During her 25 years in Shreveport very few people knew where the late Robin Rothrock lived. Because she was manager of Hope Medical Group for Women, an abortion clinic, she was constantly subject to harassment. Though her nature was to be outgoing and generous, she had to guard her privacy.
Rothrock was a leader in the perennial struggle to keep abortion available in the region. According to a generously honorary article in the Times, her clinic was "at one time was the only abortion provider in a 400-mile area between Dallas and Jackson, Miss."
Opening the clinic in 1980, Rothrock became a steady visitor to Baton Rouge for lobbying. With a background in sociology from her home state of Florida, she was an articulate and passionate voice for women's rights.
Rothrock, a woman quick to smile and one able to spar with geniality, was well-traveled among the leading businessmen, politicians and physicians of Shreveport and the state of Louisiana. She enjoyed debate and challenges and felt that full extensions of women's rights, even in ill-educated Louisiana, was inevitable.
"She has stuck with the effort to provide abortion care through thick and thin: clinic assaults, fire bombs, protesters, and state regulations aimed at reducing access to abortion care," wrote Pearl Serbanic in nominating Rothrock for a Woman's Health Hero award.
In recent years she became a successful artist, displaying and selling visual art at one time from her Backroom Gallery in the Arodasi Center on Market St. Her art was included in shows at Artspace Shreveport and Bistineau Gallery and displayed at Prima Tazza and Bella Fresca.
She founded Highway Grrls Gallery & Studio near her home in Melbourne, Florida.
"Rothrock was president of the League of Women Voters of Louisiana in the 1980s," wrote the Times."She remained politically active despite a four-year battle against breast cancer."

Jon Soul to lead Coates Bluff Nature Trail walk in East Shreveport on New Year's Eve: Fri, Dec 31, 3 pm
Coates Bluff Nature Trail founder Jon Soul says of the New Year's Eve hike, "Meet at the MSS parking lot off Sevier Rd. at 3 pm, walk the full-length to Valencia, maybe see a little of the cemetery, and then take the nature-loop coming back. I'm thinking that would be between 1 - 1/2 hours of walking/talking time."
Those of you who need to take a shorter hike may stop and return to your vehicle at any time, of course.

Hiking is swell in East Shreveport: try the Coates Bluff Nature Trail, which connects Montessori, Stoner Elem and Magnet High from 'behind' their campuses
Coates Bluff Nature Trail is Shreveport's newest hiking path. It skirts the bottom that was once the head of Bayou Pierre. On one side of the path, which is dotted with flouresecent tape markers, is a tree-covered high bluff. On the other side is a bayou bottom, some of it a pretty waterway and some of it dry.
In hiking it on Dec 26 we found solitude, appealing woods, varied trees and undergrowth, good markers and enough of a challenge to feel we were on an adventure.
We parked at Montessori School for Shreveport, followed the well-trod land beside the bayou until we got to the easily-spotted box of maps on a tree labeled Please Take One. We continued in the lee of the bluff almost one mile til we noticed a well-used path up the hillside, which had gotten lower. At the top o that small rise we saw Valencia Park, Magnet High and, in the near distance, the VA Hospital.
We entered the Valencia/Magnet field through a gate in the chain-link fence and walked to the Valencia Community Garden. There we saw greens being tended by gardeners under the tutelage of Deborah Coleman and Grace Peterson.
On our return we noticed a tombstone; there are historic cemeteries in the Coates Bluff/Olive St area that need rehabilitation. We hiked under and over tree trunks (there are round abouts, too) on our way back to the waterway that makes Anderson Island an island.
Elapsed time for the relaxed hike was about 50 minutes.
Members of A Better Shreveport are planning to hike the path - mid-afternoon - with trail founder, Jon Soul, on New Year's Eve. If you would like to join us, please see the A Better Shreveport blog for finalized arrangements. Or simply go and hike at your leisure.
It is an inspirational bit of terrain and an easy way to check in with Mother Nature. Highly recommended for those children, too.

And a 2-min video here.

Xmas tree, recently arrived, on its way to Eco Mulch & Sod beginning Fri, 9 am to 1 pm
Shreveport Green will collect Christmas trees to recycle into landscaping mulch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 8 at Eco Mulch and Sod, 6105 St. Vincent Ave. in Shreveport.
"Recycling Christmas trees reduces the quantity of waste going to the local landfill and allows the wood to be re-used in an eco-friendly manner," a news release states. The mulch will be given to area parks and schools for landscaping and pathways.
For more information, call Jennette Ginsburg at (318) 219-1888, ext. 14.

Health food restaurateurs John & Katie Koellen retiring and closing a city institution, Earthereal Restaurant & Bakery
"Shreveport-Bossier loses a unique restaurant this week with the closure of Earthereal Restaurant & Bakery, a health food store on Line Avenue where a wonderful married couple - John and Katie Koellen - handled everything from taking the orders to preparing each item by hand," writes Chris Jay in his new city blog. "The restaurant is open for two more days - they'll have normal lunch seatings (11 AM-2 PM) until Thursday, December 23, and will be open for pick-up orders only on Friday, December 24."
Adds Jay, "An incredibly tiny, lunch-only spot, Earthereal always felt like some sort of secret society to me. On any given day, there'd be a dozen or so intelligent-looking people quietly enjoying their lunch. I felt smarter and healthier just for having walked in the place. John and Katie literally knew every customer by name, it seemed, and if Katie had a moment's downtime, she'd move from table to table saying hello."
Not only did John & Katie manage the longest-lived vegetarian / health food restaurant in town, they had a salon. As described by Chris Jay above, the small eatery was a haven and meeting place for artists, civic activists and students as well as the swell class.
The Koellens were additionally important by the many students hired as wait staff. Their former employees constitute an informal but considerable family.
The Koellens are patrons of the arts. They collect art and support the scene, especially in live theater. They also established a gold standard for ethics, responsibility and warmth in their business. Though they are retiring, their have set a mark for generosity and fortitude in Shreveport-Bossier that will live long.

Spamalot @ the Strand Theater, Shreveport: like the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops and Shreveport Regional Arts Council's Christmas in the Sky, performed to a sold-out house
"The Strand is on a roll," said Lily Herd,"because we sold out Fiddler on the Roof recently and today we sold out with Spamalot." Added Herd, "We had a world of calls for tickets today that we had to turn down. Additionally, every ticket that was turned in by a patron who could not attend was then sold."
Spamalot was tight. The 2-hour show was marked by uptown lighting, well-honed voices and impeccable ensemble dances. Spamalot pulled out every trick in the Broadway book, including T & A, audience participation and confetti in the air.
The Shreveport Symphony Orchestra also sold out its Holiday Pops concert at Riverview Theater on the weekend. As did Shreveport Regional Arts Council sell out its vast benefit, Christmas in the Sky, last weekend.
Meanwhile, what might be called the alternative audience has never been larger for events such as minicine's Xmas Under da Ground.
Let it be noted, too, that most of these events have taken place at downtown venues, in the evening.
Not a bad way for Shreveport to close out a difficult year.
