SUNDAYFEBRUARY 1, 2015

After a week-long trial that saw both the prosecution and the defense share their views of the events that led up to the June 6, 2014 double shooting that claimed the life of one man and injured another, a jury found Rosalyn Breaux guilty of negligent homicide but not guilty of attempted second-degree murder.

Friday saw victim Nicholas Coble wrap up his testimony, and the jury also heard from Tommy Ardoin, the owner of the home and brother of Jeremy Ardoin, who was killed the day of the shootings. Tommy testified that he had showed Breaux how to use one of the pump shotguns in his home, but never had instructed her on how to use the crack-barrel shotgun that was used in the shootings. Tommy also said that Breaux had told him she was scared of Coble, but she kept calling him because of her addiction to methamphet-amine.

After both the state and defense rested, both sides issued their closing statements before turning the decision over to the jury.

Prosecutor Kevin Millican explained to the jury that he thought he met his burden of prov-ing beyond a reasonable doubt that Breaux showed specific intent to kill both Jeremy Ardoin and Coble.

“I said from the begin-ning, I have never seen a gun load itself,” said Millican. “Breaux had to load the gun, cock the gun, aim the gun and fire it. If that doesn’t show an intent, I don’t know what does.”

Defense attorney Ric Oustalet, Jr., however, dis-agreed by saying the state had never given evidence that showed Breaux had an intent to kill anyone that day, and put all of its eggs in one basket with the testimony of a known liar.

“The state has centered its whole case on the testimony of Nick Coble, who is a known

liar and who had holes in his testimony the whole time,” said Oustalet. “You have the right as jurors to disregard anything Coble said if you feel he is a liar.”

The jury then left the courtroom and deliber-ated for a little over an hour before reaching its verdict.

Breaux will face up to five years in prison for the charge of negligent homicide and, according to Oustalet, will probably remain in the parish jail until her sentencing on May 4, 2015.

Oustalet said that the defense would accept the decision of the jury, but

that nobody really wins in a case like this.“I’m happy for Ms. Breaux that she had

the opportunity to have her case heard by a jury of her peers and we will accept the deci-

sion made by the jury,” said Oustalet. “At the end of the day, nobody wins in this case because Jeremy Ardoin is no longer with us. Our hearts go out to the family of Jeremy Ardoin during this time.”

Breaux’s stepmother Jessica Menard explained although the worst part of the is over, the family still believes Breaux is innocent.

“We feel strongly that Rosalyn acted in self-defense and we support her 100 per-cent,” said Menard. “Ric (Oustalet) did an amazing job of defending Rosalyn in this case and we just want to thank him for all he did.”

Amber Guillory, sister-in-law of Tommy Ardoin, touched on the fact that she felt the verdict did not fit the severity of the crime committed.

“I think the verdict that we received is totally ridiculous. Our family lost an innocent person for the rest of our lives. I think her family should have to lose her as well,” said Guillory. “This time has really put a strain on our family and has really been hard on Tommy. He was really close with his broth-er Jeremy and this has totally hardened him.”

Jennings Elementary School (JES) recently hosted a Career Day for its sixth graders.

In preparation for the career day event, the school invited different representa-tives to speak, and presented the students with the list of career options. The students then chose up to eight dif-ferent careers to learn about. Over 50 guests representing different career and business representatives took turns speaking for 30-minute ses-sions from 8 a.m. till noon. Every 30 minutes, guest speakers changed out and the students went to their next available guest speaker.

years ago.“Sixth grade is a very

impressionable grade level,” said Stephanie. “They are at an age when they are just beginning to show an interest in different career options. By the time they get to high school, they will begin to think about what they want to do when they grow up and how to begin pursuing that career, even if their interests change over the years. Now with the JumpStart program, this is another opportunity for them to begin planning for their future and they can begin taking high school courses in the seventh and eighth grade. This is the age to get them thinking about career options so they can begin a plan for college or technical school.”

Stephanie’s first group of students that she began the Career Day program with are now in high school and approaching graduation.

BreAnn Davis is an elev-enth grader at Jennings High School (JHS). She was a part of Reed’s first class five years ago.

“It helped me a lot when it came to figuring out what field I want to work in,” said BreAnn. “I remember visit-ing classes for dentistry, a donut shop and cosmetology. Because of what I learned during my sixth grade Career Day, I’ve learned that I have a strong interest in either dentistry or cosmetology. It helped me to figure out what my career interests are. If I hadn’t had that introduction at that age then I wouldn’t have had any idea what I wanted to do now.”

Some of the guest speak-ers said that the event was a learning experience for them as well.

Jeff Davis Parish Behavior Interventionist and Licensed Social Worker Joelyn Doland was one of those

guest speakers.“I’ve visited the school

a couple of times in previ-ous years,” said Doland. “I spoke to the students about what a social worker does. I explained how our thoughts, feelings, and behavior relate to each other and how they affect our actions. They picked up on the topic very well and they were very engaged in the session. One thing I noticed was that most of the girls showed more of an interest in working with younger children while most of the boys showed more of an interest in working with the elderly.”

Department of Transportation and Development Civil Engineer Kevin Seilhan said this is the first time he visited such an event.

“I planned to explain to the students different aspects of what we do,” he said. “I have pictures of bridges and buildings and I wanted to explain to them how much math is an important sub-ject to study for this type of work.”

Head Pastor Blaine St. Germaine spoke to a group of students about what it meant to be a pastor.

“I have four degrees that I find help me to do my job,” said St. Germaine. “At one time I was unsure of what I wanted to do and that’s ok also. Now I have an asso-ciate’s degree in business, bachelors in psychology, masters in leadership/theolo-gy and a PhD. in counseling. It isn’t necessary to have all four of these to be a pastor, but I find that they help me do my job as a minister better and I want to explain to them how they have been benefi-cial. But the most important aspect of my job is the desire to help people.”

Retired Jennings High School coach and educator Danny Reed said this was his third visit to JES Career Day. He informed his group of students of the requirements

and certifications that it takes to teach others.

“The students were very attentive and they asked some great questions,” said Danny. “Kids are having to make career choices at much younger ages now. I think this career day program is a wonderful way to intro-duce them to options they might not otherwise think of. It gives them things to think about before they are faced with making such an impor-tant decision.”

“The over all feedback from the students seems to be very positive,” Stephanie concluded. “They really love it. They ask a lot of questions that they might not have been thinking about before actually having someone from that profes-sion there in front of them to discuss it. It’s always a pleasant surprise to hear what they come up with.”

Registered nurse Darci Portie spoke to the students about what it means to be a nurse and what kind of responsibilities are involved with nursing.

ATLANTA (AP) — The daughter of late singer and entertainer Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in a bathtub Saturday and taken to a hospital in the north Atlanta suburbs, police said.

Bobbi Kristina Brown was found by her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend and given CPR, said Officer Lisa Holland, a spokeswoman for the Roswell Police Department. When police arrived, they gave Brown addi-tional care until she was taken alive to North Fulton Hospital.

A hospital spokeswoman did not return repeated messages seeking comment on Brown’s condition.

