More budget cuts, special session worries ahead in Louisiana By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards and Louisiana’s lawmakers didn’t need to wait for Christmas to get the lump of coal in their stockings. They already knew about the financial headaches they’ll have to tackle in 2017. Cuts still have to be made to rebalance this year’s more than $27 billion state operating budget, with the threat that a special legislative session may be needed to fill all the holes. Forecasts also suggest Louisiana likely won’t have enough money to continue all its existing programs and services in the next budget year. CUTS ON THE HORIZON Louisiana’s newest budget gap is expected to be formally recognized in See Budget Page 5-A

It’s that time of year again when the pop, pop, boom, boom of fireworks can be heard and expected.

Analysis: 2016 brought case studies in when not to use a gun By KEVIN McGILL, Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In 2016, criminal cases that played out in New Orleans courtrooms drew national attention while providing lesson material for anyone hoping to drive home the point that sometimes a gun is best left holstered or at home. January brought the trial of Trung Le, who had found himself in a Bourbon Street gunfight a year-and-a-half earlier. Prosecutors say he had been summoned by friends in the French Quarter after somebody stole their marijuana. He brought a gun with him. It was never entirely clear what sparked the exchange of gunfire with a stranger on Bourbon. Le escaped unscathed and the other shooter has never been found,

but bullets hit 10 people — many of them visitors guilty of nothing more than enjoying the city’s boozy nightlife. One young woman died. The jury didn’t buy the defense claim that Le was a hero who saved his own life and those of his friends. The 23-year-old Le is now doing 60 years. Cardell Hayes’ trial came at year’s end. He hasn’t been sentenced yet but New Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro has made it plain he’ll be pushing, again, for a 60-year sentence for the death of former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith and the wounding of Smith’s wife on a night in April. Smith had apparently lightly bumped Hayes’ Hummer that night and Hayes, moments later, ran into the back of Smith’s Mercedes SUV. See Gun Page 5-A

NLLD Lockport to Larose Reach D2 Project moving ahead of schedule

The North Lafourche Levee District’s Lockport to Larose Reach D2 Project includes major levee maintenance and the re-sectioning of the levees from the Larose Pump Station on the Intracoastal Waterway heading west parallel to Bayou Lafourche toward Valentine for approximately 1.05 miles. Womack & Sons Construction Group, Inc. is ahead of schedule on the project, with 73% of the construction completde. Cost of the project is being shared by the NLLD and the LA Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.

The Lafourche Parish district attorney is asking the state Board of Ethics to review malfeasance, bribery and extortion allegations against Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle after he could find no criminal wrongdoing. District Attorney Cam Morvant II also determined that a former finance and human resources director violated civil service procedure and may have left the parish vulnerable Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle to a lawsuit by placing an employee on a random drug screen list without authority to handle the employee’s file. Morvant submitted two letters Wednesday to the Parish Council, Cantrelle, Parish Administrator Reggie Bagala and Council Clerk Carleen Babin. The letters were provided to The Courier and Daily Comet last Thursday evening. One letter includes information from interviews with Cantrelle, Bagala and parish Public Works Director James Barnes. See DA Page 7-A

Former Houma resident shares dad’s letters from WWII in book By KEVINISHA WALKER The Courier

HOUMA, La. (AP) — In December 1943, when Carole Cotton Winn was 6 months old, her father, W.D. Cotton, was overseas serving as a first lieutenant in the Army Officers’ Reserve Corps during World War II. While Cotton made his way through England, Belgium and Germany, he wrote letters to his “darling” wife and daughter every night. One, written on Christmas Eve in 1943, arrived with a picture of a mother looking over the crib of a sleeping baby with a soldier’s portrait on the side table, an image that resembled the Cottons’ experience. It was the first Christmas W.D. had been separated from his wife, See Book Page 7-A

Waiting at the cross street for the light to change, he noticed a beautiful blond standing next to him smiling. “What do you have in your pocket?” she asked. “Tennis ball,” the man said smiling back. “Wow,” said the blonde looking upset, “That must hurt. I once had tennis elbow and the pain was unbearable!”

