Minden man arrested for stealing Children’s Center van STAFF REPORT Minden Press-Herald

A Minden man is behind bars after he allegedly stole a van and other items from the Children’s Center on Broadway.

Johnathan Travis Joiner, (age), was arrested by Minden Police for allegedly burglarJOINER izing the establishment.

On June 28, the Minden Police Department took a complaint from The Children’s Center. Upon further investigation, they found that the “Children’s Center had been burglarized and their 15-passenger van also was reported stolen. The keys to the passenger van were located inside the Children’s Center and taken during the burglary,” said Minden Police Chief Cropper.

It was also stated that some electronics were allegedly stolen by Join-

The Downtown Development Commission and Minden Main Street Board of Directors met on Tuesday evening at Minden City Hall to discuss preparations for a Steak CookOff scheduled for Sept. 13 as well as other events that have taken place or will take place along Main Street.

The Steak Cook-Off will be a sanctioned event, according to Minden Main Street Chairman Thomas Adams.“We’re hoping to have 35-40 teams for the Cook-Off,”he said. As of now, the event is planned to be located along Pearl Street in Downtown Minden.

Joiner admitted to entering the Children’s Center and taking the keys to the passenger van but denied stealing the van itself.

The Children’s Center is equipped with video surveillance that captured images of Joiner. “The surveillance system was viewed by detectives, and they were able to make a positive ID on the suspect,” said Cropper.

The 15-passenger van was later located at an abandoned home within a twoblock distance from the suspect’s residence, according to a police report.

As far as upcoming events, the board discussed the fact that they are going to assist with the Vintage Car Club Show & Shine and Bike Show, as well as what they are planning to add to the Christmas Festival this year.

Magician David LeBoeuf visited the Webster Parish Library Wednesday morning in order to perform a magic show for the children and parents who attended. The show lasted about an hour and for nearly every trick, he always made sure to involve a volunteer to help him.

The performance included a variety of tricks, including cards tricks, close up magic, illusion, sleight of hand, and he even threw in a bit of comedy as well.

LeBoeuf is from Houma,

Louisiana and performs magic shows for a variety of places and audiences all around Louisiana.

“I do a lot of children’s shows, sometimes comedy clubs, and I do libraries a lot,” he said.

His performances strike a balance of being both educational and entertaining. “No matter where I go or what I do, there are three types of tricks I can do. I can do a trick that delivers the library’s message, the importance of reading, I can also do tricks that deliver a positive message, like the importance of doing chores, and the last is just a fun trick.

the fun stuff, it just makes the show a bit smoother. It’s the glue that binds it all together,” said LeBoeuf.

Aptly enough, the beginnings of his passion for magic began at his very own local library.

“I was about 8, and my dad, though he wasn’t a magician, he is the one that affected me with this ‘illness,’” said LeBoeuf.

He then goes on to talk about a game he and other children played when they were younger, where one person would hold a coin in their hand, and

ACCIDENT

Alabama truck driver charged in fatal Louisiana wreck BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A truck driver from Alabama has been charged with negligent homicide in a Louisiana wreck that killed a motorcyclist.

News outlets report 61-year-old Howard Lyons was arrested after the Tuesday crash, which authorities say was witnessed by Baton Rouge officers already on scene responding to another crash. Baton Rouge police say Lyons was driving a semitruck through the city

when he rear-ended motorcyclist Ryan Carter, who fell off his bike and was run over.

An arrest report says police witnessed Carter yell something at Lyons before he was repeatedly rear-ended by Lyon’s truck. It says an officer yelled for Lyons to pull over and Lyons instead hit the motorcycle again, throwing Carter to the ground where he was run over by every tire on the passenger side of the truck.

someone else would try and snatch it, the goal being to close your hand before they can get it. “So my dad and I were trying this and he swiped for the nickel. I didn’t know if he had the nickel or I had the nickel. I opened my hand and the nickel was not there. And then he opened his hand, and the nickel wasn’t there either. He milked it for all it’s worth, and brought up his other hand and there was the nickel. I was blown away.

I asked him how he did that and he said I’m not telling you, it’s a magic trick. So then I went to the library and started getting books about magic.”

