Staff ReportThe 83rd edition of the

Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival is underway.

Local officials and members of the festival’s board cut the ribbon Thursday under the U.S. 90 bridge to open the an-nual harvest event, the oldest in the state.

Speaking of editions, inside this edition of The Daily Review you’ll find our annual festival sec-tion. It’s actually seven sections, including:

—Lagniappe, with an introduction to the peo-ple who bring you the festival and a year-by-year history of the event. You’ll also find informa-tion on when and where your favorite events will be held.

—St. Mary Seafood, with stories about the lo-cal shrimp fishing and alligator hunting. And you’ll find the return of a popular feature: recipes for preparing shrimp, alligator, crab and craw-fish dishes.

—St. Mary Energy, with information on the Mr. Charlie rig, the div-ing museum and more.

—St. Mary People, with features telling the stories of some of the people you may see and talk to every day.

—Football, two eight-page sections packed

with previews featuring local prep teams and col-lege squads.

—Tourism, a look at the popular sights to see in the Tri-City area.

This year ’s festival king and queen are David Patterson and Caylee Deshotel, who were crowned the 83rd Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival King and Queen Saturday during the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival Association’s coronation held at the Morgan City Municipal Auditorium.

Thursday was the first night for the Mitchell Brothers carnival mid-way. The rides and

games will be available through the end of the festival Monday night. On Monday, $25 ride bracelets will be avail-able noon-9 p.m.

The Artists Guild Unlimited Show and Sale, held in conjunc-tion with the festival, is already open and will continue through Sept. 22 at the Everett Street Gallery.

DEAR ABBY: My hus-band and I are happily married, but have one se-rious problem. Our sleep-ing habits are incompati-ble. I am an extremely light sleeper; he is a hor-rendous snorer.

He sees a snoring spe-cialist and tried several medical treatments, none of which worked. The on-ly solution is a minor surgical procedure. He doesn’t want to have the surgery. He insists he “sleeps fine,” and says

I’m the one with the problem.

I have tried earplugs, white noise machines, sleep medications and more, but I cannot get a decent sleep with the ob-noxious snoring. He stays up much later than I do, and I enjoy sleeping in our master bedroom until he comes to bed. I usually get driven out of the room by the noise.

We agree we don’t want to sleep in separate rooms and lose the inti-macy, but it’s the only op-tion for me to sleep well. Neither of us wants to give up the master bed-room because it’s the on-ly one with an attached bathroom.

Am I wrong for asking him to have surgery so we can share a bed? And if he won’t, who should get the master bedroom?

SLEEPLESS IN LOUISIANA

DEAR SLEEPLESS: Let’s be honest. By now your husband knows full well he doesn’t “sleep fine.” The reason for his re-luctance is fear of the surgery.

It wasn’t wrong of you to ask, and out of consideration for you

and the intimacy in your marriage he shouldn’t have re-fused.

However, because he insists on coming into the master bed-room, which he knows wakes you, for the sake of your health, take the other bed-room. Understand, the “intimacy bed” does not always have to be the “sleeping bed.” Good sleep quality is necessary for us to function properly.

DEAR ABBY: I have five grown children and three grandchildren. They have always come first, especially my grandchildren. When I began the relationship with my husband, I told him how important both were to me and that, no matter what, my grand-children always came first. He agreed and said he felt the same way.

Now, two years into our marriage, my daugh-ter and grandchildren want to come live with us for nine months while her husband is deployed. My husband is freaking out and keeps complain-ing every day even though they aren’t even here yet. He has pushed me to my breaking point, and I am not sure what to do.

I would never tell him

that or act that way to-ward his children or grandchildren. I’m now considering divorce.

What should I do?FAMILY FIRST

IN THE SOUTH

D E A R FA M I LY FIRST: I can’t help but wonder how you would REALLY feel if the shoe was on the other foot. Would you be as accommodating as you expect him to be, or would you be panicking, too?

Remind your hus-band that this is what he agreed to before your marriage, and point out that this isn’t forever. It will be for only nine months. Tell him it will be an opportunity for him to get to know the grand-kids and vice versa. Who knows? He might even enjoy it.

If he’s still unhappy after a reasonable pe-riod of time after they arrive, then it may be time to discuss sepa-rating. But don’t jump the gun.

Lonely and Troubled “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I

am alone and affl icted.” Psalm 25:16 HCSB Burdened by his dire circumstances, David

cries out for God’s protection and comforting presence. He yearns for God to look at him, to intently gaze at him, and thus for God to fo-cus His attention on David and his needs. In his despair David feels lonely as if he is totally alone in his distress and affl ictions. He pleads for God to be gracious and to show him mer-cy for his hope is in God alone. It is God who will provide, will sustain, and will deliver him through these troubled times.

Lord Jesus, at times I too feel alone and in despair when facing troubling times. At those times let me be drawn closer to You and keenly feel Your comfort, love, mercy, and grace.

Here are fiveways to makeLabor Dayweekend fun

By JOHN L. MICEKWith Labor Day weekend closing in with more speed than I’d

like to really acknowledge, I can’t turn around these days without someone reminding me of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous admonish-ment that “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

Before too long, we’ll be trading those summer clothes for sweat-ers and long sleeves. And those languid after-noon hours on the back porch, book in one hand, frosty beverage in the other, will be replaced by nights by the fireplace and afternoons of college foot-ball.

And more books, of course.So now seems as good a time as any to run down a sampling of

my own summer reading list, along with some of the other pop culture odds-and-ends that have been holding my attention during these warmer months.

Here we go.1. “The Tides of History” podcast, hosted by historian

Peter WymanThe biweekly, mostly monthly, podcast looks for the interconnect-

ing threads in our past. Whether he’s explaining how the 100 Years’ War (actually longer than 100 years) shaped the long-term map of western Europe or delving into how early Atlantic exploration changed the world’s economic future, Wyman is never anything less than engaging and thought-provoking. So until the puck drops on a new season of “Puck Soup,” the weekly hockey podcast hosted by ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski and Jeff Lozo of Vice Sports, “The Tides of History” remains in heavy rotation.

2. “The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, an American Legend,” by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin

I found it impossible to put down this biography of the Oglala Sioux war chief, who was the only Native American leader to ever defeat the United States military in a war. Still, he’s been largely overshadowed by other Plains Indian legends such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Drury’s and Clavin’s prose jumps off the page, viv-idly capturing the duplicity of the American government and its dealing with native tribes. It also sheds new light on the United States’ inability to comprehend the culture and fighting style of a formidable opponent. But it is also unsparing in its detail of the atrocities that Plains Indians committed against American soldiers and settlers who wandered into their territory.

3. “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History,” by S.C. Gwynne

Like Red Cloud, the Comanche chief Quannah Parker fought the American advance on the Great Plains tooth and nail for de-cades. And like Drury’s and Clavin’s book, Gwynne, a former editor of Texas Monthly, presents a lavishly researched book that spares no detail, no matter how small. That includes Parker’s explanation to a friend of how white settlers had pushed his people off their land by having his friend sit down next to him on a log: “Quanah sat down close to him and said ‘Move over.’ Miller moved. Parker moved with him, and again sat down close to him. ‘Move over,’ he repeated. This continued until Miller had fallen off the log. ‘Like that,’ said Quanah.”

4. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”Yes, the second installment of the adventures Marvel’s Star-

Spangled Avenger was released in 2014. But, for my money, it has the best opening three minutes of any film in the Marvel cinematic universe. The exchange between Captain America and The Falcon on the forces that have propelled them from their beds for an early morning run around the National Mall should resonate with any-one who’s ever laced on a pair of running shoes in pursuit of a dose of sanity and peace.

5. Don Letts’ “Culture Clash Radio” on BBC6The two-hour program, which airs 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. (East Coast

time) on Sunday nights on BBC6 Radio is my favorite way to close out the weekend. Letts, who’s a veteran of the original 1977 punk scene, a filmmaker, one time member of the band Big Audio Dynamite, and a longtime reggae DJ, is also an ace raconteur and storyteller. The eclectic mix of soul, reggae, dance music and picks from Letts’ voluminous record collection keeps the weekend roll-ing. And it’ll almost make you forget that you have to go back to work on Monday.

I’m always on the lookout for new reading and listening recom-mendations. And if I can turn you on to a book or publication you might have overlooked, that won’t be half-bad either. Send me your picks by email at jmicek@pennlive.com or hit me up on Twitter at @ByJohnLMicek.

Why does Louisiana haveso many statewide offices?

By JIM BROWNCurrent Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser has

brought up an interesting idea. Have the governor and the lieutenant governor run together on the same ticket. Such a system exists in a majority of states across the nation.

As Nungesser states: “The ticket idea seems to work well in other states. We ought to consider it. The only way I can do the best job I can do is to have a good working relationship with the gover-nor.”

Under the present Louisiana constitution, the lieutenant governor has no assigned duties. The person holding the office is at the beck and call of the governor.

When I served as secretary of state back in the 1980s, I would often make fun of my friend, Lt. Gov. Bobby Freeman. If he were in attendance at a gathering, I would tell the crowd that I knew what the lieutenant governor did all day. “As best I can figure, the lieutenant governor gets up in the morning to see if per chance the governor died the night before. If not, he’s free go fishing, play bou-ree, or do whatever he wants.”

Freeman would always feign laughter, but the point was made. The job has no constitutional responsibilities. The Legislature has put the lieu-tenant governor in charge of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, but do we really need to elect a bureaucrat to see that the trash is picked up in state parks and museum pictures are dusted off?

Seven states across the country do not even have a lieutenant governor, and Tennessee and West Virginia just gave the title to the president of the state Senate.

In 25 states, the governor and the lieutenant governor run as a team on the same ticket, similar to how national elections for president and vice president are selected. In fact, only 17 states have entirely separate elections for governor and lieu-tenant governor. In seven states, they don’t even have a lieutenant governor.

Nungesser’s suggestion of having the two offices run as a ticket actually makes pretty good sense. The governor would then have a lieutenant gover-nor of his or her selection, and would be able to assign duties to a colleague well trusted to work

together as a team effort.Quite frankly, several other statewide offices

could also be appointed by the governor as is done in a number of states.

I held two such offices that could well go on the chopping block. The secretary of state is an ap-pointed position in 12 states and three more don’t even have the office that some refer to as a “high end or glorified clerk of court.” The Louisiana Constitution requires that the secretary of state be the keeper of the “Great Seal of Louisiana.” I was Louisiana’s secretary of state in the 1980s. I looked for the seal during my entire eight years in office, but never could find it.

And how about the office of Louisiana insurance commissioner? Would you believe there are only 11 insurance commissioners elected in the entire country?

Commissioners spend a good part of their time raising campaign dollars from the very people they are supposed to regulate. Is this the best way to assure policyholders of reasonable insurance rates? Of course not.

I also held this elected office, and it could and should go on the chopping block.

Then there is the agriculture commissioner. Twelve states select, while 38 states appoint. It must make Louisianians more at ease to know that some politician is checking up on the veggies and milk that is consumed.

There’s a move by a number of education groups to elect the superintendent of education. Oh great! Let’s put a politician in charge to screw up the education of our kids even more. Why not just elect ‘em all right down to dogcatchers and trash haulers, right?

In a time of major fiscal crisis caused by inept political oversight, does Louisiana need to elect more positions than any other state in the nation? Some consolidation would seem to make good sense for a state on the verge of going broke. The lieutenant governor is on the right track.

When Louisiana goes eaux-verboardBy JIM BRADSHAW

Finally, an ally. On the misuse of “geaux.”Baton Rouge Advocate columnist Christina

Stephens has said “enough, already.” She says there is now “an addiction” to “overuse (or eaux-veruse, if you will) … of 'eaux' as a substitution for any ‘oh’ sound in a normal word.” She sug-gests that the substitution may have been cute at first, but that “it loses all cleverness” when we substitute eaux for “practically every word with an ‘oh’ sound” in our vocabulary.

I am tempted to cheer, “Geaux, Christina” But I won’t. Not only do I agree with her that “eaux” has been overused to the point of silli-ness, I have argued for years that it has been misused from the beginning.

I argue that, as much as we would like it to, and as wonderfully “Cajun” as it may seem, “geaux” is not properly pronounced “go.”

OK, “eaux” can be pronounced “oh,” I’ll agree to that. But I argue that the “g” in geaux is not a “hard” g, as the language teachers used to explain to us. It’s soft. If geaux were actually a word, which it is not, the proper way to say it would be “jhoe,” not “go.”

Think, for example, of the local family name of Domengeaux. The g has a soft pronunciation. The name is not pronounced Dough-man-go; it is Dough-man-jhoe. Simply pulling the geaux from the end of the name does not change the way it’s pronounced.

If you want a Gallic spelling that sounds like “go,” try “gau,” as in Gaudet, Gautreaux, Gaudin, etc. That would be the easiest way to fix all those signs, banners, and cutesy web sites. We could just block out the “e” in geaux and turn it into gaux. We can even leave the silent little “x.”

The whole thing reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek suggestion that the word “fish” should properly be spelled “ghoti.” That’s pronouncing the gh with an f sound, as in tough; the “o” with an “i” sound, as in women; and the ti with an “sh” sound, as in attention.

Of course, this is south Louisiana and we’ve

got so many languages and dialects it’s a won-der that any word is pronounced the same way twice.

I’ve always wondered, for example, why the name of the city is most often pronounced New Awlins, but the parish name is invariably pro-nounced Or-LEANS. And why is a split road forked, but the island is For-ked?

And there will always be an argument over whether the proper pronunciation for the parish is LAUGH-ayette or LAH-fayette.

Don’t accuse me of not taking a stance on this one. I say both are right and both are wrong. It depends.

The town and parish were named in honor of Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette. When the name is pro-nounced the way he wrote it, with the La and the Fa separated, we tend toward the French pronunciation, “lah,” because La and Fa are two distinct syllables. Then it is Lah-Fah-Yet.

But once you take away the space between La and Fa and make it Lafayette, the sound chang-es as the syllable structure changes. Now the word has become Anglicized into Laf-a-yette, and we get the “laugh” pronunciation.

Then, once we’ve worked out the laugh-lah business, we still have to worry about the “fa.” It’s sometimes pronounced as “fye,” rhyming with “pie,” and sometimes with the “fah” sound. So we get the varied pronunciations of Laugh-fah-yet, Laugh-fye-yet, Lah-fah-yet, and Lah-fye-ette. Don’t worry over it; just pick one. Or, if you’re talking to some visitors from the North, use two different pronunciations in the same sentence, just to confuse them.

If you want a real challenge, try to explain to those same foreigners how to pronounce court-bouillon or to give them directions to Paincourtville.

view.comThree first-half turn-

overs came back to bite Central Catholic after a huge Pine High School fourth-quarter rally to stun the Eagles 40-32.

The Raiders entered the fourth quarter down 34-18 but scored three times, including the fi-nal two touchdowns by wide receiver Jordan Anderson on long pass plays, to secure the win.

Anderson f inished the game with five re-ceptions for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

“Us throwing the ball is not always a bad thing,” Pine Coach Bradley Seal sa id . “They’re really good. They’re really good up front, but they started pounding us. If they don’t turn the ball over in the first half and just keep it and pound us, pound us, pound us, it’s probably so far ahead we can’t come back.”

C e n t r a l C a t h o l i c Coach Tommy Minton said his team can’t turn the ball over repeatedly against a quality oppo-nent like Pine.

“That ’s one thing right there, and then we had an opportunity with six minutes left in the ballgame and four minutes left in the ball game to run the clock out, and we don’t,” he said.

Minton also said the Eagles s imply just didn’t tackle Pine ’s wide receivers when they had solid coverage on them.

Trailing 18-12 at the half, Central Catholic seized the momentum to begin the third quar-ter as the Eagles need-ed just three plays fol-lowing the kickoff to punch the ball in the end zone. The drive ended when Davidyione Bias darted 59 yards to the end zone with 10:17 left in the third quar-ter. Bryce Grizzaffi’s two-point run was good, giving Central Catholic a 20-18 lead.

Bias led the Eagles with 29 carries for 209 yards and three touch-downs.

Pine fumbled the ball on its first offensive p lay f o l l owing the score, and the Eagles r e c o v e r e d a t t h e Raiders 39.

Nine p lays later, Central Catholic quar-terback DeDe Gant con-nected with tight end Caleb Menina for a 3-yard touchdown com-pletion with 4:44 re-maining in the third quarter. The Eagles led 26-18 following a failed two-point conversion.

M e n i n a l e d t h e Eagles’ receivers with three catches for 34 yards and a score, while Gant completed 7 of 12 passes for 68 yard with one touchdown and two interceptions. Gant also rushed 10 times for 82 yards and a score.

Central Catholic suc-cessfully pulled off an onside kick following the score and again, cashed in as Bias scored on a 24-yard run with 2:36 remaining. Bias’ two-point run was good for a 34-18 Central Catholic lead.

From there, however,

Central Catholic’s of-fense cooled as the Eagles would not gain another first down.

While Pine was basi-cally one-dimensional the rest of the game, re-sorting to its passing game by necess i ty, Markell Cotton and A n d e r s o n p u t t h e Raiders back in the ball game, and eventually lifted them to victory.

A f t e r s t o p p i n g Central Catholic’s first drive of the fourth quarter, the Raiders scored on three straight possessions.

Cotton had the first score via a 19-yard re-ception from Logan Temples with 6:54 re-maining. Cotton’s two-point run was success-ful, cutting the Eagles’ lead to 34-26.

Cotton finished the game with five catches for 71 yards and two scores, while Temples

completed 11 of 28 pass-es for 276 yards and f o u r t o u c h d o w n s . Temples also had one rushing touchdown.

Seal said Anderson and Cotton are “really, really good.” He also complimented the play of Temples.

“Our quarterback stood in there and took some shots,” Seal said.

After a crucial third-down stop, keeping Bias two yards short of a first down and forcing a Central Cathol ic punt, the Raiders need-ed just two plays to get even c loser to the Eagles.

On second down from the Pine 26, Temples found Anderson for a s h o r t c o m p l e t i o n . Anderson slipped a tack-led and raced down the field for a 74-yard touch-down with 4:14 remain-ing in the contest. Pine’s two-point conversion

failed, but it had cut its deficit to 34-32.

After forcing another Central Catholic three-and-out, Pine reached the end zone in dramat-ic fashion.

Fac ing a f our th -down-and-five situation f r o m i t s o w n 3 6 , Temples again connect-ed with Anderson on a short pass that he turned into a 64-yard touchdown with 1:57 remaining. Temples ’ two-point conversion was good for a 40-34 Pine lead.

Central Catholic com-mitted its fourth turn-over of the evening on its final drive as Gant was intercepted with 1:08 remaining, sealing the Pine win.

Early on, Pine drove down the field for a score on its first drive of the game, capped by Temples’ 18-yard run with 10:08 remaining in the first quarter. The two-point run failed, and Pine led 6-0.

“I was surprised the first drive we ran the ball on them like we did, because we knew they ’re loading the box,” Seal said.

However, he said the one-one-one matchup with defenders on de-fense is what Pine likes.

While Pine got the ball back on a fumbled kickoff return after Temples ’ touchdown a n d a g a i n o n t h e Eagles’ second offen-sive drive after the Eagles had moved the ball into Raider territo-ry, the Raiders were

unable to capitalize.Central Catholic tied

the game at 6 7:58 re-maining in the first half on a 33-yard run by Gant. The Eagles’ two-point run failed, leav-ing the score tied at 6.

The teams exchanged touchdowns on the next three drives as Temples completed a 22-yard touchdown pass to Cotton for a 12-6 Pine lead with 4:10 remain-ing in the second quarter before Bias responded with a 6-yard touchdown run with 2:16 remaining to tie the score at 12.

Pine scored the final touchdown of the half via a 5-yard run by Jaheim Williams with 1:57 remaining in the first half for an 18-12 Pine lead.

Pine f inished the game with 351 yards of offense (276 passing and 75 rushing), while Central Catholic to-taled 370 yards of of-fense (302 rushing and 68 passing).

“We moved the ball, and to me, the two criti-cal turnovers in the first quarter hurt us bad, because we were moving the ball well then,” Minton said. “That’s two drives that we get nothing out of. It’s a matter of going back and correcting mistakes and getting ready for next week.”

Pine will return to ac-tion Sept. 7 when it hosts Varnado, while Central Catholic will travel to Covington to f a c e A r c h b i s h o p Hannan on Sept. 7.

HOUSTON (AP) — Even Andrew Heaney couldn’t re-member his last road win.

“Apparently, it’s been awhile,” the left-hander said.

Heaney pitched six score-less innings, Andrelton Simmons capped a four-run sixth inning with a three-run double and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 5-2 Thursday night.

Heaney (8-8) scattered five hits with six strikeouts to earn his first road win since Sept. 2, 2015, at Oakland, a span of 17 straight road starts.

“Heater was good,” Heaney said. “Breaking ball mixed in at times, and I re-ally didn’t throw the chan-

geup all that much. ... I got some timely outs. I kept them from building that big inning.”

After missing all but one start in 2016 with Tommy John surgery and starting just five games in 2017 — including three on the road— he began the day 0-5 in 12 road starts this season.

Heaney, who allowed five runs in six innings in his last start Friday against the Astros, improved to 3-1 against Houston this season and allowed fewer than two runs in three of the four out-ings.

“Coming from just facing them last week, it looked like his command was where it needed to be,” Angels manager Mike

Scioscia said. “He had all his pitches working. He pitched ahead in counts. He checked all the boxes that should lead to a great outing.”

Heaney’s only other shut-out start this season was June 5 against Kansas City in which he threw a one-hit-ter. He had allowed 11 runs in his last two starts.

“We saw him a couple days ago and he didn’t quite have the velo that he had to-night,” Houston manager AJ Hinch said. “And then I think four out of the first five innings we had base-runners and they were erased one way or another, so he was able to escape any baserunners that we had. He threw a really good game."

Angels beat Astros 5-2

Pine High School's Jordan Anderson eyes a pass while Central Catholic's Khyre Willis defends during Thursday's season-opener in Morgan City. Pine

rallied with three fourth-quarter touch-downs, the last two receptions by Anderson, to stun Central Catholic 40-34.

Pine scores 22 in 4th to stun CCHS 40-34

By BRETT MARTELAP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Wake Forest freshman Sam Hartman passed for 378 yards and two touch-downs in his collegiate de-but, Cade Carney powered in for a short TD in over-time, and the Demon Deacons defeated Tulane 23-17 on Thursday night.

“Sam was so poised,” Carney said. “Of course,

he made some rookie mis-takes, like you do, but the way he played overall — super proud of him.

“They were going to dare him to throw the ball, and he threw some dimes.”

Jonathan Banks con-nected with Terren Encalade for touchdown passes of 52 and 74 yards for Tulane, which had the ball on the edge of game-winning field goal range in the last minute of regulation before stall-ing after a false-start pen-alty.

Tulane’s Peter Woullard was flagged for a personal foul when the Green Wave began overtime with the ball. Tulane turned the ball over on downs soon after, setting up Wake Forest’s winning score.

“This one stings, no doubt about it. But it’s the first of a 12-game season,” third-year Tulane coach Willie Fritz said. “We had some momentum going in the second half, but we shot ourselves in the foot with a couple of penalties. You saw a lot of first-game mistakes by both squads. Unfortunately, they made one more play than us.”

Alex Bachman caught both of Hartman’s first two touchdown passes, which went for 10 and 19

yards. Sage Surrratt had 11 catches for 150 yards and Greg Dortch caught 12 passes for 149 yards.

Hartman was starting the opener because pro-jected starter Kendall Hinton was suspended three games for an un-specified violation of team rules. The Demon Deacons also had their starting tight end sent off the field within the first five min-utes of the game when his hit to the head of Tulane returner Jacob Robertson was ruled a targeting foul.

Hartman wound up with a promising perfor-mance in a victory, but it was by no means mistake free. He finished 31 of 51 and threw two intercep-tions, the second of which could have cost Wake Forest the game.

The Demon Deacons were threatening to take a two-score lead when Hartman attempted a des-perate, underhanded pass in an effort to avoid being sacked by Tulane’s Tirise Barge. The ball went straight to linebacker Larry Graham for an in-terception.

Banks scrambled twice for first downs during the game-tying drive, once up the middle for 17 yards on third-and-5 and later scrambling 15 yards on

fourth-and-11 from the Wake Forest 37.

That set up Merek Glover ’s career-long 39-yard field goal to tie it at 17 with 3:53 left.

Banks finished 18 of 37 for 281 yards, but constant-ly found himself spinning and scrambling away from pressure. He was sacked three times and often had to throw the ball away.

Even his first TD pass to Encalade came after he was forced to scramble to his right and lofted a deep ball down the sideline.

The Green Wave repeat-edly squandered good field position, punting seven times from Wake Forest’s side of midfield. Tulane never ran a play from in-side the Wake Forest 22.

THE TAKEAWAYWake Forest: The

Demon Deacons saw that Hartman can play well with protection and could become a prolific passer. Yet, as expected with young players, he strug-gled to maintain compo-sure and made some re-

grettable decisions when defenders were able to get pressure in the backfield.

Tulane: The Green Wave can be encouraged by its ability to compete in the A m e r i c a n A t h l e t i c Conference and vie for a bowl bid after taking a power-conference team to overtime in its opener. But Tulane will be disappoint-ed it squandered chances to take a statement victory.

BHPA Week 5 report

By LES EASTAssociated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Cameron Meredith got a chance to show what he can bring to the Saints’ offense.

Meredith caught two passes for 72 yards and a touchdown in a 28-0 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the teams’ preseason fi-nale Thursday night. The former Bears wide receiver was one of the top free agents signed by the Saints, who brought him in even though he had major knee surgery last fall.

Meredith’s rehab from the injury has gone well, but he was limited in training camp and didn’t catch a pass in the first three preseason games. In this one, though, he had no restrictions.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better day,” Meredith

said. “All these opportuni-ties and plays that I was able to make tonight really help me going into (the reg-ular season).”

Meredith caught a 56-yard pass from Taysom Hill to set up rookie Boston Scott’s 4-yard touchdown run for the game’s first score in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Hill threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Meredith for a 12-0 halftime lead.

Hill targeted Meredith throughout the first half, overthrowing him on a 2-point conversion attempt and a third-down pass into the end zone before Wil Lutz’s 34-yard field goal. That made it 15-0 for the Saints (3-1).

Next up for Meredith is a chance to team up with starting quarterback Drew

Brees in the regular season.In the third quarter, two

linebackers competing for one of the final spots on the Saints’ roster teamed up for a touchdown. Colton Jumper blocked a punt, Jayrone Elliott picked up the ball and ran 2 yards for a touchdown.

Jonathan Williams ran 3 yards for a touchdown that completed the scoring in the fourth quarter.

“We finished the presea-son well on both sides of the ball,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “I thought we won both lines of scrim-mages, which is always im-portant. Our special teams were outstanding. We blocked a punt while rush-ing six guys.”

The Rams (2-2), like the Saints, rested most of their starters in order to focus on

players competing for the final roster spots. LA coach Sean McVay didn’t play any of his offensive starters in the preseason.

Third-year quarterback Brandon Allen started in place of Jared Goff and played into the third quar-ter, going 7 of 13 for 57 yards and an interception.

Rookie free agent Nick Holley, a converted quarter-back from Kent State, started in place of Todd Gurley and rushed 11 times for 31 yards.

“Tonight was a tough night,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “We have a lot of tough decisions to make over the next couple of days. We feel good about where we are as a team in terms of our health. We’re doing our best to take steps one day at a time to be at

our best on Sept. 10. We’re looking forward to getting started with these games that count.”

B R I D G E W A T E R WATCHES

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, whom New Orleans acquired in a trade with the New York Jets on Wednesday, was on the Saints sideline but was not in uniform.

“I don’t mind waiting,” Bridgewater said. “I get to learn with one of the best players to ever play this game.”

He was brought in to back up Brees and perhaps someday replace the 39-year-old quarterback.

“(He makes) good deci-sions, accurate, smart, can move, can make the first guy miss,” Payton said. “He’s a winner. He won in college.

He’s won in the NFL.”NATIONAL ANTHEMIt did not appear that

any players chose to sit, kneel or stay off the field while the national anthem was sung.

INJURIESRams: No injuries.Saints: G Andrus Peat

went to the locker room ac-companied by a member of the training staff in the first quarter and did not re-turn. He underwent sur-gery for a broken fibula and ligament damage in January. DT Taylor Stallworth was escorted to the sideline by trainers af-ter being tended to in the fourth quarter.

Meredith helps Saints beat Rams 28-0

By BRETT MARTELAP Sports Writer

BATON ROUGE — LSU’s Nick Brossette and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are hardly the household names the Tigers have been accustomed to featur-ing at running back.

Current NFL players Jeremy Hill, Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice all established their credentials in backup roles and were bona fide pro prospects by the time they became featured rushers at LSU.

That is no longer the case as the 25th-ranked Tigers enter their season opener against No. 8 Miami in Dallas on Sunday night. Even LSU coach Ed Orgeron used the word “un-proven” when discussing his running backs this week.

But that doesn’t mean the Tigers won’t try to see how much they can punish the Hurricanes on the ground.

“We’re going to be physi-cal. It’s in our DNA. That’s why you come to LSU — and I tell our team that,” Orgeron said. “We’re al-ways going to be physical here.”

So it shouldn’t take long before LSU learns whether Brossette and Edwards-Helaire meet the Tigers’ re-cent standard at running back.

Brossette, a senior, was a third-stringer last season behind Guice and then-se-nior Darrel Williams. Brossette carried only 19 times for 96 yards in 2017, and the play for which he is arguably remembered most was a fumble during an up-

set loss to Troy — after which Orgeron questioned then-offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s decision to give the ball to Brossette at that point in the game.

If that episode under-mined the 6- foot , 218-pound Brossette’s con-fidence, it doesn’t show now.

“They need me this year and I’m ready for the chal-lenge,” Brossette said. “I know they’re going to be de-pending on me and I’m de-pending on myself, so I’m just ready to shock a lot of people this year and I’m very motivated.”

Edwards-Helaire is a 5-8, 208-pound sophomore who carried just nine times as a freshman. But he leans on his personal history as a backup to Guice at their Baton Rouge high school

when discussing why he ex-pects to enjoy a consider-able emergence this season.

After Guice graduated, Edwards-Helaire led Catholic High School to a 2015 state title and was named most outstanding player in the championship game.

“It’s almost the same here,” Edwards-Helaire said, adding that he has kept in close contact with Guice, whom he has always seen as an older brother. “Who wants to let their old-er brother down when they’ve been mentoring him the whole way. That’s something that would al-ways keep me going.”

Teammates have com-pared Edwards-Helaire’s running style to that of a bowling ball because of his combination of power and

low center of gravity.Edwards-Helaire asserts

that new coordinator Steve Ensminger’s scheme is a good fit for him because its usual pro-style, spread for-mations are similar to those out of which he pro-duced big gains in high school as both a rusher and receiver out of the back-field.

“Nothing’s unfamiliar to me. I’ve been spread out, been in the I (formation) and I’ve been in the shot-gun,” Edwards-Helaire said. “I’m very versatile and I can probably play anywhere on the field.”

He also cannot envision a program like LSU ever shying away from running the ball.

“LSU is based off of run-ning backs and it’s in our identity,” he said.

Like Edwards-Helaire, Brossette has kept in touch with former LSU team-mates in the NFL.

One of them is Falcons linebacker Deion Jones, who was on special teams and a defensive reserve un-til his breakout final season before turning pro in 2016. Brossette remains mindful of the paths of not just Jones, but other past Tigers such as linebacker Duke Riley or QB Matt Flynn, whose careers were trans-formed by strong final sea-sons at LSU.

“Just looking at those guys, they motivate me,” Brossette said. “I just had to be patient. That just comes with it. It taught me a lot. I’ve matured and I saw a lot of things here and I think I’m ready for this moment.”

by Robert Ashley, M.D.Dear Readers, this will

be my 250th column over the past two years. Writ-ing for you has been a great opportunity, and I thank all of you for the questions you have giv-en me. In trying to con-vey the best information possible, I have learned a great deal. I have pored through multiple articles in my attempt to glean the truth buried within the scientifi c evidence and to explain how it ap-plies to our everyday life. Now, however, other du-ties beckon, and so this is my last article for you. My colleagues, Dr. Eve Glazier and Dr. Elizabeth Ko, will continue writing the column and address-ing your medical queries.

I feel both a sense of satisfaction in helping so many people, as well as a great deal of regret that I may not have the frequent opportunity to unearth what remains a wealth of untapped knowledge.

There remains a great deal of confusion and much misinformation about health and disease. Even I cling to notions that may be incorrect and, when confronted with studies that are contrary to my beliefs, I must overcome my hu-bris and admit when I’m wrong. It would be nice if we could all do that.

In one last salvo, I would like to give you my hope for a healthier soci-ety:

-- A healthy society is one that provides access to vegetables, fruits and animal protein and re-

jects the multiple pro-cessed foods and desserts that have fl ooded our markets.

-- A healthy society is one that decreases pol-lutants that contaminate the air we breathe and the water we drink.

-- A healthy society should have open spac-es for its people to hike, walk, saunter or just sit reading a book or taking time to watch the sun set.

-- A healthy society has compassion for its indi-vidual members and a reverence to the Earth that harbors them.

I hope that my efforts have provided insight and guidance about your health, even as I hope that each person can commit to contributing in some way to make our world a better place.

To do that, each of us has to take responsibil-ity for our own health. Succumbing to the pleth-ora of unhealthy foods, drugs, alcohol and to-bacco available to us, or using one’s nonwork

time glued to some form of visual entertainment, will not make a healthy individual. Instead, poor health habits lead to dis-ease, the taking of multi-ple medications with side effects and the inability to live life fully. Our con-sumer industries feed off our unhealthy habits and, in concordance, our health care becomes ever more expensive. These choices are up to us.

I’d like to thank my wife and kids for being patient with me while I worked on these articles on the weekends. As for me, my fi rst weekend endeavor will be to clean up my garage. It’s a mess. I will continue to write medical articles for UCLA Health and will be promoting my novel, “Beautifully Ab-surd.” And I will contin-ue my work as a prima-ry care physician, where I will continue to learn about medicine and the everyday lives of human existence. Thank you.

ASK THE DOCTORS A Final Farewell To Readers

by Robert Ashley, M.D.

TODAY IN HISTORYThe Associated Press

Today is Friday, Aug. 31, the 243rd day of 2018. There are 122 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On Aug. 31, 1972, at the Munich Summer Olympics, American swimmer Mark Spitz won his fourth and fifth gold medals in the 100-meter butterfly and 800-meter freestyle re-lay.

On this date:In 1954, Hurricane

Carol hit the northeast-ern Atlantic states; Connecticut, Rhode Is-land and part of Mas-sachusetts bore the brunt of the storm, which re-sulted in some 70 deaths.

