NLLD levee, pump stations projects underway

Boilin’ on the Bayou …

Voters will decide May 2 on whether the District will get additional revenue

Staff photo by Babs

Tommy Dufrene sprinkles seasoning as Ken Hebert stirs the pot at last Saturday’s Boilin’ on the Bayou event held at the Cut Off Youth Center.

Although rain hampered the event for the second consecutive year, about 800 people attended and 13 boiling teams entered the contest. Over 7,800 pounds of crawfish were served raising about $20,000 for the COYC fundraiser.

Dufrene and Hebert represented team Gulf Coast Tugs who, in their first year competing, took first place.

The North Lafourche Levee District has three projects currently underway to provide the central Lafourche area with greater flood protection.

In February, construction began on the Lockport Company Canal South Bank Levee Lift Project that involves raising 2,600 feet of levee to a 7-footplus elevation.

According to the Daily Comet, Parish Public Works Director Don Edwards said, “Typically, the elevations are lower in Lockport than other areas so it’s important for that reason.”

Various enhancements, such as removing trees, adding a temporary silt fence and patching pavement, are included in the project.

The project is about halfway finished, and according to Edwards, “is on track.”

The project is being paid for with $1.25 million in federal Community Development Block Grand money awarded to the parish as part of the Hurricane Gustav/Ike Recovery Program.

Jindal says he’d veto budget tied to tax break suspensions MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal said Thursday he won’t support a legislative effort to temporarily suspend tax breaks to drum up quick cash to patch together next year’s budget.

The Republican governor, in a sit-down with reporters to recap the second week of the legislative session, said he’s told legislative leaders that he would consider the move a tax increase and he would veto a budget dependent on it.

“I made it very clear to them that we’re not encouraging any kind of games or workarounds or loopholes,” he said.

But he added: “I don’t think we’re going to get in that situation.”

Jindal said he thinks lawmakers will find a longer-term solution to the state’s $1.6 billion

budget shortfall, with tax changes and spending reductions that he won’t consider a net increase in taxes.

Lawmakers looking for ways to stop deep cuts to health care services and college campuses have filed an array of measures to make tax changes that would generate new money for the state.

Two dozen proposals are temporary suspensions of tax credits, rebates, exemptions and deductions that could provide a short-term fix to balance the budget if lawmakers can’t reach a broader, long-term agreement on tax changes.

The idea behind the temporary proposals is that a tax break suspension would generate See Jindal Page 5-A

Two horses seized, a third found dead on property

Acting on a tip last Sunday, April 19th, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s deputies visited a pasture located at 698 Hwy. 307 and discovered the carcass of one horse and observed two horses in extremely poor shape, due to malnutrition and neglect.

The owner of the horses, Ryan Paul Martin, was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony, and two misdemeanor charges. Bond was set at $3,000.

The sheriff’s department asked members of the Lafourche Chapter of the Humane Society of Louisiana to take custody of and provide care for the two remaining horses, a Paint black and a Leopard appaloosa.

Both horses where seen by a local equine veterinarian who rated them a “2” out of 9 points on the Henneke Body Condition Scoring Chart. A score of “5” is considered an ideal body condition score. A score of “2” represents a very emaciated condition. The ribs and hip bones of the confiscated horses are clearly vis-

ible, often a sign of malnutrition.

Unfortunately, due to the severe long-term neglect, the horses overall prognosis for a full recovery remains in doubt, according to Pamela George, President of the Lafourche Chapter and present custodian of the horses.

“Unfortunately, these horses have gone so long without proper care and feed, it is often very difficult to bring a horse back. There is only a 50-50% chance these two horses will make it, because of the chronic malnutrition they suffered. They have virtually no body fat and it takes time to regain their weight and strength and sometimes they succumb to complications associated with the failure of their internal organs due to their weakened condition. They are both about 250 pounds underweight, and we have to monitor their feed in-take, so they don’t colic. We have to gradually increase their feed over time, so their body can properly absorb it.

Letters and Opinions

Where are our Lafourche Leaders?

April 2015 makes 5 years since the BP Oil Spill disaster. On the 5th anniversary, I was watching the local news. The newscasters were talking to our neighboring parishes’ leaders about the recovery of the seafood industry and how funds are being used to help with the recovery of the marshes. They also brought up how tar balls are still showing up on he beaches of Grand Isle.

Not surprisingly, none of Lafourche Parish leaders

went on air to talk about how Lafourche Parish is recovering. I thought we had a beach in Port Fourchon. I know we have marshes. I guess BP fixed everything in Lafourche Parish cause you sure don’t hear our parish leaders asking for things to get done. It makes a voter wonder what the heck is going on.

