Cooper releases parish’s ‘most challenging’ budget for 2027 BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper introduced a $184 million budget at the Oct. 1 Parish Council meeting for the 2027 fiscal year. It includes more than $66 million that would go toward “infrastructure investments while navigating significant financial challenges facing the parish.” “This budget is the most challenging budget process my administration has faced since taking office in 2020,” he said at the meeting. In explaining his reasons for spending, he also presented a five-minute video spelling out the four priorities this budget centers around: “Protecting and strengthening infrastructure; building a more resilient parish; preparing for responsible growth; and maintaining fiscal discipline.” Meanwhile, members of the parish council and other local leaders have been on a campaign tour across St. Tammany the past several weeks touting the need for a five-year, quarter-cent sales tax that will be put in front of voters on a Dec. 12 ballot. That tax would be used to shore up criminal justice funding. The vote comes after parish residents have shot down several previous proposals and almost all the tax renewals put in front of them over the past year-plus. Parish officials, including Cooper, have reiterated that if this tax doesn’t pass, there likely will have to be massive cuts made to this current budget. They say that includes a potential 60% reduction in judicial funding, stressing that funding from one source cannot be used for anything other its dedicated purpose. “From 2024 through 2026, we used $22 million in nonrecurring funds to be able to support statemandated costs (in criminal justice),” Annie Perkins, finance director for St. Tammany Parish Government, said recently. “As a result, we are structurally imbalanced, and we need to find another source to support our costs. Otherwise, we’re not going to be able to continue to support these necessary services for our citizens.” The budget proposal can — and likely will — continue to be amended through expected final passage in December. The $184 million is roughly the same as last year’s figure after amendments and additions. It includes $45 million in personnel services and another $48.4 million for day-to-day operations. “I know putting this budget together wasn’t easy,” said Parish Council Chair Cheryl Tanner at its introduction. “I agree with President Cooper that this budget reflects the challenges we have been anticipating and have been communicating throughout our ongoing ‘Keep St. Tammany Safe’ presentations. It’s imperative we continue to work together.”

Associate superintendent Alfonso expected to be named interim district head BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

St. Tammany Parish public schools Superintendent Frank Jabbia retired Sept. 30 after six years overseeing the district, an unexpected move that came a week after he faced questions over how two elementary school leaders handled allegations of child abuse. Jabbia, 55, stepped down effective immediately, according to a news release sent by the district. His name and picture were removed from the district’s website the same afternoon. “Serving the students, employees, families and com- Jabbia munity of St. Tammany Parish has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Jabbia said in the news release. “I am incredibly proud of the thousands of dedicated educators and employees who work every day on behalf of our students, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve this community.”

Library Board zeros in on book with image of mating insects BY DANIEL LAWTON Contributing writer

The St. Tammany Parish Library Board of Control voted Sept. 28 to continue restricting children’s access to seven books because of sexual content, despite objections from a handful of residents who said the books should be returned to the general collection. The most discussed book during the meeting was “Insectopolis,” a graphic novel that was restricted because it includes an image of grasshoppers mating. None of the five members who voted to keep that book restricted argued that the volume was inappropriate. Rather, they either deferred to the library’s administrative decision to keep it behind a desk or said state law tied their hands. “I really think the battle is not here. The battle is in Baton Rouge,” said board member Glenn Baham, who voted to continue to

JABBIA

Continued from page 1A In recent weeks, Jabbia has had to grapple with the fallout from two former administrators at Lyon Elementary who failed to report child abuse at the school last year. Former principal Lauryn Faciane and former assistant principal Tonya Barth were arrested by Covington Police on May 27 and pleaded guilty to the failure to report. They were sentenced to probation and remained on paid administrative leave until Sept. 17. Neither continue to work in the district,

but the handling of the matter has sparked criticism from some parents and residents. The week before Jabbia’s announcement, the school board held a seven-hour meeting to allow the public to air its concerns, which included a ﬁve-hour executive session behind closed doors during which board members discussed the matter. When the board came out of executive session, one member said a move to put Jabbia on administrative paid leave was being considered. That action could have been decided at the Oct. 8 meeting. The School Board was expected to name Steve Alfon-

partment. In the suit, Couvillion, a frequent online critic of Smith, alleged that Smith came up from behind him at Keith Young’s Steakhouse, then “placed him in a chokehold and slammed his head to the concrete ﬂoor before punching him,” which resulted in several injuries. It also says Smith then yelled, “I’m going to kill you,” at Couvillion using an expletive, and claims Saurage pointed out where Couvillion was sitting and “made aggressive gestures

towards Mr. Couvillion in the moments leading up to the attack.” The suit alleges Sider “used his body to stop bystanders from intervening and stepped on Mr. Couvillion.” Saurage was arrested June 8 on one count of principal to second-degree battery in relation to the incident and was released the same day on $7,500 bond. No date has yet been set for trial. William Most, an attorney who is representing Couvillion and Ingraham, declined to comment when contacted

Sept. 29. Attorney Eric Hessler, who represented Smith in the criminal case, said he is not representing Smith in the civil case. Smith declined to comment and directed questions to his civil attorney, who did not respond to a request for comment, also on Sept. 29. Andrew Capitelli, an attorney for the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, said: “The claims arise from a personal dispute between two private individuals. The sheriff’s department will defend the agency against the claims and allegations in the lawsuit and will take appro-

priate steps to ensure it is not improperly expanded beyond those directly involved.” Saurage did not respond to a text message sent Sept. 29, and Sider could not be reached. In June, Smith, a threeterm sheriff, pleaded guilty to second-degree battery and second-degree disturbing the peace charges. He then resigned from his post. Following the plea, he was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to attend a substance abuse program, avoiding jail time.

so, the district’s sssociate superintendent of administration and human resources, as interim superintendent at a special meeting Oct. 5. The action was expected to last until the end of the 2026-27 school year, though a search for a full-time replacement for Jabbia is expected. The School Board also is expected to move forward with a districtwide investigation into how administrators are complying with mandatory rules for reporting child abuse. A decision to open an investigation came after the marathon meeting that started Sept. 21 and stretched into the wee hours of Sept. 22. St. Tammany Parish Presi-

dent Mike Cooper said in a statement his ofﬁce “recognizes his 32 years of dedicated service,” but also chastised Jabbia for his handling of the situation at Lyon. “We acknowledge that his retirement comes amid serious allegations which must be thoroughly and appropriately reviewed, with particular care for the affected children and families,” he said. In a Sept. 30 letter to the school system’s 6,000 employees, Jabbia said his priority throughout his career has been to give children opportunities. “Our responsibility has always been to prepare them, support them, believe in

them and give them every opportunity to make those dreams a reality,” he said. He didn’t address the recent controversy over the Lyon Elementary administrators. In a text message, Jabbia said he wasn’t immediately available to discuss his retirement. Jabbia attended St. Tammany Parish schools and graduated from Slidell High in 1989. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1994 and returned to the parish to work at his alma mater for 14 years as a teacher, coach and driver’s education instructor. In 2002, he became the head football coach at

Northshore High School and remained there for 16 years, working his way to assistant principal in 2006 and to principal in 2013. Seven years later, in October 2020, he was chosen by the St. Tammany Parish School Board from among five candidates to become the school system’s 14th superintendent. Jabbia’s father, Pete Jabbia, had been serving as interim superintendent of the district following since June 2020 following the resignation of W.L. “Trey” Folse from the post to become assistant state superintendent of system relationships with the Louisiana Department of Education.

LIBRARY

Continued from page 1A restrict access to all of the books in question. Baham said he did not see anything wrong with “Insectopolis” but couldn’t lift the restriction due to state law. But Emily Couvillon, the board’s legal counsel, explained to board members that they were applying their own graphic novel policy, which is more restrictive than state law. The board passed a policy in 2023 to move all graphic novels with sexual content to behind the circulation desk. Three residents spoke in favor of removing restrictions from the books, including Rebecca Bohm. “I don’t think that mating bugs will corrupt the children of St. Tammany,” said Bohm, who initiated the process to make the books unrestricted. The board also unanimously passed a new policy on collection development and deselection criteria, which one resident said in public comments could lead to removing more books related to LGBTQ themes. Local activists clashed in previous years with former board members and library administrators, with most disagreements centered on books containing LGBTQ themes. Some said books with that content could expose children to material they weren’t mature enough to understand while others said banning or restricting books based on perceived community standards was a very clear form of censorship. At this most recent meeting, board members Chuck Branton, Baham, Tamarah

Myers, Travis Thompson and Pennie Petrie voted to continue to restrict the books. Dinah Thanars and Jeff Corbin voted to return them to their previous collections. Corbin abstained from voting on one of the books. The books in question covered topics related to puberty, sex education and anatomy. One of them, “Spinning,” is a graphic novel about a gay ﬁgure skater. Four of the books discussed at the meeting will remain in an adult nonfiction section, while the three graphic novels will remain behind a desk. Minors could still check out these books, depending on whether their parents have given them an “unrestricted” library card. The board had little indepth discussion about any of the books, except “Insectopolis.” Library Director Trevor Collings said the book was flagged because of an image on page 179 of grasshoppers mating. Library Board President Charles Branton read aloud the state law’s deﬁnition of sexual conduct, which includes “ultimate sexual acts, whether between human beings, animals, or a human being and an animal.” Parish Councilman Jeff Corbin, who serves on the board in place of Parish President Mike Cooper, was the most vocal board member opposed to the restrictions. Corbin chafed at the argument that the board was restricted by the state statute, arguing that St. Tammany Parish interprets the law more strictly than libraries in other parishes. “We do lean towards a certain direction that is much more restrictive and limiting than others,” he said.

