Loopp vs. Central What Central Residents Say About Loop

Woody Jenkins

Ochsner’s Brings Snow for Opening of Sullivan Clinic CENTRAL — More than 50 Central kids enjoyed playing in the snow Saturday at the Grand Opening of Ochsner Health Center Central, 11424 Sullivan Road.

The $2.2 million facility offers a number of specialties, including internal medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, cardiology, and pediatrics. Central resident Dr. Keith Holmes is one of the Ochsner physicians who practices at the clinic.

On Saturday, it was all fun and

excitement, as more than 350 local residents toured the facilities and ate hot dogs and snacks.

The kids gathered around the two tons of snow provided by Snomobile (phone 262-1799). The young people ran a gauntlet as others walloped them with snowballs.

Then a snowball fight ensued!

The 7,500-square-foot facility includes 12 examination rooms and offers Electronic Medical ReSee OCHSNER on Page 13

BATON ROUGE — The BCS National Championship game on Jan. 9, 2012, has created such a sensation that no one wants to go to school or work that day. In fact, did you know Jan. 9 will be an official holiday?

CENTRAL — The Kringlewood Christmas Tree Farm, a landmark in Central for the past 35 years, is selling the last of its Christmas trees, and none has been planted for future years, according to owner Reggie Pulliam, who cited health as his primary reason for closing.

The next few days may be the last time to purchase a Christmas tree actually grown in Central.

The farm, located at 9110 Greenwell Springs-Port Hudson Road, is open from 1 to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. The remaining inventory of trees is 20 percent off.

Will Jan. 9 Become An Official Holiday, LSU Day Perhaps?

CENTRAL — As the Baton Rouge Loop prepares its application for Federal Highway Administration approval, residents of Central are expressing their disapproval of the project in large numbers.

More than 1,000 Central residents have already submitted comments, overwhelmingly against the Loop. Loop promoters are hoping FHWA approval will open the door for public-private funding of the project. “Public” funds could come from federal stimulus money and “private” funds could come from Chinese government-owned banks.

The Capital Area Expressway Authority is a special unit of government not under state or local government control. Mayor-President Kip Holden has been pushing See WHAT on Page 3

KRINGLEWOOD CHRISTMAS TREE FARM — A tradition in Central for the past 35 years is closing after this Christmas. Owner Reggie Pulliam, 78, said the rigors of running the operation are too much for him.

After two bypass surgeries, he’s not supposed to do much lifting.

“I also lost an eye, but I still have my teeth!” he laughed. Reggie, shown with neighbor dog Buster and a large Leland cypress, may consider another holiday business, such as a pumpkin patch.

Central City News to Go Twice Monthly in January, Weekly in August; Will Have Lots of Special Editions Woody Jenkins

Editor, Central City News

CENTRAL — In January 2011, the Central City News launched a oneyear experiment on changing our publication schedule. After being published weekly for many years, we decided to try something different. From January to July of this year, we published on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.

Then in the 2nd week of August, when school went into session, we resumed weekly publication.

We had beWoody Jenkins lieved that from January to July, there was significantly less news and less economic activity than August through December. The schedule also allowed us to start a new monthly national conservative newspaper called Liberty Today.

Believe it or not, the weekly newspaper business can be very intense, even more so than a daily, because you have to do so much with very few people. For my part of the job, being editor of the Central City News is about an 80-hour a week job, and it’s easy to burn out. The new schedule allowed us to continue without “burning” out.

Ironically, our revenue was about the same, even with the economic decline. Most of our advertisers like to advertise twice a month instead of weekly.

Central City News’ 2012 Publication Schedule January 2012 - July 2012 - 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month Deadline: 5 p.m. Thursday seven days before publication August 2012 - December 2012 - Every Thursday from August 9, 2012 through December 20, 2012 Deadline: 5 p.m. Friday the week before publication Thursday, Jan. 12 Thursday, Jan. 26 Thursday, Feb. 9 Thursday, Feb. 23 Thursday, March 8 Thursday, March 22 Thursday, April 12 Thursday, April 26 Thursday, May 10

Anyway, our staff has decided to continue on the same schedule for another year — twice monthly January through July, and weekly beginning the 2nd week of August.

