Tree recycling Museum uses ghostly tales to teach history of Old State Capitol to visitors pickup scheduled THINGS GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT Fireworks are shot into the night sky Dec. 4 during the Festival of Lights at the Old State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge.

Advocate staff report

East Baton Rouge Parish will offer curbside collection of trees for residents, except in Baker and Zachary. Recycling Director Susan Hamilton said Christmas trees placed at the curb will be collected by Republic Services from Monday to Jan. 23. There will be only one pickup visit in each area, so trees should be left out at the curb during those two entire weeks. Christmas trees should be separate from other unbundled trash and woody waste. Residents should remove tinsel, stands, lights and ornaments from trees before recycling them because those items can contaminate mulch and compost. Plastic tree bags should not be used.

One night while working in the basement of the Old State Capitol, Carl Smith said, he was exiting a bathroom stall when the door flew off the hinges and smacked into him, leaving him out of breath. Smith said the door’s hinges are designed to open in the opposite Photo by REBECCA DOCTOR

direction. He believes he was attacked. Perhaps by a ghost.

“That’s the worst thing that ever happened to me, in there,” Smith said. A maintenance supervisor, Smith has worked at the Old State Capitol for the last eight years. During his time in the 168-year-old building, he’s had his fair share of scares. Smith had a paranormal experience before he worked at the Old State Capitol and said he’s not sure who the ghost might be, if that’s what it was. The bathroom incident is the only physical paranormal experience Smith said he’s ever had on the Old State Capitol grounds, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t come in contact with other ghostly spirits he claims are roaming the halls. There’s a hot spot — a place with a sign of ghost activity— in the basement, which functioned as a prison and hospital during the Civil War, Smith said. He’s heard the click-clack of shoes roaming across the up-

per floors. Large, heavy doors sometimes open and shut on their own. The casts of ghost-hunting TV shows have made their way through the building’s hallowed halls, each reporting something different. Opened in 1847, the Louisiana Old State Capitol has stood the test of time, and many know the historical events that occurred, such as the impeachment proceedings for former Gov. Huey P. Long. Not many, however, know Confederate Gov. Henry Watkins Allen is buried in the building’s lawn. Museum curator Lauren Davis said after the Civil War, Allen fled to Mexico, as did many other members of the Confederacy. He died in 1866, and his body eventually was moved to Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans. From there, it was exhumed and äSee CAPITOL, page 2G

Continued from page 1G ida Boulevard provide seniors a way to stay active. The Tea Dance, which gets its name from its afternoon start, draws a crowd of around 100 each week who enjoy refreshments and dancing. Musicians perform “high energy” music, Smith said, adding that the seniors enjoy fastpaced dances and “not that slow stuff.” The dance has been around for more than 30 years and has seen a few marriages and courtships blossom. Despite that longevity, many in Baton Rouge don’t know about the senior programs provided at Independence Park and other parks around the parish. Michelet said a series of community meetings held in the last two years highlighted BREC’s current program and revealed new programs residents want to see developed. She said BREC’s Imagine Your Parks Plan meetings gave residents a chance to provide comments on the future of BREC parks. “We’re always looking for new trends … and trying to respond to meet interests” of the residents, she said. Renovation projects have started at several parks, and residents should see improvements all around town. Recent renovations at the Florida Boulevard facility included updates to its upper deck area. Batting cages and workout areas were added so children and adults can exercise together. The area also features pingpong, video games and inflat-

Michelet said it is important BREC provides spaces where people of different ages can get together “to have a good time.” Many parks will see added adult fitness equipment. “We want to give everyone a chance to get out and get active,” she said. There’s an indoor track at the North Sherwood Forest Park so residents can walk or run in bad weather. The Independence Park center has indoor tennis courts. BREC’s two BREC on the Geaux mobile units even bring exercise to parks and neighborhoods to encourage a healthy lifestyle. The mobile units were purchased thanks to a partnership with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Founda-

tion. LeBlanc said she appreciates the effort BREC put into providing ways residents can stay active. She credits BREC and its programs with “saving my life.” Smith said many of the Busy Bodies members turned to the program after an illness or death of a spouse. Leblanc, Sallie Segura and Janet Davis — all members of Busy Bodies — said they enjoy the friendships they’ve made and the opportunity they have to get together every week. The trio said they plan to continue meeting three times a week this year at the BREC park. “We just love it here,” Segura said. For more information on BREC parks and programs, visit brec.org.

