SPONSOR OF THE QUARTER:


TAMMY LEDETChamber President/CEO

I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to Thanksgiving! Given that our overly-scheduled lives often make it difficult to spend time reflecting on simple pleasures, everyone can certainly use some time to pause for the day to spend with family and friends, while enjoying delicious turkey, stuffing and more. It’s finding ways to thank the many around us for the wonderful things they do for us and share with us. I recently read the following and thought you might enjoy it too! “Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.” ~ Ralph Marston

Taking a few minutes to reflect on 2018, we have so much to be thankful for here at the Chamber. Let’s start with you, our members and your commitment and loyalty to us. With members like you, we are able to provide a sustainable business community in Thibodaux along with helping to foster growth

and positive change. Your support throughout the year, has enabled many events to occur, including the breakfasts, luncheons, and business after hours each quarter. In addition, there were several joint luncheons this year combined with the Lafourche, Houma-Terrebonne, and St. Mary Chambers, featuring Congressman Garret Graves, Senator John Kennedy, and Senator Bill Cassidy. Seven educational sessions were offered as a result of chamber members donating their time and expertise and we are truly appreciative. Only through your continued support can we continue to fund community initiatives like Thibodeauxville and the Christmas Parade and lead the way for business. We would not be here today without YOU our members! So, thank you!

We are so grateful for the leadership and guidance of our board. Our board, all volunteers, share their expertise, time, and talent with us and have moved our chamber to a whole new level. One of which we are proud to announce another 4-Star Accreditation designation given to us from the US Chamber. Please see our press release on page 7. A special thanks to our Ambassadors, committee members, Chamber staff and other community volunteers for their dedication and service they provide to us throughout

the year. We would not be able to accomplish the many tasks, projects, and more without their commitment.

To me the month of November and the Thanksgiving holiday should offer up a chance to reflect on our gratitude for those things that mean so much to us in our daily life, including friends and family. So this Thanksgiving, practice a random act of kindness, whether it’s buying lunch for a stranger, or surprise a friend with a small gift, or just smile and offer sincere compliments. It just feels good when we give back to others.

Here’s hoping that your Thanksgiving will be rewarding by spending time with family, friends and others and giving thanks for the many blessings in your life. A special thanks to my family for the many blessings they have provided me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks

CODY BLANCHARDChamber Chairman

The notion to run for public office is one that is not easy to commit to nor is it always appreciated. With the results of our recent elections across the state, region, and Lafourche Parish, I’d like to congratulate all of those who were successful in their bid for public office and encourage those who were not successful to remain involved.

As citizens of our communities, we must continue to be vigilant and express to our elected officials our views for propositions and issues facing us each and every day. We often hear or see complaints of how certain issues have taken shape or how particular problems may exist in an area; however, opinions or attention have never been expressed to our elected officials. It is the duty of our elected officials to represent us, but it is our duty to assist in keeping them informed.

In our recent election, several positions locally and statewide have resulted in a run-off on December 8, 2018 and I encourage you all to continue to get to know your candidates and to again exercise your right to vote. Regarding the Lafourche Parish Solid Waste proposition, our Chamber took a stance against the matter and the proposition failed. Moving forward, we are committed to working with Lafourche Parish Government and our other elected officials to determine how we can best move Lafourche Parish forward without the need for additional taxation. Any member wishing to be involved in our Governmental and Public Affairs

committee, our any of our committees, can visit www.thibodauxchamber.com for meeting dates and times. For more information on the December 8, 2018 election, you can visit www.geauxvote.com or download the Geaux Vote app on your mobile device.

TIMOTHY BUSHLouisiana’s Cajun Bayou, Lafourche Parish

Brrr!! It’s officially gumbo season in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou! Gumbo is easy to find all year, but locals really rev up their gumbo pots when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. We want you to taste all the gumbo goodness our Cajun Bayou Food Trail has to offer so we rounded up our top picks and a few of the MANY spots to grab a bowl (or two.)

Up the Bayou Spahr’s Seafood Spahr’s Seafood has three locations in Lafourche Parish so it’s not hard to stop in and try a cup. Their seafood gumbo is packed with loads of crab meat and shrimp and features a dark, flavorful roux. While this gumbo is super flavorful, it’s not overly spicy so if you like the heat, add some hot sauce. Politz’s Located in Thibodaux, Politz’s seafood gumbo is thick and rich with a lighter roux base. This is the spot if you like your gumbo on the spicy side. Chicken and sausage or seafood gumbo is always on the daily menu.

