By Jonathan Menard Editor & Publisher [email protected] Seven people have been arrested after a St. Rose man was shot to death on Kennedy Street during an attempted robbery related to drugs, according to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office. Officers responded to the scene last Monday after resi- dents in the area heard gunfire around 5 a.m. When police arrived, they discovered the body of 21-year-old Richard Bailey, who had been shot several times.

Smith, the son of Henry Smith, who was the last Aviation Board member to represent St. Charles Parish, received his nomination to the board following a two- year standoff between the Parish Council and Parish President V.J. St. Pierre over the nomination of political insider and Luling businessman Neal Clulee to the seat. St. Pierre vetoed Clulee’s nomination twice and was overridden by the Parish Council each time. However, Clulee’s nomination was eventually rejected by the New Orleans City Council. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu also filed a lawsuit against St. Charles Parish regarding their ability to select the parish’s representative on the board. According to Landrieu, the New Orleans City Council has the ultimate say on who is placed on the New Orleans Aviation Board and had originally asked for three St. Charles Parish nominees but only received one, Clulee. During the legal motions that followed, St. Charles Parish went without a representative for more than two years before the council finally changed their nomination from Clulee to Smith. Clulee then filed a lawsuit claiming that the council violated several state laws regarding parliamentary pro- cedure during Smith’s nomination. The lawsuit says the council did not identify the motion they were taking up, did not identify the matter in the agenda and deviated from the agenda to take up the motion.

Deputies rushed inside of Club Forest and found 17-year-old Kevin Oliver dragging himself across the floor, a bullet wound in his side. Oliver later died of his injuries and no one has ever been prosecuted for his murder. Through eyewitness accounts, depu- ties discovered that Oliver had allegedly been fighting with a man in the club known only as “Isadore” who was from St. Rose.

First off, she had a milk allergy and required extra medical attention to ensure she was receiving the proper nourishment.

As deputies were trying to control the crowd in the parking lot, a shot rang out from inside the club and a stream of people came running out of the building.

The St. Charles Parish School Board is facing a potential lawsuit from a Wisconsin-based non-profit organization because they used God’s name in resolutions and continue to host a public prayer before School Board meetings.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) recently sent a letter to School Board offi-cials requesting that they no longer include the phrase “Whereas almighty God…” in the begin-ning of each of the School Board’s resolutions and stop beginning meetings with a public prayer, which the group says violates the constitution.

“It is beyond the scope of a public school board to schedule prayer or pass resolutions invoking ‘Almighty God’ as part of its regular meetings. Federal courts have struck down school board practices that include this religious ritual,” the letter reads.

In response, the School Board amended their resolutions to remove the phrase “Whereas almighty God…”, but have decided to maintain the tradition of saying a prayer before every meeting with the caveat that they will notify the

public before the prayer begins so that anyone can leave the room should they choose not to participate.

“While the board and superintendent are com-mitted to upholding the law, we believe strongly that moments of reflection are not only necessary, but are consistent with the values of the commu-nity we serve,” Jay Robichaux, president of the St. Charles Parish School Board, said. “Therefore we will continue this practice (of holding prayer) prior to the official start of the board meeting.”

By continuing the prayer, Robichaux doesn’t feel that the School Board is in conflict with the constitution.

“We don’t think we are breaking the law,” he said. “We did adjust, but we basically feel like we are in compliance with the law.”

The owner of a crab factory has vowed to rid the area of a stench that is apparently caused by drainage from his factory flowing into an open ditch.

The crab factory, located on Old Highway 90 in Des Allemands next to St. Gertrude The Great Catholic Church, belongs to Bobby DeJean and has served as a processing and crab boiling plant since 2009. A previous facility run by DeJean on the site only served as a crab picking plant until it burnt down in 2007.

DeJean said after the drain-age from his plant is diverted into St. Gertrude’s sewage sys-tem, the smell should go away.

“It is going to be taken care

of for sure,” he said. “I am working right now with the water board and the parish. As a matter of fact they are here right now. I got permission from the church and we will have everything rerouted.”

Some Des Allemands resi-dents said the stinky smell has plagued the area ever since DeJean rebuilt and expanded operations at his crab factory.

According to Rick and Teresa Johnson, who live behind the crab factory and right next to the ditch, the odor has resulted in some longtime residents emptying out of the neighborhood.

T. Johnson said that some days the smell is so bad that her family cannot even go out-side.

“It is horrible and smells just like that crab factory,” she said.

Public Works Director Sam

Scholle said the water in the ditch is septic and is a definite health issue that needs to be addressed.

Councilman Paul Hogan said he thinks DeJean is taking the right steps to remedy the situation.

“(DeJean) always has a little trickle coming out of there and that little trickle is what is cre-ating the bulk of this situation. He is going to connect a small little line to the church’s sewer system,” Hogan said.

Hogan said he does not know if the diverted pipe will fix the problem, but anything is worth trying.

“If they are willing to do that, I am willing to give it a shot. As long as the stink goes away (the residents) don’t care about how it happened,” he said.

“There had been three or four fights there; two of them going on at the same time as the shooting, and one just prior. The ladies bathroom was cov-ered with blood. There was blood in different locations from different fights that were going on,” Maj. Rodney Madere, who is now chief of investiga-tions for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office, said during a court hearing. “So when we got there, there was some blood, but it was smeared all over the place. I mean, you couldn’t get a pattern out of anything.”

Madere said he attempted to speak to Oliver, but couldn’t due to his condition.

“I went to the hospital to see if I could speak to Kevin Oliver before he passed away. He was being worked on in surgery,” he said.

Within an hour of the shoot-ing, Oliver passed away from his wounds and the attempted murder became a homicide.

While Madere was at the hos-pital, other deputies on the scene located six witnesses–some who said they saw “Isadore” in a brawl with Oliver and others who said they saw “Isadore” pull a gun from his waistband and fire one shot into Oliver’s side before fleeing the establishment.

In fact, witness Shelita Collins’ was even able to iden-tify the weapon as a silver .25 caliber handgun.

Two hours after the shooting, as the eyewitnesses were speak-ing to deputies, a man wearing a blood-stained t-shirt and jeans appeared in the area look-ing for a set of keys he dropped in the club. This was Isadore Sutton, a 27-year-old St. Rose man.

Madere said Sutton was quickly apprehended and charged with first-degree mur-der.

“He had blood all over his shirt and everything, so they grabbed him knowing he was

Isadore and knowing that we were looking for a subject named Isadore,” he said.

Sutton did not dispute that he had been in the club that night, nor that he had been fighting with Oliver. However, he main-tained that he was not the one who had pulled the trigger.

The Sheriff ’s Office also secured a search warrant for Sutton’s car that was parked near Club Forest and found a loaded AK-47 with 30 rounds of ammo in the clip, but did not find a handgun

Later in a hearing on the murder, two of the witnesses to the crime did not appear.

According to a court filing by Sutton’s attorney, Greg Miller, who is now a state representa-tive, only one witness ever testi-fied that she had seen Sutton shoot Oliver.

“Only one witness against Mr. Sutton, Shelita Ann Collins, has ever testified that Mr. Sutton was the shooter, despite the fact that the shooting occurred in a crowded night club,” the filing stated.

In testimony at a preliminary hearing, Collins said she had in fact seen Sutton shoot Oliver.

“The fight had broke out and I seen Isadore and Kevin fight-ing. Isadore came out his pock-et with a gun,” she said.

Collins said the attack was provoked by Oliver’s interac-tion with another bar patron.

“He bumped Isadore, Isadore bumped him, and a fight had broke out,” she said.

However, Collins admitted that she had never met Oliver before and at that time she did not know Sutton by name although she had seen him around bars in Kenner, only learning his name after the inci-dent.

Following Collin’s testimony, further research into the inci-dent by Miller and other defense attorneys revealed that other witnesses in the club at the time of the shooting identified another man as the shooter.

According to Miller’s filing, Marcella Bailey, who originally

identified Sutton as the shooter, later said she had seen Sutton fighting in another area of the club at the time and had not seen him shoot Oliver. Her statement was backed up by the owner of Club Forest.

“Louis John, owner of Club Forest, has stated that Mr. Sutton was involved in a fight in another area of the bar from where the shooting occurred. This was corroborated by Marcella Bailey,” the filing stat-ed.

A witness later contacted by Sutton’s defense team, Destrehan resident Christopher Robinson, actually admitted that he was the one fighting with Oliver at the time of the shooting, not Sutton.

According to Miller, Robinson said that Brent Reynaud showed him a chrome .25 caliber pistol in Club Forest prior to the shooting and that a man named Rondell Jenkins admitted to shooting Oliver.

Madere admitted in testimo-ny that there were rumors that other people may have been involved in Oliver’s murder, but he maintained that Sutton was the prime suspect.

Sutton was eventually released from jail after his bond was lowered to $400,000 and his grandmother put up her home as collateral for his release.

On June 25, 1997, six months after the shooting occurred, the case against Sutton was dropped by the St. Charles Parish District Attorney’s Office. Sutton died of a heart attack shortly after.

Madere and the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office would not speak about the case when contacted by the St. Charles Herald-Guide citing a gag order. Miller did not return sev-eral phone calls regarding the case.

Those who may have infor-mation on the death of Kevin Oliver should contact the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office at (985) 783-1135 or contact Crimestoppers at (877) 903-STOP.

Marcel announces candidacy for judge

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Destrehan attorney Tim Marcel will again run for the Division E judgeship of the 29th Judicial District Court. The seat is currently held by Judge Michelle Morel, who defeated Marcel by 168 votes in a 2012 special election.

The election will take place on Nov. 4.

A graduate of LSU Law School, Marcel has more than 17 years of practice in state and federal courts across southeast Louisiana. He has served as president of the St. Charles Parish Bar Association and is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association Alcohol and Drug Abuse Committee.

“There isn’t a more impor-tant public office in our com-

munity than district court judge,” Marcel said. “The role of a judge is that of a public servant who is charged with applying the law to serve the people and the community as a whole. It is imperative that judges perform their duties in a manner which insures public trust in our legal system.”

Over the past 15 years, Marcel has been an active civic volunteer, having served on the boards of Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse, the Council on Aging Advisory Council, the Center for Family and Youth Services, and the United Way of St. Charles Parish. Additionally, he is a member of the Rotary Club of St. Charles Parish.

Marcel has also been a vol-unteer instructor for the St. Charles Parish Community Education Program for nearly

a decade, providing i n f o r m a -tion about wills and s u c c e s -sions to the public.

“I am r u n n i n g for judge because my legal experience combined with my involve-ment in community organiza-tions make me uniquely quali-fied to serve,” Marcel said. “As a strong believer in responsible family values, as demonstrated by my devotion to my family, I will put my experience to work to build a safer and better community for all.”

The last day for voters to register to vote in this election is Oct. 6. Early voting is sched-uled from Oct. 21-28.

Luling assisted living center only one in state to receive dementia care award

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Ashton Manor Assisted Living and Memory Care became the only such center in Louisiana to receive the Dementia Care Specialists’ Distinguished Provider Award.

Each team member at Luling’s Ashton Manor is spe-cially trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and the community’s individualized programs are designed to enable each resident to func-tion at the highest possible level.

“We believe that the best way to help people at every stage of the disease is to build abilities-based, person-cen-tered care around under-standing what someone’s life was like in order to make their life better,” David Schonberg, owner of Ashton Manor, said.

Schonberg said the memo-ry care director and activities director compile a list of interests and use this infor-mation to design an activity calendar that incorporates those interests into each resi-dent’s daily routine.

