Class of 2020 reflects on shortened year STACEY TINSLEY Bossier Press-Tribune

INSIDE TODAY Linton Road bridge to close June 15

For the average high school student, the final months of their senior year are what makes their hard work over the previous 12 years worth it. But for the Class of 2020, things are different. This year, there will be no traditional class trips or senior proms, barbecues or celebration nights.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused schools to

be shut down in mid-March, the final months of high school have been unsettling for the Class of 2020.

For many school districts JOHNSON across America, graduation will take place in some form or another, but it won’t be what previous high school seniors experienced, including here in Bossier Parish.

This year, Bossier Schools will be “Bringing it Home,” by giving the Class of 2020 a chance to return to their high schools where it FARRELL all began and say a proper goodbye as they mark the end of their K-12 academic journey.

“What I will take away from my senior year is how it has taught this class to expect the

unexpected, and I feel like it will really help when we go into college,” said Abby Johnson, Benton High school senior.

Despite the unprecedented changes, members of the Class of 2020 are trying to stay positive.

“I feel like I learned a lot about patience and being able to say ‘no’ to things that would put too much pressure on me,” said Koehn Farrell, Haughton High School senior.

Six months to pay

STAFF REPORT Bossier Press-Tribune Linton Road’s bridge over Black Bayou will be closed beginning Monday, June 15 and continuing through Sunday, June 21 while work on water lines alongside the bridge is underway.

Bossier Parish officials said Cypress Black Bayou Water System, Inc., will be boring a new water line on the east side of the bridge. Tie-ins will also require lane closures on the bridge in the future.

Motorists are asked to detour to Hwy. 162.

Work is being done on the water lines in preparation for construction of a new bridge over Black Bayou, a project which officials hope will begin before the end of this year.

“Stay in the shade or indoors during the hottest times of the day, typically from around noon until about 5 p.m.,” she said. “Do any outdoor activities early in the morning before the day heats up. Stay hydrated.

During Wednesday’s police jury meeting, the Jury received a report from a meeting that was conducted earlier that day regarding the Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1.

District 11 Juror Tom Salzer, presented the update report to the jury. “ W e met today to go over delinquent accounts.

SALZER A couple of the things that we discussed in that meeting were calculations for putting people on payment plans. So the way that calculation is going to go is whatever their average bill is, plus whatever their delinquent amount is, will be divided by six, meaning that we are trying to give them six months to get caught up.

So were going to put that in place,” said Salzer.

“Also, the jury visited this issue before when it comes to other customers wanting to donate money to help customers that may not be financially able. We’re going to have

the HEAT Summer temperatures on the rise STACEY TINSLEY Bossier Press-Tribune During the hot summer months, it can be difficult to stay cool and enjoy yourself, especially if you don’t have air conditioning or have to be outside.

Prolonged exposure to excessive heat in summer months can be dangerous, especially for senior adults.

Every summer, many Americans die of health problems caused by ex-

cessive heat and humidity. Senior adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions are at high risk of developing heat-related illnesses, because of aging-related physical changes in the body, chronic health conditions, and even effects of taking some medications.

“Seniors are more susceptible to heat exhaustion, heat stress and heat stroke, so they need to be more attentive to staying hydrated,” said

Bossier parks are now open, but equipment can become hot to the touch.

Tamara Crane, executive director of Bossier Council on Aging. “[Seniors need to be] watching how much physical activity they do and when, wear loose clothing to allow for airflow and keeping cool. It is more than just “staying in the A/C” though.”

You can keep cool indoors during the day by blocking out sunlight and avoiding activities that can make your home hotter. When you’re outside, you can

This means drinking water. Dehydration makes heat exposure worse on the body. Keep a small cloth that you can wet down to help stay cool.”

To help combat the heat during the summer months, senior residents of Bossier Parish can get a new fan from the Bossier Council on Aging. In order to receive a fan, seniors must live in Bossier Parish, be older than 60, and have not received a fan from them in the past 12 months.

Crane said seniors can also seek utility assistance via LiHEAP or EFSP funds from the Bossier Office of Community services.

“Some utility companies also offer a program for seniors that fall below a certain income to apply for a little bit of help,” said Crane. “Also there is the weatherization program. It is based out of Desoto, but covers all of our parish.”

The Weatherization Assistance Program is a free service, funded by the Department of

Energy. The program is designed to help low-income families, with priority given to the elderly, disabled, and homes with children.

The program makes homes energy efficient.

Work performed on a home might include: attic and/or wall insulation, air sealing, caulking, and health and safety measures.

This program is not a home improvement or repair program. To qualify for services, both the household income and dwelling must meet

guidelines.

To request an application, contact the DeSoto Parish Police Jury/ Office of Community Services Weatherization Assistance Program at 318.872.0880, Monday through Friday 8am – 4:30pm. Federal regulations prevent discrimination of any kind in delivery of service.

If you would like to donate a new fan of any style, color or size to help Bossier seniors, please go to the Bossier Council on Aging at 706 Bearkat Drive in Bossier City.

The things they’ve lost When schools throughout the state closed in March, many high school seniors looked at the closure as a welcome extension of spring break. They didn’t know it would be their last day as traditional high school students.