BRIEF

LDWF agents arrest one, cite another for illegal oyster sales

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents arrested a Texas man and cited a Louisiana man for alleged illegal oyster sales in Terrebonne Parish on April 19.

Agents received a public tip about a man selling sacks of oysters from an unrefrigerated truck in Houma. After investigating the tip, agents found Wally J. Bazar, 33, of New Orleans, selling green-tagged oysters to the public from an unrefrigerated truck.  Green tagged oysters are to only be sold to a certified dealer or to a postharvest treating facility.  Bazar also did not have a wholesale seafood license allowing him to sell oysters. questioning, During Bazar admitted to buying a total of 10 sacks of oysters from Randy Smith, 51, of Angleton, Texas, on April 18 and 19.   Agents found Smith and learned that he was a deckhand on a commercial oyster fishing vessel.  Agents learned that Smith stole the oysters from the vessel without the owner’s knowledge and put them in his car before selling them to Bazar.

Agents also found that he was wanted in Texas for the past two years on parole violations in Calhoun County Texas. _____________

Ruling in lingering post-Katrina flooding suit expected soon

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A decade-old lawsuit seeking damages from the U.S. government over flooding from Hurricane Katrina and other storms is moving closer to resolution, and a judge’s latest filing indicates that at least some damages will be ordered.

Judge Susan Braden of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington said in a document filed Wednesday that she will issue an order on liability in the case

by May 4. She didn’t say what her decision will be but set a May 6 settlement conference in New Orleans to discuss “a potential resolution of the damages in this case.�

The 2005 lawsuit focuses on the now-closed Mississippi River Gulf Outlet — a federally built navigation canal blamed by many for flooding in St. Bernard Parish and New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward.

The suit says the construction, dredging and operation of the navigation canal, known in south Louisiana as “Mister Go,� contributed to conditions that led to catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, Hurricane Rita weeks later and other storms.

In effect, the suit argued, the damage caused by the flooding was an illegal “taking� of private property by the federal government without adequate compensation.

The MRGO was authorized by Congress in 1956, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and closed in the years after Katrina. _____________

Smoking inside bars is officially off-limits in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — City Council members who led the push to ban smoking in bars and gambling venues in this notoriously libertine city hailed the start of the smoke-free ordinance Wednesday as a historic step in making the city healthier.

At midnight Tuesday, smoking inside New Orleans’ more than 500 bars and gambling venues — including the major downtown Harrah’s New Orleans casino — became off-limits and smokers across the city’s bars lit up their last cigarettes with much fanfare.

At the downtown casino, employees handed out lollipops to smoking gamblers at the stroke of midnight and removed ashtrays from the casino’s gambling floors.

The ban was passed over the objections of bar owners and Harrah’s New Orleans. Last Friday, owners of the casino and dozens of other businesses asked a state judge to stop the ordinance from taking effect.

But Civil District Court Judge Nakisha Ervin-Knott denied the request for a preliminary injunction and set a hearing on the matter for May 21.

The ban on smoking also covers many other public places such as hotels, workplaces, private clubs and stores. The prohibition includes smoking electronic cigarettes indoors in public places. _____________

Renovations planned to modernize in-stadium fan experience

nounced plans to renovate the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center.

Officials said in a press release Tuesday that an agreement has been reached among the two teams, the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, and SMG, which manages the Superdome and the King Center, for renovations to modernize the properties.

Plans will focus on improving the fan experience.

Some upgrades include: state-of-the-art LED video boards, enhanced LED lighting and audio systems, remodeling of suites and concession stands areas, and energy efficient renovations.

The estimated cost for the renovations is $40 million, most of which will be funded by Benson’s $25 million commitment to the project.

Renovations for the multi-million dollar project will begin immediately and are expected to be completed for fall 2016. _____________

What a Life!

Sunday, April 26, 2015 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Pope Francis calls for a Holy Year emphasizing God’s Mercy

Pope Francis stood in front of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on April 11 and handed copies of a document to Vatican officials proclaiming the 2015-2016 a Holy Year of Mercy.

Mercy is what makes God perfect and all-powerful, Pope Francis said in his document called “The Face of Mercy.”

“If God limited himself to only justice, he would cease to be God, and would instead be like human beings who ask merely that the law be respected.”

The year will begin on December 8, 2015.

In his homily for evening prayer in St. Peter’s Basilica on Divine Mercy Sunday, the pope said he proclaimed the Year of Mercy because “it is the favorable time to heal wounds. It’s a time not to be weary of meeting all those who are waiting to see and touch with their hands the signs of the closeness of God, a time to offer everyone the way of forgiveness and reconciliation.”

The boundless mercy and forgiveness of God have been constant themes of Pope Francis’ preaching.

