The “Fish the Bayou” event, the third year that the Dusty Richardel Memorial Foundation (DRMF) hosts the fundraiser, was held at the Larose Civic Center Saturday. Over 200 fishermen registered for the event which raises money to award scholarships to high school seniors who plan to embark directly into the blue collar work force rather than follow traditional university curriculums.

In the past two years, the Foundation has given scholarships to 27 local students totaling $35,000.

5,000-pound gumbo aims to establish Guinness World Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — For just the third time in 40 years, millions of Social Security recipients, disabled veterans and federal retirees can expect no increase in benefits next year, which is unwelcome news for more than onefifth of the nation’s population.

They can blame low gas prices. By law, the annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is based on a government measure of inflation, which is being dragged down by lower prices at the pump.

The government is scheduled to announce the COLA — or lack of one — on Thursday, when it releases the Consumer Price Index for September.

Inflation has been so low this year that economists say there is little chance the September numbers will produce a benefit increase for next year.

Prices actually have dropped from a year ago, according to the inflation measure used for the COLA. “It’s a very high probability that it will be zero,” said economist Polina Vlasenko, a research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. “Other prices — other than energy — would have to jump. It would have to be a very sizable increase that would be visible, and I don’t think that’s happened.”

Congress enacted automatic increases for Social Security beneficiaries in 1975, when inflation was high and there was a lot of pressure to regularly raise benefits. Since then, increases have averaged 4 percent a year.

Event to benefit Relay for Life and CASA of Lafourche Parish

Two years ago, the state of Alabama took the world record for the largest pot of gumbo ever made from Louisiana. However, that pot was never officially certified by Guinness World Records, the worldwide authority on recordbreaking achievements.

On November 7, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., a team of volunteers and local Louisiana chefs will bring the record for the “World’s Largest Gumbo” back home to Louisiana.

The size and authenticity will be immediately adjudicated and certified by an onsite representative from Guinness World Records.

The record attempt will be made by cooking 5,000 pounds of gumbo in a single pot. That is 2½ TONS of gumbo under the BP Pavilion

located on the grounds of Larose Regional Park and Civic Center.

Entrance to the event and a bowl of gumbo is free to the public, so bring the entire family and be part of the “Eating Team” as we break the Guinness World Record for the largest pot of gumbo ever made!

But what is gumbo on an LSU/Alabama Saturday without the game? No problem! Watch the football game on the 30 ft. screen provided for you football fans and cheer LSU on to victory.

It’s all day fun for the entire family. There will also be hamburgers, hotdogs, soft drinks and games for the kids, as well as, beer and daiquiris for the adults available for purchase.

NCAA: LSU RB Fournette can auction jersey for flood victims

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU’s Leonard Fournette can auction the purple No. 7 jersey he wore in Saturday’s game against the Gamecocks and donate the proceeds to South Carolina flood victims.

Fournette made history in the jersey by becoming the fastest to reach 1,000 yards in a season at LSU, which has played football since 1893.

Fournette said he’d give up the jersey for auction if it was allowed. He is a New Orleans native whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina a decade ago.

The NCAA quickly erased questions about whether it would be a violation and said on its verified Twitter account that Fournette would be permitted to offer the jersey for charity.

LSU treated South Carolina like the home team after severe flooding forced the game to be moved to Tiger Stadium. LSU won 4524. ___________

US rig count declines by 14 this week to 795

HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. this week declined by 14 to 795.

It was the sixth consecutive week of declines.

Houston’s Baker Hughes said Friday that

605 rigs were seeking oil and 189 explored for natural gas. One was listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, with oil prices about double the prices now, 1,930 rigs were active.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma lost six rigs, Texas declined by four and Kansas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania each dropped by one.

Colorado gained one rig.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999. ___________

Statewide patient engagement campaign underway

The ‘Your Health in Your Hands’ campaign launched Aug. 1, making Louisiana the first state in the nation to pioneer a direct-to-consumer campaign that engages patients and families in the use of health IT. A key component of the campaign is its website, www.makemyhealth.me, where Louisiana residents can find valuable information and resources designed to engage them in their health and health care.

La. Common Core test results ‘roughly comparable’ to past

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s education chief says student performance on new, more rigorous standardized tests aligned to Common Core standards was “roughly comparable� to results from tests used in the past.

However, math performance was lower. And the percentage of students who show what state officials currently consider “mastery� of their subject matter is low: It ranges from 22 percent to 40 percent depending on the grade level and subject.

