Bookstore weathers storms, expands

BY FRANCES Y. SPENCER Contributing writer

Walking past The Conundrum in May 2020 offered a snapshot of quiet resilience.

Owner Missy Couhig stood at her open door, flanked by her two loyal golden retrievers, a warm smile radiating from beneath her face mask. To minimize contact during the height of the COVCouhig ID-19 lockdowns, she had creatively pivoted, turning her bestselling books and puzzles outward to face the street so shoppers could browse and buy without ever stepping foot inside.

Small businesses everywhere were caught in a profound conundrum: how to keep their doors open when the world had effectively shut down.

At a moment of true frailty, St. Francisville proved strong. The community launched St. Francisville Strong, an initiative created when most nonessential businesses were shuttered. It provided a website where locals could browse town businesses and purchase gift certificates to be used once those storefronts eventually reopened.

For Couhig, it was an economic lifeline.

She was one of several local business owners who found safe ways to do business while simultaneously weathering

3 renewals, 1 new tax on Nov. 3 ballot

BY JAMES MINTON Contributing writer

West Feliciana Parish voters who go to the polls Nov. 3 will be asked to renew three property taxes collected by the parish government.

Voters will also see a sales tax proposition that is almost, but not quite, a renewal request because of an apparent oversight and a technicality in the parish’s home-rule charter.

Attorney Dannie Garrett told the Parish Council at its June 8 meeting that a half-cent sales tax now being collected to support recreation and parks activities will be on the ballot, but it cannot be styled as a tax renewal because the tax now being collected will expire Sept. 30.

If voters support the sales tax, it will be collected again for seven years, starting on Jan. 1.

Up to 25% of the sales tax revenue also can be used for social services and programs.

Garrett said the tax could not have been put on the ballot last year because the home-rule charter requires voting on tax propositions at the same time as congressional or gubernatorial elections.

The year 2025 had neither.

The tax could have been put up for renewal in 2023 or 2024, but no one, including the parish’s bond attorneys, realized then that the charter would prohibit the vote in 2025.

The property taxes that will be on the ballot are: n A 0.5-mill levy for 10 years to support the parish hospital. n A 1-mill tax to support the parish health unit, animal control services, mosquito abatement, garbage collection and the coroner’s office. n An 8.89-mill tax, with 50% of the revenue dedicated to roads, bridges

Young baseball players hone skills at summer camp

BY RICHARD MEEK Contributing writer

For 8-year-old Harrison Walker, two days outside under an early summer sun learning the game he loves were a dream come true.

Harrison, a passionate baseball fan, joined more than 50 of his peers ranging in age from 7-13 participating in the West Feliciana Baseball Camp held June 2-3 at the school’s stadium.

But his motivation was more than just spending two days honing his batting and fielding chops.

“I want to be like (LSU standout shortstop Steve) ‘Monster’ Milam,” he said.

Milam is generally considered to be one of the best shortstops in college baseball.

From a player development perspective, Harrison said two of the most important tips he learned was how to hustle and “not to drift to the baseball when it’s hit in the air.”

West Feliciana coach Gannon Achord, his staff and select players put on the camp, providing an opportunity for the youngsters to advance their own knowledge of the game while having fun with friends in the St. Francisville community.

St. Francisville board considering doubling sewer rates

BY JAMES MINTON

Contributing writer

Work on St. Francisville’s new sewage treatment plant is substantially complete, and the Board of Aldermen will consider more than doubling sewer rates at an upcoming meeting.

Mayor Andy D’Aquilla said at a June 9 meeting the rate increase is necessary to have enough funds to maintain the system over the coming years.

The town built a mechanical sewage treatment plant to replace oxidation ponds that were often flooded by the Mississippi River, violating environmental standards. Funding for the project was secured in 2020 when voters approved a half-cent sales tax.

The work included filling in the

oxidation ponds under state supervision, a project that is now complete, engineer Bianca Hillhouse told the mayor and Board of Aldermen.

What’s left is paying the contractor’s final invoice and formally surrendering the permit under which the oxidation ponds were operated, Hillhouse said.

The board agreed to introduce an ordinance for consideration July 14 that sets new sewer user fees.

According to the proposed ordinance and the current rate schedule posted through the town’s website, the fee for a residential customer in town would go from $16 to $32.80 per month. The fee for a residential customer living outside of town would rise from $20 to $41 per month.

