Former Rayville Super-intendent of Public Works Lorenzo Brown pled guilty to five counts of malfea-sance in office Friday, Dis-trict Attorney Mack Lan-caster said.

District Judge James M. Stephens will sen-tence Brown on Sept. 24. Brown faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on the charges, a limit agreed to by the state and Brown as part of the plea. Assistant District Attorney Doug Wheeler prosecuted the case.

In July 2010, an inmate at the Richland Parish De-tention Center, detailed to perform public work for the Town of Rayville, alerted authorities that Brown was using him to conduct private work in

Richland, Morehouse and Ouachita parishes. Brown personally received the in-come for the work. The inmate alleged Brown had provided him a vehicle and cell phone to facilitate work on the private jobs.

The inmate also claimed he was some-times sent by Brown in a town car to pick up parts charged to a town account, but later used on private jobs. The inmate was able to provide specific receipts and information concern-ing the work he performed.

Wheeler advised that as part of the guilty plea, he will present to the court a figure he believes is the amount of restitution that Brown owes to the Town of Rayville for his activi-ties.

Richland Parish’s unem-ployment rate rose slightly in June.

The jobless rate for June was 7.4 percent, up half a point from 6.9 percent in May. This was still down significantly from 10.1 per-cent in June 2013.

That means 670 people were looking for work in Richland Parish in June, up from 613 in May. In June 2013, a total of 931 people were looking for work in the parish.

The number of people employed in Richland Par-ish in June was 8,354, up

from 8,239 in May and 8,286 in June 2013.

LaSalle Parish had the state’s lowest unemploy-ment rate with 4.4 percent. The state’s highest unem-ployment rate was 12.1 percent in East Carroll Par-ish.

Louisiana’s not season-ally adjusted unemploy-ment rate in June was 5.7 percent, 1.7 percentage points better than a year earlier. Not seasonally ad-justed unemployment rates improved over the year in all eight metro areas and in every parish, the LWC re-

ported. The number of un-employed people in Loui-siana declined by 37,152 over the year to 121,698 in June.

Nationally, the June rate was 6.3 percent, down from 7.8 percent a year earlier.

Louisiana set two em-ployment records in June and almost broke a third, the Louisiana Workforce Commission reported.

The state set a new all-time high for not season-ally adjusted private sec-tor employment in June. Private sector employers added 26,300 jobs over the

year, pushing private sec-tor employment to a record 1,639,600, not seasonally adjusted data show. Those private sector gains pushed total nonfarm employment for the month to 1,972,500, according to a federal Bu-reau of Labor Statistics survey of 6,000 employers statewide and across indus-tries.

Louisiana also set a re-cord in June for the num-ber of people employed in the civilian labor force – 2,013,688, according to a separate survey of 750 households. That’s an in-

crease of 33,133 over the year. The total civilian la-bor force – defined as the number of employed plus those looking for work – was 2,135,386 in June, its second-highest point ever. The record was set in June 2013.

“Our civilian labor force is growing, more people are going to work and em-ployers continue to create new jobs” LWC executive director Curt Eysink said. “Louisiana is doing well and we have a very strong growth forecast for years to come.”

Unemployment rate up half a percent

The Louisiana Depart-ment of Revenue encour-ages families to retain their receipts while shopping for back-to-school items such as books, uniforms, supplies and equipment re-quired by schools.

Many families will buy these items during the state’s annual sales tax holiday Aug. 1-2, when most retail purchases are exempt from the 4 percent

state sales tax. But they might not know these ex-penses may qualify also for a series of income tax deductions on their state individual income tax re-turns.

And these deductions apply to eligible expenses paid throughout the tax year, not only during the two-day sales tax holiday.

There are three income tax breaks under the Loui-

siana School Tuition and Expense Deductions:

Income Tax Deduc-tion for Elementary and Secondary School Tuition - Allows an income tax de-duction for amounts paid during the year for tuition and fees at a qualifying nonpublic elementary or secondary school. The de-duction is for 100 percent of qualified expenses paid per dependent, limited to

$5,000 per dependent.Income Tax Deduc-

tion for a Quality Public Education – Allows an income tax deduction for the following expenses for a dependent enrolled in a public elementary or sec-ondary school:

• Purchases of school uniforms required by schools for general day-to-day use

• Purchases of text-

books, curricula or other instructional materials re-quired by schools

• Purchases of school supplies required by schools

The deduction is for 50 percent of qualified ex-penses paid per dependent, limited to $5,000 per de-pendent.

