" ' � " . - * ' , , - , in � '- On La-Pacific's New Chip Plant Louisiana-Pacific, which announced three weeks ago plans to build a wood products plant here in Port St. Joe, are not wasting any time in getting their announced plans into an operating reality. Work is now well underway on construction of the plant at the old Lions Club horse arena site on Highway 71, just outside Port St. Joe. The plant, which will initially furnish chips to St. Joe Paper Company's paper mill here, will take long logs coming into the city, and turn them into the chips, as well as sort out some for lumber production. According to officials involved in the operation, all long logs which are now going to the paper mill directly, will be diverted to the new mill. Louisiana-Pacific will also haul logs into the new plant for grading, sorting and chipping. Construction of the new plant is expected to be completed by about June or July of this year, at which time it will go immediately into production. In the photo above, some of the steel framework of the new mill is shown going up into place. In the photo above, road working equipment prepares the access road to the new plant. -Star photos About six months ago, the City Commission increased the charges for cutting off and restoring water service to delinquent customers, to cut down on the number of people who are regularly delinquent in paying their water bill. At the same time, the City initiated a new process in the disruption of water service in order to make the cut-off threat more effective. For a while this system worked. The number of delin- quent bills went down drasti- cally. Now, the situation is reversed. The City had been calling delinquent customers, telling them their water was about to be shut off, but customers were still going the full route, forcing the City to shut off their water for payment. This resulted in people coming into the City Hall just at closing time to pay their delinquent bills in order to have their water cut back on. The turn on fee was $5.00, but it cost the City two hours of overtime to go out late in the day to turn the water back on. Commissioner James B. Roberts told the Board Tues- day night, "The number of delinquents has now increased to the point where we are spending at least three hours a day on the phone about cut-off time telling customers they need to come pay their water bills or their water will be cut off". * In other words, it is now costing the City more than it is getting in cut-off and late fees to cut the water back on. "Sometimes it costs us more than the fees and the water bill brings in", Clerk Alden Farris interjected into the conversa- tion. . To remedy the problem, the Commission has decided not to call people when their water bills are late, but to automati- cally cut them, off when the cut-off time arrives. The wa- ter will be cut back on for a $5.00 fee, plus a $1.00 delin- qent fee. But, if it is necessary to cut the water back on after 5:00 p.m., the cut-on fee will be $10.00 to pay for the overtime charge. RADIOS For some time the City has been trying to get a grant to place radios in the City fire trucks. For the past two years, the City has failed to get the grant, as the grant money always runs out before Port St. Joe's name comes up. The City already has a base station for the fire depart- ment, which was received through a federal program. Tuesday night, the Commis- sion decided to call for bids for two mobile units to place in the fire trucks, in order to complete the communications system. The base station will be operated by the Police dis- patchers from the Police Station. The two radios are expected to.cost about $2,900.00. CITY LIMITS The Commission discussed the extension of the City Limit lines Tuesday night, but no initial step has been taken as yet. The Commission is aware of a need to extend the limits, but was undecided as to what Jogger Sti Car Tuesd Robert Whittle, age 45, of 1316 Garrison Avenue, was injured when he was struck by a car Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Niles Road and Garrison Avenue. According to Deputy Sheriff Carmelita Gant, who investi- gated the accident, Whittle was jogging along Garrison Avenue, approaching the in- tersection. Henry Marden McClamma, of St. Joe Beach, was travel- ing south on Niles Road when he apparently ran a stop sign step to take first. Tuesday night, Mayor Frank Pate directed the at- torney, William J. Rish, to provide the Commission with the law governing extension of the limits. When the procedure is out! lined for the Commission, the distance to be considered will be decided upon and initial steps taken. PATROL CAR The Commission voted Tuesday night to call for bids for a new police patrol car. (Continued on Page 3) ruck by lay P.M. and hit Whittle. Whittle was taken