Teen town hall tackles drug use,rec facilities BY VON DE LEIGH HATCHER Special to The Advocate

Donaldsonville teens sat down last week to talk about issues affecting them and their community. The abuse of synthetic marijuana and prescription drugs and how to improve local recreational facilities was up for discussion. It was all part of one of the first teen town hall meetings in nearly 20 years. Sporting T-shirts that read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Product of Donaldsonville,â&#x20AC;? the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Advisory Council assembled at the Don-

aldsonville City Hall on Dec. 22. The Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Advisory Council, which first formed in 1995, was disbanded in 1996. Elections were held for a new council in April. The purpose of the council is to advocate and represent the youth of Donaldsonville, said Tamiko Garrison, the council coordinator. To begin the meeting, Tamiko Stroud, the president of the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Advisory Council, greeted residents and welcomed the youths in attendance. Stroud said that she and her team of leaders want to help create a better, drug-free future for the youth of Donald-

sonville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (drug-related) problem we have is a current problem,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. Allison Hudson, public information officer with the Ascension Parish Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, led a discussion on the use of mojo, a term for synthetic marijuana, and prescription drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a something that is serious and is killing teenagers every day,â&#x20AC;? Hudson said.

Polio survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life story to help prevent disease

BY KATE STEVENS

Special to The Advocate GONZALES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even after his recent death, swamp pop musician and polio survivor Clif Nickens continues to inspire author Mark LaCour to live life with a positive attitude. Stricken with polio as a young child, Nickens refused to allow the disease to darken his life and, instead, brought joy to others through his music and kind gestures. LaCour said he wants the world, especially young people, to know how Nickens endured hardships with a smile on his face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great message right here in our community,â&#x20AC;? LaCour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had someone who was unselfish and giving.â&#x20AC;? LaCour hopes Nickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life story will inspire others through a self-published book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;How

Clif Nickens Beat Polio!â&#x20AC;? Sale proceeds from the $30 book will cover the costs of immunizing 12 children against polio, said LaCour, a long-time member of the Gonzales Rotary Club and owner of Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Furniture in Gonzales. Polio is an infectious viral disease that can result in permanent muscle atrophy, paralysis and even the inability to breathe on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own. The disease terrified parents throughout the 20th century until a vaccine was developed in the 1950s. In 1985, volunteer organization Rotary International developed its PolioPlus program with a mission of eradicating polio worldwide. The program has helped nearly eliminate the disease with only about 400 cases in Third World countries today, down from 350,000 worldwide cases in 1985,

community ‘Teddy Bear’ honored in toy drive Advocate staff report More than 1,000 stuffed bears were distributed to children around Ascension Parish just in time for Christmas thanks to an idea that started after the death of a Dutchtown High School student. Grieving after Dutchtown High School student Claire Carline, 15, of Prairieville, died Dec. 9 in a head-on collision on her way to school, Carline family friend Vickie Hall was looking for a way to honor Claire’s memory. Carline’s sisters, Camille, 17, and Colleen, 16, were injured in the crash. Remembering that “Teddy Bear” was Claire’s nickname since she was a toddler, Hall decided to collect stuffed bears to distribute in Claire’s memory. In a week, the drive grew from a few locations to a much longer list of supporters, Hall said. “I cannot express enough gratitude to God, my family, for helping me with the teddy bear drive, family and friends of the Carline family, Auto Yes, Brian Thompson for assisting me with the deliveries, Ensite Design, Platinum Portraits by Jeri Melancon, AAA Rent-All, Danny Barry, radio station 98.1, WAFB, Sage Environmental Consulting, L.P. and ExxonMobil,” Hall said. “There is also a company who has requested to remain anonymous who has graciously assisted me with this effort.” Prairieville Primary, Prairieville Middle and Dutchtown High schools served as dropoff points and students from

Surrounded by donated stuffed animals Dec. 20 are the family of Claire Carline, from left, Colleen, Troy, Lisa and Camille Carline. Claire died Dec. 9 in a head-on collision. A family friend from the Carline’s Prairieville neighborhood led a drive to collect stufffed animals in Claire’s memory. More than 1,000 stuffed bears dot the Carline’s lawn before they were distributed to area charities. Central Middle School and St. Amant High School’s Allied Health program assisted. A total of 1,563 bears were collected, she said. On Dec. 19, Hall invited some of Claire’s friends to help sort and package the stuffed bears for delivery. “My family and I sorted the bears each night,” Hall said.

STORY

Continued from page 1G LaCour said. “We now have the opportunity to rid the Earth of this one menace,” LaCour said, speaking of the potentially-fatal disease. LaCour, 66, graduated with Nickens from Gonzales High School in 1966, he said. LaCour remembers Nickens as a prankster, although they were not especially close then. “We never thought of him as being disabled,” LaCour said of Nickens. “He never thought of himself as disabled. But he was.” Nickens contracted polio at 11 months old and had to wear leg braces the rest of his life and use crutches to walk. Later in life, Nickens developed post-polio syndrome, a condition where the polio virus attacked his muscles and caused him constant pain. Nickens also needed rotator cuff surgery to mend the overused tendons in his shoulders but declined the procedure because it would leave him totally helpless while he recovered, LaCour said. “Yet, he never gave up,” LaCour said. Having learned to tinker with machines, repair cars and play instruments from his father, Nickens eventually started a one-man, swamp pop band after a career in construction. He played for nursing homes, senior centers and festivals but never accepted payment, LaCour said.

memories full of cards and letters people had sent him thanking him for the acts of kindness he performed.

