USPS 518-880 FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR, NUMBER 52 THE STAR Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1984 250 Per Copy Overhaul Started Engineering Begun to Repair Sewer Mains The City Commission took steps Tuesday night to start an improvement program which would result in some major renovations of the City's sewer collection lines-particularly the older lines in the system. ,For several years now, the City has been plagued with problems with sewer lines stopping up at different points throughout tbe collection area and an infiltration of wate--especially during times of heavy rainfall. During the recent rainy spell during July, the City's sewer lines had more water infiltrate through the sewer lines above the normal load, than was pro- duced in the water treating plant daily. More than a million extra gallons of water per day found its .way into the system, overtaxing the facilities. Robert Gehrig, of Smith and .Gillespie Engineers of Jacksofiville, who have been involved in the City's sanitary systems almost from its beginning back in the 1930's, made a proposal to the Cominission Tueday night to begin a survey of the system to see just where the problems were and come up with the proper way to repair or replace the collection lines. Gehrig pointed out the rehabilitation project is currently listed on the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation priority list for fiscal year 1985 for construction grants. "As a matter of fact", Gehrig said, "You are number 55 on the list, which means it would be funded in the current fiscal year". Gehrig said the only hitch in the plan is that fiscal 1985 projects have an October 1, 1984 deadline on working drawings, and it would be impossible to comply with the deadline require- ments. * Gehrig proposed to the City that his firm proceed with a sewer system evaluation survey and, at the same time, try to obtain delay in complying for fiscal 1985 until later in the year. "An alternative would be to obtain a favorable position in the fiscal 1986 plans." Gehrig stressed the work of survey and planning up to the state approval point would be at city expense and stressed the project would not cost more than $69,500. "The project will probably be much less than this, but it will not go over the cost estimate". In the survey, the firm would pinpoint Blood Center Coming Here for Quarterly Collection The Northwest Florida Blood Center in conjunction with GufPines Hospital and the Hospital Auxiliary will hold a blood drive Ths ay, August 30, at the corner of 5thand Reid Avenue. To meet the needs-6f blood utilization in the Port St. Joe area these blood drives are held quarterly within the community. The last drive saw about 60 prospective donors turn out, and netted 48 units for use at the area hospital. There were several donor clubs started with Northwest Bloo-Bank.-These clubs- - "pool" their blood resources so that needed blood supplies can be replaced by the elub if a member utilizes blood or components. This is a convenient method for businesses and groups to support the area blood supply programs and help its members at the same time. "We would like other area groups and businesses to open club accounts," said Hugh McEl- vey, hospital laboratory spokesman. Anyone interested should contact the hospital laboratory or Ms. Ethyl Lowery at Northwest Florida Blood Center in Pensacola. h rTe-obile baus rTm"r1' thwst' "makes the experience unique and convenient. The goal for the drive is 60 units. Housing Survey In Progress to Determine Need for Local Improvements Grant writer Julian Webb of Chipley, put a two person team in Port St. Joe this week in the first move of an attempt to secure grant mon- ey to upgrade housing in the north Port St. Joe area. Webb, was given approval of the Commission two weeks ago to proceed with the application and for "neigh- borhood revitalization" which would include im- provements in the water and sewer services in the same area. Gulf County gave its ap- proval for a similar program some three years ago, but the program was smaller in scope than the City's plan and was for rental property only. The city program will not include rental property, Webb said. The program will be targeted at individual owners of woefully sub- standard housing who can't afford to improve their homes by any other means. Webb said one of the reasons the City has been turned down for grants in the past was because it had no fair housing ordinance, in effect. Tuesday night, the Commission was presented several sample fair housing ordinances already adopted by other cities in the Pan- handle area. Attorney Wil- liam J. Rish. asked the Commission to study the samples and be prepared to come up with a document which would fit the needs A here. Clarence Monette, a resi- dent of north Port St. Joe, asked if their area could have input into the ordinance and at least see the proposals before they were finally adopted. Mayor Frank Pate told him copies of what is being considered would be made available to his group, and input would be considered. "There will definitely be a public hearing on the ordin- ance before it is finally adopted", Pate said. HOSPITAL TALK The Commission has been concerned for the past year or so about its agreement with Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville over the future of Gulf Pines here in Port St. Joe. Part of the Commis- sion's deal with Baptist was the improvement of medical facilities here in Port St. Joe. Baptist, of course, pledged to build a new hospital in the near future and an office complex to attract new doc- tors to the area. The Commission has called for a conference with Baptist officials to discuss concrete plans for the future. Attorney Rish told the Commission Tuesday night, the hospital officials are willing to come to Port St. Joe for the conference at any time. The Commission asked Rish to set up the meeting at the earliest possible date- possibly as early as next week. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters, the Commission also: -Instructed the clerk to contact the Department of Transportation about the rapidly deteriorating condi- tion of the recently repaired railroad crossing in Highway 98. -Agreed to send the Clerk and the chairman of the Merchants Association to a conference on downtown re- vitalization to be held in Tallahassee next month. -Accepted the resignation of Oscar Jones from the police department. -Received a reply from St. Joe Paper Company that a request for a ditch ease- ment on the north side of Forrest Hill Cemetery is being considered by the firm. trouble spots through various inspection me- thods, including sending a television camera through the lines to visually inspect them and mark spots in need of repair. In the meantime, the firm would be working with the State of Florida and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop federal EPA grant funds, for fiscal year 1986, to finance the program. Rehabilitation of the sewer collection lines has been on the Commission's priority list for some time, to reduce the flow of effluent to the treatment plant and to remove the nuisance factor caused customers by stopped up,, backed up and balky sewage flow. Gehrig said his firm could get onto the project immediately and would proceed' with their work upon receiving formal instructions from the Commission. The Board instructed their attorney, William J. Rish, to inspect the contract the City has had with the firm for years, and determine, whether or not it still meets all legal criteria. If the contract needs no changes, the firm will be given the green light to proceed within the next few days.

Another handsome plaque recognizing this distinction was mounted on the wall of James Taylor Injured In Cycle Car Accident James Taylor, Jr., 21, of Port St. .Joe, was seriously injured last Wednesday at noon, when he lost control of his motorcycle while passing a car and was run over by a second vehicle. According to Florida High- way Patrol Trooper Herschel Hill, Taylor was injured in an accident on Highway 98 in front of Gulf Aire townhou- ses. He said Taylor attempt- ed to pass a car by going around the, car on the right side. In doing so, he went through the paved parking lot in front of the townhouse development and ran out of parking lot before he could safely come back onto the highway. His cycle hit the grass shoulder of the road, skidded and slid on its side across the highway, tossing Taylor off. Taylor also slid across the highway onto the shoulder on the other side. Timothy Jones, 21, of New- port News, Va., was ap- proaching the scene from the opposite direction in a 1984 Subaru. He saw the accident and attempted to get off on the right shoulder to avoid hitting Taylor. Taylor slid under Jones' moving car, and was run over. Jones' car then struck the cycle. Taylor suffered a broken hip and internal injuries which kept him in intensive care until early this week. Hill said charges are still pending in the accident. the office of Police Chief Robert Maige. In town to make the presentation to City officials were Hampton Dunn, of Tampa, senior vice president of the Peninsula Motor Club (AAA), and Roger Sherman, manager of the Tallahassee Division of the motor blub. Port St. Joe has been honored for eight consecutive years for its remarkable pedestrian safety activities and record. No pedestrian deaths have been recorded here during this long period. According to Dunn, the award is one of 284 top citations to. be presented by AAA clubs across the country in the federation's 45th an- nual Pedestrian Protection Program. More than 2500 cities, and 29 states partici- pated in the AAA survey which evaluates and recog- nizes outstanding pedestrian safety achievements of parti- cipating communities for the previous calendar year. The AAA pedestrian pro- gram, uriique in the nation, focuses attention nationwide on pedestrian safety needs by stimulating interest on the local level in pedestrian-re- lated programs. Recognition is given to cities and states that have demonstrated suc- cessful pedestrian safety pro- grams. Dunn noted that since .1937, when AAAbegan developing the Pedestrian Safety Pro- gram, pedestrian fatalities have declined 48 percent even as motor vehicle regis- trations jumped 459 percent and the nation's population grew by 83 percent. Communities participating in the AAA program are judged with others of com- parable size and characteris- tics. Program areas evalu- ated include maintenance of accident records, safety le- gislation, enforcement, traf- fic engineering, quality of school traffic safety pro- grams and active public information and education programs.

