Dredge Delay Rejected



Childers Asks for Another Spoil Site: Study of Bay


Robert Nedley rebuts claims by Wayne Childers while
Dave Maddox waits his turn to speak. -Star photo


It appeared as if Gulf County was going to get
maintenance dredging performed on the entrance to its
harbor with little or no fanfare this time. Five years ago,
local interests had to sqeeze out a permit in a period of just
over a year in order to get the maintenance work done.
Wayne Childers, Gulf County chairman of the park
planning commission, reminded interested parties of that
marathon quest for a permit five years ago, when he told
the County Commission Tuesday the county shouldn't allow
the dredging until two questions were answered. Childers
would have the County oppose placing the dredge spoil back
into the bay waters and would delay dredging until an
alternate site could be located. Secondly, he would have the
county ask for a study to see what effect such dredge and
spoil action is having on-the Bay.
Childers cited reports filed by the Corps of Engineers
when the dredging permit was issued back in 1980 as a basis
for his opinion that the fill was harmful to the bay and its*
marine life.
The Corps was finally given a permit to place spoil from
the harbor entrance dredging in the spot known locally as
the "Shark Hole". The spoil area is directly adjacent to the
spot to be dredged. The permit was given .only after
exhaustive studies were made by DER and DNR at the'
time.
Childers, in his claim the dredging method was causing
turbidity in the Bay, said it may be decreasing the seafood
.harvest in the 'bay and suggested the county needs: to
request a thorough study "to see what's happening."
Robert Nedley, a Vice-President for St. Joe Paper


Company, then took the floor telling the 'Commission,
"There have already been several studies made of the bay.
Florida Power Corporation made intensive studies of the
bay just a few years ago. The City of Port St. Joe keeps
weekly records.about what is happening in the bay to a
degree to satisfy DER. If there was any sort of danger from
this dredging plan, DER would have denied the Corps a
permit long ago."
Nedley said the county didn't need the problem it had
five years ago with getting dredging done. "Every agency
involved in the bay has.their reasons why spoil shouldn't be
placed here or there. None of these agencies stopped this
permit," Nedley said. His argument was that.it must be a
safe operation, since no objections were forthcoming.
Dave Maddox, local harbor pilot, took the floor to
repudiate some of Childer's statements. Childers had said
the currents in the bay travelled in a counterclockwise
direction, carrying silt back to the southern 'portion of the
bay and settled over an area which is an incubator for
seafood reproduction. Maddox said the currents run in the
opposite direction to, Childer's claim. "They are what
causes' part of the problem with trying to bring a ship
through: that narrow 'pass", .he said. He also offered the
opinion that fishing was better in the bay than at any time in
recent history. "Captain Carl Raffield told me they made
the largest mullet strike in St. de Bay this year that at any
time in the past. Shrimp boats can be seen in the bay now by
the dozens, rather than just now and then".
,Maddox said the Hess Oil Terminal operation was
making plans to re-open again if the channel could be


opened where fully loaded tankers could get into the dock.
"This could mean a lot, if we're needing new jobs as bad as
you say we are".
Maddox 'said the channel has to be opened if there is to
be a safe operation in and out of this harbor. "We can't
delay now and wait for studies which have been done over

When It Comes to Filing Returns We'd Like A Return to


"Good Ole Days


PRESIDENT REAGAN spent his
birthday last week talking to us about
how strong, great and fair our nation
was and about how we could expect
even better things in the future.
President Reagan is always talk-
ing about the future, like we all had
plenty of it. That seems kind of odd to
me for a man who celebrated his 74th
birthday last Wednesday to be talking
about,the future when he evidently
-doesn't have quite as much of it as he
once had.
As a matter of fact, President

-Reagan's future is about as shaky as
-our nation's balance of trade situa-
tion. Still, both are moving along and
:seem to be strong at the moment.
I have to admire the President for
*being so confident there is a long-term
future for him, in spite of his 74 years.

ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T hear all of
Athe President's speech, I heard that
part of it where he advocated some
.type tax reform which would make it
easier for tax payers to fill out the
forms which took their money and
sent it to Washington.
Mr. Reagan said it was just too
much to expect for the government to
take the huge sums of money they
extract from the taxpayer and make


What I have problems with is the
kind of tax reform we're going to get.
In the past, every time we get a tax
reform, it winds up costing all of us
more money.
+ ++++
I DON'T REALLY know .how
serious the President is about this
business of making tax returns easier
to fill out. He seemed sincere enough
when he said it on TV. He even jutted


his jaw and tossed his head back when
he said it as if to emphasize the fact he
would see about getting that thing
done tomorrow.
If President Reagan is real
interested in getting the tax return
back into the hands of the little people
and fixing it where all us ignoramuses
can fill out the return, I can help him
out.
I just happen to have a copy of the
1913 income tax form, which was easy
to fill out and which called for a tax
rate hardly any of us would mind
paying.
Someone said 1913 was the first
year to pay income taxes! If it was,
things have certainly gone to pot since
that time. The forms have gotten
harder and harder to fill out and the
tax rate has risen higher and higher.
All of this was done by sessions of
Congress and presidents, interested in
simplifying tax forms and "reform-
ing" tax laws.
I'm not one to look wistfully at the
"good old days" since I think the
present day in which Wee live is the
best day man has ever had. But, in the


world of taxes, I have to join in the
throng which longingly recalls the
good old days.
In this 1913 tax return I have, the
tax payer had to fill out three lines of
information. There was one line for
gross income, one'for general deduc-
tions and one for net income. Then a
table showed how much tax the tax
payer owed.
If a tax payer was single, he had a
deduction of $3,000. If the tax payer
was married, he had a $4,000
deduction. Remember, this was in the
day when the average person prob-
ably didn't make $2,000 a year.
Then, the tax payer computed his
taxes at the rate of one percent on non
exempt income up to $20,000 a year.
The amount graduated to a rate of six
percent if a person made over $500,000
a year.
If President Reagan is really
serious about simplifying the tax form
and giving us some tax relief, all he
needs to do is go back to the 1913 rate
and filing form.
It'll settle everything except the
national debt.

MAN OF THE YEAR
Attorney Fred Witten revealed
the selection to receive the Man of the
Year award from the Chamber as
Rev. J. C. Odum, retired pastor of the
Long Avenue Baptist Church.
Rev. Odum, who had been lured to
the meeting to give the Invocation for
the dinner, was sitting at the head
table and registered shocked surprise
when Witten announced his name as
the nominee.
Witten described Rev. Odum as
having six. qualities which he had
exercised during his more than 30
years of service to the people of this
area.
He defined the minister's life as
one of sincerity, personal integrity,
humility, courtesy, wisdom and char-
ity. "By that standard I know of no
one more successful than the Gulf
County Citizen of the Year for 1984",
Witten said.
Odum came to Port St. Joe in 1953
from Louisiana, where he had just

RUNNELLS SPEAKER
Davage J. Runnels, Jr., a Destin
real estate broker and new president-
of the Northwest Florida Water
Management District, was the featur-.
ed speaker for the evening.
Runnels warned his audience that
waterfront property was going to
increase in value and demand and
suggested that Gulf County be pre-
pared to preserve the qualities which
are bringing people here by working
for a balance between developers'
interests and ecological protection.
"The only way you will be able to
protect your environment is to do
some proper zoning and planning now
and not wait until the aesthetics of the
area are ruined", the speaker said.

of Port Our message and our ob
orarily jective are basic: We wan
ninium consumers to know how t
buy insurance without get
ort St. ting burned.

i. The six remaining service offi

Those of you who would

ask yourself this question:
How well did you protect
yourself from consume

F .. If you're like most Floridi

what coverage you need.
And for most of you, th

r paid it.
Unfortunately, there al-
- ways will be somebody wait-
e ing to take advantage of an
- unsuspecting buyer. But, in
o most cases, these disasters
t can be prevented if consum-
o ers follow seven simple in-
r surance-buying tips:
Always ask to see an
- agent's insurance license.
It Never purchase insurance
o from anyone who can't prove
t- he or she is licensed to sell it.
Always get your agent's
n business card. Your agent's
n responsibility doesn't end
r with the sale.
i- Don't allow yourself to be
n pressured into buying in-
- surance. If an agent tells you
n the company is running a
one-day-only special, don't
e believe it.
r Comparison shop for insur-
r ance. It's possible to save a
f few dollars or more than $100
r just by choosing one com-
n pany instead of another.
Always make your check
d out to the insurance company
e issuing the policy. Never
d make a check payable to the
individual agent or agency.
t Ask your agent to go over
r your bill item by item,
u explaining which items are
required and which are op-
i- tional.
y Read your policy carefully.
r Know what you're covered
u for and what you can expect
to get from your policy.
e Finally, if you think you've
r been cheated, or if you are
- having trouble getting your
e insurance company to pay a
r- claim, or if you're having any
s other insurance-related prob-
lem, remember to call the
e Insurance Department.
u In addition, the Insurance
k Department publishes a
It number of insurance shop-
r- ping guides, which are up-
e dated annually. We offer
guides to purchasing life,
-. health, automobile, Medi-
a care supplement, homeown-
l- ers, condominium and mo-
y bile home insurance. All are
h free, and you can get yours
a by writing: Insurance Comn-

