No injuries were reported. -Star photos Water Spout Strikes Highland View Rapidly changing temperatures Tuesday night and unstable weather conditions spawned a water spout in St. Joseph's Bay and the spout roared into the Highland View area about 1:30 Wednesday morning, according to the Gulf County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Ken Murphy said the spout crossed Highway 98 near Second Street in Highland View, coming from the southwest:; The spout stayed in the air, and didn't touch down on the ground until it reached the extreme eastern end of Fourth Street, when it slammed into two mobile homes at the end of the street, owned by L. C. Wood and Charles Posey. Still the spout didn't cause as much damage as it could have. The spout lifted a porch from the backside of the Posey home and tossed it over the home into the front yard, demolishing the shed. A shed in the Posey back yard was blown next door, where it struck the rear of the Wood residence, knocking out some windows in the home, damaging the sides and pushing the home awry on its foundation. The spout tossed all loose objects in the vinicity shelter skelter, tossing roofing tin up into trees and sending objects in the yards of the two homes off through the surrounding area. Sheriff Murphy said the occupants of the home didn't report the damage until 7:00 a.m., Wednesday morning. There were no injuries. Danny Kennedy, who lives adjacent to Highway 98 near the corner of Second Street in Highland View, said he heard the spout- come over his house, "like a roaring train". Kennedy said, "It scared the starch out of me". Kennedy, too, went back to sleep after the spout passed overhead.

