    Central Mayor David Barrow SaysThibodeaux Rd. Work Coming in ’21

    CENTRAL — Thibodeaux Rd improvements are coming in 2021.Other roadway projects are being planned As part of planning for the fu-ture of our roadways, I am pleased to announce several projects that are being planned and one that will be starting in early 2021. Our sales taxes are up, and an appropriate use of these funds is towards in-frastructure improvements on our roadways. First, I am pleased to announce that improvements to Thibodeaux Road will start in early 2021. This nearly $1 million project will in-volve reconstruction and over-lay of 1.375 miles of Thibodeaux Roadbetween Morgan and Plan-chet roads. The existing nine-foot wide lanes will be increased to 10 feet to allow for more room on the road-way. Several cross drains under the roadway will also be replaced during the construction. The work will be done by R.J. Daigle & Sons

    David Barrow Mayor, City of Central

    Central Will Play KeyRole in Electing NextMayor, Metro Council

    Contractors. The engineering firm of Forte & Tablada, Inc. prepared the plans and will monitor and inspect the work. This is a Federal Aid project, and LA DOTD will reimburse the city 80 percent of the construction costs. Construction is expected to last 90 days. I have been working on plan-ning several other roadway proj-ects around the city with the as-sistance of the Capital Region

    Planning Commission and Forte & Tablada, Inc. These include: • Hubbs Rd overlay and bridge replacements (Denham Road to Highway 64). • Proposed roundabout at Sul-livan Road and Joor Road. • Intersection improvements at Greenwell Springs and Morgan roads • Planchet Road improvements (Frenchtown Road to Thibodeaux Road). Several weeks ago, I submitted a State of Louisiana Capital Out-lay request of nearly $6 million for the Wax Road extension (Sullivan Road to Hooper Road) with the support of Sen. Bodi White. This project is on our City of Central Master Transportation Plan and involves extending Wax Road from the dead-end in Central Square to Hooper Rd just east of Shoe Creek Drive. This new roadway will provide a residential collector bypass of Sullivan Road and a possible con-nection to Huntley Place to provide an alternate entrance for their sub-division that many residents have requested. A portion of this roadway will be constructed by the developers of the Settlement at Shoe Creek where it crosses their property to provide another access point for

    the development. This is the first step in obtaining funding for this project, and the City of Central will provide match-ing funds as well in the future. The four-laning of Hooper Rd from Blackwater Road to Sullivan Rd is being handled by the City-Parish through the MovEBR pro-gram. Roadway design plans have been completed, and I am hopeful that right-of-way acquisitions will begin within the next year. Utility relocations and sewer line installations are underway along Sullivan Rd, and the actual roadway construction should be let for bids in September 2021.

    Chris Hester a Great Choice for SeatOn State 1st Circuit Court of Appeal CENTRAL — The Central City News is pleased to endorse City Judge Chris Hester for the First Circuit Court of Appeal in the Dec. 5 runoff election. Judge Hester is a man of integ-rity and a fine judge. We are certain he will do a fine job representing all of us. Judge Hester was elected city judge in November 2018. His experience handling civil and criminal matters, including traffic, small claims, and evic-tions, from the City Court bench has given him an understanding of the root issues of many problems facing our community. Before be-coming judge, Chris spent the ma-jority of his career working as an assistant district attorney with the East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney’s Office. He previously served as section chief of a trial section and held the positions of chief homicide pros-ecutor and section chief of the Vio-lent Crimes Unit. He handled thou-sands of cases from misdemeanors to murders over a nine-year period. Hester earned the endorsement of East Baton Rouge Parish Dis-

    trict Attorney Hillar C. Moore, III, former East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Doug Moreau, the Louisiana Association of Busi-ness & Industry, the Baton Rouge Area Chamber FuturePAC, Baton Rouge Union of Police, and the Baton Rouge Association of Fire-fighters. As the chief homicide prosecu-tor, Chris saw the biggest chal-lenges — habitual offenders in the

    criminal justice system. He recog-nizes that these violent crime of-fenders often start with a misde-meanor handled in Baton Rouge City Court or District Court. This experience combined with his time as a City Court judge has cultivated Chris’ passion for solving serious issues that plague our community and prepared him to run for Court of Appeal. Judge Hester is committed to bringing a firm but fair perspec-tive, tireless work ethic, and ex-tensive courtroom experience to this important position as he seeks to build a better Louisiana. He un-derstands the real impact crime has on our parish, but he knows the difference an effective justice sys-tem can make when committed to serving the people. The safety and security of East Baton Rouge Par-ish families will always be his top priority, he said. “We need experienced judges who have handled cases from both sides of the bench who are ready to go from day one. The stakes are simply too high at this level of our judicial system,” Hester said. “Judges need to be proven, fair

