Parish
escapes
flooding
By PRESTON GILL
pgill@daily-review.com
While the Tri-City area appears to have escaped significant flooding from rainstorms
in the past 24 hours, the parish
remains under a National
Weather Service flash flood
watch through 6 p.m. today.
National Weather Service
meteorologist Roger Erickson
said the amount of rain today
and the degree of flooding
threat for St. Mary Parish depends on whether a line of
heavy rain this morning in St.
Landry and Vermillion parishes
moves eastward. The chance of
rain is 70 percent today and tomorrow with a 50 percent
chance on Saturday and 30 percent on Sunday, Erickson said.
The rain gauge at the Bayou
Boeuf locks accumulated 1.8
inches of rain in the past 24
hours. The National Weather
Service estimated that 2 to 4
inches of rain fell in some
places in the parish.
Nick Dinger, an operator at
the Berwick locks, reported
that 4.5 inches of rain fell there
in the 24-hour period ending at
8 a.m.
Berwick Mayor Louis Ratcliff
said precautionary barricades
were put out when about 3

Tornado
in Garyville,
houses flood,
1 death
BY JANET MCCONNAUGHEY
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A line
of severe storms swept
through southern Louisiana
on Wednesday, unleashing a
tornado that damaged an oil
refinery, downpours that
caused widespread street and
home flooding, and lightning
that is believed to have
sparked a house fire. At least
one person died, apparently
after being swept under a
truck by rushing water,
authorities said.
An EF-1 tornado, about
150 yards wide with maximum winds estimated near
105 mph, hit Garyville about
5:30 a.m., the National
Weather Service said.
The tornado damaged a
cooling
tower
at
the
Marathon Petroleum Corp.
refinery, shutting down the
crude oil unit it served, and
two refinery workers needed
minor first aid, company
spokesman Jamal Kheiry
said in an email. The unit
probably will remain closed
until the cooling tower is
fixed, he said. He added that
other refinery units, including a second crude refining
unit, were still operating.
There were no other
reports of injuries in St. John
the Baptist Parish, where the
only other reported damage
was a few flooded houses,
parish
spokeswoman
Baileigh Rebowe said.

day night at NicoBella in Morgan City.

Former governor is
running for Congress;
says people are
concerned about
‘Obamacare’

MORGAN CITY — Former governor
and 6th Congressional District candidate Edwin Edwards stopped in Morgan
City Wednesday night for a fundraiser
at NicoBella, telling supporters he will
spend their money in the district for
their benefit, even though they are not
in his district.
While addressing supporters at the
fundraiser, Edwards said, “What people
are going to say to you is ‘what the hell
is Edwin Edwards doing in Morgan City
running for Congress in the 6th District?’”
However, Edwards said he can spend
donors’ money in the 6th District to benefit those people in the Morgan City
area. St. Mary Parish is in Louisiana’s
3rd Congressional District. U.S. Rep.
Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, who
represents St. Mary Parish and the rest
of the 3rd District, is married to Edwards’ niece.
The 6th District includes Ascension,
Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East
Feliciana, Iberville, Lafourche, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, St. Charles, St.
Helena, St. John the Baptist, Terrebonne and West Baton Rouge parishes.
Former U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon
introduced Edwards at the fundraiser.
When event organizer Lenny Dartez
called him asking him to introduce Edwards, Melancon thought, “Is this silly?
Nobody knows me. Everybody knows
him so why would I need to introduce
him?” he said. During his political career, Edwards has been a city councilman, state senator, congressman and
longest serving governor in state history, Melancon said.
Melancon has known Edwards since

Edwards is running for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District seat.
“The president had
promised that if
people liked their
insurance they could
keep it. That turned
out not to be correct.”
—Edwin Edwards
1971 when he worked on Edwards’ campaign for governor.
From talking to people, Edwards said
their biggest concern is “Obamacare.”
The bill is extremely complicated and
does not do exactly what it was supposed to do, he said.
“The president had promised that if
people liked their insurance they could
keep it. That turned out not to be cor-
rect,” Edwards said.
However, the bill does have good provisions including allowing people with
pre-existing conditions to get health insurance and children can stay on their
parents’ policies until age 26.
Though the event was a fundraiser
for Edwards’ campaign, he wanted to let
people in the Morgan City area know
that even though they are on the far end
or just outside of the district, he still
cares about them and will be there to
serve them, he said.
Edwards also said the Keystone
pipeline also needs to be completed and
legislators should continue to push to
allow for its completion, he said. “There
are 173,000 miles of pipeline in this
country transporting petrochemicals,
oil, gas and gasoline. There’s no major
problems with that,” Edwards said.

Louisiana education officials
say regionally and statewide, public school student scores stayed
relatively steady over 2013 scores,
but noted that the tests are becoming more challenging as the
state seeks to
better prepare
students
for
college.
Statewide,
69 percent of
public school
students scored
at the “basic” or
better level on Donald Aguillard
standardized
tests this year. St. Mary Parish
edged the state at 70 percent. Both
of those numbers were identical in
2013.
St. Mary Parish, at 27th in the
state for 3rd through 8th grade
proficiency,
was
edged
by
Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, which each had 71 percent of
students scoring basic and above
in both 2013 and 2014.
Regionally, the next closest
parish was Assumption, ranking
34th with 67 percent, up one point
over 2013. Iberia Parish was 36th
with 67 percent, down one point
from 2013. St. Martin ranked
42nd with 65 percent in both 2013
and 2014.
For St. Mary Parish, Superintendent Donald Aguillard said
“LEAP and iLEAP test results released on Tuesday reflect that we
experienced a very successful academic year in grades 3-8. I remind
you that the 2014 version of LEAP
and iLEAP were modified to be
more closely aligned to questions
expected on the PARCC assessments.”
Specifically, Aguillard said,
State Superintendent John White
recently identified major changes
in the test format including:
—More challenging texts and
questions.
—Additional long writing questions in all grades.
—Scoring of students’ writing
prompts for grammar in all
grades.
—In math, requiring students
to both justify their reasoning and
respond to arguments by identifying correct reasoning or flawed
logic in the argument.
Aguillard said that because of
the changes, “comparison of 2014
to prior year results is not appropriate given that the 2014 LEAP
and iLEAP exams contained more
challenging questions.”
By 2025, White said, half of all
students at a school will have to
achieve subject mastery in order
for that school to get an A rating.
“There is not a school system in
the state that is at that level today,” White said.
Aguillard identified the 10-year
journey as “one of the significant
challenges facing all school districts as we move closer to PARCC
testing.”
St. Mary Parish recorded 23
percent of students in grades 3-8
as having attained mastery in
2014. That placed the parish in

