Jindal budget links college financing to uncertain proposals

New development to provide upscale housing in gated community

Shooting fundraiser …

Ulysses Gisclair Contributing Writer

MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal’s budget hasn’t eased concerns that Louisiana’s colleges could face steep cuts next year because the proposal relies on financing plans that appear far from certain to gain passage with lawmakers.

Much of the funding Jindal proposes to pay for higher education, $372 million, is dependent on the scale-back of certain tax break programs, which would need legislative approval. Businesses already are pushing back on a sizable portion of that recommendation.

Another slice of financing totaling $211 million would require lawmakers to sift through a list of moneygenerating ideas that aren’t included in the budget or offer other ideas of their own.

The dollars would need separate legislative approvals.

If lawmakers and the governor don’t settle on ways to raise annual revenue streams, higher education faces a worst-case of losing up to $583 million in state financing next year — more than 63 percent of the state general fund money it receives this year.

Commissioner of Higher Education Joseph Rallo said he trusts the cuts won’t be that deep and damaging. Asked to describe the implications if such cuts happened, he said the “worst-case scenario is insufficient to continue the operations at many institutions.”

The Shooting Da Crap clay shooting competition held Saturday and sponsored by Joe’s Septic Contractors, has generated nearly $70,000 during the past three years, with nearly $40,000 raised last year alone.

Money from the event is donated to Give Kids the World and the Center for Pediatric Therapies.

Delta Queen steamboat sold to local businessman

Outside workers coming to South Lafourche in the future may look forward to living in a safe, comfortable community.

A 14-acre property along LA Hwy. 3235, adjacent to the post office in Golden Meadow, will be converted into a rental community for long-term corporate leasing for employees. For now the community is expecting to cater to various companies that have employees at Port Fourchon along with physicians from area hospitals.

Larry and Karen Thigpen from Monroe will be the investors developing the property that is currently being handled by Janet Rhodus with Omni Realty Advisors. Janet says that the community, named Dore Pré, will be a unique addition to South Lafourche. It will by no means be like a bunkhouse or a hotel, which each come with their own set of problems.

“There are bunkhouses and living quarters in Lafourche Parish and a huge concern is the crime surrounding those areas. That’s why we want to have a gated community, because we want to keep that crime out of the community,” said Rhodus. “We will need to know who’s living there and we will do criminal background checks.”

Vessel will head to Louisiana for repairs and renovations

The legendary Delta Queen steamboat, which began passenger service in 1927 and operated out of New Orleans from 1986 until 2008, may once again ply the rivers of America after a recent purchase by a local businessman.

Cornel Martin, a former executive with the

BUSINESS Spotlight

Delta Queen Steamboat Company who is from Golden Meadow, recently purchased the vessel with a group of other investors.

The boat has been operating as a dockside hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee since 2009.

The boat has been unable to sail since an exemption allowing it to sail expired in 2008. As an aged wooden structure, the vessel no longer met certain U.S. Coast Guard requirements to ply United States waters. In a statement released by the new company, Martin said it is expected that exemption can be put back in place.

Lady of the Sea’s After Hours Clinic a popular and convenient choice for local residents

The South Lafourche community now has a convenient walk-in clinic location during evenings and weekends for medical care of minor illnesses, injuries and infections. Open 7 days a week, Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the After Hours Clinic is located at 186 West 134th Street, directly across from the hospital’s Emergency Room.

In the spring of 2014, Lady of the Sea conducted a community assessment where they asked members of the community for input on their health needs and opportunities for improvement. The input was then prioritized and Lady of the Sea seriously considered the different ways they could impact the health and wellness of the South Lafourche community.

“The number one recommendation that came out of all of our community assessment small groups was the serious need for some type of after-hours care for the non-emergent medical needs of our community,” said Karen Collins, RN, CEO of Lady of the Sea General Hospital.

In fact, some of the direct quotes

from participants included, “should be a top priority” and “local residents have nowhere else to go after hours except the ER.” The new Lady of the Sea After-Hours clinic opened on Monday, January 5, 2015, and began seeing patients as soon as the doors were opened.