- reau of Consumer Research

e .,insurance is a complex
r-O subject and consumers can't
y be expected to know all there
o is to know about it. But if you
al follow these basic guidelines,
s- ask plenty of questions and
n contact the Insurance De-
p apartment with any problems,
't you'll be well-protected from

to help customers make a
smooth transition after the
February 17 Postal Rate
change.
Postmaster Robert Oliver
says, that the nondenomi-
nated "D" stamps in sheet,
coil and booklet formats
represent the new 22-ceht
First Class rate. There are
also nondenominated Postal
Cards and plenty of two-cent
stamps that, when added to
20-cent stamps, make up the
new First Class Letter Rate.
"Nobody likes to see higher
postal rates, but this increase
is moderate and justified,"
Postmaster Oliver said.
"Since the last' increase in
November 1981, the cost of


living in the United States, as
measured by the Consumer
Price Index, has gone up
almost 13 percent. The 22-
cent stamp is only a 10
percent rise."
"The nondenominated
items are available because
we estimate that stamp
inventories in Post Offices at
present will fall short of
public demand and, we want
to avoid customer inconveni-
ence," he said.
Commemorative Stamps,
beginning with the Jerome
Kern stamp, and other 22-
cent stamps, are expected to
replace the "D" stamps by
the end of March, the Post-
master said.

Sthe Elderly


Are you 60 years of age or.
older, homebound, and living
alone? Do you sometimes
wonder how long you might
lie there until someone found
you if you happened to fall or
had a sudden severe illness?
Do you sometimes just feel
lonely and wish someone
would call or come to see
you? Does your family
worry about you and feel that
they have to call you long
distance every few. days to
see if you are all right? Do
you know someone, a friend
or a relative, who fits that
description? The Gulf County
Senior Citizens Association,
Inc. has some programs that
can help you. A private,
non-profit agency, the Asso-
ciation has operated over the
past eight years to give a
wide variety of services to
Gulf County's older citizens.
Many of you already know of
our home delivered meals
program (also called Meals
on Wheels) and also of our
congregate meals which are
served five days each week.
at our Senior Centers in
Wewahitchka and Port St.


Senior citizens throughout
our county will soon have an,
opportunity to express their
viewpoints on some very
important issues. The Area
Agency on Aging for North
Florida will be joining our
own Senior Center to conduct
a survey on the needs and
opinions of older persons.

Joe. These and all of our
other services have the goals
of increasing your quality of
life and of helping you
remain in your own home as
comfortably and safely as
possible.
Two of our new programs
may be for you. One is
Telephone Reassurance
where a trained volunteer
can call you daily at a
prearranged time to see that
you are O.K. and to chat for a
few minutes if you wish. If
you don't answer your tele-
phone within a set length of
time your caller will put in
action an emergency plan the.
two of you have set up in
advance. If you don't have a
telephone our program will
arrange to have a Sheriff's
deputy or some other au-
thorized person stop by fre-
quently to check with you.
The second is a Companion
Program. You may already
have a telephone arrange-
ment with someone; but
would like to have someone
visit you once a week or so to
read to you, help you write
letters, play a game, or just


homes of senior citizens, and
at the senior center. All
interviewers will carry iden-
tification cards, and their
identities can be verified
through the Senior Center.
County residents .over the
age of 60 are encouraged to
take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to offer their ideas and
opinions. Please call the
Senior Center at 229-8466 to

