ZHS Softball Celebrates Senior Night with Doubleheader Victory

Tax Increase Defeated

By Jen Bayhi-Gennaro

The Zachary High Softball team celebrated senior night last week with a doubleheader victory over district rival Broadmoor High School. Between the games, Zachary Seniors Deneisha Biagas, Tori Schenk, and Chelsi Parker were celebrated by their teammates and coaches for their Zachary High School playing careers. Pictured above from left to right: Coach Robbie Yellott, Head Coach Leslie Efferson-Yellott Deneisha Biagas, Tori Schenk, Chelsi Parker, Coach Brittney Perry and Coach Jerry Koppenol. The team is currently in the thick of district play.

The long-awaited, much debated, one-cent tax vote took place on March 28 and was voted down, with 1778 (65%) votes against and 962 (35%) voting in favor. The voter turnout was 18%. Board Member Hubie Owen expressed surprise at the turnout. “I was a little bit surprised that it seemed as though the “yes” voters didn’t get out. The “no” voters held the day,” Owen said. The School Board intentionally called the tax increase election during an off election cycle so that the turnout would be significantly lower, but this time their plan backfired. The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council now has a law on the books to mandate taxing authorities to call elections during high turnout fall election cycles. The law does not apply to the Zachary School System. “I guarantee way more than 20% will have an opinion when things start getting cut,” posted one citizen on the Zachary Business Review Facebook page. Voters and citizens have been turning to this page for the past few months to discuss and debate the tax, and now, their reactions. “People are sick of the high taxes and don’t want to pay even more. People are leaving Zachary and moving to Slaugh-

Kennedy Testifies on Stifling Regulations, Congressman Graves Visits Chamber

Bank of Zachary President and CEO Pres Kennedy testified last week before Congress on how excessive federal regulation is harming small businesses. Testifying at a Senate Small Business Committee field hearing in Baton Rouge. Kennedy, who is also the National Treasurer for the Independent Community Bankers Association (ICBA), noted that regulations are restricting community bank loans to small businesses. “The exponential growth of regulation in recent years is suffocating community banks’ ability to serve their small business customers,” said Kennedy. “The good news is that

there are readily available legislative solutions to this pending crisis. ICBA’s Plan for Prosperity platform of legislative recommendations will provide meaningful relief for community banks and allow them to do what they do best—serving and growing their communities.” Kennedy repeated ICBA’s call for lawmakers to support continued small business lending by advancing legislation with provisions of ICBA’s Plan for Prosperity, including: • The Community Lending Enhancement and Regulatory (CLEAR) Relief Act of 2015 (S. 812), intro-

Thank you for the front-page proclamation of the Gospel message last week in vol. 10, no 13. How wonderful it is to live in a town where the local owned paper boldly prints the hope we as Christians have in the Holy Triduum and specifically the Easter Season! Christ’s perfect display of mercy and grace on the cross during His passion and crucifixion followed by his triumph over death through resurrection and ascension are central to our core beliefs. Reading about our joyful antici-

pation of celebrating this season on the front page is yet another affirmation that we are trying to live “under God” at least here in Zachary! I also appreciate the evangelical appeal to the masses, earnestly requesting them to visit you at church on Sunday. Thanks again for making us proud to call Zachary our home. Great job, well done.

