If you know anyone who is de-serving of these awards, please for-ward all potential candidates to Rev. George A. Turner via email at [email protected] or mail to Rev. George A. Turner, P.O.

Box 179, Ethel, LA, 70730.Potential candidates can also be

FAAA Seeks Nominations for Outstanding Community Leaders

2014 and expected to have five rigs working in the formation by the end of next year.

Turnham said that the more expe-rience drillers gain in the Tuscaloosa the more efficient they become.

Goodrich’s Crosby well, the most productive drilled so far in the TMS, produced 140,000 barrels in 8½ months. It takes around 10 months on average for a well in the Bakken

to produce 100,000 barrels of oil and about 12 months in the Eagle Ford. The Crosby well reached that point in about half the time.

Goodrich expects its wells will produce 600,000 to 800,000 barrels of oil over a 40-year production life, Turnham said. The company thinks the economics of the Tuscaloosa wells, although more expensive to drill, will compare favorably with those in the Eagle Ford.

That’s because the Tuscaloosa has a number of advantages over other formations, including:

• Almost all of the wells’ pro-

duction, 92 percent to 96 percent, is oil. In the Bakken and Eagle Ford, oil accounts for 87 percent and 85 percent of production, respectively.

• Lower royalty rates. Go-odrich is paying an average of 18.5 percent versus 25 percent in the Ea-gle Ford.

• Lower severance taxes in Louisiana and Mississippi.

• The wells produce a higher-quality crude that fetches a higher price.

• Low transportation costs. Goodrich is paying around $2 per barrel to truck the oil to refiners.

Each year throughout the country all the DAR chapters recognize out-standing young people through their DAR Good Citizens program. These students are recognized as outstanding young people who exhibit the quali-ties of good citizenship in their homes, schools, and communities.

The DAR Good Citizens program and Scholarship Contest is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship. The program is open to all high school seniors enrolled in pubic or private schools accredited by

DAR Good Citizens Winners Announcedtheir state board of education.

Old Fashioned USO Dance Raises Funds for Feliciana Veterans MemorialBy Melinda Howell Pictures By BetH dawson

While veterans were remembered in November with ceremonies and celebrations nation-wide and locally, a “USO Dance” benefit held in Jack-son also entertained veterans and raised about $1,200 to go toward the planned construction of the Feliciana Veterans Memorial.

The event was sponsored by the Jackson Tourism Enhancement Committee (JTEC) and the Louisi-ana Veterans Home and featured big-band music by Rosie & the Swingin’ Riveters, an Abbott and Costello comedy routine by The Spotlight Theatre Players and The Andrews Sisters Tribute Trio, all from Den-ham Springs. The ten-piece band and other entertainers donated their ser-vices as did Clinton caterer Connie Landry and her staff who provided hot dogs along with other donated light refreshments.

JTEC spokesperson and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Jim Hendrickson, who portrayed Col. Steve Canyon, served as emcee for the occasion and said the event was held for the sec-ond year and this time at the veterans home at the suggestion of the admin-istrator, John Salter. “It was the ideal place to have it,” said Hendrickson. He said it was also Salter who initial-ly contacted the entertainment for the dance. “Seeing the veterans from the home was the highlight of the eve-ning,” Hendrickson said. Lin Sharpe of Ethel also sang two world-war-II era numbers a cappella.

Hendrickson said plans are to make the dance an annual event. The total money raised by JTEC “is around $15,000 and the planned memorial will cost an estimated $28,000,” according to Hendrickson.

Several door prizes were awarded and a prize for the “best costume” and “best moves” were also given. The oldest resident from the home, 98-year-old Robert Mitchell, was tied in the best dance move category

with retied army pilot Larry Bum-gardner of Jackson and his guest Janice Cook, Hendrickson said. Best costume went to Justin Prejean of Baton Rouge who portrayed a medic.

On Saturday, December 14th at 3:00 PM, the main street of Histor-ic Jackson will bear witness to the Eighth Annual running of the Eb-enezer Scrooge Memorial Reindeer Race. Mayors of the communities of Norwood, Wilson, Clinton, Slaugh-ter, Jackson, and St. Francisville have been invited to represent their respec-tive cities, as well as teams from the Jackson Post Office, East Feliciana Sheriff , District Attorney and East Feliciana Clerk of Courts have been challenged to participate in this epic race for trophies and bragging rights in the Felicianas. State Representa-tive Kenny Havard will wear the white hat of the O-Fish-al Starter for the race.

There is no admission charge, so come and cheer for your favorite team! There will be refreshments, and rumor has it that some “snow-balls” will fly during the affair. The race day is sponsored by the Jackson Tourism Enhancement Committee.

Earlier on this same day, Decem-

ber 14th, come and visit “The Jack-son Second Saturday Market Day”. It takes place between 8:00 AM. to 2:00 PM in front of the Jackson Civic Center.
