The next time you visit a Raising Cane’s restaurant the person taking your order or the fry cook prepping your plate might also work in the corporate office. Cane’s Regional Vice President Matt Massey says it’s an initiative to help with the ongoing labor shortage.
Cut 4 (12) “…in 2022.”
Massey says the labor shortage isn’t unique to Cane’s and like other fast-food restaurants they aren’t sure what the silver bullet is to help turn it around but they are trying a method that they’ve used in the past to help with employee shortages after hurricanes impacted their eateries.
The chain is hoping to hire 10-thousand new workers in the next 50 days as corporate employees are working side by side with existing employees at their restaurants. Massey says it also shows workers the potential to be promoted to the corporate office one day.
The first Raising Cane’s opened in Baton Rouge in 1996 and has grown to more than 550 locations across the U-S.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this year women might notice when they have their annual screening they are asked when and which arm they received their COVID vaccine. Ochsner Health Radiologist Dr. Maverick LeBlanc says the reason being your lymph nodes could swell under your arm and impact your mammogram results.
LeBlanc says swelling is a normal reaction after a vaccine and if you can it’s best to wait at least four to six weeks after your last vaccine dose to have your annual screening mammogram.
LeBlanc says the Society of Breast Imaging recommends women start getting annual mammograms at age 40. He says it’s important even if women are not experiencing any problems to still be screened annually so radiologists can compare previous mammograms.
Cut 8 (10) “…as possible (x2).”
The swelling of the lymph nodes under the arm not caused by a vaccine can be a symptom of a breast issue, therefore LeBlanc says that’s why women will be asked if they recently had a vaccine injection to rule out a possible problem.

Changes are planned and underway to keep Louisiana State Police more aware of any trouble a trooper may be in, as was the case for Master Trooper Adam Gaubert who was killed during a multi-parish shooting spree over the weekend. Colonel Lamar Davis says the agency is working to implement a computer-aided dispatch system.
Cut 10 (09) “…our communications staff.”
Davis says with the technology upgrades, tragic situations like Trooper Gaubert’s body not being located for nearly 15 hours during the deadly chaos blamed on Matthew Mire might be avoided.
Davis says State Police hope to see improved technology not be the only means to an end to curbing the targeting of officers and any other members of the public by people like suspect Matthew Mire In Gaubert’s killing.
Cut 12 (12) “…of the community.”

The state’s Commissioner of Administration says a deal is in the works that could keep the Saints in New Orleans and the Superdome for a good long time. Speaking at the Press Club of Baton Rouge, Jay Dardenne says the deal would not only keep the Saints in the Dome, but also help to bring many more Super Bowls to the Crescent City…:
Cut 13 (10) “…here ’til 2055.”

Cut 14 (09) “…to move forward.”
Dardenne says Saints & Pelicans owner Gayle Benson has made a long-term commitment to having the Saints in the Superdome; and has set up a trust to assure that even after she has passed on…:
