The March Webster Parish School Board meeting began with presentations of new curriculums by JA Phillips and JL Jones. Representatives from both schools came to show how the priority will be making sure that 2nd graders are going into 3rd grade with a comprehension of the alphabet in order to develop reading skills. To do so, the schools are devising different programs to incentivize reading for students. Recently, a student, Riley Brown, got to be principal for a day after reaching an AR goal of 250 points. “She was given observation forms, and the teachers got the biggest kick out of getting their observations feedback from Riley,” said Mrs. Wallace of J.L. Jones about Brown’s day as Principal. They have also done other programs, such as scheduling a visit from the Minden High Basketball Team who came to read books to them. Mrs. Glenda Broughton was accompanied by friends and family to her swearing-in as the Dist. 8 seats on the School Board, with Judge Cox officiating. After the event was memorialized with pictures, Mrs. Broughton took her seat with the board and the meeting continued. The March 2020 Employee of the Month, presented by Rodney Taylor was awarded to Mr. Keith Taylor. “Keith works as a warehouseman for food services. Most people don’t realize how important Mr. Taylor’s position is for our school system. He makes sure that all food deliveries are made to all schools in the district and is the sole person responsible for checking all freezers and equipment rooms in cafeterias,” said Taylor. During his time at the end of the meeting, Superintendent Johnny Rowland shared a few words about who he thinks is the best pic for State Superintendent, Dr. Cade Brumley. “Number one he’s from North See, SCHOOL BOARD, Page 3

School Board: Rowland endorses Dr. Cade Brumley for State Superintendent Continued from Page 1 Louisiana,” said Rowland. “Then he became a Principal in DeSoto parish, and what he did there was he took the model they had, and under his leadership and guidance, along with his very capable staff, DeSoto parish went to a whole other level and that’s an understatement. He is universally regarded around the state as being someone that is an excellent educator, but also
someone that will listen, someone that is definitely pro-public education, while having the savvy to be able to navigate what is going to be extremely political waters which a position like that will bring.” The March 2, 2020 meeting of the Webster Parish School Board is held the first Monday of every month starting at 6:00 p.m. at the Webster Parish School Board Office.

