Dear Editor, Today, we need to look around just to see what’s going on. Take our children and look what is being taught to them. There is one thing that is being taught to our children in all grades. From history to literature to mathematics, they are learning tolerance. Many will say it is wonderful [...]
Dear Editor, A person can travel from Mermentau east twenty miles to Crowley on Hwy. 90 in a heavy flood, but traveling the five miles from Mermentau to Jennings is a no go. This is because of a highway fault that doesn’t make sense. It’s just a dip in the highway that is very foolish [...]
Thanks to everyone who helped with a donation to the Super Bowl Board Fundraiser during the past several weeks. This money could not go to a better cause than the American Cancer Society.

Hagel’s defense cuts would damage our military and will negatively affect America’s standing abroad. The U.S. needs targeted cuts to [...]

The past two elections, Republicans have put up their best candidates against Obama and they couldn’t even defeat a him with high unemployment, soaring deficit, [...]
Dear Editor, I’m composing this letter to publicly thank several people who were instrumental in just literally saving my home during the recent flooding that ravaged the Mermentau Cove area of Acadia Parish. Without their help and thoughts, I would, without a doubt, had my home flooded along with thousands of dollars in damage. I [...]
