Morgan City’s Conrad Shipyard LLC and Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., another leading shipbuilder, have agreed to work together in LNG bunkering.
Conrad announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding that “formalizes a collaborative framework to jointly explore opportunities in the rapidly expanding U.S. LNG bunkering market,” according to a press release.
Bunkering in the process for transferring liquefied natural gas to a ship for use as fuel. Bunkering helps ships lower their carbon emissions.
The Sea-LNG website reports that only six LNG bunkering vessels existed in 2019. By the middle of this year, there were 62 with orders for 30 more.
Under the memorandum, Conrad and SHI will work together to evaluate and pursue technical, commercial and market-based initiatives that support the design, construction and deployment of LNG bunkering vessels tailored for U.S. regulatory and operational requirements.
The memorandum is intended to combine SHI’s global expertise in advanced LNG technologies with Conrad’s proven LNG shipbuilding capabilities and domestic market access, Conrad said in a news release.
“We are honored to collaborate with Samsung Heavy Industries,” said Johnny Conrad, executive chairman, Conrad Shipyard. “This MOU reﬂects Conrad’s focus on driving innovation in the U.S. maritime sector and positions both organizations to develop advanced LNG bunkering vessels tailored to meet market demand.”
Conrad’s extensive experience navigating regulatory requirements associated with LNG bunkering vessel design, engineering and construction combined with SHI’s state-of-the-art LNG technology will greatly enhance the U.S. LNG market, Conrad said.
Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., headquartered in South Korea, is one of the world’s foremost shipbuilders, known for its advanced engineering capabilities in LNG carriers, offshore structures, digitalship solutions, and high-efficiency vessel technologies, the press release said.
Conrad Shipyard, established in 1948 and headquartered in Morgan City, designs, builds and overhauls a wide variety of steel marine vessels, including barges, dredges, and dredge support equipment, tugboats, ferries, drydocks, lift boats, offshore supply vessels and other steel products for commercial and government customers.

Patterson moves to secure grant for water plant

Thu, 12/04/2025 - 9:50am

HOWARD J. CASTAY, Review correspondent

PATTERSON — City leaders are crossing their fingers that a revised application, coupled with a resolution they passed Tuesday, will seal the deal on added improvements to its water plant.
The Council unanimously passed the resolution for submission to the state for the purpose of placing the water system on the approval list of funding through the state Water Sector Program, the purpose of which is to provide grants for repairs and improvements to community water and sewer systems.
Initially, the program was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act and later supplemented with state funds. It is open to entities that own and operate water and/or sewer systems in parishes across the state, according to the statute creating the state fund.
Mayor Rodney Grogan said money is there waiting for Patterson, thanks to the efforts of former state Sen. Bret Allain, R-Adeline, State Rep. Sam Jones, D-Franklin, who tagged-teamed efforts for the money before they left office, and State Rep. Vinny St. Blanc, R-Franklin.
City Councilman Lee Condolle said he made the motion on the resolution “hoping it will seal the deal” on the application process which actually began three years ago.
Grogan said shifts in state personnel and an unfamiliarity with Patterson’s request, along with having to make modifications of their own to the application, caused the city to miss out.
The city of Patterson operates its own water treatment and distribution system.
In 2018, Patterson constructed a new water plant since the existing plant was having difficulty meeting state Department of Health and Hospitals regulations. Louisiana DHH stated that the system needed an additional clarifier.
In the application submitted to the state, the proposed improvements will involve adding a new clarifier to have a parallel to the one it presently has, and a back-up system.
In December 2022, a Daily Review article reported that Patterson had applied for $4 million from the Louisiana Water Sector Program, funded by the federal ARPA, for water plant improvements but missed receiving the grant by seven points. At that time, Grogan expressed frustration with the competitive nature of the state’s point system, which favored systems that consolidated with others, an option not available to Patterson.
“New personnel, new rules, and new federal changes were all challenges we had to deal with,” Grogan said.
The resolution passed Tuesday is also asking that the state waive the 25% matching funds in order to save city costs. “The money is already guaranteed for these plans,” the mayor insisted.
In another matter, the mayor announced the city will begin changing out all water meters on the city’s south side, thanks to a $600,000 grant.
The city heard a report from Wards 5 and 8 Joint Sewage Commission Chairman Michael Stewart.
The commission is an intergovernmental entity, which was created 41 years ago by the St. Mary Parish Council, the city of Patterson and the town of Berwick.
Its mission is to provide sewer services and to operate a regional sewage treatment facility which collects sewage from Calumet to Berwick.
Stewart reported that the commission will end its 2025 fiscal year with a $600,000 deficit.
Surprised, Grogan questioned what happened to a proposed $500,000 allocation from the parish. “I thought President Sam Jones found this money for the commission,” the mayor said.
Stewart answered, “I’m not sure. I believe Councilman David Hill blocked it somehow.”
Many of the Patterson councilmen asked why Hill blocked the money, since the commission operates within his district.
Grogan expressed frustration. “See, this is what I don’t understand. The commission imposes a rate fee on the backs of its consumers in the municipalities, but yet when the parish has to face financing, they back down.”
Additionally, the mayor noted that funds from the rate increase will flow to the commission at a slow but steady pace, which still isn’t enough to grapple with such a large deficit.
“You guys should see at least $30,000 a month from Patterson and Berwick, maybe another $30,000 from the parish. Still, that’s only $90,000 a month. How is that going to help?” Grogan asked.
Stewart replied, “We’re going to have to trim expenses as tight as we can.”
“Well don’t give up,” the mayor replied.
Contacted after the meeting, Hill verified that the council removed the funding from the 2026 budget, understanding that if the dollars were needed, he could make a supplemental recommendation later during the year.
“I could not understand how the parish is strapped for funds, but yet the parish president was able to find $500,000,” Hill said.
“I needed around $15,000 for my recreation district and the Town of Baldwin needed $5,000 for its police department. I didn’t think this allocation was a need at the moment.
“Secondly, if we, the parish, is going to allocate $500,000, then the city of Patterson and the town of Berwick should so as well. Our consumers are also paying for the rate increase, so we’re all facing the challenges,” Hill said.
“I’m not against allocating the money. But perhaps there is also grant money out there that the commission can apply for,” he said.
In September, the commission sent letters to the parish municipalities announcing a rate hike for the entity beginning Oct. 1, stating they needed the money or else they would go broke.
The rate increase is an additional $1.50 per 1,000 gallons of waste water sewage the commission receives from consumers who live from Calumet to Berwick.

