Corps Offers Gulf


County Carrot


Wants to Make Spoil Material Available for River Dredging Support


Thre Gulf County commission,
which has vocally opposed uncontroll-
ed dredging and snagging operations
in the Apalachicola for years, had the
Corps of Engifeers offer them a
carrot Tuesday. ,
The Commission has also had to
hunt, diligently, for sources of dirt for
its road work activities, also, so the
Corps made them a deal which the
Board could hardly refuse.
Alton Colvin, area director for the
Corps out of its Panama City office
and Glenn Coffey, in charge of the
Apalachicola River maintenance
dredging operations in three states,
told the Commission they are working
up a spoil agreement for the next 25
years or so, which would benefit the
Corps and the" counties along the

*


river. - -
Coffey, who was main spokesman
for the group, said the Corps is trying
to change its image, by offering the
spoil material to the counties along
the river to use as fill dirt. In
exchange, the Corps wants each
county to designate spoil sites for the
material. Coffey said the only cost to
the county would be for providing for
spoil sites, if there is any cost and
construction of holding dikes if one is
necessary. There would be consider-
ably more material available to Gulf
each year than the county requires for
its needs.
As an aside to the subject,
Commissioners Everett Owens and
Doug Birmingham aired a common
complaint of the Board that Corps of


Engineers operations are stopping up
"all'the sloughs from the Cut-off to
Kennedy Creek", Owens pointed out
there was only one creel- still open in
that stretch and it is filling up. "A few
years ago, there were six or eight
creeks which would allow you to go
from the Chipola to the Apalachicola
River, now there are none unless
there is about 10 feet of water".
Steve Leitman of the Department
of Environmental Regulation, who
came along with Colvin and Coffey,
defended the Corps in the matter by
pointing out that DER would not allow
dumping of dredge spoil where it
would enter the creeks. Leitman said
it was his opinion the problem came
from natural actions by the river.
The Corps representatives seem-


ed to tacitly recognize that they
caused at least part of the problem.
Colvin and Coffey said the Corps was
giving more attention to the problem
mentioned by Owens and Birming-


ham.
Colvin pointed out the Corps kept
the sloughs cleaned out in years past,
"but DER stopped us in the 60's. Now
they want us to begin opening them up


again".
Coffey said the Corps was "going
to everything we can do to keep the
sloughs open in the future"

Running Out of Money


Clerk of the Circuit Court Jerry
Gates, who is also Gulf County's fiscal
agent, warned that the county would
over-spend a part of its budget by
August 31 if the current rate of
spending continued.
Citing funding of a full-time Civil
Defense director and secretary as the
culprit in the budget over-run, Gates
said employing the director and
secretary on a full-time basis after
budgeting for part-time positions has
put the budget in a bind which needs
the Board's attention immediately.
"I cannot write a check for a
monthly draw to the Fine and
Forfeiture Fund knowing there isn't
money budgeted to cover the expense
on penalty from.the Florida Statutes",
Gates said. "If I do, I ain held
responsible for those funds written


over the budgeted amount and am
responsible for them", he continued.
,Gates left no misunderstanding. He
pointed out that it was illegal for him
to issue funds which would run the
budget in the red and he didn't intend.

director and secretary to take advan-
tage of state matching funds, hasn't
produced the matching funds as yet
and has endangered the Fine and
Forfeiture Fund to the tune of about
$12,108.10.
The Clerk pointed out that when
thebildg~L was made at this time last,
year, thle Board had placed funds in
the Sheriff's portion of the F&F fund


to pay a CD director on a part-time
basis, allowing the Sheriff to use the '
person in his department and perform.
CD duties as well. Since that time,
Rev. Larry Wells was hired as
part-time, then elevated to a full-time
basis with extra responsibilities being
placed on his, department. The
activity was never removed from the '
Sheriff's portion of the F&F fund, so
now it is in trouble.

