President Trump announced Tuesday morning of last week he would posthumously pardon women’s suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony. Anthony was arrested and charged for voting in the 1872 presidential election. She was found guilty by an all-male jury. The pardon came as the United States marks the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote and the ratification of the 19th Amendment, on August 18th.

“This was brought up a week ago, and I was so surprised that it was never done before. Later today, I will be signing a full and complete pardon for Susan B. Anthony. She was never pardoned,” President Trump said from the White House last Tuesday. “She got a pardon for a lot of other women and didn’t put her name on the list. She was never pardoned for voting. That’s right; she was guilty for voting. We’re going to be signing a full and complete pardon, and I think that’s really fantastic.”

The LSU AgCenter is using technology to transform the way they offer nutrition classes in the wake of the pandemic.

In the past, nutrition agents and educators offered lessons in a face-to-face setting. With the virus still persisting, the LSU AgCenter adapted nutrition lessons to virtual format.

“The benefit of offering online nutrition education classes is that we can still connect with our audiences and provide them with research-based nutrition information while remaining safe during the pandemic,” said Sandra May, LSU AgCenter School of Nutrition and Food Sciences instructor and registered dietitian. “It also allows us the opportunity to explore alternative ways to reach our audiences who may not be able to attend face-to-face classes in the future.”

For the first time in several years, The Jena Times has launched a subscription campaign offering citizens of the parish a great deal on receiving a copy of the newspaper in their mailboxes every Wednesday morning, Editor-Publisher Sammy J. Franklin announced.

If a reader purchased The Jena Times on the newsstand each week for $1 each, that amounts to $52 for the year. For a limited time, the Times is offering the paper by mail for half that price - $26 per year. (See full page advertisement in this issue for more details.)

For centuries, local newspapers have served as the voice for the public good and as a powerful connection between citizens and the communities around them.

In this digital age, the newspaper audience has never been greater, with many reading in print, online or via mobile. No matter the medium, readers rely on their local newspaper to keep them informed of local events.

Every month the LaSalle ICE Processing Center in Jena honors employees by selecting outstanding employee, correctional officer and GTI employee of the month. Every quarter, LIPC recognizes a supervisor that has been voted as being the most popular supervisor for that quarter.

The selection is made by supervisors or department submitting a nomination, based on attendance, attitude, job performance, knowledge of job duties, willingness to accept or seek additional duties, and professionalism.
