'''Malcolm Paul Hébert, Sr.''' (October 25, 1926 – September 23, 2006), was a [[Mechanical engineering|mechanical engineer]] who served from 1973 to 1977 as the last commissioner of streets and parks<ref>In [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]] and in other cities with the city commission government, the commissioner exercises both legislative and executive duties, on the city council and as a department head. This position should not be confused with a county commissioner, most of whom were and still are elected in single-member districts. County commissioners are the "legislators" of a county (called parish in Louisiana), with the [[county judge]] normally in the role of the "executive" head of the county. In Louisiana, the executive of the parish can be the police jury president, the president of the parish, or a parish "administrator", depending on the structure of the parish government. City commissioners could not be chosen on a district basis, as their administrative duties affected the entire city. [[African American]]s were not then elected to city government in most parts of the American South. Soon an outcry in the [[Civil rights movement]] raised legal challenges to the city commission governments.</ref> in [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]], [[Louisiana]], a citywide elected position which was in 1977 with a change in the municipal charter.
==Background==
Hébert was born in [[Monroe, Louisiana|Monroe]] in [[Ouachita Parish, Louisiana|Ouachita Parish]] in northeastern Louisiana, one of three children of Maxime Paul Hébert and the former Linda Talbot. He had two sisters, Maxine Hébert Meadows of Alexandria and Betty Hébert Thompson of [[Lake Charles]], Louisiana. The family soon relocated to Alexandria, where he resided for most of his life.<ref name=bio/> In 1943, he graduated in the top third of his class from the [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholic]]-affiliated [[Holy Savior Menard Central High School]], then known as '''Menard Memorial High School'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Menard_Memorial_High_School_Menardian_Yearbook/1944/Page_55.html|title=Menard Memorial High School ''Menardian'' yearbook, p. 55|publisher=e-yearbook.com|accessdate=June 7, 2014}}</ref> There, Hébert was a drum major and played [[American football|football]]. After high school, he became an [[Apprenticeship|apprentice]] [[machinist]] for the since dis-established [[Missouri Pacific Railroad]], in which capacity he joined the [[International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers|International Association of Machinists]] [[Trade union|union]]. Soon he enlisted in the [[United States Navy]] near the end of [[World War II]] and volunteered for [[submarine]] service on the ''[[USS Ling (SS-297)|USS Ling]]'', which was operational from 1945 to 1946. Hébert studied in the Naval Diesel Training School in [[Gulfport, Mississippi|Gulfport]], [[Mississippi]], and the Submarine School in [[New London]], [[Connecticut]].<ref name=bio>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20060925/OBITUARIES/60924002/Malcolm-Paul-Hebert |title=Malcolm Paul Hébert, September 24, 2006 |publisher='The Alexandria Daily Town Talk'' |accessdate=June 7, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20140607150350/http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20060925/OBITUARIES/60924002/Malcolm-Paul-Hebert |archivedate=June 7, 2014 |df= }}</ref>
==Career==
After the war, Hébert studied engineering, first at [[Louisiana State University]] in [[Baton Rouge]], where he was initiated into Sigma Chi fraternity, and then at the University of Louisiana [[Lafayette, Louisiana|Lafayette]], then named '''Southwestern Louisiana Institute''', from which he graduated. He played first base on the 1950 SLI Gulf States Conference [[baseball]] team, a league since dismantled. Thereafter, his interest in sports never wavered. For more than a quarter century, he was a member of the Louisiana Football Officials Association. He coached the American Legion baseball team in Alexandria and was twice named coach of the All-State Softball team. Following a [[stroke]] in 1981, he continued coaching mentally handicapped children at St. Mary's Residential Training School in Alexandria, a Roman Catholic institution originally established in 1954 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alexandria in under Bishop Charles Pasquale Greco (1894-1987).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stmarys-rts.org/history-of-st-marys-residential-training-school/ |title=St. Mary's Residential Training School History |publisher=stmarys-rts.org |accessdate=June 7, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714204108/http://www.stmarys-rts.org/history-of-st-marys-residential-training-school/ |archivedate=July 14, 2014 |df= }}</ref> In 1985, his teams from St. Mary's garnered the state championships in tee ball and [[softball]]. He was involved too in Dixie Youth Baseball and Softball. He was heavily involved too when his son and three grandsons played football for Our Lady of Prompt Succor Elementary School and then Menard High School.<ref name=bio/>
