St. Helena Parish Deputy George Baker is seen with his new partner, Gundy, as they prepare to patrol. Baker got the dog last month through the rescue program Universal K9.

Win-win for dogs, law enforcement

ST. FRANCISVILLE — Imagine the experience of traveling deep underground in a coal mine elevator. Or meeting Thomas Edison and hearing him explain how he invented the light bulb. Those are just two of the featured exhibits about the production of energy in the recently unveiled Energy Education Center on the second floor of Entergy’s administrative building at River Bend Nuclear Station. The new center is the result of a collaborative partnership between members of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear chapter at River Bend and the Louisiana Nuclear Society. The new center is in the same space as the old information center. “I saw we had all of this capability right here and we hadn’t done much with

it for a long time,” said Jeff Hausaman, a nuclear reactor engineer with River Bend who spearheaded the education center project. “The resources were here and we weren’t utilizing them.” Since September, Hausaman and a group of volunteers worked during their off time and on weekends to finish the new education center. They have updated many of the old exhibits that were in place, and they’ve added a number of new ones as well. They also modernized the center to make learning about energy and its production appealing to youngsters of all ages. Hausaman said he first came up with the idea after a visit to the LIGO Science Education Center in Livingston Parish. “We wanted to use the resources that were here and äSee CENTER, page 2G

Agency trains shelter dogs to sniff out drugs

Gundy, a rescued blue heeler, is the latest member of the St. Helena Parish Sheriff’s Office. Gundy, who arrived last month at the Sheriff’s Office, will patrol the streets with his new partner, Deputy George Baker.

Purebred drug dogs can cost up to $35,000 once they are trained, but Sheriff Nat Williams said it cost his office $2,900 to put Gundy on duty. Williams said he applied for a grant through the Universal K9 program to purchase the dog. The program rescues dogs from shelters and trains them to sniff out contraband. The dogs are trained to look for marijuana, meth, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy, he said. Once the dogs are trained, they are sold at discounted prices or given to law enforcement agencies.

It’s a win for the dog and a win for small departments like St. Helena Parish that don’t have a lot of money. “The department is grateful for this program. We were able to rescue a dog, utilize him and give him back to the community,” Williams said. Baker attended a two-week training program in San Antonio, Texas, with Gundy before he could bring him back to Greensburg. Training included obedience, leash control and how to handle searching vehicles and buildings. Before that, Gundy went through äSee WIN-WIN, page 2G

Police Jury announces leadership, priorities BY JAMES MINTON

Special to The Advocate CLINTON — East Feliciana Parish Police Juror Dennis Aucoin regained his post as jury president by a 5-4 vote Monday in the jury’s first meeting of the year. Outgoing President Louis Kent took the gavel from Aucoin a year ago by a 5-4 vote, but District 7 Juror Sean Smith was the swing vote in Monday’s

balloting. Smith joined the jury in August as the successor to longtime Juror Karl “Bubba” Chaney, who died in July after a lengthy illness. Chaney had voted for Kent in the January 2014 election, but Smith supported Aucoin on Monday. Aucoin voted for himself and also drew support from Larry Beauchamp, Chris Hall and Ed Brooks. Kent voted for himself and

got support from Dwight Hill, Keith Mills and Jason McCray. Beauchamp, the jury’s vice president, nominated Brooks as his replacement, and Kent was the only juror voting against Brooks. Aucoin named Beauchamp as chairman of the Finance Committee, replacing Hill. He also named himself and Hall as Finance Committee members, but he held off on naming jurors to other committees.

Aucoin said one of his priorities in the coming year will be to secure more federal and state grants. “We’re leaving a lot of money on the table,” Aucoin said, adding that he believes neighboring St. Helena Parish is securing grants that East Feliciana is missing. During 2014, the jury repaved 33 miles of parish roads but only lowered the jury’s cash position by $1 million,

Parish Manager J.R. Rouchon said. The jury also added three pieces of road equipment to its inventory and successfully renewed four taxes that were expiring, he said. On another matter, the jury renewed its insurance coverage on parish buildings, equipment and vehicles for a price of $121,329. A representative of Dart Insurance Agency said the figure is about $900 more than the total premium for 2014.

During weekly nutrition and gardening programs, Langley and Mayer have provided samples of the vegetables to the students. “The radishes were sliced and served with ranch dressing, and it was interesting to see the reactions of the students.

