Expected to draw an estimated 80,000 fans with a need for speed, NOLA Motorsports Park in nearby Avondale will offer three days of Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana racing for the first time.

The action-packed event will feature a new layout, representing the state of Louisiana’s $4.5 million investment in the park’s course. The nearly three-mile track offers more than a dozen challeng-ing turns and long straights, including overtaking passing zones to accommo-date Verizon Indy Series and Mazda

Road to Indy Series cars topping out at speeds up to 180 mph.

Racing will be held April 10-12 with practice races at 12:15 p.m. on Friday and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Qualifying races run at 4:15 p.m. Saturday with the green flag dropping at 2:37 p.m. Sunday.

A dispute over the St. Charles Parish government recovering nearly $150,000 in dumpster fees as part of a discontinued blight elimination program erupted into an angry showdown between Parish Councilman Paul Hogan and the parish administration at Monday’s council meeting.

Chief Administrative Officer Buddy Boe said he would not waste any more money or time “on this wild goose chase” unless directed otherwise by Parish President V.J. St. Pierre Jr.

But Hogan, who triggered the argument by pushing for his latest resolution seeking a fourth Attorney General opinion on recovering the funds, demanded to know why his name was on the list

of people the parish was contacting for payment.

“Why did I get on that list?” he said. “Dragging me into this crap is totally out of line.”

At last month’s council meeting, Boe said 143 certified letters would be mailed by March 20 advising residents to contact the parish Planning and Zoning Department to determine the amount owed, which could range from $450 to $14,500 depending on size of the project and vendors. The letter was to also state the parish has no legal authority to force collection of the payment.

But when Hogan got the list of these names, his name was on it. Soon after seeing this, he got his letter from the parish about the dumpsters.

According to the list, Hogan got

When ISIS threatened Pope Francis, calling him the “bearer of false truth,” the students of St. Charles Borromeo Elementary in Destrehan sprang to action by praying Hail Marys for his safety.

It started in September.By Holy Week in March, they hit their goal of 1

million Hail Marys and then exceeded it.The idea took hold in Mary Benoit’s religion class.Benoit saw a religious group looking for 10,000

prayers to protect the pope on Facebook so they decided to do it, too.

“Praying is one of the best things we do at school, right after excellent education,” she said. “Our kids are really committed to their spiritual life.”

The number seemed unfathomable, but the prays continued.

St. Charles Parish officials pitched two millage tax proposals to fund sewage improvements and a hurricane protection level sys-tem at Tuesday’s first parishwide

community meeting, but area res-idents suggested imposing a con-venience fee so everyone shares the cost.

Chief Administrative Officer Buddy Boe equated it to a user fee that would not offer the stable funding needed to deal with

mounting costs for wastewater facilities and levee protection.

A sales tax hike wouldn’t work either, Boe said, pointing to a 20 percent drop in collections from last year. He added it would take substantial increases in sewer fees to cover the projected funding

needs and take years to generate enough money to do the projects. Also, earlier wastewater rate hikes resulted in people using less water so revenue fell.

One resident asked whether any of the tax revenue generated by these

Better known as “Ole Man Wiggle,” Norman Almerian Wigle, longtime resident of St. Charles Parish, lived every moment of his life to its fullest until his death at age 103.

“He was an extraordinary human being,” said Wigle’s granddaughter, Ann Nolan of Boutte.

Born in St. Joseph, Mo., on Aug. 17, 1911, Nolan said Wigle was undeniably a self-starter, adapter and charmer.

At age 16, he joined the Coast Guard and three years later was honorably discharged in 1930. That same year, he went to work in Clearwater, Fla., and saw “this beautiful woman” crossing the street when he announced that was the woman he was going to marry. According to Nolan, he was with a friend at the time who responded, “Wigle, you’re crazy, that’s my sister.” About a year later, he married her - Andogonia “Ann” - and they remained happily together for 73 years.

They had two children, Mariann and Warren. He took his son’s Boy Scout troop to the Smoky Mountains at least 10 times.

The couple went on their first cruise on their 50th year of marriage and then went on another 32 cruises in the fol-lowing 23 years. He was known for helping entertain at stage shows aboard ship.

When Ann died at age 90 in November of 2003, he was on a cruise the following December. Nolan tearfully recounted ask-ing him about doing this so soon after her grandmother’s death, but Wigle told her they had done everything they wanted to do, he knew he’d see

her again and he was going to continue his life.

Wigle was also known for his strong work ethic.

He worked at American Cyanamid until age 60 and then owned Nor-Ann Fine Arts on River Road for 30 years. This is when he became known as “Ole Man Wiggle,” and he apparently liked it because he used to say, “I’m an old man in an old frame shop on old River Road.”

Nolan estimated three-fourths of the framework done in the area likely came out of his shop or at least until Hurricane Katrina blew the roof off the building that he’d been renting for $110 a month for years until he voluntarily raised it to $150. Wigle even contributed articles to the St. Charles Herald-Guide, where he expressed his opinions about goings on in the parish.

He was still working at age 93, but it was on this birthday that he learned the state wouldn’t give him a driver’s license anymore. He had been driving since he was 11 years old.

“He drove another two years without a driver’s license,” Nolan said.

At age 95, Wigle sold his house and used the money to go on cruises.

“He was always going,” she said of a man whose longevity was based on no smoking, alcohol or red meat. However, it was known that he played poker seven nights a week and it wasn’t challenging for him because Nolan said his mental clarity was astounding. He could remember what he did 90 minutes ago or 90 years ago. “He was a man of honor, integ-rity and exceptional work ethic. We just saw and he just led by example.”

As testimony to his health, Wigle became a centenarian while he was on a Caribbean cruise and still living on his own. Nolan said he stepped off the boat that morning and into his birthday party that afternoon – and was fine for a man who was celebrating a century of living. He sang “Battle Hymn of the Republic” in his baritone voice, not miss-ing a note or lyric.

Right about this time, offi-cials with the Social Security Administration asked to see him in person as proof that he was still alive. Nolan told them he was 100 years old and it was them who should come see him. They did, and he flirted with one of the representa-tives.

“Everything about my grandfather was spectacular,” Nolan said. “Everything was a blessing.”

At his 103rd birthday party, Wigle was fascinated by the latest arrival to his Greek fam-ily – his great-great grandson. It was a “Who Dat” party so Riley was dressed in Saints clothing. By this time, he was living in Luling Living Center, where she said everyone knew him – “He was like a rockstar.” He even helped with the plumbing.

