USPS 518-880 FORTY.-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 48 THE STAR Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 * THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1984 0 5T 2 FLORIDA 25� Per Copy Permit Stalled for Landfill Bid Let for Solid E. F. Gunn, standing left, explains details on the plans for a solid waste compactor station for south Gulf County to County Commission chairman, Everette Owens, standing and Commissioners Eldridge Money and Billy Branch, seated. Bids for construction of the compactor will be received on August 28. -Star photo Wast The County Commission brought at least eight years of planning to a head Tuesday night, when they voted, unanimously, to call for bids for the construction of a solid waste compac- tor here in the south end of Gulf County. The: compactor will take the place of a land-fill operation here in south Gulf County, at the request of the Department' of Environmental Regulation. The Department has told the county, there is no place in south Gulf County which will meet state regulations for a land-fill without P extensive and expensive modifica- tions and ground water pumping and monitoring as a constant program. E. F. Gunn gave the Commission plans and specifications for the compactor station Tuesday night, at the meeting of the Board and reported all documents were present to go out for bids. The.Commission immediate- . ly voted to issue the call for bids to be returned and opened on August 28 at the night meeting of the Commission. The new compactor station will be located off Industrial Road, just north of where the Florida Power Corpora- tion transmission line crosses the highway on a five acre tract. The compactor will be of a design and nature to handle all solid waste in the south end of the county and compact it for shipment to the Buckhorn landfill site north of Wewahitchka. Gunn said from two to three trips to the Buckhorn site would be needed each week to transport the solid waste. Gunn was also hired by the Commission at a rate of $400.00 per week to supervise construction of the compactor and supervise the installa- tion of the Beaches Water System, which should begin construction with- in a few days. PERMIT INCOMPLETE In a related story, Dewayne Manuel, director of the county's solid waste department, said an application for an operation permit for the Buckhorn landfill had been returned marked "incomplete" by the Depart- ment of Environmental regulation. "They feel the landfill should be up-graded a step now that solid waste from the south end of the county will be placed there, also", Manuel said. "For this reason, they are- delaying issuing the permit until this matter can be resolved finally", he contin- ued. Manuel went on to say DER estimates the landfill site will accept an estimated 20 tons of waste per day, which qualified it for a first class landfill site designation. The site is now designated as class two because of the volume of waste deposited there. Chairman Owens remarked, "We don't want that. Upgrading to a class one will cost us an additional $20,000 just for engineering". Manuel said he thought DER was not familiar with Gulf's long range plan, which is to send the county's. waste to the Bay County incinerator when it gets into operation, and close down all local landfills. "Bay county and their incinerator are going to need our solid waste to help make their operation profitable", Manuel said. Owens agreed with.

William TWO UNOPPOSED Of all the offices to be decided in this year's election season, only two incumbent officers will be replaced for another term, with no opposition. Eda Ruth Taylor, ending her first term as Tax Collector, will serve another four year term with no opposition at election time. Veteran Harbor Master, Bill Hammock, will also get another term in office with no opposition. Hammock has served in this position ever since the late 1940's. The most crowded race for September will be the seat of County Commissioner in District Five. Incumbent Eldridge Money, who is seeking re-election, faces a field of four opponents. Since last week, Albert C. Ray has registered .to be a candidate in the race. He joins Leo Kennedy, John W. Core, and Leon F. Pollock, Jr., who had already qualified. Other races have lined up candidates as follows: Clerk of the Circuit Court: Alden "Red" Farris, Wyvonne Griffin Hattaway and Joe St. Clair, challenging incumbent Jerry Gates. Gates qualified Friday, as a Republican, saying personal problems with the head of the county Democratic Executive Committee, caused him to run under the Republican banner. Gates' name will not be on the September ballots, but will appear on the November general election ballot. Sheriff: J. E. (Eddie) Carnley and Highway Patrolman Al Harrison will be challengers for incumbent Sheriff Ken Murphy's bid for re-election to his third term in office. Property Appraiser: Kesley Colbert has qualified to try to unseat incumbent Joyce Williams, who is attempting to gain a second term in the office. Superintendent of Schools: D. L. "Bobo" Owens and Voter Registration Drive Continues Supervisor of Elections, Cora Sue Robinson, said this week her office would be conducting a last minute push to get people register- ed to vote in the primaries and general election season, which will begin with the first primary election on September 4. Mrs. Robinson said the registration would be closed to taking new voters for the first primaries after August 4. The Supervisor said, "Florida law requires the registration books be closed to new registrations 30 days before any election." She emphasized the books would remain open for voters to register for the General Election until October 6. In order to make it convenient for these poten- tial voters to cast their ballots in the elections, Mrs. Robinson has set up a program of taking the regis- tration books to the voters during the next 10 days. Today, the registration books will be at St. Joe Paper Company for the morning and afternoon shift changes. The books will be available at the main gate of St. Joe Paper from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m., and from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. Friday, the books will be back at the St. Joe Paper Company from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., and at St. Joe Con- tainer Division from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, the books will be made avail- able at the Senior Citizen Center at the Washington High School recreation cen- ter, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. J. (Bill) Davis, Jr., and Armond "A.B." Traylor will both be facing incumbent Jimmy 0. Gortman, trying for his third four-year term. Operating unions of Sylvachem Corporation present- ed Tim Strange a check for $500 last Friday to go toward his $25,000 hospital costs for a major operation early next month.

