Continued from page 19 goes, but the seafood is good. I eat shrimp from every catch that comes in here. I test a pound or◗two of every one,” Dean says. Residents, frequent visitors and the Mayor of Grand Isle are determined to see this barrier island survive, no matter the threat. Infrastructure improvements are currently underway in several places on the island, according to Camerdelle. “LA Hwy 1 is now resurfaced with asphalt and drainage
The Reconnection:
project is now being completed. The town has applied for several grants to beautify our playgrounds both in Chenier and Grand Isle. The Grand Isle Independent Levee District has received permits to place rocks on the north side of Grand Isle. The levee district was granted federal money for these projects.” Not so long ago, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office had special beach patrols in place on Grand Isle as part of a unified command with the Jefferson Parish Department
of Homeland Security and Grand Isle officials in response to the oil spill. They completed their duty in January of this year. Chief Deputy John Thevenot, director of the JPSO command on Grand Isle, says he hopes the next time they return, it will be simply to go fishing. Many people feel the same way. “This summer we intend to go there (Grand Isle),” says Eddie. “We intend to go to the beach, go fishing and just enjoy ourselves.” The people of Grand Isle are ready and waiting. “Beaches are open, clean and beautiful, just waiting for our beach goers to come and enjoy. All business owners are strong and eager to get the summer started,” Camerdelle said. To volunteer for planting in Grand Isle State Park, call 985-787-2559.

Reconnective Healing: ‘Information Medicine’ in the 21st Century

Dr. Eric Pearl has identified a revolutionary healing method so effective that many chronic health conditions and emotional traumas are eliminated, in many cases, virtually immediately. Known internationally as Reconnective Healing, this transformative paradigm in healing has been taught to more than 60,000 people around the world. It’s the cutting edge of what researchers are calling “Information Medicine,” where scientifically documented frequencies (comprised of energy, light and information) can help restore health and wellbeing. Today, world-renowned scientists William Tiller, PhD, Gary Schwartz, PhD, and Konstantin Korotkov, PhD, are measuring and quantifying why these frequencies are having such an astounding impact. Dr. Pearl identified the power of Reconnective Healing after his chiropractic patients began reporting that they felt his hands on them—even though he hadn’t physically touched them. They soon reported receiving healings from physical,
emotional and mental conditions that had been crippling their lives. But moreover, he realized that this was a skill he could teach others, regardless of background or professional experience. Dr. Pearl now travels the world teaching people Reconnective Healing, opening a new avenue for those who have yearned for a career in healthcare or simply desire to help others. Dr. Pearl’s book, The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, is now published in over 36 languages, and he will offer a Level I/II Reconnective Healing seminar in New Orleans June 3-5. For Animal and Yoga Enthusiasts, complimentary presentations will be offered on June 2. Introduction to Reconnective Animals at 5:30 p.m. and Reconnective Yoga Workshop at 7:00 p.m. Register for additional Reconnective Yoga Classes June 5, 6 and 7 at 7:00 am.
