Port board gets a look at Golden Ray's transit

Tue, 01/12/2021 - 11:41am

BILL DECKER

The Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District board heard Monday that the number of shipping transits was down last month. But at least one of the transits through local waterways was huge, and more are coming.
At its regular monthly meeting, the board looked at the big video screen at the Emergency Operations Center to see pictures of a portion of the Golden Ray floating through the Bayou Chene on a barge.
The 656-foot Golden Ray capsized at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia, in 2019 with more than 4,000 autos aboard. After a series of delays, including a fire on the capsized vessel, COVID-19 and the threat of hurricanes, the ship’s stern moved through waterways here Dec. 30 on its way to Modern American Recycling Services Inc. in Gibson to be scrapped.
Extra caution was called for as the Julia B, the barge carrying the Golden Ray section, moved through the Bayou Chene Flood Control structure with a Coast Guard escort.
At Monday’s meeting, Coast Guard Lt. Hayley Gipson said the barge passed through the structure safely.
Port of Morgan City Executive Director Raymond “Mac” Wade said three more pieces of the Golden Ray are headed to the area.
Gipson also reported an average of 63 vessels a day made transit in December, down about 14%.
Monday’s 5 p.m. board meeting was a short one so members could attend former member Lee Dragna’s swearing in as Morgan City mayor at 6 p.m. at nearby Morgan City Municipal Auditorium. Dragna, who was serving as the board’s vice president, submitted his resignation from the port board on Sunday.
The board also:
—Heard that the Coast Guard is planning a February high-water meeting for local officials. They’ll discuss preparations for the elevated water levels anticipated for the winter-spring season.
The Atchafalaya at Morgan City was at 2.97 feet Tuesday morning, about 3 feet below the level that causes minor flooding between the flood walls in Morgan City and Berwick.
The current prediction says the river could rise to 5.8 feet in the next 10-15 days, Wade said. The rise is due not to the Mississippi River, which is usually the case, but because of rising levels in the Red River after rain in Texas and Oklahoma.
—Heard that $4.53 million in operation and maintenance funding for the Atchafalaya was included in federal legislation passed last month.
Congress could decide how to divide another $580 million in supplemental funding, said Charles Brittingham, who represents the port’s interests in Washington. But Brittingham said it’s not clear when Congress will take up that issue.
—Heard Wade say Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Co. will begin dredging between Crewboat Cut and Eugene Island in February or March.
Great Lakes has a $16 million contract through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the work, which is expected to last into the summer.
—Heard that the Brice Civil Constructors dredge, specifically designed to deal with troublesome fluff mud, is still at work in the bar channel between Eugene Island and the sea buoy.
The dredge is subject to occasional mechanical problems, but Jon McVay of Brice said it is dredging about 5 million cubic yards of material per month.
—Heard from Treasurer Deborah Garber that the board has received its seasonal payment of about $980,000 in property taxes from 2020. Taxes were due to be paid by Dec. 31.
—Elected its slate of officers. Joseph Cain will remain the president, Garber will continue to serve as treasurer, and Tim Matthews Sr. will stay on as secretary until his replacement is appointed to the board. The board elected Pete Orlando to succeed Dragna as vice president.

Pet Talk: Planning ahead is critical before pet travel

Tue, 01/12/2021 - 8:29am

By Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences Staff

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION — Pet owners choosing to travel domestically while following the appropriate precautions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic may be apprehensive about leaving their animal companion at home. While carrying a pet cross-country may seem daunting, with proper planning, owners should be confident that they can get their furry friend where they need to go.
Dr. Christine Rutter, a clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says that pet owners need to notify their airline, lodging and veterinarian of their intention to travel with their pet as early as possible. Owners should also reach out to the appropriate authorities to ensure their pet has the proper documentation.
“Technically, any transport of an animal across state lines requires a USDA health certificate issued by a USDA certified veterinarian,” Rutter said. It is best to check the specific requirements of your destination to ensure that you are in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations when you arrive.
When obtaining the proper documentation from your veterinarian, owners should ensure that their pet is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm prevention, ectoparasite (such as fleas and ticks) prevention, has a registered microchip with current contact information and has a legible tag on their collar or harness. Tags should include a pet’s name, an emergency phone number and any pertinent medical information.
“If your pet receives daily medications, be sure you have enough to last through your trip and ask your veterinarian if it would be worth having a paper copy of prescriptions in case medications get lost,” Rutter said.
Owners of pets who rely on a medical device, such as a glucose monitor or pacemaker, should speak with their veterinarian about what resources are available near their destination. If your pet struggles with anxiety or motion sickness, ask your veterinarian how to best accommodate their needs during travel.
“Many of our pets don’t live terribly exciting lives when it comes to travel, so the hustle and bustle of travel can come as a real shock,” Rutter said. “Weeks before you travel, familiarize your pet with the crate or carrier that they will be traveling in. Hiding treats or feeding your pet in the carrier, providing a comfortable bed in the carrier, and going on short car drives in the carrier can help make the travel experience less scary.”
Rutter also recommends keeping your pet in a travel crate or carrier when they are unattended in a new environment. This keeps your pet out of mischief and ensures that your pet is in a safe and familiar place.
Owners can also help foster a familiar environment for their pet by using the same litter their cat uses at home when traveling, and by feeding them a consistent diet. Avoiding the introduction of new food and treats while traveling may also reduce the risk of digestive incidents.
Most importantly, Rutter recommends that pet owners anticipate the needs of their furry friend and prepare for emergencies. This includes carrying waste bags, water, time-sensitive medications and at least a small portion of your pet’s food. Owners should also be aware of airport pet relief areas, as applicable.
Owners may wish to research where local emergency veterinary centers are along their route or near their destination. They may also wish to purchase pet insurance for their animal and should keep their policy on-hand when traveling. If possible, include insurance information on your pet’s collar or harness tag.
Finally, Rutter reminds owners that their furry friend may behave differently when exposed to the stressors of travel. Be sure your pet wears a collar or harness with a tag at all times while traveling in case of escape attempts. Fearful pets may also bite, so give your pet ample time to acclimate to new environments before challenging them with meeting new people and other animals, and ensure that they are properly monitored.

