Survivor Shares Her Story Of Domestic Abuse
DART Candlelight Vigil Remembers 14 Women, 4 Children
BY SUSAN T. HERRING, Editor, The Guardian-Journal
“There
are many characteristics of battered women and many characteristics of abusers.
Domestic violence has many effects on children, whether they receive the abuse
or witness the abuse. There are many reasons why women stay in abusive
relationships... I am living proof that you can survive." These are the
words spoken by one survivor of domestic abuse who shared the story of how she
and her two children survived the abuse at a candlelight vigil held Thursday,
October 2 at the First Baptist Church in Homer. She spoke, not just to tell her
story, but to educate those who attended on the effects of domestic violence
and child abuse.
Homer Police Investigate Armed Robbery At Motel
BY SUSAN T. HERRING, Editor, The Guardian-Journal
Homer
Police officers were called to the Hillside Motel Wednesday, October 19 just
before 11 PM in response to a 911 call. Upon arrival, they were told three
individuals, two male and one female, had knocked on the motel room occupied by
Rodrigo Perez and Pablo Alverado. When they opened the door, the two males
pulled guns and forced their way into the room. They took their wallets, which
contained a total of about $360, then searched the room for more money before
leaving. Perez went to the motel office to call the Sheriff’s Office because
the suspects had cut the telephone cord in their room. There he saw the three
suspects driving off in a gray Chevy Lumina. The first suspect was described as
a black male, about 45 to 50 years old, 5’11” tall, with some gray in his hair.
He was slender, had no facial hair and some of his top teeth were missing. He
was wearing a black coat with a white stripe on the sleeves and blue pants, and
he was carrying a nickel automatic weapon. The second suspect was also a black
male about 30 years old, 5’11” tall, with a mustache. He was wearing a green
plastic, knee-length coat and carrying a black automatic weapon. The third
suspect was a black female about 20 years old, about 5’2” tall, with a black
scarf on her head. Perez and Alverado said they are working in the area
building chicken houses and expect to be here for about five months. Homer
Police Chief Rodney Hollenshead asks anyone with information on this crime or
any other crime to please contact the Homer Police Department at 927-4000.
CPSO Pursuit Ends Without Incident
BY SUSAN T. HERRING, Editor, The Guardian-Journal
Claiborne Parish Sheriff Deputy Jeff Pugh and Investigator
Chuck Talley worked together to bring pursuit of an errant vehicle to a safe
conclusion on Monday, October 20. Pugh said the call came in at 12:50 PM. A
dark blue Toyota was headed north on US 79 toward Homer. It was weaving all
over the road. Pugh caught up with the vehicle about five miles south of Homer.
He got behind him and tried to no avail to get the man to pull over using his
lights, siren, and horn. The man was driving all over the road, from shoulder
to shoulder. Pugh continued to follow him, looking for an opportunity to safely
use a flip maneuver to get the vehicle off the road. Once in town, the vehicle
narrowly made the 90-degree curve at the railroad tracks, hit several signs,
straddled the tracks, and almost rear-ended an 18-wheeler. Talley pulled in
front of the car at the Pak-A-Bag and immediately slowed to a stop, causing the
car to hit him from behind. Pugh and Talley soon realized it was a medical
situation. Jerry Allen Phillips, 40, of Homer, was immediately transported by
Claiborne Ambulance to Homer Memorial Hospital where he was treated for a
diabetic episode. He had no memory of what happened and only remembered getting
in his car in Minden. Pugh said it was a pretty tense situation for about 15
minutes and he was glad no one was injured. He believes the sirens and lights
helped alert oncoming traffic of the potential danger and vehicles quickly
moved off the roadway. No citations were issued.

BY SUSAN T. HERRING, Editor, The Guardian-Journal
A number of local citizens attended a Rural Community
Development Retreat sponsored by the USDA and Town of Homer on Saturday,
October 11. The workshop was led by Ivan J. Miestchovich, Jr. and focused on
the need for the Town to develop a strategic plan. The first step was to
identify the Town’s core values, its assets or strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats. Participants agreed poverty, lack of jobs, growing
racial tension, and lack of opportunities for youth were the biggest concerns.
Building Lakes Could Save Aquifer, Spur Economy
BY SUSAN T. HERRING, Editor, The Guardian-Journal
The
Claiborne Parish Police Jury hosted a meeting October 2 to discuss water
concerns and why Claiborne Parish needs another lake. Ben McGee of the U.S.
