Officials with theLouisiana Department ofWildlife and Fisheries saythey continue the fightagainst giant salvinia onLake Bistineau; however, itis an ongoing issue thatwill be for years to come.
Jeff Sibley, LDWF biolo-gist supervisor for inlandfisheries district 1, sayswhile they have madesome headway in fighting
the frustrating invasiveaquatic weed, it may nevergo away, because as soonas they kill it, it comesright back.
They have been usingseveral ways to kill theweed, including herbicidespraying, which is current-ly underway, the introduc-tion of weevils, and theyare currently working withother scientists in findingways to combat it 24 hoursper day, seven days perweek.
Many of those in atten-
dance were residents wholive around Lake Bistineauand some expressed theirdisappoint-ment inlearningnothingnew, whileothers askedquestionsabout theattempts toeradicatethe salvinia.
State Rep. GeneReynolds, one of severalpolitical figures in atten-
dance, says he tried to geta bill passed in this year’slegislative session thatwould have funded a wayto build a weevil breedingstation at Lake Bistineau.
Weevils, a tropicalinsect, are known for theirability to kill salvinia (atropical aquatic plant), butthe problem, Sibley says, isthe weevils are dyingfaster than the salviniadue to Louisiana’s temper-ate climate. The salviniaweathers the cold betterthan the weevils.
Historically, LakeBistineau has beenplagued with aquatic veg-etation and there aremany reasons for that, Sib-ley says. Some of it is dueto the fact that LakeBistineau is swampland,primarily in the upper lakearea around the dam, andnature has tried to take itscourse and turn it backinto swampland.

A Bossier City man pledguilty Monday to the 2013shooting death of James Rosy-pal, a Dubberly resident whoworked at a conveniencestore on Airline Drive inBossier City.
Adrian Little, 24, pledguilty to second-degree mur-der.
According to theBossier/Webster DistrictAttorney’s Office, Bossierpolice responded to theExxon FoodFast on Nov. 9,2013 wherethey foundRosypal lyingbehind thecounter unre-sponsive andthe cash regis-ter open.
O f f i c e r sworked quickly and obtainedvideo surveillance from thestore, which led to Little’sarrest. Surveillance showedLittle committing the armedrobbery of the store andshooting Rosypal twice beforeexiting the store.
Bossier detectives wereable to get a confession fromLittle, officials say, and werealso able to locate the murderweapon. Experts from theNorth Louisiana Crime Labexamined the gun and werenot only able to determinethat it was the same gun thatkilled Rosypal but that Little’sDNA was on the gun.
“The Bossier City PoliceDepartment did an outstand-ing job on this case,” DistrictAttorney Schuyler Marvinsaid. “They were called out at1:30 in the morning and thewhole department workedcontinuously until they were

After Clerk of Court HolliVining approached the Web-ster Parish Police Jury aboutchanging polling places forprecincts at the alternativeschool, some digging wasdone and a solution could beat hand – but it won’t happenuntil next year.
Secretary Treasurer RondaCarnahan says the changescan’t happen until next yearbecause it’s so close to elec-tion day now. The issue cameup in May about the alterna-tive school and the poor con-dition of the school as a placefor voters to cast their ballots.Vining suggested using theForestry Building at the fair-grounds, but after someresearch, that building isbooked for this year, Carna-han says.
“For this year, that is out,”she said. “We may at a laterdate decide to try to findsomething a little better.We’ve looked at the ForestryBuilding, we’ve looked at theMinden High School cafete-ria, we’ve just looked at sever-al places.”
She says Precinct 21, inCharlie Odom’s district (Dis-trict 8), there are buildingswithin his district so they willhave to keep those voterswithin that area.
Juror Jerri Lee’s precinct,Precinct 18, has 1,780 voters,and it will be proposed tomove Precinct 18 from thealternative school to the civiccenter.
“If we’re going to movethem, it will be a permanentmove,” Carnahan said.

