This Monday night, September 29th at 6 PM, the “Meet the School Board Candidate Forum” is the only announced opportunity for Central voters to hear from candidates in a public forum before the November 4th election. The free event is sponsored by the Republican Women of Central and is open to the public. The event will be at the new Central Middle School cafeteria starting with a 5:30 “meet and greet” for voters to ask questions of the candidates one on one. At 6 PM each candidate will have equal time for introductory statements. They will then have an opportunity to address the crowd and make their case for election to Central’s School Board and expressing their vision for the Central School System. Three of Central’s School Board seats
peak
are on the ballot: Willard Easley faces Phillip Ziegler in District 4, Nick Carmena faces Ruby Foil in District 6, and Felicia Braud and Sharon Browning vie for the District 7 seat. The format will offer voters a chance to meet candidates prior to their introduction, learn more about their professional and personal background and their reasons why voters should “hire” them with their votes. After the forum, everyone is encouraged to ask questions of the candidates individually, take yard signs, push cards and sign up to volunteer on the various campaigns. Voter registration for students and citizens 17 years of age and older will be available at the forum. For students who are registering to vote before their 18th birthday, their registration
onday at

THAT Made the Front Page?
Speaking with a friend who lives in Baton Rouge and rarely comes to Central, I mentioned that tonight’s “Movie in the Park” was on the front page of the paper last week. I could see him mentally reviewing recent front pages he had seen in Baton Rouge. Then he said “THAT made the front page?!?” I responded “Of course….this is Central.” We at Central Speaks, with help from Armand Services and Rebel Electric, are not only pleased to be sponsoring tonight’s free double feature, but we are even happier that fun family events are important to the people of Central. Yes, THAT made the front page! Looking back over our previous 231 front pages, and looking forward to the next few months, I am even more proud to live in Central. The past month has

seen the citizens of Central who are passionate about history and the arts band together to begin the process of saving the 1927 Auditorium for use as a Cultural Center. THAT made the front page! Friday night is homecoming and football at both of Central’s high schools. All fall I am never surprised to see coverage, scores and photos from CHS and CP football. Yes, THAT makes the front page! The annual “Pumpkin Patch” event at Blackwater Methodist is coming next month. It attracts hundreds of school children in busses and families with their little ones, hearing stories, taking hay rides, and picking out their special pumpkin for the holiday. And yes, most likely, THAT will make the front page. Do I believe all is a bed of roses in Central? No, not really, but that will not stop me from looking for excuses to celebrate all of the good things going on here in Central. For well over 4 years, and now 232 front pages, Central Speaks has almost always been able to find things in Central to celebrate, making people not from here ask the question, “THAT made the front page?” Yes it did, and that is Good News for a Great City.

Central Chamber of Commerce C4 Report Five Years!
Next week marks an important “milestone” for me! In October 2009, the then Board of Directors gave me the opportunity to serve a three month trial period as the Central Chamber’s President and CEO. Two months later they made the decision to hire me and the rest, as they would say, “is history!” While many things remain the same, the Central Chamber has seen tremendous changes in the last 5 years. Here is a brief list: *Membership, as of the writing of this article, is at 360. *The Chamber has an interactive and informative website. *“Shop Small Business Saturday,” which encourages “Shop Central First” throughout the Holiday season, continues to grow and is a yearly event. *Membership Development, Public Policy, Educational Workforce, and Business Relations Committees have all been started. *Several affinity programs are available to our members. *The second City of Central Map has been produced. *We now network with The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Louisiana Association of Business and
Industry, American Chamber of Commerce Executives, Louisiana Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives and several other local area chambers, civic groups, and governmental organizations. *A Beauty Pageant, which this year is now part of the Miss America System, is in its fourth year. *An Ambassador program is now in place helping to improve contact with our members. *Training Seminars are taking place on a regular basis. *The Central Chamber now has a permanent home at 12416 Hooper Road! These are just a few of the many exciting developments that have taken place over the last five years. I want to thank the Board of Directors and our investors for being willing to work with the staff and myself over the last five years. We all can look forward to the future, knowing that the Central Chamber will continue to grow, improve and promote the business interests of our community! Ron Erickson President and CEO, Central Chamber of Commerce