Classes Star

Gulf County school children will report to classes
Monday morning in an atmosphere which will see the
starting time-of the school day as the only significant
change in the program.
For the first time, all Gulf County schools will start
classes at .the same time--7:55. In the past starting
times of the various schools in the county have varied by
as much as 20 minutes. Not so any more. ,'
Classes at all schools will begin at the same time,
but they won't all end at the same time.
Elementary schools will let bus students out at 2:20
and walking or private transportation- students will
leave school at 2:30. High School students 'will be
released from school at 2:44.
SCHOOL IN A SCHOOL
This school year, both high schools will adopt a
school within a school concept, but the students will
hardly recognize it as a change. .
According to Temple Watson;, administrative
assistant, the state education state people are strong for,:
the middle school concept 'for seventh ;andd eighth .
graders.. "We're going to have our middle schools, but,
they will be in the present high school buildings",
Watson said.
Gulf County received a state grant of $85,436 to
introduce the new education concept to the state.
Superintendent Walter Wilder said, "'Our schools are
particularly fortunate to have received this grant. There
was only $500,000 available statewide with 31 other
school districts vying for the money."
Watson said the school in a school operation is a new
concept. "The state is strong for middle schools, but
small counties like Gulf County can't hope to justify
building facilities for seventh and eighth grade students.
Hopefully our idea will prove viable and in days to come,
will be standard procedure for smaller counties".
Both Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka High Schools-
will. offer middle school programs which will see the
seventh and eighth grade students segregated from the
senior high students. "The only difference the student

IRS Fumble
Remember the horror stories which came out a
little more than a month ago about the Internal
Revenue Service computer and its problems handling
income tax returns?.
Probably you overlooked the story with a shake of
the head, an amused smile and a conviction it couldn't
happen to you.
Well, it did happen to Jerry Gates, Gulf County's
Clerk of the Court, who has been looking for a refund
ever since he filed his return this year. There is no
consolation to Gates that it probably wouldn't have
happened if he had owed Uncle Sam money instead of
being eligible for money back.
Gates is more than a little apprehensive now.
Gates received his filled out return in the mail the
other day. A dentist in Pensacola had received some
papers back from IRS recently. Inside the envelope,
along with his papers, was Gates' filled out return he
had mailed in to IRS. Rather than chance mailing the
return back to IRS and causing real confusion, the :
dentist mailed the return to Gates so he would at least
have it in his possession when IRS starts asking him
why he didn't file a return this year.
Gates said, "I don't know what's going to happen,
but I'm going to start the ball rolling to try to get the
return back to IRS and hope everything works out
OK."

40 Years Ago


The Most Tragic War In History Ended


Today may look much like any
other day in history, but in fact it is
the anniversary of what has been
described as the most destructive,,
war in the history of man-most
destructive in the amount of human
suffering and most destructive, in
the wasted resources of this earth.
It was 40 years ago today that
the nation of Japan joined Ger-
many and. Italy in announcing, its
unconditional surrender after
starting a war which was to cover
the entire face of the earth.
Following the attack on Pearl
Harbor on December 7, 1941, the'
Japanese quickly grabbed control
over the vast Pacific Ocean and
-spread into much of the Asian
continent before they were stopped
sand finally' defeated.
. It has been estimated this most
.:-horrible of all wars cost" three
E'inillion lives and wounded or
Z:injured an additional 2.5 million.
i:i3'hat's equal to three fourths of the
-population of Florida killed or.
wounded.
On top of this horrendous
casualty count, it has been esti-
mated that at least a Tmillion
Americans and at least two million
Japanese would have died in the
invasion of Japan if the Japahese
had not called it quits after the
dropping of the world's, first two
Atomic bombs.

United States which wasn't touched
I in some way or another by that

hardly a family which didn't lose
the life of a loved one.
In spite of the remembered
horrors of this war which saw the
unprecedented slaughter of hu-
mans, to the point of frightening a
even the most jaded, we still are a e
world at one another's throats with u
the tools of 'even more horrible e
destruction. . g
The end of the war with Japan a
was probably a more welcome u
event than the final day . of t
America's Revolutionary War or i
the Civil War, so grbat was its fc

Today, in all honesty, we must 5s
ask ourself if our nation would ever 'a
be capable of meeting such a i
challenge again. Would we have y
the money to fight such a war and a
still recover should we win? to
Would we have the natural P
resources to fend off such a threat of
to our existence once more? in
Above all', would we have the "p
determination of our people to
withstand the hardships and the a
sacrifice such an all-our war-would a
bring to us?
Here at this anniversary of the
end of the war with Japan, if we
determine that we must answer
one or more of these questions in
the negative, we had better., start
making plans. or bringing, about
changes. As sure as night follows
day the' challenge will be made
again.. The next time will probably
even be a stiffer challenge.

