USPS 518-880 FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 31 THE STAR Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1984 25 Per Copy - Board Approves Request Asks State Agencies to Remove Dam Immediately Jim Bozeman asks the County Commission to call on State agencies to go ahead with removal of the Dead Lakes dam. -Star photo The Gulf County Commission .is wasting no time in trying to get the expressed wishes of the public carried out. Tuesday night, they unanimously passed a resolution to be sent to state and cabinet officials to immediately remove the Dead Lakes Dam, in keeping with the expression by voters in both Gulf and Calhoun counties in the March 13 Presidential Preference Primary election. On that ballot a question asked whether or not Gulf and Calhoun county , voters wanted the dam removed in a straw ballot question. In Gulf County, voters approved removal of the dam by a vote of 1,501 to 536, while Calhoun County votes expressed the same sentiments by a six to one majority. Jim Bozeman, former chairman of the Dead Lakes Water Management Board, until he was removed by Governor Bob Graham in January of 1983, presented the, resolution to the Commission for adoption. "The people have said they wanted it out and now I'm asking you to go ahead and petition the Governor and state agencies to take it out. ' Attorney William J. Rish quipped, "In other words, instead of 'dam the torpedoes' it's to be 'torpedo the dam!' It took only a few short minutes for the Board members, present to act on the motion made by Commissioner Doug Birmingham and seconded by Commissioner Jimmy Gortman to ask the state to proceed with the process for removing the dam. Commissioner Billy Branch was not present at Tuesday night's meeting, but the four Commissioners present also agreed to the passing of the resolution. In order that everyone in authority know about the local request, copies of the resolution were sent to the Governor, the Florida delegation in Washington, D. C., the Department of Natural Resources, the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, the Northwest Florida Water Management District, Department of Environmental Regulation, Chipola Basin Protective Group and all state Senators and Representatives who serve the areas affected by the Dead Lakes and its watershed. The decision made by the voters through the straw ballot was not binding on lawmakers, but the results were considered as a mandate by the Commission who pointed out this opinion to all who were sent copies of the resolution. The final paragraph of the Resolution says: "Now, therefore, it is resolved that the Board of County Commissioners of Gulf County, Florida, implores the Governor .of the State of Florida, the Honorable Bob Graham, and all Legislators and commissioners, and agencies involved or associated with the Dead Lakes to adhere to the will of the people and remove the Dead Lakes immediately." Stormy Weather Mrs. Cynthia Maddox was injured with facial cuts when this com- pact car over- turned on Hwy 98 Tuesday morning, when the car skidded on slick pave- ment. -Star photo Woman Injured When Car Skids Cynthia Maddox of Port St. Joe, received painful head and face injuries when she lost control of her car and it overturned on Highway. 98 Tuesday morning. According to the Gulf County Sheriff's office, Mrs. Maddox was travelling west on Highway 98 about 8:30 a.m., when she attempted to pass a tank truck in her compact sedan. The driver of the truck says that Mrs. Maddox' car skidded sideways on the rain-slick pave- ment and went out of control. The car overturned and wound up on the shoulder of the road at the intersec- tion of Highway 98 and Butler Road. Mrs. Maddox was taken to Gulf Pines Hospital by the Port St. Joe squad of the Volunteer Ambulance service, where she was treated. Rain, Lightning, Tornadoes Lash Area Another "last gasp of winter" storm struck Port St. Joe and the Panhandle Tuesday morning, bring- ing 2.2 inches of rainfall to the City, according to Emily Simmons, who keeps a daily account of rainfall in the Port St. Joe area. A heavy rainstorm struck the city at .about 2 in the morning and rained in intermittent showers until about 9:00 a.m., when the rainfall slacked off to showers and misting. The rain didn't come down