BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry announced Thursday that upcoming U.S. House of Representatives races have been suspended following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The court ruled Wednesday that Louisiana’s current congressional district maps constitute an unconstitutional gerrymander, and using them in the upcoming elections would violate the law.
Landry has certified the emergency under state law, a mandatory step before the governor issues an executive order to officially suspend the House races.
Despite the suspension of the congressional contests, all other races on the ballot will proceed as scheduled. Early voting for those remaining races will take place as scheduled from May 2-9.
“Our office will post notices at each of the early voting sites to alert the public of this change,” Landry said. “While the U.S. House races will remain on voters’ ballots, any votes cast in those races will not be counted”.
Four firefighters from Bossier Parish Fire District #1 recently attended the Fire Department Instructors Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The opportunity was made possible through the Olinde-Porche Legacy scholarship awarded by the Louisiana Fire Chiefs Association.
Captain Dale Hardy, Captain Jeffrey Hardy, Firefighter Jc Calhoun and Firefighter Jac Calhoun participated in the conference, where they received training and instruction from experts across the country.
Department officials said the knowledge and experience gained will be shared with other members, helping to expand training in modern firefighting tactics and skills.

Benton’s Tigers are the last Shreveport-Bossier baseball team alive in the LHSAA postseason, after Calvary and Loyola were knocked out in quarterfinal series Thursday.
Loyola dropped a pair of one-run decisions, leaving the tying run on base in both games, in a doubleheader at Lafayette against Acadiana Renaissance Charter in Select Division II. The bitter defeats ended a 21-16 season for the fifth-seeded Flyers, who made state quarterfinal appearances in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1998-99.
Jake Black had a pair of hits in Game 1 and delivered three in the second game for Loyola.
Destrehan, seeded 14th in Non-Select Division I, opened a 4-0 lead and held off No. 6 Benton (29-7-2) Thursday night in Game 1 of their best-of-3 series. The Tigers hope to even the series tonight, weather permitting, and play a decisive third game Saturday. Benton came back from a Game 1 loss to win its regional round series.
Calvary could not solve Dunham’s pitching in two Select Division III quarterfinal games and the Tigers advanced to the state semifinals Thursday with a 2-0 series win. The third-seeded Cavs scored only three times in the two games.

You’d think that with all the shiny (and in one case, historic) facilities that have the YMCA logo on them that retiring CEO Gary Lash would have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to his proudest accomplishments.
Bricks and mortar are nice, but that’s not what Lash is all about.
“It’s what the Y means to the community,” he says. “What would the community be like if it wasn’t for the Y?”
It would be different, that’s for sure.
There is the venerable downtown Y, which is a throwback in time. Lots and lots of time, since it was built in 1925.
There is BHP Billiton YMCA at the corner of Knight and Preston Streets, built in 2017. That was followed in 2024 by the Lash Family YMCA on Ellerbe Road, built on the land that was once used as the YMCA’s Camp Forbing.
The latest jewel is the Caddo Parish Premier Park baseball facility, located just off the Clyde Fant Parkway, that hosted its first event last weekend.
Those are nice, but not what Lash considers his biggest success stories. It’s people, not buildings.
“Staying true to the mission of the Y and building facilities, by the intervention of God, for the community,” he says of the legacy he’s been a part of for more than two decades.
“Forming the staff that we have that’s committed to the mission. To bring families together and try to re-create strong family ties and family bonds, but also relationships, family to family, with other families and people. I think sports brings people together. All people.”
If you want to be official about it, Gary Lash has actually already “retired” from being the CEO. He did that in December, when he tossed the keys to Raymond Lee, who has been with the organization for 21 years in a variety of capacities. But those who know Lash weren’t the least bit surprised to find out that after he retired, he kept working – by continuing as the Project Director for the new baseball complex.
There were still parking lots to stripe, sidewalks to install, scoreboard to connect … hey, somebody had to do it.
Earlier this week, with the facility now open, he was back across the street in front of the BHP YMCA with a shovel in his hand helping his wife plant flower bulbs.
Somebody has to do it.
Which basically describes how Lash began his career with the YMCA in 2003. He had worked a variety of jobs, mostly in sales, when he got the tap on the shoulder one day and informed that his services were no longer required.
At age 51, that’s no time to re-start a career. But he knew where he needed to be.
He was named as CEO for the YMCA in 2003 but before you think that was a cushy job that allowed him plenty of time to put his feet on his desk, think again.
“I was cleaning toilets, changing lightbulbs, blowing grass … just doing what needed to be done,” Lash says. “Because that’s what was required at the time. (The Y) was not in good shape. financially or facility wise or anything. But that’s where I felt God called me to be. So 2003 was a jump start. I think by people seeing that commitment we made, not only with staff, but I think community bought into it. And it’s paid off, as far as building these facilities and having people feeling like theirs.”
There is simply no comparison from where the YMCA was to where it is now.
The community may look at buildings to measure success, but it’s “building” that Lash uses to measure that.
“We have built an organization where people all over the community and all ages can come together and have some common bond and become friends,” he says. “There’s a lot of people that have met each other and built friendships in our facilities. And now with the baseball (facility) it is going to magnify that.”
Lash says he has been thinking about stepping away for a couple of years. Now 74 years old, he felt like the timing was right.
“It’s been a difficult situation, a difficult job, but it’s brought many blessings.” Lash says. “My family has been a Y family for forever. My wife has worked here for 40 years. The boys worked at summer camps. They played sports. We’ve given a lot to the Y, and God has blessed us. We couldn’t have done these kinds of things without that intervention of God.
“It’s time to go do something else,” he says. “I guess I’ll go home and maybe figure that out.”

