National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Erickson said the amount of rain today and the degree of flooding threat for St. Mary Parish depends on whether a line of heavy rain this morning in St. Landry and Vermillion parishes moves eastward. The chance of rain is 70 percent today and tomorrow with a 50 percent chance on Saturday and 30 percent on Sunday, Erickson said. The rain gauge at the Bayou Boeuf locks accumulated 1.8 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. The National Weather Service estimated that 2 to 4 inches of rain fell in some places in the parish. Nick Dinger, an operator at the Berwick locks, reported that 4.5 inches of rain fell there in the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. Berwick Mayor Louis Ratcliff said precautionary barricades were put out when about 3 (Continued on Page 12) Tornado in Garyville, houses flood, 1 death BY JANET MCCONNAUGHEY Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — A line of severe storms swept through southern Louisiana on Wednesday, unleashing a tornado that damaged an oil refinery, downpours that caused widespread street and home flooding, and lightning that is believed to have sparked a house fire. At least one person died, apparently after being swept under a truck by rushing water, authorities said. An EF-1 tornado, about 150 yards wide with maximum winds estimated near 105 mph, hit Garyville about 5:30 a.m., the National Weather Service said. The tornado damaged a cooling tower at the Marathon Petroleum Corp. refinery, shutting down the crude oil unit it served, and two refinery workers needed minor first aid, company spokesman Jamal Kheiry said in an email. The unit probably will remain closed until the cooling tower is fixed, he said. He added that other refinery units, including a second crude refining unit, were still operating. There were no other reports of injuries in St. John the Baptist Parish, where the only other reported damage was a few flooded houses, parish spokeswoman Baileigh Rebowe said.

Edwin Edwards holds fundraiser in Morgan City Former governor is running for Congress; says people are concerned about ‘Obamacare’ By ZACHARY FITZGERALD [email protected] MORGAN CITY — Former governor and 6th Congressional District candidate Edwin Edwards stopped in Morgan City Wednesday night for a fundraiser at NicoBella, telling supporters he will spend their money in the district for their benefit, even though they are not in his district. While addressing supporters at the fundraiser, Edwards said, “What people are going to say to you is ‘what the hell is Edwin Edwards doing in Morgan City running for Congress in the 6th District?’” However, Edwards said he can spend donors’ money in the 6th District to benefit those people in the Morgan City area. St. Mary Parish is in Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District. U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, who represents St. Mary Parish and the rest of the 3rd District, is married to Edwards’ niece. The 6th District includes Ascension, Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Lafourche, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, Terrebonne and West Baton Rouge parishes. Former U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon introduced Edwards at the fundraiser. When event organizer Lenny Dartez called him asking him to introduce Edwards, Melancon thought, “Is this silly? Nobody knows me. Everybody knows him so why would I need to introduce him?” he said. During his political career, Edwards has been a city councilman, state senator, congressman and longest serving governor in state history, Melancon said. Melancon has known Edwards since From left, Randi Nichole Landry of Morgan City, Edwin Edwards, Shannon Bruni of Morgan City and Johnny Lancon of Morgan City pose for a photo at a fundraiser for Edwards Wednesday night at NicoBella in Morgan City. Edwards is running for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District seat. “The president had promised that if people liked their insurance they could keep it. That turned out not to be correct.” —Edwin Edwards 1971 when he worked on Edwards’ campaign for governor. From talking to people, Edwards said their biggest concern is “Obamacare.” The bill is extremely complicated and does not do exactly what it was supposed to do, he said. “The president had promised that if people liked their insurance they could keep it. That turned out not to be cor- rect,” Edwards said. However, the bill does have good provisions including allowing people with pre-existing conditions to get health insurance and children can stay on their parents’ policies until age 26. Though the event was a fundraiser for Edwards’ campaign, he wanted to let people in the Morgan City area know that even though they are on the far end or just outside of the district, he still cares about them and will be there to serve them, he said. Edwards also said the Keystone pipeline also needs to be completed and legislators should continue to push to allow for its completion, he said. “There are 173,000 miles of pipeline in this country transporting petrochemicals, oil, gas and gasoline. There’s no major problems with that,” Edwards said. Dartez, of Morgan City, said he (Continued on Page 12) By JEAN L. McCORKLE [email protected] Louisiana education officials say regionally and statewide, public school student scores stayed relatively steady over 2013 scores, but noted that the tests are becoming more challenging as the state seeks to better prepare students for college. Statewide, 69 percent of public school students scored at the “basic” or better level on Donald Aguillard standardized tests this year. St. Mary Parish edged the state at 70 percent. Both of those numbers were identical in 2013. St. Mary Parish, at 27th in the state for 3rd through 8th grade proficiency, was edged by Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, which each had 71 percent of students scoring basic and above in both 2013 and 2014. Regionally, the next closest parish was Assumption, ranking 34th with 67 percent, up one point over 2013. Iberia Parish was 36th with 67 percent, down one point from 2013. St. Martin ranked 42nd with 65 percent in both 2013 and 2014. For St. Mary Parish, Superintendent Donald Aguillard said “LEAP and iLEAP test results released on Tuesday reflect that we experienced a very successful academic year in grades 3-8. I remind you that the 2014 version of LEAP and iLEAP were modified to be more closely aligned to questions expected on the PARCC assessments.” Specifically, Aguillard said, State Superintendent John White recently identified major changes in the test format including: —More challenging texts and questions. —Additional long writing questions in all grades. —Scoring of students’ writing prompts for grammar in all grades. —In math, requiring students to both justify their reasoning and respond to arguments by identifying correct reasoning or flawed logic in the argument. Aguillard said that because of the changes, “comparison of 2014 to prior year results is not appropriate given that the 2014 LEAP and iLEAP exams contained more challenging questions.” By 2025, White said, half of all students at a school will have to achieve subject mastery in order for that school to get an A rating. “There is not a school system in the state that is at that level today,” White said. Aguillard identified the 10-year journey as “one of the significant challenges facing all school districts as we move closer to PARCC testing.” St. Mary Parish recorded 23 percent of students in grades 3-8 as having attained mastery in 2014.

