Bid accepted for project to pave levee Cycle Construction to do job for $297,456

BY AARON E. LOONEY Special to The Advocate

DONALDSONVILLE — After concerns about finding funds to pave an additional area of Mississippi River levee, City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday to accept the low bid for the project. During its final meeting of

2015, the council accepted a bid of $297,456 from Cycle Construction Co. LLC to pave the levee top from Veterans Memorial Boulevard near Crescent Park to Lee Avenue. The city had been $109,000 short to cover the extension, Mayor Leroy Sullivan Sr. said. However, officials found the dollars by allocating funds from revenues recently returned to the city by its Industrial Development Board. The paving extension will not

include lighting or benches, Sullivan has said. The remainder of the project is being funded through dollars received from the state’s Rails and Trails grant program, Sullivan said. The city originally planned to pave the levee near Thibaut Drive, but rising costs and funding setbacks led to the project being reduced. City Attorney Chuck Long said he will present for introduction an ordinance calling

for award of the contract at the council’s Jan. 12 meeting. A public hearing and vote on the matter will take place at the Jan. 26 council meeting. Council members also voted to have the mayor apply for up to $50,000 in Louisiana Community Development Block Grant funds to renovate the Lemann Memorial Center. The funds will help rehabilitate the aging multipurpose building on Clay Street, near Thibaut Drive. Repairs include

Ascension cuts ribbons on projects Advocate staff report Ascension Parish officials have been busy in the last week cutting ribbons as construction and renovation projects come to an end. Outgoing Parish President Tommy Martinez cut the ribbon Dec. 17 at the new $6.9 million governmental complex located on the former site of the East Ascension Hospital in Gonzales. Construction on the governmental complex began in summer 2014 and finished this month. The complex was paid for

with $5 million surplus left in the East Ascension Hospital’s accounts and parish sales taxes that had been held in escrow for an industrial construction rebate but was not used by the applicant. The 33,500-square foot modern building provides a new consolidated home for various departments previously housed in several buildings. Elected officials gathered Advocate staff photo by DAVID J.

SORRENTO — As recently as this summer, the Sorrento Lions Club struggled with dwindling membership, few volunteer projects and had placed its Joseph Street meeting hall up for sale. The community service organization, formed three years before the town was incorporated in 1956, seemed to be fading away. But over the past three months, the Sorrento Lions Club has been infused with younger membership determined to jump-start the organization and bring back the unique fête fundraiser the town was known for — the Boucherie Festival. Once heralded as the “Boucherie Capital of the World,” Sorrento has been without the annual festival since 2011. “We hope to do a smallerscale boucherie this year,” said Lions Club Vice President Heather Templet, 35. “It’s in the works. It’s our goal. We are pretty determined.” The festival — and its tradition of celebrating the area’s Cajun culture and hog dish recipes — is of such significance to the town that candidates running for public office in 2013 were asked at a public debate if they supported bringing the festival back. And, more recently, new signs indicating the town limits were installed with the second “o” in Sorrento featuring a curly pig tail. For more than 25 years, the Sorrento Lions Club hosted the October festival at the Ascension Civic Center off Airline Highway. The annual event featured carnival rides, food and music plus cracklin’ and jambalaya cooking competitions. The festival was reigned over by the year’s Miss Sorrento Boucherie Festival Queen. The event went off without a hitch for many years, postponed only once by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. äSee LIONS, page 3G

Continued from page 2G The upgrades to the 75,000-square-foot building cost $5.2 million, including $1.2 million for a storm-hardened safe room, as well as roof and exterior strengthening and new doors. The 4-H building was paid for with $1.2 million in FEMA recovery funds and another $4.5 million from Gustav-Ike hurricane recovery money through a Community Development Block Grant.

Advice from the Pros! Got a question? INVESTMENTS

chasing “hot” investments Q: Will improve my returns? A:

Investors tend to convince themselves that recent investment performance represents the future. The problem with chasing today's investment options is that by the time you hear about the latest “hot” performers, you may have already missed out on all or most of the opportunity to participate in the price appreciation. Chasing past winners can also lead to overtrading too often increasing the chance you'll buy high and sell low. One potential solution: work with a financial advisor. In fact, some have found that investors who work with a financial advisor tend to hold on to their investments longer and realize better returns than do-it-yourselfers.