Strange leaves Friday for New York City where he will undergo the surgery. -Star photo Tim Strange saw his hospital fund surge ahead by $500.00 last Friday afternoon, when the operating unions of Sylvachem Corporation presented Strange with a check for $500.00 to be applied toward the estimated $25,000 bill Strange faces early next month. David Ambrose, president of the union, presented the check to Strange, remarking, "The only reason we did this publicly was to encourage other unions and organizations to contribute also." According to Beverly Pitts, Strange's aunt and chief instigator of several activities designed to raise the hospital fund, the total stood at $21,321.44 yesterday morning. "Tim leaves for the hospital Friday and I hope the fund goes over the top before then", Mrs. Pitts remarked. "We feel confident and thankful over the whole program. The people of Gulf County have been just wonderful", she said. Strange was paralyzed from the neck down by a high school football accident six years ago and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since. He will leave Friday of this week for New York City where doctors say they can implant an electrical stimulator in his spine which will restore signals to his nerve system, hopefully giving him use of his arms and legs once more. Doctors seem to be confident use can be restored to his arms and there is a good possibility at least partial use can be restored to his legs as well. Strange says he is ready for the operation and is thankful to the people of Gulf ('nunty who have built up the fund over the past month to pay for the surgery. "I'm eager to go" he said Friday as he received the check from the Sylvachem union. A good attitude toward the pending surgery is nothing new for Strange. He has maintained a good positive attitude throughout his six-year ordeal. Station 9.7 Inches of Rain Welcomes Dog Days Dog days were ushered into the Panhandle this week by a week-long bout with heavy daily rainfall which made Gulf County a soggy piece of real estate to be entering the traditional rainy season. According to Emily Simmons, our unofficial official weather person, the Port St. Joe area experienced some 9.7 inches of rainfall from 6:00 a.m., last Wednesday morning through 6:00 p.m., Saturday afternoon. Probably the hardest single rainfall was experienced Saturday morning, when the deluge completely filled all the drain ditches in town and flooded considerable property. Gulf County has had its share of rainfall for the past week, but the month is sort of skimpy as July rainfall usually goes in these parts. The Port St. Joe area has had only 13% inches of rainfall for the entire month. That isn't exactly a dry month and this much rain doesn't qualify Gulf County for drought disaster relief funds, but it is far less than the record 20% inches of rainfall experienced during July, 1975. The rains came as the answer to a growing grumble of "We sure could use a shower or two" but didn't stay long enough to hear the inevitable, "do you think it will ever stop raining?"

