🚜🌱Did you know Pointe Coupee Parish is home to Oxbow Rum Distillery’s roots?! Literally!🌱🚜

We are proud of how far they have come! We are pretty proud of that oxbow lake too💁🏻‍♀️

If you haven’t been to the Distillery yet, it is in Downtown Baton Rouge and is a super awesome place! A must tour, see and visit!

BUT, if you’re in Pointe Coupee, You can find Oxbow Rum at all the local grocery stores, but our favorite place to grab some is at the ORIGINAL Alma General Store!

Since 1859, our family estate has raised sugarcane on the banks of an ancient Mississippi River oxbow in Pointe Coupée, Louisiana. This sharp bend in the river has made for fertile land, sweet sugarcane and enchanting rum. Generations have farmed this land. This estate rum is a tribute to them.

Catholic of Pointe Coupee hosts several blood drives throughout the year. In conjunction with The Blood Center, there will be a drive at the school gym on Thursday, August 29th. Please see the flyer for details and to schedule ahead of time.

Did you know that when someone goes through surgery or has traumatic injuries, such as from a car accident, blood transfusions help replace any blood they have lost. Similarly, individuals undergoing cancer treatment may not be able to produce enough platelets to form clots and stop bleeding, and transfusions help reverse that loss. Some people donate blood because they know their one contribution can save up to three lives. Everyone has their own reasons on why the donate.

As many of you may already know, one of our fellow Hornets, Beau Soulier, is fighting cancer at this time. This specific blood drive will be hosted in honor of Beau. The Blood Center will give a monetary donation to the family of Beau Soulier for every donor that gives on Beau’s behalf on Aug. 29th.

Additionally, the students who can donate and participate work towards their red graduation cord and possible scholarship eligibility through The Blood Center. Community members and staff are encouraged to donate as well

It is highly recommended to schedule your appointment to donate in advance by scanning the QR code on the flyer.

🌊 Drawdown Alert for False River 🌊

LDWF, in conjunction with the False River Watershed Council and Pointe Coupee Parish Government, has scheduled a drawdown for False River to begin on September 3.

🏡 Property Owners: Secure or remove vessels, floating docks, and other items before the drawdown starts.

⚠️ The lake will remain open for fishing and recreation, but boaters, please use caution as boat lanes won't have normal clearance of underwater structures.

🛑 The drawdown structure will close on January 15, 2025, and the lake will be allowed to refill.

Water level reductions are utilized as a management tool to improve water quality, reduce the impacts of sedimentation, and improve sportfish habitat. Since 2014, these efforts have positively impacted the Largemouth Bass population. For more information about drawdowns, go to: https://buff.ly/3zopW2J

📞 Questions? Contact Brian Heimann, LDWF Biologist Manager, at [email protected] or (225) 765-2337.