Sharks Ranked 10th In State




Defeat Vernon 68-61


Port St. Joe's Sharks were
ranked in state 2-A's top ten
teams for the first time this
season this week.
After knocking off such
basketball giants of the Pan-
handle as Vernon, Malone,
Wakulla and losing to Grand
Ridge by only two points, the
Sharks finally gained the
attention of state-wide sports
prognosticators.
The Sharks have had an
iron-man schedule for the
past two, weeks, playing
seven games against top-
notch competition, winning
-every game. Just this past
week, the Sharks continued
their torrid pace, as the
season is on the downhill
grade.
PSJ, 68; VERNON, 61
Port St, Joe's Sharks put
the Vernon Yellow. Jackets
five points in the hole in the
first period Friday night and
kept them there, to win the
return match with the Jack-
ets.
The Sharks lost their first
regular season game against
the Jackets in Vernon and
have lost only to Grand Ridge

sinc:.
With the Yellow Jackets
making a run for it in the last
minute and a half of the
game, the Sharks salted
away the victory with both
ends of a free throw by
Demetre Thomas, then a free
throw point by Chris Butts
with 27 seconds left on the
clock. Robert Davis tried to
keep the Jackets alive with 18
seconds left, when Thomas
fouled him. Davis missed
.both attempts, leaving the
final score at 68-61.
The Sharks scored 20
points in the final period to
preserve their margin, in the
game. Durey Cadwell had
eight free throw points in the
final stanza, within the last
four minutes of the game.
Cadwell had the high-
scoring mark for the Sharks
with 25 points. Michael Pitt-
man and Dexter Baxter were
the only other Sharks scoring
in double figures with II and
10 points respectively.
Three Jackets were double
figure scorers with Sean
Green leading the pack with
12.'
The Sharks had a 32-26 lead
at half time.
The game was an emotion-
packed contest with three
Jackets fouling out in the
final two minutes. Marcus

Bland showed the tenseness
of the evening when he took a
swing at Midhael Pittman in
the final quarter when Pitt-
man stole the ball from him.
The swing earned the Sharks
an extra point from a techni-
cal foul and ended the game
for Bland.

Saturday night was an-
other tense game for the
Sharks, which saw the Port
St. Joe squad do almost the
impossible beat Malone in
Malone.
The Sharks trailed by just
a few points for the entire
game, trailing by their larg-
est margin of the game, 39-34.
at the half timepe~riod.
Port St. Joe's first tie in the
game came with only 18
seconds left on the clock and
Demetre Thomas tied the
score 'at 67-67 with a lay-up.
When Malone in-bounded
the ball, the Malone player
stepped on the boundary line,
turning the ball back over tb
the Sharks. The Sharks then
killed 17 seconds on the clock
and Michael Pittman drove
for the basket, passing the
ball off to Dexter Baxter who
made the lay-up, putting the
Sharks ahead by two points.
Malone didn't give up, even
though there was only one
second remaining on the
clock. Inbounding the ball theta
entire length of the court, a
Malone player went for the
shot and the ball bounced off
the rim as the final buzzer
was sounding.
Durey Cadwell had a big 22
points to pace the Shark
scoring and Michael Pittman
-was only a hair. behind with.
21 points.
Forrest paced the Tigers
with 22 points.

CARTER


probably be anxious to do
something for your suffering
plants. One of the first things
you may think of is taking out
the pruning shears and cut-
ting out the dead or dying
leaves and branches. Well,


this really isn't such a good
idea. With many landscape
ornamentals, you can't tell
how much damage has been
done until the plant starts
new growth in the spring. My
information for this article,
was provided by Extension
Horticulturist Dr. Robert J.
Black, with IFAS of the
University of Florida.
With some of the more
tender landscape plants,
you'll find the cold has killed
everything above the soil
line. But many of these
plants may surprise you and
be sending up new shoots
come springtime. So don't
give up on them until warmer
weather arrives.
With azaleas the cold will
usually damage flower buds
and stems. You'll notice the


bud damage for sure at
blooming time when your
plant produces few or no
flowers. The stem damage
will usually show up later in
the spring and early summer
when some of the branches
die.
Dead wood will easily be
distinguishable from live
wood when new growth be-
gins in the spring. This will
be the time to bring out the
pruning shears and cut dead
branches as you find them.
Make clean cuts back to
living wood. This means the
cut surface should have a
smooth surface,, not a rough
one that looks as if the tissue
has been torn or pulled. Care
should be taken not to injure
the plant around the cut, or
rip or tear the bark above or


below the cut. The combium
layer, a thin layer of cells
just below the bark which is
important in wound healing,
is easily injured. Do not twist
or turn the shears as you cut
because you will injure the
plant as well as your shears.
Painting the wounds with
tree wound dressing has
lately become a controversi-
al practice. The standard
recommendation has been to
paint all wounds over one
inch in diameter with a
quality tree wound dressing
to protect the cut surface
from wood-rotting organisms
and check radial cracking
upon drying. Some research
has shown that upon expo-
sure to the sun, the protective
coating often cracks, and
moisture enters the cracks

