carroll parishes. At a campaign appearance in late August, the candidate said he believes the 22nd JDC bench is at a crossroads, losing five experienced judges at one time when their terms end in December. He said the high turnover may be unprecedented for the district and signals the need for strong leaders to step forward. “My parents taught me as a young child you don’t get to complain about something later if you’re not willing to do something about it now,” he said. “I am willing to do something about it now.”

CANCER

Continued from page 1A Rudolph’s name has long been associated with cancer and St. Tammany, but not as a patient. Her fulltime job is raising money for the hospital’s foundation and planning and executing the signature St. Tammany Foundation-hosted event called The Gala. The St. Tammany Cancer Center is a campus that integrates Ochsner Health, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the St. Tammany Health System, and the system’s foundation raises money to benefit its patients and patient programs. The Gala, specifically, raises money to help individuals with cancer get to their treatments, pay for treatments not covered by insurance, and receive food, if needed. “The beautiful irony of it is that it’s your job to help raise money for people with cancer and to create this experience for cancer patients, to support the quality of care and the amazing team members over there — she does this for a living,” said Nicole D. Suhre, executive director of St. Tammany Health Foundation. “To have that be what you do, and then to find yourself on the other end as the recipient, is something no one wants. But I think it makes her an even better fundraiser now, and it makes her an even better advocate for our services, because she knows what it’s like to be one of our patients now.”

This year’s goal is to raise $250,000, and more than $150,000 has already been donated toward that benchmark. No one is more grateful than Rudolph’s husband, Zack. “It’s the best news we could have ever hoped for, considering the way things started,” he said. “I don’t know that either one of us expected to ever hear those words ‘no evidence of disease,’ so it … it brings me to tears right now, just thinking about it. Here we are two years into it, and all the trauma, and everything she went through, we went through, to hear those words. It took the weight off.” The weight was heavy. Rudolph endured a brain bleed after diagnosis and was temporarily paralyzed on one side of her body. She used a wheelchair and walker, which still is folded up in the corner of her of-

She returned to work in a part-time capacity but eventually was healthy enough to be back full-time and prepare The Gala this year. “I do think it was part of her recovery, too, because she truly loves what she does … and she contributes so much to this community, I think it helped. I think it was instrumental in her overall recovery,” Suhre said. “What we do has such a sense of purpose behind it. I look at her sometimes and I’m just like, I can’t believe you’re here. She’s so strong.” Rudolph is even more convicted and dedicated to her career after cancer. “I think this has fueled me to continue to do what

I do. It is just so important that we continue funding and do everything that we possibly can to hopefully one day ﬁnd a cure for cancer,” she said. When the doors open to the “future” at The Gala this year, it will have a loaded meaning for the Rudolph family. “She started her career through American Cancer Society, because of what she watched her grandfather go through with pancreatic cancer (in 2010),” Zack Rudolph said. “So,

this has always been her passion — raising money for those type programs to assist cancer patients. It’s really come full circle. And with the amount of time we’ve spent at the St. Tammany Cancer Center, I don’t think there’s a better organization to try to raise money for. That place is pretty incredible, and to get that level of care, you know, right here at home, and to have a direct line to MD Anderson right here in Covington, it’s pretty special.”

ELECTION

School Board could have nine new members At least five newcomers will take office in January

BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

Members of the St. Tammany Parish School Board will serve a unique fiveyear term beginning in January 2027 — instead of the normal four years — which could play a role in the seven races up for grabs in the Nov. 3 election. The board recently voted for a one-time change in the length of the next term so they can get in line with other larger elections across the state and parish. That includes 2031, when a governor’s race is scheduled to be held along with another run for St. Tammany Parish president. Of the 15 seats, a minimum of five will be held by new members, and it could be as many as nine, as four of the seven races involve incumbents. Eight districts — 2 (Roslyn Hanson), 3 (Adaline Rutherford), 4 (Kalinda Fauntleroy), 8 (Mike Peterson), 10 (Nichole Balser), 13 (James Braud), 14 (Ronald Randolph) and 15 (Michelle Gallaher Ruffino) had just one qualifier, and they automatically earn a seat. All are incumbents except Balser (who will succeed Debroah McCollum) and Randolph (who takes over for Dennis Cousin) are incumbents. Today, the St. Tammany Farmer previews the races in districts 1, 7, 11 and 12. Previews on elections in districts 5, 6 and 9 will appear in the Sept. 30 edition of the Farmer.

DISTRICT 1 Includes parts of western Mandeville, including Beau Chene and areas south of La. 22. Geoff Hingle Hingle, 39, is a project manager for a consulting ﬁrm, serving regional and national construction companies. And he says his experience in that ﬁeld helps prepare him to be on the school board, along with being “politics adjacent,” in being a part of the Beau Chene HOA, which serves 4,500 residents. Besides that, Hingle says he has “worked closely” with local political leaders, including St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper, Covington Mayor Mark Johnson and state representative Kim Carver. He was asked to run by longtime District 1 representative Neal Hennegan, who served the board from 1994 to 2018. He stresses his respect for educators — his mother and mother-in-law both are teachers — but he says it is important for some outside voices to be on the board. “I am a product of the schools here, and I have three young children in them, so I am invested in them,” Hingle said. “I see how much of our money goes into the school system, and this is no knock on teachers … but I feel an employer who is the largest in the parish and deals with 46% of our property-tax take in St. Tammany needs to have oversight from more than just teachers.” Brandi Lopez Lopez, 43, is a former teacher, including nine years served in the St. Tammany Parish public school system. She currently is a cantor at St. Anselm in Madisonville and Mary, Queen of Peace in Mandeville and is a stay-at-home parent. She stresses her work as a teacher and being the mother of three kids has prepared her to be on the board, and her main reason for running is her concern for school system’s continued drop in state rankings.

I think we need to look at behaviors, and there needs to be accountability and consequences to they can learn.” Lopez and Hingle are Republicans.

DISTRICT 7 Takes in Lacombe and stretches west toward the eastern edge of Mandeville. Ben Banchs Banchs, 52, is a union representative for federal employees of the Department of Defense and spent 27 years in the Army National Guard as a mainte-

nance mechanic, working on F-15 ﬁghter jets. He also is active in the local music scene as a lead singer for three bands. His interest in the school board began almost two decades ago when boundaries were being drawn for Lakeshore High School, and later he became involved in bargaining rights between the school system and teacher’s federation. Banchs said his top reasons for running are to address teacher pay and school safety. The recent events at Lyon Elementary, in which two school administrators pled guilty to misdemeanor charges of failure to report, are unacceptable, he said. “I’m a big accountability guy, and this plays into everything,” he said. “You cannot have a successful school district if you don’t have a safe school district. Everything ﬂows from the top down.” (I) Isabelle Moore Moore, 77, is a retired educator, who spent nearly four decades in the Orleans, Jefferson and St. Tammany Par-

ish school systems. Her last 10 years were spent as principal at Mandeville Elementary, a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award winner. She has spent the past ﬁve years on the school board, since taking over an unexpired term for Shelta Richardson in 2021 and winning her own term in 2022 and says she has “found the work to be rewarding.” Much of her week before Thursday board meetings includes revieing the agendas, conducting research and verifying facts to “have everything I need to make informed decisions.” “We obviously need to be ﬁscally responsible,” Moore said. “When I took over in 2021 on a temporary basis, I did it because I knew it was a test. I liked it, and I feel like I accomplished quite a bit. I love going back to the schools and being with the kids — helping the kids.” Moore is a Republican; Banchs is a No Party candidate.

