Volunteers sought for Elmer’s Island Beach cleanup Saturday
Volunteers participate in last year’s cleanup on Elmer’s Island. (BTNEP)
Nicholls State University, in partnership with the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP) and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), are hosting a beach cleanup at Elmer’s Island this Saturday, September 15, and will coincide with the Ocean Conservancy’s Annual International Coastal Cleanup Day and National Estuaries Week. The Elmer’s Island event will start at 10 a.m. and will end around 1 p.m. Volunteers will clean approximately 2.5 miles of shoreline on Elmer’s Island. During the Cleanup volunteers will remove, categorize, and weigh trash and debris. Data will be collated and sent to the Ocean Conservancy to be included in the 2018 International Coastal Cleanup database and report which is scheduled to be released in 2019. “That data will provide useful insight into ways we can reduce the problematic trend of pollution on the shoreline and plastics in our waterways,� Dr. Allyse Ferrara, Jerry Ledet Endowed Professor of Environmental Biology at Nicholls, said in a news release. All volunteers must provide their own transportation to the site and should be aware that vehicles driving south on LA Hwy. 1 must pay the bridge toll which is
$3 for most vehicles. Hosts will supply data sheets and clipboards, garbage bags, and coolers of water to refill reusable water bottles. Participants are asked to bring refillable water bottles to reduce waste generated by the Cleanup. No bottled water will be provided. Volunteers are asked to wear closed toe shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Volunteers are also encouraged to please bring a bucket to collect debris to help reduce the number of garbage bags used for the Cleanup. To register for the International Coastal Cleanup at Elmer’s Island go to https://form.jotform.com/8219610220 8147 to submit your registration. Volunteers under 18 years old must be accompanied by a guardian and must have a guardian sign a waiver at the registration table at the Cleanup. For additional information contact BTNEP at www.BTNEP.org, or call 985447-0868. Last year, 200 volunteers – including 42 students, faculty and staff from Nicholls – collected more than 4,000 pounds of debris and waste. Included in the 15,814 items collected were 3,441 plastic bottles, 2,246 small plastic pieces and an 80-pound tarball.
Louisiana shrimpers’ woes: Prices inch up, catch way down
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana shrimpers are getting a little more money for their catch — but there’s less catch. Nola.com The Times-Picayune reports that a recent uptick in prices of about a nickel per pound averted a shrimpers’ strike. But the Southern Shrimp Alliance says Louisiana’s July shrimp landings — 1.3 million pounds — were the lowest for any July in at least 17 years. It’s unclear why landings were so low.

One theory is that heavy spring and summer rainfall and high river flows put more freshwater into the Gulf of Mexico, pushing shrimp into deeper water. Other possible factors include climate change, pollution, loss of coastal marshes and the Gulf’s low-oxygen “dead zone.� Alabama had record landings for July at 2.2 million pounds. But the Alliance says catches are lower Gulf-wide. Through July 2018, the total 46.9 million pounds of Gulf shrimp caught were more than 2 million pounds lower than the catch for the first seven months of last year, and about 14 percent lower than the historical average, according to the Southern Shrimp Alliance. “There are so many factors right now that you can’t pinpoint one,� said Julie Falgout, Louisiana Sea Grant’s seafood industry liaison. “In the ‘70s, when (landings) were low, you could pinpoint one thing. Now everything’s changing so much, from weather patterns to coastal erosion.� Information from: The TimesPicayune, http://www.nola.com
The Lafourche Parish School Board last week rejected a measure to cut its members’ mileage reimbursements but agreed to cut their internet and technology reimbursements. Board member Julie Breaux said her proposal to cut mileages to and from meetings was a cost-saving measure. But Lafourche resident Barry Plaisance said that would be unfair to some board members. “You got people who come from down the bayou a very long way,� he said. “You’re really asking them to sit here for free? How are you going to continue to keep good people here? At this point you’re going to have to pay them.� Board member Calvin Duet agreed. “We have four people who drive from down the bayou and I have to drive 100 miles,� he said. “We took it upon ourselves to carpool. By carpooling, we save the district $75 to $100 per meeting.� The measure, which would have affected the new School Board members elected in November, failed by a 7-6 vote. See School Board Page 3-A

Analysis: Louisiana elections draw little attention so far By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press
