Driving Wednesday with a switched license plate on their vehicle was the mistake that eventually landed a Homer couple in the Webster Parish lockup on more than a traffic offense.

Webster Parish Capt. Bobby Igo and Sgt. Josh McCormick were traveling east on U.S. Hwy. 80 in Dixie Inn when they noticed a truck with a license plate that did not match the vehicle, according to Sheriff Jason Parker.

After stopping the vehicle and speaking with the driver, 63-year-old Angela D. Latham, and passenger, 55-year-old Jason Stevens, Igo and McCormick reportedly received permission to search the vehicle.

During their search, the officers found a small amount of suspected methamphetamine in the driver’s purse, and a small pill container with suspected methamphetamine between the driver’s seat and console.

A further search uncovered a magnetic box in the bed of the truck containing a baggie of suspected methamphetamine along with a piece of foil containing the same drug. Latham reportedly confessed she had a glass smoking pipe on her person.

Stevens and Latham, residents of the 3400 block of Hwy. 146 in Homer, were each charged with possession of methamphetamine. Latham is looking at an additional charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both are being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center where bond has been set at $3,500 each.

While some retail businesses will have Labor Day sales, some will be closed to recognize it as a holiday. It’s always a good idea to check with your local banks before venturing out to shop Monday.

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

Before it was a federal holiday, Labor Day was recognized by labor activists and individual states. After municipal ordinances were passed in 1885 and 1886, a movement developed to secure state legislation. New York was the first state to introduce a bill, but Oregon was the first to pass a law recognizing Labor Day, on February 21, 1887. During 1887, four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York – passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday.

Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title.

Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a “general holiday for the laboring classes” to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

But Peter McGuire’s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday.

Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that “the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday.” Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.

Louisiana’s National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHFD) will be held Sept. 28 at four locations across the state, including Bodcau in Haughton, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced.

LDWF introduced its first NHFD event in 1982 at the Monroe District Office, and in the following years, additional locations were added to its roster.

Each location’s event varies but all include exhibits on LDWF’s research and conservation efforts, shooting and fishing demonstrations, and exhibits from local chapters of Ducks Unlimited, the Safari Club and the Coastal Conservation Association, as well as local businesses.

Attendees can try their skills at the shooting ranges, fishing ponds, and boating activities, and learn about wildlife with live animal demonstrations. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends.

 Did you know that you can plant a fall garden?  Of course, there are the greens, Turnips, mustard, and collards.  But what about the cauliflower, onions, broccoli, cabbage, and others.  You need to work the soil before planting or transplanting just like you do in the spring.  Try to bring up the moisture content to the top of the row., then replenish the nutrients taken away from the soil that was used up by the spring crops.  Commercial fertilizer, mulch, or compost will do the job for you.  

There is still time for crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and sweet corn.  You have to get it done asap now because the time is running short for you to get a good harvest.  Sweet G 90 corn is a 90 day to harvest corn, so it would be a good place to start.  Most tomatoes and peppers can still be planted.  Everything depends on the weather and how soon the first frost comes.  Let’s don’t forget snap beans such as contender and blue lake.  You may even get lucky enough to have fresh vegetables at your Thanksgiving feast.  Baby carrots would also be a good thing to plant.  If you plant in August, you really need to be careful not to let your plants dry up.  Watch for the moisture content of the soil and irrigate regularly.  

Planting and harvesting a fall garden is a great way to utilize your garden spot all year around.  Happy planting!

Love to zoom and soar? You can picture yourself doing just that in an upcoming event in Minden.

Wings and Wheels Fly-In and Car Show will be from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, September 21 at the Minden Airport – 100 Aviation Drive.

“Anyone who wants to participate can just show up that morning,” said Interim Airport Manager Molly Fowler.

The planes that will be present are flown by local pilots from surrounding airports.

“They will be displayed where the public can easily walk through and look at all of them,” she said. “The cars will be set up the same way, to where people can easily walk and see them.’

The cars will have a registration sheet to fill out when they arrive, that shows the year/make/model of the vehicle.

“We welcome all types of vehicles to enter, classic cars, sports cars, trucks, muscles cars,” Fowler said. “There are no fees to plane or car owners. There will not be an airshow or any type of stunts. However, we will have two pilot competitions where pilots will try to drop an object out of their aircraft and hit a designated spot in the grass and there will be another competition to see if pilots can land as close as possible to a designated area on the runway.”

Fowler said business owners are welcome to set up booths.