“Did people die in this area? Yes. This building has been here since 1849, so I’m sure there are some secrets on these grounds somewhere,” Davis said. One of those “secrets” is that of Sarah Morgan, a spirit the museum staff created to tell the story of the Old State Capitol’s history to tour groups. In the exhibit, “Ghost of the Castle,” Morgan takes visitors through the Capitol’s many hardships, from the Civil Warera to present day. While Morgan is based on a real person of the same name, the haunting was created for the enjoyment of museumgoers. Whatever’s in the basement might be another story.

Josie Ragusa was known for her homemade biscuits at the party. Her best friend, Isaure Manda, brought the Mandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sausage and somebody would scramble eggs. The family gathers on Christmas Eve to enjoy the same meal, where Jo E. now prepares the biscuits. After the food, the family retires to the living room to sing Christmas carols.

schools Happy holidays at Runnels

Runnels School eighthgrader Minna Ismail enjoys time out between midterm exams on Dec. 15 with Cooper, a rescue puppy from the Baton Rouge Companion Animal Alliance. Cooper and several other rescue dogs from CAA and Bark and Roll Rescue visited with students to provide stress relief from exams. Three dogs participating in the program, including Cooper, found homes with Runnels families thanks to the project.

Runnels students come up with Louisiana-flavored play Advocate staff report

Students in Neena Kelfstrom’s high school playwriting/directing class at Runnels School are working with Playmakers of Baton Rouge to develop a script for the troupe’s annual Spring Educational Elementary School Tour, a news release said. The play, titled “My Habitat is Where It’s At,” will be performed by professional actors in Louisiana schools from February through May. Playmakers Education/Tour Director Danielle Adams and professional actors Maggie

McGurn and Joshua Allred, who are members of the spring touring cast, visited the school in early December to help the students prepare the script for production. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to see the whole process of putting a play on its feet — from inception to performance,” said Kelfstrom, who is the kindergarten through 12thgrade theater program chairwoman at Runnels and will direct the production. The spring tour is funded by a grant from the Louisiana Environmental Commission, which

called for the play to feature an ecology theme and to be written by high school students. The play tells the story of a bear named Bonnie who longs to be a jazz singer in New Orleans. To get there, she travels through the five regions of Louisiana, meeting indigenous animals, the release said. “It’s both fun and educational,” Kelfstrom said. Playwriting/directing class students include Joseph Armoney, Isabel Booty, Jena Bordelon, Micah Danos, Jarrett LaBonne, Will Lurker, McKenzie Mayeaux and Savannah Sanders.

FOCUS

When you think local...

“Flavor SayS It all” When you think of Louisiana, you think of flavor. When you think of flavor, you always think of Manda Fine Meats!

Grilled Ham n Swiss Melt Ingredients: Sliced Tomatoes Sliced Manda Ham, French Bread Four Star Ham or BBQ Sauce Chef Master Ham Olive Oil Sliced Swiss Cheese (or another cheese of your choice)

Cut the French bread in half lengthwise. Lightly brush the bottom of the bread with a thin coat of olive oil. Lay the two pieces side by side, be sure to keep each piece separate (open faced). Spread some BBQ sauce on each piece. Top each piece with sliced ham, sliced tomato, and sliced cheese. Grill the two ham melts so that the bread is crisp and cheese is melted (usually 3-6 minutes). After grilling, slice the two melts into 1-inch slices and serve.
