USPS 518-880 FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 50 THE STAR Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1984 2 N FlOITPIO p 25 Per Copy Construction Started On New Beaches' Water System Actual construction work started Monday of this week on the long-awaited water system for the Beaches area, westward to Gulf Aire subdivision. I-C Contractors of Lynn Haven moved in to the area last week and started digging and laying pipe on Monday morning on the $889,501.77 project, which is funded by a federal grant and a loan to the system. The Gulf County Commission started working on the plans and financing of the system nearly two years ago, and after meeting several discouraging dead-ends in the financial arrange- ments, finally were successful in getting- the Farmers Home Administration agency to handle the financial portion of the project with a 50 percent grant and a loan for the remaining half of the project. The new system will purchase treated water from the City of Port St. Joe and distribute it through a pipeline to Highland View and the entire area between Highland View and Gulf Aire. The remainder of the beaches area, to the I-C Contractors building system at a cost of $889,501.' Bay County line, is furnished water from the Mexico Beach system. The construction is starting right on schedule with plans for furnishing water through a public distribution system to the area by early next spring. Even after two years of planning, it appeared as if the project would be shot down when bids were received, as the low bidder, I-C Contractors, were still $25,000 more than the money available for the project. I-C agreed to cut its price by $25,000 and not sacrifice any of the service to be offered. If there is any "cutting back" necessary to come within the money available it will be in isolated areas where piping was going to be installed for future development. The Beaches system has already received deposits from more than 300 potential customers to the utility. Highland View already has a system in place, which will need extensive refurbishing and will use the new system as a supply source for treated water. The Highland View treatment plant is in a bad state of disrepair almost to the point of not being useable, due to lack of attention. A water system to the beaches area had long been a priority with residents of the area and the County Commission, but a recent surge in growth in the area has made the system almost essential to serving the beaches area properly and safely. As of now, the entire beaches area, with the exception of one small private system serving some 10 to 15 homes, the entire area is served by individual water pumps, some operating on extremely shallow wells. The Commission tried to include a sewer system in their plans, also, but couldn't get financing for both projects. Presently, the vicinity is served with individual septic tanks.!

Webb had made a request for the funds last year for the city, but to no avail. "We stand a better chance this year, because we will move up in line for the available funds. This just might be the year we're successful", Webb said, although he gave no guarantees. The grant specialist said the City would earn more points toward receiving the grants if the Commission would adopt a Fair Housing ordinance. He pointed out nearly every city in the Panhandle has already adopted such an ordinance which merely follows the Federal Fair Housing Act, prohibiting discrimination in housing sales and rentals. "All of your real estate people work under the guide- lines of the Act already", Webb said. The Commission said they would explore such an ord- inance and consider its adoption.

