Three Injured


In Two Accidents In Area Monday


Three people were injured
in two accidents in and near
Port St. Joe during the past
week-two of them with
serious leg injuries.
Monday at noon, a New
Mexico man had his leg
broken and knee injured
when a driver turned into an
intersection in front of his
vehicle.
According to Port'St. Joe .
Police reports, John Ander-
son Ballard., 19, of Las
Cruces, New Mexico was
travelling south on U.S 98
near the Second Street inter-
sectidi, when Roy Vinson
Harper, Sr., 68, of White City,
turned in front of the cycle as
he turned into the Post Office
parking lot. The cycle struck
the Harper vehicle in the
right .rear quarter, throwing
Ballard .from his. machine,
where he landed in the
middle of the southbound
lane of Highway 98, about 25
feet away.
Ballard was taken by Gulf
County Ambulance to Gulf
Pines Hospital for treatment
of his injuries.
Investigating officers
James Savage, James
Graves and Sheriff's depu-.
ties have not filed charges in
the incident, pending further
investigation.
CAR OVERTURNS
Late Monday evening,
about 10:45, a late model car
overturned on county road
C-30 near the Highway 98
intersection, sending two
men to Gulf Pines Hospital
for treatment.
According to Chief Deputy
Sheriff Mike White, John
Ward, 24 and John Evans, 22,
both of Panama City were
injured when the driver lost
control of the car in which
they were riding and flipped
over as they were approach-
ing the intersection.
Ward suffered a dislocated


hip and other injuries and
Evans suffered from cuts


and bruises from the acci-
dent.


Two men were injured when this sedan
overturned on C-30 near the Highway 98
intersection Monday night. Both men


White said the accident is
still under investigation.

With the terse sentence,
"Our study and evaluation

tions that we believe are
weaknesses which should be
reported to you", the Jack-
sonville auditing firm of

. Tuesday of this week.
The auditing firm spent
2 some four to five weeks here
in early August and again in
Slate September going over
City record keeping, looking
Y for errors or weak proce-
dures. The company has
been auditing the City's
books for the past four years.
The current audit was the
first the city has ever receiv-
ed, in recent history at least,
which didn't have at least one
criticism or suggestion to
make.
The Commission congratu-
lated Clerk Alden Farris and
his staff for achieving the
report.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Timothy White, a' District
Engineer with Travellers In-
surance Company reported
three areas of needed repairs
after a recent safety survey
of city premises. Travellers,

city's insurance, performs

made by. the survey was that
sdme work needed to be done .
,on the pavillion, pier and.
boat slip to decrease the
likelihood of injury to per-
sons using the facilities.
The Commission has been
trying to secure a permit
from the Department of
Environmental Regulation
for the past year to re-build
the facilities with steel and
concrete, reducing the need
for maintenance. 'So far,
DER has refused to issue the
permit. The Commission is
still pursuing the permit and
has a conference scheduled
for some time next week with
state officials to discuss the
need and the environmental
safety of the city's plans.
White's report says the
present structure contains
some rotting boards, con-
crete scrap used as rip-rap in
the area which could be
dangerous and the need for
dredging the slip to remove
underwater hazards.
The dredging is the hold-up
for the state permit and
possibly the safety survey
will bear 'some weight in
getting it approved.,
Other areas which needed
attention were the installa-
tion of emergency lighting
fixtures at the Centennial
building. Clerk Farris said
the city had the lights, but
had been unable to get them
installed as yet. The report
called for needed improve-
ments in the building's wir-
ing to bring it up to the latest


national electrical code re-
quirements.
The building is 47 years old
and is in the process of being
remodeled on a piece-meal
basis by the Commission.

Home owners in Gulf County started
receiving their official notices this week
to once again file for homestead
exemption on their property for taxing
purposes.
Property Appraiser Kesley Colbert
said the notices bear the name of former
Property Appraiser Joyce Williams, but
says they are official just the same. "The
notices were prepared while she was still
in office", Colbert said, "and should be
considered as legal notice even though
the wrong name is signed on the notices,
as Property Appraiser".
Colbert said there may * be one
problem with the mailing this year.
"Since a different staff mailed, out the
notices, our present staff doesn't really"
know who the notices went to and who
they didn't. Some property owners were
bound to miss getting theirs. When you
mail this many notices, it's easy to miss a
few or double mail a few." Colbert said,

have received homestead exemption in


Work On

Sidewalk

Resumed

County road department
crews resumed work this
week on a project of building
a sidewalk in the Oak Grove
area to serve the approach to
the Port St. Joe High ,School.
The sidewalk approach to
the school was partially built
some few years ago, but
recently the county decided
to extend it to the Jackson
Street intersection with Niles
Road. Work was resumed
prior to Christmas but was
stopped again when the
Christmas holiday period ar-
rived.
This week, work was re-
sumed on the project.

