A convicted drug dealerreceived a hefty sentenceMonday in court by 26th

Judicial District Judge MikeNerren.

Voltaire Sullivan, con-victed on four counts ofdistribution in March, wassentenced to 20 years oncount two to run concur-

rent to 20 years on countthree. He was also sen-tenced to 15 years oncount one to run concur-rent to 15 years on countfour, giving him a total of35 years.

District AttorneySchuyler Marvin noddedhis agreement with thesentence, given Sullivan’scriminal history.

“Mr. Sullivan wasrevoked onparole morethan onetime whichshows thathe is notcapable ofc o m p l y i n gwith lawfulb e h a v i o r,”Marvin said. “We are sim-

ply wasting our resourcesto continue to pursue peo-ple who have already beengiven multiple chancesand continue to show apattern of criminal behav-ior. In this case, I do thinkthat a multiple offenderbill is appropriate and weintend to use it, which will


The option to move the kinder-garten and first grade students toJ.A. Phillips Middle School and thesixth grade students to WebsterJunior High School passed with avote of 7-4, with one absent.

In favor of moving the elemen-tary students from J.E. Harper Ele-mentary School were board mem-bers Brandon Edens, John Mad-den, Johnnye Kennon, Penny Long,Frankie Mitchell, Jerri O’Neal andRonnie Rhymes. Against the movewere board members Jerry Lott,Charles Strong, Ronnie Broughtonand Malachi Ridgel. Linda Kinseywas absent.

It was made clear during themeeting that no one was absolute-ly against building twonew wings –

one on Phillips and one on Webster– but it was what to do with theHarper facility once it’s vacated.

Broughton says he wouldn’tsupport the effort if the school wastorn down. Other members were infavor of repurposing the building,but Lott says he was against theidea because there was no clearplan on what to do with Harperand they would need a clear planin order to garner the support topass an extension of the current 29mill ad valorem tax already inplace.

“I would have a hard time sup-porting a proposal not knowingwhat we’re going to do at Harper,”Lott said. “We’re going to have awing at Phillips, a wing at Webster,

we’re going to move 700 kids and$6.5 million, and we’re going toabandon the school that’s one ofthe newer schools in town. Are wegoing to tear it down, rent it or useit for something else? That ought tobe part of the pack-age.”

Ridgel says if theyaren’t specific in theentirety of the propos-al, it won’t pass.

“We need to be asspecific as we can andlet the folks know,” hesaid. “When you starttalking about taxes,you have to be specific.”

Mitchell says during the publicmeetings both at Central Officeand Harper, this option was dis-cussed as well as funding options,even though nothing was concreteat the time.

During discussion, it became

LONDON — Stock mar-kets across Europetrimmed earlier lossesTuesday amid speculationthat the Greek governmentis considering a last-minute effort to break thedeadlock between thecountry and its creditors.

The Stoxx 50 index ofleading European shareswas down 0.4 percent,having earlier traded morethan 1 percent lower. Ger-many's DAX was flat at11,073, while the CAC-40in France fell 0.1 percentto 4,853.

Tuesday is crunch dayfor Greece as has a bigrepayment due to theInternational MonetaryFund. It's also the day thatthe country's bailout pro-gram with European credi-tors ends. Without anextension to the bailoutprogram, the country willlose access to remainingrescue funds.

The fear in the marketsis that the country willdefault on its debts andditch the euro — develop-ments that could derail afragile economic recovery.

With the deadlinelooming Jean-ClaudeJuncker, the head of theEuropean Union's execu-

tive Commission, made alast-ditch effort to helpGreece get a bailout deal,provided Greek PrimeMinister Alexis Tsiprascampaigns for staying inthe euro.

Though no officialresponse has been issued,some traders see the factthat there are talks as ahopeful sign.

"Deep down there is asense that some sort ofcompromise will bereached before the dead-

line — it's the eurozoneway," said David Madden,market analyst at IG.

