Slidell church serves prayer, food year round The Mount Olive Feeding Ministry in 1986 began distributing food to the hungry. Then, it started to serve one hot meal a week. Today, it serves around 300 hot meals, six days a week, from its location at 2457 Second St. in Slidell. Director Ella Smith said it might seem like an easy task to fix one meal a day. But the key to operating with a core of volunteers and donations is organization. “You have to have a plan and pray for it to work,” Smith said. The ministry operates from donations, with no funding or grants. “It’s by the mercy of the people” that they continue, she said. The Mount Olive AME Church began the ministry with people cooking meals in their homes, she said. It then moved to a building at the church. When that building was damaged during Hurricane Katrina, volunteers kept cooking in the church parsonage. The local Rotary
Music to inspire Covington man’s Christmas album raises money for ALS clinic BY ANDREW CANULETTE Special to the Advocate
Calvin Klein has been a successful husband, father, grandfather, local business owner and even an amateur body builder. But when the Covington resident was diagnosed with ALS in February 2012, he wasn’t sure if he could rise to the challenge of dealing with the debilitating disease. He was given only a few years to live. Now, though ALS has left him wheelchair-bound and unable to move his arms and legs, he still can speak. And the 66-year-old Klein is hoping that it is his voice that will help others who suffer from the neurological affliction commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Klein, with the help of fellow Covington resident the Rev. Gabriel Farago, has produced a Christ-
mas album titled “One Solitary Life.” The recording, released by NSD Records of Nashville, Tennessee, contains 11 songs that include traditional holiday tunes and a couple of gospel songs. The majority of the record has a countrywestern sound. Klein said 1,250 copies of “One Solitary Life” were minted, and that all proceeds from CD sales will go to the LSU Muscular Dystrophy Association/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (MDA/ ALS) Clinic he visits every three months. ALS patients from around the state frequent the clinic in New Orleans, and Klein noted that since the facility is not federally funded, it is in need of additional equipment to better serve the public. Klein sang with a local choir in the past, but he has no formal musical training. It was a random
meeting with Farago that paired the duo in the studio two months ago. “He walked by (Klein’s) office one day, and (employee James Primes) started talking with him,” Klein said. “James asked if he could come pray for his boss. So Father Gabriel started stopping by from time to time … I knew he had an interest in music. So I said, ‘Father, why don’t you bring your guitar by and we’ll have a little jam session?’ When he left, the idea came to him (to make an album.)” An impromptu sing-along in Klein’s Covington-area office solidified the idea. “He said, ‘You can carry a tune.’ That’s where it started. And there are several reasons why we did it. I thought it would be a great legacy to leave behind for my family äSee INSPIRE, page 3G

Charities enjoy net benefits from tennis tourney The 16th annual Children’s Wish/STARC Benefit Tennis Tournament was held Dec. 2-5 at Cross Gates Athletic Club near Slidell.

More than 60 Christmas trees have been decorated by New Orleans businesses.
New Orleans isn’t known as a winter wonderland. The chances for a White Christmas are about as good as your shot at catching Santa stuffing the stockings above a nonfunctional fireplace. But organizers of NOLA ChristmasFest are bringing sleigh-loads of the holiday spirit to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. NOLA ChristmasFest, formerly known as Christmas in the District, will deck the halls (OK, just Hall B) of Morial Convention Center daily from Friday through Dec. 27. The festival’s figurative star on top of the tree is an indoor ice rink. New Orleanians and visitors alike are invited to lace up their skates and glide on top of the 50-by-80-foot hunk of real ice. “Every year, we’ve done something different,” said Diane Lyons of NOLA ChristmasFest. “This is the first year we’ve had
an ice rink — the first time an ice rink with ice real has been put inside since the 1980s,” referring to the former ice rink at the Plaza at Lake Forest Mall in New Orleans East. “Children and adults learned to skate back in the Plaza, and soon they’ll have the oppor- Tips on ice tunity to have a new ice rink skating for in downtown New Orleans beginners ä 6G for the first time.” Organizers hope to attract 20,000 people to NOLA Christmas Fest, and the ice rink should prove to be a popular attraction. Building a frozen ice sheet in a climatecontrolled setting takes some doing, explained Bob Johnson of the Convention Center. The engineer and ice-rink setup arrive in New Orleans a little more than a week before NOLA ChristmasFest opens. The underlying structure beneath the ice uses a portable refrigeration system to pump cold liquid through bulkheads and pipes laid on the floor and covered with sand, Johnson said. After the structure is built, the long process begins, as the äSee HOLIDAYS, page 6G

