MIAMI (AP) — U.S. government forecasters said Thursday that they were expecting an active Atlantic hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast calls for 10 to 16 named storms, with five to nine hurricanes. One to four hurricanes could be “major” with sustained winds of at least 111 mph. If that forecast holds, it would make for a near-normal or abovenormal season.

BATON ROUGE—The House Ways and Means Committee voted 11-6 Thursday to advance a Republican bill that would raise $369 million in additional revenue next year—$279 million less than state officials say they would need to cover a projected budget shortfall. The bill, written by Rep. Lance Harris, RAlexandria, would extend one-third of the penny of sales tax that is set to expire this summer and include budget cuts to reduce the size of state

A bill enacting a local process by which domestic abusers divest their firearms has been signed into law by Governor John Bel Edwards. Senate Bill 231, authored by Senator J.P. Morrell of New Orleans, calls for statewide adoption of a process created by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office to track and monitor persons prohibited from possessing firearms due to a domestic battery conviction or qualifying protective order, as well as to assist in the divestiture of the firearms. Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office representatives were present in Baton Rouge on Wednesday, May 23 to witness Governor Edwards sign the bill into law. “This is a momentous occasion not only for the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, but also for the fight against domestic violence,” said Sheriff Craig Webre. “We are proud to have our own process implemented statewide, but we are more excited that these laws and this process will ultimately help save lives.”

Increasing crude oil prices and potential signs of growing interest in drilling in the Gulf of Mexico could signal the possibility of a turnaround in the offshore oil bust that has wounded the Houma-Thibodaux economy. Scott Angelle, director of the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said there are several key markers for the oil and gas industry that suggest improvements, including increases in production rates, drilling rig activity and well permit approvals. “I can say with a level of a confidence that it is turning around,” Angelle said. “I hear from many of the companies that they’re starting to feel much better about the Gulf of Mexico in 2018 than they did in, say, 2016.”
government. Harris, the chairman of the Louisiana Republican Legislative Delegation, argued that the budget gap is likely to be about $495 million and that state agencies would face only a 1.3 percent cut in funding on average. But the state’s Revenue Estimating Conference projects that the shortfall will be $648 million, and Jay Dardenne, a top official in Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration, said Harris’ bill would require much more “dramatic reductions” in higher education and state health services than Harris acknowledged. “When you do that, you’re going to find it’s not going to be as easy as it’s being presented today with just a one percent cut,” Dardenne said.

Budget From 1-A
The vote on Harris’ proposal came after the committee rejected, also 11-6, a bill that the governor supported that would have extended a half of the penny of sales tax and taken other steps to raise $547 million in additional revenue, reducing the shortfall to $101 million. The votes, on the third day of a special session called to solve the fiscal problems, sent only the Harris bill to the House floor and left Democrats seeking reconsideration of the governor’s proposal. A majority of the House members are Republicans, but they are deeply divided on tax issues and must make a deal with Democrats to put together the twothirds vote needed to pass any revenue measures. An earlier effort to solve the budget gap collapsed in March when 27 of the 61 House Republicans and several Democrats in the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus refused to vote for any increase in the sales tax. Democrats said Thursday that if the House passes Harris’ bill, the governor will turn to the Senate to try to increase the sales tax extension to half a penny and make other changes to raise more revenue and reduce the size of any budget cuts. Also in question Thursday was how long any extension of the sales tax should last. Harris suggested five years, while the bill with the governor’s proposals, authored by Rep. Terry Landry, D-New Iberia, would have extended the half cent permanently. The third bill, authored by Rep. Kenny
Havard, R-St. Francisville, would have permanently extended a third of a cent of the sales tax. It also was rejected by the committee. Another difference among the bills was the rate at which business utilities would be taxed. Harris’ bill would have taxed business utilities at 2 percent, while Landry’s bill would have retained the current tax on business utilities at 4 percent, with the exception of 2 percent for major manufacturing and industrial uses. Both would have removed similar sales tax exemptions for businesses. Harris said he brought the bill because he thought it would have the best chance of moving forward. “It has nothing to do with what I want or the governor wants,” Harris said. Chris Keaton, a budget analyst with the House Fiscal Division, said that basically the difference in the estimates of the project shortfall is that they were based on two different points in time. But other officials said that the Legislature needs to use the official state revenue estimates. Harris also said he would not be flexible in raising additional revenue with his bill, a compromise likely necessary to acquire votes from Democrats and some members of the Senate. Harris, who traditionally opposes raising taxes, argued that him bringing the bill forward was a compromise in itself. Ron Henson, the first assistant treasurer of Louisiana, argued that temporary revenueraising measures hurt the state’s bond rating. When a bond rating is downgraded, the mar-
kets are less trustful to the state and the cost of borrowing money increases. The meeting, which lasted over five hours, reflected the tensions carried over from the special session that collapsed in March. “This is a fabricated political problem, and the people of Louisiana are caught in the middle of it,” Rep. Barry Ivey, RCentral, said. “Games have been played by both sides for two and a half years.” “I do not lay the fiscal crisis that we entered in in 2016 on this administration,” he said. Referring to tax and budget cuts by former Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, Ivey added: “We walked into it because of the past administration.” And he said, in reference to his fellow lawmakers, “We haven’t done anything responsibly to deal with it.” When Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, started to talk about a similar revenue bill that she had once proposed, she was interrupted by the committee’s vice chairman, Jim Morris, R-Oil City, who complained that he wanted to “stick to the agenda.” “If people want to ask questions that go to those specifics of this bill, I’ll sit here with them ‘til the cows come home,” Morris said. “But I’m not gonna sit in here today and continue to listen to a bunch of political speeches. It’s just not gonna happen.”

