USPS 518-880 FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR, NUMBER 1 L 1 Elena THE TAR Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1985 Makes Like A 250 Per Copy tourist Leaves Residents of Gulf County with A Big Clean-Up Job Hurricane Elena acted just like a tourist this past.week end, when she visited the Frontier Coast of Florida. The storm came withif 66 miles of the coast here in Gulf County on Friday (within sight of land for a hurricane) then decided to look at the entire Gulf Coast of Florida while it was here. The storm then moved west to within a short distance of Cedar Key and stalled, whipping the coast with 64 miles per hour winds, staying there for 18 hours before deciding to take one more look at that fabulous Gulf Coast. Sunday morning, the storm headed back to Gulf County after depositing about seven inches of rainfall on Friday and Saturday and littering the area with limbs, leaves and debris. Gulf County thought it had escaped with only light damage and none of the dreaded high tides which usually accompany a hurricane. Sunday morning, it was time to pull the shelter covers over your head again because Elena was on her way back. This time her visit was in earnest as she skirted the shoreline all the way from Cedar Key to Pascagoula, Miss., wrecking havoc all the way. Elena's closest approach to Gulf County was Sunday evening about 6:00 p.m., when the eye of the storm was some 40 to 45 miles south of Cape San Blas, barreling along parallel with the coast at 10 to 12 miles per hour, according to Wayne Snyder meteorologist with the National Weather. Service at Apalachicola. Snyder said that at this time, winds were whipping the coastline at about 66 miles per hour with gusts of up to 90 miles per hour. Snyder said the mercury dropped to 29.37 at the weather station and that hurricane spotter planes clocked winds at the center of the storm at 141 miles per hour at 5,000 feet while the storm was skirting the Gulf County coast. DAMAGE While Port St. Joe didn't get any great damage from the expected sources of winds and rising water, fire broke out in two places in the area, causing traumatic and considerable monetary damage. Falling electrical wires caused the home of Frank Linton of Highland View and the Pastorium of the Long Avenue Baptist Church'on 17th Street to burn. Linton's home burned to the ground and the Pastorium had its ceiling and roof burned completely out. Both Linton and Dr. Dan Duncan and their families were in shelters when S. a" ethro*=er1w .hedAta Jast^Mll4ebeloningsti and many of the Duncan's possessions were destroyed by the fire. Standard damages from hurricanes was comparative- ly light here. in Port St. Joe and the surrounding area. Heavy erosion and water' damage was expected at the beaches in south Gulf County, but the heavy damage just didn't come. One home, only partially built, suffered extensive damage while numerous walkways, patios and beach-front cabanas were washed out and damaged. All roads in the beaches areas remained passable although one stretch of road on the Peninsula was damaged by water and the road at the end of the Cape >an Blas road. was crumbled at the water's edge where it leads to a boat landFng. Here in Port St. Joe, reports were that trees fell on only two houses, inflicting only minor damage. Possibly the greatest damage was suffered by the James Wilson home on Garrison Avenue, where a tree blew over on a metal carport on the front of the house, demolishing it.' Another tree fell on the Ralph Walton home on Tenth Street, but damage seemed to be minor to the home. Numerous trees fell inside the City, from small saplings to large mature oaks, pecans and pines. Several fell only a few feet from homes and some fell away from the house, rather than falling into it. One such instance was the home of Mrs. Franees Brown on Monument Avenue, where a giant oak near the house, fell toward the street. UTILITIES INTERRUPTED The greatest material damage seemed to be ,inflicted on utilities inside the City. .... Wednesday at noon there were .still some homes without electric power, even though the Florida Power A fireman utilizes the boom bucket of a St. Joseph apparently was started from a short circuit from falling Telephone Company truck to get water on the roof of the electric wires in the storm and burned the roof completely burning Long Avenue Baptist Church Pastorium during off the house. --Star photo the first visit from Elena. early Saturday morning. The fire Corporation office said yesterday they expected to have all homes with. electricity again by the afternoon Wednesday, barring any unexpected difficulties. Power company crews from as far away as St. Petersburg have labored day and night since the storm to restore the power supply. The telephone service remained virtually intact, even though the long distance service to Franklin County was completely severed by the storm. Higdon Swatts, telephone company executive, said the company had huge sections of roof blown off their switching station building at Filth and Long, causing considerable damage inside the building and damaging the micro-wave system. which handles long-distance to Franklin County. "The water shl '' d the machinery out, completely isolating Franklin County", Swatts said. Swatts said trees were down on several cables interrupting service to several homes, but hopefully all customers should be back on line bvtoday or tomorrow. Robert Newman of Gulf Cable TV said he really couldn't start looking for troubles until the power supply was restored at several key transmission points throughout the City. "The downed power lines have Qu down too", Newman said. "They promised us power by noon Wednesday and we should have everyone back on the line in the early afternoon Wednesday", he said. In the meantime, the people of Gulf County were faced with a gigantic clean-up problem. With windows broken