to Port St. Joe Municipal Hospital for emergency treatment b$ the Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance squad and then transported on to Gulf Coast Community Hospital in Pam- ama City for further examina- tion. Whittle suffered cuts about the face and shoulder and arm injuries. Deputy Gant charged Mc- Clamma with running a stop sign. School Board Sets Plans In Motion for Wewa Building Wewahitchka Elementary School and the new auto mechanics department at We- wahitchka High School will be utilizing some $900,000 of the * Thieves Enter Store Thieves broke into Camp- bell's Drug Store early Mon- day# morning, but apparently were scared off before they could take what they were looking for. According to Police Chief Roy Robinson, the thieves broke into the back door of the Reid Avenue drug store, but took only one bottle of pills for their trouble. Robinson said patrolman Gary White was making his rounds early Monday morning and thought he saw a move- ment in the alley back of the store. He went down the alley to investigate and found the back door of the drug store open. According to Carl Guilford, owner of the store, only one bottle of pills was taken. Guilford said, "They were persistent. Some time recent- ly they tried to break into the store by chopping a hole in the roof. We didn't even know it until the last rain we had, when the water started to pour into the store. We investigated the roof and found the hole chopped in it." The thieves didn't get all the way into the store that time. Gulf County system's state capital outlay funds over the next 20 years, according to decisions made at the School Board meeting Tuesday. The new auto mechanics building is rapidly nearing completion at the High School vocational site, but work on new rooms for the Elementary School classes will be a gradual process over the next few years, according to the Board's plans. For the past several years, the Board has been committed to abandoning the old school site in Wewahitchka on High- way 71, which is now being utilized as the elementary school. Growth at the school has necessitated, the addition of several temporary class- rooms at the site to accommo- date the student population. This particular school is grow- ing faster than any other school in the county. Plans of the Board are to expand and develop the pres- ent Linton School site for an elementary complex. Present- ly, the Linton School houses only Kindergarten and first grade classes. Initially, the Board is making plans to expand the school site to handle K-3 classes. Tuesday, the Board viewed plans for 12 new classrooms to be built on a piece-meal basis at the Linton site as money becomes available through the state capital outlay plan. Other plans are to encumber 80 percent of the capital outlay fund for the next 20 years, to finance the construction. "Right now, we are making plans to move the two elemen- tary grades to the Linton site, with our ultimate goal of moving the entire elementary operation to the site", Super- intendent Walter Wilder said. There will be no construc- tion on the project for a while, yet. First, the proposed plans must be submitted to the State Department of Education for their final approval. "We just have preliminary plans at this time", Wilder stressed. Wilder said that if every- thing works as it should, construction on the new class- rooms should be under way within six months. Truck Stops Traffic This log truck had more than its body could bear Monday morning, as it was approaching Port St. Joe with a load of pulpwood. The truck, owned by Argel Green of Kinard was coming up on the approach to the draw bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway at White City when the trailer on which the logs were loaded, broke in the middle. The accident halted traffic for some time, while the truck could be repaired and moved out of the way. In the photo above, workmen are shown jacking up the trailer into position so it can be welded and reinforced back into position, so it can be moved. -Star photo i , Champs! Port St. Joe's Sharks won three straight games against some tough opposition over the week end to win . - the Gulf Coast Conference basketball crown. In winning the crown, the Sharks defeated Havana, Chattahoochee and Wakulla. Both Wakulla and Chattahoochee had defeated the Sharks once each during the regular season of play. The small but fast Sharks had put on their biggest scoring spree of the year Thursday night, to rout the Havana Gladiators, 92-62. Friday night, they edged out Chattahoochee, 68-66 and took the Championship against Wakulla Saturday night, 53-40. The three wins ran the Shark's season record to 16 wins against five losses. Other than the Chattahoochee and Wakulla, the losses all came at the hands of larger .,- .schools. .