Monday’s release of test results came a day before the state education board is to decide on a grading scale to determine what score constitutes proficiency in subject matter — levels ranging from “unsatisfactory� to “advanced.�

Superintendent John White is urging the board to approve scoring levels consistent with other states using the Common Corealigned tests developed by the PARCC organization. ___________

Church gives pizza driver $1,000 tip from collection plate

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (AP) — A suburban Columbus church congregation ordered a pizza from Domino’s during a service, then tipped driver more than $1,000 that had been collected for the offering.

The driver, who said her name was Natasha, brought the $5.99 pizza to the Sycamore Creek Church in Pickerington on Oct. 4. Rev. Steve Markle brought her onstage and asked her the biggest tip she’d ever received. She said about $10.

That’s when Markle told her that the teaching at the church has been about being generous, so the congregation had taken up an offering for the driver, who broke into tears.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the congregation, which draws about 500 to 600 people each week, was wrapping up a sermon series on “I was Broke. Now I’m Not.�

Costs of Jindal’s state police security detail has doubled

Wednesday, October 14, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The cost of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s security detail has doubled to more than $3 million since the Republican governor entered office nearly eight years ago, but the Louisiana State Police says the hefty price increase isn’t largely driven by Jindal’s frequent travel.

Protective services for the governor cost just under $1.5 million in the 2007-08 budget year when Jindal first took office. The price tag rose to $3.1 million in the 2014-15 year that ended June 30, according to data provided to The Associated Press.

State lawmakers have complained about taxpayers footing the bill for Jindal’s trooper bodyguards as the governor increased his outof-state trips, seeking to raise his national profile and readying for a GOP presidential campaign he announced June 24.

Col. Mike Edmonson, the superintendent of state police, acknowledged that Jindal’s frequent travel boosted some costs for the state police bodyguards who have hotel, flight and car rental expenses they wouldn’t have otherwise. “The bottom line is when he goes, we go. That’s what we’re mandated to do,� said Edmonson, a Jindal appointee. “He’s still governor. It doesn’t matter if he’s in-state or out of state.�

However, Edmonson said the growing price tag for the Jindal family security detail shouldn’t be blamed on travel.

He noted state troopers received a sizable pay raise, averaging 20 percent, over the last year that he said accounted for much of an $830,000 growth in salary and benefit costs for the protective services detail over the last year alone.

“I’m seeing more of an increase because the troopers’ rate of pay has gone up,� he said.

Lawmakers raised the salaries again this year, though that second pay hike wasn’t reflected in the security cost data because it didn’t take effect until July 1.

Benefit expenses for troopers also have increased in recent years, and the costs of protecting Jindal’s three children, as they’ve grown older and their afterschool activities increased, also have swelled, said Maj. Doug Cain, a state police spokesman.

The price tag of travelrelated spending — on taxis, flights, hotels and car rentals — have fluctuated yearly, costing taxpayers a total of about $643,000 over all eight years Jindal’s been in office.

According to the state police data, those expenses reached a high of more than $98,000 in the 2011-12

3-A

budget year, when Jindal was traveling for Republican candidates and being talked about as a possible vicepresidential contender.

Those costs are edging up again. Travel-specific spending for the governor’s state police bodyguards neared $98,000 in the last budget year. Edmonson expects them to be larger this year, because of Jindal’s White House bid.

The governor’s been away from Louisiana twothirds of the days since kicking off his campaign, mainly in the early voting state of Iowa, according to an AP tally based on campaign event announcements.

Jindal hasn’t refunded the state for any trooper expenses related to campaign trips.

Lawmakers sought to ban the state police from paying for the governor’s security detail to travel for campaign events in this year’s budget. Jindal vetoed the attempt.

“In a Small Pond”

5-A

Revolutions per minute and “Due Bills”

By Leroy Martin

My friendship with Hal Benson continued through 1954. As my mentor he taught me broadcasting tips on editing and reading news coming over the Associated Press teletype 24/7, doing remote broadcasts, cueing, handling and playing records which were the main commodity and product of KTIB, the “Voice Of The Golden Delta.”

(FYI: In 1954 records were still 10-inch, 78 revolutions per minute (RPM) hard plastic discs which were very breakable.)

Ernest Tubb had started a mail order record shop in Nashville, which nearly went broke when most arrived broken. He was saved by the introduction of the 45-RPM 7-inch and the 33-RPM long playing (LP) vinyl disc which became the standards by 1957.