NATCHITOCHES — Parkway competitors, led by Brennan Robin’s double in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, captured three of the eight event victories by local boys at the Region 1-5A track and field championships Thursday in rainy weather at the refurbished Walter P. Ledet Track Complex at Northwestern State.
Captain Shreve’s Leah Bryant and Byrd’s Emmy Banker paced Shreveport-Bossier girls by sweeping their specialties. Bryant took the 100 and 300 meter hurdles races and Banker won the 1600 and 3200. Airline’s Shelby Ledet prevailed in the high jump. There were 13 local girls entries advancing to the LHSAA Championships next weekend in Baton Rouge with top three finishes.
In the boys division, along with Parkway’s three wins (the other in the 4×800 relay), Huntington (Adrian Payne, 300 hurdles, and the 4×200 relay team) and Benton (Caden Austin, pole vault, and Jordan Johnson, high jump) each posted two gold medal performances and Byrd had one (Wyatt Ditt, 400). A total of 25 local athletes and relay teams earned trips to Baton Rouge for the state meet.
The Region 1-4A meet was held concurrently. Bossier’s Quinton Hodge was a double winner, taking the boys 800 and 1600 crowns, among five boys event victories. Northwood got gold medal efforts from Kriston Johnson in the discus and Jeremiah Johnson in the 200 dash, and from the Falcons’ 4×200 relay foursome.
In Region 1-4A girls competition, Northwood’s 4×100 relay was the only local winner among 10 state meet qualifying performances – two by Bossier’s Zamarion Carter, in the 100 meter hurdles and the long jump.
Alexandria Senior High won the boys 1-5A regional team title with 60 points. Huntington tied for third with Ruston at 51, with Parkway fifth (46), Benton seventh (44), Airline eighth (37) and Byrd 10th (24) in the standings.
ASH also took the girls team championship with 121 points. Byrd was fifth at 44, Shreve seventh (38), Huntington eighth (33) and Airline 10th (15).
No team scores were posted with the Region 1-4A results.
The Ledet Complex added a new Mondo track oval and lights and a video board among nearly $2 million in improvements during the offseason. The lights came in handy due to some delays caused by intermittent rains.