steadily Tuesday morning, but when it was raining, it was flooding! Accompanying the hea- vy rainfall were severe thunder and lightning, which caused several light- ning strikes in the area. Here in Port St. Joe, lightning hit the home of Mr. and Mrs. Greg Turner on St. Joseph Drive but did only minor damage. The bolts also struck a 150 horsepower electric motor at the Wastewater Treat- ment Plant, burning the motor up. Tornado watches were posted for the entire Pan- handle during the night Monday and Tuesday morning, but no incidents of tornadoes touching down were reported here in Gulf County. Attorney William J. Rish, left, reads the proposed resolution presented by Bozeman as Chairman Everett D. L. (Bobo) Owens ten- dered his resignation as head football coach and athletic director of Wewahitchka High School last week. Owens told The Star he had presented his resignation to the Gulf County School Board, effectively immed- iately. County Superintendent, Walter Wilder said the resig- nation had been accepted by the Board with principal Clayton Wooten and Owens to work out the time as to when the resignation would be- come effective. "The Board has accepted the resignation effective with the new school year which will begin in the fall", Wilder said. He stated he hoped Owens would finish out the current school year before formally relinquish- ing his position. Owens resigned a year ago, giving health reasons as the reason for his decision, but after getting a good. report from his doctor, resumed his work as athletic director and coach. "Not this time", Ow- ens said. "This time, it's for good". Owens has been in charge of the Wewahitchka athletic program for about seven years. Owens and Commissioner Jimmy Gortman listen atten- tively. -Star photo Supt. Happy Over Ruling Superintendent of Schools, Walter .i'.Wilder, expressed relief that the Supreme Court of Florida struck the Proposition I amendment from the 1984 ballot as it was written. The high court of Florida, in a unanimous decision, ordered the amendment removed from the ballot Tuesday, because, in, their opinion, the amendment contained more than one question., The Florida Constitution requires that amendments to the Constitution contain only one question- when it is placed on the ballot. Wilder told The Star, "I think there are some things in the proposed amendment which would require some serious consideration, but in its present status, it would be .devastat- ing to Florida's education program." Wilder said, "As the amendment is presently written, I'm glad the Supreme Court took the action they did". Passage of the amendment which would put Proposition I into effect would have had a devastating effect on the Gulf County school system, Superintendent Wilder said. In terms of dollars and programs, Wilder said, that at the present rate, the move would have cost Gulf County between 16.2 and 22.6 percent of its current budget "In dAllars and cents, it would cost us between $1.2'arid $1.4 million out of our $6 million budget", the Superintendent said. To place a perspective. on how much money would be affected by the amendment, Wilder said the estimated budget reduction amount is enough to pay for the entire operation of the Gulf County district, with.the exception of salaries and benefits for teachers and em- ployees. "There's no doubt about it; we. would have had to cut drastically on (Continued on Page 3) Nathan Peters, Jr. In City Contest Nathan Peters, Jr., became the first opposition in a City election in nearly three years Monday of this week when he paid his qualification fees to seek election for the City Commission post currently held by Alton Fennell. Fennell has indicated he will also run for re-election. According to City Clerk, Alden Farris, the qualification books will remain open until 20 days prior to the election. There was some uncertainty about this date, since election laws have been changed in the past year. Farris said a telephone call to the Attorney General Tuesday, confirmed the 20 day cut off time. A prospective candidate must be a resident of the City, a registered voter, and pay a $35.00 qualification fee. Fennell and Commissioner James B. Roberts are the incumbents for the May 8 election. Both have indicated they will seek re-election. Calif.

