Jailer arrested for alleged incest

 

MICHELLE BATES, Editor

            A David Wade Correctional Officer was arrested Thursday on charges of alleged incest with an 11-year-old girl.

Cordney Travez Emerson, 29, of Homer, was arrested on charges of aggravated incest. Bond was set at $100,000 and as of press time, he is incarcerated at the Claiborne Parish Detention Center.

            According to Homer Police Chief Russell Mills, his department received information regarding the allegations and after some investigation, there was sufficient information to establish probable cause.

            “Once we got the information, we conducted more interviews,” Mills said. “After that interview, we obtained a warrant for his arrest.”

Police aren’t saying much about how the case, citing the case involves a juvenile.  However, according to records, Emerson has no criminal history.

            According to DWCC Warden Jerry Goodwin, Emerson was a probationary correctional cadet and was still working under the test period. He began his employment with the prison in October, and his termination was effective as of Friday, January 21.

            Circumstances would have been much different if he’d been what Goodwin called a permanent status employee. According to the Civil Service Commission’s website, the situation would have been more complex than what it is. Had he received permanent employee status, he’d have been afforded certain rights under the commission.

            Goodwin said because he was still a probationary employee, the civil service rules did not apply.

            According to criminal statutes, R.S. 14:78.1, aggravated incest is defined as “the engaging in any prohibited act enumerated in Subsection B with a person who is under eighteen years of age and who is known to the offender to be related to the offender as any of the following biological, step, or adoptive relatives: child, grandchild of any degree, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece.”

            If convicted, Emerson faces at least 25 years in prison without the possibility of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. The statute says, “Whoever commits the crime of aggravated incest on a victim under the age of thirteen years when the offender is seventeen years of age or older shall be punished by imprisonment at hard labor for not less than twenty-five years not more than life imprisonment. At least twenty-five years of the sentence imposed shall be served without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.”

            As of press time, no court date had been set for his arraignment.

 

Warrant, drugs lead to arrest

 

The Guardian-Journal

            A Haynesville man was arrested after a traffic stop revealed an outstanding warrant as well as alleged drugs.

            On Wednesday, January 19, Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Harbour was patrolling north on Hwy. 161 and observed a truck traveling south with no visible license plate lamp.

            Deputy Harbour initiated a traffic stop and found the driver to be Tony Ray Barker, 51.

            During a records check pursuant to the stop, Harbour discovered Barker had an outstanding warrant with the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office for failure to appear in court on a traffic charge. When asked if there were any illegal substances on his person or in his vehicle, Barker retrieved a plastic baggie containing marijuana from his jacket pocket.

            Harbour transported Barker to the Claiborne Parish Detention Center and charged him with possession of marijuana with bond set at $500 and failure to pay fine at $209. Barker was issued a citation for the violation of no license plate lamp.

 

‘Claiborne Made’

46th annual Chamber Banquet best yet

 

The Guardian-Journal

            The 46th annual Claiborne Chamber of Commerce Banquet was one of its best yet as banquet attendees enjoyed a light-hearted presentation from KTBS Reporter Rick Rowe.

            Showing some of his previous stories, some from Claiborne Parish, he told some of his more heartwarming stories as well as some humorous ones. So, where does he get his stories, he asked.

            “I get them from you, the public,” he told the audience.

            From tales of Norton’s Corner to crowds welcoming our soldiers home in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, he showcases the human spirit within each. He even told some stories that turned out to be a hoax, gaining the laughter of the audience at the expense of one of Haynesville’s greatest community leaders, Keith Killgore.

            After his presentation, he was given a gift basket full of goodies made right here in Claiborne Parish.

Chamber Executive Director John Watson reviewed the year 2010 and some of the chamber’s most important accomplishments. Running through the list of those accomplishments, he said, “They all indicate that your chamber is fulfilling its mission statement.”

            At the conclusion of the program, a combination Cajun fryer and grill was raffled off, courtesy of R&V Works, LLC. The lucky winner was Jess Robertson from the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Minden.