DISTRICT 11 The coverage area includes parts of western Slidell, including the Eden Isles neighborhood. Pamela Hotard Hotard, 67, is a retired music teacher who spent 43 years in a classroom with more than half of that time at Clearwood Junior High near Slidell. She primarily was a vocal and piano teacher, along with leading the choir, but she also taught special education classes and American history. Despite retiring, she said “I still have more to give to education.” When she learned current District 11 rep Tammy Lamy decided not to run for re-election, Hotard said, “it felt like a good opportunity.” She “faithfully” watches the school board meetings and occasionally attends in person. Among her chief areas of concern are improving teacher retention and maintaining a strong arts program. “When you look at programs to cut, we have to stay strong,” Hotard said. “We have so many great teachers and art teachers and music teachers. … I am passionate about what I do.” Bert Stephens Stephens, 66, worked in the pharmaceutical sales business for 27 years, including a large chunk of time on the management team serving as a “change agent” with team building and morale improvement. He also served as a baseball coach for Meridian (Miss.) Community College for eight years and at Northshore High School for six years, and he worked as a career coach at Lakeshore

High from 2024 through this past school year. Stephens considered a school board run for the past 12 years. He said because so much of the school district’s approximate $500 million budget is earmarked for employee salaries, benefits and retirement, his chief concern is that remaining money be spent wisely. “Out of a $500 million budget, we have just $80 million left to spend (annually). I think it’s critically important we spend that money in the right places.” Along with prepping college-bound students, Stephens stressed the importance of doing as good a job with those who want to work in trades or in the arts. “When I was a career coach, I really saw it,” he said. “It was very eye opening. … I also think we need to pay more attention to beautiﬁcation — we’re competing with other schools every day.” Hotard and Stephens are Republicans.

DISTRICT 12 Takes in much of the southeast portion of the parish, including parts of Slidell. (I) Michelle Hirstius Hirstius, 54, is a selfemployed writer and illustrator of children’s books. She also privately teaches painting classes and graphic design, helps develop social media pages for small businesses, has worked in real estate, as a recruiter in the legal industry and as a consultant. When she won the District 12 seat in 2022, she expected to be a one-term member of the board. Hirstius said she decided to run for a second term because “so many people got in touch with me — teachers and school employees and said, ‘Please run again.’ And there’s still so many things I want to do.” Among those things at the top of her list include nutrition for students and reducing screen time for students. Since being elected, Hirstius has been one of the more vocal members on the board, and she said it’s helped her develop relationships with those inside the school system. “I’m going to throw ideas out there, and if I need to go back to the drawing board to figure out another way to do something — or someone has a better idea, I don’t have a problem admitting that. ... The main thing is our teachers need to feel appreciated and valued.” Heath Panks Panks, 52, was born and raised in Slidell, and has spent nearly all of his career in sales — first in pharmaceuticals and currently with a construction and roofing company. He also was an assistant football coach at Northshore High School for 13 years. An All-State defensive lineman in football at Salmen High in 1992, he later played football at Alabama, where he earned a degree in education, and in the XFL. Panks is the nephew of Ronnie Panks, who served on the St. Tammany Parish School Board from 1994 until his death in January 2015. He said he is running to continue his desire to “give back to the community,” where he vows to “help in any way I can for students and faculty; that’s who I go to bat for.” Panks also says retaining teachers is key, and that “you don’t want 30 students in a class.” If elected, Panks said he would sit down with all the principals in his district and find out what their biggest concerns are and begin working on them. Panks and Hirstius both are Republicans. Jim Derry covers St. Tammany Parish, and has been part of The TimesPicayune staff for much of the past 36 years.

POSTER

Cooper recovering from mild stroke

Continued from page 1A contest for the 2024 fair, earning a rare first place overall award. In 2025, the St Tammany Parish Fair Association attended the Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals Convention, where Camila’s poster competed against student posters from across the state in their respective age divisions. She earned third place — the first St. Tammany Parish student to ever place at the state level. St. Tammany Parish Fair Association Vice President Melissa Dottolo, who served as the poster contest chair, said she fell in love with Camila’s piece when it was a submission in the student contest and recalled it immediately this July when the original 2026 fair poster artist unexpectedly canceled the commission awarded for this year’s fair poster. “At first, I panicked, but then realized that I had the perfect poster to represent the fair this year. It’s such a good fit, and I’m so pleased that (Camila) accepted the offer to serve as our poster artist,” Dottolo said. Camila said she almost didn’t enter the student contest two years ago, and that experience taught her an important lesson. “You should do things even when you are nervous or scared,” she said. The 2026 poster will be displayed at the fairgrounds and also featured on T-shirts and other official fair merchandise. In addition to the poster unveiling, fair President Matt Willie, along with Dottolo and

St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper suffered a mild stroke earlier this month and said he is recovering but “looks forward to getting back to my normal pace soon.” According to a social media post on Sept. 14, C o o p e r, 72, said a stress test Cooper he took several weeks ago indicated a blockage, resulting in the need for a stent in a “major artery.” The procedure was completed Sept. 8. He said he had planned to spend the rest of the week recuperating before returning to work. However, he said he “experienced an unexpected setback when I suffered a mild stroke, resulting in some numbness in my left hand and arm I continue to experience today.” The parish’s director of information, Michael Vinsanau, texted Sept. 14 that Cooper is continuing to handle his normal duties. Cooper said he will have a “noticeably lighter” schedule over the next few weeks and will limit his ofﬁce hours and time at meetings. Cooper, who took office as parish president in 2020, announced earlier this year that he will not seek a third term and will leave ofﬁce when this term expires in January 2028. But he said that until then, there is “still much work left to do.”

Camila Grunkowski, a 13-year-old eighth grader from Slidell, has this year become the youngest ever artist of the official St. Tammany Parish Fair poster. Attending fairs together has always been important to Camila and her family. It’s a family tradition and memory maker. They first attended state fairs in Wisconsin, and more recently, the St. Tammany Parish Fair after relocating to their new home state of Louisiana.

other fair officers, thanked board members and volunteers who work year-round to coordinate the fair. “We are excited to be able to continue the traditions, joy and fellowship that the fair brings our community,” Willie said. He named Clerk of Court Jessica Brewster as grand marshal and longtime volunteer Melinda Mizell as the 2026 honoree. Brewster praised the volunteer effort that it takes to put on the fair each year and said she cherishes her years of attending. “I can share amazing stories from my youth of coming to the fair, and so much of the beauty of the fair is represented here tonight,” she said. Among those attending the premiere party and poster reveal event were 2025 pageant winners in their last appearance before the 2026 pageant, which was to be held Sept. 19. They are Princess Miss St. Tammany Parish Fair Bry’Anna Jewel Morgan, Miss St. Tammany Parish Fair Madison Elizabeth Hogan and Jr. Miss St. Tammany Parish Fair Maycee Pleasant. The St. Tammany Parish Fair began in 1910 with a livestock show and pet exhibition. It now includes 16 pageants, a rodeo and rodeo queen, essay and poster contests, Kids Day, Gospel Night, parade, opening ceremony, cheer and dance competition, livestock competitions, exhibits, entertainment and carnival rides. The fair association awards nearly $25,000 annually in donations and scholarships. For more information, go online to www.sttammanyparishfair.info.