Down the Bayou Kajun Twist The seafood gumbo at Kajun Twist in Galliano is unique with a base that begins with browning onions down instead of cooking a roux. But if you think you’ll miss the roux, think again. It’s a rich and hearty gumbo with plentiful helpings of large Gulf shrimp and half a crab filled with meat and flavor in every bowl. Cher-Amie’s Head to Cher-Amie’s in Cut Off for a more traditional Cajun style gumbo just like Maw-Maw would make. This one is rich with a dark base and has lots deep flavor with every bite. Unlike most seafood gumbos, you’ll find savory sausage in this recipe. And don’t forget to order it with a side of creamy potato salad. Getting on the Trail is easy! Head over to www.lacajunbayou.com to download your map and passport and start eating!

Best Gumbo Spots on the Cajun Bayou Food TrailTOMMY ESCHETE

City of Thibodaux Mayor

As we prepare for the holiday season the importance of family and community in our lives tends to come to the forefront. We here in Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish have been blessed with that special feeling not only during the holidays, but every day in our lives. It’s what makes the people of Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish the special caring people that we are.

Although most of my articles during our first eight years in office have focused on municipal issues and the importance of your participation in your City government, I want to take this opportunity to remind you of things we can do during the upcoming year to make our community an even more special place to live and raise our families.

I have read many articles concerning participation in government, but I ran across this simple list that I felt was most impressive and direct. So here it goes…………. • Volunteer to be active in your community • Be honest and trustworthy • Follow rules and laws • Respect the rights of others • Be informed about the world around you • Respect the property of others • Be compassionate • Take responsibility for your actions • Be a good neighbor • Protect your environment

If you take time to think about all of these actions, you can easily see that if we all took the time to live these out, our world and community would have fewer unpleasant issues to address each and every day. I am sure that I could expound on each and every item in the list, but they are so basic that they certainly speak for themselves.

Although most of our citizens can say that they live by many of the items listed, I’m sure that we have been laxed in at least one of the items on the list. If each of us makes it a point to improve our focus concerning at least one of the items, we will make our community an even more special and caring place to live.

In closing I want to share this quote with you in that it simply conveys what a “good person” means to me.

“There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They have the gift of kindness or courage or loyalty or integrity. It really matters very little whether they are behind the wheel of a truck or running a business or bringing up a family. They teach the truth by living it.”

– James Garfield (1831–1881)

On behalf of the Thibodaux City Council and all our City Employees, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy and Holy Thanksgiving!

THIBODAUX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

AWARDED 4-STAR ACCREDITATION BY U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Great news! The Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that after a comprehensive self-review, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has awarded us with 4-Star Accreditation. This prestigious honor puts us among the top 3% of chambers nationwide. “The Chamber is honored to receive this designation and credits the involvement of our volunteers, our membership and the support of our entire community for this distinction,” says Tammy Ledet, President/CEO, Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce. “We are looking forward to continuing to serve our members and the community we love at the highest possible level.” This past year, the staff, board, and volunteers of The Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce spent countless hours completing the Accreditation process. Our task: demonstrate competency in 9 core areas ranging from finance to facilities. The result of our hard-work is evidenced by this impressive rating. But in truth, we should all be extraordinarily proud of this milestone achievement. It was a true team effort. The only national program recognizing chambers for their effective organizational procedures and community involvement, Accreditation allows us to renew, improve, and promote sound business practices, policies, and procedures. Local chambers are rated Accredited, 3-Stars, 4-Stars, or 5-Stars. State chambers are recognized as either Accredited State Chamber or Accredited State Chamber with Distinction. The final determination is made by the Accrediting Board, a committee of U.S. Chamber board members and chamber executives from across the country. For details, please contact Tammy Ledet at 985-446-1187 or www.thibodauxchamber.com and click on the 4-Star Accreditation logo.