            New members for 2010 include Banks Janitorial, Curves, Fred’s Super Dollar, Proservice Tire, LLC, the Side Store, Bob Robinson, Tru-Tone Hearing Aid Center and Claiborne Resources Management, LLC.

            Incoming officers for 2011 are Nicole Sanders Ware, president, Chic Hines, vice president, Lisa Ledbetter, secretary, and J.T. Taylor, treasurer. Directors also include Steven J. Koskie, Wade Holloway, Galen White, Dan Ware, Dwayne Woodard, Janell Brown, O.P. “Pete” Pearson, Mary Ellen Gamble and Cynthia Steele.

            Outgoing officers for 2010 include Nicole Sanders Ware, president, Chic Hines, vice president, Janell Brown, secretary, J.T. Taylor, treasurer. Outgoing directors include Beverlee Killgore, Dwayne Woodard, Wesley Emerson, O.P. “Pete” Pearson, Cynthia Steele, Galen White, Lisa Ledbetter and Dan Ware.

Hill Farm outlook brighter despite looming cuts

 

MICHELLE BATES, Editor

            The LSU AgCenter Hill Farm Research Station in Homer is doing better than expected despite looming budget cuts.

            As a part of the institution of higher learning, the AgCenter underwent budget cuts just like the rest of the state’s education system. Dr. Patrick Colyer, regional director of the Northwest Region, said the AgCenter was going to have to revamp portions of the AgCenter.

            “We may have to look at our programs and make some changes,” he said. “We want to make sure we do the right thing.”

            In other words, they may have to cut some programs, but the good news for Claiborne Parish is the 4-H program will not be cut because it is such a huge part of the AgCenter in Claiborne Parish.

            “We wish we could do a lot more with 4-H,” Colyer said.

            He praised Lee Faulk, the new 4-H director, saying he’s done a great job with the program for the kids. Colyer is a huge proponent of service projects connected with 4-H because he wants to see the kids do something to help people and give back to the community.

            However, he said, when he took the job, which at the time covered eight regions, he said he wasn’t experienced with animals and livestock. The Hill Farm has chicken houses, beef cattle and other animals. If you asked him about agriculture, he could talk all day long, he said.   He’s worked with several crops including cotton, soybeans, tomatoes and other greenhouse vegetables.

            “I’m really excited about getting involved with the Hill Farm,” Colyer said. “I’m not an animal scientist, but I’m still learning a lot.

            With Dr. Mike Blazier, the Hill Farm does well with forestry. In fact, Colyer said, Blazier just got a $2 million grant for research into feed to use as biofuels by using “junk trees” and switch grass. Innovative approaches to grasses aren’t used much, but there is more research on forage for livestock feed.

            In other areas, he also named other scientists who are conducting research into several different areas of animal and livestock.

            Dr. Ryan Walker, a beef cattle scientist, came from Minnesota. But because he’s originally from Texas, Colyer said he understands raising cattle in the south. Currently, Walker has submitted several grant applications, which if granted, will focus on the efficiency of cattle production.

            He also spoke about Bill Owens, and praised him for the great job he’s doing. Owens is the station coordinator.

            Another area Colyer said the Hill Farm is looking into is sweet potato production. Currently, sweet potato production from the Delhi plant is only getting 50 percent of their product from Louisiana. The rest comes from Arkansas.

            “We’re looking into growing sweet potatoes and getting more production,” he said. “The company is looking at raising production to 150 percent.”

            According to Colyer, this plant also does much of the sweet potato fries sold in the area.

 

Cold weather preparation: It’s not too late!

 

The Guardian-Journal

            Cold weather has set in, and it’s never too late to get ready for it.

            Homer Fire Chief Dennis Butcher said there are a few things citizens can do to prepare for the frigid temperatures -- however, with the cold weather comes a spike in fire alarms.

            “People will do whatever is necessary to stay warm in this type of weather,” he said. “It’s imperative that people stay safe while trying to stay warm.”

            And having a working smoke detector is one of the most important, he said. Make sure all smoke detectors have fresh batteries in them so they will function properly. For those who need them, the Homer Fire Department has them available at Homer City Hall.

