From 2-4, CentralBounces Back toDistrict ChampionPlaying Big Dogs

CENTRAL — Central High School will travel to Covington Friday to play the No. 1 5A football team in the state — the St. Paul’s Wolves. Although they are the under-dogs, Central head coach Doug Dotson said the Wildcats are ready for the showdown. St. Paul’s plays power football, strictly traditional, and old school. The key for a Central victory would be controlling the run and stopping the big pass play. “The longer we have the ball on offense, the better we’re going to do,” Dot-

son said. “We won’t be able to make mis-takes. We can’t give them any-thing. We’ll need mistake-free football. No fumbles, no dropped inter-ceptions.” St. Paul’s offense looks a lot like what we saw from Den-ham Springs, while the defense is a lot like St. Thomas More, minus

CENTRAL — When it comes to choosing an All-District quarter-back in District 4-5A, the all-round best quarterback might be over-looked. The district is loaded with quar-terback talent this year — Scot-landville’s Kimani Smith, Zach-ary’s Mason Pace, and Denham Springs’ Kyle Cedotal. They all sport big numbers for the season. Yet, the best all-round fieldgeneral may well be someone the

sportswriters haven’t much noticed this year — Central High School’s

Brett Courville. He’s probably the district’s best athlete and the clutch performer who is most likely towinunderfire. Central coach Doug Dodson

says, “He’s smart, tough, versatile,

CENTRAL — Central voters will face a short ballot on Saturday, Nov. 19 with runoff for Parish Cor-oner and for the 6th District seat on the State Board of Elementary Education (BESE). And there is a very unusual prop-osition on the ballot: The Central Community School Board actually wants approval to reduce taxes. Two years ago Central voters ap-proved a 1/2-cent sales tax increase to build the new school complex, but the sales tax has no expiration date. The school board wants the tax to expire when the school com-plex is paid off. Board member Will Easley said the election will keep faith with the voters of Central.

CENTRAL VETERANS were honored last week by the Republican Women’s Club of Cen-tral. Shown are Charles Hinton, Benjamin Conine, Raymond Lobell, and Vernon Procell.

Truly believing that patriotism and love of country have no age lim-its, Earl Colbey, who was born in 1930, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1944 during World War II. He served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid for two years. Dur-ing this time, the Intrepid fought to liberate the Philippines and in the battle for Okinawa. In 1946, when the Navy discov-ered that Colbey, a two-year vet-eran, was only 16, they booted him out. Then in 1948, while still only 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, two years before the Korean War. When that war broke out in May 1950, Colbey had just reached 20. OnJune29,hevolunteeredtofightin Korea and less than a week later he was in Korea and being strafed

by North Korean planes. On July 5, his position was attacked by 54 North Korean tanks. The 500 GI’s were overrun by more than 35,000 North Koreans. He was captured July 6. Tiger Death March. A total of 889 captives were taken to ManPo and turned over to a policeman whom they nicknamed the Tiger. He led the prisoners on a brutal 150-mile death march. Anyone who was too sick or injured to con-tinue was killed on the spot. The others were subjected to cruelty and inhumane treatment which was made even worse by the inde-

scribable cold. Men had no food, no medicine, no winter clothing, and virtually no heat. One year later, when the Chi-nese took control, there were only 234 prisoners still alive. Earl had dropped from 198 pounds to 118, but he was happy just to be alive. The Chinese were not as cruel, but subjected them to mental tor-ture and attempted to brainwash them. More than three years after his capture, he was repatriated. He weighed 145 pounds. Colbey said he never resented the treatment he received at the

hands of the North Koreans or the Chinese. But he said he did resent the treatment the veterans received at the hands of the American peo-ple after his return. He said they were not properly cared for and were repeatedly told, “We cannot help you.” But later he said the men who had fought and suffered so much were recognized by the Veterans Administration and given better at-tention. After the war, Earl Colbey moved to the Central area. His grandson is Rev. Tony Spell, pastor of Life Tabernacle Church on Hooper. Like so many veterans, Earl Col-bey was a true American patriot, whosesacrificeshelpedAmericanslive in peace and freedom.