Nicholls State University is excited to announce the public launch of Nicholls Forward, a new fundraising initiative aimed at ensuring the stability and success of Nicholls and its students, now and in the future. “This is a pivotal moment for our campus,” said Dr. Jay Clune, Nicholls president. “I believe this campaign will help advance Nicholls’ position as a top-tier regional university that benefits communities not only in the Bayou Region but also in Louisiana.” The year-long push has set a goal of $700,000, which will go toward sustaining campus facilities, campus beautification, faculty development and resources, student scholarships and emergency costs. “This is going to be a challenging goal to reach, but with more than 40,000 living alumni and even more community support, I believe it’s one we can achieve,” said Jeremy Becker, executive director of the Nicholls Foundation. “This is exciting because it’s an ambitious campaign with ambitious goals that will benefit every member of this campus.” Dr. Clune has embarked on a campus beautification initiative since taking office in January, having already targeted Ellender Memorial Library, Bollinger Memorial Student Union, Babbington Hall and the Nicholls Greenhouse as facilities in need of renovation or maintenance. Despite declining or stagnant levels of

state funding, Nicholls enrollment has grown each of the past three years and is poised to continue its growth to Dr. Clune’s goal of 10,000 students. Additional scholarships can help Nicholls recruit students who may not otherwise be able to afford the cost of higher education. “Our students need access to modern facilities that will maximize their quality of life and enhance their academic potential,” Dr. Clune said. “By supporting Nicholls Forward, you are helping ensure that Nicholls continues to provide an education like no other at an affordable cost.“ This fundraiser will also make sure students continue to receive the best instruction from the best instructors by providing funds to individual colleges to be used to send professors to conferences across the country as well bolster their classroom with modern technology. Aligning with Nicholls 70th anniversary, donors are encouraged to donate $70 per month over the next 10 months, Becker said. “This campaign will give our alumni and our donors an opportunity to help tell the story of how Nicholls impacts South Louisiana,” Becker said. “I encourage you to join us as we move Nicholls Forward together.” For more information on how you can get involved, visit nichollsfoundation.org/nichollsforward.


Nicholls State University Announces Nicholls Forward FundraisingCampaign

DR. JAY CLUNENicholls State University President

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been one year since I took on the role as president of Nicholls State University. This year will always have a special place in my heart. From watching our women’s basketball team reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever, to presiding over my first commencement, to watching my oldest daughter graduate, to the creation of the Colonels Retention of Winners Network. I guess it’s true what they say, time really does fly when you’re having fun.

There are so many people I want to thank for helping my first year go by so smoothly, my wife, Allison, for being my partner, my biggest supporter, and my calming influence; my daughter Caroline for making the transition to a new town and new school with limited complaints; my vice presidents Alex Arceneaux, Dr. Sue Westbrook, Mr. Terry Braud, Dr. Eugene Dial and Mr. Matt Roan; the President's Office staff Jenny Schexnayder and Cathy Arcement. I would also like to thank all of you, in my Thibodaux and University communities who welcomed me and my family into yours.. I also want to thank the members of our community who stepped up in their support of Nicholls when we have needed it the most. People like Charlotte Bollinger, Lester Bimah, Benny Cenac and Marie Falgoust. Their charity toward Nicholls doesn’t get enough recognition.

Of course, none of us would be here without the students, and I’m proud of the work we have done this semester that has benefitted them. Through my Investiture Gala and our Sponsor A-plus Scholars Food and Wine Tasting Extravaganza, we were able to raise money for our Bridge to Independence Program and for student scholarships. We’re also raising money now for more scholarships as part of the Nicholls Forward campaign. I know I used this space last month to pitch Nicholls Forward, but I cannot stress its importance to the future of the university. Our students and our faculty need your support. Visit nichollsfoundation.org/nichollsforward/ to see how you can join the movement.

If you’re looking for something to do with the family over this holiday break, I encourage you to check out a Nicholls basketball game. Our women will host William Carey at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 21. Our men will host Mobile at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22 and Campbellsville Harrodsburg at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 29.

