Thu, 06/10/2021 - 12:39pm

Julie Anderson Lively has been named the new executive director of the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program She will begin her appointment July 1.
“Since her arrival at LSU in 2010, Lively has led a wide range of Sea-Grant-related research projects supported by more than $23 million in funding for which she has been either principal or co-principal investigator,” said Sam Bentley, Louisiana State University (LSU) Vice President for the Office of Research and Economic Development. “She leads a diverse research team of extension associates, graduate and undergraduate students and post-doctoral researchers in a portfolio of work that blends research and extension, both core missions of Sea Grant. The search committee was deeply impressed by her central role in numerous regional and national Sea Grant panels and networks.”
Lively, an associate professor in LSU’s School of Renewable Natural Resources and LSG’s and the LSU AgCenter’s fisheries specialist, began her career at LSU in 2010. She earned her Ph.D. in marine biology from the University of Delaware.
“I’m very excited to lead such a great organization and group of people,” said Lively. “Louisiana Sea Grant is not only about high-quality research; it is uniquely positioned at the integration of applied research, extension and education to solve problems for the people and communities of coastal Louisiana and beyond.
Lively is Louisiana Sea Grant’s fourth executive director since the program’s establishment in 1968. She replaces Robert Twilley, professor in the LSU College of the Coast and Environment, who announced his departure from Sea Grant in December so he can concentrate on his existing research.
Louisiana Sea Grant (www.laseagrant.org) strives to promote stewardship of the state’s coastal resources through a combination of research, education and outreach programs critical to the cultural, economic and environmental health of Louisiana’s coastal zone. Louisiana Sea Grant is part of the National Sea Grant College Program, a network of 34 university-based programs in each of the U.S. coastal and Great Lakes states, Puerto Rico and Guam.

La. SmartPort gets $1.6 million

Thu, 06/10/2021 - 12:34pm

Louisiana’s SmartPort initiative is the recipient of a $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Governor's Office said Wednesday.
That federal award will be matched by $1.4 million from the state and port partners for the $3 million project that will enhance Louisiana’s Mississippi River ports with next-generation maritime technology.
“With the SmartPort initiative, Louisiana is taking a major leading role in bringing technological efficiencies to maritime commerce,” said Gov. John Bel Edwards.
First announced in July 2020, the SmartPort Initiative is designed to streamline operations and improve safety through real-time data shared by port administrators, tenants, shippers, and warehouse, cargo and ground transportation providers.
The program comprehensively evaluates navigation, coastal issues and flood risks along the Mississippi River. Additionally, the program will ultimately support efforts for the proposed river diversion project.
The Port of New Orleans, the Port of South Louisiana and the Port of Greater Baton Rouge are lead partners with LED in supporting the project, along with other ports and warehouses along the Lower Mississippi River.
“President Biden is committed to unleashing the full power of the federal government to ensure our nation not only recovers from this pandemic but builds back better,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo.
The SmartPort program includes a decision support tool to forecast waves and shoaling at port facilities along the Mississippi River, which will aid port operations and navigation. The Real-Time Shoaling Forecast Tool will be part of a suite of weather, river and road traffic analytics to improve efficiency at ports and supporting the ports from the threats of natural disasters and economic uncertainties.
SmartPort builds off of the work being done for the Shoaling Forecast Tool, instituted by the Port of New Orleans.
ase of doing business on and attracting business to the Mississippi River,” said Paul Aucoin, executive director of the Port of South Louisiana.

