The Cameron Parish Pilot 35 ¢ February 6, 2003 Vol. 47--No. 6 Cameron, La. 70631 Lance Mudd has announced his candidacy for the position of Cameron Parish Sheriff in the October election. He is a native and lifelong resident of Cameron Parish and was raised in the community of Creole and currently lives in Sweetlake. Mudd is married to Kelly Foster Mudd, and they have three chil- dren, Kallan Mudd, Marlie Mudd, and Quincy Mudd. Mudd graduated from South Cameron High in 1984, and con- tinued his education at McNeese State University from 1984- 1989. He has worked in the oilfield business for most of his adult life. He is the former owner and manager of Cam-Waste of Southwest La. where he man- aged and supervised a larger number of employees. After Waste Management acquired the company, Mudd served as sales manager from 1999-2001. He is currently co-owner of M & C Oilfield Services, L. L. C. He is a member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He is an active member in the com- munity assisting in numerous projects involving his children. He has been appointed by the Cameron Parish Police Jury to represent Cameron Parish on the Southwest Partnership for Economic Development. The Cameron Parish School Board Monday approved the purchase of pole-vaulting facili- ties for South Cameron and Johnson Bayou high schools at a cost of $9,247 each. The board was recently advised that the Louisiana High School Athletic Association had set up new safety standards for pole vaulting facilities and that these standards would have to be met if pole vaulting was done at schools. Since only South Cameron and Johnson Bayou high schools intend to have pole vaulting this year, funding was approved for these schools. However, the board agreed that Hackberry and Grand Lake schools would be given these facilities next year if they added pole vaulting to their sports activities. The new mats and covering systems are not expected to be installed for several weeks, but it will give South Cameron and Johnson Bayou vaulters several weeks of getting used to the new facilities before the state meet. Supervisor Ron Vining dis- cussed with the board proposed repairs and projects at all of the schools this summer expected to cost about $170,000. Some of this expense will be making repairs to school tracks. The Cameron Parish School Board approved several person- nel matters at its meeting Mon- day. Meredith Cart was offered a one-year teaching contract. She is certified in math education through LSU. Delia DeBarge, Hackberry teacher, was granted extended sick leave. Brenda Hantz was hired as an elementary teacher at Hack- berry. Jessica Badon was named a child specific aide at Johnson Bayou.

By JERRY WISE The Cameron Parish School Board voted to change its monthly meeting time in an effort to make it more conve- nient for the public to attend the meetings. The board presently has its finance meeting at 3 p.m. and its regular meeting at 4 p.m. Beginning with the March meeting set for Monday, March 17, the board will change these meetings to 4 and 5 p.m. respec- tively. This schedule will be fol- lowed for at least six months to see if it enables more people to attend the meetings.

