Playoff Fever

CENTRAL — For the Central High Wildcats, there’s been little time to celebrate their 9-1 record and 5th straight District 4-5A Cham-pionship. The Wildcats did have a bit of fun last Friday night as they whipped Live Oak 56-27 at Central’s annual “pink out” game which highlights the community’s commitment to fighting cancer. The Wildcats wore new pink uni-forms and scored on almost every offensive series. This Friday, Central (ranked 4th in the state) hosts Ponchatoula in Round One of the State 5A Play-offs. Ponchatoula is highly regard-

Parishwide, the results were: East Baton Rouge Parish Mitt Romney (R) 92,235 Barack Obama (D) 102,460 However, the City of Central defied the parishwide results, and Romney’s victory here was even more dramatic than the statewide totals. In Central, Romney carried every precinct and racked up 86

nominee. In Central, Walker won a landslide victory, defeating Holden by 6,700 votes, but this was offset by votes in the inner city: Mayor-President City of Central only Mike Walker (R) 9,779 Kip Holden (D) 3,003 Steve Myers (N) 258 Gordon Mese (N) 247 In parishwide results, Holden had an overwhelming majority:

Supt. FaulkNamed TopsIn Louisiana CENTRAL — Central schools Supt. Mike Faulk was recog-nized this week with one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on someone in his profession. The Louisiana As-sociation of School Executives named Faulk as Louisiana’s ‘School Superintendent of the Year’ for 2012. In February, he will be considered for the title of National Superintendent of the Year at the organization’s na-tional convention in Los Ange-les. Faulk, the founding super-intendent of the Central school system, said any honor given him should be considered a tribute to Central’s teachers and staff and the Central community.

Two Key Judgeships on Dec. 8 Ballot

Woody Jenkins

Turnout in CentralCould Decide WhoWill Be Elected toLa. Supreme Court Woody Jenkins Editor, Central City News

CENTRAL — As a result of Tuesday’s election, Central voters will face two important runoff elections on Dec. 8. In the runoff for a seat on the Louisi-ana Supreme Court, Judge John Mi-chael Guidry, a Democrat, will face Judge Jeff Hughes, a Republican. Guidry is a gentleman, a moderate, and a true public servant. Likewise, Hughes is a man of character and per-sonal accomplishment. He has many years of distinguished service on the bench. For conservatives, the choice is clear because Hughes is a move-

ment conservative who would likely be the swing vote that leads the court in a decidedly more conservative di-rection for the first time in history. For the Louisiana Court of Appeal, voters will face a runoff between Gideon Carter III, a civil rights law-yer and Democrat, and Judge Mike

McDonald, a conservative Republi-can judge with a long history of ac-complishment. He is a student of the Constitution who understands the importance of keeping government within its lawful and constitutional bounds.

PONCHATOULA GREEN WAVE — The Ponchatoula High School Green Wave of 1929. The editor’s father, Little Ory Jenkins, is 5th from the left and his uncle, Bailey Jenkins, is at the far right. Central hosts Ponchatoula in the state playoffs here Friday.

Judge McDonald has served with dis-tinction for many years, and we would be well-served to reelect him to the Court of Appeals.

HHH My Reaction to Tuesday’s Presi-dential Election. Gov. Mitt Romney was an ideal can-didate — a man of integrity, intelli-gence, and accomplishment who un-derstands the free enterprise system, the Constitution, and the rightful lim-its on government. He ran a very pro-fessional, well-financed campaign. He ran against a candidate who has used every conceivable device to di-vide our country for his own personal political purposes. He uses “class warfare,” envy, and the “something-for-nothing” appeal of political dema-

gogues throughout history. As Ben Franklin told us, “When the people find that they can vote themselves money out of the public treasury, that will herald the end of the republic.” According to the polls, Gov. Rom-ney led with voters interested in solv-ing our nation’s economic problems, but President Obama led among vot-ers who said they want a leader who “understands problems of people like me.” Translation: I want someone who will keep the checks, benefits,

and “free-bees” coming my way. We have fashioned programs to help the elderly and disabled and found instead that half the country thinks that they are entitled to ev-erything at the expense of those who work and pay taxes. As Franklin said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” Don’t think it’s over for our coun-try. It’s not. Half the country may want a free ride, but half the country is unwilling to keep pulling the wagon. No, it’s not over. Actually, it’s just getting interesting. We’ll find out what we’re made of and whether we have what it takes to preserve and pass on this freedom of ours to the next generation. I’m still betting on reason, com-mon sense, hard work, our American heritage, and the good Lord above.