Graham replaces Jerry Gates, who resigned from the Council in June. Somehow or other, County Commission Chairman Everett Owens vows these ambulance vehicles will continue to roll after midnight Friday night, when the volunteer service, which has served the county for over 10 years, will go out of business and cease to function here in the south end of Gulf County. -Star photo Ambulance Service Heavy Load Forces An End to Volunteers Port St. Joe's Volunteer Ambu- lance service will cease to exist as a volunteer unit Friday night at midnight. With a last minute attempt to save the system Tuesday night failing to come up with a solution which would meet state require- ments, members of the Port Sc. Joe Squad said the service had just grown to be too much for them to handle with their limited personnel and they were having to give up the service. "We hate to do it", squad chief, Catherine Ramsey said, "but the number of calls, plus the small number of- volunteers and the increased state requirements for certification of technicians is just all combining to force us to call it quits", she said. "We just do not have the trained personnel available to provide the service any longer as the state regulations require", the director said. In May, the service warned the County Commission they were in trouble due to lack of trained volunteer personnel to handle the daytime operation. Since that time time has run out on the state certification of several of the Emergency Medical Technicians and it would now take up to 10 months of taking courses in order for them to re-certify under new state guidelines. "Volunteer people just don't have that kind of time to put into training", Ramsey said. Expiration of the licenses of the EMTs has placed a further burden on the techincians still licensed to the point where they can't meet the need. Ever since the ambulance ser- vice was inaugurated some 10 years ago, it has operated with volunteer personnel and has met state stan- dards. It is now almost impossible. for volunteers to meet the stan- dards.. Commission Chairman Everett Owens told The Star, "We expect to have an ambulance service of snme kind operating Saturday and every day, but I don't know right now, what it will be. We have tried to extend the certification of our present EMT people, but the state won't budge. Between now and Saturday, I'll be trying to hire someone to operate the service here in the south end of the county. At present, the Wewahitchka service is not in trouble. They have enough personnel to meet their demand for service and the need to re-certify hasn't affected their squad as yet. Owens said the remaining squad members were willing to help with the service in any way they could, but would be unable to take the lead. "Frankly, I don't see how they provided the quality service they did for as long as they did. That was a major undertaking", Owens said. While the service has provided a operation which was at no charge to the patient for all these years, that is all likely to change in just a short while. Next Thursday I % POIF Editorials and Comments THE STAR THURSDAY, AUG. 9, 1984 PAGE TWO After a week of the Olympics on the TV, who cares that the Russians and their "yes" nations aren't here? Who has to have an olympics where there is bickering, fussing, objecting, favoritism, un-sportsman- like conduct? In short, who needs the Russians in the Olympics, anyway? We'll take the Chinese as replace- ments any day. It's obvious they are doing what they do at an Olympics through ability and strength; not because they are souped up with some sort of steriod or drug. When the Chinese lose they are gracious about it. When they win, they are still gracious about it. As a matter of fact, the same goes for the athletes from the other nations, also. We have never been a rabid SOlympic fan. In the past, when the judges gave a grade, it was obvious which part of the world the judges came from and obvious which part of the world the athletes came from, just by watching the scores the judges gave the various participants on the several events. Mind you, we aren't saying the Russian bloc judges cheated, you understand. We are saying they had strong feelings for the participants from their land or who approved of their system. This year, points are "Lucky" s One good thing about newsap- 3 ers, you never know what little tid-bit of information you're going to learn in them when you pick one up to read it. That isn't just true of big papers ; like the Atlanta Journal or the Miami Herald or little papers like The Star. If \ you look around, there's always something in there which will startle, inform and maybe surprise you. Here at The Star, we print a couple other papers besides our own ; and one of these papers had something in it last week which should sadden the hearts of any dog lover, gladden the hearts of anyone who likes a well- turned phrase and surprise those who expected to see the old usual, mundane classified advertisement. The dog advertisement read: LOST DOG One male. six-month-old red mixed breed dog. Has hair missing in various places (don't believe it's mange). Missing one eye due to fight with large cat. One ear is a few inches shorter due to another fight with another dog. Walks with a limp as he was hit by a car. His tail is bobbed thanks to my :neighbors kid! And most -of his teeth are gone as he snapped a tire on a moving car. He answers to the name of Lucky!" given on the basis of merit or accomplishment by all the judges. It's so obvious there is a difference in the manner of judging it almost seems like a different event than in the past. Back to the Chinese: they have been a refreshing team. In the case of the basketball game with the U.S., it was apparent from the outset they were out-manned, so the Chinese just played their game and had a good time. No matter they were getting their socks beat off by a much taller Hunts Names of Needy and L Eligible Vets Mr. Ramsey: (if ava The VFW Veterans Service to the Officers of the State of Petersl Florida have been requested by the Veteran Administra- 3) T' tion (VA) to assist in identify- ing 73,100 female veterans in .the State of Florida.

