Changes made in nuisance laws
Ordinance
allows for easier
enforcement
By Karma Champagne
The Jeanerette Enterprise
A supplement to the current nuisance abatement ordinance recently
approved by the board of aldermen
will clear the way for easier enforce-
ment of laws.
The ordinance will provide for
problems with junk yards, tall grass,
abandon vehicles and abandoned
buildings to be addressed in a timely
manner.
The board approved the change to
the current ordinance at the request
of
the
Jeanerette
Housing
Commission.
“This is going to make it easier for
the city to enforce the laws for a
cleaner community,” said Aldermanat-large Kurt Myers who also serves
as chairman of the commission.
Residents will have 15 days to comply or go before the board for an
appeal for additional time.
Myers said the Jeanerette Housing
Commission was formed to expand
the housing inventory in the city of
Jeanerette, but before that can be
done there are problems that need to
be addressed to create a cleaner city
to entice new residents into the community.
Currently the city has a mechanism in place to address the prob-
lems, but it is not structured in one
section to make it easy for enforcement, according to commission members.
The commission was originally
formed at the request of Mayor
Arthur Verret to work towards
increasing the available housing n
the city.
“I believe the whole board and the
people of the community are glad the
new ordinance was put into place.
Everyone wants to have a clean community,” said Myers.
“This is going to make
it easier for the city to
enforce the laws for a
cleaner community,”

Updating cemetery records
BY KARMA CHAMPAGNE
THE JEANERETTE ENTERPRISE
A group of genealogy
enthusiasts want to make
sure local residents will
always be able to locate the
grave sites of their ancestors.
The group has been making their way across the area
to several cemeteries to photograph and document each
tomb in the cemetery to verify the name engraved on the
headstone is in correlation
with the cemetery records.
The group has already
started working on the documentation of St. John
Evangelist Cemetery.
“We want to make sure
everything correlates with
what is in the church
records,”
said
Julaine
Schexnayder, a coordinator
of the volunteer group.
“We are in hopes that all of
the records will eventually be
filed electronically to make it
easier to find where someone
is buried.”
Schexnayder said in many
instances the records are still
Participants in the National
Hurricane Conference in New
Orleans last week were able to
view advance copies of a new
level of local disaster preparedness, response and recovery in a hurricane guide for

The guide will serve as a

for other areas of Louisiana
and the United States.
The official introduction and

Walter H. Duck
Walter Harold Duck, 86, a
resident of Franklin since 1967
died Tuesday, April 10, 2007, at
the Franklin Health Care
Center.
Mr. Duck was born in Wise
County, Texas, on May 17, 1920.
He
married
his
wife,
Genevieve Hayden, on April
10, 1943. He was a U.S. Navy
veteran of World War II and
served in the South Pacific. He
worked 27 years in Satanta,
Kan., Shamrock, Texas, and
Aransas Pass, Texas, while
working for the United Carbon
Company. In 1952, he moved
his family to New Iberia and
constructed the carbon black
plant near the Ivanhoe Canal.
He then became the maintenance superintendent and ultimately the plant operating
superintendent. In 1966, he
purchased a partnership in
Frees Construction Company
and relocated to Franklin.
During his years with Frees
he led many projects in the
area. His favorite was the construction of the bell tower at
Brownell Memorial Park in
Morgan City. After retirement,
he worked as a consultant for
construction projects in South
America and Brownsville,
Texas.
Mr. Duck was an avid sportsman, who enjoyed hunting and
fishing in the bayous and bays
of southwest Louisiana. If the
Cajun culture and people ever
converted a Texan, it was Mr.
Duck. He genuinely loved all of
the people in Acadiana.
The family of Mr. Duck
rejoices in his life and gives
thanks for such a wonderful
husband, father, grandfather,
and friend. We also want to
thank each of the doctors and
caretakers that made the past
several years of his life at
Franklin Health Care Center
not only possible, but a happy
and healthy experience. We
especially thank Deacon
Douglas Hebert for his attention and prayers to our father.

Editor:
I was reading the Jeanerette
Enterprise and read a story
where the board of aldermen,
at the Monday, April 9 meeting
went into executive session
(closed) about a complaint
lodged against a Jeanerette
police officer and no action
was taken.
The reason no action was
taken was because the matter
was handed over for investigation to the state police Monday
long before the meeting.
I learned of this Monday
morning. Even though I was
told about it during the meeting, it did not come as a surprise.
As small as our community
is we are not capable of handling our own affairs. This
matter left from the Jeanerette
Police Department looking
into the matter, than the sheriff ’s department and now on to
the state police.
This officer is still suppose to
be on administrative duty. Why
is he patrolling the streets?
If so, it just goes to show the
citizens of Jeanerette we have
no leadership from the top to
the bottom.
For the young men and
women of Jeanerette, be safe.

CEMETERY: Local volunteers needed Artisan competition open to adults, students

handwritten and in other
instances the remains of the
deceased have been relocated
to other cemeteries.
In many cases, Schexnayder
said the headstones are broken
and deteriorated and it is not
easy to identify the deceased,
while others have no identification at all.
“This is a way that the
genealogy group can be of
help to supplement and update
church records,” she said.
In order to complete the project quicker, Schexnayder said
the group is seeking volunteers who are willing to volunteer their time for a couple of
hours a week over the next six
to eight weeks.
The group will meet at St.
John Evangelist Church at 9
a.m. Tuesday and will contin-
ue meeting every Tuesday at 9
a.m. until the task is completed.
“A volunteer doesn’t’ have to
commit to every week, it can
be only a few hours,” said
Schexnayder.
Shirley Broussard, a member of the group said there are
well over 3,000 tombs that need
to be verified with records.
Records show the cemetery
has a history dating back to
June, 1879 when the first burial plot was purchased for sixyear-old Alice Harris.
The group eventually hopes
to see each tomb identified
with a visual marking. For
those who do not have an
engraving or headstone,
Schexnayder said an engraved
metal plate can be purchased
for $10. Anyone wanting more
information on the program
can call Schexnyader at 365-
7667.
Schexnayder said the group
is just an informal association
that has joined together to perform a service that is much
needed.
“We need to get more of the
locals in Jeanerette involved,”
she said.
The genealogy enthusiasts
have already competed a similar project in St. Nicholas
Catholic Church Cemetery in
Patoutville and St. Peters
Catholic Church Cemetery in
New Iberia.
After the records are verified
at St. John Evangelist
Cemetery, the group will move
on to a Catholic cemetery in
Charenton to complete a similar project.