“His eyes just followed Riley around the room,” Nolan recalled of Wigle admiring the fifth generation of his family and likely reflecting on having lived more than a century. In his deep voice, he asked if the child had a good coat and baby seat. “He adored him.”

Wigle died on March 30 and this is why his service will be dedicated to both of them.

The service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 11, at New Life Community Church in Luling (joint ministry of Luling United Methodist Church and First Union Presbyterian at 134 Lakewood Dr.).

“I think the most amazing thing were his pearls of wis-dom,” Nolan said. “He was just so incredibly wise and made incredible choices in life. He was able to squeeze every pos-sible moment out of life until the end. You don’t live that long without being wise.”

Sheriff’s Reports Suspects are innocent until proved guilty in a court of law

Permit No. 22066-09 to demol-ish property at 222 Down The Bayou Road in Des Allemands.

Boe maintained the expense occurred in 2009 and that they were researching how much he owed, but they were working on accessing records to con-firm the costs.

“There is no political motive,” he said. “We treated him like anyone else in the parish. If the records prove otherwise, he will get an apology.”

Boe also said Hogan knew he was the list prior to pushing for his resolution and could have waited two weeks to clear his name on the list. Yet, he said, Hogan “continues to drive this issue.”

Hogan maintained he didn’t belong on it because he paid for use of the dumpsters and that he would continue pushing for his resolution to seek another Attorney General opinion on the matter. Although three AG opinions had been given already about collecting the funds, he said this latest one was aimed at determining if this “violation” amounted “to malfeasance in office,” the steps to prosecute and whether St. Pierre person-ally could be forced to reimburse the parish.

But as he moved to vote on the resolution, Councilman Jarvis Lewis raised the question over whether Hogan could vote on it because he was “personally involved” with his name being on the list.

Parish attorney Sunny Vial advised against Hogan voting on the resolution.

Hogan angrily replied he would still vote and denied “being involved.”

In an 8-to-1 vote, Hogan’s resolution died with him being the only one in support of the measure.

Per three earlier AG opinions, Boe maintained the issue had been addressed by ending the blight elimination program and making an effort to recover the funds. Ultimately, the decisions state it was up to the parish gov-ernment’s legal department to determine if they were collect-able and to outline the collection methods, he said. Despite this attempt, he said Hogan kept stipulating more should be done.

“Hogan will never be satis-fied,” he said.

The question over whether the parish should be reimbursed for the use of the dumpsters with the blighted property had been decided by December 2013 when the attorney general ruled twice that the property owners should have to pay for the dumpster rentals.

HoGaN from page 1A

There are some peo-ple who, by the nature of their jobs, get to make a difference in the world every day. These include, but certainly are not limited to teach-ers, policemen, health care professionals, and high school guidance counselors.

Each job comes with its rewards and its disappoint-ments. The teacher has the opportunity to mold minds, bodies, and character. Students will respond in different ways to the promptings of the teach-er, some good, some not so. The policeman may lift up a victim by arresting the victim’s aggres-sor. He can make an area safer for hundreds or thousands of citizens. However, the police-man likely will be reviled by those he arrests or cites for vio-lating the law, or worse yet,

physically attacked. The healthcare professional can bring comfort to patients and even save lives, or they may see the demise of a patient or even its death brought on by things out-side of the caregiv-

er’s control. Finally, high school guidance counselors can pro-vide advice on career decisions, relationships, drug and preg-nancy counseling and other educational or social matters. Sometimes their counsel will be accepted and other times it will be ignored.

In spite of the heartaches, the long hours, the lack of respect or appreciation for what they do, most would not want to do any other job. Many would tell us that they selected their line of work because they wanted to

make a difference in the world.Some of us might say, “Sure,

it’s easy for them to make a dif-ference, they’re dealing with lots of lives every day. They’ve got plenty of opportunity. I just get up, go to work, see my kids for a few minutes in the eve-ning, get my bath, go to bed and start all over again tomorrow.”

We need to recognize that it is not necessary to have a full time job dedicated to making a difference. It might take a few minutes at lunch to be a “friend-ly ear” to someone who needs a sounding board or just needs an unbiased opinion about a per-sonal matter. A momentary act of kindness may change the way someone feels for the rest of the day. Not only that, but it may foster a chain reaction of chari-table events that will pass from one person to another.

It doesn’t take a lot of brain-storming to come up with other

ideas. We can be a mentor, start a bible study or prayer group, collect shoes for the homeless, coach a little league team, give rides to someone who can’t drive to the store or to the doc-tor’s office, donate time or money to a community services organization, greet everyone with a smile or think of some-thing nice to say to people you work with.

A popular expression of kindness today is the “pay it forward” transaction where people pick up the check at a restaurant for a complete stranger. They have even done it through the drive up window at fast food outlets. They may even “pay it forward” by doing acts of kindness for others simi-lar to gifts they have received.

Will we know if we’ve made a difference? Does it matter if we know, or is the effort what is important? Our goal is to touch

someone in a positive way with-out expectation of recognition or reward.

Let’s make a commitment to do at least one thing each month that will make a differ-ence in the life of another, using our money, time or talent. “Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with dili-gence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Rom 12:6-8)

OUR VIEW

Ol’ Man Wiglewill be rememberedSt. Charles Parish has had residents who were

memorable in many ways and one of them just passed away at the healthy old age of 103. We’re sure most people will remember the name attached to this very interesting individual.

He was Norman Wigle, known as Ol’ Man Wigle, and, following his death, he will be remembered for his love of life. He was a remarkable individual and made a friend of everyone.

He was born in St. Joseph Missouri on August 17, 1911. At the age of 16, he went into the Coastguard and was honorably discharged three years later in 1930.

Norman worked at American Cyanamid in St. Charles Parish and retired at the relatively young age of 63. He then opened, owned and operated an art frame shop on River Road in Luling for 30 years. Located on a highly frequented thoroughfare in St. Charles, he had many chances to compare notes about the goings on in the parish with his neighbors.

He worked there until the ripe ol’ age of 93, drove until he was 95 and lived on his own until he was well over the age of 100. He was also a great cook and fed many people his special recipes.

And to make his life all the more interesting, he was a contributing writer to the St. Charles Herald Guide.

He received the highest honor as a Boy Scout leader - - a beaver award. Ol’ Man Wigle had high spirits and he displayed them to the maximum. Even at his 100th birthday party, he demonstrated those high spirits by living it up with his neighbors. And that was how he lived his life.

Emphasizing his spirituality, he and his wife were members of the Luling United Methodist Church for 65 years. And throughout their years here, they emphasized the spirituality that exists in St. Charles Parish.