As an engineer, Hébert was cited for his design of a practical, cost-effective system to re-line water and sewer pipes, an innovation used first in his native Monroe. For more than twenty-five years, he was treasurer and vice president of Roland Construction Company, Inc.,<ref name=bio/> which was established in Alexandria in 1960 but is since inactive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bizapedia.com/la/ROLAND-CONSTRUCTION-COMPANY-INC.html|title=Roland Construction Company, Inc.|publisher=bizapedia.com|accessdate=June 7, 2014}}</ref>
In the spring of 1973, Hébert unseated [[O'Hearn Mathews|O'Hearn Lawrence Mathews]] to win the streets and parks commissioner position.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://law.justia.com/cases/louisiana/supreme-court/1972/261-la-850-0.html|title=''Bonnette v. Karst''|publisher=law.justia.com|accessdate=June 7, 2014}}</ref> Mathews was an experienced politician, having previously been the Alexandria city [[marshal]] and in 1962 the first president of the newly formed Louisiana City Marshals and City Constables Association.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lamarshals.org/imgs/By%20Laws.pdf|title=Louisiana City Marshals and City Constables Association, Organized April 8, 1962|publisher=lamarshals.org|accessdate=June 7, 2014}}</ref>
On the council, Hébert served alongside [[Mayor]] [[John K. Snyder]], who was also the commissioner of public safety and sanitation, and Arnold Jack Rosenthal, the last of the Alexandria commissioners of finance and utilities. All were [[Democratic Party|Democrats]]. At times, he and Snyder made two-to-one decisions overruling Rosenthal, even regarding appointments in Rosenthal's own department of his executive assistant, the late Floyd W. Smith Jr., the former mayor of [[Pineville, Louisiana|Pineville]], Louisiana. Snyder and Hebert in 1974 joined to dismiss Smith despite Rosenthal's heated opposition.<ref>Bret H. McCormick, Floyd W. Smith, Jr., former mayor of Pineville, dies at 77, ''The Alexandria Town Talk'', February 12, 2010.</ref>
As commissioner, Hébert exercised both executive and legislative functions through supervision of his department and as a member of the three-person city council, all of whom were elected on an at-large basis. He supervised the repair and upgrading of municipal streets and sewer operations, encouraged youth sports programs, and worked to expand Alexandria Zoological Park, then a small facility begun in 1926. Located adjacent to Bringhurst Field, the zoo has since been enlarged to attract thousands of visitors annually from throughout [[Central Louisiana]]. He once cared for several abandoned lion cubs and a monkey in his own home.<ref name=bio/> As commissioner, Hebert in 1974 hired Les Whitt as the director of the Alexandria Zoo, a position in which Whitt achieved great success in a 34-year career.<ref>"Alexandria Zoo Director Les Whitt dies"''The Alexandria Town Talk'', August 17, 2008, p. 1.</ref>
After the city charter was switched to the mayor-council format, Hébert became the first director of the revised city department of public works under Carroll Edwin Lanier,<ref>Cynthia D. Jardon, "Former Alexandria Mayor Carroll Lanier dies at 86", ''The Alexandria Town Talk'', accessed December 5, 2012.</ref> the first mayor elected after the demise of the [[city commission government]] and a former finance and utilities commissioner. Hébert left the post in 1951 after four years of service. At the age of fifty-five, he sustained a life-altering [[stroke]],<ref name=bio/> which required caregivers for the remainder of his life.<ref name=pathebert/>
==Personal life==
Hébert was known for his wit, strength, smile, and use of unusual, pithy nicknames given to friends and associates.<ref name=bio/> He was married until his death for more than fifty-five years to the former Mary Patricia "Pat" Morgan (July 29, 1930 – November 13, 2010), a native of [[New Orleans]], who was reared in Mamou in Evangeline Parish in South Louisiana and in [[Port Arthur, Texas|Port Arthur]], [[Texas]]. The two met at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Mrs. Hébert was an assistant director of the Title V Employment Program and the director of the Rapides Parish Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. She retired after twenty-one years with the [[nonprofit organization]], the Rapides Council on Aging and received the Governor's Legacy of Achievement Award.<ref name=pathebert>{{cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetowntalk/obituary.aspx?n=mary-hebert&pid=146638981#sthash.3I1mIyGO.dpuf|title=Mary Hébert (1930-2010)|publisher=''The Alexandria Town Talk''|accessdate=June 7, 2014}}</ref>