Practical Money Matters

How to turn monetary gifts into teachable moments Children and teenagers who received monetary gifts for the holidays are often excited to choose what to buy. While they should be allowed to spend some of the money or gift cards, as a parent, you could also use these windfall gains as an opportunity to teach and practice important personal finance lessons. Here are a few ideas to start with, although you can alter the message or subject matter to match your child’s experience and ability to understand the topic. Create money goals together. Planning how your child will save or spend monetary gifts is a valuable skill and practice no matter their age. (If you don’t have a personal plan, this is a great opportunity to set an example by developing your financial path as well.) You can start by drawing three columns — spending, saving and giving — and having them write a few goals for each. Explain the difference and importance of long- and short-term goals, and the value of having an emergency fund (for kids this could help pay for a car repair or bike tire). Set priorities and discuss the big picture. Have them add up all they received and divide it into each column. Offer guidance to help them determine how much to put into saving and charity, taking the time to explain your reasoning. They’ll likely find that there isn’t enough money to make a significant impact on all their goals and they’ll need to prioritize based on how important each goal is to them. Share your own experiences and how sometimes it’s better to save for a bigger and better purchase later. You could also have them calculate how expected earnings from allowance, working or upcoming holidays or birthdays could help them achieve their unrealized goals. Decide where to store the savings. If they don’t already have one, it might be a good time to open a bank account with your children. Go over the differences between a checking and savings account and how they can store the money they received and earn. Your kids can then decide how to split their funds between checking and savings based on their goals. Gift cards can pose a challenge, particularly if they’re store-specific cards. Children who receive them can’t deposit them at the bank, and they should take this into account as they determine which priorities they can meet and which may need to wait. However, there are online marketplaces where they can buy and sell gift cards. How much they’ll pay

and receive depends on the marketplace and the store — an example of supply and demand in action. Comparison shop before making a purchase. No doubt children are going to want to spend some of the money right away. It offers an excellent opportunity to discuss the importance of comparison shopping. Comparing prices at various retailers can help them find a good deal, and they should also consider several alternative but similar purchases. Being able to figure out what best fits one’s needs, wants and budget is an important skill at any age. Discuss the time value of money and importance of saving wisely. Older children might be ready to learn about the time value of money, the idea that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future. You could discuss how inflation can decrease the purchasing power of money over time. Older children might be able to think of examples, and you can reinforce the point with images of old advertisements for 5cent soda or gum. The next step might be to discuss the importance of saving and investing and how compound interest could potentially offset or supersede the effects of inflation. Perhaps conclude by touching on opportunity costs, the trade-offs that come from every decision. Bottom line: You can’t force behaviors, but you can use teaching moments to explain and practice valuable money management skills. The holidays are a great opportunity as many children receive gift cards or money, and these lessons can continue throughout the year. Try to reflect the skills and practices you’re teaching in your day to day life as well. Children can pick up on the non-verbal lessons you demonstrate as much as the explicit lessons you sit down and teach.

Letters and Opinions Councilman attempts to clarify “facts” about Leeville

I am writing this letter in response to Janet Rhodus’ Letter to the Editor in the Lafourche Gazette on December 18, 2016. I will address all of her letter with facts not promises. Rhodus is not a registered voter of Lafourche. She claims she is a taxpayer. She is right, after getting a copy of her taxes through public record request, she pays $249.10 on her house below Golden Meadow. The reason is that State Law requires you $75,000 homestead exemption only for one dwelling. She has a house in Baton Rouge. She claims I have been in office for 30 years, (try 34 years), and that I let Leeville wash away. Ms. Rhodus doesn’t even know the boundaries of Leeville. I’m assuming only Leeville is washing away? The first thing I was able to do when elected in 1983 was put Leeville on the map and gave them regular trash pickups. I also worked with the Leeville Ladies Auxiliary, which at the time had about 20 hardworking ladies. Most of them are deceased today. Together we were able to get a place

for the senior citizens and also get a playground park built. They had many Christmas parties and dinners at this location, which was off LA 1, across from the Texaco Field Office. As you know, we lost the Senior Citizens’ trailer and park due to a hurricane. We also have a fire station in Leeville that she was not aware of. This station was damaged by Hurricane Katrina and stayed idle, but was repaired and now has two pumpers at the station. That’s what you get when you don’t know boundaries. I’m proud to say that we have a station at Fourchon and Leeville, thanks to Fire District #3 and taxpayers. They do an excellent job. Ms. Rhodus says I built the Lafourche Parish Public Boat Launch. I never said that. I am a leader, not a doer. The boat launch was built with $500,000 from Wallop Breaux Fund; $450,000 from Lafourche Parish Council; $250,000 from the Greater Lafourche Port Commission; and $0 from Launch Leeville 501c (3) non-profit. If you go to her blog on Launch Leeville, she tries to make people believe she got the boat launch built. See Letter Page 3-A

