Another busy Atlantic hurricane season W expected
Last year’s hurricane season was more than twice as active as a typical season, and an onslaught of storms left deep wounds across the Caribbean and southern United States that have not yet healed. But, ready or not, the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1. As it has done every year since 1984, Colorado State University (CSU) hurricane researchers predicted Thursday the Atlantic hurricane season will be slightly above-average this year.

“I just expected that, given more time, you would see events that were bigger,” he said. “Because there’s a longer perspective, there’s more chance for something really big to happen.” The researchers said climate variability, particularly the multi-decade changes in the North Atlantic’s surface temperature, has played a big part in flooding over the centuries. However, they said, changes in such cycles would predict a much smaller increase than has occurred since 1800. “The other likely culprit is something we’ve done to the river or basin,” Munoz said. The Mississippi River Basin drains all or part of 31 states and two Canadian provinces. “Their palaeoflood record is compelling. ... And if the authors are correct, and collective efforts to subdue the Mississippi have inadvertently pushed it to rise higher than ever, then the time might have come to consider loosening its restraints,” Scott St. George of the University of Minnesota wrote in a companion commentary. However, he wrote, he thinks climate change could be the main driver behind the increased flooding. To test that, more work like Munoz’s is needed along the upper Mississippi and its main tributaries, he said. Munoz said he and his colleagues are working on such studies. See Study Page 3-A
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Flood control work in the Mississippi River and its tributaries has likely made floods worse in Mississippi and Louisiana, researchers say. Using 500 years of data from tree rings and from sediment in oxbow lakes — bends that once were part of the Mississippi River but became lakes when the river changed its path slightly — they say the river has flooded more often and poured more water into those states over the past 150 years than any previous period. Climate change may be responsible for about one-quarter of the difference, they estimate. Engineering, such as building levees and creating a straighter, narrow channel for navigation, is likely responsible for the rest, researchers from Massachusetts, Illinois, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas and Liverpool, England, say in Wednesday’s journal Nature. Some outside scientists praised the entire paper. Others praised the “paleoflood” work but had doubts about the conclusion that flood engineering is the main reason floods are worse. Lead researcher Samuel Munoz of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said he had expected to find early floods that were greater than more recent floods — not because the river was unrestrained, but because other research had covered a fairly recent period.

Port Commission and Corps sign agreement over Bayou Lafourche channel
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Wednesday, the Greater Lafourche Port Commission (GLPC) formally entered into an Assumption of Maintenance Agreement with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to extend the reach of the federally-maintained channel in Bayou Lafourche at a signing ceremony at USACE District Headquarters. “This agreement is the culmination of over five years of work to demonstrate to the Corps and the nation the benefits of maintaining this additional stretch of the navigable channel in Bayou Lafourche, which provides access to our Northern Expansion development at Port Fourchon,” said Chett Chiasson, Executive Director of GLPC. Previously, the Corps of Engineers only maintained the section of the channel from the extent of the jetties in Belle Pass to just north of Port Fourchon’s E-Slip, with GLPC being responsible for maintaining the channel north to Flotation Canal.