Zachary High Student to Perform with Louisiana Youth Orchestra

Mary Grace “Gracie” Ellerbee, 17, is the latest featured soloist to perform with the Louisiana Youth Orchestra. Mary Grace was the winner of the LMTA Senior Piano Concerto Competition, held this past December at the LSU School of Music. To compete, each contestant had to learn the last movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 40, to perform for a judge. The prize of the competition is to perform the movement with the Louisiana Youth Orchestra during their concert on April 25, 2015 in the Baton Rouge High School Auditorium at 3 p.m. The performance is open to the public, and is free of charge. Mary Grace has been playing piano for eighth years but has trained classically for two years. She has taken lessons under Mrs. Kathy Overfield (Kathy’s Keyboards) and Dr. Thais Perkins, and is currently taught by Dr. Lin Tian at The Music Preparatory School in Zachary, Louisiana. Mary Grace is a junior at Zachary High School and is the daughter of Patty Houk and Kevin Ellerbee, lead guitarist and vocalist of The Elvin Killerbee Band. This past summer, Ellerbee attended the piano program at Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Michigan and was awarded $5,000 to attend the 6-week camp. Additionally, Mary Grace has been involved in many honor bands, including the Louisiana All-State Jazz Band for two consecutive years and the East Baton Rouge All-Parish Jazz Band for three consecutive years. She is a three-year Loyola Jazz Fest Outstanding Soloist. Mary Grace is also heavily involved in the Zachary High School band, under the direction of Jason Venable and Donny Alexander, where she is a member of the wind symphony, jazz band, and marching band, as the pit percussion section leader (1st chair) and pianist. After high school, Mary Grace plans to attend a four year university and major in piano performance. After her Bachelor’s degree, she plans to pursue a Master’s and Doctor of Musical Arts degree and plans to perform and open her own piano studio.

A Heartfelt Thank You from the Lentini Family

We watched in awe as this wonderful event for our son Cory unfolded over the last two months. While what we saw and felt was quite different than what our friends and many community people expressed. We knew though, there was a lot of extremely hard work being done behind the scenes, up until the event took place. It was so heartwarming to see the looks on their faces; the smiles and the joy they shared with us all along the way, continually saying how this wasn’t a big deal for any of them. We could “see” and feel their sincerity when saying this, but we know better. It takes quite a lot of time with dedicated, focused, organized and caring people to put something this massive together. We can’t thank them enough for their love, their “sweet spirit” and their caring for our son and our family. The event was such a wonderful time for all of us. It was so special to see so many of our dear friends; some from long ago, new friends… and even faces of some we didn’t know personally. What an AMAZING community we live in! We are so proud to call Zachary our home, and we know how truly blessed we are. To all of you who were a part of helping in so many ways, we appreciate you more than you will ever know. We’ve heard some of the sweetest stories throughout this whole event; people that we don’t even know, offering to help us with whatever the needs may be and sending their support and prayers. Debbie and Gary said “There are so many sweet stories, I can’t list them all, but a particular story - one that really touched my heart was of a little girl that we don’t know, who donated $1.00 from her allowance. There is truly only one word to describe what all of this meant to us- “PRICELESS.” We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. “As we looked around that room

ter/East Feliciana. That way they are close to Zachary but don’t have the high taxes. I will never vote for high taxes,” posted Doug Hall. Voters interviewed on Election Day overwhelmingly support Zachary Schools, but disapprove of the manner in which the School Board handles the district’s money, especially in regards to construction budgets and athletic facilities. “Yesterday was a setback,” posted Zachary Elementary School Principal Jennifer Marangos on March 29. “But the “majority” clearly did not speak. The “majority,” sadly, didn’t even bother to think about it.” Marangos and several others expressed disappointment in not only the voter turnout, but in low participation in the multiple and frequent townhall style meetings that were held to educate the population on this vote. Another citizen posting in the forum expressed the belief that most people in opposition didn’t even realize it was sales tax and not property tax. “I was just disappointed,” said Northwestern Elementary Principal Martha Davis. I’m not sure what will happen. Mandates are being paid out of savings, but savings are not going to last forever,” Davis said. “Eventually, it will get to personnel. That’s 80% of our budget,” she said. Zachary Superintendent of Schools Scott Devillier offered these comments after the vote, “The Zachary Community has always supported its schools. We went to the public for the additional financial support we felt was necessary to continue to operate our schools at the level to which this community has become accustomed. The voters did not support that, and now we are making plans to

