"The clean-up from Elena took a little over a month and Kate left far more damage and debris than Elena. On top of that, our street crews have many more tasks they have to perform at this time of the year which gets in the way of devoting all of our time cleaning up after the storm". In the photo above, the City's dragline loads some of the larger piles of debris into a huge 14-cubic-yard dump truck to be carried off.

The Star will be printed and come to you early next week, the publishers said this week. With Christmas falling on Wednesday-ordinarily the main production and distribution day for the paper-The Star will be printed on Monday of next week and will be placed in the Post Office on Monday evening for distribution Tuesday. The early publication day enables the staff at The Star to take a few days off; something they cannot normally do and maintain the regular publication date week after week. Monday's edition of The Star will contain all Christmas greeting advertising and all letters written to Santa Claus by county children.. The newspaper will resume normal publication schedules on the following week, although working around the New Year holiday will necessitate some shifting of deadlines. parently it had to do with the illegal redfish incident. The younger Raffield, who sells his catch to Raffield Fisheries, caught some 70,- 000 pounds of illegal size redfish just a little over two months after a statute had been approved which pro- hibited more than one redfish over 32 inches in length in' a catch. Randy Raffield had some 4,000 redfish which were more than 32 inches long and was,fined in County Court for the action. Raffield said he didn't know about the restrictive law at the time. Raffield says the matter would.have been given only scant attention by authorities if he had not been a member of the Florida Marine Fisher- ies Commission, charged with finding means to protect: Florida's fishing industry. Raffield says he is the target of people who want him off the committee. Gov't, Offices Closing Several government, business and public ser- vice offices will be closing for the Christmas holidays, taking extra days off dur- ing the Yule season. Public buildings will be closed starting Monday of next week, when the City Hall here in Port St. Joe will ,be closed Monday through Wednesday. The City Hall will open on. Thursday as usual. The Gulf County Court- house will be closed Christ- mas Eve and Christmas Day only, with all county offices, except the Sheriff's office also shut down. Banks in the county will close at noon on Christmas Eve and remain closed all day Christmas Day. Gulf County schools will close down for the holidays at noon Friday and remain closed until Tuesday, Jan- uary 7.

Gulf County was one of four Panhandle counties placed in the new designation as being eligible for public disaster assistance Friday of last week. Officials of the county, cities in the county and other public entities gathered in Apalachicola Tuesday to be presented with guidelines on securing federal aid to pay for Repairs and clean-up from Hurricane Kate, which hit the Panhandle about eight miles west of Port St. Joe a week prior to Thanksgiving. 'Gulf was already included in a group of three counties which had individual assist- ance available but only received the designation for public assistance last Friday. Included with Gulf in the new designation were Franklin, Wakulla, Liber- ty and Leon cotil'ie. Other designations were Gadsden, to receive public assistance only and Calhoun and Jefferson which will receive individual assistance only, Larry Wells, Civil Defense director, said Gulf County officials were briefed Tuesday on how to fill out forms for the, federal aid. The aid will be made available to local governments and non-profit services to cover costs of necessary debris removal, road repair, sanitary services repair and protective services. Wells said the debris removal to be funded can be that which endangers the public from a health standpoint or interferes with public ser- vices. Wells said representatives of Federal M M^ - Kids have only 24 hours to get their letter written to Santa Claus and into The Star office for printing in the Christmas issue of the-paper next week. Preparation of next week's paper will start today, but children have until Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., to get their letters to The Star office. All letters received m time will be printed in the newspaper and forwarded Emergency Management Agency will be in the Gulf-Franklin county area possibly late this week to begin the job of assessing damages and the cost of repair. "It means the county, the cities and others will have to keep some very complete records in'order to recover any of the cost df storm damage repair or clean-up", Wells said. "Much of the