Helicopter crashes into Gulf killing two

Two people were killed after a helicopter operating between Galliano and Venice crashed into the Gulf of Mexico around noon Sunday, authorities said. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed Nicholas Duplantis, of Houma, was killed in the accident. The pilot, whose name officials are withholding until family members can be identified, was also killed. Bristow Group Inc., owns the Bell 407 helicopter. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragic accident,” said President and CEO Don Miller. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our passengers and crew, so yesterday’s accident deeply affects all of us. We are committed to conducting a full investigation and supporting everyone impacted by this.” LPSO Lt. Brennan Matherne said the aircraft had broken into multiple pieces that were scattered in two debris See Crash Page 3-A

an excellent opportunity to flaunt your shooting skills and proficiency in a friendly yet very competitive team challenge! The annual fundraising competition is not only a great way to boaster shooting abilities but also allows participants a chance to become contributors for a greater good and a cause very close to the event founders, Chad and Trixy Boudreaux’s hearts. Chad explained, “We wanted to do something to help out kids that are in need and also do something to bring our community and culture together.” SDC has accomplished both! In the last eight years, the event has raised $200,000 which benefited Give Kids the World and the Center for Pediatric Therapy Scholarship Fund. This year, the Boudreauxs hope to raise $30,000 for the organizations. “We decided on a clay shoot because shooting and hunting is a huge part of our culture, so we can raise money for the charities and have a great time doing something this community loves to do,” said Chad. The hundred shot course, comprised of ten stations with two machines at each location, allows team members ten shots per station. See Shooting Page 3-A

Record-high retention rates lead to continued enrollment growth at Nicholls

A woman who died following an incident at the Raceland Truck Plaza on Friday morning has been identified as 47-year-old Laurie Arcement of Lockport. Arcement was pronounced dead at the scene after being run over by a semi-truck hauling a flatbed. The driver of the semi-truck has been identified as 58-year-old Laurie Arcement Keith Landry of Iowa, Louisiana. No criminal charges have been filed. The incident occurred at 6:09 a.m. on Friday, March 8 in the parking lot of the Raceland Truck Plaza on LA Highway 1 in Raceland. Upon reviewing surveillance video, investigators learned Arcement was sitting on the semi-truck between the cab and the trailer when Landry moved the truck toward the exit of the parking lot. At one point, Arcement fell to the ground, and the trailer rolled over her as it moved forward. Another truck driver reported the incident. Arcement was pronounced dead at the scene. The preliminary investigation revealed Landry was unaware that Arcement was sitting on the truck or that he struck her as he pulled out of the parking lot. Impairment is not suspected to be a factor in the crash, but a standard toxicology report is pending on Landry. No criminal charges have been filed in the case.

Louisiana crawfish season starts slow, but demand still high

CROWLEY, La. (AP) — Louisiana leads the world in crawfish production but cold weather, a shortage of workers to process ocess them and other factors have contributed to o a slow start to o the 2019 season fo fforr the freshwater ater crustacean. Despite expensive prices for crawfish, the demand is high in the first full week of Lent in heavily Catholic South Louisiana, The Acadiana Advocate reported. A cold snap during Mardi Gras last week could deliver another hit to the season this week and the Lenten period that started the day after the Carnival celebrations concluded means even more demand as observing Christians seek seafood while abstaining from other meat. Crawfish prices are as high as $9 a pound in some restaurants. Federal limits on H-2B visas for temporary employees have also left many crawfish processors uncertain if they’ll have enough people to staff plants as the industry, like many others in the U.S., often relies on foreign guest workers. The state’s annual yield of crawfish is more than 100 million See Crawfish Page 3-A

Much of the world adjusts their clocks each spring and fall. In the fall, clocks are fixed on standard time, while in the spring they’re moved forward one hour to daylight saving time, or DST. The rationale behind DST has long been based on energy savings, as the demand for electricity to light homes is related to the times when people go to bed at night and rise in the morning. Studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 1975 determined that moving clocks ahead one hour could save a small amount of energy each day. In New Zealand, power companies registered a 3.5 percent decrease in usage when

daylight savings starts. Even though the energy savings associated with DST can be significant, some suggest those savings come at the expense of human health. Research suggests that a one-hour time change twice a year can significantly throw off humans’ internal clocks. A report conducted by the Massachusetts Legislature in the summer of 2016 found that people lose a significant amount of sleep in the days following DST, which can lead to an increase in both traffic fatalities and on-the-job injuries. Disrupted sleep cycles can leave people restless and coping with anxiety. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found shifts related to