The 45-RPM had a big hole in the middle into

which an adapter called a spider with a small hole had to be inserted.

From 1953 to 1956, all records, including Lafourche Parish’s Vin Bruce, were issued as both 45’s and 78’s. By 1958 the 78 had joined the Edison Cylinder in the phonograph museum. No, I don’t remember the cylinder but the first one palyed “Mary had a little lamb”.

These changes proved expensive to collectors like me because by 1964 I had bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, (that is … borrowed and not returned), over 3,000 78-RPM records.

In 1964 Hurricane Hilda fused them together into one giant round block.

My Bob Wills, Jimmy Davis, Jimmie Rodgers and Rex Griffin 78 collections were gone but I bought them again when they were issued on 33 LP, then cassette, then 8-Track and fi-

nally, I hope, CD (compact disc).

Back at KTIB my part time job became busy as Hal brought me to the remote broadcasts of high school football games as his color announcer, a sidekick who would comment between plays about the band, cheerleaders, the crowds and little dogs loose on the field.

I was terrible, and I gave it up because in my youth my nights and weekends were filled playing music, not sports. All I knew was that for my team, a touchdown was good, an interception was bad and in baseball, a home run was good, a strike out, bad. That was the extent of my sports knowledge. Hal acquisitioned.

Every Friday after work I would dutifully pick up 2 quarts of beer or sometimes a half-pint of vodka and join him at the station playing guitar with Hal on the bongo drum, sometimes until his fingers bled as we sang, sipped and talked. Hal often talked about his brother, George and I believed I might have been his surrogate. Hal was only 3 years older than me.

He also talked about his father Albert Bensebat, who died very young and how that would probably be his fate. At the time my job, my band and my radio program were all successful and I was too full of the “joie de vivre” to have such thoughts, but I failed to no-

tice a dark cloud hovering above, I often wondered why Hosea Hill never charged me for the bar tab. I never asked, but Hal would often phone Mr. Hill racing results from the AP teletype and would announce on the air the bands playing at the Sugar Bowl Lounge that night.

That’s when I learned about “Due Bills”.

Trading by an exchange of commodities is called bartering and values of those exchanges are kept in statements called “Due Bills”.

It was so common in radio that it was sometimes negotiated between an owner and manager as part of the salary. Example: $100 worth of radio commercials was exchanged for motel rooms or a bar or grocery tab.

I never knew or asked if that was the case but knowing both Mr. Block and Mr. Benson as fair businessmen, I assumed it was.

Next week I’ll tell you how, with the help of Hosea Hill, Hal and I skirted segregation laws to listen and watch, in comfort from the kitchen, acts that would become nationally famous, including Ray Charles, Lloyd Price, Little Richard, Fats Domino and especially Mr. Hill’s protégé Eddie “Guitar Slim” Jones.

Social Security

From 1-A

Only twice before, in 2010 and 2011, have there been no increases.

In all, the COLA affects payments to more than 70 million Americans.

Almost 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get Social Security benefits.

The average monthly payment is $1,224.

The COLA also affects benefits for about 4 million disabled veterans, 2.5 million federal retirees and their survivors, and more than 8 million people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor. Many people who get SSI also receive Social Security.

Carol Mead of Montrose, Pennsylvania, said she and her husband were counting on Social Security COLA to help them with their finances. “My husband is working just so we can pay our bills,� said Mead, a retired land-use administrator. “He’s 70 years old, and he’s still working in a stone quarry. He’s told me a number of times that he

thinks he’s going to have to work until the day he dies.�

More bad news: The lack of a COLA means that older people could face higher health care costs.

Most have their Medicare Part B premiums for outpatient care deducted directly from their Social Security payments, and the annual cost-of-living increase is usually enough to cover any rise in premiums. When that doesn’t happen, a long-standing federal “hold harmless� law protects the majority of beneficiaries from having their Social Security payments reduced.

But that leaves about 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries on the hook for a premium increase that otherwise would be spread among all. Those who would pay the higher premiums include 2.8 million new beneficiaries, 1.6 million whose premiums aren’t deducted from their Social Security payments, and 3.1 million people with higher incomes.

Their premiums could jump by about $54 a month; the jump could be more for those with higher incomes.

States also would feel a budget impact because they pay part of the Medicare premium for about 10 million low-income beneficiaries.

All beneficiaries would see their Part B annual deductible for outpatient care jump by $76, to an estimated $223. The deductible is the annual amount patients pay before Medicare kicks in. “This would affect all beneficiaries,� said Tricia Neuman of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “This kind of an increase is unprecedented.�

Senate Democrats have introduced legislation that would freeze Medicare’s

Experience Makes a Difference!

