To RepairAir Conditioner

County Board Lets

$63,800 Repair Bid

With a little reluctance on
their part, the County Com-
mission hesitantly agreed to
award a bid to renovate the air
conditioning system at the
Gulf County Courthouse Tues-
day 'night in their regular
meeting.
The Board had received
only one bid on the project,
two weeks ago, and had held
the bids for study before,
awarding the job to Peaden
Air Conditioning and Heating,
of Panama City. Peaden had
bid $63,800 for the job.
Architect Charles Arthur
Gaskin had advised the Board
the bid was in line, even'
though it was slightly above
estimate. Gaskin said the
material prices contained in
the bid were good, but he felt
the labor prices were slightly
high.
Peaden has since defended
his bid with an itemized
outline of the job to the
architect and the Board, out-
lining his expenses expected.
All of the board agreed that
Peaden had a good reputation
and would probably do the
county a good job, but the fact
that only one bid was received
had them uncertain as to what
their decision should be.
Commissioner Doug Bir-
. mingham moved that the bid
. be rejected and the county
re-advertise the job.
The motion 'couldn't find a
seconding motion and died.
S...Commissioner Jimmy Gorl-
man said 'he'wo~oil"then call
architect Gaskin for advice
and the meeting was recessed
for the..call.
After the'call, and conversa-
tion with Gaskin, the Eoard
agreed to. award the bid to
Peaden.
Gaskin again assured the ,
Board the 'bid was within
limits and the firm was
competent. The Board decided
to proceed with awarding the
bid when it was revealed that
going for new bids on the
project would delay comple-
tion of the repairs by 30 more
days and would possibly take
the project into the summer.
Too, the heating system of the
Courthouse is incorporated
into the air conditioning sys-

tern and would be affected by
a lack of operation by the air

IN THE MIDDLE
The Board was caught in the
middle of an argument by a
builder and his client Tuesday
night.
Lee R. Monroe was charg-
ing that he had paid Bill Pitts
"over $90,000" to build his
home at Gulf Aire and he was
not satisfied with the results.
What brought the argument
to. the Commission was an
application by Pitts to get

building permits for another
house in the subdivision.
Building Inspector, Dewayne
Manuel was uncertain as to
whether or not to issue the
permits with the complaint
against Pitts.
Manuel said, "He has built
the house according to code,
which is all we are bound by
law to inspect, but Mr. Monroe
still has complaints that there
are things wrong with the
construction." .
Manuel asked, "Should I
issue the permit?"

Monroe brought some of his
complaints to the Commission

Construction Started On Ramp

Workmen of B&B Marine, are shown
removing excess sand from the proposed site
of a boat launching strip being constructed at
Indian Pass in this photo taken last week. The
company is sinking concrete sheet piling into
the sand, like the ones in the foreground, to
try to stabilize the launching ramp from the
ravages of the tides.
The new boat launching site is being built
by the county, using some grant money from
the State of Florida, and some county money

on the project.
Fishing in the Indian ,Pass area is a
popular place for area. sportsmen but
facilities for gaining access to the pass have
been few.
The new boat ramp is being constructed
at the end of the Indian Pass Beach road-
which dead ends at the narrowest point of the'
pass, which lies between the mainland and St."
Vincent Island.

Elevation Requirements Set from 8 to 21 Feet In Flood Prone Areas

In a matter of only a few months, now, Port
St. Joe and Gulf County will'have an approved
permanent flood elevation', determination,
which will regulate construction of buildings
and use of lands in low-lying lands which are
prone to flooding. The designation is necessary
for a permanent rate for flood insurance. Flood
insurance is now a necessary item for buildings
being built with money borrowed from
government-insured agencies or lending insti-
tutions.
According to a notice mailed a week ago to
city and county governments in Gulf County,
local governments have just completed a 90
a final designation of the flood elevations have
been set and the governments now have 90 days
in which to appeal the decision made by
Federal Emergency Management Agency, who
set the elevations.
The new law will mean that buildings built,
especially along the shoreline in Gulf County,

