Thanks Coach for your dedication and example.
We are proud of you.
Please join all of us in praying for those
suffering in the aftermath of what should have
been a joyous occasion. The words of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. ring so true: "When evil men
plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn
and bomb, good men must build and bind. When
evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men
must commit themselves to the glories of love."
Last Saturday, friends, family, and Central High School football players and coaches joined Coach Sid Edwards, his wife Beanie, and their sons
Chase and Jack for the annual Active for Autism event in Baton Rouge. The event happens every spring, raising money for and awareness of autism.

Join Central Cleanup Day April 27
Join Central Leadership for Tomorrow (CLT) at 8AM on April 27th for
the Second Annual Central Cleanup Day. Last year a team of over 100
volunteers took to the streets of Central and removed trash from many miles
of our streets. Show up in the parking lot in front of Pat’s at Sullivan and
Hooper a little before 8AM and join in this year for a morning of service
to Central. If you can, please sign up ahead of time on Facebook under the
event CLT 2nd Annual City Cleanup Day so they have an idea of how many
people to expect. Even if you cannot help that day, please consider leaving
your trash cans out by the curb after trash pickup to allow volunteers to
place no more than one bag of trash in your garbage can. This will really
help cut down on the man power needed to pick up loose trash bags.

2 COMMENTARY
Coach Sid
“Those players would
run through a brick wall
for Coach Sid.” That
is the first description I
was given when I asked
someone how the new
head football coach was
doing at Central back in 2008. As I have gotten
to know Sid Edwards in recent years, I understand
why those brick walls are in danger any time
Coach Sid steps in to motivate and coach young
athletes.
Sid would like for you to believe that he knows
nothing about coaching, and that all he does is to
surround himself with capable coaches and let
them do the work. He does indeed recruit great
coaches onto his staff, but don’t be fooled. No
one who can’t coach wins state titles in both
Football and Basketball and is one of the most
highly sought after coaches in the state.
Indeed, Coach Sid surrounded himself with good
coaches when he took over as the CHS Softball
Coach this year, and they have had a turnaround
year, making it to the playoffs and winning more
games than this program has seen in years. In
fact, if you attended a softball game this year you
would not have known that Sid Edwards, sitting
quietly in the dugout, was the head coach. The
actual coaching and teaching, and the day to
day grind of producing a winning softball team
has been handled by the talented coaches he has
recruited, and he gives them and his dedicated and
talented players full credit for this year’s success.
Thursday, April 18, 2013 • CentralSpeaks.com Print Edition
However, there is a confidence and belief running
through the heart of this team and every team he
coaches that can be traced directly back to Coach
Sid Edwards.
When I talk with Sid it is rarely about a
particular game or a specific play or a strategy,
it is about his players. He tells me about the
successes of building confidence in a player or
about how many football players showed up in
service to the community at an event. He talks
about former players who use their high school
experiences to become winners in life outside of
athletics. He gets quiet and struggles to find ways
to help the ones who just can’t seem to get their
lives together. Sid Edwards is what is known as
a “Player’s Coach”. The young men and women
will always be more important than a win or even
a state title. Sid has shared with me more than
once “Some coaches see plays, I see players.”
I know that the Central Community School
System is academically one of the best in the state.
I also know that about 500 of the 1,200 students
at Central High School are involved in some way
with athletics. Central is fortunate to have a man
like Sid Edwards as our Athletic Director, having
a positive influence on all of these students. Let’s
never lose sight of the primary goal of school,
to prepare our students for life, jobs and further
education. However, let’s also remember that we
have exceptional mentors like Coach Sid Edwards
who are instilling in our young men and women
the commitment, desire and willingness to run
through a brick wall for what they believe in.

Letter to the
Editor: Central
Fire Department
I would like to give a special thanks to
our Central Fire Department. Today upon
stopping at Frog's on Greenwell Springs
Road, for gas, I pulled up next to one of
their fire trucks. My 3 year old son loves
Firemen and fire trucks so upon seeing a real
fire truck he got very excited and wanted to
say "Hi". I approached the gentleman who
was putting gas in the fire truck and asked
if it would be okay if my son said hello.
He gladly said "Sure". I brought over my
son and 4 year old daughter and he and
the other gentleman on the truck were so
awesome! They let them see the inside of
the truck, let them sit on the drivers and
passenger seats, they even let my son honk
the loud horn. To top it off, they gave both
kids little fireman hats.
My son has not stopped talking about this
experience all day and I'm sure he'll speak
of it for months to come. I sadly did not get
the names of these two men but I am very
grateful that they were so nice and made
two little kids very happy. They are very
appreciated and I want them to know.
Sincerely,
Jill Sygula