“It was kinda funny because we were all out on spring break, so we had no idea that the last day before spring break was our last day. And then before spring break ended we heard that we couldn’t go back to school, which was a huge shock,” said Johnson. “Our emotions hearing the news that we weren’t going back to school came in stages. One was disappointment. When the news got out that seniors wouldn’t be able to graduate traditionally, you see all these celebrities and everybody online trying to make it up to this graduating class. Then all of sudden you’re united with every single 17-18 year old in the world, which is super cool.”

When Gov. John Bel. Edwards announced that schools would remain closed at least throughout the rest of the school year, the loss really began to sink in.

“When I found out that school would be finished for the year, I was happy and sad. I had a lot of friends in high school and all of them were supportive of me. But I know I’ll always miss being around

them,” said Farrell.

In previous years, Bossier Parish students celebrated their graduation commencement ceremony with family and friends at the CenturyLink Center. But because of restrictions associated with COVID-19, Bossier schools seized the opportunity to schedule outdoor ceremonies at each high school’s stadium.

“My immediate thought is your whole life you build up to this. You always expected that your whole family and grandparents would come see you. But my grandparents are elderly and I don’t want to risk their health. Then you get an email saying you can only bring your immediate family. But my immediate family is five other people. So it is kinda sad that my whole family can’t see me walk across the stage,” said Johnson.

“I feel going back to my high school will allow for more nostalgia but I would have loved the CenturyLink Center because then we wouldn’t be sweating to death,” said Farrell.

Looking forward A positive of the pandemic, Johnson said, is it has given her time to slow down and enjoy spending time with family and friends before leaving for college.

“I’m going to go to Louisiana

Tech to major in Marketing and Business. I think all of this has made us going to college more excited, because we have had such a long summer now, said Johnson.

“I think we are all anxious to get back into a routine and start the new phase in our lives.”

Farrell’s future plans include the United States military.

“My plan for college is to enlist in the Air Force Reserve and attend LATech to study Cyber Engineering so I can enlist into the active duty Air Force as an officer,” said Farrell.

For the Class of 2020, their high school careers will end the same way it began: with each other.

“I feel like a lot of people think that we’re sitting in our rooms and upset about all of this,” Johnson said. “But in general I think we are disappointed, but we are not upset. How could we be upset about not going to prom when people are sick and on ventilators? We’re just excited to go into the next stage of our lives.”

These times have also created a sense of thankfulness among the students.

“Thank you to my parents who have stuck by me through everything. To my friends, thank you for making me the man I’m becoming. And to my fellow seniors, I would like to say we’ve come a long way and we have a long way to go, but I’m proud of all of you,” said Farrell.

Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated We’ve all heard it, “Newspapers are dead.” Or, “no one reads newspapers anymore.”

Those of us in the newspaper business are rather sensitive to these words and we take them very seriously. In short, we are not “buying in.” And, in these troublesome times that we have ALL experienced in recent months, our audience (readership) is not buying in either.

I hear the words above several times a week. And, I am frequently asked about the health of our newspaper industry by family members, friends and those that I come into contact with on a daily basis. Are ya’ll ok?

Are you going out of business? My short answer is “no.” My long answer is, well, keep reading.

True, due to rapidly advancing technological innovations (ie: the RANDY smartphone that practi- BROWN cally none of us can live without), many forms of digital media, social media, etc., the newspaper industry has changed (especially over the last 10-12 years). This was a forced change.

Has this technology driven world reached its peak? Is the technology that we enjoy today the same technology that we will have in the future? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding “NO!” In reality, technology is just getting ramped up. I truly believe that we will see more technological change in the next 10-12 years than we have seen in the past 10-12 years. Then, after that, the cycle will repeat itself over and over again in exponential fashion. That is the way that technology works. It is hard to keep up with. Surely, technology changes our culture and it changes our daily lives in so many ways in terms of the things that we depend upon, the things that we consider necessities, the things that we can’t live without. And, as I said above, technology has definitely changed the newspaper industry. Let’s face it, this trend is sure to continue.

However, we don’t need to write the epitaph for the newspaper industry just yet. Newspapers are still relevant. Yes, we still have stories to tell. We still have news and events to bring you as a result of the tremendous growth and activity in our community. And now that our state is beginning to open up again after this recent period of cautiousness due to the coronavirus pandemic, we will have even more community news and events to bring you.

In short, we are a community newspaper. And to use a term that I learned in my intro marketing class back in my college days, that is our “niche.” Truly, in the newspaper industry, community newspapers are where the growth is taking place. As a result of that fact and due to the vibrant and expanding community in which we live, work and play; we are still here. And, we are still relevant.

As always, we are still here doing what we do for the Bossier Parish community. And, as a community newspaper, we look forward to continuing our long standing tradition of bringing you the news, sports and events that are important to you. For the most part, the stuff that you will not see elsewhere. We are the Bossier Press-Tribune. We are your community newspaper. We are Bossier Parish’s newspaper. We are still relevant.

And, we are here to stay!

Larry Clark: An open letter on race Dear Pilot community:

This is a difficult time for our nation. In the midst of a pandemic, our country must once again confront the long-term effects of racial injustice and systemic inequality that too often is drawn along racial and/or socio-economic lines.

At LSU Shreveport we unequivocally reject hatred, racism, and bigotry.

The university’s Commitment to Community, which provides our guiding ethos, encourages us to hold ourselves and others to the highest standards of academic, personal, and social integrity. We must practice justice, equality, and compassion in human relations.

We must respect the dignity

of all persons and accept individual differences.

These are principles that we at LSU Shreveport must take very seriously. LSUS is committed to the goal of assuring a safe, welcoming, and nurturing community that c e l e b ra t e s diversity.