Abita sewage plant ready for prime time BY DAN LAWTON Contributing writer

A new sewage treatment plant in Abita Springs will be operational within weeks, the culmination of a multiyear effort to replace the town’s old plant that has been plagued by maintenance issues. At the town council meeting on Sept. 15, Danette Jenkins, the town’s water and sewer operator, said the plant is “100% complete and ready to go live.” Jenkins said the old plant, built in 1990, had numerous mechanical problems. Other parts of the town’s sewerage system were also faulty, such as cracked pipes and broken pumps. Those maintenance issues led to stormwater entering the system, dramatically increasing the amount of water the old plant had to process. “Instead of treating 250,000 gallons of water

per day, all of a sudden we were treating 1.5 million,” Jenkins said. The plant’s construction was primarily funded by a $5.7 million grant from the Louisiana Water Sector Program. As a condition of receiving the grant, the town raised water and sewer rates by about 15% last year. Jenkins said that in addition to the new plant, the town has repaired its pipes and improved its 18 lift stations, equipping them with 24-hour monitoring and security fences. The council also voted to accept a $125,000 state grant to renovate its town hall. While the scope of those renovations is not fully clear, one likely element is addressing the lack of accessible bathrooms. In other matters, during the meeting’s public comment period, two speakers voiced support for a parishwide sales tax proposal that

will be on the ballot Dec. 12. The tax would help fund the District Attorney’s Ofﬁce, the courts and repairs to the parish jail. One supporter was Brenda Lanier, who was the longtime owner of Abita Lumber. Lanier’s sister, Ruth Prats, was murdered in 2022 in Covington, along with the Rev. Otis Young, a retired pastor. The man who killed them both ultimately pleaded guilty to two counts of ﬁrst-degree murder and received a sentence of life imprisonment. Lanier said the District Attorney’s Office was extremely supportive of her family during the legal proceedings. “Both families were treated with the utmost respect and dignity,” Lanier said, adding that she fears if the tax proposal doesn’t pass, the parish will lose some of its highly skilled prosecutors.

Children’s Museum loses director; interim head steps up BY DARREN COOPER

Contributing writer

Less than nine months after taking over as executive director of the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, Joey Roberts left the job and is on the move once again. Roberts, former West St. Tammany YMCA director and current member of the Covington City Council, said his short stint with the museum was “amazing,” but he expressed a desire to explore more facets of his skill set. Already a wellknown artist, Roberts is increasingly in demand as a motivational speaker. He’s also working on a book currently titled “Blueprint for a Better Life.” “I call myself a human Post-It note because I can ﬁll in lots of different gaps,” he said. Roberts assumed museum directorship on Dec. 15, taking over for former director Christy Myers after she moved out of state. Now the museum’s board of directors are on the hunt again for another leader at the Mandeville-area attraction. Arianna Mace, former director of the Bayou Country Children’s Museum in

Arianna Mace steps up as interim director of the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany.

Thibodaux, was named interim executive director after Roberts’ departure. She previously worked with Children’s Museum of St. Tammany leaders on their overall strategic plan and hosted a retreat for staff members. She noted she is familiar with how the facility operates and knows its leaders well. “My job is to continue to hold the strong foundation for the museum in place and expand our programming with some of our partners (such as nearby Pelican Park) and our sponsors,” Mace said.

The search for a director is well underway and museum officials hope to locate a candidate with staying power. Mace said it shouldn’t be a difﬁcult task, noting that the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany provides a welcoming environment for local children and families. “Everyone there is so hands on,” said Mace. “There are great exhibits that showcase and connect to the area, and I think that is what is so great for parents and children. When you’re there, it’s not big enough to get lost, so you can have a really intimate experience and get play time with your family and friends when you go.” The museum is located in Pelican Plaza, 813 Florida St., on the eastern edge of Mandeville. It’s open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays. In addition to both permanent and rotating displays for children, the museum also hosts birthday parties, camps, ﬁeld trips and more. For more information, go online to www.cmst.org/.

FROM THE FILES OF THE FARMER 25 years ago Residents in Madisonville and Folsom will hold fundraisers this weekend for victims of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Madisonville will hold a gumbo cookoff Sunday at the town ballpark. Folsom will be conducting a can shake Friday and Saturday at the intersection of Louisiana highways 25 and 40. Proceeds of both events will be donated to the American Red Cross. Joyce Core, town clerk, said the fundraiser in Folsom is a community effort and not an arm of the town government. In Madisonville, all residents who want to enter the gumbo contest should be at the ballpark by 9 a.m. Each contestant will be responsible for providing cooking equipment and supplies.

50 years ago A public hearing on shell dredging in Lake Pontchartrain will be held at Our Lady of the Lake School in Mandeville by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Oct. 28. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. The hearing will gather public response to shell dredging for use in future evaluations of applications for shell dredging operations, the Corps said. All interested parties are invited to attend. Four companies have been applying to the Corps of Engineers for permits to continue dredging activities in the lake. They are Harvey Industries, Inc., of Harvey; Louisiana Materials Company, Inc., of New Orleans; Radcliffe Materials, Inc., of New Orleans; and OKC Dredging, Inc., of Metairie. The companies are asking for a ﬁveyear extension on the existing permits. After a review of a study of impacts of shell dredging in Lake Pontchartrain, which was prepared by Gulf South Research Institute, and after reviewing supplemental data submitted by the applicants, the GSRI has decided that the environmental impacts are not adverse enough to require an environmental-impact statement in compliance with the provision of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

The election was called by the two police juries in August, after entering into a contract with Shields and Company in December 1950. The police jurors of St. Tammany Parish individually and with the help of members of the Covington Business Club and the Business and Professional Women of Covington were mainly responsible for the big turnout of votes.

Corkern Air Conditioning, Heating and Electric celebrating 50 years in business!!

100 years ago The St. Tammany Parish Fair this fall will be in keeping with the general advancement and developments that have been made in the parish during the past year. Our parish fairs have always ranked high among the parish fairs of the state, and this 17th annual St. Tammany Parish Fair, to be held October 15 to 18, inclusive, gives promise of a large attendance from New Orleans and surrounding parishes. Good highways lead to Covington from all directions, and increased agricultural development points to better exhibits. Our poultry and educational exhibits will more than keep pace with the wonderful exhibits we have made in these departments. Amusements will be of a high order and ample provision has been made for racing, sports and concessions. An exhibit by the State Agricultural Department, of insects detrimental to crops, will be very interesting and educational.

By an overwhelming majority in both popular and property vote, the property owners of St. Tammany and Jefferson parishes approved the $40 million revenue bond issue for the construction of the bridge across Lake Pontchartrain at last Tuesday’s election. There was little opposition in either parish. Unofﬁcial returns in St. Tammany Parish showed that 1,806 property owners voted in favor of the proposition while only 141 opposed it. The property vote in favor was $2,239,680 and against it was $139,040. In Jefferson Parish, the popular vote in favor of the bond issue was 2,369 while the property vote there amounted to $44,187,132. Voting against it were 135 property owners with a property value of $225,980. Four precincts in St. Tammany didn’t cast a single vote against the measure. 125 years ago They were at Folsom, in the Second Ward; Our large and constantly increasing commerce Claiborne Hill and the grammar school should induce the government to spend a good in the Third Ward; and at Sun in the Fifth sum in improving the navigation of the Ward.