Greece will likelyremain the focus of atten-tion in markets this week,especially if no deal isreached. On Sunday,Greece is due to hold a ref-erendum on the recentproposals by its creditors.The government has saidit will urge a vote against.

Earlier, Asian stockmarkets bounced backTuesday, recouping some

BATON ROUGE—Louisiana's penalties forhaving small amounts ofmarijuana have been low-ered.

Gov. Bobby Jindalsigned the measure intolaw Monday, along with abill that will eventually get

medical marijuana to peo-ple suffering from cancer,glaucoma and a severeform of cerebral palsythrough a limited numberof distributors.

Someone caught withless than 14 grams of mari-juana now faces up to 15days in jail and up to sixmonths if caught with lessthan 2.5 pounds but more

than 14 grams. A secondoffense has dropped froma felony charge to a misde-meanor crime, carrying asentence of no more thansix months, under the billby Rep. Austin Badon, D-New Orleans.

If someone gets caughton a second offense — andit's been more than twoyears since the first convic-

tion — that again will betreated like a first offense.But a repeat offender canonly tap into that "cleans-ing period" once.

By conviction on a thirdoffense of marijuana pos-session, a felony chargekicks in, carrying a penaltyof up to two years inprison. The maximumpenalty on later offenses

has dropped from 20 yearsin prison to eight years.

While those penaltychanges were immediate,state officials expect it totake two years or more formedical-grade pot to makeit into the hands of anyonewith a prescription. That'sbecause of the extensiveregulatory process tochoose and oversee a

state-sanctioned growerand 10 licensed distribu-tors.

LSU and Southern Uni-versity get first right ofrefusal to grow the medici-nal crop, under the bill bySen. Fred Mills, R-Parks. Ifboth schools decline, apublic bidding process isopened.

Jindal agrees to medical marijuana, lessened pot penalties

clear that the board willhave to ask voters toextend the tax, which willsunset in 2024.

Board member JohnMadden, in Monday’smeeting and in a previousspecial called meetingmade it clear that a total of$6 million might not beenough to cover all theexpenses.

Attorney GrantSchleuter, with Foley andJudell in New Orleans, saysmills would not have to beincreased if they don’t askfor more than $6.5 million.

“There is no increase inthe current 29 mills that’sbeing levied for all of theoutstanding bonds for Dis-trict 6,” Schleuter said.“$6.5 million is the maxi-mum that could be issuedwithout a millage impact,but that’s based upon rea-sonable estimates that youcould go to the voters with

a not-exceeding $6.5 mil-lion in general obligationfunds.”

He says with the nextavailable election date onNov. 21, the board wouldhave to have two schoolboard meetings roughly 45days apart and the inten-tion to ask for a ballotproposition would have tobe announced. So in orderto meet these state lawrequirements, the board’sintention would have to beannounced at the board’sJuly 13 meeting and run inthe newspaper therequired number of timesas well.

Schleuter went on to saythat general obligationbonds are the most securebonds with the lowestinterest rates.

A special meeting willbe set to begin the processof gathering quotes for theproject. The date and timewill be announced as soonas it becomes available.The board will meet againat 6 p.m., Monday, July 13.

SHREVEPORT — The NationalWeather Service says the Red Riverwill crest near 31 feet Tuesday andbegin a slow fall around middayWednesday.

The Times reports the weatherservice briefed Bossier Parish SheriffJulian Whittington, Mayor Lo Walkerand others Monday about a 1.5 foot

lower prediction than the previousprediction of 32.5 feet. However, thiscrest is still a foot above flood stage of30 feet.

Authorities say the new crest mayproduce some minor backwaterflooding in southern Bossier Parish.

Residents wanting to have sand-bags removed can place them on the

curb in front of their house and con-

tact the Bossier Parish Highway

Maintenance Department for pick-

up. But Whittington encourages resi-

dents to keep them close since the

river remains high and any signifi-

cant rainfall could change the level.