Doing away with solid waste in a manner approved by the state Department of Enviornmental Regulation is surely going to cost us through the pocketbook before very much longer. About two years ago, Gulf County had an acceptable landfill in the Buckhorn site. It was a landfill heartily endorsed by DER as being in the proper soil conditions, high enough to give proper water percolation and re- mote enough so as not to be offensive to anybody. It was the perfect site. Not any more. This so-called "perfect" site is now considered of such a danger it must have special precautions installed to see our environment is not adversely af- fected by its operation. Playing 1 Geraldine Ferraro, the first lady in history to be nominated by one of the major political party to represent the party as their Vice-Presidential nominee is learn- ing the hard way that the boys at the top, playing hard-ball, don't soften up for the fair gender when one gets out of the soft-ball league. The low, hard curve does its same No More Suds Brewery workers in Mil- waukee are losing one of their contract privileges this year. The beer-making firms are removing the privilege of allowing workers to drink free beer on the worker's lunch and rest breaks. It has always been the habit of brewers to imbibe of the suds while resting or eating. No more. It seems the brewery management has realized a worker is not the safest worker he can be if he has been hitting the sauce... even if it is beer ... and even if it is for free. Now, who would have suspected such a thing? K 2 Therein lies our prediction for higher costs to come for handling our solid waste in the future. All of these precautions will cost money. They will cost lots of money and the only logical source of that expenditure is from the people using the service all of us. Already our sanitary services are some of the most expensive services we can have. We agree the service is necessary and it must be paid for. The only reason for this little blurb is to get you prepared for what is coming. We are all going to have our bills increase to do away with our waste products. It's as simple as that. We all applaud the efforts of DER to protect our health and our future, but we would hope they use enough restraint so as not to make us strain at a gnat while we're swallowing this boulder which is protection of our ecology. lard Ball dipsy-doo for the fairer sex as it does for the traditionally male candidate. We don't wish Ferraro any hard luck in her first for the ladies, but we're gratified that considering this second highest office in the world doesn't earn one a soft touch approach as to qualifications even though history and custom has required special treatment for the ladies in the past. Ferraro apparently has some- thing in her state of affairs which needs looking into, where the in- volvement ,of .her .husband's real estate ventures are concerned. Ferraro is trying to get off the hook by claiming the dealings are those of her husband and of no concern or connection with her. The relentless press isn't having any of that. Even in our enlighten- ed age, it is still accepted that a husband and wife are both involved in any venture one of the pair has as his primary interest. Old Harry Truman use to have a motto on his desk in the White House which said, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen". If Ferraro can't stand the scrutiny, she should catch the heat whether she is female or not. With equal treatment comes equal responsibility. You Can Look It Up In the Book! By Kesley Colbert I guess if I had to pick my all time hero when I was a'growing up it would have to be Stan Musial. You remember him, don't you? First baseman outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1941 through 1963. He was a baseball player, Her- bie! Ane he was a good one. We'd play those pick-up games in the field behind our house and I'd always "be" Stan the Man. Of course, he was left-handed and I was right-handed but that didn't slow me down; I tried to walk. like him and talk like him, and most especially play like him. Of course, fun- ny thing was I'd never seen Stan play, or heard him talk. I had seen a picture or two of him in a magazine once. Most of my "pictures" of him came over the radio as we listened to the Car- dinal games. I tried to im- itate what I thought he walk- ed like and talked like. You understand, don't you? I once got in a fight over a close play at second base, my brother called me out, but I know I was safe. I had to argue that, right? Bobby Jack missed the tag. Well, my mother hears all the commotion and she comes out to restore peace and order. Mom spent most of her time in the kitchen but she also served as the com- missioner of the backyard baseball league and although her salary wasn't much to speak of, her deci- sions were more binding that any Bowie Kuhn ever hand- ed down. And in those days we didn't have a player grievance committee; and we never took her to court- we just abided by whatever -ruling we received from the ,. "league office". She ruled against me. Well, shucks, Bobby Jack might have tag- ged me lightly on the pants leg and I slid in. Here's the part I'm trying to get to- after she upheld the out call, she turned to me and very quietly said, "Son, Stan Musial never argues with an umpire on a close play." Boy howdy, I tell you what, it was 10 years later (in college) before I again questioned an umpire's decision. If it was good enough for Stan, it was good enough for me. You know I had the thrill and privilege of being beside that old stand-up Zenith radio on May 2,1954. It was a Sunday afternoon and the Cardinals were playing two games against the New York Giants (remember them?). Stan hit 3 homeruns in the first game and came back and hit two more homeruns in the second game. Five homeruns in one day!! That was just about the highlite of my baseball career. Cards won the first game but lost the second one. And you know what I remember most about the game Stan came up