If you grew up in the 1960s, you remember that nightly public service announcement that came on right before the late news: “It’s 10 PM. Do you know where your children are?”
Of course, our parents didn’t know where we were. It was the 60s. Half the time we didn’t know where we were. Childhood back then was a free range, unsupervised, loosely organized adventure involving bicycles with no helmets, creeks with questionable water quality, and a general understanding that you should be home “before dark,” which could mean anything from 5:30 PM to the next morning depending on the season and your mother’s mood.
Today’s parents track their children with GPS, Bluetooth, satellite imaging, and—if necessary—a drone. In the 60s, the only tracking device was your mother’s voice hollering your name across three neighborhoods like a foghorn powered by righteous indignation. And somehow, that worked.
Back then, if you told your mom, you were “going outside,” that was considered a complete itinerary. No one asked follow up questions. No one needed a permission slip. You could be building a treehouse, digging a hole to China, or accidentally setting something on fire. As long as you came home eventually and didn’t bleed on the carpet, you were considered a successful child.
And yet, for all the differences between then and now, one thing hasn’t changed: every generation has to figure out life—and faith—for themselves. My generation grew up with three TV channels, rotary phones, and the theological certainty that if you ran in church, God would personally trip you. Today’s kids grow up with smartphones, streaming services, and the ability to Google “Why does my pastor say that?” during the sermon. (Please don’t tell me if you’ve done this.)
But here’s the truth: faith has never been something you inherit like your grandmother’s casserole dish. Each generation has to discover Christ anew—sometimes in ways that surprise the generation before them. And the church, if it wants to stay alive and not become the spiritual equivalent of lukewarm leftovers, has to let the Holy Spirit shape it into a living, breathing, organic body of Christ—not a museum of how things used to be.
The kids who grew up hearing “It’s 10 PM—do you know where your children are?” are now grandparents watching their own grandkids navigate a world we couldn’t have imagined. And just like our parents trusted us to find our way home before dark, we can trust that God is guiding this new generation toward their own encounter with grace. So the next time you worry about “kids these days,” remember: our parents survived us.
And God, who has been faithful through every generation—from rotary phones to TikTok—will be faithful still.
And if you’re reading this after 10 PM, don’t worry. God knows where His children are. Always has. Always will.
Assistant District Attorney Jim Colvin is running for Second Judicial District Attorney now that current DA Danny Newell will be retiring. The Second Judicial District includes Bienville, Claiborne, and Jackson parishes.
Jim is a Ruston High School graduate who played college baseball at Hill Junior College before earning his BA in history from Louisiana Tech University in 1989. Jim married his college sweetheart, Laura John of Monroe, before leaving north Louisiana for graduate school in New Orleans in 1989.
For more than three decades, Jim Colvin has successfully litigated cases across Louisiana. This success and the working relationships he has established with law enforcement in the Second Judicial District and across our state are invaluable to success in the courtroom.
Since returning to the courtroom after COVID, Assistant District Attorney Colvin has tried multiple felony jury trials and has won unanimous verdicts of conviction in each.
In addition to his success in the courtroom, Colvin’s business success in managing multiple offices and employees is an indispensable administrative advantage that he brings to the position of District Attorney.
By law, a DA provides civil representation to local governmental boards and elected officials. For more than thirty-two years, Colvin has provided highly effective legal representation to sheriffs, local public boards and commissions, and town councils—not only locally but all over the State of Louisiana.
Currently, Jim Colvin represents the Claiborne Parish Sheriff, Sam Dowies, the E-911 Claiborne Parish Communications District, Claiborne Parish Hospital Service District #3, Claiborne Memorial Medical Center, the Bienville Parish Hospital Service District #2, the Bienville Family Clinic, Grant Parish Sheriff Steve McCain, Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker, Franklin Parish Sheriff David Rigdon, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux, Rapides Parish Sheriff Mark Wood, East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Jeff Travis, West Feliciana Parish Sheriff Brian Spillman, Acadia Parish Sheriff K.P. Gibson, Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre, and the Bossier Parish Police Jury.
Colvin previously represented the Town of Homer, the Town of Haynesville, the Town of Sarepta, the Town of Grambling, the Town of Athens, the Town of Richwood, the Town of Springhill, and Claiborne Electric.