CENTER

Continued from page 1G weren’t being used to revitalize this facility and make it a resource for the community,” Hausaman said. The long-term plan, he says, is to make the education center available for school tours and open house events for the public, like the one held last month celebrating the center’s soft opening with members of the community and local educators. For now, it’s open by appointment for limited tours. The center is divided into two wings, one with an overview and history of power generation, and the other featuring nuclear power and the role of River Bend. Beside the coal mine simulator, which features a mock elevator ride down into the earth, the Energy Education Center offers a history of electricity, complete with an animatronic Thomas Ed-

ison and iPads for interactive learning about power generation. There also are hands-on experiments such as a bicycle that provides electrical power and informational exhibits about fossil fuels, solar and other energy sources. The second wing includes a control room simulator and demonstration exhibits about the role of nuclear energy in power generation. Another section focuses on the future of energy production with new technologies. Hausaman said the center should be completely finished by summer or early fall. Eventually, he hopes to have a website for the center. “It’s a continuing project for us,” Hausaman said. “We’re going to keep adding things and improving things that will explore all the facets of energy production. An integral function of the center will be engagement with the community.”

Baker and his new partner were in the parish a week when they made their first bust assisting the Greensburg Police Department, Baker said. “He did a great job; he alerted every location the drugs were found. I am extremely proud of my partner,” Baker said. Williams said the new K-9 team was an immediate success. Another rescue dog will hit the streets this month, Williams said. St. Helena Parish Deputy Toler Smith left for Texas on Jan. 4 to begin his two-week training with his new partner, a bulldog named Bubba. “The St. Helena Parish Sheriff’s department is committed to taking guns and drugs off of our streets,” Williams said. “Now, our hope is that the new K-9 unit will boost the tally of weapons and potentially dangerous narcotics taken off the streets of St. Helena Parish.”

ST. FRANCISVILLE — Bettsie Norton, West Feliciana Parish economic development director, has announced a free career search training class open to parish residents from 9 a.m. to noon Jan. 16. The class will be at the West Feliciana Parish Library, 5114 Burnett Road, St. Francisville. “We are very excited to offer this program to West Feliciana Parish residents. After learning of the need for job search training at a Coffee With Kevin event Dec. 22, we immediately began working to prepare a class that would teach participants how to maximize their job search activities, gain expert tips from industry professionals and nail a job interview,” Norton said.

The course will be in four parts. First, participants will be provided an overview of the greater Baton Rouge economic and job climate in 2015 and beyond. This information is important as it provides a big-picture perspective of the area’s economy; details the industry sectors forecasted to experience the most growth; and highlight the geographical areas participants might want to target their job search depending upon their skill set/ industry, Norton said. Second, participants will learn the necessary steps required to prepare job search documents — including writing a cover letter, drafting a résumé and creating a list of professional references. An informational packet with samples of each will be provided.

Participants will learn about a variety of methods to find open positions within the greater Baton Rouge area. Online job sites such as Louisiana Job Connection, Baton Rouge Area Chamber’s LIVEcapitalized program, industry associations and organizations, staffing services and other methods will be discussed as potential resources for participants to investigate when conducting their career search, Norton said. Preparation, dress and how to conduct company research for a job interview will be part of the final session. Space is limited to 20 participants and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis by contacting Bettsie Norton at bnorton@wfparish.org or calling (225) 635-3864.

Four begin terms on East Feliciana school board BY JAMES MINTON

Special to The Advocate CLINTON — East Feliciana Parish School Board members, including four newcomers, began four-year terms Tuesday by reelecting their top officers. After East Feliciana Parish Clerk of Court David Dart administered the oaths of office to the 12 members, they re-elected Michael Bradford, of Clinton, without opposition to the presidency. Bradford has served as president for the past four years. Broderick Brooks Sr. made a run at the vice presidency, but he could garner support only from Derald Spears Sr., Melvin

Hollins and Rhonda Matthews. Beth Dawson, Tim Corcoran, Paul Kent, Bradford, Joyce Kent, Richard Terrell and J. Curtis Jelks voted to re-elect Mitch Harrell, of Jackson, as vice president. Bradford said he is keeping the same committee members as in the previous term, except that the four new members will step in for the members they replaced. The president, who won his fifth term on the board in the Dec. 6 runoff, reminded board members that their only goal is educating the parish’s children. “As long as we keep unity, we’ll have no problem,” Bradford said. On another matter, certified public

accountant Tiffani Dorsa, of the Postlethwaite and Netterville accounting firm, presented the company’s audit of the School Board’s finances for the 201314 fiscal year, saying the school system “had a very good year” in boosting its total fund balances by about $1.1 million to a total of $3.3 million. The majority of the operating surplus for the year ending June 30, 2014, came in the general fund, which supports most instructional expenditures. Through a combination of increased revenues and reduced expenditures, the general fund had an operating surplus of nearly $900,000. Board members noted that part of the

revenue increase came from sales taxes generated by oil well exploration in the parish, which is slowing because of a worldwide oil glut. Board financial adviser Tommy LeJeune agreed and said the board is looking at a tight budget this year and an even tighter budget for fiscal year 2016. Dorsa said the audit revealed problems in conducting property inventories, afterthe-fact purchase order approvals, and verifying and documenting students’ eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. Asked what letter grade she would give the school system as a result of the audit, Dorsa hesitated, then replied, “A-plus, from a financial perspective.”

