Louisiana’s unspent cash proposed for roads, colleges, coast

MONDAY, MAY 13
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — More than $400 million in unspent cash from Louisiana’s better-than-expected tax collections would pay for roadwork, coastal protection projects and public college programs, among a long list of spending plans under debate by lawmakers. The package of budget bills would plug gaps in the TOPS college tuition program, pay down debts, steer money to legal judgments owed by the state and cover the fire marshal’s overtime for investigating the burnings of three black churches in St. Landry Parish. Dollars would be invested in computer upgrades, socked into a savings account and steered to law-

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A 2006 South Lafourche High School graduate and Galliano, Louisiana, native is stationed with a command responsible for teaching future information warriors the skills required to defend America around the world. Petty Officer 1st Class Rickey Gisclair works as an information systems technician and serves with the Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Virginia Beach.

House shelves bid for governor, lieutenant governor ticket
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s governor and lieutenant governor won’t be elected jointly, after the House rejected the idea. Rep. Walt Leger, a New Orleans Democrat, proposed the candidates for Louisiana’s top two offices to be chosen on a ticket, like the president and vice president are. Leger says 26 other states choose the leaders of the offices together. He says a joint ticket could guard against political conflict and help the governor use the state’s number two official as “a true lieutenant.” Opponents questioned if the change would expand the governor’s power and move Louisiana’s politics to more closely mimic the partisanship of Washington. Only 36 lawmakers supported the idea Wednesday, while 64 opposed it. The constitutional amendment required two-thirds support, or 70 votes, to reach the Senate. ___
Tuesday likely reopening for Louisiana spillway
NEW ORLEANS, La. The Army Corps of Engineers says it wants to open a historic Mississippi River flood control channel above New Orleans on Tuesday for an unprecedented second time in one year. This comes as floods across the Midwest have caused billions of dollars of damage to homes, farms and other businesses and is less than five weeks after the Bonnet Carré Spillway was closed on April 11. The National Weather Service says continued rains in the Midwest and Ohio Valley and floodwaters from the upper Mississippi River are heading down the Mississippi. In addition, storms are expected to dump 5 to 10 inches of rain in Louisiana and Arkansas. The Mississippi River drains 41 percent of the U.S. mainland, and Corps officials say the past 12 months have been among the wettest on record. Floods across the Midwest have
caused billions of dollars of damage to homes, farms and other businesses. The spillway is opened to relieve stress on New Orleans levees when the Mississippi flows at 1.25 million cubic feet per second. ___
Louisiana welcomes the record 51.3 million visitors in 2018
BATON ROUGE, La. – Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser announced record tourism numbers for 2018. The state welcomed 51.3 million visitors in 2018, representing an increase of nine percent over the 47.1 million visitors reported by DK Shifflet in April 2017. Visitors spent $18.8 billion, an increase of seven percent over 2017. The travel and tourism industry generated $1.9 billion in state and local tax revenue in 2018. Tax revenue generated through travel and tourism spending saves each household in Louisiana $1,082 a year in taxes that would be needed to maintain current services. Investing in tourism to promote and market Louisiana leads to thousands of direct and indirect jobs for the state. At the end of 2018, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows 237,200 jobs were the result of visitor spending in Louisiana, an increase of 2,600 new tourism-related jobs over 2017. A total of 6,700 new tourism-related jobs have been added in Louisiana since 2016. ___
Trump plans to talk energy jobs in May 14 trip to Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to visit Louisiana Tuesday to highlight job growth related to energy. The White House said Monday that Trump is scheduled to travel May 14 to Hackberry, an unincorporated Louisiana community on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Houston. The president plans to tour a shipping facility that uses trains to bring in liquefied natural gas for export overseas. The White House says Trump will discuss how energy infrastructure projects such as Sempra’s Cameron LNG Export Facility in Louisiana are creating American jobs. The visit will be Trump’s third trip to Louisiana since he took office in 2017.

