Police losing battle to get drivers to put down their phones DENISE LAVOIE, AP Legal Affairs Writer
WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass. (AP) — State troopers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have been known to patrol in a tractor-trailer so they can sit up high and spot drivers texting behind the wheel. In Bethesda, Maryland, a police officer disguised himself as a homeless man, stood near a busy intersection and radioed ahead to officers down the road about texting drivers. In two hours last October, police gave out 56 tickets. And in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, south of Boston, an officer regularly tools around town on his bicycle, pedals up to drivers at stoplights and hands them $105 tickets. Texting while driving in the U.S. is not just a dangerous habit, but also an infuriatingly widespread one, practiced both brazenly and surreptitiously by so many motorists that police are being forced to get creative — and still can’t
seem to make much headway. “It’s everyone, kids, older people — everyone. When I stop someone, they say, ‘You’re right. I know it’s dangerous, but I heard my phone go off and I had to look at it,’” said West Bridgewater Officer Matthew Monteiro. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates nearly 3,500 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers in the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico in 2015, up from almost 3,200 in 2014.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards says the state had more than $8.7 billion in damage from catastrophic flooding in August, and the figure will increase as officials finish assessing damage to roads and other public infrastructure. The governor’s office Saturday released a letter Edwards sent Friday to President Barack Obama. In it, the Democratic governor asked that Congress this month approve $2 billion in federal aid for Louisiana for housing, economic development and infrastructure. He said it’s a “very reasonable request,” adding to other programs assisting in Louisiana’s flood recovery, such as aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. See Flood Page 3-A

Parking space
A woman was driving down the street in a sweat because she had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking space. Looking up toward heaven, she said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find
me a parking place I’ll go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up drinking wine.” Miraculously, a parking space opened up right in front of her destination. The woman looked up to heaven and said, “Never mind, Lord; I found one on my own.”

Flood
From 1-A
“While short-term relief for immediate needs available through FEMA for items such as temporary rental assistance, essential home repairs and other disaster-related needs are greatly needed and greatly appreciated, our full recovery will not be realized without additional help,” Edwards wrote. A storm that started Aug. 12 dumped as much as 2 feet of rain in some parts of Louisiana over two days, and the flooding has been described as the worst disaster in the U.S. since Superstorm Sandy struck the East Coast in 2012. Edwards said flood damage has been documented to more than 55,000 houses in Louisiana, and that could double as aid applications and inspections continue. More than 80 percent of damaged homes lacked flood insurance because most were outside the 100year flood plain. He said
READY EW FOR A N LOOK?
initial evaluations show the majority of flooded households were for people with low to moderate incomes, and 20 percent were renters. More than 6,000 businesses flooded, with more than $2.2 billion in damages to buildings, equipment and inventory, Edwards said. He also said there are “conservative estimates” of more than $110 million in damage to agriculture. Estimates are that about 30 state roads washed out and 1,400 bridges will need to be inspected, the governor said. Edwards said he has asked all members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation to support the request for $2 billion in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery money, and to ask their colleagues to approve it. “The majority of these citizens did not carry flood insurance, and I impress upon you that they will not be able to make critical decisions on rebuilding their homes and their lives without the availability of CDBG-DR funds,” Edwards wrote to the president. “This additional assistance is critical to Louisiana’s full recovery from these floods.” ____ Emily Wagster Pettus reported from Jackson, Mississippi.

Gas Prices From 1-A
mand, but take note - it could be just the third time in a decade prices are rising ahead of Labor Day,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “While today’s trend may lead to some frustration, gas prices are likely to soon revert, leaving behind what has been the cheapest summer at the pump in over a decade.” According to Gas-
Buddy analysts, gasoline prices have remained low even in light of high gasoline demand due to rampant oil production, leading supply to outpace demand for several years, causing oil inventories to bulge and depressing oil prices. In addition, as U.S. production has increased over the last several years, oil producing countries have been fighting to win back market share. Saudi Arabia was a key player in driving oil prices down by announcing a new strategy to pump as much as they could late in 2014. The downturn accelerated when sanctions on Iran were eased, leading Iran to boost production and fight for market share against Saudi Arabia and the United States. The U.S. national average for a gallon of gasoline is likely to close out the summer driving season having averaged $2.24 per gallon compared to 2015’s summer average of $2.70 per gallon. A gallon of unleaded costs an average $2.08 a gallon recently in the Houma-Thibodaux metro area, comprised of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, according to GasBuddy.com. GasBuddy data shows that since 2005, gas prices between the end of August and Labor Day have dropped seven out of ten times, with prices averaging a 2-cent decline. The largest jump was in 2005 when gas prices shot up 20 cents as Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. and oil rigs in the Gulf. With the conclusion of Labor Day weekend comes the end of the summer
driving season in the world’s largest gasoline consuming country, setting the stage for gasoline demand and prices to fall. In addition, EPA’s
US rig count up 8 this week to 497
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by eight this week to 497. A year ago, 864 rigs were active. Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 407 rigs sought oil and 88 explored for natural gas this week. Two were listed as miscellaneous. Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Texas gained four rigs each, Pennsylvania was up two, while North Dakota and West Virginia increased by one apiece. Louisiana declined by seven and Colorado one. Alaska, Arkansas, California, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah were unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404. ___

