The tires of passing cars hiss on the
I-310 roadway running behind the prac-
tice field at R.K. Smith Middle School in
Luling. The seventh and eighth graders are
in their third week of practice since return-
ing to school and are a few weeks away
from playing their first game.
The players are split into two groups at
opposite ends of the field. The skill players
are running routes and catching passes
while on the other end the linemen are
coming out of their stances and hitting
players standing above them holding pads.
Its a hot afternoon and sweat glistens as
the linemen push each other back and
forth.
Coach Melissa Gore calls out instruc-
tions to the players.
No. 74 comes up, hits the pad hard and
pushes, cleats dig into the turf as legs
churn.
The whistle blows and the players break
for water. When No. 74s helmet comes off
a puff of hair held together by a headband
emerges.
This is Diandra Baham, the only female
football player in the parish. Gore is her
position coach and the only female coach
in the parish.
Gore said it was inevitable that a girl
would make the team given that there was
a female coach.
I told them you cant have a female
football coach and not expect a couple of
girls to show interest in coming out, she
said.
Gore has been a coach for R.K. Smith for
the past six years and said Diandra is the
second girl to tryout for the team and first
to stick around.
It is good. I like to see it. I like to see
people challenge the status quo and grow,
she said.
Being a child of a different era, Gore said
she wanted to play when she was growing
up, but it was not as acceptable at that time.
When I was a kid I grew up wanting to
play, but I grew up in the early 70s so those
opportunities came later, she said.
Gore said she is excited to see Diandra
play and encouraged because she has been
picking up the game quickly.
Shes adapting, shes learning. Its all
new to her. I havent seen her in a hitting
drill yet, well see that in a little bit, she
said. But shes learning. Shes picking it
up.
Diandras father, Barry Baham, 45, a
former Hahnville Tiger, said Diandra told
him she was interested in playing last year.
I didnt really take her serious about it.
And then she told me she had to stay after
school for football practice and I said, are
you serious? And she said,
yeah Im serious, he said.
Diandra was already
involved in softball and
track as well as band and
choir, but Barry told her to
go for it.
Im very proud of her.
Whatever she wants to get
into in school and every-
thing I am 100 percent
behind her, he said.
Similarly her mother,
Anjanette Baham, said she
was completely behind the
decision.
Whatever she wants to
do, as long as it is construc-
tive I will get behind it, she said.
Anjanette said Diandra should be an
inspiration to others.
Im glad she decided to do it. She is
definitely a trend setter and I think that is
what she is trying to prove to some people
as well as some of her friends. It doesnt
matter, you can do whatever you want to
do. Your options are unlimited, she said.
She said her daughter has the perfect
personality for a football player.
Shes a go-getter. She is not afraid of
anything. She is very aggressive and she
does not scare easily, Anjanette said.
Diandras decision to join the team was
not as easy as just saying she wanted to be
part of club. She had to try out and was one
of 45 players who beat out 25 others to
make the cut.
R.K. Smiths head coach Kevin Carrigee
said she earned her spot.
So far she is holding her own. Shes
good enough hopefully to play. She wasnt
somebody that you didnt need to keep
around. So we just gave her a chance to see
what she could do, he said.
Barry said the other players on the team
have welcomed his daughter.
I talked to a few of the players and they
were glad she went out, Barry said.
Gore agrees with Barry.
I give her tons of props just for having
the courage to come no matter what they
are going to say or whatever. She didnt
know how they were going to react when
she came out here, but she fits right in. Its
great, she said.
In fact, other players have been helping
her learn the game and get better.
You can tell these guys like her and they
want her to succeed, Gore said.
Although Diandra is currently on the B
team, Carrigee said once the season starts
on Sept. 19 they will be evaluating her.
Anjanette said R.K. Smiths first game
will be a family affair.
I definitely am looking forward to it,
she said. Her dad, her grandfather, her
grandmother, her aunt and her uncles - we
are all looking forward to it.
Carrigee said the fact that Diandra went
out for the team to begin with was indica-
tive of her character and a positive step for
the program.
Hopefully shell inspire the guys to be a
little tougher. Shes got a little toughness to
her. Just the fact that she came out here
shows she had a little toughness to her.
Hopefully its a positive thing not just for
the team, but for the school, Carrigee said.

One of the most important ways to prepare
for a food is to buy food insurance coverage.
Most homeowner insurance policies
do NOT cover food damage.
A food insurance policy normally takes
30 days from the date of
purchase to go into effect.
So dont wait until a food is imminent
to purchase your policy!