Incorporate more blueberries into your diet

Thu, 06/10/2021 - 9:03am

Fruits and vegetables are vital components of a nutritious diet, and few foods pack a more nutritional punch than blueberries.
Blueberries grown in Louisiana are available at this time of the year. Some Louisiana farms offer pick-your-own options.
Verywell Health says blueberries are touted as a superfood because they are full of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and phytosterols, which are micronutrients that can significantly lower LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Blueberries also are low in saturated fat and may help lower triglyceride levels.
A study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that women who consume blueberries on a daily basis have lower blood pressure. Furthermore, researchers in Finland determined a berry-rich diet supports healthy aging and controls the risk of chronic diseases.
Enjoying a blueberry muffin or a cup of blueberries with breakfast are two ways to consume more blueberries. But those are not the only ways to incorporate more blueberries into your diet.
1. Make a smoothie. Blend blueberries into a smoothie containing yogurt and other fruit. Drink it any time of the day as a filling snack or even a small meal.
2. Whip up blueberry relish. Diced fresh blueberries tossed with onion, diced tomato and various seasonings can be used to top fish tacos or spread on toast rounds.
3. Create a fruit salad. Blend together various fresh fruits into a delicious fruit salad. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top to prevent browning of the fruits used.
4. Whip up overnight oats. Mix equal parts of almond milk, oats and Greek yogurt together in a container and let sit overnight. In the morning, mix in favorites such as blueberries. Add a little pure vanilla extract for added flavor.
5. Add blueberries to batters. Mix blueberries into pancake or waffle batters to add extra nutrients to meals.
6. Flavor your drinks. Drop blueberries into water, fruit juices or lemonade for a nutritional boost. Dress up sangria with blueberries for an added punch to this popular cocktail.
7. Mix up energy bites. Pair nuts, oats, chia seeds, flax seeds and other healthy ingredients with blueberries. Utilize maple syrup or honey to keep ingredients together, and bake until golden brown.
Many different recipes are available online for the use of blueberries.
Blueberries make nutritious additions to any diet, and there are various ways to incorporate more of this flavorful fruit into meals.

BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE
1½ cups apple juice, or substitute white grape juice, dairy milk or almond milk
1 banana, halved
1½ cups frozen blueberries
¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
fresh blueberries and mint sprigs for garnish, optional
Place apple juice, banana, blueberries and Greek yogurt in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Pour into glasses and serve, topped with blueberries and mint if desired.

BLUEBERRY SALAD
⅔ cup sliced almonds
3 Tbsp. sugar
8 cups spring greens, baby spinach or your greens of choice
salt and pepper
4 baby seedless cucumbers, thinly sliced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup blueberries
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Place almonds in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cook, stirring often, until sugar melts and is caramely, coating all of the almonds — about 6 to 8 minutes. Don’t take your eyes off of this as they can burn quickly!
Transfer almonds to a piece of parchment paper to let them cool. Break them into pieces if they are clumped.
In a large bowl, toss greens with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle on blueberries, cucumbers, green onions and parmesan cheese. Add almonds on top. Serve immediately with the balsamic dressing.
CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Whisk together vinegar, garlic, cream, mustard, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stream in olive oil, while whisking, until emulsified. Stir in chives. This dressing stays great in the fridge. Just shake or whisk it to combine before serving.

Woman spurred to action by grandchildren's plight

Thu, 06/10/2021 - 9:00am

By Jeanne Phillips, ©United Features Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: I have a grandson (25) and granddaughter (22) who are both extremely overweight (300 pounds each). They not only have health issues, but also mental issues. Both work part time at the same company as their mom and dad — and still live at home. They don’t date, don’t drive and are very dependent on their parents because their parents encourage it. My granddaughter is being treated with meds; my grandson is not.
I’m very close to him, and he shares a lot with me. He has issues with both of his parents, but more so with his mom. They were raised in a VERY Christian home. There were always weight issues for the entire family because they eat most of their meals out. My daughter-in-law rarely cooks, and the house resembles a “Hoarders” home.
In the past, I tried talking with my son and his wife but they have a convenient excuse for everything I bring up.
During my last conversation with my grandson, he was so unhappy he mentioned suicide. PLEASE can you help me? How can I get through to my son and his wife?
DISTRAUGHT GRANDMA IN TEXAS

DEAR GRANDMA: Do your son and his wife know their son is depressed to the point of talking about suicide? If they are unaware, put them on notice. While you’re at it, give him the number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-8255.
Because you have already tried talking to his parents and found them unreceptive, would you consider inviting your grandson to live with you for a while? It would be a way of teaching him healthier eating habits, and if he needs medication, you might be able to see that his doctor prescribes it. Living apart from his parents might also be an incentive for him to become more independent in other ways, such as continuing his education if he is able, which would improve his employment prospects.

