field, Port St. Joe Elementary School; Judith Williams,
Port St. Joe High School; Patsy Johnson, Highland View.

Inspection of the City's oldest
sewage main collection system has
revealed some 20 locations where the
City must dig up the mains for
effective repairs, according to a list of
trouble spots released by the City
Clerk's office this week.
Work currently under way in the
City is employing the services of a
crew which is examining the original
-^ sewage system, locating trouble spots
' with a TV camera which is pulled
through the mains and repairs made
with a special device which cements
mny cracks or breaks in the main
,while the TV camera is travelling
Through the main.
BIG TROUBLE
Approximately 20 trouble spots
have proven to be too severe for the
travelling device to seal up leaks
which have been revealed by the TV
camera. In these approximately 20
locations, excavation of the lines
must be made and sections replaced
with new lines. The repair firm
presently working inside the City
does not have the responsibility to
make these major repairs. His duty
is to inspect the lines, pin-point the
major trouble spots and repair
the minor breaks.
Mayor Frank Pate said there is no
problem, except finances, with most
of the locations where repairs must be
made, but in one spot, the City legally
cannot disturb the property.
Mayor Pate said a major collec-


tion line runs under the Piggly Wiggly
Super Market through what was once
an alley, but was abandoned when the
business complex was built by George
Tapper over 20 years ago.
Pate said one of the trouble spots
in the sewer line lies in the parking lot
between the super market and the
Post Office, and the City has no
easement to go on the property. "The
City didn't get an easement to make
repairs when the alley was abandoned
way back when the shopping center
was built", Pate said.
Now, the City Commission has
initiated actions to try and reach
agreement with Tapper's estate in
order to obtain an easement to repair
utilities which run through the proper-
ty.
The City has a similar situation in
progress today, with Citizens Federal
wanting an alley abandoned beside
their building so it can be expanded.
The City has told Citizens Federal it
would if the utility repair easement
was provided them. Citizens Federal
is in the process of doing the paper
work on this easement now.
ONLY ALTERNATIVE

"Our only alternative in the
Tapper Estate case is to get them to
agree to an easement or for the City
to build a new sewer main,
by-passing the buildings around the
Post Office, all at 'tax payer
expense. We don't want to do that",
the Mayor pointed out.


In the meantime, the City is going
through the procedure of trying to.
secure a federal grant to pay for a?
portion of the major repairs the City:
must make to the collection system.:
No estimate has beep given on the:
project, but Mayor Pate said, "It'llI
probably be substantial".
BASEBALL SEASON
You can tell it's baseball season in
Port St. Joe. Tuesday night, Commis-?
sioner James B. Roberts brought up:
several matters of projects around the:
boys baseball fields which need:
tending to. Roberts wanted one fence:
replaced and another extended in:
order to prepare the Major League!
ball field for the Dixie Youth
tournament which will be held here
this year.
Commissioner Bill Fleming made,
the suggestion the City embark on a:
program of replacing all wooden!
bleachers with aluminum units over:
the next two years.
Fleming estimated it would take!
10 units of bleachers to replace all the:
wooden units and provide bleachers;
for all the fields. He suggested the'
City purchase six units this year and.
tour next year.

SCounay Schol Bowd ExpectEfor-ement of the Rules


Adopts Regulations to


Isolate AIDS Suspects


Gulf County's school system now
has a document they can point to and
begin taking action from if a student
or an employee of the system is
diagnosed with the disease of AIDS at
some point in the future.
As Superintendent of Schools
Walter Wilder put it, when the new
rule was introduced some three weeks
ago, "We don't know what we're
getting into here. Medical science
doesn't have the answers we need,
yet, but at least we will have a base to
begin taking steps from if this malady
should be diagnosed here".
The Board had scheduled a
hearing prior to adoption of the ruling
Tuesday at their regular School Board
meeting, but there was no opposition
to the rule or arguments against its
adoption.
The new ruling allows the Super-
intendent tle authority to remove a
student from the classroom or take
steps to isolate an employee diagnos-
ed as having AIDS, as an emergency
measure until the Board can be called
in session and make a permanent
decision on each matter individually.
One of the keys to the policy will
be that a committee will be named by
the 'School Board to monitor the
'situation with suspected or confirmed
AIDS victims on a day to day basis.
"We'll not just isolate them like a
leper of Biblical times and forget
them", Wilder said.
In the case of students, who have
been diagnosed positive, they will be
removed from the classroom and the
system will make arrangements to
have the student taught at home.
The Board has adopted a set of
rules and regulations governing this
national hysteria with AIDS, which.
has been adopted and endorsed by the
Florida School Board Association,
with just a few minor changes to allow
the document to be applied on a more
convenient basis here in Gulf County.
ACCEPTS PROPERTY BIDS
The School Board has advertised
some half acre of what has been
described as surplus property, adja-
cent to the old Elementary School
property in Wewahitchka. The Board
is phasing out the old elementary
school site, as most of the classes have
been moved into a new building this
year.
The surplus property was former-
ly a playground used by the school,
and is located on Highway 71, just
north of the school buildings.
The Board received three bids


for the property, which will be studied
and a decision made to accept one of
the bids or reject them all on April 16.
Superintendent Wilder said the
bids ranged from $24,125 to $35,000 for
the property, but the law stipulates
they must sell the property for no less
than the appraised value unless they
have a valid reason to do so. The
property was appraised at $36,000 to
$44,000 prior to advertising it for sale.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other 'business items, the
Board:
-Endorsed and voted to support a
movement to preserve the old floating
bridge at Overstreet. The bridge was
scheduled to be moved to Tampa and
sunk off-shore for a fishing reef, but
an effort is being made by several
Gulf County citizens and organiza-
tions to have it kept here as a historic
marker.
-Set up the school calendar for
school year 1987-88, which is practic-
ally the same as for the current year.
The major change is in the spring
holiday week, which has been moved
up to April 4 through 8 next year. This
year's holiday break is April 20-24.


St. Joseph Bay has been included
in the approximately 20 aquatic pre-
serves in the State of Florida since
1969, but enforcement of the rules and
regulations which go along with being
a reserve have been largely ignored
because of lack of enforcement
manpower.

Aquatic Preserve Division of 'the


Fire Damages

Badcock Firm

Fire slightly damaged the Bad-
cock Furniture Company building
Monday morning.
According to Steve Richardson,
owner of the store, a fluorescent light
fixture ballast shorted out and caught
fire, scorching a place in the ceiling of
the building and causing insulation
and a few ceiling tiles to burn.
"I hate to think what would have
happened if this had happened during
the night", Richardson said. "It would
have been the Roche fire all over
again. The Roche store, two doors
down the street was destroyed by fire
four years ago, when a fluorescent
fixture caused a fire at night.


Department of. Natural Resources
said the primary reason for the public
hearing concerning the Gulf County
preserve was to notify the home folks
that the DNR is requesting funds from
the current session of the Legislature
so a full time manager for the
preserve can be placed on site to
monitor the bay.
Penton-said this move has been
made in Apalachicola Bay, with an
on-site manager being placed there
and said, "It has worked out very well
both for the protection of Apalachicola
Bay and for the people of Franklin
County as well", Penton said.
He pointed out that the placement
of an on-site full time manager
moves administration duties from
Tallahassee to the bay and solves a
tremendous public relations problem
with local residents. "It gives them a
local sounding board in the county
who understands local problems when
a thorny issue concerning the bay
comes up in the future.
Penton said, "We're trying to get
this job funded in the current session
of the Legislature and if we're
successful, he could be on the job by
around July 1".
Penton said a local manager
would provide easy access to a state


man in case of problems and the local
man 'could be instrumental in the
issuance of permits which now
sometimes take months to obtain,
simply because they all must be
handled through offices in Tallahas-
see.
Penton said the DNR wasn't
required to hold public hearings on the
placing of a full time manager to an
acquatic preserve, as they were doing
Tuesday night. "We're doing it this
way because we think it helps us with
public relations to bring our plans to
the people".
The state executive admitted that
certain rules and regulations have
been on the books for St. Joseph Bay
since 1969 when the bay was first
placed in the preserve program. He
agreed that the rules and regulations
which went along with such a
designation have been largely ignored
here in Port St. Joe beacuse of a lack
of manpower.
The people of Port St. Joe should
see no real drastic change from rules
applied in the past, according to
Penton. Fisermen, boaters, and swim-
mers may continue to use the bay as
in the- past. The aquatic preserve
people will be primarily concerned
that especially development activities


do not damage the bay or its shores.
"We have one of the best examples of
a pristine body of water in the State of
Florida here, and we want to keep it
that way", Penton said. He said the
Bay is one of the most important links
in the seafood nursery chain along the
Gulf coast.
Penton said certain effluent con-
trols have been in effect in the bay for.
the past several years. "You would:
be surprised at how rapidly and:
complete the bay has recovered:
since the controls went into effect", he
pointed out. ,
The St. Joseph Bay Aquatic:
Preserve does not include the entire:
bay. It includes only that part north of
the extended City Limits line between
Port St. Joe and Oak Grove and that
area which lies west of the shipping
channel into the bay. The area also
extends three miles into the Gulf of
Mexico to the west of the Peninsula.
Approximately three dozen peo-
ple appeared at the hearing, mostly
curious to see what new restrictions
would be placed on use of the bay.
Penton assured those present, there
were no new restrictions placed on the
bay. "We're just trying to get into
position to enforce those requirements
which are already there", he con-
cluded.

