Retiring Board Members Honored
Sleft to right: Brent Saltzman, Sean Cummings and James Martarona
ean Cummings, Kinder Morgan Inc has served on various board committees and most recently served as Chair of the Best Practices Committee. His most
notable contribution to our program was the inaugural LA811 Scholarship Program that was implemented this year recognizing high school seniors.
Sonny Vidrine, Gulf South Pipeline LP has served the LA811 Board of Directors longer than anyone in the history of our organization. He was elected to the board in 1999, originally representing Koch Gateway Pipeline, and has served on a multitude of committees in various capacities.
Both gentlemen brought a wealth of knowledge to our organization and their contributions will be sorely missed. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our staff, we wish them well in their future endeavors.
Do you know what lies beneath?
At Entergy, safety is our number one priority. Make it yours! Whether you are a homeowner, field worker or excavator, always call 811 before you dig.
From installing a new pool to something as simple as planting a tree, digging without knowing what’s beneath the surface can harm or possibly kill you or someone you love. You could disrupt utility services to your neighborhood and be responsible for expensive repairs and steep fines.
When you call 811 before you dig, all utilities, including Entergy, are required to respond within two business days to locate and mark the underground utility lines. (The two business days start the morning of the day after you called in for a locate ticket).
And if you suspect a gas leak, leave the area immediately and call 1-800-ENTERGY (368-3749) or 911. A gas leak could be happening if you smell the distinctive natural gas odor, hear a hissing or whistling sound
near a gas appliance or see dead vegetation or bubbles near a gas line.
We’re committed to keeping you safe. Together, we power life.
