Orders West Feliciana Police Jurors to Follow the Will of the Voters, Sets Election date of October 19 for Parish PresidentJudge Carmichael Rules Against Police Jurors

Twentieth Judicial District Judge William G. Carmichael is-sued a stern rebuff to the West Fe-liciana Police Jury on Wednesday. He ruled that they cannot call an October 19 election on whether to repeal the home-rule charter ap-proved by voters last fall, but in-stead must move forward with an October 19 election to select a new Parish President. Qualifying for the post will be August 14-16.

Upon selection of the Par-ish President, the seven-member police jury will become a Parish Council, and Jurors will serve out their terms, then the home rule

charter calls for the council to have five members from 4 districts, with one elected at-large, serving under a Parish President.

On November 6, 2012 West Fe-liciana voters turned out in record numbers to vote for U.S. President and vote to change the antiquated Police Jury form of government for the parish into a more progressive home rule charter form of govern-ment with a Parish President pre-siding over a Parish council. The governmental change passed by a vote of over 53% to about 47%, a margin of 337 votes out of almost 5000 cast. The turnout was one of

the highest in West Feliciana his-tory.

“If I allowed this election to happen, a majority of the jury could continue to call a series of elections until the voters chose the position favored by the majority,” Carmichael said.

On July 2, recall petitions began circulating to oust District 1 Police Juror Lea Williams and District 5 Juror John Kean from office. Re-becca Hilliard and Amy Betts are leading the effort to oust Police Juror Lea Williams, while James Richard Wood and Ellen Kay Ken-non are spearheading the effort

against Kean.The West Feliciana Parish Reg-

istrar of Voters said Hilliard and Betts must obtain the signatures of one-third of the 1,127 registered voters in District 1, or 376, to force a recall election on Williams, while to successfully call a recall vote on Kean, Wood and Kennon need one-third of the district’s 1,083 regis-tered voters, or 362, to sign the pe-tition. The petition organizers have 180 days to gather the necessary signatures. Both recall groups held a meeting on July 11 at Heming-bough to gather signatures for their respective petitions.

PacTec’s GeoPac® is a geotextile tube used for dewater-ing in municipal wastewater plants, industrial pond dredging, agricultural waste dredg-ing, and marine/beach restoration. The GeoPac uses internal pressure to efficiently dewater large volumes, is made from high tenacity thread for seam strength, is dimen-sionally stable, and can be constructed with multiple fill ports.

“We manufacture a complete line of custom engineered packaging products for the nuclear waste, hazardous waste and transportation industries,” Mike Schilling, president and founder of PacTec told the Zachary Post/Feliciana Explorer. “Our product offering has grown steadily over the past 24 years as we have responded to the needs of our customers. With a wealth of accu-mulated industry knowledge on staff, our Clinton, Louisiana based company is an international leader in waste pack-aging design and manufacturing.

PacTec was founded in 1989 by Mike Schilling and Morris Mintz of Monroe, Louisiana. Schilling, a na-tive of Jackson, Louisiana graduated from UL-Monroe in 1980. Shortly af-ter graduation, he began his career in the environmental industry with Cecos International, a hazardous waste sub-sidiary of Browning Ferris Industries.

During his tenure there, he had the opportunity to gain an understand-ing of the management practices of waste from its generation to burial. The Resource Conservation and Re-covery Act (RCRA) was enacted in 1976 and created many opportuni-ties for entrepreneurs throughout the United States. RCRA is a record keep-ing system that tracks the life cycle of hazardous waste from cradle to grave and ensures that waste generators are good environmental stewards. These regulations were created and enforced by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. One particular por-tion of this regulation requires vehicles transporting hazardous waste to utilize a polymeric liner to contain potential leaks. This regulation was the driver of PacTec’s first product, the Trans-liner™, a patented disposable polyeth-ylene liner.

duced the first generation Transliner™ in a 2400 square foot facility in Clin-ton. As product sales began to grow, it caught the attention of the ownership of their raw material supplier. Morris Mintz, a principal of Sunbelt Plastics and John Jackson, the vice president of sales for Sunbelt visited the facility to observe the operation. Upon gaining an understanding of the manufactur-ing process and market opportunity, they offered to partner with the Schil-lings to expedite the growth. PacTec was formed in November of 1989 and manufacturing capacity and sales grew exponentially shortly after.

What began as a three employee or-ganization now includes sales offices in Clinton, Louisiana and Cumbria, Unit-ed Kingdom, five strategically placed distribution centers across the United States and state of the art manufactur-ing facilities in Clinton and Subic Bay Philippines totaling 206,000 square feet. These facilities employ more than 200 employees.

Much of PacTec’s success can be attributed to collaborative innovation. The majority of patented technology was initiated by an opportunity to solve customer’s problems. The sales force and product development engineers recognize the importance of asking the right questions and identifying oppor-tunities to solve problems. This philos-ophy, infused with creativity has gener-ated 10 United States patents and one patent in the United Kingdom. PacTec is very proud of its technology and rec-ognizes that continuous innovation in-creases opportunities for success. The

technical team responsible for product design, equipment engineering and process development has been vital to growth.

All of PacTec’s facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified and are commit-ted to improving quality management systems. Each manufactured prod-uct is underpinned by a Certification of Conformity (COC) providing full traceability of all materials used in manufactured products. PacTec also maintains a quality program compliant with The Quality Assurance Require-ments For Nuclear Facilities: NQA 1.

