Some fear higher costs might force moving parades, more from city

BY JIM DERRY

Contributing writer With a larger crowd than usual in attendance, and following much discussion, the Mandeville City Council unanimously approved an ordinance at its Jan. 8 meeting that almost certainly will increase the price local groups pay to stage parades and other public events in the city. Each member of the five-person council questioned the city’s staff throughout the 54-minute discussion on the ordinance, which they say was designed to make costs equal for all groups and associations. “We wanted to improve the special-events process and make it more transparent, so that when people are going through the permitting process, they will know what to expect as far as costs,” Elizabeth Sconzert, Mandeville’s city attorney, told the council. “As it was previously written, you would have a committee, you would sit there and have different individuals providing insight. That could place some subjective elements on it, and this takes all of that out.” While the ordinance does not state a specific cost that groups will pay to hold an event, it was clear that every group (including nonprofits) will pay the same fee, which wasn’t the case previously. “The Mandeville High School homecoming parade — are they going to pay the fee?” asked Glen Runyon, a frequent speaker at council meetings. Sconzert replied “Yes, that’s why they have booster clubs.” Members of Queer Northshore, a nonprofit that promotes “LGBTQ+ visibility, community, and acceptance,” were among the more engaged at the Jan. 8 council meeting. The organization has held its Pride Northshore parade on the Mandeville Lakefront the past two years. Members who spoke were concerned the ordinance could increase their parade overhead by 400%, which

Activist, church leader and political liaison Brenda Palmer never stops working to improve the northshore community. In addition to her regular responsibilities, Palmer is putting together Lacombe’s Martin Luther King Day program inside the gymnasium at John Davis Park at 3 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 19. U.S. Rep. Troy Palmer Carter, D-New Orleans, will be keynote speaker of the program themed, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere.” “I feel like every little town should do something to mark the day,” said Palmer. “People died for the Voting Rights Act, and it’s like

This spring, a group of colorful guests will settle in for a year-long residency in the towns of St. Tammany, bringing with them an engaging and possibly surprising artistic experience. “You will be walking down the sidewalk and think you see a guy painting, and then realize it’s a statue,” Covington Public Art Fund President Lisa Ward said of the collection of 15 bronze statues that will turn Covington, Slidell, Mandeville, Madisonville and Abita Springs into an outdoor art gallery starting in April. Artist Seward Johnson II, grandson of Johnson & Johnson co-founder Robert Wood Johnson, created a collection of statues that depict everyday people engaged in ordinary activities. The Seward

Johnson Atelier then rotates the inventory of 450 life-size cast bronze sculptures globally in private collections, museums and public spaces. Ward said when she found out about the collection, she said she knew the “Art Imitates Life” Sculpture Tour was a perfect fit for the Covington Public Art Fund, a nonprofit organization that seeks to display art in any form in public spaces in the Covington area. Sculpted between 1983 and 2004, she said the collection is making its Louisiana debut in St. Tammany and will be a fun addition to the area for both visitors and residents alike. “We have always had a reputation as a community that supports the arts and draws many artists to live here. This is an opportunity to make that

Parish Council OKs 50 new homes near Big Branch Some residents unhappy over Tammany subdivision compromise

BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

The St. Tammany Parish Council has given the go-ahead to a developer to build 50 homes on nearly two dozen acres of forest off U.S. 190 between Lacombe and Mandeville, following

a compromise between the developer and the council that still frustrated some residents. The developer, Calvin Minor Jr., had originally asked the parish to allow 75 homes near the unincorporated community of Big Branch by rezoning 22 undeveloped acres. But after the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the request, Minor agreed to compromise and sought a zoning change that would allow 50 homes. Council member Joe Impastato said the developer was “extremely resistant” to reduce the development’s

density and acknowledged that some people at the Jan. 8 meeting were “still opposed to it.” But Impastato said he felt the compromise reflected the views of majority of the people at a community meeting that he held earlier in the week about the issue. “We don’t need an overabundance of this kind of development,” said Impastato, who represents the area where the development will be. “But you do need some of it,” Impastato said. Indeed, some residents expressed gratitude at the meeting for the compromise.

But other residents remained concerned about the impacts on traffic congestion, drainage and the character of the area. Veles McGee, a school bus driver for St. Tammany Parish public schools, said she and others moved to the area because of “rural” and “country” feel. She urged the council to keep the zoning as it was. The 50-home proposal is a “ridiculous development in this area,” said Marie Tavaszi, who lives in Big Branch. “To suggest that this is a ridiculous development is

likely would force them to move the event to another city. The 2026 Pride Northshore parade is scheduled for May 30. “We have put on two completely successful, familyfriendly parades. We are a small organization … we are not New Orleans,” said Leyla Hekmatdoost, executive director of Queer Northshore. “The second year was bigger than the first, and all the businesses we checked with were really happy. We paid overtime for the police ourselves.” She said the organization spent $5,500 each for the first two parades but fears a price hike would be prohibi-

offensive, quite frankly,” the developer’s lawyer, Paul Mayronne, shot back. He said there are denser developments nearby. He said the development was on relatively high ground. “As with any compromise, there are going to be people on both sides that are unhappy with it, but that’s probably a mark of a good compromise,” Mayronne said. Mayronne said he expects the homes to be between 1,600 to 2,000 square feet, with probably around two to three bedrooms. Council member Rick Smith noted that even with

the compromise, the rezoning would change the number of homes from around 20 to 50 — an approximately “150% increase,” he said. The plot of land has been zoned as L1, which allows one home per acre. But Smith ultimately joined Impastato and the rest of the council to unanimously overturn the Planning and Zoning Commission’s denial of the developer’s request. The council then introduced an ordinance, which will likely be adopted next month, to change the zoning from L1 to S1, which will allow more homes.

tive for its 2026 parade. Hekmatdoost said estimated attendance for the 2024 parade was about 1,500 people. The crowd grew to more than 3,000 this past year, she said. “We’re starting to plan it now, and we really need to know what it costs because we may have to look at other cities,” Hekmatdoost said. “From reports we have seen, the numbers used for their study were exactly what we have had (in attendance.) It looks like they used us for their template.” Mandeville Police Chief Todd Schliem said the 2025 Pride Northshore parade required 30 officers, which is “about the best we can do,” to meet traffic enforcement and crowd-control needs. Costs to the city, for police alone, could run more than

$10,000 for a parade the size of the Pride Northshore procession, Schliem said. Other event organizers expressed concern, too. Charles Guinchard, representing the nonprofit Old Mandeville Business Association, puts on events such as their most recent — “Sips of the Season” held this past Dec. 12. He said not all events are the same and that some “cost zero dollars to the city, and I hand a check to each officer and personally clean up all the trash the morning after. … I would hope we could opt out of some of these (fees).” However, the new ordinance will change how OMBA and other groups will be charged, and they now will be subject to the same city fees as others whose permits are approved.

Kings Day kickoff gets the ‘Mardi Party’ started BY ANDREW CANULETTE Staff writer

The Mande Milkshakers had the honor of starting St. Tammany Parish’s Carnival parade schedule when they stepped off Jan. 10 on the Mandeville Lakefront for their annual Mande Kings Day Parade. Heavy rains moved through the area not long after daybreak, but the Mandes (and many other dancing/marching groups from the area) swept the storms away with a high dose of dance energy that had paradegoers shimmying along with the troupes as they filed along the lakefront. The sights and sounds of Carnival, from dog parades to superkrewes, will fill St. Tammany Parish for the next two months. Though Mardi Gras will be held Feb. 17, the fun continues locally with a pair of pooch processions after Fat Tuesday. Follow the St. Tammany Farmer throughout the big party, as we’ll feature stories on a number of krewes and the people who help make them happen.