Some of the activities

offered include trivia, chess, cards with friends, porch talk, craft time, old movie night and a game where resi-dents find clues that lead them to hidden treasure. Some activities coincide with certain days of the week, such as on Friday the 13th when residents discuss supersti-tions.

“For residents with unique interests, the memory care director and activities direc-tor provide specialized care plans and activity kits that care partners can use to engage the resident in one-See ashton manor on page 6A

Faucheux said when Kaydence happened to grunt during one of the family’s trip to the doctor, she began to real-ize something more severe may be wrong with her baby girl.

“One time when I took her to the doctor she grunted and they said it sounded like respi-ratory distress,” she said.

It was apparent that Kaydence was having trouble breathing. After a battery of tests, doctors came across a startling discovery.

“Her white blood cell count was so high they were afraid she would get septic,” Faucheux said.

Still, they had not deter-mined the source of the prob-lem.

It was not until a nurse decided to check Kaydence’s oxygen saturation levels that they realized the severity of her condition.

“One of the nurses walked into her room, heard her grunt-ing and checked her oxygen and realized it was really low,” Faucheux said.

While healthy babies have oxygen saturation levels near 100 percent, Kaydence’s was only in the low 80s.

She was immediately hospi-talized until medical staff could

get a better idea of what afflic-tion she was suffering from.

Shockingly, Kaydence was eventually diagnosed with a rare lung disease called Surfactant Protein C Deficiency.

The disease is caused by a genetic mutation in one of the proteins that lubricates Kaydence’s lungs, which wasn’t allowing them to function properly.

Doctors delivered the news that Kaydence would have to undergo a double lung trans-plant by the age of 10.

The 5-month-old Kaydence was hospitalized for five weeks straight, the entire time receiv-ing oxygen while doctors tried to stabilize her condition.

When she was finally able to leave the hospital, Kaydence required fulltime care.

“She started IV steroid infu-sions three days a month. She did it for 19 months. They have some very bad side effects and they can’t do them forever due to the side effects,” Faucheux said.

Despite all of the problems Kaydence has had to face at such a young age, Faucheux said it could have been worse. If another protein in her lungs had the defect she likely would

have died within a few months. “A lot of these babies that

have these lung diseases pass away. If I wouldn’t have been watching and taking her to the doctor, she would not have sur-vived for long due to being deprived of oxygen,” Faucheux said.

Despite the constant medical care, Faucheux said Kaydence has had a great attitude through it all.

“She has been doing really well, but I guess this is all she knows,” she said.

Now the family is trying to develop a long-range plan to deal with Kaydence’s recovery.

Faucheux said she has received help for her daughter, and learned what to expect as she battles the disease, by join-ing an online community made up of parents whose young children suffer from lung ail-ments.

“When she was first diag-nosed and we were waiting for treatment I would just hold her and she would cry all the time. We would sit in the rocking chair and as she was sleeping I would have my phone or tablet and do research. I found this group on Facebook and it was all about parents with kids who have lung issues,” Faucheux

said. By communicating with

other parents who are going through similar circumstances, Faucheux has been able to bet-ter care for Kaydence, but she still needs further help from the medical community. The family plans to attend a confer-ence next month in Denver where the parents of children with rare lung diseases can interact with doctors who treat those disorders.

By attending the conference, Faucheux said she hopes to find out about different treat-ments that may prolong the need for a lung transplant.

“The doctors will tell you what treatment they use and what trials you may be able to get your child into,” she said.

In fact, Faucheux said her ultimate goal is to help find a cure over the next eight years that will eliminate the need for a lung transplant altogether.

“We really just pray they get some research going and they could find something where we could avoid a transplant. We don’t want that done,” she said. “Once you get a trans-plant, your immune system is horrible and you take anti-rejection medicine. I’ve had parents tell me that after the transplant their child has got-ten sicker.”

In order to get to Denver, Kaydence needs to take a flight, which is impossible without a portable oxygen concentrator that costs thousands of dollars and is too expensive for the family to purchase. Faucheux said she has been in contact with a medical supply compa-ny that has offered to purchase the machine and then rent it to them during the trip for $500, but even that is out or reach for the family.

Thus, Faucheux has turned to fundraisers to help raise money for the medical equip-ment necessary for the trip.

Faucheux has made t-shirts that she is selling through her Facebook page, but she is also asking for donations to be made to an account set up in her daughter’s name.

Anyone who would like to assist in raising funds can do so by donating to the “Kaydence Lusk donation account” at any Capital One Bank branch.

Faucheux can also be con-tacted at (985) 634-3703.

Your Feet andChiropractic

Your feet have three crucial functions; they support your body; they help you move; and they help protect your bones and soft tissues from damaging shock stress.

3 COMMON FOOT PROBLEMS:

Pronation: Foot bones drop to a less stable position if the foot arches are too weak to keep them properly aligned. A.K.A. “Flat Feet.”

Plantar Fasciitis: A stress irritation to the elastic tissues running nearly the entire length of the foot.

Heel Spurs: Deposits of calcium on the heel bone.

These foot conditions, if left untreated, may lead to more serious problems in the knees, hips and lower back. Custom-made orthotics along with chiropractic adjustments may help reduce your pain and suffering by creating more stability in your feet.

“Annual compensation for the parish president may be adjusted by ordinance so there is no need to amend the char-ter at all,” he said.

In addition, Vial warned against making any changes to the charter without ensuring those changes are actually nec-essary.

“From a lawyer’s perspec-tive, it really isn’t a good idea to amend the charter just like it isn’t a good idea to amend

the state and federal constitu-tion because it gets out of hand,” he said.

Two other proposed charter amendments would have allowed the Parish Council to make changes to the budget after it has passed as well as disallow interim council mem-bers from running for the seat they are temporarily holding.

Those also failed to garner enough support at Monday’s meeting.

However, Hogan said if the bad odor persists he will con-tinue to work on a long-term solution.

Hogan has been working to cover the ditch for more than a year and was successful in hav-ing money set aside for the project in this year’s budget.

Since that time he has been in conflict with Parish President V.J. St. Pierre’s administration, who says the estimated cost to cover the ditch was too low and there are not enough funds to go through with construction.

Stay informed of flood insurance changes

with public meetingsSt. Charles Parish residents need to stay informed of

the changes in flood insurance laws. Only last year, after changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) included in the Biggert-Waters Act threatened to raise property insurance rates to as high as $30,000 a year for some homeowners, the parish was thrown into tur-moil.

With home sales drying up overnight, especially in the Bayou Gauche and Des Allemands areas, and talk of impending foreclosures, bankruptcies and an ensuing ripple effect throughout the St. Charles Parish economy and other coastal communities nationwide, Congress stepped in and passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (HFIAA).

HFIAA appears to be a great help to many of the par-ish’s property owners. However, the implications of the law are not as clear for commercial property owners and those who have second homes. Also, the average flood insurance rate for those most at risk are still anticipated to rise from a few hundred dollars a year to a few thou-sand dollars a year.

To help property owners in the parish better under-stand the current status of flood insurance premiums and how to best manage their policies in the future, the St. Charles Parish government will host a number of community meetings in the coming weeks to educate the public at large.

The meetings are set for 6 p.m. July 15 at the East Regional Library, 160 W. Campus Drive in Destrehan; 6 p.m. July 17 at Cypress Lakes Country Club, 10 Villere Drive in Destrehan; 6 p.m. July 29 at the West Regional Library, 105 Lakewood Drive in Luling; and 6 p.m. July 31 at the Bayou Gauche Fire Station, 410 First Street in Bayou Gauche.

In addition, all mailing addresses within St. Charles Parish will soon be receiving a letter and flier from Parish President V.J. St. Pierre and the Parish Council regarding the need for flood insurance following all of changes.

In the meantime, St. Charles Parish officials are encouraging all residents who do not have a current flood insurance policy to get covered in order to protect the value of their homes now and in the future.

Testing the Tea: Maness campaign fully steeped in Senate race

While his cam-paign for the U.S. Senate has so far been defined by money and endorsements from national tea party groups, retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness of Mandeville could soon have the backing of the Family Research Council’s Action PAC, or political action committee.

According to the Maness campaign, cash is likely attached, although how much is unknown. A spokesperson said a public announcement with more details can be expected in the coming weeks.

Based in D.C. and run by former state Rep. Tony Perkins, FRC is among the highest pro-file faith-based lobbies in the country. The endorsement could lead to an increase in donations from the religious right, not to mention extra foot soldiers.

If nothing else, it will prompt mainline Republicans to ask why FRC chose Maness over Congressman Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge. Even though polling shows Cassidy with a stronger chance of toppling incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu, factions on the far right have been harping for months about Cassidy not being conservative enough.

It also will pile more grief atop party diehards who are already worried about Maness’ ability to soften Cassidy’s field position.

Maness already has collected more than $1.2 million in dona-tions, due in large part to earlier endorsements from the Tea Party Leadership Fund and Tea Party Express. This month he launched a new set of statewide radio ads featuring former Alaska governor and vice presi-dential candidate Sarah Palin.

With one major U.S. Senate upset from tea party forces in Texas, a narrow defeat in Mississippi and Louisiana in the middle, the question now becomes whether Maness can create sparks in his own bid. With small

but climbing poll numbers, he has gone from a political side-show to a factor that can no longer be ignored.

Politicos, however, agree he cannot win without a political miracle or a serious blunder by Cassidy. But he can continue to inflict damage on the GOP frontrunner.

“It has been a huge pain to worry more about Maness than Mary lately,” said a source con-nected closely to the Cassidy campaign. “He’s turned into a nuisance candidate, like a fly you can’t swat.”

National trends not likely to be duplicated “I knew I would probably get

a lot of tea party support because of my constitutional positions, but I wasn’t expecting the back-ing of these national groups,” said Rob Maness, the grandson of a farmer and janitor and son of another Air Force man.

He has five children, three of which are in the armed forces and one, the youngest at age nine, with special needs.

But Maness’ personal back-ground has been overshadowed by his own tea party leanings. His new “Contract With Louisiana” focuses on “liberty, prosperity and certainty.” He wants to “clean up the D.C. swamp” and protect individual freedoms.

He drives an F-150 and owns several different guns, which he can rattle off with ease. He recently stared down Donald

Trump — in a private disagree-ment over whether he should drop out to help Congressman Bill Cassidy, as reported by LaPolitics earlier this month.

“My guys have seen the colo-nel come out,” he said in an interview Monday. “I can get kind of grisly.”

While all of this might fit the tea party archetype, Maness’ campaign is a far cry from the models that have been success-ful in other states. He’s not an elected official, he isn’t running in a closed primary and there are two very strong lead candi-dates in the race.

Granted, Maness has received donations from the Senate Conservatives Fund like tea partiers in other states. But crit-ics wonder if the fund can con-tinue to raise money after the recent loss in Mississippi by tea party favorite Chris McDaniel, the state senator who fell short by some 6,000 votes of taking out Sen. Thad Cochran.

Maness, political observers argue, is a product of the times, meaning any other candidate who would have framed himself early on as the tea party flag bearer could have landed the same support. Maybe even state Rep. Paul Hollis, a fellow Republican who was too late to the field.

“All Maness is doing is mak-ing it harder for Cassidy to win in the primary,” said a longtime consultant. “He can only get to where he needs to be by attack-ing Cassidy and that’s knocking votes off of Cassidy. But the rub is we don’t know where those votes are going.”

