He’s outspoken. He standsup for what he believes isright, and he is a man of God.

Sam Mims makes nobones about being outspo-ken. He believes in “telling itlike it is.”

Mims recalls a time whenhe knew racism, even callinghimself a racist at one time.Today, he says Minden hasmade progress, but morecould be done.

Mims says the right to voteis very important to himbecause he remembers whatit took to get that right.

“A lot of people died –black and white – for us blackpeople to have the right tovote and to be treated fairlyand equally,” he said. “Then Isee people now who are tootrifling or too whatever tobenefit from that. We had todo things (to get that right),so now I think the least I cando is vote.”

He is a 1964 graduate ofWebster High School andwent on to Southern Univer-sity in Baton Rouge. The dayhe graduated from college in1969, he joined the ranks ofthe U.S. Army.

“I remember not beingable to go to LSU,” he said.“Not because I wanted to go,but because I just couldn’t.”

He says somewhere in hiscollege years, the Lord “deliv-ered him from racism.”

“I didn’t like white folks,”he said. “I grew up here andto my way of thinking, I hadno reason to like white folks.I’d seen enough mistreatmentof myself and my family, so Iwasn’t crazy about white peo-ple. I didn’t know about Jesus,so I didn’t know about all thatstuff. You just go by yourexternal environment.”

He vividly recalls the dayhe was “delivered fromracism.” In December 1965,he was on a train from BatonRouge to Minden – at thetime, Minden had a traindepot. He had a girlfriend inMinden and one in Shreve-

With more than 71,000 Louisiana driversobtaining a learner’s permit or first time licenseeach year, the Office of Motor Vehicles is urgingcitizens to ensure their local driver educationprovider is properly certified and licensedthrough the State of Louisiana – a step that is nowrequired by law.

Elizabeth Hollingsworth, owner of LuckyBrake Driving Academy LLC, says students andinstructors are required to know and do the samethings.

“We have to go through the same things thekids do,” she said. “We have to take the driver’seducation class under a school that is alreadyopen. We have to do the whole thing – the class-room portion and the behind-the-wheel train-ing.”

But that’s where the similarities stop.“It took me about six months to do the cur-

riculum and take the tests and then to beapproved by the state,” Hollingsworth said.“Then, we are also required to have a million dol-lars in liability insurance and a $40,000 bond.”

Continuing education is part of the process ofbeing a certified trainer.

“We have to do two classes each year to staycurrent,” she said. “Of course, there are back-ground checks through state police since we’reworking with children.”

Currently, 187 licensed driver educationproviders across the state meet the criteria to beofficially recognized by the OMV Training andCertification Unit.

It’s a process that has changed since the timewhen high schools were the only avenue to driv-er’s education for the teenager who wants to bor-row dad’s car.

“You have to spend eight hours in the car withthe driver and it can only be one student at atime,” Hollingsworth said. “You can’t count ridingtime as driving time.”

Age of the student doesn’t matter.“It doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 25 or 55, the

same rules apply,” she said. “My oldest studenthas been 62, so far. They have to go through theclasses as a first-time driver would, no matter theage.”

Discussion beganWednesday on selecting analternative method to theopen tray burn, but the calldidn’t go without reserva-tions from some as the U.S.Army and the EPA stayedsilent throughout most ofthe call.

A representative for theU.S. Army introduced her-self as Christina Curley,communications specialistfor the Army. After herintroduction, Col. SamMims (Ret.), a 30-year vet-eran of the same ArmedForces branch and a dia-logue committee member,expressed his disappoint-ment in their silence.

“It’s just disturbing tome that the Army hasrefused to come to thetable and participate inthis process,” he said,emphasizing the remarkwasn’t directed at Curley.“As I said, this has nothingto do with you, but it just

bothers me the institutionI spent 30 years with is notwilling to come to the tableand deal directly in thisdialogue process.”

True to what he said,Curley stayed silentthroughout most of thecall, only answering a fewquestions or saying shewould take it to theirexperts with the Depart-ment of the Army in Wash-ington.