in the bottom of the eighth inning with two men on base and the Cards down by two runs another homer and we're in the lead. He'd already hit five out that day and old Stan will never know it, but a little 7-year-old boy was standing beside that radio pulling as hard as I could for him to do it again. He hit a pop-up in foul terri- tory behind first base, which the Giant first baseman, Whity Lockman caught for the final out in the inning. You seek, you've got to realize that even heroes are human sometimes. On May the second of this year, one of the T.V. net- works was interviewing Stan on the 30-year anniversary of his five homer day. You know what he talked about- not the five home runs,. but the fact that they didn't win the second game 'cause he'd fouled out to Whity Lock- man. I told you me and old Stan thought alike. Nothing wrong with hav- ing heroes. Problem is to know how to pick 'em. I mean, Boy George, or what- ever his name is, is not my idea of a hero. And all those tennis players look alike to me. And you hear so many uncomplimentary things about baseball and football players these days. John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Rocky Lane and the Cisco Kid have kind'a faded but there are heroes out there-you might have to look a little harder. Maybe our problem about heroes today is we're looking too far away-trying to find them in Los Angeles or New York or someplace. You know I loved, and still love, Stan Musial, I looked up to Gary Cooper, Will Rogers and J.C. Caroline, and these people I think-have added something to my life, but the greatest influence on old Kes, and the absolute greatest heroes I've ever (Continued on Page 3) There's Something About "Sunken Treasure " Which Intrigues Us All THE WORLD HAS waited for two years for Peter Gimbel to open the safe of the Italian liner Andrea Doria with bated breath. Everyone has imagined what was in the safe and conjured up visions of pirate treasure, dubloons, pieces of eight, diamonds, jewelry, precious stones and secret treasure maps. I know, the Andrea Doria was sunk in 1956, when it was rammed by a Swedish liner and sank to the bottom, but doesn't every sunken ship contain such treasures? Every time a ship from the era of the pirates has been found, there is a hassle over who gets possession of the treasures. Every time a movie is shown of an adventure around a sunken ship-no matter what the ship's age-there is intrigue and adventure over recovery of the treasure which is always locked in the ship's innards, guarded by a giant octopus or a school of especially hungry man-eating sharks. S. Such is the way with sunken ships. So why should we even pause to consider whether or not the safe of the Andrea Doria contained anything but treasure? SO, WHAT WAS IN the safe when it was opened? As a matter of fact, I didn't see the actual opening, but I read about it in the papers. Actually, I didn't even see it on television news, which shows it wasn't even considered as impor- taste of some of the electronic media editors. WHEN THE SAFE was pried open by workers armed with crow- ETA OINSHRDLU By: Wesley R. Ramsey Here Gimbel spent several months selling the viewing rights to the safe opening to various television stations as a means of raising a buck or two to repay some of the $2 million he spent locating and retrieving the safe. The event was hyped up in the newspapers, trying to build up an interest which wasn't all that keen for seeing a rusty safe opened in the first place. tant an event as Joe Torre getting fined $500 for the now-famous Sunday afternoon boxing match. That just goes to show you where TV's priorities lie. A fight between two baseball managers who are trying to stay out of the way, behind their players, is more important than the public opening of a safe which has been on the ocean bottom for 25 years. There's just no counting for the bars, what did they find? No jewelry. No treasure. No maps. No king's scepter. No secret clues to a 100-year-old murder or answer to a riddle which had bothered scientists for decades. They found some wet, soggy paper currency. I don't know what you expected them to find, but that's all there was. What a disappointment! Even Gimbel, who had hyped the safe opening up in an attempt to recover his out-of-hand expenses in recovery of the safe, was surprised. If he hadn't sold a couple of hours of advertising to accompany the safe opening, poor old Pete would have lost money on the deal. FROM WHAT I read, there was only some $75,0000 in the safe. By today's standards, that's not very much. People are spending that kind of money to buy a two-bedroom town house on Gulf County beaches and the information I get is they're paying cash in advance ... sight unseen. So, $75,000 isn't much money these days. Unless you don't have it. I have never been one to go off looking for buried treasure, myself. Heck, I haven't even been one to go looking for unburied treasure. As a matter of fact, I have never even seen any treasure. Treasure and I are strangers and will probably forever remain so. If I were to go looking for treasure, I think I could find an easier place to look for it than in 200 feet of water. WHEN I WAS a kid and we treked the bayous around these parts, it was rumored there was a buried treasure somewhere around Money Bayou. As a matter of fact, the rumored buried treasure is where the bayou received its name in the first place. Every kid who had an ounce of adventure in his soul just knew the mother lode was buried somewhere in the confines of the bayou-probably under some patch of quicksand which would instantly swallow up any person foolish enough to go looking for it. Today, that treasure in the pot still hasn't been found. So far as I know, there's nobody even looking. Like the Andrea Doria's safe, there are people who are using the bayou to come up with a soggy thousand bucks or two in profits. Like Gimbel; if you can't make it from one source, try selling it as a premium product. It'll work every time.

