Mrs; Daniels was taken before County Judge David Taunton Thursday, morning, where she was charged with second degree murder and released on $1,500 bond. Ordinance Passed Tuesday William J. Branch, Jimmy Gortman and Eldridge Money took their oath of office on the Gulf County Commission Tuesday morning and started new four year terms on the Board. Both Branch and Gort- man are beginning their sec- ond successive terms on the Commission and Money is starting his second after a four year interruption. In re-organization, the Com- mission elected James Tank- ersley, in the middle of his first term, as chairman of the board, with Gortman to serve as vice-chairman. The Commission appointed all their supervisors to con- tinue in their present posi- tions. In his last official act as chairman, Doug Birmingham appointed two members to the Apalachee Planning Council, both of whom are required to be elected officials from the county. Birmingham appoint- ed Gortman as the elected county official to the Council and Mrs. Faye Cox, a city commissioner of Wewahitch- ka as the elected city official. Governor Bob Graham re- cently appointed James Costin of Port St. Joe as the citizen member to the organization. BEACH WATER Getting right into the busi- ness facing the county, the new board had a letter from Mexico Beach offering to meet with the Commission to dis- cuss installation of a central water service to St. Joe Beach, with Mexico Beach furnishing the water and distribution system.. The letter, from Mexico Beach Mayor Jim Heathcock, said Mexico Beach has re- ceived approval of a loan from Farmers' Home Administra- tion to put in the system, but needs some agreements with the county before they could begin construction. One of the things to be discussed is whether or not the system would be feasible and pay its own way. Commission Billy Branch noted that the county has contracted with engineers to make a feasibility study of the area with the view in mind of the county helping with crea- tion of a water district on the beaches for this purpose. The County had planned to put in a supply well at the beach to serve the area. * Branch suggested the coun- ty wait for the result of the feasibility study before pro- ceeding any further with Mexico Beach. "We can see better what we are talking about with the study in our hand", Branch said. PURSUE PERMIT Another long-time thorn in the Commission's side has been the long-running battle with the U.S. Corps of En- gineers, to get them to re-open Corley Slough, which has been stopped up with spoil from the Corps' dredging operations on the Apalachicola River. A letter from the Corps this week said they were -ready to open the slough as soon as they could get a permit from the State of Florida. The Commission asked their (Continued On Page 6) Time Changed for Christmas Parade The time has been changed for this year's version of the Christmas parade here in Port St. Joe, according to Kiwanis Club parade committee chair- man, Al Ray. , Ray said the parade, which had originally been scheduled for Saturday, December 6 at 2:00 p.m., has been changed to the same date at 10:00 a.m., so as not to conflict with the telecast of the Florida-FSU football game. Ray said that several en- tries have already been signed up for the parade, with several more promised. Ray said he felt this year's parade would be better than last year's, which saw one of the largest parades in several years. Ray urges all organizations, churches, clubs, youth groups, or others who plan to enter a float in the parade to contact him at the City Hall for advisement. Need Permit to Cut Streets The City Commission made it official Tuesday night. It is now illegal for any utility, service or contractor to cut a street in the city for burying or removing services or for any other reason without first getting a permit from the City. In the past, utilities serving the City have been able to use the utility easements along the streets without further per- mission, but a continuing problem with improper or no attempts made at patching cuts in the street, led to the ordinance which was passed Tuesday. What really prompted the passage of 'the ordinance was recent -action taken by the Gulf County Commission along the same lines as the document approved by the City Tuesday. The County came up with the permit plan to protect the large number of recently re-surfaced and pav- ed streets in the county. Under the plan, the County will have the last word as to whether or not a street is cut, and if it is, stipulate how a patch is to be made. The new City ordinance does the same thing, and is design- ed to protect the City streets from being cut and improper- ly repaired after a cut is made. The City became concerned when a construction company began cutting newly repaved' streets in Port St. Joe during the past month, to bury underground telephone cable for the St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company. The City had no ordinance on the books to govern the method of cutting or the repairs to be made. With the phone company's operation franchise, the City really had no rules or regulations allow- ing or denying permission to cut the streets. Homecoming Activities Planned Friday At School Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School will be 4 celebrating its annual Homecoming this Friday night, at Shark stadium, as they host the Florida High Demons. Festivities begin Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.n)., with a gala parade, which will have an added attraction this year. All of the Homecoming queens of the past 10 years have been invited, with a float provided for them to ride on during the parade. Later, they will be recognized at the Homecoming game. During the parade there will be an area marked off for all of the alumni to socialize with their friends. Fresh Florida oysters on the half shell will be provided for the enjoy- Star Will be Prin Early Next Week With the Thanksgiving holidays falling on Thurs- day of next week, the normal publication day of The Star, the newspaper will move up its publication date by one day next week.