“From day one, the clinic has been well received by our community,” said Tad Lafont, RN, Chief Clinic Officer for Lady of the Sea General Hospital. “Patients are both happy and excited to have this service available. Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants provide patient care within the clinic in collaboration with Lady of the Sea physicians. Many of these providers work within our Family Medicine clinics and are available for follow up appointments.”

Patients experience minimal wait times. The clinic is a walk-in clinic, so no appointments are necessary, and multiple exam rooms are available for patients to receive care.

The clinic provides convenient care for common illnesses, injuries and infections, such as ear infections, fever, cuts

“In a Small Pond”

By Leroy Martin

World War II, Part 1 Starting a war as this one, the most destructive, barbaric and inhuman in the history of the world, all because of one evil, mad, psychopathic monster that the world laughed at until it was too late, or in my case a few pecks on a computer keyboard, and it begins.

In 1941, we only received a newspaper on Sunday, so it surprised us when Dad brought one home early one Monday morning with a big black headline that read … WAR! Mom began to cry, sister Betty stole the comic section (called the “Funnies” then) and ran to her room, and at age 12, I made the stupidest remark of my life: “I know about war from the movies and for 1 and ½ hour, it’s crash, boom, bam and our side always wins.

No big deal!”

My mother frowned and dad struck me on the shoulder … hard!

I later learned Mom’s concern … the draft. Dad was over draft age with

three dependents, but having lived through WWI at age 8, she knew that as war progresses, draft age goes up and dependents matter less, and if it lasts long enough, well she always worried about me, too.

As I arrived at school that morning, Principal Leonard Miller was gathering everybody into the auditorium where a big cabinet radio was blaring. It was the day after Pearl Harbor and President Franklin Roosevelt was delivering his historic speech declaring to the nation that: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy, a state of war has existed between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan”.

I HEARD IT LIVE! Two days later Hitler also declared war on us.

The first peacetime draft had passed Congress, by one vote, and some of our local boys had already been called into the service.

Take a map of Louisiana, draw a line from

Cajun Banking Where Experience Counts!

Newspaper headlines declaring war on Japan

Marksville in the north to Lake Charles in the west, then east to Boothville and back to Marksville, and within that triangle and despite its diversification by 1941, it would always be identified as the “Cajun Nation” where our ancestors first settled and where lived a religious, hardworking people who loved their country, neighbors and friends.

That’s still us!

How did we fare out during WWII? Less we for-

get, I hope to answer some of those questions in my next few columns. There are not many left who remember, and we grow fewer every day.

World War II was on and our government assured us that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would protect America from an invasion. But we knew of an ‘ocean’ less than 20 miles away, where, on a windy day we could feel and taste the salty air blowing our way from our own Gulf of

Mexico.

Would that ‘ocean’ also help protect us … or not?

I wrote in a past column about how not too long after Pearl Harbor an oil tank exploded less than 900 feet from my 7th grade classroom, breaking windows and knocking students off their chairs.

Sabotage was suspected and that and other events brought the war closer to home.

My father had quite trawling during the $8.50 strike of 1938, and was working for Golden Meadow Oil Company, delivering gas and oil to stations and boat docks in the area. He often told us rumors he heard that strange things were happening just off of Grand Isle.

He knew that his brothers, cousins and friends, being Cajuns, could sometimes stretch the truth, but just about one week later he had to make an emergency delivery to the Bayou Rigaud dock and told me to

Are you reaching for the right pain medication?

(StatePoint) The use of opioid painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycontin is on the rise and this trend is taking its toll. Opioids account for 46 deaths each day in the United States — more than any other drug.

Is your pain medication the best option for you? Depending on the type of pain you’re experiencing, and the duration of your expected treatment, the answer may be “no.”

“Surprisingly, opioids are not very effective pain medications, and they can also have serious side effects,” says Dr. Donald Teater, M.D., medical advisor to the National Safety Council.

