CANDIDATE STATEMENT

With a commitment to ensuring the safety of East Feliciana families and bringing the best in training, technol-ogy and equipment to the East Feli-ciana Sheriff’s Office, Jeff Travis has announced his candidacy for East Feli-ciana Parish Sheriff.

EXPLOREREXPLORERFeliciana East and West Feliciana Join for Garden Stroll

By Patricia Stallman

In 2015, for the first time, West Feliciana Parish included an East Feliciana garden in its annual Spring Garden Stroll.

The Jackson garden of Connie McMillin tells more than the usual story of spring and rebirth. Unex-pected combinations appear quite comfortably together: Old lunch-boxes attached to a tree like ladder rungs serve as planters. The eye climbs the ladder to find a kind of shadow box that contains a religious icon, a statue of Christ with the heart exposed. Odd combinations seem not odd but comfortable. What is as-tonishing is that none of the objects or combinations of objects is star-tling. Each time one passes a par-ticular installation, one notices an-other detail, like the shoe that rests on the arm of the rocker whose seat serves as a stand for a large planter of neon-purple wildflowers. It is as if unrelated objects have found their proper and true placement together.

One has the feeling that McMil-lin, the Gardener Artist, has put ev-erything to use, even found objects that have no use. Walking through this garden, I remember my grand-father, a scientist, telling me that in this world, nothing is ever lost. Mat-ter may change form, he said, but nothing ever simply stops.

This garden does not exude a heavy message or even a light one. It presents hundreds of knockout roses and azaleas, thousands of bulbs—daffodils, snowdrops, amaryllis, the flyer tells us. Of course, a holy water font attached to the wall of a porch is not without association. Crosses

top many garden pieces, including birdhouse churches. But all of that is part of the mix that also includes animal and bird statuary and Loui-

siana plants and trees and even a clothesline hung with small, per-fectly pressed shirts and trousers.

Rep. Kenny Havard Hosts District 62 Day at the CapitolState Representative Kenny Har-

vard’s district, District 62, includes East and West Feliciana Parishes and part of Zachary. Havard reminds his constituents that when he ran for office—and even before—he cited as a major goal bringing together the people of District 62 as a ma-jor economic development region.

To celebrate all that his district has to offer, Havard decided to bring the Feli-cianas and Zachary to the Capitol at the end of the Legislative session. There, at the Pentagon Barracks, on Tuesday, May 5, elected local officials, educators, busi-nesspeople and their products, restaurants and their cuisine, artists, musicians, his-toric site managers in period costume—everyone came together to showcase 62, to introduce the legislators and their staffs to the generous, talented, industrious, funloving residents of the Felicianas and Zachary.

Havard extends his thanks, he says, to the local Chambers of Commerce, to Di-rector Audrey Faciane of East Feliciana’s Chamber and Director Kerry Everitt of West’s, who organized the participants and the contributors and their offerings.

Everitt also credited the West Feli-ciana Tourist Commission and the Eco-nomic Development Board.

“A special thanks to all of our busi-nesses and local elected officials from the Felicianas and Zachary,” Havard said, “and to all the many volunteers. I look forward to our moving forward and all working together as a region. Together we have a lot to offer. I’m proud to repre-sent such a great district!”

Knowing that naming all who con-tributed to and participated in the event would be impossible, organizers have done their best at least to indicate the number of people who represented the

from local vineyards. Food? Richard Oliveaux of Roadside Bar-B-Q, which serves Havard’s entire district, provided a roast pig complete with potato salad and baked beans.

