USPS 518-880 FORTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 42 Industry-Deep Water Port-Fine People-Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1987 School Board Wants Jaycees Resume Work On Park Jaycees Chris Acree and Jef Gardner, were at work on the club project of building a boardwalk overwalk across the dunes at the county park property at Beacon Hill Tuesday morning of this week. The Jaycees have undertaken the project of developing some property which the federal government recently turned over to the county to be used for recreational purposes. The boardwalk is the first phase of the property development and is nearing completion. Originally, the Jaycees had planned to put an overlook platform in the middle of their boardwalk, just to the left of where Acree is shown in the photo above. The Department of Natural Resources has been delaying a permit for the change in plans for the structure, so the Jaycees have decided to go ahead with their project and come back to the platform construction at a later date if the permit is approved by DNR in the future. The park, located at the old lighthouse property at Beacon Hill, contains property which allows public access to the water. In addition to the boardwalk, the Jaycees are planning a parking lot on the east side of highway 98 and public restroom facilities in the initial stage. Subsequent stages in the long range plan calls for picnic areas, playground equipment placement, etc. The site includes approximately 40 acres. Two Cars Collide In Heavy Rainstorm Two cars collddp ndq n woman S suffered c"stinjuriesn a colJision on the north slope of the Overpass Saturday afternoon, according to the .Port StA.JoeJ.yce QDeagrliitQ.t.. ... A vehicle driven by William Alvin Lucas, 24, was headed north on Highway 98 in a heavy downpour of Two Wewahitchka Men Are Charged with Stealing Wire The Gulf County Sheriff's De- partment recovered a quantity of stolen copper wire, seven chain saws and a number of personal items taken from a Wewahitchka home this past week, according to the Gulf County Sheriff's Department. Two men were arrested in con- nection with the theft, which included taking the saws and 329 pounds of wire. Arrested were Robert James Wright, 26 and Charles McArthur Scott, Jr., 23, both of Wewahitchka. The two were arrested after they sold a quantity of copper wire to a Panama City scrap dealer. Sheriff Harrison said evidence which surfaced after the arrests also implicated the men in the burglary of a home in Wewahitchka. Scott has been released on a $2,000 bond but Wright is still being held in Gulf County Jail. rain, wheanthe-car suddenlybegan. to -r skid while headed down the north slope of the overpass, according to the Police report. The Lucas vehicle skidded into the path of a second vehicle, headed south on Highway 98, driven by Ronni9 Gene Hogan, 31, of Port St. Joe. Hogan's mother, Mrs.- Tom Ed Hogan of Geneva, Alabama, was a passenger in the Hogan car and is still confined to a Panama City hospital with chest injuries. Officer Tim Hightower, who in- vestigated the accident, reported both cars received extensive damages. . Both Hogan and Lucas were taken to Gulf Pines Hospital, where they were examined for possible injuries and released. Hightower charged Lucas with careless driving. W.R. City Hall Would be Used for Administrative HQ The Gulf County School Board made overtures tp the City Commis- sion Tuesday night to acquire the former Ward Ridge City Hall, which was deeded over to the city in the, recent annexation procedures of last month. Mayor Frank Pate reported the Superintendent of Schools, Walter Wilder, had approached him about the building, which presently houses a portion of the school board's adminis- trative personnel. Wilder told The Star the board is interested in securing the property to provide a "drawing together" of the board's administration. "We're scat- tered all over the south end of the county", Wilder said. Although the idea of what to do with the building has just come up, Wilder said nothing has definitely been proposed. "We just see an opportunity to pull our people together and vacate the space we presently occupy in the county courthouse", he pointed out. The County Commission has expressed a desire to obtain use of the space in the courthouse occupied by school offices, but have not formally asked them to look for another place as yet. One portion of the school adminis- tration was asked to vacate their quarters in the courthouse earlier this year and moved to the Ward Ridge city hall building, where they occupy a portion of the south wing of the building. 'City and school board officials will meet Tuesday morning to discuss ~ l iesa-of the Ward Ridge buildciu. . GAS TAX APPROVED Ite took only a couple of minutes Tuesday night, for the City Commis- sion toapprove a resolution, calling on the Gulf County Commission to approve a five cent gasoline tax to be earmarked for road building and major repairs in Gulf County and its incorporated cities. Recently, Mayor Frank pate suggested the tax as "the only way we are going to get any road paving in Port St. Joe in the future". Other sources of financing of ,paving inside the city have di-ied up over the past three or four years. The Commission unanimously approved the resolution after deter- mining the taxes collected inside the City would remain inside the city. SEWER WORK Jim Jacques, an engineer with the Smith and Gillespie firm of Jackson- ville, explained to