Anvil Attachments to host blood drive

East Feliciana drops requirement to 1.5

BY JAMES MINTON

Special to The Advocate

This is the eighth year Anvil Attachments, 261 La. 19, Slaughter, has hosted three blood drives annually for the community.

From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Thursday, Anvil will host its fall-winter blood drive.

Look for United Blood Services’ mobile blood unit parked in front of the Anvil facility.

Everyone is encouraged to donate and help make a difference, as one unit of blood can save up to three lives.

Donors are urged to eat a healthy lunch, drink plenty of water and bring photo identification when donating.

CLINTON — The East Feliciana Parish School Board voted Tuesday to lower the academic requirement for participating in athletics and other extracurricular activities.

The board also raised the amount set aside for paying employees a salary supplement later this month and revealed that an expected bid to buy the 1938 Clinton High School Building fell through Monday.

Superintendent Carlos J. Sam recommended lowering the minimum grade-point average for a student-athlete from 2.0 to 1.5 on a 4.0 scale, which is in line with policies of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association and some surrounding school districts.

The board agreed but also expanded it to include students participating in band or cheerleading.

Bots invade West Feliciana robotics program

BY HOWARD ARCENEAUX Special to The Advocate ST. FRANCISVILLE —

West Feliciana teachers Heather Howle and Justin Davenport are inspiring students with the help of some pretty hightech teaching aids: robots.

And evidently the students are quick learners. West Feliciana High School’s Robotics Club recently placed second at a statewide competition in Bossier City.

Council adopts updated code of ordinances

BY HOWARD ARCENEAUX Special to The Advocate

ST. FRANCISVILLE — The West Feliciana Parish Council agreed to streamline and simplify the parish’s general ordinances into a new modernized code at its Nov. 23 meeting.

Prior to the vote, Parish Council member Lea Williams questioned the need for a vote because, she said, the previous ordinances contained in the code West were already on the books.

She later said she wanted to go Feliciana through the ordinances page by page to see what changes were contained in the revised version.

Legal counsel Mike Hughes said there were no substantive changes in the new code. “All this does is organize these into one code,�

Hughes said.

That didn’t satisfy Williams. “I do not believe we’ve gone through these by every page,� Williams said.

Councilman Mel Percy and parish President Kevin Couhig countered that each council member has had the proposed code since April, and Planning and Zoning had already given its OK to the revisions. “We’ve had ample time to look at the ordinances,� Percy said.

Couhig said it was time to adopt the ordinances and give the people of the parish an updated code. “I know nobody wants to talk about this,â€? WiläSee COUNCIL, page 2G

Continued from page 1G Howle introduced robotics last year for the first time as part of her West Feliciana Middle School STEM elective and her students excelled. It was so popular, in fact, it was offered again this year.

Thanks to a generous $13,000 grant last year from Entergy, Howle was able to buy the first 35 robotics kits from LEGO and the School Board chipped in laptops and software. Her eighth-grade students worked hard learning how to build them and program them to do various tasks. Entergy awarded another $7,000 grant this year to expand the robotics training.

Last spring, they held their first competition in the middle school gym and demonstrated different skills and even had a “Sumo-bot� competition, pitting robots in sumo wrestling matches. Howle plans to hold another Sumo-bot event in the spring. “Last year was the guinea pig year,� said Howle.

She said robotics competitions are popular in north Louisiana. There’s a First LEGO League in the southern part of the state, but it’s expensive to join and compete. Howle found a less-expensive event in Bossier City put on by the Cyber Innovation Center in Shreveport.

Sam said extra measures will be taken to encourage students who are struggling with their grades to participate and raise their academic averages. Any student-athlete with less than a 2.0 average will be required to attend a study hall before going to practice, and coaches will be required to monitor their academic progress, he said.

In addition, students and parents will sign a “contract� requiring a monthly parent-

Entergy supports robotics program

From left, Carl Rich, general manager of plant operations at Entergy’s River Bend station, presents a check for $6,990 to West Feliciana Middle School STEM teacher Heather Howle, head of the robotics program, and West Feliciana Superintendent Hollis Milton during the Recycled Fashion Show Nov. 19 at the high school in St. Francisville.

