“Some trucks are comingout of Florida and he planson putting two new addi-tional trucks on site.”

The contract expires in2019.

Sewer rates will also begoing up by $2.95 if thebudget passes, Davis said.If this passes, it will raiseabout $25,000 in revenue,he added.

Recreation fees will alsobe going up this comingfiscal year. If passed, sports

fees for early registrationwill go to $30 for football,$10 for basketball, $15 forsoccer, baseball and soft-ball. For those who registerlate, fees will double.

Minden Police ChiefSteve Cropper is asking forvehicles to round out hisfleet. Cropper originallyasked for five vehicles,three new patrol units andtwo used vehicles – one forthe K9 unit and another fordetectives. That numberwas whittled down to threevehicles – one new patrolunit to replace the onetotaled earlier this year,

and the two used vehicles. “The K9 unit is probably

in worse shape than thedetectives’ unit,” Croppersaid. “TheK9 does nothave apolice pack-age. It’s justa standardSUV, and it’sgot a lot ofmiles on itnow. It’s inthe shopconstantly.”

The police departmenthas a total of 18 cars, 14 ofwhich are patrol units. If

the proposed budget pass-es, the chief will get onenew vehicle and one usedvehicle.

Streets were another bigtopic of Tuesday’s meeting.Public Works DirectorGeorge Rolfe says it wouldbe better this year to repairpotholes in the city’sstreets rather than overlay.He says if they can makerepairs this year, next fiscalyear they can begin over-lays.

“Realistically, I think weneed to concentrate onrepairs,” he said. “I wouldrather see the money spent

on repairs so that next yearwe can do more overlays.We’ve got a lot of isolatedareas that need repairs.”

Out of $750,000, Rolferequested half the moneygo to the water departmentand the other half go toelectric with some of thatgoing to tree trimming.

Also in the proposedbudget will be a two per-cent longevity raise acrossthe board. The fire depart-ment already gets amandatory two percentraise, so they will not seean additional two percent.

At the August 3 meeting,

draft ordinances will needto be presented to thecouncil for any fee increas-es, which would go intoeffect with the new budgetyear. The proposed budgetwill need to be passed atthe Sept. 8 meeting so itwill go into effect by Oct. 1.

Beginning with a$750,000 overage, councilmembers and departmentheads were able to shaveaway almost $200,000 fromthat. The remainingapproximate $500,000 willcome from the city’sreserves to balance thebudget, Davis said.

"Jeff is the Republicanin the race. I urge, and thestate party urges, allRepublicans and all con-servatives in Louisiana tocast their vote for JeffLandry," Villere said.

Pressed to explain whyCaldwell wasn't worthy ofthe party's support for athird term and whyLandry instead wasfavored, Villere providedfew specifics. He saidLandry had "better qualifi-cations" and was "themost conservative" candi-

date.Landry said he "can do

a much better job in theattorney general's office."When asked to contrasthimself from Caldwell,Landry saidhe'll providemorespecifics asthe Oct. 24electionnears.

Caldwellissued astatementTuesdaysaying the endorsement"doesn't change any-thing."

"The state party hasnever endorsed me before,so it might have been badluck to get it this time," hesaid.

He also took a dig atLandry: "It's unnerving tome that the statewideRepublican Party wouldeven think about endors-ing someone who hasnever tried a civil or crimi-nal case in court. I'm notsure, really, what his quali-fications are."

With the endorsement,the state GOP can nowcoordinate with Landry'scampaign, spend moneyto support his candidacyand share its resourcesand staff to bolster hiselection effort.

Attorney general since2008, Caldwell was a dis-trict attorney in northeastLouisiana for 29 yearsbefore his electionstatewide. He jumped tothe GOP in 2011, as he was

running for a second termin a state trending increas-ingly Republican. Caldwelldescribed the party asmore in line with his polit-ical beliefs.

Since then, he's sup-ported legal challenges toPresident Barack Obama'shealth overhaul, environ-mental policies and execu-tive order seeking to pro-tect people living in theUnited States illegally fromdeportation.

But Caldwell's facedrepeated criticism thathe's not conservativeenough and that his moveto the GOP was a ruse.Widely circulated byRepublicans was Cald-well's praise for DemocratMary Landrieu, before shewas defeated last year for

re-election to the U.S. Sen-ate.

"Lifelong DemocratBuddy Caldwell onlyswitched Republican tosave his public, taxpayer-funded, job," Christian Gil,a member of the Republi-can Party's state centralcommittee from St. MaryParish, wrote in a letterurging committee mem-bers to support Landry.

