Over 200 volunteers picked up over two tons of trash, enough to fill a 30-yard dumpster, at Elmer’s Island last month as a part of International Coastal Cleanup Day. Hosted by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Nicholls State University and the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, volunteers at the annual event held Sept. 16 picked up 4,007.8 pounds of trash. The most common trash collected was 3,441 plastic bottles, followed by tiny plastic pieces and plastic bottle caps. Although a lot of the debris was from visitors of Elmer’s beach not disposing of their trash, the majority comes from other places, said Allyse Kerrara, a Nicholls biology professor who helped organize the event. Because the island is close to the mouth of Bayou Lafourche, it could have washed down the bayou or come in from offshore. “People really need to learn to properly dispose of trash because it ends up on our beaches. Even if it is improperly disposed of in inland areas, it can wash down waterways and end up in the ocean,” Kerrara said. “By 2050, some experts See Cleanup Page 5-A

First Annual Adoration on the Bayou Eucharistic Procession to take place this weekend up Bayou Lafourche Holly McKeon, Contributing Writer
A beautiful day of adoration during a Eucharistic Procession for the faithful is coming to Bayou Lafourche this upcoming weekend! The three-part succession, which is open to the public, includes boating from Golden Meadow to Larose, followed by a vehicle procession to Thibodaux’s St. Joseph’s Cemetery and ending by foot at St. Joseph’s Co-Cathedra also in Thibodaux. The event is the first annual Adoration on the Bayou, the “Foi de Nos Peres” (Faith of our Fathers) Eucharistic Procession and will take place this Saturday, October 7, which is the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary. The day will begin with an 8:00 a.m. mass at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church in Golden Meadow. Following mass, the devoted will travel up the bayou by boat. Participants can decorate their boats with the names of
their respective church parishes, organizations, family names, or crests. Registered boats will stop at other Catholic churches to include St. Joseph’s in Galliano, Sacred Heart in Cut Off until reaching Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Larose. Upon arrival, the priest with the Blessed Sacrament will disembark and bless all participating boats. The priest will then begin to process by foot to Holy Rosary Church. At this time, all registered boats will enjoy a boxed lunch, signifying the end of the boating procession and beginning of the second succession. After lunch, the second succession will begin by vehicle, embarking to St. Joseph’s Cemetery. Stops along the way include Lockport Holy Savior; Saint Hilary’s in Mathews, St. Mary’s Cemetery in Raceland, and St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Thibodaux. See Procession Page 5-A
Festival of Old Times is back this weekend
The 4th Annual “La Fete des Vieux Temps”, or Festival of Old Times, will once again be held this weekend, October 6, 7 and 8, on the grounds of the Lafourche Parish Tourist Center in Raceland at the junction of LA 1 and Highway 90. Craft booths will line the entrance to the existing pavilion already on the site, housing both bands and food booths. The festival centers on and spotlights preserving the culture of the community. Beverages will be plenty with beer and soft drinks on the list. The Festival will also feature great
Cajun food, live music, pay-one-price rides, several booths of handmade crafts, an old fashioned hog boucherie, a Sauce Piquante cook off, kettle corn, a cane syrup mill, and auctions. What makes this festival different than most festivals will be the demo area. Featured attractions include boats from the Traditional Wooden Boats Museum, basket weaving, moss doll and garfish demos, sugar cane syrup cooking, along with dancing from members of the United Houma Nation. And don’t forget the Cajun dancing! See Festival Page 5-A

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The victims just kept coming. In cars, in ambulances waiting four or five deep, from the walking wounded to the barely alive, they arrived in droves. “I have no idea who I operated on,” said Dr. Jay Coates, a trauma surgeon whose hospital took in many of the wounded after a gunman opened fire from his 32nd-floor hotel suite Sunday night on a country music concert below. “They were coming in so fast, we were taking care of bodies. We were just trying to keep people from dying.” It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, with at least 59 killed and 527 injured, some by gunfire, some during the chaotic escape. University Medical Center of Southern Nevada was one of many hospitals that were overflowing. “Every bed was full,” Coates said. “We had people in the hallways, people outside and more people coming in.” He said the huge, horrifying wounds on his operating table told him this shooting was something different. “It was very clear that the first patient I took back and operated on that this was a high-powered weapon,” Coates said. “This wasn’t a normal street weapon. This was something that did a lot of damage when it entered the body cavity.” The gunman, 64-year-old high-stakes gambler and retired accountant Stephen Paddock, killed himself as authorities stormed his See Shooting Page 5-A

He asked her about the unusual contents. “When we were married,” she said, “My grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.” The little old man was so moved he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with joy and happiness. “Sweetheart,” he said, “that explains the doilies, but what about all this money?