Spells
We wonder how many
read the story about the
planning committee at work
now in Gulf County last week?
Pretty dull stuff, you say? Of
no interest to me, you claim?
It might be true on both
counts, but the fact that the
committee is at work, carry-
ing a mandate of the State of
Florida, should not be boring
to anybody-particularly a
land owner.
: We're not writing this to
have you take up arms against
Gulf's planning commission
volunteers. We must come up
wiith this planning, says state
leaders, or the state will do it
f6r us. We feel Gulf County's
iiiterest in the matter of
planning will best be served
by Gulf County people ... not
state bureaucrats.
- The reason for this little
blurb is to alert you to the fact
that the planning is going on
and will be in progress for at
least the next two years.
It isn't something to be
ignored. When the plan is
finished, it is our information

Fishermen Are

Our letter writer to The
Star this week brought up
some good points in discussing
ihe need for a parking place at
the Stump Hole for fishermen
to park which would be safe to
ihie fishermen and to the
driving public.
There are some others we
would like to make in favor of
6ie project, even though they
will probably never be con-
dered when the final deci-
0flw is made. -
To be fair, however, it is
our information that the two
agencies which usually bottle
up projects like this, have
given their approval for the
parking site to be built and
some of the marsh at the site,
filled in.
: The point we would make
is that the entire Gulf of
Mexico is right here, just a
good, healthy chunk of a rock
from county road 30-C. Such
4n inviting body of fishing
water being only a stone's
throw away makes it an open
invitation to people to come
fish. Nothing could be more
iiatural.

*ontng"

County development to stick
by the plan in the future.
To chew up the words
"comprehensive plan", for
the ordinary property owner,
who maybe has an acre or
two, or a couple acres of pines,
or maybe a small piece of
swamp land-what the words
mean are:
Zoning!
For all these years, the
word "Zone" has been a dirty
word for most owners in Gulf
County. People in this neck of
the woods feel they should be
allowed to do what they please
with the land they own.
After the plan is drawn,
unless proper consideration is
taken now in the talking stage,
this idea of doing what you
want with your property will
be nothing but a long-gone
dream.
We're going to have zon-
ing in the plan. If that zoning is
to be such that we can live
with it, we're all going to have
to become interested in this
comprehensive plan thing and
do a little ear bending with the
committee about our special
desires.


Gonna Fish!

and Fish and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife wants to study the
proposal to see that the future
of fish and wildlife isn't
damaged. Are fish and wildlife
still propogated and protected
so hunters and fishermen will
have an ample supply of
game? If so, why are we
going to extremes here to keep
fishermen from getting to a
site to catch the fish 'we are
preserving for them?
-If that sounds crazy, itWs
because-it-is. -
Fishermen, being the sort
of breed they are, are going to
get to the fishing spots. If
government agencies build a
10-foot fence around 'the
Stump Hole beach, the fisher-
men will find a way in to wet
their line. In the process, they
might tear up a dune, break
off a sea oat or step on a
fiddler crab getting to their
fishing spot.
How much more sense
does it make to provide him a
sensible way to get to his
fishing hole in a manner which
won't damage anything ex-
cept in somebody's imagina-
tion?

Safe Parking

'Area Needed
At Stump Hole
Dear Editor,
Your lead article in the March 26
issue of The Star is certainly
interesting. The County Commission-
ers proposal to stabilize the marshy
area at the "Stump Hole" has raised
objections from the Audubon Society,
Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Laughable, isn't it? I have fished the
"Stump Hole" for some years and as
anyone who knows the area can
testify, the swampy area the County
Commission wants to stabilize wasn't
even there until Hurricane Kate
visited us some 16 months ago. Of
course, a self-styled conservationist
group and two not too swift govern-
mental agencies file objections alledg-
ing "destruction of the habitat." I
didn't notice them filing any objec-
tions when six houses were built last
year on the "dunes and other sensitive
areas" adjacent to the proposed fill
area.
I also didn't notice the Audubon
Society or any governmental agencies
filing objections to the recent applica-
tion for the construction of a dock into
the Bay, very close to the "Stump
Hole." The fact that the dock will be
built into a very productive clam bed
"doesn't seem to bother any of the
"instant conservationists". The only

construction ito 4thae appir to be.
just "commronifi folkss" 1o he'6ams
will be destroyed.
A safe parking area is needed at
the "Stump Hole." Traffic is getting
heavier and faster on the peninsula
each year and an accident caused by a
car partially parked on the road is
only a matter of time' The possible
accident hazard removal should be
sufficient reason for pressing ahead
with this worthwhile project.
The inclusion of the hogwash
about putting in a walkway "to
prevent people from walking over
dunes and sensitive areas to reach the
beach" is nothing but weak kneed self
serving pap. Whenever you look at the
peninsula, you see bulldozers, back-
hoes, ditchers, pile drivers and all
kinds of tracked and wheeled machin-
ery running all over the dunes. They
are cutting them down, plowing in the
sea oats, filling wet spots, laying
foundations, driveways, streets and