Party support forLandry comes as thefundraising competitiontightens.

In campaign fundrais-ing documents filed thisweek, Landry reportedhaving nearly $1.4 millionin his campaign account,after kicking in $350,000 ofhis own money. Caldwellclosed the quarter with

nearly $1.1 million cash onhand, after loaning hiscampaign $200,000.

A third Republican con-tender in the race, PortAllen attorney MartyMaley, is far behind infundraising, with only$9,500 in his campaignaccount.

To get the endorse-ment, Landry lobbiedmembers of the GOP statecentral committee, theparty's governing body. Amajority of the memberssubmitted writtenrequests asking for theseven-member party exec-utive committee to sup-port Landry. The vote ofthe executive committeewas unanimous, Villeresaid.

DETROIT— In the age ofApple's CarPlay, a lot ofcars on the road still havetape decks.

The average vehicle inthe U.S. is now a record11.5 years old, according toconsulting firm IHS Auto-motive, a sign of theincreased reliability oftoday's vehicles and thelingering impact of thesharp drop in new car salesduring the recession.

Drivers behind thewheel of older cars aren'tenjoying some of the latestadvanced safety features orinfotainment systems thateffectively turn cars into

cellphones on wheels.Then again, they don'thave to worry about hack-ers finding their way in tothe car's computer net-work through the cassetteor CD player.

IHS said U.S. registra-tions grew to a record 257.9million cars and trucks, up2 percent from a year earli-er.

The average age of vehi-cles has been climbingsteadily since IHS begantracking the number in2002. As quality and relia-bility have improved, peo-ple have been holding onto their cars and trucks for

longer. The average lengthof ownership for a newvehicle is now almost 6.5years, IHS said. For a usedvehicle, it's five years.

Cars and trucks nowhave the same average age,says Mark Seng, IHS Auto-motive's global aftermar-ket practice leader. Formany years, cars hadshorter lifespans thantrucks, but their qualityhas now caught up.

Experts say there's norule for how long to holdon to an old car or truck. Acar with good reliabilitycan go for 200,000 miles ormore, which can easily last

a decade for somemotorists, says Doug Love,a spokesman for Con-sumer Reports.

The magazine doesn'trecommend driving oldercars without two key safetyfeatures introduced morethan a decade ago: elec-tronic stability control andside curtain air bags.

The aging car popula-tion could mean thatAmericans will be slow toadapt safety and semi-autonomous features thathave car company execu-tives and experts heraldinga new age of the automo-bile. Adaptive cruise con-trol arrived in the U.S. mar-

ket in 2006, for example,but nine years later only 6percent of all cars have it,according to a recentreport from Boston Con-sulting Group. It will alsotake longer for much-hyped advances likeCarPlay — which givesdrivers access to their appsthrough the dashboard —to become commonplace.

But Seng says the autoindustry should take heart.Even though the averagevehicle age shows no signof reversing, it is starting toplateau, since buyers havereturned to the car marketin big numbers. Sales ofnew cars rose from 12.7

million in 2011 to 16.5 mil-lion last year and areexpected to reach orexceed 17 million this year.IHS thinks the averagevehicle age will hit 11.6years in 2016 but won'tclimb to 11.7 years until2018.

Seng says that's a morenormal rate than theindustry saw in the yearsafter the recession. Vehicleage increased rapidlybetween 2008 and 2013,since more people werekeeping older cars. In 2008,the average age of cars andtrucks in the U.S. was 10years; by 2013, it was 11.4years, or 14 percent higher.

“When she gets to herapartment, they are argu-ing and Winston pulls out a.38 pistol and points it atthe 16 year old and threat-ens to kill her,” Croppersaid. “Winston calls themom of the daughter’sboyfriend during this alter-cation and she hears him

threatening to kill the 16year old and calls 911.”

Winston’s wife alsocalled 911 to report theincident, Cropper said.

As Winston’s wife wastrying to intervene in theargument, Winston hit herin the mouth using his fist,causing physical injury,according to the policereport.

Cropper says thedomestic abuse batterywith child endangermentcharge stems from whenhe hit his wife in the face;the domestic abuse aggra-vated assault with child

endangerment is fromWinston pointing a pistolat the 16 year old whileholding the infant andthreatening to kill her.

A .38 caliber Rossi Armshandgun was recovered atthe scene and Winstonmay have been intoxicatedduring the incident, Crop-per said.