As the conference callcontinued, technical workgroup members movedfairly quickly through theagenda talking about thevarious ways to dispose ofthe M6.

A chart was providedwith information fromboth the EPA and com-ments from the Army. Onsome methods, such asseveral of the combustionand incinerator methods,the Army’s remarksshowed pros and cons toeach. The biggest concernon all the methods is thevolume of material thatmust be destroyed.

Dr. Slawomir Lomnicki,a combustion and muni-tions expert with the LSUSuperfund Research Cen-ter and Department ofEnvironmental Services,says all the detonationchambers are not suitablefor the destruction of theM6.

“This is because ofmuch lower explosiveproperties of propellantscompared to TNT (an ener-getic in explosives),” hesaid. “They are designedfor much higher explosivematerials, like TNT. In gen-eral, when I looked over allthese technologies, itstruck me that using theKiln incinerator might bethe best way to deal withthese materials, under theconditions that this Kilnincinerator would be pos-sible to set up on the site insome reasonable timemanner, properlyequipped with post-com-bustion treatment.”

Doug Sarno, facilitator,says the incinerator is oneof the processes that has

the capacity to handle larg-er batches than others. Butthe drawback, Lomnickisays, is the fact that deto-nation chambers’ capacityto destroy materials bypounds per load is verylow.

“They are used to treatmuch smaller amounts ofmaterial with much biggerexplosive properties,” hesaid.

Each one discussedcame down to volume,capacity and availabilityand other limitations.

As discussion contin-ued, the Army and the EPAstill remained silent.Frances Kelley, withLouisiana Progress Actionand dialogue committeemember, called them on it,saying the ones whoshould be offering theexpertise are those on thepanel, not the facilitator –stressing that she wasn’tchastising Sarno’sapproach to handling themeeting, only that it was a“process concern.”

“I am deeply uncom-

fortable with the way thiscall has gone today,” shesaid, “and I feel like weneed to have the commit-tee members be the onesdiscussing more of thetechnical aspects of thedifferent technologies, andwe need to be backing thatup with research and cita-tions. And I understandthat it’s just a rough draft,but I feel like these conver-sations are going to shapeour future conversations,and we have to be doingthis the right way.

“I also want to commentthat this has never beendone before,” she contin-ued. “There’s never been,as far as I know, a pile ofhazardous waste that hasto be disposed of as quicklyas this one. We have to finda solution here. We have tobe creative, and we have tofind something that willwork, and not just rule outall these things becausethey haven’t dealt withbulk M6 propellant in thisparticular way in the past.”

Hydrolysis and water

immersion took up muchof the conference, withmembers talking about thepros and cons of each. Dr.Brian Salvatore, a chem-istry professor at LSU inShreveport, says he feelsthese processes are thebest.

“These hydrolysis unitshave great potential to dealwith these,” he said of theM6.

After talking aboutsome of the science behindit, he says he talked to oneof the developers of theprocess at Archtech whotold him they could useasphalt mixers and renderthe M6 non-explosive onsite.

The next meeting will beFriday, from 11 a.m. until 1p.m. with the full dialoguecommittee. The phonenumber for the public tocall and listen in is 1-866-900-8984, with conferenceID 92058899. The publiccan also listen to the con-ference calls afterward byfollowing the link on press-herald.com.

Seven Webster Parishmunicipalities, plus theWebster Parish Sheriff’sOffice, will be seeing a sig-nificant savings to theirbudgets following a Thurs-day meeting with parishassessor Morris Guin.

Historically, the eightentities have been requiredto pay the assessor’s officean annual fee for process-ing municipal tax notices.That won’t be happeninganymore, effective imme-diately, Guin says.

“I am eliminating thischarge to the municipali-ties and the WPSO, whichwill benefit Webster Parishtax payers,” Guin said in anews release.

Guin met with the sher-iff and the mayors of Doy-line, Minden, Sarepta andSibley Thursday at MindenCity Hall and explainedwhy his office would nolonger charge the fee. Ear-lier in the week, Guin helda similar sit-down with themayors of Cullen, CottonValley and Springhill.

