GONZALES A man was shot and killed at a large house party in Ascension Parish overnight when groups of people from out of town showed up and two started fighting.

Joshua Harris, 19, of Thibodaux, was arrested for the shooting death of Jerrod Brown, 25, also of Thibodaux. Deputies said bus loads of people from Lafourche, Terrebonne and Assumption showed up at the party on Superior Wood Avenue after midnight Saturday when a fight started between Brown and a girl. The girl's brother, Harris, got involved and opened fire with two guns, killing Brown, deputies said in a news release Saturday.

Harris was arrested after fleeing back to Thibodaux. As of Saturday morning, he had been returned to Ascension Parish where he was booked into jail on charges of second-degree murder, illegal discharge of a weapon, and possession of a firearm by convicted felon.

Harris has a lengthy criminal history with charges stemming from attempted second-degree murder, obscenity, armed robbery, aggravated second-degree battery, and simple robbery. Harris is currently on probation until July 2021.

More charges may be pending as this case is still under investigation.

House party turns into murder scene in Ascension Parish overnight - WBRZ

Metal Blade Records

When a band has been around for a while, sometimes they mellow out as they age, but thats not the case with New Orleans veterans Goatwhore. Their brand of metal is as extreme as ever, evidenced on their latest slab of darkness, Vengeful Ascension.

Twenty years into Goathworescareer, frontman Ben Falgoust says they are still moving forward. I think every song on this record is pretty fking strong, Falgoust says. Each song is a representation of Goatwhore. from day one until now. It really shows our evolution as a band. I dont think that this band has reached its peak yet. I mean, I think were closer now than ever but were still growing; were still evolving.

Instead of their usual bludgeoning beginning, Forsaken kicks off the proceedings with thunderous drums and mid-tempo riffage. That groove continues with Under the Flesh, Into the Soul. The harsh vocals contrast with memorable guitar lines and a blazing solo from Sammy Duet.

While the songs on Vengeful Ascension are as heavy and extreme as usual, this time around they give them more room to breathe. Instead of nonstop brutality, theyll sneak in a brief slower or mellower section before resuming their assault. Even songs that you think will barrel along at maximum intensity throughout, such as Chaos Arcane, dial back to an ominous pace.

That slower tempo makes Where the Sun Is Silent extremely effective, as does the bluesy solo from Duet. As the album progresses, the diversity is even more evident with the Bolt Thrower-esque Mankind Will Have No Mercy and the black metal influenced closer Those Who Denied Gods Will.

The lyrical theme deals with the timeless battle between good and evil, with the cosmic battle applying to earthly concerns. If you look at it from an everyday aspect in life, its the idea of people, hitting the bottom of the barrel or you know, things just arent going right in life emotion plays a huge part in how people react, Falgoust explains.

He adds, Whether its based on love or hatred or sadness or whatever, theres always an aspect of emotion that drives people to an extent. So the whole idea of a Vengeful Ascension is built on being at the bottom, working your way to the top, and realizing along the way that theres other facets to the journey aside from just pure retribution. Within negativity there can exist a positive angle as well.

After working with producer Erik Rutan for the past four albums, this time around Goatwhore worked with Jarrett Pritchard, their live soundman. They wanted a sound that was raw and organic, closer to their live shows. Thats exactly what they got. He managed to effectively capture their power and energy while injecting the dynamics an album needs.

Vengeful Ascension has extremity black metal fans will dig, groove that will appeal to death metal aficionados and potent guitar work thrash lovers can appreciate.

Ascension, the largest nonprofit health system in the U.S. and the worlds largest Catholic health system, has met the federal governments Better Buildings challenge goal of 20% energy reduction three years ahead of schedule.

From July 1, 2008, through December 1, 2016, the system has reduced energy usage by 21.4%, saving $53.3 million in costs and cutting more than 1.1 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions across 141 healthcare facilities, according to a recent announcement from Medxcel Facilities Management, a subsidiary of Ascension.

As a Catholic health ministry, environmental stewardship is part of Ascensions DNA, said Robert J. Henkel, president and chief executive officer of Ascension Healthcareand executive vice president of Ascension, who was an original sponsor of the energy efficiency initiative. Our mission calls us to sustain and improve the health of individuals and communities, and we know caring for the environment is an essential piece of that. From a mission standpoint as well as a value standpoint, it was the right thing to do.

The organizations Environmental Stewardship Program focuses on leadership and infrastructure, education and communication, food systems, energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable site and transportation, chemical management, and environmentally preferred purchasing and waste management.

Ascensions initiative began during the 2008 recession, when the incentive to reduce costs motivated the system to track energy use as the first environmental stewardship metric. After the system met its initial 5% energy-use reduction goal in 2011, Ascension committed to a 20% reduction in energy use by 2020 as part of the Department of Energys Better Buildings Challenge.

Ascension, which was then composed of 68 acute care facilities spread across 30 million square feet, joined 60 founding members and was one of two health systems originally involved in the program.

