Discussion on the city’scontract with SWEPCOwent behind closed doorsThursday as the MindenCity Council talked aboutways to reduce the cost ofelectricity for its citizens.Even though the council

did not take a vote - asrequired by law - to go intoexecutive session to discussthe issue, Mayor TommyDavis says the end result

could include possible liti-gation.“We want

to take stepsto see whatwe can do toeither modi-fy our con-tract andreduce ourcost and beable to nego-tiate withSWEPCO, orin the long-term, maybe getout of our contract,” he said. The city is in year seven

of a 20-year contract withSWEPCO to provide elec-tricity. Davis says the city ispaying too much and wantsto find a way to reduce thecosts to the citizens of Min-den. The current agreement

replaces the contract set inDecember 2008. It wasrenewed Oct. 15, 2010 andwas renewed again in 2014.The contract is more than100 pages and outlines indetail the services it pro-vides to the city.Davis says no clause in

the contract gives the city anout without causing abreach of contract. “We’re just looking at it,

and we’re having an attor-ney look at it,” he said in aseparate interview following

Waller Petroleum will beasking the Minden CityCouncil at its next meeting togrant an exception to anordinance in order to build anew convenience store with agas station at 102 BroadwayStreet.Mike and Jesse Waller

explained during a city coun-cil workshop Thursday whatthe project will entail andwhy they are seeking theexception from the council.The property contains aboveground and undergroundstorage tanks and they areproposing to replace the cur-rent single wall tanks withstate-of-the-art double wallunderground tanks only.Ordinance 802 prohibits

gasoline or refueling facilitiesfrom placing undergroundstorage tanks within 1,000feet of any public wells. RickBroussard, with publicworks, says there are eightwells in the area.“It’s a standard for the

groundwater protection ordi-nance that’s pretty muchstatewide,” Broussard said ofthe 1,000 feet criterion. “Itseeks to protect the surfaceand anything that will con-taminate a water well.”Mike Waller says legally

they can continue the busi-ness even though they can’texpand it; however, Ordi-nance 802 allows for thereplacement of new equip-ment. “What we’re proposing to

do is reduce those tanks

down to 30,000 gallons,” hesaid. “They’ll be brand newdouble-wall tanks that willhave constant monitoring onthem. It’s a reduction in thesize of equipment, plus muchbetter equipment. Right now,we’re loading big trucksthere, and we’ll be movingthat part of the business toanother area. That’s a greatimprovement.”The current tank size is

100,000 gallons. The proposed idea is to

cater to cars and smallertrucks as well as sell gro-ceries, he said. The property is roughly a

little more than an acre, andthe Wallers hope to breakground in May.The item will be on the

agenda for the Decembermeeting.In other council news,

members discussed amend-ing Ordinance 1008, whichdeals with the sale of adjudi-cated property. Currently,the highest bidder has fivedays to make a deposit on theproperty, and Mayor TommyDavis says if they open bids

on Friday, then that meansthe bidder loses two days. He proposed adding five

“business” days to allow thebidder to make the depositduring business hours at cityhall. The minimum deposit is$500, but if the cost of theproperty is less than $500,the ordinance will also bechanged to allow the bidderto pay the cost of the proper-ty. On the issue of sidewalks,

if approved during the citycouncil meeting, memberswill change their policy onsidewalk repair. Right nowthe city pays up to 50 percentof the cost of repair with theremaining cost falling to thehomeowner or businessowner. If approved, thecouncil will pay up to 50 per-cent of the standard cost for4-foot sidewalks.The Minden Planning

Commission approved a vari-ance for Craig Watson, withImpressions AdvertisingSpecialties, who is seeking toplace a digital billboard atMinden Seafood, located at718 Homer Road. He says the

sign will be 11 by 22 and 35feet tall. The idea is to allowadvertisers to rent space onthe sign, Watson said.Law enforcement will also

have direct access to the signfor Amber alerts through acell phone attached to thesign, if need be.Traffic count on Homer

Road, according to Watson’ssurvey, is 38,000 vehiclesper day.Planning commission

members say they had noopposition from the commu-nity to allow the sign to beerected.The council also discussed

changing the time of thecouncil meetings, but it willstay as is. The next councilmeeting will be at 7 p.m.,Monday, Dec. 7 in councilchambers at Minden CityHall.

an October workshop.“There’s not a definite clausein there for us to get out of it.For them there is, but for usthere’s not.”The city pays in the mil-

lions of dollars each year forelectricity, and he said Octo-ber’s bill was over $1 million.