Acute pain includes dental pain, back pain, renal colic pain (kidney stones), sprains and fractures. What may be surprising to some is that studies show a combination of over-the-counter acetaminophen and ibuprofen is more effective at relieving acute pain than opioids.

Not only are opioids less effective than NSAIDs

The effects of your painkiller medication may be worse than the pain you’re actually treating.

Take steps to treat pain as safely and effectively as possible.

(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) in particular instances, but they also are associated with more serious side effects. Some lesser-known side effects of opioids include gastrointestinal bleeding (more frequently associated with NSAIDS), rapid development of addiction, changes to the brain and cognitive abilities, driving impairment, increased risk of disability and decreased sex hormones.

The elderly need to be particularly wary, as elderly adults taking opioids are at greater risk of having a car-

diovascular event, have four times as many fractures than their counterparts not taking opioids, and have an 87 percent greater risk of dying.

If you’re prescribed an opioid pain medication, consider discussing alternatives with your doctor, particularly if you’re treating acute pain. Taking the minimum dose for as short a time period as possible

“Since opioids are often abused illicitly, it is good practice to lock your medicine cabinet and dispose of any leftover medications properly when your course of treatment is over,” says Dr. Teater. “Drug take back programs are the safest, most environmentallyfriendly way to clean your medicine cabinet.”

Parkway upsets Central Lafourche in Class 5A State Playoffs Gazette Sports Report

Fundamentals abandoned the Central Lafourche boys’ basketball team when it needed them the most – the opening round of the Class 5A State Playoffs.

The Trojans missed countless layups and couldn’t buy a free throw throughout the duration of Friday night’s playoff game against Parkway, which was played in Mathews.

As the mistakes piled up, Parkway took advantage, using balanced scoring and efficient defense to walk away with a 62-55 win.

The outcome ends Central Lafourche’s season with a 24-6 record. Though the team’s playoff run ended sooner than the team would have hoped, the 2014-15 season was still historic for the Trojans.

The team won its first district championship in several seasons and set the foundation for prolonged future success, according to coach Mark Sanders.

“There’s no question the year was a success for us,� Sanders said. “We were disappointed with the end, but we had a great run.

Winning district was really big for us, and I think that our program did great things as a whole. Our freshmen had a great season. Our JV had a great season. I think that we put ourselves in a position this season to get back here in the future.�

But against Parkway, the Trojans ran into a bit of a buzz-saw.

The Panthers got off the bus hot, using offensive balance and hot shooting to take an 18-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Bossier City-based high school lost a little bit of its grip in the second quarter, but still was able to stay on top, going into halftime with a 33-30 lead.

Juwan Johnson led Parkway with 16 points, while Artayvious Lynn pitched in 15. The Panthers got contributions from its

5-A

entire roster, according to coach Mike Guess, who said he was pleased with his team’s win. “We weren’t intimidated coming in,� Guess said. “We knew it’d be a wild crowd and that Central Lafourche was a quality ball-club. But we liked our team, too. I think we played pretty well, but we could have done even better. I think that a win like this helps you as you get ready for the next games in the playoffs.�

In the second half, the Panthers were able to regain control of the game, stretching their lead to six points heading into the fourth quarter.

The Trojans fought firm in the final quarter, but

couldn’t get close to the lead. Sanders said every time his team started to make a run, Parkway had an answer. That, or the Trojans would miss a layup or turnover the ball to half the momentum. “We never could do what we needed to do to get over the top to get going,�

Sanders said. “We couldn’t get that big bucket. We couldn’t get that 3-pointer or whatever that we needed to get them to call a timeout or to get our crowd growing.

We had our chances, but we just missed too many layups, man. We missed layups and we missed free throws. We were bad from the foul line, and if you do those things in the playoffs,

it comes back to haunt you, and it did that for us – it cost us the game.�

But for as disappointed as he was about the outcome of the game, Sanders’ tone was mostly upbeat throughout the postgame interview. The coach said that he was very pleased with the progress the Trojans made throughout the year, touting that the program made waves.

