Accord-ing to theirrules andregulations,he says, theywere notable toapproachher andinquireabout thepurchase unless they weresure it had been paid for.

“They suspected (the

air conditioners) had beenshoplifted, but they let hergo,” he said. “The guy overloss prevention actuallygot on her Facebook pageand saw where she wastrying to sell those air con-ditioners. Because of Face-book, he was actually ableto identify the three airconditioners as the onesthat came from here.”

On Thursday, April 16,the same security officersaw her back in the store,and watched her place

four more air conditionersinto a shopping cart andwalk out of the store. Heimmediately called Min-den police, Cropper says.

serve a common goal.“We were talking about

all these outreach servicesand how they were allover,” she said. “In Shreve-port, they have teams foreverything – sexualassault, domestic vio-lence, homelessness, andI thought we need a team,because in rural areas, it’sjust different. This iseverybody’s team. It willbe what we make it to be.”

In light of April asNational Sexual Assault

The Brothers KeepersMotorcycle Club convergedon Lake Bistineau State Parkthis weekened to raise fundsfor a good cause.

Helping to fund the burncamp in Scottsville, Texas, the13th annual Burn Run wasanother success. As of presstime, the total amount raisedthis year was unavailable, butin 2014, the club, along withothers, raised $43,000.Shreveport Chapter presidentDamon Johnson says the firstyear, they raised $500.

“We started raising moneyfor the Percy R. Burn Founda-tion, which sponsors ‘CampI’m Still Me,’” he said. “It is aburn camp for kids in thesummer where kids withsevere burns are able to goand just have a nice, fun sum-mer camp week. It’s the onetime a year where they get tobe normal and not worryabout their scars.”

The camp was establishedthrough physicians with theburn unit at University Healthin Shreveport.

unteer firemen who ownmotorcycles.

“We just get togetherand raise money for differ-ent charities in differentareas and just for the loveof riding,” Johnson said.

During burn week, thechapter will ride toScottsville, present thecheck and spend sometime with the kids.

“The kids light up whenthey see you pull in on amotorcycle, and they seethe fire truck,” he said.“Just them being kids. Theydon’t have to hide theirscars, they don’t have toworry about being teasedor made fun of. It justtouches your heart whenthey run up to you andwant to give you a hug andthank you for doing whatyou do.”

They chose LakeBistineau State Park, he

says, because the fundrais-er has grown over the yearsand needed more space tohost their events duringthe weekend. The firstevents were hosted atCamp Joy, but as it grew, ithad to be moved, he says.

“Webster Parish hasembraced our event, andhas helped us obtain thepark,” he said. “They’vedonated the park fees tous, and we get an advertis-ing grant from the WebsterParish (Convention andVisitors Bureau), andthey’ve opened their armsand welcomed us 100 per-cent. The staff at the statepark has just been so help-ful to accommodate this.”

As the fundraiser hasgrown, the very kids thatbenefit from it have comeback to help with it.

Bridgett Dauzat, 27, ofCastor, was a camper andlater a camp counselor atthe burn camp, and with-out it, she says she doesn’tknow what she would havedone.

Her story begins in1993, when she and hercousins were playing in theyard. Her father was burn-ing some stumps and thegas can blew up and shotacross the yard. She suf-fered second and thirddegree burns over 76 per-cent of her body.

“My mom and dad tack-led me down to the groundand put me out and rushedme to the hospital,” shesaid, “and I was sent to LSUfrom Homer (then HomerMemorial Hospital).”

In June 1994, sheattended her first camp.

Growing up was hardfor her, she says.

“A lot of the kids pickedon me,” she said. “I had avery bad problem withself-esteem. I didn’t think Iwas pretty or anything. Istayed active in sports, andbefore I got burned, I wasin a lot of pageants.”

Following the accident,she was pulled out of thepageant scene until herhigh school years when she

competed at LakesideJr./Sr. High School. Shesays she placed in the pag-eants almost each time.

Although she grew up inCastor, she spent herschool years at Glenbrookand at Lakeside so shecould play sports.

Going through the after-math and learning to livewith the disfiguration,Dauzat has become astronger person, sayingshe learned looks aren’teverything.

“It’s about what’s on theinside and how you havean outlook on things,” shesaid. “You just push for-ward through life no mat-ter what. Burn camphelped me find who I am,and it let me know I’m notthe only one. There’s otherpeople and there wereother people that wereworse than me.”