Patrolmen Phil Mc- "eod a and Deputy James Mock Arrested William Filmore, age 21, at the corner of Avenue C and Main Street. Lorenzo Dunn, age 21, was arrested a few minutes later on Main Street by Sgt. James McGee. Ninety dollars of the money has been recovered. The two men had gone to the service station to get some anti-freeze. While Dunn was talking to the station opera- tor outside, Fillmore alleged- ly went inside the station and removed $112 from the cash register. They fled in a red Ford pickup. The two were taken to the Gulf County jail and booked for grand theft, after they were apprehended. matter of business when they re-convened was a request for another ordinance. This time, Margaret Biggs of White City, asked the Commission to adopt an or- dinance prohibiting the dump- ing or storage of any nuclear wastes or other poisonous or hazardous substances in Gulf County. Mrs. Biggs said her request would head off any attempt to locate a talked-about nuclear and hazardous substance waste storage area for north Florida in Gulf County. The Board agreed unani- mously to introduce the ordin- ance, which must be adver- tised for a public hearing before it could be adopted. Mrs. Biggs then asked the county to request other' north Florida counties to adopt the same ordinance. WATER MATTERS County Administrative As- sistant, Tommy Pitts told the Board that Mexico Beach has requested a permit from the county to install a water distribution system in Beacon Hill. Pitts said the permit request and plans were all in order and recommended the request be granted. Mexico Beach has just re- cently installed a large water main through Beacon Hill and to Gulf Aire Estates. The Board agreed to grant the permit, but with the stipulation that the system be installed before the streets in the subdivision were repaved under a planned paving pro- ject. "There will be no cutting of the streets after they are paved", the Board agreed. In other water matters, the Board was notified by Stubbs and Hannon, Realtors, of Tallahassee, developers of Cape Breeze Estates on St. Joseph Peninsula that they were making plans to put down a six inch water well and install a distribution system to points and developments on the Peninsula. The developers had consid- ered running a water line from the city of Port St. Joe to the peninsula for a water supply. Attorney Rish advised the Board they had no decision to make on the matter before them. "Your acceptance of a subdivision plat from them stipulated they inform you of how they intended to supply the area with water. They are informing you of a plan they (Continued on Page 8) duPont Estate to Hike Donations Trustees of the Alfred I. duPont estate agreed last week to start making hefty donations to Delaware and Florida charities for crippled children and the elderly, averting a series of lawsuits against the $1.1-billion estate, according to a story from the Associat- ed Press. Attorney General Jim Smith said he, Jacksonville State Attorney Ed Austin and Delaware Attorney Genieral Richard S. Gebelein negotiated the agreement on behalf of beneficiaries of the will of the late du Pont. The agreement was signed in Jacksonville by the trustees and Circuit Judge Thomas D. Oakley. Gebelin filed suit against the du Pont estate last year, claiming 91-year- old financier Edward Ball of Jackson- ville and. other trustees of the charit- able trust weren't donating enough money to Delaware charities, as required by the du Pont will. He noted the trustees have paid out only about $5 million a year since the death of du Pont's widow in 1970 made the estate a charitable trust. The only year they exceeded that amount was in 1978, when the trustees donated $21.6 million to various charities as well as $34 million to build a hospital for New boiler utilizes pitch by-product for fuel. crippled children. Florida law requires charitable trusts to disburse 3 percent of the value of their assets each year. That means in 1979, when the value of the trust was estimated at $1.1 billion, donations should have exceeded $33 million. Austin and Smith also threatened to file suit against the trustees last -year for not carrying out instructions of du Pont's will. Austin chastised the trustees for bickering about who should be in charge of the estate. The estate owns and operates St. Joe Paper Company here in Port St. Joe. -Star photo A local firm is taking strong measures to meet the oil crisis. Sylvachem Corporation is currently installing a boiler at its Port St. Joe plant to utilize an alternative fuel called pitch. This new boiler facility will immediately reduce Sylvachem's dependence on oil by approxi- mately one-half, according to R. H. Bennett, Operations Manager. Pitch is a Sylvachem by-product from the distillation of crude tall oil, which is itself a paper mill by-product. The end products from the tall oil distillation process at Sylvachem find many uses, including paints, adhesives and printing inks. The pitch by-product also finds many uses in the market place, but because of recently increasing fuel oil prices it is becoming more valuable as a fuel. Other by-products are also being considered as fuels, potentially reducing even further the dependence on fuel oil and natural gas. Because of the urgency of the current oil crunch, Sylvachem has undertaken this project on a crash basis. Engineering work began on the boiler last October, and the company plans to start operating the facility in February. The project is being managed and engineered by James Loyless and Blaine Casali of Sylvachem's engineering department. Sylvachem is a joint venture between SCM Corporation and St. Regis Paper Company. The new boiler facility meets all regulations of the Florida Department of Environmental Regula- tions and has been granted all applicable permits. Sylvachem Cuts Oil and Gas Use I L N WIPF Editorials and Opinions THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1980 Getting too Crowded to Infringe On Our Neighbors How would you like it if the property shown in the accompanying photograph was located next door to you? You wouldn't like it, would you? But, if you happen to live in Gulf County, outside the limits of the two municipalities in the county, you could very well be faced with such a neighbor. If you ever are, there is : nothing you can do about it, except grin and bear it. There is no law against your neighbor creating a mess next to your property, regardless of the number of vermin such a condition is breeding. By the time this page is printed, the County Commission, in all likelihood will have considered an ordinance to prevent such a nuisance, prepared for them by their attorney, .at the Commission's request. If the Commis- :sion has agreed not to adopt their present :version of an anti-nuisance ordinance, they ;should not let the matter lie idle for any amount of time, but immediately start work :on another version of a related ordinance. At the first public hearing on an :anti-nuisance ordinance, one visitor remarked :the reason he lived outside the municipality ,was so he could live as he pleased. The actual :fact is that a person has less likelihood of 1"living as he pleases" outside a municipality :in Gulf County than those who live within the :regulated boundaries of the two cities. In most :of Gulf County, one lives as his neighbor decides. If a neighbor decides to live like a slob and the other neighbor wants a nice, neat place in which to abide, guess which one gets his way! Nobody is trying to give anyone a hard time in the county. It is the duty and responsibility of everyone who lives in the county, even those who wish to live as they want to, to respect their neighbors by keeping their property neat and free from debris which attracts and provides a breeding place for vermin. Nobody is trying to hard-time anyone into doing away with their "good junk". There are ways to collect and keep things without being a blight on the neighborhood. Being a blight on the neighborhood is all the ordinance addresses, and because of this, we think it is a good ordinance. Nobody wants to dictate to another what he can and cannot do, but when a person begins to infringe on the rights of his neighbors, he is in the wrong and the wronged neighbor needs some sort of recourse. The County Commission unanimously agreed the county needed some sort of anti-nuisance ordinance for protection of health and ascetic reasons. One was adamant- ly against the proposed ordinance and another didn't know whether he favored that particu- lar model or not. We're not particular whether or not they adopt the present version, but we think it is the duty of the Commission to adopt some sort of guidelines to control what is now uncontrolled practices of disposal of unwanted items throughout the county. We think this is one of the duties of the County Commission. We're getting too crowded to throw our garbage out of the back door and just let it lie there until it rots. We're getting too crowded to allow old half-burned buildings to stand as a stark reminder that the property owner does not have enough pride in his environs to clean up the mess. We're getting too crowded to infringe on the rights of our neighbors. Agent Reports On By ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Agent insects about an eighth of an 1 inch long.