Athletes from Rayville and Delhi high schools at-tended the Joshua Young Character Camp at Arkan-sas Baptist College over the summer.

The camp was offered by ABC president Dr. Fitzgerald Hill and head football coach Richard Wilson met with the Rev. Jame Smith of Rayville

and Delhi Alderman Mar-vin Hamilton to do offer camp that would open up the Arkansas Baptist Col-lege experience to more Richland Parish students.

Both high school foot-ball teams have former students that are enrolled and are successful in their studies.

A total of 54 young men

from Rayville and 26 from Delhi attended the camp.

“This was an oppor-tunity for our kids to see something different as well as get 100 percent distrac-tion free coaching,” RHS Coach Lent Bursey said.

“It was a great experi-ence” Delhi sophomore linebacker Demerius Jack-son added.

RewriteYour LifeWriting can help us deal with many of life'sproblems. Many teenagers have weathered thestorm and stress of those turbulent years bykeeping a journal, and that same practice can helpvirtually anyone who can express him or herself inwriting. Writing about our fears and anxieties hasa way of making them a little less scary and oftengives us insight into how to resolve the situation.It can also be helpful to write about our lives in away that essentially rewrites the story. Someonewho is feeling a lack of courage might write aboutthemselves displaying courage. We all have storiesto tell, and in thinking about our lives we have atendency to place our lives into an overarchingnarrative. That is, we tell ourselves a particularstory that makes sense of our life. The story wetell as a teenager is likely to be very different fromthe one we tell in our twenties or thirties, andthere is obviously some wisdom to periodicallyupdating our story. What is the story that youcurrently tell about your life, and how would youlike to see it changed? As we get older, andespecially as we approach our "golden years," weshould think more about whether our story reallydoes fit the life we have lived, and the story thatwe hope our life will someday tell. We should alsoremember that the final version can't be writtenuntil our life is complete.

Lichens are composed of two different organ-isms, an algae and fungus, which grow together for the mutual benefit of on another.

These crusty or leaf-like organ-isms may be a va-riety of colors including brown, gray, green, yellow and white.

They form on many sur-faces such as rock, soil and fallen logs.

They are most noticed when seen on trees in home landscapes and are often thought to be a disease.

When a tree shrub declines due to environmental stress or disorder, its leaf canopy

thins and allows sunlight to enter and support lichen growth. It frequently ap-pears on trunks or branches that were already in poor or declining health.

While there pres-ence may indicate there is a problem, they are not harmful to trees.

Lichens are commonly seen on trunks of healthy trees where limbs have been trimmed above mow-ing height or for tree form-ing which allows sunlight on the tree trunk which gives it the opportunity to grow.

Some appreciate the value it brings to land-scapes and others do not.

Copper based fungi-

cides applied to the trunk will eliminate the problem but will likely re-occur with available sunlight.

NEW ORLEANS – The recent Louisiana Farm Bu-reau convention here at-tracted farmers and ranch-ers by the hundreds, but also proved to be a popular stop for Louisiana politicians.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.), running for re-election this year, made a stop at the sugar commod-ity conference before visit-ing with other farmers. She told Farm Bureau members at the conference there is still a lot of work to be done in Washington.

“This industry is worth fighting for,” Landrieu said. “We have got to keep the power that we have there to keep our sugar program and all of our good farmer support. But, they do need the government to help and stabilize them sometimes, when there’s crisis or disas-ters, to keep that going.”

Laura Cassidy, the wife of 6th District Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge), spoke to Louisiana Farm Bureau members about her husband’s dedication to agriculture. Congressman

Cassidy is running against Senator Landrieu in this fall’s election.

Rep. Vance McAllister, (R-Swartz) attended the convention and announced the day after it ended he would run for re-election for his 5th District seat.. McAllister had previous-ly said that he would not seek another term in office shortly after video surfaced of the congressman kissing one of his married staffers.

Congressman McAl-lister says he wants to stay in office because he says he has been an effective voice for his constituents and for Louisiana agriculture in Washington.

“It don’t matter whether you’re running or you’re not running, when you’re talking to other members of

Congress, if the story that you’re telling is true and real and it has justice and meat to it, then it works,” McAllister said. “I mean, we all got to support our farmers and take care of them and you just got to be able to relay that message and let them know how vi-tal it is.”

