Those students who participate in a national event are given $200 by the school board. Lazard attended the National Superintendents Association conference last week in Los Angeles. He had an opportunity to represent Louisiana and was the only one to represent on the governing board. He said some superintendents wanted to take a position against corporal punishment, but Lazard said he would rather local states and districts individually make that decision. That particular effort did not pass, as the association did not take a position on it. Lazard went on to inform the board that March 1st is Dr. Seuss Day in honor of his birthday, and he and some of his staff will be visiting the elementary schools and reading to the students. Lastly, Lazard said he hoped the state would give a raise to teachers and support personnel because they haven't had a raise from the state since Governor Blanco was in office. He said the school board gave them a raise and he was grateful for that, but said "I think it would be wonderful if the state of Louisiana would take a stand and invest in public education."

EPAR animal rescue efforts discussed at Tuesday's Rotary meeting

The Ville Platte Rotary Club today (Tuesday) heard from guest speaker, Jill Guillory Stephens with (EPAR)- Every Pet Animal Rescue. The volunteer animal rescue group has been in existence since 2014, rescuing pets from the two local pounds and strays. She reported that the Evangeline Parish Police Jury is assisting in funding the cost of veterinary bills for strays. The parish has no animal shelter. In 2018, EPAR rescued some 600 animals, mostly dogs and most were sent to new homes in northern states such as Maryland, Massachusetts and even Canada. The local group is affiliated with an animal rescue group headquartered in Maryland called "Last Chance Animal Group". A full time member of the group who resides in Mississippi travels to Maryland each week bringing some 60-110 dogs.

Evangeline Parish Police Jury discuss blighted homes and drainage issues with Ville Platte officials

The Evangeline Parish Police Jury met Monday evening with a full house. Several Ville Platte City council members and Mayor Jennifer Vidrine addressed the police jury with issues of blighted properties and drainage. Regarding the issue of blighted properties, police jury secretary treasurer Donald Bergeron said they had budgeted $60,000 for the clean up of blighted properties and have successfully cleared two houses this past week. He said the process is to start with the worst houses that pose a public risk. Some of the houses are owned by the police jury, but some are privately owned. Mayor Vidrine said the city of Ville Platte is also in the process of tearing down blighted properties, and they have found that 53 of them belong to the police jury. She said the city is getting blamed for the properties that they cannot touch because they belong to the jury. Bergeron said, "At least 95% of these homes did not come to us in great shape." The police jury and the City of Ville Platte came to an agreement that, going forward, the jury would report every quarter period on the number of blighted properties demolished, starting with the properties that post the greatest public risk. The next issue on the agenda was the subject of drainage, and the city council members remained to discuss drainage issues in the city of Ville Platte. Mayor Vidrine said the city needs help from the police jury to clean the city's canals. She said they do not understand why the police jury cannot clean the canals, especially since the last elecetion saw an amendment pass that allows political subdivisions to loan equipment to one another. Police Jury president Ryan Leday Williams said he's in favor of doing anything to help in his district. Councilman Bryant Riggs said the top two issues he hears from the public are blighted properties and drainage. Mayor Vidrine stressed that the city and the police jury can work together to get this issue solved. Jury members said part of the problem is that, with the machine they have, they would have to break the concrete in the canals, and it could affect some property owners' fences. For a few moments the jury and the council members, and even audience members tried talking over one another. Jury president Williams banged his gavel when the cacaphony had reached its crescendo. Williams brought everyone back on topic and said another potential problem with helping the city with drainage is the wait time when it comes to equipment floating through the districts. He said he might not get the equipment for another several months in his district, and then he has projects on the line. Mayor Vidrine asked that the city canals be added to the wait list
