Kevin Hawkins admits to loving history. He is especially drawn to the World War II era. That’s ironic considering where he spends his days working.

It’s all over the news, and you are likely painfully aware that we are in a major drought right now in Louisiana. The Mississippi River is at its lowest level in more than 100 years. Your lawns are probably toast if you have not been watering, and your landscape trees and shrubs are likely showing signs of stress.

Veterans Day (Friday) is a day to remember and reflect on the sacrifices of our military veterans and also to thank them for their service. Continue to celebrate our veterans and their families throughout the year. The National Alliance on Mental Illness – Ruston, Louisiana, Chapter (NAMI Ruston), NAMI Louisiana, and NAMI salute all active-duty service men and women, veterans, and their families for preserving America’s freedoms. When an important person in your life has a mental health condition, you face unique challenges: complex family dynamics, social isolation, and unpredictable aspects of the disorder. It can be overwhelming.
