East Feliciana Police Jury Hears Residents’ PleasBy Patricia Stallman

A trailer full of snakesThe April 6 East Feliciana Par-

ish Police Jury meeting began with a plea from Ms. Bennie Davis of Clin-ton regarding an uninhabited trailer that “sits right outside” the door to her own home, a matter of a few feet away. The trailer is “full of snakes,” Davis says. As the owner has left it open, she fears that criminals could enter it, hide and confront her upon her return home. She considers the trailer both dangerous and an eye-sore.

The owners of the property where the trailer stands, Davis says, are her niece, Marilyn Winters; the children of William Winters, who is deceased; and Ms. Davis herself and her son, Kerry Winters. Mariah Winters, the daughter of Marilyn Winters, accord-

ing to Ms. Davis, owns the trailer. Three years ago, Ms. Davis says, over a weekend, the trailer owner’s employer helped her move the trail-er onto the family property. Though sewerage hookup never occurred, Da-vis says, those living in the trailer got electricity from another nearby trailer. A year ago, after a storm, when that electrical source failed, the inhabit-ants moved to other residences. For the past year, Ms. Davis has tried to bring about the removal of the trailer so that she may clean the site and fill damaged areas with dirt.

Though the owner of the trailer had a March court date, an error oc-curred, one juror said, and the papers meant for the owner were served in-stead to Ms. Davis, who, the juror said, failed to give them to the owner,

Spike Attends Ex-POW Meeting in Baton RougeBy Beth DawSon

The Red Stick Chapter of the Amer-ican Ex-POWs met April 7 in the Lau-ren Bacall Room of the Hollywood Ca-sino in Baton Rouge.

Everyone who attended the meeting was honored to welcome three very dis-tinguished guests—Pete Heine, Jared Heine and a black Labrador retriever named Spike.

Grandfather Pete Heine introduced his grandson, Jared Heine of St. Fran-cisville, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Afghanistan with Spike, a bomb-detection dog. The two went on over 100 missions together, and Spike saved many lives. On their last mission, Jared’s friend stepped on an IED, an im-provised explosive device. The friend lost both legs, and Jared, who suffered severe head injuries, was knocked un-conscious. He noticed that Spike was gone but didn’t realize that the dog had run two miles back to the base for help.

Heine was sent back home and Spike ended up working for the Vir-ginia Capitol Police at the State Capitol.

Heine’s mother, Mary Heine of St.

Francisville, noticed how much her son Jared talked about Spike and how much he missed his dog. Knowing that if she found Spike, a reunion could help her son fight his PTSD, she went on a mission to locate the dog, and she suc-ceeded. Mary Heine is due much credit for reuniting Spike and Jared.

Commander Beth Dawson present-ed Jared with The Courage to Remem-ber: PTSD–From Trauma to Triumph by Lester Tenney, a survivor of the Bataan Death March.

Eleanor Bertrand, a former vol-unteer nurse with Military Historical Tours, presented Jared with a gift of volcanic ash from Mt. Suribachi which she brought home from her many tours to Iwo Jima. The iconic picture of the raising of the American flag on Mt. Su-ribachi along with the USMC Memo-rial in D.C. stands as a symbol of this grateful Nation’s esteem for the hon-ored dead of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Dawson also presented Jared with a basket full of coffee supplies from the Loyalty Chapter and Alexander Stirling Chapter in appreciation for his service.

Town of Clinton: Meeting the Challenge of AutismBy UrSUla Shaw

Pam Matthews and Lisa Davis-Washington sponsored The Autism Awareness Walk-a-thon in Clinton on April 2. The purpose of the walk-a-thon was to educate and increase community awareness about autism. “Autism spectrum disorder” and “autism,” according to a National Autism Society online source, refer to “complex disorders of brain de-velopment…characterized by dif-ficulties in social interaction and in verbal and nonverbal communica-tion and by repetitive behaviors.”

The Autism Society of America, which has designated the month of April as Autism Awareness Month, estimates that one in 150 people in America is affected by autism.

The Clinton-area group gath-ered in front of Landmark Bank and marched around the East Feliciana Parish Courthouse and back to the Clinton Town Hall.

Matthews, who is raising a grand-child with autism, emphasized how important it is to spread the word to

others that they are not alone in cop-ing with this challenge. “Knowledge is the key to coping and understand-ing,” Matthews said. Davis-Wash-ington added how important early detection is, along with uncondition-al love and unwavering patience. Both were grateful to Landmark Bank for providing the venue and to other community agencies that con-tributed to this worthy cause.

