Democrats celebrate victory in governor’s race MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Democrats in Louisiana rejoiced as they reclaimed the governor’s mansion for the first time in eight years, while the state’s GOP leader insisted “our Republican brand is strong” even amid the defeat of a onetime political powerhouse, Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter. John Bel Edwards’ victory in Saturday’s runoff election was once-unthinkable in the conservative state and a stunning turn of events for Vitter, who started his campaign nearly two years ago as the race’s front-runner. With his 12-percentage point loss, Vitter announced he wouldn’t seek re-election to the Senate in 2016. See Democrats Page 6-A

Cantrelle elected new parish president

Raceland businessman Jimmy Cantrelle will serve as Lafourche Parish president for the next four years, defeating incumbent Charlotte Randolph in local races held Saturday. Cantrelle took 55 percent of the 22,285 votes cast, according to unofficial results. Cantrelle won with 12,267 votes to Randolph’s 10,018 votes (45 percent). It was Cantrelle’s fourth attempt for the seat. In Lafourche, 39.1 percent of 56,926 registered voters cast ballots. Randolph, a Republican and the first woman parish president in Lafourche who has served in the office since 2004, was seeking an unprecedented fourth term. Cantrelle, no party, led the Oct. 24 primary with 7,413 votes (33 percent). Randolph followed closely behind with 7,270 votes (33 percent). Randolph out raised Cantrelle 99-to1 in campaign donations before the runoff, bringing in $118,450 in direct contributions, compared to $1,200 for Cantrelle. Cantrelle has said his two top priorities

will be implementing a vigorous maintenance system for outfall canals and pump stations and reorganizing the permit department. In local council races, newcomer Corey Perrillioux defeated incumbent Lindel Toups for District 6, and Jerry Lafont was re-elected to District 8. Perrillioux, a Raceland independent, won with 1,303 votes (52 percent). Toups, a Gheens independent, received 1,225 votes (48 percent). Lafont, an independent from Cut Off, won with 1,288 votes (54 percent). Champagne, a Democrat, also from Cut Off, received 1,101 votes (46 percent). South Lafourche voters in the Tenth Ward renewed a 3.34 mill tax for operations at Lady of the Sea hospital in Galliano. The tax passed easily by a vote of 3,009 (69 percent) to 1333 (31 percent). The tax costs a Tenth Ward resident with a $100,000 home $8.35 a year. It raises about $2.2 million annually and makes up 8 percent

of the hospital’s budget. The tax will be collected from 2016 to 2025. Tenth Ward voters also renewed another 3.1 mill tax for Lafourche Ambulance Dist. 1, passing it by a vote of 2,972 (69 percent) to 1366 (31 percent). The tax costs a resident with a $100,000 home Jimmy Cantrelle $7.75 a year. It’s expected to bring in about $2 annually, about 56 percent of the district’s budget. Voters in parts of central and south Lafourche renewed a 0.9 mill tax for drainage operations and maintenance. Drainage District #1’s tax passed by a vote of 4,772 (71 percent) to 1,977 (29 percent). The owner of a $100,000 pays $2.25 a year towards the tax. It is expected to raise almost half a million annually.

The Lafourche Gazette will be closed Thanksgiving Day and open from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Friday, November 27.

Republican Billy Nungesser will take over as Louisiana’s lieutenant governor in January, after defeating Democrat Kip Holden in Saturday’s runoff election. The lieutenant governor’s runoff was a quieter competition than the governor’s race, with the two men trying to build off grassroots support and name recognition. Holden, the Baton Rouge mayor, is a former city council member and state lawmaker. Nungesser is the former president of Plaquemines Parish. Besides being second in line to the governor, the