In 1980, Poland’s Solidarity labor move-ment was born with an agreement signed in Gdansk that ended a 17-day-old strike.

In 1986, 82 people were killed when an Aeromexico jetliner and a small private plane col-lided over Cerritos, California.

In 1992, white separat-ist Randy Weaver sur-rendered to authorities in Naples, Idaho, ending an 11-day siege by feder-al agents that had claimed the lives of Weaver’s wife, son and a deputy U.S. marshal.

In 1994, the Irish Republican Army de-clared a cease-fire. Russia officially ended its military presence in the former East Germany and the Baltics after half a century.

Ten years ago: With Hurricane Gustav ap-proaching New Orleans,

Mayor Ray Nagin plead-ed with the last of its res-idents to get out, imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on those who were stay-ing and warned looters they would be sent di-rectly to prison.

Five years ago: Short of support at home and allies abroad, President Barack Obama stepped back from a missile strike against Syria and instead asked Congress to support a strike against President Bashar Assad’s regime for sus-pected use of chemical weapons.

O n e y e a r a g o : Rescuers began a block-by-block search of tens of thousands of Houston homes, looking for any-one who might have been left behind in the flood-waters from Hurricane Harvey. The scope of the fake accounts scandal at Wells Fargo expanded, with the bank now say-ing 3.5 million accounts may have been opened without customers’ per-mission.

Today’s Birthdays: Japanese monster movie actor Katsumi Tezuka is 106. Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson is 83. Actor Warren Berlinger is 81. Musician Jerry Allison is 79. Actor Jack Thompson is 78. Singer Van Morrison is 73. Musician Rudolf Schenker is 70. Actors Richard Gere and Stephen Henderson are 69. Olympic gold medal track and field athlete Edwin Moses is 63.

Musician Larry Waddell is 55. Actor Jaime P. Gomez is 53. Musician Greg Richling and actor Zack Ward are 48. Golfer Padraig Harrington is 47. Actor Chris Tucker is 46. Actress Sara Ramirez is 43.

Thought for Today: “Good people are good be-cause they’ve come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.” — William Saroyan, American author and playwright (born this date in 1908, died 1981).

BY HELOISEDear Heloise: If you

want to extend the life of your CELLPHONE BAT-TERY, try these hints:

* Be sure to charge the battery fully before fi rst use.

* Turn your phone off if you won’t be using it for several hours. Sounds like a no-brainer, but many people forget.

* Do NOT let the bat-tery fully discharge be-fore recharging. Lithium batteries can be damaged by letting the battery charge get too low. A lith-ium battery is designed to be charged often, and the battery life can be prolonged with frequent chargings.

* Your battery will last longer if you keep it out of extreme heat, like a hot car or direct sunlight. If your battery gets extremely hot while charging, it might be malfunctioning.

* Use only a charger rated for your battery. -- Ron L., Albany, N.Y.SEND A GREAT HINT TO:HeloiseP.O. Box 795001San Antonio, TX 78279-5001Fax: 1-210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise(at)Helo-ise.com A HARD LESSON

Dear Heloise: My daughter fl ew to Can-ada with her boss and co-workers to a job site. Upon arriving in Cana-da, my daughter was in-formed that she could not enter the country for 10 years following a DWI.

Her offense was eight years ago! She was so em-barrassed. She was put on a plane home. It was a hard lesson learned, but she will never again drive after having a drink. -- A Reader, Crockett, Texas

This is a valuable piece of information, and I hope my readers will remember that a DWI

stays on your record a very long time. The po-lice are cracking down on drunken drivers, so please, don’t drink and drive. -- HeloiseEGGSHELLS

Dear Heloise: Egg-shells are a great fertiliz-er for the garden. Break them up into small pieces and mix into the dirt. -- Lucille M., New Haven, Ind.

Lucille, I like to put all my eggshells in a plastic bag, then crush them up and use in a compost pile, or loosely break them up and scatter on the lawn for the birds. -- HeloiseMORE MILEAGE OUT OF MESH

Dear Heloise: I have stumbled on a good use for the mesh bags that grocery stores use to package produce like po-tatoes or onions.

We all are aware of their value as storage containers, but you only need a few for that pur-pose. The rest make won-derful scouring pads.

Because the mesh used to make the bags is of various degrees of coarse-ness, the pads that you make will work well for a wide variety of surfaces. Making the pads is mere-ly the process of cutting pieces of the bags into various sizes. -- Verna H., Sunbury, OhioHAIR SPRAY

Dear Heloise: I hated using hair spray because it would get into my ears. Now, I’ve found that if I place the hair spray can’s cap over my ear while I spray my hair, I can keep my ears free of the hair spray. -- Nanette D., Al-pena, Mich.

Nanette, that’s a good idea. Another reader once told me that she had a spatula just for the pur-pose of covering her ears when she uses hair spray. -- Heloise

Extend the life of cellphone battery

“What A Life!”By the REV. WILMER TODD

The recent report of the Pennsylvania grand jury on clerical sexual abuse has shaken the faith of many people in Southern Louisiana and our whole country. The number of victims and perpetrators mentioned in the report is stagger-ing. The pain and hurt inflicted on children over decades, the lives of hundreds of individuals and families whom these crimes have severely af-fected upset all of us. Moreover the cover-ups that failed to protect these children and end this sinful behavior are appalling and bewilder-ing.

As a Catholic priest for 54 years, I would like to apologize to anyone who has ever been a vic-tim of sexual abuse by any member of the church’s personnel. I am sorry for any harm or pain anyone might have experienced and if I can do anything to ease that pain, please let me know. I do believe that God’s compassionate love and Jesus’ healing power will bring us through this difficult time.

However, we as a church must honestly and persistently deal with the culture that al-lowed the abuse of chil-dren to continue. We must address the sins committed in our com-munities, address the suffering and trauma it has caused, and work to bring healing and justice to its victims. We must also radically change the culture that permitted and protected it.

Addressing this prob-lem in an open letter, Pope Francis said,

“Looking ahead to the future, no effort must be spared to create a cul-ture able to prevent such situations from happen-ing, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated. The pain of the victims and their families is also our pain. So it is urgent that we again reaffirm our com-mitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults.”

When the Archbishop ordained me a priest in December 1963, I was still in the seminary. During the spring se-mester of 1964, six of us newly ordained went to six different Catholic c h u r c h e s i n t h e Archdiocese of New Orleans on a rotating basis for weekend pasto-ral experience.

When I went to one parish, several altar boys were hanging around the rectory. I talked with them and some of them revealed to me that they were being sexually abused by the associate pastor. I knew the pastor very well and reported this informa-t ion to h im. The Archbishop removed the priest from active minis-try. However, no crimi-na l charges were brought against the priest. Nothing to my knowledge was done to help the altar servers deal with the abuse. Everything was kept quiet.

Maybe some of us re-member the Fr. Gauthe case in the Lafayette Diocese. He was accused of sexually assaulting 27 youth over a period of years. Bishop Gerard

Frey was on the hot seat because he knew about the abuses and moved the priest from parish to parish. I was a deacon under Bishop Frey when he was at St. Francis de Sales Church in Houma. He is not an evil man. He just did what every-one was doing at the time -- trying to give the priest a chance to re-pent. Other Bishops should have learned from the Lafayette and Boston situations but unfortunately they did not.

Sexual abusers do not change. They need to be removed from their soci-ety. Most cases uncov-ered in Pennsylvania were old cases. Many perpetrators went to a high school seminary where they were isolated and did not go through the normal psycho-sexu-al development that or-dinary teenagers experi-ence. They did not date or have much contact with young women. When they were under pressure, they acted out shamefully.

I want to close with the words of Pope Francis, “Penance and prayer will help us open our eyes and our hearts to other people’s suffer-ings and to overcome the thirst for power and pos-sessions that are so of-ten the root of those evils. May fasting and prayer open our ears to the hushed pain felt by children, young people and the disabled. Make us hunger and thirst for justice that impels us to walk in the truth, sup-porting all the judicial measures that may be necessary.”

We must honestly deal with the culture that allowed abuse of children

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVEJohn McCain's Final Challenge

by David M. ShribmanFrom the Vietnam combat of

the Lyndon B. Johnson years to the political wars of the Donald J. Trump era, John S. McCain III -- grandson, son and father of naval officers, Hanoi prisoner of war, lion of Capitol Hill, presidential nominee, keeper of the American flame and defender of the Ameri-can faith -- was at the center of the nation’s life.

And when he died Saturday at age 81, the country lost both a conservative and a radical, a public servant who was the ser-vant of no discernible ideology, a principal of both the warrior class and the political class -- and a pugnacious pugilist with the fiery temper of Ty Cobb (whom the journalist Bugs Baer once wrote would climb a mountain to punch an echo) and the iconoclastic temperament of Thomas Paine (who was both philosopher and revolutionary).

Fifth from the bottom of his class at Annapolis, McCain rose in the Navy and eventually in the nation’s estimation, and his route from solitary confinement to confinement for glioblastoma brain tumors, with stops along the way as reformer (on cam-paign finance) and rebel (against President Trump), is a peculiarly post-World War II story.

It was, to be sure, less a Hora-tio Alger tale of heroic striving than a heroic Horatio Hornblower tale of the naval arts. It was not an up-from-obscurity tale like that of his 2008 rival, Barack Obama, for the 44th president was a black man reared in Indonesia and Ha-waii while McCain was descend-ed from two admirals. But it was a comeback story nonetheless, for McCain was a serial recover-er, from near failure at the Naval Academy, from Vietnam captivi-ty, from the Keating Five finance scandal, from repeated health challenges, and from defeat in the most visible, visceral competition in American life.

The sad coda to John McCain’s remarkable life was a remarkable Long Goodbye, first taking form in casting a thumbs-down vote that stopped the repeal of the health care plan that bears the name of his presidential-election rival; defying his party’s president and many of his Arizona constituents by disapproving of stern immigra-tion restrictions, especially those aimed at the young Dreamers; calling on Trump to gain an “ap-preciation for the importance of our values to our security, and (to understand) that simple hu-man decency is as essential to the souls of nations as it is to the souls of people”; and finally, this spring, opposing as a onetime victim of torture the confirmation of a CIA chief who was a onetime prosecutor of torture.

Then he published a 380-page Farewell Address bearing the title “The Restless Wave” and car-rying an evocative subtitle that was a nine-word epitaph on a life fiercely lived: “Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights and Other Appreciations.”

His reward in the days after his demise -- a death not surprising but shocking nevertheless -- will be to be recognized as one of the signature characters of his time, one of the signal spokesmen for the causes of campaign-finance reform and human rights, one of the great fighters of his era and, as this and scores of other pieces in news outlets across the coun-try demonstrate, the subject of hurriedly crafted journalistic ap-preciations.

There was, to be sure, a touch

of romance to McCain’s life, a romance rooted in his recovery from solitary confinement; in his stint as naval liaison to the Sen-ate, a post his father once held and that introduced the young McCain to many of the lawmak-ers he eventually would join; in his early years in the House, where he stood out and stood fast; and in his time in the Senate, where his unpredictability was unappreciated by Republican leaders but embraced by Demo-crats and the press -- two groups he would refer to, ruefully but not fully untruthfully, as his base.

Sen. John F. Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, considered his fellow Vietnam veteran as his running mate, just as McCain, when he won the GOP nomination four years later, considered Democratic Sen. Jo-seph I. Lieberman. Neither deal was consummated, but McCain, in “The Restless Wave,” regret-ted to the end that he let his ad-visers talk him out of selecting Lieberman and into inviting Gov. Sarah Palin onto the ticket.

“It was sound advice that I could reason for myself,” he wrote. “But my gut told me to ignore it, and I wish I had.”

The tragedy of McCain’s life may not be his wartime incar-ceration nor his repeated battles with cancer. It may be, instead, that his worldview, and his view of America’s role in the world -- utterly conventional midcen-tury notions of national purpose melded with patriotism, the un-remarkable cliches of American Legion beef-and-beer nights and of Rotary chicken barbecues -- should have become remarkable statements of American identity and idealism.

Take this statement from his book:

“The moral values and integ-rity of our nation, and the long, difficult, fraught history of our efforts to uphold them at home and abroad, are the test of every American generation. Will we act in this world with respect for our founding conviction that all peo-ple have equal dignity in the eyes of God and should be accorded the same respect by the laws and governments of men? That is the most important question history ever asks of us. Answering in the affirmative by our actions is the highest form of patriotism, and we cannot do that without ac-cess to the truth.”

In another era, a passage like that would be considered color-less patriotic boilerplate rhetoric, the sort of Decoration Day pieties delivered by rote by House mem-bers home on congressional re-cess. In our era, it is a clarion call to turn to our better angels and to return to our founding values.

It was McCain’s role to remind us of that, and it was his resolve to continue, even in life-threaten-ing circumstances, to repeat his call to arms, to dedicate himself to what he called, in his book, “something more profound and dearer than a politician’s cam-paign slogan.”

The best way to honor him and mark his death may be to give life to that passage, to remember that the man who hurled chal-lenges like that paid a great price and emerged from his greatest test with the greatest faith, and with a selflessness that was in-vigorating to him and inspiring to his country.

by Lynda Balslev This apricot dessert is simple, fresh

and seasonal -- a golden rule of cook-ing, which is easy to follow when sum-mer produce is at its peak. It requires only a few ingredients that allow the sweet, ripe apricots to shine. Greek yogurt is used as a garnish, a won-drously rich yogurt that is naturally thick, creamy -- and healthy. For a jolt of oozing sweetness, a little sugar is sprinkled over each apricot half, which is bruleed until the sugar dissolves. As the apricots cook, the fruit will soften and virtually melt into itself, held to-gether by the soft skin, while caramel-ized sugar pools in the center. A dollop of whisked yogurt, lightly sweetened and brightened with lemon, is spooned over the top or to the side of the fruit -- you decide -- serving as a cool com-plement to the apricot’s warmth. It’s a luscious and fresh end to any meal. Your guests will be licking their plates.

Grilled Apricots With Yogurt and Lemon

Active time: 15 minutesTotal time: 15 minutesYield: 4 to 6 servings

1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar1/4 cup light brown sugar, plus extra for garnish6 ripe but not-too-soft apricots, halved lengthwise and pitted Canola oil for brushing3/4 cup Greek whole milk yogurt1/2 teaspoon fi nely grated fresh lemon zest, plus extra for garnish

Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat.

Mix the 1/4 cup sugar and the brown sugar in a small bowl.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the apricots with canola oil. Arrange the apricots, cut-side down, on the grill grates or in a grill pan. Grill until the apricots begin to color, about 2 min-utes. Flip the apricots and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over each half. Continue to grill until the centers are bubbly and beginning to caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide the apricots be-tween serving plates.

Whisk the yogurt, the 1 1/2 table-spoons sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon lem-on zest together in a small bowl. Spoon a little yogurt over each apricot half. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar and extra lemon zest for garnish.

SENSE & SENSITIVITYROOMMATE’S GIRLFRIEND IS TOO INVASIVE

by Harriette ColeDEAR HARRIETTE: I

live with two of my collegebuddies. We’ve been living to-gether for almost a year now,and things have gone smooth-ly because we are used to eachother. One of my buddies hasa girlfriend, and the other oneis dating around. Recently,he’s been seeing someone andhas brought her over a coupleof times. When he goes tosleep, she will come out andwatch TV with me in the liv-ing room. I didn’t think muchof it at first, but it’s starting toweird me out. She asks mepersonal and invasive ques-tions that I don’t answer. Afew times, I felt like she wascoming on to me. My buddy isstarting to get serious withthis girl, and I want to warnhim about my encounterswith her. Do you think it’sselfish of me to bring up someof the things I found alarm-ing? — Friend Found a NewGirl, Syracuse, New York

DEAR FRIEND FOUNDA NEW GIRL: I would startwith her. The next time shecomes out and starts thegrand inquisition, turn itaround on her. Ask her what’sup. Tell her you don’t under-stand why she’s trying to getin your business. Ask herwhat her intentions are withyour friend. Make it clear thatyou have his back and thatyou want to be sure she does,too. Ask her to stop with thequestions and stay in herlane.

Talk to your friend and lethim know that you have a fewdoubts about his girlfriend.Do not be an alarmist,though. Just tell him whatyou have experienced — in-cluding your talk with her.Give him space to be comfort-able staying with her if hechooses. Don’t be judgmental.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’m17, and I have always com-pared myself to my sistersand friends. My parents arehard on me about my weight.I’m normal-sized — not toothin, but not fat. I recently de-veloped an eating disorder. Ihave been seeing someoneabout it, but it hasn’t beenhelping. I know it doesn’t helpbecause I am still comparingmyself to my sisters, who arenaturally skinny. I can’t standlooking at Instagram andSnapchat and seeing all theseskinny girls. My parentsthink that I’m better and thatmy disorder has been con-trolled, but I’m not and it’snot. I don’t think it will evergo away. Am I ever going tofeel good in my skin? — Eat-ing Disorder, Shreveport,Louisiana

DEAR EATING DISOR-DER: Keep going to yourcounselor, and be as honest asyou can about what you aredoing and how you are feeling.Being compared to others canbe stressful and can push you

toward unhealthy behavior.I’m sorry that your parentsare making it harder for you,even unknowingly. Tell themthat you need their support,not their judgment about yourbody size. Stop looking at so-cial media and making un-healthy comparisons. Focuson your studies, and look tobuild friendships with posi-tive people. Don’t give up oncounseling. That can be yourlifeline to better health. If youfeel you need to talk to some-one immediately, there is ahelpline. Call 1-888-232-6949.For more information aboutdealing with eating disorders,visit bulimia.com/topics/eat-ing-disorder-hotline.

DEAR HARRIETTE: Iam a high school senior, and Ihave a sister who is a fresh-man. We were raised in a con-servative home with two lov-ing parents. My parents con-sidered me the “golden child”because I always got goodgrades and stayed out of trou-ble. My sister, on the otherhand, is the “black sheep.”She is rebellious, doesn’t dowell in school and is constant-ly in trouble. Coming intohigh school, she had a badreputation, and she hasn’tmade it any better for herselfthrough her actions this pastyear.

My parents are aware ofmy sister’s flunking grades,but I don’t think they are asaware of her actions. I don’twant to rat her out, but I dothink that she needs to calmdown because I’m starting toworry about her. Do you thinkthat I should have a talk withmy sister before I get my par-ents involved? — WorriedOlder Sister, Milwaukee

DEAR WORRIED OLD-ER SISTER: You should havean ongoing dialogue with yoursister. Don’t lecture her. Try tofind out what’s going on. Youalready represent everythingshe is not, so be mindful not toact like you’ve got it all to-gether. Instead, express yourconcern for her. Ask her whatshe wants to do with her lifeafter high school. Suggestthat she give that somethought so she can make aplan. You will be leaving in ayear, and you want her to beall right when you are gone.

If you suspect that she isinvolved in something that isdangerous or harmful, youshould tell your parents —even if you worry that she willget mad at you.

Joseph Washington

Joseph Washington, 6 3 , a n a t i v e o f Independence and resi-dent of Berwick, died

Sunday, Aug. 19, 2018, at his residence.

Visitation was today, 9-11 a.m., at Railroad A v e n u e Church of Christ in M o r g a n City.

He is sur-v ived by two daugh-t e r s , Shan i ta Evans o f Berwick and Kimberly Watts of Baton Rouge; two brothers, John Washington and David Washington Jr., both of Morgan City; five sisters, Brenda Ledet, Joyce Washington, Linda Riley a n d C e l e s t i n e Washington, al l o f Morgan City, and Dianne Hill of Amelia; four grandchildren; and a host of other relatives.

April 12, 1930- August 29, 2018Calvin Peter Alfred, 88, a resident of Patterson,

passed away Wednesday, August 29, 2018, surrounded by his loving family.

Calvin was born on April 12, 1930, in Morgan City, the son of William Joseph Alfred and Ida M. Loupe Alfred.

Calvin was a 4th Degree Knight and member of the Knights of Columbus Council #1373 and was a faithful parishioner of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Calvin served his country proudly as a member of the Louisiana National Guard; he is also a member of the American Legion. Calvin worked with his father at William Alfred and Son Plumbing from 1953 until his retirement in 1986. As a busi-ness owner he sponsored little league baseball for many years. He was an outdoors enthusiast who loved to go hunting and fishing and also loved to watch football, rooting for the New Orleans Saints and the LSU Tigers. He was the happiest when around friends and family or in his shop fixing things.

We are totally not sur-prised that his passing came on his favorite festi-val of all time, The Shrimp and Petroleum Festival. He and Laura, his wife of 65 years, enjoyed being in Lawrence Park and attend-ed every year, rain or shine, enjoying the music, Central Catholic ham-burgers, Sunday Mass in the park, and the Blessing of the Fleet. This will be a good landmark for us every year that the festival rolls around and for ma-ny years to come! He loved people-watching along with our mother by his side, they spoke to everyone and anyone, they never were afraid of making new friends. They taught us to always live with a good conscience, never stayed angry, laughed at the silliest things, and believe in your maker or as Calvin would say “The Man Upstairs.” He will always be a huge part of our hearts. We find comfort that he is now at rest with our mother and Jesus, who promises to wipe every tear from our eyes.

Thanks to all of you, who knew him and treated him with kindness. Also, thanks goes out to Mr. James Rink, a childhood friend, better known as Calvin’s shadow, a loyal friend indeed, and Journey Hospice for ushering us through a very tough time in our lives.

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by four children, Joy Alfred of Fairview, North Carolina, Calvin Andrew Alfred and Ginger Bonin of Morgan City, Joey Anthony Alfred of Morgan City and Mary Ann Alfred and partner Cimaron LeFlore of Patterson; four grandchildren, Jaci Alfred, Kasey Kyprianou, Jesse Bell and Dayna Miller; and three sisters, Margaret Holt of Berwick, Ida Mae Percle and hus-band R.J. of Morgan City and Linda Bitely and hus-band Truman of Bucksport, Maine.

Calvin was preceded in death by his parents, William and Ida Loup Alfred; his wife, Laura Bonin Alfred; five brothers, William “Bill” Alfred Jr., Callan Alfred, Bernie Alfred, Norris Alfred and Edward Alfred; and one sister, Judy Alfred Aucoin.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 2018, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Freddie Decal cele-brating Mass. A visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 2018, at Twin City Funeral Home. Following Mass, Calvin will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery Mausoleum with Military Honors rendered by the East St. Mary Veterans Funeral Squad.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to the Shriners Hospital for Children, 3100 Samford Ave., Shreveport, LA 71103.

April 7, 1924- August 29, 2018Mary Chaisson Michel, 94, a resident of Morgan

City, passed away Wednesday, August 29, 2018 at Morgan City Health Care Center surrounded by her loving family.

Mary was born on April 7, 1924, in Kraemer, the daugh-ter of Ellis and Noelie Cortez Chaisson.

She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of Morgan City Health Care Center and Journey Hospice for the wonderful, loving care they gave to Mary.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at noon on Saturday, September 1, 2018, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Freddie Decal celebrating the Mass. A visitation will be held from 10:30 a.m. until Mass time. Following Mass, Mary will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery Mausoleum.

July 12, 1934-August 28, 2018Gerald Joseph Albares, a native and former long-

time resident of Patterson and most recently a resi-dent of Baton Rouge, passed away at the age of 84 on Tuesday, August 28, 2018, at St. Joseph Hospice ’s Carpenter House in Baton Rouge.

Gerald was outgoing, adventurous and spirited. His love of travel took him to many corners of the globe including New Zealand, Austra l ia , Europe and Canada. He was a military veteran, honorably discharged in 1959, and stationed in Germany during part of his U.S. Army enlist-ment. Gerald’s love of his own country took him to nearly every state in the U.S. From visits to the nation’s capital, annual hunting trips in Wyoming, and a month-long drive from Louisiana to Alaska, he saw and experienced the U.S. on a grand scale. While he cultivated friends from many places, he never lost touch with his old friends and the town of Patterson, his birth-place, where he spent his youth and most of his adult life.

A true man of God, Gerald served faithfully as an altar server in his youth and later as a Eucharistic minister, lector and usher at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Patterson and Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Baton Rouge. He always placed the needs of others before his own and treasured the time he spent with his daughters and his two grandchildren.

He was an exceptionally hard worker who lived by the motto “you’ve always got to have a game-plan,” often having each hour of his day planned out. He spent his entire working career with Southern Natural Gas Co. in Patterson. After retir-ing, he worked for the LA Office of Disciplinary Council in Baton Rouge where he remained active until the age of 83.

Gerald was an avid sportsman who played multi-ple sets of tennis each week, well into his late 70’s. He participated in multiple U.S. senior Olympic Games, medaling in tennis, and he also enjoyed golf, cycling, fitness, hunting and camping. He was an avid fan of the New Orleans Saints and LSU football and baseball. He enjoyed frying fish for the family, and loved to finish the day with good con-versation and a cold beer.

Those he leaves to cherish his memory include his daughters, Cindy Albares Vinning and her hus-band Lance, and Patty Albares Bayles and her hus-band Nathaniel; two grandchildren, Joseph Lance Vinning and Mary Caroline Vinning; as well as nu-merous nieces, nephews and family members.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara “Bobbie” Landry Albares; his parents, Acniel Antoine Albares and Eunice Marie Tabor Albares; and one sister, Juanita Albares Shearing.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Saturday, September 1st, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Patterson beginning at 9:00 a.m. with a Mass of Christian Burial being celebrated at 11:00 a.m. Following Mass, he will be laid to rest in St. Joseph Cemetery. Father Angelo Cremaldi will be the Celebrant for the Mass and conduct the ser-vices.

Serving as pallbearers will be Lance Vinning, Joseph Vinning, Nathaniel Bayles, Charles Plattsmier, Christopher Plattsmier and Dr. Robert Adams. Honorary pallbearers will be Clyde Aucoin, James Vining, Dennis Taylor, Bob Watson, Jerry Boyles, Frank Guarisco, Frank Cali and Billy Marin.

Capital preparesto say goodbyeto John McCain

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s Washington’s turn to say goodbye to the late Sen. John McCain. And McCain is saying farewell — his way.

T h e s i x - t e r m Republican senator, who lived and worked in na-tion’s capital over four de-cades, will lie in state un-der the U.S. Capitol ro-tunda Friday for a cere-mony and public visita-tion. On Saturday, McCain’s procession pauses by the Vietnam Memorial and heads for Washington National Cathedral for a formal fu-neral service. At McCain’s request, two former presi-dents — Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush — are expected to speak there.

People close to the White House and McCain’s fami-

ly said President Donald Trump, who has mocked McCain for getting cap-tured during the Vietnam War, has been asked to stay away from all events.

McCain’s funeral puts him back in the spotlight a few miles from Trump’s doorstep, in the city where the senator, who died Saturday at 81, worked and collected friends and enemies — and some peo-ple were both at different times. The procession is expected to continue high-lighting what McCain found important, some of which contrasts with Trump’s style and priori-ties.

Vice President Mike Pence will speak at the Capitol ceremony Friday, and other officials will rep-resent the administration in Trump’s hard-to-miss absence.

LAGCOE 2019 will be moved out of Lafayette

By ADAM DAIGLEThe Advocate

The Louisiana Gulf Coast Oil Exposition will move its annual event to New Orleans next year after 65 years in Lafayette.

Officials cited the potential for growth and increased participation for moving LAGCOE 2019 to the Ernest Morial Convention Center next October, rather than holding it in the Cajundome. The bi-ennial oil industry expo has been a main-stay in Lafayette, dating back to 1953 when it was held in a parking lot of the Petroleum Club.

The expo is a three-day gathering that provides a platform for innovators in the oil and gas industry to showcase technol-ogy, equipment and services to local busi-nesses. At its peak, it featured represen-tatives from 49 states, 40 countries and 17,000 attendees.

“The decision to host LAGCOE 2019 in New Orleans is rooted in our mission to cultivate economic growth in the energy industry by facilitating domestic and global business development,” LAGCOE

board Chairman Greg Stutes said in a statement. “A significantly larger venue will accommodate more exhibitors and an even larger attendee base. This promotes growth, diversity, and develops even more connections among Louisiana’s energy in-dustry.”

LAGCOE officials said they remain committed to Lafayette and will retain its offices and staff in the city. It will contin-ue to develop innovative programs for its members and offer scholarships to high school students.

Cajundome diretor Greg Davis said he heard the organization was considering the move but “didn’t know it had gotten to this point until earlier today.”

“We have been very fortunate to have had LAGCOE for 20-plus years at the Cajundome,” Davis said. “We’ve been very, very appreciative of the partnership we’ve had with LAGCOE. It was a great impact on the Cajundome and the greater community of Lafayette. It will create a void, but we will have to revisit our finan-cials and have other businesses replace it.”

School will begin the Chris Stroud-era for a second time when it hits the field this sea-son under the veteran coach.

Stroud, who coached the Tigers from 2001-2004, will return to the Morgan City sidelines this season after he was hired this summer following the resigna-t i o n o f F e r r a n t e Dominique in June. Dominique had been hired in January to re-place Eric Howard, who was not retained after a one-year stint coach-ing the Tigers.

Stroud said that the community, the players and the administration are excited about the upcoming season.

“I still do not have

enough players, and that’s the honest facts, but the kids that I have are working very hard and they’re doing all t h e r i g h t t h i n g s , ” Stroud said earlier this month. “We’re just defi-cient in a few areas, and we don ’t have enough bodies in a few areas for depth for when you get into a game and you have in-juries.”

As of early August, Stroud said he had about 37 players show-ing up consistently.

“We’re improving,” Stroud said. “We’re get-ting better.”

However, he said there is still a lot of work to do.

In addition to his head coaching duties, Stroud will serve as the team’s defensive coordi-nator and coach special teams and linebackers.

Assisting Stroud this season will be Andrew Madden, offensive coor-dinator; Hunter Perrin, offensive line; Chris Brown, running backs; Duriel Singleton, wide receivers; Jason Viator, defensive l ine; Josh Grizzaffi, strong safe-ties and special teams; Terence McCutcheon, secondary; and Tim Vidos, linebackers.

OffenseMorgan City will run

a spread, shotgun look like they did in 2017 but they also will uti-lize some Wing T prin-ciples in the run game off of the shotgun look. Sometimes, the squad will line up in a Wing T look with a tight end and a wing.

“ I ’ve got a few friends who have had some success running that type of offense. … It really fits our kids,” Stroud said. “The mis-direction fits our kids.”

QuarterbackMorgan City’s Tate

Alcina, Khai Hartley and Chris Pitre are battling for the quar-terback job this presea-son.

“Some of them look good throwing the ball a little better,” Stroud said. “Some of them look good running the running game a little better. Some of them look good just taking the leadership of the of-fense, so they all have their strengths and weaknesses.”

Alcina completed 15 of 33 passes for 298 yards with two touch-downs and one inter-ception.

Devonta Grogan also

will see some time at quarterback in a wild-cat role. Grogan was a s e c o n d - t e a m A l l -District 7-4A selection as an athlete a year ago. He led the team with 55 carries for 260 yards and two scores a year ago.

Running BackNoah Sierra Mitchell

Mancuso and Dylan Tingle are who the coaching staff is look-ing at in the fullback position.

“They’re fighting for the fullback position,” Stroud said. “They all do it well. They’re not g r e a t s p e e d g u y s . They’re blockers. They hi t the hole hard . They’ll give us some yards. They’re tough kids.”

Nathaniel Campbell is also working at full-back.

Slot BackThe Tigers have been

w o r k i n g H a y d e n B a r r o n , W i l l i a m L a R o c c a , G r o g a n , C a m p b e l l , A h m a d Hawkins and Z ion Landry at the slot back position.

Wide Receiver The Tigers’ wide re-ce iver op t i ons are Deondre Grogan, Jhai Robinson, Cade Mills, Justice Perou and Taaj Delaune. Deondre Grogan led the team with 21 recep-tions for 520 yards and four scores in 2017.

Tight EndMaurice Mitchel l ,

Hartley (if he isn’t the starting quarterback) and Landry are among those working at tight end.

Offensive Line

The team’s starting tackles will be Garrett Deshotel and Austin Deshotel, while Garrett Aucoin will be Morgan City’s center. Several players are battling for the team’s two guard p o s i t i o n s . K y t r e l l Grogan and Cesar Lorenzo are options along with Brandon Jones and Andrew Williams. Jones and Will iams wil l share time at a guard posi-tion and not be full-time starters because they also play on de-fense.

Others being looked at in fall camp were Chr is Pre jean and Zachary Allemond.

DefenseThe Tigers will run a

3-3 stack but will ad-just to the looks offens-es give them.

“So we end up play-ing a lot of 50 defense, but we’re going to play some cover 2, some cov-er 3,” Stroud said.

Defensive LineStroud says he likes

h is de fens ive l ine , which features Jones, Jeremiah Rink and Williams, who all are returning starters.

“I ’m impressed by them,” Stroud said. “They ’ re not huge . Brandon’s a bigger kid. The other two are not huge . They ’ re jus t tough, quick kids. Good football players.”

LinebackerStroud said Noah

Sierra and Mancuso, who he said both have elevated their play, likely will be starters, but he has to find a third option.

Others working at

l i n e b a c k e r a r e Campbell and Hartley.

Gone from a year ago, due to graduation, is s e c o n d - t e a m A l l -District 7-4A selection Morrquise Charles.

SecondaryMart in , Hawkins ,

Perou and Mills all are fighting for the strong safety position.

LaRocca will be the team’s free safety.

“He’s really taken charge of the second-ary,” Stroud said of LaRocca. “He’s a leader on defense. He’s not a big kid, but he’s a ball-player.”

Pitre also is learning the free safety position, Stroud said.

Devonta Grogan and Deondre Grogan are the team’s two starting c o r n e r b a c k s , w h i l e Alcina and Delaune are backups.

Special TeamsAndy Rangel likely

will be the team’s PAT/field goal kicker.

Sierra l ikely wi l l handle the team’s put-ting duties, and Rangel is working there, too.

Stroud said earlier this month he still is looking for someone to handle kickoffs but Rangel was handling the job at the moment.

In the deep snapper position, the Tigers have Tingle , whi le LaRocca also will han-dle the role on extra points.

The Tigers’ return g a m e w i l l f e a t u r e D e o n d r e G r o g a n , D e v o n t a G r o g a n , Barron, Delaune and Mancuso.

In District 7-4A ac-tion, Morgan City will face E.D. White, South Te r r e b o n n e , S o u t h Lafourche, Ellender, Vandebilt Catholic and Assumption.

Stroud said he is fa-miliar with Morgan City’s district, having faced the opponents be-fore.

“They play good foot-ball down the bayou down there, so we’ve got our work cut out for us when we get to dis-trict,” Stroud said. “I don’t think with the numbers that we have, I’m ready to make any kind of predictions. It’s going to be a battle. It’s going to be tough, and that’s the reality.”

The Tigers open the season at Berwick on Aug. 31.

