Baseball source of civic pride (or not) Jim Bradshaw [email protected] Old timers will re-member the Evangeline Baseball League that stirred south Louisi-ana passions into the 1950s, earning a repu-tation as the “Hot Pep-per League” because fans were just as likely to see a brawl as a base hit. But heated rivalries were well entrenched across south Louisiana before the league began in 1934 – some of them going back almost to the Civil War. Rummaging through south Louisiana news-papers published be-tween 1870 and 1900, I fi nd references to teams in Royville (Youngs-ville today), Broussard, St. Martinville, Fausse Point, Lafayette, Frank-lin, Carencro, Opelou-sas, Eunice, Bridgeville (St. Landry Parish), Washington, and Ville Platte. A story in the New Iberia Enterprise reports on a game be-tween the “Cranes and the Brownies,” but doesn’t say where those teams are from. Teams from the little community of Pilette, midway between La-fayette and Broussard, were among the most consistent winners in those days, and it ap-pears the south Loui-siana baseball bug bit fi rst in that area; The Lafayette Gazette re-ported in 1893 that “the base-ball craze … has reached Royville.” Later that summer The Weekly Messenger not-ed that “the boys from [St. Martinville] went to [Broussard] to play a game of base-ball and got beaten.” Apparently that was a long summer for St. Martinville’s boys. A week later The Messen-ger reported a loss to the Fausse Point nine, “though [the game] was hotly contested.” There was a second game that day between teams made up of a mixture of players from Fausse Pointe and St. Martinville. The Mes-senger said that game

Aug. 15 is a special day in Acadiana. For those in the Roman Catholic Church, it is the Feast of the As-sumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and for this same reason it is also a day which should resonate within the hearts of all those who embrace their Acadian heritage. “The Assumption is the Feast of the Acadi-ans,” said the Rev. Mi-chael Champagne, CJC, native son of the Dio-cese of Lafayette. “They sailed under the Aca-dian fl ag, which has the star representing Our Lady of the Assump-

tion.” “His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, declared Our Lady of the Assumption the Patroness of the Acadian peoples,” said Bishop Glen John Pro-vost, another native son of the Lafayette Diocese and current Bishop of the Diocese of Lake Charles. “Bishop Jeanmard [fi rst bishop of the Dio-cese of Lafayette] rec-ognized this special re-lationship between our Blessed Mother and the people of the Acadian exile,” Bishop Provost said. “For a descendant of an Acadian to forget his or her roots and the

witness to the Catholic faith of these people is a tragedy.” Taking action to up-hold the recognition of that connection which Bishop Jeanmard so deeply respected, Bish-op Michael Jarrell has approved plans for an all-day Eucharistic Pro-cession down the Bay-ou Teche on Saturday, Aug. 15. The procession will help to commemo-rate the 250th anni-versary of the arrival of the Acadians by trac-ing the same waterway they used to travel to St. Martinville where they

St. Martinville – With construction of the new South Louisiana Com-munity College’s Evan-geline campus in the site work stage, mud has been the domi-nant fact of life for the last couple of months. Crews have had little to do but wait for drier days. The new campus, lo-cated off of La. 31/Main Highway at Moore Av-enue, will consist of a single 36,000 square-foot building which, un-

like the existing location at 600 S. Martin Lu-ther King Jr. Drive, will house all classrooms, labs, shops and meeting rooms under one roof. Cost of construction will be $9.2 million, part of a $173.7 million bond package passed in 2007 for development of community colleges and technical schools in Louisiana. Built in the early 1960s as T. H. Harris Vocational School, the existing facility became the Louisiana Technical RAIN DELAY – Work should resume soon on the new South Louisiana Community Collage’s

Evangeline Campus. The facility, south of the old Martin Mills building, is expected to spur growth of support businesses in the area. (Karl Jeter)

Lafayette – Wil-lie Pitre Jr., 70, who served as chief operat-ing offi cer of Louisiana State Newspapers and publisher of The Eunice News, died Friday, July 10, at his residence in Lafayette. Pitre had a 41-year career in the newspa-per industry before he retired in December 2006. Pitre started his newspaper career at the Opelousas Daily World where he worked for 22 years. Pitre was advertising manager at the Daily World when

he left to join Louisi-ana State Newspapers in 1988. B.I. Moody, chair-man of the board of The Moody Company, parent company of Louisiana State News-papers, said, “Willie Pitre was a dedicated newspaper executive who focused on serving his newspaper read-ers and advertisers by putting out the best possible newspapers in the communities they served. My condolenc-es to his family and to his fellow employees.” At the time of Pitre’s retirement, Kevin Moody, president of The Eunice News’ par-ent company, Louisi-

ana State Newspapers, said, “Willie helped grow our newspaper di-vision, as well as turn the Eunice plant into the production center for several of our pub-lications.” Darrell Guillory, chief operating offi cer for Louisiana State Newspapers, said, “Wil-lie dedicated his career to publishing newspa-pers. Even in his re-tirement he remained interested in the news-paper industry. He was a good friend and we had a great working and personal relation-ship. I will miss him. My condolences to his wife Corrine and fam-ily.”

Pitre, a native of Lawtell, enjoyed gar-dening, cooking, read-ing, hunting and spending time with his grandchildren. Survivors include his wife, Corrine; and two children, Michael and Adele; and several grandchildren. Corrine is a retired educator who taught at Eunice and Lawtell high schools. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Monday, July 13, at Fountain Memorial Fu-neral Home in Lafay-ette. Entombment will follow in Fountain Me-morial Cemetery in La-fayette, at a later date.

ELECTION 2015Kim Angelle running for D-9 seat Kim Angelle has an-nounced his candidacy for the District 9 seat on the St. Martin Parish Council in the Oct. 24 election. “Born and raised in St. Martin Parish, I have been given the opportunity to develop great pride in where we live,” An-gelle said. “Having a solid base and strong focus on the future of St. Martin Parish and District 9, I feel extremely qualifi ed to help in the growth of our parish. Together we will raise our families in close knit surround-ings. Together we will strive to make St. Mar-tin Parish and our com-munity bigger and bet-ter.” Angelle is the son of Lawrence and Edith Angelle, both lifelong residents of St. Martin Parish. He has been married to Dana Ray for the past 29 years and they have two daughters, Kimi, a stay-at-home mom, and Kae,

a paramedic for Aca-dian Ambulance. They also have two grand-children. Angelle has worked in the construction in-dustry for over 37 years, starting out working with his father on many residential and com-mercial building proj-ects, progressing as lead foreman, project manager, and eventual-ly owning his own busi-ness. “These experiences have enable me to work and collaborate with many people from all walks of life which has enabled me to be the successful business owner I am today,” An-gelle said. “As a former volun-teer coach for the young people of St. Martin Par-ish, it gives me great sat-isfaction to know that I can represent many of them who have chosen to reside and love our communities, as well as the older generation who have lived here all their lives,” he said. “We can continue with the projects that have begun and are still implemented today and begin to implement new projects for our future and the future of our community. “I look forward to meeting and visiting with the residents of District 9.”

Commemorating the Acadians on July 28 St. Martinville – On July 28, you are invited to the Acadian Memorial from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to join with all Acadians for a Day of Commemora-tion. The Acadian Mu-seum of Erath also joins with the Memorial to in-duct Sylvia Bienvenu, a long-time educator and member of the Acadian Memorial Foundation, into the Order of Living Legends. On July 28, 1755, British Governor Charles Lawrence signed an order of removal of all Acadians from Acadie, roughly the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Bruns-wick and Prince Edward Island and the US state of Maine. This order was carried out amid a resistance movement that continued for seven years. The ensuing di-aspora spans both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, in-cluding Louisiana. The Acadian Memorial hon-ors the Acadians who ar-rived in Louisiana from 1764 through 1785. Beginning in 1988, Warren Perrin, a Lafay-ette attorney, curator of the Acadian Museum in Erath and former presi-dent of CODOFIL, spear-headed a campaign to compel Queen Elizabeth II of England to apologize for the Acadians’ expul-sion from Nova Scotia. In 2003, the Governor Gen-

eral of Canada, on behalf of Queen Elizabeth of England, signed a proc-lamation acknowledging the wrongs committed against the Acadians in the name of the British crown. The proclama-tion also established an annual day of commemo-ration on July 28. The Order of Living Legends was established in 1996 by Kermit Bouil-lion, a director of the Acadian Museum. The Order honors people who have done extraordinary things to support the cul-ture. Each year on July 28, the Acadian Museum joins with the Acadian Memorial to recognize someone who has done signifi cant things tied to the Acadian Memorial . Sylvia has been an ac-tive member of the Acadi-an Memorial Foundation Board since 2006. There are many projects at the Memorial with which she has been involved over the years. She wrote and obtained grants for the mosaic of Acadian crests in the Memorial Garden, to erect a replica of the Deportation Cross at Grand Pré in Nova Scotia, to develop the audiovisual program, as well as a History Channel grant, Let the Children Speak, which encour-aged schools to develop programs for instilling a love of history. The

Wooden Boat Congrès, which is held in conjunc-tion with the Acadian Memorial Festival in the spring, became a real-ity due to Sylvia and her family. A long-time educator in St. Martin Parish and around the state, Sylvia spent many years in the classroom at St. Mart-inville Primary School. She has also spent many years studying, teaching, developing and critiqu-ing reading programs

around the state. She brings her love of chil-dren, of French and of the Louisiana cultures to all of her projects. Entry to the Acadian Memorial and the Cul-tural Heritage Center and the day’s events are free of charge, and the public is invited. Contact the Acadian Memorial at 337-394-2258 or at [email protected] for further information or our web site at www.aca-dianmemorial.org.

