Council 

refuses 

to roll 

forward 

millages 

By Buster Avera 

Contributing Writer 

As promised by some 

parish Councilmen, the 

Lafourche Parish Legislative 

Body voted not to roll 

forward any of the millage 

requests before them at 

Tuesday’s special meeting. 

Two Fire Districts, the 

Council on Aging, and the 

Library Board each asked 

for a roll forward—a higher 

millage than necessary to 

generate the same revenue 

as they received for 2011. 

And each was voted 

down by the Council, which 

granted them only a maximum 

adjusted millage 

rate—one which would generate 

the same revenue as 

the previous year. 

According to the Home 

Rule Charter, a favorable 

vote of six members is required 

to roll forward a 

millage. 

Although the two Fire 

Districts, both in the Thibodaux 

area, were given some 

consideration by the Council, 

their requests for higher 

rates were turned down.

South Lafourche High School head football coach Dennis Skains addresses members of the local 

Bantam “C” Team, also called the Tarpons, Thursday afternoon at the school. 

The Bantam team, consisting of boys age 8-and-under, is currently undefeated (first time in 15-years), 

as is the Tarpon high school football team (as of press time Friday afternoon). 

Coach Skains’ message was for the boys to have fun and enjoy playing football and that he looked 

forward to coaching the future Tarpons. 

Levee lift to begin 

from Delta Farms 

to Clovelly 

SLLD reminds landowners of upcoming construction 

By Buster Avera 


The South Lafourche Levee District (SLLD) is making its 

final plea to all landowners in the East Larose area before it 

begins another lift of the Delta Farms to Clovelly Farms portion 

(Section F) of the levee system. 

In a letter sent last month from General Manager Windell 

Curole, SLLD is notifying landowners that the right of way, 

acquired in the 1980’s has been cleared and marked and excavation 

will begin soon. 

“Sometime in November we will have a contractor on site 

excavating material up to the marked right-of-way line,” says 

Curole. 

All of the dirt in the right-of-way will be transferred to 

the levee side of the borrow canal and placed on the levee to 

heighten it and further enhance flood protection, according 

to the letter. 

SLLD also reminds landowners that certain improvements 

in the right of way, such as dog pens, docks, or other 

buildings/trailers, should be removed immediately.

one. The candidates seeking the 

post are Scott Angelle, a Republican 

from Breaux Bridge, Greg 

Gaubert, no party from Thibodaux, 

Sarah Holliday, a Republican 

from Baton Rouge, Erich 

Ponti, a Republican from Baton 

Rouge, Ed Roy, a Republican from 

Lafayette and Forest Wright, a Democrat 

from New Orleans.

Tuesday’s ballot 

By: Doug Cheramie, II 


In addition to a full slate of local, 

regional and state offices, voters Tuesday 

will also decide the fate of nine 

proposed amendments to the 

Louisiana Constitution. 

Proposed amendment one deals 

with the Medicaid Trust Fund and 

would add the Medicaid Trust Fund for 

the elderly to the list of protected funds 

that are exempt from adjustment if a 

deficit to the fund is forecast. 

Proposed amendment two would 

provide that the right of each citizen in 

the state to keep and bear arms shall 

not be infringed. 

Proposed amendment three would 

require that any proposed legislation to 

change laws relating to retirement systems 

for public employees be prefiled 

and publicly listed no later than 45 

days prior to the beginning of the regular 

legislative session. 

Proposed amendment four would 

also provide a homestead exemption of

Amendment 8 means 

job growth for the 

bayou region 

On November 6th, 

Louisiana Bayou Region 

voters face key decisions in 

federal, state and local elections. 

The ballot also contains 

important proposed 

amendments to the 

Louisiana Constitution, including 

one that could significantly 

improve our 

state’s ability to create new 

jobs with both existing businesses 

and in competing 

with other states in attracting 

new industry. 

This particular Proposed 

Amendment I’m 

speaking of is Amendment 

No. 8. A vote FOR this 

amendment would encourage 

businesses to invest in 

Louisiana and our region by 

providing a property tax exemption 

to competitive projects 

in target industries, 

such as corporate headquarters, 

data and technology 

centers, and logistics 

and distribution facilities. 

Louisiana and the region 

now loses many of these 

projects to states that offer 

a lower effective property 

tax rate, regardless of the 

type workforce or quality of 

life they have to offer new 

business prospects. 

To give us an edge on 

the competition, the Legislature 

approved a new Property 

Tax Exemption for 

Competitive Projects this 

year, with Gov. Bobby Jindal 

signing and legislation 

into law as Act 871. Voters 

can complete the final step 

in making Louisiana more 

competitive for jobs by supporting 

Proposed Amendment 

No. 8 on Election Day. 

When it comes to deciding 

who gets the tax benefit, 

the decision making process 

remains local but more inclusive.