Jeff Sibley, LDWF biology supervisor for inland fisheries for district 1, answers questions following a presentation on LakeBistineau Tuesday and where it stands today. Sibley talked about the things they are doing to fight giant salvinia as well asother invasive aquatic vegetation. Michelle Bates/Press-Herald

ing for 70 years,” hesaid, speaking of otheraquatic vegetationbefore the introduc-tion of salvinia. “Whatis the biggest thing wehave facing Bistineautoday? It’s a processcalled eutriphication,basically the agingprocess of the lake.”
The good news isthe bass fishing hasbeen better than it’sbeen in many yearsdue to the drawdowns,another measure tofight giant salvinia.Sibley says the chang-ing out of water hasreinvigorated the fishpopulation, and in Jan-uary 2015, Bassmasterslisted Lake Bistineau asNo. 27 in ranking thetop places for bass
fishing. Another concern by
residents was the clos-ing of Bistineau at theheight of flooding. Sev-eral claimed they didnot know the lake wasclosed and looked toLDWF for answers.
Sibley explained theparish police juries areresponsible for makingthe decision to closethe lake.
They asked if therewas some way to notifythose who live aroundthe lake when it wouldbe closed and evenasked for a herbicidespraying schedule tobe posted online. Sib-ley says some meas-ures could be lookedinto to better informthe public, eventhough several pressreleases were releasedbefore the closing ofthe lake.

The Webster ParishLibrary’s millage tax will bevoted on in the policejury’s August meeting, buta few things have changed.
Secretary TreasurerRonda Carnahan says newrequirements for notifica-tion must be met and thetax is not thought of as arenewal, but a new tax. Tobe clear, the 12 mill ad val-orem tax was voted on by
the people and passed inMay 2014. The only thingto change is some of therequirements that must bemet.
Carnahan says this wasthe reason for the specialcalled meeting Tuesday –to make sure they met thestate requirement of atleast a 30-day notification,no more than 60 days priorto the date of the millageadoption. She says themeeting between July andAugust is only 28 days,hence the reason for call-
ing the special meeting.“With a new tax, there is
a requirement that notifi-cation publication require-ments must be met, andwe contacted the assessor’soffice prior to adoptingmillages at our May meet-ing,” Carnahan said. “Atthat time, we were thinkingof the library tax as arenewal and not a new tax.But since it was the begin-ning of the new 10-yearperiod, it is considered anew tax.
“This isn’t something
the voters haven’t alreadyvoted on,” Carnahan con-tinued.
Beverly Hammett,library director, says theold tax expired Dec. 31,2014, and the new one,passed in May 2014, wentinto effect this year.
“The taxing periodexpired Dec. 31, 2014, butwe don’t get that moneyuntil 2015,” she said. “Youdon’t get that money untilthe following year. Theystart collecting aboutNovember, and you might
get a little bit in December,but you get the majority ofit (the fol-lowing year)b e c a u s ethey haveuntil Dec. 31to pay it.Then we getthe majorityof it in Janu-ary, Febru-ary andMarch of the followingyear.”
The library tax is set at12 mills and expires in
2024. The tax passed inMay 2014 supports thelibrary’s operating expens-es as well as those of theother branches throughoutthe parish.
The tax supports notonly the main branch inMinden, but also the onesin Springhill, Sarepta, Cot-ton Valley, Sibley, Heflinand Doyline.
The library millage willbe adopted at the August 4meeting of the WebsterParish Police Jury.

She says there are someissues with the current
polling place, the PleasantValley Community House,and some have com-plained the drive to thechurch would be too far.
“Pleasant Valley Com-munity House is in reallybad shape,” she said.“There’s always plumbingissues, water issues. Wereally are looking for some-thing else.”

