Gov. Jindal Visits Clinton to Announce Funding for 911 Center

See JINDAL on page 7

Tom McVea

Last Monday, Governor Bobby Jindal announced $270,000 in capi-tal outlay funding to support the pur-chase and renovation of a new emer-gency communications center for the East Feliciana Parish 911 Com-mission. The State Bond Commis-sion recently approved the funding.

The new center will better serve the area during emergency evacua-tions and will allow the Commission to coordinate shelter space faster for those evacuating from coastal areas during a storm. The funding will also support a new emergency phone sys-tem that will help local law enforce-ment respond to 911 calls faster and more efficiently.

Governor Jindal said, “Today’s announcement builds on our efforts to partner with local law enforce-ment and emergency offices to cut crime and ensure we’re prepared for a natural disaster. We want to make sure our parishes have the resources they need to keep our people safe in the event of an emergency. Strategic

Governor Bobby Jindal, Representative Kenny Havard, and Senator Rick Ward joined with most of the elected officials of East Feli-ciana to announce the funding of the new parishwide 911 call center in Clinton.

Couhig, McVea Make Runoff for West Feliciana Parish PresidentBy James Ronald skains

43.2% of the registered voters in West Feliciana Parish turned out to cast their vote for Parish Presi-dent. Kevin Couhig had received the most votes, 1,575, when the votes were counted on Saturday night. Couhig’s total compares to Tom McVea’s total of 1073 votes or 33% of the votes. Couhig led the first primary by 502 votes.

Tom McVea told the EXPLOR-ER on Tuesday, October 22: “I was very surprised by the outcome. I thought that I had done a better job in motivating my supporters to get out and vote for me. Obviously, I’m going to have to change gears

West Feliciana Taxes Renewed, Shropshire elected Justice of the Peace in East Felicianaand run a more intense campaign to motivate my supporters to go to the polls on Saturday November 16.”

“I think that the issues are still the same in the run-off as in the primary election. Do we want to build our parish on the great things that we have already accomplished or do we want to jump off in un-charted waters and make dramatic changes that no one knows will work?” McVea emphasized. “We have worked very hard in the past few years to build the foundation so that our parish can achieve eco-nomic success for all ages of peo-ple in our parish.”

ELECTION continued from page 1

“I was in Baton Rouge within the last few days meeting with Representative Fannin, Chairman of the House Appropriations Com-mittee to make sure that our mon-ey did come through for the Tuni-ca Hills development. I’m happy to report that the money is now available. That project didn’t hap-pen overnight but was the results of a lot of hard work by a number of people over the past few years.”

“I want our parish to be the best it can possibly be as I always have wanted and worked toward that goal,’’ McVea, who has served a total of 16 years representing West Feliciana in the state legislature stated. “I am thankful for all those who supported me during the first primary and ask for their contin-ued support in the run-off.”

“I’m going to work harder in the runoff and tell more people my plans for the future of the Parish. We very much need our first par-ish president to be able to work closely with all the people in the parish in order to build coalitions and get everyone on the same page so that West Feliciana can move forward in an orderly manner.”

Kevin Couhig who missed be-ing elected in the first primary by only 41 votes, Couhig told the EXPLORER: “I’m very pleased and excited by the results of the primary. I’m thankful for all the enthusiastic supporters that got out and voted on the 19th.”

“Not being a politician, I didn’t really know how I was doing the in first primary until the votes were

counted,” Couhig pointed out. “All I was doing was going around the parish telling people my vision of where the parish could go under my leadership.”

“I’m going to run this race on the same issues that I ran on in the primary. The main issue is the fu-ture of the parish. We have identi-fied some problems in the parish that need to be corrected.

My goal as parish president is to get those problems addressed, and make economic development a priority.”

“This is a local face-to-face campaign,’’ Couhig emphasized. “I don’t plan on doing anything different in the runoff than I did in the primary. I started knocking on doors Monday morning the 21st, telling people who I am and what I can do to make the parish a better place to live.”

“I don’t know what role, if any, the two candidates that were elimi-nated in the primary will play. I’m asking for everyone who didn’t vote for me in the primary, to do so in the runoff. However, I want the people who vote for me to be really enthused about my candidacy and the vision I have for West Felici-ana Parish, which is the best place in the world to live and work.”