Wiggins Jr. of Youngsville, formerly of Morgan City, wish to announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Lauren Ashley Wiggins, to Trey Norris Hebert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norris Hebert Jr. of New Iberia. The wedding will take place at 7 p.m. Friday at Sacred Heart of Jesus in Broussard. By JANET McCONNAUGHEY The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Prison inmates, a researcher in Nepal and a Cajun chef are among those contributing to a historian’s understanding of chayote and his project to restore the edible gourd to backyards across the Gulf Coast. A hard freeze in the 1990s and Hurricane Katrina’s floods in 2005 killed the variety known locally as mirlitons in New Orleans. Lance Hill, a professor at Tulane University, had never seen the pale green foodstuff until he moved to New Orleans in the 1980s and a neighbor brought some over. “Like any foreigner, I said ‘What’s that? What do you use it for?’ They gave me recipes. I started growing them and became an enthusiast,” said Hill, director of the Southern Institute for Education and Research, Tulane’s tolerance education and race relations research institute. Now the expert in race relations has become an aficionado in the specialized and wildly Couple feeling financial strain receives many helpful ideas DEAR ABBY: “Holding on in Arkansas” (Feb. 27) asked where to go for free counseling. You suggested she call her local mental health department for counseling options for her marriage and money issues. AnothBy Jeanne Phillips er resource © 2014 Universal Press Syndicate would be her local church. Pastors often offer counseling to couples. Many churches also have support groups for parents to connect with each other. I have seen churches save marriages and get couples back on the right track emotionally and financially. PASSING IT ON IN TENNESSEE Dear Abby DEAR PASSING IT ON: Your suggestion was mentioned by a number of other readers. They, too, felt that solving her financial problems would lessen or eliminate the marital discord “Holding” and her husband are experiencing. Read on: FULL OF IDEAS IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: One of the largest contributors to our national charitable network — United Way — offers many helpful services. The Consumer Credit Counseling Service may also be a resource, if credit cards are part of the problem. If there is a choice between paying a bill or buying groceries, the bill should come first. There are many food pantries. The family can also apply for food stamps. Asking for help can be difficult or embarrassing, but knowing your kids won’t be hungry makes it worth it. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, TOO DEAR ABBY: “Holding” should seek help from the school counselor. He/she can recommend mental health support within the family’s financial means, and connect them with additional community resources to lessen some of the stresses of daily life. With many families struggling in many ways, encouraging this woman to seek out available help is crucial. SCHOOL COUNSELOR-INTRAINING DEAR ABBY: “Holding” should contact her bank about refinancing her mortgage. If she can’t pay her electric bill, she should see if she qualifies for a reduced rate for her income level. As for the kids, if they’re in school, they probably meet the criteria for the reduced-cost lunch program. DEAR ABBY: Does her employer or her husband’s have an Employee Assistance Program? These services offer a wide range of help, including dealing with mental health and financial issues, and may be paid for as part of the employer’s contract with the EAP organization. JUST MY TWO CENTS DEAR ABBY: If the woman’s county doesn’t have a mental health department, her region should have a department of public health. Or she could be guided by the school nurse at her children’s school. School nurses are often the first responders to families in crisis or in need of counseling. NEW ENGLAND NURSE DEAR ABBY: It is human nature to want the best for one’s family, but a lot of the couples suffering this kind of stress have brought it on themselves. There won’t be enough money for food and monthly bills if they are paying for new cars, a house they can’t afford, ordering takeout instead of cooking, subscribing to the deluxe cable TV package, going on expensive vacations and paying for activities the kids “have to do” just because their friends are. Couples’ financial problems could be greatly improved if they would only make better choices. LIVING WITHIN MY MEANS DOWN SOUTH productive bit of agriculture. “There aren’t a lot of vegetables that people can plant and have access to 300 pounds of fruit in their backyard,” he said. In New Orleans, mirlitons — a name common to Louisiana and Haiti — are often baked with seafood stuffing in the cavity left by the single big seed. Their mild taste and firm texture also make them useful in recipes from stews and salads to casseroles, spaghetti sauce and even desserts. They are slightly sweeter than summer squash and keep their shape better when cooked. Hill’s off-hours nonprofit organization, Mirlitons.org, identifies, distributes, and preserves varieties grown for decades in Louisiana yards. It also collects and distributes cultivation and cooking howtos. He’s identified and named 15 varieties. It’s hard to say how many people are involved or just what they’re all growing, Hill said. “We’ve distributed a couple thousand seed or plants. A lot are through growers we provided seed a few years ago,” including some in Texas, Alabama and Florida. “You can keep track of only so much,” Hill said. The project sounded like a natural for the Louisiana State Penitentiary’s horticulture and landscaping program, said director Marcus Barnardez, who teaches 29 inmates serving life terms and 11 shorter-term in- mates. Hill wants some growers cultivating a single variety far enough from any other chayote to keep bees from hybridizing them. That was certainly true at the remote, 18,000-acre prison north of Baton Rouge. The first seedlings thrived in a prison greenhouse but died in the dirt. Angola’s soil was too dense and acidic. After a year of work, inmates planted 40 fresh seedlings in full sunlight, as recommended. Again, nearly all withered. “We had tried everything else. We put up a makeshift shade cloth. Almost immediately, the plants started to revive,” said James Burns, an inmate appealing his second-degree murder conviction and life sentence for stabbing and running over his wife in 2007. After much discussion, he said, they figured the problem was the wide-open prison garden. Backyard mirlitons are “near fences, near houses and buildings. Trees. They’re never just in the direct sun,” said Burns. Hill was impressed: “They’re very organized and scientific.” This year, Burns set up wires like narrow rows of clotheslines on which shade cloth will be laid in the summer. He was waiting to see whether the roots survived the frigid winter under extra layers of mulch to keep them warm. Hill got into saving mirlitons after a hard freeze in the 1990s killed his vines. Experts told him to plant grocery-store chayote, which died in the summer heat. After Hurricane Katrina, Hill found a 1995 study by Moha Dutta Sharma of Tribhuvan University in Nepal describing about 150 very diverse varieties. More research revealed that U.S. groceries sell chayote grown in high mountain valleys. It can’t withstand coastal Louisiana’s heat, humidity, diseases and bugs. He began looking for heirloom plants in other parishes. “It wasn’t particularly easy. ... I’d say the median age of those growers was about 78 years old,” Hill said. Chef John Folse, who calls mirlitons the “premier vegetable of the Cajuns and Creoles,” grows a pure white variety called Ishrael Thibodaux. He said he’s developing recipes to use at his restaurants in New Orleans and in Ridgeland, Mississippi. As a child in Donaldsonville, he said, “When mirlitons came to the table we would look around to see who was coming. Company was coming to the house.” Hill names each variety he raises to acknowledge the person who gave it to him. For example, a woman in her 80s in Cut Off had a huge vine planted by her father. That vine likely died in a flood, but a piece of fruit that the woman had given Hill was saved. Hill used that to eventually grow the Papa Sylvest line. “She wanted to name it after her father,” Hill said.

