Do you Feel Safe, Retired DA Falterman asks
From his luxurious camp on Grand Isle or from his CPA offices in Napoleonville or Thibodaux or from his Mortgage Company offices in Paincourtville or Thibodaux, or even in New York City when he’s puttingtogether a business deal, Mike Waguespack can see what is going on in the sheriff’s office in Napoleonville. He has a high tech security system (very expensive) where he can monitor in and around the office from literally anywhere, this I was told. Too bad it wasn’t installed in the Labadieville office where all of the evidence is stored! More.....

Happy Fourth of July -- but be careful
Sheriffs in three parishes urge caution over the extended holiday
All fireworks vendors must be permitted with the parish. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 10 or anyone who is intoxicated or impaired to purchase fireworks. It is also illegal to explode or ignite fireworks within one thousand feet (1,000') of any church, hospital, asylum, public school or within seventy-five feet (75') of where fireworks are stored, sold or offered for sale. Anyone who ignites or discharges fireworks from within or throws fireworks from a motor vehicle or throws any ignited article of fireworks into a motor vehicle could be charged.Parents often believe that a firework that packs a powerful explosive punch is the most dangerous. But according to the National Council on Fireworks Safety, sparklers account for 16% of the injuries among children and fireworks. Because sparklers are considered a “safer” firework, younger children tend to be injured. Sheriff Webre urges parents to follow the following guidelines for a safe Fourth of July:
· Never let a child under 12 play with sparklers without adult supervision· Never let a child hold more than one lit sparkler at a time· Always have a bucket of water nearby for all fireworks use· Sparkler wires remain hot long after they go out. Be sure to discard all used sparklers in a bucket of water· Never let a child run with a lit sparkler· Be sure to show a child how to properly hold the sparkler at arms length · Always hand the unlit sparkler to a child first, then light it· Light all fireworks outside