Trio vies to be judge of City Court of East St. Tammany BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer

Three northshore attorneys with extensive legal résumés are in the running to preside over the City Court of East St. Tammany for the next six years. The judicial race will be one of many contests on the crowded Nov. 3 ballot. Candidates d’Andrea McMooain Chatman, Tammy M. Nick and Tracey Turgeau Powell seek to assume the judgeship currently held by Bryan Haggerty, who did not seek reelection. Nick and Powell are Republicans. Chatman is a Democrat. Both Powell and Chatman ran unsuccessfully for the judicial post in 2019. The City Court of East St. Tammany has jurisdiction over Wards 8 and 9, including Slidell, Pearl River and the unincorporated areas stretching nearly to Lacombe. It was formerly known as the City Court of Slidell. The court handles a variety of cases, including those involving local trafﬁc violations, adult and juvenile misdemeanor cases, domestic violence, small claims up to $5,000, general civil lawsuits up to $50,000 and tenant evictions. The judicial race got off to a contentious start when Nick challenged Powell’s candidacy, charging in a lawsuit that Powell does not reside within the boundaries of the territorial jurisdiction of the court. The suit sought to have Powell disqualiﬁed as a candidate. In mid-August Judge Alan Zaunbrecher, of the 22nd Judicial District Court, ruled that Powell met the residency requirements to run and allowed her to remain in the race. In response, Nick said

many office before moving to the special victim’s unit for domestic violence cases at the Covington office. He resigned to run for marshal and says he will bring a new perspective that includes experience working in a much larger court. Gallaher says that the office needs upgrades in equipment and technology. “I saw a lot of things that could be improved and made more modern,” he said. Currently employees drive surplus vehicles that are old and not in the best shape and have to use cellphones rather than radios, he said. Gallaher also wants two additional employees added to the current staff of four, a change that he says will improve efficiency in serving subpoenas. “Lots of solutions could be accomplished without a tax,” he said. He also wants to join the statewide marshals organization, something the Slidell office hasn’t done.

A Slidell attorney with more than 26 years of courtroom experience, Nick said she has resolved more than 1,500 cases. She is the managing attorney of Nick Law Firm, which she founded in 2004. With an undergraduate degree in psychology, Nick worked in that field before entering law school. Over the course of her legal career, Nick has served as a private attorney, courtappointed attorney, public defender appointed attorney, and pro-bono attorney. Since February 2024, she has served as legal counsel to juveniles in the City Court by appointment from the Louisiana Public Defender’s Office. She has also served two terms as president of the Greater Slidell Bar Association. “Those who have worked She says her experience with me know I have a in the court has given her a firsthand understanding of ing relationship with all proven record of discipline the challenges facing fami- agencies and departments and a deep respect for the lies, young people, victims at the court,” she said. “I’ve rule of law and that I value and individuals navigating helped more than 3,900 a fair and impartial judiciaadults from in and around ry,” she said in announcing the justice system. “I have an excellent work- this community.

Voters will choose only fourth marshal in court’s history

John Gallaher and Kevin O’Neill, who both spent their careers in law enforcement, are vying to become only the fourth person to hold the office of what is now known as the city marshal of the City Court of East St. Tammany. It’s a long title for what still is widely referred to as the job of Slidell city marshal. The current marshal, Kevin Foltz, has held the office since 2014. Before him, J. Russell Camp served as Slidell city marshal from the court’s inception in the 1960s until 2004. Wyatt Williams held the post between Camp and Foltz. Now, Gallaher and O’Neill want to be marshal of the court (which officially changed names from Slidell City Court to City Court of East St. Tammany Voters in 2020). Voters in Wards 8 and 9, which take in Slidell and much of eastern St. Tammany Parish, will decide who will spend the next six years as marshal, providing security to the court and carrying out duties that include serving court orders, subpoenas and evictions. Both candidates say that explaining what the office does and who can vote are among the most frequent questions that they encounter on the campaign trail. Gallaher retired as a captain from the Slidell Police Department after a 31-year career that covered every area except the city jail. In 2021, he went to work as an investigator for the 22nd Judicial District Attorney’s Office, starting out in the district attorney’s east St. Tam-

mained in my position for 29 years as a service from the heart.” If elected, Chatman said her judicial decisions will be guided by the law, the facts and a strong sense of fairness. “All of my clients know that I will do my best to protect their constitutional rights,” she said at a recent forum. “All of my clients have also known that actions have consequences, and it was not my job to remove those consequences.” Chatman has made several runs for the city court, most recently in 2019. She ran third in the primary, collecting 23% of the vote. Powell made the runoff with 29% of the vote in the three-candidate primary.

Gallaher says he wants the Marshal’s Office to have more community involvement and plans to start a nonprofit to help young people who struggle to afford the fees for youth sports and other activities. “I’m known for putting in the work,” he said. “Nobody will ever outwork me.” O’Neill, who retired as a captain from the Slidell Police Department after nearly 30 years, went to work for the Slidell City Marshal’s Office as a deputy marshal in 2015. He was promoted to chief deputy marshal in 2018. “At my core, I’m still a law-and-order guy,” he said, stressing the importance of keeping everyone safe in the courtroom. O’Neill said he’ll work to move the agency forward. “We have the same problems every agency has, funding and a small budget.”

room is not a place for activism or personal agendas. It is a place where the law must be applied fairly, consistently and without bias.” Nick said presiding over City Court is a full-time job. As such, she plans to retire from her private law practice to serve in the judicial position.

Powell To highlight her background, Powell’s campaign is stressing that she is the one candidate in the race possessing actual judicial experience. Powell has served in two judicial capacities. From 2007 to 2015, she was elected and served as Justice of the Peace for Ward 8, which includes parts of the Slidell and Pearl River areas. She also served as the code enforcement hearing ofﬁcer in 2022 to preside as a magistrate over short-term rental violations and other administrative matters. Alongside her judicial roles, Powell has her own law practice where she has been a busy litigator, handling successions, civil litigation, criminal defense and all aspects of family law. “With decades of experience representing families, individuals, and businesses, I’m ready to bring steady, impartial leadership to the bench,” she said. Powell narrowly lost to Haggerty in 2019 in her ﬁrst bid for the City Court position, receiving 49% of the vote in the runoff. Powell said she carefully considered her run again for the City Court. To better prepare for the judicial role, she returned to school to earn a master’s degree from LSU in social work to “better my knowledge of what services are appropriate for children and families in need.”

ELECTION Three community leaders seek spot on Covington City Council H H

Winner would finish term started by councilman who resigned BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer

Three civic-minded candidates are campaigning to win the District A seat on the Covington City Council in a special election on Nov. 3 Maisha Harrell-Bijou, Pamala McKay and Alva Drionne Smith are hoping to ﬁll the council position that was vacated in February by Peter Lewis. After Lewis resigned, former Covington City Council member John Callahan was appointed to occupy the seat on an interim basis pending the outcome of this election. Lewis won a close race for the District A seat on the seven-member council in 2019 and was reelected without opposition in 2023. He submitted a letter of resignation on Feb. 6, saying he was stepping down from the council “due to personal matters.” The District A seat is the only City Council post up for election on Nov. 3. However, each seat on the board, including the District A slot, will be on the ballot again in the spring for a new four-year term beginning July 1. The Covington mayor’s race will be voted on in the spring, as well. As for the three candidates looking to ﬁnish the current

Early voting for the Nov. 3 elections will be Oct. 20-27, excluding Sunday Oct. 25. A runoff, if necessary, will be Dec. 12.

individuals and businesses in the community, according to her campaign literature. “I’m a servant at heart,” said Harrell-Bijou, who is making her first bid for public office. “I’m about putting people first because I care so much about this community.” Keeping the community safe and renovating public facilities in District A would be among Harrell-Bijou’s top priorities as a council representative.

