Heather Cummings, a Central Louisiana Technical Community College (CLTCC) Practical Nursing student from Florien, was in her first week of Maternal Newborn Class at the school’s Natchitoches Campus when she got the ultimate handson training experience – she delivered her next door neighbor’s baby.

“I was sitting on my porch when her husband ran out and said she was having a baby,” Cummings, a third-semester student, explained. “He asked another neighbor for help, and then she said, ‘aren’t you a nursing student,’ and so I went in to try to help.” They called 911 to get help and more guidance.

Sabine Council on Aging Executive Director Jeff Morrow, left, and Business Office Manager Beverly Sumner display fans donated by Cleco during the company’s 20 th annual Fan Drive to help elderly customers during hot summer months.

Jeff Morrow, executive director of the Sabine Council on Aging is pleased to partner with Cleco once again for the annual fan drive for seniors.

“The fan drive is important to us because fans help our elderly customers keep cool during our hot summer months,” said Ron Smith, director of customer experience. “Furthermore, fans can help customers conserve energy. Air conditioners are typically the largest energy users in a home, and raising the thermostat to 78 degrees and using a fan can help the air temperature feel 10 degrees cooler and help reduce energy usage.”

Councils on Aging offices within Cleco’s service territory are accepting fans and monetary donations by appointment only June 22 through July 3.
