Councilman questions Community Action travel authorization
‘Sheer brutality’: Police detail Baton Rouge shooting scene
Helping out ‌
Jerry Lafont: “Why do we need to send so many?�
MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
Buster Avera Contributing Writer
A question was raised at last Tuesday’s Parish Council meeting by Councilman Jerry Lafont regarding travel authorization for Community Action (CA) board members, staff and one council member to attend a convention in Texas. The Community Action Partnership Annual Convention, held this year in Austin in late August, offers necessary orientation, policy/procedure, and expertise training for CA board and staff members. Several Lafourche CA members have registered for the event. Their approval to travel and attend the event was signed by Parish Administrator Don Matherne, but Lafont says it should have come before the full council. See Council Page 3-A

A can shake was held in several different locations throughout the parish this past weekend for the families of the police officers wounded or killed in a July 7 shooting incident in Dallas. Unfortunately just several hours later, the same thing occurred a lot closer to home when three officers where killed in a shooting in Baton Rouge. Holding the sign at the Galliano site is Golden Meadow Chief of Police Reggie Pitre while Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office Deputy Luke Bellanger hands out cards and ribbons. In just the South Lafourche area alone, over $6,000 was collected within the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Nicholls students to see an increase in fees
Nicholls State University will increase student fees this semester to help offset a nearly $500,000 state budget cut, officials said. “Nicholls is sensitive to the rising cost of college and is dedicated to finding ways to control tuition and fees as much as possible,� Nicholls President Bruce Murphy said in a news release. “We’re committed to working with students who have financial concerns on an individual basis. Moving forward, we will continue to deliver highquality, affordable and accessible public higher education.� The Legislature funded higher education at the same level as last year, officials said, but a change in the state Board of Regents’ funding formula has resulted in a

$483,251 cut for Nicholls. As a result, the university has added a $15.18-per-credit-hour fee, capped at 12 hours. That equates to $182 per semester for a full-time student. Thanks to a decrease in energy costs, students will see a decrease in existing fees of $26 per semester. Nicholls has not raised tuition in two years, and it remains the lowest among the nine campuses that are part of the University of Louisiana System. In dollars, Nicholls also had the third-lowest fee increase in the system, with most students paying less than $200 more per semester. See Nicholls Page 3-A

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The horrific scene unfolded in a matter of minutes, a black-clad man with military training stalking law enforcement officers and ignoring horrified onlookers as he shot anyone he could find wearing a badge. Police say Gavin Long, 29, of Kansas City, Missouri, brazenly prowled a crime scene of hundreds of yards around a cluster of nondescript buildings along a busy highway, rifle pointed straight ahead as he sought targets. And they say he shot to kill. “It is chilling in the sheer brutality,� Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said Monday, describing surveillance videos that recorded Long as he gunned down three law enforcement officers Sunday and wounded three more before he was shot and killed. “These officers were intentionally targeted and assassinated. It was a calculated act.� Two of the slain officers were from the Baton Rouge Police Department: 32-year-old Montrell Jackson and 41year-old Matthew Gerald. The third was a deputy with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, 45-yearold Brad Garafola. Officials provided the first detailed accounts of the shooting scene Monday, using a map to describe the chaotic shootout with Long. Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie wouldn’t say who was shot at which location, and he hasn’t named his wounded officer. Carrying two rifles and a pistol, Long parked his car near a beauty supply store mid-morning. Gun raised and faced partially covered with a ski mask, he approached a parked police car at the gas station and convenience store next door — only to find the unit empty. See Police Page 3-A

Flat tire
A car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day. The lady driver eases it over onto the shoulder of the road. She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. She then takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic. The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats and appear naked to approaching drivers. Not surprisingly, the
traffic became snarled and backed up. It wasn’t very long before a police car arrives. The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the lady of the disabled vehicle yelling, “What is going on here?” “My car broke down, Officer” says the woman, calmly. “Well, what the heck are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?!” asks the Officer. “Well, those are my emergency flashers!” she replies.

