Last Thursday we had Claiborne Parish Registrar of Voters, Mrs. Tracy Starkey, update us on the new changes concerning the closed primaries in the upcoming May election. Mrs. Starkey did an excellent job explaining the role of the Registrar and the many facets of voting.

What a good program today at the Homer Lions Club! We had the honor of hearing from Randy Rogers, who shared his inspiring work to revitalize Dubach through his "Dubach Legends" community projects. From the stunning fountains to the beautiful flag on Hwy 167, the restored bird watching walk, the picturesque pond, baseball field, and even the freshly repainted buildings in Dubach, Randy's efforts to inspire the Dubach community to pitch-in and give back are truly transforming the town.

A huge thank you to Randy for sharing your passion and vision with us today! Your dedication to Dubach is an inspiration to us all. 💫🙌

A great idea for those of you with grandchildren!

We are happy to announce that our "Check Out Louisiana State Park" backpacks and passes are ready for use!

The State Library of Louisiana and the Louisiana Department of Tourism have done an excellent job of putting this project together. Claiborne Parish Library is one 21 public libraries in Louisiana chosen to participate in the pilot program in conjunction with our beautiful Lake Claiborne State Park, other Louisiana state parks, as well as historic sites in Louisiana!

Patrons in good standing can come by the main library in Homer to check out a backpack and a one-day pass to any State Park or Historic Site in Louisiana. Or if you want a pass and no backpack, you may check out just the pass.

The backpack is checked out for 7 (seven days) it contains: compass, magnifying glass, binoculars, card stock pamphlets for identification of trees, birds, flowers and other wildlife that might be found at Louisiana's State Parks, and some Eco-friendly tips for conservation of our natural resources. The Park Pass is good for one-day.

The backpacks and the gate passes may not be renewed. The backpack comes with the responsibly of returning the pack and its contents in good condition for other users.

Patrons may only check out these materials every six weeks - so everyone will have an equal chance to use these privileges.

We are proud of our Louisiana State’s state parks and historic sites; this is a great way to take your kids outdoors and let them learn the joys of nature and develop a love for history!

We appreciate Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser and the work he does for Louisiana in promoting our best to the world, and the State Library of Louisiana. We are fortunate to have their guidance and help, we have a wonderful heritage of promoting life-long learning.

Homer Lions Club will meet Thursday, September 26, 2024, at 12 noon, Claiborne Parish Library.
Our meal will be gumbo from Homer Seafood, we will get burgers for those who can not eat shellfish or prefer a burger. Try to let us know if you plan to attend by Wednesday 25th.

The speaker for our meeting is John L. Brown, Jr., one of the most renowned and well respected wildlife/hunting videographers in the United States. Turns out he is a very gifted writer and musician also.

From Gathering Light:

(A letter to the Editor of the Madison Journal, 1975, regarding what was taking place in Madison, Franklin, and Tensas parishes- the destruction of the Tensas Basin lands. The author of the letter is not given.)

“ It is your great grandfather’s first buck and your great grandsons also. … It is the legacy of Teddy Roosevelt and Ben Lilly. It was virgin forests, Ivory-billed woodpeckers, wolves, cougars and enchantment. It is wealth in sawlogs for those who don’t need it and poverty in flooded soybean markets for those who struggle. It is destroyed roads, ineffective politicians and passive citizens. It is a funeral pyre of our heritage, past, present and future.”

At the end of the chapter Brown writes, “ For my father and I, the rest of our afternoon we checked on our camp. He moved with zombie-like persona, often stopping to stare blankly across the river. Once finished, he quietly returned to the truck, fired the engine and we headed west toward home. He would seldom return to the Tensas after that day, and by 1979 I would be a 13-year-old boy without a place to hunt or family members to take me afield.”

(In 1980 the Tensas River National Refuge was established, initially encompassing approximately 65,000 acres.)
