The LSU OffenseThe Tigers return eight starters on offense, including

four at the skill positions along with three on theoffensive line, under third-year offensive coordinator CamCameron. A year ago with a first-year starter atquarterback in Anthony Jennings, LSU was a run-heavyoffense led by freshman sensation Leonard Fournette.Fournette led the Southeastern Conference in all-purposeyards, and he set an LSU freshman record for rushing

yards with 1,034.The Tigers ranked among the SEC leaders with 224.5

rushing yards a contest in 2014. Overall, LSU averaged27.6 points and 387.5 total yards per game. LSUtopped the 300-yard rushing mark in four games lastyear which including a whopping 384 yards in a 23-17win over Texas A&M.

Joining Fournette as returning starters at the skillpositions for LSU in 2015 include wide receivers TravinDural and John Diarse along with quarterback AnthonyJennings.

Despite the loss of three-year starter and second teamAll-America Lael Collins to the NFL, the Tigers offensiveline returns three players who should all contend forpostseason honors led by senior right tackle VadalAlexander. Hes joined by a pair of juniors in left tackleJerald Hawkins and guard/center Ethan Pocic to anchor

what should be one of the strengths for the Tigers. Thefinal returning starter for LSU in 2015 is tight end DillonGordon, who doubles as a pass catcher and blocker forthe Tigers.

QuarterbacksThe quarterback position is a spot that is expected to

be manned by junior Anthony Jennings (6-2, 216, Jr.-2L) or sophomore Brandon Harris (6-3, 188, So.-1L)but that wont be settled until sometime during presea-son practice. Jennings started all but one game a yearago for the Tigers and guided LSU to an 8-4 mark inthose contests. Jennings features a strong command ofthe offense along with having 22 games of experience

to his credit. For his career, Jennings has completed124-of-256 passes for 1,792 yards, 12 touchdowns andeight interceptions. Hes led LSU on four game-winningdriving during his brief career with the Tigers, and hes9-4 overall a starter.

Harris, with a big arm and the ability to makegame-changing plays with his feet, showed glimpses ofwhat the future may hold at the quarterback position attimes last year, leading LSU to a near unthinkablecomeback against Mississippi State and directingtouchdown scoring drives on seven straight drives in awin over New Mexico State. Harris played in nine gamesduring his rookie season with the Tigers in 2014 withhis lone start coming on the road against Auburn. Hecompleted 25-of-45 passes for 452 yards, six touch-downs and only two interceptions. He also rushed for159 yards and three TDs to account for a total of ninetouchdowns last year.

True freshman Justin McMillan (6-1, 177, Fr.-HS) andsenior Brad Kragthorpe (6-0, 200, Sr.-1L) round out thedepth chart at the quarterback position for the Tigersheading into 2015.

Running BacksIts been a long time since theres been this much

preseason hype for a LSU running back but after theshowing the Leonard Fournette (6-1, 230, So.-1L) puton last year as a rookie, its well-deserved. Fournette islisted among the top running backs in the country goinginto 2015, and hes even been ranked among thefavorites to contend for the Heisman Trophy as thenations top player. Last year, Fournette emerged as one

of the top players at his position in the SEC, rushing for1,034 yards and 10 TDs. He averaged a staggering 5.5yards per carry and led the SEC in all-purpose yards with137.4 a contest. He doubled as a game-breaker at kickreturner where he averaged 26.0 yards a return. Hecapped his rookie season with a 100-yard kickoff returnfor a TD against Notre Dame to go with an 89-yardtouchdown run against the Irish in the Music City Bowl.

Fournette will be joined the backfield by sophomoreDarrel Williams (6-0, 230, So.-1L), who rushed for 302yards and three touchdowns as a true freshman in2014. The Tigers will welcome three of the top highschool running backs in the nation to the roster this yearwith the addition of Derrius Guice (5-11, 216, Fr.-HS),Nick Brossette (6-0, 214, Fr.-HS), and Lanard Fournette(5-10, 185, Fr.-HS).

FullbacksThe fullback position will continue to play a prominent

role in the LSU offense, and the Tigers will count on J.D.Moore (6-3, 229, So.-1L) to help fill the gap left withthe departure of two-year starter Connor Neighbors tograduation.

Moore transitioned to fullback fulltime during thespring with good results. Hes expected to lead a young,but talented group at the position that will also include apair of true freshmen in David Ducre (6-0, 239, Fr.-HS)and BryKiethon Mouton (6-1, 250, Fr.-HS). TonyUpchurch (6-1, 230, Fr.-RS), a converted wide receiver,rounds out the list of fullbacks for the Tigers.

Wide ReceiversWide receiver may be the deepest and talented

position on the field for LSU in 2015 as the Tigers returnfour players who have started and played significantsnaps. LSU wideouts caught 83 passes among fourplayers last year and all four of those return in 2015 ledby junior Travin Dural (6-2, 194, Jr.-2L). Dural headlinesthe group as one of the most explosive playmakers inthe SEC. Dural is averaging 20 yards per catch for his 44career receptions, and he scored on TDs of 94 and 80yards last year in his first full season as a starter.

A trio of sophomores made a big impact on thepassing game for LSU last year led by Trey Quinn (6-0,194, So.-1L), who ranked second on the team with 17catches for 193 yards in his seven starts. John Diarse(6-0, 210, So.-1L) showed his big-play capability byopening the year with a 36-yard fourth quarter TDagainst Wisconsin that helped spark the comeback winand then closed the season with a 75-yard scoringreception against Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl.Diarse finished the season with 15 catches for 275yards and three touchdowns. Malachi Dupre (6-3, 187,So.-1L), a unique athlete with tremendous receivingskills, finished second on the team with five touchdowns

in 2014. He caught 14 passes for 317 yards andaveraged a team-high 22.7 yards per catch.

D.J. Chark (6-2, 184, So.-SQ) played sparingly as atrue freshman in 2014 but is coming off perhaps thebest spring of all LSU receivers. Chark led LSU inreceiving in every spring scrimmage and positionedhimself to be the rotation once the season starts.

Newcomers Tyron Johnson (6-2, 192, Fr.-HS), DerrickDillon (5-11, 174, Fr.-HS) and Jazz Ferguson (6-5,214, Fr.-HS) all come to LSU with a chance to competefor playing time in 2015.

