' i Port City Shopping enter Starts Groundbreaking Ceremonies Kick Off 50,000 sf Development Project That long awaited day finally came to fruition last Friday when the first ceremonial shovels of dirt were turned to begin construction. of Port City Shipping Center. Store owner George Duren exhibited an air of anticipation as he welcomed friends and visitors who joined at the construction site at the intersection of First Street and Highway 98 in Port St. Joe. During his welcoming remarks, Duren reminded those present that some members of his family have been continuously involved In the operation of a gro- cery store in Port St. Joe since his grandfather moved here in 1938. The first phase of the shop- ping center's construction will feature a new 32.000 square foot Piggly Wiggly supermarket, fol- lowed during "phase two" by sev- eral retail spaces within the cen- ter. One out parcel of corner prop- erty is reserved for the location of one of the dominant fast food chain restaurants.- , Another target business being sought is a clothing store. , ,"Our long .term goals are to offer products and services that are not offered now in the busi- ness community,: and 'in some cases current businesses may relocate in the -center," Duren said. commenting on the types of businesses that might locate within the shopping center.' Duren gave special thanks to the people who helped make the development possible. He gave special thanks to Gulf County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Diane Scholz and Preble- Rish. Inc. Consulting Engineers' Project Manager Bill Kennedy for their efforts in bringing together the major infrastructure develop- ment needs in order for the pro- ject to get off the ground. Duren has set a target date for May 15. 2001 to open up for business in the center. Approximately 81.3. million dollars in various grants have been received by the City of Port St. Joe over the past few months. or are expected to be received, to address the infrastructure needs of the First Street project.

Gets Two Portable Defibrillators Donated Emergency health care in Gulf County got a real shot in the arm last week thanks' to the efforts of Gwen Knight and her contribution to purchase two portable defibrillators which was donated to the Gulf County Sheriffs Office. . "We are very fortunate to have wonderful folks such as Mrs. Knight in our community . we're going to refer to her as our angel," said Sheriff Frank McKeithen, in response to the gift. "This is' the least I can do to in some way help the community," Mrs. Knight said of her contribu- tion. Emergency response to heart attack victims is extremely impor- tant. Each minute that passes before emergency treatment Is received can drastically impact a victim's chances of survival. McKeithen said it would be the intent of the department to try and keep the automated units in areas of critical need. Two Gulf County sheriffs offi- cers are already trained in emer- gency medical treatment--Bobby Plair and Stacy Strickland. They will carry the portable units in their patrol cars for. quick response in time of emergency. When connected to a patient, the unit gives audio instruction as it analyzes heart rhythms and evaluates 'a course of 'action including shock treatment, if needed. McKeithen said this is in no way intended to be a replacement for an ambulance, but rather should help provide quicker response to isolated areas of the county until emergency medical services personnel arrive.

