Candidates speak out at forum
BY ALICIA DUPLESSIS
SPECIAL TO THE JEANERETTE ENTERPRISE
Nearly 100 members of the Greater
Iberia Chamber of Commerce attended a sold out “Eggs and Issues” breakfast Friday morning that gave members the opportunity to hear how candidates feel about issues facing the
3rd Congressional District.
The debate-style format was to
begin with a panel of four candidates,
three of which were present, who
answered pre-prepared questions
asked by moderator Will Chapman.
“We are here to listen to what
everyone has to say. We are not here
to campaign for or against anyone,”
Chapman said to the crowd.
Questions concerning how panelist
felt about increasing minimum wage,
the top three issues affecting the district and what they would do to solve
those issues were addressed to panelists, state Sen. Craig Romero, RNew iberia, U.S. Rep. Charlie
Melancon, D-La., and Libertarian
candidate James L. Blake Jr., each of
whom had 90 seconds to answer.
Olangee Breech was invited, but
was not in attendance.
Melancon emphasized the importance
of creating a better
recovery and rebuilding effort as it affects
insurance rates while
Blake stressed the
Blake
importance of education as a means of
combating all issues.
Romero said that his number one
priority was hurricane protection,
followed by property insurance
increases and illegal
immigration, as he
sees the latter as a
reason
for
the
increase in health
care cost.
“We need to quit
studying and build
some levees to protect
Melancon
our people,” said
Romero. “We need to
stop criticizing our federal government and use our government for
what it was designed to do.”
Tension between Melancon and
Romero was apparent
at times as the two
used past voting
records to dispute the
others’ ideas presented concerning illegal
immigration.
On minimum wage,
Melancon told members of the chamber
Romero
that the answer was
for all people to live within their
means.

Sonny Baudry Jr., who has
served as superintendent of
the Iberia parish School
System since 1996, has
announced, via letter to school
board members, that he will
retire from that position at the
end of the current school
year.
In the letter received by
board members this past weekend, Baudry said,
“Although there is one year
remaining on my current contract, I have come to the difficult decision to retire effective
July 1, 2007. Since 13 of the 14
school board members have
returned to office, there
should be little difficulty in
selecting
a
new
superintendent.
“Please accept this decision
without positive or negative
comment. I will be forever
grateful to the IPSB and this
school system for all of the
opportunities afforded me,”
The absentee voting will be
held at parish Registrar of
Voters’ offices from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m.
In each parish, voters are
required to provide proof of
identity such as a driver’s
license or state identification
card.
Voters in several parishes
will cast their ballots for the
Third Congressional District
race.

Group hoping to find
descendants to meet
at cemetery Sunday
After more than 100 years,
the above-ground tombs in the
Patoutville Cemetery are
showing their age. Some are
merely a depression in the
ground or a pile of bricks
while others are covered by
vines or encroached by tree
trunks.
Because of the state of disrepair on a number of tombs the
finance committee of St.
Nicholas Church has posted
signs hoping to find someone
to come forth and make a
claim and take responsibility
for repairs.
An informal gathering of
interested parties will be held
on at 2 p.m. Sunday at the
cemetery. Anyone who would
like to view the condition of
the tombs, — especially those
who recognize names in the
list which accompanies this
story — is invited to attend.
A group of interested citizens both from the local area
as well as from out-of-state has
banded together, mostly thorough the Internet, to help
locate the present-day descendants of those who were
interred there more than 120
years ago.
“It isn’t an easy task,” says
Julaine Deare Schexnayder of
New Iberia. “But using genealogy that has been gathered on
local families over the years,
we think we can identify and
help to make a connection
across the generations.”
For example, one of the broken tombs belongs to a “Luc
(sic) Landry” born in 1838,
who died in 1905. “We have
traced his descendants six generations and located family
members still living in the
Lydia community. Kip LaBiche
is the great-great grandson of
Luc,” Schexnayder said. “We
are willing to share all the
names and dates we have on
file to show the family members the connection.”
Once descendants learn of a
broken family tomb and see its
poor condition, the next step
will be to contact Bill Labiche
who is chairman of the cemetery committee regarding the
details of making the repairs.
Schexnayder belongs to an
as-yet-unnamed group of people who became concerned
when they heard about the
notices being posted on broken
tombs warning that if something isn’t done to make
repairs, there is a possibility
that they would be deemed
“abandoned.” The church,
which owns the land, would be
able to reclaim the site by law.
Among the choices at their
disposal would be removing
the broken above-ground
tombs and even moving the
remains elsewhere. This
would have to be done in accordance with Louisiana state law