To ensure success, the St. Helena Parish School District has collaborated with Regions Bank and other local organizations to offer parents and guardians the opportunity to participate in free workshops, courses and family educational events. To better serve parents, all these events will be

Area well-represented on all-district teams The 2014 football season has been in the books for more than a month, but the last bit of news about players from the Felicianas-St. Helena region is the volume of players who earned all-district recognition.

East Feliciana’s Kourtlin Bradford scores two points for the Lady Tigers.

The East Feliciana High School girls basketball team hosted Northeast on Friday in an explosive game that nearly went into double overtime. It looked as though the Lady Vikings had the game wrapped up at 46-43 with less than 16 seconds remaining, but East Feliciana’s Kourtlin Bradford stunned with a 3-point shot, bringing the girls into overtime at 46-all. With four minutes added to the scoreboard, the teams battled it out, the Lady Vikings staying within two points of the Lady Tigers. With 34 seconds remaining in overtime, the Lady Tigers led 5655, but that was plenty of time for the Lady Vikings to score. Northeast put two more on the board, leading 57-55, but then a series of mistakes by the Lady Vikings brought the match to a 57-57 tie with 2.7 seconds remaining. A foul by NHS allowed a free throw by the East Feliciana girls and a final score of 58-57.

‘Small’drug awareness group grows

West Feliciana organization works in schools, community since 1984 BY STACY GILL

The West Feliciana Parish Drug and Alcohol Awareness Council in St. Francisville falls under the umbrella of the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office. The council operates on grants, contributions and donations.

sgill@theadvocate.com

In 1983, drugs and illegal drug activity were at a minimum in West Feliciana Parish and not a huge problem for the Sheriff’s Office. “We were a really small department back then, very rural, but drugs were starting to trickle their way through,” said Ivy Cutrer Cutrer, a chief deputy at the time. “We wanted to make kids aware of these drugs and their dangers.” So, in an effort to educate rural children and their families, many who had never been exposed to narcotics, Cutrer founded the West Feliciana Parish Drug & Alcohol Awareness Council in 1984. “It started small but has continued to grow over the years,” Cutrer said. Years ago, Cutrer made an impact at one West Feliciana school when he visited to educate the young students about the dangers of illegal drugs, he said. He recalls spreading various illicit drugs out on a table for identification purposes. Mark Givens, a third-grader at the time, was fascinated by what he saw, remembering Cutrer and the drug council years later. Today, Givens is grown and working for Entergy and recently presented $5,000 to the council in the form of an Entergy Open Grant. Cutrer, the council’s director, and Luanne Vaccaro, council coordinator, accepted the grant Dec. 3. The council falls under the umbrella of the West Feliciana Sheriff’s Office and is supported by a group of volunteers, community partners, school officials and members of law enforcement. Grants like the one from En-

tergy help fund age-appropriate drug and alcohol awareness and education programs, motivational speakers and information offered throughout the year. Along with donations from private and public entities and fundraisers, the council is able to participate in the many activities and events it presents each year, Vaccaro said. Vaccaro works five days a week operating the council’s headquarters on Commerce Street, and other than her salary, which is paid by the Sheriff’s Office, the council is self-funded. Cutrer helps oversee the council at least three days a week, or as needed, with Vaccaro. The two organize, plan and fundraise months in advance. “There is a lot of work that goes into what the council does,” said Vaccaro. Similar in outward appearance to the D.A.R.E. program, the two are different and not affiliated in any way, Vaccaro said. The Drug and Alcohol Refusal Education program is a national, lesson-based program that teaches peer resistance and refusal skills. The WFP Drug & Alcohol Awareness Council’s mission, according to Cutrer and Vaccaro, is to educate and inform children and families in the community about the dangers of drug and alcohol use and the importance of making good choices. The council is involved with many community and parish events by bringing its promotional trailer to St. Francisville’s Sum-