For the last twenty years, extensive resort and residential development along the Eastern seaboard has proceeded uninterrupted by any major hur- individual on your Board who personally comes out to give of his support and his time in putting the program on", Allen said. Allen said the league and his de- partment wanted to single out Commis- sioner James B. Roberts for his work in getting the field and other facilities in shape for the season and "especially for the Sub-District tournament which was held here in Port St. Joe." Roberts was presented with a handsome plaque by Allen and league president, James Hanlon. Roberts, long a baseball fan in the young boys' leagues here over the years, said, "I sincerely appreciate this". ricane strikes. Evidence is grow- ing, however, that such development has created the potential for a major disaster from the storm surge created by hurricanes. The storm surge is a dome of water, fifty miles long and up to 25 feet high, pushed in front of a hurricane as it approaches land. The storm surge is the ma- jor cause of loss of life in hur- ricanes. Recent computer simula- tions for specific coastal areas developed by the National Weather Service have improv- ed the ability of the Weather Service to forecast flooding by storm surges in many Southern and Gulf state areas. However, Albert C. "Al"RAY Democratic Candidate Dist. 5 Gulf County Commissioner DEPENDABLE A LEADER INTERESTED CONCERNED many vulnerable coastal areas have not yet been studied and no funds are presently available. Where the results of the computer, simulation have been available, however, local of- ficials have discovered that the time needed to evacuate their coastal communities frequent- ly far exceeds the 12-hour war- ning time that the National Weather Service can provide. As a result, research hasbegun to explore whether multi-story buildings in those areas can be adapted to withstand hurricane forces and serve as a "vertical refuge" for the population which cannot be evacuated in time. I firmly believe that a con- stitutional amendment to re- quire a balanced budget is the best solution to our long-term budgetary problems. It will per- manently end the problems we currently have with $200 billion deficits. In the short-term, however, we need budget tools that will enable us to reduce the deficit for FY 1985 and the coming years. This is why I have agreed to co-sponsor a new proposal initiated by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee. First, this bill requires the President to submit a balanced budget to Congress one year before the beginning of a fiscal year. Under the constitutional amendment approach, the President does not have to sub- mit a balanced budget and I believe we should involve the executive branch of govern- ment in this effort.

CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank everyone for your prayers, cards," calls, and all the love shown to me and my family during my illness., It's people like you who make this world a better place to live in. May God bless each and everyone of you. Eugenia Thomas and Family Senate Budget Committees would be required to report out balanced budgets. Should either the President or the Com- mittee submit an unbalanced budget, a clear explanation would have to be made as to why the budget could not be balanced and the American people would'be aware of ac- tions taken that would increase the deficit. The bill would also create a commission to determine what further actions should be taken to amend the, budget process and I would hope the commit- tee would recommend the enactment of a constitutional amendment as a permanent solution. Everyone talks about deficits and the budgetary problems we have and I have co-sponsored this Act because I believe it is a possible solution that deserves serious attention and considera- tion. The time for talk is through and we must have action on the deficit. Weatherization Program Announcement Is your house in need of repairs? Do your windows need replace- ment or repair?

Plan for People in the North Florida area who plan to retire at the end of the year should take some time soon to think about Social Security retire- ment benefits, Ann R. Ki- nard, Social Security field representative for Gulf Coun- ty said recently.. A person should apply for Social Security benefits two or three months before they plan to retire. This way, benefits can begin shortly after income from work stops. Before applying, a person should get the necessary evidence together. This will save time at application time. The first item a person needs is his or her Social Security card or a record of the number. , .,Next, .proof ZRof age., is an official record of birth of baptism recorded before age five. If this does not exist, other proofs can be submit- ted. The people at the Pana- ma City S6cial Security office can tell you what kinds of evidence can be used. Records that might be used include school, church, State or Federal census, insurance Benefits policies, marriage, pass- ports, employment, military service, children's birth cer- tificates, union, immigration or naturalization. This is not an exclusive list and other records may be acceptable. Forms W-2 or self-employ- ment tax returns for the past two years should be pro- vided. These are needed because recent earnings re- ports may not yet be in Social Security records. A husband or wife who also plans to apply should have about the same documents. A marriage certificate may be required, but is not needed in all cases. Information about any previous marriages is also needed. Birth certificates of any young, unmarried children .should. bhgobtained. as well. Additional documentation may be required depending on the particulars of certain cases. The people at the Panama City Social Security office will be glad to answer questions about retirement applications.. The Panama City office is located at 30 West Govern- ment Street and the tele- phone number is 769-4871.

