MRS. JEAN ETHERIDGE



Fiddlin' Around


Jean Etheridge plays the fiddle for
her own enjoyment and she plays by ear.
Last week end, she combined her,
enjoyment with a little competition in
Panama City and came home with a first
place ranking'in the old time fiddlers
convention, sponsored in the Panama City
Municipal Auditoriam. last Friday and
Saturday nights by the Panama City
Jaycees.
Mrs. Etheridge had four other fiddlers
competing with her for the title.
Playing the fiddle has been in Jean's
family for years. She said her father
taught her to play when she was just a
little girl. When she was.about 12 years of
age, she quit and started again about five
years ago. She apparently didn't forget
much in the interim..
Mrs. Etheridge says she can't read


music, so when she hears a piece she
would like to learn to play, she gets a tape
of the tune and plays it until she knows the
tune. Then she picks up her fiddle and
saws away at the tune until she gets it just
like she wants it.
"I just play for the fun of it", Jean
said.
Mrs. Etheridge wasn't the only Port
St. Joe product in the contest last week
end. Eddie McFarland and his "Cypress
Creek Band" a blue grass group which
plays regularly in the Tallahassee area,
won top honors in the bluegrass band
competition.
McFarland and his band have per-
formed once here in the Port St. Joe area,
when they played for the grand opening of
a business owned by Perry McFarland,
Eddie's cousin, in the fall of last year.


Alabama Man Burned to


Death in Pick Up Truck


Answering a call at 7:40
a.m., Sunday morning Gulf
County Sheriff's Department
discovered a body burned
beyond recognition, in a
burned out 1980 Chevrolet
pick-up.
According to Sheriff Ken
Murphy, the Gulf County'
Sheriff's department is investi-
gating the vehicle fire which
occurred sometime Sunday
morning, north of Howard's
Creek on the Willis Landing

Charged In

Altering

Money
According the Sheriff Ken
Murphy, charges of passing
forged currency were made
Monday morning against
Archie Daniels, age 26, David
Smith, age 25, and Delores
Thomas, age 28, all of Port St.
Joe.
The trio was arrested for
"raising" $20 bills. The scam
is accomplished by cutting one.
end off of two $20 bills and
taping them at each end of a
trimmed $1 bill. The $20 bills
can be used even though one
end is removed. The $1 bill is
then passed for a $20 bil unless
the store clerk is very observ-
ant.
S"Three of the raised bills
have been recovered from
local merchants and four of
the cut $20 bills have been
recovered, and we expect to
recover more currency before
the investigation is over," said
Sheriff Murphy.
Sheriff Murphy also stated,
"merchants should be obser-
vant of any bill larger that a $1
ill because we have had
IReports in the past of people
raising $5 bills."
The three were arraigned
before Judge David Taunton
and were released on their
own recognisance.


cutoff.
The mobile crime lab .from
Panama City was called in to
assist the sheriff's department
in securing evidence. State
Attorney Jim Appleman's
office is also assisting in the
investigation.
"The cab and engine area of
the vehicle was completely
destroyed," Sheriff Murphy
said.
From clues worked' up by
the medical examiner, the
dead man was identified Tues-
day afternoon as Jimmy
Wayne Creech, 26, of Kinston,
Alabama. He had been here
about a week, working in the
farming operation of Charles
Patterson.'
"We have no indication of
any foul play, however, we are
treating the incident as a
homicide until we can deter-


mine exactly what happened.
We need to wait for a report
from the crime lab in Talla-
hassee to determine what
caused the fire."
Sheriff Murphy said prelim-
inary investigation has de-
termined that the lights and
Windshield wipers were run-
ning on the truck when it
caught fire. He said the engine
was apparently idling and a
radiator hose had burst, caus-
ing the engine to heat up and
lock from the extreme heat.
There are indications that the
heat from the engine set the
truck afire.
The truck was owned by
Charles Patterson, who is a
bean farmer in the Howard's
creek area. Mr. Patterson
discovered and reported the
incident to the Gulf County
Sheriff's Department.