New play entitled ‘Spill’ set 

for this Sunday at playhouse 

The Bayou Playhouse 

will be hosting a reading of 

the new play Spill, by nationally 

recognized playwright 

Leigh Fondakowski 

and artist Reeva Wortel. 

The play is about the effects 

of the Deepwater Horizon 

oil spill on South 

Louisiana and was written 

from actual interviews conducted 

with members of the 

Bayou community. There 

will also be projections of 

full-sized portraits of the interviewees. 

The reading will 

be at the Bayou Playhouse 

Sun., Nov. 4, at 2:30 p.m. 

Fondakowski and Wortel 

conducted interviews in 

coastal Louisiana from 

March 2011 to April 2012, 

talking with people across 

the political spectrum, in- 

Letters and Opinions 

untary for each parish, with 

agreement needed from 

parish governments, municipalities, 

sheriffs, school 

boards and assessors. Participating 

parishes would 

enjoy greater tax revenue as 

Louisiana wins these projects. 

Companies that qualify 

would be taxed on the 

first $10 million or 10 percent 

of their investments, 

whichever is greater, meaning 

local governments and 

schools would gain new 

funds. The remaining investment 

would be tax-exempt 

no more than 10 

years. 

By making Louisiana 

more competitive, we’ll 

make our state much more 

capable of attracting the 

jobs we want for our children 

and grandchildren. We 

will offer this incentive only 

to companies in target sectors 

that make a minimum 

capital investment of $25 

million and create a minimum 

of 50 jobs. Many projects 

will be much larger as 

we move along with this advantage. 

There are several 

statewide news publications/organizations 

and 

communities supporting 

this amendment, just look 

them up in their current or 

upcoming issues. It is 

hoped that bayou region 

residents do the same, supporting 

an amendment that 

would be a real “game 

changer” for us economic 

developers and the communities 

we serve.

conservationists, 

families who lost loved ones 

in the explosion on the 

Deepwater Horizon, oil-rig 

workers, clean-up workers, 

politicians, priests, and 

members of the diverse fishing 

communities along the 

coast. Utilizing these interviews, 

they have created a 

multi-media, cross-disciplinary 

event that artfully explores 

this tragedy and 

poses some of the most important 

environmental 

questions of our time. 

“When I visited the 

Gulf, I fell in love with the 

people, the place, and the 

land,” says Fondakowski. “I 

wanted the voices of the 

people to be represented on 

stage.” 

SPILL was written and 

directed by Fondakowksi 

and is performed with a 

central actor in the role of a 

narrator (played by Kelli 

Simpkins) with projections 

of the life-sized portraits by 

Wortel. When describing the 

portraits, Fondakowski 

said, “All of the subjects are 

facing out, staring straight 

ahead at the viewer. It will 

be a powerful experience for 

the audience to spend time 

with the life-sized portraits 

after hearing the words of 

the people.”

“and their ability 

to hold all the contradiction 

in this story. This is not a 

simple story of being pro-oil 

or anti-oil, this is about survival. 

The lives of the people 

on the Bayou are inextricably 

linked to the oil industry 

for survival.” 

SPILL not only recounts 

the dramatic story of the 

tragedy on board the Deepwater 

Horizon and the subsequent 

impact of the oil 

spill on the estuary and marine 

life, but also takes a 

close look at the people, the 

history, the culture, and the 

environmental crisis of 

coastal erosion facing 

southern Louisiana. 

“Tragedies are a part of 

life,” commented Fondakowski, 

“part of the 

human experience. But people 

continue to amaze and 

inspire as they rise to the 

occasion and face these lifealtering 

events with incredible 

grace and dignity.” 

SPILL was originally

Blue Light Special Halloween 

patrol nets arrest of sex offender 

An arrest 

was 

made during 

the annual 

Blue Light 

Special patrol 

on Halloween. 

William William Martin 

Martin, 60, 

of 5241 Hwy. 1 in Raceland, 

a registered Tier 3 sex 

offender, was arrested after 

deputies found he had altered 

his license in an attempt 

to conceal his status 

as a sex offender. 

As part of the annual 

Blue Light Special, every 

available deputy assigned a 

unit (vehicle) patrols the 

streets of Lafourche Parish 

to help ensure the safety of 

those partaking in Halloween 

festivities. A new aspect 

of this effort was added 

in 2011 where deputies 

also visit Tier 3 sex offenders 

to ensure they are complying 

with the aspects of 

their sentence. 

During this effort 

Wednesday night, deputies 

arrived at Martin’s resi-

him to the Lafourche Parish

2012 would not be granted 

Amendments as they sent a letter to the 

Council at the last minute 

withdrawing their request 

for an increase to 2.0 mills. 

The Council voted 

unanimously against rolling 

forward and granted the 

COA its adjusted maximum 

of 1.98 mills. 

The Library’s roll forward 

request was a more 

contentious debate. Mrs. 

Lynette Fossum, the Library 

Board of Control President, 

argued against the charge 

by many Councilmen that 

her board already has an 

excessive fund balance. 

