Louisiana’s Medicaid expansion reaches 500K, still growing

By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s Medicaid expansion program continues to add more people to the taxpayer -financed health insurance rolls, topping 500,000 enrollees this year and growing at a pace unexpected by Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration. The Louisiana Department of Health expected a steeper slowdown in enrollment nearly three years after the Democratic governor expanded Medicaid to cover more nonelderly adults, as allowed under the federal health overhaul. Instead, agency financial officer Pam Diez said the department’s continuing to see sizable numbers of new signups for the program, estimating a 7.5 percent enrollment increase this budget year, followed by a similar increase next year. The health depart-

Teen arrested in Lockport shooting

A 17-year-old man has been arrested in connection to a shooting Sunday night in the Rita community of Lockport that resulted in another man’s death. Jyairus Folse, of Lockport, was charged Jyairus Folse with Second DeShooting Suspect gree Murder in the shooting death of 19-year-old Alton Adams of Bayou Blue. Folse is also charged with six counts of attempted murder – one count for each person inside the residence during the shooting. At around 10:25 p.m. on Sunday, deputies responded to a call of a shooting in the 100 block of East Fontinelle Street.

When deputies arrived they found Adams had been struck by a single round. He was later pronounced dead at the scene. He was inside his mother’s residence with six other individuals when they heard gunshots. At least eight rounds were fired with at least four striking the residence. One of those rounds struck Adams resulting in his death. Overnight and during the day on Monday, February 11, detectives interviewed witnesses and neighbors. Through investigation, Folse was developed as a suspect, and detectives obtained warrants for his arrest. Detectives made contact with Folse Monday afternoon, and he was taken into custody. He was transported to the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. He is charged with one count of Second Degree Murder and six counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder. His bond is set at $5 million.

The victim’s friends and family members said the shooting has left them reeling with more questions than answers. A d a m s ’ cousin Nicole Barlow, of Larose, said she remembers babysitting Alton Adams him years ago. “He was always a very good-hearted family person,” Barlow said. “He never messed with anyone. He wanted his boating license just like his dad. He was very wellloved by everyone. We’re all still in shock and are not sure what to think. We feel like we’re all in a nightmare. We just want justice. We want his shooter to get caught.”

Governor inspects area’s levee system By Scott Yoshonis, Daily Comet Staff Writer

Gov. John Bel Edwards spent an afternoon last week in and above Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes to gather information on the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system and also to bring a bit of good news. Edwards was briefed by local levee officials on the progress of the massive project, a 98-mile lock, levee and floodgate system designed to protect 150,000 residents of Terrebonne and Lafourche as well as 1,700 square miles of wetlands.

The briefing took place at a luncheon held at the Houma-Terrebonne Airport before the governor and local officials boarded a military helicopter for an aerial tour of the system. Reggie Dupre, executive director of the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District, Dwayne Bourgeois, executive director of the North Lafourche Levee District, and Windell Curole, general manager of the South Lafourche Levee District, gave Edwards and Chip Kline, chairman of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, a detailed briefing on the progress of the Morganza project. “We’re trying to show the governor and some of his administration all the work we’ve done,” said Dupre. “We want to continue to move forward to get more of this Morganza system built.” Edwards said he has seen individual components of the project, but grasping the scope of the entirety of it can be elusive.

