SUMMARY: Claire Hermon, a senior at Elder High School, organized the school’s first-ever homecoming dance, typically not held at the school.

SUMMARY: Aaron Hebert expressed relief upon learning that Lawrence Hecker pleaded guilty to sexual abuse, describing it as a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Mega-ammonia project could position Louisiana as clean energy leader | Louisiana
SUMMARY: A proposed $7.5 billion ammonia production facility in Ascension Parish aims to establish Louisiana as a leader in clean energy. The project, led by Clean Hydrogen Works, plans to create the largest ammonia production supply chain, with a 150% increase in global production anticipated over 25 years. The facility will utilize a carbon reduction method that captures carbon internally, releasing none into the atmosphere. Community engagement is prioritized, with job training programs and local partnerships, including with ExxonMobil for CO2 storage. Operations are set to begin in 2029, targeting global markets for energy and industrial applications.
