Students of the Month for October from the four Red River schools were introduced to the School Board Monday night.  Only Malia Allen was present at the meeting, however Superintendent Alison Hughes saluted all four students.

Malia Allen was selected from Red River Academic Academy. Hughes read the nomination:

I knew Malia had it in her before she even knew it herself. after watching her get aggravated one too many times, I decided to let her know what I saw. “you are my girl.” that was all it took: three little words that meant so much to her.  that was over a month ago, and Malia has been non-stop ever since. she’s ready to work as soon as she comes through the door. the once-shy girl you could barely hear, eagerly welcomes her classmates to school every morning. the growth she’s made in math alone would astonish any teacher.  ELA (English Language Arts) may not be her best subject, but she definitely doesn’t sit and wait for someone to just give her the answer. she’s always working. she even asks to miss P.E. so she can get help on work she doesn’t understand. I’m amazed every day at the leader Malia has become to her classmates. They look to her with greater respect, and turn to her for help on their assignments. Malia’s smile is contagious. when she smiles, we all smile; and she’s always smiling.  Her teacher Intha Field nominated Malia.

From Red River High School Kaitlyn Antilley was selected.  Mrs. Bailey nominated Kaitlyn as student of the month. Kaitlyn is a very out-going student who has a great work ethic. if someone does not see working on the yearbook as a hard job, they have never seen the workers in action. there are thousands of pictures that must be taken in order to include all events. Kaitlyn and another student volunteered to take pictures of all the football games. This included forwarding the pictures of many players as a fundraiser for the yearbook, all on their own.  They have done an outstanding job, and I believe Kaitlyn should be honored for her great work. She is also a very hard worker in the classroom and on the basketball court.

The student selected from Red River Junior High was Caitlyn Jones.  The nomination read:  Caitlyn is an excellent student that excels academically and behaviorally.  Caitlyn strives to be the best at everything she does, whether it’s doing her assignments, helping her peers or rooting the Bulldogs on as a cheerleader.  Caitlyn always exhibits a positive attitude and is always ready to tutor or lend a helping hand to classmates or teachers. Her favorite subject is math, but Caitlyn excels in everything, often receiving high academic awards in each subject. Caitlyn enjoys singing, dancing, cheering and spending time with her family. Not only is Caitlyn active at school, she sings in her church choir and is a praise dancer at Elizabeth Full Gospel Baptist Church. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up. Caitlyn is a model student that loves school and she is truly a pleasure to have at Red River Junior High.

And From Red River Elementary, the Student of the Month was Maximus Street.  Mrs. Miller, his 4^th grade English Language Arts teacher, stated that Maximus always gives his best effort.  He completes all of his assignments. She says he is very studious and hardworking.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Post and Auxiliary 7287 present the Students of the Month each month with a certificate noting their selection and a gift card to Coushatta Dairy Queen.

More Red River voters chose to vote early in the November 16^th runoff election than voted early in the primary.  Traditionally there is less interest in the runoff due to fewer items on the ballot. This time there was a contested local race for Assessor and a hot race for Governor, which could account for a greater turnout.

Statistics from the Registrar of Voter’s office show that 1218 people voted early.  Absentee ballots were 187 therefore 1031 people voted in person. 

The breakdown of voters is:

By race, 57.7% were white and 41.6% were black. 

By sex, 61.5% were female and 38.5% were male.

By political party, 53.2% were Democrats, 35.4% were Republican, and 11.4% were other.

Comparing these statistics to those from the first early voting period not much has changed.  The percentage of voters by race, sex or political party stayed basically the same.  There were a total of 250 more people who cast ballots during the early voting period this time.

We woke up Tuesday to a cold blustery wind with morning lows near freezing.  The forecast is for colder temperatures this morning and for the next few days.  According to Weather.com, morning lows in the lower 30s should persist through Sunday. 

The forecast calls for chilly but sunny afternoons with highs in the mid to upper 50s.  The only rain forecast is on Thursday.

As temperatures drop and winter nears, Cleco offers cold weather tips to help customers conserve energy and stay warm during the colder months.

Winter is not officially here yet.  The first day of winter is Dec. 21.
“The lower the temperature is outside, the harder a heating system has to work to keep your home or business warm,” said Hammad Chaudhry, Cleco’s energy efficiency program manager.  “During the winter months, customers should set their thermostats no higher than 68 degrees, if possible, for maximum efficiency.”

Cleco encourages customers to use the following tips to conserve energy and stay warm during the colder months:

Set your thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit, if possible.

Heat is lost through doors, windows, cracks around baseboards and electrical outlets. Weather-stripping and caulking in these areas can help prevent heat loss.

If using a space heater, make sure the plug isn’t frayed or torn, as it could start a fire, and keep heaters away from anything that can burn, including papers, clothing and rugs.

Open drapes, shades and curtains during the day to take advantage of solar heat.

Close drapes, shades and curtains at night to retain heat inside.

Several observances of Veterans Day were held in the parish over the weekend.  Many churches honored vets during Sunday Services or other occasions.

Saturday at St. Georges Catholic Church veterans in attendance, including the priest, were presented afghans.  They had been woven by the ladies who take part in Sewing God’s Love each Monday morning.

Monday morning Green Meadow Haven gathered residents in the dining area for morning coffee and muffins and a salute to their resident vets.  Four vets reside at Green Meadow Haven and two were at the event, including Jessie Bass who, at 91 years young, held the American Flag and lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

Speaker was Buster Bailey of Regional Hospice.  Bailey said, “Because of your willingness to go defend this nation we are free today. There is no way to thank you enough.”

Bailey said he wished citizens understood that loved ones might be out of touch for an extended period of time.  “My son served five years with the Marines, said Bailey, “and we had no contact with him while deployed.  It was for security reasons.  We understood that he was off defending the nation.”

The high school posted, “Red River High’s JROTC held their annual program in honor of Veterans Day. This day is a time to acknowledge the brave men and women who have served in the US Armed Forces. We also had the privilege of having several of our local veterans in attendance for this program.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend today. Most importantly, RRHS would like to sincerely thank the service men and women who took the oath to proudly serve and protect our great country.

Senior Aerospace Instructor, Colonel Mark Duffield was the speaker.  Duffield said, “Service is a deadly serious and life changing experience.  When you join, you write a blank check to the country. It is a commitment up to and possibly including laying down your life for your country.  Remember your service.”

Duffield recalled the day he took the oath.  “I have many memories, some good and some bad,” said Colonel Duffield. “The good include the smiles of people in northern Iraq who were still alive because we were there,” and Duffield added, “And there are memories of evil including the look of people who hate the United States.”

There is a brotherhood among the brothers and sisters who serve and have served.  Colonel Duffield recounted the many conflicts from the Revolutionary War when our country was born up to the current conflicts in the middle east.  He said, “We who currently serve share this brotherhood that has been handed down since the Revolutionary War.  I am proud to call all vets our brothers and sisters.”

Red River Principal JC Dickey spoke of the service given in World War II by his two grandfathers.  Dickey said, “One grandfather was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked.  The other was paralyzed when he was thrown from a tank during combat.”  He concluded, “I am thankful every day for those who served and are serving.  Thanks to every one of you who served.”