Sheriff’s Office deputies conduct a checkpoint recently, checking motorists for seat belt use as well as other violations. Deputies will be conducting multiple checkpoints this week in an effort to keep highways safe around the Thanksgiving holiday. A seat belt checkpoint will be conducted during the daylight hours of Wednesday, Nov. 25, as well as on Thanksgiving Day – Thursday, Nov. 26. Another seat belt checkpoint will be conducted during the evening of Friday, Nov. 27, and a DWI checkpoint will begin Friday night, and continue into the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 28. During the seat belt checkpoints, deputies will be checking motorists for seat belt and safety seat violations, as well as other violations such as expired inspection tags.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal’s plan to rebalance the state’s budget and close a $487 million deficit received overwhelming support Friday from state lawmakers, who backed a stopgap approach that leaves hefty problems for Louisiana’s next governor. Members of the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget said they expected to face budget troubles again in only a matter of months, but they set aside those worries and said the governor to take office in January will need to address the state’s larger financial woes. “This is not a perfect plan. This kicks some things down the road again,” Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, said as he urged passage. “But at least it gets us through this crisis right now.” See Budget Plan Page 5-A

The Bayou Playhouse celebrates the holidays with a new twist on Charles Dickens’ old classic, A Christmas Carol

The Bayou Playhouse celebrates this holiday season with a new twist on Charles Dickens’ old classic, A Christmas Carol. This holiday family favorite about the cranky old miser, Ebenszer Scrooge will open at the Bayou Playhouse on Friday November 27 and will run through Sunday December 20. “This highly inventive adaptation of the Dickens story will be performed in the classical clowning style of Commedia dell’ Arte. We have dancers, singers, jugglers, mimes, clowns & an English bell choir,� said Director Perry Martin. “It’s a Bayou Playhouse holiday Christmas gift of wonder, laughter, awe and imagination for children of all ages.� In this retelling of the family holiday classic, the audience encounters a company of traveling players about to perform A Christmas Carol. As the on-stage trunk of supplies opens, actors and clowns spill out and roll on stage. The troupe improvises by creating an unbelievable magical world of make-believe. The players soon discover that the actors playing Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour; but the show must go on! The prop girl eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim while the cynical gruff stage manager must be forcibly drafted to play the old miser. The troupe proceeds to make their way through the Christmas tale - creating fog, snow, fire and ghosts through mime, imagination and wonderful visual effects. The rag tag players quickly become the characters of this story, and we are then pulled into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge. The Christmas Spirits work their magic and warm the heart of Scrooge, as well as the entire audience. Don’t miss this family friendly magical journey of Christmas miracles as sung, danced, mimed and juggled by the Halifax Theatre Company. In the featured roles are stage, film & television actors & Bayou Playhouse favorites, Dane Rhodes as Ebenszer Scrooge and Travis Resor as Marley’s ghost. Rhodes has appeared in previous Bayou Playhouse productions of Turtles & Alligators, Torn Page

& most recently as Captain Keller in last season’s sell out hit, The Miracle Worker. His numerous film credits include Django Unchained, The Free State of Jones with Matthew McConaughey & A Love Song for Bobby Long which he co-starred with John Travolta & Scarlett Johansson. Travis Resor is best known as Chet in the film Waiting & has appeared in numerous roles on the Bayou Playhouse stage such as Charlie Brown in last season’s holiday smash hit, A Charlie Brown Christmas. As well as Okra, A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Catfish Moon & Katrina, Mother-In-Law of Em’ All. Joining the veteran actors on stage is a cast of professional actors, singers, dancers, jugglers & mines from New Orleans & Lafourche & Terrebonne Parishes including Kate Paige (Thibodaux), Lexi Richmond (Larose) & Jillian Vedros-Rowan (Houma). This 15-member cast will feature visiting nationally acclaimed artists, clowns &

jugglers David Chervony & Chatty the Mime. The Bayou Playhouse is located at 101 Main Street in Lockport. A Christmas Carol will open at the Bayou Playhouse on Friday November 27 and runs through Sunday December 20. Tickets prices are $25 in advance online or $27 at the door. $17 for ages 12 & under. Performances run Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. with Saturday & Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. For ticket purchases, season subscriptions, corporate sponsorships or other information about the Bayou Playhouse, visit www.bayouplayhouse.com or call 1-888-99-BAYOU (22968).