The Webster Parish Library has other events and activities for various age groups scheduled in the future.

That doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Over the past few years, Minden has seen a groundswell of those wanting to see sustained growth and improvement of the community. We also have a batch of capable, energized, and passionate young men and women stepping up to start businesses, volunteer in the community, and make things happen. We need to foster and encourage them.

To those that want Minden to stay the same, I am afraid that simply isn’t possible. As many similarly sized communities have learned, those that don’t change for the better, wither away. The Minden of today must partner with the Minden of tomorrow, and work each day to become the best version of itself. Every decision made by those in election positions and paid staff, to the community at large needs to meet “Is it best for Minden?” criteria.

Regardless of faction or clique, we must unite behind the idea of growth and improvement. Then, and only then, will positive change take place.

This is a long-term commitment, but it must start now. The choice is ours.

paign becomes a conversation about reparations for slavery and the bussing of white kids from the suburbs into inner-city schools to achieve greater integration, the Democrats will be in a world of hurt.

On border security, indispensable to Trump in 2016, Democrats in the debates came out for ending criminal detention of people invading our country and for providing free health care for migrants who successfully break into the USA. Detesting ICE as they do, and supporting sanctuary cities, left-wing Democrats routinely describe the Border Patrol as neo-fascists who run “concentration camps” where migrant children are forced to drink toilet water. The Democrats are becoming an open borders party.

What is their solution to the hundreds of thousands of migrants who annually arrive at our borders? Foreign aid. They

want to create a Marshall Plan for Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador so refugees will stay home rather than come to the USA for the health care Democrats will provide at taxpayer expense.

Among other ideas advocated by leading Democratic candidates: Free college for all, cancellation of all student loan debt, Medicare for All, an end to private health insurance and the companies that provide it, the abolition of the Electoral College, expansion of the Supreme Court to 15 justices, the abolition of ICE, a phase-out all fossil fuels for a carbon neutral country, and repeal of all Trump tax cuts.

What is causing the moderate Democrats to adopt what they used to regard as radical positions? The party base, which votes in primaries and is further left than it has ever been.

Also pulling the party left-

ward is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her sisters in Congress who receive extensive and indulgent media coverage and have a powerful following among millennials.

What the Democratic Party is risking today — and what many of its leaders recognize — is that it will be pulled so far outside the mainstream of American politics in the nomination battle, that its nominee will not be able to make it back close enough to the center to win.

If the Democratic Party, as its alternative to Trump, decides to run on this radical new agenda, America will punish that hubris with a second term for Trump.

The summer heat is upon us and it seems to only be getting worse. Don’t get me wrong, I can handle the heat faster than I can handle the cold. Winters in Maine are brutal.

A wind chill factor of 70 degrees below zero is not fun. At least in the heat you can get out of it TINA and we have SPECHT air conditioners to keep us cool.

I don’t know how people did it back in the day before air conditioners, And the women wore long dresses.

I have to breathe! So light clothing with modest dressing is a must. I do see some still going without air conditioning in their homes and I don’t know how they do it. I have to be cool to sleep for sure, with the air conditioner turned down and a fan blowing on me. A foot out of the covers is a must. I also say I must be like a dog. I need cool air to be content.

One of my favorite places to

be in this kind of weather is the beach. I really think I need to take my business to one and work from there. With the business I have now, I can work from anywhere — well, at least one of my businesses.

There is something so peaceful and surreal to have coffee on the porch of a beach house first thing in the morning. After that, you have some breakfast and get ready and get you one of those “short chairs” and sit just at the water. I like to sit where your feet get wet but not the rest of you — unless you want it to.

I could sit out there all day just listening to the waves and people watch. Some things are great and some things you just can’t unsee. When it comes to being at the beach, I guess you can say I could be a beach bum.

Most people say I would get tired of it but I sure would like to give it a try and see.

I know being a beach bum wouldn’t be fun for my honey.

He likes to be at the beach house and maybe sit on the deck but he does not like going on the beach!

So when we go, I find someone to go with us so we can hang.

