A return to Keynes?
The nomination of Janet Yellen to become head of the Federal Reserve System has set off a flurry of me-dia stories. Since she will be the first woman to occupy that position, we can only hope that this will not mean that any criticism of what she does will be attributed to sex bias or to a "war on women."
The Federal Reserve has become such a major player in the American economy that it needs far more scru-tiny and criticism than it has received, regardless of who heads it.
Ms. Yellen, a former professor of economics at Berkeley, has openly pro-claimed her views on economic policy, and those views deserve very care-ful scrutiny. She asks: "Will capitalist economies operate at full employment in the absence of routine intervention?" And she answers: "Certainly not."
Janet Yellen represents the Keynes-ian economics that once dominated economic theory and policy like a na-tional religion -- until it encountered two things: Milton Friedman and the stagflation of the 1970s.
At the height of the Keynesian influ-ence, it was widely believed that gov-ernment policy-makers could choose a judicious trade-off between the infla-tion rate and the rate of unemployment. This trade-off was called the Phillips Curve, in honor of an economist at the London School of Economics.
Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago attacked the Phillips Curve, both theoretically and empirically. When Professor Friedman received the Nobel Prize in economics -- the first of many to go to Chicago economists, who were the primary crit-ics of Keynesian economics -- it seemed as if the idea of a trade-off between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate might be laid to rest.
The ultimate discrediting of this Phillips Curve theory was the rising in-flation and unemployment, at the same time in the 1970s, in what came to be called "stagflation" -- a combination of rising inflation and a stagnant econo-my with high unemployment.
Nevertheless, the Keynesian econo-mists have staged a political comeback during the Obama administration. Ja-net Yellen's nomination to head the Federal Reserve is the crowning exam-ple of that comeback.
Ms. Yellen asks: "Do policy-makers have the knowledge and ability to im-prove macroeconomic outcomes rather than making matters worse?" And she answers: "Yes."
The former economics professor is
certainly asking the right questions -- and giving the wrong answers.
Her first question, whether free market economies can achieve full em-ployment without government inter-vention, is a purely factual question that can be answered from history. For the first 150 years of the United States, there was no policy of federal interven-tion when the economy turned down.
No depression during all that time was as catastrophic as the Great De-pression of the 1930s, when both the Federal Reserve System and Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roos-evelt intervened in the economy on a massive and unprecedented scale.
Despite the myth that it was the stock market crash of 1929 that caused the double-digit unemployment of the 1930s, unemployment never reached double digits in any of the 12 months that followed the 1929 stock market crash.
Unemployment peaked at 9 percent in December 1929 and was back down to 6.3 percent by June 1930, when the first major federal intervention took place under Herbert Hoover. The un-employment decline then reversed, ris-ing to hit double digits six months later. As Hoover and then FDR continued to intervene, double-digit unemployment persisted throughout the remainder of the 1930s.
Conversely, when President Warren G. Harding faced an annual unemploy-ment rate of 11.7 percent in 1921, he did absolutely nothing, except for cut-ting government spending.
Keynesian economists would say that this was exactly the wrong thing to do. History, however, says that unem-ployment the following year went down to 6.7 percent -- and, in the year after that, 2.4 percent.
Under Calvin Coolidge, the ultimate in non-interventionist government, the annual unemployment rate got down to 1.8 percent. How does the track re-cord of Keynesian intervention com-pare to that?

As We WereBy Carolyn Hart
Stephen Waguespack
Actions speaklouder than words
We have all heard, and most likely given that advice over the years. Some of us had to learn this lesson the hard way. Some of us haven’t learned it yet. Most of us learn it and forget it several times a day. We try to instill it in our kids, usually by referencing some old story or lesson we learned years ago. The reality is that the only way they learn it is by watching us to see if we walk that walk or simply talk that talk.
We can all think of a few notewor-thy examples…Nick Saban pointing his finger at a Miami Dolphin news confer-ence and asking incredulously to the media, “How many times do I have to say it? I will not be the coach at Ala-bama.” Others may remember a cer-tain president saying, “Read my lips. No new taxes.”
Well, these days we sure do get a lot of words in the policy debates that im-pact our economy and people, but the actions we see don’t always match the rhetoric.
As we enter the first few weeks of registration through the federal health care exchange mandated under Obam-acare, the President and his supporters in Congress are once again highlighting all the perceived benefits this new fed-eral program will bring with it. Despite the strong disagreement by many over that point, present company included, the cheerleading by proponents is in full swing. Strong words are said, but the actions taken are different.
One example is the way that Con-gress exempted itself and its staff from the full financial impact of Obamacare thanks to a recent decision by the ad-ministration to allow taxpayer-funded subsidies for these federal workers in order to mitigate the financial impact on their wallets. It seems they do not want to personally pay that cost or look their employees in the eye while mak-ing them do so. I get that, but what about the impact of this law on small business owners, families and non-fed-eral workers across our country? I hear the words said about how this new fed-eral program has such great promise and opportunity for all of us, but I do not understand why the actions taken by Congress sets up special treatment for themselves. I guess what they think is good for all of us they know not to be very good for them.
