Commission on Oct. 19. He and his HI & Associates are asking that 41 of the 55 just annexed acres be rezoned as R3 High Density Residential. The remaining 14 acres would be zoned for commercial use. Approval from zoning commissioners — which recommended city annexation of the property

this past August — would allow the subdivision plan to keep moving ahead through the parish regulatory process. The area of proposed development is on the south side of U.S. Hwy. 190 and bordered on the west by Brookter Street. It is about six blocks southwest of Northshore High School and on the other side

of I-10 from Fremaux Town Center. The land is owned by Soccer Field LLC, of Slidell, and a vast majority of it is wooded. The grassy Kingspoint Soccer Fields sits in the southwest corner of the acreage and would be demolished to become part of the new subdivision if the plan is approved.

Cooper forms task force on tax reforms BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

With a key vote on St. Tammany Parish taxes set for December, Parish President Mike Cooper is forming a task force to examine how the government spends taxpayer money and determine whether reforms are needed. The first meeting is expected on Oct. 28. The RESET Task Force, announced at an Oct. 14 news conference in front of the St. Tammany Parish Justice Center in Covington, will include members from across parish agencies. Cooper said the intent is to pinpoint the parish’s areas of greatest needs. It comes as elected officials across the parish are actively promoting the “Keep St. Tammany Safe” initiative to ensure adequate funding of public safety agencies through voter approval of a proposed ¼-cent sales tax on Dec. 12. “Ultimately, this is about being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and ensuring that St. Tammany Parish remains a place where families and businesses can thrive for generations to come,” Cooper said. St. Tammany leaders have stressed for years that the funding system in the parish needs major changes. Because many agencies have taxes that were approved for specific uses by voters over the years, it has created a landscape where some services lack adequate funding while others are arguably flush with cash.

NAMI to break ground on ‘tiny village’ BY TAMMY NUNEZ

Contributing writer

As a teenager, Thomas Dudoussat Jr.’s life teemed with possibility. Full of vivacity, hope and potential, Dudoussat worked at Elmwood Plantation, the banquet hall, and later fabricated decorative copper pieces with his father. “He was talented, happy, and in love with a young woman he hoped to marry,” mother Ann recalled. That all stopped when he became ill at age 19.

“Thomas became paranoid, insisted on moving out, and over the years lived in three apartments in New Orleans and Metairie. None of them were safe for him,” his mother said. Living on his own, she said he was often victimized. Dudoussat eventually enrolled in NAMI residential housing, a lifeline that provided enhanced support to keep him independent and safe. “For the first time, Thomas had support all day,” Ann Dudoussat recalled. “He receives daily support from staff and is encouraged to stay as independent as possible.”

Today, Thomas Dudoussat is 48 and still lives safely and independently with support from NAMI. “Just as important, he has a community of people who understand him,” his mother said. “Without them, I honestly don’t know what would have become of my son. Thomas knows he is loved and cared for, and I believe every resident does. That is why the Tiny Homes project means so much to me. It will give more of our most vulnerable men and women a safe home.”

Board readies second set of stipends to raise teacher pay BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

The St. Tammany Parish School Board has given preliminary approval to a pay stipend for all of its 6,000 employees, adding to an earlier stipend they handed out in the summer as they work to finalize contract negotiations with the local teachers’ union. The measure, which is expected to get final approval on Nov. 12, will pay $2,000 to all certificated employees, while other staff members

will receive $1,000 each. In July, the board approved stipends of $500 and $350, respectively. The stipends go beyond the mandate Gov. Jeff Landry issued to school boards in a recent executive order that tasked them with raising teacher pay, in which some school positions had been left out. The added stipends are expected to cost the district $1.8 million in addition to the $9 million

they already had factored into the budget, interim Superintendent Steve Alfonso said following the board’s Oct. 15 meeting in Covington. “We talked about the cost and the effect it would have on the budget, and we thought it was a good thing to do,” Alfonso said. The decision came after a one-hour executive session between the board and Alfonso at the CJ Schoen Ad-

ditional agreement to buy the property, and he already has invested $200,000 in engineering, surveying and legal fees. If the subdivision proposal is approved, Vallee would then also have to pay for infrastructure studies that look as such issues and the impacts on drainage and traffic. “If this gets approved, I plan on setting up a town-hall type of meeting to allow local residents to come and voice their concerns and learn more about the project,” Vallee said. If all goes right for him, the developer says closing would come sometime in December or shortly after the start of 2027, with construction not starting until after the infrastructure studies are completed. St. Tammany is a parish negotiating mixed messages when it comes to housing developments. Earlier this year, consultants performing a housing study commissioned by the parish recommended adding up to 17,300 new homes in the next four years to keep pace with the projected growth of jobs and population. Yet two months ago, a plan by Vallee to build two subdivisions near Goodbee on the western side of St. Tammany was shot down by Parish President Mike Cooper, who vetoed the St. Tammany Parish Council’s approval of the projects, saying growth must be balanced with sufficient infrastructure and the needs of residents. “Over the past several years, we have made record investments in our infrastructure, overhauled our development practices to be more aligned with our citizens’ values, and worked to ensure that growth is managed responsibly,” Cooper said. “High-density developments in areas with planned, but not yet designed or funded infrastructure improvements, would have undermined the progress we have worked so hard to achieve.” The issue of how Vallee’s planned development at Kingspoint would impact local infrastructure also came up during the Slidell City Council’s discussion and vote on annexation. No critics of the subdivision proposal were present at the annexation meeting, and Council member Megan Haggerty cast the sole vote against the request by Valle’s development company. She proposed moving the request until November so that the council could “thoughtfully, strategically and responsibly” study it a bit longer. In the end, her request failed 5-4 and annexation passed 8-1. As a critic of the proposal of a new subdivision, she said, “Every new residential development affects our roads, our drainage, our infrastructure, emergency services, schools, traffic and housing market. We need to understand the collective impact.” Meanwhile, proponents called it a win-win for Slidell and local residents, as they would be able to extend city water and sewer utilities to an approximately half-mile area that currently has none. “There’s a development of new jobs at the Textron Center and some other places on Fremaux, and those new employees will need some place to live. And we need to provide that,” Slidell Council member Leslie Denham said in discussing annexation. “I did my homework. Maybe the same homework that Megan did, but I had a different outcome.” Vallee has said that the utility line extensions were “the main driver” to request annexation into the city.

Last year, District Attorney Collin Sims led the Transparency and Resources Accountability Committee to study funding directed to his office and courts and judges on the northshore. He also has begun to look into whether some agencies, such as the St. Tammany Mosquito Abatement District, should see whether its funding should be scaled back to aid other agencies. This comes as voters of the parish gave a thumbs up in June to a tax millage continuance for the Mosquito District. Cooper said the RESET task force — standing for revenue, efficiency, spending, education and transparency — is being created to review the tax structure, the spending, and to identify efficiencies and where consolidation might be possible. Alongside Cooper during his announcement were members of the parish council, including Council Chair Cheryl Tanner, and Interim St. Tammany Parish

Due to budget issues, the process of finalizing the annual contract has taken much longer than usual, as teachers and staff covered by the collective bargaining agreement with the Federation of Teachers continue to work under the previous contract. However, during the public portion of the meeting earlier in the evening, Federation President Brant Osborn said he was encouraged with recent talks and thought “we can probably

wrap things up” at its next meeting with the district on Oct. 20. Alfonso said he also thought the new agreement would be completed in the coming week. “We have had great negotiations; it’s been very cordial, very collaborative, and we’ve come to the same conclusions,” he said. “I think (the stipends) are a win for everyone — for the school system and the employees. It’s a positive message for us all to be able to move forward.”