work has already beei .done, and it remains to be seen whether or not the record keeping is acceptable to the FEMA officials." Like the individual assistance, public assistance is available only for damage not covered by insurance or where insurance coverage was inadequate. The assistance will be available on a 75-25 percent basisT Assitance will be available for 75 percent of damage expense and the public fund isi responsible for 25 percent of the expense. OFFICE STILL OPEN In the meantime, the local assistance application office is still open in the Port St. Joe. fire station. The office was originally scheduled to be open only through last: Wednesday. Wells said the FEMA officials: decided to keep the office open through. Friday of. this week and are still taking. applications for assistance. Even after the office is closed, Gulf County residents may initiate a request for assistance by contacting the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services office at 224-A Reid Avenue in Port St. Joe or call 1-639-5598. City Eligible forn - Disaster Money Clerk Alden Farris advised the City Commission Tuesday night the city is eligible for federal assistance for disaster recovery from hurricane Kate. "We're eligible for receiving funds, but I'm real dubious about how much we can finally receive because of the nature of the guidelines for making application", he'told the Board. Farris said intricate record- keeping is mandatory for receiving, any federal aid and nearly three weeks have already, gpne by before the guidelines were made known. "We have already had some 'pretty hefty..expenditures", Farris said after the meeting. "I'm not sure if we'll be able to recover any of that money or not". In reporting to the Commission, Farris made the suggestion that all city employees be given a $50.00 bonus for work in storm clean-up and superintendents receive a bonus, of $100.00. The bonuses were in addition to the overtime pay they had already received for their long hours of restoring services. Farris' recommendation was approved by a 3-1 vote with Commissioner Peters voting against the measure. Commissioner Alton Fennell was absent for Tuesday's meeting. Peters had more to say about pay before the night was over. First, he stated the city was discrimin- ating against the Police Department by not giving them holiday pay. S Mayor Frank Pate said he had received no complaints from any policeman in this matter in nearly 20 years in which he had been Mayor. Chief Bob Maige said none of his men had complained to him and Commissioners Billy Fleming and J. B. Roberts also said they had not been approached on holiday pay. Clerk Farris said the members of the Police Department had been paid holiday pay as per city policy. Peters Still insisted there were Patrol- men who didn't get paid for Thanksgiving, but refused to give a name. Commissioner Billy Fleming said he intended to investigate peters' charges and told the Commission, "I'll be looking at you if I find out your charges are not true". Roberts asked Peters if he had discussed the matter with Clerk Farris before bringing it up before the Commission, but Peters didn't answer. Another pay dispute brought up by Peters was his objections to paying city employees who didn't work on the day of', hurricane Kate and the manner in which the pay was approved. Mayor Pate again defended the city action by saying, "I feel we owed it to them. It wasn't their fault they couldn't work and since they don't earn the highest salary around, I feel we should have paid them .Ag- we did". Peters then asked by what authority the payments were made since it hadn't been brought up in a meeting. Clerk Alden Farris said, "I called Commissioners Alton Fennel, Bill Fleming Benny Roberts and Mayor Pate before making the payments and they all approv- ed". "Why didn't you call me?" Peters asked. "I tried, but you told me later you were in Washington, D.C." Farris said. "Oh, that's right, I was", Peters said. CONSIDERING MANAGEMENT Mayor Pate told the Commission the Tripart committee was looking favorably at investigating the possibility of hiring a management firm to operate the Wastewa- ter Treatment Plant. "There are several firms getting into that business, now, and the committee wants to look into the possibility of hiring managers for our plant", Pate said. The Tripart committee is made up of representatives of St. Joe Paper Company, Sylvachem and the City of Port St. Joe. Commissioner Fleming, the City's representative on the committee, told the Commission Tuesday he was unable .to (Continued on Page 6) on to Santa Claus in time for his - inspection prior to his annual Christmas::: journey. : S The Star would prefer to have the: letters written by the children them-.! selves, as the language and methods f : expression are priceless at times.