Part B premium and deductible for 2016, but its prospects are uncertain.

White House spokeswoman Katie Hill said: “We share the goal of keeping Medicare’s premiums affordable, and are exploring all options.�

By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.

The COLA is calculated by comparing consumer prices in July, August and September each year with prices in the same three months from the previous year. If prices go up, benefits go up. If prices drop or stay flat, benefits stay the same.

The numbers for July and August show that, overall, consumer prices have fallen since last year.

Fuel prices are down by 23 percent from a year ago, according to the August inflation report. But prices for some other goods and services, such as health care and housing, are up.

Advocates argue that the government’s measure of inflation doesn’t accurately reflect price increases in the goods and services that older Americans use. “The COLA is determined by the buying power of younger working adults,� said Mary Johnson of The Senior Citizens League.

Many advocates for seniors want Congress to adopt an experimental price index that seeks to capture the inflation experienced by Americans 62 and older.

The Social Security Administration estimates it would increase the annual COLA by an average of 0.2 percentage points — which still might not be enough to generate a COLA for next year.

Lee Marshall of Greenville, California, said the current inflation index isn’t good enough. “They have a formula that they use that doesn’t reflect the actual cost of living,� said Marshall, 68, a retired laborer and casino dealer. “Just because the price of gas is going down, that doesn’t mean anything.� ___ Associated Press writer Ricardo AlonsoZaldivar contributed to this report.

Meadow, adding rubber padding around the playground equipment, three lighted tennis courts and a basketball court.

The club also awards scholarships to students from South Lafourche High School attending Nicholls State University – currently there are four students at NSU on a $3,500 scholarship.

The Rotary Club also served over 1,000 meals to residents, power crews, and National Guardsmen after Hurricane Isaac.

Yearly, two SLHS students are awarded scholarships to a team building session for upcoming youth leaders (RYLA-Rotary Youth Leadership Award). At risk, lowincome children at local schools are given backpacks filled with food for the family once a month.

The club also donates money, books, and their time to local schools. As a show of support for the local Golden Meadow Police Department, the club recently purchased body armor for all the GM policemen. The club also purchased throat mics and radio buds for state officers to keep them safe in the line of duty. This year, the GM police department will

The Rotary Club of Golden Meadow participates in numerous international projects. They have built water wells in Haiti and Jamaica; finished buildings in a Uganda orphanage, sent books to Honduras, Haiti, Jamaica, and Africa, and have raised and sent funds to help eradicate polio across the globe. Since Rotary began this project, the cases of polio have decreased from nearly 1,000 per day to 40 cases per year!

Everyone is invited to join in the festivities at the Golden Meadow Park this Saturday, October 17 to eat their fill of shrimp, buy something from the auction and dance to great music.

The Tarpons dominated Morgan City from start-to-finish on Friday night, using balanced offense and a dominant defensive effort to an easy 34-2 victory.

South Lafourche outgained the Tigers 299-147 in the win, which was the opening of district play for both teams.

With the win, South Lafourche is now 3-3 on the season. Tarpons coach Dennis Skains said he was proud of the way his team played after suffering a tough loss in Week 5 against Plaquemine.

The loss drops Morgan City to 4-2 on the year.

“We’re happy with the win,” Skains said. “Hats off to Morgan City. They’re a good team. They’ve won four games for a reason.

They came in here ready to

go, but I thought we did a good job doing enough to win. It was sloppier than we wanted at times, and we have to keep getting better if we want to keep winning.

But we took care of business and got a good win tonight, so now we keep moving forward.”

Moving forward was something Morgan City’s offense didn’t do much of on Friday night.

South Lafourche’s defense pitched a shutout against the Tigers’ runbased offense on Friday, continually bottling up the run and forcing the team into long passing situations.

Morgan City got the ball first and punted after three plays. After a failed fake punt attempt, South Lafourche cashed in a short field on a one-yard touchdown run from sophomore tailback Corbin Allen to go up 7-0 with nine minutes left in the

Scotty is thankful for the guidance from other carvers in the Cajun Heritage Club and is especially thankful to Carl Danos and Robby Matherne for being so helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of carving.

“I am a very easy-going person and carving is a great, stress free hobby. I’d definitely encourage others to give it a try,” he said.

first quarter.