“We have $9 million in 

the bank, but we have unresolved 

things,” she said, referring 

to ongoing problems 

with the Thibodaux Library’s 

From 1-A 

an additional $7,500 of 

assessed property value to 

the surviving spouse of a 

veteran so long as the 

spouse has a 100 percent 

service connected disability 

rating from the U.S. Department 

of Veterans Affairs. 

Current language only provides 

the exemption for the 

disabled individual. 

Proposed amendment 

five would require the forfeiture 

of public retirement 

benefits by any person convicted 

of a felony related to 

the public office or employment 

held while committing 

the crime. The effective date 

for this proposal would 

apply to any persons hired 

or elected to office on or 

after January 1, 2013. Any 

forfeited benefits would then 

be applied to the unfunded 

accrued liability of the individual’s 

retirement system. 


six would allow the City of 

New Iberia to grant exemptions 

from taxes on property 

annexed by the city after 

January 1, 2013. 


seven would adjust the 

number of seats on educational 

boards such as the 

LSU Board of Supervisors 

and the Board of Regents to 

15, with two members from 

each of the state’s six congressional 

district and the 

remainder to be appointed 

from the state at large. 

Currently, two members 

from each of the state’s 

seven congressional districts 

make up the composition 

of these boards, with 

one member selected from 

the state at large. 


eight would authorize the 

granting of ad valorem tax 

exemptions to eligible businesses 

that undertake a facility 

expansion or business 

expansion. Act 871 of the 

2012 regular session of the 

Louisiana Legislature spells 

out the criteria for the exemption, 

contingent on this 

amendment passing on November 

6. Eligibility for the 

exemption would be limited 

to those projects for a new 

or expanded facility with a 

capital expenditure over 

$25 million and with the expectation 

that at least 50 

jobs will be created. 


nine would require that 

public notice in a newspaper 

being given three times 

instead of two the notice of 

intent to introduce a bill 

creating a special district to 

aid in crime prevention. 

The notice must also note if 

a fee would be required in 

the creation of the district. 

Council From 1-A 

District 7, in a letter to 

the Council, asked for the 

increase in order to upgrade 

its equipment, but had no 

representation at Tuesday’s 

meeting. 

Councilman Phillip 

Gouaux spoke in support of 

District 7’s request. 

“This is a group established 

for our protection. I 

would think we would support 

their request,” he said. 

But Councilman Jerry 

Lafont, noting that two of 

District 7’s board members 

are tax exempt, was less favorable 

in his opinion. 

“It is easy to raise taxes 

when you don’t pay taxes,” 

he said. 

The roll forward failed. 

The vote was 4-2, with Lafont 

and Lindel Toups voting 

against. Jones, Delatte, 

and Arnold were absent. 

Similarly, when Fire 

District 4’s roll forward millage 

was considered, Councilmen 

were not willing to 

grant a higher millage for 

2012. 

“We have $2000 in the 

bank,” said District 4 Board 

Chairman Kerry Alley. “We 

are in a partnership with the 

Thibodaux Fire Department. 

They own, operate, and 

maintain all our equipment. 

They are in the process of 

buying a new truck for us. 

That is why we ask for the 

increased revenue. It will 

equal about $6000.” 

Councilman Lindel 

Toups said the Thibodaux 

Fireman’s Fair breaks revenue 

records every year. “I 

can’t vote for a roll forward,” 

he said. 

The vote was 3-3. Lorraine, 

Lafont, and Toups 

voted against the roll forward. 

The Council on Aging 

(COA) must have realized its 

roll forward request for

“If we change the millage, 

we will have buildings 

without services,” she continued. 

Fossum admitted she 

was under the impression 

that this was the Library 

Board’s last chance to roll 

forward. 

Parish Finance Director 

Ryan Freidlander reminded 

the Council that 2012 is the 

reassessment year and that 

each board may roll forward 

at least once during the 

four-year period 2012-

this year.

against granting the Library’s

Gov’t paying for emergency transportation in NY 

ALICIA A. CALDWELL 

Associated Press 

WASHINGTON (AP) - For the 

next week the federal government 

will pay all of the 

costs to help get public 

transportation and power 

restored to parts of New 

York and New Jersey hit 

hardest by Superstorm 

Sandy, the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency 

said Thursday. 

FEMA Administrator 

Craig Fugate said President 

Barack Obama has approved 

requests from New Jersey 

and New York for the government 

to cover the costs for 

emergency transportation, 

including helping repair sub- 

way tunnels and get buses 

running, and power grid repairs 

for 10 days. He did not 

give any estimates of how 

much that could cost. 

The president’s decision 

does not mean that the government 

will eventually reimburse 

the states for all 

the costs to repair damage 

from the massive storm that 

plunged parts of Manhattan 

into darkness, shut down 

much of the subway and destroyed 

parts of the New 

Jersey shore. 