It is Monday, June 29 asI sit at my computer towrite this for the MindenPress-Herald. It is a spe-cial day of memories forme because it is my pre-cious daughter’s (CarolJeannette Farley) 60thbirthday.

Carol has been a joysince the day she wasborn.She is acaring,loving,fun per-son andis thelight ofmy (andmanyothers)life. Wehave anout-standing mother-daughterrelationship and she isalways there for me whenI, in my old age, need herhelp. God has trulyblessed me since that dayshe was born in 1955.

Carol’s husband, Herb,gave her a SURPRISEbirthday party Saturday.Many of her friends andfamily attended. Herb

barbequed ribs andsausage; friends providedthe potato salad, bakedbeans, all the trimmingsand of course the cakewith a black icing. Deco-rations were all in “blackover the hill” theme. Itwas a BIG successful sur-prise for Carol and a funtime for all there.

Carol’s favorite food isshrimp. Once when shewas about 7 years old wewere vacationing in Col-orado and we had beendriving through a rough,deserted terrain.

The Los AngelesLakers and HoustonRockets will get the firstopportunities to meetwith LaMarcus Aldridgeshortly after thefree-agency peri-od officiallybegins at 12:01a.m. ETWednesday.

Aldridge alsowill meet with theSan AntonioSpurs, DallasM a v e r i c k s ,Phoenix Suns andToronto Raptorson Wednesdayand with the New YorkKnicks on Thursday,league sources toldESPN.com.

According to onesource, the chance ofAldridge staying with thePortland Trail Blazers is

"very unlikely."Knicks star Carmelo

Anthony has alreadycalled Aldridge, sourcestold ESPN The

Magazine's ChrisBroussard.

The Knickswill emphasizethat in the EasternConference, theroad to becomingan All-Star and aplayoff team ismuch less cloggedthan in the West.

E S P N . c o mreported in Maythat the Spurs and

Mavericks stronglybelieve they'll have agreat shot to lureAldridge back to hishome state of Texas. Butsources said last weekthat Aldridge is actuallythinking more and more

about a free-agent jumpto the Lakers.

The Lakers, sourcesadded, firmly believethey will now be in theAldridge hunt. And thereis a rising sentiment,sources said, that theLakers have edged pastthe Mavericks onAldridge's wish list eventhough he was a highschool star in Dallas.

The Spurs, sourcessay, continue to beAldridge's most likelydestination if he goesthrough with the idea ofleaving the Blazers tostart anew. The contin-gent for San Antonio'spitch to Aldridge isexpected to include TimDuncan, Tony Parker andGregg Popovich, accord-ing to multiple mediareports.

MIAMI (AP) — Therelationship betweenDwyane Wade and theMiami Heat is about to betested like never before,and the most accom-plished player in fran-chise history may soonhave a new home.

Wade will become afree agent Wednesday,electing to pass on a$16.1 million option fornext season and see whathe's worth on the openmarket. His decision wasannounced Mondayafternoon by aspokesperson in a 61-word press release, afterboth Wade and his agentHenry Thomas did notrespond to requests forcomment.

Wade played for allthree of Miami's NBAchampionship teams.He's been an All-Star in11 of his 12 seasons, andis Miami's all-time leaderin plenty of categoriesincluding games, points,assists and steals.

"We want Dwyaneback," Heat President PatRiley said last week."There's no doubt aboutthat."

There's doubt it willhappen.

As is usually the case,it will come down tomoney. Wade has leftabout $27 million on thetable during his careerand wants those sacri-fices rewarded in his nextcontract. But he's missed25 percent of Miami'sregular-season gamesover the last four seasonsand that, combined withhim turning 34 next sea-son, likely is weighingheavily on how much theHeat want to offer.

Wade ready tobecome a free agent

ST. PETERSBURG,Fla. (AP) — Somewherearound the fourth inning,Cody Anderson realizedhe was chasing perfection.

"I kind of knew thateverything was going pret-ty smooth," Cleveland'srookie right-hander saidafter taking a bid for a per-fect game into the seventhinning of his second majorleague start on Mondaynight. "I just tried to keepthrowing strikes and keepthe approach the same."