To Grant Industry Tax Consessions


Asks for Permission


The City of Port St. Joe will go to the polls on
May 26 to decide whether or not to give the City
Commission the authority to reduce or abolish city
ad valorem taxes for a period of up to five years
for a new industry which plans to locate or expand
in Port St. Joe.
The referendum is a companion measure to
the one proposed by Gulf County, asking for the
same authority for the County Commissioners
sometime during the next 90 days.
The City of Port St. Joe is going ahead with its
question on May 26, since this is the date for the
second primary of the municipal election


Well


to be


Fixed
The Port St. Joe City Com-
mission decided Tuesday
night to proceed with the work
of repairing a water well
which collapsed deep inside its
interiors and get it back into
production.
One water well collapsed
and another came up with a
bad case of iron bacteria,
making it unusable to supply
potable water at the present
time.
The two wells being out of
business, leaves the City with
but one producing well and a
supplement of water from the
St. Joe Paper Company canal.
Engineers and the North-
west Florida Water Manage-
ment District have both
agreed the deep well collapsed
in a clay collar sore 324.to'334
feet below the ground. The
steel casing in the well goes
down to only 225 feet. Engin-
eers and the Water Manage-
ment District also agree that
the collapsing deep well was
instrumental in causing the
problems with the adjacent
shallow well.
Tuesday night, the City
agreed to go ahead with
suggested plans to place a new
pipe casing inside the present
casing of the deep well,
drilling it deeper and prepar-
ing a new water pocket at the
bottom of the shaft. Estimated
cost of the work is around
,$33,000.
The City has a firm bid of
$33,315 for the project, which
the engineers and Water Man-
agement people say is a good
bid. Before the project is
definitely contracted, the City
Commission will get several
other quotations on the job. '
The decision to be made by
the Commission now is where
to get the money to pay for the
job. While the City budgets for
contingencies, theer were no
preparations made in the
Water Department for such a
sizeable contingency as this
one.
PLANT OPERATION
While the City was struggl-
ing over the matter of a
collapsed water well, the
water department was coming

regularly scheduled for the month of May. The
County has no regular scheduled election this
year, so must go through the procedure of setting
one up.
Approval by the voters will not automatically
grant tax exemption or tax relief for five years for
any new industry which might move into Port St.
Joe. The measure will allow the Commission to
decide on an individual basis whether or not an
industrial prospect or expansion is worthy of
enticement by a tax break. The tax breaks are now
allowed by the Florida Constitution.
George G. Tapper, chairman of the Port St.


Joe Port Authority, had made a request to the City
Commission recently, asking the Commission to
call for and set up an election to provide the
authority to allow the ad valorem tax breaks.
Tapper said the move is needed to give the Port
Authority something to offer as an enticement for
firms the Port Authority is trying to line up to
become a customer or a service industry for a new
port to be built here.
Tapper said approval of the question in a
referendum would put Gulf County and Port St.
Joe in a good position toward attracting new
-industry to the city and county.


City Qualification Ends


Qualification books closed for candidates seeking
election to the City Commission in the May primaries at 5:00
p.m., yesterday afternoon.
The Star went to press before the qualification books
were closed, but at noon yesterday, only one of the four seats
to be elected in May had opposition. In the Group Four
position, to select a candidate to serve the remaining one
year of the term of the late John Robert Smith,' three
candidates have paid their qualification fees. Seeking
election to the post are Alton Fennell, David Horton and
Nathan Peters, Jr. Peters was a candidate for the position a
year ago, against Smith.
Mayor Frank Pate and Commissioner Wesley R.
Ramsey had no opposition at noon yesterday, but one other
position on the Board saw a change in faces.
Commissioner Tom S. Coldewey, veteran commissioner,
decided this week not to seek re-election. Coldewey said his
duties as a Trustee of the duPont Foundation are taking so


much of his time, he can't take care of the City's business as
he thought he should. Coldewey has been a valuable member
of the Commission during his tenure on the Board and has
had some important input for the several tough decisions
which had to be made in the past. ,
Qualifying Tuesday for Coldewey's position on the Board
was Bill Fleming. Fleming has never sought public office in
the City before. He is an employee of St. Joe Paper Company
and has lived in Port St. Joe for many years.
In the one competitive race, Peters has been a City
candidate before, but Fennell and Horton are getting into city
politics for the first time. Fennell is an employee of St. Joe
Paper Company and has been an active member in North
Port St. Joe civic affairs for many years.
Horton is an employee of Apalachicola Northern
Railroad and is a native of White City. For the past several
years, he has been very active with the Port St. Joe squad of
the Gulf County Volunteer Ambulance Service.


