Fill in Airline Highway borrow bit, prevent deaths

June 8, 2009 Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,
I hope each of you had a great Memorial Day weekend. I know one family which did not have a great weekend. Of course I am referring to the Richard family who lost Dorothy on Friday. In the humblest way I would like to address the borrow pit problem and possibly offer a better solution. […]

Lack of attendance has impact on DHS Baccalaureate ceremony

June 8, 2009 Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,
On Tuesday May 19, Destrehan High School held their Baccalaureate ceremony in the auditorium on campus. The word Baccalaureate is defined as a religious message addressed to a graduating class before commencement day. Faculty, students, and parents put a lot of work into this event and it was a nice celebration. The mantra was from Psalm 37:5, “Commit yourself to the Lord ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” […]

Take extra care when crossing railroad

April 30, 2009 Letters to the Editor

PAYT is the best way to recycle

March 18, 2009 Letters to the Editor

Socialism is not the way to go

March 4, 2009 Letters to the Editor

To the editor:
What will it take?
With all of the unbelievable U.S. and worldwide economic woes, I am wondering just how long it will take before the Obama Administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress catch on to the fact that Socialism will not work and will only totally ruin our economic system and our country. […]

PAYT program would save residents money

February 4, 2009 Letters to the Editor

To the editor:
I wonder how many people realize that solid waste (garbage) disposal is a public service just as water, electricity, phone, gas etc. The problem is we are not charged for the amount of waste we want disposed of. All residents of St. Charles Parish pay $17.31 a month for this service even if you leave home for two months. […]