Pamala McKay Describing herself as a strong advocate for the community, McKay says she has a history of working with different organizations to help guide and support struggling families. Like Harrell-Bijou, she is on the board of directors of the West 30s Redemption Company. McKay said her background as a housing advocate gives her insight into the problems of the underprivileged and illustrates the need to stand up for those in difﬁcult situations. That need is what motivated her to run for ofﬁce. “I’m bringing that hope of standing for what is right,” she said, “where you have a voice in any situation that is forming negativity.” McKay, a current member of the Covington Planning and Zoning Commission, has a varied work history that she said should suit her well if elected. Starting at age 18, she worked in a nursing home as a caregiver. She said she also now works for herself after establishing

Alva Drionne Smith A former member of the Covington Planning and Zoning Commission, Smith is currently a pre-kindergarten teacher who previously spent 23 years as a paraprofessional in St. Tammany Parish schools. She is a graduate of Covington High School and Grambling State University, where she obtained a degree in therapeutic recreation. Smith said her campaign is centered around leadership, collaboration and community, adding that she is committed to serve on the council with humility, class, and grace. “I want to see change and make a difference in my hometown,” the Covington native said. “I believe District A deserves a leader who is present, accessible, and willing to listen.” She hopes to reestablish trust and accountability in the district by bridging the gap between the city administration, council and the community. Collaboration with the city and residents will be an important factor for the next District A council member, she said. “Because I have no political experience, I am not entering this election pretending to know everything or to have all the answers,” she said. “I’m coming prepared to listen, ask questions and do the work.”

“Moving forward in small increments is all we can do,” he said, but he will research more funding. O’Neill also wants to add another deputy marshal to enable staff to attend more educational seminars and wants to upgrade computers and work with the court on software to reduce redundancy.

Meetings set on replacing closed bridges BY KIM CHATELAIN Contributing writer

It’s been more than four years since motorists have been able to traverse five decaying 100-year-old bridges that cross the Pearl River basin via U.S. 90 near the Mississippi state line. The closures have been a source of consternation for many drivers who remain befuddled as to why it has taken so long to address the issue that ranks at the top of the priority list for many in St. Tammany Parish and beyond. Finally, there may be a light at the end of the West Pearl River Bridge and its ancillary spans. A federal grant that could provide a significant chunk of the money needed to replace the bridges will be the subject of two public hearings in late October. Citizens who have been clamoring for the route to be restored will finally have a chance to weigh in on the matter. “The most pressing issue for District 76, and the one I’m asked about most often, is reopening the Highway 90 bridges,” said state Rep. Stephanie Berault, R-Slidell, who has represented District 76 in the Legislature since January of 2024. “This route is an important alternative when I-10 backs up at the state line, a vital connection for the families and businesses along our coast, and, most importantly, a critical evacuation route.” Berault has said during evacuations for Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Slidell became a “parking lot” despite the bridges being open and contraflow in place. The thought of a similar future evacuation without the use of U.S. 90 bridges is difficult for some to fathom. The first of the two public hearings on the proposed bridge restoration project will be held from 4:30 p.m. to

7 p.m. on Oct. 20 at the Pearlington Recovery Center, 5265 La. 604 in Pearlington, Mississippi. The second will be in St. Tammany at Northshore High School, 100 Panther Drive, in Slidell. It, too, will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The meetings are being organized by federal and state ofﬁcials who are making signiﬁcant progress on the route closure issue, Berault said. “I hope residents will come, hear the latest updates, ask questions, and show everyone involved just how important reopening these bridges is to our region,” she said.

The background In May of 2022, a 3-mile stretch of U.S. 90 at the Louisiana-Mississippi state line that feeds traffic to the West Pearl River Bridge and several others was shut down. Inspectors found significant deterioration in the West Pearl River Bridge. State traffic experts eventually deemed that four bridges along the corridor were unsafe and would need to be replaced to reopen the stretch of highway. What is known as Old U.S. 90 between Slidell and Waveland, Mississippi, for years had served as an alternative route when traffic on Interstate 10 stalls. It also served as an access road for local communities and is a key part of the region’s hurricane evacuation route. Officials said the state doesn’t have the $150 million to $350 million it would cost to replace the spans and reopen the stretch of U.S. 90. However, Berault said the state has identified a federal grant program that could help pay for the bridge replacements. A grant application was submitted to the federal government in June, and a decision is expected in late November. If approved, the federal govern-

ment could award up to $80 million toward the project, said Daniel Gitlin, a Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development spokesman. As proposed, the project involves replacing the ﬁve U.S. 90 bridges over the West Pearl, West Middle Pearl, Middle Middle Pearl,

Mandeville Kiwanis Club celebrates a milestone 40 years BY DARREN COOPER Contributing writer

Connected through a shared devotion to community service and helping generations of kids, the Kiwanis Club of Northshore Mandeville celebrated its 40th anniversary with a social and awards reception Sept. 18. “The best part for me was sitting back, before and after the ceremony, and watching new and old members connect and see people’s faces lighting up,” said Cindy Dwyer, president the club that is generally referred to as Mandeville Kiwanis. “I met some past presidents, and ... ﬁnally (got to) say ‘Hey, thanks for all the work you did.’ (That) was special.” Chapter Vice President Christy Delgado said like-minded people know how to accomplish common goals. “We love helping kids in the community, and when you have a group of people that agree on something, it makes it easy for us to come together. Even our planning meetings are fun because we all have the same mission in mind,” Delgado said. In addition to honoring its past, the Mandeville Kiwanis also handed out their yearly awards. The Steadfast Leader Award went to Tim Gagliano. The Children’s Champion Award went to Linda Giffin, and two members, Jeremy Ellis and Jenny Magliolo, were honored as the Kiwanis Rookies of the Year. With about 75 members, the Mandeville Kiwanis Club maintains a regular calendar of events. They will offer Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 5 at Fontainebleau High School, and a similar event for kids with the Easter Bunny. “It’s the best pancakes in town,” Dwyer laughed. The organization also puts boxes in area schools for coat donations that they clean and give away before winter’s chill sets in. The Kiwanis also have started a new initiative putting books at two Mandeville laundromats to keep kids engaged. In addition, the Kiwanis also maintain and create large world and America maps on playgrounds at schools, and just updated one at Lacombe. They also partner with other community organizations

Rookie of the Year Jeremy Ellis for events by providing volunteers and supplies and give scholarships to students in need. “I truly believe that’s why we were put on Earth, to serve others,” said Dwyer. “And what better way than to start then with kids. And what separates Kiwanis is you can be a part of the Kiwanis family from kindergarten with our K Kids club and Key Club in high school all the way through your adult life.” Forty years is a long time to be making an impact in the community, but the enthusiasm at the Mandeville Kiwanis hasn’t waned. “I think there is nothing like it, being a member of a Kiwanis club and being a part of that many kids’ lives and going out and doing community service,” Dwyer said. “If you want to stay involved in your community, this is the club to be in,” said Delgado. “We always have the same goal and are pushing toward the same thing, and that never gets old. We never run out of ideas.”

Lawyers in Libraries returns to St. Tammany BY JACKIE RIECKIE

Contributing writer

Legal advice can be expensive, and thanks to the Louisiana State Bar Association, St. Tammany Parish Library patrons can get some free advice for civil, noncriminal matters at three branches during late October. It’s all part of the state association’s 12th annual Lawyers in Libraries event with volunteer attorneys. As now scheduled, patrons will have five opportunities to reserve a 15- to 20-minute session with a legal professional. The windows of opportunity are: • Oct. 26: Causeway Branch, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. • Oct. 29: Slidell Branch, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. • Oct. 29: South Slidell Branch, 5 p.m.to 7 p.m. • Oct. 30: Causeway Branch, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. • Oct. 31: South Slidell Branch, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. While these volunteer attorneys can offer legal guidance, they do not officially take on attendees’ cases nor are conversations at the event confidential. Anyone seeking private legal advice or formal representation need to hire their own lawyer. Advance registration is required to secure a time slot for these brief legal consultations. Do that by visiting bit. ly/4xZhVtN for event registration details.

Filling the gap From anthropology to zoology research, the library has resources available for patrons in all types of formats. Each branch holds physical media to assist, and some even have more specialized materials, such as the Covington branch with its vast genealogy resources. Still, there are times when, even with the hundreds of thousands of books on the shelves, some patrons will ﬁnd their search results empty. That is when the library’s vast online resources come into play. The library offers access to thousands of databases, classes, and eBooks for even further research. Library patrons

will ﬁnd everything from archives of newspapers from over one hundred years ago to peer-reviewed journals on the latest medical trends. All of these sources are within a click of a mouse. Visit the library’s website at sttammanylibrary.org/resource to get started.

