Patchwork

By Donna Smith Ammons

I loved my Gramma Ankrom. She was a short lady who was always buzzing around the kitchen, stitching clothes or measuring me for patterns she drew on newspaper.

It was not unusual for her to stir up pudding on the stove, if I needed a late night snack.

I didn’t get to spend near enough time with my Gramma, because we were always moving. I did get to spend an entire summer one year and looked forward to seeing her with regularity when we lived in Arizona and they were in Garden Grove, California.

I reminded myself of my dear Gramma on a recent trip to north Arkansas, to see my oldest granddaughter, Riley Kate. I had promised her I would take her school clothes shopping since she would be starting 7th grade in a new school.

Speaking Out for Louisiana Citizens

By Pete Abington

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION?

It has been 45 years since the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Politicians have stated many times that we need to redo our constitution, only that statement always seems to go nowhere. This became more prevalent in this last regular session, yet it has been almost three months and nothing has been said since. One thing is for sure, they had better think it through before we do. Our state is so complex that we have several hundred amendments to our present constitution and something needs to be done. In the event they do have a constitution convention, everything needs to be looked at, even topics like - do we need to elect a Lt. Governor, for instance. We could ask the same question about the insurance and agriculture commissioners.

Sabine responders get tools to fight opiate overdose

Local first responders have a new resource in helping them fight the opioid epidemic plaguing our state.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office has granted the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office a total of 30 vials of Naloxone, a prescription medication that counteracts the effects of opioids to restore breathing during an overdose. The live-saving drugs were made available through a $1 million legal settlement between Landry and Pfizer.

“The abuse and misuse of opioids throughout Louisiana is a public safety crisis that has unfortunately taken the lives of many of our state’s people,” said Landry. “I appreciate the proactive work done by our first responders to fight back against this epidemic, and I am glad we are able to give them the Nalaxone at no cost to the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office.”
