Death officially ruled as homicide
MICHELLE BATES, Editor
The
death of a Homer man has officially been ruled a homicide.
According
to Louisiana State Police Detective Michael Allen, the death of Charles Ray
Kelly, 52, of Homer, is now officially being investigated as a murder. Dr.
Frank Peretti, forensic pathologist in Little Rock, Ark., officially ruled the
case as a homicide. State Police detectives are expected to travel to Little Rock next week to meet with Peretti.
Autopsy
results are not being released at this time due to the ongoing investigation.
Kelly
was found dead on Saturday, August 9, in the 600 block of East College Street
in Homer. When authorities arrived on scene, they found Kelly non-responsive
and not breathing. He was found near the fence and sidewalk area at the
residence. Evidence was collected and photographed at the scene.
As
Homer Police and the Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Department began their
investigation, the State Police were called in to assist.
According
to Homer Police Chief Russell Mills, Kelly’s murder is the first in eight
years.
Detectives
are receiving some credible leads in the case, but they still need the help of
the public to solve it.
“Anybody
with any knowledge is urged to come forward,” Mills said, “to bring the person
or persons responsible for his death to justice.”
If
anyone has any information, citizens are asked to contact Captain Donald Malray
at the Homer Police Department at 927-4000, Deputy Ben Booth at the Claiborne
Parish Sheriff’s Office at 927-2011 or 927-9800, or call Detective Allen at
862-9728 or 862-9955.
$10,000 bond set for theft of tools
The Guardian-Journal
A Homer
man has been arrested for theft over $500 again.
Kevin
D. Boyd, 31, was arrested Thursday, August 21, and charged with theft over
$500. Bond was set at $10,000.
On that
day, the Homer Police Department was contacted by a complainant who indicated
that Boyd was captured on surveillance video. Homer Police Chief Russell Mills
and Officer J.D. Faulker observed it to be Boyd on the video. Faulkner then
obtained a warrant for his arrest on the above charges.
Boyd is
accused of stealing carpentry tools in which he sold to another person.
While
en route to the police station, the suspect’s mother informed police Boyd
jumped out of the car and fled on foot. Mills and Faulkner then observed him
within the 800 block of Pearl Street, where he was captured and arrested. He
was then transported to the police station.
According
to Mills, Boyd at first denied any involvement in the theft, but later admitted
to it after viewing the video. Interviewed by Captain Donald Malray, he then
advised officers as to whom he’d sold the tools to. Once that person was
contacted by police, he turned in the tools.
According
to police records, this is not the first time Boyd has been charged with theft.
In fact, their records show he’s been charged with theft 17 times since 1995.
Also since that time, Boyd has faced three charges of possession of drug
paraphernalia, one charge of second degree battery and two times of resisting
an officer.
In an
unrelated case, Lester Harper Jr., 21, of Homer, was arrested Saturday, August
23, for possession of marijuana.
Homer
Police responded to a call of shots fired on Monroe Street, where Harper was
observed in the area. He was questioned by Officer Van McDaniel and patted down
for officer’s safety, according to Mills. While conducting the pat down, a
small baggie containing what was believed to be marijuana was discovered.
He was
arrested on the above charge and transported to the Claiborne Parish Detention Center. Bond was set at $500.
In
another incident, Starsky Willis, of Homer, was arrested on Saturday, August
23, on several charges after fleeing from police. McDaniel attempted a traffic
stop in which Willis failed to stop. He then stopped his vehicle and fled on
foot. Once captured by McDaniel, he was arrested and charged with several
charges. A search of the subject’s vehicle revealed a pill, which was
determined to be a Schedule III narcotic.
Willis
was charged with resisting an officer, bond set at $500; open container, bond
set at $500; driving under suspension, $500; and possession of a Schedule III
Controlled Dangerous Substance (CDS), with bond set at $5,000.
Mobile home a total loss

This is what is left of a mobile home
after it was consumed by fire. Claiborne Parish Fire District 4 responded to
the call at approximately 3:45 p.m. Monday, in reference to the fire on John
Pixley Road, off Hwy. 146 -- White Lightning Road. The cause of the fire is
listed as undetermined and is still under investigation. It took firefighters
approximately 30 to 45 minutes to extinguish the blaze. No injuries were
reported, and no occupants were inside at the time of the fire.
