School Board Honors Retirees, Students and StaffBy Jen Bayhi-Gennaro
As the number of days in the school year grows smaller, the length of the School Board meetings grows longer. On Tuesday, May 5, there were so many people in attendance for awards and recognition that the Board members set up a separate “holding room” in the conference room so people could wait their turn to enter the meeting.
But first, Superintendent Devillier and the Board met at 6 p.m. for their work session. First up on the agenda was the personnel update, reporting resignations, transfers, retirements and positions to be filled. During the discussion, Board member Hu-bie Owen stated, for the record, that “no permanent employee or teacher has lost their job” because of budget cuts.
Next up was discussion to adopt the millage rate for 2015 property taxes. The consensus was that the
Hwy. 64 Widening Project to Begin this Week
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) plans to begin construction this week to widen LA 64, or Main Street., between McHugh Rd. and the LA 19 intersection. The widen-ing project will add a center lane for vehicles to make left turns into busi-nesses.
The project schedule will require one lane to be closed in each direc-tion, Monday – Thursday, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Friday from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday, and Saturday 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday. The project is expected to take approximately 300 days to complete. DOTD offi-cials say that the primary reason for the widening project is to improve public safety.
Residents are encouraged to use the new bypass which serves as an alternative connection to, or from Hwy. 19 @ Bob Odom Drive through its intersection north of Hwy. 64, @ Montegudo Boulevard.

Mary Landry Brings Banners and Signs By Design to Main StreetBy Jen Bayhi-Gennaro
Mary Landry with Banners & Signs by Design has set up shop on Main Street in Zachary in a 1600 square-foot shop, after over a decade of running her suc-cessful business out of her kitchen and living room.
Formerly, an eight-foot printing table took up her entire kitchen. “I kind of wake up and say, has this really happened? Am I really having all this space to have a home instead of a shop?” Landry laughs.
Located in the same building as Vertu boutique, Banners & Signs by Design has enough rooms for a dedicated space for each stage of the process. From the front display and meeting room, to the printing and laminating spaces, to the pickup and delivery area, Landry’s new office helps increase her efficiency to continue to serve her loyal client base.
From for sale signs in yards, to vi-nyl banners outside schools, to magnetic signs on buses, to aluminum signs out-side businesses, much of the beautiful
wanted to own his own business. He had kept mentioning opening a sign com-pany. I didn’t want to do that. In pray-ing about this, the Lord showed me that I needed to submit to my husband and open a sign company,” Landry said.
She and her husband of 40 years and counting both had experience in this area, having worked for Denver Sign Company. Two years later, Landry, a former administrator at a Bible College, opened Banners & Signs by Design, and it has grown year after year without any advertising.
Her husband Dave, now semi-retired, is at the shop with her two days a week. They are the parents of two grown sons who live out of town, and grandparents three times over.
“Eleven and a half years later, be-cause of the people of Zachary and friends and referrals, my business has grown exponentially,” Landry says. “It’s about submission to what God’s will is for you,” she says.
signage around Zachary is the work of Landry. Customers include not only local Realtors, the city and the school system, to name a few, but Landry also has an out-of-state client base. Thanks to referrals of past and present customers, Landry has shipped products to 16 different states.
The company’s journey to its pres-ent state began around the turn of the century, when Landry says the Lord impressed upon her heart a scripture that showed her to trust in the Lord, and He would make her husband’s desires and her desires align. “Dave has always

Lemonade Day Across ZacharyKids get a sweet taste of running a small business
Lemonade stands were set up all around Zachary on Satur-day, May 2 to empower today’s youth to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. Over 50 stands were set up in the Americana Subdivision alone. It is estimated that over 13,000 different lemonade stands were set up across Louisiana on May 2.
The Louisiana Lemonade Day is sponsored by Rasing Cane’s Chicken Finger restaurants, and their founder Todd Graves. Graves chose to be in Zachary on the Louisiana Lemonade Day to spend the day with all of the budding local entrepreneurs.