Recommendations forNov. 19, 2011 Election

The Central Community School Board has proposed limiting the du-ration of the current 1/2-cent sales tax, which is dedicated to school facilities and improvements. At present, the tax is unlimited and will be imposed indefinitely intothe future. The proposal would end the tax, once the bonds for the new school are paid off. We rec-ommend voting YES.

Central School Tax

Some states impose expensive transfer fees when people buy or sell real estate. This amendment to the Louisiana Constitution would prohibit such fees being imposed in Louisiana. The real estate in-dustry in the state is supporting the measure as a preventative. We rec-ommend voting YES.

BooktoProfileLouisianaAthletesWhoGiveBack BATON ROUGE — When you think about Louisiana’s sports legends and heroes, a long list comes to mind. But have you ever wondered what our state’s greatest athletes are doing to help out their fellow man? BIC Media Solutions has begun work on its latest book, “Louisi-

ana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy.” More than a book about Louisi-ana sports heroes, this unique pub-lication will celebrate our sports champions, their life stories, ath-letic accomplishments, and most importantly, highlight their efforts to make the world a better place

through faith, personal contribu-tions, foundations, nonprofit andbenevolent activities. Only the top 50 sports legends and heroes will be featured, and Louisiana’s sports fansareneededtohelpfindthem. Fans are encouraged to nominate their sports hero, past or present, for consideration in the first edi-

tion of “Louisiana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy.” In order to qualify, the Louisiana sports legend should A) have been born, played or coached in Loui-siana and B) have contributed or is contributing to his community. For nomination forms and an over-view of the selection process, go to www.BICheroes.com. BIC Alliance founder and CEO Earl Heard is pleased to see his concept come to life, “Today’s he-roes are tomorrow’s legends, not justontheplayingfieldbutalsointhe game of life,” Heard said. An advisory panel of sports experts has been assembled to evaluate all nominations received. Initial nominees include: Paul Di-etzel, Roger Cador, Sue Gunter, Gayle Hatch, Warrick Dunn, John-ny Robinson, Pete Maravich, Ed-die Robinson, Billy Cannon, Brian Kinchen, Glen “Big Baby” Davis, Terry Bradshaw, and Hal Sutton. Once all nominations have been received and reviewed by the advi-sory panel, the sports legends and heroes to be featured in the firstedition of the “Louisiana Sports Legends and Heroes — Leaving a Legacy” will be announced. Louisiana Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne has put his support be-hind the project, saying, “Louisi-ana has produced many outstand-ing athletes, past and present, and this book will certainly be a tribute to their many accomplishments and contributions to the quality of life in our great state.” The Louisi-ana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchi-toches has also spoken out in sup-port of the book as well as several of the nominated athletes. BIC Media Solutions has been publishing books of significancesince 2005, with more books on the horizon.

People stopped by in the Sherrington Place Subdivision and were very generous. In addi-tion to selling lemonade, Calem offered Krispy Kreme doughnuts, donated by Donny Bradley, general manager of the Plank Road location. Our family would like to express heartfelt thanks, along with Calem, to all those that helped make this effort a success. There will bearaffletohelpwithfutureexpenses,contactSandra Major at 241-9812.

Continued from Page 1St. Thomas More’s 280 and 300 pound linemen. “We’ll have our hands full, but we’re going over there to win.” Dotson praised the performance of the Central team last Friday.

“When our team was 2-4, our team kept working hard, regard-less of what anyone else said about us,” he said. “It took character for these young men to win the Dis-trict Championship, but that’s how we got here. Our power rating was

only 33rd in the state. If that was the deciding factor, we wouldn’t have made it. But the fact that we won the District Title automati-cally gave us a spot in the playoffs and bumped Chalmette down from 32 to 33.” The coach said he noticed the performance of several offensve players in last Friday night’s 41-15 victory over Live Oak. “Zach Evans had a great run, roughly 94 yards. Unfortunately, it was called back, but it was one

of the longest plays from scrim-mage in Central history. If it had counted, he would have had a 200-yard night. Brett Courville was outstanding and went 11 for 11 in passing. Gary Triplett had a 77 yard punt return.” “On defense, we had a good night. Logan Metcalf, Zack Hetrick, Joey Jarreau, and Thomas Edleman were outstanding,” he said. “Tom stepped in and did a good job.” Live Oak’s starting quarterback, Cole LeBlanc, played for Central

Coach Doug Dotson: “Men, I’m very proud of you.”