No end yet to salmonella outbreak tied to chicken WASHINGTON (AP) — An outbreak of antibiotic-resistant salmonella linked to a California chicken company hasn’t run its course after more than a year, with 50 new illnesses in the past two months and 574 people sickened since March 2013. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there are about eight new salmonella illnesses linked to the outbreak a week, most of them in California. So far, there has been no recall of Foster Farms chicken. The Agriculture Department says it is monitoring Foster Farms facilities and that measured rates of salmonella in the company’s products have been going down since the outbreak began. The department threatened to shut down Foster Farms’ facilities last year but let them stay open after it said the company had made immediate changes to reduce salmonella rates. The CDC said 37 percent of victims were hospitalized, and that the outbreak is resistant to many antibiotics. In addition, the CDC said that 13 percent of the victims had developed blood infections, almost three times the normal rate. Victims came from 27 states and Puerto Rico. Three-fourths of victims who were able to provide the CDC with brand information said they had consumed chicken produced by Foster Farms before they became ill. In a statement, Foster Farms said it has put many new measures in place, including tighter screening of birds before they buy them, improved safety on the farms where the birds are raised and better sanitation in its plants. The company suggested that the recent cases may be because salmonella incidence increases in the warmer months. In January, USDA inspectors briefly closed the a Foster Farms plant in Livingston, Calif., after finding cockroaches on five separate occasions over four months. The Daily Review, Morgan City, La., Thursday, May 29, 2014, Page News briefs Prosecutors: Spilled drink led Hernandez to kill BOSTON — In the months leading up to a fatal double shooting, Aaron Hernandez had become increasingly convinced that people had been “testing, trying or otherwise disrespecting him” when he went to nightclubs, prosecutors said. When a man bumped into Hernandez while dancing, spilling his drink, that may have been the last straw. Authorities say the former New England Patriots star followed the man and his friends, then opened fire on their car, killing two men and wounding a third. “I think I got one in the head and one in the chest,” Hernandez said to a friend as they raced from the intersection where the victims were shot as they sat in their car, prosecutors said at the former tight end’s arraignment. Hernandez, already charged with killing another man last year, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to seven charges — including two counts of first-degree murder — in the 2012 shooting that killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. Obama seeks ground between intervention, isolation WEST POINT, N.Y. — Seeking to redefine America’s foreign policy for a post-war era, President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared that the United States remains the only nation with the capacity to lead on the world stage but argued it would be a mistake to channel that power into unrestrained military adventures. Obama’s approach, outlined in a commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy, underscored his efforts to straddle the line between global isolation and intervention. Neither view, he said, “fully speaks to the demands of this moment.” “It is absolutely true that in the 21st century, American iso- lation is not an option,” Obama said in remarks to more than 1,000 of the military’s newest officers. “But to say that we have an interest in pursuing peace and freedom beyond our borders is not to say that every problem has a military solution.” Obama has often struggled to articulate not only what should fill the space between intervention and isolation but also any success the administration has had in finding that middle ground. His preferred tool kit, which includes economic sanctions, diplomatic negotiations and international coalition building, rarely generates quick fixes and is often more ambiguous than more easily explained military action. The president’s strategy also has garnered mixed results. While diplomacy and sanctions have brought the U.S. and Iran closer to a nuclear accord than ever before, neither approach has stopped the bloodshed of Syria’s four-year civil war or prevented Russia from annexing territory from Ukraine. CIA drone strike program in Pakistan ending WASHINGTON — Just after midnight last Christmas, Pakistani officials say, two Hellfire missiles from a U.S. drone slammed into a house in Miramshah, Pakistan, killing four militants. It was an otherwise unremarkable episode in the sixth year of a relentless unmanned aerial campaign by the CIA. Unremarkable, except for this: There hasn’t been a drone strike reported in Pakistan in the months since. The secret targeted killing program that once was the mainstay of President Barack Obama’s counterterrorism effort appears to be winding down. In a major foreign policy speech at the U.S. Military Academy on Wednesday, Obama said the U.S. would continue to carry out occasional drone Discover great vacation ideas in your own backyard.