Drilling From 1-A
In recent weeks, crude oil has been trading above $70 per barrel, a benchmark that hasn’t been hit since 2014, when prices began to nosedive. Since then, Houma-Thibodaux has lost about 16,000 jobs. “I’m not in the business of forecasting economic recovery,” Angelle said. “But I am here to say that I’ve been impressed on what I’m hearing ... on some of the things about the oil and gas industry and the Gulf of Mexico.” Last year, U.S. offshore oil production increased by 6.25 percent over the course of the year, from 592.7 million barrels in 2016 to 629.7 million barrels in 2017. Gulf of Mexico rig activity levels have also been “steadily increasing,” according to a BSEE report, with 46 operating in the Gulf as of midMay — levels that haven’t been seen in about two years. Angelle, however, said he was most excited about increased well permit approvals. Fifteen deepwater permits were approved in April, bringing the total for the first four months of the year to 35, almost twice the number approved during the same time period last year. “That’s a leading indicator that there’s some confidence that’s starting to come back,” Angelle said. In April 2017, Trump signed an executive order that asked the bureau to reevaluate some regulations in the 2016 well control rule put into place after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, which claimed 11 lives and dumped more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. The agency was tasked with identifying overly burdensome regulations without sacrificing safety or environmental safeguards, Angelle said. Some Florida politicians and environmentalists have contended that reducing the regulations will make drilling more dangerous. Revisions to the rule were submitted in late April to the Federal Register, and May 11 marked the beginning of a 60-day period where the public can submit comments. Out of the 342 provisions that make up the well control rule, the bureau determined less than 18 percent — or 59 provisions — were eligible for revision, Angelle said. “We didn’t take a chainsaw to the rule,” Angelle said. “We took a
scalpel to the rule.” Although there have been some signs that could indicate the beginning of a renewed interest in the Gulf, oil industry officials were disappointed by U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s decision in April to reject lowering royalty rates for offshore drilling by a third. While Zinke argued that American energy had been “re-lit” by Trump, the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association pointed to disappointing offshore lease sales as evidence that more needs to be done to attract investors. However, Angelle said Zinke may consider lowering the royalty rates in the future after further research. “All these things are combining to create a level of renewed optimism,” Angelle said. “I’m listening to companies saying that they’re getting a little more excited about the Gulf. That means for an area like Houma ... (and) an area like Thibodaux — places that host a lot of this activity — that better days are ahead.”
that could suppress storm development during the season’s peak months from August through October. El Nino is the natural warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide and tends to reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic. Warm waters feed a hurricane’s strength, while strong wind shear can pull it apart. If El Nino does not develop and water temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea warm up, that could fuel more storm development, said Bell, who was speaking at NOAA’s agency’s aircraft operations center in Lakeland, Florida. That facility is the base for NOAA’s “hurricane hunter” aircraft that fly into storms to collect data used in storm forecasts.
NOAA predicted that 2017 would be an aboveaverage season, and it certainly was: A trio of devastating hurricanes — Harvey, Irma and Maria — ravaged Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and many Caribbean islands. Overall, last year saw 17 named storms, including 10 hurricanes. The six-month Atlantic hurricane season officially starts Friday, June 1.
Launch From 1-A
Now, months later, the launch still hasn’t opened and some residents like Larose constituent David Breaux showed up at Tuesday’s meeting to ask for an “update” on the launch and when it might open. Parish Interim Administrator Tommy Lasseigne said Cantrelle
Sunday, May 27, 2018 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE
signed the notice to proceed for design and layout and that it will be starting soon. “I can’t imagine it taking long. Some signage is needed,” said Lasseigne. When pressed by Breaux for an opening date, Lasseigne only said that Cantrelle has been in communication with All South Engineers, Inc. who will be in charge of the improvements. “Whenever he (All South) wants to start, he can start,” said Lasseigne Signage would include warnings about launching and “overnight parking at your own risk”. Councilman Armand Autin warned the public to understand that opening the launch might take time. “Last meeting we approved All South to go out there and evaluate
the parking. We want to do things right. To say it’s gonna be tomorrow or the end of the year, I don’t know, but it’s coming. It’s moving along in typical government fashion,” said Autin. But Councilman Daniel Lorraine chastised his fellow members, saying the failure to open the launch is “uncalled-for”. “You voted eight months ago and it’s still not open. Council can say what they want; administration can say what they want. It should have been done. Period!” said Lorraine. Later in the meeting, Cantrelle echoed Lasseigne’s comment about signage. “We’re waiting for the signs to come in. Once they come in we will put them up right away and we’re gonna open it,” he stated.
Storms From 1-A
An average hurricane season produces 12 named storms, of which six become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes. “There are no strong climate signals saying it’s going to be extremely active, like last year, or extremely weak,” said Gerry Bell, the lead hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. In the short term, forecasters say chances are increasing for the first tropical weather system of the year in the Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center said Thursday a mass of low pressure in the western Caribbean is becoming better defined and will likely become a subtropical or tropical depression by late Saturday. They’re putting the chances of formation at 80 percent over the next five days. As of Thursday afternoon, the system was currently off the southeastern Yucatan Peninsula but it’s expected to move northward. Heavy rains are likely across western Cuba, much of Florida and the northern Gulf Coast into early next week. In the United States, downpours could dampen Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the tourist season. If an El Nino develops later this summer,