AT&T, FCC launch investigation
MICHELLE BATES, Editor
Since
the loss of emergency services in Haynesville a couple of weeks ago, officials
are investigating the cause of that loss and prevention.
That’s
according to Claiborne Parish 911 Director Scott Greeson. Although AT&T and
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have both launched an investigation
into the incident that left thousands in Haynesville without communications, no
official word has come through about what will be done to prevent such an
occurrence again.
On
Thursday, August 14, a fiber optic cable was cut in the Haynesville area,
severing communications for all emergency services. Internet and cell phone use
were also down. It was late Friday evening before those communications were
restored. At that time, all emergency calls were going through the Haynesville
Police Department.
So what
can be done in the future to prevent such a devastating incident from occurring
again? Well, no one really knows yet.
According
to a copy of an email obtained by The Guardian-Journal, AT&T would usually
send a technician with a cell phone to help field emergency calls. In this
case, even wireless was down. In other words, there was no contingency plan if
everything went down.
According
to the email, the phone service provider is documenting a process for their
technicians to reroute emergency calls without outside assistance, so that if
or when this ever happens again, those on a single cable route will not be
without communications. Also, they are looking at budgeting additional lines
for Haynesville and other single cable fed sites.
“We’re
trying to get the FCC to send a copy of their investigation,” Greeson said.
“We’re just waiting on them and AT&T to give us official results.”
The FCC
has not given him any official word regarding the investigation, but he expects
to hear something within the next few weeks.
Lisbon area loses power
JENNI WILLIAMS, The Guardian-Journal
Residents
of Lisbon suffered a power outage on the first day back at school, Thursday,
August 21.
At
approximately 6:40 p.m. power was lost due to a large A-Mine unit that snagged
on a power line. The unit was being trucked from Debert, south of Ruston, to western Oklahoma.
An
A-Mine unit is a machine used in the oilfield to take CO2 (carbon dioxide) out
of natural gas.
At 17
feet tall, the very top of the unit caught on the lowest line and snapped the
pole in half, causing it to fly across the road. It landed in the eastbound
lane between the Lisbon corporate limit and Bernice, just before the old gas
plant. Luckily, it didn’t slam into the side of the big rig.
A pilot
truck with Superior Trucking Service of Sayre, OK., was leading the unit to its
new location in western Oklahoma.
The
driver of the pilot truck, Mike Fidler, stated, “I made it through with my high
pole and even backed up and went through a second time to insure that the unit
would make it through. I guess it just caught on a low spot.
“We
have had to go around approximately 15 other lines between here [Lisbon] and Ruston,” he continued. “And I’m sure there will be plenty more.”
Andy
Roberts, a Lisbon resident with Entergy, was on the scene within minutes. After
calling in the specifics and ordering a new 40 foot pole, he grounded the rest
of the lines to keep from causing any accidental injuries.
“That
unit would never have made it under anything we have,” Roberts said.
Claiborne
Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Brazzel was dispatched to the scene to help with
traffic.
The
power was restored at approximately 9:45 p.m. that same night after Entergy
replaced the snapped pole.
No
injuries were reported.
Traffic stop nets drug bust
The Guardian-Journal
A
Magnolia, Ark., man was stopped for a traffic violation, but ended up going to
jail for possession.
On
Sunday, August 24, Brad A. Carter, 24, was arrested on several charges that
included DWI, first offense, bond set at $750; possession with intent to
distribute legend drugs without a prescription, bond set at $5,000; improper
lane usage, bond set at $500; open container, bond set at $500; and tail lamps
required, bond set at $500.
Claiborne
Parish Deputy Darren Keel stopped his vehicle for improper lane usage. Upon
making contact with Carter, Keel noted symptoms of impairment and Deputy Matt
Harris arrived on scene to assist.
Carter
was found to be driving while intoxicated. A vehicle inventory search pursuant
to arrest was performed and deputies discovered opened bottles of alcoholic
beverage as well as a pill bottle containing one Skelaxin tablet, two Flexeril
tablets and one Ativan tablet.
Upon
arrest, Carter was transported to the Claiborne Parish Detention Center on the above charges.
