Wreath tribute honors veterans

BY VIC COUVILLION

Special to The Advocate Wreaths Across America, a nationwide tribute to deceased veterans of military service, was welcomed to Tangipahoa Parish by a large number of members of veterans’ organizations and their families and friends in ceremonies held in several cities Friday and Saturday.

The weekend began with a tribute to the parish’s veterans in Amite when two semi trucks delivered Tangipahoa Parish’s allotment of wreaths to a waiting group of veterans and others. This was followed by Saturday events in various local cemeteries and was concluded on Monday when the wreaths were placed on the graves of veterans.

In remarks to the crowd gathered at Wal-Mart in Hammond, Vietnam veteran Tommy Muster called the event “a great day for all of our veterans, both those who have passed on and those still with us. We are blessed to live where we do because Tangipahoa Parish is a great place to be a veteran.

You, the people of this parish, support our veterans 100 percent and for this we are most grateful.”

Support shown for the program throughout the parish bolstered Muster’s observation.

The crowd applauded Muster’s remarks and those of other speakers taking place in the ceremony. The two trucks were met at the Mississippi state line just north of Kentwood by state troopers and several dozen veterans riding motorcycles.

The convoy led the trucks into Amite where the welcoming group awaited. An elite veterans team from Bogalusa, the 40 and 8 Veterans, presented the colors and later fired off a 21-gun salute in tribute to all veterans.

Keynote speaker for the event was Louis Joseph, a U.S. Army veteran, member of the Tangipahoa Parish Council and a former superintendent of the parish’s school system. Joseph challenged the audience to fulfill what he called “a mission.”

“That mission is to remember the sacrifices of those men and women who have defended our nation, especially those who gave their lives in combat, to honor and take care of the veterans who are still with us, and to teach our children that it is an honor and a duty to serve our nation when we are called upon to do so,” Joseph äSee WREATH, page 2G

Continued from page 1G said.

Joseph told his fellow veterans that the gathering was the community’s way of saying “thank you for your service to your country.” Joseph said the United States has the best trained and best equipped armed services in the world and expressed his confidence that the men and women now serving in uniform will continue to defend their nation as other generations have done before them.

In separate ceremonies in several Tangipahoa Parish communities the wreaths were presented with honors at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Retired U.S. Navy Officer George Will, of Hammond, emcee for the ceremonies at the Holly Garden Cemetery in Hammond, explained that all Wreaths Across America programs are timed to start at the same time throughout America and in foreign countries where many veterans are buried. Ceremonies are timed to start at the hour when wreath laying begins at Arlington National Cemetery just outside Washington, D.C. Veterans of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, the Merchant Marines and Coast Guard took turns lifting a wreath from a table and hanging in on stands set in front of the audience. A seventh wreath was presented on behalf of the armed services personnel who remain missing in action or as a prisoner of war.

The Ponchatoula High School Junior ROTC Marine unit presented flags for the ceremony.

Distinguished U.S. Army veteran Louis Joseph leads the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance in ceremonies in Amite on Friday marking the arrival in Tangipahoa Parish of the Wreaths Across American that were to be laid on the graves of deceased veterans. In his keynote address, Joseph asked those attending the ceremonies to ‘thank a veteran or a man and woman in the service for what they have done for our nation.’

The presentation ended with a 21-gun salute delivered by members of American Legion Post 258 of Springfield.

Besides American Legion members, other groups participating in the wreath ceremony were Veterans of Foreign Wars, Am Vets, and an organization dedicated to support of the POWs-MIA effort.

“We are one nation, we live under one flag, and though we are many different peoples who don’t all look alike, follow the same faith or hold the same ideas, we are still one nation,” Will said in his opening remarks. “We have survived as a nation because of the sacrifices made by the men and women who have successfully defended our freedoms since the days of our founding fathers. This nation was founded in freedom on the principles of justice and equality for all. We can thank our veterans for the privileges we enjoy today … they have

paid the price to preserve our freedoms.”