US rig count declines by 10 this week to 757

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 10 to 757. Houston’s Baker Hughes said Friday that 564 rigs were seeking oil and 193 explored for natu-

ral gas. A year ago, with oil prices almost double the prices now, 1,929 rigs were active. Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Louisiana and Oklahoma each lost four rigs, Colorado and Wyoming each declined by three, West Virginia lost two and Ohio declined by one. Texas gained four rigs, Pennsylvania gained two and North Dakota increased by one. Alaska, Arkansas, California, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah were unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999. ___

“In a Small Pond” By Leroy Martin

Mrs. Jimmie Rodgers

If you’ve read my columns you know I’m a sucker for famous quotes from famous folks and I use one whenever it fits my column. Examples: From movies: “Here’s looking at you, Kid”, “I’ll be back”, and “Run, Forrest, Run”; from world leaders: “Nothing to fear but fear, itself”, “I Shall Return”, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”, and Paul Revere, who shouted, “Faster, you old nag, we got a nation to

save”, … I made that one up—-but here’s one that connects. In 1922, Egypt archaeologist Howard Carter, after searching for 31 years, discovered King Tut’s tomb. As he opened the vault he was asked: “Do you see anything?” “Yes”, he replied, “Wonderful things.” I had such a moment, not quit as monumentally, but on June 2, 1947, I opened a box mailed from

San Antonio, Texas, answering a letter I had written. As I nervously opened it, I too saw “Wonderful Things” which I can better describe with the title of one of Jimmie Rodgers’ greatest hits, “Treasures Untold”. It contained a letter from Mrs. Jimmie Rodgers, her 1935 biography of Jimmie, 8 autographed pictures he had signed in 1932, (she wrote “only 12 left” now), an old ticket and poster from a concert, a fan club booklet from 1929, (my birth year), and a 78 rpm record with his picture laminated on it. I’ll tell you the amazing story of this record next time; why only 100 were pressed and sent to her but never marketed. She had presented one each to Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow and Roy Acuff, and with this one for me she would only have 5 left and only 10 known to exist in the world. The others were lost

or stolen. As late as 1972 even the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, where Jimmie had been the first person inducted, did not have one. I’ll tell you how they got one. I carefully handled each article while tightly holding the box. To understand my emotions, just imagine your reaction had you received such a box from Pricilla after Elvis’ death. In his time Jimmie was as famous as Elvis, but unlike Elvis, he had been totally forgotten by 1947. That would change! Early next morning I got in touch with seven of my friends and had them pose by a phonograph holding an old Jimmie Rodgers record in one hand and his picture in the other. I boxed and mailed the pictures of our “Club”, pictures of Bayou Lafourche, and me, including one singing with the Dudley Bernard band. (I was not yet a member but told her I was singing a Jimmie Rodgers song although I really didn’t remember). I included other articles to fill the box, which of course paled in comparison with her gifts to me. Only the picture record, the biography and two of her letters survived the Hurricane Hilda flood of 1964. So began our correspondence that lasted for the rest of her life. In 1950, with little fanfare and not much expectation, RCA released an LP “Jimmie Rodgers Memorial” containing 12 of his greatest hits. To their

amazement it flew off the shelves, bought by old fans, new fans, fans who only knew the legend, and from fans from all over the world. His fame, legend and music was revived, but that would come later. The complete 105-song box set, 5 CD’s, is available on Amazon for under $25. Also in 1950, a new announcer, Jim Andrews, initiated a program on WBOK in New Orleans called “Hillbilly Jamboree”. To my delight he played a Jimmie Rodgers record on his program every day, most of which I had never heard since RCA

had not yet begun the reissues. Having worked in San Antonio he knew Mrs. Rodgers, (he called her Carrie), and one morning he called me, introduced himself and told me that Mrs. Rodgers was coming to visit him for an interview. She had given him my phone number for him to invite me to meet them at the radio station for lunch. I couldn’t believe my ears. What a way to start my day! Next week, I meet the great lady. Bye now!

