On June 2, the
Today show released a six-minute video news report titled, “40 years since first AIDS cases, men living with HIV share their perspectives.” In it were old news clips from the early years of the epidemic showing imagery of hospitals, clinics, and ill-appearing men in beds. Well-known men with HIV were mentioned, including Rock Hudson, Magic Johnson, and Pedro Zamora. Later in the segment, four men from different generations were interviewed about their lived experience with HIV, the anguish of the early years of the epidemic, scientific advances including undetectable equals untransmittable (U=U) and HIV-related stigma.

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama The Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce hosted its eighth luncheon on Thursday, May 13 for first responders titled Honoring Our Heroes at the Robertsdale Church of Christ.
First responders, including Sheriff Hoss Mack and deputies from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Department, fire officials, EMA, EMT and police department officials, including police chiefs from throughout Baldwin County, attended the event, said Chamber President/CEO Gail Quezada.
“This is a way for us to honor those who serve, not just in Central Baldwin, but for the entire area,” she said.
After hosting the first event during the week of 9/11 in 2014, it was decided to move the event to coincide with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Department’s Officers Memorial, which is held in May to honor officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Displaced residents are seeking answers and support after a devastating fire in South Highlands.
On Wednesday, April 21, a two-alarm fire ripped through a residential building of the Fairfield Oaks A Condominiums, located on the 3800 block of Fairfield Avenue in Shreveport.
“We were all shocked and reeling from what happened,” said Lynne Most, a Fairfield Oaks HOA board member. Our gut response was compassion for these people who have lost their homes.
On Sunday, April 25, HOA board members hosted a special meeting in the Fairfield Oaks courtyard to provide the latest updates and give residents an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns. The meeting was full of mixed emotions as the community is grateful that no injuries or death occurred due to the blaze but frustrated as they don t know when they can return to their units if able to at all.