Armed U.S. drones are still flying regularly over Pakistan’s tribal areas, and CIA targeting officers are still nominating militants to a kill list, according to U.S. officials regularly briefed on the covert program who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss covert programs publicly. But over the past five months, no missiles have been fired. And while the CIA won’t say the program has ended, Obama announced this week a plan to pull nearly all American troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016. The targeted killing program in Pakistan relies on drones flown from, and intelligence gathered in, U.S. bases in Afghanistan that would then be closed. Egypt: El-Sissi wins election CAIRO — With nearly all votes counted, Egypt’s former military chief has won a crushing victory over his sole opponent in the country’s presidential election with more than 92 percent of the votes, according to results announced by his campaign today. The interim president said turnout reached 46 percent. But the turnout figure raised questions of the vote’s integrity after the state — following widespread reports of empty polling stations during the scheduled two days of voting — abruptly added a third day to beef up the numbers. The victory by retired field marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was never in doubt, but the career infantry officer had pushed for a strong turnout to bestow legitimacy on his ouster last July of Egypt’s first freely elected president, the Islamist Mohammed Morsi. Poll exams dating WASHINGTON — Who ever said the dating game was logical? A new Associated Press-WE tv poll turns up all kinds of contradictions when people lay out their thoughts on dating, especially when it comes to money and gender roles. Seven in 10 of those surveyed say it’s unacceptable to expect a date to pay for everything. But most still say it’s a man’s job to pay for the first date. Most say it’s OK to ask someone out because he or she seems successful. But even more say it’s unacceptable to turn down people because they haven’t had much success. One-third think it’s OK to search for online clues about a potential first date’s success in life. But very few say daters should pay attention to each other’s finances before they are exclusive. Overall, the traits that men and women rate as important hew to traditional gender roles. Men and women agree that personality is the most important trait to consider when deciding whether to go on a first date with someone, and very few overall say money is a top consideration. Yet men are more apt than women to prioritize looks, while most women place greater emphasis on a suitor’s financial situation and career ambitions. It’s not just older people who feel that way: The differences are amplified among younger singles. About half of single men under age 45 say looks are a priority; 70 percent of single women under 45 call career ambitions key. There’s a clear gender gap on finances. Men are less likely than women to say they’re comfortable dating someone who makes significantly more money than they do — 71 percent of women would be comfortable in that situation compared with 59 percent of men. Women are more wary of dating someone who earns less — 43 percent of men would be OK dating someone with a significantly lower salary; just 28 percent of women would. More broadly, uncoupled Americans are squeamish about dating those whose financial situations may not equal their own. A shaky financial past is generally acceptable (more say they’re comfortable dating someone who grew up in a poor family than in a wealthy one), but a questionable present inspires doubt. From The Associated Press. 3 Ukraine military helicopter shot down; general among dead SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) — Rebels in eastern Ukraine shot down a government military helicopter today amid heavy fighting around Slovyansk, killing 14 soldiers including a general, Ukraine’s leader said. Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov told the parliament in Kiev that rebels used a portable air defense missile to bring down the helicopter. He said Gen. Serhiy Kulchytskiy was among the dead, according to the Interfax news agency, which earlier gave the wrong first name for the general. Slovyansk, 100 miles from the Russian border, has become the epicenter of fighting between pro-Russia insurgents and government forces in recent weeks. Its residential areas have regularly come under mortar shelling from government forces, causing civilian casualties and prompting some residents to flee. An Associated Press reporter saw the helicopter go down amid a trail of black smoke. Gunshots were heard in Slovyansk near the crash site and a Ukrainian air force jet was seen circling above. It was too dangerous to visit the site itself. Turchynov said the helicopter was flying troops in for a rotation to a hill outside Slovyansk where Ukrainian forces have set up positions. The Interfax news agency said Kulchytskiy had once served in the Soviet army and was in charge of combat training for Ukraine’s National Guards. The city of 120,000 is in the Donetsk region, one of the two sprawling provinces in eastern Ukraine that have declared independence from the government in Kiev. The Kiev government condemns the insurgency roiling the east as the work of “terrorists” bent on destroying the country and blames Russia for fomenting it. Russia denies the accusations, saying it has no influence over rebels, who insist they are only protecting the interests of Russian-speakers in the east. Still, fighters from Russia, including from the battled-hardened region of Chechnya, have been appearing recently in the ranks of the separatists. IG: Phoenix VA hospital missed care for 1,700 vets PHOENIX (AP) — Navy veteran Ken Senft turned to the Department of Veterans Affairs for medical care in 2011 after his private insurance grew too costly. It could have been a fatal mistake, he now says. A few years ago, the 65-year-old had a lesion on his head. He went to a VA clinic near his home outside Phoenix, but he said the doctor told him it could be two years before he might get an appointment with a dermatologist. So he paid out of pocket to see a private physician. Turns out, he had cancer. “What if I had waited two years?” Senft said in frustration. “I might be dead.” Senft’s story comes amid allegations of delayed care and misconduct at VA facilities across the nation. A probe of operations at the Phoenix VA Health Care System found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of being lost or forgotten” after being kept off an official waiting list. The investigation, initially focused on the Phoenix hospital, found systemic problems in the VA’s sprawling nationwide system, which provides medical care to about 6.5 million veterans annually. The scathing report by the VA Office of Inspector General released Wednesday increased pressure on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign. The interim findings confirmed allegations of excessive delayed care in Phoenix, with an average 115-day wait for a first appointment for those on the waiting list. That’s nearly five times longer than the Phoenix hospital system had reported to national VA administrators. “While our work is not complete, we have substantiated that significant delays in access to care negatively impacted the quality of care at this medical facility,” Richard J. Griffin, the department’s acting inspector general, wrote in the 35-page report. It found that “inappropriate scheduling practices are systemic throughout” some 1,700 VA health facilities nationwide, including 150 hospitals and more than 800 clinics. Griffin said 42 centers are now under investigation. 30% of world is now fat, no country immune LONDON (AP) — Almost a third of the world is now fat, and no country has been able to curb obesity rates in the last three decades, according to a new global analysis. Researchers found more than 2 billion people worldwide are now overweight or obese. The highest rates were in the Middle East and North Africa, where nearly 60 percent of men and 65 percent of women are heavy. The U.S. has about 13 percent of the world’s fat population, a greater percentage than any other country. China and India combined have about 15 percent. “It’s pretty grim,” said Christopher Murray of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study. He and colleagues reviewed more than Maya Angelou, writer of many talents, dies at 86 NEW YORK (AP) — Maya Angelou was a woman of many identities — poet foremost among them — but those who knew her well made sure to address her as Dr. Angelou, out of respect for all the honorary degrees she received. Titles mattered to Angelou, who never graduated from college, as they would to anybody who grew up with nothing, achieved everything and were determined never to give it back. Angelou, a renaissance woman and cultural pioneer, died Wednesday at her home in Winston-Salem, N.C. She was 86. A childhood victim of rape, she broke through silence and shame to tell her tale in one of the most widely read memoirs of the 20th century. A black woman born into poverty and segregation, she recited the most popular presidential inaugural poem in history. Tall and regal, with a deep, majestic voice, she was unforgettable whether encountered in person, through sound or the printed word. She was an actress, singer and dancer in the 1950s and 1960s and made a brave and sensational debut as an author in 1969 with “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” which became standard (and occasionally censored) reading and made Angelou one of the first black women to enjoy mainstream literary success. “Caged Bird” was the start of a multipart autobiography that continued through the decades and captured a life of hopeless obscurity and triumphant, kaleidoscopic fame. The world was watching in 1993 when she read her cautiously hopeful “On the Pulse of Morning” at President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration. Her confident performance openly delighted Clinton and made publishing history by making a poem a best-seller. For President George W. Bush, she read another poem, “Amazing Peace,” at the 2005 Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the White House. 1,700 studies covering 188 countries from 1980 to 2013. “When we realized that not a single country has had a significant decline in obesity, that tells you how hard a challenge this is.” Murray said there was a strong link between income and obesity; as people get richer, their waistlines also tend to start bulging. He said scientists have noticed accompanying spikes in diabetes and that rates of cancers linked to weight, like pancreatic cancer, are also rising. The new report was paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published online Thursday in the journal, Lancet. Last week, the World Health Organization established a high-level commission tasked with ending childhood obesity.