Diversity makes us all better. It allows us to LARRY broaden our CLARK worldview, overcome prejudices, and creates a more vibrant and tightly woven social fabric.

To those of you within the LSUS community trying to make sense of the events

“We believe that everyone has the right to live in a society where they feel safe and where they have an equal voice.” unfolding in our nation, know that you are not alone.

We must all take stock of what is happening and shed light on injustice and inequality in all its forms if we can ever hope to combat it.

We encourage our students, faculty, and staff to look inward, and make use of our counseling services if you feel overwhelmed or need additional support.

We believe that everyone has the right to live in a society where they feel safe and where they have an equal voice. We believe that there is a real opportunity at this time to look at where we are as a country, how far we have come, and how far we still need to go. At LSU Shreveport, we have an opportunity to look at ourselves, and each other, and reaffirm our commitment to stand up for what is right for all.

Let us move forward together, Larry Clark, Chancellor Louisiana State University at Shreveport

OPINION

Jim Henderson: Universities can lead the way in racial healing, progress

Tuesday after Memorial Day 2020 was the day most of us were introduced to George Floyd, a 46-year-old father of two and resident of Minneapolis. The introduction was in the form of the horrific video, virally spread through social media, showing a police officer kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes until his unconscious body was unceremoniously thrown onto a stretcher. Three other officers stood by as Mr. Floyd repeatedly gasped “I can’t breathe” and onlookers pleaded with the police on his behalf. He died later that evening.

Since Tuesday, public officials, community leaders, celebrities, and people in positions like mine have condemned racism, injustice, excessive force, and violence. For the first time, it has been difficult to find anyone defending the perpetrator other than the trolls and miscreants that always appear at moments like this.

The collective outrage is important to healing. The challenge will be converting that outrage over the murder of George Floyd, the most recent illustration of the plight of the black community and the divisions that remain in American society, to lasting systemic change.

As a Roman Catholic, I was deeply troubled by the past quarter century of unending revelations about clergy abuse. The bumper stickers “I am thankful for the thousands of good priests” spoke to me. I avoided the movie Spotlight. Confronting systemic evil in an institution you adore is contrary to human nature, or at

least contrary to the nature of many humans. I found liberation once I realized confronting that systemic evil and loving my priest (and the thousands of good priests), my Bishop, and my church were not mutually exclusive.

Similarly, confronting systemic evil within our society does not conflict with the deep JIM HENDERSON love many of us hold for the history and promise of our nation.

It is no great revelation that we are products of our experiences. Our values, our opinions, our philosophies, our perspectives are formed by the way we live. For far too many of us, those experiences are narrow. We live, eat, drink, party, and pray with people just like us. We build unenlightened existences without even realizing it. That limited context prevents us from understanding the circumstances and experiences of those who do not look like we do.

In some ways, universities are an exception to the separation prevalent in our culture. They are home to faculty, staff, and students from innumerable backgrounds. The institutions are by nature diverse demographically, experientially, and socioeconomically, yet the divisions we see in society at large are often every bit as present. This was revealed to me in the starkest way during my presidency at Northwestern State University. I was invited to a

“We live, eat, drink, party, and pray with people just like us. We build unenlightened existences without even realizing it. That limited context prevents us from understanding the circumstances and experiences of those who do not look like we do.” first BBPWI meeting. BBPWI, Being Black at a Primarily White Institution, was an organization designed to educate administrators and others about the lived experience of students of color. It was not confrontational, it was purely constructive, which made it in many ways a more difficult conversation. It forced, or perhaps it simply allowed me to go beyond the standard platitudes of white guilt and virtue signaling to a deeper understanding and an informed empathy. I left the conversation with more questions than answers, but I knew more about what I did not know.

What I do know is the university houses a near-perfect ecosystem to contribute to the work before us as a nation, as a people. Universities, designed for knowledge sharing, cultural advancement, and discourse, are filled with young people with unbridled passion and faculty who have dedicated their careers to providing a space for developing the whole person. Even so, we will have to be intentional in creating environments to take on the difficult topic of race and justice. Our System has been addressing

this issue intentionally the past three years by adopting one of the nation’s most aggressive diversity and inclusion statements as well as establishing a diversity and inclusion task force to address policies and practices that inhibit inclusion at all levels of our organization.

Still, we have only begun the journey.

More than a decade ago, Dr. Maya Angelou came to Baton Rouge, the celebrant of a Baton Rouge Community College fundraiser. I enjoyed her charisma, her humor, and certainly her poetry. It was a delightful evening until she knocked the wind out of me with a recitation of a piece not of her own but from Langston Hughes. The words she spoke that night are never far from me, “Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table when company comes. Nobody’ll dare say ‘eat in the kitchen’ then. Besides, they’ll see how beautiful I am and be ashamed. I, too, am America.” We must ask ourselves are we willing to be America, to fulfill the vision of America we read about in our founding documents for all Americans. If the answer is yes, then active silence, passive ignorance, and occasional, transactional social media outrage are insufficient. We must commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and vanquishing the systemic evil of racism. Then we too will be America.

Parish athletes begin summer workouts

BY RUSSELL HEDGES

RHEDGES@BOSSIERPRESS.COM

Summer workouts under LHSAA and Bossier Parish guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have a decidedly different look from those in previous years with challenges nobody could have foreseen.

But Haughton head football coach Jason Brotherton was ready to get started.