My boys and I are always hop-

ing for some rough waves. We love to get into an inner tube and ride them. We had some a couple of years ago that were so fun.

Although it was not fun for the honey. He wouldn’t stay down to watch us because he, “not going to watch us get hurt.” No one got hurt, just lots of fun.

This summer is a busy one for us. We have been traveling a lot and still have a few business trips to take. And in August, our first grandson with arrive!! That makes the summer worth doing.

Whatever you are doing this summer, do it in style. Have fun and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Better Living Through Humor “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”

Proverbs 15:13 NIV

W

e all know that laughter lightens a heavy heart, and sometimes when the world has us down, we just need to laugh instead of cry. The switch that flips us from crying to laughing demonstrates that things can always be taken in more than one way.

One way of looking at the situation is tragic and makes us cry while another way is comic and makes us laugh. It isn’t always possible, or wise, to turn tragedy into comedy. Trying to offer comic relief at a funeral may be inappropriate, although many eulogies contain some humor.

Those of us who love a good joke or a funny turn of phrase probably won’t mind if there is some laughing at our funerals. In fact, we might insist on it. While there aren’t a lot of jokes in the Bible, there are lots of examples of humorous situations, or funny turns of phrase. One of the first instances of laughter in the Bible occurs when Abraham and Sarah (who is ninety years old) are told that Sarah will bear a child. They both laugh, but when their child is born, they name him Isaac, which means “he will laugh” in Hebrew. Many of the Proverbs contain witty turns of phrase: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.” (Proverbs 26:11 NIV) And many of the Proverbs are straightforward prescriptions to lighten up: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22 NIV) Make an effort to smile and laugh more, and if you’re feeling down, do something that will make you laugh.

INSPIRATION

Living on the Edges and Margins of Life The speeding, reckless driver, the dare-devil walking a tightrope, the wayward youth breaking all ties with his family to chase his dreams – these are just some examples of folks living on the edges of life, testing the margins to see how far the limits can be stretched. It reminds me of the pie-maker who continues to roll the pie crust thinner and thinner until it falls apart. There will always be folks testing life to see how far they can venture beyond the accepted lim- Bill Crider its. Christians are guilty of this also, testing God’s patience.

Great men of God in Old Testament days lived on the edge of life much of the time. Abraham could not quite trust God enough to ‘treat Sarah as his wife’ instead of claiming her as his sister.’ This got him into trouble several times. But he did take his son, Isaac, upon the mountain as God directed preparing to sacrifice him on the altar. He

was willing to follow God’s command, putting him on the edge of life where no one had ever ventured to go. When God saw Abraham’s willingness to live near the edge of life and follow Him, God provided a ram in the bushes for the sacrifice.

Moses let his anger get the best of him when he struck the rock, demanding water from it. He stepped beyond the limits God had placed for him in the desert. And we see Moses ‘tight-roping’ life for some forty years as he dealt with the everyday issues of those millions of ‘nomads’. Headaches, heartaches, and painful decisions were always on his daily menu. It was enough to drive anyone beyond the accepted limits! This was God’s testing time for everyone. Not only Moses, but the Children of Israel were constantly pushing the limits and causing great stress for Moses. We would have “lost our ‘religion’ from time to time, too!” Just once Moses got too close to the margins of life and it cost him the privilege of settling in the Promised Land.

Only Joshua and Caleb, from the

original group, passed the test and ‘tasted the land of milk and honey promised them.’

David flirted with the “God-given” moral limits when he overstepped boundaries and seduced Bathsheba. And he paid dearly. But out of this all came the rich prayer of contrition and confession found in Psalms 51, which has ministered to countless men and women though the years who foolishly broke through the barriers God established. David seemed to have hind’s feet as he tip-toed through life, especially when he was on the run from Saul.

He lived on the very edge of life, sometimes sensing he would not make it through another challenge alive. Haven’t we had those times as well? Only with the Lord’s help, David made his journey through life slipping and sliding with the strong arm of the Lord providing him security and strength. For us, without the constant presence of the Lord, His rich promises to never leave us, we would wander way beyond the ‘limits of life’ He has set for us.