Mayor-President East Baton Rouge Parish Kip Holden (D) 115,303 Mike Walker (R) 65,970 Gordon Mese (N) 6,585 Steve Myers (N) 4,256 Holden received 60 percent of the vote parishwide, while Walker received 34.3 percent, independent Gordon Mese received 3.4 percent, and independent Steve Myers re-ceived 2.2 percent. Walker said Wednesday he will continue to be involved in the politi-cal process. He is a member of the Metro Council and Mayor Pro Tem until January 2013. One of his most important roles during that period will be the review of the Mayor-President’s proposed budget, which is nearly $800 million next year. In the race for a vacancy on the Louisiana Supreme Court, Central played an important role in Tues-day’s election and could play an even bigger role in the runoff elec-tion scheduled for Dec. 8. The vacancy occurred because of the impending resignation of Chief Justice Kitty Kimball, a Democrat. Eight candidates sought the seat on the Supreme Court Tuesday, includ-ing six sitting district and court of appeal judges. Leading the field was Judge John Michael Guidry, a Dem-

ocrat who received 27.5 percent, and Judge Jeff Hughes, a Republican who won 21.2 percent. Both cur-rently serve on the Louisiana Court of Appeal. Here are the results: Louisiana Supreme Court 5th Supreme Court District John Guidry (D) 93,117 Jeff Hughes (R) 71,910 Mary Olive Pierson (D) 49,990 Duke Welch (R) 37,520 Toni Higginbotham (R) 36,663 Bill Morvant (R) 36,117

Tim Kelley (R) 10,395 Jerry Sanford (N) 3,256 Together, the two Democrats, Guidry and Pierson, received 42.2 percent of the vote. Hughes is a slight favorite in the runoff. Chief Justice Kimball is consid-ered a liberal on the court, and the election of Hughes could shift the balance of power on the court to the conservatives by a 4-3 margin. Judge Hughes ran first in Central, and Judge Duke Welch ran second.

The results for the Supreme Court race were as follows: Louisiana Supreme Court City of Central only Jeff Hughes (R) 3,567 Duke Welch (R) 2,867 Toni Higginbotham (R) 2,633 Bill Morvant (R) 1,464 Mary Pierson (D) 1,090 John Guidry (D) 882 Tim Kelley (R) 712 Jerry Sanford (N) 76

Hughes said Wednesday that a strong showing in the Dec. 8 runoff is essential if he is to be victorious. He said he was very grateful for the first place vote he received in Cen-tral Tuesday. In another important race, Court of Appeal Judge Mike McDonald re-ceived a very strong vote in Central but narrowly missed winning out-

right and will face a Dec. 8 runoff against civil rights attorney Gideon Carter III. The districtwide results for Court of Appeal were Louisiana Court of Appeal Districtwide Results Mike McDonald (R) 74,504 Gideon Carter (D) 47,512 Trudy White (R) 30,797 McDonald received 48.8 percent

districtwide, Carter 31.1 percent, and Judge Trudy White 20 percent. In Central, the results were: Louisiana Court of Appeal City of Central only Mike McDonald (R) 9,254 Trudy White (R) 2,123 Gideon Carter (D) 1,323

Precinct Results Show Central Is Far Different from EBR Politically In Central, Judge McDonald re-ceived 72.7 percent, Judge White 17 percent, and attorney Carter 10.4 percent. On Dec. 8, the election ballot in Central will include only two races: • Louisiana Supreme Court • Louisiana Court of Appeal

Central Voters OK Term Limits CENTRAL — On Tuesday, voters in Central overwhelmingly ap-proved term limits for members of the Central Community School Board. The vote was 12,055 for to 2,372 against. As a result, in the future, mem-bers of the school board will be

limited to no more than three four-year terms. Under legisla-tion passed earlier this year, voters in each local school board district around the state voted on term lim-its. Voters in East Baton Rouge Parish approved term limits in the four school districts in the parish.

CENTRAL — The Kringlewood Christmas Tree Farm, a landmark in Central for the past 35 years, is selling the last of its Christmas trees, and none has been planted for future years, according to owner Reggie Pulliam, who cited health as his primary reason for closing. The next few days may be the last time to purchase a Christmas tree actually grown in Central. The farm, located at 9110 Greenwell Springs-Port Hudson Road, is open from 1 to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. The remaining inven-tory of trees is 20 percent off.

The facility was designed by J. Stewart Todd. The general con-tractor was Pete Firmin of Firmin Construction. Subcontractors were Phillips Electrical, Varnado Plumb-ing, Blanco Roofing, M.B. Heating & Air, Bankston Painting, Action Dirt Works, Southern Stucco, and Inland Masonry. Seale has invited Central to a rib-bon cutting this Saturday at noon.

ed. Central head coach Sid Edwards is quick to remind his coaching staff and players that last year Ponchatoula eliminated Dutchtown, one of the top teams in the state in the first round of the playoffs. “We were ranked 33rd in the state that week and beat No. 1-ranked St. Paul’s. That victory got a lot of attention. That was the same week Ponchatoula beat Dutchtown. This year, the roles are reversed, and we are on high alert,” he said. Coach Sid had high praise for Ponchatoula head coach Hank Tierney, whom Edwards considers one of the “legends” of the game. “When we take the field against Coach Tierney, we’re playing a future Hall of Famer,” he said. Tierney, who has won three state championships, is in his 34th year of coaching. Most of his career was spent at Archbishop Shaw and then West Jef-ferson before coming to Ponchatoula after Hurri-cane Katrina. Tierney has a career record of 221-78 and is ranked 28th among all high school coaches in state history.