High school teams across the state in all sports were able to begin summer workouts and activities on Monday.

Several South Louisiana football teams had to wait until Tuesday because of Tropical Storm Cristobal.

It was the first time many of the coaches have seen their players in person since schools were closed on March 16 because of the pandemic. Bossier Parish schools were also on spring break the week before.

“We’re going to try to jump through all the hoops to be able to do some things,” Brotherton said last Saturday. “It’s just a lot of formalities, a lot of paperwork, a lot of precautions that you have to take to be able to get out there and get any work in.

“We’ve got to try.

Eventually you’ve got to start. The more we go without starting, the more out of shape those kids will be when we do start and it’s going to be hot. We’re going to try to get out there and do what we can this week.”

Last week, the LHSAA posted a memo on its website outlining measures recommended by it and the National Federation of State High School Association’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee regarding the “opening up” of high school athletics and activities in Louisiana.

Under the rules in Phase 2, which lasts until June 26, no games, scrimmages or matches are allowed.

That means there will be no summer league basketball games at Bossier, no Northwest Louisiana high school Dixie baseball league and no 7-on-7 games in football.

All three have been a big part of teams’ preparations for their respective sports seasons.

In Phase 3, teams will be allowed to have only intra-squad scrimmages.

State wrestling tournament moving from Bossier City to Baton Rouge

BY RUSSELL HEDGES

RHEDGES@BOSSIERPRESS.COM

In February, the talk at the LHSAA state wrestling tournament at the CenturyLink Center was that the event would be headed back to South Louisiana in 2021.

That became official last Thursday. According to a report in the Baton Rouge Advocate, the LHSAA’s executive committee has awarded the 2021 tournament to Raising Cane’s River Center in Baton Rouge.

The tournament was hosted by Airline and held at the CenturyLink Center in 2011 and from 2016-20.

The facility received praise for its spaciousness, comfort level and setup for prime viewing of the matches.

But almost from the beginning, South Louisiana wrestling coaches and officials argued the tournament should be held in that part of the state because that’s where the majority of the schools with wrestling teams were lo-

cated.

According to New Orleans-based Crescent City Sports, of the 78 teams competing in three divisions in the 2020 tournament, 14 were from North Louisiana. All others were from south of I-10.

During its five-year run here, Parkway won backto-back Division II titles in 2018 and 2019. Numerous wrestlers from Northwest Louisiana schools also won individual titles.

The contract for the River Center is for one year. It will be the first time in 28 years for the event to be held in Baton Rouge.

The tournament will be open for bid again next year.

Elsewhere, the non-select girls basketball tournament is moving from Lake Charles’s Burton Coliseum to Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, where it was last held in 2017.

RANDY BROWN/PRESS-TRIBUNE

Bossier senior Decamerion Richardson was the parish’s leading rusher in the 2019 season. He also made some key contributions to the Bearkats’ run to the Class 3A basketball state championship.

A look back at an unusual 2019-20 sports season

Usually around this time of year I do columns in back-to-back weeks looking back at the high school sports year.

The first one basically looks at how individual schools fared at the district, state and regional levels. The second takes a look at some of the top athletes of the year.

For the 2019-20 sports year, I don’t really think it’s fair to say “which school ruled” on the fields Sports Editor and courts because most of the spring sports season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic.

That left a Russell combined 11 Hedges boys and girls district championships and four regional titles on the table by my count.

But here’s a quick look at how schools fared through the winter sports season.

Airline won district titles in football, boys cross country and boys and girls bowling.

Benton won titles in boys soccer and boys bowling. Benton’s girls basketball team finished runner-up in the district but went on to win the big prize, the 5A state championship.

Parkway captured the 1-5A girls cross country title. The Panthers wrestling team finished runner-up in the Northwest Louisiana Regional and fifth in the state tour-

nament in its first year in Division I. Haughton won the District 1-II volleyball title.

The Bucs football team finished third in 1-5A but achieved a milestone in the playoffs, reaching the semifinals.

Bossier won the District 1-3A and Class 3A boys basketball state championships.

I do think there are athletes who deserve recognition. As I’ve said in past years, to be considered a top athlete excelling at more than one sport is one criteria. Of course, some didn’t get a chance to do that this year.

One-sport athletes who

win state championships in individual sports are obviously on an elite level, too.

And the risk of leaving someone out, let’s start with top male athletes.

Bossier had several that fits that description.

Mississippi State football signee Decamerion Richardson was All-Parish at running back and defensive back. So was James Davis. Both rushed for more than 1,000 yards.

Both also played key roles off the bench in the Bearkats’ run to the 3A basketball title, especially in the playoffs.

Richardson and Davis also likely would have had

outstanding track seasons.

Rico St. Fleur was the All-Parish MVP in soccer and All-Parish in football.

Coleman Beeson had productive seasons in football, soccer and baseball.

Airline’s Devin Bilbo was first-team All-Parish in basketball and secondteam All-District in football. He could’ve also had a successful track season.

Ernie Perry III won a state wrestling championship.

Haughton had a slew of outstanding athletes — Peyton Stovall (All-Parish quarterback), CJ McWilliams (All-Parish receiver), Jacob Stephens (All-Parish defensive back), Keyshawn Davis (All-Parish running back) and Matthew Whitten (All-Parish receiver).

Stovall, McWilliams and Whitten appeared to be on their way to outstanding seasons in baseball. Stephens and Davis would’ve had opportunities to excel in track.