Rising to the culinary challenge were, from St. Francisville: Nasser Al Dallel of Al Aqaba, St. Francisville’s new Lebanese restaurant, who served hummus and pita; Lori Gore of Audubon’s Café, Fiesty Feta Dip; Kaine and Beth Pace of the Carriage House, Kaine’s White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Chocolate Sauce; Tip and Beth Pace of Feliciana Seafood Market and Deli, Homemade Linked Boudin and Deer Sausage; Robin Marshall of Mag-nolia Café, famous homemade choco-late chip and oatmeal and raisin cookies; Rhonda Sutherland of Que Pasa, South-west Eggrolls and Avocado Ranch Dip-ping Sauce; Jeff Warren of The Bluffs, Bacon Wrapped Chicken Fingers with Sweet Pepper Glaze; and Greg Martinez of The Francis Smokehouse and Deli, Boudin Balls.

From East Feliciana, sharing the Vet-erans Memorial project, was the Jackson Tourism Enhancement Committee.

Wanda Perry of Gentle Hands and Patsy Bueche of Details and Rentals pro-moted their East Feliciana businesses.

From Zachary, adding their beauty to the occasion were newly-crowned Miss Zachary and ZFest for 2015 Katlyn Riles and pre-teen winner Nalon Souleau.

So many contributed that naming each one is truly impossible.

The group that gathered at the Penta-gon Barracks on May 5 demonstrated not only the willingness to join forces to pro-mote Havard’s district but the boundless enthusiasm that promises great fun along the way to increased prosperity.

district at the Capitol, citing educators Hollis Milton, superintendent of schools in West Feliciana, whose students con-tinue to score in the top levels of nearly every measurement they encounter, and Johnny Arceneaux, who is headquar-tered in Jackson and serves as Director of Workforce Development for Baton Rouge Community College. Representa-tives of East Feliciana schools, now wel-coming new Superintendent Carlos Sam, reported proudly the amazingly rapid advancement of their district over the last two and a half years.

West Feliciana Parish President Kevin Couhig brought his Parish Gov-ernment team, as well as Parish Council Chair Heather Howle and Council Mem-bers John Kean and Mel Percy.

Representing the musicians of the

area was the group The Fugitive Poets. Among the mayors were Robbie Jack-son of Slaughter, Lori Bell of Clinton, Billy D’Aquilla of St. Francisville—and David Amrhein of Zachary, along with Zachary Councilmen Tommy Womack and Trae Welch, who contributed pork loin, cookies and cake. East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Talmadge Bunch was on hand, as were the gentlemen of the Great-er Baton Rouge Model Railroad based in Jackson. Among bed and breakfast hosts was Cynthia Beauvais of St. Gemme de Beauvais in Ethel. Clinton’s Stephanie and Sharon Roucon displayed the jew-elry they create and offer for sale at the many area town market days.

The event showcased, for legislators and others at the Capitol, all that West and East Feliciana Parishes and Zachary have to offer their visitors and residents: gracious and funloving people; excellent public education; excellent cuisine and libations; historic tours, events, and buildings of every kind; music, art, drama, sports and just plain relaxation.

pleted this challenge, she asked them to put the toothpaste back into the tube. Of course, this task was impossible – just like deleting something off the internet.

The second group of people affected by your decisions are #BFF – your best friends. As Sanchez pointed out, she was a member of the LSU Field and Track Team that won the National Title. However, they found out several months later that one of the team members tested positive for a substance that was not al-lowed. The whole team was stripped of the title – all because one person made a poor choice. Therefore, when you make a decision (good or bad) think about how that decision could affect your friends and family. You do not want to be the one person to take everything away from your BFFs!

The third group was #COMMUNI-TY. These are all of the people in your community – whether it be your school, your church family, your club or town. As a community, we are proud of our members and we like to support them in their positive endeavors. When someone makes a bad decision, it can impact the

entire community – especially the people looking up to you. The consequences of a bad decision may follow you the rest of your life. Miss Louisiana pointed out that if we are concerned about the people we impact about our decisions (#U, #BFF, and #COMMUNITY), then we do not want to let them down and we certainly

do not want to be poor role models. We want to be able to say #YESTOSUC-CESS for our decisions.

