OFF TO SCHOOL with a helping hand
BY FRANCES Y. SPENCER Contributing writer
It takes a village to raise a child and the Zachary community village came out in force to support local children and families Aug. 8. Community and civic organizations, local agencies, and a number of elected officials joined the effort to kickstart a successful school year. The annual Back-to-School Giveaway, hosted by the Zachary Men’s Club, exceeded previous years in both turnout and sponsoring organizations. Carl Dawson, the group’s vice president, said an estimated 300 children and 150 adults participated in the event held at the club’s Rollins Road center. Mayor David McDavid and a host of City Hall and City Council officials were on hand to help distribute lunch totes with reusable water bottles, along with zipper pencil bags
filled with school supplies. The giveaway provided students with much-needed supplies and free food and drinks. “Events like the Zachary Men’s Club Backto-School Giveaway are a wonderful reminder of what makes Zachary such a special community,” McDavid said. “The support and generosity of local organizations help ensure that our young people begin the school year feeling prepared, encouraged and supported.” The leadership and generosity of the Zachary Men’s Club was noticed across the region and the group received top honors in the coveted Solaris Awards of greater Baton Rouge in 2017. Each year, the Family Road organization recognizes outstanding community groups during its annual fundraising gala. Nine categories are highlighted, and groups and agencies are honored for excellence in serving the greater Baton Rouge community.

Zachary police confirmed that no shots were fired Saturday evening at the Zachary Really Hot Air Balloon Festival, which was closed early during the investigation. At 8:11 p.m. patrol officers and officers working extra duty responded to a report of multiple shots fired on the festival grounds. ä More photos from Police secured the scene and the festival. PAGE 2G through witness interviews and surveillance footage of the scene determined there was a fight that occurred but no shots fired. No spent shell casings were recovered at the scene, and multiple witnesses in close proximity to the incident reported that they did not hear any gunshots, police said. Shortly after the incident, police received a tip that a person of interest in the battery was at the Rouses Market on Church Street. Police questioned the individual and released them after it was determined they were not involved. “We are relieved the investigation confirmed there were no shots fired at the festival. Out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of public safety, we made the decision to close the festival. Having officers already on-site allowed for a swift response and helped prevent any further

Zachary cross-country is pounding pavement for 2026 Zachary High School cross-country coach Julie Fink has high aspirations for this year’s season and a Broncos team that will be focused on “total team synchronicity.” Fink describes it as a simple job for each athlete where they “commit, work hard toward our team goals and make the teammates in front of and behind them better.” In preparation for the 2026 season Warren the team has worked hard all summer. Brady That summer training included 11 ZACHARY athletes attending the Wingfoot RunSPORTS ning camp where they worked with top coaches and elite runners from around the country. Fink said they “returned with the confidence and knowledge to lift our entire program.” Fink returns some top athletes for both the girls and boys with high expectations for newcomers. For the girls, Blair Smith returns as one of the top runners and will be joined by senior Destiny Thomas. A group of sophomores — Malayah Fambro, Maddy Franks and Mary Fontenot — plus track standout Jacelyn Smith and Trinity Killion will round out the team. In addition, Fink expects “breakout years” from Coraline Lawhon and Isabel Johannsen. On the boys side Maximo Gennaro is the top runner with returning leaders Elijah Dunaway, Trent Gomila, Tyson Franklin, Ben O’Brien, Easton Dobson and Carson Southall. Fink acknowledged that Jarrell
