Vermilion Parish Police Jury re-elects Picard as president

Mon, 01/30/2023 - 10:59am

The Vermilion Parish Police Jury re-elected Jason Picard as its president and Brent Landry as its vice president at Wednesday’s first regular meeting of 2023.
Both were the only nominees for the positions.
Picard said the standing committee assignments would largely stay the same as they were in 2022 with a couple of changes.
On the Coastal Protection and Restoration Committee, Picard appointed Chad Lege as the chair and Sandrus Stelly as the vice-chair.
He also appointed Dr. Paul Whittington to the rabies control board.
In other business, the police jury voted to adopt a reapportionment ordinance.
The police jury heard from Janice Fabre of Sellers & Associates, who was accompanied by Registrar of Voters Tina Broussard, about the district reapportionment ordinance.
“Tina and I had to redo the districts, because whenever you ran for police jury, the districts changed, and precincts have to follow police jury lines,” Fabre said. “So some of them were split, and she had to give them another name. After we did that we renamed everything to make it easy on her. She got permission from the Secretary of State to do that. So it’s all in the same ordinance.”
The police jurors also voted to re-bid Phase II of the 2022 Bridge Improvements Project after rejecting the low bidder’s bid as non-responsive.
Kim Touchet of Primeaux Touchet & Associates said the bid was in violation of state law because the bid documents did not include evidence of corporate authority to submit a bid.
The project is being paid for by state funds.
“In meeting with Paul (Moresi III, the police jury’s legal counsel), we determined that his bid was non-responsive and should be thrown out
“Under the public bid law, written evidence of the authority of the person signing for the public bid works shall be submitted at the time of bidding,” Moresi said.
In the absence of that written evidence, he said, the bid is considered non-responsive and the public body has no discretion to consider the bid. Moresi said if anyone from L&R Construction of Kaplan, which submitted the low bid, was at the meeting they could speak about the issue.
“Unless I’m missing something, then I really don’t think you have any choice but to declare that the bid of L&R is non-responsive to the bid invitation and so therefore it must be rejected as being non-responsive,” Moresi said.
Police juror Dane Hebert asked why Moresi thought the information was not included in the bid. Moresi said he thought it was probably just an oversight, because situations where bids are deemed non-responsive is a rare occurrence.
“It doesn’t happen very often, but the courts over the last 10 or 12 years have said, if you miss one of these basic blocks that have to be submitted, then the public body does not have any discretion,” he said. “It’s not a good situation because they were by far the lowest bid, but if the bid’s not responsive, it can’t be accepted.”
Hebert asked if it was possible to begin the bid process again once the low bid was rejected.
Two other bids from Reliant Industrial Solutions and Keiland Construction were significantly higher than the apparent low bid.
“You haven’t accepted any bids yet,” Moresi said. “The first step is to reject the apparent low bidder for being non-responsive. It appears that the second and third low bids were proper, so you could accept the second low bid. However, if that bid is above the amount that you budgeted or estimated, that would be one of the things under the public bid law that would give you the flexibility to reject the remaining bids and do the project over again, if you choose to do so.
“You have to have a reason to do so, but the fact that it’s above your estimate or budget is an acceptable reason to reject the remaining bids, if you choose to do so. That’s up to you.”
The police jury then voted to reject the low bid as non-responsive. Touchet said that he thought the police jury could either reject all bids because they are over budget, or foot the bill and pay the extra cost ($227,000) to build the three bridges in the project.
Touchet said he also considered removing one bridge from the project, but even with only two bridges, the next lowest bid was still over budget.
“We really need three of those bridges redone,” Touchet said. “Even if I subtract out one of the bridges, which was the least one that we felt could last a while longer, he’s still over budget. I’m going to have to go in and revise the plan and try to probably put bids in alternates to where we can pick and choose, and revise the plan to where we can try to get it back under budget in the next bid.”
Touchet answered another question from Hebert, saying he thinks there is time to rebid the project. The parish can use the state funds until July, and ask for an extension if it needs it beyond that point.
With that, the police jury voted to reject the remaining bids and rebid the project.

Abbeville Police Chief Mike Hardy points to a location where there was a random shooting and no one was injured.

