New jail pharmaceutical services OK’d Livingston Parish Council accepts lowest bid

ed a low bid last week from Contract Pharmacy Services, which will provide medications for inmates at a dispensing fee of $1.90 per prescription, according to bid documents the Council reviewed Nov. 19.

BY HEIDI R. KINCHEN Contract Pharmacy’s prohkinchen@theadvocate.com posed dispensing fee, which is LIVINGSTON — Declining inmate billed to the parish on top of medical expenses have helped the actual cost of acquiring the Livingston Parish government drug, was 82 cents lower than bring its jail costs more in line a competing bid from Diamond with revenues, and a recent low Pharmacy Services, according bid for pharmaceutical servic- to the bid documents.

Cheryl Smith, medical admines could help further the trend.

The Parish Council accept- istrator for the jail, said the two

companies were comparable in the services they provide. The only significant difference between their bids was the price.

Contract Pharmacy, the jail’s current provider, lowered its existing fee in the bid for the 2016 contract, Smith said. The company also proposed a dispensing fee of only $1.25 for over-the-counter medications, such as Tylenol and multi- and prenatal vitamins.

The four-member committee that reviewed the bids — two members of the parish’s finance personnel and two from

the jail’s medical services — “all opted for (Contract Pharmacy) at a cost savings to the parish,” Smith said.

The jail’s medical and dental services costs have declined significantly over the past three years, dropping from $470,000 in 2013 to a projected $238,000 by the end of 2015, according to parish budget documents.

Finance Director Jennifer Meyers said some of that decline is through cost savings Smith has found with service providers, but it also relates

to the relative health of the inmate population, which can fluctuate.

The parish’s jail fund — which pays the parish government’s portion of expenses for the jail, not the sheriff’s operational costs — has sunk increasingly into the red since the detention center was built in 2008.

Revenue from a dedicated quarter-cent sales tax has not been sufficient to cover both the bond debt payments from building the facility and the äSee COUNCIL, page 2G

Pete Pfiffner, member of the Hungarian Settlement Historical Society, cooks fish to be sold during a fish fry raising money to renovate the society’s museum.

The Hungarian Historical Society has been working since its inception in 2000 to transform an old school house into a museum honoring the Hungarian culture and people. As of September, they received enough grant money to complete the project.

The society has received several grants, but a grant from the Louisiana Capitol Outlay Program gave it the final amount needed to complete the project.

Society President Alex Kropog said the organization has to follow strict guidelines in order to receive the $175,000 grant.

“This money is not going to fall into a black hole,” he said.

Once the renovations are complete and

the museum is up and running, exhibits will feature items Hungarian settlers used in their everyday lives from 1896 to the present, such as lanterns, ice tongs, wash basins, as well as some items from Hungary, like Herend porcelain.

Julia Ourso, a 72-year-old member of the Hungarian Historical Society, plans to loan some items to the museum.

“I am going to put a lantern on loan, which my grandfather and father hung on the side of a horse and buggy drawn wagon that they drove to town in,” Ourso said.

“By the time they came home from Hammond, it was getting dark, and that was the light they used to guide them home.”

Kiwanis, Rotary members serve up holiday meal

BY VIC COUVILLION

Special to The Advocate PONCHATOULA — About 80 senior citizens were offered an early holiday meal on Nov. 18 when the Ponchatoula Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs joined together to treat their guests to a full Thanksgiving dinner at the Kiwanis Log Cabin.

The elderly honorees from the Ponchatoula area are all recipients of services offered by the Tangipahoa Volunteer Council on Aging’s Ponchatoula Center.

Paula Dunn, director of the center, said of the special meal, “this is truly a blessing. Many seniors live alone and many cannot make their own meals so we supply them with meals.

But today is special…all of our clients get to be together for a really great, very special meal and I know they are enjoying the food and the chance to visit with each other.”

In welcoming the seniors to the Thanksgiving dinner, Ponchatoula Kiwanis President Brian Steib said that offering them the holiday meal was something that Kiwanians looked forward to every year. “We take this opportunity, at this special time of the year, to say ‘thank you’ for what you did for our city during your productive years. This is our way of giving a little something back to you for what you have done for Ponchatoula.”

Ponchatoula Rotary President Jeff Wright said it was an honor to host a gathering of older residents who are “still very much a part of our community. You are

After practicing nursing for six years, Bryant enrolled at Southeastern Louisiana University, and in 2012, she completed her bachelor’s degree in nursing. She then enrolled in Southeastern’s nursing graduate school in the family nurse practitioner concentration, graduating in May with a master’s degree in nursing.

Advocate staff report Rare handwritten documents from the 1700s are on display at a new exhibit at Southeastern Louisiana University.

“History Revealed Through Rare Books and Documents: The Emergence of Printing, Bookbinding, and the Challenges of War Time Publishing,” a new exhibit showcasing rare books and documents from SLU’s archives and other sources, recently opened in the university’s Sims Memorial Library.