out in about eight business houses in downtown Port St. Joe, the roof blown off at least two establishments and trees and debris down all over the town, the entire week will probably be devoted to clearing away debris and hauling off trash. People left the beaches and Port St. Joe area in record numbers for Elena's visit. Governor Bob Graham ordered evacuation of low-lying areas along the coast and local law (Continued on Page 5) RAINFALL According to records kept at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Port St. Joe area experienced some 13.58 inches of rainfall from readings taken Saturday morning through Monday afternoon. The main portion of the precipitation came on Saturday, when 7.55 inches were recorded. Sunday was the lightest day when only .48 inches were collected in the rain gauge. The records are kept in the laboratory by Pete White and Tony Barbee. NAACP Adds Demands As Price for Dropping Class Action Suit The NAACP was apparently not satisfied with a list of three demands made against the City of Port St. Joe two weeks ago by the Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commission and added some demands of their own to the list, which were presented to the Commission Tuesday night.: The EEOC had filed discrimin- ation charges against the City for "failure. to employ blacks in the City Hall". The City defended itself by revealing it had not hired anybody in the City Hall for severalyears, using the information as its denial of guilt in the charges. Two weeks ago, the City agreed to a list of three demands, to advertise positions with the City, to hire at least one black person in the City Hall office when .a vacancy became available and to adopt: the, affirmative action program as outlined by the federal government. The Commission agreed to adopt the three count package if EEOC would drop all pending charges it may have against the City. Tuesday, the NAACP had gotten into the agreement directly and added to the list of requirements set out by EEOC. A list of five demands were presented to the Commission Tuesday from the NAACP; Florida State Conference of Branches, Edmund C. Dillon, Jr., Executice Secretary. The list demanded that the City "advertise positions in Port St. Joe paper for two weeks plus Gulf Co. Breeze for entry level positions"; "advertise all posi- (Continued on Page 3) Wewa FiresPolice Chief Earlier in the week, Chief Glass ,had rejected a suggestion that he attend the classes and tempers flared before Mayor Traylor temporarily suspended Glass and asked for the .keys to the City's patrol car. Glass refused to| give the keys up at that time, but later surrendered them to . Traylor.' Glass had been with the City of Wewahitchka on a full-time basis since 1969, when he succeeded the late Dickens Leads Voting Ray Dickens, a contractor, came out of the City Commission vote in Wewahitchka Tuesday with a one vote lead over his nearest opponent, veteran Commissioner Thomas Mc- Daniell. Dickens polled 115 votes and McDaniell was able to count 114. Roger Jones, a third man 'in the Commission race had 107 ballots cast in his favor. Dickens and McDaniell will run off the election, but the exact date of the second primary election was uncertain at press time yesterday afternoon. Supervisor of Elections, Cora Sue Robinson said the Wewa- hitchka City Charter didn't address the matter of a run-off election 'directly and her office has asked for 'an interpretation from the state elections office. "We're hoping to have the run-off on September 17" Robinson said. The ultimate winner in the contest will take over the seat now held by Ralph Rish and serve a three year term. Rish elected not to seek re-election. Mayor Billy Traylor had no opposition to another term in the Mayor's post. In a referendum to increase pay for the City servants, the voters said "no" to increasing the Mayor's pay to $125 a month and Commissioners to $100. All commissioners now receive $25 per month for their service. The refendum to increase the pay was defeated, 150 to 126. Sharon Holmes, Wewahitchka City Clerk said the newly elected Commissioners would take office on October 1. Jack Connell as Chief of Police. Prior to that time, he had been assisting Connell in his duties on a part-time basis, often without pay. Mayor Traylor told The Star Thursday night, after the meeting, "We tried to work the situation out. We offered Glass assistance and tried to get him to agree to attend the classes, but he said; 'I ain't going' ". Mayor Traylor said the Chief's general attitude and a failure to take direct orders prompted the dismissal. "We can't have a city operation where some of the employees directly defy the Commission's orders. How could we maintain any control over our work force?" Some of the audience got in an ugly mood after the hasty decision was made Thursday night and wanted to speak. Mayor Traylor said the people had spent more than two hours speaking to the matter on the previous Tuesday night and it was now time for the Commission to make up its mind. The Commission did, by dismissing Glass, and immediately left the City Hall. The Star has not been able to contact either Glass or his attorney, Robert M. Moore, after the meeting -Thursday to see if Glass will appeal- (Continued on Page 5) The top of St. Joe Hardware's lumber shed is shown lying in the empty lot above, while the walls of the structure are shown still standing at right. High winds Saturday night caught the roof of the shed and completely lifted it off onto the ground. The winds also took the entire roofing covering off a large warehouse building across the street. The building was being used by Badcock Furniture Company as a warehouse and suffered considerable damage to the merchandise inside. -Star phbto This giant oak tree blew over in the front yard of Mrs. blown over as Elena made her first visit along the Gulf Frances Brown on Monument Avenue.