SCHOOL BOARD continued from page 1property tax renewal would be ac-complished under the provisions of assessing the same millage as for the 2014 property taxes. Board mem-ber Gwen Fuselier asked if it was possible to roll the millage down to pay off bonds at a faster rate than 20 years, and Gordon Robertson replied that the only way to pay off bonds early is to refinance, which is what they were doing at the meeting, or to collect more money in one year than they need.
The bottom line of the bond reso-lution is that the Board will realize a net savings of 1,095,000 from the refinancing of the 2005 and 2006 is-sued bonds—and Zachary taxpayers will pay that much less thanks to the pure profit from the refinance.
After the Pledge of Allegiance, recited by Eagle Scout Luke Mon-dello, the awards and recogni-tion portion of the meeting began. It started with the recognition of Young Author’s Writing Contest winners, nine of whom placed at the state level.
Kyla Bates was then recognized as one of eight finalists in the Na-tional Poetry Out Loud Competi-tion. When receiving her award at the meeting, she was put on the spot to recite a poem, and she hap-pily rose to the occasion. Bates flaw-lessly recited “For The Young Who Want To,” a poem by Marge Piercy, and received a well-deserved round of applause.
The Board recognized the out-standing support employees and outstanding substitute employees. Oliver Humble was recognized not only as the outstanding bus driver of the year for Zachary Elementary, but also as district-wide bus driver of the year. He and others were praised for their dedication to the children, the community and the schools.
The room cleared out a bit to al-low space for the retirees and their loved ones to take a seat. As each
retiree was called out, their respec-tive school’s principal gave a word of admiration and plenty of tears.
Donna Kline, longtime freshman academy coordinator at ZHS, gave a brief speech. “I fell in love with Zachary High in 1980. I’ve been
there 35 years. I’ve taught so many of you, I’ve worked with all of you. I’m going to miss it. My mother was an educator and she always said you’ll know when it’s time to go, and I’m feeling that it’s time. Thank you, thank all of you,” she said.

Rep. Kenny Havard Hosts District 62 Day at the CapitolState Representative Kenny Har-
vard’s district, District 62, includes East and West Feliciana Parishes and part of Zachary. Havard reminds his constituents that when he ran for office—and even before—he cited as a major goal bringing together the people of District 62 as a ma-jor economic development region.
To celebrate all that his district has to offer, Havard decided to bring the Feli-cianas and Zachary to the Capitol at the end of the Legislative session. There, at the Pentagon Barracks, on Tuesday, May 5, elected local officials, educators, busi-nesspeople and their products, restaurants and their cuisine, artists, musicians, his-toric site managers in period costume—everyone came together to showcase 62, to introduce the legislators and their staffs to the generous, talented, industrious, funloving residents of the Felicianas and Zachary.
Havard extends his thanks, he says, to the local Chambers of Commerce, to Di-rector Audrey Faciane of East Feliciana’s Chamber and Director Kerry Everitt of West’s, who organized the participants and the contributors and their offerings.
Everitt also credited the West Feli-ciana Tourist Commission and the Eco-nomic Development Board.
“A special thanks to all of our busi-nesses and local elected officials from the Felicianas and Zachary,” Havard said, “and to all the many volunteers. I look forward to our moving forward and all working together as a region. Together we have a lot to offer. I’m proud to repre-sent such a great district!”
Knowing that naming all who con-tributed to and participated in the event would be impossible, organizers have done their best at least to indicate the
Enterprises in Jackson for sharing wine from local vineyards. Food? Richard Oliveaux of Roadside Bar-B-Q, which serves Havard’s entire district, provided a roast pig complete with potato salad and baked beans.
Rising to the culinary challenge were, from St. Francisville: Nasser Al Dallel of Al Aqaba, St. Francisville’s new Lebanese restaurant, who served hummus and pita; Lori Gore of Audubon’s Café, Fiesty Feta Dip; Kaine and Beth Pace of the Carriage House, Kaine’s White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Chocolate Sauce; Tip and Beth Pace of Feliciana Seafood Market and Deli, Homemade Linked Boudin and Deer Sausage; Robin Marshall of Mag-nolia Café, famous homemade choco-late chip and oatmeal and raisin cookies; Rhonda Sutherland of Que Pasa, South-west Eggrolls and Avocado Ranch Dip-ping Sauce; Jeff Warren of The Bluffs, Bacon Wrapped Chicken Fingers with Sweet Pepper Glaze; and Greg Martinez of The Francis Smokehouse and Deli, Boudin Balls.
From East Feliciana, sharing the Vet-erans Memorial project, was the Jackson Tourism Enhancement Committee.
Wanda Perry of Gentle Hands and Patsy Bueche of Details and Rentals pro-moted their East Feliciana businesses.
From Zachary, adding their beauty to the occasion were newly-crowned Miss Zachary and ZFest for 2015 Katlyn Riles and pre-teen winner Nalon Souleau.
So many contributed that naming each one is truly impossible.
The group that gathered at the Penta-gon Barracks on May 5 demonstrated not only the willingness to join forces to pro-mote Havard’s district but the boundless enthusiasm that promises great fun along the way to increased prosperity.
number of people who represented the district at the Capitol, citing educators Hollis Milton, superintendent of schools in West Feliciana, whose students con-tinue to score in the top levels of nearly every measurement they encounter, and Johnny Arceneaux, who is headquar-tered in Jackson and serves as Director of Workforce Development for Baton Rouge Community College. Representa-tives of East Feliciana schools, now wel-coming new Superintendent Carlos Sam, reported proudly the amazingly rapid advancement of their district over the last two and a half years.
West Feliciana Parish President Kevin Couhig brought his Parish Gov-ernment team, as well as Parish Council Chair Heather Howle and Council Mem-bers John Kean and Mel Percy.
Representing the musicians of the area was the group The Fugitive Poets. Among the mayors were Robbie Jack-son of Slaughter, Lori Bell of Clinton, Billy D’Aquilla of St. Francisville—and David Amrhein of Zachary, along with Zachary Councilmen Tommy Womack and Trae Welch, who contributed pork loin, cookies and cake. East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Talmadge Bunch was on hand, as were the gentlemen of the Great-er Baton Rouge Model Railroad based in Jackson. Among bed and breakfast hosts was Cynthia Beauvais of St. Gemme de Beauvais in Ethel. Clinton’s Stephanie and Sharon Roucon displayed the jew-elry they create and offer for sale at the many area town market days.