Fighting and Winning
I BELIEVE FIST-FIGHTING is a thing of the past. I don't think I've
seen a real, honest-to-goodness street fight since Tommy Hudson
whupped up on that guy who was trying to "snake" my date at an
apartment complex in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, back in 1969.
Let me say at the outset that I don't believe in fighting. It's not a
healthy sport. Every fight I've ever had they have been very few, thank
goodness I've lost. Even when I won, I lost. The ones I've had and lost, I
lost in more ways than one.
THE FIRST FIGHT I can remember having was with Warren
Jernigan. Warren and I had a little disagreement over a girl at school and
I suggested we settle it after school. We were both in the sixth grade and
we met at a little creek about a half-mile from the school that afternoon.
One strange thing about fights is that lots of people like to watch them
but not many want to participate. We had a good crowd that afternoon.
Warren wanted to "punch" it out but I would have no part of that. I
preferred wrestling and choking one another' to throwing meat
sandwiches at each other's face. Warren also had a little height on me
and his arms were about six inches longer than mine. That weighed
considerably in my decision.
As it turned out we wrestled and I won. And, although I won, I lost I
lost Warren's friendship and two of my friends were mad at me because I
wouldn't "punch it out" with Warren.
-I-I-+++
ANOTHER THING I'VE noticed about fighting is that a person who
does it more than once in a year gains a reputation, fast and hard. A
friend of mine in college, Charlie McArthur, had a firm reputation,
county-wide. I was with him at a party the night his reputation fell by the
wayside. Twomen beat the living pulp out of Charlie that night. They also
gave me a few knots about my face and shoulders, just to grow on.
The most interesting fight I've ever seen was in a parking lot at a bar
in Pensacola. Two women were fighting over a man. He and I, plus a
couple of dozen others, were watching.
It was one of the most brutal and vicious fights I have ever seen. They
started off pulling hair and punching each other in the face. Before long
they were grabbing at anything, and most of what they grabbed was
clothes. It wasn't long before they had pulled each other half-clothed.
When they fought into a dark corner, flashlights came on from
everywhere.
+++++
I LOST THE BIGGEST fight of my short and tragic career. It was a
sticky night in Jackson, Mississippi, and I was in my freshman year of
college. It was the first time I had ever drank any hard liquor. I learned a
good lesson that night. That lesson is, hard liquor doesn't mix with
anything and come out good.
That night I picked on a lad that was about six foot five inches tall and
weighed, by conservative estimates, 260 pounds. He beat me so bad that I
had to be finger printed the next morning to find out who I was. I didn't
even recognize myself!
KIRK DOUGLAS, THE movie star, recalled an incident that
happened to him shortly after he made the movie, "Champion." It's an
old movie made in the 1950's about a boxing champion who was a fierce
competitor.
He recalledd that shortly after the movie had been released and
-.',bca(ne popular, he *as in 'a'bar one night having a drink with some
friends. He noticed, in a booth not far from where they were standing,
that two men were watching him. It was obvious that they recognized him
and were about to challenge him.
When the biggest of the two, a man about twice his size, stood and
started his way, Kirk acted quickly. He said he brought both hands down
on the bar as hard as he could, at the same time saying, "HEY,
everybody! Listen to me!" When he did that, the man stopped in his
tracks and the bar became as quiet as a tomb.
With everyone's attention focused on him, he put his meanest look on
his face and stared directly at the man and delivered this disarming
challenge to his potential adversary. He stated emphatically, "Everyone
in this bar can beat me up!"
.... I HAVE ADOPTED that philosophy and I rest my case!


"Where's the money?"
I reckin' the only thing wrong
with that plan is no one is going to pay
a plug nickel to see me fight. And
that's why I kind'a admire both
Hagler and Leonard they've got to
know something and they have work-
ed hard to get themselves into a posi-
tion to earn that kind of money from
one fight.
The best fight I ever attended took
place in the parking lot behind our
high school, gym. I didn't actually see
how it started I was inside getting
ready for basketball practice when
Martin Paschal stuck his head in the
back door and yelled "Fight". We
might have had a bigger crowd but I
believe that Martin yelling fight was
about all the promoting that was done
by either fighter. I didn't bother with
my Converse high tops, I raced
barefooted out to the parking lot.
Hollis Mayo and Virgil
Quesenberry were standing toe to toe
slugging it out. Now, I've already told
you I don't know a thing about boxing,
so I don't know if they were using left
hooks or straight jabs. But I do know
that Hollis and Virgil were hitting
each other hard and often. Virgil's
nose was bleeding and Hollis' face
was as red as a beet. Finally Virgil hit
Hollis right square on the mouth and
as Hollis staggered back I thought it
was all over but as Virgil moved in
Hollis kicked him hard on the shin.
Virgil kind'a bent over and Hollis hit
him just above his left ear. That lick,
backed Virgil up and before they
could come back together Coach
Givens got between them and broke it
up.
They didn't earn 10 million a
piece, but they did get suspended
from school for five days. We didn't
worry about the suspension we
were too busy trying to determine who
won the fight. Ricky said later that he
thought Coach Givens raised Virgil's
hand after he broke it up, but I sure
didn't see it. That fight took place
twenty three years ago and we're still