Another example is that the Presi-dent and Attorney General Eric Holder are filing suit against Louisiana to stop the state from offering scholarships to children in school districts with exist-ing desegregation orders unless the state obtains approval from a federal judge. Keep in mind, these scholar-ships are limited to low income chil-dren stuck in failing schools. They are optional to the school and parent, and revenue neutral to the taxpayer. Jus-tice Holder says that he stepped in to stop this voluntary state program be-cause he is concerned that it is “im-peding the desegregation process.” The words say one thing, but the action taken has a very real impact.
This action stops poor, and often minority, kids in the scholarship pro-gram from leaving a failing school. It stops poor, and often minority, parents from having the ability for the first time to choose what is best for their chil-dren. I have visited with some of these parents, and their stories of hope and determination are powerful. They were finally empowered to make a choice in how their child will be educated, but the federal government steps in and says, “No. And by the way, we are tell-ing you no for your own good.” This ac-tion tramples all over any hollow words spoken.
The reality is that when it comes to our leaders, I like many of the words I hear each day. In this era of 24/7 news coverage, our elected leaders are usu-ally accomplished and effective mes-sage deliverers. I like to hear our lead-ers talk about the need for good schools that provide a quality education for our kids. I like to hear comforting words about affordable health insurance, ef-fective coverage, improved health out-comes, and robust insurance markets. Speeches and rhetoric about empower-ing individuals to be responsible and make good decisions for their families and communities can be powerful and inspiring. I love all that stuff. I only wish the actions taken would actually reflect the words.

TO: CPHS Football Fans A few weeks ago, there were two dif-
ferent football issues with sideline in-terference and/or unauthorized side-line personnel in the player's box in the state. According to LHSAA policies, it is the home team's responsibility to manage crowd control and sideline is-sues. The visiting team administration is also responsible for their sideline, and what personnel are allowed to en-ter the player's box. Those people need to have identification from the princi-pal or athletic director signifying that they are a member of the team and bench personnel. All other individuals should remain in the stands or behind barricades. If there are any problems with sideline issues other than play-ers, coaches, managers, or trainers, the officials have been instructed to go to the home team administration to ask for help in moving individuals. All of these rules/regulations are put in place strictly for player and personnel safety.
Rule 8.4.3 of the LHSAA Handbook states that the host or sponsoring school shall ensure contest officials' security and welfare.
These policies are put into practice in order for all of us to experience a safe and productive game environ-ment for our student-athletes, coach-es, fans, and officials.
This is being published in order to thank all of you for always abiding by our policy to keep fans off of the field before, during, and after the game. It is very difficult to go to another field and see their lack of concern and re-spect for the policy of the LHSAA. It is equally disturbing to hear them com-plain when they are our guests when we do not let them onto the field. It is these same schools that will be fac-ing a sportsmanship committee when something happens!
On behalf of the teams at CPHS, the coaches, the faculty and the ad-ministration, we thank you for your continued support of high school ath-letics and your attendance at the con-tests. We also thank you for respecting the decisions that we make in order to protect all involved in the contests.
Sincerely,
Lee Bellard, PrincipalChurch Point High School
CP fans not at fault
Teams should abide by LHSAA rules
Fire Prevention Month. Yes we have focused on fire preven-tion more this month because of a nation-wide focus and it is a good thing to highlight the focus, but it is real-ly not enough. We need to focus on fire preven-tion 12 months a year. It is a shame that the phrase, “How quickly they forget”, also ap-plies to fire safety and prevention. It truly does only take one slip to have a severe fire disaster. Ask yourself how many times you have heard the words, “whoops” “oops” or “man that was close” connected to a fire
near miss. Most fires can be prevented sim-ply by applying fire prevention principles to our everyday lives. The problem is many people simply believe that somehow they do not need to pay atten-tion because it “will not happen to them”. Maybe we should ask the victims of the one million accidents relat-ed to distractions like texting while driving, they cry out to us, but wait you still see many texting and driving. As long as people do not believe safety rules and principles apply to them, people will be at risk unnecessarily.
Worse yet, often it is an innocent life that gets injured due to some safety violation or the passenger is injured in texting accidents. Step up to the plate, demand safe practices, remind people of safety violations, the life you save may be your own.
Keep watching, we are working to serve you better. Thank you for your great support.
Be aware, be safe. Non-emergency phone number 684-5429 [email protected] Check back next week. Berl Adams CPVFD Public Information Of-ficer.

What is happening with your fire protection?
By Jim BradshaWA scary automobile
accident in October 1945 is at least par-tially responsible for the establishment of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in La-fayette.
Bishop Jules Jean-mard; Father A. F. Is-enberg, chancellor of the Diocese of Lafay-ette; and Father Clif-ton Gaudin, diocesan vice chancellor, were
on their way back to Lafayette after attend-ing the 25th anniver-sary celebration for the St. Augustine Semi-nary in Bay St. Louis, Miss., when, about a mile west of the town of Livingston — mid-way between Baton Rouge and the Louisi-ana-Mississippi line — their car slammed into the back of a truck loaded with cucum-bers.
State troopers re-ported that the truck did not have its rear lights turned on. Fa-ther Gaudin, who was driving, said he was also blinded by the lights of an approach-ing car.