In comparison, the two other elections on the October 19 ballot, the Congressional Election and the 2 mills for the parish-wide com-munications system only had 2,971 and 3,012 ballots cast. The bal-loting for these two elections was less than that of the parish presi-dent balloting, 39.7% and 40.3%. State Senator Riser who represents West Feliciana in the State Leg-islature led the race for Congress

with 33,045 vote’s district wide followed by Vance McAlister with 18,389. Riser received 41% of the 2,871 votes cast in West Feliciana compared to McAlister’s 5% or 157 votes in the parish.

In East Feliciana candidates went head-to-head in a close race for District 4’s Justice of the Peace, with John H. Shropshire defeating Joyce A. Kent for the position.

Shropshire won by a margin of 55.34 percent over Kent’s 44.66 percent.

A total of 233 votes for Shrop-shire were tallied over Kent’s 188 votes.

The position was left vacant after the death of Nellie Anderson Thomas, who passed away last May.

Thomas served as Justice of the Peace from 1991 until 2013.

Writer’s note: Having covered the West Feliciana Parish Presi-dent’s race from its early days, I would say that before October 19th there were four good can-didates, and now there are two good candidates remaining. One will become the new Parish Presi-dent. Ironically, the new Parish President will work for at least two years with the two candidates, Lea Williams and John Kean, who were eliminated after the votes were counted on the 19th. Wil-liams and Kean will both continue to serve on the existing Parish Po-lice Jury.

Preparations Ongoing for Annual Day the War Stopped FestivitiesBy James Ronald skains

It was June 12, 1863, a day like no other during the Civil War. That was the day that the fighting stopped so that both Union and Confederate forces could bury the body of Union Lt. Commander John Elliot Hart.

“Lt. Commander Hart was a Ma-son from Schenectady, New York,’’ David Norwood, noted historian and artist from St. Francisville explained to those a attending a Foundation For Historical Louisiana function at the Old Governor’s Mansion in Ba-ton Rouge. “He was a member of St. George Lodge in Schenectady.”

“Lt. Hart commanded the gun-boat, the US Albatross that was one of the two Union ships that had suc-cessfully navigated through the bar-rage of shelling at Port Hudson. The Albatross was then sent up the Red River to Fort DeRussey where it par-ticipated in the capture of the Fort. Later, the Albatross came back down the River and anchored up river from Bayou Sara.”

“At 4:15 a. m. on June 11, 1863, Lt. Commander Hart shot and killed himself in his stateroom on the Al-batross,” Norwood elaborated. “Hart had become despondent from the hor-rors of the war, but also had been suf-fering for a number of months from a severe medical problem that we know now as “acid reflux”.

“In the suicide note that Hart left in his stateroom, he asked God to for-give him for his actions, but explained that he just couldn’t take all the pain, suffering and horrors of the war any longer. Hart noted in his last state-

ment “God knows my suffering.”“The Executive Officer on the

Albatross as well as other officers on the ship were Masons as was Lt. Commander Hart. They didn’t want to bury their Commander at sea or, in this case, the river. The Albatross under the command of the Executive Officer sent a rowboat into the Port of Bayou Sara under a white flag and asked if there were any Masons in the area.”

“At that time, Bayou Sara was the largest shipping port between Mem-phis and New Orleans,’’ Norwood, who lives in an ante-bellum home in St. Francisville pointed out. “I don’t think at the time that the officers of the Albatross knew that the oldest Masonic Lodge in the state of Loui-siana was located in St. Francisville.”

“Some of the people from Bayou Sara got in touch with W. W. Leake who was the Senior Warden of the Masonic Lodge in St. Francisville. Leake was also a Captain in the Con-federate Calvary who had already fought in Virginia and Tennessee before coming back home to defend Port Hudson. Captain Leake agreed to furnish a casket and allow Com-mander Hart to be buried in the Grace Presbyterian Cemetery with full Ma-sonic Rites.”

According to a website article by Anne Butler dated May 14, 2010, Leake reportedly said: “As a soldier, he considered it his duty to permit burial of a deceased member of the armed forces of any government, even one presently at war with his own, and as a Mason, he knew it to be his duty to accord Masonic burial to the remains of a brother Mason, with-

out taking into account the nature of their relations in the outer world.”

