Chairman questions transparency in Parish Government

Y

Anyone who attended last Tuesday’s council meeting surely felt the uneasy silence in the council chambers when Lafourche ParishW President Jimmy Cantrelle refused to answer questions put to him by Council Chairman Corey Perrillioux.

The questions were in response to the administration’s barring of Internal Auditor Reggie Bagala from observing budget meetings, which Bagala attempted to attend at the request of Perrillioux.

Perrillioux said he wanted Bagala to attend and report back to the council, but “the door was shut in his face.”

While referring to the parish website’s “Transparency and Open Government” tab, Perrillioux asked Cantrelle, “What is your legal reasoning for keeping council members and our internal council

VOLUME 28 NUMBER 37

Editor’s note: If you don’t have HBO, find a friend who does and offer to bring the popcorn because this is one story you do not want to miss!

On June 15, 2015, Dee Dee Blanchard was found murdered in her Springfield, Mo. home, and her wheelchair-bound daughter, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, was reported missing.

But after Gypsy was tracked to Wisconsin and implicated in the murder, what started out as a grisly tale of matricide morphed into a bizarre story of deception and abuse.

Erin Lee Carr (“Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop”) returns to HBO to explore another true-crime story in the age of social media in MOMMY DEAD AND DEAREST, a shocking look at one of psychology’s

most controversial conditions: Munchausen by proxy syndrome.

Featuring exclusive interviews with Gypsy Rose Blanchard from prison, the provocative documentary untangles a web of lies, child abuse, mental illness and forbidden love when it debuts Monday, May 15 at 9 p.m. Central Time.

Following the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard and the disappearance of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a Facebook post stating, “That Bitch is Dead,” led investigators to Wisconsin.

In the disturbing sequence of events that ensued, Gypsy was implicated in her mother’s murder and it was discovered she had been the victim of her mother’s abuse via Munchausen by proxy syndrome since early childhood.

MOMMY DEAD AND DEAREST unravels this complicated tale of a mother whose deception subjected her daughter to decades of unnecessary medical treatment – until she reached her tragic breaking point.

Follow the tale of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Dee Dee Blanchard, formerly from the south Lafourche area, and who stills has family who reside here, their stories of Dee Dee, and the almost unbelievable journey of mother and daughter.

In addition to candid interviews with Gypsy from prison, the film features interviews with her father and stepmother, Rod and Kristy Blanchard; Dee Dee’s father and stepmother, Claude and Laura Pitre; Dr. Bernardo Flasterstein, a pediatric neurologist who was one of the few to raise concerns about Dee Dee’s claims; Gypsy’s lawyer, Mike Stanfield; Greene County prosecutor Dan Patterson; Dr. Marc Feldman, an expert on Munchausen by proxy syndrome; and journalist Michelle Dean, who covered the story for BuzzFeed, among others.

Dee Dee had moved to Springfield after Hurricane Katrina, and Gypsy became known there as a wheelchair-bound girl suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy and seizures.

House panel quashes bill to allow permit-less conceal carry

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Lawmakers have once again struck down a proposal to allow Louisiana residents to carry a concealed gun without a permit.

A House panel voted 85 Wednesday against Rep. Barry Ivey’s “constitutional carry” measure.

State law allows people to openly carry a gun without a permit. In order to conceal a handgun, though, residents must be trained, undergo a background check and have their fingerprints taken.

Supporters of Ivey’s bill said the permit requirements, which include fees, are costly and prevent lawabiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment right.

Opponents said the permitting process keeps concealed guns in the hands of responsible people.

This was the third attempt from Ivey, a Baton Rouge Republican, to have Louisiana join a dozen other states that don’t require permits.

A Law Firm Focused On Maritime Law

Mommie From 1-A

The community rallied around the pair, with neighbors and national organizations providing donations, housing and even trips to Disney World.

But it was all a lie: Gypsy’s ailments were entirely the invention of Dee Dee, who deceived doctors, friends, neighbors, family members and even Gypsy’s father, Rod. At his home in south Lafourche with his current wife, Kristy, Rod recalls how Dee Dee said their daughter had sleep apnea at three months old, which snowballed into other disorders over the years.

