Democrats in Louisiana's

24 ballot, for governor and

The GOP has been the

Police shoot and kill 3 in 3 days in 3 Louisiana cities
HOUMA— Police in
Louisiana have shot and
killed three men in three
cities over three days. Each
was self-defense, said
police spokesmen in
Houma, Shreveport and
New Orleans.
Authorities said an
unidentified man shot
Monday in Houma pointed a gun at officers after a
car chase; Khari Westly, 33,
of Shreveport, fired twice
at officers on Sunday, and
Christopher Olmstead, 60,
of New Orleans fought
with an officer Saturday.
Nobody else was
wounded in any of the
incidents.
Houma is about 55
miles southwest of New
Orleans, in Cajun country.
Shreveport is about 15
miles from the Texas state
line and 280 miles northwest of New Orleans.
Houma police, Terrebonne Parish sheriff's
deputies and Louisiana
State Police were involved
in Monday's Houma
shooting, state police
spokesman Evan Harrell
told the Courier.
A chase after a theft
suspect had ended when
officers used a deflation
device to stop the man's
car, investigators told
WDSU-TV. The man then
got out of the vehicle and
pointed a weapon toward
the officers, investigators
said.
Sunday's incident in
Shreveport began when a
teenager called, saying
Westly had left a Shreveport home after holding
tional and others work
metaphorically,” she said
of the chairs. “It’s meant to
be like a setting, like three
chairs together for like a
resting area.”
Her art is a release for
her, she says, and it reflects
her moods and emotions.
“I have a little bit of
OCD, so I’m not really satisfied until a piece is just as
I envisioned it,” she said.
“It’s kind of part of my
obsessive compulsive need
to get it done the way I
want. I’m also very sensitive and caring about the
environment and the natural order of things. My feelings and beliefs kind of
grow with my art as various
two-dimensional, threedimensional art with different mediums and tech-
niques.”
Davis, 25, teaches AP art
history at Parker’s Chapel
High School for grades 912. In her classes, she
teaches the history of art
from the time period of the
caveman until today.
She is a 2012 graduate of
Southern Arkansas University with a bachelor of fine
arts degree with an
emphasis in studio art. She
is set to graduate in August
with her master’s in art
from there as well.
A reception will be from
5 until 7 p.m., at Minden
City Artworks, located at
701 Main St., in downtown
Minden. Davis’ exhibit will
run through Sept. 30.
to boost Vitter's candidacy,
the Fund for Louisiana's
Future, reported $4.4 million in its account to independently advocate for the
senator.
Vitter's
donated
$950,000 from his U.S. Senate campaign account to
the PAC, an end-around
Louisiana's prohibitions
against transferring dollars
from a federal campaign
account to a state one.
As candidate activity
ratchets up, Dardenne's in
the next best cash position,
though far behind Vitter.
Dardenne's report showed
nearly $1.9 million in his
campaign account.
"We are running a very
disciplined
campaign,
spending what we can
afford to spend so we can
be competitive as the race
intensifies," Dardenne said
in a statement.
Angelle is spending so
heavily that he and
Edwards have similar cash
on hand, just over $1 million — and that's after
Angelle loaned his campaign
$375,000,
with
$122,000 from his own personal funds and the
remaining $253,000 borrowed from a bank.
Though his Republican
challengers have more
resources for their campaigns, polls currently
show Edwards expected to
grab a November runoff
spot as GOP contenders
split Republican support.
"We're running an efficient, winning campaign,"
Edwards said in a state-
her and another teenager
at gunpoint for nearly
seven hours, according to
police spokesman Bill
Goodin.
Police say Westley
returned when his
estranged wife showed up
to check on the teens,
aged 16 and 19 years old.
Goodin says Westly
fired at least twice at his
wife and once at police,
then ran away. He says a
short chase ended when
Westly turned and shot at
officers again.
Four officers fired back.
They are on paid administrative leave.
On Saturday, New
Orleans police said Olmstead was driving erratically, crashing through a
gate and hitting houses
and parked cars in his
Lower 9th Ward neighborhood, when a resident
flagged down a uniformed
detective working on an
unrelated case in the area.
Olmstead was unarmed
but got out of his car and
fought with Detective Tim-
othy Bender. Police said
Bender fired in selfdefense.
Dr. Jeffrey Rouse, the
Orleans Parish coroner,
said Monday that Olm-
stead was hit in the neck,
chest and abdomen by
bullets that entered the
front of his body.
The shooting remains
under investigation.
Davis says art is a release and a reflection of her moods, emotions