the Commission some variations of plans available to them for correcting drainage prob- lems around the Avenue A and B section around Battle Street. Jacques said a plan which would be acceptable to the Department of Environmental Regulation would carry a price tag of approximately $350,000. The City is attempting to secure grant money for the project, but Jacques said a grant is unlikely because of the high median income in the area involved in the drainage plans. Jacques also outlined a sewer collection system rehabilitation pro- ject which is currently under way by the City and for which a grant of $165,000 has been received. Jacques said three sites have been recommen- ded for replacing of piping, while other sites have been recommended for spot repairs. Scheduled for replacement are mains on Woodward Avenue from First to Third Street, including the manhole in that area; First Street between Long and Woodward and Long Avenue between First and Third Street. Jacques recommended that later data has caused him to recom- mend that an additional block of replacement be done on the down- stream side of the already approved replacement. Several other major repairs in the system include a broken line under the post office, where the main runs under the building, a broken line in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot (where the main also runs under the building), eight places on Garrison Avenue and several other isolated spots in the area lying between First and Eighth Streets and between Monument and Garrison Avenues. OTHER BUSINESS In other items of business, the Commission: -Received bids on a slope mower and a horizontal flow rotary with motor for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Low bid for the mower was for $29,694.63 from Southeastern Ford Tractor of Panama City and for the flow meter, a low bid of $9,517.39 was offered from Gulf Industrial Supply of Panama City. Both bids will be studied to see if the item offered complies with specifications. -Heard the first reading of an ordinance which would limit foreign substances which could be placed in the WWP system. -Were notified that a suit was being filed against the city in favor of Ali Suzanne Brigman of Tallahassee, for alleged injuries suffered from a merry-go-round in a City Park. No report on the injury, which happened in 1986, has ever been filed with the City and no reports made. The Commission turned the letter over to their insurer. A 17 year old youth, found dead in an automobile in White City Saturday, has been found to have died of natural causes, according to Sheriff Al Harrison. Avery Thomas Nation, 17, of Ooltewah, Tennessee, was found dead in an automobile about 7:30 Saturday morning, by his mother, Dianne Nation. The two were visiting with the James Laurimore family at White City. Young Nation had decided to sleep in the car Friday night and had gone to bed after talking with friends. "There were no signs of violence and Nation was found in a natural sleeping position", Sheriff Harrison said. Nation's remains were sent to the Medical Examiner in Panama City for an autopsy, as required by Florida law in the case of an unattended death. The Sheriff said the Medical Examiner's report showed Nation died of natural causes due to heart failure. "The family reported that Nation had been seeing a physician for heart problems", Sheriff Harrison said. The Medical Examiner's report estimated death occurred at about 4:00 a.m. IIS Blueberries... The "Blue King" of Gulf Delicate Fruit Making A Place of Importance for Itself FICO field superintendent, Albert Sanders inspects one of a dozen strains of blueberries planted in a 300 acre field with Gulf County Extension Director, Roy Lee Carter. Sanders said the fruit would be ready for picking in about a week. The late Warren K. Settlemire, of Dalkeith and formerly of Port St. Joe would have placed his stamp of approval on the name, "Blue King". "Blue King" is the registered trade mark under which FICO Farms of Wewahitchka is marketing a line of fresh blueberries all the way from .here to the Canadian border. Warren K. Settlemire was the man who preached the "Gospel of the Blueber- ry" and its promise for Gulf County, until the folks at FICO took him seriously and decided to heed his words. Settlemire retired to a small piece of ground at Dalkeith and set about to do what he had done all his life-experiment with different grow- ing things and find a way to grow them here in the Panhandle. Settle- mire discovered blueberries and was so excited at his success in producing the delicate blue berry fruit that he spent a large part of the remainder of his years trying to persuade budding new large farming combines coming into the county to try his ways of producing blueberries on a commer- cial basis. As County Extension Agent Roy Lee Carter said, getting into blueber- ries isn't for everybody. "It takes quite an investmentand and a two or three year waiting period for any return at all to begin growing the berries commercially." For several years, FICO Farms and other large farm combines spent a lot of mqoey trying to turn Gulf County's wet lowlands into something besides a pine forest and a hardwood swamp. First came soybeans. But everybody in the world was growing soybeans at about the same time, so the price tumbled, making the mar- ginal operations here unprofitable. Then came feed grains such as ,sorghum, corn, millet, but there was not enough money there to pay off the tremendous costs