Jennings police continue to follow up on leads and process evidence in Thursday’s homicide of a South Main Street resident. Fifty-year-old Kenneth Morrow Sr. of Jennings was found shot to death outside of his home around 8:30 p.m. Thursday evening, sparking a murder investigation that Jennings Police Department (JPD) Deputy Chief Danny Semmes said is the department’s top priority over the week-

end. Morrow was found dead in the yard of

his residence located on the 1200 block of South Main Street. A family member of the victim found his body and immediately called police.

“We have identified a person of interest and we are following up on more leads at this time,” Semmes said on Saturday. “We will continue to follow leads as they come in and we are processing evidence as we speak.”

The Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office

is currently performing an autopsy on the victim, he added, although those results are not yet available.

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office’s Forensic Unit is assisting in the investiga-tion of the homicide.

Semmes said that anyone with possible information regarding this case is strongly encouraged to contact the police depart-ment’s anonymous tips line at (337) 275-9002.

While no motive has been released in Thursday’s murder, Semmes said the

shooting is not related to a New Year’s Eve shooting homicide on Racca Road. Two suspects are already in custody in that case, as Kegan Reon, 21, and Patrick Batiste, 22, both of Jennings, face second-degree mur-der and accessory after the fact to second-degree murder charges, respectively, in the murder of Ruston Reed, 21, of Jeff Davis Academy Road in Jennings. Reed was found in the middle of Racca Road after suffering from a single gunshot wound.

Semmes said the investigation into that homicide continues, as well.

Hathaway resident Jacob Authement filed a complaint with the Jeff Davis Sheriff’s Office (JDSO), claiming that a local deputy shot and killed his dog Thursday.

“Me and my uncle were in our back yard when we saw the cop pull up in our drive-way,” Authement said, “so we started walking over there, and I heard him yell something, but I couldn’t tell what it was because it was so windy.” Authement claimed he was about 30 feet away from the deputy when his dog, a pit bull, Coco, ran up to see who was at their house.

“My dog was just checking things out – like dogs do – and the cop started backing up. He didn’t jump in his vehicle or anything though,” Authement said. “Then he pulled out his gun and shot the dog in the mouth. I guess the cop was scared because the dog was a pit bull, but it was a friendly dog – slept in my house for three years.”

JDSO Criminal Investigations Division Commander Chris Ivey said Friday after-noon, “Our deputy said he ordered the dog

As of 2013, about one in 88 children was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This year, Hathaway High’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) hopes to educate the public on just what ASD is, according to club sponsor and teacher Paula Kershaw.

The club is sponsoring the Light It Up Blue 5K on Saturday, March 15, at Founder’s Park in Jennings. The race is meant to promote Autism Speaks, an advocacy organization that sponsors research and conducts awareness and outreach activities geared toward families, governments and the public.

“We have students with autism char-acteristics that attend our school, so it is personal to us to support Autism Speaks,” Kershaw said.

According to Autism Speaks’ offi-cial website, ASD is a term for a

group of complex disorders of brain development. Children with

ASD show signs of difficul-ties in social interaction,

verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. Most signs of autism

appear by the time a child is two or three years old.

“We always have one organiza-tion that the club supports,” Kershaw explained. “Currently it is No Kid

Hungry. But we also get to choose from three or four other organizations each year and this year we chose Autism Speaks.”

Because Hathaway FCCLA members assist a different group each year, Kershaw said she is unsure if the March race will become an annual event. However, that has not stopped her and her students from aiming for a great race.

“If we can get 300-400 participants to register, we would be excited!” she said.

Participants can register for Light It Up Blue for $15 if they pay, or their mailed payment is post-marked, by Feb. 28. The fee includes a t-shirt, bag and race bib. Late registration is $20. Registration forms are available at Anytime Fitness, Crossfit Jennings Unlimited, Hathaway High School and

Lake Arthur Elementary students took to the polls Thursday afternoon to cast their votes in the Loui-siana Young Reader’s Choice Awards (LYRC). A program run by the state library in correlation with the parish library, the Registrar of Voters and the Secretary of State’s Office, the LYRC promotes reading in local schools while also teaching the importance of voting. Educators and librarians each year recommend books to young readers, and the kids later vote on their favorites. Schools across Jeff Davis Parish participated in this year’s vote.

Jeff Davis Sheriff Ivy Woods said the deputy was in the area responding to a complaint of four-wheelers being on the roadway. He said the deputy felt justified shooting the animal because he felt threat-ened. The deputy will continue working while the complaint is further examined.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Baton Rouge police are warning residents, especially women who live alone, to be vigilant after four home inva-sions in one week.

Baton Rouge police have enlisted police dogs, night-time helicopter surveillance and more street patrol offi-cers to help catch the man or men responsible.

Police Chief Carl Dabadie says the first two reported break-ins happened Jan. 12. The third took place Jan. 14 and the fourth happened Friday around 2 a.m.

Police have not released the exact locations of the home invasions in an effort to protect the victims. Police said three of the victims are women in their 70s, the other is a 34-year-old woman.

In three of the cases, the intruder groped the victims before leaving.

In one case, a 70-year-old woman awoke in the middle of the night to find a man dressed in black crouching near her bed. She tried to run, but he grabbed her, groped her and attempted to rob her before fleeing her home.

Dabadie issued a succinct warning to women across the

parish, especially those living alone: “Don’t trust anybody. Only trust the people that you know.”

The intruder, who at this point could be one man or several different men, entered the homes through an unlocked window or door in at least three of the break-ins.

“There is a pattern,” said Cpl. L’Jean McKneely, a Baton Rouge police spokes-man.