Small business customers’ flat

rate for the first 2,000 gallons of water used in the building will go from $20 to $41, with the additional usage charge per 1,000 gallons of water going from $1.25 to $2.56.

Large business rates would go from $50 to $102.50 for the first 2,000 gallons of water used on the premises and the fee for each extra 1,000 gallons of water used going from $1.25 to $2.56.

The proposed ordinance also sets a new rate, a $410 per month flat rate for the parish hospital, and adds language authorizing rate increases based on the Consumer Price Index.

If the ordinance passes, the mayor and town clerk could set increases up to 3% while the board would have to approve rate increases of more than 3 percent.

D’Aquilla said the proposed or-

dinance results from a sewer rate study similar to those done for the town’s gas and water systems.

The half-cent sales tax expires in 2036, and the rate increase will provide funds to maintain the sewer system beyond that, the mayor said.

On another matter, the board introduced an ordinance to issue $425,000 in bonds payable with sales tax revenue to pay off the debt on a new fire truck the town recently bought. The board also agreed with D’Aquilla’s suggestion to donate a surplus 1988 pumper fire truck and a 1992 rescue truck to the Sicily Island Fire Department to clear them from the town’s insurance coverage.

D’Aquilla said the Sicily Island department is in dire need of the equipment, according to his con-

versation with the village’s mayor.

The mayor and board also honored Jeff Soulier, who came to St. Francisville in 1976 and has operated a barbershop in several locations since then.

Soulier and his wife, Cindy, will observe 51 years of marriage next month, and he is an active participant in church and community affairs, the town’s proclamation says.

The board also authorized the mayor to contract with IGEO Consulting to create digital maps for the gas, water and sewer systems for $32,000. D’Aquilla said the company will digitize a number of fragile paper maps dating from the 1960s that show where the town’s utility lines are located.

He also noted several key employees with knowledge of the systems are nearing retirement.

members who have resigned since April McGhee, which Councilman John Thompson said was concerning to him.

Council member Tab Ballard said the resignations may have stemmed from “frustration” linked to the commission operating without a director for months. The commission recently hired McGehee, a former employee of Temple Design in St. Francisville.

Young baseball players take part in the West Feliciana Baseball Camp June 2-3 at the high school’s stadium.

CAMP

Continued from page 1G “The camp offered instruction from experienced coaches, position-specific situations and game play, all in an action-packed, unique Saints baseball experience,” said Achord, who led West Feliciana to the playoffs their past year.

He said campers embraced the opportunity to train on the stadium’s state-of-the-art turf infield and hit in the Saints newly renovated batting cage.

They were also given full access

to the team’s clubhouse, which Achord said left an impression on the campers.

“I wanted to work with the high school players,” 12-year-old Abram Laird said.

Also he had a desire to improve his own skills and have an enjoyable two days with friends.

Burns Robinson, 9, most enjoyed hitting in the batting cages, squaring off against pitchers several years his senior. He said he learned lessons from being at the plate as well as in the field.

“I learned to come into a ground like an airplane and not a helicopter,” he said, citing one of the many

valuable tips he will likely take into next season.

The camp staff included Ashon Martin, Kevin Laird, rising seniors Preston Bennett and Hollier Pierreless, rising junior Parker Garlinghouse and rising sophomores Roddy Lemoine and Jackson Maxwell.

West Feliciana finished the season 26-16 overall and was 5-3 in District 6-4A play.

The Saints dropped a three-game series against Lutcher in the quarterfinal round of the state playoff.

West Feliciana won the opener 3-1 that included an RBI from Bennett before losing its final two games.

Modern bookstore conundrum

Visitors also watched as the thirsty geese scooped up water and then tilted their necks up and back to drink water that was offered.

Various sized rabbits, tortoises and colorful chickens were popular to hold. There were two turkeys and a sheep on hand. The only word of caution heard was for the turkeys. Caretakers answered questions from curious children and adults. With encouragement from parents or others, even some of the more reluctant children eventually and shyly petted the softs llamas and bunnies.

Before and after mingling with the animals, children and adults cooled off inside the library. Washing hands was a priority for post-

Today, independent bookstores face an entirely different conundrum. Even as pandemic restrictions have lifted, brick-and-mortar bookshops continue to navigate a treacherous and highly competitive retail landscape.

Combined with a reported decline in reading rates among younger demographics, these economic pressures have pushed many beloved, small independent shops across the country into a corner, forcing them to quietly shutter their doors. Operating a small bookstore in a digital age is an ongoing conundrum of its own.