Authorities seek information in Corney Lake vandalism case
Submitted photo
This photo shows some of the damage done
to a trash can at the Corney Lake parking lot and boat landing.
MICHELLE BATES, Editor
Area
law enforcement are looking for any information or leads on the suspect or
suspects who vandalized the Corney Lake parking lot and boat landing.
According
to information received from the Claiborne Parish Police Jury, the trash cans
were shot up and the parking lot was torn up. It was discovered approximately
August 11. “We need the public to help us find who did this,” said District
Ranger Alvin Womack of the United States Forest Service.
According
to investigators with the Forest Service, the trash cans and restroom
facilities were shot up with a high-powered rifle. Because the restroom
facilities are made of stone, the bullets did not penetrate the building, but
it is evident that someone fired at it. Womack also said signs were taken up
and burned as well.
According
to Cory Gordon, law enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service, there
were three different instances between April and August where these grounds
were vandalized.
At this
time, Gordon said, there are no leads into who might have done this.
There
have been problems with vandalism in that area for years, but the Claiborne
Parish Police Jury has spent much time and money to make it a viable and
beautiful recreation area for the public. Dwayne Woodard, the police jury
secretary/treasurer, said it is this kind of activity that makes it difficult
for people to support beautification projects such as this.
“We got
the grant for Lisbon Landing,” Woodard said, “and stuff like this makes it
harder for public entities to agree to chase the grant dollars to get this
stuff done.”
According
to information received from police jury records, the approximate cost to
renovate the recreation area at Corney Lake was $12,800. That included
construction of the parking lot and boat landing. Approximately $1,360 was
spent on materials, $8,000 for equipment costs and $3,500 in labor costs. This
project was a joint effort between the U.S. Forest Service and the police jury.
“We’ve
done so much up there trying to make the place look better,” Womack said.
Again,
any information that can be provided to help authorities catch the person or
persons who vandalized Corney Lake’s parking lot and boat landing is
appreciated. Gordon is asking that citizens keep their eyes open and report any
suspicious activity.
“Many
of the people who do things like this will talk about it at some point,” Gordon
said. “They’ll tell somebody.”
Please
call Gordon or Womack at the forest service at 927-2061, or the Claiborne
Parish Sheriff’s Office at 927-2011. Please remember, no names have to be
provided, just information.
Homer Pelicans season looks promising
MICHELLE BATES, Editor
The
Homer Pelicans are gearing up for a season that looks promising.
With
several players returning this year as seniors, experience is on their side as
they look forward to Friday night football.
“We
have a big senior class this year, and we have a lot of experience back,” said
Pelican Head Coach Glen Kyle. “We’re looking forward to having that to help us
win games this year.”
Another
plus is the Pelicans will have 22 different players this year, which means the
team will have fresh players to start.
This
year’s team looks to be promising as Ted Willis and Delario Jones, both
seniors, return as linebackers. Bryan Grant also returns on the defensive line
for them. One player, weighing in at more than 300 pounds, is defensive lineman
Steveondrick Willis. At 5 foot 11 inches, Kyle said he is a strong kid and very
hard to block. Dennis Williams will also get a lot of time on both sides of the
ball, and he’s done well in the defensive backfield.
The
offensive line will be led by quarterback Jarvis Morgan, a sophomore. The
Crumpler brothers, Colton and Clinton, are returning this year as well. Tony
Casey will also get the majority of the carries at tailback, Kyle said.
Some of
the newer players bring strengths to the team as well, making some impressions
on the coach. Willis is a returning player, but this is the first year he will
start for Homer.
“He’s
worked really hard all summer long,” Kyle said. “He’s been real impressive.”
JaQueze
Holyfield, first year player, will also get a lot of time in the defensive
backfield and wide receiver.
So, how
does this add up? It makes for some real competition against the Haynesville
Golden Tornado, although Haynesville will be much improved this year, Kyle
said.
“We’re
looking forward to it,” he said. “It ought to be a competitive game.”
This
year’s roster includes several upperclassmen.