A Friends sale The Friends of the Library of West St. Tammany’s Used Book Sale will be on Oct. 16 and 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at their building located at 321 W. 29th Ave., Covington.

Other events Tea Party: Families are invited to enjoy a Pinkalicious-themed tea party with crafts, activities, and plenty of pink fun at the Folsom branch on Oct. 7 from 5:30 p.m.6:30 p.m. Book Club: The Book Beat Book Club will meet on Oct. 8 at the Bush branch from 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. to discuss “The Searcher” by Tana French. No registration is needed. Space Day: The Slidell branch will have a family drop-in event on Oct. 8 from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Kids and their grown-ups will explore the mysteries of the universe through fun space-themed crafts and activities.

The most meaningful birthday card a child in crisis may receive this year could be drawn by another child — and young artists in St. Tammany are being invited to create some of the cards to be delivered in the next 12 months. The invitation is being issued by the Brooke It Forward Foundation and the Covington Three Rivers Art Festival, and they are asking local students in grades K-12 to enter the second annual Brooke It Forward Birthday Card Art Contest. The juried contest is open to public, private, parochial and homeschool students willing to create original, birthday-inspired artwork. All the submitted art will be displayed in the atrium of OnPath Credit Union at 205 N. Columbia St. during the Covington Three Rivers Art Festival Nov. 14-15. Formal awards for the winning artwork pieces will be presented Nov. 15 during the festival’s awards ceremony at the Covington Trailhead. Organizers are looking for cheerful, celebratory designs. “We’re looking for joy,” said Jessica Valladares, executive director of the Brooke It Forward Foundation. “We want students to create colorful, uplifting, birthday-inspired artwork that captures the happiness, excitement and celebration that comes with a birthday.” Winning pieces will be reproduced as birthday cards for the Brooke It Forward Birthday Boxes that are ﬁlled with cake mix, icing, party supplies and gifts — and a special birthday card! The boxes are delivered through nonproﬁt partners, including children’s advocacy centers, CASA programs and food banks, whose personnel who know best how to get the boxes to children experiencing abuse, foster care, homelessness and/or hunger. “A birthday can be such a simple thing, but for a child who has experienced trauma or instability, knowing that someone took the time to celebrate them can mean so much,” Valladares said. “This contest gives our community’s children an opportunity to use their creativity to make another child’s birthday brighter.” According to Sarada Bonnett, director

of cultural arts and events for the city of Covington and event coordinator of the Three Rivers Art Festival, the partnership between the festival and Brooke It Forward gives young artists an opportunity to create something that reaches beyond the canvas. “Art has an incredible ability to connect people, bring communities together, and create moments of joy,” Bonnett said. “This contest allows our students to experience that ﬁrsthand by knowing their creativity can help make another child’s birthday special.” Three judges will review the submitted artwork and select the winners: Lisa Condrey Ward, owner of The Southern Hotel; Maggy Case-Eymard, executive director of the St. Tammany Art Association; and artist Rachael Walker. The public will also have a voice. All submitted artwork will be showcased at a community art reception and “Best of the Fest” vote on Nov. 10 at Christ Community Church, 221 N. New Hampshire St. in Covington, with sessions from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Attendees may vote for the community favorite, and the “Best of the Fest” winner will be reproduced as a birthday card, along with the juried selections, for inclusion in the Birthday Boxes. “We really hope the community will come out, not just to see the artwork, but to encourage these young artists and show them that their creativity matters,” Valladares said. Each birthday card will be personalized with the student artist’s ﬁrst name and last initial, grade and Scripture. “By featuring artwork created by children, our birthday cards create a special child-to-child connection, helping each recipient feel seen and celebrated in a way that speaks directly to them. With John 3:16-17 on the back, alongside recognition of the young cover artist, every card points children to the greatest source of love and hope while honoring the child who helped share that message,” said Marie RuddGregory, founder of the Brooke It Forward Foundation. Artwork drop-off is Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at OnPath Credit Union. More details and entry forms are available at brookeitforward.org.

Brunious and his friends will make legendary New Orleans music for a night of swinging rhythms, timeless tunes and authentic Crescent City spirit from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Perhaps no one has more eloquently described Brunious’ deep musical roots and his broad reach through the New Orleans musicscape than the landmark Preservation Hall, considered by many to be the world’s most important venue for traditional jazz. “Brunious boasts a towering musical family tree primarily flowered with trumpets,” writes the hall of its musical director. “He is the son of trumpet master John ‘Picket’ (‘Picky’) Brunious Sr., the Juilliardeducated pianist and trumpeter, gifted composer and arranger for artists such as Billy Eckstein and Cab Calloway and Nazimova ‘Chinee’ Santiago, the niece of guitarist and banjoist Willie Santiago. Hailing from New Orleans’ 7th Ward, Brunious first picked up a trumpet at 11 years old, began playing at Preservation Hall at 23

and was only 28 when he took over as a bandleader for 91-year-old Kid Thomas Valentine. He was the youngest musician to ever lead a Preservation Hall band and his older brother, John, also held the role of bandleader.” Brunious continues both Preservation Hall’s musical directorship and his decadeslong tenure as a bandleader at its 726 St. Peter St. venue in the French Quarter. “Mr. Brunious reﬂects an incredibly valuable family history and possesses both tangible and intangible qualities that make him entirely unique as a musician and elder statesperson,” said Preservation Hall Creative Director Ben Jaffe.“His dedication and lifetime commitment to his craft, in addition to his personal story, are both beautiful and singular. I have the highest regard and respect for Mr. Brunious as a musician’s musician. He is a son of this sacred tradition and a library of information and knowledge. We are all fortunate to have Mr. Brunious fulﬁlling such an important role.” The Dew Drop Jazz Hall also played its role in the history of jazz — built the year most music historians agree that New Orleans jazz was born — and now considered the world’s oldest virtually unaltered rural jazz dance hall. Some early jazz pioneers from New Orleans once crossed Lake Pontchartrain by boat to play and party there. Today, like everyone else, they cross the lake via the bridges to play

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS

ON STAGE

ROCKY HORROR: The “Rocky Horror Picture Show” will be shown three times over the weekend of Oct. 9 and 10 at Slidell Little Theatre — complete with a live shadow cast acting out key scenes of the cult hit; prop bags for audience interactivity; and plenty of pre-film merriment. Condolences to teen fans, but this one is only for audience members 21 years of age and older due to mature content. There will be two showings on Oct. 10, including one at midnight, each with its own pre-show party, and horror of horrors (or party of parties), on Friday night, Oct. 9, Rocky Horror will go disco when Studio 54 meets Frank-N-Furter! Serious disco attire expected. Tickets are $25 and include a prop bag; prop bags also available online and at the door. The entire event is dedicated to the legendary Tim Curry, who originated the iconic role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the sweet transvestite, in the original 1973 stage production and in the 1975 film adaptation. It defined the career of Curry (who died recently) and sparked a massive global cult phenomenon that continues unabated. “Rocky Horror” remains the longest-running theatrical release in film history. The storyline starts out like so many others, with an innocent young couple driving on a dark and stormy night, breaking down and seeking help a nearby castle. But that’s where normalcy ends. When the movie narrator opens the story saying, “I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey,” he is not kidding. Get tickets and all show details at slidelllittletheatre.org/tickets. ZOMBIES: Think “Grease” with a radioactive twist, and come to the “Zombie Prom” at 30 by Ninety Theatre, 880 Lafayette St., in Old Mandeville, weekends Oct. 10-25. Don’t let the high school setting fool you. This 1950sinspired tale is filled with rock ‘n’ roll and outrageous characters shot through with sufficient sci-fi to warrant its

own cult classic status. Set in the atomic age at Enrico Fermi High, a teenage girl named Toffee falls for classic bad boy Jonny. After pressure forces them apart, Jonny drives his motorcycle into a nuclear waste dump and returns from the dead as a glowing zombie determined to win her back. But will he be allowed to take her to the prom at the school where a zany, tyrannical principal makes the rules? And what happens if he is turned away? Plenty, and favorite rock ’n’ roll tunes keep the action moving. Directed by John Wesley, with assistance from Lauren Price; musical director Jonathan Sturcken, with assistance from Lilly Vita. Leading the cast are Addison Fitzmorris as Toffee; Liam Favre as Jonny Warner; KristiAnne Lyons as Miss Delilah Strict; and Nino Bonura Sr. as Eddie Flagrante.