Father Gaudin suf-fered only minor bruis-es, but the bishop and Father Isenberg were taken to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge.
Newspapers report-ed the day after the ac-cident that the bishop was “resting well,” suffering mostly from shock and bruises, and that Monsignor Is-enberg had a fractured hip and possible skull concussion.
Their injuries re-quired them to spend a few days at Our Lady of the Lake and dur-ing that stay Bishop Jeanmard became acquainted with the Franciscan nuns who staffed it.
By then, the order was well established in Louisiana. The first six Franciscan sisters came from France in 1911 to open a hos-pital in Pineville. For some reason, that didn’t work out, but the nuns stayed and opened St. Francis Sanitarium in Mon-roe in 1913, then Our
Lady of the Lake in Ba-ton Rouge in 1921.
That history of work in Louisiana probably had some bearing on the bishop’s invitation for the order to open a hospital in Lafayette in 1949, but it appears that the nuns were re-luctant to make the move.
Father Isenberg, who well remembered the care he had re-ceived at Our Lady of the Lake, was the one who finally persuaded them to come to Lafay-ette.
His persuasion was made more powerful, apparently, by a gen-erous donation from the Jewish business-man and philanthro-pist Maurice Heymann to help fund the con-struction.
(Heymann, inci-dentally, was an ecu-menical donor. In the
1950s, he offered land for a hospital in his new Oil Center to the Louisiana Baptist Con-vention. They declined the offer and the land then went to Lafayette General.)
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, led by Sister Marie Bren-dan Donegan, opened its doors as a 50-bed hospital on August 1, 1949. It, like other Franciscan hospi-tals, has been grow-ing since — so much so that Sister Barbara Arceneaux, a former provincial of the order said in 2011, on the 100th anniversary of their arrival in Louisi-ana, “They call us 'Our Lady of the Perpetual Construction.’”
A Catholic hospital would probably have
been built in Lafayette even if the Franciscan nuns had decided not to do it.
There were sev-eral orders of hospital nuns working in the state, including the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, who had been in the Lafayette diocese at St. Patrick’s Hospital in Lake Charles since 1908.
But it is interesting to speculate how the medical history of Aca-diana might have been changed if the tail lights had been work-ing on that cucumber truck on that night in October 1945.

On Sunday, Octo-ber 6 at the annual Daigle/Jeanise family reunion held in Pointe Noir, the communi-ty between Hwy. 35 and Richard, a 1950 Farmall Cub tractor pulled children on a flatbed trailer around the fields of the home previously owned by Martin and Celestine Daigle.
The beloved trac-tor was back on the old family property in Point Noir for the first time in over 30 years. It had been moved to the home James (J.C.) and Nolia Meche Daigle, in Breaux Bridge in the early 1980's.
The tractor was picked up at the house in Breaux Bridge on February 17, 1996, and brought to the home of Bryan and Cheri Armentor in New Iberia for restoration.
Cheri is the grand-daughter of James (J.C.) and Nolia Daigle. This relic from the past was restored in 1996 by Bryan, assisted by Cheri. The tractor has always been owned by one of her family mem-bers.
The job was com-pleted in July 1997. However, the tractor remained in New Iberia until it was returned to Pointe Noir for the family reunion.
It has belonged to three genera-tions of Cheri's fam-ily: her great-great-grandparents, Martin and Celestine Daigle, her great-grandpar-ents Lazard and Le-lia Daigle, and her grandparents James (J.C.) Daigle and Nolia Meche Daigle.
The Armentor's daughter, Sammie, is shown in two photos
enjoying the result of her parents' work.
Excerpts from a log the couple kept on the restoration work are shown in the framed boxes.

September birthdays at Acadia-St. Landry Guest Home
Fall is the best time of the year to garden in Louisiana, and it’s a great time to consider trees.
Very few landscapes in Louisiana could be complete without a Southern live oak, Southern magnolia or bald cypress.
The Southern live oak, while sometimes too large and spread-ing for a small home landscape, is one of the most popular and majestic and histori-cal trees. Their broad reaching canopies and evergreen foliage offer great appeal.
Our state tree and our state flower are
the bald cypress and Southern magnolia.
Bald cypress pro-vides exquisite fall foliage color. Bald cy-press can be planted either in water or in drier spots in the land-scape. It is one of our fastest-growing and best-adapted land-scape trees.
For Southern mag-nolias, try the Little Gem variety. This dwarf selection still will mature at 30 to 35 feet tall. Southern magnolias do best in well-drained soil and can be grown in sun or in an understory environment. June is the peak bloom
month. Southern mag-nolias are evergreen and slow-to-moderate growers.
For summer flow-ers, the tree most
Louisianians instantly think of is the crape myrtle. Select crape myrtles based on ma-ture size. They will bloom for 90 to 100
days beginning in May and continuing into early fall. You can find tall, intermediate, semi-dwarf, dwarf and miniature varieties. Be
sure to check on the mature height of your selection before mak-ing a purchase. Web-site - www.lsuagcen-ter.com/hammond.