Port St. Joe Police receiv- ed a teletype message Sun- day from the San Francisco Police Department, saying Olive Gaston, also known as Samuel Stallworth and R. P. Martin, had left California jurisdiction and was thought to be in the area of his mother's home here in Port St. Joe. Gaston was wanted in SCalifornia for parole viola- tion. He had been convicted of child molestation and had been released on parole. Police officers Jim Savage and Randy Atchison located Gaston at 154 Avenue B and made the arrest. The fugitive is now in the Gulf County jail. Gulf County attorney Wil- liam J. Rish' informed the Commission Tuesday night that bids would be received and opened for the new Beaches water system con- struction on April 10, the next regular meeting of the Board. Rish said financing has been arranged with federal grants and loans approved to build the system and that construction bids are to be returned by the April 10 date. According to the engineer's estimates, work on construc- tion of the system should get underway by the latter part of May. Funds for the $1 million system have been arranged by the County Comrhission who have arranged for a government grant to finance half the project cost and a loan from Farmers' Home Administration for the other half. The system will utilize treated water from the Port St. Joe treatment plant, rather than construct an- other treatment plant in the area and drill more supply wells. Highland View will also receive a new water supply source from the system. A large supply main will be laid from the Port St. Joe treat- ment plant, all the way to the Beaches to supply the water source. The system will provide water for domestic consump- tion as well as fire protection. DRY TAPS For the past two months, the County has been taking deposits from people in the area who wish to hook up to the system and currently are making arrangements for property owners to pay a hook-up fee for property which is now lying vacant. Potential customers who want a water tap run to their property while the system is under construction, but who have no building on that property can make arrange- ments for the "dry tap". Tuesday night, the Com- mission agreed on a connec- tion fee of $50.00 and a deposit of $25.00 for a total of $75.00. The taps will also be billed $8.50 a month for a period of four years to make the bond payments on the system. If a customer hooks up at some time in the future and has not taken advantage of the "dry tap" arrangement, he will be billed $400 as a hook-up fee, to pay his share of the bond payments. The system already has over 350 customers signed up to start using the water system when it is completed. WATER PROBLEMS With the beaches water system ready to get under- way in western Gulf County, the Conimission is continuing to have small nagging prob- lems with the privately own- ed system in eastern Gulf county. Building inspector, De- wayne Manuel advised the Commission Tuesday that some lines had been installed without permits and in the wrong place in the Peninsula area recently. Manuel said at least two lines had been installed without permits and another line had been install- ed six feet from the road edge rather than eight feet as regulations require. Mark Hannon, who is in charge of the system said the two incidents were caused by misunderstandings. ."The people doing the installation thought I had permits when I had only applied for per- mits". Chairman Everett Owens asked for Hannon's cooperation in "tightening up" the performance of construction people in the beaches area. "When we come in with a piece of road machinery we'll tear every- thing up if is isn't in the right place", Owens said. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters, 9 the Commission: -Agreed to move the road beside William Carlisle's property at Overstreet after finding the existing road is located on Carlisle's proper- ty. Attorney Rish said the road had been built and given to the county by the late Samuel A. Patrick, but had been built, originally, in the wrong location. -Named Donald Shirah and Fred Buskins as mem- bers of the Florida Panhan- dle Industries Council. -Agreed to replace a culvert on Pine Street in Wewahitchka prior to paving of the street by the City. -Awarded a bid to St. Joe Motor Company for the pur- chase of a F-700 cab and chassis for the road depart- (Continued on Page 3) insurance on crops of corn,: cotton, grain, sorghum, pea- nuts and soybeans, according: to Commissioner of Agricul- ture Doyle Conner and J.: Porter Bull, director of the Federal Crop Insurance Cor- poration field office. Farmers wanting protec- tion for their spring-planted crops against natural dis- asters should contact an authorized crop insurance agent for more specific infor- mation about their individual farming operation's needs, Conner said. Local offices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's ASCS can provide lists of authorized agents, according to Bull, who said coverage can protect farmers against loss from flood, drought, fire and dther adverse weather effects. Owens Quits As Wewa Grid Coach _ _ Editorials and Comments THE STAR THURSDAY, MAR. 29, 1984 Pleased with High Court's Ruling The Florida Supreme Court ruled last Thursday on a matter which not only could be, but is of paramount importance to us here in Gulf County; especially those of us who live along the coast. For nearly a decade, now, we have had state and federal types