The sexual batteries did not progress to rape in any of the cases, and none of the women have reported seeing any type of weapon during the home invasions, McKneely said.

Dabadie said Friday that residents should not be afraid, but they should be alarmed. Everyone, especially elderly women or women who live alone, should take safety pre-cautions, not just at home but also while out running errands.

Lock doors and windows, alert police to anything sus-picious and watch out for friends and neighbors, police warned.

“We’re relying on the community,” McKneely said.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Texas lawyer being sued by oil giant BP over allegations that he falsely claimed to represent thou-sands of deckhands who lost money in the 2010 Gulf oil spill has asked a federal court to delay the lawsuit while a criminal investiga-tion plays out.

Friday’s filing on behalf of Mikal Watts says fed-eral officials have seized and copied material from Watts’ law firm regard-ing oil spill claims. Watts’ attorney, Robert McDuff, says in the filing that there is a “real, appreciable and non-speculative prospect” for an indictment of people involved with the case in the federal Southern District of Mississippi. He said he expects to know whether there will be an indictment within two months.

McDuff said that if the BP suit continues while the criminal investigation is underway, he would advise Watts not to testify in depo-sitions regarding the lawsuit.

Watts was appointed to serve on a team of attorneys who negotiated a multibil-lion-dollar settlement with

BP in 2012 to compensate businesses, residents and fishermen affected by the spill. He resigned from the committee last year amid the federal investigation.

In a statement released late Friday, BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said that Watts’ pos-sible refusal to answer ques-tions in a deposition about “whether he committed a fraud on BP and the Court in connection with seafood claims and their settlement ... is stunning.”

The statement added that, “Until the full scope of Mr. Watts’ fraud is understood, the Court should stay further payments of Seafood Fund monies.”

BP PLC’s December lawsuit alleges that many of the Social Security numbers on Watts’ client list were phony.

McDuff has strongly denied that Watts engaged in fraud or identity theft.

“Contrary to the allega-tions, Mr. Watts did not com-mit identity theft or fraud,” McDuff said in a statement earlier this month. “He is a lawyer who has spent his life representing the victims of corporate wrongdoing.”

Texas lawyer seeks hold on BP spill suit

PLAIN DEALING (AP) — An empty lot in Plain Dealing illustrates the prob-lems and potential future of the north Bossier town and little hamlets like it.

The lot is a 49-acre industrial park totally void of activity on which only one business — a now-shuttered garment factory — has ever operated. Try as town officials might, they cannot land new busi-ness there because of topo-graphical and accessibility issues.

But there’s opportu-nity in Plain Dealing as Interstate 49 inches toward completion. If the indus-trial park can be moved to a new location, one of Bossier’s quietest towns might capitalize on big rig traffic and attract new industry which may halt the exodus shrinking that town.

“This town does well financially. I’m not say-ing we’re rich, but we do well here. We’re able to sustain ourselves,” said Plain Dealing Mayor Wiley Robinson. “But economic growth and jobs would set this little town on the map again.”

Robinson, the town council and Greater Bossier Economic Development Foundation President Rocky Rockett are tack-ling the issue of the indus-trial park, though they see no benefit to moving so quickly they miss the real opportunity.

The challenges are many.

The park is set north of the Plain Dealing’s little

I-49 might bring industry to Plain Dealingdowntown. Its acreage is comprised of fenced-in hills, a 17-acre lake and the three acres covered by the garment factory. There’s no rail access and the wind-ing roads have kept away those businesses that need big rigs.

Efforts to fill the park have failed. A tractor trailer manufacturer pulled out of negotiations several years ago because of the winding roads. A small manufac-turer of food items wasn’t satisfied with the available labor pool.

“It doesn’t lend itself to that light industrial, qua-si-heavy industrial use,” Rockett said. “You try to stem that exodus of the younger community from a community like Plain Dealing or any small com-munity. So you have to have those opportunities. The first investment is always the biggest, because after that people find it eas-ier to make the next invest-ment.”

If a new plot of land on Louisiana Highway 2 or Louisiana Highway 3 can be purchased and correct-ly zoned, marketing Plain Dealing would be simpler, Rockett and Robinson said. Plain Dealing is within 10 miles of the future I-49 corridor, an eventual flood zone of commerce and logistics which will need and develop many ports of call.

But capitalizing on that will take time, research, money and will.

Little town issuesJust more than 1,000 people lived in Plain Dealing

when the U.S. Census Bureau took account of the town in 2010. The median age of Plain Dealing resi-dents is 45 years old, but only 21 percent of its 409 households had children under the age of 18.

The saw mills and farms that once made Plain Dealing a booming little town are all gone, said lifelong resident and Police Jury representative Sonny Cook. Now there’s nowhere for people to work and nothing for them to do.

“It’s not like that no more. Everybody left for better jobs,” Cook said. “The young people are leaving and we have to start somewhere to get business and jobs in Plain Dealing.”

If there’s a place for them to work, they’ll also need a place to play, Cook said. Bossier City and Benton far outpace Plain Dealing in terms of parks and recreation.

For that, Robinson said they’re looking back to the industrial park.

“This is very prelimi-nary, but we’ve talked about maybe putting in a process where the Police Jury along with the town

would try to make it a parks and recreation area. Maybe a ball field or two, walking tracks for the adults, paving and a lighted-type complex, maybe have a flea market up there in the future with a pavilion of some sort,” Robinson said. “Anything we can do for the improve-ment of the town. It looks like industrial-wise we’re just at a roadblock.”

There’s no money right now for that kind of construction, Cook and Robinson said, but both added any success story starts with a good idea.