Study
From 1-A
“We have records we’re working on now from the Missouri River, the Ohio River and the Arkansas River — the big tributaries of the Mississippi. ... We’re also doing this in the Houston area to put Hurricane Harvey into context,” Munoz said. Such work isn’t possible on the upper Mississippi, where locks and dams have permanently submerged oxbow lakes, he said. Upmanu Lall, director of the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University, said the work linking “floodiness” to climate cycles over five centuries is exciting. But the argument about river engineering as the main driver is weak, Lall said. For one thing, he said, recent floods have included some very low as well as very high floods, but small floods probably didn’t leave sediment or tree ring records. The recent flood analysis also doesn’t offer any formal analysis of likely causes and ignores whether increased rainfall or changes in the landscape, such as Midwestern farm drainage, might be among them, he said. Nicholas Pinter of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale said the study confirms and underscores what he described as extensive work he and others have done about flood frequency and magnitude over the last 100 to 150 years, and modeling studies looking forward. It’s particularly notable that the study found large increases “along a stretch of the Mississippi that previous research has among the LEAST impacts of river engineering on flood levels,” he wrote in an email. “If the same research had been completed on the Middle Mississippi, the Lower Missouri, or parts of the Upper Mississippi, the increases in flood magnitudes and frequencies would have been MUCH greater.” Munoz studied three oxbow lakes: Lake Mary, west of Woodville, Mississippi; False River Lake, northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Lake St. John, in Louisiana about north-
northwest of Natchez, Mississippi. The scientists also used tree-ring data from a 2015 study by University of Alabama scientist Matthew Therrell, including three floods not described in that report.
Port
From 1-A
Wednesday’s action adds 1.1 miles of additional channel in Bayou Lafourche to the Corps’ regular program of maintenance dredging. “Historically, the Corps maintained what they did because the port first developed along old Pass Fourchon, and then into the early stretch of Bayou Lafourche with our ESlip development in the 1990s,” said Port Commission Board President Perry Gisclair. “But with the bulk of our growth since 2000 in the Northern Expansion developing from Bayou Lafourche into Flotation Canal, it made sense for the Corps to assume the maintenance of this additional section of waterway to protect these vital navigation interests for the nation,” Gisclair added. Under the agreement, GLPC will perform one final maintenance dredge cycle of this section of the channel before handing off responsibility for future maintenance to the Corps. Separate to this agreement, the Greater Lafourche Port Commission is nearing completion of its Section 203 Feasibility Study on deepening Belle Pass from its entrance at the Gulf of Mexico to the port’s Pass Fourchon waterway. The study delineates the potential for deepening draft in the channel up to fifty feet, with an eye toward developing the Gulf’s first purpose-built deepwater rig repair and refurbishment facility. “This is just the beginning of our work,” Chiasson said, “to continue to evolve and develop America’s energy services port and adapt to the changing needs of both our industry and our environment. We are so grateful for the cooperation and collaborative relationship we enjoy with the New Orleans District and the Corps in
general.” According to Chiasson, not only will this purpose-built facility add much-needed capacity to capture and retain nearly $100 million worth of repair work currently leaving the US in favor of foreign facilities, but the sediments generated by the channel deepening project will yield millions of cubic yards of material that can also be used to rebuild coastal wetlands. The Port Commission’s plans are to build in a manner designed to provide strategic, longterm asset protection to Port Fourchon and the industrial asset base in the region as well as make the community more resilient to future storms. GLPC intends to have the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) completed and out for public and agency comment this spring, with a goal of federal authorization for a deeper channel into Port Fourchon by early 2019.
Judge
From 1-A
during the penalty phase of the trial when he waived his right to counsel. He was not informed how the penalty phase of the trial functioned or that he could have re-invoked his right to counsel at any time, the defense argued. Defense attorneys also argued that Brown’s mother, Judy Courteaux, was not allowed to be present in the courtroom during the trial to offer emotional support because she was under sequestration as a witness. Due to the stressful nature of the trial, including a six-week jury selection process, Brown was not in a lucid state of mind to represent himself during such a crucial phase, Boyle said. “I don’t believe today anyone could say he was competent or not, but there were red flags that were ignored,” Boyle said. Brown’s attorneys contended mental illness and competency is fluid especially under stressful conditions. “It was a stressful trial, and David Brown

did not get a fair shake,” Kappel said. “His life is on the line. It was his intent to get a life sentence, not the death penalty.” Although Brown’s decision to waive his right to counsel wasn’t prudent, it wasn’t illegal, Assistant District Attorney Joe Soignet said. “It’s probably a bad decision for a defendant to represent himself, but it’s his constitutional right,” Soignet said. “He was unequivocal in his desire to represent himself. We don’t have any red flags to call for a sanity hearing.” After hearing arguments from both sides and testimony from mental health experts, District Court Judge John LeBlanc ruled in favor of the state. At no point during the trial did Brown’s competency come into question, LeBlanc said. Brown was seen interacting with his attorneys during the trial and the weeks beyond and seemed to have an understanding of the proceedings, the judge said. Although his mother was barred from the courtroom, she was a witness in the case and by law had to be sequestered during the trial, LeBlanc said. She still had opportunities to meet with her son during breaks and recesses. “I find his waiver of counsel to be competent, voluntary and intelligent,” LeBlanc said. “I do not believe Mr. Brown was treated unfairly or his rights were violated.” Following his ruling, LeBlanc scheduled Brown’s sentencing for 1:30 p.m. June 1. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Dan Copp can be reached at 857-2202 or at dan.copp@houmatoday.co m.

