Mexico Beach Cutting Tax Rate Mexico Beach is another of those maverick taxing districts which is reducing taxes in this year of the increased levy. According to a budget plan presented to the Commission by city manager, John Mclnnis, the Gulf- front community which snuggles up to the west boundary of Gulf County, will lopa full mill off last year's levy, for a 4.71 tax rate in the coming year. Mclnnis said the new levy will generate taxes to pay for a budget of $605,529, to cover city expenses for the year. McInnis said the reduction in taxes was made possible by discon- tinuing the practice of contracting for sanitation service and paying for it with ad valorem taxes. "Beginning October 1, the city will be operating its own sanitation service and we will be collecting for the service on a monthly basis from the users", McInnis said. Mexico Beach had severed a contract with M&O Sanitation, which has been serving the city for the past several years. "We have a new loader-packer and a used one, 12 dumpsters and hired three employees to get the service in operation the first of the month", Mcinnis said "We'll provide twice a week pick-up for most of the city and three times a week service o a h $ i t P( p The Gulf County came within a whisker of getting out of the solid waste collection business Tuesday evening, and turning the whole service over to private contractors to perform. With solid waste handling driving the ad valorem taxes up like sky- rockets in the county, the Commission toyed with a suggestion by chairman Billy Branch Tuesday evening, to get rid of the county's fleet of collection trailers spotted strategically around the county and get out of the collection business altogether. Branch even had three private solid waste contractors at the meeting to give the commission of what to expect in the way of service and cost, should the county agree to turn the collection process over to them. The only thing which kept the I ".. j 6 V .?

Firemen had to battle dense smoke to get at the blaze which damaged the West Florida Gas Company store on Reid Avenue Saturday afternoon. Fire Damages West Florida Ga An afternoon fire, Saturday, drove West Florida Gas Company from its building on Reid Avenue. The fire, which is suspected to have originated in the wiring in the ceiling to the rear of the building, was within about five minutes of becoming a major blaze, according to Fire Chief Brent Etheridge. "We got to it just in time to prevent major damage", Etheridge said. A city police patrolman was checking doors late Saturday after- noon in the vicinity of the building, and :noticed flecks of ceiling falling inside the building, although he didn't see any fire nor smoke. On closer investigation, smoke was found in the rear storeroom of the building and larger pieces of the suspended ceiling coming down. Then the fire depart- ment was called. s Building In the few minutes it took the fire department to respond, the building filled with smoke and it started boiling out of openings in vents and cracks around a rear loading door. "We went into the building but could find no flames at first", Etheridge said. "It was hot inside, like it was just fixing to burst into flames", fireman Mark Collier said. Firemen quickly located the source of the flames in the workroom at the rear of the building, up in the crawl space overhead. Although the building wasn't heavily damaged with fire, smoke damage was severe and some water damage resulted from the fire fight- ing activities. The firm moved out of the building over the week end and set up temporary headquarters next door. Service this was where the Commission might do some more thinking and planning prior to junking their present swa-car collection operation. "You know, the City of Port St. Joe paid over $300,000 for half the expenses involved in that compactor in exchange for free tipping and as their share for hauling the material to the Buckhorn landfill. After paying out that $300,000 they are going to want to talk about instituting tipping fees to everyone". Birmingham also pointed out that the county needs to make plans to reduce the county budget by the amount of money they will save by getting out of the collection business. "We'll need to be very definite about: subtracting that money from the tax bill", he pointed out. Birmingham was also concerned with the possibility of citizens just hauling their garbage down some lonely road and dumping it in the woods. "It's a long way from say, Overstreet to the St. Joe compactor or from Howard Creek to the Buckhorn landfill to dump garbage", he pointed out. The three contractors present, representatives from Kelly Services,. Argus and M&O Sanitation, which perform these services in other counties, said there was no such. problems in the counties in which they operate. With the County Commission getting serious about taking drastic steps toward reducing the expenses which are piling up faster than the garbage in its collection, the Commis- sion ended their discussion by agree- (Continued on Page 3): Demolition Permit Is Delayed Even though final permission to go to work on dismantling the Dead Lakes Dam was just around the corner Wednesday of last week, the final, signed order from the Depart- ment of Environmental Regulation still hasn't actually been delivered to the agency that says "Go" to the dismantling contractor, it was learned just before The Star went to press Wednesday. The Northwest Florida Water Management District, charged by the Governor of Florida, with having the dam dismantled, issued a contract to KMT, Inc., of Lynn Haven last Wednesday, with in- structions to proceed as soon as the official paper is delivered. "It still hasn't come out of the DER office in Tallahassee", Jim Bozeman, a director of the Chipola River committee said yesterday. "We know it's coming, because DER has expressed an interest in having the dam removed all along, but so far the official piece of paper with the secretary's name on it, is apparently still lying in the DER office", Bozeman said. The signed permit was schedul- ed to be delivered either late Wednesday or early Thursday of last week. The demolition process will not get underway until the expected permit is delivered to the Water Management District.

