LSP offers guidance on reporting suspicious activity

BATON ROUGE - Following the recent tragic high school shooting in Parkland, FL, law enforcement throughout W Louisiana and nationally have received numerous copycat type threats. In one instance in Tangipahoa Parish, the threat contained actual credible information which was quickly addressed by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office.

In another situation, a student in Evangeline Parish was arrested for posting online threats.

However, the majority of threats received were found to have no credible danger to public safety.

Although LSP highly encourages citizens to report suspicious activity, they want to remind them that the increased sharing of unsubstantiated threats through social media stresses the resources available to respond to and investigate these claims. In the event you or a family member receive information pertaining to a See LSP Page 5-A

School student has been charged with Terrorizing after an investigation revealed the student allegedly planned to bring a gun to school to kill a teacher.

He and two students at other schools have also been suspended pending expulsion hearings following investigations. These were results of some of the investigations conducted at Lafourche Parish schools after multiple allegations and rumors surfaced on Wednesday, February 21.

Based on these investigations, detectives have found there to be no active credible threat at any school at this time. Additionally, no firearms have been found on any school campus since the onset of these recent investigations.

The 15-year-old male student at South Lafourche High School was questioned by detectives Wednesday after other students came forward about his alleged plan to kill a teacher.

Through investigation, detectives found probable cause to charge the juvenile with Terrorizing. He was initially sent to a hospital for a mental evaluation and was subsequently released back into detectives’ custody and was placed at the Lafourche Parish Juvenile Justice Facility in Thibodaux.

Another day, more stalled bills in Louisiana special session

By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press

Editor’s note: Legislative updates are as of press time Friday morning.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s special session careened further off course Thursday, with nearly every major bill stalled, including tax proposals to close the state’s budget gap and legislation House Republican leaders want in exchange for tax votes.

The inaction raised questions about whether the budget-balancing session will produce anything to address a nearly $1 billion budget gap or if the fractious House is so divided that gridlock is all it can achieve.

Rep. Jack McFarland, a Winnfield Republican, said of the session: “It’s in jeopardy. Everything we’ve been discussing about reform and revenue, and all of a sudden nobody’s willing to pass it on ei-

ther side.”

Republican House Speaker Taylor Barras seems unable to corral enough GOP support to move proposals he backs.

Among House Republicans who will vote for taxes, they disagree with Democrats on which tax types should be used to draw new revenue for state coffers. And efforts

by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards to broker a deal have been fruitless so far.

For two days, lawmakers have pulled bills from consideration without votes amid concerns they can’t pass.

“I’d like to vote for something. I’m tired of this,” a frustrated Rep. Larry Bagley, a Republican from Stonewall, said during a House Health and Welfare Committee hearing.

Bills shelved without votes Thursday would enact work and cost-share requirements on some Medicaid recipients.

Trump endorses raising minimum age to 21 for more weapons

6542 W. Main - Cut Off

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump endorsed stricter gun-control measures Thursday, including raising the minimum age to 21 for possessing a broader range of weapons than at present. He tweeted his strongest stance as president one day after an emotional White House session where students and parents poured out wrenching tales of lost lives and pleaded for action.

Trump said on Twitter, “I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks!” The president did not immediately offer more details.

Trump’s focus on gun violence came as leaders of the National Rifle Association offered a vigorous defense of gun rights during the Conservative Political Action Conference, urging enhanced — and armed — security at schools.

outlets report that the verdict came Tuesday in the case of 29-year-old Cameron Westbrook.

Westbrook is a former police officer for the barrier island community of Grand Isle. He and four other people were arrested in 2016 in connection with the detention of an 18-year-old man following a bar fight. But only Westbrook and ex-officer Tyson Gravette were prosecuted. The 34year-old Gravette pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment last year and was sentenced to probation.

OBITUARIES

ALFRED DELAUNE

Alfred C. Delaune, known to friends as “Freddie,” passed away suddenly at his home Sunday, February 18, 2018. He was a resident of Lockport for all of his 87 years. Visitation was from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday at Falgout Funeral Home in Lockport and from 9 a.m. to funeral time Friday at Holy Savior Catholic Church in Lockport.

Mass was at 11 a.m. Friday at the church, with interment in the church cemetery following.

A 1951 graduate of LSU, he served his country as a commissioned officer in the US Air Force. His civilian career began in the sugarcane industry and evolved to the oilfield supply boat business. He was a lifelong cattleman and in retirement produced some of the sweetest satsumas on Bayou Lafourche.

He served his community through membership and leadership roles in the Knights of Columbus, Lions Club, and the American Legion. Known as a witty conversationalist, he was a devoted father and loved to cook for family and friends.

Mr. Delaune is survived by his longtime companion, Iona P. Adams; his children, Marie E. Delaune Michel of Lockport, Catherine L. Delaune and partner Ardyn Smith of New Orleans, Alfred C. “Freddie” Delaune, Jr. of New Orleans, Michelle P. Delaune of Dallas, and Michael J. Delaune and his wife Stephanie of Thibodaux; and his grandchildren, Melissa McGuire and husband David, Patrick Gomez, Josie Delaune, Celeste Delaune, Marcel Delaune and wife Lesli, Adeline Delaune, Mary Claire Delaune; and three great-grandchildren.