Photo- graphs of the queen candidates are shown on page four of this week's issue of The Star. Schools Out ted Early Friday Gulf County School Board officials announced this week that there will be an early rint early, dismissal of school Friday for ll copy and Homecoming activities. [y.

The contractor is using a method of patching their cuts which the City feels will be adequate to prevent any fu- ture problems, but the same situation may not be true of the next one who cuts a City street. Under, the guidelines of the new ordinance, the City can have the final decision in such matters in order to protect the streets. THINGS CHANGE Change comes hard and one of the hardest changes the Commission has had to wres- tle with was an application from a young lady for employ- ment as a police patrolman for the Police Department. Chief Roy Robinson told the (Continued On Page 6) Tickets Go On Sale The annual Rotary Charity Ball will be held this year on Saturday, December 6, begin- ning at 9:00 in the evening, according to ball chairman, Bill Lyles of the Rotary Club. Lyles said tickets are alrea- dy on sale for the big event, by all members of the Rotary Club. The ball will be held in the Centennial Building, and music will be furnished by Ray Smith and the Mary Fast Trio. This music group has appeared at the ball for the past two years and have become favorites with the people in this area. Table reservations can be made in advance for the affair,, by calling Ted Cannon at the Florida First National Bank. Cannon will reserve a table for parties who wish to attend together. All proceeds from the ball are used by the Rotary Club in financing charitable and youth activities throughout the year. All the money raised by the ball is used for these purposes each year. Rev. Jerry Register, James Little and Leo Kennedy, represent the Men's Bible Class of the Highland View Baptist Church Tuesday morning, as they present the county with a wheel chair and a pair of crutches to be placed in the Gulf County Health Department for use by anyone who needs the implements. Shown in the background is County Commission Chairman Doug Birmingham, who has just received the aids from the three men. -Star photo 76 Answer Charges On Plea Day Monday of this week was plea day in Gulf County Circuit Court, with Judge Larry A. Bodiford presiding. There was a lot of pleading to be done, with a whopping 76 cases on the docket, 34 of which were set for trial in the fall session of court, which will convene on December 15, with Judge Bodiford presiding. With the large case load, 28 of the cases were continued to a later session of court.

The cakes are on sale by all members of the Kiwanis Club at $6.00 for a three pound cake. Rev. Johnie McCurdy, Ki- wanis Club chairman for the project said, "The cakes are the same excellent quality we have had in the past. The price has gone up a little, but the ingredients are still the same high quality and quantity." The Kiwanis Club used the funds from their annual fruit cake to finance Girl Scouts and other youth programs in the community throughout the year. ants for failure to appear in court.

Mrs. Smith took over her duties on the Commission Tuesday night, when she was sworn into office by Clerk Alden Farris at the regular meeting of the Commission. Mrs. Smith will remain in office until May of next year, when the voters will decide on another candidate to serve out the remaining year of Smith's unexpired term. He was elected for a two-year tenure in May of this year. The new Commissioner said she will definitely not be a candidate for re-election in the May primary. In the meantime, she said, "I will do my best to serve the City well during the few months I will be in office." < ______________ aml.- PRt Editorials and Opinions THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1980 Padlocks Becoming Best Selling Item In the Nation We feel, because we live in a small place where everybody knows everybody, that we are living in a place which is free from crime and we can relax on our security. Mostly, that feeling is a sure one, but actually, we can't be so sure that we do live in a little cocoon of isolation from the world that is tearing the throats of everyone who is foolish enough to allow himself to have an unguarded moment. It's true; you can get out at night and take you daily constitutional up the street, or around the block or through the park, and be reasonable sure nobody will mug you, nobody will attack you, nobody will rape you, nobody will slip a knife in your ribs or rob your home while you are gone. Actually we are pretty safe here in Port St. Joe for the time being. But when people will, just for the heck of it, break windows out of public or unoccupied buildings, steal flowers from the cemetery, the street median or any other public place as fast as they are planted, build a fire under an old railroad engine on display and on which the kids like to play, tear down solid doors to gain entrance just to mess up a place, steal guest books from the old cemetery and deliberately try to destroy the headstone of the man who brought yellow fever to old