Surfer’s reply to message in a bottle a high-water mark for science class BY ANDREW CANULETTE Special to the Advocate

Many kids have stuck a message in a bottle and tossed it into the water, hoping to get a note back from some far away land. Most never get a response. Josh Bearden did. As part of a science experiment at Cedarwood School in Mandeville, Bearden’s fourthgrade class placed notes inside of glass bottles to learn

about the currents of the Gulf Stream and the Gulf Loop. About 30 students took part in the project during the fall of 2014, and science teacher Melissa Hardesty had her husband (a boat captain out of Venice) place half of the bottles in the Gulf Loop. The other half were dropped into the Gulf Stream last Thanksgiving — about 50 miles offshore of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, where Hardesty’s family lives. Bearden’s bottle floated near-

ly 3,000 miles to the Azores, off the western coast of Portugal, where it was found by Cesar Lorenco. Lorenco discovered the bottle while surfing off the coast of Terceria Island. Lorenco found the note inside, which asked that whoever found the message contact the school and let them know it had been located. Lorenco contacted the school via social media a couple of weeks ago, meaning that the message in a bottle took near-

ly a year to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Lorenco also sent a photo of himself holding the bottle while posing next to his surfboard “This was just incredible to get the message from Cesar,” Hardesty said. “Relationships have happened over it. I’ve done this project with the kids since I moved from North Carolina, and we plead with people (in the notes) to contact us if äSee MESSAGE, page 3G

‘Soldier’s Story’ has updated twist In time for Veterans Day, the Covington-based Prodigal Players premiered their musical drama, “The Soldier’s Story,” at Tulane University, then took the show to Slidell Little Theatre and Christ Episcopal’s Third Sunday concert series. But there’s still time to catch two more performances on the North Shore at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Greater Covington Center, 317 N. Jefferson Ave. The retelling of Igor Stravinsky’s 1918 musical drama “L’Histoire du soldat” was created by the Prodigal Players’ founder Terrance Mahady in collaboration with Robert Jahncke. Stravinsky’s story is about a soldier who returns home on leave and encounters the devil, who makes him an offer he can’t refuse. In the Prodigal Players’ contemporary remake, the soldier is a young fiddler from Thibodaux who has joined the Marines to pay off his debt from attending music school. Jahncke, who rewrote the narration, moves the drama from post-World War I Russia to today’s Afghanistan. Mahady, a drummer, arranger and composer, brings in zydeco and funk, rap and more, all performed by live musicians on stage as the drama unfolds. Even the devil has updated tactics and uses a drone to track the soldier. Bill Larsen-Ruffin plays the devil, Luke Halpern plays the soldier, and Ashley Krieger plays the soldier’s girlfriend. Julie Generes directs the drama and choreography with assistance from Melany Graham. Jahncke narrates the story. It’s a role he played almost 50 years ago in a production of the original for the Alliance Francaise of New Orleans. “I learned French, phonetically” for the role, he said. Jahncke has a long history in North Shore theater circles, as does Mahady. He calls Mahady “a genius musician.” äSee TIMES, page 3G

St. Margaret Mary celebrates a half-century of community BY ANDREW CANULETTE Special to the Advocate

When Slidell experienced one of its largest growth spurts in the early 1960s, it quickly became evident that there would be a need for more infrastructure — roads, schools, shopping outlets and the like. It also was a clarion call for more churches in the area. Thus, St. Margaret Mary Parish was born. What began as a small church community on Robert Road in north Slidell has swelled to include more than 1,200 families, according to latest estimates. The parish is celebrating its 50th anniversary beginning this year. A Mass was held Aug. 16 to commemorate the anniversary, and numerous other events are planned well into 2016.

The original footprint of St. Margaret Mary Parish included 14 acres, which was purchased by the Archdiocese of New Orleans for just more than $87,000. The heavily-treed property was cleared, in large part, and school began in 1966. The campus at the time was composed of 12 classrooms, a library and an administrative area, which all were built for just under $350,000. Now, there’s a much larger school, church, rectory and evangelical center, as well as outreach programs for the entire community. Masses were held in the school cafeteria until the church building and chapel were completed on Christmas Day in 1976, said pastoral secretary Renee Lemoine. Archbishop Gregory Aymond celebrated the anniversary Mass in August, which was attended by numerous religious faithful, several Slidell mayors (past and present) who are parishioners, as well as hundreds of people who go to St. Margaret Mary each Sunday. äSee FANTASTIC, page 8G

Masses were first held in St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Slidell on Christmas Day 1976, almost a decade after the school was up and running.