The grant will be used to fund the purchase of more robotics equipment to support the program at the middle school and high school.

The Regional Autonomous Robotics Competition is a yearlong series of three competitive challenges and attracts schools from across the state.

The first RARC was held Nov. 14 and West Feliciana brought four teams of three students, plus two alternates.

Other RARCs will take place on Feb. 20 and April 30 at the Bossier City Civic Center. “It was a great learning experience and we understand more about it,� said Howle. “Each time the competition changes and it gets a little

teacher conference for student-athletes whose grades are below a 2.0, he said. “We value academics; we value athletics. If you want to be on the team, you have to make the extra effort,� the superintendent said.

No board members or people in the audience spoke against the change.

In an effort to balance the budget this year, the board put $100,000 aside to give employees a “13th check� in December. Last year, the board divided $250,000 among the employees, for an average payment of $800.

The money comes from a property tax dedicated to em-

more difficult. Every year, there’s a theme and all three competitions take place on a mat they provide and the tasks are a part of the theme.�

The mat has a grid and the challenges utilize the grid. For example, one involves a delivery and two more involve retrievals using the robots. “These competitions are a lot of fun and it’s a good starting point for us,� Howle said. “They learn quite a lot of STEM-related material and the whole point is to not make it a scary thing.�

ployee salaries.

Financial adviser Tommy LeJeune said an error “at the state level� led to a duplicate deduction of $85,451 from the property tax revenue for payments to the state retirement systems.

Some of the money has been repaid, but not all of it, LeJeune said.

He recommended increasing the pool of money from $100,000 to $150,000, and the Finance Committee agreed to the recommendation Monday.

Committee member Paul Kent said he perhaps had been too hasty in voting for the $50,000 increase Monday and urged the full board to make

Davenport helped introduce three robotics-based classes at the high school this year along with helping form the Robotics Club as an extracurricular activity. Davenport teaches cyber physics to 12th-graders while Killian Williams teaches ninth-grade cyber literacy and Dennis Dyer teaches 10thgrade cyber science. The Robotics Club attracts its members from the three classes. “They didn’t do it for a grade or anything, they just wanted to compete,� said Davenport, who became adviser to the

Board members discussed paying employees from a $150,000 pot this month and additional money later when an additional $50,000 is returned to the school system. “If we know the money is coming, why hold it?� said board member Derald Spears Sr., and the board then voted unanimously to increase the figure to $200,000. LeJeune had estimated the average check from the $150,000 appropriation would be $550.

On another matter, Kent reported that Pac-Tec Inc., a Clinton manufacturing firm that had asked the board to sell the old, unused high

club when Principal Jim Carroll recruited him. Prior to that, he didn’t have much experience with robotics.

He said the club has 10 to 15 members from freshmen to seniors. Three students went to the RARC event in Bossier City — two freshmen and a sophomore. “This was the startup year, we planned to start off small in scope and we weren’t expecting to get second place,� Davenport said. “The kids were really excited.�

There were 24 high school teams from around the state and the event attracted a total of 220 teams including elementary and middle school.

The competitions seem simple, but they require a number of skills and understanding like computer programming and complex problem-solving. For the first competition, the robots were required to navigate a map on a mat, following a line and pick up binder clips. “They whole point is it has to be autonomous,� Davenport said. “We’re ready for the next set of rules and to start getting ready for the next competition.

Our goal is to be grand champion.�

Howle and Davenport want to see the West Feliciana robotics teams continue to compete in various events, but it costs money. They would like to attract sponsors to help underwrite the expenses.

Hughes added, “This puts them in one place to go and look at it ‌ getting it organized.â€?

Councilman Ricky Lambert said he is comfortable with the updated code and passing it would give the council a baseline for ordinances moving forward.

Voting to adopt the code were council members Percy, Lambert, John Kean, Heather Howle and Melvin Young. Voting against were Williams and Otis Wilson.

Smoke damage can be seen near the roof of this home at 8843 Flower Hill Road in West Feliciana Parish, after a fire damaged the interior Nov. 20. An electrical short in the bedroom is believed to have caused the fire, West Feliciana Fire Protection District 1 Chief James Wood said. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Fire damages home on Flower Hill Road Advocate staff report Firefighters responded to a call about 10:15 p.m. Nov. 20 of a house fire in progress at 8843 Flower Hill Road off La. 66.

