SPRING EDITION APRIL 29 - MAY 9

Northwestern State president Dr. Chris Maggio announced Friday that he will retire from the university effective July 1, 2021. He has served as president since January of 2017 and has been a member of NSU’s faculty, staff and administration for 33 years. “This is a decision that was made during prayerful deliberation with my family and was based entirely on considerations of our family’s future plans and aspirations. There has been no pressure or even the slightest nudge from anyone for me to step down from the presidency,” Maggio stated. He said, “As gratifying as it has been to work over the years in athletics, recruitment and enrollment management, alumni and development, student affairs and as a vice-president and presi-

dent, those responsibilities have necessitated extensive time away from my family.”

USIC

M He said retirement from the university “will allow me to spend more time with family and friends and to explore new opportunities for serving others in education or related areas.” Dr. Jim Henderson, president of the University of Louisiana System that governs NSU, said,

L A V I RN

“Dr. Maggio has served Northwestern passionately over the past four years, and the progress and accomplishments of the school reflect his effective leadership and dedication to his alma mater and mine.” Henderson, who preceded Maggio as president of NSU, stated, “All of us who care deeply about Northwestern are indebted to Chris for his major contributions to the university, especially in such a difficult period, and we wish him well in retirement and the next phase of his life.” The University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors “will begin immediately developing the process to assure a successful transition of leadership at NSU in the weeks ahead,” Henderson said.

meant to honor the fallen soldiers who have died for their country over the years. While re-raising the flag is meant to symbolize the resolve of the living to carry on the fight for freedom so that our nation’s heroes will not have died in vain. Additionally, many will wear or put on a display of red poppies as a symbol of fallen soldiers.

Bart Crow Brings His Brand Of Texas Country To 67 Landing

orn and raised in Maypearl, Texas, country music singer/songwriterBart Crow made his first attempts to write songs while in the United States Army and started first performing live while studying at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX.

With a sound all his own, Crow produces an ever-evolving flow of Red Dirt, Texas Country and Americana music. Crow has put together an impressive track record as a recording artist, having lofted six No. 1 singles onto the Texas Music Chart –one of which, “Wear My Ring,” sold over 165,000 copies. He has sold over 40,000 albums, released five self-co-produced records in just over a decade, including Dandelion, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Heatseekers South Central chart. He’s been cheered in Country Weekly, on CMT, and has been named one of Rolling Stones “artists you need to know”. Crow is also a dedicated husband and father with a passion for supporting our nation’s Veterans. “Being a Veteran I will always pay homage to our brothers and sisters who heed the call to volunteer and preserve our peace and freedom,” says Crow. He displays this sentiment in his self-penned song “Broken” from album “Heartworn Tragedy”. 67 Landing is a Family owned Seafood Restaurant with a huge outdoor patio. They host live local bands on weekends and have daily food/drink specials. Their big stage outback is perfect for larger bands and crowds up to 1500 people. The outdoors stage is covered with fans and lights so it will be great any time of the year! And they have had some fantastic bands out there, such as Whiskey River, Neal McCoy, Warrant, Sam Riggs, and many more. This Saturday is Bart Crow and it’s going to be a great show.

Lsu Agcenter Rice Is Main Ingredient In LouisianaBrewed Wetlands Sake Bruce Schultz Assistant Communications Specialist LSU AgCenter