Forgiving the fee meansSheriff Gary Sexton’s office

will save a total of$18,379.50, the City ofMinden saves $6,581.50,Springhill will not have topay $3,554, Doyline saves$625, CottonValley willsave $977,Cullen saves$943, Sarep-ta will save$684 andSibley saves$866. Totalsavings tothe commu-nities is $32,610 for 2015.

“Some of the amountsmay not seem like much,

but that money is impor-tant to everyone,” Guinsaid during the meeting. “Itwas sort of a labor chargeto the sheriff and themunicipalities that wereally don’t need. We’rehere to tell you that youwill not get another billfrom us anymore.”

Guin says his officecould have found some-thing to do with themoney. But, comparingthis fee cancellation to thereturn of $500,000 toparish taxpayers last year,the money wasn’t a factorin operating the assessor’s

office.“It’s a little like the

$500,000, we could havehired more people, but wedon’t have the liability youall have,” he said. “Thesheriff has ‘x’ number ofemployees, we have eight,nine counting me. We’vegot two vehicles, the sheriffhas probably 100 and theCity of Minden has many.”

Guin says new technol-ogy expedites the process-ing of all tax notices, andthat’s one reason his officecan return the money.

“We do things a lotquicker now than 15 to 20

years ago. We just don’tneed to charge for this,” hesaid.

“I’m the biggest bene-factor of this and I reallyappreciate what you do,”Sheriff Sexton said. “Thiswill help on the aerialimagery we’re about to doin the next few years.”

“We’re the next largestand you may think $6,500doesn’t mean a lot to thecity, but in this day andage, we have to watch ourpennies pretty closelyaround here,” MindenMayor Tommy Davis said.“This is a good thing forus.”

He says he was feelingsorry for himself and got“nasty” drunk. The peoplehe was drinking with lefthim alone after he’d gottensick.

“So, the conductor, awhite man who I still donot know to this day, cameto where I was and lookedat me,” he said. “He wenton about his business andhe came back. I’ll neverforget it. He had a big olewhite towel, and the towelwas warm. He proceededto clean me up – and Imean he cleaned me up ina caring way. He never saidanything, and he left. Hecame back with a glass ofwater and two Alka-Seltzers, and he still hasn’tsaid anything. He left, andthen he came back andtook me to a compartmentbetween the cars where hehad prepared a place forme to sit and lay. He’dopened the windows so Icould get fresh air, andthen he’d come back andcheck on me. When we gotto the stop here, he cameand got me and made sureI got off the train. And tomy knowledge, he stillnever said anything. So Igot cured that day onbelieving that all whitepeople were bad.”

He was 19-years-old atthe time.

He spent 30 years in theArmy, rising all the way torank of colonel. Mims sayshe earned his rank, butwithout affirmative action,the doorway to his rise inthe military may neverhave happened.

He came home to Web-

ster Parish in 1995 to 35acres of land south of Dub-berly to retire. He now pas-tors The Shepherd’s Hut, asmall church.

With his cattle, his fami-

ly life and his church, hestays busy, he says. He hasbeen married to his wifeGlenda for nearly 47 years.The couple has two sonsand two grandchildren.

the final exam, but stu-dents are required to go tothe OMV to take the eyeexam and be issued theirpermit or license.

Motor Vehicle Commis-sioner Stephen Campbellsays the Louisiana OMVrecognizes “the impor-tance of both proper drivereducation and parental

involvement in the licens-ing process to protectyoung drivers and reducethe number of teen seriousinjury and fatal crashesacross our state.”

The state office haspublished the Driver Edu-cation Information pageon its website outlining thedriver education processand requirements.

“Driver educationproviders serve as the firstline of instruction andinfluence to our new driv-

ers making the licensingrequirement vitally impor-tant,” Campbell said. “Weurge all novice and teendrivers to take full advan-tage of the onlineresources to ensure theireducators are properlylicensed and qualified toshape them into educatedand safe drivers.”

