The Leaders Against Litter Committee (LAL) has completed another year of working to Keep Sabine Clean! This past year the Committee completed the education of all Sabine Parish school kids in grades K-5, talking to the kids about how litter presents health and environmental, threatens wildlife, and, based on the Parish Litter Ordinance, can result in significant fines.

The Committee also organized a Spring and Fall Trash Bash, encouraging Parish residents to get out and pick up trash. Adults and youth groups, alike, participated, selecting their neighborhood roads and highways, bringing these areas back to the inherent beauty of our parish.

Speaking Out for Louisiana Citizens

Speaking Out for Louisiana Citizens

LOSING POPULATION

It was recently reported by Dan Fagan of The Advocate that Louisiana was one of four states with a population drop of five figures or more between July 2018 and July 2019. The Census Bureau reported Louisiana lost 10,896 people during those twelve months. The Bureau also reported more than 26,000 people chose to leave Louisiana and move to other U.S. states during that time. Our net population dropped only by 10,896 because we had approximately 15,000 more births than deaths during those twelve months.

Patchwork

Our last camping trip with the Camping Cursillistas was to beautiful Lake Bruin on the Mississippi River, south of Vicksburg. It was in early November, when we loaded our campers and headed from Many, Slidell, Lake Charles, Haughton and beyond.

Usually, we camp at Indian Creek in Woodworth, but Judy and Irby Gamble invited us to camp on Lake Bruin, where they have a wonderful camp/home. (Gamble coached Tiger football in Many many years ago and hails from Marthaville.)

We all arrived at different times…. some in their usual campers and some in new ones. It was like old home week on the lake!! We took turns providing the evening suppers, but enjoyed eating inside two nights at the Gamble’s abode! Irby fried catfish one night and if we weren’t enough, they invited other nearby Cursillistas that we knew, so we could visit with old friends.