Taking Care of_ _____ Our Own That Time The people of Gulf County have risen up and are taking care of one of their own, again. In the case of Tim Strange, and the expensive operation which has a good chance of returning the use of his arms and legs to him, the reaction of the entire county certainly must be ::gratifying to him. In many instances, (especially here in the south end of the county) many people who contributed or were instrumental in helping raise the', necessary money didn't even know Tim. Some probably had never heard of him before. But, they all responded when they learned he needed help. In last week's paper we reported , his operation fund was some $8,000 . short of the goal. This information was obtained on Wednesday; the day the paper was printed. By Friday of last week, we learned the fund had swollen to the ..point where itwas only:$5;0001 hort of I . Sthe goal. Without having to think twice About whether or not we are giving out false information, we'll announce that Tim is leaving for New York and the hospital the end of this week and the money is available to take care of his expenses. We have that much faith in the people of Gulf County. Here is a young man who has been denied the use of his arms and legs in the prime of life, from a football b accident. We'll help him to walk again, if it is possible; and we'll all get together to try a possibility that a certain treatment can do the trick. We know Tim Strange thanks you for your generosity and we here at The Star thank you. Who knows; it may be you or us who needs the generosity of our people next. It's nice ... to know it is available. A Camping Trip Not too long ago my family before dark. It's hard to set and I took a long weekend up a camper after dark. (Labor Day) and went on a 2) DON'T plan on getting camping trip. We did not go much sleep. If you don't have into the wilderness camping any kids there will be plenty but went to a modern, well equipped camp site located a reasonable distance from our home. I / We are not a family that camps often. As a matter of fact, we had only camped one time before and it was a long time ago. My wife and I have grown accustomed to the modern conveniences of life. The kids could care less as long as there is action, plenty of food and a place to lay their precious little heads when they get sleepy. Because of our inexperi-- ence we encountered many difficulties that were totally uncalled for. Immediately upon arriving home after this trip I wrote down some of the "do's" and "Don'ts" for campers. If you have never been camping and are consi- dering a trip, you might want to keep this list for reference. I'll guarantee that you will be better off if you abide by these rules. 1) DO set a departure time two (2) hours before your latest possible departure deadline. This may enable you to make it to the park there to aggravate you. 3) DO take a flashlight so you can see your way around when the plug comes out during the night. You can trip over anything trying to find your way to the bathroom in the dark. 4) DON'T tell the leader of the motorcycle gang that he looks like a garbage can, no matter how many beers you've had. That may lead to a body-contact that you may not care too much about. 5) DO take some strong liquor or. tranquilizers with you. After the first two hours you will need something to fortify your nerves unless you are accustomed to living in a circus. 6) DON'T plan on eating in Back Home - We Didn't Have No Tor Well, boys, the Olympics are finally here, or as they say on T.V. - the XXIII Olympiad. I wish they'd use American numbers. I be- lieve this thing lasts about 16 days and I'm not going to try to watch all 1600 hours of it on ABC TV. Those folks at ABC are proud of their sports coverage and they will cover anything that pre- tends to be a sport. I bet you, could hold a hog calling con- test in Walnut Ridge, Ark- ansas and call up those folks at ABC and tell them that WTBS was thinking of cover- ing your "games" and ABC would rush to Walnut Ridge; offer the promoters 28 mil- lion bucks for the "rights" to the entire contest, bring in 23 cameras and Jim McKay or Keith Jackson, and presto - you've got the 15th Annual Lester Treadway - Crimpus County Official Hog Calling Contest. You know those Budweiser folks will sponsor it. They will sponsor any- thing. Soooeeeeeeee. Lot of talk this year about the Russians and their "cousins" not attending the summer games. I've already told you that I could care less about the Russians. We would have beat them anyway. As a matter of fact that's the real reason that they're not going to show - they have spied on our American athletes and teams and they realize that they don't stand a chance of winning anything, so to save face in the eyes of the world they have decided to stay home. I wish when it came to world politics they would. also'deoidetieb Staydltame. Do you remember Wilma Rudolph in the 1960 games in Stockholm, and Jesse Owens in '36 and the legendary Babe Didrikson in the '32 games in Los Angeles? We've held our own in the Olympic games over the years and I'm sure all America, whether they're sports fans or not, are rooting for the U.S.A. team to represent us well over the next couple of weeks. I'm sure some real American stars will emerge from the games-and if they don't ABC will produce some. I've been involved in many Olympic events over the years. Only thing was - we didn't know it was an Olym- pic event at the time. Shoot, me and Ricky Hale and Bob- by Brewer used to go down to the pond over in Mr. Archie * . * a restaurant. Campers do not eat in restaurants and don't 'cotton' to folks who do. 7) DON'T take your wife with you when you go to the pool. There are some healthy young things that love to camp and lay by the pool. You cannot pay proper atten- tion if wifey is along. 8) DON'T let the kids sleep on the top bunk. That first step is rough when taken in the middle of the night on the way to the bathroom. 9)DO start packing the night before you are suppose to leave. You will have twice as much to take back. I really don't know where it comes from. 10) DON'T GO CAMPING! It's not worth it. You will be better off going to a nice convenient motel where you and the kids can enjoy yourselves. And, it's probab- ly a lot cheaper in the long run. ch Moore's field and pull them willow reeds and then back up and take a running start and throw 'em just as far as we could out into Mr. Archie's pond. Today they call it throwing the javelin. We' used to take those saw *horses oataof the barn and we'd "station" them around the house. Then we all lined up on the front walk and count 1-2-3-GO (we didn't know you was supposed to fire a pistol) and around the house we'd go just as fast as we could, jumping over those sawhorses racing back to the front sidewalk. We didn't call it the high hurdles - we were jumping the saw horses. We didn't throw the shot put - we flung rocks. We didn't high jump - we just jumped over the hedge, or the fence or anything else that got in the way. We didn't call it a marathon, but we went as hard as we could go from sun up till sun down. Well, you get the idea... Let's enjoy the Olympics, pull for America, and try not to criticize ABC as they br- ing it to us "upclose and per- (Continued on Page 3) There's Something Wrong with Those Who Don't Like Southern Cooking THERE ARE PEOPLE who can eat what they want and as much as they want and they don't gain an ounce. Then there are people who will eat certain things and won't eat certain thing... People who come from various parts of the country won't eat things local people will. America is a melting pot of the world, so I guess that explains the difference in taste in various parts of the nation. In certain parts of the nation it is the thing to do to have hot apple pie for breakfast. I could get along very well in that part of the country, except in the winter time, when, I understand, it gets very cold. There are other parts of the country where one doesn't eat a nourishing and filling breakfast un- less he has steak, eggs and potatoes. Again, I could get along nicely in these environs, except I don't know whether or not I could take the dry climate. Again, I understand it gets cold during the winter in these parts. +I KNOW WHAT it means to move+ + ++ I KNOW WHAT it means to move to another part of the country and re-arrange one's eating habits to con- form with the dietary habits of a new home. I was only 13 years of age when I eaten craw-dads (crawfish, to most of the people from here to Louisiana) and they were always fried. We ate the other end of the turnip and fed the greens to the chickens and the rabbits, ETAOIN SHRDLU By:W( moved to Florida, but I remember trying to get accustomed to eating grits, boiled shrimp, fresh fish and turnip greens. Where I came from, I never heard of grits, except in it, singular form-grit-which is something to keep out of sensitive machinery or tender parts. I had never even seen a shrimp, much less eaten one. I had at true southern victuals? I can't understand it. There is one of those guys in our Rotary Club, who is a transplanted Yankee and is very vociferous toward esley R. Ramsey then gave those two delicacies fits when they became round and fat. WHAT I CAN'T understand is how a person can move into the breadbas- ket of the nation, such as this locale is, and not try to adapt to the diet. How can a transplant allow all these delectable foodsfjust lie there un- touched? How can he turn up his nose turnip greens. Of course, if you know Henry Cassani, you know how undernourish- ed he looks. I firmly believe it is his Yankee diet he insists on eating when there is all this southern largess at hand, begging for devouring. Henry has been forgiven for ruining one of our southern girls (Pensacola) by talking her into marrying a Yankee and an Italian Yankee at that. We no longer feel hard at him for convincing her that lasagna is what God sent the Hebrews on their tour of the Sinai desert and called it "manna" When Henry goes to the extent of denigrating turnip greens when they appear on the menu at the Rotary -Club meeting, he is bordering on going too far in maintaining his roots, as unfortunate as they may be. When in the south, eat like a southerner. Lasagna and spaghetti aren't the official food of the Summer Olympics, and they aren't for a very good reason: Olympians must stay in good shape, and you can't do it with that northern Italian diet. You notice, a southerner only eats that stuff when they are intent: on showing their taster they are already getting the best available. JUST AS RECENTLY as last Thursday, Rotarians had turnip greens on the menu. They had been snapped into small pieces (not cut with a sharp knife) and had a generous piece of ham hock in the bowl giving its distinctive flavor to the greens. There was cornbread, with a crusty bottom and a tender inside, to scoop the greens on the fork with and sop up the pot-likker. There was also a generous supply of pepper sauce with which to flavor the greens. Everything was there with which to delight the most sensitive palate. Henry took himself a spot of greens. I mean a "spot", because that's all they made on his plate. On this spot of greens he doused a liberal dose of pepper sauce and down the hatch it went. With a grimace and a shudder, Henry remarked, "I've found out one thing; you have to eat these things like oysters - don't chew, just swallow!" The old boy is trying, you have to give him credit for that. We just might break him in on chittlins before the year is over, then the lasagna and spaghetti will be only an "occasional" dish with him, like it is the rest of us loyal southern Americans.