Statue of Liberty."
"The Statue of Liberty"
, The Statue of Liberty is a
symbol to all Americans of
freedom, hope, and courage.
Her torch has lit the pathway
to freedom for immigrants of
all nations.
The Statue of Liberty was a
gift of friendship from
France. The French people
raised 250,000 dollars to help
build the statue. Fredrick
Bartholdi, born on August 2,
.1834, first thought of and
designed the Statue .of Li-
berty. Bartholdi with the help
of Gustave Eiffel, supervised
the building of the monu-
ment. When it was com-
pleted, it was shipped in two
hundred fourteen cases to its
final destination. In 1885, it
was presented to the United
States by France.
The dedication day was
October 28, 1886. The Presi-
dent at the time was Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland. Sena-
tor William T. Evarts unveil-
ed the Statue of Liberty
"Give me your tired, your
poor, your hungry, your
huddled masses yearning to
breathe free." This inscrip-
tion on the statue's base is
from a poem by Emma
Lazarus. These words have
become well known through-
out the world. Their meaning
has given hope to millions of
people in suppressed nations.
The Statue of Liberty's
structure is unique. Her
waist is thirty-five feet thick.
Her right arm is twelve feet
high. Her hand is sixteen
feet, five inches long. Her
fingers are eight feet long


ilHistory
and her nose is four feet six
inches long. Her mouth is
three feet in width and her
eyes are two feet iipch IM
width, she weighs 225 tons
which is 450,000 pounds. She
is one hundred fifty-one feet
one inch high. She has a
spiral staircase which has
168 steps from the top of the
pedistal to the head of the
statue. The Statue of Liberty
is mostly made of copper
sheets.
For almost one hundred
years, the Statue of Liberty
has been in America. The
Statue of Liberty is Am-
erica's most important sym-
bol of freedom. It will take
two hundred thirty million
dollars to rebuild her. All the
money must come from
private donations. The
French people paid for its
creation in 1884. Surely, we
can raise the money to
rebuild her. The Torch of
Liberty is everyone's to
cherish. Let's keep her torch
lit.

and accumulates in the
pockets that may occur.
However, in situations where
aesthetics are important, the
practice is justified. If a
pruning wound is to be
protected, allow it to dry
before applying the dressing.
This will improve chances of
good bonding. Examine the
coating several times the


first year. Re-treat if the
coating has cracked.
If you lose one or two of
your tender ornamentals,
don't despair. Now you have
the opportunity to add some-
thing new to your landscape.
With hundreds of plants to
choose from and mild weath-

could complain?

Mrs. Ralph Nance Tells Rotarians About Uruguay


Mrs. Ruth Nance gave the
Rotary Club a very interest-
ing program on her recent
visit to the country of Uru-
guay (which she said is


correctly pronounced 000-
ROO-GWEYE), last Thurs-
day at their regular noon
meeting.
Mrs. Nance spent a little


