School Board Honors Retirees, Students and Staff

By Jen Bayhi-Gennaro

As the number of days in the school year grows smaller, the length of the School Board meetings grows longer. On Tuesday, May 5, there were so many people in attendance for awards and recognition that the Board members set up a separate “holding room” in the conference room so people could wait their turn to enter the meeting. But first, Superintendent Devillier and the Board met at 6 p.m. for their work session. First up on the agenda was the personnel update, reporting resignations, transfers, retirements and positions to be filled. During the discussion, Board member Hubie Owen stated, for the record, that “no permanent employee or teacher has lost their job” because of budget cuts. Next up was discussion to adopt the millage rate for 2015 property taxes. The consensus was that the See SCHOOL BOARD on page 8

Hwy. 64 Widening Project to Begin this Week

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) plans to begin construction this week to widen LA 64, or Main Street., between McHugh Rd. and the LA 19 intersection. The widening project will add a center lane for vehicles to make left turns into businesses. The project schedule will require one lane to be closed in each direction, Monday – Thursday, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Friday from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, and Saturday 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday. The project is expected to take approximately 300 days to complete. DOTD officials say that the primary reason for the widening project is to improve public safety. Residents are encouraged to use the new bypass which serves as an alternative connection to, or from Hwy. 19 @ Bob Odom Drive through its intersection north of Hwy. 64, @ Montegudo Boulevard.

Mary Landry Brings Banners and Signs By Design to Main Street By Jen Bayhi-Gennaro

Mary Landry with Banners & Signs by Design has set up shop on Main Street in Zachary in a 1600 square-foot shop, after over a decade of running her successful business out of her kitchen and living room. Formerly, an eight-foot printing table took up her entire kitchen. “I kind of wake up and say, has this really happened? Am I really having all this space to have a home instead of a shop?” Landry laughs. Located in the same building as Vertu boutique, Banners & Signs by Design has enough rooms for a dedicated space for each stage of the process. From the front display and meeting room, to the printing and laminating spaces, to the pickup and delivery area, Landry’s new office helps increase her efficiency to continue to serve her loyal client base. From for sale signs in yards, to vinyl banners outside schools, to magnetic signs on buses, to aluminum signs outside businesses, much of the beautiful

signage around Zachary is the work of Landry. Customers include not only local Realtors, the city and the school system, to name a few, but Landry also has an outof-state client base. Thanks to referrals of past and present customers, Landry has shipped products to 16 different states.

The company’s journey to its present state began around the turn of the century, when Landry says the Lord impressed upon her heart a scripture that showed her to trust in the Lord, and He would make her husband’s desires and her desires align. “Dave has always

wanted to own his own business. He had kept mentioning opening a sign company. I didn’t want to do that. In praying about this, the Lord showed me that I needed to submit to my husband and open a sign company,” Landry said. She and her husband of 40 years and counting both had experience in this area, having worked for Denver Sign Company. Two years later, Landry, a former administrator at a Bible College, opened Banners & Signs by Design, and it has grown year after year without any advertising. Her husband Dave, now semi-retired, is at the shop with her two days a week. They are the parents of two grown sons who live out of town, and grandparents three times over. “Eleven and a half years later, because of the people of Zachary and friends and referrals, my business has grown exponentially,” Landry says. “It’s about submission to what God’s will is for you,” she says.

property tax renewal would be accomplished under the provisions of assessing the same millage as for the 2014 property taxes. Board member Gwen Fuselier asked if it was possible to roll the millage down to pay off bonds at a faster rate than 20 years, and Gordon Robertson replied that the only way to pay off bonds early is to refinance, which is what they were doing at the meeting, or to collect more money in one year than they need. The bottom line of the bond resolution is that the Board will realize a net savings of 1,095,000 from the refinancing of the 2005 and 2006 issued bonds—and Zachary taxpayers will pay that much less thanks to the pure profit from the refinance. After the Pledge of Allegiance, recited by Eagle Scout Luke Mondello, the awards and recognition portion of the meeting began. It started with the recognition of Young Author’s Writing Contest winners, nine of whom placed at the state level. Kyla Bates was then recognized as one of eight finalists in the National Poetry Out Loud Competition. When receiving her award at the meeting, she was put on the spot to recite a poem, and she happily rose to the occasion. Bates flawlessly recited “For The Young Who Want To,” a poem by Marge Piercy, and received a well-deserved round of applause. The Board recognized the outstanding support employees and outstanding substitute employees.

