Early voting runs this week, ends Saturday

Early voting for the Nov. 18 election continues this week through Saturday, Nov. 11. The ballot will feature a runoff for state treasurer with Republican John Schroder going up against Democrat Derrick Edwards. Schroder is a businessman, former state representative and former law enforcement officer from St. Tammany Parish. Edwards is a New Orleans attorney. This is the first time in 17 y e a r s there hasn’t been an incumbent running for the position. Republican John Kennedy left the job after his election to the U.S. Senate in 2016. Lafourche Parish voters will also see property tax renewals on the ballot. One is a renewal of the 5.41-mill tax for public facilities and services. The tax raises an estimated $5.75 million a year with 31 percent being used for drainage; 51 percent used for public health programs, buildings, services, activities and senior citizen programs; and 18 percent used for libraries. If voters renew the tax, an owner of a $150,000 home will continue to pay $40.50 in property taxes after the homestead exemption is deducted. A 5-mill tax will be up for renewal for Road District No. 1. The tax is estimated to raise around $4.8 million a See Election Page 10-A

Releasing inmates concerns local officials

Commercial and recreational fishermen have a new place to load and unload their boats along Bayou Lafourche in Golden Meadow. Officials and residents marked the opening Monday of the town’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Councilman Daniel Lorraine, who represents the area, said he’s already in talks with state Sen. Norby Chabert, R-Houma, about trying to get state money to add a pier similar to the one in Leeville. The new wharf is actually three — two for recreational fishermen and one for commercial — that will allow boats to stop for a short time to unload people or items. Boats will not be allowed to tie off for extended periods. The project cost about $35,000; money coming from local tax money in the parish’s recreation budget. President Jimmy Cantrelle said the parish is working on a new boat launch in Larose, is planning another in Lockport and will add two more baseball parks in Thibodaux.

Let’s take a stand and not a knee in honor of our veterans Several schools and organizations hosting Veteran’s Day programs By: Wanda Griffin Bolgiano Contributing Writer

We all have different opinions as to why the NFL kneelers are using the sidelines to protest against social injustice. Many of us view it as a disrespectful act against our flag, our National Anthem, the police force and especially our beloved veterans. Veterans Day is commemorated every year on, November 11th since 1919, which marked the first anniversary of the end of World War 1. It was formerly known as Armistice Day. An Armistice is an agreement signed by opposing sides to call a truce. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 to have an annual observance day to pay tribute to those American veterans living or dead who honorably served to protect and defend during war or at peace-

time. It was originally signed on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11 a.m. in the year 1918. During the four-year merciless battle, over 16 million people died with the number of civilian and military casualties estimated to be about 37 million. Many of them died from disease after the war and some of them were never found. Consider all other wars that were fought in the name of protecting our freedoms and how many millions of people that gave their life for those rights we sometimes take for granted. While I understand that our military fights for our right to express our viewpoint whether it is something positive or something negative, many people disagree with the location and the timing of the protests.

many of those items were, in turn, sold at horse events and on Lebouef’s Facebook page. Lebouef was also found to have written out and cashed several association checks, some for thousands of dollars, while failing to provide receipts of where the money was spent. Following an investigation, detectives obtained warrants for her arrest. On Friday, November 3, Lebouef turned herself in at the Lafourche Parish Detention Center in Thibodaux. She was booked on the aforementioned warrants for Felony Theft and Unauthorized Use of an Access Card as Theft. She was released Friday afternoon after posting $5,000 bond.

John Bel Edwards’ Office of Constituent Services’ new program, Constituent Services on the Geaux, is an opportunity for the office to meet with constituents face to face and offer assistance with questions and concerns regarding state agencies.

Raceland woman charged with theft from National Association

Holly “Scooter” Lebouef (age 59), of Raceland, had served as a local district president of Holly Lebouef the National Barrel Horse Association until June 2016, when recently tens of thousands of dollars were found to be unaccounted for. During a recent financial audit, the association found Lebouef held several unsanctioned events, and investigators determined she allegedly used the association’s account to launder money from these events. A review of bank statements showed Lebouef purchased items such as purses, clothing, and accessories using the association’s credit card. Investigators learned

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Hundreds of inmates were able to get early releases from Louisiana prisons and jails last week, a milestone in a push to reduce the nation’s highest incarceration rate. The early release of roughly 1,500 inmates on Nov. 1 was the product of a new package of laws overhauling the state’s criminal justice system. Criminal justice reform advocates have applauded the state’s release of about 2,000 prisoners this month, but some local law enforcement officials aren’t happy and are skeptical about whether the criminal justice reform measures will put a dent in the state’s crime rate. The inmate releases were among the changes in 10 laws that Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards signed in June. Another law requires about $184 million of the estimated $262 million in savings over the next decade be reinvested in services for crime victims and programs designed to keep people from returning to prison.