The City Council voted for removal in December, leading to the court fight. Three statues honor Confederate commanders Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard and Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

5,300-gallon oil spill being cleaned in south La.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Coast Guard says a south Louisiana pipeline has been secured and authorities are investigating what caused roughly 5,300 gallons of crude oil to leak near Bay Long (located between Grand Isle and Empire). The Coast Guard in New Orleans received a report Monday about the leak from a pipeline owned by Harvest Pipeline Company. The pipeline was struck by a Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company vessel that was doing excavation. An oil spill response organization, ECM Maritime Services, has been contracted to manage cleanup. Coast Guard crews have conducted aerial assessments of the site.

children but “Chee-Kin” Martin’s memory will long endure. “Thy grandeur was brief but Oh! So brilliant” … a quote from James Dean’s eulogy that applies
“In a Small Pond” By Leroy Martin Housekeeping and Sports
My column is often snail-mailed or emailed to friends and relatives I write about who do not receive the Lafourche Gazette. I often hear from them. Example: In a recent column about the tragic drowning at 19 of my grade school friend Curtis Leblanc, I lacked his picture. I later heard from his sister and relatives who were mailed the column and they kindly sent one. I always post the column on my Facebook page for friends who live outside TLG distributing area and I ask my many FB friends to do the same for former area residents who now live outside the parish and state and in foreign countries. I have FB friends in England, France, Canada, Belgium, the Middle East and many others countries. I recently asked my readers to claim several sets of Encyclopedias no longer needed thanks to the internet. They were claimed as soon as TLG was delivered. I found 2
Drivers From 1-A
The number of deaths in which cellphones were the distraction rose from 406 in 2014 to 476 in 2015. But many safety advocates say crashes involving cellphones are vastly underreported because police are forced to rely on what they are told by drivers, many of whom aren’t going to admit they were using their phones. “You don’t have a Breathalyzer or a blood test to see if they are using their phones,” said Deborah Hersman, president and chief executive of the National Safety Council and former chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board. “Certainly, law enforcement can ask people, ‘Can I see your phone?’ but people can refuse, so they then have to get a search warrant.” Forty-six states have laws against texting while driving that typically also ban sending or reading email, using apps or engaging in other internet activity. Fourteen states bar drivers from using handheld cellphones for any activity, including talking. While efforts to discourage texting have increased in recent years, the consensus among police, safety advocates and drivers is that the problem is only getting worse.