Aldersgate UMC celebrates 50 years of worship and service BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer Fifty years ago, an intrepid group of United Methodists met for the first time to worship in an upper room of the former Young’s Steakhouse in Slidell and formed a new church. In contrast to a familiar biblical reference, members sat in lawn chairs and sang hymns to accordion accompaniment during that first worship service. Little did they know that five decades later, members of Aldersgate United Methodist Church would celebrate that beginning and their journey of going forth as disciples to serve their community. “Prior to the 1960s, the United Methodist Church consisted mainly of large churches found in downtown areas. The Church saw the need for satellite churches in the suburbs being developed. Their philosophy was if you build it, they will come,” said Aldersgate UMC pastor, the Rev. Mollie McGee. With this scenario in mind, a new church was planned for the growing area around the eastern side of Slidell. Soon after the first service on Jan. 27, 1976, the new congregation quickly outgrew the restaurant space and moved to a dance studio. Within a year, the church built a fellowship hall, designed by church member Lynn Bradley on Robert Boulevard and began hosting Sunday services there. “One of the things that amazed me was how quickly the congregation went from nothing to having a building to worship in. That all happened within a year and by 1981, Aldersgate had added a sanctuary and an education building,” said 50th Anniversary Chairperson Cylinda Barron. The new congregation received a lot of help along the way. A church in Algiers donated classroom chairs and tables, and First United Methodist Church in Slidell assisted with printing bulletins and other office needs. The church’s worship and mission-packed history have been painstakingly chronicled in a timeline on display in the church’s John Wesley Building. The information is shown in a floor to ceiling display that wraps around the room using unique commemorative banners, photos and documents. The display is the culmination of

Aldersgate UMC members who created an expansive historical timeline for the church’s 50th anniversary includes, from left, Phyllis Mitchell, Mary Rich, Cylinda Barron and Charlie Barron. a year’s worth of work combing through old files, personal photos from the congregation and other pieces of church history, according to Charlie Barron, anniversary committee member. “It’s been very interesting to find out about how the church started and all the people involved,” he said. Aldersgate UMC built a reputation for mission-based service in Slidell and the surrounding areas, according to Cylinda Barron. “One of the most amazing things I’ve learned about this church is how it helped start other organizations in Slidell. This congregation, along with Macedonia Baptist Church, was instrumental in creating Rainbow Child Care Center and sponsoring the formation of East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity,” Cylinda Barron said. The local Habitat affiliate recently relocated its offices to the Aldersgate UMC campus.

Congregational teams hosted and participated in walkathons for literacy programs, Kairos Prison Ministry and Kairos Outside Ministry weekends and popular vacation bible schools. It currently provides weekend food packages to atrisk children through its Backpack Blessings Program and organizes the Community Thanksgiving Dinner, according to Charlie Barron. “As a church community, we have participated in lots of outreach programs over the years, and that hasn’t changed. We are still helping people in our community,” Denise Liuzza said. Liuzza has been a member of Aldersgate since 1978 and served as a youth counselor, among other activities. She has been a part of the church’s choir for decades. Hurricane Katrina was a turning point in the church’s life. Since it received only minor damage from the storm, it became a host site for a Red Cross Relief Center and oth-

Pa re nt in g Ce nt er

er restoration efforts. It became the home of the UMC conference’s Epworth Project in 2008, followed by the nonproﬁt Northshore Disaster Recovery Inc. “In the years following Hurricane Katrina, more than 63,000 volunteers helped with repairs and rehab projects for 3,300 clients in our area. People from all over the country came here to help and over the years, they logged in 2.6 million labor hours,” Charlie Barron said. The anniversary year will culminate in a celebration planned for the ﬁrst weekend in October. A welcome reception will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2. A Gala Dinner and Celebration Program will be held on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 5 p.m. New paraments, or liturgical banners, created by the congregation in August, with the help of artist Grace Cox-Johnson, will be unveiled Saturday night and a special presentation by the

Gala Choir will be given. A special worship service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 4, 50 years plus one day since Aldersgate UMC’s charter was accepted on Oct. 3, 1976, ofﬁcially establishing the church. “We invite people who have a connection to Aldersgate to come and join in the festivities. So many families were a part of making Aldersgate what it is today, and we’d like to celebrate this special time with them,” Cylinda Barron said. Reservations are requested for attendance at the anniversary weekend events, especially the Saturday night Gala Dinner and Program. Weekend information is available on the Aldersgate United Methodist Church’s Facebook page, as well as a QR code to make reservations. Individuals and families can also RSVP by email at aumc50@aldersgate-slidell.org or by calling the church ofﬁce at (985) 641-5928.

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS MUSIC

BESPOKE MUSIC: Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes are coming to play in Lacombe on Sept. 30, and it ought to be fun. The group began on a college dare, won the Loyola University Battle of the Bands in 2001, and are still going strong. Rolling Stone editor David Fricke wrote after watching them perform on the Gentilly Stage at Jazz Fest 2025: “(Their) Jazz Fest set was a revelation … jam band bonhomie and Louisiana stroll spiced with klezmer-style violin and funeral-parade horns …what you get if Phish had been born at Tipitina’s and studied under George Clinton and Frank Zappa late every night on the levee.” But don’t let all the fun fool you. They are classically and (as they like to say) “jazzically” trained. Their bespoke music moves from a calm, funky groove to a full blown frenzy and includes plenty of rock ‘n’ roll fans. And now, just as they are marking their 25th anniversary this fall, they are about to perform the next admission-free concert at the St. Tammany Parish Library’s Lacombe Branch, outside in the side yard, on Sept. 30, courtesy of the Friends of the Slidell Library, a nonprofit that raises money to supplement and benefit the main branch in Slidell and several smaller, nearby branches. This the second of four admission free fall concerts Friends is hosting. The audience in Lacombe will just have to wait and see what this unique ensemble delivers because, truth is, one never really knows what will happen with Sir Johnny Marathon on keys; Sage Rouge on saxophones; Dr. Johnny Rico on trumpet; Gator Dave on bass; Dirty Johnny on drums; and Johnny Sketch on electric guitar, electric cello and electric vocals. ROCKIN’ THE BLUES: Rockin’ the Rails blows open its fall season of free Thursday concerts in Covington on Sept. 24 with Kevin and the Blues Groovers, a fast-rising, hot band out of the New Orleans blues scene. The first two-hour concert starting at 5:30 p.m. takes place in the Rev. Peter Atkins Park, so come out and bring your picnic baskets, snacks and drinks and make it a family outing with dinner or a special date night. This is a dynamic blues and soul band led by 23-year-old singer, songwriter and keyboardist Kevin Gullage, who grew up in a musical family and now leads a pro band of his own. So don’t forget the dancing shoes, as well as the lawn chairs and blankets for seating and eating at the park. Four more Rockin the Rails concerts are scheduled through Oct. 29, but those will take place at the Covington Trailhead, where ice chests and picnics are also welcome, but only when there are no vendors on site selling food and drinks. PERFORM: Open Mic Night on Sept. 24 (every final Thursday) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in The Reminding Coffee & Creative House, 141 TerraBella Blvd., near Covington. Great chance for musicians of all ages and abilities to perform before a supportive audience. Each performer/ensemble is invited to share a set of three songs or about 15 minutes. Arrive early to sign up for a spot. Free event. See nstms. org for more. SLOW/FAST: Northshore Strings’ Slow/ Fast Session: This free gathering with pro Madeline Hill on Sept. 27 (every final Sunday) provides an excellent opportunity to play fiddle tunes, especially Celtic ones. In first half of the session, tunes are played at slower tempos, with veteran string educators there offering insight and encouragement to student musicians. In second half, tempos increase to normal performance speeds. From noon to 2 p.m. at St. John’s Coffeehouse, 535 E Boston Street, downtown Covington.

