Blizzard Which Shut Down Eastern Half of Nation Makes Itself Known in Gulf County As Well


The coldest weather in several years to hit
the Gulf Coast came blowing in with the worst
blizzard in nearly 70 years to hit the eastern
portion of the United States Sunday and Mon-
day, leaving shivering citizens and killed vege-
tation in its path.
Port St. Joe had its share, but not nearly as
severe as the cold weather which inflicted a
knock-out blow on Gulf County in 1989 when
the mercury dipped to 15 degrees and stayed
there for several days, freezing everything it

touched.
This time, forecasts predicted a low of
around nine degrees, which would have set a
record and caused severe damage to the Port
St. Joe area, as it did in '89. Temperatures
were recorded only down to 21 degrees at 7:30
Tuesday morning at the Wastewater Treatment
Plant. Lynn Todd, chief chemist at the plant.
said the temperature didn't get as low as ex-
pected, 'But it was cold enough," she ex-
claimed. 'The mercury never got above 40 de-
grees all day Monday after a low that morning
of 26."
Although readings were well below freezing
at least three mornings, the thing which nipped
the noses of people in Gulf County were the
high winds which dropped the wind-chill factor
to near zero.
The rains Saturday afternoon failed to ar-
rive at the same time as the cold front, denying
us the probability of a snowfall.
PLE*NY OF HEAT
Tom Knox of St. Joe Natural Gas Company
said that despite the heavy demand for natural
gas all over the eastern portion of the United
States, Gulf County was never threatened with
diminishing supplies of the fuel.
"You know several years ago, we were
forced to shut down a while during that severe
weather, but we found out later it was because
of a frozen regulator, rather than a shortage of
gas supplies. We have since replaced the water-
operated regulators with alcohol-operated de-
vices and didn't have that problem this year."
Florida Power Corporation said the arctic
blast of cold air caused an energy demand on
their system of 8.086 megawatts Monday .at
8:00 a.m., setting an all time record pf demand
for power on the system. The utility had reserve
margins of about 1,000 megawatts to meet any
further demands on Tuesday, when they pre-
dicted the demand to increase to over 9,000
megawatts.
The Corporation has a generating capacity
of 8,500 megawatts from more than 50 generat-
i n g u n is ,r -.. .. p u-' r-: -1 . .. . .. .
WEATHER TOUCHES PORT ST. JOE
In spite of the warmer-than-expected blast
of winter air here in Port St. Joe, effects from
the cold weather still inconvenienced several
families and delayed 44 students' return to
classes after the holiday taken by the school
system.
A group of some 44 youth and eight adults
were still marooned on a West Virginia moun-
tain, where they had gone for a skiing holiday
during the New Year holiday.
The youth trip, arranged by the First Bap-
tist Church, had chartered a bus and taken the


i"Don't Sit on Mel"

long week end to travel to Snowshoe Ski Resort
in the Monongahela National Forest in the Yew
Mountains of east central West Virginia.
They experienced 31" of snowfall Sunday
and the snow was still coming down on Mon-
day. All of this was on top of the substantial
amount they had already experienced. The
group was to have been home around midnight
Sunday, but by Monday, they still couldn't.


Tuesday morning, the group managed to
get on the road about 8:00 a.m. after the roads
had been cleared momentarily. Katrina Ethe-
ridge, secretary at the church, told The Star
Tuesday. 'They had to leave in a hurry as they

were expecting another snowstorm by Tuesday
afternoon, and wanted to get out of West Vir-
ginia before it hit," she said.
But, by and large, Gulf County fared pretty
well in the great blizzard of 1996.

Three Hours of Freedom


Board Clamps Down on Tobacco Usage


Gulf County Judge Bob
Moore received unanimous sup-
port from the Gulf County
Commission Tuesday evening
during its regular meeting when
he requested the board adopt an
ordinance prohibiting the use and
possession oftqbacco products by
children, 18 years of age and
younger.
S Moore presented the board
With a sample, ordinance, similar
,to' Duval County's tobacco ordi-
nance, and several copies of arti-
cles which pointed out the haz-


yards and fears of tobacco usage,
especially among school-age chil-
dren.
"Some of the best selling
tobacco products .are the ones
with the highest content of nico-
tine and cancer :causing chemi-
cals, according to one of the arti-
cles," Moore told the board.
It's currently illegal for mer-
chants to sell tobacco products to
minors, but it is not against the
law for a minor to possess or use
the products including'cigarettes,
loose tobacco, snuff, and other


kinds of tobacco.
The commissioners wasted
little time in voicing their support:
for the ordinance proposal.
Commissioner Nathan Peters. Jr.
followed Judge Moore's presenta-
tion with an immediate recom-
mendation that the board review
the ordinance and proceed with
the necessary steps to' pass it.
Commissioner Michael Hammond,
gave a second to the motion by
Peters.
Board ChairmanrBilly Traylor.
stated this board has always sup-


Sported a tobacco free environ-
ment, recalling 1983 when the
board voted to make the county
courthouse a no-smoking area.
S Along those same lines,
Commissioner Peters brought to
the group's attention a memo sent.
by him to the Road Department,
Mosquito Control and
Maintenance Department remind-
ing them of the board's decision
(See CLAMPS DOWN on Page 3)


A five-houi unauthorized jog
for a Gulf Forestry inmate landed
25-year-old Scott Hall back be-
hind bars, charged with escape.
Scott, who was working on a
worklcrew at the Highland View
Elementary School, left Monday
morning around 8:00.
After he was found missing,
Gulf County Sheriffs officers re-
sponded, with Scott having about
an hour head start. Tracking
dogs from Gulf Correction and
Calhoun Correction Institutes as
well as deputies, and correctional
officers from Gulf Correction In-
stitute and Gulf Forestry tracked


Scott for about three hours.
Tracking dogs and their handlers
were able to track Scott through
miles of wooded swampy area, as
well as dirt roads. Scott was spot-
ted by officers and disappeared in
a woodedarea.
The Bay County Sheriffs Of-
fice helicopter, which was on the
scene, was able to spot Scott try-.
ing to hide in the wooded area.
Sheriff McKeithen said with
the cooperation and assistance
from all agencies involved, "Hou-
dini couldn't have got away to-
day."


