In their most recent meeting, the district received its 2015 audit, and afterward, Landry said the bonds, which aren’t scheduled to mature until 2037, could be paid off by 2021 or 2022.

The news came like a late Christmas present to Denham Springs. The city gives up 71

‘Star Wars’ fans show up in force for library games

Special to the Advocate DENHAM SPRINGS

The usual quiet and solemn decorum of the Livingston Parish Library System’s Denham Springs-Walker Branch was shattered recently when an army of about 40 enthusiastic, boisterous youngsters participated in lively games and activities based on the popular “Star Wars” movies.

Taking on the various roles of the chief actors and actresses of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” the latest in the long history of the movie franchise, the children enjoyed the afternoon pursuing various äSee “STAR WARS”, page 2G

The Livingston Parish public school district retained its A rating when the Louisiana Department of Education recently released last year’s final school report cards.

The system was one of 10 to earn an A, along other local districts such as Ascension, St. Tammany and Central Community Schools.

Individually, most schools in the parish were given an A or B grade, though Northside and Southside elementary schools and Albany High received Cs. No schools in Livingston were given a D or F. “In a year that included new, more rigorous tests in the third to eighth grades, our students responded by performing at high levels in comparison with their peers from around the state,” Superintendent John Watson said in a statement.

In fact, he said in the release, 78 percent of Livingston students in those grades achieved at least a score of “Basic” performance in state assessments.

Statewide, only 65 percent of students hit that benchmark.

Over a third of Livingston third- through eighth-graders were given a “Mastery” rating, higher than the 27 percent state average.

Older children also outperformed their peers across Louisiana. The Livingston average ACT score last year was a 20.5, more than one point higher than the state average and even slightly above the national average.

Additionally, 80 percent of Livingston Parish high schoolers graduate within four years, about the same as the national graduation rate but 5 percentage points above the Louisiana rate.

The state Department of Education also looks at graduation rates among specific populations. In Livingston, only 56 percent of students with disabilities and 75 percent of “economically disadvantaged” children graduated within four years. However, minority students graduated at the same rate as the rest of the parish.

Schools in Livingston also awarded more dual enrollment credits and slightly more Advanced Placement credits than elsewhere in Louisiana.

However, the state and parish lag far behind the nation in AP achievement.

Six percent of Livingston high school graduates last year scored at least a three out of five on an AP exam. Nationwide, the number was 22 percent.

Watson said one reason for the high score was that the parish schools earned the maximum number of available progress points, which are awarded when previously äSee GRADE-A, page 2G

North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond upheld a 23-year tradition this holiday season with a special Christmas tree displayed Dec. 3 through Jan. 6 in the lobby of the E. Brent Dufreche Conference Center.

The memory tree was decorated with ornaments selected and hung by the loved ones of North Oaks Hospice patients in their memory as a part of the North Oaks Hospice Bereavement Program, a news release said. The trunk was wrapped in a handcrafted skirt made by the late Christine Verdross, a hospice volunteer.

The group held a Dec. 3 gathering to unveil the tree.

Evelyn Jones, of Hammond, attended the gathering in memory of her late husband, Jacob “Jake” Jones, who died at age 88 in October due to a heart condition. Her ornament was a clear bulb with a lighted snowman inside.

District Court, Division B seat, which was created by the retirement of District Court Judge Bruce Bennett. BenHughes-Foster nett, who completed his tenure on Dec. 31, will also participate in the ceremony.

Hughes-Foster said a public reception will be held immediately following the ceremony in the commons area of the courthouse.

Hughes-Foster is the former felony chief prosecutor for the 21st Judicial District Attorney’s

Office. She served for 20 years as a prosecutor in the district, which includes Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa parishes.

She began her career as a prosecutor in Dallas County, Texas, in 1990. Hughes-Foster went into private practice when she returned to Louisiana, but went to work with the DA’s Office in 1995.

“I know that my courtroom experience, knowledge and understanding of the law, as well as the heart and passion I have for helping victims and their families will serve me well in

my duties as a district judge,” Hughes-Foster said. “I look forward to serving the people of Judicial District 21. I will strive to do my best to put criminals behind bars, fight for victims’ rights, and protect the public in all that I do.”

Hughes-Foster is a graduate of Denham Springs High School, LSU, and Loyola Law School in New Orleans.

