BY KARMA CHAMPAGNE THE JEANERETTE ENTERPRISE Participants in the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans last week were able to view advance copies of a new level of local disaster pre- paredness, response and recov- ery in a hurricane guide for Iberia and Vermilion parishes.

The official introduction and beginning distribution of the Iberia Parish/Vermilion Parish Emergency Guide, was scheduled to day with a 9 a.m. event in Abbeville and at a 1 p.m. introduction at the St. Peter Street Branch Library in New Iberia.

EDITOR

Editor:I was reading the Jeanerette

Enterprise and read a storywhere the board of aldermen,at the Monday, April 9 meetingwent into executive session(closed) about a complaintlodged against a Jeanerettepolice officer and no actionwas taken.

The reason no action wastaken was because the matterwas handed over for investiga-tion to the state police Mondaylong before the meeting.

I learned of this Mondaymorning. Even though I wastold about it during the meet-ing, it did not come as a sur-prise.

As small as our communityis we are not capable of han-dling our own affairs. Thismatter left from the JeanerettePolice Department lookinginto the matter, than the sher-iff ’s department and now on tothe state police.

This officer is still suppose tobe on administrative duty. Whyis he patrolling the streets?

If so, it just goes to show thecitizens of Jeanerette we haveno leadership from the top tothe bottom.

For the young men andwomen of Jeanerette, be safe.Donna M. EllisJeanerette

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Former Jeanerette mayor

James “T.K.” Alexander, con-

victed last year of public

bribery, was disqualified from

running for re-election by 16th

Judicial District Court Judge

Keith R.J. Comeaux Monday.

Alexander, 58, qualified for

the April 5 mayoral election on

Feb. 14. His candidacy was con-

tested one week later by

Jeanerette resident Andre

Rosamond in 16th Judicial

District Court one week later.

Judge Comeaux ruled that,

according to state law, because

Alexander is a felon “actually

under an order of imprison-

ment,” he is ineligible to run

for office.

Alexander was sentenced to

three years in prison after his

felony conviction with two

years suspended. He is cur-

rently free on a $5,000 bond on

supervised probation.

Alexander’s attorney, P.

Charles Calahan, said after the

ruling that he plans to appeal

the decision. The appeal must

be received in 16th Judicial

District Court within 24 hours

of the ruling, which was

turned in at 1:55 p.m. Monday.

The appeal will go from

there to the Third Circuit

Court of Appeals.

Calahan argued that the law

cited is ambiguous and was

intended to keep convicts from

running for office from jail.

Because Alexander is free with

a pending appeal, he said,

Bowie seeking

at-large seatIssac J. Bowie has

announced his candidacy for

the alderman-at-large position

for the city of Jeanerette.

Bowie pledged to assist other

city officials in advocating pos-

itive changes for the city.

“I made the decision to work

diligently will all members of

our community to successfully

make Jeanerette a thriving

city with many advantages

afforded to a city of our size,”

said Bowie.

“When you look around and

see other communities pro-

gressing and realize that we

are stagnated, I believe that

you are just as concerned as I

am about our progress. I have

learned that the best way to

Kurt Myers has announced

candidacy for the alderman-at-

large seat in the April 5 city

election.

As a lifelong citizen of

Jeanerette, Myers said he

wants to have the opportunity

to work for the betterment of

Jeanerette.

“My sole interest in running

for this office is to help the gov-

ernment of our city in making

the right and necessary deci-

sions for maintaining our

facilities and for the welfare of

our citizens,” said Myers.

Myers, a 1972 graduate of

Jeanerette Senior High School,

is a member of the St. John the

Evangelist Catholic Church

and St. John the Evangelist

Church Choir. He is past vice-

president and member of the

Iberia Community Band.

Myers, was active in coaching

Little League, Pony League

and Colt League for 14 years.

Myers, 48, is the son of

Curtis and Mazie Myers. He is

married to the former Anna

Marie LeJeune and they are

the parents of three sons,

James Michael, 24, Ben

Nicholas, 21 and Robert

Anthony, 17.

Myers says he has the time

to devote to city government to

help address the needs of the

community.

handwritten and in otherinstances the remains of thedeceased have been relocatedto other cemeteries.

In many cases, Schexnaydersaid the headstones are brokenand deteriorated and it is noteasy to identify the deceased,while others have no identifi-cation at all.

“This is a way that thegenealogy group can be ofhelp to supplement and updatechurch records,” she said.

In order to complete the proj-ect quicker, Schexnayder saidthe group is seeking volun-teers who are willing to volun-teer their time for a couple ofhours a week over the next sixto eight weeks.

The group will meet at St.John Evangelist Church at 9a.m. Tuesday and will contin-

ue meeting every Tuesday at 9a.m. until the task is complet-ed.

“A volunteer doesn’t’ have tocommit to every week, it canbe only a few hours,” saidSchexnayder.

Shirley Broussard, a mem-ber of the group said there arewell over 3,000 tombs that needto be verified with records.

Records show the cemeteryhas a history dating back toJune, 1879 when the first bur-ial plot was purchased for six-year-old Alice Harris.

The group eventually hopesto see each tomb identifiedwith a visual marking. Forthose who do not have anengraving or headstone,Schexnayder said an engravedmetal plate can be purchasedfor $10. Anyone wanting moreinformation on the programcan call Schexnyader at 365-

7667.Schexnayder said the group

is just an informal associationthat has joined together to per-form a service that is muchneeded.

“We need to get more of thelocals in Jeanerette involved,”she said.

The genealogy enthusiastshave already competed a simi-lar project in St. NicholasCatholic Church Cemetery inPatoutville and St. PetersCatholic Church Cemetery inNew Iberia.

After the records are verifiedat St. John EvangelistCemetery, the group will moveon to a Catholic cemetery inCharenton to complete a simi-lar project.
