How big is Louisiana’s deficit? Figure expected next month MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A dollar figure for W Louisiana’s budget deficit will be released next month, after the state’s financial analysts finish reconciling the accounting books. Louisiana leaders expect the state spent more than it brought into the treasury in the budget year that ended June 30. Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration says the gap could range from $200 million up to $300 million. But the closing of the books on a state government budget year, with billions in income and spending, is complex.

Port signs agreements with Wisner Trust and Corps of Engineers

Plans next generation of Port facilities

(PORT FOURCHON, LA) – The Greater Lafourche Port Commission (GLPC) is moving forward with its plans to develop the next generation of deepwater port facilities at Port Fourchon, thanks to a newly signed agreement with the Edward Wisner Donation granting GLPC a Right of First Refusal on over 900 acres of property immediately south of the port. A separate Memorandum of Understanding between GLPC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New Orleans District was signed last month after nearly two years of discussion and negotiation, allowing GLPC to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of a deeper draft channel into Port Fourchon. Coupled with the Corps study, this new property agreement will usher in a new era of growth for the port.

With the “creepy clown” sightings now being reported in Louisiana, local law enforcement officials are reminding citizens of a state law prohibiting such activity. Per Louisiana law, the wearing of a hood, mask, or facial disguise of any kind is prohibited in public places with obvious exceptions for certain holidays. While there have been no confirmed reports of “creepy clown” sightings in Lafourche Parish, Sheriff Craig Webre, Thibodaux Chief of Police Bryan Zeringue, Lockport Chief of Police Warren Vedros, and Golden Meadow Chief of Police Reggie Pitre are issuing a stern warning against such behavior.

“Dressing up as a creepy or evillooking clown and lurking around residential neighborhoods for the purpose of terrorizing others is not a prank,” said Sheriff Webre. “It’s not funny, and in fact, it’s against the law. Anyone caught exhibiting such behavior will be criminally charged.” The warning comes as creepy or evil-looking clowns have been spotted lurking in neighborhoods in some areas of the country. While many of the initial reports have been discredited, police believe people are copying the behavior from the initial viral news stories reporting such behavior. See Clowns Page 5-A

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A country music festival bumped from LSU’s Tiger Stadium for two years by offseason renovations will be held next Memorial Day weekend in New Orleans, and the Superdome could become its permanent home, an official said earlier this week. Next year’s Country Music Superfest will have a new feature: a free outdoor concert Friday night, May 26, said Quint Davis, CEO of Festival Productions Inc. If the two-day indoor festival that follows May 27-28 is a success, he said, it might not return to Baton Rouge in 2019. But, he said, it’s too early to say where the 2018 festival will be, let alone the one in 2019. LSU said in August that it will renovate bathrooms and concession stands and make other stadium improvements after the 2016 and 2017 football seasons, making it impossible for the music festival to use Tiger Stadium. The Superfest has been held at the 102,000seat stadium in Baton Rouge since it started in 2010. It expanded from two nights to three in 2014. ___

turn in its recommendations and report, rather than Friday. It’s the second extension the group has received. Task force members have been working since March, spending long hours delving into complex discussions of tax policy that affects individuals, businesses and government. Revenue Secretary Kimberly Robinson, one of the group’s co-chairs, says task force members wanted a bit more time to gather data and negotiate recommendations. The report is expected to form the basis for negotiations on a revamp of Louisiana’s tax structure planned for debate in the 2017 legislative session. ___

October oil spill milestone: $520 million in seafood claims

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The administrator of economic loss claims resulting from the 2010 BP oil spill says he expects about $520 million in seafood industry claims to be paid in the Gulf of Mexico states as early as next month. Patrick Juneau says the disbursements will essentially close out the $2.3 billion seafood compensation program arising from the spill. Juneau administers payments from a 2012 settlement BP reached with people and businesses that claimed economic harm after the Deepwater Hori-

3 cops among 6 indicted in contraband cigarette case

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Six people, including three New Orleans law enforcement officers, have been indicted in what authorities say was a contraband cigarette trafficking scheme. The indictments were announced Thursday afternoon by the U.S. attorney’s office in New Orleans. Two New Orleans police officers and an Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy were among those charged. New Orleans police Chief Michael Harrison said in a news release that his department’s Public In-

