The State of The City

The City Of Zachary – Mayor’s Annual Message January 10th, 2018 was the seventh anniversary of the City’s current administration. The date also commemorates a past year which reflected the City’s continuing recovery from the 2016 August flooding event. While the many debris piles and other obvious signs of the flood’s damage are now mostly absent, there are still those suffering the effects of loss and the pace of recovery. I would ask that you please continue to keep these residents in your thoughts and prayers. Zachary will not be made whole, until all of its people are. Zachary’s resilience has enabled the City’s infrastructure to recover through the many improvements realized since the events of 2016. However, drainage issues do remain a primary concern locally, and top the City’s priority list for overdue improvements. While various and new engineering strategies and solutions have been offered; and with millions of dollars from available grant sources having been pursued, the end result remains unchanged. The City has been unable to win support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in allowing the issuance of required permits that would create needed drainage improvements. While the Corps position may be to “first do no harm”, precious little benefit will ever be realized without the re-engineering of Cypress Bayou. This single tributary remains as the primary deterrent in allowing for the rapid evacuation of storm waters that have plagued Zachary for well over a decade. East Baton Rouge Parish was awarded $106 million dollars in October, 2017 with Zachary set to receive $1.6 million of that amount for local drainage improvement projects. The City proposes to offer as many “hazard mitigation” projects as possible under the grant guidelines, while still making good on the required 25% funds match in order to remain project eligible. Zachary’s overall grant justification and its flood history are especially well defined. Unfortunately, as in the past,

David Amrhein the Corps of Engineers rigid “credo” and its likely-used contingency may once again create a stumbling block for enabling flood water relief for Zachary. Compounding these issues further is the uncertainty over the future of the Comite River Diversion Canal Project. If completed it would most assuredly provide needed relief for the northern portion of East Baton Rouge Parish, and for those areas downstream. I would use this means to strongly encourage your active participation in this drainage improvement initiative by contacting your metro-councilman, your local legislators and your state congressional delegation. The prevailing federal interpretations regarding drainage improvement requirements must be relaxed, and the use of sound engineering strategies and practices should prevail over the more traditional methods of “grubbing and clear-

ing” alone, of those drainage tributaries which has been the past practice. New and improved roads, water, sewer and utility project management and maintenance have all helped to assure the expedited delivery of convenience and services. These improvements have all been spirited by the continuing “smart growth” model Zachary envisioned for itself not too many years ago; and one which we all continue to benefit from today. I remain strongly committed in support of the City’s infra-structure workforce, one now smaller than the one we had upon entering office. Collectively, they have demonstrated the ability to get the job done safely, efficiently and professionally. While some communities embrace the philosophy of “doing more with less”, it often comes at a cost. Safety is an area which will never be compromised, and in Zachary

we’re equally committed to the safety of our workers, as well as the public they serve. Zachary Fire and Police each continue to exhibit the response and professionalism synonymous with public safety, service and protection. We are grateful for their service and take great comfort in the peace and the services they each provide. I would be truly remiss not to mention Zachary’s City Council. Its member’s dedication to public service is demonstrated daily through the many hours of commitment to their respective council districts; and more so through their innate ability to work together for the good of Zachary. We are all better for and appreciative of their efforts. Zachary’s growth in recent years has demonstrated that local government has become a full-time business, and not just a job or an occupation. If ours was the corporate world, one might be inclined to think of success as being measured simply by “making as much as you can, as fast as you can, for as long as you can”. This simply doesn’t apply in government service. No one goes into it for the money or for the prestige. Success is measured daily through commitment, hard work and in knowing at day’s end that you’ve left things better than you found them. The great Vince Lombardi summed it up best when he said “some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will all be judged by only one thing, the result”. Let us use the ‘New Year’ to recommit to all that is good in our lives and in our community. When life’s challenges do occur we’ll possess the strength and the peace in knowing that as a community of one, we are many; and therein lay our true strength. Sincerely,

David Amrhein

Joint Ventures: BRCC Unveils Jackson Campus ZHS Students Can Dual Enroll for College Credits

business leaders await the graduates who decide to seek employment, the students learn life-long skills, and the community prospers. The Spring 2018 Class Schedule Certified Nurse Assistant Class Begins March 5, 2018 This is a seven-week day class Job openings for over 50 CNAs in Felicianas and Zachary area Instructor–to be determined

By Patricia Stallman

Everybody Wins When BRCC–Jackson’s Johnny Arceneaux held a flag raising ceremony at the Jackson college December 12, everybody came and everyone contributed. State Representative Kenny Havard brought flags that had flown over the State Capitol; Welding Instructor and Army Reserve Staff Sargent Frank Reynolds, and Welding Student and J– ROTC Cadet Ensign Ellis Arbuthnot (West Feliciana High School) did the honors. Anvil Attachments CEO Jon Craft, who is also president of the Feliciana Regional Business and Industry Council, provided the ingredients and Parish Assessor Jeff Gardner cooked the jambalaya. When supporters of the local community college came together in Jackson that day and took part in the ceremony, and then enjoyed a meal they had themselves prepared, they demonstrated the larger joint venture that Mr. Arceneaux has encouraged, the coming together that makes everyone a winner. Mr. Craft, for example, has supported BRCC–Jackson since Mr. Arceneaux’s arrival, helping acquire equipment and set up the welding and machine shop instruction areas, then hiring the program’s graduates. Other business executives have provided part-time jobs for students and then hired them full time upon their graduation. Still others provide materials for projects. Leroy Harvey of Harvey Enterprises in Jackson, a longtime supporter of education, is happy to advise and offer his business expertise in the interest of providing skilled workers for businesses that move to the area. Larry Thomas, president of East Feliciana Parish Economic Development District, is also a big supporter of the businesses, new and established, that need people skilled in the trades. Law enforcement officials, including East Feliciana Sheriff Jeff Travis and Felicianas District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla were also present to take part of the win-win equation, as training in the trades leads to high-paying jobs in industry and gives purpose to those who might otherwise have little hope for a productive and successful life. When everyone has an opportunity to succeed, everyone is safer. Ministers have the same motivation to support BRCC–Jackson, as the opportunity to earn a good living means that people will establish responsible lives and serve their communities. Educa-