Continued from page 1G But, six years later, in 2011, it was canceled because the Lions Club could not find a new location to hold the festival after the event was forced to move from the civic center. The owner of the civic center property, the Ascension Parish School Board, had decided to use the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building as a storage warehouse and distribution center, leaving the festival without a home. The resurrection of the Lions Club and the possibility of a Boucherie Festival revival are two brights spots for a town trying to rebuild from numerous scandals. Voters decided to abolish the police department, and other scandals kept the town in the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to bring a positive vibe to the town,â&#x20AC;? Templet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love Sorrento. We want to do positive things for our senior citizens, for our children and just bring a light to the town. It really is a quaint, nice town.â&#x20AC;? But to reach these goals, Templet said the Lions Club is searching for new members. As founding members of the Lions Club aged, club activities dropped off and membership declined, Templet said. The loss of the Boucherie Festival, the Lions Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere event, might have been the final nail in the coffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once there was no more Boucherie, there was no more income coming in, and people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as interested anymore,â&#x20AC;? Templet said. Today, membership is up from three to 18 people with one founding club member, former state District Judge A.J. Kling, still involved, Templet said. The club is currently renovating its meeting hall to rent out for baby showers, reunions and parties, Templet said. Membership is open to anyone who wants to serve, and Sorrento residency is not required, Templet said, since the club also raises money for statewide organizations including the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation and the Louisiana Lions League for Crippled Children. The Sorrento Lions Club has already volunteered at the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Lighting Ceremony earlier this month by serving food and painting childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces and has solicited funds to buy Christmas presents to distribute at the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior citizen luncheon, Templet said. As for the Boucherie Festival, Templet said the biggest question is whether the festival can fit inside the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new community center on Main Street. Although much smaller than the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous site at the civic center, Templet said, the 3,500-square foot community center is equipped with a kitchen, an outdoor patio and sits on 16 acres that could be used to hold a smaller, one-day festival. The propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and reduced parking, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the one thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to work on logistics-wise,â&#x20AC;? Templet said. The community center, planned by town officials for five years, has been a longtime goal for Mayor Mike Lambert, the Town Council and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous administration.

Coupled with the community centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion and the possibility of the Boucherie Festival returning, the Lions Club Renaissance is a positive trend that can only mean good things for Sorrento, Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people are finally seeing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stabilized our town government. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to feel good about Sorrento.â&#x20AC;? The Sorrento Lions Club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at its meeting hall at 44242 Joseph St. The club will not meet in December because of the Christmas holidays, Templet said.

Ascension proclaims Dec. 7 Gwen LeBlanc Day Advocate staff report In honor of parish Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer Gwen LeBlanc’s 42-year career, Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez proclaimed Dec. 7 as Gwen LeBlanc Day during the parish finance meeting. “Gwen, you’ve always done a wonderful job and we appreciate it, and I just wanted to show this small token of appreciation,” Martinez said.

Grants fund gardens at 13Ascension schools Advocate staff report

Gardens will soon grow in 13 Ascension Parish thanks to a recent grant, school system officials said. PCS Nitrogen, a subsidiary of Potash Corporation of Canada, recently donated $30,000 to the LSU AgCenter and Ascension Public Schools to establish gardens at 13 schools in the parish. They’re hoping to add other schools to the program. Taking part in the garden project are Gonzales Middle School, Central Primary School, Central Middle School, Pecan Grove Primary, Dutchtown Primary, Dutchtown Middle, Galvez Middle School, Oak Grove Primary School, Lakeside Primary School, Spanish Lake Primary, Lowery Elementary, Sorrento Primary and St. Amant Primary. AgCenter fruit and vegetable specialist Kiki Fontenot has worked with several grants of this type and is looking forward to success in Ascension Parish.