COMMUNITY GUMBO

SEE THE NIGHT: Pelican Park Nature Center is sponsoring a Community Night Hike and Moth Sheeting at the Northlake Nature Center, 23135 US 190, on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. near Mandeville. This is a shared, crowdsourced exploration of the nocturnal environment at the center. Participants explore a designated section of the nature center at their own pace, with everyone sharing observations and discoveries along the way. The contained hiking area allows for independent exploration without the worry of making a wrong turn or getting lost in the woods. It encourages a slower, more observant experience, giving participants the opportunity to notice details of the night environment that might otherwise be overlooked. Two moth sheets will anchor opposite ends of the hiking area, attracting a variety of nocturnal insects for participants to observe. Experienced naturalists will also be walking along the route to help spot, identify and interpret the wildlife encountered along the way. Because everyone explores at their preferred pace, the experience becomes a collective effort. It is recommended that participants download iNaturalist to their device before attending so volunteers can help learn how to use the app. There will be limited ﬂashlights and headlamps available for loan. Please bring water. Children 6 and older are allowed to attend but must remain with their parents at all times.

PJP II and Hannan renew rivalry with an OT thriller BY CHRIS KINKAID Contributing writer

Pope John Paul II and Hannan renewed their rivalry after an eight-year hiatus and gave fans plenty of excitement at Lester Latino Field on Sept. 18. In a game that had more twists and turns than many roller coasters, the Jaguars defeated Hannan, 29-27, in overtime before a full house. “What a game,” PJP II coach Philip Pigott said. “Just, what a game. Hannan’s a phenomenal team, and they’re very well coached. They’re a great team and fought us tooth-and-nail all the way to the end.” The Jaguars led 19-14 late in regulation before turning the ball over on downs at the Hawks’ 2 with 1:03 to go. Hannan was called for holding in the end zone with 44 seconds left, resulting in a safety and making it 21-14.

Let’s take a look at the District 6-5A openers District 6-5A play opens this week, featuring a four-game district slate with plenty of intrigue. Let’s dive in. It’s been such a long wait that Hammond and Mandeville moved their game to Thursday night to be the first to play, or due to Joseph the ongoing officials shortage. The Halm Skippers (3-0) have been the cream of St. Tammany Parish thus far this season, and they will look to continue their hot start and get a little bit of revenge. Mandeville fell at Hammond 2017 last season in Week 7. Now, this matchup will lead off the district slate. The Skippers’ offense is averaging 54 points a game, and the unit shows no sign of slowing down. Krew Collura has thrown for 460 yards and 8 TDs already this season, and sophomore Creshaun McCollum is coming off a threetouchdown performance against Carver, which included a punt return for a score. The Skippers have a ton of weapons on offense. The Tors (2-1) have allowed just 15 points in their two victories while scoring 58 points total this season. They will need to control the ball in this one. The one-two punch of senior QB Terin Jones and senior RB Quadrez Louis will be the focus of the Mandeville defense. The Game of the Week is Covington at Northshore as the Panthers look to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2007. But the subplots in this game are intriguing. Yes, Northshore is coming off a gritty 21-14 win over Lakeshore, but senior QB J.J. Gonzales and

PJP II needed to recover the onside kick to have a chance to kneel out the clock, but Hannan’s Ryan Rist gave the visitors one more chance. The Hawks took possession at the 33-yard line and drove 67 yards in 44 seconds to force overtime. Time seemingly ran out on the Hawks at the 15, but one second was added to the clock, and that was all the visitors needed. Hannan quarterback Braden Sprang dropped back to pass but took off up the middle for a 15yard TD run. After a penalty on Hannan added even more drama, Dylan Robles hit the extra point from 25 yards out to force overtime. In the extra period, PJP II scored first on a 1-yard run by Evan Bergeron on fourth-and-goal. After the Hawks jumped offside on the PAT, the Jaguars called a timeout, went for two, and Bergeron converted that as well to make it

29-21. “I did everything I could,” said Bergeron, who ﬁnished with 158 yards rushing and 3 TDs. “When push comes to shove, I try to do my best to get on top.” The Hawks answered when Sprang connected with Carter Speerly on second-and-goal for a 12-yard score, but the two-point pass was incomplete, capping off the wild PJP II victory. “I’m proud of my guys that we continued to ﬁght two weeks in a row,” Pigott said. “Last week, we got down big and fought right back to bring it to within six points and have a shot to potentially get a stop and a game-winning drive if we can come up with one play. Then tonight, just how many times did we get tested and answered? I’m really proud of them.” Bergeron and Cole McGhee had the bulk of the carries for PJP II,

Mandeville’s Daigle earns spot on U.S. National Junior Team BY MIKE PERVEL Contributing writer

Mandeville swimmer Avery Daigle had quite the summer. The junior posted an eye-popping 50-yard freestyle time of 25.50 seconds while competing at the Louisiana Senior Long Course Championships at LSU in July. She wasn’t done, as she also set new state records in the 50 backstroke (29.68), 50 butterﬂy (26.80), and 100 butterﬂy (1:01.31), competing with the Franco’s Fins Swim Team.

in the event among eligible swimmers 18 & under across the nation. That freestyle swim earned the 16-year-old a spot on the 2026-27 U.S. National Junior Team. Daigle said she’ll never forget how her mother, Elizabeth, shared the news that she was one of fewer than 100 swimmers to make the team. “I was at home in my room when my mom walked in kind of normally, and just said, ‘You made it!’ That was some of the best news ever. I was super excited getting that news,” Daigle said. “It’s probably the most surreal thing I have ever experi-

enced. At some point, almost every kid says their goal is to make the Olympic team or go to the Olympics. The ﬁrst step is to make my way to a higher level someday, make it onto the U.S. team, and then ﬁnally make it to the Olympics.” Daigle already has her sights set on competing in the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane, Australia. It’s a lofty goal for someone who began swimming at age 4, following in her father’s footsteps. “One day, my dad said, ‘Let’s put her on a swim team (Crescent City Swim Club),’ and I have loved it ever since. I love and look forward to the com-

petition, always wanting to be fast,” she said. Daigle’s favorite event is the 50 free. “It’s a very fast-paced event, requiring lots of race strategy,” she said. “You must be almost perfect with your technique to win that event. I love racing. I’m extremely competitive, and I’m my biggest critic.” She began competing with Franco’s Fins at age 6, and now, she is also adding some new strokes to her repertoire. Those new events include the 500 free and 200 IM as the junior focuses on swimming in college.

