Louisiana Govenor race goes to runoff

Three new faces will represent the area in the state’s House and Senate, joining two incumbents.

None of the races required a runoff election.

Houma-area businessman Michael “Big Mike” Fesi won the Senate District 20 seat amid a five-candidate field and will replace state Sen. Norbert “Norby” Chabert in the Legislature.

Unofficial, but complete results are as follows: State Senate District 20:

Edwards

Rispone

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — John Bel Edwards’ bid for a second term as the Deep South’s only Democratic governor will be decided in November, after Louisiana voters Saturday sent him to a runoff in a race that became heavy with national politics in the final days.

Edwards will face Republican businessman Eddie Rispone in the Nov. 16 runoff.

In addition to keeping the governor’s race going for five more weeks, Louisiana vot-

ers reelected five of the six Republican statewide elected officials running for another term, sending the sixth to a runoff.

They also decided whether to rewrite four provisions in the state constitution.

All candidates, regardless of party, ran against each other on the same ballot. Runoff elections are held among the top two vote-getters in each competition if no candidate reaches more than 50% of the vote.

GOVERNOR’S RACE Edwards faced five opponents on the ballot, though the competition focused on two major Republican challengers: Rispone, of Baton Rouge, who has spent millions of his own wealth on the race, and Ralph Abraham, a third-term congressman and doctor from northeast Louisiana.

Both GOP contenders suggested Edwards is out of step with Louisiana, saying taxes he supported to balance the budget are too high and are chasing peo-

ple and businesses from the state.

Edwards says Louisiana is rebounding from an economic recession and a decade of budget crises after a bipartisan tax deal ended the state’s financial instability. He’s touting fewer people uninsured after he expanded Medicaid and a decline in the state’s prison population after a legislative overhaul of criminal sentencing laws.

The candidates have spent more than $24 million on the race, and outside PACs have added millions more in TV advertising, digital media spots and mailers.

OTHER STATEWIDE SEATS Five Republican incumbents won reelection to their statewide positions: Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, Attorney General Jeff Landry, Treasurer John Schroder, Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon and Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain. GOP Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin was forced into a runoff.

New floodgate will provide stronger flood protection Windell Curole South Lafourche Levee District

The intersection of LA Highway 1 and the Larose to Golden Meadow Hurricane Protection Project, south of Golden Meadow, has been greatly improved by the construction of the new floodgate over the road ramp.

Picciola & Associates, Inc. designed the ramp and gate to correct the previous substandard design of the road ramp, and a gate to improve the flood reliability with the use of a steel swing gate. In the closed position, the gate protects the road to an 18 ft. elevation.

Besides better flood protection for the people and structures inside the system, the gate allows the South Lafourche Levee District to keep the roadway open for a longer period to allow more vehicles to enter the protection system.

Before this project, the levee district had to prepare by mobilizing equipment, getting sand in place and filling Hesco Baskets with the sand. This took place hours before strong winds could be expected.

With the new gate in place, the highway can now be closed within minutes of making the decision to close. For the same reasons, reopening the highway can occur within minutes after the decision to re-open is made. This results in the highway being open much longer prior to the event.

Having the steel gate in place will also offer the people of Grand Isle and Port Fourchon more time to enter the levee system. Having that same steel gate in place will offer the people and property inside the system much stronger and reliable protection.

Floodgate From 1-A

An elevated ramp to 18 ft. was the original intent, but engineering studies indicated that the weight of the proposed ramp would cause movement of the Leon Theriot Lock and I-wall structures. For that reason, a safe 12 ft. elevation ramp with a 6 ft. high steel gate became the constructed project which now provides an 18 ft. elevation.

Funding for the project was provided by the taxpayers of the South Lafourche Levee District who provided $1.5M for the project, along with Gov. John Bell Edwards, Sen. Norby Chabert and Rep. Jerry “Truck” Gisclair who assisted in acquiring $1M of state funding needed to complete the project.

National World War II Museum opening academic building

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The National World War II Museum’s $33 million education and outreach building will open Thursday.

After an opening ceremony, it will break ground for its final exhibit hall and hold an open house at the new building, called the Hall of Democracy.

It features a research library, classrooms, an auditorium, the Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, and the WWII Media and Education Center.

There’s also a spe-

cial exhibit gallery. The opening exhibition is about the capture, extradition and trial of Adolf Eichmann, who played a major part in the Nazi mass executions of Jews.

The new building is the museum’s sixth, including three exhibit pavilions, a theater and a restoration building.

Its 239-room hotel and conference center is expected to open in late fall.