“A lot of my paintings

said. “I’m a really big fan of
Georgia O’Keeffe, which is
a famous floral artist.
When I paint flowers, I feel

GLENBROOK SOFTBALL
Softball swings into action
B LA KE B RA N CH
blake@press-herald.com
The Glenbrook Lady
Apache softball team gets
going this weekend in the
annual
Riverfield
Tournament with a pair of
games against Franklin
and Porter’s Chapel.
Fans will notice a new
face in the dugout and the
coach’s box, as Glenbrook
went out and hired North
Webster’s Tony Mullins to
take over the program.
“I retired this past year
after 34 years of teaching
and coaching in Webster
Parish schools,” Mullins
said. “I was given the
opportunity to come here
to Glenbrook and coach
softball and teach social
studies. I enjoy both so
I’m looking forward to the
challenge.”
Mullins has been practicing with the team for
four weeks now and said
practices have been going
well.
“We have 19 girls out
for the team right now,”
Mullins said. “They’ve
looked really good at
practice everyday. They
listen and do what they’re
supposed to do.”
The veteran coach
inherits a young but talented group of girls, with
just two upperclassmen
expected in the starting
lineup.
“We have one senior in
Carsin Spurlock and one
junior in Megan Sims,”
Mullins said. “I think
Carsin will lead us by
example. She goes out
and does her job everyday. She’s one of the first
ones their everyday and
leads us in practice.”
Mullins returns some
experience despite the
youth on his roster.
Alyssa Martin, just an
eighth grader, is back and
will see plenty of pitching
duties now that Jessica
Mangrum is gone.
Kate Marvin and Kate
Lillig, both sophomores
saw action last year, as
did Kannon Butler.
Mullins also praised
the
performance
of
expected
centerfielder
Kara Bryce.
“I’m not going to make
any excuses,” Mullins
said. “But I’m just trying
to learn most of their
names to be honest. I’m
taking over a good group
and just tweaking it a little
bit. If we compete like
we’ve been practicing
we’ll be in pretty good
shape.”
Glenbrook will start
their season Friday at
10:30
a.m.
against
Franklin Academy, followed by a game with
Porter’s Chapel at 4.

COLLEGE BASEBALL
Two transfer from LSU
BATON ROUGE (AP) Paul Mainieri’s rebuilding
effort just got a little
tougher.
Infielders Grayson Byrd
and Danny Zardon are
transferring, the LSU baseball coach confirmed
Monday night.
Zardon, a rising junior
who never found an everyday role in the lineup, is
leaving the Tigers for Nova
Southeastern, an NAIA
school in Florida where
he’ll be eligible immediate-
ly. Byrd doesn’t know
where he’s transferring, said
Paul Byrd, Grayson’s father
and a former LSU star
pitcher who spent 14 seasons in the major leagues.
Mainieri and staff will
have to rebuild their starting
lineup without two of the
Tigers’ top reserves. Byrd
hit .212 and played in 24
games, starting two at third
base and two at second
base. Zardon, who had a
game-winning
double
against Texas A&M, served
in a pinch-hitting and designated hitter role much of the
season. He lost his starting
job at third base after an
error-filled first few weeks
of the season. He ended up
hitting .288.
LSU lost seven of eight
everyday starters from a
squad last season that
advanced to the College
World Series.
The Tigers will welcome
14 newcomers this year —
several of whom could see
immediate playing time.
LOUISIANA OUTDOORS
Wood thrush: The Celine Dion of the dawn woods
As my wife goes about
doing housework, I’ll
often hear the strains of a
beautiful song coming
from the stereo. I’ll invariably ask her who it is and
for the umpteenth time,
she’ll patiently say “Celine
Dion”. The quality of her
voice is a gift that had to
have come straight from
the portals of Heaven.
One morning recently
as I took my coffee and
paper to the back porch
before sunrise, I heard a
song equal in quality to
Celine. It was a song I’d
been listening for all summer and when I heard it, I
laid aside my morning
paper to soak it all in. The
singer was a shy, timid
wood thrush.
Unless you’re rather
serious about wild bird
identification, chances are
you have never seen a
wood thrush. They’re
reclusive but when no one
is looking at dusk and
dawn this time of year, if
you know what to listen
for, you’ll hear the sweet
melodies this dark little
bird with the speckled
breast emits.
My bird book describes
his song like this….”The
wood thrush has a beautiful,
flute-like
song.
Common song patterns
sound like "tutut-eee-olay-o-eeee" or "tutut-eeeay-eee." There’s a resonance to the song, though,
the bird book can’t capture. You’ll have to hear it
to really appreciate it.