more sets, one a 16-book set, “The United States Encyclopedia of History”, and a seven coffee table size set of “The History of World War II”. Call me at 985-4757306 to claim them. Would the nice lady who claimed the “World Book” set pick up volume “N-O” that was left behind? All are in first class condition, which means I didn’t use them much, hence my naivete. About sports: I was never an avid sports fan spending my spare time, weekends and holidays playing music. But I do follow, on TV and radio, the Saints, Green Wave, Tigers and our local teams. Last week my first cousin Curtis Martin’s picture at the C.P. telethon on TLG brought back memories of two episodes in his life that I witnessed, one happy, one sad. They were mentioned in a previous column, but here are more details and pictures. In my years in the Assessor’s office I was given tickets to athletic events by tax representatives. It was not illegal although there
was a value limit. First it was tickets to the Astrodome in Houston for Astro baseball and L.S.U. football when they played there. Later the Superdome and the Saints. But when the Saints became winners, the tickets stopped coming. Now more important people wanted them. I vividly remember one LSU-Rice game because Curtis “Chee-Kin”(*) Martin was an all-star LSU Tiger. (Curtis is the son of Victor, my dad Roosevelt’s brother). Because of family pride, Dot and I drove to Houston and the game soon became 44 to 0 in favor of the Tigers. I met engineer Marco Picciola II at the food bar who greeted me with “Wow! What a great game, right Leroy?” I answered, “Marco, I want the Tigers to win and I am enjoying seeing “Chee-Kin” having a field day, but forty four to nothing … come on, where’s the drama and suspense?” He answered
In New York, texting tickets soared from about 9,000 in 2011 to nearly 85,000 in 2015. In Massachusetts, they rocketed from about 1,100 to a little over 6,100 over the same period. In California, the number of people found guilty of texting while driving climbed from under 3,000 in 2009 to over 31,000 in 2015. Everywhere they look, police see drivers staring at their phones. “We did see one driver who had two phones going at one time — one in his left hand and one in his right hand, with his wrist on the steering wheel,” said Lt. Paul Watts, a Virginia state trooper. West Bridgewater Police Chief Victor Flaherty said: “We’ve seen cars in trees. We’ve had two houses hit within three weeks. We had a car off the road 100 yards before it hit a parking lot.” Enforcement is difficult, in part because it’s hard to prove texting violations in states that allow drivers to talk on handheld cellphones. “For the normal officer, in a car, it’s very difficult to tell if someone is texting or just using their phone in another way,” Flaherty said. In Florida, texting is a secondary offense, meaning that even if police spot drivers texting, they can’t be stopped unless the officer sees another violation, such as speeding. Police gave out just 1,359 citations for texting in 2015. Drivers have also become sneakier. Instead of resting their phones against the steering wheel, they hold them down low to make it more difficult for police to see what’s going on. “Some people call it the red-light prayer because their heads are bowed and they are looking down at their laps with a nice blue glow coming up in their face,” said Chris Cochran, a spokesman for the California Office of Traffic Safety. In New York, some lawmakers proposed equipping police with a device called the Textalyzer. An officer investigating a crash could use it to check the driver’s phone for any activity be-
fore the wreck. The idea ran into legal objections and has not been put to a vote. Fines for first offenses range from $20 to $500. In some states, such as New York, drivers caught texting also get points on their driving record, which can lead to higher insurance rates. Some states have increased the penalties, including Louisiana, which raised its fine for first-time offenders from $175 to up to $500. But safety advocates have focused more on pushing for better enforcement, said Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association. Surveys show that most drivers know the dangers of using their phones while driving but that many do it anyway. Jay Winsten, director of the Center for Health Communication at Harvard’s School of Public Health, is working on a major media campaign against distracted driving. The center spearheaded the successful 1980s campaign that promoted the use of designated drivers to combat drunken driving. In addition to warning drivers not to use their phones, the new campaign will promote defensive driving, urging motorists to watch out for distracted drivers. “We’re trying to get the attention of people by not talking to them as the villain, but rather as the other guy,” Winsten said. In the meantime, Officer Monteiro can’t pedal his bike fast enough to get to all the drivers he sees texting. One day, he caught a teenager playing Pokemon Go on his phone while driving. Another time, he caught a woman watching YouTube videos. Both got slapped with $105 tickets. The teenager also faces a 60-day suspension of his license. Vinny Fiasconaro, 30, got a warning after Monteiro saw him using the calculator on his phone at a stop sign. Fiasconaro shook his head sheepishly. “I was in the wrong,” he said. “You should be focusing on the road. You should pay attention.”
“Lee, I don’t care if it would be 100 to 0, it’s a great game and I’m having a great time!” Now there was an avid L.S.U. fan. (*) The nickname came from his older brother the late Lanny Martin who was so good playing Golden Meadow High School basketball that he was nicknamed “Goose” after “Goose” Tatum, the great Harlem Globe Trotter. So Curtis was nicknamed “Chicken”, another feathered friend, but pronounced “Chee-Kin” by his fellow Cajuns and everybody else.) The Saints had signed free-agent tight end Curtis Martin after his playing days with L.S.U. were over and sports writers raved about him “catching anything that came his way” at Saints training camp. Dot and I watched his first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and everything was going great when, in the fifth play from scrimmage the cartilage on both sides of his left knee were ripped apart. He had been a hero to the Cajuns since L.S.U. but his football days were over. A very sad day indeed! He settled down with a successful job, wife and

