Jesse James Outlaw Roundup Saturday COVERED WAGONS will again join the Jesse James Outlaw Roundup Festi- val Day in Oak Grove Saturday. By Dan Gill LSU AgCenter Horticulturist For much of the nation, September marks the end of summer. Indeed, accord- ing to the calendar, fall will officially start at the autumnal equinox on September 22. For those of us living in the Deep South, however, it would be wishful thinking to think fall weather is a cer- tainty in September. We are all familiar with Septembers when temper- atures stay in the upper 80s and 90s throughout the month. Still, there is some- thing going on now. Nights often begin to get a little cooler. And when you walk out in the morning, the air feels just a bit more comfortable. The days are getting shorter, and that is beginning to have an effect. Although uncom- fortably hot weather is not yet a thing of the past, we can begin to appreciate that cooler weather is not too distant. And if we are lucky, cool fronts this month can make the weather downright pleas- ant. The word “fall” com- monly conjures up images of harvest, falling leaves, the end of the growing season and the beginning of dormancy leading into winter. For gardeners in Louisiana, however, the traditional fall period is not a time of winding things down in the garden but of revival and renewed effort. Finally, we can get back into our gardens and enjoy ourselves as the debilitating heat of the hot season loses its grip on the weather. For the next two months we will experience a grad- ual shift to milder weather. There will be cool spells followed by decidedly hot summer-like weather. But as we move into late October, cooler weather will begin to dominate the scene. Not until mid- to late November do we gen- erally experience the nippy cold weather and chang- ing leaves that tell us that fall has finally arrived. Looking around now You might begin to notice an increase of vigor in your warm-season bed- ding plants in September. Even heat-tolerant flowers do not always look their best in August. But shorter days mean fewer hours of intense heat, even though the daytime highs may stay about the same, and plants begin to experience less stress. This encourages a “sec- ond wind” in the flower garden that may last well into October or early November. Given this, consider cutting back some of your summer bed- ding plants and flowers that have grown tall and leggy over the long grow- ing season. The collection box for the Football Picks Contest at Mac’s Fresh Market could not be found when a Gazette staff member went to pick it up Friday at 5 PM. The box has not been found so those entries are missing in this week’s con- test. The season tally of winners will not start until next week to give those play- ers affected an even start. A winner was selected from the other entries that were turned in at The Gazette office or sent by mail. The Gazette regrets this incident and thanks the store for letting us place another box there for future use. Fall weather is tardy in the Deep South Scammers call local residents Four-wheelers, pickup stolen Thieves stole four four- wheelers and a pickup dur- ing the last part of past week in West Carroll. Chief Deputy Kenneth Green said the thefts were widespread ranging from Forest to west of Oak Grove and to Highway 589 west of Kilbourne. The pickup which was stolen at Kilbourne has been recovered. Two four-wheel- ers were stolen from one location and one each from two other locations. Green said the investi- gation is still underway.

