Without the resurrection, our Christian faith would be just wish- ful thinking, no better than human philosophies and speculative religions. In fact, the noted seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke, some of whose ideas were incorporated into the Declaration of Independence, wrote, “Our Savior’s resurrection is truly of great importance in Christianity, so great that His being or not being the Messiah stands or falls with it.” More so than Christmas or any other holiday, Easter is what Chris- tianity is all about. Without the resurrection there is no hope. With it, even death has no sting. Jesus spoke to his disciples about His sufferings and death: “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again” (Mark 8:31). Paul knew that without the resurrection our salvation could not have been possible (1 Corinthians 15). He was also convinced a per- son couldn’t be saved without believing in the resurrection of Jesus: “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved” (Ro- mans 10:9). It is important to remember that Paul, the other apostles, and ev- ery leader in the early church continually proclaimed Christ’s res- urrection as the culmination of His ministry. Those men were so captivated by the significance of the resurrection that they could not help but preach it. And that should be our attitude today. The good news of Christ’s birth is only trumped by the great news of his death, burial and resurrection.

Have a Joyous EasterThis Sunday is my 40th birthday, but more importantly it is Eas-

ter Sunday. It is a time for us to reflect as Christians on the gift the Lord Jesus gave all of us who believe in Him. It is very easy for us to neglect the importance and meaning of this holiday, and become ab-sorbed with the commercial aspects of candy, bunnies and eggs, and for me I could easily become overindulged celebrating my middle-aged milestone.

Don’t misunderstand my intent, as a father of four young children, husband to a wonderful wife, as well as your local small community newspaper owner - there is nothing wrong with the Easter Bunny and celebration, but I believe that it is important to understand the importance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as central to the Christian faith.

Without the resurrection, our Christian faith would be just wish-ful thinking, no better than human philosophies and speculative religions. In fact, the noted seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke, some of whose ideas were incorporated into the Declaration of Independence, wrote, “Our Savior’s resurrection is truly of great importance in Christianity, so great that His being or not being the Messiah stands or falls with it.”

More so than Christmas or any other holiday, Easter is what Chris-tianity is all about. Without the resurrection there is no hope. With it, even death has no sting. Jesus spoke to his disciples about His sufferings and death: “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again” (Mark 8:31).

Those men were so captivated by the significance of the resurrection that they could not help but preach it. And that should be our attitude today. The good news of Christ’s birth is only trumped by the great news of his death, burial and resurrection.

This Holy Week, take some extra time to reflect on the greatest gift God ever gave us, His son, and through Him eternal life. Go to a church, or celebrate in your own personal way.

And this Sunday, if you would like to celebrate my 40th birthday with me, I could receive no better present than if you would join me at Zachary Community Church located 4455 Church Street. The Easter Service begins at 11:00 a.m. I’m the guy sitting on the right side of the church, with four kids, a gorgeous wife, and little more grey on my head than I had last year. Come say hello and sit with us!

Happy Easter.

Daniel Duggan, PublisherWest Feliciana Council Upbeat at March 23 Meeting in St. FrancisvilleBy Patricia Stallman

Introducing Rob Hunter at the March 23 West Feliciana Parish Council meet-ing, Parish President Kevin Couhig called him “a Parks and Recreation guy who’s head and shoulders above the crowd.“ Couhig said that Hunter has made the Par-ish Sports Park “a true community park” where both arts and sports “can flourish.” Hunter continues to welcome a series of events, Couhig said, including a challenge to childhood obesity and a tennis tourna-ment.

Community Supports Sports Park Events

Hunter was present to report on the March 31 President’s Walk, an event to involve the community in the fight against

childhood obesity. The idea for the Par-ish President’s leading a walk came from Hunter’s visit to his grandmother in Sara-sota, Florida, where that community held a Mayor’s Walk to promote health.

The plan in West Feliciana was for children to come together at Bains El-ementary School at 8:30 a.m. and walk the 2.25 miles to St. Francisville’s Sports Park, where they would then engage in “60 minutes of active play,” Hunter said. Committing to support the challenge were representatives of the entire community: school leaders, fire and police department professionals, hospital representatives, and medics.

The drum section of the West Feli-ciana High School band signed on to set

the beat for the march, and the American Legion, to “call the cadence.” The fire de-partment agreed to provide a “barricade of fire trucks in the middle of the road” as a safety measure, and the West Feliciana Hospital offered healthy snacks and water.

The last he heard, he said, the St. Fran-cisville Bank, the sheriff’s office, and the hospital were putting together teams to cheer on the walkers. Hunter encouraged all adults to “chaperone,” that is, to pro-vide safety.

For supporters unable to walk the over two-mile distance, Parks and Recreation promised to provide a shuttle so that they too could encourage the challenge for a healthy community.

Couhig noted that the West Feliciana

park would host a tennis tournament of 60 teams the following Friday and Saturday and that Missy and Miles Higgins had been instrumental in bringing the event to the Parish.

