Receding In Gulf Residents Will Begin Trickling Back Into Flooded Areas This Afternoon to a Massive Clean Up of Homes and Property Board Deals With "Flood Floyd Refuses to Assume Duties As Attorney. Even the County Commission meeting was permeated with flood water needs Tuesday night, as the Board attempted to take care of the county's business in spite of the devastatUon which was be- ing experienced by:. residents along the rivers which flow through the county. Solid Waste Department di- rector Joe Danford suggested to the Board that containers be pro- vided for residents of the flooded areas to place material ruined by the rising waters for disposal. 'This should prevent them Just hauling it out in the woods. There *Will be a lot of debris following the receding water." Danford suggested the con- tainers initially be placed on the Doc Whitfield Road at the Indian Bayou Road intersection in the Howard Creek Road and at the intersection of 22A and Red Bull ;'Island Road in Wewahitchka. The . county will transport accumulat- ed debris to the landfill in the trailers. Interim Sheriff James Coats reported that "every law enforce- ment agency stationed in Gulf County was active In the disaster "nd were working well together.'" Marshall Nelson, Emergency Services director, said "no known houses which were built to re- quired elevation had water 'in- side.' , Commissioner Billy Traylpr received approval of the Board to make all the county's old garbage collection trailers available to haul off water damaged materials for -the flood victims. Traylor also suggested the Commission at- tempt to secure a federal disaster station in Gulf County to make it more convenient for victims to file for assistance. FEDERAL DISASTER AREA Chairman Warren Yeager re- ported Gulf County had been de- clared a disaster area because of the heavy flood damage, making victims eligible for low-interest assistance loans. Civil Defense Director Larry, Wells said he had preliminary contact with. Congressman Pete Peterson,: who, had informed him the claims office was being estab- lished in Blountstown. Ralph Rish of Preble-Rish En- gineers advised the Board he had been/ in contact .with Senator Connie Mack 'just before the meeting and Senator Mack said he would be 'in Gulf County Wednesday, to explore the possi- bility of establishing a. disaster assistance office in Wewahitchka.