Tight EndsA critical part to the LSU offense is the play of the

tight end, and thats one spot on the field where theTigers return a mixture of talent. Senior and returningstarter Dillon Gordon (6-4, 295, Sr.-3L) is a punishingblocker who also displays soft and reliable hands in thepassing game. Colin Jeter (6-6, 236, Jr.-1L) is a threatin the vertical and intermediate passing game, whileDeSean Smith (6-5, 242, Jr.-2L) is hybrid with goodsize but also has good speed and creates mismatchproblems for linebackers. Smith had his best game in theseason-finale last year against Notre Dame with fourcatches for 66 yards, both career-highs. Redshirtfreshman Jacory Washington (6-5, 221, Fr.-RS) is muchlike that of Smith in that hes got great athletic ability

and can create mismatch issues for opposing defenses inthe passing game.Foster Moreau (6-5, 237, Fr.-HS) and Hanner Shipley

(6-5, 284, Fr.-HS) are both true freshmen who will havean opportunity to contribute in 2015.

Offensive LinemenOne of the biggest strengths for LSU in 2015 will be

that of the offensive line as the Tigers return threestarters up front led by senior right tackle VadalAlexander (6-6, 320, Sr.-3L), who has a combined 34career starts at left guard (25 starts) and right tackle(9). Hes joined by junior left tackle Jerald Hawkins(6-6, 309, Jr.-2L) and junior guard/center Ethan Pocic(6-7, 301, Jr.-2L) as returning starters for the Tigers.Hawkins, with tremendous reach and outstandingfootwork, may be the next great LSU offensive lineman.

He will shift to left tackle in 2015 after starting 25games at right tackle as a freshman and sophomore.Pocic displays tremendous run and pass blocking skillsand is versatile enough to play any position on the lineof scrimmage. Hes penciled in to start alongsideHawkins at left guard giving LSU as dominant aguard-tackle combination as there will be in collegefootball in 2015.

Josh Boutte (6-5, 340, Jr.-1L) made big strides duringthe spring and is in position to take over the startingspot at right guard in 2015, while redshirt freshmanWilliam Clapp (6-5, 295, Fr.-RS) emerged from thespring as a potential candidate for the center spot. Clappwill be pushed by sophomore Andy Dodd (6-4, 336,So.-1L) for playing time at center.

K.J. Malone (6-4, 289, So.-1L) and Garrett Brumfield(6-4, 309, Fr.-RS) will be in the rotation at the guardpositons in 2015. Malone, who appeared on theoffensive line in four games in 2014, has alsocross-trained at center and can fill-in at that spotif necessary.

top offensive line prospects, all of which will be inposition to compete for significant playing time in thenear future. The list of newcomers include tackle TobyWeathersby (6-5, 303, Fr.-HS), lineman Chidi Valentine-Okeke (6-6, 315, Fr.-HS), tackle George Brown Jr. (6-6,283, Fr.-HS), guard Adrian Magee (6-5, 366, Fr.-HS)and guard Maea Teuhema (6-4, 323, Fr.-HS).

The LSU DefenseDefense has been the foundation that Les Miles has

built his program around and 2015 will be no different,as the Tigers under the direction of first-year coordinator

Kevin Steele, return six starters from a unit that led theSEC in total defense and pass defense a year ago.

Under Miles, the Tiger defense has produced 20touchdowns, while also playing a significant role in LSUs24 fourth-quarter comebacks over the last 10 years.Since 2005, LSU has finished in the top 3 in the SEC intotal defense and scoring defense eight times, in rushingdefense six times, and in passing defense four times.Under Miles, LSU has finished outside of the top 4 in theSEC in scoring defense just one time (9th in 2008).

Steele, along with defensive line coach Ed Orgeron,have brought new energy to what was already a verytalented defense. If the 15 spring practices were anyindication as to how the transition will be to Steele,then the Tigers will be in good shape as playersbounced around the practice field with high energyand enthusiasm.

The strength of LSUs defense is right up the middle asthe Tigers return their two defensive tackles in ChristianLaCouture and Davon Godchaux along with middlelinebacker Kendell Beckwith and safety Jalen Mills.

TreDavious White, a dynamic playmaker, is back forhis third year as a starter at cornerback, while outsidelinebacker Lamar Louis rounds out the list of returningstarters for the Tigers.

Defensive EndsLSU will have to replace both of its defensive ends due

to the departure of Danielle Hunter, who was picked inthe third round of the NFL Draft and Jermauria Rasco,who finished his eligibility after starting for two years forthe Tigers.

As a result of the loss of Hunter and Rasco, LSUsdefensive end position will feature a pair of first-timestarters in 2015. Among those players vying for thestarting job include Lewis Neal (6-1, 255, Jr.-2L),Tashawn Bower (6-5, 237, Jr.-2L), Sione Teuhema (6-4,232, So.-1L) and Maquedius Bain (6-4, 299, So.-1L).Bower, with 19 tackles in 19 games, and Neal, with 10tackles in 23 games, are the most experienced of the

group.Deondre Clark (6-3, 244, So.-1L) will likely be among

the players in the rotation at defensive end, while M.J.Patterson (6-3, 231, So.-SQ) emerged from spring prac-tice as a player to watch heading into 2015. NewcomersIsaiah Washington (6-4, 255, Fr.-HS) and Arden Key (6-6, 230, Fr.-HS) were both highly-touted coming out ofhigh school and could push for playing time as true fresh-men in 2015.

Defensive TacklesLSU returns both of its starting defensive tackles as

junior Christian LaCouture (6-5, 300, Jr.-2L) andsophomore Davon Godchaux (6-4, 298, So.-1L) areback after starting the final 10 games alongside eachother in 2014. LaCouture is the most experienced ofLSUs defensive linemen with 26 appearances and 13starts. Hes recorded 51 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and3.5 sacks during his two years with the Tigers. Godchauxneeded just three games before taking over the startingjob where he quickly established himself as one of thetop freshmen defensive tackles in the country. Godchaux

finished his rookie season with 42 tackles as he helpedanchor a Tiger defense that led the league in total yardsand pass defense.

Senior Quentin Thomas (6-4, 303, Sr.-2L), and a pairof sophomores in Greg Gilmore (6-5, 305, So.-SQ) andFrank Herron (6-4, 278, So.-SQ) will be part of thedefensive tackle rotation. Thomas worked his way into astarting role last year before suffering an arm injury earlyin the year that slowed his progress and limited hisplaying time. He still managed to play in 11 gameswith three starts.

