Our Lady of the Lake expanding Ascension services
Prevost Hospital agreement in works
BY CHRISTOPHER CARTWRIGHT Staff writer
While officials work out a potential agreement between the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System and Prevost Memorial Hospital for a new facility in Donaldsonville, the system is expanding its operations across Ascension Parish.
The health system, which operates the Our Lady of the Lake hospitals in the capital region, is bringing multiple new services to the parish including an infusion center and a clinic for early detection of lung cancer In a symbolic move, it also shifted the name of its Gonzales hospital to Our Lady of the Lake St. Elizabeth, a reference to its original name.
“This name change honors not only our deep connection and commitment to the Ascension Parish community but also the inspiring legacy of St. Elizabeth of Hungary,” the hospital stated in a news release. “Despite the official name change in 2018, the people of Ascension Parish continued to refer to the hospital as St. Elizabeth.”
Continuing population boom Ascension has been one of the fastest-growing parishes in the state for decades. Recently released census estimates show a 1.2% population growth between 2023 and July 2024.
Dr Christopher Trevino, the physician executive at the Gonzales facility and parish coroner, said the growing population is a major reason the hospital is expanding services.
“We have to be prepared to meet the needs of the community,” he said. “With parish growth, the facility in the hospital needs to grow with

Horticulture expert shares gardening tips
Community news report
Louisiana horticulture expert Allen Owings shared his knowledge on Super Plants during the Gonzales Garden Club’s March meeting. Owings, professor emeritus at LSU AgCenter, opened his presentation at First Methodist Church in Gonzales with a rundown of the Super Plant selections for 2025, which are gaura, Vermillionaire cuphea, southern indica azalea and dusty miller
Gaura is a native perennial that likes full sun. It attracts hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. The plant is also called whirling butterfly. Cuphea is sometimes called cigar plant or firecracker bush It can grow 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide; it can be pruned back and will rebloom. Bees like it. Southern indica azaleas include three varieties. These evergreen shrubs grow 6 to 8 feet tall.
Plant Formosa azaleas more than 3 feet apart, he said. They bloom for about two weeks. Dusty miller is best grown from September through May It blooms with pansies and violas.
Owings expounded on previous selections of triedand-true cool and warm season bedding plants. He said not to buy vinca now, “Wait until summer when it’s hot
enough.” Petunias are fall/ winter plants. Plant the prolific bubble gum petunias 3 feet apart.
He said if you want to keep Supertunias blooming through the summer, put them in a container so you can move them into the shade and use light fertilizer Dianthus is a cool-season bedding plant that will last until June, he explained. Other tips included:
n Coreopsis is a perennial pollinator plant that blooms from spring through fall. Frost will not hurt it. Cut it back, and it will come back stronger It can be divided now or early fall. n Marigolds need to be
deadheaded every seven to 10 days. “It’s not true that marigolds repel bad insects,” Owings said. “That’s hogwash.”
n Dragon’s Breath Celosia is a “fantastic thriller” in a container, he added. It grows crimson plumes.
n Lemon sedum could be a spiller plant or a ground cover He recommends buying 4-inch pots because “it will grow fast.”
n Beacon impatiens is an improved variety for disease resistance. Cut it back in mid to late summer Note that they will get tall if you plant them too close together Owings is a self-pro-
claimed “salvia fan.” He has had 45 different varieties. He recommends planting Roman red, white flame and black and blue in a pattern. They will get 3 feet tall in full sun.
He advised, “If they get too big, cut them back halfway for a better growth habit. You will get lateral branching and even more blooms.”
Senorita Rosalita Cleome is another Owings’ favorite. It’s a tall plant full of flowers that does not need deadheading. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love it.
“Ruby Red is the best penta for pollinators, no doubt about it,” he said. “It has more nectar.” He also likes porterweed for hummingbirds. It comes
RPCC foundation receives $71,000 from Methanex safety campaign
Community news report
The River Parishes Community College Foundation has received a $71,000 award from Methanex’s Turnaround Safe Days campaign to support the college’s Westbank Workforce Training Center in Donaldsonville.
The money will be used to advance the college’s mission to provide technical and vocational education to students and workforce trainees in the region, according to a news release. Through the Safe Days campaign, Methanex and its contractor Turner Industries, donated $1,500 — $750 from each company — for each injury-free day during the turnaround period. Additionally, Specialty Welding and Turnarounds contributed an

One of the major changes is the addition of an infusion center to the hospital. Previously, Trevino said the closest center was in Baton Rouge. The new facility which opened Feb. 27, provides infusion to chemo patients and others and features 15 infusion chairs in a 4,109-square-foot space.
“We’ve done a recent renovation of one of our office buildings, and it’s really a beautiful infusion center,” he said.