Sanders said that with a lot of his team returning next season, he fully expects the Trojans to experience success again. “It’s a disappointing ending, but we had a very nice run,� Sanders said. “We’ll be back. I don’t think there’s any question that

these kids will be back. We have really good chemistry, and we have a team that wants to get better.�

The Trojans’ loss was a sign of things to come for the entire local district.

Central Lafourche, East St. John, Hahnville and Destrehan were all ousted in the opening round of the Class 5A State Playoffs, meaning that no one from within the district will be among the final 16 teams to play. “I didn’t think that’d happen,� Sanders said. “I thought for sure we’d be at least one of the teams to win and advance. But I guess the beauty of a single elimination tournament is that you just don’t know.�

Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Louisiana and Chevron have teamed up for the longest and richest summer-long saltwater fishing tournament in Louisiana, making Chevron the title sponsor for the 21st Annual Statewide Tournament and Angler’s Rodeo (STAR).  Competition begins the Saturday before Memorial Day, on May 23rd, and lasts 108 days until Labor Day, Monday, September 7, 2015.

The 2015 STAR is offering over $500,000 in prizes and is open to anglers of

every age. There will be more ways to win this year with the addition of the Tagged Speckled Trout Division as well as payouts for second and third places in the Trout Division. “STAR is our largest membership drive of the year and with the addition of new sponsors, especially Chevron, we will be able to offer even more ways to win,� said STAR Chairman Nelson Roth. “By offering more prizes, hopefully we will attract more anglers to share in our passion of conserving the coast.� “Last year was a record

breaker in participation, the largest in 20 years!� said Rad Trascher, STAR Director. “Now with the help of our great sponsors

and new prizes, we think it will get even bigger.�

Development From 1-A

The gated community will include 35-45, fourbedroom brick homes, and a walking trail for its residents, along with a clubhouse.

Amenities such as a swimming pool, 24-hour gym, grilling area, and a cyber cafĂŠ, will also be constructed. They expect to provide retail leasing at the front of the property to lease to businesses that will cater to the community’s residents such as restaurants, drycleaning and hair salons. “You’ve got corporate and supervisory positions and people working at the Port that would like to have a nice place for their employees to reside and there’s a huge shortage of that,â€? said Rhodus.

Hotels in the South Lafourche area are giving above-market rates and are heavily booked, indicating the need for more long-term living opportunities for the workers coming in to South Lafourche. Rhodus believes that it would be more cost effective for companies to have their employees living in the more comfortable Dore PrĂŠ community than out of their suitcases at a hotel.

She says that the cost for companies to lease one of the homes in the community will depend on the cost of development, however she estimates that the

cost may be around $8,000 per month for each fourbedroom home. She also currently estimates that the cost of developing the community will be around $10 million.

The development of the property is currently in the preliminary design phase and plans for the design of the community will soon be submitted for approval.

Rhodus believes that the impact of the upcoming community will have a minimal negative impact on local hotels and apartments because of the incredible demand of places to stay.

Currently the demand exceeds the supply of living areas and these places are packed to the brim with people. She says that the community will in fact relieve some of the immediate pressure on such places.

For more information Janet Rhodus can be reached at 225-413-4414.

LOS Clinic From 1-A

At the After Hours clinic, health care is provided for all ages, and radiology and lab services are available on-site. “Our mission statement has been our guiding force through many changes, and it reads ‘Lady of the Sea General Hospital exists to provide high quality healthcare in a personalized manner to those we

serve.’ “Our new After Hours clinic is a great example of how we are adapting to meet the healthcare needs of our community,� said Karen Collins, CEO of Lady of the Sea General Hospital and Clinics.

The clinic hours are Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Additionally, the new Lady of the Sea Community Pharmacy located in Frank’s Supermarket in Larose is opened until 7 p.m. weekdays, and on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Patients who require prescription medication can have their prescriptions sent over to the Community Pharmacy electronically to save time upon pick up.

