19453118	Louisiana Highway 19 Louisiana Highway 19 Louisiana Highway 19 (LA 19) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs in a north–south direction from U.S. Highway 61 (US 61) in Baton Rouge to the Mississippi state line north of Norwood. The route connects a string of communities projecting northward out of Baton Rouge, the state capital, including the small suburban cities of Baker and Zachary. It traverses two of the Florida Parishes, East Baton Rouge and East Feliciana, in a nearly linear fashion as the entire route parallels a railroad line. LA 19 has three notable junctions, two of which 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453119	provide access to downtown Baton Rouge. These are US 61 and Interstate 110 (I-110) and are located within the first of the route on its southern end. The highway also intersects LA 10, an east–west cross-state route that connects with Jackson and Clinton, two nearby small towns of historic character. The latter is also the seat of East Feliciana Parish. The remaining junctions along LA 19 mostly serve to connect the route with the parallel US 61 and LA 67. Route description. From the south, LA 19 begins at an intersection with US 61 (Scenic Highway) north of 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453120	downtown Baton Rouge. US 61 connects the city with St. Francisville and Natchez, Mississippi to the north. LA 19 laterals off of US 61 as it heads north on Scotland Avenue alongside the Canadian National Railway (CN) tracks through an area within the Baton Rouge city limits known as Scotlandville. Immediately after passing the local high school, LA 19 proceeds through a half diamond interchange with southbound I-110, which leads back to the downtown area. Here, the highway widens from a two-lane to an undivided four-lane highway. Just north of the interstate, the suburban surroundings abruptly change as 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453121	LA 19 passes a series of small industrial facilities, including an ExxonMobil chemical plant. During this time, it intersects LA 423 (Thomas Road), a short connector to the parallel LA 67. The highway enters Baker as it intersects LA 3006 (Lavey Lane), a second connector to nearby LA 67. Widening to accommodate a center turning lane, LA 19 proceeds through Baker on Main Street, its principal commercial thoroughfare. The suburb's main junction is an intersection with Groom Road, a local road that connects with LA 964 and LA 67 on either side of town. North of Baker, LA 19 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453122	passes through the small city of Zachary, where it diverges slightly from the CN railroad line for the first time. The highway intersects LA 64 (Main Street) in the center of town, connecting with US 61 to the west and the city of Central to the east. Proceeding northward from this junction, LA 19 narrows again to an undivided two-lane highway. It rejoins the CN railroad heading out of Zachary and then crosses from East Baton Rouge Parish into East Feliciana Parish. Immediately across the parish line, LA 19 passes through the small town of Slaughter, intersecting LA 412 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453123	at Church Street. The highway proceeds northward, now following the Gloster Southern Railroad (GLSR) through more rural surroundings. About north of Slaughter, LA 19 passes through an area known as Ethel, where it intersects two minor state routes, LA 956 and LA 955. LA 19 turns northeast, running concurrently with the latter for a short distance before resuming its northern trajectory. Now running parallel to the railroad line at a greater distance, the highway intersects LA 10 at McManus. LA 10 connects with the nearby towns of Jackson and Clinton to the west and east, respectively. north of LA 10 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453124	is an intersection with LA 963 near a point known as Gurley. Over its remaining , LA 19 passes through two small villages situated along the GLSR railroad line and intersects a rural state route in each: LA 68 in Wilson and LA 422 in Norwood. Just beyond Norwood, LA 19 reaches the Mississippi state line, and the highway continues northward as Mississippi Highway 33 (MS 33) toward Centreville, where connections are made to the cities of Natchez and McComb. Route classification and data. LA 19 is generally classified by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) as an 	Louisiana Highway 19