ARRESTContinued from page 1

JUANITA AGANSpecial to the Press-Herald

The first years after ourmarriage in 1948, it workedout just fine to have onlyone car because we bothworked for Andress MotorsCompany. But the summerof 1951, a new factor cameinto being. We wereexpecting a baby in Marchof 1952. Iworked untilN o v e m b e rof 1951before goinghome toawait thebirth of ourfirst child.We hadagreed that Iwould not go back to workbut would be a full time"stay at home" momma.

It was so hard after 11years keeping books thereat Andress to just go homeand be idle. My motherlived with us and she hadalways done the cookingand continued to cook. Ifelt like I was encroachingon her territory eventhough it was MY kitchen. Iwould watch the calendarand think of the "Ten DayReport" that I had com-piled, or I would look at thecalendar and think that Imust get the financialstatement out, preferablybefore the 6th of themonth. I would rememberthe sales tax report thatmust be paid by the 21st ofeach month, and the daily

report for Mr. Andress.The only way that I had

transportation to get any-where was to take J. C. towork and go back for himat lunch, and some daystake him back after lunchand pick him up when hiswork day was over. Thatwas hard because I wasgetting cumber-some as the timeapproached forthe baby's birth.

Preparationsfor the baby tooka lot of time, get-ting the bassinetready, the babybed, the layette,and after my bigshower writingall those thank-you notes, butstill I felt shut offfrom the officethat I hadworked in since Iwas 17(I wouldbe 29 that sum-mer of 1952.)

There wereseveral monthsafter the baby's arrival thatI was too busy to reallyneed the car. I had somuch to do for her as wellas canning and putting upjelly. Back then I did notjust put up the juice in thefreezer and make fresh jellyall throughout the winteras I do now. I made up allthe jelly for a year at onetime, put it in jars andstored it. And it was time toput up vegetables for thefreezer.

Soon I realized that we

desperately needed a sec-ond car. However ourincome was cut in halfwhen I went home, and wewere still paying a note onthe new Ford we hadbought the month beforewe found out about thebaby being on the way. Iwould roll the stroller

around our yardwith Suzanneand wish that Icould go totown, to thestore, to thelibrary, to churchand to so manythings. But it wastoo hard to takeJ. C. back andforth to workwith the baby.

And then wemade one of thebest purchasewe ever made.Harry Miller hada fishing car. Itwas severalshades of blue-green, so faded,and discolored.

It was a 1940 Ford Fordor.Even though it was "ugly ashomemade sin" it ran real-ly well as Harry had kept itup. He was buying a pick-up truck for himself andwanted to sell the oldjalopy. He only asked $100for the old car, and the carwas ours. That was aboutthe best thing we couldhave done because J. C.took that car to work, andwhen he had to go backand let someone haveparts at night or on the

weekend, he used the oldFord. He just went out ofthe goodness of his heartbecause we were not fur-nished transportation forhim to go back for cus-tomers in the night, norwas he given extra moneyfor the time spent. But nowwe were a two car family!!!!It was just an old car, thir-teen years old, but it wasthe greatest luxury for us,and we were so grateful toHarry Miller for selling it tous so cheaply.

In later years when itwas Bolen-Speede Ford,Mr. Speede furnished J. C.a new pickup truck to drivehome and to use to sellparts after hours when thedealership was closed. Andhe furnished me a new careach year and even paidthe insurance on it. Mr. J.C. Johnson who boughtout the dealership, alsofurnished J. C. a pickuptruck to drive and we wereable to sell the old Ford. Ithad served its purposewell, and brought memany hours of happinessas I could take Suzanneand John to town, to Sun-beams, and later to the lit-tle choirs and piano les-sons. If I had to go to thegrocery store, I could.

When Suzanne was twoand out of diapers, I hadthe opportunity to buy adryer that had been ademonstrator. That wasthe next best purchase weever made. It had been sohard to go down the highback steps and hang

clothes on the clothes line.In wet winter weather weput a rack over the floorfurnace to get diapers dry.Now I could wash at anytime of the day or nightand in any kind of weatherand dry my clothes. A fewyears later when our sonwas born I really utilizedthat dryer as I could washdiapers easily and drythem. (That was before thepaper diapers that theyoung mothers use today.They do not know howwonderful that is to nothave to wash dozens ofdiapers each day, dry andfold them.)

I think the used dryercost $167.00, and coupledwith the $100 second car Iknow that those were thebest purchases we evermade.

Later, when my motherbecame bedridden, and Ioften had to wash sevensets of bed linens each dayfor her bed, and almostforty diapers for her eachday, I thanked God overand again for being able towash and dry clothes andbed linens at any hour ofthe day or night during hernineteen years of illness,seven of which was in ahospital bed here in ourhome. Being able to keepher clean and dry prevent-ed bed sores. In all thosenineteen years she nevergot a bed sore.