Don passed away at home on Wednesday, September 7, 2016, sur-rounded by family.
Those left to cherish his precious memory are his wife, Mary LeBlanc Terry of Parks; a son, William “Forrest” Terry of Agra, Okla.; two daughters, Stephanie M. Badeaux and her husband Joey of Breaux Bridge, and Caitlin E. Johnson and her companion Vanessa Russell of Prairieville; one brother, Weldon “Dickie” Terry and his wife Mary of Teague, Texas; a granson, J.J. Badeaux of Breaux Bridge; his mother-in-law, Verna H. LeBlanc of Breaux Bridge; and two fur babies, Cleopatrick and Sir Winston.
He was preceded in death by his beloved par-ents, W. D. “Dick” Terry and Elner Burnham Terry of Vidalia; his father- in-law, Lee Roy LeBlanc; brother-in-law, Dennis LeBlanc; and his dear friend, Mildred Carter of Natchez.
Don was born in Shreveport and lived there until the family moved to Vidalia during his preteen years. He graduated from Vidalia High School and Louisiana Tech University in Ruston with a degree in finance, banking and invest-ments. He worked in the banking industry for 13 plus years as a loan officer and branch manager. He also served as Executive Director of the Haynesville, La. Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Program.
In 1994, Don became the first Executive Director for the St. Martin Economic Development Authority (SMEDA). He was also an executive analyst for George S. May Business Consultants in Chicago, Ill., and worked for the Governor’s Office of Rural Development as a field coordinator.
He retired from the Entergy Corporation in 2010, where he worked as a community developer. Don worked with 24 Entergy Team Cities in 20 parishes throughout the North Louisiana Service Territory. He worked closely with legislators, mayors, local economic development organizations and a host of volunteer citizens who wished to improve the qual-ity of life in their towns.
He had a thorough knowldge of historic pres-ervation. Don purchased and restored two antebel-lum homes in the Natchez, Mississippi downtown his-toric district. The first, at age 22 in 1976, an 1840’s Creole-styled duplex cur-rently being operated as a Bed and Breakfast under the trade name of “The Elephant’s Ear.” In 1978, he purchased a three-story 1855 Greek Revival town-house, known today as “The Orchard.” He also served on the Tacony House (Vidalia) Restoration Committee as a lead researcher for the project. In 1979, he purchased, restored and maintained the family’s ancestral home, Burnham Plantation, in
Claiborne Parish. He was also instrumental in the res-toration of the Herbert S. Ford Museum in Homer and The Shadows, Minden. In 1997, he purchased and began restoration of an 1880’s two-story commer-cial building at the corner of Main and Bridge Streets in St. Martinville.
Don chaired various fundraisers for community projects including Old Town Cemetery in Haynesville. He originated and coined the term “A Night At The Fair,” a fund raising event to construct a community center in Haynesville; and also origi-nated and coined the term “Cajuns, Cousins, and Cuisine” as a fund raiser for the Acadian Memorial. He served as co-chairman of the event.
He supported tourism and served on the following boards: S h a d o w s Restoration Committee (Webster Parish), Claiborne Parish Tourist Commission; and St. Martin Parish Scenic Byway Committee. He organized and co-chaired “March Thru Claiborne” tour of historic homes and was a state director for the Louisiana Recreational Trails Program, Gov. Office of Rural Development.

He was also a historian and did extensive research in the history of North Louisiana and St. Martin Parish. He cherished the elderly and served on the Louisiana Executive Board for the Aging.
Don was a great cook. Serving lunch for two or 200 was no problem for him. It was not unusual for Don to prepare and deliver an entire meal for the sick, elderly or someone who just needed a kind gesture. He loved creating beautiful landscapes. He and his wife, Mary enjoyed scouring the countryside in search of a new antique. He thoroughly enjoyed a family get togeth-ers with the Burnham, Terry and LeBlanc familes.
He will be missed by many.

Opinions
Election Day is less than two months away. It’s Clinton and Trump neck and neck in the polls, with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson polling 10 percent of the total vote. So the candi-dates are crisscrossing Louisiana trying to squeeze out enough votes to carry the state, right? Hardly!
Now I know that my vote for president is irrelevant. Louisiana is a red state, which means the Trump ticket is a lead cinch to carry the state. Forget California, the big Apple, and for the matter the whole South.
The election comes down to just a handful of states. It’s all about Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and maybe North Carolina. These few states have become the Epicenters of the Political World. The rest of us are all irrelevant. States like mine get visited during a presi-dential election only if we qualify as a campaign ATM machine.
And by the way, what’s all this red state-blue state thing? I thought red was a designated color for communism? You know. Reds! The Soviet Union! And that Democratic “blue”? The Bible says it’s a symbol of wealth and corruption. Check out Proverbs. Now the corruption I can understand. But I thought it was the Republicans who are the rich guys!
You see, it all comes down to the Electoral College, that archa-ic system put in place by our forefathers, when it took several weeks by horseback just to get to Washington. Each state was, with few exceptions, similar in size, strongly independent and demanding equal say in the ways of the nation’s capitol.
But here is how undemocratic the system has become. When it comes time to pick a president, each state’s voice is determined by its congressional make-up. Every state has a guarantee of three electoral votes, including one for each of the two U.S. Senators. And that throws the one man-one vote principal com-pletely out of whack.
As columnist Mark Shields points out: “This means that Wyoming, which in the most recent U.S. Census had 568,300 residents, has three electoral votes, and California, with 37,341,989 residents (which awards it 53 House members),
has 55 electoral votes. As Bill Clinton might suggest, look at the arithmetic: Wyoming gets one electoral vote for every 189,493 residents, while it takes 678,945 Californians to get a single electoral vote. This is inde-fensible.”
This leads to the disturbing possibility that one candidate could carry the day in acquiring a majority of voters across the nation, but the other candidate could be elected by garnering an Electoral College majority. Déjà vu Bush-Gore?
Looking at the choices, many voters, including myself, feel a bit let down. Is that all there is? Both parties seemed at constant political war. Whole hosts of what seem to be insurmount-able problems facing our coun-try are barely touched on by either party so far during this campaign. Neither Clinton nor Trump have told us what their agenda for the nation will be in the next four years. Trump changes his positions daily and Clinton won’t even talk to the press.
Whoever wins on Election Day will face cantankerous opposi-tion from the other party, with an uphill challenge to get much done for the country in the com-ing four years. If the new presi-dent is unsuccessful, here’s the encouraging news. It’s only some 1562 days until the next presi-dential election.