coming in, looking over the area, drawing maps, doing survey work and drawing conclusions from slide rules and books rather than from experience. These rules have effec- tively put some of our property out of the useful category and ruled that the owners must, more or less, let the land remain as it now sits. The government people have, for all practical purposes, placed a :"Do not disturb" sign on a good portion of land which is owned by private individuals. That land is :still taxed at the going rate, but the owner has been forbidden to put to use property he had shelled out his money for. Now the Supreme Court has .ruled-just last Thursday-that there must be. some repealing of rules and relaxing of statutes which would zone a person's property to the point of being useless. The ruling was aimed at an aquatic preserve along Biscayne ,Bay, but there is property in Gulf County which has some of the same ultra restrictive rules and regula- tions placed against it. We think it o is only the proper thing to do for government to purchase land or reimburse the land owner for his loss when the state effectively zones property to the point where it is useless to the owner. Several times in the past we have expres- sed this belief, but now the Supreme Court is also saying the same thing. Maybe now, landown- ers of such property can receive some relief. This hasn't been a selfish position on our part; we don't own any of the land which has had such restrictions placed against it. We have had the position only because we think it fair. We support the idea that we must protect sensitive lands, but to rule that a person cannot use his property in any manner, no matter what protection of the environment the owner or user may be planning, is kin to confiscation. We don't profess to have the answer to the problem, but if the rules can be thought up which will effectively put some lands off limits simply because they have sand dunes on them or they're close to a body of marshlands, we're certain a rule of zoning can be produced which will protect both the land and the owner's interest. We're pleased that the Su- preme Court thinks so, too. 4 Vr S;pelltng Gains In Popularity In Gulf Schools The emphasis being placed on 'the ability to spell in our county schools, in recent years, is a step in the right direction for teaching our children the basic rudiments of education. The introduction of the annual spelling bee competition in recent years and its increasing level of competition, speaks as eloquently as anything for the increased emphasis on teaching Johnnie to cope. with his future. In order to spell, one has to understand how words are built. He has to understand how letters sound and how to put them together for particular sounds. The introduction of the spelling bees have encourag- ed more practical approaches to the basic building blocks of an education. Spelling bees in Gulf County are becoming more popular in our county, and we salute that situa- tion. Spelling properly and winning ' the annual spellingbee is-becoming more of a status symbol among the kids, which shows their interest in achieving something worthwhile. We have noticed, each year, it takes words which are harder and harder to spell to sit the competi- tion down. Our students are doing better and better in state competi- tion. That's a good sign. Attendance at one of the levels of competition shows student inter- est building to a fever pitch as the competition gets down to the time of decision as to who will win. One would almost think .he was at a football game when the champion- ship of the school or county is drawing down to the wire. If anything evokes as much interest as football in Gulf County, it is definitely catching on. ogging It's not an unusual thing, these days, to see a man or woman plodding along, with heart pounding and face flushed, doing their best to" prolong their date with the undertaker. It doesn't matter if the weather is good or bad, either. A real, honest-to- goodness "Jogger" will get his or her distance (or time, as they go by now) in regardless of rain, sleet or hurricane. About ten years ago jog- ging wasn't fashionable. I can remember passing a jogger early in the morning and a companion saying, "look at that fool! What's he trying to prove?" I didn't say anything because I knew exactly what he was trying to prove. I had been doing it all my life. My early jogging wasn't exactly planned. A lot of my running was getting back and forth to school. Most of my early running, however, was chasing cows, horses and hogs. I didn't exactly relish the idea of running a cow back and forth by the gate she was, supposed to go through, but I had to run her until she went in. 'And sometimes it took miles of running. Sometimes later, when I was in junior high school, an incident happened that made a lasting impression on me. It also impressed our p.e. teacher who also happened to be the football coach.

Although one guy did mention that he had actually read the story of Sue-Cat; well, he said he read part of it anyway then he got to telling me how it reminded him of the time his dog got sick while the family was on five minutes before the bell was to ring. The coach blew his whistle and we all gather- ed around him. "I'll tell you boys what I'm going to do," he said, with a slight smile on his face. "I'm going to give a quarter to the first boy that runs around the playground and get's back here first-- come back here Shad!

