All clear after gas leak at East Ascension High on Thursday – The Advocate
Posted: February 5, 2020 at 7:48 am
The gas leak that forced an evacuation of students at East Ascension High in Gonzales on Thursday morning stemmed from a broken gas line now repaired that ran from the teacher's lounge to an upstairs restroom, school district officials said.
School district employees have repaired the broken pipe and worked with emergency officials to air out the building, said Jackie Tisdell, public information officer for the school system.

After the gas leak was discovered to be isolated to a specific area, before its repair, students were moved inside the school's Freshman Academy building and cafeteria/auditorium.
"We anticipate resuming normal operations at the school," Tisdell said.
Tisdell thanked the Gonzales Fire Department, Gonzales Police Department and other law enforcement officials who assisted for their quick response.

Catholic pulls away late to top East Ascension, improve to 27-2 – The Advocate
Posted: at 7:48 am
The District 5-5A opener between Catholic High and East Ascension was everything it was expected to be Tuesday night at Catholic.
The high-powered offenses of the Bears and Spartans took center stage in the first half, and the teams played on even terms before Catholic pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 71-58 win.
It felt like a playoff game, which is what district is all about, Catholic coach Mark Cascio said. I'm thankful we found a way to win. EA is a great team, and weve got a lot of respect for those guys.
Catholic (27-2, 1-0) led 45-43 after three quarters, and there were four lead changes in the first two minutes of the fourth. Caleb Warner scored six of Catholics first eight points in the quarter, and his tip in with five minutes left gave the Bears a 53-48 lead that they wouldnt relinquish.
(Caleb) is the type of guy that is going to make plays, Cascio said. It's just a matter of how and when, but he always figures out a way. Hes been a three-year player for us and is battle-tested.
Warner finished with 11 points. London Scott led the Bears with 22 points and Kentrell Garnett added 17. Ian Cavana, who made four of Catholics eight 3-pointers, scored 18.
East Ascension (20-8, 0-1) appeared to have an inside advantage at times with the play of Hobert Grayson and Javon Carter. Late in the game, a missed dunk attempt by Grayson and a turnover by Carter stopped possessions when the Spartans were trying to come back.
Grayson (17 points), Cameron Dunbar (12) and Camryn Carter (11) were the scoring leaders for the Spartans.
We had the advantage in the post. We were getting what we wanted but we came up short, EA coach Tyler Turner said. When youre playing just one round in district you have to make sure youre on your game every night. Everybody in district is good, so you have to focus and lock in.
Catholic created separation in the fourth quarter by making 9 of 13 shots from the field. Garnett and Cavana each hit 3-pointers to help the Bears take a 59-52 lead. East Ascension only got as close as 61-56 after Graysons layup with 2:49 left to play.
Garnett got a basket off a steal, and Catholic made six of nine free throws to pull away in the final minutes.
East Ascension enjoyed the lead for most of the first half. The Spartans led by as many as 10 points in the first quarter, and nine points in the second.
Trailing 29-20, Catholic went on a 12-2 run highlighted by 3-pointers from Garnett and Cavana. Grayson scored in the lane to give the Spartans a 33-32 lead at halftime.