Vietnam Veterans to Get Recognition Sunday


Sunday will be National Day of Recognition for an
,veterans of the Vietnam War era throughout Gulf County.
Monday of this week, Mayor Faye Cox, of Wewahitchka,
County Commission Chairman James Tankersley and Port
St. Joe Mayor Frank Pate gathered to sign a companion
proclamation declaring Sunday as a day of recognition for
the veterans.
Looking on as the proclamation was signed was Rev.
Earnest Barr, president of the Port St. Joe Ministerial


Association and Fred Kleeb, Veterans Service Officer for the
County. Rev. Barr said all pastors throughout the county will
be recognizing the special veterans and their need for
commendation for their services to their country during
church services Sunday morning.
The proclamation signed by the three heads of
government in Gulf County can be seen reproduced on the
editorial page of this week's issue of The Star.

Did you get your tax bill
from the office of the Gulf
County Tax Collector? Don't
worry, you will if- you haven't
already.
Property owners started
receiving their 1980 tax bills,
delayed by six months due to
assessment problems in the
county, on Wednesday in the
morning mail.
Tax Collector Eda Ruth
Taylor and her staff worked
hard late last week and early
this week to get the nearly
5,000 bills into the mail.
Taylor's office received the
bills from the computer,
where they were printed,
early last,week. The Tax
Collector's, office has been at
work since that time, verify-
ing the bills, putting them into
envelopes and getting them
ready to roll.


Now they are on the way to
you.
Although the tax bills are
nearly six months late in
getting out, tax payers still
may take the four percent
discount offered for payment
in the first month.
The Tax Collector said the
four percent discount will be
allowed if the taxes are paid
before May 23. If taxes are
paid after May 22, a three
penalty will be assessed. If
taxes are paid after June 22,
additional fees will be added.
The tax bills are collecting
revenues for Gulf County, the
School Board, City of Port St.
Joe, City of Wewahitchka,
Northwest Florida Water
Management District, Tupelo
Fire Control District, Howard
Creek Fire Control District,
Overstreet Fire Control Dis-

Dead Lakes

Both Gulf and Calhoun counties have
asked Representative Leonard Hall to abolish
the Dead Lakes Water Management Commis-
sion and turn the responsibility over to the two
Commission boards to appoint portions of
their membership to direct the future of the
famous fishing spot.
The old Water Management committee
was responsible for the program which
constructed the dam at the south end of the
lakes and operates the fishing permit program
which is paying off the expense of the dam and
-:the draw-down structure.
th s In recent years, the Dead Lakes commis-
a:. -zsion has become sort of inactive and seem to
S have lost interest in the management of the
lakes. This is why the two Commission boards
are wanting to take over the operation in order
to maintain some sort of an on-going
S management program.
Also in recent years, water weeds have
taken over the lakes. Some say this is because
the natural current of the lakes has been
curtailed to the point where the natural flow of
the lakes won't keep the weeds washed out.
'This turn of events has spurred a
movement to remove the dam at the end of the

Federal Bi

WE'LL FIND OUT, NOW, if we
really want the federal to cut the
budget.
Last week, we learned that the
budget cut3 would drastically affect the
operation of Gulf County schools,
cutting some of the services and
^ causing a major problem with the lunch
-. riom operation.
Walter Wilder called me last week,
after the story was printed relating to
the federal cut-back on the schools and
5 he told me the $50,000 shortage printed
in the story was in the lunch room
program alone. I had misunderstood
-i#n when he was talking. The entire
Shortage will figure more like $130,000.
We, have all favored cut-backs in
spending and in taking taxes by the
,government. We can almost get up a
unanimous vote when it comes to
: "bringing government spending into
line", but it's going to be interesting to
see the effects such spending cuts make
when they are in such visible areas as
:. school lunch room programs. If kids
start having to pay $1.00 or more for a
school lunch, or the school has to

lakes to allow them to fluctuate and flow as
they had for centuries before the, dam was
built, hoping this would keep the weed growth
flushed out.
We have no objections to the two
Commission boards assuming the responsibil-
ity for operation of the lakes. We do think it
would be a mistake to remove the dam at this
point. It took a lot of work on the part of a lot of
people to get the dam built. It also took a lot of


money to construct the dam and the
draw-down structure.
We would not favor removing the dam
without an extensive study by knowledgeable
people first.
Proponents of removing the dam claim it
will allow the fish to go back and forth into the
lake freely and will enhance the bedding
activities in the lake and increase the fishing.
If it comes down to a serious consideration


of removing the dam, we think it would be
time well spent to simply open the draw-down
structure and leave it open all the time to see
what happens with a natural rise and fall of
the lakes. If the lakes improve in their
recreation posture, then take out the dam.
We wouldn't go along with a removal of
the dam to see if it would cure the problem of
the Dead, Lakes without first doing some
serious research.