Just thought I would add my two cents worth. Virginia Owens We Still Don't Know How Richard Got Down By Kesley Colbert Boy howdy, have you seen enough of-the Olympics yet? Listen, as long as the Ameri- cans keep racking up the medals, I'm going to keep on watching. One night last week I sat in my living room cheering as hard as I could for an American I'd never heard of to win the gold in something called Greco- Roman wrestling. Greco- Roman wrestling I'd never heard of that either and certainly never had seen two guys actually engaged in that kind of battle. I also .didn't understand what they were trying to do and watch- ed ardently for 20 minutes and still didn't know what was going on, except that when it was all over the American had won the gold medal and that was good enough for me. Shoot, I wish the. Russians were here 'cause our Greco-Roman wrestlers could beat those guys with one hand tied behind their backs. I'll tell you somethilse, "the National Anthem" has replaced "Wabash Cannon- ball" as my all-time favorite song. Water polo, steeplechase, triple jump, basketball, high hurdles, platform diving, volleyball, archery, the equestrian events, gymnas- tics, shooting, cycling, and a partridge in a pear tree. I tell you the games of the XX- III Olympiad have got it all. They've even got the ham- mer throw. In the summer of 1958 we were building a barn in the pasture behind our house and my dad hit his thumb while nailing on the tin roof-you talk about a hammer throw. I guarantee you it was an Olympic record. Of course, with all the events comprising the "Games of '84" you'd think that the Olympic Committee had left nothing out. Well you're wrong 'cause I've got a couple of "games" that I think should have been in- cluded in this year's Olym- pics. You take for instance the old grapevine swing across the big ditch. We used to have a lot of fun with that one. There was this big grapevine hanging out of a huge oak tree at a spot where the ditch was about 25 yards COLBERT across (of course they'd have to use meters in the Olympics). We'd get a runn- ing start, jump a'hold of that grapevine and swing across the big ditch. The trick was to let go at just the right mo- ment on the other side. If you let go too early or just a tad too late you'd do a nosedive into the bank. Worst of all, if you "got scared" and didn't let go at all, you could not make it back to the other side. So you just swung above the ditch until the vine stopped and there you hung. It was a 20 to 30 foot drop to the bottom of the ditch and a 30 to 40 foot climb to the tree that was holding the vine. Many evenings we left the (Continued on Page 8) What Price Progress? Last year, this spot was a vista of scrub pines, saw grass, and other vegetation which has been unique with St. Joseph Peninsula for years. A veritable wilderness stretched from C-30S to the Gulf of Mexico, which lies just beyond the Line of sand dunes which are directly behind the seventh building in the distance. Preparations are being made for at least three more similar buildings on this same property. .wThese buildings, which are sold as AIL "town houses", are only a small portion of the structures being put up on the Peninsula, facing both the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay. The area has seen an unprecedented growth. If the present rate ""of growth continues, the area will be more congested than Beacon Hill and Mexico _.

You'd Better Go Soon If You Hope to Remember Wilderness of Peninsula IF YOU HAVE any plans to take one last, long look at what is left of the wilderness area on St. Joseph Penin- sula to remember for posterity, I would suggest you load up the family flivver, put in a gallon or two of gas -and take a spin over on the Peninsula i in the next week or two. The wilderness which once was along the entire length of the Peninsula is fast becoming a thing of the past. Somehow or other, the word has leaked out on the "Best kept secret'in Florida" and people intent -on making money are making it. In Sthe process, the wild wilderness which was once the Peninsula is turning into .subdivisions, concrete and paved -roads. : It was just a few years ago (less than two decades) when one had to have a four-wheel drive vehicle if he - expected to get off old Highway 98 and :.onto the Peninsula in a motorized vehicle. Then the paved strip of road was pushed onto the Peninsula to give the Air Force access to their isolated missile tracking station. The road is no mere track anymore, -nor is the tracking station in the wilderness and isolated. It used to be an adventure to get to the U.S. Coast Guard station which took care of the Loran station and the after another until the last five years when the movement has rushed ahead with the fury and speed of one of the hurricanes which can still turn the Peninsula back into a wilderness with beach on- their four-wheel drive vehicle only to be faced with a bare rear. This tug of war between those who wished to go bathing in a bathing suit ETA OIN SHRDLU By: Wesley R. Ramsey lighthouse at about the point where the Peninsula attaches itself to the mainland. The road to the Coast Guard station is still not much more than a patchy asphalt path. AFTER A WIDE asphalt paved road was built to serve the new state park located on the Peninsula, it has been one false start at development a 24-hour visit to this area. Five years ago, we were fighting .the influx of nude bathers from the Tallahassee area. They came here to the Cape San Blas beach for their bare basking in the sun because it was isloated and remote. It was a long time before anyone even complained. Then some family decided to rough it one week end by taking to the isolated and those who didn't continued until those who wanted to stay clothed started buying property and building houses. Now, one wouldn't dare get up in the morning and slip out to get the paper in his BVD's for fear of being seen. A RIDE OUT on the Peninsula last Friday afternoon revealed much, much building activity which wasn't there about a month ago when I drove out toward the State Park. It is building up fast. I can see where most of us alive today are going to live long enough to see the entire beach area closed off by developers and private property owners. I admit I had an opportunity to buy me a little patch of wild, natural beach front property from which vantage I could sit on a stump or a lawn chair, in the wilds, and watch the waves pound to my heart's content. But I didn't. Now, I hear most every foot of the waterfront property has been pur- chased. I can't deny those who own it have the right to do with it whatever they please and they have. Most have fenced it off and erected a gate to keep those of us who had the opportunity to buy the property and didn't-out! When you make your last-minute nostalgic trip to see the Peninsula, re- member when we used to go over there to shoot doves, ride the beaches, fish and camp out. Remember those days well, because that's all you can do, now. I can see where the old driving on the beach question is going to get hotter and hotter and more controver- sial and more argumentative as time goes on. THE IRONY OF IT all is that for years we have all castigated St. Joe Paper Company for hanging on to their land and not allowing all of us to have it in order to develop our locale. I can see the day coming, in the not so distant future when there will be a ground swell of appreciation for St. Joe Paper hanging on to their land. Where we once cursed them for being so obstinate about their land, we're going to praise them for being so tight fisted. It is soon going to be the only way us folks who don't own a piece of the beach can get on it.

