because you know how to find out what we've all been through an extremely tough tough year the great flood was something that nobody really expected to act %HESITATION Norrell of factors that went into it that I'm not going to get into today but we all know that it was hard what what's gonna happen on the other hand where we gonna go from here so I'm gonna
buy it all per second to sit down %HESITATION with a seven year old version of me %HESITATION and my mother father and our breakfast and %HESITATION my father was a large intimidating and %HESITATION as you would your thoughts on bill twenty I'm seven I say it's a pretty cool guy plays saxophone my dad says what the hell is that what do you think about us policy
spatter things that you have and it was at that point I realized where was my safety which do business owners facts are interesting right we on people are web page looks but as we've seen the pictures up on crack so Thatcher something that but multiple facts you got to know all strength and now my latest I'm publisher along with my mother of our local newspaper on
the interstate fails there's more than one section to our paper there's more than once to this community all the information we put so course and our pick for is based upon facts collect right but they're all important I am all members of the their perception maybe a little bit they hang our hat different somebody else person living right next but it's still important still part of
what makes us a community and here's an interesting fact what was the last time you were staying there having a conversation with somebody and you heard him say let me tell you something and you knew this person had the they're about to tell you the answer to that problem the one singular answer it was going to answer that question all questions that right well we all
know that usually that's right there are many many many facets to ever quite they'll Carnegie says is the best way to get the answers to continue to ask questions but the point so there is no one opposes peace out positive you that there are multiple puzzle pieces the interesting thing about what our community leaders done is that they have a sort of latched on to the
stunning Brian gross post Katrina right between happen devastate cause people to move a lot of people in the baton Rouge for others people moved here so we have a lot of new people here but there are a lot of good things happening right first positive even available to private schools this particular picture is of a nice lady from Ohio showing a kid from down a rival
high school where he needs to go in the morning when they had to put tunes together after the flood story is a good picture it was hard it's horrible hostesses Harlem's parents horror movie we may write good stuff we have teachers your house should be taught me later constantly apologizing opportunity export around the dream we don't ask for a grand bash pros opened up the worst
all sorts of things Frank junior crossing war shopping around fast growth people are continuing to come here which we all know they exist people who use our tax dollars beautiful library very happy expression of illustrate a point I know that our friends at least economic development lowest %HESITATION an extra two because keeps people here right gives people employed of this particular picture I've have no idea
because I know to the gentlemen and it made a very uncomfortable %HESITATION this is mark Brower whose distribution facility for my college opening at the industrial park Walker know very interesting thing about this is a sense may open vast it opens the door for grants for them to expand industrial park bring war going on for two more companies very cool stuff that a number of growth
is not without its negatives there is a contract we all sit in traffic trappings creative writing so lonely time %HESITATION it's very interesting you get on the interstate morning that that of the people were much resigned to their fate %HESITATION most impressive scene I've ever seen was awaiting putting on her makeup getting and it's looking %HESITATION credit %HESITATION but we're trying to keep up and as
far drainage this is another problem and not just what footage this picture is from an afternoon and evening rain about six weeks ago that's eight hours after the rain stopped Ryan the British Council recently dish pull on the ballot and approved it for a vote I've read the people and all on new drainage districts there's tax that comes with that owns pretty anti tax right now
water drainage is very good at all a complaint from a lot of peace including a lot of people that have been here for awhile culture yes we do have some good things that we can live off to the library for instance harsh %HESITATION but what about culture would he be people here a lot of people have moved here to following new neighborhood their kids to school
or to find a nice house bang for the Buck then I came we gave each year you know there's a perception problem with which is rare she broke my bride even if a new challenge to talk to about that later but there's something amiss there's something missing between the core people that live here and the people who have moved here for one day right it's nearly
twenty so how do you take that eighty percent tightly harbor a thousand three Haitian even after four we're still over a hundred twenty thousand people who live in this parish as of two thousand thirteen or study two out of three leave to go work somewhere else everyday provision of traffic problems so we're turning this fiction is there really want to answer now prime is there one
reason why the dissipation straight now is there one reason why living superiors could improve not at all where do you go Ryan well how does it use it limits affairs which is more like this gonna finish polishing my magic yourself for sex you come into the breakfast room Sunday morning gotta go because you were deep into the night or post you cause a fire which finally
ran honest sounds like a lot of people have to slow it but you come back fresh you're feeling good about which did the pictures starting to come together problem we have here is this all of these different sections that are being built along the edge to come out from the edge are all different entities that we have right now parroquia penis palace the parish council %HESITATION
economic development shame book you know we even have a lot of people within the same courthouse to I would say probably don't have a unified plan going forward except try to keep well to top things to do it really hits me our population is almost done it takes years and is expected to double what he in the next ten it's a hard thing to keep up
with what is it lower vision leadership right Porsche yeah that only someone with an idea we're gonna go forth know another person time not marketing for myself please don't think that %HESITATION but there has to be in a leadership there has to be some sort of collective idea of where we're going go right and then someone bring it all together call those people because they all
have a part to play Walker did their part Paris has play the sheriff has his part all of them working together now Dennis Francis in a world where a guy vbo has set up a community development plan with their inviting citizens to come to them bright ideas right now the neat thing about this is we all her clothes or been a part of those plans that
have real pie and sky use and end up getting scraps is a psychopath one of the wonderful things about this is a famous gonna come to us come to the community at the end in a public meeting and say we can do this who we cannot so they're actually move forward with things the realistic not of particularly like this one because if they call a table
topics can only imagine what it's like for the mayor the building inspector to see now rolling dice followed him again arose plane screams but here's the other interesting fact prime that is with respect each looking fathers for March over five hundred miles on that walkways there are more municipalities in Devon thanks and it's interesting wanna that there is so much space here but it's so different
conservative Hersh writing a lot of different people much like a world which which is down in the bottom right there are a lot of different types of people New Orleans is having some problems right negative get into that what it is better our next door neighbors has their own problems right they're losing citizens to our pictures we've come last year I would say from a pro
choice standpoint has taken advantage all to hear music festivals conflict bring people over there unfortunately now but it's something to look at something to consider by it's not necessarily the court saying that keeps us together here in the parish which law what is it schools this is super cabinet right winced wow this was a speech about eight weeks ago where he'd acquired not only did we
survive grades love we did that and it's true all of the schools here in Paris whether they slaughter on who whatever comes wow it's amazing right they're just like high school will be awarded I don't know the first type issue in a couple of weeks some for expanding their AP program fastest growing in the state who was at what other highly title Albany nanotech Springfield holding
more awe nationally recognized schools very cool Ryan three pictures here Schaffhausen words writing all of which come different parts of our paper different parts of the community prime Holden what a state softball championship one with president picture by the way Crichton fun what Albany girls ask people which is a stage chip we had all sorts of criminal manner this just illustrates how school they graduated on
time more time this gift who thought that they might argue that a college for going to the graduating one time this year is ten springs elementary mostro looks like chief operating on one she's tired but this the campus was amazing popped up right next to our office all factual claim stills for young men they should separating these kids in the three elementary school right while they
had to put this together returning to abuse of cans Ryan and these kids finish school could have come back together for the second half of the year so the question becomes what is the out what is it really what we've really looking for here and the answers you know by a community right now you have five presidents here to push Livingston parish for not keeping up
but to go somewhere and I would say that it starts with the schools they're amazing they do great things ever heard here and they have all sorts of little use to hope sharp things but there has to be a leader and it starts there and from there we can bring the whole community together and hopefully one day finished must thank you
