Woody Jenkins Editor, Capital City News
How can any-one watch TV or read the newspa-per and not realize that this country of ours is in dire shape and getting worse rapidly? How can they sit by and findtime to go to a ball game on a

Saturday or watch TV or go to a paradebutnotfindtimetoexercisetheir responsibility to vote? This Saturday, we have the runoff
election for the Louisiana Supreme Court. It is a critical election in which a conservative Republican, Jeff Hughes, is facing a moderate Democrat, John Michael Guidry. If Hughes wins, the Republicans will have a 4-3 majority on the highest court in our state, and the court will move in a more conser-vative, constitutionalist direction. But, based on early voting, only about 15 to 20 percent of conserva-tive voters will go to the polls. If that happens, the Democrat candi-date will probably win. Why? It’s very simple. The Democrat candidate has raised over $200,000 for the campaign. But have you seen a lot of TV spots for the Democrat? No, you haven’t. He is spending his money on the streets — on get-out-the-vote ef-forts in the inner city and in the riv-er parishes. Meanwhile, conserva-tive voters see Hughes’ spots on TV and no Guidry spots. They think, “Oh, Hughes has it in the bag!” Hardly. Conservative voters talk to their friends, and every one of their friends is voting for the Republi-

can. They think, “Oh, he’ll win in a breeze!” Hardly. The problem is, they’re just talk-ing to their friends — people who think like they think. But that’s not who will turn out to vote. If there is anything we should pound into one another, it is that we should all take the time to be informed and vote. Recently, I’ve been reading about the secession movement. Some people say states like Louisi-ana should secede from the Union! Secede? Are you kidding me? People are too lazy even to vote. Do you really think they have the motivation to take up arms and fight?That’sridiculous. If people took the time to cam-paign for good candidates, put up yard signs, wave signs on street corners, contribute to candidates, and vote, we wouldn’t have a prob-lem, and no one would be talking about seceding. We’re in a transition right now — from being the freest country in the world to being the laziest coun-try. Think me wrong? Then vote!

Low Turnout CouldDefeat RepublicanEfforts to Gain 4-3Majority on Court BATON ROUGE — With the philo-sophical direction of the Louisiana Supreme Court hanging in the bal-ance, Republican hopes to gain a majority on the court in this Satur-day’s election are looking dim. While Judge Jeff Hughes, the conservative Republican candi-date, is narrowly leading in the polls, Judge John Michael Guidry,
“The fact is, conservative voters complain a lot but, in special elec-tions, they are too lazy to go vote. So they wake up the day after the election surprised the Democrat won. I’d like to tell conservatives, look, we’re losing the country, why don’t you take the time to vote be-fore it’s too late!” Republicans face Democrats in
two other judicial rates: The Court of Appeal, where Judge Mike Mc-Donald (R) is challenged by Gide-on Carter, and City Court, where Judge Suzan Ponder (R) is chal-lenged by Tiffany Foxworth.

THE DEEPWATER PORT known today as the
Port of Greater Baton Rouge was created in 1952 by an act of
the Louisiana legislature. Construction began two years later and the first
vessel, a molasses carrier called the S.S. Clarisse, called on the port in 1956.
FROM THE ARRIVAL of that first ship, the port has served as an economic
engine for the parishes of East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension and
Iberville by providing jobs and attracting industry to the region.
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE PORT is very positive today in the
areas of international trade, maritime commerce, manufacturing
and new industrial expansion. Under the direction of the Port
Commission, the Port of Greater Baton Rouge will continue to
actively promote and grow the assets of this vital public
maritime facility.

Defensive leaders include line-backer Hunter Brian, linebacker Ridge Womack, free safety Aus-tin Suit, defensive back Mannie Mukes, and defensive lineman Victor Gutierrez. Guitierrez has 23 solo tackles this year, 60 assists, and nine quar-terback sacks. Parkview had little trouble de-feating Livonia last Friday night in thestate3Asemi-finals.Thefinalscore was 49-6. The wheels came off Livo-nia in the 3rd quarter. After that, Parkview scored at will. Coach Guillot said the Scotland-
ville and Catholic games were the most memorable of the season. The first game of the seasonagainst 5A Mandeville was can-celled because of bad weather. Af-ter that, Parkview opened the sea-son against Scotlandville, which had been predicted to win District 4-5A.
“We were very inexperiencedgoing into the Scotlandville game,” Guillot remembered. “We grew up a lot in that game. It was very tough physically.” After easy matches against Redemptorist and East St. John, Parkview played Catholic, a 5A powerhouse and a team clearly out
of Parkview’s league. But that didn’t matter to Guillot and his Eagles, who fought their way to a 39-34 victory. Catholic made it to thequarterfinals in thestate 5A playoffs. Parkview won State Champion-ships in 2001 against Belle Chasse, in 2007 against Westlake, and in

Brennan Bozeman drops back for a pass.
Parkview and Notre Dame have met in the playoffs over the past four years. Notre Dame coach Lewis Cook, Jr. joked that Parkview and Notre Dame know each other so well that theydon’treallyneedtoexchangegamefilms. Cook is one of the winningest coaches in Louisiana football his-tory. His victory over East Feli-ciana in the semi-finals last Fri-day gave him an overall record of 287 wins and 75 losses as a coach, movinghimintosixthplaceamongcoaches in career wins. Coach Guillot emphasized these points about Notre Dame: •“Notre Dame always has agood team, often a great team.” •“They are well coached anddisciplined.” •“Theyhaveagreatprogram.” •“Strongdefense” •“Watchfortheirfullback,tail-back, and quarterback.” •“Likecoachesalwayssay,wecan’t afford turnovers or stupid
penalties.” •“We expect four quarters ofhard-nosed football and a close game.”Thanks for Great Season Guillot had high praise for his coaching staff. He especially noted the contributions of offen-sive coordinator Scott Dietrich and defensive coordinator Jay Mayet. “We’ve been together 14 years, and they do a great job.” He mentioned the outstanding off-season work done by Coach Mayet, other coaches, and players. The Eagles have 87 players on their roster, including freshmen. One of the inspirations for the Parkview team this year was the late Samuel Brett Wimberly. Wimberly, who would have been a senior lineman, died suddenly in February after an illness led to a heart ailment. His No. 56 was re-tiredearlierthisyear,thefirsttimea Parkview player’s number has been retired. Coach Guillot said Wimberly’s lost has been difficult for the en-

Guillot said this year’s Eagle team owes a lot to the Parkview administration, faculty, parents, and the community. He said they are especially grateful to the spirit groups such as the Silver Steppers, cheerleaders, and band. “You have to attend one of our prep rallies to
understand the tremendous back-ing we have,” he said.LongYearsofExperience Coach Guillot previously coached at Tara, Broadmoor, and Woodlawn in the Baton Rouge area. He was an assistant coach at McNeese State and Nicholls State. He was out of coaching nine years.
