Good morning, Beaumont.

The Beaumont Police Department is mourning Lt. Curtis Breaux, a 39-year veteran who died following a medical emergency, and is coordinating funeral arrangements with his family.

A gathering for family and friends will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Broussard’s on July 23 (with a Rosary at 6:00 p.m.), and a Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 1:00 p.m. on July 24 at St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica before interment at Oak Bluff Memorial Park.

Students from churches across Texas worked over the past week to help repair homes in Jefferson County after Hurricane Harvey by removing debris, cleaning up, and supporting construction efforts — part of an ongoing recovery.

Director David Scott said the group from Bounce aimed to assist residents still coping with storm damage.

Aidan Heartfield was escorted home on Sunday via Calder Avenue at 5 p.m.—he was the last of four Beaumont natives lost during the July 4 flood in Kerr County.

His recovery, confirmed by DNA on Saturday, ended a week-long search amidst community vigils and banners along the route.

Students from Texas churches helped repair homes in Jefferson County last week after Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage—about 60 students and sponsors from Bounce worked on construction, debris removal, and cleanup with local groups to support affected residents.

On July 11, the Fourth Annual Gumbo Clayfest at The Art Studio, Inc. in Beaumont drew a good crowd as local ceramic artist Greg Busceme worked with three visiting artists—Tom Belden of Arizona, Chris Leonard of McAllen, and Gary 'Greeny' Greenberg of Pennsylvania—to display finished work for sale. Busceme said the festival overcame funding issues and offered free clay workshops that let attendees join the creative process while he plans to expand the event next year.

On Saturday, Beaumont residents attended a city open house to offer feedback on a proposed $179M bond that funds park, facility, infrastructure and downtown projects — including expensive items like golf course renovations and a new police headquarters.

City officials will review the input — with a final bond committee meeting set for July 22 — to decide on adding drainage improvements and other projects.
