Staff Report
Berwick police on Monday arrested a Verdunville man who is accused of violating a protective order by entering a Guzzetta Drive home, damaging property, and then returning to the same apartment to threaten a woman while officers were preparing warrants for the first offense.

Berrys prepare 'A Labor of Love' — St. Joseph Altar

Tue, 03/24/2020 - 8:57am

First altar started in 2010 for son's safety

Editor’s Note: This is an article provided by Mary and Ronald Berry in reference to the St. Joseph Altar in their Morgan City home.
A Labor of Love
A Labor of Love is what is known when someone decides to have a St. Joseph Altar/Table. It is an offering of love, labor and sacrifice in honor of the Patron Saint of the Sicilians and the Universal Church.
My name is Mary Margaret Russo Berry and being of Italian heritage, I grew up attending St. Joseph Altars (we always referred to them as a St. Joseph Table). I always wanted to have one and in 2010, my husband, Ronald Berry, and I gave our first one in our home because our son was in the U. S. military and we prayed for his safety.
We were always taught that you never say that you are going to have an altar unless you fulfilled your promise. I knew back then, this is what I wanted and didn’t even tell my husband until a good while into making preparations with the help of our cousins. The reason why I didn’t share this with my husband, is because I knew he would want this too but I thought that he would pressure me in the journey and that would have put a lot of stress on me. Needless, to say that St. Joseph and the Holy Spirit guided us throughout and it was beautiful. It wasn’t until that morning, when the Altar was complete and we were getting ready to greet our family and friends to celebrate this beautiful Feast Day that Ronald said, “you still didn’t promise.” I then said, “OK, St. Joseph, I promise.”
In 2013, our son was indeed kept safe through God’s will and St. Joseph’s intercession during his time of serving our country that we had another Altar in thanksgiving for his safe return. It was even more beautiful than the first one.
In 2018, we had given another altar and this time we included the traditional spaghetti dinner.
In the previous years, we just had the sweets and goodies to share for all.
Well, this brings me to this year, March 2020. With the crisis at hand of this horrific coronavirus and the world canceling events, etc. and Masses, altars, etc., being suspended, I decided on Monday, March 16 and mentioned to Ronald, that I am going to the stores and anything I can get, we are going to have a St. Joseph Altar. I guess it was St. Joseph or the Holy Spirit talking to me or both.
On Tuesday, March 17, the excitement began and I was led every step of the way. Preparations for having a St. Joseph Altar will usually take weeks that is why I know that someone spiritually spoke to me because in four days, we had our Altar put together. Being we could not have a Priest Bless our Altar, Ronald being head of household blessed our 2020 St. Joseph Altar.
In the previous years, we had separate altars built by Ronald and our cousin but as you can see in the attached picture, something as simple as a kitchen table can become a very special tool and make a wonderful memory. This is our fourth St. Joseph Altar and each one was unique in its own special way.
There is always much levity and joyful exchange of camaraderie at visiting a St. Joseph Altar but, unfortunately, we couldn’t share physically with everyone this year; however, please know that you all are in our prayers.
We love St. Joseph and pray for his intercession. Our prayer intentions in making this altar are for an end to this coronavirus ASAP, for restrictions to be lifted and we can return to Mass especially during Holy Week and Easter 2020, recovery of those affected by it, and protection of our love ones, spiritually, physically and emotionally, and any and all of our other intentions.
We pray, Dear Lord, hear our prayers and St. Joseph, please intercede and pray for us. AMEN!!!
May St. Joseph touch your hearts as he has ours. If you haven’t heard or don’t know the history of a St. Joseph Altar. Please “Google” it and you will be glad you did. It is very interesting and even in my 65 years, I am still learning new things about my faith.
God Bless,
Mary Margaret and Ronald Berry

Couple’s views on issue diverge, threaten future

Tue, 03/24/2020 - 8:31am

By Jeanne Phillips, ©United Features Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: After an abusive relationship ended 14 years ago, I stayed single and raised my small son to adulthood. I dated here and there, but never found anyone I had serious feelings for who also felt the same way about me until seven months ago.
My feelings for my boyfriend are strong, and it’s mutual. He is giving, kind, caring, hardworking and protective. We are very much in love. He tells me he feels like he can be himself around me, something he has never had before. I’ve never had anyone care so much about my well-being.
We talk about everything and differ on only one point so far. I’m in education and an LGBTQ ally. He feels strongly that nature dictates that only a man and a woman belong together, and he says he hates gay people. (We both grew up in very small, conservative communities.)
Now that my son is older, I plan to use my experiences to be a stronger voice on education issues regarding tolerance and improving learning outcomes for all by instilling conflict resolution principles in my educational practices. I’m not changing my view on this, but I want to continue for us to love and support each other.
Should I tell my boyfriend I understand where he’s coming from based upon where and how we were raised? Do you think down the road our basic principles will drive us apart? We have been talking about buying a house in the country together, although neither of us has intentions of marriage anytime soon.
HESITATING IN ILLINOIS