Rep. Kenny Havard Hosts District 62 Day at the Capitol

State Representative Kenny Harvard’s district, District 62, includes East and West Feliciana Parishes and part of Zachary. Havard reminds his constituents that when he ran for office—and even before—he cited as a major goal bringing together the people of District 62 as a major economic development region. To celebrate all that his district has to offer, Havard decided to bring the Felicianas and Zachary to the Capitol at the end of the Legislative session. There, at the Pentagon Barracks, on Tuesday, May 5, elected local officials, educators, businesspeople and their products, restaurants and their cuisine, artists, musicians, historic site managers in period costume— everyone came together to showcase 62, to introduce the legislators and their staffs to the generous, talented, industrious, funloving residents of the Felicianas and Zachary. Havard extends his thanks, he says, to the local Chambers of Commerce, to Director Audrey Faciane of East Feliciana’s Chamber and Director Kerry Everitt of West’s, who organized the participants and the contributors and their offerings. Everitt also credited the West Feliciana Tourist Commission and the Economic Development Board. “A special thanks to all of our businesses and local elected officials from the Felicianas and Zachary,” Havard said, “and to all the many volunteers. I look forward to our moving forward and all working together as a region. Together we have a lot to offer. I’m proud to represent such a great district!” Knowing that naming all who contributed to and participated in the event would be impossible, organizers have done their best at least to indicate the

The event showcased, for legislators and others at the Capitol, all that West and East Feliciana Parishes and Zachary have to offer their visitors and residents: gracious and funloving people; excellent public education; excellent cuisine and libations; historic tours, events, and buildings of every kind; music, art, drama, sports and just plain relaxation.

number of people who represented the district at the Capitol, citing educators Hollis Milton, superintendent of schools in West Feliciana, whose students continue to score in the top levels of nearly every measurement they encounter, and Johnny Arceneaux, who is headquartered in Jackson and serves as Director of Workforce Development for Baton Rouge Community College. Representatives of East Feliciana schools, now welcoming new Superintendent Carlos Sam, reported proudly the amazingly rapid advancement of their district over the last two and a half years. West Feliciana Parish President Kevin Couhig brought his Parish Government team, as well as Parish Council Chair Heather Howle and Council Members John Kean and Mel Percy.

Representing the musicians of the area was the group The Fugitive Poets. Among the mayors were Robbie Jackson of Slaughter, Lori Bell of Clinton, Billy D’Aquilla of St. Francisville—and David Amrhein of Zachary, along with Zachary Councilmen Tommy Womack and Trae Welch, who contributed pork loin, cookies and cake. East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Talmadge Bunch was on hand, as were the gentlemen of the Greater Baton Rouge Model Railroad based in Jackson. Among bed and breakfast hosts was Cynthia Beauvais of St. Gemme de Beauvais in Ethel. Clinton’s Stephanie and Sharon Roucon displayed the jewelry they create and offer for sale at the many area town market days. As for libation, thank Feliciana Cellars and Leroy Harvey of Leroy Harvey

Enterprises in Jackson for sharing wine from local vineyards. Food? Richard Oliveaux of Roadside Bar-B-Q, which serves Havard’s entire district, provided a roast pig complete with potato salad and baked beans. Rising to the culinary challenge were, from St. Francisville: Nasser Al Dallel of AlAqaba, St. Francisville’s new Lebanese restaurant, who served hummus and pita; Lori Gore of Audubon’s Café, Fiesty Feta Dip; Kaine and Beth Pace of the Carriage House, Kaine’s White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Chocolate Sauce; Tip and Beth Pace of Feliciana Seafood Market and Deli, Homemade Linked Boudin and Deer Sausage; Robin Marshall of Magnolia Café, famous homemade chocolate chip and oatmeal and raisin cookies; Rhonda Sutherland of Que Pasa, Southwest Eggrolls and Avocado Ranch Dipping Sauce; Jeff Warren of The Bluffs, Bacon Wrapped Chicken Fingers with Sweet Pepper Glaze; and Greg Martinez of The Francis Smokehouse and Deli, Boudin Balls. From East Feliciana, sharing the Veterans Memorial project, was the Jackson Tourism Enhancement Committee. Wanda Perry of Gentle Hands and Patsy Bueche of Details and Rentals promoted their East Feliciana businesses. From Zachary, adding their beauty to the occasion were newly-crowned Miss Zachary and ZFest for 2015 Katlyn Riles and pre-teen winner Nalon Souleau. So many contributed that naming each one is truly impossible. The group that gathered at the Pentagon Barracks on May 5 demonstrated not only the willingness to join forces to promote Havard’s district but the boundless enthusiasm that promises great fun along the way to increased prosperity.