    City Judge Chris Hester

    and trustworthy. I’m the only can-didate with judicial experience in this race and I’ve spent my career in the courtroom.” Chris was born and raised in Baton Rouge. He is a graduate of Catholic High School, LSU, and LSU Law School. Chris is a lifelong conservative Republican. Before joining the EBRDA Office, Chris began his law career at Watson, Blanche, Wilson and Posner, a law firm practicing primarily in the area of medical malpractice defense. Chris is active in the commu-nity as the head coach of the 8th grade basketball team at St. Aloy-sius Catholic School, Baton Rouge and Louisiana State Bar Associa-tions, and a committee member at First United Methodist Church. He is married to Emily Burris Hester, and they have two young children. Judge Hester said he hopes to transition his role from City Court to the First Circuit Court of Ap-peal, while still continuing to seek justice for the people of East Baton Rouge Parish.

  • Georgia: When Ballots from NowhereArrived in Multiples of 4,800 Votes

    At 16:35 UTC on Wednesday, Nov. 4, The New York Times reported President Trump was leading in Georgia by 103,997 votes. Then the Times’ continuous voting updates showed ballots arriving for Joe Biden in multiples of 4,800 votes over and over again. In some vote dumps, the President actually lost votes. This unprecedent-ed consistency in vote totals continued until Biden had gained 104,984 votes in multiples of 4,800. At the same time, in Penn-sylvania, Biden benefited from vote dumps in multiples of 6,000 votes, totalling 324,000.

    New York Times’ updates in GA on Saturday, Nov. 7

    cease in the lead for Trump after the new dump of votes occurred. Therein lies this story. Late on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at precisely 16:35 UTC, The New York Times re-ported President Trump was leading in Georgia by 103,997 votes. However, a new group of votes was being dumped. That one dump reduced Trump’s lead by 18,563 votes. Remember than number. Three hours later, anoth-er dump occurred. This one reduced Trump’s lead by 4,656 votes. Remember that number. Thirty minutes later, another dump reduced Trump’s lead by 4,685 votes. An hour and a half later, another dump reduced Trump’s lead by 9,323 votes. An hour and a half later, another dump reduced Trump’s lead by 9,509 votes. Are you beginning to see a pattern? The pattern is that all the dumps were multiples of 4,800. But it didn’t end there! An hour and 26 minutes later, another dump reduced Trump’s lead by 9,501 votes. At that point, Trump’s lead had been reduced to about 48,000 votes. Then an hour and 8 minutes later, a vote dump reduced Trump’s lead by 9,606 votes. An hour and 34 minutes later, a vote dump reduced Trump’s lead by 4,827 votes. Forty minutes later, a vote dump reduced his lead by 4,861 votes. Then 2 hours and 26 minutes later by 4,863. Four hours and 47 minutes later, a vote dump reduced Trump’s lead by 4,864 votes. Biden was coming on strong! Trump’s lead was now only 9,625 votes. It was 10:53 UTC on Nov. 5. Bear in mind that while all this was happening, Trump was gaining votes or holding his own if you ex-clude the vote dumps. Georgia was hanging in the balance, but not for long. Five hours later, a vote dump cut Trump’s lead by 4,891. Five hours after that, a vote dump cut Trump’s lead by another 4,913. At 21:58 UTC on Nov. 5, less than a thousand votes sepa-rated the candidates. An hour later, a vote dump reduced Trump’s lead by 4,916 votes, and two hours and 32 minutes lat-er, the vote dump reduced Trump’s lead by 4,953 votes. The election was tied with each candidate having 2,447,591! At 22:00 UTC, Nov. 6, a vote dump cut Trump’s vote by 4,969, and Biden led 2,454,662 to 2,449,693, a lead of 4,969. The final vote dump came at 23:52 UTC on Nov. 7, when Biden’s lead widened by 4,983! The former Vice President had made an amaz-ing comeback and was now

    Continued from Page 1 leading by 10,000 votes! Of course, the statistical possibility of Biden picking up multiples of 4,800 votes 16 times during this four-day period would be firmly in the impossible range. But it happened. How did it happen? There is no possible expla-nation except vote fraud — fraud by manipulation of computer programs. This is all the more obvi-ous in view of the fact the average of 4,800 or mul-tiples thereof not only hap-pened by adding votes to Biden but also by subtract-ing votes from Trump. The computer had to be pro-grammed to produce net

    votes for Biden without being obvious. And they would have succeeded, if The New York Times had not kept such timely records and if somebody had not done some calculations. The fraud in Georgia is all the more significant when one considers that exactly the same thing hap-pened in Pennsylvania, ex-cept that the computer was programmed to add 6,000 votes at a time instead of 4,800. In both states, the “votes” counted were not the votes of real people. They were simply added digitally, which a complete recount of both states would detect.

