Top educational leaders from around Bossier Parish and the state gathered together Oct. 23 to paint a

picture of the successes and challenges faced by educators.

The Bossier Chamber’s State of Education address was held Oct. 23 at the Bossier Parish School of Technology and Innovative Learning (BP-

STIL) to keep attendees up-to-date on all the new developments in the Bossier Parish education system and its role in developing and sustaining a quality workforce.

BAFB building named for dePyssler

MSG Building to be renamed for veteran due to his support for airmen

Benton officer recognized for saving life of young child

stinsley@bossierpress.com

A building on base at Barksdale will be named in honor of a retired airman who has helped countless airmen and their families.

The Mission Support Group Building T-4400 will be named the “The dePyssler Mission Support Group (MSG) Building” in honor of Colonel Steve dePyssler, USAF Retired.

This building is one of the few buildings in the entire branch named after a living veteran. Col. dePyssler provided 45 years of volunteer service by helping active duty members, dependents, retirees, widows and veterans at Barksdale Air Force Base.

A dedication ceremony of the building is scheduled to take place Nov. 8.

In addition, the dePyssler MSG Scholarship fund was established.

The rendering of the new dePyssler Mission Support Group Building at BAFB. named after me. So, because of that, I decided to give something in return and establish the dePyssler MSG Scholarship fund that will last forever,” dePyssler said.

The dePyssler family donated $50,000 toward this scholarship fund; the goal is $100,000. The fund will

continue to grow with 3% going to the MSG fund with the remaining amount going to the principal, so the fund will continue to grow with any percentage over 3% going to build a larger fund. The fund is administered by the Community Foundation of North Louisiana.

Annual scholarships will be awarded to active duty military members who are stationed at Barksdale AFB. “The base is only involved with telling us who they want the scholarships to go to,” said dePyssler.

A Benton Police officer has been recognized for his efforts in saving the life of an infant earlier this year.

Benton Police Chief Charles Pilkinton presented Benton Officer Jeremy Sunderland with the American Police Hall of Fame’s Life Saving Award at the Benton Town Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 14.

On Aug. 22, Officer Jeremy Sunderland was dispatched to a medical call regarding an 8-month-old child who was choking and not breathing.

Officer Larry Weaver, who arrived on scene, stated in his report that Sun-

derland “exited his patrol car and ran and took the infant and began first aid.

Officer Sunderland checked the infant’s airway and delivered several palm strikes to the child’s back. After checking the airway again, Officer Sunderland repeated the palm strikes in an attempt to dislodge the obstruction. This was repeated several times.”

Officer Weaver went on to say in the report that the child “gasped and began to cry; the cries began to get louder. It was obvious the obstruction dislodged, and the child was able to breathe better.”

The child was then handSee, OFFICER, Page 3A

Senators Ryan Gatti (R-Bossier City) and Barrow Peacock (R-Bossier City) were presented certificates of appreciation by Police Jury Pres-

ident Doug Rimmer for their help in securing funds for the extension of I-20/220 onto Barksdale Air Force Base.

Officer involved in fatal shooting at Bossier City hotel From Staff Reports

newsroom@bossierpress.com

A Bossier City Police officer was involved in a fatal shooting at a hotel last week after responding to a disorderly person.

At 5:45 a.m. Oct. 25, 2019, Bossier City Police responded to complaint of a disorderly person at the LaQuinta Inn, 309 Preston Blvd.

The responding officer encountered the suspect, Shannon Rupert, 45, of Shreveport who was waving around a pair of scissors while on a phone in the lobby of the hotel.

The officer reportedly gave multiple verbal commands to Rupert to put down the weapon. Rupert then aggressively approached the officer with scissors in hand. The officer fired two rounds from his department issued handgun striking Rupert in the upper torso.

The suspect was transported to LSU Oschner, where she was pronounced deceased. The officer was not injured.

Rupert was staying at the inn at the time of the complaint.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Shreveport man arrested for human trafficking From Staff Reports

newsroom@bossierpress.com

A Shreveport man was arrested Oct. 21 for human trafficking following a months-long investigation that stemmed from a prostitution arrest back in May. Demarkeo D. Foster, 31, of the 1400 block of Acorn St. in Shreveport, was arrested in Shreve- Foster port Oct. 21 on a human trafficking arrest warrant and taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender

Task Force. He was then transported from the Caddo Correctional Center to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility.

Back in May, an undercover agent with the Bossier Combined Vice/ Narcotics Task Force made a prostitution arrest. From that arrest stemmed a thorough investigation in which the agent determined that Foster was engaged in human trafficking.

Foster is incarcerated in the Bossier Max with a bond of $200,000.

Greenacres Middle School celebrates its 60th birthday

By Stacey Tinsley

stinsley@bossierpress.com

Students and faculty at Greenacres Middle School (GMS) celebrated 60 years of Mustang Pride Friday, Oct 25 during a very special celebration assembly called “Bringing Back the 60’s.”

Students and faculty were treated to hearing from a former mustang principal, Kathy Bouck, about the history of GMS. “A few years before GMS opened its doors in 1959, this all was just farmland for miles around. A local man who owned it, donated it so the parish could build a school. Having been a graduate of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, his only condition upon donating it was that it have a mustang for its mascot and retain SMU’s colors of blue and red,” Bouck said.

Mrs. Bouck came to GMS in 1991 from Texas, where she was working as a school counselor.

She taught eighth grade English until she was awarded a counselor position in 1993. Five years later in 1998, she became the assistant principal at GMS and then in 2004 was selected to be the principal. She was the school’s principal for 11 years before retir-

ing in 2015.

“Everything you see around you has grown and developed from a small school on a piece of

farmland to the learning complex you see today,” she added. “It has been a product of the hard work of the community, its administrators and teachers throughout the years to give you, the students, the boost you need to carry you into high school and to your careers beyond.”

Upon conclusion of the celebration, students presented GMS Principal Arthur James with a commemorative picture, which blends GMS of 60 years ago with that of today.

“This is a proud day for us,” said James,”60 years is a long time to be in existence. From the two buildings early on to where we are today and the number of students that we have, the diversity that we have, and the strides that we have made thus far — we continue to strive to do better things as we move forward.”

During the celebratory assembly, students were entertained by the GMS Choir, cheerleaders, and Prancers.

Keeping with the theme of the 60‘s, the GMS Choir performed “Reach Out, I’ll be there,” a No. 1 pop hit from 1966 performed by the Four Tops. GMS Choir student, Austin Miles, was the featured soloist.

Bossier City saves millions by refinancing debt

From Staff Reports

newsroom@bossierpress.com

BATON ROUGE – Local governments in Louisiana are saving more than $9.3 million for taxpayers by refinancing higher interest rate debt at a lower cost, according to State Treasurer John Schroder.

Bossier City was one of the areas that will see costs saved, to a

tune of more than $5.2 million.

“Every little bit helps when it comes to managing taxpayer dollars, and sound financial practices in government are priceless,” said Treasurer Schroder.

The State Bond Commission met October 17 and approved eight local entities’ requests to refinance debt.

The State Bond Commission receives applications from par-

ishes, municipalities, special taxing districts, and other political subdivisions requesting authority to incur debt or levy taxes. These applications are reviewed for compliance with Constitutional and statutory requirements and the ability to repay any debt incurred.