Hurricane From 1-A
The researchers cited a “relatively low likelihood of significant El Niño” conditions as a main factor. In total, the team believes there will be 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes (with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour or greater), which is slightly above the long-term average of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. Last year saw 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes. They explained why El Niño patterns are likely to make a difference. “El Niño tends to increase upper-level westerly winds across the Caribbean into the tropical Atlantic, tearing apart hurricanes as they try to form,” the researchers said. The team forms their forecasts by using 60 years of data, referencing sea surface temperatures, vertical wind shear levels, sea level pressures, El Niño conditions and other factors. They plan to provide updates on May 31, July 2 and Aug. 2. The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. While the CSU team said their predictions provide “a best estimate” of what to expect, they’re not foolproof, and coastal residents should be sure and take precautions to protect themselves. “It takes only one storm near you to make this an active season,” said Michael Bell, an associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science, who worked on the report. A couple of classic examples of why you need to be prepared

each year occurred in 1992 and 1983. The 1992 season produced only six named storms and one subtropical storm. However, one of those named storms was Hurricane Andrew, which devastated South Florida as a Category 5 hurricane. In 1983 there were only four named storms, but one of them was Alicia. The Category 3 hurricane hit the Houston- Galveston area and caused almost as many direct fatalities there as Andrew did in South Florida. In contrast, the 2010 season was active. There were 19 named storms and 12 hurricanes that formed in the Atlantic Basin. But despite the large number of storms that year, not a single hurricane and only one tropical storm made landfall in the United States. In other words, a season can deliver many storms, but have little impact, or deliver few storms and have one or more hitting the U.S. coast with major impact. In 2017, seven named storms impacted the U.S. coast, including Puerto Rico, most notably hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, which battered Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, respectively. It’s impossible to know for certain if a U.S. hurricane strike, or multiple strikes, will occur this season. Keep in mind, however, that even a weak tropical storm hitting the U.S. can cause major impacts, particularly if it moves slowly, resulting in flooding rainfall. The names of all the Atlantic tropical storms for 2018 are Alberto, Beryl, Chris, Debby, Ernesto, Florence, Gordon, Helene, Isaac, Joyce, Kirk, Leslie, Michael, Nadine, Oscar, Patty, Rafael, Sara, Tony, Valerie, and William.

MEMORIALS
In Memory Of
KORTE CHERAMIE
Sunrise: 4/8/88 Sunset: 2/25/17 HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY! When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. If I could relive yesterday, I thought just for a while, I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But when I walked through heavens gates, I felt so much at home, when God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne. So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart. Love, Mom, Darla, Maw and Paw, Family and Friends. ______________________

SLIDELL, La. (AP) — A 4year-old New Orleansarea boy drowned in a filthy backyard swimming pool, and his father has been arrested on charges of cruelty and negligent homicide, police said Wednesday. Police in the suburb of Slidell said in a statement that Zachary Brooks, 24, was using illegal drugs indoors and left the child, Timothy Brooks, unattended in the back yard of his home when the child drowned March 5. Brooks was arrested Saturday and held in lieu of $200,000 bond. The pool’s water was black, covered with green pond scum, and full of “all kinds of trash,” said a police spokesman, Detective Daniel Seuzeneau, in a phone interview. He said the yard was fenced, but there was no safety fence around the pool itself. Investigators said large they found amounts of drug paraphernalia and suspected drugs throughout the house, which had no running water and was littered with piles of trash and decaying food, according to the police news release. Seuzeneau said Brooks was the primary caregiver, adding the child’s mother is being held on drug-related charges. ___
New Louisiana WIC website celebrates food, family and fun
BATON ROUGE, La. – The Louisiana Department of Health has announced a new, interactive and user-friendly website for the Louisiana Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC), louisianawic.org.