NEW ORLEANS — Prison
inmates, a researcher in Nepal
and a Cajun chef are among
those contributing to a historian’s understanding of chayote
and his project to restore the
edible gourd to backyards
across the Gulf Coast.
A hard freeze in the 1990s
and Hurricane Katrina’s floods
in 2005 killed the variety
known locally as mirlitons in
New Orleans. Lance Hill, a professor at Tulane University,
had never seen the pale green
foodstuff until he moved to New
Orleans in the 1980s and a
neighbor brought some over.
“Like any foreigner, I said
‘What’s that? What do you use
it for?’ They gave me recipes. I
started growing them and became an enthusiast,” said Hill,
director of the Southern Institute for Education and Research, Tulane’s tolerance education and race relations research institute.
Now the expert in race relations has become an aficionado

Many churches also have support groups for parents to connect with each other. I have
seen churches save marriages
and get couples back on the

PASSING IT ON
IN TENNESSEE
Dear Abby
DEAR PASSING IT ON:
Your suggestion was mentioned by a number of other
readers. They, too, felt that
solving her financial problems would lessen or eliminate the marital discord
“Holding” and her husband
are experiencing. Read on:
FULL OF IDEAS
IN WASHINGTON
DEAR ABBY: One of the
largest contributors to our national charitable network —
United Way — offers many
helpful services. The Consumer
Credit Counseling Service may
also be a resource, if credit
cards are part of the problem.
If there is a choice between
paying a bill or buying groceries, the bill should come
first. There are many food
pantries. The family can also
apply for food stamps.
Asking for help can be difficult or embarrassing, but
knowing your kids won’t be
hungry makes it worth it.
BEEN THERE,
DONE THAT, TOO
DEAR ABBY: “Holding”
should seek help from the
school counselor. He/she can
recommend mental health support within the family’s financial means, and connect them
with additional community resources to lessen some of the
stresses of daily life. With many
families struggling in many
ways, encouraging this woman
to seek out available help is
crucial.
SCHOOL COUNSELOR-INTRAINING
DEAR ABBY: “Holding”
should contact her bank about
refinancing her mortgage. If
she can’t pay her electric bill,
she should see if she qualifies
for a reduced rate for her income level. As for the kids, if
they’re in school, they probably
meet the criteria for the reduced-cost lunch program.
DEAR ABBY: Does her employer or her husband’s have an
Employee Assistance Program?
These services offer a wide range
of help, including dealing with
mental health and financial issues, and may be paid for as part
of the employer’s contract with
the EAP organization.
JUST MY TWO CENTS
DEAR ABBY: If the woman’s
county doesn’t have a mental
health department, her region
should have a department of
public health. Or she could be
guided by the school nurse at
her children’s school. School
nurses are often the first responders to families in crisis or
in need of counseling.
NEW ENGLAND NURSE
DEAR ABBY: It is human nature to want the best for one’s
family, but a lot of the couples
suffering this kind of stress
have brought it on themselves.
There won’t be enough money for food and monthly bills if
they are paying for new cars, a
house they can’t afford, ordering takeout instead of cooking,
subscribing to the deluxe cable
TV package, going on expensive
vacations and paying for activities the kids “have to do” just
because their friends are. Couples’ financial problems could
be greatly improved if they
would only make better choices.

productive bit of agriculture.
“There aren’t a lot of vegetables that people can plant and
have access to 300 pounds of
fruit in their backyard,” he
said.
In New Orleans, mirlitons
— a name common to
Louisiana and Haiti — are often baked with seafood stuffing in the cavity left by the
single big seed. Their mild
taste and firm texture also
make them useful in recipes
from stews and salads to
casseroles, spaghetti sauce
and even desserts. They are
slightly sweeter than summer
squash and keep their shape
better when cooked.
Hill’s off-hours nonprofit organization, Mirlitons.org, identifies, distributes, and preserves varieties grown for
decades in Louisiana yards. It
also collects and distributes
cultivation and cooking howtos.
He’s identified and named 15
varieties. It’s hard to say how
many people are involved or
just what they’re all growing,
Hill said. “We’ve distributed a
couple thousand seed or plants.
A lot are through growers we
provided seed a few years ago,”
including some in Texas, Alabama and Florida.
“You can keep track of only so
much,” Hill said.
The project sounded like a
natural for the Louisiana State
Penitentiary’s horticulture and
landscaping program, said director Marcus Barnardez, who
teaches 29 inmates serving life
terms and 11 shorter-term in-
mates.
Hill wants some growers cultivating a single variety far
enough from any other chayote
to keep bees from hybridizing
them. That was certainly true
at the remote, 18,000-acre
prison north of Baton Rouge.
The first seedlings thrived in
a prison greenhouse but died in
the dirt. Angola’s soil was too
dense and acidic. After a year of
work, inmates planted 40 fresh
seedlings in full sunlight, as
recommended. Again, nearly all
withered.
“We had tried everything
else. We put up a makeshift
shade cloth. Almost immediately, the plants started to revive,”
said James Burns, an inmate
appealing his second-degree
murder conviction and life sentence for stabbing and running
over his wife in 2007.
After much discussion, he
said, they figured the problem
was the wide-open prison garden. Backyard mirlitons are
“near fences, near houses and
buildings. Trees. They’re never
just in the direct sun,” said
Burns.
Hill was impressed: “They’re
very organized and scientific.”
This year, Burns set up wires
like narrow rows of clotheslines
on which shade cloth will be
laid in the summer. He was
waiting to see whether the
roots survived the frigid winter
under extra layers of mulch to
keep them warm.
Hill got into saving mirlitons
after a hard freeze in the 1990s
killed his vines. Experts told
him to plant grocery-store
chayote, which died in the summer heat.
After Hurricane Katrina,
Hill found a 1995 study by Moha Dutta Sharma of Tribhuvan
University in Nepal describing
about 150 very diverse varieties. More research revealed
that U.S. groceries sell chayote
grown in high mountain valleys. It can’t withstand coastal
Louisiana’s heat, humidity, diseases and bugs.
He began looking for heirloom plants in other parishes.
“It wasn’t particularly easy.
... I’d say the median age of
those growers was about 78
years old,” Hill said.
Chef John Folse, who calls
mirlitons the “premier vegetable of the Cajuns and Creoles,” grows a pure white variety called Ishrael Thibodaux.
He said he’s developing
recipes to use at his restaurants in New Orleans and in
Ridgeland, Mississippi.
As a child in Donaldsonville,
he said, “When mirlitons came
to the table we would look
around to see who was coming.
Company was coming to the
house.”
Hill names each variety he
raises to acknowledge the person who gave it to him.
For example, a woman in her
80s in Cut Off had a huge vine
planted by her father. That vine
likely died in a flood, but a
piece of fruit that the woman
had given Hill was saved. Hill
used that to eventually grow
the Papa Sylvest line.
“She wanted to name it after
her father,” Hill said.