Whoever their opponent is had better be ready.” Simoneaux said his offense had a good night against Live Oak. “Gary Triplett had a stellar night. He had some electrifying runs. Jake Myer also had a great night. Regarding Ponchatoula, Simoneaux said, “This is a very good Ponchatoula team. They run the triple option double slot. They like to score a lot of points and then keep the ball away from you. On defense, they have six returning starters. They’re big up front and have a very athletic secondary.

Courville: Top Candidate for All-State QBField GeneralWith 2,800+Yards, 26 TD’s

CENTRAL — When District 4-5A coaches meet next Wednesday to se-lect an All-District team, one player worthy of consideration is Central’s senior quarterback Brett Courville. He’s also a potential All-State selec-tion and major college prospect in both football and baseball. Courville’s numbers are outstand-ing. He’s passed for more than 2,000 yards, averaging 200 yards a game, and run for another 800 yards, ac-counting for 26 TD’s by passing and running — one of the highest totals in the state. He’s an able field gener-al who puts together a win. Central is 9-1 this year and just won its 5th straight District 4-5A Champion-ship, the second under Courville. But this young man is about more than numbers. He’s a student of the game, an all-round athlete, an out-standing student, and a standard-bearer for the Wildcats’ public image. Every Sunday night, Courville travels to Coach David Simoneaux’s home. David’s girlfriend makes din-ner, and the coach and the quarter-back review game films. “He gets a head start on the week. He prepares religiously. He is a stu-dent of the game. He dissects the op-position’s defense, and he’s ready,” Simoneaux says. “He has superb physical ability. He’s not large — 5’9” and 195” —

but he’s an all-round athlete. He’s a pocket passer and a running back from the quarterback position.” Courville passes with great ac-curacy. He’s had only five inter-ceptions this year in more than 200 passing attempts, and most of the interceptions were in end-of the-half Hail Mary situations. Central is blessed with a stable of five or six running backs who could easily be named All-District or All-State. “With the talent we have on offense, we need someone to dis-tribute the football. Brett does that flawlessly,” Simoneaux said. Courville reads the defense. The Wildcats run the triple option. Cour-ville hands off to the tailback, runs, or throws. He has a sure hand and doesn’t make many mistakes. He’s a bullet passer, he runs like a full-back, and he likes to hit hard. He quick-kicks when necessary, and av-erages 40 yards a punt. “We say he’s a combination of Cool Hand Luke and John Wayne. Nothing ever bothers him. No real highs or lows, just solid and steady. A cool character,” the coach said. Simoneaux says Courville is a model football player. “He’s our standard-bearer. We don’t worry about Brett. He’s always at the workout. On time. Setting the standard. He’s a two sport athlete.” “The key to Courville is his char-acter — great character — and his tremendous work ethic,” Simoneaux said. “If Courville’s not picked up by a major college, somebody’s making a big mistake. I think of one game recently. By the end of the first quarter, he had run for 58 yards and passed for 198.” Courville has a high grade point average. He is an All-District base-ball player.

ALL-STATE PROSPECT Brett Courville of Central High School is a great athlete and a young man of character, according to offensive coordinator David Simoneaux (right).

FLAT STANLEY VISITS ST. ALPHONSUS SCHOOL — Dr. Melanie Verges, superin-tendent for Catholic schools, visited Mrs. Nicosia’s and Mrs. Ashford’s 2nd grade classes to discuss Flat Stanley’s Adventure to the Holy Land. The students read the Flat Stanley book in class, took an AR test, and created their very own Flat Stanley to bring on their own ad-ventures. They also made Flat Stanley T-shirts and decorated cookies for Flat Stanley Day!

Flat Stanley Visits St. Alphonsus

Dear Editor, Thanks for the good reporting you do. I want to share my story about Greenwell Springs Road. Three Friday nights ago I was com-ing along Greenwell Springs from Sullivan toward Magnolia Bridge Rd. when I encountered a truck with four very bright lights that totally blinded me. I couldn’t see the middle nor the side of the road where it ended and the dirt started. I had to come almost to a total stop and when I was past the truck I found myself in a curve. Had I not stopped as I did, I most probably would have had a head-on collision. I was so outdone because that road is so badly in need of mark-ers and stripes. Everybody wonders why there are so many accidents. Well, this is the problem or at least a major

Letter to Editor: More on Greenwell Springs Roadproblem besides the speed and bright lights. One more thing, I want to talk to someone, maybe David Vitter, about a law to stop automobile factories from putting all these lights on vehicles, especially the blue and clear lights. While I was in Russia in the 90’s, they couldn’t run their lights except on low beam and they were a lot lower than our low beams. That was to save en-ergy, can you believe? Anyway, just wanted to pass this on for your information and I hope you can get the ball rolling since I was sup-pose to go out Greenwell Springs Rd. tonight but since it is supposed to rain I chose not to go out that way, period. Thanks and blessings, Ruth Newcomer Phone 275-2082
