Over 10,000 Acres go up in Smoke


Blazes Scorch Coun


"It's the worst fire I've ever
fought," was the response of
many -of the firefighters par-
ticipating in extinguishing the
major forest fires in Gulf
County over the past week.


According to Jerry Brooks,
District Forester, some 10,000
acres of forest lands were*
scorched in the two infernos.
Brooks said, "Rough terrain,
high winds and low humidity,


combining with the drought-
parched forest, were the con-
tributing factors to the fire."
The first fire, the largest of
the blazes, started up approx-
imately six miles northeast of


the White City fire tower, near
Circle J Ranch, on Tuesday. It
consumed some 8,000 acres
before it was brought under
control.
The second fire began


Flames leap higher thg.thetre tops.. ,.,


Thursday approximately six
miles east of the White City
fire tower, near Overstreet. It
left some 3,000 acres of char-
red woodlands behind it.
The second fire began-
Thursday approximately six
miles east of the White City
fire tower, behind Highland
View. It left some 2,000 acres
of charred woodlands behind
it.
Both of the fires were rated
"Project" fires by the Divi-
sion of Forestry, meaning that
the fires were given first
priority for available equip-
ment and personnel from
other fire districts in the state.
In total, 40 additional person-
nel were called in to aid in
fighting the blazes.
The second fire was the one
that caused the greatest
alarm, threatening homes in
the White City area. It began
about 4:15 Thursday after-
noon, and whipped by high
winds it consumed 250 acres of
timber by nightfall.
With sunrise ,Friday, the
wind blew new life into the
fire. The blaze took a course
toward White City and didn't
let much get in its way. It
jumped the Intracoastal
Waterway twice as it burned
toward White City.
According to Forester
Brooks, the team of fire
ploughs had concentrated
their efforts on an area
southwest of White City, near
the dynamite docks. A group
of Forestry and St. Joe Paper
Co. ploughs had ploughed a
maze of fire breaks hoping to
contain, or turn the fire in that
area,
Afterthe blaze jumiiped the


Intracoastal Waterway a wind
shift swept it off course and
around the recently ploughed
firebreaks. The wind shift sent
the head of the fire between
the Intracoastal Waterway
-and the small community one
mile south of the White City
bridge.
Local fire departments had
responded to aid in protecting
the homes located in the path
of the blaze. The White City,
Highland View, Beaches,
Mexico Beach and Wewahit-
chka fire departments, all
volunteer units, were on hand.
Brooks stated that the area
fire departments did an
"outstanding" job in protec-
ting the homes involved, ad-
ding that many even helped
with hand tools in fighting the
blaze.
As night fell so did the winds
and humidity rose, enabling
workers to extinguish 95 per-
cent of the blaze during the
night. Humidity had fallen as
low as 27 percent during the
day.
On Saturday, much needed
and long awaited, rains finish-
ed the clean up operations, br-
inging moisture to the parched
forest.
While this fire threat to
homes drew much attention,
the first fire drew equal atten-
tion because of the acreage it
consumed. Over 8,000 acres
were charred, most of it give
on Wednesday as wind gusts of
up to 55 mph fanned the fire.
According to Brooks arson
is suspected in both fires. Two
suspects were apprehended
and questioned by the Gulf
County Sheriff's Department..
Both were given lie detector

Circuit' Court Judge Fred
Turner ruled last Thursday.
that the local Board of County
Commissioners had no right to
impose a '30 day moratorium
on the issuance of building
permits for lots located on the
waterside of Highway 98 at St.
Joe Beach.
In the March 19th hearing,
Judge Turner issued a writ of
mandamus against the Couln-
ty, giving them five days to
issue a building permit to
Theodore Meadows of Albany,
Georgia, who filed the suit
against the County.
The local Board had intend-
ed on searching through
studies in the county's com-
prehensive plan, looking for
possible dangers to the public


lands that adjoined the pro-
perty in question.
In an earlier Board
meeting, the Commissioners
had issued a 30-day
moratorium on the issuance of
beach front building permits,
in an effort to detain Meadows
from beginning construction
on his beachfront property.
Meadows, in turn, filed suit
against the. Board over its
decision.
Judge Turner pointed out in
his ruling against the Board
that the Board had no right to
treat Meadows any differently
by placing a 30 day morator-
ium on his receipt of a building
permit, after he had already
met all the necessary re-
quirements for the permit.