Fugate said FEMA generally 

pays states back for 

75 percent of repair and recovery 

costs. In some cases, 

the agency has covered as 

much as 90 percent of dis-

But Fugate said it’s too 

early to know how much of 

the costs the government 

may eventually cover. 

“What will be needed 

later, as far as cost share 

adjustments, will be made 

later,” Fugate said. 

Officials from both states 

have asked that the government 

reimburse the local governments 

for all of the costs. 

Insurance companies 

have estimated that the 

storm could cost them anywhere 

from $10 billion to 

$20 billion. According to the 

forecasting firm Eqecat, total 

economic damage could run 

as high as $50 billion.

Nicholls student athletes’ 

graduation rate at all-time high 

THIBODAUX — Nicholls 

State University’s student 

athletes are graduating at 

some of the highest rates in 

the state, according to statistics 

released by the National 

Collegiate Athletic 

Association (NCAA) last 

week. 

The Graduation Success 

Rate (GSR) report 

shows that 68 percent of 

Nicholls student athletes 

who began college in 2005 

earned their degrees within 

six years. That’s an all-time 

high for Nicholls and a twopoint 

increase over the previous 

year’s rate. 

Among Louisiana’s 11 

public universities with Division 

1 athletics, Nicholls has 

the fourth-highest overall 

GSR — tying with Northwestern 

State University and 

only trailing the significantly 

higher-funded Louisiana 

State University, Louisiana 

Tech University and Mc- 

Neese State University. 

“I am very proud of our 

continued success in improving 

the graduation rate 

of student athletes,” said 

Dr. Stephen T. Hulbert, 

university president. “For 

Nicholls athletics to rank 

among the top GSRs in the 

state — despite the fact 

that we are one of the lowest-funded 

athletics programs 

— is a great 

accomplishment and 

speaks volumes about our 

student athletes, coaches, 

staff and faculty.” 

Designed to more accurately 

predict the academic 

success of athletes, the 

GSR measures the proportion 

of student athletes who 

graduate and includes incoming 

transfer students, a 

regular occurrence in college 

athletics, in its calculations. 

When broken down by 

individual sport, Nicholls 

reported the highest GSRs 

in the state and in the 

Southland Conference for 

men’s tennis (100 percent 

graduating) and softball (90 

percent). Among Southland 

schools, Nicholls also ranks 

first in men’s cross country/track 

(80 percent), third 

in men’s basketball (71 percent) 

and third in volleyball 

(86 percent). Additionally,

showed increases from 

their previous year’s GSR, 

which measured the graduation 

rates of 2004 incoming 

freshmen. Men’s cross 

country/track improved by 

20 percentage points, golf 

by 15, men’s basketball by 

eight and football by seven. 

“It is no coincidence 

that our GSRs increased for 

the freshman class of 2005 

— the same year that 

Nicholls transitioned to selective 

admissions and first 

began offering advising and 

tutoring services specifically 

designed for student 

athletes,” Hulbert said. 

“The figures show that we 

took the right steps in raising 

the academic bar, and 

consequently, our efforts 

had a positive impact on 

our student athletes.”

Local high school bands garner

Raceland felon caught with narcotics, firearm 

A known felon was arrested 

after he was caught 

with drugs and a firearm 

during a traffic stop on 

Monday, October 29. Ricky 

J. Trosclair, 25, of 2861 

Highway 1 in Raceland, 

faces several new charges 

following Monday’s arrest. 

Through investigation, 

the Lafourche Parish Drug 

Task Force learned 

Trosclair possibly had drugs 

in his possession, and he 

also had an active warrant 

for his arrest for violation of 

parole and a suspended driver’s 

license. 

At around 10:45 a.m. 

on Monday, narcotics 

agents spotted Trosclair 

driving a black Lincoln MKZ 

in the Raceland area. 

When agents initiated a 

traffic stop and approached 

Trosclair, he gave agents a 

false identity. 

An officer from the 

Louisiana Department of 

Probation and Parole was 

called to the scene and 

identified the driver as 

Golden Meadow 

Mayor 

Joey 

Bouziga 

Candidate for 

re-election - #63 

My Dear Friends, 

I come before you once more seeking your support in my bid for 

re-election as your mayor. Thirty-one years ago you honored me 

by electing me as one of your councilmen. I served you as Councilman 

for nineteen years and have served as your mayor for the 

last twelve years. 

The thirty-one years of experience in municipal government and 

the successful accomplishments of my administration qualifies 

me to continue serving you as mayor. Under my leadership the 

administration for the town has worked together to achieve many 

goals. 

Projects totaling $19,303,582.00 are listed below: 

- Administration $2,218,986.00 

- Street and Drainage Improvements $4,589,078.00 

- Pump Station repairs and upgrades $977,300.00 

- Park and Pool upgrades and repairs $725,500.00 

- Police overtime grants $51,189.00 

- Sewer Projects (Phase III & Phase IV) $3,344,158.00 

- Street Resurfacing (Road Sales Tax) $7,397,371.00 

In 2004 the Town of Golden Meadow was selected the Cleanest 

City in Louisiana for its population. One additional project for 

the Town is the sale of the Natural Gas Department. By selling 

the gas system we have not only saved $5,000,000.00 in funds to 

refurbish the system, but have brought savings of up to fifty percent 

to the citizens who purchased natural gas. 