Estimates, according to the parish council, say the tax would raise about $18 million for the first year and as much as $90 million over the course of its five-year lifespan. “There are certain state-

mandated obligations when it comes to operating the jail and the keeping of the prisoners who are housed there pending trial,” Ibert said. “This year with the budget the way it stands, there are zero dollars.” At a recent public hearing before the St. Tammany Parish Council, Sims said his office received $6.2 million in parish funding, which dropped to $4.38 million for the 2026 fiscal year, and the proposal is to drop to $2.51 million for 2027. “I will have to either fire $2.2 million in salaries and benefits based upon current projected cash flows and current expenses,” Sims said. “Or I can elect to pay all of our lawyers no more than $77,000 per year, on average, and all of the rest of the 90-something other employees $10,638.29 per year. And that’s with me currently holding 16 vacancies.” Cooper said the task force will give similar public access to the Task Force meetings as is given to the parish council, with published agendas and all gatherings livestreamed on the council’s YouTube page.

The Tiny Homes Village NAMI Southeast Louisiana plans to break ground in Lacombe Oct. 22 on its new “Tiny Homes Village,” a small group of one- and two-bedroom homes designed to provide permanent, supportive, stable housing for an estimated 15 individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness — individuals facing many of the same difficulties living on their own as Thomas Dudoussat faced for years. Village residents will receive the needed care, support and “wrap around services” required — all delivered or overseen by NAMI staff working from an on-site administrative center — to be located in a slightly larger new house that will be built on the same fiveplus acres of land at 28534 Erwin Road. Local landowner Susan Johannsen donated the property for the project, and St. Tammany Parish Government allocated $500,000 worth of American Rescue Plan Act grant dollars to spearhead funding for it, although NAMI continues to fundraise for the rest of the money needed to build and develop Tiny Homes Village. Two businesses are also intimately involved in the project. DSLD Builders is doing the construction at a reduced cost, and MSH Architects has donated their time to the project. NAMI is already accepting applications from those who want to live there, and some of the village’s 10 or so homes will go to military veterans. “We are holding a section open for veterans, as well,” said Nick Richard, executive director of NAMI SELA. “We are working with the courts and the Veterans Administration. We recognize that (St. Tammany) also has a good portion of our veterans with mental health conditions that are

With the stipends, a firstyear teacher would now collect anywhere from $54,033 to $58,977, depending on the level of college education completed completed. Along with the stipends, the board had already approved added bereavement leave and an extra day of personal leave for all personnel. The contract was set to cover a period beginning in July and running through the end of the school year.

not always receiving the services they need.” This project will help, Richard said.

The village homes Though NAMI SELA talks about “tiny homes” in their marketing, the larger homes for residents will be around 1,000 square feet and feature an open floor plan, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with siding exterior, recessed lighting, a carport and small front porch. Two residents will live in each of those. On the same lot, a smaller, a one-bedroom efficiency unit will be built for a single resident. A main house built on the property will be used by NAMI staff for administrative functions and

meetings with village residents; as a gathering space for meals and social events; and as a central location for transportation needs, which includes getting village residents to and from jobs, job interviews, medical appointments, training sessions and the like. This admin house will provide a continuing base of support and services for the village residents living around it. NAMI SELA said exteriors of the homes will vary in some respects in an effort to look and feel like any other small pocket neighborhood in the parish. St. Tammany Parish Councilman Joe Impastato, whose District 7 council territory includes the planned village, also lives near the Erwin site. He wrote in a September Facebook post that he has done some research into the project, talked with a number of constituents who questioned him about it and met with Richard and other NAMI staffers to discuss the plan and get his questions answered. He stressed in his post that the village is not a government project and that it complies with all St. Tammany zoning laws. In fact, the property was already properly zoned, and no rezoning was needed to develop the NAMI project. “It did require a minor resubdivision. The Planning Commission approved the minor resub-

Richard and his team have met with Impastato, as well as with residents in the area to clarify the project and its purpose. “We’re not just putting up houses, and we’re also not warehousing people or doing some kind of institutionalized setting,” Richard said. “We’re giving people the space they need to be as independent as they can and the dignity that they deserve. It’s fantastic.” Impastato did not return recent messages to the newspaper but said in last month’s post that NAMI has complied with all regulations and is committed to working with the parish on what he called a “project that has many positives and will help people who need assistance.” “The good news is that NAMI is a respected organization, and I will be in regular contact with them and hold them to the commitments they have made.” NAMI SELA works in nine regional parishes, advocating in each of them for better lives for individuals with a mental illness. It offers multiple free services year-round, as well as providing online services that can be accessed at will. Their programs are designed for those with an illness, as well as for their families and all those who work to care for them. Additionally, in 2024, NAMI SELA offered a mix of housing services that provided 91,500 nights of safe shelter to 294 individuals. All NAMI services are geared toward helping people with mental illness get the stability, professional care and skills needed — from medical care and home management to personal budgeting and work opportunities — to achieve greater independence and, wherever possible, to work and live safely and independently in their communities.

Few step up to oversee the Lakeshore Villages district

BY DAN LAWTON

Contributing writer

As Election Day approaches, candidates across St. Tammany Parish are battling for offices ranging from sheriff to town council. But one exception is the board of the Lakeshore Villages Community Development District, which collects about $4 million a year in assessments and oversees a neighborhood of thousands of homes. No one ran for two of its seats, and the other three will be filled by unopposed candidates, meaning homeowners won’t cast a single vote. The lack of interest doesn’t mean the neighbor-

hood is without issues. The development, located just outside Slidell city limits on the fringe of Lake Pontchartrain, has had squabbles over off-street parking and a controversy over some homes with mold. “There are constantly and consistently people who are complaining about this and that,” said Charlyn Flanagan, who is on the board. “I was really disappointed I was running unopposed,” she added. Flanagan moved into the neighborhood in 2022. A pharmacy technician, she said she and her husband, a military veteran, were drawn to the community for the storm protection its

private levee provides. The Community Development District, a special taxing district created by the parish in 2007, oversees the levee and other issues, such as parking, drainage, roads, lights and trash. Flanagan says the district currently has 2,600 homes. Its manager, Pete Williams, is a Florida-based consultant who manages community development districts across the Gulf South, according to his website. He did not respond to requests for comment. Flanagan said she was appointed to the board in 2024 after submitting a resume for a seat that had been open for a year and a half.

She said she was the only one to apply. “I chose to step forward because I wanted to contribute to the community where I live,” she said. Flanagan said that the board would seek applicants for the other two positions and encouraged residents to apply. She said that the board’s quorum is three, so it could still operate without additional members. Anthony Caruso, the board’s other returning incumbent, did not respond to a request for comment. Lawrence Dupré, who served on the board starting in 2022, moved to Lakeshore Villages in 2017 after

spending 40 years in California. A New Orleans native, he said he joined the board to help preserve the neighborhood’s character. He ran unopposed in 2022 and said that only one seat was contested that year. Dupré said he decided not to run again because he was tired of hearing the same gripes from a small, disproportionately vocal part of the community. The pay, which was only recently raised from $75 to $250, was also a factor. “It’s not enough for the headaches,” Dupré said. Robert Fecanin will begin his first term on the board in January. And Like Flanagan, Fecanin said he’s

disappointed that he didn’t have an opponent. He said he feels a contested election would spark more community dialogue about the issues facing the neighborhood, and there are problems. Fecanin said he’s faced problems with his own home, as it was constructed, as have some of his neighbors. Fecanin, who supervised weapons systems while in the military, said he hopes he can help move the board forward. “Honestly, I have plenty of other things going on in my life, but I feel strongly that if I want change, I need to be the one to do it myself,” Fecanin said.