Add a few light indus-trial facilities at a new industrial park, a beefed-up labor pool, residents moving in and staying put, the bleed-over dollars for existing and new store-fronts and the taxes that go along with all that and the future could include a thriving Plain Dealing.

“Plain Dealing is a pro-business community, a smart community. They’re a willing community. They think ahead. They plan ahead,” Rockett said. “In my opinion, they’re sitting in the catbird seat with possibilities when I-49 completes and opens.”

Lucille Viator TealFuneral services will be

She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

M I N N E A P O L I S (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings’ Metrodome has deflated for the last time.

Officials from the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority opened the sta-dium’s relief vents to begin

the deflation at 7:15 a.m. Saturday in downtown Minneapolis. Fans provid-ing the air that supports the

Vikings’ Metrodome deflates for last timeroof were turned off. The 10 acres of Teflon-coated fabric were done deflating in 35 minutes.

Bill McCarthy, vice chairman of the authority, called it “a sad and exciting day at the same time.” The deflation and the demoli-tion of the Dome begin-ning next week will make way for construction of a new $1 billion Vikings sta-dium.

The muffin-shaped dome opened in 1982 and was once a focal point of Minnesota professional sports. In addition to being the home field for the Vikings and the Twins — who won two World Series there — the Timberwolves played their first NBA season in the Metrodome in 1989. The Twins left in 2009 for Target Field, leaving only the Vikings as the Metrodome’s major tenant.

The authority gave the go-ahead despite concerns about weather conditions. According to the National Weather Service, between 4 and 5 inches of snow fell in the area overnight. Winds were a steady 5 to 10 mph Saturday morning.

The roof silently deflat-ed under gray, snowy

skies, sagging first in the middle. When the process was done, the stadium looked like a concave dish, rimmed with snow.

The morning snow was both a help and a safety concern, said Steve Maki, the authority’s director of facilities and engineering. “We moved it up to do it as soon as we were ready,” he said, noting officials were concerned that if the winds increased, the deflation would have been delayed.

Officials were worried that stiff winds could have turned the roof into “a big sail,” Maki said.

While Saturday was the fifth time the Dome’s roof has collapsed, it was the first time it was deflated intentionally. On four prior occasions, the roof collapsed due to extreme weather conditions, includ-ing the Dec. 11, 2010, inci-dent where excessive snow caused the roof to cave in.

Crews will begin demol-ishing the rest of the build-ing Monday. The new stadium is expected to be ready in time for the 2016

NFL season and will be located in roughly the same spot as the Metrodome. The team plans to play at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

St. Paul-based excavator Frattalone Companies will recycle the Dome’s roof fabric, cutting it up to be used in future construction projects. The entire roof deflated without the fabric ripping, Maki said.

Already the turf and most of the bright-blue seats have been removed, leaving a kind of concrete shell inside the stadium.

Few people were out and about in the early morn-ing hours, and those who were walking by the Dome didn’t notice the deflation occurring.

“Really? That’s crazy,” said Jon Silveira, a Minneapolis resident who was going to work as the roof silently sunk. “I didn’t notice it.”

When asked if he was sad to see the Dome go, he replied, “No, but I’d rather not pay for the new one.”

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s child welfare agency missed possible signs that a 4-year-old boy who died after being tor-tured was at risk, including the fact his father did a stint in jail after being awarded custody of his son, officials said Friday in announcing the results of an official review of the case.

The findings stopped short of faulting indi-vidual case workers overseeing the care of Myls Dobson, but they prompted Mayor Bill de Blasio to announce a list of reforms for the Administration for Children’s Services.

“We lost a child in a horrible manner. ... We want to learn from this tragedy and make changes as a result,” De Blasio said at a City Hall news conference.

Dobson died this month after his father was jailed again and left him in the care of his girlfriend. She was charged with assault after allegedly telling investigators she had starved him for several days and also bound, beaten and burned him.

The review looked at interactions between Dobson’s family and ACS between January 2011, when it received an allegation of abuse, and last August when it closed the case.

Among the finding was that case workers missed the fact that the father, an ex-con and parolee named Okee Wade, was in jail from

September 2012 to February 2013 despite vis-iting his home nine times during that period. Wade’s girlfriend at the time — not the one in charged in the death — told them he was at work, officials said.

Though not a requirement, the ACS con-siders it a “good practice” to see the primary custodian in person, said Gladys Carrion, the head of ACS. But she also stressed that Myls always appeared safe and healthy before the supervision ended.

De Blasio said he was ordering a review of all cases that include court-ordered ACS supervision. New measures include requiring custodians to appear in family court and get a judge’s approval before supervision ends, and expanding ACS’s access law enforcement data bases to assess whether caregivers are reliable or not.

The last major investigation into the child welfare agency came in 2011, after 4-year-old Marchella Pierce was found drugged, beaten and starved in her home. A report, issued by a panel that included de Blasio in his role as public advocate, recommended changes to how the agency handled families with com-plex medical issues.

The agency also said it was strengthening oversight of supervisors and manager training.

Louisiana State Police joined the nation and acknowledged National AMBER Alert Awareness Day on Jan. 13, which the U.S. Department of Justice declared to increase awareness of the AMBER Alert program and encourage public engagement in the safe recovery of abducted children.

The AMBER Alert program was named after the late Amber Hagerman. On Jan. 13, 1996, the nine-year-old little girl was abducted from a Dallas, Texas, area neighborhood and murdered. Following Amber’s tragedy, a concerned citizen’s idea evolved into the first AMBER Alert plan, which served as a model nation-wide for alerting the public about abducted children.

The Louisiana AMBER Alert plan became operational in 2002 and is man-aged by the Louisiana State Police as a statewide, cohesive effort between law enforcement and broadcasters. Their goal is to safely locate an abducted child within the critical two-to-three hour time period following an abduction.

