  • Time change
    What do you think about this business of having to change the time every 6 months? I think it is time to stop this nonsense. This is just my opinion, but I think it is rediculous to have to adjust to this every few months. I don't even care whether we stick with Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time, let's just pick one and stick with it.  Just wondering what others think about this.

  • Thank you to our great community volunteers...
    I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers who helped with our first ever Keep Iberia Parish Beautiful Litter Walk last Saturday (October 31st) in Coteau.  Although the weather was previously "terrible" for two nights prior, you all came out and made a huge difference in just two short hours.  33 bags of debris, trash, and litter picked up alone Highway 88, around Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church, by Francis Romero Park, and along the Highway 90/88 interchange/overpass.   Also we could not have done as well without our great inmate crew and their supervisor, Deputy Minos.  These young men really worked hard for our parish.  Thank you Thank you Thank you to Warden Frank Ellis and the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Department for always being there when we need and call.  Remember it will take each and every citizen in Iberia Parish working together to achieve the ultimate goal--a cleaner, litter free Iberia Parish for future generations to enjoy and be proud to call home!  To all who volunteer and give of your time, just know you have my deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks--always!

  • Paranormal- Do You Believe in Spirits?

  • Generators For Power Outages
    If you have a gasoline powered generator, you know how fun it is before a storm to run out and fill all of your gas cans. Then after the storm when you need more gasoline you get to go wait in a very long line at one of the few stations that have their pumps working.  We recently had our gasoline generator converted to run on natural gas. It runs smoother, no carburetor problems, and no chasing down gasoline. I doubt that I would be allowed to say on here where I had this done, but it was here in town.

    I am not Webster's Dictionary, nor do I pretend to never make mistakes, but why is it that when some writers want to rant and rave, make smart remarks, replies, and comments or even post initial topics, there are so many words misspelled or no puncuation to let you know where the sentence ends and another begins? I am confused. I enjoy reading the forums and ''hearing'' what people have to say, but it doesn't take much effort to add a period or take that extra 'n' out of 'brinnging'. I know it is a minor thing, sometimes, but you'd be surprised how many people either really write like that. I use to work in a sales office and adults would come in to get a service and would not be able to read or write. Just a thought...

  • Pulled over by a deputy for being a white guy ridding with a black guy
    Lastnight after trick or treating was over i went to pick up my nieces boyfriend from his house(by the way i am white) he live in between two streets down a side street. I passed the cop while turning down the street he lives on. I picked him up from in front of his house and kept going when i got to the next street i seen that the cop was comming down there as well. As he passed me by i noticed he turned around to get behind me he followed me a little ways then he put his bright lights on me the he followed me a little more before turning his lights on to pull me over. When i got out and walked to his car he told me he pulled me over for not having my license plate light working. I was thinking that was not true as he just passed me on the next street and didn't come to get me and how did he notice it going in the opposite direction. I will tell you how hw noticed it it was when he seen us together and turned around to follow us he needed a reason to pull me over. He asked me what i was doing there and where i was going i told him so he went ask my passenger but he changed the question to why i kept making the block around his house. I truely believe i got pulled over because I am a white guy ridding and i had just picked up a black guy. I just want the opinions of the new iberia citizens because this type of profiling needs to stop. and by the way for any of you people that want to be smart @#$es i know my lincese plate is supposed to have the light working i just didn't know it was out.