Decision Time For Marina Site

Motions Set To Examine Offers From Three Private Owners


With their first meeting of the
new year postponed by a week,
the City Commission took care of
three significant items of busi-
ness Tuesday, in addition to hav-
ing a few street problems brought
to their attention by Commission-
er Johnny Linton.
With the Commission being
involved in the proposed marina
project which received grant mon-
ey from the state and federal gov-
ernments during the final quarter
of last year, the Board is taking
steps to get the project underway,
with the selection of a place to
put it.
Three prospective property
owners have been contacted for
negotiations to purchase a site.
Raffield Fisheries has offered a
portion of their property and
buildings for the installation, but
a choice between several sights


must be made, according to the
guidelines of the grant approval.
Attorney William J. Rish told
the Board Tuesday night he has
arranged a conference with the
Commission and three .property
owners-including Raffield-for
next Wednesday at 10:00 a.m., to
receive and discuss any potential
offers to sell or make property
available for the installation.
Rish said he has received
stumbling blocks for the marina
project to hurdle from the Corps
of Engineers, which maintains a
shipping channel in the body of
water in front of all three poten-
tial locations in the Gulf County
Canal, but Rish said he had con-
tacted several authorities with
the CofE and thought that obsta-
cle had been removed or at least
diminished.


ASK FOR DUMP SITE
A group of RV and motor
home owners in the City ap-
proached the Commission Tues-
day night and asked that a spot
be made available for them to
dump their septic holding tanks
into the city sewer.
"It's not only for us, but for
the number of people who come
here each year and have no dump
site except in the state park out
on the peninsula," Ed Frank
McFarland told the Board.
'That would be a good thing
for the City to provide," Mayor
Frank Pate said. "Our superinten-
dent of public works is at a meet-
ing tonight, but we'll take the
matter up with him and see
where the most convenient place
might be to provide the dump
(See DECISION on Page 3)


Interruption
Superintendent of public works Frank
Healey and city inspector Al Ray study a
break in a major water pipe Thursday after-
noon, which caused water to be cut off in a


large portion of the city. The break occurred
when workmen were tying the new Prebble-
Rish building on Reid Avenue to the system
and broke a major main in the process. Wa-
ter service was cut off for about an hour
while the break was being repaired.

Wanderlust

HAZEL OLEARY MUST think she is above criticism or cor-
rection for her actions. The Secretary of Energy has been catch-
ing "heck" from all sides for the past few months from her gad-
ding about the world-side, spending tons of tax-payers' money
on frills in the process. Basing our comments on what we read
in the papers, the secretary has ruffled some high-powered
feathers with her spending and travel habits.
Seventy-seven House members have gone on record-placed
their names on the dotted line-as officially calling for her resig-
nation. That's a lot of outrage in a Congress which seems to be
immune to expenditures of large sums of money or needless jun-
kets all over the planet.
NEWT GINGRICH AND Rush Limbaugh have put meaning-
ful dialogue to the explanation of the Secretary's wastefulness.
Gingrich succinctly expressed his outrage when he said: "She
should either resign today or be fired by the administration, but
there is no excuse for the secretary of energy to be there."
We agree with Newt!
She has made 19 trips-recently, this year-to places such
as India, China, Pakistan and South Africa all for the claimed
purpose of helping U. S. business and trade. The only thing
these nations can do is take .., for free! We have enough busi-
ness dealings already with countries like these.
Not one of these trips left us much change out of a million
dollar bill. That's expensive travelling.
THIS MATTER: COULDN'T have come at a more opportune
time to get public attention and outrage, What with the Con-
gress and Administration bickering over how to cut the budget
and balance it, the public has had enough of the useless spend-
ing tactics of all government agencies.
Former Senate sage Everitt Dirksen once quipped, 'You
spend a couple billion here and a couple billion there and pretty
soon you are talking about real money!"
Even in government circles a COUPLE of useless dollars
spent here and a COUPLE of useless dollars spent there IS.
real money to the poor slob having to foot the bill. Most would
shout, "Stay home, Hazell"
WHAT GOT THE Energy Secretary into trouble was that she
failed to produce receipts for $255,000 of her expenditures. Con-
sidering the cost of her ventures abroad, this is pocket change!
And what American pocket wouldn't be helped with this kind of
change in it?
Information we have seen on the CBS Evening News and
read recently in the newspapers, identify these trips and expen-
ditures as only a minor share of the whole. NBC Evening News
calls it 'The Fleecing of America". We think it might more accu-
rately be termed, 'The Shearing of America".



Person of the Year
IT'S GETTING CLOSE to that time of year when the Cham-
ber of Commerce begins making plans for the details which will
be a part of their annual banquet, annual report and installation
of a rgy slate of officers. ,, ..
Along with these activities comes the selection of the "Person
of the Year" who will be recognized for their accomplishments of
a public nature, during the past year. Just who has been the
most active. Who has accomplished more for his/her community
and deserves recognition for it?
IT'S A HARD SELECTION to make each and every year.
There are so many of our citizens who have been real drivers in
Port St. Joe and Gulf County business, political and social life.
It isn't an easy choice to make, but the Chamber honors at
least one of those who deserve it every year in what is probably
one of the more important activities they undertake.
Each year [save, possibly for one] they manage to come up
with a worthy subject to give their award to. It is a coveted
award, not to be given or taken frivolously.
EVERYONE IN THE county is eligible to receive the award
and everyone in the county has an opportunity to join in the se-
lection of the deserving person,
Start giving the matter some serious thought. Who would
you like to see receive the award? Write down the name of that
person and give a reason why you think so positively about your
choice, then mail your selection to the Chamber office. The ones
making the final selection from the choices you present might
just agree with you or be persuaded by your reasons to make
the same selection you did.