The sidewalk is being built
in two projects. One portion
of the work will bring the
sidewalk from its present end
on the south side of Niles
Road, all the way to Second
Avenue, still on the south side
of Niles. The second section
of the project will extend the
walk all the way to the
Jackson Street intersection,
still on the south side of Niles
Road.

Property owners have until March 1 =
to file their homestead exemption with
the Property Appraiser's office, but if
there is any problem, they should begin
taking care of it immediately. "If a

March 1, the law prevents me from doing..
anything about it until the next year",
Colbert said.
Colbert said anyone living in their
own home the first day of 1985 is eligible
for homestead exemption, which allows
him a $25,000 exemption on his home for
taxing purposes.
"Filing for the ,exemption is not
automatic", colbert said. "It's some-
thing homeowners must do every year to
take advantage of the tax break. It is the
obligation of the property owner to take
care of this matter each and every year",
e Appraiser said.

Jail Citations Greet Sheriff On First Day In Office


Gulf County's new Sheriff, Al
Harrison, had no more than hung up
his hat and found out where his chair
was Wednesday, after being sworn
into office on Tuesday, before the
State's Department of Corrections
office was on his back about the
condition of Gulf County's Jail.
The jail has been one -of the
favorite reasons for the Department
of Corrections making forays into the
Panhandle for the past couple of years
and drew a nine point list of needs of
correction from the visit.
Joe Musgrave, inspector for the
DOC, said he was mainly interested in
* life-threatening needs at the jail, but
as long as they existed, he was going
to cite jail and 'the Sheriff's
Department for the 'small house-
cleaning type demerits also.
Life-threatening problems Mus-


grave especially cited at the jail was
the practice of allowing prisoners to
place things between the bars, such as
articles of clothing. "These can get in
the locks and make them inoperable,
possibly preventing the proper care of
a prisoner during times of emergen-
cy" he said. Another of the life-threa-
tening. problems was that fire and
safety standards have not been met in
the jail.
One of the main items of criticism
by the DOC inspectors was the
presence of naked electric wires in the
ceiling where prisoners had ripped
down light fixtures. "They had live
wires in them and drew considerable
attention from the inspectors", White
said.
Chief Deputy, Mike White told
The Star the primary problem here
was there was no emergency lighting


in the corridors of the jail to operate in
case of power failures. "The lights are
here, but they have not been installed
as yet", White said. "We found them
here on the premises and we'll get
them installed as soon as we can."
The first of nine specific charges
against the jail operation said -all
deficiencies in previous reports had
not yet been corrected. The Coux ty
Commission allocated and spent sohne
$20,000 during the last budget year] in
an attempt to correct some of the list
of problems with which DOC charged
the jail. The money was spent j in
installing a back entrance to the jail;
installing smoke detectors and an
electronic surveillance system, as well
as making some fire prevention
changes in the jail and kitchen areas.
But DOC still isn't satisfied. They
are still insisting, "There is no


correctional officer or staff member
on each floor of the facility at all
times". The jail has only one floor, but
the report insists there must be at
least one dispatcher and one -correc-
tional officer per shift on duty at all
times. In months past, this has been
interpreted as employment of at least
14 more people to comply with the
order.
"There is no way a small county
like Gulf County can come up with the
money to meet such a demand",
White said this week and the County
Commission and former Sheriff Ken
Murphy have said the same for the
past two years.
New Sheriff Al Harrison said,
"We're going to try to satisfy DOC's
demands and we feel if we clean the
area up and keep it clean, we can get a
clean bill of health".


Sheriff Harrison may be correct
in his supposition because two of the
charges made against the jail on the
latest inspection are for house-keep-
ing practices. The report cites the jail
for clutter and litter in areas of the
facility and dirty window sills. Chief
Deputy White said these have already
been corrected.
Sheriff Harrison said, "We're
going to keep the jail clean; we're
going to put a new type lighting
fixture in the cells to correct the
problem of continuous bad marks
when prisoners keep them broken out;
\;e're going to do something about
naked wires where they have torn
light fixtures out of the cells and we're
going to try and get along with DOC
with our jail's operation."
The Sheriff said corrections had
also been made against such small


complaints as having a written:
procedure posted for the handling of:
sensitive food items (highly perish-
able foods). "You put them in the
refrigerator or the freezer; everybody
knows that; but we have it spelled out
in written instructiontructions now", Harrison
said. The jail was also criticized for
not having proper forms on hand to;
file reports of attempted jail breaks.
"We have those forms now and they
will be filled out when the occasion
demands", Chief Deputy White said.
The Department of Corrections is
coming down hard on many jail
operations throughout the state, stir-
ring up attention for the safety and
operation of jails which hasn't been
there before. Their actions have been
very visible here and in neighboring
Bay County, even though both coun-
ties have relatively new jails.