of clearing thou- sands and thousands of acres of swampland. Cattle ranching was sandwiched in among the crops, and although this operation worked pretty well, the price of beef on the hoof made the farm operators look for something else. FICO PLANTS BLUEBERRIES FICO Farms, a farming conglom- erate which has headquarters in Arizona, decided to get into pecan and blueberry production. FICO has a huge pecan operation in Arizona, so they were beginning to tread on territory they had a talking know- ledge with. The pecans were their idea; the blueberries were the result of Settle- mire's persuasive salesmanship. FICO invested acres heavily in pecans and have an orchard maturing as you read this. Blueberries were the biggest gamble for FICO, but they invested thousands of dollars in developing a 300 acre orchard of the berries to see what would come of it. Both the orchard operations are located on their agricultural operation near Wewahitchka on the Overstreet Road. The blueberry packing shed is located on Highway 22, just -v.,st of Wewahitchka. This year, the berries are putting out their first sizeable crop and it has been running FICO farm managers and harvest labor ragged since the middle of May and isn't likely to let up until about the middle of July, when the harvest will be over. Tom Stevenson, farm manager said this first year, FICO expects to (Continued on Page 7) tqei -lL AM Olivia Owens operates one of the two dozen packing stations, placing a plastic cover over the cups of blueberries. She places 12 of the sealed cups in a lug and stacks them on the shipment pallets in about two minutes. Mysterious Death Is Ruled As Due to Natural Causes T It's been a long time coming, but we see where the Supreme Court of the United States agrees with us. For several years, now, ever since the State of Florida and the United States govern- ment has started taking on the role of telling some people what they can and cannot do with their personal property, we have taken the stance that in such cases, the government involved should compensate the property owner for any loss they incur abiding by the rules and regulations of the government. Now, just last week, the Supreme Court, in a decision, said essentially the same thing. Of course that doesn't give you or anyone else license to run, out and buy a patch of swampland for $1 million or so, declaring that you will build a large condominium complex on it from which you will reap enough profits to retire to a life of ease and luxury. Then, when the state comes along and says, "No, you're not. You have to let that land be." This doesn't mean you have the right to collect on your anticipated investment just because you were pre- vented from carrying out these plans. It means that, after you have purchased a piece of land for a specific reason, only to have the government re-zone or re-define the use of your property before you can de- velop it, you have a right to expect some compensation on your losses. Much waterfront property here in Gulf County has been owned for years by a single owner or family, saving it as an investment. Now, in its attempts to protect our en- vironment, our state govern- ment has put restrictions on land use which prevents much of our coastal lands from being used for any purpose. Yet, for years, the owner has been paying taxes on the property, awaiting his chance to develop .it. We applaud the Supreme Court for deciding the gov- ernment can't rob a person of his property values with com- pensation. Comments THE STAR PAGE TWO Supreme Court Agrees with Us "One More, Dad, Just One More" by Kesley Colbert.I_ Hey Dad, It's just me again. Been thinking about you more than usual lately. Do you remember all those evenings you'd drive that old '47 International up into the yard after hauling corn all day for Slick Tosh? I'd meet you before your feet hit the ground with a glove and a ball, "Throw me some, Dad, throw me some." You'd never even go into the house. We'd throw 'till just about dark and when I'd hear Mom start out the back door to tell us supper was ready I'd grab that broken bat we'd nailed together and say "Hit me a few grounders Dad." You'd tell Mom, "We'll be in in just a bit, Mother. I've got to see if I can bang a couple by this new short- stop for the St. Louis Cardinals." Do you remember, Dad? It would be completely dark, the pinto beans would be lukewarm and I was saying five more minutes, Dad, just five more minutes, please. I bet we ended a million days that way. You know, I don't ever remember you saying, "Not tonight, son." The reason all this is on my mind today, Dad, is that Josh is about to drive me nuts. I don't even get to the house before he starts in on me, "Let's throw some, Dad. I've got your glove ready. I marked us off a field. You can be the Cardinals. Are you ready, Daddy?" You know what, Dad, sometimes I'm not ready. I've got a lot of other things I need to do or want to do. And some afternoons I just tell him that we can't throw today. Heck, sometimes I'm just tired. Do you know what I mean, Dad? Naw, I don't guess you do 'cause I don't ever remember you not throwing with me. I look back on it now and find it remarkable on your part that you were always ready. How did you do it, Dad? The boys haven't forgotten you. I promised you there in the hospital that last night that they'd know all about their grandfather. And they do, Dad. You know, it's been almost eight years since you left and so I've had time to tell them everything