DEAR HESITATING: You should absolutely talk to your boyfriend about your plan to become an outspoken LGBTQ ally and more active in your profession. When you become more visible, do you plan to separate your career and your personal life? It appears you are willing (and able) to respect him, and understand why he feels the way he does. But is he willing to do the same for you, and will his conservative convictions negatively affect how you plan to live your life?
It is VERY important that this issue be resolved BEFORE investing in real estate with him — as well as any more precious time. A professional mediator may be able to help with the conversation if you can’t do this by yourselves.

DEAR ABBY: My two grandchildren, 12 and 16, used to spend a lot of time with my husband and me, staying overnight, going on trips, etc. As they have gotten older, I recognize that they will naturally want to spend less time with us old folks.
My problem is, when I send them texts to invite them for lunch or out somewhere for the day, they don’t respond or just respond with an IDK (I don’t know). My question: Should I ask again to get an answer before the scheduled lunch or trip, or should I just forget it and assume they don’t want to be involved with us?
SAD MEMAW IN FLORIDA

DEAR SAD: You have asked an intelligent question, but you are asking the wrong person. The people you should be asking are your grandchildren, and when you do, it should be face-to-face.

La. COVID-19 cases pass 1,100

Mon, 03/23/2020 - 12:12pm

Still one positive in St. Mary; numbers rise in Lafourche, Terrebonne

A total of 1,172 Louisiana people have tested positive for COVID-19 as of noon Monday, up more than 300 from Sunday, according to the Louisiana Office of Public Health.

The state's COVID-19 death toll is now 34, up 14 from the previous report at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

St. Mary still has only the confirmed positive reported Saturday night. Assumption also still has a single case. St. Martin has none.

The numbers in other area parishes continue to grow: three in Iberia, 14 in Terrebonne and 15 in Lafourche.

Positive tests have been confirmed in 41 of Louisiana's 64 parishes.

Nearly 6,000 Louisiana people have been tested.

Gov. John Bel Edwards announced a discussion of COVID-19 by public health experts and members of the administration. It will air at 7 p.m. Monday on LPB and may be livestreamed at www.gov.Louisiana.gov

UPDATE: St. Mary child feeding program starts, then stops

Mon, 03/23/2020 - 11:58am

St. Mary public schools have suspended the emergency feeding program after a single day Monday to comply with Gov. John Bel Edwards' stay-at-home order, which was to take effect at 5 p.m. Monday.

"The district initiated the emergency feeding program on Monday and served a total of 741 meals at four school sites," Superintendent Teresa Bagwell said in a press release. "While the school system is
fully committed to parish students, the safety of staff and employees must also be considered given the governor’s order."

The district had plans to offer 1,200 "grab 'n' go" breakfast and lunch packages, delivered at the curb, to St. Mary young people 18 and under 10:30 a.m.-noon weekdays through April 9, the last day classes would be called off under the current state order.

The meals were to be distributed at the junior highs in Morgan City, Patterson and Franklin and at Raintree Elementary in Baldwin.

"Meal distribution on Monday exceeded totals for the summer feeding program and was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the district’s Child Nutrition Department, principals, and district staff," Bagwell said. "The ability of the school system to secure protective gear also played a role in the decision to suspend the program at this time."