“A couple of projects that we have on the books are a wing ad-

dition at Haughton High School, which will include an administrative area along with 22 additional classrooms. Another project is a Cope band room. The board

is currently looking at additional classrooms at Benton Middle,” Downey said.

He also said the board wants to host a town hall meeting Nov. 18, explaining, “We want to communicate with our partners of the community and get their thoughts and ideas and strengthen that collaborative effort.”

Guest speaker Bossier High School Principal David Thrash revealed that over the last 14 years, he has lost 109 highly qualified teachers.

“I lost five highly qualified teachers in two weeks prior to the starting of school. I say that to tell you this — we cannot continue with this trend of losing these people to Caddo, DeSoto, and Webster. And, that’s where I ask the Chamber to continue to work with Bossier Parish Schools,” Thrash said.

Thrash added that even though Bossier High School has lost many highly qualified teachers, his school, staff and students have

achieved success.

“Bossier High moved at the highest growth of a school performance score. We moved from the high 50’s through the 60’s. And, when they release our school report card in November, Bossier High will be a B school,” said Thrash.

Speaker Lisa Burns, W.T. Lewis Elementary principal and 201920 Louisiana Elementary Principal of the Year, spoke about overseeing a high-achieving socioeconomic school and the challenges that accompany that.

“We work with a wide variety of backgrounds and abilities at our school. But we are breaching performance gaps in big ways,” Burns said. “I started by creating a vision for our school. And, our vision is we teach and learn for success today and tomorrow.

That vision is focused on success, not just right now, but extending beyond into the future for our students.”

BUILDING Continued from Page 1A In 2006, dePyssler initiated a similar fund for the Northwest Louisiana War Veterans Home in Bossier City. His initial investment of $50,000 has now paid out $195,650 to the home and $230,780 is in the trust.

“I expect the dePyssler MSG Scholarship fund to do even better than the veteran’s home,” said dePyssler.

Col. dePyssler has worked with the state legislatures to develop the Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal and other legislators. He has also played a vital part in the development of the Northwest Louisiana War Veterans Home, the War Memorial at the Bossier City Civic Center, and the Purple Heart Stamp. He is devoted to the Ark-La-Tex Mili-

tary Officers Association of American Chapter Scholarship Fund and editor of two military and retiree newspapers.

Col. dePyssler was born in Chicago, Ill. on July 21, 1919. He served 38 years of active-duty service, and is the only known American to have served in four wars.

Officer Weaver concluded his report by saying, “At first contact with the infant, I saw the baby was not responsive, lethargic and had a blank stare…

There is not a doubt in my mind that Officer Sunderland’s quick response and action at the scene saved this infant’s life.”

Hearing of Sunderland’s heroic acts, Chief Pilkinton, nominated Sunderland, a 14-year law enforcement veteran, for the Life Saving Award from the American Police Hall of Fame & Museum.

“Officer Weaver had come to me and told me what had happened and thought that maybe Sun-

derland needed to be recognized. But with this circumstance, I thought it needed a little bit more then just a ‘Thank you for what you did.’ So, I nominated him to the American Police Hall of Fame & Museum,” Pilkinton said.

Pilkinton said he did so because he was proud of Sunderland’s actions and that he was able to save a life.

“He’s a very good police officer. He cares about this town, the people, and it shows. I’m proud to have him here on my team,” Pilkinton said. “I cannot run this town without good police officers. It’s a two way street — we all help each other, we all work together as a team. That’s

what makes us such a good police department.”

Echoing Pilkinton’s comments about the heroic acts of Officer Sunderland, Benton Mayor Shelly Horton said that the Town of Benton is proud to have an officer of this caliber on its staff.

“Officer Sunderland’s quick thinking and response saved a precious life. When the situation arose, he provided the skills that made the difference in a life or death situation. The Town of Benton is very proud and honored to have an officer of this caliber on staff. Thanks to Officer Sunderland and all first responders for the service you provide to us on a daily basis,” said Horton.

He added that it can be an example of projects yet to come.

“We’re going to do the Jimmy Davis Bridge, we’re going to finish I-49, and we’re going to continue to make improvements.”

Gatti called the project an economic development project, noting he talked to a business owner near the I-20/220 junction who told Gatti that he had “just built a city of 16,000 people next to my restaurant.”

Once the project is completed, thousands of acres east of the base’s primary operations areas will be open to future development.

“We’re going to see some expansive growth in Haughton, Doyline, and north Bossier,” Gatti forecasted. “Secondarily, it’s infrastructure. But we were able to put all those things together so that we can grow the economy in Bossier.”

He noted that there were some bumps along the road, but they continued to fight and thanked Peacock, Bossier Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Johnson, Parish Administrator Bill Altimus, and Bossier Parish Engineer Butch Ford for their efforts to show unity.

Gatti summed it up as a “big deal.”

“There were three projects that were funded through the GARVEE bonds. One was the widen-

ing of I-10 in Baton Rouge, one was an exit to the international airport in New Orleans. This was the only other project that was funded.”

The $71.8 million project had been a part of the state’s Transportation Master Plan for many years, but had no environmental clearance or funding source identified. In January 2018, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), moved to utilize Grant Anticipation Revenue (GARVEE) bonds for funding and utilized the design-build method of project delivery that expedites project delivery by combining the design and construction phases.

The project broke ground in May this year.

Agencies clean up hazardous spill From Staff Reports

newsroom@bossierpress.com

A tractor-trailer hauling a piece of oil field equipment leaked hazardous material last week over an approximate 8-mile stretch roadway stretching from northbound I-49, onto La. Hwy. 2 and continuing to just east of La. Hwy. 3.

Officers from the parish police jury’s Commercial

Vehicle Enforcement Unit (CVEU), responding to a request from the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, stopped the vehicle. State DOTD crews were called to the scene and applied sand to the areas of spill.

Officials said the substance, which reportedly leaked through a faulty valve on a unit known as a “gas buster,” was identified as oil-based mud. Citations

were issued to the driver of the rig.

Agencies involved in the incident included Bossier Parish’s CVEU, Caddo and Bossier Sheriff’s Offices, DOTD, the Louisiana State Police, the state Dept. of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Bossier Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Access Denied eBook embargo unfair to library readers

We’re sorry, but there are 374 people ahead of you in line for our one copy of the eBook you’ve been anticipating all year.

This is the message public libraries like Bossier Parish Libraries will be forced to relay to readers of eBooks published by Macmillan Publishers this fall.

Millions of people now use digital content as their preferred - or only - access to books, and yet the two-month embargo on new titles, to be imposed

by Macmillan Publishers on November 1, will make it difficult for libraries to fulfill our central mission: ensuring access to information and content for all.

ANDREA Libraries bring authors, GILMER publishers, teachers, and readers together for the purpose of boosting knowledge, creativity, literacy, ideas, and imagination. Libraries and library users are allies, not adversaries.

This is true for so many reasons: • Most of us can’t afford to buy every book that interests us. The library is a place of limitless learning opportunities for all, not just those with the money or inclination to buy books.