We have all become accustomed to giving, helping," doing for others and offering what aid or assist- ance we can to our neighbors, friends, acquaintances and stran- gers. The attitude toward others should spill over into the holidays and make our Christmas this year one of giving rather than one of receiving. Three visits from damaging hurricanes in the Gulf County area during the past three months has caused us to learn to assist others in need and share what we have with others who have had their .belongings and basic needs de- stroyed or damaged by the storms. We have learned to recognize the needs of others without having to have the needs brought specifically .to our attention or hear a need proclaimed by some church or agency. The hurricanes prompted groups of young able-bodied men to clear the yards of the elderly and the widowed, the handicapped and the disabled. Without the asking, these young people have pitched in and performed tasks for--people they could not do themselves. It took the three hurricane visits to do it, but we have been taught here in our county of the blessedness of giving, which is also the true spirit of Christmas. With this introduction to help- ing others, forced on us by Mother. Nature, we are now ready to observe the Christmas season in the manner in which it should be observed. Somehow, we feel this Christ- mas will mean more to many of us than it has ever meant before. For this reason, we feel the damage we suffered from these recent storms can't be considered all bad. There's more than a little bit of profit we have received from our misfortune, also. Kesley Colbert's Country Column Gary Moore Had the Wrong Panel I guess I went a little crazy last week or else I got caught' up completely in this Christ- mas thing. I bought a new T.V. set. Now, there wasn't really that much wrong with our old set; afterall, it was only 11 years old. And most of the time when you turned it on-you'd get a picture. Of course we didn't have a volume knob that had dis., appeared long ago. And the old set had been struck by lightning twice and the pic- ture had kind'a squashed toward the middle so we had about an inch of blackness on both sides it made every- body tall and skinny. It still had color though our two colors were red and green. Everything had to be either red or green. But it was a pretty red. Some of the kids would come over to the house to watch a football game and they'd sit there politely for a while and then finally someone would clear his throat and say "Coach, I think the Dolphins have blue uniforms." And another one would add "I bet those poor folks in Miami are not pre- pared for all the snow they're having." I bit the bullet, paid the nice fella in the store .over $300.00 and eased that T.V. back to the house when I knew no one would be home. Boy howdy, was.I going to surprise my family on Christmas morning! I hid the T.V. in my clock shed out back. The boys know not to go into the clock shed. To be doubly safe, I laid a blanket and some old newspapers over the box. Then I locked the clock shed. That evening I sat down on my back porch so I could kind'a keep on eye on the clock shed and I got to think- ing about the first T.V. my Dad brought home. Now this wasn't the first television that I'd ever seen. I'd been around. We were playing hide-and-go-seek down at Richard and Linda Gregg's house one night and I peeped through the window at their set. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg were a'watching some show called "I've Got A Secret". The guest would whisper a secret into Gary Moore's ear and Jane Meadows, Henry Morgan, Betsy Palmer and Bill Cullen would try to guess what it was. The guest's sec- ret that night was that she was the widow of Casey Jones, the famed engineer. Henry and the group didn't Mean More even come close and the nice lady won $80.00. I also had seen part of a baseball game at Paul David Campbell's house. I don't remember who was playing but Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese were the announcers and as you might well imagine, it was sponsored by a beer company. Yes sir, I'd been around, so when Dad turned on our very own television, it was the third set I'd ever seen. It was a Saturday because we watched "Have Gun Will Travel" and then got ready for "Gunsmoke". There was gunsmoke right off as Matt Dillon stepped out into the street and shot a man even before the first commercial. I never did find out what the bad guy had done. Late that night we watched live studio wrestling over WJBB-TV. The main event was Frank "Tarzen" Huewit and To-Jo Yakamota. Wrestling back in those days was brought to you by Mother's Best flour. Herb Welch, the channel 7 weather man who doubled as the wrestling announcer did the Mother's Best flour com- mercials live. Between Johnston Starts Parade It's our information that State President Harry Johnston is going to pay a visit to Gulf County this week in the interest of his cam- paign for Governor of Florida. The candidate is coming to Port St. Joe, we imagine, for the purpose of building up support for his candidacy. We can think of no other reason he might be visiting with us. At the rate high-powered sup- port and running mates have been abandoning the Johnston campaign for one reason or another, we can sympathize with his need to gather all the support he can muster for his s1tpring attempt ,tp.,get hiS, ca nbigh rolling~ en the..small number of voter support he might be able to stir up here in little Gulf County. With the first of the year right around the corner in which the voters of Florida will select a new e onslaught-which will probably upon us the. first of the year. L~ator Johnston is