I could about you. Jess is always wanting me to throw a ball straight up so high that it will go out of sight "like Papa used to do." And Josh helps me work on the house some. I tried to teach him to hammer like you taught me. He takes those granny hits, you know, pecks at it just like I used to do. I get just as mad at him as you used to get at me. I tell him to "Get the nail in the wood, son, we're burning daylight." Sound familiar, Dad? Everytime we go home Josh wants me to show him exactly where you were standing on the p6rch when you told Police Chief Aaron Pinson that he didn't bring enough men with him to make you move the truck - he'd better go get help. Yeah, I told him that story, too. And a thousand more... I'm a'writing this talk down today Dad. I hope you don't mind. I'm a'go- ing to share it with some friends. You see, it's Fathers Day down here on Sunday. And, well, since 1979 it hasn't been one of my favorite "days". I mean I will appreciate the gift and all. THURSDAY, JUNE 18,1987 Hunker Down with Kes Did We Miss Something? What's going on here? Have we missed something along the way or did we read things wrong in the first place? We were under the im- pression it was an Iraqi plane which shot up the Frigate Stark. If we're not mistaken, that's what we read about three weeks ago, when that French missile slammed into the side of one of our ships in the Persian Gulf, killing 37 of our young men. We know the killing of the men was definite. There is no backing off from that, but was it really Iraq which did it? If it was an Iraqi plane which shot up the Stark, then why are we fussing with Iran over shipping in the gulf and just what they're going to do to us if we try to protect ships in that body of troubled water and what we're going to do to them if they do something to us? It seems to us our injured spleen would better be vented toward Iraq! But, then, we never did understand politics in the first place. In politics one says "no" when he means "yes" and he says "says" when he really means "no". He says "maybe" or "no comment" when he doesn't know what he means and a person is called a "friend" in politics when he is just a nodding acquaintance. Using those guidelines, .re suppose it is proper we fuss ,with Iran over something Iraq did. , Obvious Error Robert Garisto, a student at the University of Chicago has come up with the correc- tion of an error in Sir Isaac Newton's "Principia" which includes the law of gravity. The equation in question appears in Proposition Eight of Book Three of the "Philoso- phiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica". Hum-m-m-m. We're sur- prised somebody hasn't found it before now! A Ramsey Never Changes and There's Enough of Them to Go Around I LEARNED THIS PAST week end that a Ramsey never changes. It was several years ago, but I still remember way back when I was still sitting my feet under Momma and Daddy's dining room table for my meals, one had to be adroit at spearing a piece of chicken quickly and decisively if you got anything but a foot or a head to eat. With four brothers sitting around the table-all with arms longer than mine-it's no wonder I cane out of the litter as the runt, even though I was the eldest. - My brothers knew how to get to the trough and what to do when they got there. I wouldn't say they were chow hounds, but they were no slouch at the old boarding house reach, either. The only one which didn't have to fight for every morsel he put in his mouth was Edward and that was because he was the baby of the family. Momma made sure he had enough at mealtime to survive on. He survived, all right. Edward is now the biggest of the five Ramsey boys. THIS PAST WEEK END we got together and had us a Ramsey reunion here in Port St. Joe. You probably witnessed the short- age of items in the grocery store, felt the ground tremble to the west and ETA been only two occasions when a funeral drew us all back. That was when Momma died in 1979 and when Daddy passed away in 1984. Even on those occasions, there called at the Ramsey house) the ones who gathered early put away 12 fried chickens and the trimmings. Saturday, the whole gang got there and consumed two hams, 60 IOIN SHRDLU By: Wesley R. Ramsey experienced a weather change. All of that was because there were 60-odd Ramseys gathered at the beach, talking, visiting, eating, talk- ing, eating, meeting new family members, eating, remembering the "good old days", eating. It was the first time since 1947, when I took the first step and left home since we had all been together except for a funeral. If my memory isn't failing me on this one, there have was no gathering of the clan which included the offsprihg and the grand- children. Let me tell you, there was a gathering this time, all right. I think the entire clan was there except for two sons of one brother and one son of another. +++++ AND, EAT! DID those folks eat! Friday night for supper (that's what the evening meal was always pounds of seafood, 40 pounds of shrimp, 80 pounds of crawdads, a dishpan of salad, two huge pans of baked beans and two jars of peanut butter. If there had been anything else there, it would have been eaten, too. ANOTHER THING WE all learn- ed at our first ever reunion last week end was that if you particularly need a Ramsey for some reason or other, there are enough of them to go around. When we started bedding them down Friday night, they were scattered up the beach from the Hinote beach house, where we did all our gathering