Holidays provide time for running, baseball camp REC & LEISURE ANDREW CANULETTE

Road racing and baseball don’t have much in common, but there are upcoming events in each sport that should be of great interest to local athletes. The St. Paul’s Cross Country

Christmas Run will be held Dec. 5 in Covington. There will be a 5-kilometer race, as well as a 1-mile fun run (led by Santa Claus, himself, no doubt.) The 1-miler will begin at 8 a.m. with the 5K following at 8:30 a.m. The races are fundraisers for the excellent St. Paul’s School prep cross country team. Local running club The

15th Street Flyers produces the annual event. The races start and finish at Hunter Stadium on St. Paul’s campus, 917 S. Jahncke Ave. The courses wend through scenic old Covington — a great neighborhood for running. Awards will be presented in numerous age groups, and a Spirit Award will go to the school that has the most race

participants. There also is an award for the person with the best holiday costume, and all entrants 16 or younger are eligible to win a bicycle. Cash awards of $100 will be given to the top man and woman in the 5K, with $50 prizes for those who finish second. If you register before Nov. 28, $25 registration also gets you a long-sleeved race

shirt. Cost is $15 with a shortsleeved T-shirt. On race day, cost with long-sleeve shirt is $30, $20 short sleeves. If you’d rather pass on the shirt, you can register to run (on race day only) for $15. Race-day registration will begin at 7 a.m. To register by mail, download a form online at äSee CANULETTE, page 4G

Unique Katrina artwork will highlight Habitat fundraiser Ten years ago, shortly after Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast and Hurricane Rita trailed shortly behind, the city of Slidell received a box in the mail from Lunenburg, Mass. Inside were dozTAMMANY ens of handwritTRACKER ten letters from ABBY students attendDONALDSON ing Lunenburg Primary School, 1,500 miles away. The letters featured drawings, prayers and uplifting words from sentimental young students: “Don’t give up hope.” “Put on a sunshiny face.” “You will soon have big houses.” “We are all so sorry about you-know-what.” “It was hope in a box,” said Kim Bergeron, explaining how the cards gave everyone a reason to smile. Bergeron is on the art auction committee at East. St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity. Now, 10 years later, Bergeron and her co-workers have man-

aged to track down the students who wrote those letters in 2005 and thank them. And the students are incorporated into Bergeron’s artwork dedicated to the rebirth of the city. “It’s a really cool, full-circle moment,” said Bergeron. Titled “Rebirth,” Bergeron’s multimedia work is a rebirth tree made up of hundreds of paper leaves, each baring signatures and words of hope. The leaves are signed by the now-teenage students from Lunenburg Primary School, as well as celebrities such as Tony Hawk, Ian Somerhalder and Ted Nugent, and supporters from across the country and the world. “The creation of this work is symbolic of not looking back, but looking forward and celebrating 10 years of recovery and rebirth and renewal,” Bergeron said. One more signature was recently added to the artwork when Habitat for Humanity received a manila envelope in the mail with the White House address stamped on the front. In-

side was a document featuring President Obama’s remarks on the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina at the Andrew P. Sanchez Community Center in New Orleans. The front page of the document sported the presidential seal, and next to it is President Obama’s handwritten signature. The work of art, along with the president’s signed document, will be one of more than 100 pieces up for auction at the Home Is Where the Art Is fundraiser, from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday at the Northshore Harbor Center, located at 100 Harbor Center Blvd. in Slidell. The event will include a live performance by Overboard, food catered by Patton’s, an open bar and silent and live auctions. With more than 400 people in attendance in previous years, tickets should be purchased in advance by calling (985) 6390656. Tickets are $50 per person or $75 per couple. Proceeds benefit East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is an

Colleen Dale, the best table topics responder, discussed how she thought she would have survived the health care system of the early 1900s.

Bearden, who at 10 is now in the fifth grade, said the science project has been one of the more exciting things heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very surprised (to hear from Lorenco,) and I feel lucky,â&#x20AC;? Bearden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first one to be found that far away and for us to be contacted. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an accomplishment.â&#x20AC;?

We focused their attention on that, and it worked.â&#x20AC;? For his part, Bearden says he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if more of his classmatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bottles are found overseas. He predicted his would land in Morocco, but it hit the Azores, instead. He thinks a fellow Cedarwood student could be as lucky as him soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they heard mine was found, they started thinking theirs would be found,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because all these bottles were let out at the same time, theirs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be far behind.â&#x20AC;?

Geaux Hard Baseball Camp

December certainly is not baseball season, but it is a time for holiday camps that allow young players to sharpen their athletic skills while school is out. The Geaux Hard Baseball Camp is one such gathering. It will be held Dec. 19 from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge.