St. Joseph; when people will do these things . just for kicks can we be very far from having to lock ourselves in at night? You are just before telling us the police department should catch some of these people and make an example of them. We agree. The police should catch some of them, even though we are not going to be naive enough to expect them to catch all the perpetrators. That's an impossibility. With the number of vandalistic cases which bless our community each and every day, it does seem that the numbers would cause one to get caught every now and then. Catching isn't the thing, however. The thing is that we have people in our midst who have degenerated to the point where they have no respect for public or private property other than their own. It's a pity that our nation and our community should degenerate to the point where the best selling item in the nation is a padlock. County Farmers Have Helped Our Hunting As time has progressed and our bones get more brittle, we have begun to cut back on our hunting and traipsing through the woods. It's a pity, too, because it would seem to us that hunting is even better than ever here in Gulf County and has indications of getting even better. Like others, we thought when the farmers began to clear the swamps for cattle ranching and growing grains, the hunting would disappear along with the game. That isn't true. With the clearing of some of the swamps, more varieties of game are being attracted to Gulf County and the farmers are providing feed the existing game never had before. The hunting is there if the people don't abuse it. One of the favorite hunting pastimes of the sportsmen of this county is dove shooting. There are probably more men who shoot at doves than any other game species. In the past, the dove hunter has had to travel to Calhoun, Jackson or Washington counties to do their hunting. Now, with the advent of MK Ranches and FICO Farms here in Gulf County, we have places to hunt and the land owner is willing for people to hunt on their property. This situation will continue for only so long as the hunter doesn't take advantage of that privilege by doing damage to the lands on which he is a guest. We appreciate the opportunity to hunt on these lands and hope some schnook doesn't ruin it for all the rest of us. We all should be appreciative of the hospitality shown us from the land owners to help them police their property. -Doesn't Like Drive --to Panama City "LETTERS tth' .Editor u .' :, :S* ^ :'**:.5". "J :?, ( "'" *'*' ," -.W" Dear Editor: As we know our local hospital here in Port St. Joe * 'r has a very adequate labora- tory that can take care of most of our needs when it comes to laboratory work. It is very sorrowfull that some of us have to drive to Panama City to another hos- pital to have laboratory work done because the doctor here in Port St. Joe is not on the medical staff. The doctor here sends his patients to Panama City to have labora- tory work done and sends some of his laboratory tests off to another laboratory which could be done here in the local hospital very easily and also the hospital could benefit by it. This doctor is not on the medical staff in Pan- ama City either, but the hospital in Panama City is very helpful and eager to take care of the laboratory work that is requested by the doctor in Port St. Joe. I am one of those that has to have laboratory work done each month. If the City of Port St. Joe has to kick in $150,000.00 a year to the hospital funds because of financial difficulties it certain- aly appears to me if the hospital would accept lab- oratory work from a local doctor here this would ease some of the financial pro- blems they have. A concerned citizen, William Luttrell Governor Appoints Jim Costin to APC Board Rev. Donald H. Wilkes Special Service Speaker The annual joint Thanksgiv- ing service for the Port St. Joe area will be held Sunday night, November 23, at 7:00. There will be special singing from several of the local churches. Special guest -speaker will be Rev. Donald .Wilkes from the Christian Heritage Church in Tallahas- see. The public is cordially invit- ed to attend at the High School Commona area. Gulf County had one of 10 new members selected by Bob Graham to be members of the Apalachee Regional Planning Council, come from this coun- ty last week. In a move to dilute the governing board of the council with citizen members selected by the Governor, Jim Costin, of Port St. Joe, was one of 10 new members named to the planning council's governing board to serve with represen- tatives selected by county commissions from the coun- ties represented by the coun- cil. Apalachee is one of Flor- ida's 11 regional councils that was affected by Governor Graham's wish to have more citizen input to their opera- tions. The councils act as advisers to their member counties and cities in seeking federal grants coordinating regional activities. The Apalachee co- uncil serves Calhoun, Frank- lin,Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Wak- ulla, and Washington counties. The council has its head- quarters in Blountstown. The Apalachee council now will have 10 