No end yet to salmonella
outbreak tied to chicken
WASHINGTON (AP) — An
outbreak of antibiotic-resistant
salmonella linked to a California
chicken company hasn’t run its
course after more than a year,
with 50 new illnesses in the past
two months and 574 people sickened since March 2013.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
says there are about eight new
salmonella illnesses linked to
the outbreak a week, most of
them in California. So far, there
has been no recall of Foster
Farms chicken.
The Agriculture Department
says it is monitoring Foster
Farms facilities and that measured rates of salmonella in the
company’s products have been
going down since the outbreak
began. The department threatened to shut down Foster Farms’
facilities last year but let them
stay open after it said the company had made immediate changes
to reduce salmonella rates.
The CDC said 37 percent of
victims were hospitalized, and
that the outbreak is resistant to
many antibiotics. In addition,
the CDC said that 13 percent of
the victims had developed blood
infections, almost three times
the normal rate. Victims came
from 27 states and Puerto Rico.
Three-fourths of victims who
were able to provide the CDC
with brand information said
they had consumed chicken
produced by Foster Farms before they became ill.
In a statement, Foster Farms
said it has put many new measures in place, including tighter
screening of birds before they
buy them, improved safety on
the farms where the birds are
raised and better sanitation in
its plants. The company suggested that the recent cases may be
because salmonella incidence increases in the warmer months.
In January, USDA inspectors
briefly closed the a Foster
Farms plant in Livingston,
Calif., after finding cockroaches
on five separate occasions over
four months.

Prosecutors:
Spilled drink led
Hernandez to kill
BOSTON — In the months
leading up to a fatal double
shooting, Aaron Hernandez had
become increasingly convinced
that people had been “testing,
trying or otherwise disrespecting him” when he went to
nightclubs, prosecutors said.
When a man bumped into
Hernandez while dancing,
spilling his drink, that may
have been the last straw. Authorities say the former New
England Patriots star followed
the man and his friends, then
opened fire on their car, killing
two men and wounding a third.
“I think I got one in the head
and one in the chest,” Hernandez said to a friend as they
raced from the intersection
where the victims were shot as
they sat in their car, prosecutors said at the former tight
end’s arraignment.
Hernandez, already charged
with killing another man last
year, pleaded not guilty
Wednesday to seven charges —
including two counts of first-degree murder — in the 2012
shooting that killed Daniel de
Abreu and Safiro Furtado.
Obama seeks
ground between
intervention, isolation
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Seeking to redefine America’s foreign policy for a post-war era,
President Barack Obama on
Wednesday declared that the
United States remains the only
nation with the capacity to lead
on the world stage but argued
it would be a mistake to channel that power into unrestrained military adventures.
Obama’s approach, outlined
in a commencement address at
the U.S. Military Academy, underscored his efforts to straddle
the line between global isolation and intervention. Neither
view, he said, “fully speaks to
the demands of this moment.”
“It is absolutely true that in
the 21st century, American iso-
lation is not an option,” Obama
said in remarks to more than
1,000 of the military’s newest
officers. “But to say that we
have an interest in pursuing
peace and freedom beyond our
borders is not to say that every
problem has a military solution.”
Obama has often struggled to
articulate not only what should
fill the space between intervention and isolation but also any
success the administration has
had in finding that middle
ground. His preferred tool kit,
which includes economic sanctions, diplomatic negotiations
and international coalition
building, rarely generates quick
fixes and is often more ambiguous than more easily explained
military action.
The president’s strategy also
has garnered mixed results.
While diplomacy and sanctions
have brought the U.S. and Iran
closer to a nuclear accord than
ever before, neither approach
has stopped the bloodshed of
Syria’s four-year civil war or
prevented Russia from annexing territory from Ukraine.
CIA drone strike
program in
Pakistan ending
WASHINGTON — Just after
midnight last Christmas, Pakistani officials say, two Hellfire
missiles from a U.S. drone
slammed into a house in Miramshah, Pakistan, killing four
militants.
It was an otherwise unremarkable episode in the sixth
year of a relentless unmanned
aerial campaign by the CIA.
Unremarkable, except for this:
There hasn’t been a drone
strike reported in Pakistan in
the months since.
The secret targeted killing
program that once was the
mainstay of President Barack
Obama’s counterterrorism effort appears to be winding
down. In a major foreign policy
speech at the U.S. Military
Academy on Wednesday, Obama said the U.S. would continue to carry out occasional drone

strikes, but he cited Yemen and
Somalia, not Pakistan, where
drone missiles once rained
down at a rate of two per week.
Armed U.S. drones are still
flying regularly over Pakistan’s
tribal areas, and CIA targeting
officers are still nominating
militants to a kill list, according to U.S. officials regularly
briefed on the covert program
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because they
weren’t authorized to discuss
covert programs publicly. But
over the past five months, no
missiles have been fired.
And while the CIA won’t say
the program has ended, Obama
announced this week a plan to
pull nearly all American troops
out of Afghanistan by the end
of 2016. The targeted killing
program in Pakistan relies on
drones flown from, and intelligence gathered in, U.S. bases
in Afghanistan that would then
be closed.
Egypt: El-Sissi
wins election
CAIRO — With nearly all
votes counted, Egypt’s former
military chief has won a crushing victory over his sole opponent in the country’s presidential election with more than 92
percent of the votes, according
to results announced by his
campaign today. The interim
president said turnout reached
46 percent.
But the turnout figure raised
questions of the vote’s integrity
after the state — following
widespread reports of empty
polling stations during the
scheduled two days of voting —
abruptly added a third day to
beef up the numbers.
The victory by retired field
marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi
was never in doubt, but the career infantry officer had
pushed for a strong turnout to
bestow legitimacy on his ouster
last July of Egypt’s first freely
elected president, the Islamist
Mohammed Morsi.
Poll exams dating
WASHINGTON — Who ever
said the dating game was logical?
A new Associated Press-WE
tv poll turns up all kinds of
contradictions when people lay
out their thoughts on dating,
especially when it comes to
money and gender roles.
Seven in 10 of those surveyed say it’s unacceptable to
expect a date to pay for everything. But most still say it’s a
man’s job to pay for the first
date.
Most say it’s OK to ask
someone out because he or she
seems successful. But even
more say it’s unacceptable to
turn down people because they
haven’t had much success.
One-third think it’s OK to
search for online clues about a
potential first date’s success in
life. But very few say daters
should pay attention to each
other’s finances before they are
exclusive.
Overall, the traits that men
and women rate as important
hew to traditional gender roles.
Men and women agree that
personality is the most important trait to consider when deciding whether to go on a first
date with someone, and very
few overall say money is a top
consideration. Yet men are
more apt than women to prioritize looks, while most women
place greater emphasis on a
suitor’s financial situation and
career ambitions.
It’s not just older people who
feel that way: The differences
are amplified among younger
singles. About half of single
men under age 45 say looks are
a priority; 70 percent of single
women under 45 call career
ambitions key.
There’s a clear gender gap on
finances.
Men are less likely than
women to say they’re comfortable dating someone who
makes significantly more money than they do — 71 percent
of women would be comfortable
in that situation compared
with 59 percent of men. Women
are more wary of dating someone who earns less — 43 percent of men would be OK dating someone with a significantly lower salary; just 28 percent
of women would.
More broadly, uncoupled
Americans are squeamish
about dating those whose financial situations may not
equal their own. A shaky financial past is generally acceptable
(more say they’re comfortable
dating someone who grew up in
a poor family than in a wealthy
one), but a questionable present inspires doubt.