Hughes-Foster is the daughter of former, longtime school board member and retired dentist Dr. Milton D. Hughes, and the late Gloria Grantham Hughes.

activities that gave them a sense of being transported to a space adventure.

Rachael Bergin, youth services librarian at the DenhamSprings-Walker Branch, said that the program was designed to give children the opportunity to play and learn together what the Star Wars experience is all about.

“The movie is breaking every record, and everywhere you look you see and hear about Star Wars. The children all know about Star Wars toys and costumes so we wanted to give them the chance to tie that in with the library experience,” she explained.

Bergin said that the fun program highlighted the offerings the library has based on Star Wars. The library has Star Wars books, graphic novels, DVDs and movies for public use, Bergin said, adding that an interest in the popular sci-fi franchise could lead children to read more.

Children ages 6-10 were invited to participate in the program from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 29. Awaiting the young visitors were game stations, a table with Star Wars coloring books and crayons and a display highlighting the library’s collection of Star Wars books.

The three most popular games were Knock Down the Storm Troopers, Train Your Brain Game and Test Skills on a Light Saber. In the knock-down game, the children threw large bean bags at wooden cutout storm trooper targets.

The Light Saber Skill Test involved the children in keeping balloons afloat using “light sabers” made of foam rubber-coated batons. This game proved very popular and throughout the hour, red balloons were kept aloft by the laughing children who whirled and twirled about the room.

Children could also participate in the Mini Light Saber Craft project and the coloring

competition from Poe’s works, games and birthday cake.

Video gaming for adults

Gaming night for ages 17 and older at the Main Branch of Livingston Parish Library is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 14. Refreshments will be served.

experience. The coloring table remained occupied throughout the program.

Bergin said that the Star Wars event was the latest in programs offered throughout the year at all the Livingston Parish Library branches. Each branch has a youth services librarian and programs are offered on a regular basis for different age groups at each branch. She said that participation in the youth programs is always good, with an average of about 35 attending each program.

“We try to offer experiences that are fun and educational.

Not only do we bring children into the libraries, but their parents come with them and they get to see what our libraries have to offer. It’s one more way that we are trying to engage all our citizens in the libraries,” Bergin said.

She said that the Star Wars program was a natural, “because everyone loves Star Wars.”

Not only children were involved in the Star Wars fever at the library. During December and early January, a program for adults was offered at each branch of the library system.

The flier advertising those programs read, “Awaken your inner force with a Star Wars movie kickoff party! Play giant Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, create Star Wars stencil art and eat Star Wars snacks.” The programs were well received, a library spokesperson said.

Rejuanné Varnado, a student volunteer at the Denham Spring-Walker Branch who was assisting Bergin with the program, said she enjoys the time she spends at the library.

“This is one of my favorite places to be … I get to meet people who come to the library, I have a chance to learn about new books, and I just enjoy working with the children. I am a Star Wars fan and Luke Skywalker is my favorite character so this day was special. It was great seeing the kids having so much fun. The library is a good place for them to come and have a good time,” she said.

Assessor, YSB team up to help needy family Advocate staff report Tangipahoa Parish Assessor Joaquin “JR.” Matheu and his staff worked with the Youth Services Bureau to help a needy family for Christmas again this year.

New Horizon Administrative Specialist Natoyah Ledbetter, with the YSB, said this year’s family featured two grandparents raising their five grandchildren ranging in age from 4 to 16.

Matheu said he and his staff do not get the name of the family, just the ages and genders of its members. With that information,

his staff then buys presents and gift cards for the family.

Terry Pisciotta, with the Assessor’s Office, coordinates the gift drive each year. She said in addition to donations from staff members, this year two bowling teams — Rack Em Up and Alcoballics Anonymous, from the Tangi Chicks Bowling League — contributed to the gift drive, as well as the Beauty Barn in Walker.

“Our office is all about service to the community. Whether it’s a question about your assessment or community involvement, we are here to serve,” Pisciotta said.

SLU student enhances farmers market Advocate staff report HAMMOND — As an undergraduate studying sociology at Southeastern Louisiana University, Ashton Herron became interested in environmental sociology — including the important role locally produced food could play in a community.

So when the opportunity to see what a local food system looks like from “seed to table,” Herron jumped at the opportunity to participate in an internship with Vintage Garden Farm, a program of ARC Enterprises in New Orleans.