Commissioner of Ag-riculture and Forestry Dr. Mike Strain, who made it a point to attend every com-modity conference, said Louisiana’s export business was “on fire.”

“(U.S. Agriculture Sec-retary) Tom Vilsack tells us to expect the volume of ag exports to increase 30 percent over the next two years,” Strain said. “Loui-siana’s total ag value was $11.8 billion last year, dou-ble what it was seven years ago.”

U. S. Senator David Vit-ter (R-La.) also spoke to voting delegates at the con-vention. While he’s not up for re-election, Vitter has announced his plans to run for Governor of Louisiana.

The state of Ari-z o n a

executed double murderer Joseph Wood this week. The convicted killer was injected with a combination of lethal drugs that eventually caused his death; however, it took too long according to some observers.

After being administered the drugs, Wood lingered for almost two hours before dying. Witnesses included reporter Troy Hayden who said the execution was “botched” and that Wood’s last words were similar to “a fish on shore gulping for air.”

While Hayden com-plained that the execution was “very disturbing to watch,” U.S. Senator John McCain noted that it was “terrible” and amounted to “torture.”

During the long ordeal, Wood’s attorneys unsuc-cessfully petitioned the U.S. District Court in Arizona for a “stay of execution” claim-ing that the drugs caused “cruel and unusual punish-ment.”

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer noted that Wood died in a “lawful manner” in contrast to the “gruesome, vicious suffering that he in-flicted on his two victims.” Nevertheless, she ordered an investigation into the “process” used in this ex-ecution.

Not surprisingly, media critics and opponents of the death penalty did not waste any time in seizing on the incident. They claimed it was another reason why the United States should join other “civilized nations” and ban all executions.

On the contrary, civi-lized nations should execu-tive murderers for one ma-jor reason. When regularly conducted and publicized, executions serve as a deter-rent to other criminals and save the lives of innocent people.

Unfortunately, the pro-cess today is ludicrous as justice is delayed for de-cades in many cases. For example, Wood brutally killed his girlfriend and her father in 1989. The family members of these victims have been waiting 25 years for justice, an obscene de-lay.

In the United States criminal justice system to-day, there are too many appeals and too many de-lays in how executions are administered. After a con-viction on death penalty charges and all appeals have been lost, a criminal should be swiftly executed, not given decades of taxpayer paid housing, food, clothing

and legal represen-tation.

The other seri-ous flaw in the cur-rent system is the misplaced concern for the convict and the lack of con-sideration for the victim and the sur-viving family mem-bers.

In recent years, our so-ciety has become more worried about the crimi-nals. Thus, more “humane” forms of execution have been used. Gone are the fir-ing squad, the hanging at the public square and even the electric chair.

Today, almost all states use lethal injection as the preferred form of execution. Yet, as pharmaceutical com-panies have refused to sup-ply the needed drugs, cor-rections officials have been forced to utilize creative drug combinations that lead to a longer survival period after injection.

The cry from liberal ac-tivists is to stop the “bun-gled executions,” but this infuriates the family mem-bers of victims.

Jeanne Brown, who had two family members killed by Wood, said “You don’t know what excruciating is….what’s excruciating is seeing your dad laying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister laying there in a pool of blood. This man de-served it.”

He deserved death and was lucky that he was able to prepare for his death and have twenty five years as a prison inmate, with all of his expenses paid by the taxpayers, to continue his life. Jeanne Brown’s family members were not as for-tunate as Wood killed them with no warning or consid-eration.

This public outrage is misplaced and inappropri-ate. If convicted killers die painful deaths due to lethal injection, it should not be a national tragedy.

What is a tragedy is that it takes too long for our country’s criminal justice system to dispense justice.

When justice is delayed, it is denied, and that is the only tragedy worth discuss-ing.

Misplaced mercy

The dog days of summer are here.

July and August typically are the months where we Americans take our foot off the gas. The kids are out of school. Most professional sports are on break, with the exception of mid-season baseball and the oc-casional golf tournament. Congress is days away from their month long recess. People are typically direct-ing more of their focus on preparing for family vaca-tions, camps for the kids and other ways to recharge life’s battery and prepare for the second half of the year. These months have become our American version of an annual siesta.