Surviving and thriving

Couhig, however, has weathered this second storm with flying colors. Today, her store has not only survived the shifting retail climate, but it is thriving.

Having been operational for more than 10 years, The Conundrum recently took a major step forward, expanding its footprint to match its growing community presence.

The bookstore recently underwent a significant expansion and renovation. The upgraded space now includes a new kitchen, dedicated office space, an inventory storeroom and a patio garden with seating area.

“We were able to add a kitchen, so what we did today with the food was very easy to do,” Couhig said. “I’m not on a folding table on my desk anymore. I’m able to have a refrigerator with food and, and get things done, and then Tuesday we’re going to move in my furniture from my office in New Orleans, since I closed that two years ago. I can get out of the bookstore sometimes to get things done when the ladies are working, but being there is my favorite part.”

These upgrades aren’t just for retail operations; they are designed for the people of St. Francisville. The Conundrum now regularly hosts community events, author signings, and local book clubs in its newly renovated areas.

In an industry where keeping a small business alive often feels like an impossible riddle, Couhig has proven that with a little community support and a lot of heart, even the toughest conundrum can be solved.

Programs seek to grow healthy children at Bains Lower Elementary Community news report Each year, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students at Bains Lower Elementary take part in garden enhanced nutrition education.

Every month, children team up with Play 60 coaches Lanya Mayer, Mary Glen Miller and Anna McEvers, along with LSU AgCenter Nutrition Agent Layne Langley, during their Play 60 classes. The children learn how to be healthy from the inside out though the OrganWise Guys curriculum and about healthy foods while caring for 10 raised garden beds, exploring how plants grow, how food gets to their plates, and how to make smart choices using MyPlate.

The new year kicked off with the children learning all about fruits and vegetables. The pre-K students continued their lessons with the OrganWise Guys, plush organs that help teach healthy habits.

They listened to the “Concentrating on Fruits & Vegetables” story and played Hot Banana, tossing a plush banana to classmates while naming a new fruit or vegetable each time.

Kindergarteners also explored fruits and veggies, learning about their health benefits, Vitamins A and C, and the many forms we can find them in — fresh, frozen, canned and dried. They discovered humans eat all parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves and flowers. To wrap up the lesson, all students took part in a fruit and veggie relay. In teams, they raced to draw a fruit or vegetable that matched the color of the crayon they were given.

In February, the pre-K students learned about “Taking a Healthy Fitness Break” with the OrganWise Guys. The lesson encouraged them to move their bodies, even during the TV commercials.

Kindergarteners focused on the grains food group, learning the difference between refined grains and whole grains. The kindergarteners took part in a Great Grain Obstacle Course rotating through grain themed stations and exercises like Spaghetti Stretches and Rice Run. Pre K and kindergarten students enjoyed cardio drumming session using pool noodles and pipe insulation as drumsticks.

The children were also able to harvest and taste radishes from their raised beds.

Dairy was the nutrition topic for March. The pre-K children learned what it means to save in their bone banks, having listened to the OrganWise Guys Bone Bank Savings story. They were taught which foods provide calcium which is needed for strong bones.

The kindergarteners also learned about dairy, discussing what foods are in this group, as well as how milk gets from the farm to the fridge, what it means to be lactose-intolerant, and what non-dairy foods provide calcium.

Both levels had a milk jug relay, practicing skills of over the head and under. And the children planted squash, cucumber and basil transplants in the beds.

During April, the pre-K children listened to the OrganWise Guys “All Hearts Need Love.” They were reminded of the need to move more for a healthy heart. After the lesson, the children played

The kindergarteners learned about the protein food group, which was the last food group on the MyPlate. They learned protein foods help build muscle and can come from plants or animal sources. They participated in I Spy Protein, working in teams to identify a protein food from a poster once they heard clues that described the foods.

The kindergarteners also took part in a protein food relay where they identified if their food card was from a plant or animal protein Marcelo Martinez harvests a large source. radish.

The pre-K and kindergarteners were able to sample radish pods.

Each pre-K child was awarded 4 Corners, racing to four colored dots until the counter/caller chose an OrganWise Guys certificate, a random OrganWise Guy plush while kindergartens were awardcorresponding to one of the col- ed MyPlate certificates.

After the last lesson, kindergarten children were given a post program survey to complete. This survey helps determine what the children learned, how to improve future programs, and documents program impact.

