La Medicaid to pay for breast-matching op after mastectomy

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Department of Health says women who need a mastectomy for cancer in one breast can now get coverage for plastic surgery in the other, so the two breasts match.

The department said in W a news release Thursday that expanded breast cancer coverage also will include tests for two genetic mutations that make people much more likely to develop breast cancer.

Coverage for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations will be available for people who have cancer or are at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer.

MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Only one of five top candidates vying for Louisiana’s open U.S. Senate seat Thursday backed Gov. John Bel Edwards’ push for litigation against the oil and gas industry for its role in eroding the state’s coast, while the others suggested the effort was the wrong approach to drum up billions for restoration projects.

Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell, a Democrat running with Edwards’ endorsement, supported the lawsuits and said Louisiana’s officials have refused to pressure the industry because of their own campaign interests.

“Politicians with tap dancing shoes on didn’t have the courage to ask the oil companies because the oil companies write big checks,” Campbell said at a forum focused on coastal land loss and restoration issues. “They ought to pay for what they damaged, pure and simple.”

U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, U.S. Rep. John Fleming and retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness, all Republicans, and Democratic lawyer Caroline Fayard disagreed that litigation was the best path.

“We’re not going to litigate our coast back into existence,”

Boustany said. He added that he would “issue real caution about chasing away the companies that are so important to our state.”

Maness said federally-constructed Mississippi River levees were to blame for Louisiana’s land loss and legal actions will only “make very connected lawyers very rich.” Fleming said the oil industry should have a role in helping fight erosion, but through grants and partnerships.

And Fayard said litigation is expensive and could drag out for years without offering money to combat erosion.

“It’s very easy for politicians and people to say, ‘Let’s just sue,’” she said. “Litigation’s expensive. It’s costly. It’s time consuming. And there’s no guarantees.”

Twenty-four candidates are on the Nov. 8 ballot for the seat that is open because Republican David Vitter isn’t running for re-election.

But only six contenders were invited to the forum hosted by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. Republican Treasurer John Kennedy didn’t attend; his campaign cited a scheduling conflict. Those who participated agreed Louisiana’s plan to battle coastal erosion is underfunded, but they had differing approaches about how to fill the gap.

Chère Tante Ca

Words of advice from a Good Ole Cajun Woman!

[Dear Aunt Ka-Me-La]

Dear Tante Camilla, I recently found out that my daughter is pregnant! I’m so excited! The only problem is, I think I’m too young to be called granny, mamere or maw-maw. What do you think of some of the newer names grandmas are being called like honey, gigi or mimi? I think I should be able to choose what to be called and my daughter thinks she should be able to choose what the baby will call me. What do you think?

Signed, Baby on the way Dear Baby on the way: Félicitations à vous! You must be very excitayed. I remember when ma fille had her first baybay. Such a happy time. I thought the baby would call me mamère like I had called my mamère but when he started talking he would call me moom, moom. Imagine that. It sounded like he was calling me the moon. My pauvre Clovis, rest his soul, would just laugh and laugh. To this day my petit boug still calls me his moom.

Anyway, bonjour, mes amis. This is Tante Camilla ready to give you some advice. So venez ici and écoutez.

I guess there’s nothing wrong with all those new names that people want to be called like honey and gigi but I don’t know what that means. In French, mamère means my mother so it makes sense to be called that because the baby’s mom is saying my mother.

Or grandmère means grandmother and that makes sense. You might confuse your grandbaby and make him think that you taste like some honey if he calls you honey. Tante Camilla is just kidding about that, beb.

Now about who gets to choose the name: I guess since it’s what the baby will call you, your daughter just needs to stop being a tête deur and let you decide. You need to like what you will be called after all. But at the same time, don’t get too stuck on a name because you never know what that baybay is going to start calling you. They have words that fill their head and

Angola Prison Rodeo every Sunday in October

Judge blocks enforcement of Louisiana stripper age limit

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a new Louisiana law aimed at keeping people under age 21 from performing in strip clubs.

U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier issued the order in a lawsuit filed last month by three anonymous women — ages 18, 19 and 20.

Backers called the law a tool to fight human trafficking. The women argue it violates their right to free expression, illegally deprives them of income and discriminates against them based on age and gender.

Barbier’s ruling, dated Friday, says a delay in enforcement pending further action would do no harm to the state, while immediate enforcement would cause “irreparable injury” in the form of lost income for the women.

Hearings have not yet been set in the case. ___

Vet: LSU’s tiger mascot has 1-2 months to live with cancer

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana State University’s tiger mascot has an estimated one to two months to live, now that a rare form of cancer has spread across its body, a school veterinarian said

Wednesday.

Dr. David Baker, of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, said a tumor found earlier this year in the tiger’s skull has grown despite radiation treatment. A CT scan and physical exam of Mike VI on Monday showed its cancer has spread to the base of its neck, its lungs and right leg.