B A T O N ROUGE, La. (AP) — In Louisiana politics, tradition holds that election cycles tend to pick up after Labor Day, with intensified campaign advertising and more attention from voters. But with that holiday benchmark passed and a statewide election fewer than two months away, the major races still seem lowradar, drawing little public notice. Maybe the massive amount of national news about President Trump’s administration and the political wrangling in Washington overshadows everything else. Maybe children returning to school and football returning to television have seized the focus. Maybe Louisiana’s elections just aren’t that interesting this year, with lopsided fundraising in congressional races, only one statewide seat up for grabs, and no highspending governor’s race or U.S. Senate competition to watch. Most congressional incumbents are expected to skate to re-election, and heavily contested seats are being fought among targeted base groups, rather than in broad campaigns. Top of the Nov. 6 ballot are a statewide special election for secretary of state and decisions about Louisiana’s six U.S. House seats. Also up for consideration statewide are six constitutional changes, including a higher-profile-than-usual proposal to end Louisiana’s Jim Crow-era law that allows split juries to convict people of serious felony crimes. Nine candidates are vying to be Louisiana’s secretary of state, a posi-
tion that oversees elections, the state archives, and business registrations. The job, often little noticed, has drawn more attention recently, with elevated national concerns about Russian meddling in elections and ballot security and with Louisiana’s last secretary of state, Republican Tom Schedler, resigning in May amid sexual harassment allegations. Schedler’s top aide, Republican Kyle Ardoin of Baton Rouge, took over after Schedler stepped down. While Ardoin repeatedly said he wouldn’t seek the elected position, he registered to run on the final day of the election sign-up period. Besides Ardoin, other major candidates include Turkey Creek Mayor Heather Cloud, a Republican; Republican former Sen A.G. Crowe of Pearl River; GOP Rep. Rick Edmonds of Baton Rouge; Democrat Renee Fontenot Free of Baton Rouge, who worked as top assistant to two secretaries of state; and Rep. Julie Stokes of Kenner. Cloud, Crowe, and Stokes have poured thousands of their own dollars into the effort. No candidate is expected to top 50 percent support in November, which will push the race into a Dec. 8 runoff. All six of Louisiana’s incumbent congressmen have drawn opponents: Republicans Steve Scalise in the 1st District, Clay Higgins in the 3rd District, Mike Johnson in the 4th District, Ralph Abraham in the 5th District and Garret Graves in the 6th District and Democrat Cedric Richmond in the 2nd District. Candidates running against Abraham, Johnson and Richmond have reported no fundraising so far, according to the Federal Election Commission. Democratic con-
tenders seeking to oust Scalise, Graves and Higgins are more active, seeking donations, holding campaign events and organizing outreach. But they remain far behind in amassing enough money to mount significant advertising campaigns. Scalise, the thirdhighest ranking GOP member of the House, drew five opponents. The two who have raised the most money to oppose him for the southeast Louisiana-based seat are Democrats: Tammy Savoie of New Orleans, a retired Air Force psychologist, and Jim Francis of Covington, who works on computer security systems. Three contenders signed up to run against Graves for the Baton Rouge-based seat, including Justin DeWitt, a Democrat who works for a land surveying company and described himself as the first openly gay candidate to run for a congressional seat in Louisiana. Meanwhile, six challengers are trying to oust Higgins to represent southwest and south central Louisiana. Higgins lags many of his fellow incumbents in fundraising, raising questions about his vulnerability. He’s the only incumbent congressmen in the state to face an intra-party fight, from Republican Josh Guillory, an attorney and Iraq war veteran from Lafayette. Among his Democratic opponents is Mimi Methvin, a lawyer and former federal magistrate judge from Lafayette. Predictions abound for a low-turnout November election, though it’s unclear if it will be as dismal as the 14 percent turnout last year for the special statewide election for treasurer. Political focus already centers more on who will enter the governor’s race, a 2019 competition. ___ EDITOR’S NOTE: Melinda Deslatte has covered Louisiana politics for The Associated Press since 2000.

The cutting of board members’ internet and technology reimbursements takes effect when the next School Board takes office on Jan. 1. “This is like closing the barn after all the horses have gotten out,” said Al Carter, who is running for the School Board District 3 seat. “If you eliminate the stipend, eliminate it now. This is getting a little bit petty with putting all of this on the new board.” Carter said he believes the board members should forfeit their school district retirement and health insurance but not the mileage pay.