The plan is not designed for custodial conflicts.

While AMBER Alert is a national effort, there is not one unified plan among all 50 states. Some states have statewide plans, while other states may have plans on a regional or metropolitan level and each plan operates independently of one another. In fact, there are over 100 plans in the country and many are not interoperable.

The Louisiana AMBER Alert plan is one statewide plan, which can act in con-junction with other plans if so requested.

Since the inception of the Louisiana AMBER Alert plan through the end of 2013, there have been 10 activations for Louisiana children and two for out-of-state activation requests. In all 12 cases, the children were safely located.

A total of 679 children have been suc-cessfully recovered in the United States because of the AMBER Alert system.

Activation of a Louisiana AMBER Alert involves utilizing a number of resourc-es, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which provides notification to the public through wireless carriers, content pro-viders and major retailers.

Recently, NCMEC announced the launch of an AMBER Alert Twitter account, as well. Using the handle @AMBERAlert, the new account will help abducted children alerts reach the approximately 49 million monthly Twitter users in the United States. Twitter users, who follow the @AMBERAlert handle, will automati-cally receive all AMBER Alerts in their Twitter feed.

Louisiana State Police Superintendent Colonel Mike Edmonson explained that each year, an average of 100-150 chil-dren are victims of abduction in this country and it’s critical that law enforce-ment, media, and the public work together in an urgent effort to effec-tively and efficiently locate an abducted child immediately following a verified abduction. “Saving that child’s life is the number one priority and to apprehend the abductor becomes our next priority,” Edmonson said.

If your child goes missing, parents/guardians are encouraged to immedi-ately call a local law enforcement agen-cy; be able to provide law enforcement with your child’s name, date of birth, height, weight and descriptions of any other unique identifiers such as eye-glasses and braces; and be able to tell police when you noticed your child was missing and what clothing he or she was wearing.

Also, be prepared to provide a recent photo of your child and any informa-tion that could help identify your child or abductor, such as vehicle and license plate information.

The Word Transcendence and its Place in World Government

One definition of the word transcendence is “The state of excelling, surpassing, or going beyond usual limits”. In human behavior we think of transcen-dence as progressing from the infant state where the infant thinks only of its individual needs, and demands immediate attention from parents for feed-ing, and other necessities. The infant’s world is Parents and self, and primarily self! With the passage of time that infant becomes aware of siblings, other people, and eventually school-mates, teachers, community, and perhaps knowledge and inter-est in state and national govern-ment. If that progression main-tains a feeling of benefit for all involved along with self, that is “Transcendental”. If, on the other hand, that expansion of self and knowledge is used only to benefit the individual with disregard for the effect on others that becomes “Narcissism”, and greed!

I have used the words “fine line principle” in other writings, to describe how close together circumstances can be, one that produces good, another that pro-duces evil, and how difficult it may be to become well enough informed to choose between the two.

Our local, state, national, international, and world govern-ments have now reached a criti-cal fine line point where citizens need to become informed, and involved in the “Transcendental” approach.

A movement was started in the early 1900s to socialize America! There isn’t enough room on our local paper to

elaborate here, but I am will-ing to elaborate and debate with anyone interested, give me a call! Our University professors, through our public education system, and specifically direct-ed scholarships, are predomi-nantly leaning in that direction and try desperately to have your children graduate from college with that same attitude. This atti-tude that Government, if given total authority, and enough tax money, can and will take care of all citizens’ needs has failed whenever and wherever tried, but it is being pushed hard here and now by politicians as a vote buying scheme to keep them in office. It also sounds good to many people, who have by now been conditioned to liv-ing fairly well on other peoples’ money; no worry about prepar-ing themselves for life, others will provide!

Now, we must talk “Capitalism”, the system, which along with a democratic republic government, made America a country envied by every other nation and their citizens around the world. Why is our wonder-ful system failing? Why can-not our leaders in Washington lead this great nation, presented to them by forefathers, who apparently understood what Transcendental means? The answer is that fine line! We now have not just Capitalism, we have Rapacious Capitalism; Narcissistic and greedy business leaders and politicians who are thinking of themselves, as does that little baby, demanding that their needs be met, but with total disregard to what effect it is hav-ing on others!

Can business leaders, and all other high earners, ever learn

that no one needs $100,000,000 bonuses to live comfortably, and that many of their employees down the food chain line, could well use a minimal bonus or increase in salary? The right to earn millions is the American Capitalistic way; sharing it would be voluntary, and “Transcendental”.

Can politicians quit buying votes with give- away programs that are creating a dependant nation; creating a far different society that those who came over from other countries to enjoy our freedom from their government oppression? Can they break away from the atti-tude that they are superior to the people who sent them to Washington, and can arrange deals with Lobbyists, or Unions, for their benefit with disregard to the outcome for the general pub-lic? Can we the voters regain the status of being the ones who tell the politician how to carry out our wishes, and do what is good for community and country, not individuals or politicians? Can we ever again get a truthful, yes or no answer, from a politi-cian instead of waiting for that politician to decide whether or not his answer might be politi-cally correct? That will depend on us! Yes, we have to become informed, and get involved with our world, if we want our world managed in a way that can be considered “Transcendental”.

J B Hargroder MDJennings

Dear Editor,The SCOTUS deciding to

hear the case regarding recess appointments is very welcome.

But it is NOT nearly enough. There is a much bigger

issue in play here, and one that demands resolution by the court. That issue is the Separation of Powers so (seemingly) clearly defined in our Constitution.

Congress is constitutionally designated as the only govern-ment entity that can legally cre-ate new law.