In addition to the newlyimplemented onlineresources, an innovativepartnership between theLouisiana Office of Motor

Vehicles and State Farmwas announced this pastDecember establishing theParent’s Supervised Driv-ing Program in OMVoffices statewide.

“Parents are requirednow to do a certain num-ber of hours of driving with

their students,”Hollingsworth said.

As part of the program,parents of teens seekingpermits will receive a freeguide comprised withinformation and lessonson driving basics, parentalpointers, an explanation of

the Graduated Driver’sLicense Program, and pre-licensing qualifications.

perspective

THE UNITED NATIONS has just issued a newreport documenting “widespread human rightsviolations” by ISIS. Even the UN’s human rightsboss, who has seen his share of atrocities, admit-ted to being “deeply shocked.”

Let’s not mince words about these “violations.”The ISIS savages are guilty of rape, slavery, childabuse, beheading, crucifixion, and more. Andwhile many ethnic and religious minorities areunder siege, their favorite targetsseem to be Christians.

This week, another 150 Assyri-an Christians were kidnapped inSyria and taken hostage by ISIS.The Assyrians have practicedChristianity since the 6th Centu-ry and still speak a language verysimilar to that spoken by Jesushimself.

Now, dozens of these peacefulpeople, among them babies andthe elderly, face the distinct pos-sibility of being slaughtered.Exterminated. Just as CopticChristians in Egypt and Assyrian Christians in Iraqwere exterminated in recent weeks.

The depravity of ISIS has overshadowed thatother Islamist terror group Boko Haram. Thoseevildoers kidnapped hundreds of schoolgirls inNigeria last year, most of them Christian. BokoHaram killed an estimated 2,500 people last year,usually targeting communities inhabited by Chris-tians.

And now? There has been a spate of suicidebombings in Nigeria carried out by young girls. Itis presumed that Boko Haram is forcing its kid-napped prey to don suicide vests. Just try to envi-sion the sickness required to strap a bomb to a lit-tle girl, send her into a crowded market, and deto-nate an explosion that kills dozens of innocents.

Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters describeswhat is happening as nothing less than a religiouscleansing. “What we are seeing,” he said Wednes-day morning, “is an Islamist attempt to extermi-nate the last vestiges of Christian civilization in theMiddle East ... it is a genuine Holocaust againstChristians.”

“Holocaust” is a charged word, but we are wit-nessing the systematic execution of peoplebecause of their religion. And just as the worldwatched and dithered in the 1930s, little is beingdone to confront the ISIS menace that has spreadacross the Middle East and North Africa.

President Obama heralds a “60-nation coali-tion,” but it has been invisible. Air strikes aresparse and ground action is shunned as a lastresort. Instead, the White House holds conferenceson “violent extremism,” the State Departmentimplies that a jobs program will assuage thenihilists of ISIS, and the United Nations issuesreports.

Meanwhile, the savages continue their march ofterror. Commentary Magazine put it this way: “ISIShas not lost any of the enormous territories it over-ran in 2014, it has also shown itself capable of con-ducting operations on different fronts simultane-ously.” In other words, ISIS is looking more andmore like a varsity squad of killers.

Some Christians and Kurds are now fightingback against ISIS in northeastern Syria, where thelatest abduction occurred. And the Pentagon con-firmed that a few airstrikes were carried out in theregion where the Assyrian Christians were kid-napped. But so much more is needed.

Col. Peters put it very bluntly Wednesday morn-ing on Fox: “Christians are tortured and even cru-cified publicly and our president does nothing;Christian women are kidnapped and raped andour president does nothing.” He concluded bycomparing President Obama to one of the greatestvillains of the Christian religion.

Is Col. Peters guilty of hyperbole? Perhaps. Butmany world leaders are guilty of something far, farworse.

Bill O’Reilly is a talk show host on Fox News.His column runs on Friday in the Minden Press-Herald.