This story has been edited to correct the amount the Baldwin Police Department sought from the Parish Council.

Deadline approaches for Medicare options

Thu, 12/04/2025 - 9:45am

HOWARD J. CASTAY, Review correspondent

An opportunity to customize Medicare benefits for 2026 ends Sunday, Dec. 7, and if you miss the deadline, you will likely have to wait a full year before you can make a change to your plan.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, has been on a national media campaign spreading the news, explaining that it might be in your best interest to visit medicare.gov now, before the open enrollment deadline, if you’re 65 years or older, to be eligible.
On Fox news, Oz said there are many companies touting themselves with the best plan.
“Compare. Use our website for information. Chat with a real life operator on our site, who will be concerned with your needs,” he said.
“So many changes to some of those services when it comes to Medicare. What’s on the horizon? What comes? Recommendation ideas on medication and their pricing.
“It’s a vibrant, healthy program offering all kinds of life-changing services. It’s hard to give it to you and one of the ways you should take ownership of it is to sign up on medicare.gov, if you haven’t already,” Oz said.
Meanwhile, a nationwide helpmate comprised of caregiving advocates is hoping Medicare Advantage plans don’t disappear in Louisiana.
Medicare Advantage Majority, a 501 (c) 4 organization, is dedicated to strengthening the Medicare Advantage program for 34 million American seniors and people with disabilities who depend on it, according to its website, medicareadvantagemajority.org/
Examples of Medicare Advantage Plans include HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) and PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations).
HMOs offer lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs, but require you to use doctors and hospitals within the plans network, unless it’s an emergency.
PPOs offer more flexibility, allowing you to see specialists without a referral and to go out-of-network for care, although it may cost more, according to an AI overview.
Darren Grubb, a spokesman for Medicare Advantage Majority, believes the safety and reliability of this program is important, as its crucial for seniors who have paid into Medicare while they were employed.
“Medicare and Medicare Advantage is the program one looks forward to at the age of 65 or older, to help them in their retirement,” he said.
He explained Medicare expectations as the culmination of having paid into a system your entire career through every paycheck, with the hope of accruing health benefits from the money you have put into the program.
Grubb said there are more than 540,000 seniors in Louisiana enrolled in a Medicare program, and of that amount, 56% choose a Medicare Advantage program.
He said seniors choose a Medicare Advantage plan because of cost savings. They get services that go deeper than just Medicare Part A or B plans. Medicare Advantage offers vision and dental screenings, as well as help with transportation and other out-of-pocket costs. He explained this is especially important to seniors who have multiple chronic conditions.
“It’s also important because a Medicare Advantage Plan can help reduce their out-of-pocket costs in premiums and co-pays for the seniors and those who assist with their care.”

