LA engineers call state roads, bridges embarrassing

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana civil engineers have graded the state’s roads and bridges, and they claimed the results were “embarrassing.” The Advocate reports that roads were given a D grade and bridges a D-plus in the report card from the Louisiana chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. “We are here because, for the last five years, Louisiana has ignored the signs and failed to take the necessary steps to reverse the course,” Kam Movassaghi, a former Louisiana transportation secretary and executive director of the study, said in a statement. The report card looked at the state of Louisiana’s roads, bridges, aviation, dams and seven other areas. It gave state infrastructure an overall grade of D-plus. The grades are mostly unchanged since the same group issued a similar report in 2012. The earlier study sparked little response from the Legislature. “There is no plan,” Movassaghi told reporters. “We are piecemealing it.” See Roads Page 8-A

Traffic counters will be set at the Larose intersection of LA Hwy. 308 and Hamilton St. / Industrial Park Road in the near future to track the amount of traffic volume at that point to determine if the intersection warrants a need for a traffic signal. This analysis will begin after the West Larose Lift Bridge on LA 1 is open to traffic, expected around the week of May 26.

Local volunteer program helps abused and neglected children Holly McKeon, Contributing Writer

There is an epidemic plaguing many of our children in Lafourche Parish which few may be aware of. Sadly, there are 160 kids ranging in age from infancy to 18 years that are in state custody due to abuse or neglect. These children are either in group homes, foster care settings, or placed with relatives. CASA of Lafourche, a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, is a court appointed child advocacy group who is the saving grace for 96 of these children. CASA Programming Coordinator, Tiffany Lee, best explained it when she said, “Our volunteers are the judge’s arms and legs. The judge simply doesn’t have the ability to go out and see every child or monitor every parent.” For CASA that is not enough. They are in critical need of volunteers to reach the remaining 64 children and other children who enter the system every day. Currently, the organization has only 37 volunteers, with each assigned one case that may involve one child or could have siblings. These devoted volunteers become a child’s voice and remain a constant “touchstone” for these innocent youth who are in dire need of a safe and nurturing environment. A child re-

moved from the abusive and neglectful home continues to face a multitude of challenges. Removal from their home is often unexpected, heart-wrenching, and traumatic for these children. They are soon in unfamiliar surroundings, with new rules, new faces, and contemplate an “unknown” future daily. Once a CASA volunteer steps into play they become the voice of a child, provide solace, stability, and ease of A CASA board member transition. Committed is pictured planting pinto the wellbeing of the wheels with some of child, CASA not only the children. makes recommendations to the court but also helps the child with resources to address medical, mental health, school issues, etc. See CASA Page 5-A

Larose man guilty in child sexual assault case By Holly Duchmann Daily Comet Staff Writer

After more than five hours of deliberation Friday afternoon, a jury unanimously found an 83-year-old Larose man guilty of the sexual battery of a 7-year-old girl more than 30 years ago. The jury of four men and eight women Warren Danos found Warren Danos guilty of assaults that occurred repeatedly from 1984 to 1986. Danos was originally charged

VOLUME 51 NUMBER 34

with aggravated rape. The victim, now 39, was 7 years old when he began sexually assaulting her, according to testimony. She reported the assaults to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office in December 2014, and Danos was charged with aggravated rape the following summer. During the trial, two additional women testified that Danos molested them as children, though the statute of limitations had expired for their allegations. Danos will return to court on June 20 for a sentencing hearing. Sexual battery in Louisiana carries a minimum 25-year sentence in prison with hard labor. See Guilty Page 5-A

By only 19 votes, Lafourche Parish voters rejected a one-cent sales tax increase Saturday that would have boosted school worker salaries. The vote was 7,712 (50 percent) against to 7,693 (50 percent) in favor. About 26.4 percent of the parish’s 58,442 voters cast ballots on the tax proposal. Proponents said the tax would help the parish’s teacher salaries compete with Terrebonne’s and other surrounding parishes. Opponents, including both parish Chambers of Commerce, said sales taxes are already too high in the parish and claimed the increase would hurt business. But parish voters did approve a proposal that will allow the School Board to sell $80 million worth of bonds for school construction. The board will use a portion of property tax money it already collects to pay the debt over 20 years. That vote was 9,454 (67 percent) for to 5,888 (38 percent) against. About 26.3 percent of the parish’s voters cast ballots on the measure. In the Senate District 2 race, two Democrats will compete in a May 27 runoff for the seat that includes parts of northern Lafourche as well as Assumption. Warren Harang III of Donaldsonville and Ed Price of Gonzales emerged as the top finishers Saturday among 13 candidates. Harang finished first Saturday with 3,985 votes (27 percent). Price finished second with 3,282 votes (22 percent). About 20.5 percent of the district’s 72,872 voters cast ballots. See Voters Page 8-A