School’s football team en-ters the 2018 season with a ton of experience returning from a young squad a year ago.

The Eagles return 14 ju-niors who received a lot of playing time a year ago, and the team’s seven se-niors all are experienced, Central Catholic Coach Tommy Minton.

“We feel like we’re a much more experienced team coming into this sea-son than we were last year, and you see that on the practice field,” Minton said. “You saw that with the work ethic and the work habits this summer and you see it through fall camp so far up to this peri-od. We’re a year older. We’re a year stronger. We’re a year wiser, and all of that has showed so far.”

Among the returnees are nine first- or sec-ond-team All-District 7-1A selections.

The squad’s coaching staff also returns intact and will add a new mem-ber in veteran coach Bill Harris. Harris, who Minton said spent 20 years as a head coach in Georgia, also served as Minton’s de-fensive coordinator at Patterson High School. Minton said Harris and Corey Brodie will serve as co-defensive coordinators.

“He’s just a very veteran set of eyes that can lend a lot of experience to us,” Minton said of Harris.

Harris also will coach in-side linebackers, while Brodie also will coach the secondary and wide receiv-ers.

Other members of the Eagles coaching staff are Coby Minton, offensive line and offensive coordinator; Trey Smith, outside line-backers and H-backs; Terrance Johnson, quarter-backs; Bryson Barbier, tight ends and secondary; and David Irwin, defensive line and offensive line. In addition to his head coach-ing duties, Minton will handle special teams.

OffenseThe Eagles will use mul-

tiple formations this year, utilizing a tight end and an H-back. The team also will line up in spread forma-tions, too.

QuarterbackSenior DeDe Gant will

take over at quarterback for the Eagles this year.

Gant, who started at quar-terback as a sophomore af-ter then-senior Blake Byrne was injured, will re-turn to the position after earning first-team All-District 7-1A honors as a wide receiver a year ago.

“He can do a lot of things with his legs,” Minton said. “He’s a very good athlete, but I think people underes-timate his ability to throw the football. He throws the ball really well.”

J u n i o r T a y l o r Blanchard, who received extensive playing time a year ago, also will get plen-ty of reps at quarterback.

“We’re going to have packages for Taylor every week,” Minton said.

A year ago, Blanchard completed 46 of 91 passes for 816 yards with eight touchdowns and 12 inter-ceptions

Other players working at quarterback are fresh-man Freddie Calloway and junior Ryan Miller.

Running BackWhile the Eagles must

replace Class 1A All-State running back Chris Singleton, who rushed for 1,500 yards a year ago, Minton said likes what he has at running back this year.

“One of the reasons we’re going to be so multi-ple in our sets is because I feel really good about the number of guys we got that can carry the football,” Minton said.

Davidyione Bias, who played at quarterback a year ago, will move back to running back to lead the group. Bias was a sec-ond-team All-District 7-1A selection a season ago.

“He’s a workhorse from last year,” Minton said of Bias. “He played quarter-back, but he was a running quarterback. He had never played quarterback before. We put him there to try to take advantage of his ath-letic ability, but we’re put-ting him back in a position he’s comfortable with at running back.”

In 2017, Bias rushed 145 times for 730 yards and seven touchdowns.

Other Eagles at running back are junior Philip Guarisco, sophomore Hugh Hamer, senior Hunter Daigle, freshman Kye Morgel and sophomore Dayshon Pete.

“We’re very, very deep at the running back position,” Minton said. “All of those kids I feel like could get us out of a ball game, that I

could depend on giving the ball to them multiple times.”

H-BackJunior Nathan Hebb,

who started for the Eagles at tight end a year ago, along with senior Dakota Lux, a Morgan City High School transfer who origi-nally began high school at Central Catholic, will man the h-back position. Hebb was a first-team All-District 7-1A performer at tight end a year ago.

“They’re both tall, ath-letic kids that can move,” Minton said. “We’ll be able to use them, move them around at different posi-tions to give us multiple formation looks.”

Minton said Hebb and Lux are good blockers and can catch the ball.

A year ago, Hebb caught seven passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

Wide ReceiverSenior Brooks Thomas

and junior Grant Stansbury will be the team’s receivers in their base offense.

When the team gets into a four-wide receiver set, Miller and senior Bryce Grizzaffi will man the slot receiver positions.

“All four of those guys are athletic kids,” Minton said.

In 2017, Thomas had 13 receptions for 164 yards and two scores.

Gone from last year’s team due to graduation is second-team All-District 7-1A receiver Cade Minton.

Tight EndSophomore Caleb

Menina who received play-ing time at tight end a year ago, will man the position this season, while sopho-more Zach Bennett also will receive reps.

Offensive LineThe Eagles will return

four starting offensive line-man this season.

“If there’s one area you want experience, it’s offen-sive line, no doubt about it, and I feel good that those guys are back,” Minton said. “There’s a lot of conti-nuity there. They’re a close group. They mesh together. Coby does a good job with those guys of creating a culture where they have the right chemistry (and) they have the right atti-tude it takes to be an offen-sive lineman.”

The returning starters are juniors Michael-Anthony Hill and Grant Cheramie at the tackle po-sitions and junior guard Kaden Scott and senior guard Cade Booty. Austin Austin Ganaway, the new starter on the line, will be the team’s center.

Scott, Booty and Hill all were second-team All-District 7-1A offensive line-men a year ago.

Korey Kincaid, who started on the offensive line a year ago before mov-ing to defense this season, will see some time on of-fense still in 2018. Parker Nelson, a Crowley High transfer who is Central Catholic’s starting nose guard this season, also will play on the offensive line when the Eagles utilize un-balanced looks.

DefenseThe Eagles will run out

of a 3-4 look this season.“At times, that’ll morph

into a 5-2 where we play some man coverage, and at times it’ll be a true 3-4 with some cover 4 zone behind

it,” Minton said.Defensive Line

While among the Eagles’ losses from a year ago were first-team All-District 7-1A defensive lineman Ethan Whittington and sec-ond-team All-District 7-1A defensive lineman Dominic Skipper, Minton said he feels his team has depth on the line this season.

Nelson will be the team’s starting nose guard

“Parker’s a big kid,” Minton said. “He trans-ferred in. His family moved here from Crowley in the spring, and he’s been a big addition for us.”

At defensive end, Kincaid will start at one position, while they have four players — sophomore Bently Alcina, junior Aiden DeHart and freshmen Drayton Keller and Dylan Cornes — who will play at the other position.

“We got some guys we can keep some people fresh, and it’s a position of strength for us I feel like,” Minton said.

LinebackerGone from the Eagles’

linebacking corps a year ago is all-state linebacker Cooper LeBlanc.

However, Hebb, the team’s second-leading tackler a year ago, returns. He will play inside line-backer. Lux also will play inside linebacker and at outside linebacker, too. When Lux isn’t at inside linebacker, sophomore Ethan Majewski and Bennett will hold down the other inside linebacker spot.

“We got four guys there that we feel good about,” Minton said.

The Eagles will be look-ing to Guarisco and J.C. Hebert at the outside line-backer positions, while Pete and Morgel are pen-ciled in behind the start-ers.

“They give us a good mix of experience (and) athletic ability there,” Minton said, noting the quartet can be utilized as edge rushers or in zone coverage.

SecondaryDaigle, a first-team All-

District 7-1A linebacker a year ago, will play a “free

safety hybrid” role this year, Minton said, explain-ing that Daigle could be lined up in the box as a linebacker would or he could play free safety.

“I think what we have him doing this year suits his athletic ability and suits what he can do to help us,” Minton said.

Calloway also will re-ceive a lot of playing time in this role, too, Minton said.

Grizzaffi, a second-team All-District 7-1A defensive back a year ago, will play strong safety.

“He’s had a great sum-mer, and he had a ton of interceptions in 7-on-7 this summer,” Minton said. “I think he’s primed for a big year.”

Miller also will be used at the two safety positions as well as at cornerback.

At cornerback, Gant will see time, especially against spread offenses, while ju-nior Khyre Willis also will p lay corner back. F r e s h m a n C a r t e r

By CORWIN MURRAYPatterson High School’s

senior football players hav-en’t had the traditional four-year run of most classes, playing under the fourth head coach in as many years.

So first-year Patterson High School Principal Lane Larive had a check list when he went looking for the Lumberjacks’ fourth coach in five seasons. Needless to say, Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame Coach Don Jones fit the bill.

Jones is one of the state’s all-time winningest coaches with a career mark of 233-151-3.

He has coached at

Woodlawn, Plaqu-emine, Wisner, Sterlington, Crowley and Winnfield. He spent a season at Morgan City High School as an as-sistant coach before taking over as the Berwick Junior High School coach for the last three seasons.

Despite the coaching turnover in recent years, Jones said it’s hard to tell by the players’ work ethic.

“We came in and got back to playing Patterson football,” Jones said. “We will be physical and make teams fear the black hats again.”

Patterson was 6-5 last season but extended the ‘Jacks’ long playoff streak.

Offensively, Patt-erson returns Dajon Richard, one of the state’s most dynamic players. Richard, a first-team All-District 8-3A quarterback and honorable mention Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A All-State pick a year ago, had 154 carries for 1,142 yards rushing with 10 touchdowns last season. The University of Texas at San Antonio commit had 19 receptions for 563 yards and six scores, too. He also was forced to play quarter-back, completing 25 of 52 passes for 446 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions.

“Randy Paul will be the starter at quarterback after an up and down season last year, because he had inju-ries.” Jones said. “Louis Jones, a sophomore, will be the backup.”

Paul was 59-of-99 pass-ing for 941 yards with 10 touchdowns and five inter-ceptions a year ago.

“And of course when you special athlete like Dajon (Richard), you’re going to get him some time at quar-terback,” Jones said. “We have packages for him at quarterback that’s going to drive defenses crazy.”

While Patterson must re-place the contributions of first-team All-District 8-3A running back Dontre Nicholas, who now is at Louisiana College, Richard will lead the ground game this year. James Butler and Tae Hayes will relieve him. Allen Langston is another option in the back field, and freshman Mark Hilliard al-

so may carry the football. “We have a host of guys

we can plug in back there,” Jones said.

Kai Schexnayder returns at one receiver spot, while A.J. Robertson will be at the other.

Schexnayder had 14 catches for 205 yards and a score last season.

Kyler Paul and Elijah Williams also will see play-ing time in a backup role.

“Kyler Paul is a fresh-man, but he looked really good catching the football summer,” the longtime coach said. “He is a pretty good running back, but we need him to help us at re-ceiver this year. We have some weapons. It’s a shame we only have one football.”

While the Lumberjacks must replace first-team All-District 8-3A offensive line-man Zach Burke, who moved on to Lawrence University in Wisconsin and second team All-District 8-3A selection Brad Beaubouef, standout Javin Turner, a second-team All-District 8-3A selection a season ago, leads this year’s veteran offensive line.

“Javin is going to be a D-1 player,” Jones said. “He’s one of strongest kids we have in the weight room, and he has great feet. He can really run for a kid that size.”

Seniors Austin Harden and Tron’Yonte Clark also are returning starters. Expect to see Isiah Gant, James Gash, Nasere Washington, Gage Stelly, Christian Johnson, Jarvis Jackson and Brady

Richardson all rotating in on the offensive line.

“We will play with tight ends,” Jones said. “I don’t think they played with one last season. Irvin Celestine will play there or go out-side, his a hard cover any team because of his size and speed.”

Celestine, a second-team All-District 8-3A wide re-ceiver a year ago, had 20 re-ceptions for 385 yards and five touchdowns as a junior.

Langston also will see time at tight end. He had 39 carries for 138 yards and score out the backfield last year. Senior Ben Allen and freshman Jonathan Picou also will see playing time at tight end.

“We are mainly an I-formation team, but we al-so have multiple formations to take advantage of our athletes,” Jones said. “I be-lieve in running the football first, but I will do whatever it takes to win the game.”

Defensively, Patt-erson will hang its hat on a big, aggressive defensive line.

“The size we have up-front will be a problem for the average team,” Jones said. “We will roll them in to keep them fresh because most will play on the offen-sive line, too, but Javin (Turner) and James Gash can dominate the middle.”

Also expect to see J.B. Brown in the defensive line rotation.

Nasere Washington, Christian Johnson and Brady Richardson will ro-tate at defensive end.

Gone from last year’s team due to graduation is

Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A honor-able mention All-State pick DeAndre Diggs. Diggs, also a first-team All-District 8-3A pick, signed with Louisiana College.

The ‘Jacks’ return inside linebackers Treylon Bennett and Allen. Bennett was a first-team All-District 8-3A selection a year ago.

“That’s set in stone,” Jones said. “Those guys are football players. I think Treylon (Bennett) is a D-1 football player, also.”

The outside linebackers are R.J. Talver and Telvae Phillips.

“They both have good size and run sideline to sideline,” Jones said.

Sophomore Brandon Boutte also will see time at outside linebacker.

Gone due to graduation is Jaylon Jennings, a sec-ond-team All-District 8-3A linebacker a year ago.

The ‘Jacks’ secondary starts with Butler at free safety. Jones calls him the secondary’s quarterback.

Tae Haynes and Williams will start at cor-nerback.

“I think our defense can be dominate and keep us in most ball games,” Jones said. “We have a lot of speed on our defense.”

Jose Rivera will be the kicker this season, while Richard will punt for the second straight season. Richard also will be the pri-mary kick returner.

Patterson will open its 2018 season Friday when it travels to face Franklin in a 7 p.m. contest.

alum Zachary Burke has had a big adjustment as he has ventured into the col legiate game at Division III Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Not only has he had to learn a new playbook, but he also is 17.5 hours away from home.

After a week of camp, though, he said earlier this month he was pick-ing up on the plays.

“It’s a whole new of-fense that I’m trying to learn, but within the first week, I feel like I’m get-ting it,” he said.

One positive has been the weather, as he said that it is “more of a dry heat” in Wisconsin, whereas in Louisiana, it was humid. He said he

prefers the dry heat be-cause there is much less humidity in Wisconsin, meaning it feels like what the actual tempera-ture is, whereas in Louisiana, the humidity makes it feel hotter than it actually is.

Burke, a center in high school, was working on the offensive line, mostly at guard, and some at tackle and center in the first week of fall camp.

“Our coach is just try-ing to get the best con-nection with five offen-sive linemen, so he’s been ro tat ing everybody around,” Burke said.

After the first week of camp, Burke said he was in the starting lineup at guard and had been working as a sec-ond-team tackle.

“I’m trying to fight to keep this starting spot that they have me in

right now,” he said.In the trenches, he

naturally is facing ele-vated play by defenders.

“They’re quicker,” Burke said. “They’re more physical. They defi-nitely give you a good challenge whenever we go out to practice.”

However, that chal-lenge is something Burke, a first-team All-District 8-3A offensive lineman in 2017, wanted.

In 2017, Lawrence University finished 2-8, while they were 1-4 in Midwest Conference play. It ended the season on a two-game losing streak.

Lawrence’s wins came against Finlandia (27-22) and Beloit (49-13).

It averaged 15.1 points a game a year ago and 255.9 yards a contest (149.1 rushing and 106.8 passing).

The NCAA Division III school competes in the Midwest Conference.

Burke said that he was told this year’s team is bigger than last year.

“I feel we actually have a chance to make a run, compete with other teams this year,” Burke said, noting the team has depth in every position.

Burke said his goal this year is to “flip this program around.”

While obviously the goal is to win the Midwest Conference and Division III national championship, the team must take things must slower.

“Let’s take it one game at a time and actually win more games this sea-son,” Burke said.

Lawrence University opens its season at home S a t u r d a y a g a i n s t Grinnell.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart gave mentor Nick Saban and Alabama a run for their money in the national champion-ship game — and did it again in the offseason.

Smart brought in the nation’s top recruiting class and stayed on point with Saban-like messages about guard-ing against complacen-cy and embracing the pressure of high expec-

tations while dismiss-ing potential as “dor-mant ability.”

“We can’t allow com-placency to slip into our program and slip into our staff because I know that will eat away at the core fundamen-tals that we started to believe,” Smart said during Southeastern Conference media days.

Clearly a sentiment Saban would endorse.

Alabama and defend-ing SEC champion

Georgia could very well be on a collision course for a championship again, though it’s more likely to be a meeting in the league title game this time. The Tide didn’t win the West last season after falling to Auburn in the regu-lar-season finale.

The Crimson Tide ap-proaches the season widely regarded as the favorite to win a sixth national title in the last decade. That overtime

win over his former de-fensive coordinator ’s team did leave Saban with a months-long quarterback controver-sy: Heralded champion-ship game hero Tua Tagovailoa vs. two-year starter Jalen Hurts .

But neither mentor nor star pupil wanted their teams dwelling on that game or last season.

“We ’ re constant ly looking for the next edge...” Smart said.

Saban’s message to

his team: “Forget about what happened last year.”

The league welcomes five new head coaches, including Saban disci-ples Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and Jeremy Pruitt at Tennessee. Fisher returned to his SEC Western Division roo ts f rom Flor ida State after past stints at LSU and Auburn with a 10-year, $75 million deal .

The primary SEC

West chal lenger to Alabama might be de-f e n d i n g c h a m p i o n Auburn, which returns quarterback Jarrett Stidham and has one of the league’s most tal-ented defensive lines. But Fisher’s Aggies re-turn 15 starters and Mississippi State has 17 back.

South Carolina and Dan Mullen’s Florida seem the most likely to challenge Georgia in the East.

Alabama, Georgia could be on an SEC collision course again

Berwick High School lost two of the state’s best receivers to col-lege football, but the cupboard is far from empty in 2018.

First, Berwick hired Mike Walker as head coach and athletic di-rector in February to replace Eric Holden, who resigned after two seasons. Walker, 29, comes to Berwick after spending the past four seasons as defensive c oord inator o f the Va n d e b i l t C a t h o l i c football team. The for-mer Nichol ls State linebacker also has two years of experience as a Nicholls graduate as-sistant.

On the field, gone are Class 3A All-State re-ceivers Kenan Jones (LSU) and Josh Carver (Southeastern ) and their combined 117 re-c e p t i o n s f o r 2 , 3 4 3 yards and 30 touch-downs in 2017.

But, standout quar-t e r b a c k M i t c h e l l Sanford, an LSU base-

ball commitment, re-turns after a huge ju-nior season where he completed 164-of-332 passes for 2,951 yards with 37 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He a lso rushed 86 times for 597 yards and seven touchdowns.

“He has as much arm talent as I have ever seen,” Walker said. “He can really, really throw the football, and I’m amazed at how fast he’s picked up the new of-fense. He ’s special . He’s very talented.”

Sanford earned sec-ond-team All-District 8-3A honors a year ago as well as Louisiana S p o r t s W r i t e r s Association Class 3A honorable mention All-State recognition.

S a n f o r d w i l l b e backed up by freshman Brett Bearb.

“Brett can really run, and we are going to get him in on some of our z o n e r e a d s t u f f , ” Walker said. “And he has a pretty good arm, too. He’s one of the bet-ter athletes in that

freshman class , for sure.”

Highly-regarded run-ning back Josh Jones returns to lead the Panthers’ ground game. Jones, a second-team All-District 8-3A run-ning back a year ago, rushed 167 times for 1,256 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2017.

“Josh will get the bulk of the carries this season,” Walker said. “He is a very, very tal-ented young man who can run inside and out. He’s very strong, an ab-solute freak in the weight room and very coachable. He wants to be the best he can be.”

H a y d e n S e n e c a , Kylon Garrison and Rustin Ratcliff all will be in the mix at run-ning back, too.

“Hayden wi l l ge t some carries, but he will be more of a full-back,” Walker said.

The Panthers’ start-ing receiving corps will be Hunter Landry and Keyon Singleton on the outside, while Barrett Hover, Seth Canty and

Reed Gonzalez are the team’s slot receivers.

“Hunter probably has the best hands and runs the best routes of the group, but Keyon and Barrett are a little more of a home run threat,” Walker said.

Hunter Seneca will be the starting tight end.

“Hunter has good hands, and he runs good routes, too, and Mitchell feels comfort-able throwing the foot-ball to him,” Walker said.

Returning s tarter Noah Alhayek will lead the offensive line at center, while James Crawford , Matthew L e g e n d r e , Tr i s t a n McGonagill, Timothy Soudel ier and Seth Giroir will join him.

“All of these guys got a lot of playing the last two seasons, so we have a bunch of experi-ence on the offensive line,” Walker said.

William Skinner and Grant Hebert also will see time on the offen-sive line.

Berwick will remain a spread offense in 2018.

“Obviously, when you have a quarterback that can throw it like ours can, we’re going to spread people out but with the intent of get-ting the ball to Josh Jones,” Walker said. “We are going to spread people out to run the footbal l , and that ’s been the tone of pre-season practice, being physical. We demand as coaches that our kids are physical so we can establish the line of scrimmage and run the football.”

Defensively, a young defensive line may be key this season.

Cruz Crawford and Alhayek will be the s t a r t i n g d e f e n s i v e ends, while Drayvan B r y a n , J a m e s Crawford, Legendre and Soudelier will ro-ta te in a t ta ck le . Landon Harris and Bailey Thibodeaux also will see playing time at defensive end.

“We’ve been trying to get them as many reps as we can,” Walker said. “They have cer-tainly improved since we’ve been working with them, and that’s important because we will have a lot of those guys going both ways. They need to know what we need them to do, technique-wise, on offense and defense.”

R a t c l i f f , H a y d e n Seneca, Parker Bran and Garrison are the starting linebackers.

“This group has been so coachable because when we started our 7-on-7 this summer, they were struggling to grasp what I wanted them to do in our cov-erages, and they have come a long way, ” Walker said. “They’re

now setting the tone for our defense.”

Cornerbacks will be Jones, Singleton and Landry, while the safe-ties are Hover, Blake Pennison and Ethan Nguyen.

Hover, a first-team All-District 8-3A selec-t ion and Louis iana S p o r t s W r i t e r s Association Class 3A Honorable Mention All-State pick a year ago, is on college football programs’ radar after a stellar junior season.

“He just a football player,” Walker said. “He has a natural feel for getting to the foot-ball, and what’s good about him is he wants to know why his as-signment is what it is. He’s a student of the game, and he just en-joys playing the game.”

In 2017, Hover col-lected 97 tackles, in-cluding 12 for loss. He had one sack, one in-terception and caused two fumbles.

Among the defensive backfield losses from a year ago a re se c -ond-team All-District 8-3A defensive back Lucas Hatch.

Berwick ’s de fense will run what Walker calls a hybrid 4-2-5 or a 3-4 scheme.

“I’m a 3-4 guy, but they already had that 4-2-5, so I added some of my 3-4 stuff to their 4-2-5,” Walker said. “I think the guys have it down.”

Seth Canty, a first-team All-District 8-3A selection a year ago, will be the Panther ’s k i cker and punter, while Jones, Hover and Singleton will be the primary kick/punt re-turners.

Berwick will open the regular season Aug. 31 at home against Berwick.

standout Daylon Charlot continues to struggle for playing time at the University of Kansas.

The junior receiver is not l i s ted on the Jayhawks’ two-deep depth charts heading in-to 2018 season.

Charlot was a top-rat-ed wide receiver nation-ally and was selected to participate in the Under Armour All-America Game in 2014. He was ranked No. 59 in the ESPN300, No. 78 in the Rivals100 and the No. 2 player in Louisiana.

Charlot earned 2014 3A All-State honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association after catching 30 passes for 711 yards and 14 touchdowns, and in 2013 he was a Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-State choice after catching 48 passes for 1,055 yards and 16 touchdowns.

He chose to attend the University of Alabama out of high school. Charlot played in five games and caught two passes for nine yards with the Crimson Tide in 2015.

Charlot sat out the 2016 season, per NCAA rules, after transferring to Kansas, a struggling program.

Charlot said he was excited to touch the field and make an impact at the start of last season.

“I used the year off to better myself,” he said at the time. “I learned the offense, worked out and got in my books. It wasn’t like I was going crazy be-cause I couldn’t play in the games. But yeah, I’m ready to show what I can do.”

Charlot played in 11 games, mostly on special teams, and caught one pass against Central Michigan. He even asked to move to defensive back in an attempt to get some playing time.

The Jayhawks will hos t the N i cho l l s Colonels Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

Charlot also will match up with former Patterson teammate Mykel Jones and the Oklahoma Sooners Nov. 17 at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma, in Big 12 play.

By CORWIN MURRAYFormer Patterson

standout and current University of Oklahoma receiver Mykel Jones made some big plays in 2017, but Jones believes he can be an even bigger factor this season.

Oklahoma’s offense lost five starters, includ-ing Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield.

The Sooners receiving corps also lost All-American tight end Mark Andrews to the NFL and his team-leading 62 re-ceptions for 958 yards and eight touchdowns.

But last season’s breakout receiving star, M a r q u i s e B r o w n , shocked everyone with 57 catches for 1,095 and seven touchdowns in his first college action. The combination of Sooners newcomers, including Brown, CeeDee Lamb and tight end Grant Calcaterra, combined for 2,064 yards receiving with 17 touchdowns last season with even more expected this season.

But Jones remains atop the Oklahoma depth chart, slated to start alongside Brown at the receiver spots.

Jones had 16 recep-tions for 310 yards and his first collegiate touch-down — a 55-yarder against TCU in the Big 12 championship game.

He led the team with a 19.4 yards-per-catch av-erage as a sophomore.

“You know me. I want to put it all together and keep it going,” Jones said. “Everybody keeps telling me to trust the process, but I’m a receiv-er. I want the ball.”

Jones had other big games at Oklahoma State (three receptions for 53 yards), at Kansas State Oct. 21 (a ca-reer-high 76 yards on three receptions) and at

rival Ohio State Sept. 9 (two catches).

“I appreciate anything I can do to help us win, but I’ve always been a playmaker, and I pray I will continue to be,” Jones said.

In 2016 as a true fresh-man, Jones had 13 catch-es for 106 yards, includ-ing a 43-yarder.

Jones will be catching passes in 2018 from ju-nior transfer Kyler Murray, who was named the starter this month.

Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley named Murray as the starting quarterback over sopho-more redshirt Austin Kendell.

“Kyler did a really nice job in camp,” Riley said in a press release. “It was really a great competition between Austin and him, one that we carried on longer than maybe even we expected because of how well both guys played. There weren’t a lot of differentiating fac-tors in the end because both did play so well and so efficiently but just felt like from an overall per-spective that Kyler was just a little bit ahead.

“We feel like we’ve got a great quarterback tan-dem there, and we’re re-ally proud of the way that Austin has improved through the redshirt year last year and during camp,” Riley added. “We’re excited for Kyler and his opportunity, and the team looks forward to getting ready for FAU.”

A native of Allen, Texas, Murray played one season for Texas A&M before transferring to Oklahoma to play for Riley. He recorded 1,021 total yards and six touch-downs for the Aggies.

The University of Oklahoma opens the 2018 season Saturday as it hosts Florida Atlantic in Norman.

Jones wants to contribute more in 2018

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — David Beaty has plenty of reasons to be feeling the pressure this season.

The biggest is his re-cord, which is just 3-33 in three seasons at Kansas. His only win over a pow-er school came in 2016, when the Jayhawks stunned Texas to end a long and frustrating Big 12 skid, and there are very few places where a coach will get much sup-port with that kind of re-sume.

Then there’s the fact that his biggest support-er, Sheahon Zenger, lost his own job earlier this year. Zenger was fired as athletic director after failing to turn around the program, his failed hir-

ing of Charlie Weis per-haps his biggest misstep along the way.

If he’s feeling the heat, Beaty isn’t letting on. He remains optimism per-sonified, his focus trained entirely on helping the Jayhawks climb out of the league’s lonely cellar.

The Jayhawks return 91 percent of their offen-sive production from last season. They have 26 se-niors and almost two doz-en players with starting experience.

That’s a good place to start if Beaty is trying to impress Jeff Long, the Jayhawks’ new athletic director, and Mike Vollmar, the new associ-ate AD whose job is to oversee the football pro-gram.

Kansas Jayhawks enter season with coach David Beaty under pressure

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A year ago, new Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley was scrambling to find his way after Bob Stoops’ abrupt retirement put him in command just two months before fall camp.

The 34-year-old offen-sive mastermind now has a season under his belt and the kind of pay increase that often comes with a job well done. He led Oklahoma to a No. 3 final ranking and cashed in with a new five-year, $25 million contract.

There are plenty of rea-sons to believe Oklahoma’s investment will will pay off. Riley’s No. 1-ranked of-fense from last year re-turns two of its top three receivers, the top two run-ning backs and three start-ing linemen. Though Riley has to replace Heisman Trophy-winning quarter-back Baker Mayfield, his expectations haven’t changed. He believes ei-

ther Kyler Murray or Austin Kendall can step in and lead the Sooners back to the College Football Playoff.

“We did lose an out-standing individual player, no question about that,” Riley said of Mayfield, “but we also had a lot of players around him that helped make him that player, too, and a lot of those guys are still here.”

Oklahoma lost All-America left tackle Orlando Brown and Mackey Award-winning tight end Mark Andrews, who both now play for the Baltimore Ravens, but the Sooners are strong in both spots as they pursue a fourth consecutive Big 12 title.

On the defensive side, the Sooners have to replace Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. Linebacker Kenneth Murray is the top returnee after finishing second on the team with 78

tackles last season. Caleb Kelly, another linebacker, had 56 tackles last year. Cornerbacks Parnell Motley and Tre Norwood are the top returnees in the secondary.

It’s rare that a corner-back gets so much hype in Big 12 country, but fresh-man Brendan Radley-Hiles is the preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and one of the most highly sought after recruits in the nation. He’ll help a second-ary that has been assigned blame for many of Oklahoma’s issues in big games in recent years.

RODNEY’S ROOSTRunning back Rodney

Anderson suffered a sea-son-ending knee injury two games into the 2015 sea-son and a season-ending neck injury in fall camp in 2016. He didn’t even start until mid-season last year, but he finished with 1,442 yards and 18 touchdowns from scrimmage. In his best game, he had 290

yards and four touchdowns from scrimmage in a regu-lar-season win over TCU. In his final eight games last season, he had 1,333 yards and 16 touchdowns from scrimmage. At 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, he is a powerhouse with breakaway speed and good enough hands to have grabbed five touchdown re-ceptions last season. He’s a potential Heisman candi-date if he gets off to a fast start.

RECEIVING THR-EATS

Oklahoma’s receivers were a question mark heading into last season, but they are a strength heading into this one. The main weapons are Marquise Brown, Ceedee Lamb and tight end Grant Calcaterra. Brown had 57 catches for a team-leading 1,095 yards last season. Lamb had 46 grabs for 807 yards and Calcaterra had 10 grabs for 162 yards.

Williams, Hamer and Ross Thomas also will play cor-nerback for the Eagles.

Gone from the Eagles’ defensive backfield a year ago is second-team All-District 7-1A selection Tyler O’con.

Special TeamsLux will serve as the

team’s punter, while Grizzaffi will fill the kick-ing role.

In the return game, Brooks Thomas will be used on kickoffs and punts, while Grizzaffi and Daigle also will be used in those areas, too.

Thomas was a first-team All-District 7-1A kick re-turner a year ago. In 2017, he returned three kicks for touchdowns.

ScheduleThe Eagles’ nondistrict

schedule features Class 2A Pine, Class 3A Archbishop Hannan, Southside and Class 4A Vandebilt Catholic. The Southside

game, which will not count for power points because Southside is not a full-fledged member of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association yet, re-places the False River Academy game. The change was made after False River elected to play a junior varsity schedule this season.

In District 7-1A, Central Catholic will meet Gueydan, defending Division IV state champion Lafayette Christian, Highland Baptist, Hanson Memorial, Centerville and Vermilion Catholic.

“For the last four years that I’ve been in this dis-trict, we’ve had two teams in the semifinals every year,” Minton said. “We were fortunate enough two years ago to be one of those teams. Last year it was VC and LCA, so we play in a tough district.”

Central Catholic opened its season Thursday at home against Pine.

BATON ROUGE — If LSU coach Ed Orgeron wanted to highlight per-ceived slights of the Tigers as a way of moti-vating players to prove their critics wrong, he’d have plenty of material.

Expectations are rela-tively low in 2018, Orgeron’s second full sea-son at the helm. A num-ber of unproven players are competing for key po-sitions on offense and the Tigers have a daunting schedule that begins with resurgent Miami and includes games against each of last sea-son’s national title game participants, Alabama and Georgia.

If Joe Burrow, a gradu-ate transfer from Ohio State, isn’t the answer at quarterback, or if sopho-more QB Myles Brennan isn’t ready, it could be a rough season. Those are LSU’s only two QBs on scholarship following re-cent decisions by project-

ed reserves Lowell Narcisse and Justin McMillan to transfer. The Tigers’ top running backs are senior Nick Brossette, who was a third-stringer last sea-son, and sophomore Clyde Edwards-Helaire, whose next carry will be the 10th of his career.

Not a single wide receiv-er had more than 219 yards in 2017 and the offensive line took a hit when start-ing guard Ed Ingram was suspended indefinitely for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

But when LSU’s bur-ley, Cajun coach address-es his players with his distinctive raspy voice, he makes it clear he doesn’t want them dwell-ing on doubters, telling them instead to “block out the noise.”

“I try to get them to fo-cus on the task at hand and put all that stuff aside,” Orgeron ex-plained earlier this month.

It sounds like the Tigers

have taken that to heart.“I’m off of social media

right now,” defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko said. “To me, it hasn’t re-ally set in to try to prove people wrong. It’s more so to prove us right. To prove what we can do.”

Fehoko, a junior, trans-ferred to LSU from Texas Tech and will play his first snaps for the Tigers when they travel to Dallas to meet the Hurricanes on Sept. 2.

Some other things to know about LSU this season:

QB COMPETITIONThe 6-foot-4 Burrow has

maturity and experience on his side as he competes against 6-5 Brennan. Burrow was a highly re-garded recruit in Ohio. But after a redshirt year with the Buckeyes in 2015, he could not beat out J.T. Barrett for the starting job the past two seasons. He appeared 10 games for Ohio State, completing 29 of 39 passes for 287 yards and two

touchdowns. Brennan at-tempted 24 passes last season, throwing two in-terceptions and one touch-down pass. But Brennan was one of Orgeron’s prized 2017 recruits.

“We’re going to let the process happen through-out camp,” Orgeron said of the competition be-tween his QBs. “I’m not going to tip my hand.”

And what if both get hurt? Next up are walk-ons Andre Sale and Jordan Loving.

“Those guys will have to start to get ready for backup in case an emer-gency would happen, but we feel good about the two quarterbacks that we have,” Orgeron said.

CATCHING ONThe most accomplished

receiver on the squad is junior transfer Jonathan Giles, who still has to prove his success at Texas Tech in 2016 — 1,158 yards and 13 TDs receiving — translates in the SEC. The Tigers also have high hopes for a

pair of true freshmen, Ja’Marr Chase and Te r r a c e M a r s h a l l . S o p h o m o r e J u s t i n Jefferson has impressed coaches enough to take first-team snaps in the Tigers’ initial intrasquad scrimmage of fall camp. The Tigers also expect ju-nior Derrick Dillon to contribute in the slot.