Dominion headquartered in Richmond, Va. and one of the nation’s largest producers of energy, had announced last year plans to construct a $129 million natural gas storage facility in Hackberry. The company purchased 187 acres in Hackberry and had hoped to have its underground storage facility, compressor facilities and pipelines under Dominion: Hackberry project put on hold construction this year. Instead Paul Briggs, Dominion representative, told the Police Jury Monday while the company has the money to proceed with the project it has- n’t been able to get a firm com- mitment from producers to store their gas at the Hackberry facil- ity. He said the company was going forward with the applica- tion process so as to be ready to begin the project when market conditions improve. The company had hoped to be in operation by 2004 provid- ing storage service to power sup- pliers in the eastern part of the United States. (EDITOR’S NOTE--The following are some excerpts from a letter written by his- torian W. T. Block of Nederland, Texas to former State Representative Conway LeBleu of Cameron, who is compiling informa- tion on early Cameron Parish state representatives. Mr. Block’s ancestors are from Cameron Parish and he has written numerous columns for the Pilot on parish historical topics.) By W. T. BLOCK I will try to help you as much as I can on compiling info on the early Cameron Parish state rep- resentatives. I don’t know how much I can add beyond the arti- cle I wrote about P. E. Smith and S. P. Henry. Phineas E. Smith was my great uncle, known as “Uncle Dick” within the family. I have a photo of him and younger brother, Uncle Jerry Smith taken I suppose about 1895. Phineas was born in Brandon, Miss., son of Duncan and Margaret Smith, in 1835. They moved to Indian Bayou in 1858 and to Leesburg (Cameron) in late 1860. Early Cameron Parish legislators are recalled My great grandpa Duncan Smith was an Abolitionist bit- terly opposed to slavery, even though he was born in North Carolina, as were his parents, but was raised in Brandon, Miss. He, Uncles Dick and Jerry, were Union sympathizers, spies, whatever, and they rode the off shore blockade ships often from Calcasieu to New Orleans. In fact my grandma Lou Ellen attended school in New Orleans during the Civil War. Dunc Smith brought in the Battle of Calcasieu pass almost single-handedly, was nearly cap- tured by the Confederates after the battle having hid out under his wife’s hoopskirts, and had a $10,000 price tag on his head. His biographer said he named the parish after his friend Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania, true or not I just don’t know. When he came out of the marsh in May, 1865 his hair and beard were down to his belt. Phineas Smith was a brother of my grandmother Lou Ellen Smith Sweeney and grandpa Jim Sweeney of GC; also of Aunt Mary Ann (Mrs. Martin) Crain of Big Pecan, of Mrs. Caroline Pleasant, and of Austin Buster and John Smith, merchants of Johnson Bayou. DEX MURPHY was selected Cameron Elementary School fifth grade student of the year. Parents are Reggie and Kim Murphy of Cameron. Grandparents are Shirley Murphy and Wendell Murphy of Cameron and Margaret Boudoin Zimmerman of Lake Charles and the late Johnny Boudoin of Creole. BILL TURNBULL, well known nature photographer and local civic leader, died two years ago this week. However, his thousands of photographs of Cameron Parish’s natural beauty live on. The above photograph of an offshore oil rig was taken from Martin Beach near Johnson Bayou. SCOTT TRAHAN and Bonnie Conner, above, chairman and vice-chairman of the Cameron Division of the 2003 United Way Campaign, have announced that the parish raised 102 percent of its goal this year. They thanked the Cameron Advisory Council, which contacted donors for their contributions, with special thanks to the Williams Company and employees, Duke Energy and employees, and the employees of the Cameron Parish Police Jury, School Board, Sheriff’s Dept., and all the individuals who participated in the campaign.

I wonder why no CameronParish state representatives arelisted for the scalawag years1870-1880 when the RadicalReconstruction legislature wasin session in Baton Rouge. S. P.Henry who moved to Leesburg in1873 had been a Union soldierfrom Indiana during the war, buthe was dearly beloved inCameron. One would think that Henry, a Union veteran, andSmith, a former Union spy,would carry a lot of clout withthe Radical Republican legisla-ture. however Reconstructionwas over in 1876.

August Pavell was the son ofFerdinand Pavell of Shellbankand Johnson Bayou. Ferd Pavellwas a Confederate cannoneer inmy grandpa Block’s Co. B.Spaight’s Battalion at SabinePass. Ferd and August werepostmasters at Shellbank. Theywere also well-to-do owning ashingle mill and shipyard atShellbank and a cotton gin andsugar mill on Johnson Bayou.My mother, Sarah JaneSweeney, born 1884 in GC,remembered S. P. Henry andAugust Pavell with fondness andstayed in the Pavell home as ayoung woman visiting kinsfolkat JB. August Pavell moved hisfamily to Phoenix Arizona in1912, perhaps because of con-sumption, and I lost track of himthereafter.

JJAAMMEESS MM.. WWEELLCCHHI know nothing about James

M. Welch. As I recall, J. D.McCall was the son of my secondCousin Thompson McCall of GC,who lived to about age 95 anddied in 1957. J. D.’s grandfather,my Uncle Bill McCall, husbandof Aunt Harriet Sweeney, andUncle Ike Bonsall, husband ofAunt Mary Eliz (Lizzie)Sweeney, were both killed at theBattle of Mansfield on April 8,1864. Thompson McCall and hissister Sue Stine were just babieswhen he died, and Uncle IkeBonsall had five little kids whenhe was killed. And Grandma LouEllen and her 2 sister-in-lawsnever spoke thereafter.