The not-so-silent partner By Renee Amar Guest Columnist

Sunday, April 30th kicked off National Small Business Week. This is a week for us to celebrate our job creators and innovators. This is a week when we honor the nation’s and our state’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. While this week is all about providing small businesses with the recognition they have rightfully earned for all of their hard work to make Louisiana’s economy stronger, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) would like to honor these businesses in an unconventional way, by bringing to light the hardships these small business owners face in order to make Louisiana better. These small business owners are our job creators and innovators, employing more than half of the workforce of the state. LABI applauds small business owners who take the huge risk of starting their own business without any guarantee of a return on their investment. They are the epitome of the American dream, typically scraping together every penny possible, borrowing from family members and friends. They have a vision to become their own boss, of working for themselves and supporting their family, they work tirelessly to achieve this end. However, what most small business owners didn’t realize when they started their business, was that they were going to have a partner. A not–sosilent and increasingly over-reaching partner … the government. In our home state of Louisiana, we should be highlighting the impact of these outstanding entrepreneurs and small business owners on a daily basis. Yet, all we are hearing from Baton Rouge are discussions of how to grow the government and how business is not pulling their weight. There is no bold vision to unleash the economic engine responsible for two out of three net new jobs. No vision to get our state’s economy moving after massive job losses over the last year. In fact, the only rhetoric we hear is quite the opposite, tax increases and mandates. Our state government is on a constant march to regulate and tax small business owners. The three 2016 legislative sessions saw a plethora of mandates suggested, further seeking to interject the government into the small business

owner’s process of maintaining their business. Much of this legislation sought to give attorneys more opportunities to sue small businesses, and although Louisiana already has guarantees of equality and non-discrimination in the law, bills were filed that would have gone much further and required many small business owners to prove to a bureaucrat how and what they pay their employees. Whether it was fighting to stop the state or local governments from establishing new wage mandates or forcing costly sick leave policies beyond what is required by the federal government, LABI successfully fought to ensure the business owner could decide wages and best hiring practices based on market demands. LABI believes that small business owners are very aware that their employees are their most valuable asset and operate best in a free and open marketplace. Sadly enough, 2017 is feeling like Groundhog Day. The same mandates that the Governor pushed last year are back again. These perennial mandates on the business community take a huge toll on small businesses, as they do not have fixed departments to adjust to the new mandates. Once again, LABI will be on the front line, alongside small business owners, to stop these costly mandates and tax increases from hurting small businesses even more. Another major issue for small business owners outside of taxes and mandates is related to the workforce. Small business owners, just like their large counterparts, continue to say that hiring skilled workers is a constant difficulty for them. Nonetheless, the Governor’s plan for education and workforce is to erode reforms that seek to improve Louisiana’s talent pipeline. Small business owners are not feeling optimistic about our state government’s view of their work. While the federal government is working diligently to

repeal burdensome regulations, taxes and mandates on small businesses, it seems our state is hell-bent on doing the polar opposite. The Administration and lawmakers in Baton Rouge should take heed. Stop the needless rhetoric about the business community, of which small business owners are a majority. Taxpayers and businesses need a

consistent tax structure that does not change every few months. Small business owners simply want to operate their business with as little governmental interference as possible. That starts with helping them grow and lessening the impact of their not-sosilent partner, the government.

CASA

Through no fault of their own, sometimes a child may be moved four, five or even six times to new foster care environments. The selfless CASA volunteer walks hand in hand with that child alleviating fear and stress of such moves and remains the one constant for the child. CASA also monitors parent’s progress, who are encouraged to reach goals outlined in a plan designed specifically for them. Such a plan might include the completion of parenting classes, drug counseling, and securing stable housing/employment. “Unfortunately, only about 50% of cases result in child/parent reunification. If parental rights terminate, the child remains a ward of the state until they are adopted or age out of the system,” said Lee. Presently, in an overwhelmed and understaffed government child welfare office, social workers have around 30 active cases each. Compound this with the fact some cases stay open for up to two years, and there is a certainty a percentage of children will fall through the cracks. Another harsh reality

is when children age out and CASA is not involved, the state gives them $200 and maybe a bus ticket. CASA, on the other hand, continues to assist those who age out by providing resources to build competence in life skills, independent living, and job training. Children are our most precious treasure. Every child deserves understanding, unconditional love, and the very best life has to offer. CASA volunteers are vital to the youth’s recovery process. “If people in our community could come forward to say they can help just one child we could reach out to the other kids who are in state custody,” said Lee. “The only requirements for a potential volunteer are to be at least 21 years of age, submit to a background check, and complete volunteer training,” Lee added. The reward of witnessing a child overcome such adversities and growth are enormous. CASA is inviting the public to the next volunteer training which is Wednesday, May 10th. There are no degrees necessary. Volunteers can be from any walk of life. Come out, meet and make great friends while fighting for