He will also be forever remembered by his numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends.

Freddie was preceded in death by his parents, Josephine Claudet Delaune and Sidney Delaune Sr.; daughters, Joanne Delaune and Elizabeth Delaune; sisters, Bernice D. Coates, Josae “Dee” D. Chetta Nunez, Myrtle “Nanie” Delaune, Miriam D. Clement, Madeleine D. Landry; and brothers, Alvin Delaune, Sidney Delaune Jr., Jules Delaune, Ferdinand Delaune, and Henry Delaune.

Thanks to his caregivers Carole Thibodeaux and Peggy McClain. Falgout Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. ________________________

Put your nose to the grindstone and work your way through things.

Charges From 1-A

Additionally, detectives investigated reports that an eight-year-old male student at Lockport Lower Elementary School told other students about plans to bring a gun to school.

Investigators found the student did not have access to any firearms.

Due to the student’s age, the child was referred to the Louisiana Supreme Court’s Families in Need of Services Assistance Program and released to the custody of his parents.

Parents of LaroseCut Off Middle School students were informed via a letter that a student made a statement about bringing a weapon to school. Detectives conducted an investigation and found the 12year-old male student was not in possession of any weapons nor did he have access to any weapons.

Due to his statement and additional evidence, he is currently undergoing a mental health evaluation at a hospital. No charges have been filed at this time, but the investigation is continuing.

All three aforementioned juveniles have been suspended from their respective schools pending expulsion hearings. Due to their ages, none of their identities can be released.

Detectives investigated several other allegations and threats at various Lafourche Parish schools throughout the day and night on Wednesday. Each was investigated and determined to be untrue or that there was no active credible threat involved.

Sheriff Webre strongly urges the public to never spread rumors, especially rumors of this nature.

“People believe they are helping by telling others what they have heard,” said Sheriff Webre.

“In reality, spreading unverified information from unofficial sources does not help anyone and can easily create unnecessary panic. If you hear any rumor about a threat, contact the school or our office. We will properly investigate and, if necessary, pass on any credible threats or information to the public.”

Sheriff Webre also added that additional deputies have been assigned to schools due to the recent number of threats.

“Students and parents should not be alarmed at our increased presence at schools,” said Sheriff Webre. “We are simply there to enhance the safety of everyone there.”

These allegations and rumors surfaced Wednesday following reports from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office that two 17-year-old male students from Thibodaux High School are facing charges of Terrorizing in reference to a plan to carry out a shooting at the school.

threat, please carefully assess the information.

For example, if the threat were time sensitive and viewed as an imminent danger, you should immediately call 911. If there is suspicious activity that may warrant further investigation or something that does not seem right, report this information to local law enforcement.

The sharing of unsubstantiated threats through social media could add chaos and panic to the school systems and further burden the facility, staff, and student body. Threats made to schools, churches, and public institutions will be expeditiously investigated with every available resource.

People who choose to make threats against others, be they real or not, can face serious charges in Louisiana.

The terrorizing law in Louisiana is a felony and states that people who intentionally communicate information of a crime of violence, which causes the public to be in sustained fear for their safety, causes the evacuation of a building, or other serious disruption to the general public can be arrested and fined up to $15,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 15 years.

Session From 1-A

Barras told Edwards the proposals were among a list of “budget reforms” required to pass to win GOP support for taxes. But even with Edwards’ support for some of the ideas, certain Republicans questioned the wisdom of passing them.

Edwards has been holding closed-door meetings with lawmakers in hopes of breaking through the impasse.

“The governor still believes they can come to an agreement on some path forward,” said Edwards spokesman Richard Carbo.

By Thursday night, Barras announced that a deal was being negotiated, with “new options” on taxes. The House adjourned until Sunday as lawmakers continued to work behind the scenes.

“I think we are making great progress,” Barras said.

In debate Thursday over the work requirements proposal, lawmakers questioned the multimillion-dollar price tag estimated to build the computer infrastructure to track Medicaid recipients to make sure they’re meeting the requirement.

“We’re going to spend millions of dollars on a software system to kick people off health care?” asked Rep. Dustin Miller, an Opelousas Democrat.

Health and Welfare Chairman Frank Hoffmann, a West Monroe

5-A

Republican, said his aim wasn’t to remove people from health care but to encourage “productive work and community engagement” that he said would help “people to stay healthy.” Edwards’ chief lawyer, Matthew Block, sitting at the table with Hoffmann, agreed.

Rep. Dodie Horton, a Haughton Republican, said that although she agreed with the “spirit of this bill,” more data was needed to analyze it.

After more questions and public testimony in opposition, Hoffmann pulled the measure from consideration.

Other Medicaid proposals later were shelved, too.

Edwards called the 17-day special session to close a $994 million shortfall in the financial year that begins July 1 caused by expiring temporary taxes passed by lawmakers. The governor wants replacement taxes passed, saying that without them, deep cuts would be forced on the TOPS college tuition program, health services and public safety spending.