will have to have their floor level raised to a
certain point above sea level before they will
qualify for flood insurance. If they do not
qualify for flood insurance, neither do they
qualify for mortgage money from a federally
insured financial suurce.
Gulf County and Port St. Joe were notified
of their designated building levels in certain
areas of the county in July of this year. Public
hearings were held after proper public
notification, in September. The subsequent 90
days to appeal have since passed and the notice
last week is stating the building requirement is
now going into the books.
The notice to the county and city was
notifying the local governing bodies they were
now being charged with the responsibility of
passing local ordinances which will make the
new requirement legally enforceable. Even
though the building level has been designated
by the federal agency, Gulf County and Port St.
Joe can lose their flood insurance eligibility if

they fail to adopt the necessary ordinances.
The adopted standards in the proposed
ordinances will include the minimum require-
ments.- Builders may still construct at a higher
level of, elevation than required .under the
ordinance'.
LOCAL EFFECT
How will the new requirement affect local
property owners?
One of the first effects which will be shown
from the new ordinance is a change in flood
insurance rates. Presently, everyone is paying
the same rate for flood insurance and the
insurable limits are very small. Under the new
requirement, most flood insurance rates will go
down and the insurable limits will be far
greater than they now are. According to local
insurance people, property which is located in a
high flood-prone area will'probably see their
flood insurance premiums go up. People away
from the waterfront or flood-prone areas will'
see their rates drop.

In the future, all buildings must consider
the requirements of the area in which they plan
to build as to building floor elevations. If a
building is built outside the requirements, flood
rates increase for buildings built below the
minimum requirement and lower for those
above the requirements.
Communities which fail to enact the
necessary flood plain management regulations
will be suspended from participation in the
program and subject to the prohibitions
contained in the law.
Insurance coverage on buildings built prior
to the new law may still purchase flood
insurance at subsidized rates, unless substan-
tial improvements are made.
ELEVATION REQUIREMENTS
Elevation requirements in Gulf County are
varied as to the location, but all of the more
stringent requirements are along the water-
front areas. Along the shoreline of St. Joseph
Bay, for instance, buildings must be built 10

feet above sea level to qualify. Along the
shoreline of St. Joseph State Park, eight feet is
the required building level. Along the shoreline
of the Gulf of Mexico at St. Joe Point and Cape
San Blas, buildings may be built a minimum of
nine feet above sea level. Along Indian
Peninsula, an elevation of 10 feet is required.
and 11 feet of elevation is necessary along the
shore of Indian Lagoon.
Oddly enough, the most stringent require-
ments are along the shores of the rivers in the
county. At a confluence of the Brothers River,
where it joins the Apalachicola River, the re-
quired elevation is 13 feet. At an area
approximately 3,000 feet downstream of the
confluence of the Apalachicola and Chipola
Rivers, the elevation must 21 feet.
Maps are available giving the required
elevation at the Gulf County Courthouse in the
Clerk's office, for those who wish to build
before the ordinances are passed and comply
with the -new regulations.

atement, "Florida cannot afford

s Who would argue with, that?
According to the Democrat's editor-
il, a group by the name of

arguing with that. They seem to be

Concerned Black Educators in

: the tests are "an academic electric

teachers "an endangered species".
Were we a black teacher in
training or in practice, we would
resent the organization's complaint
of the tests. The teacher evaluation
test has been described as being at
mn eighth-grade level and is the
same test given to all teachers;
black, yellow, white or chartreuse.
Those who have evaluated the test,
say, in effect that a prospective

As we read it, the wage increase

a 27 percent automatic increase to
go into effect the first of the year. If
he didn't vote, the same situation'
would result. If he voted "yes", he
received a 15 percent pay increase
and saved the tax payer money in
the bargain. It's the best of .all`