West Feliciana Parish Fire Protection District 1 responded within minutes, along with fire trucks from Elm Park, Hardwood, Solitude and Weyanoke, Fire Chief James Wood said.

Though the blaze was extinguished quickly, firefighters remained on scene for more than an hour putting out â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot spotsâ&#x20AC;? and picking up equipment.

Wood said the owners of the house were returning home when they discovered the fire and called 911.

The home suffered structural damage estimated at more than $60,000 and its contents have been considered a total loss, Wood said.

The American Red Cross has provided assistance to the family, he said.

According to the preliminary investigation, the blaze was started by an electrical short in a bedroom.

However, a final report on the exact cause of the fire is expected in coming weeks, Wood said.

West Felicianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunter Smith (42) and teammate Derrick Turner (8) work to strip the ball away from Iowa on Nov. 27, helping the Saints clinch the victory and advance to the semifinals Friday where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face top-seeded Lutcher.

Saints advance to face Lutcher

West Felicianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football squad has advanced to the Class 3A semifinals for the third time since 2010 and will travel to face top-seeded Lutcher at 7 p.m. Friday.

The Saints, seeded 13th, are coming off a nail-biter, a 20-14 triumph over Iowa that was decided with less than a minute remaining. With Iowa inside its 1-yard line facing a second and goal, linebacker Hunter Smith stood up running back Joseph Figueroa while Derrick Turner took the football away and preserved the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a way to pull it out at the end,â&#x20AC;? said Saints coach Robb Odom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lived to play another week. At this time of year, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that matters.â&#x20AC;?

West Feliciana has been steady in the playoffs, reeling off victories over No. 20 Jennings (62-38) and No. 4 Patterson (44-19) before last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triumph over No. 21 Iowa. The Saints are 9-4 and have won eight of their last nine games

with Turner quarterbacking a run-oriented offense, and Smith anchoring the defense.

The Lutcher Bulldogs are in their first year in Class 3A after dropping from 4A. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good move. In recent playoff history, their best showing is a trip to the semifinals in 2011, where they lost 20-7 to Edna Karr.

This year, the Bulldogs are 12-1 and have rolled off 10 straight wins since losing to Class 5A St. Amant 21-20 in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third week. They have won all seven games at home this season and were the champions of District 10-3A. Coach Tim Detillierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team

is similar to West Feliciana. It relies on a solid defense that has allowed an average of 12.8 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have averaged 39.1 points. They opened the playoffs with a 34-8 win over No. 32 Avoyelles, followed by a 44-6 victory over No. 16 Wossman and last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-8 decision over No. 9 Kaplan.

The Bulldogs are led by quarterback Jontre Kirklin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There used to be a time when going to the playoffs was enough,â&#x20AC;? said Odom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, people are disappointed if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win playoff games. Those expectations arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing.â&#x20AC;?

East Felicianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ends

The Tigers came up short in their quarterfinal matchup at No. 2-seeded Kinder 44-6.

Coach Cedric Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Feliciana Tigers finished the year at 8-5 and advanced to the quarterfinals for the second straight season.

Kinder limited East Feliciana to 39 yards rushing, and

West Feliciana fan Brian Rabalais cheers on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Friday against Iowa. The Saints won, advancing to the semifinals for the second straight year. the Tigers managed 36 offensive plays as Kinder dominated the clock with a runoriented offense that relied on sustained drives.

After falling behind 27-0, East Feliciana scored on the first possession of the second half with quarterback Carven Young hitting wideout Geâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Montae Franklin with a 31yard touchdown pass.

The Tigers have enjoyed plenty of playoff success since 2010. Besides the two straight quarterfinal appearances, they made it to the semifinals twice, the regional round once and one first-round appearance.

In addition, the permit issuing authority may require temporary turnarounds to be constructed at the end of such streets pending their extension when such turnarounds appear necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic or accommodate emergency vehicles, Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subsection, no temporary dead-end street in excess of 1,000 feet may be created unless no other practicable alternative is available.

E. Street Rights-of-Way 1. Street rights-of-way are designed and developed to serve several functions: (1) to carry motor vehicle traffic, and in some cases, allow onstreet parking; (2) to provide a safe and convenient passageway for pedestrian traffic; and (3) to serve as an important link in the Town’s drainage system. In order to fulfill these objectives, all public streets shall be constructed to meet either the standards set forth in Table 11.

2. Widths and grades shall conform to the following minimum requirements outlined in Table 11: Minimum grades shown apply to curb and gutter sections only additional right-of-way, if necessary, to meet the minimum street width requirements set forth herein.

1. At least the minimum right-of-way width shall be dedicated where the subdivision is on both sides of an existing street.

2. When the subdivision is located on only one side of an existing street, one-half of the required width, measures from the centerline of the rightof-way, shall be dedicated. However, the owner or owners of such property shall not be forced to dedicate from their land more than one-half of the required rights-of-way width.

F. Sidewalks 1. The sidewalks required by this Section shall be at least four (4) feet in width and constructed according to the specifications set forth by the Town except that the Building Official may permit the installation of walkways constructed with other suitable materials when it concludes that: a) Such walkways would serve the residents of the development as adequately as concrete sidewalks; and b) Such walkways would be more environmentally desirable or more in keeping with the overall design of the development.

2. Whenever the Building Official finds that a means of pedestrian access is necessary from the subdivision to schools, parks, playgrounds, or other roads or facilities and that such access is not conveniently provided by sidewalks adjacent to the streets, the Petitioner may be required to reserve an unobstructed easement of at least ten feet in width to provide such access.

3. The establishment of sidewalks along streets shall be determined on a case by case basis by an evaluation of relevant criteria such as, but not limited to, the nature of the area, location of existing sidewalks, need

to serve the general public, and proximity of community facilities such as schools, recreation areas, parks and daycare facilities. As a part of review and evaluation by the Town of St. Francisville a recommendation shall be forwarded to the Planning Commission concerning the provision of sidewalks on either/or both of the sides of any proposed streets.

Bioswales – Vegetated swales planted with native plants or ornamental grasses. They transport water, allow some to infiltrate, and can be designed as a landscape feature. Bioswales are not grassed but are planted with a variety of wetland plant species that flower, fruit, and have ornamental qualities 2. Grassed Swales – Designed conveyance devices used to transport water over the surface of the ground to a point of disposal that may be a catch basin, ditch, water body, or a stormwater BMP that will filter, infiltrate, evaporate, and clean the water of TSS, solid waste, and other pollutants. Swales are often appropriate along property lines, public streets, and around buildings.

Constructed and/or Preserved Wetlands – Constructed wetlands, such as wet ponds, are commonly used on large development projects such as golf courses, shopping centers, business parks and industrial sites. These wetlands shall be designed as part of an integrated drainage system, built around lakes and ponds that may include detention areas, retention areas, irrigation ponds, or low-lying areas that collect and store stormwater.

4. Detention/Retention Basins – Wet retention basins are constructed, naturalistic ponds with a permanent or seasonal pool of water (also called a “wet pool” or “dead storage”). Dry extended detention (ED) basins are basins whose outlets have been designed to drain from a full condition within thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) hours to allow sediment particles and associated pollutants to settle and be removed.

5. Habitat Preservation and Protection Areas – Large tree protection areas in which a complete habitat of plants, soils, water regimes, animal life, and nutrients work together to produce clean air, pure water, rich soils, and a population of animal life living and growing off of the biological productivity and diversity.

6. Permeable Pavers, Porous Surfaces, Grass Paving, Structural Soils – Porous paving reduces site runoff and allows the infiltration of stormwater. Structural soils are designed to bear the weight of heavy construction such as parking lots, terraces, and courtyard, but also provide void space for tree roots and stormwater infiltration.

No trees shall be removed from any subdivision nor the grade of the land within the subdivision be altered until approval of a preliminary or final plat has been granted. If certain trees on the plat are to be retained, they shall be preserved and the area of land within their drip lines shall be protected against any change of grade.

