Baton Rouge — The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV), in cooperation with the Louisiana State Police, is alerting residents to a recurring text message scam that attempts to steal personal information and charge bogus fees.
In this latest version of the scam, many Louisiana residents have reported receiving text messages falsely claiming that they have an “outstanding traffic ticket” and must pay a fine to avoid penalties. Authorities confirm that these messages are fraudulent and urge the public not to click any links, respond to the messages, or submit payment.
The OMV has emphasized that it does not send text messages or emails threatening legal action for traffic or fee violations. Residents are advised to ignore and delete any suspicious messages immediately.
To help the public avoid falling victim to this and similar scams, the OMV has issued the following safety tips:
Do not click on links contained in unsolicited messages from unknown sources
Do not respond or provide personal information via text message
Delete all suspicious texts and emails and report them to reportfraud.ftc.gov
Be cautious with any communication from unverified or anonymous senders
Confirm that any message was generated from a legitimate source
Watch for common warning signs of scams such as vague website links, poor grammar, and promises of rewards
Louisiana residents looking to conduct legitimate OMV business are encouraged to visit the official website at http://www.expresslane.org.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and advise the public to remain vigilant. Anyone who suspects they have been targeted or victimized by a scam is encouraged to file a report with the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement.

Do you remember the childhood story of Chicken Little? Chicken Little ran around the town telling everyone that “the sky is falling.” Chicken Little was exposed as a slightly neurotic and very anxious chicken, who arrived at an erroneous conclusion based on inaccurate information and it cost her heavily!
I think Chicken Little has taken over. We live in a world that is afraid the “sky is falling.” I want to ask you, “Has the sky fallen?” I am looking out my window right now and the sky is firmly in place. Gravity is working. Automobiles and pedestrians are moving along without conflict. Economic transactions are taking place. Best of all, the internet is working today.
Jesus lamented once that we are like sheep without a shepherd. I think we are like sheep, but the new accepted shepherd is leading us astray. We have fallen in to following science as our “shepherds.” We have elevated scientists to God-like levels of respect and awe. If a scientist says it, it must be true. Everyone knows that there has never been a flawed scientific study or conclusion. Anyone heard of the ozone layer?
I love science. I am not one of those that think the world was created in October 4004 B.C. I think God made the dinosaurs as a beta test for birds and lizards. I think God gave us petrochemicals as a gift and He wonders why we are trying to fuel our machines with our food! I don’t believe that science and God are in conflict. But I don’t worship science. As some of you like to question God, I like to question scientific conclusions.
I want to suggest that scientists are the “chicken little’s” of our time. Have you heard this phrase, “scientists fear that…?” Scientists are afraid of many things. They are afraid of global warming. They are afraid of viruses. They are afraid of obesity. They are afraid that the cure for one disease may give you another disease. They fear secondhand smoke, lead based paint, asbestos in floor tiles, incandescent light bulbs, not enough forests and too many trees. Scientists fear the sun will have storms or not glow as bright. They fear an asteroid will hit us that we don’t see or that the world’s electromagnetic poles will shift. They are afraid we drink too much coffee and get too little exercise. They fear the carbon footprint. Lest you forget every time you breathe out, you are contributing to the carbon footprint! Our breathing scares them! These same scientists are worried about bovine flatulence. (If cow gas is a problem, I’m going to do my part and eat more steak!) Scientists sound like “chicken little.” Of course I want to say of their research, “Follow the money.”
Funny, none of the things scientists “fear” has happened. So, the next time you hear a scary about our world, listen for the phrase, “scientists fear that…”
Then I want you to remember Jesus said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled and don’t let them be afraid.”

Summertime In The South Hard To Beat For Good Food
Folks who live in other parts of the good ole U S of A don’t know what they’re missing when it comes to sitting down at the table, especially during summertime.
This time of year, we have food available to us that folks up north don’t appreciate and probably wouldn’t even if they sampled it. Their taste buds are more attuned to stuff that’s been sauteed or poached or whatever. Down here, our food, especially here in summer, is romping with flavor and is just flat out delicious.
Let’s start with fishing. I see posts on social media of northerners cooking fish in ways we wouldn’t think of cooking. Their fish are boiled or simmered in butter after being coated with flour. I have sampled fish cooked this way but I prefer our southern tradition hands down.
Bluegill bream is one of our favorites and we don’t poach ours; we scrape and gut them before coating whole bream with yellow mustard and roll them around in salted meal before dropping them in a pot of hot peanut oil.
When they turn brown and crispy, there is only one way southerners eat a bream. First step is to turn it around so you’re looking at the hind end and take a crispy bite of the tail. It’s like biting down on a potato chip only much more flavorful. Then we carefully remove the back fin – some call it unzipping the fish – and gently pull the sides apart. Avoiding bones, when these parts are dipped into tartar sauce or ketchup, this is some fine eating when adding fries and hush puppies on the side.
It’s time to mention stuff that is grown here in gardens, and I’m not talking things like kale or spinach. I’m talking purple hull peas, tomatoes, okra, sweet corn et al.
I grew up with a custom that is still imprinted in my brain. The whole family would gather on the porch, each with a pan and sitting between us was a big tub of purple hull peas that were still damp with dew from being picked that morning, saving the hulls our milk cow saw as a special treat.
This was a great time to catch up on the day’s neighborhood news like how Aunt Lucy was feeling after her untimely accident when her milk cow kicked her when she pinched too hard while milking old Bossy.
Before electricity came to Goldonna, mama would wash the shelled peas, save out enough for dinner and then preserve the rest by canning them in glass jars, peas that would feed us until pea picking time next year.
I can still see mama pouring peas for today’s dinner into a boiler, season them up with salt, pepper and drippings from the bacon we had for breakfast and let them simmer while she put together the ingredients for a pone of her corn bread. She would also take a few pods of okra picked that morning, boil them on the side and when done, drop them in the pot of peas.
The meal that we had several times a week would consist of peas, boiled okra, corn bread and slices of tomato along with ears of cooked-until-tender sweet corn. Sweet pickles would add just the right tang to the meal. The whole shebang was washed down with sweet tea.
For dessert, mama always had a or pie cooling on the side board that we enjoyed after the garden feast, unless you were too full and had to wait and have it with coffee later.
Given today’s political climate, lots of northerners are moving south and we welcome them here. Just don’t even think about bringing your recipes on poaching or boiling fish or how to cook kale with you. Come sit at our table and find out what real fine eating is all about.