The incident remains under investi-

gation, police said.Brown, 21, is the only child of

Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown. A representative for the fam-ily did not immediately return mes-sages seeking comment.

Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, 2012, in Beverly Hills, California. The 48-year-old Houston had struggled for years with cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her behavior had become erratic.

Authorities examining Houston’s death found a dozen prescription drug bottles in the hotel suite. They concluded that Houston accidentally drowned. Heart disease and cocaine

use were listed as contributing factors in Houston’s death.

Over her career, Houston sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone. Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of songs like “Saving All My Love For You,” ‘’I Will Always Love You,” ‘’The Greatest Love of All” and “I’m Every Woman.” Her six Grammys were only a fraction of her many awards.

Houston had her first No. 1 hit by the time she was 22, followed by a flurry of No. 1 songs and multiplati-num records.

Houston left her entire estate to her daughter.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Legal battles arising from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill play out in two federal courtrooms in New Orleans this coming week.

On Monday, trial resumes in a federal district court-room where BP and a minor-ity partner in its ill-fated Macondo well are trying to fend off billions in Clean Water Act penalties.

On Tuesday, federal appeals court judges hear an appeal in which BP seeks the ouster of the man oversee-ing payments to businesses claiming harm from the spill.

The district court trial is entering its third week. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier has been hearing from duel-ing experts — witnesses called by each side as the Justice Department presses for a penalty for BP at or near a $13.7 billion maxi-mum. Government witness-es have cited evidence of real and potential harm to

environment and to coastal communities’ economies and social fabric.

BP witnesses have paint-ed a picture of a robust spill response and strong recovery from the spill. They disputed government witnesses’ find-ings as BP lawyers argue that the government has ignored some of its own data n pressing for the high fine. The maximum $13.7 billion figure would be arrived at if the judge applies the highest per-barrel fine of $4,300 to the amount of oil that pollut-ed the gulf. In a ruling earlier this month Barbier declared that 3.19 million barrels of oil was discharged, roughly midway between BP’s lower estimate and a higher gov-ernment estimate that could have pushed possible penal-ties to about $18 billion.

On Monday, Anadarko, a minority partner in the well where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, is expected to present its case

against a penalty that the government has suggested should exceed $1 billion. Anadarko lawyers have argued that the company should be spared any signifi-cant penalty because it was an investor but not an opera-tor in the well and because the court already has said it was not culpable in the disaster.

The trial is expected to end this week but a quick ruling from Barbier isn’t expected because a schedule for filing post-trial documents contin-ues into April.

While that trial plays out, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will consider BP’s arguments that Patrick Juneau, administrator of claims arising from a settle-ment BP reached with busi-nesses claiming economic harm from the 2010 spill.

The settlement was reached in 2012 and was once heralded by all

involved. BP, however, has since argued that Juneau has misinterpreted the settle-ment. In December, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the oil giant’s fight against the settlement.

Meanwhile, BP has been seeking Juneau’s ouster, arguing not only that the settlement terms have been misinterpreted, but also accusing Juneau of “gross mismanagement” and a conflict of interest that he didn’t disclose when he was appointed to administer set-tlement claims: that Juneau “actively advocated against BP’s interests and litigated against BP in this very case as part of his work for the state of Louisiana in 2010 and 2011,” according to a statement from BP spokes-man Geoff Morrell last month.

Barbier flatly rejected BP’s arguments in November, leading the corporation to head to the 5th U.S. Circuit

Legal battles from 2010 spill to unfold in two US courtroomsCourt of Appeals, where a three-judge panel will hear arguments Tuesday.

The penalty trial and appeals court case are two among many lingering legal

cases arising from the April 20, 2010, explosion of the Deepwater Horizon, which killed 11 workers and sent oil spewing into the gulf for 87 days.

Jeff Davis 4-Hers Marlee Fontenot, Sydney Brucchaus and Brea White had “sew” much fun repre-senting Jeff Davis Parish at the 2015 State 4-H Fashion Camp. The camp theme was “I partied at the 2015 State 4-H Fashion Camp.” 4-H’ers learned the basics of sewing, designing gar-ments and how to model. They also made flower crowns, sewing caddies, pillow runners, vests, donut pillows and cinch sacks as well as dog toys, which will be donated the Humane Society.

The educational camp is conducted by the Louisiana State 4-H Fashion Board

and 4-H’ers were assisted by volunteer leader Paulette Adams and 4-H agent Kori Myers. These 4-H members will share their knowledge gained by teaching sew-ing workshops to fellow 4-H members in Jeff Davis Parish. As the clothing proj-ect in the parish continues to grow, there is always a need for more machines and materials. Anyone wishing to donate a sewing machine to the 4-H program, please contact the 4-H office at 824-1773.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s almost show time.When the Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday, 40-plus advertis-

ers will be hoping to win over the more than 110 million viewers tuning in. After paying $4.5 million for a 30-second spot, adver-tisers are hoping to have the ad everyone will be talking about Monday morning.

Here are 10 Super Bowl ads to watch out for:BUDWEISER “LOST DOG”

Brewer Anheuser-Busch’s 60-second ad shows a Labrador puppy chasing after the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales that are being moved to a new stable. The tune, “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles),” performed by Sleeping performs in the background. The ad is the sequel to last year’s “Best Buds,” showing the bond between a puppy and Clydesdale, a spot many considered the best ad of the 2014 Super Bowl.

Online: https:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAsjRRMMg_Q

MCDONALD’S “PAY WITH LOVIN’”In its 60-second spot, the fast-food chain announces that it will

let random customers pay for their food with acts of goodwill, such as calling their moms and telling them they love them. It’s part of a Valentine’s Day promotion that will start on the day after the Super Bowl.

Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq2Sm2XGv_sSNICKERS “THE BRADY BUNCH”

Snickers 30-second ad recreates the famous Brady Bunch episode in which the oldest daughter, Marcia, gets hit in the nose with a football. Florence Henderson and action movie “Machete” star Danny Trejo also make appearances for the Mars brand.

Online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqbomTIWCZ8NFL’S “NO MORE”

The NFL is airing a public service announcement from No More, a coalition of anti-domestic abuse organizations. The 60-second ad depicts a chilling 911 call from a battered woman to demonstrate the terror of domestic abuse.

ALWAYS’ “LIKE A GIRL”Procter & Gamble’s Always feminine protection brand’s

60-second Super Bowl spot is a version of a viral video it aired in June. The ad shows adults and a boy running and throwing rather weakly when they’re asked to depict what it means to do those actions “like a girl.” But then they ask young girls, who run and throw with much more energy. Copy says “Let’s make #likeagirl mean amazing things.”

BMW “NEWFANGLED IDEA”In order to promote its new all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-sec-

ond spot, BMW enlisted former “Today” show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel to recreate a 1994 on-air conversa-tion when they tried to figure out what the @ symbol in an email address meant.