Has Senator Hawkins Forgotten Campaign Promise?


Senator Paula Hawkins has effectively
ruled out a large portion of the people of
Florida from having some representation in
the selection of prospective federal judges to
serve the people of Florida. ,
Recently, Senator Hawkins named a
five-member committee to screen prospective
federal judges behind closed doors. In so
doing, she cut Florida's Senator Lawton Chiles
out of the selection action.
Senator Chiles also represents the people
of Florida. People voted for Senator Chiles to
look after their interests just as they did

We remember Senator Hawkins' cam-

against last year.
As Senator Hawkins has set up the judge
selection panel, it appears as if she alone will
have the final word on who is to be selected to
serve all of Florida.
This isn't the first time Senator Hawkins
has stumped her toe since being elected and


we feel she will do so again in the future. After
all, she is a freshman Senator and is expected
to make some mistakes. But when she

get the real acid test.
I hope we pass the test.
I FEEL LIKE THERE is going to
be a lot of what went on in Bay County
last week.
The owner of property around a
lake which people used for recreation
simply closed it off to the general public
because they created such a mess on
his property and had no respect for the


property.
People are slobs and inconsiderate.
It's a marvel to me more property
owners haven't followed suit and closed
their property for use by the general


public.
It's a mystery to me why more
property owners don't do this in Gulf
County as well. There's hardly a public
gathering place in the county where one
can't find bushels of garbage and
debris, fences torn down, facilities
damaged, flowers and shrubs knocked
down by vehicles, etc.
That is also one of the main reasons
why it is now impossible to hunt on just


any vacant land one can find. The
people who have used the land in the
past have been such poor stewards of
what belonged to somebody else, the
owners have just gotten tired of it and
was^ ',


locked the gate.
Gulf County tries to maintain a
park at the end of Road 22 near
Wewahitchka on the banks of the
Apalachicola River. If the park is kept
up, it takes a visit every day by county
employees to do things like unstop the
plumbing, replace stolen light bulbs,
replace torn up fixtures, carry off
garbage dumped on the ground, etc.
People just don't care how they treat


these facilities which have been fur-
nished for their enjoyment.
There are numerous places in Gulf
County people can use for recreation,
but their number will begin to dwindle
if the people don't become a little bit
more civilized and realize they are a
guest of the property owner.
People are like pigeons, they can't
be satisfied until they have fouled their
, own nests.

THE DOT HAS said we cannot
expect Highway 71 to be re-surfaced
until sometime in the mid-80's.
Isn't that a happy thought?
This tid-bit of information came
right on the heels of an article I read
last week stating the Army was going to
quit using the Jeep. That means it will
only be a short time before a Jeep will
be extinct.
Now, we need them to traverse
Highway 71 and their future supply is
in doubt.
We will be marooned.
With our roads getting in the shape
they are, we can now lay claim to the
slogan which was coined for this part of

Lisa Ray and Calvin Dean Are


Named Annual DAR Good Citizens


The April meeting of the St.
Joseph Bay Chapter
Daughters of the American
Revolution, held Wednesday,
April 15, was the last meeting
to be held at the Garden
Center before the summer re-
ess,.
The May meeting is sch-
eduled for May 20 at the home
of Mrs. W.O. Cathey, Jr., at
Mexico Beach. The group will
meet at 5:30 p.m. for a
covered dish supper, after
which the Chapter will recess
until October when the 1981-82
year will begin.
. April is always DAR Good
Citizenship Month, and this
meeting is one of the most
teresting and enjoyable of
the year. Following the reg-
ular Ritual, led by Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Mark Tomlinson,
Chaplain, Mrs. V.H. Hoffman,
Jr., Chairman of DAR Good
Citizens and program chair-
man for the day, was present-
ed by Mrs. Eda Ruth Taylor,
Vice-Regent, to explain the
purpose of the committee and
its accomplishments, using
the title, "Perpetuating the
Spirit of Good Citizenship in
our Schools". '
To develop this theme, two
outstanding young people had
been selected as DAR Good
Citizens, Lisa Ray of Port St.
Joe High School, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Al Ray, and
Calvin Dean from Wewa-
hitchka High School, two very
busy young people, in school,
in church, and in community,
both concerned with activities
that develop character and'
leadership and promotes love
of God and country.
Mrs. Hoffman presented
Lisa Ray, included in "Who's
Who Among American High
School Student," excerpts
from the splendid essay she
had written. Beginning with
early days in American, Lisa
shared many interesting bits
of history down through the
years Among other things she
mentioned Lincoln and his