Oris Andrews, of Port St. Joe was receiving a new heart in Tallahassee Memorial Hospital last Wednesday, at about the same time The Star was being printed for last week. From family sources, it has been learned that Andrews is recovering well from his oldeal and is already up and using his exercise bicycle periodically through the "" day. ' Andrews received the heart Wednesday after nearly three weeks of waiting in the TMH intensive care unit for one to' become available for him. Andrews, who has been bother- ed with severe heart problems for the past several years, was diag- nosed as having only a few short months to live if he didn't have the transplant, decided on the proce- dure. Andrews is recovering well and has a good chance of being allowed to come home, at least for a few days, this week end. According to the family source, Andrews was bothered with a small amount of . fluid around the heart and a slight kidney infection early this week, but doctors said it was nothing more than could be expected from the serious surgery and both. problems were clearing up Wed- nesday morning. Andrews was to be tested for signs of possible rejection Wednes- day, to determine whether or not he gets to come home late this week. I I I --- -- I Officials Owe Us Some Time There is something on our mind which has been there'for some time now, and we can think of no better time to air it than now. As you know, our county government is going through some tough times for both them and us as taxpayers. They are facing a time of increased demands on local government ,by state and federal mafdates and less and less federal ahd state money available, to pay for these mandates. Oovef-thent in our county on all levels, is facing the same problems. It is a time when all the expertise avail- able to the members as individuals and to the various boards, collectively, is needed to come up with the best solution for the citizens of our county, Another thing which both- ers us is that the state of Florida is requiring our coun- ty to offer more and more money as remuneration to our government officials for their services. Of course, the offi- cials don't have to take the money, but the county must offer it. So far as we know, the members of each board and commission is receiving full remuneration as mandated by the state. Which brings us to the point we have become con- cerned about. For some time now, we have noticed that at times members will be absent from one board or another for various reasons. For instance, at the important County Com- mission budget hearing Mon- day of last week, only three members were present. We don't know why the absences come about, nor do we want to know. We only know the county of Gulf strains to pay its elected officials a salary which we feel is more than commensur- ate with the time and respon- sibility involved. Since these men asked for the opportunity to serve at these positions and since they are very well paid, we feel it is only fair to those doing the paying for those receiving the pay to be on the job when their particular board is in session. Period. We know there are neces- sary absences, such as family crises, illness, etc., but to be absent for any other than a necessary-we mean neces- sary-reason should be out of the question. We think our paid ser- vants should be on the job unless they have a very good reason to be off it. Don't you? Comments T. Hunker Down with Kes I Haven't Eaten A Zagnut Since 1955 by Kesley Colbert I've been reading this morning about the NFL football players going on strike. Shucks, let 'em strike. It says in the morning paper that free agency is the key issue. If they don't like the group they are playing for - they can seek employment with another team. I don't know about you, but if I was making 300 thousand for six months work, I wouldn't be look- ing around for someplace else to go. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not against strikes. I think of those East Kentucky coal miners of the '40's and '50's. They went down in those mines with nothing but a pick ax and a Wheat light for six dollars a day. They ought'a been on strike. Of course when they got their thirty-six dollars at the end of the week they owed forty two of it to the company store. When they retired and moved in with their daughter-in-law over in Paintsville they had nothing to show for their thirty-seven years in the mines except a bad case of the black lung. Yes sir, they should'a been on strike. Of course the NFL players quick- ly point out the dangers involved with their occupation and the few number of years in which they have peak "earning power". You pay me 300 thousand for five or six or seven years and I believe that I could figure something out for the future. I'd like to ask one of those old time coal miners two questions. First, I'd like to know what it was like going down in that hole in 1951 where the ventilation was near about non existent and gas explosions and cave-ins took place on a weekly basis. And then I'd like his opinion on a group going on strike making 300 thousand for a half a year's work with tremendous medical benefits and pension plans. And they don't even have to buy their overhalls at the company store. Tell you some- thing else that just came to mind - have you ever seen an ex-coalminer doing a Lite Beer commercial? First regular job I ever had was working for Roe Alexander down at THE STAR PAGE TWO (IA the swimming pool. I was about eight or nine and my older brother was a lifeguard. Mr. Roe liked our family and so he let me pick up the paper around the pool and the sun bathing area outside the fence. He didn't pay me money to pick up the trash but I did get to go swimming free. You ever pick up a Payday or Zagnut wrapper that's been lying in the sun for an hour or so? Messy. And sticky. I usually shook the ants off before I dropped 'em into my sack. Some of the people weren't very nice to me either. They'd eat their Zagnut and as they'd start back to the pool they'd get about half way to the trash barrel and they'd toss the wrap- per on the ground with the explana- tion "Ole Kes will get it." Or we'd be on the top diving board in the middle of a big tag game when Ricky or Thomas would call time out, "Kes, I believe I've spotted a Milky Way wrapper and a NuGrape bottle THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 187 down by the pump house." I should have gone on strike. I would have needed to get Leon, Jackie and the other lifeguards to go out with me. That might have been tough - they were making fifty cents an hour. We could have called it a work stop- page. Of course the key issue couldn't have been money 'cause I wasn't making any and Leon and the others was a'making plenty. I don't think the key issue could have been free agen- cy. Roe owned the only swimming pool in town. We didn't have any other owners to scout my paper-picking-up ability. And I don't think a pension plan would have been much of an issue to a nine year old. Maybe I could have pushed the guaranteed contract angle. Maybe I could have bargained for a clause