Cut Off businessman now facing additional charges

A Cut Off business owner arrested for Felony Theft in January faces additional charges as the investigation continues. Kristian “Kris” Gaudet, 45, was initially arrested for two counts of Felony Theft. AddiKris Gaudet tional charges were filed Friday including multiple counts of Money Laundering, Racketeering, Exploitation of the Infirmed, and five more counts of Theft. This investigation is continuing in coordination with the FBI, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s Office, and the Fraud Division of the Louisiana Department of Insurance. The investigation began in late 2018 when a couple became suspicious of investments made with Gaudet, owner of Kris Gaudet Insurance and Financial Services. Detectives found Gaudet provided false information on an investment company, Winston Financial, which he also owned. Detectives discovered Gaudet deposited the couple’s $350,000 investment into a Winston Financial account and then transferred a majority of the money to another bank account he held. Detectives found a second instance in May 2018 in which he made similar transactions. Gaudet was arrested on January 31, 2019, and he was booked on two counts of Felony Theft. His bond was set at $1 million, and he remains at the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. Since that time, several of Gaudet’s clients have come forward, and detectives identified five more instances of theft. In all seven cases, including the first two, detectives found evidence of money laundering by Gaudet in an attempt to conceal the source of the funding he used for personal gain. In three cases, the victims Gaudet allegedly exploited were 60 years of age or older.

Analysis: Attacks begin early in Louisiana govenor’s race By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press

B A T O N ROUGE, La. (AP) — After the last Louisiana governor’s race centered on prostitution allegations and questions of honesty and morality, voters might have hoped the competition for the job four years later would be slightly nicer. They’ll get no such thing. Eight months ahead of the Oct. 12 primary, the name-calling and trash-talking has already started, in press releases and emails, on social media sites and in digital advertising. The three announced contenders — and the teams supporting them — so far seem more focused on attacking opponents than asserting their own visions for Louisiana’s future. Incumbent John Bel Edwards is seeking a second term as the Deep South’s lone Democratic governor, after a 2015 election victory in which he defeated then-U.S. Sen. David Vitter, who was damaged by a prostitution scandal and dislike within his own party. Two Republicans have announced they’re running against Edwards: U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, a doctor from rural northeast Louisiana in his third term in Congress; and Baton Rouge businessman Eddie Rispone, a first-time office-seeker and long-time GOP political donor. The three men, their campaigns and their supporters have hit each other early and often, suggesting voters should steel themselves for mudslinging the rest of the year. For Republicans, an attack-heavy strategy is the most obvious choice since they’re running against an incumbent and trying to explain to voters why they should dump him for someone new. For Edwards, he wants the first thing voters hear about two relatively unknown GOP contenders to spark neg-

ative associations that linger all the way into the polling booth. Abraham’s taken the most hits so far from the pro-Edwards camp. They’ve said Abraham reneged on a promise to donate his congressional salary to charity, after Abraham spokesman Cole Avery said the congressman gave the money to charitable organizations during his first term but started pocketing his salary in his second term. They’ve also slammed the Republican congressman for missing multiple votes, including during the partial government shutdown, to attend fundraisers for his gubernatorial campaign. “Louisiana taxpayers are paying @ R e p A b r a h a m $174,000 per year and he’s not showing up to work. He missed more votes during the shutdown than any member of the LA congressional delegation ... all to fundraise for a campaign,” Edwards campaign manager Richard Carbo posted on Twitter. Democratic super PAC American Bridge released digital ads urging Abraham to “show up to work” and an online spot called “Lyin’ Ralph Abraham” about the charity donations. Edwards and his supporters haven’t ignored Rispone, chastising him in particular for his ardent support of former Gov. Bobby Jindal, who left office deeply unpopular. Rispone, meanwhile, slams Edwards in most fundraising emails his campaign sends out to potential donors. He reminds voters that Edwards voted for Hillary Clinton in the last presidential race. And he regularly links Edwards, a moderate who opposes abortion and supports gun rights, to more liberal national Democrats, hoping to undermine him in a state that solidly supported Donald Trump. “Out-of-state liberals are lining up to defend Democratic governor John Bel Edwards in Louisiana. He’s running around the state boast-

