THE NORTHSHORE'S

The Best of the Best Eighteen years ago, the Northshore was a very different place than it is today. The area had yet to be impacted by the population boom in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Highway 190 was a two-lane road through the heart of Mandeville, Madisonville was still considered “the country” and anyone who would’ve suggested an exit on Fremaux Avenue would have been laughed out of town. In order to meet the population explosion over the last two decades, subdivisions have been built, schools have opened and virtually every type of business has been introduced into the area. There is perhaps no better gauge of the growth in the business community than our Northshore’s Best awards.

As part of Sophisticated Woman Magazine’s 20th anniversary in 2005, then-editor Francie Unger and publisher Joanne Gallinghouse created The Northshore’s Best to recognize and honor local businesses. As the only Northshore readers’ choice program, what started with 93 categories has since expanded into 398 categories encompassing West St. Tammany, East St. Tammany and Tangipahoa. Throughout the years, our goal has been to give our readers a voice to identify those businesses that excel in delivering products and services to our community.

There have been many long-time businesses that continue to impress our readers with their commitment to excellence. In fact, St. Tammany Hospital, Acquistapace’s, Coffee Rani and Gallagher`s have been perennial winners in their respective specialties. Other categories have fierce rivalries with two or three businesses taking turns. Some companies even employ competitive “Vote for Us” campaigns to win the coveted Northshore’s Best title. Almost everywhere you go throughout the area - from doctors’ offices to car washes – if a business has received The Northshore’s Best recognition in the past, you are going to know about it. They proudly display the logo that is their badge of recognition on stickers, banners, certificates, signage and in advertising materials.

With an open voting process, anyone can vote for any local business in just a few categories or all of them. The process is 100 percent objective. Advertising in Sophisticated Woman is not a pre-requisite to winning. This year, thousands of votes were cast – a testament to our loyal readers and their passion for the Northshore people and businesses they love. Congratulations to our 2021 winners and thanks to all of you who’ve helped make The Northshore’s Best successful over the last 18 years.

RENÉ FREDERICK & ASSOCIATES PERSONAL INJURY TRIAL ATTORNEYS

THE VERDICT IS IN! In a double testament to his success, René Frederick has been named The Northshore’s Best Attorney and his firm, René Frederick & Associates, has won The Northshore’s Best Law Firm. But winning, to René, is a team effort that’s centered on family. While it’s important to be great lawyers, he says family and caring for clients has led to his firm’s top-rated reputation. René learned a strong sense of community as part of one of Covington’s founding families. “The Fredericks helped build this area, and I always knew I’d build my business and raise my children here.

When representing clients, I treat them as I’d want my mother treated.”

With over 20 years of experience, René now focuses primarily on personal injury cases, including auto accidents and wrongful death. His partner, Rachael Catalanotto, who recently joined the firm, also handles personal injury cases, and has broadened the practice of RFA into Family Law. Veteran attorney Jeanne Mauldin brings diverse experience previously representing insurance companies to benefit current clients, offering an informed perspective on handling each case. “We’re hands-on with our clients. It’s a direct relationship that’s very detail oriented. Our clients honor us with their trust and in return, we handle everything with care. From start to finish, we help with all insurance issues, getting car rentals and car repairs, to proper medical treatment for each client – we handle everything so they don’t have to worry.”

“The result is happy clients,” says René. Because he’s handled so many personal injury cases over the years, he offers the most effective and beneficial solutions for clients. “Experience goes a long way. It’s satisfying to help people in such a meaningful way. That was my vision when I began this firm along with the best assistant around, DeEtte Landry. She’s been invaluable to me, our clients and to the success of the firm. We are honored to win The Northshore’s Best. It’s a reflection of the quality and commitment of the whole RFA team.” *This is a paid advertisement.

R EN É FR EDER ICK & ASSOCIAT ES PERSO NA L INJ URY T RIA L A T T O RNEY S

RACHAEL P. CATALANOTTO is a Northshore native, and after attending LSU undergrad and graduating from Loyola College of Law in 2007, she naturally gravitated towards practicing law in St. Tammany Parish. Her practice areas include family law and personal injury. She is Board Certified in Family Law by the Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization. She is also the current Magistrate in Mandeville’s Mayor’s Court and is very active within the community.

She is the Past President of the 22nd JDC Bar Association as well as a founding member of the Safe Haven Foundation. Her community involvement reflects her commitment to the Parish in which she was born and raised. Rachael strives to be a role model with the work/ life philosophy of being an aggressive and prepared attorney and community advocate while also being a devoted wife and parent.

