Lighting up the holiday nights It’s the opening weekend of free Christmas events throughout St. Tammany Parish. So, grab your stocking caps and get ready to share in the spirit of the season. MANDEVILLE: St. Tammany Parish government will light up the night with the 16th annual Holiday of Lights opening Friday at the Tammany Trace Trailhead, 22154 Koop Drive, Mandeville. There will be live entertainment from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and again Dec. 11-12. Local student musicians and singers will present familyfriendly entertainment each evening at the pavilion. Due to construction of Kids Town at the site, the lights will only be on during the Holiday of Lights. SLIDELL: The city of Slidell presents Christmas Under the Stars from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and again Dec. 11-12 at Griffith Park, 333 Erlanger St., Olde Towne Slidell. Santa Claus will be riding into town on an antique fire engine, and parents can bring their children and take pictures during their visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in the park gazebo. The city transforms the park into a winter wonderland with festive music, a Christmas village and nativity, and the annual Parade of Trees. Local groups and schoolchildren decorate the trees each year with unique and localized themes. There will also be a letterwriting booth with a magical mailbox that sends the letters directly to the North Pole, said Alex Carollo, director of the Department of Culture and Public Affairs. This is the 20th year of Christmas Under the Stars. The live entertainment portion has been carried over to the Bayou Christmas program, held Dec. 17 to Dec. 26 in Heritage Park. But the displays have remained as popular as ever, Carollo said. “It brings so much joy to the community; it’s something really special,” Carollo said. The park will be lit and the displays available for viewing every night through Jan. 3. MADISONVILLE: A Merry Madisonville Tree Lighting will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at Madisonville Town Hall, 403 St. Francis St. The town rings in the Christmas season with a holiday parade, Christmas caroling and children’s activities at Santa’s Workshop. A highlight is the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by water, on their holiday boat. The celebration concludes with the lighting of the oaks. COVINGTON: The Deck the Rails Kids Event will be held from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Covington Trailhead, 419 N. New Hampshire St., Covington.

Showing their colors: Adult art time lets grown-ups in on fun BY TARA E. SMITH Contributing writer
Kelly LaRocca, assistant director of the Covington library, has a way for adults to release the heightened stress of the holidays: coloring. With adult coloring sweeping the country, the library recently offered a free session, providing intricately designed sheets and multitudes of col-
ored pencils and markers. Pam Spencer has been coloring for four years. “I think it softens the edges of reality,” she said. “It can be a meditation.” Spencer, a mixed-media artist in Covington, gathered with others at the Covington branch library Nov. 23 for its first adult coloring group event. According to many experts, “color therapy” can help one relax and
may actually provide health benefits. “It’s something to try with the holidays because the holidays can be very stressful,” said LaRocca. Whimsical doodles, inspirational quotes, intricate landscapes and nature scenes are just a few of the numerous designs for coloring sheets and äSee ART TIME, page 7G
The holidays can be a very slow time for recreation activities. Consider, after all, the many obligations that go with this time of year — extra cooking, cleaning, visiting, etc. REC & But at PeliLEISURE can Park near ANDREW Mandeville, the CANULETTE action rarely stops. The hub of activity in St. Tammany Parish Recreation District No. 1, Pelican Park has more than 1 million visits a year. And though the visitors might be coming less frequently during the holiday season, they continue to show up for the wealth of recreation and leisure events the park offers. For starters, youth basketball leagues began play again on Nov. 14, which means the park’s two gyms are filled with roundballers. According to Pelican Park recreation supervisor Julie Stempel, 553 boys and 184 girls signed up to play this season, which means that 737 youngsters ages 6-12 are getting in some good workouts this fall. The season will continue until the playoffs begin sometime in mid-January. Ninetytwo teams are taking part in the regular season. On the horizon, registration for boys’ basketball ages 13-
18, girls’ volleyball ages 9-15, and co-ed lacrosse ages 7-12 will begin on Dec. 28 and last until Jan. 12. Games in each league will begin shortly after registration closes. Complete information on how to sign up your child for a league is available on the comprehensive Pelican Park website, www.pelicanpark. com. Stempel noted that because of the wonderful weather we’ve experienced here in St. Tammany Parish the past few weeks, the dog park and skate park on site have been seeing increased usage — and they were fairly busy on a regular basis anyway. But don’t let that deter you from visiting. Both are great places to make friends and to share in common interests; whether it be “ollies” or collies. If indoor activities are more your style, make sure you check out the list of dozens of leisure activities at the park. There’s everything from arts and crafts, to classes on well-being and personal development, to classes for kids. Many are free; a few are fee-based. Check out the listings online and you’re sure to find something to bide the time well during the holidays. Stempel noted that the park’s popular Breakfast with Santa already is sold out. äSee PELICAN PARK, page 2G

