Jackson Assembly & Audubon Pilgrimage a Huge SuccessJackson Assembly has a Banner YearBy Patricia Stallman

On March 27, 28 and 29, the Jackson Assembly Antiques and Art Show welcomed a crowd that Jim Hendrickson, Jackson historian and preservationist, estimates at over 2,500. Hendrickson, president of the Jackson Assembly and chair for the 50th anniversary show, said that 2015’s event was a “banner year” and “the best weekend we’ve ever had.”

Vendor Alan Eckstein of Shingle Horse in Mansfield, Ohio, represent-ed his family in a return to Jackson after a 10-year absence due to his father’s illness. Standing among the tables of antique tools, Eckstein re-marked, “This was mom and dad’s favorite show.” He will, he said, be back next year.

A native of Baton Rouge, she is responsible for operation and man-agement of the Pharmacy Depart-ment, including ensuring quality pharmaceutical services are provid-ed according to accreditation and professional standards.

A graduate of Northeast Louisi-ana University School of Pharmacy, she received a Master of Business Administration degree from Louisi-ana State University.

tion she was a staff pharmacist. Stelly and her husband Daniel re-

side in St. Francisville and have two children, Luke and Emily.

Audubon, Centenary, and Rosedown to

Remain Open

Rosedown Manager Trish Aleshire, left, and State Represen-tative Kenny Havard, right, met Tuesday, March 24, to discuss the great numbers of tourists that visited Rosedown during West Feliciana's Pilgrimage. Havard also put to rest the rumors of historic site closings in the Felicianas. After checking with Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne, Havard reassured the managers of Cente-nary in East Feliciana and Audubon and Rosedown in West Feliciana that Dardenne anticipates no closings in Havard’s district. While hours of op-eration and funds for maintence may suffer some reduction, the tourism sites will remain open. The rumors began with stories in Alexandria and Monroe newspapers.

Emily Deserves a Forever Home

Emily was brought to the James L. "Bo" Bryant shelter in St. Francisville on July 25, 2014, by animal control officers who took her out of a bad situation. She was scarred and bruised, with bite marks on her legs and a swollen face. But even after experiencing such horrible treatment, Emily was sweet and gentle to all the West Feliciana Animal Humane Society volunteers who began to care for her. Further examination by the veterinarian revealed that she had heart worms and that she was pregnant and expected to give birth to her puppies in two weeks. On August 13, 2014, she delivered 14 healthy puppies who were all gray and white like their momma. All of her 14 puppies survived and flourished, and all were adopted! Thanks to WFAHS's guardian angel program, a donor has offered to pay the expenses of her heart worm treatment. Emily is thriving in the care and love she is receiving at the shelter. She really deserves the next chapter of her life to be filled with lots of love and security that a forever family could give her. She loves kids but would be better in a home with no other dogs or cats. Emily, a pit mix, is approximately two and a half to three years old and has been spayed. Interested in adopting Emily? Contact Darlene Reaves by phone at 225-588-0465 or by email: [email protected].

quoises and blues as well as golds and browns. Roth offers everything from large urns to mugs. Reach Roth at [email protected].

Clinton Artist Donna Kilbourne ([email protected]) and members of Jackson’s Charter Street Studio also exhibited their work as always.

Outside of the studio, Fred and Mattie Staughan of Staughan’s Nursery, Loranger, displayed for purchase a huge array of Louisiana plants.

Hosting the vendors and artists were members of the Assembly and area inns, including Milbank House and Old Centenary Inn in Jackson and St. Gemme DeBeauvais in Eth-el.

In addition to the numbers of an-tiques vendors and artists— most, by this time, old friends—in addition to the concurrent model train exhibit and the tours of historic churches and other historic buildings, local mer-chants also offered their welcome and their wares. Next to Milbank, the Old Post Office operates as the

inn’s gift shop. Outside, Dollmaker Linda Alleman of Denham Springs, who has participated in the Assem-bly show since 1995, sold out of her authentic plantation-era cloth dolls. A few feet away, local artist Ravell Robinson was at work in front of his easel. His website will be up and running soon, Robinson says. Until then, reach him at 225-719-3631.

