Recreational fish ponds or farm ponds can serve many purposes. They offer a great sport fishing opportunity, a good swimming area, provide valuable soil to elevate other portions of your property, aesthetically enhance your landscape, provide valuable habitat for wildlife and can serve as a reservoir for livestock, irrigation or firefighting needs. Properly managed, ponds can be a beautiful addition to your lifestyle, but when they are neglected, they can become a weed-infested eyesore. Springtime in South Louisiana is a time for growth, especially for the aquatic weeds in a fish pond. Controlling these weeds is essential to maintaining the health of your pond.

Thibodaux - Student athletes at Nicholls State University are distinguishing themselves in the classroom, according to information released today by the National Collegiate Athletic Association on the academic progress rates of nearly 6,272 Division I teams. 

Not only were Nicholls’ athletics teams among the majority of Division I organizations that received no sanctions associated with progress rates – Nicholls was the only Southland Conference institution to receive no penalties.

“We are delighted that our teams continue to improve academically,” said Rob Bernardi, athletics director. “Our escalating APR scores are a clear indication of our progress.”