Anderson, facing theTampa Bay Rays for thesecond time in eight days,didn't allow a baserunneruntil Grady Sizemorehomered against his oldteam on a 1-2 pitch withone out in the seventh.Rather than historyAnderson settled for hisfirst major league win asthe Indians rolled to a 7-1victory.

"That was impressive,"Indians manager TerryFrancona said. "He's twostarts in, but he's faced ateam for the second time,so they've seen him. Lasttime out, he flipped somegood breaking balls.Today, he had a real goodplan on his fastball ... andhe had a real good change-up."

Anderson leadsIndians to victory

School is out, vaca-tions are underway andfolks with a bent towardfishing are keeping thewaters of local lakes astirwith activity.

One of those anglerswho will be on the lake atevery opportunity is GregTerzia,

Owner of Greg Terzia’sBait and Tackle inRuston. According toTerzia, June is a goodtime to catch some quali-ty bass on either of histwo favorite area lakes,Caney and D’Arbonne.

“On Caney, the deepwater bite will now be infull swing. Unlike othernorth Louisiana lakes,Caney offers a deep waterfisherman's dream, and isfull of deep water humps,ridges, brush piles, creekbends, and road beds,”said Terzia.

“This type of deepwater structure is whereyou can find the fish con-gregating by June. I nor-

mally try to key on struc-ture between the depths of12 to 20 feet. Baits thatwill be key this month areNorman DD22crankbaits, Zoom OleMonster worms, MopJigs, Alabama Rigs, andShakey heads.

“You’ll alsoneed to keep aHeddon ZaraSpook Jr. tied onfor when theycome up school-ing over the deepwater structure.

“Night fishingwill also be goodthis month. Thereare lots of dockson Caney that now haveunderwater lights that arenot visible until you getright up on them. Theselights are awesome,because they draw a lot offish to them. I have had alot of success fishingthese lights at night with a8" Blue Fleck Red LakeFork worm. Also,” Terzia

added, “I've also hadgood success burningshad colored crankbaitsthrough the lights, whichdraw reaction strikes.”

Switching to favoritelake number two, Terzialoves to be on D’Arbonne

for hot actionmatching the ther-mometer. Bothwill be hot by lateJune.

“This is by farone of the bestmonths to fishD’Arbonne. Thebass should bepulling to channelholes feeding ongizzard shad and

can be caught on NormanDD22 crankbaits, Shakeyhead worms, Zoom Olemonster worms, andCarolina rigs,” Terziasaid.

“Most of these fish canbe found where the mainchannel makes big bendsthroughout the lake. Ifyou’re not much of a deep

water fisherman, there'sgood news for you; theshallow water bite is alsoawesome and you canbust them fishing lilypads up Corney and LittleD’Arbonne.

“My baits of choice forthis shallow water patternare Yellow Magics, ChugBugs, Spro Frogs,Wobbleheads, and 1/4ounce Rat-L-Traps fancasted around the flats,”Terzia said.

“The shad will reallybegin to bunch up aswater temperatures warm.Darbonne has alwaysbeen a funny lake to mewhen it comes to summertime fishing because thefish can be found in someof the weirdest areas. Youcan bet you will find fishon the channel ledges,that’s a given, but keepyour eyes peeled forschoolies in the flats asfar as a football field’slength away from thechannel,” Terzia said.

“These fish can befound grouped up blow-ing up on shad, and attimes in less than a foot ofwater. My two favoritebaits to throw at the shal-low water schooling fishare a 1/4 ounce chromeRat-L-Trap and aCarolina rig, rigged witha Christmas Tree RedZoom finesse worm.Areas you can find theseschooling fish will bespread all over the lake,but my favorite part of thelake to hammer them isup Corney Creek.”

If enjoying an excitingday chasing bass aroundnorthern Louisiana isyour “thing”, follow theadvice of this bass-catch-ing guru. Greg Terziaknows how to get ‘erdone.

