Here is one sugar kettle located downtown Abbeville.

Downtown Abbeville has sugar kettles with flowers

Fri, 03/21/2025 - 10:09am

No, a black pot cook-off is not about to pop up in downtown Abbeville.
Visitors and drivers will now notice several sugar kettles placed throughout the area. These kettles, serving as flower pots, are situated on traffic islands around Magdalen Square.
“The city decided to add Sugar Kettles with landscaping to the newly completed downtown overlay project,” Councilman Brady Broussard Jr. said.
“Placement of the kettles can now be seen on the various brick islands in our historic downtown.”
Along with beautification, the kettles help make the islands stand out for safety purposes.
“Those islands are to help slow traffic,” Broussard said. “Those can be seen easier now. These (kettles) are visual aids that are also beautiful.”
The total cost for the project is $7,000 for 12 kettles from Brian’s Furniture and Appliances in Port Allen and $4,950 for 12 stands. Council members cover the cost through their respective discretionary spending funds.
“I was happy to see the response of fellow council members to join together and cover the cost of purchase of the kettles,” Broussard said.
As for the stands that hold the pot, those are local.
“The durable custom stands that the kettles rest upon were manufactured by Mr. Brandon Briggs here in Abbeville,” Broussard said.
Public Works Director Chris Gautreaux and members of the street and park crews are handling the potting soil placement in each kettle and now the planting of the chosen species of plants. Horticulturist Mark Riche is consulting with the city to make choices for spring planting in the kettles.
Vermilion Parish Tourism Director Alison Miller, who can see one of the larger kettles near the front of her office at Abbeville Cultural and Alliance Center, said she feels like they are a great addition to the area.
Abbeville Main Street Manager Charlene Beckett, who helped track down the kettles before purchase, agreed.
“I think they add so much to our downtown,” Beckett said, “and sets us apart from other small cities.”
Broussard said it is something exciting to see happen.
“We hope our residents and visitors enjoy the seasonal floral beauty.”

There is now a note on the Abbeville City Hall door explaining how to get into city hall.

You now have to ring bell to get into Abbeville City Hall

Fri, 03/21/2025 - 10:06am

Mayor says it is for safety reasons

Visitors must press a doorbell to enter Abbeville City Hall since the doors are locked. Abbeville Mayor Roslyn White explained the reason for the new system implementation.
Starting this month, when visitors arrive at city hall, they will have to ring a doorbell and then explain what their business is.
A person in city hall is able to see and speak to the person at the front door using the newly installed Ring Doorbell Camera.
Mayor White said, “Like many other entities, we are looking at ways to enhance safety for our employees. We looked at a variety of safety measures. Given the design of the building, the new lock is the most effective way to increase safety for those working in the lobby area and beyond.
“It is similar to the system used in schools and the sheriff’s office.”
For the last two years, one must ring a doorbell to enter the Sheriff’s Annex Building downtown. Similarly, no one can enter a public or private school in Vermilion Parish without ringing a doorbell.
The Mayor said no recent incident called for locking the doors. She said it was all about the safety of the city employees.

Whitney Myers

North Vermilion's Myers: State Teacher Of the Year semifinalist

Fri, 03/21/2025 - 10:03am

The Vermilion Parish School System is showing why it deserves to be mentioned among the best in the state.
Late last month, the Louisiana Department of Education named Erath Middle School’s Rylann Viator as a Middle School Student of the Year finalist. This week, another parish representative made strides in the award process.
North Vermilion High’s Whitney Myers has been announced as a semifinalist for Louisiana High School Teacher of the Year.
“Honestly, I am shocked,” Myers said of finding out the news. “When I read the email, I just stared at it with my mouth hanging open, speechless. I am honored to be a semi-finalist. I am honored to represent Vermilion Parish. I am honored to have an opportunity to share how amazing our Vermilion Parish students are with others.”
Myers, a special education teacher, is among 24 semi-finalist from around the state. Her passion for the job and the people who are in the classroom are big reasons why she is part of that group.
“I love teaching,” Myers said. “I love my schools. I love my students. My students were the focus of most of my application. Our kids are awesome. Their voices, their ideas, their questions, and their passion fuel my teaching.
“They are the difference.”
Myers said she is proud to have that passion shine brightly for NVHS and the parish.
“North Vermilion has been my home for the last 10 years,” Myers said. “My kids graduated from NVHS. My husband and I were part of the opening of NMVS before we moved to NVHS. I love the NV community. From the beginning, they have been welcoming. The NV schools have provided me the opportunity to grow as a teacher, and I am grateful for the fabulous faculty and staff at both campuses. I work with students across the parish, and I have been welcomed by each and every campus. From Abbeville High to Gueydan, our schools are focused on creating opportunities for our kids. I am honored to have the opportunity to share our work with others.”
North Vermilion High Principal Denise Lotief said everyone knows what Myers brings to the local education system.
“While this honor is well-deserved,” Loteif said, “it comes as no surprise to us. We’ve always known she’s the best! We are so lucky to have you, Mrs. Whitney!”
Myers said she is thankful for the support from a place she happily calls home.
“Now, I have a place I can call home. I have been a part of the North Vermilion school family longer than I have lived elsewhere. The faculty, staff, and community have been so welcoming. North Vermilion is home, and I am honored to be part of the NV community.

Residents are complaining that some people are playing their music too loud in Delcambre.

Delcambre's City Council Message: Turn Down The Boom

Fri, 03/21/2025 - 10:00am

DELCAMBRE — The town of Delcambre is enforcing stricter regulations regarding loud music emanating from private property or vehicles in the city.
Residents were at a Delcambre city council meeting to complain about their neighbor playing loud music from their vehicle. When they called the police department and an officer arrived, the music was turned off. When the officer left, the music was cranked up.
“I have trouble with the boom noise,” said a resident. “It is every day.”
An 83-year-old resident walked outside after seeing her house windows rattling because of a vehicle’s loud, base-sounding music. She shouted at them to turn it down, but the music continued to play.
Due to the rise in noise pollution, the Delcambre aldermen and Chief of Police Perry Shaw have increased their efforts.
Shaw told the aldermen and Mayor Christopher Esponge that the town recently received noise meter readers that record the music’s loudness.
Shaw told the aldermen that the police department can not cite loud music violators without getting a decimal reading of the music playing. In most cases, by the time the police department arrives, the music is off, he said.
But Chief Shaw did have a solution to that problem. He informed the residents who were having trouble with a neighbor who likes to play loud music to go to the police station. He will let the residents borrow a decimal noise meter to record the loud music, and he also recommends they use their phones to record everything.
Then, the aldermen increased the penalty amount for those caught playing loud music.
The new fine amount is $350 or 40 hours of community service for the first offense, $500 for the second, and $1,000 and/or 30 days in jail for the third offense. In addition, police officers will seize their stereo equipment.
The residents thanked the aldermen, mayor, and police chief for making playing loud music in Delcambre more costly.