LinebackersThe Tigers return two starters and two others who

have at least one start to their credit at the positionheading into 2015. One of the anchors for the LSUdefense this year will be middle linebacker Kendell

Beckwith (6-2, 245, Jr.-2L), who took over as thestarter midway through the 2014 season and quicklyestablished himself as a future star. Beckwith rankedsecond on the team last year with 77 tackles and 7.5tackles for loss despite not cracking the starting lineupuntil the seventh game of the season. Beckwith, aformer high school quarterback, showed just what typeof playmaker he can be as he scored on a 29-yardinterception against New Mexico State, had agame-changing sack against Ole Miss, and successfullyconverted a fake punt with a 5-yard run against

Wisconsin.Lamar Louis (5-11, 229, Sr.-3L) joins Beckwith as

the other returning starter for the Tigers. Louis, whomans the Sam linebacker spot, has started 15 games inhis career and posted 67 tackles. Deion Jones (6-1,220, Sr.-3L) is slated to start at the Will linebackerafter making a name for himself as a special teamsstandout during his first three years with the Tigers.

Jones and Duke Riley (6-1, 218, Jr.-2L) have both start-ed one game during their career but bring a great dealof experience to the position for the Tigers in 2015.Jones has 65 career tackles, while Riley has27 career stops.

Ronnie Feist (6-1, 224, Jr.-2L) will backupBeckwith in the middle, while Donnie Alexander (6-1,201, So.-1L) and Devin Voorhies (6-2, 208, So.-1L)will see action behind Jones at one of the outsidelinebacker positions.

CornerbacksTreDavious White (5-11, 191, Jr.-2L), one of the

LSU veterans no matter the position, has developed intoone of the top cornerbacks in the nation going into hisjunior season. White has started 24 games and hesintercepted four passes to go along with 88 tackles and

13 pass breakups for an LSU defense that led theleague in total yards and pass defense in 2014.

Ed Paris (6-1, 208, So.-1L) and true freshman KevinToliver II (6-2, 192, Fr.-HS) were both impressiveduring the spring and are slated to compete for thecornerback slot opposite White. Paris played in 13games last year as a true freshman, seeing most of hisaction on special teams. Toliver II, who was listed as thetop cornerback in high school last year, enrolled at LSUearly and went through spring drills with the Tigers.

Dwayne Thomas (6-0, 182, Jr.-2L) is expected to beback at full strength after suffering a season-endinginjury in the fifth game of the year. Thomas will find aplace on the field in some capacity in the secondary dueto his playmaking and leadership ability.

Russell Gage (6-0, 180, So.-SQ) along with newcom-ers Donte Jackson (5-11, 168, Fr.-HS), and Xavier Lewis(6-0, 186, Fr.-HS) will be in position to contribute in thesecondary or on special teams in 2015.

SafetiesLSUs safeties are a versatile and an athletic group

that will once again be asked to play aggressive while

also being dependable in coverage. LSUs secondaryfeatures two of the top safeties in the SEC in seniorJalen Mills (6-1, 189, Sr.-3L) and sophomore JamalAdams (6-0, 206, So.-1L). Mills has started every gameof his LSU career (39) and is the only player on theteam with over 100 career tackles (186). Mills hasproven to be an asset in stopping the run, while alsobeing good in coverage. He has six career interceptionsand 13 pass breakups.

Adams quickly developed into one of the mostexplosive players on the team as a true freshman a yearago with a hard-hitting, relentless mindset on the field.Adams racked up 66 tackles along with 5.0 tackles forloss and a sack in 2014 as he played in all 13 gameswith two starts.

Rickey Jefferson (6-0, 204, Jr.-2L), Corey Thompson(6-2, 218, Jr.-2L), and John Battle (6-1, 186, So.-1L)

are three players with significant game experience thatwill be counted on to contribute in the secondaryin 2015.

Jefferson has made a number of big plays during hisfirst two years with the Tigers but none bigger than hisfourth quarter interception that set-up LSUs game-win-ning field goal to beat Florida last year. Jefferson has29 tackles and a pair of interceptions to his credit.Thompson is expected back at full speed in 2015 aftermissing all of last season with a knee injury. Thompsonstarted five games in 2013 and has played in 23contests during his career, totaling 51 tackles and three

pass breakups. Battle played in just one game a yearago but a good spring followed by a strong showing inthe offseason program has him in position to contributemore in 2015.

The LSUSpecial Teams

Another signature of a Les Miles team is that ofquality special teams play. Under Miles, LSU hasaccounted for 22 touchdowns on special teams which

includes 12 punt returns for TDs, four kickoff returns forTDs, two blocked field goals for TDs, and one TD each ona blocked punt, fumbled punt, fake field goal, andmissed field goal.

LSU is 19-2 when scoring a special teams touchdown

since 2005, and the Tigers have scored at least one TDon special teams in each of Miles 10 years at theschool.

Bradley Dale Peveto has served as LSUs special teamscoordinator for four years over two different stints withthe Tigers and is considered to be one of the top specialteams coordinators in college football.

PlacekickersColby Delahoussaye (5-10, 176, Jr.-2L) is back for his

third year as LSUs primary placekicker. In his first twoyears with the Tigers, Delahoussaye has converted 24-of-29 field goals, including 14-of-16 from 30 yards or

longer. Hes backed up by Trent Domingue (6-1, 170,Jr.-1L), who made 2-of-4 field goals last year andCameron Gamble (5-11, 190, So.-1L). Domingue andGamble also share kickoff duties for the Tigers.

PuntersJamie Keehn (6-4, 220, Sr.-3L), LSUs second straight

Australian punter, will once again handle all puntingduties for the Tigers in 2015. Last year, Keehn earnedsecond team All-SEC honors after ranking No. 2 in theleague with a 44.9 average. For his career, Keehn isaveraging 43.5 yards a punt and hes downed 48 of126 punts inside the opponent 20-yard line.

Keehn will be backed up by another Aussie in JoshGrowden (6-4, 220, Fr.-HS), who signed with the Tigerslast spring.

Return SpecialistsLSU returns both of its return specialists in 2015 as

TreDavious White is expected to return punts, whileLeonard Fournette will handle kickoff returns. Whiteranked among the SEC leaders in punt returns last yearwith a 10.9 average on 25 returns. He returned a punt67 yards for a touchdown against Kentucky.

Fournette led the SEC in all-purpose yards in 2014and he was among the league leaders in kickoff returnswith a 26.0 average on 24 returns. Fournette closed theyear with a 100-yard kickoff return for a TD againstNotre Dame in the Music City Bowl.

Jamal Adams will backup White on punt returns, whileTravin Dural will contribute in the kickoff return game.

Snappers

Reid Ferguson (6-2, 236, Sr.-3L) has handled nearlyevery snap both placekicks and punts since walkingon campus as a true freshman in 2012. He will becounted on to do the same for LSU in 2015 as heslisted as a preseason All-America heading into his seniorseason. Ferguson is a placekicker and punters dream ashis snaps are right on the mark every time.