Nicholls to celebrate Veteran’s Day with celebration in the Quad Nicholls State University invites the public to honor all veterans during a Veterans Day celebration in the Quad on Friday, Nov. 10. Nicholls Veteran Services will hold a public ceremony at 11 a.m. in the Nicholls Quad and veterans will be served a free lunch in the cafeteria. “Veterans Day might be one day of the year but for those who served, it is a yearround deal,” said Gilberto Burbante, veteran and coordinator of Veterans Services at Nicholls. “I say that because, for anyone who has laced up their boots, thrown on a rucksack and carried a rifle in a far-off land, we are constantly thinking about not only our own experiences and sacrifices but also about the young guy or girl who will now leave their own mark on our veteran legacy.” This year’s guest speaker is Chris Castillo, who served with the Third Battalion Fourth Marines as part of the First Marine Division from 2002-2006. He served in Iraq during Operations Vigilant Resolve, Trojan Horse and

Phantom Fury. The New Orleans resident has been recognized for his successful transition to civilian life by GI Jobs Magazine. He now runs Chris Castillo Films, a video production company. Nicholls president Dr. Bruce Murphy, who retired as a Lt. Col. from the U.S. Army, will also speak. Thibodaux JROTC will present the colors and the Nicholls chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia will sing the national anthem. Nicholls has earned the “Governor’s Military and Veteran Friendly Campus” designation and has consistently been named a “Military Friendly School” by G.I. Jobs magazine. “Our country’s veterans have given so much it’s important that those acts of valor, sacrifice and selflessness are acknowledged and Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to thank all generations of Veterans and hopefully encourages the younger generation to answer the call against tyranny, oppression and terror,” Burbante said.

Louisiana From 1-A

Louisiana spends approximately $700 million annually on correctional costs. The measures are projected to reduce the state’s prison population by up to 10 percent over 10 years. Louisiana, which now has the nation’s highest incarceration rate, could lose that status by the end of 2018, according to the governor’s office. State Rep. Tanner Magee, a Republican who sponsored one of the bills, said the changes were patterned after laws enacted in other Southern states, including Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina and Texas “We didn’t come up with this whole cloth,” Magee said. “It’s a proven model.” However, local officials say they are not entirely convinced. Of the roughly 2,000 inmates released last week, 63 were convicted for crimes in Terrebonne Parish, 27 in Lafourche, local officials said. In Terrebonne, at least 50 had prior felony convictions and several have violent criminal histories, parish First Assistant District Attorney Jason Dagate said. The list also includes inmates convicted for their fourth, fifth or even sixth DWIs. “They’re going to be paroled to my knowledge without receiving real treatment prior to their release,” Dagate said. “So considering that, this is concerning because the law does not take into account the entire picture and totality of circumstances surrounding these cases or individuals. The judge or prosecutor would have assessed a number of factors prior to a sentence being imposed on these cases, but this law now retroactively allows for the early release for some of these repeat offenders with little or no treatment.” Kristine Russell, interim district attorney in Lafourche, said she supports criminal justice reform, but simply releasing inmates is not the answer to reduce the incarceration rate. “The premise is to take nonviolent offenders and release them from jail because we have such a high incarceration rate,” Russell said. “Some of the nonviolent offenders who have drug problems are not getting the tools they need to survive once they’re let out. So I expect we’re going to have a high recidivism rate. I think we need to go deeper into the problem and address what the underlying issue is before we just release them.” For instance, she said, the state should invest in programs that treat mental health and addiction. However, state officials said most of the inmates who walked out of prison and jail Nov. 1 were scheduled to be released in about 60 days anyway. Under the new law, nonviolent offenders are eligible for “good time” release after serving 35 percent of their sentence — down from 40 percent before the change, which is retroactive. State corrections secretary James LeBlanc said he’s confident “public safety is going to be enhanced” by the legislative changes, including the prisoner releases. “We’re all afraid one of these guys is going to

do something wrong, but, from my perspective, I can’t overreact to those kinds of things. I have to stay the course here, because I know it’s going to work,” he said. About 82 percent are being released from parish jails; the rest are coming from state prisons. LeBlanc said his department is reviewing each inmate’s file prior to release and has circulated the list to sheriffs and district attorneys. “If they have concerns, they have my cellphone number,” LeBlanc said. Peter Scharf, a criminologist at the LSU School of Public Health and Justice, is a proponent of the governor’s efforts to change the state’s criminal justice system. The inmates who were released this month have been carefully vetted and screened, Scharf said. “Our incarceration rate was three or four times higher than the rest of the country,” Scharf said. “What the governor has done is good policy because it saves money. The cost of incarcerating people sucks blood out of every other social program. In addition, it will reunite people with their families. It puts them back into jobs to earn salaries and pay taxes. So the fiscal impact should be very strong.”