Mom threatens divorce after teens find their dad’s stash

Tue, 01/12/2021 - 8:27am

By Jeanne Phillips, ©United Features Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are going on 19 years of marriage and have three teenage girls. We have had multiple rounds of marriage counseling, mostly with good results, although the benefits seem to be short-lived. Most of our problems have stemmed from my husband’s drinking or smoking pot. He’s not abusive, he’s a good provider, but he just likes to get high. Thank God it’s not often, but I’m not nor have I ever been OK with it.
Our girls recently found his pot stash and helped themselves. When I questioned them about where they got it, they admitted they found their dad’s stash. For me, this is the last straw. How can I teach my kids this is not OK when their dad’s actions say otherwise? I’m now made out to be the prude since apparently I’m “no fun.”
I’m a nurse, and even if it were legal in our state, I wouldn’t use it. I told my husband that I’m done and I’m ready for a divorce. He says I’m being ridiculous. Do I need to lighten up? I think I already know your answer, but I just need to see it to validate my feelings.
ANTI-DRUG WIFE AND MOM

DEAR ANTI-DRUG: Although marijuana may be legal in an increasing number of states, “supplying” drugs to minors is against the law in all of them. What happened cannot and should not be ignored, but ending a good marriage because your husband likes to use pot OCCASIONALLY seems extreme.
It may take more visits to a marriage and family therapist for you to agree to disagree on this, but it is very important that your daughters be disabused of the idea that what they did was OK with either of you. It’s time you and your husband form a united front, and he needs to find a better place to keep his stash.

DEAR ABBY: Because of the recent COVID-19 crisis, my wife and I, like so many others, have been stuck at home. I have asked her questions about former boyfriends and lovers. She told me some things, but when I bring it up now, she gets defensive and accuses me of belittling her and bringing back memories she has asked God to help her forget. I feel I am owed an explanation since they all took place while we were dating (including with my best friend) and with a house sitter after we were married. Am I wrong to bring it up after many years and a great marriage?
P.S. It’s eating at me, and her stonewalling by saying “I can’t remember” is frustrating, especially because all her friends talk about her great memory.
DEPRESSED IN TEXAS

DEAR DEPRESSED: Yes, you are wrong because this isn’t getting you anywhere positive. In fact, it’s the opposite. If you are looking for a divorce after “many years and a great marriage,” keep digging.
While your wife’s poor judgment and infidelity are deeply regrettable, the two of you managed to build a life together and move beyond it. Sometimes people forget what they need to forget in order to function. Accept it and use your quarantine time to do something more positive than playing “20 Questions.”

Basketball court dedicated to 'Coach Jimmie'

Mon, 01/11/2021 - 12:48pm

GEOFF STOUTE

A vision became a reality Saturday as a local basketball court that had been revitalized was dedicated in a longtime community leader’s honor.
Area city and community leaders gathered at the refurbished court at Fifth and Greenwood streets for a dedication ceremony in honor of the late James Oneal “Coach Jimmie” Johnson. Johnson was a trailblazer in the African American community and the city as he was instrumental in founding and contributing to various youth recreational programs, among other contributions.
He worked with St. Mary Parish sports programs for approximately 60 years and ran a free basketball clinic until 2019. He passed away in August of last year.
Courtney “Schola” Long and Danika Foley of the community organization Hoodstock had sought to complete a refurbishing project, and Long presented the idea of redoing the court to Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi in 2014.
“But we had to try to figure out how to make it happen,” Long said Saturday. “We knew it was going to be a big thing to take on, and we were going to have to figure out how to get the funding.”
While the plans didn’t materialize initially, Long said in hindsight, he thought the delay was for a reason.
“Because it would have just been a court with nobody’s name on it, and I think right now, we have an opportunity to honor a man who definitely deserves it,” he said.
The $70,000 project, of which the H&B Young Foundation contributed $15,000, includes new basketball goals, bleachers, fencing and a blue and beige court. A sketch of Johnson is at center court, encircled by its name: Jimmie Johnson Memorial Park.
“I think a lot of people thought we were talking about maybe painting some new lines and maybe putting a new net up, but nobody in their wildest imagination knew that we were going to drop $70,000 in this facility, which I believe is the most-used court in the city,” Grizzaffi said.
Johnson’s widow, Delores Johnson, was thankful for the project.
“I thank the city of Morgan City, those that donated, bought shirts and the one’s that loved my husband so much,” she said via KWBJ-TV 22. “I love y’all, because he was a great man and he will live on, and his free basketball clinic will live on.”
In addition to serving as a place for area youth to play basketball, the court will provide an opportunity to keep Johnson’s legacy alive as a plaque with his contributions will be installed at a later date at the park.
“So many people today, tomorrow should know about Mr. Jimmie, and once we get that plaque up, they will know about him,” Foley said.
The court dedication is the first phase of work on the project, Grizzaffi said.
Grizzaffi, whose last day in office was Monday, said that Mayor-elect Lee Dragna supports the facility and understands the goal is to potentially expand and enhance the area between Fourth and Fifth streets to “make it a true memorial park.”