Acorns of Hope, Nov. 23-26, 2013 On November 23.
plans are to drive the 86 miles; some volun-teers will ride bicycles to Grand Chenier, LA. Tree trucks, trailers will follow loaded with 4" caliper trees. The trees will be five oaks of the highest quality. The plan is to plant several hundred small-er root trees (native) i.e. Golden Rain Trees, Elm, Hackberry, Sweet Gum, Water Oaks, Red Mulberry, and other species to create diver-sity. Wildlife habitat is extremely important here. There are migra-tory birds crossing the Gulf of Mexico that need a hi-energy food source, hence, the di-versity of native trees
Grand Chenier, French word means "place of the oaks." Several live oaks, some centuries old, have re-cently died. Maybe thousands supposedly because of salt water intrusion from the re-cent hurricanes. I am not convinced the trees died from only salt wa-ter. Live oaks generally die from multiple inju-ries.
Grand Chenier is very thinly populated. Its big town of 50 miles away, Lake Charles. Its people mostly "Cajun" names speak English without the heavy Ca-jun accent. Their food and cooking is the test, its people are the best, generous and love to feed others. The larg-est drilling rig in North America is there, tap-ping into a natural gas vein that's suppose to furnish energy to the U. S. for the next 800 years.
In 1998, then Gov-ernor Mike Foster, my daughter, Alison Beth and I drove to Chenier is 7 1/4 miles, totally in the shade of centu-ry old live oaks. Today, there is no shade on the same drive. All the centuries old live oaks, the world's best, are dead and gone. There were several hundred hackberry trees that died. We must replant and soon.
In 1998, I had a contract to prune and remove several trees (live oaks and hack-berry). I informed the governor, "Three Soci-ety of Acaciana," now, "Trees Acadiana" and the Morning Advocate of this potential di-saster. The governor stopped the destruc-tion. Now, 15 years later, those same trees are dead and gone, plus thousands more.
At this time, I, we plan on not only plant-ing hundred of 4-5" caliper live oaks from my tree nursery in Church Point to Grand Chenier but acorns also.
We will purchase 10 or so acres in Grand Chenier, closely, to plant acorns from the best live oaks. So, so, every year when we do our Acorns of hope event, we'll have those top quality oaks ready to dig and replant.
Hopefully, we'll have enough extra trees to sell and even-tually recover our land cost. A camper-trailer will be installed on site for an AOH office and lodging for the month-ly visits to maintain the trees-crop plus duck, geese, alligator
hunting and fishing of course.
We hope to have approximately 1 acre plowed and ready to plant acorns this win-ter. In time we should also have acorns to sell. I believe the mak-er for top quality live oak trees and acorns will get stronger when people find out there
is a difference. Good quality live oaks are needed for our fast eroding coastline but for other parts of the nation as well. Hybrid-ize our live oaks with other species in differ-ent growing zones will be in demand as the needs arise to reduce damaging winds and erosion.
AOH hopes to re-plant the Cheniers for fear of massive ero-sion, wind breaks and the hi-risk of human health problems; when trees die to that degree, you can expect health failures. Trees purify the air we breath and the water we drink, not to mention reduc-ing high winds by as
much as 70%.*We wish to reforest the
thousands of dying live oaks "the world's best" and "pur-est strain."
*We will not only plant many 4-5" caliper live oaks but, will study why the trees are dying.'
*We will gather "acorns" from the best trees and re-plant them also on the ridge for seed stock for our an-nual "Acrons of Hope" event.
*We will, hopefully refor-est, preserve, replant for the
world, this magnicent specie -this year and for the next 6-8 years.
*We will by a small tract of land to plent the seed stock for rhw durew AOH plantings.
*Please join us with funds, help us fund, furnish equipment, and research
why the trees are dying. Robert R. Thibodeaux, Consulting Arborist-ASCAISA certified #SO-0286

Week Oct. 16
By Tom BrownLSN Staff Writer
CROWLEY – Recov-ering an onside kick to start the game, taking a chance with a pass-ing attack and selling out on defense to stop the run failed to pro-vide any answers for Erath last Friday night. Notre Dame scored on its first six possessions to remain unbeaten in District and on the season with a 42-7 win over the Bobcats.
“What’s tough is they come in probably knowing they are out-manned and they take a lot of risks,” said Pios coach Lewis Cook. “They gamble and run people in on you from all over and you don’t know where they are going to come from sometimes. That’s why I was a little worried about our execution.”
There certainly wasn’t any question about the first quarter execution. Nate Link knocked down a pass on the game’s first play, Hunter Stelly dropped the Bobcats for a four yard loss on second down and Curt Pettijean pressured Erath QB Ty Bares for a third down pass that Stelly knocked away to force a punt.
“We had a little bounce in our step that I haven’t seen the last couple of weeks,” added Cook. “The de-
fense was really run-ning to the ball and looked quick and that was nice to see.”
From the Pios 21 yard line, quarterback Brad Stoma and run-ningback John Mi-chael Besse engineered a 19 play scoring drive that consumed seven minutes and fifty-three seconds off the clock.
Stoma completed passes of 13 yards to Kevin Frank and 18 yards to Besse for a first down at the Pios 42. Besse picked up 26 yards on five straight runs to the Bobcat 32.
