Greenacres Boulevard repairs will shift traffic in Bossier City

Drivers on Greenacres Boulevard in Bossier City will face intersection closures and a temporary traffic shift beginning Nov. 17 as crews replace a deteriorated section of roadway. The repairs are part of the City of Bossier City's 2025 Streets and Drainage Improvements Program, according to a community announcement. Work will begin in the eastbound lanes of Greenacres Boulevard at South Hardwick Drive. The intersections of South Hardwick Drive and Fairmont Drive with Greenacres Boulevard will temporarily close so crews can complete the work safely. Residents traveling on Fairmont Drive north of Greenacres Boulevard will be directed to Maple Ridge. Those traveling on Fairmont Drive south of Greenacres Boulevard will be directed to Southwood Drive. Eastbound Greenacres Boulevard traffic also will shift onto the westbound side of the road between Fairmont Drive and Airline Road. That stretch of Greenacres Boulevard will carry two-way traffic during this phase of construction. The project is expected to take about one week, weather permitting. Motorists traveling through the construction area are advised to allow additional travel time, use caution and follow posted signs and traffic-control devices.

Caddo Parish coroner set to retire at end of 2026 after 19 years

(The Center Square) - Caddo Parish's coroner is retiring at the end of 2026 after serving the parish for 19 years. Dr. Todd Thoma, who has served as Caddo Parish coroner since 2008, announced Thursday his plans to step down in December. Because Thoma's current term does not end until 2028, his retirement would leave more than a year remaining in office, causing a special election under Louisiana law. Chief Deputy Dr. Thomas Arnold will assume the duties of coroner until a successor is elected and takes office. The Caddo Parish Coroner's Office investigates sudden, unexpected and suspicious deaths, determines causes and manners of deaths, and performs other duties required under Louisiana law.

Byrd parts ways with football coach Stacy Ballew after 6 seasons

Following one of the most disappointing seasons in school history, Byrd High principal Jana Panos announced the removal of football coach Stacy Ballew on Thursday afternoon. The Jackets recently concluded a 1-9 season that included a 48-21 loss to archrival Captain Shreve in the 2026 season finale. Ballew was 33-34 (.492) in six seasons after taking over for longtime coach Mike Suggs, whom he had served as an assistant coach. He spent more than two decades at Byrd. “Coach Stacy Ballew, a Byrd graduate who has served this school for 20-plus years as a player, assistant coach and head coach,” said Panos, who took over as school principal this fall, in a release. “This decision is not a reflection of his character or effort. It is about the direction of the program. We will move quickly to post the position, and I am committed to conducting a comprehensive search for Byrd’s next head football coach.” GATOR POWER: Captain Shreve’s Gabe Lockett dials in dominating runs against Byrd The release from the school said the school "will begin the process of identifying candidates to lead the program with a focus on building on Byrd’s longstanding football tradition while establishing a vision