As Sanchez changed her presenta-tion some for youth groups in churches, she would add scriptures that also il-lustrated these points. These scriptures included Ephesians 2:10 and 1 Corinthi-ans 9:24-25.

Miss Louisiana visited all of the pub-lic schools in West Feliciana Parish and presented an age-appropriate message for all of them. She was at the West Feliciana Library on Monday night, at Magnolia Full Gospel Church on Tues-day night, and the St. Francisville Baptist Church on Wednesday night. She also spent the day on Wednesday at Angola State Penitentiary.

Sanchez was a well-spoken ambas-sador for the State of Louisiana while she was in West Feliciana Parish, and many of the students are still talking about her message.

The flyer that Connie McMil-lin’s sister, Faye Talbot, hands to the visitor states with no preamble: “Connie moved from Los Angeles to Jackson. Two weeks after she moved into her house, it exploded and she almost lost her life. She was burned over 52 percent of her body. She bought this home with her in-surance money from the loss of her home.

“We moved here the day Michael Jackson died, 2009.

“This had previously been a busi-ness so the driveway and the entire back yard were gravel.”

McMillin is telling some of the Spring Stroll visitors the story of having survived not only the ex-plosion, but the first hospital, how, during Katrina, she was evacuated from Baton Rouge to the Shreveport hospital that saved her. During that ride, she says, she died. The medics pulled over to the side of the road and resuscitated her. Her sisters re-mained by her side. Every denomi-

nation known to humanity put her on its prayer list.

She moved into her new home and, with the help of her sister and her neighbor, P. H. Price, began work on her garden. There is, how-ever, no drama here. One finds exer-cise in the art of seeing and, as with every garden, work that does not ever end. Every garden is life and death.

Plantings include Confederate roses, wisteria, forsythias, native azaleas and climbing roses.

Trees include live oak, mimosas, October Glory maples, poplar, crape myrtles, Japanese maples, sugar ma-ples, swamp maples, Chinese pista-chios, little gem magnolias, crab ap-ple, weeping willow, fig, citrus and Japanese magnolias.

The flyer ends: “We’re now in the process of developing the back two acres with azaleas, Japanese magnolias, sugar maples, camellias and griffin crape myrtles.

“There’s a bluff behind our property with a nice creek running through it. After a heavy rain there’s three small waterfalls in the creek.”

WFPSO Celebrates National Police Week With “A Night Out With Law Enforcement”

The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Of-fice is joining law enforcement agencies around the country to celebrate National Police Week, May 10-16, 2015. Our Na-tion began formally recognizing this in 1962 when President John F. Kennedy first proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which it occurs as National Police Week.

Ceremonies and celebrations are held in communities across the nation to honor local, state and federal law enforcement of-ficers for their tireless dedication to keep-ing the peace. Every day, brave men and women put on their uniform, pin on their badge and put themselves in harm's way to help bring justice to crime victims, peace to communities that crime has affected, and serve those in need.

“We decided that we wanted to put emphasis on this special week to show our community the positive side of law en-forcement. There’s a lot of negativity sur-rounding our profession nationwide right now, and we want to do all that we can to counteract the negativity,” said Sheriff

J. Austin Daniel. “We have put together wonderful activities to show our commu-nity how much we care.”

Sheriff Daniel said, “The biggest event we have planned, and one we hope the entire community will attend, is our Night Out With Law Enforcement. We want to serve our community and invite everyone to come out for this family friendly event!”

The Night Out With Law Enforcement will take place on Thursday, May 14th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the 4-H Barn at the Sports Park.

“We’ll be cooking, providing entertain-ment, and bringing in our area law enforce-ment agencies. We’ll have tables set up with valuable information for our citizens like how to sign up for alerts, volunteering with the Citizens Corp, and safety informa-tion for children. We’ll have face painting, bounce houses, a photo booth, and door prizes! We will also have a memorial set up to the WFPSO Deputies that we have lost over the years,” said Sheriff Daniel. “Please bring your family and come have dinner with us.”
