CENTRAL — Central High School will travel to Covington Friday to play the No. 1 5A football team in the state — the St. Paul’s Wolves. Although they are the underdogs, Central head coach Doug Dotson said the Wildcats are ready for the showdown. St. Paul’s plays power football, strictly traditional, and old school. The key for a Central victory would be controlling the run and stopping the big pass play. “The longer we have the ball on offense, the better we’re going to do,” Dotson said. “We won’t be able to make mistakes. We can’t give them anything. We’ll need mistakefree football. No fumbles, no dropped interceptions.” St. Paul’s offense looks Coach Doug Dotson a lot like what we saw from Denham Springs, while the defense is a lot like St. Thomas More, minus See CENTRAL on Page 10
Tax Election on Nov. 19 Would Reduce Taxes
CENTRAL — Central voters will face a short ballot on Saturday, Nov. 19 with runoff for Parish Coroner and for the 6th District seat on the State Board of Elementary Education (BESE). And there is a very unusual proposition on the ballot: The Central Community School Board actually wants approval to reduce taxes. Two years ago Central voters approved a 1/2-cent sales tax increase to build the new school complex, but the sales tax has no expiration date. The school board wants the tax to expire when the school complex is paid off. Board member Will Easley said the election will keep faith with the voters of Central.

Central Soldier Was POW for 37 Months
Earl Colbey Joined U.S. Navy at Age 13; Booted Out at 16, He Joined Army at 17 Continued from Page 1
Truly believing that patriotism and love of country have no age limits, Earl Colbey, who was born in 1930, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1944 during World War II. He served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid for two years. During this time, the Intrepid fought to liberate the Philippines and in the battle for Okinawa. In 1946, when the Navy discovered that Colbey, a two-year veteran, was only 16, they booted him out. Then in 1948, while still only 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, two years before the Korean War. When that war broke out in May 1950, Colbey had just reached 20. On June 29, he volunteered to fight in Korea and less than a week later he was in Korea and being strafed
by North Korean planes. On July 5, his position was attacked by 54 North Korean tanks. The 500 GI’s were overrun by more than 35,000 North Koreans. He was captured July 6. Tiger Death March. A total of 889 captives were taken to ManPo and turned over to a policeman whom they nicknamed the Tiger. He led the prisoners on a brutal 150-mile death march. Anyone who was too sick or injured to continue was killed on the spot. The others were subjected to cruelty and inhumane treatment which was made even worse by the inde-
scribable cold. Men had no food, no medicine, no winter clothing, and virtually no heat. One year later, when the Chinese took control, there were only 234 prisoners still alive. Earl had dropped from 198 pounds to 118, but he was happy just to be alive. The Chinese were not as cruel, but subjected them to mental torture and attempted to brainwash them. More than three years after his capture, he was repatriated. He weighed 145 pounds. Colbey said he never resented the treatment he received at the

Recommendations for Nov. 19, 2011 Election Central School Tax
The Central Community School Board has proposed limiting the duration of the current 1/2-cent sales tax, which is dedicated to school facilities and improvements. At present, the tax is unlimited and will be imposed indefinitely into the future. The proposal would end the tax, once the bonds for the new school are paid off. We recommend voting YES.
Amendment No. 1
Prohibit Property Transfer Fees
Some states impose expensive transfer fees when people buy or sell real estate. This amendment to the Louisiana Constitution would prohibit such fees being imposed in Louisiana. The real estate industry in the state is supporting the measure as a preventative. We recMarshel Lee McPherson, John Colbey, and Earl Colbey in Kumamot, Japan in 1949. ommend voting YES. Kevin A.

hands of the North Koreans or the Chinese. But he said he did resent the treatment the veterans received at the hands of the American people after his return. He said they were not properly cared for and were repeatedly told, “We cannot help you.” But later he said the men who had fought and suffered so much were recognized by the Veterans Administration and given better attention. After the war, Earl Colbey moved to the Central area. His grandson is Rev. Tony Spell, pastor of Life Tabernacle Church on Hooper. Like so many veterans, Earl Colbey was a true American patriot, whose sacrifices helped Americans live in peace and freedom.