Talking About How


to
Comedienne Joan Rivers has
made thousands and thousands of
dollars confidentially repeating the
short phrase, "Can we talk?" and
drew millions of belly laughs while
she was doing it.
Rivers has sort of made a
trademark out of the short question
and entertained those who would
listen to her talk.
Last week, Secretary of State
George Schultz and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko had the
:rapt attention of the world as they
tentatively asked each other the
same question. . . "Can we talk?"
While Rivers has captured the
attention of many people with her
statement of the question, she has
never held the world spellbound
with the outcome of the question
- such as Schultz and Gromyko did.
While the two foreign ministers
were exploring the question by
talking over whether the two super
powers could get together and talk
about whether or not they could
talk, the world held its breath. A
positive answer would ease world
nuclear fears and tensions. A
negative answer would continue
the anxiety and unrest experienced

nations. Would the United States
and Russia try to find a way to exist
with each other or would they hold
each other at bay with mighty
arsenals of missiles and nuclear
warheads?
Seldom has so much depended
on a simple "yes" or a simple
"no", We can talk or we can find no
reason to talk.,
It wasn't easy, deciding to talk.
It wasn't a matter of getting
together, shaking hands and asking
the question. It took seven hours
and 40 minutes..
It was only natural, we sup-
pose, that it took so long to agree to
talk. The subject to be talked about
is some pretty heavy subjects, like
working out an effective agree-
ment aimed at preventing an arms
race in space and terminating it on
Earth.
If it took seven hours and 40
minutes just to agree to talk, we
can see where the actual subject to
be talked about could last on into
the next generation. That's good;
maybe the next generation will
have more sense than this one and
they can reach a sensible agree-
ment.


lly Approved

One thing we hope is that in the
future the Commission will not
leave it up to anyone to file permits
for it without supervision. True,
when you pay a firm good money,
they should do the job they are paid
for. In the case of permits to
operate such things as landfill
sites, the situation is too important
to allow to progress _(or; not
progress) without regular monitor-
ing by the local bodies involved.

With luck, such a thing will
never happen again.


Keep An Eye On It


Again we have experienced a
,tremendous increase in construc-
Stion here in Gulf County.. Again we
-have experienced a large chunk of
.our wild and deserted beach and
Waterfront property being taken
';from the position of providing
:recreation for everyone and any-
one who wishes to use the property.
We now have people buying
that property at high prices and the
high prices are going to make the
new owners particular about let-
ting just anybody use the beaches


under their new status.
We can expect nothing more
than continued growth and more
private ownership of play lands we
formerly considered public lands.
There's no way we can stop it.
The land is under private owner-
ship and a land owner has the right
to sell, build on, or build a fence
around what he owns.
We can only get interested in
the growth and see that it is done
properly, to the protection of
everyone in the county.


Me and Ole George - Part II


By Kesley Colbert
"Hello ... anybody home.
." I shouted at what I
already knew was an empty
150 year old cabin. Well, this
entire trip was just about
bordering on the bizarre. I
kept thinking what am I do-
ing at Cades Cove in the
Smoky Mountains in the
dead of winter trying to
interview some of these
mountain folks that moved
out of this little cove over 50
years ago. ,
The fact that it was snow-.
ing like the dickens and my
buddy George was a'sitting
out in the car laughing be,
cause I was up here to "in-
terview" the local residents
didn't help my feelings at all;
As I reached for the wooden
latch on the door a few lines
from an old poem by Robert
Frost popped into my head.
The poem was entitled.
"Stoppping by the Woods bn
A Snowy Evening".
Boy, the cabin was small,
very small, and there was
only one room downstairs
and a small loft upstairs


