MILLER LIVESTOCK will be back in full operation with its weekly cattle sale thisSaturday. Last Saturday’s sale was cancelled due to the uncertainty caused by a caseof “mad cow” disease in the state of Washington. However, all should be back to nor-mal this Saturday. The barn has been in operation since 1962 and is owned by JimMiller.

cern about the disease beingfound in Louisiana andCommissioner of AgricultureBob Odom assured the public:

“To as near a certainty ashumanly possible, we knowthe disease is not present inLouisiana livestock or in themeat being sold Louisianaconsumers.”

Some 1200 head of cattleare sold every week at thelocal livestock barn, whichalong with the Coushattabarn are either number one ortwo in the state in sales.

The barn was built in 1962and has been a mainstay inthe local economy. Cattle fromthroughout Southwest Loui-

siana and parts of Texas aresold here each week.

Although the cattle salewas cancelled last Saturday, afew sellers failed to get themessage and brought theiranimals here. Miller said thebarn would take care of theseanimals until this Saturday’ssale.

Although there were nocattle sold, there was still asizable turnout of sellers andbuyers for the farmers mar-ket held in conjunction withthe cattle sale. These itemsinclude farm and home equip-ment, and flea market items.

Miller’s semi-monthlyhorse sale also went off onschedule Monday evening.

Everything should be backto normal at Miller LivestockBarn in DeQuincy thisSaturday following the can-cellation of last Saturday’scattle sale.

Owner Jim Miller said thecancellation last week wasdue to the uncertainty causedby a case of mad cow diseasebeing found in WashingtonState.

Miller said that the oneafflicted cow had been tracedto a herd of 80 cattle thatcame out of Canada fouryears ago. These cattle havebeen located and will bedestroyed.

There was never any con-

DeQuincy livestock barn toresume cattle sales Sat.

Cain to introduce bill on‘hold and test’ policy

Senator James David Cain(R- Dry Dreek), who is him-self a cattleman, announcedthat he will file legislation inthe upcoming legislative ses-sion to require cattle barnsand processors in the state toadopt a “hold and test” policyany time a cow is suspect ofhaving mad cow disease. Arecent case of mad cox diseasein Washington State whichoriginated from an infectedcow imported from Canadahas created concern over thesafety of beef sold in the coun-try.

“I believe that Louisiana’scattle producers are doing agood job of insuring the safetyof beef raised and sold inLouisiana, but anything wecan do to reassure consumersthat we are taking every rea-sonable precaution neces-sary.” said Senator Cain.

The “hold and test” policy

would require cattle auctionbarns and processors to hold acow that is believed to be sickbecause it is non-ambulatoryfor some reason other thaninjury. If the animal is foundto be diseased, infectious dis-ease experts would be calledin to properly dispose of thecarcass.

Living NotesBy Geneva Griffith

You remember the old say-ing “She has bats in her bel-fry”, when describing some-one a little “touched in herhead.”

Well I don’t have bats inmy belfry but I did have birdsin my ceiling this week, andBeau and I had quite anadventure, and hope it is over.

It all started when a bird,who had been nesting in oneof my Christmas bells in myfront doorpiece flew into myhouse when I opened thefront door, and flew up on myDellarobia wreath near mycathedral ceiling.

I immediately went after itwith my broom when mycoaxing failed in trying to gethim down. He flew across theliving room and landed in adried arrangement of green-ery.

This went on for two hourswith me trying everything Icould think of, short of shoot-ing it. In the meantime Beau,my little dog, was about tohave a heart attack, especial-ly when the bird flew downand preceeded across thefloor.

Finally I opened the backdoor and closed the door tomy bedroom and Beau and Iwent to sleep.

The next morning I lookedfor the bird, but finally gaveup. I guess he flew out theback door into the woods.

Things have begun to set-tle down a bit here in “VillageWoods” as residents arereturning from theirChristmas visits with theirfamilies.

The weather has been sounseasonably warm thesedays, I have been able to sitout there and drink my twocups of coffee in the morning.

I guess the folks backhome in Cameron are deep inthe planning for the upcom-ing La. Fur and WildlifeFestival.

I imagine the occupants ofthe village will be watchingthe big game tomorrow on thegiant screen at the clubhouse,so we can either cry or cel-brate together if L.S.U. winsor loses the national champi-onship. “Go Tigers!”