2 injured after Louisiana road collapses, devours car BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) — A car in Louisiana was swallowed by a sinkhole when the roadway collapsed, injuring the occupants of the car.

News outlets report the roadway caved in at a major intersection in Bossier City Thursday leaving a 10-foot (3 me-

ters) deep hole in an eastbound turning lane.

City Spokeswoman Traci Landry says the two people in the car had non-life threatening injuries.

Department of Transportation and Development Spokeswoman Erin Buchanan says the cave-in was caused by water flow issues in the sewer. She says there’s water flowing where it shouldn’t.

Buchanan says the road will be fixed once the department determines where the water is coming from and how to stop it.

Drivers are advised to proceed with caution in the area

Govenor From 1-A

Donelon faced the fiercest competition, an intraparty challenge from Tim Temple, who’s worked in the insurance industry for 20 years and put $1.8 million of his own money into the race. But Donelon, in office since 2006, secured a fourth term as commissioner.

Few other opponents to the GOP incumbents had done significant fundraising.

Nungesser easily gained a second term, defeating Willie Jones, a New Orleans Democrat.

Landry, also in his first term, bested Ike Jackson Jr., a Democrat from Plaquemine and lawyer who once worked in the attorney general’s office.

Schroder, a former state lawmaker who won his position in a 2017 special election, overcame two opponents, including New Orleans area lawyer Derrick Edwards, who unsuccessfully challenged Schroder two years ago.

Strain, a veterinarian in office since 2008, won outright against four people vying to unseat him, including Charlie Greer, a Natchitoches Parish farmer and Democrat who ran unsuccessfully in 2015.

Strain’s other challengers also were farmers: New Orleans vegetable and flower farmer Marguerite Green and Lettsworth tree farmer Peter Williams are Democrats, while rice and crawfish farmer Bradley Zaunbrecher from Egan is a Republican.

But Ardoin, who worked as a top deputy in the secretary of state’s office before winning the job in last year’s special election, will face a rematch in November against Gwen Collins-Greenup. The Democrat from Clinton, who has worked in notary and real estate businesses, lost to Ardoin in the 2018 runoff.

Amendment 1, which would have created a property tax exemption for certain raw materials and other maintenance items headed for oil and gas drilling work in the Gulf of Mexico’s Outer Continental Shelf.

They supported Amendment 2 to broaden how money from a state education fund can be used, allowing spending on three additional schools and educational programming from Louisiana Public Broadcasting.

They supported Amendment 3 to widen the authority of the state tax appeals board to let the appointed board members determine whether certain tax and fee measures are constitutional, without a taxpayer having to go to court to settle a tax dispute. The Board of Tax Appeals decision could be appealed to the courts, or a taxpayer could still take a disagreement directly to court instead.

They rejected Amendment 4, which would have let the city of New Orleans exempt properties with up to 15 residential units from property taxes, as an incentive to create affordable housing.

LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT In the runoff, voters in the New Orleans area will choose a new associate Supreme Court justice to fill a seat left vacant when former Justice Greg Guidry was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to a lifetime federal judgeship.

The top two votegetters advancing to the November election were: Will Crain, a state appeals court judge from Madisonville, and Hans Liljeberg, a state appeals court judge from Metairie.

Webre

From 1-A

The sheriff, who ran unopposed in his last two elections, said the victory was a validation for his entire department. “It’s a very exuberant feeling and it’s a feeling of validation from what we have done and what we have said throughout the course of the campaign,� Webre said shortly after Saturday’s election results were announced. “We’ve endeavored to run a positive campaign based on qualifications and accomplishments.

It was very refreshing to see that voters responded very overwhelmingly with a landslide victory.�

In the battle of the two Craigs, both candidates agreed that drug dealers are a problem in Lafourhce but disagreed on how to combat them.

Webre said his department has used prevention, intervention and enforcement strategies to stem drug abuse while Jaccuzzo claimed there has been little to no progress made in reducing drug abuse.

Jaccuzzo also made multiple claims on social media that Webre did not have a permanent residence in Lafourche Parish, an allegation the sheriff emphatically denied.

Webre accused Jaccuzzo of spreading baseless propaganda to influence voters. The sheriff said he hopes his landslide victory sends a clear message. “The voters rejected the nasty, dirty, untrue and seedy politics of my opponent,� Webre said. “This sends a strong message not only to him but to other people who want to seek public office with that that type of campaigning. The people are much smarter than what he gave them credit for.