Procession From 1-A
The third and final sequence will be by foot from St. Joseph’s Cemetery to the Thibodaux Co-Cathedral for Vespers and Benediction. What better way to sanctifying the remainder of such a special day? Eucharistic Processions such as this are prevalent throughout Catholic history. Pope Julius III approved this Catholic rite of adoration on October 11, 1551. Considered a festive celebration, the Blessed Sacrament is carried from place to place solemnly. While publically exposed, the faithful followers profess their faith through adoration. Over the years, the Catholic Church has introduced various forms of this type of worship, which are ever increasing in popularity, beauty, and helpfulness to its followers, such as visits to the tabernacle, Benediction, and the solemn procession. Processions move through cities, towns, or villages. All the while, the Blessed Sacrament is publically exposed. Processions can be short
or long in nature, lasting up to forty hours. In some places, the adoration rite can continue perpetually, day and night. People living along the route who may be unable to participate in the actual procession, gathering along the bayou to show your support is a great alternative and provides an excellent opportunity to greet the Blessed Sacrament as it passes. Again, the procession will begin in Golden Meadow to Larose via registered boats, Larose to St. Joseph’s Cemetery by vehicle and St. Joseph’s Cemetery to St. Joseph’s Co-Cathedral in Thibodaux. Registered boats must be in the bayou and ready to proceed at 8:30 a.m., which is thirty minutes before the departure from Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church in Golden Meadow. Participants will end the day with Vespers and Benediction at approximately 6:20 p.m. at the Co-Cathedral in Thibodaux. For more information on the procession, or to register a boat, emails may be sent to iduet@htdiocese.org or contact Michelle Parr at 985-227-7754. Interested parties may also contact any church offices along the route.
Shooting From 1-A
hotel room at the Mandalay Bay hotel casino. He had 23 guns — some with scopes — in the room where he had been staying since Thursday. He knocked out two windows to create sniper’s perches he used to rain bullets on the crowd of 22,000 some 500 yards away. He also had two “bump stocks” that can be used to modify weapons to make them fully automatic, according to two U.S. officials briefed by law enforcement who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still unfolding. At Paddock’s home, authorities found 19 more guns, explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Also, several pounds of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can be turned into explosives, were in his car, authorities said. The FBI discounted the possibility of international terrorism, even

after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. But beyond that, the motive remained a mystery, with Sheriff Joseph Lombardo saying: “I can’t get into the mind of a psychopath at this point.” While Paddock appeared to have no criminal history, his father was a bank robber who was on the FBI’s mostwanted list in the 1960s. “I can’t even make something up,” his brother in Florida, Eric Paddock, said when asked what might have motivated his brother. “There’s just nothing.” President Donald Trump on Tuesday called the gunman “demented” and a “very, very sick individual.” Asked about gun laws, the president said, “We’ll be talking about gun laws as time goes on.” His muzzle flashes visible in the dark, Paddock began shooting just after 10 p.m. and appeared to fire unhindered for more than 10 minutes, according to radio traffic, as police frantically tried to locate him. “We can’t worry about the victims,” an officer said over the radio at 10:15 p.m. “We need to stop the shooter before we have more victims. Anybody have eyes on him ... stop the shooter.” The crowd, funneled tightly into a wide-open space, had little cover and no easy way to escape. Victims fell to the ground, while others fled in panic. Some hid behind concession stands or crawled under parked cars. Faces were etched with shock and confusion, and people wept and wailed. Some of the injured were hit by shrapnel. Others were trampled or were injured jumping fences. “It was chaos — people just running for their lives. People trying to get down. Trying to get to their loved ones that had gotten hit,” Shaun Topper said. Marie Langer, 16, of Las Vegas, got to the concert early so she could get to the very front of the venue, closest to the stage. That meant she and her friends were among the last to get out, and could hear shots ringing and people screaming the entire time she was trying to flee. She finally had to climb a fence with points on the top of metal bars designed to prevent people from getting over it. “We had no other option,” she said. Tales of heroism and compassion emerged quickly: One man grasped the hand of a dying stranger as the man died, unable to pull himself away despite the danger. Another borrowed a flannel shirt from a man he didn’t know to create a tourniquet for a girl he didn’t know. Couples held hands as they ran. The healthy carried the bleeding off the grounds. Strangers drove victims to hospitals in their own cars. Authorities put out a call for blood donations and set up a hotline to report missing people and speed the identification of the dead and wounded. They also

