WON LOT AT VILLAGE AT MAGNOLIA SQUARE — Rodney and Tracy Barnes and their children are ready to begin construction of their home at Village at Magnolia Square. The couple won the lot in a drawing held by Cookin’ for Central to raise money for the startup of the new Central Community School System back in 2009. With the Barnes are Jimmy Nunnally (left) and Steele Pollard (right), developers of the property.

The forum was held at Pit Crew Barbeque on Hooper Road. It was standing-room only for the event, as statewide, parishwide, and legisla-tive candidates and their supporters packed into the main dining room. Club spokesman Betsy Barnes said she wanted to keep the event totally positive, but Mannino said his main purpose for running for the Senate was to bring honesty and integrity to state government. He said, “I am an anti-tax, small government Christian conservative, and I’m part of a growing move-ment to cut back government where it should be cut.” He said he dis-agrees with Rep. Bodi White’s vote

to raise his own pay to $62,000 for what Mannino described as a part-time job. He also said White has used his official capacity to enrich his business partners. He specifi-cally cited the sale of the tract on Hooper to BREC and the creation of the Central Auction House. Mannino said White’s business partners started Central Auction House to serve local governments who want to buy and sell through on-line bidding. Then White, op-erating from the same office at 444 Wooddale Blvd., passed HB 610 in 2008 to require local governments to use the services of companies like his partners have. “There’s a pattern here that has grown more and more evident,” he said. Rep. White said, “I’ve lived in Central all my life. Now I write the laws. I’ve helped more than 500 people get their retirement back. Our community was dying. I want-ed to do better for my community.” He heralded the accomplishments of the City of Central and the Cen-tral school system.

Elections Have Proven a Time of Change in Central

Woody Jenkins

Woody Jenkins Editor, Central City News

CENTRAL — Since 2005, elections in Central have proven to be a time of change and often some important surprises: • In April 2005, Central voted for incorporation, which took the com-munity in an entirely new direction. • When the appointed Mayor and City Council came up for election, voters replaced two of the appointed Council members, and that changed the tone of the Council. • In 2007, Central voters played a key role in electing Sid Gautreaux as Sheriff. • In 2008, voters surprised the pundits by defeating the proposed

school tax election overwhelmingly. • Sharon Browning became school board president in 2009 and led the board through the process of re-submitting a new, scaled down ver-sion of the tax. Voters approved the new plan, rais-ing sales taxes in Central to the high-est level in the parish. It was quite an expression of confidence in the school board’s plan by a strongly anti-tax community. As a result, the new Central school complex began construction and will be complete in early 2012.

• In March 2010, Central voters elected two more new City Council-men, giving a reform group a three-to-two majority on the Council. This led to a strong stand in favor of the public’s right to know and a movement to replace CH2MHILL as city contractor. That was accom-plished in July of this year.

• In October 2010, voters elected Jim Lloyd and Roxanne Atkinson to the school board. They represent a reform movement on the board. • Now the fall of 2011. What changes will we experience? Reap-portionment has already insured that some changes will occur. You the voter will write the rest of the story.

and school board matters. Please give me your consideration.” Secretary of State Tom Sche-dler, who was appointed by Jay Dardenne, said his first act was to begin a canvas of voters under state and federal law. He purged 122,000 voters who had to be removed. Now Schedler said he is working on a plan which would allow vot-ers to go to their cell phones and quickly determine who’s on the bal-lot in their precinct. He said he has been working to reduce the number of special elections. In the Corporations Division of his office, Schedler said he is work-ing to provide entrepreneurs with all the local and state forms needed to open a business. Derek Babcock, Senate Dist. 13, said he has four children, aged five to 13. “So I’m older than I look!” he said to laughter. Babcock is on the Executive Board of Louisiana Family Forum. He said he is espe-cially interested in fiscal and family issues. He is chairman of a citizens committee in Livingston Parish that has been fighting for good roads. Babcock is a health insurance agent and “comes from a family of small businessmen.” Sen. Dale Erdey, also District 13, was on crutches for the event and started by saying, “I’m going for the sympathy vote!” “I’m proud to represent Central. What a wonderful community you are. I’m proud of what we’ve done in education, especially the creation of the Central school district. I’ve supported $627 million in teach-er pay raises. I’m pro-business. We’ve promoted Bass Pro, North

Oaks, and Juban Crossing. I’m against the Loop and have led the charge in the Senate.” “As vice chairman of the Trans-portation Committee, I have brought $423 million in road improvements to our area,” he said. Barry Elkins, House Dist. 64, said he has a degree in biology, taught school, went into business, and then studied law at Southern

University. He now operates Mag-nolia Title. “I don’t want to get into a discussion on the Loop, but we do need the Hooper Road bridge,” he said. Valarie Hodges, House Dist. 64, said she is a native of Central and first cousin to Donald Ray Kennard. Her mother was the sister of Ster-ling Kennard, Donald Ray’s father.