the first of ait will probably turn into a regular parade of hopefuls for the Gubernatorial post early in the year. As election time draws near, the candidates will concentrate their efforts on the larger counties in the state. As time goes on we will see if the defections from Senator John- ston's campaign was because of favors refused or clashes in ideologies. As time goes on we will learn more about. the candidates and Gulf County, like other coun- ties in the state, will probably throw its weight behind the candi- date which will mean the most to Gulf County. Senator Johnston, a stranger to Gulf, will be welcomed, if only to see the way he parts his hair and feels toward taxes. Thanks, Fellas! It was gratifying to us to see the state's school board members, - collectively, refuse to endorse the question of a state lottery f6r Florida to help finance education ih our state. *Personally, we would rather see Florida struggle along as it has with education than to see it take the promised easy road to paying for the education of our children. We have not had all that many problems in paying for what we need in the way of education, even if we're not spending as much as some other'states per pupil, to send them to school. The school board members' action was a rebuff for the head school man of the state, Ralph Turlington, who had endorsed the lottery plan. To us, that only proves that even the head educator of the state can be wrong, too. "C Day" Is HERE IT IS Thursday, December 19. That means it's only six more days until' Christmas day. That means I have only five more days'in which to do my Christmas shopping before our family-opens the gifts on Christmas Eve in our family room around the Christmas tree. We have sort of a mini-tradition at our house. Since the kids got married and left home, we all gather with the grandchildren and the brood at our house on Christmas Eve and open the gifts and do a little Christmas eating, etc. That leaves the kids free to go to their spouses' parents home on Christmas Day or do their thing at. home on Christmas day. Christmas Eve is usually the biggest day of the year at our house. The tables are laden, the area in and around the tree is filled to overflowing with gaily wrapped packages, grand- children which are outside feel they must come inside and the ones inside have a compelling urge to go outside . . no matter if it's raining, sleeting, hot, cold or freezing. The same urges exist. The only mystery Christmas Nearly Here and IStii holds for me any more is how the doors take the annual Christmas Eve mini-tradition at our house. +++++ WITH TODAY BEING Thursday, sprinkled around town, six and five in-laws, plus a wife plenty of suggestions as to wl make whom happy. +++++ ETAOQINSHRDLU By: W L December 19, it means I have to get on the stick with my Christmas shopping. So far, I'm ashamed to say, I haven't been Christmas shopping. Everybody around me has their Christmas shopping already done and here I haven't even started with mine. To make matters worse, I don't have the foggiest notion of what I will get for whom for a Christmas gift. I have a lot of suggestions, you understand. With 11 grandchildren l Haven't Starte childrenn I have it would one, so it's back to the drawing board 'with Richard. Steven is 16 and has just received his first driver's license.

From all indications, I could get by here if I were to spring for a fancy surfboard and a wet suit. Since my expertise isn't in surfboards and wet suits, I would be afraid to grant this Christmas wish for fear I would get something no 16-year-old wizard of the waves would be caught washed-out with. Then there's 12-year-old Bill. Bill would like something from another Bill Bill Blas. He would be d My Gift perfectly content with a Bill Bias outfit and a year's supply of Brut. The year's supply of Brut I could manage, but the Bill Bias designed wardrobe will probably have to wait Chris is also 12 and he, too, is beginning to notice the girls-or the girls are beginning to notice him, I don't know which-and a bad set of threads would suit him keen. Like buying the present for Bill it's been a long time since I have been in the courting business and really knew what was "in" and what was definitely "out". Michael is 15 and is the studious one of the bunch. He wants a computer. Nothing like getting some- thing useful but I can't have him having more help than he already has with his grey matter in out-figuring me. Eleven-year-old Randy is mostly looking forward to the big meal on Christmas Eve and maybe a few illegal fire-crackers smuggled in from somewhere. I can assure Randy of at least one of those expectations coming true on Christmas Eve. Eric and Wes are a happy-go- hopping luck nine and eight. They don't care if the sun rises or not, as long as they have plenty to eat, a little money to go to the store and the neighbors' kids to play with. Eric is a tight-wad, so he will want money to save. Wes is a nut, so he will want something to give him joy and pester his parents with on Christmas Day. The other Chris is 15 and he is into skate boards right now. He said something the other day about a "half pipe". I have a piece of one at home. I'll just saw it down the middle and give him half of it. Erin and DeAnna are the only little girls in the tribe, so they usually get what they want all year long. For Christmas, all they want is what they see on the TV commercials and advertised in The Star. They're typical girls-they want everything. and come close to getting it. +++++ BUT, WHAT DO I want for Christmas? What do I have on my list? That's simple. I want all those other people to get what they want and for you to get what you want.