They could be going to the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Mary Landrieu, who needs all the help she can get. In particu-lar, pollsters are watching to see if Cassidy is losing support among Republican women due to Maness’ email bombs, which

haven’t caught the attention of the mainstream media yet. The attacks have not targeted GOP women in particular, but they represent a swing group of great interest to the number-crunch-ers.

“Landrieu only has about 3 percent support from Republican women and she needs a lot more. She’s used to running better than that,” said a pollster. “This could get a lot worse if Maness is able to pick up another million or so and go on TV. He’s the unknown factor in this race.”

On the ground, Maness has taken some hits. The rank-and-file tea party groups in Louisiana have so far stayed quiet and the St. Tammany Republican Parish Executive Committee, on which Maness has a seat, has voted to endorse Cassidy. St. Tammany is also home turf for Hollis.

As Maness continues to hack away at Cassidy’s potential votes — not enough to win, perhaps, but enough to get second looks — the congressman’s supporters are wondering how long it will take for Republican surrogates to fire back at him.

For Cassidy, it’s an easy call. After all, a hard and fast rule of going negative dictates that you should never attack someone who’s behind you in the polls. Cassidy, though, is surely look-ing over his shoulder and won-dering what the grisly colonel will do next.

They said it“It means all politics is local. It

reminds all of us that we’re not taking our own districts for granted.”

Bobby Jindal bragged before and during the 2014 Regular Session about how (after cutting them by $800 mil-lion) he had increased funding for the state colleges and universi-ties over the current fiscal year for the fis-cal year that begins on July 1.

Even before Jindal signed House Bill No. 1 (State Operating Budget) UNO

announced that it will be making mid-year budget cuts in the next few months.

The ink of Jindal’s signature on HB1 has not dried, but Wednesday we learned that three

more colleges (Southern University-Baton Rouge; Southern Law School and Southern University-

Shreveport) will be forced to make mid-year budget cuts in the upcoming fiscal year.

One of the ways Jindal claimed that he had increased funding for the colleges was that he would allow them keep the additional revenues from increasing tuition by 10% in the upcoming school year. What he didn’t say was that the ability to raise tuition was con-tingent upon the colleges meeting certain standards.

In the case of the Southern

University System, three insti-tutions failed to reach the required standards to be able to increase tuition. That means those three campuses will face a shortfall of revenue to fund their budgets.

These four institutions of Higher Education are merely the first to experience mid-year budget cuts and the new fiscal year doesn’t start for another four days.

Because funding for all Higher Education is from rev-

enues from the private provid-ers now running the LSU Hospitals, all of the colleges face mid-year cuts unless the feds approve of Jindal’s financ-ing scam for the hospitals. The first scam was rejected a few months ago.

Once again, Jindal’s rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. However, this time, it will cause serious damage done to Higher Education.

Alcoholism takes away peace

Jindal’s rhetoric causes damage

How many of us at one time or another have had one too many to drink? Perhaps it happened accidentally in our youth. We saw the older kids or adults drinking and since we were told we were too young to drink, we were even more tempted to find out what the “poisoned fruit” was all about. We might have sneaked a cou-ple drinks at a wedding recep-tion when no one was really paying attention or perhaps we raided the fridge or bar at home when no one was look-ing. After three or four or more, (who’s counting), we either slip into a slumber and wake up with a bad headache, or we find our way to the por-celain throne, vomit, and still have a terrible hangover. How we responded to this experi-

ment had serious consequences, either good or bad, for the rest of our lives. Even if our foray into the world of alcohol didn’t occur until later in life, what we learned from getting drunk and how we put that

information to work in our lives, affected our future in ways that we can’t always mea-sure.

For those who learned to drink in moderation, who know when to stop, and who never became addicted or hurt themselves or others by drinking, they only need to look at those who are alcohol-ics and the losses they’ve suf-fered, in order to know the blessings they’ve received by not over-indulging and they should proclaim, “There but for the grace of God, go I.” For

they have not known the loss-es caused by uncontrolled drinking, such as the loss of a job, of a spouse or family, of wealth, of good health, of con-solation, of friendships, of freedom and other valuable treasures in life.

If we find ourselves starting to slip a little from being just a casual drinker, to someone who is experiencing more than an occasional “morning after” regret, then we should seek help immediately. It could be something as simple as having someone with us monitor our behavior and remind us when it’s time to stop. Some people rely on their “designated driver” for this. However, when we ask someone to do this and we fail to take their advice, then we definitely have a drinking problem. Having a designated driver on a regular basis for the purpose of abusing alco-

hol, also is a sign that we are on a train going downhill into a dead end.

We should be aware of other telltale signs that we need to change our drinking habits, such as having to take off of work because of hangovers, showing up late for meetings because we had to have just one more drink before leaving the bar, physically abusing children or our spouse while inebriated, taking money from our pay to spend at the bar instead of paying bills or buying food, recognizing that old friends no longer want to go out with us because we become too obnoxious when we drink, being arrested for driving under the influence or getting in a wreck while drunk. These and many other signs sound the trumpet for concern and change.

So what can we do if we find ourselves in this situation? We

can start by removing all alco-hol from our homes. Then we can enlist the support of fam-ily and friends. If they are aware of the problem and they probably are, they can help by not tempting us by having alcohol at get-togethers or at least by offering us non-alco-holic beverages as an alterna-tive. We can attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meet-ing. The only requirement is that we have a desire to stop drinking. It’s a sign that we have recognized we have a problem, that we need help, and that we request the ulti-mate power to help us. And speaking of the ultimate power, we can turn to prayer, for in Ephesians 5:18, 20 we read, “And do not get drunk on wine, …, but be filled with the Spirit, giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.”

Sam Grover, staff attorney with FFRF, disagrees.

“We have not yet reviewed the policy as a legal staff, but my off the cuff impression is that as long as they are con-tinuing this practice of pray-ing before meetings they are still in violation of the consti-tution,” he said.

Grover said by instituting prayer and invoking religion, the School Board is forcing one religion, the Christian religion, to be recognized above all others, which is in violation of the constitution.

“Because religion is a choice best left to the private sphere, each individual family has the constitutional right to bring up their children in the reli-gion or non-religion of their choice. When governmental entities get entangled in that, they violate that trust,” he said.

However, Robichaux called into question the provenance of the FFRF.

“It’s not local people, it is people outside of our district and our state that have a prob-lem that doesn’t pertain to them,” he said.

Despite being located in Wisconsin, Grover said FFRF was actually contacted by a resident from St. Charles Parish who objected to reli-gious aspects of the School Board’s meetings.

Despite there only being one person in the community raising an objection to the School Board’s policies regarding religion, Grover said the actions they are tak-ing will undoubtedly benefit others who are hesitant to speak up.

“When you have a reli-giously invasive community, it can be very challenging for a minority to speak up so that is the service we provide at FFRF,” he said.

Although they may be in disagreement with the new policy regarding the pre-meeting prayer, Grover said he feels St. Charles Parish Public Schools is handling the issue well.

“The St. Charles Parish School Board has been pretty reasonable. It is obvious to us they are trying to make this right,” he said. “We don’t think they are there yet, but it’s obvi-ous they care about making their community inviting for people of all religious and non-religious beliefs.”

However, Grover said there is still a possibility for a law-suit should FFRF deem the continued prayer to be in vio-lation of citizen’s rights.

“The public School Board has a duty to uphold the con-stitution, and the best way to do that is to avoid a pre-meet-ing prayer,” he said.

Council meeting, it was clear the council erred in their nomination procedure because they did not identify the item they were voting on until the vote had already been taken.

“The interim appointment of a nominee to the New Orleans Aviation Board was not identified until after the motion to deviate was passed unanimously. The failure of the council to identify the res-olution with any specificity was a violation of the open meetings law,” Morel said.

Due to the judgment, the Parish Council was ordered to rescind Smith’s nomination. However, the New Orleans

City Council already approved Smith’s appointment, which means he will remain a mem-ber of the Aviation Board.

The council was also ordered to pay Clulee’s legal fees.

Clulee had asked that a $100 fine be levied against each council member, but Morel said that the council did not intentionally violate the open meetings law and she denied the issuance of any fines.

The action comes months after the announcement of a $826 million construction plan for a new terminal at Louis Armstrong International Airport.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The case involved a group from New Orleans who decid-ed to come out and ‘rip’ or rob two local drug dealers,” St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said. “Another example of how involvement in the drug trade can get you killed.”

Shortly after the shooting occurred, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office made seven arrests in connection with the murder.

The alleged gunman, Joseph John Fountain, 19, of 6001 Downman Road in New Orleans, was taken into custo-dy by U.S. Marshals and charged with first-degree mur-der. Three other people from New Orleans, including 19-year-old Jonah Wetwiski, 21-year-old Anthony Rotondi

and a 16-year-old boy, were all apprehended a day after the shooting and charged with principal to first-degree mur-der.

Three other people arrested during an investigation into the murder were charged with the attempted distribution of drugs. They are: David Hunter Jr., 17, of St. Rose, Pedro Furlan Jr., 19, of Harvey and Courtney Ward, an 18-year-old from Metairie.

Bailey’s death was the first murder in St. Charles Parish this year. Champagne praised his deputies and detectives for their quick work in rounding up the suspects.

“Thanks to all of our depu-ties and detectives who worked diligently to close this case without sleep,” Champagne said. “Hopefully this will be the only homicide this year.”

on-one activities,” Schonberg said. “Team leaders and care partners receive training in how to engage and lead resi-dents in group and individual activities so that there is always someone with the skills needed to engage the residents in personally mean-ingful activities of their choice.”

All employees at Ashton Manor are required to attend an eight-hour training course within the first 30 days of their hire to ensure they can use appropriate techniques to care for residents with dementia. During the first 12 months of the dementia-training program, Ashton Manor’s management team received an additional 1,100 combined hours of training.

“Every employee dedicated him or herself to learning about Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and attended hours of training so they

could implement their new knowledge,” Schonberg said. “They are passionate about providing outstanding care to our Alzheimer’s and demen-tia care residents, and I feel like receiving this award is a reflection of my team’s hard work and dedication.”

The Dementia Care Specialists’ Distinguished Provider Award is given to memory care communities that excel in resident care, specifically at helping their residents enjoy the greatest level of function, safety and quality of life.

Dementia Care Specialists President and Founder Kim Warchol presented the award, calling it a seal of approval from industry leaders.

More than five million Americans are living with dementia, and it’s projected that almost 15 million will be affected by 2050.

Hahnville, Destrehan place 4on All-State track & field team

PAGE 1B

WEEK OFJULY 10 - 16, 2014

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Four track and field stars from St. Charles Parish were recently named to the Class 5A All-State team.

Hahnville led the charge with three selec-tions, including junior hurdler Brandon Singleton, senior long distance runner Bryce Robinson and senior triple jumper Breanne Bias. Destrehan’s lone selection was junior sprinter Kirk Merritt.

Merritt capped an impressive season by coming in second in the 100-meter dash in the State Outdoor Championships. He fin-ished the race in a blazing time of 10.68 sec-onds. Merritt also won the Region III-5A championship and the District 7-5A champi-onship in the 100-meter dash with times of 10.64 and 10.98, respectively.

At the Thibodaux Relays, Merritt cruised past the competition to take the top spot on the podium.

Singleton also took home plenty of medals during the 2014 season, winning the state championship in the 300-meter hurdles and finishing second in the state in the 110-meter hurdles.

Singleton claimed the Region III-5A cham-pionship in both the 110-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles with times of 14.14 and 38.68, respectively. He also took home first place in both events in the District 7-5A Championships.