Ukraine military helicopter shot
down; general among dead
SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Rebels in eastern Ukraine shot down a government military
helicopter today amid heavy fighting around
Slovyansk, killing 14 soldiers including a general, Ukraine’s leader said.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov told
the parliament in Kiev that rebels used a
portable air defense missile to bring down the
helicopter. He said Gen. Serhiy Kulchytskiy was
among the dead, according to the Interfax news
agency, which earlier gave the wrong first name
for the general.
Slovyansk, 100 miles from the Russian border,
has become the epicenter of fighting between
pro-Russia insurgents and government forces in
recent weeks. Its residential areas have regularly come under mortar shelling from government
forces, causing civilian casualties and prompting
some residents to flee.
An Associated Press reporter saw the helicopter go down amid a trail of black smoke.
Gunshots were heard in Slovyansk near the
crash site and a Ukrainian air force jet was
seen circling above. It was too dangerous to
visit the site itself.
Turchynov said the helicopter was flying
troops in for a rotation to a hill outside Slovyansk where Ukrainian forces have set up positions.
The Interfax news agency said Kulchytskiy
had once served in the Soviet army and was in
charge of combat training for Ukraine’s National
Guards.
The city of 120,000 is in the Donetsk region,
one of the two sprawling provinces in eastern
Ukraine that have declared independence from
the government in Kiev.
The Kiev government condemns the insurgency roiling the east as the work of “terrorists”
bent on destroying the country and blames Russia for fomenting it. Russia denies the accusations, saying it has no influence over rebels, who
insist they are only protecting the interests of
Russian-speakers in the east.
Still, fighters from Russia, including from
the battled-hardened region of Chechnya,
have been appearing recently in the ranks of
the separatists.
IG: Phoenix VA hospital missed care for 1,700 vets
PHOENIX (AP) — Navy veteran Ken Senft
turned to the Department of Veterans Affairs for
medical care in 2011 after his private insurance
grew too costly. It could have been a fatal mistake, he now says.
A few years ago, the 65-year-old had a lesion
on his head. He went to a VA clinic near his home
outside Phoenix, but he said the doctor told him
it could be two years before he might get an appointment with a dermatologist.
So he paid out of pocket to see a private physician. Turns out, he had cancer.
“What if I had waited two years?” Senft said in
frustration. “I might be dead.”
Senft’s story comes amid allegations of delayed
care and misconduct at VA facilities across the
nation.
A probe of operations at the Phoenix VA
Health Care System found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of being lost or
forgotten” after being kept off an official waiting
list. The investigation, initially focused on the
Phoenix hospital, found systemic problems in the
VA’s sprawling nationwide system, which provides medical care to about 6.5 million veterans
annually.
The scathing report by the VA Office of Inspector General released Wednesday increased pressure on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign.
The interim findings confirmed allegations of
excessive delayed care in Phoenix, with an average 115-day wait for a first appointment for those
on the waiting list. That’s nearly five times
longer than the Phoenix hospital system had reported to national VA administrators.
“While our work is not complete, we have substantiated that significant delays in access to
care negatively impacted the quality of care at
this medical facility,” Richard J. Griffin, the department’s acting inspector general, wrote in the
35-page report. It found that “inappropriate
scheduling practices are systemic throughout”
some 1,700 VA health facilities nationwide, including 150 hospitals and more than 800 clinics.
Griffin said 42 centers are now under investigation.
30% of world is now fat, no country immune
LONDON (AP) — Almost a third of the world
is now fat, and no country has been able to curb
obesity rates in the last three decades, according
to a new global analysis.
Researchers found more than 2 billion people
worldwide are now overweight or obese. The
highest rates were in the Middle East and North
Africa, where nearly 60 percent of men and 65
percent of women are heavy. The U.S. has about
13 percent of the world’s fat population, a greater
percentage than any other country. China and
India combined have about 15 percent.
“It’s pretty grim,” said Christopher Murray of
the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
at the University of Washington, who led the
study. He and colleagues reviewed more than
Maya Angelou,
writer of many
talents, dies at 86
NEW YORK (AP) — Maya
Angelou was a woman of many
identities — poet foremost
among them — but those who
knew her well made sure to address her as Dr. Angelou, out of
respect for all the honorary degrees she received.
Titles mattered to Angelou,
who never graduated from college, as they would to anybody
who grew up with nothing,
achieved everything and were
determined never to give it
back.
Angelou, a renaissance
woman and cultural pioneer,
died Wednesday at her home in
Winston-Salem, N.C. She was
86.
A childhood victim of rape,
she broke through silence and
shame to tell her tale in one of
the most widely read memoirs
of the 20th century. A black
woman born into poverty and
segregation, she recited the
most popular presidential inaugural poem in history.
Tall and regal, with a deep,
majestic voice, she was unforgettable whether encountered
in person, through sound or the
printed word. She was an actress, singer and dancer in the
1950s and 1960s and made a
brave and sensational debut as
an author in 1969 with “I Know
Why the Caged Bird Sings,”
which became standard (and
occasionally censored) reading
and made Angelou one of the
first black women to enjoy
mainstream literary success.
“Caged Bird” was the start of
a multipart autobiography that
continued through the decades
and captured a life of hopeless
obscurity and triumphant,
kaleidoscopic fame.
The world was watching in
1993 when she read her cautiously hopeful “On the Pulse of
Morning” at President Bill
Clinton’s first inauguration.
Her confident performance
openly delighted Clinton and
made publishing history by
making a poem a best-seller.
For President George W. Bush,
she read another poem, “Amazing Peace,” at the 2005 Christmas tree lighting ceremony at
the White House.
1,700 studies covering 188 countries from 1980
to 2013. “When we realized that not a single
country has had a significant decline in obesity,
that tells you how hard a challenge this is.”
Murray said there was a strong link between
income and obesity; as people get richer, their
waistlines also tend to start bulging. He said scientists have noticed accompanying spikes in diabetes and that rates of cancers linked to weight,
like pancreatic cancer, are also rising.
The new report was paid for by the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation and published online
Thursday in the journal, Lancet.
Last week, the World Health Organization established a high-level commission tasked with
ending childhood obesity.