Amid new restrictions, life goes on

The world as we know it has been put on tilt since COVID-19 has invaded. The global pandemic has caused businesses to shut doors and some U.S. states to shelter at home.
With the arrival of the virus in Louisiana came instructions by Gov. John Bel Edwards to stay at home, with exceptions for trips to buy food or medication or to go to work in jobs deemed essential.
But that doesn’t stop Louisianans from living their lives and doing the best with what is offered.
Although restaurants across the state have had to go from sit-down meals to take out and delivery only, some area businesses has benefitted from always being a to-go entity.
D&B Seafood on La. 70 in Morgan City is one such business that has experienced an increase in traffic.
“Our business is busier,” said owner Sydney “P-Nut” Michel.
D&B sells boiled in-season seafood Tuesdays through Saturdays along with live seafood. With restaurants not being able to serve seafood as easily, Michel’s business has flourished.
The extra live crawfish on the market also means better prices for that at-home crawfish boil. D&B sells live crawfish for $2.25 a pound as of Saturday and opens on Sunday just to sell the live crustaceans.
Finding ways not to go stir crazy, people have also been utilizing the best of what South Louisiana has to offer — the great outdoors.
Ricky and Brenda Parr of Brusly decided a weekend stay-cation was in order. They made reservations at Lake End Park in Morgan City with family and friends.
Brenda Parr was on a much needed break from her job as a registered nurse at Baton Rouge General.
“It is my weekend to forget about it (the coronavirus),” she said. As of Saturday she noted that the hospital had three patients with confirmed COVID-19 with 17 suspected cases in her area.
Rickey Parr is also continuing to work at Louisiana CSI, a duct supply and manufacturing company.
With four bass in their boat, they were ready for fish “with ‘tater’ salad,” Brenda Parr laughed.

Businesses get more time to pay unemployment taxes

Mon, 03/23/2020 - 10:20am

By DAVID JACOBS, The Center Square

The Louisiana Workforce Commission is giving employers extra time to pay their unemployment taxes for the first quarter of the year.
Employers still are required to file their first quarter 2020 wage and tax reports with the agency by April 30, but payment of the associated taxes can be deferred without penalties or interest until June 30.
“Our goal in deferring payment of quarterly unemployment taxes is to do what we can to help these businesses through this difficult time,” Louisiana Workforce Commission Secretary Ava Dejoie said.
Employers pay taxes into the state’s Unemployment Trust Fund, which in turn pays unemployment benefits to qualified individuals. Generally, employers with more claims against their accounts pay higher tax rates than those with fewer claims, but Dejoie says COVID-19-related claims will not affect employers’ rates.
Louisiana employers can begin filing their quarterly wage and tax reports online April 1.
According to numbers made public Friday, 2,255 initial unemployment insurance claims were filed for the week ending March 14, up from the previous week’s total of 1,698.
But as state government mandates temporary closures and restrictions for many businesses in hopes of slowing the spread of the coronavirus, and as the economy as a whole slows to a crawl, unemployment claims are skyrocketing. As of mid-day Thursday, the Louisiana Workforce Commission had received 30,000 new requests for unemployment benefits this week, Dejoie said.
As of Wednesday, Louisiana’s Trust Fund balance was $1.05 billion, the LWC says. Dejoie says the fund is the 17th-strongest in the nation and says she is not concerned the fund might prove insufficient for the demand.
Louisiana meets the standard for a “reasonably well-funded” trust fund, Jared Walczak, Director of State Tax Policy at the Washington D.C.-based Tax Foundation, said via social media. But he added that “just about anything states have” may be inadequate without significant federal help.

November 22, 1939 — March 15, 2020
On the Ides of March, March 15, 2020, just after midnight, Carriel Anne McIntyre Nelson lost her brief but fierce battle with cancer.
Carriel was born November 22, 1939, in Minden, Louisiana, the daughter of William C. McIntyre and Edna Matthews McIntyre.
Carriel was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and nana. She was an artist, builder, advocate, patriot and scholar. Carriel could fix most things. Sweetie by name and nature, she loved greatly and was also loved by many.
She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by three sons, Joseph M. Nelson and wife Angie of Berwick, John T. Nelson and wife Sonjia of Bush, Louisiana, and Robert W. Nelson and wife Erin of Ranson, West Virginia; two sisters, Willie Edna Brewer of Evergreen, Louisiana, and Judy Lacinak and husband Bill of Shreveport, Louisiana; and two grandchildren, Collin J. Nelson and Morgan A. Nelson.
Carriel was preceded in death by her parents, William and Edna McIntyre; husband, Joseph F. Nelson Jr.; brother, Robbie William; and brother-in-law, Kenneth Brewer.
Due to the recent health concerns and the restrictions on limited gatherings, the memorial services and sprinkling of ashes will be held by the family at a later date.
Friends are encouraged to view and leave a memory of Carriel for the family on the website at www.twincityfh.com. The family thanks everyone for their understanding during this difficult time.