But Ol’ Man Wigle was also on the fun side. He was a fanatic for sailing the high seas on cruises that gave him an opportunity to see how the rest of the world lives. During his life, he took some 100 trips on cruise ships which perhaps set a record. And, apparently, he loved every minute of it.

Which tells us that he was a man of the world that still loved his home base in St. Charles Parish. And we’re proud of it.

Since his showing last year in the 5th Congressional District race, when he was barely edged out of the runoff, Duck Dynasty cousin Zach Dasher’s political future has been wide open — and now it includes speculation about run-ning for the second high-est statewide Louisiana office.

“He has mounting pressure to run for lieutenant governor,” said a source close to the Republican. “He has been approached by numerous people.”

Supporters were impressed by his performance in the Florida Parishes and see his base in north Louisiana as an advantage in a contest with contenders from below I-10.

“He’s still considering it,” said the source. “He’s nowhere near a decision right now but he is taking a serious look at it.”

Already declared for the race are Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden, former Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser and Jefferson Parish President John Young.

Sen. Elbert Guillory of Opelousas has said repeatedly he will be on the ballot, but backers are still looking for him to raise more money and have a better presence on the campaign trail. Guillory said that will happen after the legislative session adjourns.

Chances unknown for settle-ment cash

Last year lawmak-ers received a finan-cial bounce from a pharmaceutical set-tlement during their regular session, mak-ing the 2014 budget crunch hurt a little less.

With a $1.6 billion shortfall to tackle in the session that convenes next week, officials are looking for something a bit more miraculous but not expect-ing much. On that front, few law-makers know of any pending set-tlements that could surface before or during this year’s session.

Asked the same, Laura Gerdes Colligan, a spokesperson for the Attorney General’s Office, could only offer the following via email: “As to pending settlements/cases, we do have several ongoing mat-ters (investigations, negotiations and/or lawsuits) which could result in recoveries for Louisiana, but we aren’t able to make those types of predictions at this time.”

Dems building grassroots leg-islative PAC

Ravi Sangesetti, a former con-gressional candidate and an attor-ney practicing in New Orleans and Houma, is launching a political action committee this spring to target seats in the Legislature, with a slight Democratic bent.

It will be called the Bayou Blue PAC, he said, with an initial goal of raising $250,000.

“We’re definitely going to be

recruiting new candidates. We want new blood, regardless of party,” said Sangesetti. “But we’ll be coordinating with campaigns too.”

He said he is already working with consultant Chris Bender to get the PAC up and running.

Elected officials receive endorsement letters

In an early sign that U.S. Sen. David Vitter may be preparing to release a monster list of endorse-ments from elected officials in every corner of Louisiana govern-ment, sources are reporting the receipt of a form letter from the man himself asking for a signature.

It reads: “Your support is critical to our success, and I would be hon-ored to earn your endorsement.”

In the letter, Vitter asks elected officials to detach and fill out a card with all of their pertinent information. And, as he usually does, Vitter provides his personal cell phone number.

Campaign spokesperson Luke Bolar said it’s too early to fully gauge the response, but added, “It’s been pretty solid so far.”

Lawmakers strap on helmets

Considering all of the injuries seen from the annual basketball games, and from the last time they walked into Tiger Stadium, you’d think lawmakers might think twice about a flag football game. Even if it is for charity.

“It’s not fiscally or physically wise,” said Rep. Chris Leopold, R-Belle Chasse, one of the many

organizers. “I caught a touchdown pass last time we did this and it was quite a catch. When I caught the ball I was so happy and so sur-prised that when I went to spike it I fell down.”

The “Truce for Troops Bowl” is being put together for the families of the Louisiana National Guardsmen who were killed in March following a tragic helicopter crash. Rep. Nick Lorusso said it’s a way to honor their lives and help their families.

It is being hosted by the House Special Committee on Military and Veteran Affairs, but they are looking for sponsors. Tickets are likewise available: $50 for adults, $10 for students and free to chil-dren 12 and under.

Kickoff is at 4 p.m. on April 19 in Tiger Stadium, with gates open-ing at 2 p.m. and a reception after-wards.

They Said It

“If there are taxes they will be

- Rep. Jay Morris, on the coming session

As I reflect on what devotion to divine mercy is for me, I am aware that I would be totally depressed and left to my wretchedness without His mercy. I would be hopeless and wallowing in a mud puddle of my sins and disorders…. But instead I have been called out, called forth from the tomb by our beloved redeemer and bride-groom, to plunge myself into the ocean of his mercy, his love, his Redeeming Blood.

Now this excites me! I Don’t have to prove myself to anyone, or try to pull myself up by my bootstraps, but only need to come humbly and honestly before my God and tell Him who I am, in the raw, without minc-ing.

“The greater the sinner, the greater the right He has to my mercy,” Jesus tells us through St. Faustina.

The question I often need to ask myself is, “Am I aware of my sin? Am I aware of my great need for His mercy?” I may not com-mit major sins such as murder, adultery or other sins of impuri-ty, but in what ways am I not living in His Divine Will? In what ways am I living out of my human will or self-centered inclinations? In what ways am I lukewarm and tepid in loving and serving Him?...

When I first read Sr. Faustina’s writings on Divine Mercy, it gave

me courage to face more directly who I really am. As I read how Jesus so loves the sinner and longs for us to come to Him, though our sins or even our sin-ful inclinations “be as scarlet,” this helped me to let my

guard down to become more real with Him in who I am…and it continues to encourage me to let my guard down and be real about any and every area in my heart and my life where I am not in full conformity to Christ.

So often throughout my earli-er years of life, I felt I needed to wear a mask, to hide things about myself that I was ashamed of … disordered inclinations and sin-ful actions of different kinds. I felt a need to hide and not bring into the light things about myself that weren’t perfect, and maybe even far from perfect. Because I didn’t think I would be uncondi-tionally loved and accepted if others knew these things about me.

But what a grace this devotion to his divine mercy is. This is no new revelation for us as followers of Christ. Any authentic private revelations draw us to the riches we already have in public revela-tion and help us to go deeper in living them out. And, this is cer-tainly how it is with the divine mercy devotion… We are being drawn to the foot of the cross to be with the centurion soldier

when he pierces the side of Jesus and His Blood and Water pour out. Just as the centurion con-verted, we are being called to remain there with Mary at the foot of His cross, allowing Jesus’ redeeming blood to constantly permeate us as we continually open ourselves each day to still further conversion (metanoia).

Jesus tells us through St. Faustina of the two rays shown in the image, “These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My ago-nized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross… Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him” (299 Diary).

