Retiree checks to rise modestly amid push to expand benefits

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of retirees will get a modest 1.6% costof-living increase from Social Security in 2020, an uptick with potential political consequences in an election year when Democrats are pushing more generous inflation protection.

The increase amounts to $24 a month for the average retired worker, according to estimates released recently by the Social Security Administration. Following a significant boost this year, the cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for 2020 reverts to its pattern of moderate gains.

But seniors and advocates complain that the inflation yardstick used to determine the annual adjustment doesn’t adequately re-

Lafourche unites against domestic abuse

Aggie Thibodaux selects a stone during last Thursday’s domestic violence vigil in Raceland. The stones symbolize a stone that’s tossed into a bayou that creates a ripple effect for change. Dan Copp

By Dan Copp, Daily Comet Staff Writer

Pam Guedry-Lee compared domestic abuse to a stone tossed into a bayou. Like the rock, domestic violence creates a ripple effect, she said.

“Domestic violence impacts our children, friends, family and co-workers,” Guedry-Lee said to attendees who gathered in Raceland last Thursday night in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, The Haven, the Lafourche District Attorney’s Office and PACT Place Supervised Visitation and Monitored Exchange Center hosted the event.

The annual vigil honors those who have experienced domestic violence and seeks to provide hope to those who are still suffering from it.

Guedry-Lee, the PACT Place coordinator, said a child growing up in a home

with an abusive father is statistically more likely to become an abuser as well.

“That is the ripple effect of domestic violence,” she said.

Just in 2018 alone, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office answered 1,555 domestic violence-related calls, officials said. There were also 364 protective orders issued for victims last year in the parish.

However, hope is far from lost, Sheriff Craig Webre said.

The sheriff told attendees that his office is combating domestic abuse by providing resources for victims and holding perpetrators accountable.

“I stand before you tonight confident, hopeful and committed,” Webre said. “I’m confident that we as a criminal justice system have made great strides in preventing domestic violence and holding offenders accountable and See Abuse Page 9-A

A Golden Meadow couple has been arrested for cruelty to a juvenile as the victim remains in critical condition.

Dustin Naquin, 29, and Jasmine Bouvier, 24, have been charged with Second Degree Cruelty to a Juvenile.

On Tuesday, October 22, detectives began investigating the couple after they brought a preschool-aged child to the hospital with injuries consistent with recurring child abuse. The most significant of those injuries was a broken arm and bleeding on the brain in two places. The child also had multiple bruises and other injuries across his entire body.

The child remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

What a Life!

By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd

US politicians have failed to act on pro-life gun law to protect the innocent

Every time a mass shooting takes place, we hear politicians say they are going to address the problem, but nothing happens. A poll conducted after the massacre at a Florida high school shows that most Americans think Congress and President Trump are not doing enough to stop these shootings. Seventy-five

percent of those surveyed faulted Congress for its inaction, while 62 percent blamed Trump, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Why are they afraid to do what most Americans want them to do?

Because we no longer have spiritual, pro-life leaders, who value people over guns. It is more important to listen to the voices and money of the NRA than to respect the will of the people. So we will continue to have the highest mass shooting rate of any civilized country in the world.

Most of us grew up in a culture that glorifies guns. I used to watch westerns on television like “Gunsmoke,” “Have gun will Travel,” and movies with John Wayne, Steve McQueen settling scores with a gunfight. Many Americans sense their iden-

press deadly rage.

Some government leaders try to mislead citizens to believe that the Second Amendment (the right to own guns) is an absolute right for gun owners in America.

This claim among gunrights advocates implies that the Second Amendment establishes not just a right to own guns, but a right that the government cannot legally limit. This is not true for gun-rights or any other right.

The Supreme Court has said repeatedly that no right under the Constitution is absolute.

Whenever the government has very strong reasons to restrict a right, it can do so.

Take the First Amendment right to free speech, “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech.”. Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes noted that the First Amendment does not protect your right to shout “fire!” in a crowded theater that is not on fire.

Also, we cannot libel others, or incite murder, or leak government

tity, character, capabilities and strengths from being exposed to this type of violence.

Some Americans believe the myth that we are a collection of rugged pioneering individuals, forever exploring new frontiers and the dangers and challenges they present.

Guns, in this context, are an extension of that myth. Yet, this is not who we are. We are a community of diverse individuals who are interdependent on each other for our very survival.

The USA is about 4.4 percent of the world population, yet our homes contain more than half of the privately held weapons in the world. A Gallop Poll survey showed that only 30 percent of Americans own guns.