Eye Openers by Dr. Wesley Grace VUDEI CASSETTE PLAYERS Viewing video cassette movies at home is becoming a national pastime, with lit- tle or no regard for the visual environment in which they are shown. Since video cassettes have no commer- cials, there is less chance that you will get up intermit- tently and walk away from the screen, giving your eyes a rest and an opportunity to change focus. Follow these simple guide- lines to avoid eyestrain: 1. Be sure the picture is clear and stable. 2. Keep your screen clean to avoid small blurs. 3. Keep reflections from other light sources away from the screen. 4. Look away from the screen, for a moment now and then, to interrupt pro- longed staring. 5. Do not sit too close to the screen. 6. If you normally wear glasses for distances of more than two feet, wear /them for watching movies at home. 7. Keep a soft light on in the room where the movie is being shown. 8.

HIGHWAY 98 WEST PHONE (904) (Highway 98 west of Highland View Builders and Erectors c Building Component and Trusses Built to your blueprint specifications WE DELIVER John Sealey, retired sea $21 Million Land Sale Details for last week's story about the big land sale here in Gulf County were sort of sketchy since the sale hadn't been consummated at the time and still has not been fully recorded, accord- ing to Gulf County officials. Since last week, it has been learned the Northwest Flor- ida Water Management District purchased some 73,- 000 acres of environmentally sensitive land under the Save Our Rivers Program. Floodplain land along the Apalachicola River region accounted for some 36,000 acres of the purchase. According to Davage Run- nels, chairman of the water district's board, the purchase "ensures that major parts of the river floodplain will remain protected, productive and as open to the public as possible." River bottomlands in this area are heavily used by local residents for hunting, fishing, bird watching and other recreation. The district plans to allow as much public access as possible and meet- ings will be held in February in Apalachicola to give citi- zens a chance to tell officials how they want it used. The NFWMD paid South- west Forest Industries $21 million for the 36,000 acres, rather than $4 million as reported in last week's issue of The Star. To pay for the land, the water management district authorized the sale of 20- year bonds to be repaid with proceeds from state doc- umentary stamp taxes. The map accompanying this article, shows the land purchased along the Apala- chicola River and Brothers River areas set out by the diagonal lines on the map. captain, spoke to the Rotary Club Thursday, telling them how he came to follow a life at 45 years on the largest and smallest vessels which ply the sealanes of the world. "I have visited nearly every country in the world", said Sealey, "and the mgin thing I learned during my340 years at sea was that there is no country in the world ike the United States. I never took a trip but what I was relieved and glad to get bock to the good old United States". j Sealey said he went to'sea when he was 15. "I just walked down to the docks here in Port St. Joe onegday during World War II and took off on a tugboat", he said. "Later on I lied about myage when I was 16 years oldjand got a berth on one of thd big -ships and I stayed there bntil the end of my career, when I retired recently". Sealey said the last shp he was captain of was the nost interesting point of all hose years. "It was a specialbuilt ship to handle heavy cargoes such as nuclear power plants", he said. "The ship was equipped to hand the tremendous loads of the nuclear plants and we car- ried the whole plart on board, delivering the-n all over the world". Prior to his duty aboard the specialized freighter, Sealey worked mostly for G'lf Oil, commanding tankers, some so large they couldn. even come into port. He shid he participated in the Fussian grain lift, which was shipped in tankers, sailing on to the Persian Gulf and b-inging home a cargo of oil. "The ocean is a big -lace", he said. "It takes twc weeks to cross the Atlantic and four weeks to cross the Pacific". Sealey said the longest trip he ever took was one which started on the easte-n sea- board, took his ship to the Capetown, South Africa, then "In most of the ports to the Persian Gulf and back world, I found the to the United States, all working the docks was without leaving the ship; -'It- men like us, tryifg'tub m was too risky getting off", he living for his family said. minding his own businE of the man s just ake a a' and ess."