Folsom returns all its incumbents, no harsh rhetoric here BY KIM CHATELAIN

Contributing writer

Hotly contested elections seem to be the norm these days, but not in the tiny village of Folsom. While candidates in other political jurisdictions are fighting for votes on the campaign trail leading up to the Nov. 3 election, office seekers in Folsom have already won their seats for the upcoming term. All four of the town’s incumbent elected officials were automatically reelected when no one qualified to oppose them. That means incumbent Mayor Lance Willie and the three members who currently make up the town government’s legislative branch — Alderman George Garrett, Alderman Shawn Dillon and Alderwoman Deanna Mingo — will serve four more years without having to mount campaigns. The perceived détente that exists in the village goes back beyond the current election cycle. Two of the three current alderman were unopposed in the 2022 election as well.

Willie said Folsom’s ability to maintain its political decorum at the hyper-local level is due in part to the open lines of communication that exist between the officials and their constituents in the close-knit, twosquare-mile village of about 900 residents. “As far as running unopposed, I think it speaks to the trust that the community has built over the years,” Willie said. Politically speaking, Folsom appears to be living up to its billing as a “quaint and cozy” community. Missing from the local political landscape in Folsom are the candidate-targeted barbs and harsh campaign rhetoric that echo in other communities on the north shore. “Folsom is family; that’s not just a slogan, it’s how we live,” said Willie, whose position as mayor is considered part-time. Margra Steele, who has served as Folsom’s municipal clerk since 2019, said what stands out to her as a government employee is the cordial nature of those involved in village business. “Everyone treats every-

“I love being mayor be- Willie said, “and I want to the place that shaped who one else like family,” she said. “From what I have cause this town raised me,” continue to give back to I am.” seen, Folsom is something special.” Getting reelected without opposition is nothing new for Folsom’s elected officials. Garrett, Dillon and Jill Mathies were elected without opposition in 2022. Mathies died in December 2024, and Mingo was appointed to fill her unexpired term and will serve four more years by virtue of being unopposed this cycle. Garrett, who was born and raised in Folsom, agreed with Steele’s assessment of the village’s character. “Folsom is home; Folsom is family,” he said. Dillon said the local government leaders at times disagree on issues but are usually able to resolve their differences amicably. “I’m very thankful and appreciative for the way we’re able to get along,” he said. Willie, whose father served as Folsom’s mayor from 1986 to 1992, said he understands the village’s character and cherishes the chance to be a part of its small government.

Two sheriff Purple4Polio campaign candidates lead aims to help finish off polio fundraising race BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer

BY JIM DERRY Staff writer

Two candidates in the race for St. Tammany Parish Sheriff are outrunning their competitors in fundraising with a month to go before the election, according to the first set of recently released campaign financial reports. H H H Robert Hodges and Daniel Seuzeneau combined for 88.2% of all money raised in the race as of Oct. 3. Hodges’ campaign had collected $585,113, as compared to Seuzeneau’s $435,055. The reporting periods were from the official starts of their campaigns — for Seuzeneau on July 27 and Hodges on Aug. 3 — through Oct. 3. Meanwhile, challengers Scott Illing had raised a total of $109,090 and David Maki was at $27,150. This race is shaping up to be the most closely watched on the northshore. It will fill the unexpired term of former sheriff Randy Smith, who resigned and pleaded guilty to second-degree battery in May. The term runs through June 30, 2028, and is currently being held by Interim Sheriff Bret Ibert. Greg Buisson, a local political consultant who ran Smith’s campaign for election in 2019, said the numbers for Hodges and Seuzeneau are significant at this early stage. “We did not really spend that kind of money until we actually hit the runoff (against former Covington police chief Tim Lentz),” Buisson said. “So for them to have that kind of money in the primary, it’s pretty significant.” Neither of the top two campaigns has spent more than 30% of its war chest to date. Seuzeneau’s largest expense thus far has been $44,000 to Velocity Agency LLC of Mandeville, a social media management company. Meanwhile, Hodges paid $39,110 to polling company Baselice and Associates and $20,000 to KLH Consulting of Metairie. Illing has dished out more than $28,000 of his funds to campaign consultants Karen Carvin and Eric McVicker. “The money I have raised is coming from friends — $100

here, $500 or so. Meanwhile, (Hodges and Seuzeneau) are getting $10,000, $12,000 at a time,” said Illing, who said that made him less beholden to special interests. “They are going to have lots of obligations to these highrollers, and I don’t want that.” Maki said “it’s just ridiculous” the amount of money raised thus far. His H H H largest expense has been $10,000 to the political consultant firm of James Hartman and Associates. He has collected 2.3% of all the money raised by the four campaigns — and that’s not counting PAC money, of which Maki has none. “The local humane society has been trying to raise money for years to build a new building,” he said. “Meanwhile, look at the money these guys have come up with in three months for a sheriff’s race. I have a problem with that.” Hodges says he is grateful for the support, and that the money his campaign has received is a testament to his long career. “Over three decades in law enforcement, I’ve been blessed to build strong relationships, and I’m grateful to everyone who believes in our campaign to bring integrity and professionalism to the Sheriff’s Office,” he said. “This level of support, and our lead in fundraising, shows how much people want a sheriff focused on law and order, not politics.” While Hodges leads the race in money gained, many other factors could be in play, Buisson said. The big advantage for Seuzeneau is his name recognition in the parish, especially on the east side, where he worked for the Slidell Police Department for two decades and was the unit’s interim chief for seven months when Randy Fandal became mayor last October. Both Hodges and Illing are known on the west side of the parish. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the runoff would be held Dec. 12.

Slidell will go so purple on Oct. 23 that anyone carefully watching might even see the water in a prominent public fountain will change colors for a very good cause. The Rotary Club of Slidell, as well as other District 6840 chapters, are painting things purple in their campaign raising awareness and funds to help eradicate polio worldwide, according to Pam Breaux, Rotary Club of Slidell president and the District Purple4Polio Campaign chair. “A major push was started by the World Health Organization and other groups in 1988 to rid the world of polio. However, it still remains endemic in two countries. Until vaccinations are available there, we still have to be vigilant in the fight,” Breaux said. The Purple4Polio campaign is encouraging individuals and groups to be aware of the importance of vaccination programs, and it’s raising funds to help Rotary support vaccination programs worldwide, Breaux said. “In remote locations, when a child receives their vaccine, their pinkie finger is dipped in purple dye to help keep track of which children have been vaccinated. Thanks to efforts over the past 40 years, the occurrence of wild polio infection is down more than 99% around the world,” she explained. Slidell events will be held on Oct. 23 in Olde Towne, although World Polio Day is Oct. 24. At 2 p.m., the

Second-line umbrellas are welcome, and don’t forget to wear your best purple outfit!” Breaux said. The Rotary Club of Slidell has raised more than $1,000 for vaccination programs this fall and will be selling purple necklaces, trinkets and taking donations at the celebration. Donations can also be

made to the organization by making out a check to Rotary Club of Slidell, P.O. Box 888, Slidell, LA 70459 or by contacting Breaux at plbreaux@gmail.com. Donations will be matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation. The club is also working with Keep Slidell Beautiful to transform Pearl’s Garden in John Slidell Park into a heart-shaped space filled with purple blooms. The garden is dedicated to the late Slidell City Council member Pearl Williams. Breaux said the idea of using purple garden flowers to keep attention on the polio fight began with Rotary Clubs in Ireland, whose members planted purple crocus gardens.

