The Sabine Pass Lighthouse, located in the far southwest corner of Cameron Parish along the Sabine River between Louisiana and Texas, was first lit in 1857. The lighthouse, which is now cut off from the mainland, has survived many hurricanes, including an 1886 hurricane that destroyed the keeper’s house, a 1915 hurricane that swept away all the outbuildings, wharf and walkways, and hurricanes Audrey, Rita, Ike, Laura and Delta.
If you’re looking for a road trip to see a 165-year-old piece of coastal Louisiana’s history, Sabine Pass Lighthouse in the southwest corner of Cameron Parish is worth the drive.
Church Point is no stranger to the rain, having endured water in homes and business during the Flood of 2016 as well as flooded streets during heavy downpours.
Claudette Olivier said she was raised to duck, dove and rabbit hunt, and she has hunted from Sabine Lake to Des Allemands to Dewey Wills Wildlife Management Area. Olivier started going duck hunting with her late father, Craig Olivier, when she was eight years old.
Louisiana State Newspapers Editor Claudette Olivier grew up on her dad’s family’s rice farm in L’Anse aux Pailles and comes from a long line of hunter-farmers.

Six area families will enjoy Thanksgiving dinner complete with all the trimmings — including dessert — thanks to the generosity of the staff of Encore Healthcare and Rehabilitation of Crowley in cooperation with the ASSIST Agency of Acadia Parish. The food was delivered to ASSIST in multiple containers recently to be sorted and delivered to “those most in need,” said Cory Gatte, administrator. On hand for the food delivery were, front from left, Gatte and Sophia Lewis of Encore; back from left, Tronda Glodd with ASSIST, Phyllis Tezeno, Destiny Senegal, Rhonda Littleton, Gretcher Hebert and Megan Duhon from Encore, and Dwight Alexander, housing director with ASSIST.