We appreciated your support for this plan during 2011 and beg that you indulge us again this year.

HHH Jan. 9 is an Official Holiday.

Yes, Jan. 9 will be an official holiday, but not because of the Tigers.

What Central Residents Are Saying About Proposed Baton Rouge Loop Continued from Page 1

We believe the construction of the Baton Rouge Loop across Central would forever change the Central community for the worse. The loop will divide Central and bring all the problems of the Interstate highway system into the heart of Central. People will be forced to move their homes and businesses from land that they thought they owned, but will be coerced to realize they do not and at the choice of the government it will be taken away and they will be left with no choice but to relocate, with much difficulty, which

the project and traveling to China for “private” funding. The private partner would actually operate the superhighway on a day-to-day basis and receive all the revenue, in order to provide it a guaranteed rate of return.

Citizens have until Jan. 5, 2012, to file public comments.

In order to file comments, send your message via email to centralcitynews@hotmail.com or to Central City News, 13567 Hooper Road, Central, LA 70818. The newspaper will file all of the comments with the Capital Area Expressway Authority, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Central City Council.

HHH Here are some of the comments that have been received from Central residents on the proposed Baton Rouge Loop:

GREENWELL

BASE CORRIDOR FOR NORTHERN LOOP through Central. Another route farther north is the northern by-pass, or N8.

should not be necessary.

A loop will not solve the congestion on the I-10 corridor during the local rush hour commuter traffic. Commuter traffic will not be significantly impacted by rerouting bypass traffic. It can be solved with much less expense. The underlying agenda behind the loop project seems to be common greed by landowners in times of economic difficulty and the greed of construction companies, engineering firms, and lawmakers.

The public has rejected the loop project, but that doesn’t seem to matter.

The governor has cut funds, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Three parish presidents from Livingston, Ascension, and Iberville have pulled their parishes out of the project, but that doesn’t seem to matter. We don’t want the Baton Rouge LOOP in Central. What part of NO don’t you understand?

— Michael & Carol Hopper HHH Please don’t cut my Country City in half. Central is a very unique place to live. Please come for a visit sometime.

Thank you.

— Warren & Kathy Potts HHH How about extending Hooper Road to Hwy. 16?

— Micah Potts HHH I strongly oppose, not only because it will divide Central, but because I don’t see how it will help the traffic problems of Baton Rouge. There are several other alternatives besides a toll road.

— Christine Resweber HHH Because it’s going to ruin the rural nature of area with on/off access at

Greenwell Springs Road. There goes the “neighborhood.”

— Charles Cabrea HHH I am strongly opposed to the BR Loop for these reasons: A $4 billion toll loop with $2 to 3 billion of private funding is not economically feasible. The numbers don’t work! Even if they did I would be adamantly opposed to private for profit investors being able to expropriate private property. $1 to 1.5 billion Federal and or state funds used for the loop would dry up resources that could be better used to do much needed projects such as: a) widening I-10 to past Gonzales; b) widening I-12 to east of Walker; c) 4-lane Hooper to LA 16 in Watson; d) 4-lane O’Neal Lane from Central Thruway to See WHAT on Page 4

What Central Residents Are Saying

Continued from Page 3 I-12; e) 4-lane US 190 from Denham to past Walker; f) and many more.

No benefit to the City of Central, a community that would be most affected by N9 or N10 running through the middle of the city. There has been little if any public input allowed on the loop project. As I understand it, the loop is not on the State Highway Department’s most want to do list or the BR Chamber’s priority list. The BR Loop in its present form is starting to smell like a $4 billion boondoggle!

— Conrad Redman HHH As a soon to be again resident of Central, I STRONGLY oppose the loop. The City of Central has worked too hard to get to the place it is now and is finally its own city.