I think it was gall stones ... wait a minute, I lost track of. where I was (I can see you nodding yes to that); back to the business at hand I don't pretend to know much about writing, but I am trying, I've bent over this old typewriter for hours trying to hit upon an idea for a story. You ever notice that some of these birds in this business write when it seems they don't have an idea either. But I can sympathize with them, small rooms in a run- down motel on the outskirts of town trying to cover a story on "What makes Bill run"; your chief, Perry White, is screaming at you to get the facts, or at least some of the facts, or if all else fails, write like you had the facts; "Willie" Olson has lost his camera so you've got no pictures; then, just when you're at your lowest, your wife strolls by with p little smile on her face, but steel in her eyes, and says "You mention my name or allude to me in any way in that newspaper again and I'll cream your potatoes for good". She ain't kidding, either. Boy I tell you, this newspaper business is tough. So I feel it's only natural, the American way if you will, that now I've got a ques- tion for the folks running this tabloid, "Where's the money?" "the bread", "the payola". I don't think there's anybody back there. I mean do I look like Florence Nightingale with a pen. Now I see what you're thinking - this guy is a joke he can't write a lick and now he wants to be paid for it. But listen, we're not talking big money here, just enough for a little milk for the baby, say $100,000 for each article. That's just to start with of course, in a couple of weeks I'd want to renegotiate my contract. You see I've been reading the sports pages recently and I've got the real low-down on high finance. We don't know who's on first (Continued on Page 3) Another Bi NEPHEW, STAN, THE assistant up at the. Twin City News, had a birthday the other day and I almost cried at his expression of grief at having reached the ripe old age of 23. Stan will never see 22 again. Ain't that a shame? Can't you just see him doddering around with his skateboard sort of off balance at his advanced age? I could hardly contain my grief when I read of his pitiful plight at being 23. But how do you express your sympathies at a time like that? How do you have-empathy for one in such a condition? It's indeed a pity that Stan will no longer be an income tax exemption for Poppa Will. Now, if anybody has a right to receive sympathy, it's Poppa Will for the income tax reason. "OLD" 23-year-old Stan is now his own income tax exemption. Stan has grown a full-blown ,mustache, he drives his own car and -Ihas even gotten to the age where he keeps pet dogs. I say, if he is old enough to grow a mustache, drive his own car, keep a rthday, At My brace of pet dogs .., he's old enough o to be 23. r I'm with Stan in one thing it's s: hard to imagine that he is 23 years of d age.

Ramsey dile tears because of the position his being 23 puts me in. I'm his dad's older brother! +++ + ONE OF THE reasons I can find little sympathy for Stan's present advanced years is that I had a birthday myself last week. As a matter of fact, my birthday fell on Tuesday of last week, and I was a year Stan! If Stan has such palpatations reaching age 23, we'll have to call out the paramedics when he gets to the age 40 plateau. ++ + ++ I REMEMBER THE day I hit 40. It was a dreary day a day which calls for staying inside by the fire, with the windows and doors shut and age on my birthdays from the 70 which has been allowed man, and there's not all that many left. One good thing about it, though, when I quit having birthdays, I'll have every day off. There'll be no coming to work, no getting up in the morning; no shaving; no having to become mobile before the day is fully bright. There are some good advantages to not having birthdays. THERE ARE ADVANTAGES to having birthdays, too. I get my handkerchief and shirt stocks re- plenished. I get a couple of surprise gifts I didn't really expect. There is usually a card or two in the mail to remember the momentous occasion. Birthdays aren't all bad after 40, but if you can still see at that advanced age, you have to look pretty close to see what the advantages are. One's outlook on life has to be more sunny than realistic. If you can forget the twinge of that arthritic pain; that quick gesture before the bathroom mirror in the morning, which passes for combing what is left of your hair; if your own teeth are reasonably sound, then you're in pretty good shape, even if you are over 40. When you reach 50 ... well, that's a whole other story entirely. Age 50 catches most busy men unaware. Age 50 creeps in like the bubonic plague and is just about as welcome. Age 50 was the age a friend told me the other day made him feel like he was 25 again. All I could think of was that he had a miserable age 25, or he was lying to me. I've been 50 once, myself, and I suspect the friend was lying. As a matter of fact, I'm not a betting man, but that's one bet I would break my anti-gambling resolve to take. I don't believe I could take reaching age 50 again. Luckily, I'll more than likely never have to, so I'm safe there. This year, my birthday fell on the first day of Spring. Isn't that something? Here is the beginning of a new season of growth and develop- ment and I have reached the age where I think my film has been exposed, or something. There's no developing when you get past age 50. There's only a hope that you haven't double exposed something. There is one good thing about having birthdays when you get 50 and beyond- it'll be at least another year: before I have another one.

