Edwards recommends $30B budget that assumes forecast changes
SLLD hopeful for greater share of GOMESA funds By Buster Avera Contributing Writer
By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards unveiled a $30 billion budget proposal Friday that would boost education and health care spending and give public school teachers pay raises, but relies on uncertain financing to make the numbers balance. The Democratic governor’s spending recommendations for the 2019-20 budget year that begins July 1 represent a wish list of sorts, assuming Edwards will eventually break through a logjam with House Republican leaders that has blocked increases to the state income forecast. The last financial forecast for the upcoming year was adopted in June. Those figures, however, don’t reflect the recommendations of state economists who expect tax collections to be higher, and they’re missing billions that agencies expect to receive from fees, fines and other revenue sources. Rather than leave huge cuts and gaps across state agencies, the Edwards administration presented an aspirational document about what the governor believes will show up in the treasury and how he’d like to spend it.

Bicyclist makes point to visit Port Fourchon on journey across America
Iscoe was impressed with what he saw and said his journey was worth it, which is good, considering Iscoe biked over 60 miles to get to Cut Off on Thursday, February 14th, after visiting New Orleans the previous few days. “What made it super tough was biking into the wind the whole way down here,” Iscoe said. “It made a tough bike ride even tougher.” Highlights of his visit to the Port were seeing the huge storage tanks the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) has visible from Airport Road as well as viewing the Lady of the Gulf Memorial statue outside the Fourchon EOC. Several times during his visit, Iscoe commented about the beauty of the Port and how scenic the views were from on the water to along the highway on a stretch of old LA 1. Iscoe even had the opportunity to grab a nice meal at Moran’s Marina before being dropped off at his hotel near the GLPC administrative office in Cut Off. Backing Out To hear Iscoe tell it, his adventure that started in September ended abruptly during the December and January timeframe after he “blew some discs in his back.” During those two months he stayed in New York with his girlfriend while catching up on chronicling what had happened in his first three months on the road. “I sort of had to just batAdam Iscoe is currently bicycling his way across America tle through it and get back using primarily the bike pictured above to get from place on the road because I have to place. GLPC CUT OFF, LA – Adam Iscoe seems like your normal, everyday guy, except he’s not. The 23-year-old Texas native is currently bicycling across America after being awarded the Judith Lee Stronach Baccalaureate Prize by UC Berkeley in California. Ever since finding out he received the prize, he’s been traveling the countryside with a specific interest in visiting rural, remote areas to learn more about the people and things that make them tick. Having started his journey in September of 2018, Iscoe has now traveled hundreds of miles spanning the Midwest and elsewhere. Port of Call According to Iscoe, the Port seemed like a logical stop because he was fascinated with how industry and environment converged in the middle of a coastal marsh fighting off the harsh realities of land loss, while looking to preserve what remains.

The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006, or GOMESA, is the latest boon for groups like the South Lafourche Levee District for financial support for their infrastructure needs. Sponsored by former Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu (and Pete Dominici R-N.M.), the measure has finally allowed four Gulf oil producing states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas) to share in offshore drilling revenues from leases and royalties. SLLD General Manager Windell Curole estimates that since 1995, revenues to the federal government from offshore mining (drilling for oil and gas) had ballooned to $6B per year with no sharing by gulf states, while states with federal land within their boundaries on which mining was occurring were sharing 50% of federal income from those sources. Curole and others thought this was unfair since states like Louisiana were not receiving financial support for their weakened infrastructure which was facilitating the federal treasury’s windfall. Hurricanes like Katrina in 2005 had also caused a threat not only to the local infrastructure but also to the economy and natural environment of our community and those of other producing states.