Despite the receiver corps’ relative lack of expe-rience, Giles calls that po-sition a strength and pre-dicts LSU will throw more than in the recent past.

DEFENSIVE STA-BILITY

LSU appears to have few concerns on defense.

Accomplished coordi-nator Dave Aranda has many experienced play-ers returning in his pres-sure-heavy 3-4 scheme.

Outside linebackers K’Lavon Chaisson and Michael Divinity are ex-pected to provide a strong pass rush from the edges. Junior linebacker Devin White anchors the mid-dle. Ball hawk Andraez

“Greedy” Williams, who had six interceptions last season, leads an accom-plished secondary that in-c l u d e s Te r r e n c e Alexander, a graduate transfer from Stanford who is a strong candidate to play nickel back.

NEW KICKERThe Tigers hope to

have addressed inconsis-tency in the kicking game by adding Cole Tracy, a transfer from Division II Assumption College. Orgeron has been pleased so far by Tracy, who last season led all Division II kickers in field goals with 27 and field goal percentage at .931.

KEY GAMESIn addition to the neu-

tral site opener with Miami and home dates against Georgia on Oct. 13 and Alabama on Nov. 3, the Tigers have road games against Auburn (Sept. 15), Florida (Oct. 6) and coach Jimbo Fisher’s new team, Texas A&M (Nov. 24).

comBerwick High gradu-

ate and standout ath-lete Kenan Jones has begun the next phase of his playing career as a member of the LSU football team.

Jones, a 6-foot, 3-inch, 209-pound freshman, is one of 19 wide receivers on LSU’s squad.

He enters college af-ter combining for 91 re-cept ions for nearly 1,800 yards and almost 20 touchdowns com-bined his f inal two years of high school.

Jones was a four-star prospect by ESPN and the No. 11 overall player in Louisiana by 247Sports coming out of high school.

He earned first-team All-District 8-3A honors as a senior a long wi th Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A first-team All-State recog-nition.

LSU has 19 wide re-ceivers this year and will be breaking in a new quarterback be-cause Danny Etling has exhausted his eligibili-ty. Either junior Joe Burrow, an Ohio State transfer, or sophomore Myles Brennan will get the starting job.

The Tigers lost their top-three pass catchers from a year ago in DJ Chark, Russell Gage and Darrel Williams. Chark had 40 recep-tions for 874 yards and three scores , whi le

Williams had 23 recep-tions for 331 yards. Gage hauled in 21 pass-es for 285 yards and three scores.

Tight end Foster Moreau is the leading returning receiver with 24 receptions for 278 yards and three scores a year ago , whi le Stephen Sullivan is the leading returning re-ceiver with 11 catches for 219 yards and one touchdown in 2017.

LSU finished the 2017 season with a 9-4 mark, including a 6-2 record in Southeastern Conference play. The Tigers fell to Notre Dame 21-17 in the Citrus Bowl to end the season.

LSU opens its season Sunday when it faces

Miami in the AdvoCare C l a s s i c a t AT & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The 6:30 p.m. contest will be broad-cast on ABC.

In addition to foot-ball, Jones is an accom-plished track and field athlete and expects to compete with the Tigers in the spring.

This past spring, Jones won the long jump and high jump and finished second in the triple jump at the Louisiana High School Athletic Association’s Class 3A State Track and Field Meet. He was named the Class 3A b o y s ’ O u t s t a n d i n g Athlete and helped Berwick to a 3A run-ner-up finish.

Memphis must replace the dynamic passing combination that helped the Tigers produce one of their best seasons ever last year.

The Tigers believe they have enough firepower to contend for the American Athletic Conference title even without departed q u a r t e r b a c k R i l e y Ferguson and receiver Anthony Miller.

“This is a different foot-ball team,” Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. “This is a new team. There are going to be new faces that have to emerge as the leaders. I men-tioned the (youth) that we have, but our guys are absolutely passionate about the opportunity.”

Memphis went 10-3 last season, tied a school

record for wins and end-ed the year ranked 25th . The Tigers head into the 2018 season as the favor-ite in the American West Division, according to the conference’s preseason media poll .

The Tigers got a break when Norvell didn’t par-lay Memphis’ success last year into an opportunity at a bigger program . Norvell now faces the challenge of rebuilding the Tigers’ passing at-tack.

Ferguson is gone after throwing for 4,257 yards to rank third among all F o o t b a l l B o w l Subdivision players last year. The Tigers also must replace Miller, who was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sec-ond round after tying for the FBS lead with 18 touchdown catches last

year. That duo helped Memphis average 45.5 points last season to rank second nationally .

But the Tigers bring back a productive run-ning back in Darrell Henderson and have plenty of other pieces in place as they try to achieve the goals that eluded them last season.

For all that Memphis accomplished last season, the Tigers ended the year by losing the American championship game to Central Florida in double overtime and losing the Liberty Bowl to Iowa State by a single point . That gives them plenty of motivation.

“That’s something that pushes us every day - be-ing the best versions of ourselves,” Norvell said. “If you look at last season and to have a really good

year but come up a bit short, is that our driving factor to be successful? No. But we are going to learn from the experienc-es that we’ve had.”

Some other things to watch with Memphis this season.

H E N D E R S O N ’ S RETURN

While Ferguson has departed, Memphis still has experience in the backfield with the return of Henderson, who rushed for 1,154 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

STRONG ON THE LINE

Memphis returns four offensive linemen who started at least 12 games last season. Offensive tackle Trevon Tate was a first-team all-American Athletic Conference se-lection last year.

Joshua Carver is a member of the Southeastern Louisiana University Lions football team this fall as a walk-on.

Carver headed to the col-legiate ranks after a suc-cessful high school career in which he caught a com-bined 128 passes for 2,443 yards and 32 touchdowns during his final two sea-sons. As a senior, he had 74 catches for 1,480 yards and 20 touchdowns.

The 6-foot, 200-pound Berwick alum is capped his high school football career with Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A honorable mention All-State recognition, sec-ond-team Louisiana F o o t b a l l C o a c h e s Association Class 3A All-State honors and a first-team All-USA Louisiana Football pick.

At Southeastern, he is one of 15 wide receivers on the roster.

The Lions finished the 2017 season with a 6-5 mark and were 6-3 in Southland Conference play.

Southeastern experi-

enced a coaching change this offseason as Ron Roberts left Hammond to become the defensive coor-dinator at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

He was replaced at Southeastern by Frank Scelfo, who came to Hammond after two years of service as the University of Texas-San Antonio’s of-fensive coordinator and quarterback coach.

The Lions bring back 10 of its top 11 receivers from 2017, but the Lions threw the ball less than 30 per-cent of the time in 2017.

The Lions anticipate be-ing more balanced on of-fense this season.

Southeastern’s top re-turning receiver is sopho-more Austin Mitchell, who had a team-high five touch-down receptions in 2017. He also led the Lions with an average of 30.2 yards per reception.

The receivers are coached by ex-Ole Miss and former NFL player Michael Spurlock, who is in his first season with the Lions.

Southeastern opened its 2018 season at home against the University of Louisiana at Monroe Thursday.

By CORWIN MURRAYThe University of

Memphis’ defense, of which former Patterson standout Nehemiah August is a part of, is ex-pected to carry the squad in 2018.

Augustus, a redshirt sophomore outside line-backer, saw time in each of Memphis’ 13 games last season, totaling 19 tackles (12 solo). He had career-highs of three to-tal tackles against Connecticut, ECU and UCF in the American Athletic Conference Championship game. He had a career-best two so-lo tackles against Connecticut, Tulane and ECU.

As a high school senior, Augustus recorded 88 to-tal tackles (52 solo and 36 assists). He had five tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fum-bles, 11 pass breakups

and six interceptions. Augustus earned both Louis iana Footba l l Coaches Association Class 3A All-State first-team honors in 2015 and Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A All-State honorable mention recognition the same year.

Additionally, he was an All-District 8-3A first team selection on offense as a return specialist and on defense as a defensive back.

Memphis finished the 2017 season with a 10-3 mark, falling to Iowa State 21-20 in the Liberty Bowl. Memphis recorded a 10-3 mark in 2017, including a 7-1 re-cord in American Athletic Conference play. The squad’s lone conference loss was to the University of Central Florida, which finished its season unde-feated.

Nicholls had a solid y e a r, t e a m w i s e , Central Catholic High alum Stefano Guarisco said, individually, it wasn’t what he expect-ed of himself.

“ I n d i v i d u a l l y, i t wasn’t up to my stan-dards,” Guarisco said. “I was kind of battling an injury, and it was nagging me throughout the whole year, so for me, it was pretty much a letdown individually.”

Team wise, though, Guarisco, a wide receiv-er, was glad to see the Colonels’ success, which included an 8-4 finish to the season and host-ing a first-round play-off game for the first time in school history.

“ I ’m happy about

where the team’s go-ing,” he said.

The program’s direc-t i on ce r ta in ly has trended upward since the arrival of Coach Tim Rebowe, who now is entering his fourth season in charge of the program.

Guarisco has been a part of that change as he came into the pro-gram as a part of the 2016 recruiting class.

“You got to give credit to Coach Rebowe and those guys that (have) just been here ever since he stepped on campus,” Guarisco said. “We stuck through it. We fought. He has a vi-sion, and we (are) all following his vision.”

After making the playoffs a year ago for the first time since 2005, Guarisco said the next step this year is to

win the Southland Conference champion-ship and a national championship.

“We set our goals high,” he said. “We ex-pect to do great, and we just got to keep pro-gressing as a team.”

The Colonels return 18 starters, including 1 4 p r e s e a s o n A l l -Southland Conference performers this season.

At wide receiver, the Colonels return four of their top five receivers, i n c l u d i n g s e n i o r P r e s e a s o n A l l -Southland Conference f i rst - team select ion Damion Jeanpiere Jr. a n d s o p h o m o r e P r e s e a s o n A l l -Southland Conference Second-Team selection D a i ’ J e a n D i x o n . J e a n p i e r e l e d t h e Colonels with 40 recep-tions for 770 yards and

scored four touchdowns a year ago . Dixon caught 23 passes for 489 yards and scored f ive touchdowns in 2017.

The Colonels also welcome senior Gabe Fuselier, a senior trans-fer from Louisiana-Lafayette, to the wide receiver group this fall.

Guarisco is working at slot receiver this fall and was starting on kick return and backup on punt returns as of earlier this month.

A year ago, he had seven receptions for 74 yards, eight carries for 17 yards and returned nine kickoffs for 145 yards.

Nicholls will begin its season Saturday when i t t rave l s t o f a ce Kansas at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN+.

comAs a member of the

Nicholls State football team, Central Catholic H i g h S c h o o l a l u m Garret LeBlanc said it is exciting to see people get behind a resurgent program that is receiv-ing national attention.

LeBlanc, a redshirt junior tight end, has been with the program since the early days of the rebuilding process under fourth-year head coach Tim Rebowe.

“This program has done a 180,” LeBlanc said. “It’s incredible the way Nicholls has never gotten this type of at-tention before, and now we’re getting it, and I think that’s incredible. We gave the people in this region something to cheer for and some-

thing to be proud about, and it all comes with Coach Rebowe (and) my position coach, Coach Russ (Gisclair). They do a good job of making sure we keep our nose to the ground and keep working hard and take it day-by-day.”

Nicholls enters this season with momentum after finishing last sea-son with an 8-4 mark and advancing to the postseason for the first time since 2005. The Colonels hosted their first playoff game in school history a year ago, narrowly falling to South Dakota. Nicholls return 18 starters, in-cluding 14 preseason All -Southland Conf-erence performers.

about the ending game, but all the other games, bringing the first play-off game in the history of Nicholls to Nicholls, that was exciting. The fan base is really blow-ing up lately. We had the biggest crowd here of all the FCS playoff games in the f i rst round in the country. … Last year ’s season is unforgettable.”

For LeBlanc , the 6 - f o o t , 2 - i n c h , 235-pound tight end/H-back played in all 12 games, seeing t ime during the season on special teams as an up back as well as on of-fense . He recorded three tackles a year ago.

“As far as my season, I feel like it went good,” LeBlanc said.

LeBlanc is one of sev-en tight ends on this

season’s Nicholls ros-ter.

The Colonels must replace their top tight end from a year ago, then-senior Stephen LeBouef. LeBouef had seven receptions for 51 yards and a score a year ago.

Sophomore Dav id Mosely is the only oth-er tight end from a year ago to record receiving stats, as he caught five passes for 40 yards.

One addition to the tight end group in the offseason is LSU trans-f e r B r y ’ K i e t h o n M o u t o n , a 6 - f o o t , 1-inch, 260-pound se-nior who prepped at Acadiana High.

Nicholls will begin its season Saturday when i t t rave l s t o f a ce Kansas at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN+.

comThings didn’t work out,

football wise, for Central Catholic High School alum Bailey Badeaux at Pearl River Community College last year.

While he signed with the school late in his senior year in 2017 and attended class-es, he didn’t play football.

However, that didn’t mean his football career was over, either.

With the help of Central Catholic Coach Tommy Minton, he secured a pre-ferred walk-on spot at Nicholls where he now is a sophomore running back.

Badeaux is one of 12 run-ning backs on Nicholls’ ros-ter.

A year ago, Nicholls ground game was the sec-ond-best in the Southland Conference, averaging 200.2 yards a contest.

Nicholls returns its top four rushers from 2017, led by junior Kyran Irvin, who rushed for 764 yards and eight scores in 2017. Irvin is a second-team Preseason All-Southland Conference run-ning back this season.

Other returning rushers are junior Dontrell Taylor and redshirt sophomore

Tahj Smith.The 5-foot, 6-inch,

190-pound Badeaux earned First-Team All-District 7-1A honors at Central Catholic as a senior. He rushed 134 times for 849 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had nine receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown.

He played in the NUC All-American Game, the Max Emfinger All-American Bowl Game, the NUC Texas vs. World game and as a member of the American Football Worldwide Elite se-lect football team that faced Ireland’s national U19 team. Badeaux was named MVP for the World Team in the NUC Texas vs. World game after rushing for 140 yards and two scores.

After being away from football for a year, Badeaux said he appreciates it more now.

As for what he wants to achieve this season, Badeaux said he would do anything he could to help the team.

“It takes every person on this team to help out the team, so I’ll do whatever it takes,” Badeaux said.

Nicholls opens its season Saturday when it travels to face Kansas at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.

School alum Andrea Dragna has walked onto the Nicholls football team as a freshman long snapper.

Dragna, who served as Morgan City High School’s long snapper, said there is a “big differ-ence” between high school and college.

“It’s more of a family,” he said. “It’s not like how in high school, everybody was about themselves and trying to get to the next level.”

In college, he said all of the players are on the same level and “we’re all grinding to win a cham-pionship.”

Dragna said he is third string at long snapper this year.

The Colonels return senior long snapper Wesley Barnette, who has started every game at long snapper in 2017.

The team’s long snap-per — along with the holder — will be helping kicker Lorran Fonseca, a preseason All-Southland

Conference selection. Fonseca was a sec-ond-team All-Southland selection a year ago and earned six All-American honors, three of those as a first-team selection.

The long snapper also assists Nicholls’ punter. The Colonels will have to replace punter Tyler St. Germain, a senior a year ago. Nicholls has two punters this season, f r eshman Mat thew Alfonso and junior Winston Jones.

As for his goals for this season, the 5-foot, 8-inch Dragna said he would like to improve his speed and accuracy and get big-ger and stronger.

So far, he said he has learned a lot in his time at Nicholls. “I’m going to do what-ever it takes to help the team win and just pre-pare for next season to be the backup,” he said of his role for this year. Nicholls opens the reg-ular season Saturday when it travels to face Kansas in a 6 p.m. con-test. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.

Sirbatian “Chubb” Charles has gone defensive at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas.

Three years ago, Charles was a pass-happy quarter-back that led Patterson’s re-cord-breaking spread of-fense. He finished his career with 4,500 passing yards with 62 touchdowns and 1,200 rushing yards with 11 more scores. He was an All-District and Honorable men-tion All-State performer.

He even set a school re-cord with seven touchdown passes in one game.

But Charles is now a hard-charging defensive back for the Tigers.

“I’m comfortable at cor-nerback now,” Charles said. “I had to change my whole mentality. I had to get stronger, learn my coverag-es, and then I started to en-joy hitting people. They didn’t need or want that for me at Patterson, but I just enjoy playing football.”

As a sophomore last sea-son, Charles played in 10

games recording 22 tackles (13 solo, nine assists), in-cluding a career-high five tackles in two games. He also broke up six passes for the season.

Charles is currently first on the depth chart at cor-nerback in 2018.

“I was the starter coming in (to fall camp), and that made me work harder this summer,” Charles said. “I spent like two or three weeks in Patterson, and I went up to the high school to work out with Mykel Jones.

“It was good to be one of the Lumberjacks’ alumni to come back and talk to the players,” Charles added. “The rest of the time I spent with family, because I will only see them when they come to the games here.”

East Texas Baptist University opened the sea-son Thursday at home against Wisconsin-Platteville

“I’m just trying to do my best on and off the field and add to the Patterson lega-cy.” Charles said.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Sun Belt Conference is entering its final football season under the leader-ship of commissioner Karl Benson, who took over at a time of major transition and uncertainty for the league.

Benson — who at 66 has decided to step down next summer — expects the ac-

tion on the field this fall to show how far the Sun Belt has come since his arrival in 2012, when everything from membership, facili-ties, TV contracts and bowl affiliations were different.

“The Sun Belt for so long has been labeled as the bot-tom of the 10 conferences and that’s no longer the case,” Benson recently as-

serted. “We have estab-lished a brand. We’ve es-tablished credibility.”

This season will be a his-toric one for the 18-year-old league, which will have its first championship game between the winners of two newly formed, five-team di-visions that were designed to foster geographic rival-ries and make travel easier

for fans.The East Division con-

sists of Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State and Troy. In the West, it’s Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama and Texas State.

“It’s a great thing,” third-year Louisiana-Monroe

coach Matt Viator said. “The NCAA is about opportunity, and two teams in this league will get another op-portunity when they play in the championship game.”

The Sun Belt also didn’t want to risk poor atten-dance at neutral site game. The team with the best league record, or which wins any necessary

tie-breakers, will host the Sun Belt title tilt.

“When you think about the championship game be-ing played on a home cam-pus, and what that can mean to a team, that makes the regular season more valuable,” Benson said. “The conference sea-son takes on added mean-ing.”

Sun Belt Conference opens new era in 2018 with title game

School standout Larenz Clark has “found a bet-ter fit” after a transfer from East Texas Baptist to Louisiana College.

Clark signed with East Texas Baptist in Marshall, Texas, out of high school. He was a second-team All-District 8-3A selection as a se-nior at kick/punt return-er and defensive back. He chose East Texas Baptist over North-western Oklahoma State and Henderson State.

He made a mark East Texas Baptist in his one

season there in 2017. Clark played in seven games and recorded sev-en tackles (six solo, one assisted) , including three vs. Louisiana College, his new school.

A year ago in a 66-21 victory against McMurry University, the fourth quarter began with Clark returning an in-terception 66 yards for a score.

It was his first colle-giate interception and touchdown.

But in the of f sea-son , he t rans ferred to Louisiana College for what he cal ls “a

better fit”.“I’ll just say that it

(the transfer) is going good,” Clark said. “I’m forming a bond with my teammates, and I like it way better here.”

East Texas Baptist al-so went through a coach-ing change, which con-cerned Clark.

The sophomore sat out the spring summer due to transfer rules, and he’s a full member of the Louisiana College foot-ball team.

“I spent some of the summer back at home in Berwick , and I worked out with Kenan

Jones (LSU signee), so you know I got in some good work in” Clark said.

He said he also worked out in the weight room.

Clark knew he had to get stronger to continue to play.

“I was able to get my weight up. … I put on 10 pounds of muscle, so I’ll be playing at 175 this year,” Clark said. “Now, all I have to do is get better every day.”

Louisiana Col lege opens the season on the road at Alcorn State Sept. 8, in Lorman, Mississippi.

F o r m e r C e n t r a l Catholic High School standout Samarick Paul is ready to make his presence felt at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas.

Paul, a sophomore re-ceiver, saw playing time on both offense and de-fense as a freshman. He had one reception for 8 yards on offense and three tackles on de-fense.

Of course, that’s no surprise for the Tri-City area football fans.

Paul was a wide re-ceiver and defense back

and nearly every other position for Central Catholic Coach Tommy Minton in 2016.

Paul was a first-team all-district and all-state performer his senior year when he served as a zone-read quarter-back, too.

He was even a two-time state champion on the track in the long jump.

“We have new coach-es and they have stressed using me at re-ceiver … and that’s good with me,” Paul said. “I’ve been working with the OC (Offensive Coordinator) to learn

the new offense, and that ’s enough right now,” he said.

East Texas Baptist University announced the hiring of Scott Highsmith as the next head coach in March. He became the fifth head coach since the program was restarted in 2000, and he re-placed Scotty Walden, who left for an NCAA Division I position.

Highsmith is famil-iar with East Texas Baptist University as he was the wide re-ceivers coach the past two years and coordi-n a t e d t h e p a s s i n g

game in 2017. Paul is a fan of the

new offense so far.“I worked really hard

all summer,” Paul said. “I worked out at Central Catholic, and the other time, I did my own thing. I’m listed as sec-ond on the depth chart, and that’s not where I want to be. But the of-fense is going to get us in 1-on-1 match ups, and I’m a playmaker. All I have to do is what I’ve always done.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Grambling State’s Broderick Fobbs welcomes his new coaching peers in the Southwestern Athletic Conference — and any new ideas they bring with them.

Half the league’s 10 pro-grams have new leaders going into this season, though most of them have been around for a while as assistants.

“There are going to be guys that bring different defenses, there are going to be guys who bring different offenses and do things dif-ferently in another way that maybe you haven’t thought about,” said Fobbs, whose Tigers have won the past two SWAC titles and 26 overall. “So I’m always intrigued by that because it gives you an opportunity to learn as well.

“I look forward to it. Change always makes you better when you accept it the right way.”

SWAC schools, like ma-ny others around the coun-try, are banking on it.

Besides the five new head coaches, Grambling will have a new quarter-back with the departure of two-time league offensive player of the year DeVante Kincaid.

Four-time defending SWAC East champion Alcorn State has a re-vamped coaching staff, in-

cluding the hiring of former West Virginia star Pat White as quarterbacks coach.

The new head coaches range from Mississippi Valley State’s 33-year-old Vincent Dancy to Alabama State’s Donald Hill-Eley, who has 12 years experi-ence as a head coach. Former Grambling offen-sive coordinator Eric Dooley has taken over at Prairie View A&M and ex-Alcorn State assistant Cedric Thomas is the new head man at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, where he played.

Former Hampton coach Connell Maynor is the only one of the five to come in from outside the league. He has taken over at Alabama A&M.

“We got a lot a lot of coaches with lot of wins from wherever they’ve gone,” Alabama State’s Eley said. “When they were coordinators they had great segments, whether it was offense or defense. And if they were head coaches, they had great success. I think that kind of experi-ence will help the confer-ence.”

Dooley seems to be tak-ing over the program on the most solid footing at Prairie View, with the other four teams coming off losing seasons.

L S U a l u m K e n n y Hilliard signed with the n e w A l l i a n c e o f A m e r i c a n F o o t b a l l League that will kick off Feb. 9, 2019.

The league will fea-ture eight teams with a 12-week season begin-ning in February and culminating with a title game in late April.

Hilliard signed with Memphis.

“I’m going to be play-ing in the new league that seems first class,” Hilliard said. “They have bunch of people who use to work in the

NFL. I’m just glad I have somewhere to con-tinue my career.”

Hilliard was selected by the Houston Texans in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was released by the Texans in 2015 and was signed to the practice squad.

Most recently, he s p e n t t i m e w i t h Washington Redskins.

At LSU, Hi l l iard made seven starts and appeared in 48 games. He rushed for 1,557 yards dur ing tha t stretch, and his 27 rushing touchdowns are tied for eighth-most in

program history.In high school, the

four-year starter rushed for a then-state record 5,863 yards with 78 touchdowns. The run-ning back averaged 195.4 yards per game as a Lumberjack.

Former LSU quarter-b a c k Z a c h Mettenberger, tight end Colin Jeter, defensive end Deondre Clark, l i n e b a c k e r D o n n i e Alexander and kicker J o s h J a s p e r h a v e signed with Memphis.

AAF officials say the league will not compete with the NFL.

Rather, it is basically

a “feeder system to the league,” co-founder Bill Polian told USA Today.

Players won’t have long-term contracts and the season will end months before NFL training camps begin.

The AAF won’t have kickoffs. Rather, teams will begin play at their own 25-yard line follow-ing a score and at the commencement of each half.

The league won’t have onside kicks and extra points. Teams must go for two-point conver-sions.

By CORWIN MURRAYFormer Patterson stand-

out Don'tre Nicholas has his head in the books like most Louisiana College freshmen.

But it’s the playbook that has the running back cram-ming in his first week of college football.

“It’s a mental thing right now,” Nicholas said earlier this month. “The offense is more complicated, so you have (to) learn more com-plicated hand signals and assignments. But you have to learn it all before you can get on the field.”

Nicholas rushed for a combined 2,107 yards on 353 carries with 22 touch-downs during his junior and senior seasons. As a ju-nior, he rushed 162 times for 940 yards and six scores, while his senior season, he had 191 carries for 1,167 yards.

But, Nichols had to do some growing up off the field as a senior, which has helped him adapt to college ball. He said he was being looked at by multiple Louisiana schools, includ-ing Louisiana Tech, Southern University and Grambling, but found him-self in legal trouble in September 2017 after which he said these colleges stopped recruiting him.

“I felt like I was a child at the moment, and going through what I went through, it made me grow up fast, and I saw the world for what it was,” he said then. “Like if you do stupid things, a lot of things (are) going to be taken away from you.”

Nicholas said that the experience made him more mature.

“I’m able to focus on my playbook more now be-cause I came in great shape,” he said. “That’s something I could do before I got here, and I did. And it’s really physical here, but that doesn’t bother me be-cause we always played physical at Patterson.”

But, the number of running backs Nicholas has to compete with was a big surprise.

“We have like eight or 10 running backs, and we’re all out here grinding and competing every day,” he said. “And we have two big-time upper classmen who will get most of the carries. I just have to keep learning my playbook, keep working hard and stay humble, and I’ll be OK. I’m just happy to be here.”

The Wildcats open the season at Alcorn State Sept. 8, in Loman, Mississippi.

By CORWIN MURRAYDeAndre Diggs is one the

best players from Patterson High in recent years, but the hulking defensive line-man struggled to land a col-lege scholarship.

But, when Louisiana College came calling in March, Diggs promised to give his all.

“Today is a blessing,” Diggs said then. “I worked my butt off and believed that this would happen like my family, coaches and peo-ple I look up to said it would. So, I owe all of them a great big thank you for believing in me and helping me. I’m gonna put every-thing in me into getting ready to play and getting my degree. I will not forget why I’m there.”

Diggs was a first-team All-District 8-3A defensive line-man and an honorable men-tion Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A All-State selection as a senior.

He recorded 55 tackles, 16 assists, three forced fumbles, two fumble recov-eries and 15 tackles for loss, including five sacks.

As a junior, he also earned first-team All-District 8-3A honors on the defensive line, while as a sophomore, he was an hon-orable mention All-District 8-3A pick as an offensive lineman.

“I learned from my broth-er, Malik Bass, and his teammates what it means

to be a Lumberjack football player,” Diggs said. “I also saw how people looked up to my brother, because he was a good player and stu-dent. He went off to play ball in college, finished and now he’s in the military and helping me try to do the same thing.”

Diggs’ laser focus has not dimmed since he arrived in Pineville.

“I look in the mirror ev-ery morning and tell myself that I believe in me and I will make all my dreams come true,” he said.

The Wildcats’ coaches al-ready have moved Diggs from defensive end to tack-le because they like his mo-tor and push.

“I didn’t ask why,” Diggs said. “I just said OK and moved to tackle. Whatever they ask me to do, I will do to the best of my ability.”

But the number of defen-sive lineman competing for the playing time was a bit overwhelming for Diggs.

“We have like 10 or 11 guys on the D-line, and ev-erybody (is) big, and every-body (is) strong. This ain’t high school,” he said. “So I realized that I can’t worry about that. I have to do what it takes for me to suc-ceed. They have me listed as third on the depth chart, and I just can’t accept that.”

Central Catholic alum Chris Singleton is a true freshman on the University of Arkansas at Monticello football team this fall.

Singleton is one of three players on the roster of the Division II school listed as an athlete.

The former Central Catholic standout finished his senior season with 1,500 rushing yards.

Central Catholic Coach Tommy Minton said last year he thought Singleton finished his career with approximate-ly 3,700 rushing yards.

The 6-foot, 180-pounder will finished his senior season as a first-team All-District

7-1A selection, a second-team Louisiana Football Coaches Association All-State pick and an honorable mention Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 1A All-State pick.

Former Central Catholic Head Coach Hud Jackson coaches Arkansas-Monticello.

Arkansas at Monticello fin-ished the season with a 5-6 mark, including a 5-5 record in Great American Conference play. The Boll Weevils lost their final three games of the season.

The College Football Playoff has yet to produce a real surprise team.

In four seasons, nine schools have reached the semifinals — and even the teams that came from out-side the AP preseason Top 25 were traditional powers.

The lowest-ranked team in the preseason media poll to make the CFP was Oklahoma in 2015. The Sooners were 19th to start the season, mostly because they were coming off a dis-appointing season (8-5) and few knew how good Baker Mayfield would be.

Clemson made the play-off that same year after starting the season ranked No. 12. The Tigers went 10-3 the season before, but Deshaun Watson was a sophomore coming off a knee injury, there was ma-jor turnover on defense and exactly what Dabo Swinney was building at Clemson had not yet been fully re-vealed.

Washington was No. 14 going into the 2016 season

before going on a playoff run. The Huskies were al-so coming off mediocre season (7-6), but there was definitely a sense Chris Petersen’s team was ready to take a significant step forward in year two of his tenure. Turns out it was even bigger than ex-pected.

Last year, Georgia went from No. 15 to the CFP. The Bulldogs were 8-5 the sea-son before, Kirby Smart’s first in Athens. The Bulldogs had an experi-enced team in ‘17 that was favored to win the SEC East, and ended up being the second-best team in the country.

So what does this small sample tell us? If you want to pick a playoff dark horse, look for a brand-name team ranked somewhere in the teens of the preseason poll. Maybe one with a talented quarterback who still has some uncertainty attached to him.

And with that, predic-tions for the 2018 college football season:

TOP 25

Three teams in the AP preseason poll that will not finish the season ranked: No. 16 TCU, No. 20 Virginia Tech, No. 25 LSU.

Three teams not in the AP preseason poll that will finish the season ranked: Boston College, Memphis, Utah.

C O N F E R E N C E WINNERS

—American Athletic Conference: Memphis (West) over Temple (East). The last two teams to win the American lost their coaches soon after. So where’s Mike Norvell go-ing?

— A t l a n t i c C o a s t Conference: Clemson (Atlantic) over Miami (Coastal). The Tigers are stacked and freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence could give the of-fense an explosiveness it was missing last year.

—Big Ten: Michigan (East) over Wisconsin (West). Jim Harbaugh fi-nally quiets his critics.

—Big 12: Oklahoma (No. 1) over (West Virginia No. 2). The Big 12 is the most

likely Power Five confer-ence to provide an unex-pected champion. There is little separation among the top six or seven teams but when in doubt, pick the Sooners.

—Conference USA: Florida Atlantic (East) over Louisiana Tech (West). Lane Kiffin brings a second straight C-USA title to FAU.

— M i d - A m e r i c a n Conference: Ohio (East) over Northern Illinois (West). Ohio wins its first MAC title since 1968.

—Mountain West: Boise State (Mountain) over San Diego State (West). Could be the Broncos best post-Chris Petersen team.

—Pac-12: Washington (North) over Utah (South). The Huskies win their sec-ond Pac-12 title in three seasons, but the opener against Auburn could de-termine playoff hopes.

— S o u t h e a s t e r n Conference: Alabama (West) over Georgia (East). This time only the SEC champion makes the play-off.

—Sun Belt: Arkansas State (West) over Troy (East). Red Wolves win the first Sun Belt champion-ship game.

HEISMAN TROPHYThe favorites are run-

ning backs Bryce Love of Stanford and Jonathan Taylor of Wisconsin, but the Heisman has become a quarterback’s award. Fifteen of the last 18 win-ners have been QBs. Feels like a season where a not-so-obvious player makes a run. Top five vote-getters:

1. Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

2. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin.

3. Will Grier, QB, West Virginia.

4. Shea Patterson, QB, Michigan.

5. A.J. Dillon, RB, Boston College.

COACHING CAR-OUSEL

There seems to be no such thing as a slow season when it comes to coaching moves. Almost inevitably a few jobs that seemed safe in September open up by

December. Florida, for ex-ample, just last year. What job will unexpectedly open this season? How about Oklahoma, when Jerry Jones decides to hire anoth-er Sooners coach and brings Lincoln Riley to the Cowboys.

NEW YEAR’S SIX/COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF

NATIONAL CHAM-PIONSHIP

Clemson and Alabama make it four straight sea-sons meeting in the playoff. The Tigers even the series at two and win another na-tional title.

Tide, Tigers, Huskies and Wolverines are the AP's Playoff Predictions

By The Associated Press

Alabama will begin its quest for a second con-secutive national cham-pionship with a rare three-peat.

The Crimson Tide is just the second team to be ranked No. 1 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll for three straight seasons. Alabama received 42 out of 61 first-place votes.

No. 2 Clemson received 18 first-place votes. Georgia is No. 3 and Wisconsin is fourth. The Badgers received one first-place vote. Ohio State was ranked No. 5.

The preseason AP poll started in 1950 and since then only Oklahoma from 1985-87 had started No. 1 in three straight years until now.

Ring up another mile-stone for coach Nick Saban’s Tide dynasty. Alabama has won five national championships since 2009 and now has been No. 1 to start the season five times under Saban. Last season was the first time Saban’s team started and fin-ished the season No. 1.

The Tide enter this season with a question at quarterback, but there appears to be two good answers from which Saban has to choose: Tua Tagovailoa won the College Football Playoff championship game for Alabama with a sec-ond-half comeback and overtime touchdown pass. Jalen Hurts has led the Tide to the national title game in each of his two seasons as a starter.

Whoever is quarter-back, Alabama’s offense should be potent with running back Damien Harris working behind a powerful line anchored b y t a c k l e J o n a h Williams.