DEAR ABBY: There is a trend happening these days. Young people live together for several years, get pregnant and go to the justice of the peace to get legally married. Then, a year or more later, they sometimes decide to have a formal wedding ceremony. Friends throw them a shower, and the wedding is often elaborate.
I thought a shower gift or wedding gift was to help the new couple to get their household set up. These couples already have everything in their house. I feel this is a slap in the face of tradition. What are your thoughts?
OLD-FASHIONED

DEAR OLD-FASHIONED: Yes, it’s a break with tradition. These changes have occurred because of changes in social mores, the economy and gender roles. The tradition used to involve a young woman going directly from her parents’ house to that of her husband.
More recently, young people have postponed marriage, established themselves in the workplace and achieved economic independence before coupling up. This is a positive step because if the marriage fails or the spouse dies, the widowed spouse isn’t left without the tools to support themselves and their family.
While you may think the couple “already has everything they need,” take a peek at their bridal registry because it may be an eye-opener. And remember, if you cannot celebrate happily with the couple, no rule of etiquette dictates that you must attend the wedding.

No yellow brick road: Berwick council moves to confirm approval of subdivision

Wed, 06/09/2021 - 11:09am

BILL DECKER

bdecker@daily-review.com

BERWICK — The Town Council unanimously passed an ordinance Tuesday modifying its subdivision rules so they can’t be interpreted to prevent approval of a new housing development.
The public hearing preceding the passage vote led to a sometimes heated discussion with the attorney for Cajun Sunrise LLC, which owns property adjacent to the proposed Atchafalaya River Estates Subdivision.
Cajun Sunrise, owned by David Webster of Morgan City, alleges in a lawsuit filed against the town government in April that the town didn’t follow its own subdivision regulations when it approved plans for Atchafalaya River Estates in March. The lawsuit was filed in 16th Judicial District Court.
The limited liability corporation alleges that work on the Atchafalaya River Estates site included excavation of a ditch that extended onto the Cajun Sunrise property.
Cajun Sunrise wants the court to look at “the actions of the town in demanding” that Atchafalaya River Estates make changes to Cajun Sunrise’s property without seeking Cajun Sunrise’s written permission. The measure, Cajun Sunrise said, has caused a lot of damage to its property.
Cajun Sunrise attorney Justin Schmidt said at Tuesday’s public hearing that District Judge Lewis Pitman “started to pull back the curtain on Oz” during pretrial proceedings in the lawsuit.
“This is a clear violation of the civil code …,” Schmidt said. “While you can do what you want with your property, you can’t do it to the detriment of others.”
Allen McElroy, the retired Berwick town attorney who continues work on the case, joined the council meeting by way of Zoom.
“The lawsuit against the town of Berwick is improper and, in my opinion, will be dismissed,” McElroy said.
McElroy’s view is that the Cajun Sunrise-Atchafalaya River Estates disagreement isn’t relevant to the town’s decision to approve plans for the subdivision.
“Cajun Sunrise has a dispute with Atchafalaya River Estates,” McElroy said. “They can litigate it in court. But it’s not right to bring the town into anything [the ditch dispute] that it never authorized or approved.”
Schmidt traded sometimes heated words with council members Colleen Askew and Raymond Price over what they said were Schmidt’s incorrect claims about their use or ownership of land in that area.
“You’re being nasty when you come up here and talk about Oz,” Askew said.
The ordinance passed Wednesday “modifies, adds to and supersedes any provisions in any subdivision regulation or other ordinance that prevents or defeats approval of Atchafalaya River Estates subdivision.”
Voting for the ordinance were council members Price, Askew, Lud Henry and James Richard. Kevin Hebert abstained. In previous meetings, he said he owns land in the area and has done business with Webster.
The lawsuit names Dr. Natchez N. “Trey” Morice, Jennifer Spitale Morice, Louis Spitale, Stacy Spitale, Sidney Roy and Mary Gail Roy as members of Atch-afalaya River Estates LLC.
Plans are for 41 homes to be built in Atchafalaya River Estates.
Also Tuesday:
—The council set budget hearings for 6 p.m. July 20 and, if necessary, July 27.
—The council approved payments of $25,625 to B&J Enterprises of Metairie and engineer George Mikhael for $4,339 related to the installation of a new roof at the town hall.
—The council heard Charlie Driskill of Twin City Gospel Temple raise the possibility of a gospel music event. Driskill didn’t have a specific date or time for such an event but said he hopes it could take place near the riverfront lighthouse.
Henry made a motion expressing support for the idea.
“Hallelujah!” Driskill replied.
—The council voted to continue to use The Daily Review as its official journal.