The City of Central Chamber of Commerce
C4 Report – On the Move
We’ve been looking at the five facets of economic development that
must be considered if growth is to continue to take place. Those facets are:
Workforce Education, Infrastructure, Leadership, Business Industry, and
Recruitment.
So far we’ve considered the aspect of Workforce Education, Infrastructure
and Leadership. In review, education in a community and economic
development go hand in hand! The creation of a strong and vibrant
workforce is essential to the economic development and stability of our
region. Investing in infrastructure enables us to sustain and develop our
social and economic wellbeing. Likewise, investing in leadership allows
the development of visionaries. These are leaders who can embrace the
current circumstances, see past those circumstances, come up with a plan
and look ahead to what is needed. All of these are essential to economic
growth and stability and to keep us “On the Move”.
To wrap up, this week we address the importance of business / industry
retention and recruitment. The retention of businesses and industries is
important to our city, our area and our state. Local businesses provide
services and create the flow of tax dollars necessary to maintain our
schools, our infrastructure and our government. Industry in our region,
especially the oil and gas related fields, is vital for the creation of thousands
of jobs and the flow of cash into our local economy. Continually losing
these businesses and industries diminishes our workforce, lessens our
available tax dollars and can create a negative investment perspective of
our area. This perspective can then make it hard to recruit other businesses
and industries into our region.
In the economic and business world you’re either moving or getting
passed by. Standing still is not an option! The old adage, “To keep on
doing what we’ve always done, is to keep on getting what we’ve always
got” is not true in today’s economic world. Actually, to keep on doing what
you’ve always done, is to obtain less and less of what you used to get! You
snooze, you lose! Truth is someone is going to get, “the bigger piece of the
pie”! Leaders in our city and region must continue to aggressively retain
and recruit business and industry. Granted, it may not all be appropriate
for or even end up in our “backyard” but it can be established somewhere
in our region! The point being, the ripple effect will stimulate the economy
well beyond the location of its development.
We, the citizens of Central, can help as well. We can continue to support
our local existing businesses, encourage the development of new ones and
support efforts to bring in nonretail based business that would be appropriate
for our area. The commitment to do so will help to retain and sustain jobs,
attract other investors and stimulate our local economy. Shop Central and
let’s stay “On the Move!”

President – Central Chamber of Commerce
CAPA Corner: Perfecting Holiness
God gave us some promises in II Corinthians 6:14-18. He promises if
we will not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and not have fellowship
with unrighteousness, and have no communion with darkness, no
concord with Belial, no part with an infidel, and no agreement with idols
that he would dwell in us, and walk in us; and he would be our God, and
we should be his people. And because of this we should come out from
among them and be separate, and touch not the unclean thing; and He
will receive us, and will be a Father unto us, and we shall be His sons
and daughters.
II Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises dearly beloved, let
us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God.
Because we have these promises from God, who does not lie and is
eternally faithful, we should cleanse our hands and purify our hearts (James
4:8). We should come out from among them and be separate, sanctified.
We should forsake our sin and follow after the holy one, Jesus Christ.
When we flee unrighteousness and follow after the righteous one;
we are perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Wow! Perfecting holiness.
Let that sink in for a moment. One commentary put it kind of like this:
perfecting holiness is “pursuing holiness aggressively and continuously”.
Think of all the things we pursue aggressively and continuously in this
temporary world. God has promised eternal life through faith in his
son, Jesus Christ. Why would we not pursue the eternal, holy attribute
of God almighty with greater initiative? If we truly have faith in Jesus
Christ then we will truly come out from among them and be separate,
following holiness with a driving force in order to capture it completely.
In Christ,
Kenny Kepper