Robert M. "Bob" Moore r I 300 Homes, 7-800 People Impacted By RisingWater Gulf County's flood victims began to experience Just a little bit of relief yesterday, according to Civil Defense director Larry Wells. 'The water started to re- cede from the Wewahitchka area Wednesday morning and from the Howard Creek area later in the day. It reached a height of a re- ported 27.4 feet--12.4 feet above flood level-covering everything in its path for a mile west of the Ho- ward Creek highway." Wells reported that the fig- ures released by state authorities on river readings at Blountstown, placed the flood waters .nearly a foot higher than the flood .of 1990, which reached 26.7 on the gauge at Blountstown. IMPACTED 700-800 WVells said the high water im-: pacted 700 to 800 citizens in Gulf County from the north county line through Howard Creek. Evac- uation efforts began Friday of last .week and continued through the night Sunday. with search and rescue teams going in after the last resisters to evacuation ad- vice. 'We had a little more than-.. 50%6 of the people who lived in the flood areas leave their homes for the safety of high ground." Wells said. 'The rest stayed' be- cause their homes would be above the rising waters and they wished to protect their property from damage or possible looting as much as they could." , ,.. O0LOQTING,,... ... .... Wells said there was only one instance of reported possible loot- ing from a flooding. residence. "Law enforcement did a fantastic job of keeping sight-seeing crowds away from the flooded areas and looters out completely.," ,Wells said. "Sightseers cause a lot of damage with wakes from their boats or vehicles, washing waves into homes as they pass by. We didn't allow these activities this time." Wells estimated that approxi- mately 300 homes or river camp houses were either surrounded by water or-had water inside the building. He pointed out that homes ,.which have been built since new county elevation re- quirements have gone into effect, :had very minimal damages from the'high water. MOVING BACK IN Wells said people from the higher levels of the flooded prop- erty can begin moving back in for their clean-up operations by Thursday afternoon [today], with even more homes available for re- entry daily. .The Civil Defense director said reports from the national weather headquarters say the flood waters will all be back in the river banks by approximately Saturday, July 23. "Be sure you watch for snakes and other animals on re- entering your property," said Wells. 'The snakes, fire ants, spi- ders 'and other poisonous var- mints are liable to be almost any- where. They' sought safety from the flood also, and they might give you an unwanted surprise. We haven't had any injuries thus far, so be careful not to have one now." STAR THE STAR PAGETWO THURSDAY, JULY 14,1994 Danger!! 4 .PORT ST. JOE HAS had annual fireworks displays for many years, how. We don't really know how many years, but'it has al- . most been long enough to become a tradition. People have come to expect.a, fine pyrotechnic show at the First Union Park on the shores of St. Joseph's Bay on the .Fourth. of July every year. -Why, we.suppose we wouldn't .even have to announce it in The Star and crowds of people would still gather around dark on the evening of July Fourth to witness the show. ... This tradition has failed 'to draw the first criticism in all these - years.' 'Nothing has been heard from its performance except praise and pleasure. THIS YEAR,. THE City Commission logged a half .dozen com- plaints from citizens Who didn't know what happened. They just the knew the fireworks this year weren't as good as previous years. The !Boonis!' were' farther apart. The shots didn't seem to9 go as high. 'Delay seemed to be the ordet of things rather than the occasional. Things weren't all enjoyment in the firing pits for the firemen this year. One fireman was slightly injured when a bomb burst prematurely, going off in his face. The fireworks .are placed in a six-inch pipe mortar to-shoot up into the air. The mortars are placed in the ground and fireworks dropped into them and lit. ONE OF' THOSE' mortars had its charge explode inside, blowing the welded bottom out of the mortar and a three foot hole in the ground. The firemen decided, then, that after all these problems: of premature exploding bombs, a fireman injured and a half dozen narrowly escaping injury, it was time to draw . the activity to'a close, which they did. The next day, the newspapers had' stories of malfunctioning fireworks in at least another half dozen towns in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Perhaps they all came from the same supplier [The City buys from the largest supplier of display fireworks in the southeast]. The firewVorks will be back next, year, keeping up the reputa- tion 'people have come to expect from past years. The city has filed a detailed letter of complaint with. the supplier about, their problem. It may happen again, but you can be sure it won't happen intentionally. No Water Shortage FLOODS AND THREATS OF FLOODS have stared the Pan- handle-yes, even the entire Chattahoochee River valley sys- tem-in .the face the past week or so. From, middle Georgia, southh and the Choctawhatchee River from central Alabama, Sthi-ough northwest Florida, has had rivers and tributaries raging '-out of control and wreaking havoc with homeowners and infra- structure in what were formerly considered flood safe areas. : 'On a personal note, our brother-in-law had a normally se- rene creek which borders his property and runs under the adja- cent 1-75, flood its banks, covering 1-75 and several acres of his. cattle pasture.

LAST YEAR, WE KEPT up with the devastation caused by ;the flooding Mississippi River for weeks. The same situation ex- isted. People's homes under water, dams broken, roads and rail- yroad tracks made useless and no drinking water readily availa- ble. Of all the disruptions caused by flood waters, the last one-, ,no drinking water--would seem to be the worst blow to man. $ Remember Desert Storm? How vital it was that each soldier 'consumne a certain amount of water each day in order to main- tain life and remain functional. 'Drinking water was' a real con-. cern to the forces in Saudi Arabia. We imagine it is just as much of a concern where floods have rendered.the water supply unsafe to drink. HERE IN GULF COUNTY we also had floods,, and as bad as they were, they weren't as bad as the other'floods in the south, including those in the. Panhandle. 'Gulf county people had suffi- ipient warning of coming, flood waters to remove their valuables and themselves from the path of uncontrollable water. Our disaster team met at noon last Thursday to make prep- arations to meet the rising water with the least possible incon- venience. We can be thankful for these people who offer their. time and.talents to make all natural disasters more bearable. 1 Hunker Down with Kes by Kesley Colbert From Edgar & Leon- To Dionne There used to be a man up, in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, that folks said could do extraordinary "things". His name was Edgar Cayce. He could, as the story goes, lay. down, go into a state of hypnot- ic sleep and tell you about upcom- ing events. Edgar Cayce referred to himself as a psychic. People would come from miles 'around to bring their sick children, parents, friends, etc. to Cayce for a "reading". He had no medical train- ing, he ran, as best I can remem- ber, a photography shop; yet, he'd "sleep on It" for a few minutes and pronounce a cure or at least'na course of action to help the in- formed one "provided his directions were followed .exactly as he had given them." Amazingly , Me and Yogi and Ricky Gene weren't but about ten or twelve when word got down to us about Edgar Cayce. 'We've got to check out this psychic stuff." 'Yes sir, can. you imagine knowing the future?" 'We would know if the Cardi- nals were going to win the National League Pennant." "We could find out in advance when our dads were going to whip us and be out of town." "Did you hear that when Edgar was our age, he couldn't spell a lick." .. We turned to look at Ricky Gene, you could tell he was dead serious. "So he takes his spelling book, lays it on his chest, 'sleeps , on it' for five' minutes, Wakes up and can spell every word in that book" We studied.on that for a while in silence. "Fellas, we've got to find us a psychic!" , "Did ya'll say you were looking for a psychic?" Big brother Leon. had strolled out on the back porch,' 'You're in almighty special, good fortune,"Leon, as usual didn t wait for an answer. "I just happen to be a psychic. Very few of us have the gift. I know all, see all, tell all. Who would like to be first?" Leon was a lot smarter than us, he did seem to know a lot.. .. "course, he was five years older and fresh out of the ninth grade. .. . He laid down on the top step and folded -his hands across his. stomach. "Give me just a few sec- onds to get into my futuristic, psy- chic,.see all, sleeping trance. ... . Leon drifted off. He got so still. His eyes slowly closed. "That's just the 'way Cayce does it!" - We turned to stare at Yogi. Didn't ,none of us know "how Cayce done it''. Or did we? It was eerie. I think it got dark and lightning might have flashed somewhere. "Leon?" I reached out and shook his arm. "Don't touch 'me, you nincom- poop, I'm in my hypnotic trance!" Dad gum It-my first ever psy- chic reading and already a faux pasl Yogi leaned over. "What do you see for me?" "Well."