Newly passed state statute protects officials from doxxing

Thu, 12/04/2025 - 9:31am

CHRIS DICKERSON, The Center Square

Louisiana officials soon will be able to sue citizens, businesses and government entities for posting their biographical information online.
A new law signed earlier this year by Gov. Jeff Landry would allow such lawsuits if online posts including an official’s personal identifying information aren’t taken down upon request from the official.
The law takes effect next year.
The violators also would face criminal penalties, including up to 90 days in prison as well as a $1,000 fine per instance.
Other states have similar laws, but Louisiana’s appears to be more sweeping than most others by giving such powers to more elected officials and allowing more reasons for them to take action.
Active and retired judges in Louisiana, as well as family members who live with them, already can file lawsuits and criminal chargers over such postings.
But the new law will expand that to include current statewide elected officials, state legislators and public service commissioners, current or retired district attorneys, current or retired assistant district attorneys, and current or retired district attorney investigators.
Spouses, children and other dependents who live with these officials also will be covered.
Information that will be applicable includes home addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, marital records, birth dates, schools and daycares of children, places of worship and employment locations of others in the households.
Government entities will have 15 days to remove such information when requested or provide a reason why they can’t. Individuals and businesses will have 72 hours to do so.
The law applies to nearly anything posted online, including news stories, campaign contributor databases, private websites and social media.
Earlier this year, an attorney called the new law “wildly unconstitutional.”
“Effectively, the Louisiana Legislature has decided to criminalize the publication of a church birthday calendar, the mortgage documents required by federal law, birth announcements, engagement party RSVP websites and traffic tickets,” Scott Sternberg wrote on behalf of the Louisiana Press Association.
“This law will undoubtedly lead to more litigation, higher costs for public and private entities, and a chilling effect on speech.”

Active hurricane season fails to materialize

Thu, 12/04/2025 - 9:29am

ALLEN WOOTEN, The Center Square

Nothing like Helene, and nothing like three hurricanes making landfall in 66 days.
Sunday’s end to the hurricane season for the Atlantic Basin was welcomed from the Gulf states to the Atlantic seaboard, with gratitude not a single one made landfall in the United States.
In St. Mary Parish, Morgan City continues to feel the effects of September 2024's Francine, which flooded hundreds of homes.
A year ago, Hurricane Helene was among the three in just over two months that arrived in Florida, and its destruction was most heavily felt in North Carolina with 108 deaths and an estimated $60 billion to $80 billion in damages.
This is the 62nd week of recovery from Helene.
“That was a much-needed break,” said Dr, Neil Jacobs, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration administrator. “Still, a tropical storm caused damage and casualties in the Carolinas, distant hurricanes created rough ocean waters that caused property damage along the East Coast, and neighboring countries experienced direct hits from hurricanes.”
This is the eighth year this century with no hurricane landfalls in the Atlantic season. The previous years were 2000, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2015.
Thirteen storms reached a level to be named, five escalated to Category 1 (sustained winds of 74 mph or greater) and four of those eclipsed Category 3 (sustained winds 111 mph or greater).
Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda on Sept. 30 drew as close as 450 to 600 miles apart in the Atlantic Ocean, churning up the surf along much of the East Coast and drawing a warning for storm surge between Florida and South Carolina. Imelda ultimately was drawn toward and followed Humberto out to sea, enabling the Carolinas to avert catastrophe.
Erin, however, was a different story. Once a Category 5 (sustained winds 157 mph or greater) in the ocean, the storm temporarily shuttered four ferries in North Carolina and closed the 148-mile famed N.C. 12.
Tropical Storm Barry in June was the closest threat to Gulf Coast states. Imelda was the closest threat to Florida.
In Florida in 2024, Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Steinhatchee on Aug. 5, Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in Dekle Beach on Sept. 26, and Milton made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane near Siesta Key on Oct. 9.
The 2024 season had 18 named storms, 11 reaching at least Category 1 hurricane level, and five of those accorded major hurricane level (Category 3 or worse).

-- Uineka Lynn Henderson, 28, McCall Road, Donaldsonville, was booked Monday on felony fugitive warrants originating in Ascension Parish.

On Monday, a uniformed patrol deputy conducted a traffic stop on La. 70 near Belle River. During the investigating stop, deputies made contact with an individual now identified as Henderson.

A warrants check determined that Henderson was wanted on a fugitive warrant from the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office alleging failure to appear in court on charges of illegal carrying of weapons in the presence of controlled dangerous substances, possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice and criminal contempt of court.

Henderson was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and released to the custody of the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.

--Angel Strickland Reeves, 33, Honey Lane, Bayou L’Ourse, was booked Monday on a warrant alleging a probation/parole violation.

Reeves was convicted of the crime of possession of methamphetamine Dec. 16 in Assumption Parish. Reeves was sentenced to the Louisiana Department of Corrections for a term of 18 months. The sentence was suspended, and Reeves was ordered to serve 18 months of supervised probation.

Reeves was ordered to comply with specific conditions of probation which she failed to do so. On March 31, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Angel Strickland Reeves.

On Nov. 26, Reeves was arrested by the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office during a traffic stop.

Reeves was released to the custody of the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office on Monday and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. She remains incarcerated without bond.