Now that’s truly Divine Mercy, and cause for great rejoicing, when the just hand of God will not lay hold of us…

Would we not but long to crawl up into Jesus’ open wound of the heart, where He is inviting us in to encounter the “depths of [His] tender mercy”? …

What does it mean for us to dwell in the shelter of these rays. The red ray represents His redeeming Blood that was shed for us, and the Holy Eucharist; the white ray represents the cleansing waters of Baptism,and the life-giving holy spirit.

Jesus tells us, “The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is – trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive.” (1578 diary).

All gifts are out on the table and being offered to us, espe-cially on this divine mercy Sunday. And, it is but a matter of us trusting and disposing our-selves to receive them.

What is it in our hearts that we most struggle with, are ashamed of or feel the need to invite God into? Sometimes it is hard for us to take the time and energy to go there; giving ourselves permis-sion to get in touch with our deepest desires or inclinations, be they rightly ordered or disor-dered.

Often times, it’s easier to live on a more surface level of life, never really living from the deep-est core of who we are created to be; because sometimes there’s a lot of junk and poopy scoop in between there that we need to face. And this can be grueling and take effort. But this is where the tremendous grace of devo-tion to His Divine Mercy comes in.

Jesus has already redeemed us, there are just parts of us that haven’t yet been open to receive His redeeming graces….

He tells us, “I am Love and Mercy itself … let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet… My mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world…. I let my Sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain. I never reject a contrite heart.”

Jesus’ Divine Mercy is always there for us, just waiting for us to trust and invite Him in. But in a most special way we are invited to receive these graces on this Divine Mercy Sunday where “all the Divine floodgates of [His] Mercy are open.

He tells us, “I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and espe-cially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy…. The soul that will go to confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment…. On that day ALL the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened.”

This means no reparation for sin. This means we are cleansed, not just as we are in any confes-sion (where we may need to make reparation afterwards); rather, we are cleansed as though a newly baptized, starting off with a clean slate; and if we died right after would go straight to Heaven (given we have a contrite heart, etc). Just as the good thief on the cross received the grace of going straight to Heaven, may we take full advantage of these spe-cial graces our Lord is offering to us this Divine Mercy Sunday.

“Oh Blood and Water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, we trust in you!”

A Duck Dynasty candidate for lieutenant governor?

Reflecting on divine mercy, public revelation

If doing for others defines the person, then Ascension Parish’s 10-year-old Katelyn Champagne is reaching out all the way to Africa.

“My papa showed me pic-tures of the kids he helped in Africa and I wanted to help too,” Champagne said.

While she is like most young girls having friends, and going to school and church, with her parents, Michael and Jenny. Her grandfather, Joe Martin, who she calls papa and inspired her to help others, is an associate pastor at the Church in St. Amant, where they attend ser-vices. Martin is also a board member with Children’s Cup, a Christian missionary program that works to ease the suffering of Africa’s orphaned children. He has a ministry there and through the Church in St. Amant, Champagne came to be aware of the charity’s work and decided she wanted to help, too.

“You always wonder if your kids are watching, “Martin said. “And hoping they are picking up your values and your virtues.

Champagne was watching and then started thinking.

She wanted to devise ways to make things easier for those who couldn’t do for themselves.

She observed children who had to walk, sometimes as far as five miles, from home, in bare feet to go to school.

Two weeks before her birth-day, she had an idea.

Champagne invited people to a party, but instead of birthday presents for her, she asked her guests to give her shoes that could be donated to Children’s Cup.

Katelyn’s mother, Jenny, told her father what his grand-daughter was doing and he made her an offer.

“I told her, if you really put this thing together,” Martin said.” I’ll take you to Africa so you can personally give the shoes to the children who’ll wear them.”

She accepted his offer.So far, she’s collected 50 pair

of new shoes, put them in a suitcase and, with her grandfa-ther’s help, sent the case to South Africa. Now, she is col-lecting more shoes and in June will a board a plane with her grandfather headed to Swaziland.

The state of Swaziland and countries of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa, where HIV and AIDS rates runs higher than anywhere else in the world, has been assisted by Children’s Cup since it was founded in 1992. At its Carepoint stations, children

receive food, medicine and now … shoes. In Swaziland alone, AIDS claims a staggering 40 percent of the population. Medications commonly avail-able in other countries are not typically available or affordable here, contributing to the high mortality rate and orphaned children who do not get state aid.

Ben Rogers, executive direc-tor of Children’s Cup, whose father-in-law Dave Ohlerking, along with his wife, Jean, found-ed the charity, couldn’t be hap-pier about Champagne’s effort to help her fellow human beings.

“We love it,” Rogers said. “We hope it spreads to other people to make this world a better place.

Rogers said it proves some-thing he believes to be true: “You don’t have to be 30 year old to make a difference.”

Martin said he is proud of Champagne.

“It touches me as a grandfa-ther,” he said. “To see my granddaughter acting so self-lessly, to go without, so others could have - especially in this day and age when you see so many younger people acting only in their own self-interests. It makes me proud to see her reaching out to help those who need it.”

“By mid-year, we were woe-fully short at half way and we started worrying – what if we don’t reach this goal,” said Mary Schmidt, principal of St. Charles Borromeo Elementary. “How do we explain this to the children.”

Right about that same time, though, the students’ grand-parents got involved and the total started rising faster.

“We realized what you can’t do alone, you can certainly do with the help of others,” Schmidt said.

And that’s when students at St. Matthew the Apostle, St. Charles Catholic and Brother Martin high schools and their family and friends in the New Orleans area community joined in the effort. Among others joining the effort were the St. Jude Society at St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Metairie, sixth graders at St. Matthew the Apostle in River Ridge and St. Mary’s Messenger children’s national magazine, which reprinted the Clarion Herald article on the papal Hail Mary drive in its spring issue.

The numbers kept coming as word spread.

“The kids at the school are absolutely convinced in the power of prayer and that God listens to children’s prayers in a special way,” she said.

By January, the number of Hail Marys exploded.

On Holy Thursday, a week before they expected to reach the goal, Benoit had seven stu-dents display placards that dis-played the count: 1,031,840. As of early April, the number was at 1.3 million Hail Marys and they intend to keep going until the end of this year.

“Our next step is to send a message to the pope that this little Catholic school in Destrehan prayed 1 million Hail Marys for his safety,” Schmidt said. They hope to relay their success to a friend who works in the Vatican. The message will be written on an aerial photograph of the stu-dents forming an “85” to com-memorate the school anniver-sary.