Wiltz elected NACHC
secretary in D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. —
Gary Wiltz, MD, CEO of Teche
Action Clinic in Franklin,
was recently elected Secretary
of the National Association of
Community Health Centers
(NACHC). Ceremonies took
place at NACHC’s 37th
Convention and Community
Health Institute (CHI) in
Chicago, Ill., where over two
thousand of health center representatives from coast to
coast assembled at the annual
gathering. “I am very humbled by this honor and by
your vote of confidence,” said
Wiltz. “Long ago I recognized
the importance of being the
voice of those we serve, the
most vulnerable of populations. My goal is to fulfill the
expansion initiative and double the number of people
served by Community Health
Centers, as mandated by the
President of the United
States. To accomplish this, we
must work together with
unity, leadership and strategic
planning.”
Wiltz has been an outspoken
advocate for the medically
underserved at the state and
national level. He is a winner
of the Robert Wood Johnson
Community Health
Leadership Award, and the
NACHC 2005 “Grassroots
Advocacy Hall of Fame.” Dr.
Wiltz has repeatedly testified
before Congress about his
efforts to eliminate diabetes
and other chronic diseases
among low-income popula-
tions in rural parishes he
serves, just 106 miles southwest of New Orleans. More
recently, Dr. Wiltz addressed a
National Press Club Press
Briefing in Washington, D.C.,
about the public health needs
in Louisiana after Hurricane
Katrina. His health center
provided health care to hundreds of evacuees in the
immediate days following the
storm, as documented in the
recently released NACHC
report, “Legacy of a Disaster:
Health Centers and Katrina,
One Year Later.”
NACHC is a national organization representing
Community, Migrant and
Homeless Health Centers
which serve 15 million
patients living in rural and
urban communities around
America and in the U.S. territories. No one is turned away
for health care, regardless of
their ability to pay.

been invited to travel and
study in France, Italy and
Malta in 2007. He will join
other outstanding high school
students from the Baton
Rouge area who are eligible
for People to People, an educational exploration founded by

nominated by a teacher, former student ambassador or
national academic listing.
Davis can experience 20
days of rewarding activities
and meet the people of
France, Italy and Malta, all
while earning high school
credit.
International experience
provides a competitive edge in
the college admissions
process. University of
Chicago Professor Emily
Oster said, “I can think of no
better preparations for
college and life than the programs People to People
offers.”
Davis will advance as a
young leader through special
access and focused excursions
to the Eiffel Tower and
Louvre in Paris, museums in
Florence, the Sistine Chapel
and the Roman Forum.
People to People has had
nine presidents of the United
States as its founders and honorary chairmen in its 50 years

Jeanerette and the groom is the son of Cynthia Muffoletto
of Jeanerette and the late George Muffoletto.
Officiating at the 7 p.m. double-ring ceremony was the

Escorted by her father, the bride wore a designer satin,
a-line silhouette gown featuring a portrait neckline and a
tulle lace overlay with pearl buttons over a zipper back

was trimmed with satin ribbon and she carried a nosegay
of vendela and Sahara roses intertwined with a mother-ofpearl rosary.

and bridesmaids were Alaina Muffoletto, sister of the
groom, Jamie Marcel, Tera Verret, cousins of the bride,
Virginia Kern and Beth Breaux. Jenny Kern and Caroline

They each wore a satin champagne-colored strapless top
with a satin sable sash accenting the natural waist, an aline satin taupe skirt and carried a nosegay of chocolatecolored, orange and red spray roses.