Posted: at 7:48 am
Boys
1. Scotlandville (25-3): A hall of fame game against Episcopal was the lone game for the Class 5A Hornets since their return from a national tournament.
2. Catholic (26-2): The Class 5A Bears are not the biggest or most prolific team. But they keep winning nine games in a row now.
3. Madison Prep (18-5): After a few tough losses the 3A Chargers have figured some games out and a win over East Ascension last week is part of the progression.
4. East Ascension (20-7): A one-point loss to MPA last Friday is certainly not enough to drop the Spartans on this list. Their Tuesday game at Catholic is notable.
5. Zachary (22-5): The Broncos of 4-5A lost a close one to Catholic on Friday but remain in a top group that oozes with parity.
6. University (21-3): All the 3A/Division II Cubs do is win claiming victories in seven of their past eight games.
7. Walker (19-6): The Class 5A Wildcats posted two more wins last week.
8. Port Allen (19-5) and Dunham (17-11): These two teams of Class 2A (PAHS) and 2A/Division III (Dunham) have split their games this season and both figure to make deep playoff runs again.
10, Plaquemine (20-8): The Green Devils are 3-0 in District 7-4A and seem to be hitting their stride.
On the outside looking in: Brusly, Episcopal, Jehovah-Jireh, McKinley.
1. Lee (20-4): Three nice wins for the Patriots of Class 4A/Division II last week, including one over 5A power Ponchatoula.
2. Doyle (23-3): Two more nice wins, including one over district rival Northlake were notable for the Class 2A Tigers.
3. Zachary (22-5): The Broncos of Class 5A bounced back in a big with two victories last week.
4. University (19-7): Add three more wins for the Class 3A/Division II Cubs, who have won six of their last seven games.
5. Madison Prep (14-13): It was tough early in the year, but with six straight wins and a 5-0 record in 7-3A, early losses hardly matter.
6. East Iberville (25-4): After losses to two 5A schools the week before, the Tigers of 1A bounced back with wins over 3A and 1A teams.
7. East Ascension (12-7): Never sleep on the Spartans, who have five wins in a row and are unbeaten in District 5-5A play.
8. McKinley (14-10): The Class 5A Panthers have been up and down, but should reap benefits of a very tough schedule.
9. Albany (20-7): The Hornets of 3A have won six in a row and are unbeaten in the always tough District 7-3A.
10, Walker (20-10): A loss to Denham Springs to open 4-5A was part of a 1-1 week for the Wildcats.
On the outside looking in: Brusly, Denham Springs, Dutchtown, French Settlement, St. Michael.

Whats So Great About the Ascension – RELEVANT Magazine
Posted: January 29, 2020 at 1:45 am
Jesus rose from the dead. Its the foundation of what Christians believe. But is it really so amazing? Thats an unorthodox question, I know: but why? Why, as Christians, should we believe that Jesus Christ is God because he rose from the dead?
The fact that Christ rose from the dead isnt all that miraculous. Yes, Ive never met a resurrected guy before, but there are plenty of stories in the Bible (and outside the Bible) of people rising from the dead.
If rising from the dead is the foundation of faith, then why arent we worshiping Lazarus, after all?
If it isnt the resurrection that a Christian should base their faith on, then what? Its what came after. The part of the story that almost feels like a mere footnote; the part that some of the gospel writers didnt mention at all; and the part that doesnt even have a holiday attached to it. What is it? The Ascension.
Jesus didnt just raise from the deadhe Ascended into heaven.
But what does the Ascension mean, and why does it feel like just a footnote?
Before getting into why the Ascension is so important, its worth taking a detour to speak to the elephant in the room: Jesus ascended into heaven, so why werent people talking about it? Whats more impressive after all? A guy coming back from the dead or a guy straight up walking into the gates of heaven?
The Ascension may not be the most talked about event of the gospels, but it certainly was spoken of. Luke mentions it. So does John. And depending on where you think the Gospel of Mark ended, he did too. And lets not forget the dozens of places it is mentioned outside of the gospel.
The reason it doesnt take a more upfront role is twofold. One: it probably wasnt all that impressive. It wasnt like Jesus strapped on a pair of hover shoes and road up into the sky shooting lasers out of his eyeballs for all within a 300-mile radius to see.
The Ascension was a deeply personal event that was more for his core team of disciples to witness, and then tell the world about.
In reality, theres nothing to say he Ascended at all; the word Ascension is a reference to going to heavennot the action in which he got there. The Ascension could have been a portal opening to heaven for all we know.
And two: the resurrection was more important to the Gospel audience. In terms of the story, most new believers were most impressed by the resurrection account, and so thats what they were told.
The resurrection is important, but its nothing without the theology behind the Ascension.
So if the resurrection is what attracted new believers, but its nothing without the theology of the Ascension, then why is the Ascension so important?
We all know that Christ died for our sins; anyone whos spent an hour in Sunday school can tell you that much; but Christ went beyond that: he defeated death. He fulfills the promise to return to the Father, and he is no longer bound by Earth. Heaven is boundless. Christ can now travel anywhere and to anybodyfully accessible all the time.
But more significant than all of that is the fact that he ascended into heaven with the promise that something else would descent down on us: the Holy Spirit. With the Ascension, God is something that can manifest inside of us through the Spirit.
We dont know what the Ascension looked like, but we do know what Christ did before he left. And its moving.
He could have given his greatest sermon right before he leftand, depending on how you look at it, he did. He knew he was leaving. It was time to leave his disciples with parting words. But he didnt use words: he used an action. His final act on Earth wasnt a speech: it was a blessing. Luke 24:50 says he, lifted up his hands and blessed them.
There were words spoken. But its the action that is important to the Gospel writer. But its even more moving than that. His hands are risen in this moment. Who cares, right? Not exactly. This is a pretty small bunch. Jesus could have just as easily put his hands over themthat is what would have been expected. But instead the blessing is separated from themand even more: over them. Its as if hes not just blessing the disciples: hes giving a blessing that radiants over them to the entire world.
After the Ascension theres something else thats important. The disciples seem instantly changed. You see a change happening after the resurrection, but there still seems to be reservations and confusions.
When Jesus Ascends, the disciples get it. Luke 24:52 says that they worshipped him. Jesus isnt the teacher anymore; hes not the prophet; he is God. They are worshiping the way you worship God alone.
Jesus could have risen from the dead then Ascended into heaven instantly, giving the Holy salute to anyone there to witness it. But he stayed for 40 days. He gave his final teachings in those 40 days, and those teachings transformed the scarred and confused disciples into men of action who were prepared to go into the world.
Easter is a, no doubt, an important holiday, but when you want to dig in deep and really understand the closeness we can have with God, then look to the Ascension.

