The Vernon Parish Police Jury unanimously voted on Aug. 10 to adopt a resolution establishing a temporary moratorium on the development, establishment and construction of solar farms in unincorporated areas of Vernon Parish. The special meeting was called by District 5 Police Juror Cody Hostetler. Following the special call meeting, the police jury held its regularly scheduled Committee Meeting.

Several residents from the Pitkin and LaCamp areas spoke to the police jury about concerns regarding a proposed 10,000-acre solar farm project in the Hineston area of Rapides Parish and the Pitkin/LaCamp area of Vernon Parish. The proposed project is being developed by Treaty Oak Clean Energy of Austin, Texas. The project includes approximately 4,600 acres of solar array and a substation in Phase 1, approximately 5,700 acres of solar array in Phase 2 and a nine-mile generation interconnect aerial utility line in Phase 3.

Residents asked the police jury to reevaluate the current ordinance.

Nancy Whitlock, a nearby multigenerational property owner, presented a PowerPoint presentation featuring multiple articles about endangered species reported to live near the proposed solar farm area. The articles were written in concern for the species following hurricane damage to the same forested area now proposed for the solar farm. Whitlock expressed concerns about eagles known to frequent the area, as well as pine snakes, bears and other species. She also expressed concerns about industrial fires associated with solar farms. Whitlock said most nearby fire departments are volunteer-only and may not be prepared for an industrial fire. The potential erosion from removing 10,000 acres of forested land and its effect on her farm was also a concern.

Stacy Merchant, a nearby homeowner, expressed concerns about noise and light pollution, decreased property values and possible harm to his cattle.

Julie Richmond Sauer of Pitkin expressed concerns about habitat loss from clearing Tier 1 property described as “rare and highly valued” undeveloped property, referencing comments by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries General Counsel Cole Garrett during an archived Louisiana House of Natural Resources presentation from April 23, 2025.

Concerns were also raised about providing a payment in lieu of taxes, or PILOT, to an out-of-state company with little to no full-time jobs associated with the project for local residents. A copy of a devaluation study titled “Solar Farm’s and Property Value Reduction,” by Dr. Greg Upton and Dr. Sarang Talpur, dated October 2024, was also provided to the police jury.

Other topics discussed included wildlife corridors, vegetative buffers and decommissioning bonds. Residents requested that decommissioning bonds be assessed every three years rather than under the current five-year schedule.

Rep. Rodney Schamerhorn discussed a situation involving clearing his personal property in which state department personnel inspected the property to ensure it was safe for wildlife. He also clarified some of the state laws associated with solar farms. Residents said they had observed no similar physical assessments on their side of the proposed 10,000-acre site of undeveloped, forested property.

Many residents near the proposed industrial site attended the meeting and supported the temporary moratorium.

An article published in the Rapides Parish Journal on July 20, 2026 shared some of the following information in regards to the proposed solar project:

The proposed solar project is being developed by Treaty Oak Clean Energy of Austin, Texas, and would cover approximately 10,000 acres in the Calcasieu River watershed south and west of Hineston. The project includes approximately 4,600 acres of solar array and a substation in Phase 1, approximately 5,700 acres of solar array in Phase 2 and a nine-mile generation interconnect aerial utility line in Phase 3.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District previously stated that its preliminary study found no impact on jurisdictional wetlands and minimum impact on the Louisiana pine snake and Northern long-eared bat. A Clean Water Act permit is required because of impacts to waters associated with the Calcasieu River watershed.

We have reached the six-week mark after heart surgery and things are slowly getting back to normal, or close to what normal used to be. Once you’ve gone through open heart surgery, life is never the same. There are still many challenges I’m looking to conquer, and some will only be conquered with time. 

The physical challenges were tough, especially right after surgery, with all the tubes hanging out of my chest and just trying to find the right position to be comfortable. But once those tubes were taken out two days after surgery, I was a new man as it was such a stress relief to have those removed. 

One pleasant surprise has been the lack of pain. Every person I talked with who had been through open heart surgery said the leg where they take the vein out would be painful and hurt a lot. Well, not for me. I have not had the first ounce of pain from day one. While the chest has been sore, no pain there either! Just a lot of discomfort, especially when trying to lie down. 

Now don’t kid yourself, a slight cough or sneeze can send you to a place of pain that will remind you of some form of torture. The best relief for this is to squeeze the heart-shaped pillow they issue after surgery, as it truly becomes your best friend. 

But even more difficult for me have been the mental challenges that come with this type of surgery. My body has gone through a complete transformation with a weight loss of 30 pounds while trying to adapt itself to all the new changes and medicines. 

Anxiety was extremely high after returning home, not having nurses checking your vitals every hour of the day and night. When they say the mind is a very powerful thing, it’s true, as your mind tends to race and wonder 24/7. Emotions run high and rampant as one minute you’re crying and the next you’re so happy you’ve survived.

