Bi-District Champs!Zachary busi-
nesses are once again partici-pating in Small Business Satur-day on Novem-ber 30, the an-nual shopping event following Black Friday that is focused on
boosting small business sales for local economies.
Big box chain stores are owned by fortune 500 companies whose corpo-rate headquarters are based in other cities, but small businesses are usu-ally owned by people who live in the same community as their business. In other words, when a patron shops at a small business, they are supporting the Zachary economy.
American Express began “Small Business Saturday” in 2010 to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. Last year, more than 100 million people shopped at in-dependently owned small businesses on that day.
All kinds of businesses partici-pate in Small Business Saturday, so it doesn’t hurt to ask any small busi-ness whether they’re offering special discounts or offers on November 30. Locally, there are many gift shops and boutiques offering special deals on both Friday and Saturday.
According to the National Federa-tion of Independent Business’ (NFIB) latest small-business optimism index, the outlook among small business owners is still wary. The survey found that weak sales are still the number one issue facing small business own-ers who universally agree that they won’t hire new employees if they are worried about keeping the lights on. They are also not willing to expand in the face of uncertainty about the
cost of new regulations coming out of Washington.
Small Business Saturday is a good opportunity for community members to support the establishments that mean so much to America’s economic wellbeing.
According to the inaugural Small Business Saturday Insights Survey, released in November by NFIB and American Express, nearly half of all independent merchants plan to incor-porate Small Business Saturday into their holiday marketing plans, while 67 percent plan to offer special dis-counts on November 30.
Small businesses generally offer better service than chain stores, and their owners and employees know the merchandise a little better and are able to give their customers more one-on-one time. When you shop at a small business, there’s a good chance you’ll be dealing directly with the owner.
Small business owners and their employees are extremely customer-focused because their livelihoods de-pend on your repeat business. In fact, of those small business owners plan-ning to promote Small Business Sat-urday, 80 percent expect a year-over-year boost in sales on that day. Most participating small businesses also report that they will offer additional bonuses including coupons for future discounts, free gift-wrapping, and giveaways through contests or with purchase.
Small business is the heart and soul of our local economy and social struc-ture. Local small business owners are the first to volunteer in the schools, help with civic organizations, and hire local employees. Our local newspa-per was built on advertising from lo-cal small businesses, and I encourage shoppers to focus their holiday spend-ing on local merchants.
From the Publisher: Small Business Saturday is a Worthy Holiday Tradition
No. 10 Zachary was able to hold on against No. 23 Thibodaux in a 43-40 shootout that saw both teams score six touchdowns in a Class 5A bi-district playoff game. Running back Forrest Town led Zachary (8-3) with 98 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns. The senior also snagged a scoring reception. Sophomore quarterback Lindsey Scott did much of his damage on the ground, running for two scores and passing for another. PHOTOS by Sharron Ventura.

Resurrecting the Tradition of the Christmas Tree Farmby NaliNi RaghavaN goRe
Sitting on frontage along High-way 963, Windy Hills, the Christmas tree farm located just 10 minutes northwest of Clinton in Ethel, is, in-deed, windy. It was a chilly, blustery November day on the farm as own-ers Ricky and Lisa Peairs prepared buckets of water for trees that will find their way into someone’s home this holiday season. The Christmas trees, nestled together in neat rows on a large expanse of farmland, look deceptively small. But that is just an illusion, the Peairs’ insist. Many customers have made the mistake of “sizing up,” realizing once they set the tree up in the living room that somehow the tree grew on the way home.
It takes 3-4 years for the trees at Windy Hills tree to reach 6 feet, the typical requested height for Christ-mas trees, so Ricky and Lisa were in the Christmas tree-growing business for 3 years before they ever sold their first tree; the couple planted their first tree in 1999, and sold their first tree in 2002. Following an early retire-ment, Ricky, who also raises cattle and other livestock on the farm, de-cided to start the business with the part-time help of his wife, Lisa, who is otherwise employed as a veterinar-ian. Initially intending for the Christ-mas tree venture to serve as a fun,
leisurely retirement business, to their delight – and their chagrin – Windy Hills has grown into a very success-ful, but very demanding enterprise. When Lisa first suggested to her hus-band that the property would make a great Christmas Tree farm (not let-ting on that her father and brothers had all politely declined the idea), she remembers that Ricky agreed it was a good idea. “And that was the last time he said that, laughed Lisa.” The Pearis agree that they could not both work full-time jobs and run the tree farm; in fact, they hire additional help during the selling season in order to pack a year’s worth of sales into the short holiday window.
The Pearis grow trees on about 8 acres of their 97-acre property. In the beginning of this venture, Ricky and Lisa sought advice from other small tree-farmers in the South through a professional organization called the Southern Christmas Tree Associa-tion. These seasoned experts recom-mended that the couple focus pre-dominantly on 2 types of Cypress - Leyland and Murray - and a fragrant,
lacy, silver-toned tree called a Caro-lina Sapphire, all of which grow well in a South Louisiana climate though, interestingly, are not native to Loui-siana. These trees never go dormant like their Northern cousins such as the Douglas and Fraser firs, so the Peairs are careful to explain to their custom-ers that when you bring one of their trees home, you are bringing home a live Christmas tree which requires frequent and consistent watering.
Live and learn is the mantra at Windy Hills, as neither member of this husband and wife team had any experience running a Christmas tree farm. The Christmas tree farm in-dustry used to be very large in Loui-siana; there were several hundred small farms in the state in the 1970s. Currently, there are only about 75 farms scattered throughout the states of Louisiana, Alabama, and Missis-sippi. This dramatic decrease, Lisa posits, can be traced to the general move away from the family farm. As younger generations choose to pursue careers off the family farm, these busi-nesses shut down and are replaced by

