Victim’s sister asks killer: ‘What mercy did you show?’
VIDALIA — A Simmesport pharmacist convicted of killing his wife will have to serve at least 34 years in prison after he received the maximum sentence allowed for manslaughter during an emotional hearing this morning. Joe Plauche was sentenced to 40 years of hard labor – a year for every year his slain wife Margaret Plauche lived – and was escorted from the Concordia Parish courtroom handcuffed and shackled after District Judge Mark Jeansonne read the verdict.“It is the court’s opinion that (the shooting) wasn’t an accident,” Jeansonne said when explaining his ruling. “... Yes the (couple’s) children’s needs are great, and they can – when they get older – view the court’s actions as treacherous to them, but I have carefully pondered this and believe the extended family on both sides will do what they have to do to nurture these children. Margaret will not be there, and Joe will not be there.”Joe Plauche must serve at least 34 years – 85 percent of the sentence – as manslaughter is considered a violent crime. He was found guilty of manslaughter by a Concordia Parish jury – a lesser-included offense compared to his original charge of second-degree murder – in July after about 30 minutes of deliberations. The trial for the May 31, 2007, slaying at the Plauches’ Marksville home was moved outside of Avoyelles Parish after a jury couldn’t be seated there. Today’s hearing began with Jeansonne denying a defense motion for a new trial. He said objections about evidence shown and the dismissal of a juror – for what the defense said was solely for race – weren’t true or valid. Jeansonne said he is “confident that I did ensure Mr. Plauche a fair trial.”

Most Cenla school districts' ACT scores up
By Tom Bonnette • tbonnette@thetowntalk.com • August 16, 2008 Most Central Louisiana school districts improved their ACT scores this year but still fell slightly below the state's average composite score of 20.3. In Rapides Parish, the ACT composite score remained steady at 20.1, neither dropping nor improving from 2007. Schools Superintendent Gary Jones said raising student's future ACT performance is an emphasis for the district this year. He said seeing other parish scores moving closer to Rapides Parish makes him think remaining static "is not good enough." Many state colleges and universities use the ACT, which tests students in English, math, reading and science, to determine eligibility for admissions and scholarships as well as placement in college courses The state's composite score went from a 20.1 in 2007 to 20.3. It includes public and nonpublic school students. Jones said Rapides Parish is looking at ACT composite scores in conjunction with other indicators to gauge the district's educational success and form a plan to address district needs. Susan Welch, Avoyelles Parish's superintendant of secondary education, said she was proud of her district's score, which improved to an average of 19.6 from 19.3. "We are excited about it," she said. "Our school (district) is showing a big improvement from past years." Welch said programs in Avoyelles, such as a new ACT online course, are helping to raise test scores. ACT scores in Avoyelles have gone up more than a full point since 2004.

Unless you won the lottery this week you would probably be excited to find money owed to you. You may be thinking, ‘I have never forgotten about money owed to me’, this may be true, but what about the monies you are not aware of? For example, an inheritance, savings bond, royalties, and rebates. I recently visited the Louisiana Department of Treasury website and found that Cottonport residents have money waiting to be claimed. Several Cottonport residents have in excess of $100 owed to them, and I also found a resident that has a safety deposit box waiting to be claimed from Capitol One. Surprised? Well, don’t be. It has been reported that funds are owed to millions of Americans and instead of making any sizable effort to contact the rightful owners, the state is now proposing to spend this money to handle there own budget problems. Chances are you haven’t heard about the free search that is available through the Unclaimed Money Database found at the Louisiana Treasury website. It is easy and it is free to collect the money that is rightfully yours. You may be surprised of the good you can find when you find yourself being a good neighbor and helping others. Here are just a few of the people in Cottonport who have money waiting to be claimed.