that would'a forced management to insist that the customers lick the sticky stuff off the Payday wrapper before they threw it on the ground. If I could have found Ted Turner in 1956 I'm sure he'd 'a wrangled a camera from somewhere and covered the story. Of course Roe might'a call- ed in some scab workers and I'd been doing my swimming at the creek. I didn't go on strike and it all worked out for mp. After several years of picking up paper I graduated into a lifeguard position making fifty cents an hour. I would have been com- pletely happy if I could have just got- ten my fingers apart. Respectfully, Kesley Bob and Dempsey Now Senator Dempsey Barron realizes the people of Florida do not want the sales tax on services and it would be best to repeal the tax. While Barron is spoken harshly of here in his own district because of his suppos- ed removal from 'the main- stream of the people, we commend Senator Barron, despite his fabled aloofness, for recognizing when he has made a wrong move and not hesitant to correct his mis- take. Maybe Senator Barron and Governor Martinez are correct that Florida needs more money to meet its needs. We don't know. We don't regularly pore over state budgets and visit all portions of the state and see the needs and problems which we are, sure abound in sufficient numbers to draw attention. We do recognize one doesn't espouse one theory on whether or not we need new taxes and then, before the ink is dry on our certificate of election, take another direction in matters of taxes. Perhaps what is needed is about a year of education of people in the needs of the state and let the people either say, "Yes, let's meet those needs" or, "We're not interested in funding certain programs any longer; cut them out". Polls show that some 77 percent of the people of Florida think the sales tax on services was a mistake, so we feel it is mandatory that conscientious public servants take steps to listen to these 77 percent of the people. We think they need listening to not to perpetuate the servant's terms in office, but to repre- sent the wishes of the people they represent. Boys Who Miss Adventure In Scouting Missing Important Part of Life I GUESS WHEN I get two doses of "Boy Scouts" in the same day, it is a power from somewhere telling me I need to focus my attention on Boy Scouts for a line or two of type in this space. In last Thursday's issue, old Shad Pharitry had a few words to say about the Boy Scouts and how he remem- bered when he was one and then at the Rotary Club meeting at noon, Phillip Dyer, the scout executive for this district spoke to the Rotarians about the scouts. Shad was doing a little reminisc- ing about the days he was a scout and thought he was doing a little bragging when he wrote down the Scout Oath and the Scout Law from memory. He was proud of the fact he could do it and promised to show anybody who asked him during the day he could repeat them from memory. Actually, being able to remember those things tells a little about Shad's age. They tell me one is getting old when memory of such items in one's childhood suddenly become as clear as day in our memory. Shad is putting on a little of the grey, but I have to confess, he isn't old yet not by a long shot. Even though he is two years older than Bill Wood, who has a six month old baby, yet! ETAM Scouts were some of the best memories I have of that time of my life. I feel sorry for boys today who do not have the opportunity to become Boy Scouts, both from the loss of the THERE WERE TWO men during the course of the 46 years the Rotary Club has sponsored scouting in Port St. Joe, who stood out in the scout leadership program, who will always IOIN SHRDLU By: Wesley R. Ramsey BUT, BACK TO scouting. The main question I want to ask is, what happened to it? Unfortunate- ly, I didn't get to spend much time in the Boy Scouts when I was scout age. I was incapacitated at the time and Boy Scouts didn't provide a program for incapacitated boys, though, I suppose it would today, if the program were going good and strong in the commun- ity. The few months I spent in the Boy fun of Scouting, and from the standpoint of the values they will not learn which will be so important when they reach adulthood. I don't know whether it is lack of adults with the time to put into scout leadership or lack of enthusiasm on the part of teen age boys which has caused the scout program to fall off in these parts. But, the fact remains, it has fallen off, and that's sad. + ++++ be remembered by the many boys who participated. And, in the days of my teens and later, most boys who weren't just absolutely not interested in outdoor activities, were a part of the scout program. These two men were long-time leaders of scouting in Port St. Joe and even before I write the names down here, young men like Robert Nedley, Ferrel Allen, Jr., and Norman Alle- more have already murmured to themselves the name, John Simpson. Then there are the older ones, like Robert Traweek, Ellis Stevens, and myself, who have remembered the name, 0. D. Langston. Although we have had several good scoutmasters here in Port St. Joe, over the years, who were interested in the activity and interest- ed in helping young men to mature contructively, probably no other men have given as much of themselves to scouting in Port St. Joe. 0. D. Langston was a former Methodist minister here in Port St. Joe and he was one of those who made scouting interesting in our commun- ity. Ill health forced Langston to cut out a lot of his scouting activities, but he was a gem while he was at it. Then there is John Simpson, who became a legend to half the boys who grew up in Port St. Joe between the late 40's and the early 60's. Simpson worked at scouting and spent his spare time at the Post Office, handling the mail. Every year, he would spend his vacation time taking the scouts to a wilderness camp near Marianna, or on a trek across the nation taking the troop to the national Jamboree wherever it was held. The rest of the year was spent in getting the boys involved in activities to promote scouting and in raising the funds to take these trips. They went to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Valley Forge and I don't know where all, to attend national Jamborees, where the scouts met other scouts from all parts of the nation and the world. You think that didn't make an impression on the boys both at the time and for the rest of their lives? SCOUTING IS TRYING for a comeback here in Port St. Joe at the present time. Bob Bearden has volunteered his time to the troop and has already had some of these camp out activities. I don't know if Bob is conditioned enough yet to take the treatment a John Simpson took or patient enough to deal with the young men like an O.D. Langston, yet, but I'm sure he would welcome the chance to see. And, if he hasn't, it won't be long before he has learned these things. -THE STAR- Published Every Thursday at 304-306 Williams Avenue, Port St. Joe, Florida by The Star Publishing Company Second-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, FL Wesley R.