Students were asked to write about the importance of the Voting Rights Act, and Palmer said the winning essays will be read. There will also be music, a video presentation on King and refreshments. Willie Jeter, a longtime educator and administrator who served the Lacombe area on the St. Tammany Parish School Board, will be recognized, as well. This will be the second MLK Day event scheduled for Lacombe and is one of a handful of events to mark the day on the northshore. Palmer remembered that the MLK event in 2025 was the day before the snowstorm that paralyzed the northshore for days, which made organizing it tough, but she said she received a lot of kind words on the program when it was over. “I know people still talk

Continued from page 1A statement on a large scale,” Ward said. “In a lot of ways these statues are timeless — some depicting a Victorian time period but mostly of people in modern dress and performing recognizable activities. They will provide fun for visitors and shared experiences for locals.” She said the Covington Public Art Fund will collaborate with the City of Covington and Visit the Northshore, which promotes and markets St. Tammany as a destination for visitors, on events such as selfie contests and scavenger hunts. The Covington Art Fund will place 10 pieces of the collection in downtown Covington. Visit the Northshore is sponsoring an additional five figures to be placed in Slidell, Mandeville, Abita Springs and Madisonville. Ward said the sculpture gallery also brings full circle an experience she had decades earlier when she discovered Seward’s sculpture “The Awakening” as a young intern in Washington, D.C. The piece is a 72-foot aluminum statue depicting a man emerging from the earth. “I always thought it was such a striking and beautiful statue, and then as I’m

about it. I hate to make it sound like it was some kind of big deal, but I still hear about it,” Palmer said with a laugh. “Now it’s how do you make it better from last year, and that’s my deal to try to get it together and make it better.” Palmer, originally from Lacombe, went to Mandeville High School; she retired after years working with St. Tammany Parish Public Schools in a variety of roles. Now she spends her time volunteering at Sacred Heart Church, where she won the Order of St. Louis medallion in 2024 from the archdiocese; singing in the choir; and working with the St. Tammany Parish Democrats organization. She remains determined to educate northshore residents about today’s political issues, what their rights are and which roles they can play. After attending other MLK ceremonies over the years, Palmer decided to take an active role in creating one for Lacombe, and she wants it to be meaningful for all who attend. “I want people to continue Martin Luther King’s dream and for our young kids to know what he said and what he stood for,” Palmer said. “Don’t let his dream die away.”

doing research for bringing the collection to Covington, I realized that (Seward) was the same artist,” she said. “I was thrilled that his work could be featured here so many years later.” The Covington Public Art Fund in 2018 installed a bronze statue in Bogue Falaya Park and a bust in the Covington Branch of the St. Tammany Parish Library of literary great and native son, Walker Percy. The organization also collaborated with artist Steve Martin for the statue, “Joie de Vivre” located at the Covington Trailhead. “Our mission isn’t limited to sculpture, that’s just what has popped up organically,” said Ward, who is one of the founders of the organization. “We want to do mural projects, bring ballet and theater, basically, open to any form of art that would be beneficial.” The Covington Public Art Fund is planning a “sneak peek” event that will unveil the statues before they take their places around the parish. That event, along with The Covington White Linen for Public Art event which is held in August, will serve as fundraisers for the sculptures.

‘Goth Heron’ near Slidell sparks debate, and, later, dismay BY WILLIE SWETT Staff writer

Birders in southeast Louisiana were in a flurry recently over images circulating online that show what some believed to be a rare, melanistic great blue heron on the northshore. Wildlife photographers flocked to Davis Landing Road near Slidell to document the bird with unusual black feathers, which earned the nickname, “Goth Heron.” Meanwhile, birders debated online whether the bird was in fact a heron or an egret — and whether its feathers were naturally black or were covered in oil. But those questions soon took on a different tone after news of the bird’s death spread on Jan. 5. Greg Capranica, an area landscaper and beekeeper, was passing through Slidell that day and made a detour to check out the bird, which he had seen in photos online. “I was hoping it was a melanistic, rare genetic mutation,” said Capranica. Capranica, an avid birder, called it a potentially “oncein-a-lifetime sighting.” A friend in Alaska had even heard about the bird, he said. But when he arrived to the bird’s location, he found it belly up in a ditch. “I was kind of heartbroken because I didn’t expect to find it dead,” Capranica said. He contacted someone with Orleans Audubon Society, and another person who had shown up contacted a wildlife rehabilitator. Jonathan Roberts, a vet-

A bird spotted near Slidell prompted debate among birders about whether it was a great blue heron, tricolored heron or a great egret. erinarian with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said in a statement on Jan. 7 that he received the bird’s body and he identified it as a great blue heron. Roberts said the bird was “severely emaciated” and “covered with an oily black/ brown substance.” However, he said the bird was not a “typical oiled bird seen with crude oil spills,” and said that “from a distance, the bird likely looked black or melanistic.” The cause of death is unknown, Roberts said last week, as is the substance that was on it. The bird’s

body was submitted to the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study Laboratory for a necropsy, he added, which should provide insight into the cause of death. Capranica said when the wildlife rehabber lifted the bird out of the ditch on Jan. 5, the substance on the bird smelled like creosote. The Orleans Audubon Society also issued a press release on Jan. 7, saying the bird was a great egret with stained plumage, based on its behavior, bill shape and the colors that can be seen be seen between the staining. “It’s definitely not melanis-

tic,” said Jennifer Coulson, president of Orleans Audubon Society, in an interview. She said the bird had a sheen on its feathers, which herons and egrets don’t normally have. That was a “dead giveaway” of staining, she said. Eric McVicker, a photographer who lives in Mandeville who took images of the bird, said at the time he didn’t think the bird was stained with anything and said the bird appeared to be behaving normally. But if the bird was in fact stained, McVicker said, “I think this opens up even a worse can of worms, which is, ‘How did this happen?’ ”

Audit claims former clerk gave $40K in improper bonuses BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

A recently released audit detailed a handful of financial problems at the St. Tammany Clerk of Court’s Office, including a possible violation of state law due to approximately $40,000 in unauthorized bonuses to employees. The audit, issued by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s Office on Dec. 31, focused on the office’s financial records from July 2023 through June 2024, which was the last year in office of former St. Tammany Clerk of Court Melissa Henry. In addition to the improper bonuses, the audit found deficiencies in the office’s accounting and banking practices.

She said she has contacted the Legislative Auditor’s Office to ask if she could file a response to the findings. She said they told her she could file a response, but that it would not be publicly posted.

Delay Another finding focused on the timing of the audit: it was issued a year after it was due. Brewster, whose job it was to submit the audit, said a few different factors contributed to the delay, including her office’s decision to hire a new auditor and difficulties locating documents. “It was almost like a scavenger

hunt to find the documents,” Brewster said. Brewster also said she thought the previous auditor had missed issues with Henry’s office. “We wanted a new set of eyes to look over the previous audits and also look at us coming in as a new entity,” she said of her decision to hire the accounting firm EisnerAmper, which conducted the recently released audit. Brewster also pointed to the fact that that she did not gain entry to the office until July 1, 2024, the day her term formally started. But Henry said “there’s no law requiring an incoming elected official access into the office,” adding that she “provided all the documentations” and “adhered to everything that was required” during the transition to the incoming clerk and staff.