Sure, there are things we would be focusing more on if occurring during a dif-ferent time of the year. We have a border crisis going on in Texas, raging hostili-ties in the Middle East and acts of terrorism leading to American fatalities in the Ukraine. A seemingly in-different President, whose family is soon leaving for their own two-week vaca-tion to Martha’s Vineyard, is casually monitoring all of these events.

The soap opera playing out on Common Core would be triggering much more public re-action if it were occurring dur-ing the school year rather than during the

middle of the summer. The procurement tripwire being wrapped around BESE and the Department of Educa-tion is preventing them from finalizing curriculum and testing plans. Teachers are left in the lurch and frustra-tion is mounting. Most par-ents aren’t feeling it yet, but on the first day of school this confusion will lead to chaos if not addressed in the next few weeks. It’s time for the administration to start help-ing solve the problem rather than just throwing more and more gas on the fire.

But again, in the dog days of summer, all of that reality and consequence usually takes a back seat. This time of year, we put our smartphones down and read the paper only occasionally. We try to spend more time on the porch than in the of-fice and family movie night usually replaces nightly TV news shows. We generally spend these months taking

a breather, and quite frankly, most people don’t want to bother with those real world problems while relaxing on the beach or out on the wa-ter.

So, building off that “dog days” mindset, let’s focus on a few things we as indi-viduals can do to improve our community that have nothing to do with enlarging government.

When at its best, Ameri-ca is focused on the power of its people standing to-gether and leaning on the principles of our Founding Fathers to make a differ-ence. It’s rarely government saving the day in our finest hour, it is usually our people rising to the challenge in those moments. We memo-rialize those historic mo-ments of our people rising to the challenge, but we often forget to focus on the ev-ery day moments when our people need to be the ones changing America.

For instance, employers of all sizes tell me they need Louisiana workers who can read and write, have profi-cient technical skills, have good soft skills and can pass a drug test. Unfortunately, Louisiana ranks very poorly in those categories. As a re-sult, we spend most of our time throughout the year

discussing how government should fix those problems. While an important debate to have, we often overlook the every day contributions we also need to make as parents and citizens to help solve these problems.

Here are a few ways I personally think we need to better do our part:

Teach our kids good manners. The soft skills needed to succeed in the global economy sound a whole lot like good old-fashioned manners to me. Show up to work on time, dress appropriately, work well with coworkers, and follow instructions are now called “soft skills” that our young workers are increas-ingly lacking. As a kid growing up in Louisiana, all of these things were demanded in my parent’s house, every friend’s house, every business we entered and in every classroom. Bad manners were not an option and the entire community helped enforce it.

That is not the society our kids are growing up in today, but it can become one if we adults do our part. There is no reason we can-not also raise our kids with that same level of respect

In a recent conf ron ta -tion between

protesters against the illegal flood of unaccompanied children into the United States and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from the latter group said angrily, “We are as good as you are!”

One of the things that make the history of clash-es over race or ethnicity such a history of tragedies around the world is that -- regardless of whatever par-ticular issue sets off these clashes -- many people see the ultimate stakes as their worth as human beings. On that, there is no room for compromise, but only polarization. That is why playing “the race card” is such an irresponsible and dangerous political game.

The real issue when it comes to immigration is not simply what particular immigration policy Ameri-ca should have, but wheth-er America can have any immigration policy at all.

A country that does not control its own borders does not have any immi-gration policy. There may be laws on the books, but such laws are just mean-ingless words if people from other countries can cross the borders whenev-er they choose.

One of the rea-sons why many Americans are reluctant to keep out illegal immi-grants -- or even to call them “ille-gal immigrants,” instead of us-ing the mealy-mouthed word “undocumented”

-- is that most Hispanics they encounter seem to be decent, hard-working people.

This column has pointed out, more than once, that I have never seen Mexi-cans standing on a street corner begging, though I have seen both whites and blacks doing so.

But such impressions are no basis for deciding serious issues about im-migration and citizenship. When we do not control our own borders, we have no way of knowing how many of those coming across those borders are criminals or even terror-ists.

We have no way of knowing how many of those children are carry-ing what diseases that will spread to our children. And we already know, from studies of American children, that those who are raised without fathers in the home have a high probability of becoming huge, expensive problems for taxpayers in the years

ahead, and a mortal danger to others.