This year it is my privilege to convey to you the activities of the students and faculty of Port St. Joe High School through "Shark Re- view" The 1984-85 school year began last Thursday, August 16, with a bang! The students were greeted with some major changes in their curri- cula. These changes such as an extended day, an added period and, more require- ments for graduation were passed in the state legisla- ture during the past year. Needless-to-say, some of the students were not happy about these changes. The first day started with the traditional opening day assembly. During this as- sembly new as well as returning students were ad- vised of the rules and regula- tions of the school. Various students and faculty mem- bers took part in the opening day ceremony. Eye Openers' By: Dr. Wesley Grace VISUAL FIELDS Q. Might a tendency to bump into things be caused by not seeing things off to the side? A. One of the symptoms of defective visual fields (the inability to see clear- ly objects that are off to the side) is the tendency to bump into things. Some people with visual field defects notice areas of shadow or cloudiness when they look off the side. Others do not. How- ever, some people who constantly bump into things are just rushing all the time and thinking about things other than where they are going. It's a good idea to have a com- plete eye examination and tell your optometrist about this tendency. Q. How does the practitioner test for visual field defects? -A. There are various methods, but-in gener- al-side vision is mea- sured by introducing targets from the side and seeing if the patient is aware of these targets while looking straight ahead. Q. What causes loss of side vision? A. There are many causes. The most common are glaucoma, or diseases of the nerves that go to the eye. Treatment varies de- pending on cause.

W IL EY PAGE EIGHT THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, AUG. 23, 1984 No Garden Complete without 'Greens' the South BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director No fall garden is complete without a patch of greens. The term "Greens" refers to a number of different vege- tables including Chard, Kale, Mustard and Spinach. But many Southerners consider turnips and collards as the only "true" greens. Turnips and collards can be planted in the early spring or fall. Many gardeners prefer planting these crops in the fall since they tend to develop a sweeter taste dur- ing cool weather. Depending on your location in Florida, collards can be planted until mid-September, and turnips until the first of October. Gardeners in other areas of the United States tend to grow turnips primarily for the roots. But in the south, it is the tender, green leaves which are prized. Turnips appeal to many gardeners because the time from planting to harvest is relatively short. Depending S on the variety you select, you can enjoy a pot of turnip greens from 40 to 65 days after planting. The following varieites are recommended for Florida: Purple Top, White Glode, and Just Right. Since turnips do not trans- plant well, sow them directly into the ground. Plant seed half an inch deep in wide rows, spaced 12 to 24 inches ,, apart. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to two to three inches apart.

Do not let the roots become over-mature if you plan to eat them. They will become pithy, hot and strong. Turnips are especial- ly sweet after they've been hit by a light frost. Although light frosts are not a prob- lem, hard freezes will kill the plants. Collards are believed to be primitive members of the cabbage family that do not form heads. They have a flavor similar to turnips, only a bit stronger. Collards are hearty vege- tables and can withstand temperatures as !ow as 20 degrees Farenheit. In some areas of the South they even can be harvested throughout the winter. Select the Geor- gia or Vates varieites for best results.

Eventually thin to 12 inches apart in row spaced 24 to 36 inches apart. Time from planting to harvest for collards is 55 to 70 days, depending on the varie- ty. Unlike many other vege- tables, your collard harvest can last for months since you can harvest a few of the tender, half-grown leaves at any one time, or you can pull the entire plant. The secret to continuing the harvest is to be sure not to disturb the central bud at the tip of the plant's stem. This bud is the source of the plant's new leaves. Like turnips, collards also improve in flavor after a light frost. Both collards and turnips benefit from fertilization dur- ing the growing season. After the greens come up, fertilize with one lb. of 10-10-10 or similar analysis for each 100 sq. ft. of crop. Repeat this every three weeks. Colvin Places First In State 4-H Competition BY ROY LEE CARTER County Extension Director Gulf County 4-Her's and Extension Staff participated in the 20th annual Florida 4-H Congress held on the Univer- sity of Florida Campus, July 23-27.

