Devan Richard, 18, of Oakdale has been honored for his exemplary vol-unteer service with a President’s Vol-unteer Service Award.

The award, which recognizes Amer-icans of all ages who have volun-teered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was presented by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program on behalf of Presi-dent Barack Obama. Devan Richard participated in the Spirit of Commu-nity program this year as a represen-tative of Oakdale High School and the Oakdale community.

Richard earned his award by imple-menting the iGet Active Organiza-

tion, directing a Walk for Jennifer Clark, serving as SGA President, and working as a Senior Counselor at Louisiana Lions Camp for Crippled Children.

Ladeisha George, the SGA spon-sor and mathematics teacher, said “Devan Richard works tirelessly pro-moting positivity in this community. At his age, I could never have envi-sioned many of the endeavors that this young man has had the foresight and fortitude to embark upon. From his involvement in school activities to the creation of iGet Active, Devan is a shining example of what a leader should be.”

Sheriff, Jury reach agreement on jailSheriff Doug Hebert

met with District At-torney Todd Nesom and the Allen Parish Police Jury Monday night to work out de-tails of the agreement between the Sheriff’s Office and the Police Jury regarding the new jail. Hebert said he wants everything in writing to protect the parish in the future.

“This co-operative agreement is going to be binding,” Hebert said. “We need to get

as much in writing as possible.”

Hebert pointed out that at some point in the next 30 years there will be a new sheriff and new jurors. If the agreement on the jail is not in writing, it will not be binding on the new officials, if they choose not to honor it.

District Attorney Todd Nesom said there are a bunch of issues regarding the agree-ment that need to be sorted out. He said the

way it is set up now, the jail will be owned by the sheriff, with the police jury guar-anteeing payments of $240,000 each year on funds borrowed by the sheriff.

Sheriff Hebert told the jury he could get a six month deferral on the first payment if necessary.

The next step in the process is soliciting funds from lenders and Nesom said the sheriff needs an agreement

with the parish for that.

Jurors were able to ask questions and get clarification on issues they were concerned about.

Sheriff Hebert said with the dedicated compact funds and five years of Capital Im-provements funds, he will end up borrowing about $3-4 million for the $9 million jail.

“When I took office I had 120 in jail we couldn’t afford,” He-

bert said. “I had to pare it down.”

The new jail will have 179 beds, with 16 be-ing reserved for trust-ees, 16 for females, 25, lock down cells, 15-20 for DOC inmates, and the rest for parish of-fenders.

“In two or three years we probably won’t have room for outside inmates,” the sheriff said. “Could we put 200 parish prisoners?

Kenneth “Kenno” Richard’s annual car show fundraiser was a suc-cess again this year. The old Wal-Mart parking lot was full of old and new cars that drew droves of visitors. Kenno and Roy Dunn (top photo) walked around looking at the exhibits. Two of Oakdale’s fin-est, Lt. Bruce Hudgens and Ptl. Kevin Froelich (bottom) couldn’t re-sist checking out the Lamborghini as they passed. All proceeds from the car show go to the Lion’s Eye Foundation and the Lion’s Crippled Children’s Camp.

Richard’s Annual Car Show

Oberlin City Coun-cilman Mark Man-uel kept his perfect attendance record intact when he at-tended the council meeting April 8, but the rest of his fel-low council members were no-shows.

Manuel has been on the council for 10 years and has never missed a meeting. He did miss a spe-

cial call meeting one time because it conflicted with his regularly sched-uled drainage board meeting.

It was not the first meeting canceled concerning Oberlin business. The town’s finance committee meeting was can-celed by the mayor,

Sponsored by Pru-dential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NAASP), the Prudential Spirit of Community recog-nizes young people, like Devan, for out-standing community service activities. More than 370,000 young people in America have been considered for these awards since the pro-gram began in 1995.

“The recipients of these awards vivid-ly demonstrate that young people across America are making remarkable contri-butions to the health and vitality of their communities,” said John R. Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. “In recognizing these students and placing a spotlight on their volunteer service ac-tivities, we hope to motivate others to consider how they can also contribute to their community.”

“ D e m o n s t r a t i n g civic responsibil-ity through commu-nity volunteerism is an important part of life,” said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. “These Honorees practice a lesson we hope all young peo-

By MARK LEIBSONLSN CorrespondentAllen Parish District Attorney

Todd Nesom had two objectives in mind for purchasing cameras that can be worn by police officers throughout the parish.