where I'm sure the children
slept. The fireplace took up
most of one wall and I in-
stinctly moved toward it as if
it might still give off some
warmth. I had read that
John Oliver purchased the
land in 1826 and I'm sure he
built the pabin soon after-
wards. Even now I could see
his wife and 7 or 8 children
huddled around this very
fireplace laughing and talk-
ing. As I rubbed my hands'
together and moved closer to
the hearth I wondered what
they were laughing and talk-
ing about. You can bet your
hat and coat (and I wish that
I'd brought both on this trip)
they weren't talking about
the "A-Team".
Mr. Oliver had once been
to Boston and he was telling
the children about the city
and the ocean and the big
ships .. . only the oldest boy
had ever been out of the
mountains and if you looked
closely you could see the
wonder and the excitement
in the faces of the Oliver
children as they tried to im-


agine what an ocean looked
like. Mr. Oliver talked of his
early days growing up in Vir-
ginia and he reminded his
children how easy they had it
today compared to his early
life. "After all", he said,
"This is 1851." And as he
raised his hand to illustrate a
point you got a glimpse of
that rough palm and you
could see in that weathered
face that Mr. Oliver wasn't
just talking - he had lived it.
,Well, I, along with the
children, was a little disap-
pointed when Mrs. Oliver
said "John, it's almost
7:00." Bedtime. Shucks, I
could have listened all night
but I understood - they
couldn't waste the coal oil
sitting around making idle
talk. I was kind'a glad when
Mr. Oliver threw that big ole
back log on the fire 'cause I
could tell it was going to be a
cold night: Of course more
fires meant more ashes and
that was O.K. 'cause they
saved the ashes - used them
to make lye soap in the spr-
ing.


As I stepped back out onto
the porch I could see through
the snow the trees surround-
ing the house; and as I look-
ed across the front yard to
the hillside just beyond it, I
could see rocks scattered all
about and I realized that
within sight of that porch
was everything Mr. Oliver
needed to build that cabin. I
turned back and looked at
the cabin once more. The
logs had been hewn with a
broad axe and notched at the
ends so they fit perfectly
together. Mud had been used
to fill the cracks between the
logs. The stone chimney was
laid in mud mortar. I began
to turn an idea over in my
mind. The materials that
John Oliver used to build this
house were growing or lying
all around - could I have
built this house?
Suddenly, I raced back in-
side and searched the cabin
thoroughly - not one nail'
was to be found in the entire
building. Son-of-a-gun!
When I climbed back into
the car George asked, "What


Kesley Colbert
took so long?"
"Oh, I was visiting with
John Oliver - he sure is a
talker."
After that George didn't
say too much but he kept
-glancing over at me as he
drove.
We stopped at the Primi-
tive Baptist Church and the
Methodist Church and the
Missionary Baptist Church.
Three churches within a cou-
ple of miles of each other in
this small cove. To me, that
speaks volumes about the
kind of people who lived
here. I could close my eyes
and hear those bells a'ring-
ing on Sunday morning. And
I bet the preaching lasted all
day - I know it did at those
Baptist churches ....
And I found a small

New Fast Food Idea Should Make A Mint for Those Who Plunge


ONE OF THE BIGGEST phenom-
enons of the business world these days
is the impact the fast food business is
having in the American way of life.
There is a fast food purveyor on
practically every corner in most
every -medium small to large city in
America. All are dispensing the fast,
easy-to-fix food which can be served
up in just minutes to a public which is
onthe go.
Veteran restaurateurs shake their
heads in dis-belief when a fast food
Chain announces plans to locate in a
:given place. Doubts are- openly
expressed as to whether some towns
or locations can support one of the
-installations which definitely aren't
* cheap to build and get into operation.
I don't know who is buying all
those hamburgers, roast beef sand-
wiches, hot dogs, pizzas, tacos, etc.,
but almost every one of the food chain
:outlets seem to be doing 'a good
business.
AMERICANS MUST definitely be
eating more to keep all the' food
servers in business. They have their


following and there are those who
need to eat in a hurry and get on their
way again.
When I use a fast food outlet, it's
because of the last reason.


science.
Then, there are those who made
money on fast foods and never

I DIDN'T GET IN on thie ground
. I


couple of shares and silently stood by
and watched my investment (and
yours) fade away because of inactiv-
ity.
The reason I'm writing on this
subject this week is because I see an
interesting entry into the fast food
i industry which should set the world on
fire. It takes fast food to the epitome
of quick service and promises to be
the meal on the run of the future.