Misleadingstatistics
Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies -- “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear plenty of all three kinds.
Even if the statistics themselves are absolutely accurate, the words that describe what they are mea-suring can be grossly misleading.
Household income statistics are an obvious example. When we hear about how much more income the top 20 percent of households make, compared to the bottom 20 percent of households, one key fact is usually left out. There are millions more people in the top 20 percent of households than in the bottom 20 percent of households.
The number of households is the same but the number of peo-ple in those households is very different. In 2002, there were 40 million people in the bottom 20 percent of households and 69 mil-lion people in the top 20 percent.
A little over half of the house-holds in the bottom 20 percent have nobody working. You don’t usually get a lot of income for doing nothing. In 2010, there were more people working full-time in the top 5 percent of households than in the bottom 20 percent.
Household income statistics can be very misleading in other ways. The number of people per household is different among dif-ferent racial or ethnic groups, as well as from one income level to another, and it is different from one time period to another.
The number of people per American household has declined over the years. When you compare household incomes from a year when there were 6 people per household with a later year when there were 4 people per house-hold, you are comparing apples and oranges.
Even if income per person increased 25 percent between those two years, average house-hold income statistics will never-theless show a decline. When the income of 4 people rises 25 per-cent, this means that 4 people are now making the same income as 5 people made in an earlier time. But not as much as 6 people made before.
So household income statistics can show an economic decline, even when per capita income has risen.
Why do so many people in the media, in academia and in politics use household income statistics, when the number of people per household can vary so much, while individual income statistics always mean the average income of one person?
Although individual income sta-tistics can give a truer picture, not everyone makes truth their high-est priority. Alarming news that household incomes have failed to rise, or have actually fallen, is more exciting news for the media, or for alarmists in academia or in politics.
Such alarming news can attract a larger audience for the media, and can justify an expansion of government programs dear to the heart of academics on the left, or to politicians who just want more power to hand out goodies and collect more votes from the benefi-ciaries.
Even individual income statis-tics have pitfalls when they lump together very different kinds of income, as is usually the case. Incomes from salaries are very dif-ferent from incomes from capital gains.

The Lord endued Mary with the grace she needed before Jesus was born! “Endued” means “invested or endowed” with a qual-ity of or ability.
Mary had much ahead of her that would be difficult as a mother, but from the begin-ning she had what she needed to face it all! She wasn’t perfect but she was empowered to be the mother of our Savior.
Even though we are not raising the Savior, we are raising sons and daughters of God. That same infusion of abilities and
qualities is ours to receive as well.There is more and more grace. Read
what Galatians 5:22-25 (AMPC) says. Keep reading the Word. Jesus is the Word. Believe it.
Cont’dRemember our service men and women
in uniform, those who govern the affairs of our town, country, this state, our nation and the world at large. Don’t forget the presi-dent and his cabinet also.

Sowell_____________From Page 4A salary is usually earned and paid in
the same year. Capital gains received in a given year can be paid for value accrued over a number of years. If you paid $100,000 for a home or a business in the past, and then sold it 20 years later for $300,000, have you made $200,000 per year when you sold it or $10,000 a year for 20 years?
In the income statistics, your income will be recorded the same as that of some-one on a salary of $200,000 a year.
What difference does that make? It makes a big difference when most low and moderate incomes are from salaries, while incomes in the highest brackets are more likely to be primarily capital gains -- wheth-er from the sale of homes or businesses, or receiving an inheritance, cashing in stock
options, or some other forms of capital gains.
This means that statistics on income inequalities are often comparing high multi-year earnings with lower single-year earn-ings -- that is, comparing apples and orang-es.
Such statistical distortions are discussed more fully in my book “Wealth, Poverty and Politics.” In an election year, it might be worth taking a look.