• The Macmillan policy harms library patrons with disabilities or learning issues. eBooks can easily become large-print books, and most eBook readers offer options that make reading easier for people with dyslexia.

• Readers living in remote locations, and those without the ability to go to a physical library, along with students and researchers who need content from numerous sources, will also be negatively affected.

• Our military service men and women deployed overseas only have access to books through our digital platforms. Many of our local Barksdale airmen and women use their Bossier Parish Libraries’ card to access eBooks while deployed.

Bossier Parish is home to an estimated population of 127,000. Enforcing the embargo for a library system the size of Bossier Parish Libraries will result in readers waiting a year or more to borrow an eBook in some instances.

The policy will also punish authors. Bossier Parish Libraries is willing to buy multiple copies of books that patrons want to read, even though libraries pay as much as four times the cover price for most eBooks.

Finally, Macmillan’s policy harms booksellers. People who frequent libraries also frequently buy books. Readers are often known to download an eBook from the library and then be inspired to purchase more titles by the same author from a bookseller.

There is no data to support the idea that every copy borrowed from a library means a sale lost to a publisher.

There are an estimated 116,867 libraries in the U.S. In 2018, Bossier Parish Libraries saw almost 400,000 visitors come through our doors and had more than 70,000 eBook and eAudiobooks check out, and those numbers are trending upward for 2019. As more and more people choose to read on mobile devices, we join libraries across the country in striving to meet readers’ needs and we need to find innovative ways to collaborate with publishers, not limit access.

Libraries must remain vigilant about ensuring fair access, which is why we’re asking Macmillan to reverse its new policy. You can learn more about what is happening with eBooks at https://ebooksforall.org/.

Let’s revise this chapter in eBook access history so that library patrons will be able to read the books they want. We’d much prefer to send our readers the following message this fall: Your eBook is ready to download.

Andrea Gilmer is Community Engagement Librarian for the Bossier Parish Libraries

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Answering claims made

by Gerald Holland

Gerald Holland’s letter crosses many lines, but he has been a long-time rock-thrower for the Mills campaign. His unsubstantiated lies are nothing new.

Mills and his multiple special interests PACS have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars misleading my constituents about my record. Helping bring stability to LSU Medical School, negotiating retention of 750 jobs with Fibrebond, drafting legislation to shut down the Bossier Abortion Clinic, passing Katie Bug’s Law and Solan’s Law are just a few of our accomplishments he wants to distract you from.

Holland says I moved from Shreveport into my district—that is simply not true.

Except for my time at LSU Baton Rouge, Bossier Parish has been my only place of residence. Incidentally, I have also had a church home in Bossier Parish my entire life. I currently attend the church where I was baptized, Cypress Baptist, where I teach 12th grade boys Bible School.

Here’s what Holland doesn’t want you to know: Mills was asked to move into District 36 by lobbyists from Baton Rouge.

Mills announced for office in May of 2018 and then moved from Southern Trace in Shreveport to Bossier in June of 2018.

He registered to vote in Bossier RYAN Parish 18 days before the one- GATTI year deadline to run in the 2019 elections. Mills was not a resident before he announced and, to this day, his house in Shreveport has not been sold.

To the lobbyists, none of the 120,000 folks living in District 36 were loyal enough to take the senate seat. So, they went looking outside the District lines.

Out of the 4.1 million folks living in the state and out of district, why did the special interests pick Mr. Mills to run and move? Why did he say yes?

If Mills will move his family for the lobbyists, is there anything he won’t do for them once he gets to Baton Rouge?

Holland can’t answer that question. Instead, he slings mud, so you don’t get to think about your answer. Take a minute and write down your answer to that question: If Mills will move his family for the lobbyists, is there anything he won’t do for them once he gets to Baton Rouge?

Holland fails to admit that Mills, at the request of special interest groups, moved his wife and stepchildren to Bossier for his political aspirations. It takes a lot of negative ads to cover the smell of that, and Holland’s multiple letters are a big part of that plan.

Holland continues his tall tales by saying I am supported by bad groups. Mr. Holland knows I have been friends with the Governor since the first day of law school. Mr. Holland knows I rarely vote for the Governor’s agenda, because he and I don’t agree on many issues. But when we do agree, like with Foster Care Reform, we work together. Holland also fails to say that civility and Christian friendship do not require public arguing.

Mr. Holland views my civility and statesmanship as a weakness and, after reading his letters, anyone can see we are not cut from the same cloth. Holland should dig up my middle school yearbook; he would discover I’ve had a record for friendliness my entire life. Even at an early age, I was voted friendliest by my middle school peers.

Holland tells another self-serving lie.

He states I own my law office building and the state pays me rent for my senate office. This, too, is a slanderous lie.

I rented my office building from a local company, and I do not own it. The office is located at the corner of Shed Road and Benton Road in Bossier Parish and is easily accessible to my entire district.

Rental rates are extremely high in my

district and, in order to save the state money, Senators are allowed to have office space in or near their law office.

Mike Johnson and Alan Seabaugh also held their representative offices in the same office complex as their law offices.

If Mr. Holland had done his homework, he would have known my senate office is the least expensive district office in the State Senate. By having my office within a working office building, we save the State thousands of dollars a year.

Additionally, we are the only legislative office in the area that is manned from 8:00-5:00 every weekday. We maintain all of our office expenses at around $1,000.00 per month. The average legislative office spends much more on operation costs.

I’m clearly not in this for the money.

This is evidenced by the fact I have donated my salary to local charities over my term.

Mr. Holland also complains that folks have to commute to my office. My senate office is five minutes from 220 and I-20, and we have received no complaints in four years on access. I have one of the largest senate districts in the state. So, we travel the districts on a regular basis to meet with constituents. We held over 70 town hall meetings in four parishes over four years—many in Mr. Holland’s area. He has never attended. He also failed to mention our satellite office in Minden, paid for by our campaign account, to better serve our constituents and save the state money.

Holland claims I built a church in my back yard. This is the only partially true statement in his editorial. In 2017, I built a barn in my back yard to work on cars with my elderly father. I grew up working at his wrecking yard and wanted to restore a few cars with him.

He does the work; I hold the light, just like old times. My friend asked me if he could use the building for a men’s Bible study. I said yes. For over two years, on the first Tuesday of every month, my childhood friend has hosted hundreds of men from all walks of life and all faiths. I have never worked on a car in the building. My friend asked me if he could name the barn “The Stable” because there is always room at the Stable, and Christ is the stabilizing force in a man’s life. There’s even room for Mr. Holland.

In anticipation of his next letter, here are the facts: I voted to reduce insurance rates and drafted bills to reduce insurance rates; I am for term limits; I voted against HB 10 in 2018 a 3.5 billion dollar 7 years sales tax; I did not give money to Hillary; I am a former Vice President of the Republican Party of Bossier; John Bel Edwards has been my friend for over 20 years; I am the only candidate endorsed by the NRA; I drafted 62 bills and 21 became law.

Lastly, Mr. Mills and Mr. Holland say I “fear losing” this race. On July 31, 2017, I lost my daughter after a 10-year battle with a brain injury caused during her birth. I can guarantee Mr. Holland that losing a race does not cause fear in my heart. I was in Haiti on a mission trip when I won this race in 2015. I am not a senator that goes to church; I am a Christian who happens to be a Senator. After reading Mr. Holland’s multiple letters to the editor about me, having reached out to him for meetings and been denied, and having learned he has no boundaries to slander my name publicly to get his special interests guy elected, I can promise him I will not lower my standards to get his approval. His candidate might be willing to move to win, but I won’t move from my standards to win a race.

