Zachary council hears complaints about business Community news report Following reports of heavy equipment traffic and noise complaints in the residential Little Farms area, Zachary officials are investigating whether a business owner has run afoul of city planning and zoning regulations.

The matter was discussed at the City Council’s July 14 meet-

ing, where Angus Avenue resident Sabrina Jones told the panel about problems she attributes to an adjacent property on Little Farms Drive owned by Alfredo Guilamo, who operates AGS Tree Services.

Jones said trucks and equipment often travel to and from the property, where she sometimes hears noise as early as 6 a.m., including on a recent Saturday.

“I’m not the only person that’s actually complaining about Mr. Alfredo,” Jones said before handing over copies of photos to the council. “His trucks are blocking the highway, the driveway on Little Farms Drive. In the mornings, it’s hard to get in and out to work sometimes. I just want to know what the City of Zachary is going to do about it.”

Neither Guilamo nor any representatives of his company spoke at the meeting.

Councilman John LeBlanc, who put the item allowing Jones to speak on the agenda, learned of the situation from a discussion at a recent Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. While Little Farms is not in his district, LeBlanc said he is concerned about what he has heard.

According to LeBlanc, Guilamo has an occupational license for an office in his home — but not a conditional use permit for additional business activities.

“This is really, really simple,” LeBlanc said. “He’s doing something that he’s not supposed to be doing in a residential area.”

Lane seeking partner to expand staff, revenue

BY IANNE SALVOSA Staff writer

Lane Regional Medical Center in Zachary is looking for partner to help it expand.

The medical center is in the market for an affiliation so it can hire more physicians, offer more services and increase revenue in the long run, said Jon Hirsch, Lane’s director of marketing.

“It’s not about responding to an immediate crisis, but about positioning ourselves for longterm growth,” Hirsch said.

Hirsch said hospital leadership is in negotiations with multiple in-state groups but

She and afnal charges, accused of illegally filiates of the old school have filed diverting money to buy a Tesla, multiple civil lawsuits seeking to

turn back the clock and restore them to power at the K-8 school of nearly 400 students.

Throughout this time, federal prosecutors have been looking into the charter school. The current charges were sought by the U.S. Attorney Kurt Wall, who took over the Baton Rouge office in October.

The grand jury also indicted Scott’s husband and former principal of the school, Eric Scott, as well as their daughter, Courtney Scott, and local construction contractor Sam Green.

In addition to potential jail time,

federal prosecutors are asking the court to compel the defendants to forfeit any property “derived from proceeds traceable to the offense,” of, failing that, forfeit comparable “substitute property” or pay financial damages.

Chakesha Scott, who founded the school in 2014, referred questions about the indictment to her attorney, Ben Bagert of New Orleans.

The Advocate left multiple messages with Bagert seeking comment.

Phillips to lead DEMCO as CEO, GM Community news report The DEMCO Board of Directors has named Mark Phillips as the cooperative’s next chief executive officer and general manager.

In partnership with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, DEMCO’s board conducted a nationwide executive search. Following a comprehensive evaluation process, 10 finalists were selected for consideration.

“The board approached this decision with a clear focus on DEMCO’s future and our responsibility to the members we serve,” said Danny Berthelot, president of the DEMCO board of directors. “We were committed to finding a leader who understands the cooperative business model, values strong relationships, and has the experience and vision needed to guide DEMCO Phillips through continued growth and an evolving energy industry.”

Phillips has more than 25 years of experience at DEMCO, with a career focused on electric utility operations, system planning, and infrastructure development. Most recently serving as DEMCO’s chief engineering and operations officer, Phillips led the department responsible for planning, maintaining, and advancing the cooperative’s electric system.

His experience includes oversight of major projects within DEMCO’s construction work plans, including transmission and distribution upgrades, substation improvements, technology advancements, and reliability-focused system investments.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to continue serving DEMCO, our members, and the employees who power this organization every day,” Phillips said. “I look forward to building on the progress we have made, strengthening our cooperative, and making decisions that support reliability, affordability, innovation, and the long-term needs of our members.”

