The purpose for this notification is to make the many Christ loving men and women of Winn, Jackson and surrounding parishes aware of a real need and truly just cause, in our community. My lifelong home (Winn), is in decline and has been for many years. It’s clear for anyone to see. Our greatest resource, our children, have had to leave here in search of meaningful employment. We are losing many of our best and brightest and most talented young people to other cities because of the opportunity that exists in those places, and this fact is not likely to change. As a parent and grandparent I am proud and glad that our loved ones can move to better places to raise our future generations. It saddens me though, that many of our local citizens don’t live within short driving distances of their loved ones and only get to communicate by phone or electronically. But back to my point, crime, drugs, and lawlessness is on the rise. Our moral society is at risk.

The Winnfield Tigers wasted no time last Friday night as they scored on the fourth play on offense. Winnfield took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in just four plays ending with a 22-yard TD Run. The Tiger offense proved very effective with the tandem of Isiah Loucious and Rett Blake combining for 209 yards.

After the opening kickoff, the Winnfield Tiger defense immediately produced a three and out. On the ensuing Panther punt, Jake Lashley received the punt and went 67 yards for another touchdown.

However, the Winnfield defense let Lincoln Prep back into the game, giving up a 56 yard run that resulted in a Panther touchdown. The Winnfield Tiger defense was able to make adjustments and did not allow another score after that. Winnfield defeated Lincoln Prep 54 to

Keith Bailey of the Behavioral Specialists of Louisiana in Winnfield visited the Healthy Initiative Coalition on Thursday, September 12. Their center, which is in Winnfield, is the only one they have in this area. Dr. Bamburg began in Shreveport and quickly had to expand to accommodate the need. The clinic assesses and treats children and adults with developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorders as well as ADHD. In May, the Winnfield center opened with Keith Bailey as the Behavior Specialist. Their goal was to serve 15 children of early age, 2-7, and 10 children in their afterschool program within the first six months. At this point, they have met and surpassed those goals.

Winnfield native Jared Beville spoke to the Rotary Club of Winnfield Sept. 11 on the Entrepreneur Accelerator Program, a division of the Biomedical Research Foundation of Shreveport. While the program works to give Caddo Parish entrepreneurs a leg up in their business startup, a 2-year grant, NorLEAP, extends that free assistance to all north Louisiana parishes. Unfortunately, Winn Parish is not included, bundled instead to the Alexandria region.

The Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program offers mentorship programs designed to accelerate ideas of entrepreneurs, their product or existing business into a thriving company quickly by providing intensive startup support. The EAP team of mentors will work alongside participants, working on everything from the business plan and model, market and financial analysis to prepping the business hopefuls to receive funding, such as “Angel Investment,” Beville told Rotarians.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angle came and called my name, and took me by the hand; the angel said my place was ready, in Heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, and told me

“Welcome Home”.

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Love, Stanley

Central Management is one of only 20 Independent Living, Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing organizations that has earned the remarkable distinction from NRC Health of being an Employee Approved Facility. Winners were selected according to the results from NRC Health’s 2018 Employee Experience Survey.

To qualify, organizations must have a high percentage of respondents willing to recommend their locations as places to work. In today’s competitive workforce, it is vitally important that employees feel that their voices are heard, thus contributing to company loyalty and job satisfaction.

The electrical industry has seen radical change, and that change has also greatly impacted the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority (LEPA), a unique agent of 17 municipal electrical systems. LEPA is now undergoing another change as its longtime General Manager Cordell Grand retired on June 30, and Assistant General Manager Kevin Bihm takes the helm.

Reflecting on 35 years at LEPA and 18 of those years as General Manager, Grand said LEPA has worked through three major shifts in purchasing electrical energy supply during his tenure, and the last, to membership in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) in December of 2013 was the most dramatic change in its history and has had continued implications.
