The Cameron Parish Librarywill continue to collect for anoth-er year the full 6-mill mainte-nance tax which was voted abouta year ago as the result of a tievote at the Cameron ParishPolice Jury meeting Monday.

The jury last year agreed toallow the Library Board to col-lect the full 6 mills for the pastyear with the understandingthat it might be rolled back to alower millage if it was seen thefull tax was not needed.

At Monday’s meeting, JurorCharles Precht suggested thatthe tax be rolled back to 5 millsfor the coming year if the librarycannot justify the spending.

John Calzada, library boardmember from the Grand Lake -Sweet Lake area, spoke againstrollback saying the library boardis ordering a new bookmobilewhich is vital to the operation ofthe library to the outlying areas,and plans to set up satellitelibraries in some of the othercommunities.

Jurors Scott Trahan andSteve Trahan sided with Precht,however Norma Jo Pinch andJames Doxey were joined byPolice Jury President DustySandifer in opposing the rollbackand the matter died due to thetie vote. The library will be given

Dr. Sam Monroe, president ofthe Port Arthur HistoricalSociety, gave the welcome.Lighthouse memories wereshared by Howard Romero andRobin Anderson.

Romero, who has lived inJohnson Bayou all of his life,

recalled that he had made a tripby boat to the lighthouse in 1973,which was the only way to getthere at the time. He and GenevaGriffith spent the day there tak-ing pictures of the entire light-house complex which will be abig help in the reconstruction ofthe buildings and the lighthouseitself.

After a news story came outthe copper top of the lighthousewas stolen which left the topunprotected from the elementsand helped cause the deteriora-tion of the stairway.

Robin, who is the greatgranddaughter of Henry Hill, thelighthouse keeper, told storiesshe has heard all about the light-house.

The lighthouse is locatedacross the river from Sabine Passand the keeper’s family did all oftheir business there, attendingschool, church, and other func-tions.

The present owners hadinherited the lighthouse fromtheir late fathers, W. E. Pielop, Jr.and P. G. Grenader.

They had gone to a govern-ment auction to buy some equip-ment for their company and gotthere late and found what theyhad come for had already beensold. they decided to hangaround and see if there wassomething else they could bid onand bought the lighthouse, sightunseen and for $55,000 includingthe 45 surrounding acres.

The July 3, 1986 article stat-ed that auctioneer John J.Connelly said before the auctionthat he expected to get $200,000for the old station.

In 1984 he had auctioned alighthouse in Cleveland, Ohio for$400,000. “That one didn’t eveninclude the land” he said. “Wehoped to get at least that muchfor this one.”

Lake Charles ArchitectRandy Broussard has taken aspecial interest in the light-house. His daughter Lauren, whois majoring in HistoricPreservation at TexasUniversity, and is using therestoration of the lighthouse forher thesis. Broussard outlinedwhat progress has been madeand what has to be done torestore it to it’s original state.

He predicted that by 2004,with the necessary fund raisingand grants the work will bestarted.

The third annual Sabine PassLighthouse Festival will be heldon October 20.

Mrs. Thibodeaux said that itis time for the Alliance’s mem-bership dues to be collected. Shesaid, “If you are not yet a mem-ber, join us and become active inthis endeavor to preserve andprotect this maritime historicalsite”.

After the ceremony lemonadeand old fashioned tea cakes wereserved.

FISHING, BOAT WEEKNational Fishing and

Boating Week is slated for June1-10. this is the busy boat seasonand safe boating should be prac-ticed by all.

Last year, Louisiana had 242boating accidents, 169 injuriesand 44 fatalities. This is a recordhigh for boating accidents forour state.

There are approximately330,000 registered boats inLouisiana, and that numberincreases during spring andsummer, as we have many visi-tors who trailer their boats toour state and some come to ourstate by waterways.

We see all the hundreds ofthousand boats in our water-ways and there is no specialtraining required to operatethese vessels by the operator.Anyone can purchase a boat andjust take it to the water as longas you’re 13 years old. Louisianadoes not have a mandatory safeboating education requirement.We do have laws for safetyequipment and life jackets, run-ning lights and pamphlets forright of ways and such, but nooperator training.

Our waterways are one ofour states biggest assets, withthe beauty and resources thatare offered to attract people. Wedo have safe boating classesoffered, but these are optionaland they are free.

There are a couple of Senatebills filed, one that makes boat-ing safety education mandatoryand one that raises the boatoperator’s age from 13 years oldto 16 years old.

A very large percentage offatalities rescued from boatingaccidents would be alive today ifthey had worn life jackets. It issaid, “It doesn’t work if you don’twear it.”

CORRECTIONSA correction on the Lemesche

Bass Club tournament for April.Fifth place team was DarrenRichard and Tom Hess with fivebass weighing 6-0. Their largestbass was 1-9.

In the largest bass, the teamof Loston and Rufus McEverswas fourth with a 2-14 bass, 17inches long. Carl Broussard andGeorge Melancon had a 2-14bass, 17 1/4 inches long for thirdplace.

FISHING REPORTSFishing report were skimpy

By being forwarddeployed aboard Arleigh BurkeShip , his mission also includescontinually engaging historicalallies as well as burgeoningdemocracies in order to positive-ly shape the security environ-ment, respond to crisis and pre-pare for an uncertain future inthe region.

Why serving country isimportant - “The United Statesis the greatest country in theworld,” said Blanchard. “Thefreedom of choice we’re given isworth defending. It is importantto me to play a part in continu-ing to provide that freedom.”

Blanchard’s sense of dutyand devotion were developedright here in Johnson Bayou,where he graduated fromJohnson Bayou High School in1987. As an Ensign, hereceived specialized Navy train-ing at the Navy Surface WarfareOfficer School in Newport, R.I.

A parent of two, who hasbeen married since 1991,Blanchard has been serving inthe Navy since 1987.

The annual spring cleaningritual typically calls for home-owners to open their homes tofresh air after a hard winter,dust those hard to reach places,clean the gutters and fertilizethe lawn. But we urge home-owners to also inspect theirplumbing system and connec-tions to plumbing-related appli-ances when spring-cleaning.

Every year homes of more

than a quarter-million familiesare struck by water damageresulting from a burst hoses,leaky pipes or faulty supplylines. The cost of repairs can runup to several thousand dollars.Despite the impact, homeown-ers rarely take steps to preventit.

May 3, 2001Dear Sir:

For decades, our bar pilotshave met their awesome respon-sibility, safely navigating foreignand domestic vessels throughthe treacherous waters of theLake Charles NavigationChannel laced with high-pres-sure underwater oil & gaspipelines, water too shallow formany deep-draft vessels, shiftingsands, and shoals.

In all sorts of inclementweather, they travel from LakeCharles to the pilot station atthe mouth of Calcasieu Pass,board a small pilot boat, traveloffshore, often in heavy seas, toboard incoming ships (hopefullyin a lea) using a Jacob’s Ladder,sometimes called...a “widowmaker.” It is to their credit therehas never been an incident likethe M/V Exxon Valdez or explo-sion, similar to Texas City. Theyrepresent our nation’s finest inthis most dangerous profession!

Since they have demonstrat-ed their accountability, shouldn’twe hesitate to burden them withgovernment regulations or quar-rel about their compensation?Shouldn’t we send them a bou-quet of roses with our love andappreciation?