Thanks Canada, we needed that! We needed to know that in these uncertain times that we did not stand completely alone in a desire to oppose those forces which inhibit the freedom of men. :- Our good neighbors to the north proved - what good neighbors they were last week by risking themselves to smuggle six of our American diplomats out of Iran, in broad open daylight, under the very noses of the Iranians. The Iranians, of course, were very indignant and labeled the Canadians as world criminals for daring to perform such a "criminal" act. A classic example of the old Bible admonition of seeing the splinter in the other [: person's eye while not being able to see the Sbeam in their own eye. Holding American :._people hostage is not a criminal act of world .proportions in the eyes of the Iranians, we i:suppose. The United States has always considered -:.Canada one of our busom buddies, but it is still ^xa surprise to have another nation pull our chestnuts out of the fire for us, with no urging our part. - That's one of the better aspects of the Canadians' act: they did what they did at no urging on our part. As a matter of fact, their good deed was a complete surprise even to America. One of the things which probably made it such a surprise to the Iranians made it a surprise to us, also. Who would ever dream that a nation would risk its reputation with other nations by speaking up for or committing an act in favor of the United States? Even our so-called friends usually use us for what they can get out of us. There was considerable risk in what the Canadians did. They kept the Americans hidden away in the homes of their diplomatic community for nearly three months before they were able to spirit them out of Iran* Even then, they had to close down their embassy and move all their people out in order to accomplish the escape of the Americans. If they had been caught by the Iranians, there is no doubt but what the American hostages would be joined by Canadian hostages, or even worse. In our opinion, our entire nation owes Canada for this one. If we can ever do them a favor, we should do it, immediately. When a nation has a few friends like the Canadians have proven to be, he can stand a few enemies like Iran with no problem. Men of Every Generation Have Had to Fight After an initial approval of the President's tough stance following his address to the nation two weeks ago, many of the youth who would be affected by a call to the draft registration have now come out opposed to such a move. This saddens us that any sizeable segment of our youth would not be willing to do what they could for their country. We can understand their not wanting to answer a call to conscription when the nation's future is not in danger, but when we face what we face now, it should be the privilege of every man to do his part to preserve our way of human rights for all men. We can't but wonder, with this reluctance to offer their service, what would have happened in the past history of this country if the young men of other generations had said, in effect, "Hell no, we won't go"? Americans of nearly every generation have been faced with the task of fighting for our country. They have met the call on every occasion. We like to think the attitude of rebellion for service in the Vietnamese war was because of our announced goal of not trying to defeat the enemy. Apparently it was not. Our nation is worth defending. It is the best on the face of the earth, in spite of its shortcomings. We hope that as time goes by, our youth will realize this and change their attitude. urn Your Head and Close Your Eyes to Problems Thinks of Himself Dear Editor, :I would like to write this in Cpslionse to your editorial statement in the January 24, 1980 edition of the Star refer- ring to the "Junkyard" ordin- jipce for the Gulf County rural a-ea. .I, like you, feel that we should not infringe on the rights of our neighbors. While tiis might mean that I should Abt clutter my property and Make it unsightly for my twighbor to look at does this &ot also apply that he should Aet tell me what I can or cannot put upon my property (Or which I pay and pay taxes jpon? :.There are already state faws that covers public nui- jpnces under the State Health Department section of the State of Florida, if and when it becomes a safety and-or healthh hazard. Another point I would like to make is that while riding through the City of Port St. Joe, (of which already has such an ordinance as you prescribe for our rural area) I notice many eyesores. Under- stand, again, I am not com- plaining about what is on these lots. I feel the people who own and pay taxes on these proper- ties and articles are entitled to their freedom. However, what I am pointing out is that while this City of which you are a City Commissioner has such an ordinance, you fail to enforce, yet, try to place on me and my neighbors. Could this be because you don't want to lose the election? My advice to you would be please clean out your own back yard before trying to rake the leaves out of mine. I could go to the extreme and say if you think about it, nothing is beautiful to every- one. That is why the Lord made necks to turn, he also made eyelids to cover eyes, in order that we do not have to look at what we do not want to. Sincerely, Wallace F. Tillery (Ed note-If we had our way, the city would be cleaner than it is now. Since we have been on the Board, this particular ordinance has been enforced on at least four occasions. But, to pursue your example; since the city's ordinance is more stringent than the one planned for the county, and it has been violated to the point of invoca- tion on only four occasions, it makes us believe someone has misrepresented the power of the county's proposed ordin- ance. Also, your neighbor and mine pay taxes on their property and deserve to have their environs somewhat to their liking, too.) Sullivan Guilty of Omission Fb. Aa* 51900 bear Wesley: :I want to publicly make apologies for a very grave error made by me. I wish you iyould publish this in an effort fh give credit where credit is due and also to help me save face,. 