Bear Corners Restaurant, usu-ally open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, welcomed tourists and area visitors all day throughout the Assembly three-day weekend, offering its signature sea-food platters, rib eye steaks, crab cakes, shrimp and corn soup, and spinach dip. The restaurant is also known for its homemade desserts.

“Everything,” owners Andrea and Ritchie Bordelon said, is “from scratch.” Including those wonderful crab cakes? “Absolutely!”

Andrea Bordelon elaborated, “We don’t grab it off the truck and heat it up.” Customers also engage Bear Corners for private parties at the restaurant. “Just phone 310-4030,” Ritchie Bordelon says, “to check our availability.”

ASSEMBLY continued from page 1

Across the street is Feliciana Folks, which offers something of everything: antique furniture and glassware, vintage jewelry, cook-ware, gently used children’s clothes, and garden statuary. Owners Linda and Smitty Schmit have also recent-ly opened the Jackson Vintage Vil-lage and Chit Chat Café in the rear of the Jackson Civic Center a bit east of downtown. “Pickers and Peddlers Welcome,” the Schmit’s card reads. Contact them at jacksonvintagevil-lage.com, Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Also open for tourists was Felici-ana Cellars, Jackson’s winery oper-

ated by Harvey Enterprises.Jackson, which Hendrickson

calls “a Currier and Ives town mi-nus the snow,” mindful of its history, gracious to visitors, looks forward to its 51st Jackson Assembly gathering of friends and tourists.

Those who love Jackson, how-ever, will not have to wait that long for another visit. Coming soon is the Battle of Jackson Crossroads re-enactment April 24, 25, and 26. Sponsoring the event is the Liv-ing History Association of Jackson, Louisiana. For further information, contact Rafe Stewart at [email protected].

Ritchie and Andrea Bordelon of the Bear Corners Restaurant in Jackson take a break after cook-ing seafood platters and rib eyes for three days straight during the Assembly Antiques and Art Show.

Potter Craig Roth of St. Fran-cisville offers pottery in tones of turquoise, teal, cobalt blue, gold and brown.

Baton Rouge blues art-ist, singer-guitarist Lil’ Ray Neal, had some of the Clinton crowd danc-ing in the streets dur-ing the March 27 Mingle and Mix After 6 event in front of the Courthouse. A highlight of the evening came when he played the famous “Lucille” guitar once owned by B.B King, who is world renowned as the King of Blues. When King retired, Neal said, he gave Neal the guitar.

The Town of Clinton spon-sored the gathering, which attracted around 100 residents seeking a nice Friday night family outing. Several revelers at the event commented on the family atmosphere, the beauti-ful spring weather, and the variety of food. Vendors offered fried fish, fried shrimp, pigs’ feet, snow balls, hamburgers, chicken tenders, na-chos and cheese, and French fries. Still available at the town hall are Mix and Mingle t-shirts in sizes

Council Member Kim Wilson Young said that she and the other council mem-bers wanted to give back to the community the support that the community has given to them. Mayor Lori Bell stated that the concept for this event was simply

about unity, that the goal of the event was to fuse the community together, as “Together, everyone achieves more.”

Although the Mayor would have liked to see more people attend, she is hopeful that in the future this event will bring together even more of the town’s residents. In the future, she said, the town will provide more publicity for the event and a broader form of entertainment.

The second of the Mingle and Mix series, the March event show-cased the family fun that makes small towns in the Felicianas home.

The third Mingle, Mayor Bell says, will take place Friday, April 24.

detecting dog from the time of his service in Afghanistan. The story made national and state news and continues to inspire all who hear it. Jared Heine, who re-ceived the Purple Heart in recognition of his injuries and courage, recently gradu-ated from culinary school and is moving forward, Spike at his side.

While CRPC provides its members with “technical assistance for economic development, comprehensive planning, and zoning,” it “focuses a great deal of its resources on transportation planning is-sues and activities, which includes high-way planning…and air quality issues.” Speaker Betsey W. Tramonte, Transpor-tation Specialist—Safety with the Loui-siana Division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Ad-ministration, addressed railroad-crossing safety. Tramonte, whose past work has included promoting highway-rail safety, discussed highway-rail safety research in Louisiana.