Hunker Down with Kes


That's Ina


Boy howdy, I tell you, I near
'bout had a terrible Christmas,
Miss Ina didn't have but one
small piece of fruitcake left when
I got over there. You talk about a
tragedy!
I knew it was going to be bad
when I saw that news report on
CNN back in September from Arlo
MacA'bee's pecan farm down in
Hazlehurst, Georgia. "Worst


pea'can' crop ever seen in these
parts," Mrs. McA'bee blurted into
the camera, "least ways. It's the
worst I can recollect in my seven-
ty-three years."
Well, maybe they'll have a
bumper crop over in Alabam-
"It ain't no better in Ala-
bama," Mr. MacA'bee read my
mind, "and it's the same in Mis-
sissippi and out in Texas. There
just ain't any pea cans'I"
The young CNN reporter's
smooth, polished voice was stark
contrast to the old pecan farmer's
as she threw us back to Atlanta
with a closing comment, "There's
one thing that appears certain


Petrosky, 5
from here in Hazlehurst, pecan
pie lovers across America will be

been eating them all my life. I can

tally dissect one of Miss Ina's
fruitcakes. Her separate parts of
flour, sugar, eggs, candied fruit,
pecans, etc., are certainly not un-
known-I think it's the way she
assembles them that puts her
head and shoulders above the
rest. You've go to know when and
how much to blend on low speed
for one minute .... and when
to beat like crazy on high for
three. Plus, she is smart enough'
not to put in any of that light-

colored green stuff. Listen. those
little light green chunks have
ruined many 'a fruitcake.
And Miss Ina, bless her
heart, doesn't spare the pecans.
She understands the first rule of
fruitcake making-you can get by
without the pitted dates and the
candied citron, but if you ain't got
loads of pecans-well, just boil
some doughnuts for the group ..
S. ."I'm sorry Kesley, but this is
all I have. I just couldn't get any
good pecans this year."
I wolfed down that one little
piece before I got back to the
house. My Christmas had been
eaten up by a he
rd of those, pecan munching
boll weevils back in September.
A couple of days after Christ-
mas. Miss Ina called, "Kesley, I've
got your fruitcake."
And the Lord shall provide .
seems her sister, her cousin,
a good friend-somebody had
sent her a. sack of pecans. It
might have been Arlo MacA'bee's
wife, I don't know and I didn't
care.
I had my fruitcake!
I gingerly unwrapped it and
took a big ole bite right out of one
side. "Hey, Dad," Josh came in,
"can I have a piece?"
I Just laughed. Being the
Daddy is a tough job. Dad's have
to make so many tough calls
about family matters-moniey de-
cisions, how late can the boys
stay out, when do you buy them
a car, how much and when to let
them "grow a little", which col-
lege-it can be lonely at thetop.
But, every once in a while it can
be soooo much fun to be the head
dog. "Get your own cake, this one
is minel"
Jesse was only a few minutes
behind him, "Dad, how 'bout
cutting me a piece."
I laughed ever harder,
Their mother strolled
through. "Honey, that cake looks
good.". 1 .
I kind 'a covered it with my
hands so she couldn't get a
pinch.
Now, I know what you're
thinking. What about share and
share alike? And is it not more
blessed to give than to receive?
Listen, the guy that wrote these
sayings was 'Just talking about
money, clothes, Jewelry, your
house-little stuff like that. Heck,
I share those things with most
everybody, everyday: The afore-
mentioned rules don't apply to
Miss Ina's fruitcake!
My mother, who was 'visiting
for the holidays, looked up over
her reading, "Son, I believe I'll
have a little piece of. that fruit-
cake."
I stopped laughing. The only
person in the world who I
wouldn't say no to! I cut a micro-
thin sliver... .. since Mom re-
tired from the sawmill her appe-
tite has waned and naturally I'm
concerned about her fat intake
and her cholesterol.....

Losing Football Bets Is Hard On Someone Who Hates To Spend Money


GAMBLING IS AN exercise in
which a fool and his money are
soon parted. Some people seem to
rush td give away their money,
making foolish bets. The roads
are hot to Biloxl, Las Vegas, At-
lantic City and other places eager
to take your money and give
nothing in return.
Only the other day did I hear
of the tables being turned. Oh,
nobody beat the gambling house.
There wasn't an over-abundance
of winners; as matter of fact, I
didn't hear any reports of any ex-
traordinary pay-offs.
A gambling house in New Or-
leans-open for only a short
while-was closed because it was
losing money. I suppose there
were too many offers of free travel
to the house to lose your money,
or too many free hotel rooms giv-
en to high rollers, or other entice-
ments to get the gamblers to
come drop their money.
New Orleans had a terrific
fight last year to legalize gambling


and one of the winners has al-
ready gone belly up.

THAT'S THE WAY with gam-
bling, nobody but the gangster
element wins.
Around here, we have what
you would call petty gamblers.
I'm not talking about the Florida
Lottery players, although it is a
case in point in which there are
few winners. Chances are better
that you would get struck by
lightning than to win the Florida
Lottery. Not even the schools-
\ the stated beneficiary of the Flori-
da Lottery-win. If you can't win
with it already declared that you


will, then nobody's going to winl

AROUND HERE, our serious
petty gamblers bet on the out-
come of football games, particu-
larly University of Florida Gator
and FSU Seminoles football
games. Some bets are considered
foolish or even emotional. A wa-
ger on the outcomes of games in-
volving these two teams is highly
prejudiced!
I have even heard of people-
local people-betting money on
these two teams.
People allow their emotions to
come into play when they bet [or
should we say, "wager"] on one of


these two teams.
Then there are the two of
three people who will only give
out with the loud talk or exagger-
ated claims for the University of
Miami, like Dave Fernandez and
Johnny Linton. Not a penny is
put on the table, but there is an
abundance of Monday morning
quarterbacking which goes on
with these two.
Then are those who will really
lay their loyalty on the line.
That's what they are doing; bet-
ting 'loyalty' not team ability, al-
though in both cases it has been
more than adequate this season.

I AM WITNESS TO one of
these 'loyalty' bets ... or should I
say two of this type bets.
Just before the FSU- UofF
game this year-about two weeks
prior, if my memory serves me
correctly-Frenchie and I decided
one Thursday night to go out to
eat. We went to Butler's this par-


ticular night, and there in the
restaurant sat Harry Lee Smith
and Jim Roberts. Jim had that
'predator' look on his face and
Harry Lee had that pained look
he always has when something is
going to cost him money.
We sat down at a table near
them and Jim started bragging.
"Harry Lee is going to have to
buy my supper to pay off last
year's bet he made me on THE
game. FSU whipped the Gators
last/year and I'm Just getting
around to collecting," he an-
nounced to everyone in the room
who would listen.
Jim said, no matter what it
was, he was going to order the
most expensive thing on the
menu. Then he was going to get
the most expensive dessert. "I've
been starving myself for two days,
getting in shape for this meal,"
Jim crowed.