estimate more weight of plastics in the ocean than fish.” Jesse Dubose, a senior microbiology student at Nicholls, said he was surprised how many people volunteered this year and it showed him people are starting to care about the island. “This isn’t where I grew up, but it’s close enough to where this is where we would go fishing all the time,” said Dubose, a Prairieville native. “I spent many a summer down there just hanging out on the beaches. This is home, so you have a sense of pride when it comes to it, and you don’t want to see it trashed or overly eroded. I have a sense of wanting to take care of it personally.” He was also surprised at some of the more unusual items found on the beach, such as an 80-pound tar ball and a boat water heater. The Elmer’s Island Wildlife Refuge was restored as a part of the Caminada Headland Restoration Project. The island was reopened to the public last fall after the more than $200 million project. The project was paid for by state tax money and payments from BP from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It aimed to protect Port Fouchon, a nearby oilfield hub, and people’s homes and businesses from storm surge by restoring more than 800 acres of shoreline and beach. “It was just incredible for us and our students and the volunteers that had seen Elmer’s Island before it was restored to actually go out there and see how incredible the place looks,” Kerrara said. “We basically want to get our students and the general public out into our incredibly beautiful habitats to experience them, to appreciate them and to help restore them.” — Staff Writer Holly Duchmann can be reached at 857-2205 or holly.duchmann@houmatoday.com.

Louisiana state troopers demoted for Las Vegas road trip By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Two Louisiana state troopers are being demoted for a pricey road trip they took to a law enforcement conference in San Diego in which they improperly billed thousands of dollars for overtime and expenses, including a side trip to Las Vegas, the state police announced Monday. The agency released the demotion letters after wrapping up its internal investigation into the 2016 trip, which found the officers charged the state for hours they spent sleeping, sightseeing and playing golf. The demotions take effect immediately and come with hefty pay cuts for the men. Capt. Derrell Williams, who already had been reassigned from a higher rank, was dropped another rung to lieutenant, and Lt. Rodney Hyatt was demoted to sergeant. Williams’ salary will fall more than $15,000 to $109,100 a year, and Hyatt’s pay will drop by nearly $9,500 to $90,300 annually, according to the demotion letters. The disciplinary letters describe the troopers driving to the October 2016 conference in San Diego with a state-owned SUV in an indirect route, diverting to a Las Vegas casino re-
sort, the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. The letters say the officers overbilled for their travel expenses and working hours. For example, the letter to Hyatt says the trooper initially claimed to have worked “88 straight hours” at one point including 56 hours of overtime, and then another 56 hours straight that included 30 hours of overtime. Both men, according to the demotion letters, charged for higher-level meals than were allowed in the places they stayed and received reimbursement for hotel costs that exceeded the permissible rates. Two other, lowerlevel troopers also were disciplined though not demoted. The state police’s former superintendent, Mike Edmonson, retired in March after coming under increasing criticism for his leadership of the agency and, particularly, for accusations of lax spending practices — including the San Diego trip. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Tarpons, Trojans both take home wins Friday night Gazette Staff Reports
We’ve waited all season for this. Finally, both South Lafourche and Central Lafourche have won in the same week. The Tarpons crushed Vandebilt, 3414, on Friday night, using dominant rushing and timely defense to upset the Terriers, who were undefeated before the game. While the Tarpons did that, the Trojans worked their magic, as well, beating Ellender, 35-26, to complete the local sweep and keep area football fans happy. With the wins, South Lafourche is now 3-2 on the season, while the Trojans are 2-3. The Tarpons improved to 2-0 in district play with the victory.
Tarpons show their muscle against Vandebilt South Lafourche pushed Vandebilt around on Friday night. And it made coach Blake Forsythe awfully proud to see. The Tarpons controlled both lines of scrimmage throughout the game, gutting the Terriers for consistent rushing yards offensively, while generating a pass rush defensively to annoy Vandebilt quarterback Andrew Robison. South Lafourche struck first with a DaMarcus Caine interception, which turned

