Even though the council did not take a vote - as required by law - to go into executive session to discuss the issue, Mayor Tommy Davis says the end result could include possible litigation. “We want to take steps to see what we can do to either modify our contract and reduce our cost and be able to negotiate with DAVIS SWEPCO, or in the long-term, maybe get out of our contract,” he said. The city is in year seven SPORTS PG.6 Downtown MinDen of a 20-year contract with SWEPCO to provide electricity. Davis says the city is paying too much and wants to find a way to reduce the costs to the citizens of Minden. The current agreement replaces the contract set in December 2008.

Bruce Franklin/Press-Herald City officials say an internal audit is underway for all city employees’ payroll records. The audit comes on the heels of six police officers being over paid and left owing the city. “We’re investigating everyone’s pay to make sure it is being done correctly,” Minden Mayor Tommy Davis said. “We’re going back 10 years and it will take some time to make sure all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed.” City Clerk M i c h a e l Fluhr - who oversees the payroll for all 210 city employees FLUHR will head up the audit, Davis said. He says the city has opted to keep the audit in-house rather than have an external auditor review the records. “We have capable people at city hall that can do this,” he said. “I have complete confidence that when we get through, it will be corrected.” Problems came to light after the officers received a higher pay raise when they received promotions.

Mike and Jesse Waller explained during a city council workshop Thursday what the project will entail and why they are seeking the exception from the council. The property contains above ground and underground storage tanks and they are proposing to replace the current single wall tanks with state-of-the-art double wall underground tanks only. Ordinance 802 prohibits gasoline or refueling facilities from placing underground storage tanks within 1,000 feet of any public wells. Rick Broussard, with public works, says there are eight wells in the area. “It’s a standard for the groundwater protection ordinance that’s pretty much statewide,” Broussard said of the 1,000 feet criterion. “It seeks to protect the surface and anything that will contaminate a water well.” Mike Waller says legally they can continue the business even though they can’t expand it; however, Ordinance 802 allows for the replacement of new equipment. “What we’re proposing to do is reduce those tanks Dr. Robert Flournoy, Delores Blalock, Ron Hagar and Dr. Brian Salvatore listen intently as the Environmental Protection Agency and representatives from Explosive Service International present the baseline data from air and soil samples taken from in and around Camp Minden. Michelle Bates/Press-Herald Waller Petroleum will be asking the Minden City Council at its next meeting to grant an exception to an ordinance in order to build a new convenience store with a gas station at 102 Broadway Street. Bruce Franklin/Press-Herald down to 30,000 gallons,” he said. “They’ll be brand new double-wall tanks that will have constant monitoring on them. It’s a reduction in the size of equipment, plus much better equipment. Right now, we’re loading big trucks there, and we’ll be moving that part of the business to another area. That’s a great improvement.” The current tank size is 100,000 gallons. The proposed idea is to cater to cars and smaller trucks as well as sell groceries, he said. The property is roughly a little more than an acre, and the Wallers hope to break ground in May. The item will be on the agenda for the December meeting. In other council news, members discussed amending Ordinance 1008, which deals with the sale of adjudicated property. Currently, the highest bidder has five days to make a deposit on the property, and Mayor Tommy Davis says if they open bids on Friday, then that means the bidder loses two days. He proposed adding five “business” days to allow the bidder to make the deposit during business hours at city hall. The minimum deposit is $500, but if the cost of the property is less than $500, the ordinance will also be changed to allow the bidder to pay the cost of the property. On the issue of sidewalks, if approved during the city council meeting, members