to El Governor Motel.. When it came meal time the gathering of the clan must have been a sight similar to the Jews gathering together for Moses to lead out of Egypt. Like the Mexico Beach Ling Ding celebration, it rained on our parade, too. There was so much talking and catching up with years gone by we hardly noticed it. Not too many wanted to go outside anyhow, except the kids who wanted to go to the beach. We didn't know how to conduct one of those official Southern tradition reunions, but we managed with the best expertise we had available to us. If one does things other than eat and talk at a reunion, how about sharing it with me before we have our next one, so we can get it included in the program. WE GOT OUT some old pictures which showed our home in Oklahoma, to recall old memories. There was a picture of all five of us in our front yard in the snow. There was a photo of "Dirty" the little terrier dog we loved so much we brought to Florida with us. There was thl cotton gin which was across the street from our house. The Citizens Bank of Shamrock, which was robbed by Pretty Boy Floyd in 1929 and had to close up after the robbery. There were pictures of grandmas and grandpas, aunts, un- cles, cousins and other scenes of days of a long time ago. Ramseys came to this reunion from as far away as Utah. Since they live near the Great Salt Lake, which is flooding their part of Utah because of excessive rainfall for a full year, they were sort of shell-shocked by the rains we were having here. Most of the visitors came from Atlanta, Georgia, where three of the brothers have migrated and haven't had sense enough to leave. That's a harsh thing to have to say about your own brothers, but I've been to Atlanta a few times. I know it's truel St. Joseph's Bay Tides Time Ht. Tbime dt.

I've already told them no tie and no profes- sional leather nail apron. I like the old cloth ones like we used to get free at the feed store. But the problem, Dad, is that I don't feel like the Father here. That's your job. I think I'm a poor substitute. Of course the Lord knows that I'm most grateful that I had the real thing. You know what I'd really like for Father's Day? If you could just drive that old '47 International up into the yard, hop out and help me with Josh's throwing a bit. He drops his elbow and consequently his hand gets away from his ear. No way he can come over the top. He's left handed, like you, and that makes it harder for me to show him. You could straighten him out in five minutes. Yeah, Dad, just five more minutes, please. Love as always, Kelley Cong.

Thursday, June 18,1987 Page Three SHAD PHANTRY by Wendell Campbell What Fathers Are Made For It was Will Rogers, I believe, who said, "When I was sixteen my father was one of the most ignorant persons I knew. I couldn't believe how smart he had gotten when I was twenty-five." Children sometimes \wonder what purpose fathers really serve. I know I did. There was a time that I thought my father was some evil per- son sent to make my life miserable. Little did I know, but what is a teenager supposed to know? Now much, I think. Chirrin', pay attention and cut this article out and one day, if you are lucky, you can show it to your children and say, "Take a lesson, smarty- pants!" The list below is but a few of the things fathers are made for. *Fathers are made to count their children's fingers and toes when they are born to make sure they have ten of each. *Fathers are made to answer the phone in the middle of the night when, most of the time, it's bad news. *Fathers are made to turn out the lights and turn up the air condi- tioner and down the heat so the "juice" bill won't be so high. *Fathe4s are made to remember to lock all the doors at night and feed the dog and cat when everyone else has forgotten to. *Fathers are made to remember that the car widow is down when it starts to rain late at night. *Fathers are made to investigate the strange noise downstairs in the middle of the night, even though he is scared half to death. *Fathers are made to worry about his children being "brain-dead" when one of them makes a bad grade on his or her report card. *Fathers are made to be proud of his son when he bags his first deer or takes the "town beauty" to the prom. *Fathers are made to hate the sorry rascal that comes over to take his daughter out on a date. *Fathers are made to forget unimportant dates like anniversaries and birthdays, especially mom's. *Fathers are made to do embarrassing things, like going to sleep and snoring in church and hugging and kissing his children in public. *Fathers are made to work and try to make enough money to pay the bills each month and put a little aside for the children's education and retirement. He never seems to make it stretch, though. *Fathers are made to talk real loud and bow up like a mad bull or roar like a lion when they are actually scared to death. Fathers come in assorted sizes, colors, weights and temperaments. , The fact is, however, that fathers are all basically alike. So you see, son, you've got a lot to look forward to, being a father! F--- ft*., a Jetty Repairs Underway Workmen are shown in the photo above nearing completion on replacing a jetty at the mouth of the Mexico Beach canal which empties into the Gulf of Mexico and furnishes an outlet into the Gulf for fishing and pleasure boats. The jetty was damaged in the 1985 hurricanes and the canal opening has required steady dredging since that time, to keep it open for use.

