Rayville Police Chief Willie L. Robinson Sr. would like to remind people to take care of themselves and their animals during the current heat wave.
“Remember, that when the heat index is above 105 degrees, we are in a heat advisory,” he said. “This means that the high temperatures along with the high humidity can pose a threat to human life through conditions such as heat stroke. Be mindful of this when you and others are out in this heat.”
Richland Parish Superintendent of Schools Sheldon Jones said Richland Parish Schools are preparing to reopen in August.

The tax renewal for the Hospital Service District #1-A was defeated by 57 percent with 667 people voting against the renewal and 501 voting for it.
The presidential preference primary will be held July 11 and polls will open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As a reminder, Louisiana law requires a picture identification card to vote at the polling place.

If you do not have a picture ID card, you may be asked to sign a voter identification affidavit.