“We just ask that they reach out ahead of time so we can make sure we have a table available,” she added. They can do so by emailing mfowler@mindenusa.com or calling the airport at (318) 371-7862. “We will have food trucks set up as well so people can grab a bite and look at everything out here. We will also have DJ’d music playing too. This event is free to everyone, we do not have any fees for car owners, plane owners, or the public. People are welcome to park in the airport parking lot and along the road, we just ask that people be respectful of neighbors’ yards.”

Fowler said she and her crew look forward to hosting this event every year.

“It is a great way for the community to get together to learn about aviation and how the airport benefits our community,” she said. “It gives people a chance to see what types of aircraft typically fly into the Minden Airport on a regular basis. Having cars on display as well adds a special touch because most enjoy looking at cool cars and it gives car owners a chance to display the hard work that they put into their vehicles.”

Serious charges stemming from a domestic disturbance incident early Wednesday morning have been filed against a 21-year-old Minden man, according to Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver.

McIver said Larry Dyess Cook, a resident of the 100 block of Clerk St., is being held for domestic abuse aggravated assault with child endangerment and domestic abuse battery with child endangerment and strangulation. Both are felony offenses.

Officers reportedly were dispatched to a McIntyre St. address shortly before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday in response  to a complaint regarding a domestic disturbance. In the call, the victim reportedly told dispatchers her boyfriend hit her and threatened her with a firearm.

Upon arrival, officers reportedly found the victim suffering from swelling, bruising and fresh lacerations to her face and neck. They also learned the suspect had left the McIntyre St. residence.

“We than made contact with the suspect at his Clerk Street address where the incident occurred,” McIver said. “The firearm that was described by the victim was found in the room that the suspect was coming from when officers first made contact with him.”

A search of state and NCIC (National Crime Information Center) records reportedly confirmed the firearm seized from the suspect was stolen.

This information has been provided by a law enforcement agency as public information. Persons named as suspects in a criminal investigation, or arrested and charged with a crime, have not been convicted of any criminal offense and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

How often have you seen someone shuffle with small steps down a sidewalk or across a street, or perhaps just to a mailbox? It’s a good possibility that they are suffering from Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Today, Occupational Therapist Melissa Wilkerson, LOTR, who has been associated with Minden Medical Center’s Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Services since 2020, is ready to help that shuffle become a more natural walk, and that challenging reach across the dining table become a hand grabbing the saltshaker.

At Minden Medical Center and its outpatient Rehab Clinic on Homer Road, Melissa specializes in disorders of the hands and upper extremities. She also “enjoys working with patients with neurological conditions – like stroke victims and those with Parkinsons.” At the end of 2020, she became certified in the “Lee Silverman Voice Treatment” Programs for Parkinson’s Disease (LSVT BIG®). The word, “big” refers to helping people with PD improve the size of movements they make. LSVT was first developed as a speech therapy program for PD, helping with voice modulation.

“I became interested in LSVT BIG® in school and was working in a skilled nursing home when I became certified. We noticed an uptick in rehab patients with Parkinsons in our facility,” Melissa recalled, pointing out that “no one is too old for LSVT BIG® and no one is too severe for the program.”

When OTs and PTs retrain PD patients, they use extensive ways to modify means of therapy. LSVT BIG® is all standardized. “What LSVT specializes in is an evidence-based treatment protocol that is very standardized – four times a week, an hour a session, for four weeks, with daily home exercises, which we provide. We provide these exercises as a part of the standard protocol.”

“Anybody with a PD diagnosis can benefit from it, regardless of their age…regardless of the severity of the disease process,” Melissa reminded again. “We can modify the ‘treatment’ for anyone at any severity or age using the LSVT BIG® ‘standardized’ protocol. That standardized protocol is well documented and well researched.”

As PD progresses, movements become smaller and softer. LSVT BIG® works (at getting improved movement),” Melissa said. “The goal of the protocol and for the patients is to learn what to do to maintain their therapy (at home).” When a PD patient is interviewed about the LSVT BIG® protocol, it is stressed that the home exercises are “a necessary part of treatment.”

LSVT BIG® even has a program for caregiver training – so literally anybody with Parkinsons can benefit from the protocol.

Even if a PD patient can’t make it to therapy four times a week “we never turn anybody away. If you are here, we will help you!” Melissa assured. It just will not be a part of the LSVT BIG® protocol.

Melissa is the owner of two Bachelor of Science degrees and a Master of Science degree, starting out at Northwestern State University, where she finished with her first BS in Chemistry in 2009. She earned her second BS at the LSU Health Sciences School of Allied Health Professions in Clinical Laboratory Science in 2013.

“I worked for one to two years (in the laboratory), but decided that wasn’t my calling,” Melissa said. “I wanted to work with people…not in a lab.” She talked to some Occupational Therapists, and they encouraged her to apply to the LSU Health Sciences School of Allied Health Professions for a degree in Occupational Therapy. She applied for the two-year Masters program in Occupational Therapy and graduated in 2018.

