MAURICE — The Village of Maurice is under a boil water advisory
Maurice Mayor Wayne Theriot issued the advisory due to an electrical issue at the water plant which caused loss of pressure early this morning.
“Health samples were pulled and we are awaiting results tomorrow morning,” Theriot said Tuesday morning. “The Village of Maurice Maintenance Supervisor, working with our contractor, have resolved the issue and the plant is operational. Health samples were pulled and we are awaiting results tomorrow morning.
“We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.”

This year has been full of challenges for everyone.
That is certainly true for teachers, who are working to do things that have never been done.
Something that is done every year by the Vermilion Parish School System naming Teachers of the Year. Seventh Ward’s Angie Detraz has been named the Vermilion Parish Elementary School Teacher of the Year. Erath Middle’s Nicole Toups has been honored as the Vermilion Parish Middle School Teacher of the Year and Gueydan High’s Sheri Istre has earned Vermilion Parish High School Teacher of the Year.

Not long after the start of the new year, a new judge will be seated in Vermilion Parish.
