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.

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."

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.
PEOPLE OVER IN -Bonifay and Caryville have had their
homes inundated. Railroads have had tracks undermined and in
:more than oret place.*satrain-.has-, derailed 'because of under-
r'mnined tracks ; '. '- -., .', A ;
Drinking water has been a real problem in cities like Macon,
''where the main water treatment plant was completely covered
by flood waters, leaving a city of 150,000 without potable water
to drink. ..
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!"

chic reading and already a faux

A Visit to Callaway Gardens Good for a Weak Heart or Stress


FRENCHIE AND I took a
week end trip to.Callaway Gar-
dens during the holiday week
end, to ease -the stress and recu-
perate from the roller coaster life
of putting out .this newspaper.
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!

When the Cat's Away
Most men never realize the stability and conformity a woman's
presence adds to a home. 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. 'And that time is when we run out of
paper plates, saucers, salad bowls' and everything else that will hold
food: '
This phenomenon came to mind just this morning as my wife
left for a trip to the west coast to take a two week cruise. This is not
the first time she has left for extended periods of time and the living
conditions have been the same here at our home with us children.
left to our own resources, Below are a few of the things we do and
don't do 0When the lady of the house is away.
*We eatsa lot of fast-food, things like, sandwiches for breakfast,
SHardee's foe.lunch and soup for supper. Why waste time trying to
.cook when we- know nothing about, it except how to eat it when it's
cooked right. Pure waste.
*Wear underclothes for several days when we run.out of clean
ones. Who has time to put a load of clothes on, much less dry and
fold them? Even if one of us.did wash, dry and fold them, someone
would have to, carry them to.the respective rooms, or we would have
to run down to the laundry room each day to get a clean pair. I
can't remember anyone- dying of dirty underwear. '
*We don't have to put up groceries like we do when she's here.
The main reason .we don't is because we only buy what we need at
the' moment and when'we bring what we need in, we eat it immedi-
ately. Who has time for shopping?,
*We sleep a lot in front of the TV, leaving it on all night. Let's
face it, once you go to sleep watching TV, who feels like getting up,
taking a shower and going to bed? My chair.is just about as com-
fortable as our bed. anyway.
*We, never shave on weekends. With HER gone we don't fiave to
look, so. presentable arid go to parties and just about no onevisits
our home. Several times people did visit when she was gone, but
they never came back unless they called first and knew she was
here.'. :: .
*We are able ,to put off unnecessary things like brushing our
teeth on a regular basis, clipping our toenails and fingernails,
washing out the bathroom sinks and picking up wet: towels off.the
floor. Why do today what you can put off until the day before she
returns?
*A few other things we can do is eat leftover food that has been
In the refrigerator for a week or long (just warm it for a long time),
put dirty clothes under the bed when they'get so high we trip over
them. leave the breakfast sandwich scraps on the table and run the
dishwasher when all the plastic spoons and forks are gone.
Like it or not. men. women add substance and orderliness to
our lives. A home without a woman's touch is just a house! But
when the cat's away, the mice will play!

Board Deals From Page 1


with former county attorney Pat
Floyd about resuming his post.
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.
OTHER ACTIONS
In other matters to come be-
fore the Board, they took the fol-
lowing actions:
-Agreed to join with the City
of Port St. Joe in. construction of
a gazebo at Washington Recrea-
tion site, apon a request by Com-
missioner Nathan Peters.
-Agreed to begin the process
of preparation of a 1994-95 bud-
get on Tuesday, July 19, at 5:00
p.m.
-Advised Julian Hunter .they
would' further study a request
made by him to establish a militia
in the county.
-Agreed to look into a re-,
quest for recycling funds from the
City of Port St. Joe.

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. Properly handled at that lev-
el could result in many of these
Individuals not being involved in,
" ore serious criminal activities
and not establishing habitual
criminal behavior. Justice must
be sure and swift for the protec-,
tion of the community and for the
improvement of the individual be-
fore the court.
As your County Judge, Moore
pledges, "I will treat each and eve-
ry person with respect; but also, I
will require each person to show
respect toward others and toward
the community."