“This Holy Spirit is very powerful and we have no idea what will happen next,” she said.

Actually, Schmidt has a plan.“I told my staff, if the pope

calls – find me wherever I am.”

She Walks in BeautyBy Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and star-ry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the name-less grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face:

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on the cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints

that glow,But tell of days in goodness

spent,A mind at peace with all

below;A heart whose love in inno-

program involving the use of automated trucks might be a good one.

Parish Administrator Buddy Boe said the pilot pro-gram was restricted initially to a select area of the parish, but the administration allowed its expansion to areas on both sides of the river on Progressive Waste’s request. Because the move is tesing use of the trucks, Boe said it did not require a contract amendment.

In April of last year, the Parish Council and adminis-tration reached a settlement with the parish’s waste dis-posal contractor that extend-ed the garbage contract by 14

months and hiked rates by 45 cents a month per household this year and by another 45 cents next year. Progressive Waste filed the lawsuit when the parish government with-held $29,000 in payments over the contractor not picking up large debris piles, which the company maintained wasn’t part of the contract. The com-pany got the payments.

“We have enjoyed improved service” since reaching a set-tlement with the company, Boe told the council. But he said the parish government has also demonstrated that it’s not afraid to enforce its contracts.

But Councilman Larry Cochran also said it appeared the parish’s contract with Progressive Waste had been

amended without a vote of the council. Boe said that was not the case, but the council and Progressive Waste agreed to refer the matter to a coun-cil committee.

Steve Truitt, general super-intendent of public works, also said it was only a pilot program that is still being assessed with results expect-ed by mid-July. But Cochran fired back, “It looks like they’re going to it” and main-tained this belongs in a coun-cil committee meeting.

They agreed.The move came after the

council extensively ques-tioned the service and aired concerns about how it is and isn’t working.

Luis Lizama, Progressive Waste Southshore division

manager, accompanied by Mark Talbot, new district manager, announced at Monday’s council meeting that the new program had been unveiled in late January involving the use of automat-ed front-load trucks in areas on both sides of the Mississippi River. Lizama advised the council, that because it was a new service where the trucks picked up garbage on one side of the road and then looped back to collect on the other side, that residents might call to com-plain until they understand this new process.

“It’s working great,” he said of how the trucks were work-ing out in test areas. He also said the truck was new to the company’s fleet and worked

best when residents placed the dumpsters away from mailboxes and trees.

Councilwoman Julia Fisher-Perrier, who said she followed one of the trucks to assess it at work, questioned drivers maneuvering them in some of the parish’s smaller roads of around 15 feet wide. She further wanted clarifica-tion on what residents would have to do to accommodate this pilot program because she felt they shouldn’t be asked to do more to accom-modate waste pickup.

Councilman Terrell Wilson observed it used in the Primrose area and thought it was an improvement on col-lection. But he also expressed concern over the trucks beat-ing up the garbage cans and

requiring replacements, as well as garbage ending up on the streets.

When Talbot replied they’d replace the garbage cans as needed, Councilwoman Wendy Benedetto replied, “Do we have a say so if this doesn’t work?”

Citing rising operational costs, Talbot told Benedetto that options like the auto-mated truck, which requires only one person to operate, helped them cut costs and avoid rate hikes with a con-tract renewal. But he also said, “If we fail at this we’ll pick it up as we did initially.”

Benedetto told him to reach out to the parish’s con-tract monitors to work on residents’ complaints about the service.

TraSH from page 2A

GirlS from page 2AThe players recently visited

the parish as competitors in the 2015 International Biddy Basketball Tournament and were treated to some Louisiana lifestyle. As part of the agree-ment to host the tournament at the Edward Dufresne Community Center, the parish houses, feeds and entertains the Finnish teams during their recent week stay in St. Charles Parish.

The visit turned into an adventure of Finnish girls gone wild in the U.S.

“We took them to Shoe Dept. and Rue 21 in Boutte and I had trouble getting them out of there,” Foret said.

They wanted to shop – and they did it and more.

They went to Lakeside Mall, visited Café DuMonde in the French Quarter and rode the trolley car to the Riverwalk. On the way back, they walked along the river and were fascinated by the Mississippi River, the Greater New Orleans Bridge and tugboats. On Wednesday night, they took them to the Pelicans game and really loved it.

But Foret said what they loved the most was the Walmart in Boutte.

They went wild for the aisles of candy and cookies, especially Oreos, he said.

“They also loved licorice,” said Jeanne Arabie, sports man-agement clerk with the Department of Parks and Recreation.

Arabie, who cooked for the players everyday, treated them to local favorites, including red beans and rice, shrimp pasta jambalaya and many other local dishes which she said they also loved.

“Wednesday we prepared a meal not just for the girls, but for the RSVP volunteers who helped us all week long,” Foret said. “Parish President [V.J.] St. Pierre came by and said a few nice things to the girls and praised the department for see-ing to the girls in such a beauti-ful way, and he was pleased they seemed to be having such a nice time.”

When it came time to say goodbye, Arabie and Foret both said it was a special moment and difficult to part for both of them.

“Tell you the truth,” Foret said. “Some of the girls had tears in their eyes, and honestly, so did we.”

The parting became even more emotional when the play-ers presented gifts for the Parks and Recreation staff.

Yes, it was candy – Finnish treats.

Councilman Terrell Wilson expressed concern over the trucks beating up the garbage cans and requiring replacements, as well as garbage ending up on the streets.

With funding and plans in hand, work is expected to start soon on completing the levee bike path system on both sides of the Mississippi River, said St. Charles Parish spokeswom-an Renee Simpson.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation (DOTD) recently approved funding for last two phases of the West Bank Levee Multi-Use Path, according to St. Charles Parish grants officer Holly Fonseca.

Some $816,000 was approved for Phase IV that will extend from Elm Street in Hahnville to La. 3142 in Taft. Some $1.2 million was approved for Phase V that will continue the path to the St. Charles – St. John parish line.

Funding for both will come from the DOTD’s Alternatives Program for 2014-16.

The cost share on the two upcoming phases on the West Bank will be funded 80-20 with the parish picking up 20 percent of the costs and the DOTD program picking up 80 percent.

The DOTD is considering plans for the East Bank walk-way Phase IV and, once final-ized, bids on the project could

be taken by late 2015. Although funding was

approved as early as 2011 on the phases, Simpson said plans are now in the works.

Seeking funds and funding cuts stalled the project’s com-pletion for years, but Simpson said work may soon be under way to complete the path sys-tem.

