Did they celebrate Emmeline’s birthday?

Tue, 10/25/2022 - 9:38am

Jim Bradshaw, LSN columnist

Even the New York Times took notice of the “literary birthday” at the end of October 1967 of Emmeline Labiche, “heroine who made her name … in real life and then gained immortality in the lines of a poem.” Some people claim she and her sweetheart Louis Arceneaux were the real-life models of Longfellow’s Evangeline and Gabriel, but the Times did it right in making it a literary birthday, not a real one.
The newspaper recorded on Oct. 28, 1967, “After futilely searching in many places for her lover, [Emmeline] finally settled … among old friends in St. Martinville, [where she] lived an unhappy but normal life, until … she learned that her sweetheart had married another, [and] her mind became deranged. For years after that … she wandered through the beautiful Bayou Teche country, weaving bridal garlands of flowers for her hair.”
It’s a romantic story that the Times said it heard from Andre Olivier, the St. Martinville shopkeeper, historian, and storyteller who was credited with “enshrining” Longfellow’s heroine in the Teche county. It’s largely because of his work that businesses and products all across south Louisiana were given the name Evangeline ─ from Evangeline Maid bread to car dealerships and hot sauces and motels, even to a parish that is largely populated by non-Acadians.
A decade before the Times story, in October 1958, the Teche News declared Olivier’s store on the corner of East Bridge and North Pinaud streets “the most famous country store in the United States,” because of the “writers, historians, folk song writers, artists, and people from all walks of life” who over several decades “came to him for information and advice.”
The important distinction here is that he was both historian and storyteller, and that he sometimes intermingled history and story.
Historian Carl Brasseaux has suggested that “growing credence in the Evangeline story… was fostered by Longfellow’s literary successors, particularly Felix Voorhies, whose works were also intended to be purely fictional.”
Judge Voorhies wrote Acadian Reminiscences: The True Story of Evangeline (New Orleans, Rivas Publishers, 1907) which tells how Emmeline was about to marry Louis “when the barbarous scattering of our colony took place.” The lovers tried to flee from the village of St. Gabriel in old Acadia, but were caught by the British and sent their separate ways. In the Voorhies story, Emmeline was sent to Maryland and eventually came to Louisiana.
Olivier’s story was basically the same as the Voorhies version. A prominent sign in front of his store read, “The True Story of Evangeline By Judge Felix Voorhies of La. — Also Postal Card Views by Andre A. Olivier.” Another read, “Tourists! Stop Here. Evangeline Enshrined.”
Voorhies and Longfellow wrote fiction, but, Brasseaux argues, other writers embellished their stories, creating “a legend which bore only a faint resemblance to the original story line and none to historical events.”
Something like the tales of Evangeline and Emmeline probably did happen to more than one pair of Acadian sweethearts. But there is no record that anyone named Evangeline Bellefontaine, Gabriel Lajeunesse (as Longfellow named them), or Emmeline Labiche (the Voorhies heroine) lived in Acadia at the time of the exile. There was no village named St. Gabriel in Acadie. The St. Gabriel in Iberville Parish wasn’t created until well after the Acadian exile. There was a real Louis Arceneaux, but he was born in St. James Parish 13 years after the Le Grand Derangement.
None of that deterred the Times from reporting that Gov. Richard Leche and “literary figures and townspeople” planned commemorative ceremonies at Emmeline’s grave “in the little Catholic churchyard” in St. Martinville on Oct. 30, 1967. That, of course, would be difficult, since there was no Emmeline.
Nonetheless, you can still find accounts claiming that the bronze statue next to St. Martin Church marks Emmeline’s grave. The statue is actually of Delores del Rio, the Mexican actress who played Evangeline in the 1929 movie based on Longfellow’s poem, and who almost certainly looked nothing like Evangeline or Emmeline or any real Acadian girl.
If the governor and literary figures did gather at the statue, they did it very quietly. I find no report of it in any local newspaper. The big story in the Teche News on October 30 was about the St. Martinville High homecoming.
It is true that, even if only loosely based in history, the legend is an important narrative. It reflects the Acadian people’s ability to endure an exile designed to destroy them. That incredible survival is a fact, and the stories do reflect the real heartbreak and trauma brought on by families torn apart. Those facts are a part of the very essence of the Cajun heritage of south Louisiana. The stories are an authentic and enduring reflection of that upheaval, just as good works of fiction should be.
But they should be regarded as reminders of our history, not reports of it, even if they’re in the New York Times.

How Do You Treat Others?