Abbeville Chief tracking shots fired on map

Abbeville Police Chief Mike Hardy is taking random gunfire seriously. He is so serious that he tracks each time random gunfire is called into the police department.
Chief Hardy plots with a red pin where the gunfire was reported. If anyone was hit with a bullet, he marks the location with a yellow pin.
Since January 2022, Hardy has placed 185 red pins on the map. The red pins represent one shot to as many as 60 shots fired at one location.
Just under 20 yellow pins mark where someone was hit with a bullet.
“I am keeping track to see if the shootings happen in a certain section of the city,” said Chief Hardy. “It is like an hourglass. There is a northside and a southside of Abbeville.”
Because of his mapping, Chief Hardy said there is not one area of Abbeville receiving more gunfire than the other.
In 12 months, there has been random gunfire on an average of every two days in Abbeville.
Over the last three weeks (not counting the gunfire on New Year’s Eve), 12 random gun fires have been reported in Abbeville.
This week alone, two separate incidents of random gunfire in Abbeville.
On Friday at 5 a.m., three houses were hit with bullets on Greene Street. No one was injured. Six 40-caliber bullet casings were located on the street. The next day, thanks to the city’s video camera, the police could identify the vehicle used in the shooting and the driver of the vehicle.
Abbeville’s Justice Comeaux was arrested and charged with one count of principal to attempted first-degree murder, and his bond is $150,000. He remains in jail as of Tuesday.
The person who shot the three homes has not been located. Chief Hardy said if anyone has a tip to call the police department or Hardy on his cell phone (337-316-2855).
Then, at four on Tuesday morning, the police department received a call that shots were fired at the 800 block of South Charles Street and ninth street. The police were on the scene within three minutes of the 911 call. However, after searching, no bullet casings were located. Also, no homes were hit with bullets.
Chief Hardy said to call his cell phone if anyone had a tip on who did the shooting.
“I am asking for help from the public,” he said. “We can not do this alone.”
Thanks to the map, Chief Hardy said he plans to place marked and unmarked police cars in different parts of the city to catch those who are shooting out of their vehicles.
“We will catch who is doing the shooting,” said Chief Hardy. “When we catch them, we will recommend the maximum penalty. We can not have people terrorizing the city.”

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

Here is my opinion!!
There was a mention, by one of the board members, about no raise for 40 years, so, lets look back, yes some have been on the board that long.
They closed rural schools in the parish and caused the children in those communities, to have to get up, in some cases at like 5:00 am in the morning to catch the bus and not getting home till 5:00 pm that afternoon, (I am told this by parents) that is a long day for those students, especially the very young,
I question, how that is affecting their attentiveness in class, a 12 hour day is long for anyone.
We now have buses criss-crossing the parish to pick up kids and bringing them to schools, how much more is that costing, can't cost the same, when they were making short trips to local schools?
Now we look at some schools that are over loaded and students are going to school in temporary buildings, really temporary buildings!!
Not to mention the communities that were just about destroyed, because of the school closures, I know I lived in one.
After Rita, I happened to go the auditorium at Abbeville High School for meetings, while there I used the restroom, I was at disbelief that there were Urinals missing off the walls, there were commodes missing in the stalls, like half were missing.
What has our schools become, yes I am an old Great Grand Parent and believe in the old ways, but there is no excuse for not repairing our schools that is where our future people learn, learning not to repair, is learning not to care.
School board members are suppose to be there to work for the students and the community and not look for pay raises.
I don't think, most people can support a raise for someone that can't even keep up restrooms for our future adults.

School Board member Kibbie Pillette tells board members that the Vermilion Parish school board is making the same amount of money it made 42 years ago.

Vermilion Parish School Board members have not received pay raise in 42 years

Thu, 01/26/2023 - 11:41am

Pillette wants to begin process to change legislature to get raise

With school teachers and support staff seeking pay raises throughout Louisiana, one Vermilion Parish School Board member feels school board members in the state should also get a pay raise.
At the end of Thursday’s school board meeting, during board commentary, long-time school board member Kibbie Pillette had a request for Superintendent Tommy Byler.
Pillette told the board that when Bobby Jindal was governor, he created ACT 1, which gives the superintendent power to run the school district.
Also, in ACT I, according to Pillette, there is a clause in the act that limits how much a school board member can make a year. As a result, school board members can no longer request a pay raise when the school district reaches that amount.
That is where the school board members are today, according to Pillette. Each board member makes $9,600 a year or $800 a month in Vermilion Parish.
The Vermilion Parish school board gave itself a raise in 1981. The salary jumped from $600 a month to $800.
That was 42 years ago, and the salary has been $800 since.
Pillette said no one wants to be a school board member because of the low pay.
“This is my last term, and I have been talking to people about running to replace me,” Pillette said. “No one wants to do it for $800 a month. It cost you more than that to run.”
So, Pillette wants to get Byler to write a resolution that would allow school boards throughout the state to give itself a pay raise, like the police jury, he said.
“The police jury makes twice as much as us, which is not right,” said Pillette.
After the resolution is written, the school board will read it and then vote on it. If it is approved, then the resolution will be sent to Baton Rouge.
The state legislature has to vote to change the policy.
Hearing Pillette’s idea for the first time, School Board Member Chris Hebert was not in favor of the resolution.
“I cannot support that unless teachers get a pay raise,” said Hebert.