They
are: Jarmarcion Hardwell, tight end and linebacker; Dennis Williams, halfback
and strong safety; Antonio Casey, tailback and safety; Jarvis Morgan, quarterback;
Ardarius Wilson, wide receiver; Shawn Hardy, wide receiver; Jeroderick Jones,
wide receiver; Cosmos Oyara, tight end; Jerstevious Harris, defensive back;

Haynesville Golden Tornado gear up for
season
JENNI WILLIAMS, The Guardian-Journal
As the Haynesville High School Golden Tornados 2008-09 team gear up for the coming season, Head
Coach David Franklin looks forward to the team’s first game of the season. The
first game will be held on August 29 in Springhill at the annual Pineland
Jamboree against the Minden High School Crimson Tide.
Other
teams featured in the jamboree are Springhill High School and Homer High School.
With 41
team members, 12 of which are seniors, Franklin and the team hope to have
another winning season. The
Golden
Tornados finished the 2007-08 season with a winning record of eight wins and
just four losses. The team lost just five seniors last year so they won’t have
a lot of positions to rework.
When
asked what kind of season he thought the Tornados would have this year, Franklin replied, “I don’t predict, and you can quote me on that. I don’t predict!”
The
most anticipated game of the regular season, to be held on September 19 will,
of course, feature the Tornados hosting the Homer Pelicans. After a
disappointing loss to Homer last year, Franklin remembers, “They [Homer] just
had a really good team last year. We didn’t do as good as we had hoped.”
Franklin,
who has followed in his father’s [Red Franklin] infamous footsteps as a
football coach, has been a coach at Haynesville High School for more than 15
years. Seven of those years have been spent as the head coach.
The
tornados have a tough, 10-game season ahead of them. The team will host
Magnolia on September 12, Homer on September 19, Logansport on October 17 and
Sarepta on October 31. They will travel to Springhill on September 5,
Farmerville on September 26, North DeSoto on October 3, Ringgold on October 17
and Plain Dealing on November 7. The October 10th date is still currently open.
The
team consists of three freshmen, 10 sophomores, 16 juniors and 12 seniors.
The
Tornado team is as follows: Jamarcea West, junior, split end andsafety; Ronnie
Fields, junior, wideback and center; Dawayvon Hardwell, sophomore, split end

Homer native Kevin Michael touts many
golf accomplishments
JIMMY DEAN, Feature Writer
It’s no
secret to natives of Claiborne Parish that we have had more than our share of
local boys and local girls who grew up here, then went off and made their marks
on the world. Distinguished Claiborne Parish alumni include Karl Malone and Dr.
James Andrews as well as other doctors, teachers, athletes, musicians,
centenarians, and such notables. Another Homer native is now reflecting
favorably on his Claiborne Parish roots.
Kevin
Michael was recently featured in a front-page story of the Port Aransas South
Jetty. Kevin’s lifelong love of golf has taken him about 30 miles east of Corpus Christi to beautiful Mustang Island. Son of Joe and Margie Michael of Homer, Kevin
has been named general manager of Newport Dunes Golf Club, an Arnold Palmer
Signature links-style golf course.
Throughout
his course as a student at Louisiana Tech, Kevin maintained his love for golf,
even winning a place on the All-Conference Team. After earning his MBA at
Tech, he went into accounting. Kevin’s passion for the game ultimately led to
his becoming comptroller for a golf club.
A
Professional Golfer’s Association (PGA) member for well more than a decade,
Kevin was involved with opening Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Rockwall, Castle
Hills Golf Club in Lewisville, and Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine.
He has
also demonstrated a knack for online customer service training. As a partner
with Four-Star Service, he wrote and developed software that provides online
customer service training for golf club/course staff.
Kevin
points out that Newport Dunes Golf Club, owned by KemperSports, allows him to
have at his disposal “opportunities and resources second to none.” He says,
“Debbie and I visited this course in June, and that did it. It is a unique
course, and I fell in love with the team.”
About
the course, Kevin says, “Newport Dunes is a playable course. You don't have to
be a ‘scratch’ golfer to play it” and goes on to note that the fairways
average 75 yards in width.
Still
selecting staff, Kevin says Newport Dunes will have two assistant golf pros,
shop staff, and food and beverage service staff. He envisions perhaps 30 or
more total employees by the time Newport Dunes is fully operational.
