Minden Presbyterian promotes simple, effective message

75 CENTS

Gas prices continue to fall in Louisiana

MINDEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Special to the Press-Herald

PATRICK DE HAAN Gas Buddy

Early in 2020, the Minden Presbyterian Church launched an effort to spread more “kindness” throughout the community of Minden. A young member of the congregation of the church, Mary Evelyn King, designed a “Be Kind” yard sign, which would be reproduced and sold.

“The Session of the church decided that all money raised by the sales of the signs, along with stickers and license plates, would be returned to the community,” explained church pastor, Rev. Keith Mariott.

However, when the COVID virus struck and schools were released early, the church decided to use the money from the sale of “Be Kind” items to provide free lunches to those in need twice a week.

“After just a few weeks, we discovered that the lunch program was also gaining supporters and contributors,” said Bob Gray, church elder and coordinator of the lunch program.

“God is an awesome God, and our projects not only met, but also exceeded, our expectations!”

Louisiana gas prices have fallen 3.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $1.87/g today, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,436 stations.

Gas prices in Louisiana are 2.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 42.1 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

“Higher oil prices caused most states to see gas prices inch higher, with the national average rising ever so slightly in the last week, breaking its three week streak of declines. However, the rise is likely temporary as oil prices that had pushed higher gave up their gains last week and closed near the low-side of the range they’ve been in for quite some time,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Louisiana is priced at $1.62/g today while the most expensive is $2.89/g, a difference of $1.27/g. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 0.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.17/g today. The national average is down 6.4 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 47.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

“According to Pay with GasBuddy data, gasoline demand declined again last week, falling nearly 1% from the prior week, largely in line with expectations as we head into the first full week of fall. While the Atlantic is finally silent - likely temporary really the only upside we could see over the coming months would be borne out of hurricane season, or if a COVID-19 vaccine proves successful in pushing demand back closer to normal.”

GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades.

GasBuddy’s survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

Presbyterian Youth and leaders, Jason and Rebecca Thurman, show off “Be Kind” items that are for sale at the church on Broadway. Proceeds go to area charities.

The church was able to divide up the money raised by the sale of “Be Kind” items among several non-profits in the Minden community. The Northwest Louisiana Pregnancy Care Center, Joe LeBlanc Food Pantry, CASA, Webster Humane Association and the United Christian Assistance

Program (UCAP) were the first to receive $500 each from donations to the food program and the sale of “Be Kind” signs.

Another $500 will be donated to St. Jude’s during the 2021 Auction.

“We know that this is a time in history when even small donations are needed by non-prof-

its,” said Rev. Mariott. “And our church is a small one. But we made these gifts with big hearts and a big ‘Thank You’ for what these organizations do for our community! Thank you!”

WPSO finds 36 dogs, more animals inside mobile home

STAFF REPORT Minden Press-Herald

A deputy from the Sheriff’s Office was sent out to investigate the residence after someone called about hearing a child screaming from the front year. Once on scene, law enforcement came to the mobile trailer to find a hoarding situation of animals taking place.

There were 36 dogs, 7 turtles, 1 rabbit, 2 ferrets, 2 roosters, hamsters, and rats in the mobile home and on the property.

According to the sheriff’s office most of the dogs were chained up, and all of the animals needed medical attention, food, water, and lacked proper shelter.

“In my 28 years of law enforcement, I haven’t seen anything quite like this,” said Sheriff Jason Parker.

There were so many animals that WPSO didn’t even get them all during their first trip.

After the initial rescue, deputies later had to go back to the property to attain three more dogs. There was an adult man, woman, and a ten year old child living inside of a mobile trailer with all the aforementioned animals under these conditions. According to Sheriff Parker, there was a hole in the bottom of the trailer that the dogs used to freely get in and out. Conditions were so bad that the person that was

first sent in to check the residence had to wear full body protective gear and a breathing apparatus. Sheriff Parker also extended his gratitude to the Doyline Fire Department for their help during this call, offering some of their men to help search the property as well.