Trying to sleep at night has been my biggest challenge as I’ve truly been afraid I would stop breathing if I fell asleep. Taking a nap was a major challenge even though I knew and understood that my heart was as good as new. I had trouble trusting myself and the work I had done on me. 

Next is the adjustment to the medications … and I mean lots of medications. I think this also plays a huge role in your mental stability as it’s just another thing your body must adapt to. 

Now that we are at the six-week mark post-surgery, things are getting much better daily. The anxiety issues have slowly faded away especially since I have a low dosage of medication for that. 

But sleeping at night continues to be an issue as I tend to wake up every night at 3:00. Some nights, I’ll eventually go back to sleep and other times I’ll turn on the TV and just lay there hoping to fall back asleep.

This is very frustrating as I end up taking a long nap during the day just to regain energy. Food is still the enemy for me as nothing tastes like it’s supposed to. Soups seems to be the one thing I tend to like over anything else. 

Presently, I continue to try solid food, even the things I really enjoyed before the surgery. Slowly the appetite is returning, and things are starting to taste better even though I’m on a low sodium diet. 

One thing I have taken a liking to … chocolate protein drinks! These are really good and tend to make me feel full. Lately, I’ve been drinking one of these at some point during the day. Before I do my morning walk, I’ve learned that it helps to have some form of solid food for breakfast as it really helps my energy level. 

Again, while things are getting better and I continue to gain more strength, getting back into a routine has been very important in my metal state of mind. Hopefully this week my doctor will give me the OK to start driving again and regain some of my independence. My wife, Sherrie, has been an excellent chauffeur!  

Here’s some food for thought. Not too long ago, I wrote an article about how we all need a purpose in life. Well, it’s during times like this when having a purpose is more important than ever as it helps to occupy the mind. Hopefully soon, things will get back to what I used to call normal.

Cyclospora cases are continuing to increase in Louisiana, and the Louisiana Department of Health has launched a public dashboard showing cases by parish. Sabine, Avoyelles, Caddo, Sabine, Vernon, Rapides Parishes each have between 1-4 cases reported.

As of Aug. 5, Louisiana has reported 125 cases of cyclosporiasis. Six individuals have been hospitalized, and East Baton Rouge and Lafayette parishes currently report the highest number of cases.

The illness is often linked to contaminated fresh produce that is consumed raw, including leafy greens, herbs, berries, and other fruits and vegetables.

Symptoms typically appear about one week after exposure. Individuals are encouraged to seek medical attention if they experience:

• Severe diarrhea lasting more than 3 days
• Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness, decreased urination)
• High fever
• Persistent vomiting

Young children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems may be at greater risk for severe illness.

While there is no way to completely eliminate the risk, the following food safety practices can help reduce the chances of becoming ill:

• For produce that can be cooked, cooking to 158°F (70°C) or higher provides the greatest protection.
• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling fresh produce.
• Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking.
• Scrub firm produce such as melons and cucumbers with a clean produce brush.
• Remove damaged or bruised areas from fruits and vegetables.
• Clean and sanitize cutting boards, knives, countertops, and other food-contact surfaces.
• Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables within two hours.
• Stay hydrated and contact a healthcare provider if experiencing persistent diarrhea or other symptoms.

This article is well used and true. I hope I express gratitude to those who teach, especially children like I was.

I was an underachieving little hellion.

In the Baptist church, they practically drew lots to see who’d be stuck with me in Sunday school. I was the kid teachers prayed would be absent — and when I was present, they prayed harder. A lesson on the Hebrews wandering in the wilderness could, under my creative influence, end with a John Wayne shootout at high noon with the Philistines. More than one Baptist teacher quit and joined the Methodists for the sake of their sanity.

Elementary school wasn’t much different. Recess was the only part that made sense: there was a ball, you kicked the ball, and then you ran. That was education at its finest. The only reason to go back inside was Cindy Stinson sitting on the second row. All the boys loved Cindy. On Valentine’s Day she received real cards and real candy — the kind that didn’t come from the drugstore clearance bin. Naturally, we all tried to impress her. Some boys used charm. I used classroom destruction. Standing in the corner meant standing closer to Cindy, and I became an expert at slapping chalkboard erasers together like a man auditioning for janitorial percussion.

My report cards were a cry for help. My teachers were frustrated. My mother was frustrated. The school janitor was probably frustrated. I was not inspired by the academic process — unless the academic process involved recess or Cindy Stinson.

Then came fourth grade.

My teacher was Mrs. Sarah Napps, a legend whose career stretched back to the 1930s. She had taught my uncle, my mother, and half the county. She was also my mother’s piano teacher, which meant she had already survived one generation of my family. For reasons I still can’t fully explain, I took a shine to her. Maybe it was her grandmotherly demeanor. Maybe it was the mythical tales of her teaching prowess. Maybe she simply had the courage of a woman who had seen everything and feared nothing.

