Report: Lockport Police vehicle purchases violated law
Y
The town of Lockport accidentally violated public lease law and public bid law in buying police vehicles, according to a report the Louisiana Legislative W Auditor’s office released Monday. Stagni and Co. accounting firm reviewed Lockport’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30. The report says the town entered into a leasepurchase agreement with Ford Motor Credit Co. in October 2015 to buy two police vehicles at a total initial cost of $70,862. In violation of public lease law, Lockport did not get prior written approval from the Louisiana State Bond Commission to enter into the agreement.

adult problem gamblers statewide. A problem gambler is someone who is at-risk for addiction. • There are 98,020 potential adult pathological or compulsive gamblers in Louisiana. • Also, a 2010 Louisiana youth survey found that more than 40 percent of sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grade students have engaged in some form of gambling in the previous year. • Calls to the toll-free Problem Gamblers Helpline show that females represented 42 percent of the callers and males represented 48 percent. • Most of the callers identified themselves as either Caucasian (50 percent) or African American (43 percent). To raise awareness about Louisiana’s services for those experiencing problems with gambling, Gov. John Bel Edwards has declared March 2017 as Problem Gambling Awareness Month. See Gambling Page 3-A

Gov. Edwards recommends Louisiana coastal projects to Trump
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards sent President Donald Trump a list Wednesday of Louisiana’s high-priority coastal projects, for consideration as the White House pushes for new infrastructure projects.

“She is instrumental in the process of securing these types of funds to rebuild Louisiana’s coastline,” said Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle. “The Barataria Marsh Creation and Ridge Restoration project will receive $434,760 towards the goal of re-establishing emergent wetlands in the western Barataria Basin, an area that has seen catastrophic land loss. The Grand Bayou Freshwater Reintroduction project will receive $79,870, with the aim of increasing the flow of freshwater into the marshes south of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway along Grand Bayou Canal,” explained Amanda Voisin, Coastal Zone Management Administrator for Lafourche Parish Government. Congressman Garret Graves made this announcement recently via Facebook and noted that: “These funds are a result of the BP settlement related to the Deepwater Horizon Disaster. Looking forward to more construction on this project,” said Graves.

ney, Lynden Burton, raised the issues of the defendant’s mental health, alleged mistreatment by detectives and pointed out a lack of physical evidence linking him to the crime. Burton did not bring post-trial motions before state District Judge Walter Lanier, who presided over the case, but said there will be an appeal. “We would have wanted it to come out differently,” Burton said. “He always said he was innocent, and we fought it to the end.” An all-white jury decided Blackledge’s fate, with 11 of the 12 members voting guilty. Burton said he can’t say yet whether the jury’s racial makeup will factor into an appeal. “It’s the way it worked out,” he said. “We tried our best to get a jury of his peers, and this is what we ended up with. We have to wait until we go through everything.” — Staff Writer Bridget Mire can be reached at 448-7639 or bridget.mire@dailycomet.com. Follow her on Twitter @bridget_mire.
Gambling From 1-A
The movement coincides with National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. “It is important to remember that our efforts to improve health in Louisiana must include the availability of treatment and prevention for problems such as gambling addiction,” said Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rebekah Gee. “Louisiana offers a wide variety of treatment programs aimed specifically at problem gamblers, and we will use this month to spread awareness of the problem and shine light on the resources available to address it,” said Gee. Signs of a gambling problem include: • Lying to loved ones about gambling activity • Deterioration of work performance • Trouble concentrating • Missing deadlines and important responsibilities • Worrying about mounting debts and inability to pay them “Gambling becomes a serious problem when you can’t manage or control it,” says Department of Health-Office of Behavioral Health Assistant Secretary

Dr. James E. Hussey. “A problem gambler loses control and cannot stick to limits, even when gambling is causing serious financial, family, work or other problems.” Anyone who suspects they might have a gambling problem, or who thinks a loved one has such as problem is encouraged to call or text the Problem Gambler’s Helpline at 1877-770-STOP (7867). Callers can receive information to contact a counselor for a free assessment and free treatment. This toll-free helpline handles on average, 2,400 calls or direct requests for help each month.