As the company has grown, the sales growth expectations have in-creased also. They expect to double the size of the organization in the next (4) years. Some of the growth is ex-pected to occur with the addition of a new product called GeoPac ™. The GeoPac ™ is a geotextile tube used to dewater industrial and sewer treat-ment sludge, minimizing the volume of materials to be handled or disposed of. Another market of notable oppor-tunity is natural gas production. The hydraulic fracturing process has creat-ed a need for several of PacTec’s con-tainment products. This market should grow as natural gas prices increase and exploration expands.

While continuing to focus on do-mestic opportunities, the company is also investing in emerging markets abroad. One opportunity, the disman-tling and decommissioning of 16 nu-clear weapons facilities has warranted establishing a presence in the United Kingdom. This process is expected to be ongoing through 2050 and presents many opportunities for our nuclear packaging products. PacTec EPS Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of PacTec,

was established in April of 2010. PacTec has spent the last few years gaining International Packaging Certi-fications meeting the requirements and demands of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) safety standards for packaging low level ra-dioactive waste during transit.

Another project of note is the Fuku-shima Daiichi nuclear disaster cleanup. PacTec has been actively providing technical support and product since November 2011. This project is ex-pected to take 40 years to remediate

while removing a projected 29 million cubic meters of soil and debris. The es-timated cost of the cleanup is $13 bil-lion.

Editor’s Note: PacTec is truly an amazing company and the worldwide leader in manufacturing environmen-tal containment products. And to be lo-cated in Clinton with no plans to move its operations is all the more amazing. Visit the PacTec website at www.pac-tecinc.com to view what this company is doing worldwide.

Holidays For CASA Mission Luncheon LaunchedFive churches and others got to-

gether to help the efforts of CASA in East Feliciana Parish. The Jackson United Methodist women spearheaded the Mission Luncheon on June 29th that was held at the Jackson UMC Social Hall. Each year the church picks a different mission project to donate the mon-ey collected at the luncheon. This year, CASA (Court Appointed Spe-cial Advocates), was the project that was chosen.

The goal was to raise $1,541. The reason for trying to raise that unusual amount of money is be-cause that is the amount needed to provide services for one child for one year at CAS. This includes: Re-cruitment, training and supervising of Court Appointed Special Advo-cates (CASA volunteers), Conduct expert forensic interviews, Oversee advocacy for all children, Provide counseling services, and Develop and deliver prevention education.

The theme for the luncheon was

Holidays for CASA. Each table was decorated to represent a differ-ent holiday. Our Lady of Perpetual Help decorated their table with an Easter theme, 2nd Baptist Church used Christmas, Norwood Baptist used Labor Day, 1st Baptist Church used Veteran’s Day, and Jackson United Methodist had Thanksgiv-ing, Happy Birthday, July 4th, Chi-nese New Year, Cinco de Mayo, Valentines, and Halloween.

The program started with Sandra Wilcox, President of the JUMW, welcoming everyone to the lun-cheon. Linda Courtney of JUMC gave an invocation and was fol-lowed by Destiny Adams of Greater Oak Grove Baptist Church lead-ing the Pledge to Allegiance. Beth Dawson of JUMC read a poem “In Whose Hands” and then she in-troduced Connie Stein who is the CASA Advocate Recruiter. Stein traveled from Hammond for the luncheon.

Stein told the group that CASA

serves as a powerful voice for abused and neglected children. These volunteers are appointed by a judge to advocate after hours of training, on a one-on-one basis, for children in need of care. They re-port to the judge and others on the child’s behalf with the goal to help them reach a safe and permanent home.

Vanessa Mendal of JUMC im-pressed the crowd with the beauti-ful song, “Shenandoah”, which she played on her violin.

Veronica London, CASA Su-pervisor for East and West Felici-ana, introduced all the CASA vol-unteers that were in the audience. They were Lelia DeGeneres, Debra Haynes, Robin Malveaux, and Beth Dawson. She told about the need for more CASA workers who give the children a voice, a sense of security and help with healing. London told the ladies how children desperately need the services of CASA.

Catherine Jacocks, past presi-

dent of UMW and facilitator of a Bible Study group at Jackson UMC, presented a devotional prose. The scriptural focus was First Corinthi-ans 12, the Body of Christ, as repre-sented by the interdenominational cooperation in the mission effort for children.

All 80 ladies that participated in the Mission Luncheon enjoyed following the program a delicious salad luncheon. While some helped their plates others were enjoying a silent auction and after the meal everyone checked and raised their bids. Becky Newsom, chairman of the silent auction, said that the auc-tion made about $850.00.

The ladies of all the churches that participated and others should be delighted to know that their goal of raising $1,541 for CASA was reached. Susan Vidrine, the trea-surer of UMW said that a total of $2, 451 was raised. The goal is to have more churches participate next year.

Father Gerard Siebold (pictured center), who lives in residence at the Rectory of St. John the Baptist in Zachary, celebrated his 60th year as a Redemptorist last week. Fa-ther Jerry is a retired Redemptorist priest. While he is no longer in active ministry with his religious order, he remains active! Father Jerry celebrates the full Catholic Mass monthly at Grace Nursing Home and Zachary Manor; Communion Service at Lane Regional; and Mass weekly at Oakwood Village Assisted Living Community. Father Jerry also makes emergency visits to Lane Regional Medical Center, administering Last Rites to those in need.

Do you know someone with extra time on their hands? The Lane Region-al Medical Center Volunteer Auxiliary is looking for new members to help pro-vide many services within the hospital.

Auxiliary Volunteers are asked to commit to just 2 - 4 hours per week to be considered an active member, and dues are only $4 per year.
