Seven citizens and members of the town council came together last week at a special meeting for the Town of Jonesville. The purpose of the meeting was to have commu-nity involvement to apply for the Love Louisiana Outdoors Low/Mod Communities/Parishes CDBG-CV Funds. Due to the COVID pandemic local government entities are tak-ing action to help prevent it from spreading. The state has appropri-ated $44,336,196.00 and the Office

of Community Development-Local Government Assistance (OCD-LGA) has allocated $16,750,000.00 of the amount to develop or rehabilitated outdoor fitness and recreational parks.

The new parks program will use money available through the CARES act. Jonesville qualifies for $225,000. One of the stipulations to receive funding is citizen participa-tion in the planning and implemen-tation of the Louisiana Community

Development Block Grant Program (LCDBG) program. A signup sheet for volunteers to help plan and de-velop an outdoor park was available and everyone at the meeting was happy to add their name to the list.

Mayor Hiram Evans asked for rec-ommendations as to where Jones-ville could spend the money. Three areas were mentioned as to where the grant money can be used. Air-port Road walking trail, an area behind the old hospital and Stew-

art-Clark Park. After different views and proposals by citizens and the council a majority agreed that Stew-art Clark Park would be the best place to use the grant money. A splash pad, walking trail, playground equipment and fitness equipment were some of the top ideals.

The Town has until September 10, 2021, to submit an eligibility form of intent unless an extinction has been made due to the state of

On the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on America, we pause to remember the tragic events

of that day, honor the memories of those who perished and recognize the fi rst responders who risked their own lives to

save others.

9/11 Day was created in 2002 as a nonprofi t organization with the support of the 9/11 community and a mission to “rekindle the extraordinary spirit of togetherness and compassion that arose in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy, and to inspire Americans and others to do good deeds that help to create a better and more peaceful world.”

On the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the organization hopes to inspire people in the U.S. and around the world to perform 100 million good deeds “in remembrance and tribute.” To learn more or join the eff ort, visit 911day.org.

Timeline of TragedySeptember 11, 2001

8:46 a.m.Five highjackers crash American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center North Tower, killing all 76 passengers and 11 crew members, and killing and trapping hundreds more inside the building.

9:03 a.m.Five highjackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into the World Trade Center South Tower, killing all 51 passengers and nine crew members, and killing and trapping hundreds more inside the building.

9:37 a.m.Five highjackers crash American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, killing all 53 passengers and six crew

members, and killing 125 more people on the ground

9:59 a.m.The World Trade Center South Tower collapses, killing more than 800 people in the building and surrounding area.

10:03 a.m.Four highjackers crash United Airlines Flight 93 in a fi eld in Pennsylvania aft er crew and passengers storm the cockpit, killing all 33 passengers and seven crew members.

10:28 a.m.The World Trade Center North Tower collapses, killing more than 1600 people in the building and surrounding area.

Though both the North and South Towers fell on that day, today the site where each tower once stood is a serene retreat in the bustling lower Manhattan neighborhood that was shaken to its core on the day of the attacks. The 9/11 Memo-rial was designed by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. The 9/11 Me-morial and Museum notes that Arad and Walker's proposal was chosen in a design competition that featured 5,201 submissions from 63 countries.

The 9/11 Memorial is located on the western side of the formal World Trade Center where the Twin Towers once stood. Two enormous reflect-ing pools are part of the Memorial Plaza, which is where the North and South Towers once stood. The pools feature the two largest man-made wa-terfalls in North America. Around the edges of the pools, the names of people who were killed

in the 9/11 attacks in New York, the Pentagon, on Flight 93, and in the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center are etched in bronze.

In recognition of the crash sites, 400 swamp white oak trees were selected from nurseries lo-cated in New York, Pennsylvania and near Wash-ington, D.C. These trees are located throughout the Memorial Plaza, providing a peaceful respite separate from the surrounding city. The Memori-al Plaza also includes one Callery pear tree. That tree was discovered at Ground Zero weeks after the attacks and it was severely damaged. The tree, now known as the Survivor Tree, was nursed back to health by members of the New York City Parks and Recreation Department and returned to the World Trade Center site in 2010, where it still stands as an enduring symbol of resilience and perseverance.

On Friday, September 3, 2021, Sheriff Toney Edwards and members of his department headed to Terrebonne Parish with supplies that were donated from citizens of Catahou-la Parish to assist in Hurricane Ida Recovery. “We are blessed to live in a parish with people who are willing to help others in their time of need, stated Sheriff Edwards. The devastation is unbelievable.”

The Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Office has also sent deputies to locations needing extra patrol in the hurricane hit areas. “We are do-ing any and everything we can to help these hard hit parishes such as Terrebonne Parish,” said Sheriff Edwards.

The Catahoula Parish Sheriff’s Department will continue to take up supplies for Hurricane Relief. You can drop off these donations at the Cathahoula Parish Sheriff’s office, inside the Harrisonburg Courthouse in Harrisonburg, Monday – Friday.