Bad Luck..

You've heard of the fellow who,
if he had no bad luck, he would
have no luck at all.
There's a lifeguard-or more
accurate, there' was a lifeguard-
down in New Orleans, who fits this
description.
The lifeguard had joined 100 of
his fellow lifeguards to celebrate
an entire summer without a
drowning in a _New Orleans city
swimming pool. It was the first
time in memory.
What happened?
A man drowned at the party.
The moral of this tale is, don't
celebrate your good fortune too
soon.

they're just as married as if

tory when I chanced upon
n article about Will Rogers
n a recent newspaper. Now
hat's not unusual because;
ou often see a word or two
bout Will Rogers from time
o time although he died in
n airplane crash with Wiley
'ost up. in Alaska in August
f 1935. What caught my eye
this particular story was a
host inaccurate and com-
letely ignorant statement.
Say, ole Will was one of us
nd he ever pretended to be
iiything else. If you'd like a


good look at American his-
tory from 1900 to 1935 or if
you'd like some insight into
life whether it's 1923 or 1985
.-you,ought to pick up some of
Will's writings and go to,
reading. Not only can you
learn from it but there's a
laugh or two to be found
amongst all of Will's say-
ings. I guess one of the things
that I personally liked about
WR was that he didn't force
nothing on you. He just laid it
out and if you wanted to "get
it", it was there. He didn't
try to be an expert .- he'
often poked fun at those so-
called "experts" of his day
- he simply tried to com-
ment on the world- around
him. I happen to agree with a
lot of his comments. Will
once said, "Everybody is ig-
norant, only on different sub-
jects". You think about it -
is that not as timely and
truthful today as it was when
Will uttered it over 50 years
ago?

TI THURSDAY, AUG. 15, 1985


Well, the statement in this
recent article was from
some guy named Mark Rus-
sell. You ever heard of him?
The article said he was a
"print and television politi-
cal satirist". You know he
couldn't be too much when
they have to tell you in the
story who he is and what he
does. The day after Will
Rogers died the headlines in
the newspaper in Russia
said "Will dead". They
didn't even need the last
name in Russia-they knew
who Will was. That's name
recognition that Mark Rus-
sell doesn't understand.
Someone asked this
Russell fellow if Will would
" have been successful today.
He said "no way". He went
on to say that the world has
become too complex, etc. for
the "folksy rope-twirling
cowboy". Can you believe
the unmitigated gall of some
folks. Of course I don't have
to defend Will Rogers - he's
. already summed up this sit-
uation far better than I could
ever dream of doing. Re-
member his line about
everybody being ignorant?
Will Rogers was genuine.
People recognized this in Ok-


COLBERT
lahoma in the 1890's and they
recognized it around the
world in the 20's and 30's.
Listen, do you think we're
too complex or too sophis-
ticated in 1985 not to recog-
nize the genuine article when
we see it? The world today
might be too complex for
Mark Russell but it wouldn't
be for WR. Will had the abili-
ty to cut through all the
"bunk" of his day and get to
the heart of the matter. We
might have a little more
"bunk" today but don't let
anyone tell you that Will
Rogers couldn't "cut it" in
1985.
I wish ole Will was still
around, and not just to prove
how wrong the Russell fellow
is; I'd love to read what Will
would have to say about the.

Running Out (Continued from Page 1)


Doing Its Thing!