ing about his war chest that is bankrolled by the same northern elites who are helping Nancy Pelosi impose her liberal agenda,” a recent Rispone fundraising email said. Abraham and his supporters pan Edwards for backing taxes to fill budget gaps, blast his management of the Medicaid program, and criticize him as anti-business. Democratic groups so far have been more organized in the attack effort, but the GOP response is expected to escalate as the race continues. Edwards’ supporters note the governor has been targeted by Republicans — particularly state House Republican leadership — for criticism the full length of his term. But unlike in 2015, when Republican candidates Scott Angelle and Jay Dardenne focused their criticism on GOP rival Vitter instead of Edwards in the primary, Rispone and Abraham are not hitting each other. Instead, they’ve focused their hits on Edwards alone. Whether they’ll maintain that approach as the competition intensifies is unclear, but Republican Party leaders are urging against the sort of intraparty fighting that helped crater Vitter’s political plans and helped Edwards win four years ago. ___ EDITOR’S NOTE: Melinda Deslatte has covered Louisiana politics for The Associated Press since 2000.

Shooting From 1-A

Houma resident Camille Simoneaux, who said she was the victim’s girlfriend, echoed Barlow’s sentiments. “He was a very happy and outgoing person, always clowning around, loved his family and his dogs with all his heart and would give anybody the shirt off his back,” Simoneaux said. “He never harmed anyone and was always the quiet kid. He was never in trouble.” The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and the investigation is continuing.

Charges From 1-A

Due to the number of cases and the overall pattern of criminal activity, detectives also developed evidence of racketeering. Gaudet was booked on the new charges on Friday, February 8. He is charged with five additional counts of Felony Theft (seven counts total). He was also booked on new charges including seven counts of Money Laundering, three counts of Exploita-

tion of the Infirmed, and one count of Racketeering. His bond amount has now increased to a total of $4.75 million. Once again, detectives are asking anyone who has made an investment with Gaudet and his company since 2012 to please come forward if your investment has not been fully returned. Anyone with insurance policies obtained through Gaudet and his company is also asked to contact their primary insurer listed on documents to ensure your account is in good standing. Anyone with any discrepancies is asked to contact the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at (985) 5324320.

enue coming in, the revenue is coming in over a long period of time. We’ve got to figure out what do we do now, where do we get the most bang for the buck?” Edwards announced the state will provide $13 million for a pump station at Elliot Jones Canal in the Bayou Black and Gibson area, a project that Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove has been working to finance for years. “That’s fantastic news,” Dove said. “That will give us two pumping stations pumping 2,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) of fresh Chacahoula water into our estuaries and lowering the level of the Chacahoula Basin, which is 109,000 acres.” A major theme of the presentation was the need for federal money to complete the massive Morganza endeavor. Edwards said he is confident that money can be found even without direct appropriation from the federal budget. “We’re trying to increase the revenue sharing from mineral production offshore of Louisiana to what it is onshore,” Edwards said. “Other things we’re looking for is any effort through the (U.S. Army) Corps of Engineers or other federal funding opportunities.” Edwards also cited an agreement between the state and the federal government to pay back a portion of the cost of a hurricane risk reduction system by the Corps of Engineers undertaken after Katrina. That project was slated to be up and running and handed over to the state in 2011 but has not yet been completed. “When that happens, we are contractually obligated to pay back about $100 million per year,” Edwards said. “What we’re trying to get the federal government to do is allow us to do projects like this and credit that toward what we owe. It’s an indirect way of getting federal funding for projects that have a positive impact on hurricane risk-reduction systems that they have already built.” — Daily Comet Staff Writer Scott Yoshonis can be reached at 850-1148 or syoshonis@houmatoday.com.

ment is trying to determine what’s driving the ongoing increases. “We just thought that expansion would be at a much slower growth than this right now,” Diez told a Medicaid forecasting panel. “Early data is showing that the bulk of the increases are coming from the New Orleans area. We’re trying to drill down on that.” Medicaid expansion is expected to provide insurance to 560,000 people by June 2020, according to health department enrollment estimates provided Thursday to The Associated Press. Diez said at that point, about 89 percent of Louisiana residents eligible for