OTHER OPINION
The establishment’s ultimatum: Scuttle Bernie! After Joe Biden’s blowout victory in South Carolina Saturday and the swift withdrawal of Tom Steyer, “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the decisive day of the race for the Democratic nomination, Super Tuesday, is at hand. Fourteen states — including California and Texas and delegate-rich Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia — hold primaries today, where 40% of the delegates to the Democratic convention will be chosen. Yet consider where the Democratic Party, the party of diversity, America’s “progressive” party, the all-inclusive party of persons of color, African Americans, Asians and Hispanics, the party of women and LGBT, will close out this day. Of the 24 candidates who sought the nomination in 2019, all the black candidates such as Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris and Gov. Deval Patrick, have been eliminated. The sole Asian American, Andrew Yang, is gone. The Hispanic candidate, Julian Castro, is long gone. Winning just 2% of the black vote in South Carolina, 38-year-old gay candidate Pete Buttigieg is gone. After South Carolina, the last two women in the race, Elizabeth Warren and Klobuchar, were put under pressure from the Democratic establishment in its hair-on-fire panic. To do what? These female senators were to sacrifice their hopes and dreams to advance the establishment’s plot to derail the nomination of the unapologetic progressive who has run
the best and boldest campaign of this election year — Bernie Sanders. Klobuchar packed it in Monday. Warren is barely hanging on. And where does that leave the party of diversity this first week in March? With three potential nominees. All three are aging white men — Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg. All three, if nominated and elected, would soon celebrate their 80th birthday in the White House. The establishment’s ultimatum : Ever yone, PATRICK J. get with the BUCHANAN program of breaking Bernie and “Go with Joe!” or face retribution. Of what is the establishment terrified? That if Sanders is nominated, Donald Trump will crush him in November. And not only will the White House be lost, all hopes of winning the Senate and blocking Trump’s second-term Supreme Court nominees would also be lost. And not only the Senate but Nancy Pelosi’s House could also be lost. And not only the House but hundreds of down-ballot candidates could also lose, leaving the GOP with the whip hand in redistricting congressional seats through the decade. For Democrats, the fear is of
the Harding-Coolidge Roaring ‘20s revisited. And if Trumpists rule the roost in the Republican Party and the populist-left of “Crazy Bernie” dominates the Democratic Party, what happens to the agenda of the establishment? Today promises to a fateful one in the history of the Democratic Party, and it will answer many questions: Will Sanders win enough delegates to give him an insurmountable lead for the nomination? Or will he have a good, but not a great, night, winning most of the states, but not a large enough pile of delegates to reach 50% before the convention in Milwaukee? As for Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who was being urged to drop out and back Biden before he got the first returns on his $500 million investment in his campaign, what did he buy with that half billion? We shall find out today. If his performance is disappointing, will he yield to the establishment and do what it demands to advance the killing of Sanders’ candidacy? As for Biden, the questions are clear and crucial: Will the momentum from Saturday’s victory be sustained and replicated in Alabama and other Southern and border states where the African American share of the Democratic electorate is similar to South Carolina’s? Will today provide the clarity the establishment and Biden want, and make this a Biden-Sanders race, with those
two coming into the convention with large blocs of delegates but neither with a majority? What the establishment wants is for the first ballot to end without a nominee — if that nominee would be Sanders — and the pledged delegates to be freed of their commitments, and for the superdelegates to vote on the second ballot, and for the party thus to be spared falling into the custody of an angry septuagenarian socialist. For the Democratic establishment, the stakes could not be higher and thus that establishment, after Biden’s landslide in South Carolina, is not disguising its interests or demands: Sanders must be denied the nomination, and Biden is the only one who can accomplish that. Biden might have won South Carolina without the endorsement of veteran African American Congressman Jim Clyburn. But it was Clyburn’s blessing that gave Biden his landslide. And if Biden wins Alabama and other states today, the major factors of his victory will be his South Carolina landslide and his support from African Americans. Should Biden win the nomination, still a long shot, he will be in deep political debt. Look for Biden to put an African American woman on his ticket.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP
Gadsden (Ala.) Times: ERA efforts should not pervert law A poll by the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released last week showed 3-to-1 support among Americans for an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. You remember the ERA, don’t you? It was passed by Congress — by wide margins in both houses — in the early 1970s, when the concept of women’s liberation was flourishing throughout the country, and sent to the states for ratification. The operative language in the amendment: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Government 101 refresher: This country’s Founding Fathers, with good reason, made it quite difficult to amend the Constitution. An amendment requires approval of threefourths of state legislatures — that’s 38 in a 50-state country — to be enacted. Congress set a March 22, 1979, deadline for that to happen. It didn’t — only 35 states had ratified the amendment, which drew intense opposition
from conservative groups. They contended that there already were plenty of laws and court decisions on record to guarantee equality between men and women, and that passing the ERA would eliminate traditional gender roles, mean female military personnel in combat, spawn same-sex restrooms and marriages, and irrevocably open the door to taxpayer-funded abortions. (We can only imagine the reaction if they’d had a crystal ball.) The deadline was extended to June 30, 1982. Ratification still didn’t happen; the total remained stuck on 35. It seemed to be the end of the situation; no one raised an eyebrow when Nevada in 2017 and Illinois in 2018 ratified the amendment. Everything changed last month, however, when Virginia’s Legislature, now controlled by Democrats with an activist bent, became the 38th state to approve the ERA. Also in February, the House of Representatives — also controlled by Democrats with an activist bent — voted to repeal the 1982 deadline and theoretically clear the way for the amend-
“We simply have trouble with changing the rules three decades after the fact to ensure an outcome that wasn’t achieved within the specified parameters. ‘ ment to become law. Of course that legislation has zero chance of escaping the Senate. Also, five states that had passed the ERA have backtracked and rescinded their approval, a situation that ultimately would have to be worked out in the courts. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has filed a federal lawsuit, which his counterparts in Louisiana and South Dakota have joined, seeking to have the door slammed on the ERA. We’ve often poked at state officials for their constant and often fruitless challenges to the feds, and Marshall in announcing his suit painted a hyperbolic picture of the ERA being used to enact a “far-left agenda” and “expand the frontiers” of what can be considered as
gender-based discrimination. However, we think this effort is on much more solid ground than some of those quixotic ones. We’re not dismissing the reality — the absolute given — that men and women are equal and the law should recognize and treat them as such. The AP/NORC poll found bipartisan support for an ERA (90% of Democrats, 60% of Republicans). We simply have trouble with changing the rules three decades after the fact to ensure an outcome that wasn’t achieved within the specified parameters. We would feel the same way about anyone pushing such a cause célébre, regardless of its significance to or the philosophies held by its advocates. If there’s to be an ERA, its advocates need to start the process from square one. We think we’re in good company with that assertion; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, heroine to liberals and feminists, has said the same thing. Online: https://www.gadsdentimes. com

