Carencro blends history, new growth One of state’s oldest communities attracts new residents, business BY CHERÉ COEN

Special to The Advocate Carencro is considered one of the oldest subdivisions of Lafayette, lying north of Interstate 10 and straddling Interstate 49. But the town’s history dates back centuries. The Attakapas tribe resided in the region and it’s said that European settlers heard an Attakapas legend in which carrion crows feasted on the bones of a mastodon, thus giving the area its name. Another story lends itself to a red-headed buzzard. You be the judge. In the late 1700s, Acadian Arceneauxs and Bergerons acquired land in Carencro upon arriving in the Louisiana colony after being expelled by the British from their home in Canada. They named their new residence Beau Bassin after their Canadian home, a house that’s been relocated to the Vermilionville Historic Village in Lafayette. Today, Carencro is known for its modern Sports Complex, Pelican Park and the North Regional Library, but its history exists in downtown buildings and St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church where more than 100 pews are decorated with Carencro family crests. And the Robert Dafford mural at the Therapy Center on East St. Peter Street depicts early Carencro residents in horse and buggies heading to Mass. Also on East St. Peter Street is Swanky’s Cajun restaurant, located inside a restored 1901 building and serving up everything from poboys and seafood platters to hamburgers and chicken wings. Carencro also offers a wide variety of shopping, from unique boutiques, art galleries and antiques to big box stores and groceries that have recently opened alongside I-49. This blend of history and convenience is what attracts residents to Carencro but the charm remains, said Barbara McConnell, who has lived in Carencro for 30 years.

PHOTO BY CHERE COEN

The Robert Dafford mural in downtown Carencro shows early residents heading to Mass in horse and buggies. Today, Carencro straddles Interstate 49, but its history dates back centuries. “I thought Carencro was the best kept secret in Lafayette, but somehow we have been discovered,” she explained. “People are moving here and they’re building homes. We have areas that are not subject to ﬂooding and you can still buy larger tracks of land.” McConnell is excited about the new shopping opportunities afforded residents along I-49, stores such as Lowe’s, Super One grocery and the Walmart Supercenter. Some Lafayette restaurants and food producers such as Don’s Specialty Meats and La Pizzeria, have

opened new locations along the interstate corridor, joining the long-standing Prejean’s, which has been popular with tourists and residents alike for years. “New restaurants and shopping opportunities practically pop up daily it seems,” McConnell said. The eastern-most boundary of Carencro skirts the old Coteau Ridge, created when the Mississippi River ﬂowed through Acadiana thousands of years ago. Because the river’s water poured through the area when glaciers melted up north, natural trenches were made

and parts of Carencro include rolling hills, a unique natural feature to Acadiana. “We haven’t been overbuilt (yet) so there are natural areas of rolling prairieland and hills,” McConnell said. “The Coteau Ridge looks similar to what it was like before western man arrived.” Famous Carencro natives include musician Marc Broussard and New England Patriots football star Kevin Faulk.

The length of your credit history is another factor that affects your score, according to Investopedia. Credit scoring takes into account the age of your oldest account, if you’ve used that account recently, as well as the average age of all your accounts, including the newest. Closed accounts can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, but when an account closes, this will affect your credit history average. Credit scoring rubrics will determine just how the ratio of new to old accounts and frequency of use will impact your score.

Spain Alive! festival to celebrate New Iberia’s founding Author from Malaga, Spain, will be guest lecturer

Staff report New Iberia will celebrate the seventh annual El Festival Español de Nueva Iberia on Saturday, April 27. The focus and mission of the festival is to celebrate the 1779 founding of New Iberia by 16 Spanish families from Malaga, Spain. The event helps create an educational and cultural awareness and exchange of food, music, art and history between New Iberia and the Andalusia region of Spain, while recognizing the contributions of the original Spanish settlers to Iberia Parish’s culture. The festival will provide many activities such as Running of the Bulls 5K Race, arts and crafts, a “Paella, Tapas, Jambalaya and Spanish Desserts Competition,” genealogy display, a parade, lots and lots of different cultural music and a children’s tent ﬁlled with activities to celebrate this fun, family oriented day. The host agencies are La Asociación Española de Nueva Iberia and the city

of New Iberia. This year they are also partnering with Cycle Zydeco as many cyclers will be in town on festival day. “The committee selected Spain Alive – Happy Birthday New Iberia as this year’s festival theme to help create an awareness that the Spanish culture and heritage of our great city is very much alive in 2019 along with the many other cultures that make New Iberia the great city it is today,” said Festival Chairman Ebrar Reaux. The guest lecturer will be Jose Manuel deMolina, author and researcher from Malaga, Spain, who will attend the festival and serve as the Grand Marshal of the Festival Walking Parade. The association would like to invite everyone (no Spanish ancestry needed) to this cultural celebration on the banks of the Bayou Teche. For more information and schedule of events, visit NewIberiaSpanishFestival. com, follow La Asociación Española de Nueva Iberia on Facebook or call (337) 349-7343 or (337) 380-7636.

