Charles J. Ballay, District Attorney for the Parish of Plaquemines, announced the opening of a new location on July 10. The new location in the Plaquemines Parish Government Complex at 333 F. Edward Hebert Boulevard, #201, in Belle Chasse, is the first standalone state-of the-art office of the District Attorney since a fire destroyed the original office.

When Jenney Fazande graduated from Belle Chasse High School in 2002 she had no idea her career would be spent sending history out on the road.

The Plaquemines Parish Council threw its support behind the Pointe a la Hache Ferry and officially withdrew its support from the Port Eads Fishing Refuge at its July 9 meeting in Belle Chasse.

Last week the Plaquemines Parish School Board unanimously approved Superintendent Denis Rousselle’s plan for reopening parish schools come Aug. 6.

Plaquemines Sheriff Jerry Turlich and Clerk of Court Kim Turlich-Vaughan were both sworn in to begin their second terms at separate ceremonies late last month.

Clerk of Court Turlich-Vaughan was sworn in by 25 Judicial District Court Judge Michael Clement at the Pointe a la Hache Courthouse June 30. Both officials’ new terms began July 1.