The exhibit was curated by the center’s student workers and will remain open in the viewing area at least into next semester, Director Samuel Hyde said.

Among the exhibit’s contents are rare handwritten documents from the 1700s, examples of some of the first bound books, Civil War-era newspapers, letters to presidents and some 300-year-old books.

“In this exhibit, our own holdings have been augmented by the impressive collections of former English instructor Paul Crawford, retired appeals court Judge Jimmy Kuhn and select items from the Cate/Graham family,” Hyde said.

The bulk of the work on preparing the exhibit was done by graduate research assistants Nicholas Heyd, of Covington,

While sales tax revenue increased following significant retail growth around Juban Crossing, Bass Pro and other areas of the parish’s commer-

cial corridor, cost savings also have been key in bringing the jail fund closer to balancing revenues and expenditures.

Meyers has projected a $180,000 deficit in the jail fund for 2016, down from $500,000 this year.

7 high schools improve test scores Advocate staff report The seven high schools in Livingston Parish that have received scores from the Louisiana Department of Education show tremendous improvements in measures used to assess school performance, collectively growing 50.8 school performance points over last year’s score, for an average improvement of 7.25 points per school, a news release from the school system said.

The seven schools are Albany High, Denham Springs High, Denham Springs Freshman High, Live Oak High, Springfield High, Walker High and Walker Freshman High. The parish’s other four combination schools — high schools that include grades three through eight on the same campus — Doyle, French Settlement, Holden and Maurepas — as well as elementary and middle schools, will receive their scores in December, according to the Education Department.

High schools are scored based on how students fare in five areas: core courses, ACT results, graduation rates, college readiness and other diploma enhancements, as well as gains by struggling students, the release said. Those five areas are used to compute a school performance score, ranging from zero to 150 points. Schools that come in at 100 or above earn an A. Livingston Parish schools Superintendent John Watson said the average ACT score for the parish’s 2015 graduating class was 20.5, above the national average of 19.7 and the state average of 19.2. “The remarkable aspect of this statistic is that Louisiana is one of only 11 states in the nation that has every senior take the ACT. Some of the other states calculated in the national average have only the top 30 percent of their student population taking the ACT,� Watson said.

He also noted that the parish’s graduation rate is at 80 percent, which is higher than the state average of 74.6 percent, and parish students scored 11 percent higher than the average Louisiana student on end-of-course exams.

At the same time, Livingston Parish schools are scoring well on indicators for ninth-graders, he said. The state awards points based on the number of credits a student has earned by the end of the ninth-grade year. Those with five for more credits earn 100 points, and the maximum points awarded to a student is 150.

The average score for Livingston Parish’s ninth-graders for 2015 is 137.9, and, of the students scored, 1,526 out of 1,735 earned the maximum of 150 points. “This indicator is probably one of the district’s most important, because it helps us track progress from this crucial period of transition. We know that greater success in the freshman year leads to greater success throughout,� Watson said.

Watson also said the state’s report showed 66 percent of Livingston Parish students earned more than a basic high school diploma last year. These students gained industry-based certification or college credit through their schools’ college dual enrollment classes and/or Advanced Placement courses and examinations.

A recent state report showed that Livingston Parish is among Louisiana’s top performers in AP exams. According to the 2014-15 school year report, 368 students earned an AP exam score that resulted in college credit, a 50 percent increase from the previous year, when 243 students earned college credit.

AP courses in high school offer students the opportunity to earn college credit in the same subject, depending on the outcome of an end-of-course exam. “Livingston Parish continues to be one of the fastest-growing districts in the state for student performance growth. Last year, three of our high schools were among the state’s top 10 in performance growth on AP exams.

We are pleased to see our schools to rank among the top again in this latest report. It’s just an indication that our students are learning and competing at very high level,� Watson said.

Jeffery Kirk’s younger brother, Benjamin Kirk, graduated from SLU in May with a degree in accounting and is employed in the north shore area.

The Robotics Team at St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Catholic High School in Hammond competed Nov. 14 in the “Nothing But Net” VEX Robotics Competition at Holy Cross High School in New Orleans, presented by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation.

St. Thomas Aquinas defeated teams from St. Paul’s, St. Michael’s of Baton Rouge, Lee High STEM, Hancock County, Lusher Charter School, Madison High and Central Lafourche. The team was de-

feated in the final round by host school Holy Cross.

Students attending the competition were freshmen Kenny Mayeaux and Andrew Loyacano; sophomores Jacob Anthon, Lochlann Werling, Nicholas Hudspeth, Jude Vitrano and Alex Wisecarver; juniors Christopher Threeton and Clayton Ourso; and senior Hunter Dupre.

Teams of students design and build a robot to play against other teams locally, regionally, nationally and, eventually, from around the world in a gamebased engineering challenge, a news release said.

Vitrano designed the robot — created to place balls into a goal via a claw — which was built by members of the robotics II class and controlled by Hudspeth at the competition.

The robot also was disassembled during the competition several times to improve efficiency and accuracy. By the final round, the claw had been removed, and the robot was able to simply push the balls across the goal line, the release said.