Geological Survey in Ruston shared
information on the decline of the Sparta Aquifer and the benefit of alternate
surface water resources. Steven Windham, Deputy Secretary for the Louisiana Department
of Economic Development, shared information on how Claiborne Parish could
incorporate building new lakes as a way
to promote economic development. Local resident Don Grimes said it would be
discouraging for industry or retirees to move here unless there was an ample
water supply.
AWM Completes Aeration System Renovations
At Town Sewer Plant
American
Water & Wastewater Management, LLC (AWM) and the Town of Homer continue to
partner in the renovation and rehabilitation of the Town's wastewater treatment
plant. AWM, with assistance from the Town on strategic matters, recently
completed an extensive project to replace the aeration system in the south
aeration basin at the WWTP. Materials were purchased through a $15,000 grant
received from the Governor's Office. Remaining funds will be used to purchase
aeration equipment for the north aeration basin. Another grant will be applied
for to provide funds to complete renovation of the north basin including the
removal and disposal of accumulated sludge.
According
to General Manager Marios G. Papadopoulos and Senior Engineer Don Adams,
equipment failure is a common occurrence with equipment that is approximately
15 years old and requires extensive maintenance. Infiltration and inflow
(I&I) into the sewer collection system continues to plague the WWTP. In
addition to the increased volume of water that must be treated at the plant,
sand and grit are carried into the sewer collection system during rainfall.
Removal of the grit is essential to maintain proper treatment of sewage. Recent
problems removing the grit include the failure of the grit chamber mixer motor
reducer gear box. This essential piece of equipment will cost the Town
approximately $6,000 to replace with AWM supplying the labor. The cost to repair
the grit pump is estimated at $2,000 with labor provided by AWM. The Town of
Homer and AWM are presently working to obtain a permit from the Louisiana
Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) for land application of digested
sewage sludge. This will save thousands of dollars in hauling and landfill
costs. If the project develops as expected, AWM will seek landowners willing to
accept this material for fertilizer on crops such as pastures and hay farms.
AWM is installing variable frequency drives (VFD) on the aeration blower motors
to provide a more efficient operation of the aeration basins.
Future
projects include:
•Rehabilitation
of the influent pumps; approx. cost $12,000
•Replace
mixer support columns in north aeration basin; approx. cost $2,000
•Replace
mixer drive motors north basin; approx. cost $15,000
•Replace
hydraulic hose north aeration basin; approx. cost $2,500.
•Installation
of effluent recirculation pumps to reduce the use of potable water as process
water.
•Effluent
pump installation for recirculation of process water to save potable water;
approx. cost $5,000
•Replace
and raise backflow preventer; approx. cost $2,500.
The
source of funding on the above projects has yet to be determined.
Don
Adams said, "AWM believes in the communities in which it serves. To that
end, we are willing to give of ourselves and to reinvest our money in those
communities for worthwhile projects. Our relationship with our clients is the
single most important aspect of our business."

Louisiana Purchase Story To Unfold At The Ford Museum
After the United States bought the Louisiana territory for $15,000,000, President Thomas Jefferson selected William Charles Cole Claiborne to govern lower Louisiana. Backing this with military power was General James Wilkinson. The two commissioners arrived outside New Orleans on December 17, accompanied by five hundred U.S. Army troops, to take possession of the territory. On December 20, 1803, at the Cabildo in New Orleans, Claiborne and Wilkinson signed the transfer document with Pierre Clement Laussat, Napoleon's representative, which granted lower Louisiana officially to the United States. Three months later, in St. Louis, Missouri, France ceded the rights to upper Louisiana as well. The Purchase opened the door for western exploration, settlement and trade by the United States. President Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to head the first transcontinental expedition, called the Corps of Discovery. In May of 1804, Lewis and Clark departed from the St. Louis area with some 40 soldiers. They journeyed up the Missouri River, across the Great Divide, and westward to the Pacific Ocean. Because the borders of the Louisiana Purchase were not determined for many years, no map exists from that period that outlines the actual territory obtained in 1803. It took several years for Spain and the United States to settle their boundary disputes. In 1810 and 1819, the United States annexed parts of the Spanish territory of Florida by treaty. The two nations also ended conflict over the western frontier in 1819 by establishing the border of Texas and Louisiana at the Sabine River. The public is invited to visit America's Best Buy: The Louisiana Purchase at The H.S. Ford Museum through October 15. Museum hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,The Museum regular hours are Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9 AM - 4 PM, closed from 12 noon until 1 PM. Admission is: adults - $3.00, children - $1.00, and families - $5.00. For more information and special tour schedules please call 927-9190.