Stump Hole
(Continued from Page 2)
cable. I've never heard ANYONE
worrying about tearing up the "dunes
and sensitive areas." But if a few
fishermen walk to the beach, they are
injuring the environment, therefore a
walk has to be built.
We need a parking area at the
"Stumps" to protect human beings
from death or injury. If a walk is put
in, fine, but the Commission should be
forthright enough to admit that the
parking area is what is needed. A
walkway to the beach is redundant.
A closing note for your consider-
ation. This "tempest in a tree trunk"
is amusing, as I have seen several old
maps circa 1830 or so that show a
"South Pass" located right where the',.
"SttiuiipHole" is now. 'There is also a'
log of the U.S. Revenue Cutter
"Taney" reporting on the escape of a
"pirate" from St. Joseph Bay throtigh
the "South Pass." All we have to do is
wait until the right hurricane comes
along and the enttie problem will be
solved. There will be a nice pass at the
former "Stump Hole" location and the
County Commission will be trying to
get a bridge built over to the new "St.
Joseph Island." No doubt the Audubon
Society and a couple of bureaucrat
bunglers will protest that too.
Sincerely,
Leland Everett

Local Woman Found Dead In Apalach


Automobile exhaust fumes, acci-
dentally inhaled, caused the death of a
Port St. Joe woman and an Apalachi-
cola man near Apalachicola Airport
last week end, according to Franklin
County Sheriff Jack Taylor.
Police identified the two as
Robert McClain, 29, of Apalachicola
and Suzanne McFarland Hobbes, 29,
who listed a Panama City address but
is a native of Port St. Joe.
Sheriff Taylor said the medical
examiner in Tallahassee had deter-
mined the exact cause of death to be
carbon monoxide poisoning.
"The investigation has found no
signs of foul play," Sheriff Taylor
said,"and it appears that death is the
result of accidental asphyxiation from
the automobile exhaust".
Police said investigation revealed
the car had no tail pipe and a leaky
carburetor.
The bodies of the two were found
Sunday morning after a passer-by had
called the sheriff's department about
9 o'clock and reported seeing a car
backed into a wooded area about
150 feet from the road, police said.
Police fixed the time of death at
sometime either late Friday night or
early Saturday morning. Police said

arguing about who won it.
Pretty soon you'll hear talk about
a Hagler Leonard rematch. For that
kind of money, if I was them, I'd fight
each other about every six months.
But that's not the fight I'm interested
in. I want to see a rematch of the
Mayo Quesenberry fight. I've got a
call in to Hollis right now. We could
get Martin Paschal to promote it for
us of course we'd have to work on
his advertising techniques. You know
ESPN would set up a ring for us out in
the parking lot behind the gym...
Respectfully,

Cancer Society Kicks Off Crusade


Port St. Joe's Cancer Crusade
workers received their campaign
materials and a pep talk from Dr.
Gregory Bruce at. their campaign
kick-off breakfast Saturday morning.
Gulf County ACS president, Steve
Richardson announced Gulf County's
goal for the current year has been
established at $5,500. Crusade direc-
tor, Al Ray, remarked the Gulf
County chapter had been going over
their goals year after year. "We

should be able to make this smaller
goal with no problem at all", Ray
said.
Ray remarked the "Send A Mouse
to College" project among elemen-
tary school classes has already raised
$220.00, getting the Gulf County fund
drive off to a fast start.
Dr. Bruce, in explaining how
much the Cancer Crusade drives have
helped the fight -against cancer
through research, stated, "There is
hardly anyone alive to day who has
not been touched by cancer in some
way. Of course, all of us are terminal,
but cancer can be curtailed even more
as the cause of death among our loved
ones".
Dr. Bruce assured the crusade
members the money they raised was
being put to good use. He said cancer
deaths have been reduced in the
past 50 years. "In the 1930's, survival


after cancer diagnosis was only 20
percent. Today it is well over 49
percent survival, attesting to the
effective role research is playing in
the fight against this dread disease".
"We all hope scientists will come
up -with the 'polio answer' to the
cancer problem before we get it", he
said in conclusion.
Chapter president, Richardson,
and Crusade Chairman Ray, passed
out individual kits of campaign tools
to the volunteer workers after the
program.