Say, now that's my sentiments exactly, 'if they offer, take it, if it's got defer- red payments, sign it; shucks, don't limit yourself to one contract, try to get one from everybody. And we've had the gall to speak of other nations as being uncivilized. When I was about eight years old, I got my first pay- ing job picking up walnuts in Mrs. Boaz's backyard. I worked all day, I picked 'emr all up, she gave me a dime. She didn't tell me how to get the stain off my hands but I was satisfied, until now. I should have signed a con- tract with her for the first two baskets of walnuts with an option for a third. Of course, our contract would naturally have had a stain clause in it and my agent would have come in'for a percentage. But where I could have really got her was on them deferred payments. I don't think Mrs. Boaz knows any more about that than I do and I'd a hook- ed her real good. Just think I could be sitting back today receiving my checks each Wilder - our program if it had passed" the Superintendent said. The dramatic effect on the system would be so devastating because the Proposition I affects every phase of income for the school system, with the exception of funds from the Federal. Government. Wilder said this amounts to some $400,000 to $500,000 a year but is partially services rather than money. "Even the Federal money is generated on the basis of our local. funding as matching funds", Wilder said, so, in effect, Federal money income would be reduced by (Continued from Page 1) the Proposition I as well. Even interest earned on deposited - money is affected by the amendment.. Any money earned as interest would require a reduction elsewhere in tax funds to comply with the amendment. "The effect of the amendment is on total income, Wilder said. He said the amendment would have definitely meant that all non-essential programs would have to go. There would be no music programs, no physical education, possibly no. li- brary and drastic cut-backs on other programs such as transportation." "We would definitely be in trouble Clerk Tells of An Early Port St. Joe City Clerk, Alden Farris, synopsis of. what has gone on before in'the life. of Port St. Joe to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday at their regular meeting. Farris said the City has earned the reputation of "coming back", in its 150 year history since the first town was founded here on the shores of St. Joseph Bay in 1838 and destroyed twice. The latest rejuvenation started in 1913. when the charter for the present-day city was granted to Port St. Joe. Under its new name and new start, C. F. Green was the first paid employee. He month off them walnuts I picked up back in 1955. Well, I've got to hang up for nhow, my agent just came by- (he's so slick he carries two briefcases) and we are goingin to see Perry White. I also want to ask him if there's not something we can do about those walnuts... Respectfully, Kesley P.S. The men with the wrecker and crane that came to fix my fence said it looked as if it had been hit by a run-a-way. Mack truck loaded with. about 45,000 pounds of cheese. was named Chief of Police at a salary of. $50.00 a month. His pay was later changed to $1.00 per conviction of 'all arrests he made. If the person arrested was found innocent in court, Green didn't get his dollar. The second paid employee was City Clerk, S. C. Duggar, who earned the princely sal- ary of $12.50 a month for a part time position. Farris pointed out that during the early days, the City Commission had the problems of hogs, dogs, sanitation and keeping the City's police sober as their main points of con- cern.. Farris noted that today, the Commission may not have the problem of keeping the police sober, but the remain- ing problems are stillnvery real in 1984. The City started attempt- ing to become an industrial center in 1917, when they passed a resolution and sent it to Henry Ford, telling him of the features for building a shipyard here. At that time, there was no electric power supply in Port St. Joe, with the exception of night trans- mission .from the AN Rail- road Company for lights. The resolution told how "simple" it would be to run a power line from Columbus, Georgia to furnish a power Bid at Port St. Joe High School", Wilder said. "Air conditioning would be one 'of the first things to go, but we must provide air handling at the high school, or people can't stay in the 'building. It is constructed to be dependent on the mechanical circula- tion of air", he said. Wilder pointed out that 80 percent of the present school budget goes for salaries and benefits. "Cutting out 20 percent of ouir income would mean a severe revolution in the manner in which educational 'facilities are pro- vided for our children." continued from Page 1) ment for a price of $14,477.47. St. Joe Motor's bid was $200 more than a bid by a Dothan, Alabama firm, but was ac- cepted because of the avail- ability of service locally. -Agreed to support the Florida delegation in keeping VFW Meets April 10 The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 10069, will have their regular monthly meet- ing, April 10, at their new building at 115 Fifth Avenue, Highland View.' The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m., with a dinner., supply for the city and the proposed shipyard. Evidently, Henry Ford did- n't believe the resolution. Telephones were first intro- duced to Port St. Joe in 1924 when a franchise was granted to A. T. Perkins, Bryan Schneider and B. W. Eells. Sewer and water services were started ;n the City in 1927 and the systems put into service in 1931. Florida Power Corporation was granted a franchise in 1930 and brought the City its first full-time supply of electric power.