Ryan Gatti Louisiana Senator Dist. 36

Rispone needs to speak up It seems every time Louisiana holds a major election voters are asked to entertain a slew of proposed amendments to the state Constitution.

In some instances, the proposed amendments concerned a minor tweaking. In other cases, however, a proposed amendment entailed what we would describe as a major revision to a Constitution that once was considered the finest state Constitution in America.

Cue Republican gubernatorial candidate Eddie Rispone, who has repeatedly stated he’s in favor of calling a constitutional convention to — we to have to assume — rewrite Louisiana’s Constitution. He has shared no details about the changes he would like to see made. All we know thus far is Rispone wishes to call a constitutional convention, assuming he’s elected governor in the Nov. 16 run-off election against Gov. John Bel Edwards.

On the surface, Rispone’s position should not be considered extreme under any circumstances. There are scores of Louisianians who argue the state’s Constitution needs to undergo a revision of some sort.

Some folks claim the existing Constitution needs to be deep-sixed altogether and an entirely new Constitution should be written.

Before voters embrace the constitutional rewrite craze, there are a host of questions Rispone should answer. After all, he’s a candidate for governor, and he’s on record in favor of conducting a constitutional convention.

For starters, what is Rispone’s position on the Homestead Exemption? His allies in the big business community, including their army of highly paid lobbyists, have argued for years that Louisiana should do away with the Homestead Exemption.

Since the Homestead Exemption relieves homeowners from paying parish property taxes on the first $75,000 in value of their homes, it’s only reasonable for a homeowner to wonder how much money it’s going to cost them if a Rispone-led constitutional convention is successful in abolishing the Homestead Exemption.

State funding for public education comes to mind. The Minimum Foundation Program, which is set in stone in the state Constitution, guarantees a certain level of state funding for K-12 public education. The Legislature can’t cut it though lawmakers can refuse to appropriate any money for a cost-of-living adjustment for the MFP. Would Rispone support abolishing the MFP and simply give the Legislature the sole authority to decide exSAM actly how much money pubHANNA JR. lic education should receive from the state on an annual basis? Would better performing local school systems get more money from the state than school systems that struggle to achieve basic proficiency? Would school systems located in south Louisiana get more money from the state than north Louisiana school systems in light of a power imbalance in the Legislature that favors south Louisiana lawmakers?

The right to bear arms comes to mind, too. Just a few years ago, Louisiana voters approved an amendment to the state Constitution that strengthened gun owner rights.

State Sen. Neil Riser of Columbia authored the amendment. It’s considered one of the strongest gun ownership provisions in any state Constitution across the country.

Would Rispone stand by the amendment or would he be open to abandoning it in order to get something he wanted elsewhere, such as lower taxes for big businesses?

These are just a few questions concerning a few issues that most likely are of serious concern to more than a few Louisiana voters.

I have no idea where Rispone stands on any of it. And that’s the point. He needs to speak up.

The Haughton Bucs clinched a share of the Bossier Parish middle school eighth-grade district championship with a 34-8 victory over the Greenacres Mustangs last week at M.D. Ray Field at Airline Stadium.

Haughton finished 6-1 overall and 4-1 in district.

Cope (5-1, 3-1), which defeated Elm Grove 48-0 last week, had a chance to earn a share of the title with a vic-

tory over Greenacres on Tuesday.

In the other eighth-grade game last week, Benton defeated Rusheon at Benton.

Cope clinched a share of the seventh-grade district title with a 38-0 victory over Elm Grove.

The Cougars (6-0, 4-0) led Benton (5-1, 4-1) by one game with Tuesday’s game against Greenacres remaining.

Benton defeated Rusheon in its final game.

In the other seventhgrade game last week,

Haughton got past Greenacres 38-28.

At Airline, Brayden Stovall, Bryson Hinkie and Amarion Lars all scored touchdowns in Haughton’s eighth-grade victory.

Carter Ebarb kicked two extra points.

Haughton coach Darin Walker praised the play of the defense. Jakendrick Delaney and Jaylen Carey had interceptions.

Chase Tolbert, Jason Zahm and Ahmad Richardson all had sacks.

“I’m really proud of this year’s eighth-grade team,” Walker said. “We lost our starting quarterback in the jamboree and then lost our first game but they persevered, continued to get better, and went 6-0 to finish the season.”

Jalen Lewis suffered a broken leg in the jamboree.

The Benton defense converges on a Southwood ballcarrier during last week’s victory at Tiger Stadium.

Bossier, Benton wins bright spots in rough week for parish teams

For the most part, Week 8 of the high school football season was a rough one for Bossier Parish teams.

There were a couple of bright spots, though.

The Bossier Bearkats defeated Mansfield 41-22 at home for their first District 1-3A victory. The victory assured Bossier of its first winning Sports Editor season since 2012.

The Benton Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 44-25 Russell victory over Hedges Southwood at Tiger Stadium. It was the Tigers’ first district victory as a member of 1-5A. Otherwise, the news is as bad as the weather teams had to play in last Friday night.

The Haughton Bucs fell to Captain Shreve 14-7 in their District 1-5A show-

Friday’s games

Airline at Benton, 7 Green Oaks at Bossier, 7 Parkway vs. Southwood, at Lee Hedges Stadium, 7 Natchitoches Central at Haughton, 7 Homer at Plain Dealing, 7

down. Even worse, starting quarterback Peyton Stovall hurt his ankle trying to score on Haughton’s first drive and didn’t return.

CJ McWilliams moved from his wide receiver position to quarterback, something he also had to do late last season. But with the score tied at 7 in the third quarter, McWilliams suffered a shoulder injury at the end of a 25-yard run. As of press time, he was expected to miss at least two weeks but could return for the playoffs.

Stovall’s status is less

certain. He has been playing through a high ankle sprain all season. Brotherton said the injury he suffered against Shreve appeared to be higher on the same ankle, making it worse.

Airline suffered its first District 1-5A loss, losing to Byrd 21-6. The Vikings fell out of a tie for first with Captain Shreve.

Airline still controls its own fate. If the Vikings (62, 4-1) defeat Benton (4-1, 1-4) at Benton Friday night, they will go into the season finale against Captain Shreve with a chance to earn a share of the title

or perhaps win it outright.

There is a scenario in District 1-5A where Airline, Shreve, Haughton and Byrd could all share the title with two losses each. Benton would have to upset Airline for that to have any chance of happening.

Elsewhere last week, the Parkway Panthers lost to Natchitoches Central 33-14 in a District 1-5A game in Natchitoches, and the Plain Dealing Lions lost to top-ranked Calvary Baptist 62-8 in a District 1-1A game at Calvary.

In other District 1-5A games Friday, Parkway (44, 2-3) plays Southwood (0-8, 0-5) at Lee Hedges Stadium and Haughton (62, 3-2) hosts Natchitoches Central (3-5, 2-3). Captain Shreve (7-1, 5-0) and Byrd (3-5, 3-2) face off at Lee Hedges Thursday.

