Motorcyclist killed in Thursday morning crash

Shortly before 10:00 a.m. Thursday morning, Troopers with Troop C responded to a two-vehicle fatality crash on LA 1 near Octavia Street in W which took the Larose life of 48-year old Smokey Rogers of Galliano.

The preliminary investigation revealed Rogers was traveling south on LA 1 on a 2004 Honda motorcycle, when as he approached Octavia Street, a northbound 2012 Nissan Rouge slowed down to make a left turn from LA 1 onto Octavia Street.

The Nissan was being driven by 70-year old Deanna Compeaux of Larose. Compeaux failed to yield to Rogers and made a left turn in front of him. Rogers’ motorcycle struck the passenger side of Compeaux’s vehicle and he sustained fatal inSee Crash Page 3-A

Refinancing your debt could be a good idea if...

This article is intended to provide general information and should not be considered legal, tax or financial advice. It’s always a good idea to consult a legal, tax or financial advisor for specific information on how certain laws apply to you and about your individual financial situation.

Have you ever considered how lenders compare applicants?

Typically, the lowest rate goes to those who have the highest likelihood of repaying the loan on time. A lot of data goes into determining that probability, including the person’s credit, income and outstanding debt.

As these factors improve, your terms on new loans might improve as well. You could also refinance debts you took on earlier in life to take advantage of the changes. As a result, you might be able to decrease your interest rate, lower your monthly payment and save a lot of money.

Refinancing, which is often done by taking out a new loan to pay off existing debt, can be surprisingly simple. In some cases, you can submit all the information online, and the entire process will only take a few days. However, refinancing more complex debts, such as a mortgage, can take considerably longer.

While refinancing doesn’t always make sense, it’s worth considering if you’re in one of the following situations.

Interest rates dropped. Some loans’ interest rates depend on a benchmark interest rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Even if your financial profile stays the same, when the benchmark rate rises or falls, your interest rate on a new loan could rise or fall as well.

You want to change the terms of your loan.

Because you’re taking out a new loan to pay off existing debt, you might have the opportunity to change the terms of the loan. For example, you could have a variablerate student loan whose interest rate rises or falls with a benchmark. You might be able to refinance with a fixed-rate student loan and have certainty that your monthly payments won’t change in the future.

If you have a lower interest rate after refinancing and have the same amount, or less, time to repay the loan, you can save money over the lifetime of the loan.

You want to lower your monthly payments.

Say you have a 30-year mortgage that you’ve been paying off for five years. If you refinance with another 30-year mortgage, you have an extra five years to pay off approximately the same amount of money. As a result, your monthly payments could be lower, but be sure to take into consideration the fact that you will likely wind up paying

more in interest.

Your loan has a cosigner. Perhaps you asked someone to cosign your auto loan to improve your chances of getting approved or getting a lower interest rate.

If you’re eligible for refinancing on your own, you might be able to release your cosigner and take full responsibility for the new loan.

Proceed carefully because applying for refinancing could hurt your credit. Applying for refinancing often results in a hard inquiry, when a potential lender reviews your credit. Generally, a single hard inquiry won’t have a large negative impact on credit, but multiple hard inquiries might.

When you’re refinancing a mortgage, auto loan or student loans you can still shop around and try to find the best rate without worrying about your credit too much. As long as the hard inquiries happen within a 14- to 45-day period (depending on the credit-scoring model) the credit-scoring model will consider them a single inquiry.

Consider the fees and find your break-even

An old Native American loan

An old Native American wanted a loan for $500.

The banker pulled out the loan application.

“What are you going to do with the money?” he asks the Indian.

“Buy silver, make jewelry, and sell it,” was the response.

“What have you got for collateral?”

“Don’t know collateral,” replied the Indian.

“Well that’s something of value that would cover the cost of the loan,” replied the banker.

“Have you got any vehicles?”

“Yes. 1949 Chevy pickup,” replied the Indian.

The banker shook his head, “How about livestock?”

“Yes, I have a horse,” replied the Indian.

point before refinancing.

Depending on the type of debt and the lender, there could be costs associated with refinancing debt. For example, some loans have an origination fee, either a flat fee or a percentage of the loan amount, which could be significant.

The break-even point is how long it’ll take you to recoup the costs associated with refinancing. For example, it could cost you $3,000 to refinance your mortgage, but you’ll save $150 each month. You’ll break even after 20 months because that’s when you’ll have saved $3,000 in monthly payments. If you plan on selling the home before the break-even point, it likely doesn’t make sense to refinance.

Use the same sort of calculations to weigh the pros and cons of refinancing other types of debts. When it looks like refinancing could be beneficial, shop around to try and find the terms that best fit your needs.