She went back to theburn camp each year,graduating from camper tojunior counselor to campcounselor to help other

kids.“It was a big change,”

she said, “because I hadbeen going for so long thatthey made me a juniorcounselor when I was 14,and I went to a full-fledgedcounselor when I was 17.When I had my kids and Ididn’t go, it was heart-breaking.”

She has children and is

now married and movingforward with her life. Shedoes go to the camp fortwo or three days a year,but this is the first year shehas been able to partici-pate in the burn run andgive back to the camp.

“They’re like a secondfamily,” she says of every-one at the burn camp.

LOS ANGELES (AP)— Blake Griffin acceler-ated through the paintand threw down a viciousdunk right on AronBaynes' head in the thirdquarter. A few minuteslater, Griffin did it againto the same poor SanAntonio center.

After three years ofearly-round failures, theLos Angeles Clippers arehungry for their firstmajor taste of postseasonsuccess. As Griffinproved, they'll jump allover the defending cham-pion Spurs as many timesas necessary to advance.

Chris Paul scored 32points, Griffin added 26points and 12 rebounds,and the Clippers surgedin the second half for a107-92 victory Sundaynight in their first-roundseries opener.

Jamal Crawford added17 points as the Clippersstayed comfortably aheaddown the stretch, meet-ing the defendingchamps' challenge to startoff a difficult postseason-opening matchup for twopowerful teams.

"They're still thedefending champs, andthey're going to be thedefending champs everynight," Clippers coachDoc Rivers said. "Wehave a lot of confidencein our team, but you justhave to stay humble andrespect who you're play-ing."

Game 2 is Wednesdaynight.

Paul and Griffin tookcontrol in the third quar-ter with a 24-10 run.Griffin got his roof-rais-ing, back-to-back dunksoff pick-and-roll plays,throwing down in vintageLob City style afteravoiding some acrobaticdunks this season to pro-tect his health.

Kawhi Leonard scored18 points for the Spurs,who had won the openinggame in their previous 11playoff series. TimDuncan had 11 pointsand 11 rebounds, but theSpurs couldn't rally fromtheir hefty second-halfdeficit.

Cone and Abigail Gilbertdefeated Kyie andCaroline Mills 3-6, 6-3, 1-0.

“We started the firstmatch sluggishly,” Orrsaid. “But stringing a cou-ple of games together atthe end of the first set gaveus a degree of momentum.

Boys SinglesThe Apaches No. 1,

Schuyler Powell, wasdefeated by Travis Rawls7-6, 6-2, 1-0.

nered with Justin Le at theNo. 1 contest and defeatedNate Stansbury and TurnerBridges 6-0, 6-2.

Glenbrook Netters impress against RiverfieldH I G H S C H O O L T E N N I S

Tim Tebow expected to sign with PhiladelphiaN A T I O N A L F O O T B A L L L E A G U E

PHILADELPHIA (AP)— It's Tebow Time in theCity of Brotherly Love.

Tim Tebow is expectedto sign a one-year contractwith the Eagles onMonday, according to threepeople familiar with thedeal. The people spoke toThe Associated Press oncondition of anonymitySunday because the con-tract hasn't been finalized.

Tebow hasn't played inthe NFL since 2012 withthe New York Jets. He was

released by the NewEngland Patriots before the2013 season and spent lastyear working in televisionas an analyst for the SECNetwork and ESPN.

Despite being out of theleague, the 27-year-oldTebow remained one of themost popular playersaround. He has a legion offans who follow himbecause of his strongChristian beliefs.

The former HeismanTrophy winner led Florida

to two national titles andwas a first-round pick byDenver in 2010. He started16 games during two sea-sons with the Broncos,including a playoff victoryover Pittsburgh in January2012. Tebow was traded tothe Jets after Denversigned Peyton Manning.

The 27-year-old Tebowjoins quarterbacks SamBradford, Mark Sanchez,Matt Barkley and G.J.Kinne on Philadelphia'sroster. The addition of

Tebow would be the latestmove in a stunning offsea-son for coach Chip Kelly.He traded Nick Foles,LeSean McCoy andallowed Jeremy Maclin toleave in free agency.

Tebow worked out forthe Eagles last month andKelly later said he's always"been a fan of Tim."

Tebow had some suc-cess in Denver, but hisinaccurate passing and lackof pocket presence was anissue. His strength has

been running the ball orimprovising. Tebow hascompleted just 47.9 per-cent of his passes for 2,422yards, 17 touchdowns andnine interceptions. He has989 yards rushing, a 5.0average yards per carryand 12 TDs.

Tebow worked with for-mer major league pitcherTom House on improvinghis mechanics. He joins theEagles in time to start theiroffseason program thisweek.
