While no detour is necessary\, motorists are encouraged to use an alternative route. The detour includes LA 89 (Southpark Rd) to LA 182 (Pinhook Rd) to U.S. 90 (Pinhook Rd.)  The work being done during this closure is related to the $20 million project to widen U.S. 90 from four to six lanes from Pinhook to Broussard. Work on this 7.19 mile project began in late April 2010 and is expected to be completed by Fall 2012. DOTD appreciates your patience and expects you to drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment.

In 1965\, the Louisiana Department of Hospitals approved and funded the Southwest Louisiana Education and Referral Center. It was Louisiana’s first I&R Service and the fourth in the nation. If she saw a need\, Jewell wanted a solution. She was instrumental in founding the nation’s first outpatient\, mental health treatment center which opened in Lafayette in the early sixties. In the early seventies\, while on a trip to London\, Jewell learned of a new concept to care for the dying and their families. She brought that concept\, now called Hospice of Acadiana\, to Lafayette and helped it take root. In 1992\, Lowe started the “Anything Is Pastable” event to benefit her organization 232-HELP\LA211\, Acadiana’s first comprehensive referral center in the health and social services fields. Known as the event of the season\, “Anything Is Pastable II” will again feature award winning Acadiana chefs showcasing their own pasta dishes\, along with an exciting silent auction and a live auction with one-of-a-kind items which will surprise and thrill you. Senator Fred Mills and Secretary of Natural Resources Scott Angelle share the duties of Master of Ceremonies and Auctioneer. The auctions will focus on the jewels of Acadiana – our art\, food\, people\, and culture. The highlight of the Live Auction will be the Jewels of Jewell – donated by Mr. Bob Lowe from his wife’s unique collection. Participating Restaurants: Antoni’s \, Bailey’s Grill\, Bella Figura\, Fezzo’s\, Imonelli’s\, Mazen Grill\, Mr. Keet’s 2\, Nash’s Restaurant\, Petroleum Club of Lafayette\, Peter Piazza\, Jr.\, Ruth’ Chris and Zea. Former Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco worked hard to maintain funding for 232- HELP\LA211….”Jewell was a remarkable lady with a compassionate heart. Her legacy lives on in the work being done by 232-HELP\LA211\, easing suffering and providing hope….” The event will take place on Wednesday\, September 19\, 2012 at the Petroleum Club of Lafayette. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are just $125 per person – tables of eight are $1\,000. Sponsorships are desirable and available.

"Miracle on 34th Street" is a wonderful\, Christmas story based upon the Twentieth Century Fox motion picture "Miracle on 34th Street." Here's a little synopsis of the story: Kris Kringle\, an old man in a retirement home\, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris is automatically liked by Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor\, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to a Psychiatric Hospital\, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision\, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa\, giving Susan and other children the experience and joy of childhood fantasy.

This is the ideal that inspires the eclectic\, high-energy sound of the Lafayette\, LA based band Vagabond Swing. The band creates the driving force behind their music with their uninhibited blending of styles and creativity. With their musical roots ranging from bluegrass to ska\, the band produces a surprisingly smooth mixture of progressive Gypsy/Experimental/Circus-vibe/Swing tunes. Along with their melodic energy\, the band members themselves bring on a show of vibrant\, youthful spunk\, which gives their performance a thrashing air of excitement. [caption id="attachment_126716" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Hoplite[/caption] Nik-L-Beer:  In 1978 a band named Horizon was burning up the music scene in the south Louisiana area. Some of the members wanted to make a  change. Four of the members: Kim Leleaux\, Dana Latiolais\, George Thomas and Laurie Labry left Horizon to start a new group. They contacted Huey Kern and Terry Guidry and asked them to join the band. We started rehearsing at Dana's house and you could feel we had something special. Our first gig was June 15\, 1978 for Scott and Tiny Hebert's wedding reception in Catahoula.

The ways Cajuns invent to consume crawfish are pretty much limitless\, and this is the festival at which to try them all. Why stop at etouffée when you can also have fried crawfish\, crawfish boudin\, crawfish poboys\, crawfish sausage\, crawfish boulettes\, crawfish jambalaya\, crawfish egg rolls\, crawfish dogs and\, of course\, boiled crawfish by the ton. No one seems to have come up with a crawfish dessert yet\, but we assume it’s only a matter of time. Top Cajun and Zydeco bands play throughout the weekend so bring your dancing shoes; but don’t miss the contests: Root for the quickest crustaceans at the “World Famous Crawfish Races”; enter a crawfish eating contest; or show off your culinary skills at the Crawfish Etouffée Cookoff. If you can still walk after the crawfish eating contest\, two-step over to the Cajun and Zydeco dance contests afterward or troll among the festival’s arts and crafts booths for a souvenir. The famous parade rolls on Sunday morning. A claw-tapping\, tail-snapping good time is promised all three days at Parc Hardy. 4 pm–midnight Friday; 10 am–midnight Saturday; 9 am–4 pm Sunday. 2090 Rees Street. $5 Friday & Sunday\, $10 Saturday or $15 for a three day pass. bbcrawfest.com.

Paige was diagnosed with epileptic seizures and was put on a new medication in combination with her old medication to help control epileptic seizures. She had a rare\, severe reaction to the new medication known as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) which is the most severe form of Steven Johnson Syndrome. Over 77% of her body is affected by this. It causes her to burn from the inside out and makes her skin blister then fall off. It also affects her eyes\, which can eventually cause blindness. She was admitted into Shriner’s in Galveston\, TX where she has been in ICU (the week before Easter). She will need long term care once she gets out such as physical therapy and continuous care on her eyes. Her eyes have taken a tremendous toll. You can follow updates on Paige's Facebook page here. This story breaks our hearts. Let's help this beautiful girl! For more information visit playforpaige.webs.com.