Perhaps even worse, UncleJerry Smith married my secondCousin Amelia Bonsall, whosefather was killed at Mansfield,and although they got along, herpeople called him the “oldYankee.” Eventually they movedto Texas and lived at SanMarcos, Cisco, and Dallas, whereUncle Jerry died in 1934. Uncle

Jerry ran a saloon in Leesburgin 1873 at the time my UncleJohn W. Sweeney was sheriff.

Uncle Phineas whom I knewmostly as Uncle Dick was staterepresentative for 4 years and hewas in the courthouse for about30 more, I can’t remember eithertax assessor or clerk of court.Mom said he used to take theRex to LC and catch theSouthern Pacific there for BatonRouge. I do know that he neverrode horseback because saddleshurt his behind, so he walkedeverywhere.

In 1923 when he was 88years old he caught the Rex toLC, and from there walked 90miles to visit his sister in SourLake, Tex. then he walked toPort Neches and spent 3 nightswith us before Dad rowed himacross Neches River and let himout in Orange County. He had astroke in Orange and died.

JJ.. BB.. EERRBBEELLDDIINNGGJ. B. Erbelding who was the

representative in 1916 was alsofrom Johnson Bayou. He was thebrother of my Aunt MattieErbelding (Mrs. Charles Albert)Smith of JB who moved to PortNeches following the 86 storm.J. B. Erbelding was postmasterat Johnson Bayou. The father ofboth was Dr. FrederickErbelding, who was the bayoudoctor; I remember his wife’sname but I would have to look itup.

I am kin to all the Pevetos onJohnson Bayou, also, AuntTassie and Laura, daughters ofMichel P., married my unclesBud and Gus Smith. AuntFlavia, granddaughter of MichelPeveto married my Dad’s broth-er Uncle Abbie Block and UncleMartin Block married AuntSally Crain of Big Pecan, sisterof Dunc Crain.

My Mom was first cousin toboth Dunc and Eugenia SweeneyCrain, making me double cousinto John Paul, Ned and Sono. Soyou see what I mean when I saymy folks were intermarried witheveryone in the parish.

Conway, except for yourself Iknow nothing of anyone that fol-lowed Erbelding. I am crowding83 years old. I walk with a canebecause of my ankles and knees,go to church every Sunday andwife and I play dominoes thereevery Tuesday. I still write like ademon, publish 2 columns inBeaumont Enterprise and 1 inMidcounty Review every weekalong with those in theDeQuincy and Cameron newspa-pers.

BByy:: TT.. CC.. MMccCCAAIINNThe oyster boat St. Joseph

was sunk by striking a sunkenpile in the middle of Grand Lakeloaded with 45 barrels of shelloysters from the Cameron reefs.The boat was bound for Orange,Tex., when the accident hap-pened. The crew was picked upby J. W. Gardiner’s boat withtow of cattle from top of cabinand taken to Cameron.

The captain and crew cameup to Lake Charles on theBorealis Rex and went to Orangeexpecting to return and raise hisboat later. This boat has been inthe above trade for the past twoseasons running regularbetween the same pointsthrough the Intracoastal Canal.While it is not lawful to ship oys-ters out of the state except froma shipping depot, this particularboat has been in the business allthe time.

The conservation commissionhas been notified regarding itand all the deputies also, but noaction has been taken in thematter up to this writing.

The captain claims he has apermit from someone, paying $3per trip. From evidence gath-ered, we claim he is simply apoacher on the oyster beds of thestate of Louisiana. He is not acitizen of this state as he lives inTexas and his boat hails from aTexas boat.

These beds belong toLouisiana and not to Texas; andI feel that they should be pro-tected by the state, as our city ofLake Charles can use all the oys-ters that Cameron has withoutany help from Texas ports.