“There’s an expectation for us to excel in our profession, but here at Rene Frederick and Associates, there’s also an understanding of the important responsibility of being a parent and responsible member of the community,” she said. “We are not expected to stop being moms when we walk through the door—and knowing that actually helps us be better lawyers.” Rachael resides in Madisonville with her husband and two children. *This is a paid advertisement.

R EN É FR EDER ICK & ASSOCIAT ES PERSO NA L INJ URY T RIA L A T T O RNEY S

JEANNE M. MAULDIN earned her Juris Doctorate from Loyola University School of Law in New Orleans and began her career at a Southshore law firm. After years of defending insurance companies, she felt her knowledge would be better suited representing plaintiffs injured in accidents. Having experience in defense provided her with insight to help the injured fight insurance companies. So, in 2016, Ms. Mauldin joined René Frederick’s firm in Covington, primarily representing injured clients. At RFA, Ms. Mauldin focuses on representing victims injured in automobile accidents, and wrecks caused by eighteen wheelers and commercial vehicles.

She finds helping the injured rewarding. “I’m able to make a more personal connection when I represent someone who needs help and doesn’t know where to start.” Ms. Mauldin resides in Covington with her husband and their two children. She enjoys being able to work where she lives, representing clients from her community, while being present for her family.

Zoe's Bakery: Sweet Sensations

Joe's Family Shoes: Price. Service. Quality Selection.

LouLa's CBD Boutique & Gifts: Something for Everyone!

FOUNDED IN 1995, Zoe’s Bakery is renowned for their dazzling decorative specialty cakes while also offering a full menu of daily treats and confections. Family owned and operated

by Shane and Enid Gorringe, Zoe’s Bakery has become a Covington mainstay that attracts national attention and has earned multiple awards.

Born outside of London, a young Shane Gorringe originally aspired to be a cabinet maker. A chance opportunity in the form of an apprenticeship at the Sweet Vienna Patisserie, however, changed his course and passion for the rest of his life. Developing a unique skill set in the art of pastry baking, Gorringe quickly discovered a natural penchant for creating edible works of art. He then took his talents abroad, studying pastries on three separate continents while continually honing his craft.

In 1987, Gorringe came to New Orleans and worked his way to be the pastry chef at the Windsor Court Hotel. Night after night, Gorringe stunned his consumers with the most spectacular desserts that were as decorative as they were delicious. In time, he began to develop a dream of one day owning a space where he could have full creative control of not only his desserts, but also his business.

Today, Zoe’s Bakery creates custom heartfelt memories for any occasion. Named for their daughter, Zoe’s offers an intimate, familyorientated experience for the perfect oneof-a-kind dream cake. The White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake is a definitive local favorite with seasonal specialties that are imaginative and unique. A proud Covington local staple, Zoe’s is grateful to their team and honored to be a part of celebrations every day.

JOE’S FAMILY SHOE

store began 50 years ago in 1971 when Joe Piediscalzo opened his first store. Since then, the store has become a family operation in every sense of the word from being family owned to treating the customers as family.

to be chosen 2021 Northshore’s Best CBD store and 2021 Northshore’s Best Gift Shop!

In 2019, owner and native of Covington, Lindsey Jenkins took a leap of faith. After losing her father in 2018, she decided to open a CBD shop in order to keep her mother busy during the day. With CBD helping her father so much, her brother-in-law being partners in a CBD company, and the popularity of CBD just coming out, it seemed like all the stars were aligning - LouLa’s CBD Boutique and Gifts was born. Being a full-time teacher, Lindsey didn’t know the first thing about opening a business, but jumped right in and hit the ground running and learns something new each and every day.

“To look back at where we were three years ago to now is unbelievable,” Jenkins says. “We started in our little cottage in only the front room but have had to expand to use every inch of space we have.”

LouLa’s CBD Boutique & Gifts has something for everyone! Not only do they carry the best CBD at reasonable prices, they have gifts for all ages. From babies to adults, women to men, you will find the perfect gift for that special someone. LouLa’s carries popular brands like Orleans Candles, Katie Loxton, Bella Tunno, The Royal Standard plus much, much more! Lindsey and her team pride themselves on providing a comforting, friendly environment for you to shop in. LouLa’s offers boutique style, personal care shopping in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

CHRISTOPHER JACKLER

Iron Horse Financial I BECAME A

Financial Advisor with one goal in mind – “Take the stress out of financial

planning." Since personal money management was never offered as a subject in school, I, like most people, had to figure it out myself. Using the knowledge I’ve gained over the last 15 years, I now work with individuals and businesses to help them become financially balanced.

My planning process begins with understanding my clients' personal, professional and financial goals. Once those goals are established, I build a customized plan designed to make those goals a reality. The steps involved in this process include: creating a budget and spending plan that uses your income efficiently; putting the right amount of protection in place in case life throws us a curveball; becoming a world class saver and eliminating bad debt. No matter what stage of life you are in, there is value in having a financial plan in place.