Twenty-eight dedicated and devout youth from Hodge United Pentecostal Church recently embarked on a trip to Indianapolis, IN, for the 2025 National American Youth Congress (NAYC), the largest gathering of Apostolic youth in America.
Held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on July 23-25, the NAYC is a biennial event focused on teenagers and young adults, with typical attendees ranging from Junior High ages and upward. From its inception in 1979, NAYC features dynamic worship services, powerful preaching, and practical breakout sessions.
Meteors (falling stars) descend through space at an accelerated speed; burn out in the earth’s atmosphere and scatter debris below. Some are large enough to cause damage. Many years ago a meteor settled down in the city of Sylacauga, Alabama.
After landing, the star made a Sylacauga woman an instant celebrity. Not many people have had a falling star land on their house. Her story was backed up by evidence; the meteor is now on display in a museum. The heavens hold many mysteries…
A star fell on Ephesus; was named Artemis and became an idol of worship. The people felt threatened by Apostle Paul’s preaching against idols.
“Inside, the people were all shouting, some one thing and some another. Everything was in confusion. In fact, most of them didn’t even know why they were there. The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward and told him to explain the situation. He motioned for silence and tried to speak. But when the crowd realized he was a Jew, they started shouting again and kept it up for about two hours: ‘Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!’
At last the mayor was able to quiet them down enough to speak. ‘Citizens of Ephesus,’ he said. ‘Everyone knows that Ephesus is the official guardian of the temple of the great Artemis, whose image fell down to us from heaven. Since this is an undeniable fact, you should stay calm and not do anything rash. You have brought these men here, but they have stolen nothing from the temple and have not spoken against our goddess (Acts 19:32-37 NLT).”
God created all the stars in the sky; falling, they are lifeless hunks of rock.

“Local Pride on Every Ride” Your Town, Your Truck!”
Jonesboro Mayor James “Spike” Harris is pleased to announce that the Town of Jonesboro Sanitation Department now has its very own garbage truck. The investment comes on the heels of the Jonesboro Board of Aldermen passing a resolution that allowed for the Town of Jonesboro Public Works Department to pick up its own waste, meaning faster and more cost-efficient service.
“By moving forward with this means more than just purchasing a truck,” said Harris. “This is a symbol of progress and self-reliance for our town and a commitment to keeping our streets clean and our neighborhoods beautiful.”
Prior to the advancement, the Town of Jonesboro contracted an outside company to pick up trash, which will now be done by town employees, resulting in huge savings in this area.
While being another example of the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen working together to move Jonesboro forward and improve the financial status of the town, Harris gives credit to what is sure to be a benefit to the town to former Jonesboro Councilman Alvin “Kim” Jones, who first introduced the idea years ago.
“Alvin is the one who first championed this effort and deserves the credit for us being in this position now,” reflected Harris. “While a councilman and even after, he was always working for ways to better our community. I wish he were still with us to see his idea come to fruition.”
At present, the Town of Jonesboro Sanitation Department is scheduled to begin picking up waste in the community on August 4th. See below for the days and streets that will have their trash picked up on Monday-Thursday each week.
That is what the administration, faculty, and staff of all the educational institutions of Jackson Parish School District (JPSD) want to convey to parents and students for the upcoming 2025-26 school year.
Proof that better student attendance means better student success was shown recently when, after an increase in attendance across the board at the local schools during the 2024-25 school year, Jackson Parish Schools had the third highest increase in LEAP standard scoring.
In an effort to show even more improvement this upcoming school year, the JPSD is focusing on reducing truancy and encouraging families to schedule vacations, appointments, and events around the school calendar (shown below) whenever possible.