Hunter and Couhig referred to a recent survey that asks citizens what further activ-ities they wish to find at their community park. “A swimming pool?” asked Council Member Lea Williams with a smile. Hunt-er replied that as long as a structure was open-air, it met the guidelines for funding.

StEP: Student Entrepreneur

Summer ProgramBy carla SiBille

Louisiana North Alumni Associa-tion, Inc., and the Louisiana Small Busi-ness Development Center at Southern University have partnered to develop our region’s next generation of business owners and community leaders through a summer Student Entrepreneur Pro-gram. StEP is for students who have an idea or product that they believe will succeed in the marketplace. Organizers encourage students to apply, no matter where they might be in the development process.

StEP will teach students how to cre-ate, build and grow a successful business and will conclude with a business pitch competition, with winners receiving ad-ditional support to bring their business to market. Sessions will take place June 6, June 13 and June 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Small Business Develop-ment Center, 616 Harding Boulevard, on Southern University’s Baton Rouge campus. Business development experts will lead the sessions.

StEP is free to students chosen to participate.

Limited slots are available for stu-dents who reside in the communities of Baker, Central, East and West Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, North Baton Rouge, and Zachary and who will enter grades 9 through 12 during the 2015–2016 aca-demic year.

Interested students should complete and submit a StEP application by April 6, 2015. Applications are available at lo-cal libraries, chamber offices, and school offices or by email at [email protected]. All application materials will remain confidential.

Jackson’s First and Second Graders Mark Black History MonthStudents, families, and community

members took a journey through a rich tapestry of American history at Jackson Elementary's annual Black History Month Program, created and presented entirely by the school's first and second grade stu-dents. Second grade students researched important topics ranging from the Under-ground Railroad to jazz music, and history makers ranging from Frederick Douglass to Shirley Chisholm. They then wrote and presented their own speeches in the voices of these figures. First grade students per-formed a traditional West African folk song and dance. "We are very proud of the work of our students," said Jackson El-ementary Principal Megan Phillips.

Codie Henson as General Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr., shares his story while Dashayla Goss as Miles Davis and Daylon Harris with remarks on jazz music look on.

State Rep. Havard Plans District 62 Day at the Capitol

By Patricia Stallman

State Representative Kenny Ha-vard is organizing a District 62 Day at the Capitol for May 5. The event will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the pentagon barracks courtyard next to the State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge.

The plan is to give members of the legislature and their families a taste of all that the Felicianas and Zachary have to offer, including historic sites, excellent cuisine and wines, festi-vals and historic events, shops, parks, sports, arts, music, and hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts.

Havard has invited the Chambers of Commerce from both East and West Feliciana and from Zachary and all of the tourism groups in his district. He has also invited the mayors of Zachary and the Felicianas or their representa-tives and all other elected officials, in-cluding school board and police jury members. Feliciana Cellars of Jackson will offer samples of its wine, and sev-eral St. Francisville restaurants have already agreed to provide samples of their unmatched-anywhere cuisine.

Havard’s Legislative Assistant Diane R. Womack says, “We would love to see any restaurant, shop, bed and breakfast, plantation home, deli, RV park, bee keeper, winery, artist,

author, musician, band, golf shop or golf course, or any other business the owner would like to showcase at the Capitol, businesses that say, ‘Come see what District 62 has to offer.’ ”

Participants should bring a tent and a table, Womack says, to set up their display.

East Feliciana Chamber of Com-merce Director Audrey Faciane and West Feliciana Chamber Director Ker-ry Everitt are busy contacting possible participants, including those who wish to provide brochures describing their offerings.

Those who would like to take part may contact Faciane at 225-634-7155, Everitt at 225-635-6717, or Womack at 225-634-7470.

Womack asks that businesses and groups inform her by April 30 of their intention to participate so that she can provide space for everyone.

Publisher’s Note: State Representative Kenny Havard of District 62 would like to an-nounce that he has not yet awarded his Tulane Legislative Scholarship.

If you have already applied and been accepted to attend Tulane in the 2015-2016 school year and are interested in applying for Rep. Havard’s Scholarship the deadline to ap-ply to his office will be April 9, 2015 at 3:30.

Please send your letter of request with a copy of your resume to his office at P. O. Box 217, Jackson, Louisiana 70748 or email them to [email protected].

COUNCIL continued from page 1

Pickleball—A pickleball class, open to adults age18 and older, will run from April 14 through May 21 at the West Feliciana community park basketball pavilion. Ses-sions are Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. or Monday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Hunter says that pickleball, “a raqcquet sport that com-bines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis,” is “easy to learn and great ex-ercise.” It is, in addition, “one of the fastest growing sports and exercise programs for adults.” The fee is $25 for 12 sessions or three dollars per session.

Walking club—A free walking club will begin meeting once a week on April 7 to enjoy the West Feliciana community

park’s trails and pathways. The group will meet on Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to “enjoy the scenery at the park and the surrounding walking trails.” Walkers will compete for prizes based on the num-ber of miles they accumulate. All ages are welcome.