I have written of thegifts my brother-in-lawgave his wife - a huge dia-mond princess ring with

three half carat diamonds,and a mink cape (not astole but a cape), but Iknow that my dryer andour old Ford brought me somuch happiness that Iwouldn't swap my useddryer or my 1940 Ford foreither of her gifts. I would-n't change those memoriesfor anything.

Sometimes when youthink the world is notgoing just like you wouldlike it to go, stop and thinkback at the goodness ofGod, of the blessings thatyou have received, andremember with me thesimple things that othersmight take for granted butthey meant so much to me.God does supply all yourneeds, maybe not all thethings you might want, butyour needs. He has sup-plied mine, over and abun-dantly. I recently read abook by Muriel Jensonabout a girl named MariahMercer who made handpainted plaques to sell. Herfavorite verse on one of herplaques read "LIVE WELL,LAUGH OFTEN, LOVEMUCH.' And I would add"THANK GOD." Try it, itworks!!!!!!!!!!

SPRINGHILL - Withfootball season in sight, thethe top player in WebsterParish and one of the topplayers in the country isready to roll following abusy summer on the campcircuit.

Devin White has been onall over the country this sum-mer, including stops inBeaverton, Oregon, for theOpening and Baltimore forthe the Rivals Five StarChallenge.

“I visited Alabama, LSU,Florida State, Texas A&M,Arkansas, Ole Miss andTCU,” White said. “Thenthe Opening was one of thebest experiences of my life.If I could do that every weekI would.”

But with his busy sum-mer coming to a close, the 6-foot, 258-pound athlete islooking forward to his seniorseason at North Webster andgetting the Knights to theMercedes-Benz Superdomecome December.

“We’ve made some big

runs, but I’m trying to getover that hump and get to thedome,” said White.

“I’ve got a lot of love forNorth Webster andSpringhill. I passed on agreat opportunity to go playat the IMG Academy inFlorida. My mom graduatedfrom Springhill so I want tokeep that in the family. I justwant to do everything I canhere.”

White’s good friend andformer Calvary Baptist quar-terback Shea Pattersonrecently left the state forIMG Academy. Patterson isan Ole Miss commit.

With all the hype sur-rounding White, football is ateam sport, and he said theKnights will have plenty ofother firepower this year.

“Ke’Untra Gipson is asenior linebacker,” Whitesaid. “He is dominant ondefense and special teams.Xavious Eason at running-back and on special teams,Rico Gonzalez at bothlinebacker and defensive endis going to make some playsfor us. Then there’s ConroeMcMullan at kicker; healways puts us in good posi-tion and Dallas Lay on theline is a four year starter likeme and Conroe.”

Of those Knights, Whiteis the only one to land amagazine cover this fall.

When the well-knownLouisiana FootballMagazine hits stands at thebeginning of August. White

will be in the center of it all,literally.

“It was crazy,” Whitesaid. “To be there as one ofthe top players in the state ofLouisiana is a blessing.When they called me aboutit I cleared my plans to gobecause that’s a once in alifetime opportunity.”

On the recruiting front,White remains a coveted tar-get, and with the recentannouncement of his top 10,it seems he’s likely to landsomewhere in theSoutheastern Conference.

“With LSU, they giveyou the home state pitch andtheir running backs coachFrank Wilson is second tonone,” White said. “AtArkansas they like big run-ning backs and running theball, plus they have thebiggest offensive line in theworld. My cousin JaredCornelius is there so I wouldhave someone to take meunder their wing and mentorme. I really like their depthchart situation too.”

“Alabama, they were oneof the first schools to offerme my freshmen year. Theyrecently had another runningback kicked off the team andthey have some guys whomay leave after this year sothe depth chart is good theiras well.”

The last of the SECschools thought to be seri-ously in it for White is OleMiss.

“I think Ole Miss has the

best pitch you could throwat a recruit,” White said.“Your best friend (Patterson)is going to be there. I have agood relationship withcoach Shawn Patterson aswell and I like that coachHugh Freeze’s program isall about family. They’vealready said I can play eitherside of the ball, it’s basically

on me.”With his senior season set

to slow the recruiting pro-cess for awhile, White is stillfirm on his decision to waitfor National Signing Day tomake a choice.

“On National SigningDay, I want the ESPN cam-eras in Springhill at NorthWebster.”