BATON ROUGE – For the last four decades, the first weekend in May has been an alarm clock for eight-time College World Series champion LSU.
It means five weekends until the start of the NCAA tournament when the Tigers begin their annual march to Omaha, where they’ve appeared in 29 CWS in the last 39 full seasons.
Some years, LSU has used May to fine-tune minor weaknesses, like finding a consistent third starting pitcher or deepening its bullpen.
In other seasons, it’s been a mad dash for the Tigers to rally in May for an NCAA tourney berth, where LSU played in 33 of the last 36 years.
But the present unfathomable reality for the defending national champions (25-21 overall, 6-15 SEC) is the immediate goal vs. South Carolina (22-24, 7-14 SEC) here this weekend of snapping a school-record nine-game league losing streak.
Inconsistent play in every phase of the game, poor transfer portal signees, season-ending injuries, and a myriad of pulled muscles and bruises have transformed fifth-year head coach Jay Johnson’s post-national title rebuilding project into a demolition derby.
In a blink, LSU has plummeted from two national championships in the last four years to a team that will likely miss its first NCAA tourney since 2011, possibly suffer its first losing season since 1981, and break its school’s season record for most SEC losses (17).
“We’ve been playing teams that if you win, you can get a bump from it,” Johnson said. “We just haven’t been able to get over the hump in close games in league play, which has been our staple.
“Your season is going to be determined by how you play in close games, especially in league play. And we haven’t been on the good side of any of them. We just haven’t.”
In five of LSU’s last six SEC losses, the Tigers have led or been tied at through 5½ or more innings and lost every game. LSU has been swept in three consecutive SEC series for the first time in program history.
Last weekend, the Tigers were swept at Mississippi State after 7-2 through 6½ innings in game one, 7-1 after 5½ innings in game two, and 8-5 after 5½ innings in game three.
“There are a lot of reasons for that (failing to close out games),” Johnson said. “In some cases, it’s fundamentals, whether that’s straight throwing, a defensive play, the effectiveness of the bullpen, or a clutch hit.
“I know it sounds weird, because we just lost three close ones last weekend. But I think we’re moving in a direction where we’re not as far away from winning those games.”
Johnson can’t explain why he believes that.
He’s lost his top two starting pitchers – one for the season (Kansas transfer Cooper Moore) and his best hitter (Jake Brown) in the last two weeks. Assorted nagging injuries are piling up.
He’s basically benched four of his Class of 2026 transfers – first baseman/designated hitter Zach Yorke, and infielders Seth Dardar, Trent Caraway and Brayden Simpson.
Finally, Johnson has decided to ride or die with true freshmen catcher/designated hitter Omar Serna Jr., first baseman Mason Braun, right fielder William Patrick, and second baseman Jack Ruckert.
In LSU’s series at Mississippi State, Serna Jr. hit .571 (8-for-14) with two doubles, three homers, six RBI and six runs scored. Braun batted .538 (7-for-13) in the Mississippi State series with one triple, two RBI and four runs scored.
“I’m very confident in the human beings of those four freshmen position players, and I see enough baseball to where they could be winning-type players and more than that,” Johnson said.
“When Omar pulled his name out of the (major league) draft (last summer), we knew we had a really good player. When I evaluated Mason, I thought he would be a really good hitter, and he’s going to be. When you look at Jack, he’s a very skilled and fundamentally sound player. William, by far the best athlete on the team, and he’s also a great competitor.
“For all those guys, it’s just a matter of time and reps. We’re in a spot right now where those guys are going to get it.”

Bossier Parish Community College freshman point guard Tony Montgomery picks up the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches’ junior college player of the year award in Baton Rouge Saturday, a couple days after he received a prestigious invitation to a summer event showcasing 48 top JUCO players from around the country.
Montgomery has been invited to attend the JA48 invite from JUCO Advocate Scouting Service. Invitations go only to the top 48 juco players in the country who will be sophomores next season.
The event is July 9-10 in Richmond, Va., with Division 1 college coaches from across the country will be in attendance to evaluate and recruit the standouts for their 2027-28 rosters.
To provide some measure of the value of the event, among last year’s attendees – 35 have already signed D1 scholarships, two have signed D2 scholarships, and nine more have D1 offers and will be making a decision soon, said BPCC coach Jeff Moore.
“This is a really great opportunity for Tony. It’s recognition of his talent and his productivity for Bossier Parish Community College this past season,” said Moore.
A 6-foot-1 point guard from Columbus, Georgia, Montgomery delivered a dominant freshman campaign for the Cavaliers. He earned first team All-Region XIV honors — one of only two freshmen named to the first team — while leading the region in both scoring (19.5 points per game) and assists (4.9 per game).
Montgomery was productive across the board for BPCC with averages of 3.9 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game, while shooting 42 percent from the field (202-of-477), 32 percent from three-point range (58-of-182), and 77 percent from the free throw line (139-of-181).
“As a freshman in the top junior college league in the country, Tony proved to be one of the top players by leading Region 14 in scoring and assists despite being each team’s focal point defensively, facing every defensive scheme to try to slow him down,” said Moore. “I am most proud of his growth this season as a leader at the point guard position.”
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office is partnering with Galilee Baptist Church to support a month-long community initiative focused on mental health and domestic violence awareness.

They will include guided discussions led by local mental health professionals and community partners, offering insight into recognizing warning signs, responding effectively, and taking steps toward recovery.
The weekly schedule includes:
May 6 – Understanding and Awareness
Sessions will introduce key concepts related to mental health and domestic violence, including common conditions, warning signs, and the broader impact on individuals and families.
May 13 – Recognizing the Signs and Impact
Discussions will focus on how mental health challenges appear in daily life and explore the emotional, psychological, and physical effects of domestic violence.
May 20 – Responding and Taking Steps Forward
Participants will receive practical guidance on how to support those experiencing mental health challenges and how to safely respond to domestic violence while connecting individuals to trusted resources.
May 27 – Closing Gathering

A devoted enthusiast of line dancing, she brought rhythm and energy to every gathering. At home, Pat found great joy in the simple pleasures of life; she was an avid reader and loved to cook for those she held dear. Her adventurous spirit, her creativity in the kitchen, and her love for a good book will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her.