Turner further stated that further stressed that the
Meadows had properly ap- amendment was not adopted
plied and that the Board's 30 according to public law, which
day moratorium was made requires advertising and
after the plaintiff had applied public hearings before it could
for the building permit. He be approved.

City Board Takes Steps To Cure


Seepage
The City Commission made
a move Monday night in hopes
of solving the seepage pro-
blem at the Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant. For as long as the
plant has been in operation
seepage through the dike sur-
rounding the plant's holding
pond has been a problem.
The City had hired an
engineering firm, Russell &
Axon, to study the problem.
They, in turn, made a recom-
mendation for repairs on the
dike wall which the study
showed would correct the
seepage problem.


Problems at WWTP


Being reluctant to tackle the
repairs without knowing for
certain the proposal would
solve the problem the Com-
mission decided to repair a
test section of the dike wall.
They accepted the bid of Mc-
Cormick Contracting Co., Inc.
for $28,980 to reconstruct a 200'
test section of the dike.
If this works, the Board will
then continue with the propos-
ed solution to the problem.
SEWER INFILTRATION
Rod Westall, representing
Russell & Axon, addressed the
Board stating that his firm


had gone as far as it could on
its study of infiltration into
the City's sewer lines.
The next step would be
cleaning the sewage pipes and
televising the interior of them.
in an effort to determine ex-
actly where the leaks were in
the system. Westall asked the
Board for their permission to
do all the necessary paper
work and get it off to the En-
vironmental Protection Agen-
cy (EPA) for their approval.
The Board decided to postpone
their go ahead on the project
until a full Board representa-


tion was present.
GULF CABLE TV
Robert H. Newman, owner/
manager of Gulf Cable TV, ad-
dressed the Board soliciting
their approval of a $2.00 per
month increase in his com-
pany's monthly rate.
Newman explained that

nel to its basic CATV service

city with better fire pro-
tection, police protection,

SJPC To

Prosecute

St. Joe Paper Company of-
ficials announced this week
that all timberlands burned in
the forest fires recently in
Gulf County have been posted
to fish baiting. Anyone caught
fish baiting on any of these
lands will be prosecuted ac-
cording to company officials.


The Board of County Commissioners
took action Tuesday night to insure
themselves the final word in beach con-
struction.
In response to a motion by Doug Bir-
mingham, the Board approved of tak-
ing the necessary steps to adopt an or-
dinance establishing a county set-back
line
The new ordinance would replace an
emergency order the Board had
previously adopted. The emergency
order and the proposed ordinance were
reenactments of the state's set-back
lines and included an area from the
Gulf County line on the west to Palm
Point.
The teeth in the county ordinance
would be that any variance request con-
cerning the set-back line would come to
the Board for approval. This would give
the Board legal authority to decide on
issuance of building permits in sen-
sitive Gulf County areas.
This action took place less than one
week after the County had a suit filed
against it by Theodore Meadows for
enacting a 30-day moratorium on the is-
suance of building permits. According
to Circuit Court Judge Fred Turner the
County had no right to prevent
Meadows from receiving a building
permit. Turner gave the Board five
days to issue Meadows a building per-
mit.
The Board had adopted the


moratorium on building permits in
hopes of not only stopping the beach
front building but also to buy time as
they attempted to come up with some
plan through the State to purchase the
much publicized "street end" lots at St.
Joe Beach.
The Department of Natural
Resources shot holes in that plan
though as Mark Proctor, attorney for
DNR, sent word of the bad news. The
Department had looked at three options
for purchase by the state. The first was
ruled out because the time to apply had
expired; the second was a 50/50 share
by the County and state, which had
earlier been turned down by the Board.
The last option was for the state to buy
lands for park and recreation areas, but
the road ends being scattered along the
beach instead of being one piece of pro-
perty ruled that out along with the
possibility of State funds with which to
purchase the property.
The question of spending County
money to help purchase the beach pro-
perty was given consideratonsideration as the
Board kicked around the thought of
having a referendum concerning the
matter, but no action was taken.
MOVE TO APPEAL RULING
Commissioner Branch thought the
Board should fight the problem at hand,
Meadows' building permit, one step fur-
ther. He moved to have the Board's at-
torney appeal Judge Turner's decision
forcing the County to issue Meadows a