Book to Profile Louisiana Athletes Who Give Back BATON ROUGE — When you think about Louisiana’s sports legends and heroes, a long list comes to mind. But have you ever wondered what our state’s greatest athletes are doing to help out their fellow man? BIC Media Solutions has begun work on its latest book, “Louisi-
ana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy.” More than a book about Louisiana sports heroes, this unique publication will celebrate our sports champions, their life stories, athletic accomplishments, and most importantly, highlight their efforts to make the world a better place
through faith, personal contributions, foundations, nonprofit and benevolent activities. Only the top 50 sports legends and heroes will be featured, and Louisiana’s sports fans are needed to help find them. Fans are encouraged to nominate their sports hero, past or present, for consideration in the first edi-
tion of “Louisiana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy.” In order to qualify, the Louisiana sports legend should A) have been born, played or coached in Louisiana and B) have contributed or is contributing to his community. For nomination forms and an overview of the selection process, go to www.BICheroes.com. BIC Alliance founder and CEO Earl Heard is pleased to see his concept come to life, “Today’s heroes are tomorrow’s legends, not just on the playing field but also in the game of life,” Heard said. An advisory panel of sports experts has been assembled to evaluate all nominations received. Initial nominees include: Paul Dietzel, Roger Cador, Sue Gunter, Gayle Hatch, Warrick Dunn, Johnny Robinson, Pete Maravich, Eddie Robinson, Billy Cannon, Brian Kinchen, Glen “Big Baby” Davis, Terry Bradshaw, and Hal Sutton. Once all nominations have been received and reviewed by the advisory panel, the sports legends and heroes to be featured in the first edition of the “Louisiana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy” will be announced. Louisiana Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne has put his support behind the project, saying, “Louisiana has produced many outstanding athletes, past and present, and this book will certainly be a tribute to their many accomplishments and contributions to the quality of life in our great state.” The Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches has also spoken out in support of the book as well as several of the nominated athletes. BIC Media Solutions has been publishing books of significance since 2005, with more books on the horizon. According to Heard, “We believe our success comes from helping make others successful not only in our personal and professional lives but also in our community.” To learn more about “Louisiana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy” or to advertise in this book, contact Earl Heard or Brandy McIntire at (800) 460-4242 or brandy@bicalliance.com.

Jordan earned a B.A. from LSU, while Anna earned a nursing degree from Southeastern. Jordan Mentzer has always wanted to fly. His dad, Richard Mentzer, is a pilot for UPS. His grandfather, Dick Mentzer, was a Delta pilot for 30 years. Lt. Mentzer is currently rated to fly the W-C-130-J. The C-130 is the workhorse of Air Force transport planes. Mentzer said the “W” means the plane has been refitted as a “weather bird” and the “J” is because it is a new era of C-130’s. Before joining the U.S. Air Force Reserves, Mentzer completed pilot training at the Airline Transport Professionals school in Dallas where he earned commercial ratings. After returning to Baton Rouge, he became the personal pilot for Baton Rouge businessman Bob Dean. He left Dean to join the Air Force. Mentzer went through Officer Training School at Maxwell AFB, graduating in January 2009. He was the leader of his unit and was named “Distinguished Graduate.” He completed Flight School at Columbus AFB, Mississippi. Then he completed SERE training, which stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape, in the Washington state forest. In the process, he had to withstand

CENTRAL — Thirteen year old Calem Guidry was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 7. Calem decided to open up a lemonade stand in an effort to raise money for medical expenses. What a success this effort was! He opened his lemonade stand Sept. 10. People stopped by in the Sherrington Place Subdivision and were very generous. In addition to selling lemonade, Calem offered Krispy Kreme doughnuts, donated by Donny Bradley, general manager of the Plank Road location. Our family would like to express heartfelt thanks, along with Calem, to all those that helped make this effort a success. There will be a raffle to help with future expenses, contact Sandra Major at 241-9812.

St. Thomas More’s 280 and 300 pound linemen. “We’ll have our hands full, but we’re going over there to win.” Dotson praised the performance of the Central team last Friday.
“When our team was 2-4, our team kept working hard, regardless of what anyone else said about us,” he said. “It took character for these young men to win the District Championship, but that’s how we got here. Our power rating was
only 33rd in the state. If that was the deciding factor, we wouldn’t have made it. But the fact that we won the District Title automatically gave us a spot in the playoffs and bumped Chalmette down from 32 to 33.” The coach said he noticed the performance of several offensve players in last Friday night’s 4115 victory over Live Oak. “Zach Evans had a great run, roughly 94 yards. Unfortunately, it was called back, but it was one
of the longest plays from scrimmage in Central history. If it had counted, he would have had a 200yard night. Brett Courville was outstanding and went 11 for 11 in passing. Gary Triplett had a 77 yard punt return.” “On defense, we had a good night. Logan Metcalf, Zack Hetrick, Joey Jarreau, and Thomas Edleman were outstanding,” he said. “Tom stepped in and did a good job.” Live Oak’s starting quarterback, Cole LeBlanc, played for Central