Tue, 10/25/2022 - 9:37am

Bryan Golden

“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain as he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought and could be.” --Goethe

How do you treat other people? Are you ever condescending or rude? Do you feel some people are more important than others? Do you think that a person’s education, occupation, and economic status determine their significance?
Perhaps you take the opposite tact. Do you treat everyone as being important? Do you feel a person’s worth is intrinsic and independent of their job, wealth, or social status? Are you polite and considerate?
The manner in which you treat others has a direct bearing on how they respond to and treat you. As the opening quote so aptly states, people tend to meet your expectations. Of course, this doesn’t happen 100 percent of the time, but it does hold true in many circumstances.
Suppose you bought a vacuum cleaner and it stopped working 10 days after the store’s return period had ended. Aggravated, you rush back to return it. As you approach William, a customer service associate, you are annoyed and expect to be told that there is nothing the store can do for you.
Being ready for a fight, you snap at William as soon as he asks how he can help you. William spends his day facing upset and irate customers. Now he has to deal with you. Do you think William will go out of his way to help you out? Probably not.
What if you take a different strategy? Granted, you are upset that the vacuum cleaner broke and you realize that technically the store doesn’t have to help you. But you also understand that there is always latitude in spite of formal return policies.
Walking up to William you have a smile and the attitude that you know William will be able to help you resolve your problem. You treat William with respect and ask for his assistance. This strategy will give you a much better chance for a satisfactory resolution of your problem.
People do indeed react to how you treat them. They will subconsciously adjust their performance to meet your expectations. Expect little and you’ll get less. Let someone know that you believe in them, their capabilities, and potential and you will get more than you anticipated.
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to force a person to behave in a particular fashion. Even in situations where you may wield power over someone via employment or other circumstances, coerced cooperation will lead to resentment and an unstable relationship at best.
At times, you have to treat people in a way that is the opposite of how they are acting. This is often difficult to do. It’s a real challenge to treat someone well when they are treating you poorly. Although treating them as poorly as they are treating you may be tempting, the chances of you reaching your objective are close to zero. Usually, the only thing that will happen is having the situation deteriorate further.
Treating someone well who is treating you poorly doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, but it does give you the best chance of a positive solution. In these cases, treating someone well requires a lot of patience, persistence, and perseverance.
Treat people as you want them to act. Let others know you recognize their potential and believe in their capabilities. Do these things and you will be pleased with the results.

Abolish the death penalty in Louisiana?

Tue, 10/25/2022 - 9:32am

Jim Brown

A jury last week in Parkland, Florida recommended Nikolas Cruz get life in prison for killing 17 people, sparing Cruz from a death sentence after his lawyers argued he had a troubled upbringing. I read a great deal about this case and I wasn’t impressed with his “upbringing” argument. Hey, life growing up can be tough, but one isn’t excused for such unspeakable, horrific brutality that took place. I would have voted for the death penalty.
Down here in the Bayou State, there’s a clamor for more executions. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry makes no bones about his feelings. More executions -- including nitrogen gas, hangings, firing squads, electrocution, and lethal injection. But a federal judge has put all executions in Louisiana on hold for another year.
There is a reason the death penalty is rarely enforced anymore, particularly in the federal judicial system. Too many innocent victims are being convicted, based on cover-ups and the withholding of exculpatory evidence by some federal and state prosecutors. A recent study published in the National Academy of Sciences concludes that some 4.1 percent of inmates on death row are innocent. More than 4 percent! If that were the rate of airplanes crashing, would you fly?
My alma mater, the University of North Carolina, completed a death penalty study in 2016, and found that in Louisiana, 127 of 155 death penalty cases over the past 40 years ended in reversal, some 10 points above the national average.
Since 2000, there have been only two executions while seven people in Louisiana, about to be put to death, were found to be innocent. The main reason? Prosecutorial misconduct.
Louisiana has taken on the dubious title of having case after case of death row inmates being convicted based on the withholding of evidence that would prove their innocence.
New Orleans has become the cesspool for the innocent being convicted of capital crimes and sentenced to death. One of the most egregious is the case of New Orleanian John Thompson, who was convicted back in 1982 of first-degree murder and given the death sentence.? He came within days of being executed after spending 14 years on death row and 18 years total in prison. Five different prosecutors were involved in the case and all knew that a blood test, and other key evidence that showed Thompson was innocent, had been withheld by the prosecution.
On his deathbed and dying of cancer, one of the prosecutors confessed to a colleague that he had hidden the exculpatory blood sample. The colleague waited five more years before admitting that he too knew of the hidden evidence. Thompson, after 18 years, received a new trial, and his lawyers were finally able to produce pieces of evidence that had been kept from Thompson’s defense attorneys, that overwhelming showed he was innocent. The new jury took less than 35 minutes to find him not guilty. The prosecutors involved all should have been disbarred and had to serve jailtime themselves.
Hiding evidence that can find the accused innocent is nothing new for prosecutors in New Orleans, both in state and federal court as well as with the FBI. The Innocence Project of New Orleans reviewed a number of convictions over the past 25 years in the city and concluded that prosecutors have a “legacy” of suppressing evidence.
Then there is the chilling case of Dan Bright, convicted and put on death row for a murder he did not commit. Evidence came out years after his conviction that the FBI, thanks to a credible informant, had been in possession of the name of the actual killer all along. Luckily for Bright, because of the unconstitutional withholding of key evidence by the prosecution and the FBI, his conviction was thrown out, and he now is a free man.
Questionable conduct by rogue prosecutors who withhold information that could prove the innocence of an accused is far too prevalent. Whether one is for or against the death penalty, there is ample evidence that convictions of a capital crime can be a crapshoot based on the whims of some prosecutors who too often withhold evidence that shows the accused is innocent.
In the movie “Shooter”, Bobby Lee Swagger sums up how the death penalty is often enforced. In Louisiana. “This is the world we live in, and justice is not always fulfilled!”