A hundred years ago, when there was a huge influx of immigrants from Europe, there were exten-sive government studies of what those immigrants did in the United States. There were data on how many, from what countries, end-ed up in jail, diseased or on the dole. There were data on how well their children did in school.

As with most things, some immigrant groups did very well and others did not do nearly as well. But today, even to ask such questions is to be consid-ered mean-spirited.

Such information as we have today shows that im-migrants from some coun-tries have far more educa-tion than immigrants from some other countries, and do not end up being sup-ported by the taxpayers nearly as often as immi-grants from other coun-tries. But such informa-tion is seldom mentioned in discussions of immi-grants, as if they were ab-stract people in an abstract world.

Questions about im-migration and citizenship are questions about irre-versible decisions that can permanently change the composition of the Ameri-can population and the very culture of the country -- perhaps in the direction

of the cultures of the coun-tries from which illegal immigrants have fled.

During the era of epi-demics that swept across Europe in centuries past, people fleeing from those epidemics often spread the diseases to the places to which they fled. Counter-productive and dangerous cultures can be spread to America the same way.

Willful ignorance is not the way to make immigra-tion decisions or any other decisions. Yet the Obama administration is keeping secret even where they are dumping illegal immi-grants by the thousands, in communities far from the border states.

Looking before we leap is not racism -- except in the sense that anything the Obama administration doesn’t like is subject to being called racist.

Americans who gather to protest the high-handed way this administration has sneaked illegal immigrants into their communities can expect the race card to be played against them. The time is long overdue to stop being intimidated by such cheap -- and danger-ous -- political tactics.

OutlookHello, hello, to all of you

dear and special readers who make up our group of folks in this area who look in the local weekly newspa-per for any pertinent news since last week. I do wish that I could come up with something exciting and/or different; but, it just isn’t possible every week. How-ever, I will do the best that I can with whatever I can dredge up for this week’s edition.

As you can tell by look-ing at your monthly calen-dar, this is the last week in this month of July. Memory tells me that we are still in the hottest time of the year; but, it hasn’ t been so ter-ribly hot as some summers which I can recall.

I haven’t had to use my air-conditioning but very lit-tle during the late afternoon and early evening hours and I am thankful for that since it results in less expense each month. Bu, I will pay cooling costs gladly when it is necessary.

Before this week ends, we will be into the month of August and I do believe it is usually considered as our hottest month of the year. But, in my lifetime, I have learned that weather patterns can be rather fickle and can change every now and then. So, I am not sur-prised when it suddenly turns cooler or a shower comes along, etc. I just “go with the flow” and do what-ever is necessary at the time. Oh, yes......

CHUCKLE #1 - Think-

ing to encourage his wife to economize by making her conscious of her expendi-tures, the husband brought her an account book, gave her a hundred dollars and explained, “Now, dear, on

one side you write down the amount of money you receive and on the other side you put down what happened to it and you’ll al-ways know just where you

stand.”Three

d a y s later, he looked in the book and on one side f o u n d : “ R e -c e i v e d

$l00” and on the other side of the book was written: “Spent it all.” ???????

And, so we move on and let’s see what else I can write about.

I think I had started a few weeks ago to write about a trip to Alaska which was made earlier this year by four couples from this area. They were: Charles and Sandra Johnston, Chip and Molly Sullivan, Alan and Angel Curry and Kirby and Linda Hendrix, who all flew to Fairbanks for the begin-ning of their adventure.

On Saturday (and I don’t know just when this was but it was sometime earlier this summer) the group took Riverboat “Discovery” on a four-hour ride on the Chena River and saw an interesting Athabascan Village, a fish wheel in action and a na-tive fish camp. Also, a bush pilot gave a demonstration of float plane take-offs and landings on the river.

After lunch on the dock, they boarded a bus and motored to Denal Princess Lodge. The next morning, Sunday, they took a bus deep into Dneal Nat’l Park where they saw mountains, rivers and wildlife of the park such as grizzly bears, moose and ptarmigan, the Alaska state bird. That

evening a covered wagon ride into some remote areas was most enjoyable and in-cluded a seven course meal cooked on the trail.

On Monday, they board-ed the train to Talkeetna and walked thru this quaint town of a few hundred pop-ulation as they shopped and ate. This town is the begin-ning point for all climbers who intend to climb Mt. McKinley. A bus carried all to their rooms at McKinley Princess Lodge where they all ate supper and retired for the night.