Figures from the cityshow that in 2014, revenuefrom the sale of electricitywas $17,376,115.31. Pay-ments to SWEPCO for thatyear totaled $11,523,870.39.The year 2013’s revenue was$16,959,172.20 with pay-ments to SWEPCO totaling$10,529,878.47. In 2012,revenue totaled$15,862,588.44 with pay-ments to SWEPCO totaling$9,747,406.24.

However, city clerkMichael Fluhr noted pay-ments to SWEPCO do notrepresent the entire cost ofproviding electricity to itscustomers.A customer’s bill, accord-

ing to the contract, includesthe amount of power andenergy delivered during thepreceding billing period, thedemand and energy chargesfor requirements servicesprovided during the preced-

"He seems disconnected fromreality." That declaration, used todescribe President Obama, did notemanate from Charles Krauthammeror Ted Cruz. No, the words werethose of MSNBC's Joe Scarborough,and they were not refuted by hismostly liberal panel of regulars.

"The only strategy that's workingis the strategy that he tends to dis-miss." That damning analysis camenot from Ralph Peters or JohnMcCain, but from CNN's ChristianeAmanpour.

Even many of President Obama'smost reliable supporters have awak-ened from their seven-year slumber.They can finally recognize that he isa commander-in-chief without astrategy, a president without a clue.The day before the Paris terrorattacks, the president notoriouslyboasted that ISIS had been 'con-tained.' Then, after the attacks, heminimized the carnage as a 'set-back.'

But when the subject turned toaccepting refugees from Syria, Presi-dent Obama finally displayed somereal anger. Not at ISIS or Assad or hisown strategy, which many believe leddirectly to the refugee crisis. Thepresident's palpable ire was directedat Republicans and a few Democratswho are calling for at least a pause inaccepting refugees from Syria.

The GOP, he said derisively, is'scared of widows and orphans.'Truth is, Mr. President, a large swathof the world is scared of radicalIslam, the ideology that dare notspeak its name in your administra-tion. And there isgood reason forthat fear. Just asthe president wasmocking his polit-ical rivals, theIslamists of BokoHaram were busyslaughtering 50innocent civiliansin Nigeria. Manyof the dead werechildren. Thatbloodbath fol-lowed dual sui-cide bombings inLebanon, the bombing of a Russianpassenger jet in Egypt, and of coursethe Paris massacre.

Mr. Obama's opponents are notafraid of widows and orphans butthey are rightfully worried that hisfecklessness has contributed to thegrowing violence. And many people,both at home and around the world,are also fearful of President Obama'suncanny knack for ignoring reality.Earlier this year he said this toMSNBC: 'There is probably less warand violence around the world todaythan there might have been thirty,forty years ago.' The president wenton to assure everyone that 'thingscan get better.'

On that front he is absolutely cor-rect. Things can get better, but notuntil the president has a radicalchange of heart. Let's call it a 'funda-mental transformation,' the kind hevowed to bring to the USA. Thingsmay also improve if the next com-mander-in-chief is someone whocan recognize the reality of the worldas it exists, not the fantasy of what heor she wishes the world to be.

In two weeks President Obamawill be back in his comfort zone, talk-ing about the dire consequences of'climate change' at a massive inter-national environmental junket. If thepast is any indication, he will declare'climate change' to be the biggestthreat facing the world today. Butthis year the conference just happensto be in Paris, whose shell-shockedresidents know better. In fact, any-one to the right of Bernie Sandersunderstands that the biggest threatwe face comes from the terrorists ofradical Islam, not the possibility of aslightly warmer atmosphere.

The subhuman savages of theIslamic State, through their repeatedatrocities, have declared war on theWest. The time has come for theWest to realize we are engaged in afull-scale fight against a determinedand brutal opponent.

The butchers can be defeated, butwe will have to be just as deter-mined, just as brutal. And let's face it,we are in desperate need of a com-mander who can change strategywhen necessary, someone who isstrong and resolute and relentless.

ISIS is not just a jayvee team, farfrom it. And to defeat this malignan-cy, the West requires a leader who isnot just a jayvee quarterback. Thatmay sound harsh; it also happens tobe true.

On October 6, at 12 noon,there was a formal ribbon cut-ting at the newly opened Wel-come Center at the German-town Colony. Secretary ofState Tom Schedler was thereto cut the ribbon. The muse-um is now open Thursday-Saturday 10 am- 3 pm and byappointments for group tours.The new Welcome Center andthe Germantown ColonyMuseum were featured in aprogram by Rick Rowe the fol-lowing week on Channel 3News five times.