INSTANT CLASSIC

Mandeville scores in final seconds to knock off Slidell, 22-15 BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

It was a moment that Mandeville might not have come back from a year ago. In a heavyweight battle between District 6-5A opponents, Slidell drove 66 yards in seven minutes to score on a fourth-and-goal QB sneak by Ricky Williams III with 2:42 left. The extra point would have tied the game, but a mishandled snap led to Dadrian Bartee running for his life. Bartee gathered himself and tossed a 2-point conversion pass to Cortez Thompson as the Tigers took a 1-point lead. “It starts with the brotherhood,” Mandeville sophomore QB Krew Collura said. “This team, we’re all best friends; we’re real close. We take pride in this — practices, film sessions, every aspect of the game; this team is different, and it showed tonight.” Collura calmly guided his team down the field and scored on a 2-yard run with 12 seconds left as the Skippers survived with a hard-fought 22-15 district win at L.V. McGinty Sr. Stadium on Oct. 1. “Our kids do a phenomenal job of talking to each other, and Landon (Lipps) was talking to the team after the game, and he mentioned that last year in this game, it was 14-7 and we had some adversity and we melted,” Mandeville coach Craig Jones said. “That did not happen this year. We worked through it. We grinded through it, and it speaks to the maturity and the culture we have right now.” A year ago, Slidell knocked off Mandeville on the same field as they pulled away in the second half; that wouldn’t happen again. Tied 7-7 at halftime, Mandeville (5-0,

Mandeville RB Creshaun McCollum breaks a long run early in the third quarter before being brought down by Slidell DB Jeff Harris on Oct. 1. 2-0) took the lead in the third quarter as the Skippers drove 91 yards in seven plays, capped by a 4-yard Collura run. The drive ate up ﬁve minutes and featured seven plays, all on the ground. But Mandeville could never pull away. On fourth-and-4 from the Slidell 32, Tigers senior Javonte Watkins tackled Collura for a loss, setting up his team’s go-ahead drive.

“It was just one of those games,” Slidell coach Damon Page said. “Mandeville is a good team. We were there the whole time. We played hard. It came down to the last few seconds. I’m proud of the way they responded tonight. We just didn’t score enough points.” After Slidell (3-2, 1-1) took the lead, the Tigers opted for a short kick that Mandeville’s Will Estep returned to the

O’Keefe leads Covington in district rout

Farmer Football 5

After Week 5 had only one Friday night game due to a combination of the Parish Fair and the threat of inclement weather, this week returns to normal with three marquee district matchups on Friday. Let’s take a look. First, one of the parish’s biggest rivalries: Covington (3-2, 1-1) travels to Sidney Theriot Joseph Stadium to take on undefeated Mandeville (5-0, 2-0). The Halm Skippers look like they are on a mission this year after surviving with a 22-15 win at Slidell last week, but this game is always interesting.

50. After a late hit on the ﬁrst play of the drive improved the Skippers’ fortunes even more, Slidell senior safety Taurean McClelland’s sack set up a key third-andlong. Collura answered with a 25-yard run to the 7. A few plays later, he scored on a 2-yard QB draw to regain the lead. “I don’t know if we could have called it

Covington senior QB Matthew O’Keefe accounted for five TDs during a 40-7 win over Fontainebleau on Oct. 1.

There’s no place like home, just ask the Covington football team. A week after struggling in their district opener, the Lions racked up 477 yards of offense to earn a dominating 40-7 District 6-5A win over Fontainebleau at Jack Salter Stadium on Oct. 1. Despite the dominant scoreline, Covington coach Greg Salter said he still wants more consistency from his club. “Our guys responded well from last week’s road district opening loss to Northshore, but there’s still lots to improve on,” he said. “At times, we had some sloppy tackling and too many penalties, which we

St. Tammany’s leading rusher reminds his coach of NFL Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Pope John Paul II fullback Evan Bergeron did not start playing tackle football until he was a freshman. He was originally an offensive lineman and linebacker before moving to the backﬁeld as a sophomore, where he was the thirdstring fullback in a crowded, talented group last season. “There was a high bar to clear,” Bergeron said. “I knew last year that I would get some playing time after halftime if we had a big lead. I was really looking forward to ﬁlling that role this season.” Bergeron wasted no time taking over the starting role as he amassed 246 yards and 4 TDs, averaging 22.4 yards per carry, in the season opener against Thomas Jefferson. PJP II coach Philip Pigott called

That’s what makes him special in our offense.” Bergeron was a bit tonguein-cheek when he said Pigott threw him in at fullback one day because there was no one to ﬁll the position as a sophomore.

ST. TAMMANY FOOTBALL WEEK 5 RECAP Week 5 of the 2026 football season is ofﬁcially in the books as the season hits its halfway point. Keep reading to see how your team did.

THURSDAY, OCT 1

COVINGTON 40, FONTAINEBLEAU 7: See story, Page 1B. COUNTRY DAY 49, NORTHLAKE CHRISTIAN 0: The Wolverines (0-4) continued their offensive struggles while Country Day (2-3) finished the game right at their season average for points. LAKESHORE 41, BELLE CHASSE 34: The Titans (2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak as senior QB Brody Loudermilk rushed for four scores in a home win. Loudermilk rushed for 134 yards and 4 TDs on 20 carries and threw for 100 yards on 6-of-7 passing. His scores, three of which came in the second half, were on runs of 19, 3, 30 and 8 yards. Gareth Hernandez added 98 yards rushing and a score on 10 carries, while junior Izzy Reimonenq posted 46 yards and a TD on eight carries. The game was close throughout as Lakeshore outgained Belle Chasse by just five yards, 425-420, and neither team committed a turnover. MANDEVILLE 22, SLIDELL 15: See story, Page 1B. NORTHSHORE 41, PONCHATOULA 38: It certainly wasn’t easy, but the Panthers found a way to improve to 5-0 for what is reportedly the first time in school history. Sophomore wide receiver AJ Bright was a big part of the comeback victory, hauling in 8 catches for 270 yards and 4 TDs. Junior Saivion Harris started at QB before senior JJ Gonzales entered after missing last week’s game with a sprained ankle. Gonzales’ first pass was a TD strike to Bright, who caught two TDs from each quarterback. Gonzales also tossed a score to Brendell Vedol. The Panthers (5-0, 2-0) also saw senior RB Justus Carlton return in the second half, and he scored once. “Our start was okay, but we could never pull away,” Northshore coach Bobby Sanders said. “It was just back and forth all night. We stressed all week that Ponchatoula’s 0-4 record was not an indication of the type of team we were playing. They took it to us, and they have good players. It wouldn’t be long until they turn it around. “I told the team after that game that there were a lot of mistakes and things that we need to correct, but it’s better to do that after a win. They stuck together. It was another gritty team win, which is what this team has done thus far this season. I was proud of them for that.” PJP II 57, MORRIS JEFF 0: See story, Page 3B. PEARL RIVER 53, JEWEL SUMNER 27: The Rebels’ offense continued its hot stretch as Pearl River (3-2) pushed its win streak to three games with a quality road win. Senior RB Andrew Sikes was a workhorse, racking up 158 yards and 3 TDs on 25 carries. Kole Doss (3 carries, 135 yards, 2 TDs) and Kendrick Lee (3 carries, 14 yards, TD) also scored. While the offense hummed along, the defense recovered five fumbles, and junior Ja’ty Maryland returned an interception 45 yards for a score. Merrick Murphy recovered two fumbles and forced one, while Andrew Barron, Ethan Bowman and Lee recovered one fumble each. The Rebels took control of the game by racing out to a 34-0 halftime lead. Doss opened the scoring with a 64-yard TD run, followed by Sikes’ first TD run — a 7-yard scamper. Barron’s fumble recovery set up a Sikes 3-yard TD run for a 20-0 lead. Angel Perez hauled in a 21-yard TD reception from Romy Berel (72 yards passing) before Maryland’s pick-6 set the halftime score. In the second half, Doss scored on a 70yard run to push the lead to an insurmountable 40-0 margin. The other Pearl River touchdowns came on a 5-yard Sikes run and a 14-yard Lee rush. “It was a good team win for us and a step in the right direction from where we started this season,” Pearl River coach Jerry Leonard said. “We had a lot of self-inflicted wounds in the first two ballgames, and we talked about how to clean that up. We’ve been able to do that for the most part, and the defense got a few takeaways. Everything just fell into place, and we took advantage of that last night.” KENNEDY 42, SALMEN 40: See story, Page 3B. ST. PAUL’S 14, HAMMOND 12: The Wolves (3-2, 2-0) pushed their District 6-5A win streak to 21 games, rallying twice to earn a road victory. St. Paul’s touchdowns came on a long Jack Henry Seal TD run and a Patrick Gahagan 8-yard scoring scamper. The Wolves also had a long score called back on a penalty. “Hats off to Hammond’s offense and defense because they took it to us and kept us off the field,” St. Paul’s coach Joshua Gast said. “We only ran 33 plays on offense. They put together some long drives, and our defense bent but didn’t break. It came down to the extra points really.” The Tornadoes scored first before the Wolves answered for a 7-6 halftime lead. Hammond (2-3, 0-2) regained the lead in the third quarter, but the Wolves’ defense foiled the 2-point conversion attempt. St. Paul’s answered on the ensuing drive. The Wolves nearly put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter, but an interception gave Hammond one last chance. St. Paul’s forced a turnover on downs, allowing the visitors to kneel out the clock. “Coming off a big homecoming win last week, you try to prepare your kids for what on paper looks like a trap game because Hammond has a talented team,” Gast said. “I felt like we let our guard down a little, but luckily, we didn’t play our best game and got away with a victory.