Movie in the Park—Hunter says that the park has a new “jumbo screen” for its monthly, family-friendly movies. “Bring your blankets and chairs,” he says, to the community park baseball field B-2. Mov-ie admission is free. Concessions will offer popcorn and drinks for purchase. The next movie is set for April 24.

Intro to Kayaking—A local paddler from Bayou Sara Kayak Rental will now offer youth kayak lessons at the West Feliciana community park on April 11. Paddlers ages 10 to 14 will meet at the

community park pond from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; ages 15 and older, from 11 a.m. to noon. Lessons will include “basic boat handling techniques, proper paddling techniques for various conditions, han-dling a kayak in current, styles and sizes of kayaks, and how to pick out a beginner boat,” Hunter says. Parks and Recreation will provide all equipment. The lesson cost is $20. Classes are limited to seven participants per time slot. Contact Parks and Recreation at 225-784-8447 for more information and to sign up.

Golf Tournament Coming to The Bluffs

The Parish President also noted that The Bluffs community and its “great golf course,” will host, for the first time, a pro-fessional golf tournament from April 27 through the first Saturday in May. The Mary Bird Perkins Merrill Lynch Open, which will offer a $125,000 winner’s purse, is, according to Bluff’s Golf Pro Tom Agazzi, a men’s mini-tour event.

On the Tuesday and Wednesday of the event, Couhig said, teams of three business people and one professional golfer will compete, an opportunity that will bring in business leaders from the region.

The 2014 Mary Bird Perkins Mer-rill Lynch Open, according to its Google site, raised more than $203,000 to assist cancer patients throughout the Mary Bird Perkins—Our Lady of the Lake Hospital’s 18-parish service area.

Parish President’s Report

In his President’s report, Couhig shared “raw statistics related to road usage,” data the Parish will use to “measure priorities” in its work on Parish roads. He asked that Council members and residents report in-formation on the roads in their districts.

He also noted that the Feliciana Super-market building, which will soon serve as the location of social services for the Par-ish, “is a very fine building at a very eco-nomical price.” The current owners of the store, Couhig said, are moving their opera-tion a bit south on Highway 61 into a facil-ity that is at least two-and-a-half times the size of the current store and that will offer goods that, in the past, residents have had to leave the Parish to find.

At the Town of St. Francisville meet-ing the following evening, March 24, Council members noted that Feliciana Supermarket is donating its coolers to the social service agencies. In a telephone interview Wednesday, March 25, Mike LeBlanc of Feliciana Supermarket con-firmed the “win-win” agreement for both the store and the agencies. The store, LeB-lanc said, is donating “whatever is in place that’s beneficial to the new occupants.” That includes a walk-in freezer, a walk-in dairy cooler, some shelving and, in the deli area, three-compartment sinks and the serving line.

Council BusinessThe Council exited a public hearing to

pass, unanimously, an ordinance to trans-fer funds from the Burnett Property fund “to provide matching funds to apply for the Land and Water conservation Grant.” In addition, the members approved a re-zoning request to accommodate parking lot and cemetery needs for the Galilee Full Gospel Baptist Church, Inc.

Council Members also set April 27 at 5:30 p.m. for a public hearing on “amend-ing the West Feliciana Parish Code of Ordinances regarding the Fire Prevention Bureau” as “recommended by the Fire Protection District.” At the same hearing, the Council will consider abandoning part of a road between West Feliciana Parkway and Street D.

Chief James Wood Addresses Ordi-nance Changes

Fire District No. 1 Chief James Wood addressed the Fire Prevention Bureau or-dinance and answered Council members’ questions at length regarding the Fire Pre-vention District’s public safety education, fire investigations, and fire inspections. The purpose of the changes to the ordi-nance, Wood said, is to address changes in the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana fire suppression rating schedule, which is used to evaluate fire protection and set the cost of fire insurance. Those PIAL changes will now include fire pre-vention activities, Wood says, “as part of the requirements of the rating, as opposed to their previous status” as bonus points in the evaluation.

If adopted, Woods says, the ordinance will read:

“(a) There is hereby created for the par-ish a body titled “Fire Protection District No. 1 Fire Prevention Bureau” and shall abide by the regulations set forth in this ordinance and as provided in Louisiana Revised Statute 40:1563 as well as other pertinent regulations promulgated by the Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal. (b) The purpose of the Fire Prevention Bureau is to conduct fire and explosion cause and origin investigations, provide public fire and life safety education, and conduct fire prevention and life safety inspections in accordance with the Exhibit B of the West Feliciana Parish Building Code which in-cludes the National Electric Code (NEC), Standard Fire Prevention Code (NFPA 1) and the Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) as amended form time to time. (c) The mem-bers of the Fire Prevention Bureau shall be appointed and removed by the Chief of Fire Protection District No. 1 of the West Feliciana Parish.”