WPSO coordinated with LaMa Animal Rescue in Springhill in order to coordinate the medical attention the animals needed as well as starting the process to find homes for them as well.

“We assisted Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office in a hoarding/ abuse situation last night and this morning. We took in 11

They are spread out at several other rescues. We need help covering the medical expenses.

Several are sick and all of them will need regular vaccinations.

Second Front GOVERNMENT

Louisiana lawmakers temporarily avoid triggering higher business taxes; permanent fix unclear

DAVID JACOBS The Center Square

Louisiana officials on Friday temporarily avoided triggering the business tax increases and worker benefit cuts that could be needed to replenish the state’s shrinking unemployment insurance trust fund, though no one has yet proposed a permanent solution.

State law requires the Revenue Estimating Conference before Oct. 1 to project how much money will be available next year in the fund. That number determines how much businesses will be taxed to support the fund, how much unemployed workers will receive, and whether a worker training program will operate.

State House Speaker OBITUARIES

Clay Schexnayder and Senate President Page Cortez, two of the REC’s four members, declined to adopt an estimate at Friday’s meeting, buying a few more days to discuss other options when the Legislature convenes its special session Monday.

Another REC meeting is scheduled for Tuesday.

Record demand during the business restrictions imposed in an attempt to slow the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the fund to dwindle from more than $1 billion to less than $50 million. Officials expect the fund to be tapped out by Oct. 5.

The Louisiana Workforce Commission will borrow money from the federal government to pay legally required benefits through the end of

the year. The money initially will be interest-free but must be paid back.

The higher costs for businesses could come on two fronts. The amount of employee wages that are taxed, and the tax rate, rise when the projected balance falls. And when the fund balance falls below $100 million, employers by law must pay an additional “solvency tax.”

Edwards on Friday said he was amending his current COVID-19 emergency order to suspend the solvency tax statute, effectively pushing back when employers would have to start paying the tax from April to July. The hope is that the state’s economy would be further on the road to recovery by then.

But Cortez questioned

Virginia Stewart Fox

Funeral services celebrating the life of Virginia Stewart Fox will be held Friday, October 2, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at First Baptist Church in Minden, Louisiana with Rev. Leland Crawford officiating. Interment will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery in Minden, Louisiana. The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. Thursday, October 1, 2020 at First Baptist Church.

Virginia was born July 11, 1926 in Grove, Louisiana in the old Stewart home to James and Velma Stewart and was the second of five girls. She entered into rest September 27, 2020 in Minden, Louisiana. She was member of First Baptist Church where she taught second grade Sunday School for 42 years, sang in the Sanctuary Choir 50 years and in the Sr. Adult Voices of Praise Choir for 30 years. She served on most committees at church also. Virginia graduated at Tri-State School of nursing in 1947, trained in New Orleans at the U.S. Marine Hospital and was in the Army Cadet Nurses’ Core. She worked as head nurse at Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant Hospital for 32 years; she retired in 1991 and started traveling extensively to about 30 countries and did numerous mission trips in U. S. and abroad. She was Woman of the Year in 2004.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Velma Stewart; husband, William Fox; son, David Fox; granddaughter, Gena Tucker; sisters, Nora Lee Young, Gay Wren, and Sue Dunn.

She is survived by her daughter, Jenell Fox and spouse Joe Batres; sister, Nancy Craig; daughter-in-law, Liz Fox; grandchildren, Josh Tucker, Stephanie Fox, Sarah Batres, Joey Batres, and Becky Harrington; great-grandchildren, Asher, Harlow, Ty, Josey, Jema, and Jase, and numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and great great-nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved.

Edd W. McDowell Visitation for Edd W. McDowell will be Tuesday, September 29, 2020 from 5:00 until 8:00pm at Rose- Neath Funeral Home in Minden, Louisiana.