CAPA Corner: What Can YOU Pumpkin Patch Coming Soon Once again, Do for the City of Central? Blackwater United
If you are reading this article, I believe you probably love the city of Central. If you are like me, you enjoy the rural setting of Central. Central is a “get away” from the rest of Baton Rouge, yet we have many amenities in our wonderful city. But, of course, the best thing about Central is the people. The people of a community make each community unique, and we are blessed with many caring and sharing people. Central is a great place to live. So, what can we do to make it even better? What can YOU do to make Central even better? You don’t have to be an elected official or serve in some sort of leadership position to help make Central even better. All you have to do is do what the psalmist calls the Israelites to do in Psalm 122: pray for the city. Pray for its peace, security, unity, religious freedom, welfare, growth, health, and prosperity. Pray that the city of Central will be a light for all those around us, so that all that we do in every area of this city’s life brings glory to the LORD. Let us keep the LORD’S glory as our focus and the entire city
will reap the benefits of pleasing Him. You can pray in these ways for Central anytime, anywhere. Also, pray in these ways for the people of Central – for its leaders, schools, businesses, churches, and families. Let’s use Psalm 122: 6-9 as the model prayer for our city and its welfare: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! ‘May they be secure who love you! Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!’ For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, ‘Peace be within you!’ For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.” (ESV) Take time, even right now, to pray this prayer for our city. Cut out this article and pray it often as you read your Bible. Mark this passage in your Bible and pray for Central. This is what we ALL can do to make Central an even better place to live – a place that loves the LORD and desires to see Him glorified in every area of our lives and in every area of our city’s life. Don Hulsey, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church

Ochsner Baton Rouge Gives Tips on How to Incorporate More Fruits and Veggies into your Diet
Submitted by Ochsner Medical Center
September is Fruits & Veggies – More Matters Month, and it’s a good time to stop and ask, are you getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet? Sure, an apple a day can keep the doctor away. But did you know that eating at least 1½ cups of fruit and two cups of vegetables daily can also reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease, and stroke? According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, consuming 1½ to 2 cups of fruits and 2 to 4 cups of vegetables is optimal. The amount depends on the number of calories per day recommended for your healthy weight. Start boosting your daily consumption of fruits and vegetables with a few easy eating tips from the Produce for Better Health Foundation and Philip Saigeon, clinical dietitian, Ochsner Baton Rouge. Anytime: • Put fruit and vegetables at the top of your shopping list. • Buy many kinds of fruits and vegetables when you shop, so you have plenty of choices and you don't run out. Buy fresh, frozen, dried, and canned. • After shopping, use soft fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, peaches, and tomatoes first, because they go bad easily. Save hardier varieties, such as apples and acorn squash, or frozen and canned products for later in the week. • Increase portions when you serve
vegetables and fruits. • Keep a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table or counter. • Keep packs of applesauce, raisins, or other dried fruit in your car or office. • Create portioned out “grab and go” bags of vegetables on the top shelf of the refrigerator for quick lunch bag fillers • Don't smother vegetables or fruits in highcalorie, high-fat sauces, or glazes. • Avoid overcooking or boiling vegetables because this may reduce their nutrient content. Certain nutrients end up in the cooking water, which is usually discarded. Breakfast: • Start your day by making a vegetable or fruit smoothie with added protein powder. • Eating fruit in the morning can be your nutrition ignition key to stimulating your metabolism. • Add chopped fruit to your breakfast cereal. Try sliced bananas, apples, or dried fruit, such as raisins or apricots. • Top toast with mashed strawberries or bananas. • Add sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and asparagus to an omelet. Lunch: • Put at least one salad vegetable in your sandwich. Try tomato, lettuce, cucumber, grated carrots, or avocado. • Consider using lettuce wraps for sandwiches in place of breads or tortillas. • Eat a piece of fruit for dessert. When fresh fruits aren't in season, choose canned fruit packed in juice or consider frozen fruit that
will have a longer shelf life. • Spoon some fresh salsa over a ham or chicken sandwich before adding the top slice of bread. • Choose vegetable toppings for pizza. • Add fruits and veggies to prepared salads. For example, add grapes, raisins, or apple slices to chicken salad; chopped onions, green peppers, and carrots to tuna salad. • Add berries or sliced bananas to plain lowfat yogurt for a sweet treat. • Snack on raw veggies dipped in salsa. Dinner: • Have one or two vegetables besides potatoes with your dinner. A simple way to add vegetables is to buy frozen packaged combinations of them: succotash or peas and carrots, for instance. • Become creative with spicing up entrees with flavor, enhancing vegetables in place of salted ingredients. • Add vegetables to soups, sauces, and casseroles. For example, grate carrot and zucchini into spaghetti sauce. • Add onions, green peppers, and diced tomatoes to a bean burrito or quesadilla. • Top fat-free ice cream, ice milk, or sherbet with sliced bananas, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. “Eating more fruits and vegetables will provide the body with more soluble and insoluble fiber, promoting satiety and improved intestinal health,” said Saigeon. “Make eating fruits and vegetables fun – plant your own vegetable, spice and herb garden. This can also save you money!”