After the teams swapped a couple of punts, South Lafourche got on the move again midway through the second quarter – a long drive capped by a 31-yard touchdown run from quarterback Jaydon Cheramie. After a missed extra point, South Lafourche led 13-0.

Cheramie was a terror to Morgan City on Friday night, completing 9-of-18 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed 11 times for 64 yards and two scores.

“He’s gotten so much better and comfortable throwing the football,” Skains said. “We wanted to get him going tonight, and he did a nice job. He hooked up with our receivers a lot and played one of his best games of the season.”

At the end of the first half Morgan City got on the scoreboard when the Tigers sacked backup quarterback Nicholas Williford in the end zone for a safety to make the score 13-2.

But the Tigers fumbled the ensuing safety punt, and South Lafourche made them pay just before halftime when Cheramie completed a long touchdown pass to Chandler Lafort.

After Brannon Lee’s extra point, the Tarpons led 202 at halftime.

The second half of Friday’s game moved quickly with the Tarpons in firm control. Cheramie made the score 27-2 midway through the third quarter on a 12-yard touchdown scamper.

The final score of the game came at the beginning of the fourth quarter on a pass from the quarterback to senior Kyle Angeron, who had four catches for 40 yards on the night.

The Tigers tried to rally, but had no luck offensively against the mean South Lafourche defense.

“We did a good job,” Skains said. “They like to run the ball in the middle and on the outsides and we bottled it up. We didn’t let them get into space much, which is exactly what we wanted to do.”

The Tarpons will take on Vandebilt next Friday in Houma. ___

Trojans fall in tough tilt at Thibodaux

Central Lafourche battled rival Thibodaux every step of the way for three quarters and a few minutes on Friday night.

But in the final 10 minutes of the game, it was all Thibodaux and the Tigers used a powerful running game to earn their fourth-straight win.

The Trojans trailed the Tigers just 20-13 going to the fourth quarter in a close, hard-fought game that looked like it could have gone either way.

But Thibodaux’s powerful running game broke through in the last quarter, as the Tigers scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to secure a 41-20 win.

The Tigers and Trojans are now both 4-2 on the season.

“You can’t fault the effort. Our kids played hard,” Central Lafourche coach Keith Menard said. “Thibodaux’s a good team and they just made more plays than we did at the end of the game and it turned out to be the difference.”

The two parish rivals played a tough, physical game on Friday night.

The Tigers struck first with a touchdown from halfback Donnell Adair early in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead.

Adair was ridiculously good on Friday night, rushing for 250 yards and four touchdowns.

“He’s a load,” Menard said. “He’s a heck of a football player.”

“He did a Leonard Fournette impersonation,” Tigers coach Chris Dugas added.

Adair scored for a second time at the end of the first quarter to put Thibodaux on top 14-0 heading to the second quarter. But after that score, the Trojans held their own and got back into the game.

The Trojans made the

score 14-7 before halftime on a short run from Andrew Griffin. Out of halftime, halfback Nelton Allen made the score 14-13 on a six-yard touchdown run with nine minutes left in the third quarter.

But Adair was just too much. He used a 73-yard touchdown run to put Thibodaux on top 20-13, then scored again early in the fourth quarter to push ahead 27-13.

The final blow came when Seth Boudreaux put Thibodaux on top 34-13 with an interception that was returned for a touchdown – a score that sealed the outcome.

Both teams traded touchdowns late with the outcome not in question.

Central Lafourche’s brutal district schedule will continue next Friday at unbeaten Destrehan – one of the best teams in the state.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) — Zach Conque ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 163 yards and another score as Stephen F. Austin came from behind to pick up its first victory, a 28-24 win over Nicholls on Saturday.

Stephen F. Austin (1-5, 1-3 Southland Conference) trailed throughout until Conque ran it in from the 1 with 26 seconds remaining for the final score.

SFA’s Germod Williams forced Joel Dullary to fumble on the ensuing kickoff and Ahmad Muhammad recovered at the Nicholls’ 3 to secure the win.

Nicholls (0-5, 0-3) held a 21-7 lead at the half.

Trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter Conque broke for an 18-yard scoring run with 9:14 left and then led a 13-play, 84-yard drive for

the winning score.

SFA’s Loren Easly rushed for 148 yards and one touchdown.

Tuskani Figaro threw for 148 yards and one score for Nicholls.

Saints say they’re sticking together as losses mount 2-B

Wednesday, October 14, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

BRETT MARTEL, AP Sports Writer

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — New Orleans Saints veterans and coach Sean Payton appear committed to putting a brave face on a 1-4 start that has the Saints a lot closer to irrelevance than anything else.