DISTRIBUTED BY UNIVERSAL UCLICK FOR UFS BYRON YORK Would Democrats Amend Constitution To Stop The Koch Brothers? by Byron York It’s no longer news when Majority Leader Harry Reid takes to the floor of the Senate to denounce the Koch brothers. But most Americans probably don’t know that Reid and many of his Democratic colleagues now want to amend the U.S. Constitution in far-reaching ways to put an end to the conservative billionaires’ political influence. “The shadowy Koch brothers are attempting ... a hostile takeover of American democracy,” Reid charged recently. “No one should be able to pump unlimited funds into a political campaign.” Reid urged his fellow lawmakers to support a proposed constitutional amendment, written by Democratic Sen. Tom Udall and co-sponsored by 40 of the Senate’s 55 Democrats, that would give Congress the right to regulate all political contributions and all spending of any kind in all federal elections. (It would also give states the power to do the same in state elections.) The Supreme Court has held such far-reaching restrictions to be unconstitutional, which is why Reid wants to take the extreme step of changing the nation’s founding document. “Amending our Constitution is not something we take lightly,” Reid said. “But the flood of special interest money into our American democracy is one of the greatest threats our system of government has ever faced.” The Udall amendment is brief. This is the heart of it: “Congress shall have power to regulate the raising and spending of money and in-kind equivalents with respect to federal elections, including setting limits on (1) the amount of contributions to candidates for nomination for election to, or for election to, federal office, and (2) the amount of funds that may be spent by, in support of, or in opposition to such candidates.” The amendment would grant incredible power to Congress: the authority to regulate every dollar raised and every dollar spent by every campaign and every outside group in every federal race in America. It would do the same for nonmonetary, or “in-kind” contributions — that is, when a person or organization contributes goods or services to a campaign. If Reid had his way, the U.S. Constitution would include the phrase “in-kind equivalents.” The Udall amendment is not some sort of eccentric crusade. It is the latest in a long line of efforts to limit campaign contributions and spending. And liberals have been particularly angry recently after the results of the McCutcheon and Citizens United cases. But the Udall amendment is also part of a Democratic 2014 midterm electoral strategy that focuses on the Kochs as standin villains representing all of America’s economic ills. Building on the Occupy Wall Street movement and the successful portrayal of Mitt Romney as a plutocrat in the 2012 presidential election, wrote Washington Post liberal blogger Greg Sargent recently, Democratic strategists now believe “struggling swing voters are more open to the argument that the influence of big money in politics is one of the key reasons (along with other long-running trends) for rising inequality and a key cause of why the economy is rigged against them and for the wealthy ... “ It seems a long shot, but Democrats are facing a pretty tough environment this year. Maybe it’s the best they have. Still, proposing to amend the Constitution is a serious thing. Yes, it has been done for frivolous purposes in the past: In 1989, George H.W. Bush supported a proposed amendment to ban flag burning. But now, Reid, Charles Schumer and other top Democrats pledge that the Udall amendment will be debated in the full Senate and receive a vote — and perhaps several votes — this year. They are serious. After Reid’s announcement of support, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a longtime veteran of the campaign finance wars, expressed outrage, calling the amendment “an all-out assault on the right to free speech” and “the ultimate act of radicalism.” Privately, some Hill Republicans see the move as a Democratic effort to bait GOP leaders into defending the Kochs. Which would of course be followed by more Democratic denunciations of the Kochs. As far as the amendment itself is concerned, there’s not a chance in the world Democrats will succeed. Amending the Constitution requires a twothirds vote in both House and Senate, and then approval by the legislatures of threefourths of the states. It won’t happen. But the very fact that Democrats plan to seriously consider a constitutional amendment born of an election-year strategy to silence a pair of big conservative contributors suggests how far Reid and his colleagues would go to crack down on political adversaries. Is any temporary partisan advantage worth such a radical step? (Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.)