But you are One of the most recent was Friday morning's groundbreak- familiar with that line about a friend who sticketh closer than a ing ceremonies for Port City Shopping Center. Over the past brother.... several years there have been several rumors, and, in fact, I don't know how I get myself inquiries about and from chain stores looking to possibly build into some of the pits I gefall into!myself a shopping center in this area. This one was wide and very deep. I distinctly remember thinking to myself during these times, a "How will this impact many of our local merchants?" , Well, those thoughts have now changed to-"I'm proud that our local merchants have the insight and have taken the initia- tive to break ground on Port City Shopping Center." , My hat goes off to George Duren. There-is no doubt major risks are involved when someone takes on a project of this mag- S e e nitude. Needless to say, he's depending on the bank to front the vast majority of funding for what is surely a very significant financial outlay. When you start crunching numbers and figuring out those - monthly payments, I'll guarantee you it took a major gut check to venture into this groundbreaking. I suspect if George lives to see the day the final payment is made, he'll have passed the Biblically allotted time of "three score and 10 years" on this earth. I am happy, not only for George, but for several other busi- nessmen and women throughout our communities who have worked hard and been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time as successful small businessmen. Research has proven that by far most of the jobs created across our state are generated through small businesses. But, research also indicated those same small businesses have a hard row to hoe as they struggle to exist in a marketplace dri- ven by chain stores and nationwide advertising campaigns. Some of our most industrious, open-minded, forward think- ing, and hardest working people are these small business own- ers. Good luck, George, and thanks for your efforts. Back In The News The Boy Scouts of America are back inthe news again. This time it seems that some members of Congress feel the organi- zation should have their federal charter repealed because of ' "intolerance" toward homosexuals. The good news is the bill's chief sponsor, Representative Lynn Woolsy (D-California), has found out she was fishing without bait. Moves such as this continually draw emphasis to the need for voters to take their task more seriously. In my heart, I have to believe that the soul of our society and our government believes in a private organization's rights to set standards and guidelines for folks within their group. i But, only by a close 5-4 Supreme< Court decision were scouts able to stick by a policy which bans gays from instruct- ing young minds about the values scouting seeks to instilll. Obviously, the problem is that homosexual conduct is incon- sistent with those values! Shouldn't the rightof non-homosexuals be tolerated also? What is really of concern to me is that the Supreme Court ruling was only by a 5-4. vote. Over the ne.t fev years I under- | ,stand there will be as: many as four nominatiohis to the Supreme Court. Hopefully, voters will keep that in mind as they select the ' people who will be appointing these judges-the president appoints and his appointments are approved by legislators. Hunker Down With Kes by Kesley tbe The Samaritan Lives! Bill didn't hesitate He rushed to my aid. He gave over and above. When I called the second time to thank him. he asked il there waas more he could do. It reminded me of the story aboul a certain man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho a couple of thousand years ago, and fell among thieves .... I have spent a considerable time sitting here on the edge, look- ing back over into the abyss I just got pulled out of and thinking. You know, when I help someone just a little my chest swells a mite. I usually spit out (with all the false modesty I can muster) an, "Aw shucks,. it weren't nothing, Or I gine 'em the. 'Im IJust glad I was here" line. But I kinda want them , to know that it \\as ole Kes to the rescue. i tried to thank Bill Keith and he immediately began to tell me that the very afternoon after he had come to my aid, he got some help that would dwarf what he had done for me from an unexpected source. He wasn't sticking out his chest. He wasn't milking, some extra thank yous out .of me. He wasn't even lingering on the good deed of the morning. He wasn't interested in self-appreciating kudos, he was too busy serving others . Pie Construction-A Feat Deserving Of A Gol THIS SUBJECT OF scupper- nong and muscadine pie is begin- ning to raise a bit of interest. I. didn't know it would create so much interest. The only pie I had eaten came from one source, so I just took for granted that it was a unique creation of the source. I had a short letter from whom I thought was the creator of the pies, Mrs. 0. 0. Oliver, up in Wewahitchka, who lives in the house built by her late husband' on Jehu Road, backed up to the Dead Lakes. Mrs. Oliver-the mother of one of my sons-in-law-says she was introduced to the building of the pies by her mother. Then, I get recipes entitled, "Best of the Best from Georgia"' from a lady named Betty Griffin on the internet and I realize the recipes must have been with us for quite a while.

Investigators Jimmy Williams and Rita Piercy were called to the scene after a 9-1-1 call was logged with the sheriffs office, reporting the attempted robbery. According to the clerk's state- knent, a black male entered the store at approximately 9 p.m., CT. The suspect attempted to make a purchase and was asked for his identification by the clerk.

The clerk quickly reminded him he was being videotaped and the suspect ran out of the store. No money was taken and the video has since been played on local television stations in an effort to identify the suspect-,a black male; 6'1' to 6'2" tall; 160 to 180 pounds; short hair. He was wearing blue jeans to the knees (baggy) ana a light col- ored shirt with dark checked out- line on the short sleeve. On the right pocket of the jeans, he has a white New York Yankee emblem as well as another emblem of some nature on the left leg of the jeans above the seam.