In District 1-3A, Bossier (6-2, 1-2) hosts Green Oaks (2-6, 0-2). In

The high school volleyball regular season ends Saturday.

The District 1-II champion Haughton Lady Bucs and the District 1-I runnerup Airline Lady Vikings will be going to the playoffs.

At press time, the Parkway Lady Panthers still had a shot at making the Division I playoffs. The Lady Panthers (18-11 through Sunday) defeated Alexandria and Loyola College Prep last week and lost a tough five-setter to Natchtitoches Central.

Parkway was scheduled to face West Monroe Tuesday and North Caddo Wednesday then close the regular season in the Dunham tournament. More wins could move the Lady Panthers into the top 32 in the final power rankings, which would put them in the playoffs.

Second-year program Benton won’t be going into the playoffs, but the Lady Tigers won for the first time in the gym at the new school last week, defeating Mansfield in straight sets.

Haughton completed a perfect 10-0 run in District 1-II without losing a set last week. The Lady Bucs closed district play with straight-set wins over Huntington and Booker T. Washington.

Haughton entered the week 12-13 overall with three matches left, including one against Benton.

Regardless of the outcomes, the Lady Bucs will likely be on the road in the first round of the Division II playoffs.

Airline entered the week 20-13, the third straight season the Lady Vikings have reached the 20-win mark.

decided the district championship. The Lady Vikings bounced back with a four-set victory over Haughton.

Airline was scheduled to play Captain Shreve Tuesday then close the regular season in the Dunham tournament. The Lady Vikings were on the bubble as far as hosting a Division I firstround game.

A good showing in the tournament could put them in the top 16 in the final power rankings. If that happens, Airline will be at home in the first round for the second year in a row.

First-round playoff matches in Division I and II must be played by Thursday, Nov. 7.

Two Airline players who are in the home stretch of outstanding high school careers excelled against Haughton.

Gabby Patronis had a double-double with 12 aces and 10 assists against Haughton. Tori Ligman had 19 digs.

Haughton’s Mia McWilliams had another good all-around match with a team-high 15 assists, six digs, four kills and two aces.

She had a combined 39 aces against Huntington and BTW. Arielle Emanuel had 13 digs against Airline.

Gracyn Badiali had 11 kills and seven aces in BenJEFF THOMAS/PRESS-TRIBUNE ton’s win over Mansfield. Benton’s Abbie Rutledge goes high for a shot against Kaitlyn Masters had five Byrd last week. aces.

District 1-1A, Plain Dealing (4-4, 2-3) hosts Homer (4-4, 4-1).

The Benton-Airline game will be the first one ever between the schools on the football field.

Despite its loss last week, Airline is the favorite.

Airline head coach Bo Meeks isn’t one to make excuses. But last week’s weather conditions weren’t exactly conducive to the Vikings’ offensive style of play. A heavy misting rain fell throughout the contest after it rained for most of the day.

Airline had just 156 total yards, including 37 passing. The Vikings came into the game averaging about 235 yards per game through the air.

Meanwhile, Byrd’s option offense controlled the ball for 33 of the game’s 48 minutes. The Yellow Jackets threw just one pass.

Benton’s defense has had its issues this season, but the Tigers came through against Southwood. Three of the four Cowboys’ touchdowns came on defense and special teams.

The Tigers will certainly have a chance Friday night, but it will likely take their best game of the season to win.

Natchitoches Central will provide a challenge for Haughton. Of course, the Bucs’ quarterback situation could make things even more interesting.

Christian Turner scored all of the Bucs’ touchdowns in the seventh-grade victory.

Cody Salas had an interception and Harley Ingram had a sack.

At Preston Crownover, Trey Jackson rushed for 284 yards on just nine carries and scored on runs of 50, 20 and 10 yards to lead Cope to the eighth-grade victory. He also had a 75-yard run.

Markell Hampton had 52 yards rushing on four carries.

He scored two touchdowns and two conversions.

Jeremiah Boudreaux gained 40 yards on five carries and scored a touchdown.

Conner McConathy passed for one conversion and ran for one.

Hampton also had an impact on defense, making five tackles and returning an interception 59 yards for a touchdown.

Champ Endris returned an interception 34 yards. He also had two solo tackles and two assists.

Brandon Sanders forced a fumble and recovered one.

He also had three solo tackles and two assists.

Sincere Walker had four tackles, one sack and another tackle for a 7-yard loss.

Coach Ray Smith praised the play of Jeremiah Fleming on defense and special teams. He made his first tackle of the season.

“He’s just an all-around great kid,” Smith said. “It was a special moment for him.”

At Benton, Jayden McNeill scored the Tigers’ first touchdown in the seventhgrade victory on an 8-yard run. Lannon Collum hit Cole Austin for the conversion.

After Whit Van Hoy recovered a fumble forced by Corey Dunson, Collum competed a 20-yard pass to Justin Slaid. That set up a 25-yard touchdown pass from Collum to Austin.

The Tigers then got a safety on Luke Campbell’s tackle in the end zone.

Slaid returned a kickoff 48 yards for a touchdown and Collum ran in the conversion.

After Brody Brunyx recovered a fumble at the Rusheon 1, Tirey Robinson scored.

Landon Sandifer scored Benton’s final touchdown on a 10-yard run, the most popular play of the game.

“We want to thank the Rusheon Middle School football team and coaching staff for their cooperation and sportsmanship,” Benton coach Jared Stowell said.

“They were super awesome and a class act.”

Quarterback Jeff King and Mike Miles scored two touchdowns each for the victorious eighth-grade Tigers.

Both of King’s came on sneaks. A 36-yard pass to the 1 set up his first TD. Miles’ TDs were both 5yard runs.

Turner Hubbard scored two conversions and Hudson Brignac had one.

Colton Lasiter and Caden Lee had interceptions. Brayden Jackson forced a fumble recovered by Conner Gibbs.

Ty Parker and Cody Wilhite were also among the defensive standouts.

The Chiefs could easily be in the thick of the district race, having lost to Byrd 9-7 and Captain Shreve 10-7. Last week, they had 361 yards rushing against Parkway (per Parkway stats).

But Haughton’s defense is playing well, including an outstanding effort against Shreve, and I look for the Bucs to find a way to win.

The score in the Parkway-Natchitoches Central game is deceptive. The Panthers were very much in the game last week, trailing just 20-14 late in the third quarter.

But Natchitoches Central scored twice in the fourth quarter, including a fumble return in the last minute. As mentioned above, Parkway just couldn’t stop the Chiefs’ running attack.

At No. 26 in the Class 5A power rankings, according to louisianasportsline.com, the Panthers could make the playoffs without winning another game. But a win Friday should seal the deal.

The Cowboys are a dangerous team with nothing to lose. They led Benton in the third quarter. Southwood has not won a district game on the field in 10 years.

I don’t look for the drought to end Friday.

Bossier pulled away late in its win over Mansfield.

The Bearkats defense and special teams set up the of-

fense with good field position. James Davis continues to be one of the area’s best all-around players. He rushed for 101 yards and scored three touchdowns, including a 62-yard reception. He also recovered a fumble on a kickoff return and returned a punt 42 yards.