Obama says too little info about youth concussions By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama called today for more robust research into youth concussions, saying there remains deep uncertainty over both the scope of the troubling issue and the long-term impacts on young people. “We want our kids participating in sports,” Obama said as he opened a day-long summit on concussions at the White House. “As parents though, we want to keep them safe and that means we have to have better information.” The summit signaled an effort by Obama to use the power of the presidency to elevate a national conversation over youth concussions. The White House brought together representatives of professional sports leagues, coaches, parents, young athletes, medical professionals and others for the event. Obama, an avid sports fan and father of two daughters involved in athletics, highlighted millions of dollars in pledges and other support from the National Football League, the National Institutes of Health and others to conduct research that could begin to provide answers and improve safety. Among the financial commitments is a $30 million joint research effort by the NCAA and Defense Department and an NFL commitment of $25 million over the next three years to promote youth sports safety. The president said additional research needs to also be combined with a broader recognition of the need to take the matter seriously. “We have to change a culture that says, ‘suck it up,’ “ he said. Obama had waded into the debate over concussions before, saying that if he had sons, he would “have to think long and hard” about whether he would allow them to play football. As the father of two daughters, Obama tried to broaden out the discussion over head injuries, saying that young people who play soccer, lacrosse, hockey and other sports also are at risk. A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that can be caused by a blow to the head, or a blow to the body powerful enough to jostle the brain around inside the skull. Nearly 250,000 kids and young adults visit hospital emergency rooms each year with brain injuries caused by sports or other recreational activity, the White House said. The NFL recently agreed to pay $765 million to settle concussion claims from thousands of former players whose complaints range from headaches to Alzheimer’s disease. That settle- ment is still awaiting a judge’s approval, while a group of former professional hockey players has filed a class-action lawsuit of their own against the National Hockey League for head injuries sustained on the ice. The White House summit was also looking at concussions and other brain injuries suffered by service members. Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, was also participating in the summit. An afternoon sports clinic on the South Lawn with Obama and kids from local YMCA programs was canceled because of rainy weather. Other research efforts on concussions and head injuries include: — An NIH project looking at the chronic effects of repetitive concussions. The work is supported by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health through an initial investment of $16 million from the NFL. —UCLA will use $10 million from New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch to launch a program to study sports concussion prevention, outreach, research and treatment for athletes of all ages, but especially youth. The money will also support planning for a national system to determine the incidence of youth sports concussions.

Sales figures are unofficial. Manning hasn’t slowed down this offseason ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning apparently didn’t need much time off after throwing for an NFL record 55 touchdowns, winning his fifth MVP award and leading the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl. His busy offseason has included trips to pay respects to retiring stars such as David Letterman and Derek Jeter, and visits to college campuses across the South just like in the 1990s when he was a star recruit known more for being Archie’s son. Denver’s 38-year-old quarterback raised eyebrows at NFL headquarters and the hackles of some Tennessee fans in April after visiting Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at the same time as his offensive coordinator, Adam Gase. Denver’s brain trust shared secrets with Tide coach Nick Saban, who said he met them separately to avoid violating NFL rules. He also visited Oklahoma State, where he reportedly received a sixfigure speaking fee for an hour’s talk a few days after giving the keynote address at the Boy Scouts’ annual breakfast in Denver for free. This, of course, is in addition to the notorious hours of film study, rehab and throwing he does on his own just to get ready for the offseason work he puts in at Broncos headquarters. Then there’s his toddler twins that keep him busy during whatever free time he does have. “Staying active, I think that’s what I try to do,” Manning said after the Broncos’ first 11-on-11 workouts of the offseason Wednesday. “I don’t really enjoy just sitting around doing nothing. Obviously, I rarely get a chance to do that. Anytime I’m home, I’m playing, playing a lot of Tball right now with the kids and playing, staying pretty busy there.” The Daily Review, Morgan City, La., Thursday, May 29, 2014, Page Morgan City police radio logs The following are the radio dispatch logs from the Morgan City Police Department.

The spending plan includes new money for services to help the disabled, higher education and public schools. Rank-and-file state workers would get a pay raise, but would also face new premium hikes for health insurance. More than 1,000 state jobs would be cut, though most are vacant. Many of the across-the-board cuts proposed by the House for contracts, overtime pay and vacant positions were stripped by senators who voted 37-1 for the reworked budget bill after less than two hours of debate. “I think we did a pretty good job with it,” said Finance Committee Chairman Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, who led the budget-crafting efforts in the Senate. More than $70 million in “efficiencies” recommended by a consulting firm hired by Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration would be required to balance the spending plan, along with more than $970 million in patchwork financing that isn’t expected to reappear a year later. The only vote of opposition came from Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans. Peterson has called the spending proposal “a ticking time bomb” because of the piecemeal financing used to make the numbers work and because it doesn’t address ongoing concerns about federal rejec- tion of LSU hospital-privatization financing used in the bill. Donahue said he had no idea if House members will embrace the Senate changes or reject them and send the budget to a legislative compromise committee. House to debate secrecy for Capitol security video BATON ROUGE — Security surveillance video from the Louisiana Capitol complex would be kept off-limits under a bill headed for full House debate, a measure that supporters say would boost safety in the buildings. The House and Governmental Affairs Committee advanced the proposal without objection Wednesday after a heavy rewrite that narrowed its scope. Committee: Truck stop owner should keep tiger BATON ROUGE — A measure that would allow a gas station owner to keep a tiger at his business is nearing final legislative passage after getting approval from a Louisiana House committee Wednesday. The House Natural Resources Committee voted 10-6 to approve the proposal by Port Allen Sen. Rick Ward, a Republican who said he grew up seeing tigers at the gas station in Grosse Tete. The bill would allow Michael Sandlin, owner of Tiger Truck Stop, to keep a 14year-old Bengal tiger named Tony on site despite court rulings against him. He has previously lost a lawsuit and has another one pending that challenges the law prohibiting big cat ownership. Louisiana passed a law in 2006 that bars people from owning big cats, but makes an exception for those who can “prove previous ownership,” along with universities and zoos. The bill would amend the law to say that people who lawfully obtained a big cat and possessed it since 2006 are included in exemptions. Jury questionnaires to be hidden from public BATON ROUGE — Jury questionnaires will be kept hidden from the public, if Gov. Bobby Jindal agrees to the public records exemption that received final passage Wednesday with a 96-1 House vote. Under the bill (Senate Bill 353), the public can’t see the questionnaires, but any licensed attorney in Louisiana still will be able to access them. Sen. Barrow Peacock, R-Shreveport, said the questioning during jury selection in a case still will be open to the public. Bill OKs student transfers BATON ROUGE — The House has agreed to let students at poor-performing schools have the possibility of switching to higher-performing schools. Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, said the Senate-approved measure (Senate Bill 61) by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, would offer choice to public school students, like the state has offered through the taxpayer-funded voucher program. The proposal would start with the upcoming 2014-15 school year, in school districts that agree to participate with a majority vote of the local school board members. From The Associated Press.