DDUUCCKKSS WWEERREE LLAATTEEFebruary has come around,

and yes the cold spells farthernorth, has brought down a fewmore ducks and lots more coot toour parish. Now that the ducks-coot season is over with, we canstill enjoy looking at these birds,still wishing they would havecome down earlier.

I don’t know about the ground-hog, but “Boudreaux ‘D’ Nutria”sure saw his shadow here inCameron Parish, so we’ll have tosee now if we have six more weeksof winter.

The conservation order forgeese started Feb. 1, and to me itseems more geese in our area, somaybe we’ll enjoy a few goodgoose hunts.

This is the month for opos-sums to give birth to their young,as well as the armadillo.

Our overwintering waterfowl,mostly have paired up and willbegin the migration northward.

It’s time to clean and repaireastern bluebird boxes and westart to see purple martinsappear.

Hunting seasons to end thismonth will be squirrel Feb. 9,snipe season the 21st. and quailand rabbit ends Feb. 28.

The warmer February after-noons are good for fishing, as we’llsee white bass begin spawning,sac-a-lait (white perch) schoolsbreaking up and our Louisianalakes will be producing trophybass. Big largemouth bass will bebiting on crawfish at Toledo Bend.

FFIISSHHIINNGG RREECCOORRDDSSFish records set here in our

state: Louisiana fishing recordlargemouth bass caught by GregWiggins on Feb. 8, 1994 ranksfirst in the freshwater speciesdivision.

Randy L. Dubois had a Lou-isiana record white bass caughtFeb. 19, 1986 that went 4.13pounds ranks first in that speciesdivision, and then on Feb. 25,2000 William D. Hungerford’s16.25 pound hybird striped bass,caught in Lake Ponchartrain,ranks first in that freshwater

species division. So as you can see,Feb. is a good month to catchlarge fish if weather permits.

DDUUCCKK OOFFFF SSUUCCCCEESSSSFFUULLThe Hackberry Duck-Off,

Time is ticking away and theApril 15 tax-filing deadline willbe here before you know it. So, ifyou’re wondering how to keepmore dough in your own pocketsinstead of Uncle Sam’s, help isonly a phone call away. TheSociety of Louisiana CPAs(LCPA) will sponsor its annualLouisiana CPA Tax Hotline onWednesday, February 19 from 3until 7 p.m. Callers can expectto spend five to ten minuteswith a Certified PublicAccountant (CPA) and get free,professional assistance withtheir basic personal or corporatetax questions. The LouisianaCPA Tax Hotline can be reachedby dialing toll-free 800-288-5272.

“Many people who rush toget their tax returns in the mailsometimes miss out on valuabledeductions and credits that cantrim their taxes and increasetheir refunds,” says Daryl V.Burckel, LCPA Lake Charleschapter president.

“If you had a baby, adopted achild, or were married ordivorced in 2002 -- these are alllife events that can impact yourtax return. Perhaps you made adonation to a qualified charity,went back to school, or even suf-fered property damage from astorm or flood. Maybe you expe-rienced a capital loss when yousold stocks last year. And like anincreasing number of adult chil-dren, you may now be caring foran elderly parent.

“The LCPA understandsthere are many circumstancestaxpayers must consider eachtax season. That’s why ourmembers are proud to partici-pate in the CPA Tax Hotlineeach year --- to help callers bet-ter understand their tax situa-tion. The Hotline allows taxpay-ers to call in, get help free ofcharge, and feel a little moreconfident that they are not pay-ing more taxes than need be.”

The LCPA was organized in1911 and represents more than6,600 CPAs statewide workingin public practice, industry, gov-ernment, and education.

Around the world, there is nobetter loved or more recogniz-able flower in the plant kingdomthan the rose.

If you're thinking aboutadding roses to your garden,here's some information thatwill help you get them off to agood start.

First, decide how you want touse roses in the landscape andwhy you intend to grow them.The trend these days is to incor-porate roses into landscapeplantings just like any othershrub. This works particularlywell with the old garden roses,shrub roses, landscape roses,polyantha roses and floribundaroses.