“We want to protect the officers as well as protect the public, and it gives us the ability to present to a judge exactly what happens on scene and show through audio and video recordings,” Nesom said.

The DA’s office purchased 22 of the small devices for $6,000. They were distributed to police depart-ments in Kinder, Oberlin, Oakdale and “a few” cameras to the Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office.

“There is no better evidence than

an audio/video recording. Some po-lice cars have them,” Nesom said. “The mobile cameras can be clipped onto the officer’s tie or shirt to re-cord everything that transpires.

“The cameras make officers do better police work and treat people more professional. Converse to that, it makes the public treat a police of-ficer with more respect. The whole goal is to try and provide police of-ficers with the best equipment pos-sible to do the job.”

The cameras have the capability of being down loaded into a com-puter.

Kinder Police Chief Gary Pelican said he is pleased with the DA’s of-fice for providing the cameras.

“We’re very thankful. It will help

officers a lot with the complaints we get from the officers not just on in-cidences that happen but how some officers are accused of not acting professional which is 99.9 percent untrue when you show them that it’s all recorded,” Chief Pelican said.

Also, it’s great to protect officers, especially in domestic calls. Offi-cers get threatened, and the cam-eras show what actually occurred. I feel we’re very blessed to have a district attorney to buy the equip-ment.

“We’re very fortunate to have a district attorney that works with law enforcement as closely as he does,” Chief Pelican said. “He un-derstands the enforcement part of it, and the cameras also help cases

when we go to court.”Oberlin Police Chief Grady

Haynes is also pleased that Todd Nesom helped his department with the cameras, especially in economi-cally tough times that the Town of Oberlin is experiencing.

“Our district attorney does a great job of obtaining and donating equip-ment for agencies in the parish that are pertinent to their daily opera-tions,” Chief Grady Haynes said.

“The micro DV Camcorders that we received will help our depart-ment when dealing with DWIs, domestic incidences, and will help with officers safety. Audio and vid-eo from these instruments will be used to make solid cases in court,” Haynes said.

District Attorney donates cameras to Allen Parish law enforcement

as was the Magis-trate’s Court that the mayor took over from City Attorney David Deshotels.

Among the few people who showed up for the council meeting were Police Chief Grady Haynes, Tony Villareal, who has started a recall petition against the mayor, the may-or’s wife, one of his daughters, and his father-in-law.

Also present was the maintenance worker, Donald Skinner, who was cited by the Oberlin Police Department for theft and mal-feasance in office

for taking a radiator out of a dump truck on town property. Skinner, who was hired by the mayor, continues to work for the town.

Conspicuously ab-sent were deputies from the Allen Par-ish Sheriff’s Office, whom the mayor had previously request-ed attend to meet-ings, despite the fact that several Oberlin police officers reg-ularly attend the meeting.

Sheriff Doug He-bert said deputies will only respond to Oberlin Council meetings in the fu-ture if their pres-

ence is needed in an emergency.

C o u n c i l w o m a n Janice Simon re-marked after last month’s council meeting that the mayor has stripped almost all the coun-cil’s responsibili-ties when it comes to hiring and firing employees and town policies.

Simon, Mayor pro-tem Wayne Cour-ville, Phil Beard and Linda Boulden were absent from the April meeting.

The Oakdale Journal

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - Editorial

I noticed on the way to work this morning that Highway 10, at least a portion of it between Oakdale and Eliza-beth, was litter free. I always look at the trees and flowers as I drive, so it took a moment for it to sink in. There were no coke cups or cans, paper bags, burger wrappers, or anything gracing the sides of the highway. It looked pristine, with just grass and flowers...a beautiful sight.

I’m sure we can thank the Sheriff’s Of-fice for the cleanup. I know inmates are periodically seen doing cleanup in vari-ous parts of the parish. These guys did a marvelous job. I don’t think there was even a gum wrapper left behind.

Of course, this being Allen Parish, it may not look the same this afternoon. I don’t know why it’s so hard to educate the people in this parish about litter. Lord knows I have been preaching about it for years. My oldest granddaughter, B.J. used to call herself the litter police and pitched a fit if her mother threw some-thing out the window of the car. Taz is not so gung ho on litter, but even she asks before something goes out.

If the children can be taught from the beginning about litter, perhaps they can educate their parents. I would think ev-eryone would rather live in a clean, pret-ty environment, rather than be greeted by litter and junk everywhere they go. I know I would.