Would you please readdress this in your column? — Lynne A., via email This is a frequently asked question, and there are a couple of things you can try: * Put an ice cube in each indentation. As it melts, use your fingers to pull up the carpet fibers. You even can use a comb (gently) to help the fibers stand back up. * Add warm water to a spray bottle and use it to dampen the carpet indentations. Then use a hair dryer on a warm setting, and your fingers, to fluff up the fibers while blowing the air on them. * You also could use a clothing steamer to moisten the carpet and then again use your fingers to help the fibers stand up, but be careful not to burn yourself. — Heloise FINDING THE PARTS Dear Heloise: One of the most frequent and frustrating situations people find themselves in after moving is having disassembled an item and not being able to find the parts needed to reassemble it. A simple solution is to keep a supply of zippered plastic bags on hand, and as soon as something is disassembled, put the parts into the bag and tape the bag to the underside of the disassembled piece. — Dave S., Reading, Pa. HELPFUL HINTS Dear Heloise: On medication bottles or boxes, I write with a felt-tip pen what the meds are for and how often the meds are to be taken. This helps when someone else is dispensing them. I also take photos of medical facilities when we go for appointments and keep them in a “medical journal.” You can see quickly where you need to go for an appointment. — Barbara in San Angelo, Texas BABY OIL AS REMOVER Dear Heloise: Baby oil is great at removing stickers from tubs and shower surroundings. Just apply until soaked well, then remove with a plastic spatula or your fingernails. (The oil is good for your hands and nails, too.) — J.G., via email You have to be careful not to scratch the tub or shower, so don’t use anything metal to peel away the sticker. Make sure all the oil is rinsed off completely, too. — Heloise CANNING-JAR RINGS Dear Heloise: I always read your hints, and I have appreciated them through the years. I just read the hint from a reader about storing canning-jar rings. I always store mine on the jar to protect the top of the jar from chipping. A chipped jar does not seal! — Nadine, via email WHEN IN HAND Dear Heloise: I have always liked this hint: When you have it in your hand, put it away. — Dorla R., Wilbur, Wash. What a great commonsense hint! This definitely will help to get it put in the right place and save time! — Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210HELOISE or email it to Heloise (at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

ASK DOCTOR K Corticosteroids Reduce Inflammation Of Eczema by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR K: My 21-month-old daughter has eczema. Is there any way to treat this condition without steroids? DEAR READER: Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is more than just dry skin. It is an inflammatory skin disease that often begins in infancy as an intensely itchy rash. Scratching leads to further irritation. The injured skin becomes chronically inflamed and more vulnerable to infection. Airborne allergens can make eczema worse. Reducing your daughter’s exposure to these triggers could improve her eczema and reduce her need for treatment: — Remove carpets and heavy draperies from her sleeping area. — Wash her bedding frequently in hot water. — Clean and vacuum frequently. — Regularly bathe pets and keep them out of her bedroom. — Avoid foods (such as milk, eggs, soy or wheat) if they trigger your daughter’s eczema. Skin affected by eczema loses water easily. Keep your daughter’s skin hydrated by soaking it in warm (not hot) baths. Don’t use soaps and shampoos, which worsen dry skin, more than twice a week. Gently pat (don’t rub) her skin dry with a soft towel. Promptly and generously apply thick moisturizers with a low water content to lock in the moisture. Choose creams without fragrances, dyes or preservatives. Antihistamines can help to control the ferocious itch, but they can cause drowsiness. Giving your daughter an antihistamine at bedtime may help relieve her itch and help her sleep during an uncomfortable flare-up. If these measures don’t control your daughter’s eczema, her doctor will likely recommend a topical corticosteroid to apply to her skin. Corticosteroid creams and ointments effectively reduce inflammation. They are one of the most important types of medicines to be developed in the past 50 years. Eczema is just one of the many diseases and conditions that can be effectively treated by these medicines. Corticosteroids often are called just “steroids” by doctors. But don’t be confused: These inflammation-fighting hormones are different from the “steroids” that body builders use. Corticosteroid creams can gradually thin the skin and cause small blood vessels to break if used on the face. So use them with caution, and in low doses, on the face — as directed by your daughter’s doctor. You may have heard that corticosteroids can stunt a child’s growth and thin the bones. That’s an issue with corticosteroid pills (or injections), but not with corticosteroid creams and ointments — unless extraordinary amounts are used over much of the body. As with any medicine, corticosteroids have both benefits and risks. You should discuss with your daughter’s doctor what the balance of benefits and risks is likely to be in her case, and I’m sure you’ll be able to find the right treatment. Fortunately, your daughter has available effective treatments that had not yet been developed two generations ago. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

GRETNA — Jefferson Parish authorities have arrested three women accused of torching a diner where they worked and stealing the business’ video poker proceeds. Myrtle Brown, 48, of Terrytown, Amy Waguespack, 27, and Chrystal Calvin, 23, both of Harvey, were booked with aggravated arson and theft valued over $1,500. Calvin and Waguespack are free on bond; Brown remained in custody Wednesday with bond set at $30,000. Deputies and crews from the Terrytown Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched just after 2 a.m. April 25 to Goody’s Cafe after getting reports of a structure fire. No one was injured in the blaze, which caused about $6,000 worth of damage. Investigators, in an incident report, noted the fire appeared to have been intentionally set. Surveillance footage from the restaurant shows Calvin starting the fire. After denying involvement, police say she eventually confessed and implicated her co-workers. Calvin told detectives the trio had been angered by a threat from the diner’s owner to fire them and close down the business, arrest reports said. They then allegedly hatched a plan to burn the café and steal $3,800 worth of video poker proceeds. The women equally split the money after the fire, the arrest report said. Bill would end salary approval for higher ed chief BATON ROUGE — A measure that would let the Louisiana Board of Regents choose the higher education commissioner and set the commissioner’s salary without legislative approval has overwhelmingly passed the House. The House voted 89-9 Wednesday to back the proposal by Metairie Sen. Conrad Appel. Currently, the board must get the Senate to confirm its choice for commissioner and get the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget to approve its salary offer. Amite Rep. John Edwards, who presented the bill, said Louisiana would be able to attract the best commissioner by removing legislative approval, which he said is an unnecessary obstacle. Opponents say the oversight is minimal and important. The bill moves back to the Senate for consideration of House changes. Lawmakers agree to remove judges’ retirement age BATON ROUGE — Voters will decide if Louisiana’s judges should be forced to retire after reaching age 70 and finishing their current terms. The Senate gave final passage to the proposed constitutional amendment with a 32-4 vote Wednesday, sending it to the voters for consideration. It will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot. Supporters describe the proposal as a fairness issue that gives voters who elect judges the ability to decide if they think someone should no longer serve. They said it was discriminatory to have an age restriction on when someone must leave office. Opponents say the restriction in the state constitution acts as a term limit on judges. Teacher accused of sexual encounter with student HOUMA — Terrebonne Parish deputies say high school teacher and boys track coach has been arrested for allegedly having a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old male student.