On the other hand, Jesus was

Jesus Is . . .

one who pushed His followers up to the limits, moving them beyond the Law – “not to destroy it but to fulfill it.” But He never tempted man to go beyond limits God mapped out for him.

When He called his disciples, it was a call to ‘walk the narrow road, to live on the margins of life but to entrust their total being to Him and follow His commands.’ Often they questioned him, balked at some teachings and even denied Him when He needed them the most. But Jesus knew this was all part of the Master Plan designed before the beginning. God promised that “He would watch over Israel and would neither sleep nor slumbered.” That meant, don’t be afraid of walking near the cliffs of life, near the edge of dangers, nor attempting the impossible tasks (as seen by men); just followed His commands. If He sends, He will provide the way!

Paul admonished his readers to ‘stand firm, run the last miles with all their might, never give up in this battle for truth and right.’

Stand firm on the firing line, be brave, be true to the cause - even when we feel we are standing on dangerous ground, for with

Christ as our source of strength, His mighty hand can securely hold us and gently lead us away from the edges of danger back into the safety zone of His tender care. We battle many issues of life and sometimes feel we might be living too close to the edges. We might wonder if God is aware of where He has planted us! But we know, we can’t just sit still and wait for Jesus to come back! There is much to do. “Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, weep over the erring one, lift up the fallen! Tell them of Jesus, the Mighty to save!”

Let’s join Paul and fight to the very end! Let’s run fast to the last finish line! Let’s fight with all our strength and might until the final bell sounds! The crown and trophy awaits us there. The Great Master is watching from His exalted position and is among the crowd calling our name and urging us on. So, If you are on the edges of life, ask the Lord to gently ease you back into His presence and show you where the limits, beyond which you must not venture.

HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — After going more than 1½ years without playing each other anywhere, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will be meeting at a second consecutive Grand Slam tournament when they face off in Wimbledon’s semifinals.

Last month, Nadal got his shot at Federer on red clay, winning their windwhipped French Open semifinal in straight sets on the way to a 12th title there.

“We had some brutal conditions to play (in) there. But it was a joy to play against Rafa there, on his court,” Federer said.

“And, of course, I’d love to play against him here at Wimbledon.”

On Friday, Federer gets his shot at Nadal on grass and hopes to prolong his pursuit of a ninth championship at the All England Club.

“Means a lot for me,” Nadal said, “and probably for him, too.”

This is their 40th showdown on tour; Nadal leads 25-14. It’s their 14th match at a major; Nadal leads 10-3. And it’s the fourth time they’ll play at Centre Court; Federer leads 2-1.

But Nadal did win the last one, edging Federer 9-7 in the fifth set of the 2008 final — considered by many the greatest match in tennis’ lengthy history — as daylight dwindled to nothing.

That would never again be an issue, because a retractable roof and artificial lights have been in place at the tournament’s main stadium since the following year. Another movable cover was added to No. 1 Court this year.

What hasn’t changed?

Federer and Nadal are still at the top of the game.

If it’s hard to believe more than a decade has passed since these two rivals last shared a court at Wimbledon, it’s also tough to fathom how it is that they have dominated their sport as long as they have. Federer ranks first among men with 20 career Grand Slam titles.

Nadal is next with 18. Add in the third-place count of 15 trophies belonging to Novak Djokovic, who is seeded No. 1 and plays No. 23 Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain in Friday’s other semifinal, and this terrific trio has won 53 of the last 64 major championships.

That includes 14 of the last 16 at Wimbledon.

Also: 10 in a row everywhere over the past 2½ seasons.

Football Camp

FEDERER Djokovic is seeking his fifth trophy, and second straight, at the All England Club, while Bautista Agut is making his Grand Slam semifinal debut.

Djokovic leads 7-3 headto-head, but Bautista Agut won their two matchups this season, both on hard courts.

“Going to try to use my experience in being in these kind of matches, get myself tactically prepared,” Djokovic said.

“Hopefully I can execute everything I intend to do.”

Although Federer turns 38 on Aug. 8, Nadal is 33 and Djokovic 32, they aren’t showing signs of letting up.

“We still (feel) that we have chances to compete for the most important things,” Nadal said.