Tuesday was a ride on a jet boat on the Susitna River - lots of snow was seen on the banks as they cruised up-stream at 30 miles per hour and downstream at 40 mph. A stop at an old Indian camp and a trapper camp showed how those people lived in this extreme environment through the centuries. Back in Talkeetna more shopping and more food was enjoyed before going back to the lodge.

On Wednesday morn-ing, another train ride pro-vided several moose and eagle sightings on their trip through Anchorage to Whit-tier where they boarded the Island Princess. After muster drill and supper, the group was happy to get to their balcony rooms and get some rest after a long day.

Thursday was a full day at sea with a side trip into Hubbard Glacier. Beautiful mountains on both sides of ship, some still snow cov-ered. Several glacier calv-ings were seen and heard and the huge chunks of ice floating everywhere made this day especially cold while outside on any deck. Great food was provided almost all day at the buffet with sit-down dining offer-ing menus. Food was no problem for the next seven days.

Friday was also a sea day and was spent mostly in Glacier Bay where there are many glaciers with Mar-gerie Glacier being the larg-

est of all the glaciers. And Margerie is also receding the least of them.

Saturday was the first day of land tours and was in the gold rush city of Skagway, AK. A ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route train carried them to Canada and back. Shopping and looking in this historic town was very interesting to see life as it was in 1898 for the Klondike Gold Rush Days. Back on the ship for evening meal and sail away at 7p.m.

All night at sea brought the ship to Juneau, the capi-tol of Alaska. Early Sunday was off the ship and headed by bus to the Mendenhall Glacier where they could walk within several hundred yards of the glacier. They shopped and ate in down-town Juneau and rode Mt. Roberts tram to top of Mt. Roberts where they saw a totem pole under construc-tion - a slow process carved by hand and adze; but they get it done.

There was a beautiful view of downtown with all the cruise ships anchored looking like toy boats. The group ate lunch at the world famous Twisted Fish Res-taurant and then shopped some more prior to board-ing ship for sail-away. Formal dining brought out dress up clothes and pic-tures before and eating. The guys always love this night and can’t wait to put on their suits and ties and the girls kind of enjoy it also.

Monday was a day in Ketchikan. This city is the Number One salmon can-ning city in the world. A rain forest tour and an eagle watch boat ride were the land tours at this port. More shopping and more eating were also included at this stop. Sail away late evening and then more eating.......

Several nights on the cruise, the group enjoyed live musicals and magic shows after their meals.

for themselves and others.Teach our kids how to

pray. Most religions teach the golden rule of treat others how you want to be treated, along with the significance of charity and helping others. All of these lessons are important to help children understand that a community can ben-efit greatly by the efforts of compassionate and charita-ble individuals. Learning to appreciate these lessons at a young age will make kids better citizens and better workers as adults. Rarely do you hear a sermon minimize the responsibility we have as individuals to improve our community as com-pared to the need for more government involvement.

Encourage our kids to play sports. Playing sports teaches kids about team-work, responsibility and the importance of practice. Sometimes the lesson of how great victory feels and the importance of winning gracefully will be learned, other days dealing with defeat and overcoming ad-versity will be the lesson. Learning about losing and the hard work it takes to avoid it is great preparation for the real world and criti-cally important to develop-ment as an individual and citizen.

Talk to our kids about what makes America great. Children are impressionable and they are growing up in a much different country than we did. Right now, they usually see politicians that endlessly argue and news shows that use outra-geous rhetoric to attack the perceived stupidity of oth-ers. Yes, our freedom allows

and encourages spirited discourse, but don’t forget to explain to your children why the ability to publicly debate is important, why elections matter and why democracy is strongest with informed citizens making smart decisions. They will inherit this country sooner than you think and you bet-ter not just trust others to educate your children on the opportunity and respon-sibility that comes with that right.

During the dog days of summer, we usually ignore government and focus on family and relaxation. Too often during the rest of the year, we focus almost exclu-sively on how government can solve our problems. The reality is, government has never proved more im-portant than the individual in this country and we shouldn’t fall into that trap now.

As government grows, personal responsibility and the role of the individual in making America great diminishes. Perhaps for the other 10 months of the year, we should start setting our priorities more in line with how we prioritize during the dog days of July and Au-gust. More focus on family and community throughout the year and less emphasis on how government should solve everything is the American way and is the outlook we should emulate all year long.