Seventeen years ago, the St. Fran-cisville Masonic Lodge in conjunc-tion with Shirley Ditloff, several lo-cal Bed & Breakfast businesses and Plantation Homes in the area orga-nized the event, “The Day the War Stopped”.

“Through a series of events, they commemorate this unusual event that happened 150 years ago each year in June,” Norwood noted. “With a cast of re-enactors in Civil War costume, the actual event of bringing ashore the Commander’s body and his buri-al staged at the Grace Presbyterian Church where he is buried.”

The commemorative event of “The Day The War Stopped” usually occurs on the evening of the second Friday of each June. It begins with graveside historical reenactments in the peaceful oak-shaded cemetery at Grace Church where Commander Hart’s grave is marked by a marble slab and monument. The inscription reads in part; “In loving tribute to the universality of Free Masonry.” Over the years Daughters of the Confed-eracy decorated it with flowers.

Nearby is the 1912 grave of Cap-tain Leake who made the burial of Commander Hart in St. Francisville possible. W.W. Leake had a long distinguished career in Louisiana af-ter the war as a state senator, parish judge and banker.

Following the graveside ceremo-ny, an open house and presentation of lodge history is held at the double-galleried Masonic Lodge on Ferdi-nand Street. On Saturday morning, a parade rolls down St. Francisville’s

historic main street. Early afternoon is usually the time slot for the pre-sentation of events surrounding the burial of Hart with re-enactors in Civil War uniforms and civilian dress of that era. Taking roles in past re-en-actments have been Robert S. Leake, great-great-grandson of Captain/Se-nior Warden W.W. Leake and Frank Karwowski. Karwowski is a member of Commander Hart S. George Ma-sonic Lodge #6 in Schenectady, New York. Shirley Ditloff, one of the orga-nizers and directors of the event typi-cally participates.

On Saturday and Sunday after-noons of the June event, Oakley Plantation and Rosedown Plantation also get into the act by hosting related Civil War era events.

“There is one historical contro-versy to the story,’’ Norwood pointed out; “The storyline for many years has been that the Albatross had been shelling Bayou Sara and St. Francis-ville the day before Hart’s death.”

“However, a history professor from Nichols State has published a book in which his research indicates that the Albatross did not shell St. Francisville in 1863, but the town was shelled in the spring of 1864 due to the refusal of the Town of St. Francisville to release to the Union command a Confederate spy that had been arrested in the town,’’ Norwood concluded.

Writer’s Note: The 2014 Reenact-ment of this event is scheduled for the second weekend of June 2014. For more information contact the Cham-ber of Commerce in St. Francisville.

Christmas in the Country Tour of Homes SetOwners of four stylish and dis-

tinct West Feliciana private homes – two modern, two historic – will open their doors to visitors during the Friends Of The West Felici-ana Parish Library - Christmas in the Country 2013 Tour of Homes. The event showcases architecture and interior design in a quartet of dwellings set in the rolling Feli-ciana hills and in downtown St. Francisville.

The home tour, set for Sunday, December 8 from noon till 5 p.m., is part of the parish’s popular Christmas celebration on the first weekend of December. Last year’s Tour of Homes was the most popu-lar yet, and organizers expect this season’s crowds to be even bigger.

The day begins at 11 a.m. with an optional jazz brunch at the Bluffs Resort Clubhouse, 14233 Sunrise Way, featuring trum-pet player John Gray. (The jazz brunch must be purchased sepa-rately.) Doors to the private homes open at noon. The tour trail takes visitors on the following itinerary:

Home of Betsy & Christophe Levasseur. Built in 2012, this sprawling Acadian-style country house, designed by architect Mark Matthews, features extensive use of reclaimed hardwood on floors and beams throughout. The mantel over the fireplace is a hand-hewn railroad trestle.

Home of Coco & David Trep-pendahl. In 2003, the Treppendahls bought this beautiful, sanctuary-like property and turned a trac-tor barn into a refined-rustic de-sign jewel. The pole-beam house, called Dellamata by its owners, retains the original tin roof, but has taken on cypress board and batten siding. Working from her own artistic conception, architect Coco Treppendahl – whose studio is on the premises -- built Della-

mata with salvaged materials such as pine beams and reclaimed win-dows. Situated serenely among live oaks at the end of a winding gravel road, Dellamata has about it the air of a rural hermitage.