Dystopian Art To Be On Display InNicholls Student Exhibit The Nicholls State University Department of Art invites you to view student artwork depicting dystopia - a society faced with a cataclysmic decline, a tyrannical government or collapse - in the annual Kappa Pi Themed Exhibition. The exhibit will run from now until Nov. 2 in the

Ameen Art Gallery in Talbot Hall and from Nov. 5 to Dec. 7 at the Chauvin Sculpture Garden Art Studio. The theme “Dystopia” was selected by a vote of the Kappa Pi chapter members. Artworks submitted to the exhibition must in some way address the theme to be eligible for inclusion. A total

of 44 students, some not art majors, submitted work to the exhibition. Famous examples of dystopia are George Orwell’s “1984” and Aldous Huxley's “Brave New World.” “I would encourage people

THIBODAUX PLAYHOUSE:“EXPANDING THE ARTS, ENHANCING THE EXPERIENCE”

Founded in 1960 as a non-profit community theatre, Thibodaux Playhouse is dedicated to the planning, promotion, and production of plays for the citizens of Thibodaux and surrounding areas. Over its 59 year history, Thibodaux Playhouse has produced over 250 plays and performed at various local venues including Nicholls State University and Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center Theatre. On July 11, 2013, Mayor Tommy Eschete proclaimed Thibodaux Playhouse, Inc. Thibodaux's official community theatre. Managed by an elected Board of Directors and supported through the dedication of its volunteers, Thibodaux Playhouse produces three straight plays and one musical per season. The Playhouse additionally hosts two children’s musical workshop productions through its outreach program, TPI, Jr., and unveiled its newest outreach effort, an annual field trip production for tri-parish area students, in February, 2017. Now in its 59th year, Thibodaux Playhouse owes its longevity within the community to the vision of its charter members and to the dedication and support of countless volunteers and patrons throughout its lifespan. Thibodaux Playhouse continues to work with community members to ensure that the art of theatre will remain an active and vibrant part of the Thibodaux area. Over its history, Thibodaux Playhouse has produced over 200 plays and performed at various venues including Nicholls State University (1960-67), the Old Park Inn Restaurant (1967-73), the Old Dixie Movie Theatre (1973-83), and the Percy-Lobdell Building (1983-92). That building became part of the Martha Sowell Utley Memorial Community Center and, later, a Branch of the National Park Service. Thibodaux Playhouse has been the principal resident of the Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center Theatre, a part of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve, since 1992. The bulk of its planning and ensuing rehearsals, however, take place off site at Thibodaux Playhouse Headquarters located at 1120 Caroline Street. The Thibodaux Playhouse Children's Summer Theatre Workshop began in 1982 thanks to three culturally-minded women: Sheela Plater, Angela

Hammerli, and Kay Franz. Thirty-one years later, in 2013, the workshop was expanded to include a spring production and was affectionately renamed Thibodaux Playhouse, Jr. Thibodaux Playhouse, Jr. encourages area youth to embrace the performing arts while providing an educational environment that fosters creativity in children aged 7-15 years. Each child participates in the entire process of staging a theatrical production. Low-income youth, as well as, youth with learning challenges and/or physical handicaps are fully accommodated. As was originally intended by its founders, productions and rehearsals still involve adult volunteers with committees dedicated to sets, props, costumes, make-up, ticket sales, and cast party.

Children from the City of Thibodaux and the surrounding communities of: Schriever, Gray, Napoleonville, Chackbay, Vacherie, Raceland, Lockport, Cut-Off, and Houma often comprise the 25-30 member cast for the spring production and the 55-60 member cast for the summer production. Children's theatre in Thibodaux took root in 1982 and has blossomed into a shared conservatory of experiences for area youth and an increasing number of patrons who have come to enjoy the Playhouse's contribution to the performing arts. In keeping with its vision to “EXPAND THE ARTS and ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE”, and under the guidance of board member Daphne Hernandez, the Playhouse

see how students interpret the word dystopia, and all of the meanings it has in contemporary culture,” said Ross Jahnke, art professor and exhibitions coordinator. “Some art is a very literal interpretation of the word, while other pieces take a more tangential approach. Unlike the Annual Student Exhibition in the spring, which is for art majors only, and for art produced in art classes, this is a chance to see what students will do on their own.” A reception and awards ceremony will take place from 3 to 5 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 31, at the Ameen Art Gallery. Both exhibitions are free and open to

the public. Kappa Pi is an International Art Honor Society founded in 1911, with chapters throughout the world. Zeta Alpha Zeta is the Nicholls Chapter of Kappa Pi, and has been active for over 15 years. Zeta Alpha Zeta members sponsor this annual themed exhibition as well as participate in numerous extracurricular activities each year, such as Nicholls Can, Shark after Dark, Artworks, Welcome Back Day and High School Day.