The coming year will be a time
of advancement. Your moneymaking ideas are sound, but
following the proper channels
will be necessary. Stick to a
strict budget, and your situation
will continue to improve, allowing you greater freedom to
develop an idea or interest that
can add to your income.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —
Someone will make you feel
overly sensitive today. Don’t
waste time feeling sorry for
yourself, when you should be
looking for something to do
that enriches your life and leads
to new acquaintances.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) —
Don’t fall prey to a fast-talking
stranger. Keep your eye on your
money and refuse any offers
that seem too good to be true.
Caution is the name of the
game.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Offer
your time to a cause that you
feel passionate about. You can
make life easier for others with
a little effort. Your own problems will seem relatively small.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
Delegate your responsibilities. If
you don’t put in an honest
effort, you will not honor a
commitment. This will cause
problems with an authority figure that will compromise your
position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A
romantic encounter is in the
stars. Don’t question what’s
being offered, just plan to enjoy
the moment and see where it
leads. Social functions will offer
an interesting alternative.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —
Stick to your own affairs today.
You will have to refrain from
commenting on the way others
do things. A friendship may be
jeopardized if you are too opinionated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — Someone close to you
will show interest in your personal life. This can lead to an
offer of help that will allow you
greater freedom to follow interesting pursuits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Don’t take part in gossip.
Protect your reputation regardless of what others do. Stay out
of the spotlight and work diligently to live up to your responsibilities. Actions speak louder
than words.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —
You are probably in need of a
little pampering. A relaxing day
at the spa or an energetic session at the gym will prepare you
for a romantic evening.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
You will feel better about yourself if you get rid of a bad habit.
Self-improvement will help you
shed negativity, making way for
a confident, goal-oriented
mindset.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) —
Love and laughter will surround
you. Now is a good time to
spice up your romantic life.
Socializing or an intimate tetea-tete will enhance your existence.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
Your schedule appears to be
hectic, which will lead to a
costly error if you don’t slow
down and think matters
through carefully. Ask for help if
you feel overwhelmed.

Would Democrats Amend Constitution To Stop The Koch Brothers?
by Byron York
It’s no longer news when
Majority Leader Harry Reid
takes to the floor of the Senate
to denounce the Koch brothers.
But most Americans probably
don’t know that Reid and many
of his Democratic colleagues
now want to amend the U.S.
Constitution in far-reaching
ways to put an end to the conservative billionaires’ political
influence.
“The shadowy Koch brothers are attempting ... a hostile
takeover of American democracy,” Reid charged recently. “No
one should be able to pump
unlimited funds into a political
campaign.”
Reid urged his fellow lawmakers to support a proposed
constitutional
amendment,
written by Democratic Sen.
Tom Udall and co-sponsored by
40 of the Senate’s 55 Democrats, that would give Congress
the right to regulate all political contributions and all spending of any kind in all federal
elections. (It would also give
states the power to do the same
in
state
elections.)
The
Supreme Court has held such
far-reaching restrictions to be
unconstitutional, which is why
Reid wants to take the extreme
step of changing the nation’s
founding document.
“Amending our Constitution
is not something we take lightly,” Reid said. “But the flood of
special interest money into our
American democracy is one of
the greatest threats our system
of government has ever faced.”
The Udall amendment is
brief. This is the heart of it:
“Congress shall have power
to regulate the raising and
spending of money and in-kind
equivalents with respect to federal elections, including setting
limits on (1) the amount of contributions to candidates for
nomination for election to, or
for election to, federal office,
and (2) the amount of funds
that may be spent by, in support of, or in opposition to such
candidates.”
The amendment would
grant incredible power to Congress: the authority to regulate
every dollar raised and every
dollar spent by every campaign
and every outside group in
every federal race in America.
It would do the same for nonmonetary, or “in-kind” contributions — that is, when a person or organization contributes
goods or services to a campaign. If Reid had his way, the
U.S.
Constitution
would
include the phrase “in-kind
equivalents.”
The Udall amendment is
not some sort of eccentric crusade. It is the latest in a long
line of efforts to limit campaign
contributions and spending.
And liberals have been particularly angry recently after the
results of the McCutcheon and
Citizens United cases.
But the Udall amendment is
also part of a Democratic 2014
midterm electoral strategy that
focuses on the Kochs as standin villains representing all of
America’s economic ills.
Building on the Occupy Wall
Street movement and the successful portrayal of Mitt Romney as a plutocrat in the 2012
presidential election, wrote
Washington Post liberal blogger Greg Sargent recently,
Democratic strategists now
believe “struggling swing voters are more open to the argument that the influence of big
money in politics is one of the
key reasons (along with other
long-running trends) for rising
inequality and a key cause of
why the economy is rigged
against them and for the
wealthy ... “
It seems a long shot, but
Democrats are facing a pretty
tough environment this year.
Maybe it’s the best they have.
Still, proposing to amend
the Constitution is a serious
thing. Yes, it has been done for
frivolous purposes in the past:
In 1989, George H.W. Bush
supported a proposed amendment to ban flag burning. But
now, Reid, Charles Schumer
and other top Democrats
pledge that the Udall amendment will be debated in the full
Senate and receive a vote —
and perhaps several votes —
this year. They are serious.
After Reid’s announcement
of support, Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell, a
longtime veteran of the campaign finance wars, expressed
outrage, calling the amendment “an all-out assault on the
right to free speech” and “the
ultimate act of radicalism.”
Privately, some Hill Republicans see the move as a Democratic effort to bait GOP leaders into defending the Kochs.
Which would of course be followed by more Democratic
denunciations of the Kochs.
As far as the amendment
itself is concerned, there’s not a
chance in the world Democrats
will succeed. Amending the
Constitution requires a twothirds vote in both House and
Senate, and then approval by
the legislatures of threefourths of the states. It won’t
happen.
But the very fact that
Democrats plan to seriously
consider
a
constitutional
amendment born of an election-year strategy to silence a
pair of big conservative contributors suggests how far Reid
and his colleagues would go to
crack down on political adversaries. Is any temporary partisan advantage worth such a
radical step?

Obama says too little info about youth concussions
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama called today for
more robust research into
youth concussions, saying there
remains deep uncertainty over
both the scope of the troubling
issue and the long-term impacts on young people.
“We want our kids participating in sports,” Obama said as
he opened a day-long summit
on concussions at the White
House. “As parents though, we
want to keep them safe and
that means we have to have
better information.”
The summit signaled an effort by Obama to use the power
of the presidency to elevate a
national conversation over
youth concussions. The White
House brought together representatives of professional
sports leagues, coaches, parents, young athletes, medical
professionals and others for the
event.
Obama, an avid sports fan
and father of two daughters involved in athletics, highlighted
millions of dollars in pledges
and other support from the National Football League, the National Institutes of Health and
others to conduct research that
could begin to provide answers
and improve safety.
Among the financial commitments is a $30 million joint research effort by the NCAA and
Defense Department and an
NFL commitment of $25 million over the next three years to
promote youth sports safety.
The president said additional
research needs to also be combined with a broader recognition of the need to take the
matter seriously.
“We have to change a culture
that says, ‘suck it up,’ “ he said.
Obama had waded into the
debate over concussions before,
saying that if he had sons, he
would “have to think long and
hard” about whether he would
allow them to play football. As
the father of two daughters,
Obama tried to broaden out the
discussion over head injuries,
saying that young people who
play soccer, lacrosse, hockey
and other sports also are at
risk.
A concussion is a type of
traumatic brain injury that can
be caused by a blow to the
head, or a blow to the body
powerful enough to jostle the
brain around inside the skull.
Nearly 250,000 kids and young
adults visit hospital emergency
rooms each year with brain injuries caused by sports or other
recreational activity, the White
House said.
The NFL recently agreed to
pay $765 million to settle concussion claims from thousands
of former players whose complaints range from headaches to
Alzheimer’s disease. That settle-
ment is still awaiting a judge’s
approval, while a group of former professional hockey players
has filed a class-action lawsuit
of their own against the National Hockey League for head injuries sustained on the ice.
The White House summit
was also looking at concussions
and other brain injuries suffered by service members. Gen.
Ray Odierno, the Army chief of
staff, was also participating in
the summit.
An afternoon sports clinic on
the South Lawn with Obama
and kids from local YMCA programs was canceled because of
rainy weather.
Other research efforts on
concussions and head injuries
include:
— An NIH project looking at
the chronic effects of repetitive
concussions. The work is supported by the Foundation for
the National Institutes of