Wednesday at 6AM the ship entered Vancou-ver Harbor and as the ship went under the Lions Gate Bridge, the Alaska adven-ture was drawing to a close. A full day of sight-seeing in Vancouver was enjoyed by all. Then on Thursday a long flight back to realty was not so enjoyable. (But, I know none of the group would have wanted to miss sharing this trip together.)

CHUCKLE #2: The little boy’s aunt was having little success in winning his affec-tion. “Will you kiss me me if I give you a penny?” she asked. “Huh! A penny!” he grunted in disgust. “Why, I get that much for taking cas-tor oil.” ???

Birthdays are soon com-

ing up for: Gerald Jordan on 7/31; for Daisy Smith on 8/l and Charlie Gammill, Kristi Brown and David Williams on 8/2; Beth Mil-by, Carla Franks and Mecca King on 8/3; Sherry Thames on 8/4; Dale Johnson, Blake McCowin and Meagan Mc-Vay on 8/5 and for Timothy Grissom on 8/6. May all of these folks have a most hap-py celebration of their spe-cial natal day and we wish them many, many more in the future. Oh, yes!!!

And that will just about bring this weekly effort to a close. Hope you found something of interest along the way.

PARTING THOUGHT: Happiness is a by-product of a well-lived life - and it is achieved through the pur-suit of endeavors that are meaningful and sometimes painful.

Dear Valued Customer Important information about your drinking water

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of water monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. During the reporting period of April & May 2014 the Richland Heights water system “did not monitor or test” or “did not complete all monitoring or testing” for coliform bacteria as set forth in the State and Federal Primary Drinking Water Regulations[Part XII of the Louisiana state sanitary code (LAC 51:XII)]. Therefore, the Richland Heights water system cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time. This situation was due to the failure to collect required bacteriological samples for the monitoring period stated above for the Richland Heights Sub-division water system. What does this mean? This is not an emergency. There is nothing you need to do at this time. As our customer, you have the right to know what happened and what is being done to correct the situation. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by post-ing this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. The following actions have been taken to correct this issue: We have contacted the District Safe Drinking Water Office to discuss the violation and have resumed monitoring as required.

This notice is being sent to you by Richland Heights Water System, LA1083015. If you have any questions about this notice please contact

the water system directly: 318-397-2835 LWC Management

• Eva Truel, 24; 621 Cincinnati St., Delhi; shop-lifting.

• Two juveniles were ar-rested this week. One was charged with disturbing the peace (general) and the oth-

er with aggravated battery and resisting arrest.

• • •The Rayville Police De-

partment issued a total of 36 traffic citations this week. That number includes 28 for speeding and one each for stop sign violation, no driver’s license in posses-sion, failure to yield, failure to carry registration, im-proper lane use, improper lane use with an accident,

expired inspection sticker (over six months) and ex-pired license plate.

• • •Rayville Police Chief

Willie Robinson advised that recently there have been incidents involving juveniles with BB guns and air pistols that look very realistic and could be mis-taken for real guns.

“My office has received multiple calls about juve-

niles pulling these guns and pointing them at people,” the chief said. “My concern is that one of these juveniles is going to get seriously hurt or even killed by someone reacting to a perceived life-threatening situation.”

Chief Robinson strongly encourages parents to take these guns away from their children and talk to their children about this type of behavior.

Chief Robinson also advised that it is important for the parents of a juvenile who has been arrested to cooperate with police offi-cers during the course of an investigation.

“If your child has been arrested, you will be con-tacted to come to the po-lice department while he is questioned and processed,” the chief said. “It is ab-solutely essential for you

to cooperate with officers while they are handling the situation.”

Chief Robinson com-mented that parents can be charged if they fail to co-operate or if they aggravate the situation.

Chief Robinson encour-ages all citizens to come by the Rayville Police Depart-ment at 900 Harrison St. or to call 728-4431 if you need his help in any way.