Yet, there are more privately held weapons in America than people.

Some leaders try to blame the mass gun shooting on things like video games. Yet, when we compare ourselves with Japanese and South Korean young people who love video games as much as America’s youth, we see that these kinds of attacks rarely happen in those countries.

Other leaders blame secularism. Northern Europe is perhaps the most secular region on Earth, yet they rarely suffer such horrors.

What about mental health? Are Americans really more prone to serious mental disorders than other people? No, but one big difference exists. Young Americans, usually white males, have the firepower available to ex-

flect their costs, mainly for health care.

The COLA affects household budgets for about 1 in 5 Americans, nearly 70 million people, and that includes Social Security recipients, disabled veterans and federal retirees.

Criticism of the COLA formula has been amplified by Democratic presidential candidates and congressional Democrats. That’s helped to shift the Social Security debate from a nearexclusive concern with the program’s solvency to a focus on expanding benefits, including but not limited to the costof-living adjustment.

“Most of the discussion about Social Security is about how can we promise more rather than how can we keep the promises we’re al-

ready making,” said conservative retirement policy expert Charles Blahous, who as a former public trustee of Social Security once helped oversee its finances.

With the COLA, the estimated average monthly Social Security payment for a retired worker will be $1,503 a month starting in January.

Joe Schiavone, who retired from flooring sales and lives on Florida’s Space Coast, says it feels like he’s not keeping up.

“My biggest concern is that your money is buying less and less,” said Schiavone, who’s in his early 80s. “The figure that they use for the rise in the cost of living to me is very erroneous.”

Schiavone points to increased health care premiums and co-pays,

benefits provide at least half the total income.

“None of the jobs I worked on in my life had any sort of pension or 401(k) plans,” said Schiavone.

He’s wary of politicians’ promises about Social Security. “I very rarely believe what anybody says in a campaign,” said Schiavone.

“I really don’t know what to believe.”

Polling shows Americans have doubts about the future of Social Security. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey from February found that 39% of Americans had little or no confidence the program will offer the cur-

Tarpons roll in Homecoming win Gazette Sports Report

After a season’s worth of offensive struggles, South Lafourche clicked on Thursday night against Morgan City. And the hapless Tigers had no answer for the powerful fish throughout the Homecoming Game.

The Tarpons crushed Morgan City 57-12, moving down the field at ease for all four quarters in their triple option offense.

South Lafourche had several players score in the game and coach Blake Forsythe said it was a great confidence-building win, a second-straight victory for a team that’s now 26 on the season.

“It was great for the kids. I’m so proud of our guys for sticking with it, working hard and continuing to get better,” Forsythe said. “You know, this is a tight-knit bunch, and we’ve had our share of setbacks in the beginning of the season. But we’ve continued to fight and we’re in a situation where there’s two games to go and we still can be the playoff team we set out to be in the offseason.”

The Tarpons wasted no time putting points on the board. They got the ball first and waltzed straight down the field on a touchdown drive to go up 7-0 early in the game. A short run from quarterback Patrick Gisclair capped the drive and put the team into the end zone.

But the Tigers had

Saints (Bye Week)

life early. They took the next kickoff to the house for a score and also got a long touchdown run to score their only 12 points of the game in the first quarter.

The problem?

The Tarpons matched them blow-forblow.

South Lafourche scored three times in the first quarter to lead 22-12 after a quarter.

The Tarpons’ offensive line dominated the game Thursday, pushing back Morgan City, allowing ball carriers to stay ahead of the chains to keep the Tarpons’ moving.

Sometimes it was Gisclair. Other times it was wingbacks Francois Terrebonne and Braxton Pitre. Fullback Derin Doucet was also a mule on inside runs, pushing forward for more than 100 yards in the game.

“We controlled the game up front and that was the difference,” Forsythe said. “Those guys have gotten so much better. They’ve made great strides for our team.”

In the second quarter, the Tarpons’ defense took over the game, stopping Morgan City’s offense and handing the ball back to the Tarpons’ offense.

The result was more points and a 37-12 halftime lead.

In the second half, South Lafourche spread the ball around to all of its playmakers.

Reece Toups scored a touchdown, and Pitre, Wes Allemand and Austin Danos all got into the end zone to help the Tarpons go up 5112 at the end of the third quarter before adding their final score in the fourth.

With the win, the Tarpons stayed on schedule in their quest to try and make the playoffs.