At the Mobile Challenge of Champions, which consisted of the top track stars from around the country, Singleton won the 110-meter hurdles while finishing second in the 300-meter hurdles.

Other top finishes by Singleton included wins in the Chalmette Owl Town Relays, the Super Bowl Track & Field Classic, the Westgate High School Tiger Relays, the Baton Rouge Physical Therapy Invite and the Rummel Ronnie Doyle Classic.

Robinson, who landed on the All-State squad for the second year in a row, excelled in both the 3,200-meter run and the 1,600-meter run during the season. He won the Chalmette Owl Town Relays in the 3,200 and finished first in the 1,600-meter run at the Westgate High School Tiger Relays. Against some of the top competition from around the country, Robinson finished 10th at the Mobile Challenge of Champions in the two-mile run.

Robinson got better as the season pro-gressed, winning the District 7-5A champion-ship in both the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run with times of 4:36.80 and 9:58.94, respectively.

He came in second in both events during the Region III-5A Championships and fin-ished third with a time of 9:30.93 in the 3,200-meter run at the State Outdoor Championships.

Bias, the lone female selection to the All-State squad from St. Charles Parish, began the season with a win in the triple jump at the Chalmette Owl Town Relays. She also cap-tured the top spot in the Westgate High School Tiger Relays and placed sixth in the Mobile Challenge of Champions.

After winning the Baton Rouge Physical Therapy Invite with a triple jump distance of 37-2.75, Bias captured the District 7-5A championship.

She went on to place third in the Region III-5A Championships and came in fourth at the State Outdoor Championships.

Destrehan’s Kirk Merritt was named All-State after finishing second in the 100-meter dash at the State Outdoor Championships.

(Left) All-State selection Bryce Robinson excelled in both the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run during the season. (Right) Breanne Bias, the lone female All-State selection from St. Charles Parish, won the District 7-5A championship in the triple jump.

All-State selection Brandon Singleton (center) picked up several impressive wins throughout the season, including a first place finish at the Mobile Challenge of Champions and a state championship in the 300-meter hurdles.

Hahnville-based Otto Candies has locked up a spot in the American Legion state tour-nament after beating Retif Oil, Deanie’s Seafood and Peake BMW in the Southeast Regional Tournament.

Otto Candies 3 Retif Oil 0Otto Candies relied on an

exceptional pitching perfor-mance by ace Tyler Lamers to shutout Jesuit-based Retif Oil 3-0 in the first game of the Southeast Regional.

Lamers allowed just one hit in the victory while striking out 13

batters.

Otto Candies took an early 1-0 lead when Garret Smith scored on an error in the first inning. With Lamers cruising from the mound and holding Retif Oil hitless for the first six innings, Otto Candies scored solo runs in the fourth and fifth innings for the 3-0 victory.

Otto Candies head coach David Baudry was impressed with Lamers’ performance.

“It was dominant,” he said. “He was able to throw all of his pitches for strikes. You kind of expect that from him because he pitched in the tougher games for us throughout his career.”

Otto Candies 7 Deanie’s Seafood 4Otto Candies fought back

from an early 2-0 deficit against Rummel-based Deanie’s Seafood, exploding for six runs in the fifth inning on their way to a 7-4 victory.

Chase Bagot keyed the six-run outburst by tripling in Dylan Keller. Drew Favre fol-lowed with a single to plate Bagot and tie the game at 2-2.

But Otto Candies wasn’t done yet.

Lamers gave his team the lead with a single to right, and Smith followed with a single to left to score Waylon LeBlanc, which put Otto Candies on top 4-2.

Later in the inning, Todd Porche extended the advantage with a two-RBI single.

Otto Candies final run of the game came in the seventh inning when Bradley Aucoin singled to center to score Logan

Billingsley.Lamers led Otto Candies

from the plate, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Porche was 2-for-5 with two RBIs, while Smith, Aucoin, Bagot and Favre each drove in runs in the victory.

Mark Abate picked up the win for Otto Candies.

Otto Candies 6Peake BMW 4After leading his team to a

victory from the stripe, Abate came through from the plate to give his squad a 6-4 victory over Brother Martin-based Peake BMW.

Abate went 3-for-4 in the game with three RBIs, including

a two-run triple to break a tie and give Otto Candies the vic-tory.

Hahnville’s Peyton Robert gave his team the first lead of the game in the first inning when he knocked an RBI single. In the third, Keller blasted a single of his own to put his squad on top 2-0.

In the sixth, Abate singled to center, scoring Robert and Bagot to extend the Otto Candies lead to 4-1.

Peake BMW stormed back in the seventh inning after a triple and balk brought in three runs to tie the game at 4-4.

That set the stage for Abate’s game-winning triple in the bot-tom of the frame.

Baudry was surprised that Abate put together such an impressive performance from the plate after pitching eight innings the day before.

“He threw a tremendous game against Rummel and came back the next day with two big hits that lifted us,” Baudry said.

LeBlanc picked up the win for Otto Candies after coming on in relief for the final two innings.

Baudry said his team’s success in the regional tournament has been because of the experience that comes with senior leader-ship.

“We are probably one of the more experienced teams in American Legion baseball in this tournament,” he said. “For Lamers, Keller and Porche, this is their third summer playing American Legion. We have also pitched extremely well and we are doing a good job of getting guys on base.

“We are playing with a lot of focus and are playing hard.”

Otto Candies advanced to the tournament championship and faced off against the winner of Refuel and Peake BMW on Wednesday.

The game occurred after the Herald-Guide’s press deadline, but visit www.heraldguide.com to find out if Otto Candies was able to win the tourney title.

Wallace Johnston, 91, is truly a child of a different era. He was orphaned at only 13 years old, dropped out of high school, par-ticipated in a work camp and joined the Air Force during World War II – all before the age of 20.

Johnston and his three brothers and five sisters became orphans when their parents died within six months of each other.

“My mother died from a rup-tured appendix and my dad had cirrhosis of the liver,” he said.

The circumstances of this mis-fortune would be acutely felt only two years later when he had to leave school and go to work for the first time. With few other options and a family that needed help, the then 15-year-old Johnston joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Mandeville.

It was in the CCC, a program borne out of the Great Depression meant to put those most needy to work, that Johnston made the leap from being a child to being man.

“We were doing a lot of trans-planting pine trees. We would pick them up in one area and transplant them to another area. Then we would go build some roads that needed to be built and fight fires. Sometimes there was a fire you’d have to fight with a flap or a 5-gallon can on your back,” he said.

Although undergoing back-breaking work before the age of 16, Johnston recalls the period of his life with understatement.

“It is something you have to get used to I guess,” he said.

At $30 a month, the pay was not bad for the time, but Johnston was only able to keep $8 a month. The rest went to help care for his fam-ily in New Orleans.

The living situation he experi-enced in the CCC was much like what he would experience later after joining the Air Force.

“Living in the barracks, taking a shower with 10 men, shaving with 15 men, eating in a mess hall,” he said.

At 16, Johnston’s one-year contract with the CCC was up, although he says that he would have kept on going if he had been able.

“You had to get out after one year and give someone else a chance,” he said.

Afterward Johnston had dreams of going to a trade school, but was unable to do so due to a lack of finances.

“I wanted to go to trade school, but I lost my parents and didn’t have any money. I couldn’t even afford street car fare. It was 7 cents each way and I couldn’t even afford that,” he said.

After a brief stint as a Pullman porter, Johnston landed as a laundry and dry

cleaning driver. “It didn’t come easy, we were working

for $7 a week,” he said. But with the USA’s entry into World War

II in 1941, Johnston knew it was only a matter of time before he was drafted.

Before his draft card came up he joined the Air Force on the advice of his brother-in-law.

“My brother-in-law went in before me. He was about eight years older than me and he told me to join the Air Force, that I’d like it. I was encouraged more or less to go into the Air Force and I said I’d go in with them,” he said.

Within days of signing up, Johnston found himself at Randolph Field outside of San Antonio, Texas. Although Johnston had been out of Louisiana on a few occasions he had never been away from home as long as he would be while in service of the country. From Texas he moved onto secondary training in Utah and then back to Texas where he was trained to drive a fuel tanker to refuel planes landing on air strips.

And then he found himself on a trans-

port boat headed for the island of New Guinea located just north of Australia.

This is where things went wrong for the first time. Late at night in enemy waters, the transport boat suddenly jerked every-one awake with a crash.

“We thought we were torpedoed. Everything started shaking and people said, ‘Oh what do we do! I can’t swim!

Where are we!’ So we drifted about half of the night. We didn’t have any lights because we were in enemy waters,” he said.

The boat had been accidentally struck by another Allied Forces ship. Luckily Johnston was not injured and the next morning the vessel was able to make it into a shipyard at the New Hebrides islands.

Although stopped short of their ultimate destination, Johnston and the others aboard would be at their New Guinea base within three weeks. At the time of his

4B St. Charles Herald-GUIDE • WEEK OF July 10 - 16, 2014

Inherit the Wind is a play about a courtroom drama that takes place in 1925. The main characters include a science teacher, Cates, two attorneys, and a pastor. This powerful read reflects the Scopes Monkey Trial of the 20s and brings up the once-controversial issue of teaching evolution in school.

Inherit the Wind takes place in a small town in Tennessee. The setting switches among a street, the jail, and a courtroom. Science teacher Cates decides that he wants to fight for his cause and continue to educate the schoolchildren about evolution. The party opposing him is full of religious leaders and even a pastor. The lawyer whom Cates hires to defend him attempts to impose equality in the courtroom between Cates and the religious fanatics of the town. The result of the trail is shocking, even with the knowledge of how the actual trial resolved.

I enjoyed Inherit the Wind, and I would recommend it to those who are interested in American History and historical fiction. This educational play gives an interesting perspective on the famous trial of the early twenties.

Haley Morgan is a graduating senior in the Gifted program at Hahnville High. She plans to attend Louisiana State University and major in Biological Engineering.

Editor’s note: Book reviews are published weekly during the sum-mer in agreement with Hahnville High School gifted English teacher Deborah Unger in conjunction with the Brown Foundation Service Learning Program.

What’s Happening deployment, Johnston said he’d never heard of the tropical rainfor-est covered island.

“I didn’t know anything about foreign countries. I knew some things about Paris, France...that is about all I knew. I didn’t know anything about any place else. I didn’t think I end up in New Guinea,” he said.

The Louisiana boy now found himself halfway around the world assisting in the Pacific Theatre war effort. For he and his fellow soldiers, Johnston said it was just an experience he had to endure.

“Not only me, but everyone I was with in the Air Force was the same way. They said we had to do it so let’s go ahead and do it. That is the attitude they had,” he said.

For 11 months Johnston helped with transport operations, keep-ing airplanes fueled and oiled. He did not see time in war zones.

“I was nowhere near the action, but you could hear it in the dis-tance...the cannons going off and the different artillery, but I was never close,” Johnston said.

Johnston knows how lucky he was to be separated from the action.

“Some G.I.s went through hell. Dog faces and G.I.s of that sort went through hell watching their buddy die beside them and they couldn’t do a damn thing for them. They couldn’t save them,” he said.

However, Johnston soon had his own battles to fight. After a bad reaction to an anti-malaria drug he became ill.

“I got yellow jaundice. My whole body turned yellow. That is just something you go through,” he said.

Then he contracted a skin disease that signaled the end of his career as a soldier.

“I had a skin disease from my head down to my feet. ‘Jungle Rot’ was the nickname of it. Some fellas got it, some fellas didn’t get it. They say it came from the water you swim in at the bay,” he said. “The outfit I was in about five to six guys got it out of 200 men. I was one of them that caught it. Why me? I don’t know.”