Beta District Day participants from St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Catholic High School gather for a photo.

All St. Thomas Aquinas teams will advance and compete in the Beta State Convention in January.

District Gov. Emily Owens, of St. Thomas Aquinas, served as host of the event and challenged participating schools to bring canned goods to be do-

nated to the Tangi Food Pantry.

Nearly 700 cans were collected.

St. Thomas Aquinas’ Beta Club officers are Owens; Garrety, district lieutenant governor; Bartels, president; Lindsey Dettwiller, vice president; Cailin Sampey, secretary; Megan Davis, treasurer; and

Greer, historian.

Other District IX schools participating in Beta District Day were Amite, Albany, Ben’s Ford Christian, Bogalusa, Franklinton, Hammond High Magnet, Independence, Mount Hermon, Northshore, Pine, Salmen, Jewel Sumner and Varnado.

Continued from page 1G Hungarian Historical Society and curator of the museum.

Royanne said before the museum opens its doors, she will take great care to properly label and display the items in exhibit cases.

“We are the largest rural Hungarian settlement in the United States today,” she said. “Somebody has got to do this, and we became that somebody. We’re trying to preserve it the best we can.”

The building itself serves as a historical marker for the Hungarian settlement.

It was constructed in Springfield in 1906 and moved to its present location in Albany in 1927 by oxen. From there, it became a school for children in the settlement, and the Rev. Alexander Bartus turned it into a nursing home in 1945.

From 1976 to 2000, the building fell into disrepair,

and the various civic organizations attempted to repair it with little success. The Hungarian Historical Society was formed in 2000, and it decided to transform the building into a museum.

Ourso said preserving the community is something important to her and the society.

“Both my parents were Hungarian, and I grew up on a farm,” Ourso said. “Anything that came about in the community, I participated in. My parents danced in the Harvest Dance, I danced and two of my daughters danced.

In this community we try to keep our culture and our history alive.”

Renovations are estimated to be completed sometime next year.

Once the museum is ready to open its doors, it will be open two days per week or by appointment.

For information, call The Hungarian Historical Society at (225) 294-5732 or visit www.hungarianmuseum.com.

Live Oak season ends early, but promising Scott Hotard SPORTS ROUNDUP

Prior to first-year coach Brett Beard’s arrival in January, Live Oak High School football had never won a playoff game, and the Eagles had only qualified for the postseason once in six years as a member of Class 5A. A memorable run for the program ended Friday night in a 25-2 loss to John Ehret in the second round of the playoffs, but Beard and the Eagles have plenty to build on following the most promising football season in school history.

In addition to experiencing some postseason success by winning at Ouachita in the first round, Live Oak put together a 6-4 regular season that included the school’s first wins against nearby rivals Central and Denham Springs and a 3-2 mark in District 4-5A play.

“I think it’s been an amazing year,” Beard said. “You can’t tell me these kids haven’t done a phenomenal job. As a coaching staff, we really feel that we got every drop out of them that we could. It’s a good start.”

This wasn’t the first time Beard, a former Vanderbilt and Southeastern Louisiana defensive lineman, put a program on his broad shoulders and led it to an impressive turnaround in short order.

Taking over a Woodlawn High program that suffered through a 1-9 season in 2012, Beard led the Panthers to a 4-6 mark in 2013 and a trip to the 5A playoffs. Another playoff berth followed as Woodlawn won six games in Beard’s second season.

Live Oak turned to Beard after finishing 4-6 in 2014 and missing the playoffs for the second year in a row.

The culmination of Live Oak’s breakthrough season came in the 33-28 upset of Ouachita to earn the Eagles, seeded 25th in the 5A playoffs, a home playoff game in the second round Friday night.

Live Oak’s defense was its usually stout self against

But the offense couldn’t get going against an Ehret defense led by LSU commitment Michael Divinity at linebacker.

Live Oak managed only 51 yards of offense and had 18 plays result in negative yardage. The Eagles had just four first downs in the first half, falling behind 13-0 at the break.

Despite the loss, it was quite clear how far Live Oak has come.

“You can tell we’ve gotten

better,” Beard said. “We’ve had some injuries. Offensively, we had some key injuries that caused us to sputter here at the end. But that’s no excuse. Guys have to step up and play, and I’m excited about what we have.”

Kelton seventh at state

Denham Springs senior Thomas Kelton wrapped up his decorated cross country career Nov. 18 in Kelton Natchitoches by securing his second top-10 finish at the

LHSAA state meet in as many seasons.

Kelton placed seventh in the Class 5A race, following a sixth-place finish his junior year. He had a time of 16 minutes, 43.6 seconds on the muddy 3-mile course.

“I’ve always said he was a great runner, and he has a runner’s heart,” Denham Springs coach Sarah Batty said.

“He’s just the type of guy that eats, breathes and sleeps running. He had been ranked lower than what he’s capable of all season. To see him finish seventh in state, that’s what I