Tarpons, Trojans roll in Week 1 Gazette Sports Reports
New South Lafourche head football coach Brandon Nowlin didn’t have to wait too long to get his first win as a Tarpon. South Lafourche rolled on Friday night, overcoming a 24-21 third-quarter deficit in stride, rallying forward to a 40-24 seasonopening victory against Bonnabel to start the team’s season. The win is Nowlin’s first in Galliano after he was hired over the summer to lead the Tarpons program. He said the night is one he’ll never forget, adding that the first win of every season is special. “We got one,” Nowlin said with a smile after the win. “The night, the atmosphere – everything about it was special. The kids enjoyed it and I enjoyed it. Now, we have to focus on getting better and fixing mistakes. That’s always easier to do after a win than when you came up on

the other side of things. We’re happy, and we want to build on that next Friday night.” For the Tarpons, that first win sure didn’t come easy. For the first three quarters of Friday’s game, the Bruins were every bit the equal of the Tarpons. South Lafourche struck first, forcing a defensive stop and then converting a blocked punt into a Jeremy Rogers touchdown to take an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter. But the Bruins answered back on the next drive, scoring a long touchdown run from Maurice Britton to tie the game at 7-all. But the Tarpons had an answer, producing a long drive capped by Allen’s first touchdown of the game to go up 14-7 late in the first quarter. Sophomore Brock Bailleaux started at quarterback for South Lafourche after Cheramie was levied a one-quarter suspension for a violation of team rules. Nowlin said Bailleaux’s play inspired the offense and set the tone. The Tarpons took a 1410 lead into halftime after Bonnabel scored a late field goal before intermission. “He did a really good job,” Nowlin said. “We trust him. He’s a good player. He wouldn’t have been back there if he wasn’t.” In the second half, special teams roared for Bonnabel, as the Bruins scored touchdowns on both a kickoff return and a fake punt to boost a struggling offense. But South Lafourche
BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer
One of the many extra points kicked Friday night during the South Lafourche / Bonnabel game.
Just up the road from Galliano in Mathews, the Central Lafourche football team spent its Friday night proving that there’s a reason why there are two halves to every regulation game. The Trojans were awful in the first half on Friday night, falling behind Patterson 12-0 at halftime, thanks to sloppy play and poor execution. But in the second half, Central Lafourche stabilized itself and dominated, roaring to a 22-12 win – the second-straight season the Trojans beat the Lumberjacks to kick off the season. “We weren’t worried (at
halftime),” Menard said. “I told the kids, ‘That’s about as bad as you can play, and you’re only down 120.’ We got ourselves together, made some adjustments and walked away with the win.” For the Trojans, a lot of those adjustments had to come on the offensive side of the ball. Central Lafourche was woeful offensively in the first half, generating just 41 total yards, while coughing up possessions twice. The Jacks took advantage of the miscues, taking first a 6-0 and then a 12-0 lead on touchdowns from receiver Jordan Butler and then halfback Dajon Richard to quiet the homestanding Trojans crowd. “That was maybe as poorly as we’ve played since I’ve been here, to tell you the truth,” Menard said. But in the second half, Central Lafourche righted its ship, getting on the board first when quarterback Jake Allemand hit receiver Gage Bourg on a touchdown strike to cut the lead to 12-7. Allemand later added two more touchdown passes to push the Trojans in front – a lead which held up because of a dominant defensive effort. “I thought we did an excellent job on that side of the ball,” Menard said. “Patterson had some athletes and we did a good job limiting their big plays and getting off the field on third downs.” With the win, Central Lafourche is now 1-0 on the season. The Trojans will face a stiff test in Week 2 – a road tilt with the red-hot Vandebilt Terriers. That game is on the road and will kickoff at 7 p.m. on Friday night. The Trojans beat Vandebilt in overtime last season.
Larose native Justin LeBlanc was recently hired as the new women’s basketball coach at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., on Aug. 7. LeBlanc previously spent the last six years as a coach at Centenary College of Shreveport, working five years as a men’s basketball assistant coach and one season as a head women’s basketball coach. LeBlanc, a 2002 graduate of South Lafourche High School, played basketball at NCAA Division III Millsaps College from 2002-06, leading the Majors to four SCAC tournament appearances. He also worked as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Millsaps for four years before joining Centenary in 2010. LeBlanc’s grandfather was Rene LeBlanc, a former legendary head bas-
ketball coach at Larose-Cut Off High School and S o u t h Lafourche from 1956Justin LeBlanc 77. Rene LeBlanc, who died at age 81 in 2013, won more than 500 career games and the Larose-Cut Off Gym is named in his honor. Justin LeBlanc also gets to coach former South Lafourche girls’ basketball player Caroline Guilbeau, who played a major role in the Lady Tarpons finishing the 2015-16 season with a 25-8 overall record and a share of the District 7-4A championship. The Lady Tarpons advanced to the second round of the Class 4A playoffs, losing to St. Michael, 47-38.
had an answer for every Bruins blow, scoring two third-quarter touchdowns of their own to carry a 2824 lead into the fourth quarter – one score on a long pass from Cheramie to Jelby Cheramie in the back of the end zone and another on a 71-yard scamper from Jaydon Cheramie. In the fourth quarter, Bonnabel ran out of gas, and the Tarpons hit the accelerator, leading twostraight scoring drives – each capped by touchdowns from Allen to push the game to its final margin. Allen said the win was big for the team after a loss in the preseason jamboree. The halfback credited the team’s offensive line with the win. “We had big holes to run,” Allen said. “Those guys need a lot of credit. They did a great job.” With the win, South Lafourche is 1-0 on the season. The Tarpons will carry that unblemished record into Friday night’s meeting with Carver. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. ___ Trojans run past Jacks
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Unabashed optimist that he is, Drew Brees might be the last person to downgrade expectations for a New Orleans Saints squad coming off a winless preseason. “I’ve been part of plenty of preseasons where, man, we looked like rock stars .. . and then we had a slow start” to the regular season, Brees said. “I’ve also been on teams where we looked awful in the preseason and we jumped out to a fast start. So does preseason perfectly indicate what’s going to happen at the start of the season? No.” The Saints are coming off two straight 7-9 campaigns — their first consecutive losing seasons since Sean Payton became coach in 2006. Other than Brees, right tackle Zach Strief, punter Thomas Morstead and safety Roman Harper (reacquired in free agency), the current Saints bear little resemblance to the 2009 team Payton coached to a Super Bowl title. There is now lots of youth in key positions, which can be a liability, but also can mean there’s considerable potential for improvement. “We’ve been able to win a lot of games here with a certain formula. I felt like we lost that formula a little bit for the last two years and hopefully we’re back on track,” Brees said. “I like our team. I like the work ethic. I like the approach of these guys. ... You want toughness, character, guys that love football and that love to compete and I feel like we have those elements, and now it’s got to all come together.” At 37, Brees’ skills do not appear diminished; he led the NFL in yards passing last season. He also is highly motivated because he is entering the final season of his contract. If his offensive line holds up — which is no guarantee given its preseason form — Brees should have the talent he needs at receiver,