    Central Intermediate School and Central Middle School. The renewal would extend the tax by 20 years and provide fund-ing to rebuild Central High School and make major improvements to Wildcat Stadium on Hooper Road. Central schools Supt. Jason Fountain said that, if approved, the tax would fund $22.2 million for the high school and $1.8 million for the stadium. Central High School was built in 1970. Dr. Fountain said the im-provements to Central High School would make it a world class facil-ity. Improvements would include: • Entire interior will be renovat-ed, including all classrooms

    Pennsylvania Also Suffered Vote FraudBut by Multiples of 6,000 or 12,000porting how Central voted. With roughly half of all votes being reported as part of a parishwide total, it is impossible to determine where most votes are com-ing from. In larger states such as Georgia and Pennsylva-nia, which had millions of early votes and mail-in bal-lots, the problem was even greater. The public was told for days after the Nov. 3 election that “votes are still being counted.” However, as new vote totals were up-loaded, neither the public nor the media knew where those votes were from. Fear generated by the vi-rus created an acceptance of the widespread use of mail ballots, but there was no cor-responding effort to insure that those ballots were being collected and counted hon-estly and correctly. On the contrary, some states includ-ing Louisiana, actually re-duced normal security safe-guards on mail-in ballots. In the aftermath of the Nov. 3 vote, the media never told the public how or why it was necessary to still be counting ballot days after Nov 3. The confusion and uncertainty of the “new normal” in elections led to acceptance of votes being uploaded without knowing where they came from. On Election Day, in the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-vania, Donald Trump took an early and commanding lead. By 22:54 UTC Nov. 4, President Trump was lead-ing former Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden by roughly 285,000 votes. However, that began to disappear as someone, somewhere began to dump “votes” into the system. There were 44 sep-arate vote dumps, resulting in 347,768 votes being put into the system — all in in-crements of 6,000, 12,000, or 18,000 additional net votes for Joe Biden. The remarkable consis-tency of the votes added to Joe Biden’s totals has shocked even Democratic office holders who have seen The New York Times’ election data. It was quite a feat for Joe Biden to come back from an election night defeat by 285,000 votes to a 46,000-vote margin of victory four days later. Election fraud has been around a very long time. However, election fraud by computer is some-thing relatively new. This election is proof that much more work will be necessary to insure free and fair elections in the future.

    HHH The initial New York Times data was provided to the Central City News by an anonymous source. The writing and research for this piece was by Central City News editor Woody Jenkins with assistance from Jolice Provost.

    Continued from Page 1

    “We have a person in-side Dominion who has come forward and signed an affidavit that Dominion observed the hundred thou-sand phony ballots that were brought in at four o’clock in the morning on Nov. 5 that were all Biden ballots. “They appeared by ev-ery measure to be phony ballots, since they were brought in the back door, they were not in the proper containers, they were stick-ing out of paper bags and cardboard boxes. (The Dominion insider) was told they were ballots that were needed to ‘catch up to Trump’ because Trump was ‘too far ahead’. When they were counted, they were all counted in fa-vor of Biden. The woman from Dominion testified un-

    der oath that she saw not a single vote for Trump from among these, and she was there for four or five hours. She said it appeared to her to be horribly corrupt, and when she reported it, noth-ing was done about it. She was told it wasn’t any of their business. So that’s why I feel pretty good about our law-suit in Michigan. There’s a 100,000 vote fraud right there (snaps fingers). Do we have other wit-nesses who are somewhat reluctant to come forward right now? Yes. We can probably corroborate this three or four times. So I think they’re fin-ished on that. I think that’s something that actually happened, they brought a hundred thousand votes in, they were all Biden votes. There was not even another vote for another

    Democrat. And it was in-tended because they were panicked because Trump was ahead by much more than they anticipated. The same thing hap-pened in Pennsylvania. It’s inherently impossible to make up for (a margin of) 800,000 votes at 64 per-cent of the votes tallied). You have to cheat to do it. Philadelphia has cheat-ed in every election in the

    last 60 years. Philadelphia has more people who have gone to jail for election fraud than probably any-where else in the coun-try. And it’s all Democrat election fraud, because it’s been controlled by a cor-rupt Democrat machine for the last 60 years. So when they fell behind by 800,000 votes, they went into a state of panic. So they had to shut out all the Republicans. They had to bring in all the phony ballots. We never got to exam-ine over 600,000 ballots, which makes them all un-lawful — Illegal, unlawful, fraud, fraudulent. I doubt the (Supreme) court will allow them to count those ballots. I’m sure the state legislature will not accept those bal-lots in order to certify elec-toral votes.