Due to his medical condition, Johnston was transported back to the United States where he spent a year and half in a succession of hospitals. In 1944 he was discharged and went home to New Orleans and his old job as a laundry and dry cleaning driver where he spent the remainder of his career.

“I went back to laundry and dry cleaning. That’s all I knew. I got a route,” he said. “I had the experience, I knew the city and that was all I could think to do.”

In his early 60s Johnston retired to Montz where he lived for several years before his advanced age led him to become a resident at Luling Living Center.

For all he has been through, Johnston is a cheerful, thankful man who is easy with a laugh and eager to engage with others. For him, life keeps on being a surprise.

“I’m 91. I didn’t think I’d make it up to 91. I thought I’d make 75 at best. I have my bad times and sometimes I say ‘well time to go’ but the old man don’t want me yet,” he said.

We resist the enemy in the name of Jesus & the Devil has to � ee. � e name of Jesus makes the Devil tremble & � ee. � e peace of God is ours & the old Enemy is defeated. It hurts us when the devil attacks but our Lord delivers all, from His dirty tricks. Our Lord deserves all the Honor, the Praises & Glory forever. Amen.

Edna Matherne

"HOLY SPIRIT,you who solve all problems, who light all roads so that I can attain my goals. You who give the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things and to confirm once again that I wish to be with you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine." This prayer must be said for 3 consecutive days. After days the favor requested will be granted, even if it may appear difficult. This prayer must be published immediately after the favor is granted with out mentioning the favor.

2A St. Charles Herald-GUIDE • WEEK OF July 10 - 16, 2014

By Kyle BarnettReporter

The owner of a crab factory has vowed to rid the area of a stench that is apparently caused by drainage from his factory flowing into an open ditch.

The crab factory, located on Old Highway 90 in Des Allemands next to St. Gertrude The Great Catholic Church, belongs to Bobby DeJean and has served as a processing and crab boiling plant since 2009. A previous facility run by DeJean on the site only served as a crab picking plant until it burnt down in 2007.

DeJean said after the drain-age from his plant is diverted into St. Gertrude’s sewage sys-tem, the smell should go away.

“It is going to be taken care

of for sure,” he said. “I am working right now with the water board and the parish. As a matter of fact they are here right now. I got permission from the church and we will have everything rerouted.”

Some Des Allemands resi-dents said the stinky smell has plagued the area ever since DeJean rebuilt and expanded operations at his crab factory.

According to Rick and Teresa Johnson, who live behind the crab factory and right next to the ditch, the odor has resulted in some longtime residents emptying out of the neighborhood.

T. Johnson said that some days the smell is so bad that her family cannot even go out-side.

“It is horrible and smells just like that crab factory,” she said.

Public Works Director Sam

Scholle said the water in the ditch is septic and is a definite health issue that needs to be addressed.

Councilman Paul Hogan said he thinks DeJean is taking the right steps to remedy the situation.

“(DeJean) always has a little trickle coming out of there and that little trickle is what is cre-ating the bulk of this situation. He is going to connect a small little line to the church’s sewer system,” Hogan said.

Hogan said he does not know if the diverted pipe will fix the problem, but anything is worth trying.

“If they are willing to do that, I am willing to give it a shot. As long as the stink goes away (the residents) don’t care about how it happened,” he said.

“There had been three or four fights there; two of them going on at the same time as the shooting, and one just prior. The ladies bathroom was cov-ered with blood. There was blood in different locations from different fights that were going on,” Maj. Rodney Madere, who is now chief of investiga-tions for the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office, said during a court hearing. “So when we got there, there was some blood, but it was smeared all over the place. I mean, you couldn’t get a pattern out of anything.”

Madere said he attempted to speak to Oliver, but couldn’t due to his condition.

“I went to the hospital to see if I could speak to Kevin Oliver before he passed away. He was being worked on in surgery,” he said.

Within an hour of the shoot-ing, Oliver passed away from his wounds and the attempted murder became a homicide.

While Madere was at the hos-pital, other deputies on the scene located six witnesses–some who said they saw “Isadore” in a brawl with Oliver and others who said they saw “Isadore” pull a gun from his waistband and fire one shot into Oliver’s side before fleeing the establishment.

In fact, witness Shelita Collins’ was even able to iden-tify the weapon as a silver .25 caliber handgun.

Two hours after the shooting, as the eyewitnesses were speak-ing to deputies, a man wearing a blood-stained t-shirt and jeans appeared in the area look-ing for a set of keys he dropped in the club. This was Isadore Sutton, a 27-year-old St. Rose man.

Madere said Sutton was quickly apprehended and charged with first-degree mur-der.

“He had blood all over his shirt and everything, so they grabbed him knowing he was

Isadore and knowing that we were looking for a subject named Isadore,” he said.

Sutton did not dispute that he had been in the club that night, nor that he had been fighting with Oliver. However, he main-tained that he was not the one who had pulled the trigger.

The Sheriff ’s Office also secured a search warrant for Sutton’s car that was parked near Club Forest and found a loaded AK-47 with 30 rounds of ammo in the clip, but did not find a handgun

Later in a hearing on the murder, two of the witnesses to the crime did not appear.

According to a court filing by Sutton’s attorney, Greg Miller, who is now a state representa-tive, only one witness ever testi-fied that she had seen Sutton shoot Oliver.

“Only one witness against Mr. Sutton, Shelita Ann Collins, has ever testified that Mr. Sutton was the shooter, despite the fact that the shooting occurred in a crowded night club,” the filing stated.

In testimony at a preliminary hearing, Collins said she had in fact seen Sutton shoot Oliver.

“The fight had broke out and I seen Isadore and Kevin fight-ing. Isadore came out his pock-et with a gun,” she said.

Collins said the attack was provoked by Oliver’s interac-tion with another bar patron.

“He bumped Isadore, Isadore bumped him, and a fight had broke out,” she said.

However, Collins admitted that she had never met Oliver before and at that time she did not know Sutton by name although she had seen him around bars in Kenner, only learning his name after the inci-dent.

Following Collin’s testimony, further research into the inci-dent by Miller and other defense attorneys revealed that other witnesses in the club at the time of the shooting identified another man as the shooter.

According to Miller’s filing, Marcella Bailey, who originally

identified Sutton as the shooter, later said she had seen Sutton fighting in another area of the club at the time and had not seen him shoot Oliver. Her statement was backed up by the owner of Club Forest.

“Louis John, owner of Club Forest, has stated that Mr. Sutton was involved in a fight in another area of the bar from where the shooting occurred. This was corroborated by Marcella Bailey,” the filing stat-ed.

A witness later contacted by Sutton’s defense team, Destrehan resident Christopher Robinson, actually admitted that he was the one fighting with Oliver at the time of the shooting, not Sutton.

According to Miller, Robinson said that Brent Reynaud showed him a chrome .25 caliber pistol in Club Forest prior to the shooting and that a man named Rondell Jenkins admitted to shooting Oliver.

Madere admitted in testimo-ny that there were rumors that other people may have been involved in Oliver’s murder, but he maintained that Sutton was the prime suspect.

Sutton was eventually released from jail after his bond was lowered to $400,000 and his grandmother put up her home as collateral for his release.

On June 25, 1997, six months after the shooting occurred, the case against Sutton was dropped by the St. Charles Parish District Attorney’s Office. Sutton died of a heart attack shortly after.

Madere and the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office would not speak about the case when contacted by the St. Charles Herald-Guide citing a gag order. Miller did not return sev-eral phone calls regarding the case.

Those who may have infor-mation on the death of Kevin Oliver should contact the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office at (985) 783-1135 or contact Crimestoppers at (877) 903-STOP.

Marcel announces candidacy for judge

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Destrehan attorney Tim Marcel will again run for the Division E judgeship of the 29th Judicial District Court. The seat is currently held by Judge Michelle Morel, who defeated Marcel by 168 votes in a 2012 special election.

The election will take place on Nov. 4.

A graduate of LSU Law School, Marcel has more than 17 years of practice in state and federal courts across southeast Louisiana. He has served as president of the St. Charles Parish Bar Association and is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association Alcohol and Drug Abuse Committee.

“There isn’t a more impor-tant public office in our com-

munity than district court judge,” Marcel said. “The role of a judge is that of a public servant who is charged with applying the law to serve the people and the community as a whole. It is imperative that judges perform their duties in a manner which insures public trust in our legal system.”

Over the past 15 years, Marcel has been an active civic volunteer, having served on the boards of Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse, the Council on Aging Advisory Council, the Center for Family and Youth Services, and the United Way of St. Charles Parish. Additionally, he is a member of the Rotary Club of St. Charles Parish.

Marcel has also been a vol-unteer instructor for the St. Charles Parish Community Education Program for nearly

a decade, providing i n f o r m a -tion about wills and s u c c e s -sions to the public.

“I am r u n n i n g for judge because my legal experience combined with my involve-ment in community organiza-tions make me uniquely quali-fied to serve,” Marcel said. “As a strong believer in responsible family values, as demonstrated by my devotion to my family, I will put my experience to work to build a safer and better community for all.”

The last day for voters to register to vote in this election is Oct. 6. Early voting is sched-uled from Oct. 21-28.

Luling assisted living center only one in state to receive dementia care award

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Ashton Manor Assisted Living and Memory Care became the only such center in Louisiana to receive the Dementia Care Specialists’ Distinguished Provider Award.

Each team member at Luling’s Ashton Manor is spe-cially trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and the community’s individualized programs are designed to enable each resident to func-tion at the highest possible level.

“We believe that the best way to help people at every stage of the disease is to build abilities-based, person-cen-tered care around under-standing what someone’s life was like in order to make their life better,” David Schonberg, owner of Ashton Manor, said.

Schonberg said the memo-ry care director and activities director compile a list of interests and use this infor-mation to design an activity calendar that incorporates those interests into each resi-dent’s daily routine.

Some of the activities

offered include trivia, chess, cards with friends, porch talk, craft time, old movie night and a game where resi-dents find clues that lead them to hidden treasure. Some activities coincide with certain days of the week, such as on Friday the 13th when residents discuss supersti-tions.

“For residents with unique interests, the memory care director and activities direc-tor provide specialized care plans and activity kits that care partners can use to engage the resident in one-See ASHTON MANOR on page 6A

Faucheux said when Kaydence happened to grunt during one of the family’s trip to the doctor, she began to real-ize something more severe may be wrong with her baby girl.

“One time when I took her to the doctor she grunted and they said it sounded like respi-ratory distress,” she said.

It was apparent that Kaydence was having trouble breathing. After a battery of tests, doctors came across a startling discovery.

“Her white blood cell count was so high they were afraid she would get septic,” Faucheux said.

Still, they had not deter-mined the source of the prob-lem.

It was not until a nurse decided to check Kaydence’s oxygen saturation levels that they realized the severity of her condition.

“One of the nurses walked into her room, heard her grunt-ing and checked her oxygen and realized it was really low,” Faucheux said.

While healthy babies have oxygen saturation levels near 100 percent, Kaydence’s was only in the low 80s.

She was immediately hospi-talized until medical staff could

get a better idea of what afflic-tion she was suffering from.

Shockingly, Kaydence was eventually diagnosed with a rare lung disease called Surfactant Protein C Deficiency.

The disease is caused by a genetic mutation in one of the proteins that lubricates Kaydence’s lungs, which wasn’t allowing them to function properly.

Doctors delivered the news that Kaydence would have to undergo a double lung trans-plant by the age of 10.