Baja St. MartinBy Linda Cooke

My purple martins have all left but the two bird houses on the dock are still occupied by those little brown birds. Wrens? Sparrows? They co-habited with the martins all season but apparently they prefer to make it their perma-nent home. I will take the houses down as al-ways in the summer to make sure storms don’t smash them. Speaking of storms. A week or so ago we had a really nasty storm, short-lived but heavy rain and just after dark a huge BOOM! and the power went out. Our generator came on so we had power, but it wasn’t until 11 p.m. that the utility com-pany did whatever they needed to do and the main power came back on. At 1 a.m., I was awak-ened by another huge BOOM! and the power went off again. Since I was wide awake I called the utility company to report an outage and was told there were sev-en customers involved and it would be the next day before things were fi xed. Which turned out to be the case. A truck arrived mid-morning the next day, did some-thing to the transformer on the pole next to my house and all has been well since. Nothing in my house

seemed to be damaged but since then I have found that my invisible dog fence transmitter no longer works. I called the manufacturer and they said lightning could well have struck the line and/or the transmitter. So I’m in the process of buying another device. I want to get a dog before long and don’t want to take a chance of it getting in the road, especially with the possible promise of heavy tank truck traffi c. The trucks, by the way, have begun pass-ing after a period of time when they didn’t. I have no idea why they stopped going this way for a short while, but whatever it was it’s over. The tankers are not that numerous – about the same they’ve always been, although they seem to be going a bit faster. To my knowledge, there’s been no building activity on the levee and I don’t know what is going on with the parish/FAS situation. I have heard that the Tulane Law clin-ic and the Atchafalaya Basin Keepers plus oth-ers are still opposing the levee building/rezoning, but I don’t know what they’re doing right now. We had a great meet-ing for seniors at the Belle River Community center on Wednesday, July 8. In addition to seniors from the Baja communities, the Coun-cil on Aging director,

Shanise Lewis, attended with case managers Cora Deroussel and Delores Hebert. The seniors suggested activities they would be interested in having take place at the Belle River center such as bingo, crafts, Cajun French, line dancing, computer lessons and others. The dates of these activities will be announced soon. We’re getting things go-ing. It just takes time. I have to tell you that I have some absolutely wonderful people over here who are so willing to volunteer their time to help with activities. I couldn’t manage without them. The St. Martin Sher-iff’s Offi ce is sponsoring its annual summer lun-cheon for the seniors of lower St. Martin Parish on Saturday, Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Stephensville El-ementary School gym. Lunch will be provided along with door prizes and bingo. This is for all local seniors, not just those who receive Food for Seniors. Please no children. Thanks to Ms. Roxy, the lunch will be outstanding as always. Food for Seniors will be Thursday, July 23, at the usual times and places – Stephensville Fire Station and the Belle River community center. It will be posted on the Belle River outdoor sign.

Butte La RoseEt Les EntourageBy Helen Boudreaux

Bonjour! Mother Nature pulled a sneaky one on us this year and put a little damper on the Inde-pendence Day fi reworks celebrations. Didn’t stop the annual barbe-cue expertise though. Wonder if this is gonna be our new weather pattern? Usually we’re having a drought begin of April and May, but not this year. Daughter Tina and her hubby, Chene, came

by for my 16 gallon jugs that morning, brought them to Henderson, fi lled and brought them back along with a big watermelon. That is a big ’un. Cut it up in six pieces. It is so sweet. I fi gure it will last me a whole eight days. I jokingly suggested to Chene that wherever in his garden he plant-ed that melon be sure to plant some there again next year. But then he told me he bought it at

Rees Street market. Of course I knew he does not plant a garden. That evening daugh-ter Bonnie and hubby, Andy, à cuire un gros repast pour célébrer le 4th of Juillet with in-vite’s Bully et Anna Mae Resweber, Chene et Tina et moi. Food tastes better when someone else cooks. Don’t you think? Andy and Bon-nie are great cooks. Of course I always bring along a doggie bag for any possible restants. My good trucking buddy Bradley “Craw-fi sh” Babineaux and another friend, Jannes Landry, came by Sun-day afternoon. Craw-fi sh and I go back many years. He stopped by Poche’s on his way and bought me four beau-tiful delicious stuffed pork chops to surprise me with. I was sur-prised and impressed because I’d heard good things about that store’s meats. This will be my fi rst time to cook stuffed pork chops. I wanted to cook those for us that afternoon but he said no he’d gotten ’em spe-cial for me to enjoy. I’ll cook one at a time in the slow cooker. One makes two meals. I am so grateful to him for his thoughtfulness. I fi gure I will have swallowed up both the melon and the chops by the time my column is printed. They will be but memories by then. Butte La Rose Fire Chief Blake Menard re-minds you all to mark your calendars for Sat-urday, Aug. 1, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., to be in Butte La Rose. The community

is putting together its fi rst annual “Black Pot Cook-Off.” This event is to raise money for their volun-teer fi re department. They’re selling raffl e tickets for $5 per which is for such a worthy cause, great prizes! We all know that impor-tance! The event is free to the public and will take place next to the fi re station. There is a $25 per cook-off entry with a ($10 ice chest pass included) And a $5 cost for a sample bowl. There will be conces-sions. Bring the family, especially the kids. Af-ter this year’s success maybe next year the fi re department could get a story teller who could tell the kids about the Atchafalaya Basin that once was. Y’all come join the fun and sup-port the community. Qui, la musique! There’s three catego-ries, pork, beef and chicken. Sausage is op-tional. Please, no glass containers or bottles allowed on premis-es. For questions call Blake 337-356-9437 or 501-0743. Pick up a fl yer somewhere to read rules on the back. You know to clean your area, picking up your empty beer cans, and stuff like that. Ha! At 1 p.m. they will present the awards, 1:30 will have an auction, and at 3 the 50/50 raffl e win-ner. I got my raffl e tick-ets when Blake came by asking I write about the event. He is a good man caring for his commu-nity. See you all there! Cousine Hélène

COUNCIL ON AGING

Editorials & Opinions Page A-4, St. Martinville TECHE NEWS July 15, 2015

POLITICKING TIME . . . ! Political signs for the crowded St. Martin sheriff’s race have been up for some time, but now we’re starting to see some action from Parish Council hopefuls. Although it’s not yet clear whether incumbents in Districts 2 through 8 will face any opposition, District 1’s Carroll Delahoussaye and District 9 representative Dean Doré are term limited as they are serving their third consecutive terms in office. Delahoussaye will not have actu-ally served three full 4-year terms as he was elected in a special election when Parish President Scott Angelle was appointed secretary of the state Department of Natural Resources in 2004 and current Parish President Guy Cormier left his District 1 post to win election as Angelle’s successor. But the parish’s home rule charter specifies that anyone who serves at least 2½ terms on the council cannot run again. I haven’t heard of any serious challengers to Cormier or to Clerk of Court Becky Patin. It looks like veteran Assessor Lawrence Patin will retire at the end of his current term so we’ll definitely have a new face in that position. Not much talk (yet) about any serious opposition to State Sen. Fred Mills Jr. or State Reps. Mike Huval and Terry Landry. The race to fill the District D judge’s seat in the 16th Judicial Dis-trict left vacant by the death of Judge James McClelland earlier this year has drawn three candidates, includ-ing Eddie Guidry of St. Martinville. Qualifying is still almost two months off (Sept. 8-10); so there’s still lots of time for candidates to get active. A ROSE IS A ROSE . . . As if we haven’t heard enough about the banning of the Confederate battle flag and the call by some politi-cians to remove all references to the Civil War from public places, now a federal court has stripped the Wash-ington Redskins of the trademark protection of the Redskins name and logo, ruling that the terms were of-fensive to Native Americans. You may have seen the rant on the Internet that takes umbrage at many other NFL, MLB and NBA mascots. What about the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves or the Cleveland Indians? Should we allow teams like the N.O. Saints, Los Angeles Angels or San Diego Padres to promote the Catholic religion? And what kind of message does it send to our youths when we cheer for the Oakland Raid-ers, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Pittsburgh Pirates, teams that glorify looters and old time terrorists? We can’t have Rebels but it’s OK to have the New York Yankees? And some white folks might resent the Carolina Panthers because that might bring to mind the militant Black Panthers of the Sixties and Seventies. And how can the military be al-lowed to name its cruise missile the Tomahawk or its helicopters Apache, Blackhawk, Kiowa or Lakota without offending someone? There are just too many people spending time looking for a way to be

offended by something.