Woullard was travelling east on Fifth Street. Mrs. Parker was taken to Gulf Pines Hospital by the volunteer ambulance ser- vice, where she was treated for a broken left foot as well as several bruises and abra- sions. Woullard was not hurt in the crash. An estimated $2,500 dam- ages was inflicted on Mrs. Parker's 1984 Cougar and $600 to Woullard's 1969 Ply- mouth. Four children were shaken up and suffered from bruises when a pick-up truck and a Plymouth sedan were in- volved in an accident on St. Joseph Peninsula near the location known as "Tapper's hole" Friday afternoon.

St. Joe Furniture Co. 205-07 Reid Avenue Eye Openers By: Dr. Wesley Grace VISION CARE FOR THE VERY YOUNG Even a child who shows no obvious symptoms (such as crossed eyes, milky pupils, a droopy lid) should have his/her first eye examina- tion by the third birthday. Non-obvious disorders which are due to poor visual development can be moni- tored and often reversed by your optometrist. In examining a young child, the optometrist tests how the eyes function together as a team, the way vision is used to guide move- ment and handle objects, and clarity of sight. Good vi- sion in infancy can help fore- stall future vision problems. Parents can play an important role in stimulat- ing vision in early childhood. * Using a dim night light in a child's room. * Shifting the baby's position in a crib, and position of the crib itself. * Moving the child to dif- ferent rooms during the day. * Providing toys and ac- tivities that encourage eye/hand coordination. * Allowing a child to crawl, creep and explore his en- vironment. * Encouraging visual dis- crimination in conjunction with the use of the other senses. This is a preventive ap- proach to vision care which guides a child's visual development and coor- dinates this development with those of the other four senses.

This system is so cumber- some and some of the items so small or their value so specialized, the Commission has just considered the sy- tem more trouble than it was worth and as a consequence the items are piling up. At an auction, bids would be received, complying with, the law, and an atmosphere would be created which might aid the City in clearing out some of its "unclaimed treasures". In other words, the City is going to hold its version of a garage sale on the first Saturday in October. In the City's case, it will be a warehouse front yard sale, ntinued from Page 1) with all the items offered, neatly lined up for inspection by potential buyers and an auctioneer to encourage them along. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters, the Commission: -Awarded a bid to pur- chase a new police car from St. Joe Motor Company, low bidder for the car. -Decided to study regula- tions to provide facilities for the handicapped in and around the City Hall. -Agreed to try to solve a drainage problem at Forrest Park cemetery. -Heard a report which said. it appeared the City might owe $45,097 on or before October 1, 1984, and $16,911 over the next four years on the Florida Patients Compensation Fund for the hospital during the City's ownership.

Everyone has to do their share or soon it will he too late to reverse the current dangerous trends. Pollution is a very definite hazard to good health. Air pollution can lead to serious respiratory problems and waste pollution can bring on disease breeding un- sanitary conditions. During the summer months we can all help at home or on vacation, by making an ex- tra personal effort to avoid doing things that pollute our environment.

