Deputies will conduct the annual Blue Light Special patrol on Halloween in order to help keep trick-or-treaters safe. More than 100 deputies will patrol the streets of Lafourche Parish neighborhoods beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31. This patrol will continue through the peak hours of trick-or-treating until at least 8:30 p.m. and will continue as deemed necessary. Deputies will patrol with emergency lights activated to remind motorists to drive slowly and exercise extreme caution as children take to the streets.

“Our deputies will patrol every neighborhood throughout the parish to ensure safety for trickor-treaters and residents,” said Sheriff Webre. “We encourage adults to keep a close watch on children they are supervising, and report any incidents or suspicious activity to nearby patrolling deputies or by calling the Sheriff’s Office directly.”

See Council Page 3-A

With several Halloween-related events planned throughout Lafourche Parish over the next two weeks, Sheriff Webre offers these additional Halloween safety tips for residents: Make your child’s costume distinguishable and safe. Ensure your child can easily walk in the costume and that the fabric is flame retardant. Use glow bracelets/sticks, reflective tape and flashlights. With store-bought costumes, change or add something to make your child distinguishable from others.

Maintain proper supervision for your children.

We strongly urge parents to supervise their own children. If you must entrust your child to another adult, obtain up-to-date contact information. If they are headed out with a group, make sure there is a buddy system in place.

As Parish Council debates go, Tuesday’s words between Golden Meadow Mayor Joey Bouziga and Parish Councilman Daniel Lorraine were little more than some rough “sparring” between two men who obviously dislike each other.

Truth be told, other past Council meeting square-offs have been far worse, such as when Councilman Jerry Jones and Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle take sides over treatment of parish employees.

But as the debate unfolded on Tuesday, it was obvious such dislike in a political setting will hurt only the constituents of the “partners” who are at odds.

“You’re gonna make the people of Golden Meadow suffer because you don’t like me?” asked Bouziga of Lorraine, referring to his repeated request for the parish to make good on a 2014 pledge of $100,000 to help the Town of Golden Meadow pay a portion of the cost of the Phase III Golden Meadow Seawall Project.

THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — Once a staple of Cajun living, the pirogue has evolved into a novelty item, largely replaced by plastic kayaks that can be purchased at outdoors stores and big-box retailers.

“Everyone had a pirogue at one time, and a lot of people still do,” said Tom Butler, director of the Center for Traditional Louisiana Boat Building in Lockport.

But one thing he and others agree on is the wooden, flat-bottom boats are not as common and essential to south Louisiana living as they once were.

Browse photos of Terrebonne and Lafourche’s bayou communities from the 1950s and earlier and you’ll likely to find one or more pirogues, which locals used for hunting, fishing, fur trapping and basic transportation.

Coast, are believed to have adapted the boat from the dugout canoes Native Americans built from bald cypress.

The traditional pirogue, about 12-14 feet long, was designed to get around the shallow waters of south Louisiana’s swamps and marshes. Its light weight made it easy for someone to carry and paddle.

Lots of locals built pirogues in their backyards, a practice that has also dwindled.

“As time passed, people got away from trapping, and the pirogues have been handed down from generation to generation, and, like you see, most of them end up here because nobody wants to deal with them anymore, no one wants to take care of them,” said Ernie Savoie, resident boat builder at the center in Lockport.

Savoie, who comes from a family of carpenters, said his father taught him skills passed from generation to generation.

Pirogues From 1-A

Pirogues are bulkier and more high-maintenance compared to other small boats, he said, so people often get rid of them.

‘It’s a treasure’ “People just inherit them into their lives and they don’t know what they have,” Savoie said.

“They don’t know the treasure they’re giving away. To me, it’s a treasure.”

Marvin Autin, a carpenter from Cut Off, began trapping furs in high school to make money, using a pirogue after school to navigate the marshes and bayous near his home. He grew up watching his father, George Autin, and his uncle, Alfred Autin, make pirogues in the garage, not realizing he was learning how to build them himself.