9/11 – it is a day etched intothe memory of every Americanwho remembers that day.

And it was a day etched intothe memories of the MindenHigh School class of 2002. Tocommemorate and rememberthe lives lost that day, the seniorclass built a memorial on thecampus of their school as theirmark for a day that raised patri-otism to a new level.

Former principal MorrisBusby says it was one of thosedays where everyone remem-bered where they were and whatthey were doing when the newsbroke the United States had beenattacked.

“It was really quite interest-ing,” Busby said. “When theywere getting ready for the pres-entation, they ended up spend-ing the night out there at thefootball field. They worked withthe art teacher on the design andcame up with the twin towersand the pentagon shape.”

Busby says they collected themoney for construction, addingit was entirely a senior class proj-ect.

“They brought it to me andasked if they could do it, and Isaid, ‘Hey, it’s a great idea,’ sothey did,” he said. “It was a goodproject; in fact, I think it was oneof the best senior projects we’vehad during that time.”

Chris Caswell, who headed upthe fundraising and constructionof the memorial, is a graduate ofthe class of 2002.

“I was always really patrioticand it hit everybody really hard,”Caswell said. “That was our sen-ior year, and I came up with thedesign and brought it up as asenior class gift, and everybodyvoted on it and liked it.”

There was a core group ofabout 10 people that actually didthe work, Caswell says. Most ofthe work was done by the stu-dents, except for major things

like pouring the concrete. All thematerials were paid for throughfundraisers, he says, and many ofthe materials were donated.

Retired U.S. Marine CorpsCpl. James Russell Moseley, who

recently made the difficult deci-sion to put his military K-9 part-ner, Canvas, down, was also amember of the same graduatingclass. Caswell praised Moseleyfor his patriotism and the work

he put into the memorial. 9/11was also one of the main con-tributing factors in his decisionto join the military, Caswell says.

“He was one of the majorhelpers,” he said. “He and I grew

up together and we were room-mates in college. It was reallytough on all of us to see that, andwe wanted to make sure thateverybody coming behind usrealized what happened to ourcountry. So we decided to put itat the football field so that everytime the Pledge of Allegiance orthe National Anthem was done,they would realize what it is fromthe shape and the twin towers.”

The monument is shaped likethe Pentagon in memorial tothose who lost their lives that daywhen a plane plowed into theside of the nation’s militarydefense site. The twin towers sig-nify memorials to the nearly3,000 lives lost following the col-lapse of the two signature build-ings.

Busby says the day of theattacks, everyone, faculty, staffand students gathered aroundtelevisions and watched theevents unfold.

“That day sticks in my mind,with that day being a school day,it was just scary awesome,” hesaid. “Nobody knew at first whatmight be next or what mighthappen. I remember in particu-lar, I had to go to Baton Rouge fora meeting, and on the way toBaton Rouge, it was so eerie,because that was the day they’dgrounded all flights. There wereno flights for a couple of days,and all you could hear on theradio was ideas of what hap-pened and why. It was just aweird day to be away fromhome.”

Caswell says his hope is thegraduating classes that havecome behind him and those tocome will take care of the memo-rial, even though he still goes tothe school and checks on it andcares for it himself. It was a proj-ect very near and dear to hisheart, he says.

9/11 leaves mark on MHSALWAYS REMEMBER. NEVER FORGET.

The Class of 2002 built and dedicated a memorial in memory of the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. ChrisCaswell was chairman and fellow committee members who worked on the project include Russ Moseley,Riley Baker, Timmy Dillard, Robert Goodson, Cassidy Stevenson and Josh Bryant.

but was to be sent toPhiladelphia and activeduty.

En route there he heardthe news that Japan hadsurrendered and hearrived in Philadelphiajust in time for all the Vic-tory parties. George couldnot believe he had beenawarded the Silver Star,because he thought hewas doing what he shoulddo.