Nicholls online English DegreeReceives Top 5 Ranking ForAffordability Nicholls State University’s online English degree has been ranked one of the most affordable by an online education resource. Nicholls degree was ranked No. 5 by SR Education Group, who considered the tuition rates of every accredited college offering fully online degrees to determine and rank the most affordable options. The results were published on onlineu.org.The 2019 rankings looked at 861 schools across the nation to find schools committed to providing the most economical options for students. Nicholls was the only school in Louisiana to be ranked in the top 25. “I think this new ranking indicates

that we have an outstanding academic program that is also affordable,” said Dr. Ellen Barker, department of language and literature chair. “We have remained in the top seven, often in first and second place, for affordability in the last few years, so it is rewarding to maintain that ranking in this category.” Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Washington, SR Education Group provides online resources to help prospective college students find the education that best suits their budget and career aspirations. The group provides over $250,000 annually in scholarships.

Marguerite chose to live in Thibodaux because it was a great place to raise her children. “Thibodaux benefits greatly from the vibrancy and cultural activities that come from being a college town, along with being a very safe community to live in,” said Marguerite.

“My favorite part of Thibodaux has to be the rich history and Cajun culture of our community along with the natural beauty of Bayou Lafourche and the friendliness of the residents here. We are so very fortunate to have an outstanding university and healthcare facilities right here in town.”

As Senior Vice President and a Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley, Marguerite states that, “Our commitment to building, preserving and managing the wealth of our clients forms the foundation of everything we do. Since our founding in 1935, Morgan Stanley has consistently delivered first-class business in a first-class way. Our four core values

define not only our success, but who we are: Putting Clients First; Doing the Right Thing; Leading with Exceptional Ideas; and Giving Back.”

Marguerite’s day begins with reviewing the market and watching trends, along with implementing changes necessary. “A typical day would consist of meeting with clients, carrying out any directives from the meetings and ending the day or evening with a community function or workout at the Thibodaux Wellness Center.”

Besides her career as a Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley, Marguerite is also a certified antique and personal property appraiser who enjoys researching extraordinary pieces. Outside of the office, Marguerite loves spending time with family and friends. “We enjoy traveling, discovering new culinary venues, and board games. I have made such great friends through the Thibodaux Chamber and we have become close and truly enjoy spending time together.”

Marguerite said that the connections she has made throughout the entire community is her favorite part about being a Chamber member. As for three tips to be successful, Marguerite suggests writing down your goals. “Be healthy, get the dream job, live the dream life, make a certain amount of money, start a family – If you truly want to pursue these goals you need to start taking actions consciously. What actions can I make today that will change everything and take me closer to this goal?” She also recommended creating a powerful belief system. “Believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to say it. Stand out, be determined, and people will respect you for having the guts for going after what you desire.” Finally, Marguerite recommends investing in yourself. “Eat good food, study, learn a new skill, have an uncomfortable conversation at least once a day – the more you condition yourself to have those types of conversations, the easier life will become. Learn at least one new thing everyday.”

MARGUERITE KNIGHTPAST CHAMBER CHAIRWOMAN

expanded its programming in February 2017 to include an annual field trip production for PreK-4th grade students from Lafourche, Terrebonne, and Assumption Parish public and private schools. By staging theatrical adaptations of Louisiana-based children's stories, the Playhouse immerses local elementary students in Louisiana history and culture while increasing access, participation, knowledge, and exposure to the performing arts for area youth. Thirty-four public and private elementary schools exist within a twenty-three mile tri-parish radius from the theater. The majority of these schools receive federal funds to support the education of high-poverty, at risk, migrant, limited English proficient, Native American, and homeless/transitional students. The Playhouse impacted over 2,000 students, almost all for the very first time ever seeing a live theater event, from 20 area schools during the two-week span of its November 2017 production of An Acadian Thanksgiving, an original three-act stage play written and promoted by Early Childhood teacher and Playhouse volunteer Daphne Hernandez. Directing its promotional efforts to the elementary schools located within this 23-mile radius, the Playhouse

can potentially accommodate an estimated 3,000 elementary school students during the two week span of its upcoming February, 2019 field trip production. The next production is called “Christmas Bells” set to open November 30th. Here is a little about the play…A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink, and Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood. A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink, recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But things are not looking too promising: Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus—played by Frankie's long-suffering husband, Dub—is passing a kidney

stone. One of the shepherds refuses to watch over his flock by night without pulling his little red wagon behind him. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters' Pancake Supper. And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades, all hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding

sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!