Baker said Mike will be euthanized when the time comes, to prevent the animal from suffering.

Baker also said LSU has asked him to begin searching animal rescue facilities for a Mike VII. The 420-pound tiger was 2 years old when it arrived at LSU, donated by an Indiana animal sanctuary. It lives in a 15,000square-foot enclosure and yard next to Tiger Stadium.

LSU says Mike is one of only two live tiger college mascots in the U.S. and the only one living on a college campus.

Baker said LSU’s athletic department has covered the costs of Mike’s cancer treatment, but he said he didn’t have a dollar estimate. ___

Motorcyclist killed in Lafourche Parish crash

Raceland, LA – Shortly before 3:30 a.m. Friday morning, Troopers from Troop C began investigating a single vehicle fatality involving a motorcycle on LA 308 near Acorn Lane in Raceland.

The crash claimed the life of 44-year old Ross Callais of Thibodaux.

The preliminary investigation revealed Callais was traveling north on LA 308 on a 2015 Harley Davidson when he entered a left hand curve in the roadway. For unknown reasons, Callais traveled off of the highway and struck a tree. He sustained fatal injuries as a result of the crash. Callais was pro-

nounced deceased by the Lafourche Parish Coroner’s Office. He was wearing a DOT approved helmet at the time of the crash. ___

Police: Woman late for work lies about clown attacking her

READING, Ohio (AP) — Police say an 18-year-old Ohio woman lied about being attacked by a knifewielding clown as an excuse for being late for work.

Police in the Cincinnati suburb of Reading say investigators found inconsistencies in 18-year-old Alexsandra Conley’s story and charged her with making a false alarm, a misdemeanor.

WCPO-TV reports Conley said someone dressed like a clown jumped a fence Saturday, waved a knife at her and cut her thumb.

There have been several recent reports nationwide of people having frightening encounters involving clowns. A report last week of a clown grabbing a woman by the throat and threatening Reading schools led to classes being canceled for the day. ___

1.5M cubic yards of flood debris collected in Baton Rouge

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Officials say approximately 75 percent of the debris from the August flood has been collected from Baton Rouge and unincorporated areas of East Baton Rouge Parish.

The mayor-president’s office said Thursday in a news release crews have completed their first sweep of the city but will return to flooded areas a total of three times to try to collect everything.

Adam Smith, interim environmental services director, said officials believe the flood created 1.8 million to 2 million cubic yards of debris.

Galliano man appears in new movie

Galliano resident Micah LeBlanc stands next to his trailer on the set of the newly-released Deepwater Horizon movie. Micah was cast for a small part in the movie after a casting call came across his Facebook page that they were looking for oilfield workers.

After hearing his Cajun accent, Micah was cast to play the role of an incoming Sub Sea Engineer.

During two weeks of filming, Micah saw actor Mark Wahlberg and did a monologue with actor Kirk Russell.

“It was so real on the set you could have sworn you were on an offshore rig,” said Micah.

We hope these two students serve as a lesson to others that this type of behavior will result in criminal charges.”

Students reported the incident to the School Resource Officer at Central Lafourche High School.

Through investigation, officers learned both teens had each worn the mask at one point. They also found Defelice had posted a photo on Snapchat Tuesday morning of one of the two wearing the mask while riding in Defelice’s truck. The two were charged with one count each of wearing a mask in public. Sheriff Webre cautions that addi-

Raceland man convicted of obscenity

Glenn Thompkins, 40, of Raceland, LA, was convicted of Obscenity in violation of La.R.S. 14:106, after a one day jury trial that ended on September 20, 2016.

Evidence presented at the trial, established that on the evening of December 19, 2014, Thompkins, who was incarcerated at the Lafourche Parish Detention Center at the time, intentionally masturbated in the presence of a female deputy.

“Mr. Thompkins has been in and out of trouble for a long time. He knows what is and isn’t allowed in jail and he chose to act in a manner that was offensive to those around him. The laws need to be upheld even for people already in jail,” said Assistant District Attorney Ben Caillouet who prosecuted the case.

Formal sentencing is set for Thompkins on October 21st before the Hon. Walter Lanier, III, who presided over the trial.

tional charges could be possible in other cases depending on the circumstances. Still, if found guilty of violating R.S. 14:313, the two face a sentence of no less than six months in prison with a maximum of three years.

Lafourche Parish School District Superintendent Jo Ann Matthews stated, “Our school administrators will not tolerate any student causing a significant disturbance on our school campus.”

LPSO investigators are aware of several social media accounts purportedly opened by individuals posing as clowns with masks that appear sinister or menacing in nature.

Other states have reported

threats made regarding schools made by “creepy clowns” on social media, but there has been no such threat in Lafourche Parish.