Disaster Area

Disaster Headquarters Opening
In Wewa Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
Gulf County was officially designated a federal disaster.
area yesterday, making flood victims eligible for low-
Interest loans, to help in their recovery from the disaster.
That brings to 11, the number of counties in Florida eli-
gible to receive the federal aid and assistance, following the
devastating flood which followed the appearance of Alberto
early in the month of July.
Civil Defense Director Larry Wells advised that any resi-
dent of Gulf County who has any need as a result of.the
flood, may apply for assistance at disaster headquarters at
flie Wewahitchka Community Center. Saturday at 2:00
p.m., cst.
Representatives from the Federal and State Emergency
Management Agencies will both be on hand at the same
site to take any requests or applications filed with them.
Also, applications will be taken for needs with food, wa-
ter, shelter, clothing or assistance of any kind, at the same
site and time.
OTHER EMERGENCY INFORMATION
The Red Cross will also continue to give assistance with
food and water until the emergency passes.. Both are avail-
able at the Emergency Center, Wewahitchka Elementary
School, in Wewahitchka or the necessities will be delivered
to those who are isolated by flood-waters, or delivered to
"the icheck-points at each flooded area. There is plenty of
food and fresh drinking water available for all who need it..
Food'is prepared three times daily; at 7:00, 12:00
noon and 5:00 p.m., cst, for distribution.
Shelter is also still being provided at the Wewahitchka
Elementary School, Linton site.
National Guard '"Water Buffaloes" havt been made
available to transport fresh water to the flood sites, where
anyone can get fresh drinking water. Recipients must bring
a container..
-Warnings have been issued not to drink water from
wells covered by the flood waters until it. has been ster-
ilized. There is a good chance the well contains con-
taminated water'which could be very harmful.
The Red Cross has a Health Department nurse on
duty at the flood site checkpoints to provide emergency
medical care and provide tetanus shots. Anyone who has
waded around in, or come in contact with the flood water,
should have a tetanus shot or booster.

After!

'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

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

said Thomas. "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."

.caring for patients who were involved in "life
threatening" injuries. He then moved to Jacksonville,
Florida, where he gained much experience in the

- last ten years, Larry has worked mainly in Family
Practice, putting to use his wide variety of skills. Larry

the half. Coach Eppinette said,
"We really played a decent first'
-half but missed a lot of open
shots. We talked at half-time
about maintaining our compo-
sure and not rushing our shots."
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.
Damon Walker really stepped up
his game in the second half and
we got solid efforts from Chad
Quinn, John Bryant. Doyle Cros-
by, Robert Williams, Brian Jen-


kins and Barry Adkison."
Des Baxter was named the
tournament MVP' and 'Chad
Quinn was selected to the All-
Tournament team. The Sharks

Judge Taunton has made it known that he is retiring this year
after serving for twenty years as Gulf County Judge. I will be a
candidate for the vacancy left by his retirement.

Official qualifying begins next Monday, July 18. Between then
and the election in September, I will be visiting with as many of
you. as possible, giving you the opportunity to get to know me-and
my background, my work experience and the principles in which I
believe. In turn, I ask that you give me the opportunity to visit
with you, listen to your concerns and answer any questions you
may have about me and my vision for the future of the County
Court in Gulf County.

Many of*you have already expressed an interest in my
candidacy by signing petitions to have my name placed on the
ballot. The response I received during that effort was gratifying
and encouraging. Thank you for your help. This, however, is only
the beginning. Your vote in September, as well as your support
and encouragement until then, are important to me. I will continue
to work hard to earn your-vote.

I look forward to seeing each of you in the days ahead.

Give Yourself The

How do other people
see you when you open
your mouth to speak or
smile? For that matter, how
do you look when your
mouth is closed? To find
out, give yourself the mirror
test. Study your expressions,
and take a close look at
the. appearance of your-
hopefully--pearly whites.
Are your teeth out of
alignment? Are there gaps
that show from missing
teeth? Do you have any
discolored teeth or unat-
. tractive fillings? All other
conditions can be correct-.
ed and improved. If there's
a problem with your gums,
they can be made healthi-'

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. Students who

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

AShows Extent of'
ARE YOU A MAP buff? If you are, you'll enjoy this one. 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.
Note the steamboat routes, shown by dotted lines in the Gulf
between Panama City and Carrabelle. The dots which trickle out
of the picture at left extend over to Pensacola.
The Dead Lakes are identified as the "Chipola Lake". We're
not sure when it came to be known as :'Dead Lakes". The Chipo-
la Cut-off, between the Apalachicola and Chipola Rivers, at We-
wahitchka, is not even shown on the map. The Intracoastal Wa-
terway is also not shown.

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-

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.

ROUND-UP
by Jack Harper


Gov. 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.