Budget Plan

Jindal plan, while senators backed it 14-1. The votes gave the governor the green light to roll out the mix of cuts, patchwork financing and other maneuvers that will rebalance — at least for now — the $25 billion budget for the fiscal year that began July 1. “This proposal allows Louisiana to prioritize higher education. It allows Louisiana to prioritize public safety. And it allows Louisiana to prioritize its vulnerable populations,� said Commissioner of Administration Stafford Palmieri. Public colleges will be

Lawmakers didn’t heed calls from both candidates in Saturday’s runoff election for governor, Democratic state Rep. John Bel Edwards and Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter, to reject the deficit plan. Neither spoke at the committee hearing, though Edwards talked to some of his colleagues privately before the vote. Neither offered an alternative proposal. House committee members voted 19-6 for the

spared cuts. Mainly shortterm fixes will be used to close gaps temporarily. The “rainy day� fund will be tapped. A huge internal shortfall in the state Medicaid program won’t be addressed. And payments to some health care providers who take care of Medicaid patients will be delayed for two weeks, pushing those payments into next year. Lawmakers raised concerns about stripping $6.5 million from the state’s coastal restoration office in a state battling erosion and $46 million from the state’s transportation department amid a $12 billion backlog

of road and bridge work. But they also had concerns that if they rejected Jindal’s ideas, the alternative was to slash college campuses, which they had made a priority for protection. Rep. John Schroder, RCovington, refused to support the deficit elimination plan. “We’re just going to smoke-and-mirrors our way through this, and then we’re going to have to deal with this in the very near future,� Schroder said. “This clearly isn’t fixing anything.� The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office said the plan made $23 million in

actual cuts to state government operations. The rest of the list shuffled money around or pushed problems into the second half of the current budget year or the next budget year. Of particular concern to committee members was $126 million the Jindal administration described as an “anti-fraud� initiative in the state health department that postpones payments to health care providers by two weeks. Palmieri said that gives the department time to closely check for fraud — but the net effect, lawmakers noted, is the maneuver

pushes payments for services into the next budget year. “We’re not going to find $126 million in fraud. We’re just slow-paying the providers,� said Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge.

Democrats From 1-A

Edwards’ win offered a rare pick-up of a governor’s seat for Democrats in the conservative Deep South, but Republican leaders insisted it was a one-time fluke that didn’t suggest the GOP was on the ropes in Louisiana. Republican Party of Louisiana Chairman Roger

Villere pointed to victories for lieutenant governor and attorney general and gains in the state Legislature. “Make no mistake, Louisiana is a deep red state and our Republican brand is strong,” Villere said in a statement lamenting a “disappointing result in the gubernatorial race.” The Democratic victory was as much about Vitter’s flaws as a candidate as it was about Edwards’ strengths. Edwards painted the race as a referendum on Vitter’s character and suggested the U.S. senator didn’t measure up in such a competition. Edwards, who started the campaign as a little-known lawmaker from a rural parish, focused on his West Point degree and military resume, and he pledged a bipartisan leadership style. “The people have chosen hope over scorn, over negativity and over distrust of others,” Edwards said in his victory speech, before leading a second-line parade with a jazz band through the French Quarter hotel ballroom.

In the final days, Vitter sought to rally Republican voters by drawing policy distinctions with Edwards and making Syrian refugee resettlement an issue in the state campaign. But it didn’t work. “I’ve lost one political campaign in my life, tonight and ironically it’s the campaign and the political effort I am most proud of,” Vitter told supporters. The rebuke from Louisiana voters will create an open Senate seat for the 2016 election, as Vitter announced he wouldn’t seek re-election to Congress. Several Republicans already have said they’re interested in running for the position, including U.S. Reps. Charles Boustany and John Fleming, among others. Democrats were ecstatic as Edwards defied expectations that only a Republican could win statewide in Louisiana. He thanked supporters who “believed we could confound the conventional wisdom that this victory just couldn’t happen.” “It did happen,” he said. Rather than a race about the state’s deep financial troubles, the contest for governor largely became about Vitter, who has been in elected office, first as a state lawmaker and then in Congress, for more than 20 years. Vitter began the election cycle nearly two years ago as the clear favorite. He stockpiled cash for the campaign, dwarfing all competitors. And with a campaign operation that has helped him and his allies to steamroll opponents over the years, he appeared nearly unbeatable. But Vitter was hit with repeated attacks for a 2007 prostitution scandal in which he apologized for a “serious sin” after he was linked through phone records to Washington’s “D.C. Madam.” He had trouble uniting Republicans after a blistering primary competition in which Vitter trashed two GOP rivals and received heavy criticism for his scorched-earth political style. And his campaign was accused of ethical improprieties after allegations it secretly recorded political opponents. Vitter’s negatives with voters shot up in the polls. The U.S. senator also was hampered by high disapproval ratings for his fellow Republican, outgoing Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is