Tonight, the Department of Natural Resources will listen to -public input considering moving the building set-back line some 200 feet farther inland on our water- front property. A few vperq ;co thp Otate established a set-back line for ihis -coastal property, which was estab- lished as protection for both the beaches and the buildings to be built there. We don't own property along the waterfront, but we feel the new scheme is carrying things a little too far. The notice of the public hearing says the newly proposed set-back -line is to protect the buildings and 'sand dunes from storm surges or -Z'iurricanes. . Well, we have just had two ::isits from the same hurricane :within two days. The storms swept Comments right by the coastline here in Gulf County twice. There was no catastrophic damage to be report- ed. We're not going to claim to be expert enough to determine whe- ther or not the present set-back requirements were adequate to protect buildings and dunes, but the fact remains, neither were damage extensively. We ought to at least have an arguing point from the evidence at hand. We're not all that crazy about building solid along the beach, but since the state is going to allow it and allow government to tax the property owners a hefty sum, we feel they should be allowed to have some reasonable use of the proper- ty. In our estimation, the present set-back lines and other require- ments for building along the coast adequately protect it. If we're looking for something else from an extended set-back line, let's spell it out. We don't need it for the reasons given in the legal advertisements calling' for the hearing. THE STAR THURSDAY, SEPT. 5, 1985 PAGE TWO Nice to Have Neighbors It's nice to have good neigh- bors. And those of us here in Port ;i-!t. Joe and all along the'Gulf Coast : needed a good neighbor this past week end. wi Here in Port St. Joe, our people went everywhere in the Panhandle during the week end, but primarily we all went to Wewahitchka, our county neighbors to the north. i,: Wewahitchka, which is billed on its signs at the town's entrance as "The City With A Heart In the Heart of the Dead Lakes" showed its heart. We're not forgetting Blountstown, Grand Ridge, Talla- .j hassee and the other towns and cities to our north, which opened their doors to those who were skipping out of the coastline before -Elena paid her two visits in as many days. '"i' For the most Dart, our people S The County Commission is still expressing concern over the septic I4 tank rules as they are being applied in Gulf County. The Commissioners are catch- ing flack from those trying to get the sewer systems installed and the Commissioners are passing the gripes along, since there is nothing else they can do about the situation. The Commission has raised some pretty good questions con- cerning septic tank installations. such as why other counties don't have the problems getting .them' installed that Gulf does; why are some places allowed less restric- went to Wewahitchka. They opened their homes, their churches, their schools,- their City Hall and other public buildings for the thousands of people fleeing the storm. We all appreciate it. No doubt Wewahitchka had at least twice as many people as normal within its confines Friday and Sunday nights. They gave us shelter, fed us, made us comfort- able and welcomed us back if the need should arise in the future. That's good neighbors. We really can't imagine what kind of natural disaster could' strike Wewahitchka, but should it ever hit the "City with a Heart", you can bet the people of Port St. Joe will be right here willing and. ready to at least repay the fine. hospitality shown to us in our time of heed. tions than other places in the county, which obviously have bet- ter surroundings for the tanks to operate properly and why do some tanks require huge mounds of earth and others don't. Actually, we think the Commis- sion is within bounds to get state people here in Port St. Joe, get them to set out written require- ments for septic tanks to be applied ,.to everyone and then they can be sure the same yardstick is being applied all over the state. It's a problem which bears looking into, even if the present laws are being applied properly. S9Ihis money down.