The theme "4-H Building on Experience", provided the approximately 600 4-Her's, Extension Agents, and volunteer leaders from 60 Florida counties with many learning and growing experiences. The week was highlighted by speakers, demonstration contests, workshops, special recogni- tion and entertainment. State competition in 28 different demonstration cate- gories was held on Tuesday. yJohn Colvin competed in the petroleum power and small engine category. Many of the 4-Her's received their Con- gress trip by winning the demonstration at one of ten district level competitions.

The Thursday program tional Heritage" followed by workshops on "Folk Dan- cing", Juggling", and "Crea- tive Dramatics" to name a few. On Tuesday evening, the "Share the Fun Show" gave district winning talent acts a chance to perform and have some "Fun in the Sun". The climax of the week was the awards and recognition banquet held at the O'Connell Center on Thursday evening. Donors and sponsors from across Florida joined in the recognition of 4-Her's who have excelled in demonstra- tion and record book compe- tition. John Colvin was recog- nized as first place winner in petroleum power and small engines, which is sponsored by the University of Florida's Agricultural Engineering Department. 4-H is a program of the Florida Cooperative Exten- sion Service, and is open to all individuals regardless of race, color, creed, sex, or national origin.

Bu F-1: - 1;P THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY. AUG. 23, 1984 MINUTES ... Gulf County Commission The Board of County Com- mission of Gulf County, Flo- rida, met July 24, 1984 in regular session with the following members present: Chairman Everett Owens, Jr., Douglas C. Birmingham, Jimmy Gortman, Billy Branch, and Eldridge Money. Others present were: Deputy Clerk Maurell Cum- bie, Attorney William J. Rish, Building Inspector- Temporary Mosquito Control Director DeWayne Manuel, and Bailiff Lieutenant Jack Davilla. The meeting came to order at 7:00 P.M. Attorney Rish opened the meeting with prayer and led the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Upon motion by Comm. Gortman, second by Comm. Branch, and unanimous vote, the Board approved the minutes of July 10, 1984. Wayne Walker, Distinctive Builders, stated a drainage ditch on the golf course road is presently located on the old county right-of-way line (100- foot right-of-way) and pre- sented a survey showing the present right-of-way being 66 feet. Walker then requested the county re-located this ditch to the present county right-of-way line (66-foot right-of-way). Comm. Birm- ingham then moved the Board table this request until the next meeting and instruct Road Superintendent Lester and Building Inspector- Temporary Mosquito Control Director Manuel to check the provisions of the county ordinance providing for ac- ceptance of streets, ditches, and other thoroughfares through land not part of a :recorded subdivision con- cerning this request. Comm. Money seconded the motion. Upon Comm. Branch's re- .quest for the Board to review ,the ordinance now, Comm. .'Birmingham then withdrew his motion in order for the Board to study this ordi- nance. Comm. Money then withdrew his second. After reviewing the ordinance (No. 83-6) the Attorney reported it is not applicable to this request (request is to cover up a private ditch and open a public ditch, and ordinance provides for acceptance of a private ditch by county). Comm. Branch then moved if Road Superintendent Les- ter finds the county has adequate space to re-locate the ditch, the Board approve the request to re-locate the ditch. Comm. Birmingham seconded the motion for discussion. Upon question by Comm. Birmingham, Walker agreed to furnish pipe for this ditch. Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously. Deputy Clerk Cumbie re- ported, as per the Board's instructions, the four School Board trailers on loan to the Board of County Commission are now included on the county's insurance policy. Deputy Clerk Cumbie then reported Clerk Gates re- ceived a letter from School Superintendent Walter Wild- er, stating the Gulf County School Board unanimously agreed to transfer ownership of the four portable class- rooms, which have .been donated to the County Com- mission for use in outlying communities (titles not on file- this letter and document- ed action of School Board will serve as transfers of owner- ship). The Chairman then directed the Board write the School Board thanking them for donating these four trail- ers to the Gulf County Board of County Commission. Upon motion by Comm. Money, .second by Comm. Birmingham, and unanimous vote, the Board approved the following change in the coun- ty inventory: Beaches Fire HIGHLAND VIEW BAPTIST CHURCH Corner of Fourth St. and Second Ave. Welcome Friend - SUNDAYSCHOOL ......................... 9:45A.M.