If Biden was actually concerned about high oil prices, he would prioritize more oil drilling

Tue, 10/25/2022 - 9:30am

Robert Romano

President Joe Biden is still reeling from the decision earlier this month by OPEC to curtail global oil production as the world prepares for another recession after Covid, induced by inflation levels not seen since the 1970s and 1980s as the post-Covid supply crunch and the war in Ukraine continue.
With less than a month to go before the Congressional midterm elections — every seat in the House and one-third of the seats in the Senate are up for election on Nov. 8 — the Biden administration had been lobbying Saudi Arabia to boost production even as prices have already fallen from their highs of $120 in June after the war began. Light Sweet Crude stands at about $85 as of this writing.
The trouble is, with inflation still north of 8 percent in the U.S., Biden needed the perception that something is being done, somewhere, to increase production. Just not here. That is because he is obeying two masters, the American people and the environmentalist interests that have similarly locked up future U.S. energy production in favor of green alternatives including electric vehicles.
And yet, even there, production is worse than that of fossil fuels, with months-long waiting lists for battery-powered cars and trucks.
That is because, during Covid when much of the global economy was locked down, production was forestalled across the board, resulting in months-long delays for basic orders in supply chains when demand picked up sooner than expected. So, even though petroleum was made more scarce — U.S. oil production is still 9 percent below its peak Dec. 2019 levels of 402 million barrels a month — so was everything else, with the result being higher prices across the board.
The limits on U.S. oil production are largely self-imposed — producible leases on federal lands were down 2.4 percent in 2021 compared to 2019 — as advanced economies have been attempting to transition to net-zero carbon footprints without much immediate success. But ideas of limiting consumption by restricting immediate production are short-sighted.
Another major factor are Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing incentives that have successfully pushed U.S. oil companies to restrict future production. ESG investing has increased dramatically the past decade via private retirement funds regulated under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) thanks to a regulation by the Obama Labor Department in 2015.
Additionally, the $762 billion federal Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for federal employee retirees began investing in ESG funds in 2022, following state government employee retirement funds in California, New York, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland and Oregon.
A group of 19 Republican Attorneys General led by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson have threatened the $10 trillion hedge fund BlackRock with antitrust legal action in an Aug. 4 letter to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink accusing the company of “intentionally restrain[ing] and harm[ing] the competitiveness of the energy markets” with its market dominance of retirement investments.
Brnovich and Peterson added, “coordinated conduct with other financial institutions to impose net-zero [carbon emissions by 2050] … raises antitrust concerns. Group boycotts, restraining trade, or concerted refusals to deal, ‘clearly run afoul of’ Section 1 of the Sherman Act [according to the Supreme Court]. Section 1 prohibits ‘[e]very … combination … , or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce.’ Regarding the definition of a ‘combination,’ the Supreme Court has held that this language prohibits ‘concerted action.’”
A follow-up letter has also been sent by the group of 19 Attorneys General to the Securities and Exchange Commission, declaring “BlackRock’s past public commitments indicate that it has used citizens’ assets to pressure companies to comply with international agreements such as the Paris Agreement that force the phase-out of fossil fuels, increase energy prices, drive inflation, and weaken the national security of the United States.”
These are two things that Biden had a lot of control over: Leases on federal lands are down and ESG retirement investment regulations have only been increased in his time in office, with both the Labor Department and the SEC institutionalizing ESG incentives rather than reducing them.
The idea is to reduce America’s carbon output. Biden has been telling the world we want less oil for years now. Now, with the global economy circling the drain into another recession he’s surprised that the global oil producers like Saudi Arabia are listening.