Every once in a while I have to deposit the stress build-up in my life and there's no better place to. do it than Callaway Gardens. : Callaway Gardens is out in the country about .four miles. south of Pine Mountin, 'Georgia. Pine Mountain is a small hamlet, smaller in size'than Port St. Joe. They only'have two banks there while we have five here in Port St. 'Joe. You can, get a relative size from that comparison. But Pine Mountain is a pretty little country town. The railroad runs right down main street, With the portion of main street with Highway, 27 routed along' its path, on one side of the railroad and the other side of main street,' which is not co-existing with a highway, on the other side of the railroad. - ETAOIN SHRDLU By Wesley Ramsey . V d/ 1 _________ __ ! That situation makes for a wide' main street! There is a feed and garden store, a small print shop, a couple of small curio stores catering to tourists on one side and two banks, a cafe, a small furniture store, a dry goods and antique store on the other side, plus a couple of vacant buildings in the cluster, making up the main section of town. The rest of the town was like any other town; it was. sort of spread out, with the one grocery store at one end and a propane gas dealership at the other end. A couple of hound clogs meandered up the street. CALLAWAY GARDENS is out in the 'country from this town.' That's about as far from the mad- dening crowd as one could hope to get. We toured the whole thing Saturday. I didn't play-golf, ride horseback, swim at the man- made beach, or attend' the FSU Flying High circus, which spends the summer there, but we did everything else. You will note that I am not using the editorial "We" here. It is " a "we" used on purpose, because "we"' did all these things I am about to describe. Frenchie led the way and I followed along. We went to the Sibley Audi- torium which is in reality a.huge area with every kind of flower 'arcl plant growing you can imagine. The place is landscaped with a' waterfall, shady bowers, a gold- fish pond,. walking paths and places to rest and enjoy the scen- ery.. Frenchie went absolutely "ape" over the place because of her natural .propensity for all kinds of weeds which people call flowers. Actually, they were cultivat- ing a flowering weed Frenchie has been pulling Lip out of her flower beds and throwing away. She brought home a cutting. NEXT WE WENT to a large glass building which featured butterflies thousands of but- terflies! If you think that kind of dis- play won't start your pulse racing . you're right! But, I went along to quiet my stress factor and ease my ten- sions. A huge glass butterfly house will do that for you. I learned more than I really' wanted to know about butterflies; Show they grow; what they eat and . how; why they are so colorful. You think TV is bad they had unbridled and uncovered sex . in that butterfly house. Those butterflies were mating right out there in public, giving birth and all that jazz. Everyone in the house was caught up in the actions of but- terflies. One landed on the back of a little girl, standing near where I was and you would have thought she had struck gold! WE WENT FROM there to the chapel, to listen to the organ con- cert. A guy was presenting a two- hour concert on a Mohler pipe or- gan. I like good organ music, but luckily we arrived just 15 min- utes before that two hour concert was just finished. Don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable, but even something enjoyable can get tiresome after 'two hours. A, short stop was made at the .authentic pioneer homestead for a quick inspection. I saw the "bathroom" outside. It was a shelf nailed to the house, containing a clipper, a Water bucket and a wash basin. The one room downstairs was divided up into the sleeping and living area. The kids slept in the loft. AFTER ALL THESE "excit- ing" sights and involvement, I had indulged in just about all the ac- tivities I could digest in one day. My heart just can't take all that excitement. But, I enjoyed every minute of it! The next time my stress lev- el gets to running over, I think I'll go back! St. Joseph Bay Date Time. Ht. Time Ht.

