a' USPS 518-880 FORTY-SECOND YEAR, NUMBER 28 For Port Facilities ,Study Is Two major problems faced the Port Authority in their present quest to establish a port operation, h're in Port St. Joe. These were primarily, land on whichto construct the port and business to put through it. The first of these hurdles were met last summer when Jake C. Belin, President of St. Joe Paper Company stated his company would make land available on which to locate the facilities being plahned by the Port Authority. Belin stated publicly that his firm would make any land available needed for the installation and would make right of way available for a new high level bridge across the Gulf County canal,,so port operations could be performed under and around the bridge installation without interfering with traffic or having traffic 'interfere with the port. The Paper Company_ has made thw Port, Authqrity a priceon the land it will need. The Authority feels that due to the'extreme value of the water-fronrit property, the pricemade them is very rea- sonable. ' Belin's offer set tle wheels in motion Which had been stalled f6rso 'many years Because of lack of 'property. Today,. the second of the two major testswill be deter- mined when the Port Author- ity goes to Tallahassee to meet with their engineers, The Coloney Cqmpany, which is:to report Hon its feasibilitY survey. The s ur- vey wilre determine Whether JC Beln or not the port can be Offers Landl profitable. Port Authority chairman, George Tapper, says he has heard from the firm in an advance report that the study looks very good. The Port Authority andotber local officials are meeting this afternoon at 2:00 p.m., in the Department of Commerce Room 309 in the Collins Building on Gaines Street in Tallahassee. TO FILE APPLICATION. Tapper said, "If our sneak preview is correct, and the report is favorable for port operations in the manner we have been planning, we intend to file an application with the 'armers Home Administration for financing of the port construction Thursday afternoon." Tapper said Farmers Home Administration has expressed ai n interest in financing the project ands representatives of th.isagency will be present at the meeting today. ,. The port planners are workingtoward an April 1 deadline to get their application for funds in for the new fiscal year. The Port Authority was told at the meeting held here Saturday, March 3 that the federal agency could consider the application promptly if the application was in by April 1 of this year. If the application for'funds is approved by Farmers Home, itwill give the project an opportunity to get started with construction this year. APPLY'FOR DREDGING Tapper also said the Port Authority has made an application to the Coastal Plains Regional Council f4r funds to finance dredging at the port, sheet piling, fill on ,the east side of the bridge and other work pertinent to preparation of the basin and dock facilities.

Boating Timc It's spring time again and water. Around here, when the with the coming of spring, the fishermen begin hitting the fishermen begin hitting the water, they start thinking they have very few places they can hit the Gulf water with their This situation caused Coun- ty Commissioner James Tank- ersley to remark at the County M .Commission meeting Tuesday morning, "We have a boat 'landing on nearly every cor. ner in the north end of the county, and only one city pier for access to the Gulf of Mexico!" Tankersley was expressing a need for adequate boat launching facilities on the bay and-the Gulf to accommodate salt water fishermen and tourists to the area. Hunting such a site has been an exercise in futility for the Commission for some time in The past futile search for a place to put such a launch site caused Commission Chairman Billy Branch to remark, "We've got the money to put in such a landing or launch facilities if you can find the land to put it on." Branch went on to point out that the county had prepared Cubs and Webelos were the launch sites on the Gulf of Edward Whaley, second and Mexico' before, but the wave petition; Chris Kennington,. and water action washed out t and Paul Nedley second in .the sites about as fast as they rds is the Cubmaster.

