Good morning, Slidell.
💼 Business
St. Tammany Health System was ranked as one of the best places to work by CityBusiness magazine for the fourth consecutive year — it employs over 3,000 staff across more than two dozen clinics on the Northshore.
🎓 Education
Four Southeastern Louisiana University faculty were honored as 40 Under 40 by Northshore Media Group’s Edge of the Lake magazine at a special event held at the Southern Hotel (downtown Covington).
The honorees include Maria Brylski, Brent Blazevich, Katherine Newell Evans, and Myia L. Graves.
🏛️ Government
U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy introduced a bill requiring Customs to pay $38.5 million in accrued interest on seafood dumping duties, with $10.6 million supporting Louisiana crawfish producers.
The measure aims to help local seafood businesses face China’s pricing tactics.
The westbound side of Claiborne Avenue Bridge is closed from 9 a.m. to noon for drain cleaning (eastbound traffic is reduced to one lane), so drivers should use the St. Claude or Florida Avenue bridges as alternatives.
🏈 Sports
Former Mount Carmel coach Taylor Ricaud has been hired by Pope John Paul II to lead their volleyball team yesterday; she said the move gives her a fresh start closer to home (her son will begin school nearby).
