No Layoffs, Major Cuts Set for Central Schools

CENTRAL — The Advocate for Wednesday,March23,2011,recount-edthefiscalcrisiswhichparishschoolsystems around the state are facing. For example, the East Baton RougeParishSchoolSystemhasa$39mil-liondeficitandtheprobabilityoflay-offsofsomeofthesystem’s6,500em-ployees. Likewise, Livingston Parish schoolshavedeclaredafinancialcrisis

for this school year. But,sofar,theCentralCommunitySchool System has no plans for lay-offs or major cutbacks, according to schoolsSupt.MikeFaulk. Even with explosive enrollment growth over the past four years and the prospect of more growth, Central’s schoolsareonasolidfinancialfoun-dation. Faulk’s hope is that the state’s financial crisis does not eventuallyripple through to Central. Sofar,ithasn’t. Central’s sales and property tax collections are stable. Nevertheless, Supt.Faulkhasnoplan to addmorepersonnel to the school system this coming year, even with the enrollment increases that he projects. However, there is danger ahead in the form of two additional financialburdens next year — salary increases

under the existing salary schedule and increased retirement contributions. Becauseoftheexistingteachersal-ary schedule, teachers in Central will getpayraisesamountingto$390,000next year. This will happen automati-cally. In addition, the state is mandat-ing that school systems increase their payments to the teachers retirement program from 20.2 percent of sala-ries to 23.7 percent next year. This will increase Central’s obligation by $640,000nextyear. These two items alone will cost Central taxpayers $1,130,000 nextyear that is not in the current budget. Fortunately, Supt. Faulk and theschool board have planned for such eventualities and have the resources set aside. The superintendent said the financialconditionofthestate—andthe potential pressure the state will put on local school systems — has him always looking for ways to trim costs in thebudget. But, fornowat least,the Central Community School Sys-tem will not face the layoffs or major cutbacks that many other Louisiana school systems are about to endure. Onceagain,fiscalresponsibilityispaying off for Central.

Central’sInfluenceRidesonSenatePlanCentral Could Have Senator... or Be Marginalized


CENTRAL — The Louisiana Leg-islature called itself into a 25-day SpecialSessiononSundaytoreap-portion Louisiana’s Congressional districts,StateHouse,StateSenate,Public Service Commission, andBoard of Elementary and Second-ary Education. For Central, district lines for these governmental bodies are ex-pected to remain virtually identical, expectfortheStateSenate. In fact, for Central, the SpecialSessionallboilsdowntooneissue:Whether Central will be the popu-lationcenterofanewStateSenatedistrict or whether Central will be carved up among other districts and marginalized. Sen.DaleErdey (R-Livingston)is on a mission to make sure Cen-tralhasatleastafightingchancetohave its own senator. Central, with its growing popula-tion and infrastructure needs, has two membersoftheStateHouse—Reps.ClifRichardsonandBodiWhite—but has never had its own senator. At leastfivemajorSenate reap-portionment plans are under consid-erationintheStateSenate.Theplanmost likely to pass in some form is the plan introduced by SenatePresident Joel Chaisson. It would split Central into two parts. The southern part would be in a district overwhelmingly dominated by Liv-ingston Parish. The northern part of Central would be in a district that circles the outskirts of East BatonRouge Parish all the way to Iber-ville. It would be almost impossi-bleforCentraltoelectaSenatorineitherdistrictforthenext10years. Some other plans, such as oneintroduced by Sen. ElceeGuillory(seemaponthispage),makeCen-tralthebaseofanewSenatedistrict.

UnderGuillory’splan,anewSen-ate District 3 would include a small part of southeastBatonRouge, allof Central, Pride, parts of Zachary, and parts of East and West Felici-ana. Central would be the dominant population group in the district. AsintheChaissonplan,Sen.DaleErdey’s current district includes most of Livingston Parish and the southern part of Central. Now, with Livingston’s explosive population growth, his district needs to shed a lot of population in order to reach

thetargetof110,000. Behind the scenes, Erdey hasbeen working on changes to the Chaisson plan. He likes an amend-

ment to Chaisson’s plan that would createadistrictthat,likeGuillory’splan, begins in southeast BatonRouge and includes almost all ofCentral. But, unlike the Guilloryplan, this proposed district goes east throughSt.Helena,picksupabitofLivingston, and includes about half of Tangipahoa Parish, all the way to Ponchatoula. “This configuration seems a bitoddbut itgivesEastBatonRougeafifthsenator,anditgivesCentrala district that leans conservative,” Erdey said. The demographics of the two plans are as follows: Guillory Plan •Includes97,930fromEastBatonRouge; 10,666 from East Feliciana,and 2,129 from West Feliciana. Voter registrationis75.6percentwhiteand20.2percentblack. Chaisson Plan Amendment • Includes 66,800 fromEast Ba-ton Rouge; 1,700 from Livingston;3,970 from St. Helena, and 47,800from Tangipahoa. Voter registration is78.5percentwhiteand20percentblack. The Senate and GovernmentalAffairs Committee is supposed tohold a public hearing on the various Senate reapportionment plans to-day. The bill the committee reports out of committee is scheduled to be consideredasSpecialOrderof theDayintheSenateonTuesday.Afterpassage,thebillwillgototheStateHouse. Traditionally, the House de-ferstotheSenate’sreapportionmentplanfortheSenate,andvice versa.

He said, “Our primary goal is to provide comprehensive andqualitymed-ical care in a con-venient and com-fortable setting. Having multi-specialty groups available in Cen-tral is not only a convenience to our patients and the community, but it also helps promote continu-ity of care. Our providers are able to communicate and establish a plan of care much easier in this type of setting. I believe that you will see more of this in healthcare facili-ties in the future.