Jesus died and rose again to pay the penalty of our sin and separation from Him. He paid it ALL. Nothing more is owed. And we are CLEAN. The third verse above is clear on this.

Another juices gourmet is he aphid. Aphids usually are ess than eighth of an inch ong. They're pear shaped, nd are found in many colors.

Scales are covered with a waxy material, ny may be circular, oblong, )r pear-shpaed, look for scales n both sides of leaves, and on wigs and branches, as well. on't overlook the services of wings or leaves, because scales often hide there. Whiteflies, although rarely found indoors, occasion- lly are found on house plants. these pests, which resemble ny moths, are about one-six- eenth of an inch long. And, as ie name implies, they're hite in color. You can usually ll if you have a whitefly problem by gently shaking the ispected plant. If whiteflies re present, they'll swarm round the plant for a few ,conds. They also can be rund on the undersides of the aves. Like most insects, they image plants by sucking out vital juices. Other house plant pests include Fungus gnat mag- gots, springtails, and psocids. These soil-borne pests cause little or no damage, but large populations may become a nuisance. Fungus gnat mag- gots are a quarter of an inch long, and are shaped like worms. Springtails may be anywhere from microscopic in size to a fifth of an inch long. They're usually white in color, and they jump when they're disturbed. Psocids are gener- ,.ally smaller than a sixteenth of an. itChlg.i I grayish in color, and they may, or may not, have wings. Thses are the most common pests which attack house plants.

The lady in South Florida was a ETAOI divorced mother of two children. Her car had struck another in the rear and at the time of the arrest, she was suffering from a bad gash across her nose. Subsequently, the mother, who was the sole support of her children, was sentenced to serve one year in jail for kicking the policeman on the shin. Now we're going to play the judge and jury. Who was the most guilty? the judge who sentenced the lady to jail for a year, or the policeman who slapped the handcuffs on an accident victim? Sounds more like Iran than the United States of America. ++ + CHRISTMAS CAME TOO EARLY this year. Somebody gave Frenchie and I a little gadget which will poach, boil or hardboil two eggs and automatically turn off when the eggs are cooked. It's a cute little gadget to add to the collection, and we use it on occasion for the morning egg.. when we have eggs for breakfast. Had Christmas waited only two weeks more to come along, the person or persons iwho gave us this egg cooker could have given us an egg scrambler. Some inventor has come up with an electric gadget which will scramble an egg... in the shell. When you break the egg which has been subject to the machinations of this gadget, it is perfectly homogenized and ready for putting in the pan for an instant scrambled egg. The world needed that machine. One of life's longest moments and most tedious tasks is the 30 seconds it takes to take up a fork and whip up an egg for scrambling. Now, we are relieved of another chore. Let's hear it for the in-shell egg scrambler. It will surely go down in history of important inventions along- side the light bulb, sewing machine and apple peeler. OUR VOTE for "Mr. Charisma" of the year goes to Hodding Carter, with the state department. His image fairly zings out of the TV when he appears in his periodic press appearances to give us the latest on the situation in Iran. He exudes interest, enthusiasm and a large portion of blah. WHY CAN'T THE advertising market burst into bloom like the gold market has done? I don't have any gold, but I do have a smidgen of advertising space I could sell each week. The only things which seem to go up are the things I have to buy. It looks like the law of averages would catch up to me sooner or later and something I had to sell would take off into the wild blue yonder and I would make my bundle. The precious metals market is getting to my pocketbook. Last week, a supply' salesman came in and announc- ed, with a poker face, like he was giving me the time of day, that the photogra- phic paper and film we use so much of around here, will increase by 75 percent in price this month. Seventy-five percent increase at one time. Every letter of type we set, every picture, every page we print, every illustration we use, must use a piece of photographic paper or film to get into print. The papers and film are a basic in our business, and it takes a 75 percent jump in one day. Life is getting tedious. The only thing good about the metals market is that the United States is getting out of debt. With our horde of gold at Fort Knox, and the increasing price of gold, we'll be able to pay off the national debt in just a short while, if we can find anyone with enough money to buy the gold.

THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1980 Sharks Have 5-Day Win Streak Edge Out Bay High, Wewahitchka, Apalachicola Port St. Joe's Sharks tamed the Bay High Tornadoes here last Thursday night, dumping the Bay County team, 58-49. The Sharks jumped off to a 18-12 lead in the first period and were never behind. The Tornadoes out-scored the Sharks in only one period, the second, when they put only two more points on the board than did the Sharks. The Port St. Joe quintet had a 32-28 bulge at half time. Ricky Larry paced the Sharks with his 18 points. Kevin Cherry added 14 and Castledara Gant 13 in the winning effort. Score by quarters: Port St. Joe 18 14 14 12-58 Bay High 12 16 12 9-49 PORT ST.

The Sharks came from a one point deficit in the first period last Saturday night, to a 59-53 win over the Wewahitchka Gators. The Sharks had lost to the Gators earlier in the season here in Port St. Joe. Before the first half was over, the Sharks had ran up a six point lead and added an additional point to their mar- gin in the last period for their ninth victory of the year, against four defeats. Castledara Gant was the big gun for the Sharks, pouring in 22 points. Other Sharks in double figures were Kevin Cherry with 14 points and Ricky Larry with 13. Tim Taunton led the Gators with 15 points. Memphis Keith added 14 and Allen Jackson, 11. Score by quarters: Port St. Joe 10 18 14 17-59 Wewahitchka 11 12 14 16-53 PORT ST.

The Sharks picked up their fifth win in a row Monday night against a stubborn Ap- alachicola team, winning 74- 67. The Sharks jumped off to a seven point lead in the first period, and added another seven points to their margin in the second. Apalachicola bounded back in the last stanza of the game, to put 25 points through the bucket, to cut down the commanding Shark lead. John Pittman led the Shark scoring with 24 points. Ricky Larry added 23 and Castle- dara Gant 13 for the Sharks. Pittman, at 5'11" has been carrying a big defensive load for the Sharks this season and had an outstanding record this past week. Pittman grabbed 19 rebounds against Bay High and 20 against the Wewa- hitchka Gators to lead the Shark defense in two close SRoad Runners Meet The St. Joseph Bay Road Runners met for their month- ly meeting on Thursday night, January 17th at the public library building. The featured speaker for this month's meet- ing was Tom King, manager of The Phidippides store in Panama City, which special- izes in running shoes and accessories for the casual jogger or the serious running competitor. Tom, who is an experienced runner, and who has competed in seven marathon running events (26.2 miles), spoke to the 18 persons at the meeting about such topics as how to begin a jogging program, how to keep jogging once you've started, how to avoid injury, and how to get started in com- petitive long-distance running events. After the meeting he helped those present with any questions or problems that they had experienced in their own personal jogging pro- grams. Plans were discussed during the meeting about the 5,000 meter race to be held here in Port St. Joe on March 29th and FARM BUREAU Insurance Companies Life -Fire -Auto MARKPELT, Represei.tative: Monday, Wednesday, Friday in Port St. Joe 412 Monument Avenue Phone 227-1684 Tuesday and Thursday in Wewahitchka at Brown's Shoe Store Phone 639-2777 OFFICE HOURS: 9-5 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Third Street and Baltzell Avenue REV.

The Road Runners intend to make it a "race" for every- one, and beginning joggers are especially encouraged to participate. Following Thursday night's meeting, Perry McFarland, president of the local club, presented Tom King with a plaque in appreciation for the work he has done to popular- ize jogging and road racing in Northwest Florida. The St. Joseph Bay Road Runners will meet again on Thursday night, February 21st, at 7:30 p.m. in the public library building at the Gulf County Courthouse.