The beautiful new Wel-come Center houses morethan 2,000 square feet of a"climate-controlled" desig-nated exhibit gallery to dis-play historical artifacts, areception area, a gift shop,and handicapped-accessiblepublic rest-rooms.

Accord-ing to arecentreport fromthe JeanDoerge,Curator ofthe Ger-mantownColonyState Muse-um, themuseumhas record-ed justunder 500 visitors from April2014 to June 2015. That totalis from the time the construc-tion was completed and hourswere reduced until July 31,2014. Since August of thisyear, when the colonyreturned to normal hours,they have already had 214 vis-itors this year. That is over 700visitors since the colonyreopened and the number ofvisitors should continue toincrease due to free shuttlebuses to Germantown duringFasching Festival on

November 21 and the largenumber of visitors coming fortours scheduled by our officeduring the Holiday Tour ofLights.

The following week, ouroffice hosted a ribbon cuttingwith Lt. Governor Jay Dard-enne on October 14. This rib-bon cutting officially recog-nized the new signageinstalled in Minden compli-menting the locations identi-fied in the Northwest Film

Trail brochure distributed at69 visitor centers throughoutthe state and the ShreveportMunicipal airport.

On Saturday, October 3,our office hosted theLouisiana North Movie Famil-iarization Tour with 7 travelwriters with various publica-tions including Editor forTravelingMom.com, Owner ofMagsOnTheMove.com, awriter for Louisiana Life Mag-azine, Senior Editor for VarietyMagazine out of Los Angeles,CA, Editor of Forum Magazineand City Life Magazine andwriter for the Austin Chroni-cle. Believe me they loved theFilm Trail and new signage inMinden. We have already seenfive great articles published sofar!

In August, our office madesales calls in Dallas and Okla-homa City with representa-tives of the four other citiesthat make up the Holiday Trailof Lights. As a result the groupwas invited to make a presen-tation of our combined areaat an annual Holiday Lunch-eon in Oklahoma City onNovember 5. We had an audi-ence of over 50 Group Leaderswho schedule tour for retire-ment communities, churches,senior citizen clubs, andmore. We definitely had awonderful response andanticipate many tours duringthe Holiday Trail of Light in2016 and 2017.

As previously reported, ouroffice has been making salescalls and participating intrade shows specifically tar-geted at the group tour indus-

try. We have had a remarkableresponse. Here is a list of thetours scheduled for Novemberand December of 2015 andthe beginning of 2016 ouroffice will be hosting.

We're not fans of knee-jerk reac-tions or political grandstanding.

While we acknowledge securityconcerns about possible terroristattacks, Gov. Bobby Jindal's execu-tive order, issued following the ter-rorist attacks in Paris, that seeks toavoid Syrian refugees from reset-tling to Louisiana smacks of both.

Jindal, like many other Republi-can governors, has stepped for-ward to try to block Syrian refugeesfrom moving to the state. Most ofthe other governors' protests havefocused on asking PresidentBarack Obama and other federalofficials to reconsider theirannounced plan of taking in 10,000refugees. Jindal's executive orderdoes not seek to work with the fed-eral government, but rather takes awe'll-do-it-ourselves stand.

But the fact is, legal scholarsnote this isn't a state decision.Refugees don't immigrate to anindividual state, they come to theUnited States. And once they gainadmission, they are free, like anyother person, to travel about thecountry and settle in whateverstate they chose.

The idea of Louisiana or anyother state screening out a groupof people seems ridiculous.Enforcing such a restriction wouldrequire setting up checkpoints atevery entry point to the state tocheck the traveler's documenta-tion. Do we really want everyone tohave to have a passport and bechecked entering and exiting indi-vidual states? Of course not.

We also feel it is wrong toattempt to broadly reject allrefugees simply based on theircountry of origin. By saying wewon't accept any Syrian refugeesout of fear that there are terroristsin their ranks is to imply that allSyrians are terrorists. They aren't.Nor are all Islamists or Muslims orany other religion or nationality.

The sad reality of our moderntimes is that terrorists can comefrom any background. There arepeople born and raised in theUnited States who choose tobecome terrorists. It's not a one-size-fits-all issue.

Rather than playing to voterswith tough talk that he can't reallybackup, Jindal — and the citizensof our state — would be betterserved by focusing on workingwith the federal government toensure proper background screen-ing and vetting processes are fol-lowed regarding all immigrants.That and ensuring state lawenforcement agencies have theproper tools, technology and train-ing to monitor known terroristgroups activities and "chatter" toprevent attacks whenever possible.