Stoma found Jeff Daigle for a 12 yard completion and a first down at the Erath nine. On fourth and goal at the two after three tries up the middle by Besse, Stoma faked it there and outran the defense around the left side for a touchdown.
“We were backed up to the ten yard line when Stoma hit Kevin Frank after the penalty on that first drive,” ex-plained Cook. “When you can run that many plays and not have something bad take the drive away, that tells me we are execut-ing.”
The Pios forced an-other punt and took over near midfield. Stoma scrambled for 25 yards on first down to the Erath 26. On fourth and two at the ten, Lance Bertrand
powered into the end zone with 10:35 left in the half to make it 14-0.
Stoma took the Pios 48 yards in 6 plays on the next possession, completing passes of 9 and 13 yards to Kyle Habetz. Besse scored from two yards out and Dutin Reiners hadded his third extra point for a 21-0 lead.
“You know going into a game that you have a chance, es-pecially if the other team is struggling a bit,” said Cook. “You still have to execute the things you have planned against that team and our guys did that.”
Erath was punting again after three plays and no yards against the Pios defense. Nate Link and Mathew Hanks teamed to stop QB Bares for a four yard loss on first down. After an incompletion, Kade Smith, Hunter Stelly and Hanks con-verged on freshman runningback Elijah Mitchell to force the kick which rolled dead
at the 38 yard line. Selly and Hanks led the Pios with six tack-les each.
Brad Stoma had the Pios in the end zone less than a minute lat-er with three straight pass completions. The junior QB hit John Michael Besse for 17 yards and Royce Za-unbrecher hauled in a 15 yard catch to the Erath six.
Zaunbrecher ran the same quick slant the next play and Sto-ma fired a laser be-tween two defenders. Zaunbrecher laid out for a diving TD catch and Reiners added the PAT for a 28-0 lead.
“I knew Erath would be coached up to play hard against us and that is always cause for concern,” noted Cook. “They brought the outside linebackers up close on occasion and were gambling a bit, trying to take away the run. I said let’s see if we can get a few throws to kind of back them off.”
Stoma completed 8 of 11 first half passes
for 103 yards and the Pios offense put up 245 yards of offense. Erath was held to just one pass completion and 34 yards on 23 plays. The Bobcats punted four times and the half ended their other first half possession.
The Pios starters made one final appear-ance in the third quar-ter. Their show closed eight plays, 49 yards and just over three minutes later.
Besse ran for 12 yards on first down and led the Pios with 90 yards on 18 carries. Stoma completed a 13 yard pass to Frank for a first down at the Erath 20 and capped the drive with a fourth and goal completion to Besse for a 7 yard touchdown. Reiners booted the extra point for a 35-0 Pios lead.
Erath got on the board after the ensu-ing kickoff. Speedster Elijah Mitchell turned the corner for an 80 yard Erath touchdown run,
“They got that one play on us after
things got a little out of hand,” Cook smiled. “We were a little con-cerned all week long about Mitchell. He’s a pretty good player, got good speed and just a freshman.”
The Pios reserves answered with a 10 play, 64 yard scoring drive. James Kratzer, Hunter Miller and Ivy Paul Robichaux split the carries with Kratzer getting the bulk on six carries for 38 yards and a three yard TD run.
“The second team put a nice drive togeth-er there in the third quarter,” added Cook. “That was really good for those guys and it was nice to see.”
Dustin Reiners re-mained perfect on the night with his sixth PAT. A scoreless fourth quarter secured the Notre Dame win.
The Pios gained over six yards a play with 391 total yards. The ND defense held Erath to 137 yards of offense and only one third down conversion in nine tries.
Church Point con-tinued their success in District 5 3-A play Thursday night with a dominant win over the Northwest Raiders at Bear Field.
Church Point won the coin toss, and in no surprise fashion, deferred possession until the second half.
The Raiders started at their own 47, after Kian Richard’s kick was returned by the Raiders
The Raiders began their drive and handed the ball off to Justin Ardoin for a five yard gain. On the next play, Gradney threw a quick screen to Ardoin and was quickly swarmed on by the Bears. A hard hitting tackle by Jyron Citizen forced the ball loose and was recovered by Jackson Bellard at the North-west 37 yard line.
Casey Benoit, still in at quarterback for the injured Jake Mor-vant, took over the Bear offense and began the ground and pound style Church Point has become known for.
A handoff to James Bellard for four yards set up a second and 6 from the Raider 33.
Benoit’s next hand-off was to number 33 Trevor Breaux, (Smash) one of Church Point’s bell cow run-ners in their system. He bulled and bruised his way to the North-west 20 yard line.
From there, runs by Deion Monroe (Flash)
and James Bellard (Dash) set up a third and goal from the one yard line. Monroe took the ensuing handoff right side and ran in for the 1 yard touch-down. Kian Richard’s PAT was good, and the score with 9:13 in the first quarter was Church Point 7, North-west 0.
Northwest’s next possession didn’t fare much better, as they went three and out and were forced to punt the ball away.
The Bears began play at the 47 yard line of the Raiders. After a few carries by Bellard, Brett Richard, and De-ion Monroe, the Bears seemed poised to hit paydirt once again as they were inside the Northwest 25 yard line.