Police
From 1-A
Authorities believe the first 911 call came in, reporting a “dude with a rifle,” as he returned to his car. Undeterred, Long located another possible target at a nearby car wash. But again he was thwarted. Edmonson said by the time the former Marine parked his car, the officer there had driven away. He wasn’t interested in anyone without a badge, officials said “Other people, he totally ignored them. He acted like they weren’t even there,” East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said. Long stalked the area, searching, as more 911 calls poured in and officers arrived. Turning the front corner of the beauty supply store, the gunman spotted his first marks: two Baton Rouge police officers. Without hesitation, Long shot both, Gautreaux said, leaving one dead and the second crawling toward the back of store. Garafola, taking cover behind a dumpster at the store with his gun drawn, tried to rescue his wounded fellow officer — only to run face-to-face into Long. The shooter took aim at Garafola, killing him in a hail of gunfire. Video shows bullets hitting the concrete around him,
Gautreaux said. “My deputy went down fighting. He returned fire until the very end,” the sheriff said. Long then noticed the wounded city police officer on the ground and took two close-range shots, Gautreaux said. With three officers dead, another city police officer caught Long’s attention as he rounded his way back behind the beauty supply store. Long stopped, turned and shot, wounding the officer before heading around back, jumping a wall and running past the convenience store and the car wash. There, sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas Tullier, 41, had returned to his police car after getting the license plate from Long’s rental vehicle. Long fired directly into the car, shooting Tullier in the head and stomach, walking ever closer as he pulled the trigger, Gautreaux said, before exchanging gunfire with Deputy Bruce Simmons, 57. Simmons went down with a shot to the shoulder that required a titanium rod to replace an arm bone shattered by the gunman’s bullet. Tullier’s injuries were even worse. He’s in critical condition, a machine helping him to breathe, “fighting for his life,” Gautreaux said. Before Long could get any nearer, a shot rang out from over a hundred yards away, as an officer with the

city police SWAT unit took down the gunman with the sort of textbook maneuver officers learn in their tactical training. Dabadie called it “a helluva shot.” Authorities say without that shot, they believe Long would have continued the killing spree, possibly driving a short distance down the highway to the Baton Rouge police headquarters. “This guy was going to another location. He was not going to stop here,” Dabadie said pointing to a map laying out the scene of the carnage. “After he was finished here, I have no doubt he was heading to our headquarters and he was going to take more lives.” ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte.

Voters statewide will cast ballots in the race for the U.S. Senate seat now held by retiring Republican David Vitter. Voters in some parts of Lafourche will help elect a U.S. representative for the 1st Congressional District, which Steve Scalise, RMetairie, represents. In south Lafourche, the District 4 constable seat is on the ballot after Carl Doucet died in January. Up for election in Lockport and Golden Meadow are the offices of mayor and police chief, along with five spots each for Town Council members. Lockport Mayor Paul Champagne announced last month that he would not run for a second term, and Lockport Councilman Craig Rogers gave up his seat to run for mayor. Ralph Sapia is running to replace Rogers. No other candidates for any office have submitted campaign announcements. In races with three or more candidates, if no one receives more than half the vote Nov. 8, the top two will compete in a Dec. 10 runoff. The last day to register to vote in the Presidential Election and Congressional Primary Election is Oct. 11; early voting is Oct. 25 through Nov. 1 (except Sunday and holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The polls will be open on Election Day, Nov. 8, from 6 a.m. through 8 p.m. Visit geauxvote.com for information.