. St. Joe Paper Company just keeps on doing its thing
after a vote by operating unions last week agreed to a


the Mexico Beach Police
Patrol case took another turn
Tuesday of this week, when
recently reinstated Patrol-
man Dennis Ake tendered his
resignation to the force.
Ake had been placed' on
suspension with pay in May
of this year, facing investiga-
tion of police brutality filed
against him by Chuck Price.
Ake had arrested Price, but


Price charged that Ake used
undue force in the action,
striking him with his club.
Ake said Price resisted ar-
rest, resulting in any use of
force by him.
An investigation into the
matter resulted in Ake being
cleared of the brutality char-
ges by the investigating
panel.
Three of the Beach com-
missioners, Mayor Jim
Heathcock, Bob Timmons
and'Frank Gholson all voted
to put Ake back to work on
the basis of the investigative
report. Commissioners Al
Cathey and Tom Marquardt
voted against reinstating
Ake, saying they felt the
town's confidence in the
police force would be diluted
by re-instating Ake. Cathey
had said last week, "In my
opinion, the matter makes
the police force very vulner-
able."

vacant, saving some money", he
pointed 'out.
Gates recommended three alter-
natives to solve the immediate
problem. 1) Request Sheriff Harrison
reduce the Sheriff Department budget
by $i2,108.10; 2) transfer the two Civil
Defense employees 'to another de-
partment (suggested the Road and
Bridge Department), or 3) terminate
the Civil Defense Department until
October 1, 1985, when it is fully
funded.


three-year working .-agreement with the local paper
manufacturer. Three unions accepted the company's latest
version of a contract in a vote last Thursday. The pact calls
for a nine percent wage increase over the next three years,
along with changes in health insurance contributions and
paid holiday stipulations. : -Star photo


Corps Off ers (Continued from Page 1)


As for the free fill dirt material,
the Board said they would study the
offer for a couple of weeks and get
back with the Corps with their
answer.
WEWA PAVING
Wewahitchka Mayor Bill Traylor
and Commissioner Ralph Rish came
to the Commission for help in paving
four short streets in the north Gulf
city, "before they are damaged to the
point they can't be repaired". Rish,
acting as spokesman, said Pine
Avenue,. Pine Street, Harden Circle "
and Richards Avenue were all in'bad
need of re-surfacing and asked the
County to aid their city in getting the
job done. He estimated the cost to be
about $37,988. Both Rish and Traylor
emphasized that Pine Street needed.
re-surfacing 'worst, since it was
adjoining school property and was a
main traffic feeder into the property. '


Doug Birmingham, Road Depart-
ment commissioner said the county
couldn't even consider such an
operation until costs are ascertained
on the Pleasant Rest Cemetery bridge
job. "We will call for that bid in about
a month and then we'll know how
much road money we have left. Until
that time, we can't obligate ourselves
for anything".
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business matters, the
Commission:
-Agreed to lend the Highland
View water system $12,000 to renovate
the system so an accurate charge
could be made to its customers and
pay its own way. The system, which
was turned over to the county recently
is currently being subsidized by the
Beaches water system, but will repay
the amount owed the system when
Highland View is put back into good


operation once more. Initially, new
meters will be placed in the system in
about 40 different locations where
problems are known to exist.
Abolished the Road and Bridge
Department work order system as
causing more problems than it solves.
-Adopted Gulf County's Com-
prehensive Plan which has been in
existence for a number of years, with,
the expectations of making several.
changes over the next few months.
The county has until December 31 to
adopt a plan of some sort. Commis-
sioner Birmingham cast the only
"Nay" vote against the adoption.
-Accepted the low bid of Carr's
Auto Sales for purchase of a pick-up
truck. Agreed to re-advertise for the
purchase of a new fire truck for the
Beaches Fire Department, including
provisions for time as well as cash
purchase plans.

you might'a been a tad dis-

Will, we'd both liked that

Gates said he realized the Civil
Defense director was doing a neces-
sary job and was doing his job well.
He stressed the only problem was the
fact that his activities were not funded
in the current budget,
Chairman Eldridge Money said
the Board would consider their
alternatives and make a decision to
correct the problem at their next
meeting, in two weeks.

Special Treatment for

7th and 8th Graders


Seventh and eighth grade
students at Port St. Joe and
WeWahitchka Junior-Senior
High School will be receiving
special treatment this year
thanks to an $85,436 grant
awarded to the district by the
Florida Department of Edu-
cation.
The program, designed to


provide a "school within a
school" concept, will ease the
transition from elementary
to high school for these
"in-between ages" who all
too frequently are not emo-
tionally equipped to handle
the social and academic
pressures present in a high
school setting.


