The initial contract was for roughly $19 million and is expected to be increased to $34-$35 million to account for the additional requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. The amount is based on receipt of additional funding that comes from the U.S. Treasury’s Judgment Fund on behalf of the U.S. Army for the work, National Guard officials say. Explosive Service International, a Baton Rougebased company chosen to oversee the cleanup, was issued a Notice to Commence Work for the contract from the Office of State Procurement, Col. Pete Schneider, spokesman for the National Guard said. “The signing of this contract is a significant step forward in the destruction of the M6 and CBI (clean burning igniter) at Camp Minden,” Maj. Gen. Glenn H. Curtis, adjutant general of the National Guard, said. “LMD thanks all of the agencies and individuals who worked tirelessly on the selection process.

It was a daughter who lost her mother in the late 1800s who pushed to recognize fathers and all they do for their children. This woman from Spokane Washington – considered the birthplace of Father’s Day – heard a Mother’s Day sermon at her church. Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired to propose that fathers receive equal recognition. “Dodd, often referred to as the ‘Mother of Father’s Day,’ was 16 years old when her mother died in 1898, leaving her father William Jackson Smart to raise Sonora and her five younger brothers on a remote farm in eastern Washington,” according to a news release from the Spokane Regional Convention and Visitor Bureau. “(In 1909), Sonora took the idea to the Spokane YMCA. The Spokane YMCA, along with the ministerial alliance, endorsed Dodd’s idea and helped it spread by celebrating the first Father’s Day in 1910.” Mother’s Day was established in 1916 by proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson. He approved of the idea of celebrating Father’s Day but never signed a proclamation for the holiday, according to usa.gov. Dodd suggested her father’s birthday, June 5, be established as the day to honor all fathers; however, the pastors wanted more time to prepare, so June 19, 1910 was designated as the first Father’s Day.

Odom says he could not comment on the suit, but did say it has nothing to do with the police jury. “I was on private business in there when it happened,” he said. “I’ve ODOM been told not comment on it.” According to the suit, he was at the tax assessor’s office on Sept. 27, 2014, and was injured during a fall at the threshold between two adjacent rooms. “The flooring of one room is six to ten inches lower than the adjacent room,” the suit reads. “The flooring appears basically the same color in both rooms.” It goes on to read safety measures available to the See JURY, Page 2 Court WatCh Homer man accused of armed robbery on trial MICHELLE BATES [email protected] Vol. 46 No. 251 See M6, Page 2 Police juror files suit against jury Featured Items of the Week Tomatoes (Green & Red) Purple Hull Peas Cabbage Squash Bell Peppers Mahaffey's Organic Meats Jams and Jellies Plants Crafts with all of our partners to ensure we see the safe and complete destruction of the M6 and CBI.” Ron Curry, EPA regional administrator calls the contract signing an “important achievement.” “LMD’s signing of the contract for the alternative technology for the disposal An accused armed robber is on trial this week and court officials say the trial was expected to wrap up Thursday. Laderrius Shelton, 21, of the 900 block of Cole- man Street in Homer, was on trial this week accused of armed robbery. At the time of his SHELTON arrest, Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper said Shelton and another male entered a convenience store on the corner of East Union and Fort Streets armed with a .45 caliber handgun. “The clerk indicated that one was wearing black clothes with something on his face,” Cropper said. “The other was wear- ing a gray sweater, white tshirt, black pants, white shoes and no globes and holding what she believed to be a .45 caliber handgun.” The clerk allegedly told police the one wearing the gray sweater to give him the money or he would shoot her. Cropper says they forced her to open the register and they took an undetermined amount of cash and ran out of the store. Once police captured Shelton, a .45 caliber handgun was found on one of the men. The other male is listed as Brian Gilbert. SECONDFRONT 2 Friday, June 19, 2015 – Minden Press-Herald www.press-herald.com Troubles erupt in LSU Shreveport hospital privatization BATON ROUGE — LSU leaders and the manager of the university system's Shreveport hospital are again at odds, and the threat of a possible breach of contract lawsuit emerged Thursday in the privatization deal. A last-minute add-on to Friday's LSU Board of Supervisors agenda shows a possible discussion about "prospective litigation" against the Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana for violating its contract to run LSU's Shreveport and Monroe hospitals. The research foundation, which operates the two hospitals as University Health System, said it doesn't know anything about the agenda item, releasing a statement saying its leaders "have not been notified by LSU or any other party of any alleged breach of contract, or that any discussion of our (contract) would occur." LSU officials didn't respond to questions about the matter. University Health System officials said they already planned to be at FATHERS Continued from page 1 “His kindness and the sacrifices he made inspired me,” Dodd said in the New York Sun on June 17, 1939.