The girls softball complex last week-end looked like a disaster area, with lit-ter everywhere. This irks me because there are trash receptacles available all over the place. People would rather put their trash down on the bleachers and leave it, or drop it on the ground. There is no one paid to pick it up. It’s all vol-unteer work. Please consider who has to clean up that place after the games and have a little mercy on them.

Along those same lines, Mayor Gene Paul has been encouraging residents to clean up around their homes and help neighbors who aren’t perhaps able to do any yard work. If anyone can make Oak-dale look better, it would be him. He is an expert on yard cleanliness and knows how to make things look better.

If he can get most of the people on board with the cleanup idea, Oakdale will look like a new place. In the end, however, it’s up to the people to decide whether they want a clean city or what they currently have. Oakdale has been, and can be, much better than it is now.

This and That

Since when has it been considered smart to tell your enemies what your plans are?

Yet there on the front page of the April 8th New York Times was a story about how unnamed “American offi-cials” were planning a “proportional” response to any North Korean attack. This was spelled in an example: If the North Koreans “shell a South Korean island that had military installations” then the South Koreans would retaliate with “a barrage of artillery of similar intensity.”

Whatever the merits or demerits of such a plan, what conceivable purpose can be served by telling the North Kore-ans in advance that they need fear noth-ing beyond a tit for tat? All that does is lower the prospective cost of aggression.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, should we have simply gone over and bombed a harbor in Japan? Does anyone think that this response would have stopped Japanese aggres-sion? Or stop other nations from taking shots at the United States, when the price was a lot lower than facing mas-sive retaliation?

Back before the clever new notion of “proportional” response became the vogue, our response to Pearl Harbor was ultimately Hiroshima and Nagasa-ki. And Japan has not attacked or even threatened anybody since then. Nor has any war broken out anywhere that is at all comparable with World War II.

Which policy is better? There was a time when we followed the ancient ad-age “By their fruits ye shall know them.” The track record of massive retaliation easily beats that of the more sophisti-cated-sounding proportional response.

Back in ancient times, when Carthage attacked Rome, the Romans did not re-spond “proportionally.” They wiped Carthage off the face of the earth. That may have had something to do with the centuries of what was called the Pax Romano -- the Roman peace.

When Argentina invaded the Falk-land Islands in 1982, the British sim-ply sent troops to take the islands back -- despite American efforts to dissuade Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher from doing even that.

For more than a century since the British settled in the Falkland Islands, Argentina had not dared to invade them. Why?

Because, until recent times, an Ar-gentine attack on a British settlement would be risking not only a British counterattack there, but the danger of a major British attack on Argentina it-self. That could mean leaving Buenos Aires in ruins.

Today, Argentina’s government is again making threatening noises about the Falkland Islands. Why not? The most the Argentines have to fear is a “proportional” response to aggression -- and the Obama administration has already urged “negotiations” instead of even that. When threats are rewarded, why not make threats, when there are few dangers to fear?

Can you think of any war prior to Iraq and Afghanistan where the United States announced to the world when it planned to pull its troops out? What has this accomplished? “By their fruits ye shall know them.” What have been the fruits?

First of all, this constant talk in Washington about not only pulling out, but announcing in advance what their pullout timetable was, meant that Iraqi political leaders knew that a powerful Iran was on their border permanently, while Washington was a long way away and intended to stay away.

‘Proportional’ Response

Baton Rouge, La.-One positive aspect of being around a long time is seeing lots of folks whack at the pi-ñata of reform with varying degrees of suc-cess. I, too, have taken my swings at the paper mâche donkey and oc-casionally saw the can-dy hit the ground. Tax reform is arguably the toughest genre of reform to achieve. Why? Because everyone is impacted by the tax code, and everyone becomes a stakeholder in the process. In most other areas of reform, fewer people care about what is happening. That isn’t the case when government at any level starts to dictate what taxpayers can keep and what they must render to Caesar.

Governor Jindal pulled down his tax swap plan when he gave his opening address to the Legislature on April 8. Though some may have been surprised by that announcement, most informed observers knew the governor’s proposal was D.O.A. and respect-ed his decision to strike his colors. There was no logic for push-ing forward with a plan that stood no chance in moving through the legislative process.