Hannan scores in all 3 phases against St. Thomas Aquinas

BY JASON RUSSELL Contributing writer

Football coaches always preach that teams have to play well in all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams — to be successful. Hannan modeled that mantra to perfection on Oct. 2. The Hawks got three touchdown runs from Riley Jones and a defensive and special teams touchdown by Paul Hoyt to run away with a 38-14 home win over St. Thomas Aquinas. While Jones pounded out 81 yards and three rushing TDs, it was the play of Hoyt that lifted the Hawks and kept the Falcons at bay. Hoyt got things rolling on STA’s second possession, dropping Falcons quarterback Brycelyn Young for a sack, forcing a fumble, then picking up the ball and rumbling 42 yards for the score less than four minutes into the game. Hannan scored twice more in the ﬁrst half to take a 20-0 halftime lead that grew to 26-0 on a 45-yard scoring jaunt by Jones in the ﬁrst minute of the second half. STA showed some life when Cash Plaisance returned the ensuing kickoff 92 yards to cut the lead to 26-7, but Hoyt put a stop to any hopes of a comeback. The senior defensive back took a lateral on the ensuing kickoff and streaked down the sideline for a 97-yard score as Hannan cruised the rest of the way. Hawks coach Steve Soper could barely contain himself when talking about Hoyt’s contributions. “Paul is a huge cog in this big machine for us,” Soper said. “He is one of the guys that makes it all work.” Hoyt said he knew he had to do his part to get Hannan any extra points he could. “It was a big momentum shift, and in football, momentum is a big thing,” he said. “When you can steal a touchdown like that, it’s a big thing for the offense and defense. Everybody just gets behind that energy and gets riled up.” Hoyt smiled when talking about answering STA’s kickoff return with one of his own. “When they scored, I got up off the bench and said, ‘Let’s go match it,’ and we did it,” he said. Jones capped off his big night with a 4-yard TD run midway through the third quarter, and STA (3-2) added a 40-yard TD run by Plaisance in the fourth quarter. Soper said he was very happy with his team’s running game. “We had a good game plan going in, and our line did a good job,” he said. “Their front did a good job early, but we were able to wear them down and run it against them.” While the TDs lit up the scoreboard, Hannan’s defense held STA to less than 100 yards

be a tough battle like it always is, and we’ll start looking toward Franklinton next week.” Hoyt agreed: “This brings us into district on a high note and gets us to keep working. We have a pretty good district, and we want to be district champs and are going to do whatever it takes to win it.” SCORE BY QUARTERS

PJP II continues dominant play with 57-0 win over Morris Jeff BY DAVE WOODALL Contributing writer

Just as he has all season, junior fullback Evan Bergeron set the tone for the Pope John Paul II football team. But he also got plenty of help as the Jaguars scored early and often en route to a 57-0 rout of Morris Jeff at Lester Latino Field on Oct. 1. Bergeron scored on a 50-yard touchdown run just one minute into the game to jump out to a 7-0 advantage. On the ensuing PJP II series, sophomore QB Gage Trainor hit Cole McGhee for a 60yard TD catch to take a 14-0 lead midway through the ﬁrst quarter. Bergeron added a 20-yard TD run a few moments later. The PJP II defense, which held

Morris Jeff to eight yards in the game, got in on the scoring as King Green picked off a pass and returned it 23 yards for a touchdown for a 27-0 first-quarter lead. “Earlier in the game I had made a mistake,” said Green. “But they ran the same play later, and I read it right this time for the score. I love our guys on defense. We come out and practice hard. Our coaches are always on us to make sure we understand our assignments. We came into the game tonight to try and dominate, and that’s exactly what we did.” After a safety 90 seconds into the second quarter, Bergeron finished his three-touchdown night with a 3-yard TD run, finishing with 136 yards rushing on nine carries. Junior Kyson Rodriguez scored on a 6-yard TD run to set the 43-0

halftime lead. He added a 12-yard TD run in the third quarter. “We knew that we would be favored, but we still wanted to play up to our standard,” said McGhee, who had 175 all-purpose yards in the ﬁrst half. “We knew what we could do and tried not to take them for granted. Our defense really stepped up. They are a bunch of special guys who are really good. The defense set up our offense all night and kept (Morris Jeff) off the scoreboard.” Eighth-grader Khang Nguyen added a 12-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to cap a dominating performance. PJP II coach Philip Pigott said he was proud of his team’s focus during its second straight shutout. “They had some players that could really go, but our defense did

a good job of holding them down. It’s challenging to come out and play a game that you are favored to win and have the kids play to their standards,” Pigott said. “But we challenged them. Every week we are trying to be our best selves. We won big, but we still have things to clean up. We have another big challenge ahead as we step into the 3A arena. We are excited to get to work and not waste any time.” The Jaguars (4-1) open District 8-3A play at home against Loranger on Oct. 9.

A host of Mandeville defenders — Jeffrey Evans (99), Caeden Martin (5), Roy Magee (30) and Keith McGinnis (4) — stopped Slidell QB Ricky Williams III close to the goal line in the fourth quarter. Williams was able to score on a subsequent play.

that way five weeks ago, but he’s healthy now so it opens up what we can do,” Jones said. Collura, who finished with 95 yards rushing and 2 TDs on 14 carries to go with 57 yards passing, credited his offensive line with opening a massive hole on his final TD run. The Mandeville defense held Slidell nearly 20 points below its season average. Junior linebacker Caeden Martin, whose secondquarter fumble recovery led to the Skippers’ lone first-half scoring drive, said the defense was focused on the basics. “We knew we had to set the edges, and we’ve been working all week on containing the quarterback and the running back,” Martin said. “That was our main goal, and we did what we had to do. My fumble recovery (in the second quarter) was big because it got our offense back the ball, and they went down and scored.” Slidell relied on its one-two punch of senior RB Ja’Kwan Jones (18 carries, 100 yards) and Williams (13 carries, 55 yards, TD), who also threw for 131 yards and a TD on 11-of-19 passing. The Slidell defense also had a standout night, holding Mandeville to 28 points below its season

And asked them when was the last time Mandeville has been held to seven points in a half? We’re playing some good ball. We have some things to work on, but I can’t be upset with tonight’s performance. We just have to watch the tape and see what we can do better.” The Tigers dominated much of the ﬁrst half, holding the Skippers to just 4 yards in the ﬁrst quarter,

but a red-zone turnover allowed the visitors to rally for a 7-7 halftime tie. Both first-half scores came off turnovers. The Tigers took an early lead as Jeff Harris picked off a pass near midfield. Then, Slidell’s offense used a couple of big plays to score. The first play was a 30yard middle screen to Jones on third down. That set up a highlightreel catch at the pylon by Michael Thompson for a 28-yard TD and a 7-0 lead. The Tigers were driving to try to double their advantage, but Mandeville’s Martin recovered a

Blocked FG decides win for Kennedy in shootout with Salmen BY DARRELL WILLIAMS Contributing writer