Voters near Slidell to decide $253 fee for drainage and levees BY WILLIE SWETT Staff writer

Voters in four neighborhoods east of Slidell will decide on Nov. 3 whether to renew a $253 parcel fee that pays for pumps H H H H H H and levees that help keep the neighborhoods dry. Drainage District No. 4 has been funded by a parcel fee since it was first established in 1978, and serves New Kings Point, Pinehurst, Spring Hill and Fox Hollow subdivisions, said district President Tim Asher. “It keeps the streets clear and prevents the homes from flooding,” he said. The district maintains the system of retention ponds and pumps that clear those neighborhood’s streets when heavy rains come down, Asher said. It

also pays for grass cutting and other efforts to prevent erosion on the 5.5-mile levee system that surround the neighborhoods, he said. In 2025 and 2026, the drainage district used the money to clear out its two retention ponds and outflow canal, increasing the pond’s water capacity by “twofold,” Asher said. A toilet and a trampoline were among the items that were removed from the ponds, along with lots of vegetation, a drainage district flyer says. The parcel fee will pay to keep clearing the ponds, Asher said. If the five-year renewal is approved, it would generate $300,017 in total, according to the ballot language. Landowners would pay $253 per 10,000 square feet of parcel they own. Asher said that if voters don’t approve the parcel fee this year, the district will put it on the ballot again in 2027. The existing fee expires at the end of 2027.

Boys & Girls Club gets game room makeover BY JOLIE LINDLEY Contributing writer

A $60,000 investment in the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Louisiana’s Slidell Clubhouse has just given its young members a reimagined gaming space that includes mostly all new everything, including plenty of new gaming consoles, that make this space the place to be. The makeover includes a bigger than life mural of WWE superstars — designed by WWE artists — new flooring, fresh paint, updated furniture and many of the gaming bells and whistles that club members most wanted, including PlayStation 5 and the NextGen gaming system. The new space, officially unveiled Oct. 8, also includes a pingpong table for some good, old fashioned play, as well as an air hockey table and even some traditional arcade-type games that peaked in the early 1980s and have since made a resurgence. It was thanks to a financial investment by the WWE, with additional support from Cricket Wireless, that the makeover and equipping of the game room at the 705 Dewey Ave. club came about. “This renovation will do much more than be a game room. Donors have invested in our kids, their happiness, their confidence and their futures,” said Angel Nelson, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Metro Louisiana. She said giving children a place to grow and dream provides a vital service to the community. “We don’t just transform spaces; we transform lives. We give children a place to believe that anything is possible. We’re opening the door to new possibilities and brighter futures for the young people who need us.” Club members were given input into the design of the

Everything old becomes new again, and these arcade-type games have certainly grabbed the attention of these younger players in the reimagined and well-equipped game room.

renovated space so that it could be tailored to what they wanted. “We had three teens who actually assisted in the design,” Nelson said, noting that the results gives club members new opportunities to connect, play and build relationships in a space created specifically for them.” Nelson said she finds the investment in Slidell’s club

deeply personal. “I was once a single parent raising three children who grew up in Boys & Girls Clubs. I know firsthand that these clubs are so much more than buildings or places for kids to go after school. They are places where children feel safe, where dreams are nurtured, and where families find hope and support,” she said.

Powerhouse New Orleans piano man Tom Worrell, known in fan circles as the “Magic Gringo,” will take the Dew Drop Jazz Hall stage in Old Mandeville on Oct. 24 and do what a musical showman does. In Worrell’s case, he’s a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, vocalist and, as WWOZ puts it, “a pianist of the first degree.” Watch and listen to Worrell perform, and you’d never know that he isn’t as original to New Orleans as a 7th Ward native. Instead, it was the music of New Orleans that pulled Worrell into it from somewhere else, and he seems to have given himself over to it — heart, bones, fingers and all. Worrell says his music is “deeply rooted” in the classic traditions of four of the Crescent City’s greatest — Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr. John and Allen Toussaint — so expect their spirits in the old shotgunstyle jazz hall when Worrell and an impressive trio of seasoned New Orleans musicians perform. Backing Worrell will be drummer Eddie Christmas, who plays with Jon Cleary, the supergroup New Orleans Suspects and others; bassist Eric Vogel, also a New Orleans Suspects member now doing lots of session work in Nashville; and guitarist John Fohl, who among his many gigs, played a decade or so with Dr. John and the Lower 911. The Mandeville show

DEW DROP JAZZ HALL SHOW WHO: Tom Worrell, with Eddie Christmas, Eric Vogel and John Fohl WHEN: Oct. 24, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m; doors open 5:30 p.m. WHERE: 430 Lamarque St., Mandeville HOW MUCH: Cost is $15/ adult (cash preferred) to enter the grounds; kids and students free. No advance tickets sold. WHAT ELSE: Beer, wine, sodas and water (cash only) at the bar. Hot plate dinners of fried chicken, fried fish and all the fixins’ sold next door by the women of The First Free Mission Baptist Church (cash preferred). SEATING: Inside is first come/ first serve for about 100, but most people sit outside, so bring a lawn chair. No smoking, ice chests, outside food/drinks or pets are allowed. PARKING: In the lot across the street or on neighborhood streets — but don’t block driveways.

will mix New Orleans’ piano classics and some of Worrell’s original music, including his “Magic Gringo” theme song; a soulful “Booker’s Blues” and a lively tribute to one of Worrell’s spiritual musical mentors, “Gimme Sum Mo’ Fess.” Whatever he plays, expect

to feel the Crescent City. It’s hard for those raised with New Orleans music to conceive, but Worrell never heard it until 1987 when a musician gave him a cassette tape with some numbers by the Rev. Cleveland & the Mighty Clouds of Joy, James Booker and Professor Longhair. At the time, Worrell was playing in a rock ‘n’ roll band and had toured some internationally with Solomon Burke, a bona fide pioneer of American soul music. But everything was about to change for Worrell, who was raking leaves in front of a studio when he popped the cassette tape into his Walkman and first heard the sounds of New Orleans. “I didn’t know! I had never heard of them,” he says, still sounding amazed that he ever had a Before N.O. Music life. “And then I heard them, and I was never the same. It blew all my circuits. All my contrived ideas of music, of what was possible, changed.” One thing led to another and, as if meant to be, Johnny Sansone hired Worrell to come on down to New Orleans and play a gig. And he’s still here. He’s also still touring and still loving the city, especially the haunts his fans have come to expect — organizing multiple Booker shows at the Maple Leaf Bar, playing at Tipitina’s to celebrate Fess birthdays, and organizing/playing in WWOZ events. Now he’ll be in Mandeville making music from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Does it get better than this? Morgan Nabors, plays among so many Great Pumpkins in the Pumpkin Patch at First United Methodist Church in Slidell. Sure enough, whether celebrating the arrival of fall, the hijinks of Halloween or the family, friends, food and gratitude of Thanksgiving, the Cucurbita pepo — or pumpkin — has pride of place. Sit it on the porch, paint a face on it, carve it up, or make it the centerpiece of a table or mantle reflecting your season of choice. Oh, and don’t forget to eat a few. Botanically, it’s a nutritious fruit, specifically classified as a “pepo” or type of berry with a thick outer rind. But culinarily, it’s generally considered a vegetable because it’s most often roasted, added to soups and stews or used in other savory dishes. So what then do you call it when pumpkin goes into a pastry with sugar and spices? You call it a Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, and dig in.