REP. BODI WHITE VOTED TO GIVE HIMSELF A MASSIVE PAY RAISE. Rep. Bodi White voted to raise his own legislative pay during the current term. Already making $42,000 a year for a part-time job (2-3 months a year), he voted to raise his pay to $62,000 a year. Gov. Jindal vetoed the bill!REP.BODIWHITEVOTEDTOTAXYOURUSEOFTHEINTERNET AND MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR LOUISI-ANA COMPANIES TO SELL ON THE INTERNET. Rep. White authored a bill to begin the terrible precedent of impos-ing a monthly tax on each computer a person uses to access the Internet (HB 569 of 2009). He also voted to make our Louisi-ana businesses pay state and local sales tax on sales they make on the Internet, which would make them non-competitive with national companies selling on the Internet (HB 641 of 2011).

deal, White appeared to choke up a bit and said, “My wife and I lost $100,000 on that so the people of Central could have a park.” White drew loud applause for his remarks as he took his seat. Billy Nungesser, Lt. Governor.The evening opened with statewide candidates. Since none of the gu-bernatorial candidates were in at-tendance, the first speaker was Billy Nungesser, the president of Plaque-mines Parish, who is running for Lt. Governor against incumbent Jay Dardenne. Nungesser said, “After the oil spill, I saw a cooperative spirit. I don’t think an elected official should say, ‘That’s not my job!’ I’m not an expert on tourism but I can hire ex-perts, and they won’t be from out of state.” Nungesser said, “In Plaquemines Parish, everybody has a job. We had a $17 million surplus this year. As Lt. Governor, I’ll do the job that needs to be done. I’ll do the right thing for the right reason, and I would really appreciate your sup-port — there, 2-1/2 minutes — my shortest speech ever!” Attorney Gen. Buddy Caldwell asked for everyone’s support — only to find out that night that his only opponent, Congressman Joseph Cao, had dropped out of the race. Caldwell said, “You need to de-cide in each race what is required and see what that candidate’s qualifi-cations are. I’m not a policy-maker. I’m a lawyer and a prosecutor. I’ve tried everything from murder and armed robbery to reapportionment

don Rogillio, Rep. Bodi White, and Sen. Clo Fontenot. • February 2008 — Rep. Bodi White introduced House Bill 792 of 2008 to allow Central to pull out of BREC (Baton Rouge Recre-ation and Parks Commission) and create the new Central Recreation District. This would have allowed the $1.1 million in property taxes paid by property owners in Central to stay in Central and be used to build and operate parks in Central. • April 23, 2008 — In an inter-view in the Business Report, Rep. Bodi White and Central Mayor Mac Watts expressed dissatisfac-tion with BREC services in Central. • May 12, 2008 — BREC direc-tor Bill Palmer held a meeting with Central leadership which included Rep. Bodi White, Central Mayor Mac Watts, and Russell Starns. As a result of that meeting, White agreed to pull his bill from the files of the legislature and BREC agreed to a $6.25 million capital outlay program for Central. •May14,2008 — HB 792 was scheduled to be heard before the House Committee on Municipal and Parochial Affairs at the State Capitol. However, Rep. White announced in front of the commit-tee that a compromise had been reached. Present with Bodi White were Watts; Starns, at that time president of the Central Communi-

ty School Board, and Palmer, the director of BREC. Rep. White an-nounced and Palmer confirmed at the committee meeting that White would pull down the bill, and that BREC had set aside $6.25 mil-lion for parks in Central, includ-ing $575,000 for the Greenwell Springs Historic Park, $2.2 mil-lion for the Central Community Park, and $2.92 million for the Central Sports Park. • Late May 2008 — In an inter-view with the Central City News, Bill Palmer, the director of BREC, said the new Central Community Park would probably be located on 30 acres of land owned by Bran-don Rogillio behind Central Mid-dle School. When asked about the fact that the land was low-lying

STEP-BY-STEP HOW IT WORKED: 1 - Rep. Bodi White, Brandon Rogillio, and Gordon Rogillio formed Parcel 52, LLC, in January 2007; 2 - Two days later, Parcel 52, LLC, purchased land on Hooper Road, called “Parcel 52” for $300,000; 3 - In May 2008, Rep. Bodi White agreed to compromise with BREC to build three parks in Central, in-cluding a Central Sports Park; 4 - In June 2009, BREC bought Parcel 52 for $709,000, but Parcel 52, LLC got to retain a large commercial development site on Hooper and the mineral rights; 5 - BREC also agreed to pay Par-cel 52. LLC $130,000 to build a road through Parcel 52, LLC’s commercial development. BOTTOM LINE: 1 - BREC paid for all of Parcel 52, LLC’s initial $300,000 investment plus a $409,000 profit; 2 - Parcel 52, LLC, got to keep the commercial development site on Hooper Road, as well as the minerals on the entire site; and 3 - BREC paid for a 100-foot-long 3-lane road with curbs and sidewalks through the center of Parcel 52, LLC’s commercial development.