Ambulance service technicians assist accident Friday, while Police Officer
Demetriius Jones from a car involved in an Brannon, right, assesses the situation.


Two Cars Collide


Two cars collided Friday
afternoon on Highway 98
near the Avenue B intersec-
tion, according to Port St.
Joe police.
Demetriius Jones of Apa-
lachicola was taken to Gulf
Pines Hospital for treatment
after his head had struck the
windshield of the car in


which he was riding.
According to officer James
Graves, a 1974 Mercury
driven by Marie Tucker
Armstrong of Wewahitchka,
struck the rear-end of a 1981
Ford driven by Anthony
Lanier Williams of Apalachi-
cola. Jones was a passenger
in the Williams vehicle.

Gardening In August


Williams had stopped to keep
from hitting a third car
which had slowed to make a
left turn into Avenue B.
Armstrong was unable to
stop her car in time, striking
the rear of the Williams
machine.
Damage to Williams' ve-
hicle was estimated at $1,000
and $150 to Armstrong's car.
Investigating officer Bran-
non filed no charges in the
accident, pending further
investigation.

You Can Reduce Cost


of Your Electricity Bill


"Anybody can keep track
of the electric power they are
using and economize on their
bills if they so desire", Mike
McDonald, local manager for
Florida Power Corporation
told the Rotary Club last
Thursday.
Using a device owned by
the FPC public relations
department, McDonald dem-
onstrated how different ap-
pliances and electrical out-
lets in the average home use
the most electricity and
where real savings can be
made by the homemaker.
"First, you should have a
home which is equipped for
economical use of electricity,
such as weather stripping
around the doors and win-
dows, proper insulation and
other steps a home maker
can take to curb loss of heat
and cool air."
McDonald said the average
person who worries about
leaving lights on as a means
of saving electricity are just
wasting time. "The average
home dses only about a cent a
and a half a day to run its
electric lights", he said.
The big users of electricity
are appliances which heat
and cool, such as air condi-
tioners, heat pumps, strip
heaters, water heaters, elec-
tric irons, toasters, small


appliances, etc.
"If you set your thermo-
stats on 78 degrees in the
summer and 68 in the winter,
you will affect some savings
you can see when the bill
comes at the end of the
month", he said.
McDonald said the power
company offers a home own-
er two ways to cut down on
his average monthly bill.
One, a customer can go on
the average billing plan,
where 12 months of billing
will be averaged out and
billed at the rate of one-
twelfth of the total every
month, rather than have
large bills in the summer and
smaller ones in the winter.
Another way to save is to
take advantage of the com-


pany's energy check-up ser-
vice. One type of the service
is free and another, more
thorough inspection by FPC
engineers, stipulates what a
person can do to affect power
use savings.

'f Alela Burke has recently returned from an International

BY ROY LEE CARTER
County Extension Director
Gardening in Florida dur-
ing the summer months is
difficult, but gardening dur-
ing the month of August is the
ultimate trial for even the
most dedicated gardener. It
is usually so hot that most of
us limit our gardening to
mowing the lawn. However,
many garden chores can be
accomplished early in the
day or after an afternoon
shower when temperatures
are tolerable for working
outdoors. The following are
some easy-to-do garden
chores for August.
Centipede lawns can be
fertilized for the last time
this year. A complete fertili-
zer such as 16-4-8 should be
applied at the rate of 1 pound
of actual nitrogen per 1000
square feet of lawn.
Roses grow quite large in
South Florida and a late
August pruning is recom-
mended. Remove healthy top
growth as well as twigs and
branches that are dead,
diseased, injured, unsightly
,or thin and spindly. Shorten
main canes and lateral bran-
ches removing small twigs
and some of the oldest canes.