The Big Fight Against Cellulite Orange-peel skin. cottage cheese. Whatever you call it. cel- lulite is an unattractive and unhealthy problem for many. women. Cellulite occurs when body fat gets sandwiched into,t pockets separated by strong, iair thin threads called septa. which anchor skin to muscle. In areas such as the hips. thighs and but2 stocks, where women are most likely to store fat, this., tuftingg" becomes so pronounced that it dimples.. Men are not usually affected by cellulite because, their septa attach in a crisscross formation rather than the vertical strands found in women's skin. And while most of us would assume that only heavy women are prone to cellulite, the truth is that anyone. including average and under- weight women, can have problerq areas. Even supermodels com- plain about cellulite. This storage of fat is not only unappealing from a cosmetic point of view, but it can also lead to health problems such as accu- mulation of fluid in the layers of - skin, impeded blood flow, toxin buildup, nutrient depletion, and deterioration of the connective tis- sue as it loses elasticity and undergoes fibrosis. Fortunately, there are'ways women can address the problem, of cellulite. Diet: Reducing overall fat intake, though fat is not the sole cause, can help lessen the prolif- eration of cellulite. Exercise: While no "dure" eX'jts. exercise helps build mus- cle tone, which in turn can make the contours of your body-- including cellulite-look better. Keep at it. Tone and moisturize: A body firming and moisturizing gel, can help smooth out sponginess and increase circulation to prob- lem areas. When vigorously mas- saged into skin every day, it breaks down fat deposits and stimulates irrigation where applied. The ingredient used to counteract cellulite increases the synthesis of elastin and collagen, which encourages restoration of the cutaneous tissues, thereby, creating firmer, smoother skin over time. Formulated with botanical extracts, vitamins, minerals, nutrients and essential oils, it can give you visibly firmer, smoother, sleeker skin in a matter of weeks.

Sickle cell disease affects mil- lions of people worldwide. includ- ' ing two million in' the United' States. An inherited genetic con- dition often .associated with. African Americans (one in every 400). the disease actually affects- many ethnic groups including Arabs. Greeks. Italians. Turks, Indians. and Native and Hispanic Amencans (one in every 1,000 to -1 .400). September is National Sickle Cell Month. an appropriate time to take a few moments to* learn about this condition. Sickle cell disease refers to a group of inherited red blood cell disorders that cause cells to become hard. sticky 'and sickle- shaped. rather than normal round, doughnut-shaped cells. When sickle cells try to how through smaller blood vessels. they often clog the bloodstream. break apart and prevent oxygen- beanring cells from reaching tis- sues. This causes inflammation and pain and can ultimately destroy tissue and impair the function of vital organs. Other complications include strokes. increased susceptibility to infec- tions. Leg ulcers. bone damage, lung blockage and delayed growth. "Though there is currently no cure for sickle cell disease. early diagnosis and treatment have proven to be effective in reducing its severity." said Robert J. Forster. M.D.. vice president and medical director of care and net- work quality for Blue Cross arid Blue Shield of Florida s North Geographic Business Unit. "Years ago. many sickle cell patients did not live beyond their 30s. but now early diagnosis and treatment can,: dramatically reduce the nsks of infections, helping patients lead full and productive lives." Sickle cell disorders are inherited when a child receives two sickle cell genes from his or her parents. If only one of the genes is passed on to the child, the condition is known as sickle cell trait and the child will not exhibit symptoms of the disease, but has, increased potential for passing sickle cell on to offspring. About ond of every twelve African Americans has sickle cell trait. Children of two sickle cell trait parents have a 25 percent chance of having the disease, a 50 per- cent chance of being carriers and a 25 percent chance of not inher- iting the gene. Studies have shown that daily treatment with penicillin from the time the child is two months old until he or she reaches age five reduces the risk of serious infec- tion by almost 85 percent. Because beginning treatment early is so important, all babies should be screened for this condi- A tion at birth. All it takes is a sim- .-... SURE!

Commander Seefeldt stated that, "We must always remember in a special way the more than 88,000 Americans who remain missing from all our nation's wars and conflicts." From World War II alone, more than 78,000 Americans remained unaccounted for. From the Korean War, more than 8,200 GIs are still officially listed as missing, including 389 who were at one time listed as prisoners of war. In Southeast Asia, 2,031 are listed as unac- counted for. More 'than 100 Americans are still missing from. the Cold War. VFW is committed to the fullest possible accounting of all the nation's missing service- men. They use picks and shovels and labor on mountainsides and in remote jungle cleanngs. When they recover bone fragments and other evidence, they send the material to the Central Identification Lab, where special- ists meticulously attempt to iden- tify the remains. Recovery operations continue every year in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. and Korea,' as well as on WWII battle- fields, and in areas: where Cold War losses are suspected. VFW supports future negotia- .tions with North Korea, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and expects those countries to do more unilat- erally to help reach the fullest .possible account of our missing ~rv;rs~heR5L~ FW has i &alw als e'es9o that the Slight ",or P.Ws and, '11A.