Thursday, September 24, 1987 Page Three SHAD SPHANTRY by Wendell Campbell The Redneck Riviera IT MUST BE TRUE that when someone feels bad about themselves or where they live, they start talking bad about someone or where someone else lives. A south Florida newspaper recently ran an article and named Port St. Joe as part of "Florida's so called Redneck Riviera." In an article on Wednesday, July 29, 1987, The Miami Herald ran an article, written by staff writer Geoffrey Tomb, in which the above statement was made. SOME OF YOU MAY know how I feel about our city and this part of the country. In case you don't, let me tell you in three simple words: I love it! Also, let me say, while the typewriter's hot that I feel very strongly about it. To put it in country, redneck music terms; when you're talking down our city, son, you're walking on the fighting side of me! We shouldn't be surprised that many people are jealous of us lucky folks who live and enjoy life along the Redneck Riviera, wherever it is. We do have much to be thankful for, especially here in Port St. Joe. Just look at the quiet, well kept streets and houses. Take a gander, if you will, at St. Joseph's Bay when the sun is setting. I've heard more cameras click at those sunsets than at a Miss Nude America contest. AND THAT'S JUST from the surface up. The real gold is what is beneath the surface. There's shrimp, oysters, crab, scallops and our all-time favorite, mullet; Folks, it don't get bitter than we've got it here. The thitg I am proud of most, however, is the people who live and* work here. Head for head and feet on the ground, there ain't none no better anywhere than those who live here in our little nitch of the Riviera. Some of our necks may be red but it's only because some of us work in the sun. A little redneck talk for Mr. Geoffrey Tomb, staff writer! +++++ I'M NOT ONE who lives by the old, "sticks and stones" rule. I believe in throwing them back, fast and hard, especially when they deserve it. I shouldn't have been surprised at anything a person named Geoffrey Tomb would write.'If I had a name like that stuck on me I would probably "commit sideways," as my Uncle Bob used to say. I also wonder where he's from. I'll bet it's a pretty place. Wherever he's from, I'm glad Miami was blessed with him. All we need in this town is another Leon, a guy who knows it all! Over the years, I've heard a lot of names for Miami, none of which can be printed in this paper. And, after my last trip there, about twenty years ago, I made up a few of my own, none of which would be printable in Hustler or Penthouse. I'll just say this; each time I go on a trip that takes me south of Perry, I always take a gas mask and plenty of strong deodorizer with me. THAT'S THE WAY it is, Geoffrey, here on the Redneck Riviera. How's everything in "Slaughter City?" LETTERS.

