Admitted as the eighteenth state into the Union on April 30, 1812, Louisiana, with its diverse heritage, is perhaps the most distinctive of all states. I encourage you to celebrate Louisiana’s statehood, 200 years in the making, in all classrooms—elementary, middle, and secondary—and across the curricula. To help educators incorporate the statehood celebration into their classroom, the Louisiana Bicentennial Commission, chaired by Lt. General (Retired) Russell Honoré, and the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism have developed a standards-based desk reference, which will be accessible to teachers across this great state. The lesson plans and projects, designed for ease of implementation and aligned to the state standards and GLEs, will assist educators in actively engaging all students in learning about Louisiana. Some of the activities and materials that will be available to all educators include The Louisiana Statehood Bicentennial Desk Reference for Educators, complete with primary sources, historical essays, and lesson plans An Internet-based education site, www.crt.state.la.us/education A Web-based interactive Louisiana history timeline Statewide teacher workshops Additionally, opportunities for student involvement across the state will be tremendous, as during 2012 Louisiana communities will commemorate not only the 200th anniversary of statehood, but also the bicentennial anniversary of the beginning of the War of 1812 and the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. This convergence of events provides an unprecedented opportunity for educators and communities to positively impact student learning. Therefore, as we join to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Louisiana’s statehood, I urge you to take advantage of the educational materials and opportunities provided by the Louisiana Bicentennial Commission and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor’s Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism. Please visit the Louisiana Statehood Bicentennial Internet site, www.louisianabicentennial2012.com, or the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism site, www.crt.state.la.us/education, for more information about our educational resources and opportunities.

COPY B. : POETICAL JOTTINGS OF THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA. —f-f — BY CHARLES UAYARPE The following quotations are taken from the History of Louisiana by Charles Gayarre, the eminent writer and historian, and will no doubt prove to be a very appropriate preface to this work, as it will admit a basis of comparison for "Louisiana as it is to-day." After a masterly and graceful preliminary the learned historian said "I am willing to apply that criterion to Louisiana, considered both physically and historically; I am willing that my native State, which is but a fragrant of what Louisiana formerly was, should stand and fall by that test, and do not fear to approach with her the seat of judgment. I am prepared to show that her history is full of poetry of the highest order, and of the most varied nature. I have studied the subject "con amore," and with such reverential enthusiasm, and I may say with such filial piety, that it has grown upon my heart as well as upon my mind.

  • PJAL Manual 11Th Edition a Compilation of the Laws Concerning the Authority and Responsibility of Parish Governing Authorities Updated Through The
    PJAL Manual 11th Edition A compilation of the laws concerning the authority and responsibility of parish Governing Authorities updated through the Regular Legislative Session of 2019 Police Jury Association of Louisiana Page | i Preface The Police Jury Manual is designed as a ready reference to the general Constitutional and statutory provisions on the powers, duties and responsibilities of police jurors/parish government officials. Its purpose is to bring together in a single volume legal provisions that are widely scattered throughout the Constitution and statutes. Every effort has been made to accurately summarize the general laws governing police juries/parish governments. The manual, however, is not to be used as a legal text or for the purpose of legal opinions. The state Constitution, the statutes and court decisions are the final authorities governing police jury/parish governing authority operations. Each reference in the manual includes the legal citation necessary to assist the reader in locating the precise wording of the law or the more detailed and technical provisions that may have been omitted. Legal provisions pertaining to police jury/parish governing authority powers in certain areas, such as taxing and borrowing authority, are numerous, complex and sometimes archaic, contradictory and vague. For this reason, it is very important that police juries/parish governments consult their legal advisors in all cases in which a question of law or legal interpretation is involved. The Police Jury Manual was first prepared and published in 1960 by the Public Affairs Research Council (PAR) at the request of the Police Jury Association of Louisiana. This completely revised and updated eleventh edition was revised by the Police Jury Association staff.

  • Motion to Dismiss Complaint
    PUBLIC UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 11 27 2017 _______________________________________ 588835 In the Matter of Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board, Docket No. 9374 Respondent _______________________________________ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT Pursuant to Rule 3.22 of the Commission Rules of Practice, Respondent Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board (“LREAB” or the “Board”), through undersigned counsel, hereby moves the Commission to dismiss the Part 3 Administrative Complaint, dated May 30, 2017. Oral argument is requested. To summarize the grounds for this Motion set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the Board states as follows: 1. The actions of the Board are State actions that are immune from federal antitrust scrutiny under Cal. Retail Liquor Dealers Assn. v. Midcal Aluminum, Inc., 445 U.S. 97, 105-06 (1980). Louisiana law clearly articulates the intent to displace competition in the market for residential real estate appraisal fees by requiring enforcement of the obligation of Appraisal Management Companies (“AMCs”) to compensate residential appraisers at “customary and reasonable” (“C&R”) rates, and the State of Louisiana actively supervises the Board’s regulatory activities. 2. Under an Executive Order issued by the Governor of the State of Louisiana on July 11, 2017, the Board has repromulgated its C&R fee rule under newly-required active supervision of the Commissioner of Administration—who has authority to approve, reject, or modify the 1 PUBLIC Board-proposed regulation—in addition to supervision by oversight subcommittees of the Louisiana Senate and House Commerce Committees and the Governor. Through this active supervision, the State of Louisiana reaffirmed that the Board’s C&R fee regulation serves Louisiana’s policy of protecting the integrity of residential mortgage appraisals by requiring that AMCs pay customary and reasonable fees for such appraisals.

  • Hello. My Name Is Julie Doucet and I'm an Archaeologist with the Louisiana Division of Archaeology. I'm Happy to Participate
    Hello. My name is Julie Doucet and I’m an archaeologist with the Louisiana Division of Archaeology. I’m happy to participate in this meeting of the Louisiana Association of Independent Schools, and thanks so much to Cathy Mills for inviting me to join her today. I’d like to share with you the educational resources available from the Louisiana Division of Archaeology to introduce archaeology into the classroom. 1 Why archaeology? Archaeology helps us learn about the past. Archaeology, and its parent field anthropology, are sciences that help us understand ourselves as humans and understand our place in this world. Part of being human is to be curious and inquisitive, which generates many questions. Archaeology is one way to find answers to some of these questions; questions like how did our world or our society get to be this way, and why do certain cultures behave the way they do. How do we learn about the past? Space science has given us a glimpse back in time to the birth of our universe, nearly 8 billion years ago. Geology helps us understand how our planet was formed, going back about 4.5 billion years ago. Paleontology focuses on the origin of life on Earth by studying the fossil remains of plants and animals. History and archaeology also study the past, with more of a focus on the human story. History deals mainly with the written record, while archaeology allows us to go further back in time, before writing. Archaeology helps us understand where, when, how and why people lived.