David Burley, associate professor of sociology, works to connect students with internship opportunities. He meets with the students and checks their grades and work ethic before partnering them with organizations that can increase their work and networking experience. The effort fits in with Southeastern’s efforts designed to enhance students’ academic experiences through internships and other partnerships with businesses and organizations.

Burley selected Herron to participate in the program be-

Southeastern Louisiana University graduate student Ashton Herron makes her early morning rounds at the Hammond Farmers Market on a recent Saturday morning. cause of her “incredible work ethic and passion about social justice issues.”

While working with ARC Enterprises, Herron said she “learned so much from the experience, such as how food is grown, processed and delivered to the consumer. It was a tremendous experience.”

Now Herron is assisting Burley in aiding other students who are seeking similar opportunities, both in Louisiana

and out of state.

The experience gave her the background to apply for the open position of manager of the Hammond Farmer’s Market.

“The city was looking for a market manager, and I knew Ashton would be a perfect fit for the position,” said Burley.

A native of Central and a graduate student in Southeastern’s Applied Sociology program, Herron is now working as manager of the market. In

her brief time at the market, she has enhanced it to create a weekly congregation of farmers, artists and other vendors.

Once a gathering of a handful of vendors, the market now has over 25 participating vendors on any given weekend.

Terry Lynn Smith, retired director of the Hammond Downtown Development District and founder of the market, commends Herron for the effort and success of the market, saying “Ashton keeps the market organized and managed.

She is fair and sincere with all the vendors.”

“Ashton turned the Hammond Farmers Market around, from a really struggling venture to an enterprise that could rival any in the state,” adds Burley.

Herron is looking forward to the day when the market has a permanent facility in Hammond as opposed to its current location along the railroad tracks.

“This is now in the planning phase and would enable us to provide our community with farm fresh produce, plants, food, art and much more,” she said.

schools Hammond students lay down the law Advocate staff report

Hammond Eastside Magnet School fourth-grader Clarniesha Morris, who was a state representative for a day, was the star of a lengthy debate on the Louisiana House of Representatives floor on Dec. 10.

Morris answered dozens of questions from her fellow students about her legislation allowing students to use electronic devices in classes. Questions ranged from what would happen if a student couldn’t afford a device and how much they cost, to what happens if the electricity goes out or the batteries died, a news release said.

Her classmates voted to approve her bill by two votes.

“They’re learning how a bill becomes law,” said Rep. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond.

Broadwater arranged the event and moderated questions as speaker of the House.

Before taking the House floor, the students received a lesson on the legislative process in a committee room. They sat at House members’ desks and raised their hands to be recognized for questions, the release said.

“This is like the real thing,” Broadwater told the students.

The students also received a tour of the Capitol building.

Army ROTC program returning to SLU Advocate staff report Southeastern Louisiana University will re-initiate its oncampus U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Program in the spring semester, university officials announced.

The program, originally started at Southeastern in 1969 during the Vietnam War, was closed in 1995 due in large part to declining numbers and retrenchment by the military as a result of budget constraints, a news release said. More than 1,000 students are estimated to have gone through the program during those years.

The program is an enhancement of the partnership programs that developed with LSU and Southern University in Baton Rouge after the Southeastern ROTC classes were no longer offered on campus.

“We are pleased to re-introduce our students to ROTC

military science classes on the Southeastern campus. Increasingly, students are looking for options that include military service, either for several years or as career,” said President John L. Crain. “Southeastern’s previous experience with ROTC was successful in helping to prepare future military leaders. We wanted to make this an easier option for those students seeking to become officers.”

While the program was suspended, Crain said, Southeastern students were still able to participate in ROTC, but had to take their military courses through Southern University’s Navy program or LSU’s Army and Air Force programs.

Southeastern students, however, had to travel to Baton Rouge in order to participate.

The university and the Army ROTC have started recruiting students to enter the program next semester.

Gary Sandifer of Hammond,

who entered the ROTC program in 1971 and is a founding member of Southeastern’s ROTC Alumni Chapter, said he was excited to learn the university was bringing back the program. He credited Crain with working for its return.

ROTC Alumni Chapter President Steve Worth, of Hammond, also expressed his happiness about the reinstatement decision.