Checks PC People who receive Social Secur- ity benefits on behalf of another person are required to account for the use of the funds. The Social Security Administration periodically checks to make sure the money is being spent for the person's use. "Representative payees," as they are called, are generally relatives or legal'guardians of the beneficiary, but may be a friend or an official at the institution that is caring for the individual. Representative payees are select- ed when a person is unable to manage 'Social Security or SSI benefits in his or her own best interest. Representa- tive payees are also selected when Social Security has determined, based on medical or other evidence, that beneficiaries have a physical or mental impairment that prevents them from managing their benefits. A representative payee is re- quired to first make sure the beneficiary's day-to-day basic needs are met for food, shelter, clothing, and Sriodically personal items. Then benefits may be used for any special needs the person has, such as school expenses, rehabili- tation, medical expenses, insurance premiums, current payments on a house in which the beneficiary has an interest, tax payments, and certain other expenses. Any money left over after meet- ing basic and special needs must be saved or invested. The funds must be kept in an account separate and distinct from the representative payee's and must be clearly identified as the property of the beneficiary. Preferred investments are U.S. sav- ings bonds. More than 2.5 million representa- tive payees are currently receiving benefits on behalf of some 4 million beneficiaries. Anyone who would like to know more about the program should call the nearest Social Security office. Say You Say It In The Star!