Haunted house, concert-fest set at Coquille Park

BY JESSICA SAGGIO Contributing writer

For Covington’s Jeff Borne, dreams do come true. Just sometimes they are the nightmares he creates. The executive producer behind New Orleans’ popular Mortuary Haunted Mansion at the dead end of Canal Street, Borne is known to be a master at his craft. For decades, he has created immersive Halloween experiences, curated with meticulous attention to detail, artistic costuming and crews of talented individuals who bring the vision to life. The Mortuary, known for its thrills hidden behind each turn, has been a chilling seasonal tradition in the city for 20 years. And now the northshore is getting a big taste of that same experience, as Borne and his crew not only bring a new locally themed haunted house to St. Tammany, but a weekend Halloween festival and concert series to go with it, all in partnership with Covington Recreation District 14. The Sawmill Haunted House has already taken over the River Mill Center inside Covington’s Coquille Park and is open weekends and some weeknights through Nov. 1. Tickets begin at $25. The inaugural “Spirits in the Park” concert series and festival will take place adjacent to the haunted house on the Great Lawn of Coquille Park Oct. 30 through Nov. 1. The free event will feature live performances from The Class of ’98 Band and the Kings of Neon Glow Band on Oct. 30; Beaucoup Boogie, The Boogiemen and The Bucktown Allstars on Oct. 31; and Yacht Rock Park and Paper Champ on Nov. 1. The festival will also feature a children’s area, with trick or treating, pumpkin painting, robotics and inflatables, food and beverage vendors, and an arts and craft market. During the weekend festival, The Sawmill will also offer a “lights on” family tour for those who want a tamer version of the experience. “We’ve had concerts in the park before, but this is going to be a whole new level, and we’re hoping the community supports this free opportunity to come together and celebrate what is one of the top five holidays throughout the entire world,” said Richard BentleySmith, executive director of Recreation District 14 and Coquille Park.

Whispers in the Covington night worth hearing

BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer There’s something special about ghost stories, especially if they have local spirits behind them. Whisperings, Covington Heritage Foundation’s annual living history experience, will put just such a homegrown twist on its extra special cemetery tour on Oct. 25. “There’s nothing like having a ‘ghost’ greet you next to their tomb to get the inside scoop on local history,” said Whisperings Producer John Carambat. Each year, four or five individuals selected from Covington’s past, and interned in the local cemetery, are selected to have their lives highlighted during the program, according to Carambat. “We do research on their biographies and look at how their lives were a part of Covington’s community. There’s also a great book at the library called ‘Heroes of Cemetery #1’ that gives us great background,” he said. Once the biographies are compiled, actors are selected to play the individuals, and scripts are written. During the Whisperings tour, the actors play their part in period clothing next to the person’s actual tomb or gravestone, with the help of director Jehna Harageones.

“Depending on what they did in life, props are used to tell their story. We’ve had actors with farm implements and other items, depending on their profession. We once had an antique desk set up and the subject gave their talk sitting behind it. It’s a little macabre, but it’s also fun,” the producer said. During a previous year’s event, an actress portrayed Yvonne Haik, a member of the Haik Department Store family. Next to the tomb was a rack of vintage clothing and a table covered with store memorabilia. The actress gave an account of Yvonne’s history in the first person. “This experience is a great way to help remember people important to Covington’s history. Some of the people featured no longer have family in the area,” Carambat said. As guests walk through the cemetery at twilight, they will hear true stories about the people who had a part in Covington’s history, as well as enjoy seeing the costumed performers, said Sarada Bonnett, the city of Covington’s director of cultural arts and events. “It’s a really a great event and something unique to Covington,” she said. Whisperings is a ticketed event. Tickets are free to Covington Heritage Foundation members and $20 for nonmembers. They can be purchased online at https://www.covingtonheritagefoundation.com/covingtonheritage-foundation-events/whisperings.

VID. Borne said he had declined all requests from other towns to bring a haunted house and festival to them, but he said the partnership with Coquille Park just felt different. It was five minutes down the road from his headquarters, and with the boom in population, he said, “It just made sense.” It was then that the dream to

bring a “major production” to the northshore began. However, it would take two years to make the haunted house a reality, and several months to put together the festival. Now, midway through October, the haunted house is in full swing and already off to a positive start. Borne and his crew have used local lore to theme the attraction. It is set at “Widows Landing” (from lore in the Madisonville area) and features characters such as the Silk Lady of Madisonville and the Vampires of Lacombe. The Sawmill at Coquille Park is very different than The Mortuary, he said, and even better in many ways. With 30-feet-tall ceilings, there was much more room for sets and allowed for a lighthouse that is the centerpiece of the spooky sawmill. Guests also have the opportunity to get a free VIP ticket if they donate blood. Give at any Blood Center donation site and receive a free ticket that can be presented when visiting The Sawmill and have it upgraded to VIP free of charge. As for the festival, BentleySmith sees it as a chance to truly bring together the community. “We’ve gotten to the point where most of us put up fences so we don’t have to talk to our neighbors,” he said. “Events like this take down those fences for us to understand we have more in common with our neighbors than we have not in common.”

Farmer SPORTS The St.Tammany

S T TA M M A N Y FA R M E R.N E T

Farmer Football 5

Ugly wins are always a thing of beauty It seems like I’ve had this conversation more in the last few weeks with coaches than I have in the past. “It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win, so it’s a lot easier to fix our mistakes after a win.” Now that it is Week 8 of the regular season, those words ring especially true. Teams are banged up. The grind is in full force, especially after a slew of Thursday games over the past few weeks. But a win is a win, as Salmen coach Eric Chuter says after nearly every close Spartans’ victory. And ugly wins are the calling Joseph cards of good teams. Hear me out. Northshore is 7-0 for the first Halm time in school history. That doesn’t happen without a 7-3 grind over St. Paul’s two weeks ago and a 24-13 battle at Hammond this past Friday. The Northshore of two years ago probably doesn’t win those games. But they found a way this year. That’s progress. Is there plenty of work to be done? Yes, but taking a moment to enjoy every win is important. Salmen is 3-1 in one-score games over the past month. That’s why the Spartans control their destiny in the District 7-4A race with two games to play. Ugly counts the same as pretty in the record book. Even Hannan is getting in on the action as the Hawks went on the road, didn’t play particularly well and still won comfortably for their sixth win of the season. The last time they won six or more regular-season games was in 2018. Winning is hard. Then you have a Mandeville team that has a real opportunity to have its first undefeated regular season since 2000. Yes, they have to get through St. Paul’s and Northshore first, but they sit at 7-0 with their entire future in front of them. It took a last-minute TD against Slidell to get their fifth win and then a workmanlike performance against parish rival Covington. After that game, coach Craig Jones said this. “I felt like we left a touchdown out there when we could have been up 17 nothing,” Jones said. “And then I thought we took control in the third quarter, and then the fourth quarter got sloppy. But, look, if you’re upset with a 24 to 9 win, things are good.” Mandeville responded with a 37-point victory over Ponchatoula this past Friday, where QB Krew Collura tossed 5 TDs. Survive one week and thrive in the next. That’s all a high school football season is — finding ways to win. The teams at the top of the Farmer 5 rankings have figured out how to do that. Now, it’s time to take their play to the next level as the postseason nears. The full parish schedule is below, but first, our weekly Farmer Football 5 rankings.

FARMER FOOTBALL 5 1 | Mandeville | 7-0, 4-0 (Last week: 1) This week: vs. St. Paul’s Mandeville starts its final regular-season gauntlet with a rivalry game against St. Paul’s on Friday. The Skippers went on the road and handled their business against Ponchatoula last week. Now, they have to get over the St. Paul’s hump. The Wolves have won the last five games over Mandeville. The Skippers’ last win came by a 3828 scoreline in 2020. This game is always close, but the Skippers would love to snap that trend with a potential Week 9 Game of the Century against Northshore looming. 2 | Northshore | 7-0, 4-0 (Last week: 2) This week: at Fontainebleau

Big plays can change games, especially in district rivalries. Just ask the Salmen Spartans. Salmen scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, then came up with two more game-defining plays before running out the clock to cap off a 20-17 come-from-behind District 7-4A victory over Lakeshore at home on Oct. 16. The Spartans trailed 17-6 through three quarters, and the Salmen of-

fense would have to battle a strong wind in the fourth quarter. Salmen’s offense overcame that adversity as Da’John Howard’s 10yard TD run and 2-point conversion scamper cut the lead to 17-14 with 10:22 to go. Then, the Spartan defense forced a turnover on downs at their 37-yard line with 7:47 left. A holding penalty and a run for negative yardage moved the ball back to the 25, but on second-and-22, the Spartans’ offense got a first down and a lot more.

team its first lead, 20-17, with 6:44 left. “I was reading my keys, watching linebackers, gave Kordé (Harris) an easy ball and he just took it from there,” Howard said. Harris said Salmen coach Eric Chuter gave him an extra jolt of confidence before the play. “On that pass, coach was telling me, ‘Man, you’ve got this. We’re going to give you the ball,’ and I showcased dominance, and I scored, got my team in the lead,” Harris said.