Covington home tour filled with ‘History and Holly’ On Dec. 6, the Covington Heritage Society and the city of Covington co-sponsored the “History and Holly Candlelight Tour” in downtown Covington. The tour featured historic homes built at the turn of the century and designated with the TAMMANY new “Covington SCENE Historic Home” MISSIE plaque. NOEL Patrons gathered at the Greater Covington Center to receive maps for the walking tour, then followed the softly glowing luminary bags marking the path to each home. Eleven homes were on the tour, and each featured volunteer docents who told guests about the history of the prop-
erty. The decors included holiday themes, with many including multiple Christmas trees and seasonal garland on mantels. Local jazz ensembles and quartets entertained guests as they mingled between 22nd and 24th avenues and Monroe and Jackson streets. Homes on the tour were those of Dr. Paul and Kelly Stahls, Steven and Gina Hayes, Larry Rolling, Gina Rowbatham, Patrick Fulton, Nick and Cody Ludwig, Helen Curran and Cleo Seay, Mike Hays, Todd and Dee Simoneaux, Colin and Christen Shea, and Jo Ann Popplewell. Upcoming events for the Covington Heritage Foundation include an “Antiques and Uniques Festival” in mid-April and the annual “Boilin’ at the Brewery” event in May.

He still works as a musician and record producer, and has access to talented studio artists in Nashville who laid down the music for “One Solitary Life.� All that needed to be done was to get Klein in a local studio to record vocals. “I’ve never done any singing by myself, so I was nervous at first,� Klein said. “I wasn’t sure I could handle this. I wasn’t sure I could go into a studio and be with an engineer and a producer — all these people and me as the focal point.

Group collects donated instruments for school Advocate staff report Note for Education Northshore, founders of the Slidell Jazz and Blues Festival, recently donated instruments to St. Tammany Junior High in Slidell. The instruments were collected during a drive held this past March when the group teamed up with the community to help share the power of music with children and foster music education in local schools. Refurbished and given to the school were two trumpets, two clarinets, one flute and a drum set. The STJH band’s growth has left students with rented instruments. “The expressions on some of their faces were priceless,� said Robin Marquez who is one of the program’s committee members.

There are walk-ins, as well as volunteer drivers who deliver meals to the elderly, sick and shut-ins. A board of directors, headed up by Mount Olive pastor,

Pooches to show off ugly Christmas sweaters at benefit It’s just not Christmas without an ugly Christmas sweater. There are funny sweaters and tacky sweaters, sweaters that jingle and sweaters that light up, sweaters with Christmas scenes and sweaters with Christmas sayings. They’re all hysterically ugly. TAMMANY This holiday TRACKER season, the St. ABBY Tammany HuDONALDSON mane Society has managed to make the ugly attire even funnier by putting it on dogs. The Humane Society will host the Ugly Christmas Sweater Yappy Hour, where dog lovers can dress themselves and their four-legged friends in tacky Christmas attire for an evening of food, fun and fundraising. “Everybody goes all out,” said Michele Nazar, recalling the outlandish outfits at past events. “They get a little crazy sometimes.” Nazar is the volunteer and event coordinator at STHS. The free event will be from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 16, at Painting with a Twist, 2121 N.