building permit.
Birmingham seconded the motion
and the floor was open. Money said that
the people he has talked with are oppos-
ed to spending taxpayers' money
fighting a law suit. Birmingham
countered, "It was obvious that
Meadows did not meet all the re-
quirements to receive a building per-.
mit."
Judge Turner had based his ruling for
the County to issue the permit on
Meadows having completed building
permit requirements prior to the coun-
ty's issuance of a 30 day moratorium on
beach property building- permits.
Turner stated in the hearing that since
Meadows had completed requirements
for the permit before the moratorium
was mandated by the County, he had
the legal right to receive the permit.
County Inspector Red Gunn verified
that Meadows had completed the
necessary requirements for the is-
suance of a permit.
Branch addressed Gunn as to
whether an old ordinance establishing a
10' setback from state road right-of-
way would be applicable. Gunn
responded by stating that he has a state
code to follow in the issuance of permits
and that Meadows had complied with it.
"The code requires me to apply local
zoning and county setback ordinances
but Gulf County does not have any,"
Gunn stated. He continued, "If there's a

County's Final Census Report Can Not be Correct


Gulf County's final census report contin-
ues to amaze us as to its inaccuracy and
obvious undercount, especially in the two
incorporated cities within the county.
We're not particularly disturbed that we
don't have 15,000 or 20,000 or even 30,000
* people in Gulf County. The only thing which
disturbs us is that we didn't get credit for the
people we do have. ,
The undercount should have been obvious
to the people making the count, also. It would
take a nose by nose count in the county to
convince us otherwise. If we had been an
enumerator and came up with the figures
which were reported, we would'have also
smelled a Gulf County citizen or two hidden in
the woodpile and we would have gone out and
looked him up and counted him too.
The census report shows there were 927
new homes built in Gulf County in the past 10
years. We believe this. We have never seen
building in the county like we have seen it in
the past 10 years. Almost every time one
would travel almost any road or street in the
county, there would be a new dwelling house
Lningo n u This annlies to th nrhban as well as


the suburban areas as well. Building a home
has been the thing to do in Gulf County during

the 1970's.
Then, on the other hand, the report shows
there are only 355 new people in the county to
live in these 927 new homes. Either all of the
new people in the county has almost three
homes each, or the arithmetic is off.
There is next to no vacant housing in
Gulf County at the present time and there
were next to no vacant homes in the county


when the census was taken.
We suspect even the housing count was'
wrong too, since there were several homes
under construction at the time the census was
taken, and when there is a home being built in
Gulf County, there is usually someone here
waiting to get into it. There is little to no
speculative building in Gulf County.
Like we say, the number of people who


pointing out was that at least one is needed
here on the Gulf to serve the needs of the
people who wish to use it for recreation.
Now, the DER, that gaggle of environ-
mentalists in Tallahassee, has stopped the
best chance we seem to have ever had to get a
Gulf-side landing by worrying that installa-
tion at the only site the Commission has been
able to secure for the landing, after years of
searching, will maybe do some sort of
imagined damage to some underwater grass
or cause a shovel full of fill to be spilled into
an adjoining marsh.

does bother us, is that an inaccurate count
costs the county money and costing the
county money means somebody is getting
gyped out of services he has paid taxes to
support. If the census count shows he doesn't
live here, by failure to get counted, somebody
else gets the money for the services the
uncounted will miss.


back when the U.S. Army was using this same
space for bivouac and maneuvers across the
beach to St. Joseph Point?
If use of this site (Palm Point) in this
manner is of such danger to these environ-
mental concerns, why isn't the area now nude
of these underwater grasses? Why isn't that
adjoining marsh completely desecrated? The
Army put more use to that area in the short
time they were here than the landing would
probably see in a year of public use.
Again, we think the DER doesn't have a 4
leg of experience to stand on in denying the
use of this location.

hands the first time I put on my socks.

