As part of a slate of projects approved for funding by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) Task Force, Ducks Unlimited will begin engineering and design for the North Catfish Lake Project to build more than 400 acres of marsh and nourish an additional 200 acres near Golden Meadow.

Tariffs stirring fear at many US points of entry for imports

To understand why the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs could be felt throughout the United States, consider this: From the West Coast to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, at least 10 percent of imports at many ports could be hit by new tariffs if Trump’s proposals take full effect, according to an exclusive analysis of government data by The Associated Press.

Ports and ground terminals in nearly every state handle goods that are now or will likely soon be covered by import tariffs. And port officials fear this could mean a slowdown in shipping that would have ripple effects on truckers and others whose jobs depend on trade.

Since March, the U.S. has applied new tariffs of up to 25 percent on nearly $85 billion worth of steel and aluminum and various Chinese products, mostly goods used in manufacturing.

“Tariffs are working big time,” Trump tweeted recently.

President Trump- If hell freezes over

By Glenn Mollette Guest Columnist

President Donald Trump came through Evansville, Indiana like a roaring locomotive last week, August 30, to be exact. If he had landed on the platform wearing a Superman outfit and cape I would not have been surprised. To the approximate 15,000 cheering fans he might as well have been Superman, aka, Super President.

I didn’t even know The President was coming to Indiana until the day before and figured I would not get inside the gate. I was reading on the Internet that I had to have a ticket and thus filled out the form to receive the electronic text I was supposed to receive.

I filled it out a couple of times and even made a donation. I eventually realized that filling out the form was all about getting my information and a donation.

The doors to the seven o’clock speech were promised to open at 4:00 at the Ford Arena in downtown Evansville. My wife and I got there about 4:30 and found a parking space several blocks away and began the hike to the arena. The line at 4:30 was massive - literally thousands were lined up for what seemed to be a mile or more.

We couldn’t even find the end of the line it was so long. We knew at this point that even entering the arena was already impossible.

We found a hotel lobby and got out of the summer heat. Fortunately the local television was glued to the events and so we watched Trump get off Air Force One from our hotel lobby and began his high security limo ride to the Ford Center.

A few minutes later we walked out of the hotel lobby and lo and behold motorcycled policemen were everywhere escorting the black limo into a tent adjacent to the Ford center. There was our President but not in plain view as they pulled into the heavily guarded tent that would provide a passageway to the Old National Events Plaza and the Ford Center.

My wife and I enjoyed the dynamics of the parade, secret service people everywhere and the hoopla around our President’s arrival and figured this would be our evening. As we left the hotel we could see the end of the line in the distance and figured we would get in line and walk with the crowd back to our car. The line was moving and we stayed with it for an hour and luckily made it inside the arena. Behind us literally a couple of thousand more had gotten in line by the time we got to the arena door.

Once we were barely inside the arena there were zero seats to be found. The arena for a concert seats 11,000 people. We felt crammed in like sardines by the time we found a place to stand and it was obvious an extra thousand or so people above the seating limit were standing in

the corners, aisles and everywhere else.

We found a standing place on the second level of the arena that was filled with secret service and state police. We were allowed to remain in our little standing place with our backs against a wall but we had great platform visibility.

President Trump came onto the platform approximately at 7:15 to cheers and thunderous applause. I saw one woman escorted out for acting out of order and heard one negative person against Trump as we stood in line. I am told a couple of hundred protesters were out by the courthouse but I did not see or hear them.

Parts of Trump’s speech have been replayed numerous times on various cable networks so there is no need to rehash his remarks.

Here is what I can say from what I saw in Evansville. The only way Trump will be defeated in 2020 will be for hell to freeze over. There is no person on the horizon that will swing the 12,000 people in the Ford arena last week to not vote for Trump. They are going to vote for him.

This goes not count the two or three thousand people who were standing outside the arena watching him on a screen.

While I was standing in line I did not hear one rude comment. I did not see any crazy behavior from the crowd. Inside the arena people were respectful, attentive but obviously resolved in their support and cheers for Donald Trump.