Walkers, bikers and joggers were able to travel from New Sarpy to the Bonnet Carre

Spillway on a new paved path with the completed East Bank Multi-Use Mississippi Levee path. The nearly $1 million project was subsidized with grant funds.

Parish President V.J. St. Pierre called the levee bike sys-tem on the East Bank shows “the commitment of state and parish leaders, over many years, to provide more recre-ation and transportation opportunities in our area.

In August of last year, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne said track upgrades were underway to transform the Motorsports Park into a Verizon IndyCar Series circuit, complete with state-of-the-art equipment, grandstands and viewing platforms.

It brings open-wheel racing to New Orleans for the first time.

The three-day weekend festival will attract party-goers from all over the world to witness this first-time action packed event.

The newly designed NOLA Motorsports Park facility fea-ture a 2.74-mile track with 13 turns that incorporate pass-ing zones suitable for the Verizon IndyCar Series and Mazda Road to Indy Series.

“I think everybody is pretty excited about coming to New Orleans for the race,” said Jimmy Hinchcliffe, IndyCar Series Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver. “This is a city that’s pretty famous for throwing a hell of a party.”

Along with Hinchcliffe, a host of drivers will appear,

including Juan Pablo Montoya winner at St. Petersburg round one, who holds the early points lead in the series with 51. Will Power is ranked No. 2 with 44 points and Tony Kanaan secured the No. 3 spot with 35 points, according to nextginindy.com.

“I love being here in New Orleans,” IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden said on the Grand Prix of Louisiana’s Facebook page. “This is a brand new market for us in Indy car racing. We’ve been

so excited to come here and work with everyone, see this new town, see this new track that we’ve never been to, it’s just an amazing place for us. This is a party town, you guys do it better than anyone else, we just love to be here racing IndyCars, the fastest cars on the planet.”

The event also will feature entertainment, local cuisine and a family environment.

Adult tickets start at $45 for Friday’s practice round and run to $125 for a three-day pass. Junior passes start

at $5 for general admission and run up to $30 depending on seating. Children under 5-years-old are free with a ticketed adult. An Andretti Club pass also will be avail-able for $495 to $995.

millage would go to parish employee raises or bonuses. Boe said they are civil workers and their pay is decided there.

“We feel this is practical,” Boe told the estimated 20 people who attended the meeting at the American Legion Hall in St. Rose about the need to generate local, stable funding to generate bonds and grants for millions in projects.

Residents will vote May 2 on two propositions.

Proposition 1 would renew a 2.2-mill tax for 30 years to finance wastewater system improve-ments. It also would let parish officials use a portion of the rev-enue to cover operations and maintenance costs for the system after bonds are paid off in 2018.

Proposition 2 is a new 4-mill tax (3.6 mills new tax and .4 mill expected to come from a reduction in a street lighting tax). It would be dedicated to building an estimated $300 mil-lion flood protection levee sys-tem on the west bank and com-pleting the levee system on the east bank at Montz. Both areas lie outside of the existing feder-al levee system.

“D.C. is not coming,” Boe said of expecting federal fund-ing to cover levee protection costs. “The funding has to come from the local level. The bond-ing is key and we need large amounts of money.”

The parish is currently building a west bank levee with $21 mil-lion in local money that has been saved since 2008, coupled with state and federal matches. That

money will be depleted by the fall, spent on projects underway.

Sam Scholle, parish public works director, added, that a wastewater rate hike wouldn’t work either because many major area industries don’t pay sewer fees because have their own sewer treatment plants.

As to the levee system, Scholle said it is as much about getting water out as keeping it out, which is costly to build, operate, maintain and network. He recounted hurricanes push water into the area that took three weeks to get out.

Parish officials say, if Proposition 2 fails, levee con-struction would stop until fed-eral or state money is awarded. But to get this money, the par-ish would need matching money to help pay for projects.

According to Boe, “Right now we have about 45 percent our population with absolutely no protection.”

He said, although residents have questioned why both propositions now, they rely on each other to deal with the flooding, as well as promote business and economic growth in the parish.

“We’re trying to get away from hoping it doesn’t come,” he said of flooding.

The next parishwide town hall meeting will be held 6 p.m. Thursday, April 9, at Edward A. Dufresne Community Center, 247 Judge Edward Dufresne Parkway, Luling.

The Fighting Wildcats have only allowed six runs in the past five games as they beat John Ehret 4-2, and shutout Central Lafourche, South Lafourche, H.L. Bourgeois. Tuesday night DHS handed East St. John a 7-4 loss.

Last Tuesday, DHS stifled Central LaFourche 10-0 on the road. The Fighting Wildcats scored multiple runs in the top of the second and top of the third to lead 9-0, where they stayed until the top of the sixth, when junior Brandon Wild sin-gled to left field to bring Brennan Breaud across the plate to score the tenth and last run of the ballgame.

Destrehan junior Cole Martin registered the shutout win. Martin allowed four hits and struck out eight in six innings.

After a day of rest, DHS horse-collared South LaFourche 8-0 at home in seven innings. Destrehan senior Connor Caminita went around the horn as he was walked to first in the bottom of the first, then stole second, and then third and finally scored on an error. Caminita also played the role of “hit” kid with three RBI’s on two hits off three at bats. He finished with five stolen bases.

Fellow seniors Logan Krajcer and Brennan Breaud also boosted five bases apiece. DHS scored three more runs in the fifth, and then another four in the bottom of the sixth. Caminita singled, scoring juniors Brandon Robichaux and

Jared Montz. Brennan Breaud followed suit when his single plated both Martin and Caminita.

Destrehan senior pitcher Logan Babin record-ed the win. Babin threw seven strikeouts, walked one and gave up three hits in seven innings.

On Saturday the Fighting Wildcats handed an 11-0 shutout loss to H.L. Bourgeois. Destrehan scored six runs in the first three innings and never looked back.

Martin had a good day at the plate, banging in three RBIs on two hits after hitting a single in the third and a double in the fourth.

Krajcer hit his second sac fly in the fourth, and Breaud, Simon and Montz all scored off Martin’s double to lead 10-0 in the top of the fourth

The Hahnville Tigers remained perfect in district play after knocking off East St. John, H.L. Bourgeois, Central Lafourche and South Lafourche.

On Tuesday the Tigers defeated East St. John 7-2. Hahnville sophomore Waylon LeBlanc stepped up to the mound from his usual shortstop spot to hurl two and two thirds innings. LeBlanc allowed no earned runs walked one and struck out five. Stepping up to the plate, LeBlanc tripled a line drive screamer to right field in the top of the third to score senior Mark Abate to put the first run the board.