Guilty

From 1-A

“From the very beginning we understood this would be a very difficult case to try because it happened so long ago,” said First Assistant District Attorney Kristine Russell. “We were much more interested in letting the victim and all three women have their day in court to tell their story and have some closure.” Russell said she was proud of all three women who came forward and very pleased with the verdict. “That was a war,” said defense attorney Matthew Ory after the trial. “Very emotional. Many blows exchanged from both sides. Credit the state for putting on a good case. From our perspective, anytime someone is facing a life sentence and a jury returns a responsive verdict, it’s big, really big.” During closing arguments, Ory argued the testimonies of two women who testified Thursday that he had molested them as children were inconsistent with Danos’ character the 39-year-old victim and prosecutors were portraying. While the victim testified Danos raped her hundreds of times, one of the women testified Danos molested her three times, and the other woman testified Danos molested her once. “Our vicious rapist that raped 500 to 600 times? That’s not his M.O.,” Ory said. Ory also argued the inconsistencies in the victim’s statement, such as

her changing testimony of how many times she was raped, could only be from her lying. He accused one of the women who testified of plotting a conspiracy against Danos. He compared Thursday’s court proceedings to a soap opera. Russell said the inconsistencies in the victim’s testimony, especially the number of times she was allegedly assaulted, was because she was 7 when the assaults began. “I don’t expect you to keep a diary,” Ory said. “I expect you to be truthful.” “When the defense attorney mocks the victims

and the system, that’s why kids don’t come forward. That’s why adults don’t come forward,” Russell said. Russell ended by telling the jury although the victim was not able to have justice as a child, it wasn’t too late. “Justice knows no age; justice knows no time,” Russell said. “She did not get justice 30 years ago, but it’s time for her to get justice now.”

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Law Enforcement Academy graduated its 31st class of cadets into the ranks of LDWF Enforcement Division agents at a ceremony in Baton Rouge last week. After seven months of intensive physical and academic training at the academy, 23 newly commissioned agents will begin enforcing hunting, fishing and boating regulations that govern the use of the state’s natural resources. Among the 23 new agents are Jonathan Boudreaux, of Raceland, who’ll be assigned to Plaquemines Parish, and Jonathan Morrison, of Houma, who’ll be assigned to Southern Strike Force. At the academy, cadets train to enforce the state’s recreational boating laws, the state and federal wildlife and fisheries laws and general law enforcement work on the state’s many wildlife management areas. The academy also covers general law enforcement training equal to that of other state law enforcement officers. Now part of the agency’s commissioned of-

ficer staff, the agents will join the ranks of those patrolling land and water to primarily detect game, fish and boating law violations. These duties require travel into Louisiana’s forests, swamps, fields, streams, bayous, lakes, marshlands, the Gulf of Mexico and on the state roadway system.

United raising limit on payments to bumped flyers to $10,000

DALLAS (AP) — United Airlines says it will raise the limit — to $10,000 — on payments to customers who give up seats on oversold flights and will increase training for employees as it deals with fallout from the video of a passenger being violently dragged from his seat.

State of emergency declared in Grand Isle

GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) — A state of emergency was declared for Grand Isle as a levee protecting the barrier island washed away. Jefferson Parish leaders say they’re trying to find a way to make repairs before the June 1 start of hurricane season. WDSU-TV reported continued winds and storms over the weekend have beat on a half-mile portion of the levee on the western side of the island. It requires emergency repairs for the second year in a row. Mayor David Camardelle says the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and the parish are planning to cover the expected $2 million repair. No homes were directly in harm’s way, but Camardelle says the eroding beach was driving tourists away at the peak of the summer season.