Edd was born October 14, 1951 in Minden, Louisiana and entered into rest September 25, 2020 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

He is survived by his wife, Jerry McDowell of Sibley; son Joe Haynes of Enterprise, MS; daughters, Jessica McDowell Hill (James) of Doyline and Debra Haynes Wilbee (Keith) of Prinston, MO; grandchildren, Jacob Hill, Kelly Boothe, Kinlee Boothe, Kristen Boothe, Trey Haynes, Wyatt Haynes, and Sydni Bates and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins Rose-Neath Funeral Home 211 Murrell Street Minden, Louisiana 71055 (318) 377-3412

whether Edwards has the authority to suspend the law.

“In effect, this executive order is asking you not to follow the law,” he told Ava Dejoie, who heads the Louisiana Workforce Commission.

Cortez considers figuring out a way to avoid putting new costs on businesses, many of which are struggling, the top priority for the 30-day special session that begins next week. Options could include using surplus dollars from a prior fiscal year or borrowing money through a bond issue to replenish the unemployment fund.

Also at Friday’s REC meeting, members discussed state government’s overall fiscal picture. Though the final

tally is not yet available, the state may have run a surplus of around $200 million during the fiscal year that ended June 30, but not because the economy grew, legislative economist Greg Albrecht said.

Tax and fee collections were down compared to the previous year but still overshot the conservative projections the REC adopted amid the COVID-19-related economic uncertainty. For example, casinos were shut down in March as part of the effort to control the spread of the new coronavirus.

The state economists, unaware of when the facilities would reopen, included no casino revenue in their projections for April, May and June.

However, casinos were allowed to reopen with capacity limitations, and the unanticipated revenue accounts for more than half of the difference between projections and collections, Albrecht said.

He also noted with surprise that alcohol taxes are up even though bars have been closed for much of the pandemic.

Apparently, people have been drinking more at home, he surmised.

Webster & More OBITUARIES

Helen Michael Hamilton

Helen Michael Hamilton passed away peacefully into the hands of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at Christus Highland Medical Center on September 24, 2020. She was living at home where her son, whom she loved with all her heart, took good care of her for several years. A visitation will be held at RoseNeath Funeral Home in Minden, LA on Thursday, October 1, 2020, from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. with a vigil service at 6:30 p.m. in the Rose-Neath funeral home chapel. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Paul's Catholic Church, on Friday, October 2, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. Officiating will be Father Karl Daigle.

Interment will follow at Gardens of Memory Cemetery, Minden, LA. Helen was born in Mansfield, LA on February 15, 1923 to Ellis Raymond Michael, Sr. and Almozia Lahood Michael. She grew up in a household that instilled in her the love of family. She would spend the rest of her able life, through her many family house visits, affirming that love.

She loved being a cheerleader for the Tide and took great pride in the fact the student body voted on her to be 1of the 6 members selected. She would always be sure to mention how she adored that time in her life and loved all of her cheer mates: Russell Adams, Ruby Jean Brantley, Marcus Wren, Carolyn Garland, and Roy Miller. Helen, having received the honor of best all- around senior girl, graduated from Minden High School in 1941. 18 years old with the world entrenched in war and America in fervent preparations she decided to begin her career in the Personnel Department at the Louisiana Ammunition Plant. She would later work for a brief time beginning in 1957 in the procurement office at Barksdale Air force Base. Her short stay at Barksdale left an indelible mark on her colleagues with one writing “Just thought you would like to know that all of us miss you very much and that it sure is quiet around the office since you quit, Gracie hasn’t hardly said anything to me or anyone since you left – guess she misses you too much.” After leaving Barksdale she went to work for L.L Greer where she would work until she retired. L.L. Greer was a family owned tax preparation business – a family that she adored. In her “retirement” she helped care for her grandchildren Karessa and Kyle waiting on them hand and foot with the type of love neither of them will forget. Even in her later years when she became a great grandmother (GG) she did all she was able in spoiling her precious Zoe.

Linda Darlene Woodall

Helen was a devout Catholic making sure to attend church on all the holy days until her health didn’t allow it. She was also active in cooking food for various fundraisers of the Lady’s Altar Society. She lived life to the fullest, she had one of the most loving and outgoing personalities.

