Minden brings in the new year with fireworks

STAFF REPORT Minden Press-Herald

Louisiana gas prices have risen 5.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.27/g today, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,436 stations. Gas prices in Louisiana are 6.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stands 32.1 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

“The streak has been broken: for seven straight weeks we saw the national average drop, but the fun has come to an end as oil prices continue to show strength into the last days of 2019 boosting the national average this past week,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Louisiana is priced at $2.05/g today while the most expensive is $2.96/g, a difference of 91.0 cents per gallon. The lowest price in the state today is $2.05/g while the highest is $2.96/g, a difference of 91.0 cents per gallon. The cheapest price in the entire country today stands at $1.88/g while the most expensive is $5.19/g, a difference of $3.31/g.

Australia sending aid to wildfire towns as death toll rises PERTH, Australia (AP) — Australia deployed military ships and aircraft Wednesday to help communities ravaged by apocalyptic wildfires that have left at least 17 people dead nationwide and sent thousands of residents and holidaymakers fleeing to the shoreline.

Navy ships and military aircraft were bringing water, food and fuel to towns where supplies were depleted and roads were cut off by the fires. Authorities confirmed three bodies were found Wednesday at Lake Conjola on the south coast of New South Wales, bringing the death toll in the state to 15.

More than 175 homes have been destroyed in the region.

Some 4,000 people in the coastal town of Mallacoota fled to the shore as winds pushed a fire toward their homes under a sky darkened by smoke and turned blood-red by flames. Stranded residents and vacationers slept in their cars, and gas stations and surf clubs transformed into evacuation areas. Dozens of homes

burned before winds changed direction late Tuesday, sparing the rest of the town.

Victoria Emergency Commissioner Andrew Crisp told reporters the Australian Defence Force was moving naval assets to Mallacoota on a supply mission that would last two weeks and helicopters would also fly in more firefighters since roads were inaccessible.

“I think that was our biggest threat in terms of what are we doing with the children if we need to go in the water to protect ourselves given the fact that they are only 1, 3 and 5,” tourist Kai Kirschbaum told ABC Australia. “If you’re a good swimmer it doesn’t really matter if you have to be in the water for a longer time, but doing that with three kids that would have been, I think, a nightmare.”

Conditions cooled Wednesday, but the fire danger remained very high across the state, where four people are missing.

“We have three months of hot weather to come. We do have a

dynamic and a dangerous fire situation across the state,” Crisp said.

In the New South Wales town of Conjola Park, 89 properties were confirmed destroyed and cars were melted by Tuesday’s fires. More than 100 fires were still burning in the state Wednesday, though none were at an emergency level. Seven people have died this week, including a volunteer firefighter, a man found in a burnt-out car and a father and son who died in their house.

Firefighting crews took advantage of easing conditions on Wednesday to restore power to critical infrastructure and conduct some back burning, before conditions were expected to deteriorate Saturday as high temperatures and strong winds return.

“There is every potential that the conditions on Saturday will be as bad or worse than we saw yesterday,” New South Wales Rural Fire Service Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers said.

The early and devastating start to Australia’s summer wildfires has led authorities to rate this season the worst on record and reignited debate about whether Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s conservative government has taken enough action on climate change. Australia is the world’s largest exporter of coal and liquefied natural gas, but Morrison rejected calls last month to downsize Australia’s lucrative coal industry.

Morrison won a surprise third term in May. Among his government’s pledges was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% by 2030 — a modest figure compared to the center-left opposition Labor party’s pledge of 45%.

The leader of the minor Australian Greens party, Richard Di Natale, demanded a royal commission, the nation’s highest form of inquiry, on the wildfire crisis.

“If he (Morrison) refuses to do

Fire: Around 12.35 million acres of land has burned over the past few months Continued from Page 1 so, we will be moving for a parliamentary commission of inquiry with royal commission-like powers as soon as parliament returns,” Di Natale said in a statement.

About 5 million hectares (12.35 million acres) of land have burned nationwide over the past few months, with at least 17 people dead and more than 1,000 homes destroyed.