Nationals landPapelbon in trade

NFL

Eric Berry cleared forpractice after scare

MIAMI (AP) — TheWashington Nationalshave a new closer, landingAll-Star JonathanPapelbon from thePhiladelphia Phillies.

That means their newlydemoted closer isn't happy.

And the NL East race isshaping up to be a wholelot of fun down the stretch.

On the night theNationals got Jayson Werthand Ryan Zimmermanback from long stints onthe disabled list, they alsolanded Papelbon from thePhillies and wasted no timeannouncing that he will betaking over the closerduties from Drew Storen. Itdidn't help Washington anyTuesday night, as theNationals lost to the MiamiMarlins 4-1.

Washington's loss, com-bined with the New YorkMets' win over San Diego,cut the Nationals' lead inthe NL East to one game.

"All-Star closer, been inpressure situations hiswhole career, so we'rehappy to have him,"Nationals manager MattWilliams said of Papelbon.

It's not a unanimousopinion.

Nationals general man-ager Mike Rizzo said hetalked to Storen about thetrade and indicated that thecloser who converted 29 of31 chances for Washingtonthis year was taking it well.Storen offered a differentperspective postgame.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP)— Eight months after gettingthe stunning news that he hadcancer, Chiefs Pro Bowlsafety was expected back onthe practice field Wednesday,a day after doctors gave himthe all-clear.

The Chiefs medical staffand his own doctors put himthrough a battery of testsTuesday and the team laterannounced he would joinquarterbacks, rookies andselect injured players for thefirst practice of training campon the campus of MissouriWestern State University.Berry was scheduled tospeak to reporters after prac-tice.

Berry was diagnosed withHodgkin's disease lastDecember, shortly after com-plaining of pain in his chestfollowing a game againstOakland. He was treated atEmory University in Atlantaalmost immediately, andwent through the final roundof treatment in June.

"He's kept himself ingood shape, believe it or not,"Chiefs coach Andy Reid saidearlier Tuesday, before Berrywas cleared to return. "He'sreally done a good job there."

Hodgkin's disease, alsocalled Hodgkin's lymphoma,is a cancer of the immunesystem that makes up about 8percent of all diagnosed lym-phomas. According to theNational Cancer Institute,more than 9,000 people willbe diagnosed with it in theUnited States this year.

The survival rate in 1960was about 40 percent, butadvancements in medicinecombined with earlier detec-tions have increased the sur-vival rate to more than 80percent.

Minden Dixie Youth brings home special award

H I G H S C H O O L F O O T B A L L

White focused on knights

Brady respondsN F L

The 11-12 year old Minden Dixie YouthContinental All-Stars brought home a very presti-gious award following the South Regional State

tournament that was held last week. After battlingtheir way through four games in the state tourna-ment, held in Ponchatoula, the Continentals fin-

ished in third place, and while they may not havebrought home the state championship trophy,they were able to depart with the Jim QuidleySportsmanship Award. Mr. Quidley was a life-

time Dixie member who started the award to rec-ognize outstanding players and their exceptionalattitudes on the field. It is an honor to receive theaward voted on by board members, chairpersons,

and other coaches. The vote was a unanimousdecision that Minden deserved to bring it home.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.(AP) — Tom Brady vowed tofight his four-game suspen-sion for the scandal known asDeflategate, writingWednesday in a 507-wordFacebook post: "I did nothingwrong, and no one in thePatriots organization dideither."

Breaking his silence a dayafter NFL CommissionerRoger Goodell upheld thepunishment, Brady alsodenied destroying his cell-phone to keep it out of thehands of investigators.

"To suggest that Idestroyed a phone to avoidgiving the NFL information itrequested is completelywrong," the three-time SuperBowl MVP said. "There is no'smoking gun' and this contro-versy is manufactured to dis-tract from the fact they havezero evidence of wrongdo-ing."

Brady was suspended fourgames and the team wasdocked $1 million and two

draft picks after the leaguefound improperly inflatedfootballs were used in theAFC championship gameagainst the Indianapolis Colts.Investigator Ted Wells zeroedin on two equipment man-agers — one who called him-self "The Deflator" — andsaid Brady was "at least gen-erally aware" of the illegaldeflation scheme.

Brady, who had earlierdenied cheating accusationswith the tepid "I don't thinkso," more forcefully defendedhimself in the Facebook post,claiming he cooperated withthe investigation exceptwhere doing so would haveset a bad precedent for hisunion brethren.

"I respect theCommissioners authority, buthe also has to respect the (col-lective bargaining agreement)and my rights as a private cit-izen," Brady wrote. "I will notallow my unfair discipline tobecome a precedent for otherNFL players without a fight."
