As David Stare’s 80th birthday approached, he began deliberating what would be the best way to celebrate. Two things were certain: David’s two most distinct interests were food and jazz. David decided that, as there is no better place than Louisiana to celebrate food and jazz, his birthday weekend had to be there. That wasn’t the only deciding factor, however, as Louisiana had another tug on David’s heart: family roots.

In September of 2019, David, along with his wife and daughters, got on a plane and headed for the Bayou State, temporarily leaving Dry Creek Vineyard that David founded in Healdsburg, California, 48 years ago. Once his feet were on the ground in “the Boot,” David met up with a couple from Boston: his sister, Mary Wilkinson, and her husband. Unfortunately, their other brother Fred, from Chicago, was unable to join.

Residents of Winn Parish may have noticed a “new” fixture attached to the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame. Now connecting the two museum buildings is the gate that formerly donned the back entrance to the Earl K. Long Memorial Park.

Under previous administration, the City of Winnfield made the decision to have the gates removed and discarded. However, the Executive Director of the museum, Carolyn Phillips, determined that this would not be the end for a piece of Louisiana history.

The new News Editor for the Winn Parish Enterprise, Tiffany Burke, spoke to the Kiwanis After Hours meeting, Monday, January 20, 2020. She graduated from Calvin in 2011 and graduated from Northwestern with a degree in Education. It was a logical choice and scholarships were available. She taught at Winnfield Senior High and Calvin for a few years. Then she went on a mission trip to New York and after her second mission trip she quit her teaching job. She has been on mission trips to New York, Brazil, Hawaii, Nepal, France and California. She started at the Enterprise on Halloween day. She originally called to apply for the sales job and ended up with the news editor job.

Ms. Burke is all about making a difference in your world. She believes you have to transfer your passion to make a difference. There are a lot of civic clubs in our town and they are about making a difference. She said authenticity sells.

WSHS FB Playoff Week 1 Amite

The Winnfield Tigers traveled to Amite last Friday in the 2019 LHSAA Playoffs and competed hard through four quarters of play. A costly fumble on the Tigers’ 20-yard line on the Tigers’ 2 nd drive of the night proved costly as the Warriors took over and ate up precious time on the clock. The Warriors returned the favor in the second quarter, and the score 7-0, with a bad punt snap that gave the Tigers the ball on the Winnfield 20 yard line, but the Tigers had to settle on a 30 yard field goal by Theeramet Muskibootalert (Mek). With the score 7-3, the Amite Warriors went to work in the air connecting on two long passes for touchdowns ending the half with the Tigers only down by 16 points.

There’s a new tradition in Winn Parish: the Dugdemona Classic! The rivalry between Calvin and Dodson has gained traction. The Dugdemona River separates the two schools, hence the name of the competition. This tradition states that whichever of the two teams wins their first season game against each other will be awarded a special plaque to hang in their gym. The losing team will get the chance to steal it back the next school year.

The 1 st Annual Dugdemona Classic took place on Tuesday, November 5, at Calvin. To encourage community support, CHS Girls Assistant Coach Lauren Emmons declared, “It’s panther hunting season, so come decked out in your CAMO!” Calvin Lady Cougars ended up triumphing over the Dodson Lady Panthers with the final score of 62-38, and Calvin Cougars pulled off a tense and hardearned overtime victory over Dodson Panthers with a final score of 82-80.