blamed for the state’s financial problems. “John Bel Edwards’ victory shows that Louisiana has turned the page on David Vitter’s scandals and eight years of Bobby Jindal’s failed economic policies,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. Edwards benefited from a primary in which he largely escaped attacks while the Republicans slammed each other. He capitalized on voters’ apparent unease with Vitter and built a campaign on personal integrity. In speeches, he pledged: “I will be honest with you. I will never embarrass you.” ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte at http:// twitter.com/melindadeslatte.

Nungessor From 1-A

lieutenant governor leads Louisiana’s Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and serves as the figurehead for the state’s $11 billion tourism industry. The job was open because Republican Jay Dardenne ran unsuccessfully for governor. Attorney General Buddy Caldwell won’t keep his job for another term. Republican challenger Jeff

Landry defeated the GOP incumbent, ending Caldwell’s tenure as Louisiana’s top lawyer after two terms. Landry, a one-term former congressman who received the endorsement of the state Republican Party, framed his entire campaign as a referendum on Caldwell’s performance in office. He accused the attorney general of corruption and cronyism in doling out state legal contracts to his campaign contributors. Landry and other Caldwell critics who ran attack ads against him called it a “Buddy system.” Caldwell talked of his experience after nearly 30 years as a northeast Louisiana district attorney. He said Landry had too little legal experience to run the state’s top law office.

Bye week brings change for sinking Saints BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Losing is becoming a way of life again with the New Orleans Saints, who haven’t spent a single regular-season week above .500 since 2013. Perhaps the fifth defensive coordinator in Sean Payton’s 10 years as head coach will improve New Orleans’ fortunes during their

final six games of 2015. But time is running short for the Saints, who are on an ugly two-game skid that dropped them to 4-6 heading into last weekend’s bye. “There are a lot of areas where we have to improve,” Payton said this week, when he fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and replaced him with sen-

sell his creations but he does take place in various carving shows and contests. One of his proudest carving moments was when he placed first in the New Orleans Carving Show just a few months before Hurricane Katrina ravished south Louisiana. His winning entry for the show was of a Ruddy Duck, in which the males are known for their sky-blue bill. Jerry is part of a group of carvers that promotes Cajun heritage, decoys, carving and keeping the age-old tradition thriving. The Cajun Heritage Club sponsors the Cajun Heritage Festival, which is entering its 40th year.

ior defensive assistant Dennis Allen. “We have six weeks that are important and are important to this team.” Allen was a defensive assistant during Payton’s glory years in New Orleans. He was part of the storybook 2006 team that made an unlikely run to the NFC title game in Payton’s first year — just one season after the club went 3-13 while displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Allen was the secondary coach on the 2009 team that won the franchise’s only Super Bowl. He left in 2011 to take over as defensive coordinator in Denver, then Oakland snapped him up as its head coach in 2012. But the Raiders job never panned out, so Payton gave Allen a job last offseason, allowing him to work alongside Ryan in an effort to shore up a defense that finished 2014 ranked 31st. The arrangement failed. New Orleans currently ranks last in the NFL in yards allowed per game (424.3) and points allowed per game (31.5). Quarterbacks have consistently had their finest outings against New Orleans — sometimes even in games the Saints won. Eli Manning had a personal-best six touchdown passes in a 52-49 Giants loss in New Orleans. Only Drew Brees’ career-high seven TD