Ellzey told the Commission the draggers come into the Bay every spring and gather up all the scallops before they are really big enough to harvest. "This practice is not only raining the: sport scalloping in the Bay, it is also doing considerable damage to the Bay:. bottom and disturbing other sports fishing activities", Ellzey told the Commission. Ellzey also pointed to the considerable attraction the Bay and its scallops has for tourists within a,- 200 mile radius' of Port ,St.. Joe., "People 'come from --Star photo Pensacola, Tallahassee, Panama City and South Georgia and,| Alabama, just to get to pick up a mess of scallops and the; recreation it provides them", Ellzey said. "We have a unique g attraction here for our people and tourists and we need to- [l1e protect it for this use." Ellzey said,'"When the boats come in the scallops are gone in just a little while." . o the struc- County Commission Chairman Bill Branch asked* hiring in the attorney Billy Joe Rish for advice on the matter and Rish advised that the County. could not forbid any practice in the: S ,. Bay concerning fishing. He said this was a matter for the: bul. state to consider and recommended a public hearing on the, matter with Representative Leonard Hall, who was present at the meeting, and the entire state government delegation.. The Mexican aliens were stopped by the Sheriff's Department near 'the overpass on Highway 98 when their motor home, in which they were travelling, was unable to make it up the incline due to -motor troubles. The aliens were lodged in the Gulf County jail for nearly a week before the Immigration Department picked them up. In the photo above, Sheriff Murphy hands the check over. to County Commission Chairman Bill Branch. -Star photo HALL ASKS FOR EXPRESSION Representative Hall then got into the conversation and said, "This decision is up to the Department of Natural: Resources. I'll be glad to help you in this matter, but I would need an expression of what the County wants and how the people feel in the matter before I could present it to the ', DNR.," -: S'-., Gmnvisioridr, JAmes Tankersley then remarked, .i '"'- "You'll ge( 100 percent apprdval-to-elds-Tef BtitWrftlfg here in the County, but you may meet opposition from commercial harvesters from Bay and Franklin counties."' Hall then stated he may have trouble getting the Bay, closed year-round to commercial harvesting, but he felt he, could get some relief at least, if he could get an expression from the county. MOTION MADE Commissioner Leo Kennedy then moved that they. request the Bay be closed to drags during the months of May, June and July. Ellzey then suggested the month of April' be included in the prohibition, "since the draggers start their operation in late April when the scallops are not much bigger than a nickel." . Kennedy then amended his motion to include April as one of the closed months. Tankersley seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Commission then further defined their request to include only that portion of the Bay which lies south of a line drawn between Presnell's Landing and Eagle Harbor, across the Bay. Ellzey said this would include all the shallow water where waders could enjoy their scalloping. A public hearing on the matter will be set up by Representative Hall and Senator Pat Thomas for the near future. and No Launch Site and stated, "I think we should have a launching site in the vicinity of the curve just west of th'e'Dixie Belle Motel where many people now gather to fish, crab and have salt water recreation. I think it's a pity that we have such a facility as the Bay and the Gulf in our backyard and can't use them because of lack of some facility to make them avail- able." Branch then said, "It's my understanding that such facil- ities will be provided in the proposed port and seafood processing facilities on the Canal and that would be ideal. In the meantime, though' I repeat, we have the money available to put, in a launch site if someone can come up with a place to'put it." Presently, the only places to launch a boat on the Bay is up in the south end of the Bay at Presnell's camp, at the end of Fifth Street in Port St. Joe and the canal at Mexico Beach. All of the sites are limited for one reason or the other. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters before the Commission, they- -Turned down a request from Tax. Collector Harland Pridgeon, presented by his clerk, Mrs. Ollie Stutzman that the fees collected by the county on Occupational Li- censes go entirely to the county. Presently the fees are divided between the county and the cities in the county. Attorney Billy Joe 1Rish advis- ed the Board state law requir- ed the present manner of distribution of revenues. -Agreed to wafke license fees for the Port St. Joe Jaycees to bring a circus to Port St. Joe later this month.. --Set up a special meeting for 7:00 p.m., Friday to discuss a porposal to bond the county secondary road fund money for a county-wide paving project and to consider engineer applications for de- sign of the roads. Doctor Given 15 More Days Termination of hospital privileges for Dr. Anila Poonai was delayed for a period of 15 days on action by the Hospital Board Tuesday night. Dr. Anila Poonai had her privileges to work in Muni- cipal Hospital removed 30 days ago, based on the findings of two examining medical committees and their recommendation to the Board. The original 30 day delay in removing privileges was made because of a pending hearing on an injunction to prevent the removal by the Board. Dr. Poonai had filed for an injunction from Federal Court to prevent removal of her privileges. A hearing was to be held on the injunction last week, but was delayed until March 22. At this time the request will go before Federal Judge Winston Arnow to decide whether or not to grant the injunction. d Acting on the advice of'' the attorneys representing the hospital in the hearing, the Board granted the delay in removal of Dr. Poonal's privileges to April 1. The attorneys said this would give the court time to hear the request for an injunction and give the Judge 10 days to act on the request. Dr. Poonal's privileges were to be terminated today.