Celebrate Mother’s Day By Glenn Mollette Guest Columnist
Happy Mother’s Day to my dear wife who is a great mom and to every Mother everywhere! My brothers and sisters were all gone from home by the time I was eight years old. I missed them but during the summer I had my mother mostly all to myself. My dad worked third shift in the coal mines and slept most of the day. My mother’s main job was keeping me quite so I wouldn’t wake my dad from sleep. Fortunately for him he had built a small place behind our house where he slept during the day. If I didn’t bounce the basketball and played quietly all went well. I was close to my mother growing up. My sisters always said, “I was mommy’s baby.” I came along ten years after my other brothers and sisters so probably it was a little easier raising one child than trying to raise my four sisters and brothers all at once. Life was relatively simple. Some mornings during the summer we had to put bug dust on the bean patch in the garden. Some mornings we hoed corn. We raised hogs and often there were middling’s to make. We had sulfur drinking water that was unfit for washing clothes. If we had not caught enough rainwater then it meant carrying water from our nearby creek. We had about a hundred yard walk to the creek so we had to make a lot of trips back and forth to the creek for enough water. God forbid if I got busy chasing a crawl dead and stirred up the creek water. It always took a while for the silt to settle down and the water to clear up. Of course there was always lots of grass to mow with a push mower. One of the sweet parts of the day was having lunch with just mom. Usually it was sandwich, a soda pop and a Reese’s Cup, or something similar. Once I talked my mom into letting me have a root beer. She said you won’t like it and if that’s what you choose you are stuck with it.” I didn’t
like it and she stuck to her promise. I once asked her what she wanted me to be when I became an adult. She thought for a minute and said, “Become a school teacher.” Looking back I know the reason she said that was because in that era school teachers were the only people in our county who had stable jobs and incomes. My dad’s coal mining job was tough and she wasn’t wishing that on me. In her way she was saying she wanted the very best for me. I always felt like mom was on my side although she never tolerated misbehavior. We had a peach tree in our back yard and on more than one occasion she broke off a limb and used what we referred to as a “switch,” on me. I suppose that meant the peach tree limb would assist me in switching my behavior. However, mom was great. I remember how hard she worked. I know how passionately she loved our family. She took care of my dad and my four siblings. She loved God and prayed and she loved people. I miss my mom. By God’s grace and mercy I’ll see her again and my dad in heaven. My children’s mother is also deceased. My son’s and I miss her every day and I know they miss her love and devotion. They have now lived most of their lives without their mother. Mother’s day is a tough day as they can only remember. If you have a good mother, take a moment this Mother’s Day and praise her. Good words, hugs, and any deed that might make her life a little easier are well deserved. Do something that pleases mom and for one day forget about yourself. Maybe your mom and grandma are deceased. On this Mother’s Day maybe there are other special moms that you can graciously wish and express to them in some way, “Happy Mother’s Day.” We can’t go wrong celebrating Mother’s Day.

IWTC Virginia Beach is one of four schoolhouses for the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) and also oversees learning sites at Jacksonville and Mayport, Florida; Kings Bay, Georgia; and Groton, Connecticut to continue aligning the information warfare community training. “Our IWTC Virginia Beach staff members clearly demonstrate exemplary performance and leadership, shown through their significant contributions to deliver trained information warfare professionals to the fleet,” said Cmdr. Richard Bosworth IWTC Virginia Beach commanding officer. “I’m extremely proud of their accomplishments and more importantly how the impact of their hard work continues to ensure fleet mission readiness around the globe every day.” Charged with developing the future technical cadre of the information warfare community, the CIWT domain leads, manages and delivers Navy and joint force training to 22,000 students annually. With 1,200 military, civilian and contracted staff members, CIWT oversees about 200 courses at four information warfare training commands, two detachments and additional learning sites located throughout the United States and Japan. Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Gisclair is most proud of the accomplishments of fellow sailors. “My former ship, the USS Abraham Lincoln was preparing for a big inspection,” said Gisclair. “My shipmates crushed it, and hearing of it brought tremendous pride in the accomplishments we had there during my tenure.” Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Gisclair, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Gisclair is honored to carry on that family tradition. “Both grandfathers