Said income and revenues shall be set aside in a separately identifiable fund or account as hereinafter provided and shall remain so pledged for the security and payment of the Bonds in principal and inter-est, and for all other payments provided in this Resolution, until the Bonds shall be fully paid and discharged. SECTION 8. Rate Covenant Funds and Accounts. The Issuer, through its Board, by proper resolutions, hereby covenants to fix, establish, maintain and collect such rates, fees, rents or other charges for the services and facilities of the Center, and all parts thereof, and to revise the same from time to time whenever necessary, as will always provide revenues in each year sufficient to pay the reasonable and necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the Center in each year, the principal and interest falling due on the Bonds in each year, all sinking fund or other payments required for such year by this Resolution, and all obligations or indebted-ness payable out of the revenues during such year, and which will provide revenues in each year, after paying all reasonable and necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the Center in such year, at least equal to 120% of the largest amount of principal and interest falling due on the Bonds and any Additional Parity Bonds in any fiscal year hereafter issued; provided, however, to the amount that moneys from other sources, including the Issuer’s ad valorem taxes, are appropriated and applied to payment of the reasonable and necessary expenses of operating and main-taining the Center, said rates, fees, rents and charges may be correspond-ingly reduced. The Issuer hereby further covenants:That all of the income and revenues derived or to be derived by the Issuer from the operation of the Center and other sources shall continue to be deposited as the same may be collected in a separate and special bank account heretofore established with the regularly designated fiscal agent bank of the Issuer designated as the “Richland General Checking Account” (the “Operating Fund”) and to be maintained and administered in the following order of priority and for the following express purposes:(a) The payment of all reasonable and necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the Center.(b) The maintenance of the “Hospital Revenue Bond Principal and Interest Sinking Fund” (the “Sinking Fund”), to be created pursuant to this Resolution, in amount to pay promptly and fully the principal of and the interest on the Bonds by transferring from the Operating Fund to the regularly designated fiscal agent bank of the Issuer, monthly in advance on or before the 20th day of each month of each year a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the principal and interest falling due on the next payment date, together with such additional proportionate sum as may be required to pay such principal and interest as the same become due.

If moneys on deposit in the funds described in sub-paragraph (b) are pooled for investment purposes, the source of such moneys shall be noted on or in connection with such investments so that each fund will realize its pro-rata share of any loss or gain that results from such investments. Such investments shall not be commingled with investments purchased with moneys from any other funds of the Issuer. Such investments shall, to the extent at any time necessary, be liquidated and the proceeds thereof applied to the purposes for which said respective

funds and accounts are herein maintained.The Issuer agrees that while the Bonds are outstanding, investments held in the funds described in subparagraph (b) of Section 8 hereof shall be valued at the lesser of cost or fair market value, plus accrued interest.SECTION 9.

Rights of Owners. The Owner shall be entitled to exercise all rights for which provision is made in the laws of the State of Louisiana. Any Owner or any trustee acting for such Owner in the manner hereinafter provided, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, man-damus or other proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Louisiana, or granted in this Resolution, and may compel the performance of all duties required by this Resolution or by any applicable statutes to be performed by the Issuer or by any agency, board or officer thereof, including the fixing, charging and collecting of rates, fees or other charges for use of the Center, and in general to take any action necessary to protect the rights of the Owner.In the event that default shall be made in the payment of the interest on or principal of any of the Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution as the same shall become due, or in the making of the payments into any fund established by Section 8 hereof, or in the event that the Issuer or any agency, board, officer, agent or employee thereof shall fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of this Resolution, or shall default in any covenant for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, any Owner of Bonds or any trustee appointed to represent such Owner as hereinafter provided, shall be entitled as of right to apply to a court for the appointment of a receiver of the Center in an appropriate judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the provisions of the Act.The receiver so appointed shall forthwith enter into and take possession of the Center and shall hold, operate and maintain, manage and control the Center, and in the name of the Issuer shall exercise all rights and pow-ers of the Issuer with respect to the Center. Such receiver shall collect and receive all income, revenues and receipts, maintain and operate the Center in the manner provided in this Resolution, and comply under the jurisdiction of the court appointing such receiver with all of the provi-sions of this Resolution.Whenever all that is due upon the Bonds and interest thereon, and under any covenants of this Resolution for sinking or other funds, and upon any other obligations and interest thereon, having a charge, lien or encum-brance upon the fees, rentals or other revenues of the Center, shall have been paid and made good, and all defaults under the provisions of this Resolution shall have been cured and made good, possession of the Center shall be surrendered to the Issuer upon the entry of an order of the court to that effect. Upon any subsequent default, any Owner, or any trustee appointed for such Owner as hereinafter provided, shall have the same right to secure the further appointment of a receiver upon any such subsequent default.