Notes from Bill

Bill LeBlanc

is president of the Acadian Home Builders Association. His column appears weekly in Acadiana Homes and Lifestyles.

Find remodelers to help you age in place Designations indicate builders have earned specialist status As older Americans head into their golden years, many of them want to stay in the home they know and love. Yet, homes are often built with features that are not suitable for all ages and abilities. Specialized builders and remodelers can help turn homes into a safer, more convenient place to live, a place where older Americans can remain independent and comfortable as they age. Certified Aging in Place Specialist professionals help people throughout Acadiana find aging-in-place solutions to fit each homeowner’s specific needs and budget. CAPS remodelers and builders are trained to address the unique needs of aging adults without sacrificing the aesthetic value of the home. There are countless ways CAPS remodelers can help make homes more accessible for older Americans including: • Adding railings or grab bars to prevent falls • Changing floor coverings to add traction and remove tripping hazards • Installing ease-of-reach systems • Widening doorways and halls to accommodate wheelchairs • Installing no-threshold showers or walk-in bathtubs

quality service from a professional with integrity and expertise. More than 3,100 remodelers and builders hold this designation, including many working in Acadiana. As part of National Designation Month — a month where Acadian Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders spotlight industry professionals who go the extra mile to attain advanced training and achieve specialized designations — we recognize the importance of professionals who have earned the CAPS designation.

Other specialties

METRO MEDIA

Aging homeowners may want to look for a builder or remodeler with the designation of Certified Aging in Place Specialist to help with renovations to adapt their home to their changing needs.

The CAPS difference Aging homeowners interested in renovations need to be able to ﬁnd a remodeler who understands their needs. The CAPS designation helps homeowners have conﬁdence that they’re working with an expert in aging-in-place renovation. CAPS designees pledge to uphold a strict code of conduct and are trained

Acadian Home Builders Association

to listen closely to speciﬁc needs instead of pushing renovations that are not needed. CAPS professionals are also committed to attending continuing education programs and staying up to date on the latest aging-in-place technologies and strategies. When working with a CAPS designated remodeler, you can be conﬁdent that you’re getting the best

In addition to CAPS, there are many other distinguished designations that our local builders have achieved to better serve their clients and community. They include: • Certified Green Professional (CGP) — professionals who incorporate eco-friendly building principles into their work, without driving up the cost of construction. • Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) or Remodeler (CGR) — professionals with several years of industry experience and advanced skills not only as home builders or remodelers, but also as trusted business managers. If you’d like to ﬁnd a builder or remodeler in your area with a CAPS or other designation, contact Acadian Home Builders Association at www. acadianhba.com. You can also search the online directory at nahb.org.

A little Irish lore

Origins of leprechauns

METRO MEDIA

The tricolor ﬂag. A pint of Guinness. Bagpipes. All of these tangible things are symbols of St. Patrick’s Day, which celebrates the patron saint of Ireland every year on March 17. Yet, another symbol of Irish culture is more elusive. Leprechaun imagery is ubiquitous during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, yet many know little about these mythical creatures or the origins of the myth. Widely depicted today as tiny, bearded and mischievous men clad in coats and hats, leprechauns have been traced to ancient Ireland. The precise etymology of the word “leprechaun” is unknown, though many scholars believe the word we use today is derived from the old Irish “Lœ Chorpain,” which means “small body.” Some scholars point to the 8th century word “luchorp‡n,” meaning “sprite” or “pygmy,”

CELTIC BAYOU FESTIVAL The fourth annual Celtic Bayou Festival celebrates Irish culture today at Warehouse 535 in Layfayette. For a full schedule of events, visit www.celticbayoufest.com as the origins of the word leprechaun. Another word, “lubrican,” which ﬁrst appeared in the English language in a 1604 play written by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, also has been linked to the modern word leprechaun. Some historians believe the myth of the leprechaun has origins in ancient Ireland, when people believed the tiny creatures were among the various inhabitants of fairy forts and fairy rings throughout the Emerald Isle. Another take on the source of the leprechaun myth is that these tiny creatures were modern incarnations of the Euro-Celtic god Lugh, who was the sun god as well as the pa-

tron of arts and crafts. Manuscripts from the 12th to 15th centuries suggest leprechauns lived underwater and were not all male. In fact, the resource Ancient-Origins.net says female leprechauns were depicted during this time as ﬁgures devoted to luring human men away for various adventures. While in the 21st century, leprechauns always wear green, that wasn’t always the case. Prior to the 20th century, leprechauns were described in various depictions as wearing red. The images of leprechauns can be seen everywhere on and around St. Patrick’s Day, and those images have evolved considerably over the centuries.

Celtic dance keeps ancient traditions vibrant Metro Media Dancing is an expression of emotion that can evoke joy or sadness, anguish or contentment.