The contracts, according to University Health, would have LSU doctors working at Willis-Knighton Health System clinics to provide specialty care. David Ettinger, an antitrust lawyer hired by University Health, said if LSU doctors shift much of their specialty care to Willis-Knighton, that will drive insured patients away from the state-owned facility and will boost state costs for uninsured care. "It will be very harmful to patients. It will be very harmful to the taxpayers of Louisiana," Ettinger said. Willis-Knighton didn't return a call for comment, and an LSU spokeswoman refused to respond to the University Health complaints about the contracts. LSU officials and University Health's managers have repeatedly clashed since Gov. Bobby Jindal privatized the hospital nearly two years ago. The Biomedical Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana took control of LSU's Shreveport and Monroe hospitals in October 2013, as part of Jindal's push to privatize most of the university-run public hospital system. The foundation had never run a patient care facility when it got the no-bid contract. After the management transfer, tensions spilled into public view. Financial documents took nearly a year to complete. LSU sent a collection letter demanding millions in payments during the dispute. The foundation accused LSU of mismanaging its clinics. University Health's CEO abruptly resigned in March. An outside consulting firm hired by LSU officials has said the privatization deal for the Shreveport hospital has created such management and financial tensions that it threatens the health of the university's nearby medical school. Lawmakers have raised concerns about the financial viability of the hospital's business model and have described poor working relationships between LSU and University Health “Besides that, at that time the pendulum of disrespect for fathers had swung too far, I thought…I thought that fathers should be revered as mothers always had been.” It was years before Father’s Day gained national attention. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recognized Father’s Day and urged states to do likewise, according to the release. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a proclamation calling for the third Sunday in June to the contractor is informed upfront of the federal and state environmental requirements that the work plan must address to protect the public.

More information will be provided as it becomes available. cause someone to fall. Parish attorney Patrick Jackson says the case has been turned over to the police jury’s insurance to handle. “It has been received and turned over to (the parish’s liability) insurance,” he said. “The insurance company will work to resolve the matter.” The suit was filed May 27.

But Ettinger said even the contracts proposed between the LSU doctors and Willis-Knighton risks giving the health system so much of the patient care market in Shreveport that it could violate federal antitrust laws designed to promote competition. He noted Willis- Knighton previously raised antitrust concerns itself two years ago, when it decided against entering a privatization deal with the Jindal administration to take over the LSU Shreveport hospital. be recognized as Father’s Day and requested that flags be flown that day on all government buildings.

Today, Father’s Day is celebrated in over 50 countries around the world.