of its 30 members appointed by the governor, and the rest chosen by county commissions. The council for- merly had all its members chosen by the commissions. In addition to Costin, from Gulf County, Graham's selec- tions included: Edward Tolliver of Apala- chicola; Howard Odom of Marianna, Mitchell Larkin of Bristol, Jude Gibson of Chip- ley, Rufus Williams of Talla- hassee, Albert Lewis Buford, Jr., of Tallahassee, Cumi Vaughan Pullam of Bonifay, Carlton Smith of Blountstown and Michael Tyrone Clary of Quincy. Church Ladies Selling Goodies Ladies of the Church of God of Highland View will be having a Bake Sale this Friday, 10:00 a.m. until. They will have a delicious array of cakes, pies, brownies, and other delectable goodies on display in front of Bills Dollar Store. "The first duty of friendship is to leave your friend his illusions." Arthur Schnitzler I Think the Sun Should Have First Crack At Greeting A New DayAlone I HAVE NEVER been one to get up before the sun in the morning. I think the sun ought to have first crack at the day, since that is what God put the sun in the sky for. I'm not going to horn in on Mother Nature and God's plan for things. As a matter of fact, I'm one of those who stays in bed, getting that last five - wpks, until I make sure the sun is going to make it good and strong before I :begin stirring. I am definitely not a morning Person. There are a few misguided souls, who do not know any better, who do get up before the sun every morning. I'll have to tell you this from :hear-say, since I guarantee you I have :not been present to witness it first hand, :since it happens before the sun comes -up every morning and I'm still in bed. There is a group of men with guilty : consciences (it has to be so, else they would be at home asleep in bed) who get up and meet at Pauline's Restau- rant at 5:00 in the morning, every morning, to have their breakfast and : dawdle over a cup of coffee. Pauline doesn't even get up that time of the day and gave one of them the key to her place, telling him, "If you insist on coming to breakfast that time of day, every day, you open up and fix ETAOI breakfast yourself. That person is one Rev. Johnie McCurdy: other- wise a perfectly sensible and rational fellow. There are two other preachers who meet him there later in the morning, Rev. Ernest Barr and Rev. David Fernandez. Mixed in with these three sheep are several goats, one of which is Jimmy Cox. What all this is getting too, and, I admit, it's a long way around my elbow to get to my wrist: Rev. Johnie likes to take a chew of Red Man on occasion, like any other fisherman or hunter. They are all known to do that. Since Rev. Johnie and the Rever- ends David and Ernest are in such close communion with the early morning breakfast crowd, I assumed guilt by association last Friday night, even though I knew better than to do so. Rev. Dave sat in front of me at the football game. After half-time he came back up the stadium steps after visiting the concession stand, with a styrofoam cup in his hand. The cup was empty. The first thing which came to my mind was that Rev. Dave had also taken up chewing Red Man and had secured himself a spit cup. When he got to the top of the stadium, he tossed the cup aside. Just look at how easy it is to draw conclusions from the company one keeps. EDITOR BO McLEOD of Donal- sonville is crying hypocritical tears. He said last week in his paper that we should have a silent word of prayer for the liberal politicians who were booted out of office. McLeod says the prayer is needed because the recently deposed liberals will now be out in the job market with a lot of other folks. The biggest problem they will face, according to McLeod, is trying to live under all those foolish laws they helped pass. Talk about your poetic justice. ELDRIDGE CLEAVER has me worried, just like he does the writer of the "Names and Faces" column in the Tallahassee Democrat. Cleaver, once an anathema to the American way, has now changed his mind. He surprised everybody, including Ronnie himself, probably, when he came out in endorsement for Ronald Reagan for president. Cleafrer has always been more of a Eugene McCarthy, George McGovern, Birch Bayh type of political leaner. As if that wasn't surprise enough, Cleaver has now come out in favor of the peacetime draft and wants it reinstituted. Cleaver says, in favor of his new position, "You're not worth two dead flies if you're not willing to stand up! Our very survival is at stake! The Soviets are looking to knock us out ofA the box and take our place!" W Right on, Eldridge, I hear where you are coming from. NOT ONLY IS Eldridge Cleaver changing his philosophy toward this country and what is good for it, but so are many of today's youth. I see where E. Gordon Liddy, of Watergate fame now one of the hottest properties on the college lecture circuit. Can you feature that? Youth, almost to a man, was opposed to President Nixon and all who stood with or for him during his term as President. Now, one of his first lieutenants is their Don Quixote. What a change a few years in age will make, or a few years passed by on the calendar.