Registration open for BTNEP’s annual Paddle Bayou Lafourche
Registration is now open for the BaratariaTerrebonne National Estuary Program’s (BTNEP) 2019 Paddle Bayou Lafourche event. BTNEP invites residents and visitors from all over the country to travel down the waters of Bayou Lafourche and learn about the culture and heritage that goes along with it. BTNEP started Paddle Bayou Lafourche as an innovative approach to educate residents and visitors about the culture and ecology of Bayou Lafourche, as well as the coastal restoration needs of the area and potential solutions. In partnership with BTNEP, Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District (BLFWD), Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary Foundation (BTEF), and Friends of Bayou Lafourche, all share a common goal of bringing clean water to the local community, as well as encouraging locals to explore the recreational resources Bayou Lafourche offers. “Paddle Bayou Lafourche is a great way for visitors as well as locals to experience the recreational opportunities along a large portion of Bayou Lafourche. Participants are also given a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the critical role that the bayou plays for our region relative to economic impact, history, and transportation. With Bayou Lafourche being a source of drinking water for over 300,000 people, we completely support programs such as Paddle Bayou Lafourche which create an awareness and a need to keep our bayou clean and free of invasive species and litter.” said Ryan Perque, Executive Director of Friends of Bayou Lafourche. The 50-mile, threeday paddling trip down the bayou begins Thursday, April 11, in Donaldsonville, and ends in Raceland on Saturday, April 13. Paddlers can participate one day or all three days of the trip. Participants will be treated not only to scenic natural vistas, but also to a fascinating backyard view of the bayou from the water’s perspective while enjoying camaraderie, food, music, and fun. Paddlers will get a firsthand look at the restoration work being conducted along the bayou, along with a taste of local cuisine, and entertainment every night in a campsite setting. Participants will also receive a souvenir t-shirt, water, and healthy snacks throughout the day. The trip cost is $50.00 per day, or $150.00 for all four days without a canoe rental. The cost for paddlers renting a canoe is $70.00 per day, or $210.00 for all three
days. Canoe rentals are available in a limited supply and preregistration is required. Local residents not wanting to paddle can also join in the experience by supporting the event from the banks of Bayou Lafourche. Locals are invited to decorate their bayou side and provide signs of encouragement and welcome to our bayou visitors. In the past, visitors have been greeted with local music and cheers as the paddlers coasted down the bayou. According to Nicole Babin, Paddle Bayou Lafourche Project Manager, “I’m very excited to be leading this year’s trip. We hope the paddlers will learn more about our estuary and understand that the primary reason we do this trip to draw attention to the fact that people in our region get their drinking water from surface water like Bayou Lafourche. This year will be fun, too! We have great cultural entertainment each night with the Cajun Music Preservation Society on Thursday night, Mr. Kerry Thibodaux on Friday night, and the United Houma Nation’s providing a great end to our trip.” Babin also notes, “It is easy to register. Paddlers can go online at www.BTNEP.org and there is a registration link right on the front page.” Paddlers can register by completing the registration form at www.BTNEP.org, by calling 985-447-0868, or by emailing Nicole Babin at Nicole@BTNEP.org for registration instructions.

What is really important in America? By Glenn Mollette Guest Columnist
Every day we face life. What is really important? Social Security? We pay into Social Security all of our working lives. When we reach our sixties we anticipate collecting the benefits promised to us. Some will collect income at 62 while others will not collect it until 66.2 or later. The full retirement age should be returned to 65. Millions of Americans will never collect a penny of Social Security. Imagine paying into Social Security most of your life but dying early and never collecting a cent. This happens to millions of Americans. Medicare? We pay into Medicare most of our lives but will it be there for us when we need examinations and procedures? Or will the government make it harder for us to receive quality healthcare? Social Security is already telling us we will receive less benefits than we were promised because there isn’t enough money to pay us. Whose fault is this? The government has squandered trillions of dollars that they took from us. Who will suffer from the wasteful actions of our government? You and I. Health? Your mortality doesn’t become much of a reality until you hit about 50. At 50 you know you are a half century old! The body begins to react to how we have treated it or to problems that we may have inherited from past generations. Colon polyps start showing up, the thyroid starts acting
up, blood pressure, heart, diabetes and much more becomes a daily concern. Listen to your body. Go see your doctor and don’t be passive when your doctor tells you about health issues that you should address. Stay active. Focus on more vegetables, fruit, baked or grilled chicken and fish and cut out desserts. Sounds bad but my 97year-old friend says she focuses on vegetables and being active and she is still doing great. Money? Americans are working today longer than ever it seems. Many senior adults are working into their eighties to keep food on the table or pay the rent. If you think you may be working into your seventies, consider preparing yourself for a job that you can physically and mentally do late in life. Underground coal mining may not be for you when you are 75. However, working out of your home two days a week as a plumber or carpenter might be enjoyable. A friend of mine downsized his insurance agency but still takes care of a few clients a few mornings a week from his home. Find something that you enjoy doing. If you enjoy it then it doesn’t feel so much like work. Longevity? Life is short. We are just passing through this world. Life is a gift. All in all, our most valued possessions are being at peace with our souls and our Creator, spending time with our family and friends and guarding our health.