Fall Cleaning: Your Medicine Cabinet
Ochsner Medical Center Press Release
With so many things to add to your spring cleaning list, why not make your medicine cabinet a priority this fall? National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is September 27, 2014, and Ochsner Medical Center – Baton Rouge will be participating from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.at Physician Plaza 1 next door to the hospital. Why is it important to properly dispose of your unused or expired medications? Medication can harm someone it is not prescribed for, including children and animals. Disposing of old medications reduces the risk of unintentional use, overdose, and illegal abuse. Plus, a wide range of prescription drugs have been detected in lakes, streams, rivers, and drinking water supplies due to flushing them down the toilet. “The best way to get rid of unused or expired medications is to take them to a medication dropoff location,” said Andy Boothe, Director of Pharmacy, Ochsner Baton Rouge. “People typically don’t look through their medicine cabinet until they need something, oftentimes to realize the drug they are looking for
is expired and they need to get rid of it. People may also need to dispose of drugs of deceased family members. This upcoming event provides people with a safe, anonymous, easy way to dispose of drugs, while preventing potential misuse or harm from leaving these drugs sitting in the cabinet.” Once you have cleaned expired or unused products out of your medicine cabinet, be sure you have needed supplies and medications. Everyone takes a little spill here or there or gets a cough or diarrhea and then stumbles around the bathroom trying to find bandages or cough medicine or other medication. That’s why you should have these medicine cabinet essentials always on hand: • Hydrogen peroxide for wounds • Antibiotic ointment • Adhesive bandages and sterile gauze pads • An oral thermometer • Pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, for headaches and/or other aches and pains • Sunscreen • Antidiarrhea medication • Cough medicine • Cold/flu medicine

Wildcats Struggle in Jesuit Loss
Photo by Expressions Photography Pictured: #10 Gabe Brown, #77 Tristen Beardon, #69 Hyatt Harris, & #78 Blase Courville
Last Friday’s game in New Orleans proved to be a rough one for the Central Wildcats. Central fought hard, but they could not seem to turn effort into scores in the 6-35 loss. Jesuit kept a steady pace, scoring one touchdown per quarter, and two in the fourth. The Wildcats responded in the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass of their own. Tyler Sansone was the starting quarterback for Central, completing 8 of 11 passes for 53 yards and 1 interception. Sansone suffered a minor shoulder injury during the game and was replaced by Gabe Brown, who completed 2 of 8 for 20 yards, including a touchdown pass to Luke Snyder. James Schopp (3 rec for 24 yds) and Terrell Chatman (4 rec for 21
yds) led the Wildcats in receiving. The big rushers for Central were Xavier Lewis (5 for 31 yds), Leo Brownfield (5 for 30 yds), and Tyler Sansone (8 for 26 yds). Jearimiah Ward had Central’s longest kickoff return at 22 yards. Kevin Henry led the Wildcats on defense with 5 tackles and 2 assists. Hollingsworth, Davis, and Ward each racked up 3 tackles of their own, with Davis adding 3 assists and Ward getting 1 assist and 1 tackle for loss.

CHS Homecoming vs McKinley
The Wildcats will host the McKinley Panthers for the Central High homecoming game this Friday at 7 PM. McKinley has shut out their last two opponents, winning big against both Capitol and Opelousas. McKinley will be looking to continue that streak, and Central will be looking for a win after their tough loss to Jesuit. This will be the Wildcats’ last game before district play starts next week. Football game tickets can be bought in advance from the Central High School front office or at the game. For anyone listening from home, the game will be broadcast live, thanks in large part to headline sponsor Central Stat Care, on 91.9 FM and on the TuneIn Radio app.

In Memoriam: Joseph Pizzolato, Jr.
Joseph "Joey" Anthony Pizzolato, Jr, 35, a native of north Baton Rouge, resident of Central, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2014. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend. Joey Jr was an adrenaline seeker, daredevil, and adventurist who enjoyed being one with nature and lived his life to the fullest. He was an animal lover and through the years had a variety of pets. Joey Jr had a heart of gold and was known as a very generous, caring soul who extended himself to everyone. He rarely met a person he couldn't make laugh or smile with his huge personality, infectious smile, and beautiful blue eyes. He enjoyed anything fast, especially ATVs and
motorcycles, spending time with his two nephews, godsons Jake Wyble and Brody Pizzolato, making people laugh, being the life of any party, and collecting as many animals for pets as he could. Joey Jr is survived by his loving parents Joey Pizzolato, Sr. and Siri Kilcrease Pizzolato; sister Cassie Pizzolato; nephews Jake and Max Wyble; grandmother Mary Lee Pizzolato; longtime love and best friend Aida Richey and many relatives. He was preceded in death by his grandfather Anthony "Tony" Pizzolato, Sr.; grandfather Henry Clayton Kilcrease; grandmother Emily Lea Kilcrease; and Crystal Candella. Pallbearers will be cousins Blaine Pizzolato, Mikey Pizzolato, Clay Kilcrease; uncle Brad Burkett; and longtime friends Don Tate and Jason Wyble. Visitation was held at Greenoaks Memorial Funeral Home on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 from 5 pm until 9 pm. Visitation resumed on Thursday, September 25, 2014 at St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church at 10 a.m. until Mass of Christian Burial at 12 p.m. celebrated by Fr. Jeff Bayhi. Interment followed on the grounds of Greenoaks Memorial Park. Joey Jr will be greatly missed by many and left this world far too soon.