            According to www.weathereye.kgan.com, there are several tips that could help citizens have a safe winter this year.

Dressing for cold weather:

• Wear several layers of loose fitting, lightweight clothing.

• Wear mittens instead of gloves. Wear a hat.

• Remember that entrapped, insulating air, warmed by body heat is the best protection from the cold.

Winterize your vehicle early:

• Be prepared against the first blast of winter. Avoid automobile gas line freeze ups by keeping your tank greater than half full at all times.

• Make sure your car has adequate antifreeze.

• Make sure your tires have good traction and are inflated to the right pressure.

• Make sure that your heater and defroster work properly.

• Make sure that your battery is not more than three years old and that it can carry a full charge.

• Make sure that you have a good ice scraper.

Carry a winter-survival safety kit in your vehicle:

• Bring along blankets and a bright piece of cloth to tie to your antenna if you become stranded.

• Flashlight with spare batteries.

• Extra change of clothing to keep dry.

• Non-perishable foods such as candy bars, canned goods or high calorie food like power bars.

• A can and waterproof matches (used to melt snow for drinking water).

• A compass, shovel and sand, tow rope and jumper cables.

Before traveling:

• Check the latest forecast from your local television station.

• Check the latest road conditions before you head out into winter weather. You may contact the Louisiana State Police at 318-741-7411 or visit their website at www.lsp.org. You can also call the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office at 318-927-2011.

• Be sure to carry a working cell phone with you.

• Let someone know where you are going and when you think you will reach your destination.

If you become stranded in your vehicle during a winter storm:

• Stay in your car, truck or minivan.

• Run the engine at 10 minute intervals for heat.

• Maintain proper ventilation by making sure the exhaust pipe is not plugged.

• Leave the windows open slightly to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Make yourself visible to rescuers. Tie a bright cloth to your antenna and door handle.

• Turn on the dome light at night, but only when running the engine.

At home, do the following:

• Have your furnace checked before you need to use it.

• Seal any windows that you suspect allow cold air into the house with caulking or plastic.

• Include a home safety kit that includes extra non-perishable food, medicine, and a battery operated radio.

• Keep a flashlight and keep extra batteries handy.

• Use extreme caution if you keep candles and matches handy for extended periods of electrical loss.

If you lose heat in your home:

• Seal off any unused rooms by stuffing towels or rags in the cracks under the door.

• Cover the windows with blankets or sheets at night if you have some extras available.

• Use only devices that are designed for heating indoors during as emergency heat source and handle all safety precautions.

            “Stay safe and check on your neighbors,” Butcher said. “We can all survive this cold weather if we keep an eye on each other. Also, don’t forget to check on your outdoor pets. Make sure they have a dry, warm place to stay out of the cold weather.”

 

CP Fire District #3 lease agreement moving forward

 

MICHELLE BATES, Editor

            The paperwork is being drawn up for Claiborne Parish Fire District #3 to lease the property next to the Haynesville Fire Station.

            At Thursday’s Haynesville Town Council meeting, Mayor Sherman Brown said Town Attorney Danny Newell was in the process of drawing up the contract for the agreement between the fire district and the town, and would hopefully be finalized and ready for approval by February’s meeting.

            Realtor J.T. Taylor appraised the property, he said, and was appraised at less than $100,000, which clears up “all the red tape.”

            In December 2010, the fire district and the town reached an agreement for a 99-year lease on donating the property between the fire and police departments. In August 2010, Fire Chief Mark Furlow and District #3 Board President Danny Mills approached the town council for consideration of the property because the fire department is desperately in need of more space. They also wished to make improvements to the building to accommodate the new equipment that has been purchased.

            According to Furlow, the newest, bigger trucks will not fit inside the current station because the trucks are longer and taller than its predecessors. Also, the fire station must meet the most recent National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards. However, the board doesn’t want to make improvements to property it doesn’t own, hence the askance for the agreement.

            It has also been more difficult for the fire district to obtain grants because they don’t own the property.