Medicaid expansion would be enrolled in the program. “We’re hoping that will level out,” she said. A new computer upgrade aimed at doublechecking more Medicaid recipients’ income to ensure they are eligible for coverage could curb some of the expected growth, Diez told the forecasting panel. Medicaid expansion began July 1, 2016, with Louisiana becoming the first Deep South state to participate. More than 440,000 working poor and nonelderly adults signed up for the government-financed coverage within the first budget year. Enrollment grew past 500,000 in January. Edwards, running for a second term in office, has credited the expansion with cutting Louisiana’s uninsured rate in half, to 8.4 percent in the latest Census numbers, lower than the national average. He notes that thousands of people newly added to the Medicaid rolls have received preventive services that have identified cancer, diabetes and other illnesses. Adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — about $16,750 for a single adult or $28,680 for a family of three — are eligible for the coverage through one of Louisiana’s Medicaid plans administered by private managed-care companies. Republicans say the expansion is too costly and has grown the Medicaid program at an unsustainable rate. Louisiana is expected to have 1.7 million people, 37 percent of the state’s population, enrolled in Medicaid through the expansion and non-expansion programs by June. The federal government is paying most of the Medicaid expansion cost. Louisiana is paying a share that eventually increases to 10 percent. Lawmakers passed financing tools to help cover the state’s costs, including a tax hike charged on health maintenance organizations. GOP lawmakers point to legislative audits that show misspending, including one released in November that said the Medicaid expansion may have spent as much as $85M on ineligible enrollees. The Edwards administration said the computer upgrade will address those concerns, doing more frequent income reviews for eligibility and using more data for comparison, exceeding federal requirements. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Grocery ad sent to Arkansas stores says ‘Heaven has a wall’

CAMDEN, Ark. (AP) — A grocery store chain is facing criticism after it sent out a weekly ad to stores in Arkansas and Louisiana that included the message: “Heaven has a wall.” The Mac’s Cashsaver ad was distributed in the Arkansas cities of Camden, Magnolia and El Dorado, and in northern Louisiana. The front page of the ad featured promotions for food products and included the text: “Heaven has a wall, a gate and a strict immigration policy. Hell has open borders. Let that sink in.” The company describes itself as familyowned and Christian. Jack Digby is the manager of a Mac’s Cashsaver in Camden. He says he’s fielded dozens of angry calls over the ad. The company tells Little Rock television station KARK that it stands by the ad and will continue to put out messages each week. Information from: KARK-TV. ___

Coastal agency: Hundreds of acres of marsh built, restored

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority says it has built or renewed 600 acres of marsh in Cameron Parish, and has nearly completed a slightly smaller project.

5-A

The authority announced Friday that the Oyster Bayou Marsh Creation and Terracing project is complete. The $31 million project used dredged sediment to build 510 acres of salt marsh and nourish another 90 acres. It also created 2.5 miles of earthen terraces. The restored area had lost wetlands to drought, saltwater intrusion and hurricanes. The agency says a project to build and nourish more than 580 acres of marsh is nearly complete. It’s near Cameron, and is called the Cameron-Creole Watershed Grand Bayou Marsh Creation project. The authority has an online interactive map of its projects. ___

Lady Tarpons earn high postseason seed Gazette Sports Report

Season one ended in early January’s non-district play. Season two, the district grind ended on Friday night with a 56-32 win over E.D. White. Now, after months of hard work, preparation, 21 wins and 7 losses, it’s time for season three to begin for the South Lafourche girls’ basketball team, the Class 4A State Playoffs. The Lady Tarpons earned the No. 8 seed in the Class 4A bracket, securing a date with No. 25 Carencro this Thursday night at home in Galliano. South Lafourche positioned themselves for that seed after routing Morgan City 79-38 last Tuesday, which set up the E.D. White win, the team’s fourth-straight going into postseason. Coach Rainie Terrebonne said the goal for her team is simple: peak at the right time and may the chips fall where they may. “Shooting, defense, passes, the normal things, rebounding. Just anything to get ready for next week,” Terrebonne said after the win over the Lady Cardinals when asked what the team needed to work on in its preparation. “We have a young team and we make some mistakes, but we never give up and we always keep fighting.” That fight was apparent in the regular