Somebody said to me over Sthis past' weekend, "You know, the worst thing about a hurricane is the waiting." I disagreed as I kind'a feel that the worst thing about a hurricane is the middle of it LETTERS. v 0 0 -.54 They Deserve A Little Consideration An open letter to our com- munity:, I left Friday with my children and I was afraid. My husband stayed behind to do his job- he works for the power company. I have friends that had to leave their husbands who work in public service jobs, too. As I drove home today (Monday) I saw the trees and when it hits land. I believe there's some folks in Biloxi, Missisippi that would agree with me this morning. But I understood what my friend was saying the waiting can be pretty bad. . Farmer's daughter is awaiting for the salesman to take her into town, And the city slicker's waiting for the country boy to lay all limbs torn down and debris in the yards. I looked around and was filled with pride that I lived here. We have lived in fear and strain through the last four days, and we were. putting our lives together again. People were cleaning up and helping each other. Ordinary people but how courageous, our quiet heroes. It is hard to write this but we also have our complain- ers. Or maybe people too tired to understand what is at stake here. The danger for (Continued on Page 3) Nothing seems to make a turn. The worms just waiting for the early bird And I guess the early bird's waiting for the w-orm. As a matter of fact waiting on anything can, at times, be pretty rough. Remember those Saturday mornings that your folks were going to town and it was your turn to go? I'd wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning kAowing that my Dad wouldn't leave for town until around 10:00 a.m. Boy, would those 5 hours drag. I'd usually head down to Sugar Creek to bat a few rocks. You've done that, I'm sure. You cut off the end of a broom for a bat and there are all kinds of rocks along the creek. I'd pretend I was Stan Musial and I'd toss a rock up and wham knock it over the creek for a home run. Listen, Hank Aaron just thinks he's hit some home runs. Over the length of my "waiting career" I must have hit thousands of home COLBERT runs. My dad had to haul in more rocks a couple of times. Nobody wants to do nothing; Just trying to get a finger in the pie. Just waiting' for a call from a big quiz show Or hoping and awaiting for some rich uncle to die. Of course after a couple of hours, I'd get tired of hitting home runs so I'd head back to the house to do nothing. It seemed like Dad would take days, not hours, to get ready to go. You want to hear a good one? My mother would suggest at those "waiting times" that I read (Continued on Page 3) SIKnowA 1 IF WE HAVE A FEW more I hurricanes this fall, I'm going to gain it least 20 pounds. I left town for a hurricane for the first time when Elena started flirting with Gulf County, and then again Sunday when Elena said, "I'm coming up to see you". ; Elena' reminded me of Gypsy :_: Rose Lee whose by-line was "Come up and see me some time". But, with Elena, she did the travelling and came, to see all of us along the Gulf Coast. Remember a few weeks ago, I ': told you a hurricane with a man's ,:'name just couldn't scrape up a self-respecting hurricane's reputa- tion? Bob was a bust as a storm and Danny just danced around looking like i might like to be a hurricane if he Sjust had to. Elena, a lady's name, showed you : just how stormy a riled lady could be. Elena lived up to the reputation of all h. hurricanes with female names. Elena scratched, screarhed, cried rivers of tears (water) and threw a temper tantrum. Lady Who Runs A Real "Class - LET ME TELL YOU I know a lady up in Wewahitchka who runs a fine refugee shelter.