Trojans win thriller, while Tarpons struggle against rival Gazette Sports Reports
The beautiful thing about sports is that whether you’re a 70year-fan or a youngster attending your first-ever game, there’s always that chance that you’ll see something you’ve never seen before that leaves you in awe. Just ask the folks who attended Central Lafourche’s game with Carver on Friday night. They were witnesses to one of the wildest, craziest finishes in the history of the Trojans football program. Carver led the Trojans 18-15 late in the fourth quarter and victory seemed imminent for the Rams after the Trojans turned over the ball on downs with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter. But instead of taking a knee and running out the remainder of the time in the game, the Rams opted instead to run the football. When they did, the Trojans took advantage of the strategic mistake, stripping the football and getting possession back for their offense with less than a minute to play. With the ball, Central Lafourche polished off their pigskin miracle, driving the length of the field for the game-winning touchdown, a short run from halfback Deon Jenkins from 4-yards out with 8 seconds on the clock. It was a touchdown which secured an improbable 22-18 win for the Trojans, who are now 2-0 on the season. “We struggled throughout the game, especially offensively,” Central Lafourche football coach Keith Menard said after the win. “But we just kept competing and kept battling and we found a way to win. We thought they were going to take the knee there and wrap it up. But they didn’t. We got the turnover we needed, then took it down the field. It’s just a testa-

ment to the kids. They didn’t quit. They kept fighting and they found a way to get the win.” The last-second heroics helped the Trojans overcome a tough night against a fast, athletic Rams team that was hungry for its first win. Central Lafourche didn’t score in the first half on offense, getting their only points on defense via a safety, which sent the game to halftime with the Rams on top 6-2. In the second half, the Trojans found a little rhythm, generating a pair of touchdowns to go up 15-6 early in the third quarter. But Carver kept competing. The Rams got two-straight touchdowns of their own, the last coming with 2:19 in regulation on a touchdown pass to Ronnie Gray to go ahead 18-15. That lead looked like it was going to stick after the Trojans turned over the ball on downs, handing it back to the Rams, who didn’t need to run any offense at all to secure the win. But the coaching error caused a fumble and gave Central Lafourche extra life, which it took advantage of. On the final drive, quarterback Jacob Barker hit several passes down the field to put the team in position for the heroics from Jenkins, who had another big game. “I told the kids I was so proud of how hard they battled,” Menard said. “We’ve lost so many one-score games here. We’ve lost so many games that have come down to the wire. But for this group to rise to the occasion and find a way to get this one on our side, it’s just a good feeling. But we told them to stay focused and stay humble. It’s a good win, but we didn’t win the Super Bowl. We still have a ways to go.” ___ Tarpons struggle at Thibodaux
team that took full advantage in the win. Forsythe said his team is lacking leadership, especially offensively. The Tarpons haven’t scored an offensive touchdown in their first eight quarters of the season. “Right now, we need leaders,” Forsythe said. “We can’t count to three on offense. Our quarterback, Brock Bailleaux, is trying his best and we have a couple of other guys who are trying to step up. But we are 11 individuals in our offense and in our system. Until we all move as one cohesive unit, it’s not going to work. And we just don’t have that chemistry right now.” The Tarpons had chances. The Tigers turned over the ball several times in the game, including one early-game mishap which gave the Tarpons the ball deep in Tigers territory. But South Lafourche never generated enough sustained offense to make the mishaps hurt. The Tarpons got just a field goal from kicker Jesse Torres in the first half, falling behind 28-3 at halftime. In the second half, both teams traded scores with the Tarpons touchdown coming on a muffed snap on a punt, which sailed into Thibodaux’s end zone and was recovered by Shane Billiot. The second half of Friday’s game was delayed about 15 minutes after law enforcement authorities took the field to inform officials of a faulty fuse box on the visiting side of the stadium, which started to smoke. The box was turned off, which took off one of the light beds on the visiting side of the field. Both coaches agreed to resume the game, which was played without further interruption once stopped. The Tarpons will host the Trojans on Friday night.
