A large oak tree passed away on Sunday in Abbeville, with one half crashing onto an unoccupied house on Maude Avenue, while the other half toppled across the street, taking down power lines in the process.

Tim Moore and his wife, LaShonda Moore, are establishing the Bay City Boxing Gym in Abbeville to support youth in Abbeville and Vermilion Parish.
The Bay City Boxing Gym recently hosted a camp at the Moore residence, introducing boxing to approximately 20 local youths. Activities included walking, jumping jacks, and practicing jabbing, including hitting a punching bag for the first time.
“I want to help the kids,” said Tim. “It is my calling. We are losing a lot of kids to violence.”