“How old is it?” the banker asks.

“Don’t know, has no teeth,” replies the Indian.

Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

Several weeks later the old man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, “Here to pay,” he said.

He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off.

“What are you going to do with the rest of that money?” the banker asks.

“Put in hogan”, replied the Indian.

“Why don’t you deposit it in my bank,” the banker asked.

“Don’t know deposit,” replied the Indian.

“You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. Whenever you want to use it, you can withdraw it.”

The old Indian leaned across the desk and asks the banker, “What you got for collateral?”

juries as a result of the crash.

He was pronounced deceased on scene by the Lafourche Parish Coroner’s Office. Compeaux sustained minor injuries and was transported to Ochsner St. Anne Hospital by Acadian Ambulance Service.

Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash; however, a standard toxicology report is pending on the part of Rogers. Compeaux submitted a blood sample for toxicology testing and the results are also pending. Rogers was wearing a helmet that was not DOT compliant. Compeaux was properly restrained at the time of the crash.

Louisiana State Troopers would like to remind all drivers to look twice for motorcycles while traveling on the roadways and would also encourage all riders to take an approved motorcycle safety course.

These courses teach safe riding practices and help motorcycle riders to apply safe riding strategies that can help reduce their chance of injury should a crash occur.

said Max Gulker, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research.

“For the most part, there was a decline in energy prices for a lot of the year,” Gulker said.

“But at the end of the year we saw that uptick in gas from the hurricanes.”

The average monthly Social Security payment

is $1,258, or about $15,000 a year.

Congress enacted automatic annual increases for Social Security in 1975. Presidents often get blamed when increases are small or zero. But President Donald Trump has no power to boost the increase, unless he persuades Congress to change the law.

In 2009, President Barack Obama persuaded Congress to approve one-time payments of $250 to Social Security recipients as part an economic stimulus package.

Over the past eight years, the annual COLA has averaged just above 1 percent. In the previous decade, it averaged 3 percent.

Johnson noted that multiple years of small or no COLA’s reduces the income of retirees for the rest of their lives.

“Think about the length of a retirement period. Eight years is about a third of a (healthy) retirement,” Johnson said.

The COLA is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, a broad measure of consumer prices. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.

The August report says energy prices are up 6.5 percent from the previous year, while the cost of medical care is up just 1.7 percent. The cost of food is up 1.1 percent.

The COLA is calculated using the average CPI-W for July, August and September, and comparing it to the same three months from the previous year. ___ Follow Stephen Ohlemacher on Twitter at http://twitter.com/stephenatap

Louisiana ranks 2nd for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis rates

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Sexually transmitted diseases have increased across the U.S. for a third consecutive year and Louisiana ranked second-highest for each of the three STDs measured.

NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reported Tuesday that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Louisiana has the second-highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. The CDC’s 2016 STD Surveillance Report was released in late September.

Louisiana had roughly 16 syphilis cases per 100,000 people. Gail Bolan with the CDC said that babies born with syphilis represent a systems failure as “all it takes is a simple STD test and antibiotic treatment to prevent this enormous heartache.”

Louisiana’s chlamydia rate was nearly 680 cases per 100,000 people.

Gonorrhea was around 230 cases per 100,000.

A CDC report released last year said Louisiana had the second-highest rate of HIV diagnoses.

Hotel hit by Hurricane Nate will reopen half of rooms Sunday

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi hotel damaged by Hurricane Nate will reopen half its rooms Sunday.

Margaritaville Resort Biloxi spokesman Cono Carana tells news outlets that the storm damaged elevators and escalators.

Hotel officials estimate $7.5 million in damage.

Carana says two elevators will be repaired, and the hotel will reopen 170 rooms. Its restaurants, rooftop water park and large entertainment center also will be open.

Margaritaville opened 16 months ago after the remodeling and expansion of the former Casino Magic Biloxi that had been closed since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Neighboring casinos south of the beachfront U.S. 90 on the east end of Biloxi all reopened Sunday after the hurricane made landfall. ___

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans’ Audubon Zoo has a new gorilla, but she may be spending more time indoors than on view for a while.

The western lowland gorilla’s name is Tumani, Swahili for “Hope” — and zookeepers hope the 10year-old from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the Audubon Zoo’s current female, Praline, attract a male expected later.

First, they have to make friends with each other, and then with a third female. Then a male can join them, zoo spokesman Frank Donze said Tuesday.

He said each newcomer starts indoors, able to see and spend time with the others, but not to touch them. Praline can go in and out, but may be spending much of her time indoors, getting acquainted with Tumani.

Praline is the last gorilla born at the zoo.