will change their policy on sidewalk repair. Right now the city pays up to 50 percent of the cost of repair with the remaining cost falling to the homeowner or business owner. If approved, the council will pay up to 50 percent of the standard cost for 4-foot sidewalks. The Minden Planning Commission approved a variance for Craig Watson, with Impressions Advertising Specialties, who is seeking to place a digital billboard at Minden Seafood, located at 718 Homer Road. He says the Fasching events kick off at 10 a.m. FASCHING Continued from page 1 beer garden where nothing but German beer will be served. Vendors will offer a variety of German-style foods including bratwurst and sauerkraut, pretzels and others. Music will be entertaining festival goers all throughout the day, Festival Chairman Kerry Easley said. Germanstyle music will be the order of the day with several different bands playing, including the Oompahsters, which will start the day with the chicken dance. The German Oompah Band will play as well, he said. Other acts will follow including Elaine Eaton with Exit 49, the Devil Anse Band. The karneval will set up downtown in the parking lot, festival chairman Kerry Easley said, “and we’ve got face painters, and stilt walkers and Santa and his helper will be here passing out goodies to the festival goers.” And if that’s not enough, festival goers can play a game where participants will get a game card. “You go to all the different businesses, and frequent their businesses and get a check mark,” he said. “And when you turn your game card in, we draw for the winner. That’s going to be a fun game designed to draw people into our businesses.” Beginning at 10 a.m., shuttle rides to tour the Germantown Colony Museum will be available for anyone who wishes to learn about Minden’s heritage. Departure and drop off will be in front of Possibilities on Pearl Street, Easley said. An information desk will set up near the stage between Roma Italian Bistro and Jamieson, Wise and Martin and will be manned by the Webster Parish Convention and Visitors Bureau. To culminate the day, a fireworks spectacular will take place at 6 p.m. Celebrating its German heritage, Minden began celebrating the Fasching Fifth Season at 11:11 a.m., Nov. 11, 2011. The Fasching is the German equivalent of the Mardi Gas season, which ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the season of Lent. Events begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. sign will be 11 by 22 and 35 feet tall. The idea is to allow advertisers to rent space on the sign, Watson said. Law enforcement will also have direct access to the sign for Amber alerts through a cell phone attached to the sign, if need be. Traffic count on Homer Road, according to Watson’s survey, is 38,000 vehicles per day. Planning commission members say they had no opposition from the community to allow the sign to be erected. The council also discussed changing the time of the council meetings, but it will stay as is. The next council meeting will be at 7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 7 in council chambers at Minden City Hall. EPA talks air, soil samples at Camp Minden MICHELLE BATES [email protected] All of the baseline samples for air and soil in and around Camp Minden came back clean with the exception one area on S-line, Environmental Protection Agency officials say. Adam Adams, on-scene coordinator with the EPA, explained the baseline results sent out to property owners where the monitoring stations were set in May. During an EPA meeting at Camp Minden Thursday, he says all the results from seven different sites came back clean with the exception of two soil samples that exceeded carcinogenic screening levels for both residential and industrial. Those same samples tested for dioxin did not exceed non-carcinogenic screening levels. “They’re high, but that’s industrial numbers in an See EPA, Page 14 WEBSTER&MORE Turkey Contest Winners Friday, November 20, 2015 – Minden Press-Herald 3 facebook.com/mindenph OBITUARIES Lucille Mary Alford Listed are the winners for the Minden Press-Herald’s Turkey Contest.

Payments to SWEPCO for that year totaled $11,523,870.39. The year 2013’s revenue was $16,959,172.20 with payments to SWEPCO totaling $10,529,878.47. In 2012, revenue totaled $15,862,588.44 with payments to SWEPCO totaling $9,747,406.24.