One afternoon, during a parentteacher conference, she invited me into the room. She looked at me — not through me, not past me — and said, “You are a smart young man. I think you can do much better in school. I expect you to do much better. You’ve made progress, and I’m proud of you. But I want you to work harder, and I know your grades will improve.”

I don’t remember anything else from that meeting. All I heard was: She believes in me.

And that changed everything. Not overnight — I didn’t suddenly become a scholarly saint — but the ship began to turn. The boy who weaponized chalkboard erasers discovered the rudiments of selfcontrol. The child who terrorized Sunday school found a teacher who saw potential instead of problems.

School has begun again for many students. I’m praying for our teachers — especially the ones who must deal with “that child.” I pray they have patience, wisdom, and the courage to place high expectations on their students. Children rise to — or sink to — the expectations set by the significant people in their lives.

My life was changed by a teacher.

And maybe that’s why the stories I love best about Jesus begin with one simple word:

“Teacher”

On Aug. 12, 1851, Isaac Merritt Singer was granted a U.S. patent for improvements to the sewing machine, marking an important moment in the development of an invention that would change how clothing and other goods were made.

Singer was not the first person to invent a sewing machine. However, his improvements helped create a machine that was practical and commercially viable for home use. His patented machine used a straight, vertically moving needle and a reciprocating shuttle to create a lockstitch.

Singer’s patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,294, was issued on Aug. 12, 1851. The machine incorporated several improvements, including a mechanism to help tighten the stitch and changes to how thread was controlled and supplied.

The development of the sewing machine had an impact far beyond the workshop. Singer’s company helped turn the sewing machine into a consumer product, making it increasingly accessible to families. The company also offered installment payment plans, encouraging more households to purchase machines.

Today, sewing machines are commonplace, but on Aug. 12, 1851, a patent helped advance a technology that would eventually bring mechanical sewing into homes across the country.

Kerrie grew up as an only child on a farm in Benoni near Johannesburg, South Africa.  She said that “violence and turmoil was…everyday life” in Johannesburg.  There were riots in the streets because of apartheid.  Her home life was often filled with violence and turmoil as well.  Kerrie’s father, Charles, was an alcoholic to the degree that he built his own elaborate bar in the family home.  It was there that he spent most of his time.  When his drinking got the better of him, Charles would go missing for days and sometimes weeks at a time.  When he eventually returned, he and Kerrie’s mother, Gerda, engaged in what Kerrie called “verbal abuse” against each other.  Charles would throw lamps, furniture, and whatever else was close at hand, but never physically abused Kerrie or her mother.  After the fights, Charles and Gerda would not speak to each other for weeks.  The silence tortured Kerrie.  She was even too afraid to say good morning to her parents.  Kerrie thought Charles being verbally abusive toward her and her mother was normal.  Gerda had installed lockable steel doors in each room of the house except for Kerrie’s just so they could escape if necessary.  At the time in South Africa, divorce was not culturally accepted.  

Tension within the family continued to grow.  When Kerrie was around 13 years old, her mother sent her to a boarding school to get her out of the house.  When school was not in session, Kerrie’s mother took her to the movies to get her away from home.  On June 21, 1991, when Kerrie was 15 years old, she and her mother went to a movie to escape.  They returned to find that Charles had left and had locked the outer steel door on their house.  Without her door key, Gerda and Kerrie located Charles at his brother’s house.  Charles and his brother were both intoxicated.  Kerrie was in dire need of a bathroom and ran through her uncle’s house without speaking.  To Charles, Kerrie had disrespected her elders.  Kerrie said that “this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”  After a heated argument, Gerda and Kerrie returned home.  Within minutes Charles and his brother arrived at the home.  Kerrie ran to her room and turned off the light in hopes that her father would think she was asleep.  Kerrie’s mother quickly locked all the steel doors in the house to keep Charles away from them.  One by one, Charles fired a pistol through the steel doors and made his way to Gerda and Kerrie.  Charles was going to kill them both.  Gerda retrieved a pistol from their gun safe and ran into Kerrie’s bedroom.  They used their bodies to push against the steel door.  When Charles was unable to force the door open, he began firing his pistol at the door.  Charles’s drunken brother encouraged him to continue.  Somehow all the bullets missed Kerrie and her mother.  When Charles ran out of bullets, he yelled that he was going to get his shotgun from the safe and walked away from the door.  Kerrie’s mother opened the door and fired a single shot down their hallway.  The bullet ricocheted and struck Charles’s brother in the hand.  Gerda ran toward the room where the gun safe was kept and Kerrie followed.  As Charles was opening the gun safe, Gerda fired her pistol.  That fatal shot forever ended the family turmoil and saved hers and Kerrie’s lives.  Investigators concluded that Gerda had acted in self-defense.    

Kerrie left South Africa in search of a better life and she found it.  She became one of the world’s highest-paid actresses.  In 2004, Kerrie became the first South African to win an Oscar for Best Actress.  She won the Academy Award for her portrayal of a serial killer in the film Monster.  Kerrie was the childhood nickname of actress Charlize Theron.