The state put $32,000 into the project as a grant for storm damage. Mexico Beach will bear 25 percent of the cost. Mclnnis said the second phase will include construction of a sand fence landward of the jetty which will extend 60 feet back from the dune line. The sand fence is designed to stop sand from blowing and sloughing off into the canal and filling it in. The jetty repairs should be completed by the middle of next week, according to Mclnnis.

The entry, based on the popular children's toys called "Transformers", depicted a Chevro- let Blazer being transformed into a robot and carried the message that one could "transform" a life by learning to read or by helping someone else learn to read. "A transformation really does take place for everyone who partici- pates in the literacy program," said Melissa Marlowe, coordinator of the Gulf County Literacy Volunteers and Jaycee Public Relations Director. "For the student, each tutoring session is designed to insure a measure of success in the process of learning the new skill of reading while using materials and texts which are of interest and importance to the adult student. These can include the Bible, cook books, auto repair manuals, the Florida State driver's Handbook, and newspaper and magazine articles of topical interest to the student. "For the volunteer tutor, the experience of helping someone who really wants to learn to read is exciting and fun. In a period of two weeks, real progress can be seen after the recommended course of two one-hour sessions per week has been applied." For those who might consider taking the tutor training workshop, Marlowe adds, "The train- ing program for tutors is challenging without being intimidating. It pre- sents four different methods of teaching adults to read in a logical, forthright manner and teaches when it is appropriate to apply each method. Considering the small amount of time that is involved, and the personal satisfaction that is reaped, this program offers one of the best returns on investment that I know of." The Gulf County Literacy Volun- teers would like to thank the Port St. Joe Jaycee's for their support of this project, and especially Constance McPherson and Jef Gardner, whose home became the launching pad and construction office for the robot. Miriam Varnadoe, a prospective Jaycee member, volunteered many hours of her time to help construct the robot, and without her help and vision (as well as her extensive exposure to the world of "TRANSFORMERS") this project would not have been possible. We would also like to thank the St. Joe Container Division, Bill's Dollar Store, and especially Mr. Tommy Simmons, who came up with the "TRANSFORMER" idea and started us on this flight of fantasy. If you know someone who needs reading help or if you would like to be a volunteer with the Gulf County Literacy Volunteers, call 229-8879, or come by the Port St. Joe Library.

He was captured at age 16 by Irish slave-raiders and transported to Ireland where he was forced to be a shepherd. When he was 21 he escaped and returned to Britain where he became a priest, and later a bishop. Rather than hate his former oppressors, he loved them. He had a spiritual vision in 432 which led him back to Ireland where he converted his former owners to the Christian faith. During his lifetime, Christianity spread to much of Ireland. Before his death in 461, Patrick had another heavenly vision in which he foretold the birth of another great evangelist, Columba. St. Columba was born in Ireland in 521, and from childhood he desired the life of a priest. In 563 St. Columba and 12 companions set out for Scotland to convert the Picts. The mission was not one of ease. These ancient ancestors of the modern Scotts were renowned for their hostility. The Picts were ferocious fighters who went into battle naked and painted blue. The Romans learned to fear them because of their frenzied fighting and their reputation for cannibalism. At one pont the Emperor Hadrien even built a wall across northern England to keep the Picts at bay. However, God prepared the way and St. Columba found the Picts open to the Gospel. Their kings permitted him to preach, baptize and build monasteries. You and I may never be in a situation where we are called to give the gospel to our former slave owners, as Patrick did. And we may never be Christian witnesses to hostile sav- ages. But as believers, we are all called to witness to the love of God each day of our lives. Before this day ends, join me in asking God for a vision of how we might best serve our Savior as a witness; Only individuals who have- experienced the love and forgiveness. of God can share his love and grace. If we ask in sincerity, God will answer us personally as to how the Good News can be spread in a hostile world. CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank Mr. Gerald Lewter, Lois Byrd and Catherine Ramsey for all their support through- out my beginning year teaching program. This year was very benefi- cial to me and I appreciate all your help and hard work. I look forward to working with Mr. Lewter and Lois Byrd again in the upcoming school year as a kindergarten teacher. Sincerely, Leslie L. Garrett Make the Most of Your Retirement Benef its At retirement, do you want to be faced with a choice between the full pension benefit you have earned and financial security for your spouse? You've worked hard and look forward to receiving your full earned pension. But when the time comes for you to retire, you may be faced with a choice that forces you to accept a reduced pension benefit. Due to recent law changes, you will have to choose between receiving your full earned pension and providing your spouse wvith a retirement income if you die first. If this choice sounds like no choice, you may be interested in the Pension MAXIMIZER Plan from Western Life. It's designed to help you maximize your retirement benefits-and provide financial security for your spouse. To find out more, contact: Gary W. Barber 61 Avenue E Apalachicola, FL 32320 Phone 904-653-2161 There's no obligation-just the opportunity to make the most of the retirement benefits you have earned.