Hospital hosts school-to-career internships
St. Charles Parish Hospital, in
collaboration with the St.
Charles Parish Public School
System, hosted three teacher
interns from the School-to-
Career Program over the sum-
mer.
The unique two-day program
offered local educators an
opportunity to get a better
understanding of the healthcare
environment. Among the sub-
jects covered were various
careers students may be inter-
ested in pursuing, as well as the
schooling required, areas of aca-
demic strength needed for par-
ticular fields of study, salary
ranges and the daily demands of
various jobs.
The program began with a brief orienta-
tion followed by an informative tour of the
hospital. On the second day of the intern-
ship, the teachers were able to interact
closely with the different departments.
The first-hand experience should enable
the participants to return to their class-
rooms and better educate students about
particular jobs in the healthcare field, as
well as enhance the material being taught
in their classes with an application to
healthcare-related professions.
The participants for this years program
were LeAnn Delatte, Amy DeLaune and
LaWanna Davis from Destrehan High
School.
Jim Moses, director of Human Resources for St. Charles Parish Hospital, Donna Palahang, director of Volunteer Services for St.
Charles Parish Hospital, LeAnn Delatte, Amy DeLaune, LaWanna Davis and Harriet Sanders.

Luling held their annual vaca-
tion bible school over the sum-

The church raised over
$1,100 to go to the Louisiana
Baptist Childrens Home in a
special offering they took
everyday.
Children participated in
worship rally time, bible study,
crafts, recreation, music,
snacks and missions.
Director Rachel Mire said
they averaged about 130 kids
everyday and had around 80
workers.
Their theme was Colossal
Coaster World and lessons
included learning to Face
Our Fears and Trust God!

The Last Little Blue Envelope,
written by Maureen Johnson,
revisits the world of Ginny
Blackstone after her incredulous
journey through Europe guided
by letters from her deceased
aunt. The novel picks up where
13 Little Blue Envelopes left off,
Ginny upset with the loss of her
last letter. She receives an email
from a mysterious Oliver
claiming he has found the
missing letter. Ginny jumps at
the chance to travel back to
Europe to finish last sum-
mer's adventure but soon realizes
that this is a beginning of an adventure all its own.
This novel is a great read, providing clever, sweet, and funny plot
points. Ginny has matured from the previous story to a point
where she is more confident and a lot stronger. Instead of focusing
on her finding out who she is, Johnson has placed an emphasis on
how Ginny is torn between what to do with her life. With that said,
the crazy, whirlwind adventures of the first novel, are dimmed
here. The Last Little Blue Envelope is a journey through Ginny's
emotions.
The Last Little Blue Envelope provides a young girl everything
she would want to readthe right mix of suspense, romance, and
a level of maturity. Johnson has created another masterpiece, cap-
turing the admiration of many. I would recommend this book for
girls looking for a cute, quirky story to read. It makes the list of
being a great summer novel.

St. Charles Parish Senior Emergency
Coordinator Jim Polk has been selected as
president of the Louisiana Emergency
Preparedness Association (LEPA), a statewide,
non-profit support organization in the field of
emergency response.
I am honored to continue to represent St.
Charles Parish in this statewide emergency
management professional organization, Polk
said. As we know, teamwork is a critical factor
during large-scale disasters. As president I
hope to encourage a team effort between all
levels of government, industry and voluntary
organizations in the state of Louisiana.
LEPA consists of a group of emergency pre-
paredness and response practitioners with the
common goal of improving public safety in
emergencies. The association was formed in
1980 by a group of local civil defense directors
who recognized the need to expand and incor-
porate personnel in emergency service organi-
zations into a cohesive and productive associa-
tion. The organizations mission is to provide
support and leadership to advance public safe-
ty.
In conjunction with his LEPA post, Polk was
appointed by Gov. Bobby Jindal to serve on the
states Louisiana Emergency Response
Commission as a representative of LEPA in April. The LERC estab-
lishes emergency planning districts, appoints local emergency
planning committees, supervises and coordinates the activities of
local emergency planning committees, provides the Environmental
Protection Agency with information concerning notification
received on certain releases of hazardous materials and substances,
designates facilities subject to hazardous material reporting proce-
dures, recommends a standardized inventory form for gathering
required information and develops reporting procedures. The
commission also recommends additional substances which should
be defined as hazardous materials, acts as the central advisory
body for coordinating state and federal Right-to-Know activities
with regard to hazardous substances, establishes procedures for
recalling and processing public requests for information and
reviews local planning committee emergency response plans.