It is a day set aside to honor all the hard-working dads who provide for their children and sacrifice so their children can thrive. So in that spirit, I’d like to introduce you to my dad. His name is Mike. He’s 67 years old and lives in Florida with my wonderful stepmother Patricia. Growing up, my favorite moments were sitting in his lap in his recliner on Monday nights watching NFL football. Our favorite teams included the Dallas Cowboys (Yes, Gregg Parks, we were Cowboy fans), the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins among the many teams we rooted for. We even rooted for the New Orleans Saints in the days they were called the “Ain’ts.” (I will say here I have been a die-hard Saints fan since I was introduced to football.) He traveled a lot for his job at the time and the days he came home were the absolute best. He never came home empty-handed. He always had a hug and a small trinket for me. I still have a tumbler he brought home to me from the 1984 Worlds Fair in New Orleans. It’s a little scratched and the glass is a little foggy, but it is still precious to me. Then one day, he moved out of our home in MICHELLE BATES Monroe and my life forever changed. While my parents’ divorce was a difficult time in my young life, my mom and dad always stayed constant even when I didn’t. At times, my teenage years were a bit tumultuous, but he always told me he loved me no matter what. He did what any good dad would do and scared the “bejesus” out of any boy I brought home and tried his best to make sure I had decent grades at school. After my mom passed away, he did his best to raise me as I grieved. My dad is by no means a saint, but he will always be my hero. No matter what was going on in our relationship or what was going on in our family, he made sure he was there for me during the most important events in my life, like my high school graduation and when I walked down the aisle to a new life with my husband. He sat with me, alongside my husband, the day my youngest son was born. He held my hand as the labor pains became too much, and I was told he cried when he saw my son in the nursery for the first time. As we grow older, our relationship has evolved into one I cherish every moment of the day. I have watched him pass on the wisdom to my children he handed down to me. I have watched him teach my boys the same tricks in the Atlantic Ocean he taught me when I was a little girl. Today, he is a man I respect and admire. My stepmother, Patricia, has some debilitating health issues, and he has been by her side since he returned to Florida so many years ago. He has taken care of her, loved her and worshipped her since they day they reunited. You see, they were sweethearts in high school and through some of their college days. For whatever reason, they parted ways and lived their lives apart. When they got back together after 30 some odd years, it was like they’d never been apart. They spend each day as if it is their last together, and I truly admire him for that. While he cares for her every need and want, he is still my dad and grandfather to my two boys. He is my hero, and I will always be “Daddy’s little girl.” jáÅÜÉääÉ=_~íÉë=áë=~=êÉéçêíÉê=~í íÜÉ=jáåÇÉå=mêÉëëJeÉê~äÇK MINDEN PRESS-HERALD 2 0 3 G L E A S O N S T R E E T, M I N D E N , LO U I S I A N A 710 5 5 318 - 37 7 - 18 6 6 • w w w. p r e s s - h e r a l d . c o m USPS NUMBER 593-340 DAVID A.