Recently following about of intestinal flu Idecided to make Strawber-ry Jello and put bananas init. I thought back to mychildhood and remem-bered that we thought thatJello with bananas wasabout the most "scrump-tious" dessert you couldimagine. Infact any-thing madewith Jellowas good.And then Ir e m e m -bered them a n ydesserts thatI have madedown through these seven-ty years that I have beencooking and realized howsimple that first dessertreally was. I have told youabout the Jello salad thatour Home Ec Class madewhen we served the SchoolBoard. It was Lime Jellowith a topping of whippedcream and grated pecanson top.
`çãéäáÅ~íÉÇ=cççÇ
All this just reminds mehow complicated our liveshave become. What wassimple and yet was deli-cious does not seem ade-quate in this complex age.Food is just one of themany things that hasundergone such a radicalchange. I remember thatice cream came in Vanilla,Chocolate and Strawberry.And I preferred the Vanilla.Now the supermarketfreezers are crammed withall those flavors and a myr-iad of others. And there issherbert in just a rainbowof colors.
`ÜçáÅÉëI=ÅÜçáÅÉëI=ÅÜçáÅJÉëK
Life was simple in mychildhood. We had softdrinks (if we could affordeven one) and mostly thatconsisted of Coke, andNehi drinks in several fla-vors. Near our home inShreveport was a bottlingcompany that bottledGrapette drinks.
sÉÖÉí~ÄäÉ=t~ÖçåëMy mother would go
out to the vegetable wag-ons that came through ourneighborhood, and buybananas by the dishpanfull, which cost about adime. These wagons wouldhave all the vegetables thatwere in season at a very
cheap price. Perhaps theturnip greens would be anickel a bunch, and thebunches were three timesthe size of a bunch ofgreens today. One bunchwould feed a family. Wewould have so manybananas that she wouldslice a banana in a smallbowl, add a little sugar andcover this with milk, and Iate that like cereal with aspoon.
There were no corn-bread mixes. Mother madecornbread with meal, bak-ing powder or soda, saltand milk (either buttermilkor sweet milk.) The samewas true of cake mixes.There were one or twotried and true cake recipesthat Mother always used.She baked all her cakes inlayers. There was no 9 x 13pan in my childhood.Often between the layersshe would put Apple Jelly,and then top the cake withSeven Minute Frosting.Always at Christmas shewould grate a freshcoconut and makecoconut icing for herChristmas cake. ThatCoconut cake was a Christ-mas tradition at our homeeven down through the six-ties, or as long as my moth-er was up and about any at
all.fåëí~åí=cççÇI loved her mashed
potatoes that she made byboiling the Irish potatoes,adding butter, milk, andsalt. When my little daugh-ter was small my mothertried the instant mashedpotatoes that came in abox. She was not toopleased with the result butshe did use that.
However, the cakemixes she spurned.
Now I keep a greatassortment of cake mixesand have several innova-tive ways to use them in aspecial cake. I occasionallymake a cake from scratch,and it is a rare occasion.
Of course our vegeta-bles were either fresh orcanned in either jars athome or cans from thestore. The day of freezershad not arrived. Today Idepend on my frozen veg-etables during the wintermonths to add a fresh tasteto meals. During the sum-mer months I put PurpleHull Peas, Okra and occa-sionally tomatoes in myfreezer for the followingwinter. The same is true ofstrawberries, peaches andblueberries.
`ççâÄççâë=~åÇ=jÉåìëI have a bookcase that is
six feet tall, and aboutthree feet wide. It is filledwith cookbooks that myson has given me. Heknows that I love to try newrecipes so he has providedthe books that I can use.
Now that my health is sobad, I just stick to the oldfavorites instead of tryinganything new. I am doinggood to get anythingcooked now.
Also remember ourmenus during the thirties.If we had dried beans andbread we were satisfied.There was no salad andoften no dessert, and cer-tainly meat at the mealswas far between. My moth-er would take sweet pota-toes and do so many thingswith them. She candiedthem, baked them, gratedthem for a pudding, shemade potato bread (similarto syrup cake), she friedthem like french fries butsprinkled sugar over thefinished product. Theyadded so much to a meal,and they were so inexpen-sive. Those meals weresimple, but in memory Ithink of how delicious Ithought they were. To walkhome for lunch on a coldwinter's day and smell thearoma of the sweet pota-toes or the spiced up dried
beans made the walkworthwhile.
qç=~=j~åÛë=eÉ~êíMama said the way to a
man's heart was throughhis stomach. My husbandthought that my motherwas the best cook (evenbetter than his own moth-er.) I learned my love ofcooking from her since sheloved people with hercooking. There is nothingso rewarding than to havefriends come in for cakeand coffee, and as the songsays "Let us break breadtogether." The gift of hos-pitality, and the love for"company" is just anotherthing that I am grateful mymother gave me.
Now when I serve thatJello and bananas today Iwill once again be that lit-tle girl of about eight, inShreveport, and I willremember Mama and thelove we shared. Do youhave special memories,too?