How switching clocks can affect your health

Published by Addy Legendre Circulation 15,700 Published Bi-Weekly Wednesday and Sunday

Knights of Columbus Council #9000 has selected its 2019 Catholic Youth Leadership Award winner from South Lafourche High School. Harley Lee, a senior at SLHS, will now represent the council at district and possibly state competition. Harold Adams (far right), chairman of the council competition, is shown presenting Harley with her monetary award at a recent KC function. Sharing this proud moment with Harley are her parents, (far left) Hud Lee and Heather Duet.

DST led to killing time on the internet and other “loafing” around from lack of energy and motivation. Finnish researchers analyzed more than 10 years of stroke data and its relation to DST. The overall rate of ischemic stroke increased by 8 percent in the first two days after transitioning to DST. Similarly, other issues arise when clocks are switched back to standard time in the fall. Danish researchers found the rate of people seeking care for depression rose for up to 10 weeks after clocks were turned back. Various petitions have been created to urge legislators to maintain DST all year long. The United Kingdombased Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says doing so will reduce road deaths currently caused by darker evenings in autumn and winter. Keeping the time consistent can help avoid body clock resets, may prevent accidents and could increase productivity in the evening hours when the autumn arrives. Only time will tell if turning the clocks back and moving them forward will become a relic of the past.

fields about 200 yards apart. The Coast Guard responded to the crash about 1:42 p.m. with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office also assisting said Coast Guard Petty Officer Lexie Preston of the New Orleans District. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash, NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss said. “It’s currently under active investigation,” Weiss said. “There will be a preliminary report in two weeks detailing what we found in the onscene investigation. But that won’t contain the cause of the crash. The cause won’t come until the end of the investigation, which can take one or two years.” The Houston-based Bristow Group is an aviation company that operates a heliport in Galliano.

Shooting From 1-A

SDC also has a long bird, which is a long, challenging shot. If you hit it, you get a chance to win a 22 rifle in a drawing. There are many other activities beyond the clay shoot. Chad elaborated, “The most popular is called the pooper shoot. The object is to make a tennis ball shot by a potato gun inside the top of a portolet while sitting on a toilet. If you make it in the portolet, you get a chance to win a gun in a drawing. Also, we have a chicken drop, gun pool, half and half, live auction, live music, jumpers for kids, drinks and great food prepared by some of the best cooks on the bayou.” The popular fundraising event gets bigger each year and shows no signs of slowing down! “Our first year we had like twelve teams. At our peek we see up to forty teams! We went from having a hand full of volunteers to over a hundred, and we are very thankful to everyone who helps out SDC in any way,” Chad stated. Chad reflected on the second annual event. “The weather was bad. It rained all day, it was a mess in the back, but everyone still attended, shot, and stayed, supporting the auction. We are just blessed to live in a community such as ours and shows the resilience of the people in our community and how we come together to help each other out even when the circumstances aren’t perfect.” “Trixy and I would like to thank everyone who has donated their time in the past years to make SDC a success! It wouldn’t be possible without all the great people that are willing to help every year. We live in a great giving community, and we are very blessed to live here.” “I would like to thank my wife Trixy, too. She is the backbone of SDC, and I couldn’t do this event without her! Also, want to let every-

one know they can still attend if they don’t shoot. It’s a fun family event with great food, music, drinks, fun activities, and auction,” Boudreaux stated. The clay shoot is open to men, women, and children. There are two competition times with the first beginning at 8 a.m. and the second at 12:30 p.m. All skill levels are invited to register. Those interested can email or go by Joe’s Septic Contractors and fill out a registration. It’s $500 per team or $125 per person with individuals placed on a team. Shooters under 16 must have a hunter’s safety ID and be accompanied by an adult. All proceeds benefit Give Kids the World and the Center for Pediatric Therapy Scholarship Fund. Chad stressed a reminder that all registered shooters must stay until the end of the competition if they want a chance to win the twelve-gauge shotgun. The winner is drawn by name right after the auction. Auction items are still needed and much appreciated! To donate an auction item, for more information or to register, please call 985632-5591 or email shootingdacrap@gmail.c om. The competition course is located at Joe’s Septic Contractors, 15360 Hwy. 3235, in Cut Off.

