Board picks Sam as leader

New superintendent agrees to withdraw from Lafayette search BY JAMES MINTON Advocate photos by HOWARD ARCENEAUX

A realistic crash scene re-enactment, including a ‘dead’ victim on the ground covered with a sheet, was used April 13 in the Sudden Impact mock crash involving West Feliciana Parish first responders and West Feliciana High School students.

‘Sudden Impact’

simulates deadly car crash

BY HOWARD ARCENEAUX Special to The Advocate

After some last-minute improvising due to rain, members of West Feliciana Parish Fire Protection District 1, Hospital Emergency Medical Services and the West Feliciana Sheriff’s and Coroner’s offices and students from West Feliciana High School performed a mock car crash scenario in the football stadium parking lot April 13. The “Sudden Impact” mock crash demonstration is designed to teach the consequences and realities associated with distracted and drunken driving. The presentation included students in the roles of victims and members of the WFHS emergency medical responder class performing duties of first responders. Firefighters, deputies and paramedics participated as if an actual accident had occurred.

Special to The Advocate CLINTON — The East Feliciana Parish School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to offer a contract as superintendent to Carlos J. Sam, an associate superintendent in the East Baton Rouge Parish school system. Sam, also a finalist for superintendent of Lafayette Parish schools, said after the vote that he would withdraw from the scheduled Wednesday night interviews of Lafayette’s finalists. Sam will succeed Henderson Lewis Jr., who resigned last Sam month after being named superintendent of Orleans Parish schools. The vote came after the board interviewed Sam, Patrick D. Jenkins and George Noflin Jr. in sessions open to the public, contrary to what board President Michael Bradford had announced last week. Bradford said Lewis was “a franchise player,” but Sam will be “a game-changer.” Sam, a 26-year veteran of the East Baton Rouge system, is now associate superintendent for support services, but served as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and director of magnet programs. “My dream job has always been to be a superintendent,” Sam said during his interview. “I think I’m a good fit for East Feliciana Parish.” Sam said he believes in stability, which is one reason for his long-time association with East Baton Rouge schools. “If you make me your superintendent, I plan to be here for a long time,” he added. Jenkins began the interview sessions. “Everything I’ve done for the last 24 years in education has prepared me for this job,” Jenkins said, providing examples of his experience in various educational fields and his career as an Army National Guard engineering officer. Jenkins is the operations chief for the Zachary Community School System, in charge of maintenance, construction, athletics, safety, food service and other areas. Noflin, an East Feliciana Parish native, is superintendent of Morehouse Parish schools. He said his board has granted him a contract extension but he has not yet signed it. Noflin said Lewis started East Feliciana on the right path, but the next superintendent must build on his work. He provided specific examples of educational techniques he has used in several school systems, including requiring central office emäSee LEADER, page 3G

Fire departments move to repair radios BY STEPHANIE WARREN

St. Helena

St. Helena Parish fire departments and St. Helena Office of Emergency Preparedness representatives met April 10 with Motorola representative Vaughn Bourgeois at the Police Jury building to discuss the options on replacing the radio equipment that malfunctioned after renovations began last month at the St. Helena Parish

Jail. The equipment malfunction has resulted in emergency dispatchers’ inability to page or contact each individual fire department, said Rita Allen, the director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and North Helena volunteer fire chief. Firefighters have to monitor the radio transmissions for

swarren@theadvocate.com

information on any incidents that are reported to the 911 call center, which is in Amite, and relayed to the sheriff’s dispatch office in Greensburg, she said. Allen said Bourgeois was the representative that worked on the original radio grant 10 years ago, which aided in purchasing the radios and dispatch equipment used by the fire departments. Allen said the group decided to purchase an encoder to help

replace one component of the broken system until funding can be secured to purchase and upgrade the equipment, which notifies the fire departments of an incident. Allen estimated it will cost $500,000 to update the equipment for all fire departments. “The dispatch services that are supplied by the Sheriff’s Office is a vital link in the response of the local volunteer fire departments and, without the

timely dispatch of emergency personnel, incidents would take longer to respond to and control,” Allen said. “That could also affect the rating of each department and the residents’ insurance coverage in the long run.” Allen said the equipment issue will be shortterm, with departments working to make the necessary repairs and upgrades. äSee RADIOS, page 3G