Former Louisiana Con-gressman Henson Moore, whospent his boyhood inHackberry, was featuredrecently in an article in theBaton Rouge Advocate whichstated it “would be hard-pressed to come up withsomeone who has climbed theWashington ladder as HensonMoore III.”

The Advocate article, writ-ten by Gerald Shields, read inpart:

Moore served for 12 yearsas a Republican in Congress.He worked as deputy EnergySecretary and then deputychief of staff under PresidentGeorge H. Bush. Today, he ispresident and chief executiveofficer of the American Forestand Paper Association.

Moore was born in LakeCharles, though his familylived a ferry ride away inHackberry in CameronParish. He was one of threechildren and his father,Henson Jr., was a laborer inthe oil fields.

Moore, whose parents aredeceased, moved to BatonRouge as a youth when hisfather became a manager tothe first offshore oil drillingcompany.

Moore attended BatonRouge’s public schools andgained his first taste of poli-tics when he became studentbody president at BatonRouge High School. Heattended LSU and earnedthree degrees: a bachelor’s inpolitical science, a juris doc-torate and a master’s in gov-ernment.

He spent 1965 to 1967 inthe U.S. Army in Germany,where he was captain of amilitary police unit. Upon his

return home, friends weretalking about a radical ideafor Louisiana at the time,joining the Republican Party.

“We thought Louisiananeeded a two-party system toclean up government,” Moorerecalls. “We joined theRepublican Party when it wasin its infancy.”

After working severalyears with the party, Mooredecided to run for Congressand intended to challengefour-term Democrat incum-bent John Rarick in 1974. Buta funny thing happened onthe way to the election:Rarick was defeated in theprimary.

Moore faced former sports-caster Jeff Lacaze and defeat-ed him by 44 votes, theslimmest margin in federalelection history. Lacazeprotested and a judge orderedthe race to be rerun, anotherfederal first.

Moore won the second racehandily and took his seat inCongress, only the secondRepublican Louisiana con-gressman of the century.(Congressman and futureLouisiana governor DaveTreen became the first in1972.)

Moore served on the HouseAgriculture Committee andthe Energy and CommerceCommittee for four years.

He eventually wasappointed to the powerfulHouse Ways and MeansCommittee, where he servedeight years.

There, Moore sponsoredwhat he considered his mostimportant legislation, lifeinsurance taxes.

Moore was an unsuccess-ful candidate for the U.S.Senate in 1986, losing to Sen.John Breaux, a Democrat.Moore returned to practicinglaw when he received a callasking him to consider joiningthe Energy Departmentunder Bush. At first, Mooredemurred. Then RepublicanNational CommitteeChairman Lee Atwater con-vinced him to take the job andMoore has no regrets.

After Bush lost in 1992,Moore went back to practicinglaw until a headhunter con-tacted him in 1995 about thetop spot at the AmericanForest and Paper Association.Moore now oversees 120employees and an industrywith $203 billion in sales and1.5 million workers nation-wide. It is the second largestindustry in Louisiana, whichhelped lure Moore to the job.

GGOOTTTTAA HHAAVVEE AA LLIICCEENNSSEEI remember a song that

said, “to fish, to drive, tomarry, you gotta have alicense.” Well, don’t laugh.There are some new laws thattook effect New Year’s Day.

This law says thatLouisianians who don’t paytheir state income tax couldlose their drivers license, aswell as their fishing andhunting licenses.

A person who’s delinquenton individual state incometaxes owing over $1000, if notpaid can have his or her dri-vers’ license revoked or sus-pended. If a person is delin-quent of owing more than$500 in state income taxes,then your hunting or fishinglicenses can be revoked orsuspended. After your taxesare paid in full, plus interestand penalties, you can get thelicenses back.

HHUUNNTTIINNGG NNEEWWSSDuck hunting reports were

better this past week, withlots of hunters bagging theirlimits, even with two or threehunters per blind. Most sayMallards and Green-wingedteals are their limits. I had agood week with five or sixducks limits, mostly green-winged teals, but did have abad day last Sunday, withonly two green-wings and agreen-head, like or spoonbill.

The logged mornings wererough, but staying in theblind until 9 a.m., made goodhunting, even though ourtemperatures were in theupper 60s and 70s.

Our duck-coot season iscoming close to an end, as weonly have ten days to huntthose species. (January 18-Last Day.)

