Board adds contingency plan to superintendent policy By Halle Parker Daily Comet Staff Writer
With the unexpected medical leave for Superintendent Louis Voiron this summer, the School W added a continBoard gency plan for who will temporarily assume the role in the future. Introduced by Board Member Ray Bernard, the revision to the policy detailing the superintendent’s legal status added a paragraph. It states that the district’s director of middle and secondary education will serve as acting superintendent “if the superintendent is unable to perform his/her duties as a result of death, incapaci-

~~NEW LISTING~~
Work continues to shore up levees around Pointe-aux-Chenes in case any new storms roll through Terrebonne and Lafourche this year. The two parish governments and the three area levee districts, North Lafourche, South Lafourche and Terrebonne, have joined to strengthen levees around in the border area where most of the flooding was concentrated during Hurricane Barry last month. Reach K of the Morganza levee in Pointe-aux-Chenes essentially breached during the storm, causing flooding to about 12 homes in the area, mostly on the Lafourche Parish side, Terrebonne Levee District Director Reggie Dupre said. The levee was still under construction, consisting mainly of wet dredge material that wasn’t shaped and finalized, leading to the overtopping and breach. The South Lafourche Levee District and the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District are working together to build up a redundant See Project Page 3-A
Adams to run for District 8 Council seat
Alces Adams announces his candidacy Alces Adams for the Lafourche Parish Council District 8 seat in the following statement: I am a candidate for the District 8 seat on the Lafourche Parish Council, but mine will be an unusual candidacy. I work for Rouse’s in Cut Off, not enough people bought the 3 books I published, and no one is looking to record my music. So I can’t afford signs, pushcards, ads, or the usual campaign hoopla. If I can’t afford it, why run? If a person has the knowledge, education, and experience to do the job better than the opposition, it’s his duty to offer himself See Adams Page 3-A

El Paso and Dayton, now what? By Glenn Mollette Contributing Writer
Americans have grieved over the senseless murders of 31 people recently gunned down in an El Paso, Texas Walmart and a Dayton, Ohio nightclub. People were out living the American dream, shopping and having a night of fun. They were just living their lives. Their lives were taken from them by men armed with automatic assault rifles and the element of surprise. People were living their lives and minding their own business. They weren’t prepared for someone with an assault weapon unleashing enough bullets to kill 22 people in El Paso and 9 people in Dayton. The attacker always has the upper hand. The attacker plots out the place, determines a time and loads his gun to the max. Unless someone or several people are standing guard and watching very close, the attacker will be able to kill and maim almost easily before the police show up. The Dayton, Ohio police arrived in less than a minute to kill the shooter. What if they had taken two or three minutes? I don’t think we would have faulted police for arriving in three minutes. However, if they had taken longer than the 40 seconds that it took them to arrive, 30 people or more might have been killed in Dayton alone. Most everyone is saying we need to do something in America.
Many Americans have ideas on what should be done. We should have the right to protect ourselves. In Kentucky most everyone over 21 can carry a gun and without a license. If either of these shooters had walked into a Walmart in Kentucky or a nightclub in Louisville they would have gotten off some shots but they would likely have been met with numerous firearms coming right back at them. Mass shooters are mentally ill people who have allowed the darkness of evil to take control of their lives. Such people must be detected by society and cannot be allowed to own automatic weapons. They also need intense help that few Americans are equipped to render. Mental health workers, licensed clinical social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors who have received adequate training are in demand and the demand is growing off the chart. Millions of Americans are mentally ill and need help. Offering mental help has to be incorporated into the health education classes of our schools. All school districts must now employ not just one but several qualified counselors. One person can’t handle the load. Our political leaders must now come together and agree on universal background checks for all weapons purchased. A special license should be required for assault weapons. I own several pistols and a three shot automatic shotgun. I’ve
never felt that I needed a rifle with the capacity to shoot 50 or 70 rounds. Walmart, churches, schools, nightclubs all have to be on guard. We all must have security plans. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If two security guards with semiautomatic pistols had been standing outside the Walmart in El Paso or the nightclub in Dayton, the mass murders could possibly have been prevented. Mass murderers are cowards who want to kill defenseless people. Finally, we have to stop the hate. Let’s stop it everywhere from politics to social media, to the highways and to our national media. Let’s get hate out of television programs and our music. Churches, schools, families, our elected leaders and all of us must work together to help this nation have a revival of love, respect, equality and helping each other.