January meeting set to discuss flood spending plans

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Plans for spending more than $1billion in newly approved federal flood recovery money will be discussed at a Jan. 6 meeting of the Restore Louisiana Task Force. U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro announced Friday that Louisiana would receive more than $1.2 billion — part of a disaster relief package approved by Congress earlier this month. Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a news release that federal rules require the state to present a plan to HUD before the money can be spent. He said he and the Louisiana congressional delegation worked to secure the money. It’s in addition to $438 million earmarked for Louisiana in September. Edwards said the money doesn’t cover all of the state’s needs but marks a “significant milestone in our recovery.” ___

Police bearing gifts save holiday for Louisiana boy, 7

GRETNA, La. (AP) — After burglars made off with gifts from under the Christmas tree at a home in the New Orleans suburb of Gretna, police did more than just investigate. Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Deputies and Gretna police got together and bought replacements for 7year-old Armon Dixon. Dixon’s mother, Montreal Dixon, told New Or-

leans TV stations she got home from a party Thursday night to find that her home had been burglarized: Presents under the tree were gone and two TVs were stolen from upstairs rooms. Investigators believe more than $1,000 worth of items were taken. “As soon as I walked into my house, that’s the first thing I noticed, the presents not underneath the tree,” the mother told WVUE-TV. “I just freaked out and I started crying. I didn’t even go upstairs yet, I just sat down on my sofa and I started crying. So I went upstairs and I didn’t see his TV or my TV,” Dixon said. She said she didn’t have the time or the money to replace the gifts. On Christmas Eve, deputies and police officers showed up with a car full of wrapped replacements. Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office Chaplain Alex Bellow said the gifts included video games, TVs and other items. “Nobody forced their hand. Nobody asked them, ‘Hey can you do this for this family?’ They decided upon themselves to take it and do it for this family, which is just outstanding,” Gretna Police Lt. Chris Tapi told WDSU-TV. ___

Mother arrested after dumping newborn baby in store trash

NEW ROADS, La. (AP) — A woman is in custody after authorities say she gave birth in a Walmart bathroom, then dumped the newborn in a trash can before leaving the store. WBRZ-TV reports New Roads police arrested 34year-old Kyandrea Thomas at about noon Saturday after she checked into Lane Memorial Hospital in Zachary. She faces an attempted second-degree murder charge. Around 8 p.m. Friday, police and firefighters responded to reports of an unresponsive baby left in a store’s bathroom. Firefighters performed CPR on the girl before rushing her to Pointe Coupee General Hospital. Doctors say the infant was transported to Our Lady of The Lake Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge and is improving. Lt. Shael Stringer reminds desperate parents that under the state’s safe haven law babies can be dropped off at hospitals, police or fire stations with no questions asked. Thomas was also arrested in 2009 on a negligent homicide charge after leaving a young child in a hot car.

Legislative conference, event trips costs $98K since session

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Legislature has spent at least $98,000 for lawmakers to travel to conferences and meet with colleagues in other states since they wrapped up their legislative sessions this year. Thirty-five of 105 House members and 13 of 39 senators traveled to Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, Arkansas and elsewhere during the summer and fall. Lawmakers went to meetings of the Southern Legislative Conference in Lexington, Kentucky; the National Conference of State Legislatures in Chicago; the Energy Council in New Orleans; the Southern Regional Education Board in Little Rock; and the National Conference of Insurance Legislators in Portland, Oregon, among others. Data provided by the Legislature showed the trips cost the House $64,000 and the Senate $34,000 for items like airfare and hotel rooms and the daily per diem paid to lawmakers. ___

US rig count up 16 this week to 653; Oklahoma adds 6

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 16 this week to 653. A year ago, 700 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have curtailed exploration, although the rig count has been rising in recent weeks. Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 523 rigs sought oil and 129 ex-

plored for natural gas this week. One was listed as miscellaneous. Oklahoma gained six rigs, Texas gained four, Alaska increased by three and Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wyoming each added one. West Virginia declined by two and Arkansas lost one. California, Kansas and Utah were unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404. ___