Lemonade Day, a fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business — a lemonade stand — began in Houston in 2007 and has grown from 2,700 kids to 120,000 kids in 31 cities across America and Canada. Lemonade Day Louisiana, a nonprofit launched in 2010 by entrepreneur John Georges, CEO of Georges Enterprises and owner of The Advocate, and Todd Graves, CEO of Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, empowers youth to take ownership of their lives and become productive members of society — the business leaders, social advocates, volunteers and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow, according to louisiana.lemonadeday.org. Georges and Graves both received their first taste of business by operating their own lemonade stands as kids. Each child who registers will receive a backpack with an entrepreneur workbook that teaches the 14 lessons of Lemonade Day, such as creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors and giving back to the community. Along the way, youth acquire skills in goalsetting and problem-solving and gain selfesteem, all critical for future success, the nonprofit said in a news release. At the end of the day, children get to keep all the money they earned and are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some. Gernisha Sylvester, 9, of Clinton, has already registered her lemonade stand. Gernisha’s stand in Clinton will be open from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. May 2 around the Clinton

Courthouse square, 12305 St. Helena St. Sylvester said she plans to spend some of her earnings on a Barbie Dream House, save some for a trip to the beach and share some with her mother. The third-grader’s stand will be selling lemonade, water, brownies, pecan candy, chips and pickles. By participating in Lemonade Day, youth learn about supply and demand; credit, debt, and gross and net income; critical thinking and collaboration; civic responsibility; teamwork; math calculations; and oral and written communication among other lessons, the release said. Youth are urged to get creative in naming and registering their lemonade stands online so that event organizers can send customers their way. In Zachary, Lemonade Day promises to be a sweet, family-oriented event from 11 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. May 2 at the Americana development, off Mount Pleasant Road. Food trucks and inflatables will be featured all day as well as the General Lee, the classic car from “The Dukes of Hazzard.� From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., YelpBR will host pet adoptions.

West Feliciana Parish emergency responders use tools to extricate a trapped victim April 13 during a mock crash scene at West Feliciana High School.

IMPACT

Continued from page 1G In the scenario, a pickup truck with an impaired driver crashed broadside into a car of female students returning home from prom. One passenger was pronounced “dead� at the scene and covered by a sheet, while three others were trapped and eventually extricated from their mangled vehicle with the jaws of life tool and transported to the hospital. As part of the exercise, family members came to the scene, and the pickup driver was arrested and hauled off to jail. Paramedic Chris McBeth

coordinated the role players, realistic makeup and costumes. Members of the WFHS media club filmed the scene so that it could be viewed later by the high school’s student body during an assembly. “We do this right before prom season, and our hope is that seeing the scene firsthand will stick in the students’ minds long after driver safety statistics and lectures have been forgotten,� said West Feliciana Fire Chief James Wood. Wood said this is the second year his department has held the mock crash. “We want to show teens the actual consequences of what it can be and the agencies that would respond on scene.�

Gordan Graham and Adrian Percy from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 2 at Temple Design, 11888 Ferdinand St., St. Francisville. Graham and Percy will have some of their handcrafted instruments on display. “At some point, you can expect an impromptu jam session,� said Lynn Wood, of Arts for All, a nonprofit for actors, artists, writers and musicians in West Feliciana. “Consider it art as an interactive experience.� “I built my first guitar, a Flying V electric solid body, while still in college because I thought it looked cool, and Gibson wasn’t making them anymore,� Percy said. “The Flying V was followed by several dulcimers, a couple of banjos and about 20 years of repairs and modifications before I got the nerve up to attempt building an acoustic (guitar).� After moving to St. Francisville, Percy found himself without a workshop, but connecting with Graham became the inspiration and motivation to collaborate on producing the next five or six instruments. “Gordon is a great friend and mentor in shaping wood to create great sounds.

The instruments he’s touched are the better for it.� Graham and Percy will be displaying four acoustic guitars, three Weisenborn slide guitars, one dulcimer and an upright bass at Rock the Block.

west feliciana Sheriff’s Office plans to crack down on seat belts Advocate staff report The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office is determined to get the message across that seat belts save lives, so beginning Friday, deputies will start cracking down on seat belt violations and issuing citations to anyone caught traveling without a buckled seat belt or transporting unrestrained children, said Erin Foster, West Feliciana Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts have saved nearly 63,000 lives during the five-year period from 2008 to 2012. In 2012, the use of seat belts in vehicles by passengers 5 and older saved an estimated 12,174 lives; the use of child

restraints such as child safety seats and lap or shoulder belts by passengers 4 and younger saved Daniel 284 lives; and an additional 3,031 lives would have been saved if all unrestrained vehicle occupants involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts, according to NHTSA data statistics. In 2013, there were 9,580 unbelted vehicle occupants killed in crashes, the NHTSA data shows. “If there is one thing I could urge motorists of all ages — drivers, passengers, front seat and back seat — to do every time they get into a vehicle,