tosses and a last-second field goal saved the Saints that night. In a 47-14 loss at Washington last weekend, the Redskins’ Kirk Cousins had the best game of his career, throwing for 324 yards and four touchdowns, producing a perfect QB rating of 158.3. A week earlier, rookie Marcus Mariota had a personal best overall game with 371 yards and four TDs passing with no interceptions and no sacks. Defensive end Cameron Jordan called the loss to struggling Tennessee “a complete blunder.” “There is nothing to be happy about, and at the same time guys know that we have to stick together as a family,” Jordan added. Roster upheaval, whether because of personnel decisions or injuries, appears to have hurt as well. At least in terms of production, the Saints have missed last season’s sack leader, Junior Galette, who was released because of what the team deemed troubling character issues, including an arrest in a domestic incident for which he was later suspended by the NFL. Dannell Ellerbe, who appears to be an upgrade at weak-side linebacker, has struggled with injuries. Top cornerback Keenan Lewis also hasn’t been healthy all season, missing several games with a hip injury and otherwise playing hurt. “It’s one thing if you have one guy go down, but it seems like we have some new injuries, some nagging injury that takes apart what we should have had,” Jordan said. Fellow cornerback Brandon Browner has struggled with coverage, with penalties and even with his emotions since arriving as one of New Orleans’ top offseason acquisitions. Last week, he

lost his composure on the field when he abandoned pursuit of a Redskins ball carrier so he could blindside an offensive lineman trailing the play. A week earlier, he cursed out reporters for asking teammate Jairus Byrd about a botched interception opportunity. All of those factors have made it difficult for Payton’s third-ranked offense to keep up. The good news for the Saints is that Brees remains in strong form at age 36. New Orleans has passed for 313.2 yards per game, which ranks third in the NFL. The running game hasn’t done as well, ranking 21st (101.3 yards per game), but running back Mark Ingram is having a solid season because of his ability to supplement the ground game by receiving short passes out of the backfield. He has gained 998 yards from scrimmage and scored five TDs. But even the Saints’ offense has endured untimely stints of stagnation, which has haunted New Orleans in several close losses. “I do not think that I

would say that there is a sense that everything’s OK. I think guys are smart enough to understand the situation and the expectations,” said right tackle Zach Strief, an offensive captain. “It’s like one week we show up and one week we don’t. That is not a way to be effective in this league.” ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

Upon motion by Griffin and second by Melancon, with no public comment, the board unanimously approved the minutes for September 10, 2015 regular meeting, September 14, 2015 special meeting and September 23, 2015 special meeting. Executive Director’s Report Northern Expansion – Engineer Joe Picciola reported Crosby Dredging is on site making the 4th pass for the Slip D Bucket Dredge.

Executive Director Chiasson stated the Chevron facility at the airport is now in operation. Port Security and Grant Projects April Danos reported we continue to process contracts for the Sustain & Maintain project. Joni Tuck stated that the Risk Mitigation Plan is complete. We had the presentation on Monday night. She thanked the partners in this project which are our tenants, Parish Government, Fire Dept., and the Ambulance Dist. for their participation in learning what priorities are needed which will drive our port security investments for the next five years. Melancon questioned how long it took to develop this plan, which Tuck responded 4 months. Other Projects – Engineer John Plaisance reported the Nerby Collins Commercial Marina Bulkhead is close to completion. The items remaining are to trim the sheet piles and do some electrical work. The Port maintenance department will install the top cap. Engineer Larry Picciola reported the N. J.

the bid of $331,255.00 from Professional Construction Services was extended until November for the Fourchon Bridge Helper Bent project in order to discuss with landowners and stakeholders. Chiasson stated it looks like it is all coming together with some funding from all stakeholders to help pay for this project. Picciola reported the Airport Road Paving project plans to start October 26th. Picciola reported we received bids on September 22nd for the Steel Mooring Piles in Bayou Lafourche and the recommendation is to award to Plaisance Dragline & Dredging for $146,000.