            In other news, Brown gave his sincerest thanks and appreciation for the cards, thoughts and prayers as he underwent a procedure on his shoulder. He praised the staff at City Hall for stepping up and doing such a good job while he has been out. He returned to work the week of January 17-21, and has been driving himself around town some, he said.

            The new sign has been installed and is up and running, Brown said. There have been some community events advertised with the sign, and the town has gotten favorable comments on it.

            In financial news, the town has applied for its LGAP grant, requesting $35,000, which will go to replace the HVAC units in the Claiborne Parish Fair Complex. Also, they have applied for the Community Water Enrichment Fund (CWEF) grant in the amount of $25,000 or $35,000, in which the bulk will go towards replacing older water meters throughout the town.

            Brown also indicated there was concerning news about the sales taxes generated last year. The good news is that sales tax collections were up in 2010, but are still lower than what they drew in the year before.

            “We are still concerned, but not to the point we are stressed,”Brown said. “I’m still very hopeful that we’ll have a good year, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

            In FYI, Brown announced the following:

• The next CAC meeting will be held at 6 p.m., Monday, January 31, in council chambers.

• The town’s website has generated approximately 1,880 visitors. For all the latest information and community events in Haynesville, please visit their website at www.haynesvillela.org.

• The Mid-winter Louisiana Municipal Association Conference will be held February 22-24, in Baton Rouge.

            The next town council meeting will be held at 6 p.m., in council chambers, located behind city hall, on February 17. For more information, please call city hall at 318-624-0911.

JIMMY DEAN, Feature Writer

The Claiborne Chamber of Commerce has put together an assortment of materials to highlight where to go and what to do and see in Claiborne Parish. “Whether you’re a visitor or a local resident,Brochures and the Two Disc Driving CD available at several area locations - Click to Visit ClaiborneParishTourism.org Claiborne Parish has a driving tour CD set that you will find interesting,” says John Watson, Executive Director of the Chamber.

“The CD is one part of a major initiative aimed at helping others see and appreciate what is wonderful about Claiborne Parish,” Watson notes.

Asked what else is a part of the initiative, Watson explains that a colorful tourism brochure has been prepared. In addition,  there is a new website www.claiborneparishtourism.org.

Also, a cemetery brochure includes a map of the parish with the locations of 156 cemeteries in the parish or within a few miles of the parish line.

Finally, television ads have appeared describing Claiborne Parish as a desirable tourist destination.

Describing the tourism brochure, Watson says it highlights points of interest in Homer, Haynesville, Athens, Lisbon, Summerfield, and other areas of Claiborne Parish. It points out that 10 buildings in the parish are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The brochure includes pictures of the Claiborne Parish Courthouse, Herbert S. Ford Museum, Lisbon’s Killgore House, the mural on the west wall of Haynesville’s Killgore Pharmacy,  Homer’s Old Town Cemetery, the Hill Farm, Summerfield’s Alberry Wasson House, and Lake Claiborne.

The cover of the “Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, Cemetery Guide” notes that it is intended to be “A guide to finding the resting places of your ancestors.” A brief description gives directions for each of the 156 cemeteries There is also a map in the brochure marking the approximate location of each.

The new tourism website, www.claiborneparishtourism.org, describes Lake Claiborne State Park and lists local lodging such as Panther Creek Bed and Breakfast at Summerfield and Lake Claiborne Vacation Cottage on Harmon Loop.

The website describes “eateries” such as the Rebel Stop and Moon’s toward Summerfield, Port-au-Prince on Lake Claiborne, Sunrise Bakery and Restaurant and Homer Seafood and Pizza as well as Yesterday’s Grill in Haynesville.

The set consists of two CDs with 41 tracks of information highlighting areas of interest around the parish. For only $3 visitors or local residents can learn things about Claiborne Parish that’s not in the history books, stories passed down from grandparents to grandchildren that has become the stuff of local legend and lore.

Of course, the internet website is free as is the tourism brochure. With the cemetery guide available for $1 and the driving CD sets for $3, the whole tourism package is available for $4, a token cost to cover expenses of production.

Many local citizens donated many hours to the brochures, the cemetery guide, the driving CDs, and the website.