CARTER
Leave at least half the length
of each main cane that is one
to three years old. The first
flowers can be expected eight ,
to nine weeks after pruning.
If you're growing mums or
poinsettias for winter color,
this is the last month you
should pinch these plants to
increase blooms. Pinching
back the stem tips will
promote heavier flowering
because of increased branch-
ing. But; if you wait too late,
pinching will remove flower
buds and thus reduce flowers
this fall.
It's also about time to
begin disbudding'. camellias
to increase .flower size. As
soon as you can distinguish
the rounded flower buds from
the pointed vegetative bud,
twist off all but one of the
'flower buds at each tip. Be
careful not to injure the
remaining bud which should
develop into a larger flower.
Sasanquas and japonicas
which are prized for multiple
blooms, need not be pinched.
Common ornamentals like
oleander, hydrangeas and
azaleas can be propagated by
cuttings this time of year.
For azaleas, take tip cuttings
three to five inches long with
several leaves left attached.
Many rooting mediums can
be used such as sand or a
mixture of peat and perlite.
Place the cuttings in the
medium and keep moist by
covering with a plastic bag or
use a mist system. A rooting
hormone may hasten root
growth. If you have any cold
sensitive ornamentals, try
rooting cuttings before win-
ter and keep the young plants
in a protected spot this
winter. Then, if some of your
established plants. freeze,
you'll have replacements for
the spring. <.
If you want to t things
this time of year, trLouisi-
ana iris, gingers, crrinums,
daylilies, amaryllis and ze-
phyr lilies. Of course; you
can still plant woody orna-
mentals, but hurry up so that
they'll be well established
before winter arrives.
If you intend to plant
winter annuals like Baby's
Breath, calendulas or pan-
sies, start ordering your seed
and preparing the flower
beds.
Keep watching for insects
on turfgrasses and ornamen-
tals. Chinch bugs and mole
crickets are very active on
lawns and white flies, scales,
aphids, and caterpillars are
damaging ornamentals.
There's lots of other activi-
ties you can think of, but
these willkeep you busy for a
while.

Stop Marine Theft!


One of the favorite items for warm
weather thieves to pick on is boats and
boating equipment. The Gulf County
Sheriff's Department has adopted a
program entitled, "Stop Marine Theft"
which is designed to discourage the theft
of boats and equipment and to aid in its
recovery if it is stolen.
The purpose of the program is to
enable boat owners to have a written
record of all their boating equipment
serial numbers and a description of the
equipment available where it can be used
to identify stolen articles.
Sheriff Al Harrison said that even
when many boating accessories and
equipment is recovered it is hard to
locate the owners and for the owners to
positively identify the items.
The Department has a form avail-


Highway 98 REEVES


able for boat owners to list their marine
items and give a short description or
serial numbers of the items. The form is
to be turned imn -,to the Sheriff's
Department for filing with the Sheriff's
Department or keeping in your own files
at home. "Either way, with the form
filled out, you will have' an accurate
description of your property and can
properly identify it if the need should
ever arise", Sheriff Harrisoh said.
The Sheriff said it is also helpful to
mark your equipment with your initials
or some other easily recognizable mark.
Forms for listing your boating
equipment and identification may be
obtained. by boaters from the, Tax
Collector's office or from the Sheriff's
Department in the Gulf County Court-
house:

SIMPjLE SEEING TIPS
F R SENIORS ,
Nature changes our eyes,
and the way we see, from the
time we are born. Some of
the biggest changes occur
when we become senior citi-
zens.
. Regular eye examinations
enable -your optometrist to
detect these changes before
they make seeing uncom-
fortable. A change of
prescription can often make
your vision clear again,
unless it is being altered by
certain eye diseases.
These tips can help you see
better:
* Use higher wattage bulbs
at home or in your office.
* Move your source of light
closer to print or small ob-
jects without letting it
shine in your eyes.
* Clean your glasses more
often with a mild soap and
water; wipe dry with a soft
tissue or cloth:
* Carry a small flashlight for
use in low-lighted areas.
* If you drive, keep wind-
shields and headlights
clean; rest when you tire.
If it is becoming more diffi-
cult, to see at dusk or at
night, reevaluate-in con-
sultation with your opto-
metrist-whether or not
you. should continue to
drive at night.

Suppose you gave the kid next door


10 bucks...


to cut your lawn.

Part of his money would go toward gas and oil for his mower.

In a way, running a power plant is no different than running a lawn
mower, because part of the cost of making electricity - like
mowing a lawn - is fuel (coal, nuclear, oil).

The "Fuel Charge" on your electric bill lets you know how much it
costs to spin Florida Power's generators.