Benton’s Malik Antwine, Tyler Ivey and Artis Cole were All-Parish in football. All three had the potential to do some damage on the track.

Trey Winkler was AllParish in football and also an outstanding wrestler.

Parkway’s Gabriel Larry was the rare threesport athlete. He was second-team All-Parish in basketball and on his way to an outstanding baseball season. He also was the Panthers quarterback through the first eight See, ATHLETES, Page 6

games of the season.

Peyton Lewis and Brady Norcross both excelled at football and baseball. Isaiah Robinson was an All-Parish football player and could’ve had a very good season on the track.

Joshua Keeler was a state champion wrestler and finished sixth in the 1-5A cross country meet.

Plain Dealing’s Darrien Perry was the only firstteam All-Parish selection in football and basketball.

Ken Gay passed for more than 2,000 yards and was a basketball starter.

Now let’s move on to the top female athletes.

Airline’s Gabriela Patronis was the All-Parish volleyball MVP. She qualified for the state tennis tournament in 2019 and would’ve likely returned this year. Kayla Hampton was first-team All-Parish in basketball.

Sprinter Brianna Taylor was likely going to have a

very good season.

Benton’s Qua Chambers was the MVP on the All-Parish team in basketball. She also led the Lady Tigers to the 5A state title, earning first-team AllState. Chambers was also a past district champion in track.

Benton’s Jada Anderson was a first-team All-Parish basketball selection. She also competed in track and field in 2019.

Haughton’s Takaiyah Sweeney was a first-team volleyball and second-team basketball All-Parish selection.

Even though she was only a freshman, Parkway’s Mikaylah Williams was a strong candidate for the parish’s top female athlete. She was a first-team All-Parish basketball selection and off to a very good start in softball. She also likely would’ve competed in some track and field meets.

Peyton Pipes was All-

Parish in soccer. She probably would’ve been one of the top javelin throwers in the area and was also a good hurdler.

Jordan Dukes helped the Parkway basketball team win 21 games and would’ve been one of the area’s top sprinters.

Now I’m going to repeat what I say every year.

Not everyone can be All-Parish or All-District or a state champion. But everyone can play their roles on their respective teams to the best of their ability.

Kudos to all the athletes in Bossier Parish who did that this past year.

And a special shoutout to those spring sports athletes who had to sacrifice their senior seasons.

ball and baseball tournaments, respectively. Monroe will host the state tennis and powerlifting tournaments.

The lone LHSAA championship event slated for Shreveport-Bossier City is the bass fishing

championships on Cross Lake. The first LHSAA state bass tournament was supposed to be on Cross Lake in April. Along with all other spring sports championships, it was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

ming, distance running, or other high intensive aerobic activities.”

Coaches and staff must also wear coverings.

Group sizes of up to 25 (including adults) in one enclosed location indoors or outdoors with adequate distancing between other groups will be allowed. Individuals within all groups must comply with social distancing during practices.

Coaches and athletes must also undergo temperature checks before practices. There are also rules in place regarding the proper use, cleaning and sanitizing of equipment, including balls.

(A complete list of guidelines is available on the LHSAA website).

Bossier Parish Schools officials formulated their own re-opening plan incorporating the LHSAA and National Federation guidelines.

“We’re very fortunate in our parish,” said Brotherton, who guided the Bucs to an 11-3 record and the 5A semifinals last season.

“Our parish leadership understands coaching and they understand what goes into that and we’re pretty much together in our parish on all of us doing the same thing and all kind of abiding by the same guidelines.

“I think it’s going to be smoother here in Bossier Parish than a lot of other places just because, like I said, it’s a testament to (Superintendent) Mitch

(Downey) and (Assistant Jason Superintendent) (Rowland) up there in the central office listening to us, what we need and then telling us what they expect.”

Bossier head boys basketball coach Nick Bohanan, who guided the Bearkats to the Class 3A state championship last season, said he’ll miss the summer league games and team camps the Bearkats normally go to. something “That’s that’s always real big for us,” he said. “We always do that summer league and three or four team camps.

We try to play at least 30 games in the summer. You can almost fill a season, get the guys that were maybe right there — didn’t play a whole lot last year — and you get them that summer experience and you’re ready to go.

Not being able to play games they’re going to get that experience during the season I guess.”

But he knows everybody is in the same boat.

“Everybody’s dealing with it, so you can’t do much about it,” he said.

“You’ve got to do what you can do.”

Bohanan said the Bearkats may wait until Phase 3 to really get going.

“There’s only so much you can do in Phase 2,” he said. “You’ve got 21 days to Phase 3 to be able to actually do stuff. I think we’ll be able to scrim-

mage and do one on one.

Right now we can’t do any of that, can’t even pass the ball to each other.

You can’t share the ball.”

Bohanan said he may have small groups in the gym to work on shooting and ball handling under a coach’s supervision. The players may also do some running in the gym and on the track.

Airline head volleyball coach Regina Digilormo said she doesn’t plan to start workouts until Monday, June 29, when Phase 3 begins.

Brotherton said he plans to keep his workouts outdoors for the duration of Phase 2.

“I think the kids are probably so out of shape I think we can go two or three weeks with just a general conditioning program and a lot of body weight exercises outside,” he said. “Of course we can adjust that if we need to.

“It’ll be fine. It’s just going to take us a little while to get going on Monday. It’s going to take us a while to get going every day because you’ve got to do the temporal scan and you’ve got to fill out the checklist for every kid.