May we be your personal family pharmacy?" | BUZZETT'S DRUG STORE Free Parking Drive-In Window w 229-8771 317 Williams Ave. Port St. Joe 'iN .iDWa WW1i9!agB The Gulf County Commis- sion is tentatively moving toward setting a new county budget which is looking more and more like it will require additional taxes every day. "Every time we think we have a budget plan worked out, something else comes along and ruins all our figuring", Chairman Ever- ette Owens said. Owens was referring to unexpected expenses which have all been revealed within the past month, which will take big bucks to solve. One of the main problems is the matter of providing solid waste disposal. This is the year when it must all come about. The county must stop burying solid waste in' a hole in the ground here in south Gulf County and haul it to another hole in north Gulf County. In order to do this, the county has come up with a program to join with the City of Port St. Joe and build a compacting plant to pre- pare the garbage for ship- mentry Provisions had'been made for the plant expense, but it has now been learned the entire package of building the new system, closing down the old land-fill and getting the remaining land-fill re- permitted by DER is going to cost about $200,000 more than expected. "According to DER, it is going to cost us more to close SKes (Continued from Page 2) ditch heading for the house with Richard .Gooch still holding on to that grapevine hanging over the middle of the ditch. As I think back on it now, I wonder how Tom Selleck would have handled it. They could have dug a big ditch in that Los Angeles Col- iseum they got everything else in there ... Hey, another good event would be sliding down a hill on a piece of cardboard. Pro- blem there would be a false start 'cause once you got go-, ing there'd be no stopping to you got to the bottom of the hill. If the Olympic Commit- tee didn't go for the card- board race, how about put- ting a guy in an old used tractor tire and rolling him around the track two or three times. The winner would be the guy that could crawl out of that tire and then walk the straightest line. Now, I don't know much about chewing, but it almost seems un-American to have any kind of games and not in- clude a tobacco spitting con- test. Apd the winner should be determined by accuracy, not distance. I never did go in much for that distance stuff- I like those guys that can put it on the mark. Heck, we didn't even get into marbles, or hide-and-go- seek or apple bobbin' or yodeling. If you've got a "sport" you'd like to see in the Olym- pics just send in a post card explaining in 25 words or less why your game should be in the Olympics and also be sure to include the man- datory 2 box tops from your favorite cereal. Respectfully, Kes Adult School Offers Course The Adult School is now offering general education, leading to a high school diploma, from 8:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M., Monday through Fri- day, and in the evening from 6:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M., Monday through Thursday. If you are interested call 227-1744, or come by the center located at Long Avenue South, behind the High School. FOR BESI RESULTS, SHOP THE WANT ADS the old laAd-fill site than it is to get the Buckhorn site permitted", Owens said. "It's ridiculous, but that's the way it is". Another extra expense is, the sudden collapse of the volunteer ambulance service which is also partially caused by state regulations. "That's going to cost us some money and we don't know yet how much", Owens said. An estimate about three weeks ago was that the operation of a paid system would cost about $80,000 in new money per year, provided the county started charging for the service. MEETING TUESDAY The County has to make. up its mind by next Tuesday approximately how much millage they will be levying in the new budget. Mike Dorsey, an account- ant hired by the Board to help with preparation of the bud- get, predicted tax payers in the county were going to be faced with new taxes. "Even if they don't raise the mill- age, they will see about a 10.6 percent increase in the aver- age tax bill because of increased valuations", Dor- sey said. He pointed out that property values were hiked some $33 million over last year, "$30 million of that is increases in present property and $3 million is for new building since last year", he pointed out. Dorsey said the county was considering a five per- cent salary increase for its employees and is tentatively considering an across the board raise rather than an. individual i percentage in- crease. "This keeps the *higher wage people from building up even higher differences between their pay and those of lower paid people", he pointed out. Up to this point, everything which has been done toward the budget has been tenta- tive, with some more drastic changes sure to come if surprises keep popping up,. according to both Dorsey and Owens. 20 ND * Unexpected Problems Keep Coming Up CHIC.O MRETAN 0 IR .LlESoeAL O.LARSIES I-" . ;,. .* I ,..