If a lot of us men would take time to ana- lyze the difference, say, between our home and a hunting lodge that only men frequent, then we would know the profound difference. Most men, I've found, don't place the importance on cleanliness and home orderliness that most women do. Forlinstance, when a sink is full of dirty dishes; most men, when left to their own re- sources, will pass them by and use paper plates until a convenient time comes to wash the dishes.

Floyd resigned as the result of a- disagreement between he and Commissioner Billy Traylor, which climaxed jn harsh words- being directed at Floyd by Tray- lor, over three weeks ago. Traylor castigated Floyd for, in his judg- ment, failing to have important le- gal matters completed by an es- tablished deadline and vocally expressed his ire in harsh chas- tisement. Traylor has since apologized to Floyd, but Floyd has chosen' not to be re-instated by the Board because of continued differences expressed. As a result of Floyd's decision and Yeager's report that 'he was still adamant about his resigna- tion, the Board agreed to adver- tis6 for a replacement.

Moore.7 From Page 1L clation of Retarded Citizens and a County Chairman for the March of Dimes. Moore appreciates the many people in Gulf County, who over the years have called on him for assistance. At times it has seemed similar to the popular Ghostbuster's theme, "Who ya gonna call?" Trying to help those who called, without, regard to their financial ability or position has been Moore's approach,to 'le- gal representation. Moore states, "Being asked by someone for as- sistance is, in itself, a showing of confidence."'. Moore's pride and joy are his five children, two sons-in-law. and two grandchildren. All five children have graduated from col- lege; two form Florida State Uni- yersity, two form West Florida University and one .from South Florida University. Moore believes their success is a result of consis- tent discipline and compassion within the family environment. Moore advises. "It is in the family, at the earliest state, an individual must learn respect." S The CountyJudge's Job Is ex- tremely important, according to Moore, It is at that level many po- tentially' serious criminals -are first introduced to the justice sys- tem.

