Evangeline Parish Police Jury Ponders Leasing Crooked Creek Park

     The Evangeline Parish Police Jury, Monday, received two offers from local residents to lease Crooked Creek Park. Jury Secretary Treasurer Donald Bergeron said the jury is looking at exploring that option. The parish owned 300 acre park is about 40 years old and contains over 100 camping sites along with a fishing lake and a sandy beach. Bergeron said jurors plan to be cautious of any lease to make sure the taxpayer’s investment is protected. The jury agreed to formally advertise to lease the park and review the bids.

       In other business, the police jury approved the following appointments: Sandra Jacobs to replace Mayor Jennifer Vidrine on the Parish Library board and  Pam Hall to the Mamou Drainage Board; the following were re -appointed to serve another term: Charles Benny Fontenot and Wendell Brunet to the Vidrine Drainage board; Bryan Bieber and Darrell McGee to the Prairie Mamou Drainage Board; Clem Manuel and Paul Berzas to the Duralde Gravity Drainage Board; Ralph Celestine to the Mamou Drainage Board; Lynn Gooden and Nathaniel Thomas to the Evangeline Parish Communications Board.

      Also the jury approved picking up the election day expenses for the following polls that do not meet the minimum voter numbers: Lake Cove, Faubourg, Chauncey Pitre Ag  Arena, Veterans Home and Lincoln Road. The state mandates that a poll must have a minimum of 300 registered voters. If not, they should consolidate. The jury did request the state to consider paying the election expenses for Lake Cove under extra ordinary circumstances since the majority of voters are low income and it would cause a hardship for voters to travel to another precinct.

      In other action, the jury was notified that the security camera project is completed for the courthouse at a cost of $40,000; sales tax collections for July amounted to $266,692, a drop of $40,000 from the month before; and the Beacon’s Gully Bridge project is finally complete after eight years at a cost of $600,000.

EVANGELINE PARISH SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS BI-MONTHLY MEETING AND CHEERLEADERS RECOGNIZED

The Evangeline Parish School Board met Wednesday night in the School Board Media Center.  The room was packed with supporters of the Cheerleaders from Bayou Chicot Elementary.  School Superintendent, Darwan Lazard introduced the cheering team and announced that three of the cheerleaders were recently selected as All-American Cheerleaders.  Jesa Vidrine, Mayzee Lafleur and Ainsley Dutton were chosen after attending UCA Camp this summer.  Only 10% of those who attend the Camp are actually chosen as an All-American.  The three are sponsored by Anne Soileau and Fallen Ortego.  The girls will not only be performing during the half-time show at the LSU game this Saturday night; but, they will also be performing in the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Orlando, Florida.

 

First Student Representative, Lance Enkey, gave an update to the School Board on how things are going since school started.  Enkey said there was a driver’s meeting held with principals from schools, drivers and some members of the Board and Administration attended.  He said he received a “ton” of feedback from the drivers and said it was a very productive meeting.  He said there are currently 89 routes being run daily in the Parish consisting of approximately 4,521 miles driven by approximately 25 drivers.  Each bus contains 4 digital cameras and they have implemented safety practices on the buses to ensure that no child is left on a bus at the end of the day.  A few of the drivers have already found children sleeping due to their safety practices.

 

School scores will be changing next year and will continue to change until the target year of 2025 when new standards in student scores will take full effect.  According to Roxanne West and Penny McDaniel with the School Board, ‘BASIC’ is no longer acceptable and the State is sending schools to achieve a “MASTERY” status by students in order to receive the points required to score schools.  The Superintendent said “Some schools that were at an ‘A’ last year may not come in at an ‘A’ next year due to the changes.  He said they are working very hard with children to achieve the new levels.

VILLE PLATTE POLICE AND AREA BUSINESS TEAM UP TO SEND SUPPLIES TO FLOOD VICTIMS IN TEXAS

Ville Platte Police Chief Neal Lartigue would like to thank everyone who donated items for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.   He has been working with Connie Lamke, also with the Ville Platte Police Department who teamed up with Kerri Courville – Area Manager (Central Louisiana Market) of AT&T- Live Mobile to collect donations of supplies such as water, diapers, wipes, soaps, shampoo, deodorant, undergarments etc.  Staff at both locations helped greet donors and gather donations. In three days over 150 cases of water were donated and enough supplies to fill and truck and trailer.  “We are thankful and proud to have been a part of this donation drive” Chief Lartigue said, “We will continue to be a drop off point for anyone who wishes to donate.”

 

Chief Lartigue has been hands on for this donation drive as well as helping personally, He recently made a trip to Beaumont to help rescue a family.  “Chief Lartigue has encouraged the department to get involved and help and continues to lead by example”, Connie Lamke stated, “He was on the road when the group photo was taken but kept in touch with me to make sure we had what we needed before our team left for Texas.”  Kerri, Connie and Chief Lartigue had a meeting at the Police Department before the trip to Texas to discuss routes, logistics and safety.

 

On Sunday Kerri and Casey Courville left Ville Platte headed for Texas with the supplies in tow.  As most of the interstate was still closed to traffic, it took many detours and extra hours of travel to reach their destination.  Kerri stated that they were met by friendly faces and much appreciation.  “We saw so many people helping and giving” Kerri said, “It was a humbling experience that I’m happy to have been a part of.”

 

Donations will still be accepted for another trip.  “We already have donations that have come in even after the team left for Texas and we will continue to accept donations at the Ville Platte Police Department and AT&T- Live Mobile.” Chief Lartigue stated, “Our focus will be on what is a continued need for our neighbors in Texas and we will keep the public informed as their needs change.”

 

Our parish residents have risen to the needs of victims with donations of huge proportions.  Staff at both drop off points were kept busy helping offload donations as they arrived.  “We were proud to be able to reach out and help those affected, “Chief Lartigue stated, “We’ve been there ourselves, our neighbors in Texas needed help and will continue to need help for some time.”

 

If you would like more information on donating or other ways to help, contact Connie at the Ville Platte Police Department, 363-1313.

    She reported that a new software system will detect water leaks anywhere inside the city limits. Every week, homeowners will be notified if the software finds there is a leak on the home owners property instead of waiting until the end of the month when the water bill could be considerable.

   The city of Ville Platte will be getting a $1.6 million dollar grant for the Ville Platte Recreation complex for four additional fields.

   Work is progressing on cleaning up abandoned property and abandoned vehicles. She reported that in the last two weeks, 14 abandoned homes were torn down.

   The city is building 10 single family homes on city owned property along Dossman Street using grant funds for rent or purchase.

   Also the city is looking at erecting a new welcome sign on East Main next Tobacco Plus with a fountain and flags.

   Mayor Jennifer said a group of citizens is urging the city to remove the reflective gear ordinance. The mayor feels it is a good ordinance to protect the safety of motorists and pedestrians walking at night.