SLCC Foundation recognizes 2022-23 Benefactors of Year

Thu, 01/26/2023 - 10:38am

LAFAYETTE – Each year, the SLCC Foundation honors its strongest supporters with the prestigious Benefactor of the Year Award. The SLCC Foundation has named LHC Group and the Myers Family Foundation as its 2022-23 awardees.
Since 2016, LHC Group and the Myers Family Foundation have partnered with SLCC on a number of projects and initiatives. The partnership began with LHC Group investing in a naming opportunity within the college’s new Health & Sciences Building at its main campus in Lafayette. Recognizing a critical need for a pipeline of healthcare workers, both locally and nationally, LHC Group understood the importance of collaborating with Acadiana’s community college.
After the Health & Sciences Building construction was completed in 2017, the company partnered with the college to develop the nation’s first home health training lab. As healthcare increasingly moves into the home, SLCC has committed to training and educating students who are knowledgeable and well-rounded to work not only in clinics and hospitals, but in patients’ homes as well.
In early 2020, SLCC, LHC Group, and the Myers Family Foundation announced a five-year project called “A Legacy of Caring in the Home and Community.” The $2.5 million funding behind the project represented the largest private investment in a community college in Louisiana to date.
The project included the creation of additional home health labs across SLCC’s rural campuses to provide hands-on training and skills for healthcare students in Acadiana’s remote areas. Four of the six labs have been completed, and the remaining two are scheduled to be completed in 2023. During the Fall 2022 semester, the home health labs had 622 unique touches by students.
Throughout the project’s progression, SLCC has also created a large-scale scholarship program for healthcare students, infused home health education and training into 14 nursing courses, provided home health training opportunities to SLCC’s nursing faculty, and established six endowed professorships to support the recruitment and retention of exemplary nursing faculty.
Early next year, the project will create the state’s first community college endowed chair, which will focus its activities on nursing and home health.
LHC Group is a leading national provider of in-home healthcare services founded in Acadiana and based in Lafayette. Its operations employ more than 29,000 employees across 37 states and the District of Columbia.
“The legacy that LHC Group and the Myers Family Foundation have created in South Louisiana through the projects within our college is immeasurable,” said Lana Fontenot, executive director of the SLCC Foundation. “Their vision and passion for helping people have materialized in ways that will benefit tens of thousands of students – and eventually the healthcare workforce – for years to come.”
“Investing in the right kind of local higher education raises the floor for our entire region,” said Keith Myers, chairman and CEO of LHC Group. “We are proud to work alongside our partners at SLCC and honored to receive this recognition. Like SLCC, LHC Group and the Myers Family Foundation believe in Acadiana’s tremendous potential as a center of healthcare entrepreneurship and innovation.”
The Benefactor of the Year award is the sixth for the SLCC Foundation, where an outstanding partnership is recognized each year. The College plans to recognize LHC Group and the Myers Family Foundation during a ceremony later this spring. Previous honorees include COX, Gulf Coast Bank, the Hugh and Byrnes Young Foundation, Ochsner Lafayette General (formerly Lafayette General Health), and Elder Outreach.

The Nehemiah Projects of Louisiana and its gatekeeper

Tue, 01/24/2023 - 11:03am

Lauren Trahan is the current executive director of The Nehemiah Projects of Acadiana Inc. (NPAI), a nonprofit formed to revitalize Acadiana’s communities, beginning with Abbeville.
She comes from an educational background and is passionate about seeing young men and women reach their potential and express their talents through education and dedication. She is the current gatekeeper of the organization, working to fulfill the mission that began with Pastor Walter August’s desire to give back to his hometown of Abbeville.
“I have learned that Abbeville is a unique city, wrapped in a proud heritage, a strong faith, and a tradition of taking pride in one’s ability, education, and hard work,” said Trahan.
Yet over time, as the pandemic hit and entire communities isolated, there has been a disconnect to those values in many ways that has created challenges for our youth, struggling to succeed in school and obtain necessary life-skills, creating challenges to accessing higher education and forming obstacles to those wanting a future filled with career possibilities.
Trahan came in to become a connector and do the work to build solidarity between churches, city members and community residents.
“It takes a village of committed and compassionate people to keep a child out of the school-to-prison pipeline. It’s the only way in our current reality,” she said.
When Nehemiah began the work in Abbeville, it honored the legacy of Rev. James A. Herod, who understood the importance of education and made it his mission to teach the youth how to take hold of the possibilities available to all of God’s children.
The Nehemiah Projects of Acadiana operates to serve Abbeville and the surrounding parishes to continue to bring hope to the masses and provide quality education and workforce resources to those who most need that inspiration.
NPAI recently partnered with Talitha Boudreaux and New Iberia Teen Court to establish a Teen Court and Youth Justice program in Vermilion Parish.
Alongside Teen Court, NPAI supports the second chance to learn and grow from mistakes that can impact the future of the next generation. The program has had immense support from local officials and community members to get this much-needed resource off the ground.
Nehemiah’s Executive Director works to execute the vision to bring help and hope to the community through the organization’s core values: Education, Social Services, Health & Wellness, Career & Financial Planning, and Community Revitalization.
Serving on the board of the Abbeville Coalition, Trahan and NPAI supports the Imagine Abbeville Initiative and believes in economic development and reinvestment in downtown, people, and places that radiate possibility and embody the desire to create a legacy in their hometown. While just scratching the surface, Nehemiah will continue the work to implement new pathways to success and create sustainable career opportunities through future education and revitalization projects.