it’s to buckle up. It is the single most effective way to avoid being killed in a crash,” said Sheriff J. Austin Daniel. “When you ride in a motor vehicle without a seat belt, you are taking a huge risk ... one you can’t afford.” Daniel said there are too many false notions out there about seat belts, and young adults in particular seem to think they are invincible in vehicles. “Unfortunately, they (young adults) are dying at a disproportionate rate because they’re not wearing their seat belts, more men are dying in crashes compared to women because they wear their seat belts less, and truck occupants think they don’t need to wear their seat belts because they believe their

large vehicles will protect them in a crash,” Daniel said. According to more NHTSA statistics and Center for Disease Control and Prevention data: n Of the teens aged 13 to 20 that died in crashes in 2012, about 55 percent were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. n Adults 18 to 34 are less likely to wear seat belts than adults 35 or older. n Men are 10 percent less likely to wear seat belts than women. n Adults who live in rural areas are 10 percent less likely to wear seat belts than adults who live in urban and suburban areas n Sixty-three percent of truck occupants killed in crashes

in 2012 were not buckled up compared with 43 percent of passenger car occupants killed while also not wearing seat belts. “We are determined to help bring these numbers down,” Daniel said. “There are too many people dying on the roads, and many of these deaths could be prevented if people simply took the time to click their seat belts. We will be focusing our efforts during this time, but we will also be handing out tickets year round to those who still haven’t gotten the message.” Daniel urges drivers to ensure that everyone in their vehicle is buckled up before driving. “Don’t just do it to avoid a ticket, do it so you arrive at

your destination safely. Since it’s our job to help protect West Feliciana motorists, we’re taking this campaign very seriously,” Daniel said. “Consider yourself warned. If we catch you not wearing your seat belt on the road, you will get a ticket. No excuses, no warnings. We’re hoping you’ll get the message and buckle up every trip, every time, even after the crackdown period is over. Wearing your seat belt is required by law 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.” Foster said overtime funding for additional patrols during the campaign was made possible through a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

OLOL benefit tourney at Bluffs to host pro golfers

What started as a charity golf event 25 years ago is now the only pro golf tournament in the Greater Baton Rouge area, boasting a total of $125,000 in prize money. The Merrill Lynch Open benefitting Mary Bird Perkins — Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center will be contested over a 7,003-yard, par-72 layout at The Bluffs from April 29 through May 2. The 2014 tournament raised more than $200,000 — all of which directly supported thousands of people throughout Mary Bird’s 18-parish service area, and with a week of activities, tournament organizers aim to surpass that total. In operation since 1994, the Adams Pro Tour partners with local charities and nonprofits to conduct a series of pro golf tournaments in the mid-south region of the U.S. Besides three events in Louisiana, the tour conducts tournaments in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. In addition to raising thousands of dollars for charities, the events provide a way for professional golfers to hone their skills while preparing for life on the PGA Tour. A number of PGA stars like two-time Masters

champion Bubba Watson, Tim Herron, Ryan Palmer, Mark Hensby and J.L. Lewis are graduates of the Adams Tour. The tournament will be similar in format to a PGA Tour event, with 72 holes over four days. The field will be cut to 35 percent of the starting field, including ties, after 36 holes. Amateurs will play in the field and can be included in the cut number. A $20,000 check will go to the professional champion. A number of Louisiana players will be included in this year’s MLO field. Among them are Brandt Garon, of Baton Rouge; Neal Ajubita, of Metairie; Blake Kelley, of Mandeville; Brian Rowell, of Broussard; Travis Wilmore, of Alexandria; and Daniel Keeton, of Shreveport. The schedule of events begins Monday with leisurely practice rounds by the pros. The Coca-Cola Junior Clinic,

sponsored in association with The First Tee and Adams Tour pros, will begin at 4 p.m. April 27 on the driving range at The Bluffs and is open to kids 6 to 16. A players welcome party is slated from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the club house. The Hillar Moore Jr. Memorial Pro-Am will begin Tuesday with two shotgun starts at 8 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. An Adams pro will be placed with each sponsored three-man team to play in an 18-hole “shamble� format. Breakfast and lunch will be available as will food and drinks on the course. The Merrill Lynch Open begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday with double tee starts from the first and 10th tees in morning and afternoon waves. The same schedule

will take place Thursday, and after the final golfer completes his round, the cut will be made for the final 36 holes. Friday’s and Saturday’s rounds begin at 8 a.m. with the same format as the previous two days. On Saturday at 2 p.m., the awards presentation will take place at the scoreboard area near the clubhouse.