The Raiders defense came alive and the next two plays result-ed in loss of yards for the Bears, as the Raid-ers defensive line were in the backfield quick-ly and tackled Brett Richard twice behind the line of scrimmage.
On third and 15, Casey Benoit dropped back to pass and was sacked for another loss, resulting in a 4th and 20 situation. Kian Richard came in to punt for the Bears, and the ball hit a Raid-er player in the foot, resulting in a live ball.
Alex Higginbotham jumped on the loose ball at the Northwest 9 yard line, giving the
Bears new life with a first and goal.
Northwest knew the ground and pound was coming, and they stiffened. Deion Mon-roe took the handoff for 1 yard, James Bel-lard tackled for a loss, and another run by Monroe brought fourth down from the 11 yard line.
Trevor Breaux came in on fourth and goal to try and smash his way in, but the Raider de-fense held strong and stopped him just short of the goal line, giving the Raiders the ball on their own 1 yard line.
This time, it was Church Point’s de-fense that held strong, as Brett Richard, Ted-rick Citizen, Aaron Bergeron, Jackson Bellard and the rest
of the swarming Bear defense made plays to force the Raiders to punt the ball away.
The Raider punt was returned to the Northwest 29 yard line, where backup quarter-back Troy Matte came in to man the Bears of-fense.
His first handoff was to the other bell cow in the Bear stable, Christian Veronie.
Veronie bulled through for 8 yards before being brought down. Monroe took the second handoff and ran for a first down at the 18 yard line. Mon-roe ran inside for three yards, giving the Bears a second down. Vero-nie once again bulled through the defense to give the Bears a first and goal at the 7. Mon-
roe took the next hand-off and skirted around right side to find the end zone. Richard’s PAT with 10:08 in the second quarter gave the Bears a 14-0 lead.
The Raiders next possession didn’t seem to fare to well as the Bear defense tightened and played with inten-sity. Tackles by Jack-son Bellard, Jyron Citizen and a sack by Tedrick Citizen once again forced a Raider punt. A poor punt by the Raiders gave the Bears excellent field position at their own 43 yard line.
Benoit, back in at quarterback, directed the drive for the Bears, but the Raider defense stepped up and forced a turnover on downs at the Northwest 18
yard line. An ugly offensive
series combined with a great defensive show-ing and an illegal pro-cedure penalty gave the ball back to the Bears after a turnover on downs at their own 38 yard line.
A designed draw play to Brett Richard moved the chains to the Northwest 43 yard line. Benoit’s next play was a lateral pass to backup qb Troy Matte who threw a beautiful pass downfield. The pass was broken up and fell incomplete at the 1 yard line to end the first half.
Brandon Alle-mand’s kick started the second half, with the Bears taking con-trol at their 36 yard

Jude 1:11: “Woe unto them!
for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.”
This verse comes from a passage of scripture warning churches of the dan-ger of those who would corrupt the doctrine of God, but I would like to look at the three characteristics repre-sented in this verse about which God gives the warning “woe”. The way of Cain represents serving in man’s way instead of what God
commands. Balaam represents taking the way of money instead of the will of God. Core represents the desire for power or prestige, rebelling against the way of God instead of humbly serving God.
There are many other examples and warnings in the book of Jude and through-out the Bible concern-ing God and His will for our lives. Salva-tion is from Him and He has given His Word that we may know how to serve and wor-ship Him. No person, church, or organiza-tion has the right or authority to change “thus saith the Lord”.

RELIGION
This is the way it was, plain and simple. There is real, remark-able, genuine differ-ence between the gods of some and the gods of others.
When things go terribly wrong in our lives, and they do from time to time, the ques-tion becomes, what do we do about it?
Reading from Isa-iah's pondering this morning, searching for some real, true, deep answers, I came across a pattern. What do we do when the bot-tom falls out of the car, of the marriage, of our
health?We go to the Living
God, or at least I be-lieve we must.
The prophet of the Lord said this one time: "It is true, Lord, that the kings of (you name it, but this time it just happened to be Assyria) have de-stroyed all these na-tions." Say we went looking for answers, and we prayed and we consulted, and we cried, and we sought.
"And they have thrown the gods of these nations into the fire and burned them. But of course the As-syrians could destroy them! They were not gods at all -- only idols of wood and stone shaped by human hands."
Where is the an-swer? From where must it come?
The sun was setting when he received word that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was lead-ing an army to fight against him, King Hezekiah. So, he did what he always did when he heard a report
about an army com-ing his way. He tore his clothes and put on burlap and went into the temple of the Lord.
War was coming.Armies were arriv-
ing.What could he do?It seems to me,
friends, that difficul-ties that arrive in our lives like foreign armies, must be han-dled in the same way we would handle an attacking army. When difficulties come in our marriages, in our jobs, in our checkbooks, in a bad diagnosis (you name it, it's gonna come) or two or three, read what the holy scriptures tell us.
"After King Hezeki-ah's officials delivered the king's message to Isaiah (yeah, that one), the prophet (Isaiah) replied, "Say to your master, 'This is what the Lord says. Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king's mes-sengers. Listen! I my-self will move against him,' and the king will
receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.' "
When difficulties come, go to the Lord.
When pain comes, go to the Lord.