The main approach favored by House GOP leaders includes permanent renewal of onequarter of the expiring 1 percent sales tax, along with elimination of some sales tax breaks, to raise an estimated $300 million a year.

Louisiana’s current state sales tax rate is 5 percent. It drops to 4 percent on July 1. The bill by Rep. Stephen Dwight, a Lake Charles Republican, would move the rate to 4.25 percent.

Democrats, particularly members of the Legislature’s Black Caucus, prefer income tax changes. They want to advance a proposal cutting tax breaks for middle- and upper-income taxpayers who itemize deductions on their income tax returns. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God.”

It was interesting that the same week that the Trump Administration was pushing for a military parade for our country, Fr. Richard Rohr was giving his daily reflections on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God.” (Matt. 5:9) What a contrast!

Maybe true Christians should advocate for a Peace parade.

The meditation starts with an address by General Omar Bradley on an Armistice Day in Boston, November 10, 1948.

“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. … Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.”

How true even today!

The meditation goes on to say, “In Jesus’ teaching and in his life, we see modeled nonviolent, peaceful action. He encourages us to ‘turn the other cheek’ and not return vengeance with vengeance. There is no way to peace other than through peacemaking itself. But many think we can achieve peace through violence. We say, ‘We will stop killing by killing.’ Sadly, that is the way we think, and it is in opposition to all great religious teachers.”

The meditation continues, “Jesus next warns us that we will be hated from all sides.

When you’re working outside the system, when you work for peace, they will not admire you inside the system. In fact, you will look dangerous, subversive, and unpatriotic. One thing you cannot call Jesus was a patriot. He was serving a far bigger realm.”

“If you are truly a peacemaker, you have to be nonviolent and have to be consistently prolife-from womb to tomb.

One of the most distressing qualities of many Christians today is that they retain the right to decide when, where, and with whom they will be pro-life peacemakers. If the other can be determined to be wrong, guilty, unworthy, or sinful, the death penalty is somehow supposed to serve justice. That entirely misses the ethical point Jesus makes: We are never the sole arbiters of life or death, because life is created by God and carries the divine image.

It is a spiritual seeing, far beyond any ideology of left or right.”

“Do we have any idea of all the slavery and oppression, all the killing, the torture, all the millions of people who have existed around the edges of every empire so those at the center of the empire could say they had peace?

Every time we build a pyramid, certain people at the top will have their peace. Yet there will be bloody bodies upon which they build their security. Those at the top are usually blind to the price of their false peace.”

How can we be peacemakers? It begins by being at peace ourselves, by connecting with the source of peace within. It means standing up in a nonviolent resist-

ance to systems of injustice. It involves learning the skills of nonviolent communication and conflict resolution.

As peacemakers, we are nonviolent to ourselves, nonviolent to all others, all creatures, and all creation, and we work publicly for a new world of nonviolence.

We are called to speak out against every aspect of violence, poverty, war, racism, police brutality, gun violence, nuclear weapons, and environmental destruction, and simultaneously call for a new culture of peace.

Canadian Christian theologian, Jean Vanier, in his book, Finding Peace, says, “Peace is the fruit of love, a love that is also justice. But to grow in love requires work – hard work. And it can bring pain because it implies loss – loss of the certitudes, comforts, and hurts that shelter

and define us.”

However, we must believe that peace is possible.

Trump

From 1-A

“Evil walks among us and God help us if we don’t harden our schools and protect our kids,” said NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre. “The whole idea from some of our opponents that armed security makes us less safe is completely ridiculous.”

The NRA officials didn’t address whether the federal government should raise the age limit for young adults to buy weapons, accusing Democrats and media outlets of exploiting the Florida shooting.

The current federal minimum age for buying or possessing handguns is 21, but the limit is 18 for rifles including as-

At the opening ceremony of the 2018 Olympics, they sang John Lennon’s “Image,”

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the

world will live as one.”

Let’s make the dream a reality.

sault-type weapons such as the AR-15 used by a former student in last week’s attack on a Florida high school that killed 17 students and staff members.

He has previously expressed an interest in efforts to strengthen the federal background check system.

The National Rifle Associated on Wednesday quickly rejected any talk of raising the age for buying long guns to 21.

“Legislative proposals that prevent lawabiding adults aged 18-20 years old from acquiring rifles and shotguns effectively prohibits them for purchasing any firearm, thus depriving them of their constitutional right to self-protection,” the group said

in a statement.

On Wednesday, Trump listened intently at the White House as students described the horror of the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. The students and their parents appealed to him to press for stricter gun controls.

“I turned 18 the day after” the shooting, said tearful student Samuel Zeif. “Woke up to the news that my best friend was gone. And I don’t understand why I can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. An AR. How is it that easy to buy this type of weapon?

How do we not stop this after Columbine? After Sandy Hook?”

Trump promised to be “very strong on background checks.” And he indicated he supported allowing some teachers and other school employees to carry concealed weapons to be ready for intruders.

A strong supporter of gun rights, Trump has nonetheless indicated in recent days that he is willing to consider ideas not in keeping with National Rifle Association orthodoxy, including age restrictions for buying assault-type weapons. Still, gun owners are a key part of his base of supporters. ___