10 Super Bowl ads that everyone will be talking abouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1jwWwJ-Mxc

T-Mobile “#KIMSDATASTASH”To promote a service that lets users keep their unused data for

a year, wireless provider T-Mobile hired Kim Kardashian for a 30-second spoof on public service announcements. In the ad, she makes a plea to save people’s unused data taken back by wireless carriers. She laments that the data could have been used to see her makeup, vacations and outfits.

The automotive advertiser always surprises with memorable ads about its cars, starring celebrities such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and Oprah. The company says it will air three com-mercials during the Super Bowl this year but hasn’t released those ads.

NATIONWIDE’S “INVISIBLE MINDY KALING”Insurer Nationwide’s teaser for its Super Bowl ad shows

“Mindy Project” star Mindy Kaling believing she is invisible and doing scandalous acts, including sitting naked in Central Park and going through a car wash. The teaser indicates the Super Bowl ad itself will show what happens when Kaling real-izes she isn’t actually invisible.

Online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30yUzwSTKoGODADDY

Spoofing Budweiser’s popular ads featuring a puppy getting lost, GoDaddy released its Super Bowl ad that showed a puppy finding his way home only for his owner to say that she sold him online with a web site she created with Godaddy.com. Pet own-ers were outraged. GoDaddy said it wouldn’t air the spot, and instead air another one. The question is whether GoDaddy’s new ad will be edgy or take a more cautious route.

CHICAGO (AP) — Fans and friends paid tribute to legendary Chicago Cubs slugger Ernie Banks on Saturday, recall-ing how he helped break baseball’s color barrier during a Hall of Fame career in which he won over teammates and an entire city with the unwavering opti-mism he brought to the game and life.

At a memorial service in a Chicago church, the buoyant man known as “Mr. Cub” was remembered for his character as much as his accomplishments on the ballfield, including his 512 career home runs. Speaker after speaker recalled Banks’ unflagging spirit and good cheer — he enthusiastically predicted each spring that his team would win the pen-nant — as well as his humility and care for others.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Banks “disarmed adversaries with optimism” and “branded goodwill.” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Banks was a “humble hero” who taught younger generations “how to play the game of life.” Fellow Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins said the unassuming, joyful Banks strove to be a good teammate, not a star.

Billy Williams, another Hall of Famer, recalled animated conversations that he and Banks would have while driving to Wrigley Field on game days.

“I never did see him read a book, but he knew about everything,” Williams marveled.

Saturday would have been Banks’ 84th birthday, and several speakers called on the crowd to celebrate his life,

not mourn his passing. Banks, a two-time MVP, military veteran and winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, died Jan. 23 of a heart attack. His cof-fin, which was in front of the altar, was draped in a banner emblazoned with his jersey number, 14. A choir performed a rousing version of “This Little Light of Mine.”

Jackson, exhorting everyone to stand, led a thunderous round of applause to celebrate Banks’ birthday. In the hush that followed, the civil rights leader noted it was also the 150th anniversary of Congress passing the 13th amend-ment abolishing slavery.

“Smiling faces can sometimes con-ceal what’s deep within,” Jackson said, describing Banks’ cheerfulness as a thermostat that “helped control the tem-perature” of his times. The work of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. was possible because of Banks, Jackson said. “We rode on Ernie’s shoulders.”

Banks was the Cubs’ first black play-er when he joined the team in 1953, six years after Jackie Robinson broke base-ball’s color barrier.

Emanuel noted that in Banks’ early years with the Cubs, he couldn’t stay at some of the same hotels or eat at the same restaurants as his white teammates because of segregation. He suffered the same racial taunts and indignities as other black players of his time, but if he ever got angry, he never seemed to show it. In a 19-year career full of amazing sta-tistics, one of the most remarkable was

that he was never ejected from a game.Roosevelt Johnson, 45, arrived at

Chicago’s Fourth Presbyterian Church at 5:30 a.m. and was first in line.

“I wanted to pay my respects to a true icon of the sport,” said Johnson, of Zion.

Chicago native Estelle Martin, 56, said she loved to play baseball as a girl and collect baseball cards. “I was a tom-boy. Ernie Banks was my favorite. He was everybody’s favorite,” she said.

Banks’ connection to the city was evi-dent inside the church, where the pews were filled with mourners of all ages. There were young fans who knew him only from grainy video clips and from his appearances at the ballpark after he retired, always with a smile, always chat-ting with fans.

But there were also older men, partic-ularly older black men who remembered the days when Banks and others made history. While he wasn’t the first African American to play in the majors, Banks was the first with the Cubs in what was one of the most segregated cities in the United States.

Banks was playing for the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues when the Cubs purchased his contract for $10,000. He made his major league debut at shortstop and three days later hit his first home run.

With his play, particularly in the first chapters of his career when he was hit-ting home runs at a clip that no shortstop had ever hit them before, he simply won over a city.

Banks remembered for unwavering optimism

Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) agents will be out and about this Mardi Gras sea-son, so area businesses that serve tobacco and alcohol to minors should consider themselves warned.

ATC Commissioner Troy Hebert has ordered agents to hit the streets throughout this Mardi Gras season to ensure that alco-hol, tobacco, and alternative nico-tine products are being sold and served responsibly.

Agents have continued to increase the number of compli-ance checks they conduct during Mardi Gras celebrations statewide in an attempt to keep alcohol, tobacco, and alternative nico-tine products out of the hands of underage persons.

During Mardi Gras 2014, ATC agents conducted close to 230 compliance checks of businesses along parade routes statewide. Of those businesses checked, ATC issued 69 citations for sales to underage persons.

Last August, several local busi-nesses were cited for underage sales after ATC agents conducted 6,598 compliance checks through-out the state during the agency’s 2014 Summer Crackdown. Nine citations were issued to seven Jeff Davis Parish businesses, while 895 citations were issued statewide.

Approximately 14 percent of the businesses checked through-out the summer actually sold to minors.

Citations were issued to a busi-ness in Elton, three businesses in Jennings, one in Lacassine and two businesses in Lake Arthur for alcohol/tobacco violations.

“The fact we are using only 16 and 17 year old operatives and getting this many sales is concern-ing,” Hebert said of the summer crackdown. “Let me be clear, there is nothing good that can come out of selling alcohol to a minor. And if you do, ATC will hold you account-able. This permit is a privilege, not a right.”

Anyone caught selling or serv-ing alcohol or tobacco products to minors are subject to criminal and administrative charges. Businesses face fines in the thousands of dol-lars and penalties that could result in suspension or revocation of their alcohol and tobacco permits.

While Mardi Gras and alcohol often go hand and hand, busi-ness owners are once again being reminded of the important alco-hol laws that each staff member of a business should be trained to follow.

Since taking a more proac-tive approach in educating busi-nesses ahead of Carnival Season, the number of citations issued to businesses for selling alcohol and tobacco to minors has decreased dramatically. ATC agents will again be out in full force to ensure a fun and safe Mardi Gras for all Louisiana citizens and visitors.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“Keep it local.”When I

first joined the Jennings Daily News in 2006, this was more than a motto; it was a rule, a way of life and what should always be at the forefront of our goal when deliv-ering news.