In addition, National Hunting and Fish- ing Day has received the support of each American president since its inception. "National Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on the importance of conserving our natural and wildlife resources and the vital role hunters and fishermen play in conservation," said Col. Robert M. Brantly, execu- tive director of the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. Through license fees and taxes on equipment, sportsmen contribute mil- lions of dollars each year to pay for land acquisitions, research and man- agement of habitat for fish and wildlife. Brantly said that without the funding provided by hunters and fishermen, Florida's natural and wildlife resources might be depleted by now. "Hunters and fishermen helped start the conservation movement," Brantly said.

Selective Service Registration Required The federal government's largest employer the Postal Service - recently announced Selective Service registration requirements for employ- ment. Under the new, guidelines, a young man must prove that he has registered with Selective Service before being eligible for appointment to a position in the Postal Service. This requirement follows the Thurmond-Montgomery Amendment to the Fiscal Year 1986 Department of Defense Authorization Act. The Amendment prohibits a young man who is required to register from being appointed to a position in an executive agency of the federal government unless he has registered. The intent of the legislation was to ensure that all men required by law to register do so. Rep. Gerald Solomon (R-NY), a strong supporter of Selective Service, introduced legislation in July requir- ing registration as a prerequisite to employment with the Pcdtal Service. Technicall the Postal Service was not included in the original Thurmond- Montgomery Amendment because they are not an executive agency of the federal government. Commenting on the legislation, Mr. Solomon said, "If a young man is going to accept the benefits of this country then he should be ready and willing to accept the responsibilities as well. Registration is one of these responsibilities." As of mid-August, all young men who are 18 through 25 years of age must show proof of registration before being considered for a position with the Postal Service. All young men must register with Selective Service at any local post office within 30 days of their 18th birthday. helped establish state fish and wildlife agencies that could implement much- needed conservation programs. They also proposed and supported laws to establish special hunting and fishing fees and special taxes on their equipment to pay for conservation programs." Since 1937, the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act has provided for an excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition (and later on archery hunting equipment). Funds collected under this law are distributed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to state wildlife agencies for wildlife management. According to national organizers, hunters and fishermen have contribu- ted more than $6 billion for conserv- ation. Also, the programs supported and financed by sportsmen have benefited hundreds of wildlife species across the United States. The governor said he urges all Floridians to join in a renewed dedication to the wise use of our natural resources so they can be perpetuated for future generations.

The Sharks did more than just win the ball game Friday night; they injected a sense of excitement into the-ir home fans on break-away runs by David Barnes and Michael Byrd carried the mail for: two touchdowns each and three long gainers. Byrd scored once on a 70 yard punt return which brought the home stands to its feet. Barnes added his heroics by bursting through the center of the field on a 60 yard TD gallop in a game which saw tremendous improvement over the past couple of seasons by both teams. The Sharks scored every time they had possession of the football in the last period, except their last possession, when the final whistle of the game caught them on the Apalachicola 49 yard line and driving. Apalachicola put the first points on the board mid-way through the first quarter, when Troy Huckeba intercepted a Blaine Adams pass and ripped off a 70 yard gallop to the goal line, bringing the Apalachicola fans to their feet. Fredrik Sjoberg kicked the extra point and the hosts basked in the limelight of a seven point lead for a full two minutes before the Sharks retalliated with Mike Byrd uncorking a 10 yard plunge and Bobby Williams kicked an extra point to knot the score. The Sharks took the lead two minutes into the second period, when Willie Smith blocked the first of two punts for the night, both of which resulted in Port St. Joe scores. Smith smothered punter Sjoberg in the end zone, giving the Sharks a 9-7 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Mike Byrd fielded the kick on the Shark 30 yard line and didn't stop until he had crossed the Apalachicola goal line for the Sharks second TD of the evening. Williams' kick was wide and the score stood at 15-7. Both teams sparred at each other during the third period, with Apala- chicola gambling on a fake field goal attempt late in the quarter, trying to make up some lost ground. The Sharks took over the ball on their own 20 yard line and three plays later, Barnes broke loose on his 60 yard gallop. Kevin Dawson kicked the extra point, putting the Sharks in the lead, 22-7. After the ensuing kick-off, Apala- chicola stalled on their own 21, where they were forced to punt. Willie Smith did it again. Smith blocked his second Sjeborg punt of the night and Leonard Ray covered the loose ball in the end zone for another Port St. Joe touchdown. The final score came on a David Barnes 30 yard scamper, with Wil- liams kick sailing through the up- rights to make the final score 36-7. Barnes was the leading rusher for the Sharks with 113 yards on four carries. Workhorse, Mike Byrd car- ried nine times for 55 yards. Both runners scored twice. Port St. Joe's defensive squad played football for the second succes- sive week without allowing a score to be put on the board against the Sharks. The defense did some scoring of their own, however, as they put eight of the Sharks' 36 points in the record book on a safety and a touchdown off two blocked punts. Willie Smith blocked both of the punts and Leonard Ray covered the loose ball for the touchdown. Willie Smith was the defensive leader for the game Friday night, with seven tackles to his credit, two quarterback sacks and the two blocked punts. Kevin Dawson and Terry Quinn each had seven tackles; to dominate the defense. David Williams and Steve Howell were defensive leaders with six tackles each. Earnest Gant had five stops to his credit.