"There's no problem selling all we ,have been able to produce", Stevenson said. Just how many blueberries is a lug? A lug is a box containing a dozen pint cartons of fruit. Multiply that by 30,000 and that's a lot of blueberries! PROVIDING JOBS Stevenson said this year the operation has provided part-time jobs for about 150 extra people. Mostly, this extra labor is school kids, but it provides them a summer job right when they need it. It also isn't so part time. Blueberries require immediate attention, so, according to packing shed superintendent, Karmen McLe- more, the packing operation has been going 12 hours a day, seven days a week, since May 15 and will keep up that pace until around July 15. "The grass in my yard is about knee high because I haven't had a chance to cut it", McLemore said. "By July 15, I'll have to get a bush hog in to bale it into hay", he mused. Many of these extra jobs are for pickers during the early part of the season. According to Albert Sanders, field superintendent, the berries are picked by hand early in the season, when only part of the fruit is ripe on the bush. "Some of these pickers are fast and have been earning up to $100 a day, working on piecework", he said. MECHANICAL PICKERS When these pictures were taken last week, enough of the berries had ripened to rent a mechanical picker and harvest them cheaper and quicker than hand picking. "Of course, machines to pick the berries aren't cheap, either. We contract the work and one of these mechanical pickers cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, so you can see harvesting is still expensive", Sanders said. Last week, the harvester was bringing in 500 lugs of berries a day. "We've been packing an average of 500 a day since we started on May 15", McLemore said. Stevenson said that by next year, the farms expect to be producing three times this many berries off the same bushes. "The bushes will be more mature and they'll bear more fruit by next year", he pointed out. Too, as the bushes mature, there will be less harvest waste. The mechanical harvester is a contraption which contains about 20 or 30 vibrating wooden paddles about the size of a broom stick. A spring loaded angular gate follows along just about the top of the ground to catch the berries as they are vibrated from the bush. The young, low bushes have a lot of suckers at the bottom and force the gates open wider than they should be to efficiently catch the falling berries. The excess just falls to the ground and is wasted. "We'll be doing a lot of pruning this fall and winter, shaping the bushes up to more sufficiently harvest the berries with the machine", field manager, Sanders said. "That alone, will increase our production tremen- dously and make the harvesting process easier". Plans are in the working now to expand the packing shed from one grading line to three by next year. Since each grading line has 12 people at grading stations, you can see how much labor will be needed next year, just to grade berries. Stevenson said production of the berries "isn't without its problems. Even though we're optimistic about the future, we have run into our pitfalls, too". McLemore said, "With next year's expected boost in production, trucks for shipment to northern markets. Presently the packing plant ships about 500 lugs a day. we will be hitting the road this fall and winter rounding up customers". FRESH FRUIT MARKET FICO is concentrating on the fresh fruit market. "We get our harvest earlier than other major producers. We have a good product and most large producers aim at the process market. The main producer in the southeast is South Carolina and they don't get on the market with their production until mid to late June. "By then we are thinking about finishing our harvest", Stevenson said. By then, too, the prices begin to drop, so FICO has been there first and reaped some of the cream to go with their blueberries, so to speak. While the main emphasis is placed on the fresh fruit market, FICO still ships their over-ripe fruit, culls and berries not suitable for the fresh market to processors who extract juice, provide fruit for the bakery trade and make extracts. "We don't have any waste", McLemore said. Fresh berries are graded, placed in the pint cups and a piece of saran wrap containing the Blue King logo is placed on top and held in place with a rubber band. That sounds complicat- ed, but one of the two dozen packers can top the cup out with berries, place the pre-cut saran wrap over the top, hit a bracket which fits down over the top of the square cup, pulling the saran wrap tight and place the rubber band in place in just a matter of a couple of seconds. There was a day when the pine tree, alone, was "king" in Gulf County, but if the success FICO Farms is having with blueberries continues, it just might live up to the promise of the new FICO logo and become the "Blue King" of Gulf County.