Most homeowners kill their plants with kindness - literally that is. .Overwatering and over- fertilizing often'cause more problems than a lack of these essentials for plant growth. ,Keep the following ideas in mind and your plants will be with you for many years to come. First of all, there is no such thing as a house plant, a CARTER plant intended to grow inside a home, office or other building. When plants are PUBLIC NOTICE Notification is hereby given to the public of the intent of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reimburse eligible local ,governments and state agencies for eligible costs incurred to repair all publically-owned facilities damaged as a result of Hurricane Kate. The areas affected are the counties of Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Leon, Liber- ty and Wakulla in the State of Florida, which was declared a major disaster area by the President on December 3, 1985. This assistance is granted under the authority of Public Law 93-288 as amended, the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. This 'notice concerns those facilities which are within the base of one percent chance floodplain (also known as the 100-year floodplain), or the critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. These facilities may have adverse effects upon the floodplain or may be vulnerable to damage by flooding if they are restored to pre- disaster condition. These facilities include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Non-emergency debris clearance. 2 .Non-emergency repair to protective flood control and protective coastal facilities. 3. Damage to roads, including streets, culverts and bridges. 4. Damage to water control facilities. 5 Damage to public buildings and related facilities. 6. Damage to public utilities. 7. Damage to private non-profit faci- lities (hospitals, educational faci- lities, emergency, utility, and custodial care services) The president's Executive Order 11988 on Floodplain Management re- quires that all Federal actions in or af- fecting the base floodplain be review- ed for opportunities to relocate out of the floodplain or to minimize future dam* om flooding. FEMA has S determind-that for certain types of facilities, there are normally no alter- natives to restorationinthe floodplain. These are facilities which meet all of the following criteria: 1.The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50% of the estimated replacement cost of the entire facility and is less than o00,000.00. 2. The facility Is not located in the floodway or coastal high hazard area. 3. The facility has not sustained struc- tural damage in a previous Presi- dentially-declared flooding major disaster or emergency. The facility Is not a critical one. FEMA intends to provide assistance for the restoration of the facilities described above to their pre-disaster condition except that certain measures to mitigate the effects of future flooding may be incorporated into the restoration work. This will be the only notice to the public concern- ing these facilities. Other facilities which do not fall into one of the four criteria listed above, are required to undergo more detailed reviews, including study of alternative locations. The public is invited to par- ticipate in the process of identifying alternatives and analyzing their im- pacts. Details on how to obtain infor- mation on specific projects and on the submission of comments will be found at the end of this notice. Further ex- planation on the final determination on the restoration of these facilities will be given in subsequent notices. Because of the urgent need for some facilities of the type described in the previous paragraph, an applicant may have already started restoration of a facility when the Federal Inspector visited the site. Some of these facilities would normally fall into the category requiring examination of alternative sites. These facilities will be restored in their original location based upon the following rationale. One of the following situations ap- plies in each case:, 1. The facility is functionally depen- dent on its floodplain location. 2. The project facilitates open space use. 3. The facilities are an integral part of a larger network which would be uneconomical to relocate. Additionally, the possible effects of not restoring the facility were examin- ed. In each case, there was an over- riding public need for the facility which clearly'outweighed the order's requirements to avoid the floodplain and which made non-floodplain sites not practicable. FEMA also consulted * with State and local officials and ac- - tioins which'ill be carried out do not violate either State or local floodplain protection standards. The restoration of these facilities also will incorporate certain measures designed to mitigate the effects of future flooding. Interested persons may obtain infor- mation about these actions and their loctions at the Office of the Federal .raator at 5050 West Tennessee, fallahassee, Florida 32304 or by call- ing (904) 576-8106 between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Fri- day. Comments about specific pro- jects and the application of the Floodplain Management Executive Order to them should be submitted in writing to Paul E.