Yes, there are all kinds of bad things that have been said and will be said about Trump. I cannot determine what is and what is not true. I know that a few of my acquaintances, friends,

old time buddies, and maybe even a family member or two hate his guts. However, I also know what I saw in Evansville and that is a very sincere, determined group of people who will line up on Election Day and reelect him as

America’s President in 2020...unless hell freezes over and then anything might happen.

LSU tweaks admissions policy, to lessen test score emphasis

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana State University is relaxing a longstanding policy of automatically rejecting applicants who score too low on standardized college entrance exams like the ACT and SAT. Jason Droddy, an LSU vice president and executive director of policy, told The Advocate that the university won’t disqualify outright for a test score. Instead, the state’s flagship university will boost emphasis on recommendation letters, personal essays and activities outside academia.

Droddy says standardized test scores have proven not to be a good indicator of predicting college success, particularly for low-income students, minority students or students with learning disabilities.

The average ACT score for incoming LSU freshmen last year was 26, higher than the 19.6 average score statewide.

For decades, LSU has rejected any applicant who scored below 22, without looking at anything else.

Court, which diverts nonviolent offenders from the traditional court system into one geared toward treating their underlying drug problem through addiction counseling.

“If somebody is not accepted into that program then that doesn’t mean that they don’t have problems with drugs,” Matherne said.

“That means they have a series of other factors that prohibit them from going into that specific program. But while we have jail, we still want to be able to reach them.”

The cost for the new programming measures is included in the 0.2 percent sales tax passed in 2014 to pay for the new facility. Matherne said the cost-savings from no longer having to send inmates out-ofparish will make up for the slight increase of cost for programming.

“We’re hoping to avoid those long term convictions (and) long term prison stays,” Matherne said.

The jail’s grand opening ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 28, and inmates are slated to be relocated from the existing jail to the new facility from Dec. 1 to Dec. 2.

President From 1-A

That six-month waiting period is almost over for Cantrelle’s first nomination for finance director, Lionel Lagarde Jr. Cantrelle said he plans to ask the council for an extra week to make his finance nomination so he can nominate Lagarde again.

“You’re not going to find a better fix for the Finance Department than Lionel Lagarde,” Cantrelle said.

That nomination is currently due Sept. 22.

Cantrelle said if the council doesn’t agree to extend the deadline, he would “nominate someone who’s not qualified then change it.”

He also noted that the parish charter does not have a clear penalty if he doesn’t make the nomination within 60 days.

“It’s hard to put someone through the same thing again,” Cantrelle said.

When Lagarde was first nominated for the

Congrats Kylie on your new car ... Marcie Dufrene

position in April, the council delayed the vote for a few days and called a special meeting. Only six council members were present, with Councilman James Bourgeois being removed from the meeting before the vote due to a restraining order against him. The nomination failed by a 4-2 vote, with five votes needed to pass. Bourgeois said later that he would have supported the nomination had he been present.

“It’s getting harder and harder to find someone,” Cantrelle said. “No one is going to quit their job to work for year and a few months.”

As the council formed a charter revision committee earlier this year, Cantrelle said the committee should consider a change requiring the council to cite cause when it fires any department head or administrator. As the charter stands now, the council can remove a department head by the vote of a supermajority.

With these matters coming up for a vote soon, Cantrelle said, he hopes the administration and council can work together.

“People are fed up; I’m fed up,” he said.

As next year’s election approaches, Cantrelle said he’s still undecided about whether he will seek a second term.

He said three factors will help him decide: his relationship with the Parish Council, a poll he plans to conduct on the election’s potential outcome and the fate of the garbage sales tax.

“And if my health holds up,” Cantrelle said.

Project

From 1-A

U.S. Senator John Breaux, who helped initiate the legislation in 1990 along with U. S. Senator J. Bennett Johnson.

“Senator Breaux was a visionary who understood the national, regional and local importance of Louisiana’s rapidly disappearing coastal wetlands,” DU Director of Conservation Programs Mike Carloss said.