If you want to grow roseswith perfect flowers on longstems for cutting, you will prob-ably choose the hybrid tea andgrandiflora roses. These rosebushes often have rather awk-ward shapes that do not com-bine easily with other plants.Those factors and their exactingcultural requirements are whythese roses often are grown inseparate beds.

If you want to train roses ona trellis, arbor or fence, you'llwant to choose rose cultivarsfrom the climbers, ramblers andold garden roses that producelong vigorous canes.

CCoonnddiittiioonnss FFoorr SSuucccceessssWhen placing roses in your

landscape, you also must consid-er the growing conditions theyneed to do well.

Do not plant roses in partlyshady or shady areas. Theymust have at least six to eighthours of sun to perform up toyour expectations. Any shadethey receive should, ideally,come in the afternoon. Morningsun helps dry the foliage earlyin the day, which can helpreduce disease problems.

Roses also need excellentdrainage, so avoid low areasthat stay wet.

Whether planting your rosesinto a bed devoted exclusively tothem or including them in exist-ing beds with other types ofplants, prepare the area where

they will be planted carefully. - First remove unwanted

vegetation (weeds, grass and soforth) from the area. You mayuse the herbicide glyphosate tokill unwanted plants if they aregreen and growing.

- Turn the soil at least 8 inch-es to 10 inches deep.

- Spread amendments overthe turned soil. Add at least 2inches of organic matter, such ascompost, sphagnum peat moss,rotted manure or finely groundpine bark. Next, sprinkle a gen-eral-purpose fertilizer appropri-ate to your area over the bed,according to label directions,and thoroughly dig everythinginto the soil of the bed. If the soilis heavy clay, a 2-inch to 3-inchlayer of sand also could beadded. Sulfur should be appliedif the pH of the soil is over 7.Lime is needed if the pH is lowerthan 5.5 and calcium levels arelow. To find what might need tobe added to your soil, have ittested through your parish LSUAgCenter Extension office.

- Thoroughly blend theamendments into the existingsoil, and rake smooth.

You may also choose to builda raised bed and fill it with apurchased topsoil or garden soilmix. This can work very well,especially if drainage needs tobe improved and you want togrow your roses together in abed. Choose a high-quality soilmix that is rich in decayedorganic matter such as compost.

Roses are sold in containersor bare root and generallybecome available at nurseriesaround January. Buy the high-est-quality bushes available,preferably 1 grade or 1.5 grade.It is well worth the extra cost fora healthy, vigorous plant thatwill produce lots of flowers.

It is best to purchase andplant roses in late winter or ear-ly spring so they can get estab-lished before beginning to

bloom. Avoid purchasing bare root

roses after February when theyhave already begun to sprout inthe package.

Container roses can be plant-ed as late as May with accept-able results, but an earlierplanting is much better.

PPllaannttiinngg RRoosseeTo plant roses, follow these

tips: - For bare root roses, remove

the roots from the wrapper andput the roots down in a bucket ofwater. Dig a hole in a well-pre-pared bed as deep and wide asthe root system. Place a cone ofsoil in the hole, position theplant over the cone and spreadthe roots out over it. Hold theplant in place so the graft union(large knob on lower part ofplant) is about 2 inches higherthan the soil of the bed. Useyour other hand to push soil intothe hole and to firm it up tocover the roots. Make sure thegraft union is 2 inches above soillevel when you finish.

- For container roses, dig ahole in the bed about the samesize as the root ball in the con-tainer. Slide the plant out of thecontainer. Remember, some-times roses have been not beenpotted up long enough for theirroots to fill the container andhold together the soil, so if thesoil falls away, that's OK. Justfollow the procedure for bareroot roses. Otherwise, put therootball in the hole. Its topshould be level with the soil ofthe bed. Make sure the graftunion is 2 inches above soillevel. Fill in around the rootball,and firm with your hand.

- Water plants in thoroughlyto finish settling the soil, andmulch.