Box 1339, Minden, LA 71058-1339. qÜÉ=^äÉñ~åÇêá~=qçïå=q~äâ We're not fans of knee-jerk reactions or political grandstanding. While we acknowledge security concerns about possible terrorist attacks, Gov. Bobby Jindal's executive order, issued following the terrorist attacks in Paris, that seeks to avoid Syrian refugees from resettling to Louisiana smacks of both. Jindal, like many other Republican governors, has stepped forward to try to block Syrian refugees from moving to the state. Most of the other governors' protests have focused on asking President Barack Obama and other federal officials to reconsider their announced plan of taking in 10,000 refugees. Jindal's executive order does not seek to work with the federal government, but rather takes a we'll-do-it-ourselves stand. But the fact is, legal scholars note this isn't a state decision. Refugees don't immigrate to an individual state, they come to the United States. And once they gain admission, they are free, like any other person, to travel about the country and settle in whatever state they chose. The idea of Louisiana or any other state screening out a group of people seems ridiculous. Enforcing such a restriction would require setting up checkpoints at every entry point to the state to check the traveler's documentation. Do we really want everyone to have to have a passport and be checked entering and exiting individual states? Of course not. We also feel it is wrong to attempt to broadly reject all refugees simply based on their country of origin. By saying we won't accept any Syrian refugees out of fear that there are terrorists in their ranks is to imply that all Syrians are terrorists. They aren't. Nor are all Islamists or Muslims or any other religion or nationality. The sad reality of our modern times is that terrorists can come from any background. There are people born and raised in the United States who choose to become terrorists. It's not a onesize-fits-all issue. Rather than playing to voters with tough talk that he can't really backup, Jindal — and the citizens of our state — would be better served by focusing on working with the federal government to ensure proper background screening and vetting processes are followed regarding all immigrants. That and ensuring state law enforcement agencies have the proper tools, technology and training to monitor known terrorist groups activities and "chatter" to prevent attacks whenever possible. It's tempting to give into fear and say we won't accept refugees from a war-torn region. Staking out a pro-citizen safety position — even one that can't really be enforced — can make for a good sound bite for a politician trying to look tough to win votes. But that's not who we are as Americans. We are a nation built by immigrants. Our Founding Fathers were refugees seeking a better life. Our state shares that background, with Acadians (Cajuns) venturing away from Canada and settling among the bayous. We shouldn't let fear cause us to turn our backs on refugees now.

PERSPECTIVE Webster Tourism report On October 6, at 12 noon, there was a formal ribbon cutting at the newly opened Welcome Center at the Germantown Colony. Secretary of State Tom Schedler was there to cut the ribbon. The museum is now open ThursdaySaturday 10 am- 3 pm and by appointments for group tours. The new Welcome Center and the Germantown Colony Museum were featured in a program by Rick Rowe the following week on Channel 3 News five times. The beautiful new Welcome Center houses more than 2,000 square feet of a "climate-controlled" designated exhibit gallery to display historical artifacts, a reception area, a gift shop, and handicapped-accessible public restrooms. According to a recent report from the Jean Doerge, Curator of the Germantown Colony State MuseLYNN um, the DORSEY museum has recorded just under 500 visitors from April 2014 to June 2015. That total is from the time the construction was completed and hours were reduced until July 31, 2014. Since August of this year, when the colony returned to normal hours, they have already had 214 visitors this year. That is over 700 visitors since the colony reopened and the number of visitors should continue to increase due to free shuttle buses to Germantown during Fasching Festival on November 21 and the large number of visitors coming for tours scheduled by our office during the Holiday Tour of Lights. The following week, our office hosted a ribbon cutting with Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne on October 14. This ribbon cutting officially recognized the new signage installed in Minden complimenting the locations identified in the Northwest Film Trail brochure distributed at 69 visitor centers throughout the state and the Shreveport Municipal airport. On Saturday, October 3, our office hosted the Louisiana North Movie Familiarization Tour with 7 travel writers with various publications including Editor for TravelingMom.com, Owner of MagsOnTheMove.com, a writer for Louisiana Life Magazine, Senior Editor for Variety Magazine out of Los Angeles, CA, Editor of Forum Magazine and City Life Magazine and writer for the Austin Chronicle. Believe me they loved the Film Trail and new signage in Minden. We have already seen five great articles published so far! In