When Rod and Dee Dee’s families became suspicious of Dee Dee’s claims, she moved with Gypsy to Springfield and even added an ‘e’ to the end of her name which is uncommon in the spelling of Blanchard. “Right from birth, three months old, D was telling me she (Gypsy) had CPAP and needed a breathing machine, which to this day I don’t know if that was real or not. It escalated from then ‌ problems with her eyes, hearing, digestive system. After that, Gypsy couldn’t walk anymore, she had a muscular disorder. Dee Dee told me she needed a wheelchair. I asked her, man she has a lot of issues. They did a test and it showed she had a chromosome disorder.

Dee Dee told me she’s not going to live to be 18 years old. To see her 23 years old now, perfectly healthy, it pisses me off,� said Rod. “It breaks my heart knowing she got put through all of this when she didn’t need to. You supposed to love and protect your children, how can you do this to your child?� said Kristy.

From prison, Gypsy describes her mom as “unique� and “overprotective,� adding, “I really

Dee Dee told Gypsy she had asthma, epilepsy, hearing and vision problems, and mental retardation, and convinced her she was younger than her actual age. Gypsy was on dozens of medications, which induced symptoms of illnesses she didn’t have.

She also had a feeding tube that had to be periodically replaced through a painful procedure. “‘Mind boggling’ is the only way I can put [Dee Dee’s] ability to manipulate people,� says Gypsy’s lawyer, Mike Stanfield.

Rod added, “Her sister told me once, ‘you know Rod, Gypsy can walk.’ So I asked Dee Dee about it and she told me that with her muscular dystrophy her muscles hurt and it gets progressively worse. It wasn’t long after that when they started moving fur-

One of Gypsy’s doctors suspected Munchausen by proxy syndrome, but it can be difficult to prove. After Gypsy attempted to run away – only to be tracked down by Dee Dee a few hours later – the pair was visited by police on a tip that Gypsy was being abused, but Dee Dee convinced the officers her daughter was well cared for, and later met with a lawyer to declare Gypsy mentally incompetent.

However, Gypsy was able to carve out a secret life online, where she met Nick Godejohn on a Christian dating site. A year into their relationship, Gypsy told Godejohn about Dee Dee, and they devised a plan. According to Gypsy, she let Godejohn into the house one night, and he stabbed Dee Dee repeatedly while she hid in the bathroom.

The couple fled to Nick’s family in Wisconsin, but were apprehended after Gypsy’s Facebook posts boasting about the murder. Citing mitigating circumstances, the prosecution lowered the charge to second-degree murder, and Gypsy pleaded guilty.

Sentenced to ten years in prison, she will be 32 upon release. Nick Godejohn is still awaiting trial. “We agreed to do this film, with no money involved, to bring some sort of understanding and truth about all Gypsy’s been through. When she’s released, she’ll come back here to live and we hope the community will accept her and understand the life she was forced to live,� added Rod. “Without Mike Stanfield, Gypsy’s court-appointed lawyer, we couldn’t have brought all this to light. He was so instrumental in bringing forth the details of the mental abuse she suffered. Also, without the HBO crew, we couldn’t have gotten her story told,� said Kristy.

MOMMY DEAD AND DEAREST was directed and produced by Erin Lee Carr; produced by Andrew Rossi; co-producers, Alison Byrne and Andrew Coffman; editor, Andrew Coffman; director of photography, Bryan Sarkinen; music, Ian Hultquist.

auditor out of meetings that deal with capital projects or budgetary matters, sir?�

As he often does when asked unexpected questions, Cantrelle said nothing. Then he turned to his staff for help.

Interim Administrator Tommy Lasseigne attempted to respond to Perrillioux, saying, “It’s not a legislative function.�

But Perrillioux cut him off, “I didn’t ask you, sir. I asked the parish president.�

Cantrelle finally replied that he was not going to answer that question. “I have asked you to submit your questions so we can research them and give you the answers you need. Ya’ll refuse to do that. When you do what I ask, I’ll answer you,� said Cantrelle. “I am waiting for you to answer,� said Perrillioux. “Well, you’ll wait a long time,� said Cantrelle.

Silence for several seconds.