drainage levee around the breached area. The drainage levee provides secondary protection inside the Morganza system, South Lafourche Levee District Director Windell Curole said. Dupre said the levee will protect about 5 to 6 feet of water from flooding the area if surges rise again. “That will considerably mitigate the chances of repeating the flooding we saw,” Dupre said. The South Lafourche district is also working to shape the levee on the southern portion of the levee and extend it north, Curole said. The redundant levee will run from the floodgate at Bayou Pointeaux-Chenes, along Grand Bayou north for six miles, he said. Improvements are expected to be made within the next six months. “We’re making improvements on our system because we don’t know when the next big storm is,” Curole said. Lafourche and Terrebonne governments, along with the levee districts are moving forward with an interim plan to place HESCO baskets on the existing

levees in lower Pointeaux-Chenes to increase the height and protection. Parts of the levee that stayed intact held back as much as 3 feet of water, Curole said If the area sees another 8 to 9 foot storm surge, the new measures will likely alleviate the kind of flooding seen during Barry, but nothing is certain, Curole and Dupre said. “Everything is about improving the situation,” Curole said. “When dealing with hurricanes, we can never solve it totally. We’re working hard to reduce the change of flooding from happening in a major way.” Terrebonne Parish is also planning to expedite completion of the fivemile reach of the Morganza Levee between Montegut and Pointeaux-Chenes. The levee overtopped during the storm, requiring emergency crews to come in and shore up the area to prevent flooding. Dupre said the district would meet Wednesday to expedite that project and bring the levee to the full 12foot elevation as soon as possible. The district has requested money from the state to help pay for it, Dupre said. Lafourche Parish is also expecting the installation of the Grand Bayou Floodgate in about two years. The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Agency announced earlier this year that it would contribute $18.5 million toward the project. The floodgate will close the largest gap in the Morganza system and will protect parts of Terrebonne and north Lafourche. Curole said the district will soon advertise for bids to begin the project. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Julia Arenstam can be reached at 448-7636 or julia.arenstam @houmatoday.com.

tating illness or other unforeseen condition.” The staff member would serve only until the board gathers to appoint an interim superintendent. The policy also notes that if a superintendent can still perform his or her duties while on sick leave, the temporary replacement won’t apply. The board members discussed whether they should amend the language to include a time frame in which the members must convene, but it ultimately passed without amendment in a 14-1 vote. Board member Al Archer was the lone nay vote after he requested that the director of human resources be selected as the acting superintendent. Bernard noted that the policy was only for “short-term, emergency situations.” “It will enable us to get back together as a board to make a more long-term decision,” he said. Interim Superintendent Jarod Martin
noted, “This policy is just to put a provision in place so that there isn’t a gap.” Martin had just been named director of middle and secondary education before Voiron’s absence. He said there were a number of staff members across the district who could step into the role and just advised the board to ensure that there is a clear temporary replacement. “At some point, we have to determine a position because there can’t be any ambiguity as to who steps into that role,” he said. “It will serve the intent, which is to always have someone prepared to step into those duties.” The board also unanimously approved changing the district’s business manager post to allow applicants who aren’t CPAs as they search for a replacement for current business manager Don Gaudet. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Halle Parker can be reached at hparker@houmatoday.com or 857-2204.

Boudreaux From 1-A
“Improving drainage will always be a top priority for our area as well as a focus on bringing more jobs for our people,” she said. To that end, Boudreaux noted the importance of the next administration hiring a full time certified economic development professional to work in parish government to focus on the jobs issue full time. She also noted the importance of bringing back a sense of professionalism and respect to the Council and its meetings. “We need to conduct the people’s business with a certain degree of decorum and efficiency,” she said. Boudreaux’s parents are Daniel and Deanna Givens and she is a proud mom to four adult children, Teri Boudreaux Breaux, Ashley Boudreaux, Zachary Boudreaux and Jamie Boudreaux. She is also a grandmother to Danny, Selene and Jace Breaux. D’Lynn is a 1987 graduate of South Lafourche High School who married and raised all of her children on Bayou Lafourche. “Serving as the director of a local youth center has given me the opportunity to see what a great community we live in and how we help each other in times of need, from opening our doors to shrimpers and fishermen when a facility is needed for meetings to serving as a logistics hub for utility workers after a hurricane, to serving as a focal point in the community for local events and community activities. I would like to continue that passion for our community by serving as your representative on the Lafourche Parish Council. My door will always be open to you. Let’s get working to make this a better area for us to live, work and raise a family. Thank