The Tarpons sit just outside of the Top 32 going into Week 9, but know that wins in the final two weeks could get them in. A win in one of the two games makes it very close … too close for comfort.

James Lerille and Makayla Bynum were named as the South Lafourche High School Homecoming King and Queen.

SLHS

“For us, the playoffs are right now,” Forsythe said. “We know we control our destiny. We just have to take care of business on the field.” ___ Trojans fall against East St. John It took two months, but an opponent finally figured out a way to slow Central Lafourche senior halfback Deon Jenkins.

And the Trojans struggled mightily in all phases to make up for the lost momentum without their prized halfback running free all over the field.

East St. John beat Central Lafourche 5319 on Saturday afternoon, a game that was moved back because of Tropical Storm Olga.

The Wildcats led 33-0 at halftime and never looked back.

Jenkins had just 25 yards in the game.

Trojans coach Keith Menard said before the game on Saturday morning that he knew the team would have to make plays in the passing game to win. Those plays were few and far between thanks to the Wildcats’ dominant defense.

“They’re excellent up front,” Menard said.

“They work hard and make things difficult for you. That’s the strength of their team.”

The Trojans was slow out of the gates and East St. John was not.

The Wildcats roared, dominating all three phases of the game to score five, firsthalf touchdowns to generate the 33-0 halftime lead.

The Wildcats’ defense stymied the Trojans’ offense and East St. John’s special teams blocked a punt and thwarted a fake punt.

Offensively, the Wildcats were dynamic, making plays both with the run and the pass.

In the second half, the Trojans got going a little, scoring multiple times. But it was never enough to threaten victory, because the Wildcats, too, scored three times in the half to keep a sizable margin of victory.

With the loss, Central Lafourche is now 53 on the season.

The Trojans are still very much in playoff contention, but likely have to win out to host a first-round game.

AP Top 25: LSU No. 1 ahead of ‘Bama, Ohio St in close vote

Wednesday, October 30, 2019 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

The No. 1 vs. No. 2 game between LSU and Alabama in two weeks looks set, though the order of the Crimson Tide and Tigers changed in the AP Top 25 in one of the closet votes ever.

Heading into an off date for both teams, LSU flip-flopped with Alabama on Sunday to become the new No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll presented by Regions Bank. The Tigers received 1,476 points, two more than Alabama, for the closest margin between 1 and 2 since No. 1 Florida State was two points ahead of Auburn on Oct. 5, 2014.

No. 3 Ohio State was not far behind with 1,468 points. Eight points separating first from third is the fewest during a regular-season poll since the current point system went into place in 1978. The previous low was Dec. 3, 1979, when No. 1 Ohio State was 10 points ahead of No. 3 Southern California, with Oklahoma in between, two back of the Buckeyes.

Alabama received the most first-place votes this week with 21.

LSU and Ohio State both got 17 first-place votes. No. 4 Clemson received seven first-place votes. There have now been three No. 1 teams this season and none of them have lost.

The LSU-Alabama game is scheduled for Nov. 9 in Tuscaloosa, but the top of the rankings should be locked until then. LSU, Alabama, Ohio State and No. 5 Penn State are all off next week, and No. 4 Clemson is tuning up against Wofford.

Oklahoma became the third top-six team in the last three weeks to lose to an unranked team, falling at Kansas State and dropping five spots to No. 10.

There was a lot going on at the top of the ranking this week.

This is the second time this season the No. 1 team won and dropped out of the top spot. Preseason No. 1 Clemson was the first, back in late September.

The last time it happened twice in a season with different teams was 2009, when Florida and

Alabama dropped out in consecutive weeks.

Brooks Kubena, who covers LSU for The Advocate, made the switch to LSU at No. 1 from Ohio State this week. He said the Tigers’ victories against No. 6 Florida and No. 11 Auburn, plus a road victory at Texas, which was No. 9 at the time, swayed him.

“Wins matter and who you beat matters, and LSU’s three victories over top-10 opponents is the most impressive resume of all undefeated teams,” said Kubena, who had Clemson at No. 1 to start the season.

The last time the No. 1 team did not receive the most first-place votes was Nov. 30, 2014, when No. 2 Florida State had 29 and No. 1 Alabama had 25.

The smallest previous margin in the top three in the current weighting format was nine points in the 1994 preseason poll — No. 1 Florida, 1,416; No. 2 Notre Dame, 1,414 and No. 3 Florida State, 1,407.

Barring some weirdness with the voters next week, LSU-Alabama will be the 26th 1 vs. 2 regular-season game, including conference championship games.