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION
DETERMINATION
For the Proposed Project of Port St. Joe, Florida
(EPA Step 1 Planning Grant No. C12095030)
The EPA has conducted a review of the above
subject project in accordance with the procedures
(40 CFR, Part 6) for implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act. The EPA has determin-
ed that this project is eligible for a categorical ex-
clusion. Accordingly, the EPA is exempting the
project from further substantive environmental
review requirements under the National En-
vironmental Policy Act.
The project includes minor rehabilitation work
on an existing gravity sewer collection system
(See attached map). Specifically, this work in-
volves replacing 1,210 linear feet of gravity sewers
and performing 300 linear feet of point repairs.
This work reflects the cost-effective rehabilitation
as detailed in the 1986 City of Port St. Joe sewer
system evaluation survey.
The proposed project is included in the scope of
EPA grant C120695-03, scheduled for funding in
FY-87. The total estimated allowable cost is
$238,700. The reserve capacity cost ratio is 1.0,
therefore, the EPA share with 55 percent of
allowable cost is $131,300.
This project is eligible for a categorical exclu-


sion under the criteria in 40 CFR 6.505 such that:
1. The project will not create a new or relocate an
existing discharge to surface or ground
waters.
2. The project will not substantially increase the
volume of discharge nor load of pollutants.
3. The project will not provide capacity to serve
a population 30% greater than the existing
population.
4. The project will not have a significant effect
on the quality of the human environment.
5. The action will not directly nor indirectly af-
fect cultural resources, habitats of endangered
or threatened species, or environmentally im-
portant natural resource areas. .
6. The action is cost-effective and should cause
no significant public controversy.
The documentation to support this decision
Swill be on file with the Florida Department of En-
vironmental Regulation, Bureau of Wastewater
Management and Grants, and is available for
public scrutiny upon request.
Comments regarding this decision may be ad-
dressed to Mr. Ernesto A. Perez, P.E., Chief,
Facilities Planning Unit, Program Support Sec-
tion, Facilities Construction Branch, Water
Management Division, EPA Region IV, at the
above address, or call him at (404) 347-4491.

Homers Rough Up Sharks During the Week


A pair of two-run homers by Bay
High gave the Tornadoes an eight run
lead' in the first two innings, which
was enough to send the Sharks back
home in defeat, 9-7, last Wednesday
afternoon.
The Sharks put out some fire-
works of their own in the first and
third innings, but could not overcome
the Bay High second inning outburst.
Both Mickey Gainnie and Randy


Eye Openers

NOW YOU CAN
HAVE BLUE EYES!
Until recently, tinted soft contact
lenses were only effective on eyes that
were light-colored (blue, green, ha-
zel). Those people with brown eyes
could not take advantage of the
cosmetic excitement these color con-
tact lenses add to one's appearance.
Now there are soft color contact
lenses that can change brown eyes to
blue, green or aqua. And what a
difference they make in the way you
look, especially if you always wanted
blue eyes.,
Like other soft contact lenses,
tinted ones can be fitted for either
daily or extended wear. They are not
yet available in toric lenses for the
highly astigmatic patient. The optics
are precise and the lenses will give
you clear, comfortable vision. And,
what fun when you meet a friend who
could swear you used to have brown
eyes.
Like all contact lenses, these new
tinted lenses need regular cleaning
and disinfection in order to be worn
safely. And, of course, they should be
checked by your optometrist on a
regular schedule.

service by:

Wilder slugged two homers each in
the game. Gainnie's two blasts
accounted for three of the Shark runs
and Wilder drove in four runs with his
two round-trippers, accounting for all
of the Shark runs.
Marty Williams and Tim Davis
each rapped two singles for the
Sharks and Cris Revell added a single.
Robert Hurst and Steve Smith
struck the game-winning blows, chas-
ing starter Tim Wilder from the
mound in the third inning.
Mickey Gainney went the rest of
the way for the Sharks, giving up only
one more run in the fourth inning.
But, the Sharks couldn't rally
enough to overcome the Tornadoes'
two big blasts.
The Sharks out-hit the Tornadoes,
eight to four, but like several of their
recent games, the Sharks just couldn't
bunch their hits up to score runs when
they had men on base.

