Louisiana Survivors wins the SWFA Championship 13-7
In just their second year in existence, the Louisiana Survivors have won their first League Championship. The Survivors defeated the Lafayette Hurricanes 13-7 in a hard fought game Saturday night in Houston. The Survivors jumped on the board first in a manner that's very familiar to them, defensively. Cornerback Craig Ingram returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown. It would be the first of a big night for the young defensive back. The Survivors then hit their big target tight end on a drag route across the middle for their second score. The score was 13-0 at the half. After a scoreless 3rd quarter that went back and forth, the Hurricanes scored a touchdown to make the score 13-7 in the fourth quarter. The Hurricanes had several opportunities in the 4th quarter to get even, but the difference maker would be Craig Ingram. Ingram spent much of the game covering SWFA League MVP and MLFN All-American, Courtney Allen. Ingram would finish with 3 interceptions and one touchdown. His third pick came as the Hurricanes took a shot at the end zone on 4th down with one minute remaining. What looked to be the game tying touchdown, was ripped out of the air by Ingram at the last second in the end zone. Ingram would finish as the Championship Game MVP. The Survivors now qualify for a seat in the Far West Football Association tournament versus the SWFC Champion. The Survivors are also seeking to play the TUFL and GCFA Champions. The Port City Jaguars and Houston Wolverines respectively. Congratulations to the SWFA CHAMPION LOUISIANA SURVIVORS!

GAME OF THE WEEK, APRIL 14TH: LOUISIANA SURVIVORS (5-0) vs. SAN ANTONIO RAVENS (3-2)
This game will feature two of the league's top teams as they prepare to square off in New Orleans. The Survivors come in with an unblemished record and look to remain that way as they face a San Antonio team that has shown flashes of greatness. These two teams have attempted to schedule games against one another since last season; a season in which the two finished as the top 2 defenses. Expect this to be a hard-hitting and possibly low-scoring game as two of the most aggressive defenses finally face head-to-head on the field! Everyone in the City of New Orleans will want to see this game!!

Rebuilding New Orleans Bigger and Better :
New testing shows that residents are returning to neighborhoods and schools contaminated with arsenic. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the floodwaters that swamped New Orleans swept oil, diesel and toxic chemicals from gas stations, industrial sites and toxic waste dumps into residential neighborhoods. Today, residents are still returning to communities laced with hazardous pollution. The latest round of NRDC environmental testing in New Orleans shows that several areas of the city -- including schools and playgrounds -- contain high levels of arsenic in the soil. The flooding appears to have spread long-buried arsenic from pesticides or industrial processes, or from the muck at the bottom of the canals and Lake Pontchartrain, throughout the city and onto the surface of the soil, where people -- especially young children -- can easily touch it, breathe it, or get in their mouths. NRDC found six schools and two playgrounds sitting on arsenic hotspots -- areas where the level of arsenic exceeds environmental cleanup guidelines. Arsenic can cause cancer, birth defects, neurological disorders and other serious health problems. More sampling is needed to determine the full scope of the contamination and the extent of the health risk. The EPA and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) have not taken responsibility for cleaning up the soil in contaminated neighborhoods. Until cleanup occurs, NRDC suggests that concerned residents take precautions to protect themselves and their families. (See the full health advisory.) The latest tests are part of NRDC's ongoing partnership with communities in New Orleans to ensure that the Katrina recovery process is safe, fair and transparent. Weeks after Katrina hit, an NRDC scientific team was on the ground in New Orleans, assessing the environmental impacts of the hurricane in the absence of information from the EPA. NRDC, in collaboration with our local partners, continues to conduct environmental testing in the area and keep residents apprised of potential health threats. At the same time, we are pushing state and federal environmental authorities to do their job: to remove toxic sediment and contaminated soil from the streets and yards of affected Gulf Coast communities; to test water quality and ensure a clean water supply; and to monitor air quality and keep citizens informed of any concerns. In addition to addressing immediate threats, NRDC is working with federal, state and local agencies to ensure that the rebuilding process embraces public involvement, is environmentally safe, equitable, and will create a secure future for the Gulf Coast.