Phillips succeeds Randy Pierce, who announced his retirement earlier this year after a 42-year career in the electric cooperative industry, including eight years as DEMCO’s Chief Executive Officer and General Manager.

DEMCO is a member-owned electric cooperative with 120,168 meters and 9,460 miles of power line, serving members in seven parishes: Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Livingston, St. Helena, Tangipahoa, and West Feliciana.

Zachary High students who received a superior, the highest rating category, for their Thespys include, from left, top row, Xavier Haynes, Bryce Butler, Rowan Rushing, Dane Buccere and Aubri Scott; and bottom row, Donovan Clark, Amelia Smith, Ava Carter, Maci Kilpatrick, Katie Evans and Kaylie Minor.

Zachary High claims Thespy awards Community news report

Zachary High’s Katie Evans, Amelia Smith and Maci Kilpatrick are Thespy winners for ensemble acting during a recent theater festival.

Zachary High’s Rowan Rushing is a Thespy winner for monologue.

n Chakesha Scott, “without authority,” illegally diverted more than $2 million in lease payments to Friends of Impact Charter, the owner of the Lavey Lane campus. Those payments, which covered an 18-month period starting in September 2022, were $846,048 more than what Friends was paying on its mortgage. Scott also allegedly spent $171,659 from the school’s bank account to pay closing costs on that property, even though the school was not party to the real estate sale. n The husband and wife charged $114,094 to school credit cards to pay for what prosecutors say were “personal travel expenses.”

Auditors counted 20 trips taken between October 2021 and July 2023. They included a 17-day European trip to Paris, London and Amsterdam, with a stop at Disneyland Paris. The Scotts have argued that all their trips were legally appropriate travel to professional conferences and the credit card in question was theirs and not the school’s. n Over more than 5 years the couple illegally diverted $292,993 from student fees and uniform sales to Friends of Impact Charter.

Six of the criminal counts involve “theft or bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds” and that Impact Charter during this period was receiving at least $10,000 a year in federal funding. The only specific federal program named in the indictment is the Paycheck Protection Program.

The seventh count involves money laundering. It focuses on $42,371 Chakesha Scott pulled in May 2023 from the account of Friends of Impact Charter School to buy a 2018 Tesla Model S. Prosecutors say the “funds were derived from the unlawful theft of funds from Impact Charter School.”

In a statement, Cade Brumley, superintendent of schools for the Louisiana Department of Education, said the indictment “reinforces” the February 2025 decision by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education “to install new leadership and protect the school’s students and staff.”

“We appreciate federal investigators for pursuing this matter, and trust the judicial system to resolve this issue in accordance with the law,” Brumley said.

For their charges, prosecutors followed closely on some of the findings of the Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s Office in their 173page audit of Impact Charter. They include the following: n Green overbilled Impact Charter to construct a temporary building at the 4815 Lavey Lane campus and then used almost $106,000 of those payouts to help complete construction on the Scott’s home in Zachary, including installing a new swimming pool. n Took $458,200 that Impact received from the federally-funded COVID-era Paycheck Protection Program and moved it in June 2020, two months after receipt, to the bank account of a nonprofit associated with the school, Friends of Impact Charter, a group auditors say is controlled by Chakesha Scott. Prosecutors say that diversion of funds was illegal. The Scotts have argued that the nonprofit’s finances are separate from that of the school. n Starting in June 2021, Chakesha Scott and Courtney Scott took cars acquired by the school — a 2017 Acura MDX and a 2021 Land Rover — for their own personal use.

Total estimated expense for the least-to-pur- Email Charles Lussier at clussier@ theadvocate.com. chase arrangement is pegged at $166,520.

