A U.S. fruit distributor has announced a recall of as many as 1 million mangoes that may carry salmonella bacteria. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says researchers found indications the mangoes are to blame for a “multistate cluster” of salmonella. I do love mangoes! Granted, they peel and that giant seed can be a chore, but they're worth the work.  We got the news this morning that mor

Lake Charles Police are searching for the man who robbed the Circle K on Jefferson Drive this past weekend.  Can you help identify this man?

You never know who you're going to see when you're driving to work.  Lots of commuters saw Taylor Swift on their drive in this morning!

We also lose 25 to 35 square miles of those wetlands every year. At current land loss rates, nearly 640,000 more acres, an area nearly the size of Rhode Island, will be under water by 2050. Sobering news to say the least. But there is a project under way to he

What might be the most important game of the year for the Louisiana Swashbucklers, the Columbus Lions will be taking on the Bucs in the Smuggler’s Den on Saturday, June 2nd, at 7 p.m. in the Lake Charles Civic Center.  As an added bonus, Tommy and Joe of the "Swamp People" will be on hand as well.

On any given weekend, the beach is crowded with sun worshipers and of course, many more people are out in boats soaking up the rays. While a tan may look healthy, almost all studies indicate that there is nothing healthy about a tan and the risk of skin cancer is very real. Now, a n