House
From 1-A
Among the spending increases, House lawmakers propose boosting the Medicaid rates paid to providers of home- and communitybased services for the elderly and people with developmental disabilities, rates that had been slashed in prior years. “Restoring this funding will support the workers who provide these critical services and allow more people to live at home, which is where they want to be,” Andrew Muhl, advocacy director for AARP Louisiana, said in a statement praising the action. Despite the improved financial forecasts, wish lists greatly exceed available dollars. The House-backed budget proposal doesn’t include new money sought by sheriffs to house state inmates in their jails or by judges seeking pay raises. Millions wanted by early childhood education advocates to help more children from birth to 3 years old didn’t make it into the bill either, even as House members talked of needing more access for parents to early learning programs. “I am firmly a believer that this is the way to move our state forward,” said Rep. Stephanie Hilferty, a New Orleans Republican. Henry said he would like to steer more money to early childhood programs, but he added: “You have to weigh it against everything else.” Combined with other budget bills, total spending across state, legislative and judicial agencies next year would top $34 billion. Legislative agencies would get a largely flat $96 million budget next year, and the Louisiana Supreme Court and the judiciary would get a standstill $173 million budget. Both the Legislature and judiciary are sitting on surpluses. ___ House Bill 105: www.legis.la.gov Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

pleaded guilty and was given probation, prosecutors said. According to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, Delatte and Banks claimed fraudulent Section 8 housing vouchers. Banks, who relocated to Lafourche from New Orleans with her four children in 2014, received Section 8 housing assistance obtained through the Lafourche Parish Housing Authority. Based on Banks’ reported income, the Housing Authority gave her $700 a month to live as a tenant in a mobile home at 2076 La. 307 that was owned by Delatte’s company. DeLatte received the money as her landlord, prosecutors said. However, Assistant District Attorney Jason Chatagnier contended Delatte and Banks claimed $20,513 from the Housing Authority illegally because she wasn’t actually living in the trailer. Banks and Delatte were involved in a romantic relationship and lived together in Delatte’s home at 2999 Choctaw Road but still collected monthly $700 payments from the Housing Authority, Chatagnier said. Although Delatte could have served up to 10 years in prison, LeBlanc said his lack of criminal history didn’t warrant such a sentence. “I have no evidence of any criminal activity in the life of Michael Delatte,” LeBlanc said. “It’s a considerable amount of money. However, you have paid the entire amount of restitution.” Chatagnier said prosecutors had two objectives in the case, which were both accomplished. “The felony conviction and the order to pay restitution in full is a win for the people of our parish,” Chatagnier said. “It not only holds the defendant accountable for his actions, but makes the money available for those who truly need it.” Delatte’s New Orleans attorney Craig Murdock said the judge’s ruling was fair. “We’re definitely not appealing,” Murdock said. “The judge gave a very fair sentence. All things considered, we’re pleased. Mr. Delatte and myself viewed this case a lot differently than the jury and DA’s office did. Mr. Delatte would’ve always made restitution. The issue was that he got arrested and they used the threat of a criminal conviction over his head to get what they wanted. Mr. Delatte challenged that, but the jury disagreed with our theory. Mr. Delatte has made restitution and is going to go back to living his life as an exemplary citizen of Lafourche Parish.” Delatte served three terms as the District 2 councilman, serving northwestern Lafourche Parish. The disrict includes Des Allemands, Bayou Boeuf, Kraemer, Choctaw, Chackbay, Choupic, St. John, Brule Guillot and Raceland. It borders Assumption Parish to the west, St. James and St. John the Baptist parishes to the north, St. Charles Parish to the east, La. 309 to the southwest and La. 90 to the southeast.