At No. 14 in the Class 3A power rankings, Bossier has a decent shot at hosting a first-round playoff game.

Green Oaks lost to a good Union Parish team 55-20 last week. The Giants played Loyola close in Week 5 and defeated Mansfield 32-8 in Week 6. They won’t be a pushover by any means, but I expect the Bearkats to come out on top.

Plain Dealing’s lopsided loss to Calvary, a 1A team with 5A talent, was hardly a surprise.

After starting the season 0-3, Homer has won four of five, all in district play, with its only loss to Calvary 56-6. The Pelicans defeated Magnolia School of Excellence 46-6 last week.

Regardless of Friday’s outcome, Plain Dealing could be home in the first round of the playoffs. The Lions are No. 12 in the power rankings, two spots higher than Homer. They close the regular season against Magnolia.

HISTORY

few things of interest are coming up

This week in library news, I have a few things of interest to mention. First, it’s time for our Give for Good drives again! That means that if you donate food items for the NWLA Food Bank, new and unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots, or a coat for Porter’s Coat Drive, you will be entered into a drawing for a Kindle Fire. We actually have three to give away, one for each drive, and you can enter each drive as many times as you want. Every time you donate, you get a raffle ticket! Give for Good runs from November 1 – 30, so you have the entire month of November to give.

For the second item of interest, I have something that’s a bit more of an opportunity for us to help make life just a bit easier for our patrons because we are expanding our Curbside Pickup service! This service, as you may recall, started at our Aulds, Central, and East 80 locations but on November 1 it will roll out at all of our library locations!

As a recap, Curbside Pickup is what you can infer from the name: a service you can use to have your holds brought out to your car. I’m sure there are times when you’ve requested an item, and you’ve gotten the call or text or email letting you know it’s arrived at your library, but now you have the kids or your dog or groceries in the car and the thought of having to run in to grab that thing you’ve been waiting for is just a bridge too far. Or, what about those times when you’re not feeling well and don’t want to have to get out of your vehicle? Now you can have your hold brought to you!

Here’s how it will work: you get notification that your hold is ready for you to check out, you arrive at your branch and park in the spot designated for Curbside Pickup – don’t worry, we’ll have it labeled – and then you call us. The phone number will be your library’s main number so you don’t have to find a special line to call, and when we answer you simply tell us that you’re here for your hold in Curbside Pickup.

We’ll ask you for your name and you’ll answer a verification

The Hauntings of Oakland Plantation

question or two so we can be certain we’re bringing you the right thing. And then, like the magical beings librarians are, we will appear with your holds. We will also ask to see your library card or ID when we get to your vehicle, just a continuation of that ANNIE GILMER verification process, and then you are good to go!

We hope these bits of library news brightened up your day!

Before the invention and everyday use of the television, people would gather around the radio for news and entertainment. Well, in 1938, KTBS-AM aired a series called “Can They Return?” every Tuesday at 8 pm. On March 1, 1938, the hauntings of the antebellum house of Oakland Plantation on Sligo Road was the subject of the show.

At the time of the broadcast, Grace Pettet; her mother, Mrs. H.B. Harris; her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hughes, and their two children were the occupants of the home.

Two days after the broadcast, an article written by Freddie Kolstad ran in The Times, providing a written account of the transmission from Oakland Plantation.

The following are excerpts from the article: “Attempting to answer the oft-pondered question, “Can they return?” several members of the KTBS staff visited the 100-year-old house Tuesday night and used it as the scene of their broadcast. The short wave transmitter et was installed in the wide hall of Oakland, and members of the station’s staff, accompanied by the occupants at the house, made a thorough tour of the structure, from front porch to cellar.

"Their trip up and down the narrow flights of stairs and through each room was broadcast over the transmitter and was tied in with a station broadcast from the studio in Shreveport. At the studio the story of old Colonel Sutton, who had built his own coffin at Oakland and had slept in it nightly for years before he died, was told. Emphasis was placed on the eerie footsteps heard at night that many believe to be the colonel’s tread as he haunts his former home trying to find some one to whom he may reveal the spot where he buried gold which he hid from the Yankees shortly before the Civil war.”

Legends of supernatural activity at the more than 180-year-old antebellum home have been spread over the past century.

As legends go, the details are subject to change over the years, but for the most part, they share the same general points.

The story told the night of the broadcast is perhaps, the most common legend told; however, this is the first version of the story I have heard that identifies the ghost as being Colonel Sutton.

Many believe that the hauntings of Oakland Plantation are the ghost of Dr.

Skannal, who called Oakland Plantation home from 1844 until his death in 1876.

It has been told that Dr. Skannal purchased his coffin years before his death and placed it in the attic, where he re- AMY ROBERTSON portedly took naps in it. Dr. Skannal, many believed, was a fun-loving jokester when alive, and after his death, he continued playing practical jokes by haunting his old home.

Other stories are that Dr. Skannal murdered his wife and kept her body in the coffin, and the body was discovered only after his death. And some think that these hauntings are the specters of the young Skannal children that died at Oakland.

Phenomena reported over the years include people waking up to find their covers stripped off the bed and in the corner of the room.

The thermostat is adjusted to freezing temperatures. And of glass milk jugs falling over, and the rocking chair rocking with no explanation.

There are tales of headless horsemen and horses trotting through the vast hallway. There are sounds of footsteps in the attic, and chains scraping the floor.

The radio knobs have been seen moving on their own, and items have been seen falling off flat surfaces. Objects will vanish moments after setting it down only to reappear later.

Other eerie happenings reported over the years are sightings of a woman in white. One account tells of a cold draft of air that moved through the library and resulted in the fireplace lighting by itself.

And the sensation that someone or something is breathing on your neck. While more recent accounts involve finding all the kitchen cabinet doors opened, and a photograph was taken, which captured the image of a ghost baby.

OBITUARIES

Buford Lee Moyers Princeton, LA - Buford Lee Moyers entered this world March 17, 1943. He was born to Dorothy and Charles Moyers of Cape Girardeau, MO. He was preceded in death by his mother, father and his brother, Scotty.

He is survived by his siblings, Elanie, Sharon, Ronny, Jimmy, and David.

He is also survived by Ms. Sue Moyers, who was the love of his life and his son, Buford Eugene Moyers and wife Marie.

Buford and Sue moved to Louisiana in 1978. They have been a very big part of the community for the past thirty-six and a half years through Sue’s Country Kitchen. They not only supported our local Air Force, Army, and Naval Reserves, but also our Wounded Warriors. Buford was a veteran that served six years in the Army.

He was dedicated to the kitchen. He was at work three-hundred and sixty-five days a year in the hospital. However, despite his hard working manner, he could appreciate a good joke and occasionally a bad joke.

On October 6, 2019, Buford accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. His son Buf witnessed his acceptance and was relieved and proud of his dads’ salvation.

He made sure that his family was taken care of and provided. He not only loved children, but he was crazy about his fur babies.

He will be missed, as he was called home on October 14, 2019.

Services were held to celebrate Buford’s life at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 at Hill Crest Memorial Chapel with Pastor Ken Richmond officiating. Interment followed at Hill Crest Memorial Park.