The 5-month-old Kaydence was hospitalized for five weeks straight, the entire time receiv-ing oxygen while doctors tried to stabilize her condition.

When she was finally able to leave the hospital, Kaydence required fulltime care.

“She started IV steroid infu-sions three days a month. She did it for 19 months. They have some very bad side effects and they can’t do them forever due to the side effects,” Faucheux said.

Despite all of the problems Kaydence has had to face at such a young age, Faucheux said it could have been worse. If another protein in her lungs had the defect she likely would

have died within a few months. “A lot of these babies that

have these lung diseases pass away. If I wouldn’t have been watching and taking her to the doctor, she would not have sur-vived for long due to being deprived of oxygen,” Faucheux said.

Despite the constant medical care, Faucheux said Kaydence has had a great attitude through it all.

“She has been doing really well, but I guess this is all she knows,” she said.

Now the family is trying to develop a long-range plan to deal with Kaydence’s recovery.

Faucheux said she has received help for her daughter, and learned what to expect as she battles the disease, by join-ing an online community made up of parents whose young children suffer from lung ail-ments.

“When she was first diag-nosed and we were waiting for treatment I would just hold her and she would cry all the time. We would sit in the rocking chair and as she was sleeping I would have my phone or tablet and do research. I found this group on Facebook and it was all about parents with kids who have lung issues,” Faucheux

said. By communicating with

other parents who are going through similar circumstances, Faucheux has been able to bet-ter care for Kaydence, but she still needs further help from the medical community. The family plans to attend a confer-ence next month in Denver where the parents of children with rare lung diseases can interact with doctors who treat those disorders.

By attending the conference, Faucheux said she hopes to find out about different treat-ments that may prolong the need for a lung transplant.

“The doctors will tell you what treatment they use and what trials you may be able to get your child into,” she said.

In fact, Faucheux said her ultimate goal is to help find a cure over the next eight years that will eliminate the need for a lung transplant altogether.

“We really just pray they get some research going and they could find something where we could avoid a transplant. We don’t want that done,” she said. “Once you get a trans-plant, your immune system is horrible and you take anti-rejection medicine. I’ve had parents tell me that after the transplant their child has got-ten sicker.”

In order to get to Denver, Kaydence needs to take a flight, which is impossible without a portable oxygen concentrator that costs thousands of dollars and is too expensive for the family to purchase. Faucheux said she has been in contact with a medical supply compa-ny that has offered to purchase the machine and then rent it to them during the trip for $500, but even that is out or reach for the family.

Thus, Faucheux has turned to fundraisers to help raise money for the medical equip-ment necessary for the trip.

Faucheux has made t-shirts that she is selling through her Facebook page, but she is also asking for donations to be made to an account set up in her daughter’s name.

Anyone who would like to assist in raising funds can do so by donating to the “Kaydence Lusk donation account” at any Capital One Bank branch.

Faucheux can also be con-tacted at (985) 634-3703.

Your Feet andChiropractic

Your feet have three crucial functions; they support your body; they help you move; and they help protect your bones and soft tissues from damaging shock stress.

3 COMMON FOOT PROBLEMS:

Pronation: Foot bones drop to a less stable position if the foot arches are too weak to keep them properly aligned. A.K.A. “Flat Feet.”

Plantar Fasciitis: A stress irritation to the elastic tissues running nearly the entire length of the foot.

Heel Spurs: Deposits of calcium on the heel bone.

These foot conditions, if left untreated, may lead to more serious problems in the knees, hips and lower back. Custom-made orthotics along with chiropractic adjustments may help reduce your pain and suffering by creating more stability in your feet.

“Annual compensation for the parish president may be adjusted by ordinance so there is no need to amend the char-ter at all,” he said.

In addition, Vial warned against making any changes to the charter without ensuring those changes are actually nec-essary.

“From a lawyer’s perspec-tive, it really isn’t a good idea to amend the charter just like it isn’t a good idea to amend

the state and federal constitu-tion because it gets out of hand,” he said.

Two other proposed charter amendments would have allowed the Parish Council to make changes to the budget after it has passed as well as disallow interim council mem-bers from running for the seat they are temporarily holding.

Those also failed to garner enough support at Monday’s meeting.

However, Hogan said if the bad odor persists he will con-tinue to work on a long-term solution.

Hogan has been working to cover the ditch for more than a year and was successful in hav-ing money set aside for the project in this year’s budget.

Since that time he has been in conflict with Parish President V.J. St. Pierre’s administration, who says the estimated cost to cover the ditch was too low and there are not enough funds to go through with construction.

Stay informed of flood insurance changes

with public meetingsSt. Charles Parish residents need to stay informed of

the changes in flood insurance laws. Only last year, after changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) included in the Biggert-Waters Act threatened to raise property insurance rates to as high as $30,000 a year for some homeowners, the parish was thrown into tur-moil.

With home sales drying up overnight, especially in the Bayou Gauche and Des Allemands areas, and talk of impending foreclosures, bankruptcies and an ensuing ripple effect throughout the St. Charles Parish economy and other coastal communities nationwide, Congress stepped in and passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (HFIAA).

HFIAA appears to be a great help to many of the par-ish’s property owners. However, the implications of the law are not as clear for commercial property owners and those who have second homes. Also, the average flood insurance rate for those most at risk are still anticipated to rise from a few hundred dollars a year to a few thou-sand dollars a year.

To help property owners in the parish better under-stand the current status of flood insurance premiums and how to best manage their policies in the future, the St. Charles Parish government will host a number of community meetings in the coming weeks to educate the public at large.

The meetings are set for 6 p.m. July 15 at the East Regional Library, 160 W. Campus Drive in Destrehan; 6 p.m. July 17 at Cypress Lakes Country Club, 10 Villere Drive in Destrehan; 6 p.m. July 29 at the West Regional Library, 105 Lakewood Drive in Luling; and 6 p.m. July 31 at the Bayou Gauche Fire Station, 410 First Street in Bayou Gauche.

In addition, all mailing addresses within St. Charles Parish will soon be receiving a letter and flier from Parish President V.J. St. Pierre and the Parish Council regarding the need for flood insurance following all of changes.

In the meantime, St. Charles Parish officials are encouraging all residents who do not have a current flood insurance policy to get covered in order to protect the value of their homes now and in the future.

Testing the Tea: Maness campaign fully steeped in Senate race

While his cam-paign for the U.S. Senate has so far been defined by money and endorsements from national tea party groups, retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness of Mandeville could soon have the backing of the Family Research Council’s Action PAC, or political action committee.

According to the Maness campaign, cash is likely attached, although how much is unknown. A spokesperson said a public announcement with more details can be expected in the coming weeks.

Based in D.C. and run by former state Rep. Tony Perkins, FRC is among the highest pro-file faith-based lobbies in the country. The endorsement could lead to an increase in donations from the religious right, not to mention extra foot soldiers.

If nothing else, it will prompt mainline Republicans to ask why FRC chose Maness over Congressman Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge. Even though polling shows Cassidy with a stronger chance of toppling incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu, factions on the far right have been harping for months about Cassidy not being conservative enough.

It also will pile more grief atop party diehards who are already worried about Maness’ ability to soften Cassidy’s field position.

Maness already has collected more than $1.2 million in dona-tions, due in large part to earlier endorsements from the Tea Party Leadership Fund and Tea Party Express. This month he launched a new set of statewide radio ads featuring former Alaska governor and vice presi-dential candidate Sarah Palin.

With one major U.S. Senate upset from tea party forces in Texas, a narrow defeat in Mississippi and Louisiana in the middle, the question now becomes whether Maness can create sparks in his own bid. With small

but climbing poll numbers, he has gone from a political side-show to a factor that can no longer be ignored.

Politicos, however, agree he cannot win without a political miracle or a serious blunder by Cassidy. But he can continue to inflict damage on the GOP frontrunner.

“It has been a huge pain to worry more about Maness than Mary lately,” said a source con-nected closely to the Cassidy campaign. “He’s turned into a nuisance candidate, like a fly you can’t swat.”

National trends not likely to be duplicated “I knew I would probably get

a lot of tea party support because of my constitutional positions, but I wasn’t expecting the back-ing of these national groups,” said Rob Maness, the grandson of a farmer and janitor and son of another Air Force man.

He has five children, three of which are in the armed forces and one, the youngest at age nine, with special needs.

But Maness’ personal back-ground has been overshadowed by his own tea party leanings. His new “Contract With Louisiana” focuses on “liberty, prosperity and certainty.” He wants to “clean up the D.C. swamp” and protect individual freedoms.

He drives an F-150 and owns several different guns, which he can rattle off with ease. He recently stared down Donald

Trump — in a private disagree-ment over whether he should drop out to help Congressman Bill Cassidy, as reported by LaPolitics earlier this month.

“My guys have seen the colo-nel come out,” he said in an interview Monday. “I can get kind of grisly.”

While all of this might fit the tea party archetype, Maness’ campaign is a far cry from the models that have been success-ful in other states. He’s not an elected official, he isn’t running in a closed primary and there are two very strong lead candi-dates in the race.

Granted, Maness has received donations from the Senate Conservatives Fund like tea partiers in other states. But crit-ics wonder if the fund can con-tinue to raise money after the recent loss in Mississippi by tea party favorite Chris McDaniel, the state senator who fell short by some 6,000 votes of taking out Sen. Thad Cochran.

Maness, political observers argue, is a product of the times, meaning any other candidate who would have framed himself early on as the tea party flag bearer could have landed the same support. Maybe even state Rep. Paul Hollis, a fellow Republican who was too late to the field.

“All Maness is doing is mak-ing it harder for Cassidy to win in the primary,” said a longtime consultant. “He can only get to where he needs to be by attack-ing Cassidy and that’s knocking votes off of Cassidy. But the rub is we don’t know where those votes are going.”

They could be going to the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Mary Landrieu, who needs all the help she can get. In particu-lar, pollsters are watching to see if Cassidy is losing support among Republican women due to Maness’ email bombs, which

haven’t caught the attention of the mainstream media yet. The attacks have not targeted GOP women in particular, but they represent a swing group of great interest to the number-crunch-ers.

“Landrieu only has about 3 percent support from Republican women and she needs a lot more. She’s used to running better than that,” said a pollster. “This could get a lot worse if Maness is able to pick up another million or so and go on TV. He’s the unknown factor in this race.”

On the ground, Maness has taken some hits. The rank-and-file tea party groups in Louisiana have so far stayed quiet and the St. Tammany Republican Parish Executive Committee, on which Maness has a seat, has voted to endorse Cassidy. St. Tammany is also home turf for Hollis.

As Maness continues to hack away at Cassidy’s potential votes — not enough to win, perhaps, but enough to get second looks — the congressman’s supporters are wondering how long it will take for Republican surrogates to fire back at him.

For Cassidy, it’s an easy call. After all, a hard and fast rule of going negative dictates that you should never attack someone who’s behind you in the polls. Cassidy, though, is surely look-ing over his shoulder and won-dering what the grisly colonel will do next.

They said it“It means all politics is local. It

reminds all of us that we’re not taking our own districts for granted.”

Bobby Jindal bragged before and during the 2014 Regular Session about how (after cutting them by $800 mil-lion) he had increased funding for the state colleges and universi-ties over the current fiscal year for the fis-cal year that begins on July 1.

Even before Jindal signed House Bill No. 1 (State Operating Budget) UNO

announced that it will be making mid-year budget cuts in the next few months.

