BSEE proposes revisions to Well Control Rule

Wed, 05/16/2018 - 9:07am Eunice News

Some recent editorials and news stories have falsely characterized regulatory review efforts currently underway at the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, apparently without having actually read the proposed revisions. One editorial in the Houston Chronicle expressed worries that many, including the U.S. Government and our agency, commonly referred to as BSEE, might have forgotten the lessons of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy and other offshore incidents. For the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement nothing could be further from the truth.

From high school to the Super Bowl

Even though the Saints didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, at least a coach with Louisiana ties won it all.
After the Philadelphia Eagles stunned the football world by beating the reigning champs New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl 52, the announcer pointed out the fact that nine years ago head coach Doug Pederson was a high school coach.
In fact, he was the head football coach of the Calvary Baptist Academy Cavaliers in Shreveport.
He was hired there in 2005 after spending 10 years in the NFL and three season in the World League of American Football.

Sports and community build unity

There are two men that I will always remember for how much they loved their community and wanted to see the best in people – Tony Fuselier and Tim Fontenot.
Thursday night at the Joe Nagata Memorial Jamboree the football fans there honored the memory of founding chairman Tony Fuselier.
Tony was the man behind the idea of Eunice High and St. Edmund joining together for a jamboree to show respect for coach Nagata.
This year is the fifth annual Nagata jamboree and the stadium had Blue Jays and Bobcats roaming the sidelines.

I worked on my first football special section back in 1996.
Just like ever other of the preseasons, I begam this trek the early morning of July 31 as the Basile Bearcats joined together for media day photos.
The journey continued around the tri-parish area as I visited Iota, Church Point, Eunice High and Mamou before my final stop at St. Edmund.
Every team has high hopes heading into the football season with the plan to win their respective districts and make a deep run in the playoffs.

Bama still the best in SEC West

Wed, 08/16/2017 - 2:33pm Tom Dodge

This is the final preview of the SEC football teams:
The Alabama Crimson Tide’s plan is to be in the SEC title game every season.
Alabama is 7-4 in the SEC championship game, including a three-game winning streak.
The Tide’s path to the football playoff series begins in Atlanta against Florida State.
The opener is one of three predicted tough games on Alabama’s schedule.
A loss against the Seminoles just puts a little mreo pressure on Alabma not to lose another game.