What PT can do for you A

distraught woman wheels her 42-year-old husband into a physical for a scheduled appointment. The man was recently involved in a motor vehicle accident, suffered traumatic injuries and both are looking at the physical therapist with a sense of hopelessness.

They have two young children and he needs to rehabilitate to provide for his family. One month of therapy and the man is able to walk with a walker. Two months later, the man is able to steadily able to walk without a walker. Three months, and the man is walking normally and able to return to work fulltime.

This is just a small glimpse of what physical therapy can do. Physical therapy is not just treating the patient but also establishing a valuable relationship with the patient, family and other healthcare providers involved in reaching meaningful goals. Every clinic setting is unique in structure, all share a common core value of providing patients with the best care in helping them

reach their goals.

Did you know patients can walk into a physical therapy clinic without needing a medical doctor’s prescription ?

For example‌ lets say you have back pain, you can schedule an appointment and be evaluated and discuss your plan without seeing your doctor. We evaluate your problems, coordinate with your doctor and start care right away. If we need to refer you out, or get more information, we get that started along with other members of your medical team.

Just like how patients have annual physicals, patients can schedule regular check-ups from physical therapists to avoid future injury. Physical therapists are well prepared to provide the public with preventative care; from postural correction/ergonomics, identifying muscular weakness/flexibility, and/or proper footwear, we can be the frontend of this process, leading to less cost for the patient.

While many recognize the outpatient orthopedic setting, many other settings of physical therapy exist. Someone re-

covering from a stroke or spinal cord injury will partake in neurological rehab.

A child that is having trouble walking because they have cerebral palsy will partake in pediatric rehab. A patient dealing with a non-healing diabetic foot sore will partake in wound-care rehab.

Someone who had a knee replacement is going to be seen by an acute physical therapist the day of the surgery. A patient who has had a recent stroke and is not safe enough to go home will participate in inpatient rehab. If the patient is safe enough to go home but cannot find transportation to get to an outpatient clinic, a home-health therapist will come provide treatment at their home.

There are so many ways that physical therapy can help the public, let us be the avenue of change to make Shreveport a happy, healthy, and active city. Join us in celebrating National PT month by going to your therapist for a Fall Checkup.

Get ready for the coming holidays by addressing that nagging pain or difficulty that could make the coming year your best one!

Announcements/Superintendent’s Comments 4.01 Announcements/Superintendent’s Comments Fall Break October 7- 11, 2019 Buildings & Grounds Committee Meeting 5:00 PM October 15, 2019 at BIC Regular Session School Board Meeting 6:00 PM October 17, 2019 at BIC 2.04 Recognition: BPS “Good News!” (Presented by Sonja Bailes, Public Relations Liaison) Tonight we are recognizing some of our highest performing students in Bossier Parish.

Those whose academic achievements extend beyond Louisiana, and have caught the eye of the nation.

Beginning with Samuel Perez, a sophomore at Benton High School. Samuel, will you please come forward?

Samuel Perez is well on his way to being a future leader in medicine after receiving the 2019 Award of Excellence from the Congress of Future Medical Leaders.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists chose him to be a Louisiana representative at its symposium held at UMass Lowell, just outside of Boston, MA. The Congress gathers many of the country’s finest high school students who aspire to enter careers in the medical field and singles them out for special recognition and ongoing mentorship by some of the greatest minds in medicine.

Samuel was introduced to top medical school deans, award-winning inventors and scientists, heard from Nobel Prize laureates and was exposed to cutting edge medicine.

We have a special award for you and I would like to invite Lisa Clement, Leslie Vollmer, Jessica Wimberly and Kris Darwin to the front to assist in presenting it.

They are representatives with Coldwell Banker Gosslee, who sponsor the Award of Excellence commemorative medallion that we present to those students and employees that achieve at the highest levels.

It is our honor to bestow this Award of Excellence to you. Best of luck as you pursue your dream career in medicine.

=================================================================== Three other students are being singled out for emerging as the top high school students in the nation.

Would Dario Cosic, Shannon Mathers and Cameron Thomas please join me?

This trio learned recently they have advanced as National Merit Scholar Semi-Finalists.

To put that in perspective, more than 1.6 million students each year take the qualifying exam for this honor and only 16,000 are chosen as Semi-Finalists.

Being named a National Merit Scholar is considered the most prestigious academic honor in the nation at the high school level.

Dario is the secretary of his senior class at Parkway. He is also Vice President of the National Honor Society and is enrolled in the prestigious SMART program through Bossier Schools.

Shannon is currently ranked number one in her class at Airline and actively involved in numerous school clubs and extracurricular activities. She is also Vice President of Airline’s Debate Team and has won numerous awards at debate competitions throughout the nation.

Cameron is also number one in his class at Benton, where he is the squad leader in Band, a member of the National Honor Society and medalist in chemistry at Literary Rally.

These three are now in contention as National Merit Scholar Finalists, with the National Merit Scholarship being the highest honor.

On behalf of Coldwell Banker Gosslee, we want to commend each of you for your academic success and honor you with the Award of Excellence.

Help us congratulate these three exceptional students!

Each of the students we recognized tonight has teachers to thank for motivating and encouraging them to learn and strive for more … and the stage is set early in the formative years.

Kathy Ivie is a kindergarten teacher at Apollo Elementary and the perfect example. The 26-year educator is everything you want in your child’s teacher. She’s bubbly, enthusiastic, dedicated, positive – and she always brings her A-game to school, which her colleagues will tell you is contagious!

Parents sing her praises, too.

One mom wrote, “Kathy has had a profound impact on my son’s education and future.

From the time we met her last year, she has given 100-percent of her time and endless hours helping her students inside and outside of the classroom. My son has special needs and Kathy never gave up on him while we were going through medication adjustments, psychological evaluations and behavioral concerns. She really has played a huge part in helping our son have a strong academic foundation for the rest of his life.”

As another mom attested, whose two sons have been in Mrs. Ivie’s class, “She has the most loving personality for those students. She is like Disney World every day. She has become more than a teacher to my boys. She has become my friend.”

When asked to describe her perfect day as a teacher, Mrs. Ivie summed it up like this: “It’s a day you come into the classroom and welcome kids from all walks of life. We create an environment where you make it fun and for them to want to learn. We create a family where every person is valued, and at the end of the day they go home and want to come back the next day to our family.”

That speaks volumes about the kind of teacher she is … and is why it is an honor to introduce you to the Gold Star winner for September … Kathy Ivie.

Joining us is Mrs. Ivie and Jill Valentine from Bossier Federal Credit Union, the sponsor of Bossier Schools’ Gold Star award. She has a presentation to make to Mrs. Ivie.

We also want to present her with the Award of Excellence, courtesy of Coldwell Banker Gosslee.

Thank you, Kathy Ivie, for the joy you bring to the classroom each day. We are blessed to call you one of ours.

Water Purveyor’s requirements.

Sec.122-137. Required backflow prevention assemblies or methods for containment.

Water Service Assemblies: (a) An air gap or an approved reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly is required for water services having one or more potential crossconnections which the administrative authority classifies as high hazard. (b) Fire Protection System Assemblies: (1) All proposed installations of fire suppression systems shall be reviewed by the Administrative Authority to determine the appropriate type of backflow prevention devices or methods required.