season finale. The Lady Tarpons played very poorly early in the game, falling behind 10-8 at the end of the first quarter. Shots weren’t falling from the outside for the Lady Tarpons, who made zero 3-pointers in the first three quarters of the game. But with shots not falling, South Lafourche picked up its defensive intensity in the second and third quarters, swarming the Lady Cardinals to a 26-15 halftime lead and then a 41-20 lead after three quarters. In the fourth, the shots started falling with Makayla Bynum drilling several 3-pointers to put the game away. Terrebonne said she was proud of how the team competed after the rough, sluggish start. The opposite effect was in play for the South Lafourche boys on Friday night. The Tarpons started strong, grabbing hold of an early lead against the Cardinals. But late-game miscues plagued the Tarpons who fell victim to a 32-30 loss at the hands of E.D. White. South Lafourche had the ball late with a chance to tie or go for the win. But a last-second 3point try from Trey Gallagher clanked off the backboard and into the hands of the Cardinals who secured the victory. Coach Brian Callais said the loss was due to a lack of communication

Cajun rollergirls recruit, prepare for 2019 season By SCOTT YOSHONIS, The Courier of Houma

HOUMA, La. (AP) — Houma’s roller derby team, the Cajun Rollergirls, wants you. The team, whose home rink is at Aggie’s Skate Connection, will begin its 2019 home season March 23 and is always looking for new players, referred to in derby speak as “fresh meat.” League and team President Debra McInnes, whose roller derby name is “DeBruizer,” has been a part of the team for five years. “I saw an advertisement in the newspaper recruiting for the Cajun Rollergirls,” McInnes said. “I showed it to my husband and said, ‘Hey, I can do this,’ and he said, ‘No you can’t, you’ll fall and bust a hip.’ “ But McInnes’ husband, who is in the Coast Guard, mentioned it to a co-worker who had done roller derby in the past, and was con-

vinced. “Roller derby as a sport, as a team, we’re talking about women’s empowerment,” McInnes said. “It’s a very strong sisterhood. We have people from all walks of life. I’m a home health nurse, we have architects, we have engineers, we’ve got marine biologists, bartenders, moms, so you have a whole group of women here supporting each other. We’re great friends on and off the track.” The team plays others from throughout Louisiana and sometimes travels to Texas and Mississippi. The team is affiliated with the Women’s FlatTrack Derby Association, the ruling body for 430 full-member leagues and 39 apprentice leagues from all over the world. The terms “league” and “team” are used somewhat interchangeably. Currently, the Cajun Rollergirls are ranked 223rd in the

with no score at presstime. They then close out the season on Friday at CCA. ___ Trojans get prideful win

This basketball season hasn’t been much fun for the Central Lafourche boys’ basketball team. But finally on Friday night, the Trojans got rewarded for their hard work throughout the season with a bigtime win. The Trojans beat Terrebonne 75-65 on Friday, the team’s first district win in 10 tries. Alex Sanders led the Trojans with 23 points in the win, a road victory for the Trojans in the Terrebonne gym. It was the finest moment all season for the Trojans. They played tough and fierce in the Tigers’ gym, getting balanced scoring on the way to the win. Sanders led the Trojans, but four others, Courtney Smith (16 points), Everette Jackson (13 points), Jahiem Gray (11 points), and Ashtrein Duncan (10 points) all pitched into the winning effort. With the victory, the Trojans are now 6-20 on the season. They will not make the playoffs, but they will close out their regular season on Friday against Thibodaux, the No. 1 team in the state. The Lady Trojans also played at Terrebonne on Friday, but they didn’t enjoy the same fate. They fell 6036 to the Lady Tigers, ending the team’s season with a 7-22 record.