tight end and running back to move the ball — particularly with the addition of tight end Coby Fleener. But that won’t neces sarily produce victories if the defense, which has ranked second-to-last two years running, doesn’t improve under coordinator Dennis Allen, who took over last November when Rob Ryan was fired. Allen has put a premium on organizational details in an effort to eliminate confusion with substitutions and pre-snap alignment which dogged the unit a year ago. New Orleans also has a number of new players on that side of the ball, but first-round draft choice Sheldon Rankins, a projected starter at defensive tackle, might not be available for a couple months because of a broken fibula suffered during training camp. Allen said he saw his unit “trending in the right direction” during the preseason, but also stressed, “I do not think you ever really 100 percent for sure know until you start playing real games.” Here are some things to watch as Saints try to become relevant in the NFC playoff race again: LINE ITEMS: Highly regarded left tackle Terron Armstead has sat out numerous recent practices and preseason games with nagging injuries, so he enters the season with his durability in question. Payton planned to start 2015 first-round choice Andrus Peat at right guard, but moved him to left guard later this preseason. Peat was drafted as a tackle, but the Saints hope he has the versatility to thrive at guard while veterans Armstead and Zach Strief occupy the tackle spots. Veteran Max Unger remains at center and young linemen Senio Kelemete and Tim Lelito are competing at right guard.

came the latest addition to a revamped defense whose new faces also include linebackers James Laurinaitis, Craig Robertson and Nathan Stupar; defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins, Nick Fairley and David Onyemata; and defensive backs Vonn Bell, Erik Harris, De’Vante Harris and Ken Crawley. Meanwhile, projected starting cornerback P.J. Williams is a 2015 draft pick who is new to the active roster because he spent his rookie season on injured reserve. TOUTING THOMAS: Michael Thomas, a rookie receiver drafted in the second round out of Ohio State, has made a slew of spectacular plays in practice and preseason games. Payton wasn’t inclined to downplay the hype surrounding his newest threat in the passing game. “I don’t follow fantasy football, but, shoot, I’d try to have him,” Payton said. YOUTH MOVEMENT: A number of players with no regular-season experience are expected to start or contribute regularly this season. They include Thomas, Rankins, Williams, Bell, Tull, De’Vonte Harris, Erik Harris and Crawley. Onyemata also could emerge. Starters or regulars with only one full season of experience include Peat, cornerback Delvin Breaux, linebacker Stephone Anthony, and receivers Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman.