Fiery speech helps spark Mandeville comeback against Slidell BY MIKE PERVEL Contributing writer

Mandeville found itself on the ropes against District 7-I rival Slidell. The Skippers were down 2-0 on the road before a lengthy intermission between the second and third sets, during which the home cheerleaders performed for a large crowd. Mandeville coach Danny Tullis used the five-minute break to take his team into the gym lobby and try to fire them up after a lackluster first two sets. “We didn’t play well at all in the first two sets. We just didn’t react to what they were doing. After the intermission, we changed our lineup for the third set. We decided to show up and flipped things, playing with aggressive energy. The girls responded with toughness

and grit, getting us back into the match,” Tullis said. “It appeared Slidell may have taken their foot off the gas a bit after taking the first two sets. We came out more focused and a few of our players got hot, making key contributions at critical times to gain some momentum.” His players took his message to heart as the visitors rallied for a 12-25, 25-27, 25-13, 25-20, 15-8 win in an emotionally charged district contest on Oct. 13. In the fifth set, Mandeville (24-3, 2-0) raced out to a quick 6-0 lead behind six consecutive service points by junior Julia Marengo (33 STAFF PHOTO BY JOSEPH HALM assists).

Northshore’s top receiver gave up football after his freshman season.

BY JOSEPH HALM

It didn’t last long

Staff writer

It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated sophomore AJ Bright’s impact on Northshore’s football team. St. Paul’s had just taken the lead on Oct. 9 at Panther Stadium, and the home team needed a response in a battle of 2-0 teams in District 6-5A. Bright went into motion behind senior QB JJ Gonzales as the ball was snapped. Gonzales threw a perfect pass that led Bright to the hash marks as he made the first Wolves’ defender miss. That was the opening he needed as he split a pair of defenders farther downfield en route to a 48-yard TD catch. “I really like getting in space and making defenders miss,” Bright said. “I felt from the beginning that we had the tools to be really good. JJ (Gonzales) is a great quarterback, and we have a good o-line, so we had the tools to be really good. It’s worked out pretty well so far.” It’s worked out even better than Bright is letting on. The 5-foot-9, 150-pound speedster is leading St. Tammany Parish in receiving by a wide margin. Through six games, he has 704 yards and eight TDs on 34 catches. “He’s brought a lot of confidence back to our offense,” Gonzales said. “He worked out with us all summer, so those reps were important. We built that connection this summer, and now, we’re just worried about getting better each game.” Northshore coach Bobby Sanders said Bright, the nephew of Slidell basketball legend Torris Bright, allows the Panthers to stretch the field vertically and horizontally. “He picks up things really quickly, and he really understands the position,” Sanders said. “You’d expect him to come in a little raw, but he’s been pretty polished. He reminds me a lot of T.J.

You tell him the concept, and he knows where he needs to be on the field regardless of his position.” And the crazy thing is, Bright’s breakout season almost didn’t happen. He quit football after his freshman season to focus on basketball. “AJ is somebody that we had really high hopes for, but he’s exceeded expectations,” Sanders said. “Last year, we were forced to put him at quarterback, and he had to play a lot of freshman and JV games. He was just a different speed, so we knew he would be on

the field as a sophomore. I don’t think he enjoyed the quarterback position that much, so once basketball season came around, he decided to focus on that.” But Sanders didn’t give up. The coach would constantly joke with Bright, saying, “Man, I remember a good-looking football player who looked just like you” when the two saw each other on campus. Then, after the basketball season, Sanders met with Bright and his parents. “It was a big conversation,” Bright said. “My dad didn’t want me to play because he didn’t want

me to get hurt, but Coach Sanders ended up talking to my parents. It was a good conversation. Overall, I thought I should play, so I came out.” Sanders’ sales pitch worked as Bright rejoined the team, and the rest is Northshore history as the Panthers are undefeated. “I said that I understood that basketball is his first love, so football is not going to interfere with that,” Sanders said about that fateful meeting. “If he needed to go to an AAU tournament over the summer, then he could go. The big thing over the summer is to make sure players are not sit-

The winning play was something the Spartans worked on all week at practice. “We said, ‘that’s going to be a touchdown play,’ ” Harris said. “We ran it, touchdown.” Lakeshore (3-4, 0-1) drove to the Salmen 18 on its ensuing drive, but on thirdand-10, the Spartans needed another big play, and senior DB Kevin Smiles delivered. The Titans threw a pass into the end zone that Smiles picked off for a touchback with 3:05 to go. “It was so much emotion building up all at once,” Smiles said. “I worked so hard just for this moment, and I made the play and did what was best for the team.” Salmen (4-3, 2-0) picked up a first down and ran out the clock on the three-point victory. “The atmosphere tonight was electric,” Chuter said. “I thought our crowd was phenomenal; I thought it was just a great high school football game, and then both teams had to deal with the elements. “This cold front that’s coming in is the real deal. We’ve got 30-mile-per-hour gusts. Obviously, it affected the game. It affected the kicking game.” Lakeshore’s touchdowns also came on big plays. The first occurred when Brody Loudermilk connected with a wide-open Eli Galiano for a 75-yard TD pass and a 7-0 lead just over four minutes into the game. Salmen answered on the next drive with Harris’ 4-yard TD run, but a high snap on the extra point led to a two-point pass that Gareth Hernandez intercepted. Lakeshore struck again late in the second quarter on a 40-yard pass from Loudermilk to Hernandez, who made a one-handed catch and then dragged a defender into the end zone. Titans’ kicker Jackson Schemmel added a 31-yard

we were not going to lose this game. I came in and played my heart out.” Jones said the Tigers’ success this season can be attributed to the team’s offseason commitment. “We worked hard in the summer,” he said. “As our coach told us, we took the bull by the horns, and we’re letting it ride.” Slidell coach Damon Page said Jones told him early in the game what they needed to do to beat their rivals. “We started off slow, but I asked him where the holes were, and he said they were inside,” Page said. “So we trusted him, and he turned out the extra yards – those yards after contact. He’s relentless with the ball, and he is always looking to score and get those tough yards. “I told our guys coming into this week, it was going to be a dogfight. We knew it was going to be this kind of game, and I’m just glad we came out on the winning end of it.” Things didn’t start well for Slidell as Covington took the opening kickoff and drove 65 yards in 13 plays, capping the drive with a 1-yard QB sneak by Matthew O’Keefe to lead 7-0 with 5:50 left in the first quarter. Neither team could get much going the rest of the half as five straight posses-

field goal to set Lakeshore’s 17-6 halftime advantage. “(Salmen) did a good job of exposing us in some spots,” Lakeshore coach Hunter Bonvillain said. “We should’ve had a guy account for some of those things, and we just didn’t get there. They figured it out, and we didn’t tonight.” Both teams are back in action at home on Oct. 24. Salmen faces Jewel Sumner in nondistrict action, while Lakeshore hosts Franklinton.