From the opening clarinet of Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade she was up and dancing with or without a partner though she preferred one. It was a regular occurrence to get together with friends, drink coffee, chat and brag about her family. She had a passion and a talent for cooking and used those abilities to bring her family together every Sunday after church. She only had 2 biological grandchildren that called her Granny but to their neighbors and school friends she was also affectionately called Granny as she treated them all with love – they were her “little darlings”. Though she had many family members and friends she only had one son whom she fiercely loved and protected. That love can be proven in the care he gave her every day until her last breath. Ultimately she loved to be around others, long visits would end with her saying “stay a little longer” oh how we wish she would have done the same. Helen is preceded in death by her husband, Charles B. Hamilton, Jr.; her first husband, James Percy Lewis with whom she had her one and only son Michael Percy Lewis; her father, Ellis Raymond Michael, Sr.; her mother, Almozia LaHood Michael; her stepmother and best friend, Lucille Solomon Michael; her brother, Anthony Patrick Anice Michael; her brother, James Joseph Michael; her brother, Sammy Paul Michael; her sister, Frances Michael Holloway; and her sister, Selma Michael Shipp.

She is survived by her son, Michael Percy Lewis (Gay); her brother, Ellis Raymond Michael, Jr. (Joan); her sister, Theresa Reagan, and her sister, Carol Lyons (Gentry); her grandchildren (her greatest source of pride), Karessa Lewis Edwards and Kyle Lewis; and great granddaughter, Zoe Edwards. She also leaves behind numerous other loved nieces and nephews and special friend Lynn Slack.

Helen’s family would like to thank the nurses and physicians at Minden Medical Center and Christus Highland Medical Center who cared for her in her final days. A special thank you to Dr. Asafo and staff, her pulmonologist Dr. Howard as well as her special nephew Dr. Rick Michael, one of her favorites to brag about over coffee.

Pallbearers are Wesley Duck, Bobby Igo III, Brian Grubbs, Randall Reagan, Jason St. Germain, and Michael St. Germain Honorary pallbearers are Butch Michael, Dana Michael, Eric Lewis, Greg Michael, and Dr. Rick Michael In lieu of flowers, any memorials may be directed to St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Minden, LA.

OTHER OPINION

Pressly: Session vital to checks and balances John Adams in a February 2, 1816 letter to Thomas Jefferson stated, “Power must never be trusted without a check.”

Never has this notion been more applicable than now. The COVID-19 executive orders put in place under the signature of the governor continue to be an unchecked power. Governor Edwards’ initial executive order was put in place over six months ago, and during that time the Louisiana legislature has virtually been kept out of the conversation and unable to provide any input with regards to how to respond to this health pandemic.

It is true that Louisiana’s laws regarding health emergencies provide nearly exclusive power to the Governor. As the leader of the executive branch, this is the right place for the power to lay in the very short term, as the Governor has access to information quickly, resources available upon request and the ability to respond to emergencies in an expedited manner.

While public safety is a vital role of government – particularly state government pursu-

ant to the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution, the emergency powers are intended to be limited both in time and in scope. Emergency declarations are intended to preserve safety in the short term, not restrict freedom and liberty, for months on end.

In our current situation, more information has become k n o w n about how to minimize the spread of THOMAS the virus, PRESSLY treat those who are sick, and protect those who are at high risk, yet the restrictions on freedom continue. It is clear that COVID-19 is not simply going away, although scientists and health experts are working diligently to control the spread, treat the infected, and are working on a vaccine.

Personal responsibility is key to maintaining these advanc-

es, not unilateral gubernatorial declarations.

As the response period extends for an unknown timeframe, the governor’s restrictions on personal liberties and freedom must be questioned and debated based on facts.

During this health emergency and any in the future, the people – through their elected representatives – must have more influence, knowledge, and input on making the decision on whether governmental restrictions are needed, and if so, to what degree. To this end, during the upcoming special session, legislation will be introduced to provide a check on the continuation of any emergency declaration after 30 days.

This legislation should require the Governor and his administration to provide data and support to the legislature as to why the executive order should be continued every thirty days.