Collins stated: “Our goal is to meet the healthcare needs of our community and with the opening of our new After Hours clinic and our new Community Pharmacy, we feel as though we are moving closer to achieving that goal.�

Lady of the Sea After Hours Clinic – there when you need them!

Delta Queen From 1-A

“Following extensive mechanical and hotel renovations, the goal is to have the Delta Queen return to cruising America’s waterways in 2016,� he said.

Martin is also confident the boat can receive an exemption to sail again, one it has received several times in the past. “My partners and I are thrilled to be taking this critical first step towards the preservation and restoration of this important piece of American and river history. We look forward to the day when the Delta Queen will once again be able to ply America’s waterways and allow passengers to relive the experience of Mark Twain and his unique cast of river characters from the decks of a true, authentic 1927 steamboat,� Martin said.

The boat is expected to depart Chattanooga late this month and head south, docking somewhere along the Intracoastal Waterway in south Louisiana where renovations and repairs are expected to begin soon af-

terwards.

Built in 1927, the vessel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered to be a

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police have arrested a 13-year-old boy accused of raping his three relatives on multiple occasions over the last two years.

Tyler Gamble, a spokesman for the department, says the alleged victims include a 13-year-old girl, an 11-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy.

The arrest came after an incident Thursday.

Gamble says the suspect is a relative of the victims. He didn’t provide further details.

Carnival bringing larger cruise ship to New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Carnival Cruise Lines says it is increasing its cruise capacity in New Orleans by replacing the smaller Carnival Elation ship with the Carnival Triumph.

Carnival Triumph will shift from Galveston to New Orleans to launch yearround four- and five-day cruises to Mexico beginning April 4, 2016.

On this route, four-day “long weekend� cruises depart Thursdays and call at Cozumel while five-day cruises depart Mondays and Saturdays and visit Cozumel and Progreso.

The company said Monday Carnival Triumph will join Carnival Dream which operates year-round seven-day cruises from New Orleans.

Together these two ships are expected to carry 450,000 guests annually from New Orleans.

Hey Lady A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store. The parrot said to her, “Hey

lady, you are really ugly.�

The lady thought she misheard what the parrot said and went to work.

On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.�

She was incredibly ticked now.

The next day the same parrot again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.�

The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird.

The store manager apologized profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn’t say it again.

When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, “Hey lady.�

She paused and said, “Yes?�

The bird said, “You know!�

Registration now open for this year’s Paddle Bayou Lafourche event

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

Jindal

Four-day trip begins Thursday, April 9 Registration is now open for this year’s Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP) 2015 Paddle Bayou Lafourche event.

BTNEP invites and welcomes residents and visitors from all over the country to travel along the waters of Bayou Lafourche and learn about the culture and heritage that goes along with it.

The 52-mile, four-day paddling trip down the bayou begins Thursday, April 9th, in Donaldsonville, and ends in Lockport on Sunday, April 12th.

Paddlers can participate from one day to all four days of the trip. They will be treated not only to scenic natural vistas, but also to a fascinating backyard view of the bayou from the water’s perspective while enjoying camaraderie, food, music, and fun.

Paddlers will get a firsthand look at the restoration work being conducted along the bayou, along with a taste of local cuisine, and entertainment every night in a campsite setting. Participants will also receive a souvenir t-shirt, water, and healthy snacks throughout the day.

Canoe rentals are available in a limited supply.

The trip cost is $40 per day, or $150 for all four days without a canoe rental. The cost for paddlers renting a

canoe is $60 per day, or $225 for all four days. Preregistration is required.

Local residents not wanting to paddle can also join in the experience by supporting the event from the banks of Bayou Lafourche. Locals are invited to decorate their bayou side and provide signs of encouragement and welcome to the bayou visitors. In the past, visitors have been greeted with local music and cheers as the paddlers coasted down the bayou.

BTNEP started Paddle Bayou Lafourche as an innovative approach to educate residents and visitors about the culture and ecology of Bayou Lafourche, as well as the coastal restoration needs of the area and potential solutions.