U.S. civics project back for a 53rd year in St. Tammany Staff report The longest-running civic education program in the United States devoted to understanding foreign affairs is about to begin its 53rd year in St. Tammany Parish. The initiative is intended to help create a more informed public. The “Great Decisions” project has been sponsored locally by the northshore branch of the American Association of University Women since 1973, and in collaboration with the St. Tammany Parish Library system, it will again this year be offered in three public sessions that take place in library branches. The program uses interactive, in-person group discussions and assigned reading from the “Great Decisions” briefing book, a publication compiled for the program annually by the Foreign Policy Association. The glossy, fully illustrated briefing book is a collection of impartial, thought-provoking analyses on issues currently of concern to U.S. policymakers, and these articles form a starting point for all group

discussions. It also provides historical background, current U.S. policy and alternative policy options, informative maps and explanatory graphics. Once the eight weekly group discussions end, participants should be able to understand all sides of these major issues and to thoughtfully discuss with others the major global issues shaping U.S. foreign policy and the world, program organizers say. The expanded, three-session format began in 2024, and this year includes: n A Monday group meeting in the Madisonville branch at 1 p.m. starting Feb. 2. n A Monday group meeting in the Causeway branch at 6 p.m. starting Feb. 2. n A Tuesday group meeting in the Slidell (3901 Pontchartrain Drive) branch at 1 p.m. starting Feb. 3. There will be no meetings on library holidays or Mardi Gras. The afternoon sessions will wrap on April 6 and the evening session on April 7. Each group will meet for orientation and briefing book distribution in very late January before the first

regular discussion meeting is held. Register and discuss book options by calling Eileen deHaro at (985) 264-1338. Each participating library branch will have a copy of it for reading on site. This year’s book includes eight topics (one for discussion per session) that includes: Debating America’s Global Role: America First versus Liberal Internationalism; The End of an Era: Trump’s Tariffs in Historical Perspective; U.S. China Relations in the new Trump Era; The Third Nuclear Age: Trump, The Order, and the Bomb; Ukraine and the Future of European Security; Multilateral Institutions in a Changing World Order; U.S. Engagement with Africa; The Future of Human Rights and International Law in a Divided World. Since 1881, the American Association of University Women has worked to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research. The St. Tammany branch was chartered in 1964. For more information, contact deHaro or visit www.northshore-la. aauw.net.

Celebrate Arbor Day in Covington with free seedlings Staff report Keep Covington Beautiful will celebrate Arbor Day by giving away several hundred bare-root seedling trees at the city’s farmers market on Jan. 31 and by encouraging residents to properly plant the tiny young trees in just the right spot. At the Covington Farmers Market, the giveaway will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until noon, or until about 100 seedlings of each of the following species are distributed: red maple, roughleaf dogwood, white oak, willow oak and western mayhaw. Volunteers are needed to help wrap and hand out the seedlings. Anyone interested should email info@ keepcovingtonbeautiful.org

to volunteer. Although Arbor Day is celebrated nationally in late April, Louisiana observes it in January because it tends to be a cooler, wetter month that provides ideal conditions for planting trees in the subtropical climate. With a few exceptions, you can plant just about any type of tree right now in Louisiana. Just hold off on certain fruit and ornamental trees — like olives and figs — that are native to warmer tropical climates, advises the LSU AgCenter. “Planting a tree, whether on your own property or in a public space as part of an Arbor Day event, is a wonderful way to mark the occasion,” advises center horticulturists. “Trees help local

wildlife and ensure future generations have shade to enjoy. You may even decide to plant a tree as a memorial to a loved one. (But) ... do your research on mature sizes of different species. Choose a tree that isn’t too big for your yard and that won’t pose any hazards to your home.” The LSU AgCenter provides free information on mature tree sizes and space requirements; growing conditions and growing patterns of popular native Louisiana trees; and a how-to guide for tree planting and care.

Habitat for Humanity volunteers Sheriff’s Office asks state agency to help to celebrate together in Slidell collect unpaid fines BY JOLIE LINDLEY Contributing writer

East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity works year-round, fueled by volunteer laborers who work to make an impact in the community while coming together in the spirit of camaraderie, and their efforts will be celebrated at the organization’s annual Builders Ball on Jan. 16. “When you’re at the Builders Ball, that’s when you really see the community of Habitat volunteers — all demographics, men, women, young, old — and everyone has a role in helping people achieve home ownership,” said 15-year volunteer Kendra Maness. Maness founded the “Rosies,” the Women Build arm of Habitat, and said the fellowship of the 300-strong group keeps her coming back each year to build homes. “You feed off the energy of each other in terms of the bond and the sisterhood. It’s wonderful to be involved working with so many diverse women and also helping end the cycle of poverty in the region,” Maness said. That energy will be on full display when the organization encourages everyone to “Bet on Habitat” at the annual ball featuring casinostyle games, music, delicious food and an open bar. This year’s event is especially pivotal, in light of vandalism last summer that destroyed two nearly move-in ready Habitat homes, said Executive Director Kentrell Jones. “It was an unfortunate event, but this fundraiser shows our organization’s resilience in spite of the vandalism,” she said. “The homes got rebuilt before the end of the year, and the new homeowners received their certificates of occupancy as a Christmas blessing.” First held in 2009 under the “Home is Where the Art Is” banner, the gala changed to a Builders Ball in 2020, but its focus has never wavered. “Having an event is our opportunity to bring our community together to see our impact,” Jones said. Volunteers of the year will be honored at the gala. According to Jones, the annual event raises around $30,000 that helps cover the upfront costs for building Habitat homes, such as land costs and permitting fees. She

Maness said being able to connect with the homeowners whose houses they’ve built makes the Builders Ball more impactful for Habitat volunteers. She recalled a past gala where she met the entire family of a woman with special needs who

initially had been discouraged from purchasing a home but was able to gain home ownership through Habitat for Humanity. “When she qualified, everybody in her huge family, including her parents and her fiancé, pitched in to help build the home, and they all came to the Builders Ball to celebrate. It was amazing,” Maness said. Jones emphasized the crucial role Habitat volunteers play. “We lean on volunteers. They keep building costs down, and our community acts as advocates to spread the word about what we do,” she said. Maness echoed the influence on community-building and commended volunteers, such as the retirees who work steadily every week and local teachers who volunteer every weekend. She said there are several different builders’ groups, and the ball provides an opportunity for all the unique volunteer groups to meet each other in celebration. “There’s a job for everyone’s ability, no matter your construction skill level. We’re all working under the same umbrella with the same spirit, and we attend the Builders Ball to celebrate the work and celebrate Habitat.”

There’s the $25 traffic ticket dating back to 1985. And a $1,500 fine for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute 30 years later. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office says as of the fiscal year ending June 2025, it was owed $47 million from thousands of uncollected traffic tickets and outstanding criminal court fines and fees dating back to 1985. After spending more than six years trying to collect the money themselves, the Sheriff’s Office says it will now turn over some of those uncollected tickets and fines to the Louisiana Office of Debt Recovery, which has authority to suspend drivers, hunting and fishing licenses and even go after state tax refunds in an effort to collect. Collecting the debt has “unfortunately been an ongoing challenge for decades,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Suzanne Carboni in a statement, adding that “resolution of the issue is exceptionally complicated for many reasons.” Among the challenges: unreliable data because of software changes over the years; a lack of communication between criminal justice agencies about the outcome of criminal cases; and, the likelihood that some of those who owe money have died. Partly for those reasons, Carboni said, the $47 million in uncollected traffic tickets and criminal court fines that her office has on the books is “very much overestimated.” A significantly higher debt number listed on recent audits was also wrong for some of those reasons, Carboni said. In other words, although the Sheriff’s Office says it had 29,514 unpaid court fines and 40,851 unpaid traffic fines on the books at the end of calendar year 2024, the true number of collectible, unpaid tickets and court fines is unknown. Still, the Sheriff’s Office, now with the help of the state, wants to clear the debt. Residents of St. Tammany with outstanding tickets, criminal court fines or fees could soon receive a letter from the sheriff or debt recovery office. The Sheriff’s Office has to ensure the debt is still owed and make a final attempt to collect it before passing it off to the state, it said. The Sheriff’s Office contracted with the Debt Recovery Office over the summer, after it said it worked out a data-sharing agreement with the St. Tammany Clerk of Court’s Office. The Debt Recovery Office also charges a fee to the debtor, according to Jarrod Coniglio, deputy secretary at the Louisiana Department of Revenue, which houses the debt recovery office.