THIS & THAT . . . RIP – I was saddened to read of the passing of Fr. John deLeeuw last week in Lafayette at the age of 97. Old timers here might recall that he was a native of the Netherlands and his first assignment in this country was as an assistant here in St. Mar-tinville (in 1953). I had just become an altar boy and he tried to teach us how to recite the Latin Mass respons-es. He could hardly speak English at the time and we really had a hard time communicating. But he was a good sport and enjoyed travelling overseas after retiring from a long career in Lafayette. Anniversaries – Friends and subscribers who celebrated wedding anniversaries recently included: July 8 – The 65th anniversary for Joe and Marie Schexnaider of Arnaudville; and the 23rd for Roland

“Brud” and Lisa E. LeBlanc. July 10 – The 45th for Elaine and Sonny Breaux of Breaux Bridge. July 11 – The 35th for Darrell “T-Colo” and Kizzy (LeBlanc) Theriot of Breaux Bridge; the 34th for Mr. and Mrs. James Mariell of Breaux Bridge; and the ?? for Shane and Donna Doucet of St. Martinville.

In the wake of the recent mur-ders in a South Carolina church, the killer’s hope of igniting a race war produced the opposite effect. Blacks and whites in South Carolina came together to condemn his act and the race hate behind it. Some saw in the decision to re-move the Confederate fl ag from in front of the state house a symbolic repudiation of the old South’s racial past – and the end of the Civil War. But, unfortunately, wars do not end until both sides decide that it is over. The black parishioners who ex-pressed forgiveness toward the killer did more than most of us could do, and the whites who responded with solidarity did their part. Note how quickly this was done, by ordinary people of good will – black and white – without the “help” of racial activists like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. Professional race hustlers have no incentive to see our current civil war end. They see in this shooting only an opportunity to escalate their de-mands. Now there are rumblings of de-mands that statues of Robert E. Lee and other Southern leaders be de-stroyed – and if that is done, it will only lead to new demands, perhaps to destroy the Jefferson Memorial because Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. And if that is done, no doubt there will be demands that the city of Washington be renamed, for the same reason. In short, there is no stopping point, just unending strife as far out as the eye can see. And just what will that accomplish? It could ultimately accomplish the killer’s dream of ra-

cial polarization and violence. Neither blacks nor whites will be better off if that happens. With all the very real problems in this soci-ety, can we really spare the time and the wasted energy of trying to refi ght a Civil War that ended before our great-grandparents were born? The past is irrevocable. We cannot change the smallest detail of what some people did to other people after both have gone to their graves. Meanwhile, the old South has al-ready changed. There is no way that the South of the mid-twentieth cen-tury would have elected a woman of Indian ancestry to be governor of South Carolina or a man of Indian ancestry to be governor of Louisiana, much less have Southern states that voted for a black President of the United States. Perhaps the strongest evidence of the changes is that the black mi-grations out of the South a hundred years ago have now reversed – with younger and better educated blacks leading the new migrations from the North to the South. When people vote with their feet, that tells us a lot more than any polls. If the past is out of our hands, what is in our hands today are the present and the future – and both have big challenges. Whatever poli-cies or practices we consider need to be judged by their actual conse-quences, not by their rhetoric. “Hate crime” laws are on some people’s agenda. But what will such laws actually accomplish? A mur-derer deserves the death penalty, whether he killed someone of a differ-ent race or killed his own twin broth-

er. All that “hate crime” laws can do is provide the murderer’s lawyer with another ground on which to appeal the conviction or the sentence. Trying to make up for the past with present-day benefi ts has a track record that shows many counterpro-ductive consequences. The federal government’s pres-sures against schools to not disci-pline so many black males is another “benefi t” for blacks that is far from benefi cial. It means that a handful of hoodlums in a classroom can pre-vent all the other black children from getting a decent education, which may be their only chance for a de-cent life. Another “benefi t” for blacks that turns out not to be benefi cial is giv-ing the police orders to back off dur-ing ghetto riots. Whether in Balti-more recently or in Detroit back in the 1960s, the net result has been more people killed, most of them black, and a whole community put on the downward path of physical and social deterioration. We need a lot more serious think-ing about the present and the future, and a lot less time and energy spent on the past.

Is the Civil War over?

Knowledge is power, but as Albert Einstein once said, “information is not knowledge.”

This week, the Louisiana Associa-tion of Business and Industry (LABI) will release its 2015 scorecard for the Louisiana Legislature. The scorecard will be available at www.labi.org/scorecard and will give Louisiana vot-ers a clear and easy way to see exactly how their legislators voted this ses-sion on bills that impacted the private sector economy and Louisiana’s em-ployers.

In short, the grades are in and they are not very good.

Throughout the regular legislative session, lawmakers repeatedly insisted their only choice to invest in priorities such as higher education and health care was to raise taxes. The reality is there were many other options. The Legislature not only failed to structure the tax increases to minimize harm to jobs and the economy, but also refused to control government growth, make re-ductions in less critical services or even debate structural reforms to the state budget that would allow lawmakers to prioritize needs across state govern-ment each and every year.

Just prior to the national recession, Louisiana experienced substantial but temporary growth as a result of a post-Katrina bubble.

While the government’s budget cer-tainly decreased from a peak in 2008, it has largely stabilized the past couple of years. Still, the state budget has grown on average almost a billion dollars a year over the past 10 years.

That unsustainable growth rate must be brought back to reality.

Our state budget problems are not due to a lack of taxpayer dollars. They are due to a maze of lock boxes and dedicated funds that prohibit existing tax dollars from being eligible for higher education and health care. They are due to a lack of will to address the rising en-titlement costs that siphon off millions

of dollars every year from the classroom. They are due to overlapping and dupli-cative bureaucracy and overhead that make our government more expensive than critically necessary to be respon-sive to our residents.

Rather than address any of these items, lawmakers maintained that their only choice to fund priorities like higher education and healthcare was to raise taxes this legislative session. The re-ality is there were many more options available.

Throughout the session, policy mak-ers regularly opined that “big busi-ness” could afford to pay more taxes, frequently using the term “corporate welfare” to defi ne credits and incentives that exist solely to help offset a tax code that is deemed broken and uncompeti-tive by national and Louisiana experts alike.

The reality is that ALL businesses in Louisiana will be directly affected by the taxes enacted in 2015. The impact of additional taxes will be felt by employ-ers in every industry sector.

The budget passed by the 2015 Leg-islature and signed into law by the gov-ernor:

Spent more than $600 million in new taxes on critical components of a healthy economy, such as inventory, electricity and research;

Maintained the overall size, scope and structure of state government, which is almost $9 billion larger in 2015 than a decade ago;

Failed to reform or restructure na-tionally-high levels of state support for local government, making no reduction whatsoever to these annual subsidies;

Spent millions more on K12 pub-lic schools to pay for increasing costs primarily due to entitlements without making any reforms or demands that dollars be prioritized for the classroom; and

Made no reductions whatsoever to certain areas of state government, in-cluding the legislative budget which received zero cuts and to the judiciary budget, which actually grew this year to

account for salary increases for judges.The fact is that – even before these

sizeable tax increases go into effect – tax collections in Louisiana were already projected to increase over the next fi ve years. That tax revenue growth projec-tion, which was due to an expanding economy, is now in question.