Dept. of Child & Family Services (DCFS) cases, criminal law - adults and juveniles, business law litigation, starting and dissolving businesses, collections, bankruptcy law, property law, successions, wills and estate planning and landlord/tenant disputes and personal injury (plaintiff and defendant.) Essentially, I have handled just about every aspect of the law that comes before a District Court Judge in Lafourche. I also believe that displaying a calm and respectful temperament is another important consideration that voters will observe in me as their candidate for Judge. I believe the rights of all citizens are GUARANTEED under our Constitution and they should be recognized and respected by the legal process … that starts at the law enforcement level, works itself up through the process of the legal system up to the District Court. I will faithfully and without prejudice or predisposition uphold each citizen’s rights, especially their right to a speedy trial. I am predisposed, as a Conservative and lifelong Republican, to see the law as fixed by the great Law Giver in Heaven and then passed down in our own society by the Constitution and the many legislative bodies over the last 240 years that have sought to give clarity or purpose to our founding principles. I believe that it is a Judge’s responsibility to let the Legislature write the law. It is not the Judges job to make new law from the Bench. It is the Judge’s responsibility to interpret the intent of the lawmakers not to create intent. This philosophy is called Strict Constructionism of which I consider myself an adherent. When you take into consideration both my wide array of experience in the law and my conservative, strict constructionist philosophy I think you will understand the slogan of my campaign, The Right Experience, The Right Choice! I thank you for your consideration and I hope to see you as I walk the parish this summer to meet the voters.

regulations. I studied law in college. I know my way around legislation, and writing law is a councilman’s job. I covered the Parish Council for over 5 years for The Lafourche Gazette. I know parish government and don’t need on-the-job training. I can be an effective councilman from day one. I know the district, too. I’ve lived nearly all my life in back of the Butte, and I graduated from South Lafourche High School. I attended LSU for 3 years, but I earned a Bachelor of General Studies, history minor, from Nicholls. I only lacked one course to have a minor in government, too. I taught social studies for 6 years. I have the education, the experience, and the intellect you should require of your Parish Councilman, and I have something else … I believe you and the job come first. This isn’t about me … it’s about you. If you want good government, you have to hire the best person for the job. If you elect a lesser candidate, however, we will all suffer the consequences … again. Unable to do a conventional campaign, I’ll have to go unorthodox. Search my name on You Tube for my stump speeches and follow my campaign on Facebook. Finally, I’m not honte to be Cajun. I speak French and will do so at the slightest hint of an excuse. Si vous plais.

Chaos at Louisiana Walmart after 2 men argue, pull guns
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Two men arguing at a Walmart customer service counter pulled guns on each other, setting off a stampede of panicked customers, some of whom thought there had been a shooting. East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux says a preliminary investigation did not find any evidence of a shooting Tuesday at a Walmart store in Baton Rouge, though authorities are still investigating. The incident occurred three days after a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, leaving 22 people dead and dozens injured. Customers running out of the Louisiana store told deputies they had heard “popping” sounds which they thought were gunshots. Gautreaux says surveillance video showed two men pulling guns during an argument. One was detained. Police and deputies were looking for the other. ___

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Most powerful quotes of all time
I came across a series of quotations called, “28 Most Powerful Quotes Of All Time.” Read them slowly and use them for meditating. 1. “Love is a verb. Love, the feeling, is a fruit of love, the verb.” (Stephen Covey) 2. “In seeking happiness for others, you will find it in yourself.” (Unknown) 3. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” (Albert Einstein) 4. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” (Gandhi) 5. “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by morons.” (Sigmund Freud) 6. “A mind stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” (Oliver Wendell Holmes) 7. “When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” (Helen Keller) 8. “He who fears he will suffer already suffers because he fears.” (Michel De Montaigne) 9. “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” (Winston Churchill) 10. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” (Viktor Frankl) 11. “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” (Confucius) 12. “I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.” (Corazon Aquino) 13. “If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap. If you want happiness for a day – go fishing. If you want happiness for a year – inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a life time – help someone else.” (Chinese proverb) 14. “Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them are what makes life meaningful.” (Joshua J. Marine) 15. “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” (Viktor Frankl) 16. “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
(George Bernhard Shaw) 17. “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” (Stephen Covey) 18. “Many people are passionate, but because of their limiting beliefs about who they are and what they can do, they never take actions that could make their dream a reality.” (Anthony Robins) 19. “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” (Reinhold Niebuhr) 20. “True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.” (Paul Sweeney) 21. “The only way that we can live is if we
grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we are exposed is if we throw ourselves into the open.” (C. Joybell) 22. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” (Mary Engelbreit) 23. “Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.” (Henry van

compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” (Elisabeth Kübler-Ross) 28. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, that is why we call it the present.” (Bill Keane)