“There are a lot of young guys with a lot of hope. There are a lot of older guys that see that there are bright spots,” defensive end Cameron Jordan said Monday. “We’re playing with passion and we’re playing our butts off.

“At the same time, we’re not capitalizing on plays that we should,” Jordan added. “We’re missing some minor details and that is something that you can’t be proud of. Going forward, we have the chance to rectify a lot of this.”

As “minor” as the Saints’ missed details might be, collectively they are causing major problems. And New Orleans has

just a few days before hosting unbeaten Atlanta on Thursday night.

If the Saints lose that game, they’ll be off to their worst start since Payton took over in 2006.

Twice before, in 2007 and 2012, the Saints have started 1-4. Both seasons, they finished 7-9 and out of the playoffs.

The only victory the Saints have this season came in overtime, at home, against an injury-decimated Dallas squad that has lost three straight.

Before this week, at least, the Saints could argue that they were competitive in their first three losses against Arizona, Tampa Bay and Carolina.

But Sunday, they lost 39-17 to a Philadelphia team that also came in at 13, and the Eagles’ margin of victory easily could have been much wider. The Eagles virtually moved the ball at will, racking up 519

yards, but Sam Bradford threw two interceptions in the Saints’ end zone in the first half, which prevented Philadelphia from pulling away earlier.

The last of New Orleans’ two touchdowns in the game, and the last 80 of their 338 total yards, came on the final possession of a lopsided game, accomplishing little more than helping some members of New Orleans’ offense pad stats against a defense that no longer had a reason to play with urgency.

Even Jordan conceded “nothing is misleading” about the Eagles’ wide advantages on the stat sheet or the scoreboard.

“It’s definitely a critical time,” Jordan said. “That is something that you can’t stress enough.”

As the season comes closer to slipping away, it begs more questions about whether major changes are afoot in New Orleans.

Barring an extension, the contract of 36-year-old quarterback Drew Brees will expire after next season, and his salary cap figure of about $30 million in 2016 could be more than the Saints are willing to absorb.

Receiver Marques Colston injured his right shoulder Sunday and it’s unclear how long he’ll be sidelined.

Meanwhile, Payton sounded annoyed that speculation he could wind up coaching elsewhere next season has gained traction on sports talk shows and NFL commentaries.

“You ignore half of that stuff and obviously dismiss it,” Payton said. “Our players aren’t distracted by that. The focus of our team is dead square on getting better.

Speculation about coaching moves “happens when you’re in Year 10 and you’re not having success.

There’s this, ‘Well, is there another job he’d be interested in,’” Payton continued. “So my point is, if you predict that every year, at some point, someone’s going to be right.

“I love it here,” Payton added. “You get tired of answering the questions. I’ll say what I’ve said before.

This is where I see myself.”

Payton said he talks to players all the time about “tuning out the noise” and not letting it become a distraction to their more immediate task of improving as players and winning games. Running back Mark Ingram said he is confident the Saints are doing just that.

“All we have is each other,” he said. “Everybody else is going to talk bad about us and criticize us, but all that matters, if we’re going to do anything good, is that it’s between us. We will all have each other’s backs and we’re trying to push each other through it.” ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

LSU coach encouraged by passing game progress BRYAN LAZARE, Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — No. 6 LSU and eighthranked Florida both will likely have a Harris behind center when the unbeaten Southeastern Conference teams clash at Tiger Stadium on Saturday.

While there will be questions about how well Gators backup Treon Harris will fill in for suspended starter Will Grier, LSU coach Les Miles is starting to get some answers about how competent his passing attack can be with first-year starter Brandon Harris.

Because South Carolina was able to contain star running back Leonard Fournette for much of last Saturday’s game, LSU needed more production Harris — and got it. He completed a career-high 18 passes on 28 attempts for a career-best 228 yards and two touchdowns. The passing game was the reason LSU took a 17-10 lead into halftime.

“If teams stack up on Fournette, the opportunity to score in the air will be there,” Miles said. “If there are a lot of guys in the box, there will be the opportunity to make the throw.

Brandon is beginning to understand the position.

Quarterback is all about control. It is a much more cerebral position.”

Fournette finished with 158 rushing yards, but that was a season low for him and more than half came on an 87-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Outside of that carry, Fournette picked up just 71 yards on 19 attempts.

The Tigers actually had more passing yards (135) than rushing yards (103) in the first two quarters against South Carolina.

