Council rejects jail health care contract By Julia Arenstam Daily Comet Staff Writer
The Lafourche Parish Council rejected a bid for health care services for the parish jail Tuesday W night, forcing the administration to advertise again for bids with less than 30 days before the current contract expires. The council voted 43 on the new contract with Quality Correctional Health, which failed for a lack of at least five members in support. Those voting against were Councilmen Jerry Jones, Jerry Lafont and Daniel Lorraine. Council members Michael Gros and Luci Sposito were absent. The current contract holder, Correct Health, objected to the new contract, contesting that it was not notified of the bid process. The parish said the request for bids was published for a month and that the company was notified of the upcoming bid months in advance. See Council Page 3-A

A map from the state’s coastal master plan shows land loss (red) in Lafourche, Terrebonne and surrounding parishes that scientists say will occur within 50 years if nothing is done to stop it. The projected loss is called a “medium” scenario. Others are better or worse, depending on estimates or erosion, sea level rise and sinking land (Louisiana Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority)
Since 1947, a gauge run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has captured the Gulf of Mexico’s steady rise at Grand Isle. About 70 miles to the east, data collected at Eugene Island between 1939 and 1974 showed a similar trend: the water is rising at a rate of about 3 feet every century. It’s the highest rate of any area along the Gulf. In the 71 years of data collection at Grand Isle, NOAA found that the relative sea level rise has equated to about 9.08 millimeters, a little over a third of an inch, each year. While a centimeter may not sound like much, NOAA scientist Tim Osborn said the effect

is amplified in parts of Louisiana like Terrebonne Parish, where much of the land is only a few feet above sea level. Some areas in both Terrebonne and Lafourche are below sea level, relying on levees to keep the water out. “If you’re living at 15, 20, 80 feet above sea level, then you’re not really bothered by this,” he said. “Since 80 percent of Terrebonne is at 2 feet or less, then you’re losing a lot.” Only about 8 percent of Terrebonne is inhabitable; the rest is water and marsh. Each millimeter reduces the amount of livable land. Two factors contribute to the water’s approach: global sea level rise and sinking land, or subsidence. See Sinking Land Page 3-A

Deputies: Alligator bit off piece of patrol car in Louisiana
MOORINGSPORT, La. (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies in Louisiana say an alligator took a bite out of one of their patrol cars. WBRZ-TV reports deputies were called Monday to Louisiana Highway 1 in Caddo Parish after someone spotted the gator in the middle of the road. The sheriff’s office says deputies were waiting for wildlife removal experts to arrive when the alligator chomped off a piece of the front bumper. Deputies estimate the alligator was 8 feet long. A photo from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Facebook page shows the reptile in grass next to what appears to be the black rectangular grill of the car. Authorities say the gator escaped before the wildlife removal experts arrived. Information from: http://www.wbrz.com

Federal hate crime charges filed in black church fires
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The son of a Louisiana sheriff’s deputy is facing federal hate crime charges in connection with three fires that destroyed African American churches earlier this year. Holden Matthews, 21, was charged in a sixcount federal indictment that was unsealed Wednesday. The indictment charges Matthews with three counts of “intentional damage to religious property,” which the Department of Justice said is a hate crime under the U.S. Church Arson Prevention Act. He’s also charged with three counts of “using fire to commit a felony.” Matthews is white and the churches served black congregations. The indictment, however,

