Patterson mayor named to La. municipal retirement board

Sat, 05/28/2022 - 9:21am

According to the MERS website, the system was created in 1955 to provide retirement benefits for the employees of the municipalities of the state. Management of the system was entrusted to a Board of Trustees.

The board consists of 11 members: six members elected by the members of the system, the president of the Louisiana Municipal Association, the chairman of the Senate Retirement Committee, a member of the House Retirement Committee appointed by the speaker of the House, the treasurer and the commissioner of administration.

.Grogan also serves as a district vice president for the Louisiana Municipal Association.

New principals named at three high schools, two middle schools

Fri, 05/27/2022 - 5:46pm

St. Mary Parish Schools have announced new administrative appointments, including the naming of principals at three high schools and two middle schools.

The appointments announced Friday by Superintendent Dr. Teresa Bagwell:

--Dawn Chaisson has been named supervisor of child nutrition. Chaisson, currently principal at Foster Elementary, will succeed Claire Guarisco.

Chaisson brings years of experience as an administrator to her new role, including nine years as principal of Foster and six years as assistant principal of Patterson Junior High.

--Kristin Percle, currently principal of Berwick Junior High, has been named instructional supervisor assigned to high schools. She succeeds Dr. Rachael Sanders, recently named to be assistant superintendent

Percle previously held the position of assistant principal of Berwick High School.

--Jared Ross has been named principal at Centerville High School. He succeeds Kristina Estay, recently appointed to be the district's human resources director.

Ross has spent the last seven years serving as the school’s assistant principal "and will easily transition into the role given his experience working with students and faculty at Centerville High School," Bagwell said.

--Courtney Andrews will be the new Patterson High School principal. Andrews previously served as the school’s assistant principal and curriculum leader.

Andrews also held the job of assistant principal at Patterson Junior High School for two years before returning to Patterson High School, where
she began her career as a social studies teacher.

--At West St. Mary High School, Ashley Clark will be the principal. Clark has held the assistant principal position for the last four years and most recently served in an acting principal capacity following the departure of Donald Sanders.

She is also a former teacher and coach at the school, "which will support the transition into a principal role given her knowledge of the school’s overall operations," Bagwell said.

--Berwick Junior High's new principal will be Ryan Taylor. He succeeds Percle, who was selected as an instructional supervisor.

Currently, Taylor is the school’s assistant principal and "has gained experience and expertise of the school throughout the last few years," Bagwell said.

He formerly served as a teacher and coach at Patterson and Morgan City high schools before moving into administration at Berwick Junior High.

--Crystal Daigle will be Morgan City Junior High's new principal, moving up from her role as assistant principal.

"Ms. Daigle has vast experiences in the education arena having worked with post-secondary education students at Young Memorial and more recently as an elementary and middle school teacher with St. Mary Parish Schools," Bagwell said.

Daigle was also part of the district’s instructional division, holding the position of instructional specialist just prior to accepting the assistant principalship at Morgan City Junior High this school year.

Applications for the various leadership positions were accepted, and recently interviews were conducted "in an effort to thoroughly weigh the
qualifications of each candidate given the position’s job requirements," Bagwell said.

"As the summer progresses, additional administrative changes will be announced including the appointment of assistant principals to fill the void left by this most recent round of principal selections. Due to the intense training and coordination of leadership adjustments, the school system intends to have all necessary appointments made in the coming weeks."

St. Mary COVID cases trend upward, but with milder symptoms

Fri, 05/27/2022 - 5:10pm

Staff Report

As the nation copes with new COVID-19 variants, St. Mary Parish has seen an increase in the number of new infections in recent weeks.

But the daily number of new cases falls far short of the statistics posted during pandemic surges. St. Mary Coroner Eric Melancon said the cases he sees in his medical practice are surprisingly mild.

Melancon said he sees no reason for people to change their behavior as summer approaches. He believes the pandemic may have entered a phase in which it poses a threat similar to influenza, but year-round.

On Friday, the last reporting day before the holiday weekend, the Louisiana Office of Public Health reported that the pandemic case count for St. Mary stands at 12,636, a number equal to about a quarter of the parish's population.

Ninety new St. Mary cases have been recorded since May 17, a number that doesn't reflect the results of widely available home tests.

During the worst part of the pandemic in St. Mary, the summer 2021 delta surge, the parish was reporting 100 cases or more each day.

"For the last couple of weeks we've seen an uptick in cases," Melancon said Friday. "The surprise has been that they're not that serious. ...

"I think we've come to the point where it's more like the flu, but not seasonal."

One St. Mary COVID death has been reported since March 10, raising the death toll to 263 since the first COVID fatality was reported in April 2020. Melancon said he has not been notified about the most recent COVID death.

The St. Mary vaccination rate is just short of 45%, according to the OPH.

