A majority of the proceeds raised from the event, held annually in memory of Dillion Shicksnider, is donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association with the rest given to a local child currently afflicted with a muscular disease.
Pipeline may carry river sediment to area marshes By Meredith Burns Daily Comet Staff Writer
Lafourche’s plan for Restore Act money proposes setting aside $434,760 for engineering and permitting to build marsh in the parish’s southern reaches using sediment from the Mississippi River. The parish’s multi-year plan, open for public comment on the parish’s website, outlines how officials plan to spend $1.3 million relating to the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. One of the five projects in the plan piggybacks off a larger one designed to transport river sediment to the Barataria Basin via a long-distance pipeline stretching through Plaquemines, Jefferson and Lafourche parishes. The project now up for discussion will bring sediment farther west to build marsh around the Bayou L’Ours area, which is experiencing “catastrophic” land loss, according to the plan. Archie Chaisson, Lafourche Parish administrator, said Jefferson Parish has proposed putting some of its own Restore Act dollars toward engineering to bring the pipeline through the Barataria waterway all the way to Clovelly in
Lafourche. “Our plan is if they’re going to design the pipe to come across, then we’re going to design below it where we know we can build with it,” he said. “So they’re going to pay for the top leg and we’re going to pay for the bottom leg.” See Pipeline Page 6-A

Study: Are we shifting to fewer, weaker Atlantic hurricanes? SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new but controversial study asks if an end is coming to the busy Atlantic hurricane seasons of recent decades. The Atlantic looks like it is entering in to a new quieter cycle of storm activity, like in the 1970s and 1980s, two prominent hurricane researchers wrote Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience. Scientists at Colorado State University, including the professor who pioneered hurricane seasonal prognostication, say they are seeing a localized cooling and salinity level drop in the North Atlantic near Greenland. Those conditions, they
theorize, change local weather and ocean patterns and form an on-again, off-again cycle in hurricane activity that they trace back to the late 1800s. Warmer saltier water produces periods of more and stronger storms followed by cooler less salty water triggering a similar period of fewer and weaker hurricanes, the scientists say. The periods last about 25 years, sometimes more, sometimes less. See Hurricanes Page 6-A
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The major candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and other statewide offices have been campaigning for months. But they can’t appear on the Oct. 24 ballot unless they submit their sign-up paperwork. Tuesday was the start of the election qualifying period, where candidates officially add their names to the ballot. The sign-up period runs for three days, through Thursday. Candidates seeking the top jobs on the ballot — including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, treasurer and insurance commissioner — must pay their qualifying fees and file their paperwork at the secretary of state’s office in Baton Rouge located at 8585 Archives Ave. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. daily.

Larose man indicted for aggravated rape
A Larose man was indicted by a Lafourche Parish grand jury for the aggravated rape of a woman in the 1980’s. Warren Danos, 81, is accused of Warren DAnos raping a young girl over a period of time during the mid- to late-eighties. The victim, who was born in 1977, came forward in December of 2014 with the allegations against Danos. The case was presented to the grand jury by First Assistant District Attorney Kristine Russell and ADA Stephen Caillouet. Because aggravated rape carries a mandatory punishment of life in prison, there is no statute of limitations under Louisiana law. The Hon. John E. LeBlanc originally set the defendant’s bond at $5,000 based on the arrest warrant, but following his indictment it was increased to $200,000 by the Hon. F. Hugh Larose. Larose also ordered that Danos be taken into custody subject to the new bail obligation, as he had been free after posting the original bond. See Danos Page 6-A