THEN, THURSDAY night just


past, we went to Gulf Sands to
have supper with Joyce Britt,
only to come upon Harry Lee pay-
ing yet another football bet.
For someone who hates to
spend money as much as Harry
Lee does, he is making a lot of
foolish emotional bets. He bet
Norma Hobbs the Gators would
whip Nebraska in the Fiesta
Bowl.
Well, by now the whole world
knows how that one came out;
Norma won the bet and Harry Lee
was being forced into buying Nor-
ma her supper. She wasn't being
frugal with her ordering, either.
She let old Harry Lee know he
had lost a bet
Harry Lee ate soda crackers
and drank water. As we left I
stopped at the table to chat and
elicited a promise from Harry Lee
that the next time he wanted to
bet on the Gator's performance, it
was my turn to bet him. I could
stand a free supper

The dispute originated after
county maintenance and mosqui-
to control employees were given a
half day off by their supervisors
during the Thanksgiving holidays
that the road department employ-
ees didn't receive. This prompted
the filing of a grievance on
November 30 by road department
employees.
Greg Pickeron, addressed the'
board stating that the grievance
was filed because they didn't feel
it was right for them to work a full
eight hours on the day in question
while other county employees
only had to work a half day.
Pickeron said the grievance
was handed to Acting Supervisor
Bobby Knee.. who contacted
Commissioner Armstrong and
offered to settle the grievance that
same, day. ,Knee proposed that
the road department employees
be given an extra 1 1/2 days off
during the scheduled Christmas
holidays.
Chairman Traylor told
; Pickeron -that what the. board.
does as a whole supercedes what
any one individual commissioner
might do. He added the board had
met on the matter and, as a
group, decided the extra half day
would be given to the road depart-
ment employees, not 1 1/2 days,
and that Knee and Chief
Administrator Don Butler had
notified road department employ-
ees, both verbally and in writing
of the board's decision.
Commissioner Hammond
spoke up stating. 'You're not com-
ing to work was a protest of the
board's actions." He added the

Building Activity


Takes A Hike


Upwards In '95
Permits for new structures, homes and commercial
buildings, took a dramatic leap upward in 1995, accord-
ing to information from the office of Richard Combs,
Gulf County Building Inspector.
Combs' records show a dramatic increase of 18 new
structures and rehabilitation to 60 structures more than
last fiscal year. The County had a total of 101 permits
for totally new construction and 246 permits for renova-
tions and remodeling.
The figures are a big increase over the previous year,
when only 83 new structures were built and 186 renovat-
ed.
The value of new construction took a hefty increase
also by nearly $2 million for new construction and expe-
rienced, a slight drop of $150,000, in remodeling. The
year 1995 saw some $6,853,234 worth of new construc-
tion permits issued by the Department and $1,360,188
worth of remodeling permits. The remodeling value was
down slightly, but the number of individual Jobs in-
creased by 60.
MOBILE HOMES STILL POPULAR
Mobile homes in the county continue to be popular
with 124 new homes permitted for the county. This
number remained nearly constant, with 122 being per-
mitted in 1994 and 121 in 1993.
The Department issued a total of 1,353 permits, col-
lecting $113,751 in fees during the year. This also was a
hefty increase over the previous year, when 952 permits
were issued, valued at $87,170.

THANK YOU TO MY MANY FRIENDS!
As the New Year begins, I want to say
"Thank You" to so many of you that have been
so really great to me with your kindness and
kind thoughts.
The-pesifew years have been most chal-
lenging to me in my effons to successfully
complete-some 'unfinished" projects. including
the litigation events which are sill *on going".
In response to the most recent event, yes.
the boat in the Wewa bank lot is the boat I
used in the bay with the "C-Lecror"" snnmp-
ing roller frames.
Public bids are being sought by the bank to
repay a note. The boat is deserving of your
bid, and I would consider permitting the new
owner "rights" to duplicate the design protect-
ed by a patent grant I own.
My New Year has started with the usual
"fast" pace of events, so typical to my world.
but, with tnends like all ol you-I can, and will
succeed. My thanks-to you all, and I wish
everyone a tenific year.

Heiden Tells Rotarians


About W.I.C. Program


Jean Van Heiden told the Ro-
tary Club about the WIC program
last Thursday at their regular
meeting. The WIC program is an-
other government program de-
signed to help children get a
proper start in life: this time, a
proper nutritional start.
"Almost everyone with chil-
dren, age five or under, or expect-
ing a baby, are eligible for the
WIC program," the speaker said.
Ms. Vann Helden is in charge"
of the WIC program in Gulf
County. She said that in spite of
the number of people eligible to
participate in the program, they
are serving only 279 people in
Gulf County.
,.The _WICprogranLis, unique-..
It provides vouchers to. purchase
nutritional food for young chil-
dren or pregnant mothers who
are part of a family consisting of
four or less with an income of un-
der $28,000 a year.
These vouchers are exchang-
able at approved grocery stores-
In Port St. Joe, all three are ap-
proved vendors of WIC foodstuffs-
-for things like milk, cheese, cer-
tain dried lintels, baby food, pea-
nut butter, cereals and baby for-
mula.
The speaker said nutrition-
ists have found that a child
doesn't develop properly, physi-
cally, unless he receives proper
nutrition and this is what the
WIC program has been developed
to provide.
People can get enrolled in the
WIC program through application
to the Health Department and'af-
ter being examined and recom-
mended by HRS, a registered
nurse or a dietician. Usually the
program works hand in hand
with the food stamp program.
Ms. Van Heiden said she felt
like more than 279 of Gulf
County's 13,000-plus people
should be taking advantage of
this important nutritional start
for young children.
Guests of the club were Bob
Bolduc of Montague-Whitehall,


Michigan. C. B. Mansel of Ros-
well, Ga., and Austin Horton of'
Port St. Joe.