Reid Ferguson will be backed up by his youngerbrother Blake Ferguson (6-3, 215, Fr.-HS), who signedwith the Tigers after being thought of as the nations topprep long snapper a year ago.

New BridalJewelry DesignsOffer ManyExciting Optionswith Layne Gautreau

Perhaps the biggest news in bridal

jewelry is the prominence of threemajor trends: three stone rings,fancy diamond shapes, and rings

set with colored diamonds andcolored gemstones. Currently,many three stone rings feature awhite diamond center stoneflanked by two colored diamondside stones with the added dazzleof white diamond pav.

The most popular fancy diamondshapes for todays brides includethe elegant cushion, the squareAsscher or princess cut, and theoval. But the classic round brilliantdiamond shape is still the leader.

Todays favorite colored diamondis canary yellow with pink comingon strong. When surrounded bywhite diamonds, these make anexciting and different engagementring. And many wedding rings are

featuring diamond center stones inall shades of pink as well as deepblue, or gray-blue surrounded byround brilliant diamonds foradded dazzle.

Jewelry Doctor SummertimeJewelry Care

Hot summer days and nights areoften dangerous times for preciousjewelry. Pearls, diamonds, goldrings and tennis bracelets arefrequently victims. Active sports,perspiration, pool water, and highhumidity can dim the luster andeven cause the loss of valuablegems due to weakened settings.Here are some tips to protect yourjewelry this summer.

Diamonds are magnets forgrease which can reduce theirbrilliance. Remove greasy residuethat builds up from skin oils, soap,and airborne particles by soakingdiamonds regularly in alcohol.

Pearls should be worn touchingclothes not skin. Perspiration canweaken silk cords. Wipe pearlsafter every wearing. Avoid chemi-cals. Put pearls on after hair sprayand perfume. Let us check to see ifrestringing is needed.

Karat Gold can be damaged bythe chlorine in swimming poolwater as well as in many householdproducts. Always remove gold

jewelry before swimming or doinghousework.

Tennis bracelets containingmany gems are at risk if prongs areworn or weakened by wear orrough treatment. Now is the timeto let us do a safety check on yourbracelets, rings, and necklacesbefore any gems are lost.

Are youSurviving?Are you happy with where you arein life? Are you really fulfilled?

A guest pastor asked us a fewweeks ago, Are you surviving?

If so, thats not exactly where youwant to be, unless youve recentlybeen through a life threateningevent. You should not survive butthrive. But in order to thrive,youve got to have the rightenvironment. Just like plants needsunlight and water, we also needelements in and around us toflourish. As human beings, weshould all be growing anddeveloping - emotionally,mentally, and certainly spiritually.Stagnant water is not good todrink from, and neither should webe stagnant.

Have a clearVISION

Every brilliant idea or inventionstarted with and idea and that ideastarted a vision. So why not havea vision for your life? If your visionis hazy or uncertain, make it clear.Spend some time with yourselfand use your imagination. If youwould consider your perfect lifewhat would it look like? Maybeits time for you to sit down withpen and paper and write downwhat that vision looks like. Ibelieve that as life happens we loseour hope for what we thought

would be an amazing future forourselves, so its important that as

life happens we keep our vision,even if that vision changes! Imnot saying life is perfect, (for in

this life we will have hardships)but we should never give up on

our hopes and dreams. Its whatgives us that sparkle in our eyes,that thing that everyone knows

but cant define, and that passionto get up in the morning withundeniable energy in our bodies.

Surround yourselfwith people thatINSPIRE

Just like natural elements (the sun,wind, earth, and rain) make up the

Sonny Lamendola had abirthday party at Carol Gautreau'shouse on the 21 of July, althoughhis birthday was the 20th. Friendsgather every Tuesday at Gautreau'sin the past, so they decided tomake the 21st a party for Sonny.Many friends attended thegathering to help celebrate theoccasion. Kenny Mattassa assistedhis son Tony in cooking ribs forthe event. Tony is the Chef for

Shoppers Choice.From his humble beginnings,

the third child of Angelo and Eva(Smiley). He walked to school. Inhigh school he played basketballand was also a Bulldog cheerleader. Before he went to schoolhe had to get up early and work inhis fathers store. Usually in themeat dept butchering meat,because at that time stores had tobreak down a whole side of beef.

Some of his high schoolbuddies were Buck and MikeBanker, Byron Gautreau, NorrisRushing and Sully LeBlanc just toname a few. Most streets weregravel and the end of Gonzalesmain road was about where theBlue Runner factory is today withonly a dirt road leading out to theMississippi River.

After high school he joined thenavy and served on the ship

Chicago in Japan. He returnedhome to marry his high schoolsweet heart Nona M. Gautreauand begin his family andbusiness career.

He has fathered 5 children and7 grandchildren. He wasintrumental in getting FirstNational Bank of Gonzales here.At the time it was the second bankin Gonzlaes and he was on theboard of directors for many years.To begin his work as a real estatedeveloper, he went to WashingtonDC to have property annexed intothe city limits known today as

Pecan Grove Estates. His love forhis town kept him developing inthe city limits. Success did notcome to him easy, he made manysacrifices.

Sonny along with his brotherGlenn helped to organize theAssociated Grocers and build thewarehouse that was then locatednear the governors masion inBaton Rouge. He later became thepresident of Associated Grocersand worked along side many ofthe prominent Baton RougeSupermarket owners. Sonny andthe late Paul LeBlanc were good

friends and had many businessventures together.

To add to his grocery store busi-ness he became a ship channeler,(at that time only 33 in the coun-try). He would deliver food, goodsand money to the ocean goingvessels that would dock on theMississippi River such as theTexaco Ships and at the OrmetPlant along with many other sitesfrom Baton Rouge to New

Orleans. After the ships werecleared from customs he would bethere to board the ship, manytimes in the middle of the night tomeet with the captain and get hisfood order. He also serviced themany tug boats on the river.Although he had his finger in the

growth of Gonzales he is and avidhunter and fisherman and stillenjoys doing so with friends andhis grandson.

Sonny is the 2nd generationowner of Lamendola'sSupermarket and is also the

Loui: "Thank you for always being there for me. Thanks for teach-ing and guiding me. Your energy and spirit at 87 years old are aninspiration to everyone."

Sonny along with other local

businessmen established theGonzales Savings and Loan whichwas in operation for many years.In 1983 people actually campedoutside the savings and loan to befirst in line to get the low interestrate of 13.5%. He and the board

of directors and many investorslost huge amounts of money whenthe Saving and Loan failed, due tothe great oil crunch of the late80s, however this did not deterhim what so ever, he continuedmoving forward, buying and sell-

ing land and whatever came hisway. He even bought the old FirstBaptist Church that was thenlocated on Railroad Street and itbecame a school.