They
will provide food and beverage services, golf carts, driving range, etc. Other
niceties such as mango-iced towels and beginner clinics will be available too.
Kevin says they will provide five sets of tees that will accommodate any age
and skill level.
The
Club’s invitation-only Grand Opening, set for October, will include an
appearance by golf legend Arnold Palmer. However, the course is scheduled to
open September 4. A benefit tournament has been scheduled for September 13.
Kevin
is married to the former Debbie Hardy from Dallas. His sons, Ellis, 15, and
Jonas, 12, look forward to summers and holidays with their dad on Mustang Island.

Recycling industry booms in Claiborne
Parish
MICHELLE BATES, Editor
The
recycling industry brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars into local
communities.
That’s
according to Charlie Weaver, co-owner of Top Dollar Scrap and Recovery in
Homer.
Since its
opening, more than $305,000 has been put directly back into the local economy,
as well as creating a large amount of traffic coming through Homer.
Just
from July to August, the company has processed 705,000 pounds of short iron,
and more than four million pounds of shredded metal.
“In a
sense, we’ve created a little cottage industry,” Weaver said. “We recognize the
significance, and it has a ripple effect on everything.”
More
than 2,000 tons of metal has been hauled out of the parish since July 1, Weaver
said.
“Scrap
metal is a renewable resource and there’s an abundance of it in Claiborne
Parish,” Weaver said. “People didn’t use things and they just disposed of it
the only way they knew how. None of us would have predicted the growth we’ve
had.”
The reach
of Top Dollar extends beyond Claiborne Parish. Their business draws customers
in from as far away as Arkansas.
“The
goal is to treat people fair and treat them like they have a commodity,” he
said, “which is what they do have. We try to pay them well, and in turn,
business has increased.”
Weaver
talked a lot about recycling, and the fact that the company is also looking
into ways to recycle other materials and make new materials.
“We’re
doing this service – not just because of what you see – but because we think
it’s helping things locally and all over,” he added. “I think we take for
granted the metal products, like the cars we drive.”
So, if
all this material is recycled and used in the things consumers use every day,
where does it all go? According to Weaver, the materials trucked out of
Claiborne Parish go to shredders or mills. Some of the material goes to
shredders in Greenville, Miss., Texarkana and other places. Some of the heavier
materials go to Vidalia, he said.
For
more information, call Top Dollar Scrap and Recovery at 927-7243, or for those
who have metal goods to dispose of, take them to 4170 Hwy. 79 in Homer.
Taylor honored
J.T. Taylor is sworn in by Clerk of Court
Pat Gladney.
The Guardian-Journal
James
T. Taylor, of J.T. Taylor Realty, was recently sworn in as a new member to the
Southern Growth Policies Board. This will enable him to work with colleagues
across the South to develop the next generation of economic development
policies.
As a
council member, Taylor will be expected to participate in the two or three
council meetings held each year, as well as participate in the annual
conference and to focus groups held in Louisiana.
Taylor’s chief responsibilities are to participate in the
council meeting and to respond to email inquiries.
The
Southern Growth Policies Board, formed in 1971, connects a wide cross-section
of the region’s governors, legislators, business and citizen leaders in a
face-to-face dialog to foster policy innovation and collaborative action.
This
unique public-private partnership is devoted to strengthening the South’s
economy and creating the highest possible quality of life. The board consists
of five members: the governor of one of the participating states, two citizens
appointed by the governor, a state senator and a state representative.
There
are 13 Southern states that participate in the board. This year, Arkansas
Governor Mike Huckaby is the chairman of the Council on the Southern Community,
which is one of the four advisory councils of the board.
Taylor was honored with the position under Huckaby on the
Council on the Southern Community.
Southern
Growth also involves hundreds of major corporations, educational institutions
and nonprofit organizations in its work through an active associate member
program. This council was formed in 2002 to serve as a regional forum for
raising awareness about community challenges and opportunities in a changing
economic and cultural environment in the South.
Taylor also serves as the vice president of the Claiborne
Chamber of Commerce and has been a driving force behind the plans for the Homer
Bypass and I-69.
He is a
resident of Haynesville and has his business in Homer. He has been married for
57 years to Nell, and they have two children and five grandchildren. He also
has one great-grandchild and one on the way.