Thurday, June 18,1987 Your Plants by Roy Lee Carter County Extension Agent Summertime is vacation time for people, not plants! While getting ready for that long awaited trip, it's easy to forget about your lawn, landscape, vegetable garden, and house plants. A little time spent preparing your leafy friend for your absence could save you needless worry and hours of extra work when you get back. Today I'll talk about some things you can do to keep plants healthy while you're away. A vacation may be relaxing and rejuvenating for you and your family, but it can be hazardous even deadly for your plants, unless you make adequate preparation before leaving, you could return to a vegetative disaster. One of the first things you might K.I.D .S.

Tables are provid- ed free of charge. do before leaving home is ask a neighbor to check your plants periodi- cally while you're gone. All plants need some care. But, during an extended vacation, container grown plants require special attention and different species attention. Different species have different needs, so be sure you give your friend specific instructions for the care of each type. Even if you can't find someone to personally look after your plants while you're away, there's plenty you can do prior to departure to make sure you don't come home to a limp landscape and sickly house plants. Outdoor, container grown plants should be placed in a shady area to conserve moisture, under a tree or on the north side of a building are good locations. A thick layer of mulch will help consume moisture for landscape plantings. Mow your lawn just before ROY LEE CARTER leaving, cutting the grass a little closer than usual. An unkept lawn can encourage disease, and it's a tell tale sign that no one's home.

Also, thoroughly spray or dust your plants to protect them from insects and diseases while you're away. If you have flowering annuals, cut the blooms before departing. If you don't, they'll soon stop blooming. Harvest all ripe or nearly ripe fruit and vegetables, like flowers, they will continue to produce only if they're' picked frequently. Otherwise, they'll go to seed. Do a thorough job of weeding. If weeds are allowed to go to seed while you are away, you can expect to encounter much more difficult pro- blems later in the season even next year when the seeds sprout. And, remember that weeding eliminates a major source of competition for your landscape plant's food and water, which may be in short supply during your absence. Plants kept indoors require spe- cial consideration. Before leaving home, place your house plants in a room which received indirect sun- light. Direct exposure to the sun will dry the soil too quickly. Of course, you don't want to put your plants in a room that's too dark either. Too little light will almost always result in leaf drop. And just before you depart, be sure to water your houseplants thoroughly. This is especially vital, because unlike lawngrass and landscape ornamen- tals, house plants cannot benefit from any rain that may fall while you're gone.

Members of the committee, which will guide the activities of the Blue Lightning Strike Force on Florida's west coast, were appointed during a meeting held in Tampa on June 5. The meeting was attended by nearly 100 law enforcement officials from more than 30 agencies. -, The newly appointed steering committee, which elected Citrus County Sheriff Charles Dean as its chairman and Pinellas County Sheriff Gerard Coleman as its vice chairman, includes 13 sheriffs from northern, central and southern coastal counties, a police chief, and senior officials from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Marine Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Ad- ministration, the U. S. Coast Guard and the U. S. Customs Service. The Blue Lightning Strike Force was formed on the southeast coast of Florida in July 1985, based on the success of "Operation Blue Light- ning," a highly productive multi- agency operation that focused on interdicting drugs being smuggled from the Bahamas to South Florida. In February 1986, the U. S. Customs Service activated a high-tech Blue Lightning Operations Center, in Miami, that utilizes radar coverage of Florida's southeast coastal waters to direct Blue Lightning patrol boats to suspected smuggling targets. Strike Force participants share intelligence information, work to- gether during special operations and conduct coordinated patrols. By spe- cial agreement, designated state, county and local Strike Force officers can be temporarily deputized as U. S. Customs officers, thus providing the capability for immediate broad ex- pansion of Customs' unique border search authority. During 1986, efforts of the 28-- agency Blue Lightning Strike Force on Florida's east coast resulted in 234 arrests, and the seizure of 13,342 pounds of cocaine, 298,169 pounds of marijuana, 124 vessels, 16 vehicles, 39 weapons and $182,605 in currency. Indications are that Blue Light- ning pressure on the east coast of Florida has created an upsurge in drug smuggling activity orf the west coast of the state. To meet this threat, Customs extended the scope of the Blue Lightning Strike Force to include the west coast, from Ft. Myers to Pensacola, and is adding eight coastal radar installations that will feed into the Miami-based Blue Lightning Operations Center. The, steering committee will meet on a monthly basis to evaluate the progress of the Strike Force, and to formulate policies and plan opera- tions.
