The Paris News from Paris, Texas • Page 2

Records The Paris News, Monday, December 9, 1991 Newspaper Continued from Page One "This recession has been especially difficult for media companies and particularly hard on the second newspaper company in a market," Buzzetta said. The paper was burdened by the debt of two changes in ownership since 1986 and ended some recent months in the red, Times Herald Editor Roy Bode said. "We weren't losers as journalists," Bode said. "We lost in the end to the market and the economy." Wartime Continued from Page One through the hoop, so Byron would hold me up so I could make a basket. He didn't just give me a basketball and go away, he stayed to help me." Although Baldwin doesn't remember a lot about Paris, he says he remembers enough to know that it has changed.

He was disappointed that the cabin is gone and no picture of it can be found and that there isn't 1 much of Camp Maxey remaining, but he wasn't disappointed about not finding any cowboys. "When I came here as a child, I thought there would be cowboys on horses. I thought everyone in Texas was a cowboy," he said. Baldwin's father served in the 1st Infantry Division known as The Big Red 26th Infantry Regiment. After leaving Camp Maxey he served in Germany, France, The Netherlands and after the war was a military policeman with the Palace Guard during the German war criminal trials in Nuremberg.

He died in 1979. Baldwin, who is in-house legal counsel to Beech Aerospace Services, Inc. in Madison, a subsidiary of Beech Aircraft, says hell probably visit Paris again. "I was never as surprised in my life as I was when Mrs. Gladden called me.

I didn't think I'd ever find out anything about the cabin. This visit was just to break the ice and to keep me from procrastinating any longer. Fll be back." Griffith Continued from Page One law enforcement for 11 years, according to this former Lamar County deputy, who has been employed be several other law enforcement agencies. In addition to his employment with this county, he said he-has worked for sheriff department Panola, Marion, Shelby counties and municipal police departments in Gladewater, Pittsburg, Gilmer and Clarksville. A 1977 graduate of the East Texas Police Academy, Griffith began his law enforcement career while serving in the Army as an undercover narcotics agent for a military criminal investigation division.

After six years service, more than half of which was served in Southeast Asia, Griffith joined the Gladewater Police Department where he worked under and was trained by a retired Texas Ranger, Capt. E.J. "Jay" Banks, then chief of the police department. Griffith attributes much of his training to Banks, who he said personally trained him in the field of criminal investigation. Griffith said his past experience with jail problems included personally designing renovations to the Panola County Jail which were approved and implements to meet jail stand regulations.

As far as the of th' 1 Griffith said "federal and regulate the procedures which, when properly adhered to, together with good administration and proper supervision will result in a more professionally operated place of incarceration." Another of Griffith's priorities is crime reduction, he said. "One of my priorities as the sheriff of Lamar County will be to reduce the crime rate through a team effort of all Lamar County law enforcement officers," he said. "Through past experience, I have found that no single department can effectively control the fast- growing crime rate (and) that all law enforcement agencies can peacefully and cooperatively work together to bring about a reduction of crime and make our city and county a safer place in which to live." Griffith said he feels the sheriff has a responsibility to be a "working sheriff as well as an administrator. "In a county the size of ours," he explained, the sheriff must be willing to actively patrol the county, answer calls, conduct investigation and work with the citizens of Lamar County. "For, without the cooperation of the citizens, no law enforcement agency can properly function." Griffith said he intends to increase county-wide patrols and for patrol deputies to work more closely with the citizens of the county.

The son of the late Malcolm Riey "Jerry" Griffith and Dorothy Ingram Griffith, he resides in Lamar County with his wife, Glenda, and their children, Tammy and Chris. Griffith is a member of the Paris Masonic Lodge, and the whole family are active members of the Family Worship Center of Paris. Surgery Continued from Page One cording to Dr. Duplantis, the an- giogram revealed a very dangerous situation, that Spring's left main coronary artery was almost completely blocked. Open heart, bypass surgery is a procedure where blocked heart arteries are bypassed by other arteries taken from the patient's chest wall and legs.

Dr. Lewis, who only recently moved to Paris from Illinois, credits St. Joseph's Board of Trustees and the leadership of CEO John Koobs with bringing the cardiovascular program where it is today. "Starting a heart program is enormously expensive in terms of technology and people," Dr. Lewis said.

"It takes a lot of guts to spend the money like they've spent and do the program in a quality way. Koobs deserves a lion's share of the credit." Participating in Saturday's surgery in addition to Dr. Lewis and Dr. Babcock were: anesthesiologists Dr. Rex Hyer, Dr.

Lorena Russell and Dr. Richard Schuhmacher, perfusioniata Lloyd Yancy from Baylor's Cardiovascular Support Services and St. Joseph's Kenneth Sewell; Gaylon Maddox, Stacy Nation, Sue Stephens, Vanessa Herron, Mindy Maxwell, Jo Carr, Janie Shaver, Susie Daniels and Chad Graham.