I slowly learned why keep-ing it local is so important. I was fortunate to spend much time with the Jeff Davis Parish Economic Development and Tourist Commission when cur-rent CEO and president Marion “Butch” Fox first took over. She was the one to breakdown for me the need for doing as much as possible locally – whether business or fun – into reasons that encouraged me to keep my money local.

Basically, when we invest in our communities, we invest in our own livelihood. When we spend our money locally, this keeps our businesses and local workers employed. Together, we all produce sales tax revenue that provides for our schools, infrastructure, fire and police departments, parish roads and more. When those areas grow stronger, it attracts more busi-nesses. More businesses mean more opportunities for us all, whether through employment or better access to services and products. This means more sales tax revenue, and the cycle con-

tinues.I’ve seen this

process in action over the years. If I compare all of Jeff Davis now to what it was in 2006, this parish has come such a long way. I can think of doz-ens of businesses that located or began here that have truly thrived. Our schools have grown tremendously. Rural areas have become sites for subdivisions. New roads have been construct-ed due to the growth. I truly believe part of this growth is due to so many of us who have been keeping it local.

Oddly enough, through all this talk about keeping it local, I find some of our municipal offices and individuals are will-ing to keep their business local, but not their news.

You see, the thing about the Jennings Daily News is, we are local. Our employees live here, spend money here and pay taxes here. The news our staff brings to you is from this parish and its outlying areas. Whether the news is good or bad, you get it. When your kids make honor roll or graduate high school, we report it. When our students are showcasing their skills in the par-ish livestock show, we report it. When you open our pages, you

see items from local clubs and organizations like the Jennings Optimist Club, the Welsh Rotary Club or the Lake Arthur Women’s Library Club. We are not reporting the

same national story everybody else has. We are telling you about what is taking place in our 31st Judicial District Court or our Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Department. We are telling you when and where our local Mardi Gras events are being held. Local businesses choose to place their advertisements within this news-paper so you know the many products and services available right here at home.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s very important for all of us to stay informed on regional, state, national and international issues.

But if we should support our local businesses, should we not support our local newspaper, as well? The area television sta-tions are not in Jeff Davis Parish every week. In fact – and the coverage proves it – the televi-sion stations only come to Jeff Davis when they feel there is a scandalous story available or they are debuting a sponsored series that requires them to travel each parish.

Whether the television sta-tions visit Jeff Davis; whether your preferred satellite provider drops a local station during a money war; whether there is no electricity to watch television; or even if it seems “nothing is going on,” the Jennings Daily News is still here. That is why we are the official journal of the parish – because we have served this parish since 1896.

You see, I have been thinking over all of these ideas thanks to the internet. (You can find us at jenningsdailynews.net and catch all our editions there and stay on top of local happenings no mat-ter where you are. We are easily accessible online.)

However, I have noticed online an odd number of local government agencies prefer to advocate for media sourc-es located outside this parish, even though they are some of the offices that preach “keep it local” most. You want people to keep everything local, but you have a station in a completely different parish and coverage area showcased on the homep-age local taxes pay for? If we are all supposed to be working together to showcase and better Jeff Davis, why are these agen-cies advertising for Lake Charles or Lafayette?

I’m just sayin’, if we are going to keep it local, then let’s keep it local.

You call that local?

Keystone Pipeline The Keystone Pipeline is

NOT just about jobs. While jobs are certainly one compo-nent in favor of it, the biggest issue is national security. It’s about reducing our dependence for a vital national requirement (energy) from nations that gen-erally despise us even though they covet our money.

Am I the only one who remembers the gas lines caused by the Arab oil embargo in 1973? Do you really think that America’s enemies would never stoop to new oil embargoes in a serious dispute with us? Do you really think we should be reliant on Venezuela, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Russia, et. al.? Do you really think that North American energy should be sold to China instead of being used here?

The Keystone Pipeline gives us a reliable supply of oil from a solid ally and next-door neigh-bor that reduces our need for oil from elsewhere. While I support every effort to become completely energy indepen-dent as quickly as possible, the Keystone Pipeline is still need-ed and should be immediately approved. It should have been in

operation already!I might even add that it is envi-

ronmentally superior to transport-ing oil from overseas via tankers or by transporting oil via rail or truck. The environmentalists are wrong on this issue, but then they usually are. As much as I disagree with Tom Steyer, at least his motives are pure greed and not just being stupid!

What’s Your Excuse?The story of the man at the

pool of Bethesda parallels what is happening in people’s lives today. Instead of standing in faith and confessing the Word of God for themselves, they are waiting on others to help them.

They want their pastors to pray for them. Or, they will call every prayer line across the country hoping that someone will pray just the right prayer to get their needs met. Sometimes it seems like everyone is praying except them!

God gave us His word to act on. And, just like the man at the pool of Bethesda, we need to act on that word and get up. So let us be doers of the word. We

have been given everything we need to succeed.

We can ask what we will and it shall be done for us when we pray.

Thank You to the Southwest Louisiana

Residents I’m writing to thank

Southwest Louisiana residents for their generosity in helping needy children worldwide this Christmas season. Together we were able to collect 23,086 shoe-boxes-filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items-for Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas proj-ect of its kind. For many chil-dren, these shoeboxes will be the first gifts they have ever received.

Although our local drop-off locations in Southwest La. are closed until November 2015, shoebox gifts can be packed any time. Operation Christmas Child is a project of the international Christian relief organization

Samaritan’s Purse, and gifts are received year-round at its North Carolina headquarters (801 Bamboo Road, Boone, North Carolina, 28607). People also still have plenty of time to get involved through the project’s website, where they can pack a shoebox gift online.

The Southwest Louisiana team consisting of over 20 indi-viduals from five parishes has already started planning for the November, 2015 collection week. To learn about year-round volunteer opportunities to serve with Operation Christmas Child, or how your church or group can participate just call 337-405-9022. Also visiting samaritans-purse.org is a great place to learn more about the global impact made by local donors and vol-unteers.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in this proj-ect. A simple gift, packed with love, can communicate hope and transform the lives of children worldwide.

Sincerely,James Groves, Area

DI’sRESTAURANT

CHONGLI, China (AP) — Clad in neon-green from head to toe, Chinese snowboarder He Qiang is part of a growing cohort of middle-class enthusiasts in a country with little tradition of winter sports but that is now seeking to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The 28-year-old escapes his office job in the Chinese capital for the skiing mecca of Chongli, nestled in mountains near the Great Wall where Beijing hopes to stage Nordic skiing and other events in its bid to become the first city to hold both winter and summer Olympics.

“Snowboarding is just such an awesome feeling,” He said, as a rare snow storm swirled around him and frigid wind gusts whistled along the edges of his ski lift’s wind shield. “I can only imagine how much faster that will grow if we win the Winter Olympics.”

He says more friends are joining him on the three-hour bus ride to the sprawling Genting Resort with its 70 kilometers (45 miles) of trails is one of three key sites proposed to hold the games. Work has already begun on a high-speed rail line that will reduce travel time from Beijing’s northern suburbs to just 50 minutes.

