Dosomething about it. Run.’”After successfully campaigning for the seat ofParish President, Nungesser transferred that initialintensity into his work. Tohear Nungesser tell it, heput everything into the position, often at the expenseof time with his family andhis own personal health.“I take every problempersonally,” he said, noting that the position led tohim making poor dietarydecisions and frequentlysleeping in his office. “[Theparish] was my baby.”It’s not as if PresidentNungesser was makingmountains out of molehills. He assumed the topoffice in a parish that wasstill reeling from Hurricane Katrina and steered itthrough several hurricanesand the single largest oilspill in history. On a smaller scale, the parish facedthe spectre of saltwaterintrusion rendering drinking water unpotable andthreats to the citrus industry from disease and pests.“I don’t wish what Iwent through on anyone,”Nungesser said.In spite of all these challenges, Nungesser was ableto complete several projects that he is proud of inhis eight-year tenure. Hepoints to the communitycenters built throughoutthe parish as his crowningachievement.NUNGESSER– PAGE 2LaYaYa celebrates14 Years of GivingBy Alex Galbraithreporter@plaqueminesgazette.comJacob Lewis of BelleChasse was only sixyears old when hecame up with the ideathat became LaYaYa ArtConservatory’sannual Christmas party.

Without even being asked to doso, they have now provided a means to our YMCA BelleChasse facility to meet this community need. Thank youPhillips 66 for your generosity,” said YMCA of Greater NewOrleans’ President and Chief Executive Officer GordonWadge.According to Alliance Refinery Public Affairs Representative Melissa Ory, Phillips 66 employees were confrontedwith the lack of a safe running space regularly as they traveled through Belle Chasse on their way to and from work.“We can see the people running along Highway 23 andthe roads in their neighborhoods,” said Ory, adding thatpromoting safety is a priority for the Parish’s largest employer.That point was echoed by Refinery Manager Greg Luchessi.“One of our key company values is to improve livesthrough a deep commitment to the communities wherewe live and work. With our utmost focus always on safety,this donation enables us to live out our values within Alliance’s hometown of Belle Chasse, while providing a traffic-free outdoor space for our neighbors to enjoy walkingand jogging,” he said.The 100,000 grant is just the latest donation that therefinery has made to the Belle Chasse YMCA. In 2013, therefinery granted 500,000 for the building of a new gymnasium at the site. That project is expected to be completedin 2016.PPSO Spreads Holiday CheerLocal ToyGiveawayEmbodiesthe Spirit ofChristmasBy Shea Drakereporter@plaqueminesgazette.comSheriff Lonnie Greco with brother and sister, Trevelle Bivalacqua and Amire Robinson.By Alex Galbraithreporter@plaqueminesgazette.comThe Plaquemines Parish Sherriff’s Office hasspent the month of December providing giftsand assistance for families in need throughoutthe parish.On the first weekendof December, SheriffLonnie Greco and members of the PPSO distributed toys to underprivileged children residingthroughout PlaqueminesParish as part of the Toysfor Smiles program.The program, now inits 20th year, is run bythe PPSO and distributesnearly 500 gifts a year.“There is nothingmore rewarding thanspreading a little holiday cheer throughoutthe community and seeing the smile on a child’sface when they receive agift,” said Greco.The PPSO also helpedother programs thatserveunderprivilegedchildren during the holiday season. The PPSOmade a large donationof gifts to the LaYaYaArtConservatory’sChristmas drive, whichSheriff Greco about to load gifts in a recipient’s vehicle.Photos by Eric Becnelworks toward fulfillingthe Christmas wishlistsof children in Plaquemines. Greco went tothe program’s annualparty to help distributethe gifts.However, the PPSOwas far from done. Theyalso “adopted” an entire family that movedinto the parish aftertheir home in Slidellburned down. The family, which includes twostudents at Belle ChassePrimary, have movedin with parents whilethey tried to get back ontheir feet.After learning of theirneeds, Public Information Officer Eric Becnelsent word around thePPSO. Through the donations of officers andother community members, they were able toprovide the family withclothing, school uniforms, bedding, toys, bicycles and money to gotoward bills.“We really do careabout those who weserve and protect,” Becnel wrote in an inter-office email provided tothe Gazette. “I am veryproud of all of you.”Fresh Breath of Lifenon-profitorganizationhosted their third annualtoy giveaway on Saturday,December 13 at their community center on OakvilleStreet.