He built and sold the buildingthat became SouthwestComputers at Burnside andCornerview St. He also developedseveral business warehouse areas inthe city along La.30.

Microscopesin Dentistry

Because BadThings Come inSmall Packages

By Calvin Bessonet, DDS,FAGD

Dr.Bessonet is among only1% of dentists in the world whouse a surgical microscope inhis practice.

Seeing is Succeeding

The human mouth isn't a verybig place. And the structures

within your mouth that are ofconcern are even smaller.Furthermore, most of thethings that affect your oralhealth are just plain tiny.Sometimes the causes of

problems are invisible to thenaked eye. Areas of decay onthe teeth start small, so if yourdentist uses a microscope hecan find and treat the decay

with a small filling that will notonly be invisible, but willpreserve the maximum amountof tooth structure ensuring thehealth and stability of thattooth. It is very common forteeth with large fillings to

develop cracks in them. If thecracks go unnoticed by yourdentist, they will eventuallyresult in the need for rootcanals. Sometimes, if the crackprogresses too far before treat-ment, the tooth will become

hopeless and have to beremoved. The key toconservative treatment isfinding and treating theproblems early, but you canttreat what you cant see! Andthe better your dentist can seethese things, the better workhe'll be able to do for you-

whether its preventive,restorative, or cosmetic.

Bigger is Better

That's exactly why Dr. Bessonetuses a microscope in so many ofhis cases. Consider a root canalsituation, for example.Thorough cleaning out of

debris and decay in tooth itselfis absolutely critical to thesuccess of the treatment, and tothe long-term health of thepatient. The task in such a caseis to completely clean out allthe harmful Bacteria in the rootcanal system that is made up ofmultiple, tiny canals within theroots that are about the size ofpencil lead sometimes. Using ahigh-powered, illuminateddental microscope, he can

clearly see all the areas withinthat tiny space and removedebris until the root canal areais truly clean. If any debris ornerve tissue is left behind inthose canals, the root canal

will not work and the toothwill either have to be retreatedor extracted.

Precision is

PerfectionAnother advantage ofmicroscope use is that itenables Dr. Bessonet toperform restorative andcosmetic procedures withunbeatable precision. Teeth

surfaces and areas needingrepair are seen for what theyreally are, so that materials andmethods can be chosenaccordingly. There's nothingleft to guesswork or chance.

And the result of this attentionto detail is accuracy of fit,beautiful shaping, and a perfectsmile. Many times the key tosuccessful and long lastingcosmetic treatment is preserv-ing as much enamel as possible.By using a microscope,Dr. Bessonet can be ultraconservative in the way heshapes the teeth, ensuringbeautiful, stable results.

The SandwichGeneration

I dont know how this slipped byme with the type of work I do, butJuly was National SandwichGeneration Month. I would say ahappy belated National Sandwich

Generation Month to my clientsand others in this demographic,but I know their lives are oftenanything but happy. For those of

you unaware of what the sand-wich generation is, it is the gener-ation of people who are handlingcare issues for their parents and/orgrandparents while at the sametime taking care of their childrenand/or grandchildren. In myestate planning and elder law prac-tice, I see many people in thisdemographic and they are often

exhausted and at their wits end.This article will describe the sand-

wich generation in more detailand give some pointers to helppeople faced with the responsibili-ties on taking care of both of thesefronts.

According to the Pew ResearchCenter, 1 in 8 Americans is takingcare of a parent and a child simul-taneously. The U.S. CensusBureau says the number of peopleover 65 will double by 2030 sothis number is only going toincrease. Carol Abaya first coinedthe term sandwich generation todescribe those sandwichedbetween their aging parentsand/or grandparents and still rais-ing their own young children orstill supporting their adult chil-dren. Nearly 47% of adults in their40s and 50s fall into this categoryand about 15% of middle-agedadults are providing financial sup-port for both a parent and a child.The responsibilities of care andfinancial support can be over-

whelming and many people do notknow where to turn for help.

Seeing an attorney may not be thefirst thing that comes to mind

when trying to deal with sand-wich generation responsibilities,but an elder law attorney may be a

very good place to start. First, anelder law attorney can make sure

you have the proper documents inplace in case you need to makefinancial or health care decisionsfor your parent or grandparent.

Additionally, an elder law attorneywill know the requirements forgovernment programs, likeMedicaid and VA benefits, thatmight allow you to pay for someoutside care and provide you somerespite. At the same time, if youare paying for these costs out of

your own pocket, an elder law

attorney may be able to find thefunding so you wont have to.

Many elder law attorneys also are awealth of information when itcomes to finding out about youraging parents or grandparentsSocial Security and Medicare pay-ments. They also often knowabout Medicare Supplement andMedicare Advantage plans. Sinceelder law attorneys often deal withclients needing long-term care,they may be able to assist you withthe legal issues associated withbringing someone into your lovedones home to assist with their

care. When home care is nolonger feasible, they may also beable to assist you with finding theright assisted living facility or nurs-ing home and how you can pay forcare there.

Some elder law attorneys also offerlife care planning for their clients.

A life care plan is a plan thataddresses the legal, financial andcare issues that go along withaging and loss of capacity. It pro-

vides a roadmap to help you and

your loved ones prepare for thethings we know will happen alongthe elder care continuum. Lifecare planning may also provide asocial worker or other professionalto help you deal with these issues.

As difficult as being in the sand-wich generation is, the loss of aloved one which often ends thefeeling of being sandwiched

presents its own set of problems.An elder law attorney can alsoassist you with wrapping up yourloved ones estate and distributingproperty to those who are toreceive it.

The sandwich generation isntgoing away any time soon; rather,the number of Americans involvedin caring for their parents andgrandparents while at the sametime caring for their children andgrandchildren is only going toincrease. Along with this increasein numbers comes an increasedneed for resources. Starting with

an elder law attorney is a verygood place to begin finding theresources you need to alleviatesome of the stress of being in thesandwich generation.

Silkpeel Q & AWhat is Silkpeeldermalinfusion?

The SilkPeel DermalinfusionSystem combines non-invasiveexfoliation with deep delivery ofpatient-specific solutions directly tothe skin. The Silk Peel stimulatesnew cell growth andaddresses your specific skincondition, giving your skinthe revitalization you want.Your skin immediately looksclearer and brighter and

definitely feels smootherand your makeup will goon easily.

How is SilkPeel differentfrom othermicrodermabrasionprocedures?