From NSU Sports
NEW ORLEANS, La. - A few early empty possessions and a potent rushing attack led to the Nicholls State University football team’s first loss in a 42-17 decision Saturday night in front of 21,092 fans at Yulman Stadium. Nicholls (1-1) was aiming for a rare occurrence, looking to take down FBS opponents in consecutive weeks following its season-opening win over Kansas. But after holding the Jayhawks to 56 yards on the ground last Saturday, Nicholls (1-1) had trouble containing the rush by Tulane (1-1), which racked up 268 yards. Nicholls also had three drives go deep into Tulane territory in the first half but came away with just three points. “I thought we had some opportunities in the first half that we let slip away,” said Nicholls head coach Tim Rebowe. “You know, we missed a couple of field goals. I thought our guys were playing hard. It did get away from us in the back end. We gotta be able to stop the run and we didn’t stop the ball. They did a tremendous job in the second half. We got out of our gaps a couple of times, missing tackles. But hey, they’ve got a good ball club. We just got to regroup and get ready for next week.” New Orleans native Dai’Jean Dixon led the offense with a ca-
reer-high 112 yards receiving on four receptions – all in the first half. Chase Fourcade threw for 239 yards and a touchdown but had a pair of interceptions. His touchdown was a 7-yarder to Gabe Fuselier right before halftime to make the score 21-10. Corey Dauphine did most of the damage for Tulane, scoring on runs of 38, 69, and 35 yards. His first was after Nicholls missed on a Lorran Fonseca 46yard field goal in the opening quarter. Fonseca then made good on a 21-yarder in the second that cut the lead to 7-3. Dixon highlighted the drive with a 55-yard catch en route to his second career 100-yard game, but Tulane stuffed three rushes inside the 5 to keep Nicholls out of the end zone. On Dixon’s catch, Fourcade surpassed the 5,000-yard mark for career passing yards, becoming just the third
Colonel to reach the milestone. Tulane countered immediately with Dauphine’s longest touchdown run of the night to make the score 14-3. Later in the second, Green Wave quarterback Jonathan Banks then made it 21-3 on a hard-fought 5-yard score. The Colonels had another shot to put points on the board, but Fonseca missed left on a 42-yard try. However, the defense, which totaled three sacks on the night, got one from Kenny Dotson that led to an Evan Veron fumble recovery. Veron scooped up the ball and ran 12 yards to the Tulane 26. Dixon led the drive with a 26-yard catch, and Fuselier caught a slant from 7 yards out for his first career touchdown with the Colonels. In the third quarter, Nicholls moved to the Tulane 34 after a face mask penalty. See Nicholls Page 7-A
South Lafourche struggled mightily offensively in Week 1 against De La Salle, so much so that coach Blake Forsythe said after the game that he thought his team was scared of the Cavaliers. After a 35-10 loss at Thibodaux in Week 2, the coach’s comments weren’t any more flattering. The Tarpons struggled again in their second game, falling behind early and never recover ing, surrendering several big plays to a Tigers

Saints’ Payton focuses on accountability after stunning loss By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Saints coach Sean Payton spent the first part of Monday urging players and his own coaching staff to acknowledge everything they did wrong heading into a surprising season-opening loss to Tampa Bay. “Today’s a tough day in our league, obviously, after a loss like that,� Payton said. “It wasn’t a good tape. It was not a good film. “The first thing I said this morning was: ‘It is oftentimes said that these early weeks of the season, your team can improve a lot.’ I believe
Nicholls From 5-A
On the next play, Fourcade went deep to Damion Jeanpiere Jr., but the ball was picked off by Roderic Teamer at the 5. The Green Wave then chewed 7:28 off of the clock on a 14-play scoring drive for a 28-10 advantage. Nicholls had one last shot, scoring on a 35yard touchdown run by Dontrell Taylor with 12:42 remaining in the game. But Dauphine closed the door on any chance of comeback with a 35-yard touch-

that to be true,� Payton recounted. “Now, if that is to happen, then today has to be a day where we’re willing to shoulder and not deflect (criticism). That is me as the head coach and everyone in that room. What I mean by that — shoulder — is accept, ‘Hey, I have to do this better. I have to find a way to improve this rather than try to deflect.’� While Payton wanted his team focused primarily on addressing what went wrong in Sunday’s 48-40 loss, a lot had to go right — namely on offense — in order for the Saints to score as many points as
down run. Following Fourcade’s second interception, Tulane added a touchdown with two minutes on the clock to make the final. Nicholls totaled 176 yards rushing, led by Fourcade with 53 and Kendall Bussey added 51. Jeanpiere chipped in with 62 yards receiving on four receptions. On defense, Khristian Mims finished with a career-high eight tackles, and Allen Pittman had seven. Laryon James and Sully Laiche had a half-sack. Banks threw for 190 yards for the Green Wave, with Darnell Mooney catching six passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Dauphine had 152 yards on just six carries, and Darius Bradwell accounted for 93 yards on 13 rushes. The Colonels begin Southland Conference play Saturday at McNeese. Kickoff in Cowboy Stadium is scheduled for 6 p.m. The contest will be aired on Cox Sports TV and on ESPN3 outside of CST territory.