Short-grain rice developed by the LSU AgCenter has been planted for a New Orleans company to make sake, a traditional Japanese beverage that is becoming more popular in the U.S. The Pirogue variety was planted on 31 acres at the H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station on April 6 by Rick Zaunbrecher, the station’s foundation seed manager. After harvest in August, the rice will be sold to Wetlands Sake, and the field of remaining stubble will be used for crawfish. The company’s co-founders, Nan Wallis and Lindsey Beard, were determined their sake would be made with rice grown in Louisiana. “Living in the land of rice, we definitely wanted to use Louisiana rice,” said Beard, who is part of the Brennan restaurant family. Dustin Harrell, resident coordinator of the Rice Research Station and former LSU AgCenter rice specialist, said Beard and Wallis contacted him two and a half years ago about growing rice for sake, but he wasn’t sure the station had any offerings that would meet their needs. Then he remembered Pirogue, which was developed in 2003 by Steve Linscombe, a now-retired LSU AgCenter rice breeder. Linscombe said a south Louisiana rice company approached him for a short-grain rice that could be grown in Louisiana. “That company was bringing in paddy short grain from California (S102) and milling it in Abbeville for the Puerto Rico market,” Linscombe recalled. “They asked if I could develop a short grain adapted to be grown in southwest Louisiana.” The founders of Wetlands Sake knew little about rice when they started. “It’s only because of Dustin and his patience that we’ve been able to come this far,” Wallis said. A small crop of Pirogue foundation seed was planted at the Rice Research Station and used for testing. “The short grain that Steve developed worked perfectly,” Harrell said. Zaunbrecher said he grew 14 acres of rice for Wetlands Sake last year, and it yielded 49 barrels an acre. He said the approach to growing Pirogue is the same as a long-grain or medium-grain rice. Wetlands Sake is challenging the traditional way sake is sold and consumed. Usually, the beverage is available in bottles and is considered a drink to complement Asian food, but Wallis and Beard wanted their product to be considered a stand-alone beverage like beer or wine. “We want sake to become an everyday drink, so we decided that the best way to make that happen is to put it in singleserve cans,” Wallis said. Buying an 8-ounce can of sake is an easier way for consumers who shied away from buying a large bottle of what they considered an exotic drink. “You have the opportunity to try something you may not have tried otherwise,” Beard said. “I think we’ve opened up a whole new world.” Their sake is intended to be served chilled and with or without food. It is available in filtered and unfiltered varieties and in a sparkling version flavored with blood orange or passion fruit.

Currently, Wetlands Sake is sold in the New Orleans area at grocery stores, bars and restaurants, but Beard and Wallis plan to have their products available nationwide. That would mean additional acres of Pirogue would be needed from Louisiana farmers, they said. Unlike wine, sake has no preservatives or sulfites. Rice, water, yeast and koji spores are the only ingredients used in the five-week fermentation process. Wetlands Sake is handcrafted using traditional methods, Beard said. Later this year, Wallis and Beard plan to open a tasting room at the brewery, located in the Warehouse District at 634 Orange St. in New Orleans. The partnership began almost three years ago when Beard dined with Wallis, who had returned from a trip to New York, where she and her husband noticed sake on many restaurant menus. Days later, Beard found a package of rice on her doorstep with a “Let’s talk” note, and they met to sketch out a business plan. The Wetlands Sake website, wetlandssake.com, explains the process of making the beverage. The company also has Facebook and Instagram pages. The heron on the company’s logo symbolizes the concern Wallis and Beard have for wetlands in Louisiana and the rest of the U.S. The company is pledging to donate 2% of its profits to Save America’s Wetlands through the Greater New Orleans Foundation. “Giving back to the wetlands is a big part of our mission,” Beard said. “We are passionate about wetlands conservation.” Rice mills in Louisiana lack the capability of milling sake rice, so a sake mill in Minnesota is currently milling the pearl-shaped grain. However, Harrell said a new mill at the Rice Research Station will eventually have the capability of processing short-grain rice. Wallis and Beard also plan to work with the LSU AgCenter Food Incubator to get help with marketing. “It really is going full circle, working with LSU. It all started at the Rice Research Station,” Wallis said. Harrell said he’s enjoyed working on the project. “It’s been great to see their product in the market,” he said. Harrell said the sake is a good promotional tool for Louisiana rice. “It’s good from the standpoint that they’re using a rice developed in Louisiana, grown in Louisiana and brewed in Louisiana,” he said.

Flying the American flag, wearing red, white and blue, donating to veterans organizations and sending care packages to those serving overseas are other ways to celebrate. Memorial Day takes place the last Monday in May. It is a federal holidays set aside to commemorates all men and women who have died while serving in the military for our country. Throughout the United States it is common to visit cemeteries, particularly military ones,

and decorate graves of the deceased with flowers, small flags and wreaths. Other common traditions of Memorial Day include the raising the U.S. flag quickly to the tops of flagpoles, slowly lowered to half-mast, and then it is raised again to full height at noon. The lowering of the flag at half-mast is meant to honor the fallen soldiers who have died for their country over the years. While re-raising the flag is meant to symbolize the resolve of the living to carry on the fight for freedom so that our nation’s heroes will not have died in vain. Additionally, many will wear or put on a display of red poppies as a symbol of fallen soldiers.