CONTROLLING THE PLAY lll

Covington’s senior QB has ‘one of his better nights’

BY TAMMY NUNEZ

Contributing writer

Matthew O’Keefe has shown flashes of offensive firepower in his years at Covington High. But Friday, Sept. 18, against McDonogh 35, O’Keefe orchestrated maybe his most well-rounded performance to date. The Lions senior not only gashed the Roneagles for 107 rushing yards, but he coordinated a multi-prong offensive attack that yielded 419 yards in a 4221 victory in Jack Salter Stadium. “I thought he made really good decisions tonight,” Lions’ coach Greg Salter said. “He was much more in control of his reads. He was very patient. He was letting everything play out for himself, and then he was, you know, letting his blockers get out in front of him, not outrunning them.” O’Keefe passed for two touchdowns — both in the second quarter. He found Braeshun Weary for a 65-yard scoring pass with 5:18 remaining in the first half to extend the lead to 14-6. A drive later, he connected with Rodney Clark for a 22-yard touchdown pass. “I just saw the linebacker that was covering him, and then I kind of got out of the pocket a little bit, and he came up on me, and then Rodney was wide open in the end zone,” O’Keefe said. “He said he was going to make a highlight reel play and he absolutely did.” Clark, who also scored on runs of 9 and 1 yards on the night, seemed disappointed O’Keefe put the ball right in his hands. “I wanted to dive for it. … But there it was. It was right there,” Clark said. The Lions (2-1) had their hands full trying to stop talented McDonogh quarterback, Deddrick Peters Jr. Peters attempted 34 passes, connecting on 23 of them for two touchdowns. But the Covington defense stood tough on fourth downs — forcing three turnovers on downs. Weary intercepted Peters in the fourth quarter, returning the pick 53 yards to set up the Lions’ final touchdown of the night. Ronald Encalade capped the four-play, 41yard drive with a 2-yard scoring run with 56 seconds remaining in regulation. McDonogh (1-2) also inflicted some self-harm with 11 penalties for 100 yards. Though Covington never trailed after scoring in the first quarter, the Roneagles had a host of speedy receivers. They amassed 244 yards, continually moving the ball with speed down the field only to see penalties often back them right back up. McDonogh’s only score in the first half came early in the second quarter off a Covington turnover. The Roneagles started the ensu-

flashes of great moments the last couple of years; what we’re trying to find from him is, you know, him to continue to find a consistency. We know he’s gonna bring everything he’s got. We know he’s gonna play as hard as he can. But nights like tonight, where he’s making good decisions, taking care of the football, and, you know, just executing the offense the way he did — I would say it’s one of his better nights for sure.” SCORE BY QUARTERS

It took ﬁve plays, but Peters found Jaquan Davis on a 12-yard scoring pass to shave the Lions’ edge to 7-6. Covington squashed the twopoint run attempt — and stymied McDonogh the rest of the ﬁrst half, forcing a punt and a turnover on downs to keep McDonogh scoreless the rest of the half.

The Lions matched the Roneagles with big plays of their own. O’Keefe artfully yanked back balls from running backs when linebackers engaged, calling his own number or sharing to other backs for big gains. O’Keefe credited the Lions’ cast. “The offensive line was doing a great job and, I mean, when we have good receivers like we do,

they make it easy on me,” he said. “They made great reads, and they just got open. They make me look good.” Salter said O’Keefe’s evolution in having more patience with the running game made a big difference. “He used (the offensive line) as leverage and created another, you know, 15 to 20 at the end of some of those runs,” Salter said. “He’s had

FRIDAY, SEPT. 18

CHALMETTE 24, SALMEN 6: The Spartans struggled offensively while Chalmette QB Brees Wilson rushed for 169 yards and a TD during a victory at Bobby Nuss Stadium. Wilson’s performance helped the Owls avenge last year’s district defeat to Salmen (1-2). Chalmette coach Jason Tucker said his team wanted to control the clock, and the home squad did just that with a healthy dose of power sweeps and counter runs.

The Owls (3-0) took control from the start, helped by a Salmen fumble on the opening kickoff that set up Daveigh Fink’s 12-yard TD run. Tristan DeBose’s 36-yard field goal pushed the lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter, and Wilson added a 1-yard TD run in the final minute of the half to set a 17-0 halftime lead. Chalmette held the Spartans to just 60 first-half yards as the home team cruised to the win. Salmen’s lone score came on a 1-yard Kordé Harris run early in the third quarter. “We had that fumble on the opening kickoff, which gave (Chalmette) an extra possession, and then we had problems on offense ourselves,” Salmen coach Eric Chuter said. “Their defensive line gave us prob-

lems. We only had 17 snaps in the ﬁrst half. “We knew that Wilson was a tough, slippery kid that is hard to bring down. He had that big run right before the half that really hurt us. They scored, and all of a sudden, it’s 17-0 at the half instead of 10-0, which we still would have been in the game.” COVINGTON 42, MCDONOGH NO. 35 21: See story, above. LUTCHER 49, SLIDELL 35: Slidell senior Ja’Kwan Jones posted an eye-popping 326 yards rushing on 19 carries, but Lutcher (2-1) simply couldn’t be stopped in a highscoring home victory. Jones, who also had 43 yards receiving, scored twice and had 10 runs of 12 yards

or more for Slidell (2-1). Senior QB Ricky Williams III added 121 yards rushing and 3 TDs on 14 carries, and he finished 8-of-15 passing for 131 yards with two interceptions. The game was tied 28-28 headed into the fourth quarter before Lutcher scored 21 points in the final quarter to pull away. MANDEVILLE 49, CARVER 6: The Skippers scored early and often as they recorded another runaway victory at Sid Theriot Stadium. Sophomore Creshaun McCollum scored on runs of 1 and 3 yards in the first quarter, and he added a 35-yard punt return TD in the third quarter. In the second quarter, QB Krew Collura tossed a pair of touchdown passes — a 4-yard reception

by Luke Demelo and a 30-yard catch by Cooper Maylin to set the 28-6 halftime margin. Mandeville (3-0) added three more scores in the third quarter — a 30-yard Collura TD run, McCollum’s punt return and a 1-yard Jack Lejeune scoring run to start the running clock. The Skippers’ offense was balanced, racking up 347 total yards (152 passing and 195 rushing). NORTHSHORE 21, LAKESHORE 14: See story, Page 3B. PEARL RIVER 42, FONTAINEBLEAU 30: See story, Page 4B.

Northshore overcomes injuries, turnovers to improve to 3-0 BY JASON RUSSELL Contributing writer

It wasn’t pretty, but Northshore isn’t complaining. The Panthers used a bruising running game and overcame five turnovers and the loss of their starting quarterback in the second quarter to squeeze out a 21-14 victory over crossparish rival Lakeshore at Panther Stadium on Sept. 18. Northshore was led by running back Miller Wadleigh, who ran for 76 yards and two touchdowns to help the Panthers move to 3-0 on the season. NHS fumbled the ball seven times – losing four – and also threw an interception, but the Panthers’ defense held strong. Northshore coach Bobby Sanders said that despite the mistakes, his team never gave up. “I was so proud of them,” he said. “We challenged the defense this week, especially against Lakeshore because they are tough to stop, but I thought we played lights out. I told them we have to have all three phases of the game to win, and that’s what we have teammates for. “It was ugly, but we’re not worried about that; we’re just worried about the end result.” After starting quarterback JJ Gonzales left at the end of the second quarter with an ankle injury, Wadleigh said everybody had to pick up the slack. “I think the offensive line really stepped up and that really means a lot,” he said. “The defense played their heart out tonight, and that was a great thing to see them dominating.” Sanders had nothing but praise for the way Wadleigh ran the ball after the injury. “It was tough sledding there in

The Titans had a field goal blocked and turned the ball over on downs three times in the fourth, including on a dramatic final drive after holding Northshore on fourth down with 2:43 left. Lakeshore took over for its final possession at its own 26-yard line and drove the field, reaching the Northshore 25 with 24 seconds remaining. On fourth-and-6, Loudermilk’s pass fell incomplete, and Northshore was able to run out the clock to pick up the victory.