they did. It was apparent that at 39 years old, Drew Brees remains effective enough to pass for 439 yards and lead the offense on five touchdown drives. Receiver Michael Thomas set a team record with 16 receptions. He also had 180 yards receiving and scored a touchdown. Alvin Kamara picked up where he left off as Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, scoring three times to go with more than 100 yards receiving. Even 37-yearold tight end Ben Watson looked effective in his first game as a Saint in three years, catching four passes for 44 yards. But Watson said that on good teams, every unit feels as if it came up short after a loss, so the offense was not praising itself. He said he would expect the defense would do the same in a lowscoring loss. “We should have scored 49 — and a good team looks at it that way,� Watson said, alluding to the fact New Orleans could have indeed scored more if not for two lost fumbles — one of which was returned for a touchdown — and three drives than ended with punts. Tampa Bay, by contrast, did not turn the ball over and punted only once. “It’s about looking in the mirror and being willing to acknowledge what we see,� Watson said. “Football is a game played by humans. There’s going to be mistakes made. ... How do we return from those?� Veteran linebacker Demario Davis, who made his Saints debut on Sunday, said his defensive teammates should understand how urgent it is that they understand exactly what went wrong and how to correct it — fast. The Saints gave up more than 500 yards and three TDs longer than 35 yards. “When you give up 48 points you didn’t do nothing right — technique, assignment, alignment, eyes, discipline. It just wasn’t a good performance,� Davis said. “It wasn’t good enough and we’ve got to get it fixed.� Heading into the season, the schedule appeared to allow a fast start for New Orleans, which has Super Bowl aspirations after nearly advancing to the NFC title game last season. There was Sunday’s opener at home against a Buccaneers squad coming off a five-win

campaign and with its starting quarterback suspended, followed by another home game against Cleveland, which did not win a game last season. Cleveland hasn’t won a game yet this season, either. But the Browns’ tie with Pittsburgh on Sunday left them better off than New Orleans, and also provided evidence that Cleveland may have improved considerably. “This is going to be an important game for us,� Davis said. Added defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins: “We’ve just got to go out and play to win, regardless of whether it’s the ‘85 Chicago Bears or the 0-16 Cleveland Browns from last year, or whatever.� ___ For more AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL
No. 12 LSU unhappy with passing game as No. 7 Auburn looms By BRYAN LAZARE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Preseason talk about LSU relying more on its passing game this season has transitioned into a search for explanations about why that hasn’t happened during the 12th-ranked Tigers’ first two games. New quarterback Joe Burrow has completed fewer than half of his pass attempts for 291 yards so far. LSU might be in trouble if not for the emergence of senior running back Nick Brossette, who has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in victories over Miami and Southeastern Louisiana. But a good ground game might not be
enough on Saturday against No. 7 Auburn, which is allowing 75 yards rushing per game. Washington barely averaged three yards per carry in its season-opening loss to Auburn. “We need to improve our pass protection and our overall passing game,� LSU coach Ed Orgeron said on Monday. “We’re going to make some adjustments to do that. There were some technical errors on the line. Our receivers have to improve their route-running and catching. Then, Joe held on to the ball too long a couple of times.� The Tigers were without both their starting tackles against See LSU Page 9-A

From 7-A
Southeastern on Saturday — Saahdiq Charles and Adrian Magee. Charles, who was not on the sidelines last week, will be back for the Auburn game, Orgeron has said. Magee, who suffered a foot injury in the opener against Miami, will not be in the lineup. Badara Traore, who has stepped in for Magee at right tackle, had his problems against the Lions. In addition to struggling in pass protection, Traore was called for two holding penalties and a false start. Austin Deculus, who replaced Charles, will practice on the right side, like Traore, ideally giving LSU more options at that spot heading into the Auburn game. “He will compete with Badara this week and we will see who’s the best,” Orgeron said. “Auburn has a big, physical and fast defensive line. They penetrate the backfield. They use their hands to get off blocks. To beat them one-on-one, you have to be a man.” LSU rallied from a 20-point deficit to defeat Auburn in Baton Rouge last season. Left guard Garrett Brumfield is the only LSU offensive lineman who started in that game a year ago. But, Brumfield will not use the lack of experience as an excuse for the protection issues. “To some extent, the lack of experience is a factor,” Brumfield said. “But, the guys we have