tegrity Bureau took part in the investigation. He said the two city police officers were suspended without pay. The sheriff’s office said the deputy resigned Wednesday. The two officers and the deputy are accused of protecting and transporting contraband cigarettes and cigars in a scheme to evade tobacco taxes. Court records show the six suspects were indicted Sept. 22. The indictment was unsealed Thursday. The men were identified as New Orleans police Officers Justin Brown, 29, and Joshua Carthon, 32; Orleans Deputy Garrett Partman, 31; Jadallah Saed, 30, and Anwar Abdelmajid-Ahmad, 29, both of Gretna; and a North Carolina man, Atalla Atalla, 38, of Wilmington. Online records did not contain information on the suspects’ attorneys as of Thursday afternoon and no hearings had been set. Each faced charges of conspiracy to traffic contraband cigarettes and related charges.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, certain feelings may not be easy to convey, but try to find the words this week. It’s important to let your feelings be known, and others are waiting on you to speak up. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, coworkers respond favorably to a proposal you worked hard on. Allow this professional momentum to pay dividends outside of the office as well. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Mixed signals lead to a bit of confusion. It’s nothing you can’t handle if you backtrack and remedy the original situation, just provide yourself ample time to set things right. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Be extra sensitive to the plights or concerns of others this week, Cancer. Some around you could benefit from some empathy and understanding. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Now might be a great time to take a step back and enjoy a little breathing room. Look at things from a different perspective, and you might be amazed at your new outlook.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Many things in your life are vying for your attention. It’s difficult to choose just one, but you will have to do so this week. If necessary, reach out to a friend for assistance. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your values and those of a loved one may clash from time to time. Some polite and intelligent discourse might be just what the doctor ordered this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Reactions come swiftly and strongly this week, Scorpio. You either love or hate something, and things may be very black and white in your world in the days ahead. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Try to separate your personal life from your professional activities this week. This may require being a little more quiet and introspective than usual, but do your best. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Let your feelings be heard if you feel underappreciated by someone close to you this week. Your loved one will appreciate your honesty and welcome your insight.

Council From 1-A

“If you recall, last year’s budget did not come before the Council,” said Lorraine. The night it was presented, there was no quorum, and therefore the budget went into effect as it was presented. Charlotte Randolph did not set aside any money in the budget for the Courts, he said. Councilman Jerry Jones also blamed the present administration. “It’s been nine months since this administration took over. This administration had time to put something in there (budget),” he said. “If we don’t approve, where does that leave us?” asked Lafont. “We really don’t have a choice. If anyone wants to go and tell the judge what to do, then God bless you!” said Lasseigne. Several councilmen asked for more information to be put in the ordinance. “Why can’t we, in the ‘whereas’ section, say exactly what it is for? It’s ridiculous. I’m thinking $150,000 to clean the damned courthouse. I’m gonna vote for it but ya’ll need to give us more information to make decisions,” said Gros. In the end the Council voted 9-0 in favor of the ordinance. “For a man that murdered a woman and two kids, I would vote for more money to make sure it moves forward so people of Lockport get justice in this case,” stated Cory Perrillioux. “We spent over $400,000 on the last murder case. This is a piece of cake,” said Lorraine.

Deficit From 1-A

The Revenue Estimating Conference — the state’s income forecasting panel — was told Tuesday the accounting work is still underway. A price tag for the deficit is expected to come at the Oct. 28 meeting of the joint House and Senate budget committee. WHY THE DEFICIT? Business tax collections are driving the deficit prediction, bringing in less than expected in the state’s official forecast. Louisiana has struggled through repeated budget shortfalls in the last nine years amid the national recession, the oil price slump and the continued use by former Gov. Bobby Jindal and lawmakers of short-term fixes to close holes. Lawmakers, at Edwards’ urging, recently raised an estimated $1.5 billion in taxes to shrink cuts in this year’s spending plan. LSU economist Jim Richardson, who sits on the four-member Revenue Estimating Conference, warned of the expected deficit when lawmakers were meeting in a legislative session on taxes. But the House balked at further tax hikes to fill a gap that wasn’t yet certain. HOW CAN THE DEFICIT BE CLOSED? Whatever gap exists has to be closed in the current 2016-17 budget year. Deficits can be closed with either new money or cuts. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A meaningful conversation with the right person may occur this week, Aquarius. It could mean a step in the right direction for you and help to further your career. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions are so strong this week that you may feel alienated from those closest to you. If so, make an effort to stay connected.

Republican leaders in the House are hoping the tax hikes they recently passed will bring in more money than expected and could help offset last year’s deficit. But Louisiana’s share of response and recovery costs to the catastrophic mid-August flooding could heap new shortfalls on the state and erase gains that might show up in tax collections. The Edwards administration asked agencies at the start of the current budget year on July 1 to lessen spending as a safeguard against likely cuts. It also has renegotiated Jindal-era deals that privatized the services provided by the LSU charity hospitals and has identified a way to draw down more federal financing for the deals, which could help cut the state’s costs and shrink the budget gap. CAN THE RAINY DAY FUND BE USED? Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego, said he’s looking at whether Louisiana can tap into its “rainy day” fund, which contains $359 million. But he’s not certain that the state will meet the constitutional triggers needed to be able to use up to $120 million of the fund. “We’re looking at everything, if it’s constitutionally available to us,” Alario said Tuesday. But he added: “I’m not anticipating that we will be able to get to it.” ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Clowns From 1-A