All told, mandatory tuition and fees for a fulltime undergraduate — a student taking 12 credit hours, usually four classes — will total $3,638 for the coming fall semester. Of that, $2,461 is tuition; the rest, $1,177, are fees. Two program-specific fees will also be added this fall to help expand the Nicholls nursing programs as well as the master of business administration program, officials said. As was published in the Daily Comet, the university will charge an additional fee of $300 per semester for nursing undergraduate students and $350 per semester for nursing graduate students. Students enrolled in the MBA program will see an additional $50-percredit-hour fee.
Council
From 1-A
According to Lafont, attendees this year are Councilman Jerry Jones, Lafourche Community Action Executive Director Freddia Ruffin-Roberson, Advisory Board members Richmond Boyd and Larry White, and Resource Coordinator Nanette Lazard. An additional staff member who was originally scheduled to attend will not go, he said. In the 2016 parish budget, travel was set at $10,000 for Community Action. The Austin trip will cost about $9100, said Jones. Lafont balked at the necessity of sending all these people to the convention as well as the fact that the travel approval did not go through the proper channels.
“We met with the state and they said Community Action is an advisory board only. They have to come before the Council to get approval for all travel. And I don’t see, with lowest employment rate in 20 years, why do we need to send so many,” said Lafont. “Last year we spent $28,000 to send 10 people to the convention (in San Francisco). It’s disheartening to know we spent that to send so many people. And we have a person going this year who went last year, too,” Lafont continued. “We (Council members) have $18,000 in the budget for travel, and we all agreed not to travel to save money,” he said. Jones responded that some training offered at the Austin convention is required for CA members. “Orientation training is required within the first six months, and policy and procedures training must be attained within two years for any CA member,” he said. “Last year we had a lot of new people who needed training. They had six months to get orientation. The $10,000 budgeted for travel (this year) is for the 2015 CSBG (Community Services Block Grant) contract which finishes in September. We lose the money and it goes to other parishes if we don’t spend it. If you are not abiding by the contract, then you stand a chance of losing the contract. You need to understand how CSBG works,” Jones continued. Some questions were raised by other councilmen regarding whether leftover
money budgeted for travel could be spent elsewhere. District 6 Councilman Corey Perrillioux asked: “If that amount of money is not used for travel, could it be used for the community?” “Can the Director move money into different areas? Can we send fewer people and spend the money elsewhere, like on uniform vouchers or utility bills?” asked Michael Gros of District 3. Former CA Director Denise Hughes, called upon to answer, said board members have to be trained, but the unused travel money could be spent in other areas. And when asked if she was in favor of sending fewer people to the convention, Hughes replied: “Yes, especially when so many people need services here.” “It’s a crying shame that all these people are going on this trip,” said Lafont.

“In a Small Pond” By Leroy Martin Zip Code 70355 Prologue: “Listen to a story about a man named Jed, A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shooting at some food, And up through the ground came a bubbling crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. Now a millionaire, Jed moved away from there.” (Excerpts from “Beverly Hillbillies” theme song.) My analytical mind finds similar parallels with the song and my main subject, with exceptions: “Poor Mountaineer”. My subject was not poor but the Appalachian Mountains were not far from his home in Louisville, Kentucky. The fact that his name, Charles, doesn’t rhyme with Jed or Fed is immaterial. “Shooting for food”: He didn’t have to. His father had left him financially proficient. “Patch”: His patch of land with “bubblin’ crude” was a continuous 50,000 acres of farm land in Lafourche Parish known as the Golden Ranch Plantation. Today it’s Gheens, Louisiana 70355. His name was C. (Charles) Edwin Gheens (1878-1961). A Brief Biography Typhoid fever prevented him from attending Yale University but after recovering in 1899 he bought into a Louisville candy factory which he took over as the Bradas-Gheens Candy Company in 1920. He married Mary Jo Lazarus (1891-1982) and in 1927 they journeyed to New Orleans to visit the sugarcane plantation his father had bought after the Civil War, 50 miles southwest of the city. Gheens found that the heavily mortgaged land was about to be sold due to earlier financial reversals suffered by his father. Wisely, he bought it. It was a good move! Less than 10 years later, Amerada-Hess struck oil and Mr. C. Edwin Gheens, already a wealthy man became a multi-millionaire. He traveled often to manage his Golden Ranch plantation with over 100 sharecroppers. He was a kind owner who furnished medical care and housing for his workers. I am fond of the Gheens community, having made many friends there through the years. I kidnapped Louis Breaux to play in my band when he