Tax policy was not the only area where the Legislature made the choice to prioritize government over private cit-izens. The House refused to take a vote on a bill to end the role of government as the middle-man between taxpayers and public unions, instead allowing the mandate of automatic deduction of union dues to continue. A House com-mittee rejected a package of bills to re-quire additional transparency and dis-closure by the judicial branch, choosing to keep buried court fi nances.

On the positive side, legislators vot-ed to protect the Transportation Trust Fund and ensure taxpayer dollars in-tended for roads are used for that pur-pose. The Legislature also refused to roll back higher standards for students and rejected new causes of action on em-ployers.

The 2015 regular legislative session represents a pivotal point in Louisiana politics. The Legislature sent a resound-ing message that maintaining the size and operations of state government was as important growing jobs and opportu-nities for citizens in the private sector across this state.

Louisiana cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past, where we take an economic boom for granted, only to see hard times quickly follow. It will be up to a new administration and new Legisla-ture to make 2015 a temporary setback.

That only happens if you make your voice heard this fall.

-REMEMBER WHEN-by Sally Angelle

25 YEARS AGOJuly 18, 1990

Past Commander Carroll Marks of the Arnaudville VFW Post 5153 turned over the gavel to the newly installed Commander Louis Stelly. Offi cers of the Breaux Bridge American Legion Auxiliary Unit 133 included Janice Bourque, presi-dent; Irene Guidry, 1st vice-presi-dent; Mary Castille, 2nd vice-pres-ident; Shirley Robert, secretary; Sasha Perez, historian; Levie Son-nier, treasurer; Earline Tauzin, ser-geant-at-arms; and Lou Blanchard, color bearer.


The Breaux Bridge Crawfi sh As-sociation presented the 1999 Craw-fi sh Queen Amber Doré with a $1,000 scholarship in appreciation for her service. During a brief meeting with little

discussion, members of the Hen-derson board of aldermen agreed to double the salary of Mayor Earl “To-Bit” Patin from $600 per month to $1,200 monthly, jumping his an-nual salary by $7,000 to $14,000.


The U. S. Army Corps of Engi-neers was set to break ground in October on a $6.3 million project to, in essence, re-plumb by opening some cuts and closing others a stag-nant 58,000 acre swamp sprawling over parts of St. Martin, Iberia and St. Mary parishes. Chandler LeBouef made his dream come true. The six-year-old motor cross racer from Cecilia qual-ifi ed for the largest amateur motor cross race in the world, the 23rd annual Amateur National Motor cross Championship at the Loretta Lynn ranch.

A reading from the holy gospel according to Mark

The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no oppor-tunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he dis-embarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

EVANGILE DE JESUS CHRIST SELON ST. MARK

Les apôtres, s’étant rassemblés auprès de Jésus, lui racontèrent tout ce qu’ils avaient fait et tout ce qu’ils avaient enseigné. Jésus leur dit: Venez à l’écart dans un lieu désert, et reposez-vous un peu. Car il y avait beaucoup d’allants et de venants, et ils n’avaient même pas le temps de manger. Ils par-tirent donc dans une barque, pour aller à l’écart dans un lieu désert. Beaucoup de gens les virent s’en aller et les reconnurent, et de toutes les villes on accourut à pied et on les devança au lieu où ils se rendaient. Quand il sortit de la barque, Jésus vit une grande foule, et fut ému de compassion pour eux, parce qu’ils étaient comme des brebis qui n’ont point de berger; et il se mit à leur ensei-gner beaucoup de choses.

Thanks for allcommunity help A benefi t for my hus-band Terry “Spyderman” Kidder took place on June 13 and I would like to thank everyone who came out in support. From the laughter to the tears, from the food to the music, from the

volunteers to the dona-tions – it was a success! Without the help of family, friends and com-plete strangers, our goal would never have been reached. For this we are forever grateful. A quick update on his condition. Tumors have not grown and nothing new is showing up. His oncologist says it is in a deep sleep. We will go

back for more scans in September. Many thanks also to all who sent prayers, good vibes, positive en-ergy for my Terry and our family. Thank yous just don’t seem to be enough. For those who poke fun at small towns – you don’t know what you are missing! Peace and God bless.

It’s expected to be a hotter summer this year, but don’t confi ne your money-saving ef-forts to the thermo-stat. The warm months can be the best time to focus on cutting year-round energy costs. Free of snow, ice and wind, it’s easier to spot problems, do re-pairs and budget for energy-effi cient ap-pliances and fi x-up projects that can save considerable money in the future. Your fi rst step should be better track-ing and analysis of the energy you buy. The most common sourc-es of energy spending are home utilities and fuel costs for vehicles. However, if you own a vacation home, oper-ate a business within your residential space or have different vehi-cles for land or water, see if you can separate those numbers so you can more clearly iden-tify usage patterns month to month and fi nd ways to cut back. Think about an en-ergy audit. Whether you do it yourself or pay for the services of a certifi ed profession-al summer is the best time to do a basement-to-rooftop energy audit (http://energy.gov/energysaver/articles/pro fess iona l -home-energy-audits). Some utility companies have home energy audits online so you can see where your energy is going. Prospective ho-meowners might make an energy audit part of their home inspec-tion process. Accord-ing to the U.S. De-partment of Energy, in 2014, the average American spent 60 percent of their energy dollars heating rooms and water. Another 16

percent goes to light-ing, cooling and food refrigeration. The re-mainder – nearly a quarter of total home energy uses – covers all miscellaneous en-ergy use in the house. Then focus on the thermostat. In the summer, confi ne heavy air condition-ing use to the hottest nights, and the rest of the time, try to set the thermostat a little higher than you do now. For example, the U.S. Energy Depart-ment says that setting your air conditioning to 78 degrees instead of 72 can save be-tween 6-18 percent on your summer cooling bill. Before you spend money on a program-mable thermostat or convert your real-time utility billing to a budget plan, note that some research questions their value (https://today.duke.e d u / 2 0 1 5 / 0 4 / a u -topay). First, see how much you can save by shut-ting off vents and doors and drawing curtains in unused rooms and spaces. If you don’t have pets, you may consider set-ting your thermostat signifi cantly higher than 78 before you leave for work. Lights out. We’ve all been admonished to turn off the lights when we leave a room, but there are other things we can do to capture random, or “vampire,” energy waste. Sensors, dim-mers and timers can reduce lighting use, and installing power strips can keep com-puters, microwaves, cable boxes, DVRs and high-end TV sets from sucking energy even when they’re not turned on. Unplug-ging between uses

works too. Also, swap-ping conventional in-candescent bulbs for compact fl uorescent bulbs (CFLs) can pro-vide lighting that lasts longer and saves mon-ey on replacements.

Driving, dementia,knowing when to quitDear Savvy Senior, Is it safe for seniors with dementia to drive, and if so, when should they stop? My dad has early Alzheimer’s dis-ease but still drives him-self around town just fi ne.

Looking Ahead While most doctors agree that people with moderate to severe de-mentia should not take the wheel, in the early stages, the medical con-sensus is that driving performance should be the determining factor of when to stop driving, not the disease itself. With that said, it’s also important to realize that as your dad’s driv-ing skills deteriorate over time from the disease, he might not recognize it. So it’s very important that you work closely with him and his doctor to monitor his driving. Here are some tips that can help. Warning Signs The best way to keep tabs on your dad’s driv-ing is to take frequent rides with him watch-ing out for key warning signs. For example: Does he have trouble remem-bering routes to familiar places? Does he drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate or drift between lanes? Does he react slowly or make poor driv-ing decisions? Also, has your dad had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on his

vehicle? These, too, are red fl ags. If you need some as-sessment help, hire a driver rehabilitation spe-cialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. To locate a specialist see driver-ed.org or aota.org/older-driver. Transition Tips Through your assess-ments, if you believe it’s still safe for your dad to drive, you may want to start recommend-ing some simple adjust-ments to ensure his safety, like driving only in daylight and on fa-miliar routes, and avoid-ing busy roads and bad weather. Also, see if he will sign an Alzheimer’s “driving contract” (see alz.org/driving to print one) that designates someone to tell him when it’s no longer safe to drive. In addition, you should also consider get-ting a GPS vehicle track-ing system for his car (like motosafety.com or mobicopilot.com) to help you keep an eye on him. These devices will let you track exactly where he’s driving, and allow you to set up zones and speed limits that will notify you via email or text message when he exits an area or arrives at a designated location, and if he’s driv-ing too fast. Time to Quit When your dad’s driv-ing gets to the point that he can no longer drive safely, you’ll need to talk to him. It’s actually best to start having these conversations in the ear-ly stages of the disease,

before he needs to quit driving, so he can pre-pare himself. You also need to have a plan for alterna-tive transportation (in-cluding a list of family, friends and local trans-portation services) that will help your dad get around after he stops driving. For tips on how to talk to your dad, the Hartford Financial Services Group and MIT AgeLab offers a variety of resources at safedrivingforalifetime.com – click on “Dementia and Driving.” Refuses To Quit If your dad refuses to quit you have several options. First, suggest a visit to his doctor who can give them a medi-cal evaluation, and “pre-scribe” that he stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doc-tor before they will listen to their own family. If he still refuses, con-tact your local Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they can help. Some states re-quire doctors to report new dementia cases to the DMV, who can revoke the person’s license. If all these fail, con-sider hiding his keys or just take them away. You could also disable his ve-hicle, park it in another location so he can’t see it or have access to it, or sell it. Send your senior ques-tions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