I'm talking about the new "Big
Smacks" which is getting a toe hold on
the eat and run crowd.
The new fast food fad is "Big
Smack" but it has a good reason for
carrying such a name in a country
where nick-names are all the rage.
The "Big Smack" is cooked or
prepared in the conventional way.
There's no secret about that. It can be
fried or flame grilled. It can be boiled
or roasted. It can be grilled or
poached.
When it comes to serving "Big
Smacks" up to customers, the method
is just a little different from the tried
and true method of fighting a crowd at
a small counter or window.
With the "Big Smack", the name
sort of describes the method in which
it is served.
According to what I read the "Big
Smack" is truly served on the run.
The product gets its name because it
is served by throwing it at your
windshield while you are driving down
the highway at 65 miles per hour. The
sound the product makes as it smacks


into your windshile is the inspiration
for the name of "Big Smacks".
That name took no expertise; no
remembered action and no interpreta-
tion of what the "Smack" sounds like
as it is delivered.
Slowing down to 65 to get delivery
on a "Big Smack" should cause
hardly any hardship at all. Most folks
slow down to at least 65 when they go
through a town anymore.
The "Smack" is recovered from
the windshield by the windshield
wiper pushing the "Smack" into
the reach of the driver.
With such appeal as delivery of
the "Big Smack" provides, it hardly
seems possible that the item could be
anything but a success.
I don't know how a "Smack" will
taste, but the delivery should be
unique enough to attract customers
from all over. If I can scrape together
an extra $10, I'm going to buy me a
share in "Big Smacks" if I can find
out who is selling the stock.
An opportunity like this doesn't
hit you in the face very often.

Stone Fruits Need Cold Weather Handy Is New


Special Varieties Developed for Mild Panhandle Winters


BY ROY LEE CARTER
County Extension Director
Peaches, nectarines, and
plums are called stone or
drupe fruits because they
consist of a seed enclosed in a
heavy pit or stone surround-
ed by soft flesh. Other stone
fruits such as apricots, al-
monds and cherries are not
well adapted to Florida and
should not be planted. My
information for this article
was provided by Extension's
Fruit and Nut Specialist, Dr.
Tim Crocker, of the Univer-
sity of Florida Institute of
Food and Agricultural Scien-
ces.
The fruit development oc-
curs in stages. During the
first stage, which starts
immediately after fruit set,
the stone or pit is soft and the
proportion of flesh to pit is
small. The second stage is a
transitional stage in which
the pit hardens. After the
stone hardens, the third
stage begins in which the
flesh develops rapidly and
the fruit diameter increases
correspondingly. This is of-
ten called the "final swell."
Peach, nectarine, and
plum trees often set fruit too
heavily, and some must be
removed or thinned to obtain
adequate fruit size. To obtain
maximum. effect, thinning


CARTER
must be done prior to pit
hardening or the second
stage of development- this
stage can be recognized by
the increased difficulty of
cutting through the pit with a
knife. When the knife first
encounters a resistance to
cutting through the seed, the
pit hardening stage has be-
gun.
Optimum soil moisture
condition is essential during
the final swell to increase
fruit size. Irrigation is neces-
sary during dry periods due
to the characteristic of shal-
low root systems of stone
fruits. Avoid frequent light
irrigation since this tends to
promote root development
near the soil surface. Apply
two inches of water at
intervals of 10 to 14 days


unless adequate rainfall oc-
curs.
Peach and nectarine trees
should make extensive ter-
minal growth each year,
which requires relatively
heavy annual pruning. On the
other hand, plums fruK. on
both long twigs and on very
short twigs called spurs..
Since there is less terminal
growth than for peaches,
correspondingly less pruning
is required. Fruit buds are
produced during the spring
and summer on current
season growth.
Stone fruit have a winter
"chilling" requirement. This
means trees must be.subject-
ed to periods of low tempera-
ture during the winter if they
are to bloom and grow
satisfactorily in the spring.
The required length of cold
periods depend on the culti-
var. Florida's mild winter
greatly restricts the number
of cultivars available. Only
those adapted to your area
should be considered.
Under Florida conditions,
stone fruits tend to bloom
soon after the chilling re-
quirement is satisfied. This,
coupled with the alternate
periods of warm and cold
weather in the late winter
and spring in Florida may
result in early bloom which is
frequently damaged by late


freezes. Since this is a
hazard, the warmest sites
should be reserved for stone
fruits.
To fertilize, apply about
one lb. of 10-10-10 fertilizer
per tree during May of the
first season after planting. In
late February of succeeding
years, apply about one lb. of-
10-10-10 for each year of age
of the tree until a maximum'
of 10 lbs: per tree is reached.'
In May of each year repeat"
the above recommendations-.
Recommended peach va-
rieties include Florida King,
June Gold, Spring Britel?
Spring Crest, Maygold, Rio
Grande, Suwanee and Sun-,
high. Recommended varie'-
ties of nectarines include.-
Armking, Sunfre, Sunrich;'
Sungold and Sunlite. All
peach and nectarine varie'-&
ties are self fertile.
Recommended phim vari&e
ties include Early Bruce;
Methley, Excelsior, Ozarki
Premier, Kelsey, and Mari,
posa. All these varieties'


require a pollinator except
Methley.

