School Board

Zachary system praised in audit BY OLIVIA MCCLURE Special to The Advocate

The Zachary Community School District wrapped up 2015 with a clean audit presented Tuesday during the School Board’s final meeting of the year. No instances of noncompliance with state or federal laws were found, said Mike Schexnayder, of accounting firm Postlethwaite and Netterville. The district brought in $52 million in revenue and had $50 million in operating expenses. “It’s a very good audit,� Schexnayder said. “Your financial policies and procedures are sound.� Superintendent Scott Devillier said the past three years have been financially difficult for the district, but his team has worked hard to do more with less, such as working to keep insurance premiums as low as possible. The board also recognized the school district’s business manager, Gordon Robertson, who’s held that position since 2002 and is retiring in January. Robertson was one of the first employees the district hired after its creation. “He’s been that rock for us for so many years,� Devillier said. Robertson’s replacement is John Musso, who started working in the district office earlier this month. The board recognized several students for their accomplishments this semester, which ends on Friday. Board members heard from Melissa Brumbaugh, the sponsor of Zachary High School’s FFA club, which recently placed 26th in a recent national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. Four students — Hannah Kimbrell, Phillip Howell, Tucker Ryan and Samantha Bankston — competed in the floriculture career development event where they had to identify about 120 plants, make corsages and flower arrangements and complete an interview. The board also recognized Northwestern Middle School eighth-grader Avery Babin, who won the district’s annual contest for the design of its Christmas card. The board’s next scheduled meeting is Jan. 19.

Accomplishments, good deeds shouted out There are several “shoutoutsâ€? that are overdue but most deserving. First: way to go, Broncos! You made history over the weekend and claimed a title that was yours for the taking. Kudos to the football players, coaching staff, trainers, the spirit groups and band for keeping that Bronco spirit alive. It really is a great day to be a Bronco. Another shout-out goes to the kindergartners at NorthAdvocate staff photo by SCOTT THRELKELD western Elementary School.

Singer, songwriter, actress Megan Miller, of Ethel, has been filming on ABC’s ‘Nashville’ and just released her first EP titled ‘Aspire.’

Megan Miller

‘aspires’ BY STACY GILL

sgill@theadvocate.com Megan Miller, 25, hasn’t missed a beat since her “American Idol� audition on crutches three years ago. The Ethel native says being cut from the 2012 and 2013 seasons of “American Idol� was difficult, but she realizes receiving a golden ticket twice and making it to the Hollywood rounds in California is no small feat and something many aspiring singers only dream about. “I worked so hard to get there and then to be cut so soon — it was very hard,� Miller said. Continuing her dreams and aspirations of becoming a successful, full-time recording artist have never left Miller, who moved to Nashville after graduating LSU in May. A city full of aspiring recording artists and musicians like Miller, the kinesiology major and beauty pageant queen knows that to succeed in the business, one must never give up. “Singing is my passion. It’s my dream, and I won’t quit until I succeed,� said Miller, who appears to be doing just that. The past few months, she’s been filming as a six-episode member of Juliette’s entourage on ABC’s “Nashville.� Her day job includes working at a public relations and political consulting firm, and she recently completed her first summer tour. “I traveled throughout the southeast and northeast, from Louisiana and Florida all the way up to New York,� Miller said. “Upon returning, I competed in the Miss Tennessee USA pageant as Miss Brentwood, where I was named a semifinalist. Since then, I’ve been enjoying carbohydrates and booking shows in town.� Also, on Dec. 11, Miller released her first EP, aptly titled, “Aspire.� “I chose that title because of its literal definition — to direct one’s hopes or ambitions toward achieving something — and how it relates to

my goal this past year, which was to finally have my own music,� Miller said. The EP contains four tracks produced and mixed by Travis Ball. Miller co-wrote two of the songs: “Trigger� with Heather Batchelor and “Only One� with Vanessa Olivarez, Karl Rybacki and Elizabeth Elkins. “Only One� is Miller’s favorite song on the EP because, she said, it’s about her own personal experience of breaking up from a toxic relationship. “I wanted to write a song that would make me feel better. It’s about caring for someone who is so bad for you but realizing love is not enough,� Miller admitted. “I wanted to write this to inspire people into realizing like I did: You are all you need to make yourself truly happy.� The other tracks are the stuff that good country and rock ’n’ roll songs are made of: love, heartache, redemption and going home. On “Guessed Wrong� by Lena Stone, Taylor Watson and Rybacki, the song is about the misconception of the person you are falling for. “Eyes Closed� by Vanessa Bransan and Rybacki is about someone who is appreciative of the big city and all that it offers, yet never forgets the small town where she is from. “This song is a reminder to those back home that I will never forget my roots and everyone who has helped me get to where I am today,� Miller. The lyrics, ‘I never really left, always gonna know how to get back home with my eyes closed’ are very much me.� Miller frequently returns to East Feliciana Parish to visit her parents, John and Donna Miller. In fact, on Wednesday, she’ll be in Baton Rouge performing from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. at Uncle Earl’s in Baton Rouge, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 24, Miller will sign autographs and copies of her new EP at T&T’s Liquor and Lounge, 6565 La. 19, Zachary. “Aspire� is available digitally everywhere, including Amazon, iTunes and Spotify.

Despite very un-Christmaslike weather, Zachary’s Christmas in the Village event was well-attended Friday, organizers said. A few small, barely noticeable hiccups were not enough to dampen the spirits of parents, who waited in long lines to have their children photographed with Santa Claus and “Frozen� characters. Amrhein lit the town’s new 28-foot LED Christmas tree, which shone brightly throughout the night as children played and held snowball fights in the 5 tons of snow brought in by event organizers. Numerous arts and craft booths kept many of the adults busy shopping for Christmas gifts, and on the BREC stage, musical performances by local children’s choirs, singers, dance troops and more entertained the crowds, which numbered in the thousands, organiz-

ers estimated. Zachary singer-songwriter Michelle Willis, 14, performed “Let It Go� and was followed by kindergartners from Northwest Elementary School who played bells under the direction of Lola Hill. Hill uses a variety of instruments in her lessons, as well as flash cards, which students identify so they know when to shake the bells to the corresponding colors and music. The students performed Christmas classics such as “Let There be Peace on Earth� and “Silver Bells.� Zachary Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kate MacArthur and Director Heather Prejean invited Amrhein to draw the winning names for the Shop Local campaign. Gift cards redeemable to participating merchants were awarded to three winners: Trey Gaspard, $500; Candy Thornton, $300 ; and Julie McLin, $150.

Through a partnership between the Main Street Baker Pilot Club, Pilot International and BREC, a playground, of sorts, for seniors in East Baton Rouge Parish has been installed at BREC’s Greenwood Community Park in Baker. The Xccent Motion Wellness System — the first of its kind in Louisiana — is considered a breakthrough product in the senior fitness and rehabilitation industry, according to BREC officials.

Zachary School District to partner with SafePlans The Zachary Community School District is enhancing its all-hazards emergency preparedness program by implementing a multi-year project that will update emergency plans and implement SafePlans, a national homeland security consulting firm that specializes in providing the technology, tools and training needed to prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from incidents that impact daily operations, a news release said. SafePlans integrates emergency management and homeland security best practices to safeguard people and places by using proven strategies, innovative thinking and the latest in technologies, district officials said. “The safety and security of our schools has always been a top priority,� School Board President Hubie Owen said. “This will build upon our existing programs and provide our district employees and public safety partners with technology that can help make our schools even safer and more prepared.� The Safer Schools Program leverages the SafePlans Emergency Response Information Portal, a secure emergency preparedness application designated by the U.S. Department

of Homeland Security as qualified anti-terrorism technology. With the program, the Zachary School District’s updated emergency plans will be available to authorized personnel in multiple user-friendly formats. Security assessments, online emergency response training for staff and the secure sharing of pertinent information with local public safety agencies are critical components of the program, district officials said. Using his experience as a Louisiana state trooper and SWAT team member, Brad Spicer, president of SafePlans and creator of SAFE, developed

ERIP with an emphasis on practical application. “ERIP was developed as a tool that helps protect good people from bad things. Our mission is to help,� Spicer said. Superintendent Scott Devillier said safety is always a top priority of the Zachary school system. “SafePlans is a tool that will allow us to be proactive. The experience that comes with this program is very valuable in helping us to work with our first responders in keeping our students and employees safe,� Devillier said. “We understand that safe and secure schools are

a product of effective planning, training and collaboration with local public safety agencies, and we’re committed to providing the resources and expertise to help make our schools safe and secure.�

State champions!

Advocate staff photos by SCOTT THRELKELD

The Zachary Broncos celebrate winning their first state championship title in football on Dec. 12 inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Broncos defeated the John Ehret Patriots 46-12.

Broncos complete magical season If pictures are worth a thousand words, then the image on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome’s big screen on Saturday was worth a million. The camera focused on Zachary coach David Brewerton as he walked the Broncos’ sideline toward the end of the Class 5A nonselect state championship football game. A broad smile dominated his face because the second-year Zachary High coach knew victory was in hand. This group of Broncos accomplished what no other football squad has done in the school’s history: They won their first state title on arguably the biggest stage in Louisiana prep football. The game was as complete as the Broncos had played all year. Zachary forced three turnovers and capitalized with scores after each, breaking open a 13-12 halftime lead and steamrolling John Ehret, the No. 9 seed. “God, I love this football team,” Brewerton said in the postgame news conference. “When I walked into the locker room at halftime … just the look on their faces was beautiful. They asked me all day long why I was so calm. It was because I knew what we had in our locker room. I knew these kids weren’t going to lose tonight.” There were so many highlights this season: n The Broncos, the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, dominated in their five playoff victories. They averaged 46.2 points on offense while the defense limited opponents to 22.4 points per contest. n Lindsey Scott Jr., the Gatorade Louisiana Player of the Year, ended his career in fitting fashion, leading the Broncos’ offense by completing seven of 14 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns to Shyron White (69 yards) and Doug Coleman (17 yards and 81 yards). The senior quarter-

back also ran for 87 yards and two more touchdowns. Scott, who is committed to play next season at Syracuse, finished the season with 3,039 passing yards and 33 touchdowns along with 1,963 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns. How can you describe what Scott meant to the Broncos over the past two years? n The 34 senior Broncos who brought home the school’s first championship also deserve a mention. The past two seasons, they have dominated Class 5A football, last year going 12-2 and losing in the semifinals to eventual state champion Acadiana, 9-3. This year, they went 14-1 with one hiccup against Calvary Baptist. Other than that, they were perfect and have not lost a District 4-5A game in two years. Some will go on to play collegiately, but for most, this was the pinnacle of their football careers. What a great stage to make an exit. n Brewerton and his coaching staff. “Coach Brew,” as he is affectionately known, is the hottest prep coach in the state. He guided Livonia to the Class 3A finals in 2013 and is 26-3 with the Broncos, including two straight district titles, never losing to a 4-5A opponent. Ironically, Brewerton was a starting lineman on the Catholic High team that finished as the runner-up to Ruston in the 4A title game in 1990. His position coach was ZHS Principal Joe LeBlanc, and Zachary assistant coach Gerry Garidel was Catholic’s longtime defen-

After the victory over John Ehret was complete on Saturday and the championship trophy secured, the Zachary

players then ran to the student section to celebrate with their fellow students, parents and fans. They danced and highfived and acted like champi-

ons. It was a fitting conclusion to a season that will be immortalized in Zachary history. Job well done, Broncos.

Community rallies behind Broncos BY STACY GILL

sgill@theadvocate.com A community pep rally was held Dec. 10, celebrating the Zachary High School Broncos and their journey to a state championship game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Saturday. The event helped to rid the football players of some nervous energy, it seemed, as it did for the band, cheerleaders, dancers, color guard and twirler, all of whom performed for the Zachary community. And it worked like a charm, as the Broncos captured the state title with a 46-12 victory over John Ehret. During the rally, the Broncos players heard from alumni members of the team, who offered words of encouragement, well-wishes and luck. Buddy Baudoin, Todd Hernandez, Laramie Howard, David Hunt, Scott Hunt, Leonard Scott, Thomas Scott and For-