Our teacher training institutions
should take this group to task. They
are also saying the teacher training
facilities are not working because
the teachers they are turning out are
not trained at least trained
enough to do what an eighth grader
ought to be able to 'do.
It seems to us that teachers who
couldn't meet this standard,teaching
in black"schools-'in' years' past- was
'-what spurred the integration move-
ment in the first place. At least we
thought it was a genuine desire to
improve rather than just a social
pique to mix which caused such an
upheaval in our society.
We think the change was for the
better, but it won't remain that way
if we begin lowering the standard to
meet the untrained capabilities
rather than demanding the training
of our teachers to at least be capable
of imparting more knowledge to our
children than they already have.
If a teacher can't pass an eighth
grade level test, whether he or she
be black or white, they have no
business teaching in Florida's
schools. As a matter of fact, we
would hope the standards for'
teachers would remain at just a cut
above the eighth grade level.

To all the speedsters, sprint-

sit down and shut up! Not one
of you could have come close
to me the night this feat was'
accomplished. Here's what
happened. .. .'.
It was a Saturday and I was
fifteen years old. I had worked
hard that Saturday morning
and my father promised me I
could go to the movie that
afternoon, providing I finished
my work. I just 'finished in
time to grab some lunch and
catch the bus for the seven
mile trip to Pensacola. My
constant companion and cou-
sin, Denver, could not make
the trip that day for some
forgotten reason, so I was
alone going to see a double-
feature, both of them horror
movies. I was a brave lad in
the daylight!
I really don't remember
what the movies were and it's
not 'important. The important
thing is that I sat through
them twice, from one p.m.
until ten-thirty p.m. For al-
most ten hours I sat and
watched two gory, horrifying
movies. All this time I was
aware that I had a distance of
over a quarter of a mile to
walk (from the bus stop to my
home) after I stepped off the
bus. 1 became .acutely. aware
of the gravity of my sittion
the closer we came to the bus
stop. I was the last one on the
bus. ,
When I stepped off the bus at
the corner of Olive Road and
Davis Highway I was amazed
at the brightness of the night.
It was a full moon, just like in
one of the movies, and a
pleasantly cool summer even-
ing. The brightness of the Old Cloc

Christmas Is Oer and Well Into Using the Several Gifts I Received

and disappointed. Gifts aren't neces-
shry to make me enjoy Christmas.

One of my gifts was a book from a
S brother in Atlanta. Little brother,

number four, sent me a personally
autographed book by Lewis Grizzard, a
columnist of the Atlanta Constitution
and Journal.
I already have two of Grizzard's

books, "Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love
You" and "Won't You Come Home,
SBilly Bob Bailey". Grizzard 'has
another book out, which I don't' have.
.As you can tell from these two
titles, Grizzard writes on the more
serious vein. If you're not familiar with
the writings of Lewis Grizzard, he's
sort of in the ballpark as a mile Erma

IN HIS NEW BOOK, which is"
entitled, "They Tore Out My Heart and

Grizzard appreciate barbecue all the
more).
At age 35, he had a valve replaced
int his heart with one from a pig. There
was soul searching as to whether or not
he would go rooting in the back yard, if
he would revolt at eating his favorite
Georgia pork barbecue, or if he would
get an uncommon strong urge to make
love in a mud puddle.
Since the first attack on his heart in

the,back seat of the '57 Chevy when a
Coweta County' girl refused to "practice
kissing" with him, there had been a
continuous onslaught against poor
Grizzard's heart until those surgeons
got together, looked at his X-rays, and
decided to take out his heart and
"Stomli that sucker flat". It was
growing too large from a faulty aorta
valve which was replaced by the pig
valve.