Substitute teacher accused of sex with 3 boys, aged 15-16

HOUMA, La. (AP) — Houma police say a 30year-old substitute teacher is accused of having sex with three 15- and 16year-old boys at her home. The Courier reports that Heidi Domangue was arrested on three counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and one of indecent behavior with a juvenile, and her bond is set at $50,000. The newspaper says Domangue’s family members declined to comment and the Terrebonne Parish schools superintendent did not return calls. A woman whose 15year-old son was involved told the newspaper the other boys are a cousin and a friend of his. The woman says she learned about the case from police. Her name was withheld to protect her son. The clerk of court’s office was closed Friday, so it was not clear whether Domangue has an attorney.

Letter From 2-A

Also, we had money from Senator Chabert, $500,000, to build a handicapped fishing pier and pavilion. Charlotte Randolph, our previous Parish President, did not act on this and, due to budget crunches with the new governor, we went from $500,000 to $300,000 to $100,000 to $0. I went looking for the money and the Lafourche Parish Government put up $166,000; the Greater Lafourche Port Commission put up $166,000; and the Tourist Commission put up $42,000. I had to go back to the Lafourche Parish Council and get another $100,000. We are now within budget and you shall see construction soon. Where was Rhodus and Launch Leeville’s money? She also says she received a project from CWPPRA for $45 million. I thank you Ms. Rhodus. There were 10 projects nominated, so they put Rhodus’ project but it never made it to first base. It will probably never happen. Instead of being happy with the First International Kayak Hobie 6 Fishing Rodeo, she was very negative. They had 16 countries that participated in this rodeo and the reason she was not happy, she could not get them to locate where she wanted them to be, Leeville. She was disappointed that they did not take her advice. She also put down the Tourist Commission claiming they could not do anything right. For the first ever fishing rodeo held at the public

launch, I thought they did the best they could. She also claims I did nothing to clean up the area. Well I did not clean up the area. The prisoners did, through the help of Sheriff Webre, and the Region D Barn, through the help of Jimmy Cantrelle. I also stayed in touch with Jerome Danos to get the garbage picked up daily. Where were you Janet? Rhodus also claimed she wrote up a bill to form the Leeville Commission. Well this is a five-member board put together by Sen. Chabert and Rep. Gisclair. Rhodus was appointed to the board by the Lt. Governor and she resigned at their first meeting. In closing, I would like to offer Ms. Rhodus that I will pay her property taxes if she moves out of District 9. I also wrote this letter and the one before.

Budget

From 1-A

January, when the state’s income forecasting panel puts a dollar figure on a shortfall from the current 2016-17 fiscal year that began July 1. It will be the state’s 15th midyear budget gap in nine years, as some years have been so riddled with problems that financial holes emerged multiple times. The latest shortfall is expected to reach around $300 million, as tax collections and other sources of state revenue continue to come in lower than projected amid a downslide in Louisiana’s economy and an unemployment rate that is third in the nation. “I think our recovery’s likely going to be very slow,” said the Legislature’s chief economist, Greg Albrecht. Against the wishes of the Edwards administra-

tion, the Revenue Estimating Conference delayed its official shrinking of the state’s income forecast until next month. When the downgrade happens, the governor and lawmakers will have to make budget rebalancing decisions within a month. That means deep budget cuts are likely coming in February. “We’re going to be having very painful, difficult decisions,” said Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne, the governor’s chief budget adviser. As always, health care services and public colleges are most at risk to cuts because they have the largest unprotected pools of state financing. Dardenne also said the Edwards administration will propose to tap into the state’s “rainy day” fund for $119 million to offset part of whatever shortfall emerges. CUTS ALREADY MADE Before the holidays,

lawmakers reached a compromise with the governor to close a $313 million deficit left from the financial year that ended June 30. The budget-rebalancing plan used savings from hiring and spending freezes and reshuffled available dollars to fill the gap. Most statewide elected officials were spared cuts, as were the transportation, prisons and tourism agencies. Reductions hit the education, veterans affairs and public safety departments, along with the governor’s executive department. Nearly half the deficit was closed by postponing $152 million in payments to health providers that care for Medicaid patients until next year. Louisiana’s colleges took one of the bigger hits, a $12 million cut, but it was less than originally proposed by the governor. Lawmakers successfully pushed to shrink the reduction, though colleges could again be on the chopping block in the next round of slashing. SPECIAL SESSION POSSIBLE When the Revenue Estimating Conference downgrades the state’s income projections for this year, the governor and the joint House and Senate budget committee have a monthlong window to rebalance the state’s spending plans. If they can’t reach a deal in that window of time, the missed deadline forces a special legislative session. But even if lawmakers and the Edwards administration can agree on a plan, that doesn’t entirely rule out the possibility of a special session. If the governor and the joint budget committee max out on cuts they’re allowed to make under the constitution and a gap remains, a special session would be required to finish rebalancing the budget.