In May, Play 60 coach Lanya Mayer used fresh mint from the garden to make refreshing spa popsicles with lemon juice, water and strawberries. Mayer spoke about staying hydrated and shared how she made the popsicles.

The Feliciana Master Gardeners provides seeds, transplants and soil for the beds.

Lane Home Health names Lori Guidry as director of nursing Community news report Lane Home Health has announced the promotion of registered nurse Lori Guidry to director of nursing.

Guidry brings more than 20 years of healthcare experience and 16 years of service to Lane Guidry Home Health into her new leadership role, according to a news release.

Guidry most recently served as clinical manager and acting director of nursing, overseeing daily operations for an agency serving hundreds of patients and leading a team of more than 25 clinical staff members, according to the release.

In previous roles at Lane Home Health, Guidry developed and implemented the agency’s nurse liaison program and helped grow the patient census through relationship-building, education and community outreach. Her experience includes staff development, quality improvement initiatives, survey readiness, operational oversight and interdisciplinary team leadership.

“Lane Home Health has always felt like family to me,” Guidry said. “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue serv-

ing our patients, staff and community in this role. Home health is truly my passion, and I look forward to continuing to build on the strong foundation our team has created while ensuring our patients receive compassionate, high-quality care in the comfort of their homes.”

Allyson Bennett, MSN, RN, chief nursing officer, said Guidry’s experience and leadership made her the ideal choice for the position.

“Lori has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, clinical expertise, and a genuine commitment to both our patients and staff,” Bennett said. “Her deep understanding of home health operations, dedication to quality care, and passion for serving others make her an outstanding leader for Lane Home Health.

We are excited to see her continue to lead and grow the agency in this new role.”

Guidry earned her associate degree in nursing from Our Lady of the Lake College and began her healthcare career as a licensed practical nurse after graduating from Louisiana Technical College.

Outside of work, Guidry enjoys traveling with her husband, Mickey, and spending time with their four children — Kip, Skylar, Jase and Berklee — and their two granddaughters, Kylie and Karsyn.

Fifth Sunday service offers music, a message

BY MELINDA RAWLS HOWELL Contributing writer

It’s a tradition that’s been around for quite a while — a Fifth Sunday gathering of members from several denominations of Christian churches in Jackson.

The program for May 31 was planned to be one where the music was the message and joy was present, according to Dianne Parker, spokesperson and member of the Jackson United Methodist Church, which hosted the event.

In recent years, the Jackson churches that have participated and have taken turns hosting the services have been the Second Baptist Church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and the JUMC. The May 31 service was a musical program titled “Singspiration.”

Music was performed by members of seven churches with additional church congregations represented in the audience.

The Rev. Michael Munro, pastor at JUMC, welcomed all and turned the program over to Parker who introduced each group as they performed. The hymns/songs varied and ranged from some that were very old and traditional to others that were newer and contemporary.

In addition to the voices, the music flowed from the piano, violin, guitars, banjo and recorded music accompaniment.

Members of the JUMC choir sang first, featuring young Lyla Carter.

They were accompanied by pianist/ director Rhonda Tomb. Choir members included Debbie Kula, Jerry Kay White, Kathy Welch, Linda Karam and Rhonda Kent.

Terry Craighead and Ronnie Albritton, from the Plains Presbyterian Church, were next up. Identifying themselves as bluegrass musicians/singers, they offered up two older songs. Following them were two more JUMC members, Vanessa Mendel and son, Tony, who played an older hymn and a newer song.

Sandy Smith, Nannette Stevens and Modest Gullege, from the Second Baptist Church, performed two numbers including one with a patriotic and religious message — about liberty from America and love from Jesus.

Next was Ricky Lee from Lighthouse Pentecostal Church, of McManus, with two songs of faith. The Rev. Brad Doyle and Riley Fore-

will be held in the 2026 calendar year, Parker reminded all. The August gathering will be hosted by Second Baptist and the November event by the Catholic church.

Munro thanked everyone for attending and closed the service with a prayer. He invited all to the fellowship hall for refreshments featuring ice cream.

Whereupon the presiding officer declared the above ordinance adopted on this day, May 11, 2026.

ATTEST: /s/ Gerald Tanner Gerald Tanner, Chairperson West Feliciana Parish Council CERTIFICATE I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and exact copy of the ordinance adopted at the duly called meeting of the Parish Council of the Parish of West Feliciana, Louisiana which was held on May 11, 2026 at which meeting a quorum was present and voting.