One play later Junior Matthew Barbier banged a sac fly to score LeBlanc, Sophomore Peyton Dufrene singled to left field scoring sophomore Austin Perrin before innings close to take a 3-0 lead in the top of the third.

Even though ESJ put up two runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth, Hahnville scored four more runs in the top of the seventh to secure the win.

Hahnville Junior Logan Billingsley was the player of the day last Thursday hurling a great game but also delivering from the dish in Hahnville’s shutout win over H.L. Bourgeois. Billingsley allowed no earned runs, walked three and struck out eight in six innings.

Putting down the ball and picking up the bat, the junior first baseman/pitcher hit a sac fly in the first to score LeBlanc and an RBI single in the second to score LeBlanc for the second time in two innings. It must have been a day for pitchers because sophomore Austin Perrin hit a ground ball single to center field scoring junior Kevin Cormadelle also in the second.

Many times we hook up our boats and head out for the open water in search of catching a big one. Before we leave the house, a son or daughter will ask, “When can I go with you?” The response was; ”Not this time, I’ll bring you another day.”

As for this fisherman, the biggest catch I ever made was the day my son or daughter asked to come fishing. One time the wife left my daughter with me to babysit. She was 3 years old at the time and I wanted to go fishing. I put some warm clothes on her and went cat fishing under the bridges in Des Allemands. It was a wonderful experience.

I was recently honored to take Macy Oertling and her father, Hahnville High School Principal Ken Oertling, fishing.

“She is always the first person on my boat,” Ken said of his daughter. “At age 8, she caught her first fish, a redfish.”

Two days before our trip, Eugene Hoover, BASS Masters High School tournament director, want-ed to fish in the Lake Salvador Management Area. Fishing in the main Gulf Canal at 100 Bass Point, we used the brown/chartreuse triple tail, ice blue shad by Bobby Garland, blue/chartreuse and black/chartreuse mini jigs under a cork to reel in 45 nice sac-a-lait.

“This is amazing how these fish are on the edge of the grass beds,” Hoover said.

After seeing the pictures of the sac-a-lait Hoover and I caught, Ken wanted to hit the water. We met at Ken’s house at 6:30 a.m. and Macy was up with her Dad and ready to go.

We launched at the end of the road in Bayou Gauche and our destination was the Gulf Canal. Twenty minutes later, we were throwing blue/chartreuse and black/chartreuse mini jigs under a cork in the same areas where Hoover and I caught 45 sac-a-lait.

The water had come up and pushed the clear water into the dead ends of the Gulf Canal. We watched 10-year-old Macy throw her own rod-n-reel. She began catching big bull bream between the grass and shoreline.

Her enthusiasm for fishing was contagious. It made me want to fish as hard as she did.

We caught 20 nice big bluegills and three sac-a-lait fishing the Gulf Canal, 100 Bass Point, the Fence and Alligator Pond.

“We didn’t catch too many fish today, but my biggest catch is being with my daughter, Macy, today!” Ken said.

Taking a kid fishing is the biggest catch

After dropping the cross-river rivalry to Hahnville, the Destrehan Lady Cats rolled over South Lafourche, Central Lafourche and John Ehret last week with shutouts in two of three games.

Destrehan beat Central Lafourche on Thursday 3-0 after junior Amanda McNaughton tripled for a two-run RBI in the top of the fourth inning. Junior Katie Brady

drove in sophomore Julie Scheuermann for the third run in top of the sixth inning. Destrehan pitcher junior Krista Robles allowed no earned runs on nine hits and struck out four over seven innings.

On Saturday, Destrehan hosted South Lafourche and put the mercy rule into effect with a 14-4 victory in five innings.

Robles hit an RBI double, while senior Morgan Foret, who’s been on fire in recent

weeks, hit a two-run double to left field, plating freshman Kaela Schiro and sophomore Tabitha Tabb.

Destrehan Junior Taylor Lucich then doubled to left field with a hard line drive bringing Foret home. Brady flied out on her next at bat to bring Lucich home after the tag for the last run of the game.

On Monday, the Lady Cats put the mercy rule into effect for the second game in a row by beating John Ehret 10-0 in five innings.

The Lady Cats scored three runs over the first three innings and five runs in the fourth inning. Two more runs in the fifth ended the game. Sophomore Carla Beck record-ed the win for Destrehan giv-ing up one hit in the shutout.

After beating Destrehan 4-3 earlier in the week, the Hahnville Lady Tigers went 1-2 in the Riverside Tournament, defeating Belle Chase but coming up short against Riverside and Walker.

The Lady Tigers handed Belle Chase a 9-1 loss. Hahnville freshman Sarah VanEtta went 2-for-3 with a homerun. Sophomore Maddison LeBlanc chipped in with an RBI double and Jourdyn Hogan helped out

with an RBI single. Freshman Kamryn Keller had a huge afternoon going 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBIs. Senior Lauren Beadle recorded the win allowing one earned run, seven hits and one walk while striking out five in seven innings.

The Lady Tigers dropped their second game 9-7 to Riverside, despite VanEtta going 2-for-3 with a three-run homer. Keller went 2-for-2, along with junior Maeson Martindale who also 2-for-2. Freshman Courtney Ortego finished 2-for-3.

Beadle took the loss inside the circle for the Lady Tigers.

A 10-6 loss to Walker fin-ished the weekend for Hahnville despite multiple hits from Martindale, VanEtta and junior Madison Fremen.

“We hit the ball extremely well this weekend,” Lady Tiger head coach Gerry Nugent said. “Unfortunately, as a team we were lacking in a few other key areas, which prevented us from being completely successful.

“We are currently still ranked in the top 10 and con-trol our own destiny with the post season.”

St. Charles Parish girls 8U basketball team won the International Biddy Basketball Tournament, which was held in Luling’s Edward Dufresne Community Center for the first time.

Standout player A’Maya Armstrong led her team to the “AA” bracket championship. The 8U St. Charles Parish squad went undefeated, sweep-ing competition from around the state. Armstrong was named Miss “Iddy Biddy” of the tournament. An MVP - like distinction a player wins after being voted on by the majority of coaches within the tourney.

Jefferson Parish (JP) West won the 10U-year old champi-onship and JP East won the 12-year old championship.

“This is the first year we’ve been able to host this event,” said Duane Foret, director of St. Charles Parish Department of

Parks and Recreation. “With the help of Harold Blood, prin-cipal of the R.K. Smith Middle School, and the use of their gymnasium, we were able to accommodate all the teams. The 8U and 10U- year-olds used the community center court and the 12-year-olds used the R.K. Smith court.