“That’s what really make us keep playing with this intensity.”

Not to mention keep working on aspects of their game.

Federer, for example, switched to a larger racket and began using a flatter backhand more frequently instead of a slice. Nadal has worked on his serving and that’s helped him once again be a contender on grass.

He reached the final during five consecutive Wimbledon appearances from 2006-11, winning twice, but hasn’t been that far since, including a series of exits against opponents ranked 100th or worse.

Last year, he was beaten in five sets by Djokovic in the semifinals.

“Haven’t played each other in a long, long time on this surface. He’s serving way different. I remember back in the day, how he used to serve. And now, how much bigger he’s serving, how much faster he finishes points,” Federer said. “It’s going to be tough. Rafa really can hurt anybody on any surface. I mean, he’s that good. He’s not just a clay-court specialist, we know.”

Grambling State University, along with the department of athletics, will hold a special ceremony Friday.

Grambling honoring Doug Williams Street to be named after quarterback, coach

STAFF REPORT Minden Press-Herald

Grambling State University, along with the department of athletics, will hold a special ceremony at 3 p.m. on Friday, July 12 to honor former GSU quarterback Doug Williams.

Grambling State will hold a street naming ceremony in honor of Williams and will take place on the corner of Facilities and Stadium Drive in Grambling, La. Williams, who was a two-time recipient of the Black College Player of the Year Award, attended Grambling State and played for legendary head coach Eddie Robinson. He guided the Tigers to a 36-7 record as a four-year starter at quarterback and led Grambling State to three Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championships.

In 1977, Williams led the NCAA in several categories, including total yards from scrimmage (3,249), passing yards (3,286), touchdown passes (38), and yards per play (8.6).

He finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting, behind Earl Campbell, Terry Miller and Ken MacAfee.

Williams graduated from

Grambling State with a bachelor’s degree in education, and began working on his master’s degree before the 1978 NFL Draft.

Despite the success that he enjoyed on the football field, then-Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Joe Gibbs was the only NFL coach that visited Williams. Gibbs spent two days with Williams, reviewing play books, film and going through passing drills. Gibbs rated Williams as the best quarterback in the draft and the Buccaneers selected the 6-foot4 quarterback in the first round (17th overall) in the 1978 NFL Draft. With that selection, Williams became the first African-American quarterback taken in the first round of an NFL Draft.

Williams, who threw for 16,998 yards in his professional career, played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1978-1982), Oklahoma/Arizona Outlaws of the USFL (1984-1985) and the Washington Redskins (1986-1989).

During the 1986 season, Williams reunited with Gibbs in Washington and initially served as a backup to Jay Schroeder. However, an injury to Schroeder moved Williams into the starting spot. Williams,

who went 42-45-1 overall, passed for 100 touchdowns and rushed for 15 touchdowns in 88 games, helped guide the Redskins to the Super Bowl XXII as Washington routed the Denver Broncos. In addition to winning a Super Bowl, Williams became the first black quarterback to play in the big game. In the Super Bowl, Williams completed 18 of 29 passes for 340 yards, with four touchdowns, as he earned Super MVP honors.

After a career with the Redskins, Williams worked as an executive with Tampa Bay (2004-2010), Virginia Destroyers (2010-11) and Washington Redskins (2014-present). He had a few stops as a head coach, first at Morehouse where he went 3-8 during the 1997. Williams returned to his alma mater, guiding the Tigers to an overall mark of 61-34 and a 36-23 SWAC record from 1998-2003 and 2011-2013. His 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2011 teams were SWAC West Division Champions. In addition, his team’s won the SWAC Championship three times (2000, 2001 and 2011) and Black College Football National Championship two times (2000 and 2001).

This is a FREE Football Camp for kids ages 6-11.

It will be directed by the coaches from MHS and LHS. This is a non-aggressive football event to let the kids learn about how to play football and fall in love with the sport. There will also be FREE food and drinks.

The whole purpose of this event is to encourage kids to sign up for the REC Football League and to play this upcoming season. You do NOT have to sign up for this Football Camp. It is 100% FREE. You CAN sign up for The REC Football league TODAY or you can sign up at the Football Camp on August 3rd at the Minden REC. We want to see our community grow together and see sports flourish there again. We hope to see you there!