Mexico Beach. Patrick May, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave May, is the 1980 winner of the Voice of Demo- cracy contest sponsored by the local V.F.W. post. This year's theme for the scriptwriting contest is "My Commitment to My Country." "Students win more than awards and scholsrships when they participate in the V.F.W. Voice of Democracy Scholar- ship Program," said Com- mander George Coody of V.F.W. Post 10069, in duscus- sing the broadcast scriptwri- ting program conducted an- nually by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Ladies Auxilary. In the 19 years that the V.F.W. and its Ladies Auxil- ary have sponsored the Voice of Democracy Program, more than 3,000,00 high school stu- dent have participated. Part- icipants write and then tape- record a three-to-five minute broadcast script expressing Their views on their commit- ment to their country. From among the state winners, five national winners are chosen to receive a total of $31,500 in scholarships. Some of the fringe benefits, according to Commander Co- ody are increased self-confi- dence and poise, experience in communicating with others and valuable training in self expression. For the state winners, there is also the broadening experience of a five-day tour of Washington, D.C., and the opportunity to make lasting friendships with the other state winners. "One of the greatest bene- fits to young people who take! part in the program, is that by thinking, writing, and speak- ing up for their country, they gain a better appreciation of their obligation to maintain our nation's freedom herit- age," Commander Coody said. Patrick will now compete on a state level. The cooperation of WJOE will make it possible for him to present a high quality tape in the contest. Patrick is a junior at Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High School. First Baptist Church Hosts "M" "M" Night services will be held at the First Baptist Church Tuesday night, Nov. Timothy R.

What is the consumer to do? In plain terms, he should get to know the dealer with whom he does business. A personal relationship means trust and responsibil- ity, and the result is that the customer gets what he pays for-no fancy bargains that end up badly after the fine print is examined, and no hard sell tactics that often force even the intelligent shopper into a poor choice. We have based our business on these terms-trust and re- sponsibility. Get to know us, we are in the business of helping you. Come by today. of Port St. Joe. 204 MONUMENT AVE.

N eed Permit Sworn Ii attorney, William J. Rish, to write the Department of En- vironmental of Regulation, asking that the permit be expedited. COMPLAINT Charles Bostick of Wewa- hitchka voiced his objections to side effects from the county's current paving pro- jects in the black section of Wewahitchka. Bostick said the county is not doing enough paving in the area, and those areas which are being paved "are in a mess". He complained of .a mess made by recent rains where the pavers are working, conditions the pavers left the streets in as they worked and work not completed which has been started. Chairman Doug Birming- ham told Bostick that none of the paving projects, currently under way in the county, have been finished. "We can't com- plete the projects overnight and the contractor has to inconvenience some people for a period of time while the work is going on. That's just the nature of paving. We have the same problems all over the county where the work is going on and nobody can do anything about it." Birmingham assured Bos- tick his complaints would be taken care of when the work is complete. Bostick continued to berate the county about "not paying enough attention to our part of the county". Birmingham then pointed out that in the last two years the area Bostick was speaking about had received more attention, H.V. Elem.

THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1980 PAGE SEVEN Port St. Joe's Sharks couldn't cope with the blister-. ing second half air attack by the Wakulla War Eagles Fri- day night, and lost one of the better games of the season, 18-12. The Sharks made a few changes in their line-up this week, putting Ashley Abrams at quarterback to gain ad- vantage of his extra height and moved Chris Adkison to, end for his pass catching' ability and defensive quick- ness, all to good advantage. Abrams move to the signal- calling spot put an extra quickness in the running at- tack and Adkison hauled in a 38 yard pass to the Eagles' seven yard line to set up the Sharks second touchdown of the evening. The Eagles flew through the air on the combination of quarterback Mark Harrell to his ends Reggie Howard and Farrell Barwick, to pick up the major portion of their yardage. On the ground, the Shark defense completely shut off the running attack, allow- ing the high-flying Eagles only 75 yards all night long. The Eagles tried the ground route during the first half, but were able to pick up only one first down in the first period. The Sharks, while not able to move at will against the tough Eagles, still sustained a 56 yard drive in the first period, which saw Rozelle Jenkins and Ashley Abrams move the ball down the field, three and four yards at a time to the Eagle four, where Abrams slipped over for the first score of the game. A mix-up in the snap of the ball, kept Alan Sisk from kicking the extra point. As the second period open- ed, the Eagles put up a 77 yard drive, mainly through the air to put an answering six points on the board. William Sapp came around right end, break- ing two tackles to pick up the Eagles score on a five yard run. The extra point kick went wide and the score stood knotted at 6-6 with 6:59 remaining in the half. After two exchanges of the football, the Sharks put on their last scoring drive with' 2:40 left, and, sparked by the 38 yard pass to Chris Adkison, and a 26 yard electrifying run by Rozelle Jenkins, an excit- ing 11 yard reverse run by Stefon Sims, moved from their own 14 yard line all the way up the field to the goal line in seven plays. Abrams carried the ball over in a keeper from the four yard line to give the Sharks a 12-6 half time lead. In the last half, it was all Eagles in the scoring depart- ment. Taking to the air, quarterback Mark Harrell first hit Alban Howard on an 11 yard toss into the end zone. Again the kick was wide and the score stood at 12-12. With 2:45 left on the game clock, Harrell went to Farrell Barwick on a 50 yard home run pass for the touchdown, much like the one Georgia pulled against Florida two weeks ago. The toss came on the fourth play of the series after the Eagles had taken over on their own 24 after a Shark punt. The Eagles had another golden opportunity to put points on the board when Alan Sisk fumbled the snap on a punt attempt deep in Shark territory. Sisk picked up the ball and ran out of bounds on the Shark 36, where the Eagles took over. But on second and 10, Barwick, who was superb in his passing all night long, had one picked off by Andy Wilkerson to kill their scoring opportunity. The entire Shark team was in on the defensive effort, with every man on the team getting at least one tackle.