Update on LA 1 Projects – Boulet reported Segment C’s final plans are now 99% complete and are being updated to reflect the final specification requirements by the Corps relative to construction of the T-Wall in the levee in Golden Meadow. DOTD says the project remains on schedule for the February letting. In addition, LA DOTD is finishing up final plans for Phase 2E. The structural design is mostly complete, and DOTD is working on the electrical design. This is the segment which would be bid out after segment C bids are taken, if bids of Segment C are far enough lower than the $46 million that has been allotted for to allow the state to fund Segment E. In looking beyond Segment C in Golden Meadow, Boulet is continuing to meet with significant LA 1 stakeholders to request their participation in a Segment A industry match. The state will be receiving an updated construction cost estimate on all remaining segments, and the final report regarding the proposed design alternatives from the Value Engineer Study. Once received, they can decide how they would like to move forward with the final design of Phases 2A and 2B. Cheramie stated he has been getting feedback from oil companies that had enough with giving money for the project, which Boulet replied that he did contact stakeholders that participated in the first match if they would participate in a second match however he is looking at all options. Chiasson then recognized several candidates in the audience. Daniel Lorraine announced his candidacy for District #9 Parish Councilman. Joe Fertita announced his candidacy for Lafourche Parish President. Mike Fesi announced his candidacy for State Senate District#20.

Public notice LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (LDEQ) LOUISIANA BAYOU BITES, LLC / LOUISIANA BAYOU BITES DRAFT WATER DISCHARGE PERMIT

The LDEQ, Office of Environmental Services, is accepting written comments on a draft Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit prepared for Louisiana Bayou Bites, LLC, Louisiana Bayou Bites, 18076 Highway 3235, Galliano, Louisiana 70354. The facility is located at 18056, 18062, and 18076 Highway 3235 in Galliano, Lafourche Parish. Upon the effective date of the final permit, the LPDES permit shall replace the previously issued LPDES permits. The principal discharge from this existing source is made into local drainage, thence to Forty Arpent Canal, and thence to Catfish Lake, waters of the state classified for primary contact recreation, secondary contact recreation, and propagation of fish and wildlife. Under the SIC Codes 5147, 7033, and 7542, the applicant proposes to discharge meat cutting process wastewater, treated sanitary wastewater, and exterior vehicle wash wastewater from an existing RV park, small meat cutter, and car wash facility. During the preparation of this permit, it has been determined that the discharge will have no adverse impact on the existing uses of the receiving waterbody.

2021. That’s according to a news release from the school Monday. Nicholls has hosted the four-day summer football camp since 2005, annually attracting more than 1,000 high school athletes and

Don’t Get Stuck In The Cold This Winter!

over 100 coaches and counselors from the NFL, colleges and high schools across the country. Previously held each July, the 2016 Manning Passing Academy and future MPA camps will welcome campers June 23-26

to comply with NCAA recruiting regulations. High school quarterbacks, receivers, running backs and tight ends travel from all 50 states and around the world to learn football fundamentals from retired NFL quarterback Archie Manning and his three sons.

The Ducks Unlimited Varsity program began in 2005 and has since grown to 35 chapters. With no other Varsity chapters in Louisiana, South Lafourche High School became the first. On Wednesday, Dec. 9th, South Lafourche High School’s DU Varsity will

hold its 2nd annual banquet at the Larose VFW. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Anyone interested in purchasing a table or coming out to support the students, should call Club President Adam Gisclair at 985-696-1872 or 985-2094107.

PRAYERS

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going to battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves shall never die a sudden death or be drowned or shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy or shall be burned in any fire or shall be overpowered in battle. Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail so be sure you really want what you ask. Amen _________________________

Cut Off man convicted of fourth DWI offense Wednesday, November 25, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

A Cut Off man was convicted Thursday, November 19th for three offenses arising out of an April 2013 disturbance in South Lafourche. Anthony Lebouef, 36, was found guilty of fourth offense driving while intoxicated, public intimidation and aggravated flight from an officer after a three-day jury trial. “I thank the jury for their attention, their service and their verdict,� said Assistant District Attorney Heather Hendrix, who prosecuted the case. “Considering the facts of this case, it was fortunate that no one was injured.� A Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy initially made contact with Lebouef on West 21st Street in Larose as the officer responded to a complaint of a disturbance. When approached by the deputy, Lebouef refused to exit his vehicle and instead fled the scene, nearly striking the officer. The defendant then led the deputy on a highspeed pursuit through residential neighborhoods. During the pursuit, several other vehicles were forced from the roadway before Lebouef was eventually forced to stop. While the deputy processed the scene, Lebouef made comments

