This is a busy news week.  There is a lot of things happening in Red River Parish in addition to all the aspects of the COVID-19 virus outbreak.  So enjoy all of the stories in this edition.  Looks like there will be even more on Friday.

One note:  You may see a repeat of some information from story to story.  This will usually occur when discussing safety measures or changes some entities are making.  This is a fast evolving story.  The Journal will update stories as things develop.  We will also issue COVID-19 updates when needed between regular Wednesday and Friday editions.  The Journal is digital and unlike traditional newspapers updates can come quickly.

Congratulations to Red River’s MaKalia Lewis.  The basketball senior was selected to the Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches Association Girls All State First Team.  Lewis is a graduating senior and she has signed an athletic scholarship with BPCC.

If you have church service updates, business changes, or other events that are a result of the COVID-19 virus outbreak, please email them to The Journal.  The email to use is RedRiverParishJournal@gmail.com.