Sheriff Webre warns that any threat of violence would lead to more serious criminal charges. “Clown or not, anyone making threats of violence to others in any form, including social media, will be investigated,” said Sheriff Webre. “We have a great track record of working with social media outlets to identify perpetrators, even when they open an account under anonymity. The bottom line is, we will find you, and you will be charged. We will not tolerate anyone terrorizing our community and especially our schools.”

Burning with love

John was in an accident and his face was badly burned.

The doctors couldn’t reconstruct his face with John’s own skin because he was so badly burned, but his wife said they could use hers. The doctor decided that the best skin to be used was from her butt. They took her skin and beautifully reconstructed Johns face.

After the surgery he looked better than ever! His entire family was amazed, but none of them ever learned where the skin came from; they assumed it was his own.

One night John was overcome with emotion so he began to cry and tells his

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd When is it morally legitimate to take another person’s life?

When the New York and New Jersey bomber, Ahmad Rahami, was questioned before his arrest, he pulled out a gun and shot an officer in the abdomen and later wounded another officer. The interesting thing about this arrest, the suspect has a gun, fired first, and was still taken in custody alive with only gunshot wounds to his legs and arm.

Compare this with recent shootings in Tulsa, Charlotte and El Cajon, California. It is not even clear whether these suspects had guns. Yet they were all killed. People have taken to the streets where these killings have taken to protest these fatal shootings by police officers.

These incidents, along with other high profile fatal shootings involving police in the past two years, have led some to ask the question – why do the police have to shoot to kill? Why not try to shoot to wound, instead? It worked with Ahmad Rahami; why not try to do it every time?

Guns are instruments of deadly force and should only be used when deadly force is absolutely necessary. They can be used to protect life when there is a threat to someone’s well being. A firearm can inflict

deadly force, and it should always be considered in that context.

To kill a human being, in whose image God is present, is a particularly serious sin. Only God is the master of life. Yet from the beginning of Christianity, faced with the many catastrophes in the lives of individuals and society, moral theologians have sought to give us a fuller and deeper understanding of what God’s commandment prohibits and allows.

How do we deal with God’s commandment “You shall not kill” and right of self-defense?

In the first centuries of the church, murder was considered among the three most serious sins – along with renunciation of the faith and adultery. A lengthy public penance was required by the repentant murderer before forgiveness and readmission to the church community would occur.

The right to protect one’s own life and the duty not to harm someone else’s life is difficult to reconcile in practice. The intrinsic value of life and the duty to love oneself no less than others are the basis of a true right to self-defense.

Legitimate defense is not only a right but a grave duty for those responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that any unjust aggressor be rendered incapable of causing harm.

Consequently, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to stop aggressors from harming the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.

The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing.

“The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one’s own life, and the killing of the aggressor … one is intended; the other is not.”

Maness brought the presidential race into the Senate forum, mentioning more than once his support for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

When asked about climate change, only Campbell directly linked the planet’s warming to man’s actions.

Fleming said “there’s still a debate and controversy” over man’s impact on global warming, while Maness described it as “a political talking point.”

Louisiana only has about $15 billion in revenue for a coastal master plan that tops $50 billion or more to combat land losses.

To increase the financing, Boustany said he’d push Congress to lift a cap on the money Louisiana gets from oil and gas drilling off its coast. Fleming offered a similar approach.

Maness highlighted his military background and said he’d seek additional money from Congress by pitching the land loss as a national energy security issue.

Throughout the forum, Campbell highlighted his backing of Edwards and his opposition to the policies of Republican former Gov. Bobby Jindal and Vitter. Fayard declared that irrelevant, saying the election is about the future and she offered a “new generation of leadership.”

“I’m not a fan of Bobby Jindal and David Vitter, but they’re not running in this election,” she said.

While Fayard talked of the need for a fresh perspective, Boustany repeatedly highlighted his 12 year-tenure in Congress, saying that helped prepare him for the Senate. Fleming also described his congressional tenure as important — but because he said he showed he was willing to fight the Republican and Democratic es-

mains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore, insisting on respect for one’s own right to life is legitimate. Those who defend their lives are not guilty of murder even if they are forced to deal the aggressor a lethal blow.

However, St. Thomas Aquinas also says, “If a person in self-defense uses more than necessary violence, it will be unlawful.

However, if he repels force with moderation, his defense will be lawful.”

In other words we should try to use every means possible to stop the aggressor with taking a life.

The recent incident in El Cajon is most troubling.

A woman calls the police and tells them that her brother is mentally ill and needs to be restrained. The police arrive and end up killing the man.

Killing a mentally disturbed person is not the way to win the confidence of the black or white community. So we have to ask, were all these acts of killing young black men by the police really self-defense or were they unlawful because they used unnecessary force?