Crawfish

owns Acadia Crawfish Co. in Crowley. He believes frequent rainfall in August and September caused crawfish to come out of the ground early and begin laying eggs before farmers were ready to flood their fields. “We’re optimistic that production will pick up, but Mother Nature has not been very friendly to us this year,” Broussard said. ___ Information from: The Advocate, http://theadvocate.com

Nicholls From 1-A

This spring, Nicholls fall-to-spring retention rate is 89.4 percent, breaking the previous high of 88.3 percent in Spring 2016, and continuing a run of retention rates of 87 to 86 percent or higher over the last four years. A number of initiatives have been implemented to address student advising and mentoring. In the fall, Nicholls announced the creation of its Colonels Retention of Winners Network to help retain freshmen, black males. Fall-to-spring retention for freshman black males increased by 12.4 percent compared to the previous spring. “Here at Nicholls State University, we are committed to changing lives,” said Dr. Jay Clune, Nicholls President. “The CROWN program is having a profound impact on our campus.”

Nicholls to host Sixth Annual Art Works fundraiser

Nicholls State University invites the public to spend a night celebrating the arts at their popular annual fundraiser, Art Works, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tues., April 2 in Talbot Hall. The event will include tours of the studios, interactive learning experiences, a silent auction featuring one-of-akind artwork, live painting from a renowned Louisiana artist, an exhibit of local artists’ work, complimentary hors-d’oeuvres and a cash bar. “I love Art Works because it’s more than just a fundraiser, it’s an event where our alumni, students, faculty, staff and the community come together to support our students and the arts,” said Jean Donegan, art

department head. In the lobby of the Mary and Al Danos Theater, guests can peruse the “Bon Temps” exhibit, featuring unique handpainted birdhouses, garden posts and framed mirrors. Each item was created by alumni, faculty, students and local artists and designers and will be auctioned off during the night. Louisiana’s premier folk artist Alvin Batiste will be on hand and painting live during the event. The Donaldsonville artist has produced more than 8,000 paintings. For those with an interest in arts, Nicholls art students and faculty will be on hand to show tips and tricks to elevate your skills. Hands-on activities and demonstra-

tions will take place throughout the night. New this year, a printing demonstration will take place in the parking lot using a steamroller. Among the artwork on display will be the famous, 105-year old “Blue Dog Steinway” created by renowned artist George Rodrigue. Tickets are $50 per person and all proceeds are put back into the department in the form of scholarships, student exhibits and grants sending students to regional and national conferences. For the second year in a row, artwork will be available for bid online. Supporters unable to attend the event can still bid on many of the items for auction by signing up at nicholls.edu/artworks.

pounds, according to Louisiana State University’s Agricultural Center. Most are harvested between December and June, but March, April and May are peak months. According to the Louisiana Crawfish Promotion and Research Board, more than 7,000 people depend on the industry and the total economic contribution to the state’s economy can exceed $300 million annually. Frank Randol, owner of Randol’s restaurant and its seafood processing business, said he was lucky this year to get 25 H-2B visas for the first time since 2014. He said more than 100,000 people applied for them, crashing the Labor Department’s system Jan. 1. “Every year it’s grown and there’s more demand for a set amount of visas,” he said. Still, business is doing well on Randol’s restaurant side as the demand for the good crawfish they’ve been able to get on tables has their happy hour filling the place and covering costs for a whole shift. Michael Fruge with Cajun Crawfish and Fruge Aquafarms in Branch says the slow start isn’t uncommon because there’s a cycle to farming the Louisiana delicacy. Fruge hopes better numbers on thermometers this month equal better numbers for the shortage. “If it warms up, the crawfish should start reproducing and growing faster,” he said. Scott Broussard