1 I asked the Port St. Joe Garden Club to help decorate the Centennial Building for the (otary Club Charity Ball. They did, and did a marvelous job. They, along with the Wheelettes, made the Centen- nial Building look very nice. The Club raised about $1400 on the Ball and as previously committed, Dr. Simpson was given $700 for the pediatric care unit at the hospital. The remainder will be used to fix up the park across from the St. Joe Motel. Let me say again how much we at Rotary appreciate what the Garden Club and the Wheelettes did to make the Charity Ball a success. Yours truly, G. L. Sullivan P.S.-The Garden Club, repre- sented by Mrs. Shirley Ram- sey, president, has graciously committed to advise us at Rotary on how to fix up the park. ICensus Takers Just Want to See How Many People Live In the Nation 0~' I RECEIVED a sample copy of the n3ew census report all of us are expected to fill out for the government and return by mail on April 1. ? Glancing over the form, I was !gratified to learn the government is saving money. They didn't go out and hire a technician to write up the report. :ou can tell, when you get yours, they '-sed the same guy who authors the income tax reports. . If you have more than seven people jiving in your house, you will be in trouble. The report has space to report only seven people in one household. .There are no provisions or instructions Jor those who have more than seven in the household. So there is one problem, aright there. Unlike most government docu- mnents, there is no place on the form where it says, "Do not fold, spindle or .staple this form". So, if you want to fold -it, fold away. If you want to spindle it on Sour file, spindle your heart out. If you want to staple it shut and don't have a staple gun, I'll sell you one. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE too much trouble with the report. There are only six letter-size pages to read and fill out. Every page has from one to five questions to answer about each person in your household, plus several pages of questions about the abode where you hang your hat. (It doesn't ask if you have a place to hang your hat. I don't know how that one slipped by.) The form wants to know the age, name, birthday, marital status and education of everyone in your house- hold. They also want to know the sex and race, questions which employers are not allowed to ask. Before this thing is over, we just may have a class action suit or two about these questions. WHEN THE REPORT gets down to questioning you about your living quarters, it gets downright personal. For instance, the questionnaire asks if you have a bathroom and is that bathroom connected to public sewer, septic tank or cesspool or other means of disposal. I guess if you have a bathroom and use other means of disposal, that must mean an old fashioned slop jar. The form asks if you get your water from a public system, drilled or dug well or some other source such as a spring, creek, river, cistern, etc. I thought for a minute there last week end, we were going to be able to check that etc., since it looked as if we might be getting our water from melted snow or ice if the weather had kept up. I've done that, way back yonder, but the census people didn't want to know it then. Our more affluent people will be in trouble also on the census form. When asking the number of rooms in their house, there are check places for only nine. When asking about the number of bedrooms, the form allows for only five. They've narrowed the thing down pretty much. THE NOSE COUNTERS want to know such things as: Do you have a complete kitchen in your living quar- ters; do you have a telephone; do you have air- conditioning; how many automobiles are kept at home for use by members of your household? I'll have to answer "none" to this last question. None of our automobiles are kept at home for use by members of the household. They are all on the road. The census takers want to know what you use to cook with, heat water, heat your home and how much you pay for it. They also want to know how much you think your home is worth and how much you pay in taxes and insurance. To all of these questions, I'm going to answer, "too much!" The most stupid question on the report is, Do you have a mortgage, deed of trust, contract to purchase, or similar debt on this property? The obvious answer is, "Who doesn't?" THE BACK TWO pages get per- sonal, if you think it hasn't in the proceeding pages. You will find such questions as, What state or foreign country was this person born and did he come here to stay? How well does this person speak English? (with sub-titles in Spanish); Where was this person five years ago? Does this person have a physical, mental, or other health condition which has lasted for 6 or more months? Has this person been married more than once? Did this person work at any time last week? How many hours? How long did it usually take this person to get from home to work? Did this person drive, share a ride, etc., in getting to and from work? Has this person been looking for work during the last four days? And, of course, the report wants to know how much money you made, interest dividends, royalties or rental. income you received. So now you see just how pertinent the census form is. Be sure to fill yours out correctly, since the government sorely needs all this information to see how many people live in the nation.

As a result of missing the year in purchasing a new car, the bulk of the police car fleet is now getting on up in age.