Marianna 10, PSJ 3
Saturday the Sharks had Marian-

home a 10-3 win with them.
Marianna did their damage inrthe
third and fourth innings, when the
'Dogs scored six of their 10 runs.
The Sharks managed only four
hits, a double and a single by Randy
Wilder and two singles by Joe Norton.
Mickey Gainnie started on the
mound, but was roughed up in the
third for four runs, before giving way
to Tim Wilder in the fourth. Gainnie
gave up 11 hits, walked one and struck
out nine. Wilder allowed three hits,
allowed one base on balls and' struck
out four.

and were slugged by the Kentucky
team, 11-1.
Owensboro scored five runs in the
first two innings, then sealed the win
with a four run fifth, while they held


the Sharks scoreless after their one
run in the first.
Tim Wilder started on the mound
for the Sharks and went five and
two-thirds innings, giving up seven
hits, allowing four walks and striking
out 10. Mickey Gainnie pitched the
remainder of the game, giving up
three hits and three walks while
tallying one strike out.

' Several Festival Activities Signed

Second Annual Event Has Entertainment Scheduled for Everyone


Citizens and visitors have a big
treat in store for them on April 25. The
Bay St. Joseph Care Center, Bay,
Franklin and Gulf County Senior
Citizens have been planning the
second annual seafood festival since
December of 1986 for the enjoyment of
everyone.
The day will begin with the Port
St, Joe Kiwanis Club's annual pan-
cake breakfast. The breakfast will be
followed by the Lion's Club Run for
Sight which starts at 9:00 a.m. with a
Fun Run, followed by the 10K run at
9:30.
The opening of the festival is
scheduled for 10:00 a.m. with a
gigantic balloon lift off, opening
remarks and presentations. All during
the morning volunteers will be busy
setting up booths where one can buy


almost anything from boiled peanuts
to delicious seafood. The world
famous Apalachicola oysters, steam-
ed clams, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice
cream and delicious homemade
baked goods will be sold.
The entertainment is fabulous. The
talented and professional eight mem-
ber United States Air Force band
starts it off at 11:00 a.m. They will be
playing the latest top 40 hits.
Our own Cindy's Darling Dolls
and the Port St. Joe Taekwondo
Karate Club will be demonstrating
their latest moves. Two of the popular
bands on the beaches are Buddy
Hamm and Keith Spell. They will also
donate their time to help the seniors
raise funds. If you like fast dancing,
you're sure to enjoy watching and
tapping your toes to the beat of the Big


River Cloggers and that fast talking
caller, Ron Ray and the Sunshine
Square Dancers.
All day long, beginning at 11:00
a.m. and continuing every hour, a
giant raffle will be held. The local
merchants have been so generous that
55 items have been donated already.
Tickets will be on sale at the senior
centers in both Wewa and Port St. Joe,
at WJBU radio station, and from any
senior that attends these centers. The
seniors will also sell tickets in
downtown Port St. Joe beginning the
week of April 1st.
Nobody will forget the super pie
eating contest or the exciting dunking
booth. Those of you who missed the
chance to dunk the sheriff or Johnny
Linton will have another chance at


them this year. These two men are
always ready and willing to heJp the
senior citizens.
This festival promises to be fun
for everyone. There will be clowns,
games, and dozens of arts and craft
booths.

Is Protestantism a failure?
If success means that the Pro-
testant movement has replaced Rome
as a governing power, then it is a
failure.
If success means that Protest-
antism has estab-
lished uniformly
accepted doc-
trines, then it has
If the goal of UND
the reformation by the Rev. Jer
was to create loy- bytheRev.Jei
alty through con-
fessions or sub-
mission to central authority, then it
has fallen flat.
And if we take the modern,
negative connotation of the word
Protestant (that is, one who is against
something) to be the purpose of the
reformation, Protestantism is a fail-
ure.
If Protestantism is successful it is
because of its ancient and positive
connotation. The root meaning of
"pro" is for, while "test" is derived
from the stem from which we get the
word testify. A Protestant, according
to the ancient meaning, is "one who
speaks for" the truth of the Gospel.
Success in this sense can be
shared by Christians, regardless of
their Church affiliation. If you are
speaking for the Good News of Jesus
Christ, you have grasped the essence
of the reformation from which Pro-
testantism has come.
Many modern Christians are a bit
confused about what the Good News of
Jesus Christ is. Not so with the early
Christians.
The earliest Christians had not
established fixed doctrines, rigid
ecclesiastical governments, confes-
sions or central authorities. They had
to get by with the account of Jesus' life
and the teachings of the Apostles.
To them the Good News was that
God himself had entered into the life
of mankind through the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus.
As Easter approaches the resur-
rection of Jesus will receive more
attention. But unfortunately many
people will see the event as just
another indication that there is life
after death. It is that, but it is much
more.
Above all else, the resurrection is
,the proof that Jesus is the Christ or
Messiah of God.
For centuries the Jews looked for
the Messiah. And those who have not
yet experienced the light of Christ are
still looking for their redeemer. The
disciples who dared to hope that Jesus
was the Messiah were not disappoint-
ed. When they accepted this truth they

your adherance to confessional state-
ments, arid your submission to central
authority does not have the same
foundational basis that was accepted
as the norm by the earliest Christi-
ans?
'. Martin Luther and the other
reformers tried to lead Protestantism
back to the basic fundamentals of
Christianity. If the movement has
achieved this goal, then it has been
successful. But if the importance of
the resurrection has been omitted,
then as St. Paul has said, such "faith
is in vain".
The reformation goal has been
met in you if you are pro-testifying by
your words and life that Jesus was
God in person, who lived, died, and
was raised again from the dead. Is
Protestantism a failure? You answer
the question.