When trapping season was over, Alfred and George Autin would get on a boat with a Model T engine and poke the bottom of Lake Salvador for sunken cypress logs.

They would drag the logs they found onto land, make dugouts and sell them for about $45 a piece.

“And they still have logs in that lake, it would just be to find them,” Savoie said.

Cutting them down A big blow to the pirogue came in the 1920s, when logging companies cut down most of south Louisiana’s old growth cypress, leaving only the younger trees, which are not as good for making dugouts.

Archival lumber company film footage posted to YouTube shows loggers in pirogues chopping down some of the giant Louisiana cypress trees once used to build the boats.

The quality difference between a pirogue made with virgin cypress and one made with younger wood, also called grobeck cypress, is striking, builders said.

Autin’s cousin, Paul Autin Jr., owns a pirogue that’s more than 150 years old, hand-carved by his great-great-great grandfather, Olivier Charpentier. Despite its age, the boat was used for more than a century and was retired from the water about 40 years ago.

To recreate a vessel of such quality would cost too much money because of the effort it would take to find a wood that wouldn’t rot in four or five years, Martin Autin said.

“It is financially unfeasible to try and sell one built like this. Someone would probably give $1,500 for this, just to have it,” Autin said.

“When my uncle was making this, he could make them and sell them for $100 at that time, where if he had to go make this now, he might of have to charge $500 at the time or $600. Right now, I wouldn’t make one of these dugouts for $2,000 because I could go make that easier in carpentry work.”

‘No more big trees’ In the late 1950s, after the lumber business had depleted almost all of the old cypress, the plank pirogue emerged, made out of marine plywood.

“The dugout pirogue is dead because there’s no more big trees available, but there are so many different types of boats people can make,” Butler said.

When Autin was 20, his father died, and he

created a pattern off his father’s pirogue and built two for himself in two days. It cost $250 to build the two boats in the early 1980s; he kept the first for himself and sold the second for $250.

“I just recalled what they did. They was talking in French putting it together and all, and when I grew up, the memory just kicked in and I built it, and I sold a few,” Autin said. “We were desperate poor. I wanted a boat to trap. Don’t ask me who showed me how to build; it was just in my blood.”

Autin said he sold five more pirogues but never let his first touch the water.

“It’s been up in the garage all this time,” Autin said. “I want to try one day to put it in.”

‘A big difference’ Autin stopped building the boats once fiberglass pirogues were introduced in the 1980s because he couldn’t compete against their low cost. He plans to build pirogues again once he retires, but for now he carves push poles.

“A lot of people are still using them — don’t get me wrong — but there’s a big difference since I grew up,” Autin said. “When I was growing up, every kid had a pirogue down here.”

Also a recent addition to the small-boat market is the kayak, which, Butler said, has gained popularity in south Louisiana because people are realizing it works well in the marsh and may even be safer.

“You can turn one over and still survive,” Butler said. “If you turn over a pirogue in the marsh and the grass, you might drown if you don’t know how to swim.”

From February 2015 to February 2016, recreational kayak sales rose 21 percent across the country, according to global information company The NPD. Kayaks are ready-made and drastically cheaper; Walmart sells some models for less than $200.

Nonetheless, Butler said he has seen steady interest among locals who want to learn how to build pirogues. Savoie estimates that since he’s been at the center, he’s taught 10-11 people.

“Traditional boat building is still alive,” Butler said. “There’s still a need for it.”

but by the end of the discussion Lorraine changed course and told the Mayor “I don’t appreciate you doing what you did” for sending the letter to Lafont.

But most odd was Cantrelle’s statement that in several phone conversations Bouziga never mentioned what the money was for.

“Joey, you never told me it was for a seawall project. You only said $100,000,” Cantrelle said.

But if Cantrelle didn’t know what the money was for, how did he know what line item to search for in the budget?

And if, as Cantrelle admitted, he sought out Lorraine’s advice, how did he not know what the money was for, since Bouziga said Lorraine attended Town meetings when the problem was discussed?