Gates Explains Dam Situation Jerry Gates, secretary- treasurer of the Dead Lakes Water Management Board, spoke to the Rotary Club last Thursday, telling the club the history of the Dead Lakes dam and why there is such a controversy over its coritinu- ed existence. Gates explained that the dam was started in 1956, when the Jim Woodruff Dam at Chattahoochee was first closed to fill the Lake Semi- nole Reservior. "Closing the dam virtually dried up the Dead Lakes and the lower Chipola River.because they depend on the natural dam of the Apalachicola River to both supply water to this water shed area and to buffer the flow of water out of the Chipola watershed, including Dead Lakes" Gates said. This caused people who lived on the Dead Lakes to become concerned over the future of the lakes and started the movement in earnest to secure a dam for the south end of the lakes. "Eight months after the dam was put in, the water level was higher below the dam than it was above it". Gates remarked. Gates described the Dead Lakes. structure as "not really a dam, it's just a spillway". Gates said that at the time, building the dam was thought to be a good idea. "Nobody knew it would cause such problems as it has". The culprit, according to the speaker, is a build-up of sediment, fertilizer, pesti- cides, etc., which have been deposited in the lake over a period of years "for 15 miles back up the Chipola River", Gates said. Another bad effect of the Dead Lakes dam, according , to Gates, has been the reduction of the speed of current flow. The speaker said the former rate of flow served to keep the Lakes flushed put and prevented any sediment and chemical build-up. Gates described the Lakes as "important to the entire area". He said the watershed area which fed the Lakes and the Chipola River had all been affected by the dam. Gates said the entire area south of Chattahoochee, where the Apalachicola Ri- ver is formed, is dependent on the whole. The speaker said there have already been several surveys of the Lakes and their problems. He said the studies were performed by the Fish and Game Commis- sion at the request of the former Dead Lakes Board. "The studies show that the most feasible and cheapest way to correct all the wrongs that have been done to the lakes is to remove the dam". Ends Basic Training Army National Guard Pvt. Phil A. Dunaway, Jr., son of Phil and Shirley Dunaway of Apalachicola, has completed basic training at Fort Leon- ard Wood, Mo. During the training, stu- dents received instruction in drill and ceremonies, wea- pons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, first aid, and Army history and traditions.

When an organ protrudes through an opening in the surrounding walls it is called a hernia. Most hernias are in the abdominal, groin area. This hernia | weakness can be there at birth but it may be much later in life that it is discovered. At one time having a hernia repaired surgically was a long drawn out process. Often the patient was out of commission for many, many weeks. Some preferred to wear a confining belt rather than have the operation. But today recovery, is much more rapid and it is more advisable and common to have it taken care of. If you suspect a hernia, see your physician.

What's the matter? The problem could very likely be improper pH. pH is a scientific scale for measur-. ing different levels of acidity. the generator during an emergency. Comm. Branch stated Civil Defense Director Lamar had apparently not ,been informed of this action since he told the radio station manager, Norman McChris- tian, to pick the generator up from the Mosquito Control Department and Acting Mos- quito Control Director Graves did not release the generator to the radio station at Comm. Branch's instruc- tion. After discussion, the Board agreed to write WIDE AM- WGCV FM radio station manager McChristian and Civil Defense Director La- mar informing of the Board's previous action concerning this matter. Comm. Branch moved the Board advertise to receive bids to purchase a two-ton flatbed truck for the Road Department. Comm. Gort- man discussed getting state motor pool prices instead of receiving bids.