Faces No. 1 St. Paul in Covington
Thomas Eddlemon (left); Coach David Simoneaux, Jr. addresses the team after the win; and Shane and Zack Evans
Hannah Ashford; Coach Doug Dotson with his mom, wife Michelle, and kids Bailey and Brett; and fans celebrate another District Championship
until this season. Dotson said he played very well Friday night. After the game, the Central coach approached the Live Oak quarterback and congratulated him. “He played hard and did a good job for Live Oak. He fought like a warrior.” Central will need a team full of warriors this Friday against St. Paul’s. Coach Dotson said St. Paul’s has earned its No. 1 rating. Yet, Central has a certain advantage in the contest. They’ve played St. Paul’s the past two years. Al-
though they lost, both games were close and Central’s players know they are competitive with St. Paul’s. They believe they can win this game. On the other hand, it would seem difficult to motivate St. Paul’s. They are playing the No. 32 seed and a team they have beaten. St. Paul’s hasn’t been tested this year. So no one has seen them under pressure. On the other hand, Central makes its living under pressure.
Coach Dotson is asking for a big turnout Friday night in Covington. St. Paul’s fans will turn out. It will be a White-Out night. So everyone is asked to wear white. Leave early and arrive alive.

and unafraid. He has the determination to win. Brett is very tough. He could just as easily be our starting linebacker.” Dotson said Central changed their offense this year but Courville readily adapted to the new system. Coach Dotson said defenders quickly learn they’re not dealing with ordinary quarterback. “For one thing, he’d just as soon run through you as around you. A lot of defenders have found that out the hard way. As Brett goes, so go the Wildcats,” Dotson said. Assistant coach Rob Chapman,
the quarterback coach, said, “Brett Courville is an outstanding young man. He has a different air — never too high or too low. He’s come a long way. Overall, he’s a great athlete and a tremendous competitor. He reminds me of Tim Tebow. He has a natural athletic ability. He was born with something special. I wouldn’t trade him for any quarterback in the district.” Overall, Courville’s numbers aren’t shabby: 1,857 yards of total offense with 574 rushing and 1,283 yards passing with 4 interceptions. He’s passed or run for 23 TDs. Is anybody noticing?

RECORD FAMILY — Dr. Ben Record, Lillian Record, Dr. Ashley Record, and Abram Record. Ben is moving to Dr. John Smith’s dental office on Wax Road.
Dr. Ben Record Begins Practice On Wax Road
CENTRAL — Dr. Benjamin Record has joined Central’s growing health care community. Record Dental Center is now open at 15110 Wax Road, the former location of John M. Smith, DDS. A native of Clinton, Dr. Record said he will strive to continue the excellent dental care provided by Dr. Smith for years to come. Dr. Record obtained his DDS from LSUSD in 2003 and then completed a two-year hospital dentistry residency (General Practice Residency) at Big Charity in New Orleans. There he learned the art of sedation dentistry, expanded his oral surgery skills, treated difficult cases both dentally and medically and deepened his love of general dentistry for patients with all types of special needs. After completing his residency, he was asked to take over as director of the General Practice Residency Program. During his tenure, he helped rebuild LSUSD and the GPR program through multiple hurricanes, natural disasters and shrinking state budgets. He said he felt he left LSUSD with a successful GPR program
with 18 residents in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Teaching dentistry to young dentists and treating patients within the LSU Health System require a great deal of enthusiasm, ingenuity, creativity and patience. Those are traits Dr. Record said he hopes to bring to Record Dental Center. Dr. Record and his wife, Dr. Ashley Record, a practicing Dermatologist at Advanced Dermatology in Zachary, have two children, Lillian, two and a half, and Abram one month. They live in Baton Rouge but enjoy practicing in the growing cities of Central and Zachary. When not working, spending time with their family takes center stage. Activities involve all things outdoors, farmer’s markets, water activities at Lake St. John, Spokane, La., or enjoying the country at “Breezy Hill Farms” in Clinton. Wherever they are, Dr. Ben Record is sure to have a camera capturing life’s precious moments. Sara Forbes, RDH; Heather Depew, Office Manager/Dental Assistant and Christy Barr, Dental Assistant have stayed on during the transition and are excited to be a part of the newest dental clinic to open in Central. Dr. Record said he wants to invite local residents to drop by and say hello and to visit on Facebook where they post updates and the occasional prize!