Gene Floore, Billy Merchant and David Bray added three apiece. Rozelle Jenkins led the running attack with 85 yards, Ashley Abrams had 40 yards and Stefon Sims, 11.

But Hutto stated that he will work with President-elect Reagan for the good of the country. "We. are Americans first and Democrats and Republi- cans after that," said Hutto. "I will be supportive of the President when I feel it is in the best interest of the nation and our District." Hutto, a member of the House Armed Services Com- mittee, feels that he and the new President are pretty close on many issues,-particularly national defense. Reagan, like Hutto, believes that we must strengthen our defense in order to keep the peace and maintain our freedoms. Although the Republicans have wrested control of the Senate the Democrats will still have the majority in the House in the new Congress. Hutto expects to move up several seats in seniority on the Armed Services Commit- tee as well as the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Com- mittee. "These are great committees which are excel- lent for Northwest Florida," Gators Fallto Jackets, 28-14 The Chattahoochee Yellow Jackets jumped off to a 14 point lead over Wewahitch- ka's Gatorsin the first quarter last Friday night and went on to dump the Gators, 28-14. After the 14 point splurge in the first period, the Gators played the Jackets on even terms for the remainder of the ball game, even though the Gators were hampered with several key injuries which put the nucleus of their running backs out of action. The Jackets scored on a one yard run by Arthur Johnson and a 44 yard gallop by Darrell Carroll in the first period. The Gators came back in the second period with seven points on the board off a four yard run by Harold Williams and an extra point kicked by Tim Taunton. The Jackets answered the Gator score in the second stanza when Earnest Dawkins tucked in a 35 yard pass from James Jakes. The Jackets passed for two extra points and took a 22-7 lead into the locker room with them at half time. Both teams scored in the third period, with the Gators scoring on a 30 yard pass by Taunton, who also kicked the extra point for the Gator's final score. The Jackets scored on a 17 yard run by Ivory and the Gators blocked the extra point attempt. The Gators still picked up 112 yards, even without the services of their premier running back, Steve Strick- land. In an attempt to put points on the board, the Gators went to the air and tossed 15 passes, an offense the Gators have not used much this year. The Gators will close out their season Friday night, when they take to the road again, to Greensboro. The Gators are now 4-5 for the season.