I have endeavored to administer the Office of Mayor with honesty 

and integrity. I am proud of the improvements in our town these 

past years and am excited about what the next four years can 

provide for all of us. 

I ask for your continued support and consideration for my reelection 

as mayor based on my past performance, credibility, and 

experience administering municipal government. 

With deep appreciation, 

I remain, 

Joey Bouziga, #63

NEWS IN BRIEF 

La. seat belt use 

at record high 

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - 

The use of seat belts in 

Louisiana has reached a 

record high of 79.3 percent 

this year. It’s a factor officials 

say is contributing to 

the state’s declining highway 

death rate. 

The 79.3 percent rate is 

an increase from last year’s 

77.7 percent, which itself 

matched a previous all-time 

high. 

Preliminary crash statistics 

for 2011 indicate that 

Louisiana’s highway death 

toll declined for the fourth 

consecutive year. Prior to 

the beginning of the decline 

in 2008, the number of traffic 

fatalities had increased 

most years since record 

keeping began. 

Lt. Col. John LeBlanc, 

executive director of the 

Louisiana Highway Safety 

Commission, said the numerous 

programs sponsored 

by various agencies 

are playing a role in increased 

seat belt use and 

the decreased number of 

lives lost in crashes.

Election after huge 

storm? Louisiana

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - Election 

officials from states hit 

by Hurricane Sandy had a 

phone conference with 

Louisiana’s top elections official 

about preparing for 

elections after a devastating 

hurricane. 

Secretary of State Tom 

Schedler tells The Advertiser 

(http://bit.ly/Rt4ImG 

) that he spoke Friday with 

officials from New York, 

Vermont, New Jersey, 

Maryland, New Hampshire,

D.C., Delaware and Massachusetts. 

Schedler says he told 

them to expect longer lines

Schedler was a state

Judge tosses 

woman’s “too fat 

to fly” lawsuit 

MICHAEL KUNZELMAN 

Associated Press 

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A 

federal judge on Wednesday 

dismissed a lawsuit filed 

against Southwest Airlines 

by a New Orleans woman 

who claims a gate agent 

told her she was “too fat to 

fly” and couldn’t board a 

flight last year without buying 

two tickets. 

In her order, U.S. District 

Judge Susie Morgan 

said she dismissed Kenlie 

Tiggeman’s suit because 

she missed a deadline for 

responding to Southwest’s 

request for the case to be 

tossed. 

Morgan said the airline’s 

request “appears to 

have merit,” but she dismissed 

the suit without 

prejudice, which means 

Tiggeman can ask for the 

case to be reopened. 

Tiggeman filed the lawsuit 

herself in a state court 

before it was transferred to 

the federal court in New 

Orleans. She declined to 

comment on Morgan’s ruling, 

referring questions 

about the case to a publicist. 

Tiggeman was interviewed 

about her claims on 

NBC’s “Today Show” after 

she sued the airline earlier 

this year, claiming its em-

The verdict 

A defendant was on 

trial for murder. There was 

strong evidence indicating 

guilt, but there was no 

corpse. In the defense’s 

closing statement the 

lawyer, knowing that his 

client would probably be 

convicted, resorted to a 

trick. 

“Ladies and gentlemen 

of the jury, I have a surprise 

for you all,” the lawyer said 

as he looked at his watch. 

“Within one minute, the 

person presumed dead in 

this case will walk into this 

courtroom.” He looked toward 

the courtroom door. 

The jurors, somewhat 

stunned, all looked on eagerly. 

A minute passed.

Nothing happened. 

Finally the lawyer said, 

“Actually, I made up the 

previous statement. But you 

all looked on with anticipation. 

I therefore put to you 

that you have a reasonable 

doubt in this case as to 

whether anyone was killed 

and insist that you return a 

verdict of not guilty.” 

The jury, clearly confused, 

retired to deliberate. 

A few minutes later, the jury 

returned and pronounced a 

verdict of guilty. 

“But how?” inquired the 

lawyer. “You must have had 

some doubt; I saw all of you 

stare at the door.” 

The jury foreman 

replied: “Oh, we did look, 

but your client didn’t.”

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, 

Calif. (AP) - Golf club employees 

in Southern California 

came to the rescue 

when a shark dropped out 

of the sky and flopped 

around on the 12th tee. 

San Juan Hills Golf 

Club operations director 

Melissa McCormack says a 

course marshal found the 

leopard shark Monday afternoon 

and brought it to 

the clubhouse. It had puncture 

wounds where it appeared 

a bird had snagged it 

from the Pacific Ocean, 

about five miles away. 