Three Legged Dog Wins Prettiest Dog Contest at Library

Friends and family gathered for a “Wine Tasting” couples bridal shower honoring Jeff Englert & Rachel Byrd on Saturday, April 18, at the home of Chuck and Sharon Phillips. Jeff and Rachel were engaged at Napa Valley, California while visiting Sterling Vineyards. The party was hosted by: Mr. & Mrs. Chuck Phillips, Mr. & Mrs. Mike Creed, Mr. & Mrs. Jimmy Laurent, Jr. and Ms. Niccie McKey. The couple will marry on May 9, 2015, at Holy Name of Jesus Church in New Orleans, LA.

Recently John Johnson’s husky “Bleu” won 1st place at the Zachary Branch Library in the Prettiest Dog Category. Bleu is a beautiful dog, but the most notable thing about her is that she only has three legs. “She was born that way. As a pup, Bleu’s own mother rejected her. A friend of mine in Clinton gave her to me, because no one else wanted her. People know me for my dog. She’s always in the back of my truck with me and people gather around and take pictures of her. I am so excited that she won this contest. It goes to show that she went from a dog that no one wanted, now everyone loves her. She’s the best dog. She has been my shoulder to cry on since I lost my wife a month ago,” said Johnson.

Lane Regional Medical Center has Earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition

Lane Regional Medical Center has earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a national program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals. This is the 9th straight year Lane Regional has earned this prestigious recognition. Only 15% of hospitals in the United States received this award. Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services. To qualify for recognition, Lane Regional provided documentation showing it meets the following conditions: • All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential. • Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours. • Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision required for personnel to carry out specific procedures must be designated in writing. • A doctor of medicine or osteopathy is designated as medical director of respiratory care services.

Respiratory Therapists pictured left to right: Jim McGowan, Jeanesa Jackson, Trish Gueho, Clay Olsen and Jim McGowan. Not pictured: Mike Hlavac, Laura Butler, Cindy Conerly, Quincy Futrell, Randy Major, Debbie Mann, Katy Newsom and Sharon Wade.

• Hospital policy prohibits the routine delivery of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume nebulizers, metered dose inhalers, or intermittent positive pressure treatments to multiple patients simultaneously. Circumstances under which this practice is permitted is defined by policy. • Use a process that periodically compares performance of your respiratory department on efficiency and quality metrics with similar departments for the purpose of identifying an achieving best practice. “I am very proud of our Respiratory Therapists for providing the exceptional care this award reflects,” said Mike Hlavac, RRT, director of Therapy Services.

Respiratory therapists are specially trained health care professionals who work under physician’s orders to provide a wide range of breathing treatments and other services to people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS and other lung or lung-related conditions. They also care for premature infants and are key members of lifesaving response teams. The QRCR program was started in 2003 by the American Association for Respiratory Care, a membership organization representing more than 50,000 health professionals involved in respiratory care nationwide.

Food Addicts Anonymous Support Group Now Available

Lane Regional Medical Center is pleased to host Food Addicts Anonymous, a weekly support group to provide fellowship for men and women willing to recover from the disease of food addiction. This free, 12-step program support group will kick off on Thursday, May 14th and will be held every Thursday in May, from 5:30-6:30 p.m., in the West Wing Conference Room at Lane Regional Medical Center, 6300 Main Street in Zachary. All are welcome to attend. Food Addicts Anonymous (FAA) is an organization that believes food addiction is a biochemical disorder that occurs at a cellular level and therefore cannot be cured by willpower or by therapy alone. Many food addicts are obese and have tried numerous methods for weight control (diets, drugs, surgery, etc.) yet nothing has created a permanent solution. Other food addicts have never been obese - their physical weight has been controlled by extreme measures such as excessive exercise, purging through vomiting or laxatives (bulimia), or severe limiting of food substances (anorexia).