SMSH team reunites 40 years after title1975 Tigers wonschool’s fi rst basketball statechampionship St. Martinville Sr. High School’s 1975 bas-ketball team captured the school’s fi rst bas-ketball championship by defeating Peabody Magnet School of Alex-andria 51-42 to claim the Class AAA title. The team, coached by Lawrence Abraham, fi nished its champion-ship run with a 39-3 overall record. Members of the team, most now approaching 60 years old, gathered for a reunion in the school cafeteria on Fri-day, July 10, to renew friendships and share memories. Also invited to the gathering were mem-bers of the school’s 2002 team which won the state Class 4A championship under the direction of coach Darrel Mitchell, chalk-ing up a 37-4 season record.

Athletic jackets and special posters recalled the school’s state cham-pionship basketball teams from 1975 and 2002. (Henri C. Bienvenu)

Henderson – An en-gineering consulting fi rm is being chosen to make recommenda-tions for extension of sewer lines to the North Henderson Annex. At the July 13 meeting of the Town Council, May-or Sherbin Collette re-ported that there would probably be no state grant funding for the project. Collette recom-mended the fi rm of Domingue and Szabo, which has worked for Henderson in the past, but no council ac-tion was taken at this time. Councilman Jody Meche said that fund-ing the work should not be diffi cult through a bond issue or by other fi nancing options. In other business, the council approved the donation of a de-commissioned police car to a group organized by Parks Constable Da-

vid Dugas to refurbish worn-out government vehicles economically and return them to less-demanding offi cial use. Also, Meche report-ed that, since he ac-cepted a seat on the Atchafalaya Basin Le-vee District Board of Commissioners, he has been recommend-ing establishment of a fund to fi nance minor repairs. He said that when restoration of a large slide area is car-ried out, such a fund could allow contractors to make smaller repairs in the immediate area, when there are already “boots on the ground.”

St. Martinville – Seth Fontenot, convicted in Lafayette of manslaugh-ter in the 2013 shoot-ing death of 15-year-old Austin Rivault, will ap-parently serve his sen-tence in St. Martin Par-ish. Fontenot was booked into the St. Martin Par-ish Correctional Center on Wednesday, July 8, the day he was sen-tenced. Whether he will re-main here for the dura-tion of his sentence is a matter for the Louisiana Department of Correc-tions to disclose, the St. Martin Sheriff’s Of-fi ce said. DOC did not respond to Teche News’ inquiry. In a ruling the prose-cutors are calling too le-nient and even “illegal,” 15th Judicial District Judge Edward Rubin sentenced Fontenot, 21, to fi ve years in jail for the manslaughter conviction of Rivault, suspending all but 13

months. Assistant District At-torney J.N. Prather Jr. said Fontenot could be out in four months. The judge could have s e n t e n c e d F o n t e n o t to up to 40 years in jail for a man-s l a u g h t e r conv i c t i on and 10 years each for aggravated battery in the wounding of two other teens Fontenot apparently believed had tried to break into his

truck. Rubin handed down identical sentences for two aggravated battery convictions. They’ll run concurrently with the manslaughter sentence, which means there won’t be additional jail time for those convic-tions. Fontenot will serve his time in a low-securi-ty prison, not the Loui-siana State Penitentiary at Angola, his attorney, Thomas Guilbeau said on Wednesday. The prosecutor, Prather, said he will fi le

a writ with the Third Circuit Court of Appeal challenging the sen-tence. “I’m not real pleased with the decision,” Prather said afterwards. “I think an injustice was done and I think it has to be corrected.” “It’s not the duty of the court to mete out a sentence for vengeance or retribution,” Rubin said, calling the shoot-ing “an act of negli-gence.”

Fontenot was convicted in March. In the wee hours of Feb. 10, 2013, Fontenot grabbed a 9 mm pistol, ran outside his family’s home, and fi red three times at a pickup truck he said he believed car-ried someone who had tried to break into his vehicle. Fontenot testi-fi ed he fi red the shots to scare whoever was in the truck. But Rivault was hit in the back of his head, the driver,

15-year-old Cole Kelley, was shot in the leg, and another passenger, Wil-liam Bellamy, 15, was struck in the neck. Fontenot still faces felony charges for drug distribution that, if he’s convicted, could get him a longer sentence than he received for killing Rivault. According to Louisiana law, a con-viction of one count of Schedule II drug distri-bution carries a penalty of two to 30 years.

Now that I'm in my mid-20s, how can I help my mom understand I'm not a kid anymore? She seems unwilling or un-able to recognize that I'm now an adult. What can I do? Jim: Many parents have diffi culty allowing a son or daughter to sepa-rate from the parent-child relationship and move ahead into full adulthood. There can be any number of factors involved. For ex-ample, it's often a signifi -cant issue in families with a history of marital confl ict. The empty nest years can seem especially threat-ening to a woman who, for whatever reason, has been pouring her emotion-al energy into her children. In that context, I'd sug-gest that trying to under-stand your mother's view-point could be a good start. What might be motivating her to hang on to your childhood so tenaciously? That awareness can help inform a productive dis-cussion as two adults. Establishing healthy boundaries will require a degree of assertiveness on your part. As gently and lovingly as possible, let your mom know that you love her, but you need to start establishing more emotional independence. While she may initially feel rejected, she needs to understand and acknowl-edge that this is a normal part of anyone's growth and maturation process. Meanwhile, make sure that you're not enabling your mother to keep you in a childlike role. If you count on your parents for fi nancial support or al-low your mom to do your laundry every weekend,

you're contributing to the problem. If you're still liv-ing at home, this is a good time to think about moving out and getting your own place. Once out on your own, I would advise that you keep the lines of commu-nication open and contin-ue to be sensitive to your mom's feelings. Ultimately, your relationship with her is more important than most disagreements.

I've been dating a very good, kind young lady for about three months now, and in the process I've spent a lot of time with her entire family. I didn't antici-pate beginning to feel a stronger attraction to her sister, but that's exactly what has hap-pened. Bottom line: I'd like to pursue a deeper relationship with the sis-ter, but I don't want to be responsible for causing dissension within the family. Any advice? Greg Smalley, Vice President, Family Minis-tries: I suggest that you politely break up with the girl you've been dating and take a hiatus from any further contact with her family for a reasonable pe-riod -- maybe six months or so. That will allow time for the emotional dust to settle, for the girl and her family to heal, and for you to get in touch with your own feelings. At the end of that period, you can think about gradually re-

establishing contact with the sister -- if you still feel inclined to move ahead in that direction. Some people might experience pain in the pro-cess, but you can't control that. It isn't necessarily your fault, and you needn't view yourself as being di-rectly responsible for that aspect of the situation. At the same time, you do need to conduct yourself as a responsible person in all your deal-ings and interactions with these people. You need to respect the young lady you've been dating, and you also have an obliga-tion to display a proper regard for the relationship you've enjoyed with her and for the feelings of ev-ery member of her family. So I don't think it would be a good idea to simply dump her and rush straight into a new relationship with her sister. Back off and let things take their course for a while. At that point, everyone will be in a better position to proceed -- or not -- with wisdom and sensitivity.