big box hardware stores that supply trees that have been shipped for sale around the country.
With few examples to model themselves upon, the Peairs had to rely on the experiences of tree farm-ers in other parts of the deep South, lessons that were fine-tuned over the years as the couple adapted those models to the climate, geography, and culture of the area. For instance, Lisa explained that their tree selection has shifted slightly over the years to bend to local tastes; most of the farm is dedicated to Leyland and Murray cypress. They also grow the Carolina Sapphires for customers who prefer this silvery, aromatic tree and in or-der to make their signature creation, the Snowman Tree, which is a Caro-lina Sapphire carved into a …well…
a snowman. The Snowman Tree was created on a whim and then caught on when a neighbor insisted on buying it. The customer is always right – or the neighbor in this case – and now these special trees have become such a tradition in some households that they buy both their regular Christmas tree and a Snowman Tree.
The learning curve has been made steeper for the Peairs by the para-doxical weather of Louisiana, namely hurricanes and drought. Recently, they addressed the drought issue by installing an irrigation system at the farm. This improvement will make yearly tree-crop yields much more predictable as trees will tend to all grow at the same average rate given a regular supply of water. However, hurricanes are - as hurricanes tend to
be - unpredictable. And when they do pass close to Windy Hills, as Katrina, Rita, and Gustav all did, they wreck havoc on the tender young trees which bend fiercely with the hurri-cane force winds. After a hurricane, every single tree needs to be straight-ened and staked up so that it contin-ues to grow upright and symmetrical.
Farmers through an through, the Peairs have weathered these chal-lenges and delivered Christmas trees year after year for over a decade. Windy Hills is a cut and carry farm - they use hacksaws, not chainsaws - unless the tree is big enough to war-rant serious machinery. There are a few customers who come for the double-digit trees at Windy Hills, the “Charlie Brown trees,” as Lisa calls them – those lonely trees that weren’t
chosen by a family but were subse-quently allowed to grow into majes-tic queens that grace the fanciest of foyers.
As each year passes, the team makes improvements to the farm to make the tree-hunting experience fun for everyone. This year, the couple added attractions that will help keep the kids entertained while Mom and Dad wrestle with trees. There is a hay bale fort and a tire tower to climb on. And if it’s a chilly night, there is al-ways a warm fire burning in the giant fire-pit and hot chocolate and coffee in the office. If you aren’t in the mar-ket for a tree, Windy Hills also sells fresh garlands and wreaths which sell-out every year.
Opening day is Nov 29 and it’s first come first serve!

Junior Broncos A-Team Wins Super BowlAs the lights shined brightly
at Wildcat Stadium in Central on Saturday night the Zachary Junior Broncos’ 11-12 year old football team were on their way to cap-ping off a memorable season with a Southern Louisiana Youth Football Association Super Bowl Championship.
These Broncos were no ordi-nary group. They won the regular season championship with an un-defeated 8-0 record while averag-ing over 55 points a game and only surrendering two touchdowns in the regular season. The Broncos continued their winning ways in the playoffs defeating Prairieville at St. Amant a week earlier by a score of 58-8.
The Super Bowl at Wildcat Sta-dium got off to a fast start led by the running of Wes Brady and the blocking of a dominant offensive
line. The Broncos led 44-0 at the half with their swarming defense and balanced offensive attack. The final turned out to be anoth-er strong victory for a team that dominated throughout the year and capped it off with a 66-8 Su-per Bowl win. Head Coach Jim-my Milazzo said, “Youth football is so much more than just foot-ball. It’s the hard work, persever-ance and commitment to details that kids learn in our sport that’s most important. For this group of young players, and players across our league to walk away with an understanding of the things that make them successful in football, as well as life, is the main focus of our program. We are proud of our players for their accomplish-ments. They were probably one of the most talented groups to ever compete in this league”.