Terrorists everywhere: Get a job!In the years when us old folks had

to shoo Pterodactyls off our anten-nas** in order to get good reception,Art Linkletter had a most amusing tel-evision show, “House Party.” A seg-ment of that show, “Kids Say TheDarndest Things,” became a staple oftelevision, led to a series of books andeven continued with comedian BillCosby as host.

** Explanation: For the youngerreader, there were no cable or satellitereception mechanisms, only a pieceof multi-pronged aluminum sittingatop another piece of aluminum.Amazingly, it received broadcast sig-nals from as far away as Moor-ingsport.

If Mr. Linkletter were alive today, hecould have spun off another, equallyinteresting, piece. A title, perhaps,“Grownups Say The Silliest Things,Especially Bureaucrats, Politiciansand Public Figures.” Material wouldnever be a problem.

One example: State Departmentdeputy spokesperson Marie Harf for-got the Abraham Lincoln rule aboutremaining silent during an appear-ance on “Hardball with ChrisMatthews” to address State’s strategytoward ISIS. It would have been muchmore simple, and far less embarrass-ing, if Harf had simply admitted, “Wehave no strategy.”

Instead, the woman who, at age 33can truly be called a career bureau-crat, proclaimed, after opining thiscountry “cannot kill our way out ofthis war” on terror, “We need in themedium-to-longer term to go afterthe root causes that leads people tojoin these groups, whether it’s lack ofopportunity for jobs…”

Of course (hand slap to forehead).Why didn’t someone think of thatsooner? If Islamist terrorists, nay,every terrorist in the world, had agood job, there would be little reasonfor concern. There might be the occa-sional dust up over low wages orworkplace conditions or benefits butcertainly no bombs, bullets or blades.

But wait. Someone asking a devot-ed terrorist might find they alreadyhave a job. It’s called killing people. Inmany cases, those people who aremurdered share a faith with theirmurderers. Still, the life work of a ter-rorist is taking lives. They considerthemselves soldiers. They get paid tobehead, burn and bomb.

For a person who began her careerat the Central Intelligence Agency (inher case, an oxymoron), seems Harfshould realizethere’s no way adedicated, fanatical,died-in-the-wooljihadist will replacea single page of theQuran with the clas-sified section of theNew York Times.

There are a cou-ple of scary points tothe Harf episode.First, she was on theteam that helpedshape PresidentObama’s national security and com-munications strategy during the 2012presidential campaign. She also spokeon behalf of the administration onnational security issues. Feel moresecure already?

Next, after the firestorm of criti-cism broke about her head followingthe job statement, she did not back-track or tell us what she really meant.Instead, she claimed on CNN that herargument is “too nuanced” for hercritics to understand. In bureau-cratese, that means we’re too stupid tounderstand the depth and brillianceof her observations.

It also means there’s nothing wecan do about it. Unfortunately, she’sright about that. She’s still a cluelessmouthpiece and will go nowhere butup in the bureaucratic morass that isWashington, D.C. In the nation’s capi-tol, it seems, incompetence is a virtue.Campaign alert

Money is both the bane and baby’sbreath of political campaigns, and the

old adage, “A fool and his money aresoon elected” is being altered slightlyto “Any fool with the most money canbe elected.” The fools may be doingthe running, but it’s a bunch of prettysharp cookies raising the dough.

In the money raising game, therearen’t many cookies sharper thanthose named Clinton. If any are moreadept at raising funds, they’re workingfor the Clintons. And with Hillaryapparently loading the guns for a 2016shootout, not even national bound-aries seem to limit fundraising by thefoundation that bears the familyname.

And, some are wondering, would aPresident Clinton look more favorablyon the bigs that donated lotsa moneyto her foundation than she would onmillions of littles who pulled her lever.

If the donors are more highlyfavored, then Saudi Arabia, Oman, theUnited Arab Emirates, Canada’s for-eign affairs (ironic) department andother foreign governments and indi-viduals are in the catbird’s seat. Asusual, the great unwashed would bethe bird inside the cat.

A question candidate Clintonmight have to answer if/when sheruns for the Democratic nominationwould be to whom her allegiance liesif a choice had to be made betweenthe people she is elected to serve andan entity which donated millions tothe Clinton Foundation.