Alex Morgan, US women’s soccer team honored at The ESPYS LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. women’s national soccer team celebrated its Women’s World Cup victory on both coasts Wednesday, honored with a ticker tape parade in New York City before jetting to the West Coast and collecting trophies at The ESPYS. Alex Morgan won female athlete of the year and shared the best team award with her soccer mates.

“Sorry, but this is probably the second-best trophy we won this week,” Morgan said jokingly, hoisting her individual trophy.

As she got up from the front row, Megan Rapinoe’s black tuxedo jacket opened and exposed part of her left breast, which was caught by cameras showing the inhouse feed of the show. An ABC spokesperson said the show would be further edited for the Mountain and Western time zones.

“I’ve dropped the F-bomb on every stage I’ve been on for the last three days, so we’ll just spare you that,” Rapinoe told the audience.

Jim Bouton, former pitcher, “Ball Four” author, dies at 80

COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL

COURTESY PHOTOS

Right-side hitter Elena Takova (left) and Laura Ehieze (right) have joined the Louisiana Tech Volleyball team.

Tech adds two to volleyball roster RUSTON, La. – On Wednesday afternoon, Louisiana Tech head volleyball coach Amber McCray announced the addition of two student-athletes to the 2019 roster – both eligible for play this season.

“We are thrilled to announce our first recruiting class here at Louisiana Tech,” McCray remarked.

“Both incoming student-athletes will be solid additions to a seasoned roster that we truly believe can make significant strides in the 2019 season.”

Right-side hitter Elena Takova joins the program

as a junior transfer from Hutchinson Community College, while freshman Laura Ehieze comes to Ruston via Houston, Texas, at Cinco Ranch High School.

Takova, a native of Sofia, Bulgaria, spent the 2018 season at Hutchinson where she saw action in 35 matches and averaged 2.90 kills per set. The 6’0” junior played volleyball throughout the entirety of her high school career, and led her squad to one of the top three teams in all of Bulgaria.

“Elena has already competed against top compe-

tition at the JUCO level,” McCray said. “We are so excited about her experience and success on various levels as well as the diversity she brings to our offense as a lefty opposite hitter.”

Ehieze joins the Lady Techsters after a stellar high school career that saw her letter in both volleyball (three years) and basketball (one year) at Cinco Ranch High. The 5’-11” freshman was named second team all-district and academic all-district for the Cougars.

She ranked top six in her district in both hit-

ting percentage and total blocks. Ehieze helped lead the Cougars to the regional semifinals her senior season – the only team in their district to accomplish that feat. She helped propel the program to a final ranking of third in district in 2018.

“Laura brings a level of athleticism to our gym that could make a major contribution to our team and instantly allows us to be more physical in the middle, both offensively and defensively,” added McCray.

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (AP) — Jim Bouton, the former New York Yankees pitcher who shocked and angered the conservative baseball world with the tell-all book “Ball Four,” has died. He was 80.

Bouton’s family said he died Wednesday at the Great Barrington home he shared with wife Paula Kurman. He fought a brain disease linked to dementia and was in hospice care.

Bouton also had two strokes in 2012.

Published in 1970, “Ball Four” detailed Yankees great Mickey Mantle’s carousing, and the use of stimulants in the major leagues.

Bouton’s revealing look at baseball off the field made for eye-opening and entertaining reading, but he paid a big price for the best-seller when former teammates and players and executives across baseball ostracized him for exposing their secrets. He wasn’t invited to the Yankees’ Old-Timers’ Day until 1998 Throwing so hard that his cap often flew off his head, Bouton was 21-8 with six shutouts in 1963 — his second season in the majors and his only year as an AllStar — and went 18-13 with four more shutouts in 1964.

The Yankees lost the World Series both years, with Bouton losing his lone start in 1963 in New York’s loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and winning twice the fol-

lowing year in the Yankees’ loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Bouton injured his right arm in 1965, going 4-15 that season, and saw limited action the next three seasons with New York. He worked on “Ball Four” in 1969, a season spent with the expansion Seattle Pilots and Houston Astros, his fastball replaced by a knuckleball as he tried to prolong his career.