Victory for Beijing would mean overcoming early concerns over region’s general lack of natural snow and its chronic air pol-lution. Once considered an outlier as host, Beijing now appears to be the front-runner following the withdrawal of other contend-ers and a thoroughly well prepared bid effort.

Almaty, Kazakhstan, is the only remaining contender after cities in Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and other countries dropped out.

“I believe the International Olympic Committee is looking for a safe, reliable and risk-free city. I think this city of Beijing meets those conditions,” said Zhang Jiandong, Beijing’s vice mayor and vice president of the bid committee.

Beijing’s success in the 2008 Summer Olympics, strong government and public support and its pre-existing infrastructure make it ideal, Zhang said.

Olympic inspectors will visit in March to survey the city’s three clusters of facilities, each with their own athletes’ village and media center.

Beijing says its bid closely aligns with the International Olympic Council’s 2020 goals for a more frugal, more athlete-oriented games whose legacy will live on with robust sports programs and continuing use of venues. In all, the city plans to spend $3.9 billion on infrastructure and operations, while Zhang said substantial private sector investment and sponsorships will allay further costs.

That’s a tiny fraction of the $51 billion Russia spent on the Sochi games and much closer to the $3.5 billion to $7.5 billion budgeted for the 2018 Winter Olympics in the South Korean resort city of Pyeongchang.

Originally, Beijing had been considered a long shot for host-ing the games because both Pyeongchang and Tokyo, which is hosting the 2020 Summer games, are in Asia. . But all that changed when several European bids dropped out over cost con-cerns or after voters rejected them in referendums.

The IOC will announce the winner at its July meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Holding the games would provide greater impetus for reduc-ing Beijing’s notorious air pollution, said Fang Li, vice director of the city’s environmental protection bureau.

By 2022, Beijing plans to reduce its annual coal consumption from 19 million to just 5 million tons, while stricter standards have already reduced automobile emissions by almost a quarter, despite the addition of 2.6 million cars since the 2008 games, Fang said.

“Preparing for the games can only accelerate these efforts,” Fang said.

While winter sports are relatively new to China, the country has been making up for lost time. Already a top medal earner in the summer games, China won its first Winter Olympic medals in 1992, and has racked up a total of 12 golds in skating.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — As Marion “Suge” Knight sat jailed on suspicion of mur-der, dueling narratives cast him as attacker and victim in the hip-hop music mogul’s latest and most serious run-in with the law.

Sheriff’s deputies said he hit and killed a man with his pickup truck, injured another and then fled. His lawyer said he was an innocent vic-tim who accidentally ran over his friend and the other man as he tried to escape an attack.

He turned himself in and was booked on Friday.

A better understand-ing about what happened Thursday afternoon may be found in a video that Knight’s attorney said is in “police custody.” Defense attorney James Blatt said he’ll likely see it Monday or Tuesday, and he was confi-dent it would vindicate his client who was being held in lieu of $2 million bail, on Saturday.

The incident was the lat-est in a long line of brushes with death and the law for the 49-year-old founder of Death Row Records, one of the genre’s leading labels.

Knight started the label that helped solidify West Coast rap with Dr. Dre, who had been a member of the legendary group N.W.A. The label also launched the career of Snoop Dogg and had Tupac Shakur in the last months of his life.

The fatal run-in occurred a short while after Knight was told by deputies to leave

a film location where he had argued with someone, authorities said.

The cast and crew were taking a break from film-ing a promotional video for the biopic “Straight Outta Compton,” about the rise of N.W.A., according to a per-son familiar with the project who was not authorized to speak about it publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The argument resumed and escalated a short while later at a fast-food restaurant about two miles away, with Knight and the man exchang-ing punches through his open window. Knight then struck the man and a friend with his vehicle and fled, said sher-iff’s Lt. John Corina.

Terry Carter, 55, Knight’s friend who authorities do not believe was involved in the altercation, died at a hospital, Corina said. The other man was identified by his man-ager as Cle “Bone” Sloan,

Dueling narratives surround ‘Suge’ Knight51, an actor and film consultant. He was hospitalized in stable condition, said manager Jermaine Shelton.

Corina said Knight backed up his pickup truck and knocked Sloan down.

“Then he puts the truck in drive, drives forward, running over him, and then keeps going forward and keeps on driving, and runs over Carter, who is standing in the parking lot, and keeps on going after

that,” Corina said.He said witnesses told

investigators it looked like an intentional act.

Defense attorney Blatt said Knight was called to Tam’s Burgers in Compton for a meeting and was attacked by four people, including Sloan, as he slowed his truck. The men beat him through his window and threatened to kill him.

Corina said evidence thus far disputed Blatt’s account, saying only one man exchanged blows with Knight through the window before he got run over.

The fatal run-in comes less than six months after Knight was shot six times at a West Hollywood night-club in August — the second shooting he’s survived. No arrests have been made.

Knight punched the gas and fled in fear, Blatt said. He had no idea he hit two men. Corina said that claim is hard to believe.

Knight surrendered early Friday and was booked on suspicion of murder.

At 6-foot-4 and weighing 325 pounds, Knight’s reputa-tion as an imposing figure is credited, in part, with helping create Death Row Records when he strong-armed

another label to release Dr. Dre from his contract, said Chuck Creekmur, CEO of allhiphop.com.

“You can’t separate Suge from the music that came out of Death Row Records,” Creekmur said. “He’s linked forever to a really, really great musical period of time. And that would be linked to a really horrific period when we lost several of our bright-est stars.”

Knight was at the center of one of the most notorious rap conflicts of the 1990s, pitting rappers Tupac Shakur against Biggie Smalls in an East Coast versus West Coast rivalry.

Knight was sent to pris-on for nearly five years for badly beating a rival with Shakur at a Las Vegas hotel, just hours before Shakur was fatally shot while riding in Knight’s car just east of the Strip.

Smalls, whose real name was Chris Wallace, was shot to death in a similar attack six months later.

Knight and Dre later had a falling out and Dre left. The record company eventually declared bankruptcy and was auctioned off.

Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, another former N.W.A. member, were at the film location Thursday, but they didn’t see Knight, accord-ing to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity. Filming was shut down for the day and not resumed Friday.

The history of Knight’s run-ins with the law goes back more than 20 years.

In November, Knight pleaded not guilty to a rob-bery charge filed after a celebrity photographer accused him of stealing her camera in Beverly Hills. Because of prior convictions, he could face up to 30 years in prison.

“You can’t separate Suge from the music that came

out of Death Row Records. He’s linked forever to a really,

really great musical period of time.” – Chuck Creekmur, CEO of allhiphop.com

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two pilots in a helium-filled balloon landed safely off the coast of Mexico early Saturday after an audacious, nearly 7,000-mile-long trip across the Pacific Ocean that shattered two long-standing records for ballooning.

The pilots landed 4 miles offshore in Baja California about 300 miles north of the popular beach destination of Cabo San Lucas. The pilots came in low and dropped thick trailing ropes into the ocean to help slow the balloon before setting down in a controlled water landing.