Councilman Jerry Jones asked Cantrelle, “Do you think the public has a right to know what’s going on?� “Sure they do,� returned Cantrelle. “But I refuse to answer any questions or be part of this circus that’s going on.�

More questions from Perrillioux were unanswered. “This is your policy Mr. Cantrelle. What needs researching about your policy?�

More silence, then Cantrelle reiterated his request that questions to be submitted prior to meetings. “If you do what I ask, I’ll answer your questions,� he stated. “We don’t work for you.

We don’t have to abide by your rules about ques-

tions,� answered Perillioux.

Reggie Bagala, in his council report, referred to emails from Interim Administrator Tommy Lasseigne in which he was informed he was not allowed to attend administration meetings.

Governmental “transparency�, said Bagala, is one that “operates under the premise that meetings of public bodies of financial capital projects or of a policy-altering nature should be open for observation by the legislative branch.�

Lasseigne said the reason Bagala was barred was because “it’s not a legislative branch function. This went to the DA. This has happened before. When I was a councilman, I never sat in on any meetings. It was point-blank clear. It was not a legislative function ‌ to think that ‌ when Mr. Cantrelle is in negotiations, to think that we’re going to notify somebody to have somebody in there during all these negotiations is irrational!â€?

The Lafourche Parish Home Rule Charter states that the Internal Auditor “shall be responsible for reporting to the Council on budgetary and financial matters relating to the Parish ‌ â€?

But it says nothing about where they should be observed. Nor does it say where the line is drawn between the functions of legislative and executive branches of government.

Ergo, the question of exactly what “transparency� means.

While the distrust between parish administration and the legislative branch continues to grow, where the parish president and council members stand on the “transparency� question depends on how each one interprets the Charter.

In Loving Memory on Mother’s Day

MONDA LOPEZ

Born: 10/5/85 Died: 6/7/14 Heaven Needed Mom So many things of Mom I miss, her gently hug and tender kiss. I can still feel her warm embrace, and picture yet her loving face.

A mother’s tasks are never done. And Heaven must have needed one.

For angels came and took her hand, and led her to God’s promised land.

She’s surely kept quite busy there, while brushing little angel’s hair. And making sure they’re dressed just right, not staying out too late at night.

Although there’s sadness, this I know, She’s waiting there, her face aglow. I close my eyes and I can see, her arms still open wide for me.

Love, Lazaro, Jr & Rosa ________________

My Angel up in Heaven, I hope you understand; that I would give anything, if I could hold your hand. I’d hold you oh so tightly, and never let you go; and all the love inside of me, to you I would show.

My Angel up in Heaven, for now we are apart; You’ll always live inside of me, deep within my heart.

BARBARA CHOUEST

The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two; one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep; and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday; but missing you is heartache that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again.

Love you, Yvonne and Dwayne _______________

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up about what you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can end with something promising.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through.

The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take the emotional plunge, Cancer.

Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio. Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being.

Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.

I’ll celebrate instead of cry, another Mother’s Day is here and I still miss having you near.

You were the best mom you could be, and I never once doubted your love for me.

I could spend each Mother’s Day in sorrow, crying and wishing you were here; but instead I choose to celebrate your life, a life I still hold so dear.

I know you’d rather see me smile, than stand here with tears in my eyes.

So I’ll do my best to honor your memory, and you’ll live on as long as I am alive.

Make sure your property’s assessed value is correct

Some homeowners can’t wait to see the assessed value of their home drop. In fact, they’ll tell you the bigger the drop, the better. Why? Your property taxes depend on your tax rate and your property’s current market value, which is determined by a local assessor. You can’t dispute the tax rate, but you may be able to show why the assessed value is too high.

An appeal that results in a lower value could save you money for years to come.

Find out when you can file an appeal. Start the process by determining when you can appeal your home’s value assessment.

You may be able to find the deadline on your local assessor’s website, which might also have instructions on how to file an appeal.

Some areas have a several-month window each year for appeals, often following the annual mailing of assessment value notices.

In addition, you might be able to dispute your property’s assessment following a renovation or if you just bought the home.

Check your current assessment for errors. Every year, you should receive an official letter stating the assessed value of your home.

If you think your property value is lower than the stated value, start collecting proof to demonstrate your reasoning.