COVID-19 mitigation measures including mask mandate are eased Gov. John Bel Edwards announced in late April he was easing some mitigation measures and the statewide mask mandate was lifted. In a news release, the governor said his decision came after months of sustained improvement in COVID hospitalizations and an increase in the supply and availability of vaccines, Mask policies in Louisiana are now set by local leaders and business owners. Masks are still required on public transit and in state

government buildings, K-12 schools, early childhood education centers, colleges and universities, and healthcare facilities. Additionally, for theaters, event spaces, festivals and fairs and other outdoor events, there is no limitation on outdoor capacity. For indoor sporting events, capacity is limited to 75 percent of capacity with social distancing, or 100 percent capacity if a mask mandate is enforced at the venue. Capacity will not be

limited outdoors. For live music, new regulations will require 10 feet of space between the stage and the audience and crowds must be seated. Bars are still only open to those 21 and older. Gov Edwards noted more than one in four Louisianans are now fully vaccinated, including two-thirds of those 65 and older. He also commented the state joins the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal and medical officials in recommend-

ing people wear masks in public or when they are with unvaccinated people outside of their households. “Many Louisianans have been wearing masks for more than a year now and the statewide mask mandate has been in place for nearly 10 months. We know masks work – the science is clear and we’ve seen the positive impact in our own state. It’s intuitive for people to protect themselves with masks in higher risk situations, and this important mitigation

measure should continue. But we have many more tools for slowing the spread of COVID than we did even a few months ago, including better treatments and, most importantly, several highly effective and safe vaccines,” Gov. Edwards said. “I want to be clear: this is not the end of wearing masks in public, as COVID-19 and the spread of variants are still a real threat in our communities. Louisianans should respect each other and busi-

nesses and places where masks will be required as we move into a new phase of slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. I will continue to wear a mask in government buildings and in public, especially when I do not know if someone around me has been vaccinated, and I encourage everyone to do this as well.” Social distancing and masking are recommended by both the state of Louisiana and the CDC.

MAGGIO From Page 1

Northwestern reached a record enrollment of 11,447 last fall under Maggio’s leadership to become the third largest university in the nineschool University of Louisiana System. The four highest enrollments in NSU history have been during Maggio’s tenure as president, and the university’s economic impact on the region has climbed to an all-time high of $428 million. Academic offerings have been enhanced and expanded during his presidency, private funding is the highest in history, facilities and infrastructure have been upgraded, and the university has provided increased support for student services and activities, athletics, creative and performing arts and other programs. Maggio guided Northwestern through one of the most challenging periods in its 137-year history when the school transitioned last spring to predominantly online classes and academic programs early in the COVID-19 pandemic. NSU has returned to in-person

classes and more normal operations but continues to serve students through online and hybrid class delivery. Maggio expressed appreciation “to an incomparable, world class faculty and staff for the growth, stability and success of the university in recent years. Northwestern is fortunate to have such highly qualified and effective professors and staff members. They are the very heart and soul of the university.” Northwestern has received during Maggio’s presidency initial funding for a major new $35 million academic building to replace Kyser Hall. There have also been substantial renovations to the A.A. Fredericks Fine Arts Building lobby and auditorium. The Student Union has been refurbished and now includes new meeting areas, a state-of-the-art esports venue and a Steak ‘n Shake Restaurant. Maggio provided the momentum for a new Campus Marketplace adjacent to the campus that includes an expanded university bookstore and a

www.thriftyclassifieds.net •• www.thriftyclassifieds.online

Chick-fil-A Restaurant. There have been numerous other improvements to buildings, roads and other facilities at NSU campuses in Natchitoches, Shreveport, Leesville and Alexandria during Maggio’s tenure. Expanded academic programs include the master ’s degree in Computer Information Systems, a concentration in Nurse Anesthesia in the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program that is awaiting final approval and a certificate program in remote systems science and technology. NSU has also established in the past four years a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance and a Computer Information Sciences concentration in Cyber Security. To help meet the critical shortage of nurses and health care personnel, the university established the BS to BSN accelerated program in nursing and the Military Medic-Paramedic to ASN program. NSU has also established a Nursing Clinical program on the Natchitoches campus to accommodate students involved in band, athletics and other activities. Maggio helped instate the Co-Requisite Math