August, our office made sales calls in Dallas and Oklahoma City with representatives of the four other cities that make up the Holiday Trail of Lights. As a result the group was invited to make a presentation of our combined area at an annual Holiday Luncheon in Oklahoma City on November 5. We had an audience of over 50 Group Leaders who schedule tour for retirement communities, churches, senior citizen clubs, and more. We definitely had a wonderful response and anticipate many tours during the Holiday Trail of Light in 2016 and 2017. As previously reported, our office has been making sales calls and participating in trade shows specifically targeted at the group tour indus- try. We have had a remarkable response. Here is a list of the tours scheduled for November and December of 2015 and the beginning of 2016 our office will be hosting.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, Lynn Dorsey Executive Director PERSPECTIVE Our jayvee President "He seems disconnected from reality." That declaration, used to describe President Obama, did not emanate from Charles Krauthammer or Ted Cruz. No, the words were those of MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, and they were not refuted by his mostly liberal panel of regulars. "The only strategy that's working is the strategy that he tends to dismiss." That damning analysis came not from Ralph Peters or John McCain, but from CNN's Christiane Amanpour. Even many of President Obama's most reliable supporters have awakened from their seven-year slumber. They can finally recognize that he is a commander-in-chief without a strategy, a president without a clue. The day before the Paris terror attacks, the president notoriously boasted that ISIS had been 'contained.' Then, after the attacks, he minimized the carnage as a 'setback.' But when the subject turned to accepting refugees from Syria, President Obama finally displayed some real anger. Not at ISIS or Assad or his own strategy, which many believe led directly to the refugee crisis. The president's palpable ire was directed at Republicans and a few Democrats who are calling for at least a pause in accepting refugees from Syria. The GOP, he said derisively, is 'scared of widows and orphans.' Truth is, Mr. President, a large swath of the world is scared of radical Islam, the ideology that dare not speak its name in your administration. And there is good reason for that fear. Just as the president was mocking his political rivals, the Islamists of Boko Haram were busy slaughtering 50 innocent civilians in Nigeria. Many of the dead were children. That BILL bloodbath folO’RIELLY lowed dual suicide bombings in Lebanon, the bombing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt, and of course the Paris massacre. Mr. Obama's opponents are not afraid of widows and orphans but they are rightfully worried that his fecklessness has contributed to the growing violence. And many people, both at home and around the world, are also fearful of President Obama's uncanny knack for ignoring reality. Earlier this year he said this to MSNBC: 'There is probably less war and violence around the world today than there might have been thirty, forty years ago.' The president went on to assure everyone that 'things can get better.' On that front he is absolutely correct. Things can get better, but not until the president has a radical change of heart. Let's call it a 'fundamental transformation,' the kind he vowed to bring to the USA. Things may also improve if the next commander-in-chief is someone who can recognize the reality of the world as it exists, not the fantasy of what he or she wishes the world to be. In two weeks President Obama will be back in his comfort zone, talking about the dire consequences of 'climate change' at a massive international environmental junket. If the past is any indication, he will declare 'climate change' to be the biggest threat facing the world today. But this year the conference just happens to be in Paris, whose shell-shocked residents know better. In fact, anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders understands that the biggest threat we face comes from the terrorists of radical Islam, not the possibility of a slightly warmer atmosphere. The subhuman savages of the Islamic State, through their repeated atrocities, have declared war on the West. The time has come for the West to realize we are engaged in a full-scale fight against a determined and brutal opponent. The butchers can be defeated, but we will have to be just as determined, just as brutal. And let's face it, we are in desperate need of a commander who can change strategy when necessary, someone who is strong and resolute and relentless. ISIS is not just a jayvee team, far from it. And to defeat this malignancy, the West requires a leader who is not just a jayvee quarterback. That may sound harsh; it also happens to be true. _áää=lÛoÉáääó=áë=~=í~äâ=ëÜçï=Üçëí çå=cçñ=kÉïëK=eáë=Åçäìãå=êìåë=çå cêáÇ~ó=áå=íÜÉ=jáåÇÉå=mêÉëëJeÉê~äÇK Friday, November 20, 2015 — Minden Press-Herald 5 Around Town Nov. 20 Lakeview UMC’s “Arts and Crafts on the Pond” will be open from 5 until 8 p.m. Nov. 22 Galilee Missionary Baptist Church’s Usher’s Day program will be at 8 a.m. Minister Richard Walker will serve as guest speaker.