THESE AREN'T THE real reasons
I had the work on my hip done, even
though they will be welcome side ef-
fects. The real reason was the constant
pain and the eternal care I had to take
in making every step and every move. I
was just tired of hurting and not being
able to go full speed ahead.
Dr. Wayne Hendrix told me before I

while I am taking my two week vaca-

very careful not to lie on my stomach.
I'll stay on my back or side.
The reason for this is that recently I
read an article where lying on the face
or stomach while sleeping made one
distorted and ugly in the face. It messes
up the teeth, the jaws and the forehead.
I thought this might be a prudent
thing to do, since my looks are already
messed up enough without adding to the
present product with sleeping on my
stomach. Before you say it, I have not
slept on my face in the past. I have
always slept on my back and side. I
think. I haven't really stayed awake to
see.

A PRAYER FOR ADAM
Dear Lord, Feb. 16, 1981,
you took back into your arms a
child so loved, that it broke so
many hearts. The anguish that
is felt by his parents is so
pitiful that it is hard to pretend
that they can go on.
Please help them find the'
strength to go on, for it will
help all of us. Take care of our
Adam; he was loved by all
who knew him and when he
left us, it seemed as if the
earth stopped spinning while a
little part of us died along with
him.
Goodbye sweet baby,
Goodbye beautiful boy,
Goodbye dear Adam.
Your Great Grandmother,
Mrs. Jesse Anderson

10' setback from the state right-of-way,
I don't know about it."
In discussion it was noted that the 10'
setback only applied in subdivisions
and that it had been ruled by Judge
Turner last week that the beach street
ends were not a part of Yon's Subdivi-.
sion; therefore they did not fall under
the ordinance.
A vote was then taken on the motion
to appeal Judge Turner's ruling. Money
and Gortman opposed the motion to ap-
peal, and Birmingham and Branch
voted -in favor. of appealing. OlCrman
Tankersley was forced to break the tie.
Before he voted he asked the Board's
attorney what the county's chances


were in winning an appeal. Attorney
Rish pointed out that Comm. Birm-
ingham had stressed the weakest part
of the ruling in his motion to appeal, but
in his opinion the chances of winning an
appeal were not the best. .
Tankersley then voted against the
motion, stating that he wanted; to
preserve the beaches but felt the Coun-
ty waited too late to fight Meadows. The
motion failed by a three to two vote.
The Board followed this with a motion
by Branch to require a 10' setback from
-the state right-of-way, with options for
variances. The motion passed with only
Money.opposing.

and appreciation of the
natural beauty with which we

water situation, purification.
and re-processing and stated
that when beautiful wild-

can not be restored, and that
many are now threatened. She

beautiful wildflowers in our

down the Overstreet road as
an example. She urged that we
be more careful of our wild life

HUTTO


SOCIAL SECURITY
During the past few weeks I
have received numerous in-
quiries regarding President
Reagan's proposed cuts in
Social Security. In this week's
column, I would like to discuss
the main provisions of the
Reagan proposal as it relates to
the Social Security system.
Minimum Benefit One
main cot proposed by the Ad-
ministration' is elimination of
the so-called "minimum
benefit." According to present
law, retirees are eligible for
minimum payments of $122
per month, regardless of their
earnings history. The original
purpose of this provision, first
enacted in 1939 at a $10-per-
month level, was to increase
retirement income for those
with very low wage histories,
and for those whose employ-
merit was primarily before
Social Security covered their
work in the system's early
years.
Since 1974, the Supplemen-
tal Security Income program
(SSI) has provided cash
assistance to such, retirees.. In
fact, according to ,the Ad-
ministration, elimination of
the minimum payment will be
offset, dollar for dollar, by the
amount of SSI assistance in-
dividuals would receive were
they not drawing the minimum
payments. The General Ac-
counting Office has estimated
cost savings in 1981 of $50
million, assuming the changes
take effect August. 1, 1981, and
$1 billion in 1982. For the years
1983-1986, the. estimated cost
savings have been set at $1.1
billion each year.
Student Benefits Drawing
heavy public opposition is the
proposed elimination of Social
Security payments to adult
students. The rationale of the
Reagan Administration is bas-
ed on the supposition that
payments to students fiom
Social Security funds are
unrelated to educational costs


or to need as well as
duplicating more appropriate
federal student assistance pro-
grams. Without Social Securi-
ty, low and middle income
adult students would be eligible
for federal student assistance
tailored to their educational
costs and needs.
According to the Ad-
ministration, student payments
'have grown from $165 million
in 1965 to over $2 billion in
1981. In addition, while the
number of adult students on
Social Security rose by only
25% in the past 10 years, the
cost of student payments 'went
up 240%. By eliminating
Social Security, for adult
students.- an estimated $7
billion would be added to the
Social Security trust funds by
1986, according to the General
Accounting Office.
The Reagan Administration
is attempting bold measures in
order to -achieve a balanced
budget. In the coming weeks,
the Congress will take a close,
careful look at the Administra-
tion's proposals in order to
protect those deserving in-
dividuals who may be harmed
by these, changes.