UAB Health and Ascension St. Vincent’s form strategic alliance – alreporter.com
Posted: at 1:45 am
Friday, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Health System (UABHS) and Ascension St. Vincents are entering into a strategic alliance.
The two hospital systems announced that the alliance will increase access to high-quality, innovative medical care through multiple outlets and health programs.
Pending appropriate approvals, including the approval of the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees, the new strategic alliance will enable the two entities, which have a long history of collaboration, to further enhance patient care and address Alabamas most challenging health threats.
The two nonprofit companies announced that the new alliance will utilize innovative strategies to address health disparities, mental and behavioral health, and diabetes, with an emphasis on expanded access for poor, vulnerable and rural populations.
As health care continues to evolve, it is important for health systems to work with each other to provide innovative, person-centered care, said UAB Health System CEO Will Ferniany. It has always been our shared commitment with Ascension St. Vincents to remain on the forefront of this vital health care transformation.
Ascension St. Vincents and the UAB Health System have a longstanding, very positive relationship, said Ascension St. Vincents Health CEO Jason Alexander. We look forward to continuing to build on the complementary strengths of both organizations to serve the increasing needs of residents across our state.
Through closer alignment of each organizations many locations, specialties and expertise, the health systems will strive to better accommodate patients, Ferniany said.

These positive changes will strengthen our ability to better serve our community, Alexander said. Our expectation is that, through this alliance, both the UAB Health System and Ascension St. Vincents will be better positioned to carry out our missions.