“I was told that there are trucks that are constantly going down the road all the time. We did, not long ago, have a road improvement project that just paved all the roads out there. Do we want those roads being all tore up? No.” D’Monda Hill, planning director, assured LeBlanc that he and his staff are aware of

The Zachary High School theater program, under the guidance of teachers Lily McGill and Wil Thomas since August 2025, has expanded students’ opportunities with their thespian troupe — part of the International Thespian Society, the national theater honor society for high school students.

After many years of students competing at the Texas Thespian Festival, they resumed competing at the Louisiana Thespian Festival. After success there, they headed to the national festival this summer.

For the first time, Zachary High School’s Troupe 6648 attended the International Thespian Festival held at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. This weeklong event allowed the students to continue competing with their Thespy acts (songs, monologues, scenes, etc.), see some of the best high school productions from across the country, take workshops and master classes, audition for colleges, meet other troupes, and take part in special events.

The troupe highlights include: Katie Evans, Amelia Smith and Maci Kilpatrick are National Thespy winners in Ensemble Acting, earning a perfect score.

Rowan Rushing is a National Thespy winner in monologue, also earning a perfect score.

Nine of the other ZHS Thespy acts received a Superior Rating, and four others received an Excellent Rating.

Dane Buccere, Kasyn Gosserand and Josh Hughes were selected to participate in the 24Hour Play Festival. Students are challenged in teams to write, rehearse, memorize and perform a new play in 24 hours.

Ava Carter was cast in the commissioned one-act play. This is a brand-new play that was performed for the first time at ITF. “Camofleurs,” by Mandy Conner, tells the story of female artisans who were recruited to create camouflage in World War I. As this play goes to print this fall, Carter’s name will be published in the first few pages as an original cast member.

the situation. He said he has visited the neighborhood and is conducting research before deciding on a course of action.

“I appreciate you voicing your concerns,” Hill said.

“I’m on top of it.”

Councilman James Graves, whose district includes Little Farms, said he hasn’t received complaints about the business. He pointed out that other residents of the area operate businesses from their homes.

“There’s at least five semi trucks in that subdivision, that park in that subdivi-

sion,” Graves said. “So are we going to discriminate against one business or all of them in there?”

City Attorney Jacqueline Wilson told council members they were veering too far from the agenda item: a resident’s request to speak, which is limited to three minutes and does not permit questioning of speakers.

“My recommendation is to move on, allow the planning and zoning department to investigate, finish and handle it based upon what the investigation reveals,” Wilson said.

Within the past year, the hospital has expanded to serve more patients with a $90 million patient tower with 48 rooms. That bumped Lane up to 187 beds. The expansion also brought along new services like critical care and neurology to an area that local officials say is medically vulnerable.

Community news report The city of Zachary’s “Zachary Strong” cooking team traveled to Avoyelles Parish on July 1 to serve hope along with a hot meal to families recovering from the devastating flooding caused by Tropical Storm Arthur.

Volunteers prepared and served more than 400 hot lunches featuring grilled pork chops, beans and corn to residents and first responders working in the hard-hit community of Plaucheville.

Relief supplies collected through the Zachary Chamber of Commerce were also distributed to those in need.

In addition, the Zachary Rotary Club donated $1,000 to the “Zachary Strong” cooking team to help purchase food for the relief effort.

Four days after Tropical Storm Arthur dumped more than 20 inches of rain in just 36 hours, many families in Avoyelles Parish remained displaced by floodwaters.

Nearly 1,500 households across the parish were impacted by the historic rainfall. In the Plaucheville area, at least 140 homes were flooded, with more than 200 homes suffering damage or other impacts. Homes and businesses along La. 107 and La. 1179 were among the hardest hit, with floodwaters surrounding entire neighborhoods.

“The City of Zachary is proud of the volunteers and community partners who quickly answered the call to help,” a news release from the city said. “Their compassion, generosity, and willingness to serve reflect the spirit of “Zachary Strong” neighbors helping neighbors when they are needed most.

The city extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who donated supplies, prepared meals, and contributed financially to bring comfort and assistance to the families of Avoyelles Parish.”