That’s not a community center, that’s a hall,” said Nungesser. We were able to create four really great spaces for the community to cometogether.”Parish residents shouldn’t make the mistake ofthinking Nungesser is sitting around reflecting in hisfinal days in office. Nungesser is regularly meetingwith the incoming administration and council members to ensure that projects started on his watch continue to move forward.Of particular interest to Nungesser are three projects which, taken together, will be a boon for the parish’s oil industry. Nungesser hopes that the dredgingof Baptiste Collete Bayou, the building of a bypassroad around Belle Chasse and the construction of avegetated ridge for flood protection outside the leveesnear Fort Jackson will attract the oil industry to thesouthern end of the parish.“It’s 71 miles from Venice to the Eastern Gulf, fromMississippi it’s 120 miles,” said Nungesser. “If we putin these projects to make it easier for companies tooperate out of the end of the parish, you’re going tosee Venice explode.”In the end, Nungesser says he wants to be remembered as someone who did “everything that was physically possible to make the parish a better place.”to get for Christmas,” said Lewis.“And there was this kid I saw whowas kind of in raggedy clothes andwhen we asked him what he wasgetting, he said ‘nothing.’”Lewis was shocked by the ideathat someone could go throughChristmas without a single present.He went to his mother, LaYaYa Director Joannie Hughes, and asked ifhe could give any gifts that Santawould bring to him to his classmate.“He was really worried and itjust about broke my heart,” saidHughes.Hughes, along with her son andhis friends, secretly went to theclassmate’s house and left presentsand an artificial tree on their frontporch.Now an official event, Hughesenlists the help of her students foreverything from finding familiesin need to hosting the party in elfattire. Students bolster donationsby selling artwork and chipping inmoney they earn doing odd jobs.Lewis chips in where he can andonly accepts one present a yearfrom his mother so that any excesscan go toward donations.“The kids work all year round tomake sure that the event is a success,” said Hughes.Much like Lewis did 14 yearsago, current LaYaYa students oftenbring Hughes the names of classmates they believe might be inneed. Hughes also sources namesvia parish social workers.Hughes contacts parents whoend up on her radar to meet withthem and determine where theirgreatest need is during the holidayseason, oftentimes leaving with awishlist of presents that the families would not be able to afford.The scale of LaYaYa’s present donations have grown along with theconservatory. This year saw LaYaYafulfilling the needs of 122 Plaquemines Parish children across 42families.Hughes believes that the program benefits her students, as wellas families in need.“A lot of kids don’t understandwhat need truly is. This helps themTOY GIVEAWAYCONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGEThe Plaquemines Parish Fire Department held a Christmas celebration at therecently opened Belle Chasse Fire Station on December 20. Children fromaround the parish were able to meet Santa and Sparky the Fire Dog, make artsand crafts and tour the station.Miller and Sias advertised the toy giveaway as an event open to the public.There were no financial stipulations forchildren and their family members to attend.Miller believes all children regardlessof their standing on the economic tiershould have access to the toy giveaway.The organization wanted to focus solelyon the spirit of Christmas, which was giving.“All children enjoy receiving gifts,”stated Miller. “You don’t give a child astigmatism based on lack or abundanceof financial resources.”The giveaway was a success thanks tolocal business owners, community leaders, and residents who donated money,time, and talents. Newly elected Councilman Charlie Burt was in attendance.Approximately, 150 toys were givenaway and 24 bikes raffled. With multiplechildren in families, parents were graciousenough to give up their tickets if one oftheir children won a bike.

Lastly, Carl Ceritaplaced third as a winner of 25.Although Miller and Sias were quiteintentional focusing on the true spirit ofChristmas for the annual toy giveaway, itappears that giving is the essence of whatthey do throughout the year in the livesof youth in Plaquemines parish.The organization is tutoring, mentoring, and taking youth in the communityon field trips year round. They especially want to thank Judge Michael Clementand the Department of Youth and FamilyServices in Plaquemines Parish for providing transportation.Giving back to the parish is at the heartof Fresh Breath of Life non-profit organization.If you are interested in learning moreabout Fresh Breath of Life non-profit organization for tutoring, mentoring, or community space for meetings, contact JeanMiller at 504.656.2372 or 504.458.3172.You can also go to www.freshbreathoflife.net for more information.PLAQUEMINES PARISH SCHOOL SYSTEMTOWN HALL MEETINGPERCY GRIFFIN COMMUNITY CENTERTUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 20156:30 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.TOPIC: NEW HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS& JUMP START CAREER PATHWAYSWILL YOUR CHILD BE COLLEGE & CAREER READY?AUDIENCE: MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL PARENTSAND INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS

Many in the parish don’t recognize Frank’s Island lighthouse by name but remember either seeing themarble dedication plate or the metal historical marker inthe Fort Jackson museum (above left) or perhaps they remember seeing the top of the lighthouse sticking abovethe water off Passe-a-Loutre near Northeast Pass, southeast of Pilottown (above right). It was the first permanentlighthouse on the Mississippi River. It lasted nearly 200years and did not come down until Hurricane Katrina.Unlike most modern coastal lighthouses, Frank’s Island lighthouse was made of bricks. The architect, famousBenjamin Latrobe, fresh from designing the nation’s capitol building in Washington DC was assigned the task ofbuilding this lighthouse by President Thomas Jefferson.Latrobe built a large lighthouse surrounded by many columns similar in architecture to buildings in WashingtonDC. Unfortunately the massive lighthouse was too heavyfor the soft delta mud and the foundation failed. Thestory becomes complicated and Jay Reidl, an expert onFrank’s Island lighthouse, will explain what his researchshows really happened. Though Jay lives in Lafayette,he was originally from St. Bernard Parish and attendedschool in Belle Chasse.Reidl’s presentation on Frank’s Island lighthouse willbe held at the Belle Chasse American Legion Hall, 102Hunt Street on Tuesday, January 6.