Do this in August or early September at the latest, and generally cut plants back about one-third to one-half their height.
Things to do in the landscape now
While you’re at it, it might be a good idea to impose some order on those over-grown flower beds. In addition to cutting back, groom the plantings to remove dead flowers and unattractive foliage. If plants are leaning or have fallen over onto nearby neighbors, prop them up or stake them so they will stand upright. Just about every year about this time I find the remains of some unfortunate plant that was over-whelmed when some larger, more vigorous nearby plants leaned over it.
If you haven’t done so, cut back your everblooming rose bushes, including such popular groups as hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas, miniature roses, teas, polyan-thas, Bourbons, Chinas and English roses. Many old-fashioned climbers, ramblers, Lady Banks roses and some bush roses that bloom heavily in spring to early summer and then stop will bloom next year on the growth they made this summer and should not be cut back now.
It’s too early to plant hardy trees, shrubs, ground covers and vines in the landscape. Temperatures in the 80s and 90s will likely be common in September, and this is still too stressful for new plantings. Wait at least until the cooler weather of October. The ideal planting season for hardy trees, shrubs and ground covers is November through February.
It’s also too early to plant cool-season bedding plants, even though they will begin
to show up in area nurseries this month. Even if you have an area where plants have finished flowering and have been removed, it’s still too hot to plant most cool-season bedding plants. Mulch over the area and wait for more reliably cooler weather of October, or even November, to plant the beds. If you feel you need to plant some-thing now, consider some of the more heat-tolerant cool-season bedding plants that include petunias, dianthus, calendula, snap-dragons and alyssum.
Spring-flowering bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, also become available this month at local nurseries and garden cen-ters. Given that September is still so warm, there is no hurry to plant them. Purchase bulbs now, if you like, while the selection is good. But keep them indoors at room temperature until October or November when the weather has cooled down, and plant them then.
The chrysanthemum is often consid-ered the floral symbol of fall, and you will begin to see them available for sale this month as well. Unfortunately, when planted in the garden while daytime highs are still in the upper 80s and lower 90s, the flowers will rapidly wither in the heat. It’s gener-ally best to wait until reliably cooler tem-peratures to purchase chrysanthemums so the colorful display will last longer in the garden.
So, lets anticipate the soon-to-arrive (we hope) milder weather and enjoy the delights of gardening over the next few months. But when the fall equinox arrives later this month, don’t get carried away. For us, summer will still be lingering for a while.

Louisiana Tech earns another Tier One ranking from US News & World Report
For sixth consecutive year, Louisiana Tech is rec-ognized among top National Universities
RUSTON – U.S. News & World Report has ranked Louisiana Tech University in its highest tier of “National Universities” for the sixth consecutive year, according to its 2017 Best Colleges list released Tuesday.
Louisiana Tech and Louisiana State University were the only two public institutions in the state to achieve a Tier One National Universities designation. Tulane University (private) also earned a Tier One National University rank-ing. Louisiana Tech landed at No. 202 out of the over 230 institutions to achieve Tier One status on the 2017 Best Colleges list. Louisiana Tech’s overall score increased by six points over last year, primarily as a
result of a rise in its peer assessment score and fresh-man retention rate.
Princeton University retained the No. 1 spot on the National Universities list followed by Harvard University, Yale University and University of Chicago (tied for No. 3), and Columbia University and Stanford University (tied for No. 5).
“The recognition we continue to receive from organizations like U.S. News & World Report is a
strong indication of the national impacts we are making and the unparal-leled educational experi-ence we are providing for students that enroll at Louisiana Tech,” said Louisiana Tech President Les Guice.
“The foundation of these achievements is our faculty and staff who have embraced our vision for the future and dedicated themselves to serving our campus com-munity.
“I am grateful for all
their contributions and their commitment to graduating students who will represent Louisiana Tech and the next generation of leaders and innovators for our state and nation.”
Louisiana Tech’s Tier One National University ranking comes on the heels of being named Louisiana’s best institution by MONEY’s 2016 Best Colleges report released in July. Louisiana Tech also received international rec-ognition last month when
Times Higher Education and World University Rankings identified Tech as one of 20 universities in the world and just one of nine universities in the U.S. that could “challenge the elite universities” and become globally renowned by the year 2030.
In addition to its overall U.S. News & World Report ranking, Louisiana Tech’s place among the nation’s Top Public Universities rose from No. 119 last year to No. 110.