Yet we see an Executive Branch today that has assumed the power to create law by executive fiat while bypassing Congress; indeed thumbing their nose at congressional authority. This disease, the lust for power, has even affected our courts who often decide to create new law by judicial fiat (Row v. Wade comes to mind although there are many others in lower courts)!

If we do not restore the authority of our Constitution, then there are no bounds to fed-eral government growth and tyr-anny by a branch of government simply exercising powers they do not legally have.

There needs to be a review and clear definition of constitu-tional separation of powers that prevents any future violation of those principles. I’m not certain the existing SCOTUS is even capable of making a wise deci-sion, but one can always hope!

I have asked my legislators several times before to file a federal lawsuit demanding that review, which is something that I believe all Americans includ-ing the media should support. This is not a partisan issue. It is needed to define the future of our Constitution and our rule of law.

Are we still a “nation of laws, not of men” or not?

Sincerely,Wayne PeterkinEvangeline

The visiting Iota Lady Bulldogs and the Jennings Bulldogs recorded district victories Friday in two lopsided contests.

The girls kicked off league action with the Iota Lady Bulldogs lighting the net on fire from behind the arc, with Mallory Faul and Brittany Johnson each hitting two treys and a two-pointer apiece to combine for all 16 of Iota’s first-period points. Jennings’ Reagan Edwards and Kally Breaux put up four and three points respectively in the frame during a seven-point period for Jennings.

Ahead 16-7 to start the second, Iota remained hot from three-point-land, as both Faul and Johnson were good for another pair of treys apiece, while Cambri St. Andre added four and Whitney Landry and Jillian Boone each hit for two to spread out Iota’s offensive production in a 22-point quarter. Jennings, however, went scoreless in the second to give the visiting Bulldogs a comfortable 38-7 half-

LACASSINE – The Lacassine basketball teams used the home court advantage on Friday with both taking wins over Midland. The Lacassine Cardinals held off a late rally by the Midland Rebels to win 39-37, while the Lacassine Lady Cardinals took a convincing 72-41 win over the Midland Lady Rebels.

Lacassine has a bye from District 7-B action on Tuesday night but will travel and face Avoyelles Charter in non-district play. Midland boys will travel to face Episcopal of Acadiana in District 7-B action, while the Midland girls will travel to face Vermilion Catholic.

Lacassine teams take down Midland

Welsh’s ladies had their first taste of district defeat Friday on the road against Mamou, while the Hounds used a big third quarter to distance themselves enough from their hosts for a 68-59 win.

The Lady Hounds jumped out to an early lead with Madison Hicks leading the way. Hicks scored six of Welsh’s 13 first-quarter points, but their Mamou

hosts used three treys from one hot hand to keep it close, 13-12 at the end of one peri-od.

Mamou started to inch past their visitors in the sec-ond, adding 11 more tallies in the frame while holding the Lady Hounds to eight for a 25-21 halftime lead. Welsh was four of eight from the free-throw line in the quarter and seven of 14 in the first-half from the charity stripe.

The Lady Hounds stormed back in the third period, with Gai’Jha Achane knocking

down six of Welsh’s 14 points in the frame. Karley Henderson added four, while they remained 50 per-cent from the charity stripe, connecting on four of eight. Mamou was held to 10 in the third to force a 35-35 tie heading into the final min-

utes. Free-throws made the dif-

ference in the fourth quarter, as both teams struggled from the line in the last period. Welsh hit for only two of nine from the stripe, while Mamou was four of 10. But Mamou scored enough

points in the paint to out-score their visitors 19-10 for the 54-45 win.

Welsh finished 13 of 31 from the charity stripe on the night, while Mamou was seven of 19 attempts.

The Lady Hounds were led in scoring by Achane

with 15 in the loss. Hicks assisted with 12 and Henderson added 10 in the effort.

The Lady Hounds host district undefeated Lake

Hathaway cruised to an 83-29 homecoming vic-tory over visiting ESA Friday. The Hornets put on a three-point show, as Tanner Manuel knocked down seven treys on the night for 21 points. Brett Fon-tenot led the way for Hathaway with 23, including four of his own from behind the arc. Chase Co-meaux assisted with 19. The win was Hathaway’s first in district play this season as they improved to 1-2 in league. The Hornets face Bell City as Class B action continues Tuesday.

third, with Faul knocking down her fifth trey of the ball game and adding four more tallies to round out her game-high 23 points on the night.

at Iowa. In boys’ action, it was the

Jennings Bulldogs who con-trolled the tempo from start to finish to open their district play, as the home-standing Dogs put up 23 points in the opening minutes while holding their visitors to just one trey in the frame. Draylan Perkins hit from behind the arc three times in the first frame, scoring 13 of Jennings’ 23 points in the period for a lead they never relinquished.

Perkins added another trey in the second, as well as four more inside the arc, to score seven of Jennings’ eight points in the second period, as well. Perkins scored 20 of the Dogs’ 31 first-half points, while Jennings’ defense held Iota to 10 tallies in the second frame for a 31-13 halftime lead.

Even though Iota found more offense in the third period with 12 more points, their defense had no answer for Perkins, who knocked down two more of his six total treys on the night and put up 14 of Jennings’ 20 third-quarter points to keep a comfortable advantage.

Jennings again outscored their opponents 14-9 in the final frame for the 65-31 win. Perkins led all scorers with 34 points on the night. He was assisted by Jared Perkins with eight.

Steven Cooper led the way for Iota with 12 tallies, including three treys.

With the win, Jennings improved to 11-9 on the year and 1-0 in district with a visit to Iowa on their schedule next Tuesday. Jennings’ boys have won six of their last seven con-tests.