Daily traffic volume in 2013 peaked at 29,200 vehicles north of the I-110 interchange and decreased steadily through the suburbs of Baker and Zachary to 16,800 vehicles. Once the highway crosses into rural East Feliciana Parish at Slaughter, the figure drops off sharply, reaching an estimate of 2,200 vehicles toward the Mississippi state line. The posted speed limit is usually in rural areas, reduced to between and through town. History. Pre-1955 route numbering. In the original Louisiana Highway system in use between 1921 and 1955, the modern LA 19 was part of 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453126	two separate routes, State Route 91 and State Route 152. Northern section. The northern section running from Slaughter to the Mississippi state line was designated as State Route 91. It was created in 1921 by an act of the state legislature as one of the original 98 state highway routes. Originally, the north end of the highway was in Norwood as a direct route connecting Norwood with Centerville, Mississippi appears not to have existed at the time. By 1927, Route 91 had been extended, curving northwest to closely follow what was then the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad to the 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453127	Mississippi state line. Otherwise, the route remained essentially the same up to the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. By this time, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley line had been absorbed into the Illinois Central Railroad. Southern section. The remainder of present-day LA 19, consisting of the southern portion of the route between Scotlandville and Slaughter, was added to the state highway system in 1928. As was common practice by the Louisiana Highway Commission (forerunner of the La DOTD), it was designated with a different route number from the highway it continued. This route also remained largely unchanged during the pre-1955 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453128	era. The only exception was a re-alignment of the highway between Baker and Zachary sometime after 1937. This improvement eliminated two grade crossings of the Illinois Central (now the Gloster Southern) railroad tracks and streamlined the route through Zachary. The original route made a zigzag across the tracks north of Baker and followed what is now Old Baker-Zachary Road into Zachary. In the center of town, the route turned east onto Church Street back across the railroad line, then north onto East Central Avenue to rejoin the current alignment. Once bypassed, the original route was designated as State 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453129	Route C-2174. The portion of this route within the Zachary city limits was retained in the 1955 renumbering as LA 1203. Post-1955 route history. LA 19 was created in 1955 as a collective renumbering of former State Routes 91 and 152. The route of LA 19 has remained the same since the 1955 renumbering, although the southern terminus in Scotlandville is now within the Baton Rouge city limits. The once independent town was annexed in stages between the early 1970s and early 1980s. The biggest improvement to LA 19 since its creation has been the widening of the highway to 	Louisiana Highway 19
19453130	four lanes through most of East Baton Rouge Parish. This has served to accommodate the increased traffic volume caused by the suburban outgrowth of Baton Rouge. The section between LA 423 and Baker was widened in the late 1970s and extended south to connect with the newly constructed extension of I-110 around 1982. The widening of the portion between Baker and Zachary occurred by the end of the decade. Louisiana Highway 19 Louisiana Highway 19 (LA 19) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana.

19453131	Scott Scissons Scott Scissons Scott Scissons (born October 29, 1971 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He was drafted in the first round, sixth overall, by the New York Islanders in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. While a high percentage of players selected in the first round of that draft went on to productive National Hockey League (NHL) careers, Scissons was one of the few busts, playing just two regular season NHL games (none of the other top eight picks in the 1990 draft played fewer than 909 games in the NHL) and one playoff game, going 	Scott Scissons
19453132	scoreless in all. Scissons was chosen ahead of many players who went on to long NHL careers, including: Darryl Sydor, Derian Hatcher, Peter Bondra, Doug Weight and Keith Tkachuk, and Martin Brodeur. During his three seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Saskatoon Blades, Scissons made an impact, scoring 30 goals and 56 assists in his rookie season, plus 40 goals in his sophomore one, to climb up on the scout rankings for the 1990 draft. However, soon the injuries that would mar his career would manifest. At 18, Scissons went through a discectomy, and a wrist injury would 	Scott Scissons

Scissons made his NHL debut with the Islanders, appearing in one game at the end of the 1990–91 season. He then spent the 1991–92 season playing with the Canadian National Hockey Team, and during a game with the Montreal Canadiens injured his shoulder in a check by John LeClair. However, he was not chosen to represent Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics. Scissons spent the 1992–93 season playing with the Islanders' American Hockey League affiliate, the Capital District Islanders. He did, however	Scott Scissons

He appeared in one more game with them during the 1993–94 season, and spent the remainder of the year with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the International Hockey League. He then played 30 IHL games in the 1994–95 season with the Minnesota Moose and Denver Grizzlies. In 1995, Scissons tried out for the Dallas Stars, but a pessimistic assessment by the team doctor lead into an early retirement at the age of 22.