They stuck the approximately 

2-pound shark into 

fresh water before somebody 

remembered it came 

from the sea, so they got 

some sea salt from the 

kitchen and mixed it in. 

Another employee 

rushed the shark to the 

ocean where McCormack 

says it was very still for a 

few seconds before twisting 

around and speeding off. 


Skeleton found 

when historic Conn. 

tree uprooted 

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - 

New Haven police say superstorm 

Sandy has revealed 

a skeleton beneath 

the town green that may 

have been there since Colonial 

times. 

Police spokesman David 

Hartman says a woman who 

was with other bystanders 

looking at a fallen oak tree 

called police Tuesday after 

she saw bones in the upturned 

roots. 

Hartman says the tree 

was planted on the green in 

1909 on the 100th anniversary 

of President Abraham 

Lincoln’s birth. He says the 

remains likely belong to one 

of thousands of people 

buried there in Colonial 

times. The remains will be 

evaluated by the state medical 

examiner. 

Katie Carbo, who called 

police, tells the New Haven 

Independent she saw something 

in the tree roots, and 

found the bones when she 

removed some dirt. She 

says the skeleton “should be 

given a proper burial.”

School bus, truck 

crash in Pa. without 

drivers 

BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (AP) - 

Police don’t plan to cite the 

drivers of a truck and 

school bus which crashed in 

western Pennsylvania. 

But only because neither 

vehicle had a driver 

when they wrecked. 

Police in Patterson 

Township tell the Beaver 

County Times 

(http://bit.ly/UBPOwQ) the 

incident happened just before 

10 a.m. Tuesday when 

the parked bus began to roll 

down a hill. Police aren’t 

sure why that happened, 

because the driver had engaged 

the parking brake. 

The bus rear-ended a 

parked truck, which also 

began rolling down the hill 

alongside the bus, until the 

truck flipped onto its side. 

The bus continued on, 

shearing off one utility pole 

and hitting another before 

rolling to a stop a few feet 

from the porch of a home. 

Nobody was hurt. 

Patterson Township is 

about 30 miles northwest of 

Pittsburgh.

Foul-mouthed 

parrot seeks new 

home in UK 

LONDON (AP) - Everyone 

has a few faults. In Beaky’s 

case, he swears (a lot) and 

he bites. 

Not good qualities for a 

parrot seeking a new home. 

Still, honesty is the best 

policy, so the Royal Society 

for the Prevention of Cruelty 

to Animals has decided to 

come clean about his shortcomings. 

Supervisor Angelina 

Lusher said Wednesday that 

anyone who takes Beaky in 

will have to put up with 

some rude language. The 

agency also says he tends to 

bite people until he bonds 

with them. 

Beaky is a chattering 

lory who will only be given 

to new owners with experience 

handling exotic birds. 

Lusher says Beaky 

needs interaction with peo- 

ple or other birds to have a 

fulfilling life. 


Halloween-colored 

lobster caught off 

Mass. coast 

BOSTON (AP) - A Massachusetts 

fisherman has caught 

a creepy-looking lobster 

that’s colored to match Halloween. 

The New England 

Aquarium says the 1-pound 

female lobster has an orange 

side and a black side, with 

the colors split perfectly 

down the middle. 

Marine officials say 

such coloration is estimated 

to occur once in every 50 

million lobsters. 

The fisherman who 

caught the seasonally colored 

crustacean in a trap 

last week is from Beverly, a 

seaside community 20 miles 

northeast of Boston. 

The rare lobster is 

known as a split. Aquarium 

officials said Wednesday 

splits have been caught in 

Maine, Rhode Island and 

Nova Scotia in the last 10 

years. 

Pictured are just some of the dogs looking to be adopted/rescued from 

the Lafourche Parish Animal Shelter. Clockwise from left: 

# 12-1040D female Pit mix about 1 year of age 

# 12-1049D female Lab mix about 2 years of age 

# 12-1054D male Schnauzer/Poodle mix about 2-3 years of age 

# 12-1056D male Mastiff/Lab mix named Brass about 2 years of age 

(owner surrender due to him being too big) 

# 12-1057D male Lab mix about 6 months of age

Saints learn how opposing 

defenses must’ve felt 

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The 

New Orleans Saints are 

learning how opposing defenses 

must’ve felt the past 

few years. 

Picked apart. 

Run over. 

Beaten down. 

The Saints’ defense is 

on pace for a truly historic 

season, and that’s not a 

good thing. They have already 

become the first team 

since at least 1950, maybe 

ever, to give up more than 

400 yards in seven straight 

games. On average, they’ve 

surrendered 50 yards more 

per game than the NFL’s 

next-worst team. If this 

keeps up, the defending 

NFC South champions will 

obliterate the record for 

most yards allowed in a 

season. 

Not surprisingly, the 

Saints (2-5) are in a truly 

desperate state heading 

into Monday night’s game 

against Philadelphia (3-4), 

knowing they must turn 

things around, and quickly, 

if they want to have a shot 

at a fourth straight playoff 

appearance. 