While keeping your hands clean is always important, there are certain times when clean hands are even more crucial to fighting bacteria. In the Kitchen It's important to keep hands clean when eating or preparing food, especially after handling uncooked foods such as meat, poultry or fish. ,. Around infants keeping gdrms away from babies is espe-' ciaily important as their immune systems are still growing and adapting to the environment. Wash your hands before handling an infant and before and after changing diapers. -In the Bathroom Bacteria like to linger in bathrooms. so washing up after using the bath- room is one of the easiest ways to help keep these germs at bay. When You or Someone Else is Sick or Hurt Washing hands after sneezing or blowin mg your nose when you are ill can help avoid spreading bacteria, and also when visiting someone who is ill. When treating a wound or injury. it is important to maintain clean hands so germs don't find an easy way in. Kids and dirt, g hand in hand, but you can give germs a new resfing-place by teaching children proper hand- washing techniques and the time to do so. Using an antibacterial soap will. help fight germs that lurk around school corners.

Worshi~'pueatWUthe I t Chrc o Yu G ulf County has the unique healthcare needs and limited services of a rural county, while ready access to quality facilities and specialty medical services exists just beyond our boundaries in Panama City and Tallahassee. We face the inconvenience and. expense of travelling to other cities to receive many specialty medical care services which may not be available here at home. In-migration, people iovifng to J Gulf'County;. has, created most' (97.2%) of our increase in popula- tion. Population growth in Gulf County from 1980 to 1990 was very modest, with an increase of' only eight-percent (8%). But since 1990, annual growth accelerated to approximately sixteen percent (15.7%). This means that in twen- ty years, Gulf County has grown from just over 10,000 people to over 15,000, an increase of fifty percent I(50o). [Source: AHCA Population Estimates, NCFHPC, 19981. A t this rate of growth, the County will be double the 1980 population within two years; - and within five years. Gulf County will be double the population esti- mate fqi 2000 of 15,230. Increased demands for accessible,:: quality Healthcaree' services will accompany this growth in popula- tion. . rCIritical health needs are more Evident in rural Gulf County than elsewhere, which makes access all the more important. According to Florida Vital Statistics, 1992-96, Gulf County has a higher incidence than State rates in cancer, lung. disease, stroke, diabetes. 'injuries, and motor vehicle crashes: and is equal to State averages in heart disease, pneumonia/influenza. suicide, and liver disease. - G ulf County will have increas- ing healthcare needs over the next five years as more people move here, which will make. access to quality services all the more important. Our. County Comtissidn thu'st provide the leadership and planning to estabc. lish a public-private sector part- nership to insure the availability of quality healthcare equivalent to elsewhere in the State. in emer- gency, outpatient, and inpatient, to meet the critical needs of our growing population. We. should be realistic .in our expectations, as we will not have the population to support the full range of specialty care- found in big cities, but we can have quality in the care that is available to our community. ie must preserve our ability to provide for our family members who require inpatient care here in Gulf County, and not cause -the additional burden of exporting our sick and dying to other counties because we have. failed to pryicde the availability of care here at, home. As County Commissioner, I will utilize my knowledge, and experience in business,, government, and healthcare, working together with our medical professionals, to plan and develop private sector resources to meet the, healthcare needs of all our. people in Gulf County.

Lamar Patterson capped off the drive with a six yard touchdown run to give Port St. Joe a 6-0 lead with 7:08 left in the first quarter. Big plays during the drive were: quarterback Seneca Chambers connected with Isaiah Jenkins for 12 yards on a slant; Chambers hooked up with Kyron Bailey for 21 yards; and Chambers picked up 11 yards on a quarterback keeper. Liberty County answered on ,its ensuing possession, driving 50 yards in seven plays to set up a 28 yard field goal to narrow the Sharks' lead to 6-3 with 3:17 left in the first quarter. The Sharks bounced right back and continued to dominate on offense. On second and eight from their own 32 yard line, Chambers and Bailey teamed up again, this time for a nine yard gain.