I HAVEN'T READ all the book yet,
but I bave started. I don't know, yet, if
he has addressed the matter in the book
or not, but from having the same job as
he that of filling up a given amount of
space each week with a given number
of words I can see where Grizzard
likely won't let the opportunity go by to
observe that what got "Stomped Flat"
was his wallet. as well as maybe his
heart.

has jogged his memory.
His latest book, like the ones'
before, is a collection of his columns,
but the new one is more or less a
continuous story, sort of like a soap
opera on TV. In his other books,
Grizzard just picks out a lot of the
stories he has written in his columns
and put them together for a book. This
newest book deals with his heart from
front to back to make it an uncommon
Lewis Grizzard book in that respect.
Having been in the hospital myself
for some major surgery in the past two
years and hearing some of my local
friends talk about their own open heart
surgery, I have come to see where this
newest book has been written for a
purpose.
It is my observation that possibly
Grizzard got his hospital and doctor
bills about the day before he sat down to
put this'latest book together. If you
have a heart murmur and can't
purchase hospital insurance, you have
to pay the bills somehow, and writing a
book about the adventure of running up
the bill is just as good a way as any.

four times this year, each time for two

The plant has helped the local
economy with an expensive construc-

to be more competitive on the market,
reduce its fuel oil needs almost by half
and has kept a number of men

known;
GOOD NEWS
Gulf County had some good news,
to go along with the shady economic
news.
The good economic news was that
a new industry, Raffield Shipbuilding
got underway and produced three
complete boats during the year and
had another under construction.
This firm, too, was hit hard by the
economy, especially the money bor-
rowing costs segment of the economy.
It cost too much to finance one of the
large multi-purpose fishing boats for
the average operator to buy one.
Other good news during the year
was that Gulf. County had only one
traffic fatality during the year.

lives on Gulf Coun.' highways each,
year, but ony one died'[ nan accident
during 19821 .
Gerald y.8arnes of Apalachicola

year. Barnes was killed when the
pick-up truck he was riding in crashed
into a tree on County Road C-30 just
about a mile this side of the Franklin
County line. .
A bee got in the truck and the
driver lost control of the vehicle as he
was trying to slap the bee.
Barnes died a few days later in-'a
Panama City_ hospital from his
injuries. ".:
PORT FINANCES
One of the most important stories
of 1982 was the story of progress made
by the Port St. Joe Port Authority in

County

-Imonitor Pitts' work for a
period of time t e future.
S -SPRUCIN JL- -
S -The Commission and Sheriff
: Ken Murphy agreed Tuesday
,-night to several projects for
Ethe Gulf County Jail which
:should make it more accept-
-able to the Department of

- securing the establishment of a deep
water port here in Port St. Joe.
After nearly four years in the
planning stage, the Port Authority
finally arranged for $30 million in
financing this year and used interest
earned on the money borrowed to
finance engineering and feasibility
studies fod the port.
The P6rt Authority had a promise
of a $35 million loan the first of the
year, but the promise fell through.
Then, in May,, chairman George
Tapper brought home a check for $30
million from Lehman Brothers, Kuhn
Leob, Inc., to get the actual work on
the project underway.
This project, too, has felt the
effects of, the national economic
situation, with firms reluctant to
commit themselves to any participa-
tion to this or any other port, but the
project is still moving, with tentative
construction plans approved early in
December for construction of a two
berth port.
DEAD LAKES DAM
The Dead Lakes in north Gulf
County also occupied the forefront of
the news during most of 1982 and could
probably easily qualify as one of the
most important stories to hit the front
pages in Gulf County during the year,
There was a lot of emotion in the'
Dead Lakes Dam story, which stirred
up interest all over the Panhandle of
Florida as forces went to court in
attempts to require the Dead Lakes
Management Committee to 'maintain
a water level in the lake, while the
Committee was determined to lower
the level of the lakes to allow partial
control over invading water weeds.
The Committee feels it has
learned the dam is one of the main
problems with: the declining fish
population .'and a cause of the
proliferation of noxious weeds in the
lakes. As a consequence, they have
asked state and federal authorities for
permission to remove the dam. The
committee stresses that permission to
do so does not mean they will remove
the dam. It does mean they will look
strongly at that possibility as a means
of retiring the lakes to more game
fish production. .