According to the report, the town got three written quotes from local vendors for one of the vehicles, which cost $42,195, but did not put the purchase out for bid as required by law. “The public bid law ... is a set of laws that govern contracts for public works and the purchase of materials and supplies by public entities that meet certain threshold requirements called the ‘contract limit,’” the report says. “This limit is $30,000 for materials and supplies and $152,400 for public works. The purpose of the bid law is to ensure that public entities receive the best possible price when using public funds for the procurement of materials and supplies of public works.” Lockport Police Chief Warren Vedros said the violations were honest mistakes and there was no intention of hiding anything or deceiving anyone. His department believed the bid law threshold was for purchases over $50,000, he said, and was unaware of the need for approval for the lease-purchase agreement. According to the report, Lockport agreed to institute written policies to comply with public lease law and public bid law and contact a local auditing agency before advertising or purchasing materials or equipment above the threshold. The town will also see if training is available for employees involved in purchases.

An examination confirmed the presence of the videos and images. Harper was also discovered to be in possession of Hydrocodone pills, Marinol pills, Adderall pills and Xanax. Troopers charged Harper with 12 Counts of Possession of Pornography Involving Juveniles, Possession of Controlled Dangerous Substance II, Possession of CDS III and Possession of CDS V. Harper was booked at the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office. Homeland Security Investigations seized Harper’s computer equipment for further analysis. The arrest remains under investigation. LSP Troopers work in partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to combat child exploitation and investigate child and adult sex trafficking across Louisiana. The public plays an integral role in identifying suspects accused of these crimes, and is strongly urged to report criminal or suspicious activity. The Louisiana State Police online reporting system is available to the public through a convenient and secure reporting form that is submitted to the appropriate investigators. Citizens can access the form by visiting http://lasafe.org/ and clicking on the “Suspicious Activity” link.
New Orleans within 48 hours are bringing renewed attention to the relationship between the city’s LGBT community and the police department. NOLA.com, The TimesPicayune reports that advocates say mistreatment by police has discouraged many transgender people from seeking law enforcement’s help — making them easier targets of violence. Now, as police investigate the February killings of Chyna Gibson and Ciara McElveen, advocates of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are hoping to spark a dialogue with police. Police have said they have not found evidence suggesting the murders of 31-year-old Gibson and 25-year-old McElveen were connected, or that the women were targeted because of their gender identity.

NTSB: Fatal railroad crossing not on tour bus route
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Texas tour bus hit by a freight train in a deadly crash wasn’t supposed to have taken the road where it got stuck at a rail crossing earlier this week, a federal official said Thursday. National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said the driver may have followed a GPS set for commercial vehicle use rather than directions from the tour company, WLOX-TV reported. Speaking at a news conference, Sumwalt also said two other buses apparently followed the route provided by Florida-based Diamond Tours to the casino where they were headed in Biloxi, Mississippi.

In Texas, survivors and family members of the dead began filing lawsuits as more details emerged of Tuesday’s crash, in which the CSX freight train slammed into the bus at a humped rail crossing on Biloxi’s Main Street. A survivor said Thursday that after bus became lodged on the crossing, the bus driver yelled for all the passengers to get off shortly before the train hit. She was sitting behind the driver in the bus. The crossing has a warning sign about low clearance, topped by a graphic of a tractor-trailer stuck on a railroad track. ___
Audubon Aquarium welcomes ‘otterly’ adorable new resident
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans has welcomed its newest resident: a rescued juvenile sea otter from Monterey, Calif. The Audubon Nature Institute says in a statement that the 18-monthold female sea otter arrived at the aquarium Wednesday evening. She joins the Audubon’s current resident, Clara, an 8-year-old sea otter, in the aquarium’s 25,000-gallon sea otter habitat. The otter was found as an abandoned day-old pup in September 2015 by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Research and Conservation program. After several unsuccessful attempts of releasing her back into the ocean, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials determined she wouldn’t survive on her own. The aquarium is conducting an online poll to name the otter, which can be found on its website. The winning name will be announced March 16 on Audubon’s Facebook page and website.