It was just a lot of logistical things.

“It may take us awhile but I’m sure we’ll get it figured out, make adjustments as we go and try to keep the kids safe and try and get some work in.”

LIBRARY

register and log your time reading

At the risk of sounding like a broken record since my last several columns at least touched on the fact that our summer program has started, I’m simply going to encourage my readers to take advantage of the awesome (if I do say so myself) giveaways that we’ve organized for participants in our program by registering and logging the time you’ve been spending reading!

Now, if you haven’t been reading...or listening to an audiobook, that’s cool. If you haven’t been reading because you need some recommendations then we’re here for you! As a little extra fun, we recently added a selection of staffpicks to our website homepage so you can see what we’ve enjoyed reading.

But if none of those catch your interest, then I suggest checking out our “What Should I Read Next?” page that can be found under the “Services” tab.

The resource I often turn to when I’m just interested in browsing through suggestions is Novelist; though Next Reads and Select Reads will send you a list of book recommendations based on your preferences if you sign up to receive them, which gives you a more personalized list to look over. Another way I like to browse for my next read is by pulling up the “Explore” option on the Libby/OverDrive apps; you can find this section when you click on “Preferences” on the main page.

This will then take you to a list to filter by, and I often wander through the to “Subjects” section so that I can select one that catches my interest. For example, you will be taken to a list of 128 different subject arranged by the number of titles we currently have on that subject (though you can rearrange them so that they are alphabetical if you prefer).

The ability to search for specific topics within the library catalog and on these sites makes me doubly appreciative when my attention gets caught by a specific topic. Sometimes I hear something on the news that I want to learn more about, or I watch a movie or TV show set during a particular event from history that I want to know the full, or true, story about; as a librarian I do love my facts and I imagine many of you are the same. Enjoy browsing!

HISTORY

IN 1993 THE HISTORIC SITES PROJECT WAS STARTED In 1993 the “Historic Sites” signs project was started by the Highland Area Partnership, under the leadership of Director Robert J. Marak. After having great success, the project expanded to include Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish, with a focus on the two cities, Shreveport and Bossier City. A large group of organizations and individuals joined forces, including historians Eric J. Brock and Clifton D. Cardin. Of the 150 sites selected throughout the two parishes, the group received permissions to install 132 historic site signs.

The following is a partial list of the historic site markers and their descriptions, that were placed in Bossier Parish through this project, along with their description.

Scopena Plantation - “One of the oldest operating plantations in Northwest Louisiana.

Established on a land grant from the period of French domination. In recent times was childhood home of Louisiana Gov. Charles “Buddy” Roemer, who was born nearby.”

Red River Ferry Boats - “The Don Juan and Sterling White ferry boats crossed foot and stock traffic to Shreveport from near this point for many years prior to the opening of the first bridge across Red River in July 1884. Prior to this, beginning in the 1840s, another ferry crossed the river about four blocks north of Texas Street.”

Oakland Plantation - “This house was built in stages between 1832 and 1848, and by 1850 was owned by Doctor Abel Skannal. From this house the family controlled five plantations totaling over 8,000 acres.

Rumors about ghosts are sustained by the fact that Doc Skannal kept a coffin in the attic of the house. The family cemetery is located nearby in the woods.”

Hughes House - “Built in circa 1840

by Alex B. Hughes, the house remained in the Hughes family until its donation to the Bossier Restoration Foundation in 1972.

This was the boyhood home of William Clark Hughes who was Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives in 1928.

This House has been used as an office, home, schoolhouse and museum.”

Elysian Grove Plantation - “Near this location, during the greater part of the 19th century, stood “Elysian Grove” plantation, owned by Mary Cane (1812-1902). Mrs. Cane was a prominent businesswoman and landowner in Bossier and Caddo Parishes.

After her death the main house deteriorated and was finally razed in the 1920s.”

Salem Baptist Church - "Salem Baptist Church was organized in Red Land, Louisiana November 23, 1844 with four members. Elder Moses S. McDonald, his wife Mahalah, Frances Roden and Margaret Weeks Covington, under the leadership of Elder McDonald and Elder Hargis. It is the oldest church in Bossier Parish and from it grew Chalybeate Springs, Rocky Mount, Caney Creek, Plain Dealing, Good

Hope and many other churches."

Fillmore Cemetery - “Located a short distance down this road. Founded 1848 by Fillmore Methodist church, once located on site. Buried here are Thomas D Connell, founder of Connell’s Cross Roads (now AMY ROBERTSON Fillmore), and W. P. Haughton. Also here is O.R. Gelette (18451944), one of the six last surviving Confederate commissioned officers, and the last surviving officer of General Lee’s staff.”

Ash Point Plantation - “Built c.1875, was residence of Elam s. Dortch, believed to be last surviving Confederate veteran residing in Bossier Parish. Moved c. 1923 to present site from original location nearer river. Listed in National Register of Historic Places, 1982.”

Paul Lawrence Home - “Built 1883 after earlier house on site burned. Residence of Dr. Paul Lawrence, respected physician, who performed house calls for over 50 years despite the loss of a leg in the Civil War. Haughton was originally called Lawrenceville in his honor.”

The Old Bossier City Municipal Building - “Cornerstone laid Nov. 16, 1926. Officially dedicated My 19,1927. A fine example of the Spanish “Hacienda” style adapted for public buildings. The second floor still contains original jail cells.” The building originally housed the city offices, mayor, police and others. The building is still in use by the Bossier Art Council and the East Bank Theater. It also houses a very unique and interesting gallery of paintings and abstract art.