Some communities canceled New Year’s fireworks celebrations, but Sydney’s popular display over its

iconic harbor controversially went ahead in front of more than a million revelers. The city was granted an exemption to a total fireworks ban in place there and elsewhere to prevent new wildfires.

Smoke from the wildfires meant Canberra, the nation’s capital, on Wednesday had air quality more than 21 times the hazardous rating to be reportedly the worst in the world.

The smoke has also wafted across the Tasman Sea and into New Zealand.

Gas: Prices jumped due to a drop in oil inventories Continued from Page 1 The national average price of gasoline has risen 1.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.57/g today. The national average is down 2.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 32.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.

Lady Tiders begin district campaign tonight

Minden’s Shakayla Carter will lead the Lady Tiders into battle tonight at Woodlawn in the first district game of the season.

JJ Marshall

jjmarshall@press-herald.com The Lady Tiders have a tough road ahead.

Last season, the Tiders cruised through most district games against everyone not named “Benton.”

This season, even without the Lady Tigers on the distrcit docket, Minden will have perhaps an even tougher road to the district title.

The district season begins tonight as the Lady Tiders travel to Shreveport for a game against Woodlawn.

Minden is coming off an up-and-down Doc Edwards Tournament at Airline.

After the holiday break, the Tiders should be rested and ready to take on the first in a series of grueling district matchups.

Huntington and Woodlawn stand in the way of the Former North Webster standout Devin White was the first linebacker taken in the 2019 draft, and he closed his rookie season by making sure the Buccaneers had no doubt about the wisdom of their selection.

White had 29 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and four fumble recoveries over the final five weeks of the regular season.

He returned two of those fumbles for touchdowns, including a 91-yard return in the season finale against the Falcons.

The NFL announced White as its choice for the league’s defensive rookie of the month on Thursday.

White has 91 tackles, 2.5 sacks and three forced fumbles to go with that interception and those fumble recoveries this season. In Weeks 14-17, White totaled 22 tackles, three fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one defensive touchdown.

His three opponent fumble

recoveries over the four-game stretch led all NFL players in that span.

In Week 17 vs. Atlanta, White returned a fumble 91 yards for a touchdown, marking the longest fumble return touchdown in Buccaneers team history and the seventh-longest touchdown of any kind in franchise history. He became the first NFL rookie since 1970 with two opponent fumble recovery touchdowns in a season.

He becomes the first Buccaneers rookie to win a monthly rookie award in consecutive months and just the second to win twice, joining 2005 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, Carnell Williams (September & December 2005).

Since the NFL Rookie of the Month award was first introduced in 1996, White is just the fifth defensive player to earn the honor in consecutive months joining: Jevon Kearse (November-December 1999), Kendrell Bell (October-November 2001), Dwight

Freeney (November-December 2002) and Brian Cushing (November-December/January 2009).

White led all rookies with 7.0 tackles per game and two defensive touchdowns in 2019, while also tying for first with four opponent fumble recoveries (returned for a league-best 121 yards) and tying for second with three forced fumbles. His four opponent fumble recoveries on the season tied Cecil Johnson (1977) for the most by a rookie in team history, while his three forced fumbles are tied for the second-most.

In addition, White’s 91 tackles on the season are the third-most by a rookie in team history, trailing only Pro Bowl linebackers Lavonte David (139 in 2012) and Kwon Alexander (93 in 2015). White is the only rookie in team history with multiple defensive touchdowns in a season.

Lady Tiders capturing backto-back district titles.

I saw Huntington play in the Doc Edwards Tournament last weekend, and they look as tough as anyone in the area.

Woodlawn is up there with the Lady Raiders, but Minden should still see themselves as the class of the district.

Minden has struggled around the rim this season.

Janiya Reed is able to create shots for herself and others, but the Tiders must hit the easy shots around the rim if they are to compete for the crown.

New addition Shakayla Carter will most likely get more shots as she settles into the squad as well, opening up lanes for her teammates.

It all begins tonight at Woodlawn. Girls only. The spotlight is on.