As of November 4, 2018, the sugar harvest for our area is about 37.6% complete. Sugar recovery per ton at the mills is about 217 lbs. of sugar per ton of cane. This is 21 lbs. less per ton than last year however, the tons of cane harvested per acre is about 4 tons/acre more. This year’s sugarcane grinding season got off to a wet start on September 28, 2018, with Raceland Sugars. On October 4, 2018, Lafourche Sugars began grinding cane. The harvest conditions are much less than ideal. Excessive rains from July to present are causing growers to harvest cane that is not mature. Some of it has no ripener, and some of it is later maturing cane but is being harvested now because it is on sandier land which is easier to harvest under wet conditions than heavy clay soils. In addition with wet weather, more mud and trash is brought to the mill which reduces the effectiveness of the mill to extract all of the sugar from the cane. This is the reason for the 21 pound decrease in sugar per ton from last year. In addition, only about 70% of the crop has been planted as of November 4th. This means over 2,000 acres have not been planted in our area. Dryer, cooler weather would benefit harvesting and increase the sugar content of the cane and possibly allowing growers to plant more acres of cane. Planting in November is not the best situation but acres need to be planted so as to lessen the total number the acres to be planted next year. Cool weather stops the cane from growing. When cane is not growing, it accumulates sugar, sometimes as much as 1 lb. per ton of cane per day. The dry weather is beneficial for several reasons. First, when cane fields are dry the heavy equipment used to harvest the cane does not make ruts in the fields. These ruts hold water in the field and will rot the stubble cane that will make next year’s crop. Second, dry harvest conditions allow the farmers to do a better job of cleaning the shucks off the cane before it goes to the sugar mill. Sugarcane growers also deliver less mud to the mill when fields

are dry. Lastly, dry conditions allow the sugar mills to be more efficient at removing the sugar from the cane. The juice has fewer impurities in it and will improve the process used to crystalize the sugar. Before the harvest season starts, each sugarcane grower is given a quota of cane that they can haul to the mill each day. A grower’s quota is based on the size of his farm. Growers work hard to deliver their quota of c a n e each day because for each day missed, that is cane that will have to be delivered later in the harvest season. The harvest season usually lasts 100 days with no weekend breaks or holidays. All sugarcane harvested in our area is harvested with a combine harvester. The combine harvester cuts the cane stalks into billets that are 8 to 10 inches long. Some combines can be set to cut different length billets. The combine replaced the whole stalk soldier harvester for cutting cane to be sent to the mill. However, the soldier harvester is still used to cut whole stalks to be planted. Research has shown that planting whole stalks produces a better stand of cane than planting with billets. Sugarcane growers are harvesting 8 different varieties of cane. Each variety has advantages. Some are early-maturing, meaning they start to accumulate sugar earlier than other varieties. Others are more tolerant of sugarcane borers. These varieties are planted near subdivisions, schools and other sensitive areas to reduce the need to apply pesticides. Some of these varieties grow better in heavy soil and some are better in sandy soil. There is a variety for nearly every situation. The USDA research station in Houma

and the LSU AgCenter Sugar Station in St. Gabriel

are continually developing and testing new varieties.

When the sugar harvest begins, growers harvest cane in a particular order when

possible. The first cane harvested is the cane that is growing in the heavier clay soils. Growers try to harvest this early, if the weather is dry. If the season is rainy, tractors get stuck, more mud is hauled to the mill and it slows down the harvest. If the heavy, clay soil is too wet, it goes unharvested. Next, growers try to harvest ripener-treated cane. The ripener stops the cane from growing so it is usually higher in sugar. Sometimes growers will harvest all cane on a particular tract of land, whether it is treated with a ripener, in heavy soil or light soil. Lastly, under optimum conditions, older stubble is harvested first and plant cane is harvested last. The logic behind this is that the earlier cane is harvested, the weaker it will be the following year. As mentioned previously, cool, dry weather greatly enhances the harvest season. When these conditions exist, growers are able to follow their harvest schedule without much deviation. In spite of what it may appear, there is a time-tested system to harvesting sugarcane that has served this industry well for over 200 years.