2 arrests follow SM shooting St. Martinville – An early morning shooting Sunday, July 12, in the 200 block of N. Martin Luther King Jr. Street led to the arrest of Lee Roy Harrison III, 29, of St. Martinville. St. Martinville Po-lice Department detec-tives responding to 3:50 a.m. call of shots fi red found bullet holes in multiple vehicles and dwellings. According to police witnesses said a white truck with two passengers was travel-ing south on N. Martin Luther King when Har-rison began shooting at the vehicle as it passed his residence. The truck was struck three times in the tailgate and driv-er’s side door. No one was hit or injured as a result of this incident. After interviewing witnesses and obtain-ing a search warrant for a residence in the 200 block of N. Martin Luther King, Harrison was taken into custody at 7:30 p.m. July 12 on suspicion of two counts of attempted second degree murder, felon in possession of a fi re-arm, aggravated crimi-nal damage to property, possession of Schedule I narcotics, and posses-sion of a fi rearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance. In addition, Dumas Charles, 22, of St. Mar-tinville was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to distribute Schedule I narcotics, possession of drug par-aphernalia, and trans-action involving drug proceeds, all related to the execution of the search warrant on N. Martin Luther King.

College, then the Acadi-ana Technical College. It has been the home of the Evangeline cam-pus of the SLCC since 2012. In an email response to Teche News, SLCC Communication and Marketing Coordina-tor Christine Payton wrote that selection of the new location, one of three considered in St. Martin parish, was made by the 501c(3) non-profi t Louisiana

Community and Tech-nical Collage System Facilities Corporation. The choice, according to Payton, was based on road access, remote-ness from residential areas and room for fu-ture growth. Existing faculty and adminis-tration will be retained

in the move to the new facility. With drier conditions in the forecast, work is expected to resume soon. Payton wrote that the framing metal is expected to be shipped this month or next. The campus is scheduled to open in May of 2016.

was “so good … it would have done credit to pro-fessionals.” Hopefully the profes-sionals had gained a bit more stature than they enjoyed two decades earlier. In 1877, the editor of the Opelou-sas Courier decided: “Base ball, of which this country was once so proud as a manly out-door sport, has sunk into the mire.” He said the games had become “a gambling transac-tion, pure and simple,” and expressed the opin-ion that “professional base-ball … has ruined nearly every young man who has undertaken to make a living by it. As a healthy outdoor exer-cise for boys, base-ball cannot be too highly commended; as an em-ployment for grown-up men, it sinks below contempt.” By the 1890s, play-ers on most of the south Louisiana teams ap-parently received some pay, albeit not much. The winners of a game played during the 1892 Fourth of July celebra-tion at Donato’s Pas-ture near Opelousas split a $20 purse. When the Lafayette Favorites were orga-nized in 1895, they said they would play “for money or for glo-ry.” I fi nd no report on whether they collected either.

As best I can tell, the teams were not part of any organized league during the early days – they simply challenged each other. The Loui-siana Central League, formed in 1915, may have been the fi rst to be made up only of teams from the area. The fi rst four in the league were Youngsville, Broussard, New Iberia, and St. Martinville. The Weekly Mes-senger’s report said “games will be played under the Big League Rules, [and] the um-pire … will have power to remove any objec-tionable player.” There had apparently been some problem with offi ciating in games past. In 1894, for ex-ample, there was a big to-do after the La-fayette team walked off the fi eld in a game against Carencro. The manager of the Lafay-ette team claimed that they had no choice, as the umpire provided by Carencro was too cre-ative in his decisions. “We claim to be in-formed as to the latest rules governing base-ball playing,” the man-ager wrote to the news-paper, “but confess ignorance of the regu-lations governing the rulings of the umpire of our opponents. … We are certain we can easily defeat the Bayou Carencro club in a fair and square contest, and we offer to play a game with them for any

size purse, providing it be not on their own grounds and provided a disinterested umpire be chosen.” The Messenger was optimistic that St. Mar-tinville’s team would fi nally fi nd glory in the new Central League, proclaiming, “These games will give life to St. Martinville and … when the season ends, we expect our club to come out with the pen-nant.” But, alas, it ap-pears that as in the days when they played Fausse Pointe, the town’s nine still had to settle for moral victories instead of actual wins. The newspaper put the best light on it after a fi fth straight loss in that inaugural season: “The Youngsville team is composed of the fast-est college and semi-professional players in south Louisiana, and the fact that St. Martin held them down as well as they did, deserves notice.” You can contact Jim Brad-shaw at [email protected] or P.O.

established their fi rst settlement in this area. “Traveling down the Teche is highly symbol-ic, because it replicates what our ancestors did,” Bishop Provost said. “The Jewish peo-ple never forget their deliverance from Egypt and their arrival in the Promised Land. Acadi-ans should never forget their passage from exile to a new home.” Bishop Provost will take part by celebrat-ing the Mass of the As-sumption at St. Leo the Great Church in Leon-ville at 8 a.m. to begin the day. “To be invited to of-fi ciate this 250th an-niversary of the arrival of the Acadians to our area is very special in-deed, and for me a great privilege,” said Bishop Provost. “All of my an-cestors either came di-rectly from France or were part of this Aca-dian exile in the 18th century, and I am de-lighted to give recogni-tion to their faith, sac-rifi ce, and perseverance in time of struggle and suffering.” “After Mass, we will process with the Blessed Sacrament with a special monstrance built for the occasion to the Leonville boat landing and embark in a boat procession down the Teche toward St. Martinville,” said Father

Champagne, who has aided in the planning of this unique event. “The Blessed Sacra-ment will be fi xed on an altar on the lead boat under a canopy, with a pair of adorers between the towns visited. We will stop at the Catho-lic churches along the way for recitation of the rosary and Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-ment for those gathered at Arnaudville, Ceci-lia, Breaux Bridge, and Parks. “The boat procession will arrive at the Evan-geline Oak in St. Mar-tinville at about 4:45 p.m.,” Father Cham-pagne said. “We will then disembark and process into St. Martin de Tours Church for Benediction. The pro-cession will continue down Main Street to Mater Dolorosa Chapel for the celebration of Solemn Vespers of the Assumption and Final Benediction at 6 p.m.” “People should at-tend, especially descen-dants of the Acadian exiles, because they love their history, their family, their culture, and most importantly, their faith,” Bishop Pro-vost urged. “Acadians under-stand the importance of religious faith, family, tradition, and roots. No sports game, no televi-sion program, no yard work, and no idle pre-occupation is as impor-tant.” “We are hoping to

gather several hundred Catholics at each of the stops along the way, as well as in Leonville and St. Martinville,” Father Champagne said. “We would also like to reg-ister up to 100 boats in the procession, and people living along the bayou are encouraged to gather on the bay-ou bank and greet the Blessed Sacrament as it passes by.” To register a boat for the procession, send an email to fete-d ieuduteche@gmai l .com. Once the email is received, the registrant will be sent a registra-tion packet with further details. Boats may represent families, church par-ishes, Cursillo groups, Knights of Columbus or Knights of Peter Claver councils, or any oth-er religious groups or communities. “It is said that Bish-op Jeanmard wept ev-ery time he spoke of our Blessed Mother,” said Bishop Provost. “Who of us did not grow up praying the Rosary? Statues of Mary dot our landscape. Marian devotions are frequent in our churches. Mary has always reminded Catholics, especially the Acadian people, of a mother’s care. How can we forget this?” For more informa-tion contact Father Champagne at (337) 394-6550 or fete-d ieuduteche@gmai l .com.

was “horrendous” and that the neighborhood had become infested with fl ies. Angers said that each of the resi-dents had attempted to seek a remedy with the owner directly and found that he was “not interested in being a good neighbor.” The residents have sought a remedy from St. Martin Parish Gov-ernment. Parish Presi-dent Guy Cormier com-mended Angers for her patience and persis-tence after seeking rem-edies for more than two years. He said that dis-posal of crawfi sh pro-cessing waste became a problem after landfi lls in the area were closed

for environmental rea-sons in the 1980s. Planning and Zon-ing Coordinator Heath Babineaux reported that there are other, similar sites in the area. He said that the issue was not an easy one to deal with, legally, due to a carve-out of sorts for the use of these waste products. Called the Best Management Practices (BMP), the provision in state law promotes such uses, which are deemed environmentally valu-able. By all accounts the practice is legal, even though in some cases it can be very un-pleasant for neighbors. Cormier said that there still may be remedies available on the parish level. In other business,

the council presented awards to members of the St. Martin Parish Government Personnel Policies and Procedures Tactical Team. The team was assembled from parish employees to rewrite and modern-ize policies for parish employees. Cormier said that it was very unusual for a parish government to use an in-house group for this task, and it has proven to be very successful. Also, with the parish audit due in about two weeks, Cormier said that the auditor has told him to expect good news. He hinted that the audit was going to show the parish to be in the best fi nancial shape in the nearly 30 years that the fi rm has been engaged.