VA Office to be Closed A While The Gulf County Veterans Service Office will be closed in Port St. Joe on Thursday, March 22. The Wewahitchka, office will be closed on Friday, March 23. Mr. Kleeb, the service officer, will be attend- ing a one day seminar on the New Pension Law 95-588, at St. Petersburg. The Veterans Service Office will be closed at Port St. Joe. and Wewahitchka from Fri- day, May 12 through Friday, It took some effort on the part of the Kiwanis Club in a venture which was non-profit, at a busy time, to bring a spiritual uplift to the people of our community. To operate a project on a Sunday morning, when everyone is trying to get ready to attend church takes a little special effort. Those who came also put forth a little extra effort and were well rewarded for it. We don't know of anything this community, this countyhis state or this nation needs at this time more than it needs to go to God in prayer and ask for His guidance. We want to thank the Kiwanis Club and their members for coming up with this idea, which, we understand, they hope to make an annual happening. We thought it was .also approp- riate that the state's Insurance Commissioner was the guest speak- er at an event which .was asking for some assurance from God.

By BILLY Phillipians 3:7-11 Key Word: Jesus is gain (V-7) "But whatever things are gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ." (V-8) "More than that, I count all things to be loss in Wesley, Since moving from Port St. Joe a few years ago, I really look forward to receiving The Star each week. It permits me to keep up with what's going on in' Port St. Joe and Gulf County. And even though I am not living in Port St. Joe right now, I feel as if I'm still a resident since I'm able to keep up with the majority of the major events and day to day happenings in the area. The last few months I have really been excited as I read about some of the plans for the area such as the new planned port and. of the seafood complex and of the new high rise bridge over the canal. These will be of great signifi- Notes NORRIS view of the surpassing value of knowing Jesus Christ my Lord, for whom I have suffer- ed the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ," (V-9) "and may be found in Him, not having a righte6us- chance for the people of this area; and you know what? Port St. Joe and Gulf County deserve it! It will be great to come to Port St. Joe and not have to worry about crossing ness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith," (V-10) "that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellow- ship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;" (V-11) "in order that.I may attain to the resurrection from the dead." Along the path which the Christian walks to attain maturity (some Christians never do) there must come an instruction in proper account- ing. In the scripture above just what are the losses Paul is speaking of? Here is where proper accounting takes over. The loss of our selfish will, our dead spirit man, hatred of our brothers and sisters, of rebel- lion, of fear, of unnatural habits, to name a few, are some of our proper losses. The loss of these means a -closer relationship with Jesus. Man's personal righteousness comes from man's law, but LETTERS .. to the Editor the Highland View bridge or Port St. Joe, seems like the whether or not we should wait Lord is answering the prayers for it to get repaired or just go of a lot of good people. ahead and turn around and go through Overstreet and We- Lamar Orrell wahitchka. Congratulations Thomaston, Ga. the Christian's righteousness is through Jesus which comes from God. Everything else takes on a lesser degree of importance when we realize that to KNOW HIM in the power of His resurrection, in fellowship of His sufferings and having been conformed in His death means we also were resur- rected with Him. All else is of no avail except Jesus living in us and we living in Him. Problems not withstanding Jesus is everything!

