Capital One Bank this week presented 12 area non-profit organizations with checks totalling $29,000 to support an array of education, arts and social-service initiatives. Among the recipients was the Acadiana Center for the Arts, which received a $1,000 check in support of the AcA’s Side Gallery Series. The money will be put towards the 12 exhibits the AcA displays on a monthly basis in their Side Gallery as part of their exhibition series that also includes the Main Gallery and Vault.
Currently on display in the Side Gallery is Dewane Hughes’ “Rosie & Big Daddy Divine Modern Glyphs,” a sculptural investigation into how we as a people/species/culture, and Dewane as an artist, take in information through our daily lives and environments and manipulate such information to find transcendence.
For more information on the AcA’s exhibition series visit AcadianaCenterfortheArts.org or call 233-7060.

Kudos to the local Capitol One branch. This is how non-profits should raise their funding. NOT through politicians forcing taxpayers to contribute via public tax dollars.

There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
Philip deMahy Sr., a once respected New Iberia ad exec, was sentenced May 2 to spend the next two years (he faced up to 100 years) in a state penitentiary after state and federal investigators found dozens of images depicting children engaged in lewd sexual acts on his personal computer.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
