Tony Olinger gives an update on the murder trial that was scheduled to begin this week in Crowley.

If you were a fan of the show, make plans to attend. I am writing a book and would like your memories and details to make it an accurate account of John Plauche's life and his show, Polycarp and his Pals. It will be held on Tuesday November 25 at the Scott Library. 6:00PM to 7:00 PM.

Polycarp (Polycarp Phillipe Pecot Number 2) was a fictional character who hosted "Polycarp and Pals," a children's show broadcast on KATC Channel 3 in Lafayette, Louisiana from the mid-1960s to early 1970s.  The character Polycarp, portrayed by John Plauché, was an avuncular Cajun figure dressed in a plaid shirt and straw hat. He lived on a houseboat in an imaginary "Anse La Butte Swamp." The show featured original skits, recurring characters (like the "Crazy Professor" and "Maurice Mostique," a giant mosquito), and classic Warner Bros. cartoons. It was a beloved part of the childhoods of many in Acadiana.