Senate votes to require unanimous jury verdicts for felonies
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana would shed its status as one of two states that don’t require unanimous juries in felony cases, under a proposal that won Senate support. Lawmakers approved Sen. J.P. Morrell’s constitutional amendment by a 27-10 vote Wednesday, sending it to the House. It cleared the Senate with one vote more than the two-thirds needed to pass. Currently, felony trials in Louisiana can be decided when 10 of 12 jurors agree on a person’s guilt. Only Louisiana and Oregon allow felony cases to be settled by a split verdict. Morrell, a New Orleans Democrat, says the non-unanimous jury policy began to minimize power of African-American jurors and maintain white supremacy in Louisiana. If successful in the House, the change would go before voters in the fall. Senate Bill 243: www.legis.la.gov ___
Marine killed in California crash was ‘the gold standard’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Family and friends say one of four Marines killed when their helicopter crashed on a training mission in Southern California was a standout in the corps and in life, just as caring as he was tough. Although the Marines haven’t released the names of those killed in Tuesday’s crash, family and friends have identified Lance Cpl. Taylor Conrad as among the dead. Tributes to Conrad, who just became a father, are pouring in on social media, including from the mayor in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and his high school football team. Cpl. Brock Portier, a good friend and fellow Marine, says his “brother” was “the gold standard” in the corps. Conrad’s great aunt, Pam Scoggin of Texas City, Texas, says he loved serving his country. ___

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd
What do it really mean to be a true member of Christ’s Church?
Sometimes we have to reexamine some of our basic notions about our spiritual life so we can be sure we are “on the right page.” In today’s column, I want to explore the role of the Church. Author and pastor, Dr. Paul David Tripp says, “The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.” I like his definition because he brings out the important elements of our Christian life. He emphasizes “conversion,” the willingness to change our lives and become our best selves. Our “confession” is the ability to admit we have made mistakes and are willing to learn from them. “Reconciliation” is our willingness to put our differences aside and strive to live as members of God’s family with Jesus as our brother. “Forgiveness” is our willingness to let go of our past hurts as we pray constantly in the Lord’s Prayer. We are members of Christ’s Church because we admit we are “flawed people” who need the power of God in our lives. We gather on the Lord’s Day to “know and love Jesus better.” We listen to God’s words and strive to make them part of our lives. Lastly, the church should be the place where we learn to love as Jesus loved. His love was
unconditional. It is based on the way God loves. It’s a difficult love but it’s a liberating love. We are to love everyone, even our enemies. If we can do this, there will be no hate in us. This love is not based on emotions … it’s wanting what is best for the other. The late Anglican priest, Rev. John R. Stott reminded us, “It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.” Archbishop Oscar Romero said, “The church must suffer for speaking the truth, for pointing out sin, for uprooting sin. No one wants to have a sore spot touched, and therefore a society with so many sores twitches when someone has the courage to touch it and say, ‘You have to treat that. You have to get rid of that. Believe in Christ. Be converted.’” One role of the church is to point out the abuses that exist in society. Many evils exist: racism, sexism, materialism, consumerism, child abuse, human trafficking, avarice and greed, growing affluence of the rich and decline of the middle class, alienation, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, hate crimes, gun violence, the cult of celebrity, and malnutrition of the spirit. Our market economy has held up the view that some human beings are of less value than others. We need to learn to live together and share the benefits of our affluence, creating a society in which all are valued and none are expendable. We need to address all these evils. Billy Graham once said, “True conversion will involve the mind, the affection, and the will. There have been thousands of people who have been intellectually converted to Christ, but they have never been really converted to him. Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous
conversion. It’s a daily process by which you grow to be ever more like Christ.” Everyone needs to be converted. No one is perfect; no one is totally

stantly and meditate on the gospels and make them part of our lives. Being true to the gospel is the heart of conversion. Conversion for some
might be a Damascus Road experience. For most of us, it’s a gradual realization of what it means to be a member of God’s family, the Church.