desire for "A New Burst of
Freedom". She urged support
for our new president and
backing for today's space
program.
Calvin Dean, also involved
in sports, in gardening and
livestock, emphasized Patriot-
ism. He discussed historical
events, democracy, and dwelt
on the freedoms of America
and the Articles of Confed-
eration. He said "The United
States means people drawn
together," and that we should
take more interest in our
government, that instead of
criticizing, work together to-
ward making things better.
Mrs. Hoffman presented
Lisa and Calvin with the DAR
Award, including certificates
and pins. The mothers, Mrs.
Ray and Mrs. Dean, were
given the happy privilege of
pinning the young people.
In the business session the
members voted to buy the new
edition of the book, "Ameri-
can Patriots," to be placed on
the Geneological Shelf in the
library, and Mrs. Browne
announced that the future of
Cape San Bias is now in the
hands of the National Park
Service, and that all related
organizations should promote
its reservations.
Mrs. Benny Roberts, in her
report on National Defense,
expressed gratitude for the
success of the Space Shuttle.
Quoting Admiral Thomas B.
Hayward, the chief of Naval
Operations, "We are now
trying to meet a three-ocean
requirement with a one and a
half ocean Navy". He also
said "The World is becoming a
more, not less, dangerous
place for the Uqited States":
that years after Pearl Harbor
our nation is incredibly un-
prepared to undertake our
national defense. "He pleads
for national unity: for national
pride, and individual effort of
all citizens in support of our
military forces.
Mrs. Roberts said that it is


the duty of parents and
schools to teach children
patiotism.
Mrs. Brown expressed ap-
preciation to members for the
support given to her this year
in all areas of work. She also
announced that at the recent


State Conference (94 chapter
represented) the St. Joseph
Bay Chapter Press Book, the
work of Mrs. Ralph Swatts,
Sr., Chairman of Public Re-
lations, had received a lovely
award for having the most
pictures and the most articles.

White City's residents and the
determination of the ten part-
icipants, a winning tally of
$245.28 was raised to help
children in Florida who suffer
with cystic fibrosis in the CF
Bike-A-Thon.
"We couldn't have done it
without the support of the
wonderful sponsors and part-
icipants who gave so much to
help Cystic Fibrosis Founda-
tion in its battle against the
genetic disease, cystic fi-
brosis," says Mrs. Donna
Harcus, chairman of the
event.

the grand prize for the Bike-A-
Thon by collecting pledges of
$71.80. She was awarded the

Thank you, God,
for Little Things
Thank you, God for little
things
that often come our way,
The things we take for granted
but don't mention when
we pray.
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly
deed
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need,
Oh make us more aware, dear
God,
of little daily graces.
That come to us with "sweet
surprise"
from never dreamed of

Letters from Leonard...


LeonardJ.Hail
ntative th, District
t the second week of the
ilan draws toea close there
e, several bills that arose
i&ch I feel may be of
p~htaice. One such bill we
aed .was House Bill 75
& eq e the placement
ldb n'toa mother who
prisoB outside the con-
Sf the prison. In essence,


we repealed a law that had
been passed which allowed
mothers to keep their babies
with them if the child was born
while they were in prison.
The House of Representa-
tives took the position that
prison is no place for an
infant. We believe that the
child should be placed in a
home environment, rather
than kept in prison. We also


provided some means of al-
lowing -a judge to use his
discretion about how to deal
with a pregnant woman who
has been sentenced to prison.
Concerning another issue, I
met with Governor Graham
and Transportation Secretary
Jacob Varn this week regard-
ing the funding of resurfacing
projects in District Nine, as
well as the continued funding

stoner Money voting "nay".
rt Commissioner Money then.