Lawmakers on the House Appropriations Committee have asked agencies to draw up budget cut scenarios by mid-January, ranking their programs in order of importance and offering a list of proposed program and service eliminations. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Gun

From 1-A

The defense insists that was an accident, and that Hayes was following Smith to get a license number and notify police. Nevertheless, tempers flared, muscles flexed and bullets flew. Hayes, the father of a 6-year-old, has no serious criminal record to speak of. And there’s no indication that he carried the gun in his car for anything other than self-defense. But his self-defense claim in Smith’s killing didn’t wash. He insisted that an angry and drunk Smith was the aggressor and that he only fired after he saw Smith take a gun from the Mercedes and heard what sounded like a gunshot. A pathologist’s report confirmed that Smith was intoxicated, and witnesses said he was loud and angry. But there was no evidence Smith ever touched the gun hidden in his car. Prosecutors believe he may have been going for it after Hayes started firing

Wednesday, December 28, 2016 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

— begging the question of how well he would have fired it and who else might have been hit, given Smith’s high blood-alcohol level. Cases involving questionable firearms decisions weren’t limited to civilians. The year also brought an end to six drawn out criminal cases arising from the shooting deaths of two people at the hands of New Orleans police on the Danziger Bridge amid the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Four ex-cops pleaded guilty in April in connection with the actual shootings. Another April guilty plea came then from a cover-up participant and the final plea, in November, came from another involved in the cover-up. Sentences ranged from probation to 12 years. There was a year-end post-script this month when lawsuits were settled between the city and sur-

vivors of the Danziger tragedy, as well as the shooting by police of an unarmed Henry Glover, also amid the post-Katrina mess of 2005. The settlements were announced at a ceremony involving police, survivors of the violence and relatives of the victims. City officials spoke about the reforms that followed the tragedies. There were prayers and words of forgiveness, all seeming especially appropriate, coming as they did in the Season of Hope. But the gun violence continues. There was another multiple-shooting on Bourbon Street last month with one dead and nine hurt. The question remains: Is anyone learning any lessons? ___ EDITORS NOTE: Kevin McGill is an Associated Press reporter in New Orleans.

From 1-A

Bagala said Cantrelle had him call council members Armand Autin and Luci Sposito and say Cantrelle would propose certain health insurance provisions if they would support raises for two employees and a change in two employee assignments. In another letter, Morvant discusses the council’s request for him to determine if activities related to the parish’s drug testing policy were criminal. He says from what he can tell, civil service procedure violations and possibly a civil rights violation occurred regarding an employee’s drug screen. CLAIMS AGAINST CANTRELLE Bagala reported that on Nov. 15, he, Barnes and Cantrelle met with Parish Councilmen Jerry Jones, Corey Perillioux and Armand Autin and Accounting Manager Renita Jackson to discuss parish health insurance. The agreement was that Cantrelle would submit the same provider and agent, but employee contributions would increase by 5 percent. Cantrelle reportedly went to Bagala’s office the next day, said he wasn’t happy about “giving in and not getting anything in return” and asked Bagala to call the council members and tell them Cantrelle would submit the current insurance with the 5 percent increase. In return, they should agree to a $5,000 raise for Deputy Communications Director Caroline Eschette, a $3,000 raise for Plans and Permits Director Tony Breaux and a position

