"The newspaper had printed it’s biggest edition of the year focusing on high school football when the hurricane struck and the post office closed preventing delivery," according to the Louisianna Press Association's Adopt A Newspaper website. "One staffer lost her home and others experienced significant damage including losing their cars. The newspaper is regrouping and ready to publish as soon as the post office opens." LSU's Special Collections website offers a genealogical chart of the fascinating history of the newspaper.