I don't like ice hockey - I never watch it; they say things about the Eye Openers By: Dr. Wesley Grace EYE EXAMINATION.., HOW OFTEN? Q. Hlow often should a child's eyes be examined? A. Professionals recom- mend at least a yearly ex- amination from pre- school through college. Some need to be examin- ed even more frequently. In the years from pre- school to adolescence, a child's body is changing rapidly, and so is the development of visual skills. The visual tasks encountered, especially at school, are also chang- ing. Visual demands in- crease as the child goes from nursery school, to grade school, to high school and college. It is especially important that the eyes are in good health and up to the visual tasks which must, be coped with. There's only. one way to be sure, and that's with a complete eye examination every year. Q. How often, generally, will the prescription for read- ing glasses need chang- ing? A. Since the ability to, focus at near continues to de- cline noticeably from, about the age of forty un- til we reach the seventies, generally there is.a need for a prescription change: every two years. ..At. times, due to the natureof your job or for health rea- sons, the optometrist may recommend that you be reexamined more fre- quently.

I thought that those guys just skated around waiting for the fight to break out. But one of the proudest moments of my life was the last few minutes of the Olympic hockey finals at Lake Placid, New York four years ago as the Americans won the gold by defeating the Russians. I stood (too excited to sit) in front of my T.V. and kept yelling to nobody in par- ticular, "They're going to do it," "They're going to do it." And I don't mind telling you when the game ended and America won it, I cried like a baby. I was crying over an ice hockey game because America had done good.