The federal government now requires that manufacturers attach
energy operating costs labels to dishwashers and water heaters
produced after May 19, 1980. This now makes it possible for you
to comparison shop for annual operating costs, as well as price,
over the life of the appliance. Operating cost savings of the more
efficient appliances can often exceed purchase price. So ask
your appliance dealer to show you the new yellow labels and
figure out your Energy Savings, then determine your. best deal.

THANK YOU

Perhaps you sent a lovely
message
Or sat quietly in a chair;
Perhaps you sent a floral
piece
If so, we saw it there;
Perhaps for us, you softly
prayed
Or sent a tasty dish;
Perhaps you were not there
with us
But oh how you did wish;
Perhaps you spoke the kindest
words
As any friend could say;
For each consoling part .you
played
We thank you and we pray;
God's eternal blessings go
with you
As you journey on life's way.

This letter is a reproduction
of a letter written to Bruce
Jenner from Fred Q. Vroom,
M.D. discussing the effects of
marijuana, and the fact that
research is showing an over-
whelming number of detri-
mental effects.

Dear Bruce:
I admire your stand against
the use of marijuana; how-
ever, I would like it carried a
step further. Although some
people may be debating the
effects of smoking marijuana,
research is showing an over-
whelming number of detri-
mental effects.
Marijuana is fat soluble and
has a half-life of seven days,
meaning that it takes well
over a month to be excreted
from the body. Usage more
than once a month results in
accumulation and continued
exposure to the drug.
The .brain is effected in
monkeys and man. Rhesus
monkeys who smoke the e-
quivalent for their size of two
marijuana cigarettes a week
for 12 weeks develop degen-
eration of nerve cells. The

the ability to secrete an acid
which enables it to burrow
through plaster, mortar and
other non-edible materials to
get to edible food underneath.
The Formosan termite was
found last year in Hallandale,
Florida, and is believed to be
well established in the area.
Some termites even feed on
cultivated plants, including
vegetables. Koehler specu-
lates the termites have colon-
ies in old tree roots and wood
products decaying in the soil.
The insects apparently move
to other available food sup-


senitizing protein disinte-
grates: synaptic vessicles in
the nerve endings which con-
tain the chemical for trans-
mitting information from one
cell to another degenerate,
finally there is deterioration of
the synaptic cleft which is the
physical connection between
one cell and the next. It is
likely that humans who are
heavy users, i.e., who smoke
one or more marijuana cig-
arrettes a day develop
atrophy (shrinkage) of the
brain as demonstrated by CAT
scans. Physiologically it is
common to see slowing of the
electoencephalogram indicat-
ing widespread damage to the
brain in moderate users, of
memory, judgement, abstract
thinking, spontaneity and
reaction time which results in
reduced intellect, personality
and physical ability. This is
the "burn out" syndrome that
is the direct result of brain
damage from marijuana. It is
the most common illness
encountered by the average
American teenager.
The reproductive system is
damaged in males and fe-
males. In males there is an
almost 50 percent reduction in


plies when their wood supply
is exhausted or when they are
disturbed, the scientist said.
Prevention is the best
means of controlling termites.
Treating soil under a house
foundation before the struc-
ture is built is the best way to
prevent termite damage, Koe-
bler advises.
If the house is already built,
Koehler suggests yearly in
spections. But the IFAS expert
warns about pest control
companies trying to sell a
repeat treatment every five to
six years. Research has shown
that soil treatments can con-
trol termites for more than 30
years, Koehler said.


TAXES
TAXES


To help keep your Form
1040 from becoming too
taxing, lere are a few tax
tips for investors:
You can't deduct
capital losses if you buy
back the same security with-
in 30 days before or 30 days
after your loss sale. This tax
rule is called the "Wash Sale
Rule."