Good news for auto policyholders in Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon announced another rate decrease for private passenger auto policies in Louisiana. Progressive Security Insurance Company submitted a rate filing for a decrease of -2.2% on new and renewal business. The decreases will take effect in late summer. “This rate decrease by the second-largest auto insurer in the state is a sign of continued benefits brought about by competition and hopefully more good news to come,” said Commissioner Donelon. “In my opinion, Progressive’s action is an appropriate response to State Farm’s recent efforts to reclaim auto policies they have lost and a sign of competition working for consumers.” Over the last year, Commissioner Donelon granted State Farm approval for three rate decreases for coverage on private passenger vehicles. The total impact of the rate changes taken together is a decrease of -7.7 percent. State Farm is the largest auto insurer in the state with 1,000,000 policies but has lost about 100,000 policies over the last 2 years. More than 175,000 Progressive policyholders in Louisiana will see a decrease of -2.2 percent which will take effect in September for renewed policies.
What can we as fathers do with our remaining years? We can’t turn back the clock. Any and all missed opportunities cannot be reclaimed. Some fathers live with regrets while others know they did the best they could. I don’t know of too many dads who deeply feel like they have been perfect. In our younger adult and middle age years we had a lot on our plates. We were trying to make it in our jobs and keep food in the house and a roof over our heads. Most of the time we were juggling long hours. Most of us tried to do the best we could. The best you can do with your remaining years is to love your children and grandchildren and others. Call them on the telephone and visit them every chance you have. Engage in personal conversations. Talk to them about their lives and what they are doing. Give advice but don’t overdo it. Try to remember how well you listened to advice when you were 30 years old. Help your family as you can but if you do it all the time you will cripple them. What are your children going to do when you are gone? They have to make it financially and emotionally. Birds must learn to fly on their own and so do our children. Most anyone can go through a lot of money in a year or two if they don’t know how to budget and live thrifty. Find opportunities to engage with family as you can. Sometimes a day trip in a car with the radio off provides a lot of
casual opportunities to talk about old times and new times. Casually let your children in on things you have learned in your life. They might remember them later down the road. Ask them to tell you what they have learned and you will probably discover your child is going through some of the same stuff you did at his or her age. As a father keep it balanced. How many years do you have left? I see old dads who spend every day with their children and grandchildren and maybe this is what you want. Personally, I don’t think it’s healthy for anybody. Husbands and wives need to stay emotionally connected and this means taking time to go out of town by themselves. Whether it’s vacation, hobbies or simply maintaining an independent life. I’ve seen too many dads move in with a child and then soon the child was controlling dad’s checkbook and telling dad how to spend his money. The next move of course is “finding a home for dad,” which means assisted living or a nursing home. Keep your independence. Keep driving. Do daily activities to keep strong. Eat healthy as possible. See good doctors and stay away from the bad ones. Finally, be a good, happy, loving and independent father. That is probably the best gift you can give your children this father’s day.

Projects From 1-A
The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium has been working toward opening a new marine research unit in Houma, further to the north and safer from rising water levels than its existing facility in Cocodrie. Construction of the new building is expected to cost $58.8 million. Nicholls State University managed to get five projects onto the state list, including money for the renovation and expansion of Baker Hall, building Americans with Disabilities Act compliant restrooms in Stopher Hall, renovations of Didier Field and the campus greenhouse, and the bayou side park development project. Nicholls this week outlined plans for a $6.5 million state-of-the art football facility and renovations for Baker Hall. The projects will receive a combined $8.9 million from the state and $2.5 million from a private donation for the new facility. In Terrebonne Parish, the Bayou Country Sports Park has reappeared on the state list. State money was the park’s original primary financing source. About $5.3 million for the park was cut from the list in 2017. If approved, the park should receive just under $10,000 this year, followed by about $1.9 million in priority 5 money. The Terrebonne Recreation District 2-3 Board has discussed the potential for this new money to speed up the next round of construction projects, including a family-day use area and beach around the retention ponds at the park. The town of Golden Meadow is in line to receive over $2 million for drainage and sewer projects.

Sinking Land From 1-A
Along the Gulf, 2-3 millimeters of the relative sea level rise is due to the introduction of more water into the ocean through climate change, federal scientists say. Thanks to the composition of Louisiana’s coast, subsidence is occurring at a higher rate than anywhere else in the United States. Osborn said his agency looks at the gauge in Pensacola, Florida, which sits on limestone, as an example of an area only facing climate change. Seas there are rising by about 2.4 millimeters per year. Alex Kolker, a scientist at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium’s research center in Cocodrie, said about one-third of the relative sea level rise in coastal Louisiana is due to climate change, while the other two-thirds are from sinking. Some areas of Louisiana, such as Baton Rouge, have a lower subsidence rate than Terrebonne based on factors such as how much soft sediment there is, the amount of oil and gas being pulled out of the ground and how much has been built up on marsh and old swamps. Kolker described 3 feet of expected sea level rise per century as the difference between having water in your shoes or wading through water up to your midsection. Rather than using the term climate change to describe what’s happening to the coast, Kolker said he prefers the term “coastal change.” “Some of the biggest factors have been other factors than climate change,” he said. But global sea levels are expected to become more of a concern over the next few decades. “It’s the component of coastal change that’s likely to change the most in the coming years,” Kolker said. Scientists expect that the rate of global
sea level rise will accelerate to match Louisiana’s subsidence rate at 1 centimeter per year by the middle of the century, he said. LUMCON scientist Brian Roberts and Osborn noted that south Louisiana residents have already begin to adapt. Roberts pointed to the development of Morganza-to-the-Gulf, a system of levees, locks and floodgates that helps protect most of Terrebonne and part of Lafourche from storms surges. Osborn noted that many Plaquemines Parish residents have migrated to nearby Jefferson Parish to escape flooding and now commute to and from their home community for work. “This is important to people,” he said. “And that’s something we need to think about as we move forward.” — Daily Comet Staff Writer Halle Parker can be reached at hparker@h oumatoday.com or 857-2204.