Game time will be at 8:00 p.m., in Shark Stadium. Bonifay has jumped off to a good' season this year, fielding a good team with a balanced running and passing attack. Last week, the Blue Devils defeated Slocumb, Alabama, 40-0. The Sharks will have their hands i full Friday nilht. TERRY QUINN Terry Quinn was defensive player of the week last Friday night for the Sharks. Quinn had seven tackles from his position as defensive safety position. Quinn graded out at 88 percent effective on a' grading system the football coaching corps has devised to determine the effectiveness of their players this year. Quinn topped that grading process this past week to get the selection as defensive player of the week. BLAINE ADAMS Junior quarterback Blaine Adams earned the selection as offensive player of the week for the Sharks last Friday night. Playing his first year at first string quarterback, Adams gra- ded out at 75 percent on the charts for the night's performance. Adams threw four times and completed two of his aerials during the evening for gains of 48 yards. WILLIE SMITH What can you add to what Willie did Friday night? From his position on the special team, he was respon- sible for eight of the Sharks' points, two quarterback sacks and seven tackles. Willie turned in quite a night's work in earning his designa- tion as special team player of the week this week. Coach Phil Lanford talks to his team on the field after St. Joe's 36-7 defeat of the Apalachicola Sharks. An unidentified Port St. Joe defender has the Apalachicola ball carrier under this pile on the field. Rushing in to assist were Port St. Joe's defensive players (in white jerseys), David Williams (71), and Leonard Ray (65).

Thursday, September 24,1987 Page Nine Jaycee Volleyball Tournament Raises $1,000 for Preacher Glass The Port St. Joe Jaycees com- bined with their friends at the Wonder Bar for their most successful fund raiser ever. The entire community pitched in for a fun filled day of volleyball, bar-b-que, and water sports. Bringing in the big money in the dunking booth were John Matlock, John Hanson and Buddy Hamm as over $250 was raised on these three alone. Donations of cash and supplies from area businesses financed the project. Side Out from Panama City won the appreciation volleyball tourna- ment playing a close championship game with second place finisher Daddy and the Boys. Hogan's Heroes took the third place trophy. Although the Jaycees volleyball team was the early favorite, they fell to an 0-2 record losing to Judge Taunton's team and the St. Joe Bar team. Comments team captain Al Smith, "Our ace sever, Gene Dickey, received an injury while setting up the project early Sunday and this really took alot out of our team." Chairman Gracie Stagg and co- chairman Joanie Hanson spearhead- ed the project and worked long hours. Comments President Gene Dickey, "We had two Jaycees running their first project, and did so well that the entire chapter can learn from their efforts. Gracie did an outstanding job working with the community busines- ses in financing the project and securing donations. The community's response was once again immediate and overwhelming. A special thanks to our own Joanie Hanson and to John Hanson and the staff of the Wonder Bar, the project was their idea and a direct result of their hard labors." Joanie and Gracie presented a $1,000 check to Preacher Glass on Monday.

OBSERVATION DECK What was to be an off weekend for the Jaycees turned into an eventful one as a dozen Jaycees gathered at the Beacon Hill Community Park and began construction of the observation deck. Comments Community Deve- lopment Vice President Gregg Burch, "The contractors and carpenters in our organization turned out and, completely framed the observation deck. The decking,' handrails, and stairs should be completed within two weeks and the decks will soon be open- ed to the public. The Jaycees learned that this will be an excellent vantage point for photographing the sunset on the beach." A very special thanks goes out to Mexico Beach Electric, who provided most of the equipment used on Sunday. Their five man crew are all Jaycees and all turned out on Sunday.

"Our major concerns about such a policy are, first, that drivers should be allowed at least a small margin to compensate for speedometer and 'driver error, and second, that police radar has proven itself time and time ,again to be an error-prone tool. With ;police relying more on radar, motor- / ists need radar detectors more than ever," Lee continued. RADAR also explained that much I of that stricter enforcement is being concentrated on transition areas n / where the speed limit drops from 65 to ' 55 mph near urban centers. Often, Lee said, these areas are not well signed, r and tourists and other travelers unfamiliar with the area are most d likely to fall prey to overzealous d enforcement. s-1 "Frankly, the only real protection f. a motorist can have is a radar . detector," she added: "A detector ' provides a. reminder that a driver : should-make sure he.isn't traveling' a : .bove 'the speed limit, and it's, a y defense against improperly issued speeding citations."