One of the first things to look for is a mistake on your property’s description, which may be on the letter you received or on your property card — available at the assessor’s office or online.

It’s not unheard of for a property card to list an extra bathroom or incorrect square footage. Assessors aren’t always able to look inside a home during an inspection, and they might not know about renovations to a home.

Make a note of errors and try to estimate the value of each. You’ll be able to use these as a basis for your appeal.

Gather more evidence.

To strengthen your appeal, you may want to find addi-

Those individuals have been booked with, not convicted of, the offenses shown. All accused should be presumed innocent until proved guilty.

tional evidence.

Make a list of comparable properties. Try to get a list of four to six similar properties in your area and their market value. You could use real estate websites that list recent or estimated sales prices, ask your neighbors or look through public databases to find official assessed values. If you find the homes’ sales prices or assessed values are lower than yours, or similar but your home is in worse condition, you may have a strong argument.

Estimate the cost of repairs. A leaky roof, cracked driveway or another issue could lower your property’s value. Make a list of the faults, estimate cost for repairs and take pictures as proof.

Make a note of changes in your neighborhood. A property’s value depends on more than just the home. If nearby houses were recently foreclosed on or the schools’ rankings dropped, your property could be worth less than it was before.

Get a professional assessment. You could hire a state-certified appraiser to estimate your property’s current value. However, the assessment might cost $300 to $500, and this might only be a good idea if your research already looks fruitful. In some areas, you may need an official assessment to file an appeal.

Once you organize your evidence, it’s time to file an appeal.

Present your findings.

The appeal process varies depending on where you live. If you have a simple scenario, such as a mistake on your property card, you might be able to make your appeal over the phone. But some counties require you to submit the appeal online or by mail, or you may have to schedule an in-person review at the assessor’s office.

It could take several weeks to months to hear back. If the decision doesn’t come back in your favor, you could file another appeal with an independent review board.

Bottom line: After gathering evidence, you can make a showing for why your home’s assessed value is too high and potentially lower your property taxes.

But think twice if you’re considering selling your home soon. A lower assessed value might affect how much someone is willing to pay for the home.

What a Life!

What makes a good Mother? Is it patience?

Compassion? Broad hips?

Or is it heart? Is it the ache she feels when she watches her son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?

The following job description for a Mother: Position: Mother, Mom, Mama Job Description: Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which include evenings and weekends and frequent 24-hour shifts on call.

Some overnight travel required, including primitive camping trips on rainy

weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed.

Extensive courier duties are also required.

Responsibilities: Lifelong commitment to the education, development and growth of those in her charge physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.

Also, must possess the physical stamina to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat when the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be able to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, simultaneously.

Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.

Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.

Must be able to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, and embarrassment the next.

Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic

toys, and battery operated devices.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

Possibility for Advancement and Promotion: Virtually none. Her job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in her charge can ultimately surpass her.

Experience: None required unfortunately. Onthe-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

Wages and Compensation: Amazingly, she pays those in her charge with frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn eighteen because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.

When she dies, she gives them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that she actually enjoys it and wishes she could only do more.

Benefits: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition re-

As the investigations continued, detectives developed LeBouef as a suspect in multiple instances of theft in the South Lafourche area in which several items were stolen including a generator, a tire, several gas cans, money boxes from a car wash and a church donation box, and food items from an outdoor refrigerator.

Detectives initially arrested Rios and LeBouef on May 3 and charged each with Illegal Possession of

Stolen Things and Misdemeanor Theft at that time.

Rios’ bond was set at $10,000.

As detectives continued their investigation into LeBouef over the next several days, she was additionally booked with two additional counts of Misdemeanor Theft and one count of Felony Theft, as well as Simple Burglary and four counts of Monetary Instrument Abuse.

LeBouef’s bond is set at $95,000, and she is also being held for Louisiana Probation and Parole.

Detectives say addi-

tional charges are likely as the investigations continue.

Sheriff Webre is asking anyone who may have been a recent victim of theft, especially in the Larose area, to contact the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office to report it at (985) 532-2808 if you have not already done so.

Anyone who has recently reported a theft and has reason to believe one or both of these individuals may have been involved, please contact LPSO or the deputy investigating your case.