Chase Guillory sank two free throws with 4.2 seconds left to give Lacassine (17-9, 3-1) the victory over Midland (18-3, 2-1). Midland trailed the game throughout but tied the game at 37-37 when Devin Gautreaux scored with 12 seconds remaining.

“It was an excellent defensive effort by our team tonight and they get kept up the intensity all game,” said Lacassine Coach Casey Meador. “This was a big win against a really good team.”

The Rebels opened the game to take an early 4-0 lead in the first quarter. The Cardinals answered with a 10-1 run to take a 10-5 lead with 3:08 to play in the first quarter with four points from Dominique Clophus. The Cardinals outscored the Rebels 13-7 in the first quar-ter to take the early advan-tage.

Lacassine opened up the second quarter with the first two baskets to take a 17-7 lead with 6:48 to play. Lacassine went on a 7-3 run to take a 24-10 advantage with 3:33 to play before half-

time. Lacassine outscored Midland 14-9 in the second quarter to take a 27-16 half-time lead.

Darren Arceneaux scored the first basket of the third quarter to trail 27-18. Joshua Wykoff answered with a bas-ket for Lacassine to take back the lead to 29-18. Midland outscored Lacassine 5-0 the last five minutes of the third quarter. Midland outscored Lacassine 12-4 in the third quarter but trailed 31-28 into the fourth quarter but fell short of the game winning rally in the fourth quarter.

Guillory led the Cardinals in scoring with 12 points. Wykoff and Clophus each scored 10 points.

The Rebels were led in scoring by Arceneaux who finished with 11 points.

Lacassine 72 – Midland 41 (Girls)

Lacassine (25-1, 3-0) jumped out to an early 10-0 lead behind four points apiece from Abbie Melanson and Madyson Brasseaux with 3:57 to play. Kristen Breaux put Midland (16-12, 2-1) on the board with a

basket with 3:40 to play in the first quarter. Madyson Brasseaux scored 12 first quarter points in leading Lacassine to a 22-8 first quarter lead.

The Lady Cardinals scored the first four points of the second quarter to take a 26-8 lead. The Lady Rebels cut the Lady Cardinals lead to 31-18 with 3:20 to play before halftime. The Lady Cardinals then closed out the quarter with an 11-0 run to lead 42-18 at the halftime break.

Lacassine continued their domination in the third quar-ter. Lacassine closed out the quarter on a 14-2 run and outscored Midland 23-8 to take a 63-26 lead into the fourth quarter. Midland out-scored Lacassine 15-7 in the fourth quarter.

Brasseaux led the Lady Cardinals in scoring with 18 points. Haley Cooley added 14 points. Melanson and Lindsey Priola finished with 12 points each.

The Lady Rebels were led in scoring by Breaux who finished with 15 points.

Arthur on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the

Greyhounds improved to 2-1 in league play Friday with a district win over the Mamou hosts, 68-59.

Welsh had a tough time getting their offense going in the first half, scoring 11 in the first frame, with five points from Brandius Batiste. Mamou used home-court advantage to secure a slight 13-11 lead heading into the second frame, with just two players combining for 11 of their 13 points.

Welsh’s offense contin-ued to sputter in the second, as the Hounds mustered a dozen points in the period, including four of nine from the free-throw line. Gaivon Achane and Keylon Pitre each put up four points in the frame, while the Hounds’ defense stiffened to only allow eight from Mamou in the quarter.

Their defensive play was good enough to give the Hounds the lead, 23-21, at the half.

Whatever was said in the locker room must have worked for Welsh because their offense was firing from all over the floor in the third period. Keshon Bell put up eight points, Batiste added six, Pitre put up four, Don Broussard and Jermaine Washington each added three and Jordan Legros and Jerrion Moore each scored two for an overwhelm-ing 28-point period for the Hounds. Mamou was held to 18 to give the Welsh visitors a 51-39 lead heading into the final minutes.

Mamou attempted a

comeback, but despite out-scoring Welsh 20-17 in the frame, it wasn’t enough to steal a victory.

Broussard put up seven for the Hounds in the final minutes to lead the way in the quarter for the 68-59 Welsh win.

Welsh saw four double-

digit scorers on the night, including Bell with 14, Batiste with 13, Pitre with a dozen and Broussard with 10.

With the district win, Welsh improves to 2-1 in league play as they set their sights on Lake Arthur next Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — New Orleans safety Rafael Bush was fined $21,000 by the NFL on Friday for his hit on Seattle’s Percy Harvin during an NFC divi-sional-round game.

Harvin has a concussion and has been ruled out of Sunday’s NFC champi-onship game. The wide receiver did not practice all week and was not cleared through the league’s con-cussion protocol.

Harvin was belted by Bush on Seattle’s opening possession last Saturday, a hit that drew a 15-yard penalty. He left the game later in the first half after a second hit in which he was jumping for a pass in the end zone. He banged his head on the turf when he came down as he was being hit by safety Malcolm Jenkins.

Three players were fined $7,875 each from the 49ers’ victory over Carolina last weekend.

MIAMI (AP) — Ray Allen’s interests run much deeper than basketball.

The Miami guard spent time with extremely ill children over the holidays, arranged a private after-hours tour of the Holocaust Museum in Washington for Heat teammates and staff earlier this week and is constantly trying to better himself off the floor.

He mostly does these things quietly. His next endeavor will be on full display.

Allen collaborated with the NBA to design a shooting shirt that teams will wear for certain games in February, part of what he hopes brings additional spotlight to Black History Month. The shirt features the likeness of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Bill Russell and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights activist whose life is celebrated on Monday.