CWPPRA is designed to identify, prepare and fund construction of coastal wetlands restoration projects.

Since its inception, CWPPRA has designated between $30 and $80 million annually for work in Louisiana.

“Ducks Unlimited has been diligently working to restore coastal wetlands in Louisiana for more than 30 years, and we are honored to team up with our long-term partners at the NRCS to deliver this project,” Carloss said.

Once engineering and design are completed, the project will be eligible for Phase 2 funding, which would include construction and implementation costs.

The CWPPRA Task Force is comprised of one member each from five federal agencies and the state of Louisiana.

The federal agencies include the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, NRCS, National Marine Fisheries Services, Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Louisiana’s governor’s office represents the state on the Task Force.

“NRCS and DU have a mutual interest to conserve, protect and enhance Louisiana’s coastal wetland ecosystems,” said Britt Paul,

assistant state conservationist for Water Resources at NRCS in Louisiana. “DU is currently designing and implementing a similar coastal restoration project adjacent to the North Catfish Lake project area that will create synergy between the two projects, which is advantageous to NRCS as well as the CWPPRA program.”

As the most imperiled and important wintering area for waterfowl on the continent, coastal Louisiana is one of Ducks Unlimited’s highest priorities. Coastal restoration has tremendous benefits for fisheries, other wildlife, and the people who live here.

Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America’s continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 14 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent.

Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever. For more information, visit www.ducks.org.

Tariffs

From 1-A

The president has argued that the tariffs will help protect American workers and force U.S. trading partners to change rules that the president insists are unfair to the United States.

At the same time, his administration is preparing to slap tariffs of up to 25 percent on an additional $200 billion in Chinese imports — many of them parts and materials U.S. companies depend on, along with consumer goods.

These tariffs are the administration’s response to its charges that Beijing uses predatory tactics to try to supplant U.S. technological supremacy. Those tactics include cyber-theft and a requirement that American companies hand over trade secrets in exchange for access to China’s market.

U.S. manufacturers are beginning to respond to the tariffs. Ford recently announced that it has abandoned plans to import a crossover version of its Focus compact car from China to the U.S. because of tariffs that took effect in July. Ford has already said it will exit most of the U.S. car business as it shifts sharply toward trucks and SUVs. In New Orleans, port officials say a tariff-related drop in shipments is real, not merely a forecast. Steel imports there have declined more than 25 percent from a year ago, according to the port’s chief commercial officer, Robert Landry.

The port is scouting for other commodities it can import. But expectations appear to be low.

“In our business, steel is the ideal commodity,” Landry said.

“It’s big, it’s heavy, we charge by the ton so it pays well. You never find anything that pays as well as steel does.”

The port of Milwaukee imports steel from Europe and ships out agricultural products from the Midwest. Steel imports haven’t dropped yet because they are under long-term contracts, said the port director, Adam Schlicht.

But there has been “an almost immediate halt” in outbound shipments of corn because of retaliatory duties imposed by the European Union on American products.

Much of the corn, he said, “is just staying in silos. They are filled to the brim.”

Many other ports have been humming along and even enjoyed

an unexpected bump in imports during June and July as U.S. businesses moved up orders to ship before the new tariffs took effect. That started with manufacturing goods and is now spreading to retail items for back-to-school and Christmas.

“Some of my retail customers are forwardshipping the best they can to offset proposed tariffs,” says Peter Schneider, executive vice president of T.G.S. Transportation, a trucking company in Fresno, California.

Port officials were encouraged by the recent announcement that the United States and Mexico had reached a preliminary agreement to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, hoping it might lead to reduced trade barriers. Canada’s participation in any new deal to replace NAFTA, though, remains a major question mark.

The port officials continue to worry, though, that Trump will make good on a plan to expand tariffs to an additional $200 billion in Chinese imports — a list that includes fish and other foods, furniture, carpets, tires, rain jackets and hundreds of additional items. Tariffs would make those items costlier in the United States. And if Americans buy fewer of those goods, it would likely lead to fewer container ships steaming into U.S. ports.