Her first job was in early 2019 in a Skilled Nursing Facility. “I liked working with that patient population,” Melissa said. “Their only goal was to get out of the facility and GO BACK HOME. I enjoyed it.” She also worked with some wonderful teams.

Melissa says that in her “personal” time, she is “very interested in holistic wellness and community wellness.” One of the ways she does that is through her social advocacy group, RIDE SHREVEPORT.

“We lead rides all over town. Our goals are to promote cycling safety in the community, to promote engagement in the community, cycling awareness, road laws, safety, bicycle maintenance, and, of course, community health.” All of this is done in an informal setting.

An avid outdoorsman, Melissa’s life goal is to visit all 63 of the U. S. National Parks. In the past four years she has toured 21. Despite the beauty she has seen, nothing quite compares to kayaking around Lake Bistineau and taking in the natural beauty of its cypress swamps.

An artist and a seamstress, she has a “working” costume shop and art studio in her home, which she shares with three canines and one “not so smart” cat.

If you have a diagnosis of Parkinson’s, ask your doctor about a referral to our clinic for an OT/LSVT BIG evaluation. Minden Medical Center Rehabilitation is located at 1120 Homer Rd, Minden, LA and our phone number is 318-382-7371.

BUTLER, Pa. — From the North, let me confirm, football is different in the South.

More on that later. But that dateline caught your eye, I’m sure. This is my parents’ hometown. The Jeep was invented here in 1940; there’s a monument commemorating that fact downtown on the beautiful Veterans Town Square across from the historic county courthouse. 

Butler’s best-known sports figure is Terry Hanratty, who is recognized most places for leading Notre Dame to a share of the 1966 national championship as a two-time All-America quarterback. In our neighborhood, we recall Hanratty and Joe Gilliam as “the other” QBs who battled young Terry Bradshaw for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting job. 

Brett Michaels, frontman of the great rock band Poison, is also Butler born. Bret Sychak, 61, grew up in nearby Chicora and formed a group called Paris in 1983. The following year, he and the boys changed the name to Poison, moved to the other LA (Los Angeles) and found fame in 1987 with their Look What the Cat Dragged In album (remember those?).

Five of my cousins live here. Two of their wives were at the July 13 rally at the Butler Farm Show grounds when shots rang out as former President Donald Trump was speaking. Monday afternoon, a Congressional task force toured the site. Two cousins, my brother and I visited it Saturday afternoon. It was sobering, stunning to try to understand how the shooter could have settled unimpeded by security where he did, just 20-30 yards farther than goalpost to goalpost on a football field. As Cousin Jeff said, “Swiss cheese.” No matter what your political beliefs.

Back to sports. Last Friday night was the kickoff of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League football season. Butler’s Golden Tornado bowed at home 20-14 to the Knights of Shaler Area High School.

It was not the talk of the town. And that’s my point this morning.

This week is jamboree time for LHSAA football. The college season kicked off last Saturday with a handful of “Week Zero” games, and Week 1 unfolds this weekend – Northwestern State starts Thursday night at Tulsa, then Saturday night, Louisiana Tech hosts Nicholls and Grambling goes to UL Lafayette. LSU plays USC in Las Vegas Sunday evening.

You probably knew all that. Football season is paramount in the South. Not a recent development. 

It’s just different elsewhere, even in the Allegheny Mountains. Driving downtown in Butler, city population 13,000, you don’t see any signs indicating excitement about the Golden Tornado. This is western Pennsylvania, legendary for the quality and intensity of prep football. 

Maybe it’s the fairly humid 86-degree weather today. Not exactly what we saw in the 1983 Tom Cruise movie All The Right Moves, focused on a high school football standout in a steel town much like Butler.

These people do love their football. Saturday in the tree-shrouded valley of Memorial Park, above a babbling creek, there was a day of “midget” football with kids in full gear running spread offenses, and little girls in cheerleader outfits lining the sidelines. The Steelers’ QB scramble is a much hotter topic than Pirates baseball – unless Paul Skenes is due to start. 

The excitement level just reaches a higher plane in area code 318.

We’ll see some saucy jamboree pairings this weekend; and every local prep team and fan base will be juiced up full throttle even for preseason battles. It’s going to somehow ramp up a notch next weekend for the regular-season kickoffs. If you don’t have a favorite to cheer, there’s still plenty to savor, from the bands and spirit groups to the talent on the fields and some high-caliber matchups.

LSU, Grambling, Tech and Northwestern are about to tee it up.

It’s football season in the South. It just doesn’t get better than this.