Henry McDade House - “Modified dog trot house is example of skills and creativity of early 20th century homes in Bossier Parish. It has one room on south side and three rooms on the north. Built circa 1927

by Henry McDade for his wife, Artie Lee Patterson McDade and their eight children.

Over 80 descendants as of year 2000.”

Bellevue Cemetery - “Official burial ground for Bellevue, formerly Bossier Parish seat.

At least two judges, four Bossier parish Sheriffs, and twenty-one Confederate soldiers are buried here. Bellevue was first called Freedonia, then Society Hill.”

Judy Long Alex Bossier City, LA – A memorial celebration of the life of Judy Long Alex will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 13, 2020 at Rose-Neath’s Bossier Chapel in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Everyone is welcome to come pay their respects. Inurnment will follow at Rose-Neath Cemetery, 5185 Swan Lake Spur, Bossier City, Louisiana.

Judith Long Alex was born January 20, 1943, in Elmont, Texas to Joseph and Evelyn Long and passed away peacefully, Monday, May 4, 2020, in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Judith was a woman of great talent, intelligence and warmth. She worked at Bossier Bank and Trust for many years before beginning work at Ilse of Capri Casino in the 1990’s as a cage manager and continued working there for almost 30 years. She got to travel across the U.S. setting up casinos and training staff members. She was someone people really felt they could come to when they needed to talk.

Judith will always be remembered for her ability to listen to others with compassion and offer suggestions for solutions. She enjoyed baking and found a talent for making crafts, jewelry and painting in her later years. She loved to create and could paint from memory, especially when it came to painting her roosters. She adored spending time with her family and had a special place in her heart for her grand and great-grandchildren for whom she always had candy.

Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband, Frederick J. Alex, Sr.; son, Frederick J. Alex, Jr; daughter, Mary A. Hicks and partner, Debra A. McKay; grandchildren, Joseph A. Alex and wife, Jade, Heather Alex, Judah A. Buck and wife, Ashton, Micah Buck and Lucas Alex and great-grandchildren, Joseph, Jr., Bladen, Bryson, Kadieleigh, Timmy, Danny, Alexander and Calliope.

The family would like to thank the following doctors and their staff for their continued care and concern: Dr. Ted Warren, Dr. “Chip” McDonald and Dr. Jagan Beedupalli.

The family suggests that any memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or to the charity of the donor’s choice.

Robbie Jean (Jones) Roach Mrs. Robbie Jean (Jones) Roach, 89, passed away peacefully, at home on Sunday, June 1, 2020. All services to celebrate her life were held on Thursday, June 11, 2020. Services began with a brief visitation between 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., within the State Room of Hill Crest Memorial Funeral Home in Haughton, LA. Next, a Graveside Funeral service for Mrs. Roach was held at 12:30 p.m. at Old Town Cemetery, Haynesville, LA, with Bro. Jeff Spring officiating . Interment immediately followed, where she was laid to rest alongside her beloved husband, Wilbur G. Roach, who preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death were her brothers Earnest Jones, Alfred Jones, and her sister Elaine Chandler.

Robbie Jean was born in Junction City, LA on Tuesday, September 16, 1930 to the late L.H. Jones and Winnie Goldsby Jones. She was raised in Haynesville, LA and attended the local schools. In 1964 she married S/SGT Wilbur G. Roach, USAF accompanying him to Europe and Asia, where his assignments took him.

Following their stint in Iran, they traveled the United States working the State Fair circuits making lasting friends wherever they went. They were also members of the SMART Travel Club.

Robbie Jean was a member of the Southern Hills chapter of the Eastern Star and the auxiliary to the Sargent’s Association. Robbie Jean retired to Newport, KY where she volunteered at Brighton Center, local VA Hospital and various City events.

She is survived by five daughters, Q. Evone Bradley (Michael) of Ft. Thomas, KY; Fran Linder (Michael) of Odenton, MD; Suzanne Juneau of French Settlement, LA; Rhonda Lacobe Svoboda (Dean) of Schriever, LA; and Angel Tyson (David) of Springhill, LA. Also left to carry on her legacy are: 7 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 2 greatgreat grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest contributions to Brighton Center, PO Box 325, Newport, KY 41072.

NOTICE

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on May 29, 2020, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL”), a public utility providing retail electric and gas service throughout the State of Louisiana, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) its Formula Rate Plan (“FRP”) Rider Schedule FRP Evaluation Report and Workpapers for Test Year 2019.

The filing reflects an earned return on common equity (“EROE”) for the 2019 Evaluation Period/Test Year of 9.66%. As such, no change to Base Rider FRP Revenue is required.

While Base Rider FRP Revenue will not change as a result of this filing, overall FRP Revenues will increase by approximately $103 million. The resulting FRP factors to be applied to the respective ELL rate classes (including Legacy ELL and Legacy EGSL rate classes) effective for customer bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of September 2020, are as follows:

Except for those rate schedules excluded under ELL Rider Schedule FRP-1, the required FRP factor of 55.3639% is to be applied to each of Legacy ELL’s rate classes and the required FRP factor of 53.8811% is to be applied to each of Legacy EGSL’s rate classes, both effective for monthly customer bills rendered on and after the first billing cycle of September 2020.

