With New York joining the predicted that Americans would vote for independence, the title of embrace Independence Day as one the document was changed to read: of the greatest holidays.

The other delegate was

Caesar Rodney, who reportedly rode all night from Dover to Philadelphia on July 1 to vote for independence on July 2 and ensure a 2-1 vote in favor for Delaware. The signed Declaration of Independence is now preserved and protected in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Tracking those historical events in the summer of 1776 helps us understand why the Declaration of Independence is considered “America’s birth certificate” and why July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day. But most meaningful are the principles, faith, commitment and courage embodied in the language of the Declaration, words that continue to inspire today. My attention is always drawn to that powerful moral statement in the opening passage: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, and that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Having read and heard this passage many times, I know the words almost by heart, or most of them, and how smoothly they flow. But imagine the emotional impact when they were first read or heard in 1776. They have the ring of truth and had to sound… well, revolutionary. However, the end of the Declaration is nearly as strong as the beginning:

“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiances to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved …. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Those closing words remind us of the enormous personal risks faced by everyone who voted for independence and signed the Declaration, not just for themselves but for their families as well. These men were clearly fomenting rebellion against King George III and facing the military power of Great Britain. Definitely a dangerous decision in 1776. Yet, despite the life-threatening risks, they boldly defied tyranny, proclaimed our God-given rights and the right of the colonies to be free and independent states. Courageous and confident, “with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.” Here are a few statements from America’s founders after the Declaration was approved by Congress: See INDEPENDENCE DAY on page 2

INDEPENDENCE DAY continued from page 1

John Hancock said, “There! His Majesty can now read my name without glasses. And he can double the reward on my head.” George Washington said, “The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” Thomas Paine said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” Stephen Hopkins, a signer of the Declaration from Rhode Island, said as he signed the document, “My hand trembles, but my heart does not.” Indeed, Hopkins (and the rest of the signers) had reason to tremble. Of the 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured, imprisoned and tortured. Several lost wives, children or entire families. Two wives were brutalized and tortured. All were at one time

or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes by British soldiers. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned. Carter Braxton, a wealthy planter and merchant, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags. Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family constantly. He served in Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were seized by the British, and he died in poverty. British soldiers looted the properties of Ellery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnet, Heyward, Rutledge and Middleton. At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis was using his home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire on his home, saying it was no longer his home but was now the headquarters of the enemy. The home was subsequently destroyed. Nelson died bankrupt.

Frances Lewis had his home and properties destroyed by the British. They jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and all of his 13 children vanished. He never saw them again. The two patriots most responsible for the Declaration of Independence, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both died on the same day: July 4, 1826—the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration. Daniel Webster gave the eulogy for both men on August 2 of that year. He concluded his remarks with these words: “It [the Declaration of Independence] is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now,

and independence forever.” Amen! That should be the living and dying sentiment of every American. So, while we enjoy the parade, cookouts and fireworks on July 4, we should pause for a moment to remember those patriots in 1776, with gratitude for their faith, resolve and courage. They gave us the gift we cherish and celebrate every July 4, a free and independent United States of America. Happy Independence Day!

Zachary School System Discusses Personnel Needs During First Summer Meeting

By Mike Gennaro

The Zachary Community School Board met for its regularly scheduled 6 p.m. work session and 7 p.m. meeting June 18. Members in attendance included Beth Kimmell, Heidi M. Vessel, Hubie Owen, School Board President Ann Watkins, Marty Hughes, Brandy Westmoreland, and Gaynell Young. Superintendent Scott Devillier was present to preside over the meeting. The meeting was the first official meeting of the summer. Yolanda Williams, Director of Human Resources, kicked off the work session discussion calling attention to the pressing need for highly qualified math and special education teachers. “It’s getting difficult. There is a shortage of teachers and we’re all starting to feel it,” she relayed. Williams expressed gratitude for the

recent raises from the state, pointing out that at the same time other states are also giving raises. “Teachers and other certificated personnel will get a $1,000 pay raise, support workers will see their salaries grow by $500 and districts will get an increase in discretionary money as perstudent allocation grows from $3,961 to $4,015,” according to a June 3, 2019, Associated Press article by Melinda Deslatte. Included in the list of those competing for the top talent pool of teachers: other states, local districts, charter schools, and now virtual schools. Virtual schools allow teachers to work fully or partially from home and lead online classes, without having to deal with disciplinary issues, so there is a competitive advantage. Williams pointed out the one advantage that tra-

ditional school districts still have over virtual education---the Teacher’s Retirement System. Also discussed during the evening: • Immunizations have been a prominent discussion in recent news. The official school policy is for each student “to present satisfactory evidence of immunity to or immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases according to state law and a schedule approved by the state DHH, OPH, …” Due to legalities, if a student doesn’t have immunization, then they have to go to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and obtain an exemption form. Only in the event of an outbreak would the student be required to stay home, according to Devillier. • The board decided that the current stadium scoreboard, built in 1983, needs updating to LED to save

on expense. Ads were put out for bids, and bids were recently presented. “My recommendation along with architects, engineers, and attorneys is that we reject all bids due to change in scope, to change the bid to a materials and labor bid,” stated Devillier. • A teacher’s leadership conference will be held Monday through Friday in New Orleans this week, hosting 5,000-6,000, 60 of which will be from Zachary, reported Devillier. • Postlewaite & Netterville, CPA firm was re-engaged to audit the Zachary Community School District: the audit covers financial statements of governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information. • Superintendent Devillier’s contract was renewed through 2023.