The employees are now under the new minimum wage limit. Fourteen Congressional seats could change hands among the states after the 1980 census, with the South and West gaining all of them, ac- cording to new population estimates by the Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Census Bureau at- tempts to continually keep up with state population changes through illustrative projec- tions, or estimates, on an an- nual basis. The latest projec- tions now show that the West would gain eight of the seats and the South six seats in the 1982 reapportionment. Since the House of Representatives would retain a constant number of 435 members, the losses would be in the North- east and North Central states. The law requires that new ap- portionment totals must be provided to the President by January 1, 1981. Early predictions indicate that the State of Florida will gain three seats while Califor- nia and Texas,. will gain .two 9 each. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, and Washington will gain one additional seat each. On the other side of the coin, however, New York will lose four seats. Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania will lose two each, and Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and South Dakota one each. Minor population changes can often make a big difference in the reapportionment. In fact, just two years ago, population trends indicated that the maximum number of changes would be eleven seats. In the redistricting process, the projections for district popula- tion will rise from approx- imately 450,000 per district to 506,000 per district. Needless to say, the addi- tional seats for the "sunbelt" will provide more votes on critical issues and hopefully more clout on these issues. This is why it is so very impor- tant for all citizens to fully cooperate with the census takers when they work in your area. * Choking Victims Recently I received a very nice letter from a registered nurse in our District pointing out the benefits of being trained to help choking vic- tims. "You people fund deductions and credits I didn't know about. I should come here last year." H&R Block preparers are care- fully trained to ask the right questions. They dig for every honest deduction and credit. And they want to make sure you pay only the taxes you owe. H&R BLOCK THE INCOME TAX PEOPLE 116 Monument Ave. S Phone 229-8536 Weekdays 8 AM - 6 PM Sat., 8-4 VA PENSION The Veterans Administra- tion reminded approximately 670,000 elderly veterans that it's time to recompute their income for this year to make certain it still meets VA pen- sion requirements. Pensions are paid to war- time veterans with non-ser- vice connected disabilities who meet income limitations, and to help their eligible widows and children. They must still report any changes in the number or status of their dependents and any increase which causes it to exceed the limit. All 50 states have toll free numbers that veterans can call for information and as- sistance concerning benefits. Florida's number is 1-800-282 8821. In her letter she pointed out that in one recent year the Na- tional Safety Council reported that 3,100 people died from choking. According to this nurse, the process of effective rescue of victims who have had their airway obstructed by at- tempting to swallow too large a piece of food can be learned in a matter of moments. She fur- ther noted that many public services offer instruction, in- cluding the American Heart Association, the Red Cross, some fire stations, and some hospitals. If any fee is charged by the teaching organization, it would only be used to cover the cost of printed materials for training. I am sure that many of you participate in civic organiza- tions or church groups which would provide an excellent forum for just such a training session. You may just save a life one day.

Fla. THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1980 Get Your Pruning Shears Ready, It's That Time of Year by':Roy Lee Carter County Extension Agent Late winter and early spring is -the time to prune many shi-ubs and small trees in the yard. Shrubs that bloom in summer and fall generally develop flowers on current seasons growth and should be pruned before the first flush of growth in the spring. Shrubs tEat bloom in the spring or winterr should be pruned im- miediately after flowering has finished. Pruning is practiced to maintain plant health, cAntrol plant growth, and encourage flowering and fruit- ing. These objectives should b* remembered as you prune. :Pruning should encourage pOant health, not plant disease. Therefore, it is important to prune properly using the correct pruning tools. For general cleanup hand pruning shears are used,, loopers may ISe used for branches up to one inch, a pruning saw can be based for larger branches up to one inch, a pruning saw can be ised for larger branches and hedge shears should be used to trim closely clipped hedges inly. All tools should be kept harp. Sharp tools not only cut easier but will not bruise the plant tissue. Bruising the glant causes slower healing of the wound and causes an increase in the probability of Udi�asc. A-Teclean cut should be made. his means the cut surface should have a smooth surface iat a rough one that looks as if e tissue has been torn or lied. Care should be taken it to injure the plant around ie cut, or rip or tear the bark rove or below the cut. The dombium layer, a thin layer of lls just below the bark which i~important in wound healing, ik easily injured. Do not twist turn the shears as you cut cause you will injure the lant as well as your shears. kPainting the wounds with tpee wound dressing has lately Come a controversial prac- &fie. The standard recom- enAdation has been to paint aQj.wounds over one inch in d(fieter with a quality tree iound dressing to protect the q�ut surface from woodrotting organisms and checking (rad- ial-cracking) upon drying. Some research has shown that upon exposure to the sun, the protective coating often cracks, and moisture enters the cracks and accumulates in *. , * pockets that may occur be- tween the wood and the wound covering. This situation would be even more inviting to nNK IYJ wood-rotting organisms than one with 'no wound cover. However, in situations where aesthetics are important, the practice is justified. If a pruning wound is to be protec- ted, allow it to dry before