playing are the guys we trust. These guys have to meet our standard at LSU. They have to play football. We have to play physical against Auburn. It is going to be a tough game.” Burrow, a graduate transfer from Ohio State, has completed 48 percent of his pass attempts (21-of-44). He threw two touchdown passes and ran for one touchdown against Southeastern Louisiana. “The sacks have been because of protection (breaking down) and my holding the ball too long,” Burrow said. “If the protection is not great, I have to get rid of the ball faster. If I have to hold the ball longer while someone gets open, the protection has to be better. I know Auburn has one of the best defensive lines in the country. We’ll see how we stack up.” Burrow hurt Southeastern with his running ability when receivers were covered or when pass-rushers beat their blocks. A 13-yard run by Burrow set up a touchdown. Burrow refused to slide on those scrambles and took some vicious hits. Orgeron does not want his quarterback to put himself at such risk. “I talked to coach Orgeron about sliding,” Burrow said. “I don’t know if I am going to do the Tom Brady baseball slide. Maybe, I won’t lower my head into four or five guys. I will take some hits off myself this week.” ___ More AP college football: https://apnews.com/tag/Collegefootball and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25

New Louisiana Film Trail website; state plans more By JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s new film trail runs from New Orleans and Elvis Presley’s “King Creole” to northwest Louisiana’s “Bonnie and Clyde” museum, by way of the home for “Steel Magnolias.” “People love to take their pictures at a place where a movie was,” said Doug Bourgeois, assistant secretary over tourism in the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. People attending the Essence Festival in July even asked where to find the nonexistent Bourbon Street zip line, shown in the comedy “Girls Trip,” he said Friday. The film trail link to the Bonnie and Clyde museum in Gibsland marks A&E’s two-part 2013 TV movie about the murderous robbers, rather than the Oscarwinning 1968 movie, which was filmed in the Dallas area. “Although the A&E series was mainly shot in East Baton Rouge Parish, the museum is a must-visit for fans of the Bonnie and Clyde story,” the website states. “In addition to the museum, visitors can also pass by the marker on Highway 154 that marks the location where Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed by police in 1934.” It’s among 22 movies and TV shows, plus four regional film trails, highlighted on the state website https://www.louisianatravel.com/film. Bourgeois said the shows deliberately cover a wide range, both in time — several are silent movies— and genre, including comedies, dramas, historical films, war stories, science fiction, and even a reality TV show. At the top of the page is a montage of some of the more than 2,500 shows shot in Louisiana since the silent “Tarzan of the Apes” was filmed in 1917 and released in 1918. A study released in April estimated that 9 percent of all visitors to Louisiana — or about 4 million people last year — were influenced by shows created in the state. The “Lights, Camera, Louisiana” website will help them find places to see, Bourgeois said. The main website’s text section notes, “although you may not be familiar with Creature, Red River Ode or The Ninth ... you’ve probably
heard of Beasts of the Southern Wild, 12 Years a Slave, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Pelican Brief and Monster’s Ball.” None of these movie sets appears among the 21 sites linked from a map just below the text, followed by an alphabetical set of 22 buttons, each showing a title and a location or still from that show, plus the regional trail buttons, such as “Cajun Coast” and northwest Louisiana. There are various reasons those are unlinked, Bourgeois said. For instance, there’s no specific site available for Tarzan, and his office is working to get permission for locations filmed in “12 Years a Slave.” “We’re looking at ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ since it’s had a huge impact, but we can’t find a place. There’s no specific place where a visitor could go and say, ‘The movie was actually filmed at this spot,’” he said. South Louisiana settings, including New Orleans, make up 15 of the map’s electronic pins. The one for New Orleans links to “King Creole” and the address of the French Quarter balcony from which Elvis sang the movie’s opening number. Central Louisiana is represented by locations for two 1989 movies — Natchitoches (NAK-uhtesh), where “Steel Magnolias” was filmed, and Winnfield, the setting for “Blaze,” about Gov. Earl K. Long’s relationship with burlesque dancer Blaze Starr. The page about “Steel Magnolias” notes: “The most iconic scenes were filmed at the CookTaylor House near downtown Natchitoches. Because of the success of the movie, the CookTaylor House is now referred to as the ‘Steel Magnolia house’ and has been converted into a bed and breakfast.” The current film trail is just a start — the state expects to add many more sites, Bourgeois said. There’s also a nomination link on the website.