Crossfit Zachary Raises over $6,000 for Breast Cancer AwarenessOn Saturday, November 2,
Crossfit Zachary hosted their first annual Barbells 4 Boobs fundrais-er. The event consisted of a spe-cial workout of the day or “WOD” called “Amazing Grace” and “Hel-en meets Grace.” Many specta-tors enjoyed music and fun while watching participants dedicate workouts to those suffering from breast cancer. The purpose of the event was to bring the community together to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness and raise mon-ey for qualified women who need screening or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer.
Barbells for Boobs is a non-profit organization that provides funding to pay for breast cancer detection services as a last resort for thousands of people who don’t qualify for assistance elsewhere. Every $80 donated helps fund one mammogram for someone in need. Funds raised through Barbells for
Boobs go directly to the Mammo-grams in Action Grant Program. Through this program, Crossfit is able to provide funding and re-sources nationwide.
“By supporting Barbells for Boobs, we’re helping low-income and uninsured women get the ex-aminations they need in order to stay cancer free. We have raised $6,300 and counting. We had 75 participants and many spectators on hand. I would like to thank ev-eryone who donated and came out to show their support,” says Fabian Herrera, owner. “With the help of our CrossFit Mandeville friends we have exceeded our goal.”
It’s not too late to help raise money for this worthy cause, please call (225) 255-0815, visit the web-site at www.crossfitzachary.com, or donate directly on their Barbells for Boobs fundraiser page at http://fun-draise.barbellsforboobs.org/cross-fitzachary.

Zachary Fire Department Honors Firefighters of the YearEvery year the Zachary Fire De-
partment selects one of its current firefighters as the department Fire-fighter of the Year. The 2013 Zacha-ry Fire Department Career Firefight-er of the Year is Chief of Training, Gordon Lipscomb. The award was presented at the 2013 Firemen’s Banquet on Saturday, November 16, at Fennwood Hills Country Club.
The recipient of this recognition award is chosen based upon a nomi-nation process that involves all of the current Zachary firefighters. Indi-vidual firefighters are nominated for the award based upon predetermined criteria including: leadership, com-munity spirit, attendance at training sessions, overall level of participa-tion and involvement, the amount of time dedicated to public relations ac-tivities, and a positive hard working attitude. All of these important fire-fighter attributes typically add up to an individual that is very dedicated to the fire department.
Gordon Lipscomb has been with the Zachary Fire Department since joining the ranks in May 2005. Chief Lipscomb is a tireless worker that participates at a very high level in training, public relations events, and is a prompt emergency responder. Congratulations to Gordon Lip-scomb on his past accomplishments, and for receiving this very special 2013 Zachary Firefighter of the Year Award. “Chief Lipscomb sets the bar. He’s what every firefighter should be, and he is the poster child for the fire department,” said Zachary Chief Danny Kimble. “He’s one of those firefighters that, whether he’s on or
off duty, he’s always doing some-thing to better the department.”
The Zachary Fire Department also recognized the Volunteer Fire-fighter of the Year. The 2013 Zach-ary Volunteer Firefighter of the year is Jordan Charlet, also chosen by his fellow firefighters. Jordan is a
5 year volunteer veteran with the Zachary Fire Department. Volunteer firefighters sacrifice time away from their families and risk their lives to help others, and no one pays them for doing this. They do it because they care. “Volunteer Fireman Jor-dan Charlet never says no, he is in-
volved in weekly training exercises and continually gives back to the community, all while maintaining a full time job,” says Zachary Chief Danny Kimble. Congratulations Jordan Charlet for your community volunteerism as a voluntary fire-fighter.