The ink of Jindal’s signature on HB1 has not dried, but Wednesday we learned that three

more colleges (Southern University-Baton Rouge; Southern Law School and Southern University-

Shreveport) will be forced to make mid-year budget cuts in the upcoming fiscal year.

One of the ways Jindal claimed that he had increased funding for the colleges was that he would allow them keep the additional revenues from increasing tuition by 10% in the upcoming school year. What he didn’t say was that the ability to raise tuition was con-tingent upon the colleges meeting certain standards.

In the case of the Southern

University System, three insti-tutions failed to reach the required standards to be able to increase tuition. That means those three campuses will face a shortfall of revenue to fund their budgets.

These four institutions of Higher Education are merely the first to experience mid-year budget cuts and the new fiscal year doesn’t start for another four days.

Because funding for all Higher Education is from rev-

enues from the private provid-ers now running the LSU Hospitals, all of the colleges face mid-year cuts unless the feds approve of Jindal’s financ-ing scam for the hospitals. The first scam was rejected a few months ago.

Once again, Jindal’s rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. However, this time, it will cause serious damage done to Higher Education.

Alcoholism takes away peace

Jindal’s rhetoric causes damage

How many of us at one time or another have had one too many to drink? Perhaps it happened accidentally in our youth. We saw the older kids or adults drinking and since we were told we were too young to drink, we were even more tempted to find out what the “poisoned fruit” was all about. We might have sneaked a cou-ple drinks at a wedding recep-tion when no one was really paying attention or perhaps we raided the fridge or bar at home when no one was look-ing. After three or four or more, (who’s counting), we either slip into a slumber and wake up with a bad headache, or we find our way to the por-celain throne, vomit, and still have a terrible hangover. How we responded to this experi-

ment had serious consequences, either good or bad, for the rest of our lives. Even if our foray into the world of alcohol didn’t occur until later in life, what we learned from getting drunk and how we put that

information to work in our lives, affected our future in ways that we can’t always mea-sure.

For those who learned to drink in moderation, who know when to stop, and who never became addicted or hurt themselves or others by drinking, they only need to look at those who are alcohol-ics and the losses they’ve suf-fered, in order to know the blessings they’ve received by not over-indulging and they should proclaim, “There but for the grace of God, go I.” For

they have not known the loss-es caused by uncontrolled drinking, such as the loss of a job, of a spouse or family, of wealth, of good health, of con-solation, of friendships, of freedom and other valuable treasures in life.

If we find ourselves starting to slip a little from being just a casual drinker, to someone who is experiencing more than an occasional “morning after” regret, then we should seek help immediately. It could be something as simple as having someone with us monitor our behavior and remind us when it’s time to stop. Some people rely on their “designated driver” for this. However, when we ask someone to do this and we fail to take their advice, then we definitely have a drinking problem. Having a designated driver on a regular basis for the purpose of abusing alco-

hol, also is a sign that we are on a train going downhill into a dead end.

We should be aware of other telltale signs that we need to change our drinking habits, such as having to take off of work because of hangovers, showing up late for meetings because we had to have just one more drink before leaving the bar, physically abusing children or our spouse while inebriated, taking money from our pay to spend at the bar instead of paying bills or buying food, recognizing that old friends no longer want to go out with us because we become too obnoxious when we drink, being arrested for driving under the influence or getting in a wreck while drunk. These and many other signs sound the trumpet for concern and change.

So what can we do if we find ourselves in this situation? We

can start by removing all alco-hol from our homes. Then we can enlist the support of fam-ily and friends. If they are aware of the problem and they probably are, they can help by not tempting us by having alcohol at get-togethers or at least by offering us non-alco-holic beverages as an alterna-tive. We can attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meet-ing. The only requirement is that we have a desire to stop drinking. It’s a sign that we have recognized we have a problem, that we need help, and that we request the ulti-mate power to help us. And speaking of the ultimate power, we can turn to prayer, for in Ephesians 5:18, 20 we read, “And do not get drunk on wine, …, but be filled with the Spirit, giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.”

Sam Grover, staff attorney with FFRF, disagrees.

“We have not yet reviewed the policy as a legal staff, but my off the cuff impression is that as long as they are con-tinuing this practice of pray-ing before meetings they are still in violation of the consti-tution,” he said.

Grover said by instituting prayer and invoking religion, the School Board is forcing one religion, the Christian religion, to be recognized above all others, which is in violation of the constitution.

“Because religion is a choice best left to the private sphere, each individual family has the constitutional right to bring up their children in the reli-gion or non-religion of their choice. When governmental entities get entangled in that, they violate that trust,” he said.

However, Robichaux called into question the provenance of the FFRF.

“It’s not local people, it is people outside of our district and our state that have a prob-lem that doesn’t pertain to them,” he said.

Despite being located in Wisconsin, Grover said FFRF was actually contacted by a resident from St. Charles Parish who objected to reli-gious aspects of the School Board’s meetings.

Despite there only being one person in the community raising an objection to the School Board’s policies regarding religion, Grover said the actions they are tak-ing will undoubtedly benefit others who are hesitant to speak up.

“When you have a reli-giously invasive community, it can be very challenging for a minority to speak up so that is the service we provide at FFRF,” he said.

Although they may be in disagreement with the new policy regarding the pre-meeting prayer, Grover said he feels St. Charles Parish Public Schools is handling the issue well.

“The St. Charles Parish School Board has been pretty reasonable. It is obvious to us they are trying to make this right,” he said. “We don’t think they are there yet, but it’s obvi-ous they care about making their community inviting for people of all religious and non-religious beliefs.”

However, Grover said there is still a possibility for a law-suit should FFRF deem the continued prayer to be in vio-lation of citizen’s rights.

“The public School Board has a duty to uphold the con-stitution, and the best way to do that is to avoid a pre-meet-ing prayer,” he said.

Council meeting, it was clear the council erred in their nomination procedure because they did not identify the item they were voting on until the vote had already been taken.

“The interim appointment of a nominee to the New Orleans Aviation Board was not identified until after the motion to deviate was passed unanimously. The failure of the council to identify the res-olution with any specificity was a violation of the open meetings law,” Morel said.

Due to the judgment, the Parish Council was ordered to rescind Smith’s nomination. However, the New Orleans

City Council already approved Smith’s appointment, which means he will remain a mem-ber of the Aviation Board.

The council was also ordered to pay Clulee’s legal fees.

Clulee had asked that a $100 fine be levied against each council member, but Morel said that the council did not intentionally violate the open meetings law and she denied the issuance of any fines.

The action comes months after the announcement of a $826 million construction plan for a new terminal at Louis Armstrong International Airport.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The case involved a group from New Orleans who decid-ed to come out and ‘rip’ or rob two local drug dealers,” St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said. “Another example of how involvement in the drug trade can get you killed.”

Shortly after the shooting occurred, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff ’s Office made seven arrests in connection with the murder.

The alleged gunman, Joseph John Fountain, 19, of 6001 Downman Road in New Orleans, was taken into custo-dy by U.S. Marshals and charged with first-degree mur-der. Three other people from New Orleans, including 19-year-old Jonah Wetwiski, 21-year-old Anthony Rotondi

and a 16-year-old boy, were all apprehended a day after the shooting and charged with principal to first-degree mur-der.

Three other people arrested during an investigation into the murder were charged with the attempted distribution of drugs. They are: David Hunter Jr., 17, of St. Rose, Pedro Furlan Jr., 19, of Harvey and Courtney Ward, an 18-year-old from Metairie.

Bailey’s death was the first murder in St. Charles Parish this year. Champagne praised his deputies and detectives for their quick work in rounding up the suspects.

“Thanks to all of our depu-ties and detectives who worked diligently to close this case without sleep,” Champagne said. “Hopefully this will be the only homicide this year.”

on-one activities,” Schonberg said. “Team leaders and care partners receive training in how to engage and lead resi-dents in group and individual activities so that there is always someone with the skills needed to engage the residents in personally mean-ingful activities of their choice.”

All employees at Ashton Manor are required to attend an eight-hour training course within the first 30 days of their hire to ensure they can use appropriate techniques to care for residents with dementia. During the first 12 months of the dementia-training program, Ashton Manor’s management team received an additional 1,100 combined hours of training.

“Every employee dedicated him or herself to learning about Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and attended hours of training so they

could implement their new knowledge,” Schonberg said. “They are passionate about providing outstanding care to our Alzheimer’s and demen-tia care residents, and I feel like receiving this award is a reflection of my team’s hard work and dedication.”

The Dementia Care Specialists’ Distinguished Provider Award is given to memory care communities that excel in resident care, specifically at helping their residents enjoy the greatest level of function, safety and quality of life.

Dementia Care Specialists President and Founder Kim Warchol presented the award, calling it a seal of approval from industry leaders.

More than five million Americans are living with dementia, and it’s projected that almost 15 million will be affected by 2050.

Hahnville, Destrehan place 4on All-State track & field team

PAGE 1B

WEEK OFJULY 10 - 16, 2014

By Jonathan MenardEditor & Publisher

[email protected]

Four track and field stars from St. Charles Parish were recently named to the Class 5A All-State team.

Hahnville led the charge with three selec-tions, including junior hurdler Brandon Singleton, senior long distance runner Bryce Robinson and senior triple jumper Breanne Bias. Destrehan’s lone selection was junior sprinter Kirk Merritt.

Merritt capped an impressive season by coming in second in the 100-meter dash in the State Outdoor Championships. He fin-ished the race in a blazing time of 10.68 sec-onds. Merritt also won the Region III-5A championship and the District 7-5A champi-onship in the 100-meter dash with times of 10.64 and 10.98, respectively.

At the Thibodaux Relays, Merritt cruised past the competition to take the top spot on the podium.

Singleton also took home plenty of medals during the 2014 season, winning the state championship in the 300-meter hurdles and finishing second in the state in the 110-meter hurdles.

Singleton claimed the Region III-5A cham-pionship in both the 110-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles with times of 14.14 and 38.68, respectively. He also took home first place in both events in the District 7-5A Championships.

At the Mobile Challenge of Champions, which consisted of the top track stars from around the country, Singleton won the 110-meter hurdles while finishing second in the 300-meter hurdles.

Other top finishes by Singleton included wins in the Chalmette Owl Town Relays, the Super Bowl Track & Field Classic, the Westgate High School Tiger Relays, the Baton Rouge Physical Therapy Invite and the Rummel Ronnie Doyle Classic.

Robinson, who landed on the All-State squad for the second year in a row, excelled in both the 3,200-meter run and the 1,600-meter run during the season. He won the Chalmette Owl Town Relays in the 3,200 and finished first in the 1,600-meter run at the Westgate High School Tiger Relays. Against some of the top competition from around the country, Robinson finished 10th at the Mobile Challenge of Champions in the two-mile run.

Robinson got better as the season pro-gressed, winning the District 7-5A champion-ship in both the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run with times of 4:36.80 and 9:58.94, respectively.

He came in second in both events during the Region III-5A Championships and fin-ished third with a time of 9:30.93 in the 3,200-meter run at the State Outdoor Championships.

Bias, the lone female selection to the All-State squad from St. Charles Parish, began the season with a win in the triple jump at the Chalmette Owl Town Relays. She also cap-tured the top spot in the Westgate High School Tiger Relays and placed sixth in the Mobile Challenge of Champions.

After winning the Baton Rouge Physical Therapy Invite with a triple jump distance of 37-2.75, Bias captured the District 7-5A championship.

She went on to place third in the Region III-5A Championships and came in fourth at the State Outdoor Championships.

Destrehan’s Kirk Merritt was named All-State after finishing second in the 100-meter dash at the State Outdoor Championships.