Robert Romano is the Vice President of Public Policy at Americans for Limited Government.

Vermilion Parish Police Jury Administrator Keith Roy goes over new items as police jurors study their agendas at the police jury meeting Wednesday.

New ambulance service permit applied for in Vermilion Parish

Mon, 10/24/2022 - 11:26am

Acadian Ambulance has 30 days to respond to police jury letter regarding application

is the first step in that process.”
In other business:
The police jury will also have about $3.5 million more to spend on road repairs after it approved the re-allocation of some ARPA funds as the Public Road Committee recommended.
The committee had decided at its Oct. 5 meeting to recommend the movement of $3,487,500 toward roads. The money had previously been intended for the parish water districts.
In other business, the police jury approved a request from the Lynch family to abandon a road right-of-way on property in Pecan Island. The parish had been given road right-of-way in case a road needed to be built to give people access to their property through the property owned by the Lynch family. Still, those properties have other road access so a road was never built on the levee where the right-of-way was granted, Mary Lynch Courville told the police jury.
Courville said her mother had given the parish the right-of-way in 1978, but no road was needed in the 44 years since, so the family asked if the right-of-way could be abandoned. After a few questions from police jurors, the police jury voted to authorize Moresi to prepare an act of abandonment in connection with the right-of-way.
“When she bought Acadiana Marina, my mother was a peacemaker, and she always felt she wanted to make sure everyone had an extra right-of-way in case there was a need,” Courville said. “It’s just a levee road. It’s in Pecan Island near Acadiana Marina, and we were doing an abstract on the property, and we had no clue that it was never abandoned. So we’re asking you that you abandon this because all of the people beyond us have a right-of-way through us on the front side of our property, as well as they have their right-of-way, the Broussards do, which is through a right-of-way that’s off of Freshwater City Road.”
Courville thanked Moresi for his work in meeting with the family over the matter and thanked police jury executive secretary Amber Harrington for the great help she provided in guiding the family through what it needed to do to move the process along.
“Before I leave, I want to tell you all Vermilion Parish has been phenomenal,” Courville said. “We’re originally from Vermilion, but y’all help us so much when we come to this courthouse. I can’t brag enough about you all because I now live in Lafayette, and I can’t brag about them as I brag about you guys. Thank you very much.”

VC quarterback Jonathan Dartez had three carries for 53 yards.

The Vermilion Catholic defense got another shutout in the Eagles’ 43-0 win over the Centerville Bulldogs on Friday.
VC improved to 8-0 on the year.
VC’s defense has only given up 30 points this year. However, in one game, against Ascension Episcopal, VC’s defense gave up 24 points.
Then, a blocked field goal against Covenant Christian resulted in six other points.
The other six opponents have been held scoreless.
Against Centerville on the road, the Eagles jumped out a 22-0 first-quarter lead and were ahead 43-0 at halftime.
In the first quarter, the Eagles’ offense scored four times.
Two minutes into the game, VC quarterback Jonathan Dartez connected with tight end Jake Lege for a 34-yard touchdown pass. Dane Richoux nailed the extra point, and the blowout was underway.
Five minutes later, VC scored again when Dartez scooted 13 yards for a TD.
Dartez had only three carries for 52 yards and a touchdown in the game. The Eagles’ defense blocked a punt for a safety and a 15-0 lead.
Travin Moore, who had four carries for 55 yards in the game, scored from the 2, and Richoux kicked the extra point for a 22-0 lead.
For the second straight game, Tyjh Williams had a run of more than 50 yards. On Friday, he darted 65 yards for a touchdown in the second period.
Williams only had three carries for 78 yards in the game.
Dartez went to the air in the second quarter. He connected with Williams for a 26-yard TD catch.
The Eagles’ final score was a fumble recovery by CJ Briggs for a touchdown.
Dartez had a solid night throwing the football. He completed six of seven passes for 89 yards and two scores.
Dane Richoux (2-24) and Jyrin Bessard (2-5) had VC’s other receptions.