'By Judy Corbus, Multi- County Home Economics Extension Agent One of the biggest concerns during and after a flood is food and drinking water safety. Flood waters carry debris and bacteria which can spread disease and contaminate food and drinking water supplies. To reduce the risk. of illness during and after a flood. special guidelines for handling food arid water need to be fol- Jpwed. ... ,, Purify all water before using it for drinking, food preparation. dishwashing, or brushing teeth. Strain water containing sediment: or floating material through a' cloth before treating it. There are four methods for purifying water: *Boll water at a rolling boil for 10 minutes to kill .disease- causing bacteria. To improve the taste, add a pinch of salt to each quart of boiled water. *Use chlorine bleach. Household bleach is a good disin- fectant: however, check the label to make sure the active Ingredi- ent. sodium hypochlorite, is l 5.25%9. Do not use bleach which contains detergents. Mix bleach thoroughly Into the water. Let it stand for 30 min- utes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor. If it doesn't repeat the dose and let the water stand for an additional 15 min- utes. The amount of bleach to use per gallon of water depends upon the percentage of chlorine In the bleach. Use the following table as a guide: 1 percent chlorine--40 drops of bleach; 4 to 6 percent chlorine-8 drops of bleach: 7 to 10 percent chlorine-4 drops of bleach; Unknown-10 drops of bleach. Use iodine. You can use household iodine from the medi- cine chest or first aid kit. The io- dine should be 2 percent United States Pharmacopoeia (U.S.P.) strength. Add 20 drops per gallon of clear water and 40 drops per gal- lon of cloudy water. Seal the con- tainer and'let stand for 30 min- utes. The water supply will be safe for an indefinite period. Use water purification tab- lets. These are available at drug The Flood: Food & Water stores and camping supply de- partments of larger stores. Follow manufacturer's directions. Food contamination can be a major problem following a flood. Because flood waters, often carry silt, raw sewage, oil, or chemical wastes, foods coming in contact with flood waters are unsafe to eat. After a flood, thoroughly in- spect all food left in the house. If you are not sure about the safety of-a *food item, don't risk- dis- ease-throw it out! . THE FOLLOWING FOODS SHOULD BE DISCARDED: Opened containers and packages which have come in contact with flood waters. Unopened jars and bottles with paper waxy seals, such as mayonnaise or salad dressing. *Containers of spices. sea- sonings. and flavorings. *Flour. grains, sugars, and coffees in canisters or bags. *Paper, cloth, fiber, or card- board boxes. even if the contents seem dry. This includes salt. ce- reals. pasta. rice, and 'sealed' packages of crackers, cookies, or mixes within a larger paper box. *Dented seams, bulging or rusty, leaking tin cans, or cans which have been tossed about and are found far from their nor- -. mal storage spot. Seams on these cans may have been weakened or their seals broken. causing con- tamination or spoilage. *Jam or jelly sealed with par- affin. *Containers with non-sealed. fitted lids. such as cocoa or bak ing powder. *Commercially-bottled carbo- nated beverages. if the cap is crusted with silt: don t attempt to wash. since pressure in bottles may cause an explosion. *Foil or cellophane packages. *All fresh vegetables and fruits which do not have a peel. shell or coating which can be re- moved before use. such as leafy vegetables. *Fresh meat. fish and poultry which have been in contact with flood waters. *Home-canned foods. even if the jar seems tightly sealed. All cans and commercial glass jars that are free of rust, dents, bulges, and leaks must be washed and sanitized before they are opened. Remove labels and wash in a strong detergent solu- tion with a scrub brush. Remove Senate President Pat Thomas, D-Quincy, today appointed Rob- ert Nedley.

"Robert Nedley's ex- pertise In land use Issues, his ex- perience as president of a major industrial corporation, and his re- spect of the tax and regulatory burden placed upon the residents of our small counties make him a logical choice for this important office." Chuck Roberts, chairman of the Northwest Florida Water Man- agement District, praised Thom- as' appointment of Nedley. "Rob- ert Nedley is an excellent choice to serve on this important Com- mission. I have seen him demon- strate a genuine concern for the people of this area, and he under- stands that the protection of our water resources is critical to St. Joe's ability to produce their vari- ous products. I rest easy knowing our district will be well represent- ed on this commission." Nedley and his wife, Char- lotte, reside in Port St. Joe, where he has worked with St. Joe Paper Company since his graduation from Florida State University In 1961. He is presently chairman of the Port St. Joe Port Authority. member of the Port St. Joe-Gulf County Chamber of Commerce, member of the Gulf Pines Hospi- tal Advisory Board, and the Tri- Rivers Waterway Association. "I am truly honored by the confidence Senator Thomas has expressed in my ability by ap- pointment to this most important commission." commented Nedley. "I have assured him of my inter- est in the w of the people of this area, and will strive to prove worthy of this honor." Obituaries Jim C. Hanlon Jim C.

Immerse scrubbed con- tainers for 15 minutes in a cold (60 to 70F) chlorine solution. Again, the amount of bleach to add to the water depends on the percent chlorine it contains. The following table is a guide: 2 percent chlorine 2 table- spoons + 2 teaspoons bleach per gallon: 4 percent 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon per gallon; 5 per- cent 1 tablespoon per gallon; 6 percent 2 teaspoons per gallon. Remove containers from solu- tion. rinse in clean water and air- dry before opening. Re-label. if possible. Use as soon as possible. since containers may rust. Store containers where they will not be re-contaminated. Careful handling of food and drinking water during and after a flood will reduce the risk of food- borne illness and the spread of disease.

Early in the third quarter the Sharks tied the game at 44-44 and from that point on it was back and forth with neither team enjoying more than a five point lead. "Late in the game we went to our full-court pressure and Mia- mi turned it over and we were able to pull away and secure the victory," Eppinette said. "We had great efforts from all our young ,men and gained experience that no amount of money can buy. I was especially pleased with the growth of Chris Williams. Jer- maine Larry and C. J. Jones.