Birmingham, Chairman Jimmy 0. Gort- man, William I. Branch, James L. Tankersley, and Leo Kennedy. Others present were: George Y. Core, Clerk, Jerry Gates, Finance Officer, William J: Rish, Attorney, Lloyd Whitfield, Road Super- intendent, and Tommy Pitts, Administrative Assistant. The meeting came to order at 9:00 a.m. The opening prayer was by the Attorney, followed by the pledge to the flag. The minutes of August 26, 1980 and September 2, 23, and 29, 1980, were read, approved, and adopted. The Chairman announced the first business would be to open the meeting as a public hearing, pursuant to legal *notice published according to Vlaw, said hearing is in con- junction with the Apalachee Regional Planning Council and Gulf County to plan and accept a new Community Development Block Grant. The Chairman then intro- duced Mr. Donald D. Johnson, Economic Development Co- ordinator, of the Apalachee Regional Planning Council. Mr. Johnson proceeded to inform those present as to requirement for filling an application for Grant Dur- ing a question and answer period, Commissioner Gort- man asked where the County stood on a three stage grant which included the restoration of the second floor of the old courthouse in Wewahitchka. The answer was that the Local Public Works Bill for that type work has not been passed by the Congress. Commissioner Kennedy questioned the possibility of applying for a loan for water and sewer 'for Williamsburg Subdivision and Methodist Hill in the Wewahitchka area. The answer was that this can be done.-Doris Schott asked if grant funds include City pro- jects in its application.-Doris A Schott asked if grant funds might be expended on the purchase of e Old Beacon Hill Lighthouse property to be used as a public park. The answer was this type project was a very low priority.-E. L. Flemming asked if housing programs for north Port St. Joe could be included in a Block Grant. The answer was the City of Port St. Joe would determine this question in filing its grant. Mr. Johnson thanked those taking part in this public hearing and asked that writ- ten comments be mailed to him at P.O. Box 428, Blounts- town. Florida 32424. Mr. Steve Leitman, Apala- chee Regional Planning Coun- cil, discussed a proposed resolution to reguest the Uni- ted States Congress to amend the existing authorization for the federally maintained Apalachicola River System. After discussion, the resolu- tion was introduced by Com- missioner Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Tankersley, and unanimously adopted. The Resolution is on file in the Clerk's office. In discussing the 1980-81 fiscal year budget, which was adopted using the exact bud- get as the 1979-80 fiscal year, to be used for the first three months of the new year; the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser presented their quarter requisitions for a greater amount than one- fourth of the budget now adopted. After consideration, V the Board approved payment to the Tax Collector in the amount of $19,719.62 and to the Property Appraiser in the amount of $16,627.00. Mrs. Sally Malone appeared before the Board and re- quested that a lost plat of Yon's Addition to Beacon Hill be filed in the Offce of Clerk of Circuit Court. She stated she had presented a copy of this same plat at a recent meeting but was told it could not be filed because it was not signed. She said she adver- tised, requesting anyone with information as to the original of said plat .to contact her; that because it pays to adver- tise, she now has an original plat signed by S.E. Yon, the subdivider, and also signed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, J.R. Hunter; and the plat was signed on November 2, 1936. She then requested this plat be filed. The Chairman requested the Attorney to advise the Board on this matter. The Attorney advised that the plat could not be filed as an official record because it did not show thatit has ever been presented to the County Commissioners or filing, nor did it show that it was ever filed. He stated the plat was signed by S.E. Yon in a Certificate or Affi- davit of Ownership as to the land shown on the plat and that J.R. Hunter, then Clerk of the Circuit Court, signed a Certificate of acknowledging the fact that S.E. Yon was the person that signed the owner- ship certificate. He said the plat included a Certificate of Acceptance by the County Conimissioner, which was un- signed and it also included a Certificate ot Endorsment for the Clerk of Curcuit Court to show the date, book, and page allowed to file said plat in the unofficial plat book; that the plat is not accepted as an official record for any pur- pose, but is being filed only as a reference such as other unofficial plats and surveys kept by the Clerks Office. Mrs. Malone also requested the Board to file a copy of letter dated January 10, 1938, from Lula I. Hunter, Deputy Clerk, to Mrs. Virginia P. Moore. (Letter recorded in Official Record Book 83, Page 268.) Mr. Bill McFarland asked the Board what it intended to do about the controversy as to where the alley right of way line is located that runs behind his home property in Oak Grove. Commissioner Ken- nedy- stated that he and Commissioner Gortman in- spected this alleyway and found the County had main- tained it over the years and the right of way lines ap- peared to be in the same place as they have been over. the past years, but that they cannot determine whether or not the alley is in the exact place where the dedicator intended for it to be.