To all essential workers,

The purpose of this letter is to recognize and pay tribute to you, the essential worker.

For the past fifteen months, we have faced a succession of disastrous events.

The Covid-19 golbal pandemic, months of lockdowns, two major hurricanes, days of power otages, and hte to cap it off, Winn Parish expereinced an ice and now storm that once again tried to paralyze us.

Through it all there was one group of people that demonstrated the most selfless of characteristics - - the essence of “service above self.”

These people were on the front line, the unseen workers, every day exposing themselves and their family to servicing us.

Stop and think where would we be without them?

Two Louisiana inventors, Nita Gassen and Judy Schott, will pitch the esteemed panel of tough Shark investors on ABC’s business reality show “Shark Tank” on Friday, February 26, at 7 p.m. Central. (WGNO-TV) The two moms turned entrepreneurs, who tried dozens of innovations to save time making beds, invented the Better Bedder sheet fastener in 2018.

“We were pinching ourselves the whole time we were on set pitching these billionaire Sharks,” Gassen said. “We still can’t believe they picked us to go on the show.”

The world of video games and esports is moving at a blistering pace across the country. The same can be said for the newly launched Northwestern State University Esports program offering students of all skill levels the chance to play and compete in some of the most popular games in the country.

At its core esports is the world of organized, competitive games. Players from around the world compete in various leagues, on teams or individually, and face off against one another. Games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Overwatch and Madden are played in front of millions of fans in both live events and through online streaming services like Twitch.

The industry has exploded over the past several years, and NSU has taken the lead in esports in the state with its new state-of-the-art facility.

Linda Dupree of Goldonna got the surprise of her life when she was asked at the last minute to play the piano at a funeral last week. She plays the piano regularly, but it wasn’t the impromptu ask to play that caught her off guard; it was who she was accompanying. It was none other than recording artist Lauren Daigle.

Daigle, of Lake Charles, is best known for her hit “You Say.” Dupree said her former teaching colleague was Daigle’s aunt, who has Calvin roots. We were at the funeral. “Todd Martin asked me to accompany him as he sang. No rehearsal except for something whispered a few minutes before the service. He’s a former student. We’ve performed together many, many times over the years,” Dupree said.

“Then he said, ‘Oh by the way, would you play “When the Saints Go Marching In” at the end for Lauren?’” That big grin of Daigle’s popped around his shoulder.

Students in Northwestern State University’s President’s Leadership Program and staff in the Office of the First Year Experience participated in a service project for the NSU Food Pantry on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day They spent the morning organizing, stocking the shelves, and sanitizing so that the food pantry could open for the spring semester. Participants in the project included Kilee Pickett, Kat Haymon, Sha’Ron Brown, Chancy Daigle, Mariah Kado, Zoe Nelson, Mikalee Sawyer, Ashlynn LaCombe, Anna McMillon, Ebenezer Aggrey and Reatha Cox.

The NSU Food Pantry is located on the south side of Trisler Power Plant on NSU’s Central Avenue. The Food Pantry also stocks personal hygiene items, toiletries and cleaning supplies and is open to all NSU students and BPCC@NSU students.

Many children look forward to the time they get time off from school for holidays.

For some, however, these breaks can be a difficult time. During holidays, children who rely on their school cafeterias for regular meals may find themselves at home with little to eat.

To help make sure these kids have something to eat during the Christmas break, 4-H members and volunteers in Vernon Parish recently collected food items and delivered them to more than 300 students in need at local schools. The 4- H’ers do the same thing three times a year: before the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays.