Statewide, Louisiana is seeing an increase in daily new cases, especially in the extreme eastern portion of the state.

On Friday, the OPH reported 1,279 new cases, on a par with numbers reported for the last 10 days. A month ago, the state was often reporting fewer than 300 new cases per day.

The OPH rates Orleans and Plaquemines parishes as "high" for community COVID levels. Classified as "medium" are Iberville, St. James, St. Charles, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, St. John the Baptist and Jefferson. The rest of the state is rated as "low."

Hospitalizations are up to 197 from 96 May 17, still far below the peak levels during COVID surges. The number of COVID patients on ventilators was at 11, up from five May 17.

Man arrested in Bayou L'Ourse home invasion; five booked on drug, gun charges after Amelia-area stop

Fri, 05/27/2022 - 4:03pm

Staff Report

(Editor’s note: The charges listed here and the narratives that go with them are provided by the police agencies that made the arrests. Guilt or innocence has not been determined in court.)

Assumption Parish deputies on Thursday arrested a Bayou L’Ourse man accused of kicking his way into three Felicia Street homes, at least one of which was occupied.

In an unrelated case, five people were arrested on gun and drug charges after a traffic stop by an Assumption deputy near Amelia.

Assumption
Sheriff Leland Falcon reported these arrests:

—Cyrus Ratcliff Jr., 48, Pond Drive, Bayou L’Ourse, was arrested Thursday on two counts of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, three counts of simple criminal damage to property, three counts of criminal trespass and a single count of home invasion.

Deputies were dispatched Thursday to a Felicia Street address in Bayou L’Ourse about a disturbance. Deputies made contact with the complainant, who advised Ratcliff had kicked in a door to the residence.

Deputies learned that Ratcliff had kicked in doors to a total of three homes on Felicia Street, and at least one of those houses was occupied at the time of the offense.

While deputies investigated, Ratcliff drove up to the location.

Ratcliff was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing

—Lantrell J. Ayers, 31, Fifth Street, Morgan City, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, obstruction of justice, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to distribute Xanax, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, no driver’s license, and tail lamps and headlights required, and two fugitive counts.

—Jasmine J. Ayers, 32, Bailey’s Lane, Morgan City, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, possession with intent to distribute Xanax and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

—Dylan Michael Hebert, 21, La. 75. Morgan City, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, possession with intent to distribute Xanax and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

— Kelsie Alynn Landry, 18. Aucoin Street, Morgan City, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, possession with intent to distribute Xanax and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

—Shayna Renee Tatum, 27, Aucoin Street, Morgan City, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a legend drug without a prescription, possession with intent to distribute Xanax and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

A uniformed patrol officer observed a vehicle traveling on U.S. 90 near Amelia commit a traffic violation and initiated a stop of that vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver, now identified as Lantrell Ayers.

The deputy engaged in an interview. During that interview, the deputy noted activities of the driver and passengers to be consistent with illegal activity.

While interviewing the driver, the deputy was notified by communications of outstanding warrants for the arrest of Ayers in Assumption Parish and Elayne Hunt Correctional Ayers was immediately arrested.

The deputy noted an odor of suspected marijuana from the vehicle and observed a passenger attempting to shove an item into the seat. At this time, all
suspects were removed from the vehicle.

The deputy requested and was granted consent to search the vehicle. As a result of that process, deputies located firearm ammunition, marijuana, Promethazine D.M. and assorted drug paraphernalia.

Deputies conducted a walk-around of the vehicle and located other dangerous substances, which had been discarded by the suspects.

Deputies also located a large-caliber handgun in the vehicle.

At the conclusion of the investigation, deputies arrested all five suspects. They remain at the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending bond proceedings.

St. Mary Parish unemployment rate dips below 5%

Fri, 05/27/2022 - 11:44am

As Louisiana's April unemployment rate reached the lowest level ever, St. Mary joblessness dipped below 5% even though overall employment was also down.

The Louisiana Workforce Development Commission reported Friday that St. Mary's unemployment rate was 4.7% in April, down from 5.0% in March and from 7.4% in April 2021.

Friday's report says 18,348 people were employed here in April, which was two fewer than in March but 643 more than in April a year ago.

The number of unemployed people -- those who lack jobs and are actively seeking work -- was 896 in April, down 63 from a month earlier. In April 2021, 1,410 St. Mary people were unemployed.

Even with the improving unemployment rate, St. Mary is a different employment landscape than it was before energy prices began a long slide in autumn 2014.

Employment in the parish peaked at more than 27,000 that year before being hit by the oil price slump and the COVID pandemic.

More recently, with a growing national economy, rising energy prices, spending by people affected by Hurricane Ida, and hundreds of millions in federal spending including COVID aid, some St. Mary governments have been seeing higher than expected sales tax receipts.