Additionally, legislation will be introduced clarifying the law regarding the governor’s ability to issue a natural disaster and a public health emergency simultaneously. As part of that

legislation, clarifying language that spells out the legislature’s ability to terminate one declared disaster while also maintaining another declared emergency such that it would be unaffected (i.e. an emergency declaration for a hurricane can be issued at the same time a public health emergency is terminated) is needed.

Both the United States and the Louisiana Constitutions require checks and balances of the executive – especially during the continuation of a state of emergency limiting freedom and liberty. As James Madison provided in Federalist 51, “it may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices [checks and balances] should be necessary to control the abuses of government.”

Providing limits to the ability of the Governor to issue a state of emergency for an extended period of time without legislative oversight will restore the principles necessary to ensure the proper function of our government and while adhering to our constitutional principles.

The Sunrise Movement’s co-founder, Evan Weber, is a former Occupy Wall Street organizer. Two others, Sara Blazevic and Varshini Prakash, are Green New Deal zealots and Bernie Sanders activists who teamed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to push the Democrats even further left.

Prakash serves as an advisory board member of Climate Power 2020 along with Soros-funded Center for American Progress head John Podesta, former Obama administration environmental czar Carol Browner, former Obama administration science czar John Holdren, former Obama administration Secretary of State John Kerry, former Obama administration EPA head Gina McCarthy, and former Obama administration U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.

According to Forbes magazine, Sunrise has 50 full-time staff and $6.5 million in funding. The Sunrise Movement’s political arm “promotes social justice ideals” through sit-ins and neighborhood invasions.

“Sunrise School” is recruiting students online on how to plan attacks on private property and get press coverage (like a glowing CNN report Monday that celebrated its “youth organizers”). The goal: “mass civil disobedience.”

For the past three years, the group has established “Sunrise Movement Houses” where “fellows” ages 18-25 move into training centers in key elector-

al states. The Sunrise website boasts more than 400 “hubs” across the country, from Kodiak, Alaska, to Portland and Seattle, to Santa Fe, El Paso, Milwaukee, Detroit, Des Moines, Boston, Tampa and all points in between.

Most recently, Sunrise has trained its street performers for “defund the police” actions with illegal immigrant rabble-rousers from Soros-funded Mijente and Dream Defenders, as well as the Democratic Socialists of America’s Afrosocialists. In July, Sunrise trainees descended on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s house in Louisville, Kentucky. This weekend, the drum-pounders targeted Graham as well as Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Republican Senators Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin are their next targets, as well Supreme Court short list candidate Barbara Lagoa.

They may look and sound like pesky, snot-nosed toddlers having harmless temper tantrums in black pajamas. But these professionally organized punks provide obstructionist boots on the ground for globalist Democratic billionaires and strategic cover for their violent antifa and Black Lives Matter comrades.

Wake up, smell the manufactured chaos, and vote to put these pot-banging brats and their donors in time out. Four more years.

Another time, with power of attorney, he sold a piece of property, that was to be willed to his brother, not needing his dad’s signature, leaving his brother in bewilderment at what had happened behind closed doors!

Again it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out!

It hurts to see a loved one lose all that they have saved and invested in to an unscrupulous offspring.

Whatever, there’s lessons to be learned behind it all but we need to value the love of family members because people are more important than things.

Webster & More STATE

COVID-19 legislative session starts Monday in Louisiana MELINDA DESLATTE AP NEWS

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Only three months removed from their last gathering, Louisiana legislators return Monday for a special session focused on the coronavirus outbreak, with deepening rifts between Gov. John Bel Edwards and Republican lawmakers over the appropriate response to the pandemic.

The month-long special session was called

by Republican lawmakers without consultation from the Democratic governor, who had no sway over the 70-item agenda.

On the agenda are everything from Hurricane Laura response and changes to coronavirus regulations to budget discussions and issues specific to individual parishes, prompting criticism

the list is too expansive.

“It’s like a regular session. I think the call is way too ambitious,” said Baton Rouge Rep. Ted James, one of the few Democrats to sign the petition convening the session. “I think that there’s no way that we can adequately address all of those issues in 30 days.”