“It was a great experience, and I’m glad to see Southeastern students will have this option once again,” said Worth, who served 13 years in the Army as a Black Hawk test pilot. “ROTC taught me a lot in the areas of leadership and how to work with people.”

The ROTC Alumni Chapter has about 35 members and raises money to provide scholarships for ROTC participants.

For more information on the ROTC program, contact admissions@southeasern.edu.

Southeastern’s accreditation renewed Advocate staff report Southeastern Louisiana University’s application for reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges was approved Dec. 7 at the SACSCOC annual meeting in Houston, university officials announced.

Southeastern President John L. Crain said the SACS Board of Trustees voted to reaffirm the

university’s accreditation for another 10 years with no stipulations.

“This is the capstone accreditation for the university,” Crain said, “and I am proud of the strong efforts of our faculty and staff who worked so hard to ensure a successful outcome.”

Southeastern has been accredited by SACSCOC since 1946.

Crain said Southeastern has been preparing its application for the past several years.

“The university is held responsible for clearly demonstrating and documenting that we meet all standards and have the highest commitment to institutional integrity, accountability and quality improvement,” Crain added.

The current review process requires completion of a selfstudy compliance audit that addresses about 100 standards with significant documentation that each standard is being met.

HISTORY? HER STORY Albany wants a shot at state title

Every time the Albany High girls’ basketball team practices, they receive a history lesson.

They look to walls that are decorated with accomplishments from past seasons and pictures and banners celebrating a basketball program that has won five state championships and contended for several others.

They take instruction from coach Stacy Darouse, an All-State point guard for the Hornets who won a state championship herself in 1992 and whose mother, JoAnn Smith, began Albany’s run of dominance during 28 years as the school’s coach.

“Nobody wants to be the team that breaks the tradition,” Darouse said.

“We just do what we have to do to get where we need to be.”

With only two seniors among their top seven players, the Hornets are again right where they want to be in what most would have labeled a rebuilding year.

Albany returned from the Christmas holidays with a 14-5 mark after scoring nine wins over a 10-game stretch, and its SPORTS ROUNDUP visit to Denham Springs on Friday night looms as maybe the most compelling nondistrict matchup of the season in Livingston Parish girls’ basketball.

Denham Springs (15-2) entered the week on a nine-game winning streak, a run that included the Livingston Parish tournament championship.

Albany will get a second crack at the Yellow Jackets after falling 6744 in the semifinals of the parish tournament.

“They’re going to come in with their ears pinned back for us,” Denham Springs coach Shelly LaPrarie said. “We have to be ready. We can’t overlook them because of what happened before.”

Lexi McMorris and Tremeeka Spikes average 12 and 11 points per game, respectively, to lead the Yellow Jackets.

In the Denham Springs tournament over the holiday break, the Yellow Jackets defeated Covington, Plaquemine and Dominican high schools.

“We’re playing pretty good defensively to keep us in games when we’re struggling offensively,” LaPrarie said. “The biggest thing to me is these players are playing well together and doing what they need to do to win. We’re playing as a team.”

As expected, Albany has grown stronger as the young group has had time to gel.

Albany High’s Hannah Vicknair chases a loose ball along with Sterlington’s Jayla Stewart Dec. 29 at Denham Springs High.

The Hornets lost only three starters after reaching the Class 3A quarterfinals last year, but those three seniors contributed 1,200 points and 650 rebounds.

Albany’s success this season has come on the strength of a high-paced offensive attack and a “get-in-yourgrill” defensive approach, with a deep rotation allowing the Hornets to wear down their opposition late in games.

Sophomore Mahogany Williams has been a force in all phases, averaging 15.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 steals. Junior Kiara Johnson’s average is 5.5 points and 8.1 rebounds.

“I don’t think the expectations were very high for anybody but ourselves and the kids,” Darouse said. “I have a group of kids that work their tails off and are extremely coachable. I hope we can keep it up.”

Denham Springs and Albany will both use Friday’s game as a late tune-up before entering highly competitive district schedules.

In 4-5A, Denham Springs will contend with three teams that made the playoffs last year, including 2015 state runner-up Walker.

Albany’s road to a 7-3A championship will likely go through Jewel Sumner, which was unbeaten through 17 games after reaching the 3A semifinals last year.

Denham plays Walker at home Tuesday night to start 4-5A play.

Albany travels to Amite on Jan. 15 in its 7-3A opener.