Hammond attorney Sam Dileo said “when you go to bed at night in a nation at peace, you can sleep well because you know your nation is being defended by dedicated men and women in uniform who are defending our nation. These are men and women of character.

They are serving in the great tradition of the veterans who have gone before them, those veterans who have sustained our nation and the freedoms we enjoy. I say to those veterans, ‘you are my heroes.’ ” Will said in an interview that the Wreaths Across American organization hopes to place 900,000 wreaths in cemeteries in the U.S. and abroad. The wreaths are made of balsam fir in Maine and are delivered by drivers for Wal-Mart, FedEx and other companies by volunteer drivers. Each wreath should last for about three

months.

The wreaths cost about $14 each and that cost is covered by individuals, families of veterans and funds donated by businesses and civic organizations. Hammond residents will place 252 wreaths on the graves of veterans.

Will said at the ceremony’s conclusion Saturday that this year’s wreath tribute is the fourth held in Tangipahoa Parish. He said that the event has grown each year and that more and more citizens are coming forward to support the movement.

“This is one very visible way that we can honor our veterans and it shows community support for what our veterans have done to preserve our principles and freedoms. This is the least we can do to say ‘thank you’ for the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform have made over many years and still make today.”

Cottages for CASA raises public awareness and funding to support services to children and families through the Court Appointed Special Advocates and Children’s Advocacy Center programs.

“Child Advocacy Services is extremely fortunate to have so much community support.

Because of this, the number of people joining us in our mission

to serve children grows every year,” said Ginger Cangelosi, community outreach director for Child Advocacy Services.

“Whether help comes through lending financial support, donating physical labor, buying or selling raffle tickets, or just telling people about CASA, there’s no way we can put a price on the value of our community partnerships,” Cangelosi said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

the single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.

Most health insurance plans are accepted and usually there is no cost. If paying out of pocket, the cost is $38.

Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted.

Kelly Becnel, agricultural science teacher at Walker High School, was chosen as a National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador through the National Association of Agricultural Educators.

As a national ambassador, she has been trained on inquiry-based instruction, a news release said.

The NAAE held its annual national conference Nov. 17-21 in New Orleans in conjunction with ACTE’s Career Tech Vision Conference.

At the conference, Becnel conducted a workshop based upon inquiry-based

instruction titled “The Livestock Dating Game.” The professional development workshop was geared to agriculture teachers as a tool and lesson to utilize in their curriculum.

Teachers attending the workshop acted as students in order to better understand inquiry-based instruction. Becnel shared techniques on how to incorporate various inquiry strategies in the classroom, including interactive notebooks, stamps, group work and partner highlighting.

The NAAE Conferences hosts thousands agriculture teachers from across the country.

Advocate file photo by APRIL BUFFINGTON Advocate file photo by HEATHER MCCLELLAND Denham Springs’ boys basketball coach Kevin Caballero coaches against Dutch- Denham Springs’ coach Shelly LaPrarie watches the District town during the Grady Hornsby Classic 4-5A game against Walker during a January game. Her team held at Denham Springs High on Nov. 23. won the recent Blount General Contractors Livingston Parish tournament.

Denham Springs’ Mitch Wilkerson scored 15 points against Walker in his loss in the Blount General Contractors Livingston Parish tournament.

Walker tops Denham in tourney

An emotional celebration followed the Walker High boys’ 46-45 victory over rival Denham Springs on Saturday night in the championship game of the Blount General Contractors Livingston Parish tournament.

Were the Wildcats so excited because they had won the annual parish tournament for only the fourth time in 30 years?

Or because they had overcome a six-point deficit in the final 45 seconds to score the nail-biting win?

“Both,” coach Anthony Schiro said. “Those guys are excited for both reasons.”

Walker trailed Denham by 12 points after the first quarter and by nine at halftime, but steadily chipped away until Darius Hampton’s game-winning lay-up, with two seconds left, provided the Wildcats their first lead since the opening three minutes.

With that, five days of basketball at Live Oak High saw the parish’s nine participating schools combine to play 24 games.