The impact will be felt keenly at West Coast ports like Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Los Angeles Mayor

Sunday, September 9, 2018 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

Eric Garcetti, relying on information from his port officials, said his port — the biggest in the United States — could suffer a 20 percent drop in volume if the additional $200 billion in tariffs are imposed against Chinese goods.

Jock O’Connell, an economist in California who studies trade, said he doubts a downturn would be so severe — that would match the slump that accompanied the global recession of 2008 — “but we will see a definite impact.”

Here are some of the key findings from the AP analysis: — U.S. tariffs will cover goods that are imported at more than 250 seaports, airports and ground terminals in 48 states.

— At 18 of 43 customs districts — including those representing ports around Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans and Houston — at least 10 percent of their total import value could be covered by new tariffs if all Trump’s proposals take effect.

— Retaliatory duties

by China and other countries cover $27 billion in U.S. exports.

Eugene Seroka, executive director of the Los Angeles port, worries that “if tariffs make it too expensive to import, there will be an impact on jobs.”

Seroka and others don’t expect layoffs on the docks. Union longshoremen — whose average pay last year on the West Coast was $163,000, according to the Pacific Maritime Association, which negotiates for the ports — often

3-A

have contract provisions ensuring that they are paid even if there’s no work. And there are fewer of them than there were a few decades ago because the advent of shipping containers has reduced the need for people on the docks.

Dwayne Boudreaux, an International Longshoremen’s Association official in Louisiana, said, though, that his stevedores are handling about 10 percent less steel from Japan because of the new tariffs.

“We don’t think it’s going to (get) worse,” he said. But, he added, “who knows — that could change from the next press conference.”

On top of the $200 billion in additional Chinese imports that could face U.S. tariffs, Trump has said that if Beijing continues to retaliate, he may eventually slap tariffs on, all told, $450 billion in Chinese goods.

That would be equal to nearly 90 percent of China’s 2017 exports to the U.S. Trade wars are usually temporary. President George W. Bush abandoned his steel tariffs after less than two years.

Milwaukee’s port director worries, however, that damage from the current trade dispute could linger. Canada is increasing corn exports to Europe, and Brazil is trying to pick up the slack in soybean exports to China.

“Others are already picking up that business,” Schlicht said. ___ AP data journalist Larry Fenn in New York contributed to this report.

LUCILLE GILLENWATER

Lucille “Frenchie” Gillenwater, 94, of Arcola, IL passed away at 8:02 a.m. on Friday, August 31, 2018 at Carriage Crossing in Arcola, IL. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Monday, September 3, 2018 at the Edwards Funeral Home, 221 East Main St., Arcola, IL. Pastor Steven Stern officiated.

Burial followed in the Arcola Cemetery. Visitation was held two hours prior to the funeral from 9 to 11 a.m. on Monday, September 3, 2018 at the funeral home.

Frenchie was born on March 1, 1924 in Golden Meadow, LA and was the daughter of Aramis Martin and Angelina Angelette. She met her husband, Elvin Gillenwater, while she was employed at Fort Polk in Leesville, LA. They were married there on September 16, 1944. Upon Elvin’s discharge from the Army in 1945, they settled in Illinois around Charleston and eventually in Arcola where they farmed and raised a family.

There they lived out the remainder of their lives. Elvin passed away on June 19, 1986.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two sisters, Lucia St. Pierre and Bertha Williams, both of Louisiana; four brothers, Uderick, Lindberg, and Clarence Martin, all of Louisiana, and Stanley Martin of Alabama; and one grandson, Clint Gillenwater of Champaign, IL. She is survived by a daughter, Lynn Pace and her husband Tap of Troy, VA; a son, Andrew Gillenwater of Mattoon, IL; two grandchildren, Ryan Bourgeois and his wife Kasey of Bremo Bluff, VA and Sasha Hunt and her husband Blake of Tuscola, IL; five great-grandchildren, Joseph Pace of Troy, VA, Nathaniel and Annabelle Bourgeois and Lily and Karly Miller all of Bremo Bluff, VA; and a brother, Lincoln Martin of Galliano, LA. Much of her time as a widow was spent volunteering for Catholic Charities in Mattoon, at the Arcola Food Pantry and delivering Meals on Wheels. Gardening vegetables and flowers were a source of joy for her along with travel that included every state and many different countries. She was a dedicated member of the First Baptist Church in Arcola where she was a custodian for many years. Line-dancing was a special interest and she performed on a regular basis with a linedancing group from Mattoon until age 88.