Agreement halts pipeline on 1 Louisiana tract
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The company building an oil pipeline through environmentally sensitive south Louisiana has agreed to halt the project on one piece of private land while a legal dispute plays out. Landowner Peter Aalestad filed a state court lawsuit saying evidence showed Bayou Bridge Pipeline LLC had already begun treeclearing and other construction preparation without obtaining consent. Environmentalists hailed Monday’s agreement, saying it will delay completion of the pipeline until after a November hearing on company efforts to obtain the property through a process called expropriation. Energy Transfer Partners in Dallas, the majority owner of the project, said in an email that the agreement will not affect the timing of the project’s completion. It has said in court records it expects to complete construction by October. ___
German zoo sends its last orangutan to Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A German zoo is sending its last orangutan to Louisiana, and he’s already learning some English. Jambi is a 22-yearold Sumatran orangutan, a critically endangered species of the red-haired Asian great apes. He’ll travel 5,000 miles from Hannover Adventure Zoo to the Audubon Zoo in New Or-
leans, where he will join three females: Reese, Feliz, and Feliz’s daughter, Menari. The species has been drastically reduced, both by hunting and devastation of its habitat from illegal logging and the conversion of rainforests into palm oil plantations. Jambi will be behind the scenes for a while at Audubon as he is introduced to the females. Menari, who was born at Audubon, and Reese, born at Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico, are both 9 years old. Feliz is 29. Orangutans can live into their 50s. ___
Mayor: Catch ‘culprits’ who hoist Confederatethemed flag
MAGNOLIA, Miss. (AP) — The mayor of a majority-black Mississippi town says he wants to know who keeps hoisting the state flag that includes the Confederate battle emblem. Officials in Magnolia removed the Mississippi flag from public display in July 2015, weeks after a white gunman killed black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Critics say the flag represents slavery, segregation and white supremacy. Magnolia Mayor Anthony Witherspoon tells the Enterprise-Journal that someone has raised the state flag on a pole in the town park three times recently, and he’s had enough. Witherspoon says he intends to put up a surveillance camera and “the culprits will be prosecuted.” Magnolia has a population of about 2,300. It is in southwestern Mississippi, just north of the Louisiana state line. Information from: Enterprise-Journal, http://www.enterprisejournal.com

Louisiana mayor bans Nike products from parks and recreation
KENNER, La. (AP) — The mayor of a New Orleans suburb banned the city’s parks and recreation department from purchasing Nike products, days after the athletic apparel maker released a controversial ad supporting former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The memo by Kenner Mayor Ben Zahn to the parks and recreation director says Nike products cannot be purchased for use at the city’s recreation facilities. It also requires the director to approve all athletic purchases by booster clubs using their facilities. The policy sparked a backlash over the weekend with many calling for it to be rescinded. Kaepernick ignited a firestorm in 2016 when he began kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest police brutality and social injustice in America. He opted out of his contract after the end of that season and then has been unable to find a job with another NFL team. He’s suing the league for collusion. Nike last week introduced an ad featuring Kaepernick and the message: “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.” Zahn’s memo, written last Wednesday, and a statement Monday clarifying his position didn’t mention Kaepernick specifically. But in the Monday statement Zahn said while he applauded Nike’s message of inclusion, the company was promoting a “political message” to
sell shoes. “In Kenner, like every city, our citizens and our taxpayers cover a wide spectrum of political philosophies and agendas. We must respect all of those agendas and philosophies. So, when a company uses its advertising as its own political megaphone, government should be fair to all of its people and not allow taxpayer dollars to be used to help that company push its own political agenda,” the mayor said. He added that people would be allowed to wear Nike apparel on city playgrounds. The Nike ban sparked protests and calls for the mayor to rescind the order. The Urban League of Louisiana questioned the legality of the action and said they were “deeply disappointed.” The organization said this was an opportunity to reflect upon the “real reason for associated protests regarding kneeling and police brutality” and called on the mayor and city council to rescind the policy immediately. Monday evening a few hundred people, including Cam Jordan, Terron Armstead and Craig Robertson of the New Orleans Saints’ football team, showed up for a demonstration in Kenner protesting the mayor’s decision. “It’s a shame we’re here for this,” Mark Spears, a member of the Jefferson Parish council told the crowd, according to the New Orleans Advocate. “These policies are illegal.”