Criminal justice funding? The sheriff’s current efforts come as some parish criminal justice agencies — the 22nd Judicial District judges, the District Attorney’s Office, and the parish

lems. Indeed, traffic tickets and court fines and fees already generate several million dollars annually, which is disbursed among various criminal justice agencies and specialized funds, according to data provided by the Sheriff’s Office. In 2024, traffic and court fines and fees generated about $3.4 million, the data shows. But St. Tammany Parish Council member Cheryl Tanner, who chairs the council’s Finance Committee, said the collections are “not nearly the windfall that we need.” “It definitely won’t solve our problems, and I think people need to realize that,” Tanner said. She said she doesn’t expect the Sheriff’s Office to collect anywhere near $47 million. Tanner also noted that any additional collections of long-overdue debt will not be a recurring source of revenue. “It’s a one-time money,” Tanner said. “It may help next year a little bit, if that.” By contrast, the parish is looking at an estimated $22 million deficit for its general fund next year, Tanner said. The fines and fees do not go directly into the parish’s general fund. The fines largely go to the parish’s criminal court fund to pay for the costs of criminal prosecution, while the fees are dispersed to nearly 30 different agencies and funds like one benefiting public defender offices, said St. Tammany Parish Finance Director Annie Perkins. In general, traffic tickets and court fines and fees are “unreliable and inconsistent” revenue sources for criminal justice systems, said Priya Sarathy Jones, the co-executive director of the national Fines and Fees Justice Center. Fines and fees burden the people caught up in the criminal justice system, who tend to already be economically distressed, Sarathy Jones said. That is not only unfair, she argues, but also means collections are often unsuccessful. Sarathy Jones’s organization advocates in favor of eliminating court fees — the extra cost tacked onto a traffic or criminal fine for doing business at the court — and eliminating the use of driver’s license restrictions as a debt collection method. “If this was reliable and people had money to pay,” there probably would not be so much outstanding debt, Sarathy Jones said of St. Tammany. The Sheriff’s Office says its efforts to collect traffic and court fines date back to 2018, and only learned about the Louisiana Office of Debt Recovery last May. In the interim, it tried an amnesty program in 2023, in which people owing traffic fines from 2005 to October 2023 could have their late fees waived and bench warrants recalled. But that brought in just around $128,000, Carboni said informal tracking showed.

Corredine on top of the world One woman’s as Dionysus grand marshal plea for beads BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer Anthony Corredine will be viewing the Krewe of Dionysus parade from a special perch on Feb. 8. He’ll be in the guest of honor seat atop the grand marshal’s float as the krewe makes its way down Slidell’s traditional parade route. Corredine, a STARC client, will be taking a day off his busy work schedule to toss signature throws to the crowd. He has been a part of the STARC — Services, Training, Advocacy, Resources and Community Connections — organization for 15 years. “I think it will be fun. My brother, Pat, will be with me on the float, too, and we’ll get to toss some good things to people,” he said. STARC Executive Director Mark Baham is Corredine’s “big brother” in STARC’s big brother/big sister mentoring program, and he knows the young man well. “Anthony loves to work, and he works hard at each of his jobs,” he said of Corredine’s current jobs working on cleaning crews at a local hospital, a church and a horse stable. In the past, he also participated in STARC’s bead sorting workshop. In fact, it’s possible

Frisard and Baham, both krewe members, are giving plenty of advice to Corredine, who will ride as grand marshal of the Dionysus parade on Feb. 8 in Slidell. that during his big ride as grand marshal, Corredine could even be tossing some of the same beads he has sorted for STARC in the past. Dionysus’ Treasurer Andy Frisard said he is excited to have Corredine as part of this year’s parade. “He’s ready, he was born ready to be part of our parade,” he said. “We, the krewe of Dionysus, have had a long relationship

with STARC. Back in 2006, we started the process of changing from having celebrity grand marshals to selecting a young man who faces daily challenges — and make it a special day for him.” Dionysus is an all-male krewe based in Slidell and since making the switch, several grand marshals have been STARC clients. Baham echoed Frisard’s sentiments about the con-

nection between the organizations. “The whole krewe has a heart for our population, and it’s wonderful,” said Baham, also a Dionysus member. Along with his work schedule, Corredine also likes to play hard. “I like to bowl, and I play volleyball and softball. I like bocce, too,” he said. As an active participant in the Special Olympics, Corrdine says he’s particularly good at bocce — so he’s taking a break from the sport. “I’m pretty good. Let someone else win for a while.” Corredine’s stint as grand marshal includes tickets to the pre-parade party, plus all his throws are free. His favorite Mardi Gras favors are T-shirts, and thanks to the krewe, he’ll have five dozen of them to toss to friends and family in the crowds expected to line the parade route. “He’s our special guest, and he rides with us at no cost,” said Frisard. “Our members are very generous, and they will load down his float with all kinds of throws.” Corredine is looking forward to his big day, and according to Frisard, the Krewe of Dionysus is committed to making it a day to remember.

Pirate oncologist Saux setting sail with annual party BY SUZIE HUNT

Contributing writer Pirates, scallywags, and wenches will gather in downtown Covington on the night of Jan. 17 to celebrate life and to raise funds to help people battling cancer have a smoother voyage through treatment. The 13th Annual Pirate Party is hosted by Jack Saux, III, M.D., better known in St. Tammany parish as Dr. Jay, the “pirate oncologist.”Saux is affiliated with Northshore Oncology Associates and the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, and proceeds from the party will benefit area patients served through the northshore cancer center. The title “pirate oncologist” is not just used at the annual bash or during Halloween festivities. Saux can be found most days in some type of costume or unusual attire when seeing patients in the clinic. “I grew up in New Orleans and as a little kid, I always loved getting dressed up in funny clothes, especially at Mardi Gras. One year for Halloween, the infusion nurses wanted all of us to dress up in costume, and I came as a pirate. It’s kind of my alterego and it just stuck,” said Saux. The physician’s long, curly gray hair and a wild beard, currently dyed lime green, helped to solidify his signature look. When not donning his tricorn hat and scabbard, he may be dressed in bright hippie threads or something equally unusual. There is a reason for his eclectic wardrobe. “It’s something to draw away from the heaviness of what we do here. It’s for the patients but also for me and the staff, as well,” said Saux. The décor in his examination rooms reflects the same spirit. Featured are bright artwork, framed certificates from local government recognizing his pirate antics and even his kindergarten diploma. He says most of his patients appreciate his humor. “Maybe two or three people over 20 years didn’t like it but it seems to make people more comfortable during their appointment because those visits can be hard at times,” said Saux. A cancer survivor himself, Saux has been disease-free for two years after receiving his own diagnosis of prostate cancer. “I think the pirate suit even helped me get through my own treatment,” recalled the doctor. He’ll be in full pirate mode at his party, which has grown from a simple birthday party to quite an extravaganza. “The first year, I paid for the party, and we took up a collection at the door. We collected $2,800,” Saux remembered. Over the years, the event has grown to be one of the largest events on Covington’s social calendar. “Each year, it’s gotten bigger and bigger.” With help from a crew of volunteers and donor sponsors, the Pirate Party costs about $30,000 to put on and last