And Summer Weeps...I dread the hour that comes...My nemesis, the dark of nightCreeps slowly in, a cause for fright to all who love the light of dayNow..slowly....I fade away....

‘T’seems I’ve been here so brief...ly‘T’should not be his turn yetFor all who treasure the bright length of daysSoon must....this joy....forgetAs I, in quick decline, darkness slowly invadesFor gone is June, and the solstice soon,O’er the Earth, casting its shadeAnd I...forgotten...cast away...Another season...it’s nature’s way!

Summer care of your lawnDeLane Ross [email protected]

Breaux Bridge – Summer is the ma-jor growing season for lawns in Louisiana. If you did not fertil-ize your lawn during the spring, you still have time to fertilize and get your lawn in good shape prior to fall. Keep up a good fertility program through early to late August. Remember to apply all granular materials on a dry lawn. Then water soon after appli-cation. St. Augustine and zoysia grasses both re-spond well to fertilizer applications. Fertilize zoysia twice per grow-ing season – in April and again around June or July. St. Augustine grass may be fertilized three times during the growing season – April, June and mid-August. Bermuda grass is an even bigger fertilizer user and can be fertil-ized from three to eight times during the grow-ing season, especially if you like to mow grass. Carpet grass and cen-tipede grass are not big fertilizer users. Usu-ally, two applications (April and July) will take care of centipede grass, and one applica-tion will be suffi cient for carpet grass (April). Centipede grass should receive its sec-ond and fi nal fertilizer application in July. For centipede grass, apply only 1/2 pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet as a complete turf fertilizer.

For example, apply 3 pounds of 17-0-17 per 1,000 square feet or 5 pounds of 10-0-10 per 1,000 square feet. St. Augustine grass needs twice that rate. Fertilize St. Augus-tine grass, Bermuda grass and zoysia grass in June and again in early to mid-August with at least 1 pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. For example, apply 7 pounds of 13-13-13 per 1,000 square feet or 5 pounds of 19-19-19 per 1,000 square feet. Make sure lawns are getting adequate amounts of moisture during the summer months, but don’t over-water. Water deeply only once or twice per week – or as needed, based on the amount of rainfall. Centipede grass is the least tol-erant lawn to drought, so take care to provide adequate amounts of moisture for this grass, especially during dry periods. Watch for chinch bugs in St. Augustine grass and Bermuda grass lawns and treat with an LSU AgCen-ter recommended in-secticide. Chinch bug problems show up as yellowish brown areas of the lawn during hot, dry weather. These in-sects extract plant juices from turfgrass stems and crowns while pumping toxic salivary fl uids into the plants. The fl uids dis-rupt the plant’s vascu-lar system.

Check for chinch bugs in the lawn by saturating suspected areas with a gallon of water mixed with a few squirts of lemon dish-washing soap. This soapy solution irritates chinch bugs and brings them up near the grass surface so you can see them and determine if the bugs are causing the lawn damage. Additional insect problems that appear during the summer in-clude armyworms and tropical sod webworms. These moth larvae or “worms” can cause se-vere lawn damage very quickly and will need to be killed with insec-ticides to prevent fur-ther damage. Be mindful of these pests as you walk through your lawns. Investigate damaged areas and treat accord-ingly. Also this time of year, pull up small populations of Virginia buttonweed or careful-ly spot treat with herbi-cides like metsulfuron (TopShot, Mansion, MSM Turf) or Celsius. These herbicides work well with repeated ap-plication spaced four to six weeks apart. Met-sulfuron and Celsius can be safely applied on St. Augustine, cen-tipede, Bermuda and zoysia grasses during warm weather.

One Acadiana hires new VP for policy initiatives Lafayette – One Acadiana has hired a senior leader to coordinate policy research, analysis, and devel-opment activities for the nine-parish regional economic development orga-nization. Michael Hare, formerly deputy district director for Congressman Charles Boustany, will serve as vice president of Policy Initiatives. The position will be funded by The Campaign for One Acadiana, a fi ve-year regional economic de-velopment program that began its implementation in 2015. Hare will be responsible for leading a team to research and analyze One Acadiana’s policy goals and strategic initiatives, includ-ing those related to education, trans-portation infrastructure, government reform, workforce development, inno-vation, and small business. “This is very exciting time for Aca-diana,” Hare said. “Our business community has shown it is fully com-mitted to a regional vision for Aca-diana’s long-term growth and it’s a privilege to be leading one of the core strategies for One Acadiana. I’m look-

ing forward to joining the team and working closely with the organiza-tion’s member-based policy commit-tees, partners, and community stake-holders.” “Michael not only brings an impres-sive amount of experience to the One Acadiana team, he brings a deep love for our region,” said Jason El Koubi,

president and CEO of One Aca-diana. “His detailed knowledge of policy issues and commitment to service have distinguished him as a respected community leader. As a senior member of the team, there is no doubt he will continue to play a leading role in strengthening our regional economy. I’m fi red up to have Michael onboard.”

“Michael is a strong complement to a capable team,” said Ronnie Petree, senior vice president and Western Divi-sion leader for St. Martin Bank and One Acadiana board member. “Moving the ball on major policy issues like trans-portation infrastructure and workforce development requires an ability to build consensus throughout our nine-parish region, and Michael is the right person to lead that type of effort.” Hare began work at One Acadiana on June 29.

The sudden change in Romania brought more than the exchange of one political system for another. It was a massive revolution of the soul and spirit of a people. But how did some-thing so big and so impossible happen so quickly and so compre-hensively? It began with the way Scripture teaches that every heart, family, church, community, or nation is changed: with an unusual season of repentance. As the Ro-manian believers began to repent and cry out to God, extraordinary power was released in their lives. The little-told story of the revolution in Romania was that it was fueled by a revival in the Romanian church. If God can change a godless, atheistic, op-pressed country like Romania in a moment, then God’s supernatural intervention is possible in any nation. “As long as God is on His throne,” wrote Del Fehsenfeld Jr., “revival is as possible as the sun rising tomorrow morn-ing.” Two Christian lead-ers were leaving a meet-ing with the president in Washington, D.C., after the discussing the overwhelming moral and spiritual problems in America. Deeply dis-couraged, one of the leaders turned to the other and said, “If we don’t have revival, noth-ing else really matters.” Wisely, the other leader replied, “And if we do have revival, nothing else really matters!” There is no hope apart from revival. And there is no hope like re-vival. Hope is the faith and fuel that keeps on crying out to God for re-vival. There are many hope-killers at work in our society today. And as things keep getting worse and worse around us, it is easy to despair that things will never change. Hope-killers be-

lieve that we are nearing the end of the ages. And since the Bible talks about the rise of wick-edness before Christ’s return, we should not expect things to get bet-ter. However, histori-cally, revival has always turned the tide of evil for the glory of God. He al-ways has the last word (taken and adapted from: OneCry: A Nation-wide Call for Spiritual Awakening. For more information see: www.ONECRY.com). One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. “There was a judge in a certain city,” He said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dis-pute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but fi nally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’” Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just de-

cision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to His chosen people who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off? I tell you, He will grant jus-tice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will He fi nd on the earth who have faith” (Luke 18:1-8 NLT)? That is, the faith to pray and never give up? “If My people,” de-clares the LORD, “who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV).

An Article of FaithBy Jessie J. Charpentier Sr.