For a group of 12 tennisplaying ladies, the hard workand dedication finally paidoff as they achieved the goalthey’ve been workingtowards for two years.
This team, comprisedmostly of Minden women,captured the multi-state titleof Southern SectionalChampions in the 5.5 ComboDivision in Mobile, Alabama.The tournament featuredteams from across the south-ern states with competitorsfrom South Carolina, NorthCarolina, Mississippi,Kentucky, Alabama,Tennessee and Arkansas.
The Minden team, calledBlabalots, began playing ten-nis together in October of2010 under the instruction ofCoach Hau Nguyen.
Their captain, AmandaGulley, said that during thosebeginning years Coach Hautold us, “Stick together, sup-
port each other and workcooperatively as a team andtogether you will win cham-pionships.”
However, this is not thefirst title for the Blabalots.Their first title came in 2012as a 5.0 combo team. Aftertheir win in 2012, they settheir sights on a 5.5 combowin.
With higher ratings, nowthe team needed to add moreplayers. Presently, thisdiverse team is made up oftherapists, educators, medicalprofessionals, bookkeepers,technology specialists andeven multiple sets of sisterswith a common love for ten-nis, a desire to be competitiveand an appreciation for thefriendships that have beenformed through the sport.
The group would like tothank Hau Nguyen for intro-ducing them to tennis, forteaching them so patiently,for infecting them with thelove of the sport and for con-tinuing to believe in them.

Kentucky ready forhistoric draft night

NASCAR won’t banConfederate flags
LEXINGTON, Ky.(AP) — John Calipari andhis Kentucky pipeline tothe NBA will have yetanother major impact onthe league's annual draft.
It's nothing new, butThursday night could berecord-setting — even forthe Wildcats.
Calipari's firstKentucky team in 2010featured five first-roundNBA draft picks, includingNo. 1 overall selectionJohn Wall. Six Wildcatsturned pro after their 2012NCAA championship, withAnthony Davis andMichael Kidd-Gilchristgoing 1-2 in a parade offour first-rounders.
All told, Calipari hasgroomed 15 first-roundchoices among 19 players.
A school-record sevenKentucky players from lastyear's 38-1 Final Four teamcould hear their namescalled at the BarclaysCenter in Brooklyn, NewYork, with Karl-AnthonyTowns possibly becomingCalipari's third No. 1 over-all selection in six years.Seven-footer WillieCauley-Stein, 6-10 TreyLyles and 6-6 shootingguard Devin Booker havealso been invited to thegreen room and could belottery selections.
Seven-footer DakariJohnson and 6-6 twinguards Andrew and AaronHarrison are also expectedto be drafted, positioningthe Wildcats to have 26picks in Calipari's six sea-sons, enough to stock near-ly two NBA rosters alone.
That is nearly doubleany other school duringthat six-year span.
Confederate flags areas easy to find atNASCAR races as cutoffjeans, cowboy hats andbeer.
They fly overmotorhomes. They adornclothing. They are regu-lar fixtures, just like Fordand Chevrolet, and that isunlikely to change anytime soon.
NASCAR probablywould like to see them goaway.
The sanctioning bodyfor the motorsports seriesbacked South CarolinaGov. Nikki Haley's call toremove the Confederateflag from the Statehousegrounds in the wake ofthe Charleston churchmassacre. NASCARissued its statementTuesday, the same daySouth Carolina lawmak-ers agreed to discussremoving the flag andone day after Haley said"the time has come" totake it down. And that isas far as NASCARappears willing to go fornow.
"As our industryworks collectively toensure that all fans arewelcome at our races,NASCAR will continueour long-standing policyto disallow the use of theConfederate flag symbolin any official NASCARcapacity," NASCAR said."While NASCAR recog-nizes that freedom ofexpression is an inherentright of all citizens, wewill continue to strive foran inclusive environmentat our events."
Virginia wins to force decisive game three
T E N N I S
Bla ba lots ta ke title
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) --Big performances from acouple of unlikelysources and anothershutdown relief perfor-mance from an old reli-able allowed Virginia toforce a winner-take-allgame in the CollegeWorld Series.
Surprise starter AdamHaseley and Josh Sborzcombined on theshutout, senior utilityman Thomas Woodruff
drove in two runs, andthe Cavaliers defeatedVanderbilt 3-0 onTuesday night.
For the second year ina row, these twoteams will go thedistance in theb e s t - o f - t h r e efinals. Vanderbilt(51-20) will beplaying for a sec-ond straightnational title onW e d n e s d a y .Virginia (43-24)will be lookingfor its first.
"Adam Haseley roseto the occasion on themound and just gave us ahigh-quality start,' 'Cavaliers coach BrianO'Connor said. "Josh
Sborz did what he's beendoing this entire tourna-ment, grinding out theback half of the game.And this guy here
(Woodruff), Idon't know whenthe last time hestarted a game,but certainly heput some greatswings on thebaseball andplayed somegreat right field.Just a total teameffort."
W o o d r u f fstarted for the first timesince May 19 becauseJoe McCarthy had tomove to center to takethe usual spot ofHaseley, who was on the
mound for the first timesince May 23.
O'Connor called onthe freshman becausehe's short of startingpitching depth, and hehad to hold backBrandon Waddell for apossible Game 3, whichnow will happen.
Haseley worked intothe sixth inning for hislongest outing andturned over a scorelessgame to Sborz (7-2).Haseley gave up foursingles, walked threeand struck out one dur-ing his 71-pitch outing.
"I think it was a dif-ferent kind of nervesthan a regular gamewhen I'm playing in thefield,'' Haseley said.
"Playing some gameshere before in the field,being out there and hav-ing playing time, didhelp.''
Sborz, who picked uphis third career win inthe CWS, hasn't allowedan earned run in 27 con-secutive innings. He wastested Tuesday, withVanderbilt getting itsleadoff batter on base inthe fifth, sixth, seventhand ninth innings.
The ninth was espe-cially tense for Sborzafter Bryan Reynoldssingled and Will Toffeywalked. But Sborzstruck out Jeren Kendall,got Karl Ellison to flyout and struck out NolanRogers to end the game.