Three Legged Dog Wins Prettiest Dog Contest at Library
Recently John Johnson’s husky “Bleu” won 1st place at the Zachary Branch Library in the Prettiest Dog Category. Bleu is a beautiful dog, but the most notable thing about her is that she only has three legs. “She was born that way. As a pup, Bleu’s own mother re-jected her. A friend of mine in Clinton gave her to me, because no one else wanted her. People know me for my dog. She’s always in the back of my truck with me and people gather around and take pictures of her. I am so excited that she won this contest. It goes to show that she went from a dog that no one wanted, now everyone loves her. She’s the best dog. She has been my shoulder to cry on since I lost my wife a month ago,” said Johnson.

Lane Regional Medical Center has earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a na-tional program aimed at helping pa-tients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals.
This is the 9th straight year Lane Regional has earned this prestigious recognition. Only 15% of hospitals in the United States received this award.
Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services.
To qualify for recognition, Lane Regional provided documentation showing it meets the following con-ditions:
• All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respi-ratory care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential.
• Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours.
• Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory proce-dures and the amount of supervision required for personnel to carry out specific procedures must be desig-nated in writing.
• A doctor of medicine or os-teopathy is designated as medical director of respiratory care services.
• Hospital policy prohibits the routine delivery of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume nebulizers, metered dose in-halers, or intermittent positive pres-sure treatments to multiple patients simultaneously. Circumstances un-der which this practice is permitted is defined by policy.
• Use a process that periodi-cally compares performance of your respiratory department on efficiency and quality metrics with similar de-partments for the purpose of identi-fying 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 Therapy Services.
Lane Regional Medical Center has Earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition
Respiratory therapists are spe-cially trained health care profes-sionals who work under physician’s orders to provide a wide range of breathing treatments and other ser-vices to people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cys-tic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS and other lung or lung-related condi-tions. They also care for premature infants and are key members of life-saving response teams.
The QRCR program was started in 2003 by the American Associa-tion for Respiratory Care, a mem-bership organization representing more than 50,000 health profession-als involved in respiratory care na-tionwide.

Food Addicts Anonymous Support Group Now Available
Lane Regional Medical Center is pleased to host Food Addicts Anonymous, a weekly support group to provide fellow-ship for men and women willing to recov-er from the disease of food addiction.
This free, 12-step program support group will kick off on Thursday, May 14th and will be held every Thursday in May, from 5:30-6:30 p.m., in the West Wing Conference Room at Lane Regional Med-ical Center, 6300 Main Street in Zachary. All are welcome to attend.
Food Addicts Anonymous (FAA) is an organization that believes food addiction is a biochemical disorder that occurs at a cellular level and therefore cannot be cured by willpower or by therapy alone.
Many food addicts are obese and have tried numerous methods for weight con-trol (diets, drugs, surgery, etc.) yet nothing has created a permanent solution. Other food addicts have never been obese - their physical weight has been controlled by extreme measures such as excessive ex-ercise, purging through vomiting or laxa-tives (bulimia), or severe limiting of food substances (anorexia). All of these symp-toms become more severe with time and eventually lead to physical problems that can create an early and sometimes painful death.
FAA is self-supporting. There are no dues or fees required for membership, but only a desire to stop eating addictive foods. FAA not affiliated with any diet or weight loss programs, treatment facilities or reli-gious organizations.