Mission control in Albuquerque was packed with balloon team members and the pilots’ families as it descended, with all eyes focused on a giant screen showing a map of the coast and the balloon’s location.

They exchanged hugs and smiled with relief after it touched down. But it wasn’t until they received word that the pilots were safe and aboard a fishing boat headed to the shore that cheers erupted and the cork was popped on a bottle of cham-pagne.

“We’re really pleased with the distance numbers we have here and very pleased with the duration numbers,” said Steve Shope, mission control director. “These are significant improvements over the existing records. We didn’t break them by just a little bit. They were broken by a significant amount.”

The world has been tracking the progress of the Two Eagles Balloon team online and through social media sites. Still, the official distance and time of the flight must be confirmed by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, a process that could take weeks or months.

Troy Bradley of Albuquerque and Leonid Tiukhtyaev of Russia lifted off from Japan Sunday morning, and by Friday, they beat what’s considered the “holy grail” of ballooning achievements, the 137-hour duration record set in 1978.

NEW YORK (AP) — Nicholas Guido was showing off his new car outside his mother’s home on Christmas Day 1986 when he was gunned down because he’d been mistaken for a mobster with the same name. The bad information, prosecutors said, came from two deco-rated police detectives who would later be convicted of moonlighting as hit men for the mob.

Twenty-nine years later, the city has reached a $5 mil-lion settlement with Guido’s family in part of the fallout from one of the most stun-ning police corruption cases in New York history.

“This tragic matter involves the murder of an innocent man. After evaluat-ing all the facts, it was deter-mined that settling the case was in the city’s best interest,” the Law Department said in a statement. The family’s law-yer didn’t immediately return a call Friday night seeking comment.

Guido’s mother, Pauline Pipitone, was washing dishes after Christmas dinner when gunfire erupted outside her Brooklyn home.

She ran over to the car and found her 26-year-old son sit-ting up at the wheel, she testi-fied at the ex-detectives’ 2006 racketeering trial. “I went to touch his hand, and he must have just died,” she said. “His fingertips were cold.”

Guido’s killers had him confused with an enemy of a mob underboss who paid then-detectives Louis Eppolito and Stephen

Caracappa to be his criminal “crystal ball,” a source of help killing eight of their patron’s foes between 1986 and about 1990, Brooklyn federal pros-ecutors said.

The detectives were accused of carrying out two of those killings themselves. In others, they made traffic stops that ended with the driv-er killed; another time, they kidnapped a target and turned him over to the underboss, prosecutors said.

The detectives got $4,000 a month for inside informa-tion on law enforcement investigations, and they got $65,000 for carrying out one killing, prosecutors said.

“This is probably the most heinous series of crimes ever tried in this courthouse,” a judge said at one point.

Eppolito and Caracappa, who insisted they were inno-cent, are serving life in prison.

Caracappa helped establish the police department’s office for Mafia homicide probes. Eppolito wrote an autobiog-raphy, “Mafia Cop,” about his life as a police officer who grew up in a mob family. He also played a bit part in the classic 1990 mob movie “GoodFellas.”

By the time of their 2005 arrests, Eppolito and Caracappa had retired to Las Vegas.

In 2010, New York City agreed to pay $9.9 million to an innocent man who spent 19 years behind bars after being framed by Eppolito, whose arrest prompted a re-examination of the man’s case.

The Jennings Bulldogs entered Friday night’s contest with South Beauregard on a two-game skid following a 2-0 start in district, but could not overcome the Golden Knights, falling 73-65.

The flu season had also taken its toll, as two starters, senior Jared Perkins and forward D’Wayne Levi, who missed considerable practice time throughout the week, did not make their regular starts but did come off the bench for the Dogs.

In the end, the hostile crowd at South Beauregard, combined with early foul trouble and a sub-30 per-cent shooting percentage in the first half, equivocated to Jennings’ third straight district loss. The Golden Knights of South Beau controlled most of the game and seemed to never be in danger after extending a 15-point lead at half. Hayden Gunter had 34 of the Knights’ 73 points including 20-of-24 from the charity stripe. Jordan Vince (13) and DJ Hardwick (11) also scored in double digits for South Beau.

Draylan Perkins led the Bulldogs with 23 points despite playing only twenty minutes because of foul issues. Dwayne “Squib” Levi posted his eleventh double-double with 16 points and a season-high 17 rebounds despite having only

21 minutes on the court due to recent illness and injury. Travis Etienne Jr. added 11 points and 5 rebounds. Jennings is now 10-12 on the season and 2-3 in district. The Bulldogs faced St. Thomas More in a makeup game Saturday night and return to district action Tuesday as they host Iota in Gaudet Gym. See Tuesday’s Jennings Daily News for a recap of the action with St. Thomas More.

Meanwhile, the Jennings Lady Dogs have fallen on rough times. After a promising start to the sea-son, the gauntlet of girls’ teams in District 4-3A has proven too much so far for the youthful Jennings girls. Jennings, who does not have a senior on the roster, has played well in spirit with the top teams in the state, but has had issues holding the intensity, suffering their second loss to South Beau this season, 86-42.

The latest trip to South Beauregard was more of the same. The “Lady K’s” of South Beau flexed their district-leading mus-cle and jumped on the Lady Dogs early, leading by 17 after the first quarter and holding a 54-28 lead at half.

Sissy Sonnier led the Lady K’s with 23 points. Hannah Gunter added 14 for South Beau.

Thmyra Pattum led the Lady Dogs with 9 points and Kaily Breaux added 8 points. Kylie Hanks tallied 7.

BATON ROUGE – To no one’s surprise the LHSAA decided to play the game of wait and see. The governing body of high school sports in Louisiana, which is run by principals of the state, took measures that will effectively put any major proposals on hold for the time being.

In regional meetings last week, mem-bers of the executive board of the LHSAA requested that principals allow new execu-tive director Eddie Bonine an opportunity to become familiar with Louisiana high school sports before making any major decisions.

That request was followed, as all items

pertaining to the football split were tabled until next year. Bonine, who is still under contract to another state athletic association until March 2, will have a year to study the way the state is presently crowning state champions in football.

Many High School principal Norman Booker presented proposals that would have also split basketball, baseball and soft-ball into select and non-select and would have crowned 12 champions in each sport. But after principals shot down his baseball proposal, Booker withdrew the final two proposals.

The rest of the agenda proved to have very little confrontational proposals. The membership voted to continue to assess

each member school $257 per year to maintain a $100,000 reserve to deal with arbitration cases. The Louisiana legislature passed into law Act 476, which allows for an appeal to an independent arbitrator after the executive board, has denied a claim. Having to hire attorneys to fight these cases has caused a considerable drain on the finances of the LHSAA. Schools will have to fork over a share to allow the LHSAA to start the year with $100,000 in hand for these cases.

An attempt by the LHSAA executive committee to force a school that wants to go to arbitration against the LHSAA to have to pay all legal fees and attorney fees and be ineligible for championship honors the

following year was also voted down by the principals.