Most people have lived in Central their whole lives and can’t imagine leaving Central or Central turning into some crazy city full of traffic and issues because of a loop. Many of the residents like myself, don’t even like to travel to Baton Rouge. And when we do travel, we know the route to the interstate and a lot of us travel back roads.

We live in Central to be away from all the big city traffic and people.

We want to keep the rural countryside to Central without the loop.

Please take into consideration that the loop is a good idea to help out traffic and is actually needed, but NOT through Central. In reality, there is actually no point to split up the City of Central by a loop. Central is rural and I truly believe that is how Central is meant to be. The residents of Central live in Central for this particular reason and we do not have problems with our routes to Baton Rouge.

Thank you for your time. Please listen to what the residents of Central have to say about this loop.

— Tuesdai Belle HHH I am writing to express my strong disagreement to the proposed Loop Expressway. Having moved to Baton Rouge from Philadelphia, Pa. in 2003, I am acutely aware of the effects of expressways on the public. The results will be toxic to the environment and damaging to the health of all residents.

These devastating results include a drastic decrease in air quality resulting in damage to local agricultural resources, respiratory disease [asthma, etc.], potential damage to the next generation from DNA changes, and loss of human life due to the greater speed/number of

vehicles as we have seen on our local interstate systems.

If the loop is built, it will not only decrease our beautiful natural resources, but will surely increase asthma rates which are already at an extremely high level particularly in African American men, women, and children. Our young people deserve a better chance for a healthy life and future. Have you done any studies on this subject? I feel we owe it to our children.

— Julie Tullos, RN, BSN, LNC HHH We oppose all loop proposals. Traffic problems could be solved by widening existing roads and extending Hooper Road with a bridge across the Amite River into Livingston Parish.

— John & Genevieve Andre HHH No loop thru Central!!!

— Shirley T. Browning HHH Only N8 will actually help traffic and not destroy Central. Do you want to destroy us!

—Jean Barnard HHH I oppose all loop proposals. The solution would be to widen Hooper Road and construct a bridge over the Amite

River into Livingston Parish.

— Troy & Jackie Rembert HHH When my husband and I move back to our property one of the plans will go through our land.

— Sabrina Spurgeon HHH I generally oppose the proposed Loop.

— Rebecca Shelton HHH Put a bridge at end of George O’Neal Road to direct people from Central (i.e. for traffic decongestion). Direct to other ways. We cannot split Central, that’s what makes us a close knit community.

— Cynthia Diane Ray HHH It seems it would be less costly to widen the interstate that has a heavier traffic flow such as O’Neal Lane past Denham Springs.

— David & Sherri Borsky HHH It will disrupt our country living, the calm and quiet we have.

— Jeremy Spurgeon HHH If there has to be a loop the north bypass would be the best [N8]. Please do not cut Central in half which the other two routes do.

— Judy Roberts HHH I oppose the loop going through Central.

— Huey Reames HHH I generally oppose the proposed loop. I do not want the loop to divide Central City. If I needed to vote for a route, it would be N8 only.

— Faye Starks HHH I TOTALLY oppose the loop!

First of all, the majority of the traffic comes in from the east and the south — NOT the north.

Second, I don’t believe that it is right for Central to suffer because of the flight from Baton Rouge to escape it’s pathetic excuse for a school system.

Existing roads should be upgraded, and a new bridge constructed across the Amite River. This would be far more cost efficient, greatly reduce the traffic and displace fewer residents. We live in Central because of its rural atmosphere. If that is destroyed, I know that I will be the first to get out of this area.

HHH I am opposed to the loop on several grounds. It is too expensive, will take too long to build, will be too disruptive to existing property owners, and it won’t solve the traffic problems. There are cheaper alternatives which can be built quicker and will be more effective in solving traffic problems. For the northern part of the parish, where I live, making Sullivan, Wax, and Hooper roads four lane and extending Hooper to the Amite River with a new bridge across the Amite would greatly ease traffic in the Central area. Adding two lanes to the existing bridge on Magnolia Bridge Road would also help. These aren’t new ideas but they don’t get any attention except from Woody Jenkins and other leaders in Central. All we hear about is the loop and how great a project it is.