UABHS and Ascension St. Vincents leaders both say that the new alliance will enhances their longstanding relationship and affirms each organizations ability to help patients receive the right care in the right setting at the right time, including those who need highly specialized care.
Ascension St. Vincents and UABHS have worked together successfully in many ways, including neonatal and anesthesia services. Currently, Ascension St. Vincents facilities receive admissions from UABs Gardendale Emergency Department and UAB faculty perform surgery at Ascension St. Vincents One Nineteen.
Alexander said that a closer alignment with the UABHS supports Ascension St. Vincents ability to achieve its strategic goals for the benefit of everyone the health system is privileged to serve.
Ascension St. Vincents joins a growing number of health care organizations to expand collaborations with the UAB Health System to improve health care delivery to Alabamians.
UABHS facilities will retain the UABHS or UAB Medicine brands. Ascension St. Vincents facilities will be Ascension St. Vincents. The two entities stress that this is a strategic alliance and not a merger.
Economic developer Dr. Nicole Jones told the Alabama Political Reporter, The strategic alliance will allow both entities to put patients health and wellness first, which will help improve the quality of life of patients in Birmingham and central Alabama.
UAB is the largest employer in the state and is already by far the largest healthcare provider. The entities they bring in to the alliance include: UABHS; UAB Hospital; University of Alabama Health Services Foundation; Medical West Hospital; Callahan Eye Hospital, Clinics and Ophthalmology Services Foundation; Gardendale Freestanding Emergency Department (FED) and Clinics; Highway 150 Clinics and Medical West Freestanding Emergency Department; and Acton Road. Ascension St. Vincents brings a number of hospitals and clinics into this alliance. They include: Ascension St. Vincents Birmingham; Ascension St. Vincents East; Ascension St. Vincents One Nineteen; Ascension St. Vincents St. Clair; Ascension St. Vincents Chilton; Ascension St. Vincents Blount; Ascension St. Vincents Trussville; and Ascension St. Vincents Medical Group. In addition while the Cooper Green Authority initiative is not part of the alliance, operations will be coordinated to enhance services for Cooper Green patients.

East Ascension girls grab early lead, remain consistent in win over McKinley – The Advocate
Posted: at 1:45 am
GONZALESIt was easy for people to write off the East Ascension girls basketball team early in the year. Graduation took its toll after back-to-back trips to the LHSAA tournament.
A 1-5 start did not help the Spartans, either. Instead of reloading, it looked like EAHS was locked in a rebuilding season. Fast-forward six weeks and the Spartans are on the fast track.
UL-Monroe signee Sadie Williams scored eight of her 15 points in the second quarter to help power East Ascension past McKinley 47-39 in a District 5-5A game played Tuesday night at EAHS. It was the ninth win in 11 games for the Spartans.
We could have finished a lot better, EAHS coach Dennis Chandler said. We could have shot free throws better and done a better job of boxing out under the boards there at the end.
But this really is one of our better games. We had LaGrange (4A power) on the ropes right here in this gym and let them off. And we lost to Lee (defending Division II champion) at their place at the end. I liked the effort we got tonight.
"Weve got a decent little program going. A program goes from year-to-year by playing defense, rebounding and making easy shots. I thought we did those things.
Aja Causey added 13 for the Spartans (11-7, 3-0). Texas A&M signee Kenyal Perry had 15 for McKinley (12-9, 0-2), while Rutgers signee Erica Lafayette added 13.
The keys to success in this game were simple. The Spartans claimed the lead in the first half and limited chances for Perry and Lafayette. The combination of the two made it difficult for the Panthers to cut the lead below eight points.
We struggled executing the things we needed to execute, first-year McKinley coach Temeka Johnson said. Against a veteran coach and an experienced team like that you have to make sure you do everything you need to do. Tonight we did not do that. The good thing is there is always another day, another game and a chance to learn from this.
East Ascension built a 27-19 halftime lead. McKinley scored first in the third quarter to cut the Spartan lead to six. EAHS remained confident, often breaking down the McKinley defense to get an easy basket.
Williams was assigned to guard Lafayette, who has been one of her summer AAU teammates. Williams complimented her teammates on their helpside defense.
Were just trying to when games, Williams said. In the playoff rankings (power ratings) we're low and were trying to work our way up. The emphasis stays a lot on practice, which is harder than the games. Were trying to come together as a team so we can make a playoff run.
