This money has just been trickling out. It has been a painfully slow process.
"Michael Doucet" is an American Cajun fiddler, singer and songwriter who founded the Cajun band BeauSoleil from Lafayette, Louisiana.
In 2005 Doucet was one of 12 recipients of the National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA award, which recognizes artistic excellence, cultural authenticity and an artist's contributions, is the highest honor in U.S. folk and traditional arts. Doucet received Grammy Awards in both 1998 and 2009 for work with Beausoleil.
He was named a 2007 USA Collins Family Foundation Fellow and awarded a $50,000 grant by United States Artists, a public charity that supports and promotes the work of American artists. In 2008, he released From Now On, his solo cajun fiddle album, on Smithsonian Folkways.
He learned the banjo by age six, the guitar by his eighth year, and was researching Cajun music as a college student. In his youth he performed as part of a duo at a music festival in France. At the festival he was exposed to centuries-old French music, which he identified with the Cajun music of French Louisiana. He played mandolin on his old Rounder Records/Rounder album, Le Hoogie Boogie.

We don't want to see any doors closed to students. The very poor are taken care of with grants, the well-to-do have never had to worry about this, but it's those in the middle that are going to struggle.
We fully support the reintroduction of grants for needy students, but my heavens, (they are) unbelievably narrowly targeted.
A man-made tragedy caused by Mother Nature.
Thank you for being here and supporting la belle terre, this beautiful land.
If Ontario needs a first-rate post-secondary education system, then in our view, the bulk of the funding for that should come from general revenues of the provincial government.
We have to learn to live with them.