It is estimated that the proposed adjustment in rates will have the following effects upon applicable Legacy ELL customers’ typical monthly bills: for a Residential customer using 1,000 kWh the bill would change by approximately $3.51, from $99.58 to $103.09; for a Small General Service customer using 50 kW and 12,500 kWh the bill would change by approximately $47.55, from $1,329.15 to $1,376.70; for a Large General Service customer using 1,000 kW and 500,000 kWh the bill would change by approximately $1,076.26, from $34,423.46 to $35,499.72.

It is estimated that the proposed adjustment in rates will have the following effects upon applicable Legacy EGSL customers’ typical monthly bills: for a Residential customer using 1,000 kWh the bill would change by approximately $1.62, from $95.03 to $96.65; for a Small General Service customer using 5000 kWh the bill would change by approximately $9.95, from $559.10 to $569.05; for a Large General Service customer using 500 kW and 255,500 kWh the bill would change by approximately $248.37, from $16,635.02 to $16,883.39.

Additionally, ELL’s filing proposes a reduction in the rates charged under its Additional Facilities Charge Rate Schedules (i.e,. Rider Schedules AFC, AFC-L and AFC-G). The proposed revisions to these rate schedules are reflected in the proposed rate schedules contained in the filing.

For questions and comments regarding ELL’s filing, please call the LPSC toll free at (800) 256-2397. Additionally, the filing, including its attachments may be viewed in the Records Division of the LPSC at the following address: Records Division 602 N. 5th Street, 12th Floor Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Telephone: (225) 342-3157

Alderwoman Emily Jennings

Alderman Howard Haynie Alderwoman Judy McGuffey – Absent at roll call

Others present were: Ms. Cindy Dodson, Mayor; Mr. James Southerland, Town Attorney; Ms. Sandra McMillan, Town Clerk and other guests.

Motion was made by Alderman J. Cook, seconded by Alderwoman S. Gay, to approve the agenda. The Mayor called for public comment. There being none, votes were cast, and the motion carried unanimously.

Motion was made by Alderman H. Haynie, seconded by Alderwoman E. Jennings, to approve the minutes of the April 30, 2020, regular meeting, and dispense with the reading.

The Mayor called for public comment. There being none, votes were cast, and the motion carried unanimously.

Motion was made by Alderman J. Cook, seconded by Alderwoman S. Gay, to ratify approval of expenses for the month of April, 2020. The Mayor called for public comment. There being none, votes were cast, and the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Ben Rauschenbach, P. E., Senior Project Manager with the Manchac Consulting Group, Inc., addressed the council regarding proposed utility system improvements for the Town of Plain Dealing. He stated that as requested by the Mayor, he met with Steve Smith, Public Works Superintendent, on March 19, 2020, to review the current wastewater treatment operations. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that they discussed many of the challenges that Plain Dealing has experienced over the past several years in keeping up with various regulatory requirements associated with wastewater collection and treatment, as well as water production and distribution. He stated that based on initial conversations, the top priority is to enhance the operation of Plain Dealing’s wastewater treatment plant. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that the town has maintained the same wastewater treatment plant operational procedures for the past several years and has not been able to overcome the excessive water from the uncharacteristic rainy seasons. He stated that additionally, the aging wastewater collection infrastructure system has sustained effluent flows well in excess of permit limits and beyond processes traditionally used to maintain permit limits. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that their current opinion is that the significant increase in flow is the leading factor in diminished plant performance.

The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality has contacted the Mayor on several ongoing violations at the sewer plant. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that the infrequent sludge wasting and management has resulted in sludge accumulation in several locations at the plant and removal of this sludge will be required to improve treatment performance. Mayor Dodson stated that DEQ has advised that records indicate that there has been no sludge hauled away in many years. The use of a vacuum truck to haul away the sludge was discussed. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that operating procedures need to be implemented to improve the biological health and activity required to efficiently and continuously treat Plain Dealing’s wastewater. He stated that the inclusion of additional process support and standard operating procedures for normal and high flow scenarios that can be used to guide wastewater treatment plant activities and maintain DEQ permit compliance under high flow scenarios is recommended. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that this effort will also include operational support and training specifically around these procedures under normal and high flow scenarios. He stated that these procedures should be completed in approximately 90 days.

Mr. Cook expressed concern regarding the lack of maintenance at the sewer treatment plant.

Mr. Rauschenbach discussed water production and distribution, advising that potable water quality and related regulation excursions were also reviewed. He stated that Manchac is also offering assistance to Plain Dealing to help identify and implement corrective measures that address these challenges, including an initial assessment of water quality throughout the town’s water distribution system. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that this will provide critical information related to the system’s ability to maintain required chlorine residuals, reduce disinfection byproducts formation and mitigate the presence of harmful coliforms. He presented information on specific water quality monitoring parameters and stated that a chlorine burn may be necessary. Mr. Rauschenbach stated that upon completion of the chlorine cleanse they will assist Plain Dealing in optimizing disinfectant ratios and recommend operating procedures necessary to maintain water quality.

After further discussion, it was recommended by the Mayor and council members that the Town of Plain Dealing approve the proposed utility system improvements as presented by Mr. Rauschenbach. The Mayor stated that the Department of Environmental Quality has made it clear that the Town of Plain Dealing must take immediate action to bring its wastewater treatment plant into compliance to avoid possible fines and penalties.

Alderwoman Judy McGuffey entered the meeting at 6:26 pm.