They have a comfortable home down Blue Gator Road just across the street ETAOINSHRDLU By: W when the weather report said we were going toget the brunt of a stirred up Elena. I didn't argue too much, but I did feel a little funny leaving town, when I had never left before. SWe all piled in on the 0. 0. Olivers up in Wewahitchka. The Olivers just happen to be the parents ofone of our sons-in-law, and they invited us all up. There was this lady and her home-r ade creamed corn, rice, fresh garden green beans, new potatoes out of the garden and some Oliver recipe and hand-made apple pie made from apples grown out in the back yard. esley R. Ramsey from Jehu Cemetery. I'm giving you these specific instructions just in case you get caught in a storm and want a class place to go to. Let me tell you, the Olivers know how to run a disaster shelter.

You see what I mean, when I say if we have a fpw morr h,:rirn'.-p T'!"I gain 20 pounds? We had to come home Monday and get back to work. WHEN WE GOT home Monday morning, the dog, which Frenchie had fastened in the bathroom, hadn't messed up the bathroom and the only tree which fell in the yard belonged to our neighbors. All in all, we didn't have a bad hurricane at all. The yard was messed up and there were a couple of trees which were leaning and may die, but Frenchie and I fared pretty well. If we have to do it again, I hope the hurricane comes a few weeks later in the season, so Mrs. Oliver, our shelter keeper, can have some scuppernongs on hand to make some of her famous scuppernong pies with. . just to give a little variety to the menu, you know. THIS IS BEING written before all the damage reports were in, but I feel safe in saying not everyone had it as well as our family. As for instance, there was our pastor, Dr. Dan Duncan, who had his belongings destroyed when the Long Avenue Baptist Church' pastorium burned during the first visit from Elena. I'll give Brother Dan credit, he was giving thanks nobody was hurt while all the time, he and Miss Barbara must have been hurting terribly inside from the loss of their belongings. Luckily some of Brother Dan's relics from the Civil War, which some of nis trebears had carried in the war, were salvaged and some of them were spared. There were other homes and houses-particularly out on the Pe- ninsula-which suffered extensive damage and those people didn't have it so well. However, the storms have hit this part of Florida, and people have lost property and belongings before, but we're still here and we wouldn't leave. As a matter of fact, some of those people out on the Peninsula have probably already started building back. Elena kissed us ... twice ... but were all still here, ready for the next visit from her successors.

Hearing To Discuss Moving Gulf's Set-Back Line Inland The Department of Natural Resources is attempt- ing to place even more stringent controls on coastal building here in Gulf County. Dewayne Manuel, county building officer, it appears as if Gulf is the testing ground for the new concept which is scheduled to take the place of a set-back line established about four years ago. According to legal advertisements and displays placed in the Gulf County Courthouse, the new set back lines would move the lines for building without state permission another 200 feet landward from the high Water line. ,Already the building line has been, established at 70 feet from the shore. Inside this set-back designation, property owners must get special permits from the state in order to build, and meet certain standards. Primarily, the buildings must be built on stilts which will raise the floor to a point 12 feet above sea level.

Identification Cards for Sen- ior Citizens wishing to take advantage of this program are located in the office of the principal at all schools lo- cated throughout Gulf Coun- ty. According to School Super- intendent B. Walter Wilder, "The decision of the Gulf County School Board to offer this advantage to our Senior Citizens is an absolutely marvelous move. Our Senior Citizens are an important resource to the schools and we are most anxious to have them involved in all our activities." call Shorty 229-6798 Commercial Residential \ Remodeling and Service Work 26 Years Experience Licensed and Bonded Reg.

Rish said, "As I understand it, you want us to meet with EEOC and get them to accept their first agreement with us, which was introduced by Mr. Peters two weeks ago". Peters objected, saying he didn't introduce the previous list. "I was just going by the official record right here". Rish said. The Commission told Rish he understood their wishes correctly and to proceed with the negotiations. INSURANCE EVAPORATING Clerk Alden Farris said the City had been notified its carrier of many years would no longer write commer- cial liability for the City and that its automobile insurance would nearly double, if the coverage could be placed at all. Clerk Farris said, "We were told by Travellers that we were the last city in Florida to be covered by them last year and they would not re-new the insurance for another year. "That type coverage is just not available anywhere", Farris said. He pointed out most cities are also experiencing tremendous increase on their auto- mobile coverage. The Commission instructed Far- ris to see if there was some kind of coverage available before the next meeting of the Commission, when it would be considered. OTHER BUSINESS In other business matters, the City: -Heard several complaints about drainage, pot-holes, lack of street lights and fire hydrants in the North Port St. Joe area. The Commission said they would investigate each complaint and make the corrections where they could. -Heard a complaint from Eliza- beth Williams asked about getting rid of stray dogs. She was advised it was against the law to shoot the dogs and finally a bounty was declared of $3.00 for delivering a live stray dog to the City Dog Pound. -Two temporary variances were given: one to the school board, allowing them to locate a modular home on the Port St. Joe High School property to allow someone to live on the property, providing some security for the school complex. The Commis- sion agreed to advertise for a one year variance for Clyde Whitehead to operate his CPA business from a small building in 'his back yard. -Expressed its appreciation for the dedication to duty and work performed by City and law enforce- ment agencies in the city during the week end hurricane. The City agreed to pay each of its employees a $50.00 bonus, plus their regular pay to those who stayed on duty for the week end. -Agreed to waive charges for removing trash and debris from in front of property until the hurricane rubbish is all cleared away at which time, regular charging scales will be applied once again. -Received no bids to purchase a block on Avenue A in Port St. Joe owned by the City. The stipulation in the purchase is that the buyer must construct housing on the site. I ',, al l Phone 227.1251 205-07 Reid Ave. 00 LAST THREE DAYS!