While they both remove aportion of the upper layer ofthe skin, or the stratumcorneum, a SilkPeel is muchmore controlled and consistent in

the way it operates. That isbecause, rather than blastingparticles at skin (as with oldermicroderm devices), or pushing anabrasive tip across the skin by hand,dermalinfusion uses the controlledvacuum pressure to pull the skin upinto a chamber in the hand piece,where it is evenly abraded justas agressively or as softly as thevacuum pressure is set by ourskincare professional.

Is there any downtime withSilkpeel dermalinfusion?

Usually there is no downtime withthe SilkPeel, but some patientscan experience tightening of theskin and mild exfoliation. Post

treatment the skin may be slightlypink but this should last for aboutone hour. Patients can return backto work post treatment or resumetheir everyday routine.

Who should get a Silkpeel?

All skin types can benefit from theSilkPeel treatment. The SilkPeelcan help anyone who has acne, sundamage, hyperpigmentation, brownspots, mild wrinkles, skin dullnessand large pores. Even the mostsensitive-skin individual maybenefit from a silk peel that hasbeen adjusted for their skin type.

How often should I geta Silkpeel?

To jump start your new skinwe recommend 3-4 treatments

2 weeks apart and maintenanceevery 2-3 months. However, evenone silk peel will usually refreshyour skin for up to six weeks.

It was the opening day of doveseason. The weather was typical forthat time of year, very hot with achance of thunderstorms. Twofriends and I had decided to makethe trip out to Wilma, LA. to hunt

a hay field that the Louisiana Dept.of Wildlife and Fisheries had leasedfrom a local farmer for the openingday hunt.

After signing in at the requiredlocation, the Department officialsgave us a rundown of the land onwhich we were allowed to hunt.They also told us of the requiredparking locations, one in particularwas near the farmer's house andbarn. I've learned from experiencethat those locations can be verygood for a dove hunt, but they alsocan be very crowded. We made thedecision to hunt the field near thesign-up location.

After parking, we began our trekinto the field with the thought offinding a shade tree in mind. Wefinally settled in after walking aboutfive hundred yards. It was hot andthe action was slow but every nowand then we would get a shot. Iwas content with my spot andfigured if I made my shots countI would kill a few birds. After all itwas the first day of hunting seasonand I was just happy to be there.

After a couple of hours I hadmanaged to harvest two birds. Inthe distant I could hear quiet a bitof shooting around the barn area.By now it's smoking hot and fromthe sound of the shooting it wouldbe at least a five hundred yard walkto get there. I contemplated for along time making that walk towhere the shooting was. As I satthere I thought back to the days,not that long ago, where thatdecision would have been ano-brainer. In those days I wouldhave walked right into the heart of

that action no matter how hot itwas, or how much water I had, orhow far off it was.

As our planet continued its

constant rotation I stayed put atmy location and followed the shadeof my chosen tree. By late after-noon I had managed to kill sixdoves and finally decided to headhome to listen to the LSU Tiger

football game on the radio. Thatdecision would not have been madeseveral years back because there wasanother hour or so of legal huntingtime available. I could hear that theshooting around the barn area wasstill hot and heavy as I was headingback to the truck. Believe me,during the walk back it began tobother me that I had left a littleearly and that I had not made thejourney to the best shooting. I hadprobably made the correct decision,but it really hurt me deep down toknow that the distance that I hadwalked that day would someday becut in half. And THAT distancewould someday be cut in half andbefore you know it the distancethat I will be able to travel will bezero. That days a coming and Idon't look forward to it. For nowI'm very satisfied with my physicalcondition but believe me, there wasa day years ago that I woulda beenright in the middle of that action...

Until Next Time,

When Chris Kenner of-well,New Orleans-wrote his 2-chordmasterpiece of simplicity calledI Like It Like That, he hadno idea it would be recorded bythe British Invasions secondteam-the Dave Clark Five-and

later used in a Miller Lite beercommercial.

In another part of theCrescent City-the New OrleansFairgrounds-a popularexpression among track rats isWho do you like? althoughin my case- considering myrecent record in predicting theoutcome of horse races- thequestion might be Who do

you not like?I guess the moral to the story

is that sometimes a simple Ilike that or I dont like that

is a more appropriate answerthan these rambling diatribesthat some of our would-beleaders would shovel our

way today.For instance, I dont like

many of the recent headlinesbecause they are dominated byDonald Trump, Cecil the Lionand 100 degree temperatures-none of which are appealing tome in the Dog Days of August.

On the other hand, I didenjoy the poem by the retiredteacher in Smileys column theother day which ended, I havea new motto that hits the spot.The kids are back in school, butIm not.

Now stick with me while wetransfer that train of thought tothe upcoming LSU footballseason. I like the fact that wehave a new defensivecoordinator and that one ofLouisianas favorite sons-EdBa-Ba Orgeron is coachingthe defensive line. And aHeisman candidate in LeonardFournette running behind anexperienced offensive linecant hurt.

But my dislikes would be thequarterback situation-join thecrowd-and the depth issue onthe defensive line. But letstake it a step forward and breakdown all the Tigers opponentsusing the like-dislike theory.Ill even throw in some of mysecret tailgating tips-like itor not.

Lets start with

1. McNeese State-Dislikes-When I was at USL

a few name changes ago, we

played McNeese in the late 60sfor the old Gulf StatesConference championship.

After an entire day of smokeand drink, we stumbled intothe stadium moments beforethe kickoff only to hear a LakeCharles holy man complete hisinvocation with And as theChristians overcame the Lions,so may our Cowboys overcomethese Cajuns.

I dont remember a lot about

what happened next exceptsomeone screaming, The hellwith McNeese, lets get thatpreacher, and a mob of reallyRagin Cajuns going over therail onto the field. To make along story short, it marked thefirst time I was ever dishonor-ably discharged from a gamebefore the kickoff.

Likes-The pool party at theLake Charles LAuberge is asclose to Vegas as you will get.Bring your Dollar Generalglasses so you wont miss any of

the sights.Tips-A main dish of Cowboybeans will help your guests cre-ate the campfire flatulencescene from Blazing Saddles

when the Pokes run out of gasin the second half.

2. Miss State-

Dislikes-How can you like atown that once arrested JohnnyCash for picking flowers andtook him to the Starkville CityJail? At least he got a hit song

out of it.Likes-LSU always beatsState-except last year when

despite being completelydominated, the Tigers came

within a tipped Hail Mary passfrom pulling off a miraclecomeback.

Tips-No Bluebell? Get someknockoff Cowbell Ice Creamfor your party as the Dogsget creamed.