A measure forcing baseball coaches to tabulate the number of innings a pitcher throws passed as well. The new rule states a pitcher cannot exceed a maximum of 14 innings in a calendar week or 10 innings over three-consecutive days. Players found to have exceeded will see the games in which they pitched ruled as a forfeit.

Finally, the proposal to raise officials pay in both basketball and volleyball were also defeated by the principals. A motion to have just a one year contract for sports events was offered by Calvary Baptist prin-cipal Rhonda Honea, but died for lack of a second and was never debated.

LACASSINE – The Lacassine basketball teams took on Hathaway Friday night in District 7-B action and took a pair of wins. The boys’ game was a back-and-forth battle but Lacassine held on for a 59-52 win, while in girls’ action Lacassine won by a score of 82-59.

Lacassine returns to action on Tuesday night and closes out District 7-B play when they host Midland. Hathaway boys will host Episcopal of Acadiana on Tuesday night when the girls will not return to action until next Friday night when both teams host Bell City.Lacassine: 59, Hathaway

Lacassine (14-16, 4-3) then closed out the quarter with consecutive three-pointers by Hayden Daigle and Alan Courville to take a 12-11 first quarter lead.

The Hornets took a 15-14 lead after a couple of free throws by Chase Comeaux

with 6:03 remaining in the second quarter. The Cardinals then broke open a close game with a 13-2 run to take a 28-17 lead with 2:45 to play. The Hornets then closed out the quarter with a 6-0 run to trail the Cardinals 28-23 at halftime.

Hathaway extended their scoring streak to 13-0 to take a 30-28 lead with 5:45 to play in the quarter after a three-pointer by Tanner Manuel.

Welsh junior guard Brandius Batiste scored a career-high and over-all game-high 38 points and snagged 6 steals in the Greyhounds’ 83-46 win over DeQuincy Friday night. The win marks the seventh-consecutive victory for Welsh, currently first in District 4-2A at 5-0.

LAKE ARTHUR – The Lake Arthur Lady Tigers played their best defensive game of the season Friday night when they hosted the Vinton Lady Lions. However, the Lady Tigers proved to be rude guests, pounding Vinton 67-12.

Meanwhile, the woes for the boys’ side at Lake Arthur continued, as Vinton handed the Tigers their 21st consecu-tive loss of the season 75-40.

Lady Tigers: 67, Lady Lions: 12

The Lady Tigers (21-5, 5-0) outright dominated the early game on “Coach Will Night” in Lake Arthur, using a 32-1 scoring run to open the game and forcing Vinton into turnovers on seven of their first 10 possessions to take a 34-1 lead at the half of their contest.

“After the Mamou game I wanted to see the girls mov-ing their feet, staying low and being on the line up the line,” said Lake Arthur head coach Edie Higgins. “I wanted to see a lot of energy and some focus on playing defense and on our help side. We also wanted to work on moving without the ball. Sometimes we get stuck kind of standing still and we needed to work on moving without the ball.”

Antawn Budwine and Kelvin Bias both scored 9 points for Vinton, with Branden Berry scoring a game-high 11 for Vinton including three three-pointers.

The Lions enjoyed a 30-15 halftime advantage, moving the margin to 54-22 after three quarters.

PHOENIX (AP) - Put Bill Belichick behind a microphone and he’s C-SPAN - minus the information.

Pete Carroll is more like a Lifetime movie. Or, as defensive lineman Michael Bennett puts it, “He has that Benjamin Button effect on everyone.”

The Super Bowl coaches approach their obligations to the public and media from opposite ends. Belichick, coaching for his fourth championship in New England, is dry, offers little to no insight and rarely makes anyone laugh. Carroll, looking for his second straight title, is a high-fiving, fist-bumping

extrovert who started one of his news confer-ences this week with a welcoming, “What’s up?!?”

Different styles have produced similar results, though.

Belichick is making his sixth Super Bowl appearance as a head coach and his Patriots are as close as there is to a dynasty in the cur-rent NFL. Carroll’s team is being mentioned as a possible dynasty, as well, and that notion will only gain steam if the Seahawks win Sunday and become the first back-to-back champions since, who else?, New England in 2003-04.

Belichick, Carroll coach Super Bowl from different anglesDissimilar as they are, they have both built

their teams on a foundation of unflinching candor inside their locker and meeting rooms - a quality Carroll brings to some of his pub-lic speaking, but one that Belichick eschews.

“What you see on TV is what you get, pretty much, from the two,” said Patriots cor-nerback Brandon Browner, who previously played for Carroll in Seattle. “They have similarities too, though. Their football IQ is way up there. They are so different, but at the same time they’re the same. That’s why they both have succeeded at this level.”

Over his 15 years in New England, Belichick has made it increasingly difficult for anyone outside of Patriots Nation to love him. Nobody likes a boring cheater, and that is how he’s sometimes portrayed. It’s all summed up in his handling of the con-troversy of Super Bowl week - Deflategate - a subject he has refused to talk about since Saturday, when he held a news conference to deny wrongdoing and announce he was moving on. “We’re just focused on Seattle this week,” he’s said, repeating some version of that time and again.

A much fuller picture of the coach was painted in the 2013 NFL Network produc-tion “A Football Life,” which gave an inside and genuinely absorbing look at the coach - miked up and behind the scenes during what turned out to be a disappointing 2009 season.

“Hard not to get choked up about it,” Belichick said, barely controlling the tears as he toured his old stomping grounds, the old Giants Stadium, where he won his first two Super Bowl rings as New York’s defensive coordinator. “I spent a lot of hours in that room.”

One trait his old boss, Bill Parcells, turned into an art was figuring out how to get the most from each of his players by treating them individually.

It’s not a trait Belichick shares, at least in the sense that no one seems to get the Superstar Treatment in New England: High-priced cornerback Darrelle Revis got sent home one day for being late for a meeting. Jonas Gray ran for 201 yards in a win against Indianapolis but has barely been heard from again after showing up late for a meeting.

“He’s done a good job of treating every-

body fairly, treating everybody the same,” said Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich. “If something goes wrong, he makes sure we know about it. It’s all about knowing how to get the best out of everybody.”

Carroll does the same thing - just differ-ently.

Quirky as they come, he once said a book that guided many of his core philoso-phies was, “The Inner Game of Tennis,” a 1974 self-help manuscript by W. Timothy Callwey that is about finding “the state of ‘relaxed concentration’ that helps you play your best.”

It’s also about tennis, but “the stuff really resonated,” Carroll said in an interview while he was coaching Southern California.

In keeping with the touchy-feely theme, he has repeatedly made it clear this week that he respects the individuality of his players - from Richard Sherman, who is willing to speak on just about everything, to Marshawn Lynch, who doesn’t want to talk about any-thing.

The coach’s willingness to bend, however, does not mean he deviates from the consis-tent routine he established when he came to Seattle after nine years at USC. Wednesdays are “Competition Wednesdays.” Thursdays are “Turnover Thursdays.” And so on.

“He’s got a philosophy he stays true to,” said offensive line coach Tom Cable. “For a lot of us who’ve coached a long time, we’ve been around a lot of great teachers, but their philosophies can go up and down. For him, he’s the way he is every day.”