“This generous donation from Methanex, Turner Industries and SWAT is a testament to their commitment to both safety and workforce development,” said Tarie Roberson, executive director of the RPCC Foundation.
“With these funds, we will continue to expand training opportunities that directly align with industry needs, providing students with pathways to rewarding careers.”
The RPCC Westbank Workforce Training Center serves as a hub for hands-on workforce development, equipping students with essential skills to meet the demands of local companies in the industry

gram is expected to open as well to provide early detection for lung cancer Using robotic technology that launched in the network’s Baton Rouge hospital in 2022, the system can analyze small areas in a lung that could be cancer in its early stages.
“Lung cancer is very, very curable if you catch it early,” Trevino said. “And if you catch it late, it’s very, very not curable And so, the sooner that we identify if these nodules are significant in terms of cancer, then really a dramatic impact it has on the patient.”
Louisiana has a higher lung cancer rate than the national average.
According to the National Cancer Institute, the state had 61.1 cases per 100,000 people between 2017 and 2021, versus 53.1 per 100,000 nationally Ascension’s rate falls slightly

Dual enrollment opportunities are also available for Donaldsonville High School students.
“We are excited to support the River Parishes Community College Foundation through our Turnaround Safe Days campaign. This initiative not only underscores our commitment to safety but also aligns with our broader goals of fostering healthy, sustainable communities,” said Mike Nims, plant manager, Methanex Geismar “By investing in local education and workforce training, we are helping to build a skilled, local workforce that will drive future growth and innovation in our industry.”
below the state level at 59.9 cases per 100,000 people. The highest rate in the state is in Caldwell Parish, which had 90.4 cases per 100,000.
Beyond the lung nodule program, the hospital also brought back a comprehensive pulmonary program last fall.
That program, which allows pulmonologists — or lung doctors — to be available on-site, was consolidated in Baton Rouge during the COVID pandemic, Trevino said.
“It’s very nice to have these guys back on campus to help us take care of not just pulmonary care, but when we have very sick patients that need critical care in the hospital,” he said.

“Students get the full experience of choosing a project, developing a list of materials, determining cost and price, choosing a finish and applying and even creating the price tags,” DeLaune said. “They also learn to develop advertising materials to promote their product.
“This happens after they have mastered the skills of building, which they have exhibited through many other hands-on projects before their farmers market projects.”
The foundation of the farmers market and plant sale is set at the school.
“Our greenhouse and carpentry projects we sell at our farmers market every year are a part of our school-based enterprise,” Delaune said. “The students not only gain the skills and knowledge that goes with growing and building everything, but they also gain the knowledge of applying business principles and customer service skills to the entire event.”
While most of the event involved the FFA, other clubs and classes volunteered to help.
“The plant sale is a great community outreach opportunity for all students,” said senior Madelyn Long, a member of the Environmental Science club. “We use skills we have learned in class for communicating with the public.”
Agriscience students have various roles in this process.
“While the plants and projects are the most visible, all of our agriscience students contribute in some manner,” DeLaune said.

“Our Agriculture 1 and Agricul-
ture 2 students plant all the plants in February Our Agriculture 2 students tend to their care and upkeep.
“They also develop signs about each plant that includes growing conditions for each plant to help our customers decide on the plant that best suits their need. They price and label and get the greenhouse retail ready for customers.”
Agriculture students learned about incubation and hatching of chicken eggs and made jelly and salsa to sale at the market.
The event also included an educational tent, petting zoo, games and picture backdrops all managed by the school’s FFA officer team.
“We found that the addition of other activities makes the market more of a family event, and that’s the atmosphere our FFA officers were aiming for,” DeLaune said.
The positive effects of the plant sale has on the community are not lost on the students.
“The plant sale gives students a chance to see all of the opportunities that we can help for the good of our community and school,” sophomore Beta Club member Addison Lavigne said.
DeLaune said the plant sale gives the students a purpose.
“Our students learn so much from this event but the thing I enjoy the most is watching the students develop a sense of pride and belonging,” DeLaune said. “It also never hurts to instill a sense of volunteerism and service in our young adults, and this activity allows us to do that as an extension of our classroom.”

The league was also represented by an 11- to 12-year-old girls all-star team for the first time in five years.
League Director Devon Allen, when asked about the basketball season, said he was very proud and excited for the future.
“Our main goal for the league is to build fundamental skills, teamwork and confidence in our young kids,” Allen said. “It has been so rewarding to see more and more kids get involved in our program.

“Our numbers continue to grow; they (the children) are showing up ready to compete, learn and have fun,” he said
The all-star teams are made of the top players from each league team, this an honor for each kid’s hard work and performance during the season.

Finally, when asked about the success of his all-star teams, Allen was proud of the results, but even prouder of how the kids represented Donaldsonville.