That’s been my goal for a while,” Saux said. During the party’s history, other organizations have also benefitted from the event’s proceeds, including Hope House and the local affiliate of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). For the past three years, the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center has received the proceeds and the monies have been used for patient support services not usually covered by insurance. “We want to improve survivorship and lessen the burden that cancer places on patients,” Saux said. Things like dietician services and cold caps to help reduce hair loss are just two items on the list of services made possible by Saux’s fundraiser. The cold caps are an example he gave of something simple, yet pricey, that could improve a patient’s outlook. Cold caps are an appliance that can help scalp circulation and reduce the chance of hair loss during chemotherapy. “If a person can keep their hair longer or delay losing it due to the use of a cold cap, that patient can protect their privacy concerning their diagnosis longer,” said the oncologist. Even after more than a decade, Saux is still not used to the notoriety that the party brings.

“It’s a little weird seeing your picture hanging all over town,” he said. The advertisements for the pirate party include a caricature of Saux’s face and his infamous beard highlighted in bold colors. “I took my granddaughter for a walk last weekend. She was pointing at posters in the store windows saying, “Poppeee, Poppeee!” he said with a grin. When all the plans are complete and he puts on his best pirate party shirt, Saux is grateful for all the efforts to make this annual event happen. “The amazing part of the whole party is you feel this good vibe. Everyone is happy and having a great time. I love standing by the band on the stage and looking out over the crowd. There are smiles and everyone’s having fun,” he grinned. Tickets are available for the 13th annual Pirate Party that starts at 6 p.m. in the Columbia Street Tap Room and Grill, 434 N. Columbia St. Tickets and sponsorship information is available through the Northshore Community Foundation website (www.northshorecfoundation.org); the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center Facebook page; or the link at https://e. givesmart.com/events/LIk/. Tickets include food, an open bar, live music, and the opportunity to bid on local art, experiences and goods and services through both a live and silent auction.

Dance group struts stuff in London Parade ‘Bad Moms’ dance in British capital for New Year’s Day BY LISA VON EBERSTEIN Contributing writer

When an email arrived inviting Bad Moms That Dance to perform in the London New Year’s Day Parade 2026, the immediate reaction was not excitement — it was suspicion. “We thought it was spam when we got the invite and deleted the email initially,” said Alyse Renz, one of the group’s founders. The invitation, however, was real. Sixty-one members from Bad Moms That Dance teams across southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast traveled to London to perform in the internationally televised parade on New Year’s Day, taking their own brand of hip hop energy and local music to the streets of the British capital. Many of the dancers experienced their first overseas trip and had a special opportunity to perform for massive crowds near Westminster. “The streets of London were completely packed, and we were so excited to perform,” said Kassie Miele, the group’s brand manager and head coach. “Our vibe was big, loud, fun and full of personality — kind of the opposite of London’s usual calm and reserved energy — but the crowd loved it. People were smiling, dancing along and cheering for us the whole way.” The invitation was the result of a parade recruiter seeing an early Bad Moms That Dance performance and recommending that they be considered for a future New Year’s Day Parade in Londay. A very long process later, and voila! They were approved and the invitation went out. The trip was organized by parade officials who hosted the dancers for several days of events and sight-

Covington veterans group hoping for teen community service BY DARREN COOPER Contributing writer

Inspired by the national Raising Men & Women’s Lawn Care Service organization, American Legion Post 16 in Covington is looking to put together an army of young grass cutters locally. Raising Men & Women’s Lawn Care is a nationwide charitable organization that sends out motivated young individuals to help their community by taking care of lawns free of charge. Kids in all 50 states are challenged to cut 50 yards, getting shirts for every 10 yards they cut, and then, after 50 yards are trimmed and certified, they receive lawn care equipment to start their own business, if desired. Legion Post First Vice Commander Dennis Charlesworth was familiar with the program when he lived in Alabama. The founder of the organization, Rodney Smith Jr., visited Post 16 and received a donation from the group, and the grandsons of post member Oscar McCain completed the challenge years ago. “I don’t know if we have anyone doing it right now,” said Charlesworth. “What I am trying to do is set up an organizational meeting. I have reached out to senior citizens organizations and the city and people at the parish to see if we can’t get this started again

on a larger basis.” The post is even willing to donate lawn care equipment that can be used for kids just starting out. Those interested are invited to contact him at Bama76MBA@charter.net or call Post 16 and leave a message. It’s not just an activity for young men. Young women are also welcome to cut as much grass as they want. “There is so much going on on the northshore, and I know we have some members in our post that are up in age who could use this as a service. There are people with disabilities and elderly who this service would be very beneficial,” said Charlesworth. “Single parents are another group that have financial and time constraints. I see this as something that can tie the community together in so many ways.” The idea of serving your community — even if it’s just cutting lawns — dovetails perfectly with the mission of the Legion Post. Charlesworth sees it as a natural fit. “First of all, they are serving the community and all those individuals and groups that qualify for their lawns to be taken care of,” Charlesworth said. “They are also learning responsibility and giving back to the community and meeting a lot of interesting people.” Post 16 is one of the biggest in Louisiana with over 300 members,

Youngsters nationwide are being asked to accept the 50 Yard Challenge by cutting 50 yards free to benefit the elderly, disabled, single parents, veterans and anyone truly in need of help in their home towns.

but they are always trying to attract more, especially younger veterans, to join. Charlesworth calls Post 16 the best kept secret on the northshore, and he’s hoping that Raising Men & Women’s Lawn Care service can also raise awareness of the activities going on at the Post. “Our mission with the American Legion is to serve our military personnel, as well as the community at large,” said Charlesworth. “This ties in so well with that. We are always trying to attract younger veterans and it dawned on me that this could be a way to get some veterans with younger family members who might want to do it.”

BRINGING HOPE

Gift baskets go to kids with multiple serious illnesses BY LISA VON EBERSTEIN Contributing writer

A large truck rolled up to A Place of Our Own Pediatric Day Health Care Center near Covington a few days before Christmas, loaded with gifts designed not only to delight kids but to meet the needs of “medically complex” children whose lives are shaped by multiple serious medical challenges. They represent only about 1% of all pediatric cases between ages birth to 21. The gift delivery was organized by Basket of Hope Louisiana, whose founder, Ann Ollendike, had issued a late-year public appeal on behalf of the center. Although Ollendike’s nonprofit group primarily delivers baskets of goodies to hospitalized children statewide — along with gifts of comfort to the parents and other caregivers — there was just something about A Place of Our Own and its special children that moved Ollendike to act — and to ask that others to act as well. “A basket of hope is a basket of toys and games and crafts and appropriate items for that child,” said Ollendike, who also is executive director of Basket of Hope Louisiana. The baskets for children at A Place of Our Own were filled with adaptive toys, medical supplies and therapeutic tools that can be used by the skilled nursing staff, physical, occupation and speech therapists who care for them. Many of the children will remain at the center for years. Ollendike said her organization has served hospitalized children across the southeast for 15 years, but this project grew from a desire to support this rare type of facility that cares for children who are unable to attend traditional schools. “These children are seriously ill, honestly fragile,” Ollendike said. “It’s been on my heart to do something local.”