“It’s another celebration that we can improve on to try to create greater aware-ness, talking about where we’ve come as a people, as a league and as a country,” Allen said. “It’s an opportunity to talk about a great leader of the past, but even Martin Luther King, what he fought for was civil liberties not just for black people, but for all people. So to me, Black History Month has always been about equality of all people.”

Allen and the Heat will play at Atlanta — King’s birthplace — on Monday, one of 10 games league-wide that day.

And the significance of being there on Martin Luther King Day is not lost on the league’s all-time leading 3-point shooter.

“I was there once before for Martin Luther King Day. It was pretty poignant to be there,” Allen said. “Just knowing that you’re there ... it just seems so full-circle for us to know this is where we are. The signifi-cance for us as black men, you almost have to take a look at yourself and say how much

is Martin in me and how much do I make a change or make a difference in the world I live in.”

The NBA announced Friday what it’s calling the “Dream BIG” campaign, which tips off Monday and continues through February. Heat forward Chris Bosh was featured in a commercial to kick off the celebration.

“With the NBA’s young and diverse fanbase, we felt it was important to create a program that would engage kids by educat-ing them about black history to positively impact the future,” said Saskia Sorrosa, the league’s Vice President for Multicultural/Targeted Marketing.

For Allen, that personal quest goes beyond black history.

About half the Heat roster, along with coach Erik Spoelstra and several team officials and executives, joined him for what became about a three-hour tour of the Holocaust Museum. Allen has close rela-tionships with people running the museum, and they gladly stayed well past closing time to greet the Heat and show them around.

He’s also starting to think about how he can challenge himself when his basketball career ends, with things like competing in an Ironman triathlon currently piquing his interest. And in large part because his son has Type 1 Diabetes, Allen is routinely advocating ways for people to better them-selves through diet and exercise.

“You just see things that need to be done, things that need to be taken care of,” Allen said. “I’ve always known that you have to be willing to sacrifice who you are to be able to achieve greater good. That’s kind of how I’ve been my whole life. I’m trying to figure out ways to improve who I am and what I do.”

That’s also why he reached out to the

Heat’s Allen designs shirt for Black History Monthleague with this idea.

“It’s not just about the black players in the league,” Allen said. “It’s about where

we’ve come, what we’ve fought for, equal-ity amongst all races, ethnicities, cultures and groups.”

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — Ever since the game was invented, before television or even radio existed, baseball counted on the eyes and ears of umpires on the field. Starting this season, many key decisions will be made in a studio far away.

Major League Baseball vaulted into the 21st century of technology on Thursday, approving a huge expansion of instant replay in hopes of eliminating blown calls that riled up players, managers and fans.

“I think it’s great,” San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s about getting it right.”

Acknowledging the human element had been overtaken in an era when everyone except the umps could see several views over and over in slow-motion, owners and players and umpires OKed the new sys-tem.

Now each manager will

be allowed to challenge at least one call per game. If he’s right, he gets another challenge. After the seventh inning, a crew chief can request a review on his own if the manager has used his challenges.

“I tell you the fans will love it,” baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said after owners met and voted their unanimous approval. “It’s another in a long list of changes that will make this sport better than it already is.”

Baseball was the last major pro sport in North America to institute replay when it began late in the 2008 season. Even then, it was only used for close calls on home runs.

The NFL, NBA, NHL, some NCAA sports and major tennis tournaments all use a form of replay, and even FIFA and the English Premier League have adopt-ed goal-line technology for soccer.

Not that managers won’t still occasionally bolt from the dugout, their veins bulg-ing.

The so-called “neighbor-hood play” at second base on double plays cannot be challenged. Many had safety concerns for middle infielders being wiped out by hard-charging runners if the phantom force was sub-ject to review.

Ball-and-strike calls can’t be contested. Neither can check-swings and foul tips. Nor can obstruction and interference rulings — those are up to the umpires’ judg-ment, like the one at third base in Game 3 of the World Series last October that sent St. Louis over Boston.

All reviews will be done by current MLB umpires at a replay center in MLB.com’s New York office. To create a large enough staff, MLB agreed to hire six new big league umpires and call up two minor league umps for the entire season.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Super Bowl practically comes with a guarantee of A-list star wattage: No matter where it’s held, celebrities flock to the big game and the blowout extravaganzas connected to it.

But its location this year at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. — just outside of New York City — has raised the bar for over-the-top parties and events that one would only expect from the self-professed capital of the world.

“New York is hot and has always been hot, so the pressure is on. Energy will be pumping, wherever you may be,” said Shape magazine Editor-in-Chief Tara Kraft, who is helping plan a $2,500-a-ticket event at New York’s swanky Cipriani’s, co-sponsored by Men’s Fitness. It will feature Mary J. Blige, Marc Anthony and John Legend.

So far, it seems like the city has deliv-ered on that promise. Jay Z will perform at DirecTV’s Super Bowl Eve party; Drake is due to perform at another; the Foo Fighters are performing across from Bud Light’s floating party on a cruise ship; the Kings of Leon and the Black Keys are set to rock out at two different events; GQ is planning an exclusive, invite-only party that’s still under wraps but likely to attract plenty of boldface names; and Super Bowl staple parties sponsored by the likes of Playboy and Maxim are expected to be even more wild given this year’s location.

“I think the expectations are a lot higher for New York,” said Jon Gieselman of DirecTV, which invented the Celebrity Beach Bowl. “What’s so unique about it is you’re competing with other Super Bowl events but you’re really competing, also, with all of the

other incredible things that New York has to offer. There’s so much to do in New York.”