Council From 1-A
Correct Health has held the contract for 11 years. A representative of the company said it could be willing to extend the current contract by 30 days to allow more time for the rebid process. Health care for the parish’s inmates is the responsibility of the parish and costs roughly $1.2 million a year. Councilman Craig Jaccuzzo, who is also running for Lafourche Parish sheriff this fall, warned council members that the cost could double with the increased capacity at the new jail. Parish Risk Manager Brent Abadie, who represented the administration in Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle’s absence at the meeting, said the parish is in “on-
Sunday, June 16, 2019 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE
going discussions” with the Sheriff’s Office over how to share some of these costs. The council’s Legislative Internal Auditor Reggie Bagala announced at the meeting that he is taking an indefinite leave of absence. “I love our people, I love our community, I love my fellow employees and I love public service. I will miss y’all, be it temporarily, and I will check in from time to time hopefully achieving the goal and the path that I’m currently on,” Bagala said. Bagala is currently campaigning for the District 54 seat in the state House of Representatives. After the meeting, Bagala said he wanted to take time off work to focus on his campaign and to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. Because of the upcoming budget process, Bagala said he will work about five hours a week to help the council. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Julia Arenstam can be reached at 448-7636 or julia.arenstam@houmatoday.com.

Edwards From 1-A
Supporters said ride-hailing services can lessen drunken driving, boost economic development and help people without cars and with limited public transportation options in their communities. Magee said the transportation networks are the sign of a “modern state,” and he described people approaching him in Houma-area restaurants and businesses asking him when they would be able to use Uber and Lyft like other communities. “This is a huge win for the state of Louisiana. A lot of times we lag behind the things in a modernized society,” said Sen. Rick Ward, the Port
3-A
Allen Republican who shepherded the legislation through the Senate. The lone opponent to the legislation this session was Kenner Republican Sen. Danny Martiny. He argued the bill improperly puts regulatory authority with the transportation department, rather than the Public Service Commission, which regulates taxicabs. He warned that the law was certain to face a lawsuit. “Some cab company or somebody else is going to challenge it,” Martiny warned senators during debate. But proponents of the legislation said the Public Service Commission doesn’t have the authority to regulate in areas with home rule charters, as two dozen of Louisiana’s parishes have. Under the regulations, the transportation department will permit ride-hailing services. The companies cannot have drivers with more than three moving violations within the past three years, who have been convicted of certain types of crimes or who are registered as sex offenders. The legislation describes what fees are allowed. Victor Silvio, a Baton Rouge driver for Uber and Lyft who urged lawmakers to enact the statewide rules, attended Tuesday’s bill signing. He said his son Christopher was killed in an accident caused by a drunken driver. Silvio does a lot of late-night rides, hoping to lessen the number of dangerous drivers on the road. “Every time I pick up somebody, I think of my son,” he said. He said expanding the services “means more people will get home safely, and that’s a big plus in my book.” ___ House Bill 575: www.legis.la.gov Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Father’s Day Memorials
NORMAN “T-BOY” SANCHEZ, JR.
I didn’t know that morning; the pain the day would bring When a golden heart stopped beating; and I couldn’t do a thing. No words can heal the heartache; or stop a silent tear, Or take away the memories; Of the DAD I loved so dear. Your resting place I visit; the flowers I place with care. But noting compares to the pain I feel; when I turn and leave you there. Happy Father’s Day. Love your children, -Chad, Jessica, and Brittany ________________________

uncles and grandpas I miss you so much Dad You were a Dad who was so special, and who was loved so very much; And brought so much happiness, to the many hearts you touched. You were always kind and caring; and so understanding too. And, if help was ever needed Dad; it so freely came from you. You were a gift to all the world, and brought joy to everyone; And life has never been the same, ever since you have been gone. We love and miss y’all.

RUDY KING
It’s only been a few months since you’ve gone home to heaven, Dad, but we already miss you so much, every day. We miss your presence and your humor. We miss your advice and your kind words. We miss spending time with you and learning from you. Yet, in this time, we find comfort: you are in heaven, in the glory of our heavenly Father. It is us who feel the pain and sorrow. You are now in your most perfect form, free from the pain of life here on earth. You lack for nothing, you are whole. So while we miss you, we understand that it was your time to meet and be with our Lord. We cherish our loving memories of you, and we will see you again one day in heaven, when you help welcome each of us home. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. You are loved and missed greatly.
Happy Father’s Day In Heaven