Book-Sale-on-the-Bayou in New Iberia offers books and more
Where can you find
romance for a dollar adventure for 50 cents? At the annual Friends of the Library’s
used book sale in New Iberia.
Whether you are stocking up
on mysteries for bedtime
reading or looking for an inexpensive way to purchase
books for your children, the
Friends’ Book-Sale-on-theBayou is the place to shop in
November.
There will be thousands of
previously owned books to
choose from at the Friends
used book sale which begins
with a special Friends
Preview Sale Friday, Nov. 3, at
Cyr Gates Community Center,
300 Parkview Drive in New
Iberia from 5:30-8 p.m. New
memberships, $5 per individual or $7 per family for the
year, will be accepted at the
door.
The sale for the general public will begin Saturday, Nov. 12
from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and conclude Sunday, Nov. 5 from 1:305:30 p.m.
According to Joe Norton,
book sale chair, the Friends
have been accumulating, sorting and pricing books all year
and now have thousands of
books for sale with prices
beginning at 25 cents.
“Each year it is amazing to
see the wide range of books
that are donated to the
Friends for the sale — westerns, cookbooks, gardening
books, encyclopedias, diction-
aries, children’s books,
romances and hundreds of
novels,” Norton said. Cheryl
Braud, assistant director of
the Iberia Parish Library, said
the annual Friends book sale
features some rare book finds
for the discerning collector.
“We have vintage cookbooks, a first edition Robert
Frost, some Dickens, something for history buffs and
genealogists, and a sampling
of collective children’s books.
Even in our collectibles, we
have something for everyone,”
Braud said.
In addition to book items,
the Friends will be auctioning
off a bit of New Iberia history
— giant flat iron baskets that
were used for years at
Trappey’s in the canning of
pickled okra.
Susan Hester Edmunds,
community relations director
for the Iberia Parish Library,
said the baskets make great
planters for the lawn or patio.
“The people at B & G Foods
donated all their canning bas-
kets to the Friends of the
Library and eight of them are
now beautiful planters in
front of the St. Peter and
Parkview libraries,” Hester
Edmunds said.
The Book Sale on the Bayou
is the Friends of the Library
primary source of income,
Miles said and with the proceeds generated from this
event, the library is able to
offer to the public at no
charge, informative programs.
For more information about
the book sale, call the Main
Library at 364-7024.

➤
THE FOLLOWING identifying information was gathered directly from grave sites at the Patoutville cemetery within the past few months. Many grave sites
there have been marked as “abandoned” and “neglected” and are in need of repair.A group of interested

these “first families of the area” in order for these
persons to be made aware of the situation.

“This cemetery is a treasure
to the first families who settled in this area,” said Bryan
Hebert, who has a database of
hundreds of families such as
his own Heberts as well as
Derouens, Louvieres and others which include some the
oldest names in the cemetery.
He adds that the first St.
Nicholas Church was founded
at a site near the cemetery on
Enterprise Plantation in the
1800s.
The next nearest Catholic
church at the time was in
Charenton.
Notices of the meeting next
Sunday, along with a list of
the nearly 50 names found on
the designated tombs, were
distributed to parishioners of
both St. John the Evangelist
Church in Jeanerette as well
as St. Nicholas Church in
Lydia to inform people of the
problem and invite them to
learn more by visiting the
site.
“We want to use this time of
year, around All Saints’ Day
and All Souls’ Day, to remind
people of their obligation to
their
ancestors,”
said

Business Review
Justilia Thibodeaux
Died Sept. 1901, age 28
Onesime Bernard died 1890 age 78
(??Married to Roselie Hebert??)
Schexnayder.
She suggests visitors on
Sunday bring a camera, paper
and pencil, and a list of names
of one’s grandparents and
others as far back as is easily
known.
“We can help you to locate
your family tombs as well as
give you more information
about your family members,
in some cases going back as
many as 10 generations,”
Schexnayder said. “You can
take it from there.”
To get to the cemetery from
St. Nicholas Church, 7809
Weeks Island Road, go south
to
Patoutville
Road
(Louisiana 85) and turn left;
continue for three miles; turn
right onto Patout Road
(Louisiana 673); continue for
about half a mile. Look for a
clearing and historical marker on the left. This is the former site of St. Nicholas
Church in the community of
Patoutville. The cemetery is
towad the rear and to the left,
behind a red brick building.
Call 577-3524 for directions if
you get lost. Note that distances are approximate.

such as giving public notice of
the church’s intentions for a
year in monthly newspaper
advertisements.
So far no ads have been published, but according to
Labiche, there are plans to
start doing so soon.
In addition to Schexnayder,
others working toward the
goal of finding descendants
include Bryan Hebert of the
Lydia-Patoutville area and
Shirley Broussard of New
Iberia, both genealogy hobbists.
They learned about the situation from Don Louviere of
Houston who began an inventory of the Patoutville cemetery earlier this year as a personal project because he had
family members interred
there. After photographing
the tombs, which were in poor
condition, he asked another
former Iberian, Stanley
LeBlanc, now of Dallas to put
the pictures on his Website,
http://thecajuns.com. Later
Nancy Armentor Lees used
her computer search talents
to help locate descendants
from her home in Virginia.

