Five PHS students receive Felterman scholarships

Five students have received Felterman Family Memorial Scholarships, which are awarded to Patterson High School students each year.
This year’s recipients are Mia Knight, Kaylee Businelle, Alicea Franklin, Jolie Brown and Remy Everitt.
The Felterman family provided this information about some of the foundation’s namesakes:
David Felterman was born Oct. 23, 1952, and was a 1970 alumnus of Patterson High School. David was a fun-loving guy, avid outdoorsman, sportsman, and somewhat of a daredevil. He enjoyed hunting, camping, boating, fast cars, water skiing and dirt bike riding.
While duck hunting Jan. 2, 1977, hypothermia claimed his life at the young age of 24. He was working in the shipping department at Cameron Iron Works Inc. in Patterson at the time of his death. David is the son of Fulton C. and Sylvia F. Felterman of Patterson.
 Chad Felterman was born Sept. 15, 1979, and was a 1997 alumnus of Patterson High School and valedictorian of his class. He then attended LSU, where he received three degrees, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Civil Law and Juris Doctor, and Master of Business Administration.
Upon graduation he was employed by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety in Baton Rouge and later became budget services director. He exhibited a love for life and enjoyed fishing, Mardi Gras and spending time with his family and friends, especially his niece, nephews and godchildren. On July 28, 2021, Chad passed away due to COVID 19 complications at the age of 41. Chad is the son of Danny C. and Linda B. Felterman of Patterson.
Lee Felterman was born Dec. 4, 1953, and was a 1972 alumnus of Patterson High School. After a distinguished career with Galaxie Marine Service, he founded Lee Felterman & Associates and became a highly respected boat broker.
Lee was deeply committed to his community, serving in key positions on local and state boards, including being a founding director of the Felterman Foundation. Lee was known for his vast knowledge, generosity, kindness and enthusiasm. In his leisure time, Lee enjoyed hunting, fishing and restoring blighted properties in Patterson.
He was an aviation enthusiast, an interest which ultimately claimed his life. Lee died on Oct. 12, 2023, in a tragic airplane crash departing Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport. He was 69 years old and is survived by his beloved wife, Jan, his children, Erin, Ben, and Marc, and nine grandchildren.
The Felterman Foundation was organized December 6, 1990, by Fulton C. and Sylvia F. Felterman. The purpose of the foundation is to receive and administer funds for scientific, educational, charitable, and religious purposes.
The Feltermans provided funding for the foundation until their deaths, Sylvia in 2019 and Fulton in 2022.
Beginning in 1991, and every year since, the Felterman Foundation has distributed funds to numerous worthy causes.

'Level up' at Terrebonne General Men's Health Day

Terrebonne General Health System is hosting Level Up Men’s Health Day on Saturday, June 6, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Terrebonne General Drive-Thru Center. This outdoor event will feature free men’s health screenings for heart problems, diabetes, prostate cancer, high blood pressure, and more, education and wellness information, corn hole, axe-throwing, darts, giveaways and a chance to win a DeWalt Bluetooth speaker.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men are less likely than women to visit a doctor regularly. About 1 in 5 men do not have a regular healthcare provider, and they are significantly more likely than women to skip annual checkups.
“This is a valuable opportunity for men to come out and take care of themselves, something they do not have a tendency to do,” said Dr. Ugo Ezema, pulmonary and critical care specialist. “I am guilty of it myself, and now I have a primary care provider that I visit regularly,” explained Dr. Ugo.

Dear Abby: Wife's sudden change of habits leaves husband in bed alone

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for four years. When we got married, we were both monogamous. We wanted kids and a classic nuclear family, and our interests and political beliefs were similar. We had three kids in 15 months and received no help from anyone.
I wasn’t the perfect husband. I sought out other women via online dating sites, though I never cheated. Toward the end of our fourth year of marriage, my wife slept with another man who has been a friend of hers since she was younger. Now, she wants to have an open relationship. She wants to go over to other men’s houses at all hours of the night. If she goes out, she usually doesn’t return until 4 a.m. or later. I have seen texts with other men she calls “sexy,” telling them she’s attracted to them, among other sexual language. I told my wife I’m not a jealous person, but I’m not polyamorous, and it’s driving me crazy that she refuses to stop. She claims I’m trying to “control” and “isolate” her, and that it’s my job to get over my jealousy. What can I do to reach her?
AT ODDS IN OHIO

DEAR AT ODDS: You have serious decisions to make, among them what is best for your three children and yourself. It isn’t controlling to want a monogamous marriage. If that lifestyle no longer interests your wife, I don’t think she’s going to be willing to change her ways. Frankly, I am shocked that after parenting three children for four years, she has the energy to stay out all night. Could there be something hormonal going on with her?
Postpartum depression?
Consult a licensed mental health professional to help you figure out what may be going on.
And while you’re at it, talk with an attorney, not only about your options, but also about child custody if necessary.

DEAR ABBY: Our adult daughter, “Amanda,” and our 3-year-old granddaughter, “Lucy,” live with us. I watch Lucy while Amanda works. Her commute to work is about 20 minutes. We live in a suburb of a big city, so once in a while traffic causes a delay, but not on most days. Amanda wants to leave for work an hour and a half before she has to be there because she is anxious about getting to work on time. I think leaving 45 minutes before she has to be there is reasonable. Am I being a jerk if I tell her I’m unwilling to take responsibility for Lucy until 45 minutes before Amanda has to be at work? I’m not trying to be insensitive to my daughter’s anxiety, but I have many responsibilities of my own, and my time is valuable.
BUSY MOM, TOO, IN KENTUCKY

DEAR MOM: Your daughter may be anxious about the traffic because she has had a bad experience or two. Her employer may also be a stickler for being punctual. Talk to Amanda and see if perhaps you can work out a compromise — she leaves for work one hour before work, and you have that extra half hour to yourself.