Senate votes to delay implications of Common Core BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Senate has agreed to delay the consequences of using the Common Core education standards until the 2016-17 school year. That’s one year longer than the policy adopted by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. The Senate voted 29-8 Wednesday for the proposal by New Orleans Rep. Walt Leger, a Democrat. The vote moved the bill one step from final passage. It must return to the House for consideration of Senate changes. Supporters say the state should provide another year to make sure teachers and students adjust to the tougher standards before their achievement is graded and used to affect teacher evaluations and school takeovers. Opponents say the bill would tie Louisiana to Common Core and its associated testing.

Morgan City police were dispatched to U.S. 90 West bound in regards to a single vehicle crash. Officers were made aware that the driver was not on scene. A short time later, police received a call from the owner of the vehicle at which time they met officers at the Police Department. While speaking to the driver, Rodriquez, officers were advised that he was driving the vehicle on U.S. 90 and lost control. The vehicle slid off of the roadway into the wooded area. Officers learned that Rodriquez left the scene of the accident due to him not having a driver’s license, Banks said. He was jailed. (Continued from Page 1) Some homes and businesses also flooded in adjacent St. James Parish, but officials were still tallying the damage, spokeswoman Melissa Wilkins said. Nearly 50 houses and apartments flooded in St. Landry Parish, 32 of them in an area north of Sunset that got 7 inches of rain, administrative director Jesse Bellard estimated. “The drainage in that area doesn’t flow that great and when they get that much rain,” he said. Bellard said parish crews helped get most of the water out of the houses and helped families clean up. “We’ve been running around the parish trying to clean up the drainage problems with logs in the ditches Parish (Continued from Page 1) inches of rain fell in a four-hour period late last night in parts of Berwick. Barricades were deployed near Tournament Boulevard and in the area of Fourth and Texas streets. “At about 3 to 4 a.m. everything was back to normal with no reports of flooding,” Ratcliff said. “The water on the streets was in areas where we typically have problems during high rainfall.” Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi said his department heads were reporting no Edwards (Continued from Page 1) brought the idea to Edwards about two months ago to hold a fundraiser while at another political function. “We discussed the configuration of the district, and he said it was going to be close to St. Mary. But he wasn’t running in St. Mary,” Dartez said. Still, Dartez told Edwards people in the area would still probably like to raise money for his campaign, he said. “He was good to the oil field service companies when he was governor and when he was a senator before that and congressman before that,” Dartez said. Dartez expected about 150 people to show up during the event, he said. A few people came from the 6th Congressional District in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, Dartez said. Though Edwards is a Democrat, Edwards said he would not vote for or against legislation just based on party-affiliation, though he does not like some of the things the right-wing, tea party supports and even certain things in his own party. Regarding river dredging, Edwards said he intends to be on the public works committee in Congress, which handles that issue.

In Ascension Parish, south of Baton Rouge, at least 29 homes, three schools and two businesses flooded, spokesman Lester Kenyon said. He said Drainage Director Bill Roux estimated total rainfall at 9 to 11 inches. Ascension Parish sheriff ’s deputies said a 56-year-old man was found dead in a flooded parking lot. Deputies said the man was found outside his job about 4:30 p.m. The business closed before noon, and when the owner went out to check the flooded parking lot he found the victim under a vehicle. Investigators believe the water pushed the man under the vehicle. Chief Deputy Tony Bacala said the incident remains damages or flooding in the city and that the streets were not flooded. Patterson Mayor Rodney Grogan said correcting culvert problems has helped stop the once-frequent cases of flooding of areas south of the railroad tracks. “We have been fortunate,” Grogan said. “I have not gotten any reports of flooding,” from yesterday and last night’s rainfall. Because of the rainfall Wednesday and additional rain expected, the St. Mary Parish sheriff ’s shooting range is closed for the remainder of the week and will reopen June 4. U.S. 90 bridge over the Atchafalaya River as governor, he said. Edwards was instrumental in getting four lanes through Lafayette on the Interstate 49 corridor, he said. Environmental problems have held that project up, but he hopes to see I-49 completed through to New Orleans, he said. Edwards said he loves the area, and Morgan City was one of his campaign stops when he first ran for governor in 1971. The Morgan City and Houma areas are extremely important to the shipping, oil and gas industry and agricultural industries in Louisiana, Edwards said. Edwards served as governor for 16 years and served in Congress for seven years prior to that. “I know the conditions of this parish. I know what people are interested in, and I know the attitudes. And I intend to reflect those attitudes and do what I can to make things better,” Edwards said. Scores (Continued from Page 1) the 61st percentile in the state.