State Gives PSJHS $10,000 To Get College Students Ready 66 High Schools Bonus Funds to Tallahassee-Education Com- missioner Doug Jamerson an- nounced today that 66 Florida high schools have received a min- imum of $10,000 as recipients of the 1994 High School Academic *Achievement Incentive Awards. The 1,99? and 1994 Fleida Legis- latu-ires each appropriated $1 mil- lion for the incentive award pro- gram to reward, schools that increase the percentage of gradu- ates ready for college. Port St. Joe High School has received $10,000 from the special distribution of funds. 'These schools have shown that more of their gradu- ates are prepared for college-level work. decreasing the need for re- mediation once they enter col- lege," Jamerson said. 'This saves time and money for both students and tlie educational system." Graduates' readiness for col- lege is based on SAT, ACT or oth- er approved entry-level placement test scores of students who at- tend a public community college or state university.

The data used to calculate the Incentives were 1991-92 re- suits for 1991 graduates com- pared to 1992-93 results for 1992 graduates. Two categories of schools were used, one for schools with memberships under 1,000 students, and the other for schools with more than 1,000 students. Each school had to have a minimum of 30 high school graduates to participate in the program. Schools with less than 1.000 students had -to increase their percentage of graduates ready for college by one or more percentage points-those that did received $10,000. Schools with more than 1,000 students showing an in- crease received $17,000. The funds are to support Improve- merit plans that advance the postsecondary readiness goal of the Blueprint 2000 legislation. 'The Florida Legislature has shown its commitment and inter- est in improving college readiness by providing these funds," Jamer- son said. "But more importantly. through Blueprint 2000 they have made postsecondary readi- ness a goal for every high school in Florida."

Ed- 1. die NeSmith, of Apalachicola. a historian of this section of Flori- Changes In Panhandle da brought The Star this old man of the Panhandle of Florida. The map was printed.back in 1922, by the Rand-McNally Com- pany, before Gulf County was even formed out of Calhoun County. Notice the population figures printed under the name of eaclh'town printed on the map. Apalachicola was the largest town in the Panhandle in 1922, with the exception of Tallah'as- .see and Pensacola. Port St. Joe old timers say Apalachicola was the shopping center of the area back then, rather than Panama City, which wasn't as large as Apalachicola. Panama City had only 1,722 people in population then. Port St. Joe had only 1,510' people living here then. Wewahitchka had 247 and Dal- keith was a bustling 20 people. ACCORDING TO THE road legend printed on the margin of the map, there was only one piece of paved road in this entire pictured map of 1922. A section of Road "10" leading into and out of Perry was paved for about 10 miles in each direction, and a section between Perry and Fenholloway was paved. The re- mainder of the roads were either improvedd" dirt roads or just "improved" trails throughout the section.

Gleanings From My Garden Thank You, Mrs. Biggs.... 'The phone is for you. It's Margaret Biggs. Do you know a Margaret Biggs?" my wife asked with a puzzled look, on her face. "Do I know her?" I thought to myself. ."How do you forget someone like Mrs. Biggs?" Behind her back we used to call her "Big Red". She proba- bly knew this or else this writer may be in trouble as you read this. She taught high school English, speech and literature in St. Joe for nearly three generations. In the middle 70's, when I was one of her students, she was teaching the kids of some of her first students. She taught for several years after that. Mrs. Biggs called ~jtllgjm.e howrmuchi she enjoyed my col- umn and liow pr9ud she;was of me. Nothing could have meant, any more to me. This writer can write thanks in large part to the refinement of the mechanics of sentence structure and par- agraph organization Mrs. Biggs taught me in 12th grade Eng- lish. In the 11th grade, I had her for speech. I learned that clar- ity and brevity are next to godliness when it comes to speaking. From time to time, people say to me, 'You say so much in your sermons in such a short period of time." This is one of my fa- vorite comments about my preaching. And it always brings to,, mind images of Mrs. Biggs. She left an indelible impression upon me in many ways. I can still quote the lines of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales learned in the Old English she had us memorize. Also several 'lines from Shakespeare have stuck with me also. Mrs. Biggs opened many eyes to the wonderful world of great literature. She is also a woman of faith. She is unapologetically a Chris- tian. But she never was pushy about this, but neither did she try to hide the fact of her belief in God in the classroom. She was always a faithful and winsome witness., They have brought, one of Katherine Marshall's novels, Christy, to the TV screen. It is a pretty good show about com- mitted teacher in a backwoods, rural setting. They ought to make a movie about Mrs. Biggs. Folks from St. Joe and the far reaches of Oak Grove, Jones Homestead, Highland View,' and White City can attest to the lasting impact she had on so many. of us.

