For Shandria Smith, a Vacherie native and St. James HS alumna, Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans was more than just another major sporting event it was a culmination of passion, dedication, and deep-rooted love for the game.

With this year’s championship marking her fifth Super Bowl involvement, Smith brought both expertise and passion to the 11th iteration of the NFL’s biggest event in New Orleans.

Tiny gold sequins (1/4 inch in diameter) can still be found throughout my house. They are reminders of the hours I spent working on a dress for my granddaughter Adeline. The dress she chose for her school’s carnival ball had an opening on the back of the bodice, and I assured her that I could cover it. I shouldn’t have projected such confidence.

Prior to the beginning of an episode of “Bonanza” on television there was a warning statement in bold print across the screen: “This program contains outdated cultural depictions. Viewer discretion is advised.” That had me quite curious and so I wanted to know what the reason for such a warning could possibly be. The story was about a former well-known painter who had lost his vision. He was repeatedly referred to as blind, so I assume that merited the warning. The episode of “Gunsmoke” which followed had the same warning, but I didn’t watch to know about the topic. I thought of all the times I had been in conversation with others who used words that are culturally outdated and offensive. We would all do well to remember the warning before we start talking and be mindful of our insensitivities towards others.