First of all, this new coat pocket size map requires NO UNFOLDING OR REFOLD- ING. That in itself could have won the battle. But the map also comes in a sturdy cover and - contains area maps for many key Florida cities. It. also has a city in- dex, a mileage chart, and a perimeter mileage calcula- tor that allows you to ap- proximate distances instant- ly. The map lets you "flip" to any part of the state in the blink of an eye. The Florida "flip" map is available for $2.25 plus 25c postage from "flip" Maps, 5432 River Ridge, Lansing, MI 48917.

Brown Betty Pie 4-5 Granny 1/4 Smith Apples, pared 1 and sliced thin (about 6 cups) 1 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed Topping teaspoon cinnamon tablespoon fresh lemon juice unbaked pie shell, 9-inch 1/2 cup unsifted flour 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup soft butter or 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg margarine In a bowl, combine sliced apples with 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Place in pastry shell. Combine top- ping ingredients, blending with a fork or fingers until crumbly. Scatter over top of apple mixture. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake until apples are tender, about 25-30 minutes longer. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped or sour cream, or as an added treat, serve with French apple yogurt.

It is the cause of most coastal damage and loss of life. Relying on predictions can be useful in aiding residents to flee the storm, but for those who remain and the property that is left behind, it is hard to tell just what damage will result from the storm surge. Be- cause of this, evacuation is even more important. According to a Sea Grant Report by D. Lee Harris, it is not a simple matter to accurately predict storm surge. Many factors have to be considered such as mete- orological data, predicting the movement of the storm, changes in its strength, and predicting the point and time of landfall. Harris says that collection of meteorological data while the storm is still at sea is done through the use of satellites, reconnaissance aircraft and ship reports. Because of the size of a hurricane, the storm motion and changing intensity, it is difficult for meteorologists to create a composite descrip- tion. For these reasons, and because of time constraints, the data collected are com- bined with pressure and wind field information generated by numerical models whicli results in an approximation of the large scale features of the storm, but not the small pattern is variable but pre- dictable. Harris says that at times in some locations and for several days each month, the tide range is so small it is almost negligible. But, at other locations, the tide level can change as much as six feet within six hours. "Here a storm surge, which may be Meteorologists must de- pend also on forecasting the motion of the storm by studying movements of past storms incorporated into storm track prediction models.

Come in and see our fine selection THE STAR 306 Williams Ave. Port St. Joe, Fla. Coun Wayne Childers, who rep- resents the county on the Apalachee Planning Council and has been actively pursu- ing ownership of surplus federal property in the coun- ty, announced his initial success at the meeting Tues- day. Childers announced that the old Corps of Engineers depot on the Intracoastal Canal at White City has been deeded to the county by the General Services Adminis- tration of the U.S. Govern- ment. "The only stipulation in the deed is that the property must be used for recreational purposes", Childers said. The county has already received a preliminary draw- ing for developing the 6.58 acre site into a park, prepar- ed by state planners and architects. Childers said the only thing which needs to be done for official transfer of the pro- perty into county ownership is for the Commission to sign the deed. "They have been asked to hold up on the signing until Friday, to see what portion, if any, of the property the State DOT needs for the proposed high- rise bridge across the canal", Childers said. By the next meeting date, the entire transaction should be complete and the county will take ownership.

The letter pointed out the state certificates of EMTs serving the squad will expire on that date and new state regulations have made it all but impossible for the volun- teers to re-new their certifi- cation. In addition, stringent requirements have decimat- ed the local squad to the point where they don't have enough qualified people to provide the growing demand for service; especially dur- ing the daytime, when all the volunteers are working at their regular jobs. Miss Ramsey again asked the question of the Commis- sion, "What are your plans?" She again emphasized, "We are running out of time. We won't have the manpower available to provide the service after this date (Au- gust 10)". Chairman Owens expres- sed the concern of the Commission over the matter and pledged to meet with the service director yesterday to discuss problems prior to meeting with the entire squad on Monday to discuss options available to the Com- mission to keep the service operating.

Culbertson said FICO is a branch of an Arizona farm- House Bill Is Signed A bill signed by President Reagan July 2 enhances the # use of funds for the single- family housing program op- erated by the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture's Farm- ers Home Administration, Mitchell N. Drew, FmHA State Director, said recently. No additional funds are in- volved. The new law clears up the division of loan funds that must be allotted to "very" low-income applicants and to 'those in the next higher bracket, low-income. "The earlier congressional requirement that FmHA housing loans must be made so that 40 percent were constantly going to very- low-income people has been replaced so that now up to 40 percent of the funds avail- able will be used for very-low income families," Drew said. "This means that loan appli- cations from both low and very-low income rural appli- cants can be processed at the same time without regard to some arbitrary relationship between the two groups." The new law divides avai- able loan funds into two amounts, up to 40 percent for the very-low-income and the remainder for low-income borrowers. S "Tfi5t will'revive our pr.-- gram substantially," said Drew. "We will now be able to process applications for both very-low and low-in- come people." Very-low income is defined as not more than 50 percent of an area's median income. The low-income ceiling is 80 percent of the same income base.