,'Dish-Gardening can be

to41l her listeners as she
pioented the program of the
January meeting of the Port
St--Joe Garden Club, held
January 10 (Thursday) at the
Garden Center on Eighth
Street. Mrs. Ashcraft, pre-
sently serving.as president of
the organization, is a young
woman of wide experience in
gardening and flower arran-
gements.
SMrs. AAhcraft began her
talk with a discussion of the
types of pots to use for dish
gardens and for woodland
gardens, and also the kinds of
oils and fertilizers to use for
different plants. One of the
high points of her discussion
was, to warn gardeners
against overwatering. She
sod that containers should

be at least one and one half
inches deep, and that two
inches would be preferable.
To demonstrate what she
had been saying, Mrs. Ash-
craft built a lovely dish
garden. Using a very attrac-
tive clay pot, she added the
correct soils and fillers, plus
fertilizer, and .a number of..
lovely, .plants, explaining /
each step as she placed them
in the pot. When satisfied
with the arrangement, she
surrounded the plants with
sheet-moss, packing it tightly
around them. She then added
gravel, which she said was
very important to the life and
beauty of the plants. Her last
admonition was a repetition
of her earlier caution, "Don't
over-water."

Retired Sea Capt. Tells


of Maritime Adventures


John Sealy, retired sea
captain, told the Kiwanis
Club some of his adventures
and of his time spent in the
maritime service Tuesday at
their regular meeting.
- Sealy recently retired after
40 years at sea, which started
when he was only 14 years of
age. "It was during World
War II and I was 14 years of
age and in the eighth grade
when I caught a tugboat at
midnight at the canal at
White City and went to sea",
Sealy said. While he said he
had since regretted quitting
school, he has long since
made up for it by attending
school and special classes for
much of his life.
Sealy spent only a short
while on the tugboat before
he went with the Army
Transportation Service and

Steadman Shealy, former
quarterback for the Univer-
sity of Alabama football
team will be the guest
preacher at First United
Methodist Church for the
morning worship service this
Sunday, January 20, at 11:00
A.M.
Mr. Shealy was the quar-
terback on two National
Championship teams in 1978
and 1979. He was chosen as
one of the five top athletes in
the country in 1979, when he
was also chosen to the
All-Southeastern Conference


served on transport ships
throughout the war. After his
stint with the Army Trans-
portation Service, he went to
work for Gulf Oil Corporation
and sailed mostly on tankers
for the remainder of his
career. "I sailed on the
smallest and the largest
tankers afloat and went from
apprentice seaman to Master
of the ship during that time".
Sealy said shortly before he
retired, he was master of a
tanker which had 10 tanks on
board, each holding more
than 80,000 barrels of oil.
"One tank'in this tanker held
more oil than the full load on
the first tanker I ever served
on", he said. The tanker was
so large it could only go into
drydock in two places in the
world.' The closest it could
get to the United States in the


football team. He was an
academic All-American in
1979 and served as Assistant
Coach at the University of
Alabama from 1980-1984.
Steadman Shealy is now an
attorney with Buntin and
Cobb Law Firm in Dothan,
Alabama.
The local Port St. Joe
Fellowship of Christian Ath-
letes high school members
will participate in the wor-
ship service. Everyone 'is
invited to this service to hear
Mr. Shealy share his Chris-
tian witness.


flu


Gulf of Mexico was at a port
near the Republic of Pana-
ma. The giant vessel drew
80 feet of water loaded.
More recently, Sealy said
he commanded vessels which
shipped nuclear power plants
throughout much of the
world. "We had the entire
plant on board from the lock
on the door to the fuel rods
which went into-the reactor".
Sealy said the ships which
handled the nuclear power
plant components were ppe-
cially equipped because" the
components for the plants
were so heavy they couldn't
be managed in conventional
ships. He said the firm he
was working for had two such
ships at the time he was
making the trips.
Sealy said one thing he
learned during his 40 years of
travel, and that was there
was no nation in the entire
world as good as the United
States of America. "In spite
of all its faults, it's still the
best place to live in the
world."
Guests of the club were
Arnold Kuhlman and Mike
McDonald and Key Clubbers
Lisa Wright, Sandy Ward,
Jim Norton and Tommy
Ford.