applying the dressing. This will improve chances of good *bonding. Examine the coating several times the first year. Repeat if the coating has cracked. Clipped hedges require a specialized type of pruning and may become a continuous job during the growing season. There are two important factors to remember about clipped hedges. The hedge should be clipped while the new growth is green and succulent. Also, the plant should be trimmed so that the base of the hedge is wider than the top so that light can reach the lower leaves. Unless a shrub is topiory, espolier, or part of a formal hedge it should not be closely clipped but allowed to develop into a naturolistic form. This does not mean that the plant should be left alone, but that pruning is done to enhance the natural beauty of the plant. The first step in pruning is to remove all dead, diseased, or injured branches. Once this is done it may be necessary to thin out the plant. Remove branches that cross each other or they will obviously become entangled. If the shrub still looks too thick remove some of the older branches. Remove any branches that are distinct- ly different from the rest of the shrub. Cut back excessive- ly long growth to a bud that is four to six inches below the average branch length. If you wish to reduce the size of the shrub cut back each branch four to six inches, to a new bud. Many of today's newspapers derive part of their name from the word gazetta, a small coin the 16th century Venetian govern- ment charged to read posted news bulletins. /,!

They were Rick Lamberson, James Hanlon, both running in the marathon, 26.2 miles, and Perry McFarland, running in the Mini-Marathon, a distance of 13.1 miles. The three were in unani- mous agreement that running in the Capital City Marathon which wound through the hilly section of Killearn Gardens in Tallahassee was quite differ- ent than running on the flat roads of Gulf County. The real test was "Killer Hill", an Thursday Nite Ladies' League Highland View Motors in- creased their hold on first lace by winning four games om Murphy's.

Mr. Hanlon finish- ed the race in four hours and 13 minutes, and according to him, "Not bad for a 40 year old, with this being the first time on the course."

How to Raise A Garden By Shelley Wood and Danny McGee Roy Carter, Gulf County Ex- tension Director, visited Mrs. Susie Cooper's second period Home Economics class at Port St. Joe High School. Mr. Carter talked with us about things to do to raise a good garden. On his first visit we went to our garden spot and took soil samples to have tested. The soil needed to be tested so we could know if we had sweet or sour soil. Our soil was sent to Gainesville and tested. The report showed us about our soil and the kind of fertilizer we needed. Last week, Mr. Carter show- ed us a film, in which we learned about putting insecti- cide into the garden to keep pests from stopping the growth of our plants. The film showed how to use a roto-tiller to plow and aerate the soil. We were shown how to plant seeds so vegetables could get enough sunlight and grow good. The students will water regularly in order to have a good garden, and we hope it will give us plenty of fresh vegetables for our use. ERA REAL ESTATE Each office independently owned and operated. C.

The machine was purchased through donations from citizens and organizations in Port St. Joe, in a program to up-grade the infant care facilities at the hospital. ' This unit is equipped with a phototherapy light, which helps prevent the need for transfusions for jaundiced babies and has built-in facilities to provide intra-veinous feeding for the infant, its own oxygen supply as well as heart and respiratory monitoring devices. "The biggest use to us will be using the machine to gently accustom the new-born baby from. the warm temperatures in its mother to room temperature", Dr. Simpson. Colossians 1:12-14; 2 Cor. 5:17 Key Word: Kingdom Living (Colossians 1:12-14) "giv- ing thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the domi- nion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (2 Corinthians 5:17) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" God has gone to great lengths, great cost, yes, and a tremendous amount of trouble to provide, the born-again Christian, with Kingdom liv- ing. Sometimes I think the thing that hurts our Father the most is our being unable to see or understand what He has provided for us. His only Son Paul Ropelis On President's List. Paul Ropelis of Port St. Joe made the President's List for the Fall semester along with 74 other students of Gulf Coast Community College. The highest'. possible aca- demic achievement at Gulf Coast Community College is represented by the Presi- dent's List. To qualify for this recognition a student had to carry a course load of at least 12 hours and maintain a 3.9 to 4.0 grade point average. "It's quite a shock for a baby to make this temperature transition so suddenly", she said. Dr. Simpson, who is in charge of pediatrics at the hospital said the machine will be used on every new-born baby to reduce the chances of problems with. the new-born from a variety of causes, as well as provide proper facilities for those babies which need extra care at birth. The group of citizens which raised the money for this machine are now in the process of raising funds to purchase a fetal heart monitor for the delivery room, which will equip Municipal's delivery suite as well as any hospital facility in the Panhandle with the exception of the neo-natal units in Pensacola and Tallahassee. -Star photo Jesus died to provide King- dom living for us. We still, after accepting Jesus as Sav- iour, continue to live in the same old pit as before. THERE ARE NO NEGA- TIVES. IN KINGDOM LIV- ING! We are the righteous- ness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Also, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says when we are born again we become a "new creation". "The old has gone, the new has come!" Praise God, this means that my sins are not just whitewashed, they are GONE! God says so "the old has gone." One problem we have is that too many of us THINK we know what God's Word says, but we do not take time to READ God's Word to KNOW what it says. If you are having trouble PRAY to God and His Holy Spirit will teach you waht the Word says. It really is time we get our lives in line with God's Word.