Sculley, second from right, was the lucky recipient of a $100.00 Savings Bond given away by the John C. Gainous Post 10069 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Also present for the awarding of the bond were Ladies' Auxiliary President Mrs. James Dumas, Post Advocate James Dumas and George S. Coody, Post Quartermaster, at right. grown indoors several re- strictions are imposed upon them. Lack of sufficient light and low humidity are probab- ly the most severe restric- tions but temperatures can, also be a problem. Many foliage plants prefer a relatively strong, filtered or diffused light. Places near windows or light fixtures are usually suitable, but avoid direct sunlight or very dark areas of the home. Flowering plants such as mums and poinsettias will stand more light than foliage plants and should be placed in bright areas. Watering is one of the chief causes of failure with plants in the home, especially for containers which don't have drainage holes. Generally speaking, most house plants will require a thorough soak- ing once a week. Water only when necessary and don't let the pots stand in saucers of water unless the plants are very tolerant to excess wa- ter. Overwatering can kill the plant roots and increase chance of diseases and even- tually kill the entire plant. A The only president to un- dergo impeachment proceed- ings (he was acquitted by one vote), Andrew Johnson was also the first ex-president to serve later in the Senate. Use old Christmas cards to decorate large boxes that are expensive and awk- ward to wrap. Cut illustra- tions off cards and glue them to the box in a montage-effect. It's like making a patchwork quilt. Most plants grow well in temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees. Don't place the plants in drafty locations where sudden changes in- temperature occur and dont: place plants close to radia- tors or air conditioners. Proper fertilization is an- other important part of grow- ing healthy plants. Follow all the directions on the contain- ers so that you don't overfer- tilize your plants. Too much fertilizer can eventually kill your plants. Watch for common symp- toms of foliage plants trou- bles which are as follows: Yellowing and dropping of leaves can be caused by gas fumes, chilling, overwa- tering, poor drainage and poor aeriation. Weak growth or light green or yellow leaves indicate too intense light, lack of fertiliz- er or a poor root system. Brown tips or burned mar- gins of leaves caused by too much fertilizer, plants dried out temporarily or wind burn.

Sixty five runners from around the county participated in the event. Local runner, James Hanlon entered the 50K (30 miles) race. James placed number 14 overall, second in his age group with a time of 3:59;04. The temperature was in the 20's, a major factor in the race. Sandra Kiddy of Palm Springs, California set the U.S. Women's record for a 100 mile road race covering the distance in 15:12:54. allowed in most areas. The reason rests in the interest of public safety and the public's perception of armed hunters on a roadway. Although there have been no incidents of hunters acci- dentally shooting passersby on Florida highways, the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, seeking to pre- vent just such a situation, enacted a road hunting rule in 1983 designed to set hunters away from road- ways. The rule makes it illegal to hunt from the right-of-way of any federal, state or county maintained road. Some roads in Type I and II wildlife management areas can be exempted from the rule provided they are completely surrounded by management area lands. Wildlife authorities, say most hunters have responded well to the regulation, but some arrests have been made.

Both are likely to claim a 24 lives, many as a r alcohol related accic way Pa- It is predicted that 15 diction, persons will die on Florida's Traffic streets and highways during coming the Christmas holiday per- Year's iod. This amounts to one holidays death every' two hours total of throughout the 30 hour per- result of iod, beginning 6 p.m., Tues- etits. day, December 24 and ending midnight Wednesday, De- cember 25. Colonel Bobby R. Burkett, Director of the Florida High- way Patrol, stated; "If last year is any indicator 60 percent, ,or nine traffic deaths will.be alcohol rela- ted. A majority of the fatal crashes willoccur on straight and level.roads during clear weather conditions at night- time." Department records reveal that in addition to driving under the influence, careless driving, violations of right.of way, and speeding rank as the most often cited factors as contributing to those fatal crashes. The New Year's holiday period is expected to account for nine deaths over a similar 30 hour period which will begin 6 p.m., Tuesday, De- cember 31, and continue until midnight Wednesday, Janu- ary 1, 1986 According to Colonel Burkett: "During: this period we traditionally experience the highest per- centage of alcohol related' crashes of the year. Every available trooper will be on the road during these periods paying special attention to the impaired driver; Motor- ists who observe a ,driver thought to be impaired are advised to contact FHP with a vehicle description, loca- tioti anddirection of travel so we can hopefully stop the vehicle before tragedy oc- curs." Burkett also noted that. 93 percent of all drivers and passengers killed in last year's Christmas and New Year's holiday periods were not using seat belts, even! though they were available "Seat belts do save lives. The majority of those killed last year could be alive today had they buckled up," he stated. "Our main objective is to reduce the needless loss of lives and human suffering that results from traffic accidents.. Enforcing DUI Laws will be our top priority during these holiday per- i6ds," concluded Colonel Burkett.