In addition, based on bios, names, and photos, not a single member of this group is of Puerto Rican heritage. Yet the city they serve is more than half minority. So where's the liberal outrage? Well, it turns out that the organization described above is the editorial board of the New York Times. You know, the "paper of record." These are the very same people, comfortably ensconced in their doorman buildings, who tell New York cops BILL how to O’RIELLY properly police the city's poor precincts, where murders are soaring. "Stop-and-frisk" may have lowered crime and saved thousands of black lives, but New York opinion-shapers groused that the police tactic disproportionately affected black New Yorkers. Kind of like the editorial board is disproportionately pasty-hued. What are the odds that some of these influential Times editorialists have a son or daughter, a brother or sister, walking a beat in the Bronx? How about a nephew or uncle? The expression "slim to none" comes to mind. Meanwhile, a few miles north of Times Square, the City College of New York named its student center in honor of Assata Shakur. You may remember her as Joanne Chesimard, a convicted cop-killer who fled to Cuba. In that same spirit, a teacher in suburban New York had her students send get-well cards to Wesley Cook when he fell ill recently. Wesley Cook? That's Mumia Abu Jamal, the celebrated thug who brutally executed a cop. There is a wide and growing disconnect between liberal America and traditional America when it comes to the men and women who serve and protect. Far too many progressives look at uniformed police officers with dismissive disdain. Although they'll quickly yell for a cop the moment someone dents their Prius or Lexus or Tesla. There is a striking parallel when it comes to our military. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said this: "With each passing decade, fewer and fewer Americans know someone with military experience in their family or social circle." Admiral Mike Mullen, once the most powerful military man in America, echoed that, saying, "America doesn't know its military and the United States military doesn't know America." It brings to mind a pithy observation put forth by a DC pundit: "Nobody at any Washington dinner party tonight ... personally knows any enlisted man or woman now defending the nation." The very same thing can be said of the swells in New York City, who attend dinner parties where no one actually knows a uniformed cop. One exception may be Mayor Bill de Blasio, the ultra-liberal cop-demonizer-in-chief. We hereby concede that he is probably on a firstname basis with the wellarmed NYPD officers on his security detail. This is a very disturbing trend. Too many elite, educated Americans go through life without having any personal contact with a man or woman wearing a uniform. (Doormen and airline pilots don't count!) But they are never shy about denouncing cops and soldiers. Right now there is an anticop conflagration in America, stoked by liberal cable networks, irresponsible public officials, and once-great newspapers that rush to judgment. To be fair, the critics were absolutely correct in the most recent allegation of police misconduct. Corporal David Casebolt never should have drawn his gun at that pool party in Texas, nor should he have manhandled the teenager. Everyone knows that. Casebolt himself knows that, which is why he almost immediately resigned. Casebolt is the rare exception, but he'll be held up as the personification of all that's wrong with America's cops. Many of the folks screaming the loudest have never met a cop they liked. But that's mainly because they've never met a cop ... period! To them, cops are those beefy guys who guzzle Bud and have barbeques in Queens and Staten Island. There is a growing disrespect for police officers in some neighborhoods, a willingness to brazenly defy and confront the cops who face tremendously difficult situations every day. TV news and editorial boards are exacerbating this ominous breakdown in the law enforcement contract. How about if our media elites put down their brie and wine and take a moment to actually meet a few cops? Maybe even talk over a Bud and a burger. Who knows what they might discover from a real-life encounter with the people who are charged with protecting all of us from harm? Actually, they may learn a lot if they'd be willing to stop lecturing for a few minutes ... and listen. _áää=lÛoÉáääó=áë=~=í~äâ=ëÜçï Üçëí=çå=cçñ=kÉïëK=eáë=Åçäìãå êìåë=çå=cêáÇ~ó=áå=íÜÉ=jáåÇÉå mêÉëëJeÉê~äÇK EDITORIAL ROUND UP The Advocate on the rape bill If you're looking for good news out of the 2015 Legislature, there is some, as lawmakers and the administration of Gov. Bobby Jindal tackled a problem and for the time at least have produced a solution. The issue was the patchwork of policies around the state regarding a sensitive issue: rape. Some victims — obviously, greatly concerned about privacy — have been sent bills from many hospitals or clinics for their own forensic exams. The administration and legislators — among them state Rep. Helena Moreno and state Sen. J.P. Morrell, both New Orleans Democrats — worked on this issue and found it more complex than it first appeared. Obviously, medical services cost money and providers need to be paid. At the same time, the possibilities of embarrassment or, worse, disclosure had to be avoided. Law enforcement has a stake in this issue, as billing is a small issue that could lead victims to avoid seeking treatment or reporting attacks. As Morrell told the Senate last week, "It was a dark day for Louisiana when you had rape victims receiving a bill for their exams. We don't want them to ever see the bill." That led to passage of two measures. Under House Bill 143, some unclaimed gambling winnings will now go to a fund that will cover the costs. House Bill 835 would bar hospitals and clinics from sending bills to victims for the exams or health care services related to sexually criminal offenses, including testing for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy tests. Billings could go to the Crime Victims Reparations Board. This issue involved large numbers of institutional partners, the lawmakers and the administration working in common purpose. That's one of the good things that came out of the recently concluded legislative session. As has been the case with these legislators and this governor, funding is something of a problem. The state general fund being largely broke, the dedication of some unclaimed gambling winnings is another dodge for lawmakers who want to spend money but find it politically difficult to tax somebody to pay for their good intentions. We're not sure this dedication is the final answer, but it provides a funding source to deal with the immediate pressures raised by advocates for the victims. Perhaps the money issue can be addressed in the future, but today's problem had been getting unfortunate national publicity for Louisiana. For those who are victimized, and for the state's reputation as a whole, the legislation put together this year is good news and welcome. Give us your two cents!