Manning hasn’t slowed
down this offseason
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) —
Peyton Manning apparently didn’t
need much time off after throwing
for an NFL record 55 touchdowns,
winning his fifth MVP award and
leading the Denver Broncos to the
Super Bowl.
His busy offseason has included
trips to pay respects to retiring stars
such as David Letterman and
Derek Jeter, and visits to college
campuses across the South just like
in the 1990s when he was a star recruit known more for being Archie’s
son.
Denver’s 38-year-old quarterback
raised eyebrows at NFL headquarters and the hackles of some Tennessee fans in April after visiting
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at the same
time as his offensive coordinator,
Adam Gase. Denver’s brain trust
shared secrets with Tide coach Nick
Saban, who said he met them separately to avoid violating NFL rules.
He also visited Oklahoma State,
where he reportedly received a sixfigure speaking fee for an hour’s talk
a few days after giving the keynote
address at the Boy Scouts’ annual
breakfast in Denver for free.
This, of course, is in addition to
the notorious hours of film study, rehab and throwing he does on his
own just to get ready for the offseason work he puts in at Broncos
headquarters.
Then there’s his toddler twins
that keep him busy during whatever free time he does have.
“Staying active, I think that’s
what I try to do,” Manning said after
the Broncos’ first 11-on-11 workouts
of the offseason Wednesday. “I don’t
really enjoy just sitting around doing nothing. Obviously, I rarely get a
chance to do that. Anytime I’m
home, I’m playing, playing a lot of Tball right now with the kids and
playing, staying pretty busy there.”

Louisiana news briefs
Senate approves $24.6B
budget for next year
BATON ROUGE — Senators agreed
Wednesday to a $24.6 billion budget to finance state government operations and
services next year, sending the heavily
rewritten proposal back to the House for
consideration with only days remaining in
the legislative session.
The spending plan includes new money
for services to help the disabled, higher education and public schools. Rank-and-file
state workers would get a pay raise, but
would also face new premium hikes for
health insurance. More than 1,000 state
jobs would be cut, though most are vacant.
Many of the across-the-board cuts proposed by the House for contracts, overtime
pay and vacant positions were stripped by
senators who voted 37-1 for the reworked
budget bill after less than two hours of debate.
“I think we did a pretty good job with it,”
said Finance Committee Chairman Jack
Donahue, R-Mandeville, who led the budget-crafting efforts in the Senate.
More than $70 million in “efficiencies”
recommended by a consulting firm hired
by Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration
would be required to balance the spending
plan, along with more than $970 million in
patchwork financing that isn’t expected to
reappear a year later.
The only vote of opposition came from
Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans.
Peterson has called the spending proposal “a ticking time bomb” because of the
piecemeal financing used to make the
numbers work and because it doesn’t address ongoing concerns about federal rejec-
tion of LSU hospital-privatization financing used in the bill.
Donahue said he had no idea if House
members will embrace the Senate changes
or reject them and send the budget to a
legislative compromise committee.
House to debate secrecy
for Capitol security video
BATON ROUGE — Security surveillance video from the Louisiana Capitol
complex would be kept off-limits under a
bill headed for full House debate, a measure that supporters say would boost safety
in the buildings.
The House and Governmental Affairs
Committee advanced the proposal without
objection Wednesday after a heavy rewrite
that narrowed its scope.
Committee: Truck stop
owner should keep tiger
BATON ROUGE — A measure that
would allow a gas station owner to keep a
tiger at his business is nearing final legislative passage after getting approval
from a Louisiana House committee
Wednesday.
The House Natural Resources Committee voted 10-6 to approve the proposal by
Port Allen Sen. Rick Ward, a Republican
who said he grew up seeing tigers at the
gas station in Grosse Tete.
The bill would allow Michael Sandlin,
owner of Tiger Truck Stop, to keep a 14year-old Bengal tiger named Tony on site
despite court rulings against him. He has
previously lost a lawsuit and has another
one pending that challenges the law prohibiting big cat ownership.
Louisiana passed a law in 2006 that
bars people from owning big cats, but
makes an exception for those who can
“prove previous ownership,” along with
universities and zoos. The bill would
amend the law to say that people who lawfully obtained a big cat and possessed it
since 2006 are included in exemptions.
Jury questionnaires
to be hidden from public
BATON ROUGE — Jury questionnaires
will be kept hidden from the public, if Gov.
Bobby Jindal agrees to the public records
exemption that received final passage
Wednesday with a 96-1 House vote.
Under the bill (Senate Bill 353), the
public can’t see the questionnaires, but
any licensed attorney in Louisiana still
will be able to access them.
Sen. Barrow Peacock, R-Shreveport,
said the questioning during jury selection
in a case still will be open to the public.
Bill OKs student transfers
BATON ROUGE — The House has
agreed to let students at poor-performing
schools have the possibility of switching to
higher-performing schools.
Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, said
the Senate-approved measure (Senate Bill
61) by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa,
would offer choice to public school students, like the state has offered through
the taxpayer-funded voucher program.
The proposal would start with the upcoming 2014-15 school year, in school districts
that agree to participate with a majority
vote of the local school board members.

