Sixty-five miles north of Baton Rouge, where Old River connects the Mississippi with the Atchafalaya and its basin, man opposed the forces of nature…and won.

Normally, Atchafalaya water runs through Old River and into the Mississippi. But, during the spring and summer when rain and melting snows send down volumes of water from the North, the flow is reversed. During the 30’s a strange development occurred. Each year, the Atchafalaya, with its 155 mile, nearly straight path to the Gulf of Mexico, captured more and more of the Mississippi. Nature, slowly but steadily, was changing the course of the great river.

If this happened, our state’s oil and shipping industry would be wrecked. The deep water ports of Baton Rouge and New Orleans would be located on a shallow, narrow river meandering down the middle of a cavernous, mile-wide bed. And if it happened suddenly, during an extremely rainy spring, flood waters would wipe out much of our rich farmland, animal life and natural resources.

Louisianans went to work.FOLD For a temporary OUT dam, a lumber mattress, wide as a football field is long and long as BACKthe Empire State Building is high, was laid across the mouth of Old River. Fifty men worked ten hours a day, seven days a week, weaving narrow pieces of lumber together. Slowly, 5 feet an hour, the mattress moved across the stream. Huge stones were piled on top, 126,000 tons in all. Dry season brought a drop in the river’s height, and when the decreased flow stopped completely, workmen constructed a permanent dam of sand and clay.

But the job wasn’t finished. Still needed was a system of locks to allow ships passage between the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya. Over 190,000 cubic yards of concrete and 28 million pounds of reinforcing steel went into the structure. Each lock door weighed 186 tons. After 5 years and 68 million dollars, the project was completed.

In the spring of 1973 the Mississippi rose to its greatest height in history. A flood of terrible proportions threatened our state. But the Old River dam and locks held. The mighty river was kept within its boundaries. Man had met the forces of nature in Louisiana, and was triumphant. COUNT ME IN!

LES Capitol View: from LES LOUISIANA ENGINEERING SOCIETY Haynie and Associates LOUISIANA ENGINEERING SOCIETY www.haynieandassociates.com

Election season, much like football season, is a con- tact sport in Louisiana. On October 12th Louisiana had its primary elections for its 144 legislative seats as well as all statewide offices (not to mention count- less sheriff, judges, school boards, mayors, councils and police juries). The October 12th election result greatly favored Republican candidates with both the House and the Senate swinging towards historic Republican super majorities.

At the top of the ticket, incumbent Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards was pushed into a runoff against Republican candidate Eddie Rispone. Governor Edwards received 46.6% of the vote, to win outright he needed 50%. Eddie Risponse (received 27.4% of the vote) after self-funded his primary race with over $10M of his own money. North Louisiana Congressman Ralph Abramson finished 3rd, fail- ing to make the runoff with 23.6%, but did quickly endorse fellow Republican Rispone. Both Governor John Bel Edwards and Eddie Risponse envision a path to victory on Nov. 16th and are enthusiastically fun- draising and campaigning over the 5-week raise and spend-a-thon, with the result possibly coming down to whom best turns out their base.

Republican incumbents won all other statewide offic- es, with the exception of Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin whom is headed to a runoff that he should easily win. Also of note, Jefferson/St. Tammany conservative Supreme Court race goes to runoff Will Crain (R) 37% against Hans Liljeberg (R) 33%.