19453136	Goldcliff, Newport Goldcliff, Newport Goldcliff () is a village, parish and community to the south east of the city of Newport in South Wales. It lies within the Newport city boundaries in the historic county of Monmouthshire and the preserved county of Gwent. Administratively, the community of Goldcliff includes the village/parish of Whitson. The population in 2001 was 233; by 2011 it had risen to 329. Toponymy. The name is said to have originated from the siliceous limestone cliff, standing about high, at Hill Farm, rising over a great bed of yellow mica which breaks the level at the shore and has 	Goldcliff, Newport
19453137	a glittering appearance in sunshine, especially to ships passing in the Bristol Channel. Giraldus Cambrensis, who toured Wales in 1188 refers to the location as Gouldclyffe" and describes it in Latin as "...glittering with a wonderful brightness". Character. Together with the neighbouring parishes of Nash and Whitson, it is one of "The Three Parishes" which have long been a unit – geographical, socially, economically and ecclesiastically. All three parishes are typical of the Caldicot Levels. At the highest tides the village lies below sea-level. The entire area is drained by a vast network of inter-linking ditches or 'reens'. A  main drainage ditch, with an origin near Llanwern, known as "Monksditch" or "Goldcliff Pill" passes through the village on its way to the sea. Local folklore maintains that the sides of the Monksditch are laced with smugglers' brandy. Fields are drained by low depressions running the width of the fields, known locally as "grips". The field area between grips is termed a "span" or "Spain". The grips drain into the "reens" which are slow-moving and in summer months are often stagnant. Reens run towards the sea where they empty between tides at a "gout". The levels of the reens  is controlled by means of a series of sluices or "stanks", separate boards in which may be raised or lowered to keep water levels high enough for livestock to drink. The faster flowing Monksditch carries water from more distant higher ground, above the level of the reens, some of which pass underneath the ditch by means of culverts. The south of the village is bounded by the foreshore of the Severn Estuary, which lies behind a tall concrete-faced sea wall, allowing for aboiteau-type cultivation. A number of groynes can be seen at low tide. History. Prehistoric, Roman, and  Medieval. A considerable amount of archaeology has centred on Goldcliff and the intertidal region of the coast near the village has attracted archaeological interest. Goldcliff has notable evidence of occupation by the Silures. Hidden in the laminated silts of the Severn estuary foreshore are 8,000-year-old (mesolithic) human footprints. A report, published jointly by CBA and Cadw, was produced by Martin Bell and colleagues. Bell was instrumental in the discovery of the mesolithic footprints and in 2004 his work at Goldcliff featured on Channel 4's archaeological television programme "Time Team". Further archaeological excavation has also been carried out  by Martin Locock and colleagues prior to the introduction of the Newport Wetlands reserve, for example at Hill Farm. In March 2020 Bell was featured, explaining the foreshore footprints, on the BBC One programme "Countryfile". Following gales and high tides in 1990, a total of eight Iron Age substantial rectangular buildings were discovered, over the course of several season's work, off the coast of the village. Radiocarbon dating dated the site to the second century BC. The buildings, which may have functioned as a short lived and specialised fishing site, were constructed from vertical posts bearing the marks of  iron axes. Timbers from the excavation, which was performed by St David's University College, Lampeter, have been conserved at Newport Museum. A connection with Roman activity was firmly established with the discovery near Goldcliff Point in 1878 of the inscribed "Goldcliff Stone" recording the work of legionaries on a linear earthwork, presumably a sea wall. Further evidence of occupation was found when ash pits were dug at Nash during construction of the Uskmouth Power Station. Goldcliff was originally owned by the native princes of Wales, but was taken from Owain ap Caradog (also known as Owain Wan) son of  the last king of Gwent, Caradog ap Gruffydd, by the Norman nobleman Robert de Chandos who, shortly before 1113, founded a priory there. The higher coastal parts of the area were certainly reclaimed by the late-11th and early-12th century when Goldcliff and Nash were granted to the Benedictine priory. Lower-lying areas inland were enclosed and drained by the 13th and 14th century. Goldcliff, as "Goldcliffe", and nearby Nash are two of the few villages to appear on the Cambriae Typus map of 1573. Goldcliff Priory. On the site of Hill Farm, situated on a prominent knoll of high ground , south of the village and next to the sea, stood Goldcliff Priory. Founded in 1113 as a subject house of