In an exclusive interview with the Feliciana Explorer, Dennis Au-coin, President of the East Feliciana Police Jury, noted that his opposi-tion to the recently defeated pro-posal by the School Board to levy a 38 mill tax for the benefit of the school system was based on simple economic factors.
“I’m a graduate of Clinton High School and a strong supporter of public education in East Feliciana Parish, but to ask the people of the parish to almost double their taxes

was just too much,’’ Aucoin ex-plained. “At the present time our total tax millage for the Parish is only 47 mills and to ask for a jump of 38 mills would have had an ad-verse effect on nearly everyone in the Parish, especially our major in-dustries.’’
“Several railroad companies are domiciled in our parish because of our low tax rate,’’ Aucoin, a long-time logging contractor pointed out. “If this school board millage in-crease of 38 mills had passed, some

Retired General Russel Honore’ grew up across the Mississippi River from Port Hudson, and has family ties to the Zachary and Feli-ciana areas. Honore’ attend South-ern University with the intention of becoming a farmer after receiving a B.S. degree in Agricul-ture. However, while at Southern, Honore’ joined the ROTC and received a Commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army upon graduation in 1971.
After a very few years, Honore’ decided that the Army offered him great opportuni-ties to pursue, and 37 years 3 months and 3 days after receiving his Commission, he re-tired as a Lt. General with three stars. General Honore’ is prob-ably best known for his role as the Commanding officer of Joint Task Force Katrina.
Hero of Hurricane Katrina Publishes Book on LeadershipRecently, General Honore’ pub-
lished a book titled Leadership For The New Normal – A Short In Leadership. Written by Lt. Gen-eral Russel L. Honore’, this book is a must read book for everyone, for both business man and mili-
tary personnel, as well as teenagers and college age men and women, and anyone who wants to prepare for their fu-ture in a serious man-ner. The book offers a short course on what we are facing in the future, and the desperate need for true leadership in all walks of life.
At a lecture at the Old State Capitol in Ba-ton Rouge on March 21,
2013, General Honore’ had this to say about his first few minutes on the ground near the Super Dome upon assuming command of the Katrina Task Force:
“I flew in on a Blackhawk heli-copter from an off-shore ship. As soon as I got out of my ride, I saw
all these troops and law enforce-ment walking around with loaded guns pointing at people. I hol-lered, what are you guys, stupid, these people need help not intimi-dation.’’
He recalled a recent incident whereby he was speaking to stu-dents at a Louisiana University.
General Honore’, in his book, Leadership in the New Normal which he calls a “A Short Course,’’ touches on many of the basic qual-ities of true leadership and its role in the future. His dedication of the book is: “I dedicate this book to the people of the United States of America, to those who understand that freedom isn’t free, that it is based on selfless service to oth-ers. And I salute those who are earnestly committed to lifting up all of humankind, in our country and around the world.’’
In his nine chapter book, Gen-eral Honore’ makes two profound statements, which in my opin-ion are game changers in what we know as leadership. First he says: “We are born free by good fortune. To live free is a privi-
lege. To die free is an obligation. Each American has the obligation to keep America free for the next generation.’’
The second principle that jumped out at me was his descrip-tion of leadership characteristics using an Army axiom, “Your audio and your video must match!’’
In less than 200 pages, General Honore’ has articulated a world of common sense dynamic principles of leadership in any walk of life including family life. Although the General characterizes marriage and family life as “collaboration,’’ he emphasizes the need for leader-ship in a family and for it to func-tion as a well-oiled machine.
In fact the last chapter of his book is titled: “Save your best leadership for when you get home.’’
The General’s key points in this final chapter of the book are: (1). Be careful not to spend so much time and energy in provid-ing for your family that you lose your family. (2). Leading at work

is easy compared to leading at home. (3). A family has a mission to work as a team. Families need leading because kids need teach-ing. A parent’s proper role is to lead, to teach and build a strong family unit. (4). Parents should r e m e m b e r : When you walk in your front door, you’re not in command but in collabora-tion. (5). Par-ents shouldn’t try to lead their families like of-ficers command-ing their troops; however, The Warrior Ethos used in the mili-tary works well to build a strong family team.
After a short introduction, General Honore’ has titled the next 8 chapters in his short course on leadership: 1. The nature of leadership; 2. The first three lessons of leadership; 3. The New Normal, the global environ-ment; 4. Your job is your mission; 5. Decision superiority; 6. The true purpose of business; 8. Earn-ing your subordinates’ loyalty and investing in their success.
General Honore’ also added a “Sources’’ section to the book along with a “Reference’’ section and an Index.
Lt. General Russel Honore has had a distinguished Military and Post Military career. In addition to leading the U.S. Dept. of Defense response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, he was a com-manding general in the Middle East and in Korea. He served in a variety of command and staff po-
sitions focused on Defense Support of Civil Authori-ties and Home-land Defense. A highly deco-rated soldier, he received nu-merous awards and medals, including the Defense Dis-tinguished Ser-vice Medal, Legion of Mer-it, Bronze Star, Global War on Terrorism Ser-vice Medal and Kuwait Libera-
tion Medal. Today he is a busi-ness consultant, public speaker, Senior Scientist for the Gallup Organization, and CNN contribu-tor on topics related to disaster preparedness. He holds a B.S. Degree in Vocational Agriculture from Southern University and an M.A. in Human Resources from Troy State. A native of Lakeland, La. in Pointe Coupee Parish, he and his wife Beverly have lived in Zachary, but currently reside in Baton Rouge. They have four grown children.