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who hired Carroll back in 1997, then Belichick in 2000, called his former coach, “pretty special to be around. A lot of fun.”

He feels he set Carroll back by not giv-ing him the full control he wanted, and the owner adjusted his style when he made the next hire.

Everyone benefited: Belichick and the Patriots - and Carroll and Seattle.

There’s no big mystery to all this coaching success, Belichick insists.

“It’s about players making the plays that your team needs to win,” he said. “I think as a coach, you want to make sure you don’t screw that up.”

PHOENIX (AP) - Tom Brady began winning Super Bowls when Russell Wilson was still a teenager, tuning in to see the big game on TV.

“Of course I remember watching Brady,” Wilson said Tuesday. “He won some incredible games. Incredible comebacks. Incredible throws. Incredible plays. Hopefully he doesn’t make too many incredible ones this year.”

When Wilson leads the Seattle Seahawks into the Super Bowl against Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday, both quarter-backs know the outcome will affect the way each is viewed for quite a while.

Wilson can become the eighth starting QB to win consecutive Super Bowl championships, and the first since Brady did it 10 years ago.

According to STATS, Wilson also would be the first to claim two in his first three years in the league (as it is, he’s the first starting quarterback to make it to two Super Bowls that quickly).

Brady, meanwhile, won titles in 2002, 2004, and 2005. But since then, he is 0-2 in Super Bowls, with a pair of losses to the New York Giants in 2008 and 2012.

“Look, any time you lose the last game of the year, it’s tough,” said Brady, who sounded stuffed up and coughed a couple of times. “The last two times we’ve been in this game, we haven’t been able to close it out. We’re hoping this is our day.”

A victory over the Seahawks would allow the 37-year-old Brady to match his idol as a kid, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw with four rings.

But a defeat would drop Brady’s career mark on Super Sunday to .500 at 3-3.

“You never get over any of those,” Brady said about the defeats. “As time goes on, you gain perspective and you still had some great years. ... It would be great for this team to try to leave a great legacy.”

When he won his first NFL championship in 2002, with a 20-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams, Brady was in his first year as a starter and second year in the league.

Initially a backup after being drafted in the sixth round, he took over from injured quarterback Drew Bledsoe - and the rest is his-tory.

“Tom Brady’s done a lot of great things over the last 15 years,” Patriots tight end Tim Wright said.

Who would argue?After the usual Media Day

fare concerning his favorite music (Jay-Z got a shout-out) and his hair (but no marriage proposals, as happened in the past), Brady got around to taking questions Tuesday about his place in the game.

He knows full well that Super Bowl success is a major part of how quarter-backs’ careers are defined. And Brady said he recalls the feeling of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy three times in a four-year span a decade ago.

“Those things happened so fast back then. I didn’t

Wilson recalls watching as a kid while Brady won Super Bowls

even understand what was happening,” Brady said. “It’s not like I didn’t appreciate those experiences. I certainly did. But ... we’ve had two tough ones.”

Wilson, 26, has yet to play an NFL season that didn’t include at least one playoff victory for his team.

He goes about things a different way than Brady on the field, far more skilled as a ball carrier and on-the-move improviser. Wilson can sling the football, too, though, and put it right where he wants it, as evidenced by his 35-yard touchdown throw in overtime to win the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers.

Before a late comeback, Seattle trailed by 16 points. Wilson had a passer rating of zero at halftime and he finished the game with four interceptions.

But that did not concern him Tuesday. The only thing

that did was the final score.“I want to be considered a

winner,” said Wilson, sport-ing a thick beard. “That’s ultimately the goal in terms of playing quarterback: Win, win, win.”

Asked which quarter-backs were his favorites while growing up, Wilson mentioned Brady and Peyton Manning, calling them “two guys that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid.”

In last year’s Super Bowl, Seattle overwhelmed Manning’s Denver Broncos 43-8, part of Wilson’s 10-0 record in games against quarterbacks who have won a title.

That could become 11-0 on Sunday.

“To get back to the Super Bowl is a huge thing,” Wilson said. “It’s a one-of-a-kind thing.”

Not for this game’s two QBs.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Professional wrestling star Mick Foley was ejected from the Wing Bowl eating contest Friday after stuffing uneaten chicken wings into a fanny pack.

People following the event on social media dubbed Foley’s attempt at boosting his wing total “inflate gate,” a play on the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots’ deflated football controversy.

Chicago’s Patrick Bertoletti won with a Wing Bowl record 444 wings in 26 minutes. He edged out 2014 champion Molly Schuyler, of Bellevue, Nebraska, who eclipsed her record 363-wing mark with 440 wings.

The fan-favorite Foley, who’s known in the ring as Mankind, said after his ouster that he didn’t want to overstuff himself and get sick, like other competitors.

“I didn’t want that to be my legacy,” said Foley. “So I stretched the rules. I thought people would appreciate that, right here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!”

Wing Bowl started in 1993 as a way for Philadelphia’s long-suffering sports fans to blow off steam before the Super Bowl.

About 20,000 people gathered at the Wells Fargo Arena “home of the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers” to drink beer and watch scantily clad women serve competitors wings.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2015

You have a strong sense of what you want to accomplish this year. Your goals are high, but organization and diplo-macy will be a must if you want to fulfill your dreams. If you’re not afraid to ask for help, you will be surprised how much easier your life can be. This is a year to work with others, not to go it alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try to include your family in any social events that arise. You need to cre-ate a closer bond with your loved ones. Your entertaining nature will win favors from co-workers.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Emotionally, things won’t run too smoothly today. Try not to let someone corner you. This is not the time to be faced with a situation that could result in isolation. Busy yourself with activities that will enhance your looks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your friends or relatives will be able to give you some good advice if you confide in them. You need to get

out and enjoy yourself more often. Look for inexpensive but entertaining activities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your life will stabilize if you stick to a tight budget. Take care not to be talked into donating to organizations that you believe in but can’t afford to help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have to put your ener-gy to good use by taking part in competitive sports events, socializing with friends or spending time with a loved one. Your passion will be hard to contain.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can learn if you listen to others. You need to stand back and decide if you are really going in a direction that will satisfy your needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You need to take time to do things for yourself. You’ve been so busy caring for everyone else that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to be pampered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Arguments will lead to anx-iety and frustration, not to mention loneliness and hurt.

Don’t overreact to your part-ner’s lack of time or attention. Keep busy. Get involved in your own interests, and you won’t be by yourself for long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your quick wit will win you points. Voice your opinion, but don’t be too pushy, or opposition will arise. Physical activity will be rewarding. You will have the energy to get things finished.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Channel your efforts into fixing up your home, not arguing with those you live with. Don’t let your stubborn nature lead to irreconcilable differences.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An emotional partner will be upset if you have been neglecting your duties. Someone you have become friends with has greater interest in you than you realize. Tread carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t let yourself be dragged into a love triangle. Be sure that the person you date is free and clear of past involvements. Children will play an important role today.