Providing excellent, experienced, and

compassionate in-office veterinary care is key,

Daniela Eversgerd, DMD

but we also understand the importance of at home care. If a client has a concern, I’m there to listen and provide support so that I can make sure they leave with the answers they need. It is my privilege to do prolonged appointments to make that investment in our clients and patients so that they get everything they need.

We also believe in providing affordable and accessible care so pet parents don’t have to choose between caring for their pet loved ones and other important necessities. We are proud to offer Wellness plans because affordable and accessible care is important not only for treating disease but also for preventing it with twice yearly checkups. We also provide grooming, daycare, and boarding services, so our clients can rest assured that, whatever and whenever they need, they can leave their pets in the care of a trusted partner who is dedicated to their pets’ long-term health and well-being. We offer 15% off to all military, first responders, and teachers.

SHANA ROIG founded Legacy Insurance in 2018 and is thrilled to be voted The Northshore’s Best for the third year in a row!

At a young age, Shana had big dreams of one day owning her own business. Rooted in humble values, Shana’s upbringing taught her all she needed to know about cultivating and maintaining relationships to help people. As she got older, Shana knew she would fulfill her dream and continued to work towards “bigger than life” goals.

Dreams became reality when Shana graduated from John Brown University in Business Management. She then aspired to make women more prominent in the insurance industry. With the help of great mentors, her ambition to succeed and make a difference didn’t go unnoticed. Before leaving Arkansas, she was proudly named the first female manager at Arkansas Farm Bureau.

Shana is currently obtaining her CIC and has her LUTCF Designation. She specializes in needs-based advising, in both personal and commercial settings. Creating personalized insurance programs is something Shana says is imperative in her work, allowing her to leave her legacy - the reason Legacy Insurance got its name.

When Shana is not helping clients, she loves spending time with friends, family, and most importantly her husband Chad and their four children: Chad II, Hunter, Ally, and Maggy.

She loves being on the water and traveling, especially in their motorhome with their French Bulldog Bora!

Shana states, “I am blessed to do what I love and love what I do! As Louisiana continues to get hit by destructive storms, now more than ever, it is important to have proper coverage backed by a reliable agent/agency who genuinely cares for your needs!”

H.O.M.E. Classes LLC AT H.O.M.E. CLASSES,

we partner

with you to prepare your teen for the college classroom or to take advantage of our other offerings including kindergarten through 12th grade classes, ACT prep, CLEP courses, tutoring, academic advising and more.

My name is Dionne Mefferd and being a homeschooling mom myself, I felt the pressures of facing the high school years; of needing to have the ability to teach high school math, science, and more. As I began praying about these pressures, I realized that most homeschooling parents were facing the same decisions that we were facing; having to choose between enrolling our children in school or finding some other way to continue educating our high school age children. We truly believe homeschooling to be God’s plan for our families, and I believe God showed me a way through H.O.M.E. Education! (Helping Other Mothers Educate) H.O.M.E. Education is a unique and exciting

opportunity

for

homeschooling

parents and students, and we believe partnering with parents to provide an excellent Christcentered education to be a privilege. We wholeheartedly believe that parents are completely responsible for their child’s education, and we fully acknowledge parents as the final authority in their child’s education. The “Instructor” is the facilitator of learning for the subject being taught. Even though the instructor keeps academic records for their classes, the parents have the final authority to modify their child’s grade according to their experience with the

Saint Paul's School SAINT PAUL’S SCHOOL traces its origins

to 1911 when the Benedictines of Saint Joseph Abbey purchased Dixon Academy in Covington.

In 1918, the De La Salle Christian Brothers purchased Saint Paul's, and they have owned and operated the school since then.

From its inception, the school has offered a challenging and relevant academic experience to its young men with a profound respect for the Lasallian tradition of education that has been transforming lives since 1680. This education centers on Catholic values and personal relationships and emphasizes quality education, respect for all, inclusive community, concern for the poor, social justice, and faith in the presence of God. Today, Saint Paul's offers a 21st century academic program with a rigorous college preparatory core curriculum paired with extensive elective tracks of study. As a multiple National Blue Ribbon School awardee, Saint Paul’s innovates and adapts as it continually improves. Comprising a community of lifelong learners, the faculty and staff are committed to preserving the student-centered mission.

Because an involved student is a better student, Saint Paul’s promotes and supports a myriad of extracurricular activities including 17 sports at multiple levels, over 60 co-curricular organizations, competitions, clubs, and countless opportunities for service to the school and larger community.

