You used a filter for that Booger? Looks like could use that on something else I have to play around with.

Hi guys.

Can anyone take this picture and enlarge it? I know it's old and grainy, so it's out of my amatuer photoshop league.

If possible, the family would like to make this a 5x7 or a 4x6.

This is the best pic i've got. It's from his obituary card, so it's small and not the best quality like I said.

TIA to anyone that could do this.

It is my understanding that signing the petition is to allow the people within the unincorporated area to vote on whether it might become a city if they get at least 25% of the people in the area to sign the petition. Signing the petition does not mean that you support St. George.

That is my understanding as well. But if you not for this, why would you want the opportunity to vote on it?

LOL at anyone who wants to sign a petition to create a city because of some random's posts on frickin tiger droppings.

This is the biggest problem with this whole SG idea.

I just like the idea of it all, I guess - but I don't want to be part of the next Spring Lake.

I dont think Harveston will ever be anything like Springlake. It has a defined architectural style you have to abide by to build, and the houses will be more like and above the sizes in Fairhill than Springlake. Will be much nicer than both IMO.

The other side is suppose to have a strip mall, church, school, and grocery. If you call the realtor lady on their site or some of the builders they can tell you all of that. You can only use one of their 5 builders approved to build in there.

Don't act like an idiot when the cop grabs you to control a situation like that.

I don't feel sorry for that moron.

You are getting a discount if you are catholic, look at their rate schedule. Just because you've never had to look at it doesn't mean other people don't. I've looked at pretty much all of the private schools cost and none are at 3k a year.
Please prove that I'm ignorant and show me where tuition only costs 3k a year.

High School or Elementary?

Elementary is about $3800 a year.

Catholic High Schools in BR are more; but it's roughly the same costs per year as the good day care centers in this same city to put it in perspective.

Like another poster said, it's all about priorities, and that's why most cant (choose not to) afford a private education. However I do believe that some genuinely cant afford it and there is no decent public school to send their kids to in Baton Rouge. Which at that point means they are not making much money, and should just sell and move to Ascension (assuming they live in SBR) and give them a better public school education. Creating a new city isnt the answer.

While I have no issues with the man, and he has probably done a great job in office, it has to at least be somewhat alarming when someone that's in the position to push some of these initiatives and changes as an elected official of that area, is also leading the charge for SG to break free.

IMO job #1 for Mr White this session should be getting the SGFD the funding they deserve, not to keep them out in limbo so that they can remain part of the agenda of the VSG pushers. That's not right. Give them the money they need, and let the debate go on about the other issues.

How can you keep saying that when it has worked so well for central and Zachary? There are 2 good, recent examples of the success that proSG people are trying to achieve. It's been done already, twice, and it works. Did you complain like this when Central broke away? How about Zachary?

---

I'm not complaining. I'm just not for it. Just because it worked in other situations doesn't mean it will work this time. I don't trust it, nor do I trust the people spear heading it. And there is no way the funding will be there in this situation, IMO. That's why i'm against it.

Maybe if they are more prepared in a couple years, I could be for it. My kids will always be in catholic schools anyway, so I guess that's why i'm not super involved in this.

I am 100% in support of St. George FD getting the necessary funding they need from the existing city of BR. That should be able to be done with the system that is currently in place.