WHY ALL THE Ia
NEW REGULATIONS
Not very many years ago the laws controlling the
Sale of medicines were pretty strict. Even such
products as aspirin could not be sold except in a
pharmacy and then only by a registered pharmacist. *
When these legal barriers were broken down, we fast
became what the experts now call a "pill taking, drug
oriented society."
W It has reached such drastic proportions that now it
has become necessary to try and put the brakes on
with new regulations and laws. Frankly, we thought
0 the public had their needs served better when
medicines were only sold by people with training and
knowledge of drugs.
"A GREAT MANY PEOPLE ENTRUST US
with their prescriptions, health needs and other
pharmacy products. We consider this trust a
privilege and a duty. May we be your personal
family pharmacy?"

Defeat Wakulla War Eagles and Rutherford Rams


St. Joel

PORT ST. JOE, 83, WAKULLA, 79
Josh Jenkins capped a night of
producing 17 points with a booming
slam-dunk at the final buzzer to give the
Sharks an 83-79 win over a tough and
stubborn Wakulla War Eagle team here in
the R. Marion Craig Coliseum last Friday
night.
Jenkins wasn't the only Shark which
held the Sharks on top of the score for the
better part of the game. Veteran Durey
Cadwell pumped in 10 big field goals and
three free shots for a team high 23 points for
the night. Michael Pittman was right behind
with 22 big points and Doug Robinson added
11.
The Sharks were still a little shaky
under pressure Friday night, reflecting
their late start while other teams were
getting experience under their belt. For
instance, the Sharks had as much as a 14
point lead in the second period, but the War
Eagles buckled down and removed eight


Jps Rec(

points of that lead by the half time period.
In the third period, the War Eagles
erased some more of the Shark lead, down to
only one point by the end of the third period.
In the last period, the lead changed hands.
time and again until the Sharks went into the
final minute with a three point lead on the
shooting of Cadwell, Jenkins and Pittman.
With seen seconds left, and the score now
at 79-77;(Sharks, Demetre Thomas hit both
ends of afoul shot to put the Sharks up 81-77.
Then, on a fast break, Wakulla's Franklin
hit a lay-up with only two seconds remaining
on the clock ,and the score 81-79. The Sharks
inbounded the ball under pressure, got it
quickly to Jenkins who went up for his slam
dunk to put the game out of reach of the War
Eagles..
Dana Mills led both teams in scoring with
his 25 points. Coach Jim Belin said, "He just
shot the eyes. out of the basket all night
long."
Belin said, "We're still rusty. We gave
up that 14 point lead, but our guys just kept
coming back and put forth that effort it took '*
to win this one. Wakulla is one of the
toughest teams in the' Panhandle this year.
They're ranked eighth in the state. We had
to work for this one."
. Belin said, "Lack of practice with
fundamentals like. passing hurt us -in the
third period, but we're making improve-
ments and we'll get better as the season
goes on."


)rd with 2 Wins


. The win put the Sharks at 4-2 for. the
season.
Wakulla is now 8-2.
Robinson and Cadwell each gathered in
11 rebounds, as they kept the Sharks alive on
the boards.

SHARKS 91, RUTHERFORD, 65
Tuesday night, the Sharks were ex-
tremely hot in shooting the basketball and
completely dominated a good Rutherford
team who could do nothing about it.
Doug Robinson led the Sharks with 14
rebounds as they completely cleaned the
backboards every time a shot went up.


Josh Jenkins goes
up for a slam dunk as
he makes the final
two points of the
game against the
War Eagles.


In m mluI


Durey Cadwell paced a quartet of Sharks
who scored in double figures as the Sharks
scored on nearly all of their opportunities to
put the ball up.
Jumping off to a big 10 point margin in
the first period, the Sharks continued to
dominate the game as their sizzling shooting
put them so far ahead, the Rams just
couldn't do anything about it. The Sharks
out-scored the Rams in every period except
the last, when the Rams had a three point
margin.
With Cadwell leading the way with his 18
points, Josh Jenkins put 17 points on the
scoreboard, Robinson had 14 to go along
with his 14 rebounds and Michael Pittman,
the leading Shark scorer in a close game
added 12.
Darryl Hewitt led the Rams with 23
points.
Coach Jim Belin said, "We were
extremely hot tonight. We couldn't miss.
When you match this with the. fact that
Rutherford was extremely cold and got so
far behind they just couldn't catch up, you
have a situation in which all our team gets to
play."
Belin predicted the game Friday night
with Blountstown "will be a close one.
Anytime Blountstown walks onto the court
with Port St. Joe, it's going to be a good
game. They can be losing every game of the
season, but they will play us well." _#
Belin went on to point out, "They're on a
sort of a roll just like we are. We've both won
three in a row, now, so it should be a real
shoot-out Friday night."

