There was a “standing-room-only” crowd packed into the Krewe des Ambassadeurs’ den on Ryan’s Way in Minden Saturday, Sept. 27. The reason? Bingo, of course! Members of the Krewe grilled burgers and dogs prior to the event starting at 6 p.m. The highlight of the evening was the “split pot,” which saw $465 going to Sarah Whitney (pictured), Queen IX of the Nemesis Krewe from Springhill.

This has been the year of the mole. Our yard is working on the second coming of the moles this year. You never see one of the little buggers but you could break an ankle stepping in the run.
There are several ways to try to get rid of them. We either use the poison moleworms or the mole and gopher gassers. I liked the gopher gassers best because of the smoke that comes out of the ground. You find a run where the moles have digging around and light the gas bomb and put one in each end of the run. It looks and smells like sulfur. The gas leaks out of the soil and hopefully the mole will either run from it or inhale it and die. The bag says it will also get rid of gophers, skunks, and squirrels. A dead mole does not hurt my feelings at all. He makes a great mess in the yard. The moleworms really resemble a worm. It is made of bromethalin. I would not want to use this when you have pets around.
Another got product is called Mole Gel Bait. It comes in a tub that you inject into the run. Again I would not use around pets. It contains warfarin, which is an old type of rat bait.
My husband likes the gassers best. I hate to admit it but it makes you feel like you are doing some good. I guess we have a little bad attitude about killing the pest that try to take of our yard. Good hunting.

A 25-year-old Minden woman is being held on a domestic abuse charge after she allegedly hurled a pair of scissors at her husband during a dispute at a local residence Monday.
Victoria Lanette Dowell reportedly has been booked into the parish jail on one count of domestic abuse battery with child endangerment. Her bond has been set at $5,000.
Minden officers reportedly arrived at the home in the 100 block of Dowell St. where they learned the woman had allegedly poured water on her husband, then threw a pair of scissors at him. Officers found the scissors lodged in a wall behind the chair in which the victim had been seated.
Officers reportedly also learned the couple’s four-year-old daughter was inside the residence when the incident occurred.

Phillip’s Cottage, a multi-bedroom/bath, two-storied house located at 217 West Union Street in Minden, is scheduled to open this weekend as a transitional place of living for young women with children who have recently graduated from the Teen Challenge program.
The cottage was purchased and renovated by Sara McDaniel of simplysoutherncottage.com fame, as well as an area short-term rental host and Minden Stays property owner.
Sara’s idea of purchasing, renovating and dedicating the home came shortly after the sudden death of her father, Phillip Carroll, in June of 2023. Carroll was a 40-year teacher and guidance counselor for the Webster Parish School Board, a veteran of the Vietnam war, and a devout Christian, serving in the ministry since his early 20’s.
Teen Challenge is a faith-based residential program that benefits individuals struggling with addiction and other life-controlling issues. Phillip’s Cottage will start out housing two graduates of Teen Challenge, along with their children. On their way to full independence, they will be allowed to live in the cottage from a year to 18 months.
(Pictured) Phillips Cottage was open for tours this past Sunday, Sept. 28, 2025. The property is completely remodeled and landscaped, with a few minor interior exceptions, and the back yard. Donations toward the purchase of the house are still welcome! (Photos by Marilyn Miller)

The community of Minden gathered Tuesday afternoon at Minden Medical Center to honor the life and legacy of Peyton Peevy with a solemn ‘Walk of Honor.’
On Friday evening, September 26, Peyton collapsed at home and was rushed to Minden Medical Center, where doctors determined he had suffered a stroke from a massive brain bleed. He was admitted to the ICU, but doctors later confirmed there was no brain activity. In a final act of kindness and love, Peyton’s family made the decision to pursue organ donation so that others could live through his legacy.
As part of that journey, hospital staff, family and friends gathered in the halls of the hospital together during the ‘Walk of Honor.’ The procession not only marked the profound grief of a community but also celebrated Peyton’s life and the lasting impact he will have through the gift of organ donation.
The Peevy family shared that they hope Peyton’s story inspires others to live generously and consider the lifesaving impact of organ donation.

Crispy, golden Brussels sprouts are just a few steps away with this easy air fryer recipe. A short soak in warm water helps the sprouts cook evenly, while a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper enhance their natural flavor. The air fryer creates a crisp texture without needing much oil, making this a healthier side dish option. Shake the basket a few times during cooking to get that perfect crunch on all sides. For a little extra flavor, top with a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.