When the Rus- sians first suggested that we sit down in Vienna to discuss space based weapons and anti- satellite weapon systems, it was viewed as a hopeful sign and a prelude to talks about the entire range of weapons and the need to control the arms race. Almost instantly, however, the Soviet Union began to make excuses as to why the talks should not be held causing many to wonder if they were sincere in the first place or simp- ly using the suggestion of talks for propaganda purposes. We now know this was the intent all along. The United States agreed to the discussions and suggested that we broaden the talks to in- clude other weapon systems. The Russians vehemently refus- tivities. City of Port St. Joe. Florida, has designated the following office as the contact to coordinate efforts to comply with their requirement.

Their actions have always fail- ed and will fail again. The American public will not be duped by the Soviets into believing that they are looking out for our best interests. The Senate committee has approved H.R. 9, the Florida Wilderness Act. This is legisla- tion I introduced to expand wilderness areas in the Apalachicola, Osceola and Ocala National Forests and to terminate phosphate lease rights in the Osceola National Forest. The way is now cleared for Senate floor action on the measure. I first introduced this legisla- tion in 1974 and we have come close to getting it signed into law on a couple of occasions. The House of Representatives passed the bill in June, 1983 by unanimous vote and the Act was co-sponsored by the entire Florida House delegation. The President has indicated that he will sign H.R. 9 into law when it reaches the White House and I am hopeful that we can get the bill to the President before the end of September. Both Senator Chiles and Senator Hawkins deserve praise for their efforts in this matter: The struggle has been a long one but, at last, we are close to achieving our goal. The results of my annual questionnaire are almost com- pleted and I will be releasing the findings in the very near future. i I K 11 21 STATE ATTORNEY Prosecutions, Not Plea Bargains Available When Needed Conservative Money Management Ed Miller Believes Victims, Too, Have Rights DEMOCRAT PAID POLITICAL AD ting our nation.