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Your circle of friends matters
As I got home Sunday from an amazing trip I am excited and refreshed for the next step in my life’s journey. It is true that you become like the people you hang out with. I was around the most positive people ever. They encourage you and they challenge you at the same time. These are the kind TINA SPECHT of people I love to partner with. This is what is going to make me successful. My husband and I are in a season of growing — and not in weight either Who are you hanging out with? Are they building you up and helping you grow into something bigger and better. I never knew what it was like to be challenged. Since I started my weightloss journey and became a coach my world has totally changed. Have you ever been a place
in your life that you know you are right where God wants you to be? Well, I am and I am very excited. When you are where you are supposed to be, things happen. Is it easy? No! But it is worth it. For the first time in my life I am doing something I totally believe in. I can’t help but share with the world. If it takes one person at time to get healthy then so be it. I am in it for the long haul. I also love the new community we are in. I have realized you can’t do anything on your own. You can’t lose weight and keep it off. You can’t be successful on your own. Doing things on your own is lonely. We have also decided that we were going to stop hanging out with negative people, because you become the five people you hang out with. Life is short and I don’t want to live it being lonely, miserable and
depressed. Life for me is about being successful and having fun along the way. I am at a place in my life where I have learned to dream. I never knew how to dream before two years ago. I was just going on with life just getting by. Now, we have a dream board and goals and how we are going to get there is being around like-minded people and praying like it depends on God but doing the work like it depends on us. So stop moping and get around some people that are positive! Get around people that will challenge you to be a better you. Don’t be offended with someone trying to help you if they are doing it in a positive way. Sometimes God puts people in your life that you don’t even know to get you where He wants you to be. Think about that!
Jalapeno Popper Mushrooms INGREDIENTS:

Well, if you don’t know the answer to this question, the next time you are driving out through the countryside and see men cutting hay, plowing corn or beans, or see a herd of cattle grazing – consider stopping and asking the fam- Bill Crider ily living there the question posed above. Tell them you heard one of our presidential candidates make that statement on TV. See what kind of reaction you get! Truth is, many folks from our generation (late 30’s to the 60’s) grew up on a farm or had ties to farming in some way. We all know that our fruit, vegetables, grains (cereal, meal and flour) all are products of the
farm. What about the milk, butter and such? Where did it those eggs and that bacon come from you ate for breakfast? Sounds like the question at hand came from a ‘city slicer’ who had never spent a week with grandparents in the summer as a kid! It reminds me of the ‘city cousin’ visiting his ‘country cousin’. They were playing hide and seek; suddenly the city cousin came running from behind the barn and said, “I just found a cow’s nest”! When the country cousin saw what he was referring to, he ‘ah, that ain’t no cow nest, that’s where Mama piles the Pet Milk cans when she empties them.’ We’ve all seen the cot-
UPWARD LOOK
A Strong and Fortified City “In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.” Isaiah 26:1 NIV Isaiah’s words encouraged the people of Judah during the dark time while their enemies laid siege to the land. God would provide a bright future of triumph and safety through a strong Max Hutto and fortified city. God’s people would sing this song of praise and trust in God both during the dark time and during the future victory celebration.
Though our world seems overwhelmingly dark and filled with turmoil, trials, and troubles, there is light and deliverance through Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord. Lord Jesus, I lift my voice in a song of praise to You, my God. In the midst of trouble, You are my fortified stronghold, my refuge, my strength, and my salvation.