into a Corbin Allen touchdown to go up 7-0. After another Caine interception, quarterback Brock Bailleaux found Caine on a deep fly, which turned into another big play and a 13-0 lead. The Tarpons never looked back. In the second quarter, Vandebilt got a score on a short touchdown run from Brennan Rogers, but South Lafourche answered with one of its own – a touchdown run from Bailleaux, which made the score 20-7, a lead which held until halftime, thanks to a latehalf surge from the Tarpons’ defense. “I think there’s not any one thing. It was just an old-fashioned butt whooping,” Vandebilt coach Jeremy Atwell said. “In all three phases, they took it to us. They were more physical. They protected the football and their kids made plays. Our hats are off to them. They came in here and took it to us.” In the second half, South Lafourche picked up where it left off. Alex Lafont scored on a tough run late in the third quarter to put the Tarpons up 27-7. After a late bomb from Robison to Cruz Theriot cut the advantage to 2714, South Lafourche controlled the rest of the game, pushing the pile forward for consistent short runs, which kept Vandebilt off the field. Drake Billiot scored the Tarpons’ last touchdown of the game midway through the fourth quarter to increase the lead to 34-14. He then drove in the dagger on the next possession with an interception of Robison, which allowed the Tarpons to run out the clock. After the game, South Lafourche players celebrated the win with fans who packed Buddy Marcello Stadium to support the visiting team.
Some fans admittedly were surprised that the Tarpons scored such a sound victory over an undefeated team. But Forsythe was not. He knew his group had this in them all along. “I’ve told the kids all year that they have a chance to be a special group if it all comes together,” Forsythe said. “We challenged them before the game and they responded to it and answered the bell. It was a good win for our program.” The Tarpons will host Assumption on Friday night. ___ Trojans roll past Ellender
It took five games, but the Central Lafourche football team has finally shaken its first half woes – well, sort of, at least. The Trojans did fall behind Ellender 7-0, then 14-7 in the first half of Friday’s game, but they battled back and grabbed control of the game before halftime to help spark their victory. After the early deficit, Central Lafourche scored 15straight points in the second quarter to take a 22-14 halftime lead – the last play coming on a short field goal from kicker Gavin Lasseigne. Throughout the first half, the Trojans were efficient in their passing game with quarterback Jacob Barker routinely finding David Robinson and other open receivers for big plays down the field. When the Trojans weren’t passing it, they were successfully running it. Sophomore Deon Jenkins had a big day, rushing for well more than 100 yards in the win. “It was good that we were able to get that balance offensively – having some good success both running it and throwing it,” Trojans coach Keith Menard said. “Jacob played well for us tonight. We completed some passes down the field and I think up front, our line did a nice job giving our guys holes and time to throw.” In the second half, Ellender struck first on a touchdown to cut the lead to 22-20 late in the
third quarter. But Central Lafourche came back and took over the game for good on a lengthy touchdown drive capped with a pass from Barker to Robinson, which put Central Lafourche ahead two scores – 29-20. Ellender cut the Trojans’ lead to 29-26 with five minutes left on a deep touchdown pass to Kobe Hartman, but the Trojans iced it for good on the very nice drive, capped by a short touchdown run from Robinson, which clinched the win. Ellender drove forward on the next sequence, but Central Lafourche stopped the Patriots on a turnover on downs to clinch a victory. “It was a good win from our football team and we’re awfully proud of the kids,” Menard said. “We’re 2- 3 at the midway point and we have an awfully young football team. I think our challenges are to just keep getting better and to keep responding to the challenges that are ahead.” The Trojans will take on H.L. Bourgeois on Friday night in a return to District 7-5A play.
Arvello takes 4th week of Football contest
In another very tight contest this week, the winner of the fourth week of the Lafourche Gazette Football Contest is Linda Arvello of Lockport. Linda tied with two other entrants with three wrong, but was only one point off the tiebreaker scores. Winners can pick up their prize at the Lafourche Gazette office Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Fridays until 12 noon.

Lamar (1-4, 0-3) cut the gap to 20-7 in the second quarter with a 36-yard touchdown throw from Kendrick King to Kirkland Banks. The Cardinals also got a 4-yard touchdown run from Andrew Allen late in the fourth quarter.