He is kind, courageous and just. I have never known him to refuse help to anyone who asks it of him. He wants to serve all of us as our Sheriff. If he hasn't seen you personally, it's only because time hasn't allowed him to. Some people say that he isn't qualified, because he hasn't served in office before, but I say that could be an ad- vantage. I believe his humanity together with his clear sense of right and wrong would put him in the lead. Signed, A Friend to J. E. (Eddie) Carnley MARILYN Pd. Pol. Adv. we wa the garden. Line one side of the trench with roofing paper or plastic film, and fill it in again. This will form a barrier against the roots of nearby landscape plants. Of course, good soil is important. Unfortunately, as backyard gardeners, most of us have to do the best we can with the kind of soil we have. However, we can give our gardens a boost by mixing .in ofrganic materials, things like manure and compost. With such supplements, we can grow vegetables even if our home soil is nothing but sand. Before you ever plant the first seeds of transplants, you need to think about the vegetable varieties you will choose to grow. Of course, you can walk into your garden center and buy what- ever you see. But remember, vegetable varieties differ in quality. They also vary in both disease resistance and climatic factors which can be vitally important. To find out which varieties are recom- mended for your area, con- sult a copy of Extension Circular 104, "The Vegetable Gardening Guide" at your County Extension Office, or your garden center may have a reference copy. ~pplsXt~a~B~s~B~~n~~s-((lsi~l*Or BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director You might not realize it by looking at the thermometer, but Fall is not too far away. It's time to start thinking about planting your brck- yard vegetable garden. This information I will offer today should sound familiar to experienced gardeners. But a brief review shouldn't hurt anyone. I hope it will help those trying vegetable gar- dening for the first time.. Just about all vegetable crops can be grown in Florida, if you plant them in the right seasons. It's even fun to try things like aspara- gus and rhubarb although they really aren't well-adapt- ed to our growing conditions. The most important thing is to grow vegetables you and your family like to eat. My information for this article was provided by Extension Vegetable Garden Specialist Jim Stephens. The first consideration in planning your garden is where to put. it. You want it fairly close to your house, so it's handy to work in. You want it near an outside water faucet so that irrigation isn't a problem. But the thing you really want to be sure about is proper light. If possible, locate the garden so it gets full sunlight all day. Unfortu- nately few of us enjoy that luxury. So we have to choose between morning sun and afternoon sun. Leaf and root crops generally can stand a little shade. You might want to fence your garden, to keep out nuisances such as dogs and children. In some places, animals such as rabbits are a problem. A fence also will serve as a trellis for pole beans and other crops that need support. In some cases, you'll also have to protect your crops from nearby trees and shrubs. Tree and shrub roots will compete with vegetables REASONSS to see your good neighbor agent CAR HOME LIFE HEALTH BILL WOOD 411 Reid Ave. 229-6514 or 229-6103 Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. STATE FIARM INSURANCE COMPANIiES Hoe Ofice: BIool.lto.. llWoi foeOie lointn I~os Jordan said evidence shows. Florida was totally under water some 500 million years ago, but had reefs being formed which would one day create this spit of land. The center of the activity was around the Lake City area, where evidence of volcanic activity created an island to begin the state. About 300 million years ago, a collision of the conti- nents wrinkled the present shoreline, causing the moun- tain ridges to form from pressure. These ridges ex- tended down as far as, Tallahassee and started a bridging action with the Lake City -area volcanoes. Nearly 200 million years ago, the continents started pulling apart again, leaving the defined continents we find today. About 140 million years ago, tile seas rose to cover about half the North Ameri- can continent, including all of the Florida peninsula. Jordan said about two mil- lion years ago, the state started forming for the last time from the residue of billions of sea animals dying and their remains forming a limestone reef which acted as the foundation for the formation of the spit of land. Even today, the highest elevation of the state is a little over 600 feet above sea level, which Jordan attri- butes to the suspected vol- canic action of ages past. As for the limestone foun- dation, Jordan said it has been responsible for creating a huge aquifer under the state which covers most of the state with depths of up to thousands of feet. "We have a plentiful water supply", Jordan said. Guests of the club were Pete White and Larry Mc- Ardle, both of Port St. Joe. The engineer was speaking at a regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club here, Tuesday of last week. The Tung Oil Paint Made to Last and Stay White Longer For All Your PAINTING NEEDS SEE or CALL Al Smith 609 Woodward Avenue 229-8827 4tp 7112 THE COUNTY RECORD Blountstown The Department of En- vironmental Regulation is seeking to designate the upper Apalachicola River as an "Outstanding Florida Wa- ter". A public workshop will be held August 21' at 7:00 p.m., CDT at the Calhoun County Courthouse to answer questions and listen to con- cerned citizens. The designa- tion would be effective in giving the DER more power, add to existing regulations, and 'could influence the fu- ture of every county which borders the river (including Gulf). From reading the informa- tion sent, it appears that the OFW designation could or would prohibit any new con- struction along the river. This designation will have no effect on present commercial docks, boat ramps, industry, etc., but will have an effect on future facilities of this nature. If this is true-then the OFW could have a negative impact on the future economic development on every county which touches the river, both present and in the future. The Calhoun County Cham- ber of Commerce is support- ing a high level of water quality for the Apalachicola River and wants to preserve quality fishing and other related sports. They also believe the river can serve the recreational interest and the commercial interest without adversely affecfng the other. The Calhoun Coun- ty organization feels the DER has all the power necessary to preserve the water quality without the burden of more regulation. As an example, they point out it took Rysco shipyards about two years to get approval to, put in a boat slip and make their facility us- able. The Calhoun County Cham- ber intends to push for local control of the river and its use. They consider the river a valuable local asset and want to maintain local con- trol for that reason.

Florida has been formed, washed away and re-formed seven times in the past 500 million years or so give or take a paltry million years or so, according to Bill Jordan, an engineer with Ardaman Associates of Tallahassee. Ardaman Associates makes its living telling people what lies deep down underground' in certain spots in Florida. and, as a result, Jordan has become sort of an amateur geologist. According to Jordan, about as much of the Florida plateau lies underwater off both shores of the state, as is seen above sea level. "The shelf extends for some 100 miles into the .Gulf of Mexico and about 20 miles into the Atlantic before dropping off in what is known as the Continental Shelf. That por- tion of the Florida plateau extending above sea level is approximately 140 miles wide. I I T!E STAR, Port St. Joe. Fla.