It's tempting to give into fearand say we won't accept refugeesfrom a war-torn region. Staking outa pro-citizen safety position —even one that can't really beenforced — can make for a goodsound bite for a politician trying tolook tough to win votes. But that'snot who we are as Americans. Weare a nation built by immigrants.Our Founding Fathers wererefugees seeking a better life. Ourstate shares that background, withAcadians (Cajuns) venturing awayfrom Canada and settling amongthe bayous.

We shouldn't let fear cause us toturn our backs on refugees now.

Webster Tourism report

My sister-in-law, Ava McWhort-er, is an avid sports (any sport) fan,football being one of her favorites. Ihave known the basics of football along time but she has taught memuch more.Since then shewould probablytell you how I nowtruly get into thegame; whooping,hollering andstomping my feetthrough each one.

Although weenjoy watchingfootball together,this football sea-son has been a huge disappoint-ment for us. It seems Ava and myfavorite teams (LSU, the Saints,

Texas U, and the Texas Cowboys)have lost more than they have won.Even when Ava superstitiouslywears her lucky matching shirts ofthe team we are following at thetime has not helped.

The KEEPER recipe I have foryou this week is from Evelyn Bran-don, a writer for the Texas “OrangeCounty/Bridge City Record” weeklynewspaper. Quoting Evelyn:“There is nothing like family foot-ball watching parties or playingarmchair quarterback with friendsand having good old snacks.” Truebut in my opinion, I believe thiswould not only be fitting for foot-ball game gatherings but alsopreparing for any party orfamily/friends occasions.

SPRINGHILL - Afamiliar face stands infront of the North WebsterKnights’ path to theM e r c e d e s - B e n zSuperdome.

The Amite Warriors (6-5) have knocked theKnights out of the Class3A playoffs two consecu-tive seasons, but both ofthose games were playedat Amite.

This year, the Warriorswill make the long trip,while the Knights licktheir chops in anticipation

of redemption.“We’re excited about

the opportunity to playthem,” North Webstercoach John Ware said.“The fans know the sig-nificance of it, as do theplayers. It’s been a goodweek of preparation andour kids know what’sexpected of them.”

The Knights wereforced indoors for theirMonday and Tuesdaypractices, but got to prac-tice outdoors on turf atSouthern ArkansasUniversity on Wednesday.

According to Ware, histeam looks sharp ahead ofthe biggest game of theirseason.

“The kids handled theweather well,” Ware said.“It’s been a good week.”

Amite went on to playin the state championshiplast year after knockingout North Webster in thesemi-finals. Many of thesame players will take the

field this year, and Waresaid the Warriors will be atough out as usual.

“They have a newcoach this year, so theylook a little different,”Ware said. “They havetradition though. They’vebeen to the Dome severaltimes, a lot of those kidshave played in a statechampionship, so theyexpect to win.”

In the previous twomatchups with Amite,North Webster has beensharp defensively, butoffense has been hard tocome by. The Knights willhave to find some offen-sive consistency if theyexpect a different resultthan in years past.

“That’s the one thingwe haven’t done in twoyears against them,” Waresaid. “We’ve played pret-ty good defense, but justcouldn’t move the foot-ball. We’re probablygoing to have to play well

in the passing game again.You have to pick yourspots to go for big plays.They’re big up front andhave good athletes on thefield, so when you get achance to make a play,you have to make it.”

Big plays are some-thing Amite knows well.

“They throw balls up inthe air and let their bigreceivers go make plays,”Ware said. “If we canlimit those plays we havea great shot.”

A win over theWarriors would certainlygive North Webster all theconfidence they wouldneed for a run to theDome.

“We have the opportu-nity to play these guys athome,” Ware said. “To getpast this team and make itto Thanksgiving weekendis very important to us.”

The Knights andWarriors will kickoff at 7p.m. in Springhill. Jenny Clarke/Courtesy Photo

Every cross-countryrunner trains long andhard in a quest of win-ning an individual statechampionship. Everycoach hopes his strate-

gies and workouts willgive his runners anopportunity to achievethis goal. On Monday,at the State 2AChampionships atNSU, Alisa Lander,Eric Greene, and CoachDan Grantham saw thisdream become a realitywith a sweep of theladies and men's titles.

finishing first acrossthe line was like an outof body experience andalso that he plans tocontinue running incollege.