CALL TOLL-FREE " 1-800-241-7122 r Port St. Joe's Sharks used their superior speed and ball- stealing abilities to capture the Gulf Coast Conference Tournament from the Wakulla War Eagles here Saturday night in the tournament finals. The Sharks won the finals with a 53-40 score over Wakulla, who had defeated the Sharks in their only outing during the season. Three of the Sharks scored in double figures, with Castle- dara Gant leading the way with 18 points. Ricky Larry added 15 and John Pittman 12 in the winning effort. Stears led the War Eagles with 15 points. The Sharks racked up a 16-12 lead in the first period, but the War Eagles slowed the game down in the second period, with only eight points being scored by both teams. But the tactic didn't work for them. In the second half, the Sharks came out stealing and running. Gant started the period off with a steal and a pass off to Larry, who built the Shark lead with a basket. A tough defense by Larry, Pitt- man, Kenny Parker and Kevin Cherry all through the third period kept the War Eagles off balance. With 30 seconds left in the third period, Pittman rolled in with a field goal to build the Shark lead to seven points. With only nine seconds left in the period, he scored again, pushing the Shark margin to nine points. As the period buzzer sounded, the Eagles' Barwich hit a 40- footer to cut the Sharks lead back to seven. The Sharks waited until the last two minutes of the game to pull farther away from the Eagles, who had been staying within seven points of the eventual winners all through the last stanza. With a little over two minutes left, Larry hit on a driving lay-up to boost the Sharks to an 11 point lead. Gant followed with two free throws with 29 seconds left and then hit on a field goal withb nine seconds left to give the Sharks their final 13 point edge.

Castledara Gant and John Pittman all scoring more than 20 points in a 92-62 rout of the Havana Gladiators. John Pittman led the scor- ing pack with 26 points, followed by Larry with 24 and Gant with 22. The three combined for 72 of Port St. Joe's 92 points. Pittman added his 14 rebounds while Kevin Cherry pulled in 11 rebounds to control the backboards. Cherry also scored in double figures with 14 points. Barry Hannah led the Glad- iators with 14 points. The Sharks' big scoring machine started off slow, getting only 14 points in the first period while Havana was putting six on the board. They came to life in the second period, pouring 30 points through the nets. The winners also finished with a big splurge, putting 30 points on the board in the last period.

Using a full-court press in the third period, allowed the Sharks to get the lead they needed to push the Chattahoo- chee Yellow Jackets out of the tournament, 68-66. The Sharks started off con- trolling the backboards and ran up a 13-4 lead before two of the main guns of the Sharks, Ricky Larry and John Pitt- man got three quick fouls to their credit. Pittman fouled out about mid-way through the last period. At half-time, the Jackets had a close 33-31 lead. With a minute and a half left in the third period, Pittman, Kenny Parker and Castledara Gant started 'a full-court press on the Jackets, causing four turn-overs which netted the Sharks six points and the lead in the game. The Sharks continued their tight defense and the shooting of Kevin Cherry in the last period to down the Jackets. The Sharks had a seven point lead going into the last minute of the game which the Jackets were unable to over- come in a last-minute splurge. Castledara Gant and Kevin Cherry paced the Shark scor- ing with 19 points each. Ricky Larry added 16 and John Pittman 11.