Elsewhere in the region, Assumption saw a one-month drop in the unemployment rate to 5.0% from 5.4%. St. Martin's unemployment rate fell to 3.5% from 3.7%; Terrebonne's rate dropped to 3.7% from 4.1%; and Lafourche joblessness slipped to 2.8% from 3.2%.

Statewide, the commission reported an April 2022 unemployment rate -- not seasonably adjusted -- of 3.5%, the lowest ever rate in statistics dating to 1976.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.1% is among the lowest three monthly rates recorded.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for April 2022 has declined over the year for 14 consecutive months after peaking in April 2020. Louisiana’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined 0.1 percentage points from March 2022 and shows a 2.0 percentage point decline from April of last year. The labor force participation rate, which measures people ages 16-64 working or looking for work, continues to increase and is currently 58.9%, growing 0.3 percentage points from March 2022 and gaining 3.4 percentage points from April 2020.

Louisiana has also gained 200,600 jobs in seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment since April 2020 and has gained over-the-year for 13 consecutive months. The state’s seasonally adjusted total nonfarm employment for April 2022 is 1,910,100 jobs, a gain of 3,600 jobs from the revised March 2022 estimate of 1,906,500 jobs. When compared to April 2021, seasonally adjusted total nonfarm employment increased by 45,500 jobs.

Major industries that showed the largest gains for seasonally adjusted jobs over the month:

--Leisure and Hospitality gained 2,500 jobs from March 2022.

--Education and Health Services gained 1,800 jobs from March 2022.

--Other Services gained 1,500 jobs from March 2022.

Major industries that showed the largest gains for seasonally adjusted jobs over the year:

-- Leisure and Hospitality gained 16,600 jobs from April 2021.

--Professional and Business Services gained 10,100 jobs from April 2021.

--Construction gained 6,900 jobs from April 2021.

PSC may require utilities to pay bigger share of hurricane costs

Fri, 05/27/2022 - 10:23am

The Louisiana Public Service Commission is drafting an order to require Entergy and other investor-owned utilities to pay 20% of storm repairs, instead of putting the entire bill on ratepayers.

PSC Commissioner Foster Campbell asked the commission’s staff to draft the order after confronting Entergy CEO Leo Denault about increasing profits, $1.2 billion in dividends paid to the company’s shareholders last year, Denault’s recent $1 million pay raise and his family vacation to Vail, Colorado during Hurricane Ida as customers struggled without power.

Commissioners asked Denault during his first appearance before the PSC since becoming CEO in 2013 whether Entergy would voluntarily help cover some of roughly $5 billion in storm damages, instead of passing the entire cost on to the company’s 1.1 million customers.

Those customers are expected to pay roughly $16 more per month for 15 years to recover the costs, as required by state law, but commissioners highlighted the company's questionable spending in a bid to lower that burden. Entergy has received more than $3 billion through bond sales to recover repair costs, and the company is in line to receive another $2 billion, but Campbell suggested it should be less.

"It really troubles me that y’all don’t have any skin in the game, but I have a solution," Campbell said. "I want 20% to go to the ratepayers. That’s a small portion" of the $2 billion.

"I think ya’ll ought to put back in $400 million back toward the ratepayers," he said, noting the high rate of poverty in Louisiana. "Would you agree to that?"

"No, I would not," Denault said. "I think we need to go through the process and see where we come out. … We need to make sure that the company continues to have the financial flexibility to have the confidence of the capital markets to be able to respond during those events."

Denault highlighted the company’s investments in improving efficiency, a shift toward more renewable energy, Entergy’s charitable contributions and advocacy in Congress to help secure relief for customers.

He also discussed Entergy’s efforts to brace against future storm damage as ways the company is working to keep costs lower for customers.

Commissioner Craig Greene told Denault "we want to see you value your customer as much as we represent them" and suggested "we need to do better."

"Our objective is to create an environment where the customers are getting the outcomes they desire and we want to make sure we manage our business to match," Denault said. "It will improve the service levels … and in addition to that we think that it is really going to help drive the economic development of the state."

New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno also weighed in on the revelations to The Advocate about Denault’s $17 million annual compensation, raise, trip to Vail and the company’s growing profits at a time when ratepayers are struggling.

"The fact that the head of the main corporation during one of the biggest storms to ever hit his territory went off to Vail a couple days before and stayed there through the storm and its aftermath and wasn’t there with his team, I thought was very surprising and concerning, as well," she said. "I think the customers would be concerned about this."

Moreno, who oversees utilities in the city, one of the few places outside the PSC’s authority, also signaled support for Campbell’s proposal to claw back 20% of Entergy’s next storm repayment for ratepayers, according to the news site.

"It may not be able to stand up to legal muster," Moreno said, "but maybe it brings Entergy to the table to at least be able to come up with additional options rather than just say to the ratepayers, you pay for it all."