Mrs. Edith Stone Made Education Contribution A Delta Kappa Gamma Feature , Mrs. Edith B. Stone, wife of the late Nobie H. Stone, has Made a great contribution to public education by being a master teacher of English language arts for 37 years. Having received a degree from Georgia State College for Women, Mrs. Stone taught in Naples High School where her future husband was elected principal. After their marri- age, she retired from teaching to raise a family which in- cluded one son, Nobie, Jr., and twin daughters, Mabel and Mazie. Following her husband's death in 1949, Mrs. Stone resumed her teaching career. She taught for twenty-eight years in Naples High School and nine years in Port St. Joe High School. During her rewarding car- eer, Mr's. Stone was named Outstanding Teacher of the Year in 1967 by student selec- tion, and had yearbooks dedi- cated to her three times. Although she is now retired, Mrs. Stone continues to be very active. In the Daugh- ters of the American Revolu- tion she is parliamentarian and chairman of national de- fense. She is a member of the Port St. Joe Garden Club, the St. Joseph Historical Society, the Gulf County Retired Teachers Association, and the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. By being a member of the administrative board, an as- sistant teacher as well as president of the Women's Bible Class, a pianist on many occasions, and a member of the United Methodist Women, Mrs. Stone is serving the First United Methodist Church well. Currently Mrs. Stone is a member of the Beta Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa -Gam- ma. But she may hold some kind of record because she has been a member of six chap- ters: Iota, Zeta, Alpha Delta, Phi, Beta Kappa and Beta Beta. She has served as president of this organization for out- standing women educators for four years, and has held sundry other offices as well as chairing various committees. Mrs. Stone says, "I guess I'll always be a teacher even though I am retired. To me teaching was more than a career; it was an opportunity to help mold the lives of the youth of our nation. I feel that if I helped one child to be a better person, my thirty-seven years were not spent in vain." Mrs. Stone has indeed help- ed many children. She has molded many lives touched by her uncompromising stan- dards of morality, her sin- strength of this nation. She is cere desire to help young one who has helped to make it people, and her belief in the strong. Edith Stone sits at her piano.

Whiter Wilder, Supt. brary Building. requested his final payment in the amount of $2,000.00 on the original con- tract and $1.213.73 for install- ing letters for the name of the building, making a total of $3,213.73. By letter attached to this bill, the architect in- formed the Board that all work has been completed. In order to determine if there were liquidated damages that should be assessed against this bill, the Board voted to table it for study. The Sheriff asked the Board if it had information as to the legislation passed in the spe- cial session that provided funds to the Counties to pay for audits performed by certi- fied public accountants. He then requested that when the Commission employs an audi- tor, that the same firm be commissioned to audit his office. Mr. Jim Doyle, repre- senting the Apalachee Region- al Planning Council, discussed this matter and also informed the Commission as to the Intergovernmental Personnel, Act of 1970 and said the Planning Council has been awarded a grant to assist counties in this field. He presented a proposed resolu- tion that would enable the County to receive these serv- ices. No action taken.

Commissioner Branch told the Board if the new doors for the St. Joe Ambulance Build- ing were not received within the next few days, the order should be cancelled and an order be placed with a suppli- er that can deliver the doors. Commissioner Kennedy re- ported that he, with the Clerk and Attorney, attended the Apalachee Planning Council Meeting in Chipley on Novem- ber 30th. He said the most important item discussed was a that of the new Florida Power Corporation Generating Plant in that Gulf County is one of two sites for the plant. The Fla. Power representatives thank the County for what has decision as to where thd plant will be located. Commissioner Kennedy they urged the County to rush them any further information that would help in their decision as to where the plant will be located. Commissioner Kennedy complained about his Road Department work orders not receiving proper attention. He said many work orders filed after his have been completed and none of his have been started. The Chairman re- quested the Road Commis- sioner to investigate this com- plaint and inform Commis- sioner Kennedy as to why his projects have not received attention. Commissioner Tankersley- told the Board that at the last meeting he reported the ditches along Road C-30 being clogged up with pine tops and trash, caused by the pulpwood operation in that area; that nothing has been done to correct this problem. The Board requested the Clerk to contact the St. Joe Paper Company and request that these ditches be cleared of all debris caused by the pulpwood contractor. Commissioner Tankersley reported that some citizens have objected to him as to the priorities for the bond issue road paving project. He stated that most of the complaints have been concerning re- paving streets versus streets that have never been paved. The Chairman reported that the City of Wewahitchka has had a change in heart and has now reinstated the Recreation Program budget and the County was now requested to take the same. action.
