Saying goodbye to Sundays Gazette Staff Reports

After we print and distribute our Sunday, October 13 edition of the Lafourche Gazette, we will be saying goodbye to Sundays.

After much thought and careful consideration, the Lafourche Gazette has decided to discontinue with the Sunday edition.

Started in October of 1990, the Sunday publication was a welcomed and complimentary addition to our Wednesday paper.

But for the last few years it hasn’t been feasible to continue to publish on Sundays.

However, we will continue with our traditional mid-week publication, something we’ve been doing now for 54 years and hope to continue for many more.

Coast destroying nutria target of dog treat business

By VICTORIA DODGE Lafayette Daily Advertiser

PECAN ISLAND, La. (AP) — Drive until you see the Gulf of Mexico, and before you hit the water take the last left on a dirt road. That’s where Justin Choate lives.

Choate, 43, has been around Louisiana’s waters all his life. He started working those marshes, streams and bayous with his father at the age of 9.

When he’s not serving as an alligator guide, he’s out hunting nutria, the invasive, orange-toothed swamp rodent that’s devouring Louisiana’s coast.

The state’s marshes are so overrun with nutria that it doesn’t take much for Choate to bag enough to call it a day. A couple of times a week during hunting

season, from November to March, he’s out from daylight to 10 a.m. and then 3 p.m. to dark. It’s easier working the swamps during the coolest hours.

Choate kills at least 120 nutria a week, as many as 6,000 a season — his best day: 238 nutria in less than 11 hours.

If he doesn’t kill them with his rifle, one of his three chocolate labs — Jake, Buck or Duke — will spot one, kill it and bring it back to the boat. Some days, the hunting dogs are quicker than Choate.

For the longest time, he and other hunters had only a few uses for the dead nutria — skin them for the fur, turn their tail in for $6 each from the state and use the rest as alligator bait.

But now there’s another reason to make nutria a target. The destructive mammal now can serve as the main ingredient in dog treats.

The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, known as PAR, has an online guide to these constitutional amendments.

The organization warns that this year’s amendment lineup will be “especially challenging” for voters because they are “among the most arcane proposals citizens have faced” on their ballots.

The PAR guide doesn’t offer recommendations about how to vote, but provides the arguments of supporters and opponents of each pro-

posal and can be found on their website at parlouisiana.org.

The polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

In races with three or more candidates, one will have to receive more than half the votes cast to win.

Otherwise, the top two finishers will compete in a Nov. 16 runoff.

Nutria From 1-A

Hansel Harlan wants to convert Louisiana’s nutria problem into a nationally distributed dog biscuit.

Marsh Dog, the Baton Rouge pet food company he cofounded, uses wild nutria as the main ingredient in its new generation of dog treats.

In 2012, the company received a grant from the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program to begin production of the dog treats, which mostly have been sold in Louisiana stores. But now Marsh Dog has partnered with a larger manufacturer, tweaked its production process and set its sights on building the brand.

The goal is to help to eliminate as many nutria as possible to reduce the destruction of Louisiana wetlands.

There are no other commercially produced dog treats that use protein from non-domesticated mammals like nutria taken from the wild, Harlan said.

The company gets its nutria from the 4.1 million-acre estuary, located between the Mis-

sissippi and Atchafalaya rivers in south Louisiana.

Marsh Dog gets the majority of its nutria meat from the 400 licensed trappers in the state, most of whom participate in the nutria control program with Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Although the number of nutria killed by trappers each year has decreased, Harlan and his business partners hope to help increase that number.

3-A

After the state control program began, 2010’s hunting season ended with a record 445,936 nutria killed.

That number dropped to a low of just over 170,000 killed in the 2018 season and about 223,000 killed when the last season ended in March.

With nutria averaging about six to 10 pounds each and each providing nearly half that in usable meat, Marsh Dog uses hunSee Nutria Page 7-A

Louisiana factory suddenly lays off 376 employees

LAPLACE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana steel mill unexpectedly laid off 376 employees and says the factory will shut down in November.

News outlets report workers at Bayou Steel Group were shocked on Monday when the factory announced the layoffs and shutdown. The factory is St. John the Baptist Parish’s largest employer.

A company letter to parish officials says unforeseen circumstances and lack of financing forced the layoffs and closure. But Gov. John Bel Edwards says the

Judge: Mom was the ‘monster’ in dead toddler’s life ___

GRETNA, La. (AP) — A judge told a Louisiana woman she was the “monster” in her toddler son’s life, and sentenced her to life in prison for killing the 2year-old, 15-pound boy.

The Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office says in a news release that Judge Danyelle Taylor sentenced 29-year-old Twyena Thomas on Monday, the two-year anniversary of Chase

Thomas’ death.

A jury convicted Thomas in August of second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence.

The judge said she wished she could do more than sentence Thomas to life in prison.

She also said the child’s weight, broken skull, scars and bruises showed that he died scared of a “monster” — his mother.

She read the statement to Thomas and gave her notes to district attorney’s spokesman Paul Purpura, who emailed them to reporters.

Endymion announces entertainment lineup for 2020 gala ___

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — One of New Orleans’ major Mardi Gras krewes has announced the entertainment lineup for its 2020 extravaganza.

The Krewe of Endymion says the event will be headlined by country superstar Tim McGraw.

Also scheduled to perform are Styx, Train and area favorites Groovy 7 and The Wise Guys.

Endymion’s theme this year is “Endymion’s Historic Dynasties.” The parade rolls on the streets of New Orleans on Saturday, Feb. 22 — the weekend before Fat Tuesday.

The krewe annually throws a big party after

the parade, usually in the Superdome. But the 2020 event will be held in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center because of construction at the Superdome.

Lutcher man dies in crash Sunday morning in Larose ___

LAROSE, La. – Shortly before 6:30 Sunday morning, Troopers with Troop C began investigating a fatality crash involving a motorcycle on LA 308 near the TBois Bridge that took the life of 31-year-old Brennan Louque.

The preliminary investigation revealed Louque was traveling south on LA 308 on a 2014 Suzuki motorcycle at a high rate of speed.

He approached the intersection at the T-Bois Bridge where traffic was stopped for a red light.

For unknown reasons, Louque failed to stop and struck a boat and trailer that was being towed by a 2010 Ford F250. It was being driven by 63-year-old Randy Dominique of Gheens.

Louque was transported to Lady of the Sea Hospital by ambulance where he was pronounced deceased. He was wearing a DOT approved helmet during the crash. Impairment is unknown at this time and a standard toxicology report is pending.

Dominique was not injured and was restrained during the

Nutria

to Louisiana in the 1930s for fur farming and somehow escaped to the coastal wetlands of south Louisiana, where they rapidly grew in population. How they escaped is unclear, explanations steeped in folklore — perhaps Edward Avery McIlhenny, son of Tabasco mogul Edmund McIlhenny, released all of his nutria into the marshes in 1945, or maybe a hurricane destroyed most nutria enclosures in the 1940s.

By 1960, state wildlife officials estimated there were 20 million nutria roaming the Louisiana wetlands.

Despite a slowed rate of coastal wetland loss in Louisiana since 2010, the U.S. has still lost about half of its wetlands over the past 200 years. Since the 1930s, one-quarter of Louisiana’s coast has disappeared.

dreds of thousands of pounds each year for their biscuits. The company could get rid of more than 55,000 nutria each year.

The company “found a sustainable solution for the planet,� said Dr. Marvin Moncada, research and development food scientist at Louisiana State University’s AgCenter Food Incubator. He worked with Marsh Dog to reformulate their products and extend shelf life. “Why kill it if you won’t use it?�

Harlan came across the unconventional meat thanks to his dog, Chien du Marais, French for Marsh Dog, who has chronic allergies. He developed the recipe so it wouldn’t trigger an allergic reaction.

Nutria were brought

age plants’ root systems, making the revegetative process slow.

The damaged plants are soon no longer able to protect the wetlands, making it vulnerable to tides that can erode what little remains.

After three years of low nutria catches, LDWF increased the nutria bounty from $5 to $6 for every tail in 2019. In order to reduce the nutria population, the agency sets a yearly goal of 400,000 trapped nutria. Since the program started in 2002, this goal has only been achieved in 2010’s record season.

Choate has been trying to put a dent in the nutria population for decades. Living on the gulf keeps him aware of the effects nutria has on erosion. He also knows the chances of a shortage are slim due to breeding habits.

They re-populate rapidly with a litter every eight weeks and females being able to have babies at just 12 weeks old.

Seeing full nutria traps and getting paid for the pelts used to be Choate’s favorite part of hunting, until the fur

#112 Vote WILL LASSEIGNE

To the residents of the 9th district, My name is Will Lasseigne and I am asking for your vote for councilman of District 9.

Our district is rapidly declining as is our population. Our bridges are rusting and crumbling and in constant need of repairs, blighted houses, continuing drainage problems, drug problem is growing resulting in more crime than ever before and jobs are hard to come by.