September 14, 1945 – September 30, 2025
William Douglas “Bill” Dubois entered this world on September 14, 1945, to loving Christian parents Fritz and Marie Dubois in Omaha, Nebraska. His family ultimately moved to Shreveport, Louisiana where he was a proud 1963 graduate of C.E. Byrd High School. He called Shreveport home until he married the love of his life, Dorothy “Tuffy” Welch Dubois, in the spring of 1992 and adopted a quiet country life in Dubberly, Louisiana in Webster Parish.
All who knew Bill described him as the ultimate quiet Southern gentleman who would go out of his way to be kind and help others even if it meant causing an inconvenience for himself. His parents taught him at an early age the value of hard work and integrity and he carried those values with him in every aspect of his life until his death on September 30, 2025. He was a man who believed in serving his God, being honest, keeping his word, and practicing humility which he displayed to family and friends until the very end of his life.
As a professional salesman, Bill had the opportunity to travel the country and meet hundreds of people who were not only his clients, but through the years, became his friends and he kept in touch with many of them, even in his retirement. He was rewarded for his work ethic numerous times with awards and accolades but remained quiet and humble and never boastful when others applauded him for the outstanding work he accomplished. During his free time, he enjoyed fishing, reading, traveling, watching and researching historical stories of World War II, doting on his four-legged friends, and listening to music. He especially loved spending time with his granddaughter, Anna Claire, discussing current events and politics and taught her at a very young age to think independently and not to be afraid to speak her own thoughts and opinions about what was going on in the world. Those discussions about world events continued even when he struggled to get just the right words together, but they had a deep understanding of one another and when the words wouldn’t come, the two of them could find a way to laugh and lighten the mood!
During the last years of his life, Bill’s health suffered greatly and his wife, Tuffy, took excellent care of him and he was always surrounded by his loved ones to keep him in good spirits even on days when he was struggling. The family cannot thank the care team of Passages Hospice enough for their love and support during this time as well as the staff and caregivers at Willow Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for taking such excellent care of him during his last days.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Fritz and Marie Dubois as well as his sister, Ann Dubois. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Tuffy, of Dubberly, Louisiana, brother Jack Dubois of Cheyenne, Wyoming (Fitri) as well as daughter Cheryl Buckner (Barry) of Shreveport, Louisiana and sons, Scott Tucker (Robin) of Dubberly, Louisiana, and Mike Tucker (June) of Goshen, Indiana. He leaves to cherish his memory three grandchildren: Anna Claire Tucker of Bossier City, Louisiana, Maxwell Robinson of Shreveport, Louisiana and Dakota Buckner of Shreveport, Louisiana as well as one great-grandchild, Spencer Robinson. He also was blessed to have a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him greatly.
A memorial service will be held at Minden Presbyterian Church in Minden, Louisiana on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bill’s pastor, Rev. Keith Marriott, Minden Presbyterian Church, will conduct the service as he and Bill were not only brothers in Christ, but also very good friends.
Bill would want everyone who knew him to take comfort in the words of his Heavenly Father as he relied on those words daily throughout his life. A verse that we know he might share with us if he could, can be found in the book of Job 19: 25-27, “I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end, He will stand on the earth. And, after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh, I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes – I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”
In lieu of flowers, the family asks if anyone would like to donate, please consider making a donation to the Minden Presbyterian Aid Fund, Minden, Louisiana.
Love is a word spoken by many but shown by few. What does love have to do with it? Love has everything to do with it. We should love God and love others like God loves us.
Love is the special ingredient that builds lasting relationships.
Love is what’s needed in our world today. There’s so much chaos and hate going on, but the love of Jesus is what’s needed. Love is the special ingredient.
God is love. He is the greatest example.
Love is evidence of one truly being a child of God. Saying I love you and not demonstrating it is just like trying to drive a car without any gas.
John 13:35 says
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Love is one of God’s perfect and eternal attributes, and John explains that the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in Him.
However, John also warns that if someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Love is patient, Love is kind, Love is not an excuse to sin and live unrighteous lives, but because God so loved us, He gives us chances after chances to repent and live for Him. God loves the sinner but hates sin.
According to John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God had so much love for sinners like us that he sacrificed his only begotten Son that we can be saved and have eternal life.
We must believe that Jesus died and that He rose on the third day with all power.
Love is the special ingredient that brings joy to a broken heart. Love is the ingredient that gives the lost hope to be saved. Love is the special ingredient that causes you to forgive.
(Example): I like baking cakes occasionally. When preparing, I have to mix the ingredients together in a bowl before I can bake it. If I don’t put that one special ingredient in it, the cake will not be moist and rise like it should.
Eggs are high liquid ingredient which adds moisture to the cake batter and helps maintain it during baking the special ingredients that help.
With that being said, let all we do be done in love. Love is the special ingredient that the world needs to see in Gods children so that we can be the light in a dark world. We overcome evil with good. We overcome hate with love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Love is the special ingredient
Be Encouraged
All Glory goes to God.
Prayer: Father, we thank you for your grace and mercy. Lord, help us to live a humble life that’s pleasing to you. Help us to love in action and not just in words. Forgive us for our sins known and unknown. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
(LaTina DeLoach, is a devoted wife and mother who shares these words in hopes of uplifting those who read what God writes through her.)