Course Enrollment Requirement that has enhanced student retention rates. Special tuition rates supported by Maggio have attracted students to alternate teacher certification and nursing programs. Private support for the university has increased substantially since Maggio has been president. Endowments have grown from $30 million to $45 million with 25 new endowed professorships and first generation scholarships. Contributions to the NSU Foundation have exceeded $22 million since 2016. Revenues for grant programs and private support for athletics have also grown over the past four years. During his term as president, Maggio worked to establish mutually beneficial partnerships with governmental entities, private foundations, schools and educational organizations and other groups. The Flavor of Louisiana partnership with the lieutenant governor ’s office and Louisiana Seafood Board created a showcase for culinary arts and hospitality students and generated more than $200,000 in revenues for scholarships and other programs. A partnership with the

Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program at the Biomedical Research Foundation helped create the Inferno Pitch entrepreneurial and business competition for students at the university. NSU has cooperated with community colleges in the region and area manufacturers to help address regional workforce needs and continues to host Boys and Girls State programs on campus in cooperation with the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. Maggio was also at the forefront of bringing the Louisiana High School Athletic Association state football championships to NSU and Natchitoches in December. That threeday event created an $8 million impact on the community and region.

Bossier City mayor-elect Tommy Chandler takes the reins July 1 after unseating longtime mayor As owner of the family business T.H. Chandler Enterprises, Inc. in Bossier City for over 20 years, Chandler says he will bring his business acumen to the table complete with fresh ideas and a new administrative team. In mid-April, Chandler announced he had selected Shane Cheatham to be the next Chief Administrative Officer for Bossier City. The two have already meet with Gov. Edwards, DOTD, the state treasurer, President of the Senate and Speaker of the House. Topics discussed were

Jimmie Davis Bridge, Barksdale Air Force Base, infra-

structure, and several other Bossier City needs. Among Chandler’s top priorities are a safe and se-

cure city through the support of police officers, fire fighters and other first responders by providing them with the necessary tools and equipment to do their respective jobs. Chandler also vows to improve the roads and traffic flow throughout the city. Cutting wasteful spending is another priority, as is being resourceful with all tax dollars collected. By investing in essential services, says Chandler, Bossier City will become a hot spot for new businesses.

NPSB holds town meetings to discuss a new consolidated school district and high school The Natchitoches Parish School Board held town hall meetings in April to gain feedback on the possible consolidation of Districts 6, 8 and 10 followed by construction of a new high school for the new consolidated district. On the table is to combine District 6, 8 and 10 into one consolidated Dis-

trict 11. As an incentive to consolidate these three districts, the board is proposing the creation of a new high school in the area that would serve Cloutierville, Provencal and Marthaville. “The school would be a 2A school with full programmatic offerings,” said NPSB Superintendent, Dr. Grant Eloi. “We

are holding two town hall meetings to invite public input on this process, which includes both district consolidation and the new high school.” For more information and to view the school board’s proposal, visit https://npsb.la/news/public-notice-town-halls-discuss-consolidation-newdistrict-11.

The black woman who fought against profanity in Rap lyrics

Black History Brief:

March May18, 6, 2021

columnist Edwin Crayton Rappers curse about women. Rappers curse women. But in the 1990s, many of the top rappers enjoyed cursing one woman in particular. Her name was C. Delores Tucker. (That first initial stands for Cynthia). Mrs. Tucker was a married, successful, middle aged African American woman who had once been a pioneering politician and activist in Pennsylvania. She is credited as being the first black female Secretary of State in America. Which is to say, she knew how to express herself very well. One day, she simply got fed up with the profanity in rap music and decided to do something about it. She began to speak out and ask rappers and their record companies to stop using profanity and to end the creation and production of sexually explicit songs that disrespected women. Mrs. Tucker who was considered a feminist, was concerned about the images of women, particularly black ones. Of course, unfortunately rap like that sells millions per artist, so her complaints fell