“It’s very frustrating,” 

linebacker Scott Shanle 

said Thursday. “Everybody 

is trying to put their finger 

on what’s wrong. How can 

we change it so we’re more 

effective? You get millions 

of different people with millions 

of different suggestions, 

whether it be 

teammates, coaches, family, 

friends. Everybody 

thinks they have the answer.” 

But don’t expect a 

major overhaul. According 

to interim coach Joe Vitt, 

there’s only so much the 

team can do to turn things 

around, and it’s not exactly 

eye-catching stuff. Better 

tackling. Improved fundamentals. 

More awareness of 

what the other team is trying 

to do. 

“If you have dramatic 

change, radical change, 

that’s when the panic sets 

in,” Vitt said. “The players 

can smell the match burning 

before the match is ever 

lit. We’ve just got to play 

better, coach better, execute 

better.” 

Those sort of comments 

can’t be of much solace to a 

fan base that already was 

reeling from the bounty 

scandal that cost former 

defensive coordinator Gregg 

Williams his job and re- 

PAUL NEWBERRY 

AP National Writer 

sulted in head coach Sean 

Payton being suspended for 

the entire year. Williams 

was replaced by Steve Spagnuolo, 

who has caught 

much of the blame for 

what’s gone wrong this season. 

And, boy, have things 

gone wrong. 

In the very first game, 

rookie Robert Griffin III and 

the Washington Redskins 

ran wild in the Superdome, 

shredding the Saints for 

459 yards in a 40-32 upset 

that was an ominous sign 

of what was to come. 

The yards just kept on 

coming. Carolina and 

Kansas City won their only 

games against New Orleans, 

ripping off 463 and 

510 respectively. Green Bay 

put up 421, San Diego 427. 

Tampa Bay, hardly an offensive 

juggernaut, tore 

through the Saints for 513. 

Last Sunday night, Peyton 

Manning and the Denver 

Broncos looked like they 

were going against a scout 

team, piling up 530 yards 

in 34-14 blowout. 

That averages out to 

474.7 yards per game, 

which is 50 yards more 

than the next-worst team 

on the list, the Buffalo Bills 

(424.6). The Saints are on 

pace to give up 7,595 yards 

for the season, which would 

easily take down the record 

of 6,793 set way back in 

1981 by the Colts (when 

they were still in Baltimore). 

STATS LLC, which has 

records dating back to 

1950, says this is worst 

seven-game stretch that it 

can verify. Given the limited 

state of offenses before 

then, it’s highly likely that 

no team in NFL history has 

ever been this bad. 

All over the Big Easy, 

the Saints faithful are 

grumbling about Spagnuolo’s 

scheme, which abandoned 

much of the blitzing 

that Williams did with such 

abandon, and berating a 

group that did its part the 

last three years in support 

of Drew Brees and a recordsetting 

offense. 

Sure, Brees was the 

star of the show, running 

up and down the field with 

opponents in futile pursuit, 

but there’s no way the 

Saints go 37-11 during that 

span and win a Super Bowl 

championship without 

stopping the other team 

every now and then. 

Just look what’s happening 

now. 

Brees and the Saints 

know they have to put up a 

bunch of points to have any 

chance of winning, and 

when the offense stumbles, 

as it did in Denver, things 

can get downright ugly. 

“You get what you deserve,” 

linebacker Jonathan 

Casillas said, referring to 

the criticism that has 

reached a fever pitch. “It’s 

going to keep coming if we 

don’t improve. We are all 

are very prideful guys in 

here. We all want to do better. 

We don’t want to be 

playing as bad as we’re 

playing, both statistically 

and out there on the field.” 

Brees and his offensive 

teammates are careful not 

to criticize the defense, always 

turning those sort of 

questions to look at their 

own shortcomings. The offense 

is certainly not without 

its faults, most notably 

an NFL-worst running 

game. 

“Our job on offense is 

to score one more point 

than them,” Brees said. 

“We’ve won games around 

here 14-9. We’ve won 

games 40-to-30-something. 

The way I look at it is we’re 

a 30-to-40-a-game offense. 

Regardless of what’s happening 

on the defensive 

side of the ball ... we have 

the attitude on offense that 

we should score each time 

we get the ball. If we don’t, 

it’s not good enough.” 

Certainly not the way 

the defense is playing now. 

Notes: The Saints resigned 

WR Greg Camarillo, 

who has been on and off 

the roster all season. They 

cleared a spot by waiving 

TE Daniel Graham, who 

missed last week’s game 

with an injured left knee. 

RB Darren Sproles (hand) 

did not practice Thursday. 

WR Courtney Roby (left 

shoulder) was also out.

Americans have a 

sacred right, duty and 

privilege to vote 

This Tuesday, November 

6, we will have the opportunity 

to cast our ballots in an 

election with national and 

local consequences. I think 

the Presidential elections are 

too long and drawn out. Too 

much time and money are 

spent on them. My solution 

is to get rid of the Electoral 

College and have a true national 

election. The candidates 

will have to address 

everyone, not just the people 

in “swing states.” 