year to exhaust the prize money for my trip,� Iscoe said. Days on a bicycle include onlookers, large trucks honking at you while you hug dangerously close to a main road via a shoulder. Depending on the wind direction, traveling by bike becomes difficult to say the least, especially for someone with a bad back. The Journey Continues As Iscoe leaves southern Lafourche Parish and heads to his next stop, the one certainty is this former Eagle Scout turned journalism teacher at a state prison in California is a well-traveled young man. Iscoe’s Writing Between America project “aims to explore the texture of rural America.� Telling these stories includes meeting with random people and engaging them in conversation daily in an effort to connect with individuals of varying backgrounds. What the future holds for Iscoe is anybody’s guess, but according to him, where there are roads you will find him peddling from one place to the next with unique occurrences happening regularly. One such incident took place prior to Iscoe embarking on his trip to Cut Off and Port Fourchon. “I was outside resting eating some Brother’s chicken (brand of fried chicken), and I see this guy approaching me with a similar set up as myself,� Iscoe said. “Come to find out he was from England and was biking across the country. We were able to keep ourselves company as we rode together for an entire day.� After he finishes his journey in September of this year, Iscoe plans on writing up a long-form piece for publication in a magazine and/or a book or both.

the offshore revenue by suing the federal government to halt an upcoming lease sale. Tauzin was not in favor of the idea. “The congressman told the group that the idea was crazy. He reminded the group that the basis of the economy was securing the very work that the lease sale had provided,� said Curole. The group was also on shaky ground as its members represented the industry which it was trying to stop—they all depended on the oilfield for their survival. Then SLLD turned to Governor Kathleen Blanco, urging her to sue on behalf of Louisiana. Although she agreed with the idea and was supported by her State Treasurer John Kennedy, she did not pursue a lawsuit. In her response to SLLD, Blanco said: “I am not optimistic that a lawsuit will produce the desired result for Louisiana or do so in a timely fashion. Nonetheless, I promise I will stand with you to push this agenda forward.� Curole then formed another group of members of the Attorney General’s office, Louisiana’s federal delegation, local officials, industry members and some attorneys who met several times to explore other actions, keeping the threat of some form of legal action alive. Finally, in 2006 Governor Blanco did sue (Blanco vs. Burton, Docket No. 06-3813) with a temporary restraining order to force stoppage of an upcoming lease sale. Although the judge denied the order, the
suit led to a settlement between the state and the Mineral Management Service which led to GOMESA, says Curole. GOMESA funds would be used for coastal conservation, restoration, and hurricane protection. Therefore Lafourche, one of eight Louisiana coastal parishes, should realize a sizeable amount of that money. So what kind of revenue are we talking about? The U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee (Chaired by Landrieu) suggested that about $30 million would be realized by the state from offshore revenue collected between 20071016 (Phase I), as per the GOMESA Act. In Phase II of that plan which began in 2017 and which expanded the areas that qualify for revenue sharing, Louisiana would realize another $600 Million. Curole was hopeful that many of SLLD’s projects would be considered for funding. “South Lafourche Levee District played its part in getting those funds from the federal government to the state of Louisiana,� he says. Below is a list of SLLD’s critical unfunded projects: - Larose Floodwall Vessel Impact Barrier— $1.04M - D-South elevation to 18 ft.—$1.05M - E-North Elevation to 15.5 ft.—$2M - Section F Berm Improvement—$1.9M - A-East Berm Improvement—$3.3M Miscellaneous Floodwall Improvement—$3M - Bayou Lafourche
Water Retention AEast—$1M - Larose Navigational Lock System— $12M And when the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s (CPRA) 2020 Master Plan came out earlier this year, Governor John Bell Edwards touted all the money GOMESA would fund for projects in south Louisiana. “In the next 12 months alone, over $120 million in GOMESA revenues will be expended to help protect over 2 million Louisianans who live and work along our coast. These investments represent a proactive mindset by the State of Louisiana and CPRA, allowing us to better defend against a hurricane or natural disaster and showing the citizens of our state we cannot and will not wait on someone else to provide us the protection we deserve,� stated Gov. Edwards. But under that plan, SLLD will only get $500,000 for E-North and D-South improvements, while New Orleans will get $14M, Grand Isle is set to receive $15M and Terrebonne $18M. “The annual CPRA plan was not too kind to us, but I had a long discussion with Chip Kline (CPRA Chairman) and we think we’ll get a couple of things changed so we can finish our projects. With the right amount of money and within a couple of years, we can actually finish the construction we decided to do after Hurricane Katrina.�

Those public figures were Ted Falgout, then Executive Director of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission, Clifford Smith, chairman of Billy Tauzin’s finance committee, State Senator Reggie Dupre, representing Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, and Windell Curole of the SLLD which includes all of south Lafourche including Port Fourchon.