the Abbey of Bec in Normandy, it passed during the fifteenth century into the control of Tewkesbury Abbey and then of Eton College. Other historic sites. A small enclosure on Chapel Lane to the north of the present parish church, is thought to hold the remains of an ancient chapel, probably connected with the Priory. Also located off Chapel Lane, the farmhouse and barn at Great Newra Farm are Grade II listed buildings. The quaint Congregational (later United Reformed Church ) chapel near the junction of the Sea Wall Road, built in 1840 and restored in 1900–01, is now a private dwelling, but was still active as late as the 1980s. Local industry and education. Goldcliff has long been associated with the tidal putcher fishing of salmon, which may well have had its origins with the Priory or even in Roman times. The technique used the so-called "putcher" basket traditionally made from hazel rods and withy (willow) plait, set out against the tides in huge wooden "ranks". The last main exponent of the art of wooden putcher-making at Goldcliff  was George Whittaker, although a working knowledge of the technique was also kept into the 1970s by Wyndham Howells of Saltmarsh Farm, the last full-time fisherman at Goldcliff. Deeds for Saltmarsh Farm for 1867–1918 are held by Gwent Record Office. The mixed school for the parishes of Goldcliff and Whitson was erected in 1872 for 60 children and in 1901 had an average attendance of 46, with a Miss Mary Edith Tomlinson as the mistress. Until it closed in July 1954, the school received an annual gift of £2 from Eton College. Kelly's 1901 Directory lists the  only private residence in the village as "The Moorlands", but has no fewer than 27 commercial concerns, mostly farmers, but also including a haulier, two fishermen, a female publican, a farm bailiff, a hay dealer, a mason and a shoe maker. The Directory also lists a Mrs Annie Louise Taylor as hotelier at "The Temperance Hotel". The hotel, situated at the end of the Sea Wall Road, was a well-known landmark as late as the 1950s. The Moorlands, a Victorian house built in 1870 for the Waters family, had a garden which included acacia, American oak, and Christmas strawberry . The church. The parish church of Saint Mary Magdelene has a well maintained churchyard with a beautiful tree arch canopy and many old gravestones. It is an ancient stone building in the Early English style and is located directly behind The Farmer's Arms public house. At the front of the churchyard are the remains of an ancient mounded cross. The first vicar was Roger de Holbrook in 1349 and church records are available from 1724. The church has a small brass plaque on the north wall near the altar, commemorating the Great Flood of 1607 when a storm surge  is thought to have swept along the Bristol Channel drowning 2,000 people. The plate, about three feet above ground level today at this point, marks the height of the flood waters. The estimate of financial loss is given as approximately £5,000 (£ in 2016). The tower contains one bell, recast by Taylors of Loughborough in 1969. The former vicarage for the three parishes, located in Whitson, is now a private dwelling. The minister for the Rectoral Benefice of Magor, which includes Magor, Nash, Undy, Llanwern, Wilcrick, Bishton, Llanmartin, Langstone, and Redwick, is based in Magor. Following interior re-decoration  in 2006, including the removal of the old pews and pulpit, a service of re-dedication was held on 4 February 2007 with the Bishop of Monmouth. The interior is now decorated with individually dedicated chairs and matching carpet. Amenities. Goldcliff is home to part of the extensive Newport Wetlands, opened in March 2000 as a mitigation for the loss of mudflats caused by the building of the Cardiff Bay Barrage. Parts of Goldcliff and Whitson together are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest SSSI. The Goldcliff Lagoons were created in the late 1990s and form the eastern end  of the reserve. Six species of wader nest here, including avocet, lapwing, little ringed plover, oystercatcher and redshank; the site is the only one in south Wales where avocet breed. The village pub is The Farmer's Arms, located close to the church. The village still has use of a communal parish room located in the Old School at the side of the Monksditch, which there forms the border with Whitson. The village is served by a public bus service (Route 63 – weekdays, twice daily) provided by Newport Bus. The local newspaper is the "South Wales Argus" which is published  in Newport. Goldcliff Community Council is a member of the Campaign Against the Levels Motorway (CALM) Alliance formed in 2006 by the Friends of the Earth Cymru. Goldcliff is a popular venue for sea fishing and birdwatching. There are tea rooms, with toilet facilities, at the seawall. Government. The area is governed by the Newport City Council and the Goldcliff, Newport community council. The village falls within the Llanwern ward of the Newport East parliamentary constituency. References.