Kennedy coach Lynaris Elpheage was relieved but not so happy after the Cougars escaped with a 42-40 victory against Salmen on Oct. 1 at Pan American Stadium. Grayson Powell blocked a 45yard ﬁeld goal attempt by Salmen kicker Isaac Plinksi with no time left to secure the win. It was the fourth win in a row for the Cougars (4-1), No. 8 in the LHSAA Class 4A rankings, after losing their season opener to Riverside Academy. Just like after that game, Elpheage had choice words for his team after it committed 15 penalties for 120 yards, dropped a slew of passes and was often out of position. “We had won three consecutive

games, and I felt that we were hitting our stride,” Elpheage said. “But we were not disciplined (against Salmen). We had a bad week of practice, and we played bad (Thursday night). “We have to go back to the drawing board and get some things straightened out.” Kennedy quarterback Dorrian Dunham completed 13 of 30 passes but for 349 yards and three touchdowns. His third touchdown — a 57-yard pass to Semaj Lyons — came on his ﬁnal pass with 2:58 left in the game and gave the Cougars a 42-33 lead. However, a 31-yard kickoff return to the 45 put Salmen in good position. The Spartans (2-3) scored seven plays later on a 9-yard run by quarterback Da’John Howard

with 51 seconds left, bringing them to 42-40. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the point-after kick enabled Salmen to kick off from the Kennedy 45. The Spartans recovered an onside kick at the 36. The attempted winning ﬁeld goal try came with one second left. “We keep fighting — every game,” Spartans coach Eric Chuter said. “We kept coming back in this game and never were out of it. I think special teams play and our not having a lot of offense in the third quarter was the difference in the game. (Kennedy) is a good team, and they made a lot of big plays.” After a back-and-forth ﬁrst half, there was one score in the third quarter — a 1-yard dive by Dun-

ham that gave the Cougars a 28-20 lead at the 7:53 mark. A big part of Salmen’s lack of punch in the third quarter could be to it abandoning its running game. After running back Kordé Harris gained 135 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries in the ﬁrst half, he only had two carries for 24 yards until the ﬁnal minutes of the third quarter. “My fullback (Reginald Bouie) also plays defense, and the backup fullback (Savolia Calahan) was cramping really bad,” Chuter said. “So, we just kind of rested (Harris).” With Harris and Howard leading the way in the fourth quarter, Salmen was able to put itself in position to win, the least of which was not lost on Elpheage. “After we lost in our opener, it

was a wake-up call,” he said. “I’m hoping this will have a similar effect on our team.” The Cougars led 22-20 at halftime despite Harris’ dominance. The score was tied, 14-14, after Harris’ 3-yard touchdown run with 4:14 left in the ﬁrst half. However, Kennedy wide receiver Rashad Jackson returned the ensuing pooch kick 71 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown. Jaylon Morgan ran in the two-point conversion for a 22-14 lead. Howard brought Salmen right back. He rushed for 34 yards on the ﬁrst two plays of the possession. Harris then broke loose for a 23-yard run to the Kennedy 8. On fourth-and-goal, Harris burst up the middle for a 4-yard touchdown run with 1:51 left in the half.

Mandeville coach Danny Tullis was honored for his 800th win before the Skippers’ match against E.D. White on Sept. 29.

Mandeville’s Tullis honored for win No. 800 and counting BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Mandeville volleyball coach Danny Tullis had no idea the celebration that awaitedhim as he walked into his team’s gym on Sept. 29. The longtime head coach had earned his 800th career victory on Sept. 17 during a road sweep of Christ Episcopal, but the Skippers delayed the celebration until the next home match. “I knew I was close to either 700, 800 or 900, but I didn’t remember which hundred,” Tullis said with a chuckle. “I’m just thankful that my family is such a big part of what I do. We took a picture at the end with Ansley, Ali, and Diana, and we FaceTimed with Collin so he could be in the picture on the phone. “I knew when I was getting close, but I was really surprised that I hit it. I was so clueless that one of my players told me congratulations about something at dinner, and I didn’t even know what she was talking about. I just smiled and nodded, and Ali kind of played it off too.” Faith, family and volleyball — the Tullis way, one could say. The Skippers took care of business against E.D. White with a 25-

17, 26-24, 25-22 sweep in a match where nine different Mandeville players recorded a kill and 10 had at least one dig. Tullis was reflective after surpassing another milestone while also racking up win No. 803 with a sweep over his good friend, Cardinal’s coach Sarah Johnson. “No. 1, I think it says that I’m getting old,” Tullis said with a laugh. “It’s just one of those things where you know you had to be involved for a long time to get to this point, and you had to impact many lives and let those lives impact you.” His first coaching job was at Northshore, where he served as an assistant coach under Sandy Blanchard for one season. Then, he was the head coach at Salmen for six years. He moved to Fontainebleau for a seven-year run that included a state title in 2011. Then he moved to Pope John Paul II in 2013, where he won ﬁve state titles from 2014-19 — a period when the Jaguars were consistently ranked among the top prep teams in the nation. Tullis moved to Slidell after the 2022 season, where he amassed a 110-17 record, including the last two Division I state championships. The 54-year-old boasts eight state titles at three different schools.

Still, Tullis said while the spotlight was focused on his accomplishment, he had another goal in mind. “As much as I love that my family was there to celebrate with me, they are absolutely the biggest part of it. Without my family, it just wouldn’t mean anything. But my focus is and always will be the next match we’re playing,” Tullis said. His team shared that focus the following night as the Skippers (18-1) recorded their sixth straight sweep, winning 25-16, 25-17, 25-21 over Division II state runner-up St. Scholastica. Mia Duncan, Farrah Provance and Grace Piatolly each recorded 11 kills. With win No. 804 in the rearview mirror, Tullis said the focus remains the same — constant improvement for the team ranked No. 1 in the Division I LHSAA power rankings. “Good players practice until they get it right, and great players practice until they never get it wrong,” Tullis said. “I told the team that quote the other day. That’s what we’re trying to instill in the team. We want it to be like breathing, and then you’ll never forget how to execute. That’s how you win. I’m always focused on how to be

two-win teams in the state after playing a gauntlet of a nondistrict schedule. Now, they have a chance to open district play with a win and take a huge step toward a district title. Three games. Three potential district victories. Three contests that will surely be entertaining. The full parish schedule is below, but ﬁrst, our weekly Farmer Football 5 rankings.

Continued from page 1B Last year, Mandeville fell behind early, then scored 26 unanswered points to earn a comfortable victory. Two years ago, the game was an absolute barnburner in a battle of unbeaten teams that the Skippers won 35-33 as they ran out the clock after stopping the potential game-tying 2-point conversion. Covington is coming off an impressive district win where senior QB Matthew O’Keefe accounted for ﬁve touchdowns, and the defense looked solid. In a season of ups and downs for the Lions, the keys to Friday night are simple — run the ball and keep Mandeville’s explosive players in front of you. What will happen in The Riot Zone on Friday is anyone’s guess, but it’s sure to be entertaining. Across the parish, undefeated Northshore (5-0, 2-0) welcomes surging St. Paul’s (3-2, 2-0) in a battle between two teams undefeated in district play. To raise the stakes, St. Paul’s is riding a 21-game District 6-5A win streak. Oh yeah, and the winner will be in prime position to make a district title run. Panther Stadium will be rocking, but both teams are coming off lackluster performances last week. Northshore had to survive with a 41-38 win at Ponchatoula, the same Green Wave team that St. Paul’s shut out 44-0 in Week 4. That should warn the Panthers that this game will be tough. The good news for Northshore is that quarterback JJ Gonzales and running back Justus Carlton both returned from injury in the Ponchatoula game, and they were big reasons why the Panthers rallied and won. Northshore can’t

Mandeville DB Dylan Henry breaks up a pass intended for Slidell WR Dreyk Wilson on Oct. 1. have another letdown like they did last Thursday. St. Paul’s is in the same boat. The Wolves survived on the road at Hammond, but coach Joshua Gast admitted that his team might have been looking ahead a little bit. The Wolves should be squarely focused on Northshore this week, and it should make for an exciting football game. If those two games weren’t enough, there’s also Salmen at Pearl River, the District 7-4A opener for both teams. Longtime Salmen coach Jerry Leonard is hosting his former team for the ﬁrst time since his return to coaching two years ago. And yes, it is that, but as Leonard told me last week, the message in the locker room has nothing to do with him coaching against Salmen. “It’s going to be another football game for Pearl River, and we’re

going to do the best we can to go out and put the best product on the ﬁeld that we can and try to get a victory,” Leonard said. That’s a seasoned answer from a longtime coach, and if the past three weeks are any indication, the product in the Pearl this Friday will be fun to watch. The Rebels have scored 138 points during their current 3-game win streak. Quarterback Romy Berel led the parish in passing through four weeks, and the Pearl River defense forced six turnovers last week. Translation — the Rebels (3-2) are playing more consistently, and it’s leading to some good football. While Pearl River enters the game on a high note, Salmen (2-3) enters after a hard-fought road loss to Kennedy when a lastsecond ﬁeld goal was blocked. The Spartans are one of the best