One problem is finding someone toask the question. Another problem isfinding enough voters to pay atten-tion to the answer, if one is forthcom-ing.

Thought for the week: The peoplewho rock the boat are mostly thosewho aren’t rowing.

After The 3-Room WoodenSchool House

My older relatives oftentalk about how they walkedmany miles as students totheir 3-Room WoodenSchool House. There wasno indoor toilets and a

preacher brought wood to

the school in a horse-

drawn wagon for the wood

burning heaters and stove.

In 1956, a lot of black

children from different

communities rode buses to

the new school named

Union Elementary. They

were so happy and surprise

to see indoor toilets, run-

ning water, and no wood

burning heaters and stove.

They thought they were in

heaven.

One of my aunts was

Union’s first secretary, first

kindergarten teacher and

she later became the

school’s principal.

I loved Union Elemen-

tary school. I met many

friends and had great

teachers.

Sadly, Union Elemen-

tary school is torn down.

This school was a miracle

to many black students,

after the 3-Room Wooden

School House.

After The 3-Room Wooden School HouseBY TAITEUNA RABB

Today I am viewing thebeautiful snowy wonder-land from the window ofmy cozy warm house, sip-ping on Hot RaspberryScripture Tea and munch-ing Glazed Animal Cook-ies. The scene is like a Col-orado picture postcard.

I have not even left thehouse to pick up the news-paper or mail. I did brieflybrave it off the patio toscoop up a bowl of snowand made a bowl of snowice cream; a rare treat inthis part of the country.

I have not left the housesince leaving church Sun-day morning and thepantry is beginning to looka bit bare.

I like having soup whenit is cold weather. I haveoften make Corn Chowderbut came across this recipe

for Cauliflower Chowder.Except for the milk, most ofthe ingredients are staplesin my kitchen. Since I donot keep milk in my house,I would substitute cannedevaporated milk.

The only ingredient Ithen would have to pur-chase would be the cauli-flower. I think this recipewill be a KEEPER; I plan totry it soon.

CAULIFLOWER CHOWDER

4 slices bacon, diced2 Tbsp. unsalted butter2 cloves garlic, minced1 onion, diced2 carrots, peeled & diced2 sticks celery, diced¼ cup all-purpose flour4 cups chicken broth1 cup 2 percent milk (I

would substitute canned

evaporated milk)1 head cauliflower,

roughly chopped1 bay leafKosher salt & freshly

ground black pepper, totaste

2 Tbsp. chopped freshparsley

Heat a large skillet overmedium-high heat. Addbacon and cook untilbrown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to apaper towel-lined plate; setaside.

Melt butter in a largestock pot or Dutch ovenover medium-heat.

Add garlic, onion, car-rots and celery.

Cook stirring occasion-ally, until tender, about 3-4minutes.

Whisk in flour and stiruntil lightly browned,

about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in

chicken broth and milkand cook, whisking con-stantly until slightly thick-ened, about 3-4 minutes.Add cauliflower and bayleaf.

Bring to a boil; reduceheat and simmer until cau-liflower is tender, about 12-15 minutes; season withsalt & pepper to taste. Ifthe chowder is too thick,add more milk as neededuntil desired consistency isreached.

Serve immediately; gar-nished with bacon andparsley, if desired.

*Taken from the inter-net.

I am off to the kitchen tobake a pan of cornbreadand heat a can of ProgressoVegetable soup.

LaTech pullsaway from UTEP

RUSTON – LouisianaTech has accomplished alot of things this season,but the one thing they hadnot done was have anywire-to-wire wins.

That changed onThursday night and it wasa good time to do it as theBulldogs led the entire 40minutes while runningaway from UTEP in a 77-60 victory in front of5,126 fans inside theThomas Assembly Center.

The win kept LA Tech(22-7, 13-3 C-USA) infirst place in the leaguestandings, extended thehome winning streak to 27games and ended UTEP’s(19-8, 11-4 C-USA)seven-game winningstreak coming in.