Continued from page 1B I could make the play. It was great. I’m proud of our team for fighting back and coming back tonight.” Martin iced the game when he hauled in a 22-yard TD pass from junior Jack Henry Seal to push the lead to 20 points with eight minutes left. Seal, who finished 7-of-13 passing for 116 yards, started in place of senior Brady Pierson, who suffered a season-ending broken leg last week. While Gast lamented his team’s 12 penalties for 83 yards, the 2008 SPS alumnus was happy to register his first victory at his alma mater. “It was a big sigh of relief when we took that last kneel down,” Gast said. “We’ve been waiting for it for a while, so hopefully, it’s the first of many. Right now, I’m just excited for these guys.” Despite the St. Paul’s defense coming up with three fourth down stops, including two in the red zone, De La Salle’s offense racked up 420 yards. Senior RB Eamon Williams finished with 177 yards rushing on 27 carries and three TDs to go with three 2-point conversions. Quarterback Alericq Valentine was 22-of-34 passing for 204 yards. Drake Joseph led all receivers with 69 yards on five catches followed by Eamon Williams (5 catches, 67 yards) and Garen Lewis (8 receptions, 59 yards). The only thing that could slow down either team in the first half was penalties. The teams combined for 471 yards of offense and 16 penalties for 107 yards in the opening half.

RB Justus Carlton was injured in that game. Whether either will play against Covington will be a hot topic between now and Friday. For Covington (2-1), the Lions looked like they might have finally figured out their offense. Senior QB Matthew O’Keefe looked dynamic, accounting for 228 yards and 2 TDs in a win over McDonogh 35 last week. Covington averaged 7.5 yards per carry rushing. After a sloppy loss to Franklinton, the Lions are seemingly starting an upward trend. Plus, there is the revenge factor in this game as well. O’Keefe suffered a sports hernia against Northshore last year as Covington fell 17-10. I know the Lions would like to do nothing more than open district play with a statement performance against a stout Northshore defense. The other district matchup pitting two St. Tammany teams against each other is Slidell (2-1) making the trip to Fontainebleau (1-2). The Tigers are coming off a tough 49-35 road loss to Lutcher, but Slidell unlocked their star running back. Senior Ja’Kwan Jones was quiet through the first two games of the season, but he exploded for an eye-popping 326 yards rushing on 19 carries. Those are video game numbers. Slidell would have liked to be undefeated coming into this game, but Jones’ performance is a good sign for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Fontainebleau is battling the injury bug. Junior RB Sheldon Asmore has been steady, but the Bulldogs were without starting QB Logan Astugue last week. And they were down several defensive starters, so Fontainebleau needs to get healthy and control the clock this week. Then, there is Ponchatoula (0-3) at St. Paul’s (1-2). This game has a long history, and this year’s edition of the rivalry has a new wrinkle as former St. Paul’s coach Kenny Sears is now coaching special teams and running backs under first-year Ponchatoula coach Scott Shaffett. Sears led the Wolves for 27 years, amassing a 198-101 record, before stepping away in the offseason. Now, he returns to Hunter Stadium in enemy colors. St. Paul’s is coming off its first vidtory of the season with a sloppy yet gritty 42-30 win over a good De La Salle team. The Wolves are in a bit of transition offensively as senior QB Brady Pierson is out for the season after breaking his leg in Week 2. Junior Christian Martin is pulling double duty as a key cornerback and explosive playmaker on offense. Don’t let Ponchatoula’s 0-3 record fool you; the Green Wave’s average margin of defeat is five points. That’s one big play or one costly turnover. I expect another tight game as both teams will be primed to start district play off on the right foot. Oh yeah, and St. Paul’s is riding a 19game win streak in district play. Four games. Four chances to set the tone in district play. The 2026 football season is officially ramping up a notch. The full parish schedule is below, but first, our weekly Farmer Football 5 rankings.

FARMER FOOTBALL 5 1 | Mandeville | 3-0 (Last week: 1) This week: vs. Hammond (Thu.) Step 1 in the Skippers’ grand plan is complete. They are one of two undefeated teams left in the parish, and they have outscored their opponents 162-44. Mandeville is averaging 54 points per game as district play begins with back-to-back Thursday night games. This team has a chance to run the table as long as they stay locked in. 2 | Northshore | 3-0 (Last week: 3) This week: vs. Covington Northshore showed its toughness in a 21-14 win over Lakeshore last week. The Panthers were without running back Justus Carlton and lost quarterback J.J. Gonzales to an ankle injury during the game, and they still pulled out the win. That’s grit. The Panthers are 3-0 for the first time since 2021 and can improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2007 with a district-opening win against Covington. 3 | Covington | 2-1 (Last week: 5) This week: at Northshore The numbers don’t lie. The Lions are a running team, averaging 7.3 yards per carry this season. If Covington can hold onto the ball, their offense should wear teams down. The vibes are good after a big home win, and now, they can continue their progression with a revenge win over Northshore. 4 | Salmen | 1-2 (Last week: 2) This week: vs. Amite The Spartans have been up and down this season. During Week 1, they struggled offensively against Mandeville before posting 51 points against Live Oak. But last Friday’s offensive performance at Chalmette was another struggle. The Owls are a solid team, but the Spartans’ offense needed to perform better. The good news is they get another strong test against Amite, so this team will be seasoned when district play comes around. 5 | Slidell | 2-1 (Last week: 4) This week: at Fontainebleau The good news for Slidell is that senior RB Ja’Kwan Jones looks to be back, and this offense should keep scoring all season. The bad news is that the defense has allowed 87 points over the last two weeks. The Tigers need to fix that quickly if they want to reach their preseason goals. On the fringe: Pope John Paul II

Pearl River senior Romy Berel tossed 4 TDs in a win over Fontainebleau.