LSU AgCenter gets $1M for research on wetlands roseau cane

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana researchers are getting $1 million for research on a plant that helps hold wetlands in place. The money will let scientists study roseau cane and threats that include rising water and an insect called the roseau cane scale, according to the LSU AgCenter. By understanding how stresses affect the cane, researchers hope to develop restoration plans tailored to specific regions in the delta, LSU AgCenter entomologist Rodrigo Diaz said in a news release. Tall wetland grass is a critical anchor in Louisiana’s eroding coastal marshes and along the birdfoot delta at the Mississippi River’s mouth. Roseau cane is normally one of the most erosion-resistant marsh plants on Louisiana’s coast, thriving in fresh and salty water. But it has been dying off, leaving open water. Diaz and other Ag-

CARE

Center researchers have found that roseau cane health varies around the delta. They think one reason could be that some varieties are resistant to the cane scale, which was first found in the state in 2016. Tests of those varieties are needed to tell the best time of year for planting, which plant species or varieties establish and grow best under a variety of conditions, and how big plants should be to have a good chance of surviving at a reasonable cost. The money is in the federal appropriations bill passed in February. ___

Suspect in Louisiana shooting death arrested in Mississippi

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — A suspect in a 2018 Louisiana killing has been arrested in Mississippi. News outlets in both states say 23-year-old Kevon Southall of Houma was arrested early Monday during a traffic stop by police in Hattiesburg. Police pulled over a car that was reported for being used without authorization. They recovered two firearms from the vehicle. Southall was booked into Forrest County Jail as a fugitive from another jurisdiction. He

also was charged with possession of a weapon by a felon. Southall is one of five suspects in a shooting that wounded one man and killed 20-yearold Alex Morena of Galliano in October. The other four suspects were arrested. Southall faces Louisiana charges of second-degree murder and attempted seconddegree murder. It’s unclear if he has an attorney who could comment. ___

Saints agree to 2-year extension with LB Craig Robinson

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints have agreed with linebacker Craig Robinson on a two-year contract extension. The seven-year NFL veteran, whose deal was announced Monday, has played both defense and special teams since signing with the Saints as an unrestricted free agent in 2016. Robertson has been a team captain the past two years. He has started 27 games for the Saints, recording 218 tackles, four sacks and three interceptions. He made 10 tackles and a sack in 16 games last season, but some of his biggest plays came on special teams. Robertson recovered a blocked punt against Atlanta and also made stops on a fake field goal and a fake punt play in 2018. The former North Texas player was originally signed to the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad near the end of the 2011 season. The Saints didn’t release contract terms.

G.M. fugitive apprehended after police pursuit Thurs.

A Golden Meadow fugitive was arrested following a pursuit in the South Lafourche area Thursday. Gage Gisclair, 43, was wanted in connection with a domestic incident which occurred in Golden Meadow in February 2019. He faces additional charges following the pursuit. Just before 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, deputies traveling on LA Hwy. 308 in Larose observed Gisclair driving a black truck. Knowing him to have an active warrant, deputies attempted to initiate a traffic stop on LA 308 when Gisclair failed to pull over and continued driving south on LA 308. He eventually stopped the truck on LA 308 near East 7th Street in Larose. When deputies exited their car and approached his truck, Gisclair sped away. He proceeded to LA Hwy. 3235 at a high rate of speed and traveled south. He continued to the 200 block of West 56th Street in Cut Off where he struck a vehicle parked in a driveway. He then traveled another 50 yards into a field where his vehicle became stuck. At that time, deputies took Gis-

Gage Gisclair

clair into custody. Deputies asked Gisclair whether there was anything illegal inside his vehicle, and he said he was not sure. A K-9 unit arrived on the scene and alerted to the possible presence of narcotics inside the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, deputies located methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, two types of pills, and various drug paraphernalia. Gisclair was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux on the active warrant for Golden Meadow Police which included charges of Domestic Abuse Battery Involving Burning, Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault, and Violation of a Protective Order. He was also booked on charges from Thursday’s incident including Aggravated Flight from an Officer and Possession with the Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine and Heroin, and Possession of Marijuana, a Schedule III Controlled Dangerous Substance, a Legend Drug, and Drug Paraphernalia. His bail had not been set as of press time.

The second edition of the College of Arts and Sciences fundraiser will be Friday, March 22 at 6 p.m. in the newly renovated Cotillion Ballroom in the Bollinger Student Union.
