 Brother Murray Bankston, of Holden, spent the day in the jail at the old city hall in Denham Springs on Sunday, July 18. Being in the jail helped raise money for the youth of the Open Air Church, located between Zachary and Clinton, to attend church camp held in June. When asked about his day in the slammer, he replied, “It was fun and for my Lord and the youth, and I would do it again if asked.” A portion of the money raised was also used to bail him out of jail that day.

![John Douzat, 25, of Zachary, has been getting stopped a lot lately. In the rear window of his Toyota truck, a reminder is painted: "Save the Gulf." It's there, he says, so people won't forget about the 11 lives lost, the marine life lost, and the devastation done to the Gulf coast by the BP oil spill. The senior marine biology student from University of Louisiana - Lafayette is helping spread the word so that cleanup efforts don't cease and media coverage doesn't wane.