ton, corn and soy bean farms. Now in NE LA sweet potato farming is big! In S LA, rice and sugar cane are money crops. Chicken-farming is still big throughout the South. And in our back yards, who doesn’t have a few tomato and pepper plants? Maybe some onions and herbs? You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy – Will Rogers, I believe! Jesus was a carpenter’s son, but he knew a lot about the way farmers thought and reasoned. That’s why many of his parables dealt with farm-related situations, so they could better understand Him. Most of the prophets in the Old Testament were from rural backgrounds. David was a shepherd. Moses also tended his father-inlaws’ sheep for some
40 years. Abraham and Jacob had large herd of livestock. Amos tended to sycamore trees (fruit from them). God promised Adam that ‘man would till the soil and earn his living by the sweat of his brow,’ mainly farming. And so through history, society has depended heavily on the results of good farming measures. And we still do today! My daddy was a share-cropper, never owning any land of his own. A share-cropper rents from the land lord acreage to farm under these terms: First, 1/4 of the profit goes to the land lord; then, 1/2 (or more) to pay for the cost of farming -seed, plowing, fertilizing, harvesting, etc. 1/4 or less – is the payoff after the crops are gathered. For a family of 10, things were pretty tight sometimes. One

year I remember that we made only 3 bales of cotton and 2 wagons of corn ‘nubbins’ (as my daddy would describe it). Mama and Grandma used a lot of ‘stretch-it’ in cooking, adding a little water, a little more and then still a little extra. But we were happy, healthy souls. No, not everyone can be a farmer! It is a soulthing I think. Out of the 7 Crider children, only one stayed on the farm and fought the annual wars of ‘too much rain in the spring, no rain in the summer, bad cotton prices, poor hay crops, and such.’ This, my friend, takes a lot of praying and giant-size measures of faith. When lean years come on the heels of other lean years, when crops fail to make as hoped – often times the farmer begins to lose control of the farm. He loses his
equipment, the bank squeezes for the loan repayment, a hospital bill here and there – it all begins to close in on the farmer and many have lost their farms through foreclosure. They may be forced to move from the land and seek other kinds of work. And we lose dedicated, committed farmers who love Mother Earth and tilling her soil and seeing God bringing forth harvest so people far and near can reap the benefits of a ‘successful farmer.’ I think our politician (who made the statement above) really had no idea of what he was talking about! We surely would not want him to be in charge of our farm – my opinion. Bill Crider is Chaplain of Minden Medical Center

panthers advance to quarterfinals JJ Marshall
jjmarshall@press-herald.com Doyline is back to the quarterfinals of the Class-B state tournament after a home victory over Mt. Hermon, 83-67 on Tuesday night in Doyline. “I didn’t feel we played very well as a team,” Doyline coach Michael Normand said. “Probably because we’ve only played one game in over two weeks.” The Panthers earned a first-round bye, and the game against Mt. Hermon was their first of the playoffs. Jamaria Clark led Doyline with 25 points and ten assists. “Jamaria’s shot was definitely falling tonight,” Normand said. Javeon Nelson dominated in the paint with 16 points and seven rebounds for the Panthers.
Decari Markray was a force as well, putting up 14 points and 15 rebounds in the win. Senior point guard Jordan Fuller controlled the game with 11 points, four rebounds, and stood out defensively with four steals. The Panthers move on to face #23 Stanley on Friday at Doyline at 6:30 p.m. “The gym will definitely be at capacity as Stanley always travels well,” Normand said. “Hopefully our fans take that as a challenge to arrive early for good seats.” Stanley has pulled off two huge upsets so far, first with a 56-45 first-round victory over #10 Singer before knocking off #7 Monterey with a 43-41 win on Tuesday night. Doyline beat Stanley 6455 on Dec. 9, 2019 in Stanley. The Panthers have not lost since Nov. 14, 2019.