Those Over 70 Make A


Drastic Impact on Care


Joe Allen, administrator of
Gulf Pines Hospital told
Rotarians last Thursday,
that while medical costs are
regrettably going up and up,
there, have been some posi-
tive strides made in medical
care, also.
"When was the last time
you, ever heard of anyone
having diphtheria or polio or
any number of once common
diseases?" Allen asked. He
said that while medical care
has exceeded the limits of
affordability, it has also
ridded us of some of the most
feared maladies of history
within the past few years.
With the advent of health
insurance in the 1930's,
health care began to grow in
sophistication "because oth-
ers were helping to pay for
those hospital bills and those
doctor bills". The payment of
medical bills was spread out
over a large segment ot
people with the continued
popularity of the health in-
surance.
Allen said the growth in
care of senior citizens and
changes in Medicare pay-
ments by the Government
will also make some changes
in medical care services.
"The fastest growing age
group in America today is
that segment of the popula-
tion over 70 years of age.


They will have a drastic
impact on our medical care
as well as on other segments
of society," he said.
Allen said the Medicare
program had encouraged ex-
pansion of medical facilities.
"Medicare was paid on the
cost of procedures in the past
and encouraged expansion of
medical treatment to the
point of sophistication it is
today. With the reduction in
Medicare payments, we pre-
dict there will be more
changes in the future." Allen
said hospitals will be paid in
the future on a flat fee for a
specific illness. "If it costs
more to treat the patient than
what Medicare allows, the
hospital has to eat the
overage" Allen said.
Allen said the high costs
have resulted in sky-rocket-
ing expenses, especially in
the area of mal-practice


insurance. He pointed out
that the mal-practice insur-
ance rate is making it
difficult for Gulf Pines to
attract a surgeon to Port St.
Joe and is the main reason
local doctors have quit doing
surgery.

School Drama Club Performs

The Chi Drama Club, - * ,'.
which is sponsored by Mrs.
Margaret Biggs, recently
performed a play in front of .
the student body. The play '-
was entitled "Ye Olde Toy
Shoppe", and was a choral
play that was worked around - - .
Christmas carols sung by
Mrs. Alisa Walker's chorus
classes.
The illusion of the play was
that toys were able to come
to Ilfe once a year and act as
humans. The climax of the
play after the "toys" were all
alive was a story of the true
meaning of Christmas, and
left one with a feeling of what
-Christmas was all about. ,. ..- . *-.
Special thanks go out to Mrs.

PAGE EIGHT lTHE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. - THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 1985


The Democratic Caucus has
!selected committee chairmen for
the 99th Congress which con-
vened on January 3. Three com-
mittees changed hands. The
Caucus voted to replace Con-
gressman Melvin Price as Chair-
man of the House Armed
Services Committee and
selected Congressman Les
Aspin of Wisconsin as the new
chairman. I have the utmost
respect for Congressman Aspin
and I am sure he will make an
excellent chairman. I was disap-
pointed, however, that the
Caucus did not select Con-
gressman Charles E. Bennett of
Jacksonville as head of Armed
Services. Congressman Bennett
has served Florida, extremely
well for many years and he

EYE MOVEMENTS
Many bright students with
good comprehension skills
are slow readers. This slow
rate of reading may be caus-
ed by inefficient eye move-
ments, but may also be caus-
ed by psychological and
social interference.
When inefficient eye
movements are to blame,
the reader spends too much
time looking at each and
every word (excessive fix-
ation) and too often goes
back over what he or she has
already read (excessive re-
gression).
Inefficient eye movements
rarely interfere when the
volume of required reading
is light. When the volume of
required reading increases
in the upper grades and in
college, the problems not on-
ly causes slow reading, but
frustrates the serious stu-
dent. Examinations are in-
complete; homework is neg-
lected; grades fall. Reading
becomes a chore instead of a
positive experience.
: A thorough eye examina-
.ion can help determine if in-
efficient eye movements are
the cause of reading pro-
blems.

of Pennsylvania was chosen as

gressman Gray has a well-
deserved reputation as a con-

I am sure he will do a fine job.
The only other change in