And this event gives dogs at the shelter a chance to be adopted. “That’s our ultimate goal, to find homes for these homeless pets,” Nazar said. The evening includes the Mutt Strut, where adoptable
dogs are introduced like models on a runway and walked through the venue to meet everyone. Two to three dogs are usually adopted during the monthly Yappy Hour event, with more adopted afterward. The event also raises money and awareness for STHS. “We run mostly just on donations and community support. So we really depend on all of these events to raise money,” Nazar said.

Find the season’s magic in a special holiday book When I was a little girl, I had a very favorite Christmas book. In fact, I loved “Santa’s Runaway Elf” so much that my dad had to apply duct tape to the binding to keep it from falling apart. When I remember the book, the silver tape seems just part of the beautiful package. I don’t CHECK IT remember much OUT of the story, but I SHELLIE do remember the SAVOY LISTER delight I had in reliving it again and again. I also remember the silver shine on the edge of my blue book. As a librarian, I believe in the power of stories, personal stories and those told in books. Christmas is the time of year when our ears are most tuned to the wonder in a tale that makes us believe, feel and connect. When I posed a question to my co-workers and our patrons about their favorite Christmas stories, several people mentioned reading a book with their parents when they were a child and then sharing it with their own children. “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” “Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree” and “Santa Mouse” were favorites for this wonderful sharing. Tanya DiMaggio, the St. Tammany Parish Library’s Children’s Services coordinator, shares her favorite Christmas book, “Herbie’s Secret Santa,” year after year with schoolchildren and with her own daughter. Herbie the duck loves Christmas, but when he does something he regrets, he finds he can’t enjoy the season until he tells his friend Lottie the truth. The story of friendship and redemption is heartwarming, and funny, too. Kay Redd, Abita Springs Branch manager, is touched year after year by the story of “The Little Match Girl.” Of the tale in which a young girl dies and is carried to heaven by her loving grandmother, Redd says, “It’s a beautiful story and it always makes me cry, but it has such a powerful message that makes you stop and think.” If you do not already have a favorite Christmas book, I encourage you to stop by any of our library branches and discover one. Share it with your loved ones around the table or the tree. You are never too old to discover the magic and wonder in a good book.

Christen Roberts and Tere Walsh, sister and mother of Matt Walsh, present the finished floragraph in Matt’s likeness that will appear on a float in the 2016 Rose Parade on New Year’s Day.
Slidell organ donor killed in car accident honored with floragraph Advocate staff report In April 2006, Matt Walsh, of Slidell, was in a fatal car accident. Today, he lives on not just in the memory of his family and friends, but in a more literal way as well: His heart saved the life of a 65-year-old man, his kidney went to a 12-yearold girl and his liver to a 47-year-old woman. To honor his gifts as an organ donor, a floragraph — an image made entirely from organic materials — was made in Walsh’s likeness. California volunteers for Donate Life America, an organ donation advocacy group, decorated it almost to completion, and his family, including mother Tere Walsh and sister Christen Roberts, of Slidell, gathered on Dec. 4 at West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero, where Walsh had been taken for treatment after his crash with an 18-wheeler, to

It’s tag line is “Warming Her longtime friend Ed Laffer- All Hearts” without regard to ty had worked serving Christ- religion, politics or other affilimas and Thanksgiving meals to ations. kataylor@theadvocate.com
The idea: to collect sweatshirts for the homeless served by the mission. The goal: to gather 1,000 new or gently used sweatshirts in time for the Dec.23 meal. The hard part: They would have only six weeks to do it. “We began to make thousands of fliers to distribute to as many communities as possible,” Graves said. “We felt that if only one household in
every block in Slidell donated a sweatshirt, our goal would be reached, and we broadened our goal to 2,000 sweatshirts.” Graves enlisted her sister, Ann Walker, who, along with Maxanne Coburn, began circulating fliers across Slidell and establishing drop-boxes around the city. Graves put out the word through her medical clinic, and she and Lafferty took a gig do-
ing volunteer gift wrapping at Barnes and Noble in Mandeville that brought public exposure and donations. Peace Lutheran Church offered funds from one of its charitable accounts to buy shirts. “We plan to continue this project from year to year, evernexpanding the items we donate, hoping to have people ‘pay it forward,’ ” Graves said. “What
a wonderful time of the year to pause to be thankful for all that we have and feel genuinely good about offering something to others.” To help with Project SweAtheart, you can contribute sweatshirts or volunteer your time helping to collect them. Drop them off at Graves’ office, 1150 Robert Blvd., Suite 190, in Slidell. Call (985) 7074384 for more information.