Apollo From 1-A
The parade will roll to the theme of Anything Goes and will feature over 15 floats with themes such as The Wizard of Oz, Mash, Star Wars, Toy Story, the Saints, and more. The parade starts at Church and Eighth streets, rolls thru several streets of town and ends at Vacherie Street, just past the Town Hall.
Neptune From 1-A
Jay Cheramie will reign as Neptune LII during this year’s parade on March 5, 2019. Cheramie is a native of Golden Meadow and a 1962 graduate of Golden Meadow High School. He is also a retired oilfield worker as well as a U.S. Air Force Veteran. Cheramie is married to Willie Vegas Cheramie and spends most of his time at his retirement place in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, along with his wife and his trusty dog “Lady”. The King’s pages for this year are Zoey Cheramie of Folsum, La., Laney Alario of Galliano, La., and Shannon Smith of Crystal Springs, Ms. King Neptune LII invites everyone to come and enjoy this year’s parade which starts at the Galliano St. Joseph Church and travels along LA 1 through the town of Golden Meadow on Mardi Gras day, officially closing out the bayou’s Carnival season.
Edwards From 1-A
Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne, the governor’s chief budget adviser, said leaving out money expected to reach state coffers “would not be in the public’s best interest.” “It is divorced from reality,” Dardenne, who presented the proposal for Edwards, told the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget. The state’s general operating budget would grow to $30.4 billion next year, an increase of about $800 million in spending, under the Edwards proposal. Much of the increase would come from additional federal financing that pours into the Medicaid program. With expected spending on legislative and judicial agencies and capital construction, next year’s total budget would reach $31.8 billion. Edwards is proposing more than $140 million in spending boosts for K12 education, including a $1,000 across-the-board pay raise for public school teachers and a $500 salary bump for school support workers. Other dollars would go to block grants for school districts. The governor also recommends $11 million in new public college spending and full financing for the TOPS free college tuition program. State employees would get another round of salary hikes, under a plan adopted last year. The juvenile corrections system would get more money for operations, as would the social services and child welfare agency. Medicaid would continue its significant spending growth. Though the money to pay for the proposal
Wednesday, February 27, 2019 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE
isn’t officially recognized, lawmakers largely glossed over that point Friday, suggesting they expect all — or at least most — of it to be available for spending. Several legislators seemed relieved to talk about teacher raises and education investments after a decade of worries over budget shortfalls. “I see sunshine,” said Sen. Gerald Long, a Winnfield Republican. State law requires the Revenue Estimating Conference, the state income forecasting panel, to “revise the official forecast for the ensuing fiscal year” by January. But that hasn’t happened. Across four months, House Speaker Taylor Barras or his surrogate has blocked the income forecast changes suggested by economists and sought by Edwards and Republican Senate President John Alario. The changes would make more money available for spending.
Barras said he’s being cautious, saying he doesn’t want to promise agencies money he doesn’t feel assured will arrive. He defended his stance Friday. “The later we wait in the year, the better we get” in our revenue forecasts, said Barras, a New Iberia banker. Edwards calls the move political, amid three years of financial disputes between the Democratic administration and the House GOP leadership. “There’s a little gamesmanship going on ... and we’re going to get past it,” the governor said on his monthly radio show. Release of the governor’s budget proposal kicks off financial negotiations with lawmakers, who will craft a final version of next year’s spending plans in the upcoming legislative session that begins April 8.
The Nicholls Foundation is hosting a 24hour day of giving on March 19 and allows members of the community to donate directly to student organizations, academic departments and athletics. “This was a very fun event last year, and we have a lot of people on campus excited about this year. We‘re anxious to see what kind of results we’re going to get,” said Jeremy Becker, executive director of the Nicholls Foundation. Donors can give as little or as much as they want to, spreading donations out to as few or as many organizations as
they like. Every cent goes directly to the donor’s organization of choice. A block party will be held just outside of the student union with food, games and prizes for students participating in the fundraiser. Last year, the event raised more than $85,000 from 850 donations. This year, Becker said, the goal is to get 100 organizations participating, 1,000 donors and raise $100,000. For more information or to sign up, call Becker at 448-4006, or email him at jeremy.becker@nicholls. edu or visit www.GiveNDay.org.