Acupuncture Seminar Set for Lane HospitalFor thousands of years, the Chi-
nese and other Eastern peoples have been using acupuncture to restore, promote and maintain good health. To the Chinese today, it is as much the norm to see an acupuncturist or doctor of traditional Chinese medi-cine as it is for us to visit our own physicians. For most Westerners, however, considering acupuncture for the first time raises many ques-tions.
Join Ashley Johnson, Licensed Acupuncturist, for an “Introduction to Acupuncture” on Thursday, April 25, at 6 p.m., in the Staff Develop-ment Classroom at Lane Regional
Medical Center in Zachary. A native of Zachary, Johnson
attended the Texas College of Tra-ditional Chinese Medicine in Aus-tin where she received her Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine. She is board certified by the National Acu-puncture Licensure Board, National Certification Commission of Acu-puncture and Oriental Medicine, and in the state of Louisiana. John-son founded Bon Point Acupuncture and Herbs in 2010.

of those companies would probably have moved their domicile to an-other parish, further weakening our economic base.’’
“With the timber industry in a prolonged slump and sales taxes down across the board for the last few years, this was just the wrong time to bring such a proposal to a vote,’’ Aucoin added. “I’m not sur-prised that the proposed 38 mills was defeated by a 3 to 1 margin because enough people realized the adverse effects that such a tax would have on the parish,’’ Aucoin, who is serving his second term on the Police Jury noted. “A lot of business people were watching the outcome of the election.’’
“Just in the last couple of days since the election, we have had a major barge company domicile in the parish that would not have done so, had the school board tax passed,’’ Aucoin acknowledged. “A little portion of our parish touches the Mississippi River southwest of Port Hudson.’’
“Once a company domiciles in your parish, they are there by law for a minimum of two years,’’ Au-coin explained. “We can’t afford to lose any of our tax base.’’
“To my knowledge, not one of the people pushing the school board tax issue ever came to the Jury and asked us what we thought about the increase in millage and how it would affect the parish,’’ Aucoin emphasized. “At the present time, East Feliciana has the lowest mill-age in the state.’’
TAX INCREASE continued from page 1
“When I came on the Police Jury five years ago, and was appointed Chairman of the Finance Commit-tee, I was astonished at how bad a shape the parish was in financial-ly,’’ Aucoin stated. “It has taken us five years of hard work, cutting out all the waste, and intense planning to turn the corner financially with the Police Jury,’’ Aucoin elaborat-ed. “But we have shown people in the Parish that the Jury can still be effective operating in a very lean responsible manner.’’
“I think that if the School Board had taken a different approach and first asked the Jury and other mu-nicipalities in the Parish how much of a millage increase could the businesses and people in the Parish handle without causing financial difficulty, then put the proposal up to a vote, the outcome might have been different,’’ Aucoin empha-sized.
“I also think that if the School Board had really got their house in order financially and was operating as effectively as possible with the millage they had coming in, then laid out a specific plan for what they needed to improve our school system, that might have changed the outcome too,’’ Aucoin, who is also Chairman of the Loan Com-mittee of Landmark Bank added.
“If the East Feliciana School Board wants to improve our school system in a responsible manner at a reasonable millage, I would sug-gest that they get all the elected of-ficials in the parish on board with their plan, and thoroughly explain it the people, and then put it to a vote,’’ Aucoin concluded.

Lane Regional Hospital Earns Quality Respiratory Care Recognition for 7th Year
Lane Regional Medical Center has earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a nation-al program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals.
This is the 7th straight year Lane Regional has earned this prestigious award. Approximately 700 hospitals in the U.S. (about 15%) received this award. Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of cri-teria governing their respiratory care services.
To quality for recognition, Lane Regional provided documentation showing it meets the following condi-tions:
• All respiratory therapists em-ployed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential.
• Respiratory therapists are avail-able 24 hours.
• Other personnel qualified to per-form specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision re-quired for personnel to carry out spe-cific procedures must be designated in writing.
• A doctor of medicine or osteopa-thy is designated as medical director
of respiratory care services.• Hospital policy prohibits the
routine delivery of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume neb-ulizers, metered dose inhalers, or inter-mittent positive pressure treatments to multiple patients simultaneously. Cir-cumstances under which this practice is permitted is defined by policy.
• Use a process that periodically compares performance of your respi-ratory department on efficiency and quality metrics with similar depart-ments for the purpose of identifying an achieving best practice.
“I am very proud of our Respira-tory Therapists for providing the ex-ceptional care this award reflects,” said Mike Hlavac, RRT, director of Lane Rehab Services.
Respiratory therapists are specially trained health care professionals who work under physician’s orders to pro-vide a wide range of breathing treat-ments and other services to people with asthma, chronic obstructive pul-monary disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS and other lung or lung-related conditions. They also care for premature infants and are key mem-bers of lifesaving response teams.
The QRCR program was started in 2003 by the American Association for Respiratory Care, a membership organization representing more than 50,000 health professionals involved in respiratory care nationwide.