Golden Meadow was granted money to repair their sea wall 5 years ago and still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen a dime due to inability of our current councilman to get the votes to release funds. I will get the $100,000 to Golden Meadow in very short order. We also have $100,000 locked in the recreation fund and I will access it. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get the grass cut for the safety of our community. It only takes one call. The 4 million in paved roads our current councilman is currently boasting about, the majority of it went to Districts 7 & 8 and it came from the .5% road sales tax that we pay.

Your current councilman of District 9 directly directed drainage District 1 and spent your tax dollars to fund a drainage project on private property outside of District 9. Your current councilman was a proponent of the solid waste tax and voted to increase taxes above and beyond the legal threshold pushing potential taxes over the 10% for Lafourche parish. As Our 10th ward generates 2/3 of the taxes for Lafourche Parish yet our district continues to decline.

We have been blessed with some of the best schools, educators, medical professionals and a sense of community unlike any where else. Unfortunately, our kids and grandkids get educated in our great schools and leave for better opportunity.

I vow to change this. I will build a coalition and put an end to complacency, arrogance and political grandstanding. I will work with the parish president to bring back sustainable funding to this district to assure our district as we have seen very little funding other than general maintenance in the last 4 years. Even the $90,000 over the budget skate park was funded during the Randolph administration. I will get Golden Meadow itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $100,000 owed money. I will get the long needed airport corridor and new Galliano bridge funded and built.

I will change the direction we are heading in. We will not be on the wrong end of the 1-8 or 2-7 vote anymore if I am elected.

Trojans roll past Ellender, Tarps drop another one Gazette Sports Report

After four-straight home games to start the 2019 season, Central Lafourche hopped on the yellow bus and hit the road on Friday against Ellender.

The change of routine showed early. But

eventually, the Trojans settled in and got rolling, easily pushing past their overmatched foe.

Central Lafourche beat Ellender 55-27 on Friday, using balanced offense, both run and pass, to secure the win.

Coach Keith

Menard said he wasn’t pleased with how his team started the game, falling behind early. But he was pleased with their finish and the win.

“I thought there was a hangover there,” Menard said, referencing last week’s hardfought loss against Thibodaux, which wasn’t decided until the last seconds. “I thought the kids had a hard time getting up emotionally and the change of routine and all of those things were factors. I didn’t like that.

But I thought we did what we needed to do, and I was pleased with the outcome.”

Central Lafourche didn’t look like a state power early. Ellender scored first on a touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Perna to receiver O’Ryan James to go up 7-0.

Callais takes fourth week’s Football Contest

The winner of week four of the Lafourche Gazette Football Contest is Donald Callais of Galliano.

Donald was the only entrant with only 2 wrong.

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

The Patriots also led 14-12 in the second quarter when Tyshaun Hester took a kickoff to the house.

“We have to get our kickoff coverage team fixed,” Menard said.

“We’ve had issues now for two weeks. That’s on us. We’ve got to get that fixed.”

But the Trojans settled down after the return and dominated the rest of the game, scoring 29-straight points in the second quarter before halftime to storm out to a 41-14 lead.

The offense was more balanced on Friday than it’s been in the past few weeks with the Trojans hitting several long passes down the field in addition to the running game.

Quarterback Ashtrein Duncan hit Jansen Folse for several scores in the onslaught, tossing for well more

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

than 200 yards in the win.

Jenkins also got into the act, rushing for more than 100 yards and also taking a long screen pass to the house.

“They put everyone in the box. They wanted to take Deon away,” Menard said. “So we had to open some things up. We had to take some shots down the field and make plays and we did. We can do that. It all depends on what the defense gives us.”

In the second half, the Trojans played a lot of reserves and stayed in complete control.

Aaron Delaune scored on a touchdown to put the Trojans up 48-14 in the third quarter.

After Hester scored again to make it 48-21, Folse stopped the Trojans’ scoring by taking a

1-B

kickoff back for a score to make it 55-21.

The Patriots scored late to send the game to its final margin.

With the win, Central Lafourche is now 41 on the season and will host H.L. Bourgeois Friday night.

Tarpons lose steam at Belle Chasse

South Lafourche was in good position on Friday night. The Tarpons went to halftime tied at 6 and were getting the ball to start the second half. But that first possession turned into a turnover, which turned into the spark Belle Chasse needed to win the second half and keep the Tarpons winless on the season.

Belle Chasse beat South Lafourche 21-6 on Friday, using the wizardry of quarterback Jordan Mariana, who

made plays with both his arm and legs through the game.

South Lafourche coach Blake Forsythe said the Tarpons just ran out of steam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wore down a little bit, I thought,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were using a lot of guys both ways and I think it caught up to us a little bit there.