“We will use the funds to provide the schools with everything they need to establish their gardens,” Fontenot said. “This will include seed, soil and supplies.” In January, the teachers will attend a series of workshops to prepare for gardening at their schools, Fontenot said. “We will begin with a full-day workshop, where we will teach them about timers, how to build the raised beds, how to use fertilizer. They will be provided with everything they will need to get started,” she said. After about six months, she will visit the schools to evaluate their progress and visit again after the one-year mark. “At that point, they will come back to a half-day workshop, where we will show them how to do fundraisers to make sure the gardens are sustainable,” Fontenot said. Similar programs are being conducted around the state, and two schools in Iberville Parish have expanded their gardens to double their original size,

she said. The donation will provide about $1,300 per school, she said. “So that would utilize about half the funds, which would allow us to add 13 more schools or extend the program for a second year with the 13 schools we have now.” PCS Nitrogen human resources manager Garry Hiebert presented the funds to the LSU AgCenter and the Ascension Public Schools Dec. 2 during a ceremony at Central Middle School. “It’s an opportunity for our company to partner with the AgCenter and Ascension Public Schools to get young children interested in growing their own food and food sustainability in the area,” Hiebert said. “We’re in the fertilizer business, and this is just a good partnering opportunity.” The goal of the program is for children to learn how planting a seed in the ground has the potential for feeding people around the world, he said.

Patrice Pujol, Ascension Public Schools’ superintendent said this project is an good way for students to learn where their food comes from, as well as

how to grow their own food. “It is just so exciting to get that kind of hands-on learning that garden environment provides for our students,” Pujol

said. “We have that perfect intersection of nature and growth with our science curriculum and kids really being engaged in their learning.”

The Coach of the Year award went to Benny Saia, of the Dutchtown Griffins. “I was very proud of this year’s team; they were a fun bunch to coach. I thought that the way this team stuck together through the good times and the bad times is what you look for as a coach,” Saia said. “We will lose 35 seniors who did a great job of providing leadership and leave some big shoes for the next year’s team to fill.” As far as the award is concerned, Saia said it’s always great to be recognized, “but I think any head coach will tell you that they are only as good as their assistant coaches. “I am blessed to have great coaches and great people around me. I would like to thank them for all the hard work they put in day after day,” Saia said. “My hat’s off to Jason Brown, John Talley, Jonathan Walker, Eddie Hahn, Blake Kling, Kent Legendre, Elmo Stienert, Chris Schexnaydre, Dr. Ronnie Harper and Piper Oubre.” DISTRICT 5-5A SECOND-TEAM OFFENSE: quarterback Hayden Mallory, St. Amant; running back Chucky Davis, Dutchtown; tight end Ira Washington, East Ascension; wide receivers Kennan Dunn, East Ascension, Averee York, Dutchtown, and Jacob Cheatwood, St. Amant; center Prentiss Stanley, St. Amant; offensive guards Mylik McWilliams, Dutchtown, and Trevor Fleming, East Ascension; placekicker Parker Fontenot, Catholic High; and punter Cadon Story, Dutchtown.

Preparing for battle

One of the challenges for a small school is having enough folks come out for your team. Ascension Christian Lions coach Tyler Turner faced that problem in spades for this basketball season. But you can hardly tell by his attitude. “With this being my first year, first year at the school and short on numbers of players, what I’d like to accomplish is to help the kids work hard, play together, never give up and constantly compete, day in and day out,” Turner said. Numbers of players are not the only challenge coach Turner and the Lions will face this season as the tallest member of the team is 6 feet. “Man, we have all guards on the team. The only forward we have, if you want to call it that is Jake Antie at 5-5,” Turner said. The Lions have two other players at 6 feet: seniors Paxton Paige and Remi Hayes. Returning starters who will figure in helping the 1-11 Lions improve on the court are Hayes, guard/forward Paige and junior guard Antie. With such a small amount of players, performance on the offensive side of the ball is distributed around with Paige being the most consistent player, averaging 12.8 points per game. On the defensive side of the ball, Antie and 5-foot-6 eighth-grader Derrick Varnado lead the pack of seven. Another young player who will contribute to the effort is freshman Tyler Cambre. Ascension Christian High competes in District 6-1A against Southern Lab, Kentwood, White Castle, St. John, Ascension Catholic and East Iberville. District play will begin with Southern Lab on Tuesday. Ascension Christian is averaging 44 points per game and the Kittens average 58, so this game will be a challenge for the Lions. ACH will travel to Baton Rouge to face the (8-4) Kittens with tipoff slated for 7 p.m.