Author C.J. Christ to speak about WWII in the Gulf In 1967, historian C.J. Christ one day heard a tale that culminated into a passion lasting nearly 50 years. Christ will discuss his book “World War II in the Gulf of Mexico” and the German U-boat offensive in the Gulf at 6 p.m. CHECK IT Thursday at the OUT Madisonville SHELLIE Library Branch, SAVOY LISTER 1123 Main St. On that faithful day, Christ was told that a sunken German U-boat was on the bottom of the Gulf near
the Louisiana coast. What started as an attempt to locate the sunken U-166 took Christ to Germany for the first time in 1979. With U-boat logs and U.S. Navy Intelligence reports in hand, Christ began interviewing German navy veterans who were in the Gulf during the war. The veterans translated the U-boats logs into English for him and told him about their war-time experiences. These documents and accounts became the basis for Christ’s book. Christ is a recognized expert on this topic. He has appeared on the History Channel and
NOVA as well as German public television. In 2010, Christ founded the Regional Military Museum in Houma, which houses artifacts from many wars and conflicts. He now serves as the museum’s president. For more information about this program call (985) 8454819.

The Hospice Foundation of the South provides care to people in their final stages of life. Last year, it opened St. Tammany’s only Hospice House. The home gives terminally ill patients a place to live out their final days, at no cost. The home was the shared vision of Dwayne and Charlene Shockley. One of the highlights at the event every year is the “Instant Wine Cellar” raffle, with one lucky guest winning 150 bottles of wine. Other items up for grabs during the silent and live auctions included an autographed Saints jersey, a Sonoma County Vineyard trip and a private wine tasting party for 20. The outstanding selection of wines, brought to guests by Select Brands, was further highlighted by representatives from various wineries who were on hand at Benedict’s to offer information about each vintage. Kathy Busco serves as executive director for the foundation. Event committee members included Connie Hulsey-Shepherd, Pam Voelkel, Stacey Ruiz, Sheila Keller, Ellen LaRocca, the Shockleys, Jasmine Arais, Shirley Duluzain, Lisa Krake, Metsy Hingle, Donna Schwaner, Tammy Morris and Jill Kilbride.

St. Paul’s receives National Award of Excellence BY MISSIE NOEL Contributing writer
St. Paul’s School in Covington has been named a 2015 Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the United States Department of Education. Only seven private schools in the country received the honor, and St. Paul’s was the only such school in Louisiana. The student body, parents, board of trustees, former faculty members and local dignitaries were on hand in the Brigg’s Assembly Center on campus for a ceremony and reception and the presentation of the award to the school. Master of ceremonies for the event was student Luke Avenel. Following a welcome and introduction by the school’s principal, Brother Ray Bulliard, FSC, the student body stood for a rousing rendition of “Rise Up, O Men of God!,� and later, “Here I am Lord.� Readings and reflections were presented by students Oliver Guice, Alex Oliveri and John Cresson, with the Intercessions led by the Student Council Executive Committee members Leland van Deventer, Adam Schmitt, Will Murphy and Logan Haydel. Student Kurt Thompson later sang “Ave Maria� and received a standing ovation. Cresson shared these thoughts before the formal presentation: “This award is something we are; something we can all take pride in because we all contrib-

important role of Ballet Apetrei because it’s a children’s ballet, and this community is centered around its children,” said Kelly Fortier Apetrei, Ballet Apetrei artistic director. “So not only does it provide the children of this community the opportunity to perform and experience working with professional dancers, but it provides the community the opportunity to experience it as a family as part of our audience.” The upcoming performance marks the first year that Ballet Apetrei has cast two company dancers in the prominent role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Apetrei cites the quality of area dancers and the chance “to give the dancers themselves the opportunity to perform and train with professional partner (Trey Mauldwin) because the company does not have any male dancers,” Apetrei said. Sofia Downing, of Mandeville, a senior at Fontainebleau High School, and Margaret Mena, of Covington, a St. Scholastica Academy senior, will share the
role. They will both play the Snow Queen as well. “I’m really excited and nervous at the same time,” Downing said. “It’s a challenge, but I am excited to dance to this piece. I think it will help me grow a lot, not only with my technique, but as an artist as well.” “It’s really exciting,” Mena said. “I’ve never partnered with anyone before, and I’m lucky to have Trey as my partner.” Mauldwin, a professional with the Marigny Opera House and the New Orleans Ballet Theater, has been cast as both the Cavalier and the Nutcracker. Mauldwin first performed for Ballet Apetrei as Edward in the 2013 production of Edward Scissorhands. He has performed for Charleston Ballet Theatre, New Orleans Ballet Theatre, Miami City Ballet and North Carolina Dance Theatre. He teaches at the Apetrei Dancenter. “It’s a good opportunity for girls to have,” Mauldwin said. “It’s a short dance, but it’s tough. It’s tougher on the girls.” In addition to Mauldwin, professional dancer Howard Merlin of the Boston Ballet joins the
books. Sisters Joellen Perniciaro, of Mandeville, and Anita Faucheux, of Slidell, attended the coloring group together. It was their first experiment with adult coloring. “Recently, I found out I had high blood pressure. I want to see if this helps,” Perniciaro said. “It’s a lot different than coloring with your grandchild.” Faucheux, a retired psychologist who had a private practice, used coloring with her patients who were children. “It is used as a de-stresser. It gets them to think about something other than the things that are bothering them,” she said. Ann Reed, who also attended the library event, recently moved from Gretna to Covington. She was “looking for ways to de-stress and not open boxes,” she said. Library Director Donald