The No. 1 team is 15-8-2, including LSU’s 9-6 victory at Alabama in 2011, the last time 1 and 2 met in the regular season.

The advent of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998, and then later the College Football Playoff, have created frequent 1-2 matchups during bowl season.

Overall, No. 1 is 2821-2. After LSU and Alabama played as 1 and 2 in the regular season, they had a rematch in the BCS championship game in January 2012 won by the Crimson Tide.

Heading into that BCS championship was the last time LSU was No. 1. ___ Follow Ralph D.

“The construction of the new Cancer Institute marks another milestone in the history of Thibodaux Regional and our cancer program,� said Greg Stock, Thibodaux Regional Health System CEO. “We are excited to build a premier facility that will continue to provide

patients with high quality cancer care close to home.�

The new state-ofthe-art Cancer Institute will accommodate the growth that Thibodaux Regional is experiencing as well as position the health system for the future of cancer care.

Designed with the patient in mind, the Institute will feature an open design with lots of natural light and soothing decor that creates a warm and caring healing environment. The innovative and technologically advanced facility will include radiation therapy and chemotherapy infusion, medical and radiation oncology clinics, clinic space for visiting oncology specialists, an education center, an activity center, a library, a diagnostics center, a laboratory, an onsite pharmacy, a conference center and a chapel.

The Cancer Institute will also further integrate wellness services with the latest treatments, and is an important element in achieving Thibodaux Regional’s ongoing vision to improve the health and wellness of the region.

Construction of the new Cancer Institute will begin soon, and will take approximately 24 months to complete.

NSU loses in double OT, 37-31

THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — Tracy James crashed in for the winning score as Abilene Christian won its second overtime game this season, slipping past Nicholls 37-31 on Saturday.

Nicholls had possession first in the extra period but Jairan Parker stripped Kendall Bussey of the ball and Brandon Richmond pounced on it on the second play of OT. Abilene Christian (5-4, 43 Southland Conference) moved to the 5 in four plays and James took it in for the win.

The Wildcats got past Stephen F. Austin 31-24 in double overtime last week.

ACU, which recorded its first road win of the season, took the lead 1714 when James bulled in from the 1 as time expired in the first half.

The Wildcats were ahead 31-21 going into the final quarter. Chase Fourcade scored from the 1 and Gunnar Jones booted a 19-yard field goal with 1:53 remaining to tie the score and send it to overtime.

Nicholls (4-4, 3-2) lost three fumbles and Fourcade was intercepted once. ACU’s Luke Anthony was picked off twice.

James finished with 75 yards and two scores for the Wildcats. Anthony threw for 181 yards and one TD. Fourcade threw for 216 yards and a score and rushed for 64 yards and another score.

Chaisson wins this week’s Football Contest

The winner of week seven of the Lafourche Gazette Football Contest is Shannon Chaisson of Raceland.

Shannon tied with 5 others, but was the only entrant closest to the tie breaker.

Winners can pick up their prize at the Lafourche Gazette office Monday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday through Fridays until 12-noon.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week may start off somewhat unbalanced. Work may be demanding more of you, and you’re finding it tough to even out the field.

By midweek you’ll regain control.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Make the necessary changes in your life to get back on target, Taurus. These goals may run the gamut from fitness to career. Put the future in focus.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You may be inspired to do something creative but don’t know where to focus your attention just yet, Gemini. Look to Sagittarius as a good source of inspiration.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week you may be unable to keep everything as organized as you would like. Take a cue from someone you know is always organized.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Take control of a situation that comes to light this week, Leo. No one seems willing or able to grab the reins, but you can be an excellent leader in this situation.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Expand your social circles and you may meet some influential people, Virgo. This can help spread the word about your stellar reputation and open doors to opportunities.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, after you get through an exciting event, life may slow down for a little while. But you can find plenty of ways to infuse some excitement into your days.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You cannot seem to focus your attention on one thing for more than a few minutes, Scorpio.

Random thoughts, however distracting, can inspire new ideas.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may like to tackle projects all by yourself, but sometimes letting someone else get the job done frees up opportunities to recharge your batteries.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 It may finally be time to get serious about getting out in the job market once more. Whether you’re looking for a new job or returning after a hiatus, retool your résumé.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 While success brings you many things, it can feel lonely at the top, Aquarius. Surround yourself with associates who can be a sounding board and offer assistance.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Take time to listen more and speak less, Pisces. Doing so allows you to make a better assessment of what those around you need and want.