have organized and gone to court,
seeking injunctions to force .the
Committee to close a structure
designed to lower the level of water in
the lakes and to leave the dam in
place. The group, mostly Bay County
residents who own property along the
shore of the lakes, presently have an
injunction in force which has forced
the Committee to stop lowering the
level of the water until further action
can be taken in court.
This story should also provide
some interesting moments well into
the year of 1983,
OTHER IMPORTANT STORIES
There were a host of other
.important news stories during 1982
also.
One of the. more important
happenings was the stand-off between'
Property Appraiser Joyce Williams
and the Gulf County Commission.
Williams took the Commission to'
court to force funding of a $93,000
budget for her office while the'
Commission wanted to fund only'
$84,000 for the office.
The courts ruled that Williams
had given proper notice of her budget
and the Commission had not objected
within the proper time frame and so
were ordered to fund the budget. :.
THE CITY OF PORT ST. JOE
started making plans to spend some
$2.3 million on further renovations at,
the Wastewater Treatment Plant on
orders from the Department of
Environmental Regulation to do so.
The first of the contracts to make
the renovations was let in mid-Decem-,
ber for $1,048,000. Still to be contract-
ed for is dredging of sludge from the
plant's holding pond, which engineers,
and DER have said would .bring the
plant back into its limits for suspend- ,
ed solids and other effluent. :
AFTER NEARLY FOUR years of
waiting and promises and attempts to
catch a sympathetic ear, highways 71
and 22 finally started getting a new
coat of asphalt this past year; but not
before highway 71 was nothing but a*
stretch of patches and potholes from
Cypress Creek to Wewahitchka.
The contract was let on the
projects in February, with work
scheduled to begin in May. Workers

agreed to pursue improve-
ment of lighting and ventilat-
tion in the jail area and will
write to DOC informing them
of the progress being made.
The Commission is still
holding back on employing the
"additional 14 people the DOC
wants employed to oversee
housing and diet of the prison-
ers. Sheriff Murphy said he
felt the steps being taken by
the Commission should satisfy
DOC for a while at least.

"Was it a dog that ran into

looked, ready for the attack,
but there was nothing.' This
"unexpected turn of events
scared me even more. There
was- definitely something,
something I couldn't see, that.
was about to "get" ole' Shad!
Still glued to the same spot,
my mind raced. I had only one
chance and that was to run,
but not too quick. If I started
my flight too fast, I reasoned,
"IT"' would pursue me too
quickly and it would be all
over before the fight had
started. And there was going.
to be a fight! .
Frozen in the same spot,
staring at the same nothing, I
decided to turn and walk
slowly to the front door of the
church and at that time, if the
"Thing'.' hadn't devoured me,
I would make my "run." If the
encounter hadn't occurred by
then, I reasoned, "IT" would
be forced to eat me from the
shoe soles up because that is
all that would be showing. *
I thought I :would never
make. the front door' of the
church! When' I did, my first
step into flight was as fast as
any step I took. I was running
so fast that my feet, were
hardly touching the pavement
and it seemed the rush of the
wind (there was only the wind
my, running created) was
holding me back. There was
only a blur of "The Old

got into a tiff with sportsmen about
whether or not they should be allowed
to secure private oyster leases in the
Lagoon behind their homes.
The sportsmen won out, with the
County Commission failing to rec-
ommend the leasing and the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources refusing to
move unless the county made the
suggestion..
THE GULF COUNTY School
Board found itself some $150,000 under
budget when the State of Florida
reduced money promised to school.
districts in the .state by some 4.2
percent during 1982. The Gulf County
.board had already budgeted the
$150,000 and had to cut and reduce
some services to compensate for the
reduced funding. The School Board
was partially prepared for, the prob-
lem since they had reduced their
teacher force by 11 people at the end
of the previous school year.
PORT ST. .JOE'S long awaited
nursing home started construction in
April of this past year, after nearly
two years in the planning and talking
stage.
Larry Johnson of Pensacola, the
owner of other nursing homes, started
construction on half of the proposed
120 bed- structure and said he would
start building the other units for 60
more beds when the present project,
was finished and operating.
: The home was scheduled to be
finished in February of next year.
GULF COUNTY HAD a huge land
sale during the year, when the
McNeill property at Indian Pass was
sold to a Jacksonville developer.
Nearly 2,000 acres was involved in
the sale, with St. Joe Paper Company
ending up with a large portion of the .
land while the Jacksonville group
maintained large portions of the land
near highways for development into
subdivisions.
The McNeill property was what
was left of a tract which once
stretched from Port St. Joe to Indian
Pass and was operated as a lumber/
and naval stores operation by the