The efforts’ success will hinge heavily on reentry programs that help former inmates develop work training and other skills to allow them to get back on their feet, Scharf said. Money saved from the criminal justice reform efforts can be used to bolster such programs. “I really think history will look kindly at this,” Scharf said.

Veterans From 1-A

The sideline is not the time or the place for making a political statement! Prior to the presentation of the American flag and the singing of the National Anthem, the announcer comes on the public-address system and states to the fans, “Please stand, remove your hats and place your right hand over your heart in honor of our military and our law enforcement.” That is their recognition time and not a time for protesting social injustice, police brutality or what the president tweeted out that day. If they wanted to get people talking, that is what they did, only it isn’t a good conversation. They could always take a knee at the end of the game if they really wanted. They choose the wrong time.

Getting A Retirement Plan Distribution?

If you attend a game and you are talking, playing with your cell phone, walking to buy a cold drink or just finding your seat in the stadium and you hear the announcer, please stop what you are doing, face the flag at attention and think about how much you enjoy doing the little things in our great country that other countries do not allow their citizens to do, because they don’t have a free society. We can enjoy the simple things in life freely because of an American warrior who bolted into the path of enemy gunfire, stormed the beaches of Normandy, rode the mighty waves at sea, or flew directly into the skies of blinding explosions. Many of these unsung heroes returned home inside a flagdraped casket. Some were prisoners of war and some never came home at all. Some that are returning do so without arms and legs. Every warm bloodied American has a pride filled heart, especially when we see Old Glory whipping in the wind. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave for a million special

Trojans fall short of the playoffs in a thriller; Tarpons earn home game

Central Lafourche knew it needed to beat Thibodaux to get into the Class 5A State Playoffs. But when it was all said and done, the Trojans finished about 20 yards short. Thibodaux beat Central Lafourche 23-16 in a thriller – a game that went down to the wire and featured several big plays from both teams. The Trojans got the football late at their own 20-yard-line and matriculated it to the Tigers’ 20-yard-line with just eight seconds left. On the final play from scrimmage, quarterback Jacob Barker was looking for David Robinson in the end zone, but was hit before he could throw the football, which forced a fumble and a Tigers’ recovery as time expired – sealing a victory for Thibodaux. After the game, the teams shook hands and then gathered together for a multi-team prayer. Coaches on both sides said it was one of the best games they’d ever been a part of. Thibodaux moves on to the playoffs in the win, while Central Lafourche ends its season with a 3-7 record – one win short of an 11th game. “It was a great game,” Central Lafourche coach Keith Menard said. “Both teams left it all out on the field. Unfortunately, we’ve just been one of those teams that seems

to get on the wrong ends of games like this too often this year. I couldn’t be prouder of our kids. They don’t know how to quit. We battled, but give credit to Thibodaux. They made the big plays at the end to get the win.” The first half of Friday’s game was played almost at a snail’s pace. That’s exactly what the Trojans wanted. Central Lafourche played a ball control offense, limiting possessions in the game to keep Thibodaux’s dynamic offense off the field. The Trojans had three first half possessions to the Tigers’ two. But despite several long, lengthy drives, Central Lafourche consistently stalled out when it got close to the end zone, which allowed Thibodaux to take a 6-3 lead into halftime. “I knew going into halftime that we needed a little more than three points and that that’d probably come back to bite us a little bit,” Menard said. In the second half, the points started to come in bunches. The Tigers scored a touchdown early in the third quarter on a run by quarterback DeMarcus Mitchell which put Thibodaux ahead 13-3. On the ensuing kickoff, Robinson worked his magic, taking the football 87-yards to the house for a touchdown to trim the lead to 13-9.