St. Francisville, Louisiana, this 11th day of May, 2026. /s/ Karla Dietz Karla Dietz, Council Secretary West Feliciana Parish Council Action taken for Agenda Item 7C Dannie Garrett addressed Council outlining all of the criteria that must be met in order to approve the waiver request. Mr. Pate asked the applicant, Mr. Cecil Graves, if he felt that there was a unique situation with his property that would warrant a waiver being that it could open up Pandora’s box for developers. Mr. Graves addressed Council stating that a treatment plant for this development won’t be feasible because of the sixteen 2-acre lots. His plan was for a large green space area with benches, a park and a pond with more subdivision restrictions than the Sage Hill development. A treatment plant would take approximately 2-2 ½ acres and then it must be fenced in, therefore, it takes up a lot of space on the backside and then there are neighbors to contend with. Mr. Graves concluded that it would be difficult to do on this small scale and still get nice homes out there - that is why he is requesting a waiver. Mr. Metz made a motion to deny the waiver request; seconded by Mr. Ballard. Roll call vote was as follows: YAYS: PATE, BALLARD, THOMPSON, METZ, TANNER NAYS: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE Motion carried to DENY the waiver request.

Action taken for Agenda Item 7D Mr. Thompson noted that the applicant needs to confirm that the property could actually handle a sewer system considering the size of the lot. Dannie Garrett addressed Council outlining all of the criteria that must be met in order to approve a rezoning request. Mr. Tanner asked the applicant, Ms. Jones, to speak regarding her application and she stated that she was unaware when she purchased the property that it was zoned commercial and is just requesting a rezoning to residential in order to put up a single family home. Mr. Ballard clarified with the applicant that the lot must be a certain size in order to install a private sewer system because that property is not on the public sewer system. Mr. Thompson made a motion to approve the rezoning request; seconded by Mr. Metz. Roll call vote was as follows: YAYS: PATE, BALLARD, THOMPSON, METZ, TANNER NAYS: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE Motion passed unanimously.

8. NEW BUSINESS 8A. DISCUSS AND/OR APPROVE THE BUDGET TO ACTUALS COMPARISONS AS OF APRIL 30, 2026 Danyell Vice, Finance Director, presented the budget to actuals comparisons as of April 30, 2026. Mrs. Vice stated that all funds are progressing well with revenues and expenditures. The only funds currently operating in a deficit are Funds 003, 406, 407 and 408 – these sewer funds will continue in a deficit until the rates are addressed.

Most of the ad valorum have come in but are still receiving some payments from the sheriff’s office regarding out of state revenue. Insurance premium taxes are beginning to roll in for the general fund. All of the departments are reviewing their budgeted line items ensuring that any special purchases that were included in this year’s budget could be addressed since those funds will no longer be available as of the end of this fiscal year. Mr. Ballard made a motion to approve the budget to actual comparisons as of April 30, 2026 for the following funds: 001 – General Fund, 003 – Burnett Road Property Sale fund, 101 – Parish Road Fund, 103 – Health Unit, 104 – Solid Waste, 106 – Criminal Court Fund, 112 – Economic Development Fund, 113 – Library Operating Fund, 302 – Recreation Fund, 303 – Buildings/Grounds Fund, 401 – Water Revenue Fund, 405 – Hardwood Sewer Fund, 406 – Solitude Sewer Fund, 407 – Turner Sewer Fund, and 408 – Independence Sewer Fund as presented. Seconded by Mr. Thompson. There were no objections. Motion passed unanimously.

8B. BUDGET REVISION #2 FOR FUND 302 – RECREATION FUND Mrs. Vice advised Council that this is the second revision for this fund this fiscal year. This revision is primarily to address the turfing of Quad A and was budgeted for this fiscal year for expenditures to hit but that project did not get up and running, therefore this revision is to pull the primary funding out of the budget for this fiscal year and added it into the new fiscal year. Parks Department also needs a new janitor cart and this revision will allow for that purchase. Also the lease was up on a vehicle and the Parish was able to purchase it for approximately $500.

Mr. Thompson made a motion to approve the budget revision #2 for Fund 302; seconded by Mr. Ballard. There were no objections. Motion passed unanimously.

YAYS: PATE, BALLARD, THOMPSON, METZ, TANNER NAYS: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE Motion passed unanimously.