PSJ 81, SHANKS 69
Christmas gift!
The Sharks returned to the
cage wars after the Christmas
holidays, only to receive a belated
Christmas present. While they
were enjoying the holiday vaca-
tion with practice sessions, the
Florida High School Athletic Asso-
ciation had moved them up to
number one position in Florida
Class 3A basketball after main-
taining a number two position for
the first half of the season.
The Sharks are the only
ranked team in any division in
Florida which has' an undefeated
record thus far into the season.
Tuesday night they showed
the mettle which earned them the
number one slot by dumping a
perrennially powerful Quincy
Shanks quintette 81-69.
Using a strong third quarter
and the double figure scoring of
five members of the team, the
squad methodically picked the
Quincy defense apart and stifled
the offense to win their 16th
straight win..
Jenmaine Larry and Chad
Quinn led the pack with their 14
points each, followed by all-state
Des Baxter and Brian Jenkins,
each with 13. Doyle Crosby
rounded out the high-scoring five
by adding 10 points. '
Head .coach Vern Epplnette
had praises for Cameron Likely.
Barry Adkison and Tyson Pitt-,
man, who came off the bench 't
put the spark into the decisive
third quarter by playing great de-
fense. 'We needed that!" the
coach said.
The Sharks led by a slim 42-
40 margin at half time after being
behind the first quarter for the
only period in the game.
Score by Quarters:
Shanks 22 18 11 18-66

Getting Rid of

Yellow Stains


If you have a youngster
with yellow stains on his
teeth, this condition may
have been caused by a tetra-
cycline antibiotic or otqer
medication prescribed for an
illness. The tetracycline fami-
ly of drugs is known to some-
times cause staining in chil-
dren's teeth. The resulting
stain may be yellow, yellow-
ish-gray, or gray-browni. Even
though the stain is perma-
nent, it doesn't have to stay
on the teeth. Your dentist has
a good "cover up" technique
that can restore that affected
teeth to their natural 6olor.
One of his options is to use a
resin material or opaque ve-


neer that can be. applied to
the surface of the teeth to
hide the stain. The color of
the veneer will be selected to
match the natural.color of the
child's teeth.
There may be other op-
tions that your dentist will
suggest. The important thing
to keep in mind is that un-
sightly stains do not have to
stay on anyone's teeth,
whether they are a child or an
adult.

Prepared as a public ser-
vice to promote better dental
health. From the office of

It Doesn't Take a Lot of Room to Grow a Generous Supply of Veggies

A Few Tips-If Followed--On Mini-Gardens Will Produce Delicious and Satisfying Crops Of a Variety of Foods With a Variety of Methods


Vegetable gardening is more
popular today than ever before.
We usually discuss this subject
as the backyard garden. However,
that isn't always fair to the grow-
ing number of Florldians who live
in mobile home parks, apart-
ments, and condominiums where
there's little or no backyard to be
had.
Just because you don't have
a big yard with lots of room,
doesn't mean you can't grow veg-
etables. In fact, you can enjoy
working with a strawberry barrel

or a half-dozen tomato plants as
much as any backyard garden.
My information about mini-
gardens was provided by Exten-
sion VegetAble Specialist, Mr. Jim
Stephens.
In addition to being an enjoy-
able activity, mini-gardening is
both practical and ornamental.
Most containers will fit almost
anywhere -in the landscape, on
patios, porches and balconies,
even rooftops.
Depending on the type of veg-
etables you plan to grow, there's
practically no limit to the kinds of
containers you can use, pots and,
pans, milk jugs, hollow concrete
blocks, bushel baskets, trash
cans, barrels, drums, and even
plastic bags. Just be sure the
container you choose will keep
the soil in and let excess water
drain out.

SFirm Purcliased -
Coldwell Banker Summer

Barbara Stein of Port St. Joe.
Summer Properties is now Cold-
well Banker B & B Properties of
Gulf County, Inc. Coldwell Bank-
er Is one of the largest real estate
companies in North America. This
will give a large sales market and
enable the local firm to attract
more clients to the area,. accord-
ing to Stein. .
They plan to have a full staff
of sales agents ready and availa-
ble to-assist with real estate
needs. They also have a property
management team with over ten
years experience in the field. In
the past this company primarily
concentrated on the Cape San
Bias area only. B & B Properties
plans to extend their service area
to Port St. Joe and the beaches,
and the Overstreet and Wewa-
hitchka areas.


Once you've selected a con-
tainer and have decided what to
grow, it's time to think about a
growing medium. Of course, you
can plant in either ordinary gar-
den soil. or a prepared soil mix. A
good growth medium can be
made of one bushel of vermiculite
(ver-MIK-you-LITE), a bushel of
peat moss, one-and-one-quarter
cups of dolomite (DOLE-ah-mite),
and a cup of 8-8-8 fertilizer with
trace elements-all mixed thor-


roughly. You could also use a
bushel of sand or garden, soil
mixed with a bushel of peat, well-
decomposed compost, or cow ma-
nure. Either way, you need to add
the dolomite and fertilizer.
With mini-gardening, you
have another growth-media op-
tion. You can use soil substi-
tites-things like sawdust, wood
shavings,. pure sand, or gravel. If
you plant in one of the light sub-
stitutes, such as sawdust or


wood' shavings, it'll be easier to
move the cnitainer, if necessary.
In any case, fertilizing a mini-
garden 'planted. in. .soil substi-
tutes, such'as we've mentioned,
is quite different from the meth-
ods used with soil mixes or in
backyard gardens. Soil substi-
Stutes are" porous and don't hold
moisture 'of nutrients 'very long.
Using such media, you need to
water and fertilizer oftae. Normal-
ly, 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 wa-
tering and fertilization. You can
maintain a normal garden water-
ing schedule, and add fertilizer
every week- or two. You' can
drench with a'soluble fertilizer, or


spread common, dry fertilizer on
the soil surface and water it thor-
oughly into the root zone. Just
don't apply too much, or you may
cause fertilizer burn. Regardless
of your method, follow the fertiliz-
er label directions for container
grown vegetables.
If you want to grow vegeta-
bles, but are cramped for space,
give mini-gardening a try. We
think you'll enjoy it-both the ac-
tivity and the produce.