The kids fought and competed but we just made too many little mistakes and they all added up at the end of the game and worked against us.â&#x20AC;?

Early, the Tarpons looked strong, stuffing Belle Chasseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive attack.

South Lafourche

scored first on a touchdown run from Hunter Condley to go up 6-0.

Belle Chasse answered that score before half to tie the game at 6.

Both teams missed extra points.

The second half was all Cardinals. The Tarpons couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move the ball at all and Belle Chasse possessed the ball almost the entire 24 minutes of the half, punching in two scores to send the game to its final margin.

South Lafourche is now 0-5 on the season, but begins district play on Friday night against Vandebilt.

Forsythe said the kids are focused and ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 0-0 again,â&#x20AC;?

Forsythe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager to just keep on working.â&#x20AC;?

AP Top 12: Super 6 has rankings on lockdown

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU and Oklahoma.

Call them the Super Six. After six regularseason Associated Press college football polls the top six teams are the same teams that were ranked in the top six in the preseason. The order has changed, but at no point have the teams. Since the preseason poll started in 1950, the top six spots have never gone this long being held by the same group of teams.

The season starts earlier now than it did decades ago. In the 1980s, the sixth regular-season poll would typically come out around mid-October.

Go back to the 1960s or farther and the sixth poll of the season would come out in late October or early November.

But typically, throughout the years, six polls meant most teams had played from four to six games.

This season started with Clemson at No. 1, followed by Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State and LSU. Now Alabama is No. 1 and Clemson is No. 2.

When the sixth regular-season AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank came out Sunday the big change was

Ohio State moving into a tie with Georgia for No. 3. LSU is No. 5 and Oklahoma is sixth.

The lack of movement is at least in part due to chance and scheduling. Most of the toughest opponents for all of those teams are still ahead. Oklahoma gets No. 11 Texas this week, and LSU hosts No. 7 Florida.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate just how dominant the Super Six have been. Their average margin of victory is 32

points per game, led by Ohio State at 40.5. Only one of the Buckeyes opponents is ranked this week (No. 25 Cincinnati), but they have combined for a 20-12 record. They have made some pretty good teams look helpless.

So if you have been thinking: Boy, it seems like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the same teams every week this college football season; your perception is reality.

Reality check: After catching a scare from North Carolina, the Tigers got a week off to get ready for the Seminoles, which is likely bad news for the Seminoles.

Ranked: Too high.

No. 3 Georgia (5-0) Next: vs. South Carolina.

Reality check: One area the Bulldogs would probably like to get cranked up: Georgia ranks 78th in the country in pass plays of 20 yards or more with 16.

Ranked: Too high.

No. 3 (tie) Ohio State (6-0) - Next: at Northwestern, Friday, Oct. 18.

Reality check: The Buckeyes might have the best defense in the

#95

country, which makes them far less susceptible to the type of unexpected loss to an unranked team that kept them out of the playoff the last two seasons.

Ranked: Ten AP voters have the Buckeyes No. 1 this week. Too low.

No. 5 LSU (5-0) Next: vs. No. 7 Florida.

Reality check: The best cornerback in the country just might be LSU freshman Derek Stingley.

Ranked: Too low.

No. 6 Oklahoma (50) - Next: vs. No. 11 Texas at Dallas.

Reality check: The Sooners top two receivers, CeeDee Lamb and Charleston Rambo, are averaging 25.7 yards on their combined 32 catches. That’s a lot.

Ranked: Just right.

No. 7 Florida (6-0) Next: at No. 5 LSU. Reality check: Can a team with an elite defense, but just a pretty good offense crack the Super Six? The Gators hope so.

Ranked: Just right.

No. 8 Wisconsin (50) - Next: vs. Michigan State.

Reality check: The Badgers profile is similar to the Super Six — average margin of vic-

tory, 37.6 — but so much of the damage has come against three very bad teams.

Ranked: Just right.

No. 9 Notre Dame (4-1) - Next: vs. Southern California.

Reality check: RB Tony Jones has done a nice job as the lead back for the Irish with 381 yards rushing and four touchdowns, but the return of Jafar Armstrong from injury is huge with the schedule about to get more challenging.

Ranked: Little too high.

No. 10 Penn State (5-0) - Next: at No. 17 Iowa.

Reality check: Time to find out what the Nittany Lions are really about. The next three weeks: at Iowa, Michigan and at Michigan State.

Ranked: Little too high.

No. 11 Texas (4-1) Next: vs. No. 6 Oklahoma at Dallas.

Reality check: Devin Duvernay is ultimate go-to receiver. He has a team-high 45 catches.

The next best four players on the team have a total of 49.