Concerned Citizens of St. Tammany Recommends Rejection of all Home Rule Charter Ballot Proposals Reasons: The Home Rule Charter (HRC) change process was dominated by elected officials. First on the HRC Committee by the two Councilmen on the Committee and again at the Council itself. Individual citizen recommendations and those of organizations (CCST among them) were largely rejected by a process corrupted by the arrogance of “we know what’s best” exhibited by elected officials. The proposed changes do nothing to require “real” openness, transparency and effective oversight in St. Tammany Parish Government. The proposed changes do not allow any citizen to bring up any subject at a Parish Council meeting. The proposed changes do nothing to address the highest property tax structure in the state. The proposed changes do nothing to address the multitude of boards and commissions that are costly and inefficient holdovers from a rural, Police Jury governed St. Tammany Parish. The proposed changes reject the District Attorney’s recommendation to the HRC Committee and the Council regarding attorney’s for the Council. The proposed changes effectively remove the DA’s oversight and advice on the legal implications of Council actions, including proposed ordnances or laws. The proposed changes do nothing to strengthen citizens’ property rights, nor do they prevent arbitrary, Council approved spot zoning projects and proposals that directly impact property values and quality of life. The proposed changes do nothing to require an open and effective review process of the numerous “economic development initiatives” and grants. All of these typically have direct implications on taxpayer money. In summary: The proposed Home Rule Charter is reflective of a flawed, top-down, elected official process that voters will have to live with for 10 years if approved. What is needed is a comprehensive, bottom-up process that creates a new HRC for an open and tax efficient 21st Century STP Government. Respectfully, CCST Board of Directors

St. Tammany schools receive CPR training kits Advocate staff report Students at Mandeville, Covington and Fontainebleau high schools will receive CPR training prior to graduation using kits donated by Poolcorp. The CPR training is mandated by legislation passed by the Louisiana Legislature in 2014 with support from the American Heart Association. The Burke Cobb Act will put 35,000 trained lifesavers in Louisiana each year. The CPR in Schools train-

ing kit empowers students to learn the core skills of CPR in less than 30 minutes, and it teaches AED skills and choking relief. The kit is portable and reusable. The CPR in Schools training kit was developed by the American Heart Association and incorporates the latest science. Nearly 424,000 people have sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital every year, and only 10.4 percent survive. Given right away, CPR doubles or triples survival rates.

American Girl Fashion Show

Paula Johnson, Our Lady of the Lake Principal Frank Smith and Assistant Principal Vita Dickens

Our Lady of the Lake School in Mandeville recently hosted its annual fundraiser, the American Girl Fashion Show. The gymnasium on campus was transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with large evergreen trees decked with white twinkle lights standing in every corner. Tables were decorated with white linens and matching bouquets of roses with soft candlelight. The unique event helped the young guests celebrate being a girl, both yesterday and today, through a colorful presentation of historical and contemporary fashions. In addition, the guests were able to see firsthand how clothing has changed over the years to reflect history, culture and individual styles. Paula Smith served as the coordinator for the models, and the entire faculty was on hand to volunteer as wait staff for the patrons. Frank Smith is principal, and Vita Dickens is assistant principal of the Mandeville school. Forty-nine young women, all students at Our Lady of the Lake, modeled the latest American Girl fashions, many sporting matching outfits with their American Girl dolls. Young guests in the audience also brought their favorite dolls, including Kaya, Josefina, Addy, Samantha, Rebecca,

FANTASTIC

Continued from page 1G Also this year, an alumni gathering was held during the popular Slidell Food and Fun Fest, which the parish hosts annually. Tentative plans also call for a dinner dance, a commemoration of Catholic Schools Week, a parish picnic, a musical reception and a closing Mass with Archbishop Aymond next August. Bobby Ohler has been a Catholic school educator for more than 40 years and has been principal at St. Margaret Mary School for the past 25 years. He said there have been many highlights during his career at the Slidell-based parish, including being named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence and being at the vanguard of computer technology for students. But what he thinks of most often in describing his quartercentury at St. Margaret Mary is the sense of community

that has been built around the church and school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to reflect at 25 years, 50 years, on all those people that came before us,â&#x20AC;? Ohler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All their blood, sweat and tears that went into a place like this. We want to recognize that and honor those folks. And from my point of view, (I think of) the teachers and principals who have served. We want to celebrate it. It gives you an impetus to continue the mission into the future.â&#x20AC;? Lemoine, who has been employed at St. Margaret Mary for nearly two decades, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each priest has had a certain charisma that they bring here, and even after they are gone, you can tell that the seed has been planted for bigger things,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been a blessing to be a part of this parish.â&#x20AC;?