Converting a bear

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins, “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his first communion.� “I found a bear by the stream,� says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.� They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. “Looking back,� he says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.�

Louisiana payroll numbers shrink, flashing recession warning Wednesday, November 25, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

JEFF AMY Associated Press

Louisiana’s labor market slipped in October, as the unemployment rate rose and payroll employment fell. Payrolls fell 6,000 from September and, crucially, also dipped below last October’s level. That’s a warning that the state’s economy may be sliding into recession. It was the first time since November 2010 that year-over-year job totals fell. Both sets of figures, adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes, were released Friday by the U.S. Labor Department. A separate survey shows the jobless rate rose to 6.2 percent in October from 6 percent into September, remaining below October 2014’s 7 percent rate. The number of people reporting having a job fell for the fifth straight month, as the labor force continued shrinking. Much of the payroll decrease is being driven by a decrease in oil-and-gas jobs. Employment in the mining and logging sector, which is dominated by oil-and-gas jobs, has fallen by 8,900 since October 2014, a 17 percent decline. “If low oil prices continue, then we can expect to see greater impact on the state’s workforce, especially in areas dependent on the oil industry,” Curt Eysink, executive director of the

Two inmates charged after investigators thwart escape plot

Lafourche Parish prison Inmates Troy Benner, 49, and Treiston Pierron, 32, face new charges after investigators thwarted a plan to attempt an escape from the Lafourche Parish Detention Center On Tuesday, November 10, correction officers learned a handgun and a handcuff key were hidden inside a cellblock at the Lafourche Parish Detention Center in Thibodaux. During a subsequent search of the block, officers discovered the handcuff key as well as an object shaped like a handgun. The object was determined to be handcrafted to appear to be a handgun, but was composed of soap, toilet paper, and other materials, most of which are made available to inmates. Detectives opened an investigation and learned Inmate Benner was allegedly responsible for hand-crafting the object made to give the appearance of a firearm. They also learned he had obtained the handcuff key after a correction officer unknowingly dropped it. Investigators obtained evidence of an escape plot and learned Benner allegedly intended to use the object, as well as the handcuff key, to attempt to escape from the facility. They also learned Inmate Pierron allegedly had knowledge of Benner’s activities and assisted him in planning the escape attempt. Inmate Benner was arrested in July for armed robbery stemming from a February 2015 incident in Lockport. He was charged with attempted simple escape in this incident, and his bond has increased to $400,000. Inmate Pierron was arrested in August for simple arson stemming from a July 2015 incident, as well as numerous outstanding warrants for contempt of court. He is charged with assisting escape, and his bond has increased to $300,000.

Louisiana Workforce Commission, said in a statement. Louisiana payrolls rose in construction and were flat in professional and business services from September to October, but fell across other employment sectors. Many economists use payrolls as their top labor market indicator. The unemployment rate is calculated by a second survey asking how many people are looking for a job. Unemployment rates fell in 32 states in October,

rose in three, and were flat in 15. West Virginia, at 6.9 percent, had the highest unemployment rate among the states, while Louisiana’s rate was fifth-highest. North Dakota had the lowest, at 2.8 percent. The national unemployment rate fell to 5 percent in October from 5.1 percent in September. It was down from 5.7 percent a year ago. The number of unemployed Louisianans rose to 132,000, up more than 3,000 from September, but below October 2014’s level of 154,000. The state’s labor

force has been falling after peaking in May, meaning the number of people reporting jobs has been decreasing even as the unemployment rate and the total number of unemployed people have fallen. The broadest measure of those who are unemployed averaged 11.6 percent in Louisiana for the year ending in September, the most recent figures released. That includes people who look for work only sporadically, who have given up looking, or who work part time because they can’t find

a full-time job. Nationwide, that broad measure averaged 10.8 percent during the same period. ___