Religious people have to 

decide what are the moral 

issues involved in the election 

and then follow their 

consciences about who will 

be best to carry out these 

values. Let’s pray to God for 

the wisdom to choose the 

right candidates for the various 

offices. 

As Americans, we have 

a right, duty and privilege to 

vote. If we really believe in a 

democratic society, then 

voting should be a top priority. 

In every presidential 

election, about half the eligible 

citizens cast ballots. In 

recent times a slim majority 

of those voting have decided 

most of the elections. That 

means that a small minority 

of American citizens elects a 

president. That’s sad! Every 

eligible citizen should vote.

reports on recent and 

upcoming activities 

The regular monthly 

meeting of the Raceland 

American Legion Auxiliary, 

Unit 349 was held at the 

Post home with President 

Rosalie Knobloch presiding. 

Membership Chairman 

Iris Robichaux reported that 

215 members had paid their 

dues so far and encouraged 

the others to do so as soon 

as possible. 

The Unit donated $100 

to the New Orleans VA Hospital 

bake sale and sent a 

donation to Habitat for Humanity 

to help build homes 

for the needy. 

Van Dunn, VA&R 

Chairman, reported that 

she is still collecting cotton 

bags to give to the veterans 

at the Reserve Veterans 

Home. They use these bags 

to carry their supplies. 

The Make a Difference 

Day-Stand Down program 

was held in New Orleans on 

October 27 near the Veterans 

Hospital. Unit members 

packed hundreds of boxes of 

clothes to give out at the 

function. The homeless veterans 

were given clothes, 

non-perishable food, dental 

and medical attention. After 

all the veterans get the 

clothes they need the homeless 

of New Orleans are then 

allowed to come get clothing. 

The Unit sent money to 

the Second Harvest Food 

Bank in New Orleans to feed 

88 people for Thanksgiving 

and also gave McDonald gift 

cards to two local children 

whose father is serving in 

the armed forces overseas. 

The Unit paid its Partnership 

Renewal dues to 

Special Olympics, LA. 

Americanism Chairman 

Cindy Thibodaux reported 

that the theme for this 

year’s Americanism Essay 

Contest is: “What Freedom 

Do I Enjoy Most?” She will 

soon be working on this 

project with the students in 

all the public and catholic 

schools in our area. 

The Unit sent a $25 

check to the New Orleans 

VA Supply Shelf. 

A bingo party was given 

to the residents at the Raceland 

Manor with cash donations 

given to a the winners. 

St. Mary Nativity School 

Beta Club invited Post and 

Unit members to attend 

their flag raising ceremony 

and mass on Nov. 16. Mass

Pres. Knobloch invited 

members to attend the Veterans 

Day Parade at the St. 

Charles Catholic Church on 

November 10 at 9:30 a.m. 

along with a meal and a 

mass at 4:30 p.m. 

Doris Lagarde, 

Publicity Chairman 

have outlined seven basic 

principles and moral issues 

that we should consider 

when we vote: 

1) The Right to Life and 

the Dignity of the Human 

Person. Direct attacks on 

innocent human beings are 

never morally acceptable. 

This would include attacks 

from abortion, euthanasia, 

human cloning, and destruction 

of human embryos 

for research. We 

should also oppose genocide, 

torture, unjust war, 

human trafficking, and the 

death penalty. We should 

align ourselves with those 

who pursue peace and help 

overcome poverty, racism,

damental right that makes 

all other rights possible. 

Each of us has a right to religious 

freedom, which enables 

us to live and act in 

accord with our God-given 

dignity, and a right to acquire 

those things required 

for human decency – food 

and shelter, education and 

employment, health care 

and housing. Corresponding 

to these rights are duties 

and responsibilities – to 

one another, to our families, 

and to the larger society.

and Vulnerable. While the 

common good embraces all, 

those who are in greatest 

need deserve preferential

weakest among us – the unborn, 

those dealing with disabilities 

or terminal illness, 

the poor and marginalized. 

5) Dignity of Work and 

the Rights of Workers. The 

economy must serve people, 

not the other way around. 

Economic justice calls for 

decent work at fair, living 

wages, opportunities for 

legal status for immigrant 

workers, and the opportunity 

for all people to work 

together for the common 

good through their work, 

ownership, enterprise, investment, 

participation in 

unions, and other forms of

6) Solidarity. We are one 

human family, whatever our 

national, racial, ethnic, economic, 

and ideological differences. 

We all should 

pursue justice, eliminate 

racism, end human trafficking, 

protect human rights, 

seek peace, and avoid the 

use of force except as a necessary 

last resort. 

7) Caring for God’s Creation. 

God has called us all 

to be faithful stewards of 

our planet and to ensure a 

safe and hospitable environment 

for human beings now 

and in the future.