The Board discussed insurance agencies, etc., placing these signs. Comm. Gortman reported several people had requested all county offices within the county be put on a county- wide telephone system with a telephone number that is not long distance to anyone cal- ling within the county. Comm. Gortman then moved the Board request Attorney Rish to negotiate for a county-wide 'telephone sys- tem for all county offices with St. Joseph Telephone & Telegraph Company. Comm. Birmingham seconded the motion and it passed unani- mously. The Board discussed the progress on the Beaches Water System Project (num- ber of deposits, rates, FHA approval). Gulf County Parks Plan- ning Committee Chairman Wayne Childers reported to the Board on the following items: Mr. Childers applied to the Bureau of Land Management for the Beacon Hill Property Site; Comm. Money and Mr. Childers talked with U. S. Senator Paula Hawkins re- questing the two lighthouse keeper's quarters, now lo- cated on'Cape San Blas, be moved to the Courthouse Historical District and she agreed to help; Lieutenant Governor Mixon is in support of moving Florida's First Constitution from Fernan- dina Beach back to Port St. Joe, Florida. Some people have been asking about a . beach clean-up project which the Gulf County Park Com- mittee will meet to discuss. Gulf County Planning Com- mission Member Childers reported he had received a letter from the Bureau of Land Management stating since Gulf County's Compre- hensive Plan was adopted on May 11, 1981, the updated plan should be complete and evaluated by May 11, 1986. There being no further business, the meeting did then adjourn. CARTER Many factors account for healthy plant growth, and one of the most important is the pH, or acid level, of the soil. The soil pH has a lot to do with a plant's ability to utilize nutrient affect on plant growth. My informa- tion for this article was provided by Extension Urban Horticulture Specialist, Dr. Robert Black of the Univer- sity of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Scien- ces. The numerical pH scale, used to express acid levels, goes from zero-point-zero (0.0), to the fourteen-point- zero (14.0), with the lower numbers describing greater acidity. The midpoint of the scale, or a pH of seven-point- zero (7.0) is the value for pure water, which is neutral, since it is neither acid nor alkaline. pH is a chemical short- hand, describing the concen- tration of hydrogen in the soil. Hydrogen is the element which determines the level of acidity. Each whole number drop on the pH scale indi- cates 10 times more acidity. For example, a soil with a pH of five-point-zero (5.0) indi- cates alkaline, or sweet soils, and the higher the number, the more alkaline the soil. Two good examples of acid and alkaline liquids are orange juice and sea water. Orange juice ,is very acid, having a pH of three-point- seven (3.7), while sea water is slightly alkaline, with a pH of seven-point-nine. SpH influences several soil Manley Is Promoted Mark E.

NOTE OF THANKS Thanks to everyone for their prayers, visits, food and other acts of kindness during Ernest's stay at Gulf Coast Hospital. He is at home and doing well. Annette & Ernest Lowery and Family properties which directly af- fect growth. Soil pH affects leaching and levels of soil bacteria, as well as the availability of nutrients and toxic elements. Most plants have a range of tolerance to the pH level of the soil. But, plant nutrients are most available in the pH range of five-point-five to six-point-five. Most popular Florida landscape ornamen- tals grow well in soils rang- ing from neutral to slightly acid. However, certain plants need either acid or alkaline soils having pH values out of this usual "best" range. For example,' to grow best Azaleas, Bou- ganvilleas, Crotons, Dog- woods, Gardenias, Hibiscus, Hollies, and Magnolias, need very acid soils, soils having a pH below five-point-five. In areas where soils are alka- C line, these plants grow poor- ly, and many have yellow leaves. Unfortunately, alka- line soil is quite common around Florida homes. As I said, some plants do quite well in alkaline soils, includ- ing palms, yuccas, and olean- ders. About the only way you'll ever know whether your soil is within the range that allows for the best growth of the plants in your landscape or garden is to have a soil test run to determine the exact pH level. If the pH is not at the optimum level, it can be raised or lowered by using certain chemicals which are available to all homeowners. I must emphasize that pH is by no means an indication of soil fertility. It simply measures the acid or alkaline condition of your soil.