3. Auburn-

Dislikes-Former coach

Tommy Tuberville fired up thisrivalry when he lit up a kingsized cigar on the field after a

win in Tiger Stadium.Likes-This game is rarely

boring as weve had EarthquakeGames, a Barn Burning, and alast-second touchdown when afield goal would have done.

Tips-Turn down thethermostat for this 2:30 kickoffand serve War Eagle gumboas the real Tigers stew theimpostors.

4. Syracuse-Dislikes-Your nickname is

just Orange? Seriously? Whynot Clockwork Orange orOrange Crush or Orange

you on basketball probation forthe rest of this century?

Likes-I have fond memoriesof the 1965 Sugar Bowl whenLSU edged Syracuse 13-10 ona Doug Moreau field goaldespite the Orangemen havingtwo future All-Pros in thebackfield-Floyd Little and

Jim Nance.Tips-Try a gourmet touch ofDuck a lOrange with a

common mans mixture oforange juice and vodka as theTigers put the screws (drivers)to the Cuse.

5. Eastern Michigan-

Dislikes-So your hometownis Ypsilanti and your team wasonce known as the Men from

Ypsi? Couldnt your alumniafford to buy a vowel?

Like- One of EMUsalumni-George IcemanGervin was one of my favoriteNBA shooters of all time.

Tips-Make the Hurons-oops,not politically correct-Eaglesfeel at home with someMo-Town music since theyreonly 50 miles from Detroit andhope they Aint Too Proud to

Beg for mercy when the gamegets out of hand.

6. South Carolina-

Dislikes-As much as I likethe Ole Ball Coachs media dayquotes (You cant spell CitrusBowl without UT!), I cantforgive Steve Spurrier for run-ning up on LSU 58-3 in 1993.

Likes-Radio talk shows inColumbia are the exact oppo-site of Baton Rouge as the fansdefend Spurrier to the bitterend. Example of a typical com-ment-Those boys just didntdo what Coach Spurrier toldthem to do.

Tips-Have illegal Gamecockfights at the half as Les Milesspurs his Tigers on to victoryover Hilton Heads besthandicapper.

7. Florida-

Dislikes-Georgia Techinformed Denham Springs thattheir Yellow Jacket mascot wasa trademark violation. Whatdid Tech want? One dollar a

year for the rights. Floridainformed St. Amant their Gatormascot was a trademark

violation. What did UF want?Change the logo or be hit witha million dollar lawsuit. I hopethey sink into The Swamp.

Likes-They have nicebeaches.

Tips-Get all your guests aTroy Landry Choot Emshirt from Swamp People and

serve Alligator sauce piquant asthe Tigers tag theGators 58-3.

I Like It (Or I Dont Like It) Like Thatby Bill Delaune


31/4831

8. Western Kentucky-

Dislikes-Hey, howd thatBobby Petrino thing work outfor you? You hired a scumbag

who wrecked his motorcyclewith his mistress on the backand you expected him to stay?Did you ever hear the song

with the line, You knew damnwell I was a snake before you

took me in?Likes-One of my favoritesongwriters John Prine wrote anostalgic song called Paradiseabout his parents birth place.Everybody sing along-When I

was a boy my family wouldtravel, Down to WesternKentucky where my parents

were bornTips-Choose from a cereal

buffet of Cuckoo for CocoaPuffs, Crunchy NutCornflakes, of FrootcakeLoops for Bowling Green

resident and Presidential candi-date Rand Paul as the Tigersbecome King of theHilltoppers.

9. Alabama-

Dislikes-Really? A money-grubbing traitor who is so closeto being the spawn of Satanthat his name (which shall not

be mentioned) is only one letteroff is not enough? Then watchthe Paul Finebaum Show andlisten to the idiotic blatheringof Crimson Tide callers.

Likes-The expression of theface of every Bama coach,player and fan after Auburns100-yard field goal return two

years ago.Tips-Make sure there are

plenty Deviled eggs, DevilsFood cake and Fireball shots asLSU-We just beat the hell outof you!-exorcises somedemons.

10. Arkansas-

Dislikes-That ridiculousBoot that the Hogs were soproud of winning last year. Asfar as Im concerned, they cankeep the damn thing as longLSU wins the game.

Like-Driving through

Arkansas en route to Bransonthis summer, I was fascinatedby the fact that every smalltown had its own populationsign-i.e. Wilmar 507, Viola340, Sweet Home (Eat yourheart out, Alabama.) 849 andRooster Poo-okay, I made thatone up. I plan to get one forPrairieville when they finishHighway 73 in the year 2525.

Tips-Of course, a Novembercouchon de lait is in order asthe Tigers boot the Hogs.

11. Ole Miss-

Dislikes-How can yourespect anyone who stands by

Likes-The Grove is a reallycool Southern tailgating venueeven if it is dominated by fratboys grilling chicken with GreyPoupon mustard.

Tips-Show your guests theLSU side of tailgating with asmany unhealthy fried dishes as

you can muster-starting withcorn dogs large enough to shutKaty Perrys mouth.

12. Texas A&M-Dislikes-I know its a

tradition, but we old pervertedmen like to sneak a peek at theopposing cheerleaders onoccasion and you cricket-stompers bring an all-malesquad that goes through somecow-milking routines.

Likes-When the Tiger Band

hits those first four notes ofHold That Tiger in pre-game, I get goose bumps as bigas Mardi Gras beads.

But I do enjoy the precisionand drill of the Aggie Bandeven though I dont have thefaintest idea of whatHullabaloo, Canek, Canekmeans.

Tips-Be courteous and skip

the Aggie jokes like, Whydidnt A&M have any ice at thegames this year? Because last

years seniors took the recipe.But what would an LSU

preseason story be withoutsome quotes from our belovedMad Hatter. Dislike- (Afteralmost blowing a game toTennessee) Against theunderlying backdrop of thesituation, the want to get thecorrect players in the gameovercame the need to getanother play in.

Like-Zach didnt have asore arm, per se, but his armwas sore.

Okay, so I paraphrased,mixed metaphors and tookthings out of context. Did youlike them-or not?

Have a great day!

Turn onthe Radio!

The thing that will never

go away is that connection you

make with a band, or a song,

where you're moved by the fact

that it's real people making

music. You make that human

connection with a song like

'Let It Be', or 'Long and

Winding Road', or a song like

'Bohemian Rhapsody, or

'Roxanne,' any of these songs.They sound like people mak-

ing music -Dave Grohl. That

quote is almost the perfect mis-

sion statement for the local

cover band Am/Fm.

Although, they are not the

original writers of the songs

they perform, they are commit-

ted to delivering a live perform-

ance people can connect with.