on deaf ears. In fact, some artists became defensive and started to rap hatefully about her. One such artist was Tupac Shakur, a superstar from the 90s. In his song, “Wonder why they call you b- - - -, he rapped, “Dear Ms. Delores Tucker, keep stressin’ me F_ _ _ _ _ with a M_______F______ mind.” Other artists such as Jay Z and Lil Kim also wrote anti- Tucker lyrics. Mrs. Tucker was creative. She protested, did interviews and even bought stock in a company so she could speak out at the shareholder’s meeting. The public began to notice Mrs. Tucker’s campaign against profanity in music and many in America appreciated her guts and what seemed to be a genuine desire to clean up music that was beginning to influence millions of young minds. It helped spark debate over the issue of profanity, sexism and stereotypes in rap. I was one of those people who admired her efforts and although my worldview is different from what hers was, I agreed with her stance. I still believe a

lot of popular music glorifies profanity and the vile. I am involved in a Christian youth Bible study program called 22:6 and the program won’t allow children to play rap or hip-hop during activities. The children are also taught that profanity is sinful and

want to use profanity in his work. But the record company wanted him to and poured on the pressure. They offered him a half million-dollar contract if he would add profanity to his work. He did. I am not sure how typical such an incident is, but I would not be

The Bible says, “Let no filthy communication come from your mouth (Ephesians 4:29)”. It amazed me then and still does that rappers don’t have more of a conscience about pushing songs with filthy lyrics on impressionable children who idolize them. urged not to listen to music with profanity at all. The Bible says, “Let no filthy communication come from your mouth (Ephesians 4:29)”. It amazed me then and still does that rappers don’t have more of a conscience about pushing songs with filthy lyrics on impressionable children who idolize them. But the music business is a business and it idolizes the almighty dollar. In fact, I recently heard a radio story featuring a young rapper who did not

surprised if it were more common than not, when I consider how much profanity the average rap or hip-hop song has. Of course, not all rap or hip hop is profanity laced. And artists who perform rock, country and other music also use profanity. But rap gives people their first and sometimes only impression of African Americans. For instance, in 2007, on National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation, Host Neal Conan interviewed Profes-

sor Eric Michael Dyson, who proclaimed hip hop and rap to be art forms, despite their imperfections. Yet he reminded the audience that rap was a hit among white people first. Conan then mentioned that rappers were on the cover of white magazines before they were featured on the covers of black publications. Professor Dyson responded, “That’s exactly right. And they were on white TV before they’re on black TV. They were on MTV and they---MTV said, wait a minute, you mean we got a rap show? It’s the lowest overhead. What (have) we got to do? Show a bunch of videos of rappers. And they’re doing their thing, and it was their huge success. So, they were on MTV before getting onto BET, on Rolling Stone and other magazines before making into the black culture.” One caller on that show, suggested that negative images of blacks witnessed in hip hop and rap, gave young white listeners a negative,

stereotypical image of blacks. Dyson nodded to that concern. Mrs. Tucker who passed away in 2005 would have appreciated hearing that her complaints were being voiced by citizens. Although she was not able to end profanity in music obviously, she had impact. People Magazine picked her as one of the 25 Most Intriguing People. She was placed on the Parent’s TV Advisory Council. Even after her death, her message lives on every time someone like the caller who challenged the images in rap, or any time any of us also speak out against Godless music or simply just turns it off.

generations. He was happiest when he was with his cattle and horses. He loved team roping and the fellowship of rodeo. One of his favorite stories was of the time he and some of his buddies came across a deer while gathering cattle on horseback. They saw that as a challenge not to be missed. So he and Benny Grant took off after it and Curtis head roped that big 11 point buck while Benny roped the heals. What an accomplishment! They all were so proud of themselves and that story has been told countless times. After working at the family sale barn, Clark’s Livestock Auction in Bossier City, he went on to be the longtime manager of North Ridge Farms in North Shreveport. While employed there, he became the President of the Louisiana Cattleman’s Association, one of his most proud accomplishments. From there he went back to his roots to manage Clark’s Auction for several years. He was also an order buyer for Conley

Cattle Company and travelled the sale barn circuit. He made many lifelong friends at those sales. Lots of stories were shared among the “Under the Tree” club. He and his wife, Dot, then began the Wineglass Cattle Company and raised cattle for many years. He was particularly proud of his brand, a wine glass, because it symbolized his love of spirits and a good time. After the cattle came the thoroughbred horses, which he also loved. He owned a few racehorses and had some success with them, but his biggest glory was “Cute ‘N Noble.” She went on to win the Louisiana Breeders Oaks and the Champions Day Ladies Stakes in 2003.