B. Public Use and Open Space 1. The Petitioner of each major subdivision for residential or commercial development shall dedicate a portion of such land, in accordance with this Section, for a public park, greenway, recreation and/or open space site to serve the natural and recreational needs of the subdivision or development.

C. Amount of Land to be Dedicated 1. Each new Major Subdivision shall be required to include a minimum of five (5) percent of the net land area of the subdivision (the total acreage excluding land in existing and proposed street right of ways) as an open space contribution.

2. The Planning Commission may allow the Petitioner to provide one (1) acre of created wetlands habitat in lieu of one and one-quarter (1.25) acres of otherwise required open space, provided such created wetlands constitute less than 20% of the total required area.

D. Nature of Land to be Dedicated 1. Except as otherwise required by the Planning Commission at the time of Preliminary Plat approval, all dedications of land shall meet the following criteria: 2. The dedicated land shall form a single parcel of land, except where the Planning Commission determines that two (2) or more parcels would be in the best interest of the public. In such cases, the Planning Commission may require that such parcels be connected by a greenway or other form of pedestrian access.

3. At least one-half (1/2) of the total land dedicated shall be located outside areas of special flood hazard areas as determined by FEMA, lakes or other water bodies and areas with slopes greater than five percent (5%), and at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total land dedicated shall be located outside of wetlands subject to Federal or State regulatory jurisdiction. Lakes, ponds, creeks, or other water bodies, and wetlands may be dedicated only if a sufficient amount of abutting land, as determined by the Planning Commission, is dedicated as a public recreation area or park or if such area constitutes a necessary part of the drainage control system.

Upon receipt of the Preliminary Plat the Town Engineer shall submit any and all recommendations concerning the land to be dedicated to the Planning Commission.

Section 5.16. Impact Fees A. Impact fees are payments required by local governments of new development for the purpose of providing new or expanded public capital facilities required to serve that development. The fees typically require cash payments in advance of the completion of development, are based on a methodology and calculation derived from the cost of the facility and the nature and size of the development, and are used to finance improvements offsite of, but to the benefit of the development.

B. Using impact fees allows the municipality to shift more of the costs of financing public facilities from the general taxpayer to the beneficiaries of those new facilities. As a general matter, impact fees are capitalized into land values, and thus represent an exaction on the incremental value of the land attributable to the higher and better use made possible by the new public facilities.

C. Impact fees can be an effective tool for ensuring adequate infrastructure to accommodate growth where and when it is anticipated. It is important that communities rely on zoning and other land use regulations, consistent with a comprehensive plan, to influence patterns of growth and to more accurately predict new infrastructure needs. While these subdivision regulations do not provide the legal basis for implementing impact fees in the Town of St. Francisville, it does outline standards by which the Town can equitably and efficiently execute such payments.

D. Impact Fee Standards 1. The impact fee is rationally linked (the “rational nexus”) to the impact created by the new development and the demonstrated need for related capital improvements pursuant to the Town of St. Francisville capital improvement plan and program.

2. Some benefit must accrue to the development as a result of the payment of a fee.

3. The amount of the fee is a proportionate fair share of the costs of the improvements made necessary by the development and do not exceed the cost of the improvements. Additionally, credits will be given for outside funding sources (such as federal and state grants, developer initiated improvements for impacts related to new development, etc.) and local tax payments which assist in funding the proposed capital improvement.

4. The fee is not imposed to address existing deficiencies except where they are exacerbated by the new development, including but not limited to: schools, fire stations, roads, drainage, public recreation, traffic improvements, etc.

5. The funds received are segregated from the general fund and used solely for the purposes for which the fee is established.

6. The fees collected will be encumbered or expended within a reasonable timeframe to ensure that needed improvements are implemented.

7. The fee assessed does not exceed the cost of the improvements, and the fee will not be used to cover normal operation and maintenance or personnel costs, but will be used for capital improvements, or under some linkage programs, affordable housing, job training, child care, etc.

8. The fee established for specific capital improvements and the capital improvements plan will be reviewed at least once every three (3) years to determine whether an adjustment is required.

9. The town will permit refunds for projects that are not constructed, since no impact will have manifested.

10. Impact fee payments shall be made as a condition of approval of the subdivision or development, in accordance with other development fees required by these regulations and the Town of St. Francisville.