Jayden is excited about Christmas gifts around the tree. He’s being assisted, from left, by center occupational therapist Alesia Leingang, Basket of Hope founder Ann Ollendike and center employee Whitney Ross, who is also a parent of one of the children. More than $5,000 was raised for the project through community donations, and six volunteers assembled the baskets that were delivered. The effort also included “Hope Totes” for parents and caregivers that were filled with comfort items intended to support those who navigate intensive care routines year-round. “There’s a beautiful hope necklace. There’s a bracelet, a Bible, a journal,” Ollendike said. “There’s a beautiful coffee mug filled with tea and cocoa, nourishing items, all kinds of books and beautiful things, toiletries like bath and body products, beautiful things to nourish.” Among the families served at a Place of Our Own are Whitney Ross and her 15-year-old son Ryse. Ross also works at the center, serving in multiple roles while also offering a parent’s perspective shaped by her family’s journey. “He had a traumatic brain injury when

he was 5,” Ross said of Ryse. A freak accident saw Ryse hit under the chin by a foot, causing bleeding and swelling of the brain that led to a stroke. He spent six months in a hospital and years with limited progress. Today he is wheelchair-bound but takes steps with assistance and continues to make gains with eating and more. Ross said the basket delivery represented more than gifts. “The public is more inclusive of these kids,” she said. “And they’re just more ac-

cepting. ... They want to show their love for them. And it just means a lot. It does. It means so much because it’s not easy, day to day, having a medically fragile child. And it brings on a lot of ups and downs, a lot of challenges — a lot of challenges that you have to pivot your entire life in an instant,” Ross said. Shannon Bordes, center administrator and speech therapist, said the baskets include fun things, but also items that are difficult to obtain, such as sensory items, speech tools that help with oral motor development and more. “They’re medicals, a lot of the things are adaptive, not something that you can walk into a store and buy off the shelf,” she said. The goal for the center is for patients to be able to transition into the school setting. “Our kids are very unique here, very special to us,” she said, as the baskets were being loaded into the foyer of the center. “It means hope for a brighter future.”

Bonvillain takes over Lakeshore head spot BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Lakeshore has a new football coach, and unlike four years ago, the Titans didn’t have to go far to find their guy. Assistant head coach Hunter Bonvillain was officially elevated to head coach on Jan. 7, replacing Brent Indest, who is headed to Abbeville. “You always want a chance to run your own show,” said the 32-year-old about his first head coaching position. “I’ve turned down a couple of opportunities to be a head coach before this one because I wanted it to be a really good situation, and that’s what Lakeshore is. We’re a school that has a lot of things culturally that you need to be successful. I’m excited.” Bonvillain was the first hire by Indest when he took over the Lakeshore program four years ago. Then, the Titans were essentially hiring an entirely new

Covington rallies for a 71-60 win over St. Paul’s in former coach’s return BY MIKE PERVEL Contributing writer

guiding Covington to the quarterfinals last season. Only this season, he was coaching his alma mater, St. Paul’s, which added another level to an already intense parish rivalry. The Wolves built a 15-point lead midway through the second quarter, but the Lions came storming back to earn an emo-

“It means a lot to me,” Benoit said. “It was special to have some of the other 1,000-point scorers here to celebrate. Their support was amazing.” Benoit entered this season just 141 points shy of the school record of 1,891 points, set by Elise Reilly in 2016. The McNeese State signee blew by that mark and sits at 2,162 career points through 18 games this season. “She’s making a lot of young girls better this year and

Fontainebleau dominates boards against Northlake BY DAVE WOODALL Contributing writer

Lakeshore’s Conrad Pichon scored a team-high 20 points against Chalmette.

PJP II senior Reece Arguelles celebrates with his teammates after a 49-46 win over St. Martin’s on Jan. 9.

Fontainebleau sophomore Alliiyah Barnes knew the Bulldogs’ key to victory was simple — communication from start to finish. It also helped that Fontainebleau dominated the boards to grind out a 40-30 nondistrict win at Northlake Christian on Jan. 7. “Our main goal is to communicate as a team, and I feel we did that tonight,” said Barnes, who scored a game-high 15 points. “I rushed a lot of my shots in the first half that were wide open, but in the second half I decided to drive more for better shots, and that made a difference.” Both teams struggled with numerous turnovers throughout, but the Bulldogs (88) quickly took a 12-7 lead after the first quarter, thanks to 3-point shots by Barnes and Margrit Pelto. The score tightened up in the second period as Northlake (5-11) narrowed the deficit to 17-13 at the half. Problems at the charity stripe plagued both teams in the first half, with the Wolverines hitting only 1 of 4 attempts, while the Bulldogs went 1 for 6. Fontainebleau picked up the pace in the second half, particularly on the boards, which resulted in numerous second and third chances from the field as the visitors built a 27-21 lead after three periods. Northlake’s Sam Raimondi came up big in the third period, scoring six of her teamhigh 12 points. The final period was a carbon copy of the third, with Fontainebleau outscoring the Bulldogs 13-9 as Barnes added five more points. Pelto added to her 11-point night with six points to take home a welldeserved victory. The Bulldogs hit on 15 of 56 shots (30%) while the Wolverines made 14 of 44 (32%). “We got after it on the boards tonight,” said Fontainebleau coach Elicia Ocmond. “But the downfall from that was that we forced our shots and turned the ball over too many times. I felt like we controlled that game, but we missed a bunch of pointblank shots and easy layups. Our intensity

and our defense created havoc for them, and that’s why we were able to come out with the win.” Northlake coach Alicia Stickles was disappointed in the outcome. “Too many turnovers is an understatement,” said Stickles. “This is something that we have been struggling with all season. We have a lot of seniority and experience, but we tend to beat ourselves with turnovers and not taking care of the ball. We have a lot of really great athletes learning how to be basketball players, so we need to take care of the ball in the second half of the season. Our strength is our defense, but we need to learn how to take care of the offensive side to be able to score. That means we need to improve our execution, and that’s kind of where we are.” SCORE BY QUARTERS FONTAINEBLEAU | 12 | 5 | 10 | 13 — 40 NORTHLAKE CHRISTIAN | 7 | 6 | 8 | 9 — 30

PJP II senior embraces moment against St. Martin’s BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Pope John Paul II senior Reece Arguelles only had one thought going through his mind as he toed the free throw line — don’t miss. The Jaguars were clinging to a one-point lead against St. Martin’s as the loud home crowd fell silent while Arguelles attempted to extend the advantage. Both free throws hit only nylon with 2.8 seconds left, and the ensuing Saints’ inbounds went out of bounds as the home team picked up an emotional 49-46 win at the Christian Tullis Memorial Tournament on Jan. 9. “Conditioning was a big part of why we were able to hold on,” said Arguelles, who finished with a gamehigh 25 points. “They’ve been making us run, run, run in practice. A lot of players played the whole game. We know everybody on that team, and we wanted to beat them so bad. They beat us by 20 last time, so pushing through to get the win was amazing.” The Jaguars (10-7) led for the majority of the game, but St. Martin’s took a 46-45 lead with 4:26 left. It would be the Saints’ final points. PJP II freshman John Paul Imbraguglio (10 points) scored as the Jaguars regained the lead with 3:27 left in what turned out to be the final field goal of the game. “Our whole week at practice has been about focus and discipline,” PJP II coach Zachary Pisciotta said. “That’s what we’re trying to instill in our players. For the last four minutes of the game, they were focused and disciplined the entire time. The defensive execution was outstanding. We took care of the basketball. When you do that, you’re going to be successful.” The Saints had a couple of chances late to regain the lead, but each time, the Jaguars came up with a key stop and rebound. The win snapped a two-game slide for PJP II. “We haven’t had our full team for a couple of games, so we took two losses, but now we have our full team,