For the secondstraight year, CodyRobinson finished all-state by finishing ninthin the men's race with atime of 16:46.Robinson, a junior, saidhis goal is to win nextyear's title.

industrial zone,” he said,adding S-line is the only soilsample that came back withany detections.S-line is an old line used

during the days of theLouisiana Army AmmunitionPlant.Monitoring stations were

set up at Camp Minden(three locations), the Doylinewater tower, Lakeside Jr./Sr.High School, Minden fair-grounds, the Dixie Inn FireDepartment, Haughton HighSchool and Princeton MiddleSchool. The 17-page report covers

a wealth of informationregarding air and soil sam-ples with charts showing thetime intervals samples weretaken, the different chemi-cals they were testing for inthe air and soil and wherethese samples were taken.Adams also went over

how the data is compiled onthe EPA’s website. They haveuploaded an interactive storymap that shows where sta-tions were set up and the cor-responding information on ascroll board next to the map.Once the M6 destruction

begins, daily and weekly

monitoring results will beuploaded to an infographicon the website to simplify theinformation as it becomesavailable to the public. Asresults come in from ESI,Adams says, it will be turnedover to the Louisiana Mili-tary Department, who willthen turn it over to the EPAfor public dissemination.Health concerns, getting

public health informationregarding cancer statisticsand other questions wereraised during the meeting aswell. Some in attendancesaid they were frustratedwith the speed at which thegovernment was able to getinformation to the publicregarding public health.Delores Blalock, a mem-

ber of the EPA’s CitizensAdvisory Group and CampMinden dialogue committee,says she came away a littledisappointed because CAG issearching for grants to fund apublic health survey, andthey were told the surveythey want to do wouldn’t beworth anything.“We know what needs to

be done, and we have to fig-ure out how to do it fast forno money,” she said, addingthat the grant process takesmore time than they have.As sampling continues

and community members

continue to seek answers,construction at the M6 dis-posal site the contained burnunit continue.Rep. Gene Reynolds post-

ed an update after he says he

received several inquiriesabout the constructionprogress. Officials say in theupdate he received Tuesday,the foundation at Camp Min-den is 90 percent complete

and several units of the pol-lution abatement portion ofthe contained burn unit havebeen delivered to Camp Min-den or are nearby.The combustion chamber

is projected to leave Oklaho-ma around Dec. 1 with theestimated arrival date atCamp Minden of Dec. 23 atthe earliest.

errors were caught monthsafter the raises went intoeffect.Fluhr, who denied a pub-

lic records request for thedocuments in reference tohow much officers had to payback, said in a meeting thatOfficer First Class ChrisHammontree, Officer FirstClass Ben Allen, Officer FirstClass Kenny James and for-mer officers Justin Kempand Bryan King repaid

around $450 each. The sixth officer, Sgt.

Ryan Barnette’s error wasnot caught for three yearsleaving him owing nearly$9,500.He addressed the Minden

City Council at the Novembermeeting, making members ofthe council and public awareof the problem.“In January of 2012, I

received a promotion fromthe position of Officer FirstClass to Sergeant. At thattime, I received a payincrease – which I believedto be the appropriate payincrease for the promotion,”

he said at the meeting.“Three years later, I wasinformed there was an errorin the payroll departmentand I owed the city almost$9,500.”During the meeting, Bar-

nette said Davis informedhim earlier this year that hehad been receiving $100 toomuch in each paycheck sincethe promotion.In an effort to correct the

oversight; he said his month-ly pay was cut by $200 andthe city asked him to payback $75 a month for thenext five years.He told the council he

would not voluntarily allowthe city to deduct money theysay he owes from his pay-check.“You’ll have to sue me and

you will have to use taxpay-ers dollars to do it,” he said atthe time. “You’re going tohave to fight for it.”Fluhr referred all ques-

tions to the law office ofGold, Weems, Bruser, Sues &Rundell in Alexandria in anemail at the time, but Davissays the city is not currentlyretaining the law office forthe matter.Davis said in an interview

Wednesday that Barnette’s

case was still ongoing andwould not know the outcomeuntil the audit is over. A public records request

for current police officers payinformation revealed thatBarnette also received thetwo percent longevity raise ayear early.City policy is for employ-

ees to receive the 2 percenton the fourth year of consec-utive employment. Barnettereceived his on the thirdyear, Fluhr said.To correct the error, he

said the raise was skippedthe following year.Davis said he chose not to

terminate the payroll clerkfollowing the errors sayingeveryone makes mistakes.“There were a lot of mis-

takes made and it has beenaddressed with the payrollclerk,” he said. “If you dis-miss everyone that makes amistake, you soon wouldn’thave any employees.”Fluhr explained that pre-

viously, the two payrollclerks checked each other’swork. To help prevent futureerrors, he will also be check-ing over it.He expects the audit to be

complete by January.