--Mr. Howard T. Neel said if the alley is relocated according to a recent survey his home and fence will be within the alley right of way. Mr. McFarland asked where the landowners would be if this question went to litigation in the courts. The Attorney advised that Florida Law provided that adverse possession can run against an, individual ownership, but can- not run against the State, County, or a Municipality, which means that a private ownership stands to loose in such cases. Mr. Ollie Stutzman said he ,is the one that started this- question, due to the fact his survey indicates the lots he purchased extended twelve feet into what is now called the alley; that all he is asking for is what he purchased and it is not his intention to hurt any other owner in that area. After discussion, the Board said it has no intention of changing the alley. Commis- sioner Branch stated that this does not mean that at some future date the Board cannot consider an application of changing the alley. Commis- sioner Branch asked why north Port St. Joe cannot get a housing project. The answer was there is no land available. Mr. David Langston, Direct- or, CETA Program, discussed Ceta employee Larry Baker, whose contract time is run out and should be terminated under the Ceta regulations. He reminded the Board that it had urged him to keep this employee on the Ceta Pro- gram (assigned to the County Road Department) until the County's new budget came in, at which time, he would be given a permanent job with the County Road Department; that the County must now issue a letter assuring that this employee will be placed on the County payroll on January 1, 1981. Commis- sioner Branch said it was his understanding that the Board said Mr. Baker would be considered for the next open- ing, but did not guarantee him the next opening, because this would be going against the Board's policy in employing a new person. There was a motion by Commissioner Ken- nedy, seconded by Commis- sioner Gortman, that the Road Department accept Larry Baker from the Ceta Program on January 1, 1981.-There was a motion by Commissioner Tankersley, seconded by Com- missioner Gortman, to table this question until October 17, 1980. Motion passed unani- mously. Mr. Bob Smith, Area Co- ordinator, State Civil Defense, discussed the appointment of a Civil Defense Director. After consideration, there was a motion by Commissioner Gortman, seconded by Com- msioner Kennedy, and it was unanimously carried that W.T. "Bill" Lamar be ap- pointed to fill this position. Mr. Jerry Gates introduced Mr. Ted Cox, Division of Local Resources Manager Depart- ment of Administration, and reminded the Board that it has heretofore requested the State to make a Comprehansive position classification and pay study for all County Commis- sion employees. After dis- cussing the services to be performed by the Department of Administration, there was a motion by Commissioner Gortman, seconded by Com- missioner Branch, and it was unanimously carried that a resolution be passed, request- ing the department to perform this service for the county.The resolution is on file in the Clerk's office. The Finance Officer re- minded the Board that all Fire Control District funds have been collected in the amount of $5,513.72 and are being held. for the Commissioner's distri- bution order. After considera- tion, there was a motion by Commissioner Branch, sec- onded by Commissioner Gort- man, and it was unanimously carried, that these funds be divided as follows: Y4 to the City of Port St. Joe, /4 to Highland View Fire Depart- ment, 4 to Beaches Fire Department, and 4 tothe White City Fire Department, each receiving $1,378.43. The Clerk was directed to make these distributions.

Taylor, Commissioner- Group II, Allen V. McCulley, Commissioner-Group III. The Board discussed an application for hospitalization for Willie McKennon. The Board determined that this person was not entitled to indigent classification, there- fore te tax payers of Gulf County were not responsible for his medical hospitaliza- tion. The Board continued to discuss indigent classifica- tion. There was a motion by Commissioner Kennedy, sec- onded by Commissioner Gort- man, and unanimously car- ried to assign the respons- ibility of checking on and recommending who is or is not indigent when such applica- tions are received to the Veteran's Officer and that he make his determination ac- cording to the County Indigent Guidelines heretofore ado- pted. Commissioner Kennedy is to instruct the Veterans Officer as to this new duty. A bill from the State As- sociation of County Commis- sioners for the Board's annual dues in the amount of $315.32 was tabled. The Morrison Assurance Company, Inc., agent for the County workmen's compensa- tion policy presented its rec- ommended safety guidelines as required by the Florida Sta- tues, which provided that all insurance carriers provide the policy holders with a set of such safety guidelines under the Industrial Safety and Health Program. The Board studied this set of safety guidelines. There was a mo- tion by Commissioner Tank- ersley, seconded by Commis- sioner Branch and it was unanimously carried that these safety guidelines be hereby approved and adopted as of this date, that copies of some be presented to each supervisor, that each em- ployee be given a memoran- dum informing them that a safety policy as now been adopted, and that a copy of sild memorandum by include" ed in the safety and health program package.

Shiver offered the County the spoil (fill dirt) from a borrow pit that has already been ex- cavated at no cost to the County and the County would have a three year period to remove the material with a hold harmless agreement. There was a motion by Commissioner Gortman, sec- onded by Commissioner Branch, and it was unani- mously carried to accept this offer. In discussing the proposed nursing home to be located in Port St. Joe, Commissioner Kennedy requested a letter be copied into the minutes from Larry G. Johnson. Commissioner Tankersley reported that since the Board adopted its policy that utility companies would not be per- mitted to cut through the road surface for the purpose of installing underground lines, that the St. Joe Natural Gas Company is at the present time cutting some of the Streets in Beacon Hill. The Administrative Assistant re- minded the Board that the "no cutting" policy does not apply to unpaved streets and roads. Commissioner Tankersley questioned the completion te of the Indian Pass Road paving and the new bridge. It was announced that the road work should be completed in four weeks and the bridge will take a little longer. Commissioner Tankersley was excused from the meeting at this point.
