MORGAN CITY, La. — The ongoing discussion surrounding the Avoca property on Avoca Island has intensified as the Singleton family continues to raise concerns about historical land ownership, inheritance rights, and mineral interests tied to long-standing family property in St. Mary Parish.
Family representatives maintain that portions of their ancestral land were once held within the family and later became part of a series of complex transactions involving outside entities over multiple decades. They argue that questions remain about documentation, communication with heirs, and whether all legal processes were fully transparent.
“We are seeking clarity, truth, and accountability regarding what happened to our family land,” a family spokesperson said. “This is about legacy and ensuring future generations understand their rightful history.”
Avoca Island, located near Morgan City, has long reflected broader patterns seen across coastal Louisiana, where family-owned land, agricultural use, and oil and mineral development often overlap within complex legal and environmental histories.

  • “A Day Etched in Our Hearts: Honoring 9/11, 24 Years Later”

    “Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost — a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.”
    — President Barack Obama

    So many people came out to the 9/11 memorial on the 24th anniversary to pay their respects — some were family, some were strangers, and some weren’t even born when it happened. But one thing is certain: in the history of America, we will never forget this day.

    Twenty-four years ago, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the heart of America was shaken. An act of hate, rage, and bitterness struck the nation at four critical locations — each one marked by tragedy and heroism.

    • 8:46 a.m. – American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, New York City.
    • 9:03 a.m. – United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
    • 9:37 a.m. – American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
    • 10:03 a.m. – United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers heroically attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers.

    These coordinated terrorist attacks resulted in the loss of nearly 3,000 innocent lives and left an unerasable scar on the soul of the nation.

    On September 11, 2025, people once again gathered at the memorials — family members, survivors, first responders, and citizens from across the country. Among them were employees and relatives of Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial firm that lost 658 employees in the North Tower — one of the most devastating corporate losses in history.

    The Oculus, standing near Ground Zero, serves as both a transportation hub and a living symbol of resilience. It reminds us of the bravery, unity, and sacrifice shown by so many on that tragic day and in the weeks and years that followed.

    “9/11: A Day of Remembrance, A Promise Never to Forget”

    “Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September 11th.”
    — President George W. Bush

    “From Bleachers to End Zones: The Most Honest Recap of A&T vs. UCF”

    On September 6, 2025, the North Carolina A&T Aggies took the field against the UCF Knights in a tough road matchup that ended in a decisive 68–6 loss. While the scoreboard didn’t favor A&T, there was still a story worth telling—and moments worth remembering.
    Fans who made the long trip from North Carolina to Orlando tried to stay locked into the game, but with such a lopsided score, many turned their attention to their phones. Some fans were even spotted catching a nap in the bleachers, missing what few highlights A&T managed to scrape together. Still, the Aggies didn’t quit.
    Running back Shimique Blizzard (#9) brought some energy and pride back to the team with a hard-earned touchdown that got the A&T crowd on their feet. That momentum was followed by a perfect extra-point kick from Andrew Brown(#39), who showed poise and precision when the team needed it most. These two plays became the standout moments in an otherwise challenging night.
    The Aggie cheerleaders worked hard to rally the crowd and keep spirits high, even when the action on the field gave them little to celebrate. One photo even captured a cheerleader’s expression of pure frustration—proof that sometimes, the camera tells the truth fans try to hide. Still, their dedication on the sidelines deserves recognition.
    Meanwhile, UCF came out strong and never let up. Their offense was nearly unstoppable, and their defense kept pressure on the Aggies from the first quarter to the last. Off the field, UCF’s cheer squad was a highlight in itself—perfectly choreographed, full of energy, and celebrating each score with impressive stunts and synchronized lifts. One of the most memorable moments came at the end of the game when UCF players physically lifted each other off the ground in celebration, showing the kind of unity that defined their dominant performance.
    Even though it wasn’t A&T’s night, the Aggies showed grit, heart, and flashes of brilliance—and they’ll return stronger. Whether it was the touchdown run, the cheerleaders’ relentless spirit, or the candid moments in the stands, this game had more to it than just the final score.

  • “Snapshots of Honor: Sergeant Jarrell and the Lives He Touched”

    One of this week’s most meaningful moments was my interview with Sergeant James Jarrell, the veteran I chose for my assignment. Sergeant Jarrell served more than 10 years in the 312th Evacuation Hospital with the United States Army Reserves. He is a proud Desert Storm and Vietnam veteran. His military career is uniquely diverse, having also served in the Air Force National Guard and United States Army Reserves.
    Sergeant Jarrell today at 79 years old. He now uses an assistive device to walk, but his spirit remains strong. During our conversation, he shared with a laugh that he once could run three miles in under 13 minutes—but now jokes it takes him 13 minutes to walk just 13 steps. Despite the changes that come with age, he remains a true trooper and embraces his journey with good humor and grace.
    A touching moment during our interview at Green Valley Grill in Greensboro, NC. A fellow patron recognized Sergeant Jarrell from his Army photo and stopped by to speak with him. She shared that her brother had served in Delta Force and, like Sergeant Jarrell, is also 79 years old. She proudly showed him her Delta Force ring, one of the few pieces of insignia that family members are permitted to wear to honor a loved one who served in the unit. Sergeant Jarrell, while never having served in Delta Force himself, was familiar with their legacy. The two exchanged stories shared a smile, and created a memorable moment of mutual respect before parting ways.

  • “Where Am I? Telling Stories Without Words “This is called a Video String

    The second week is fast approaching, but a break is just around the corner. Reflecting on the first week’s assignment, we explored the creative challenge of building a “Video String.” Video String—a visual story told entirely through photos, with no text, narration, or music.  The task? Describe an event or place using only visuals—no words, no background music. It was a fun way to think outside the box and communicate through images alone. Can you guess where I am in my videos? I enjoyed the assignment so much that I created two different Video Strings! This was an amazing project that really pushed my creativity. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

    Guess what Event I attended this weekend?