Jacob Tankersley led the Dolphins Defeat Eastpoint Eagles Tuesday night, the Port St. Joe Dolphins controlled the ball on both offense and defense, defeating the Eastpoint Eagles 20- 0. The first half saw the tough Dolphin defense hold the Eagles to minimal gains, while the St. Joe offense moved the ball up and down the field. Desean North, the Dolphin runriing back scored once, and another touchdown was called back on one of several ille- gal block penalties-the only blemish in an otherwise near-pro- fessional performance by the St. Joe team. In the second half the Dolphins scored twice, the second score coming on a long, exciting run by Rock Quinn. Following this touchdown Corbin Vickery kicked for two extra points, following a perfect long snap by Antonio Peterson and a hold by 'Matthew Pope. The Dolphin defense, led by Clifton Legrone, David Walker, Raheem Clemons, Stephen Denton and Ricky Pasco, stifled the Eagles to preserve the shut- out victory. This exciting win, with excel- lent half-time entertainment by the Eagle and Dolphin cheerlead- ers, was enjoyed by the many who attended this Tuesday night game.

' Porcelain The Chinese used porcelain for vases, but now we're using porcelain laminates to build smiles. These laminates are small shields that fit over your teeth like false fingernails fit on fingers. If you have wide gaps between your teeth or if your teeth are permanently stained, you may want to consider porce- lain laminates, which can be shaped to match your own per- sonal smile. .aminates The procedure is surprisingly straight-forward. We'll prepare.- the teeth, make an impression of them, choose the right color ot shade, and bond the laminate shields in place. Usually, the only tooth preparation necessary is to(, make the needed contour adjust- ments and shape the porcelain shields once they are bonded.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 Keep Your Young Athlete In today's age of health and fitness, more and more kids are involved in sporting activities. Although being part of a football, soccer, or little league team is an important rite of passage for many children, parents and their chil- dren could be overlooking the importance of proper nutrition and body-conditioning needed for preventing injuries on and off the playing field. "The majority, if not all, sports are good, provided that the child prepares appropriately." said Dr. Ken Dougherty, president "National Wildlife Refuge Week"; Fall Open House Tours St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge will conduct the 17th annual fall Open House Tours. during the second week of October. Participants will have the opportunity to become better acquain-ted with their refuge and its varied wildlife and wildlife habitats. The Open House is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, "National Wildlife Refuge Week", October 9 through 11. One tour will be conducted daily October 9, .10, and 11 (Monday through Wednesday). The tours are scheduled to leave the refuge's Indian Pass boat dock at 8:00 a.m., ET, and will return at approximately 1:00 p.m., ET. , Transportation across Indian Pass will be provided for partici- pants of the Open House tours. Those wishing to participate must make reservations by phone at (850) 653-8808' beginning on September 25. Reservations will be limited to four individuals per group. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service former Director Mollie Beattie said the second week in October will be observed annually as "National Refuge Week," leading up to the 100th anniversary in 2003. "By that time." Beatue said. 'We hope to make all Americans aware of the National Wildlife Refuge System as places to enjoy wildlife; to hunt, to fish, to watch, and to learn about our natural heritage.," As a rermnder, the refuge is open to the public year-round during'daylight hours except dur-` C, ing hunt periods and prescribedd'2.- burns- and/or wildfires. "Special':*, permits or pnor notice are not required to visit. Transportation to the refuge is the responsibility of the visitor when not in conjunc- tion with a specific refuge activity. "Our mission is working with others to conserve, protect. and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continu- ing benefit of, the American peo- ple." NOW See The Star On Line at www.StarFL.com of the Florida Chiropractic Association (FCA). : "Without proper preparation, playing any sport can turn into a bad experi- ence. There are structural and physical developmental issues that need to be taken into consid- eration before children undertake certain sports." Highly competitive sports such as football, gymnastics and wrestling follow rigorous training schedules that can be potentially dangerous to an adolescent or teenager. The best advice for par- ents who have young: athletes in the family is to help them prepare their bodies and to learn to pro- tect themselves from sports- related injuries before they happen "Prolper warm up, stretching and weight-lifting exercises are essential for kids involved in sports, but many :kids learn improper stretching or weight-lift- ing techniques, making them more' susceptible to injury," said Dr. Dougherty. "Parents need to work with their kids; and make sure they receive the proper sports training. Young athletes should begin with a slow jog to warm-up the legs and arms and stretch all the major muscle groups. Kids involved in football, baseball, gymnastics ,and :swim- ming should develop a routine 'that includes strengthening exer- cises for the abdomen, the low- back muscles, arms and shoulders." Proper nutrition and hydra- tion are also extremely vital. "A student athlete may need to drink eight to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water for proper absorption.. Breakfast should 'be the most important meal of the day. Also, eating a healthy meal before and after practice or a game allows for' proper replenishment and refuels the body," added Dr. Dougherty.' 'Young athletes today often think they are invincible. The fol- lowing tips can help ensure your child does not miss a step when it comes to proper fitness, stretch- ing, training and rest that the body needs to engage: in sporting activities. Encourage your child to: *Wear the proper equipment. Certain contact sports, such as football and hockey, can be dan- ge6rouis if the equipment is not properly fitted. Make ':su.re all *equipment, including helmets, pads, and shoes fit your child or adolescent. Talk to your child's coach or trainer if the equipment is damaged. *Eat healthy meals. Make sure your young athlete is' eating a well-balanced diet and does not skip meals. Avoid high-fat foods, such as candy bars and fast food. At home, provide fruit: rather than cookies, and vegetables rather than potato chips.' ,;i : *Maintain a healthy eighth.