    Parents, we are living in troublesome times....This is a reminder to accompany your kids while trick or treating. Dress them in light colored clothing or have something reflective. Don't just stop in front of a house and let the kids get out. Know who it is that is giving that candy.....in case you might have to backtrack some "laced" candy. Make sure the kids can "see" with their masks on. It is not wise to accept home-baked goods. Oh, last but certainly not least.....there are some costumes for little girls that look more like club clothes. Don't dress your little girl like a prosti-tot. There are too many pervs out at this time.......waiting!!!!
  • Can state jobs really 'afford' to lay off?
    I know everything in the world is stressed and strained right now, but when I see articles stating that the State of Louisiana is looking to eliminate jobs, I am dumbfounded. I wish they would ask me or the several hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the state that have been laid off and still waiting for unemployment to kick in, in my case, this will be the 5th or 6th week. I lost track. Not to mention I stayed on hold for about an hour and 45 minutes just for her to tell me keep filing my claim. Um, I know that, can you please give me info that www.laworks.net can not provide? Then I applied for food stamps, emergency at that b/c I had already received my last check for the month of September. I applied 9/23/09 and received my emergency stamps (suppose to be 4 days) on 10/23/09. Thank GOD I have a mother and a father that can feed me, but what about the people that don't have that? When I called the case worker, she said she has 40 cases ahead of mine? 40??? Wow...I called HUD to inquire about applications and they told me that they would not be taking applications for at least another 2 years? What u say? What about the people that cannot afford rent, can't find a job to pay rent, and have no family/friends to fall back on? Guess the state needs to hire more people to build more homeless shelters b/c looks like they will be needed.

After leaving Food N Fun he went down Darnall Rd to visit a friend on Ozenne Rd., in Lydia. When he arrived at his friends house he doesn't know if the dog jumped out of the truck and ran off or if he was even in the back of the truck when he arrived.  Please help!!  I am offering a reward.  He is a black mixed lab with white markings on his chest, he is wearing a small chain link collar with his rabies tag attached. Please call: 337-352-1019.  Thank you.
  • Coteau Elementary Assault
    I am aware and deeply concerned about an incident that occurred last week at Coteau Elementary.  There was a small article about it in Friday's Daily Iberian, but I feel there should be more said about this situation.  The PRINCIPAL was assaulted by an aide who was being reprimanded for not properly performing her duties, and that doesn't make at least the Second Front of the paper.  The public should be outraged that this "woman" physically attacked her supervisor, drew blood, and went back into the school's classrooms to brag about what she had done.  I hope I am not the only person who is bothered by this.  Who do you think will want to run our schools if this is a fear that is valid?  And how can we trust our children will be properly cared for and secure when these kinds of people are running about?

I have limited means myself in the current times we all face. I do however have one thing. A 1928 Kimball Grand Piano. I was wondering if there might be enough interest in playing this piano to host a benefit for my my friend. Perhaps "A Night With The Grand" sort of thing. I usually bounce ideas off of my daughter but she has turned 18 and knows it all now, especially how NOT to be home or reachable, so I am turning to you with this. Please be honest but kind.

  • CHS Homecoming Dance vs. ACT
    j6Considering the decline in ACT scores at CHS do you think the administration considered moving the homecoming dance to saturday night instead of friday after the game.  Students will be forced to choose between staying out late after a Homecoming game and attending the dance or going home and get a good nights sleep and rest up for the ACT test they will be taking on Saturday morning.  I understand that it is the responsibility of students and parents alike to make good choices and sound decisions but, why should they have to even make this choice.  All in all,the students may think, "If I don't do well on this test I can just take it again."  Not bad logic in my book.  However, these scores will be recorded and further bring down the average reported by CHS.  It is these type of decisions by the CHS administration that is bringing the unwanted attention to its lack of leadership.  Are dances on Saturday night really that bad?  Why not move the dance so that "everyone" can enjoy it?  Sure the test can be take again but the memoried of a High School Homecoming dance are limited.  Its the little things that the administration can do, but refuses too, that can make a difference in attitude and moral.  If anyone in the "clique" can make a difference I beg you to do so for the sake of the kids.  DR UHL MOVE THE DANCE TO SATURDAY NIGHT--RESTORE THE TRADITION AND CREATE MEMORIES--MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME
  • Obama's unfairness to insurance companies
    I was somewhat concerned after listening to Obama's weekly radio address. He was discussing the scandalous insurance industry and the millions of dollars they were spending on ads to discourage Americans from parts of the health care reform bill. The insurance industry is just one of many that are  spending millions of dollars on ads trying to convince the American people that their position is the correct one. Not only is Obama vilifying insurance companies, he is also telling them if they can correspond with their costumers. After Humana insurance corresponded with their existing  Medicare advantage costumers to explain that their plan will no longer be available if  health care reform goes through.(Medicare advantage plans are eliminated in all 5 of the proposed plans as part of the 500 billion that they plan to take out of Medicare.) All other  companies that handle Medicare advantage plans were told that they were not to correspond with their customers either. I guess he doesn't want  Medicare advantage plan holders to realize that "if you like your plan you just may not be able to keep  that plan."