On Friday, a 20-yearold Kentucky man was arrested for stalking around a Kentucky town. Also, two schools in Alabama were put on lockdown last week after online threats involving clowns. Online rumors began circulating about a possible sighting in Lafourche Parish this week, but no sightings have been reported to law enforcement. Citizens are cautioned not to spread rumors on social media causing unnecessary fear for other residents. “If you encounter one of these clowns, report it immediately to law enforcement, and do not take matters into your own hands,” said Sheriff Webre. “We have seen several people commenting on social media that they would use deadly force against these individuals if found on their property, but you cannot legally shoot someone merely for trespassing in your yard, whether they are in costume or not. Again, we ask that you contact law enforcement, and let us handle the situation.” Golden Meadow Chief of Police Reggie Pitre said, “Spooking your friends is one thing, but terrorizing a community is an act that will not be tolerated. I would like to encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable Halloween Season, but creeping around as an evil clown is not recommended unless you feel the need to be charged and/or arrested.” The law does contain exceptions for the prohibition on masks and facial disguises, such as on Halloween. Even then, citizens should always report suspicious behavior to law enforcement. A conviction of this crime carries a sentence of no less than six months and up to three years in prison.

be the Gulf’s first purposebuilt, deepwater rig repair and refurbishment facility to service the major maintenance needs of the deepwater oil and gas rigs Port Fourchon services. “What’s so exciting to us about this deeper water development is that it will allow us to truly service the entire industrial life cycle of the assets for our tenants and their customers in the Gulf of Mexico,” said Chett Chiasson, Executive Director of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission. “Today’s Right of First Refusal document gives us first call on the property and allows us to truly engage the marketplace in discussions on their needs for this facility and what features are most important to our customers.” The USACE study is set to consider deepening the main channel of Bayou Lafourche through Belle Pass, from its intersection with Pass Fourchon out into the Gulf of Mexico, to a depth of between 35 and 50 feet and to a distance of approximately six miles. The study will also look at the economics of developing the Fourchon Island area as a rig repair and refurbishment facility, which will presumably enable Port Fourchon’s tenants to bring in deepwater rigs and assets for significant maintenance and repair work which can only be accommodated currently in other states or overseas. This next-generation project will add up to about 900 acres of slips and industrial land

The Edward Wisner Donation Advisory Committee, the entity which manages the Wisner Trust land, voted to approve a Right of First Refusal agreement granting GLPC the ability to begin promoting its nextgeneration development, Fourchon Island, and working toward framing up a full lease document for the 900+ acre property. The Fourchon Island development is planned to

when fully developed. Perry Gisclair, GLPC Board President, added, “Currently, we service over 90% of all of the deepwater activity in the Gulf, and we know that many of these rigs that we service were built right here in this region. They are serviced by companies based in Port Fourchon, and now we hope to add a cutting-edge deepwater rig repair and refurbishment facility at the most central and accessible location in the entire Gulf of Mexico. This will help our community to pick up work that currently has to go as far away as South Korea to get done, which in turn, will help the energy industry reduce their costs and downtime when refurbishing their deepwater assets in the coming years.” Added benefits of the project include the ability to utilize dredged materials as a vital borrow source for coastal restoration works in sediment-starved locations along the Louisiana coast as well as the likely result of hundreds of acres of wetlands being created in the Port Fourchon area as part of the project’s mitigation requirements. It is anticipated that the USACE deeper draft feasibility study will be complete by early 2019, allowing Fourchon Island development to commence in earnest around 2020. Preliminary infrastructure necessary to access the property will likely be underway well before that.

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Quotations on the spiritual life by some of the great minds of the past

Many of my readers share my enthusiasm for profound quotations from the great minds of the past. Occasionally, I would like to share some of their wisdom. They often say deep things so well. The great theologian Thomas Aquinas (12251274) once said, “Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you.” St. Anthony Mary Claret (1807-1870), founder of the religious order known as the Claretians, said that we can achieve holiness wherever we find ourselves. “Our Lord has created persons for all states in life, and in all of them we see people who achieved sanctity by fulfilling their obligations well.” St. Basil the Great (330-379) speaks about sharing our goods with those less fortunate. “The bread you store up belongs to the hungry; the cloak that lies in your chest belongs to the naked; the gold you have hidden in the ground belongs to the poor.” Henri Nouwen (19321996) talks about our need to be well grounded in the spiritual life. “Trees that grow tall have deep roots. Great height without great depth is dangerous. The great leaders of this world — like St. Francis, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr., — were all people who could live with public notoriety, influence, and power in a humble way because of their deep spiritual rootedness. Without deep roots we easily let others determine who we are. But as we cling to our popularity, we may lose our true sense of self. Our clinging to the opinion of others reveals how superficial we are. We