makers’ favored local projects. Much of the spending matches recommendations made by Gov. John Bel Edwards. WHERE’S THE MONEY FROM? Louisiana had a $308 million surplus from the budget year that ended June 30, dollars limited in use by the state constitution. The state also has another $110 million in unbudgeted money for the current year, based on revised tax collection estimates. Plans to spend the money are contained in three budget bills, two of which won unanimous House backing Thursday and await debate in the Senate. House lawmakers will start advancing the third measure, the state’s construction budget bill, next week. DEBT PAYMENTS AND SAVINGS Under the constitution, one-quarter of last year’s surplus, $77 million, flows to Louisiana’s “rainy day” savings account. Another 10 percent, about $31 million, must pay down debt in the retirement systems for state workers and public school teachers. Lawmakers propose to send $25 million of the unbudgeted cash to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to cover a portion of Louisiana’s share of ongoing disaster recovery efforts. Another $9 million would pay legal judgments, money owed to people who successfully sued the state. HIGHER EDUCATION The spending plans include $22 million for higher education programs. TOPS would receive another $6.6 million to cover full tuition for eligible students, since the program costs more this school year than the $295 million lawmakers allocated for it. Other dollars would pay for LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center to recruit faculty. The LSU and Southern University AgCenters would get more cash, and LSU’s New Orleans medical school would receive more than $2 million to pay a new lease arrangement with the
Louisiana Cancer Research Center. Money would be steered to a fund expected to help with online resources for students, such as electronic textbooks. The University of Louisiana at Monroe’s pharmacy school would get $3 million to help with expenses as it undergoes accreditation review. INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS Nearly $90 million would pay for road and bridge work, coastal projects would receive $55 million and lawmakers’ favored local projects would divvy up about $51 million. Another $20 million would chip away at a lengthy backlog of repairs needed at state-owned buildings. OTHER SPENDING More than $7 million would continue computer upgrades to the state’s financial reporting system, a years-long project aimed at moving

every agency to the same accounting system. Louisiana’s child welfare agency would receive $5 million for upgrades to its eligibility system. The budget bills would steer other dollars to public safety programs. The corrections department would receive about $8 million, while the juvenile justice agency would get more than $1 million to help it handle increased caseloads from a law change shifting more offenders from the adult corrections system to the juvenile system. The Louisiana fire marshal’s office would get $37,000 to cover overtime expenses in an investigation that led to the arrest of the arson suspect in the burnings of three century-old African American churches in and around Opelousas. ___ House Bills 2, 286 and 392: www.legis.la.gov Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

NICHOLAS PITRE
Born: 1/24/80 Died: 5/11/06 If roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Son’s arms. And tell him they’re from me. Tell him that I love and miss him and when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek, and hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day. But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. All my love, MOM ________________________

Happy Mother’s Day Mom
BRENDA DANTIN
A mother is more than a memory. She’s a living presence in your heart. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and the perfume that she wore. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you are sick. She’s the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep. She’s the colors of the rainbow. She is the place you come from, your first home. She’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, and nothing can separate you … not time, not space, not even death. Love and miss you so much, Gina and Stacy ____________________

Lord, are those roses in your garden, on the shores of Jubilee; would you pick a dozen of your best, and deliver them for me? For you see, today is Mother’s Day, and I can’t go visit my mom; for it wasn’t very long ago, the angels came and took her home. So if there are roses in your garden, on the shoes of Jubilee; would you pick a dozen of your best, and deliver them for me? Would you take them to my mother, and tell her that I love her; Tell her I miss her, in oh so many ways. But I have joy in knowing, we’ll meet again someday; and we’ll pick roses together, on the shores of Jubilee. Love and Miss you, Ann, Michael, Johnny, Jerome ____________________
So many things of Mom I miss, her gentle hug and tender kiss. I still can feel her warm embrace, and picture yet her loving face. A mother’s tasks are never done. And Heaven must have needed one. For angels came and took her hand, and led her to God’s promised land. She’s surely kept quite busy there, while brushing little angel’s hair. And making sure they’re dressed just right, not staying out too late at night. Although there’s sadness, this I know … she’s waiting there, her face aglow. I close my eyes and I can see, her arms still open wide for me. Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day Love, your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren ______________________
Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day
ANNA MAE RICHOUX
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do, too. The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause us pain, But you’re forever in our hearts, until we meet again. Love, your children _____________________