McNeill family back since the turn of
the century. The McNeill's came to
Gulf County in 1904 and set up the
operation.
GULF COUNTY BECAME the
only county in the State of Florida,
which didn't have a lounge featuring
nude or partially nude dancers to pass
an ordinance against the practice.
Lying beside Bay County, which was
forcing nude dancers to cover up in
Bay County, Gulf County officials felt
the business might spill over into Gulf
County to get away from the new
restrictions, and so made them illegal
here also.
The ordinance has stood up in
court.
ONE OF THE biggest material
tragedies of the year was the fire

"I have checked the distance

many times since then and the
results is always the same; it
is exactly one-quarter of a

twenty-two seconds to make

possible that it could have
taken less, but no more.
So, you see, I hold the
unofficial world's record for
the quarter mile. Whether you

consequence because I know,
Without any doubt, that I do. I
do not; however, ever want to

Planting Trees

and Shrubs

. By Roy Lee Carter County Extension Director
a|

..... With winter fast approach-
-:,ig, it soon will be time for
::--tiajor tree and shrub trans-
SVpanting, There are several
.advantages in planting during

December and the. winter,
instead of waiting until spring.
The plants are not actively,
growing during this time, and
less apt to be injured by shock

from planting. Too, the wea-
ther and moisture during the
winter season is very condu-

cive to good plant adjustment
as well as working weather for
the gardener. My information
for this article was provided
by IFAS Extension Horticul-
turist Dr. Robert Black.
Winter planting of trees and,
shrubs allows the plants tq
become well established prior:
to spring growth and- bloom;
and prior to summer heat,.
Research shows that roots of
plants continue to grow and.
develop during mild winter
days, even though foliage does
not.
You will find also that your
nurseryman has a good stock
of plants during the fall and-
winter, and too, he can give

you more time and attention
during this season, whereas he
cannot during the rush of
spring.
The success of your land-
scape will depend greatly on
.your ability to select plants
Which will fit your particular
need and situation.
Trees are always a must in
most landscapes whether
their purpose is for shade,
windbreaks, food, setting or
atmosphere, to add color or
beauty with bloom and foli-
age, or to add esthetic and real
estate value to the property.
All trees have advantages
and disadvantages, thus your

selection must be carefully
considered. Points for consi-
deration in choosing the prop-
er tree should include the
following:
Be sure the-tree you choose
will fit your landscape needs.
For example, fast growing for
quick shade, broad and
spreading for shade, dense for
a windbreak or for screening,
oi attractive blooms for an
accent;
Know the tree you select and
its growth requirements. Know
the tree's ultimate size and
plant accordingly. Does the
tree require special soil (dog-
wood and redbud require acid
and soil). Does the tree have

serious insects and diseases
and will require routine main-
tenance?;
Be sure the tree is tolerant
of your local weather. condi-
tions. Will it tolerate Florida's
summer heat, or is it too
tender for Northern and Cen-
tral Florida's winters?;
Do you want an evergreen
or deciduous tree? Deciduous
shade trees are recommended
as they allow the desirable sun
when void of leaves in, the
winter, whereas. an ever-
green tree may be desirable
for screening;
Consider overhead lines,
underground waterlines, sep-

tic tanks, etc., as well as
walks, drives, and paved
surfaces which may be dam-
aged by tree roots;
Know the. tolerance of the
tree" to salt spray. The South-,
ern Magnolia, Cajeput-tree,.
and the live oak are a few
among the group of trees
tolerant of salt'spray;
Lastly, obtain a quality tree
from a reliable nurseryman,
and plant it in a carefully
prepared spot., Following good
horticultural practices as to
proper soil, location, expo-
sure, watering, and spraying,
so that your investment in tfihe
tree is not lost through care-
lessness and lack of planning.