Tax-wise investors know
they must hold a security
more than twelve months to
get a long-term capital gain.


You can deduct up
to $3,000 in capital losses
against your other income,
such as your salary, divi-
dends and interest income.
According to experts at the
investment firm of Bache
Halsey Stuart Shields, under-
standing this and other tax
laws can help you plan the
best investment strategy.
You can "roll over"
a lump sum distribution
from your company's profit-
sharing plan or pension plan
-tax free.
Short-term capital
losses are more valuable tax-
wise than long-term losses.
By exploring these tax
tips and others, you can be-
come a more tax-wise tax-
payer yourself.


testosterone which is the male
hormone. The reduction in this
hormone in teenage males as
the result of marijuana smok-
ing reduces development of
secondary sexual characteris-
tics, i.e., there is impaired
. muscle development of sec-
ened stature and breast
development may occur.
Sperm are abnormal, having
unusual forms and decreased
motility. 20 percent of young
adult males develop im-
potence within five years from
smoking marijuana. Primate
females, such as humans,
have a fixed number of eggs in
each ovary at birth which they
carry through life. The
maturation and fertilization of
these eggs results in their off-
spring. Rhesus monkeys ex-
posed to moderate marijuana
usage develop visible damage.
to these eggs with some de-
generating and others having
chromosome breaks. The
spontaneous abortion rate,
which is a manifestation of
severe developmental dis-
orders, increases from 12 per-
cent to 44 percent. Of those
infants that are carried to
term, many are hyperactive,
have decreased learning
ability as well as a smaller
head and heart for their body
size. Similar problems appear
applicable to humans and are
likely to occur long after
marijuana usage is stopped.
The immune system, which
is one of the body's natural
defenses against cancer and
infection, is imparied to the
same degree as that which
occurs in patients who require
immunosuppressants to pre-
vent rejection of organ trans-
plants. The use of immuno-
suppressants, which may be
life saving for the patient
receiving an organ transplant,
also carries with it an 80-times
increased incidence of cancer
because of impairment of the
-body defenses. This same
80-times increase in cancer is
likely to apply to humans
using marijuana.
A marijuana cigarette is 16
times as damaging to the res-
piratory system as smoking
one cigarette containing
tobacco. The destruction of
lung tissue and the precancer-
ous changes to cells is the
same type as that resulting
from tobacco. Tobacco results
in a 300-times increase in the
incidence of lung cancer; it is
the primary cause for emphy-

sema; it results in a three to
five-times increase in the
incidence of heart attack and
stroke, and the likelihood of
each attack resulting in
severe disability or death is
increased a similar degree.
Marijuana is commonly
adulterated with the hallucin-
ogen angel dust (phencycli-
dine). This is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless, very
potent, inexpensive, easily
produced hallucinogen which
is illegally made in every city
in this country. It is used to
increase the incidence of drug
dependency and therefore to
increase the need for cus-
tomers to buy the product. Ten
percent to 90 percent of all the
marijuana in the United
States is adulterated with
angel dust. Angel dust alters
perception of reality, and can
result in a severe chemical
alteration of one's personality.
It results in a chemically
induced psychosis with
bizarre, often violent and
destructive behavior which is
no doubt responsible for the
mass murders and other acts
of violence that so commonly
are reported by our news
media.
It appears that marijuana in
its long term effect
may be more dangerous than
the "harder" narcotics such
as cocaine and heroin, which
most people fear because of
the addiction, respiratory de-
pression and sudden death
which often accompany their
usage. Ideally, all "recrea-
tional" drugs should be avoid-
ed. The risks of narcotics,
hallucinogens such as angel
dust and tobacco have been
described. Sedatives and
tranquilizers such as
Quaaludes and Valium result
in drug dependency, depres-
sion and contribute to suicide

Recreational drug usage re-

to ten percent of all adult

One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking.


One word won't tell 'em who you are
You've got to keep on talking.


An inch won't make you very tall.
You've got to keep on growing.


One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep them going.


A constant drop of water
Wears away the hardest stone;


By constant gnawin', Towser
Masticates the toughest bone.


The constant, cooing lover
Carries off the blushing maid.


And the constant advertiser

Is the one who gets the trade!


Make us prove it.