The other big winners Saturday were the Denham Springs girls, who handled Holden 4636 in the tournament’s first championship game.

Coach Shelly LaPrarie, of Denham Springs, took home her seventh parish title since 2004 after the Yellow Jackets were ousted in the first round

Scott Hotard SPORTS ROUNDUP

of the tournament last year.

WALKER BOYS 46, DENHAM SPRINGS 45: Denham Springs guard Mitch Wilkerson scored 15 points on five 3-pointers as the Yellow Jackets controlled the first half but was held scoreless in the second half as Walker made its run.

As a team, Denham managed only one point (on a free throw) in the third quarter as Walker crept within 33-31 going into the fourth.

But the Yellow Jackets still had a 45-39 lead before Josh Cook scored on a third-chance putback with 44 seconds left and was fouled. Cook missed the ensuing free throw, but another Walker rebound led to a Dalton Moore 3-pointer from the top of the key.

And just like that, the deficit was one point.

On the game-winning basket, Hampton made a backdoor cut to get the ball back from Jalen Perkins in the post and scored under the basket.

“I told the kids this was going to be a game of spurts,” Den-

ham Springs coach Kevin Caballero said. “We had our spurts early, but you’ve got to credit Walker. They fought them off, then came back in the second half and had their own spurts.”

In winning the tournament for the first time since 2010, Walker snapped Denham’s streak of four straight parish championships.

The Wildcats did it without guard Jacobi Scott, who served an automatic one-game suspension Saturday after being ejected during Friday’s semifinals. Scott is the only junior on a team that dresses just one senior.

“You hate for something like that to have to happen to rally around,” Schiro said of Scott’s suspension, “but our guys really toughened up and we had some young guys step up and become leaders.”

Cook, a sophomore, scored all 12 of his points in the second half to help fuel the comeback.

“For that group being as young as they are to battle back, that’s something they’ll always remember and I’ll always remember,” Schiro said.

“The Livingston Parish tournament is tradition. When you win it, it’s something to be proud of.”

In the third-place game, the Albany boys defeated host Live Oak 46-42.

Dylan Hoyt with 15 points,

Sean Sykes with 15 and Quincy Sykes with 10 combined for 40 of Albany’s 46 points. Joshua Reams and Joe Bergeron combined for 32 of Live Oak’s 42.

DENHAM SPRINGS GIRLS 46, HOLDEN 36: Tremeeka Spikes scored a game-high 15 points to lead a Denham Springs post game that was too physical for its Class B opponent.

The Yellow Jackets built an early 11-2 lead and never trailed.

“We just buckled down,” LaPrarie said. “We know with our size, we can be as physical as anybody in the state when we want to be.”

Holden went on a quick 8-0 run to make it an 18-17 game with 3:41 left in the first half, but the Yellow Jackets regained control in short order and built the lead back to 27-19 going into halftime.

“Denham Springs is a very good team — a very good 5A team,” Holden coach Pam Forbes said. “We never could get the momentum going our way. We’d have something good happen, then something bad.

But we won’t play anybody else that physical. Nobody’s going to have the post players they do.”

LaPrarie said the Yellow Jackets were motivated by last year’s first-round ousting and wanted to show they will once again be a team to watch.

Denham’s roster was composed mostly of sophomores

last season.

“In the past we’ve always been able to look back at the parish tournament and how we played in the parish tournament as how we played throughout the year,” LaPrarie said. “The years we didn’t do well in the parish tournament, we ended up not doing well in the playoffs.”

In the third-place game, Albany upended Walker 40-36.

The Hornets sealed the win at the free-throw line, making 9 of 17 foul shots in the fourth quarter.

Tourney notes

Schiro was on the winning side in the parish tournament for the fourth time, having played on the Walker team that won the title in 1995 and coached Albany to the championship in 2005 and Walker in 2010.

Denham Springs has won seven parish championships in girls basketball since 2004 and Walker has won five. No other team has won the girls tournament during that time.

Albany will host the annual tournament next year followed

by Denham Springs in 2017.