Random acts of kindness

Despite the pain LaCour knew Nickens experienced, LaCour observed Nickens’ kindness to strangers and friends alike. From handing out tips to the entire staff at a local restaurant, to giving people money for doctor’s appointments or remembering a person’s favorite song, Nickens always thought of others. It bewildered LaCour but Advocate photo by KATE STEVENS he strove to imitate Nickens Mark Lacour authored a book whenever possible. on Clif Nickens’ life. “How did he have this spirit of making others feel special LaCour ran into Nickens when he had atrophied legs again when the Galvez native that were becoming more and returned to the area after livmore of a detriment?” LaCour ing in Lake Charles for many said. years.

Dr. Michael Bodin will lead the discussion on insulin resistance, a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the hormone insulin. Insulin resistance may be part of the metabolic syndrome, and it has been associated with higher risk of developing heart disease and precedes the development of Type 2 diabetes, a release from the hospital said.

‘Life hard to live’

Nickens, 68, died in his sleep, most likely of a heart attack, on Oct. 4 without an autobiography ever coming to fruition, LaCour said. He asked Nickens’ daughter, Monica Nickens, to check her father’s bedside for any writings and Monica found a tablet with just a few words written on it: “Life hard to live.” Those words were a “dagger” for LaCour, he said, but he knew he had to continue their five-year project. LaCour spoke at Nickens’ funeral and asked friends and family to help finish the story of Nickens’ life. The book became a collection of stories about Nickens from the people who mattered most to him. About two months later, LaCour had a published book with recollections of Nickens’ life complete with color photos. “A lot of people just know daddy as a musician,” Monica Nickens said. “This gives them another outlook of him as a family man and as a friend.” LaCour, who had never written a book before, said he learned a valuable lesson from his experience. “Don’t limit yourself,” LaCour said. “You can surprise yourself.” To purchase a book, call Wright’s Furniture at (225) 644-7583.

formed by Ivan Toldson, aka Love-N-Pain. The song, which is circulating in the school systems, describes mojo as a poison. “The reason they say it’s poison is because no one knows what’s in it. That can kill you,” Hudson said. She gave information on the different types of synthetic marijuana, symptoms that can occur after its use and stories of people who have overdosed on mojo. Different brands of mojo have been banned in Louisiana; however, some brands are still being marketed in gas stations, Hudson said. “Just say no,” Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office Capt. Ricky Bergeron said. “It does not make you a nerd; it makes you a leader.” Garrison opened the floor for discussion and asked teenagers in the audience for suggestions to raise awareness of the abuse of mojo and prescription drugs. Participants suggested more teen town hall meetings and additional promotion of the council on social media. Following the drug abuse discussion, Oliver Joseph, Ascension Parish District 1 councilman, facilitated a discussion on recreational facilities. Ascension Parish has volunteer baseball and basketball programs with approximately 380 youths enrolled, Joseph said. “That’s it: baseball and basketball. We don’t have anything else. We need your input. Start fighting for it,” Joseph said. Both sports programs are short on personnel, Joseph said. “The basketball court is in a real bad area, between two nightclubs,” Joseph said. Young people asked for a program similar to that in Baton Rouge, with paid staff facilitating programs. Students also voiced a desire for a water-spray park, a skateboard park like those found in Gonzales and an update to the old Donaldsonville school gym. Garrison and Joseph both encouraged students to voice their opinions to government leaders, saying government requires action on behalf of its citizens.

Tamiko Stroud, right, head of the Mayor’s Youth Council, presents Oliver Joseph with a certificate of appreciation during the council’s Dec. 22 meeting in Donaldsonville. “If you don’t vote, you can’t get what you want,” Garrison said. The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council is meant to bring the inner workings of local government into the sphere of the youth of Donaldsonville, Garrison said. “This is to teach you exactly how the system works. When there is an adult town hall meeting, bring your parents. When there is a teen town hall meeting, bring your friends and peers,” Garrison said. In addition to the talks by youths, Mayor Leroy Sullivan addressed the teens and an award ceremony was held to honor students from Ascension Catholic High School and Donaldsonville High School who scored a 30 or above on the ACT. Award recipients were Zachary Capello, Landon Daigle, Hunter Daigle, Lee Landry, Falcon Mire and Jason Williams. “I am a product of Donaldsonville. They are products of Donaldsonville. And you will be proud to know that they are our future one day,” Sullivan said. At the next teen town hall meeting, set during the Easter break, the topics to be discussed include violence and economic development, Garrison said. In April, elections will be held in the high schools for the council. The newly elected council will comprise four students from Ascension Catholic High School and four students from Donaldsonville High School, Garrison said. “These are your future leaders,” Hudson said.

Somewhere over the rainbow trout More than 2,000 rainbow trout are making their home in the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center pond. On Dec. 18, the Ascension Parish Recreation Department stocked the pond at LamarDixon Expo Center with rainbow trout. More than 1,100 trout were placed in the pond in 2013. Last year, this effort was successful. Rainbow trout are hardy, aggressive and somewhat easy to catch compared to other species. Rainbows need cold water to survive, hence the release in December. They will stay alive until the water reaches 70 degrees. The warmer water causes stress and they usually die because of the heat. The fish will be catchable until late April or early May if the cool weather stays around. Anglers are encouraged to

Use both these methods to double your chances. Cut a 24inch branch from a tree with a fork on the end. After driving the branch into the ground about 12 inches, cast the rod with the hook and sinker out and set it in the fork. Use the rod with the artificial bait to cast all around the area while keeping an eye on the other rig. These methods are simple to accomplish and usually will give you all the action you can handle. Not to mention, this is a great way to introduce a child to fishing or take your kids on a nice outing to the pond at Lamar-Dixon. The walkways are paved; there are nice clean restrooms and even a spot for a picnic lunch. Enjoy yourselves.