RYAN PERQUEDirector of Friends of Bayou Lafourche

If you live or work in Lafourche parish, you are bound to drive along or across Bayou Lafourche several times a day. Naturally, many of us have become immune to and take for granted this critical waterway which brought our ancestors to this region. So what do we need Bayou Lafourche for today? In addition to providing critical freshwater to wetlands, our region relies on the bayou as a source of drinking water. 300,000 people across Lafourche, Ascension, Assumption, and Terrebonne Parishes depend on Bayou Lafourche for when we turn on our sink or flush the toilet. If the bayou goes dry tomorrow, the water-treatment plants that you receive your tap water from will have no way of providing you with water. That is almost as scary as losing Wi-Fi… So what is being done to make sure that we always have treatable water in the Bayou? That’s where the Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District comes in. We can classify their work into three categories: 1) Pumping: The BLFWD’s pumping station in Donaldsonville pumps approximately 400 cubic feet (or 2,992 gallons) of water per second into Bayou Lafourche from the Mississippi River. That’s equivalent to about 391 Olympic size swimming pools per day. (My high school math teacher would be proud of me for that calculation). A new station is currently being designed that would triple that amount. 2) Clearing Obstructions: Crews work in the bayou on a daily basis to clear obstructions and vegetation in order to provide treatable water to the treatment plants. 3) Low Water Level Prevention: In rare cases, the water level in the bayou can drop enough to cause problems for the treatment facilities along the bayou.

To reduce this problem, the BLFWD operates the water control structure in Lockport. By closing the structure, it creates a temporary reservoir on the up-current side which holds water levels high enough for the treatment plants. The Lockport Water Control Structure was closed for a few days last winter during the freeze and successfully served its purpose. An additional structure to be placed in Napoleonville is currently in design and has funding allocated. After this structure is erected, the dreadful weir in Thibodaux can finally come out. Maybe we’ll ask the Chamber to host a ribbon cutting before the wrecking ball swings!

VICTORIA SAGRERARestore or Retreat

On Thursday, October 11, Restore or Retreat (ROR) hosted another Working for Our Coast event with a new twist! Veering from our previous Working for Our Coast events, ROR gave focus to the upcoming generation that is tasked with saving our coast, community, and culture in the face of Louisiana’s exponential land loss rates. With the support of Chevron, Restore or Retreat introduced nearly 1,000 Terrebonne Parish 11th graders to the current state of our coast and related career options surrounding coastal research, protection, restoration, functionality, and resiliency. Eleventh grade students from Ellender Memorial High School, H. L. Bourgeois High School, South Terrebonne High School, and Terrebonne High School began the day at Fletcher Technical Community College with a welcome introduction to the event from Parish President Gordon Dove and and to the coast by Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA). All 857 student participants received a folder containing helpful tools and resources for a successful future, such as a resume template, soft skills guide, information on admissions to both Fletcher and Nicholls State University, and further details on Restore or Retreat and CPRA. Following the introduction, students had the opportunity to explore coastal careers by listening to a mix of over fourteen guest speakers in the areas of engineering, design, construction, biology, geomatics, government, and journalism. The message of coastal awareness and significance was evident throughout all speaker

presentations, and continued into the outdoor exhibit area where local organizations and businesses provided more insight into coastal careers from perspectives of distinguished professionals. Exhibits ranged from informational to hands-on with surveying technology and a Lafourche Parish airboat. Among the folder of resources was a stamp card for each student to complete by visiting exhibitor tables and providing feedback on the event; upon completion, the students’ cards were placed in a drawing for a prize. Before being bussed back to school, each student enjoyed lunch in the beautiful weather thanks to the help of the Callais Family Fund. The future of our communities depend upon the next generation’s commitment to saving our coast, restoring what was lost, and protecting what still stands. Through our Working for Our Coast event, Restore or Retreat provided the first steps in connecting these students to coastal career opportunities, and sparked an interest in these students to become and remain involved in local efforts to better our coast.