As a Lasallian Catholic school, Saint Paul's takes its direction from the three marks of Lasallian spirituality: Faith, Service, and Community. Religion classes, level retreats, liturgies, service, and prayer permeate the daily life of the campus. In short, Saint Paul’s is a great place to grow up.

E.J. Fielding: Designing Your Funeral Families come to us because they know we’re dedicated to excellent service and have the highest integrity. We’re proud to assist you in designing your funeral.

Services To Honor A Life­—A funeral or memorial service, whether traditional or contemporary, is the first step in healing. It’s about bringing loved ones together at a time of loss. Your choices include the place of celebration, day of the week and time, musical selections, prayers to be said and songs to be sung. We can also arrange tribute videos, personalized printing, memorial websites and live funeral webcasting.

Caring for Physical Remains—Usually, people are clear on their choice of burial or cremation. Most loved ones have told someone how they wish to be cared for. But it can be a hard decision for some families, especially when the wishes of the deceased were never clearly stated. Please know we’re here to help you with that decision. If you’ve chosen burial, the casket is chosen followed by the selection of vault or desired cemetery location. If cremation is your choice, the next decision will be whether the remains will be placed in a mausoleum niche or buried on cemetery grounds.

We look forward to using our generations of experience to help you create the most memorable and meaningful funeral to honor your loved one.

Since 1992, E.J. Fielding Funeral Home has been helping families in their greatest time of need. We are a family-owned and operated funeral home offering full-service funeral arrangements, cremation and burial services in Covington, LA. We proudly serve families of the bereaved and honor their loved ones. We service the Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Folsom, Bush, Lacombe, Metairie, Kenner, and Jefferson areas. Call 985-892-9222 to speak to one of our staff who can assist you with all of your needs today, or visit ejfieldingfh.com.

Leslie Domingues:

Northlake Academy Of Music LESLIE DOMINGUES started Tots-N-Tunes Music Appreciation Program for Preschoolers in 1998. She remembers her simple start with only $40 to purchase a ream of paper, a PO Box, and a dream — walking house to house handing out promotional flyers. A humble start with TotsN-Tunes has grown into a thriving business over the last 24 years!

Her ambition to teach children about music through live music demonstrations would soon grow into something far more than she had initially hoped for. Northlake Academy of Music now houses Tunes Together & Tots-N-Tunes along with additional music based programs for children as well as music lessons for children and adults. They offer lessons in piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, drums, vocals, and they also have a full children’s choir. The studio also offers adult group classes in violin, guitar and choir!

Lakeview Academy of Music at 425 Harrison Avenue in New Orleans recently opened in August 2021! Tunes Together, Tots-N-Tunes and private lessons for children and adults has been an amazing addition to the Lakeview area community. Paul Domingues, Leslie's husband, is now playing an active role in the new academy as well.

Leslie’s passion for music and children has led Northlake to be voted "Best Music Academy" in the area by Sophisticated Woman readers for five consecutive years­, 2011-2015, and again in 2017 and 2019. Leslie is honored to have won The Northshore's "Best Music Teacher" for 2020!

Leslie states, "Loving what I do every day, is such a blessing!"

Northlake Academy of Music is located at 375 & 399 Asbury Drive in Mandeville. For more information, call 985-778-0786 or visit northlakeacademyofmusic.net.

April Business Profile

Parrain's Heating And Air Conditioning Trust. Dedication. Honesty.

PARRAIN’S HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING is a locally owned and veteran operated company. Since the beginning, Parrain’s has set a higher standard for the residential heating and air conditioning industry. Why Parrain's? Parrain in French means Godfather, and coincidently, we, the owners, are the Godfather's to each other's sons. We are a business that is built on family values, which we promise will be abundantly clear throughout your experience while working with us. You may ask yourself, "Who is coming into my house to repair or replace my unit?" We are proud to say every employee of Parrain’s is either a current or former law enforcement officer, military veteran, or spouse of one of the above. We are a company that employs only the most talented technicians in the field who have dedicated their lives to the service of others.

Your AC unit has an important job: keeping you and your family comfortable while you are indoors. When an air conditioner breaks down, it can be as expensive as it is frustrating. At Parrain’s Heating and Air Conditioning, our team takes the frustration out of air conditioning maintenance, repair, and installation while beating others' pricing.

Whether you’re in need of seasonal maintenance, specialized repairs or you need your whole system to be replaced, there’s nothing our team can’t handle. We treat your heating or cooling emergency like our own. We’re available to assist you around the clock. Service is even available nights, weekends, and holidays! Parrain’s is also dedicated to helping those who have suffered damage/loss, and you can trust us to be there when you get hit with the unexpected.