The Tide’s always tough defense will have all new starters in the secondary, but defensive end Raekwon Davis and linebackers Mack Wilson and Dylan Moses are primed to be Alabama’s next All-Americans.

The machine never stops in Tuscaloosa. One again, everybody is chas-ing Alabama.

NO. 1 AT BEING NO. 1

The AP poll began in 1936 and Alabama is ap-proaching the top of a very storied list:

Ohio State — 105

weeks at No. 1Alabama — 104Oklahoma — 101Notre Dame — 98Southern California —

91Florida State — 72Nebraska — 70P R E S E A S O N

FAVORITESThis is Alabama’s sev-

enth time overall being a preseason No. 1, match-ing USC for fourth most.

Oklahoma — 10 pre-season No. 1 rankings

Ohio State — 8Alabama — 7USC — 7Florida State 6Nebraska — 6T H E O T H E R

CHAMPSCentral Florida was

the only team in the country to go undefeated last season and — you might have heard — the

school decided to declare the Knights national champions because why not? This is college foot-ball and nobody is really in charge.

UCF is ranked in the Top 25 for the first time to the start the season, coming in 21st in the pre-season poll. The Knights are the highest-ranked team not in a Power Five conference, one spot ahead of Boise State from the Mountain West. If that ranking after going unbeaten seems unusu-ally low, it is but it is not unprecedented. In the CFP/BCS era (1998-pres-ent), 19 teams have had unbeaten seasons. Three of those teams — 1998 Tulane, 1999 Marshall, 2004 Utah — were un-ranked in the preseason poll the next season. Not

surprisingly, all those teams played outside of what were then called BCS automatic qualify-ing conferences. Five oth-er teams were ranked outside the top 10, in-cluding three from out-s ide BCS-auto b id leagues. Boise State in 2007 was No. 24 in the preseason. Utah in 2009 started 19th. TCU began 2011 at No. 14.

The only so-called pow-er conference team to go unbeaten in the BCS/CFP era and be ranked similarly low the next season was Auburn — twice. After going 13-0 in 2004, the Tigers started 2005 ranked 16th. After Cam Newton led Auburn to the 2010 national title, the Newton-less Tigers were ranked No. 23 to be-gin 2011.

No. 1 Alabama tops preseason Top 25; Clemson, Georgia next

History of the Shrimp & Petroleum FestivalStaff Report

The Shrimp and Petroleum Festival is an annual event — more than a celebration — that honors the two mainstream in-dustries in this part of coastal St. Mary Parish.

Music, food, carnival rides and craft shows will team with a glittering pageant and coro-nation ball to fill all the cele-bration requirements.

A solemn Mass in Lawrence Park and Blessing of the Fleet on Berwick Bay lend an eye heavenward to give thanks for the bountiful natural bless-ings — whether mineral or organic — which have allowed this area to thrive.

Every facet of social or busi-ness life revolves around here or is made possible by the nat-ural blessings characteristic of this community.

The rivers, bayous, swamps and Gulf of Mexico have al-ways provided a rich life, if not monetarily, of sustenance.

Originally begun in 1936 as a tribute to the area’s shrimp-ing trade, the festival took on a new dimension in 1967 when the Labor Day weekend obser-vance changed its name.

Oil and all its riches brought renewed life and an added di-mension to a fishing communi-ty, and the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival was born.

Its history is a rich one, its salute is sincere.

Here, for the record, is a thumbnail sketch of festival history. See for yourself how it has evolved since its very mod-est beginnings.

Morgan City ArchivesChronology of

ShrimpFestival Celebrations

Morgan CityInitiated in 1936

In 1936 one local man, Harvey J. Lewis, was due cred-it for this port’s adoption of the old-world custom of blessing the boats. He was vice-presi-dent of an independent union of fishermen and trappers who had the support of all its mem-bers in initiating this obser-

vance.The Gulf Coast Seafoods

Producers and Trappers Association grew out of an or-ganization of fishermen and trappers formed here in 1935 by the American Federation of Labor. It was somewhat in-effective; and in 1936 another independent local group was organized under the guidance of Lewis and grew rapidly in membership.

Vice President P. Acklen LeBlanc in 1937 suggested the idea of establishing an annu-al blessing of the fleet custom, styled after an old Italian cer-

emony attended by fisherfolk who decorated their boats and made a holiday of the occasion.

A crucifix was blessed by the priest and then thrown into the sea with much competi-tion among owners of fishing vessels to see who could recov-er the Holy symbol. The find-er was permitted to keep the crucifix aboard his vessel for a year. Legend says that not once was a crucifix ever lost.

The annual celebration in Morgan City began in 1936 with a street parade. In 1937

The Daily Review/Zachary FitzgeraldMarching bands are always a popular part of the Shrimp & Petroleum Festival Street Parade.

1992 — 57thFirst in festival his-

tory canceled. It was caused by Hurricane Andrew, which made landfall at St. Mary Parish in the early morning hours of Aug. 26, 1992, eight days before the celebration was supposed to begin. Despite considerations that the festival could go on as planned, at least on a scaled-down basis, the ultimate de-cision of the festival association board was to cancel so that all lo-cal energies could con-tinue to be focused on cleanup operations. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee offered, and the festival accepted, an invitation to host a delayed 1992 festival at Lakeside Shopping Center, with all pro-ceeds donated back to the festival. King: Kenneth L. Theriot; Queen: Caridad Hebert; Young King: Justin Cheramie; Young Queen: Ashley Hudson; Priest: the Rev. Paul LaFleur, St. Stephen Catholic Church, was scheduled celebrant.

Mr. Charlie: A window on energy history

SUBMITTED BY VIRGIL ALLENInternational Petroleum

Museum & Exposition presidentMORGAN CITY — Morgan City is

the home to the only place in the world where the general public can walk aboard an authentic offshore drilling rig, the “Mr. Charlie.”

Tourists come from all over the world, as well as every state in the U. S., and of course, locally. They come as single tourists, families, school groups, industrial groups, RV groups, and tour buses. Many come with no knowledge of the industry but a desire to learn, and some come wanting to see how their dad, mom or other relative works and lives off-shore. Tours range in size from one tourist to school groups with 150 students and every size in-between. The tour-ists usually come by automobile, but many have also come by recreational vehicle, tour bus, school bus, motor-cycle, bicycle, boat, and by foot. The museum strives to accommodate ev-ery tourist and tour group to the best of its ability. This includes tours giv-en at alternate tour times and on Sunday when requested. The muse-um has also provided meals on some occasions. For several years each spring, the museum has hosted a bus/RV tour group that includes lunch with their tour. The Rig Museum has also hosted over-night stays.

This summer the museum has been hosting eight bus tours through Go West Tours. The tour participants are all French speaking and bring their own interpreter. The groups have ranged in size from 20 to 49 tourists. The guests have come from several different countries including France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Haiti, and Madagascar.

The Rig Museum also hosts many local groups including special guests of the Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, Cajun Coast Visitors & Convention Bureau, the St. Mary Chamber of Commerce, the Cypress Sawmill Festival, the Veterans of Foreign

Wars, the American Legion, the Port of Morgan City, as well as local schools, companies, and civic organi-zations.

A guided tour begins with an expla-nation of the history of the offshore oil and gas industry that began in Morgan City in 1947. Production operations are also discussed while viewing the museum’s production platform.

As the tour moves inside the living quarters, the tour guide talks about, and shows, the staterooms and tells

how they may differ from a more modern rig that is built to properly accommodate female workers. Also discussed are the many job op-portunities avail-able offshore and the pros and cons of working off-

shore. The tour then moves to the recreation room to learn what “off tower,” free time options are avail-able to offshore workers. While view-ing models, time is also spent dis-cussing the evolution of offshore drill-ing rigs that have progressed from the 40-foot maximum water depth of the “Mr. Charlie” to the 12,000-foot-depth capabilities of the newer rigs. Afterward, when visiting the mess hall and galley, tourists may have an opportunity to talk to the chef as he prepares lunch and supper for the students staying on the rig. The tour then moves back outside to view an Oceaneering International remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and discuss the operation and uses of the under-water robot. Next up is the pipe rack deck and drill floor where tourists are given an explanation of how drill-ing was done on the “Mr. Charlie” and how it has changed and improved with modern technology and equip-ment to provide a much safer work-ing environment.

Recent additions to the museum in-clude new exhibits and the Diving & ROV His tor i ca l Preservat i on Museum. Guided tours of “Mr. Charlie” are given at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays,

The Daily Review/Diane Miller Fears More than 60 tourists from France recently took a tour of International Petroleum Museum & Exposition’s “Mr. Charlie,” with Virgil Allen, museum presi-dent. “Mr. Charlie” is an authentic offshore drilling rig is not only a site for tour-ists, it is also used to train oilfield workers and as a backdrop for movies.

Once a working offshore rig, it's now an industry museum in Morgan City

A guided tour begins with an explanation of the history of the off-

shore oil and gas indus-try that began in Morgan

City in 1947.

PORT ARTHUR, Texas (AP) — As the na-tion plans new defenses against the more power-ful storms and higher tides expected from cli-mate change, one project stands out: an ambitious proposal to build a nearly 60-mile “spine” of con-crete seawalls, earthen barriers, floating gates and steel levees on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Like other oceanfront projects, this one would protect homes, delicate ecosystems and vital in-frastructure, but it also has another priority — to shield some of the crown jewels of the petroleum industry, which is blamed for contributing to global warming and now wants the federal government to build safeguards against the consequences of it.

The plan is focused on a stretch of coastline that runs from the Louisiana border to industrial en-claves south of Houston that are home to one of the world’s largest con-centrations of petrochem-ical facilities, including most of Texas’ 30 refiner-ies, which represent 30 percent of the nation’s re-fining capacity.

Texas is seeking at least $12 billion for the full coastal spine, with nearly all of it coming from public funds. Last month, the government fast-tracked an initial $3.9 billion for three sep-arate, smaller storm bar-rier projects that would

specifically protect oil fa-cilities.

T h a t f o l l o w e d Hurricane Harvey, which roared ashore last Aug. 2 5 a n d s w a m p e d Houston and parts of the coast, temporarily knock-ing out a quarter of the area’s oil refining capaci-ty and causing average gasoline prices to jump 28 cents a gallon nation-wide. Many Republicans argue that the Texas oil projects belong at the top of Washington’s spending list.

“Our overall economy, not only in Texas but in the entire country, is so much at risk from a high storm surge,” said Matt Sebesta, a Republican who as Brazoria County judge oversees a swath of Gulf Coast.

But the idea of taxpay-ers around the country paying to protect refiner-ies worth billions, and in a state where top politi-cians still dispute cli-mate change’s validity, doesn’t sit well with some.

“The oil and gas indus-try is getting a free ride,” said Brandt Mannchen, a member of the Sierra Club’s executive commit-tee in Houston. “You don’t hear the industry making a peep about paying for any of this and why should they? There’s all this push like, ‘Please Senator Cornyn, Please Senator Cruz, we need money for this and that.’”

The Diving & ROV Historical Preservation Museum is an interactive museum and the only place in the world where you can hear about the amazing history of these two industries in the same place. Our small communi-ty of Morgan City is near the Gulf of Mexico and is rich in history of compa-nies and individuals unique to this industry. You can go anywhere in the worldwide of oilfield and find someone or some-thing that ties back to Morgan City.

Come visit us to see, touch and hear about this fascinating history. We have two rooms of displays and are adding more. There are also outside static displays to peak your interest.

Tour times vary accord-ing to your interest, usual-ly 45 minutes, for this mu-seum. But up to two hours if our sister museum, the Mr. Charlie Rig Museum, is included.

The first well drilled in Louisiana was in 1901 near Jennings. The first over water drilling from docks was in 1910. The year 1947 is considered the true birth of the offshore industry. This well was drilled near Morgan City and is celebrated with a monument on Brasher Avenue in the center of town.

In 1954, our host muse-um the International Petroleum Museum & Exposition commonly called Mr. Charlie, was launched. It is drilling his-tory located right here, sit-ting in the Atchafalaya River in Morgan City, as the world’s first movable, reusable drilling rig. It had an illustrious 32-year ca-reer. A local man from Marksville designed and built it, Alden “Doc”

The Daily Review/Diane Miller Fears Bryce Merrill, curator of the Diving & ROV Historical Preservation Museum in Morgan City, stands in front of an Oceaneering Advanced Work System — One Atmosphere Diving Bell. It is rated to a water depth of 3,000 feet. The bell allows two people to dive to depth for up to 8 hours and return to the surface without decompression. It is one of only four built. In 1984, Merrill made a dive to 3,012 feet with one of these bells off the coast of Brazil. He requests to be contacted if anyone knows where the other three bells are located.

By ZACHARY FITZGERALD

zfitzgerald@daily-review.comSouth Louisiana may

have seen the worst of the economic downturn, but how quickly and to what level the oil and gas industry will recover remains to be seen, said Burt Adams, chairman of the Atchafalaya chap-ter of the American Petroleum Institute.

A d a m s has served a s t h e c h a p t e r ’ s c h a i r m a n for about two years. He is also president of OGRS LLC, an investment company focusing on the oilfield.

According to the chap-ter’s mission statement, the chapter was founded in 1956 to provide a fo-rum for the discussion of local drilling problems and producing methods, along with providing in-formation on new regu-lations and technology in the oil industry. The chapter’s members are mostly from the Morgan City area.

API awards college scholarships to students each year and also has provided funds for proj-ects at the technical col-lege campus in Morgan City and the four area high schools.

Adams recently re-ceived positive comments from API members say-ing that some boats are getting back to work and some construction proj-ects are commencing. Adams called the area in-dustry’s outlook “the brightest future we’ve seen in a few years.”

The worldwide oil and gas industry has been in recovery for about 1 1/2 years. But the offshore sector, which includes St. Mary Parish, “is just starting to see the bot-tom” of the economic downturn and looking to-ward the beginning of a rebound, he said.

How long that recovery will take is uncertain.

The technology of fracking has allowed for a substantial amount of oil and gas production throughout the nation, but south Louisiana hasn’t been among the areas that have greatly benefitted yet, Adams said.

Adams predicts that in five to 10 years some of that technology will be used in the Gulf of Mexico. But, for now, it’s much cheaper to use fracking in other areas.

The old model of high-er oil prices correspond-ing with greater industri-al activity in the Gulf of Mexico isn’t necessarily the case today, he said.

“Oil prices doubled in the last two years. That usually equates to activi-ty doubling,” Adams said.

However, when the price of oil rose from $30 to $60 per barrel, “we did not see Gulf of Mexico ac-tivity doubling” despite a doubling of the overall U.S. rig count, Adams said.

“A lot of our member companies have diversified into these other areas and have equipment and peo-ple in these areas,” Adams said.

But there are some piec-es of equipment that can-not be used in other re-gions.

“You just can’t take an offshore supply vessel and bring it to North Dakota,” he said.

Adams previously thought that $70 per bar-rel oil would indicate a turnaround for the oilfield economy. But the price

reached that mark, and didn’t spark major activity in the Gulf, he said.

“It’s starting to turn, but I think the old models we

used five and 10 years ago, with the new technologies across the world … no lon-ger are a good indicator of a strong future,” Adams

said.Adams expects oil pric-

es to stay around where they are now for at least the near future.

Laborde, a true pioneer in the oil industry.

Salvage divers started working in the United States in the early 1800’s. Around 1929 a diver named Rigden Crawford, who worked in the early Californian oilfield, is

looked upon as the first diver in the offshore diving industry. There were only about 50 divers working in the U.S. until the mid-1930’s. By the late 1970’s, there were more than 30 diving companies in South Louisiana and Texas.

The birth of the offshore

diving in Morgan City started about 1947. It was mostly pipe laying, sand-bagging, jetting in pipe-lines, pipeline tie-ins, re-covery of lost equipment and salvage work.

Around 1940, there were only about six commercial divers on the Gulf Coast,

but that changed rather quickly. Two of the early dive companies and divers in this area were Buck Frolich of Frolich Brothers Marine Divers and Al Warriner’s Underwater Services. Another company still with local family in Morgan City is Standford Brothers.

In 1957, the 85-foot schooner “Jesting” pulled into Lake Pontchartrain with three U.S. Navy div-ers on board. That was the start of Taylor Diving which was the turning point of commercial diving in the Gulf of Mexico. Years later, Taylor Diving broke new ground with the use of saturation diving.

Another early local div-ing company was Dick Evans Diving Company. One of their hands was lo-cal diver Joe Savoie who went on to develop the forerunner of the modern diving hat.

Another small local com-pany with the grandiose name of World Wide Divers was founded in Morgan City in 1964. It is a tremendous story. They morphed into and are still a r o u n d t o d a y a s Oceaneering International and are the gorilla in the corner in the diving and ROV industry.

Continental Divers was another small company with a larger than life per-sona. One of the founders, George Williams, still lives in the area today.

Besides the diving com-panies and people who

made a huge impact on the worldwide diving industry, there were divers who were inventors of diving equipment and tools used worldwide even today.

One such diver was Ben Miller who started building diving hats in this area in the early 1970’s. The Miller Diving Helmet is still being made and sold today.

ROVs have taken over the work in the oilfields around the world, as the water depth has increased beyond the practical depths for diving. Over the years this system has come into its own.

This technology was in its infancy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It now has grown into a powerful work tool in the underwater world.

A r o u n d 1 9 8 0 , Oceaneering got into the ROV game. In 1986, they started building ROVs here in Morgan City and still do. At one point they were the largest ROV manufacturer in the world, right here in our hometown.

We have expanded our exhibits over the last year and moved into another room.

The Diving & ROV Historical Preservation Museum was started to preserve this rich history, and to shout it out to the world. It is intended to be a living, breathing muse-um. So I am asking for your help to this end. Any stories, equipment to do-nate or loan to the muse-

um would be gratefully ac-cepted. No matter how large or small.

Helping to make the new Diving & ROV Historical Preservation Museum a reality were generous donations by ma-ny people and businesses. They include:

Steve Struble, Byron Vournazos, Eric Godbold, Tom McGinnis, Robert Frangenberg, Lafayette Electric, E.J. Fields Machine Works, Bob McMillan, Matt Dragna, Tiger Island Hardware, O c e a n e e r i n g International, Tommy Gros, Scott Croft, Matt Dragna, George Williams, Dave Martin of Wheel Job Diving and others.

A special thanks goes to Virgil Allen and Micah Allen for all their help and support.

We are nonprofit and are open for tours at the same time as the Mr. Charlie. Tours are 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Tours to the Diving & R O V H i s t o r i c a l Preservation Museum are free, with donations ap-preciated.

During the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival we will be open: Aug. 31, Sept. 1 and Sept. 3 from tour hours starting at 10 a.m. with the last tour at 3 p.m. Tours on Sept. 2 will be at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.

critics of federal spend-ing, Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both backed using tax-payer funds to fortify the oil facilities’ protections and the Texas coast. Cruz called it “a tremendous step forward.”

Federal, state and lo-cal money is also bolster-ing defenses elsewhere, including on New York’s Staten Island, around Atlantic City, New Jersey, and in other com-munities hammered by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

Construction in Texas could begin in several months on the three sec-tions of storm barrier. While plans are still be-

ing finalized, some dirt levees will be raised to about 17 feet high, and 6 miles of 19-foot-tall flood-walls would be built or strengthened around Port Arthur, a Texas-Louisiana border locale of pungent chemical smells and towering knots of steel pipes.

The town of 55,000 in-c ludes the Saudi -controlled Motiva oil re-finery, the nation’s larg-est, as well as refineries owned by oil giants Valero Energy Corp. and Total S.A. There are also almost a dozen petro-chemical facilities.

“You’re looking at a lot of people, a lot of homes, but really a lot of indus-try,” said Steve Sherrill, an Army Corps of Engineers resident engi-neer in Port Arthur, as he peered over a Gulf tribu-tary lined with chunks of granite and metal gates, much of which is set to be reinforced.

The second barrier project features around 25 miles of new levees and seawalls in nearby Orange County, where Chevron, DuPont and other companies have fa-cilities. The third would extend and heighten sea-walls around Freeport, home to a Phillips 66 ex-port terminal for lique-fied natural gas and nearby refinery, as well as several chemical facil-ities.

The proposals ap-proved for funding origi-nally called for building more protections along larger swaths of the Texas coast, but they were scaled back and now deliberately focus on refin-eries.

“That was one of the main reasons we looked at some of those areas,” said Tony Williams, environ-mental review coordinator for the Texas Land Commissioner’s Office.

Oil and chemical compa-nies also pushed for more protection for surrounding communities to shield their workforces, but “not every property can be pro-tected,” said Sheri Willey, deputy chief of project management for the Army Corps of Engineers’ upper Texas district.

“Our regulations tell us what benefits we need to include, and they have to be national economic ben-

efits,” Willey said.Once work is complete

on the three sections, they could eventually be inte-grated into a larger coastal spine system.

In some places along Texas’ 370-mile Gulf Coast, 18 feet is lost annu-ally to erosion, threaten-ing to suck more wetlands, roads and buildings into rising seas.

Protecting a wide ex-panse will be expensive. After Harvey, a special Texas commission pre-pared a report seeking $61 billion from Congress to “future proof” the state against such natural di-sasters, without mention-ing climate change, which scientists say will cause heavier rains and stronger storms.

Texas has not tapped its own rainy day fund of around $11 billion. According to federal rules, 35 percent of funds spent by the Army Corps of Engineers must be matched by local jurisdic-tions, and the GOP-c o n t r o l l e d s t a t e Legislature could help cov-er such costs. But such spending may be tough for many conservatives to swallow.

Texas “should be fund-ing things like this itself,” said Chris Edwards, an economist at the libertari-an Cato Institute. “Texans are proud of their conser-vatism, but, unfortunately, when decisions get made in Washington, that fru-gality goes out the door.”

State officials counter that protecting the oil fa-cilities is a matter of na-tional security.

“The effects of the next devastating storm could be felt nationwide,” Rep. Randy Weber, a fiercely conservative Republican from suburban Houston who has nonetheless au-thored legislation backing the coastal spine.

Major oil companies did not return messages seek-ing comment on funding for the projects. But Suzanne Lemieux, mid-stream group manager for the American Petroleum Institute, said the indus-try already pays into pro-grams such as the federal Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and the Waterways Trust Fund, only to see Congress di-vert that money else-where.

SMIG continues consolidation pushGroup's leader sees no victories in effort to simplify parish's web of taxing entities

By ZACHARY FITZGERALD

zfitzgerald@daily-review.comT h e S t . M a r y

Industrial Group is still working toward its goal of pushing for more con-solidation of entities within local government, though progress has slowed during the past year, SMIG President Bob Miller said.

Miller is in his second straight year as SMIG president. He’s also pres ident o f Major E q u i p m e n t & Remediation, an oilfield service company in Amelia.

Consolidation of enti-ties within St. Mary Parish government con-tinues to be an issue for which the group is advo-cating to find ways to save taxpayer money.

“The consolidation of governmental services would probably be one of the best things to happen as long as the money saved will go back to the people and lower taxes,” Miller said.

SMIG acts as a voice representing the inter-

ests and advocating on behalf of St. Mary Parish industry. Miller has been on the SMIG board since 1997 and was previously presi-dent from 2000-03 and 2008-12.

SMIG leaders hope to make more progress on consolidation in the coming year as not much happened in re-cent months, Miller said.

“We haven’t had any significant victories,” he said, referring to the past year.

In September 2016, the parish started the consolidation when vot-ers approved consolida-t i o n c o m b i n i n g Waterworks District 5 and sewer districts 5 and 8 to form Water and Sewer Commission 3.

Miller and others in the group were also pleased with the consol-idation of schools in 2016 with the closure of M . D . S h a n n o n Elementary in Morgan City and J.A. Hernandez in Franklin.

He realizes that con-solidation is a difficult task to accomplish, but

some parish officials are considering a few of the group’s ideas for consoli-dation.

Group leaders thought the economic downturn of the past three years would’ve been an ideal time to consolidate gov-ernment and cut expens-es with people leaving the parish, he said.

“No rates have gone down on taxes. Nothing has gone down, just the people who pay them,” Miller said.

Industry o f f i c ia ls “would like to see better government,” he said.

The Young Memorial community and techni-cal college campus in Morgan City is a key as-set to the parish, Miller said.

The campus officially became part of South Louisiana Community College in July. Young Memorial had previously been part of South C e n t r a l L o u i s i a n a Technical College.

Young Memorial will still retain all of the technical courses while adding community col-lege courses.

“We hope it’s a good

thing,” Miller said of the transition. “We need a voice to try to lobby to keep this (the technical college).”

Miller views the techni-cal courses at the college as especially vital to the area’s economic success. Anthony Baham, now dean for Maritime and Continuing Education at SLCC, “has been a fresh addition there” during the past few years, Miller said.

“We’ve had nothing but good experiences with him so far,” Miller said.

N i c h o l l s S t a t e University in Thibodaux and the University of Louisiana-Lafayette play an important role in edu-cating the area’s popula-tion, too, he said.

He also hopes that the roughly $42 million in dredging funds that the Port of Morgan City is set to receive within the next two years to dredge the Atchafalaya River and Bar Channel will help in-dustry.

“This area exists be-cause of the waterway. If they open it up, maybe that’ll help. It can’t hurt I don’t think,” Miller said.

Trump administration de-emphasizes need to conserve oilWASHINGTON (AP)

— Conserving oil is no longer an economic im-perative for the U.S., the Trump administration declares in a major new policy statement that threatens to undermine decades of government campaigns for gas-thrifty cars and other conserva-tion programs.

The position was out-lined in a memo released last month in support of the administration’s pro-posal to relax fuel mile-age standards. The gov-

ernment released the memo online this month without fanfare.

Growth of natural gas and other alternatives to petroleum has reduced the need for imported oil, which “in turn affects the need of the nation to con-serve energy,” the Energy Department said. It also cites the now decade-old fracking revolution that has unlocked U.S. shale oil reserves, giving “the United States more flexi-bility than in the past to use our oil resources with

less concern.”With the memo, the

administration is formal-ly challenging old justifi-cations for conservation — even congressionally prescribed ones, as with the mileage standards. The memo made no men-tion of climate change. Transportation is the sin-gle largest source of cli-mate-changing emis-sions.

Pres ident Donald Trump has questioned the existence of climate change, embraced the no-

tion of “energy domi-nance” as a national goal, and called for easing what he calls burden-some regulation of oil, gas and coal, including repealing the Obama Clean Power Plan.

Despite the increased oil supplies, the adminis-tration continues to be-lieve in the need to “use energy wisely,” the Energy Department said, without elaboration. Department spokesmen did not respond Friday to questions about that

statement.Reaction was quick.“It’s like saying, ‘I’m a

big old fat guy, and food prices have dropped — it’s time to start eating again,’” said Tom Kloza, longtime oil analyst with the Maryland-based Oil P r i c e I n f o r m a t i o n Service.

“If you look at it from the other end, if you do believe that fossil fuels do some sort of damage to the atmosphere ... you come up with a different viewpoint,” Kloza said.

“There’s a downside to living large.”

Climate change is a “clear and present and increasing danger,” said Sean Donahue, a lawyer for the Environmental Defense Fund.

In a big way, the Energy Department statement just acknowl-edges the world’s vastly changed reality when it comes to oil.

Just 10 years ago, in summer 2008, oil prices were peaking at $147 a

barrel and pummeling the global economy. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries was enjoying a massive transfer of wealth, from countries dependent on imported oil. Prices now are about $65.

Today, the U.S. is vying with Russia for the title of top world oil producer. U.S. oil production hit an all-time high this sum-mer, aided by the techno-logical leaps of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

How much the U.S. economy is hooked up to the gas pump, and vice versa, plays into any number of policy consid-erations, not just econom-ic or environmental ones, but military and geopolit-ical ones, said John Graham, a former official in the George W. Bush ad-ministration, now dean of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University.

“Our ability to play that role as a leader in the world is stronger when we are the stron-gest producer of oil and gas,” Graham said. “But there are still reasons to want to reduce the amount we consume.”

Current administration proposals include one that would freeze mileage standards for cars and light trucks after 2020, instead of continuing to make them tougher.

The proposal eventual-ly would increase U.S. oil consumption by 500,000 barrels a day, the admin-istration says. While Trump officials say the freeze would improve highway safety, docu-ments released this month showed senior E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection Agency staff-ers calculate the admin-istration’s move would actually increase high-way deaths.

“American businesses, consumers and our envi-

ronment are all the los-ers under his plan,” said Sen. Tom Carper, a Delaware Democrat. “The only clear winner is the oil industry. It’s not hard to see whose side President Trump is on.”

Administration sup-port has been tepid to null on some other long-running govern-ment programs for alter-natives to gas-powered cars.

Bill Wehrum, assistant administration of the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, spoke dismis-sively of electric cars — a young industry support-ed financially by the fed-eral government and ma-ny states — this month in a call with reporters announcing the mileage freeze proposal.

“People just don’t want to buy them,” the EPA of-ficial said.

Oil and gas interests are campaigning for changes in government conservation efforts on mileage standards, biofu-els and electric cars.

In June, for instance, the American Petroleum Institute and other in-dustries wrote eight gov-ernors, promoting the dominance of the inter-nal-combustion engine and questioning their states’ incentives to con-sumers for electric cars.

Surging U.S. and gas production has brought on “energy security and abundance , ” Frank Macchiarola, a group di-rector of the American Petroleum Institute trade association, told re-porters this week, in a telephone call dedicated to urging scrapping or overhauling of one U.S. program for biofuels.

Fears of oil scarcity used to be a driver of U.S. energy policy, Macchiarola said.

Thanks partly to in-creased production, “that pillar has really been rendered essentially moot,” he said.

Oil conservationno longer vitalpriority for feds

Officials: Boost in dredge funds to help businessBy ZACHARY FITZGERALD

zfitzgerald@daily-review.com

Port of Morgan City leaders say a significant increase in funds to dredge the port’s waterway during the next two years should boost the region’s economy.

Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District lead-ers expect to receive over $40 million through the Corps for dredging within the next two years.

Fluid mud, known as fluff, accumulates in the bar channel, which starts at the mouth of the river and empties into the Gulf, making navigation diffi-cult or impossible for many vessels. Sand builds up in the river impeding naviga-tion as well.

Opening the channel should bring more water-way commerce to the area, including import-export ships, officials said. No im-port-export vessels have visited the port since 2015 due to the lack of water depth.

Corps leaders intend to have the river and bar channel dredged to the congressionally authorized 20-foot depth by March 2019. A 2017 study showed that having the bar chan-nel maintained to 20 feet deep, 365 days a year would have an annual eco-nomic impact of at least $137 million and up to $270 million.

In February, area offi-cials first learned that President Donald Trump’s proposed Army Civil Works 2019 fiscal year budget in-cluded about $12.7 million in dredging funds for the Port of Morgan City through the Corps.

Before learning of the

boost in dredging funds, the Port of Morgan City had received roughly $6 million annually for the previous few years. Dredging funds had been on the decline since the peak of $15 million re-ceived in 2005.

Officials then learned in May that the port would receive $20 million in sup-plemental dredging funds through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge the Atchafalaya River and Bar Channel as a result of Hurricane Harvey relief funds.

Another $8.1 million should fund dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, most of which will be used in the Morgan City area.

During August, Corps officials were in the midst of negotiations with Brice Civil Constructors to use an agitation dredge to de-crease the density of the f luid mud in the Atchafalaya River Bar Channel and allow more vessels to travel through the area’s waterways.

Tim Connell, the Corps’ Atchafalaya region man-ager, hoped the Corps would be able to award the contract sometime in September.

Additionally, officials were working on a contract to be able to dredge areas of the river not covered by the agitation dredge con-tract, Connell said. The Corps doesn’t yet have enough funds available to do all of that work, but offi-cials plan to break up the work into a base contract with options for more dredging, he said.

The Corps should be able to award the base con-tract by mid-September.

Realignment expands Young Memorial offerings

The Daily Review/Zachary FitzgeraldIn April 2017, Carl Moore discusses a full-bridge simulator that looks like a towing vessel and can be con-verted to be made into an offshore supply vessel at Hugh & Byrnes Young Marine and Petroleum Safety Training Center on the Young Memorial Campus located at 3225 Youngs Road in Morgan City. The center transitioned to become part of South Louisiana Community College in July 2017, and Young Memorial’s pri-mary campus, 900 Youngs Road, realigned with SLCC in July 2018. The campus had previously been part of South Central Louisiana Technical College. Moore is now assistant dean of SLCC’s Marine and Petroleum Safety Training Centers in Morgan City and Houma.

The Young Memorial college campus in Morgan City recently finished the realignment process to join South Louisiana Community College, which will allow the campus to offer courses transferra-ble to any four-year university in Louisiana.

Young Memorial will also retain all of the tech-nical college courses that it already offered. South Louisiana Community College Chancellor Natalie Harder said she recognizes that Young Memorial’s technical college component is vitally important to the community, and officials will work to strength-en those programs at Young Memorial.

South Louisiana Community College’s main campus is in Lafayette.

As of July 1, Young Memorial’s primary campus located at 900 Youngs Road in Morgan City com-pleted the transition to realign with South Louisiana Community College having previously been part of South Central Louisiana Technical College.

In July 2017, Young Memorial’s transition began when the Hugh & Byrnes Young Marine and Petroleum Safety Training Center became part of South Louisiana Community College.

During that first transition phase, officials transferred all of the noncredit courses, which are

In March 2017, the board for the Louisiana

Community and Technical College System voted in favor of several college realignments, including one to realign South

Central Louisiana Technical College’s Young

Memorial Campus in Morgan City with South Louisiana Community

College.

typically classes that go toward a certification and not a degree , Harder said.

Since the full transi-tion is complete at Young Memorial’s pri-mary campus, students may begin earning credits toward associ-ate degrees and general education courses that are transferrable to any four-year university in the state.

In March 2017, the board for the Louisiana C o m m u n i t y a n d Te c h n i c a l C o l l e g e System voted in favor of several college re-alignments, including one to realign South C e n t r a l L o u i s i a n a Technica l Co l l ege ’s Yo u n g M e m o r i a l Campus in Morgan City with South Louisiana Community College.

Students who were already enrol led at Young Memorial, when the board made the de-cision, are grandfa-thered in at their cur-rent tuition level for up to two years or until they finish their pro-gram, Harder said ear-lier this year.

System leaders have been handling multiple

college realignments for the past seven to 10 years due to financial

reasons, to provide bet-ter service to the com-munity and to allow for

growth, Harder said.S o u t h C e n t r a l

U.S. poised to pass Saudis, Russia in oil productionEditor's note: This story appeared in

The Daily Review on July 18.The Associated Press

The United States is on pace to leap-frog both Saudi Arabia and Russia and reclaim the title of the world’s biggest oil producer for the first time since the 1970s.

The latest forecast from the U.S. Energy Information Administration pre-dicts that U.S. output will grow next year to 11.8 million barrels a day.