Domestic violence wasup in parish in December

FFIISSHHIINNGG RREEPPOORRTTSSFishing reports are good,

with this warm weather,speckle trout and redfishhave picked up. The windsfrom the south are kind ofstrong, water a little choppy,but good fishing.

Lots of saltwater anglersare using artificial shrimpand some cockahoes, and alsoslap-sticks working themslowly.

Bass fishing has pickedup, fishing the points alongthe Intracoastal Canal fromSweetlake, west to the inter-section of the MermentauRiver, Intracoastal and GrandLake. Worms work well, butspinner baits with double sil-ver or chrome color Coloradoblades, number 4’s andcrankbaits are best.

NNEEWWSS BBRRIIEEFFSSThe big thing today among

fishermen, is “Catch andRelease,” a common beliefthat the fish you release will“live to fight another day.”Tournament anglers say“bass are too valuable tokeep.” All these fish, especial-ly bass, don’t survive. Thereare high death rates on large-mouth bass that are released.

A survey done by the TexasParks and Wildlife biologistswhere two trips were made byfour two-man teams that eachkept thirty bass over fourteeninches long, and put in oneaerated live well, notingwhere the bass were hookedor if the bass were bleeding.At the end of 72 hours, 22 per-cent of the bass had died.There was no differencewhether bass were caught onlive baits or artificial baits.The second trips the deathrate was 28 percent.

Bass hooked in the throathad a death rate of 48 per-cent; hooked in the gills, 17percent; and hooked in themouth, 20 percent. Plasticworms were the worst forthroat hooked bass.

There were 19 out of 240bass caught, that were bleed-ing, and nine died, or 47 per-cent. So as we see this, livebait doesn’t kill any morebass than artificial bait does.

,The Cameron Parish Pilot, Cameron, La., January 8, 2004

It’s getting cold outside…time to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate. But do you know where that cocoa came from?

Hot chocolate has been around since 600 A.D. when the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations began using cocoa beans to make a drinkcalled “xocala.” In 1528, a Spaniard named Hernando Cortez discovered the drink while fighting the Aztecs and brought the cocoa beanback with him. Spaniards everywhere started growing cocoa beans and turning them into their own delicious drinks.

Before long, cocoa beans began sprouting up all over Europe and hot chocolate became the drink of choice. The English added milk to itand began serving it in clubs. Hot chocolate became so popular in England that the government started taxing it.

Eventually people became so busy that they no longer had the time to stand over a hot stove stirring a pot of hot chocolate. The CarnationCompany realized this and created instant cocoa in 1935. Today you can find all types and flavors of instant cocoa mix, including milkchocolate, mint, banana cream and raspberry. There is even gingerbread hot chocolate! With each passing year, the selection gets evenbetter.

OYSTERS

Fresh Louisiana oysters are also a valuable anddelectable way to offset the increasingly highamounts of not-so-healthy elements found in mostprocessed and fast foods.

Because oysters are so high in organic sulfurcompounds, they can be a useful, natural tool incombating pathogenic micro-organisms and instrengthening the immune system.

Raw oysters are rich in: - insulin (which regu-lates carbohydrate metabolism). - keratin (the pri-mary protein component of skin, hair and nails).- collagen the protein that forms tendons and con-nective tissues). - glucosamine (the building blockfor tendons, heart valves, and membranes). -gluethione (one of the primary antioxidants cred-ited with the prevention of cataracts).

Oysters are also a source of Omega 3 fattyacids, which have a positive impact on hearthealth.(* Excerpted from “Vitamin Bible”, by Earl Minden, published byWarner Books, New York, NY, 1991, page 94.)

FACTS AND FICTION

Fiction: Don’t eat raw oysters during monthswhose names don’t contain the letter “R”.

Fact: That old myth dates to the early days ofAmerica’s oyster industry when immediate refrig-eration was either not required or was not imme-diately available. Modern oyster harvesting tech-niques insure that oysters are promptly refriger-ated to safeguard taste, texture and health. Someharvesters have even equipped their boats withon-board refrigeration devices.

Fiction: Raw oysters are just plain unsafe!Fact: Wrong! The fact is that like any food prod-

uct, safe handling makes for safe eating. That’swhy the oyster industry---from boat to dock to pro-cessing, makes product safety its highest priority.However, as with many other high protein foodssuch as eggs and rare meat, people with immunedeficiencies or liver problems should consult theirphysicians before indulging.