He attended Loyola University School of Law, where he earned honors as a member of Loyola’s Moot Court Board. He graduated from Loyola in 1992 and became a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association that same year.
Jim and Laura live in Homer, Louisiana where they raised their three children, Jack, Hannah, and Ben. They also have two grandchildren.

Last month, OnPath Federal Credit Union agreed to buy Heritage Bank of St. Tammany in Covington, Louisiana, a century-old institution with deep local roots. The deal was hailed by OnPath CEO Jared Freeman, who praised Heritage’s “unwavering commitment to the local community.” But what Freeman failed to mention is that the acquisition will rob that community of a critical source of revenue.
Because OnPath is a credit union and thus tax-exempt, the deal means that St. Tammany Parish will lose a reliable stream of tax payments. Those dollars help fund schools, pay essential public servants like police officers and firefighters, and support other vital public services across the parish. Once the acquisition is finalized, that revenue will disappear, and the burden of making up the difference will fall squarely on the shoulders of local taxpayers.
The example of OnPath in Louisiana illustrates a much bigger problem across the country: credit unions are no longer the small, member-focused institutions they were established to be. Many have grown into large financial operations, similar to banks, all while enjoying tax-exempt status. Lawmakers must investigate whether credit unions’ tax-exempt status is still necessary in light of their significant growth, which is ultimately leaching revenue from state and local governments and setting the stage for higher taxes on local communities.
The situation in Louisiana is not the first. Texas Dow Employees Credit Union (TDECU) had planned to acquire Sabine Bank and Trust, which is based in Many, Louisiana. Although TDECU ultimately backed away from the acquisition, it underscores the fact that credit unions have strayed far from the original mission Congress envisioned when it exempted them from most federal, state, and local taxes under the Federal Credit Union Act. It’s time for Congress to revisit whether the tax breaks are still justified.
Credit unions like TDECU have grown into large financial institutions by leveraging taxpayer subsidies. Far from its founding mission to serve the residents of Lake Jackson, Texas, TDECU now serves over 380,000 members across the state. Ending 2024 with $4.8 billion in total assets, TDECU’s services have widened to include wealth management investment products through its partnership with LPL Financial, which they even acknowledge as being a conflict of interest. The growth doesn’t stop there. Credit unions are buying community banks at a time when bank consolidation and burdensome regulations are putting extreme pressure on banks’ bottom lines. The current regulatory environment and credit union acquisitions are exacerbating bank consolidation. In fact, data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shows that the number of community banks dropped by 46% over the last two decades, falling from 7,620 in 2003 to 4,129 in 2023. Credit unions are thriving, and skirting taxes while community banks are getting squeezed.
One negative outcome of tax-exempt credit unions acquiring community banks is that local and state governments lose revenue. This essential tax revenue helps fund local schools, projects, and infrastructure. The state of Louisiana has a bank shares tax that funds local communities, but when a credit union acquires a bank, it eliminates that source of revenue and results in less funding for local services. The shortfall in revenue could compel a parish to raise taxes on households to maintain a balanced budget. According to the Tax Foundation, “since 2011, more than 100 credit union–bank acquisition deals have been announced across the country.” Credit unions get to grow and avoid paying taxes, while American households across the country are getting forced to foot the bill at the end of the day.
Americans expect transparency, safeguards, and a level playing field from banks. These same principles should apply to credit unions. This is not about eliminating credit unions; it is about accountability and ensuring the law matches credit unions’ behavior. In an era where credit unions operate more like large financial institutions and less like community-oriented lenders, Congress should conduct oversight hearings and reexamine whether their tax-exempt status still aligns with their actions today. Louisiana taxpayers, in towns like Many and Covington, and in parishes around the state, should not have to pay more taxes because the law, as currently written, allows credit unions to exploit their tax loophole.

Chatham Water System PWS ID# 1049004 Jackson Parish, Louisiana August 14, 2025 For Immediate Release
The boil advisory issued by the Chatham Water System on August 8, 2025, has been lifted. After a Boil Water Advisory is lifted, it is advised that you flush your pipes.