Harris was a perfect 5-of-5 for 93 yards in the second half when LSU wore down the Gamecocks defense with its deep running back corps.

“We knew the whole

week with the coverage South Carolina was playing we were going to have to be sharp,” Harris said.

“They’ve got a four-man rush, so you’ve got to hold the back and just let those windows open up.

“That game didn’t do anything for my confidence. These coaches have a lot of confidence in me.

We haven’t trailed until this game, so there hasn’t been really a need to throw the ball. We don’t need to say we need to pass the ball more. We’ve done everything we had to do and we’re 5-0.”

LSU’s offense looks like it could be exceedingly hard to stop if its passing game performs well. Fournette has cracked the 1,000-yard rushing mark in just five games. Freshman backup Derrius Guice led the Tigers with 161 yards rushing against South Carolina.

“The performance we had Saturday against an SEC team is going to open some eyes,” said wide receiver Malachi Dupre, who caught a career-best six passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. “They will realize we can be balanced. Opponents do respect our passing game because they know the capabilities of Brandon and

our receiving group.”

LSU entered its game against South Carolina averaging an SEC-worst 95.5 yards passing per game, and the Tigers’ numbers through the air against the Gamecocks stood in stark contrast to their totals a week earlier in a victory over Eastern Michigan, when Harris finished 4-of-15 for 80 yards, in part because of several drops by receivers.

“Just because we had a good performance (against South Carolina), we can’t let it sit in our heads,” Dupre said. “That’s just like how we couldn’t let a performance like (the previous week), which wasn’t a good one, sit in our heads. We have to keep improving.”

Meanwhile, Miles downplayed the Gators’ change at quarterback, which was confirmed Monday when Florida officials announced that Grier failed a drug test. Grier has said the test results stemmed from his use of an over-thecounter supplement.

“I assume they will still have a very capable guy,” Miles said. “I would expect that their core plays will be the same. That will not change. We will prepare in the same way.”

US government deports fewest immigrants in nearly a decade ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration deported fewer immigrants over the past 12 months than at any time since 2006, according to government figures obtained by The Associated Press.

Deportations of criminal immigrants have fallen to the lowest levels since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, despite his pledge to focus on finding and deporting criminals living in the country illegally.

The overall total of 231,000 deportations generally does not include Mexicans who were caught at the border and quickly returned home by the U.S. Border Patrol. The figure does include roughly 136,700 convicted criminals deported in the last 12 months. Total deportations dropped 42 percent since 2012.

The Homeland Security Department has not yet publicly disclosed the new internal figures, which include month-by-month breakdowns and cover the period between Oct. 1, 2014, and Sept. 28. The new numbers emerged as illegal immigration continues to be sharply debated among Republican presidential candidates, especially front-runner Donald Trump. And they come as Obama carries out his pledge from before his 2012 re-election to narrowly focus enforcement and slow deportations after more than a decade of rising figures.

The biggest surprise in the figures was the decline in criminal deportations.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson last year directed immigration authorities anew to focus on finding and deporting immigrants who pose a national security or public safety threat, those who have serious criminal records or those who recently crossed the Mexican border.

The decline suggests the administration has been failing to find criminal immigrants in the U.S. interior, or that fewer immigrants living in the U.S. illegally had criminal records serious enough to justify deporting them.

“With the resources we have ... I’m interested in focusing on criminals and recent illegal arrivals at the border,” Johnson told Congress in April.

Roughly 11 million immigrants are thought to be living in the country illegally.

Obama has overseen the removal of more than 2.4 million immigrants since taking office, but deportations have been de-

clining steadily in the last three years. Removals declined by more than 84,000 between the 2014 and 2015 budget years, the largest year-over-year decline since 2012.

The Homeland Security Department has been quick to attribute the steady decline to changing demographics at the Mexican border, specifically the increasing number of immigrants from countries other than Mexico and the

spike in unaccompanied children and families caught trying to cross the border illegally in 2014.

The majority of the children and tens of thousands of people traveling as families, mostly mothers and children, came from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

The Border Patrol historically sends home Mexican immigrants caught crossing the border illegally, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement must fly home immigrants from other countries. That process is more expensive, complicated and time-con-

suming, especially when immigrants fight their deportation or seek asylum in the United States.

Arrests of border crossers from other countries also dropped this year, along with the number of unaccompanied children and families. As of the end of August, the Border Patrol arrested about 130,000 immigrants from countries other than Mexico, about 34,500 unaccompanied children and roughly 34,400 people traveling as families.

