On Friday night, October 30, the Mansfield Wolverines fell to the Green Oaks Giants 34-28 in their first game in the newly renovated Washington-Taylor-Rogers Football Stadium. Although the stadium still has a few final touches that will be completed in the near future, the excitement in the air was undeniable as fans and students entered the stadium.

“We are very proud of the way the stadium turned out and can’t wait for all the finishing touches to be complete. The culmination of this project brings this facility up to par with any 3A stadium in the state,” said Superintendent Clay Corley. “We pride ourselves on offering the best for our students and community.

With the State of Louisiana and funds from DeSoto Parish totaling almost three million dollars, the DeSoto Industrial Park will be realigned and improved to service multiple businesses at a park near Frierson. A portion of the funds will also be used to build new entrance roads into two other industrial parks on U. S. 84 West just outside of Mansfield and U. S. Highway 171 south.

The road to the Industrial Park is currently in such terrible shape it is prone to flooding, which leaves workers stranded. Hopefully, the new plans will alleviate these problems and encourage tenants to stay put.

The November 3rd election’s fmal unofficial tally has named Charles Adams as the victor over incumbent District Attorney for the 42nd Judicial System Gary V Evans with Adam’s garnering 8,893 votes, or 62.00%, of the vote to Evans 5,433 votes, or 38.00%. Voters seemed to prefer the positive ad campaigns run by Adams, Amy Burford McCartney and Nicholas Gasper telling of their attributes and how their offices would be run instead of using negative and questionable tactics by slinging mud.

The bald eagle’s role as a national symbol is linked to its 1782 landing on the Great Seal of the United States. Shortly after the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress gave Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams the job of designing an official seal for the new nation. However, the three Founding Fathers failed to come up with a design that won Congress’ approval, as did two later committees that were given the task. In mid-June 1782, the work of all three committees was handed over to Charles Thomson, the secretary of Congress. Thomson chose what he thought were the best elements of the various designs and made the eagle, which had been introduced by artistically inclined Pennsylvania lawyer William Barton in a design submitted by the third committee, more prominent. (Since ancient times, the eagle has been considered a sign of strength; Roman legions used the animal as their standard, or symbol.)

On September 3, 2020, at approximately 5:43 a.m., DeSoto Parish 911 received a call from a citizen who had located a deceased individual in the area of Marshall Road, north of Highway 3015 in Keachi. Upon arrival, deputies were able to determine that the male victim, 64-yearold Roy Long, had died of an apparent gunshot wound. The investigation was treated as a homicide and deputies began looking for suspect Valeria Nichelle Robinson.

Calhoun Center and to appoint two members from the Friends of the Female College as an advisory role until the transfer was complete.