Omri Rabon, 25, of Galliano and Janie Cheramie, 33, of Cut Off on Wednesday, March 8. Rabon was arrested in connection to a vehicle burglary, which occurred in late February, while Cheramie was arrested due to a warrant for probation violation. As previously released, Golden Meadow Police and LPSO detectives were investigating a vehicle burglary reported on Monday, February 27, wherein a woman’s purse was stolen and fraudulent charges were made on her credit card. On March 1, detectives arrested Brent Terrebonne (age 46) of Golden Meadow for Simple Burglary and ten counts of Unauthorized Use of an Access Card. Two days later, on Friday, March 3, detectives arrested Geoffrey Galliano (age 31) of Larose for Simple Burglary of a Motor Vehicle. Detectives later obtained warrants on Omri Rabon as a third suspect in the case. Then, on Tuesday, March 7, deputies of the Problem-Oriented Policing (“POP) Squad and Bicycle Patrol, collectively referred to as “POPcycle,” attempted to locate Rabon with assistance from K-9 deputies. Through the help of an anonymous tip, the deputies proceeded to a residence on West 152nd Street where they found Rabon hiding in a closet, and he was immediately taken into custody without incident. Deputies also discovered Janie Cheramie,
who had an active warrant for a probation violation, to be hiding in the attic of the residence. She was also taken into custody and transported to the Lafourche Parish Detention Center where she is being held without bond. Through investigation and questioning of Rabon, detectives were able to link to him a residential burglary, which was reported Monday evening at a residence on West Main Street in Cut Off. Following questioning, Rabon began shaking and told detectives he swallowed a bag of suspected methamphetamine prior to his arrest. He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance where he remains in stable condition. Upon his release from the hospital, Rabon will be transported to the Detention Center where he will be booked on charges of Simple Burglary of an Immovable Structure, Simple Burglary of a Motor Vehicle, and five counts of Unauthorized Use of an Access Card. Detectives have indicated
that Rabon may face additional charges as the investigations into these incidents continue.

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd
Matthew’s gospel tries to prove that Jesus is the New Moses
Matthew wrote his gospel for the Jewish people. By lining up eight parallel events, he tries to show that Jesus is the New Moses. 1. When both Moses and Jesus were born, a ruler threatened their lives. A Hebrew woman bore a baby boy. She knew that Pharaoh had commanded that every Hebrew boy should be thrown into the Nile. They put the baby in a basket among the reeds on the river bank, and he survived. A Hebrew woman named Mary was found with child by the Holy Spirit. Joseph took her as his wife, and she gave him a son. An angel appeared to Joseph and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt . . . for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him” (Matt. 1:18, 24, 2:13). They escaped to Egypt, and the baby survived. 2. Both had a unique call from God at the beginning of their ministry. God called to Moses out of a burning bush, “Moses, Moses!” He said, “Here I am.” God said, “I am the God of your fathers.” (Ex. 3:4,6). When Jesus was a young man, John baptized him. As he came up from the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove on him. A voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matt 3:1617) 3. Their missions were to set people free. God commanded Moses to say to the Israelites, “I am the Lord, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them.” (Ex 6:6). At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free” (Lk. 4:18,19). 4. Both established a memorial celebration to remember God’s deliverance of his people. Moses said to his people, “Remember this day on which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, because the Lord brought you out from there by strength of hand” (Ex 13:3). Jesus said, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer . . .” Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me” (Lk. 22:15,19). 5. Both leaders led their people through water to freedom. The Israelites went into the Red Sea on dry ground. In the waters of baptism we die to all that is not of the Lord and put on Christ. 6. Both proclaimed the law of God from a mountain. Moses went down the mountain and gave the people the Ten Commandments. In Matthew’s gospel it says, “When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, he sat down, and gave us the new commandments.” 7. Both were instruments of God in delivering people from sin. Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it on a pole. When-
ever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live (Num. 21:9). “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that those who believe in him may have eternal life.” 8. Sign and wonders accompanied both ministries. Moses was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt. Likewise, Jesus was sent to show God’s power in view of the poor and needy, the sick and the lame and to “seek out and to save the lost” (Lk. 19:10).
The V.H. Boudreaux Senior Citizens Center in Lockport held its monthly birthday party on January 24. Those celebrating birthdays in January were Mary Arceneaux, Marlene Turner, Geraldine Chiasson, Penny Gautreaux, Sheila Adams, Winnie Theriot, Nancy Plaisance and Marion Birdsall.