He was 79. Before A&M, he attended Springhill High School where he graduated in 1954. The university said Crow died Wednesday night surrounded by his family. A cause of death was not disclosed. Crow was the first Heisman winner for the Aggies, who were coached at the time by Paul "Bear" Bryant. crow During the 1957 season, Bryant famously said: "If John David Crow doesn't win the Heisman Trophy, they ought to stop giving it." He had 129 carries for 562 yards and six touchdowns during his Heisman season. He also threw five touchdown passes and played defense, where he grabbed five interceptions. He ran for 1,465 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught four touchdowns in his threeyear career at Texas A&M. Like other Heisman Trophy winners in that era, Crow's statistics were not impressive by modern standards. Even in 1957, Crow's yards rushing didn't match SWC champion Jim Shofner of TCU. But Crow was a complete football player. He never missed a tackle in three years as the Aggies' safety and intercepted five passes in his senior season. On offense, he averaged less than 13 carries a game, but he also caught passes, threw a few and returned kicks. Bryant told his sports information director, Jones Ramsey, to go through the play-by-play charts and come up with a category in which Crow would lead the nation—“Players Run Over.” At Springhill High, Crow led the Lumberjacks to the 1952 Class A state championship as a junior. The following year, he gained 1,366 yards rushing in only 84 attempts, an average of 16.3 yards per carry, and 23 touchdowns. His career totals were 51 touchdowns and 353 points. After the Lumberjacks didn't qualify for the 1953 state playoffs because of a Thanksgiving Day loss to Minden, Crow led the basketball team to the state championship with a 56-42 victory over Minden (built around 6-8 sophomore superstar Jackie Moreland) in the finals. He lived in College Station in his later years and delighted in spending time with Johnny Manziel the year the quarterback joined him as a Heisman winner. In an interview with The Associated Press just before Manziel won the award, Crow was reminded of Bryant's famous words about him and asked if he felt the same way about Johnny Football. "I don't have near the audience that coach Bryant had," he said in 2012, chuckling. "I'm not sure how big that would go over." Crow became a favorite of Aggie fans when he helped Texas A&M to its first win over Texas in Austin in 1956. Crow, who was born in Marion, Louisiana, didn't fully understand the importance of the rivalry at the time. "It was an electrifying crowd for a young guy that came out of a little ol' town in Louisiana," Crow said in 2012. "I came from Louisiana and at that time I knew about LSU and Tulane— that was a big rivalry. It just wasn't as big a thing to me then. It obviously has grown in my mind to become a very, very big game." Crow was the second pick in the 1958 NFL draft and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection in a professional career with the Chicago/ St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Crow piled up 4,963 yards rushing, 3,699 yards receiving and threw from 759 yards in his 11-year NFL career. He coached with Bryant at Alabama and was the head coach at Northeast Louisiana University, now known as Louisiana-Monroe, from 1975-80, where he went 20-34-1. He later returned to Texas A&M where he worked in various positions in the athletic department until his retirement in 2001. COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Tigers heading home OMAHA, Neb. -After entering in a tie game in the fourth inning, TCU reliever Trey Teakell retired all 13 batters he faced to help eliminate the LSU baseball from the 2015 College World Series, 84, on Thursday night at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. LSU (54-12), champion of the Southeastern Conference, saw its season come to an end just short of the CWS "final four." The Tigers managed seven hits while TCU collected 10 off eight Tigers pitchers. “Right now my feelings are just very, very sad for our players that gave so much and so much effort this year with the goal of winning a national championship, and we've come a little bit short,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “In particular, it's going to be really difficult to say goodbye to a group of really wonderful kids that have played their last game for LSU. The tough thing about this business is you work so hard all year, really for the years leading up to this year. And you have hopes and aspirations, and then the finality of it is so quick and so cruel, really. You expect to be playing for the championship, and your team wins 54 games during the season and you win championships along the way, but the one you really want to win is so difficult. “And tonight we just got outplayed. We got outplayed by a team that brought in a really good relief pitcher and he baffled us for five innings. We just didn't pitch quite well enough today. And they got a few big hits. We scratched and clawed and fought as hard as we could, but it was just not enough tonight. Because of that, our season comes to an end. But we've won a lot of games. We just couldn't win the last game of the year.” Teakell (3-1) needed only 36 pitches to complete 4 1/3 perfect innings that put the Horned Frogs in a bracket final rematch against Vanderbilt on Friday. He entered with the game tied at 3-3 in the fourth inning and exited with two outs and no one on base in the eighth, leading 8-3. TCU scored two runs in the seventh when Jesse Stallings walked Cody Jones to lead off the inning and Jeremie Fagnan added a bunt single. Jones came around to score on an RBI groundout by Skoug, and Steinhagen drove in Wanhanen for the Horned Frogs' final run. Of LSU's five walks, four of the TCU runners scored. LSU attempted to mound a rally with one out in the top of the ninth, as Chris Sciambra reached when TCU couldn't field a high popup in shallow left field. Andrew Stevenson hit a double inside the third base bag to cut the deficit to 8-4. A two-out single by Mark Laird and a stolen base put runners at second and third for Jared Foster, who struck out on three pitches from TCU reliever Preston Guillory.