Bless Your CChildren Before School By The Rev. Jerry R. Huft SRector, St. James' Episcopal Church To 'bless' literally means to put a 'good word' on some one. In the language of the Old Testament, a blessing Swas generally a material one. For instance, in Pro- ;verbs 11:22 it says, "The S; blessing of the Lord makes r you rich, and adds no sorrow 'with it." The New Testament Emphasizes more of a spiritu- al element in its blessings. EThis is reflected in the words -of St. Paul, when he said, "I 'know that when I shall come Eto you, I shall come in the Sfullness of the blessing of 'Christ." (Rompns 15:29) For believers, a blessing ,has two aspects. There is the ,material side of a blessing, -but there is also the spiritual side. All concerned parents will do everything possible to insure their child's material [vell being. The back-to- tchool sales in August and .September demonstrate that -merchants are aware of the jirge to give children every- thing they might need. But not every parent has considered the vastly more urgent need for their child to .receive spiritual blessings. Vulnerable children and youth find themselves thrown together into circum- stances over which they have ii6 control. They are trans- ported in full bus loads of unruly companions. In their classrooms, they sit in as- signed seats. They are told when to stand, walk, eat, talk and exercise. They are given *homework assignments which must be completed before the next class. In 'general their lives are con- tfrolled by commandments, and punctuated by the ring- ing of bells. As anyone can 4m! - see they need all the spiritual assistance they can get. The importance of praying for our children cannot be over-emphasized. Each day they confront temptations and trials which would tax the spiritual stamina of any adult. And they are continu- ally faced with the challenge of decisions which can be life altering. Our students must encounter temptations and decisions without the benefit of either the experience or the broad based knowledge of more mature people. A pa- rent's prayer can be the crucial difference in this stressful environment. The community, more es- pecially the parents, ought to be praying for the .entire school system. All of us should be asking Almighty God to affect the attitudes and skills of every person who is involved in the educa- tion process. * The school board, bus mechanics, teachers, cust- odians, cooks, administra- tors, maintenance crews, secretaries, the superinten- dent, and the students all must approach their work with the proper attitudes. Breakdowns anywhere in the system can hinder the goals of public education. The goals of education all find their focus in the stu- dents. These students need moral power to overcome their, confusion, doubts, alid fears, as they go through the awesome task of growing up in an information oriented society. They need superna- tural guidance if they are to make right-minded deci- sions, and. they must have godly endurance to resist the burdensome 'temptations of life. Without this guidance and endurance, educational goals will be missed., No student should have to FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF YOUR LIFE See us for ...

They need the assur- ance that God is on their side. Parents can help their child- ren gain this confidence.by blessing them each day. As -a loving parent gives their student a lunch, or lunch money, that parent can also give a blessing: Let the children hear their parents ask God to protect them from harm, to open their minds to learning, and to close their eyes to temptation.. If we pray for our schools and those who labor there, our student's days will go better, and so will those of the parents. So parents, whatever else you do, don't send your children to school before you have blessed them. Read Numbers 6:22-27 for a pattern. Reception to Honor Sassers Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

This dedication is in recognition of the. first 50 years of Florida State -Parks- "The Real Florida". By the end of the Great Depressibn-of the 1930's, Florida had acquired and partially developed nine new state parks to take advantage of a Federal employ- ment program known as the Civilian Conservation Corps. Such well-known parks as Florida Caverns, Fort Clinch, Highlands Hammock and Myakka River were joined in providing quality outdoor recreational opportunities through the years by additional acquisitions, such as John Pennekamp Coral Reef, Blue Spring, Lake Kissimmee and St. Joseph .Peninsula. After 50 years of growth, the Florida State Park System contains over 125 separate units. These areas are managed as examples of. the original domain, "The Real Florida", for our enrichment now and.for all times. During 1985, each park will help commemorate the system's'first 50 years . by sponsoring special events.