Lakeshore’s Jacob Cole drives against Chalmette. and that’s what we can do,” Arguelles said. “We can beat anybody when we have our full team, so I was really happy with that.” Pisciotta said the game was a “boxing match,” as each team had chances late, but the first-year coach added a special message to a loud, engaged student section. “Shout out to the PJP student section, they were incredible,” Pisciotta said. “They were the best I’ve seen in the last seven years I’ve been here. They were incredible. We want them here every night. The environment was awesome.” CHALMETTE 60, LAKESHORE 56: The Titans trailed by double digits for much of the game before a furious fourthquarter comeback came up short in the final minute. The Owls (11-7) opened the game on a 12-0 run and took a 24-8 advantage after one quarter. The Titans trimmed the lead to 50-38 after three quarters, but never cut it to less than 10 points until the fourth quarter. That’s when senior Conrad Pichon scored 12 of his game-high 20 points as Lakeshore took its first lead at 56-55, thanks to a Jacob Cole free throw with 1:06 left in the game. Chalmette’s Walter Barcellona answered with a pair of free throws to regain the lead for good, but the final seconds were not without drama. The Titans had a chance to tie the game with

15 seconds left, but a missed layup foiled that opportunity. And then, a turnover with 6.7 seconds left spoiled their final chance as they trailed by three points. Lakeshore (10-5) was without three key contributors in Cole Janssen, Cohen McGee and Kris Hayes, but Titans’ coach TK Kendall said his team’s slow start was the difference. “In the first quarter, turnovers killed us,” Kendall said. “It didn’t seem like we wanted it at first. We played soft, and then finally, we tightened up and played as a group. This stretch has allowed us to see who we can lean on a little more as we see if they can play at this level. We definitely have an idea of who can be part of the bench in the last month.” Kendall also credited senior Mason Lomonaco for increasing his offensive production, adding that Cole and Pichon have taken advantage of their increased minutes as well.

building character for our program for the future,” Mandeville coach Melissa Weinmunson said. “Having a player like that has been huge. She’s been able to weather the storm this year, and she’s taking the pressure off some of our younger players as they improve. She just brings a lot to the table every day. She’s making our program better at every practice.” Thus far this season, Benoit is averaging 22.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.7 steals, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. Against Northshore, she was two steals away from a triple-double, finishing with 23 points, 13 rebounds and eight steals. “I always want to keep striving to be better,” Benoit said. “I want to become the best version of me that I can be, especially as a teammate. There have been a lot of struggles and a lot of time in the gym. It’s been a lot of sweat and tears, but it

is all worth it.” A young Skippers’ team started the season 2-7, but they have rebounded by winning nine straight games to improve to 11-7. Weinmunson said that Benoit has been a big part of that surge as she “flirts with a triple-double often with steals, rebounds and scoring.” Her last tripledouble came on Dec. 9 against Glen Oaks, where she had 21 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and seven steals. Two weeks later, she posted a career-high 46 points, seven rebounds and seven steals in a 73-64 win over Pine. “She’s a player who stays in the gym and works,” Weinmunson said. “Her work ethic is impressive. When she gets frustrated in practice or a game, she goes to work so that she doesn’t feel like that again. She goes above and beyond to get better every day.” Benoit, who turned 17 in December, said playing against tough competition is how she continues to improve. “I’ve definitely improved

on elevating with my shot,” she said. “That has helped me so much. I’ve worked a lot on my ball handling. I’m really a combo guard, so there has been a lot of work put into what I need to learn to be a true point guard in high school. I just keep working on my IQ and getting better each day.” As for why she picked McNeese State, Benoit said it was an easy choice since the Cowgirls have been recruiting her since her freshman season. “It just felt like home,” Benoit said. “As soon as I saw them on the sidelines at one of my games, I knew it was the place for me. My original dream was not to go too close to home, and then everything changed. I just want to be in that environment.” But for now, Benoit, who has about 850 career rebounds, said her focus is on helping the Skippers make the deepest postseason run possible.

Three Northlake Christian athletes pick college destinations BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

A trio of Northlake Christian athletes finalized their college destinations during a signing ceremony on Jan. 6. Volleyball standout Khloe Duncan is headed to Division III Millsaps College, while baseball players Max Millet and Luke McAdams will play at Nunez CC and East Mississippi CC, respectively. “I went on my visit in August, and the environment and team culture were amazing,” Duncan said. “It was just such a welcoming environment, and that’s what really set Millsaps apart. It was just more family-oriented.” The All-State selection finished with 446 kills, 297 digs, 45 aces and 22 blocks as the Wolverines finished as Division IV state semifinalists last season. Duncan finished her NCS career with over 1,000 kills as the Wolverines took home two state titles in the previous three years. “Volleyball gave me a lot of my friends and sisters that I have,” Duncan said. “I just love the sport so much. Playing just gets me go-

ing; it’s what motivates me. Without it, I think I’d just be bored.” Northlake volleyball coach Lindsey Donovan said Duncan left a special legacy at NCS. “Khloe is the kind of athlete whose smile can light up an entire practice, whose joy reminds us why we fell in love with this game in the first place,” Donovan said. “Millsaps isn’t just getting a great volleyball player, they’re getting a spark, a leader and someone who will bring energy, passion and heart to everything that she does.” A pair of NCS baseball players took the JUCO route, and Millet said he chose Nunez CC for its family feel and proximity to home. “I felt a strong connection with the coaches, and I felt accepted by them,” Millet said. “It just felt like the right place for me. It’s close to home, so it’s a perfect fit. I just felt like JUCO was the best route for me. I’m not the biggest dude, so I can grow and learn at the JUCO level.” The 5-foot-9, 155-pound outfielder has a .325 career batting average, a .505 career OBP and 63 stolen bases.

Those athletes are, from left, Max Millet (Nunez Community College, baseball), Khloe Duncan (Millsaps, volleyball) and Luke McAdams (East Mississippi Community College, baseball). Northlake first-baseman McAdams said the choice to play at East Mississippi CC was an easy one. “I think EMCC is just what is best for me and my family and what God has in store for me,”

McAdams said. “It was definitely a journey with recruiting. A lot of travel and phone calls, and I think this is what is best for me. I think JUCO is a perfect place to get your college experience, ball out

and get better and stronger.” The 6-foot-3, 225-pound McAdams, who started as a soccer player in his youth, has a .391 career batting average and .690 on-base percentage.

PJP II golfer Pizza headed to Shelton State in Alabama BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Pope John Paul II senior Gus Pizza played baseball throughout his life. Then, one day, the 5-foot-10 athlete was “at home bored and decided to play a round of golf.” It was a fateful moment of boredom that shaped his future. Pizza is headed to Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to play golf. “It’s really exciting, and it means a lot,” Pizza said. “It’s a pretty crazy story because I played baseball and football. Two years ago, after my sophomore season of baseball, I made the decision to pursue playing golf, even though I really didn’t play golf.” When he first started playing a few years ago, he shot in the low 90s, but now he shoots in the 74-75 range when he doesn’t break par. “When I started to play golf

I also realized that I wasn’t half bad for someone who had never played before. I thought maybe I could make something out of it, and that I enjoyed it a lot. I decided that I would give it a try,” Pizza said “I never looked back. I just played every single day and worked my butt off to get better. It means a lot to see my hard work pay off. I just love the game, so to be able to go to the next level and see

how far it is going to take me is exciting.” Pizza said the Bucs got on his radar because a golfing buddy attends the school. Shelton State reached out last February, and the rest is history. “It’s just a really good program, a really good school and a really good area,” Pizza said. “I like the direction the team is headed, so it’s a great spot. Knowing someone there already was a plus, so it was really a no-brainer.”

dominated with a 21-2 technical fall victory in the finals. “I’m a very funky wrestler,” Smith said. “You’ll see some moves that you’ve never seen before. I’m just trying to have fun every time on the mat.” Sellers is one of the top-ranked wrestlers at 132 in the state, and that showed as he outlasted Sulphur’s Carson Thibodeaux for an 11-8 victory in the finals. “I like to get in my attacks and score points in every position,” Sellers said. “I thought I was able to do that in all my matches. I just focused on staying calm and in the moment. I kept my head on straight and trusted in my abilities and my training.” Sellers started wrestling in middle school, following in his father’s footsteps; his father wrestled in Ohio in high school. Sellers said consistency is the key to his success, adding that he enjoys the sport’s taxing nature. “The sport is unforgiving,” Sellers said.

