How Central Compares CHAMBER GOLF TOURNAMENT CENTRAL SPEAKS THIS MONDAY Good News for a Great City • Daily News at CentralSpeaks.com • June 23, 2011 How Central Compares Just The Facts from Around Louisiana By Dave Freneaux • Increasing Central’s City Coun- cil from 5 to 7 seats would likely cost $130,000 every four years. • 98% of Louisiana municipalities Central’s size and smaller are getting the job done with 5 or fewer Council Members. When considering how many Council Members a City needs, many things must be taken into con- sideration. Fortunately, we have hundreds of communities in Loui- siana with a combined thousands of years of experience running local governments, and we can certainly look to their decisions and City Council structures for guidance. The argument can be made that Central is different from many other communities, and that argu- ment is valid. Central has the dis- tinct advantages of privatized City Services. In addition, primary Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, Emer- gency Services, Trash Pickup, Sew- er and Water are all being provided Above: The Amite River at sunset.

Camping and the outdoor program is an important aspect of Scouting. Scouting strives to build character, citizenship, and fitness. When scouts go camping, this growth just seems to follow. Patrol and troop camping are models and a testing ground for life in society where each scout learns to accept responsibility and to exercise good judgment. Camping contributes to the interaction among fellow scouts in positive and supportive ways since Scouts who camp will soon come face to face with practical applications of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
