TGMC’s Teresita McNabb, RN, MSHSA, CNAA, BC Named Rotarian of the Year
Teresita McNabb, RN, MSHSA, CNAA, BC, Vice President of Nursing Services at Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) was awarded Rotarian of the Year along with Mart Black on June 24th at the annual Houma-Terrebonne Rotary Banquet.
McNabb has been a member of the Rotary Club of Houma-Terrebonne for 4 years, but in that short time has been an integral part of the club making a huge impact. Rotarian of the Year is an annual award chosen by the club president, and is the pinnacle of Rotary Club awards. Dan Foster, President of the Rotary Club of Houma-Terrebonne, felt both McNabb and Mart Black were deserving of the honor, and awarded them with a commemorative plaque that states the ideals of a Rotarian - upholding and furthering principles and ideals of the rotary way of life.
“Teresita contributed to the success of the club during this past year. I could count on her to get things done; she was always very dependable and faithful, which helped make my job easier,” said Foster. “She truly has the spirit of a Rotarian, which is service above self. For these reasons, I felt she was truly deserving of this coveted award” said Foster.
According to Foster, it is rare for this award to be given to a Rotarian with few years of service, but McNabb’s efforts and contributions set her apart from the rest. This past year, McNabb served as secretary for the club and was the membership committee chairperson. She is currently serving as President-Elect from July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009, and then she will take over as president for the 2009-2010 term.
When asked about being the recipient of the award, McNabb commented, “It was both a surprise and honor to receive this award from the Houma Terrebonne Rotary Club. I admire the group of Rotarians that comprise our club. They are a wonderful group of generous people who tirelessly work to make our community and world a better place. It is my privilege to be a member of this Club as well as represent our Club as an officer.”
McNabb has been an integral part of the TGMC team for over 22 years. Currently, she is the Vice President of Nursing Services and has served as Assistant Vice President of Nursing Services and has held various leadership positions in the Critical Care Department from staff nurse to Director of the Critical Care Services. Mrs. McNabb holds a certification in Nursing Administration, Advanced and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. She is a member of the Louisiana Organization of Nurse Executives as well as the American College of Healthcare Executives.

Los Angeles Producer Produces views of Houma
Monday, May 01, 2006 (657 reads)
It was only for a few days but still it was risky business. Families, left behind, abandoned, might find it necessary to begin legal proceedings. So why do two men leave their homes in Utah to travel to Houma, Louisiana?
Investigators probing the matter might suspect the men, Lynn Lehmann and Roger Brockbank, friends for over forty years, might have fallen and succumbed to the temptation of feeding themselves on crawfish and shrimp. The same slippery little devils that are very often north of $13 a pound in Salt Lake City and, most often, frozen.
Or maybe it was the scenery. Stately southern homes with football-field size lawns and Oaks dripping with Spanish moss. The pervasive bayous with their mysterious waters crossed by narrow bridges. The sun rising over the suddenly golden water near Cocodrie. The demented thought that maybe an alligator might chase someone down the road providing the perfect photo opportunity.

HLB is “Going to the Ship”
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 (267 reads)
By: Robert Barrilleaux, Jr.
HL Bourgeois entered this year playoffs ranked 13th in the state, but even though they may have been ranked in the middle of the playoff pack they have played evenly with every top tier team they have faced in the playoffs so far. However, they entered Thursday’s night game with their toughest test yet as they faced #1 Huntington High in the LHSAA Top 28 tournament held in Lafayette’s Cajun Dome.
This semi final contest began as both teams started neck in neck, leading to a 10 to 15 score in favor of Huntington at the end of the first quarter. This would be the story for most of the second as well, as it ended with HL on top 29 to 25. The second half started hot for HL as their guards got the touch and started to drain their shots that just seemed not to fall in the 1st half. With the game winding down Huntington, lead by Kendrick Washington, #40, with his 22 points and 16 rebounds and by Corey Ellis, #10, who had 16 points, just couldn’t seem to keep up with the Brave’s speed and fast breaks. The game came to a close with a score of 59 to 71 in favor of Bourgeois. This final score was set as Stevie Howard, #15, threw up an ally oop to Tramel White, #32, in the closing seconds of the game.

Eagles fail to soar on Reservation
Saturday, September 08, 2007 (600 reads)
By: Robert Barrilleaux, Jr.
As the sun went down and the lights turned up, the HLB Braves Football team came ready to play. The Braves, who out powered the 2A St. John team from start to finish, truly looked like a well prepared team. Scoring started as Braves QB, Evan Ingram, found Christian Williams for a 40 yd touchdown reception, then continued after a sack on fourth down the Braves marched down field in two plays for their second score. Then with 2 minutes left in the 2nd Quarter, Christian Williams helped HL go up 21-0, when he ran in his second touchdown of the night. However, St. John did not back down as they answered with a 70-yard touchdown pass. Only to see the braves come back and finish a drive with Jeremy Legarde take it in from 2 yards out, to make the score at the half 27-7.