“It was a huge game,”head coach Michael Whitesaid. “We played a verygood team with a verygood coach and a verygood staff. One of theexciting things aboutbeing in Conference USAis getting to play againstUTEP in the ThomasAssembly Center. Ithought our crowd wasterrific. They were asenergetic as they haveever been. They were asmuch of a factor as theyhave ever been.

“I thought the conver-sion of jump shots earlyon really got us going.Erik McCree carried usoffensively and set thetone to where we couldget into a pretty goodrhythm against one of thebetter defensive teamsyear in and year out. Ithought we played withpoise with the lead.Overall, on the defensiveglass it was as good as wehave been all year.”

After struggling toshoot the basketball in theprevious game againstOld Dominion, theBulldogs were much moreefficient tonight by going25-of-55 (46 percent)from the field and 9-of-20(48 percent) from beyondthe arc.

Erik McCree had a lotto do with that as the red-shirt sophomore hit hisfirst three shot attempts enroute to registering hissecond career double-dou-ble with 14 points andtying his career high with12 rebounds.

On the other end, theMiners struggled to makeshots despite coming intothe contest first in the con-ference in field goalshooting percentage andsecond in three-pointshooting percentage.They could only muster37 percent shooting fromthe field and were just 3-of-17 from three.

Raheem Applebyjoined in the scoringaction early on as he andMcCree combined for the‘Dogs first 18 points totake their first double-digit lead of the game, 18-8, with 11:34 to go in thefirst half.

“Thankfully Raheemgot a big three in transi-tion because we knowhow much they key in onhim, as everyone does,”White said. “UTEP is asgood as anyone in thecountry at taking a guy ortwo out of it. Getting thatopen look early was veryhelpful.”

The Bulldogs went upby as much as 13 points,but the Miners inchedtheir way back into thegame despite their leadingscorer and rebounder,Vince Hunter, seeing lim-ited action due to foultrouble.

Webster Parishreceived almost 4 inchesof snow Wednesday, asbaseballs were replacedwith snowballs.

With most of NorthLouisiana covered insnow - and more rain andthunderstorms expected tobegin next week - areabaseball coaches havebeen scrambling to adjust.

Practice schedules havebeen changed, tournamentgames rescheduled or can-celed, and travel planscarefully dissected.

Here is a look at howeach area team has copedwith the elements, as wellas a preview of where youcan hope to find eachteam over the weekendand into next week.

Minden Crimson TideThe Crimson Tide took

on Captain Shreve onThursday and will face theHaughton BuccaneersFriday at 5 p.m.

“Surprisingly nothinghas changed with ourschedule,” Tide headcoach Dean Francis said.“It’s cold like this everyyear at this time. Here weare going into a game with5 days off in a row, buteveryone’s in the sameboat as us. It’s tough whenyou get in a groove andthen you have five daysoff. I bet we could beatanybody if we played in agym as much time aswe’ve spent in there.”

Glenbrook ApachesThe Glenbrook

Apaches were originallyscheduled to take part inthe Pine Tree tournamentin Texas, but after thesurge of winter weather ithas been canceled. Withrain in the forecast fornext week it could beMarch 5 before theApaches are back on thediamond in the Kilgore,Texas tournament.

“With the tournamentbeing canceled we will dowhat we can as far as prac-tice goes,” Apache headcoach Jonathan Hardysaid. “We will do what wecan to keep our arms andlegs in shape. We will hit a

good bit in our enclosedhitting facility. We have tobe flexible mentallybecause there’s never aperfect situation withweather this time of year.”

Lakeside WarriorsThe Lakeside baseball

team will compete in theNorth Desoto tournamentagainst Loyola Friday at 3p.m. and then again versusNorthwood Saturday at 5p.m.

“This is the time ofyear you need to get bet-ter,” head coach Bob Graysaid. “There’s no way youcan get that done if youcan’t get on the field.These first 10 ball gamesare vitally important toyour season. This has kindof put a hinderance onthat process.”