Tramonte pointed out that of all the railroads across the nation, “the major-ity comes down to New Orleans,” which helps explain why the state is in the top 10 nationally for train and car crashes. Despite an increase in traffic, however, the number of crashes has declined, from 250 in 1998 to 84 in 2014. The Depart-ment of Transportation and Develop-ment determines the expenditure of its safety dollars through on-site inspections that help determine “potential dangers to potential users.” Some corrective ac-tions include building overpasses, clos-ing crossings, and improving crossings by resurfacing, adding lights, coordinat-ing signals, installing advance-warning signs, and educating the public to yield at crossings.

One of the findings in the US DOT Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Action Plan, which Tramonte discussed, is that 177 multiple-collision crossings com-prise only 5 percent of state crossings but are responsible for 50 percent of the collisions. Another finding: 85 percent of crashes occur at crossings that lack gates. Further, 78 percent of crashes occur at crossings near highway intersections.

One corrective measure is to consoli-date crossing in areas where too many crossings are located.

Most of these measures entail public meetings with all those whom a change in crossings would affect, that is, all of the users: EMT responders, schools (buses), local government, and railroads themselves.

As the Felicianas anticipate that a re-vival of several short lines will accompa-ny anticipated economic development, several audience members contributed questions.

The group then enjoyed—as did Spike, who dined like a gentleman—the repast DEMCO had provided. As a matter of fact, Spike’s companion Heine said, when he opens his Cajun and Cre-ole restaurant—the Purple Hearts—in St. Francisville with two service buddies, he’ll consider allowing well-behaved, well-trained dogs like Spike to accom-pany their people.

At the Monday night gathering of res-idents from small towns and villages, all of whom, it appeared, knew Heine and Spike and knew one another, the reasons for the existence of CRPC was clear: supporting and assisting each other. As the CRPC website notes: One of its mis-sions is to “provide technical assistance to constituent governments, especially for the smaller parishes and municipali-ties with limited resources.” The resourc-es may be limited, but the determination to succeed brings everyone together.

Living History Association of Jackson Presents the 24th Annual Battle of Jackson

Crossroads April 24, 25, and 26, 2015By Billy SPedale

The continuing war for control of the Mississippi River between the Confed-eracy and the Union culminated in the major siege operations at Vicksburg and Port Hudson in the summer of 1863. Be-cause of these campaigns, many smaller actions took place in communities of less strategic value which otherwise may never have directly experienced the sights and sounds of battle.

Two such engagements occurred at Jackson, Louisiana, in 1863 as a result of the Union campaign to take Port Hudson. The first action occurred when a large Federal foraging expedition was mov-ing through the area. Approximately two hundred wagons with cavalry and infan-try escort, commanded by Colonel Hal-bert Greenleaf, set forth from the Federal siege lines at Port Hudson on their way to Jackson on the morning of June 20. The soldiers visited plantations and farms along the 12-mile route in search of cot-ton bales to be used in the siege lines.

The wagon train, which stretched over two miles in length, reached the in-tersection where the Jackson-Port Hud-son Road crossed the Jackson-Clinton Road. As the Federal expedition singled out the Keller Plantation just north of the crossroads, Colonel Thomas R. Stock-dale’s Mississippi Cavalry Brigade swept over the column with little warning. The brief fight stampeded the huge wagon train, giving the Confederates ample op-portunity to take fifty wagons, 200 mules,

and 50 prisoners.A second engagement occurred at

Jackson on August 3. A recruiting ex-pedition from Port Hudson, number-ing between 350 and 500 men under the command of Lieutenant Moore Hanham, reached Jackson late in the day on August 2 to recruit African Americans for the Twelfth Corps d’Afrique. The following evening, a force of about 500 Confederate cavalrymen, under the com-mand of Colonel John Logan, struck the Union soldiers drawn up in a battle line on the campus of Centenary College. Af-ter a brief stand, the Federals were routed from the town with the loss of between 80 and 100 men, two field pieces, and numerous supply wagons. Logan stated that he lost only 12 men killed or wound-ed.

Before the Federal forces isolated Port Hudson from the surrounding coun-tryside, Confederate forces used Cente-nary College buildings as a hospital. At one point, a company of the 4th Louisi-ana Regiment, the Lake Providence Ca-dets, commanded by Captain Charles R. Purdy, was stationed in Jackson to guard the town.

Each year the Jackson Living History Association sponsors the Battle of Jack-son Crossroads and tries to make it as historically accurate as possible.