Berel tosses 4 TDs as Pearl River rallies for 42-30 win

BY DAVE WOODALL Contributing writer

Trailing by two touchdowns in the first half on Homecoming night, Pearl River QB Romy Berel tossed a pair of scoring passes in the second quarter to tie the game. He didn’t stop there as the senior threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns as the Rebels pulled away in the second half for a 42-30 home win over Fontainebleau on Sept. 18. “I feel like as we approached the game, we had a great game plan,” said Berel, who threw TD passes to four different receivers. “We took care of the football, which was a major part of the win. We had no turnovers, and I trusted my guys to keep us in the game. We just need to keep our focus and concentrate on each game for the rest of the season.” The Bulldogs started the game hot, scoring 21 of the first 28 points. Junior RB Sheldon Asmore (209 yards rushing, 3 TDs) opened the scoring with a 24-yard run. Landon Suhre added a 25-yard TD run to push the lead to 14-0 late in the first quarter. Pearl River got on the board with a 1-yard Andrew Sikes run, but FHS answered right back as Asmore scored on a 48-yard run for a 21-7 lead. The Rebels (1-2) took over from there. In the final 3:10 of the first half, Berel threw a 65-yard TD pass to Kole Doss and a 17-yard score to Angel Perez to set the 21-21 halftime score. “We worked hard in the summertime to get this thing going,” Pearl River coach Jerry Leonard said. “We didn’t feel like we had the same guys that we had last year to be able to pound the football. But this year we have a lot of skilled basketball guys that came out and can play receiver. They have really blossomed. “We knew we needed to find a way to get them the football. I got kind of lucky to get back some guys on offense, who have helped us get to where we are right now. We’ve got a long way to go, but we are going to keep on working and keep on pushing.” Pearl River opened the second half with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Berel to Kendrick Lee for a 28-21 lead. The Rebels added another score with 5:37 left in the third quarter on a 45-yard run by Sikes to take a twoscore lead. The Bulldogs (1-2) battled back as Asmore scored his third TD, this one from 61 yards out to cut the lead to 35-28. But Pearl River sealed the win with 11:08 left in the game as Berel connected with Kaysen McGinnis for a 37-yard TD pass for an insurmountable 42-28 lead. Despite playing without starting QB Logan Astugue, Fontainebleau coach Chris Womack said his team will keep growing. “Sheldon (Asmore) is a great player, but we were missing our starting quarterback tonight and missing some defensive guys,” he said. “We had to use some younger kids, so it was tough. That said, we are going to continue to play hard and give it great effort, and we are going to get better.” SCORE BY QUARTERS

SSA senior Caitlin Cambre led the Doves with 20 kills and 14 digs during a 5-set win over PJP II on Sept. 15.

Doves determined to avoid fifth-set loss at home BY JOSEPH HALM

Staff writer

St. Scholastica coach Lisa Cardinale knew it was time to make a point. The Doves had battled tooth and nail with cross-parish rival Pope John Paul II, and the teams were headed to a fifth set. “Before I even turned in my lineup for the fifth set, I told everyone to huddle up, and I told them that we were not losing another fifth set in our gym,” said Cardinale, referring to the Doves’ 5-set home loss to Chapelle in the season opener. “This is our gym, and we’re winning that fifth set. We started with the momentum, and then we got behind. But what I’m noticing most about my team is that we are growing from playing a tough schedule.” The Doves responded by rallying for a 25-15, 17-25, 22-25, 25-22, 15-12 home win on Sept. 15. “It feels so good because we always love a 5-set win,” said SSA junior Alex Liner, who finished with 24 kills and eight digs. The fifth set was a rollercoaster, just like the entire match. The Doves went up 3-0 only to see PJP II rally to force a timeout after a Kam Rodriguez block gave the visitors a 7-4 lead. Then, Liner started to take over as her third kill of the set gave the home team a 10-9 lead and forced a Jaguars timeout. “I just have all the confidence in my swings,” Liner said. “I know if I get blocked, my teammates have my back. The back row is going to cover. If I don’t get a kill, I can get the next one because I know my setter has my back to set me again. So I just swing away.” Liner recorded two more kills down the stretch before senior Caitlin Cambre’s kill off the PJP II block sealed a grueling 15-12 victory. “I was just telling myself that if I get the ball, it was the end of the match,” Cambre (20 kills, 14 digs) said. “We were not doing this anymore. We fought to five sets, so if I get that last set, it’s game over. We needed that. We needed to prove to ourselves that we could do it.” SSA senior Maya Lanclos and junior Marigny Vaughn recorded 24 and 23 assists, respective-

PJP II junior Frankie Thompson, middle, celebrates a kill against SSA.

SSA senior Maya Lanclos finished with 24 assists during a 5-set win over PJP II. ly. Molly Alexander added 11 digs and two aces, while Haylie Williams had nine kills and six blocks. The Doves (3-4) have embraced a tough early-season schedule that includes wins against St. Joseph’s and Central-Baton Rouge, with losses

to Chapelle, Dominican, St. Thomas More and Ruston. The last time they were at home, they lost 15-13 in the ﬁfth set to Chapelle. “It’s important to have resilience,” Cambre said. “A lot of people look at our schedule and say that it’s a very tough early

schedule. But that’s a good thing because it reveals what you need to work on right in the beginning, and then we can prove to ourselves that we’re capable of it.” While SSA celebrated a hardfought victory, Jaguars coach Taylor Ricaud lamented her team’s lost opportunity. “I think our biggest challenge this season is getting them to believe that they can compete with great teams, and that they are a great team,” Ricaud said. “That’s something that we’ll keep working on. In tight matches like this, you need to know that you’re enough. We’ll see (SSA) again on Friday, so that’s our chance to show that we’ve learned from this one.” Senior Allyson Boackle led PJP II (3-2) with 35 digs and 16 kills, while junior Frankie Thompson had 35 assists. The match was all SSA early as the Doves raced to a 17-8 lead before Sarah Henry’s kill sealed a 25-15 victory. But as was the theme of the night, PJP II responded, racing out to a 15-8 lead in the second set before the Jaguars held on for a 25-17 victory. The third set was a battle as neither team built more than a 3-point lead. The Doves took their first lead at 18-17, and the advantage grew to 21-18 on Henry’s kill. But the Jaguars surged at the end as a Rodriguez block followed by a Rodriguez kill helped seal a 25-22 victory. The fourth set was tied four times in the final 20 points before back-to-back kills by Cambre and Mary Divittorio forced a fifth set.

(4) Notwithstanding any provision of this constitution to the contrary, any decrease in the total amount of ad valorem tax collected by the taxing authority as a result of the exemption shall be absorbed by the taxing authority and shall not create any additional tax liability for other taxpayers in the taxing district as a result of any subsequent reappraisal and valuation or millage adjustment. Implementation of the exemption authorized in this Paragraph shall neither trigger nor cause for a reappraisal of property or an adjustment of millages pursuant to the provisions of Section 23(B) of this Article.

No. 2024-30602 DIVISION “ J” SUCCESSION

Continued from page 1B forming a thunder-and-lightning combination. McGhee finished with 55 yards on the ground and 79 yards receiving, including a TD catch. The Hawks (2-1) got on the board first, thanks to a Grant Higgs’ 17yard TD run midway through the first quarter. PJP II answered when Gage Trainor completed a 27-yard TD pass to McGhee at the 6:36 mark of the second quarter. Hannan had a chance to retake the lead late in the first half, but the Jaguars’ defense held on fourth-and-goal from the 1 on the final play of the first half. PJP II took the lead with 5:12 left in the third quarter when Bergeron scored on a 1-yard run, but once again, the Hawks responded. Senior Paul Hoyt caught the ensuing kickoff at the 8, ran left and broke into the open. He was barely touched and raced 92 yards to put the Hawks up 14-13. The Jaguars then drove 73 yards and went up 19-14 on Bergeron’s 2-yard run. The two-point conversion failed, keeping it a five-point game with 9:48 to go and setting up a wild finish.

PJP II running back Cole McGhee tries to run between Hannan defenders Carter Perniciaro, left, and Cade McHughes. The Hawks finished with 276 yards of offense, led by senior Riley Jones, who ran for 117 yards despite suffering an injury early in the third quarter that limited his carries in the second half. Hannan coach Steve Soper said

his defense simply wore down in the end. “They’ve got a great offense, especially what they do,” Soper said. “(PJP II) runs it well. They do what they do well. We kept our defense on the ﬁeld way too long.