The project was first listed in the 2015 budget under “Project Code 15033—Seawall Flood Protection”, and again in 2016.

It has disappeared from subsequent budgets on the parish’s government website, although Internal Auditor Reggie Bagala showed a screenshot of the MUNIS (parish management software) site which records budget items and shows the 15033 amount in all budgets since 2015.

“We looked for it too and so far haven’t found it. I will research it again and see if it’s there and we’ll do what we have to do,” said Cantrelle.

The Seawall Project Phase III was designed to reinforce the seawall in Golden Meadow, keeping it from falling into Bayou Lafourche.

By FEMA guidelines for the grant, the Town had to share about $350,000 of the cost of the $1.4 million project.

At the time, Bouziga asked the Greater Lafourche Port Commission, the South Lafourche Levee District and Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph

for help.

Randolph agreed to kick in the $100,000 now in question.

But since 2015, that money still hasn’t been paid.

Lorraine says Lafont and others didn’t stay abreast of the line item in budgets after 2016. Lafont and others like Bagala say it is still there.

Sounds like “Yankee Canal Levee Improvements” all over again, doesn’t it?

“I’m not gonna kiss you,” replied Lorraine.

Throughout words about whether the $100,000 is in the budget or not, it was sometimes hard to figure out who is actually running the parish—Lorraine or Cantrelle.

“If you would have come to ME, you would have gotten your money by now,” said Lorraine to Bouziga.

While Cantrelle could not find any proof of the money being in parish capital outlay coffers, Lorraine debated protocol in Bouziga sending his request letter to Councilman Jerry Lafont instead of the person in whose district the Town rests.

“I represent the Town of Golden Meadow, but the Mayor can go to who he wants. That doesn’t bother me a bit,” said Lorraine.

“How can I go to you when you won’t talk to me?” asked Bouziga.

Lorraine at first said he didn’t care who Bouziga sought for help,

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Don’t get caught up in too much gossip, as it can only negatively impact your relationships. Take the higher ground whenever possible and you will stay above the fray.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It is impossible to change the past unless you have a time machine, Taurus. Instead of dwelling on what should’ve been, make new things happen for the better.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, take a fresh approach to a problem that has been puzzling you. A new perspective might be just the thing you need to crack this nut and move forward.

Pierce

From 1-A

and was also a player with Larose Youth Basketball for 8 years. Julia has also assisted in setting up Wild Game Supper as well as being a server during the event for the past several years. Along with her family, Julia has also volunteered in several booths including the Hot Dog Stand and the Boucherie Stand where her Dad is still an active volunteer.

Julia comes from a long line of civic center volunteers, including her grandparents, Loraine and Rufus Pierce who started helping at the 1978 Bouillabase Festival (which later became today’s French Food Festival) and continue through today with Mrs. Loraine still making sweets and her famous Bouille tarts for the senior citizen’s festival sweet shop. Mrs. Loraine also served as a Bayou Civic Club Board Member, worked for the Lafourche Parish Council on Aging and served as the Senior Citizen’s manager for a time. She also inducted into the Bayou Civic Club Hall of Fame in 1996 and was a festival booth chair manning the Hot Dog Stand with her family including children and grandchildren. Julia’s father, Mr. Mark Pierce, for many years, has helped in the park, cooking for Wild Game Supper and happily helping with more French Food Festivals as he can count. He and his wife, Jody, began helping with his family’s Hot Dog Stand, later moving to the Boucherie Stand, with the Trosclair family, where he still cooks today. Mr. Mark and his brother, Mr. Steve Pierce and his brother in law Mr. Rocky Dozar (posthumously) in were all inducted into the Bayou Civic Club

Julia’s best festival food is the pork routee, she also loves her Dad, Mark’s, gratons and she loves the cool Octobers, when Mr. Bob Faulk, makes his special corn soup! Her favorite thing about French Food Festival is “that the whole community comes together to have a great time!”