Children’s museum growth is still behind the scenes Imagine children running down trails along the Tchefuncte River as families watch a performance in an outdoor theTAMMANY ater and excited TRACKER schoolchildren ABBY file into a vibrant DONALDSON children’s museum. In a few more years, this vision may
be a reality. St. Tammany Parish plans to break ground on the new Cultural Arts District in the next year, with plans that include an amphitheater, a performing arts center, nature trails through a park and wildlife preserve, and more. The 100acre district will be off of Interstate 12 along the west side of the Tchefuncte River in Covington. Among the biggest draws
for the Cultural Arts District will be the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, which has been in the works for more than a decade. “The museum will really give students an idea about the world around them in a much broader way than what they could ever get in a traditional classroom,” said Ann Barre, a member of the board of trustees for the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany.
The museum is still years away from breaking ground. But despite what may seem like a long timeline, the museum is making strides. Design plans are in place, and fundraising efforts are growing. Leslie Martin, a member of the board of trustees for the museum, said it takes 10 to 15 years for such a museum to be built, from concept to finished construction. Fundraisers such as the up-
coming Black and Gold Day are what make the image of the museum a reality. Black and Gold Day is a fundraiser throughout St. Tammany Parish public schools that allows students to donate $1 to ditch their school uniforms for a day and wear their black and gold Saints attire. “The fundraiser is more about building awareness for the museum and letting chil-
dren actually have a part in building the museum,” Barre said. So far, the school system has raised more than $100,000 through Black and Gold Day. The sixth annual Black and Gold Day fundraiser will be held Friday. The fundraiser is also open to private schools and businesses. Email blackandgold@ cmstkids.org or visit www. cmstkids.org to get involved.

States. The program recognizes accredited hospitals that attain excellence on accountability measure performance. Lakeview Regional was recognized as part of The Joint Commission’s 2015 annual report “America’s Hospitals: Improving Quality and Safety,” for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care, stroke and perinatal care. Of the more than 3,300 eligible hospitals, 1,043 received the recognition by the Joint Commission for 2014. Lakeview Regional is one of 43 HCA hospitals to have been listed as a Top Performer all five years of the program’s existence. ST. TAMMANY QUALITY NETWORK: The St. Tammany Quality Network has recognized two physicians at St. Tammany Parish Hospital for implementing new technology and protocols, and providing education to continuously improve patient care. The St. Tammany Quality Network works to keep the medical and nursing staff at St. Tammany Parish Hospital informed of best practices. Medical Director Awards went to Dr. Ricardo Blanco, a critical care specialist and pulmonologist, and to Dr. Malcom Gray Napier, a hospitalist. Blanco was recognized for the implementation of endobronchial ultrasound, which aids in the early detection of lung cancer. Blanco has also been involved in sepsis treatment education for the St. Tammany Parish Hospital medical and nursing staff. Napier was also recognized for his contribution to improving sepsis
care, helping implement the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services septic shock protocol. Identification and early detection of sepsis helps improve patient outcomes and increase safety. SAFER CT SCANNING: Ochsner Health System is the first health system in the Southeast to partner with GE Healthcare to provide patients with higher quality images with lower, safer doses of radiation. Ochsner now offers low dose radiation computed tomography (CT) technology across most sites and will be all low-dose across its system by March 2016. CT scans combine an X-ray with a computer scan to diagnose abnormalities in the soft tissues of the body. Depending on the area of the body requiring a scan, varying levels of radiation are required to produce the images. As the test is used more often, patients may be exposed to higher levels of radiation. The American College of Radiology estimates that last year alone, over 72 million CT scans were performed throughout the United States. “Low-dose CT technology is extremely important in terms of patient safety and confidence,” said Dr. Joseph Hajjar of Ochsner Medical Center-North Shore. “For those patients who may have been apprehensive about receiving exams involving radiation, they now know they are receiving the smallest dose possible in a much more targeted way. Physicians are getting the quality images they need to help make a diagnosis while the patients have one less thing to worry about.”