For all proposed fire suppression systems using an(2) tifreeze, a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device shall be installed at the point of entry. The customer shall provide the Administrative Authority with the design and chemical usage of the fire suppression system.

All existing fire suppression systems shall meet the re(3) quirements of Sec.122–122 above. An inspection by a fire suppression specialist shall be done to determine whether antifreeze has been utilized in the suppression system. The inspection shall be done at the expense of the customer. If it cannot be certified that antifreeze has been used, then a backflow prevention device shall be installed as prescribed by Table D104 and as approved by the Administrative Authority. Installation shall be at the expense of the customer. The required backflow prevention devices or methods shall be installed at the time the system is repaired or changed, or within twelve (12) months after adoption of this ordinance, whichever occurs first.

(4) In the event cross-connections, such as those found in using auxiliary water supply systems or in providing other water additives such as foaming agents, are necessary for the proper operation of the fire suppression system, then an air gap or a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention device shall be installed in an approved manner.

Sec.122-138. Registration. (a) Technician Registration: Any backflow prevention assembly technician licensed by the State of Louisiana must register with the administrative authority before performing work within The District. Any licensed backflow prevention assembly technician shall include his or her state registration number on all correspondence and forms required by or associated with this ordinance.

Sec.122-140. Installation of backflow prevention assemblies or methods.

The required backflow prevention assemblies or methods for containment shall be installed in the manner recommended by the manufacturer and in accord with the requirements of Sect. 605.3.1 and Sect. 608.17 through 618.2, immediately following the meter or as close to that location as deemed practical by the administrative authority. In any case, it shall be located upstream from any branch piping. Installation at this point does not eliminate the responsibility of the customer to protect the water supply system from contamination or pollution between the backflow prevention assembly or methods and the water main. (b) Reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies shall be installed so as to be protected from flooding. The port or discharge point shall be installed such that it is located at least 24 inches above the highest flood level which may have occurred in the previous ten (10) year period.

Reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies or (c) methods shall not be installed in underground vaults or pits, unless a gravity drainage system (designed by a Louisiana registered engineer) for the particular site has been approved by the state health officer. (The intent of the exception to this section is to possibly allow below grade installations on particular sites or lots having sufficiently hilly ground at the proposed location of the device such that when the vault or pit is constructed it may be equipped with positive gravity drainage openings as to prevent any part of the device from being submerged (d) All backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be protected from freezing. Those devices used for seasonal services may be removed in lieu of being protected from freezing; however, the devices must be reinstalled and tested by a registered backflow prevention assembly technician prior to service being reactivated.

If water is heated and stored in a consumer’s system and the (e) system has been closed by the installation of a backflow preventer or a pressure reducing valve, a thermal expansion control shall be installed at an accessible location between the checking device and the water heating equipment to limit thermal expansion of the water being heated to not more than 80 pounds per square inch (552 kPa) static pressure at any fixture on the system. A potable water expansion tank or auxiliary relief valve set at 80 psi (552 kPa) shall be acceptable; however, the auxiliary relief valve shall be in addition to the water heater safety relief valve. This thermal expansion control device shall be designed and trimmed for repeated operation. The valve shall be a minimum 1 ½ inch pipe size, shall be adjustable and calibrated, and shall include a tag describing its function. (f) Provisions shall be made to convey the discharge of water from reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies or methods to a suitable drain through an air gap. (g) No backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be installed in a place where they would create a safety hazard, such as, but not limited to, over an electrical panel, or above ceiling level. (h) If interruption of water service during testing and repair of backflow prevention assemblies or methods for containment is unacceptable to the customer, another backflow prevention assembly or method of equivalent or higher protection, sized to handle the temporary water flow needed during the time of testing or repair, shall be installed in parallel piping. (i) All backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be installed so that they are accessible for testing. (j) All shut-off valves shall conform with the current edition of the Uniform Construction Code (LAC 17:1, Chapter 1, §111) requirements for either ball or resilient seat gate valves. Full port ball valves shall be used on assemblies installed in piping two inches or smaller, and full port resilient wedge-type shut off valves on assemblies installed in piping larger than two inches.

Sec.122-141. Testing of backflow prevention assemblies or methods. (a) Testing of backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be performed by a backflow prevention assembly technician or by a backflow prevention assembly general tester registered with the administrative authority. The costs of tests required in the following paragraphs shall be borne by the customer. (b) Backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be tested upon installation; when cleaned, repaired, or overhauled; when relocated; and, shall be tested and inspected at least once annually. Backflow prevention devices shall be tested in accordance with CAN/CSA Standard B64.10-1994 or ASSE Standard 5010-1998. (c) Backflow prevention assemblies or methods which are in place, but have been out of operation for more than three (3) months, shall be tested before being put back into operation. Backflow prevention assemblies or methods used in seasonal applications shall be tested before being put into operation each season. (d) Any backflow prevention assembly or method which fails a periodic test shall be repaired or replaced by a backflow prevention assembly technician when such assembly is located on private property. When such a device is located on public property, a backflow prevention assembly general tester may repair or replace the device if authorized by the water purveyor. When water service has been terminated for non-compliance, the backflow prevention assembly or method shall be repaired or replaced prior to the resumption of water service. Backflow prevention assemblies or methods shall be retested by a registered backflow prevention assembly technician or by a backflow prevention assembly general tester immediately after repair or replacement. (e) The Administrative Authority may require backflow prevention assemblies or methods to be tested at any time in addition to the annual testing requirement. (f) The registered backflow prevention assembly technician or backflow prevention assembly general tester shall report the testing results of backflow prevention assembly or method to the customer and to the administrative authority within fifteen (15) days of the test. (g) The Administrative Authority may require, at its own cost, additional tests of individual backflow prevention assemblies or methods as it shall deem necessary to verify test procedures and results.

Sec.122-142. Repair of backflow prevention assemblies or methods. (a) All repairs to backflow prevention assemblies or methods on private property shall be performed by a licensed plumber holding a special “water supply protection specialist” endorsement on his plumbing license, herein defined as “backflow prevention assembly technician”. (b) After obtaining approval from the water purveyor, a “backflow prevention assembly general tester” may perform repairs to backflow prevention assemblies or methods located on public property. (c) The registered backflow prevention assembly technician or backflow prevention assembly general tester shall not change the design, material, or operational characteristics of a backflow prevention assembly or method during repair or maintenance, and shall use only original manufacturer replacement parts, if available; if not available, shall use replacement parts approved by The Administrative Authority. (d) The registered backflow prevention assembly technician or backflow prevention assembly general tester shall report the repair, overhaul, or replace-

ment of any backflow prevention assembly or method to the customer and to The District on the form provided by The District’s Inspector within fifteen (15) days of the repair.

Sec.122-143. Customer non-compliance. (a) The water service may be discontinued in the case of non-compliance with this ordinance. Non-compliance includes, but is not limited to, the following: Refusal to allow the administrative authority or water pur(1) veyor access to the property to inspect for cross-connection; Removal of a backflow prevention assembly or method (2) which has been required by the administrative authority.

(3) Bypassing of a backflow prevention assembly or method which has been required by the administrative authority.