have little to stand on. We have to be kept alive by adulation and praise. Those who are deeply rooted in the love of God can enjoy human praise without being attached to it.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997) says, “We must cultivate that sacred silence that makes people remember the words of Jesus: See how they love one another. How often we find ourselves speaking of the faults of another. How often our conversation is about someone who is not present. Yet see the compassion of Christ toward Judas, the man who received so much love yet betrayed his own master. Yet the master kept the sacred silence and did not betray Judas. Jesus could have easily spoken in public, as we often do, telling the hidden intentions and deeds of Judas to others. But he didn’t. Instead, he showed mercy and charity. Rather than condemning Judas, he called him his friend.” St. Francis of Assisi reminds us of our duties as Christians. “We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.” The French priest, St. John Vianney (1786-1869) talks about our hunger for God. “The soul hungers for God and nothing but God can satisfy it. Therefore Jesus came to dwell on earth and assumed a body so that this body might become the Food of our souls.” Italian educator and writer, John Bosco (18151888) gives us practical advice: “Put up willingly with the faults of others if you wish others to put up with yours.” St. Ambrose (340-397), bishop of Milan, said, “Christ himself is our mouth through which we speak to the Father, our eye through which we see the Father, our right hand through which we offer to the Father. Without His intercession neither we nor all the saints have anything with God.” Peru’s Martin de Porres (1579-1639) tells us, “Everything, even sweeping, scraping vegetables, weeding a garden and waiting on the sick could be a prayer, if we offered it to God.”

Preparing to Become a Caregiver Becoming a caregiver for an aging relative is a profound expression of love. You may find that you will begin to take on many of the responsibilities they might have had while raising you. Like raising a family, being a caretaker can be physically, emotionally and financially challenging but it is also extremely rewarding. It’s a responsibility that millions of people take on each year out of love for their families. Whether you are preparing to care for a parent or another relative, understanding and preparing for the financial implications can help you provide the best care possible. Start the discussion with your family Whether you think you’ll provide direct care, decide to hire a caregiver, or both, you can work with your family members, including the relative in question, to create a plan. Starting the conversation early can help you all reach conclusions without pressure to make a quick

caid, a joint federal and state program, often provides benefits to those with limited income, although the qualifications and benefits can vary by state. There are also non-profit organizations that provide helpful services to the elderly. Family assistance. Whether it’s unpaid care or financial assistance, also take into account the family’s contribution to your parent’s care. Call a family meeting with your parent, siblings and extended family to discuss how you’ll take care of each other. Professional support. You could hire an outside expert as well. A quick internet search may turn up organizations that specialize in working with families and elderly family members. After gathering this information, you’ll have a better understanding of where the caregiving funds will come from and how they can be used. You may also discover gaps in coverage that you may want to fill in on your own. Look for tax savings while paying for care. As an adult child and caregiver, there may be ways to structure an arrangement to improve your parent’s, and your own, financial situation. Working with a tax professional, you may find there are ways to use the tax laws to maximize your parent’s money. For exam-

decision. You may want to cover the types of care that are available and learn which your parent prefers. You should discuss who’ll be responsible for managing personal, financial and medical affairs if your parent can’t handle those anymore. Beyond making a verbal agreement, a parent can give someone legal authority by signing durable power of attorney agreements, which keep the delegation of decision-making authority intact even if your parent becomes incapacitated. There are two durable powers of attorneys, one for medical-related decisions, and a second for legal, personal and financial decisions. Your parents might also want to execute a living will. It has instructions for the medical treatments they want, or don’t want, if they are unable to communicate. Your financial situation may depend in part on your parent’s finances and the assistance that’s available to him or her from outside sources. Your parent’s finances. Together with your parent, and possibly with the assistance of a financial planner, you can create a list of your parent’s current financial assets and future income. Government and nonprofit programs. Medicare and Veteran Affairs benefits may be available for those that are 65 or older. Medi-

ple, if your mother has gifted you money, you could then use it to pay for her medical expenses. Find the best services you can afford. There are many different types of programs available. Home health care. Athome health-related support, including services from a physical therapist, nurse or doctor. Assisted living. Assisted living homes are non-healthcare providing facilities that may provide supervision, a social environment and personal care services. Skilled nursing home. A care facility designed to deliver nursing or rehabilitation services. Your parent’s location can impact which option makes the most sense, and you can research and discuss the pros and cons of your parent moving. Also, a parent that lives near or with a relative might only require part-time outside care. Bottom line: As you prepare to take care of aging parents, work with them to understand their wishes, needs and financial situation. Together you can explore the family’s ability to provide physical and financial support and learn about the help available from government, nonprofit or other programs.