Ranked: Just right No. 12 Auburn (5-1) - Next: at Arkansas, Saturday, Oct. 19.

Reality check: The Tigers play three members of the Super Six. They’re probably not good enough to beat all of them, but here’s betting they get at least one.

Ranked: Too low. ___

In a recent campaign questionaire held by The Daily Comet regarding the House of Representative, District 54 seat, of the three candidates running for the seat, Reggie Bagala was the only one who responded. Here are his answers: Q&A: Open state House seat in Lafourche draws three candidates

By Julia Arenstam / Daily Comet Staff Writer

The candidate field for south Lafourche’s state representative seat will be open in October for the first time in over 10 years.

The seat is represented by Truck Gisclair, who has served the maximum three consecutive four-year terms allowed by state law. Gisclair is hoping to continue his public service and is one of five candidates running for the state Senate District 20 seat.

One of the candidates looking to fill his seat is Gisclair’s son-in-law, Donny Lerille. Lafourche Parish official Reggie Bagala and former Lockport Police chief Ernest Boudreaux are also running for the office.

I, Thomas Rodrigue, a lifelong resident of South Lafourche am asking for your vote on October 12, 2019. It is my intent to bring back safety and order to what we call home. Please allow me to show you that I am what Lafourche needs. If elected, I would treat all citizens of Lafourche Parish fair and just. I will protect the people and their property. I will work in the field with deputies patrolling on a weekly basis reminding the public that they are not forgotten. I will work within the department for positive community interaction. I will work with homeland security to remove illegal immigrants. I will uphold drug laws, and also work with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, (DEA) Drug Enforcement Administration, and (FBI) Federal Bureau of Investigation on addressing the drug epidemic in Lafourche Parish.

I have 14 years law enforcement. I earned a Bachelors’ degree in Criminal Justice. I am a current member of the U.S. Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, the U.S. Border Patrol Officers Association, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Association. I have worked with the U.S. Dept. of Interior with Fish and Wildlife Services and U.S. Dept. of Commerce National Marine and Fisheries. I worked for the U.S. Dept of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Services as a special agent.

My experience throughout my law enforcement career includes, but not limited to, investigations pertaining to national security, smuggling violations, including exporting illegal arms, human trafficking, narcotics smuggling, child pornography, immigration fraud, and cyber crimes.

I am not a politician. I come before you qualified to tackle the problems plaguing our communities. It is with great humility that I ask that you put your trust in me as your next sheriff.

Remember to vote #95 Rodrigue for Lafourche Parish Sheriff on October 12, 2019

District 54 covers most of south and central Lafourche, along with Grand Isle in Jefferson Parish.

The election will be held Oct. 12, with early voting from Sept. 28 to Oct. 5.

Here are Bagala’s answers to The Courier and Daily Comet’s campaign questionnaire. Responses have been edited for clarity and brevity. Boudreaux and Lerille did not submit responses.

What would be your top three legislative priorities if elected?

Bagala: Infrastructure improvement: La. 1 completion from Golden Meadow to Port Fourchon, then north to U.S. 90; protect the jobs and economy we currently have and our quality of life; education support from K-12 to Nicholls and Fletcher, a fully funded TOPS program, early-childhood initiatives and bringing our teachers up to and beyond the Southern average in pay. I also support school choice (where needed), private schools and the Scholarship Program.

Why would you be the best representative for your district?

Bagala: Our area needs a voice now. I have been preparing for this position my entire life. My experience is tested and we cannot afford to send someone to Baton Rouge who needs a learning curve. We need a loud and strong voice now, a person willing to fight for our area.

What are your views on tax reform? What would you like to see changed, if anything.

Bagala: I fully support lower taxes on both the personal and business sides. I support a simplified, indexed structure.

BP settlement money has supported much of the state’s efforts for coastal restoration and protection. When that money runs out, how should the state pay for and address coastal issues, particularly those in Terrebonne and Lafourche?

Bagala: GOMESA and fighting for a greater revenue-sharing formula for Louisiana on the federal level.

How should the state address growing and costly infrastructure needs?

Bagala: Prioritize capital-outlay spending on roads and bridges. There must be a high priority associated with the economic benefit of each project. I oppose allowing legislators to add projects to the final transportation capital outlay list.

This legislature will have a chance to influence how the district boundaries are redrawn after the 2020 census. Would you propose or support any major changes to the current district lines?

Bagala: Yes, unify District 54 in the Mathews and Raceland area.

What is your position on proposed legislation to give fishermen the right to traverse private waterways in coastal marshes?

Bagala: I would support language in a proposed bill such as 2018′s House Bill 381.