Baton Rouge – The TECHE Project is one of 32 organizations, agen-cies or municipalities to share in a $200,000 grant from Keep Louisi-ana Beautiful (KLB) as a part of the 2015-2016 Healthy Communities Grant Program. “We were thrilled to receive a record-break-ing number of appli-cations for this year’s grant program,” said KLB Executive Director Susan Russell. “Our af-fi liate and local commu-nity organizations are the on-the-ground force that promotes personal, corporate and commu-nity responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana. We’re ex-cited to see the impact that these organizations will have in their com-munities through the Healthy Communities Grant Program.” Since the program’s inception in 2004, KLB has awarded more than $2.7 million in grants. Grants have funded a variety of projects and programs, including school recycling initia-tives, teacher work-shops, litter enforce-ment, litter abatement programs, clean cam-pus competitions and neighborhood cleanups. Since 2009, the vol-unteers of The Teche Ecology, Culture and History Education Proj-ect have strived to make Bayou Teche a healthier waterway for fi shing, kayaking, canoeing, boating, tubing and – eventually, perhaps – even swimming. Sharing the 2015-2016 Healthy Commu-nities Grant with The TECHE Project are: As-sumption ARC , City of DeRidder, City of New Roads, Coopera-tive Baptist Fellowship of Louisiana, Down-town Monroe Alliance, Friends of City Park, Grant Parish Sheriff’s

Glenn Michael Angelle expressed his concern about the three sections R-1, R-2 and R-3, where no mobile homes would be allowed there ex-cept for the existing mobile homes already there. However according to Ordinance #2208, no one living there would be able to upgrade to another mobile home. Mr. Angelle is concerned about his district because there are many of his constituents who live in mobile homes and would be affected by this ordinance. Mayor Ricky Calais explained the reason we need this ordinance is to help clean up the properties in the city limits of Breaux Bridge. Mr. Angelle asked the mayor whose recommendation was it for R-4 and not R-1, R-2, and R-3 Mayor Calais stated that R-4 is designated for mobile homes and it would be the only areas mobile homes would be allowed inside the city limits of Breaux Bridge according to Ordi-nance #2208 Mr. Angelle replied that most of the people who purchase mobile homes move in on family property because R-4 is strictly mobile home parks. Mr. Angelle said currently they have to get three signatures form three adjacent properties to be able to move their mobile home on someone’s property because that is all they can afford. Mayor Calais replied that he had been getting information from differ-ent people with their concerns about movable homes near their property. Mayor Calais discussed this matter with Becky Blanchard and Mr. Wilson Thibodaux who are on the Planning and Zoning Committee, and consulted with Attorney Chester Cedars. They suggested that if mobile homes would be allowed in Sections R-1, R-2 and R-3 instead of just section R-4, more restrictions would be necessary at this present time. Mayor Calais suggested that if this ordinance is not passed then the requirement for signatures from sur-rounding home owners should be at least within 500 feet instead of just three signatures due to the effect this would have on the values of the sur-rounding properties. Mr. Angelle responded saying there are numerous lots available for

mobile homes where three people did not agree to sign. Mr. Alvin H. Jones asked if some-one that has a trailer already on a lot that is not in R-4 and decided to upgrade to a new mobile home if they were able to do so. Mr. Angelle replied not according to ordinance #2208. Mr. Champagne suggested we may be infringing on the Constitution-al rights of the people. He also sug-gested not to rush into a decision and fi nd out legally how for the council is able to put restrictions and certain requirements. Mr. Champagne also said that if the certain requirements were passed the key would be to en-force the new restrictions. Mayor Calais replied whatever Or-dinance is passed by the City Council it will be enforced. Ms. Brenda Castille Hobbs ex-plained that she understood about the three signatures for a mobile home to be put on a certain property however she feels it should expand the circle of contact because the people across the street from the property are as much in jeopardy as for as the value of the property. She did explain that there are not as many mobile homes in her district, but if any were to be added she would want to make sure a contingency of neighbors would have some input into this matter. Mr. Angelle said that if someone in his district wanted to replace their existing mobile home to a new one Or-dinance #2208 would not allow that. Attorney Chester Cedars ex-plained that Ordinance #2208 is to regulate and protect the public inter-est. Mr. Champagne suggested that the city council review the ordinance and see if some kind of compromise could be met that would benefi t every-one in the City of Breaux Bridge before accepting Ordinance #2208. Upon motion of Gary Champagne, duly seconded by Brenda Castille Hobbs and unanimously carried, the public input on Ordinance #2208 was closed. Upon motion of Glenn Michael Angelle, duly seconded by Alvin H. Jones, and unanimously carried, Or-dinance #2208 was deferred indefi -nitely. Upon motion of Brenda Castille Hobbs, duly seconded by Gary Cham-pagne and unanimously carried, the public hearing on Ordinance #2209 (An Ordinance to amend the Com-prehensive Zoning ordinance(s) of the City of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, including without limitations, Ordi-nance #1049 to establish a special zoning classifi cation for home based occupations.) was opened for public input. Mr. Daniel Redman spoke con-cerning his residence which is located at 320 Guilbeaux Street where he has a home base business since 1983 as licensed real estate broker and he is also involved in Oil, Gas, and Mineral management. One of his concerns about the ordinance was section 4.28.4 #11 concerning the hours he must conduct any kind of business which is 7:30 A.M. till 6:00 P.M. He said in 32 years he has never had a customer come to his home. It was al-ways done by telephone. He objected to the ordinance because if a person is a notary, he usually does business after these specifi ed hours and on weekends. City Attorney Cedars explained that a home based occupation is be-ing allowed in a residential area. He also stated that a residential area is not designed to accommodate busi-ness active or commercial activity. It is designed to keep traffi c from going in and out of a residential area. Upon motion of Brenda Castille Hobbs, duly seconded by Gary Cham-pagne and unanimously carried, the public hearing on Ordinance #2209 was closed. Upon motion of Gary Champagne, duly seconded by Alvin H. Jones and unanimously carried, Ordinance #2209 was adopted with the following amendments and revisions.ORDINANCE NUMBER 2209 An ordinance to amend Article II of Ordinance 1049 relative to the defi nition of “home occupation”, and to amend Article IV of Ordinance 1049 by the addition of Sections 4.28-4.28.5, all relative to the regulation of home occupationsBE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Al-dermen for the City of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, duly convened in regu-lar session of the 9th day of, June 2015, that Article II of Ordinance 1049 be amended by revisions to the defi nition of “home occupation” and that Article IV of Ordinance 1049 be amended by the enactment of Sec-tions 4.28-4.28.5, as follows: Defi nitions: For the purpose of this ordinance, certain terms and words are hereby defi ned.

Breaux Bridge – The offi cial map of the Bay-ou Teche Paddle Trail has won Best of Cate-gory in an international competition between mapmakers. Results of the Cartog-raphy and Geographic Information Society Map Design Competi-tion, held at Montgom-ery College in Rock-ville, Md., this spring, were just recently an-nounced. The competition was open to all mapmak-ers in the United States and Canada for maps completed or published during 2014. The Bayou Teche Paddle Trail and Cul-tural and Historical Map was named Best of Category in Recreation-al/Travel Maps. The map is a 12-by-30-inch color, waterproof map with one side depicting the paddle trail and the opposite side focused on the signifi cant cul-tural and historical as-pects of Bayou Teche. The map will be en-tered into Library of Congress in Washing-ton, D.C. The Louisiana Geo-logical Survey worked with the TECHE Proj-ect to produce the map. The TECHE Project is a non-profi t organiza-tion which manages the Bayou Teche Pad-dle Trail, one of only 18 U.S. Department of Interior-designated Na-tional Water Trails in the country. Cartographer Lisa Pond and GIS special-ist Robert Paulsell, both of the Louisiana Geo-logical Survey, are the award recipients.

“This award show-cases the qualities that make Bayou Teche Pad-dle Trail such an as-set to the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area: history, culture and ex-cellence in outdoor rec-reation, and recognizes the efforts of dedicat-ed volunteers and the value of partnerships.” said Debra Credeur, director of the Atchafa-laya National Heritage Area. The TECHE Project was the recipient of the National Park Service Recreation, Trails and Conservation Assis-tance program and has since been included in the U.S. Department of

Interior National Water Trail System. During this time, the TECHE Project worked with citizens, paddlers, lo-cal businesses, parish tourism commission-ers, the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana and the Atchafalaya Na-tional Heritage Area to gather information for the map. The historical and cultural annotations on the map were pro-vided by Dr. Shane K. Bernard, author of the forthcoming book Teche: A History of Lou-isiana’s Most Famous Bayou. “The Louisiana Geo-logical Survey was great to work with,” said project co-manager and TECHE Project council member Dane Thibodeaux. “We have over 250 years of information to include

along 135 miles of bayou. Ms. Pond and Mr. Paul-sell did an exceptional job putting the Bayou Teche Paddle Trail on the map and we are proud to share it with the public whether they are pad-dling the bayou or visit-ing one of our tourism of-fi ces.” The Bayou Teche Paddle Trail is part of a growing trend in low-impact, nature-based recreation in the state including bicycling, trail-running, hiking and kayaking. “As we move forward to build a low-impact, culture and nature based recreation econ-omy in Acadiana, we are pleased to make an award-winning map part of the suite of tools and products for users, planners, local businesses, and tour-

ism professionals,” said TECHE Project execu-tive director, Conni Cas-tille. Maps can be found at Cajun Paddle in Breaux Bridge, Pack & Paddle in Lafayette, Le Vieux Vil-lage Tourist Information
