Superintendent Milton Engages StudentsOn behalf of the West Feliciana Parish School Board, Su-

pervisors, Administrators, Faculty and Staff, I would like to welcome everyone back to school!

As we approach the coming school year, I am reminded of something I read on the origin of the phrase gung ho. Origi-nally a Chinese phrase meaning work together, it was adopted as a training slogan by the U. S. Marines in 1942. In modern terms, we now use it to mean extremely enthusiastic.

The phrase gung ho encompasses how I feel about the com-ing school year. I am extremely enthusiastic about working with a group of dedicated professionals to empower a new generation of learners. I know our principals and teachers are excited to nurture our students’ academic and personal growth as well. Most importantly, though, is the idea that we will work together to accomplish our goals in the coming year.

Our district leaders, school leaders, and teachers began working last school year to prepare for the year ahead, and they continued their efforts over the summer to develop pow-erful and engaging curriculum tools. This will equip our stu-dents with the skills they need to be successful. Over the next year, we will work together to implement strategic initiatives in literacy and mathematics instruction in order to ensure success for all.

We have so much to be enthusiastic about:

Dear Community Partners,

East Feliciana is ready to embark on another year of achievement. Last year wasfilledwithnumerouseducationalvictoriesforourparish.Wewouldliketothank our administrators, teachers, and support workers for embracing the chal-lenge to meet the needs of our students. Their hard work resulted in our district beingranked2ndinthestateforstudentgrowthingrades3-8.

Ourcommunityisregainingitsconfidenceinthepublicschoolsystem.Wemustcontinue the momentum during the upcoming school year and produce the best educational opportunities for the children of our district. Our school board mem-bers understand the challenges and have continued to support the administra-tion’s recommendations for improvement. We encourage everyone to support our strategicplanwhichcontinuestoaddressthreemajorareas—academics,financeand the community. This model has proven to be successful in its early stages, but we must continue to make tough decisions for continued growth and improve-ment.

As we approach the full implementation of the Common Core State Standards, administrators, teacher leaders, and other district personnel have been working to revamp curriculum in order to address the rigor required. The new curriculum and instructional program is more rigorous for students, so we anticipate some challenging transitions during the first semester as students adjust to the newstandards and a rigorous curriculum. We will also continue working to secure the materials and technology required to successfully implement the new curriculum.

Our district’s focus on literacy will continue, and to assist with the transition to Common Core State Standards we need greater parental involvement and col-laboration with schools. I encourage parents to continue reading with their chil-drenandplacinganemphasisofreadingandwritinginthehome.ThefirstdayofschoolforstudentsisMonday,August12,2013.WelookforwardtoseeingallstudentsonthefirstdayofschoolaswecontinueCreatingLouisiana’sPremierSchool District…One Student at a Time!

Angola Prison Continues to be Economic Engine for FelicianasBy James Ronald skains

“We like to have visitors coming to Angola,’’ Warden Burl Cain, in an exclusive interview told the Feliciana Explorer. “Our weekend Rodeos in October and the one weekend in April draw a lot of people to St. Francisville. Motels fill up; restaurants and gas sta-tions are very busy during those week-ends. Some people complain about the traffic, but the amount of money coming into the town is significant.”

Louisiana State Penitentiary (LSP) currently employs 1,200 correctional officers and staff at Angola. The bud-get appropriated to operate Angola for the current year is $119 million, down from recent years of $135 million. Angola cultivates many acres of crops out of the total land base of 18,000 acres.

“Since opening our Penitentiary Museum in late 1998, our daily visi-tors have increased significantly,’’ Cain related. “We are the destination of a number of tour groups. Also, our prison ministry brings in a lot of peo-ple that pass through West Feliciana Parish that usually stop and contribute some money to the local economy.”

“We have several outside Prison Ministries that visit Angola on a regu-lar basis several times a month. We like very much for these groups to come back for visits. In 1995, the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOTBS) established a school at An-gola. This program has been more suc-cessful in bringing peace and harmony to Angola than we ever dreamed pos-sible. The Seminary has trained nu-merous inmate preachers.”

“I like to see inmate preachers in the pulpit because they can relate to the other inmates like nobody else. Out of the 5,200 inmates, I would estimate that 2,000 inmates have be-come born again believers in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ since arriv-ing at Angola. It is truly a shame that young men have to come to prison to be taught the difference between im-morality and morality,’’ Warden Cain explained.

“Everyone should learn the differ-ence between immorality and morality at an early age from their parents. That is where I learned the difference and that I was going to be held accountable for my actions. That is what we try and teach, among other things here at

Angola, is the difference between im-morality and morality, that people are held accountable for their actions and that it is better to give than to take.’’

Education is a primary focus of LSP’s rehabilitative efforts. All of-fenders, regardless of custody status, are offered the opportunity to partici-pate in the STEP (Steps Toward Edu-cational Progress) Program. Offend-ers who achieve acceptable levels in the STEP Program are then eligible for participation in Adult Basic Education and GED Program. Other educational programs offered include the on-site vocational school, a school funded by the Louisiana Technical College, which provides instruction in horti-culture, welding, culinary arts, auto

mechanics, body and fender repair, carpentry, graphic arts, and instruction in golf course construction and main-tenance.