• Begin with sink faucet on the lowest floor.
• Slowly open the cold water sink faucet. Opening slowly allows for the release of trapped air and may reduce the banging noise, known as a “water hammer” that can occur when water flow and pressure changes as a result of water main repair work.
• Repeat on each floor, moving from lowest to highest, only opening cold water sink faucets. • Once the water runs clear, usually in 5 minutes or less, turn off faucets in the same order, lowest to highest.
• You should also flush your refrigerator’s water lines.
• Customers and businesses should also dispose of stored water, drinks, or ice made since the Boil Water Advisory. The next three batches of ice should also be thrown out. Ice maker containers should be wiped clean with a solution of two tablespoons of bleach to one gallon of water.

Jonesboro-Hodge got out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning but Union Parish erupted for 9 runs in their half of the frame on the way to a 12-4 decision in girls softball play on Friday. The loss against the Division III opponent dropped the Lady Tigers overall record to 2-7 while Union Parish improved to 3-9 on the year. The Lady Tigers got on top in the first following when Alaina Ashcraft stole home after she and K Aaron stroked two out singles and Sierra Bond walked to load the bases. JHHS added three more runs in the top of the second when S Dill, B Thompson and A Anderson all walked and Ashcraft hit a single.
Up Next: JHHS dips back into district 1-1A play on Tuesday, when they host Ringgold at 4:00 pm at the Lady Tigers field, located on Thrasher Avenue in Jonesboro.
Doubles by Hallie Kate Pullig, her third of the game, Cali Deal and Kinsley Ponder and a single by Briley Bowers helped Quitman score two runs in the top of the 7th inning but homestanding Oak Grove held on for the 7-5 victory by stranding Lady Wolverine runners on second and third base.
The loss was the 4th in the last 7 games for Quitman against a murderers row of opponents that included #1 and #3 ranked teams in Division IV and the 3rd and 4th ranked team in Division III and dropped the Lady Wolverines record to 16-6 on the year.
Four straight hits, including doubles by Pullig, Maggie Guyotte and Ponder that sandwiched a single by Deal paced Quitman to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first but Oak Grove methodically rallied by scoring two runs in the first and fourth innings and single runs in the second, third and fifth frame.
Next Up: The schedule doesn’t get any easier as Quitman will hit the road again on Monday and Tuesday to play West Ouachita and Benton, the 6th and 2nd ranked teams in Division I among “non – select” schools.
The second ranked school in Class B scored in double digits for the fifth straight game to win going away 18-2 against Beekman Charter on Friday. The victory improved the Wolves record to 15-8 according to the LHSAA which doesn’t count the three victories Weston has taken against out of state team this year and takes some of the sting out of the 14-10 loss to West Ouachita, the #4 ranked team in Division II, on Thursday.
Weston 18 Beekman Charter 2: A season best 16 run explosion in the bottom of the third ended the game in three innings as Colton Blundell smashed two home runs and both Drew Browning and Cole Tolar hit “round trippers” to help capitalize on the 15 free passes given up by Beekman Charter pitching. It was a complete team as other than the three above who combined for 10 runs and 9 RBI’s, Sawyer Watkins, Jase Borders and Bryce Zehr scored twice and both Jacob Gill and Ty Henderson scored a run each. Beaux Oliver took the win.
West Ouachita 14 Weston 10 (Thursday) – After spotting West Ouachita 6-1 and 8-4 leads in the first two innings, the Wolves closed the gap to just a one run deficit only to see the Chiefs score six in a frame for the second time in the game in the bottom of the fourth inning to put the game out of reach. The Wolves blasted West Ouachita pitching for 14 hits led by Jacob Gill’s career day of 4 RBI, paced by a home run and a double. Cole Tolar also came up big going 3/4 with a double while Bryce Zehr and Drew Browning hit “two baggers’ and scored two runs each. Ty Henderson chipped in with two hits and two runs scored and both Colton Blundell and Liam Weaver scored a run apiece.
Next Up! The Wolves will look to clinch their second straight district 1B title on Monday, when they travel to Doyline. Weston will then host Claiborne Christian on Tuesday with both games scheduled to begin at 5:00 pm.