Every six months the "Fuel Charge" is adjusted up or down to re-
flect changes in the price we pay for fuel. Every dollar you pay for
fuel, we pay for fuel ... Florida Power makes no profit on this charge.

So. whether it's mowing lawns or making electricity, think of fuel
as just another cost of doing business.

The U. S. Supreme Court
ruled on February 19 in a 5-4
decision that local govern-
ments must obey federal
regulations on minimum
wages and overtime. The
Department of Labor will
begin enforcing those rules
on October 15;
"You are bound by the law
until it is changed." Orlando
Attorney Frank C. Kruppen-
bacher told a gathering of
sheriffs in a seminar at the
Florida Sheriff's Association
convention.
Although the rules exempt
executive, administrative
and professional personnel',
cpqties must still provide a
minimum wage and over-
time pay to deputies, dispat-
chers and other staffers, said
Kruppenbacher.
.According' to Sheriff Al
Harrison. the rules will re-
quire non-certified personnel
tW'receive overtime anytime
they work more than 40 hours
per week. Police officers can
be required to work up to 171
hours in .a 28-day period if
the county chooses that op-
tion. If not, the officers fall
under the basic 40
hour per week guidelines.'

ous waste assessment in-

The major piece of business
for the Congress just before it
adjourned was agreement by
the House and Senate on the
budget. As passed, it achieves
a $57 billion deficit reduction
without cutting Social Security
benefits and without raising
taxes.
The biggest difference be-
tween the final agreement and
the House-passed budget was
defense spending. The agree-
ment sets a ceiling on defense
appropriations that is $10 billion
higher than current levels, while
the House-passed measure had
frozen defense.spending at this
year's level.
While I believe the measure
as passed is the best we can get
at the present time, I am con-
cerned that enough has not
been done to balance the
budget and bring our horrible
deficit into control. Although it
is projected that this agreement
will reduce spending by $280
billion over three years, many of
us believe that this is only a
good start.
I want to point out that our
agreement provides for con-
siderably smaller deficits than
those proposed by President
Reagan in his February budget.
The deficit for 1986 under this,
agreement will be $171.9 billion
compared to a deficit of $180
billion proposed by the Presi-
dent. In fiscal year 1988,.the
deficit is projected 'to be $112.9
billion, which is $31.5 billion
lower than the $144.4 billion
deficit under the Reagan plan.
On defense, the budget
adopted accepted the Senate
proposal which provided for a
full inflation adjustment in
defense appropriations in fiscal
1986, and adjustments of 3%
above inflation for 'the next two
fiscal years.
These increases in defense
are in sharp contrast to
domestic programs, most of
which' were frozen at the cur-

cerning compensatory time,
trading time, rest periods,
volunteer work, training and
off-duty employment. "If you
permit a person to work, you
have to pay them," he said
when asked about dedicated
employees volunteering time

and investigations. "If you

department, you've got to

rent level and' many reduced
significantly. The House-passed
measure had provided for a
freeze for one year on defense
appropriations, similar to the
freeze which the House*
measure had imposed on ap-
propriations for most domestic
programs.
The Congress rejected a
move to impose a one-year
freeze on Social Security;
federal retirement and veterans
cost of living increases. The
final version included these cost
of living increases.
The agreement makes very
substantial savings in other
areas of domestic spending -_
96.4 over three years while, at
the same time, protecting pro-
grams of special importance in
serving low income people or
in meeting urgent national
needs. '
It is worth noting that. the
House had already begun con-
sideration of appropriation bills
before adoption of the con-
ference agreement. So far,
every single one of the eight ap-,
propriations that have passed
the House has been held below
the target set by the House
resolution. This suggests that
the chances are excellent that
the savings assumed. in this
budget will actually be realized. *
It is my judgment that' the
most pressing problem facing
the American people is that of
bringing our federal spending in
line with income. 'We have
made significant strides int this
direction, but much, much/
more needs to be accomplish-.
ed. It is a problem which will not
go away and I am pleased at the
attitude of the vast majority of
the Members of Congress. They
are serious about accomplishing
that goal and I can assure you
that no Member of the House
or Senate more fervently desires
the accomplishment of that ob-
jective.