NewRoad,Minerals,$409,000Profitand subject to flooding, he said he would investigate that. Palm-er also said in that interview that $600,000 would be spent in Central “before the end of the year” on the Greenwell Springs Historic Park. • Late May 2008 — In an inter-view with the Central City News, Rep. Bodi White said the new Cen-tral Sports Complex would include nine baseball fields, three soccer fields, and a sand volleyball court. White said more details on the project would be announced soon. • June 19, 2008 — Central City News published an article detailing plans for the three new parks and showing details of the $6.25 mil-lion budget approved by BREC. [Go to www.centralcitynews.net, then search for the June 19, 2008, edition, and go to Page 8.] • Sept. 25, 2008 — Parcel 52, LLC, amended its documents with the Secretary of State, and Gordon Rogillio replaced Rep. Bodi White as an officer of Parcel 52, LLC. • Oct. 30, 2008 — BREC au-thorized Bill Palmer to execute the purchase of land for the Central Sports Park. • Dec. 18, 2008 — BREC un-veiled four proposed plans for the new Central Sports Park at a public meeting in Central. BREC did not announce where the park would be located, but the design of the park was an exact match for the tract owned by Parcel 52, LLC. The promotional materials published by BREC said the Sports Park would be complete in 24 months. • June 11, 2009 — The BREC Board authorized the execution of the documents to purchase a por-tion of the property owned by Par-cel 52, LLC. Two things owned by Parcel 52, LLC, were excluded from the sale: • The commercial frontage on Hooper Road, which was one of the most valuable parts of the prop-erty, and • The mineral rights, which could also be worth a substantial sum, in view of BP drilling in the area. So Parcel 52, LLC retained both the commercial frontage on Hoop-er Road and the mineral rights. The site, which was purchased by Parcel 52, LLC for $300,000 in January 2007 was sold to BREC in June 2009 for $709,000 — a profit of $409,000. In addition, BREC agreed to pay

Parcel 52, LLC another $130,000 for earthwork and a 100-foot-long street with curbs and sidewalks. This street will connect Hooper Road to the proposed park and runs through the center of the commer-cial property which was retained by Parcel 52, LLC. • Sept. 1, 2011 — As of Sep-tember 2011, BREC has spent no money on the Greenwell Springs Historic Park, and the park does not exist. The $600,000, which was supposed to be spent before the end of 2008, has not been spent. BREC has spent no money on the Central Community Park, and that park does not exist. The Central Sports Park, which was supposed to be complete with-in 24 months of December 2008, is still far from completion. Ear-lier this year, BREC announced that only a fraction of the Central Sports Park could be built, because funds are not available. However, as a result of what has occurred, Parcel 52, LLC, is in a far better position: • From funds provided by BREC, Parcel 52, LLC, has been able to completely pay off its initial in-

vestment of $300,000. • Parcel 52, LLC, has made a profit of $409,000. • Parcel 52, LLC, owns a large, valuable tract of commercial prop-erty fronting on Hooper Road, which is ready for development. • Parcel 52, LLC, owns the

mineral rights on the property. • Parcel 52, LLC has the ben-efit of $130,000 worth of improve-ments for a 100-foot-long street with curbs and sidewalks, which provide access to the park — and to Parcel 52’s commercial prop-erty — from Hooper Road.

Can You Spot the SeriousKnee Problem on This X-Ray?

DENHAM SPRINGS — Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great men-tally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away! After starting treatment of knee pain with a breakthrough technology, we’ve seen hun-dreds of people with knee problems leave the office pain free.

Do You Have Any of theFollowing Conditions? • Arthritis • Kneepain • Cartilagedamage • Bone-on-bone • Tendonitis • Bursitis • Tendonitis • Crunchingorpoppingsounds

If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology (asseenonWAFB,Channel9,Healthline)may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees.

