C’EST BON
Can we, at last, wish a hardy good luck to the Hilliards? In a small ceremony held earlier this year, the former Madlyn Boustany, mother of the congressman from Louisiana’s 7th District, married longtime oilman and philanthropist Paul Hilliard, the namesake for UL Lafayette’s art museum. Ridiculously, discussion of the matrimony seemed appropriate in only private conversation for many in Lafayette’s more elite social circles. But the penning of a guest column in The Daily Advertiser Sept. 5 by one Madlyn B. Hilliard should put the issue to rest. Both Madlyn and Paul have long been assets to our community — each is a former Civic Cup winner — and we wish them the best. People, the elephant has ambled out of the room.
PAS BON
Celebrating football in Lafayette has never been finer than the evening of Sept. 5, 2009, at Cajun Field. The first-time matchup with Southern University introduced a record crowd of Ragin’ Cajuns to an uber-classy squad of players and fans from across the Atchafalaya Basin. Sure, it was hot, but the tailgating and food (fried turkey at Pete’s tent!) were simply spectacular. The only minor problem was that we needed a few extra brewskies during the game to sufficiently wash down all that good Cajun food. Imagine our disappointment when we left our seats only to discover that planned beer sales had been scrapped. Thankfully, the Cajuns kept putting numbers on the scoreboard, so we forgot about it. The Southern band put on a spectacular halftime performance, a tribute to the late, great King of Pop, and once again we forgot about it. The Cajuns won, so we forgot about it. But since those good times have rolled, it’s been a little difficult getting over the last-minute questions about the permit, who was asking ’em (Tiger Stadium, for one, had some questions because of a big concert event next year) and all that moolah UL missed out on by not serving the record crowd. The good news: beer was sold at Saturday’s victory over Kansas State.

This is what happens when the state Legislature makes it harder for small towns to have speed traps. Former Golden Meadow officer Darren Charpentier was canned by the town council recently, according to The Courier in Houma, after arresting in a miasma of pepper spray and clanking cuffs a 61-year-old woman. The femme fatale’s unconscionable crime? The tinted windows on her Ford F-150 were, in officer Keystone’s estimation, way too dark. The grody grandma was treated at a local hospital for bruises and profusely watering eyes. The town’s police chief has forwarded the case to the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s Office for possible criminal prosecution.
“It said you had the best rules. It didn’t say you always followed them.”
An out-of-state government consultant wisecracking to the Streamlining Government Commission when asked what he thinks about Louisiana’s ethics laws being ranked best in the country, according to political columnist John Maginnis

In rendering his ruling, District Judge John Trahan all but called the real estate developer a liar for inconsistencies in his accounts of what prompted him to punch a school teacher unconscious.
Frank’s Casing Crew, now doing business as Frank’s International, will make its final appearance on ABiz’s list of the Top 50 Privately Held Companies in Acadiana this year, and once again it will likely be at the top with more than $1 billion in annual revenues. The 75-year-old company specializing in tubular fabrication and installation services to the oil and gas industry plans to offer shares of its stock to the public for the first time.
The defeat, or rather highjacking of House Bill 420 in the final days of this year's Legislative Session, say Reps. Vincent Pierre and Terry Landry, is the result of the propaganda spread by one unidentified local media outlet and an unnamed former state Representative, but nothing to do with the original legislation's lack of checks, balances or details.
City-Parish Council Chairman Brandon Shelvin heaped steady doses of condescending ire on a Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Louisiana executive while failing to reveal his financial ties to a BC/BS rival.
Abbeville native David Primeaux was a popular professor until his death late last year, and while he was successful at camouflaging a dark past, he couldn’t outlive it.
Tehmi Chassion’s failure to recuse himself in the school board’s selection of a group health benefits provider raises ‘serious questions’ on whether he violated state ethics law.
He’s a singer. A songwriter. A piano man. A family man. He’s even got his own Wikipedia entry. He’s David Egan. And he knows ancient secrets about the monolithic stones of Stonehenge that he’s not willing to share.