“If the forecast holds, that would make the U.S. the world’s leading producer of crude,” says Linda Capuano, who heads the agency, a part of the Energy Department.

The last decade or so has seen a revolu-tion in American energy production, led

by techniques including fracking and hori-zontal drilling.

Saudi Arabia and Russia could upend that forecast by boosting their own pro-duction. In the face of rising global oil pric-es, members of the OPEC cartel and a few non-members including Russia agreed last month to ease production caps that had contributed to the run-up in prices.

President Donald Trump has urged the Saudis to pump more oil to contain rising prices. He tweeted on June 30 that King Salman agreed to boost production “may-be up to 2,000,000 barrels.” The White House later clarified that the king said his country has a reserve of 2 million barrels a day that could be tapped “if and when necessary.”

The idea that the U.S. could ever

again become the world’s top oil pro-ducer once seemed preposterous.

“A decade ago the only question was how fast would U.S. production go down,” said Daniel Yergin, author of several books about the oil industry in-cluding a history, “The Prize.”

The United States led the world in oil production for much of the 20th cen-tury, but the Soviet Union surpassed America in 1974, and Saudi Arabia did the same in 1976, according to Energy Department figures.

By the end of the 1970s the USSR was producing one-third more oil than the U.S.; by the end of the 1980s, Soviet output was nearly double that of the U.S.

The last decade or so has seen a rev-

olution in American energy production, however, led by techniques including hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and horizontal drilling.

Those innovations — and the break-up of the Soviet Union — helped the U.S. narrow the gap. Last year, Russia produced more than 10.3 million bar-rels a day, Saudi Arabia pumped just under 10 million, and the U.S. came in under 9.4 million barrels a day, accord-ing to U.S. government figures.

The U.S. has been pumping more than 10 million barrels a day on aver-age since February, and probably pumped about 10.9 million barrels a day in June, up from 10.8 million in May, the energy agency said last month in its latest short-term outlook.

Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, holds a 35-pound diving helmet during a June 2017 visit to Morgan City while talking with com-mercial diving instructors Jerry Shepherd, left, and Phillip Morton at Young Memorial Campus, which was part of South Central Louisiana Technical College at the time. As of July 1, 2018, the campus finished its realignment to become part of South Louisiana Community College while still maintaining all of the technical courses offered at Young Memorial.

weather permitting. For more information about the rig via online, visit www.rigmuseum.com or call 985-255-9642.

In addition to being a tourist attraction, the rig also serves as a hands-on, live-aboard training facility. It is used by companies to provide realistic train-ing, working and living conditions to prepare people to work offshore. D i a m o n d O f f s h o r e Drilling was the first company to train on the rig starting in 1997 and continuing ever since. The rig also is utilized by Oceaneering Inter-national with their Remote ly Operated Vehicle, Asset Integrity, R o p e A c c e s s a n d Offshore Project Group divisions. Other compa-nies utilizing the rig for t r a i n i n g i n c l u d e FabCon, Jones County Junior College, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforce-ment and others. This training keeps the rig active and allows tour-ists the opportunity to see men and women working and living on the rig which gives them an even better offshore rig experience. Guided

tours are given in order to safely navigate around the ongoing training.

The “Mr. Charlie” has also been the setting for filming by several pro-duction companies need-ing to simulate an off-shore environment . Several documentaries, TV series and full-length movies have used the rig for productions including Weather Channe l ’s “Storm Stories,” “NCIS New Orleans,” and Nicholas Spark’s “The Best of Me.”

For the past 64 years, the “Mr. Charlie” has led the offshore oil and gas industries, and through training and education of the public, the rig contin-ues to lead the industry into the future.

Why Morgan City?In 1947, Kerr-McGee

set up base in Morgan City to go offshore, out of sight of land, to drill the first successful offshore oil well, making Morgan City the birthplace of the offshore oil and gas in-dustries.

Alden “Doc” Laborde went to work for Kerr-McGee in 1948 as their marine superintendent. It was there Doc came up with the idea of a mov-able, reusable offshore drilling rig. Doc left Kerr-McGee to pursue his idea and in early 1953 teamed with Murphy Oil Co. to form Ocean Drilling and Exploration Company and built the “Mr. Charlie,” the first movable offshore drilling rig. Doc went on to de-velop the f irst de-signed-for-purpose off-shore supply boat, “Ebb Tide,” and the first semi-submersible drill-ing rig, “Ocean Driller,” making him known as the “Father of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industries.”

The “Mr. Charlie” was t u r n e d o v e r b y Alexander Shipyard to ODECO on June 15, 1954. The rig went un-der contract to Shell Oil Company and drilled its first well in their new field in East Bay, near the mouth o f the M i s s i s s i p p i R i v e r. Despite skepticism from offshore industry profes-sionals, “Mr. Charlie” performed up to expecta-tions and went on to drill more than 250 wells for every other major oil company operating in the Gulf, with a cumula-tive depth of 2.3 million feet.

The above-water, visi-ble part of the “Mr. Charlie” is attached to a barge which can be float-ed to location then sunk to bottom in order to drill a well. The rig’s barge is approximately 220 feet long and 85 feet wide. Under the living quar-ters, pontoons extend the width to 136 feet. The barge is 14-feet deep, with a 4-foot skirt ex-tending below its bottom

on both port and star-board sides. The floor of the platform is 60 feet above the barge, support-ed by the massive legs that serve to connect the barge and platform. These legs also serve as conduit for connecting services such as electric, water and air lines, ele-vator access and other services needed to oper-ate an independent facili-ty, out of sight of land.

“Mr. Charlie” could ac-commodate a crew of 58. Once “Mr. Charlie” was on location, it was an in-dependent island and nearly totally self-suffi-cient with room to store drinking water, food and supplies for the crew. The rig generated its own electricity, disposed of its own waste, provided its own communication sys-tem and contained enough fuel to accom-plish these tasks. It also maintained supplies and equipment to perform its job of drilling a well. In addition, the rig had to be prepared for any emergency with a com-plete fire-fighting sys-tem, blow-out preventers, and medical supplies and equipment.

“Mr. Charlie” was ca-pable of drilling wells in water depths up to 40 feet and had a prolific career lasting nearly four decades . “Mr. Charlie” revolutionized the offshore oil industry in the Gulf and world-wide.

The rig was retired in late 1986 and stored at the ODECO yard in Amelia when drilling activity headed into deeper water than the length of the “Mr. Charlie’s” legs would al-low.

In 1993, the Inter-nat ional Petro leum Museum and Exposition Inc., a non-profit corpo-ration, was formed to purchase the rig.

The rig was then moved to its present lo-cation on the east bank of the Atchafalaya River in Morgan City.

The offshore industry was born in Morgan City, and “Mr. Charlie” carried it into the Gulf of Mexico and shipped it around the globe. “Mr. Charlie” revolutionized the offshore oil industry and led to the technolo-gy currently being used around the world. So, what began in Morgan City, remains in Morgan City serving the public through educat i on , training, and tourism.

During the Shrimp & Petro leum Fest iva l weekend, guided tours will be given every hour on the hour with the first tour at 10:00am and the last tour at 3:00pm Friday, Satur-day, and Monday. Tours will be given at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. on Sunday. All tours are depending on the weather.

Staff ReportMonitoring data and

environmental conditions leading up to the 2018 Louisiana fall shrimp season indicate the sea-son should be on par with what we have seen over the past several seasons, according to a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries official.

But officials cannot predict potential environ-mental changes that may impact the season in progress, said Peyton Cagle, crustacean pro-gram manager for Wildlife and Fisheries, in an email.

Preliminary landings data for the 2018 Louisiana spring shrimp season show higher than a normal catch at land-ings, Cagle said.

But dockside value during the spring season was lower than tradition-al prices during spring shrimp season, he said. Many factors influence lo-cal shrimp prices, such as imported shrimp prod-ucts and abundance of lo-cal shrimp product.

Trawl samples collected statewide by Wildlife and Fisheries’ biological staff

provided monitoring data for the fall shrimp season. Shrimp catch per unit ef-fort and average size var-ied among basins.

Louisiana has two in-shore shrimp seasons. The spr ing brown shrimp season typical-ly opens in May and con-tinues through June, while the fall white shrimp season typically opens in mid-August a n d r u n s through the third Monday of December, Cagle said.

There are some white shrimp available for har-vest during the spring season, and some brown shrimp during the fall season.

But those are the pre-dominant species, and many people name the season by the predomi-nant species, rather than the time of the year, he said.

Recommendations for opening both the spring and fall shrimp seasons are based on projecting when 50 percent of the available shrimp resource will be 100 count or larger in size, which means 100 shrimp per pound, Cagle said.

These projections are based on data from fish-eries independent trawl samples collected by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries bi-ological staff.

Many environmental factors, including water

temperature and salinity, play an important role in shrimp growth.

Although fall shrimp season utilizes the same 50 percent at 100 count rule, white shrimp are

m a n a g e d slightly differ-ent because they are more tolerant of cer-tain environ-mental condi-t i o n s t h a n brown shrimp.

This allows some white shrimp to stay within the es-tuaries for a longer period of time, typically

yielding a larger shrimp.T h e L o u i s i a n a

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries commission set the following fall shrimp season opening dates.

The portion of state in-side waters from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line west to the Atchafalaya River Ship Channel at Eugene Island as delineated by the River Channel Buoy Line opened Aug. 13.

State inside waters from the Atchafalaya River Ship Channel at Eugene Island as delin-eated by the River Channel Buoy Line west-ward to the western shore of Freshwater Bayou also opened Aug. 13.

Louisiana inside wa-ters from the western shore of Freshwater Bayou westward to the Louisiana-Texas state line opened Aug. 27.

The 83rd Annual

Shrimp & Petroleum Festival

2017 was a tough year in La., better in Ala.From the

Southern Shrimp Alliance In January, the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration’s Gulf of Mexico Data Management division released information regarding December shrimp landings in the Gulf of Mexico.

In December, the commercial fishing industry landed 6.6 million pounds of shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico, up from 5.8 million pounds in December of 2016. Despite the significant increase from 2016, landings last month were 23.4 percent below the prior seven-teen-year historic average for December of 8.7 million pounds.

Landings for the month in the state of Louisiana, at 1.6 million pounds, were 56.0 percent below the prior sev-enteen-year historic average of 3.7 mil-lion pounds for December and were the lowest volume recorded for any December in the data maintained by the Southern Shrimp Alliance going back to 2000.

In contrast, 1.9 million pounds of shrimp were landed in the state of

Alabama in December, an amount 123.8 percent higher than the prior seventeen-year historic average of 0.9 million pounds and the highest amount recorded for any December in the data maintained by the Southern Shrimp Alliance going back to 2000.

The reported volumes in December are consistent with landings through-out 2017. For the state of Louisiana, an annual harvest of 37.4 million pounds was the lowest recorded for the state in the eighteen years for which the Southern Shrimp Alliance has tracked data. This amount was 39.8 percent be-low the prior seventeen-year historic av-erage (63.4 million pounds). However, in Alabama, the 15.4 million pounds of shrimp landed in 2017 were the highest recorded for the state in the Southern Shrimp Alliance’s data compilation and was 47.4 percent above the prior seven-teen-year historic average of 10.4 mil-lion pounds.

For the year, 36.6 million pounds of shrimp were landed in Texas, up from 29.5 million pounds in 2016. Nevertheless, the annual total was 11.0

percent below the prior 17-year historic average of 41.0 million pounds. Landings on the West Coast of Florida (6.2 million pounds) in 2017 were the highest recorded since 2014 and land-ings in Mississippi (4.8 million pounds) were higher than 2016 (4.2 million pounds).

For the Gulf as a whole, shrimpers landed 100.4 million pounds of shrimp in 2017, up from 93.9 million pounds re-ported in the same dataset for 2016. This total was 21.3 percent below the prior seventeen-year historic average of 127.6 million pounds.

Notably, over the last few years, the shrimp landings reported by NOAA have been significantly revised upwards in the data reported by the Fisheries of the United States publication. The month-to-month reporting by NOAA in 2015 indicated that shrimpers landed 106.9 million pounds of shrimp in the Gulf for the year, but the Fisheries of the United States publication reported Gulf shrimp landings of 123.9 million pounds, an increase of 16.0 percent. Similarly, the month-to-month reporting

by NOAA in 2016 indicated that fisher-men landed 93.9 million pounds of shrimp in the Gulf, but this amount was revised upwards to 118.9 million pounds in the most recent Fisheries of the United States, an increase of 26.6 per-cent.

Because there have been significant revisions to the landings data reported in both 2015 and 2016, there is a strong possibility that similar revisions will be made to data for 2017.

Although these data may be subject to further significant revision, reporting in 2017 has consistently indicated a poor harvest year for Louisiana and, in stark contrast, a strong year for shrimpers in Alabama.

For the fourth straight month, no ex-vessel prices were reported by NOAA for the eastern Gulf (the west coast of Florida). Ex-vessel prices reported for the northern (Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi) and western (Texas) Gulf were generally down for all count sizes last month compared to December of 2016, but remained significantly above depressed levels in December 2015.

Bill targets seafood importsEditor's note: This story ap-

peared in the Abbeville Meridional on Aug. 7.

By SHAUN HEARENAbbeville Meridional

Along with agriculture and oil and gas, the seafood industry is an important economic driver for south Louisiana.

U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, whose 3rd Congressional District covers a large portion of south Louisiana, said he does not want to see pro-ducers in such an important in-dustry for the state working at a disadvantage, something he said has been happening because of the amount of foreign seafood coming into this country that is not held to the same standards.

“Louisiana fishermen deserve a level playing field,” Higgins said.

Higgins introduced House Bill 6212 in an effort to try to level that playing field. The Imported Seafood Safety Standards Act of 2018 would mandate by federal law that imported seafood meet the same standards to which local fisherman are held. The bill is currently in committee.

“It mandates that imported sea-

food,” Higgins said, “has to be harvested, processed, packaged, shipped and delivered to the same standards that American proces-sors have to deal with.

“Believe it or not, there is no such law.”

Higgins’ proposed bill would re-quire 20 percent of all seafood im-ported to the U.S. be tested.

“Right now,” Higgins said, “it’s a leap to say that we are testing one percent. I am told that one pound in 100,000 pounds of sea-food is tested.

“Guys, you don’t know what you are eating.”

The bill would also have 100 percent of the first 15 shipments of a new company tested. Higgins said that will enable foreign pro-ducers from placing a new label on the same product.

“They have been doing this for years,” Higgins said. “They will have Boudreaux’s Crawfish on the package. It’s from Vietnam, China or wherever. They ship it here and it gets tested and is found to have a chemical not allowed for human consumption in the United States. They shut i t down and

Boudreaux’s Cajun Crawfish can’t import anymore crawfish to the United States. The foreign pro-ducer goes to plan B and its now Chautin’s Southern Crawfish. It’s the same stuff in a different pack-age.

“This would keep them from shell gaming us.”

Higgins said he understands that some special interests will stand in the way of his bill becom-ing law.

“I don’t care about that quite frankly,” Higgins said. “I have stood against big money trucking, sugar and airline industry. I will stand against big money if I feel it is the right thing. I am not an-ti-big money. I am just pro-Ameri-can. The seafood bill that I have introduced is going to see some push back.”

Higgins said he will continue to push because the end result will mean better opportunities for the people he represents.

“Where does fair play come in?,” Higgins asked. “I say that if you import seafood into America, you should be held to the same stan-dards as American producers.”

The 2018 crawfish season got off to a slow start due to a cold winter, and pond crawfish were smaller than nor-mal as a result.

However, the Atchafalaya Basin saw healthy size crawfish later in the sea-son.

Mark Shirley, an aquaculture spe-cialist with the LSU AgCenter and Louisiana Sea Grant, said the colder weath-er affected the farm crawfish s i g n i f i c a n t l y more than the Basin crawfish.

Basin fisher-men usually don’t catch much in the winter months due to a combination of low water and other factors, Shirley said.

But Basin crawfish production rose from April to June as is the norm. During those months, Basin crawfish “had some really good size to them,” he said.

Ponds had more small crawfish in the spring because the colder than usu-al winter stunted their growth, Shirley said.

“Once the water warmed up in the spring, we wound up with probably a larger percentage of small to medium crawfish and a lower percentage of large crawfish compared to a normal year,” Shirley said.

Sidney “Peanut” Michel, owner of D&B Seafood in Morgan City, said crawfish pond production in Louisiana was average this year, but the overall size was below average. A few ponds had nice size crawfish, while others struggled to find decent size crawfish, he said.

Michel gets his supply of pond craw-fish from ponds in St. Landry Parish.

In the Atchafalaya Basin, the sea-son’s wild catch varied in different plac-es in south Louisiana. But the catch near Morgan City was “real, real low,” he said.

“The guys that went further toward the Bayou Pigeon area, where the craw-fish hadn’t bit in years, did better than they’ve done in a long time,” Michel said. “So it seemed like the crawfish in places they hadn’t bit in a long time this year was real productive.”

The price of crawfish “stayed up for

the most part” for producers through-out the season, Michel said.

Prices averaged around $1.10 to $1.20 per pound overall for producers this season, Shirley said.

“As usual, the price started very high in December, January, February,” Shirley said.

Producers saw prices of $2 to $3 per pound during those early season

months. As more volume came in, prices dropped to about $1 per pound or slightly below, Shirley said.

M i c h e l h a d “quite a few Basin fishermen” who supplied crawfish to his store this

season. Most of them had an average year in terms of their catch, he said.

In early April, some ponds across south Louisiana had an outbreak of white spot syndrome virus in their crawfish.

That virus is commonly found on some shrimp farms in southeast Asia and central America.

The virus only affects crustaceans and causes white spots on the shells of shrimp but not crawfish. Still, the virus causes a high mortality rate among crawfish.

“We started seeing some major re-duction in catch in some of the farm ponds in that first week or so at least of April,” Shirley said.

About 10 years ago, white spot syn-drome virus first showed up in pond and wild crawfish, Shirley said.

Shirley didn’t receive any calls this year from Basin fishermen reporting dead crawfish, so he doesn’t know if the disease affected Basin production.

The 2018 wild harvest in Louisiana, mostly in the Atchafalaya Basin, saw about 2,200 commercial fishermen har-vest crawfish.

The value of that crop was roughly $11 million to $12 million.

For the pond harvest, about 230,000 acres of land were used for crawfish production with an estimated 115 mil-lion pounds to 120 million pounds of crawfish caught.

Those crawfish had an estimated val-ue of about $172 million.

That pond production was from November 2017 or December 2017 to May or early June, Shirley said.

Basin crawfish had healthy size later in seasonLouisiana's cold winter meant pond-raised crawfish were smaller this spring

There’s no shortage of alligators as the start of the month-long hunting season.

But low demand for ga-tors the past couple of years has caused fewer hunters to harvest the ani-mals.

T h e L o u i s i a n a Department of Wildlife and Fisheries divides the month-long wild alligator hunting season into an east and west season that are staggered one month apart.

The east hunting season started Wednesday, and the west season begins Sept. 5.

St. Mary Parish has ar-eas in both the east and west zones. East of the Atchafalaya River or east of the East Atchafalaya Basin Levee is in the east zone. West of the Atchafalaya River or west of the East Atchafalaya Basin Levee is in the west, according to the Wildlife and Fisheries website.

Alligator hunter, Sidney “Peanut” Michel of Morgan City, said alligators are plentiful in the region, but prices were extremely low last year.

He hunts in the marshes south of Berwick from the Wax Lake Outlet to the mouth of the Atchafalaya River.

Michel doesn’t expect

the 2018 season’s prices to be any better.

The prices are low, mainly due to the lack of demand for alligator hides in the economic downturn. The hides are considered luxury items, Michel said.

Some landowners aren’t opening their land to hunt-ers this year due to the lackluster prices, he said.

Alligators are priced by foot for wholesale with a certain price for small, me-dium and large gators. Those size ranges may be 5- to 6-foot, 6- to 8-foot and over 8 feet, but the exact ranges vary each season, he said.

Last year’s prices per foot were about $5 per foot for small alligators, $8 per foot for medium alligators and $10 per foot for large alligators.

The alligator popula-tion is certainly healthy, though.

“If anything, the popu-lation’s growing fast,” Michel said.

Michel attributes that growth to the Wildlife and Fisheries’ manage-ment of the alligator pop-ulation by limiting how many alligators are har-vested and releasing young alligators from farms into the wild after they hatch.

Michel has close to 200 tags to harvest alligators on private land during the 2018 season as he did last year, too. He sells the whole all igators to Johnny’s Seafood & Bait in Berwick for processing.

Lack of demand puts damper on alligator seasonConsumers shy away fromgator-skin 'luxury' goods

Nothing says Louisiana like crawfishCRAWFISH

By the late FRANK DAVISFrom WWL-TV

For every 43-pound sack of crawfish, use:

1 whole stalk of celery4 heads of garlic (tops removed)12 lemons, sliced or quartered6 large onions10 bay leaves3 to 4 boxes salt½ cup cayenne pepper8 oz. liquid crab boil (or 6 bags dry

crab boil)10 ears of corn (cut in thirds)30 “B” size creamer potatoes3 lbs. smoked sausageThe first thing you do is empty your

crawfish in a No. 3 washtub and cover them completely with cold water.

Makes no difference where your craw-fish come from (farm pond or swamp), the only thing you must do is wash them.

You do not have to purge crawfish in saltwater! That’s an old wives tale. It isn’t necessary and it doesn’t work! All it does is kill the little critters!

But it is necessary to wash them sever-al times.

I recommend you do at least 4 or 5 washings, dumping the old water after each filling of the tub. In short, you should wash until the water comes out clean.

Then drain off the last rinse completely and get your boiler ready.

In a large pot — 90 to 102 quart is sug-gested if you plan to boil the entire sack at once — put in enough water to com-pletely cover the crawfish when they are added, and bring it to a rapid boil.

Then, toss in all the ingredients except the corn, potatoes and sausage and boil them for about 15 minutes — you want the flavors to mix and create a seasoned “stock.”

Next, drop in the corn, potatoes and smoked sausage.

You want to put them in before you put in the crawfish (because the crawfish cook quickly, and if you don’t pre-cook the “lagniappe,” the entire boil won’t be fin-ished at the same time).

Let the lagniappe cook for 8 to 10 min-utes. When all the “extras” are three-quarters done, add crawfish and cover the pot.

The water will stop boiling immediate-ly. Here’s how you figure cooking time:

Just watch the pot, and when the wa-ter comes back to a full boil, time your crawfish for just about “2 minutes,” shut off the fire, and remove it from the burn-er.

Then drop some crushed ice on top of the crawfish, which will make them sink,

and soak the crawfish for about 25 min-utes so that they pick up the seasonings. I do suggest you test the seasoning every 5 minutes or so to keep the crawfish from getting too spicy for your taste.

Church, community, music, loveCouples reveal what makesmarriage last for seven decades

Lara Carter Photography Ferris and Margaret Romaire hold a “Forever in Love” banner during a photo shoot for their 70th wedding anniversary in 2016 with photographer Lara Carter in Pearland, Texas.

By ZACHARY FITZGERALDzfitzgerald@daily-review.com

Making a marriage work can be a difficult task. Three couples in the Tri-City area who have been married at least 70 years shared what’s worked for them.

Ferris Romaire, 92, and Margaret Smith Romaire, 91, of Morgan City, married Nov. 24, 1946. The cou-ple attributes their nearly 72 years of marriage to a variety of things, including staying active at Holy Cross Catholic Church and in the community.

“Good health” and “love of family” have also con-tributed to their long marriage, Margaret Romaire said. The Romaires have one son and three daugh-ters, two living, as well as eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren with one more great-grand-child expected before the end of 2018.

Ferris Romaire described the couple’s bond as a “deep love.”

He retired as vice president of E.J. Fields Machine Shop in 2002. He started his career mak-ing 65 cents an hour. Ferris Romaire’s nephew now owns the business that Ferris Romaire’s brother previously owned. Margaret Romaire also worked at a medical clinic in Morgan City to help put their children through college.

The Romaires have lived in the same home for 67 years.

“Life has been wonderful,” Ferris Romaire said.“We’re so fortunate,” Margaret Romaire said.In 2016, their granddaughter set up a special pho-

to shoot for their 70th wedding anniversary. The couple had no photographs of their actual wedding at the old St. Stephen Catholic Church or the recep-tion at the home of Margaret Romaire’s parents in Berwick. So their granddaughter, Amanda Kleckley, asked photographer Lara Carter to take a series of wedding style photos in Pearland, Texas, 70 years after their wedding.

Carter took photos of the couple in a park and “had all of the props,” Margaret Romaire said.

“It was a fun thing,” she said.News of the Romaires’ photo shoot was picked up

by national news outlets and even media in other countries.

“We were young when we got married,” Margaret Romaire said. “And this is what everyone did. War ended. They (the men) came home. I guess that’s why nobody had cameras or never thought to take a camera when we got married.”

They both graduated from Morgan City High School and met when Ferris Romaire was a senior in high school and Margaret Romaire was a junior. She grew up in Berwick, and he grew up in Morgan City.

“You don’t know what it took to go get her,” Ferris Romaire said. “I was working at a grocery store on Front Street. I’d knock off. I’d walk home. Then I’d bathe. I’d walk the bridge to Berwick, and then we’d come to Morgan City to the movie. Then I had to walk to Berwick, and then I had to walk back to Morgan City. Needless to say I was in good shape.”

He joined the Navy in March 1944 but was al-lowed to graduate from high school in May 1944. He left for the Navy shortly after graduation.

“We courted by mail for two years until he got out of the service,” Margaret Romaire said.

Ferris Romaire was stationed in the United States during World War II and then met up with his broth-er in the Philippines following the war’s conclusion. He was discharged in June 1946, and the couple married four months later.

Paul L. Wilson Sr., 93, and Yvonne Williams Wilson, 91, who live in Siracusa Subdivision near Morgan City, married Oct. 6, 1947. They’ve lived in the same home for 51 years. Yvonne Wilson is a Morgan City native, while Paul Wilson was raised in Patterson. The Wilsons have two daughters and six sons, five living, along with 20 grandchildren, 66 great- grand-children and 11 great-great grandchildren.

Yvonne Wilson shared the key to their almost 71-year marriage.

“Understanding is the best thing in the world. That’s my motto,” Yvonne Wilson said. “The sun don’t shine every day, might get a drizzle of rain. That’s the way life is.”

As part of their 70th wedding anniversary celebra-tion, they received a proclamation and key to the city of Morgan City in 2017.

They belong to Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church in Morgan City, a church that Yvonne Wilson has at-tended her entire life. The Rev. C.F. Smith is the longtime pastor there. Wilsons met in 1946 during Yvonne Wilson’s senior year of high school at her prom.

Prior to their meeting, Paul Wilson served in the Navy after being drafted during World War II. He spent time stationed in Europe during the war as Steward Mate 1st Class on the USS 357. He was part of the oper-ation commonly known as D-Day, when Allied forces in-vaded Normandy, France, at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. He also was involved in the occupation of Licada, Sicily, on July 10, 1943, and Salerno, Italy, landings Sept. 9, 1943, according to information provided by the Wilsons’ daughter, Sheena Coleman.

The Wilsons share a love of music. Paul Wilson plays the keyboard, and Yvonne Wilson plays the pi-ano. He plays music by ear, while she reads sheet music.

Their favorite hymn, “Through It All,” sums up their bond of over seven decades.

Paul Wilson worked as a crane operator for many years in Morgan City.

Yvonne Wilson worked as a substitute teacher and later completed correspondence training at a nurs-ing school in Chicago. She has served as the President of the Colored American Legion Women’s Division in Morgan City and president within the Pokeno Club, a social club that provided student scholarships, according to Coleman’s information.

Joe Governale, 94, and Alda Pinho Governale, 89, of Patterson, married July 25, 1948. Joe Governale worked as a barber in Patterson for almost 70 years, too. He started barbering about a month before the couple got married. Alda Governale worked as a beautician and did carpentry work in their home.

They exchanged photos when they started dating.“It was a lot different in those days,” Alda

Governale said. Alda Governale remembers exactly how the couple

first met.“My sister and I were walking down the main

street going to the post office. And this one here had a wolf whistle on his car, and he wolf whistled us,” she said.

Joe Governale ha recently returned to civilian life from serving in the U.S. Army during World War II in the south Pacific when they met.

Alda Governale’s family came to Patterson with the shrimp industry.

“The whole river was full of shrimpers,” she re-calls.

Her father immigrated to the United States as a child from Portugal.

Alda Governale offered a reason for the success of the couple’s marriage.

“We’ve never been separated for one thing, been home all the time, not like people who work out in the Gulf,” she said. “That makes a difference when you’re together all the time.”

They’ve helped each other get through tough times. In 1996, their home was almost destroyed by a fire. They had to do a lot of work to get to come back from the fire, she said.

The Governales have two sons, two granddaugh-ters, one grandson, two great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

“I was a stay-at-home mama with my kids, and I don’t regret that,” Alda Governale said.

@daily-review.comFRANKLIN — Go to a

city or town council meeting in St. Mary Parish, and you’re cer-tain to see a clerk tak-i n g m i n u t e s . A n American flag. A table behind which the coun-cil sits.

And in the audience, you ’ l l probably see Beverly Domengeaux.

Domengeaux doesn’t miss many meetings, even the ones at which she isn’t asking for mon-ey for the St. Mary Council on Aging. She’s the council’s executive director.

Political candidates have been showing up a t B e r w i c k To w n Council meetings to in-troduce themselves. On Aug. 14, Mayor Louis R a t c l i f f s p i e d Domengeaux in the au-dience and asked if she had a report to make.

"But I’m not running for anything,” she said.

A week before, at the Patterson City Council, Domengeaux arrived with a gift-wrapped package. She told the council members that after asking them for help in rounding up about a dozen window fans for senior citizens, she received 50.

“Next time I’ll ask for 50,” she said.

It’s all part of a job Domengeaux accepted not long after coming to St. Mary Parish. She sought the job at the suggestion of the hus-band whom she was car-ing for in the final stag-

es of cancer. Thousands of St. Mary people are in her domain, and she seems to take the task at a full run.

Domengeaux is 83.“The program is a

much-needed program for this community,” she said in an interview. “We call them our he-

roes. The seniors are our heroes because they made us what we are to-day — the community, the parish, the state. And most of them have never been anywhere but here.”

D o m e n g e a u x w a s raised on a ranch near Paris, Texas, northeast

of Dallas. She grew up with a sense of commu-nity that she’s afraid is lacking for many people today.

“I was raised in Tornado Alley,” she said. “Our ranch was on the Red River. Someone would lose a barn on a Friday night and the next day men would come with their ham-mers and ladies with their baskets, and the barn would be up that afternoon.”

Domengeaux went on to study nursing at the University of Texas. There she met Noe Domengeaux, the son of a Lafayette family prom-inent in legal circles and in politics. He got a de-gree in horology, study-ing watchmaking and repair.

James Domengeaux, a congressman in the 1940s, founded the C o u n c i l f o r t h e

Development of French in Louisiana, which is devoted to preserving Louisiana’s French heri-tag. Beverly Domen-geaux remembered that some of her husband’s fami ly spoke on ly French, and some of her nieces and nephews didn’t speak English un-til they started school.

Some of her husband’s relatives were excited to learn that Noe was mar-rying a girl from Paris. The truth was a bit less exotic, but Domengeaux said she learned enough French to get by if the conversation was slow enough.

Noe went into the Navy after college. The Domengeauxs had four children and, as a ser-vice family, moved around a lot. After the Navy, Noe Domengeaux went to work for Seiko, hiring and training peo-ple to repair watches made by the Japanese company.

The Domengeauxs wound up in Georgia, w h e r e h e b e c a m e part-owner of a watch

repair shop. Beverly D o m e n g e a u x h a d worked as a nurse throughout their mar-riage, and in Conyers, Georgia, she ran a local hospital.

By the early 2000s, the Domengeaux were heading to Louisiana and moved to Franklin. Noe was already suffer-ing from the cancer that would take his life.

“We fought it for 13 years, but it finally took i t s t o l l , ” B e v e r l y Domengeaux said. “He lost a leg, his hearing and his eyesight.”

But before he died, N o e D o m e n g e a u x l e a r n e d t h a t t h e Council on Aging was looking for a director.

“He said, ‘I think this will fit right in with what you want to do,’” Beverly Domengeaux said. “Now I’ve got the biggest family in the state o f Louis iana. They’re all my people.”

She became director i n 2 0 0 3 . N o e Domengeaux died in 2006.

Fighting loneliness, depression

The Daily Review/Bill Decker

Beverly Domengeaux, standing, directs the St. Mary Parish Council on Aging, which was created to offer seniors nutrition, transporta-tion, socialization and education. The senior citizens here enjoy one of the lunches that centers in Morgan City, Patterson and Franklin offer each weekday. Homebound seniors have meals delivered to their homes.

Hancock Whitney Bank, Member FDIC.

“Not only can we walk into the bank and know everyone’s name, they all know my name. Like everything else, Hancock Whitney is also community.”Kait S.

Your Dream.Our Mission.

The Council on Aging is the method developed to fulfill the require-ments of the Older Americans Act.

“Our mission ... is to furnish a program for those over 60 that meets their needs, in-c l u d i n g n u t r i t i o n , transportation, social-ization and education,” Domengeaux said

Seniors can come to the centers in Franklin, Patterson and Morgan City on weekdays for a nutritious lunch and companionship.

The centers have speakers, games, arts and crafts, and exercise programs, “even if it’s just walking around the room,” Domengeaux said.

The Patterson center recently received a new crafts project -- wooden figures of dinosaurs, ants and more to be as-sembled and painted.

“It’s so neat to watch them,” Domengeaux said. “One starts, the other starts, and now we have competition. ‘Mine’s straighter than yours.’ ‘Mine’s prettier than yours’ and every-thing.”

Playing dominoes is another big attraction.

“It gets kind of hectic every once in a while,” D o m e n g e a u x s a i d . “They’re very good dom-inoes players. They just socialize. They become like a family.”

Domengeaux recalled one man who turned out to be a dancer when the centers had access to live music. His children were surprised, saying they never knew he danced.

Another very proper lady got involved in cooking. Her prize-win-ning entry was a cake called Sex on the Beach, to her son’s consterna-tion.

“He said, ‘Mama, can’t you name it something else?” Domengeaux said.

A n o t h e r r e s i d e n t came in first thing every day and checked the newspaper.

“I want to see if my obituary’s in there,” he told Domengeaux.

The activities help fight loneliness, one of the big challenges fac-ing those who work with senior citizens.

“We’ve noticed in our senior centers that when they leave on Fridays, they’re pumped up. ‘Bye! Have a great weekend!’ And when

they come back in on Monday, we have to pump them back up.”

Most of the senior served by the council don’t come to the cen-ters. They’re home-bound — not necessarily bedridden, but unable to drive and without some-one to give them a lift to the doctor or the bank.