Now these overseas nations are either producing their own, buying from third world nations or don't have Ruffles a AnnouncE Elegance the money to buy our crops. That makes growing the basic crops unprofitable as a world market supply."

Al Harbour is You Stay Clear of Some Marine Animals What can make an outing to the beach worse than being stung or bitten by something in the water. The discomfort makes us all shutter, but the enjoyment and fun of the beach should not be avoided because of this. With com- mon sense and a little knowledge about marine ani- mals, a beach outing can be an enjoyable memory for all. The most commonly en- countered stinging marine animals are the jellyfish. They come in a variety of sizes and all appear to "float" in the water column. The tentacles which hang beneath and behind jellyfish are armed with stinging cells called nematocysts. Upon contact, these cells discharge tiny hairlike projections into. the skin along with a protein toxin. This causes a burning sensation which may be severe. Welts and redness may form on the skin and the victim may feel faint and have chills or a fever. Do not rub the affected area as this will discharge any remaining nematocysts. Neutralize the cells by pouring alcohol or alcohol-based solutions over the affected area. Vinegar may be used in the absence of alcohol. Apply a small amount of meat tenderizer and treat for shock. The best treatment is prevention. Don't swim in waters infest- ed with jellyfish; don't pick up beached jellyfish as their stinging cells are still cap- able of discharging. Inspect waters carefully during and after strong onshore winds or currents as jellyfish may be moved into shallow waters. Puncture wounds may re- sult when sea urchins are brushed against or stepped on. Their needle-like spines puncture the skin, releasing a toxin. This causes redness and swelling of the skin. Treatment involves re- moving the broken spine from the skin and soaking the wound in warm water for 45 to 60 minutes. Sea urchins are generally found around Auto And Homeowners Insurance JEAN MALLORY 639-5322 Wewahitchka or 785-6156 Panama City Metiopolitan MeNopoiltan ealystandstr by ou.

Bill Sullivan of Big Bend Health Council, Inc., and Wayne Childers, Gulf Coun- ty'a representative to the Big Bend Health Council, were :'present before the Board. -Sullivan then gave a report on the local health plan and thanked the Board for ap- -. pointing Wayne Childers to . represent the Board at the Big Bend Health Council. B Glenn Stubbs, of Cape San Blas Partnership, Inc., Sub- divider of Cape Breezes Subdivision, informed the Board that he does not need to use part of Cape Breezes Subdivision Plat designated for use for the water system plant and wishes to divide this property into four lots for sale. Upon the Attorney's -advice that since there were only four lots, under County Subdivision Regulations, Mr. Stubbs could sell the proper- - ty by metes and bounds or subdivide, the Board agreed for Stubbs to divide this property in metes and -bounds description for sale. - Earl Burrows, of Over- street, informed the Board the county had graded up a stump near his driveway, three or four months ago, and he wanted this stump re- moved. Comm. Gortman stated he would have some- Sone from the Road Depart- ment at this site tomorrow to take care of this problem. STemporary Mosquito Con- -trol Director DeWayne Manuel introduced Ken Hawk of Barrett, Daffin & Carlan, Inc. who discussed "items needed concerning the -D.E.R. Application for the SBuckhorn Landfill permit and D.E.R. Application to close St. Joe Landfill. There followed a discussion by Attorney Rish, the Board, and Mr. Hawk. Manuel then * reported St. Joe Paper Com- . pany is requiring the county furnish a survey of the -county's property at White City, before exchanging their .- property (to be used as the landfill transfer station site) . for the county's property at White City. After Manuel -reported on an estimated Cost to hire a land surveyor to : survey the White City Pro- : perty, Comm. Gortman Moved the Board authorize Manuel to hire Buchanan & Harper, Land Surveyors, to survey County Property at White City at an estimated cost of $2,800.00, give or take $400.00. Comm. Birmingham seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Board then agreed for At- torney Rish, Temporary Mosquito Control Director " Manuel, and Ken Hawk, of Barrett, Daffin & Carlan, to meet concerning the two landfill permit applications as soon as Manuel obtains the plans and specifications for the transfer station from E. F. Gunn, and obtains a copy of the survey of the White City Property. Catherine Ramsey, Squad Chief, and other members of the Port St. Joe Ambulance Squad, met again with the Board to discuss the problem of lack of personnel to provide ambulance service in the south end of the county. Ms. Ramsey stated the county could lose the remain- ing volunteer E.M.T.'s on the St. Joe Squad, due to the strain put on these few people to provide 24-hour-per-day ambulance service, for the south end of the county, and she suggested the county go to a paid ambulance service, possibly county-wide. Comm. Birmingham stated mem- bers of the Wewahitchka Ambulance Squad had con- tacted him, following the last regular meeting, stating un- less there was a legal reason their squad wished to remain volunteer. Sheriff Murphy stated tQ help out for a while, he would ask members of his staff if they would volunteer to help the ambulance squad during the daytime hours. The Chairman then request- ed The Star Publishing Edi- tor, Wesley Ramsey, to run an ad, bringing to the pub- lic's attention the problem of lack of personnel for the St. Joe Ambulance Squad. The Board also requested Comm. Money meet with Represen- tatives of the Baptist Hos- pital (Gulf Pines Hospital) to discuss the possibility of the Baptist Hospital contracting St. Joe Ambulance Service. Lee Munroe stated he had attended the last Board meeting at which the Board agreed to write him concern- ing the job performance of Building Inspector DeWayne Manuel and to date he had not received this letter. The Clerk reported this letter had been written and was mailed today. The Clerk reported that the Audit firm of May, Zima & Company, had reported for the special called audit meet- ing, expressed regrets that no one from the County Commission came to the special called meeting, and said that they would be willing to meet with the Board at their convenience. The Clerk read a letter from tlhe'City of Wewahitch- ka requesting the Board advance $20,000 as the Board's committed partici- pation in the Church Street reconstruction project in-We- wahitchka. Upon motion by Comm. Birmingham, second by Comm.