Paddlers can register by completing the registration form at www.BTNEP.org, call 985447-0868 or email Kristy Monier at Kristy@BTNEP.org for registration instructions. Visit the website for more information.

BTNEP is one of the 28 national estuary programs in the United States. All or parts of sixteen Louisiana parishes are located in the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary system.

From 1-A

Jindal and lawmakers are grappling with a $1.6 billion budget shortfall next year, so they need to drum up new sources of cash if they want to continue paying for many of the state’s programs and services.

College system leaders greeted the release of Jindal’s budget proposal Friday with differing reactions, some seeming more worried than others.

Monty Sullivan, president of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, called the inclusion of ideas for generating new revenue to help colleges “encouraging.”

“I am optimistic that collectively the administration, the Legislature and the higher education leadership will find budget solutions,” Sullivan said in a statement.

LSU System President F. King Alexander described the threat of “historic” and “significant” cuts in his statements after the governor’s budget was unveiled.

But he also said he appreciated Jindal’s willingness to consider possible solutions to offset the gap.

The budget proposal leaves higher education leaders in a precarious position, uncertain of how much money they’ll have to spend in the fiscal year that

7-A

begins July 1 while trying to decide class schedules and program offerings for students.

Colleges haven’t been given assurances they won’t face cuts, but lawmakers and the Jindal administration say they want to find ways to keep those reductions as minimal as possible.

Negotiations will continue until a final version of the budget is written in June, and higher education officials are offering their own ideas to generate more money for their campuses, like fee hikes and tuition increases.

“The only manageable scenario is zero cuts,” Southern University System President Ronald Mason said in a statement.

“We are hopeful and will continue working with the governor and the Legislature to come up with solutions to ensure the survival of public universities in Louisiana.”

Jindal did include full funding in his budget proposal for the state’s free college tuition program called TOPS. The program is slated to cost $284 million next year to cover more than 55,000 students, an increase of $34 million.

Vizier, Wilbert Collins, Larry Griffin, John Melancon Jr., and Ervin Bruce ABSENT: Jimmy Guidry Upon motion by Griffin and second by Collins, the board unanimously approved the minutes for December 10, 2014 regular meeting and December 15, 2014 special meeting.

Executive Director’s Report Northern Expansion – Engineer John Plaisance reported that the Slip C West Bulkhead is complete. All the steel sheets are installed on the East Bulkhead. The contractor is working on driving concrete piles. They do plan to be complete by the end of February. Engineer John Plaisance reported that the Alternate Slip A dredge project is complete. The contractor is working in Slip C for the Sweep Dredge project along the west bulkhead and they expect completion in February.

Airport Projects – Joe Wheeler reported that we do not need a Parish permit for navigational aids with the Glide Slope project. We do however need to follow specific requirements with the electrical work which the engineer is looking into now. Wheeler reported that the contractor is planning on paving next week for the Apron Expansion project.

Engineer Larry Picciola reported that the final inspection on the Pump Station Pipe Replacement project was done on Monday. The project is complete with a few punch list items to be done. Wheeler reported that the aircraft operations for December were 2,122 which puts us at 23,879 operations for 2014 a 9.5% increase. He stated that next month the report will change by adding passenger counts. Executive Director Chett Chiasson requested an update on the Chevron facility, which Wheeler replied that they are still looking to be complete in May they do have some issues with the wind while working the crane so it is limited to what they can do at times. This summer they should be able to utilize the facility. Gisclair stated that since he had received some information regarding the helicopters in the area if he would be getting with the Town of Golden Meadow with their concerns, which Wheeler replied that he does plan to attend their meeting and give them an update of the information from FAA stating that our traffic area does not need to be a part of fly away. Wheeler can establish the rules in our area and meet with the helicopter companies to abide by. Melancon stated that he wants to attend that meeting with him.