The Sixth Annual Active for Au-tism 5K Run, Walk and Fun Fest will take place Saturday, April 18, at the Baton Rouge State Police headquar-ters on Independence Boulevard. Check Families Helping Families of Greater Baton Rouge for regis-tration details. There the reader will learn that proceeds from the Baton Rouge event will help support the Families Helping Families Resource Center, where parents and caregiv-ers from an eight-parish area learn how to “enhance the independence, productivity, and inclusion of people with autism spectrum disorders.”

The Annual Jackson Easter Parade a Huge SuccessBy Beth DawSon anD Patricia Stallman

As 2015 is the 200th anniversary of the Town of Jackson, the theme for this year’s Easter Parade was “Hoppin’ Through the Decades.”

Leading the parade on April 4 was Parade Marshal Joseph William Brine, whose wife Cynthia M. Beau-vais drove the lead car. The two own and operate the St. Gemme de Beau-vais Bed and Breakfast of Ethel.

Brine, who will celebrate 92 years on his next birthday, moved from Massachusetts to the Felicianas in 2008. Since then, his community involvement has included assisting with the annual Jackson Assembly Antiques and Art Show, the Battle of Jackson Crossroads re-enact-ment, the USO dance, the Reindeer Race, the Spooktacular and the plant sale. He is a major contributor to the Jackson veterans’ memorial project as well as to other local fundraisers. In addition, he serves as a consultant for local historic site tree care.

Jackson Town Councilman and Easter Bunny alter-ego Rafe Stew-art provided prizes for the best floats. The first place award of $75 went to the Jeff Travis float. As part of the Travis entry, Jason Fendlason of Zachary brought up the rear in his 100-year-old Model T. Taking the $50 prize for second place was the Jackson War Veterans Home. In third place and winning $25 was the Jackson United Methodist Church with “Hoppin’ Through the Decades of the Bible.”

Milton Brown, who is 90, con-tributed “Hoppin’ Through the 90s” to represent everyone who is 90 and

beyond. At the other end of the spec-trum, three members of the East Fe-liciana High School basketball team represented “Hoppin’ Through the Teen Years.”

Eighty-six-year-old Wilbert Har-ris contributed his "Hopping thru the 80s" float; John Travis, who rode the Travis float, also represented “Hop-pin' Through the 70s; and First Re-sponder Cheryl Scott was Hoppin' Through the 50s.” School Board

member Melvin Hollins portrayed “Hoppin' Through the 20s.”

Also participating were East Feli-ciana Parish Sheriff Talmadge Bunch and his grandson, Fields Day, wear-ing Easter bonnets and riding in a chartreuse clown car complete with a smiling face to match their own.

Finally, the parade ended with the Empire Riders on horseback.

After the parade, visitors and residents met on the grounds of Cen-tenary State Historic Site for the popular annual Easter Egg Hunt, for which the staff hid 1,000 eggs.

Celebrating Easter by Helping Those in NeedBy Beth DawSon

Three Jackson fourth grade students, with encouragement from their teacher, Brittany Hennigan, collected food and clothing to share with others this Easter season. Brandon Ballard said, “I was happy that I could do a food drive to help people.”

Actually, the three young men did lots more than collect food. Ballard, Howard Davis, and Dondre Weather-spoon collected and then donated five large garbage bags full of clothes to give those who have lost their home or who just need some clothing. They also col-lected four boxes of food for Helping in His Name Food Bank in Jackson. Their donations didn’t stop there; they collect-ed one box of personal items for use at the Human Trafficking Shelter.

What took place to entice three

students were creative and did not limit their suggestions to one category (i.e., only food, or only clothes). Together, we decided that we would host a food, clothing, and toiletries drive to help those in need.

“I then placed the responsibility on the students, and they took charge by collaboratively writing a letter to the stu-dents, parents, and teachers of Jackson Elementary about the items we were col-lecting and the importance of the drive. As I watched the donations pour in, I was impressed with the consideration and creativity our students showed. I am very glad that we as a class were able to help those in need in our community.

“The three student leaders attend Jackson Elementary. We’re so proud of how these three worked together to help so many.”

young men to carry out a project of this kind on their own? Their teacher, Ms. Hennigan, said, “This project was sparked during a classroom discussion about the homeless in our community. I decided to use the discussion as a further

learning experience and challenged the students to come up with ideas about what we could do to help.