The Old Testament stories show how God repeatedly offered mercy to his unfaithful people and the New Testament stories of Jesus’ compassion, healing and mercy demonstrate, “the mercy of God is not an abstract idea, but a concrete reality through which he reveals his love,” just like mothers and fathers love their children.

The Pope urged all Catholics to spend more time practicing what traditionally have been called the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

The corporal works are: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned, giving drink to the thirsty and burying the dead.

The spiritual works are: converting sinners, instructing the ignorant, advising the doubtful, comforting the sorrowful, bearing wrongs patiently, forgiving injuries and praying for the living and dead.

Recognizing that they have been treated with mercy by God, he said, “Christians are obliged to treat others with mercy. In fact, the Gospel says that Christians will be judged by the mercy they show others.”

“This is a time for the church to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the Lord on Easter: to be a sign and an instrument of the Father’s mercy.

Consequently, the Holy Year must keep alive the desire to know how to welcome the many signs of the

Joseph Pitre, an eighth grade student of Holy Rosary Catholic School, recently qualified for and participated in the State Competition of the National Geography Bee that was held recently in Baton Rouge.

Joseph, son of Matt and JoAnne Pitre, is among the top 100 students within Louisiana to qualify.

tenderness that God offers to the whole world and, above all, to those who suffer, who are alone and abandoned, without hope of being pardoned or feeling the Father’s love.”

The Pope said that the Year of Mercy is also a way to keep the Second Vatican Council alive.

“The walls that too long had made the church a kind of fortress were torn down and the time had come to proclaim the Gospel in a new way.”

The council recognized “a responsibility to be a living sign of the Father’s love in the world.”

The life and action of the church “are authentic and credible only when she becomes a convincing herald of mercy” that “knows no

bounds and extends to everyone without exception.”

Preaching mercy is different from ignoring sin or withholding correction. Instead, mercy invites repentance and conversion and ensures the sinner that once God forgives a sin, he forgets it.

“At times we might find it to forgive,” he said. “Yet pardon is the instrument placed into our fragile hands to attain peace of heart. To let go of anger, wrath, violence and revenge are necessary conditions to living joyfully.”

The date the Pope chose to open the year, December 8, 2015 is the feast of the Immaculate Conception and the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council.

Holy Rosary Catholic School sent 12 students in 5th through 7th grades to represent HRCS for the annual Elementary Literary Rally at Vandebilt High School on March 14th.

The rally is designed to promote academic excellence and recognize those students who excel in their respective schools.

Students from Terrebonne Parish public schools, the Catholic schools within the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, Houma Christian School, Covenant Christian Academy and St. Matthew’s Episcopal were invited to participate in the rally.

Representing HRCS are: (fifth grade): English - Isabella Cheramie, Math - Matthew Thomassie, Science - Parker Angelette, Social Studies - Brody Pitre; (sixth grade) English - Grant Rebstock, Math - Hailey Thibodeaux, Science - Gavon Guidry, Social Studies - Alexa Reed; (seventh grade) English - Jackie Trahan DeJesus, Math - Addison Duet, Science - Noah Callais, and Louisiana History - Isaac Callais.

In the Mathews area, crews are working on a roughly $1.4 million project to improve the Fantastic pump station down Fantastic Acres along LA 1.

Two 36-inch pumps were recently installed and turned on. A third 48-inch pump is set to be put in, Edwards said.

Behind the pump, parish crews have been reinforcing the levee that has had multiple failures.

Edwards said the project involves temporary fixes on the levee’s dry side from the Twin Oaks pump station in Raceland to the Fantastic pump station.

The plan is to continue improving the levee all the way to Larose, he said.

Whether the district will get the extra revenue it needs to do all the projects it would like to in a timely manner will depend on the voters who will decide whether to approve a quarter-cent sales tax increase on the May 2 ballot.

The tax is expected to raise about $2.2 million a year for the district, which includes more that 250 levees and drainage canals and 40 pump stations from Thibodaux to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Larose.

don’t support veto overrides.

One caveat could be if lawmakers include the temporary tax break suspension as part of a larger plan that Jindal wouldn’t consider a net increase in taxes, an idea that seems like a long-shot.

Lawmakers are trying to stay within guidelines set by Jindal about what sorts of tax changes he’ll consider, parameters set in accordance with the policies of national anti-tax activist Grover Norquist.

In his budget recommendations, the governor proposed to lessen state spending by more than $500 million on a dozen refundable tax credits in which the state writes a check to businesses above their state tax liability.

But legislators have resisted the proposal, which faces strong opposition from business leaders, and instead have come up with their own ideas.

This week, the Senate Finance Committee approved a bill to repeal the local property tax charged on inventory. The maneuver would save the state more than $500 million a year that it gives businesses in tax credits to offset the expense.