Wilson received the award at the council’s annual luncheon Dec. 3, which honors supporters who have gone above and beyond. mer Fun Day, Kid’s Christmas, Red Ribbon Week for a balloon release, the 4-H Livestock show, SADD clubs at middle and high schools, community health fairs and transition fairs, which assist high schoolers in making the leap to colleges and careers. “The speakers we find are vetted thoroughly. We don’t get just anyone,” says Vaccaro. “We have to make sure these people are

dynamic speakers, motivational in every way and are going to connect with young children and teens. We don’t just pick someone off the internet and that’s that. The speakers we obtain are very, very good.” Vaccaro said a lot goes into securing a council-sponsored speaker — coordinating with school officials, getting the green light from the superintendent, determining if the speaker would do better in smaller classroom settings or larger gym-type assemblies. Some of the speakers charge a fee, while others volunteer their time, Vaccaro said. A highlight each year of both the council’s and students in West Feliciana, are the trips to Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola with Miss Louisiana. “The Miss Louisiana folks love us and love making that trip each year,” said Vaccaro. “Usually, by the time Miss Louisiana visits Angola in late April, she has become a seasoned speaker and relates to the ninth-graders in a very personal way. It’s a casual but intimate setting allowing her to bond with the students in a unique way. They open up, ask her things, and she shares her personal experiences with them. You can tell it’s a success by the tears in their eyes.” Past speakers, other than Miss Louisiana, have included LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux and the Allureds, a husband and wife team who are the creators of Harvey Rabbit and Friends.

“Ivy found them years ago through Young Audiences of Louisiana’s Arts in Education program in New Orleans, and they are totally captivating,” said Vaccaro. “They are a must-see and will be here again Jan. 22.” Providing support are the 20 board members, each with an alternate, and the volunteers from area churches, businesses, law enforcement agencies and prisons. Monthly and quarterly meetings are attended by the board, alternates and the volunteers. “You can’t go wrong by having all those types of people on the board,” said Vaccaro. “We have a lot of great people who support us.” Cutrer and Vaccaro acknowledge the support received from Sheriff J. Austin Daniel. “You couldn’t ask for any better backing than him,” said Cutrer. To show its appreciation, the council hosts a luncheon for its supporters and presents awards to those who have gone above and beyond. Honored this year were SADD President Destiny Wilson, a senior at West Feliciana High School; and Tony Plauche, of the Pointe Coupee Sheriff’s Office, who cooked jambalaya for one of the council’s annual fundraisers. Donations can be sent to: P.O. Box 2233, St. Francisville, LA, 70775.

Chief Dunn and Assistant Police Clerk will be attending Animal School for all the stray dogs in town we will be certified and licensed to house or euthanize the animals. Chief Dunn stated several grants have been written and approved, waiting for the funding. 2. FIRE DEPARTMENT - Mr. Beauchamp Fire Chief gave his report; the fire department had one major fire on Labor Day, Dr. Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. There were 8 to 9 Clinton firemen that happened to be in town due to Labor Day and ended up with 24 firemen from neighboring departments had plenty of water from Silliman and Bank Street hydrant, lots of help and luckily no one was injured. Dr. Anderson had a lot of paper records that were lost completely but he had a computer system that he backed up, his assistant took the tape home every night. If the records or store here at Town Hall and or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stored at all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even better than paper records unless you have a fire proof safe probably damage the disc or whatever you have inside a regular safe, in other words it is important to backup daily and store in several different locations. On the first Saturday in October for Market day the fire department will commit to a Breast Cancer Awareness function usually a Blood drive or a Booth drive for MDA. Also planning on the third Saturday in October a family day for the fire department members and their families to come together and have a fun day, food and jumper house, to have some recognition of new members and older members. The Sales Tax for the parish is coming up the distribution of the percentages for the Towns notice that Jackson gets 14% and Clinton gets 12%. Why is that Sales Tax if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re counting the population of DCI, or some institution are they actually paying Sales Tax and if they are or not, is any of the Sales Tax money going to these institutions for streets, roads or drainage. 3.

The settlement involves compromises by all concerned in order to achieve the goals of improving transportation reliability by removing deteriorated pipe facilities from service and assuring safe, reliable service to customers currently receiving gas delivered by the MIDLA System. Main elements of the settlements were provided to the town in a summary. 2.

PUBLIC NOTICE --TOWN OF ST. FRANCISVILLE WATER SYSTEM The frequency for sampling/monitoring of TTHMs and HAA5 was increased for the first time this year from what the Town had been doing in past years. Thus, the deadline for sample collection was inadvertently missed. For this reason, Part XII of the Louisiana State Sanitary Code requires a notice be given including the following statements: “We are required to monitor your drinking water for disinfection byproducts (total trihalomethanes [TTHM] and haloacetic acids-five [HAA5]) during the peak historical month (July). Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. During the monitoring period of July, 2014, the Town of St Francisville Water System did not monitor, did not complete all monitoring, or did not report the results for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids-five (HAA5), and therefore we cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.

This violation occurred because of the failure to collect the required samples for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids-five (HAA5) from the water system's distribution system. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.” Necessary action has been taken to prevent this violation from recurring, and although the Town forgot to pull the samples in the timeframe required, subsequent samples were taken on 12/05/14 and they showed a favorable result. If you need any additional information concerning this notice, please contact the Town of St. Francisville at 225-635-3688. 5077353-jan 8-1t