Attorney Rish discussed a letter he received from Thomas J. Ballenger, Ballen- ger & Associates, Inc., Pro- fessional Land Surveyors, which requested written con- firmation before proceeding with the completion of sur- veying the road easement project in Section 17 & 20, Township 7 South, Range 8 West for the Board, the amount charged would not exceed $1,800 and anticipated completion would be within one month of authorization to proceed. Upon motion by Comm. Birmingham, second by Comm. Gortman, and unanimous vote, the Board agreed to write Ballenger & Associates to complete this project.

Ausley, Dis- trict Director II, Farmers Home Administration, sche- duling a Beaches Water System pre-construction con- ference for Friday, June 29, at 2:00P.M., EST, in the Gulf County Commission Room. The Chairman reported the Board had received'a copy of a letter from Florida Repre- sentative James Harold Thompson to Allen Potter, Department of Transporta- tion, requesting the Depart- ment of Transportation's plan in regard to Gulf County Resolution No. 84-12, which requests the Department of Transportation to spend all its funds and efforts in Gulf County, Florida on a high- rise bridge to be constructed in Highland View, Florida, and that the construction of a high-rise bridge at White City, Florida, only proceed after construction of the Highland View Bridge. Samuel M. Graves, Mos- quito Control Department, presented bid specifications for one pickup truck for the Mosquito Control Depart- ment. The Chairman pro- posed that due to the need for a Civil Defense vehicle, and the need for a pickup truck for Graves' use at the Mosquito Control Depart- ment, the Board advertise to receive bids to purchase one pickup truck for the Mosquito Control Department and transfer the car presently being used by Graves at the Mosquito Control Depart- ment, to the Civil Defense Department. Graves then reported Bureau of Ento- mology requirements. Upon motion by Comm. Branch, second by Comm.

In Between Seasons Summer Gardens BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director This is an in-between gar- dening season- too late for- summer flowers, and too early for cool-season varie- ties. But, most of all, it's just too hot to spend much time outside. Nevertheless, while most of us agree this is no time to' be doing a lot of outdoor work, there are a number of important sum- mer gardening jobs. For- tunately, they're relatively easy. For the most part, summer gardening projects involve pruning, pinching, and gen- erally preparing plants for future growth and blooming. My tips on such warm weather activities were pro- vided by Extension Urban Horticulturist, Dr. Robert Black, of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. You should prune roses about the first of August. Remove healthy top growth, Documents Needed to_ Alter Name People in the North Florida area should be aware of the need for documentation to substantiate a request for a change of name on a Social Security record, Ann R. Kinard, Social Security field representative for Gulf Coun- ty, said recently. A person who wants his or her name changed for Social Security purposes must pro- vide evidence to establish his or her identity. This evidence must show both the person's old and new name. Uncertified photocopies of documents are not sufficient. Social Security must receive either the original document or a copy certified by the agency that issued it. Any document submitted to a Social Security office will be returned. Additional information about the procedure for changing one's name on Social Security records .can be obtained from the Pana- ma City Social Security office, located at 30 W. Government Street. The tele- phone number is 769-4871. Training Partnership Pro- gram. Graves then recom- mended the following thre persons for employment. Johnnie Arnez Williams, Franklin Romaine Pool, -and John Wayne Wimberley. Up- on motion by Comm. Branch, second by Comm. Money, and unanimous vote, the Board accepted Graves' re- commendation and hired these three employees. - There being no further business, the meeting did then adjourn. .- *- CLASSIFIED ADS GET QUICK RESULTS! TRY ONE! CARTER as well as dead twigs and branches. Cut out any disea- sed, injured or spindly growth, and shorten the main canes and lateral branches. But, leave at least half "the length of each main cane that's one to three years old. If you follow these recom- mendations, the first flowers, which can be expected in mid-September, should be larger than they would have been without pruning. If you're growing mums or poinsettias, you should be pinching back stem tips to stimulate greater branching, and promote heavier fall flowering. But, do not pinch too long- not after Septem- ber tenth. Otherwise, you'll be removing flower buds, which will reduce the num- ber of blooms. This is also the time to pinch off some of your camellia buds. As soon as you can distinguish the rounded flower buds from the pointed vegetative buds, twist off all but one of the flower buds of each tip. The remaining buds should de- velop into larger flowers. Some camellia varieties such asSasanquas and Japonicas, are valued for their large number of blooms, and don't need to be pinched. Many common ornamen- tals, such as oleanders, hy- drangeas, and azaleas, can be propagated from summer cuttings. To produce azaleas in this manner, take tip cuttings, three to five inches long, with several leaves attached. Place the cutting in a rooting medium, and keep them moist by covering them with a plastic bag, or by using a mist system. Many rooting mediums can' be used. The most common are sand, and mixtures of peat and perlite. You may want to use a rooting hormone, to hasten root growth. If you have any cold sensitive ornamental in your landscape, you might think about rooting a few cuttings before winter, and keeping the young plants in a protect- ed place. Then, if some of your tender ornamentals do freeze, you'll have replace- ments to set out in the spring. If you want to start some outdoor, plants now, ,you could try bulb types, such as Louisiana iris, ginger, cri- nums, daylilies, amaryllis or zephyr lilies. You can still plant woody ornamentals as well. But, hurry so they'll have a chance to become well established before cold wea- ther arrives. This also is the time to be thinking about planting win- ter annuals, such as baby's breath, calendulas and pan- sies. So start ordering your seeds and preparing the beds for cool-season flowers. * Memorywriters * Copiers Why Settle for Less than the Best? XEROX THE STAR PUBLISHING CO.