“The boys immediately began list-ing items that people could donate to change the lives of those in need. The

Living History Association of Jackson Presents the 24th Annual Battle of Jackson

Crossroads April 24, 25, and 26, 2015By Billy SPeDale

The continuing war for control of the Mississippi River between the Confed-eracy and the Union culminated in the major siege operations at Vicksburg and Port Hudson in the summer of 1863. Be-cause of these campaigns, many smaller actions took place in communities of less strategic value which otherwise may never have directly experienced the sights and sounds of battle.

Two such engagements occurred at Jackson, Louisiana, in 1863 as a result of the Union campaign to take Port Hudson. The first action occurred when a large Federal foraging expedition was mov-ing through the area. Approximately 200 hundred wagons with cavalry and infan-try escort, commanded by Colonel Hal-bert Greenleaf, set forth from the Federal siege lines at Port Hudson on their way to Jackson on the morning of June 20. The soldiers visited plantations and farms along the 12-mile route in search of cot-ton bales to be used in the siege lines.

The wagon train, which stretched over two miles in length, reached the in-tersection where the Jackson-Port Hud-son Road crossed the Jackson-Clinton Road. As the Federal expedition singled out the Keller Plantation just north of the crossroads, Colonel Thomas R. Stock-dale’s Mississippi Cavalry Brigade swept over the column with little warning. The brief fight stampeded the huge wagon train, giving the Confederates ample op-portunity to take 50 wagons, 200 mules,

and 50 prisoners.A second engagement occurred at

Jackson on August 3. A recruiting ex-pedition from Port Hudson, number-ing between 350 and 500 men under the command of Lieutenant Moore Hanham, reached Jackson late in the day on August 2 to recruit African Americans for the Twelfth Corps d’Afrique. The following evening, a force of about 500 Confederate cavalrymen, under the com-mand of Colonel John Logan, struck the Union soldiers drawn up in a battle line on the campus of Centenary College. Af-ter a brief stand, the Federals were routed from the town with the loss of between 80 and 100 men, two field pieces, and numerous supply wagons. Logan stated that he lost only 12 men killed or wound-ed.

Before the Federal forces isolated Port Hudson from the surrounding coun-tryside, Confederate forces used Cente-nary College buildings as a hospital. At one point, a company of the 4th Louisi-ana Regiment, the Lake Providence Ca-dets, commanded by Captain Charles R. Purdy, was stationed in Jackson to guard the town.

Each year the Jackson Living History Association sponsors the Battle of Jack-son Crossroads and tries to make it as historically accurate as possible.

a contention Ms. Davis disputes.Ms. Davis reports that the owner

of the trailer has a new court date of April 14 and that the district attorney has assured her that he expects the owner to be present.

Buttermilk RoadRonnie McCallum, one of a group

of residents from Cooper Lane, which is off of Highway 68, says that the 55 families living on Cooper call it “But-termilk Road,” because, “If you go buy milk, by the time you get home, it’s buttermilk.” Another Cooper Lane resident has lived on Cooper for 64 years, 30 of which she has waited `“to get the road fixed,” residents said.

Still another Cooper Lane repre-sentative called out from the audi-ence, “Thirty years is long enough.” The entire road, he said, is “like a speed bump.”

Parish Manager John “J.R.” Rouchon noted that the last work on Cooper, the bridge, had turned out to be “a long-term temporary fix.”

At one point the State wanted to condemn the bridge, and by last year the east end of the bridge was deter-mined to have deteriorated. Accord-ing to several jurors, a bridge that the parish could have repaired for around $26,000 plus materials was removed and replaced with culverts.

And now the residents are asking that the road itself be addressed be-fore problems multiply.

President Dennis Aucoin said that he believes the road “will be taken care of this year.”

The five municipalities versus the parish

Juror Chris Hall submitted a pro-posal for a resolution that would al-low the five police jurors who have a town in their district to allocate money for both parish and town road work. Those jurors are: Larry Beau-champ, the Town of Clinton; Hall, the Town of Slaughter; Keith Mills, the Town of Jackson; Jason McCray, the Village of Wilson; and Louis Kent, the Village of Norwood. Jurors who have no town in their district are Ed-ward Brooks, Sr., Dwight Hill, Sean Smith and Police Jury President Au-

coin. As matters stand, Hall says, the Police Jury allocates money for work on parish roads but not town roads.

The towns, Hall says, receive very little money per month. “By the time they pay their workers, they’re broke and can’t do the road work.”