The weeklong, 28-team, round robin, double-elimina-tion tournament involved eight teams from the 8U- (or under)-year olds, 10 teams from the 10U-year-olds, and 10 teams from the 12U-year-olds, which

included two, 12U-year-old teams from Finland, carrying on a tradition of Finland-based teams participating in the tour-nament for the past 36 years.

“We started the event off with a banquet right here in the community center,” Foret said. “We served approximately 1,400 people, announced each team’s name, and offered shrimp jambalaya, pork jamba-laya prepared by Lowell “Buddy” Gaubert, and catfish, prepared by a gentleman of the same name and for dessert we served Marjoria’s King Cake.”

Spring’s burst of colors and warmer tem-peratures draw many people outside to the garden and flower beds, but getting it right means working with nature.

Of these typical do’s and don’ts with gar-dening, the most important rule is water-ing and that can be tricky depending on where the plants are going, according to Hope Zeller, manager of Martin’s Nursery and Landscape Co. in Luling. Watering too much or too little can kill them.

“If it’s out in the full sun or a pot, you need different watering than if it’s in the ground,” Zeller said. “Some plants need a good soaking, not a sprinkling, like a rain so the water goes down in the ground – and the roots go looking for that water.”

In between days, the ground should go dry.

To determine this, Zeller said there’s only one way to really accurately deter-mine if the plants need water.

“You have to put your hands in the dirt and that’s what people don’t understand,” she said. “Lack of water and too much water is all the same symptoms, so you have to get your hands dirty to see what the problem is.”

This time of year, Zeller said a lot of people also come to the nursery asking about their fruit trees. They could be what appears to be mold on the leaves while most of the time it’s an insect that has to be eliminated and this is where dealing with someone with experience really makes a difference.

“We grow our plants here so if someone’s got a problem all they have to do is come here and ask or we send them to the [LSU AgCenter] county agent if we don’t know.”

People also like color and easy mainte-nance on their gardens and flower beds so Zeller said they recommend plants indig-enous to Louisiana. They’re called

Louisiana superplants such as hydrangeas, camellias, Pieris (dwarf shrubs), celebrity tomatoes and the ichiban eggplants, although she said this plant is being dis-continued.

“Southern Living plants are a really big hit and there are different kinds,” she said. “The less maintenance they have to do, the more they like it.”

Asked what to plant, Zeller recommend-ed perennials over annuals because the plant blooms every year instead of just one year.

Christine Trevett, as master gardener in Luling, agreed with going with perennials for longer beauty and easier maintenance, particularly as she has gotten older but still wants a beautiful and fragrant yard.

“I always try to find something that has a fragrance to it,” Trevett said.

This year’s favorite is assylium, which she said produces a purple little flower. She also likes pansies, which have a beautiful fragrance.

For Trevett, a big gardening tip is pre-paring the soil.

Her mix is 60 percent soil, 20 percent peat moss and 20 percent manure, which can be gotten any nursery. She removes several inches of the existing top soil and replaces it with her mix. Don’t forget to mulch.

When choosing plants, stick to the regu-lars but don’t be afraid to be adventure-some, too.

Also, Trevett said she has learned that if a plant doesn’t do well in a particular spot to just move it somewhere else.

She’s also found that tomatoes do better in pots and don’t attract as many insects.

For beginners or plant-challenged peo-ple, herbs are easy to grow and are sturdy, according to Trevett. But she advised to definitely plant them in pots. Her passion is basil (added to fresh tomatoes, mozza-rella and balsamic oil) and her husband’s

love of mint juleps requires her herb gar-den include mint. Rosemary has proven a hardy plant that grows year round.

For fruit trees, she warned against using pesticides until they stop blooming to avoid killing bees that are pollinating them.

The lawn is another aspect of outdoor living in spring that requires some atten-tion.

Rene Schmit, county agent with the LSU AgCenter in St. Charles Parish, recom-mended fertilizing from now through mid-April, which provides the greatest benefit to lawn grasses for timely nutrition for the new growing season.

“When applying a fertilizer, always apply to a dry lawn and preferably after the lawn has been freshly mowed,” he said. “Be sure to water in the fertilizer after application or apply the fertilizer when you know a rain is to occur within a three-day period.

Equally important is applying the right amount of fertilizer.

It should be spread at the recommended rate based on the bag label. Schmit said it is best to use a mechanical push applicator, either a broadcast or drop type spreader. Apply half the needed amount in one direction (east-west), then apply the other half in the other direction (north-south).

Generally this process takes several weeks to be fully accomplished and is important to developing a stronger and healthier root system for the new growing season. Therefore it is beneficial to wait until the grass has achieved a full active growth before applying fertilizer to the lawn.

“Be patient in allowing your lawn grass to reach its full green-up and an active growth stage before fertilizing,” he said. “Timely fertilization will go a long way in contributing to a healthier lawn this grow-ing season.”

Shoppers at Martin’s Nursury and Landscape Co. in Luling are gearing up for gardens, flower beds and landscaping. Above, purple azaleas offer brilliant color for the yard.

Senior Library ShowThe St. Charles Art Guild Community Outreach project for seniors was held at the St. Charles Parish Council on Aging Senior Center-New Sarpy. It was a great success. The art guild provided a paint-ing lesson with a spring theme using warm and cool colors to paint spring flowers and make shamrock prints. Most of all, everyone had a great time! A reception for these budding senior citi-zen artists was held on Tuesday October 31, 2015 for the New Sarpy Senior Citizen Activity Center at the St. Charles East Bank Regional Library. Paintings were put on display at the library on March 21 and will be displayed until April 16. The activity was funded through a Louisiana Decentralized Arts Funding Program and the St. Charles Women’s Club. The following SCAG art-ists volunteers helped make this project possible: Laurie Abadie, Carolyn Clausing, Carol Zehner, Clair Olivier and Donna Nassar.

PRAYERS PRAYERS

I’m With You AlwaysBehold, I’m with you always, is what our Jesus tells us. That is so true, because we can feel Him in our soul. The Bible tells us so. Believe & receive. Ask for His help & He will hear you. Jesus is always there to help when we call on Him. Ask & it shall be given unto you. Have faith & believe in Jesus’ Name. All things are possible with God. If we lack faith, ask God to increase your faith & He will. We can remove any mountains in our life in Jesus’ name. Nothing is too hard for God, for He has all power in Heaven & on Earth. Just believe & receive & your answer is on its way. Amen.