Thomas Eddlemon (left); Coach David Simoneaux, Jr. addresses the team after the win; and Shane and Zack Evans

until this season. Dotson said he played very well Friday night. Af-ter the game, the Central coach ap-proached the Live Oak quarterback and congratulated him. “He played hard and did a good job for Live Oak. He fought like a warrior.” Central will need a team full of warriors this Friday against St. Paul’s. Coach Dotson said St. Paul’s has earned its No. 1 rating. Yet, Central has a certain advan-tage in the contest. They’ve played St. Paul’s the past two years. Al-

though they lost, both games were close and Central’s players know they are competitive with St. Paul’s. They believe they can win this game. On the other hand, it would seem difficult to motivate St. Paul’s.They are playing the No. 32 seed and a team they have beaten. St. Paul’s hasn’t been tested this year. So no one has seen them un-der pressure. On the other hand, Central makes its living under pressure.

Coach Dotson is asking for a big turnout Friday night in Covington. St. Paul’s fans will turn out. It will be a White-Out night. So every-one is asked to wear white. Leave early and arrive alive.

PREDICTION: This Central team is the kind of group that could pull off the upset of the year, and we’re predicting that’s exactly what will happen. Central 21, St. Paul’s 17.

and unafraid. He has the determi-nation to win. Brett is very tough. He could just as easily be our start-ing linebacker.” Dotson said Cen-tral changed their offense this year but Courville readily adapted to the new system. Coach Dotson said defenders quickly learn they’re not dealing with ordinary quarterback. “For one thing, he’d just as soon run through you as around you. A lot of defenders have found that out the hard way. As Brett goes, so go the Wildcats,” Dotson said. Assistant coach Rob Chapman,

the quarterback coach, said, “Brett Courville is an outstanding young man. He has a different air — nev-er too high or too low. He’s come a long way. Overall, he’s a great athlete and a tremendous competi-tor. He reminds me of Tim Tebow. He has a natural athletic ability. He was born with something spe-cial. I wouldn’t trade him for any quarterback in the district.” Overall, Courville’s numbers aren’t shabby: 1,857 yards of total offense with 574 rushing and 1,283 yards passing with 4 interceptions. He’s passed or run for 23 TDs. Is anybody noticing?

CENTRAL — Dr. Benjamin Record has joined Central’s growing health care community. Record Dental Center is now open at 15110 Wax Road, the former location of John M. Smith, DDS. A native of Clinton, Dr. Record said he will strive to continue the excellent dental care provided by Dr. Smith for years to come. Dr. Record obtained his DDS from LSUSD in 2003 and then completed a two-year hospital den-tistry residency (General Practice Residency) at Big Charity in New Orleans. There he learned the art of sedation dentistry, expanded his oralsurgeryskills,treateddifficultcases both dentally and medically and deepened his love of general dentistry for patients with all types of special needs. After completing his residency, he was asked to take over as direc-tor of the General Practice Resi-dency Program. During his ten-ure, he helped rebuild LSUSD and the GPR program through multiple hurricanes, natural disasters and shrinking state budgets. He said he felt he left LSUSD with a successful GPR program

with 18 residents in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Teaching den-tistry to young dentists and treat-ing patients within the LSU Health System require a great deal of en-thusiasm, ingenuity, creativity and patience. Those are traits Dr. Re-cord said he hopes to bring to Re-cord Dental Center. Dr. Record and his wife, Dr. Ash-ley Record, a practicing Derma-tologist at Advanced Dermatology in Zachary, have two children, Lil-lian, two and a half, and Abram one month. They live in Baton Rouge but enjoy practicing in the grow-ing cities of Central and Zachary. When not working, spending time with their family takes center stage. Activities involve all things outdoors, farmer’s markets, water activities at Lake St. John, Spo-kane, La., or enjoying the country at “Breezy Hill Farms” in Clinton. Wherever they are, Dr. Ben Record is sure to have a camera capturing life’s precious moments. Sara Forbes, RDH; Heather De-pew, Office Manager/Dental As-sistant and Christy Barr, Dental Assistant have stayed on during the transition and are excited to be a part of the newest dental clinic to open in Central. Dr. Record said he wants to in-vite local residents to drop by and say hello and to visit on Facebook where they post updates and the occasional prize!