was ten years old. (Just kidding, but he was very young). Louis, whose father Harry managed South Coast’s Home Place store, told me he often saw Mr. Gheens chatting with his Dad while drinking a coke. Louis described him as a very frugal man, but you know Louie, that’s how you get to become a millionaire. Musician Lawrence “Dupe the Drifter” Dupre and members of the Triche/Dufrene Brothers
band, Clarence, Lester and Jerry, were also good friends and I recently lost one, Lafourche Parish Councilman Lindel Toups, a first class public official. I played several benefits through the years in Gheens and campaigned for Assessors Hubert Robichaux, myself and son Michael. We always carried the boxes. Thanks Gheens!
A Lafourche Parish street in central Lafourche is named after another friend, Police Juror Johnny Dufrene. That’s not accomplished without merit. I often had coffee with Shedrick Dominique at his grocery store on my official rounds until he left for his school bus route. How I met Mr. Gheens: Owning 50,000 acres
of land in Lafourche Parish made Mr. Gheens a major taxpayer, and, as most taxpayers, he often visited Assessor Hubert Robichaux’s office to discuss taxes. They were both soft spoken men but sometimes their “soft” conversations could be heard through the wall. Who likes taxes? My duties were to fetch documents and serve coffee. In 1958, Mr. Robichaux and I were preparing to drive to Cleveland, Ohio, for an Assessors’ conference and he said, “Leroy you know we’re driving through Louisville Kentucky, Mr. Gheens’ home town. I have always treated him fairly and he often invited me to visit him if I’m ever in his city.
5-A
Call him.” I did and his wife Mary Jo answered the phone with the sweetest southern accent I had heard since Gone with the Wind. I handed Hubert the phone. “He really wants me to visit and have lunch with him at his mansion. We’ll stop. He might have something for us.” We did and he had! That week we left for Cleveland with visions of material things like watches, diamond tie pins or gold cuff links in our heads. Next week, I’ll give you an inventory of the gifts we received. Bye now! Comments are welcomed at: leroymartin1929@gmail.com

Grand Isle Gas System Public Awareness Notice
Please read the following gas system safety information. It is provided to promote public awareness and damage prevention awareness. The Town of Grand Isle owns and operates a natural gas distribution system. The gas system consists of an underground network of pipelines throughout the Town. The purpose of the gas system is to provide a reliable and safe economical source of energy for heating purposes to the homes and businesses adjacent to the underground gas pipelines. The pipeline system has the capacity to reliably deliver natural gas to the customers. The hazards of natural gas are that it is: odorless, colorless, tasteless, lighter than air and can ignite and/or explode with tremendous force when mixed with the right amount of air. Prevention measures taken include: • Adding odorant to the gas to give it that distinctive smell, similar to rotten eggs, to warn us of its presence • Testing the odorant level each calendar quarter • Performing annual gas leakage surveys • Conducting periodic pipeline patrols The following are signs that may indicate a gas leak: • A hissing or roaring sound (caused by escaping gas) • A patch of dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green setting along a pipeline route • Blowing dirt, grass or leaves near a pipeline • Continuous bubbling in wet, flooded areas • A “gas smell,” similar to rotten eggs Safety Procedure: Anyone who may smell this odor in the Town or notice any unusual conditions on or near gas mains, vents, service lines, meter sets, or especially inside of a building should call the Town immediately. If you smell a strong gas odor inside a building, notify everyone in the building to leave. Do not operate any switches or use the phone. Go a safe distance away upwind of the gas smell and call the Town of Grand Isle. With any gas leak protect life first then property, then notify the Town of Grand Isle. Excavator Procedure: Pipeline markers are maintained to inform the public of the gas line location. State and federal laws require excavators to notify LA One-Call two (2) full working days before digging. If any excavation is planned you must notify LA One-Call, which will notify the Town to locate the gas lines. The Town of Grand Isle maintains membership in the LA One-Call program. Emergency Contact Information: To obtain additional information or report a gas related issue call the Town of Grand Isle. The Town of Grand Isle phone number is 985-787-3196 (24 hour). The LA One-Call Center phone number is 811. This information and the pipeline signs are provided as public awareness and damage prevention awareness notices.
Legal advertisement OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE GREATER LAFOURCHE PORT COMMISSION June 8, 2016
The Board of Commissioners of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission met in regular session on Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 10:30 AM at the Administration Building 16829 East Main Street, Galliano, LA.