switch for Eschette and Communications Director Doug Cheramie. Bagala said he asked if Cantrelle was sure that’s what he wanted him to do, and Cantrelle said yes. But after speaking with Sposito and then Autin, he told Cantrelle he was uncomfortable making the calls and would not make any more. In his interview, which supports Bagala’s statement, Barnes said he went to Bagala’s office and was invited in as the above conversations took place. He said Cantrelle used the term “bargaining chips” in making his request to Bagala and that Bagala asked at least twice if Cantrelle was sure that’s what he wanted him to do. “Barnes says he’s not sure how it was determined which council members to call, but he says Jimmy said he wanted enough to get a majority,” Morvant writes in the letter. According to the letter, Cantrelle said he was in the room at the time but didn’t tell Bagala to discuss raises when making the calls. “He says that all he wanted from the council members was a ‘yes or no’ on the insurance,” Morvant writes. Sposito emailed Morvant Dec. 5 asking for an ethics opinion. At the council’s Dec. 13 meeting, Jones proposed requesting an investigation from the district attorney, and it was approved. “I hope Jimmy Cantrelle will sit down at the table at the council and start from scratch,” Jones said of the letter. “The morale of the employees is so low right now.

you have people who’d rather work than go sit down at a Christmas luncheon, something’s wrong. Mend the fence with your employees, mend the fence with the council. Everything’s laid out. Move from there, correct the problem and move forward. Get it right, or resign.” SIGNS OF WRONGDOING In a phone interview Friday, Morvant said malfeasance doesn’t stand alone as a crime and another criminal act would have to have been committed. He said officials regularly bargain with one another and he doesn’t believe Cantrelle’s actions constituted bribery. “If it becomes personal, it’s a different story,” he said. “I did not look at this as being anything personal for the parish president.” Sposito said she understands negotiations may be held over projects like ditches and roads, but talks involving health care and raises didn’t seem normal or appropriate to her. She said she never wanted to have to vote for Cantrelle to be investigated, but she did for the people she represents. As an elected official, she said, Cantrelle must fulfill his promise to the voters who trusted him to do the right thing. Autin, who voted against asking Morvant to investigate the claims, said he didn’t know when the matter was brought before the council that it had anything to do with him. If he had known, he said, he likely would have argued more aggressively for the issue to be dropped because he didn’t see any wrongdoing. “At no point in time did I feel there was bribery,” he said. “I was never promised anything. I was not bribed. I hope that we all grow from this. A lot of times things will come up on the agenda and we don’t have the full story. There had been so many different accusations made on so many different people that I thought it was another false alarm.” Regardless of the Board of Ethics’ decision, he said, the administration and council must still work together, and he hopes they can eventually put the matter to rest. Bagala did not respond to voicemail and Facebook messages asking for comment. Cantrelle and Barnes declined to comment. DRUG TESTING WOES Morvant does not mention Tommy Lasseigne by name in his letter, but says a finance and human resources director purposefully placed an employee on the random drug screen list. Lasseigne last held that position. The director was not authorized to handle the employee’s file but still made decisions regarding the employee, Morvant says. Months later, a memorandum was produced purporting to give the director status as the employee’s appointing authority. “Neither the civil service director nor the parish administrator were given a copy of this memorandum at the time it was allegedly generated and were not even aware of its existence until months later,” Morvant writes. “While these violations of civil service procedure are certainly troubling and potentially have exposed the parish to civil litigation regarding the employee at issue, it does not appear as though any criminal laws were violated in this instance.” The council approved Carrel Hymel III’s appointment as finance director at its Nov. 22 meeting. The human resources director position has not yet been filled. Sposito said she hopes the administration and council can get back to caring for the parish and doing business ethically. “I don’t want the parish to be put in a posi-

tion where we could be sued,” she said. “We just need to do what we were elected to do, and that’s do right by the parish, do right by the employees. ... You have to have qualified people in these positions because when someone unqualified is in a position, our taxpayers are vulnerable. That HR person is supposed to know the HR laws, work hand-in-hand with civil service and behave ethically. Our employees need to be treated fairly, and they cannot be treated fairly by someone who doesn’t know the laws, doesn’t know HR.” Lasseigne declined to comment on the letter, saying he didn’t have all the information Morvant used to make his decision. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Bridget Mire can be reached at 4487639 or bridget.mire@dailycomet. com.