Quitman scored two runs in the top of the fifth and added three more in the top of the sixth inning to rally from a 1-0 deficit that evens the Wolverines overall record at 12-12. Kace West got the win after limiting the Crusaders to just one earned run in five innings of work.
Quitman took a 2-1 lead when Connor Moak and Hudson Pullig scored with two outs after both reached base via a walk and getting hit by a pitch, Tucker Newton singled and CCA made errant pickoff attempt that got away. The Wolverines upped the lead to the final 5-1 margin in the top of the sixth when Kace West and Maddox Duck walked, Cail King singled, Remi Upshaw reached on CCA’s third error of the game and Zach Smudricks singled leading to Hudson Pullig hitting a sacrifice fly.
Next Up! The Wolverines will travel to Simsboro for a 5:30 pm contest on Tuesday with the winner securing second place in district 1B.
Current technical issues caused by the storms last night will prevent the Jackson Parish Journal from publishing today. These issues are expected to be resolved by Wednesday.
Watch for the Jackson Parish Journal at 6:55 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
Gov. Jeff Landry visited Northwestern State University on Feb. 25 to meet with community officials, legislators and leaders in business, industry, education and economic development to address the pending closure of the International Paper mill in Campti and its projected negative impact for Natchitoches Parish.
“There is no one who understands the economic impact of the loss of these jobs more than me,” Landry said, referencing the closure of multiple Fruit of the Loom facilities in south Louisiana in the 1990s and early 2000s. “It’s not only the jobs that are leaving the Campti facility, but the downstream effect of what it does to the small businesses that are attached. While I don’t have all the answers today, I can tell you that we will continue to work towards building economic opportunities throughout central and north Louisiana.”
“I think that the greatest opportunity that we have for economic development is actually central and northern Louisiana,” he said, referencing the selection of Richland Parish as the site of Meta’s $10 billion artificial intelligence data center.
The governor said a proposed constitutional amendment on the March 29 ballot to reform the state’s tax code could open new opportunities to bring jobs to north and central Louisiana. He has also tasked higher education administrators with shaping Louisiana’s universities and community college systems to support jobs and industry.
“I think it’s evident from the governor’s remarks that his intention is clearly to bring the full force of the government to do whatever we can do to mitigate the reality of this decision by IP,” said Susan Bourgeois, secretary of the Department of Louisiana Economic Development. “One of the things I started out talking about in my role was that we really had to take the whole of government approach to economic development. It’s not just a government solution to the challenges or the opportunities that we face. It really does have to be the private sector, the education sector, the public sector, all of us pulling on the same rope.”
Bourgeois said her office is currently working with five active wood-related projects in north Louisiana.
“We’ve announced 21 wood-related projects in the last seven years that our team is now going to focus on seeing about placement of employees, placement of product and how we can redeploy some of the Louisiana resources that were used at the Campti facility in those projects,” Bourgeois said.
Susie Schowen, secretary of the Louisiana Workforce Commission, said she has engaged a rapid response team, the team that responds to layoffs, who can offer services specifically for IP workers.
“The IP workers are getting services in career counseling, envisioning where their career could go and how to connect with training. We can help offset the cost of that training with the focus of getting people jobs right here in this area.”
“We want to do as much as we can to backfill, to give back, what the closure is going to cause,” Landry said. “We will work as hard as we can and the good news is you’ve got other areas of the state that are performing, and a high tide has a tendency to lift all boats. We are focused on this area, not only Natchitoches but the central and north Louisiana area. We are hyper focused on opportunity because I think that there are opportunities out there.”
Landry said there are companies around the country and around the world are looking for investments in the U.S., which aligns with President Donald Trump’s agenda to boost American manufacturing.
“Right now, that is being driven primarily by the president’s agenda and we want to be able to capture as much of that as we can. You see this great team and we have worked hard and I don’t know anyone who isn’t trying to soften the impact,” he said.

JHES 21 Choudrant (boys) – A balanced attach paved the way to the impressive victory as five scored. Antley Wright led the way with 8 points with Addaren Amos finishing with five. Caiden Jackson chipped in with four points and both Brady Malone and Antoine Spivey scored two.