While Hall says that the roads in the Town of Slaughter are “worse than any others in (his) district,” sev-eral jurors point out that those “other roads” have recently been resurfaced. Still, Hall says, he’d like to have the option of adding a town road to the

list for road construction, resurfac-ing or repair. Allowing monies to go also to the towns, he says, would be not a requirement but only an option. A juror, for example, could choose to put a town road on the list after parish projects in the area are completed.

“All five mayors are for this 100 percent,” Hall says. “Towns pay just as much taxes as the rest of the par-ish. Our goal as police jurors is to do what’s best for the whole parish.”

Agreeing with Hall was Juror Larry Beauchamp, who represents Clinton. Lori Bell, Clinton’s mayor, has said that as of now, her options to improve town roads include monies from grants or loans.

Towns and villages, however, as government entities, may take action to raise taxes and increase prices for water and gas, as well as add their own property taxes to the parish prop-erty taxes.

Of the five mayors, in addition to Bell, Norwood Mayor Becky Bellue and Slaughter Mayor Robbie Jackson were also present, and Mayor Jackson made a strong case for the Jury’s help with town roads. “The tax is collected in one bucket,” he said. “In order for everyone to be represented, you must distribute it equally.”

Beauchamp added, “If it weren’t for the towns, the parish would col-lect hardly any taxes. This is about what’s fair and not fair. The munici-palities are bringing in the taxes, but the money is divvying out to the rural areas. What’s fair about that?”

Juror Hill countered, “Probably most of that money is spent by people who live outside the municipalities.” Of the co-op in Slaughter, he said, “Probably 80 percent of the money spent at the co-op is spent by people

who live outside the town limits, and many of them live on parish roads, just as I do.”

The sales tax money that the Po-lice Jury collects is divided among the towns by a percentage according to the population of the towns, with Jackson getting the most and Nor-wood the least. The Police Jury gets approximately 66 percent, and the 34 percent that remains is divided among the towns, as around 66 percent of the population lives outside the munici-palities and 34 percent lives inside the municipalities.

The parish, using the current sys-tem of allocation, requires only a five-vote majority to select the roads for work. That system in itself could conceivably lead to unfairness in road selection. Those who question, how-ever, the move from a unit system to what Juror Hill called “a ward system” that allows individual jurors to allo-

cate money to both town and parish roads may well ask: If the money for infrastructure already falls far short of maintaining the parish roads—in-cluding, for example, Cooper Lane—how can the jury further reduce that amount for the parish roads by allo-cating funds to town roads as well?

In addition, some question wheth-er it is wise—or even legal—to allow individual jurors to allocate funds "without further approval" from the Police Jury, which is language that Hall's resolution includes.

The text of the resolution follows:ResolutionWhereas, each municipality lo-

cated in East Feliciana Parish, Loui-siana, is responsible for funding to build, repair and/or support infra-structure within such municipality’s geographical boundaries; and

Whereas, each municipality has a funding shortfall to meet such infra-

structure needs; andWhereas, each municipality is in-

cluded in the district of a member of the East Feliciana Parish Police Jury, that has allocated funds to meet the infrastructure needs of the district; and

Whereas, it is in the best interests of the East Feliciana Parish Police Jury, its individual members and the municipalities represented thereby that each juror have the discretion to allocate funds under the unit sys-tem to fund the building, repair and/or support of infrastructure within his district, including within the boundar-ies of municipalities located therein and with the approval of the munici-pal officials.

It is hereby resolved, that each East Feliciana Parish Police Juror is hereby granted the discretion to al-locate funds under the unit system to the building, support and/or repair of infrastructure within the boundaries of [the} district, including the munici-palities without further approval by

the East Feliciana Parish Police Jury.When Juror Hill asked the jury to

request an opinion on the resolution from the State attorney general, a majority of the group agreed, though District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla, who was present, informed the jury that it could decide on the change in alloca-tion immediately, should it choose to do so. Voting with Hill, however, to send the matter to the attorney general were: Jurors Ed Brooks, Jason Mc-Cray, Keith Mills, Louis Kent, Sean Smith and Dwight Hill.

Planning and Zoning: no booksThe chair of the parish planning

and zoning committee informed the jury that his group still lacks “updated books.’ Five of the seven members have the oldest version of the ordi-nance books, and two have redacted copies. President Aucoin promised updated copies for the planning and zoning group’s next meeting.

Next Police Jury meetingThe date of the next Police Jury

meeting is Tuesday, April 21, at 6 p.m.