Vision Communications along with other businesses help local food bank LAROSE, LA – Vision Communications recently partnered with several local businesses to help the Catholic Community Center’s food bank replenish much needed stock after a busy holiday season. Since the food bank’s busiest season is usually October thru December, Vision Communications, Frank’s Supermarkets, The Lafourche Gazette, Coastal Broadcasting ESPN 100.3/KLEB 1600, and Larose Civic Center collected nonperishable items for the Galliano-based Catholic Community Center. Food bins were setup for the public to donate items at Frank’s in Larose, Golden Meadow and Lockport, and Vision Communications’ customer center in Larose. According to Susan Terrebonne, Manager of the Catholic Community Center, many families in the area would not enjoy a holiday meal if it weren’t for the hard work of the center’s volunteers and the generosity of the South Lafourche community. “From January to October, we have helped over 2000 families with
food. We depend on our community to help us to fill the shelves beyond what we can purchase,” says Terrebonne. “In past years, Vision Communications, along with the many dedicated businesses of our area have helped us tremendously in restocking the shelves, and we’re humbly asking for help from our community throughout the year. We would like everyone to know that it is not expected, but it is very much appreciated.” The Catholic Community Center is located at 9018 East Avenue A in Galliano. They accept non-perishable food items, clothing and other household items. A convenient dropoff bin is located in front of the main entrance allowing donations to be made even after hours.

He was a native of Grand Isle, Louisiana born on August 25th, 1944 and lived a life being proud of telling people of his time on the Island. He loved fishing, trawling, and spending time with family and friends. He was a hard worker, loving husband, wonderful father, grandfather, and great grandfather to his children and step-children.

Louisiana company accused of illegally giving $100K to PAC
CUT OFF, La. (AP) — A Louisiana company is named in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission that says the business broke the law by making a $100,000 contribution to a conservative political action committee. NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports a Campaign Legal Center complaint says Alpha Marine Services donated to the Congressional Leadership Fund while the company held federal government contracts. According to FEC quarterly reports, the donation was made in June 2018, when Alpha Marine held multiple contracts worth more than $35 million from the U.S. Department of Defense. Alpha Marine is a subsidiary of Edison Chouest Offshore, and provides towing and marine supports to the military. Campaign Legal Center’s Brendan Fischer says comparable prior complaints have led to contributions being returned. The PAC and Edison Chouest didn’t respond to the newspaper’s interview requests. ___ Information from: The TimesPicayune, http://www.nola.com
Lady Tarpons fall short in Quarterfinals Gazette Sports Reports
The South Lafourche girls’ basketball team will not be going to the Top 28 for a secondstraight season. But they sure put a scare in the No. 1 team in the state on their way out the postseason. The Lady Tarpons lost 60-42 to No. 1 Benton last Thursday night, ending the Lady Tarpons’ season one win short of a secondstraight berth in the Top 28. South Lafourche challenged the Lady Tigers throughout the game, leading a lot of the first half. But Benton’s pressure man-to-man defense smothered the Lady Tarpons in the second half and allowed them to survive. South Lafourche coach Rainie Terrebonne said she’s disappointed in the loss, but said it doesn’t remove any of the pride she has in the 2018-19 season, one which she said was an unquestioned success for she and her youthful team, which featured several underclassmen in key roles. “We started this season as little girls and finished the season as young ladies,” Terrebonne said. “This team accomplished a lot more than what people thought they would.” And they put a scare in the No. 1 team in the state on their way out. South Lafourche started a little slow early, falling behind 10-4 in the opening minutes, but closing the first quarter on a 13-4 surge to take a 17-14 lead after one. But the Lady Tigers changed their defense after the quarter, switching from a loose zone defense to a tight man-to-man. That alignment shift caused chaos for South Lafourche, taking the team completely out of rhythm on the offensive side of the floor. South Lafourche didn’t score for the first four minutes of the second quarter, allowing Benton to re-take the lead. The Lady Tarpons tied the game at 21-all with 3 minutes to go in the first half, but the Lady Tigers closed the
half with a flurry, finishing on a 9-0 run to take a 30-21 halftime lead. Benton got two offensive rebounds off missed free throws in the surge, turning both into second-chance points. Terrebonne said before the game that rebounding would be a key to the game and she was right. In those moments where the Lady Tarpons faltered, the Lady Tigers took full advantage. In the second half, another scoring drought plagued South Lafourche. They went without a basket for the first two minutes and 30 seconds of the third quarter, which allowed Benton to balloon their lead into double-digits. South Lafourche cut the deficit to 8 with two minutes to go in the third quarter with a short surge, but the Lady Tigers grabbed complete control in the final minutes of the third and into the fourth quarter with a surge to take a 44-31 lead at the end of the third quarter and a 49-31 lead with six minutes to go in regulation. South Lafourche picked up the pace and tried to respond, but couldn’t. In the final minutes of the game, Terrebonne let all four seniors, Sierra Lerille, Tristen Boudreaux, Lanie Kiger and Abigail Bouzigard, see the floor to finish the game out. The loss ends South Lafourche’s season with a 23-8 record. As for Benton? They continued their journey on Tuesday night against a familiar foe to the Lady Tarpons, district rival Ellender.