Next week, the House Ways and Means Committee will consider proposals to raise the cigarette tax and scale back tax breaks for the film and solar industries, among other ideas.

Jindal commended lawmakers for making progress in the budget negotiations.

“This will obviously be a complicated process. There will be a lot of moving parts,” he said.

According to Levee District Executive Director Dwayne Bourgeois, the roughly $3.5 million the district collects now through property taxes does not allow it to adequately address flood protection needs in a timely or sensible manner.

The sales tax revenue, if approved, would also be leveraged to attract more state and federal money and would allow the district to expedite completion of levee and drainage projects more quickly than with current funding alone.

Only voters within the district will cast ballots on the tax proposal.

money for the next year, while a new governor and new Legislature elected this fall comes in and works to restructure Louisiana’s tax structure and spending protections.

Jindal couldn’t veto the resolutions that allow for the temporary tax break suspensions — but he could veto a budget bill tied to them. His threat to do so could kill efforts to advance those pieces of legislation, since a veto override takes a hefty two-thirds vote and lawmakers traditionally

Horses

From 1-A

“They also have serious hoof problems. Since their hooves were never trimmed, the horses were actually walking on their bent-over hooves. The hooves were so long, they actually grew out and curved back under the soles of the horses’ hooves.

It must have been very painful for them to walk,” adds Pamela, who has been

around horses most of her adult life and has been president of the local chapter for the past four years.

The group expects the horses’ recovery to take several months and they are seeking donations from the public to help pay for their expected medical and feed costs. To make a contribution, please send a check or money order to Humane Society of Louisiana, Lafourche Chapter, P.O. Box 613, Cut Off, LA 70345. All donations are tax deductible.

Donations of all types of pet supplies, including cat and dog food, can be left in the donation boxes set up in the lobbies of all Lafourche Parish Library branches, during normal business hours.

“We are grateful that Pam and her hard-working volunteers were able to respond to the sheriff’s request for assistance and are able to provide care for these horses. Few people realize that horses need daily care and leaving them to fend for themselves on a barren pasture will often times lead to serious lifethreatening problems for the animals. Unfortunately, our office gets these types of complaints and tips on a regular, routine basis from around the state,” says Jeff Dorson, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Louisiana.

The Humane Society of Louisiana is one of the state’s largest animal advocacy organizations. For more information, visit their website at www.humanela. org or call 1-888-6-humane.

Betting Man

An old man is met by his attorney, and is told he is going to be audited. He rides to the IRS office with his attorney, and when he gets there, he begins to talk with the IRS agent.

“I bet $2,000 I can bite my own eye!” The IRS agent agrees to the bet, believing it an impossible

task. The old man laughs, pulls out his glass eye, and bites it. The IRS agent is dumbfounded.

The old man bets $3,000 he can bite his other eye. The IRS agent knows there’s no way possible to do this, so he once more agrees. The old man cackles, pulls out his dentures, and bites his eye.

Then the old man fi-

nally wagers, “I bet $20,000 I can stand on the far side of your desk, pee over the desk, and get it into your wastebasket, without missing a single drop.”

The agent knows he won’t be able to, so once more he agrees. The old man indeed misses, peeing all over the desk, and on the paperwork. The IRS agent jumps for joy, but then notices the attorney over in the corner moaning.

“Are you all right?” asks the agent.

“No! On the way over here, he bet me $400,000 he could pee on your desk and you’d be happy about it!”

From 1-A

Callais has spent his entire professional career as an employee of Vision Communications where he was named Employee of the Year in 2009. He is a 2012 graduate of Leadership Lafourche and was most recently recognized by Best of Lafourche as one of the top â&#x20AC;?Forty under Fortyâ&#x20AC;? in the parish.

Rodeo officials also announced a new partnership with the Lafourche Chamber Foundation, the nonprofit wing of the Lafourche Chamber of Commerce.

This partnership provides the rodeo with combined resources to provide a bigger, better annual event. In turn, therefore, the new partnership will allow for continued support of higher education for the youth of the community.

Callais expressed his excitement about the new partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe rodeo participants will see the benefits of this new partnership immediately at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo,â&#x20AC;? said Callais. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am humbled and honored to serve as the 2015 Admiral, and I encourage everyone to come out to the rodeo for great

music, food, and drinks while enjoying our local sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise.â&#x20AC;?

Officials also unveiled new branding for the annual rodeo featuring a fullcolor logo and a revamped, modern website at the rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new address: www.fourchontarponrodeo.com.

The weigh scales for the 67th Annual Golden Meadow-Fourchon Tarpon Rodeo will be open Friday and Saturday, July 3 and 4.

Live music, food and drinks will be available on those dates under the pavilion, and the annual King of the Catch Cook-Off will take place on Friday, July 3.