She’s 21 years old.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature says a few hundred-thousand western lowland gorillas may exist in the wild, but they’re critically endangered because poaching, disease and habitat loss have reduced their numbers more than 80 percent over three generations.

The Audubon Zoo’s previous male, Casey, was moved to the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky because he’d failed to father babies with four females over 15 years at Audubon. ___

her to have a normal life.

Years later, the 16-yearold not only granted her mother’s wish, but she also accomplished a rare feat: Perfect scores on the SAT and ACT exams.

It is unclear how many people earn perfect scores on both. Neither the ACT nor College Board, which administers the SAT, track that data.

Additionally, Narayanamoorthy had no expectations that she would land a 1600 on the SAT and a 36 on the ACT. She is the daughter of Tulane accounting professors Ganapathi “Gans” Narayanamoorthy and Anupama Varadharajan.

With perfect scores secured for college applications, Narayanamoorthy is now focusing on other aspects of life. Although she has yet to choose a university or a major, she admits one of her options is to “ditch college and open a bakery.” That might sound surreal, but Narayanamoorthy is already the owner of an online cupcake business that features its goods on Instagram. ___

“They were on routine patrol,” he said.

“They saw something that aroused their suspicion.

They were exiting the vehicle and upon exiting the vehicle what we have learned is that this perpetrator fired at our officer, striking our officer.”

The suspect fled inside an apartment, which was then surrounded by a SWAT team, Harrison said. The police department’s negotiation team was also called to the apartment and negotiations with the accused gunman eventually led to a peaceful surrender, he said.

The accused gunman was taken to a hospital with several gunshot wounds, Harrison said. ___

New Orleans police officer shot and killed while on patrol

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A New Orleans police officer was shot and killed early Friday, ambushed while getting out of a patrol car to investigate something which had aroused suspicions on the city’s east side, police said.

The accused shooter, a man believed to be 30 years old, was also shot when officers returned fire, Police Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters at an early morning news conference.

At least one — possibly two — officers returned fire “and our officer collapsed right there on the scene,” Harrison said.

Trial set for ex-TV host accused of child sex abuse

ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) — An accused child molester who was a television personality in Louisiana will go to trial next year.

News outlets report the trial for Frank John Selas III is set for February 5. Selas, also known as Mr. Wonder, was a popular host on a children’s show that KNOETV aired during the 1970s.

As Mr. Wonder, he took a group of children camping to Valentine Lake in June 1979. After the trip, a complaint was filed with the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office that alleged sexual abuse. Detectives went to arrest Selas, but he fled.

He was arrested nearly 40 years later at his suburban San Diego home.

The Alexandria Daily Town Talk reports a grand jury indicted Selas on multiple offenses including rape. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you have a gut feeling about something but not much tangible proof to back up your suspicions, use your intuition as a guide.

It seldom leads you astray.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, racing through all of your activities will get you somewhere fast, but the results may be sloppy.

Slow down and see the bigger picture.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you continue to vacillate on a decision, pretty soon you will begin to doubt your decision-making abilities. Trust your intuition.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Taking everything onto your shoulders is one way to get noticed, Cancer. But it’s also a way to burn out. When others offer to lighten your load, take them up on it.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a newfound commitment to living healthy will benefit you in the short- and long-terms. Keep up the good work and enlist others to help you stay motivated.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others trust your instincts when it comes to making big decisions. Follow your heart and explain your thought process along the way so loved ones feel in the loop.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, allow others to explain their position before you make an important decision. Outside input can give you a more well-rounded perspective.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, accept others’ offers to help when your schedule fills up.

Simply return the favor when you get the chance, and that’s all the thanks that’s necessary.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a renewed passion for a hobby has motivated you to be more creative. Embrace this newfound vigor, even enlisting others if you so desire.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Embrace a newly presented challenge as an opportunity to hone your skills and illustrate to others your abilitiy to adapt and thrive.

Plan now for possible Medicare savings in 2018

As the weather gets cooler and lines for flu shots form, it’s time to start thinking about 2018 health care options. If you are over 65 or otherwise eligible for Medicare, now is the time to review your coverage and benefits and make decisions about your plan for the coming year.

Medicare Open Enrollment begins October 15 and ends December 7 for enrollment in 2018 plans.

“Making comparisons about Medicare premiums, coverages and prescriptions across plans can be hard which is why we have a dedicated staff here at the Department of Insurance to help,” says Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon.

“The Louisiana Senior Health Insurance Information Program staff and volunteers can help Medicare beneficiaries find out if they are getting the best coverage for their needs and if they are eligible for any extra help with premiums.”

Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) staff is available to help Louisiana residents over the phone, at the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) and at events throughout the state. During the last fiscal year, SHIIP counselors provided services to more than 50,000 Medicare beneficiaries.