Oysters


Agreement Revealed fo

Management of State's


The Marine Fisheries Com-
mission acted upon proposed
recommendations for man-
agement of Florida's valu-
able oyster resources and
Apalachicola Bay, and held
final public hearings on rule
proposals for grouper, snap-
per, and queen conch during
public meetings last week in
Pensacola. The Commission
also considered possible
measures to regulate the
state's overharvested redfish
and seatrout fisheries, modi-
fied a rule proposal for stone
crabs, clarified language and
approved rule drafts for
cobia, scallops, and spear-
fishing, approved a rule
proposal that would prohibit
the use of nets in Weekley
and Herron Bayous in Es-.
cambia County, and agreed
to explore possible measures
to help southeast Florida
king mackerel fishermen.
The Commission voted to
retain the three inch size
limit for oysters and the 15
percent tolerance on under-
sized oysters, but restricted
applications of the tolerance
to oysters between two and a
half to three inches. To aid
enforcement, the Commis-
sion agreed to adopt defini-
tions for unculled oysters,
prohibit. placing oysters in
bags while at sea, and extend
the enforcement of size limits
into the shellfish houses. The
Commission further ap-
proved modifications in
areas defined as open for
harvesting in summer and
'winter for Apalachicola Bay,
and voted to change the
statewide season from Sep-
tember 1 through May 31 to
October 1 through June 30,
and the Apalachicola Bay
summer season from June 1
through October 1 to July 1
through September 30. The
Commission also voted to
reduce recreational bag
limits from four bags per
person per day to one bag per
person per day and to
support the formation by the
Governor of a management
committee for Apalachicola
Bay to help protect this
marine system.
The Commission's rule for
snapper and grouper, expect-
ed to reach the Governor and
Cabinet for final approval in
March, passed with some
changes, including the addi-
tion of mutton snapper to the
12 inch minimum size limit
set for red and yellowtail
snapper, the deletion of lane,
yelloweye, and vermillion
(or beliner) snapper from the
daily bag limit of 10 snapper

there, Mrs. Nance was given
a tour of much of South
America by her brother to
Argentina, Peru, Chile and
much of Uruguay.

"The people there consider
themselves Americans .
South Americans: and we're
North Americans", Mrs.
Nance said. "We're really.
lucky in North America. Our
continent was settled at
about the same time as
South America. We were
settled by the British who
were wanting to found colo-
nies while South America
was settled by the Spanish
who were after treasure. As a
consequence, we got the
benefit of the British culture
and laws while the South
Americans were exploited by
the Spanish for their precious
metals and stones."

Uruguay became a nation'
in 1843, two years after the
state of Florida became a
state. Mrs. Nance said the
nation is highly' literate,
providing schooling for 'all
children. "The children go to
school six days a week, with
the government providing


them uniforms and books.
They attend six years of high
school, which is the equiva-
lent of a Junior College
education in the United
States", the speaker said.
The speaker said the nation
was very clean. "There is no
litter and people help to keep
it that way."
She said the convenience
she missed the most in
Uruguay was the common

she said.
Much of Uruguay's econo-
my is tied to ranching of beef
and sheep, Mrs. Nance said.
She produced several items
she had brought back with
her including the famous
Bolo, used by the Gaucho to
catch and hold man and
beast. The simple tool is
three stone balls about the


size of a pool ball, attached to
the end of leather thongs
about four feet long. The bolo
is an effective weapon, still
used by the South American
cowboy in his work.


The nation is a country of
statues: "They have a statue'
to commemorate every fam-
ous man and every important
event in their history", Mrs.
Nance said.


per recreational fisherman,-
and the deletion of the hinds
and graysby groupers from
the'daily bag limit of five
grouper per recreational fi-
sherman. The species de-
leted are small and not
considered overfished. The
rule proposal also includes.
size limits of 18 inches for
jewfish, red, Nassau, black,
gag, and yellowfin groupers
and eight inches for black
and southern sea bass, and
prohibits the use of longline
gear.
In other action, the Com-
mission passed its final rule
proposal to prohibit the har-
vest of queen conch in in
effort to protect and re-
plenish this once abundant
snail that has suffered severe
overfishing. The Commission
also decided to.remove from
the stone crab rule a one
percent tolerance level on
taking undersized stone crab
claws, deciding instead to
allow no tolerance after
hearing arguments from the
Department of Natural Re-
sources. The Commission
announced that if not allow-,
ing a tolerance created prob-
lems, it would reconsider the
matter. Both the queen conch
and stone crab rules are set
to reach the Governor and
Cabinet for approval in
March.
The Commission consider-
ed possible management
measures for redfish and
seatrout, without reaching
any definite conclusions.
However, the subject will be
discussed at the next Com-
mission meeting. A package
of proposed regulations will
b~ ufndefi serious considera-
ti in* and -will include in-
creased size limits for red-
fish of 16 to 22 inches and for
trout of 14 inches, daily bag
limits of three to five redfish
and eight to 10 trout per
recreational fisherman,
weekend closures to com-
mercial fishing, and one to
two month closures to all
harvest during spawning sea-
son for both species. State-