After two weeks of boot camp in the primitive jungle of Merritt Island, the team, sponsored by Teen Missions International, Inc., left for Haiti on June 29. Although Haiti was having serious political trouble and voodoo priests were active in the area, the team kept on working and in addition to the water reservoir, were also able to build a wall for a classroom and add two rows of blocks on the wall surrounding the orphanage com- pound. Even though the team had to leave two weeks before their sche- duled time, due to growing political instability, Esther feels that their stay had a positive influence especially on the fifty children living in the orphanage. Esther says in thinking back over the summer, "Seeing first hand the need for medical assistance in Haiti and in other third world countries, I plan to continue working toward my goal of being a medical missionary."

Thursday, September 24,1987 Gardening Season Is Here Both Flower and Vegetable Garden Plots Need Preparation by Roy Lee Carter County Extension Agent September is a very busy month for dedicated garden hobbyists in our sunshine state. A new vegetable gardening season is here. Now is the time to make preparations for plant- ing annuals and ornamental shrubs. Also, this is a good time for a general cleanup of home gardens. And, since warm weather is still with us, we need to continue to be watchful for insect and disease problems. I'll talk about some gardening projects that need attention at the beginning of the fall gardening season. My information was provided by Extension Urban Horticulture specialist Dr. Robert Black, of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. If you want a flower garden this fall, now's the time to decide on a location and start preparing the soil. You should try to locate the garden bed in an area that receives full sun for at least half the day. If possible, Enrollment Up at FSU's Panama City Campus Site Enrollment figures for Fall Term closely. at the new Florida State University The undergraduate class average Panama City Campus rose almost is 26; graduate class average is 20. sixteen percent over figures reported Degree programs in education and for the 1986 Fall Term. According to business have the largest student Larson M. Bland, dean, reasons for enrollments. the increase are explained by many Seventy-eight percent of the cour- factors. ses offered at the Panama City "Completion of the campus was Campus are taught by a combination very important.

FSU history department, commented, Bland attributed some of the "Teaching at the Panama City success of the Panama City Campus Campus is enjoyable because the to the fact that the classes are students have a highly responsible relatively small, thereby allowing attitude toward their studies and faculty and students to interact absences are rare."

Tree roots will quickly use any nearby fertilizer and water. You want to grow your flowers in a spot where trees won't compete for soil mixture and nutrients. Florida gardeners may choose from a wide selection of attractive annuals for fall planting. Some of the hardy species, which will tolerate cold weather, include alyssum, candytuft, phlox, verbeena, petunias, pansies, snapdragons, and sweet peas. All of these, which can be planted in late September, should be readily avail- able at most garden centers through- out our state. During September and October, a substance called Gibberellic Acid is often used on camellias. When proper- ly employed, Gibberellic acid in- creases flower size, and produces blooms much sooner than would be possible without the treatment. En- couraging early flowering of camel- lias is a good idea, because it minimizes the danger of freeze damage, and helps insure an abund- ance of blooms. If you're interested in trying Gillerellic acid on your camellias, here's how. First, select a well-devel- oped flower bud. Remove the growth bud that you'll find growing next to the flower bud. When you've done this, you'll notice a small cup-like place where the growth buds came off. Fill this cup with one drop of the acid solution. Usually, you'll notice a difference in bud size, between treated and untreated camellias in about a week. September is the last time you should prune poinsettias. As I've pointed out previously, poinsettias should be pruned regularly during spring and summer growth, to develop more compact plants with an abundance of showy bracts. But you should not prune after September 10 because you'll reduce flowering by removing buds that begin developing about that time. If you'd like to prune your poinsettias once more, do it now.

But, as I said do no further cutting after the 10th of this month. Finally, don't relax you guard against lawn and ornamental pests. It's still hot enough for insects, like scales, whiteflies, mites, aphids, and caterpillars, to cause serious orna- mental damage. And, sod webworms and fall armyworms could still injure your lawn. Also, the disease brown patch might infest your lawngrass. If you notice any of these problems, start control measures immediately. For specific control advice, check with your garden center, or your County Extension Agent. Public Notices IN THE CIRCUIT COURT,.