Friday, June 19, 2015 — Minden Press-Herald 7 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Tiger players arrested Four LSU football players have been placed on indefinite suspension after their arrests Thursday. Quarterback Anthony Jennings, cornerback Dwayne Thomas and defensive lineman Maquedius Bain were arrested and booked on unauthorized entry into an inhabited dwelling, police records show. Thomas was also booked on simple burglary. Defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao, earlier Thursday, was arrested and booked on simple battery and simple robbery, a felony. LSU team spokesman Michael Bonnette said the two incidents are unrelated. LSU coach Les Miles immediately suspended all four players and has met with them, according to a statement the coach released to The Advocate. “We are still working with campus housing and the authorities to determine what exactly took place,” Miles said in the statement. “This is an ongoing investigation and our players will cooperate fully.” The four players were booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish prison, and three of them bonded out at 8:21 p.m. Thursday. Jennings had a bail of $5,000, Bain a bail of $5,000 and Thomas $10,000. The three players were spotted leaving the prison in LSU gear. Lealaimatafao remains in jail in lieu of $15,000 bail. The arrests of Jennings, Thomas and Bain stem from an event Sunday. The three players and at least three more males entered a West Campus Apartment and broke into a bedroom, removing items from the room, a police report says. They did so with the presumed intent to retrieve items said to have been stolen from Jennings’ apartment on June 10 — a MacBook Air, three pairs of shoes and a PlayStation 4. Jennings filed a police report on June 10 for the stolen items. Before Sunday’s incident, Jennings told police Bain had retrieved the laptop from Nicholas Anderson, who bought it from a person nicknamed “Doodaman,” the report says.

The highly-anticipated and widely-publicized construction of the $20 million-plus South End Zone project has been the focal point of the new additions to Joe Aillet Stadium since construction began more than a year ago. However, a brand new playing surface will also welcome the Tech faithful and Skip Holtz’s Bulldogs as the existing turf will be replaced starting June 22. “We are excited to announce this enhancement to Joe Aillet Stadium,” said Tech Athletics Director Tommy McClelland. “Providing a world class playing surface for our student-athletes to practice and play on reflects our continued commitment to the Quest for Excellence campaign.” The new turf is called FieldTurf Revolution and is a system that produces brighter colors and increased longevity. It has been designed to be the very best synthetic turf system with unparalleled player safety and turf drainage rates. The new turf will include an updated design that will only enhance the new south end zone facility and the overall aesthetics at Joe Aillet Stadium.