Port Security and Grant Projects – Chiasson stated that Mrs. Danos is at a meeting in Washington today regarding Cybersecurity. Davie Breaux reported that in regards to Cybersecurity and Resiliency project we continue to configure equipment and we are also looking at new software packages. In regards to the Airport Cameras, we are working on getting the electrical hooked up to the 2 additional cameras. We are continuing to renew the licenses for the Port Wide Sustain & Maintain project. Chiasson stated that we are in the process of advertising for the Risk Mitigation Plan.

Other Port Projects – Joe Berlin with URS reported that we received the internal decision documents from the New Orleans District Corps office for the disposal area to complete the Assumption of Maintenance Study. We did start implementing that information into the report to complete the document that will be submitted to the Corps. Chiasson questioned the time frame to finalize the document, which Berlin stated 30 days.

Engineer John Plaisance reported that

the contractor is substantially complete for the Storm Harbor Marina project.

There are several punch list items some minor and some major. We are concerned of the depth in the slips which we are checking today. There are also some welding that needs to be done between the steel piles and the beams.

Chiasson stated that we are going to be putting in a fence and have signage explaining the utilization of this facility. Gisclair stated that this will be a slow learning process with the public since with the grant there are restrictions of use that it is only for emergency storm use.

Engineer Larry Picciola reported that the preconstruction meeting for the N. J. Theriot Road Elevation & Improvements project was held last week. We do plan to issue the notice to proceed on January 28th. We did receive today the contractor’s submittals that we are reviewing and will give them their control points. The contract time is approximately 4 months. Chiasson stated that we did notify the tenants in the Port and the Parish actually did the same thing yesterday. We do plan to keep updating the tenants throughout the project. Chiasson stated that we did hear from DOTD that the overlay of LA 3090 will bid out and opened early April 2015. The N.J. Theriot Road project should be complete prior to the start of the LA 3090 construction work.

Engineer John Plaisance reported that the Nerby Collins Commercial Marina Bulkhead project is currently being advertised and we plan to open bids January 29th. Gisclair questioned the time frame of construction, which Plaisance stated it is between 90 to 120 days and it should start mid-March. Engineer Joe Picciola reported that bids were opened on December 18th for the Breakwaters project. We are recommending award to the low bid from Bertucci Contracting for $819,000.00.

Davie Breaux reported that we did have $100,000 budgeted for the Highway Embankment Stabilization project. We did work with DOTD to place approximately $73,000 of material north of the South Lafourche Bridge. We will try to get with DOTD for when they get their equipment working again to come back to finish up that section.

Update from South Louisiana Economic Council – Vic Lafont presented to the board their annual report. Since last year, we worked more closely with the Port tenants and received feedback from them to help assist them in their expansions. One big concern of tenants was the need of qualified and dependable workforce. We will be spending a considerable amount of time this year to help these companies get what they need with workforce. A future focus point is that we need to establish an industrial park. We could establish this at the regional airport that could help the argument of the road. One problem the tenants have is that you have companies that service the tenants at the Port but they are not big enough to have a presence in the Port. An alternative would be to have a company locate at the industrial park inside the levee system. Also some companies would love to have a second site that they can move to during storms. We are trying to be creative and anything we come up with at the airport would help the argument of the road. He also presented Dr. Loren Scott’s Louisiana Economic Outlook report which is prepared for all regions of state. He noted that an interesting part is where Dr. Scott shows

his predictions of the oil and gas industry which was done before the low oil prices of today. It will be interesting to see how things play out. Lafont stated that SLEC participated with the Port at the Oil and Gas Workshop and met with tenants which was very productive. He stated that he would like to participate with other functions in the future. Gisclair stated that with what happened in the last 45 days, he questioned what concerns does Lafont see, which Lafont replied that with the oil prices going down the oil companies pulling back and the boats are being tied up. It just started and yes he is very concerned but it is not like we haven’t been here before. He stated that is another reason why he will be working close with the Port on this. Companies need to tell me now if they see trouble in the future and then we can help them out. He stated that he and Chett are utilizing the same resources to address the issues. He stated that Dr. Loren Scott is working on a modification of his report to include this recent data which will be presented to the Port as soon as it is ready.