His Citation from theUnited States MarineCorps reads as follows:

In the name of the Pres-ident of the United States,the Commanding General,Fleet Marine Force, Pacif-ic, takes pleasure inawarding the SILVER STARMEDAL to CORPORALGEORGE A. CALVIT, JUN-IOR, UNITED STATESMARINE CORPS RESERVEfor service as set forth inthe following:

CITATION: “For con-spicuous gallantry andintrepidity in actionagainst the enemy on IWOJIMA, VOLCANOISLANDS, while serving asa rifleman in a Marine riflecompany, on 15 March,1945. While his platoon

was in the assault withtank support, CORPORALCALVIT, on his own initia-tive, skillfully directed thefire from a tank against anenemy machine gun nestwhich was holding up hisplatoon and the companyto their left. The heavymortar, artillery, and smallarms fire which the tanksdrew had driven off sever-al men attempting to actas guides. CORPORALCALVIT stood up besidethe tank and fearlesslypointed his weapon at thetarget and fired tracersinto it to designate theenemy gun until theenemy fire seriouslywounded him. His braveryand determination were inkeeping with the highesttradition of the UnitedStates Naval Service.”

S/H/S H. M. SMITH,Lieutenant GeneralU. S. Marine Corps.There were 5,931

Marines killed and 17,372wounded at Iwo Jima. Of

the 21,000 Japanesedefending the island only216 lived to be taken pris-oner. If the cost of taking 8square miles was nearly28,000 dead and over17,000 wounded, thinkwhat the cost in liveswould have been forAmerica to try to invadeJapan His answer to thequestion about should wehave dropped the bomb isa decided YES. He saw hisfriends killed and maimedall around and he knowsthe terrible price in livesfrom both sides. Thatbomb prevented probablya million more lives frombeing lost.

had going for him at Lake-side was his Lakeside 'fam-ily.'

Scott said Thomas'ssuccess wouldn't havebeen possible without theguidance of coaches Boband Will Gray, Joey Pessesand Michael Welch.

Admittedly harder tocorral than his older broth-er Garrett, Scott also want-ed to thank Beverly Hood,Mark and Melissa Griffith,Hewitt and Sherry Whiteand Lakeside principleJohnny Rowland for treat-ing Thomas like one oftheir own over the yearsand helping keep him inline, along with Thomas'sbest friends Luke Griffithand Coulson White.

"Me and Thomas'sbond is great," Scott said."But there were a lot ofpeople who had a hand inhis success.

Thomas isn't sure whatrole he wants to play forthe Navy yet, but he hasexpressed interest in twoareas: Engineering and avi-ation.

All of that comes later,what comes first is Plebesummer.

"It's pretty much theirversion of basic training,"Thomas said. "It's a lot ofphysical and mental strainto see where you fit inphys-ically and mentally amongyour class."

The six-week program isthe first step down a toughroad, but it's a road pavedby past generations ofLambert's, of whichThomas is next in line.

"He has a deep vein ofpatriotic blood flowingthrough him," Scott Lam-bert said. "As a father, Icouldn't be more proud ofhis decision."

The Star-SpangledBanner

This powerful poem put tomusic was selected by Congressin 1931 as the official nationalanthem of the United States.

Written by Francis Scott Keyin 1814, this song portrays oneman's delight at seeing the Amer-ican flag still flying proudly afterwatching the shelling of FortMcHenry by the British

The poem was first publishedunder the title "Defense of Fort

M'Henry," and was sung to thetune "To Anacreon in Heaven."

God Bless AmericaThis song that many consider theunofficial national anthem of the

United States of America wascomposed by Irving Berlin

(1888-1989) for his show "Yip,Yip, Yaphank."

But Berlin later felt the sombertone that particular song did notfit in with the upbeat, comic ele-ments of the show, and put it on

hold for 20 years until 1938 whenwar was threatening Europe.

Kate Smith first sang the songon her radio show on ArmisticeDay, 1938.

Berlin was an immigrant fromSiberia, and came to Americawhen he was only 5 years old.