Gardens galore in St. Helena

Students from St. Helena College and Career Academy planted a butterfly garden April 7 at St. Helena Arts and Technology Academy. LSU/ SU Agricultural Center agent Ahmad Robertson said a butterfly garden is an easy way to see more butterflies and to help them, since many natural butterfly habitats have been lost to human activities like building homes, roads and farms. Robertson taught the students an easy way to increase the number and variety of butterflies around the school. The students were shown how to grow the plants the caterpillars like to eat and plants that adult butterflies feed on. The students planted warm season plants including begonias and marigolds. Practicing the gardening skills they learned, from left, are Sam Banks, Jermil Myles, Regina Hughes, Jaqualene Singleton, Lameisha Pikes, Frednando Muse, Tridarion Dehon and Ahmad Robertson.

St. Helena College and Career Academy Agriculture teacher Terry Guy and his students developed a landscape and design team to beautify the St. Helena Parish school gardens and flower beds. Each team had a contractor, architect and designer. The gardening curriculum focuses on cultivating skills, stewardship and service through sustainable gardening and healthy living practices. The team planted a spring garden at St. Helena Head Start last month. Assisting with the project, from left, are Tridarion Dehon, Lameisha Pikes, JaQualene Singleton, Regina Hughes, Ahmad Robertson, Frednando Muse, Jermil Myles and Sam Banks.

With encouragement from their teacher, three fourthgraders at Jackson Elementary School recently worked to help others in their community and beyond in a number of ways. Jackson Elementary teacher Brittany Hennigan said Brandon Ballard, Howard Davis and Dondré Weatherspoon collected items throughout the Lenten season to share with the homeless, hungry and those in need. T h e boys did Jackson m o r e Elementary than collect food, however: They donated five large bags of secondhand clothes for those in need in East Feliciana Parish, collected four boxes of food for the Jackson food pantry, Helping in His Name, and gathered a box of personal hygiene items to give to a shelter for human trafficking victims. “The project was sparked during a classroom discussion about the homeless in our community, so I decided to use the discussion as a further learning experience and challenged the students to come up with ideas and ways they could help,” Hennigan said. “These three boys immediately began listing items that could be donated to change the lives of those in need.” Brandon, Howard and Dondré got creative by not limiting their efforts to collecting canned goods and by enlisting the help of their classmates to host a clothes, food and toiletries drive, Hennigan said. “I placed the sole responsibility of the project on their collec-

The boys collaborated in writing a letter to other JES students and teachers as well as to parents, stressing the significance of the drives and listing the items they needed to collect. “I was impressed with the consideration and creativity

shown by these boys and then watched as the donations began pouring in,” Hennigan said. “It was gratifying to see the three of them working together as well as with their classmates in the effort.” “I was happy we could do this to help other people,” Ballard said.

Silliman juniors, seniors carry on daisy chain tradition Advocate staff report The daisy chain ceremony, a long-standing Silliman Institute tradition, is much more than students receiving their class rings; it’s an exchange of the dreams, knowledge and ideals that are part of Silliman Institute’s proud heritage, Katy Hayes, Silliman alumni coordinator, said about the April 8 event. The ceremony is symbolic for the seniors leaving Silliman

and the juniors entering their last year of high school, and the rings symbolize the students’ years of dedication. During the ceremony, as the 40 seniors took their places on the daisy chain, the 49 juniors receiving their rings vowed to seek and understand the meaning of a Silliman class ring while agreeing to uphold the standards and values of the school, Hayes said. Following the ceremony, the seniors carried the chain and

draped it over the century-old well in the courtyard on campus, where it will remain as a reminder to all who pass, that “high school is fleeting and the knowledge gained during this time is a foundation for a lifetime,” Hayes said. The senior class includes Thomas Arnett, Sarah Bordelon, Keifer Bourgeois, Riley Breeden, Keon Brown, Sophie Bruckmeier, Olivia Bryant, Breanna Creel, Trace David, William Edwards, Clayton

Gardner, Trevor Gregoire, Brian Guidry, Jesse Hall, Gavin Hausey, Melanee Hayes, Kayla Hebert, Sarah Hooge, Preslie Hornsby, Caleb Jackson, Cody Johnson, Heather Johnson, Michael Kraemer, Casey Landreneau, Benjamin LeDoux, Thomas Lemings, Weston Longfellow, Brooke May, Miranda McAllister, Mason McKnight, Joseph Milton, Ryan Moore, Danielle Pierce, Heather Soulier, Zachary Sparks, Mackenzie Stanford, Jordan Talley, Darian

Tunstall, Sydney Womack and Madison Worsham. Juniors receiving rings were Anna Armstrong, Ethan Aucoin, Michael Beauchamp, Baleigh Bellue, Dennis Berthelot, Margaret Bishop, John Cook, Christian Courtney, John Crain, Summer Dabadie, Mason D’Aquilla, Sara D’Aquilla, Michael Davidson, Jesse Delatte, William Douglas, Douglass Elkins, Morgan Gardner, Mikayla Gayle, Mark Gill, Devin Gros, David Grueber,