his own convictions in this
matter, and that he had not
t'h been approached by any per-
i" son concerning his position on
this issue.
,ACounty Health Department
: Chairman Tankersley sub-
mitted a letter from Dr. W.T.
Weathington advising the
Board that he would be
., avalable to attend a joint
fe$ .'teeeting of the Board and
'/the Health Department Per-
S't^gosnnel. Commissioner Gort-
man then moved that the
iy Bord _write a letter asking for
SWeathington's resigna-
tlon. Commissioner Birming-
:,-seconded the motion. A
^ 'toh. Commissioner Birng-
^ lam seconded the motion. A

:" twiy tthe investigative report
been made public record. He
stated that he felt that Dr.
:.WVeathiigton was working un-
S handicap inthat he is the
h cy-'onie in. Gulf County one
,;:*y a week. Commissioner
Branch further stated that
From all signs, Dr. Weathing-
.ton is a poor administrator,
Sand that although the Board
had previously told Dr. Weath-
6 ij ington to get control of the
Health Department, no follow
up action had been taken by
,the Boardand possibly Dr.
V Weathington does believe that
be has done what the Board

S More discussion followed.

S'. Commissioner Birmingham
S, seconded the motion for dis-


-cussion. Commissioner Birm-
ingham then asked for Mr.
Pitts comments on the motion.
Mr. Pitts said that his main
concern would be with the
time available he could spend
with the Health Department.
Commissioner Branch. then
stated that he felt the Board
was asking too much of Mr.
Pitts considering his present
work load. Commissioner
Branch made a substitute
motion, that the Commis-
sioners in charge of each
Health Department should
take control of their respec-
tive departments in Wewa-
hitchka and Port St. Joe.
Commissioner Money secon-
ed the motion and it carried

sioner Branch made a motion
to write the Boards of Com-
missioners in other counties
concerning Dr. Weathington's
performance in the Health
Departments in those
counties. Commissioner

but it failed to pass with
Commissioners Branch and
Money voting "aye", and
Commissioners Birmingham,
Gortman, and Tankersley vot-
ing "nay" Commissioner

motion to place Administra-
tive Assistant Tommy Pitts in
charge of both health depart-
ments after reducing his pre-
sent work load and ask the
State to terminate Dr. Weath-
ington in Gulf County and
supply the county with an-
other doctor. Commissioner

motion for discussion after
which a vote was taken. Com-
missioner Tankers ley voted
"aye" and Commissioner
Gortman, Branch, Money and
Birmingham voted "nay".

Money, and William R.
Branch. Others present were:
George Y. Core and Elizabeth
M. Cumble, Deputy Clerks, K.
E. Murphy, Sheriff and Wil-
liam J. Bash, Attorney.
The meeting came to order
at 6:15 p.m. The meeting was
opened with prayer, followed
by the pledge to the flag.


