Study Warns: ‘Toxic Compounds’ Found in Sun-Exposed Plastic Bottles
Louisiana folks already have a hard time keeping cool in the summertime, and now we have to worry that our bottled water might be unsafe to drink. We have all forgotten our water bottles in the car on a hot summer day at some point. If you leave them in your car or in the sun long enough, you may have noticed that they have a strange chemical-like aftertaste.

These 26 Country Stars Are From Here In The Arklatex
With the relatively recent rise to stardom of several locals, we began to ponder what would be left in country music if it weren't for Shreveport and the Arklatex?. Just over the last few years, we've added the likes of Jordan Davis from Shreveport, Lainey Wilson from Baskin, La. (I realize that's a little bit of a stretch from us, but it's just over 100 miles) and most recently, we've been entertained with the debut single "We Ride" from Logansport's own Bryan Martin.

Enforcement of Louisiana's Ten Commandment classroom requirement put on pause
Louisiana's new law requiring all public school classrooms display the Ten Commandments will not be publicly enforced or endorsed in any way until November 15, 2024, according to a new court filing in the ongoing legal battle over the policy. Both parties agreed that the Ten Commandments will not be posted in any public school classroom and defendants -- including the state's Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education -- and schools will not publicly move forward on the law's implementation until November. Lester Duhe, a spokesperson for the Louisiana Attorney General's office, clarified that the defendants "agreed not to take public-facing compliance measures" until then because it will give time for "briefing, oral arguments and a decision" ahead of the January 2025 date in which schools have to have the Ten Commandments. The January requirement still stands pending the outcome of the suit.