Gisclair was booked with Possession of Vyvanse, marijuana, and drug parapher Beaty nalia. Following the burglary investigation, detectives obtained arrest warrants for all three men. Gisclair and Randazzo, who were still in jail, were each booked with five counts of Simple Burglary. Randazzo’s bail is set at $127,000, and Gisclair’s bail is set at $127,100. Christopher Beatty, who was also wanted for five counts of burglary, turned himself in to authorities Wednesday evening. His bail is set at $125,000.

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd To achieve peace and happiness one must conquer self and learn to forgive
Coach Dale Brown continues from last week to share his experiences, thoughts and stories in a speech he gave on The Importance of Spiritual Formation in Families. “As with any journey, sometimes the sheer magnitude of the trip will overwhelm us as parents. Remember that a journey contains many small steps filled with many bumps in the road along the way. However, if we keep our feet planted in common sense and surrender ourselves to faith and love, then we can find true success and lasting inner peace in our families. “What are some obstacles to spiritual freedom? Worldly attachments like materialism. By detaching ourselves from worldly things, we will be set free. We live in a gluttonous, lazy, self-indulgent, television addicted society. God bless America and wake up America. This doesn’t mean that we cannot have enjoyable things; but do not let our possessions possess us. “When we seek praise and admiration, we are worrying too much about what others think. Human praise and admiration can neither add nor subtract from our true worth. God sees us as we really are. We are what we are in the eyes of God, nothing more or nothing less. “All people desire peace, but few do what it takes to obtain true peace. Some think they will find it in financial security. Others seek it in continual activity. Others hope to find it in human friendship, praise or admiration. These things are not the source of true peace. A daily life of straight thinking and unselfish following God’s will is the one and only source of true peace. “Author Emmett Fox once said, ‘There is so much frustration in the world because we have relied on gods rather than God. We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate. We have worshiped the god of pleasure only to discover that thrills play out and sensations are short lived. We have bowed before the god of money only to learn that there are such things as love and friendship that money cannot buy. These transitory gods are not able to save or bring happiness to the human heart. Only God is able. It is faith in him that we must rediscover. “Today we see too much emphasis placed on earthly success: jobs, notoriety, money, ego.” “We have seen an increase of strife in the home – a lack of respect for other family members, jealousy, selfishness, more worry and anxiety, lack of patience and listening skills. We need to be more transparent and become actors rather than reactors. We have to model by example.” “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. Children learn what they live: If a child lives with criticism, s/he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hos-
tility, s/he learns to fight. If a child lives with fear, s/he learns to be apprehensive. If a child lives with pity, s/he learns to feel sorry for him/herself. If a child lives with jealously, s/he learns to feel guilty. “If a child lives with encouragement, s/he learns to be confident. If a child lives with praise, s/he learns to be appreciative. If a child lives with recognition, s/he learns it is good to have a goal. If a child lives with approval, s/he learns to like him/herself. If a child lives with honesty, s/he learns what truth is. If a child lives with fairness, s/he learns justice. “If a child lives with acceptance, s/he learns to love. If a child lives with security, s/he learns to have faith in him/herself and others. If a child lives with friendliness, s/he learns
the world is an enjoyable place to live. If a child lives with God, s/he learns the meaning of his/her existence.
“The only conquest that brings peace and happiness is self conquest and forgiveness.”