House GOP leaders unveil their version of Louisiana budget

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — House Republican lawmakers are advancing a rewritten budget proposal that would spend hundreds of millions less next year than Gov. John Bel Edwards wants. The spending plan would protect the TOPS college tuition program by making cuts to health care. The more than $28 billion operating budget proposal received backing from the House Appropriations Committee in a 17-5 vote Monday. The plan would spend $235 million less in state tax dollars than an income forecasting panel projects Louisiana will receive. Edwards wants to use all dollars available. House Republican leaders worry the projections are too rosy. Most of the money was stripped from the health department, to keep it at current year state financing. But the committee then voted to cut the agency $82 million to fully fund TOPS. _______________

The Grand Isle Independent Levee District met on Wednesday, April 12, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. in a regular meeting at the Grand Isle Multiplex Center with the following commissioners: Present: 3 Commissioners – David Camardelle, Kelly Besson, Sr. and Arthur Bellanger Absent: 0 President Camardelle called the meeting to order and then led with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a prayer. A motion was made by Commissioner Besson, seconded by Commissioner Bellanger and unanimously agreed to approve to amend the agenda adding 7A. A resolution approving the Declaration of Emergency by the Grand Isle Independent Levee District, for the repair of the Grand Isle and Vicinity Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection. A motion was made by Commissioner Besson, seconded by Commissioner Bellanger and unanimously agreed to approve the minutes of the meeting held on March 30, 2017 as read. Mr. Joe Chauvin from GIS Engineering gave the following report: 1. The Hurricane Protection levee tube needs repair and the levee has lost about 12,000 cubic yard of sand. The crown of the levee on the western end is in danger and needs some work. 2. Updating the ATF permit, the COE is waiting for the tolling agreement from the levee district. 3. Working on the 8-year maintenance agreement between the COE and DNR for the Hebert Levee. We are discussing adding the culvert to the levee. The levee is caving in and may need more dirt. 4. Working on the extension for the permit on the Bayside Breakwater Project. 5. Levee inspection is currently being performed and can view the levee

due to the grass getting cut before the inspection. President Camardelle stated that he is working closely with Jefferson Parish to help repair the tube and breach in the Hurricane Protection Levee. We are waiting on the money from Capital Outlay to work on the permit for rocks by Bayou Thunder. Met with Senator Alario, Representative Gisclair, Parish Councilmembers Roberts and Templet keeping them informed about the levee breach and continuing to construct more segmented rock breakwaters on the north side of Grand Isle. The annual levee board conference will be held in May in Baton Rouge and the commissioners attend meeting and meet with federal, state and local officials. Mr. Camardelle stated he is working on building an air strip by Elmer’s Island to help get more tourist to the island. He is also working on getting Elmer’s Island open to some type of access to the beach for public access. Several beaches in Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and other states along the coast have access to their beaches. Mr. Camardelle thanked Senator Alario, Representative Gisclair, Governor Forster, CPRA, Parish Councilmembers Roberts and Templet and federal officials for helping to secure funding and for helping with breach levees or building more breakwaters. We have a good working relationship with our federal, state and local officials to get help with Grand Isle’s current needs. A joint motion was made by the Commissioners of the levee district to introduce the following emergency resolution: Resolution No. 170401 A resolution approving the Declaration of Emergency by the Grand Isle Independent Levee District, for the repair of the Grand Isle and Vicinity Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection.

The study was released during a legislative session in which there are several proposals to boost the state gasoline tax to finance road and bridge improvements and address a $13 billion backlog of transportation work. A panel named by Gov. John Bel Edwards recommended a $700 million increase in annual transportation spending, mostly through a gas tax hike. “We have not invested the way we should have for infrastructure,” said Department of Transportation and Development Secretary Shawn Wilson, who attended the press conference. But so far, none of the key transportation financing bills has received a hearing, and the bills face tough hurdles to passage. The report said road spending is inadequate to ensure federal matching dollars and to finance

western end of the island during the months of February, March and April, 2017 have caused significant damage to the Grand Isle and Vicinity Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection Project in an area on the western end of the project and the Town of Grand Isle. One year ago temporary measures were taken to bolster the sand levee which protects the town and those measures resulted in more erosion and sand being washed away exposing the tube comprising the bulk of the levee therefore making new repairs necessary with the threat of hurricane season and irreparable and immediate harm threatening the residents and property located in the Town of Grand Isle. WHEREAS, the repairs are both necessary and critical to the survival of the residents of the Town of Grand Isle and must begin immediately as hurricane season is upon us and Grand Isle is in a very vulnerable situation as has been evidenced by past history of hurricanes and tidal events and even normal, seasonable weather and tides are creating damage to the levee. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Grand Isle Independent Levee District, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana that: The Declaration of Emergency is hereby acknowledged and the President of the Grand Isle Independent Levee District is authorized and directed to sign and execute any documents needed to assistant the Town of Grand Isle in repairing the western end of the Grand Isle and Vicinity Beach Erosion and Hurricane Protection Project. This resolution was considered section by section and as a whole and was offered jointly by Levee Board Commissioners.