On May 18, deputies observed a truck, which was reported stolen in Terrebonne Parish, traveling on U.S. Hwy. 90 in Raceland with a Yamaha Wave Runner watercraft on a trailer in tow. As deputies attempted to make a traffic stop, the driver, later identified as Rodrigue, proceeded to LA Hwy. 308 and continued northbound until confronted with a bridge closure. Rodrigue then turned into a cane field and eventually abandoned the vehicle, continuing to flee on foot where deputies apprehended him moments later. He was found to have methamphetamine, marijuana, and a stolen, loaded handgun in his possession. The personal watercraft was one of a pair recently stolen out of St. James Parish. Rodrigue was booked into the Lafourche Parish Detention Center. He was charged with three counts of Illegal Possession of Stolen Things, Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Possession of a Firearm by a

Convicted Felon, Illegal Carrying of a Weapon in the Presence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, Resisting an Officer, no ignition interlock device, and no driver’s license, as well as Possession of Methamphetamine and Marijuana (2nd Offense). His bond is set at $116,550. Rodrigue was also booked on a Contempt of Court warrant for the Town of Lockport for which he has been ordered to pay $100 in fines and costs. He is also being held for Terrebonne Parish where he is wanted for Aggravated Flight from an Officer, Illegal Possession of Stolen Things and several other charges. Later that evening, deputies located the other watercraft stolen out of St. James Parish near Sevier’s residence. As deputies approached the residence Sevier ran out the back door, but was quickly apprehended. He was found to have a handgun with an obliterated serial number in his possession. He was booked with Illegal Possession of Stolen Things
5-A
and Possession of Firearms with an Obliterated Mark. He was subsequently released Tuesday, May 22 after posting $20,000 bond. Detectives are also investigating the theft of a trailer and two Yamaha Wave Runner watercrafts during the early morning hours of May 15. The trailer and watercraft were found wrecked and abandoned just off LA 1 on May 16 near the Champagne-Harrelson Bridge in Mathews. Witnesses said the trailer detached from a truck near the intersection, and the driver fled the scene. Rodrigue and Sevier are considered persons of interest in that investigation. The investigations into these incidents are continuing. Anyone with further information on these incidents is asked to submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers Bayou Region by phone at 1-800-743-7433 or online at www.crimestoppersbr.o rg. Tips can also be submitted using the P3 Tips app on your mobile device. Tipsters could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 in cash if the information leads to an arrest.