Harper Predicts Stone


May Attempt to Trash


Lives of Lee, King, Next

Civil War General, Civil Rights Leader Stories
Done In Stone Fashion Would Stir People Up
It's only a .matter of time before movie director Oliver Stone-with
Hollywood and the media elite fawning over him-tries to trash
Confederate General Robert E. Lee or Martin Luther King Jr.
This old Georgia-born reporter always writes about General Lee (suh)
this time of year and usually King, because both birthdays are coming up
next week..
Stone is no doubt the most outrageous liar in American history. His
specialty is distorting facts andin the critical points outright lying in the
practice of what he-and other Hollywood creeps-define as artistic priv-
ilege.
Stone in his first major film Platoon had the Marine Corps hymn
played off-key and a bugler bungling Taps. They don't do that, as he well
knows. He again insulted America's intelligence in Born on the Fourth of
July by changing facts that didn't fit his slant. In JFK he credited the CIA
with aiding in the assassination of President Jack Kennedy. Now in Nixon,
once again without a shred of evidence, he implicates the former presi-
dent in the killings of both Jack Kennedy and his brother, Robert,
This is Stone's hateful view of America that has made him a multi-
millionaire and the highest" paid slanderer of dead men in history.
He'd have trouble with Lee whose life was almost unbelievably
squeaky clean, but I'm sure a liar such as Stone could invent some out-
rageous dirt on both Lee and King. It's mere rewriting of history, you
know, something that has become immensely popular in our schools and
politics. Heck, the director of Florida's Democratic Party has made it offl-
cial. They aren't lies anymore, merely "purposeful misstatements.'
The tragedy is that great numbers of American citizens accept the big
lies. For instance, polls now show 50 percent believe the CIA had a role
in Kennedy's' assassination.
The repercussions of slandering Lee or King in a Stone special would
be huge, considering the fervor of the true followers of each man, but to
a Stone that's the path to fame and fortune. Both would make good tar-
gets because they were strong Christian churchmen, therefore politically
incorrect in today's American climate..
King was an ordained minister. Lee a famous general, college presi-
dent and Christian layman, who died from pneumonia contracted at a
late night meeting in a poorly heated small Virginia church where he wor-
shiped. He solved the problem by pledging part of the preacher's pay from
his own funds.
It isn't likely Florida will ever join several Southern states which have
a common holiday for both Lee and King. It would be practical, of course,
as their birthdays come in the same week, but politically incorrect.
And that's alright with southerners who still honor the memory of
Robert E. Lee and the old South. They just take the day off the state and
most businesses allow for Martin Luther King, Jr. and think a little about
Gen. Robert E. Lee (suh).
Lewis Grizzard, late Southern humor writer from Atlanta, entitled a
chapter in one of his books: "Fergit? Hell!"
It's a;catchy title, but most true-grey southerners have put the War
Between the States behind them years ago and realized we're all in this
country together for better or worse. Lee set the example for that, per-
haps, by deliberately walking out-of-step when he surrendered
Confederate forces, indicating the-war was really over.
NOTABLE QUOTES OF THE WEEK;
"A good damn Yankee," Uncle Clem Redneck of Flat Creek in Gadsden
County said of retiring Allen Morris, Florida House clerk emerltus/histo-
rian, who is perhaps the best Florida journalist to ever sell out the news-
paper reporting profession to go to work for the state.
Morris, Chicago-born in 1909, literally had two careers-about 40
years in the newspaper business from copy.boy to political editor on the
Miami. Herald and free-lance capitol columnist, plus 30 more years in gov-
L ernment. : "
"Government is more honest today," Morris said in' an interview.
"Sunshine, financial disclosure, and open-record laws have accomplished
it." .
Uncle Clem cleared his throat, "Harrumpt," on that one.
*'* *** a*. aa .**. \
"Any effort aimed at improving education by focusing on race is not
valid," said Rep. Cynthia Chestnut in the wake of a report by the
Department of Education that cites race as a factor in distinguishing good
schools from bad schools. 'The overriding factor is poverty," said
Chestnut, D-Gainesville, chairwoman of the House Education Committee.


Here's the Capitol News Roundup
"NIMBY" SYNDROME SLOWS JUVENILE JUSTICE REFORM
Although Florida's adult prison system has more prison beds than it
needs this year, teenage criminals aren't finding a place in the inn
because of a Not-In-My-Back-Yard (NIMBY) syndrome and a slow crank-
up of "tough love" programs.
More than 600 young criminals were awaiting placement in a juvenile
program at year's end despite an increase of capacity slots in the system
from 1,151 to nearly 5,900, said Juvenile Justice Secretary Calvin Ross.
Ross attributed the shortage of beds in the programs to delays of six
months to a year in getting necessary zoning and building permits for
new facilities. He said detention centers which hold delinquents waiting
to be put into an organized juvenile treatment program are becoming
crowded and pose a serious problem.
Ross said he is working with the Department of Corrections to use
land next to adult facilities when appropriate.
Lawmakers are expected to urge Ross to use empty beds on a tem-
porary basis in adult prisons where Corrections Chief Harry Singletary
says there are some available.
Rep. Buzz Ritchie, D-Pensacola, said he had hoped new programs he
.helped write into law in the last two years would be opened more quick-
ly.
HIKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENTRANCE STANDARDS TOO
A Democratic Broward County legislator has pre-filed a bill that
would increase entrance requirements at Florida's 28 community colleges
because she says she wants to encourage students to come out of high
schools better prepared.
"I think students will rise to the occasion," said Rep. Debbie


Capitol


NEWSROUND UP

from Tallahassee
by JACK HARPER

Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of .the Florida House Higher Education
Committee. "Otherwise, they will perform at the lowest common denomi-
nator." :
The bill in a package prepared by the committee would raise com-
munity college entrance exams to the same level now required to get into
a four-year university.
Wasserman Schultz said the higher requirements would compliment
'the present movement to increase graduation standards at Florida public
high schools. The state can't continue to spend $50 million a year to
teach community college students basic math and English skills they
were supposed to learn in high schools.
Community college leaders were quick to differ on the results of the
bill which, they said, would destroy Florida's long standing Open Door
Policy at two-year associate degree colleges.
"Raising admission requirements will hurt the students the system is
supposed to help," Tallahassee Community College President T. K.
Wetherell said.
LAW DOESN'T STOP LIQUOR SALE TO MINORS
State agents said in a survey conducted by a House committee that
laws to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors have failed primarily because
it lets businesses retain their licenses when caught by taking a training
program. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has
asked Harold Lewis the state's chief Inspector, to look into the report in
which agents said the liquor industry has too much influence on the'
Department. '
HIGH COURT TO RULE ON TAX VOTE PIAN
The Florida Supreme Court will rule at its discretion on whether to
put a constitutional amendment proposal on the 1966 ballot to require a
two-thirds vote of the public to approve new fees or taxes. Arguments
were heard from the state Tax Cap Committee on the plan. No one -
appeared to oppose the amendment.