ting at home eating potato chips and things like that. Yes, we put in some stuff, but I want our kids to do all that they can do, whether it is play another sport or join a club; we want them to enjoy their high school experience.” Bright is one of six basketball players on the football team, including sophomore lineman Braylon Kinsey, junior DB Dai’Trin Franklin and senior DBs Braedin Hopkins, Brendell Vedol and Ian Wallace. Northshore basketball coach Joshua Carlin said it was an easy choice to let his key players compete on the gridiron. “For me, it’s all about what does the kid want to do,” Carlin said. “If they are interested in playing football, then I’m all for it. The success of the program and what it has done for our school and the community has been pretty significant, and it will continue to grow with continued success. “At a school like Northshore, for our athletic programs to be successful, we need multi-sport athletes. We need the basketball guys to play football. We need some football guys to play basketball, and baseball needs to contribute to football as well. When each team has the best athletes on the field, it gives us the best chance for success.” Bright and the rest of the basketball players are “embracing the grind.” His days start with basketball skills practice at 6 a.m., then move to weight lifting for the first block of the school day. Then come classes, followed by football practice. Some days he’ll go back to the gym to get some shots up or do some other training. “He’s a special kid, and we’re able to do a lot of things with him,” Sanders said. “But most importantly, he’s a good teammate, and he’s a big reason for our success on offense.” Contact Joseph Halm at jhalm@ sttammanyfarmer.net.

sions ended in punts. But Slidell picked off O’Keefe with 1:10 left in the first half to take over at its own 37-yard line. Mixing pass and run on the drive, the Tigers got to the 2-yard line before a penalty pushed them back to the 7. That was no problem for Williams as he hit Dreyk Wilson from 7 yards out for the TD. The point-after kick was no good, and Covington took a 7-6 lead into halftime. Despite the longer-thannormal halftime because of Covington’s homecoming festivities, Slidell stayed hot to start the third quarter, taking the kickoff and driving 68 yards to score on a 24-yard run by Williams to make it 12-7. Covington never got on track in the second half, punting twice, throwing an interception and missing a field goal on its four possessions. Slidell iced the game in the final 4:08 with a 2-yard TD run by Jones. Two plays later, the Tigers’ defense picked off a pass, and the visitors ran out the clock. Page praised his defense for bending but not breaking after Covington’s early score, which allowed the Tigers’ offense to get going. “After that first drive we just told them to settle down, and we were able to clean some things up,” Page said. “They really bowed up and stood in there when we needed them to.” Covington’s only bright spot was running back

Rodney Clark, who finished with 109 yards on 23 carries. Lions coach Greg Salter said turnovers and penalties hurt his team’s chances after the early lead evaporated. “That’s been the story of our season unfortunately,” Salter said. “We just have to come out and work hard and keep up the effort and put a cleaner game forward next week.” Covington (3-4, 1-3) finished with 177 yards on the ground but only 24 passing, with two interceptions to compound the situation. “They have a good football team, and when you make mistakes, they are going to make you pay for it,” Salter said. “We just couldn’t get ahead and finish it off.” SCORE BY QUARTERS SLIDELL | 0 | 6 | 6 | 7 — 19 COVINGTON | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 — 7

Though a close Week 6 loss took the wind out of St. Paul’s sails, the Wolves regained their offensive footing and seemed to be fueled by the gusty winds on Oct. 16 at Hunter Stadium. St. Paul’s scored four passing touchdowns and used three quarterbacks in a 48-6 District 6-5A victory against Fontainebleau. The win atoned for a 7-3 loss against Northshore in the previous week that snapped the Wolves’ 21game district winning streak. “After last week’s game, we struggled throwing in the wind, and then we weren’t expecting it to be (windy) like that tonight. I really, the thing I’m most proud of is the way they prepared all week after a tough loss. They showed up enthusiastic at practice, and I feel like they earned it throughout the week,” St. Paul’s coach Joshua Gast said. In particular, the offense came alive after failing to score a touchdown last week. St. Paul’s (4-3, 3-1) exploded for seven touchdowns, including the season’s first two for Wolves tight end Waylon Johnson. He caught a 36yard touchdown pass from junior Jack Henry Seal and then snared a 14-yard scoring reception from sophomore Patrick Brister. “Both of our quarterbacks, a junior and a sophomore, adjusted well to this offense, well, after our (senior starting) quarterback (Brady Pierson) went down with an injury (before district play

The duo combined for 218 passing yards with no turnovers. Gast couldn’t have imagined a quarterback-by-committee offense when he entered the season. “We’ve got two quarterbacks that can win us a game right now, and they do dif-

ferent things well, and we’re really a two-quarterback team right now, and kind of letting them battle it out and riding the hot hand. I think both of them played well tonight,” Gast said.

FRANKLINTON 49, PEARL RIVER 14: The Rebels committed three turnovers as the Demons (3-4, 1-1) scored 35 unanswered points that turned a tight game into a runaway District 7-4A victory. Ja’ty Maryland’s 9-yard TD run cut Franklinton’s lead in half at 14-7 in the first half, but the Demons scored 21 points in the second quarter to pull away. The Rebels turned the ball over on downs three times in the game, resulting in 21 points. Pearl River (3-4, 0-2) scored its final points on an 18-yard TD catch by Angel Perez (3 catches, 21 yards) to set the final score. Senior QB Romy Berel finished 6-of-15 passing for 68 yards, a TD and two interceptions. Kaysen McGinnis had two catches for 41 yards, while Maryland finished with 73 yards rushing on 12 carries. Defensively, Charlie Rickoll recovered a fumble, and Ethan Bowman picked off a pass.

Northlake shows grit in 5-set comeback win at PJP II BY CHRIS KINKAID Contributing writer

To say that the Northlake Christian volleyball team overcame adversity during its 5-set road win at Pope John Paul II on Oct. 14 would be an understatement. Facing their longtime rivals, the Wolverines fell behind 2-0 early and had to overcome an 8-point deficit in the fourth set to force a fifth set. But the visitors never blinked as they earned an 8-25, 17-25, 25-18, 26-24, 1512 nondistrict victory. “We’ve got an amazing group,” Northlake Christian coach Jake Palmer said. “They’re hard workers, and we’ve been in this situation before. We’ve done pretty well in fifth sets on the road (winning all three matches). I couldn’t be more proud. We just stuck with it. I told the girls in one of the huddles that you only have to take somebody’s best shot once, and we took that in the first set. “So we just kind of continued to fight and play, tinkered with the lineup a little bit, but overall, the girls just elevated their execution, and they’re just an awesome

The Pope John Paul II student section was loud during its Pink Game against Northlake Chrstian on Oct. 14. group.” Northlake trailed 9-4 early in the fifth set before senior Evie Burns recorded two key blocks to ignite a 7-2 run to tie the set at 11. After another deadlock at 12-12, Northlake scored the final three points to complete the comeback. “Evie (Burns) had some huge blocks, and blocks

are funny because they’re only worth one point on the scoreboard, but they’re usually worth more in the mindset of the attackers on the other side of the net,” Palmer said. “They get cautious and start giving easier balls. Evie was tremendous.” Burns said the Wolverines (20-7) were confident they

could come back after being down two sets early. “(Assistant) coach Audrey (Goldsberry) always gives us a big inspirational speech,” Burns said. “I think we just all knew we could do it, and there’s a certain fire because we want to beat Pope. “After set four, there was definitely a momen-

tum shift. We had some big blocks and big swings. I’m just really glad we came out with the win because it was super fun. We just believed that we could do it.” The Jaguars (10-12) were dominant early, jumping out to an 18-1 advantage en route to a 25-8 first-set win to the delight of a pink-clad home crowd. PJP II jumped

out to another big lead in the second set, 11-4. Northlake trimmed the advantage to 15-14, but the Jaguars went on to win 25-17 for a 2-0 lead in the match. The Wolverines took their first lead of the match on the first serve of the third set. With the set tied, 10-10, the Wolverines scored nine of the next 12 points to go up 19-13 before forcing a fourth set with the 25-18 victory. The comeback had started, but it wasn’t going to come easy, as the Jaguars led 17-9 in the fourth set. NCS chipped away to force extra points and a fifth set after a 26-24 win. PJP II coach Taylor Ricaud lamented her team’s fourth 5-set loss this season, adding that a ‘diffusion of responsibility’ was a big reason for the disappointing result. “It’s something that we’ve been battling all season,” she said. “(Diffusion of responsibility) is just thinking, she’s gonna do the job, she’s gonna do the job and diffuse the responsibility onto each other, and then nobody does the job. It’s been like this all season, so we have to find a way to avoid that.”