The council delivers lunches. There’s also a telephone committee to check in with home-bound seniors periodi-cally, and a visiting committee that checks in sometimes.

“ T h e y ’ r e l o n e l y, ”

D o m e n g e a u x s a i d . “They’re depressed. And they have a lot of memo-ries and a lot of good stories to tell if people would just listen. But the younger generation just isn’t interested, un-fortunately.”

Forty-seven percent of St. Mary’s seniors live a lone , Domengeaux said. And 40 percent live in poverty.

She likes the program of Intergenerational Mixers in Berwick that came out of the Rotary Club of Morgan City’s New Generation forum, at which students give

their ideas for improv-ing the community.

Domengeaux hopes to get something like that started for Franklin, and to add seniors and students with special needs to the mix.

“It’s just amazing so see (the students) sit there and grab it up,” Domengeaux said. “A fa-ther stopped me at Rouses and he said, ‘Man, I had to bone up on my h is tory. I t brought back memories that I had forgotten.’”

More challenges: The original generation of seniors targeted by the

centers is now in its 90s. Domengeaux said the centers are trying to come up with programs that will appeal both to them and the baby boomers who started turning 65 seven years ago. They tend to favor more active pursuits.

“Yeah, there’s a bridge between us, but we’re really all the same peo-ple,” Domengeaux said. “What I find is that the majority of seniors real-ly care about their com-munity. They just can’t do like they used to.”

@daily-review.comImagine growing up

without Dr. Seuss , “Black Beauty,” “Where the Wild Things Are,” Encyclopedia Brown, “Little Women,” Nancy Drew or whatever books took the young you to n e w a n d e x c i t i n g worlds.

Horror of horror : Imagine a world with-out Harry Potter.

At age 72, Herman Hartman goes to ele-mentary school to help keep those worlds alive for young people.

The former Morgan City High and Southern University basketball coach is one of the vol-unteers who serve as reading mentors and l i s t e n e r s a t M . E . Norman and Julia B. Maitland elementary schools in Morgan City.

“It ’s been a chal-lenge,” Hartman said in an interview. “But it has also been a joy in seeing the progress made by most of the students. We think we have really reached the majority of the kids, and we have seen growth in participation from year to year.”

Hartman’s interest in education began long before he went to col-lege to become a social studies and driver’s ed-ucation teacher.

Now he and wife Mary live on Hemlock Stret near Morgan City High. But as the oldest of eight children, he was raised on Lawrence Street in Morgan City’s Klingsville neighbor-hood. His father was a policeman and school bus driver.

Schools were still seg-regated, and Hartman remembers riding his

d a d ’ s b u s p a s t whites-only schools to g e t t o S u m p t e r Williams, the school for African Americans from grades one through 12.

“I didn’t want to sit on that bus," Hartman said, "And have a teach-er come out and say, ‘Your son did this in my class today.’ Or ‘Your son was not as well-be-haved or well-disci-

plined as he should have been.’ My dad had a different way of in-stilling discipline in us.

“First of all, he drove the school bus so we couldn’t get away with anything. Second, he was a police officer and,” Hartman said with a laugh, “he had a license to kill. Third, he was 6-1 and 265 pounds.

Different kind of coaching for HartmanHis team members now score by improving their reading skills

He spoke softly but you understood what he ex-pected."

W h e n H a r t m a n turned 17, he and his father had a conversa-tion.

“He told me, “Boy’ — and he could call me anything at that point, because I weighed 145 pounds — ‘you can go to work or you can go to college.’

“He said, ‘Boy, you’re leaving here, and you’re the oldest. You’re going to be like a pioneer. It’s like being in the forest, making a path. If [the siblings] can’t follow a path, they won’t be suc-cessful.’ Can you imag-ine hearing that when you’re 17 years old?

“I wasn’t a dummy. I was going to college.”

Hartman wasn’t the only one. All seven brothers and sisters went to college, and for years the Hartmans had three children in col-lege at the same time.

And it wasn’t just the Hartmans.

“On Lawrence Street, there were 21 college degrees,” Hartman said.

“There were five mas-ter’s degrees. There was one doctor ’s degree — off that one street. I don’t know if there’s an-other street in this world that can say have the same numbers, or better numbers.”

He came home to Morgan City to teach, and eventually to coach b o y s b a s k e t b a l l . Unusually for a coach, he didn’t play high school sports.

But he’d played in what he called semi-pro c o m p e t i t i o n a f t e r school, playing local teams and maybe trav-eling to New Orleans or Texas.

He led Morgan City to six district champi-onships before taking on a new and different challenge — coaching the women’s basketball t e a m a t S o u t h e r n University, his alma mater. He held that job 1992-2000.

“He saw girls, but he was running us like that high school basket-ball team,” former play-er Gwen Wilson Gene told Daily Review re-porter Shea Drake in 2015.

“He would say, ‘Mind over matter. I’m going to get it out of you one way or another.’”

“Coach Hartman used to run the hell out of u s , ” s a i d Yo l a n d a Brown, a former player of Hartman.

Southern won the Southwestern Athletic Conference champion-ship in the 1992-93 sea-son and beat an LSU team coached by Tiger legend Sue Gunter.

Hartman was induct-ed into the Southern Hall of Fame in 2015.

He has been involved in a variety of activi-ties, including the Tri-City Helping Hearts Foundation, an organi-zation that raises mon-ey to help needy fami-

lies pay for the funerals of loved ones.

Hartman’s involve-ment in the elementary school reading program grew out of his mem-bership in another or-ganization.

“It came from the idea that we were part of an organization, 100 Black Men of America, and we needed to do something for our mis-sion statement, which said we needed to do something about men-toring,” Hartman said.

That was 15 years ago . He and Ear l Johnson, another men-tor and reading listen-er, are volunteers at Norman and, more re-cently, at Maitland. T h e p r o g r a m a t Maitland started last year.

Cathy Landry, who lives in Napoleonville, volunteers on her way to work at the at the 16th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

“To me, that is dedica-tion,” Hartman said.

About 25 kids at Norman and 20 at Maitland come in to read to the volunteers.

The schools were cho-sen because they serve areas where many chil-dren are considered to be at risk.

That doesn’t necessar-ily mean high-crime ar-eas, although it can. It can mean a low-income area, where the children have less access to en-richment from books or

travel than their more affluent classmates do. It can mean potential problems related to health or nutrition.

“I think the structure of our program allows for growth,” Hartman said.

“The reason I say that is each month at M.E. Norman, we have two Readers of the Month. One of the things that each student will get will be a book, their own book.

"So if they didn’t have a book before, life has changed, because there is a book at home and they can say, ‘This is my book.’"

Readers of the Month appear in photos in The Daily Review.

“Along with that, we have some generous peo-

ple in this community — Greg Hamer with Taco Bell would be one, Bernadine Morgan and the owner of McDonald’s would be another — a group of people that have helped.”

Among the prizes are coupons for freebies at those restaurants.

“If my best friend is in the newspaper and has shown me a book that he or she has gotten, I want one, too. To be able to eat at McDonald’s or Taco Bell free, I want to do that also.

“To be called to the of-fice in the morning and have everyone hear your name that you’ve been called Reader of the Month — self-esteem tends to rise.”

A Master of Business Administration degree can be useful for people in a variety of careers, even for someone who has many years of expe-rience at a specific job.

Lisa Parsiola and Tripp Hicks know the value of such a degree and graduated from N i c h o l l s S t a t e University 18-month Executive MBA pro-gram.

Parsiola, 49, graduat-ed from Nicholls State University’s Executive MBA program in 2012. She’s a licensed interior des igner for Tiger Island Home Center in Morgan City and also owns her own firm, The Brighton Group, in Berwick. She’s worked as an interior designer for 28 years.

“Before the MBA pro-gram, I think I took things very detailed, and now I can step back away from my business and look at it from a bigger picture and grow the business,” Parsiola said.

Gett ing her MBA helped her learn how to seek out more business and plan for the direc-tion of her business growth.

“I feel more fulfilled because I’m doing work that I enjoy more,” Parsiola said.

She decided to back to school at 42 years old to get her MBA while her oldest daughter was attending college.

“I told my husband that I always wanted a m a s t e r ’ s d e g r e e , ” Parsiola said.

Parsiola had delayed going back to school

while she raised her children and built her design firm. She even-tually chose Nicholls’ MBA program because it was accredited and nearby.

“It also worked well with my being able to work full time and pur-sue my master’s on the weekends and in the evenings,” she said.

She thought she would be the oldest per-son in her class, but a 55-year-old engineer was also in the program at the same time.

Hicks, 40, is a 2014 graduate of the pro-gram and is director of information technology at Conrad Industries Inc. in Morgan City where he’s worked for over 12 years.

Hicks got his bache-lor ’s degree computer in format ion system from Nicholls in 2002. Soon after graduating he began as a help desk technician for Seacor Ho ld ings Inc . and worked at their Morgan City off ice for four years and traveled across the country to assist other offices with problems or needs.

He later took a job at C o n r a d I n d u s t r i e s where he was hired as an IT manager in charge of all the com-puter systems, net-working, IT budget and other responsibilities for the company. He helped facilitate major projects such as up-grades to the Oracle ERP system, servers and network upgrades.

“I knew that if I wanted to further my career and gain a better understanding of busi-ness, I had to go back to school,” Hicks said in an email.

Not long after attain-ing his MBA, he was presented the opportu-nity to become director of information technolo-gy for Conrad. He attri-butes some of that op-portunity to completing his MBA degree.

Both Parsiola and Hicks gained valuable knowledge from the program.

Pars i o la l earned , through her classes, to negotiate more with her suppliers, which has helped her clients to get better pricing, too, she

said. About 70 percent of her business is com-mercial, and 30 percent is residential.

Some people may think having an MBA wouldn’t help them in their industry. But, as an interior designer who works for commercial clients, Parsiola can now understand busi-ness concepts better, she said.

Her advice to anyone thinking about going back to school to get an MBA is to “make the ef-fort to go back,” she said.

“The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know,” she said.

Hicks said the pro-gram was a “great expe-rience,” and he’s fortu-nate to have been able to go back to school and get a degree in just 18 months.

“The knowledge I gained from this pro-gram was priceless. You really get a deeper un-derstanding of the fi-nancial world and how businesses truly oper-ate” Hicks said.

Hicks and his fellow students studied corpo-rations “by analyzing their product mix, eval-uating their financials a n d r e c o m m e n d i n g things they could do to save money and develop new strategies for new business,” he said.

“It opened my eyes to so much more than I ev-er expected,” Hicks said.

Although the program was challenging, he said he’d go through it “all over again.” Hicks met “some really great peo-

ple,” and he’s since rec-ommended the program to others who later graduated from the pro-gram as well, he said.

The most unexpected thing he learned in the program was how to an-alyze companies for in-vesting his money prop-erly. His final class was an elective that basical-ly taught students how to trade stocks and in-vest their money wisely.

“It really helped me to understand the impor-tance of investing for my future and building wealth for retirement. It was the most interest-ing subject for me and something I actually re-ally enjoy doing now,” Hicks said.

Classes in Nicholls’s Executive MBA program meet every Saturday with the exception of ho l idays , sa id Ray Peters, director of the M B A p r o g r a m s a t Nicholls. Courses within the program are five to seven weeks. Everyone in the cohort, or group, moves at the same pace.

The Executive MBA program is usually fo-cused on individuals who have already start-ed their careers and need “a broader scope of business knowledge,” Peters said.

Generally, students in the “EMBA program are individuals who have reached the point in

their career where they have where they have to expand beyond what their original discipline is,” Peters said.

“A great example of that is an engineer. They went to school, went to college to be-come an engineer. And as they’re being promot-ed to higher level posi-tions, they have to have a grasp of business knowledge beyond sim-ply the engineering as-pect of it,” Peters said.

A significant number of St. Mary Parish resi-dents have gone through the program. Part of the reason those residents have chosen Nicholls’ program is the school’s proximity to the area, Peters said.

The program also has “outstanding faculty” and is “probably one of the most cost competi-tive programs in the state,” he said.

Nicholls recently an-nounced that its 10th Executive Master of Business Administration cohort will start courses in early 2019. Classes will be conducted at the Baker Family Executive Classroom in the Duhe’ Building in Houma.

For more information about the Nicholls State University EMBA pro-gram, candidates can call 985-448-4241 or email connie.daigle@nicholls.edu.

Many St. Mary people turn to Nicholls State's MBA program

By ZACHARY FITZGERALD

zfitzgerald@daily-review.com

Virginia Sutton served two decades as one of the few and proud. Twenty-one years after her service, she recently checked off a first in St. Mary Parish.

Sutton, 68, of Four Corners, became comman-dant of the Marine Corps League-St. Mary Detach-ment in April and is the first woman in the detach-ment to serve in that ca-pacity. This year is also the 100th anniversary of the first woman joining the Marine Corps.

Sutton was in the U.S. Marine Corps 1977-97.

“Representing the Marine Corps League, it’s an honor even if I wasn’t the commandant,” Sutton said.

She has “worked with a group of awesome Marines” in St. Mary Parish.

The detachment does a lot of different community outreach projects, includ-ing a police appreciation banquet and a Toys for Tots drive to provide Christmas gifts for less for-tunate children.

The detachment also awards four to five annual scholarships to students in the parish.

The St. Mary detach-ment has about 35 mem-bers. Sutton is one of just two women in the detach-ment.

Sutton, who has been a member for three years, hopes more Marine veter-ans will join the organiza-tion.

“We are looking for more Marines. We know we have more than 35 Marines in St. Mary Parish,” Sutton said.

To join the Marine Corps League, a Marine veteran

has to have an honorable discharge and have a cur-rent member vouch for him or her, Sutton said.

“That’s all it takes. We just want some good Marines,” she said.

They hold meetings the second Tuesday of each month at American Legion Post 242 near Patterson with a social beginning at 6 p.m. and meeting at 7 p.m.

Sutton is also director of West St. Mary Civic Center in Four Corners.

She grew up on Weeks Island in Iberia Parish. At a young age, Sutton first thought she wanted to pursue a career as a mor-tician.

“My mom told me if I did, I couldn’t come home no more. So I left that alone,” Sutton said with a laugh.

After graduating high school, Sutton moved to Houston and worked as a pharmacy technician for 10 years.

Then, at the challenge of her sister-in-law and best friend, Alexis Basha, who was already in the Marine Corps, Sutton de-cided to become a Marine.

“She dared me,” Sutton said. “She was telling me about it. She said, ‘I don’t think you can do it.’ I said, ‘You know you can’t do that to me.’”

So Sutton accepted the challenge, met the re-quirements and entered the Marine Corps in 1977.

She received the Molly Marine Award when she graduated boot camp.

The Molly Marine Award consists of a chal-lenge coin and certificate and is presented by The W o m e n M a r i n e s Association to one female graduate at the end of re-cruit training, the associa-tion’s website says.

Shortly after Sutton joined, Basha got out of the Marines after serving several years.

But Sutton remained in the Marine Corps for two decades.

“I met some of the nic-est people,” she said. “You become part of a family. It starts off as a family of strangers, real strangers.”

The Marines she served with helped one another become stronger.

“They give tough love, and I mean tough love. They’ll kick you down and pick you up, pat you on the back and give you a hug. That way, you learn,” she said.

Sutton served in The G u l f Wa r d u r i n g Operation Desert Shield Desert Storm arriving in Saudi Arabia in 1991. She was stationed at an air base and offloaded equip-ment from airplanes.

“It was a very interest-ing tour. If you left base, you had to be armed at all times,” she said.

She remembers Saudi Arabia being hot but much more bearable than the south Louisiana heat.

“It was hot, but it wasn’t hot. We didn’t have the humidity. The tempera-ture ran at about 121 de-grees,” Sutton said.

Sutton began her Marine Corps career as an engineer equipment me-chanic after going to school at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. She then went to El Toro , California, and stayed there for a couple of years before attending drill in-structor school.

A few years later, she returned to El Toro and worked at the non-com-missioned officer academy where she served under Alford McMichael, who became the Marine Corps’

first black sergeant major. Sutton had great respect for McMichael serving un-der his command.

She then received or-ders to serve in Okinawa, Japan, in the engineer field. She also went to journeyman school and the chief course.

Sutton went back to Okinawa and was in-formed that she would be going to the staffing com-missioned officer academy as a drill instructor be-cause officials wanted a female instructor there, she said.

Finally, Sutton again returned to El Toro, California, where she stayed for two years as en-gineer equipment chief until her retirement from the Marine Corps in 1997. Sutton retired with the rank of gunnery sergeant E7.

Upon retirement, she stayed in Houston for about two months and t h e n r e t u r n e d t o Louisiana because Sutton had promised her mother to come back and take care of her.

“That I did until she passed,” Sutton said.

After 9/11 occurred and the United States began again sending troops to the Middle East, Sutton and some of her fellow vet-erans knew they would never be called back to ser-vice but longed to serve again.

“We were ready to go back and do what we had to do,” Sutton said. “If they’d have did a recall, we sure wanted our names to be in that recall to go back because we were los-ing so much.”

About 40 of the women served in the Marine Corps with get together each year for a reunion.

“It’s nice, and we just

talk about old times,” Sutton said.

Being the military is in-valuable to those who serve.

“It’s a once in a lifetime experience you have being in the military,” Sutton said.

Reinstituting the draft and requiring men to serve in the military for

four years after graduat-ing high school would “keep a lot of our young men out of trouble,” she said.

“I think it would change a lot of what’s going on in the world with our young men, and I’m not talking one race. I’m talking all our young men,” Sutton said.

Berwick nativeis pursuing

climate changearound

the world Nann Fangue studies phenomenon's

effect on different fish species

By ZACHARY FITZGERALD

zfitzgerald@daily-re-view.com

Climate change is al-ready affecting some of the world’s most vulnera-ble organisms, an issue Nann Fangue spends lots of time studying.

Fangue, 41, who was raised in Berwick, is chair of the Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology at the Univers i ty o f California-Davis. She’s a 1995 graduate of Berwick High School. Her par-ents, Dale and Toni Fangue, still live in Berwick.

She is also a professor of physiological ecology and describes herself as a “fish ecological physiol-ogist.”

Her studies “bridge the gap between kind of pure physiological science and ecology.” Ecologists “try to understand patterns of distribution and abun-dance of wild species,” she said.

Fangue’s work uses physiological and behav-ioral tools to make pre-dictions about how fish may respond to different conditions, and then takes that information to design “essentially river systems that are condu-cive to both water with-drawal and fish surviv-al,” she said.

Fangue has studied fish in vastly different climates from California t o A n t a r c t i c a t o Indonesia.

“We bridge the span from very cold Antarctica kind of places to kind of Mediterranean systems in California,” she said.

“Then, when we want to understand what’s go-ing to happen in very warm, tropical systems, a really nice study sys-tem that we work is fish-es on coral reefs in Indonesia,” Fangue said.

Most of the research she does now involves studying species of en-dangered fishes. Much of that work is based in California’s central val-ley where water resourc-es are extremely valu-able to both humans and wildlife.

Her work looks at the effect climate change has on certain fish species.

“Climate change is go-ing to have impacts ev-erywhere. We just don’t necessarily always know how severe they might be,” Fangue said.

The reason scientists study climate change is to try to quantify the amount of change that can be expected over time.

“The idea is if you can understand the magni-tude of change you can expect, perhaps you can find creative solutions. That’s a lot of the context for the studies we do with these fish and these rivers,” Fangue said.

“On the order of my lifetime, we’ve had tre-mendous changes. That’s not the timescale that evolution works at. So to expect that these ani-mals are going to adjust and everything is going

to be fine, is very, very unlikely,” she said.

The change in tem-perature is driven by in-creased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the release of greenhouse gases, which insulate the earth and create a warm-ing effect. Additionally, carbon dioxide dissolves directly into the ocean, “acts like a weak acid” and acidifies the ocean, she said.

In turn, organisms in the ocean are then affect-ed by the acidification. Atmospheric carbon diox-ide hadn’t been higher than 300 parts per mil-lion in a long time until recently. Carbon dioxide levels today are over 400 parts per million.

“It’s very different than anything organisms have seen over millen-nia,’ Fangue said.

Researchers must get their findings into the hands of the regulators, decision-makers and managers to facilitate progress in combating climate change, she said.

The Golden State of California where Fangue does much of her re-search is unique because of its vast population and great demand on water resources. So it’s a good place to learn how to pro-tect endangered species and “then apply those techniques and lessons learned to areas beyond California,” she said.

C a l i f o r n i a g o e s through long periods without rainfall.

“It’ll rain maybe a lit-tle bit up until April, and then it doesn’t rain again until October,” she said. “It’s not like Louisiana at all.”

California is coming off of a “five-year, very, very severe drought,” she said. Consequently, res-ervoirs are extremely low, which puts high de-mand on groundwater.

To study a much colder climate, Fangue made two trips to Antarctica, first in 2006 as a doctoral student, and then again at the end of 2014 to re-search the effects climate change have on fish that live there in the most stable environment on earth.

In Antarctica, “a very small change in water temperature would have dramatic effects because those animals are right at the freezing point,” she said.

“They live in the pres-ence of ice, and it doesn’t take much warming to go from frozen to not. Antarctica is one area where temperature (change) is probably go-ing to have a major and very obvious effect,” Fangue said.

Fangue’s career in ma-rine biology started after she developed an obses-sion with sharks at a young age and studied them through completion of her master’s degree. She has continued to do projects involving sharks “off and on” since that time.

She’s involved in an ongoing study system in

Indonesia that has taken her back to her early in-terest. For a while, she had a graduate student visiting Indonesia every summer. In Indonesia, Fangue has done “some inshore stingray studies and a little bit of shark work,” she said.

She now primarily studies coastal fish spe-cies, such as rockfish,

Chinook salmon, delta smelt and green stur-geon, in California.

Some groups within Chinook salmon are criti-cally endangered. Delta smelt are close to extinc-tion.

“Many of the fishes that people care about that are commercially important and very sort of charismatic and inter-esting fish are not doing

great,” she said.Through her work,

Fangue learned that well over half of the water u s e d i n s o u t h e r n California comes from northern California.

“It really is a place where the conflict be-tween human municipal and agricultural water demands really impact fishes, particularly in-land fishes,” Fangue said of California.

“When water resources

are limited people have to really struggle to meet the needs for people, and that doesn’t put fish in a very good place,” Fangue said. “You can make links to climate change in a whole variety of ways, and that’s one of them that’s pretty dramatic here in California.”

In California, most m a j o r r i v e r s a r e dammed, often in multi-ple places, meaning that rivers are controlled in

terms of the amount of water released.

“So people can create any kind of water regime that they want. And sometimes that’s good for fish, and sometimes it’s not,” Fangue said.

Fangue does a lot of work in the San Francisco Estuary and the Pacific Ocean. Many of the fish she studies fol-low the salmon life cycle where adult fish “return to their home rivers” and

swim upstream in fresh waters to spawn.

“Then the juveniles will rear up there to a certain point in their life history. And then they have to make that long migration out through the river and into the bay and out into the ocean,” she said.

“It was a great life his-tory strategy for those fish until people started putting dams every-where,” Fangue said.

Visitors to St. Mary Parish can once again visit the unique offerings at the Cajun Coast Visitors & Convention Bureau Welcome and Interpretative Center in Morgan City following ap-proximately six months of closure due to levee upgrades and parking lot reno-vations.

Headed by Executive Director Carrie Stansbury, the Cajun Coast Visitors & Convention Bureau has two facilities for tourists and locals to visit — the Morgan City center and the Franklin Visitor Center & Rest Area at 15307 U.S. 90 West in Franklin.

The Welcome and Interpretative Center houses themed pods and a di-orama with a cypress swamp theme complete with flora and fauna. The cen-ter also sits above a swamp area. Take a stroll down the covered walkway and around the building to view tupelo and cypress trees, hear cicada, spy an American bald eagle or catch a glimpse of an American alligator. The pods offer historic, nature, recreation and cultur-al information.

“In 2017, we had about 2,500 visitors with the Franklin and Morgan City of-fices,” Stansbury said. “But the (Interpretative) center was closed six months.”

Those numbers were lower than nor-mal due to the extended closure of the Morgan City facility.

“What we have found is that the Morgan City office sees significantly more international visitors than the Franklin office so our numbers were down substantially (at the Morgan City center) for international visitors,” she said. “That is not to say that they didn’t stop at some of our attractions.”

Morgan City gets a lot of internation-al travelers as they travel between New Orleans and Lafayette or Houston, Stansbury noted.

Now that the Welcome and Interpretative Center is reopen, visi-tors will once again be able to have a one-on-one opportunity with one of the Cajun Coast travel guides who can pro-vide information on St. Mary Parish sites.

“They want to see alligators, they want to go on a swamp tour and they want to meet Cajun people,” Stansbury said of the visitors to the Cajun Coast.

For example, Stansbury told a story of how a local judge found a group French birders having a picnic on his dock at his Stephensville camp. When

he realized that they weren’t intention-ally trespassing, he took them on his boat to visit the bayou.

“That is what visitors want. That is hard to plan,” she said. “Today the struggle is how do you do that?

“We need those day trips where they can go crawfishing, go see a shrimp boat. Those are some the challenges we need to try to work on. If we are able to do that, I think we can continue to have that connection to our culture. In to-day’s fast society, it is going to be more and more important for us to preserve and protect our culture.”

With that in mind, the bureau is working to bring those experiences to visitors.

“Louisianans in general have always made connections with people … trav-elers today want those experiences.”

Many travelers also welcome a culi-nary experience when visiting areas of interest.

“People complain that we don’t have a variety of restaurants,” Stansbury said. “The only way you can do that is to support the restaurants that you have that generates that demand.

“It is hard to explain to someone that a culinary experience is not necessarily a white table, fancy experience. It can be simply something as good as the best bread pudding in St. Mary Parish”

To that end, she admits it is neces-sary to reprogram people’s way of thinking.

“When someone asks you, ‘What’s good food?’ that you don’t think white table clothes because it doesn’t have to be fancy to be good food,” she said.

For now, visitors have plenty of sites to visit throughout the parish.

Swamp tours are available near Patterson. Capt. Caviar, John Burke, has two boats, a small boat and a pon-toon boat. Having a choice of boat size allows Burke to take small groups on tours instead of having to wait on enough customers to fill the pontoon boat.

Places to visit include the International Petroleum Museum & Exposition along with its newest addi-tion — the Diving & ROV Historical Preservation Museum in Morgan City, the Everett S. Berry Memorial Lighthouse Park in Berwick, the Louisiana State Museum (featuring the area’s historic aviation and cypress in-dustries) in Patterson and much more.

“Getting on top of the seawall is al-ways interesting,” Stansbury said of

Taking advantage of beautiful Lake Palourde in Morgan City is made easy, thanks to Victor Guarisco Lake End Park and the Lake End Parkway.

Lake End Park renovations are an ongoing process, but work there is only a small piece of a much bigger picture that is taking shape on and around the lake.

The park, named in honor of a man and the family that helped make the fa-cility a reality, has been undergoing a major change in conjunction with relat-ed projects associated with the much larger Atchafalaya Basin Program.

The Atchafalaya Basin Program is fo-cused on conserving, restoring and en-hancing the natural habitat of the

Atchafalaya Basin, and giving all peo-ple the opportunity to enjoy the Atchafalaya experience.

Another component of that plan, Lake End Parkway, is maturing along the northern shoreline of Lake Palourde on newfound land created by a phase of work which served as a shoreline stabilization project.

Morgan City Recreation and Culture Director Dwayne Barbier said he is very pleased with the addition of the six cabins that are available for rent. The six cabins are fully furnished in-cluding pots, pans and all linens. In ad-dition, there have been docks built on the lake to accommodate all six cabins.

State funds were previously allocated

for engineering and construction of “Lake Houses” at Lake End Parkway that were completed in 2013 and 2015.

The six cabins have been staying busy during the summer and holidays.

State Sen. Bret Allain, R-Franklin, and state Rep. Sam Jones, D-Franklin, were a big help in getting $1 million in state money allocated for the newest set of cabins, Barbier said.

A total of 18 cabins are planned at the parkway in the Atchafalaya Basin Master Plan.

The RV campground at Lake End Park also sees a lot of use from visitors.

“That’s a diamond in the rough for this city,” Barbier said. He also stated that this summer the city spent ap-

proximately $190,000 repairing roads in Lake End Park and asphalting the road to the Lake Houses on the Parkway. The sand volleyball court is still in the design phase on the Parkway side of the RV Park.

The Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve and Day are some of the big holidays during which the Lake End Park and Parkway have lots of visitors.

Lake End Park features tent and RV camping sites, a playground and pavil-ions. Thanks to the Young Foundation and The American Heart Association, the walking trail has been recently re-surfaced for Lake End Park area resi-dents and visitors alike to enjoy.

Workers overlayed asphalt recently on the roads within Lake End Park and Parkway. Barriere

Construction did the work with money derived from maintenance funds and road royalty funds from

Morgan City’s road royalty sales tax, Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi said.

Better roads ahead at Lake End Park and Parkway

The Brownell Memorial Park and Campanile is just a short trip along La. 70, just north of Morgan City. It is the gift of the late Claire Horatio Brownell, a member of one of Louisiana’s pioneer families.

The park is now part of the attrac-tions offered by the City of Morgan City, according to terms and conditions of a lease the city has entered with the Brownell Foundation.

Its location on Lake Palourde makes it a natural tie-in to the adjacent Lake End Parkway and Lake End Park rec-reation area.

The Brownell Memorial Park recent-ly has been refurbished, with attention given to the visitors’ center, signage, walking trails and the tower itself through the efforts of Remington Begley. Begley and a host of family and friends recently completed his Eagle Scout Project which he was responsible for the coordination, solicitation of funds, and managing the project in or-der to earn his Eagle Scout honors.

Brownell always was devoted to the land that contributed so much to her family’s comfort and welfare. In order to show her gratefulness, she conceived the idea of perpetuating the serenity, beauty and abundance of the swamp through development of a quiet park native to the area.

It was her wish that the park be a nondenominational setting retaining its wild atmosphere, where a person might retreat to commune with God.

The 9.5-acre park was planned to show the many various plants that grow abundantly wild along the ridges of these swamps — palmettos, ele-phant ears, cattails, fern, many variet-ies of iris and other flowers, moss-lad-en trees, berry vines and cypress knees.

Along with many varieties of plant life, there is an abundance of animal life to be seen as you wander along the nature trail. At times, nature lovers can catch a glimpse of deer, swamp squirrels, rabbits or raccoons taking advantage of the tranquility the park has to offer. Bird watchers can enjoy the sights of the egrets, blue heron, woodpeckers, owls, wood ducks and the nation’s symbol, the bald eagle, in the parks’ bird sanctuary.

Because of her aroused interest in musical bells, Brownell elected to in-stall a carillon as a focal point of the park.

Rising to a height of 106 feet above its base, the carillon tower, with its smooth, simple lines, stands in elegant contrast

to its “pure nature” surroundings.The all-welded steel-and-concrete

tower houses one of the world’s largest and finest cast-bell carillons. The 61 bronze bells, which were cast in Holland, representing five full chro-matic octaves, range in weight from 18 pounds for the smallest to 4,730 pounds for the largest.

Each bell is simply embellished with a band of ivy vines around the crown. The largest (bourdon) bell contains the inscription: “This Carillon Given by Mrs. Claire H. Brownell In Loving Memory of Her Parents, Charles Horace Brownell and Frances Pierson Brownell.”

Verses of the 23rd Psalm are en-graved on the next largest 13 bells.

Bells in the tower chime each quar-ter-hour and on the hour.

The park is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays (closed Mondays through Wednesdays). Bells play selections every 30 minutes.

The Story of the CarillonsIn 1950 near Anyang, China, archae-

ologists uncovered bells that had been cast during the Chinese Bronze Age, which dates back 4,000 years. The “modern” carillon, dating back to the beginning of the 16th century, is an in-strument comprised of at least 25 chro-matically tuned bronze bells played manually by means of a console called a clavier.

The bells are usually suspended in a steel frame adapted to the belfry for which the carillon is intended. Each bell’s clapper is connected by a linkage of wires and tumblers to levers on the clavier. By striking appropriate levers, the carillonneur can ring any bell he desires. Thus, with a full chromatic range of bells, any melody may be played.

Carillon bells are cast from pure bronze and tuned to 1/1000th of a half-tone.

Pouring and tuning a musical bell is a highly refined art. A musical bell is in itself a symphony, having a strike tone, a hum tone and two partials — a tierce and fifth. All five tones must be in exact harmony within each bell, and each bell chromatically tuned with others of the carillon.

Tones of bells are determined by ma-terial, shape and weight. The first two factors have more or less become stan-dardized by individual bell founders. Final tuning is therefore directly relat-ed to weight (wall thickness).

In tuning, excess material is removed from inside the bell at just the right

place in just the right amount, else the bell is ruined and must be recast.

Tuning is done by hand-milling in conjunction with the aid of tuning forks

and electronic equipment.The tower’s natural lakefront setting

makes this one of the most unique and photogenic parks in the state.

Many sites to see while visiting St. Mary Parish

St. Mary Parish and its rich history offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore everything from swamp life to the oil industry.

Here is a sampling of the many things our area has to offer, provided by the Cajun Coast Visitors and Convention Bureau. There are many, many other sites that are not under governmental watch, nor are the beauties of nature in south Louisiana bound by a clock.

So, whether you choose to pick from the list that follows or simply take a ride in a personal boat down the bayou, enjoy your stay and, most importantly, come back and see us!

The Everett S. Berry Lighthouse Park, under and alongside the U.S. 90 bridge in downtown Berwick, is a must see for visitors to the Tri-City area. It is a unique and free offering.

The park areas were named in honor of the town’s former mayor, Everett Berry, who was instrumental in obtaining and arranging the resto-ration of the lighthouse.

Berry Lighthouse Park is Berwick’s first tourist attraction.

Visitors are welcome to take in the beauty of the Lighthouse Park for free.

The Southwest Reef Lighthouse, the attrac-tion’s centerpiece, has been restored and a lin-ear park under the Lionel J. Grizzaffi four-lane U.S. 90 elevated overpass from Sixth Street to First Street has been created.

The park, protected from the elements by the highway overhead, con-nects with the light-house, which is set on the Atchafalaya riverbank.

Features of the park in-clude paved parking, rec-reation facilities, walk-ways, landscaped lawn areas and a newly reno-vated dock area for view-ing the river. Several events are held at the fa-cility throughout the year.

Completion of the park was done in four phases.

Phase 1 was at a cost of $501,050. Phase 2 had a construction cost of $365,350, while Phase 3, which included pouring a plaza around the base of the lighthouse, removing an abandoned section of railroad track and add-ing landscaping features such as planters and lighting, was completed for $174,703.

Phase 4 included reno-vation of the dock area. The majority of the work at the dock was complet-ed by town crews and

equipment.Although Berwick has

the rights to Ship Shoal Lighthouse, it will re-main in the waters off the Louisiana coast until a means for its salvaging and transporting to Berwick can be found.