In Loving Memory of
A father’s touch, a Daddy’s kiss, a grieving Daughter, the Dad will always miss, An empty house, an empth chair, A father’s love, no longer there, A broken heart, tear filled eye, Another soul in the sky, The times we shared, The laughs we had, Things I miss when I think of MY DAD Always loved, sadly missed LOVE, Hunter-Bailey ________________________
My Dad If I could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told. I’d write about my dad, for he had a heart of gold. My Dad was my hero, known around this world. He was everything to me, for I was his baby girl. He taught me right from wrong and that one day I’d be strong. He taught me to face my fears and take each day as it comes, For there are things that we can’t change, He would say what’s done is done. If I could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told. I’d write about my dad, for he had a heart of gold. Love You Dad, Raven ____________________

Sunrise: 9/3/46 Sunset: 4/19/19 Dad, it’s your first Father’s Day in Heaven. Our heart still aches in sadness; our silent tears still flow; for what it meant to lose you; no one will ever know. Although you can’t be here with us, we’re truly not apart; until the final breath we take, you’ll be living in our hearts. Though absent you are very near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

We miss your face; you were taken too soon. Your beaming smile that lit up the room. We miss the jokes and the twinkle in your eye. We keep asking ourselves why, oh why. We miss how you cared and protected us so. But why, oh why, did you have to go? We love you Dad; it’s unbelievably clear that we would do anything to have you back here. But until the day we meet again, warm in our hearts is where you remain. Love, Your Boys Devin and Brendon

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Jesus’ asked us to continue his work of healing, loving and proclaiming
Jesus’ Ascension into heaven is part of our Profession of Faith. Some people have problems believing in Jesus’ Ascension, because the narrative assumes a three-storied universe: 1) A solid dome of heaven above the earth; 2) The flat earth; 3) The underworld often called Hades or Hell. The Biblical authors could only describe reality as they understood the composition of their world. Before Galileo’s observations of the universe (he died in 1642), most educated people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that all heavenly bodies revolved around the Earth. Our ancestors pictured heaven as “up” above the great super dome in the sky. They pictured God’s throne above the Superdome looking down on earth. The sun, the moon, and the stars revolved around the top of this dome. Of course, we understand our universe in an entirely different way. So we have to “translate” what they were trying to tell us. Heaven is not so much a place but another dimension, a different state of being. Heaven is being with God, seeing God face to face. We know that God is everywhere. When we get to heaven, we are not going to be confined to a place. We can discover God’s vast universe and talk to people whom we admired on earth. So when did Jesus go to heaven? On Good Friday the person we call the Good Thief was hanging on a cross next to Jesus. His prayer was, “Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom.” Jesus’ answer was, “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.” When Jesus died he went to heaven just like we would go to heaven if we died in the state of grace. According to the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus continued to visit his followers after his Resurrection for about 40 days. Now 40 days does not mean exactly 40 days. It means “a long time.” It’s not a magical number. It’s used as a figure of speech to mean a long while. Some examples: Noah was in the ark when it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Jews were in the desert for 40 years. Elijah was escaping from Jezebel and walked 40 days and 40 nights to a safe cave. Jesus went into the desert before starting his public ministry for 40 days. So what ultimately happened on the Mount of Olives on the day we call the Ascension? Jesus, after spending a long time with his disciples after his resurrection “speaking about the kingdom of God,” told his followers they would not see him again. When Jesus appeared with his incorruptible body, he strengthened and helped them put their lives together. Before Jesus returned to the Father, he commissioned his followers to continue his work. Jesus told them that he was not going to leave them orphaned. He would send the Spirit to be with them and guide them in passing on the Good News of God’s love for us. I want you to envision a relay race. The
runners pass the baton from one person to another. Jesus now passes the baton to us. We have to continue his work of healing, loving and proclaiming the good news of God’s love. The Ascension is not about telling Jesus goodbye, but realizing that the ball is in our court. We have to continue Jesus’ work. The Sacred writers used the image of a conquering General sitting at place of honor (the right hand) of the King. Jesus, who became a 100% human and identified with our human nature, has the “ear” of the king. He also has gone to prepare a place for us in his kingdom. The church is Christ’s body called to behave as Jesus behaved – taking his love, his grace, and his mercy into our world. That’s the challenge of the Ascension.
Age appropriate books were given at the celebration at the end of the school year to each pre-k child at North Larose Elementary, South Larose Elementary, Cut Off Elementary, Galliano Elementary and Golden Meadow Lower Elementary through the collaborative efforts of the Golden Meadow Lions Club, Golden Meadow Volunteers for Family and Community and the Fore! Kids Foundation. Receiving the books from Louise Adams, VFC literacy chairman, (far left) and Harold Adams, GM Lions Club member (far right) for North Larose’s students are (left to right) Melissa Fanguy, pre-k teacher; Celeste LeBoeuf, principal; and Shelly Guidroz, pre-k teacher. Before the books were distributed, Mrs. Adams stressed to the parents at North Larose the importance of reading to the children during the summer months.