    That's it, I'm done here. I'm tired putting time and effort into posting here, only to have my comments filtered by D.I.s staff. All I ever tried to do was inform those that don't have time to surf the net to get the "real" news, not the liberal spin you get in newspapers and the MSM. There are a lot of devious people at work to bring down our great country. You don't hear about it in the MSM. And they wonder why a lot of print media is going bankrupt. People know they don't get the "real news" there. I would like to start a sort of "Acadiana" blog of some sort to get the real news to those that don't have a lot of time to do their own investigations. Where  we can post without getting filtered by liberal bias. If there already is one let me know. The only reason I've had a lot of time to post is because I am sort of involved in the oil field. You see, Barry does not want to drill offshore. The administration is doing all it can to bankrupt this country. At present I'm reading a book by Jerome Corsi,PHD. It's title is" America For Sale". You need to get hold of a copy! There are a lot of great sites on  the net that give info you would not get any where else. I've tried to inform you on the IMF,CFR,Bilderberg, Illuminati, etc. The everday person doesn't believe there are indeed people trying to take this country down. We need to wake up as many as possible. Those that got conned into voting for Barry will never admit they were wrong. They wiil be lead to slaughter just like sheep. I refuse to give up what I've worked for all my life without a fight! The globalist elite need to be exposed. See if the staff at D.I. have the stones to post this remark?

    The number (12) is significant in the bible for various reasons. There were 12 (tribes, disciples, constellations) and 12 billion souls...."In the beginning." God destroyed the first "world age" when 1/3 of his created beings followed Satan. Everyone's spirit was in an angelic body then. In his hurt and wrath, God destroyed the earth in which only the dinosaurs were flesh and bones. God decided to restore the earth once again to a habitable state. He decided he would put man's spirit into a flesh and bones body. Everyone would have to be "born again" into flesh bodies. Your inner spirit body never changed! That is your "TRUE" body. It's like changing clothes.

  • Does God Exist...Prove it!
    What you believe as a Christian is that there is a non physical devine being that live in a inaccessible realm of existence that is seperate from our universe. Any attempt to argue that a divine being lives in an inaccessible realm of reality is an attempt to argue for the impossible or the unknowable. Logic alone can refute impossible beings, but it can't show that possible beings exist without evidence. If you can't at some point provide measurable verifiable evidence for the specific being that you claim to exist, all the arguments in the world won't establish your claim as fact.

It was 2 not all 14. Other than that minor error the bulk of their inquiries into the possible wrong-doing and misconduct of our elected officials has been on the nose. I hope they will keep on informing us as the loyal Parish Council Watchers that they are. I bet some of those council members think they are anti  government. That is not the case. White and Boutte are our modern day freedom fighters, fighting to bring us voters out here the TRUTH. I hope we get many, many more letters from the team  of Council Watchers .

    While reading about the failed amendment that would give congress and the American people 72 hours to read the completed healthcare bill before a vote ,I found a very interesting comment by one of the 12 that voted against the amendment. Kent Conrad a democrat from North Dakota claims that go-slow proposals wouldn't make any difference, because only 5% of Americans will be able to understand the legalese in the bills anyway.  It disturbs me that someone in congress(and probably others ) feel we are so stupid that we need them to dictate what is best for us. Over the last several months I have read (not always easy,but possible) HR3200, 1 of the unnumbered senate healthcare bills, HR45(gun controll,probably nothing to worry about ONLY because it will not make it out of committee) and I scanned HR1913 (defence funding bill that about 1/4 had nothing to do with defence or defence spending. It  was just away to get some things past without debate,so Americans have know idea whats in the bill untill after it passes.) The only reason that  our congress is getting away with these thing is because we are letting them. We need to show congress (democrats and republicans) that there are more than 5% of us that are aware of whats going on and take our country  back
