  • Birding on Land and Water
    Louisiana’s Coast Is Just Winging It Visitors Can See and Learn About Hundreds of Bird Species The appeal of the coastal parishes of Louisiana isn’t limited to human visitors; this region also welcomes an overwhelming number of feathered friends year round … but especially in the spring. During spring migration, the coast of Louisiana is the first land mass that birds encounter as they arrive from Central America and other locales. After flying nearly 500 miles, exhausted birds literally fall out of the sky as they arrive at tree‐studded land masses called cheniers (from the Louisiana French word for “oak”); as coastal erosion becomes more of an issue, the birds actually have to fly greater distances in order to reach land. This phenomenon, called a “fallout,” is a fascinating process for visitors to watch. Just like human guests, the birds relax a bit and take advantage of Louisiana’s abundant food supply … and then continue their journey along the “Mississippi Flyway,” which leads up through the United States and into Canada. Their presence is one more element that makes coastal Louisiana a special and spectacular place, any time of year. The total number of bird species recorded in Louisiana is 479. Of that figure, more than 65 percent – 320 different species – live or migrate along the state’s coast. Though many of these species can be found elsewhere in the state or throughout the country, the diversity of habitats along the Louisiana coast helps ensure that there are few other places where avid birders or even casual observers can spot so many birds in such a limited area.

  • Budget Is Step in Right Direction
    Promoting Self Determination, Independence, Productivity, Integration, and Inclusion of People with Disabilities Vol. 14, No. 3 April 2010 Budget is Step in Right Direction For People with DD When Governor Jindal released his 2011 Executive Budget on February 12th, it reflected significant shifts in how Louisiana resources are spent to support individuals with developmental disabilities. Faced with projected revenues that are a billion dollars less than last year, the decision could have been to merely cut services. Historically, cuts have been made to home and community-based services, while the budgets supporting the large developmental centers continued to expand. The 2011 Executive Budget reversed this trend by committing more of Louisiana’s resources to support individuals with developmental disabilities in their homes and communities and made the long-awaited move to reduce the state’s over-reliance on large, segregated and costly developmental centers. Louisiana has been making slow progress toward providing more home and community-based services and reducing the use of institutions. While our state spends more than most states supporting people with developmental disabilities (eighth in the nation), we direct more of these dollars toward institutions than any other state (first in the nation). Unfortunately, this slow movement has left Louisiana with 9,437 people waiting over eight years for home and community-based waiver services – one of the longest waiting lists per capita in the country. Collectively, the changes in the executive budget mark deliberate moves to significantly change the pace – and the strategy - of moving toward a system that reflects best practices. Inside this issue: Developmental Centers Gov’s Budget - DD Services 1, 6 Proposed changes in developmental centers will result in reductions of Gov’s Budget - LT-PCS and EDA 2 over $33 million from the 2010 budget – or a 14.5 percent decrease! Gov’s Budget - MH Services 2 That decrease is reflected in the downsizing and closing of developmental Legislative Advocacy Tips 2 centers.