They could see the facts for themselves and they

weren’t swayed by his lies and hypocrisy.�

Now that the election is over, Webre said he’s looking forward to the next four years. “We’ve stayed proactive, responsive, relevant and cuttingedge,� the sheriff said. “We plan to continue to grow and improve. I’ve enjoyed this election process. It gave me a chance to reconnect with people and places that I don’t see as often.

I’m just so humbled.�

Trojans roll, while Tarpons’ struggles continue GAZETTE SPORTS REPORT

H.L. Bourgeois won, oh, about 20 seconds of Friday night’s game with Central Lafourche.

The rest was all Trojans, improving the team to 5-1 on the season. The Braves ran the opening kickoff of the game to the Trojans’ 5yard-line, then scored on the first offensive snap to go up 6-0.But after that hiccup, the Trojans dominated, scoring 34-straight points to grab control en route to a 48-13 win.

Trojans coach Keith Menard said he was

proud of the way his team played after the rough start, taking care of business on Homecoming Night for the first time in several seasons. “It means a lot to the kids, all wins do, but for us, we set out every year to win all of our home games. And with this one being Homecoming, it has a little extra meaning,” Menard said. “I thought we executed well and did what we had to do to beat a district football team to keep us going in the right direction.”

Senior halfback Deon Jenkins was huge in the win, rushing for 270 yards and four touchdowns in just three quarters of play.

His early touchdown gave the Trojans a 7-6 lead after the H.L. Bourgeois score and started the onslaught of offense. The Trojans also got big plays in the passing game from quarterback Ashtrein Duncan and receivers Logan Wilcox and Jansen Folse, among others, to keep the chains moving. Central Lafourche led 27-6 going to halftime, then kept control of the game in the third quarter, even while battling the weather.

The second half of Friday night’s game was delayed almost an hour by lightning as the weekend cold front swept through the area.

After the delay, Jenkins struck for one more touchdown, then his night was done.

In the fourth quarter, backup tailback Aaron Delaune got into the act with a short score of his own. Both Braves’ touchdowns were scampers from halfback William Babin.

With the win, the Trojans are now 5-1 on the season. Menard said his team is laser focused on the final month of the year.

The Trojans move into a murderer’s row close to the season. In the next 3 weeks, the Trojans will be home just once and will face all three River Parish teams and also Terrebonne.

Menard conceded that the schedule ends with brutal challenges, but said his team embraces it. If the Trojans win the rest of their games and finish 9-1, they will have at least a share of the district title, no matter what else happens around the league.

“We told the kids, ‘Look, we control our destiny,’” Menard said.

“If we take care of what we can take care of, we’re either going to win or have a piece of this thing. So we’re focused on ourselves, getting better and playing our best football here in the

games down the stretch.”

Tarpons fall flat against Vandy All year long, South Lafourche’s plan was to peak at district play.

Well, district play started on Friday, yet little changed.

Like we’ve seen most of the season, the Tarpons played stout defense, but struggled to score, then ran out of steam in the second half of a physical, competitive game.

Vandebilt beat South Lafourche 18-3 on Friday at Buddy Marcello Stadium, thanks to dominant, suffocating defense.

After the game, South Lafourche coach Blake Forsythe didn’t mince words when talking about his team. “We got physically dominated up front at the line of scrimmage on

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

the offensive side of the ball,” Forsythe said.

“On the offensive line, we played really, really bad. We’re going to keep working and keep trying to get better. But right now, we’re having a really hard time up front and it’s hard to win games when you lose at the line of scrimmage.”

The Tarpons had chances, oh, did they ever.

South Lafourche forced two first-quarter Vandebilt turnovers and were in position to take an early lead. But both turnovers went for naught, as Vandebilt’s defense stiffened and kept South Lafourche off the scoreboard. One drive ended with a missed field goal for the Tarpons’ as close as the Tarpons got to points in the first half. Vandebilt

got offense in the second quarter on a touchdown from quarterback Gavin Daigle to go up 60. Late in the half, they added two points to that tally to go up 8-0 on a muffed punt snap which turned into a safety.

In the third quarter, South Lafourche got its only points on a field goal from kicker Jesse Torres, a score setup by Jake Pitre’s second interception of the game.

That made it 8-3.

But Daigle struck again after the kick, pushing into the end zone to cap a long drive to make it 15-3 and virtually out of reach.

In the fourth quarter, the Terriers added a late field goal to send the game to its final margin.

Broussard takes fifth week’s Football Contest

The winner of week five of the Lafourche Gazette Football Contest is Aubrey Broussard of Lockport.

Aubrey tied with another entrant with only two wrong. Her scores were closest to the tie breaker.

Winners can pick up their prize at the Lafourche Gazette office Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday to Fridays until 12noon.