Home of Emily & Billy Hon-eycutt. In the early 1900s, local carpenter George Baier built this house on St. Francisville’s historic

Ferdinand Street, and settled there with his family. In more recent times, it was used as a law office until the Honeycutts purchased the house and returned it to a resi-dence with the help of architect Billie Ann Brian. Mature camellia trees surround the home with clas-sic Southern floral ambiance, and the back yard makes an unusual

but graceful incline to a hollow below.

Home of Anna Macedo. Well-known area artist Anna Macedo recently moved into this Ferdinand Street home, which doubles as her studio. Owned by Peggy Sanders and Sue Catchings, the house was originally built as a two-room cot-tage in the mid-1800s. The current owners made significant additions in the 1970s. Macedo’s quirky eye for detail is well-known from her work in Country Roads magazine, so visitors are sure to enjoy an insider’s look at the environment she’s created.

St. Francisville’s wonderful main-street shops – along Fer-dinand, Commerce, and Royal Streets -- will be bursting with Christmas cheer, so guests won’t want to miss all they have to offer as they pass by on their way to the next destination.

Visitors are invited to cap off their day at the Bluffs Clubhouse with coffee, dessert, and shopping at the Boughs Of Holly Boutique, a seasonal pop-up shop featuring the work of local artists and arti-sans. There will be Christmas mu-sic and decorations at the Bluffs chapel, and, back at the Club-house, a special 4:30 p.m. drawing that will award valuable prizes to tour ticketholders (must be pres-ent to win).

Tour tickets are $20 per person, with proceeds going to Friends Of The West Feliciana Parish Library. Advance tickets may be purchased online at wftourofhomes.bpt.me or in person at the West Feliciana Parish Library. On the day of the tour, tickets will be available at the Bluffs Clubhouse or at homes on the tour. For more information, contact Pat Heurtin at 225-784-2731 or patheurtin@aol.com.

CommunityThird Annual Jackson Cancer Walk a Huge Success

Pink and black were the domi-nating colors Saturday, October 12th in Jackson on Highway 68. Breast cancer survivors and sup-porters gathered for the third an-nual Plush Butterflyz Breast Can-cer Awareness Walk.

The goal of the walk was not just to raise money for American Cancer Society but it was to in-crease awareness and help pro-vide free resources and support the women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

Some of the money raised will also help with research to find, prevent, treat and cure breast can-cer and to provide mammograms.

Participants walked from the baseball field on Highway 68, down Colony Five Road till they reached Hwy 10 and their jour-ney ended right back where they started at the baseball field. Be-fore trekking off on their mission Belinda Kelly led the group in prayer.

Debra Jackson, president of the Plush Butterflyz Social club stated that “Our club members and others come out to honor and celebrate our breast cancer survi-vors and really unite as a commu-nity to fight back against cancer.”

After everyone returned from their walk the group heard from two breast cancer survivors; Me-lissa Jackson and Helen Hawkins.

Before being served jamba-laya that was cooked by Alan Ray Hayes pink balloons were re-

leased. Some of the balloons were in honor of those that had survived breast cancer and other balloons were released in memory of those that died from breast cancer.

Balloons were released in

memory of Linda Bell, Annie Bradford, Kathie Bradford, Lou Ferguson, Jane Franklin, Elaine Freeman, Essie Hardy, Ernestine Higgenbottom, Ruby Hill, Ruby Hollins, Mary Hundee Green, Glenda Jackson, Evelyn Southall, Mary Williams, Rosetta Williams, and Thelma Williams.

Balloons were released in honor of Mary Louise Bankston, Marie Becken, Gwendolyn Brad, Christine Dawson, Kathy DeLee, Juanita Hampton, Helen Hawkins,

Martha Hayes, Melissa Hills, Doris Huggins, Glenda Jackson, Lady Lee, Londa Matthews, Nel-wyn Rainwater, Aldrenna Vessel, and Annissa Woodard.

As the American Cancer So-ciety turns 100 this year, there is still much work to be done in the fight against cancer but it’s great knowing that the Jackson Com-munity has some ladies that are getting together and doing some-thing about fighting this dreaded disease.