Happy New Year
On behalf of Mr. Kelley, we
would like to wish everyone a
very Happy New Year. We won't
even ask how many resolutions
have already been broken. Com-
ing to school on Monday to the
lowest temperature that I can re-
member was rough. I can't speak
for all classes, but all my little
scholars were here geared up to
learn. The temperature here this
particular morning was 23 de-
grees and felt like 50 below. In
Tennessee Christmas it was 24
degrees also, but we never even
wore a coat! Long sleeves were
enough. .
"Now we don't have to spend
any money"
Second grader, Suzanna
Whitfleld, daughter of Kim and
Jeff Whitfield had been needing a
curling brush. Her mother had

"A Bad Cold"
by Brandon Skipper
"One day I had a very bad
Scold, my stomlk (sic) started to
hurt. I started to sneeze too. My
mom put me to bed for the day.
But one good thing about colds is
that you get to eat in bedl"
"I Taught Them All"
Last year when I had a stu-
dent teacher, I was pulling some
papers out and came across this
essay from my own student
teaching days and thought I'd
share It. It comes,Jrom the book
Student Teaching.
"I have taught high school for
ten years. During that time I have
given assignments, among others
to a murderer, an evangelist, a
pugilist, a thief, and an imbecile.
The murderer was a quiet lit-
tle boy who sat on the front seat
Sand regarded me with pale blue
eyes; the evangelist, easily the
most popular boy in the school,
and the lead in the junior play;
the pugilist lounged by the win-
dow and let loose at intervals a
raucous laugh that startled even
the geraniums;. the thief was a
gay-hearted Lothario with a song
on his lips; and the imbecile, a
soft-eyed little animal seeking the
shadows.
The murder awaits death in
the state pen; the evangelist has
lain a year now in the village
churchyard; the pugilist lost an
eye in a brawl in Hong Kong; the
thief, by standing on tip toe, can
see the window of my room from


the county. ail; and the gentle
eyed little moron beats his head
against a padded cell in the state
asylum.
All of these pupils once sat
in my room, sat and looked at me
gravely across worn brown desks.
I must have been a great help to
those pupils. I taught them the
rhyming scheme of the Elizabe-
than sonnet and how to diagram
a complex sentence."
How often do we really know
our students and how to do
something that will and could
make a difference in their lives?

What an introduction back to.
school January 8th-Very Coldl
Of course, when it is very cold (or
very hot, for that matter) things
just don't seem to work as well. I
know I don't.
Starting up the second se-
mester is always fun-junior high
students still haven't figured out
that they can't request schedule
changes, and senior high stu-
dents often think they are in col-
lege and can change schedules
whenever they decide they are not
happy with what they first chose.
If you're wondering about re-
port cards, they are due to go out
January 17 (next week), but most
students already know what they
earned. Notice that I said
"earned", since the more common
response is usually "my teacher
gave me that grade!"
The second semester is as
jammed as the first, so it is ex-
tremely important to get off on
the right foot, cooperate with
teachers and stay within school
rules. We can't afford a second
half stumbled
Basketball (boys and girls) is
cranking up for the dash towards
district. Watch the highway sign
to know when.the Gators play at


home, and get out to see some ex-
citing action. Softball, baseball
and track (and weightlifting) will
be starting before too long (got to
let the ice thaw), and I received
word today (Tuesday) that WHS
will host the District Baseball
Tournament when the playoffs
start.
The Gator fields will surprise
a few people the first time they go
out this year, especially if they
happen to go at night. Both fields
will be lighted (softball is not
completed yet), and many im-
provements will be evident, the
result of a lot of hard work spon-
sored by the baseball boosters.
The Science Fair is not too far
in the future. Parents, please help
your students as they prepare for
this. WHS students have brought
a lot of awards and publicity to
WHS because of the success our
students have enjoyed. We want
to continue this tradition! Help
them when they need it.
Parents--PLEASE READ-We
have numerous nice jackets
(some appear brand new) that
students lost and never claimed.
If your student misplaces his/
hers, you might want to call or
come by. We hate to end up
throwing them away.

Food World Coloring Contest
Congratulations to Matthew
Dodson for winning the coloring
contest at Food World. Matthew
colored a pretty picture of Santa
Claus.
Parents Make The D(iference
What's one simple thing you
can do to help your child do bet-
ter. in school? Read aloud with
your child often.
For very young children,
reading aloud is a way to intro-
duce the world of books. You can
create happy memories and
encourage your child to make
reading a daily habit. Research
shows that even older kids love
being read to. One study found
that all elementary school chil-
dren said they love having some-
one read to them.
Grading Period Ends
The grading period for the
third six weeks ended on Wednes-
day, December 20. Report cards
will be sent home on Wednesday,
January 17.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
School will not be held on
Monday, January 15 in obser-
vance of Martin Luther King, Jr.

School Advisory Meeting
The School Advisory Council
for Port St. Joe Elementary

Thursday, January 18 in the li-
brary. All members are encour-
aged to attend.
Fourth Grade Writing
.Assessment
On Tuesday, January 23 all
fourth graders will be taking the
Florida Writing Test. Parents can
help by encouraging your child to
write each day. Keeping a journal,
writing a diary or writing letters
are just a few ways to tune those
writing skills.
Science Fair
Our annual sixth grade Sci-
ence Fair will be held on January
25 and 26 in the Port St. Joe Ele-
mentary School gym.