More than 257,000 immigrants from countries other than Mexico were ap-

PRAYERS

HURRICANE PRAYER To avert storms & hurricanes Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. Calm the storms and hurricanes that threaten us and turn our fear of your power into praise of your goodness.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen _________________________ PRAYER FOR ADDICTION God of life, You made me in Your perfect image, to live in Your love and to give You glory, honor and praise. Open my heart to Your healing power. Come, Lord Jesus, calm my soul just as you whispered “Peace” to the stormy sea. St. Jude, most holy Apostle, in my need I reach out to you. I beg you to intercede for me that I may find strength to overcome my illness. Bless all those who struggle with addiction. Touch them, heal them, reassure them of the Father’s constant love. Remain at my side, St. Jude, to chase away all evil temptations, fears, and doubts. May the quiet assurance of your loving presence illuminate the darkness in my heart and bring lasting peace.

The next classroom course will be offered Saturday, October 24 through Sunday, October 25. The course will begin with the classroom portion on Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lafourche Fire District #3 Galliano Station, located at 17462 West Main Street in Galliano.

Are you worried about your financial situation?

For the eighth consecutive year, the American Psychological Association (APA) identified money as the number one stress trigger, with 72 percent of Americans reporting stress about money and nearly 1 in 5 saying they had skipped or considered skipping going to the doctor due to financial concerns.

As for relationships, almost one third of adults with partners reported that money is “a major source of conflict.”

The following are common money stresses, and tips to tackling them.

You’re just one paycheck away from financial disaster. The Corporation for Enterprise Development’s recent Assets & Opportunity Scorecard reported that over 40 percent of American households are “liquid asset poor”, meaning that they have less than three months of savings to help them absorb a financial shock like a

Tip: Build an emergency fund. After learning how to budget (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting), building an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) is the next essential step in financial planning.

Saving and investing for other goals are equally important, but they should follow the creation and annual review of a healthy emergency fund.

You’re lost financially. A 2014 survey by economists from George Washington University and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania states that only 30 percent of Americans could accurately answer three basic personal finance questions dealing with savings and investment returns. Respondents from other major developed countries – including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Australia – scored roughly the same.

It’s a global problem.

Tip: Identify your biggest financial problems.

Does every dime you make go toward paying bills? No savings or investments? No emergency fund? Once you’ve identified your main

money habits or a qualified financial advisor who can help you see where you stand, establish realistic goals and restart your financial education.

You’ll never catch up.

Bankrate.com’s March Financial Security Index said that nearly half of Americans aren’t saving enough for emergencies or retirement. Only a quarter of middle-class households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 were savings champs, putting away more than 15 percent of their income.

Tip: Forget the past and begin today. Start by figuring out where you stand financially. Then address your expenses and whether there’s an opportunity to boost your income so you can make up for lost time.

Your money troubles are putting your closest relationships in jeopardy.

Money issues affect all relationships, but couples can be hit the hardest by money secrecy or so-called “financial infidelity.”

Tip: Face the music.

Get qualified advice, quantify the extent of the problem, make a plan and share the details face-to-face with loved ones or business partners who need to know. Assume you won’t be able to control their response, so focus on solving the problem and vow to end your secretive behavior for good.

You can’t face financial paperwork. When you can’t face bills, statements and other financial calls or communications, it generally reflects financial uncertainty in some form.

Tip: Get help. Pull the information together and get help if you need to. Put payments and other financial decisions on a paper or digital calendar with reminders to act.

Bottom line: Fear about money issues can affect your health and relationships. Diffuse that stress through education, assistance and positive action to improve your financial future outlook.

The most important thing to know about spaying and neutering is that it saves lives. In every community in every state, there are animals sitting in shelters waiting for homes. Only about half of those dogs and cats will ever get one. The other half will be euthanized.

Each year, about 3.7 million animals are euthanized (American Humane Association). Five in 10 dogs and 7 in 10 cats in shelters are euthanized simply because there is no one to adopt them.

Redneck Obituary

A woman from the deepest South goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is written. The obit editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word.

She pauses, reflects

and then says, “Well, then, let it read, ‘Billy Bob died’.”

Amused at the woman’s thrift, the editor says, “Sorry ma’am, there is a 7 word minimum on all obituaries.”

Only a little flustered, she thinks things over and in a few seconds says, “In that case, let it read, ‘Billy Bob died - 1983 truck for sale.’”