Shirley Shuler Now Has A "CDA" On Her Name The National Dental As- sisting Board has announced. that Shirley Shuler can now add theprofessional designa- tion, CDA, after her name. The letters denote her new status as a certified dental assistant, which was award- ed to her on August 9, after she had passed a rigorous' examination.' Since the CDA' program was established in 1948 some 100,000 dental assistants-have been certified. The Dental Assisting National Board de- signs and administers the test which gauges the work- irig knowledge of the candi- date. In addition to passing the test, consisting of some 300 questions, a candidate must meet certain eligibility re- quirements of education and experience,, dependent on which certification he or she desires. The Board offers' certification not only for general chairside competen- 'ce, but also for mastery of ,management skills and in the techniques of surgical assist- ing.- As a certified dental assist- ant, she has demonstrated command -of a number of subjects such as hygiene, sanitation, radiation health and.safety, and laboratory procedures.

Tony Fleming was the only Commissioner to cast a nay vote in the matter. Commissioner Jack Taylor was not present at the meeting, but had previously said he backed the Mayor in his actions. Commissioners Ralph Rish and Jack Husband sided with the Mayor to remove Glass from his duties. Glass had refused direction from the Commission to attend special refresher course classes for law. enforcement officers, conducted at Gulf Coast Community College. Glass pointed out in a prior meeting with the Commission that he had successfully completed a 360 hour course and said, "I don't want to go back". The courses are required by the State of Florida for a law enforcement officer to remain certified to do his job. Glass maintained he was "grand- fathered in" his position because he was an active law enforcement officer when the state law went into effect. Mayor Traylor said the City had contacted the Florida Law Enforce- ment Agency and found that all officers must take the refresher courses to remain certified. The certification is mandatory to main- taining a position with a law agency. Traylor said it was necessary that Glass take the course.

Sheriff Al Harrison said there was virtually no looting reported in' the county. "There has been none reported to us", he said. Meanwhile, several members of the National Guard were stationed' in front' of stores with broken windows -to protect them from potential looters. The looters never showed up, but the Guard was there if they should be needed. - J'All in all, we're lucky and we had a good effort from everybody with duties to perform"; Chief'Maige said.

SEPT. 5. 1985 Witten Tells Rotary of Public Defender's Office 'This fence was pulled up by exposed roots of a large tree which was uprooted by the winds of Hurricane Elena. Many experienced small damage like the one above, a piece of tin roofing, hanging from a naked rafter. Fred Witten explained some of the activities of the Public Defender's office to the Rotary Club last Thurs- day. Witten is the assistant public defender, serving Gulf County. Virgil Q. Mayo of Blounts- town is the Circuit's Public Defender and has been ever since the office was created following the famous "Gi- deon decision". Mayo main- tains an office in each of the seven counties in the Circuit. Witten is in charge of the Gulf County office. Witten said the office pro- vides legal representation for those being tried on criminal charges who cannot afford to hire an attorney. "There is a formula for arriving at that determination", Witten said. Witten said "Many clients are guilty, but still deserve a defense to protect their rights under the law. Many are guilty of wrong-doing, but many are not guilty of the charges placed against them." Witten said the Public Defender operates in the Circuit on an $800,000 budget and handles most of the criminal cases which come into court. There are 10 attorneys' retained through- out the Circuit to do the work of the Public Defender. Witten defended plea bar- gaining as a tool for meting out justice and saving the tax payers money.

If natural development of them has not been ideal, they can be improved by vis- ual training. Among the nec- essary skills aret * DEPTH PERCEPTION- the ability to judge rela- tive distances of objects and to see and move ac- curately in three-dimen- sional space. * PERIPHERAL VISION- the ability to see and inter- pret what is happening off to your side while seeing straight ahead of you. * BINOCULARITY the ability to use both eyes together in a natural, sim- ultaneous, accurate way. * TRACKING the ability to follow a moving object smoothly. * FIXATION the ability to locate and see a series of statoinary objects in se- quence. * FOCUS CHANGE the ability to look quickly from near to far or from far to near without blur- ring vision. Only a complete eye ex- amination can discover defi- ciencies in these basic visual skills, so that corrective-ac- tion can be taken.