I have known the basics of football a long time but she has taught me much more. Since then she would probably tell you how I now truly get into the game; whooping, hollering and stomping my feet through each one. Although we enjoy watching NANCY football together, MCWHORTER this football season has been a huge disappointment for us. It seems Ava and my favorite teams (LSU, the Saints, Texas U, and the Texas Cowboys) have lost more than they have won. Even when Ava superstitiously wears her lucky matching shirts of the team we are following at the time has not helped. The KEEPER recipe I have for you this week is from Evelyn Brandon, a writer for the Texas “Orange County/Bridge City Record” weekly newspaper. Quoting Evelyn: “There is nothing like family football watching parties or playing armchair quarterback with friends and having good old snacks.” True but in my opinion, I believe this would not only be fitting for football game gatherings but also preparing for any party or family/friends occasions.

The Amite Warriors (65) have knocked the Knights out of the Class 3A playoffs two consecutive seasons, but both of those games were played at Amite. This year, the Warriors will make the long trip, while the Knights lick their chops in anticipation of redemption. “We’re excited about the opportunity to play them,” North Webster coach John Ware said. “The fans know the significance of it, as do the players. It’s been a good week of preparation and our kids know what’s expected of them.” The Knights were forced indoors for their Monday and Tuesday practices, but got to practice outdoors on turf at Southern Arkansas University on Wednesday. According to Ware, his team looks sharp ahead of the biggest game of their season. “The kids handled the weather well,” Ware said. “It’s been a good week.” Amite went on to play in the state championship last year after knocking out North Webster in the semi-finals. Many of the same players will take the field this year, and Ware said the Warriors will be a tough out as usual. “They have a new coach this year, so they look a little different,” Ware said. “They have tradition though. They’ve been to the Dome several times, a lot of those kids have played in a state championship, so they expect to win.” In the previous two matchups with Amite, North Webster has been sharp defensively, but offense has been hard to come by. The Knights will have to find some offensive consistency if they expect a different result than in years past. “That’s the one thing we haven’t done in two years against them,” Ware said. “We’ve played pretty good defense, but just couldn’t move the football. We’re probably going to have to play well in the passing game again. You have to pick your spots to go for big plays. They’re big up front and have good athletes on the field, so when you get a chance to make a play, you have to make it.” Big plays are something Amite knows well. “They throw balls up in the air and let their big receivers go make plays,” Ware said. “If we can limit those plays we have a great shot.” A win over the Warriors would certainly give North Webster all the confidence they would need for a run to the Dome. “We have the opportunity to play these guys at home,” Ware said. “To get past this team and make it to Thanksgiving weekend is very important to us.” The Knights and Warriors will kickoff at 7 p.m. in Springhill. Jenny Clarke/Courtesy Photo CROSS-COUNTRY Lander, Greene cruise to state champ status Special to the PressHerald Every cross-country runner trains long and hard in a quest of winning an individual state championship. Every coach hopes his strate- gies and workouts will give his runners an opportunity to achieve this goal. On Monday, at the State 2A Championships at NSU, Alisa Lander, Eric Greene, and Coach Dan Grantham saw this dream become a reality with a sweep of the ladies and men's titles. Alisa Lander defended her state title from 2014, running a 13:38 over the three-mile course. Lander grabbed the lead early and lengthened it during the race. Second place finisher, Alicia Stamey of Episcopal, finished 18 seconds back at 18:56. When asked how it felt to cross the finish line for the second straight year in first place, Lander used simply one word, "wonderful." Eric Greene, state runner-up in 2014, used a different strategy to run away with the 2015 race running a 16:13. Greene laid back until the two-mile mark where he took over the lead and cruised to a 25-second victory over two Episcopal runners. Greene, a