Finally, You Have An Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery New research in a treatment called low level laser therapy, or cold laser, is having a profound effect on patients suffering with knee pain. Unlike the cutting type of laser seen in movies and used in medical proce-

dures, the cold laser penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect or damage. Cold laser therapy has been tested for 40years,hadover2,000paperspublishedon it,and been shown to aid in damaged tissue re-generation, decrease inflammation, relieve pain, andboosttheimmunesystem.Thismeansthatthere is a good chance cold laser therapy could be your knee pain solution, allowing you to live a more active lifestyle. Professional athletes like Lance Armstrong and team members of the New England Patri-ots rely upon cold laser therapy to treat their sports-relatedinjuries.Theseguysusethecoldlaser for one reason only ... It Promotes Rapid Healing of the Injured Tissue. Before theFDAwould clear thecold laserfor human use, they wanted to see proof that it worked.Thisledtotwolandmarkstudies. The first study showed that patients whohad cold laser therapy had 53 percent better improvement than those who had a placebo. The second study showed patients who usedthe laser therapy had less pain and more range of motion days after treatment. If the cold laser can help these patients, it can help you too.

Here’s What Some of Our RecentPatients Had to Say “My knee was hurting so much I had to take pain medication three to four times a week. After treatment I could walk, go up and down stairs and stretch out my legs while lying down without pain. I haven’t taken anything for pain sincebeingtreated.ThankstoDr.Rothandhisstaff!”–RoseR. “For two years I suffered with knee pain and couldn’tsleepatnight.DoctorstoldmeIneed-ed both knees replaced but because of health

reasons I couldn’t have it done.

Cats Lose Wide Open Duel with Woodlawn

CENTRAL — Despite a powerful offense led by junior quarterback Brett Courville, Central High dug itself a hole last Friday against Woodlawn and couldn’t get out. Woodlawn won 41-27. Starting five sophomores, Cen-tral is young! Coach Doug Dotson said, “This team has tremendous promise. They are very talented.

They’re going to get better week after week. What a fight they put up against Woodlawn! They never gave up. When the Panthers went up by three TD’s, Gary Triplet im-mediately answered with a 98-yard kickoff return.” Dotson was pleased with quar-terback Courville, who amassed 284 yards and was responsible for three touchdowns. His longest run was 56 yards. “Give Woodlawn some credit,” Dotson said, “They are an out-

standing football team. I can’t say enough about Jamal Lofton. He was outstanding for the Panthers.” “We’ve played St. Thomas More, the No. 1 team in the state, and Woodlawn, which has as much talent as anyone.” Dotson gave credit to several Central players who performed well. Zach Hetrick had four tack-les behind the line and Tony Ra-gusa was outstanding. After watching Gary Triplet set sail for 98 yards, Coach Dot-

son said, “We’re going to get that young man the ball more.” Triplet has blazing speed — one of the fastest athletes in the state — and played double duty for the Wildcats. During the entire 2nd half, he played both offense and defense, something rarely seen in Central — or anywhere in 5A foot-ball these days in Louisiana. His speed was needed to defend against

She attended Central High until the 12th grade when she was shipped to Glen Oaks under the busing plan. She’s been married to her hus-band, a pastor, for 39 years, and she is a mother and grandmother. She’s on the Executive Committee of the state Republican Party and has been president of the Denham Springs Republican Women’s Club. “I volunteered for Jindal and Vit-ter but this is my first time to be a candidate. I’ve worked for the bet-terment of our community for many years. I didn’t just show up,” she said. She has been endorsed by the Tea Party of Louisiana and Louisiana-Conservative.com. As a mission-ary to Latin America, she said she has seen what socialism can do to

a country, and she wants no part of it. She is committed to improving our roads, especially a bridge over the Amite River at Hooper Road but opposes the Loop. Other candidates who spoke in-cluded Sheriff Sid Gautreaux, BESE member Chaz Roemer, the coroner, Dr. Shannon Cooper, and his chal-lenger, Dr. Beau Clark. The Central City News will re-port on their remarks next week.

Central Meets Catholic at Memorial Friday

Woodlawn’s receivers. Devon Gale had a good night for the Wildcats, as did the entire of-fensive line. “You don’t rush for over 200 yards without the O-line doing well,” Dotson said. This Friday, Central plays tradi-tional rival Catholic High at Me-morial Stadium, starting at 7 p.m. It will be an unusual game. The two squads are normally battling for the District 4-5A championship and enter the game undefeated. This year, the two schools are in

different districts. Catholic High is 0-3, and Central is 1-2. “Don’t be deceived,” Dot-son said, “Catholic played three outstanding teams — Zachary, Mandeville, and Denham Springs — all of which are undefeated. It’s a typical Catholic High team. Not flashy but well-coached and talent-ed. They play hard. Be watching their running back Khalil Thomas and their Wildcat package. They run it much like J. R. Richardson did for us last year.”

Coach Dotson asked Central fans to turn out en masse for the Catho-lic High game. “This is one of our most important rivalries. We need our entire Central community to be there in the stands Friday night. Catholic will try to black us out. So I’m asking Wildcat fans to wear white Friday night.” “I’m asking our fans to have pa-tience with us. We have fewer than 20 seniors and five sophomores starting on offense. But they are homegrown and maturing quickly.”