While Governor Jindal pitched his plan as being a removal of all income taxes on the books--personal and corporate--there was no doubt that the abolition of the personal income tax was his true goal and everything else was expendable. That fact became obvious when the administration revealed that the business community would be hit with a $500 million net tax increase, a low-ball estimate according to several reputable economists, in order to make the original plan work. The true objective of removing the personal income tax was exposed to a greater de-gree when Team Jindal narrowed its focus only to the personal income tax after the governor’s speech to the Legislature and confirmed that they were no longer bound by a revenue neutral approach.

As previously noted, I have been involved in many big reform efforts during the last 40 years including many fiscal reform battles. I have gained some trial-by-fire knowledge and con-ventional wisdom along the way. I would like to share some of that with the elected officials who will contemplate a tax reform agenda now or in the future.

1. Do not attempt tax reform in times of uncertain revenues or budget crises. Tax reform is best done when budget surpluses are occurring and revenues are on a sustained growth curve. A high degree of revenue certainty makes taxpayers and govern-ment service recipients more tolerant of experiments with the tax code. That is certainly not the case at the moment.

2. Before embarking on a tax reform mission, gather hard, verifiable data about the current tax system and any variants that may be proposed. Share that information with potential proponents and opponents of the reforms. Be totally transpar-ent and honest about the numbers at every step of the process. Answer every question with the best information available. Be prepared to defend every data point before embarking on the process.

3. Pitch a big tent and bring every potential stakeholder in-side of it early on in the process. If the meetings get heated, so much the better. Let everyone have input and let everyone, not just a select few, have an opportunity to shape the proposal. Total consensus in the end may be impossible, but letting all parties play in the process will increase the odds for success.

4. Do not rush the process. Develop a well-constructed pro-posal and spend the amount of time necessary selling it to what will likely be a skeptical public. Take constructive criticism and modify the proposal according to that input.

5. Get as many stakeholders as possible to literally sign on to the proposal. Show broad-based support and use that support network to sell the plan.

Several of those steps were missing in the governor’s original proposal. There probably isn’t time to accomplish the process in the next few weeks for a plan that phases out the personal income tax but does not fully address the revenue loss that ac-companies it. There is an art to reform, particularly tax reform. That art had been absent thus far in the current process.

The Business Presentation team of Kayla Ebert, Katy Doyle, and Tracy Maricle (below) placed second and is now eligible to compete at the national conference at Anaheim, CA, in June.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert David Abrusley, Sr. (Nan-cy Karam Abrusley) of Oakdale, Louisiana an-nounce the engagement of their daughter, Leah Marilyn Abrusley, to Joseph Abraham Rustom of Greenwood, Mississippi.

Miss Abrusley is the granddaughter of Mrs. Marilyn Karam and the late Jack Karam of Oak-dale, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Abrusley, Sr. of Oakdale.

Abrusley-Rustom engagement

Should we be sur-prised that the Iraqi government has in-creasingly come to pay more attention to what Iran wants than to what Washington wants? Once more, vast numbers of Amer-ican lives have been sacrificed winning vic-tories on the battle-field that the politi-cians in Washington then frittered away and turned into defeat politically.

What about other countries around the world who are watch-ing what the American government is doing? Many have to decide whether they want to cooperate with the United States, and risk the wrath of our enemies, or cooperate with our enemies and risk nothing.

There is no need to respond to a North Ko-rean artillery barrage by wiping North Korea off the map. But there is also no need to re-assure the North Ko-reans in advance that we won’t.

What announcing the doctrine of “pro-portional” response does is lower the price of aggression. Why would we want to do that?

Warriors playoff streak over after losses to Mamou and Converse

Oakdale’s streak of making the state base-ball playoffs appears over, but the horizon looks bright.

“We had a tough week,” Coach Brent McCoy said. “We lost to Mamou at Mamou and lost to Converse in a non-district game at Converse. This will end our streak of 12 straight years in the state playoffs. Good news is that we will have everybody back next season.”

The Warriors fell to Mamou 13-3 in District 5-2A play, and dropped a 4-2 decision to Con-verse.

“We started off the Mamou game really strong,” Coach McCoy said. “Clay Doyle hit the first pitch of the game for a single down the third base line. Nick Adams singled to left and Nick McDaniel laid down a beautiful bunt for a base hit to load the bases.”

Timmy Townley fol-lowed with a ground-er to second to score Doyle. With the bases loaded with one out, the Warriors attempt-ed a suicide squeeze play.