Hints from
Heloise®
Add Water, Get Rid
of Carpet Dents
BY HELOISE
Dear Heloise: I’ve seen
the hints about removing or
at least alleviating CARPET
INDENTATIONS before, but
I cannot find the clipping I
saved. Would you please
readdress this in your column? — Lynne A., via email
This is a frequently asked
question, and there are a couple of things you can try:
* Put an ice cube in each
indentation. As it melts, use
your fingers to pull up the
carpet fibers. You even can
use a comb (gently) to help
the fibers stand back up.
* Add warm water to a
spray bottle and use it to
dampen the carpet indentations. Then use a hair dryer
on a warm setting, and your
fingers, to fluff up the fibers
while blowing the air on
them.
* You also could use a
clothing steamer to moisten
the carpet and then again
use your fingers to help the
fibers stand up, but be careful not to burn yourself. —
Heloise
FINDING THE PARTS
Dear Heloise: One of the
most frequent and frustrating situations people find
themselves in after moving is
having disassembled an item
and not being able to find the
parts needed to reassemble
it. A simple solution is to
keep a supply of zippered
plastic bags on hand, and as
soon as something is disassembled, put the parts into
the bag and tape the bag to
the underside of the disassembled piece. — Dave S.,
Reading, Pa.
HELPFUL HINTS
Dear Heloise: On medication bottles or boxes, I write
with a felt-tip pen what the
meds are for and how often
the meds are to be taken.
This helps when someone else
is dispensing them.
I also take photos of medical facilities when we go for
appointments and keep them
in a “medical journal.” You
can see quickly where you
need to go for an appointment. — Barbara in San Angelo, Texas
BABY OIL AS REMOVER
Dear Heloise: Baby oil is
great at removing stickers
from tubs and shower surroundings. Just apply until
soaked well, then remove
with a plastic spatula or your
fingernails. (The oil is good
for your hands and nails, too.)
— J.G., via email
You have to be careful not
to scratch the tub or shower,
so don’t use anything metal to
peel away the sticker. Make
sure all the oil is rinsed off
completely, too. — Heloise
CANNING-JAR RINGS
Dear Heloise: I always
read your hints, and I have
appreciated them through the
years. I just read the hint
from a reader about storing
canning-jar rings. I always
store mine on the jar to protect the top of the jar from
chipping. A chipped jar does
not seal! — Nadine, via email
WHEN IN HAND
Dear Heloise: I have always liked this hint: When
you have it in your hand, put
it away. — Dorla R., Wilbur,
Wash.
What a great commonsense hint! This definitely
will help to get it put in the
right place and save time! —

ASK DOCTOR K
Corticosteroids Reduce Inflammation Of Eczema
by Anthony L. Komaroff,
M.D.
DEAR DOCTOR K: My
21-month-old daughter has
eczema. Is there any way to
treat this condition without
steroids?
DEAR
READER:
Eczema, also called atopic
dermatitis, is more than just
dry skin. It is an inflammatory skin disease that often
begins in infancy as an intensely itchy rash. Scratching leads to further irritation. The injured skin becomes chronically inflamed
and more vulnerable to infection.
Airborne allergens can
make eczema worse. Reducing your daughter’s exposure
to these triggers could improve her eczema and reduce
her need for treatment:
— Remove carpets and
heavy draperies from her
sleeping area.
— Wash her bedding frequently in hot water.
— Clean and vacuum frequently.
— Regularly bathe pets
and keep them out of her
bedroom.
— Avoid foods (such as
milk, eggs, soy or wheat) if
they trigger your daughter’s
eczema.
Skin affected by eczema
loses water easily. Keep your
daughter’s skin hydrated by
soaking it in warm (not hot)
baths. Don’t use soaps and
shampoos, which worsen dry
skin, more than twice a
week.
Gently pat (don’t rub) her
skin dry with a soft towel.
Promptly and generously apply thick moisturizers with a
low water content to lock in
the moisture. Choose creams
without fragrances, dyes or
preservatives.
Antihistamines can help
to control the ferocious itch,
but they can cause drowsiness. Giving your daughter
an antihistamine at bedtime
may help relieve her itch
and help her sleep during an
uncomfortable flare-up.
If these measures don’t
control your daughter’s
eczema, her doctor will likely
recommend a topical corticosteroid to apply to her
skin.
Corticosteroid creams and
ointments effectively reduce
inflammation. They are one
of the most important types
of medicines to be developed
in the past 50 years. Eczema
is just one of the many diseases and conditions that
can be effectively treated by
these medicines.
Corticosteroids often are
called just “steroids” by doctors. But don’t be confused:
These inflammation-fighting
hormones are different from
the “steroids” that body
builders use.
Corticosteroid creams can
gradually thin the skin and
cause small blood vessels to
break if used on the face. So
use them with caution, and
in low doses, on the face —
as directed by your daughter’s doctor.
You may have heard that
corticosteroids can stunt a
child’s growth and thin the
bones. That’s an issue with
corticosteroid pills (or injections), but not with corticosteroid creams and ointments
— unless extraordinary
amounts are used over much
of the body.
As with any medicine,
corticosteroids have both
benefits and risks. You
should discuss with your
daughter’s doctor what the
balance of benefits and risks
is likely to be in her case,
and I’m sure you’ll be able to
find the right treatment.
Fortunately, your daughter
has available effective treatments that had not yet been
developed two generations
ago.