Of course we cannot possi- bly mention everyone who lent a helping hand to this year's Special Olympics, but we would Ikie them to know that their efforts are appreciated. Sincerely, Samuel Stallworth President, G.C.A.R.C. ETAOIN SHRDLU By RICK LAMBERSON was speaking to the Itotary Club last Thursday about the new fad of running which is taking over the country - including Port St. Joe. Rick, who is also into running (as he could well be at his tender age of under 30) and he says he enjoys it. At the meeting last Thursday, Rick was quoting some benefits from running which help a man. He quoted a statistic from some doctor who said the average man gains one and a half pounds per year in fat after the age of 25. Of course, some of this fat gain is offset in total weight by a loss of muscle tissue which is replaced by fat. That's a terrible future for those of us who plan to live to 100 to look forward to. That means y: Wesley R. Ramsey by the time I reach my goal I'll weigh 250 pounds if I don't start running! Since I don't' plan to start running, I guess I'll just have to start putting up for a larger wardrobe. I wonder how much muscle tone one gets from watching runners run? SPEAKING OF getting fat, I was talking to Bill Lyles Thursday and inquired as to his health after his seizure at the port meeting held here a week ago this past Saturday. Bill said the doctors checked him over good and could find nothing wrong, so he felt he was in pretty good shape for the shape he is in. Bill told me, "The only thing they could find wrong with me were some fatty deposits in my brain." Then Rick gave his talk. Now, Bill can tell where his extra weight is going to center itself. He is over 25, considerably, and a ripe candidate for that "one and a half pounds of fat a year" gain. Now, he knows where the gain will be. But don't you worry, Bill. I don't think you're a fat head. Really! I SAW where the people who write the dictionary have decided to purge the American language (only a distant kin to English) and rid it of some of the words we. have coined in recent years which are not words at all. I don't expect their revision and black- balling of certain words to be taken lightly in certain segments of our society. One of the words which will be forever banished in the dictionary as a matter of fact it isn't even in the dictionary now is "chairperson". In difference to our sweet young things, the ladies of our life, Americans have taken the safe ,avenue of describing a "chairman" as a "chairperson" to avoid any hint of sexism in describing this particular function. The dictionary writers will surely earn the barbs of the feminists by the statement of their editors who have said, in print, "The word WIN,- T H E ST A R POSTOFFICEBOX308 SUBSCRIPTIONS INVARIABLY PAYABLE IN ADVANCE PIie vAeei PHONE 227-1278 IN COUNTY-ONE YEAR, SS.00 SIX MONTHS, $3.00 THREE MONTHS, S127.50 Aii Published Every Thursday at306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida OUT OFCrIuNTy-St.0 OUT OF U.S.-One Year, 9.00 ByTheStar Publishing Company PORT ST.

WITH SPRING coming up, and its annual bouts with the spring fever, I'm reminded of something Spotball Barbee said one time. "We do this retirement backwards", he says. "We should furnish a young man with a home and everything he needs to travel, play, vacation and have a good time until he is about 35 years of age. Then we should put him to work and make him work the rest of his life". Spotball has the right idea. After a person retires at age 65 or older, there isn't.much play left in the old boy. WILL ROGERS, that famous Olkahoma humorist, once said: "We will never get anywhere with our finance till we pass a law saying that every time we appropriate some- thing, we got to pass another bill along with it stating where the money is coming from". Rogers made this statement back during the depression when many people didn't even know what money looked like. It was the start of the big deficits and the beginning of government trying to be all things to all people. The statement applies to today more so than it did to the 1930's. During these days when Americans are so concerned over just how to. balance our national budget, we need to think again of Rogers' words. Our country got $800 billion into debt by initiating pro- grams and appropriating money for 'their financing without any thought given as to where the money would come from. So we just borrow it and let later generations worry about where the money will come from.

THURSDAY, MAR. 15, 1979 PAGE THREE Honor society members competing in "Brain Brawl". Honor Society Hosts District Meet Schools from all over the district came to Port St. Joe recently to participate in the District II spring meeting of the National Honor Society. During the registration period prior to the meeting, the students and faculty advisors enjoyed some musical enter- tainment provided by. the St. Joe Singers.