Upon' motion by Comm. Branch, second by Comm. Money, and unani- mous vote, the Board ap- proved both proposals. Mr. Gunn then reported the plans for the solid waste transfer station were pre- pared. After submission of invita- tion to bid for the Solid Waste Transfer Station by E. F. Gunn and advice by the Attorney concerning length of advertising time, Comm. Birmingham moved the Board advertise to receive bids for construction of a Solid Waste Transfer Station on August 28, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. Comm. Money seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Upon the At- torney's inquiry, Gunn stated he would furnish the plans and specifications 'for the transfer station to the Clerk, for the public to inspect and obtain. Upon inquiry by the Attorney, Gunn reported the Department of Environ- mental Regulation has ap- proved the transfer station site. Willard Richards, High- land View Fire Department, stated the fire department wanted to purchase two radios and presented a price quote for the radios to the Board. Upon motion by Comm. Birmingham, second' by Comm. Money, and unani- mous vote, the Board agreed to advertise to receive sealed bids to purchase two radios for the Highland View Fire Department. In further dis- cussion, Richards informed the Board these radios will give the Highland View Fire Department direct communi- cation with the City of Port St. Joe, which on past occasions have been needed. Wesley Ramsey, City Com- missioner, City of Port St. Joe, then suggested the Board hold this bid for the time being as the City had just voted in workshop ses- sion this afternoon to pur- chase a new radio system. After the Board discussed this with Richards, Comm. Birmingham then moved the Board rescind its previous action to advertise to receive bids to purchase two radios for the Highland View Fire Department. Comm. Money seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously. Parks Planning Commis- sion Director Wayne Childers informed the Board he had received the county's deed for the White City Property (no cost to county) and the Federal Highway Admini- stration had asked that the county not sign the Transfer of Title until they review it for any problems with their plans for the new bridge at White City. Childers stated the Federal Highway Ad- ministration should notify him concerning this by Thursday or Friday of this week so this transfer can be closed out. Childers also reported the Department of Transportation is enjoined by law from building a highway on Federally designated park property unless there is a feasible alternative, and dis- cussed the possibility of trading a 50' x 90' strip of the White City property at the bridge site in exchange for approximately 3 acres ad- joining the White City Pro- perty, belonging to the De- partment of Transporation. ,Parks Planning Commis- Ssion Director Wayne Childers then reported on Housing and Urban Development qualifi- cations for all type grants available for Gulf County. (Continued on Page 13) Memorial to A Friend On August 9, 1984 I lost the dearest and most precious thing a person can have, a friend. For all of us who knew and loved her, we will miss her crazy laugh, her warm smile, and her straightfor- wardness. But she will always be a part of our lives, embedded in our memories of her. She'll always be with me. I'll miss you Pee Wee. A special friend, Betty Fain Re-elect W. Fred Disabled Vets' Children Eligible for Scho Applications for the Scho- larship Program of Disabled American Veterans for the college term beginning in the fall, 1985, will be available from National Headquarters 'Bibing Boaters Beached Beginning October 1, wild- life officers for the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commis- sion will have one more tool to help keep the state's inland waterways safe. That's the date the new "drunken boaters" bill takes effect. The boating safety bill passed by the 1984 Florida Legislature is patterned af- ter the tough driving under the influence law and will be strictly enforced, said Lt. Col. Brantley Goodson. Goodson, director of the Commission's Division of Law Enforcement, said wild- life officers will be actively enforcing the law which is designed to keep the water- ways safer. "Last year, wildlife offi- cers made 2,154 boating- related arrests," Goodson said, "and in the last six months alone, they have issued 1,840 warnings. "This new law will just help our officers as they patrol Florida's 4,454 square miles of inland water," he added. Under the new law, convic- tion of operating a vessel while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs carries progressively tougher sentences and fines with mandatory community service work and substance abuse treatment. In addition, wildlife offi- cers can require boat opera- tors suspected of being in- toxicated to be tested similar to that being done with suspected drunk drivers. "Drinking and driving doesn't belong on our fresh- water lakes and rivers any more than on our highways," Goodson said. "We want to keep boating safe and plea- sant for everyone."

Branch met with Evan Willi- ams, F4re Chief, Beaches Fire Department, who is proposing a substation res- cue squad at the Beach in the future and who presently has twenty-three volunteers (who will have to be trained to assist the St. Joe Ambu- lance Squad at 'this time).