Julia invites everyone to join her on October 27, 28 and 29th at the 44th Annual French Food Festival.

Halloween From 1-A

Stay off your smart phone. Adults should be ever-vigilant while supervising children, and no one should be walking along the roadside while looking down or distracted.

Inspect all treats collected. Discard anything that is not sealed, has torn packaging, looks questionable, or may be a choking hazard.

Talk to your children about safety. Remind them to walk (don’t run) on sidewalks or near the edge of the roadway – never in the center and always facing traffic. Remind them to stay in front of residences giving out candy and NEVER enter a residence. Have a plan for in case you and your child get separated.

Everyone should also prepare their homes for trick-or-treaters.

Clear sidewalks and pathways of any obstacles, and put away anything children could trip over such as hoses, toys, or yard decorations.

Turn on your lights so your property is well-lit, and replace any burnt bulbs prior to Halloween. Secure any pets so that they will not at-

Motorists are encouraged to keep travel to a minimum on Halloween night due to a high number of pedestrians on neighborhood streets. “If you must be on the road, please drive slowly and be alert for children, especially in residential areas,” said Sheriff Webre. “Eliminate all driving distractions so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.”

What a Life!

Sunday, October 29, 2017 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd

Understanding the cultural setting is essential for interpreting the meaning of a parable

Jesus parables often need an explanation to understand their true meaning. The parable of the King inviting people to his son’s wedding feast is a good example. After the invited guests refused to come, some even abused his servants, the king invites the street people to take part. When the king meets his guest, he finds a person not wearing a wedding garment.

He then has this street person bound and thrown out into the darkness. The story makes the king, and God by analogy, look like some type of monster. Let us reflect on the clothing problem.

The movie, As Good As It Gets, contains a scene that used to be much more common than it is today. Jack Nicholsons’ character goes to a restaurant and is told that they cannot serve him without a coat and tie. As many restaurants used to do, they offered him a loaner for the evening. This was often done to preserve the decorum that the other customers had come to expect.

In Jesus day a similar custom was in place.

The host provided a wedding garment for the guest who did not have one. Again, this was to preserve the decorum that went with these kinds of celebrations.

God, the eternal party-giver, has an atmosphere in mind that he wants to preserve. His is to be a kingdom of love and peace. It is a king-

dom where people accept each other without drawing lines of separation; it’s a place where forgiveness is the rule, and the virtues Jesus displayed are the way of life. Just as the restaurant owner provides what the guest needs to fit in, so God gives us what we need to wear as people invited to the kingdom.

The required “robe” that God expects of everyone in his kingdom is a behavior befitting someone who claims Jesus as their Lord. It is not enough to claim to follow Christ. Our actions must speak louder than our words.

When we were baptized, we were given a garment as a sign that we were clothed in Christ.

We were wrapped up in him. Have we integrated Christs teaching into the whole of our lives? Do we wear Christ’s garment with pride?

When we bury someone in the Catholic Church, we drape a white cloth over the casket to remind everyone that this person is clothed in Christ. He or she is wearing the wedding garment of the Lord. At times a veteran’s family wants the American flag to be on the coffin instead of the Christ garment. At the time of death, people are not thinking clearly.

to appear before the throne of God wearing the garment of their country, instead of the garment of Christ?

This story did not begin with the guest who did not dress properly. It began with the would-be guests who never became guests for all sorts reasons they thought were good. The underlying message of the would-be guests is always the same: “They have something better to do.”

God is still inviting people to the wedding.

Weddings are about relationship and love. They are about trust and commitment. They are about oneness. The problem is that oneness does not sell well in a world addicted to separation. Trust does not gain acceptance from people who live in fear or behind walls. Commitment does not make sense to a world that demands instant perfection from everyone except them. Even an invitation to relationship and love is not inviting to those more concerned about “what’s in it for me.”

“Are we ready individually, as a nation, as a culture, as a church to accept the invitation that God is still holding out to us? Are we ready to answer “yes?” Are we ready to clothe ourselves in Christ’s garment?