Lawton Chiles decided to not really take the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services out of the treatment of teenage crimi- nals business like many lawmakers intended when faced with clear signs of HRS ,ineptness-they set up a new Depdrtment of Juvenile Justice in the last session. Maybe it is a good thing. All us good conservatives hope so. . Chiles named Miami Police Chief Calvin Ross, 45, to head the hew agency and RossO picked Woodrow Harper, old chief of the juvenile justice program at HRS, as his number two man. Both are black professionals and good;rold'mbdels for teenage criminals who are often black without any role models (especially male) at home. Chiles passed 'over Circuit Judge Charles McClure, of Tallahassee, who showed a lot of leadership in getting at some of the root problems of juvenile crime while serving on the bench of the Second Judicial Circuit. He was the judge some of those juvie criminals HRS was.letting back out in the street in a matter of hours threatened to kill. He was also on the committees that gave lawmakers the most input in setting up the new juvenile-justice system and boot camps. McClure hails from the small North Florida town of Madison .and is a 'former U.S. .Marine. He would have been what you might call a white man 's answer to the juvenile crime problems and he was interested in the governor's appointment, although he wouldn't consider the number two spot. ) It's Just ,as well. Judge McClure can probable serve the state better as a-circuit judge than as some kind of a juvenile justice czar. At least that is how Gov. Chiles and the Black Legislative Caucus who have his S.ear saw it Chiles did send a message that the state intends to get tough on' juvenile crime when he appointed a tough cop like Ross. Not as tough a m; message, perhaps, as the appointment of a tough white Judge McClure, but at least a change from the'old inept do-gooders in the HRS.' 1The public-black, white, yellow, brown and purple-wants reasonable safety on their streets and in their homes and schools-period. Juvenile crime was and is really out-of-hand. Ross was probably right also in appointing Harper, a respected, expe- rienced hand in treating juvenile criminals to the second spot in the new agency. Just being tough alone is not enough. Sometimes, miracles hap- pen when you put kids in a situation, around adults worthy of respect where they know what to expect and can learn to respect the rest of the world and themselves. That Is true. The problem with it is that black activists often: insist the role models (like in this case) be black. Washington D.C. tried that in its police department and ended up with a rash of crimes being commit- ted by police officers. FAMILY VALUES:. Folk who snicker at family values or religion as public policy issues may be in for a rude awakening in the upcoming elections across the country and in Florida. Fifty-four percent of a poll taken by a 'consortium of big daily newspapers in Florida said they 'thought moral decay and family values were critical issues. Family values were viewed just below government waste and crime as 'Issues, but above health care and the environment. Moral issues were considered more critical than jobs, controlling growth, homelessness, special interests, race and ethnic relations, abortion, care for the elderly, welfare reform, taxes, prisons, water supply. roads and traffic. The News Round-Up The Florida Supreme Court knocked another controversial amend- ment proposal off the ballot last week on grounds it wouldn't do what it says it would do in a ruling sounding to some like a deathblow to the leading casino gambling initiative trying to get on the November ballot. The-thumbs-down ruling came on the'STOP (stop turning out prison- ers) petition calling for prisoners to serve at least 85 percent of their sen- -tences. It was .lcked by U. S. Sen. Connie Mack and state.Sen., Charlie Crisp, R-St. Petersburg, who said the public wanted to stop the early re- lease of prisoners and they would rewrite it and try again. . High court judges said the amendment contained so many loopholes the governor and cabinet could Ignore it if they wished. The court has al- ready this year struck down amendment proposals that would have taxed sugar 'to pay for a cleanup of the Everglades and banned anti- discrimination laws to protect gays. "I think they're trying to protect against the kind .of deception that's going on out there," said Stephen MacNamara, an attorney who says the leading and best financed casino Initiative by Proposition for Limited Ca- sinos Inc. would mislead voters as well and should be struck down by the high court too. MacNamara represents a No Casinos group that contends Limited Casinos' petition now under review by the court leads voters to believe it would limit casinos when, in fact, they are being authorized for the first time in Florida. Florida's seven Catholic bishops scattered across the state joined the Orlando-based Council of Churches, representing 27 denominations, and the Jacksonville-based Florida Baptist Convention last week in opposing' the five 'casino gambling proposals trying to get on the November ballot. 