LSUS wins NAIA National Championship!
As a proud LSUS alum, I can say that I was a little nervous mentioning the Pilots baseball team last week in my article. I’m not superstitious, but I am a littlestitious. Turns out I had nothing to worry about as the Pilots finished their storybook story on Friday, a perfect 59-0 on the season. Remarkable.
What Are They Hiding?
Dear Readers: Several weeks have elapsed since my first FOCUS SB article on the DCFS (Dept. Of Children and Family Services) and its handling of children placed in the State’s care and custody. It appears my initial investigation and report to you was only the tip of the iceberg. The situation appears more dire than I first suspected.
Habemus Papam! (We Have A Pope!)

Caddo Day at the Capitol
Caddo Day at the Capitol on April 24 was a high impact, short turnaround trip that united members of various government and private sector entities to take the concerns of Caddo Parish to the state Capitol with a unified front. For many years, people have complained that our community needs to show unity at that State level, and this inaugural trip was an excellent beginning to addressing that concern. From the planning process to the attendees, this group exhibited a diverse makeup of Caddo leaders from different agencies, political parties, races, ages, and other descriptors that aren’t always represented in the public eye as cohesive. But the resounding success of this trip showed just what we had suspected-that we make a much bigger impact together.