Breaking the ice:Tips for beginning skaters Advocate staff report Tie skates correctly: too tight and your feet may go numb, too loose and you won’t get the proper support for your ankles. Fall down on purpose: You’re going to fall, so it’s best to practice falling as soon as you get on the ice for the first time. Bend your knees and squat into dip position. Fall to the side and lean a bit forward as you go down. Get back up: Turn over onto your hands and knees. Take one foot and place it between your hands. Repeat with the other foot. Push yourself up, and you should be standing. If your blades slip and slide as you stand, use the toe picks of the
blades to keep the skates in one place as you pull yourself up. Look forward: Keep your head up, and look in front of you. Weight forward: Leaning back will likely send you flying on your backside. Keep your knees bent and your weight forward. Hold your arms out in front of you; open them wide to help you stay balanced. Now move forward: First, march in place. Next, march and move. Then, do short “scooter” steps with one foot at a time. Pretend you are riding a scooter on the street. Arms can be kept in front on “imaginary scooter bars” for balance. Do alternating steps. Take a step onto the right foot, rest on two feet, and then step onto
the left foot. Try pushing from one foot to the other, and skate around the rink. Practice gliding on two feet: March or step across the ice and then “rest.” Glide forward for a short distance on two feet. Learn to stop: To stop, bend your knees, turn the toes of each foot inward, point your heels out, and push out on your heels. Do a dip: Squat down as far as possible. The arms and rear should be level. This is a great exercise to get the knees going before skating, too. First, practice doing a dip from a standstill. Once you feel comfortable gliding forward on two feet on the ice, practice dips while moving.

n Christmas trees should be fresh, not dry. Lack of moisture in the tree increases its combustibility, so water regularly. n When buying a fresh flocked tree, ask the salesperson if the tree has been treated with an approved flame-retardant flocking material, or ask where you can buy such material and treat the tree yourself. n Place the tree at a safe distance from heat sources such as room heaters or fireplaces. Also, place the tree so that it will not obstruct the exit in case of a fire. n Use only lighting strings that have been tested and labeled by a nationally recognized product testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories. n Replace all tree lights that have frayed or broken wires, loose connections or cracked plugs. n Unplug the tree lights whenever you leave home or go to bed. n Do not overload extension cords or electrical outlets, and do not place electrical cords under rugs or locations where the cord can be damaged. Always use an extension cord that has a three-pronged plug (which is an extension cord with a ground wire) that is approved by Underwriters Laboratory for outdoor use.
n Never hang electrical lights from a metallic tree; damaged insulation in the light string can electrically charge the tree, possibly causing shock or fire. n Do not use candles or any other open flame on or near tree. n Never burn Christmas trees in fireplaces because the flames can flare out of control and send sparks flying into the room. n After the Christmas holidays, remove the tree from your home as soon as possible, placing the tree a safe distance from the house for garbage collection.
Fireplaces
n Use only seasoned wood. Never use green wood, plastic artificial logs, paper or trash. n Always use a protective screen. n Clean interiors, hearths and chimneys yearly. n Have your chimney inspected by a professional at least once a year and have it cleaned if necessary. n Remove ashes in a metal container. n Because they may rekindle, never store ashes in your home.
Candles
n Before you light candles, put them in a nontip candle holder. n Never burn candles near a Christmas tree or combustible decorations or displays. n Keep candles well away from curtains and other combustibles, and never put candles in windows or near exits. n Don’t leave candles burning unattended or within the reach of small children. n Extinguish candles before you leave a room, go to bed or leave home.