County Health Department
The Chairman announced
that this meeting was called
for the purpose of meeting
with members of the Gulf
County Health Department in
an effort to get to the bottom of
trouble plagued personnel pro-
blems that has been an
ongoing situation for a long
time and to make every effort
to straighten out his unaccept-
able situation.
Personnel present from the
Health Department were: Dr.
E. C. Prathers District Pro-
gram. Supervisor, John
Pierce, Attorney, District II
Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services, Dr.
T. Weathington County Health
Director, Mr. N. C. Schwei-
kert, County Environmental
Director, R. H. Harden and
Myrtice Dean, Public Health
Nurses, Era Luckie and Helen
Montgomery, Clerks.
Commissioner Gortman,
Commissioner in charge of the
Wewahitchka Health Depart-
ment, briefed the Commission
and the .audience on the
problems and misunderstand-
ings existing in both the Port
St. Joe and Wewahitchka
Health Department. He stated
that he has been working in an
effort to cure these problems
existing; between the two
departments, including dif-
ferences between certain per-
sonnel, the Director and the
Environmental Director; that
instead of the situation getting
better, it has steadily declined
and we have failed to resolve
these troubles. We are here
tonight to see that this pro-
blem is ironed out and running
smooth again.
Commissioner Money, in
charges of the Port St. Joe
Health Department, sug-
gested that. some of the
problems have been caused by
travel pay and he discussed
this with Dr. Weathington and
asked how travel pay was
arrived at. Dr. Weathington,
explained how the in-county
mileage allowances were set
out in the Florida Statutes. He
further stated the Environ-
mental Director had filed a
grievence against him be-
cause travel pay to a meeting
in South Florida was denied
him and that the travel pay
was not pre-approved, this
being the reason the trip was
not paid for. In a long
discussion that followed, all
members of the Health De-
partment, Dr. Prather, Mr.
John Pierce of the Depart-
ment of Health and Rehabil-
itative Services, and interest-
ed citizens spoke on theissue.
The Chairman asked Dr.
Weathington if he authorized
Mr. Schweikert to attend the
meeting in South Florida, the
one that the travel pay was not
paid. Dr. Weathington said he
did not give pre-approval
because funds were not avail-
able, but he arranged for him
to ride with the Environ-
mental Director from Calhoun
County; that he did not ride
with the Calhoun County Di-
rector, but later turned in a
travel voucher for the mileage
allowance for the trip. He said
that this is what the grievance
is about.
Dr. Prather said that the
Health Department operated
under Chapter 154, Florida
Statutes, which means it fol-
lows the State Personnel Pol-
icy as to travel pay, as well as
in every other area.
Commissioner Branch
asked Dr. Prater if all person-
nel could be fired and start all
over with new personnel. The
answer was no, because we
must follow the State Person-
nel Policy and it cannot be
done that way.
Whereupon, there was a
motion by Commissioner
Gortman seconded by Com-
missioner Money, and
By Commissioner Money, and
it was unanimously carried,
that the Board rescind the
prior action in this matter as
to asking for Dr. Weathing-
ton's resignation for a period
of 90 days, but that if the
problem is not resolved within
the 90 day period, that all
Health Department personnel
be dismissed and start over
again with new personnel.
The meeting did then ad-
journ.
James L. Tankersley,
Chairman
ATTEST:
Jerry Gates, Clerk


for the four-laning of High-
way 231. So far, no one has any
answers as to why the 231-
project disappeared from the
Department of Transporta-
tion's five-year plan; and, no
plans have been made for its
continuation in the future.
Last year we thought we had
guaranteed the funds for this
through the appropriations
process. However, after the
session was over it was
decided these monies were a
loan; and, subsequently we
lost these funds. We will have
to just keep on working to
have these projects once again
become a top priority.
House Bills Passed
House Bill 130
Makes the unlawful killing
of a human being when
committed by a person at-,
tempting to escape from pri-
son a first degree murder
charge; makes it second de-
gree murder when someone.
other than the person attempt-
ing to escape from prison kills
another during the attempted
escape.
House Bill 304
Expands the arrest powers
of certain special officers of
the Department of Agricul-
ture, Divsion of Forestry.
House Bill 305
Adds the necessary
language to make the law
against selling drug para-
phenalia constitutional. Dur-
ing the 1980 legislative session
this was called the "Headshop
Bill". However, the Florida
Supreme Court ruled the law
unconstitutional as there was
no intent language included in
the law. This bill simply adds
the necessary language to
make the law constitutional.

DRAGON TEAM 4-81


On Friday, April 3rd, Eglin
Air Force Base was the scene of
a highly successful military
exercise which will enhance
U.S. military capability all
around the globe. The military
exercise, formally known as
"Dragon Team 4-81," was
conducted over the B-70 drop
zone in the Eglin reservation.
At this site, communication
vehicles, jeeps, howitzers, mor-
tars, ammunition, and over
1800 paratroopers dropped
from C-130 and C-141
transports. In a period of less
than 25 minutes, the troops
had already begun mobilizing
on the ground.
Dragon Team 4-81 was a
mock-up rehearsal for the
Rapid Deployment Force. The
Rapid Deployment Force
(RDF), which could con-
ceivably range from 2,000 to
200,000 troops, depending on
the situation, is meant to re-
spond quickly to situations
around the world which may
endanger our nation's security,
.This was the largest air drop by
U.S. armed forces since World
War II.
Although at first glance the
deployment of, 1800 men and
equipment may seem to be a
relatively short and simple
task, there were many hours of
preparation and planning
among three separate branches
of our armed forces. Accord-
ing to Col. Bill Harrison, who
elaborated on the exercise
while it was taking place, the