Neil Malbrough reported working on the management plan for a complete study start to finish for the Section 203 Feasibility Study. There are team meetings set for the end of June but in the meantime we have been notified by the Corps that the memorandum of agreement has been approved by the district office and on its way to the Vicksburg office. Chiasson stated Mr. Autin did receive an electronic copy yesterday of the MOA and after review we responded with the few minor grammatical errors. He stated once the MOA is approved and sent back we can sign it and move on. Malbrough stated that we are setting up with the Corps a Kickoff meeting for mid-July. Davie Breaux reported the LA 3090 Overlay project is complete and the contractor is doing final cleanup of the area. Joni Tuck reported on the Geotube Beach Repairs project. We did have a FEMA site visit on May 26th. We are working with Larry Picciola for the design and also contacting estuary agencies for any issues with nesting areas on the beach. Breaux stated we contributed $100,000 to the Town of Golden Meadow for the Floodwall Improvements/Bulkhead project. The project is $1.2 million and our contribution went towards the Town’s match. Material of wooden piles and vinyl bulkhead sheets are on site and they have started to drive the piles. Melancon stated this helped out with the Port’s bayou stabilization program good money for a good cause. We appreciate the Town getting this done. Update from South Louisiana Economic Council (SLEC) – Vic Lafont handed out the 2015 SLEC Annual Review which listed the projects and programs they deal with. Lafont then reported on some upcoming projects and programs such as: SLEC monitors all bills effecting industry with legislation that benefit the financial viability of the region. They will be working with the Parish to upgrade their economic department services to a higher level. They coordinated with Restore or Retreat in working for our coast setting up workshops to provide direction to local companies on how to participate in land restoration projects in restoring our coast. They will help the Port to develop
a marketing campaign to promote and publicize both the water and air services of this bayou region. SLEC is conducting a region wide survey to determine what and how our services should be directed during this downturn in our economy. SLEC is spearheading an Industrial Trades Job Fair on June 10th from 9AM – 1PM at Fletcher Technical College in Schriever to help connect unemployed residents of our region with those companies with job opportunities within driving distance of the bayou parishes. They commissioned a study of the Manning Camp which yielded $4.5 million impact to our community from tourism, housing, and entertainment. SLEC will be hosting a round table event between the Port of Progresso from the Yucatan and the four bayou ports on June 27th to discuss and explore common ground on shipping and trade opportunities across the waters of the Gulf. SLEC members are involved with the Super Region Committee that will be participating in a canvasing tour of the Panama Canal region of Mexico on September 20th to explore common ground. SLEC will be coordinating the business assistance part of a Business Expo hosted jointly by Thibodaux and South Lafourche Chambers on September 30th to bring some survival assistance to those local companies largely affected by the downturn of the oil and gas industry. Lastly, SLEC has teamed up with Baton Rouge Area Chamber and GNO, Inc. to participate in an EDA grant program for the purpose of marketing specific industrial sectors that effects regional economies. P. Gisclair questioned by dealing with economy figures daily do you have future predictions, which Lafont replied SLEC does have a business barometer on their website at bayouregion.com which has quarterly reports of jobs lost, gained, rig counts, etc. but from what he is seeing it does not look good. Some say oil prices will get better in 6 months while others say 18 months. Committee Reports Executive Committee - The committee met on May 25th in Fourchon present was Cheramie, Griffin, P.

Port Attorney Bryce Autin stated this agreement allows our tenants to collateralize moveable equipment and inventory on their site.