The Tigers finished scoring in the third quarter with a 43-yard field goal from Brandon Cone which put them up 16-9 – a lead which held until the fourth quarter when the Trojans came storming back with a touchdown pass to Zane Robichaux to tie the game at 16-all early in the fourth quarter. But the tie didn’t last long. The Tigers drove down the field and took a 23-16 lead on a touchdown run from Tanner Guillot with 9:32 left in the game, which set the stage for the dramatic finish. The Trojans got the football back one last time with 40 seconds left and pushed it 60 yards down the field before the fumble which ended the game. Menard said that his team got that far shows their grit. “We were on our side of the field and we got all the way down there in hardly no time at all,” Menard said. “That shows a lot about our kids. They always fight.” The loss ends the Trojans’ season. Thibodaux advanced into the playoffs as the No. 31 seed. They will play No. 2 Covington on Friday. ___

Tarpons lose but still host in Round 1

South Lafourche knew a win against East St. John would guarantee themselves a home playoff game. A loss meant the Tarpons would be at mercy of the power rankings math. The numbers fell in South Lafourche’s favor. The Tarpons fell 408 to East St. John on Friday, surrendering several big plays and chunks of yardage in the loss. South Lafourche ends its regular season with a 6-4 record. But the Tarpons will enter the playoffs as the No. 15 seed. They will likely host No. 18 Tioga on Friday, pending final numbers from the LHSAA. “I wasn’t happy with our effort,” Tarpon coach Blake Forsythe said. “I think we knew we were in the playoffs and we were just satisfied to be there and didn’t give enough of an effort to better ourselves. We will get back home, get back

to work and get ourselves ready for a big football game on Friday night.” The Wildcats dominated throughout. They struck first three minutes into the game on a deep pass from Dasmian Crosby to Shelvin Keller which put the Cats up 60 early in the game. The Tarpons had chances throughout the first half, driving into East St. John territory on several drives. But for every door that opened, the Wildcats slammed it closed, stopping the Tarpons at each turn to take a 27-0 lead into halftime. The big blows came from a pass from Crosby just before halftime and a pick-six the Wildcats got on a play deep in their own territory with the Tarpons looking to score. In the third quarter, the Wildcats scored first on a deep pass which made the game 33-0. The Tarpons got their lone points defensively in the second half when Jacob Danos hit the Wildcats’ quarterback in his own end zone and forced a fumble, which Drake Billiot fell on for a touchdown. Jake Galjour rushed into the end zone on the 2-point conversion to make the game 33-8. The Wildcats added a late score, which pushed the game to its final margin.

No. 17 Colonels close home slate with thrilling win over HBU From Nicholls Sports

THIBODAUX, La. – After HBU tied the game with 23 seconds remaining, sophomore Chase Fourcade floated a pass down the sideline to freshman Dai’Jean Dixon for a 44-yard touchdown as time expired, lifting the No. 17 Nicholls State University football team to a 23-17 victory Saturday at Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium. Starting at midfield, the Colonels ran two plays to set up the game-winning pass. With 5.3 seconds on the clock, Fourcade scrambled out of the pocket and escaped one tackler before firing the ball downfield to Dixon, who juggled the ball at the 20 before hauling it in and sprinting into the end zone for the victory. “I am so proud of this team. I told them in the locker room that good teams find a way to win, and that’s exactly what we did,” said Nicholls head coach Tim Rebowe. “The defense played lights out in the second half and held them (HBU) to a field goal right there at the end of the game. We overcame so many things in the game, from penalties to touchdowns called back, to turnovers. I mean stuff we have to fix and clean up, but I thought our guys fought and stayed in there. The way they came back and won it at the end, I am just very, very proud of them.” The thrilling win put a stamp on the Colonels’ undefeated season at home with a 5-0 record, marking just the third time in program history a team went unbeaten at Guidry Stadium. The victory was also the fifth straight for the Red and Gray, improving their record to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the Southland. Sophomore Dontrell Taylor racked up his second 100-yard game of the season, finishing with 103 yards on 24 carries. Taylor scored the first touchdown of

the day for Nicholls, diving in on a 3-yard rush for a 15-14 lead to start the fourth quarter. The next two points came courtesy of the defense, which tallied five sacks in the win. After Nicholls failed to get a two-point conversion on Taylor’s touchdown, Marcel Andry, one of 16 seniors playing in their final home game, sacked HBU’s Bailey Zappe in the end zone for a 17-14 lead. HBU’s Alec Chadwick misfired on a 51yard field goal that would have tied the game, but the Colonels could not extend the lead as Lorran Fonseca missed a 46-yarder with 1:19 to go. Fonseca connected on three field goals earlier in the game for Nicholls, including a career-long 50-yarder. Nicholls looked to have put the game away when Ahmani Martin recorded the defense’s second interception of the quarter, but linebacker Hezekiah White was flagged for roughing the passer and was ejected for targeting. Zappe left the game with an injury, but backup quarterback Jack Swensen scrambled for 16 yards, setting up a 50yard field goal by Chadwick to tie the game. The Colonels and Huskies were destined for a second-straight overtime matchup, as last year’s went into double OT, before Mason Roberts returned a squib kick 24 yards to midfield.