SHIIP also has partner organizations all over Louisiana that can help seniors to navigate Medicare.

The Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) has created a stepby-step guide and video series to help Medicare beneficiaries better understand their Medicare coverage options and benefits.

LDI offers the following tips on preparing for 2018 Medicare Open Enrollment: Get in the system and build a profile on the Medicare Plan Finder. You can use the Medicare Plan Finder to create a personalized search to help find the right plan for you. You can also share this profile with your family or a SHIIP counselor for help with selecting a plan.

Review plans to find the one that fits you.

When selecting your Medicare plan, consider your doctors, hospitals, prescriptions, pharmacies and chronic conditions. Your health needs change every year, so you need to review your coverage every year.

Sign up for your plan. Open Enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7 so don’t miss your window to change or select a new plan.

See if you qualify for extra help with Medicare costs. There are programs that can help people who are struggling to pay for their prescriptions and health insurance premiums. Contact SHIIP counselors to see if you’re eligible.

Consumers can contact SHIIP by calling the LDI at 1-800-259-5300 or visiting www.ldi.la.gov/SHIIP.

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd If we don’t learn a lesson from Las Vegas, expect many more shootings

Americans are still trying to make sense of the worst mass shootings in modern day US history.

Using 23 automatic rifles, Stephen Paddock killed 58 innocent human beings and wounded almost 500 others. From his 32nd floor window at a Las Vegas hotel, Paddock needed less than 12 minutes to carry out his carnage of the concertgoers below.

His attack seems to have been well planned.

One constant response we get from politicians and their representatives is, “This is not the time to talk about this.”

Why not?

Citizens in our country have access to weapons of mass destruction. We are passively guilty when we allow politics and politicians to “brush us off” and keep us silent with the words like, “It’s premature to talk about it.”

We need to talk about this!

Tom Ashbrook on the following Tuesday morning radio broadcast, “On Point” on National Public Radio, began his program with these words, “We know that mass shooting has become as regular as rain in America – more than one a day. Think about that. Why are we killing ourselves? And what should we do about it? In the sorrow of Las Vegas, we ask why, and what to do.”

Notice he said, “More than one a day.”

Mass shootings are defined as someone killing more than four people. Mass shootings are so common that the press do not report most of them.

I hate to say this but they have become “our way of life.”

According to David Hemenway, Professor of Health Policy at Harvard, “Since 1970, more Americans have died from guns (including suicides, murders and accidents) than the total of all the Americans who died in all the wars in American history, back to the American Revolution. Every day, 92 Americans die from guns, and American kids are 14 times as likely to die from guns as chil-

Catholic Daughters extends invitation to all Catholic women to join

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas local court invites all practicing Catholic women, ages 18 and over, to join their court.

Annual dues are $25.

The Catholic Daughters are the largest organization of Catholic women in the Americas.

The purpose of the organization is to participate in the religious, charitable and educational Apostolates of the Church.

Catholic Daughters meet at 5:30 p.m. on the Wednesday following the first Saturday of the month at the Spiritual Life Center in Cut Off. For more information call 985-665-7135.

dren in other developed countries.”

We have more gun related deaths than any other developed country!

Why do we have this mess? The answer is: Fear!

The National Rifle Association has managed to distort the defense of the second amendment so powerfully that they have cultivated fear in us. We’ve been fearing our own government.

The NRA says, “They’re coming for your guns, you have to vote for so-and-so.”

It’s very effective and works on people’s fears.

The NRA also provides a huge stream of money that flows into the coffers of our politicians. If they do not vote according to the NRA’s interests, the gun industry can exert power simply by “not giving this

year,” or sponsoring a rival candidate.

This is a huge industry with huge financial interests at stake.

Recently our Congress and President pasted legislation blocking an Obama-era rule designed to keep guns out of the hands of certain mentally disabled people. Now they want to put silencers on guns so we will not hear when people are shot.

What can we do to stop this unnecessary carnage of so many human lives?

1. Outlaw automatic and semiautomatic rifles and machine guns.

These are not necessary for hunting or self-defense.

2. Impose universal background checks for anyone buying a gun.

Four out of five Americans support this measure to prevent criminals

or terrorists from obtaining guns.

3. Impose a minimum age limit of 21 on gun purchases. This is already the law for handgun purchases in many states, and it mirrors the law on buying alcohol.

4. Enforce a ban on possession of guns by anyone suspected of domestic violence.

5. Tighten rules on purchasers for those buying for criminals.

Make serial numbers harder to remove.

6. Adopt microstamping of cartridges so that we can trace them to the gun that fired them.

7. Require safe storage to reduce theft, suicide and accidents by children.

If we cannot learn the lesson from this carnage, we will experience many more shootings.