Mrs. Carl McGhee, who came to
help every morning. Mary Caitlin
has been a joy to the members of
the class and is probably the
youngest fourth grader in history,
having begun at four months.
She can no longer be confined to
the four walls of the classroom
and wants to explore greater pos-
sibilities and broader activities,
so she will be leaving us (along
with her mother). We will miss
their smiling faces.
Students will be receiving re-
port cards Thursday, January 11
which will evaluate their first se-
mester work. It. is time to begin
anew with enthusiasm, excite-
ment and the anticipation of all
the new year holds. Best wishes
are extended from Faith Christian
to all its readers, students, fami-
'lies and friends for a peaceful and
prosperouss 1996.

sometimes felt like I had some
kind of terminal illness. I often
wondered what was going on.
That summer, I grew three
inches and gained 15 pounds of
mostly muscle. The pain was
what is commonly called "growing
pains". This happens when the
supporting structures of the'
body, the muscles and tendons,
can't seem to keep up with the
rapid growth of the body. But in a
year of disappointment, such
pain turned a clumsy, slow boy
into a quicker and stronger ath-
lete. As a sophomore, .we went
undefeated in J.V. football, and
that spring I made the baseball
team.
Growth, change, and pain, go
hand and glove. Most of my adult
life, I have observed a similar.
phenomena happening in this
beautiful area all along the Gulf
Coast. Time and time again, U. S.
98 has been widened, resurfaced,
and then four-laned. We have
grown faster than our supporting
structures. And this growth has
not been without conflict, confu-
sion and even pain. We have be-
come a melting pot of folks from
all over who can't seem to make
up their minds about incorpora-
tion, pollution, redistricting, or
about anything else for that mat-

Faith Or Works

Some people brag about their faith. Oth-
ers brag about their works. Both are impor-
tant if we are Christians. Some people do
not believe in creeds. However, in Latin,
Credo. simply means "I believe". There are :
times when we all need to be able to tell oth-
ers what we believe about Christ.
Many years ago when I was a member of
the Miami Fire Department the following oc-
curred. Late at night one of the firemen
asked to talk with me. He told me he was
going to commit suicide the next morning if
I couldn't convince him Christ wanted him
to live. Sever hours later my faith had been
tested, and won. ,
I've seen the church in action with
groups of people being the hands of God in
building something for someone in need. In
James 2:17 we find,
"So faith by itself, if it
has no works, is dead."
Therefore, faith and
works go hand in hand
doing the will of God.

ing and mental health center. It is not intended to replace psychological counseling or treatment ser-
vices.


Dear Counselor,
I have had a lot of trouble get-
ting up lately. Just writing this
letter makes me tired. I sleep all
day sometimes, and it is exhaust-
ing just to get dressed. My doctor
has given me a thorough exam
and can't find any physiological
reason for my tiredness. My chil-
dren are all grown and out of the
house, the last child having mar-
ried two months ago. My husband
travels with his job, and so I'm
alone a lot. I've been able to fool
him when-he's home so far, but
it's getting harder and harder.
Sometimes when I lie down, I pic-
ture myself in my coffin and hope
I don't wake up. What's wrong
with me?
Sleepy in St. Joe
Dear Sleepy,
Fatigue can be a symptom of
many things. You mention that
your youngest child recently mar-
ried and no longer lives at home.
You also mentioned that your
husband travels a lot and you are
alone a lot. It may be that you're
experiencing "empty nest" syn-
drome, which many parents feel
when their children grow up and
no longer appear to actively need
them.
Perhaps you simply need to
rediscover old interests that you
once enjoyed and find something
to be excited' about. However, to
get to that point, some counseling
may be needed to get over feelings
of depression, if you are
depressed.


Sometimes depressed people
can get better with the use of
medication, which enables them
to lead the same kind of lives they
led prior to the onset of their ill-
ness. Talk to your doctor and ask
what he/she recommends.
I am very concerned about the
reference that you make to "pic-
turing yourself in your coffin."
How long have you felt this way?
How often do you picture this?
While suicidal thoughts cross
almost everyone's mind at one
time or another (usually a reac-
tion to intense stress), what you're
describing sounds like a cry for
help.
If you need someone to talk
to, please know that there are
emergency mental health workers
on call 24 hours a day, seven days
a week at the Gulf County
Guidance Clinic. If these kinds of
thoughts persist, please seek
counseling right away. This can
be a serious matter if it goes
untreated.
Best Wishes,
Laura Rogers, M.S.
Counselor

tions and comments to:

ter. Opinions on these subjects
are freely exchanged, tempers
sometimes flare, and we often
seem to be at war within our-
selves much like an adolescent
youth growing into adulthood.
But, we must remember, eve-
Srsy transition of life is a narrow
door of pain into the foyer of pos-
sibility. These transitions are
Walks from the warm confines of
the familiar into the cold reality of
the unknown. Birth, the first day
of school, graduation, leaving
home, marriage, and parenthood
are all marked with the risk of
moving from what was to what
can be. Those risks are always
costly, scary and painful, but
what would life be without them?
Let us remember these
things. Let us look beyond the
petty politics, the personality con-
flicts, and the pretentious power
struggles into the bright, promis-
ing future. We must get past the
language of selfishness often
characterized with words like "I",
"me" and "my". We need to learn
a new way of talking and espe-
cially thinking, a language of
community that makes frequent
use of words like "our" and "us".
The ulterior motives that so
often prevail must give way to
consensus and common vested
interest which asks, "What is the
best for all?" The Bible teaches
we should "always pursue what is
good both for yourselves and for
all" (I Thessalonians 5:15, NKJV).
Our churches, civic groups, busi-
nesses, residents, and especially
our politicians must heed this
lesson. The Gulf Coast will con-
tinue to grow. With this will be
continued "growing pains". But
without these the child never be-
comes an adult.


Energetic! Refreshingl Anoint-
ed! These are some of the words
used to describe this talented
group of young people from Co-
lumbia, Alabama called The Bra-
dys. "
Their roots in southern gos-
pel music go way back. The Bra-
dys' heritage of a love of God and
gospel music was handed down
from praying 'parents many years
ago when they began singing in
revivals and camp meetings. Love
for their type of family harmony
and excitement began to spread
and'as they started writing their
own material they became more
and more in demand.
Dr. Elmore and the Highland

ning, January 13 at 7:00 p.m. to
