Play ball to battle cancer

Employees of the Livingston Parish Communications District, which runs the parish’s 911 emergency center, have organized a softball tournament fundraiser Saturday for district employee Arthur Cioni and his family.

Ciono’s wife, Carletta, died of cancer May 30, and the fundraiser is to help with the medical and recovery expenses. The softball tournament costs $100 per team to enter, and the deadline for entries is Wednesday.