I don’t see any way that the loop makes economic sense. I don’t see how toll revenue can even cover the interest on the capital cost. The importance of toll revenue has been emphasized but little information has been given on how the toll revenue is estimated.

Outside of rush hours, traffic on the interstates flows well. The traffic problem is caused by local traffic. What percentage of through traffic have you estimated would use the loop?

People who live in Livingston Parish and work in Baton Rouge might be inclined to use a loop until they realize how much it would cost. Using the published toll rate of 15 cents per mile and estimating a 15 mile trip from Livingston Parish to Baton Rouge gives a one-way cost of $2.25 or a round trip cost of $4.50. An average month has 22 work days so the monthly cost would be $99 which amounts to $1,188 per year.

Has anyone surveyed these people to determine what percentage of them would be willing to pay this amount?

It seems to me that we have the cart before the horse on this project. We are spending time and money studying various routes for a loop before we have established economic viability and the impact it would have on local traffic. The problem is local traffic not through traffic. You haven’t convinced me that a loop is the best solution.

— Warren E. Becker HHH I STRONGLY oppose the proposed Baton Rouge loop.

I certainly understand the Baton Rouge government’s desire and need to relieve traffic congestion within the Baton Rouge City limits. I occasionally drive into Baton Rouge and agree it is an inconvenience at best to get around in our Capitol city. For those of you that live and work inside the city it is probably quite an ordeal.

For my family, the two definitive words in that last paragraph are “occasionally” and “inconvenience.” We “occasionally” go into Baton Rouge which means 1-2 times a month. We can usually choose the day and time to go, so the slight “inconvenience” of traffic is the price I pay for going into

Baton Rouge in the first place. We chose to live outside Baton Rouge city limits for a reason. We shop, work, go to school, and go to church where we live. We support our community and want it to remain just as it is, relatively congestion and crime free. (I acknowledge Central is not perfect by any means.)

That being said, I do not think a loop around Baton Rouge and through any of our outlying communities is a good solution. I have heard better proposals such as to widen the interstate through Baton Rouge, make more creative on/ off ramps such as the one at Bluebonnet and for my area widen Hooper Road, widen Greenwell Springs Road, and build a bridge across the Amite River into Livingston Parish.

If a loop were to be built through Central, it is likely that many of our residents including me will move further out of town to avoid the traffic and crime that will likely accompany the loop. Zachary, Prairieville, St. Francisville all have great rural communities I may have to consider as a future home.

Bottom line: Baton Rouge, we do not need a loop.

— Dewayne Ray HHH I OPPOSE the north loop. Do NOT build it! I work in Central. My travel time will greatly increase if you build it.

— Rebecca Arnold, Baton Rouge HHH I totally oppose proposed loop. The loop route (N10) or (N9) go through many family properties and will divide Central. Route N10 will ruin my family property which has been in my family since the early 1930s.

I am now afraid to make any improvements to my cherished property.

What can I leave to my children, as my father and grandparents were able to do for me? Extending Hooper Road to Watson (a bridge over Amite River) will solve the northern traffic problems in the parish — NOT A LOOP. A north loop WILL NOT solve traffic problems in Baton Rouge. Please do not put the loop in Central.

— Anne Browning Matlock HHH The Political Loop Around Baton Rouge. The loop around Baton Rouge has become a political debate. I agree with an article that appeared in Saturday’s paper. We need to address the

root cause...

Can’t they see that its when people are going and coming from work that is the main problem and not the travelers that pass thru Baton Rouge. A loop is not the answer for the root cause. The best way to help the traffic and reduce the overall cost is to correct the real problem with people from Livingston and Ascension parishes coming and going to work in the morning and afternoons. My suggestion is to complete the widening of interstates and see how that goes and then if necessary, double deck Interstate 12 to Hammond and Interstate 10 to Gonzales with exit lanes as the present traffic pattern shows the need for... These options that I have suggested are being used in cities larger than ours. Our local government is acting like the federal government in both spending and decision making.

— John Lynch HHH I did not buy land in this country city to have a interstate go right through it. I love the trees and rural living that Central has to offer and the thought of building a house in Central and losing that country living, totally disgusts me! And the loop will not help the thousands of people that drive from Denham Springs to Baton Rouge everyday! They will still drive Greenwell Springs Road. Please NO LOOP. — Bo Sheridan HHH A loop built through the City of Central would be detrimental to the wellbeing of the city itself. We have made great strides in improving our city and sense of community within Central. It would be a shame to destroy all of this progress in the name of “progress.”

— Kendall Keating HHH No Loop through Central!

Wildcats Fall to Zachary in Kinsley Tourney Semifinals

CENTRAL— The Central High School basketball team fell to Zachary in the Charles Kinsley Basketball Tournament last Saturday. Zachary took 3rd Place as a result of the win.

Central Wildcat Justin Jemison was named to the All-Tournament team. Scotlandville won the Kinsley Championship, while Glen Oaks was runnerup.

Central showed a lot of promise in the Zachary game, but suffered a large number of turnovers, especially from stolen balls.

Tonight, Central hosts St. Amant at 7:30 p.m. in the kickoff of the

District 4-5A/District 5-5A District Challenge.

The District Challenge pits three teams from 4-5A against three teams from 5-5A. It’s a moving tournament, that will be played in three different towns.

The three teams from District 4-5A are Central, Denham Springs, and Walker, while the three teams from District 5-5A are East Ascension, Dutchtown, and St. Amant.

The first set of games will be held tonight at the Wildcat gym. On Friday, the games will be played at Dutchtown, and on Saturday at St. Amant.

All-Star Game to Start at 2:30 at Zachary Stadium

ZACHARY— Two of Central High School’s top athletes will be in the starting lineup for this Saturday’s U.S. Army Bowl at Zachary Bronco Stadium in Zachary.

The game begins at 2:30 p.m.

All-District Defensive MVP Zach Hetrick of Central will start at linebacker for the Rough Riders, while All-District Joey Jarreau will start at defensive end.

Central coach Frank Fresina will coach for the Rough Riders under head coach Neil Weiner of Zachary High. Some of the area’s most outstanding All-State and All-District players will take part in the contest, including three star quarterbacks from Zachary, Scotlandville, and Denham Springs.

The game will be taped for later broadcast by Cox. Central schools Athletic DirecCoach Fresina tor Sid Edwards urged Central fans to turn out en masse and sit together to support Hetrick, Jarreau, and Fresina. In addition, the commanding general of the Army is supposed to attend, and everyone involved in the bowl is hoping for a good turnout for the general, who funds the annual event. Attending the game is a way to say thank you to the U.S. Army.

Leaders Invite Community Over

Continued from Page 2 You will love their decorations, both inside and outside the house, the giant Christmas tree in their living room (How did they get it in there?), their collection of LSU memorabilia, and the magnificent lake behind their home, which has also been decorated.

They may also have some snacks and finger food. Everyone is invited, and please don’t miss it! The Leaders are located behind AA Mini-Storage at 12414 Hooper Rd. Will we have another White Christmas? Okay, here’s the facts: Nobody knows. We know the chance of snow in Pinkham Knotch, NH, on Christmas Day is 95 percent, while the chances in Honolulu are 0.001.

The website www.about.com says the chances of anywhere in Louisiana’s having one to four inches of snow this Christmas is 0 percent. However, since we had snow on Christmas for two of the last three years, plus add to that the fact that LSU is playing for the National Championship, I’m saying our chances of having one to four inches of snow on Christmas Day are 5 percent. So be ready.
