EPD dropped the ball
Editor, The Eunice News:
On Saturday morning, Feb. 20, at 3:03 a.m. someone felt it necessary to try to break into my home and rob me and possibly hurt me. Luckily, I was not at home.
They broke a window and busted one of my doors. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford ADT Security Services; therefore my alarm went off and scared them away.

Because Ray Bradbury has been my favorite American author for as long as I can remember, I was overjoyed to learn that “Fahrenheit 451” had been chosen for the first Big Read in Eunice.
“Fahrenheit 451” is an incredible book, set in the near future, during a time in which anti-intellectualism has reached an extreme, and books are burned.

While watching the CBS evening news anchored by Katie Couric on February 26, I realized that our heroes had been slapped by the VA, again.

The Louisiana Streamlining Government Commission, of which I am a member, has made 238 recommendations to the Legislature and the Governor in the first phase of its work to restructure and reduce the cost of state government.

Thanks, everyone

After successfully sponsoring another Boucherie and Mardi Gras Day in historic downtown Eunice, we wish to thank everyone who helped put on these two events.

In sorting out my late mothers’ things, we came across pictures of family members who, luckily for us, my dad had taken the time to identify years before.
Had it not been for that, these faces would have gone nameless forever.
That brings to mind the importance of taking time to identify all of your important family pictures and papers.
A small scrap of paper in on old purse can lead to a hundred and one questions.
It’s not until a death in the family forces the rest of the family to begin sorting through a lifetime of records that this comes to mind.