From 1-A

Anna, but also the first Christmas ever for his daughter. And he was not there to spend it with them. Decades later, Winn found herself reading her father’s World War II letters on Christmas Eve, 2014. “I was longing on Christmas Eve two years ago to know what my dad was doing on Christmas Eve in 1943, which was the year I was born,” she said. “It was like a real deep desire to know where he was. He was gone my very first Christmas.” Winn continued reading her father’s letters every night, which eventually turned into a ritual of reading and typing out the letters. Soon after, she got the idea to compile the documents into a book called “My Darling: A World War II Scrapbook.” “I would hear him speaking,” Winn said of her father’s letters. “People would say, ‘What are you going to do with those letters?’ I didn’t have a clue. It really wasn’t about an assignment. It was something I wanted to know about, where my dad was all those years and days he was apart from us.” A lawyer and state senator in Rayville, a small town about 30 miles east of Monroe, W.D. was part of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps, a military branch that decided where soldiers would land and where the boats and ships would come from. He had written hundreds of letters, the first dating back to December 1943. They were kept in an Army trunk in the attic of his Rayville home. Winn thought Christmas decorations were the only things in the attic. But after looking through their parents’ things after their deaths, Winn’s brother discovered the trunk. “My brother brought the Army trunk down, and when we opened it, it felt like treasure. The letters became the treasure that was hidden in the fields that we didn’t even know existed. It was like a gift from God,” she said. Winn and book producer Carolyn Gorman used at least 90 percent of the letters in the book. Pages of “My Darling” are filled with words from W.D.’s letters, postcards he sent his wife and daughter from Europe, newspaper clippings that documented the war and a World War II timeline. There are even top secret documents from the war that W.D. couldn’t divulge at the time because of censorship protocol. The book is certainly about W.D.’s life during wartime, but it isn’t just about that. It tells the story of a man who enlisted in a war on behalf of his country but also longed for two of the most important people in his life: his darling wife and daughter. Winn, who along with her husband, John, served as pastors at First United

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED PARTIAL ACTION PLAN NO. 9 FOR UTILIZATION OF CDBG FUNDS IN RESPONSE TO HURRICANE ISAAC

Street Survivors RC, Inc. recently held a fundraiser to benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center of Lafourche, a non-profit organization that brings together a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to serve the needs of children who have been the victim of physical or sexual abuse, as well as those children who have witnessed these types of incidents. In addition to continuing to play a vital role in the prosecution of those who abuse children, as well as helping to educate young people with regard to their safety, the CAC of Lafourche is expanding its operations to include a family counseling center. The inclusion of this service will help to minimize the disruption these types of crimes bring to the families of young victims. To find out more about the CAC of Lafourche and to learn how you can help, visit their website at www.cacoflafourche.org Mike Boudreaux, of Street Survivors RC, Inc., is pictured handing District Attorney Camille A. “Cam” Morvant, II a check for $8,000. Also pictured are First Assistant District Attorney Kristine M. Russell, who serves as the Director of the CAC, Shannan Gros, who is the Forensic Interviewer for the CAC, and Street Survivor members Mark Nieubuurt, Bruce Rivet, Robert Bergeron, Adam Adams, Jason Ordoyne, Brian Benoit, Mark Pellegrin, Billy Aucoin, Elaina Bergeron, Edgar Louviere and Ricky Rose.

The state of Louisiana’s Office of Community Development, Disaster Recovery Unit is accepting public comments on a Partial Action Plan that allocates disaster recovery funding to Lafourche and St. Martin parishes for recovery from Hurricane Isaac. Lafourche and St. Martin parishes were impacted by Hurricane Isaac but did not receive direct allocations of Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, the parishes have demonstrated a need for cost-share funds for low-tomoderate income households participating in FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Elevation programs. This Partial Action Plan identifies the two parishes as additional grantees in the Isaac Hazard Mitigation Assistance LMI Cost-Share Program. Partial Action Plan 9 is considered substantial because it adds locations, and therefore also adds new beneficiaries, to the state’s Hurricane Isaac Master Plan. Substantial amendments to the plan are required to undergo a public comment period. The formal public comment period for Partial Action Plan 9 begins today, Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2016, and runs until 5 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2017. A copy of the plan can be requested by calling 225.219.9600. After accepting public comments, the state will submit the plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for final federal approval. Members of the public can submit comments several ways: Using the online form at http://www.doa.la.gov/Pages/ocddru/Action_Plans.aspx ; Emailing them to ocd@la.gov; Mailing them to Disaster Recovery Unit, P.O. Box 94095, 70804-9095, Attn: Janice Lovett; or Faxing them to the attention of Janice Lovett at 225.219.9605. The funds are part of $64,379,084