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Jesus’ command to love one another as I have loved you is the essence of being a Christian
Love exists not because we love but because God loves us. Love exists with or without us. Jesus chooses to love all of us all the time, whether or not we return that love. Love is God’s command. Once we are baptized, we become friends of Christ. As friends of the Lord, Jesus commands us to love our enemies, our neighbors, and everyone in between. Since God loves us, we must love one another. Being a loving Christian can be difficult. Jesus gives his disciples this command: “Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) Let’s face it; some people are difficult to love. They can be rude, obnoxious, controlling, domineering, passiveaggressive, paranoid, and invasive. They can be power-hungry, insensitive, phony, and unreliable and unpleasant, unpredictable, unlikable, and unbelievable. Yet, Jesus tells us to love them anyway. An important distinction exists between loving and liking. We may like some people more than others. We get along with people who have similar interests. Love is wanting what is best for a person. We can want what is best for a person even if they annoy us or aggravate us. We can still genuinely care about them even when doing so is difficult. We must decide beforehand that we are going to be a loving person no matter what. We cannot control what others will do, but we can decide that we are going to be a loving person. One problem we have in talking about love is that we have only one word in English for love but there are many different kinds of love. We have love of parents for their children, the love friend’s share, the love we have for our pets, and romantic and sexual love. However, the type of love that Jesus is talking about in the gospels is Agape Love. This is the highest and most unselfish kind of loves, the 1 Corinthians 13 love. “Love is kind and patient; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends.” (1 Cor. 13:4-8) In the introduction to this passage Paul says, “If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” (1 Cor. 13:2-3) This love is not natural; it goes against our very nature. We want revenge. Yet Jesus tells us to love the unlovable, the undeserving, and the ugly. This love gives all and asks for nothing in return. It’s the love that takes the greatest chance with no guaran-
tee that we will not get hurt. This is our choice. When we love, we take a chance. Yet C.S. Lewis said, “It’s better to love and die, than not to love and cry.” God is Love, and that love we all will slowly develop as we become more Godlike. We will begin to change from natural to a spiritual person. Jesus wants an intimate relationship with us. He calls us friends and reveals the Father’s love for us. In turn, Jesus commands us to love one another unconditionally as he has loved us. Our status of friends of Jesus makes us partners in the work of bringing people to God. This is a great privilege. This is why we carry a song in our hearts. This is the joy that Jesus told us the world could not give us.
Bill From 1-A
The law further mandated certain qualifying protective orders would also prohibit a person from possessing firearms for the duration of the order. The legislation did not, however, specify how the courts or law enforcement would notify and monitor these prohibited possessors. “This presented an opportunity for us to employ creativity and innovation to develop a safe, effective, and practical mechanism in which to divest firearms,” said Sheriff Webre. Lieutenant Valerie Martinez-Jordan of LPSO’s Police Social Services section formulated a process wherein LPSO would identify those affected by the law, notify them, assist them with firearm di-
vestiture, and track these individuals for the term of prohibited possession. This process required cooperation from the 17thJudicial District Court, municipal courts, the Lafourche Parish Clerk of Court, and the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office to ensure all requirements were met for the firearm prohibition to take effect. “We monitor all prohibited possessors in our internal data system which is shared by the other law enforcement agencies throughout the parish,” said Sheriff Webre. “Any time a law enforcement officer in Lafourche Parish encounters one of these individuals, they will immediately know the individual is prohibited from possessing firearms. If any firearms are discovered in that