Little wonder that alcohol is involved in more than half the serious boating acci- dents. PFD's- According to the United States Coast Guard, drowning causes 85 percent of boating-related fatalities. Before leaving the dock, make sure a U. S. Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is onboard for each person. These should fit properly and be readily accessible. Non- swimmers and children should wear PFD's at all times. Water skiing- When water skiing, a third person is needed whose only job is to watch the skier. This leaves the helmsman free to operate the boat on a safe course keeping a good lookout for- ward in order to avoid other boats, docks, moorings, fish- ermen, and swimming areas. Navigation- A good thing for any navigator to know is that aboard naval vessels, each buoy is checked off as it is passed even in good visibility. This eliminates surprises if visibility be- comes limited. Knowing where you are solves half the navigation problem. Anchor- If your boat's engine fails, your anchor can keep you from being blown onto rocks, swept over a dam or out to sea. Capsizing- Stay with the boat if it capsizes. Climb on top of it if you can. You'll stay warmer and it will be easier for rescuers to see you. Overloading- Overloading is a major cause of boating accidents. So stay within the limits listed on your capacity plate and carry fewer people in rough weather. Night lights- On the water everything looks different at night. When boating at night, be sure you're familiar with the charts and know where to look for lights and how to distinguish one from another. Also, protect your night vision by turning off interior lights and avoiding search lights and flashlights. Use a dim red light to check your charts. A day spent on the water can be the happiest of days. Safe habits can help keep it that way.

Ask for the "1984 Directory" (SGEB-1) and "The World of Florida Sea Grant" (SGR-50). can sometimes make a vital difference. Among a list of safety tips for boaters compiled by the National Safe Boating Coun- cil (NSBC) appear the follow- ing: Float Plan- Before an airline pilot takes off, he-she files a flight plan. Smart boaters do the same but call it a float plan. It should tell where you are going, when you plan to return, describes your boat and names those aboard. This can be left with a friend or a neighbor who can alert the Coast Guard if you're overdue. Weather- NSBC reminds you that a safe boating trip starts at home by listening to the weather forecasts. Broadcasts can be heard continuously on marine wea- ther channels and are also available by phone. Check again before you leave the dock and on the water, keeping an eye out for changes in the sky, wind and water, and your ear on the radio. Alcohol- Alcohol slows reaction time and numbs the senses. Balance is greatly impaired by as little as one or two drinks. Add to that the movement and vibrations of the boat, the glare of the sun, Abuse of Alcohol Seminar A free seminar on alcohol abuse and prevention will be held on Saturday, August 18 at St. James Episcopal Church in Port St. Joe. If you could save some- one's life, would you take the time to learn how to do it? What if the life you save is your own? Or that of a person you love? Naturally, your answer to those questions is "Yes!" Of course you would. . This seminar is designed to `h6lp you do that very thing- save a life. The abuse of alcohol and other drugs of choice is not a private concern. It is a public health problem. But it is a� problem that can be over- come by those who know how to fight back.