entire operation consisted of
three phases. The first phase
took place Thursday night
when the troops involved
began preparing for the jump
which would occur the next
day. Phase two consisted of the
actual dropping of heavy
equipment and the 1800
paratroopers. Phase three of
the exercise involved a simula-
tion of actual combat where
the troops seized enemy
strongholds and strategic
points. The third phase lasted
approximately four days.
Since the inception of the
Rapid Deployment Force over
a year ago, there has been
much debate in Washington as
to whether the RDF could con-
ceivably meet the tasks for
which it was designed. Critics
have contended that a strained
airlift capability, obsolete
equipment, and inadequate
personnel would be the
downfall of the RDF. Lt.
General P.X. Kelly; who is the
overall commander of the
Rapid Deployment Force, is
optimistic that the RDF will be
more than able to respond to a
variety of situations which
would have severe conse-
quences to our nation's secur-
ity. The Reagan Administra-
tion and Congress have already
expressed their support of the
RapidpDeployment program in
shoring up our defense
capability.
Although much has been

Merger Agreement


George C. Whitner, Presi-
dent and Chief Executive
Officer of Florida Natdolpa
Banks of Florida, Inc., aind
John D. Uible, President of
Alliance Corporation, an-
nounced today that the Boards
of the two companies have
reached an agreement in
principle to merge Alliance
into Florida National. The
agreement is subject totIhe
execution of a definitive,
agreement and regulatory ap-
proval.
Alliance is a privately-held
bank holding company which
had combined assets of ap-
proximately $177 million as of
March 31, 1981. It owns Jack-
sonville National Bank and
Charter Mortgage Company.
Charter Mortgage has a mort-
gage servicing portfolio in
excess of $2.1 billion and ranks
as the nation's 25th largest
mortgage banking comapny.
Jacksonville National Bank
has total assets of $177
million with total deposits of
approximately $141 million.
Under the terms of the
agreement, Florida National
will exchange approximately
1.39 million shares of Florida
National, presently in its
treasury, for all of the out-
standing shares of Alliance.
Upon the consummation of the
transaction, the former share-
holders of Alliance will own
approximately 15.6 percent of
the then outstanding shares of
Florida National. After the
merger, certain principal of-
ficers of Alliance will take
positions of senior manage-
ment responsibility with Flo-
rida National. Mr. Uible will
join Florida National's Board
of Directors as Vice Chair-
man.
Mr. Whitner will continue to
serve as President and Chief
Executive Officer of Florida
National. Florida National is
the fourth largest bank hold-
ing company in Florida with

Weatherspoon

Re-Enlists
Sgt. Sidney D. Weather-
spoon, son of Mrs. Voncile
Weatherspoon of 232 Ave. F,
Port St. Joe, has reenlisted in
the U.S. Army in Wackern-
heim, West Germany, for an
additional three years mili-
tary service.
He is an air defense artillery

assistant in Wackerheim.

91 banking offices throughout $2.4 billion as of March 31,
the state and total assets of 1981.


The Gulf County Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners proposes to
regulate the use of land within the
area shown in the map in this adver-
tisement.
A public hearing on the proposal


said about our deteriorating
armed forces, the Rapid
Deployment Force represents a
rejuvenated spirit on the part
of our nation's military men
and women and our nation's
citizens who clearly see that the
pendulum has begun to swing
the other way. I'm optimistic
that America will regain its
defense stature, perhaps not
tomorrow but in the very near
future.

To the Citizens


of Gulf County

The notice shown below is for
the purpose of informing you of a
public hearing on Gulf County's Com-
prehensive Plan. Gulf County, Port St.
Joe and Wewahitchka were required
to prepare and adopt a comprehen-
sive plan by order of the Legislature
and Governor in the "Local Govern-
ment Comprehensive Planning Act of
1975" (Florida Statutes 163.3161
-163.3211). It is not the Intent of tlhe
Board of County Commissioners to
add regulations to the use of your
land, but merely to comply with this
law. To us, this is just another exam-
ple of State-mandated programs forc-
ed on the local taxpayers and govern-
ments.
Copies of the Comprehensive
Plan are available for your review at
the.Clerk's Office in the Courthouse,
the City Halls of Port St. Joe. and
Wewahitchka, and the Libraries In

Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka.