The House and Senate convene Monday evening, with little action expected on the opening day besides procedural moves of reading in bills and assigning them to committee.

Top of the agenda is a push by GOP legislators, particularly in the House, to try to scale back the governor’s emergency powers and require more review from the Legislature for emergencies that last beyond a few weeks.

Though lawmakers are

proposing a permanent change for all governors, the immediate effect would limit Edwards’ ability to keep coronavirus-related business and activity restrictions in place without agreement from lawmakers — many of whom complain they’ve been sidelined.

“I think there’s a large segment of the Legislature that wants to at least have a seat at the table to discuss how the state operates,” said Senate President Page Cortez, a Lafayette Republican.

Democrats are rallying against efforts to curb the governor’s authority, and if they hold together as a bloc in the House, they could keep Republicans from being able to override an Edwards veto of such legislation.

“The governor is doing a good job of manag-

ing the pandemic,” said Shreveport Rep. Sam Jenkins, the leader of House Democrats.

Nearly 5,300 people in Louisiana have died from the COVID-19 disease caused by the coronavirus since mid-March, according to the state health department.

Some Republican lawmakers say Edwards’ continued regulations have been an overreaction, damaging the state’s economy.

The governor says his rules — which were loosened earlier this month — are less restrictive than many other states with lower rates of virus infections. The White House coronavirus task force and Trump administration officials have repeatedly applauded Edwards’ handling of the outbreak.

Cortez said one of his

main priorities for the session involves finding a way to shore up the state’s nearly bankrupt unemployment trust fund. Jobless benefits will keep flowing to workers through loans from the federal government, but in 2021 those benefits will shrink and businesses will have to pay higher taxes if lawmakers can’t find a state financing stream to refill the trust fund.

Sen. Cameron Henry, a Metairie Republican, wants to start looking at ways to cut state spending to account for lower tax collections because of the coronavirus outbreak.

While federal dollars have filled budget gaps this year, those dollars will disappear next year. Henry wants to prepare for that loss — and he’s suggesting lawmakers curtail

future automatic salary hikes for state workers.

“To be borrowing money for unemployment while giving out pay raises is not the best use of taxpayer dollars,” he said.

Henry and other Republicans lawmakers also want to take a deep dive into the government contracts that have been awarded during the pandemic and after Laura struck in August, as public bid laws have been suspended because of the governor’s emergency orders.

Edwards has criticized the special session as too long and too unwieldy in topics.

Special sessions traditionally have cost Louisiana about $50,000 a day, meaning this latest gathering could cost as much as $1.5 million if it lasts until it must end Oct. 27.

Anthony leads Payton: ‘Gut check’ for 1-2 Saints Costly mistakes LA Tech to win see Saints drop back-to-back over HBU games for first

RUSTON, La. – Luke Anthony threw five touchdowns and ran for another to lead Louisiana Tech to a 66-38 win over Houston Baptist Saturday night before a “Covid19 sellout” of 7,140 fans at Joe Aillet Stadium.

Anthony, who faced the Huskies as the starting QB for Abilene Christian the past two seasons in Southland Conference play, found Wayne Toussant on a pair of long TD passes in the opening quarter before hitting Isaiah Graham to two more in the second quarter as the Bulldogs built a 38-17 halftime lead.

“One of the things we have said is that one of the areas we have a chance to really improve as a football team, we’ve got some weapons out on the perimeter, and we have two quarterbacks who are throwing the deep ball really well,” said LA Tech head coach Skip Holtz. “They’ve done it all camp. They’ve got a feel for it, and that’s something where you’ve just got to let your mind be a computer and lay it up there. They execute the deep ball really well.

“Wayne Toussant came alive and made some big plays for us. Isaiah Graham had two great contested catches over the middle of the field. We have some weapons out there. It was nice seeing those guys play as well as they did. Luke can definitely play better, but I’m really proud. He’s only been in this offense five weeks, so he’s really playing well. Overall, I was pleased with the way we came in and competed.”

The Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 C-USA) amassed 542 yards of total offense as Anthony hit 17-of-30 passes for 314 yards and the five scores. He found Jawaun Johnson for a 41yard strike in the third quarter and also scored on a one-yard plunge in the third stanza.

“Early on in the game, there was a lot of me wanting to move more than I should of, and I think that forced some plays to extend and resulted in me throwing it away or me putting guys in contested catch situations,” said Anthony.

“Once we got rolling in our base offense and going quick game and being able to hit them over the top, at that point it’s trusting the call and trusting

everything you’ve been taught. Our O-line did a great job protecting me and gave me plenty of time to take the shots we needed to down the field that ultimately played a big role in the game.”

Justin Henderson rushed 11 times for 77 yards and one score while Israel Tucker added 63 yards on nine carries to lead the Bulldogs ground game that totaled 182 yards in the game. Henderson scored on a threeyard run early in the second quarter to give Tech a 31-14 advantage.

Greg Garner added a two-yard run in the fourth quarter while Westin Elliott found Kyle Maxwell for a seven-yard score for the final TD of the game.

Freshman Jacob Barnes, who connected on all nine extra point attempts in the game, started the scoring for the Bulldogs with a 51-yard field goal just four minutes into the contest.

Smoke Harris led all Tech receivers with five catches for 30 yards while Adrian Hardy (4-69), Toussant (3-91-2 TDs), Graham (3-36-2 TDs), Maxwell (3-29-1 TD), Griffin Hebert (2-47) and Johnson (2-44-1 TD) were all involved heavily in the passing game.

Defensively, the Bulldogs got enough stops against a high-powered Huskies passing game that had scored 31 points against North Texas and 33 points against Texas Tech. HBU quarterback Bailey Zappe completed 37-of-58 passes for 406 yards and five touchdowns in the contest but did throw his first interception in more than 140 pass attempts on the season.

“This is a quarterback that threw for 500 yards in the opening week and 600 yards in his previous game, so when you say you held him to 400 yards, you feel really good about it,” said Holtz. “It’s not often you have a quarterback throw for 400 yards against you and you feel like your defense played well. They created the first turnover of the year.

It certainly wasn’t perfect. There are certainly things you have to do better, but we didn’t flinch.

They went out and they played.”

Special to the Press-Herald Despite leading in each offensive yardage statistic, the New Orleans Saints could not hold serve at home in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and dropped 1-2 overall with a 37-30 loss to the undefeated Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers (3-0).

Coupled with last week’s road loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the defeat marks the Saints first back-to-back loss since starting 0-2 in 2017.

“We’re not doing enough of the little things well enough to win on a consistent basis,” said Saints head coach Sean Payton. “We are going to watch the tape.

There are some encouraging things; and, yet, as a team, there are too many details that we have to improve on.

That starts with us as coaches, myself, starting with me.”

T h e Saints lost the turnover battle 1-0, but more importantly it came down to LEE a n o t h er penalty-plagued outing where New Orleans committed eight penalties for 83 yards compared to the Packers two for 10.

“We’ve got to do a better job,” said Payton, now in his 15th season with the team.

“We’ve got to get ready to play a better game against Detroit. That’s our industry.

We are 1-2 right now. It’s been awhile since we felt that; and, yet, three years ago we were 0-2. It’s a little bit of a gut check. Yet, we are not playing well enough.

Let’s not fool ourselves, we are making too many mistakes and we are not playing disciplined enough on both sides of the ball. That is really just the truth.”

With All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas still out recovering from a high-ankle sprain, a lot of the focus has turned to tailback Alvin Kamara, who recently signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension. The 25-year-old ranks fourth in receiving yards through three weeks and has become only the second player in NFL history to score three rushing and three receiving touchdowns in that same time span, including two TD receptions in the loss to Green Bay. But team leader and the league’s most prolific passer

in history Drew Brees knows time is of the essence for a team long favored for another Super Bowl run after winning just one in 2010.