Nominations and election of district officers were also held at the meeting. Marianna High School was elected to the position of president, succeeding Wewa- hitchka High School. Wewa- hitchka High School was elected vice-president, suc- ceeding Port St. Joe, who was elected unchallenged to the position of secretary-treasur- er.

Don't wait until you move into your new house to start thinking about saving energy. You'll be too late. The time to do it is before you build. The first step is to ask your builder about Florida Power's Energy Saver Program and see what energy saving options are best for you. By building to Energy Saver standards for design, construction and equipment, you can save up to 35% a year in energy costs. The Energy Saver Program sets efficiency standards for insulation, windows, heating and cooling equipment, water heating and ,- appliances. So ask your builder for ''details.

The Sharks jumped into the lead scoring three runs in the top of the second inning. The first two runs came off walks as the Leon pitcher walked five in a row. Then, Allen Sisk drove in another with a single up the middle. Leon went right to work scoring two in the top of the second, one in the third, the go-ahead run in the fourth and an insurance run in the sixth. David Fowler was the losing pitcher with Freddie Woullard coming on in relief in the sixth. Jimmy Yates was the winning pitcher for Leon. The Sharks traveled back to ,jallahassee Friday to take on another 3-A team, Rickaids After getting off to a slug- gish start, they found them- selves behind 5-0 after two and a half innings of play.. The' Sharks saw the hand- writing on the wall and bounced back with two runs in the bottom of the third. Tim Beard led off with a single, Kevin Watts got on base off an error; then three successive' walks scored each. The team didn't let it lie long. They' went right back to work in the fourth inning, scoring three times as they sandwiched, two key hits around three bases on balls to tie the game at 5-5. The big blows were a triple by Steve Peak for two RBI's and a wild pitch by the Rickards' pitcher scoring Peak and tying the game. The game remained knotted at five-all through regulation play, forcing an extra inning. Kevin Watts led off in the bottom of the eighth, getting on base by an error. He was then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by David Miller and later got in scoring position off a wild pitch. Chuck Pollock sent the fans home happy as he laced an 0-1 pitch up the middle for the game winning hit, scoring Watts. The win against Rickards evened the Sharks' season at two wins against two losses. Steve Peak went the dist- ance, not allowing a run after the third, as he picked up his second win of the young season. Six hits were register- ed by the Sharks: Tim Beard and Chuck Pollock got two each; Steve Peak and David Fowler, one each. SMASH TIGERS Freddie Woullard made his pitching debut in style Tues- day, pitching a no-hitter against the Chipley Tigers on their home turf. In fashioning the no-hitter he gave up two walks and struck out 11 hitters. One error was regis- tered by the Sharks, allowing only three Tigers to reach base during the 9-0 win. The Sharks' first runs came in the fourth inning as Allen Sisk walked, Castledera Gant doubled and Tim Beard was walked, loading the bases. This set the 'stage for, a dramatic grand slam ,home run by Kevin Watts, making the score at the end of four innings, 4-0. 'The Sharks struck again in the fifth. David Fowler led off with a single and Chuck Pollock, Allen Sisk and Ashley Abrams were sent to base with walks scoring the first run. Castledera Gant was then hit by a pitch providing the second score. Tim Beard hit into a fielder's choice for the third run. Watts added an- other off a single and Freddie Woullard aided his cause with a sacrifice fly capping the scoring for the game.

Lamberson said most peo- ple run for one of three reasons: exercise, lack of pep and just because it is fun to run. Lamberson said research has shown that running three miles, three times a week, cuts heart attack possibilities by 65 percent. He said there is no known case of heart attack to a distance runner. In making his case, Lam- berson said a person gains a pound of fat and replaces a half pound of muscle tone with fat each year after he reaches the age of 25, if he doesn't do something to reverse the problem.