GRETNA — Jefferson Parish authorities have
arrested three women accused of torching a diner where they worked and stealing the business’
video poker proceeds.
Myrtle Brown, 48, of Terrytown, Amy Waguespack, 27, and Chrystal Calvin, 23, both of Harvey, were booked with aggravated arson and
theft valued over $1,500. Calvin and Waguespack are free on bond; Brown remained in custody Wednesday with bond set at $30,000.
Deputies and crews from the Terrytown Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched just after 2 a.m. April 25 to Goody’s Cafe after getting
reports of a structure fire. No one was injured in
the blaze, which caused about $6,000 worth of
damage.
Investigators, in an incident report, noted the
fire appeared to have been intentionally set.
Surveillance footage from the restaurant shows
Calvin starting the fire. After denying involvement, police say she eventually confessed and
implicated her co-workers.
Calvin told detectives the trio had been angered by a threat from the diner’s owner to fire
them and close down the business, arrest reports
said. They then allegedly hatched a plan to burn
the café and steal $3,800 worth of video poker
proceeds. The women equally split the money after the fire, the arrest report said.
Bill would end salary
approval for higher ed chief
BATON ROUGE — A measure that would let
the Louisiana Board of Regents choose the higher education commissioner and set the commissioner’s salary without legislative approval has
overwhelmingly passed the House.
The House voted 89-9 Wednesday to back the
proposal by Metairie Sen. Conrad Appel.
Currently, the board must get the Senate to
confirm its choice for commissioner and get the
Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget to
approve its salary offer.
Amite Rep. John Edwards, who presented the
bill, said Louisiana would be able to attract the
best commissioner by removing legislative approval, which he said is an unnecessary obstacle.
Opponents say the oversight is minimal and
important.
The bill moves back to the Senate for consideration of House changes.
Lawmakers agree to remove
judges’ retirement age
BATON ROUGE — Voters will decide if
Louisiana’s judges should be forced to retire after reaching age 70 and finishing their current
terms.
The Senate gave final passage to the proposed
constitutional amendment with a 32-4 vote
Wednesday, sending it to the voters for consideration. It will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Supporters describe the proposal as a fairness
issue that gives voters who elect judges the ability to decide if they think someone should no
longer serve. They said it was discriminatory to
have an age restriction on when someone must
leave office.
Opponents say the restriction in the state constitution acts as a term limit on judges.
Teacher accused of sexual
encounter with student
HOUMA — Terrebonne Parish deputies say
high school teacher and boys track coach has
been arrested for allegedly having a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old male student.
Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said 37-year-old Derrick Nesby, of New Orleans, was arrested at H.L.
Bourgeois High School Wednesday when he returned to pick up his personal property. Nesby
was booked with felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
The sheriff says Nesby denies the allegations.
Earlier this month, Larpenter says detectives
received a complaint regarding allegations of
Newsy being involved with one of his students.
State worker pleads
guilty to theft charges
BATON ROUGE — A state auditor for
Louisiana Department of Children and Family
Services has pleaded guilty to charges of theft
from a federally-funded entity.
U.S. Attorney Walt Green said Delrice J. Augustus, 34, admitted at Wednesday’s hearing before U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick to using his
official position to defraud the department out of
between $120,000 and $200,000 through three
schemes.
Augustus admitted to the fraudulent use of
government purchasing cards to buy home entertainment electronics, hotel rooms, rental vehicles, and even a dishwasher for personal use.
Technical Industries
buys Total Pipe assets
LAFAYETTE — Lafayette-based Technical Industries Inc., an affiliate of Energy & Technology
Corp., has purchased the assets of Total Pipe
Services Inc. in Broussard.
George M. Sfeir, chief executive officer of Energy & Technology Corp. and Technical Industries Inc., said the operation will be relocated to
an Abbeville facility to become a one-stop shop
and boost the manufacturing capability.
Total Pipe previously was a subsidiary of
Seaboard Pipe Inc.
Senate votes to delay
implications of Common Core
BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Senate has
agreed to delay the consequences of using the
Common Core education standards until the
2016-17 school year.
That’s one year longer than the policy adopted
by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The Senate voted 29-8 Wednesday for the proposal by New Orleans Rep. Walt Leger, a Democrat. The vote moved the bill one step from final
passage. It must return to the House for consideration of Senate changes.
Supporters say the state should provide another year to make sure teachers and students
adjust to the tougher standards before their
achievement is graded and used to affect teacher
evaluations and school takeovers.
Opponents say the bill would tie Louisiana to
Common Core and its associated testing.
Inmate found dead in cell
LAFAYETTE — Officials say a 41-year-old inmate in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center has died in his cell.
Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Capt. Craig Stansbury said Chris Jefferson was found unresponsive during routine jail cell inspections at 5 a.m.
Wednesday.
Stansbury says Jefferson was a state Department of Corrections prisoner who was transferred to Lafayette on Sept. 14.
The department had Jefferson on hold on a
charge of manslaughter. Stansbury said he didn’t know if Jefferson was serving a sentence or if
he was awaiting trial.

Landry to speak at Morgan City meeting
MORGAN CITY — The St.
Mary Industrial Group will
hold its monthly luncheon
meeting at noon Monday at the
Petroleum Club of Morgan City.
The guest speaker will be
state Attorney General candidate and former U.S. representative, Jeff Landry.
The meetin g is private.
Morgan City, was arrested at
3:59 a.m. today for careless operation, no driver’s license and
failure to report an accident.
Morgan City police were dispatched to U.S. 90 West bound
in regards to a single vehicle
crash. Officers were made
aware that the driver was not
on scene. A short time later, police received a call from the
owner of the vehicle at which
time they met officers at the
Police Department.
While speaking to the driver,
Rodriquez, officers were advised that he was driving the
vehicle on U.S. 90 and lost control. The vehicle slid off of the
roadway into the wooded area.
Officers learned that Rodriquez
left the scene of the accident
due to him not having a driver’s
license, Banks said. He was
jailed.
(Continued from Page 1)
Some homes and businesses also flooded in adjacent St.
James Parish, but officials
were still tallying the damage, spokeswoman Melissa
Wilkins said.
Nearly 50 houses and
apartments flooded in St.
Landry Parish, 32 of them in
an area north of Sunset that
got 7 inches of rain, administrative director Jesse Bellard
estimated.
“The drainage in that area
doesn’t flow that great and
when they get that much
rain,” he said.
Bellard said parish crews
helped get most of the water
out of the houses and helped
families clean up.
“We’ve
been
running
around the parish trying to
clean up the drainage problems with logs in the ditches
Parish
(Continued from Page 1)
inches of rain fell in a four-hour
period late last night in parts of
Berwick. Barricades were deployed near Tournament Boulevard and in the area of Fourth
and Texas streets.
“At about 3 to 4 a.m. everything was back to normal with
no reports of flooding,” Ratcliff
said. “The water on the streets
was in areas where we typically
have problems during high
rainfall.”
Morgan City Mayor Frank
“Boo” Grizzaffi said his department heads were reporting no
Edwards
(Continued from Page 1)
brought the idea to Edwards
about two months ago to hold a
fundraiser while at another political function. “We discussed
the configuration of the district,
and he said it was going to be
close to St. Mary. But he wasn’t
running in St. Mary,” Dartez
said.
Still, Dartez told Edwards
people in the area would still
probably like to raise money for
his campaign, he said.
“He was good to the oil field
service companies when he was
governor and when he was a
senator before that and congressman before that,” Dartez
said.
Dartez expected about 150
people to show up during the
event, he said. A few people
came from the 6th Congressional District in Terrebonne and
Lafourche parishes, Dartez
said.
Though Edwards is a Democrat, Edwards said he would not
vote for or against legislation
just based on party-affiliation,
though he does not like some of
the things the right-wing, tea
party supports and even certain things in his own party.
Regarding river dredging,
Edwards said he intends to be
on the public works committee
in Congress, which handles
that issue. Edwards was responsible for constructing the

and stuff and prepare for the
rains we’re going to have
later,” he said.
In Ascension Parish, south
of Baton Rouge, at least 29
homes, three schools and two
businesses
flooded,
spokesman Lester Kenyon
said. He said Drainage
Director Bill Roux estimated
total rainfall at 9 to 11 inches.
Ascension Parish sheriff ’s
deputies said a 56-year-old
man was found dead in a
flooded parking lot.
Deputies said the man was
found outside his job about
4:30 p.m. The business closed
before noon, and when the
owner went out to check the
flooded parking lot he found
the victim under a vehicle.
Investigators believe the
water pushed the man under
the vehicle.
Chief Deputy Tony Bacala
said the incident remains
damages or flooding in the city
and that the streets were not
flooded.
Patterson Mayor Rodney
Grogan said correcting culvert
problems has helped stop the
once-frequent cases of flooding
of areas south of the railroad
tracks.
“We have been fortunate,”
Grogan said. “I have not gotten
any reports of flooding,” from
yesterday and last night’s rainfall.

Edwards was instrumental

first ran for governor in 1971.
The Morgan City and Houma
areas are extremely important
to the shipping, oil and gas industry and agricultural industries in Louisiana, Edwards
said.
Edwards served as governor
for 16 years and served in Congress for seven years prior to
that. “I know the conditions of
