	This is no time to stop offshore production June 11, 2010 at 9:05 am It’s not enough that our coastal economy is in such turmoil. Now, the President has called a halt to all deeper offshore explorations and drilling for oil that will cripple the livelihoods of many more of our residents.

	We need to save our state June 04, 2010 at 9:27 am The Top Kill did not work as intended so now British Petroleum is trying another method to stop the escaping oil from the drill stem. It involves cutting the pipe and capping it to bring the oil up to ships waiting on the surface of the sea.

	Open primaries are best for democracy May 27, 2010 at 3:14 pm It is time for the states in our federal governmentt to take full advantage of democracy by adopting open primaries in the election of U. S. senators and representatives, something Louisiana did many years ago under the leadership of former Gov. Edwin Edwards.

	Dead zone fromfertilizer still there May 21, 2010 at 9:37 am We’ve heard and read so much recently about the oil spill at the British Petroleum well in the Gulf of Mexico that we have forgotten all about another problem along the coast of Louisiana. It is the dead zone produced by fertilizers from farms in the mid-west floating down the Mississippi River. They deprive our fish of the oxygen needed to live.

	Barrier islands need to be restored May 13, 2010 at 12:42 pm Many years ago, in the sixties, Louisiana Land and Exploration Company officials suggested that we restore the broken up barrier islands along the coast of southeast Louisiana. It would have protected the state’s valuable wetlands which spawn much of the nation’s commercial fish.

	Government should get closer to home April 23, 2010 at 8:35 am Government in Washington is getting too big and the polls are showing it. Pew Research Center released findings in a survey that showed nearly 80 percent of Americans have little faith that the massive federal bureaucracy can solve the nation’s ills.

	Support neighbors through Bridge Run April 08, 2010 at 1:34 pm The United Way’s 14th Annual Bridge Run/Walk and Festival is back this year with new and improved after-run activities. The event is a great way for parishioners to help out the community while also supporting their own health and well-being.

	Willowdale extension would benefit West Bank April 01, 2010 at 9:31 am Barton Avenue is a skinny little road in Luling that connects U. S. 90 with River Road. But it attracts major traffic because it is a connection between the river front and the main thoroughfare on the west bank.

	Keep entire Holy Triduum sacred, not just Easter Sunday March 26, 2010 at 9:13 am With the Lenten season coming to a close, it’s easy to forget that Easter Sunday isn’t the only day that the church is celebrating the coming of the Easter season.

	Paper took negative approach when covering the ending of spring festival March 18, 2010 at 12:22 pm To the editor: The article on the front page of the March 11, 2010 St. Charles Herald-Guide contained information on our Spring Heritage Day Events and Civil War Encampment. Instead of representing this as what it is, a positive event, you chose the negative headline of “Destrehan Spring Fest Halted.”

	Bonds will help coastal restoration March 18, 2010 at 12:18 pm At last we are beginning to get some action on the possibility of selling bonds to help finance Louisiana’s desperately needed coastal restoration.

	Have a happy Lent, everybody February 24, 2010 at 12:00 pm This new decade has made a grand entrance in southeast Louisiana.

	By-products to help greening efforts January 19, 2010 at 3:45 pm Not long ago when travelling on U. S. 90, we would see mountains of bagasse piled high outside the sugar refinery in Raceland going to waste. Now, we hear that bagasse could play a future in our greening of America by providing an important ingredient for biofuel.

	Don’t think about global warming January 13, 2010 at 12:28 pm If you thought our planet was about to succumb to global warming, think again. In the next few days, St. Charles Parish is expected to have its lowest temperatures in 14 years. England is experiencing its worst winter in a century.

	Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all December 24, 2009 at 3:45 pm To many it’s Merry Christmas. To others it’s Happy Holidays. But to all, it’s a wish for a season that spreads goodwill to mankind.

	Our high schools continue in high gear December 09, 2009 at 11:00 am If you went to the Saints game Monday night, you may have a hard time hearing for the rest of the week. The decibels were really ringing there.

	Troops needed in Afghanistan December 02, 2009 at 10:50 am Some wonder why we should go to war on the side of corrupt government in Afghanistan. The answer is that we have no choice because without that government, the terrorists would be in control of the country.

	Our wonderland to be more available November 24, 2009 at 10:57 am Our outdoor wonderland in St. Charles Parish is destined to become more available to the public in the near future. Two projects will make it so.