coach Danny (Tullis) got on us before coming out to start the third set. We made lots of mistakes in the first two sets, but we got it together and played as a real team, winning the next three. We played with much more confidence after coach yelled at us,” Duncan said. “Slidell is our district rival, and it’s good to get our second district victory. I didn’t want to let my teammates down, so I did what I had to do to help get the win. We finally did a better job with serve-receive, which made a big difference.” Carter, who posted eight kills, eight digs and a team-high four blocks, was also a big part of the Skippers’ comeback. “I think we were kind of down on ourselves going into the Slidell game after losing our last two matches. We were a little shaky until coach got on us before the third set. We got fired up, knowing we had to give everything to come back,” Carter said. “We finally got locked in and gained the momentum, pulling it out. We got it together, playing as a team, and that was the difference.” Mandeville junior outside hitter Maelle Markovic added 23 digs and seven kills, while junior libero Mikaela Duncan pulled up 23 digs. Senior Anna Yarbrough finished with 12 assists and eight digs. Tullis also highlighted the timely

Slidell sophomore setter Tessa Symons finished with a match-high 34 assists against Mandeville on Oct. 13. contributions of junior Camryn Mahoney (three blocks), who recently returned after a three-month absence with a torn meniscus. Mahoney missed her sophomore season with a torn ACL. “My mindset was to go in and give it my absolute best, with 100 percent effort,” Mahoney said. “It’s easy to doubt yourself when you’re coming back from an injury, but it’s all about playing with confidence. You can’t take anything for granted, so you just get back in there and trust yourself.” Slidell (19-10, 2-1) looked poised for a sweep after a gritty 27-25 win in the second set, which featured 17 dif-

Slidell’s biggest advantage was a mere three points at 17-14, en route to the two-point victory as two costly Mandeville unforced errors gave Slidell a 2-0 lead. Unfortunately for the home team, Mandeville took the next three sets. Senior Emma Pippenger led the Tigers’ balanced attack with a gamehigh 16 kills, 22 digs and three blocks, followed by fellow senior Grace Chawki (13 kills, 16 digs, 3 blocks). Sophomore setter Tessa Symons, who started playing the position only three months ago, registered a match-high 34 assists, along with seven kills and five blocks. Slidell coach Logan Lockard praised the performance of her two seniors, Chawki and Pippenger, along with Symons, but was disappointed with how her team finished the match after taking the first two sets. “For whatever reason, things changed for us, and we struggled in the third set, losing our rhythm. In the first two sets, we played disciplined defense, and we were the aggressors in control,” Lockard said. “This is the first time we’ve gone five sets this season, having to endure emotional, mental and physical fatigue in a long match. We hope to grow from this, pushing ourselves, hoping to become better prepared to handle other close matches we may have.” Slidell junior middle hitter Jasira Banks logged eight blocks, five digs, three kills and a match-high three aces, while junior libero Brylee McGovern pulled up 15 digs.

Northshore volleyball coach Danny Davis doesn’t talk much about his accomplishments. The 59-year-old is quick to turn the focus to his players and their performances when the Panthers secure a victory. Northshore has won a lot with Davis at the helm over the past 16 seasons, and on Oct. 13, the players and parents turned a light on their coach, who secured his 500th career win with a 25-18, 25-15, 18-25, 25-16 District 7-I win at Ponchatoula. “I’ve been very fortunate to have surrounded myself with some awesome, great kids who bought into what we’re trying to do,” Davis said. “I’m not an easy person to play for, but I have been very fortunate to coach some great kids over the years. I couldn’t reach a milestone like this without all of the players and assistant coaches I’ve had over the years.” Sophomore Riley Porter recorded 20 kills, while senior Sarah Johnsen added nine in the victory. Senior libero Gracie Schaff had a team-high 18 digs, and freshman setter Sela Doll recorded 39 assists. Sophomore Kaelyn Phillips and senior Brooklyn Ballard added 14 and 13 digs, respectively. Despite dropping the third set, Northshore rebounded and improved to 12-9 and 2-0 in District 7-I to keep pace in its competitive district. Davis worked in banking for 11 years before switching over to coaching and teaching. He spent seven seasons at St. Scholastica before moving to Northshore 16 years ago.

“I’ve been very fortunate to have surrounded myself with some awesome, great kids who bought into what we’re trying to do. I’m not an easy person to play for, but I have been very fortunate to coach some great kids over the years. I couldn’t reach a milestone like this without all of the players and assistant coaches I’ve had over the years.” DANNY DAVIS, Northshore volleyball coach Davis said he planned a modest celebration for the milestone, especially since the Panthers were on the road. But his wife had other ideas. “I like to keep my stuff to myself, but my wife decided to leak it out to a few people that I was getting close to 500 wins,” Davis said. “A few people became quite a few people. I would much rather the kids get the recognition, but it’s been a great fit for me to be part of Northshore. That’s why we have had the success we have. “At the 24th point in the fourth set, the thought came to my mind that I could take a breath. My mindset was that I wanted to get the district win, and then we could tell everyone on the bus, and that was it. I didn’t think about anything beyond that.” Northshore players and parents didn’t want to wait to celebrate as Davis was presented with a banner and a team photo as the defending state quarterfinalists remained undefeated in district play.

ADMINISTRA‐ TIVE COM‐ MENTS AND RE‐ PORTS 1. Mayor Marka. He Stated One of the most famous person to ever come out of the city of Covington as a per‐ son most of us have never heard of and that is Theo von. He stated at Theo Von is a comedian and today has over 30 million followers on social media. He re‐ cently interviewed senator John Kennedy and during the presidential campaign he inter‐ viewed Donald Trump and he was voted most humor‐ ous in his class when he attended William pitcher. He stated he played basketball with Councilman Joey Roberts right at the Y when it was on Hwy. 190. b. He stated He stated the comment about the council that we're saying about visiting our Police Department you almost have to think about Coving‐ ton BPD as our own little private secu‐ rity force. He stated you as a resident has this huge resource at your disposal and I think so often I see residents trying to handle little things like solicitors or dog leash laws, and you don't have to do that because we have people for that and they're very good at it and they're very professional and they're trained. He stated that if you haven't already you need to text capital CPDLA 2847411 and you'll get an au‐ tomatic response. He stated enter that in your phone as a contact Covington PD and that's your way to send text messages directly for any concern you have. He stated it will go directly to an officer on duty. He stated this is for non-emergency only for if there is an emergency you still have to call 911 but it is a great resource and, in the time, it takes you to com‐ plain on Facebook you could have ac‐ tually contacted a police officer. c. He stated he would like to men‐ tion that noticeably absent this evening is our Chief Admin‐ istrative Officer, Erin Stair. This is the first meeting since she's been CAO that she has not attended. He stated her mother has had health is‐ sues this past year or two and those have taken a turn for the worse, so I ask that you keep Erin, her mother and her fa‐ ther in your prayers, thank you. 2. Erin Stair, CAO Absent 3. Rod Rodrigue , City Attorney None Council President Verret stated the next council meet‐ ing will be on the second Tuesday Oc‐ tober 13, 2026 due to Night Out against crime There being no fur‐ ther business, the meeting was ad‐ journed at 6:36 PM.