1 | Mandeville | 5-0, 2-0 (Last week: 1) This week: vs. Covington The Skippers’ defense showed me something against Slidell. The Tigers are a good offensive unit, and Mandeville held them to two TDs in an absolute slugfest of a victory. The win over Slidell wasn’t pretty, but it was something that good teams need to be able to do — win close games. The Skippers hadn’t been tested like that yet, so it was a key exam to pass. Now comes an emotional game against rival Covington. 2 | Northshore | 5-0, 2-0 (Last week: 2) This week: vs. St. Paul’s I’ll take the blame for this one, Coach. The Panthers made a bunch of mistakes on the road against a winless Ponchatoula team. But they still found a way to win, and key contributors JJ Gonzales and Justus Carlton returned to the field. Northshore is 5-0 for the first time ever, and they get St. Paul’s this week to prove if the historic start is for real. No pressure, just another opportunity to go 1-0, like they have all season. 3 | Slidell | 3-2, 1-1 (Last week: 4) This week: vs. Hammond It’s not often that a team moves up in the rankings after a loss, but Slidell impressed me that much with their performance against Mandeville. The defense held the Skippers to 4 yards in the first quarter and made the entire game a battle. The Tigers need to clean

up their penalties if they want to unlock their true potential, but they should be considered the favorites in each of their remaining district games until Week 10. 4 | Salmen | 2-3 (Last week: 3) This week: at Pearl River The Spartans have played a brutal nondistrict schedule, so their record is deceiving. After rallying for the win on a last-second ﬁeld goal against Amite, the Spartans had a last-second ﬁeld goal blocked against Kennedy. This team really has seen it all, and it’s only Week 6. The good news is that District 7-4A play opens this week, and there is not a more prepared team in the parish. 5 | Pope John Paul II | 4-1 (Last week: 5) This week: vs. Loranger The Jaguars enter District 8-3A play on a hot streak. PJP II has outscored its opponents 135-27 over the last three games. The offense is humming along, with fullback Evan Bergeron leading the way as Loranger comes to town. If PJP II can enter its bye week on a four-game win streak, the sky is the limit for the rest of the season. On the fringe: St. Paul’s, Hannan

COVINGTON

Continued from page 1B must clean up moving forward. The district foes only get tougher from here on. We’ll enjoy the win, but we must improve to stay in contention.” Covington (3-2, 1-1) unleashed an explosive, quickstrike offense, triggered by senior QB Matthew O’Keefe, who accounted for 5 TDs. He rushed for a game-high 125 yards on just 12 carries, tallying three times on runs of 10, 1 and 62 yards. “Our O-line did an outstanding job opening some big holes, and I had lots of time in the pocket. We did a good job executing our offense. When the line, the backs and our receivers play strong together, we have so much potential. We trust each other,” said O’Keefe, who also threw for 212 yards and 2 TDs on 9 of 12 passing. The Lions scored ﬁrst on O’Keefe’s 10-yard scamper with just over a minute left in the ﬁrst quarter. The Bulldogs hung tough, trailing 7-0 entering the second quarter, until O’Keefe hooked up with senior wideout Braeshun Weary for a 44-yard strike to double the lead. Fontainebleau (1-4, 0-2) battled back as senior QB Logan Astugue tallied on a 1-yard keeper to cut the lead to 14-7 midway through the second quarter, but that’s as close as the Bulldogs would get as the Lions pulled away

with 26 unanswered points. Weary, a South Alabama commitment, led Covington in the air, hauling in four passes for 150 yards, including scores of 44 and 74 yards. “Matthew (O’Keefe) and I have played together since the seventh grade, so we know each other extremely well, and there’s so much trust between us. We have a strong bond, and he knows I’ll go up and get the ball when he comes my way,” Weary said. “I’m an explosive receiver, using my speed to get open. I want the ball in my hands so I can make plays and help my teammates.” Covington started to pull away when senior RB Rodney Clark scored on a 57-yard run to set the 21-7 halftime lead. O’Keefe took over in the second half and accounted for the Lions’ ﬁnal three scores. That surge started on the opening play of the second half as O’Keefe pitched the ball to Weary in motion from the left, who went untouched into the end zone for a 74yard scoring toss. Just six minutes later, O’Keefe tallied his second rushing TD after beating a couple of defenders and racing up the sidelines for a 62yard TD run. He closed out the scoring on a QB keeper from a yard out in the opening 20 seconds of the fourth quarter. The Lions’ defense did more than its fair share, spearheaded by senior middle linebacker Steele Rog-

ers’ game-high 17 tackles, including 13 solo stops and two sacks. “We probably had our best week of practice heading into the game, with Coach Salter stressing going full speed every rep and playing physical. He told us that if we played like we practiced, we’d get the outcome we wanted. We made some mistakes, but we’ll be able to clean them up,” said Rogers, who leads the team with 55 stops this season. Senior defensive lineman Davion Brister (6-foot, 250 pounds) made his presence felt, adding four tackles with a stop for loss and a quarterback hurry. “Our defensive mindset is always to play with physicality, and that’s when we’re at our best. We were locked in and made the plays to help our offense. We have great defensive chemistry, and we flow to the ball,” Brister said. Fontainebleau junior running backs Sheldon Asmore (15 carries, 120 yards) and Landon Suhre (13 carries, 103 yards) provided the bulk of the Bulldogs’ 293 yards of offense. Fontainebleau first-year coach Chris Womack said his team improved against Covington, but it was not enough. “It was a better team effort than last week against Slidell, but there’s still lots of work to do. Early in the first half, we were with them, but we didn’t have enough big plays to keep us in it. We missed way too many tackles, and that gave them some

Fontainebleau was without two starting offensive linemen, junior Eli Girstner and sophomore Beau Browning, which added some adversity for the Bulldogs’ offensive efforts. “We don’t have much depth, and that’s one of our problems,” Womack said. “We had numerous defen-

sive players in the right spot but just couldn’t make enough stops. Offensively, we had a couple good drives, running the ball, but we couldn’t sustain it.” Covington travels to undefeated Mandeville (5-0, 2-0) for a key district game on Oct. 9, while Fontainebleau will host Ponchatoula (0-5, 0-2) the same night.

I feel like I can outlast people when it comes to that.” Pigott said Bergeron reminds him of NFL Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis. “He’s a load to bring down,” Pigott said. “He runs low. He always keeps his feet moving, and he’s slippery too. Three or four guys will have him wrapped up, and somehow he gets out of it. It’s been fun coaching him.” Now, Bergeron said his

WHEREAS, Coastal Environ‐ mental Services of LA, LLC (“Coastal”) is cur‐ rently contracted with the City of Slidell to provide, as a fee service for City residents, residen‐ tial waste collection services (currently garbage collection and recycling). WHEREAS, Sec‐ tion 23-2(c) of the City’s Code states that, “Should the council approve any petition by its garbage contractor for a rate increase due to material and unforeseen changes in the cost of opera‐ tions which are not otherwise the basis for any rate adjust‐ ment, it may add all or a portion of said rate increase to the residential unit fee provided for in this section.” WHEREAS, simi‐ larly, Section 10.B of the collection contract between the City and Coastal provides: Changes in Opera‐ tion. No sooner than January 1, 2026, CES may petition the City for addi‐ tional rate and price adjustments on the basis of material or unforeseen changes in the cost of opera‐ tions which are not otherwise the basis of any other rate ad‐ justment herein, in‐ cluding but not lim‐ ited to changes in the cost of diesel fuel above $3.40 per gallon, CPI in‐ creases greater than 5%, changes in the cost of disposal or changes in the dis‐ posal facility (each only to the extent not reflected in any CPI increase). At the time of any such pe‐ tition, CES shall provide the City with all documents and records in rea‐ sonable form and sufficient detail to reasonably establish the necessity of any requested rate ad‐ justment. The City shall not unreason‐ ably withhold, con‐ dition, or delay its consent to any re‐ quested rate in‐ crease. WHEREAS, based on the significant in‐ crease in the cost of diesel fuel over the months, Coastal submitted a request to the City for a fuel surcharge to be in‐ cluded in its per Residential Unit service rate. WHEREAS, the Council believes Coastal’s request is reasonable, substan‐ tiated, and based on material and unfore‐ seen changes in Coastal’s cost of op‐ erations which ap‐ pear unlikely to de‐ crease in the nearterm. WHEREAS, it is necessary to ac‐ count for the likely fluctuations in diesel fuel prices from month to month when ap‐ proving a fuel sur‐ charge for each billing period. NOW THERE‐ FORE, BE IT OR‐ DAINED by the Slidell City Council that a fuel surcharge of not to exceed Two Dollars and No/100 ($2.00) per Residen‐ tial Unit is autho‐ rized to be paid by the City to Coastal per month for any month in which (i) diesel fuel is above, on average, Three Dollars and 40/100 ($3.40) per gallon, (ii) the fuel sur‐ charge is requested and adequately sup‐ ported by Coastal to the City’s finance department, and (iii) the requested fuel surcharge is ap‐ proved by the City’s finance department, until such time as the Council autho‐ rizes the termina‐ tion/modification of said fuel surcharge or the collection contract with Coastal expires/ter‐ minates, whichever is earlier. The actual amount of any monthly future sur‐ charge (not to ex‐ ceed Two Dollars and No Cents ($2.00) per Residen‐ tial Unit) shall be the amount ap‐ proved by the City’s