Jairus Byrd hoping for a bounce back season
NEW ORLEANS (AP)- There are many reasonsJairus Byrd doesn’t want totalk about last season.
It was disappointing.His team finished 7-9. Hewas injured and onlyappeared in a handful ofgames. And in those hand-ful of games, which consti-tuted his first season withthe Saints, the safety didnot perform up to the stan-dard he set for himself dur-ing five seasons in Buffalo.
So, as Byrd fieldedquestions for the first timesince last season after aminicamp practice lastweek, his answers werewhat you’d expect. Lastyear is over. Both he andthe team need to performbetter. He feels good and iseager to start a new season.
The routine was brokenup when he was asked if hestill believes he’s a ProBowl player and if achiev-ing that status is one of his
goals for the upcomingseason.
Byrd wouldn’t bite.“No,” he said, pausing a
beat. “No.”It wasn’t long ago Byrd
was being hailed as one ofthe best free-agent sign-ings in franchise historyafter inking a six-year, $54million deal with theSaints. Now, a year later,he was indirectly beingasked to defend his cre-dentials.
While the three-timePro Bowl safety wasn’twilling to talk about lastseason, in an interviewwith ESPN earlier thisyear, Byrd admitted thathe never felt right duringhis inaugural season withthe Saints and that lastseason wasn’t up to par.
There was the backsurgery that sidelined himfor most of the offseasonand robbed him of theability to build chemistrywith his teammates. Then,once he got back on thefield, he tore the meniscusin his knee during practiceand missed the final 12weeks of the season.
And even when he wason the field, it was evidenthe was still trying to fig-ure things out as he strug-
gled through the firstmonth of the season.
“I don’t think it was upto the standard with any-thing that we were tryingto do,” Byrd said. “Butlike I said, this is a newyear, and (we’re) movingforward.”
The Saints are confidentthat Byrd will bounceback. Several membersbelieve they built a level ofchemistry they did notachieve during last year’soffseason program and thatthings feel more naturalthis year.
Communication hasimproved and the timingfeels better. Players arelearning one another’s ten-dencies and gaining a bet-ter understanding of howto play off one another. Allof those things should helpthis much-maligned groupimprove on last year’sresults.
“The more reps youtake, the more communi-cation picks up,” Byrdsaid. “You’re being morevocal, guys are givingmore feedback back toyou, what they like, wherethey’re getting the calls.”
On an individual level,defensive coach DennisAllen, who has been
working closely with thesafeties, believes there area handful of things Byrdcan do to improve as aplayer.
Upon taking the jobearlier this year, Allenwent into the film roomand studied his new groupof players. He identified ahandful of things thatcould help Byrd, who isknown to be on of theNFL’s better ball hawks,become even more fear-some.
He believes Byrd coulddo a better job of readingquarterbacks and gain abetter understanding ofroute combinations. Andafter missing seven tack-les in four games last sea-son, Byrd received someadvice from Allen on howto improve in that regard.
“This guy has been aheck of a football playerin the National FootballLeague,” Allen said. “Idon’t expect anything lessthan that.”