“If you’re a veteran player in this league, you know you are not guaranteed anything year to year,” said the

41-year-old Brees, who went 29-of-36 for 288 yards with three touchdowns against the Packers. “You come out and have to earn it. Based on the last two losses, we need to take a hard look here.

What we’re doing, how we’re doing it, we need to be doing

it better, bottom line.

“Listen, I love our team,” continued the 15-year Saints starter. “I love the way we work, the way we prepare.

But obviously, there are things that need to be corrected so we can get back on track.”

Glenbrook got back to winning ways with a thorough stomping of Amite on the road on Friday. The Apaches moved back to .500 (3-3) as their offense and defense combined for one of their most complete team wins of the season.

The Apaches play at home for the first time on Friday against Greenville Christian.

Continued from Page 7 second quarter, upping the LA Tech streak to 19 straight games with at least one forced turnover.

It also marked the seventh straight game with at least one interception by the Bulldogs.

“He’s a great quarterback,” said Williamson on Zappe. “I feel like we left a lot on the field, though. We had a lot of missed tackles. I feel like everyone in the DB room could play better altogether. Other than that, I’m happy with the victory we had.”

True freshman Tyler

Grubbs followed up his impressive debut against Southern Miss with another strong outing, totaling 12 tackles and one tackle for loss. Trey Baldwin added nine tackles before leaving the game due to a targeting foul in the third quarter while Williamson chipped in with seven stops.

Milton Williams, Levi Bell and Tristan Allen all recorded sacks in the game.

Tech returns to action Friday when it travels to Provo to face BYU. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. CT in a game that will be televised on ESPN2.

Glenbrook 56 AMITE 18

Minden’s first and only scrimmage against Captain Shreve went swimmingly as the Tide showed their class against a bigtime program on Friday at The Pit. “I felt like we got some really good reps against a solid Shreve team,” Minden coach Spencer Heard said. “This week is just about fine tuning technique and getting in better shape.”

The scrimmage was highlighted by an 80-yard touchdown run from Daylen Robinson, Trent McLaughlin’s 18-yard touchdown pass to Parker Hall, and an Isaiah Thornton interception to lead the defense.

“This team has great chemistry and is a joy to coach,” Heard said.

Minden heads to North Webster on Friday for the first official game of the 2020 season.

The Tide won last season’s fixture 14-7 after North Webster took the previous season’s tight game.

It promises to be a great game as usual, and the first matchup between the schools in Springhill in over two seasons.

LAKE BISTINEAU FIELD 20-358 LEGAL NOTICE STATE OF LOUISIANA, OFFICE OF CONSERVATION, BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA. In accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, and with particular reference to the provisions of Title 30 of Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, a public hearing will be held in the Hearing Room, 1st Floor, LaSalle Building, 617 North 3rd Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at 9:00 a.m. on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2020, upon the application of COMSTOCK OIL & GAS-LOUISIANA, LLC.

At such hearing the Commissioner of Conservation will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Lake Bistineau Field, Bienville, Bossier and Webster Parishes, Louisiana.

1. To create two additional drilling and production units (to be designated as HA RA SU53 and HA RA SU54) for the exploration for and production of gas and condensate from the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A. 2. To force pool and integrate all separately owned tracts, mineral leases and other property interests within the pro-

posed units, with allocation of unit production to the tracts within such units to be on the basis of surface acreage participation.

3. To designate the applicant as unit operator and to permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize one cross unit horizontal well as a unit well for HA RA SU53 and HA RA SU54, at the location and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, or within a 100’ radius of the location shown, provided that said proposed horizontal well will be perforated no closer than 330’ from any unit boundary, except the common unit boundary between such units.

4. To explicitly find that the proposed cross unit horizontal well is reasonable and in the interest of conservation and is necessary to drain a portion of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, underlying such units, which cannot be efficiently and economically drained by any existing well in such units.

5. To provide that unit production from said cross unit horizontal well shall be allocated to each unit in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral as determined by an “as drilled” survey performed after the cross unit well is drilled and completed; provided that unit production shall continue to be shared on a surface acre basis.