“Zack Lewis was at the plate and bunted the ball and Mamou’s

pitcher made a good play and caught it in the air and threw to third base for a double play. Just bad luck for us,” Coach McCoy said. “The wind gave our outfielders trouble all day and Mamou hit the ball well. I give them credit.”

McDaniel led the Warriors at the plate with two hits including a double and scored two of Oakdale’s three runs. Adams was also two-for-three at the plate.

Oakdale displayed a strong performance on the mound against Converse as Doyle and Mason Jordan com-bined to hurl a four-hitter.

“The difference in the game was that Con-verse got the timely hit and we didn’t,” Coach McCoy said. “We had runners on second and third in the sixth and seventh innings with one out and just couldn’t score.”

Converse was lead-ing 2-0 when the War-riors evened the score in the fourth inning.

hit by a pitch followed by singles off the bats of Adams and McDan-iel to score courtesy runner Haydn McCoy. Townley followed with a double to send Ad-ams to home plate.

“It was a good played game. We were just one hit away from win-ning the game. This has been our trouble all year. We lost sev-eral games by less than three runs,” Coach Mc-

Coy said.McDaniel went two-

for-three at the plate, and Townley, Adams and Doyle were all one-for-three in the batter’s box.

The Warriors, who are 3-4 in district and 6-13 for the season, will host Iota today with the junior varsi-ty taking the diamond at 4 p.m., followed by the varsity teams at 6 p.m.

Fairview’s baseball team hit the 20-win mark Monday with a solid 12-0 victory over Pitkin.

Grant Dowies went the distance on the mound and allowed just four hits during the five inning game shortened due to the 10-run rule. The Pan-thers’ defense did not commit an error in the District 6B clash.

Hunter Dowies pro-vided the power at the plate with a triple and single that produced three runs. Josh Walk-er was two-for-two at the plate as Fairview

improved its league record to 8-0. The Pan-thers are 20-4 overall.

Fairview also beat Elizabeth 3-2 last Fri-day when Taylor Mad-dox drove in Payton Gordon for the win-ning run in the bottom of the seventh inning with no outs.

Keegan Gordon and Taylor Maddox com-bined for four of Fair-view’s seven hits.

Keegan Gordon started on the mound for Fairview and was relieved by Hunter Dowies, who picked up his eighth win against no losses this season.

Fairview boys beat Pitkin, Elizabeth, for 20-win streak

Yes, but the question is, can you afford it? I went into this with the idea of not putting you in a bind. I didn’t want to get us into a situa-tion where we couldn’t run the jail.”

Hebert said they could realistically ex-pect a spike in inmate numbers right after the jail opens, with warrants being served that have been held for lack of space.

He said he would like to keep the general population at 110 or

less.Hebert said he is not

interested in charging the parish more than the cost of the jail actu-ally is.

There was some dis-cussion about DOC prisoners and how much the state pays. Sheriff Hebert said he would be willing to apply fifty percent of what he gets from the state, after the feeding expense and exempting the 16 trustees, to the lease payment.

The sheriff said the trustee program is set up to cut employment expenses.

“I think that’s fair,” Juror Doug Sonnier commented.

Sheriff Hebert plans to build administrative offices on the second floor of the building. He said the two floors will have separate me-ters for electric, water and gas. The police jury will pay utilities for the bottom floor only. The sheriff will pay expenses for his of-

fices.He said he would

like to sell the current administrative offices and apply that money to the debt.

The question about who owns the new building after 30 years arose.

The sheriff said at the end of 30 years, or when the debt is paid, the police jury would have the option of leas-ing the jail for $1 for 99 years, if they wanted a 30-year old jail.

The jail will sit on

land owned by the Law Enforcement District that was purchased for that purpose by Sheriff Hal Turner during his last term.

“The sheriff is build-ing a $9 million jail. The warden is going to have our interests at heart when it comes down to decisions,” Ju-ror Matt Fontenot said.

“I think it’s a pretty safe, fair plan for ev-erybody,” Juror Doug Sonnier said.

“I think we’re getting what we need at a price

we can afford,” said Ju-ror Creig Vizena.

The jury voted unan-imously to approve the agreement with the sheriff and authorized jury president John Strother to sign, con-tingent upon the ap-proval of the sheriff, his attorneys and the police jurors.

The D.A. said he could have the new document prepared in three or four days, hold a meeting to get it approved, then get it signed.