“If you go out there and you mess up, a good opponent will capitalize and beat you with it. If you go out there and capitalize on other people’s mistakes, you will win a lot of matches. It’s unforgiving in that if you outwork people, the results will usually reflect that.” Senior Nick Stan was the other podium finisher as he placed fourth at 150. The Bulldogs finished fifth in team scoring. Fontainebleau continued its season with an impressive tri-meet win over Northshore (63-13) and Pearl River (82-0) on Jan. 7. Wooley said the Bulldogs are young, but with three returning state placers in Smith, Sellers and Stan, he likes the way his team is improving with the Louisiana Classic (Jan. 16-17) and St. Tammany Parish Championships (Jan. 24) still on the calendar. “Our top guys are tough and winning a lot of matches as we try to develop some of the younger guys,” Wooley said. “It’s been a good season so far, and we expect everyone to keep improving.” The LHSAA Wrestling State Tournament is set for Feb. 6-7 at the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City.

es over the past four seasons. “I’ve always had some similar philosophies with Coach Indest, even before working for him,” Bonvillain said. “Working for him really solidified some of the things that I believe. Attitude, effort, toughness and discipline in a football team are big. In high school, it’s about being good at the simple things.” Bonvillain is a Lafayette

High graduate who earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Louisiana. He spent six years at UL-Lafayette as a student and then graduate assistant before serving as the offensive coordinator at Lafayette High for three years. He was an assistant coach at Breaux Bridge for two seasons before heading to Lakeshore four years ago.

St. Scholastica 5-foot-7 shooting guard Victoria Darrah has called basketball her first love since age 5. The sport has paid her back in spades as the senior registered her 1,000th career point on Dec. 20 against Kenner Discovery. Darrah wasn’t aware that she was within 17 points of the milestone, but by game’s end, she accomplished one of her dreams. With the game winding down, Darrah talked about the shot that secured the milestone. “I realized I was getting close. With only nine seconds left, I drove the ball up-court and hit a short floater in the lane. Coach DJ (Dauphin) called a timeout, and I was able to give my parents (Shawn and Becky) a big hug before enjoying congratulations from my teammates. It was truly special,” Darrah said. SSA seventh-year coach DJ Dauphin describes Darrah as a hustler, who plays with high-energy as she constantly battles through double-teams during games. “Victoria enjoys her leadership role and absolutely loves her teammates, being the Doves’ voice on the court. Having graduated four seniors last season, who were a very integral part of our program, it was extremely important for her to excel,” Dauphin said. “Her biggest attribute is doing whatever it takes for the team’s success, and

Bonvillain said he plans to keep a similar offensive philosophy while putting his own spin on the unit. “I told the team that we’re going to master the simple and attack the difficult,” he said. “That’s our mindset. Anybody can do a proper rep. Anybody can take one step. Now, it is taking that good step when you’re against an opponent where you might be outmatched a

she does a tremendous job of keeping her teammates involved. In addition to carrying the scoring load, she’s concentrating on rebounding, taking it on as a personal challenge. Darrah was honored for her milestone during the Doves’ first home game since reaching the mark. SSA was on the short end of a 55-38 score to Mount Carmel on Jan. 6, but Darrah delivered her usual consistent game, leading the Doves with 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals. “I’ve always had the goal since the eighth grade to score a thousand points,” Darrah said. “When I put my mind to something or set a goal, I work extremely hard to achieve it. Scoring my 1,000th point means an awful lot to me. I remember wanting to start as an eighth grader, and I put in the work, earning my spot. I’m grateful to my teammates and coaches.” Darrah credited former teammates Addison Pontiff and Emilee Duet for helping her growth as a player. Her career numbers stand at 1,113 points, 655 rebounds, 277 steals and 231 assists as she’s focused on helping the Doves earn another playoff berth, which would be her fifth straight. Darrah committed to Spring Hill College the same day that she hit 1,000 points. “I toured the campus back in August, and I really liked the coaches and the campus atmosphere. It’s somewhat similar to SSA,” she said.

little bit. If you do the simple things right, you’re going to have a fighting chance.” Lakeshore Principal April Jarrell said the choice to hire Bonvillain was an easy one. “Coach Bonvillain moved here four years ago to join Coach Indest’s staff and has been ‘all in’ for Lakeshore since day one,” she said. “Having served on my administrative team for the

past two years, I have witnessed firsthand the exceptional leadership qualities he possesses. It is an honor to hire Coach Bonvillain for his first head football coaching position, and I know he will continue to maintain the strong standards of toughness and discipline that Titan football is known for.” Bonvillain is married to Ainslee Bonvillain, and they have one daughter, Eloise.

Drake, Francis William 'Frank'

Deacon Francis “Frank” William Drake, of Lacombe, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025, at the age of 88. He was born on September 29, 1937, in Chestertown, New York, to the late Eliza‐ beth and William Drake. Frank's journey through life was one of unwavering commitment to his family, his country, and his faith. He was a loving husband to his late spouse, Julia Drake, for 58 years, and to‐ gether they raised a family of three children: Robert "Bill" Drake (Lori), Michael Drake (Angie), and Mary Kittel (Kern). His legacy to flourish continued through his 11 grandchil‐ dren: Brett, Timmy, Eric, Kristen, and Mark Francis, Harry (Lisa), Brian (Mar‐ cell), Sammy, and Andriana Richard (Nick), Amanda Pe‐ titjean (Pete), and Eliza‐ beth "Lizzie" Kittel, as well as his seven great-grand‐ Aiden, Julia, children: Emily, the late Riley, Ellen, Molly, and Drake Kittel. Frank was the last surviv‐ ing brother of his siblings, predeceased by Rosanna Tennyson, Pauline Durkee, Catherine Moffit, Agnes Tennyson, and Josephine Eason, leaving behind his sister, Virginia Drake. He also leaves behind a host of extended family mem‐ bers and friends, all of whom he loved greatly. Frank honorably served his country for 20 years in the United States Navy, a tenure that instilled in him the virtues of discipline and patriotism. His postmilitary career was equally distinguished, having re‐ tired as a Metrologist from Lockheed Martin and previ‐ ously working at Ford Motor Company. His work ethic was unparalleled, and his contributions to the industry were signifi‐ cant. In his spiritual life, Frank was a beacon of light, serving as a Deacon at St. John of the Cross and Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Churches. His faith was the cornerstone of his existence, guiding him in his roles as a Chap‐ lain for Notre Dame Hos‐ pice, a member of the Knights of Columbus, and a hospice volunteer. His ded‐ ication to service was fur‐ ther exemplified through his involvement with the Antonians at Sts.