Residents Say Project Violates Master Plan Huntley Place residents voiced thesameconcern.GeraldCampe-lo summed up the views of oth-ers who spoke: “Putting 115 units in that space is high density. If the property is as valuable as you say, you should be able to reduce the density and still make money. Mybiggestconcernisthenumberof units. It doesn’t meet current Planning and Zoning standards. It is highly unreasonable to put 115 units in that space.” Huntley Place resident BobbieDuval expressed concern about the lack of restrictions on renting out the townhouses in the future. “I can’t believe that people won’t be able to rent them out. I know what Central Woods has become.” A number of people spoke infavor of the Couvillion project, including Justin Langlois, Jimmy Nunnally, and Sean Jones. Nun-nally, who is developing the Vil-lageatMagnoliaSquare,said,“As

a fellow developer, I believe it’s important to look at the risk he is taking. It’s very positive for the City of Central.” The townhouse development is part of Central Square, a mixeduse project, which includes CVSPharmacy, Cane’s, restaurants, and other commercial uses. The Council conditioned ap-proval on Couvillion’s agreement that the project would tie into the East Baton Rouge Parish SewerSystem when the system has ca-pacity to accept the project. The Council placed no conditions on the development to require a pe-destrian crossing between the proj-ectandWal-Mart. The vote was: FOR — Councilmen LouisDeJohn, Wayne Messina, AaronMoak,andRalphWashington(4) AGAINST—CouncilmanTonyLoBue(1) ThemeetingwasheldMarch10.


BOBBIE DUVAL, a resident of Huntley Place, opposed the 115 townhouses at Cen-tral Square. She expressed concern thatthey will ultimately be rented out. “I know what Central Woods has become,” she said.

Council Votes to Reduce Permit Fees Starting July 1Continued from Page 1

Sheltonduringlastyear’smunici-palelections.OnMonday,Sheltonsaid he welcomes the lower fees. “I’m very happy the Council de-cided to step up and do something for citizens on permit fees. This is not thefinal answer but a step inthe right direction to make us more competitive with nearby cities and parishes. It was a major issue in

the campaign. I’m glad they real-ized that permit fees are not ‘about right,’ as stated in the campaign.” LoBuesaida3,000-square-foothome being build in Central cur-rently requires $1,660 in permitfees, compared to $435 in Zachary.

Bodi White (R-Central) said the legislators want to use $500,000 in already-appropriated funds to look at a plan primarily using existing rights-of-way. The plan would probably foreclose further work on the proposed Baton Rouge Loop, he said. The new highway would begin on I-10 in West Baton Rouge Parish, go north to the old Mississippi River Bridge, fol-low Airline Hwy. to S. Choctaw and head east along S. Choctaw, crossing BREC land south of the Illinois Central Railroad in Cen-tral, and then crossing the Amite River with a new bridge to Den-ham Springs. White said local legislators have met with Gov. Bobby Jin-dal on the idea, which is part of the area delegation’s 2011 legis-

GOP House:Cut Federal Budget Now

Ronald Reagan

Caucus LeadersUnveil Plan for$2.5 Trillion Cut

May I OfferA Few SmallSuggestions? America celebrated the 100th birthday of the late President Ron-ald Reagan on Feb. 6, 2011. His speeches are filled with advice for future generations. Here are a few of the famous quotes that are as timely today as when he said them:On the deficit We don’t have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven’t taxed enough. We have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much. Governments don’t reduce defi-cits by raising taxes on the people. Governments reduce deficits by controlling spending and stimulat-ing new wealth. Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets. Every dollar the Federal Gov-ernment does not take from us, ev-

During the celebration, it will offer special discounts and live music to celebrate the occasion.

Sister and brother DespoWomack and Tony Karides were born inMexicoCityofGreekde-scent. They immigrated to Texas whentheywereteenagers.In1960,the familymoved toBatonRougewhere Despo and Tony opened La Fonda a year later.

Originally located in a rented houseonAirlineHighway,theres-taurant moved to its current location in 1977. MaryVirginis,Womackand Karides’ older sister, joined the family business and with the help of their spouses and children, suc-cessfully operated the restaurant for the next three decades. In 1981, Tony Karides passed away, but with his sisters at the helm, La Fonda continued its tradition as ahistoricMexicanrestaurantinBa-tonRouge.Virginispassedawayin1999asdidWomackin2002. Nevertheless, with the support of their children and following gen-erations, along with staff who have been with the restaurant since its opening, this family-run business continues to serve four generations of loyal customers.

La Fonda is known for its au-thentic Mexican food and freshlysqueezed lime margaritas. The Advocate said LaFonda has “built a reputation for modestly-priced food served by a cordial wait staff in a family-friendly atmosphere.” Long-time customer Fred Zea-gler said, “I started going to La-Fonda’s in 1976. Many of myfriends ask why I go so often and I usually ask if they have ever seen Cheers, where everybody knows your name. The food is good, the margaritas are the best, and the at-mosphere is classic.” Mary Ann Bolger, La Fondaco-owner and daughter of founder

TonyKarides,said,“LaFondaRes-taurantofBatonRougeisproudtohave served the Central community for50years.Iamhonoredtocon-tinue the American dream of myfather and his sisters by providing family hospitality and sharing the delicious recipes they created years ago.Myfamilyfindsthelongevityof many of our employees and cus-tomersauniqueaspectofourbusi-ness.