Upon motion by Melancon second by Collins, with no public comment, the board unanimously approved the out of state travel request from Chett Chiasson to attend meetings regarding the Port and LA 1 with our congressional delegation, Corps of Engineers, and other government agencies in Washington, DC July 13 – 15th. Upon motion by Melancon second by Gaudet, the board unanimously approved the payment of May 2016 in-
voices and recognized expenditures over $10,000 which total $2,070,083.29. Melancon then presented for the board’s consideration approving the 2015 Financial Audit. Karla Tipton, CPA with Lanaux & Felger presented to the board the highlights of the financial statements. She stated that there are 3 reports that are involved in the audit. The first report is the Independent Auditor’s Report which resulted in an unmodified opinion which is the best one to get. This opinion states that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects in accordance to general accepted accounting principles. The second report is the Yellow Book Report also known as the governmental auditing standards which resulted in no compliance findings and no deficiencies in internal controls. The third report is the Single Audit Report resulted in an unmodified opinion on compliance with federal program requirements and no deficiencies in internal controls. The big change for this audit was the implementation of the new pension accounting standard which is GASB Statement No. 68. This standard was applied “retrospectively”. It requires employers to record their share of unfunded liabilities of the multi-employer pensions which they participate. Most employees participate in LASERS with one in the Teacher’s Retirement System. In 2014 beginning balances were restated to increase pension liabilities and decrease unrestricted net position by $6,992,403. The 2014 Pension Expense increased by $334,924. As of December 31, 2014, net pension liability was $7,670,496. In 2015 Pension Expense increased by $125,486. As of December 31, 2015, net pension liability was $8,334,774. This also required additional footnote disclosures and schedules. Some financial highlights are: net position of $258.3 million (8.4% increase from 2014), annual operating revenues of $26 million (.6% increase), cash and cash equivalents of $68 million (.8% increase). The Port had operating profits of $5.9 million (15.7% decrease from 2014), net income before capital grants of $11.2 million (5.9% decrease), capital grants of $8 million and expense grants of $1.9 million. The total revenue and capital additions by source are identified on a graph as 64% of self-generated fees, 20% of state and federal capital construction grants, 11% of ad valorem taxes, 4% of state and federal operating & maintenance grants, and 1% of other. The total operating income by source identified on a graph as 97% seaport revenue and 3% airport revenue which is same as last year. The total operating expense by function as 53% seaport expenses, 19% administrative, 19% harbor police, and 9% airport cost. The total expenses and other uses of funds are identified on a graph as 42% of capital construction and purchased equipment, 19% of depreciation and disposal of assets, 13% salaries and benefits, 10% lease expense, 6% maintenance supplies and operating facilities, 6% other operating expenses, and 4% hurricane damage repairs. She then presented a bar graph that shows the difference from capital construction grants versus expenditures and in 2015 it shows that with $16.5 million of construction approximately $7 million was self-funded and $9.3 million was funded by grants. She then presented a 2014 comparison chart to other ports of similar size to Fourchon such as Iberia, Lake Charles, St. Bernard, and Baton Rouge. This resulted in total assets ranking Fourchon with over $276 million of assets second to the Port of Lake Charles at $362 million of assets. The comparison of net operating revenue generated by investments and fixed assets which looks at the total amount invested versus generated revenue leaves the Port at 28% profit margin for an annual return of 14.2% on investment which is very strong for the Port. She then thanked the Port for time and years of service Lanaux & Felger has with the Port appreciate working with administration. Gaudet questioned when the pension unfunded actuary projections will break even, which Mark Felger replied there is a state law that requires them to get these numbers under control within a 20 – 25 year period but we are not sure of when that will be. From the graph shown earlier that covered 6 years, we are not seeing progress of
closing that gap. Pension plans are generally funded 55% - 65% some are better funded than others. Attempts were made 2 years ago by legislator to get this under control by limiting pensions for new employees, however it did not pass. The state has other fiscal problems at this point so pension issues are not on their radar. Felger does not see it getting better anytime soon. For the Port, the amount of money showing on the books is pretty insignificant in comparison to a parish, city, or school system which has most expenses tied up in labor. Chiasson stated our audit has historically been good and we appreciate the work and support Lanaux & Felger gives us and it is good to know our office is doing a good job following all the rules and laws. The cash and cash equivalent of $68 million in the bank is a lot of money but we have a plan for the next 15-20 years that will cost a half a billion dollars. $68 million will not go a long way if we are looking at doing things in the future that will cost $500 million. It is important for the public to know yes we do have money on hand to get things done to continue growing the port and airport and provide jobs for the community but we do have bigger plans than that. Gaudet then congratulated and thanked Mr. Rome for doing a good job on the audit. Mark Felger stated that the Port