The Southwest Reef Lighthouse was salvaged by generous donations of heavy marine and barge equipment from area com-panies. Similar equipment and donations are needed by the town for salvaging the Ship Shoal Lighthouse.

Although the salvaging of the Southwest Reef Lighthouse was done mainly through dona-tions, its restoration was funded by the Town of Berwick with local funds, and very limited assis-tance from other sources.

Meanwhile, the town was fortunate to receive state and federal assistance for a substantial part of the linear park development through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act.

This program, adminis-tered through the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, has allowed federal funding to pay for approximately 80 percent of the linear park work, with the town funding the remaining 20 percent.

The park complements the Great Wall (Atchafalaya River floodwall) tourist at-traction that already exists along Front Street next to Evere t t S . Berry Lighthouse Park.

Whenever funds be-come available in the fu-ture, Berwick plans to implement its “Down by the Riverside” revitaliza-tion program that will blend Lighthouse Park attractions with other riverfront properties, and the two highway bridges and the Burlington-Northern Santa Fe Railroad spans.

St. Mary Parish is a treasure trove of aviation and cypress histories! Learning and exploring those histories is also free.

One visit to the Louisiana State Museum — Patterson off U.S. 90 at Cotten Road in

Patterson (next to the Patterson Area Civic Center at Kemper Williams Park), will give visitors a glimpse at those historical trea-sures. The museum opened at its present lo-cation in October 2005.

The property houses

the Wedell-Williams Aviation and Cypress Sawmill museums.

The Patterson area was a hotbed of varied aviation and lumber in-dustry activity for years, thanks to the family of F r a n c i s B e n n e t t Williams.

Patterson once boasted the largest sawmill in the Atchafalaya Basin area. What began in 1872 as the Pharr and Williams Sawmill in Patterson, owned by Capt. John Newton Pharr and Williams, would become the F.B.

Williams Cypress Co. in 1892 when Pharr bowed out of the business.

The Riggs Cypress Co. (formerly the Trellue Cypress Co.) was also sawing vast amounts of timber, thus adding to the huge amount of lum-ber being processed in Patterson.

Lumbering quickly be-came the state’s first sig-nificant manufacturing industry. As a result, cy-press lumber harvested and milled in Louisiana was shipped in mass quantities across the United States. Patterson then became home to the largest cypress sawmill in the world, owned sole-ly by Williams.

As fate would have it, Williams and his wife, E m i l y Wi l l i a m s o n Seyburn, would have a son, Harry P. Williams, who would create a stir in aviation history and ensure Patterson’s place on the proverbial map.

On the aviation scene in the early 1930s, avia-tors Harry Williams and James “Jimmie” Wedell were making history.

Harry Williams provid-ed financing for Wedell to

design race planes. Wedell and other race pi-lots raced his creations and broke world racing records.

To preserve the area’s aviation history in the early 1970s, the Wedell-Wi l l iams Memor ia l Foundation was formed and in 1978 Louisiana’s official aviation museum, the Wedell-Williams Aviation Museum, was opened next to the run-way of the Harry P. Wi l l iams Memor ia l Airport near Patterson. The original hangar and lean-to used by Wedell and Harry Williams could be seen from the front door of the muse-um.

Several years later, a group of interested citi-zens, many of whom were Wedell-Williams Memo-rial Foundation board members, realizing the large impact that the lumber industry had in shaping the economy and culture of the St. Mary Parish region, formed the Cypress Sawmill Found-ation.

More than 20 years ago they began collecting

State Museum houses local history treasure trove

The International Petroleum Museum & Exposition, also known as the Rig Museum, is home to the historic drilling rig “Mr. Charlie.” The “Mr. Charlie” is the only place in the world where the general public can walk aboard an au-thentic offshore drilling rig, according to Virgil Allen, International Petroleum Museum & Exposition president. Because of this people come from all around the world to visit the rig.

Some of the many places from which visitors have come include France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Austria, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, the Netherlands, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, Haiti, Antigua, Israel, Greece, Italy, Poland, Russia and Iceland. Visitors have also come from ev-ery state in the United States.

These visitors come to take a guided tour of the “Mr. Charlie” during which they hope to get a glimpse of what it’s like to live and work on an offshore oil rig. They want to learn what it takes to ex-plore for, drill for, and produce petroleum.

Visitors are interested in how this

global industry started in Morgan City, and how it has grown in the gulf and around the world, Allen said. They are interested in what kind of person it takes to choose a career which requires them to live on man-made, steel islands in order to provide this necessary prod-uct to the world even though it means much time away from their families.

“Mr. Charlie” visitors want to know about the many different jobs required to keep that island operating in addi-tion to drilling the well, and the educa-tion and skills required to do those jobs. Visitors learn about the amount of money that can be made and the type of lifestyle the income and the working schedules can provide. They are curi-ous about the living accommodations, the recreational options, and the meals and snacks served.

Allen said that visitors are amazed at the equipment, and its size, required to accomplish the job. Worker safety and changes in equipment and proce-dures that have made the jobs much safer are discussed during the tour.

Visitors also learn about the types

and amount of training workers go through to be prepared to do their jobs.

Patrons also show interest in the en-vironmental impact of drilling and pro-duction in gulf waters. Information about water depths that the rigs and production facilities are able to work in, and how deep wells are drilled is provided. Most are surprised at the size difference between modern drilling rigs compared to the “Mr. Charlie.”

Different aspects of the oil industry, such as exploration, drilling, produc-tion, fabrication and construction, pipe laying, transportation, diving, and Remotely Operated Vehicle operation, are discussed during the guided tours. Visitors marvel at the complexity of the whole operation needed to get a gallon of gasoline to the pump, Allen said.

Each guided tour is fashioned to the individual visitor or group. Visitors have the opportunity to ask questions which gives the visitor a unique, cus-tomized experience.

“Mr. Charlie” visitors have ranged in age from infant to 96 and in varied backgrounds from the “please just keep it simple for me” visitor to the NASA rocket scientist.

Tour groups range from the K-5 class field trips to the college groups, and from industry working groups to tour bus groups. Many of groups come back every year with new participants, Allen said.

Although large non-English speaking tour groups provide interpreters,

non-English speaking tours still get an understanding of the “Mr. Charlie” though the tour guides’ experience giv-ing tours.

Visitors find out about the rig muse-um and the tours through the state tourist information centers, advertising and promotion done by the Cajun Coast Visitors & Convention Bureau, social media and word of mouth. The museum is also featured in several different travel publications throughout the world. For the French speaking tour-ists, the museum and tour is very high-ly rated and recommended in their French — Louisiana Tour Guide.

Allen said most of the museum’s visi-tors to the area especially to “Mr. Charlie” tour. Therefore, another aspect of the guided tour is the opportunity for the tour guide to encourage visitors to spend additional time in St. Mary Parish and provide recommends for restaurants, hotels, other sites to see.

Guided tours of “Mr. Charlie” are giv-en at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, weather permit-ting. For information online, visit www.rigmuseum.com or call 985-255-9642.

During the Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, Aug. 31-Sept 3, guided tours will be given every hour on the hour with the first tour at 10 am and the last tour at 3 pm Friday, Saturday and Monday. Tours will be given at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. on Sunday. All tours are dependent upon the weather.

From a simple wildflower to perching birds, Louisiana's natural beauty is just a step away

Visitors looking for a relaxing, yet exhilarat-ing, round of golf need not travel far. St. Mary Golf and Country Club in B e r w i c k a n d T h e Atchafalaya at Idlewild near Patterson offer resi-dents and visitors alike outstanding amenities.

ST. MARY GOLF& COUNTRY CLUBJust a short drive to

Berwick is a hidden gem called St. Mary Golf & Country Club. Located at 581 Fairview Drive, this nine-hole facility offers everything desired in a country club.

St. Mary is a full ser-vice, semi-private golf course with great ameni-ties including a bar and grill, golf club repair and fitting, swimming pool and renovated greens and practice facilities.

The club offers private and group lessons with Head Golf Professional Barry Bolner, a Franklin native and M o r g a n City resi-dent. He al-so holds many wom-en’s and ju-nior’s clin-ics. Lessons are offered with Flig-htScope and Ernest Sports ES14 launch mon-itors.

Central Catholic High School coach Nathan Templet has a work pro-gram for student golfers. Students assist with course maintenance for 40 service hours as re-quired by the school. The course provides use of its practice area and the course for play for partic-ipants.

“St. Mary is a small, family-oriented facility where friends can join to-gether to have a good time,” Bolner said.

St. Mary is also the perfect venue to hold a charity golf tournament or corporate event. During the year, patrons can find charity-orga-nized tournaments , weekly golf scrambles on Wednesday evenings from April through August, monthly tourna-ments, Friday afternoon “shootouts,” and a Jack and Jill scramble every other month.

Anyone looking for a place to call their “golfing home,” St. Mary may be the place. In 2010, the Morgan Golf Design Group renovated the course, installing nine champion-style greens. These renovations made St. Mary one of the more challenging and enjoy-able courses in the area.

St. Mary offers a few options for members with pricing available online at www.stmarygolfclub.com. A fleet of new carts arrived July 6.

The pro shop has many major brands such as Callaway, Taylor Made, P ing , Ti t le i s t and Mizuno. Certified fittings are completed by Mizuno performance systems.

Play is dawn (approxi-mately 6:30 a.m. most of the year) to dusk. The course is open Tuesdays through Sundays.

Visit Bolner and his staff, and inquire about joining the St. Mary fami-ly. The clubhouse is avail-able for public rental for any occasion such as wed-dings, receptions, parties, baby showers, class re-unions and more. Call 985-384-8500 for details.

THE ATCHAFALAYALocated at 400 Cotten

R o a d a t K e m p e r Will iams Park, The Atchafalaya’s 18-hole course was designed by von Hagge, Smelek and Baril under the direc-tion of the late Robert von Hagge, who died in 2010. At that time, Golf Digest named it the “5th Best New Affordable Public Course” to play in the country and has since been named by Golf Digest as one of the Top 10 best golf courses in Louisiana.

Besides its challenging course amidst an idyllic setting, The Atchafalaya at Idlewild offers dining at its Clubhouse serving Cajun fare, fresh favor-ites, a well-stocked bar, large screen HDTVs and views of the course with seating on the back porch.

The Clubhouse, a 10,000-square-foot struc-ture modeled after an el-evated Acadian-style cot-tage with a 22-foot-wide back porch running the length of the clubhouse, offers a spectacular view as well as a wide choice of dining.

The designers created a 7,533-yard, public course that accentuates the beauty of the Atchafalaya Basin with dramatic ele-vations and scores of hills allowing spectacular views. Each hole has a bayou flavor to its name such as Sandy Cove, Devil’s Elbow, Duck Lake and Coon Trap.

The course features rolling hills, 108 sand traps, a half-million cubic yards of added dirt for “movement,” and 40 acres of lakes and wetland, and is a place where big busi-ness deals are often con-summated, some parish leaders have said.

“We landscaped this course exclusively with plants indigenous to the Atchafalaya Basin,” Atchafalaya Golf Course Commission Chairman Rudy Sparks said. The course is landscaped with more than 40 different species of trees and shrubs.

Each hole has five tee boxes, with varying lev-els of difficulty to choose from. The championship tees are the toughest, making the course chal-lenging and pleasurable to play at any skill level.

One of the highlights of the course is its unique “common green,” shared by holes 9 and 18, which are overlooked by the Clubhouse. Both holes, which come from oppo-site directions, share one green that is about 50 yards in length.

Ed Selser, director of golf at The Atchafalaya since December 2006, said play this year has slacked in events due to the econ-omy. But he is opti-mistic.

“On the bright side, t h e g o l f course is in good condition and drains better than most courses,” Selser said of the information he has gleaned from his annual pass holders who play a lot of golf.

Superintendent John Michael Powell is con-tinuing the progress.

“We are getting an in-crease in outing play as more golfers are discov-ering the facility,” said Selser. “It is an easy drive from New Orleans, B a t o n R o u g e o r Lafayette, and groups look for a place to make a ‘road trip.’ It’s good to see new faces and hear they had a good time.”

To help get more peo-ple out on the course, seasonal specials are of-fered.

“We do a Summer Breeze special where we have a $39 green fee on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,” he said.

Green fees for adults, juniors or seniors vary according to the day of the week with annual passes available for indi-viduals or families. An individual pass is $2,550. Family passes, only $2,750 annually, include spouse, dependent chil-dren and includes access for grandchildren under 18. Everyone has cart and range privileges.

Without a pass, all-day play Mondays through Thursdays is $58, for se-niors it is $48 and for ju-niors it is $28; all-day play Fridays through Sundays is $68 for adults

and for juniors it is $33. Seasonal twilight fees are $43 Mondays through Thursdays and $48 Fridays through Sundays. All prices include range balls and exclude taxes. Seniors must be 60 or old-er and juniors must be 17 or younger.

As always, St. Mary residents can enjoy a 10 percent discount. For de-tails on pricing and other amenities, visit The Atchafalaya’s website at http://atchafalayagolf.com or call 985- 395-GOLF.

The facility offers elec-tric-powered golf carts with a GPS system giv-ing the location to the green and other features from any point on the golf course.

The Atchafalaya plays host to numerous tourna-m e n t s e a c h y e a r. Tournaments range from charitable events such as Swinging for a Cause set for late September which benefits childhood cancer research to the Golf Channel Amateur Tour held in March. The Louisiana High School Athletic Association also held its regional competi-tion at The Atchafalaya.

The Atchafalaya offers more than just a round of golf.

“I think the big story we have is how beautiful the scenery is here in the Atchafalaya Basin,” he said. “This is really what the golf course was meant to be … a look at the Atchafalaya Basin and all the wildlife and foliage. Someone familiar with the Basin told us that it takes three days in the Basin to see all that you will see in one round of golf here.”

The skate park is more than 10,000 square feet of space, adding new adven-tures to features the lo-cals have named “the ta-co” and “the volcano.” The park also boasts a sepa-rate, fenced-in beginners’ area that will let newbies improve their skills be-fore tackling the more challenging features.

If skaters overheat, they can use the 18-foot splash pad, which douses the user with water.

Admission to The Swamp is free.

The centerpiece park is Noah’s Adventures. It fea-tures 18 holes of minia-ture golf featuring an ark, water and animals. Cost for a round of miniature golf is $3 per person.

Park hours are 3 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays; and noon to 8 p.m. on Sundays.

A private room called the Clubhouse that holds 50 people is available for rent and private parties. Cost is $200 for two hours, eight tables and 40 chairs.

The outdoor Pavilion rental is available for $75 for two hours. It fea-tures four large picnic ta-bles and two ceiling fans.

Noah’s Adventures in-formation is available by calling 985-395-6624 and on Facebook by search-ing Noah’s Adventures Mini Golf.

Central Park that houses these features is located in the block en-compassed by Canal, Field and South roads and Southeast Boulevard.

Next to Bayou Vista Community Center at 1333 Belleview St. is the spray park. A variety of water features from buck-et dumps to water can-nons keep visitors cool.

Summer hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. M o n d a y s t h r o u g h Saturdays. Entry is $2

per person. Now that school has started, the spray park is only open for private parties Saturdays and Sundays by calling 985-395-6552.

Siracusaville Recre-ation Building also offers a seasonal spray park. To find out costs and park hours, call 985-384-3189.

Morgan City has been busy expanding venues for youth as well.

On July 28, 2014, the city officially opened The Complex Skate Park be-hind Cypress Park. The skateboard-only facility is free and opened from dawn to dusk.

The Morgan City P e t t i n g Z o o a n d Educational Reserve is one of the upgrade proj-ects that was on Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi Jr.’s list of things to accomplish.

Children of all ages can visit the farm ani-mals — there is Penny the potbelly pig, Reese the pygmy goat, Hope the miniature horse, Chester the miniature donkey, Daisy the zebu cow, Norman the minia-ture cow, and chickens, rabbits, turtles and more.

The public is invited to adopt an animal at the zoo to help defray the cost of feeding and hous-ing the menagerie. Donors can donate the cost of feed for a year. To become an adoption do-nor, contact the zoo by calling 985-384-3343.

Hours at the facility are seasonal. Current hours are noon to 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, and 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays, weath-er permitting. Admission is $2, and children age 2 and under are admitted free. Feed is available for pur-chase, and outside food is discouraged due to dietary requirements of the ani-mals.

The zoo’s chickens lay eggs regularly. The fresh chicken eggs are sold for $3 a dozen when available.

Search for Morgan City Petting Zoo on Facebook for information or call 985-384-3343. The petting zoo staff encourages peo-ple to keep up with the Facebook page where weather closings and oth-er closings are announced.

Field trips are $5 per person. Field trips in-clude a tour guide, a sou-venir cup filled with ani-mal feed and a pass to return to the zoo for free.

Party packages also are available. A child’s birth-day party for up to 20 people is $40 during open hours. Open hours par-ties include space in the “poop-free zone.” Add $2 per each additional guest.

Private parties in 2-hour increments are available weekdays and weekends between 1 and 4 p.m. The fee of $175 in-cludes admission for up to 35 people, space in the “poop-free zone,” animal feed in a souvenir cup for everyone, and a staff per-son on hand.

The finest traditions of our community can be marked and are

enhanced by the passage of time. The Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum

Festival is testament to the fact that each passing year creates new memories

and new generations of friends and neighbors who gather together for fun,

food and festivities. And each of us tends to remember our lives in terms of

our families, friends and events which we fondly look back on.

At Patterson State Bank, we’re proud to be a part of the 83rd Anniversary of

The Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, and we pause to remember our

own traditions of service as your community bank. What E.F. Marin and

Harry Williams began 93 years ago has continued to grow and prosper,

a fact which would have made them proud. In their stead,

we thank you for being a part of all our lives.

historic artifacts docu-menting this important regional industry with the vision of creating a museum that would pre-serve these objects and educate the public about this important facet of Louisiana’s history.

Somet ime around 1995, the Louisiana State Museum system became aware of this sig-nificant private collection and formed a cooperative agreement with the C y p r e s s S a w m i l l Foundation that would enable the state and foundation to work to-gether to realize their preservation and muse-um goals.

This agreement was the beginning of what is now known as the Louisiana State Museum, Cypress Sawmill Collection.

In 1990, the founda-t i o n s t a r t e d t h e P a t t e r s o n C y p r e s s Sawmill Festival at Kemper Williams Park near Patterson.

Money raised by the festival has helped fund educational programs for local students, traveling exhibits and acquiring artifacts.

In 1997, the Louisiana Legislature designated Patterson as the Cypress Capital of Louisiana and the Cypress Sawmill Foundation got legisla-tive support for its future C y p r e s s S a w m i l l Museum.

Both the Wedell -Williams Aviation and Cypress Sawmill muse-ums now are under the moniker of the Louisiana State Museum.

Another twist of fate would result in a new fa-cility being built on land donated to the area by the Kemper and Leila Williams Foundation (Kemper Williams was also the son of F.B. Williams and brother of Harry Williams).

The 1979 donation of 290 acres of land located on a portion of Idlewild Plantation has resulted in the building of Kemper

Will iams Park, the Patterson Area Civic Center and the champi-onship Atchafalaya Golf Course at Idlewild de-signed by Robert von Hagge of von Hagge, Smelek and Baril.

Visitors to Wedell-Williams Aviation and C y p r e s s S a w m i l l Museum are welcome to view the state-of-the-art Aviation Gallery and the very best of the Cypress Sawmill Collection.

Admission is free and the museum is open Tu e s d a y s t h r o u g h Saturdays (except state holidays) from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Group reserva-tions are encouraged and can be made by calling 985-399-1268.

The Wedell-Williams Aviation and Cypress Sawmill Museum is now the state’s official state aviation and cypress sawmill industry muse-um, and houses two very important collections documenting the state’s rich history. The amount and depth of displays may surprise visitors.

The Wedell-Williams Aviation Collection focus-es on the legacy of Louisiana aviation pio-neers Wedell and Harry Williams, who formed an air service in Patterson in 1929.

Both men became na-t i ona l ly prominent during what was known as the Golden Age of Aviation. Although both Wedel l and Harry Williams perished in plane crashes, their lega-cy lives on in the memo-rabilia and planes on dis-play.

This portion of the mu-seum features state-of-the-art displays, numer-ous aircraft, 1930s air race trophies and memo-rabilia, and an air-racing film in the David J. Felterman Memorial Theater.

Among the aircraft is a complete collection of replicas of all the most notable Wedell-Williams racers of which many are flyable.

Also open for tours is the Cypress Sawmill Collection that docu-ments the history of the cypress lumber industry in Louisiana.

The exhibit features a variety of artifacts and photographs from the Williams Company and others. It also features a film of the Williams Cypress Company lum-bering operations and tells the story of this im-portant regional indus-try.

In addition, the muse-um has a changing ex-hibit gallery, which hosts a variety of art and arti-facts that highlight other aspects of Louisiana’s culture and history. “Water Trails of the Atchafalaya” will open in late October. This exhibi-tion celebrates one of Louisiana’s greatest nat-ural resources, the Atchafalaya Swamp Basin. Originally on dis-play at the West Baton Rouge Museum in 2017, this new version will be tailored for the Wedell-Williams Aviation and C y p r e s s S a w m i l l Museum. Photography and paintings by well-known Louisiana visual artists, including photog-rapher C.C. Lockwood and landscape painter Melissa Bonin, will illus-trate the rich biodiversi-ty of the world’s most productive swamp.

Named “Long River” by the Choctaw, the A t c h a f a l a y a R i v e r stretches 135 miles from where it branches off the Mississippi and Red riv-ers to its terminus at the Gulf of Mexico. The basin of this river, which in-cludes some 1.4 million acres, is the only growing delta in Louisiana. It boasts the largest contig-uous bottomland hard-wood forest in North America and is prime wintering habitat for more than half of America’s migratory wa-terfowl.

Visitors to the area should take advantage of one of the many recre-ational attractions in the area — Kemper Williams Park near Patterson.

Kemper Wi l l iams Park, located off Cotten Road (via U.S. 90), has been evolving into the vi-sion created by its found-ers when it was con-ceived in 1979.

The Kemper and Leila Williams Foundation do-nated the 296 acres to be used as a recreational ar-ea that became known as Kemper Williams Park.

The vast lands of the Williams Estate grew from purchases of land made as the family built what became the largest cypress sawmill in the United States.

When those times came to pass, ambitious plans were put in place when the Kemper Williams Park land was donated for the purpose of developing a multi-recreation facility.

Most of those plans have become a reality and not only feature the recreation park but also house the Patterson Area Civic Center, Louisiana State Museum — Patterson (which exhibits the Wedell-Williams Aviation and the Cypress Sawmill history), and The Atchafalaya at Idlewild Golf Course.

Initially, the Kemper Williams Foundation do-nated $1 million to devel-op the park. But the de-sired improvements cost much more, so the land

was donated to the parish with a time frame to make recreational improve-ments to the property.

Those improvements have been achieved at a steady pace over 30-plus years with grants from parish, state and federal governments.

The park started with only five ball fields, three tennis courts and a picnic area, and now sports a multiple activity facility.

Offerings include base-ball, softball, soccer, ten-nis, golf and horseshoes. In addition, and since 1999, the park hosts an annual drive-through Christmas lighting display.

With the development of the RV Park plus 163 RV rally sites, large na-tional and state recre-ational vehicle and camp-ing groups host their ral-lies at the park and civic center facilities. Some of the groups that hosted rallies are Cruisin’ Cajuns, Good Sam, Pelican Ramblers, and the GMC Motorhomes.

Park Director Meaghan Thompson said some of the improvements recent-ly completed include skin-ning ball field infields and parking lot lighting improvements.

The electronic message center on U.S. 90 keeps passersby informed of the current activities.

The park added some new LED Christmas dis-plays and a radio station for Christmas music. “Our drive through

Christmas light display runs the month of December,” she said. All the displays are bought with donations from indi-viduals and companies.

Anyone interested in buying a Christmas dis-play should contact Kemper Williams Park.

In the past year, Kemper Williams hosted such events as the Horseshoe Pro-Tour and the Cal Ripken Baseball State Tournament.

“I look forward to the new improvements and updates we have planned for this upcoming year,” said Thompson.

Kemper Williams Park website, www.kemper-williamspark.com, offers an event calendar, a map of the park and more.

People can also follow the park on Facebook.

“Our guests have come to expect the unique ex-periences we provide and we graciously deliver the escape they desire throughout our proper-ty,” said Richard Picard, spokesman.

Rob Thomas opened the club in May 2006 and has been followed by an A-list of musical en-tertainers that include Jewel, Chris Isaac, Keith S w e a t , t h e B l a c k Crowes, Jonny Lang and Hinder.

Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel

BERWICKAcross the Atchafalaya River from

Morgan City is the Town of Berwick. This historical town offers numerous sites of interest to see on a walking tour.

A brief and early history:1797-1907

Berwick was originally inhabited by the indigenous Native American Ishak-Atakapa Nation and the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana. The first white set-tler came to the area around the time of the American Revolution.

Thomas Berwick, a surveyor in the Opelousas district, and his wife, Eleanor Wallace, raised a family of eight children, the oldest of whom was named Joseph.

The Berwick family received a Spanish land grant dated July 3, 1797, making Berwick the site of the first set-tlement in St. Mary Parish.

From those early beginnings, the com-munity continued to grow. Sugarcane production initially drive the economy.

Rich natural resources drew people from outlying areas. The Atchafalaya River and Southern Pacific Railroad supported growing industries and pro-vided the connection to other areas of the state and country.

In 1905, the settlement’s population had grown to numbers large enough to warrant a formulization of its municipal-ity resulting in its incorporation in 1907.

Self-Guided TourThis self-guided tour was conceived

by a small group of preservation-mind-ed Berwick citizens to:

—Illustrate significant architectural styles of the original areas of town.

—Generate interest in preserving the few original commercial buildings smattered along a once-thriving “First Street” area.

—Introduce historical homes related to the town’s early years to new and/or younger residents.

Visitors will find varied conditions among the properties featured in this tour.

All homes are private unless other-wise noted. Interiors or grounds are not open to public exploration.

—491 Texas St.: Built circa 1895 in Bayou Pigeon by Charles Forgey. Around 1905 it traveled to Berwick by barge, was loaded on logs, and brought into place by mules. Grillwork is not original to the home.

—3349 Second St.: Current owners

do not know the history of the home ex-cept that it is older than 75 years.

—Twin City Gospel Church (cor-ner of Canton and Second streets): Originally constructed in the 1890s by the John Pharr family as a Methodist church with Victorian Gothic styling.

—Mason Methodist Church (601 Oregon St.): Work began on this build-ing in 1900 and the cornerstone was laid on June 9, 1901.

—279 Ceylon St.: Exact year built is unknown. Originally known as the “Wheaton Bowman” home after its orig-inal owner. Unique architecture of high dormers on three sides that meet in the

center of the roof. Most likely built of cy-press just as other early homes of the area.

—2889 Second St.: Modified Victorian, now home to Berwick’s oldest resident (as of this writing). Was built by current residents’ spouse’s grandfa-ther. Home was originally part of larger piece of property of which parts were earlier sold.

MORGAN CITYMorgan City, along the river that the

Attakapas Indians called Atchafalaya or long river, has many historic places to see that are easily accessible as a walking tour.

Here is a bit of history to consider:The Atchafalaya has shaped Morgan

City’s history — from the Attakapas Indians to present-day shrimping and oil trade.

Morgan City’s resilience can be ex-plained by its people, a “gumbo” of ethnicity … French, Spanish, Indian, German, Dutch and African American, a people whose strong belief in faith, tradition and family define today’s city.

Originally known as Tigre Island, after a group of United States survey-ors spotted an unknown cat, the area attracted Walter Brashear. Brashear, a famed Kentucky surgeon and planter, purchased large tracts of land.

Visitors to the area will find it unique that a former governor’s home, Oaklawn Manor in Franklin, also hap-pens to be an antebellum mansion open for public tours. Former Louisiana Gov. Mike Foster and his wife, Alice, reside in St. Mary Parish.

Sweeping oaks and a rich history are only part of what makes Oaklawn Manor in Franklin interesting.

Their home, located at 3296 Oaklawn Drive off Irish Bend Road in the parish seat of Franklin, is open seven-days-a-week for tours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., except major holidays.

Cost of the tour is $15 for adults, and $10 for children and students. Group rates are available for 10 or more.

Oaklawn Manor remains a landmark of the old South, holding fast through the Civil War, hurricanes, neglect and the ravages of time.

Built in 1837 by Alexander Porter, an Irishman who became a leading Louisiana statesman, it was the manor house of a large sugar cane plantation.

The Greek Revival mansion is con-structed of brick from the surrounding soil and features 20-inch thick walls and a massive foundation.

Encircling the old dwelling are spa-cious grounds with landscaped gardens, live oaks and footpaths.

While strolling the grounds, visitors may view the aviary built by Warner Brothers Studios for the filming of the movie, “Drowning Pool,” starring Paul Newman and Joann Woodward.

Also featured on the grounds is the Old Butter House well lined with origi-nal slave-made bricks. The well, in the center of the stone floor, once contained buckets of milk and butter. Butter and cheese were made on the marble count-ers on both sides of the room.

The Fosters commissioned renowned craftsman Don Gomez to carve a com-plete set of native Louisiana waterfowl to complement the antique bird prints by Gould, Selby and Audubon, already on display in the manor.

The Fosters have been agreeable to sharing their home, too. It has been the scene of weddings, receptions and St. Mary Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours socials.

his sugar cane plantation was the beginning of the first permanent settle-ment known as the town of Brashear.

Because of the town’s strategic marine location, it played a prominent role in the War Between the States.

Brashear was occupied by Federal troops for more than three years. It was in Morgan City that the Union troops planned the destruction of the Avery Island salt mines, the cutting off of Rebel supply lines from Texas, the capture of Texas to restore her to the Union, and the annihilation of all Confederate resistance in southwest Louisiana.

The remains of Fort Starr, a Union fort, are still visible near the Atkinson Memorial Presbyterian Church at 212 Fourth St.

Following the war, Charles Morgan, a steam-ship and railroad en-trepreneur, successfully dredged the Atchafalaya Bay Channel and made Brashear his base of op-erations. As a result, Brashear became a bus-tling trade center for an-imal fur, cypress timber, and seafood. In 1876, the town was renamed Morgan City in his honor.

The period from the late 1800s to the ear-ly 1900s was an era of growth and development. Many of the historic buildings such as Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Trinity Episcopal Church and Pharr Chapel United Methodist Church, as well as distinctive homes including Cotten Top, the Norman-Schreier House, and Cypress Manor were constructed.

Boat building, moss picking, and a shell crushing plant broad-ened Morgan City’s eco-nomic base.

Substituting the swamps of Morgan City for the jun-gles of Africa, Hollywood made its mark in 1917 with the filming of the first Tarzan movie starring Elmo Lincoln.

This would be the first of several films highlight-ing Morgan City’s diverse landscape.

In 1937, Morgan City became known as the “jumbo” shrimp capitol of the world. Because of the community’s strong Roman Catholic roots, the “Blessing of the Fleet” was introduced by the Louisiana Shrimp Festival’s founder and first president, Paul Acklen LeBlanc. He sug-gested that this ancient old-world custom be in-corporated into the cele-bration to ensure a safe return of fishermen and a bountiful harvest.

Following the blessing, the celebration traveled to Egle’s Place for a fais-do-do, a Cajun dance. This was the inception of the Louisiana Shrimp Festival, the state’s old-est chartered harvest fes-tival.

A decade later, Morgan City made national head-lines when Kerr-McGee Industries drilled the first successful offshore oil well out of sight of land.

According to The Times Picayune, it was the most significant discovery to date. The “black gold rush” marked a new era in the city’s prosperity. Because of its considerable im-portance to the economy, “petroleum” was added to the name of the Louisiana Shrimp Festival.

The present day Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival is held every Labor Day weekend in the historic district.

Morgan City’s Main Street Program designa-tion was officially recog-

nized in 1997, and com-bined with the nine-block historic district, it now en-compasses a 19-block area.

Just as the Atchafalaya River continually flows, so does Morgan City. Its ebbs have defined its character. A relentless spirit of the people and a strong belief in family, faith and tradition make Morgan City the place many call home.

Sites to visit include:—The Great Wall:

Built after 1973 when floodwaters nearly topped the former 13’ sea-wall, the present struc-ture stands 21’ tall and offers a panoramic view of the Atchafalaya River from its promenade. Be sure to visit the original floodwall monument and the nearby Front Street area shops.

—Wilmore House (703 First St.): Circa 1820, it is the oldest res-idence in Morgan City. It is a fine example of the early Acadian cottage.

—Cotten Top (716 First St.): A Victorian-era Greek Revival home featuring a distinctive circular portico with six columns. It was built in 1905 by W.M. Cotten, a local lumber magnate.

—Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Fest-ival office: The office is located in an Acadian-style home at corner of Greenwood and Second streets that was built in 1908.

—Trinity Episcopal Church (corner of Greenwood and Second streets): Designed by a former mayor, circa 1877, this “beautiful, little green church” reflects the American Cottage-type architecture in the shin-gle style.

—Lawrence Park Gazebo: Built in 1913, this structure is locat-ed on property donated to the town of Brashear

(Morgan City) in 1876 by Emily Brashear Lawrence, daughter of founding father, Dr. Walter Brashear. The park is the site of the Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival, a top 20 Southeast Tourism Society event.

—Pharr Chapel United Methodist Church (cor-ner of Federal Avenue and Everett Street): This church was built circa 1878 and reflects a New England “Georgian Revival” motif. It was built on land donated by Captain John Newton Pharr. Its copper steeple is an architectural delight.

—Norman-Schreier House/ City Archives (corner of Federal Avenue and Duke Street): Built in 1908 by M.E. Norman, co-founder of Norman-Breaux Lumber Company, its architecture is of the Mediterranean Spanish style. It is the home of the Morgan City Archives.

—Sacred Heart Cath-olic Church (corner of Union and Third streets): Built on the site of the first Catholic mission in 1859 and later renamed in 1885, this Gothic Revival-style church and separate baptistry (one of only a few in this country), reflects an Italian renaissance custom of detaching the church building from the baptistry. Its bell tower still dominates the down-town skyline.

—City Hall/Court House (corner of First and Everett streets): Currently housing our city’s government and built in 1905, it is an excellent example of Victorian-era architec-ture. It is truly an out-standing old building still functioning today.

—Downtown Post Office (corner of First and Everett streets): Downtown’s most classi-cal building and a superb

example of American Neoclassic influence, one of the few post office build-ings actually owned by the Federal government.

—Mr. Charlie Rig Museum: Built in 1952, it is the first submers-ible drilling rig used in offshore production. Mr. Charlie is an authentic work setting and is the only place in the world where the general public can walk on an authentic drilling rig. Admission charged.