Unidentified Graves: There are other graves which
have deteriorated to the point where all that remains
is a pile of bricks or a depression in the ground.
Perhaps identification can be made by knowledge of
the tombs nearby: for example, a broken brick tomb
next to that of Alexander Gary or another one near
Ben Hebert.All of the above, both those named as
well as those unknown, have been marked with small
printed signs on wooden stakes.

Head-on crash kills RETIRE: He’ll be missed FORUM: Nov. 7 election
Jeanerette woman
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
BY JEFF MOORE
SPECIAL TO THE
JEANERETTE ENTERPRISE
A Jeanerette woman was
killed in a head-on collision
Thursday on South Lewis
Street.
Elaine Stamos, 36, was pronounced dead at the scene of
the crash, which happened at
7:20 a.m. between U.S. Route
90 and the Port of Iberia.
According to Louisiana
State Police Troop I, Stamos
was traveling north in the
southbound lane of Lewis
Street as a van was traveling
in the opposite direction.
According to state police,
the driver of the van,
Carolyn Nevis, 37, of Sunset,
saw Stamos’ car in her lane
and brought her van to a
stop.
Stamos continued north
and struck Nevis’ van headon.
Stamos
was
not
restrained.
Nevis, who was wearing
her seat belt, suffered minor
injuries. She was transported
to Iberia Medical Center.
The accident was the 67th
fatal crash of the year investigated by Troop I. Seventytwo people have died in those
crashes.
VOTING: Many races

library and the superintendent verbally lashed out at
some of those members who
voted against the proposal.
IPSB president Robbie
LeBlanc confirmed Monday
the letter was sent this past
weekend and said he is going
to miss Baudry.
“I have worked closely with
Mr. Baudry for the last 17
years as superintendent and
assistant
superintendent,
Leblanc said. “The library situation was the straw that
broke the camel’s back and I
really hate to lose him.
Currently we have a lot of
projects going on in the school
system and I hate to lose his
expertise. He is really going to
be missed by a lot of people.”
said Baudry in the letter.
The board will vote at its
Nov. 1 meeting on whether or
not to accept the superintendent’s retirement. Baudry is
under contract with the board
until June 30, 2008.
Baudry declined to comment on his plans this morning. The superintendent
explained that the matter has
yet to be approved by the
board.
The announcement comes
on the heels of a clash
between Baudry and several
board members regarding the
construction of a new library
at Anderson Street Middle
School. The board voted 8-6
last week to approved the
“We have given nice tax
breaks to wealthy people while
we won’t even give a minimum
wage increase to working people. If you can’t take care of
the needs of the people in this
country first then we in this
district will have just as bad a
problem as everyone else in
the world,” said Melancon.
Romero said that he did not
see the current amount of
minimum wage as an issue, as
did Blake, who said that he did
not think increasing minimum wage is the answer, but
would none the less support it.
The candidates also gave
their position on the off-shore
revenue sharing legislation
currently being considered by
congress.
Romero
left
Melancon to defend the reason
he waited to sign a bill concerning the offshore revenue
sharing bill by Congressman
Bobby Jindal.
“When Jindal introduced his
bill in January, and by the end
of April, he had 72 co-sponsors. Six out of seven of the
Louisiana delegation was
signed onto Bobby Jindal’s
bill, Charlie Melancon was
not.”
Many of the issues concerning the free trade agreement
and off-shore interests went
unadressed by Blake who told
the audience that he had not
researched either of those topics and had no way to give an
adequate response.

Congressional election will
bring out a large number of
early voters.
“I think our turnout is going
to be lower than it was for
September. In most of the
parish, that’s all they’re going
to have. It’s usually the local
races that bring people out,”
she said. Holcombe added that
the new provision for early voting allows everyone participate without a valid excuse
has increased the turnout in