When tears fall, and shock ensues, and we flat out don't know what next to do. Go to the Lord.
After Hezekiah re-ceived the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord's Temple and spread it out before the Lord. He prayed, "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, God of Isra-el, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the king-doms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see!"
Go to the prophet. Go to the Temple. Go to the Lord. Seek the joy. Search for the light. Let the pure love that is God's flow down
the mountain and cov-er us like nothing ever could or would or ever will.
His love endures forever. His grace cov-ers us all. We are saved. We are purified.
Singer/Songwriter/Worship leader Chris Tomlin wrote this:
I called your name. You heard my cry.
Out of the gray, and into light.
My heart is yours. My soul is free.
Thank you God for saving me. Thank you God for saving me.

“Poppa’s Journey”Don’t think of Poppa as gone away, his journey’s just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only
one. Just think of Poppa as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think
of how Poppa must be wishing that he could know today how nothing
but our sadness can really pass away. And think of him as living in the hearts of all of us he touched... for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so very much. In the end there are three things that last - Faith, Hope and Love. And the greatest of these is Love. Rest in
peace Poppa. We love you!

Professional de-velopment coach and speaker, Fred Reg-gie has been invited by Loyola University New Orleans College of Law to deliver “Skills for Successful Profes-sional & Social Inter-action” to second- and third-year law stu-dents. The course is an interactive work-shop concentrating on how to professionally market individual tal-ent by defining your mission, leaning the art of charisma, and understanding the im-portance of listening in social interactions. The workshop also encom-passes the etiquette of power lunches and for-mal dinners and how to follow up after net-working events. Reg-gie is a business coach and a professional speaker whose work has included coach-ing trial lawyers on the development and re-finement of courtroom presentation skills.
“Developing an in-dividual mission state-ment is critical to the success of any profes-sional or executive”, says Reggie. “It is the critical statement that answers “Why” we do what we do; what is
the desired outcome of our efforts.”
Reggie, an accom-plished professional speaker and presenter, has addressed hun-dreds of audiences nationwide over the past 30 years. He has worked with execu-tives, community lead-ers, and legal profes-sionals on developing the art of presenta-tion and engagement.This is his second en-
gagement with Loyola. The presentation is designed to enhance communication and connectivity skills that will prove critical when graduates set out to establish their respec-tive career paths. It is presented as part of the College of Law Skills and Experien-tial Learning Program led by Loyola Profes-sor Christine Cerniglia Brown.

ACADIA PARISH- An 82-year-old Lake Arthur woman is dead, following a fatal crash on LA Highway 100 at LA Highway 91.
According to inves-tigating Troopers, at 07:50 a.m., 57-year-old Gary Daigle of Church Point, was driving a 2007 Dodge truck west on LA High-way 100 approaching LA Highway 91. A 2004 Ford SUV, driven by 55-year-old Elizabeth Scott of Iota, was trav-eling east on LA High-way 100 approaching Daigle.
For reasons still under investigation,
Daigle turned left into the path of Scott’s ve-hicle, and struck her passenger side. Daigle was not restrained and was not injured in the crash. Scott was restrained and was transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries. A passenger in her vehicle, 82-year-old Gloria Pousson of Lake Arthur, was re-strained but sustained fatal injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene by the Aca-dia Parish Coroner.
It is unknown if im-pairment was a factor in the crash; however, Troopers have ob-
tained toxicology sam-ples and they will be submitted to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
This crash remains under investigation.
Last year, 62% of the fatal crashes in-vestigated by Troop I involved some form of impairment. While re-sults are still pending in this crash, Troop-ers remind drivers about the dangers of impaired driving. Even after having just one drink, decision making abilities are hindered. Make the responsible decision every time, don’t drink and drive.

History of Church Point - Part 13
line. The smash, flash,
and dash took control again as tough runs by Breaux, Monroe, and Bellard brought the Bears within good field position once again. The drive stalled on a third and eleven when Monroe was stopped for no gain. Kian Rich-ard was called in to attempt a 27 yard field goal and it sailed through the uprights to put the Bears up 17-0 with 6:46 to play in the third quarter.
Richard’s ensuing kickoff was put out of the end zone, giving the Raiders the ball at their 20.
A first down run for no gain and a holding penalty gave the Raid-ers a second and 22 situation. Lewis’ pass was nearly picked off, leaving the Raiders in a third and long. Lew-is, on the keeper was cut way short of a first by Jackson Bellard, forcing another Raid-er punt. This time, Angelle’s punt was shanked off his foot, giving the Bears excel-lent field position once again at the Raider 20 yard line.
Matte came in again at quarterback to lead the Bears. The com-bination of Breaux, Bellard, Monroe and Brett Richard proved too much for the Raid-er defense, and they marched down the field all the way to the Northwest 2 yard line.
Richard took the handoff and ran to paydirt from 2 yards out to put the Bears up. Kian Richard’s PAT was good, and with 3:47 in the third, it was a 24-0 ball game.
Northwest start-ed their next drive at their 25, and seemed
on their way to move the ball, until Lew-is took the ball on a keeper and was tack-led by the Bears Fred-rick Williams. Lewis, apparently unhappy with the tackle, shoved Williams, resulting in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a second and twenty situation.