Nicknamed Bulldog, Bouton also pitched for Houston in 1970. He returned to the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1978, going 1-3 at age 39. He finished his 10year career with a 62-63 record and 3.57 ERA. Bouton was a television sportscaster in New York City with WABC and WCBS, wrote other books, appeared in the 1973 movie “The Long Goodbye” and starred in a 1976 CBS sitcom based on “Ball Four” that lasted only five episodes. He and a former teammate developed Big League Chew, a bubble gum alternative to tobacco.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Bouton was raised in New Jersey and the Chicago area. He pitched at Western Michigan University before signing with the Yankees in 1958. He made it to the majors in 1962, going 7-7, but didn’t appear in the Yankees’ World Series victory over the San Francisco Giants.

However, those certain trade fixtures, machinery and equipment installed by Lessee solely for use in his business will remain the property of Lessee; such trade fixtures, machinery and equipment installed by Lessee must be removed at the expiration of the Lease, provided the Lease is not in default, and provided the Leased Premises are returned to the same condition as when let, ordinary wear and tear, Act of God or other casualties and improvements approved by Lessor or otherwise permitted hereby excepted; in the event Lessee fails to remove any such fixtures, machinery or equip-

ment installed by it, Lessor may at its option and at Lessee’s expense demolish, remove and dispose of all such items or may retain as property of Lessor without reimbursement to Lessee. Lessee undertakes that no lien, privilege, or claim of any kind will rest against the Leased Premises from any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, or from the construction of any building or buildings. No consent of Lessor for Lessee to make improvements or repairs to the Leased Premises is deemed to permit Lessor’s interest to become subject to labor or material liens.

The Lessee shall perform the following; (1) Paint the outside of the building within the first year of the lease with a color approved by the City; (2) Rehabilitate, maintain the structure (with the exception of the roof/shingles); (3) Maintain the yard around the perimeter of the building up to eight (8) feet; (4) Cannot keep any, vehicles trailers, or floats or storage builds on the premises; (5) Be responsible for any problems with infrastructure within and outside the building.

SECTION VI DELIVERY AT EXPIRATION OF LEASE At the expiration of this Lease, in addition to Lessee’s obligations set forth in Section V, Lessee will redeliver to Lessor the Leased Premises in good order and condition clear of all goods and broom cleaned and will make good all damages to the Leased Premises, usual wear and tear damage by the elements excepted, and will remain liable for holdover rent until the Leased Premises with keys are returned in such order to Lessor.

No demand or notice of such delivery is necessary, Lessee expressly waiving all notices and legal delays.

responsible only to maintain the roof, foundations, and outside walls (but not painting) and all supporting structural members (not including doors). Where contractors’ or manufacturers’ warranties are applicable and Lessee advises Lessor in writing of the need for such repair, Lessor, at its option, will enforce such warranties for Lessee’s benefit or assign such warranties to Lessee for Lessee to enforce. However, Lessor is not obliged to make any repair unless it is notified in writing by Lessee of the need of such repair and has had a reasonable period of time to make such repair, and is not liable to make any repair occasioned

by Lessee’s acts within the Leased Premises.

Lessor is not liable for any damage or loss in consequence of defects in the Leased Premises causing leaks, stoppage of water, sewer or drains or any other defects about the building and premises, unless it has failed to repair defects for which it is responsible within a reasonable time following written demand of Lessee to do so.

It is specifically acknowledged that safety and replacement of the plate glass is Lessee’s responsibility, as well as keeping pipes from freezing in the winter.

Lessee must immediately repair any damages caused by Lessee that threaten or weaken the structure or detract from the appearance of the Leased Premises.

Lessee must also maintain a high degree of neatness and cleanliness. If Lessee does not correct the damages and/or clean the Leased Premises within 15 days of written notification

by Lessor, Lessor may proceed with repairs and/or clean-up at Lessee’s expense.

Lessee agrees not to store merchandise or leave trash outside the Leased Premises.

All trash shall be kept in containers.

