The donnybrook over that one will likely take place early in the morning
(8:30 a.m.) of November 12 at City Hall when the planning folks are
formally presented with the request fora change of zoning to turn the deal.
(Tie city could perhaps raise needed revenues by selling tickets).
1 asked the pile of clothes with no face, hands or feet pushing between the
twin Halloween parties at Aw Shucks and Atop the Gator what he was
• doing dressed as The Invisible Man, and wiley husband Ray Allen replied,
"Practicing."
My Jaycees threw a super supper again this year for the smoke eaters and
bad guy grabbers of this My Ponchatoula, a feast prepared by members of
that brother service club Ken Quigley, Phil Alexander (and the irreplace-
able Vicki), and L.B. Hoover.
Get this - The politicos elevated Gary Stanga to the exalted position of
member of the Coastal Zone Management Committee to guard our shores
and do you know what happened next? Hurricane Juan.
"Hog's Heaven's" Kathy Joiner told me she'ld have a good cry if she
wasn't so afraid the tears would raise the Tangipahoa River higher than the
two and a haft feet and more that invaded her camp, the Jackson5, Jerry
Ishee's "Fairview," "Watergate'" and, to make the list short, everyone
sought of Lee's Landing.
The world's funny. James Peoples paid good money to have Lione}
Barrett put one of his Tangi Lifetime Pools in his house so he'd have nine
feet, no Louisiana alligator would be comfortable relaxing in a dry den, and
still some folks want to live right on the edge of the swamp and the edge of
the river and live like a piece of dry sawdust on a new desk blotter.
Now Rusty Walker, champion D.C. Reeves candy salesman, you'ld live
like an alligator if your morn let you. now wouldn't you (bring your unsold
candy to the cage and, at least while it lasts. I'll put you up in comfort).

Parish deputy gunned down,
suspect captur,,,dL with weapon
By CHUCK REED
Sheriff's Deputy
At approximately 8:30 a.m. Sunday
the manhunt for the alleged killer of
Parish Deputy R.A. Kent III was
concluded with the arrest of Gregory
Griffin
Griffin allegedly, shot and killed Kent
after the Kentwood deputy arrested him
for the burglary of a soft drink machine.
Tangipahoa Parish Deputies and Pike
County., MS Sheriff Dewayne Dillon
took Griffin into custody near the
Louisiana-Mississippi Border, Griffin
was arrested as a fugitive from
Louisiana by Sheriff Dillon and was
accompanied to Magnolia, Mississippi
by parish deputies and detectives for the
required booking
The arrest ended an intensive man-
hunt that included hundreds of officers
and deputies from numerous agencies,
including the Tangipahoa Parish
Sheriffs Office. Pike County. Mississippi,
Sheriffs Office. Louisiana and Mississippi
State Police. and Kentwood Police
Department.
Also taking part were deputies from
the following sheriff's departments:
Washington Parish. Livingston Parish,
St. Tammam: Parish. St. John Parish,
and St Helena: Parish Police Depart-
merits assisting included Osyka, Ms.,
Amite. Independence, Hammond.
Roseland, and Franklington. Blood-
hound search teams from Dixon
Correctional Institute. St. Helena
Parish. and Washington Parish were
utilized in the search.
That search began Friday night at
approximately 9:15 p.m. when it was
confirmed to deputies of the Tangipahoa
Parish Sheriff's Office that Deputy R.A
Kent II[ had suffered multiple shotgun
wounds after arresting Griffin. Kent was
shot at a small grocery about four miles
east of Kentwood on La. 38.
Griffin is thought to have fled in his
1978 Thunderbird which was found
wrecked a few miles north on the State
Line Road.
The Sunday arrest of Griffin was a
cooperative effort by Sheriff Dwayne
Dillon of Pike Co.. Ms.. and Deputies
from Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's
Department. The suspect told authorities
where he could be found as a result of
intense and constantly increasing
pressure of the investigation involving
his family, and residents of the
community in the area in which he was
hiding Extended conversations with
family and community members
apparently convinced Griffin that it was
in his best interest to surrender.
according to Sheriff Ed Layrisson.
Griffin was treated for minor injuries
apparently from a car wreck and
gunshot to the arm, from Kent's pistol.
Griffin has been returned to
Louisiana and is being held on first
degree murder charges in a high
security facility outside Tangipahoa
Parish awaiting hearing. That facility is
not being named for security reasons at
this time.

A 12-person civil jury handed down a
million dollar verdict Friday after a two
week trial in Tangipahoa Parish•
Joe Simpson and Paul Due of Baton
Rouge, who represented the plaintiffs.
both stated that they thought it was the
first million dollar verdict by a jury in
21st Judicial District. although there
have been some settlements larger. The
trial was also one of the largest civil trial
in the history of the Parish.
Howard Schwamb, Jr., and his wife.
Mary Ruth, of Ponchatoula. were the
successful plaintiffs. Schwamb, who
was the chief engineer, responsible for
building the billion dollar refinery at
Good Hope. was hit on the head by a
falling brief case while on a Delta
airplane on September 29. 1983. The
plane was approaching New Orleans
when a Passenger Harley Sexton of
Mississippi got up to get his coat out of
an overhead bin. and the briefcase fell
and hit Schwamb. Schwamb did not
know of his immediate injuries, but the
next morning could hardly get out of
bed, and. subsequently, has undergone
medical treatment for neck and back
injuries, plus injuries to his eyesight and
hearing. Schwamb, who earned over
I00,000,00 per year was never able to
return to work.
Schwamb also had a $200,000,000.00
(two Hundred Million dollars) project on
the drawing board for a golf course,
residential area. recreation area, horse
storage area. motels, and a complete
municipality on the Tangipahoa Parish-
Washington Parish line East of Amite
involving over 5000 acres of the Gewalt
property. The jury gave no damages fo
loss of income of this project but
instead awarded Schwamb $980,().00
for his injuries, and his wife Ruth
$35,000.00 for loss of consortium•
The case will be appealed by Delta
Airlines.