world. Fourth-year head coach Corey Callegan said the sport gets a bad rap for being too violent. “It’s not violent; it’s rough,” Callegan said. “It’s like playing soccer, they hit about the same way. We play by a rule set that keeps the ladies safe. You can’t forearm anybody, you can’t trip anybody, you can’t hit anybody in the face. It’s not the old-school, 1970s roller derby.” Marine biologist Denise Kinsey has been with the Cajun Rollergirls from the very beginning, and is the last player left from the original team. “I was in love. I said, this is my life, I’m doing this,” Kinsey said. “I just love team sports, I’ve played soccer, I love the contact, this is just a

good fit for me.” The Rollergirls lost just one game last year, despite having a smaller roster than many of their opponents, and look to have another successful campaign in 2019. But winning isn’t everything. “We always want to grow the team,” Callegan said. “That’s always our primary goal.” Women interested in joining should contact the Cajun Rollergirls via their Facebook page, facebook.com/CajunRollergirls. ___

between he and his team in late-game situations. The Tarpons had several miscues late, which squandered the lead and allowed the Cardinals to come from behind. “The second half at the end, we just didn’t execute,” Callais said. “Our listening skills are not where they need to be this late in the season. That’s my fault. I take all of the blame for that. These guys need to listen to what we want to get done and we just had some lapses in this game here and it cost us.” Friday’s game was ugly with neither team getting much of a rhythm throughout a slow-paced game. But the Tarpons were consistently one step ahead of the Cardinals early, owning a 9-6 lead after the first quarter and then a 19-16 lead at the half. The Tarpons had chances early to lead by more, but the Cardinals drew fouls, which put them on the free-throw line and kept the game close. Those early free points enabled the Cardinals to be within striking distance for a late-game rally. Down 26-21 after the third quarter, the Cardinals got Peyton Amedee and Quinn Strander going in the final 8 minutes to retake the lead and thwart the Tarpons chance at victory. The Lady Tarpons will take on Carencro Thursday at 6 p.m., a win or go-home game. The boys team hosted South Terrebonne on Tuesday night

Nicholls students lead coastal field trip to Grand Isle

Nicholls State University students gave local elementary school children a first-hand look at barrier island ecology with a tour of a Grand Isle last week. The annual project was created by Jean Landry of The Nature Conservancy and Dr. Gary LaFleur Jr., associate professor of biological sciences and executive director of the Center for Bayou Studies. “The opportunity for our Nicholls students to take on the role of educator is a valuable experience,” Dr. LaFleur said. “By giving them the responsibility of teaching the elementary students, our own undergraduates nurture a deeper understanding of the role that barrier islands play in the cohesiveness of

coastal systems.” Ten Nicholls students and faculty members took second and third graders on a hike where the students were able to tour the marsh, forest and beach, followed by encounters with rarely seen creatures, such as the ghost shrimp. “There is a unique magic that exists at Grand Isle; it is inspiring. Scientists and artists have traveled to the coast for millenia,” LaFleur said. “There is an intangible mechanism that becomes available by ‘leaving campus’ that helps students and faculty regain clarity, focus and priorities of mission. It is a great example of an exercise that becomes a high-impact experience.”

Lafourche Parish Sheriff Office has announced applications are now being accepted for the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association annual scholarship. All eligible students in Lafourche Parish are encouraged to apply. The $500 scholarship will be awarded to a graduating high school student who attends Nicholls State University, L.E. Fletcher Technical Community College, or South Central Louisiana Technical College. An applicant must be a permanent resident of Lafourche Parish and must be eligible for admission to the school indicated on the application. The award will only be paid for attendance at one of the aforementioned qualifying institu-

tions as a full-time, undergraduate student. The scholarship is awarded as a gift, not a loan, and is awarded to defray the rising costs of tuition and related expenses in higher education. Applications are available for download online at www. LPSO.net/scholarship. Completed applications can be turned in at any Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office location or mailed to Lieutenant Brennan Matherne, P.O. Box 5608, Thibodaux, LA 70302. All applications must be received no later than Monday, April 1. An independent selection committee will review the applications and select a winner to be announced in May.