proceed accordingly, continuing to offer the students of our district the very best educational opportunities possible. We will continue to be good stewards of this community’s resources, and to make every decision based on what is in the best interest of our kids.” Owen said the board members are going to have a retreat soon to discuss the next move. “There are no teachers that are going to lose their job over it at this time,” he stated. “We will do our best to balance the budget with what we have. Barring no surprises, increases in health care coverage, or anything else that the state might throw at us. The teachers will keep teaching and doing their job,” he said. Board member Gwen Fuselier echoed a similar sentiment. “Everyone had their reason to vote. My general feelings are that our community spoke about what they wanted. Now that it’s done, we can go to the drawing board. We know what we have and what we’re working with. We are going to talk about the streamlining of the budget. It can be done,” she said. “It can be done.” Despite the critics on Facebook, there is an overall message of hope that the Board members and the community will find another way to make the budget work and help Zachary continue to put the children first and retain our top school district status. “There will be changes I am sure, but we have good principals and people in positions that will keep our schools moving forward,” said Zachary Business Review page moderator Courtney Yoes. “I’m not panicked,” Fuselier said. “The people of the community are the stakeholders and they made their opinion known. I think we’ll come up with ways to preserve the quality in Zachary.”

Please Help with the Kiwanis Shoe Drive The Zachary Kiwanis Club is currently holding a shoe drive to help with its goal of eliminating neonatal tetanus and to put shoes on the feet of people in places like Ghana, Haiti and India. Kiwanis is partnering with Funds2orgs.com, which will pay 40 cents per pound of shoes. The funds will pay to vaccinate mothers in 24 countries against neonatal tetanus, which kills one infant every 11 minutes. Men, women and children are asked to donate pairs of gently worn shoes to the drive. Any kind of shoe will be accepted — flip-flops, sandals, sneakers, cleats, loafers, boots, rubber boots, high heels, slippers and wedges. About 2 1/2 pairs of shoes fetch $1.80, which is enough to vaccinate a mother and prevent a child’s death. Funds2orgs.com will help redistribute the shoes to microbusinesses in those countries, where otherwise unemployed people can get jobs cleaning and selling the shoes at prices people there can afford. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” Phillips said. Shoes were collected at Zachary area schools this past week and the public will be able to drop them off Thursday, April 9 at the Zachary Fire Department located at 4525 Main Street. The final shipment of shoes will be on April 11. If you need more information or have questions, please call Al Phillips at 654-0012.

Lauren Kennedy (left) and Kerri Lee (right) organize the mountain of shoes on Thursday morning at Zachary Elementary School. The students at all the local schools wanted to assist the Zachary Kiwanis Club in this “soles for our souls” project. Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations, help their communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different—so each Kiwanis club is different. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen. Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly $100 million every year for communities, families and projects.

duced by Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.), • The Financial Institutions Examination Fairness and Reform Act (S. 774), introduced by Sens. Moran and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), and • The Privacy Notice Modernization Act of 2015 (S. 423), introduced by Sens. Moran and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.). Newly elected Congressman Garret Graves visited Zachary the next day to speak to the Chamber on many of Kennedy’s concerns. “I have been in Washington D.C. for only 10 weeks, but I have really been shocked by how much acrimony there is on the Hill,” Graves noted. “However, I do see some areas of agreement between the parties, and introducing fixes to the overbearing Dodd-Frank legislation, which has hamstrung many local independent community banks such as Bank of Zachary and Guaranty Bank from making good loans to small businesses is an area of agreement.” Graves went on to tell the Zachary Chamber about other concerns in this congress. He reiterated that the many of the provisions in the “Obamacare” legislation continue to by drags on the economy and job market, and would like to see significant fixes in the legislation, or if it can’t be fixed then to repeal and replace with a better plan. Graves has been put on select committees he feels can directly help Zachary and the surrounding areas. Congressman Graves serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee. Both committees represent policy priorities that are important to South Louisiana – safe and efficient transportation, flood control, hurricane protection, maritime commerce, coastal restoration, ports development and energy production. He is Vice Chairman of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, which directly assists Zachary with funding for the Committee Diversion Canal project.