Gieselman and his team began plan-ning two years ago, rather than the usual one, due to tight competition for suitably large venues and navigation of compli-cated permitting procedures. Though there’s a chance for blistering cold weather or even snow on Feb. 2, DirecTV is more than prepared for inclement weather: Its eighth annual beach bowl will be inside an 88,000-square-foot structure that he boasted can withstand hurricane-force wind. It will be filled with more than 1 million pounds of sand and is set to feature stars including Shay Mitchell of “Pretty Little Liars,” model Chrissy Teigen and food TV star Guy Fieri, as well as retired football greats like Joe Montana. Rockers Paramore will perform.

Like the Beach Bowl, some of the biggest events will have some access for the non-boldfaced. Time Warner Cable will stage four nights of VIP parties and concerts from a pop-up; a small number of customers can win free tickets via Twitter to see P. Diddy and Drake on Super Bowl Eve and Kings of Leon that Thursday night. Janelle Monae, Fall Out Boy, TLC, J.Cole, the Goo Goo Dolls and Gavin DeGraw are among those booked by VH1 for a concert slate dubbed the “Super Bowl Blitz,” six nights of entertainment in all boroughs, plus New Jersey.

The Foo Fighters and Zac Brown Band will perform as part of Bud Light Hotel festivities near the cruise ship docked on the Hudson, along with Imagine Dragons, Run DMC and Fall Out Boy. That Friday, Nelly was booked there, on

NEW YORK (AP) — Jay-Z’s sports agency says it has signed New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia to join former teammate Robinson Cano in its emerging client base.

Roc Nation Sports says the 33-year-old left-hander agreed to a representation deal Thursday. The ace had been repre-sented by Legacy Agency’s group, which includes Brian Peters, Greg Genske and Scott Parker.

Sabathia is signed through 2016 at sala-ries of $23 million in each of the next two seasons and $25 million in 2016. The Yankees hold a $25 million option for 2017 with a $5 million buyout.

He was 14-13 last year with a career-worst 4.78 ERA.

Cano left Scott Boras last year for the new agency and agreed to a $240 million, 10-year deal with Seattle.

MLB approves expanded replay starting this season

Super Bowl, New York style, promises A-list sizzlethe pier next to the Intrepid for an after-party hosted by Playboy. In Brooklyn, more than 3,000 people are expected to stroll, eat and socialize their way through Taste of the NFL, a chef-heavy party that will raise money for hun-ger relief. Invited guests include chefs Bobby Flay, Tom Colicchio and Mario Batali, along with NFL greats Kellen Winslow Sr. and Anthony Munoz.

“I think it’s really special the Super Bowl is going to be there,” Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz said. “New York is already sort of pre-ready for this kind of event.”

Some of the hottest parties will be unattainable to most. GQ is throwing a bash for 300 guests at the Boom Boom Room atop The Standard hotel in the meatpacking district. Superhot Grammy nominee Kendrick Lamar was tapped for two events, hosting Maxim’s bash and performing at ESPN the Party, where he’ll also be joined by Robin Thicke and Jermaine Dupri. And Howard Stern is having his birthday bash beforehand at an all-star event hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

Gieselman said some previous Super Bowls didn’t attract the same level of celebrity to ancillary events that New York is due to bring.

“One reality of some of those other markets is you just don’t have quite as many people coming in. There were no direct flights from Los Angeles to Indianapolis, for instance. That really depressed, in my mind, the number of sort of A-level celebrities,” he said.

Model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker, co-host of the two-day Leather & Laces pre-Super Bowl bash at Liberty Theater in Times Square, said the

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation says it has signed

Sabathia

Indianapolis Super Bowl two years ago was one of her favorites.

“You got a hand-knit scarf when you landed and there definitely was a homey touch,” she said.

Decker expects more action in the Big Apple.

“I feel like New York will be com-pletely bustling, completely nonstop,” said Decker, before adding with a laugh: “I’m terrified about the cold weather, but I saw some lovely hand-warmers they’re going to be giving out, so hope-fully that will help.”

ASTRO-GRAPHSUNDAY, JANUARY 12,

changes if it will help you find happiness or broaden your interests and friend-ships. New possibilities that could lead to greater pros-perity will tempt you. Look at your options and choose the smartest route to ensure victory.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dealing with authority figures, institutions or gov-ernment agencies will pose a problem, particularly if travel is involved. Demands will not be met, and your reputa-tion must be protected. Stick close to home.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take part in a cause you believe in to impress some-one who has something to offer. You must be honest where your intentions and motivations are concerned.

Don’t let anyone get the wrong impression.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Consistency will be a decid-ing factor when it comes to your future relationships with friends, family and peers. Listen carefully and be willing to compromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Relax and enjoy the day. Take time to be with the people whose company you most enjoy. Live fully and make love a priority.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Thoughts followed by actions will bring good results. High energy and quality intentions will prove to be your ticket to the winner’s circle. Get ready to celebrate your good for-tune.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A makeover will prepare you for future endeavors. Getting involved in someone else’s cause won’t satisfy your needs. Do what makes you feel good, not what someone else wants you to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You won’t get all the facts, but you should still head in the direction that beckons

you. You can’t please every-one, so it’s best to please yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Timing is everything. Mixing business with pleasure will allow you to grab the sup-port needed to pursue future endeavors. Don’t donate money just to impress some-one. Offer solutions, but don’t offer cash.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion. You may raise eye-brows, but in the end, you will get your point across and feel good about your prog-ress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An emotional financial mat-ter may cloud your vision. An idea of yours must be deemed sound before you decide to invest in it. Romance should occupy your time, but not break your budget.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Look at the past and consider what has brought you the biggest return. Establish how to incorporate what you do best into a marketable service and revenue stream.