Britt Pickett. Attorney Rish stated he
is making progress, and getting
positive results from the State Gov-
ernment.
Comm. Money requested the
Board hold a workshop to set up a
Road paving priority list, and check
ways of funding the paving. Comm.
Money discussed the possibility of a
tax on gasoline, as everyone in the
county uses the roads. The Board
tabled this request until the next
meeting.
Comm. Money stated that an
excellent job has been done on the
maintenance and cleanliness of the
Courthouse, and requests the Clerk

Assistant Wells and his employees
commending them on their fine jobs.
The Board agreed.

ling lights jn.the parking arpa .f, ,h

opposing the Waste Water Treatment

specifications to cap parking lot for

The Administrative Assistant re-
ported that the bid was awarded to the
low .bidder (St. Joe Furniture Com-
pany). The carpet is to be here at any
time.
The Administrative Assistant re-
ported on the first meeting to discuss
the comprehensive plan, and stated
there was concern about the fast
approaching deadlines that have to be
met. He also reported the county
engineering firm Baskerville-Dono-
van had written to the Department of
Community Affairs, requesting an
extension on the deadline.
Administrative Assistant Wells
reported back to the Board concern-
ing an invoice he had previously
recommended the Board not pay until

spending for this project. The Admin-
istrative Assistant said the engineers
reported the county would have to

will probably be two months at the
earliest before the landfill will be

Even A Small Garden Space Can



be Fun, Satisfying, Productive


Even Containers Can Produce A Large Variety of Vegetables


By ROY LEE CARTER
Extension Agent
Vegetable gardening is more
pc-pular today than ever before. We
usually discuss this subject in the
context of the backyard garden.
However, that isn't always fair to the
growing number of Floridians who
live in mobile home parks, apart-
ments, and condominiums where
there's little or no backya 'd to be had.
Just because you don have a big
yard with lots of room doesn't mean
you can't grow vegetables. In fact,
you can enjoy working with a
strawberry barrel or a half dozen
tomato plants as any backyard
garden. My information for this
article was provided by Extension
Vegetable Specialist Jim Stephens.
In addition to being an enjoyable
activity, mini-gardening is both prac-
tical and ornamental. Containers fit

almost anywhere in the landscape, or
patios, porches, and balconies, even
rooftops.
Depending on the type of vege-
tables you plan to grow, there's


practically no limit to the kinds of
containers you can use, pots and pans,
milk jugs, hollow cement blocks,
bushelbaskets, trash cans, barrels,
drums, and even plastic bags. Just be
sure the container you choose will
hold the soil in and let excess water
drain out.
Once you've selected a container
and have decided what to grow, it's
time to think about a growing
medium. Of course, you can plant in
either ordinary garden soil, or a
prepared soil mix. A good growth
medium can be made of one bushel of
vermiculite, a bushel of peat moss,
one-and-one-quarter cups of dolomite,
and a cup of 8-8-8 fertilizer with trace
elements all mxied thoroughly. You
could also use a bushel of peat,
well-decomposed compost, or cow
manure. Either way you need to add
the dolomite and fertilizer. With
mini-gardning, you have another
growth media option. You can use soil
substitutes, things like sawdust, wood
shavings, pure sand, or gravel. If you
plant in one of the lighter substitutes,
such as sawdust or wood shavings, it
will be easier to move the container, if
necessary. In any case, fertilizing a


mini-garden planted in soil substi-
tutes, such as I've mentioned, is quite
different from the method used with
soil mixes or in backyard gardens.
Soil substitutes are porous and don't
hold moisture or nutrients very long.
Using such media, you need to water
and fertilize often. Normally, drench
the container with a nutrient solution.
once or twice a day, as many as five
times a day if it's especially hot and
dry.
The soil mixes we mentioned
earlier have plenty of organic matter
and some fertilizer, and usually retain
moisture well. So they don't need such
frequent watering and fertilization.
You can maintain a normal garden
watering schedule, or spread com-
mon, dry fertilizer on the soil surface
and water it thoroughly into the root
zone. Just don't apply too much or you
may cause fertilizer burn. Regardless
of your method, follow the fertilizer
label direction for container grown
vegetables.
If you want to grow vegetables,
but are cramped for space, give
mini-gardening a try. We think you'll
enjoy it, both the activity and the
produce.