“We currently have seven chapels at Angola and are in the process of building another. Our chapels usually have inmate congregations of about 200 each. I tell the inmates that the Chapels are an island of freedom. In-side the Chapels, the focus is on God and the spiritual way of life and the inmates are free to worship as they see fit. However, when they step out of the Chapel, they are once again an inmate, subject to all the rules and regulations of the prison system. They also know very clearly that rights can be taken away from them for miss-behavior.”

The NOBTS offers an Associate in Christian Ministry degree and a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Minis-try degree. NOBTS gives credit for a one-year certification program that is taught by LSP offender graduates under the supervision of the Center Director. The NOTBS has given of-fenders a chance to educate them-selves and grow spiritually. This pro-gram has promoted and restored hope to all areas of the prison, as graduates encourage fellow offenders to enroll.

“We also have a number of movies and documentaries filmed at Angola. There have been numerous books written about Angola and specific in-mates. All this kind of activity brings people to West Feliciana Parish,’’ Warden Cain pointed out. “Our Loui-

siana Justice Hall of Fame, located in our Museum, also brings in a steady flow of traffic. I think the Hall of Fame helps spotlight some of the things that we do right here at Angola. We can’t get too many visitors here at Angola.’’

Rather than a typical, walled pris-on, LSP has six fenced housing areas with the remaining acreage devoted to farming. The majority of offenders work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in the farming operations. The primary crops grown for sale by Prison Enter-prises are corn, soybeans, and corn. Approximately 1 million pounds of vegetables, tomatoes, cabbage, okra, watermelon, strawberries, onions, beans and peppers are processed an-nually at LSP. Also, the prison system maintains a beef herd of 1,500 and a horse population of approximately 250 that are used in daily farming op-erations.

Although Angola has progressed from a violent unruly prison to a model prison of rehabilitation, peace and har-mony of the prison for the most part, and an efficiently run system, Warden Cain has come under intense national scrutiny and criticism for exposing the

prison population to the Christian way of life.

“All inmates have a choice of which direction they want to go in their life here at Angola. They can forego any and all Christian education and other activities if they so choose. But once inmates see the difference that Christ has made in the lives of other inmates, they want to experience that hope and enjoyment of the Christian way of life which can be attained in any setting, including a prison,’’ Warden Cain con-cluded.

Writer’s note: 18 years ago, prison experts considered Louisiana’s Angola Prison as the very worst prison system in America. It also gobbled up huge amounts of taxpayer money each year. Then along came a youthful 50 year old Burl Cain, armed not with a lot of degrees or expensive studies on how to make a prison system work better; but with a simple rule book written some 2,000 years ago but much maligned today. With this simple rulebook and a Christian attitude, Cain’s Angola has become the “showcase prison” in America for prisoner rehabilitation, a guidebook for efficient use of taxpay-er money and for its large practicing Christian inmate community.

Lane Foundation Announces Capital CampaignThe Lane Regional Medical Cen-

ter Foundation has announced its goal to raise $500,000 - $1 million for its Cancer Services capital cam-paign.

More than $300,000 already has been donated or pledged to support Lane Foundation’s project, a $4.5 million Radiation Oncology Center. Lane Regional has partnered with Baton Rouge General and radiation oncologists William Russell, MD and Andrew Lauve, MD to open the state-of-the-art Center on Lane’s campus in January 2014.

Lane’s commitment to the project is $1 million which will go towards purchasing a new Linear Accelera-tor and providing cancer treatment services. The Linear Accelerator uses external beam radiation to treat all parts and organs of the body by

delivering high-energy x-rays to the patient’s tumor, pinpointed to de-stroy the cancer cells while sparing

surrounding normal tissue. The campaign, guided by a new-

ly formed Development Board of volunteers and local leaders, has re-ceived tremendous community sup-port with more than 300 individuals, businesses and organizations mak-ing donations and pledges in the first few months.

“People throughout the region are contributing to the campaign because they see the impact the Ra-diation Oncology Center will have on the community,” says LaneRMC Foundation Director Theresa Pay-ment. “Those battling cancer will no longer have to travel elsewhere to receive life-saving treatment and being able to stay close to home will make things much easier for them and their loved ones.”

Internal support for the proj-

ect has been especially impressive with more than $150,000 donated or pledged by Lane employees and auxiliary members.

“We are pleased to see such a generous outpouring of support coming from our staff members and volunteers, as well as from so many individuals, families and business-es.” said Randy Olson, Lane CEO. “This is a long-term investment the communities we serve will benefit from for generations to come.”

For additional information about the Radiation Oncology Center, or to make a donation to the LaneRMC Foundation’s Cancer Services cam-paign, please contact Theresa Pay-ment at (225)658-6699, tpayment@lanermc.org or visit LaneRMC-Foundation.org