Nights 20 Weeks Future Classes BRCC–Jackson will offer developmental classes and general education classes, as well as machinist, millwright and pipefitting classes, based on the demand for them in the service areas of the Felicianas and Zachary. Out-of-State Students Because Mississippi residents are an important part of the region’s workforce, beginning this semester BRCC will waive the out-of-state tuition fee for Mississippi residents on a pilot basis for one year.

tional programs and safe communities attract businesses. And of course, the area schools benefit from dual enrollment offerings for their students. Students from East Feliciana, West Feliciana, and Zachary High Schools fill the welding class that begins January 16, with Frank Reynolds as lead instructor and

Frankie Babin, Joe Smith, Stefan Smith and Damion Zaunbrecher assisting part time. Brenda Williams’ seven-week medical assistant course, a dual-enrollment course for East Feliciana High School students, also begins January16. The win-win: school systems expand their offerings for their students, BRCC–Jackson’s classrooms are filled,

Upward Bound Partnership BRCC will partner with East Feliciana High School beginning Spring Semester 2018 to provide the Upward Bound experience for 60 EFHS students. Upward Bound staff will be based at the BRCC Jackson site and will provide tutoring and mentoring support for EFHS students at the high school. Upward Bound students will participate in support activities on Saturdays at the BRCC–Jackson campus and in a summer program at the East Feliciana

Middle School in Clinton. They will enroll in dual enrollment classes at the Jackson site and in other BRCC classes, including online classes. The purpose of the project, which will continue for several years, is to interest the students in attending college, and to help them reach a higher earning power. Upward Bound, Mr. Arceneaux says, provides students with “a ladder out” of environments that may not teach them to value education and “a safety net at the same time.” Business Partner Projects Anvil Attachments of Slaughter, Louisiana, has partnered with BRCC– Jackson to provide students with realworld fabricating and welding experience assembling and welding metal bins and pallets that Anvil uses in its daily in-house operation. Anvil designs the pallets and bins and provides blue prints, pre-cut metal, and welding wire. The students gain the fabricating skills that Anvil needs, skills they might not have otherwise added to their training. Community Service Projects During the Fall Semester, West Feliciana High School welding students assisted in the fabricating and painting of a metal frame for a two-person swing at the Louisiana Veterans Home in Jackson. A Veterans Home resident provided the materials and designed the frame to allow residents to get into and out of the swing safely; further, the materials are so light that the residents can easily move the swing under the shade of the trees at the Home. For another community project, during the Spring Semester, East Feliciana High School welding students will fabricate basketball poles and backboard frames for two basketball goals that the Town of Jackson will install on the tennis court at the Jackson Sports Park. During Phase I of the ballpark’s development, the tennis court will serve temporarily as the basketball court, thus allowing people to

play basketball while the Sports Park is under construction over several years. Challenges and Opportunities BRCC–Jackson students face the following challenges, Mr. Arceneaux says: They need transporation to classes, and childcare during classes...and money for books, for welding tools and supplies for the skilled trade students, and for scrubs and stethoscopes for the healthcare students. They need part-time jobs that will allow them to attend classes. Arceneaux reports that several who attended the open house have volunteered to help BRCC students address these challenges. Several community leaders are exploring the possibility, for example, of using buses and vans already under maintenance and already insured to create a transportation system for BRCC–Jackson students. School buses fit that description and already pick up and drop off students morning and evening. Social Service agencies provide rides for their clients, and prisons too maintain fleets of vehicles. Even churches own buses. In the Feliciana region, people who have often had little know that nothing is impossible. They have persevered by making good use of those win-win partnerships, those joint ventures. To volunteer ideas or other assistance, please contact Johnny Arceneaux at arceneauxj@mybrcc.edu.

Entergy’s River Bend Station Supports Zachary’s Assistant Chief of Police Darryl Lawrence Graduates FBI Academy Heritage Ranch with $25,000 Grant A $25,000 Entergy grant to Heritage Ranch will aid the Zachary residential home in its mission to strengthen children, their families and the community. Heritage Ranch, like many other non-profits, flooded in 2016 and has been in a long recovery process. While completing campus flood recovery, the Ranch provided outpatient services to its clients. Thanks to the support of companies like Entergy, the Ranch reopened its residential home January 1, 2018, serving young men in crisis. Entergy grant funds are supporting daily program services for Ranch boys and their families.

Blood Drive January 19

Lane Regional Medical Center is celebrating National Blood Donor Month by holding a blood drive on Friday, January 19, from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month to encourage donors to give or pledge to give blood. First-time and regular donors are encouraged to make a difference in their communities by giving blood every January, and regularly thereafter. Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months due to the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather and illness. January, in particular, is a difficult month for blood centers to collect blood donations. A reduction in turnout can put our nation’s blood inventory at a critical low. Remember, just one pint of blood can help save up to three lives. Call (225) 658-4587 for more information.

Entergy’s River Bend Station awards grants to community-based projects that focus on enrichment and improvement of families. Entergy’s River Bend Station gives funding to programs that have direct impact on children, educationally and emotionally, to sustain healthy families. Heritage Ranch Christian Children’s Home serves boys, ages 10 to 18, who live with house parents while attending school and receiving help in the areas of tutoring, counseling, and life skills.