The original band (for-

merly known as Addavoy and

Another Big Machine) started

out as a popular rock band hail-

ing from Gonzales. Then, the

roller coaster ride of life hap-

pened. The band caught buzz,

made it to LA, and the larger

than life Hollywood music

scene. After showcasing their

talents, the band signed with an

independent label and toured

the country. Their first single

under Another Big Machine

was Where We Belong" which

featured Kyle Cook, lead gui-

tarist of Matchbox 20.

However, many locals recog-

nize their song Sedated" as

being the most popular because

of the viral YouTube acoustic

performance by lead singer,

Justin McCoy. The impromptu

backstage performance features

Justin McCoy, in New York,

with American Idol runner-up

Blake Lewis. Ironically, Justin

would end up making it as an

American Idol Hollywood final-

ist a few years later.

The Am/Fm Bandrecently decided to re-focus on

their true love, which is to

cover multiple artists as it show-

cases their versatility. The band

takes pride in being one of the

premiere cover bands in the

area! Their set list certainly has

a number of timeless

rock classics, but more

importantly, they

always stay current

with numerous top 40

favorites from the

hottest bands in the

world. The Am/Fm

Band currently features

Justin McCoy on lead

vocals and guitar, and

Dustin White on lead

guitar and vocal back-

up. McCoy and White

have played together

virtually non-stop for over 12years. Also, a member of the

original Addavoy line up, with

McCoy and White, is current

bass player, Brandt Bourque.

Am/Fms drummer, Todd

Guidry, has also shared the

stage with White and Bourque

in the former Baton Rouge

cover band Beer for

Breakfast. The stage chem-

istry with this band is the best

that I have ever been a part of.We all know each others play-

ing very well, says Bourque.

McCoy states, It feels like a

family on stage. We have

known each other, through

music, half our lives.

Come and see theband perform at one of the

many great venues around the

area. You can see them per-

form at Park Place, in Gonzales,

on August 21st, or Downtown

Baton Rouge, on September

4th, at Live After Five! For

Grip Itand Rip It.

Not, Zip Itand Rip It.My goodness, the situations I

get myself into amaze me. Iknow Ive told so many stories.I have also told some doozies.Funny ones, serious ones,bazaar ones and unbelievable

ones. I dont know how or whybut the predicaments just keepcoming.

When I started this column

over 14 years ago I hadhundreds of lifes stories. I neverthought I would run out ofthem or things to write about.

As time went on the long list ofstories got shorter and shorter.Here, 14 years later, I wonderfrom month-to-month what amI writing about this month.

Just like clock work anincident happened thattriggered a series of events thatonly I could get myself in too.

It all started with myWednesday golf game. The

round was over and it was timeto head to the 19th hole anddivvy up the bets.

It was a good day for me. Ionly lost $7. Once hearing theamount I reached to my backpocket to unzip my pocket andremove my wallet. The zippergenerally works well but thisday it had a mind of its own. Itstarted to move but just

stopped. I jerked on it and itwont budge. Some of the guysstart heckling me about get thatmoney out and pay up.

It seemed the harder I pulled,the stucker it got.

One of the female bartenderswalked by and saw my delima

and tried to tug while I heldthe shorts tight. Of course theguys are giving it to me prettygood about needing the moneyand laughing as shes tuggingon my shorts. Then a waitress

walks up and joins in on thestuck zipper, shortstugging fiasco.

The guys are heckling menow like I was Lois Lerner at aTea Party Rally. I heard shoutsof rip it. Another guy said, Igot a knife. These girls werepulling so hard I was getting a

wedgee and had to put this toan end. Stop! I requested.Ill take care of this.

I headed to the mens roomwhere I entered a stall andremoved my shorts. Knowingmy dentist would frown on myactions. I used my teeth tobreak the zipper off and toopen my pocket.

I returned to the table withmy wallet, my $7 and the zip-per clasp that I placed on thetable.

We all had a big laugh. Iripped a $50 pair of shorts for a$7 dollar bet. The math justaint working for me.

For the next couple of weeksthe jokes were on me. I wastold to, Zip it, Im trying toputt over here. I was reminded

of when our football coachedcalled us zipper heads and thetime that at the Led Zeppelinconcert there were people sozipped they couldnt walk.

Remember when your Momtold you to, Zip your lip and

you better keep it zipped! Youknew you were in big troublethen.

Of course weve all beenreminded that our train is offthe track and from time-to-timesnagged our t-shirt and got itstuck.

As time went by the jokessubsided and then lightningstruck twice. I had a zipperincident on my airplane whileflying to Colorado.

The flight started like anyother. You watch the FlightTechnicians, or what ever theyare called these days? You seethem walk back and fourthtaking orders and preparing tomake our flight enjoyable. Theygive you the safety tips anddemonstrate how to buckle a

seat belt or blow up you lifevest. Yea, I feel better nowbecause these intructions are forme to use in case of a crash anda crash is the last thing I wantto think about. I didnt pay thatmuch attention in school.However I was the only one toraise my hand and ask them tore-demonstrate how to blow upthat life vest with broken arms

and legs.It was about 2 hours into theflight when nature called and Ihead toward the back restroom.

As I walked the pilot announcedtake caution and buckle up forturbulence ahead. As Iapproached the restroom one ofthe Flight Technicians is takingher seat and buckling in per thecaptains instructions. As I was

walking by she swirled her headand long hair to get it behindher as she sits.

I reached for the handle that

opens the door and as I enteredI heard the Flight Technicianscream, Sir! Sir!. I began toclose the door and she shouted,Sir!. I stopped and looked. I

was a little surprised as to what Iwas seeing. The technician hadswirled her hair into my backpocket zipper and my stepping

was dragging her out of theshoulder harness seat belt that

she had not fully latched yet. Ilooked down and her head wasfacing my backside and she wasgoing, Owe Owe!!!!. I thenlooked up to see the entire back4 rows of seats trying to get alook at to what was going on.

I have never contemplatedthis situation and didnt have aclue as to what to do. Withterrorist tentions as they are

these days I started to think.Here I am, with many passen-gers hearing Owe! Owe! Nowlooking at me and may think mehaving a Flight Technicianattached to my butt and beingdragged toward the bathroommay seem starnge and warrantcharging me to save her. All thetime nature has been callinglong distance and starting tocall collect.

Fortunately another FlightTechnician stepped in anreaalized the situation and like

in the bar at Pelican Point I hadwomen tugging at my butt.I can report all survived the

flight and nature wasnt put onhold too much longer and onlya few strands of hair had tobe cut.

I do have to figure out howto explain to my dentist aboutthe zipper crack in my tooth.