senior, said finishing first across the line was like an out of body experience and also that he plans to continue running in college. For the second straight year, Cody Robinson finished allstate by finishing ninth in the men's race with a time of 16:46. Robinson, a junior, said his goal is to win next year's title. Freshmen Tyler Davis and Logan Bailey finished 38th and 66th running times of 18:19 and 19:30. Their seventh grade teammates Austin Nunn and Jeremiah Brown finished 145th and 181st with times of 22:46 and 25:40. The Lakeside men's team scored a total of 249 points which placed them seventh out of the 27 AA teams vying for the championship. The largest field ever consisting of 195 runners finished the race. The Lakeside ladies made up of Lander and six junior high performers placed eighth out of 20 AA teams scoring 244 points. Kerrigan Zachary fin- ished 54th at 22:35. Egypt anderson ran a 23:54 for 72nd place. Alaina Stiles finished 73rd at 23:56. Placing 75th was Angelina Futch at 24:01. Kaylee Davis took 79th at 24:17. Essence Anderson finished 109th at 26:44. A total of 160 ladies finished the race. In summarizing his feelings after the meet Coach Dan Grantham said he was very blessed to have worked with such a good group of kids throughout the year.

He addressed the Minden City Council at the November meeting, making members of the council and public aware of the problem. “In January of 2012, I received a promotion from the position of Officer First Class to Sergeant. At that time, I received a pay increase – which I believed to be the appropriate pay increase for the promotion,” he said at the meeting. “Three years later, I was informed there was an error in the payroll department and I owed the city almost $9,500.” During the meeting, Barnette said Davis informed him earlier this year that he had been receiving $100 too much in each paycheck since the promotion. In an effort to correct the oversight; he said his monthly pay was cut by $200 and the city asked him to pay back $75 a month for the next five years. He told the council he would not voluntarily allow the city to deduct money they say he owes from his paycheck. “You’ll have to sue me and you will have to use taxpayers dollars to do it,” he said at the time. “You’re going to have to fight for it.” Fluhr referred all questions to the law office of Gold, Weems, Bruser, Sues & Rundell in Alexandria in an email at the time, but Davis says the city is not currently retaining the law office for the matter. Davis said in an interview Wednesday that Barnette’s case was still ongoing and would not know the outcome until the audit is over. A public records request for current police officers pay information revealed that Barnette also received the two percent longevity raise a year early. City policy is for employees to receive the 2 percent on the fourth year of consecutive employment. Barnette received his on the third year, Fluhr said. To correct the error, he said the raise was skipped the following year. Davis said he chose not to terminate the payroll clerk following the errors saying everyone makes mistakes. “There were a lot of mistakes made and it has been addressed with the payroll clerk,” he said. “If you dismiss everyone that makes a mistake, you soon wouldn’t have any employees.” Fluhr explained that previously, the two payroll clerks checked each other’s work. To help prevent future errors, he will also be checking over it. He expects the audit to be complete by January. monitoring results will be uploaded to an infographic on the website to simplify the information as it becomes available to the public. As results come in from ESI, Adams says, it will be turned over to the Louisiana Military Department, who will then turn it over to the EPA for public dissemination. Health concerns, getting public health information regarding cancer statistics and other questions were raised during the meeting as well. Some in attendance said they were frustrated with the speed at which the government was able to get information to the public regarding public health. Delores Blalock, a member of the EPA’s Citizens Advisory Group and Camp Minden dialogue committee, says she came away a little disappointed because CAG is searching for grants to fund a public health survey, and they were told the survey they want to do wouldn’t be worth anything. “We know what needs to be done, and we have to figure out how to do it fast for no money,” she said, adding that the grant process takes more time than they have.