Nicholls From 5-A

Fourcade dumped a pass toÂ Kyran IrvinÂ for eight yards, called a timeout, and an incompletion paved the way for the final play of the night.

LSU looks for strong finish, 1st 10-win season since 2013 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; LSU is entering an important three-game stretch for first-year coach Ed Orgeron and the man who hired him, athletic director Joe Alleva. While a loss at No. 1 Alabama last weekend dropped the Tigers out of the AP Top 25 and virtually ended hopes of a Southeastern Conference championship, a strong run to close out the season could engender considerable confidence in the direction of the program. A 10-win season and one of the more attractive non-College Football Playoff bowls remain in reach for LSU (6-3, 3-2) in Orgeronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full season at the helm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to prepare well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what led us to playing so well vs. Alabama,â&#x20AC;? LSU inside linebacker Devin White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to keep doing that to go to a good bowl game and end the season on a good note.â&#x20AC;? While LSU lost 24-10 to the Crimson Tide, the game was competitive deep into the fourth quarter and the Tigers exceeded the expectations of oddsmakers, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d listed them as three-touchdown underdogs. LSU also finished with statistical advantages in total yards, time of possession and first downs while forcing eight Alabama punts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited about this football team. I enjoyed the way they held their heads up after the game,â&#x20AC;? Orgeron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just a couple of plays from beating Alabama. Are we where we want to be? No. Are we making progress? Yes.â&#x20AC;? If the Tigers finish 62 in the SEC, it would represent their best league mark since 2012. A bowl victory after that would give LSU 10 victories in a campaign for the first time since 2013. History does not favor the Tigers winning out, but the remaining strength of schedule might. LSU hosts Arkansas on Saturday, travels to Tennessee the following week and closes the regular season at home against Texas A&M on Thanksgiving weekend. Arkansas and Tennessee are 1-9 combined vs. SEC opponents, while the Aggies are 3-3 in the league. Only twice in the past five seasons did the Tigers not lose another regular-season game after being beaten by Al-

abama. In 2014 and 2015, Arkansas whipped LSU the week after a loss to Alabama. In 2014, the Razorbacks ended a long SEC losing streak with a 17-0 victory. In 2015, the Hogs pounded the Tigers 31-14 in Baton Rouge. Orgeron made a huge statement in his quest for gaining the permanent head coaching job last November when LSU crushed Arkansas 38-10. For the first time in three years, there was

no Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; letdown following a loss to Alabama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our challenge this week is the 24-hour rule,â&#x20AC;? Orgeron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is similar to last year where we were coming off a tough loss to Alabama. The strength staff brought extra energy last year this week. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the last game allor-nothing. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bounce back well and with confidence.â&#x20AC;? While Orgeron replaced starting quarterback Danny Etling with

freshman Myles Brennan for the last series of the Alabama game, the coach did not forecast a change at starting QB. Etling was 12 of 26 passing. He made some clutch passes on third down but also struggled to connect with open receivers deep down field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the balls could have been caught,â&#x20AC;? Orgeron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On some of the throws, the timing could have been better. Danny was a little bit off. See LSU Page 10-A

A motion was made by Commissioner Bellanger, seconded by Commissioner Besson, and unanimously agreed to approve the minutes of the special meeting held on October 5, 2017 as read. Mr. Joe Chauvin from GIS Engineering gave the following report: 1. He spoke about assisting with the Capital Outlay request for the levee board. A joint motion was made by the commissioners to hire GIS Engineering to apply for Capital Outlay on behalf of the levee board. The continuation of the breakwaters on the north side will be the first priority and Fifi Island breakwaters will be the second priority. 2. A boat ride is needed for the Bayou Thunder breakwater. GIS is waiting on the alignment to apply for a permit for these breakwaters. 3. On the bayside permit - The COE put our permit on public notice and if no one comments the permit should be issued the beginning of November. Joint motion was made by the commissioners of the levee district to authorize Low Land Construction Company to fix some spots on the emergency levee that is holding water by placing pipes and flap gates. President Camardelle stated that he has been working with GIS Engineers on the Capital Outlay Projects for the upcoming year.

Mr. Camardelle thanked the town, Senator Alario, Representative Gisclair, Jefferson Parish EOC, Jefferson Parish Council Members Templet and Roberts, Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni, Lafitte Mayor Tim Kerner, the Governor, and CPRA for being in contact with us to help with whatever we needed to help with Hurricane Preparedness. Mr. Camardelle stated that he is working on continuing the segmented rock breakwaters on the north side of Grand Isle. When we receive any funding we will build as many as the money will allow. We have to build in the water and then build a levee on the land to help to save Grand Isle from tidal conditions. We are unique because all other levee boards just build levees.