'There is historical and anecdotal evidence that casino gambling is accompanied by vice and social evils," said the statement signed by the. Catholic bishops. While gambling of itself is not morally wrong, it is when it interferes' with one's other duties, or responsibilities, the statement said in citing concerns for the impact on low-and-moderate income families, comtpul- sive.gamblers. neighborhoods, the homeless and public morality In gen- eral. .... . POLITICIANS' WELFARE: Jeb Bush is the only candidate that will npt be taking taxpayers'. money to run for governor this fall, because-his opponents' aides say-he has already collected more than anyone else in campaign pledges and doesn't need it; . Bush now has raised more than $3.8.million, (more than $1 million , in the last'three months), Gov. Lawton Chiles, author of'the campaign fund law that allows matching money in state dollars for candidates who accept contribution and campaign spending limits, is second in financing. with about $700,000 collected so far, about $425,000 of that in the quar- ter ending June 30. ', Commissioner Tom Gallagher was the surprise fund raiser who as a late candidate garnered some $644,000 in contributions within a month afletLe.his announcement. If he accepts public taxmoney, he will tip that total to more than $1.1 million, making up for his late entry into the ra cer : ... " Secretary qf State Jim Smith collected $405,000 in the quarter, ac- cording to his aides, retaining about $1. 1 million for his campaign war chest, while Sen. Arider Crenshaw came in fifth among the candidates with a total as of June 30 of about $300,000. Smith, Gallagher, and Crenshaw are expected to accept public fl- nancing of their campaigns, their aides say. Ken Connor, the least known and little financed so far Republican candidate from Tallahassee, has al- ready announced he will accept state matching money. Connor has allout $70,000 ini the bank and will qualify for about $490,000 in state matching money. Supporters of public financing led by Gov. -Chiles say'the fund limits the, amount of money poured into campaigns by special interests. In or- der, to qualify for the matching money, candidates must agreed to a $5 million campaign spending ceiling, confine the use 6f personal funds to $25,000Q and party donations to $25,000. It.will be a campaign issue. "At a time when violent criminals are being released early and teach- ers are paying for classroom supplies out of their own pockets, it is an in- suit to the public for politicians to take their tax dollars to fund their. campaigns," Bush said. "It's really a waste of public money and welfare for politicians," he said. ..* * IROSEWOOD: More than 300 relatives of residents who fled the black settlement of Rosewood in Levy County in1923 are expected to seek com- pensation from the, state, the Florida Attorney General's office said last week. State officials are also considering whether to expedite early pay- ments of $150,000 each to a handful of elderly survivors who escaped the racial violence that destroyed the community. 100 YEAR FLOOD: Georgia counties were hardest hit last -week by R what meteorologists were calling the worst flooding in 100 y6ars along the Flint and Chattahoochee 'Rivers brought on by a six day deluge from stalled tropical storm, Alberto. A death toll of 28, 31 counties declared disaster areas and tens of thousands of residents evacuated. This week heavier damages may be seen in the Florida Panhandle as those swollen Alabama and Georgia rivers flush on down to the Gulf of Mexico. Florida meteorologist Mike Rucker said waters reached their highest levels by the weekend since 1929, but there were no reports of deaths, a few thousand residents along the banks were evacuated and no looting. President Clinton declared Calhoun, Holmes, Washington and Walton counties as disaster areas. The Apalachicola River crested -at Blountstown at 28 feet (13 above flood-stage). The Choctawhatchee River crested at 26.5 feet, 14 feet above its banks. 'We got good warning. We're trying to stay ahead of it," said Rucker, a specialist with the Florida Division of Emergency Management. GOIN GOING? Although at least 10 influential boosters of Florida State University are asking for the ouster of Seminole Athletic Director Bob Goin. President Sandy D'Alemberte and Board of Regents Chancellor Charles Reed say they will take no action until they have the facts from an investigation by the state comptroller and the state ethics commis- sion. Accusations made against Goin in the wake of charges aired by Sports Illustrated magazines on NCAA rules violations by football players are: He paid nothing for roof work done at his home by a subcontractor working on FSU's $96 million football' stadium expansion. Goin paid nothing for the roof for months, but after the investigation began he paid $5,000 for the work investigators valued at $14,893. He used his high-level post to get his son a job with a contractor doing business with the FSU sports department. And he made costly trips on state airplanes, some suspiciously ap- pearing to mix pleasure with business.