As hospitals became conscious of the value that came with improved energy efficiency, they began to ask about related strategies such as recycling programs, safer chemicals and environmentally preferred purchasing, Dan Scher, Ascension's senior director of planning, design and construction, said in the announcement. Energy efficiency is one of nine strategies the Ascension Environmental Stewardship Program has put in place to impact the health and wellness of the communities it serves.

Although the accomplishment is an achievement, just as significant is sustainability of the program, said Michael Argir, chief executive officer and president of Medxcel FM, in the announcement. We are leading the transformation of healthcare facilities management by offering a model that has a focus on ensuring an efficient and safe healing environment that positively impacts the communities we serve, said Argir. By achieving these goals ahead of schedule with our Environmental Stewardship Program, we are demonstrating that we take our impact on the communities seriously and strive to continue to improve the environmental footprint of the healthcare facilities we serve across the country.

Ascension Coffee is now offering a highly caffeinated, nitro-infused cold brew called Doki Doki (the name is derived from the Japanese word that refers to the sound of a beating heart).

Here at Ascension Coffee, we aim to drive a unique and memorable coffee experience, says Ascension owner and master roaster, Russell Hayward. And are always looking for new and exciting ways to showcase our amazing coffee. We are a truly global coffee experience, and Doki Doki allows us to bring a unique Japanese technique to brewing an amazing coffee that is refreshing in the heat of the Texas summer.

The process:

Colombian coffee beans are placed into a Japanese cold brew tower. Water slowly drips (over a 12-hour period) to achieve a chocolatey and smooth cup of cold brew. After this process is complete, they nitrogenate it into kegs which gives the coffee a stout-like flavor and consistency.

So go order it. We know you want to, if only for the opportunity to say the word Doki.

GONZALES The Amite River and all other inland waterways in Ascension and Livingston parishes have been closed to recreational traffic, Ascension and Livingston Homeland Security officials said.

Hazards caused by Tropical Storm Cindy forced the closure, which began at 6 p.m. Thursday and will remain in place until further notice, Ascension homeland security officials said in a Facebook post.

The two parishes share the Amite, but other rivers and bayous also course throughout both parishes.

Rick Webre, director of the Ascension Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said floating debris was one factor in the decision to close the waterways but said high water in the Amite River Diversion Canal was also a major reason.

He said boat traffic through the high water in the canal is causing problems for homes and bulkheads that line portions of the waterway.

Mark Harrell, Webre's counterpart in Livingston Parish, said similar problems with wakes from boaters are being encountered on the Tickfaw River in the southeastern end of that parish.

Harrell said storm surge and wind from Cindy has swollen water levels on the river. The Tickfaw's mouth empties along the north shore of Lake Maurepas.

The order closes all boat launches in both parishes to recreational traffic.

After making landfall Thursday morning, Cindy was downgraded to a tropical depression by the National Weather Service.

GONZALES Five suspects wanted in a robbery that left a man beaten, knocked unconscious and locked in the trunk of his abandoned car have been arrested on attempted first-degree murder and other counts, Ascension Parish sheriff's deputies said Thursday.

Authorities on Thursday booked David Joseph Gonday, 34, of Gonzales, and Richard Allen, 54, of Sorrento, the last two of the five suspects in the robbery scheme.

The two were booked into Ascension Parish Detention Center with counts of attempted first-degree murder, second-degree robbery and simple kidnapping, deputies said.

St. James and Ascension parish sheriffs' deputies announced earlier this week that they were looking for Gonday and Shane Redmond, 47, 7536 Vice President Lane, Baton Rouge, in the robbery. At the time, Allen had not been named as a suspect.

Deputies said then that Redmond and Gonday had confronted the victim on Panama Road near Sorrento and robbed him ofelectronics and clothing before leaving him in the car trunk earlier this month.

With all five in custody Thursday, authorities said that three other suspects were also involved and revealed more details of the robbery scheme.

Deputies said the victim thought he was headed to Allen's home on Panama Road to buy illegal drugs, but was being set up to be beaten and robbed in retribution for some past slight.

Heather Firmin, 40, who lives with Allen at 6100 Panama Road, Sorrento, had called the victim and told him to come over, deputies said.

"We think they lured him over there," said Lt. Col. Ward Webb, Ascension Parish sheriff's chief of operations.

Allen, Gonday and Redmond and a fourth man, Dustin Eddy, 36, 41120 Cannon Road, Gonzales, beat the victim until he was unconscious sometime in the evening hours of June 10 or early morning hours of June 11, Webb said.

St. James Parish sheriffs deputies found an abandoned vehicle along La. 70 in Convent on June 11 and discovered the victim in the trunk.

Webb said it is unclear what the suspects believe the victim may have done to them in the past.

The victim is in the hospital and deputies are reviewing whether to book him when he recovers, Webb said.

Redmond turned himself in Tuesday and was booked on counts of attempted first-degree murder, second-degree robbery and simple kidnapping, jail records show.