Should Lessee be in default in the requirements of this provision, Lessor may, after notice to Lessee, remedy such default at Lessee’s expense.

SECTION XIII FIRE AND CASUALTY CLAUSE In case the Leased Premises are so damaged by fire or other cause as to be rendered untenable and necessary repairs

cannot be made within 180 days, this Lease will terminate as of the time the Leased Premises were rendered untenable.

However, if the damage is such that repairs can be completed within 180 days, Lessor agrees to make such repairs promptly, and to allow Lessee an abatement in Rent for such time as the Leased Premises remain untenable. If the loss occurs in the last 18 months of the original term or extension thereof, either party may terminate this Lease. In the event of partial loss, the Rent will be abated by that proportion of the Leased Premises rendered unfit for use.

SECTION XIV INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY A. Liability and Property Damage: Lessee must at all times during the full term of this Lease and during the full term of any extensions, holdovers or other rental agreements, carry and maintain at its own cost and expense General Public Liability Insurance against claims for personal injury or death and property damage occurring on the Leased Premises, and shall be in the same amount as the policy attached hereto and identified as Exhibit “A”.

Lessee shall deliver to Lessor evidence of insurance and all renewals thereof. The policies required by this section will name Lessor as an additional insured.

B. Fire and Extended Coverage: Lessor must, at all times during the full term of this Lease and all extensions thereof, keep all improvements (other than those removable installations which by the terms of this Lease Lessee would be permitted to remove at expiration of this

Lease) in and on the Leased Premises insured to 100% of the full replacement value thereof against loss by fire and extended coverage (including loss of rent insurance) and maintain insurance at all times as specified.

C. P l a c e ment of Insurance: All of the aforementioned policies of insurance must be written and maintained in responsible insurance companies duly authorized and licensed to do business in and to issue policies in Louisiana. The policies providing for the protection required in subparagraph A may remain in the possession of Lessee, provided, however, that Lessee furnish satisfactory evidence to Lessor that such policy or policies fulfill the requirements of this subparagraph.

D. Vo i d i n g Insurance: Lessee will not permit the Leased Premises to be used for any purpose which would render the insurance thereon void.

E. Indemnity: Lessee will forever indemnify and save harmless Lessor from and against any and all liability, penalties, expense, cause of action, suits, claims or judgments for death, injury, or damages to persons or property during the term of this Lease while on or arising out of the use, occupation, management or control of the Leased Premises, adjacent property, streets and sidewalks, or any act of operation on any of it, or growing out of the demolition, construction, alteration or repair of any building in any case without regard to whether such death, damage or injury resulted from the negligence of Lessee or their respective agents or employees or otherwise and including without limitation such death, damage or injury as may have resulted from the sole or contributing negligence, act or omission of Lessor or their agents or employees or for which Lessor may have any liability without fault. Not-

withstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have no liability for any damages or claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, Lessor’s agents or employees.

Lessee’s liability under this subsection E shall be limited to the amount of Lessee’s insurance.

F. D a m ages and Injury: Lessee shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay all damages arising from any property damage, injury or death caused by or arising from any acts or omissions by Lessee or by Lessee’s employees, staff, agents, representatives, contractors, vendors, guests or invitees.

for the loss arising out of damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, or the building or improvements of which the Leased Premises are a part, when such loss is caused by any of the perils which are or could be included within or are insured against by a standard form of fire insurance with extended coverage, including sprinkler leakage insurance, if any. All claims for any and all loss, however caused, are hereby waived. The absence of liability exists whether or not the damage or destruction is caused by the negligence of either Lessor or Lessee or by any of their respective agents, servants or employees. It is the intention and agreement of Lessor and Lessee that the Rent reserved by this Lease has been fixed in contemplation that each party fully provides its own insurance protection at its own expense, and that each party looks to its respective insurance carriers for reimbursement of any loss, and further, that the insurance carriers involved are not entitled to subrogation under any circumstances against any party to this Lease.

Neither Lessor nor Lessee has any interest or claim in the other’s insurance policy or policies, or the proceeds, unless specifically covered therein as a joint assured.