Health Update: Childhood Obesity
Joseph Halphen PA-C,
Lake After Hours Central
Childhood obesity has both
immediate and long-term effects
on health and well-being. The
percentage of overweight children
in the United States is growing at
an alarming rate, with 1 out of 3
kids now considered overweight or
obese. Childhood obesity is a serious
medical condition that affects
children and adolescents. It occurs
when a child is well above the normal
weight for his or her age and height.
Childhood obesity is particularly
troubling because the extra pounds
often start children on the path to
health problems that were once
confined to adults, such as diabetes
(type 2), high blood pressure and
high cholesterol. Childhood obesity
can also lead to poor self-esteem and
depression as well. At Lake After
Hours, we see a large percentage
of our pediatric population that are
overweight and already have an
elevated blood pressure.
A number of factors contribute
to becoming overweight: genetics,
lifestyle habits, or a combination
of both may be involved. In some
instances, endocrine problems,
genetic syndromes, and medications
can be associated with excessive
weight gain.
Much of what we eat is quick and
easy from fast food which typically
contains a high percentage of fat, to
microwave and prepackaged meals.
Daily schedules are so busy that
there's little time to prepare healthier
meals or to squeeze in some exercise.
Portion sizes, at home and when
eating out, have grown greatly.
Now more than ever life is
sedentary. Kids are now spending
more time playing with electronic
devices, from computers to handheld
video game systems, than actively
playing outside. Television is a major
culprit. Kids younger than six years
spend an average of two hours a day
in front of a screen, mostly watching
TV, DVDs, or videos. Older kids
and teens average 4.5 hours a day
watching TV, DVDs, or videos.
When computer use and video games
are included, time spent in front of a
screen increases to over seven hours
a day! Kids who watch more than
four hours a day are more likely to
be overweight compared with kids
who watch two hours or less. Not
surprisingly, TV in the bedroom is
also linked to increased likelihood
of being overweight. In other words,
for many kids, once they get home
from school, virtually all of their free
time is spent in front of one screen or
another. The American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that
kids over two years old not spend
more than 1-2 hours a day in front of
a screen. The AAP also discourages
any screen time for children younger
than two years old.
Many kids don't get enough
physical activity. Although physical
education (PE) in schools can help
kids get up and moving, more and
more schools are eliminating PE
programs or cutting down the time
spent on fitness-building activities.
One study showed that gym classes
offered third-graders just 25 minutes
of vigorous activity each week.
Current guidelines recommend that
kids over two years old get at least
60 minutes of moderate to vigorous
physical activity on most, preferably
all, days of the week. Babies and
toddlers should be active for 15
minutes every hour (a total of three
hours for every 12 waking hours)
each day.
What can we do as parents to
reverse this alarming trend? We
can begin by speaking with our
healthcare provider to assess the
exact cause of the weight gain and
develop a plan for success. Parents
can help prevent childhood obesity
by providing healthy meals and
snacks, daily physical activity, and
nutrition education. Healthy meals
and snacks provide nutrition for
growing bodies while modeling
healthy eating behavior and
attitudes. Increased physical activity
reduces health risks and helps weight
management. Nutrition education
helps young children develop an
awareness of good nutrition and
healthy eating habits for a lifetime.
Lastly, limit the amount of time the
child spend in front of a video screen
and encourage outdoor physical
activity daily.

April is National Occupational
Therapy Month, a time to bring
awareness to the benefits and
importance of occupational therapy.
Occupational
Therapy
helps
individuals live life to its fullest.
Occupational therapists and
occupational therapy assistants help
people participate in the things they
want and need to do through the
therapeutic use of everyday activities
(occupations).
Common occupational therapy
interventions include helping children
with disabilities to participate fully in
school and social situations, helping
people recovering from injury to
regain skills, and providing support
for older adults experiencing physical
and cognitive changes.
Occupational therapy services may
include comprehensive evaluations
of the client’s home, workplace,
school or other environments,
recommendations
for
adaptive
equipment and training in its use,
and guidance and education for
family members and caregivers.
Occupational therapy practitioners
have a holistic perspective in
which the focus is on adapting the
environment to fit the person.
Lane Regional Medical Center
offers Occupational Therapy to serve
our patients needs in every stage
of recovery. This includes: acute
inpatient care, inpatient rehabilitation,
outpatient therapy and home health.

SAFETY 13
EBRSO Solves
Burglary/Shooting
Returning home on December
22, the resident of a home on Deer
Creek just outside of Central on
Hwy 64, found two black males
wearing masks standing in the
bedroom door, one pointing a
gun. The masked burglar holding
the gun ordered the victim not
make any noise and to do what
he was told. The victim ran out
of the back door and jumped
off the deck, fleeing from the
residence. The masked burglar
chased the victim and fired up to
six shots, missing the victim. The
suspects then fled to the back of
the subdivision.
In February, an EBRSO
Detective arrested a Pride resident
on another burglary and that
suspect offered information on
the December 22nd incident. As
a result of the tip, several photo
lineups, and further investigation
by EBRSO, on March 8 Robert
Neff was apprehended and on
April 10 Johnny Lee Shelmire
“LJ” Mitchell was apprehended.
Both were booked into the East
Baton Rouge Parish Prison
for Aggravated Burglary and
Attempted First Degree Murder.

took on and defeated the Live Oak
Eagles. Wildcat starter Preston
Fondren gave up a run in the bottom
of the first but stifled the Eagle batters
for the rest of the game in a complete
game, five hit performance. The
Wildcats got their two runs in a 2-1
victory in the fifth inning on backto-back RBI hits by Brett Courville
and Chris Chambliss. On Monday,
Central defeated Scotlandville 5-1
following a complete game pitching
performance by Mason Gautreaux.
Gautreaux also had 3 hits and two
RBI’s in the win. Cameron Cason
and Dylan Dantin also collected
two hits. On Tuesday, the Wildcats
faced their toughest district matchup

their district rivals. Travis Stevens
pitched the complete game only
giving up one run on four hits.
Courville and Thomas Eddlemon
each collected an RBI in the victory.