She loved being with people and kept her car and the road very busy and always used to joke that the epitaph she wanted on her headstone was “finally ran out of gas”.

Frenchie was a wonderful cook and loved having family around her kitchen table. Being able to spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was very special times for her.

At age 90 she became a resident of Carriage Crossing Assisted Living Facility in Arcola.

Memorials are suggested to the First Baptist Church of Arcola or the Arcola Food Pantry.

Online condolences to the family may be posted on www.edwardsfh.net.

MARK LYNN POTTER July 4, 1961 – Aug. 27, 2018

Mark Lynn Potter, beloved husband and father, age 57, passed away on August 27, 2018 in Thailand while on a business trip. Mark was born in Alexandria, Louisiana on July 4, 1961 and was raised mostly in South Louisiana in Galliano.

He is survived by his wife Catherine Kliebert Potter and children, Kimberly Potter Martin (husband Myles) and Stephanie Potter Martin (husband Mason); his brothers, Delane Potter and Delynn Potter (Amy), and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Marvin Louis Potter (died 1984) and Yvonne Racine Potter Ammons (died 2017), his older brother Marvin Potter, Jr. and younger sister Kimberly Potter, both who died as children.

Mark went to Louisiana State University and Sam Houston State University where he graduated with honors in Climatology and Geography.

Upon their marriage, Mark and Cathy moved from Louisiana to Conroe, Texas, where Cathy started to work for Shell Oil Company and Mark continued his studies.

Although Mark continued his passion for weather and earth, soon after graduating Mark was employed at Dr. Stephen Tucker’s Dermatology practice. They developed new skin care products and ultimately formed two companies, Atlantis Laboratories Inc. and Stephen Marcus Inc. Mark eventually became the sole owner of Atlantis Laboratories building a research, development, and manufacturing facility.

Through his creativity and passion, he became a celebrated, world renowned, award winning skin care chemist, who created products that are distributed across the globe. He has appeared in several major magazines for his approach to skin care and numerous topselling products.

In addition, Mark also had a passion for music and produced several songs, with the primary artist, Linda Gail Lewis (sister of Jerry Lee Lewis).

Mark’s other interests included spending time with family and friends, listening to music, genealogy, art collecting, restoring antique cars, LSU sports, Acadian culture, and traveling (he has visited all 50 states and six continents).

The wake will be held at Forest Park Funeral Home, 18000 I-45S, The Woodlands, TX from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, September 9th and the Funeral Mass at 11 a.m. on Monday, September 10th at St. Simon & Jude Catholic Church, 26777 Glen Loch Dr., The Woodlands, TX.

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Sen. McCain left us a legacy of how to be a public servant with integrity

We buried Senator John McCain this past weekend but his spirit and legacy continues to inspire us. He was a man of integrity who spoke out for what he believed was in the best interest of the American people.

We might not agree with every position he supported, but we have to admire him for standing up for his beliefs even if they went against again his party’s stance of various issues.

In his farewell statement, he shows us true Christian values – humility for making mistakes, gratitude for the many blessings he received, a peacemaker urging us to put aside tribal rivalries that have produced violence and hatred, plus advocating liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people, and being a man of hope urging us to go through these difficult times.

The full text of his farewell message is printed below in case you missed it.

“My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans, thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.

“I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth.

I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful. Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.

“I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine.

And I owe it to America.

To be connected to America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people – brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures. Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves. “‘Fellow Americans – that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American.

We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world.

Foster or Adopt

You can make a difference in the life of a child.

We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.

“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.

“We are 325 million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in