Publish September 21. 2000 strict dietary rules. Be sure you child does not feel pressured into being too thin and that he/she understands proper nutrition and caloric intake is needed for opti- mal performance and endurance. *Drink water. Hydration is a key element to optimal fitness. Teenage athletes should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Younger athletes should drink five to eight 8-ounce glasses ofw vater. *Drink milk. Make sure your' child has enough calcium included in his/her diet. Children over two years old should drink one percent or skim milk rather than whole milk. Milk is essential for healthy bones and reduces the risk of joint and muscle-related injuries. - eAvoid sugar-loaded, caf- feinated and carbonate drinks.' Sports drinks are a good source of replenishment for kids engaged in long duration sports such as track and field. *Follow :a warm-up routine. Healthy Be sure your child or his/her coach includes a warm-up and stretching session before every practice, game or meet. A slow jog, jumping rope and/or lifting small weights reduces the risk of torn or ripped muscles.' Flexibility becomes a preventive key when pushing to score that extra goal or to make that critical play. *' Take vitamins daily. A multi- vitamin and Vitamin C are good choices and Vitamin B and amino Sacids -may help reduce the pain from contact sports. Thiamine can help promote healing. Also con- sider Vitamin A to strengthen scar tissue, and avoid 'trendy supple- ments. Kids under the age of 18 should avoid the use of perfor- mance-enhanced 'supplements, such as creatine. Instead, they should ask their coach or trainer to include weekly weight training and body-conditioning sessions in theifrworkout. *Get plenty of rest. Eight hours of sleep is ideal' for the young athlete. Lack of sleep and rest can catch up with the athlete and Fit and decrease performance, Sluggishness, irritability and loss of interest could indicate' that your child is fatigued.

Caution and clear thinking in the wake of a flood can help save lives' as Well as property. Consider these steps to ensure personal safety and avoid further damage to homes and property. Don't return home without authorization and don't walk through floodwater, particu- larly. if it's moving Currents even in small amounts of water can be strong enough to carry you away. If you must venture into still water, use a pole or stick to make sure the ground beneath the water is solid. 'When driving observe barri- cades and avoid flooded roads. Drowning and electrocution -are the leading causes of death from flooding. Stay away from power lines. and electrical wires. Report downed wires to your local utility company or emergency officials. If. you, did not turn off your electricity before you left home, do it as soon as you return. Check appliances or electronic devices such as televisions for water damage, don't use them until they have been taken apart and dried. Use caution when entering' any building. Falling plaster, cracks in the foundation and unstable ceilings could make buildings extremely hazardous. Take care when walking anywhere the flood has reached, including the floors in your home. Snakes or small animals often take shelter or are washed inside during floods. Debris such as nails and broken bottles an&deven niud and sticks can cause slip- pery, uneven footing, making walking hazardous. : ' Check 'for gas' leaks.
