All retail Cleco customers will see lower energy bills beginning Friday due to a one-time credit of about $475 per customer account.
The Louisiana Public Service Commission ordered the credit as part of a set of commitments the new owners agreed upon to acquire the company.
Getting ready for the Fourth of July
Kenneth Peart, a former Eunice mayor, has kept the July 4th fireworks display tradition alive for more than 20 years. Peart shows off a five-mortar assembly that will be used at the display, which begins at 9 p.m. Monday at the Eunice Recreational Complex on Sittig Road. Peart said about 3,000 rockets will be fired in a show that will last 20 to 30 minutes. (Photo by Harlan Kirgan)

Fireworks can be used in the city from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
The Eunice city budget for the fiscal year beginning Friday is little changed from this year.