Born 100 years ago at Wilderness Plantation, The Plains, Zachary, LA, Albert C. Mills, Jr. died early Tues-day, November 12, 2013. He was the son of Godly par-ents, Albert C. and Margaret Jane “”Maggie”” McK-owen Mills. For his entire life he honored his father and his mother. He loved and remained faithful to his wife, Kathleen Louise Riddle for 71 years. They were married May 20, 1942 in St. Francisville, LA. Albert Mills stood firm and unwavering in his faith in God and trusted ful-ly in His Son, Jesus Christ, for his salvation. He joined the Plains Presbyterian Church by profession of faith in
1923. An active member his entire life, he served as a deacon from 1936 until elected and installed as an elder in 1946. He was given emeritus status in 1990. He diligently prepared himself for his life’s vocations. He attended the Plains Church one-room school for First through Third grades, then went to Zachary High School where he graduated in 1930. He attended David-son College in North Carolina for two years then transferred to LSU where he earned a BS degree in Agriculture Commerce in 1935. He was a mem-ber of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. He served bravely in the United States Army in defense of his country during WWII. He trained men and operated postal service on both the East and West Coasts before being sent to England with his Army Postal Unit APO #544. He then served in Norway where he operated a P.O. for American Troops assigned to disarm German soldiers. He was discharged with honor and distinction with the rank of captain. He consistently provided for his family through hard work and sacrifice as a worker at Rhodes and Mills General Merchandise in Zachary, a manager at the Plains Store, as a cattle rancher, rural letter carrier for 30 years, Chair-man of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Zachary from 1956-1987, and avid gardener, skilled hunter and fisherman, organizer of Tri-Parish Co-Op, Officer of EBR Parish Farm Bureau and Member of the Cattlemen’s Associa-tion. His outstanding achievement was loving with devotion his wife, four children, nineteen grandchildren, and seventy great-grandchildren. He taught us how we should live the Christian life and serve God through humility, consistency of character, prayer life, family devotions, integrity, and Godly example. We praise God and thank him that we were blessed with such an honorable and loving husband and earthly father. He continues to be a living testimony to us all. His example lives on. “”Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?”” Job 12:12. Visitation will be at Plains Presbyterian Church, 22929 Old Scenic Highway 964 in Zachary, LA on Friday, November 15, 2013 from 5pm until 8pm and then onSaturday, November 16, 2013 from 9am until funeral services at 11am, conducted by Rev.

away Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital, where she was recuperating from a heart at-tack. She was born March 4, 1922, in Houston, Texas, and died November 17, 2013, in Baton Rouge. She was a lov-ing mother, grandmother, great-grand-mother, and friend to many. She is sur-vived by her son, former Rep. Louis E. “Woody” Jenkins, Jr., and his wife Di-ane Aker Jenkins; grandchildren Mar-garet Jenkins Savoye and her husband Darren of Jefferson, LA; Elizabeth Ann Jenkins of Denver, CO; David Aker Jenkins of Baton Rouge, and Catherine Ann Jenkins of Baton Rouge; great-grandchildren Gabrielle, Louis Joseph, and James Sawyer Savoye of Jeffer-son, LA; and nephews and nieces Gor-don and Jan Jenkins; Edward, Randall,
and Mark Rowlett, and Anita Rowlett Hopkins. She was preceded in death by her parents Frederick Putnam Rowlett and Beatrice Eernisse Rowlett of Houston, Texas; her brother, Walter Rowlett, of Houston and her husband, Louis E. “Ory” Jenkins, Sr., of Ponchatoula and Baton Rouge. Doris grew up in Alvin and Shreveport. She attended Byrd High School and graduated from Alvin High School in 1940. During World War II, she met a handsome sailor who was recovering from war injuries at the Galveston Naval Hos-pital. They fell in love and married in 1946. They resided in Ponchatoula where they owned a restaurant, Little Ory’s Den, before moving to Houston and then Baton Rouge. Ory was an operator at Ethyl Corporation, and Doris worked in safety deposit at American Bank on Plank Road. She retired from the bank in 1982 after 25 years’ service. She was affectionately known as “G” by her grandchildren and their friends at Parkview. As a child, she had red hair and was known by the nickname “Pinky”. She loved to wear a red hat and a red cap, which was perfect when she played Mrs. Santa Claus for children in her later years. She has written an autobiography, which will be published on-line in the spring of 2014 by Community Press. It is a humor-ous collection of her writings from the 1920’s to the present. She has lived with her son Woody and daughter-in-law Diane for the past 27 years, and they cared for her during the many health problems she has endured for the past 15 years. Despite those, she maintained a clear mind and humorous wit until this weekend. She was recovering from a heart attack and doing well Saturday, but her condition declined early Sunday, and she passed away. Friends and acquaintances are invited to visitation Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at Resthaven Funeral Home, 11817 Jefferson Hwy., Baton Rouge, and again Wednesday at 10 a.m. Services will be conducted by Lt. Arron Mcguffee, Chaplain, USN, at 11 a.m. at the Resthaven cemetery.