The. Medicare hospital in-
surance deductible- the
amount a person with Medi-
care is responsible for in a
benefit period- increases to,
$304 for benefit periods start-'

ing in 1983. The 1982 deductible
is $260.
Under the law, the deducti-
ble must. be increased to
reflect the rising costs of:
health care.

Congressman

A benefit period- the mea-
sure of use of services under
Medicare- starts the first
time a person enters a hospital
after hospital insurance pro-
tection begins. A new benefit.
period begins when the person
has been out of a hospital or
-other facility primarily pro-
viding skilled nursing or reha-
bilitation services for 60 days

in a row.
There is no limit on the
number of benefit periods a
person may have.
Also increased are certain
per-day amounts the person is
responsible for under hospital
insurance.
For the 61st through the 90th
day of inpatient hospital care,
hospital insurance pays for all

covered services except for
$76 a day in 1983. The 1982
figure is $65.
For each of 60 reserve days
of hospital inpatient care,
-hospital insurance pays all
covered services except for
$152 a day. The 1982 figure is
$130.

Reports

My legislation to prohibit
phosphate mining in the
Osceola National Forest last
week. passed both houses of
Congress and is now awaiting
the signature of the President.
This tremendous legislative
victory .the result of eight
years of hard work would not
have been possible without help
from many individuals .and'
organizations.
The fact that it passed in the
late hours of a lame-duck ses-
sion of Congress in the midst of
debate on such subjects as
funding government operations
for the rest of the year and the
gas tax, made approval of this
legislation all ihe more dramatic.
'Without the total bi-partisan
support of the Florida delega-
tion to the U.S. House of
Representatives and exhaustive
work by Sens. Lawton Chiles
and Paula Hawkins. the bill
;:would have been dead.
The Hquse had passed the
* legislation a year ago and sent
it to the Senate where it
languished in 'Committee for
mostt of the year. It had also
passed the house in 1980 to die
in the Senate. -
When it was finally con-
sidered by a Senate Committee
in October, one senator. ob-
jected to .it and thus stymied
action on it during the regular
Congressional session..
Sens. Chiles and Hawkins
worked with the objecting
senator to remove his objec-

administration had testified
against it.
While ,most of their con-'
cerns had been resolved before
the bill passed the House in late-
1981,, there, was still an underly-
ing fear that someone might ob-
ject when the bill, as amended
;Sunday in the Senate, was
brought before the House on
Monday for final passage.
The fact that the bi-panisan
Florida delegation was totally in
support of the legislation was of
immense value in overcoming
the objections -of the western
Republicans who had earlier ex- "
pressed their concerns.

Looming over the entire 'lass
issue was the threat by the Pe
Interior Department to start' form
issuing mining permits if the trar
legislation was not passed in Con-
this Congress.
The measure was brought
to the House floor on Monday The
under a procedure known as the are
"Consent Calendar",' which sapl
'imears' tha'i' the objectlior ot
even one of the 435 House
members would have killed it.
Among those deserving
credit for approval of the bill are
the Florida Cabinet and the
Florida Legislature, both of
which had spoken forcefully on
the issue; environmental 'and
conservation groups from
throughout the', state, and
newspapers in, the" Second'
District and throughout Florida
'which.had endorsed the mining
an .
I. 'rank this as bne of the
major pieces of environmental
legislation ever approved for the
'state of Florida and am ex-
tremely pleased and proud to
have been in.a leadership role in;
its accomplishment.