Firmin and Eddy were arrested June 15 on counts of being principals to attempted first-degree murder, second-degree robbery and simple kidnapping.Firmin was also booked on counts ofcriminal conspiracy and methamphetamine distribution.Her bail was set at $100,000, jail records say.Eddy has bail of $75,000.

Allen was also picked up June 15 but was only booked on counts of drug possession and drug paraphernalia and was later released on bail of $30,000. He was arrested again Thursday and booked in the robbery scheme.

Gonday, who was also booked on a probation violation, had bail of $80,000 set. Allen and Redmond were waiting on Thursday for bail to be set, online jail booking records say.

Ascension Christian taps George Guiterrez as head coach for girls softball

Ascension Christian High School made the announcement to hire George Guiterrez as its new head softball coach, saying, We believe coach Guiterrez will be a fantastic addition to our school and our softball program.

Guiterrez is no newcomer to softball coaching, starting his career in 1994. He spent his first 15 years coaching in travel ball with the Lady Hawks organization, honing his skills in tournament softball.

Guiterrez then left the travel ball arena and spent one year as an assistant coach at Dutchtown High before a reduction in staffing imposed by a LHSAA regulation sent him to Ascension Christian for a year. Guiterrez returned to the Griffins when the regulation was rescinded, where he remained for six years.

I am excited to be heading to Ascension Christian to coach the Lady Lions again. My time at Dutchtown with coach Nancy Ensminger was very rewarding and very helpful in what I learned from her and their staff, Guiterrez said. But I always looked forward to the chance to do it on my own and now I have that opportunity.

As for the new assignment, Ive had the opportunity to meet with the team this past week and have some tryouts and things went really good.

The new head coach wont be tackling the new assignment alone. Guiterrez has his daughter, Carly, as one as his assistants, along with Ricky Willis, whos got just about as much experience as the new head coach with a long stint at Christian Life Academy and Dunham for the last few years. Rounding out the staff is Jonathan Bagwell, who will be a great help, as well.

When Guiterrez finishes up with the fall ball schedule in July, hell be all hands on with his new team.

The 12-10 record this team from last year was led by our pitcher, Maddie Gautreau, and shell be back. With the staff we have and from what Ive seen already, I have great reason to believe our next season will be plenty productive, and well be very competitive, he said.

The baseball career of St. Amant pitching ace Blayne Enlow nearly came to an end before it began. On October 7, 2014, just before his Gator sophomore season, Enlow was in a car crash that left him with a broken pelvis and a fractured ankle in two places.

Many thought the crash would end any hope of Enlow playing baseball again. But with some help from his dad and a belief that was strong, Enlow not only made his way back to the diamond, but went on to what might be described as an only in my dreams career.

With a lot of hard work, Enlow got his fastball speed up to 90 mph by summer. He earned a scholarship offer from LSU that would be a dream come true for any baseball player and then pitched his way into a trial for a chance to play for the USA Baseball 18-and-under team.

Not only did the St. Amant senior pitcher earn a spot on the team, he picked up a win on the mound to help the team win the gold medal at the Pan American Games in Monterrey, Mexico.

That USA team went on to beat Cuba 6-1 in the championship game and finished 7-1 in the tournament. Enlow was the only player from Louisiana on the 20-player roster.

But Enlow wont be playing for LSU next season, which would be heartbreaking for every athlete. Instead, hell be playing major league baseball with the Minnesota Twins. The star St. Amant Gator got a call on the golf course letting him know hed been the first player selected on the second day of the MLB draft in the third round at No. 76 overall. Enlow is scheduled to sign with the Twins on Friday.

In the district championship baseball tournament in St. Francisville from June 15-18, the 9-and-under boys baseball team from Donaldsonville captured the championship title.

Coached by Troy LeBoeuf, Jason Casso and Timmy Chiquet, the team compiled a 4-0 record.

Fueled by hot bats that produced a 12-run average along with a stingy defense and a pitching staff that only allowed 4 runs per game, the boys went undefeated. John Rob Daigle also was awarded the MVP title.

The Mississippi River rose to over 41 feet in Baton Rouge, which is high enough for public concern. It has crested and is falling, so the concern of opening floodgates is over and high water issues have subsided. But there is another group of folks who get a little concerned when the water gets this high: anglers.

But for those anglers, especially the catfish ones, this is a highly anticipated time every spring and early summer. Thats when the river monsters, if I might steal the title, make their way into the trees and along the bank of the levee, leaving them exposed and vulnerable to a bank angler for the catching.

Its not quite as easy as it might seem. First you have to find a place with public access. Then you need to find bait. Thats not too difficult, as night crawlers or cut bait of any kind will usually work pretty good.

Where to cast your bait is probably the problem to work on. As the water falls, the fish pull away from the bank, so you might have to cast in the trees. Start off casting in open water and work your way out. If you dont have any action in about an hour, find another spot so you dont waste too much time.

Its not uncommon for a catfish near 100 pounds to be caught this time of the year, so make sure you have tackle to handle a big fish. The river might fall pretty fast, so get out soon and see if you can catch a big one and send us a photo to publish.