    CENTRAL — The Central High Wildcats (7-1) will host Live Oak (5-2) this Friday night in the final District 4-5A game of the regular season. Central’s only lost was a narrow one to No. 5-ranked Scot-landville, another 4-5A rival. That game went down to the wire. The season has been abbreviated. Most teams will play eight games or less before playoffs next Friday.

    The Central City News will broadcast Friday night’s game be-tween Central High and Live Oak live from Wildcat Stadium. The game will be hosted by announcer Ken Bush. To watch the game, go to Central City News on Facebook starting at 7 p.m. Friday. On Thursday, the Central City News will broadcast Istrouma at Broadmoor beginning at 7 p.m.

    CENTRAL — Voters in Central will go to the polls next Saturday, Dec. 5 for runoff elections for Mayor-President, two seats on the Metro Council from Central, and a seat on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal. Elsewhere in the parish, there are runoffs for a District Judgeship and several seats on the Metro Council. In the Mayor-President’s race, in-cumbent Sharon Weston Broome, a Democrat, is pitted against chal-lenger former Rep. Steve Carter. Carter recently completed his third and final four-year term in the Lou-isiana House of Representatives. The 1st Circuit race is drawing attention with Baton Rouge attor-ney Melanie Newkome, a Dem-ocrat, facing off against Baton Rouge City Judge Chris Hester, a Republican who is endorsed by the Central City News. In Metro Council Dist. 1, Bran-don Noel, the Republican endorsed candidate, is facing Democrat Eric Lewis. In Dist. 4, Republican Aar-on Moak will face Democrat Tane-ka James. Moak is endorsed by the Central City News. Early voting will start Friday, Nov. 20 and con-tinue on the 21, 23-25, and 28.

    CENTRAL — Rev. Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Central last week filed an application for relief with U.S. Supreme Court As-sociate Justice Samuel Alito. Rev. Spell is one of the few pas-tors in America who has held in-person church services throughout the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, the pastor has been twice arrested, fingerprinted, put in prison, held in contempt of court for refusing to agree not to have church, placed under house arrest, and fitted with an ankle brace-let. The governor has made it his personal crusade to shut down the church, and Mayor-President Sha-ron Weston Broome called on resi-dents not to attend the church. Through it all, Pastor Spell has continued to hold worship services three times a week, more than 100 services since March.

    The services have ranged in size from 400 to 3,000 people, and Rev. Spell says that in that time no one has died or been hospitalized. The application for injunctive relief was filed by Rev. Spell’s at-torney Jeff Wittenbrink, who also represents Danielle Bunch, who owns Firehouse Barbecue in Wat-son. She has also been harassed by Gov. John Bel Edwards. Justice Alito spoke to the Fed-eralist Society last week and said he is concerned because religion is becoming disfavored in this coun-try. He said he is worried over the lost of religious liberty. Jeff Wittenbrink said the justice’s recent remarks indicate the court may be ready to bring a halt to the harassment of churches that began with the pandemic in March. If Justice Alito were to agree to hear the case, it would indicate he

    thinks the entire court would likely favor Life Tabernacle’s position. Mr. Wittenbrink said Rev. Spell’s case could be the kind Justice Alito would like to hear. Rev. Spell told the Central City News, “Our case could be the most important on the First Amendment in the 244-year history of this coun-try. If a governor can shut down churches and forbid them from worshipping, then the First Amend-ment really doesn’t mean much. The Constitution says no law can be made prohibiting the free exer-cise of religion, and there is nothing more basic than the right to go to church. I believe Justice Alito will rule on our behalf. Our case has all the elements they would look for. We have been arrested, harassed, and discriminated against. They have provided far more protectionto WalMart than to the church.”

    Firehouse Barbecue’s Free Thanksgiving WATSON — It has been a difficult year for Danielle Bunch of Fire-house Barbecue in Watson. She purchased the restaurant June 1 and shortly thereafter began being ha-rassed by Gov. John Bel Edwards, who ordered her shut down for not requiring customers to wear a mask. However, Ms. Bunch has stood strong and refused to require masks. The district court enjoined

    the state from enforcing its order. The people of Watson and Cen-tral stood with Ms. Bunch and now she plans to say Thank You. She’s inviting everyone who is alone for Thanksgiving or needs a good meal to come to the restaurant on Hwy. 16 near WalMart between 12 noon and 4 p.m. on Thanksgiv-ing. Everything is free. If you’d liketo help, call her at 504-430-7714.
