| Local elections to be decided Saturday
For many Louisiana voters taking part in today's presidential primary, this might be Sublime Saturday compared to the hoopla of Super Tuesday in other states just four days ago. In some parts of St. Tammany Parish, though, there is more at stake. All five seats on the Mandeville City Council are up for grabs, with two incumbents seeking re-election and two others hoping to remain on the job with new assignments. Voters in Madisonville will consider 10 candidates for the five seats on the Town Council. And in the 6th Ward north of Pearl River, the ballot includes a special election to fill a vacancy for justice of the peace. There are 64,713 registered Republicans and 46,406 registered Democrats in St. Tammany Parish, according to Registrar of Voters M.

Not only does he write and sing like Gram Parsons, Larsen also shares Parsons' affinity for the bizarre, creating decidedly unfashionable gems such as "Atomic Bombs and Wine" and "Sweet Savior's Arms."

The Mt. Hope Miners Church is only a few miles from the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, yet few people are aware of the church or the mining industry that was once the center of community life in the Rockaway area.

HUGHES: IT`S CRUNCH TIME
They will obviously, as always, look at a game against Blackburn as a winnable game but we will make sure it will be a difficult day for them I am sure." Despite their consistent qualification for Europe Blackburn are still viewed in some quarters as a 'small' club and their talents are often under-estimated. But the perception of his side is not something that concerns Hughes, especially as he feels it may actually benefit Rovers. "We just get quietly on with the work we do and don't create a great deal of attention," added the former Wales boss. "There are advantages of just getting on with your work and being slightly under the radar - you can surprise people." Winger Morten Gamst Pedersen believes Blackburn are more than a match for Keegan's side, despite Newcastle being perceived as more significant than their Ewood Park rivals.