Lewis’ next pass was complete to #5. The Raiders tried to go to that well again, but this time Williams picked off the Lewis pass and the Bears were in position again at the Raider 28.
Jake Morvant came in for this drive to lead his Bears down the field. Smash, Flash and Dash were in ac-tion again and drove down the field to the Northwest 1 yard line. Bellard danced through the end and hit paydirt. After two personal fouls and 1 roughing the kicker call, Richard’s kick was good and the Bears were up 31-0.
The penalties on the Raiders were assessed on the kickoff, so Rich-ard’s kickoff was from the Northwest 30 yard line. Richard placed the kick out the stadi-um, to give the ball to the Raiders at their 20 yard line.
Defense proved strong, and the Bears held the Raiders to a three and out. An-gelle’s punt was downed at mid field to put the Bears in play.
Troy Matte, in for relief, handed the ball off to Tyler Wheeler for a first down run. A facemask penalty brought the ball down to the Northwest 20, where Donavon Gal-low carried for 3 yards. Jacob Bergeron swept around left side to take
the ball down to the 15, where Tyler Wheel-er took the ball to the house from 15 yards out. Richard’s PAT was good once again, and with 3:45 to go in the game, it was 38-0.
The Raiders only score of the night came when #5 carried right side for a long gain to the endzone. Alle-man’s PAT was good, and with :07 left in the game, the score was 38-7.
The Bears downed the ensuing kickoff, and in victory forma-tion, Matte took a knee and ended the game.
Church Point trav-els to Port Barre this Friday to face the Red Devils in a district showdown. Church point improved to 5-2 on the season and 2-0 in District play.
The bears com-piled 341 total yards of offense on the night, while limiting North-west to 211 yards of total offense.
Individual lead-ers for the Bears were Trevor Breaux with 107 yards rushing on 13carries, James Bel-lard had 16 rushes for 95 yards and 1 score, Deion Monroe had 15 rushes for 71 yards and two scores, Brett Richard had 7 rush-es for 21 yards and 1 score, Christian Vero-nie had 2 rushes for 16 yards, Tyler Wheel-er had 3 rushes for 29 yards, Jacob Bergeron had 1 carry for 5 yards and Donovan Gallow had 1 carry for 3 yards.
Casey Benoit was 0-2 in passing, with no interceptions, and Troy Matte was 0-1, with no picks.
Kian Richard was 5-5 in extra point at-tempts, and had 1 field goal for 28 yards

When it was first determined that our son was autistic, we only had a vague idea as what autism is (e.g., in-ability to communicate, extremely reserved, etc.). And like most people in the same situation, we studied up on the subject, became better informed, which in-cluded the realization that there is no cure for autism. The type of autism Daniel has it Asperger’s Syndrome, the highest-functioning strain. Little did we know that our hobby of motorcy-cling would be the tool for to successfully deal with the disorder, to the point that he would eventually ride his own motorcycle to the Stur-gis rally in SD.
Although Daniel came to us late in life-our youngest child was thirteen when he was born-and accorded us the privilege of raising him as an only child we knew
we would probably never achieve “empty nest” sta-tus. So we proceeded with purchasing our first Harley, something that was planned for whenever our children were all gone and it would be just me and my wife.
Almost immediately we became active in the local Harley Owners Group and began including our son, taking him on chapter rides and fundraisers by having our elder son bring him by car. The membership took him under their wing and provided him with a social life that many special-needs individuals do not have. In this environment he devel-oped self-confidence and an outgoing personality, some-thing almost unique for an autistic individual. As is of-ten the case he fell in love with everything related to Harley-Davidson and being an extremely compassion-
ate child, he gave his all to M.D.A. For several years he sold the most raffle tickets for the annual motorcycle giveaway.
We realized he was de-veloping an interest in rid-ing so we put him through several motorcycle rider courses, most unsuccess-ful and one that was, which was under the tutelage of Mr. Wells Cornette with Top Gun Motorcycle School in Opelousas. He was able to relate to Daniel and teach him the fundamentals of riding. By then Daniel had qualified for his drivers per-mit which allowed him to ride as long as I accompa-nied him. We purchased for him the first Buell “Blast” sold in LA, then he pro-gressed to a Custom Sport-ster and now rides a 2011 “SuperLow” Sportster.
The culmination of our efforts occurred this year
when Daniel rode his motorcycle to Sturgis, SD for the Black Hills Rally (1500 +/- miles). I rode along with him (of course) while my wife and some of our friends followed in an RV. Our distance record for one day was 672 miles, quite an achievement for any-one on a Sportster.
In addition to the con-tributions made to our son’s development by the local H.O.G. Chap-ter, our local dealer, Ca-jun Harley-Davidson in Scott whole-heartedly supports our annual “Ride for Autism”. This is an overnight motorcy-cle poker run, Lafayette, LA to Galveston Island, TX which strives to increase public awareness about the mysterious affliction and raises money to help those dealing with autism. All pro-
ceeds benefit Project Inde-pendence (www.projectin-dependnece.org), an autism support group staffed en-tirely by volunteers, mean-ing every penny raised goes to the cause.