(Left) All-State selection Bryce Robinson excelled in both the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run during the season. (Right) Breanne Bias, the lone female All-State selection from St. Charles Parish, won the District 7-5A championship in the triple jump.

All-State selection Brandon Singleton (center) picked up several impressive wins throughout the season, including a first place finish at the Mobile Challenge of Champions and a state championship in the 300-meter hurdles.

Hahnville-based Otto Candies has locked up a spot in the American Legion state tour-nament after beating Retif Oil, Deanie’s Seafood and Peake BMW in the Southeast Regional Tournament.

Otto Candies 3 Retif Oil 0Otto Candies relied on an

exceptional pitching perfor-mance by ace Tyler Lamers to shutout Jesuit-based Retif Oil 3-0 in the first game of the Southeast Regional.

Lamers allowed just one hit in the victory while striking out 13

batters.

Otto Candies took an early 1-0 lead when Garret Smith scored on an error in the first inning. With Lamers cruising from the mound and holding Retif Oil hitless for the first six innings, Otto Candies scored solo runs in the fourth and fifth innings for the 3-0 victory.

Otto Candies head coach David Baudry was impressed with Lamers’ performance.

“It was dominant,” he said. “He was able to throw all of his pitches for strikes. You kind of expect that from him because he pitched in the tougher games for us throughout his career.”

Otto Candies 7 Deanie’s Seafood 4Otto Candies fought back

from an early 2-0 deficit against Rummel-based Deanie’s Seafood, exploding for six runs in the fifth inning on their way to a 7-4 victory.

Chase Bagot keyed the six-run outburst by tripling in Dylan Keller. Drew Favre fol-lowed with a single to plate Bagot and tie the game at 2-2.

But Otto Candies wasn’t done yet.

Lamers gave his team the lead with a single to right, and Smith followed with a single to left to score Waylon LeBlanc, which put Otto Candies on top 4-2.

Later in the inning, Todd Porche extended the advantage with a two-RBI single.

Otto Candies final run of the game came in the seventh inning when Bradley Aucoin singled to center to score Logan

from the plate, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Porche was 2-for-5 with two RBIs, while Smith, Aucoin, Bagot and Favre each drove in runs in the victory.

Mark Abate picked up the win for Otto Candies.

Otto Candies 6Peake BMW 4After leading his team to a

victory from the stripe, Abate came through from the plate to give his squad a 6-4 victory over Brother Martin-based Peake BMW.

Abate went 3-for-4 in the game with three RBIs, including

a two-run triple to break a tie and give Otto Candies the vic-tory.

Hahnville’s Peyton Robert gave his team the first lead of the game in the first inning when he knocked an RBI single. In the third, Keller blasted a single of his own to put his squad on top 2-0.

In the sixth, Abate singled to center, scoring Robert and Bagot to extend the Otto Candies lead to 4-1.

Peake BMW stormed back in the seventh inning after a triple and balk brought in three runs to tie the game at 4-4.

That set the stage for Abate’s game-winning triple in the bot-tom of the frame.

Baudry was surprised that Abate put together such an impressive performance from the plate after pitching eight innings the day before.

“He threw a tremendous game against Rummel and came back the next day with two big hits that lifted us,” Baudry said.

LeBlanc picked up the win for Otto Candies after coming on in relief for the final two innings.

Baudry said his team’s success in the regional tournament has been because of the experience that comes with senior leader-ship.

“We are probably one of the more experienced teams in American Legion baseball in this tournament,” he said. “For Lamers, Keller and Porche, this is their third summer playing American Legion. We have also pitched extremely well and we are doing a good job of getting guys on base.

“We are playing with a lot of focus and are playing hard.”

Otto Candies advanced to the tournament championship and faced off against the winner of Refuel and Peake BMW on Wednesday.

Monica McNamara, 52:It bothered me because my poor dog has an anxiety attack every time they go o� . He is not a little dog either to be having an anxiety attack.

Nigel DuBos, 43:It didn’t bother us. Our neighbors actually didn’t shoot o� a lot.

Victoria McNamara, 22:I didn’t set o� � reworks, all my neighbors were though. It bothered my dog.

By Kyle BarnettLifestyles Editor

[email protected]

Wallace Johnston, 91, is truly a child of a different era. He was orphaned at only 13 years old, dropped out of high school, par-ticipated in a work camp and joined the Air Force during World War II – all before the age of 20.

Johnston and his three brothers and five sisters became orphans when their parents died within six months of each other.

“My mother died from a rup-tured appendix and my dad had cirrhosis of the liver,” he said.

The circumstances of this mis-fortune would be acutely felt only two years later when he had to leave school and go to work for the first time. With few other options and a family that needed help, the then 15-year-old Johnston joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Mandeville.

It was in the CCC, a program borne out of the Great Depression meant to put those most needy to work, that Johnston made the leap from being a child to being man.

“We were doing a lot of trans-planting pine trees. We would pick them up in one area and transplant them to another area. Then we would go build some roads that needed to be built and fight fires. Sometimes there was a fire you’d have to fight with a flap or a 5-gallon can on your back,” he said.

Although undergoing back-breaking work before the age of 16, Johnston recalls the period of his life with understatement.

“It is something you have to get used to I guess,” he said.

At $30 a month, the pay was not bad for the time, but Johnston was only able to keep $8 a month. The rest went to help care for his fam-ily in New Orleans.

The living situation he experi-enced in the CCC was much like what he would experience later after joining the Air Force.

“Living in the barracks, taking a shower with 10 men, shaving with 15 men, eating in a mess hall,” he said.

At 16, Johnston’s one-year contract with the CCC was up, although he says that he would have kept on going if he had been able.

“You had to get out after one year and give someone else a chance,” he said.

Afterward Johnston had dreams of going to a trade school, but was unable to do so due to a lack of finances.

“I wanted to go to trade school, but I lost my parents and didn’t have any money. I couldn’t even afford street car fare. It was 7 cents each way and I couldn’t even afford that,” he said.

After a brief stint as a Pullman porter, Johnston landed as a laundry and dry

cleaning driver. “It didn’t come easy, we were working

for $7 a week,” he said. But with the USA’s entry into World War

II in 1941, Johnston knew it was only a matter of time before he was drafted.

Before his draft card came up he joined the Air Force on the advice of his brother-in-law.

“My brother-in-law went in before me. He was about eight years older than me and he told me to join the Air Force, that I’d like it. I was encouraged more or less to go into the Air Force and I said I’d go in with them,” he said.

Within days of signing up, Johnston found himself at Randolph Field outside of San Antonio, Texas. Although Johnston had been out of Louisiana on a few occasions he had never been away from home as long as he would be while in service of the country. From Texas he moved onto secondary training in Utah and then back to Texas where he was trained to drive a fuel tanker to refuel planes landing on air strips.

And then he found himself on a trans-

port boat headed for the island of New Guinea located just north of Australia.

This is where things went wrong for the first time. Late at night in enemy waters, the transport boat suddenly jerked every-one awake with a crash.

“We thought we were torpedoed. Everything started shaking and people said, ‘Oh what do we do! I can’t swim!

Where are we!’ So we drifted about half of the night. We didn’t have any lights because we were in enemy waters,” he said.

The boat had been accidentally struck by another Allied Forces ship. Luckily Johnston was not injured and the next morning the vessel was able to make it into a shipyard at the New Hebrides islands.

Although stopped short of their ultimate destination, Johnston and the others aboard would be at their New Guinea base within three weeks. At the time of his

Inherit the Wind is a play about a courtroom drama that takes place in 1925. The main characters include a science teacher, Cates, two attorneys, and a pastor. This powerful read reflects the Scopes Monkey Trial of the 20s and brings up the once-controversial issue of teaching evolution in school.

Inherit the Wind takes place in a small town in Tennessee. The setting switches among a street, the jail, and a courtroom. Science teacher Cates decides that he wants to fight for his cause and continue to educate the schoolchildren about evolution. The party opposing him is full of religious leaders and even a pastor. The lawyer whom Cates hires to defend him attempts to impose equality in the courtroom between Cates and the religious fanatics of the town. The result of the trail is shocking, even with the knowledge of how the actual trial resolved.

I enjoyed Inherit the Wind, and I would recommend it to those who are interested in American History and historical fiction. This educational play gives an interesting perspective on the famous trial of the early twenties.

Haley Morgan is a graduating senior in the Gifted program at Hahnville High. She plans to attend Louisiana State University and major in Biological Engineering.

Editor’s note: Book reviews are published weekly during the sum-mer in agreement with Hahnville High School gifted English teacher Deborah Unger in conjunction with the Brown Foundation Service Learning Program.

What’s Happening deployment, Johnston said he’d never heard of the tropical rainfor-est covered island.

“I didn’t know anything about foreign countries. I knew some things about Paris, France...that is about all I knew. I didn’t know anything about any place else. I didn’t think I end up in New Guinea,” he said.

The Louisiana boy now found himself halfway around the world assisting in the Pacific Theatre war effort. For he and his fellow soldiers, Johnston said it was just an experience he had to endure.

“Not only me, but everyone I was with in the Air Force was the same way. They said we had to do it so let’s go ahead and do it. That is the attitude they had,” he said.

For 11 months Johnston helped with transport operations, keep-ing airplanes fueled and oiled. He did not see time in war zones.

“I was nowhere near the action, but you could hear it in the dis-tance...the cannons going off and the different artillery, but I was never close,” Johnston said.

Johnston knows how lucky he was to be separated from the action.

“Some G.I.s went through hell. Dog faces and G.I.s of that sort went through hell watching their buddy die beside them and they couldn’t do a damn thing for them. They couldn’t save them,” he said.

However, Johnston soon had his own battles to fight. After a bad reaction to an anti-malaria drug he became ill.

“I got yellow jaundice. My whole body turned yellow. That is just something you go through,” he said.

Then he contracted a skin disease that signaled the end of his career as a soldier.

“I had a skin disease from my head down to my feet. ‘Jungle Rot’ was the nickname of it. Some fellas got it, some fellas didn’t get it. They say it came from the water you swim in at the bay,” he said. “The outfit I was in about five to six guys got it out of 200 men. I was one of them that caught it. Why me? I don’t know.”

Due to his medical condition, Johnston was transported back to the United States where he spent a year and half in a succession of hospitals. In 1944 he was discharged and went home to New Orleans and his old job as a laundry and dry cleaning driver where he spent the remainder of his career.

“I went back to laundry and dry cleaning. That’s all I knew. I got a route,” he said. “I had the experience, I knew the city and that was all I could think to do.”

In his early 60s Johnston retired to Montz where he lived for several years before his advanced age led him to become a resident at Luling Living Center.

For all he has been through, Johnston is a cheerful, thankful man who is easy with a laugh and eager to engage with others. For him, life keeps on being a surprise.

“I’m 91. I didn’t think I’d make it up to 91. I thought I’d make 75 at best. I have my bad times and sometimes I say ‘well time to go’ but the old man don’t want me yet,” he said.

My dear Heavenly Father, by Your grace, love & mercy you have touched my body & healed me again for your glory so I can still work & witness for You, until You call me Home to Heaven one day. � e old Enemy, the Devil, wants to destroy me, but You Lord & I say No! We resist the enemy in the name of Jesus & the Devil has to � ee. � e name of Jesus makes the Devil tremble & � ee. � e peace of God is ours & the old Enemy is defeated. It hurts us when the devil attacks but our Lord delivers all, from His dirty tricks. Our Lord deserves all the Honor, the Praises & Glory forever. Amen.
