County Full of Democrats


Vote for Republicans


Creamer and Gortman Win Big Over Republican and Independent Opposition


Tuesday was a perfect day to
hold an election, go on a picnic,
enjoy a day off, pick blackberries
or even go to work. Given the
county's -past performances with
elections this year, one would
have thought another attendance
record at the polls would have


been set by the 7,781 electors, but
it wasn't to be. Actually, fewer
Gulf County electors went to the
polls Tuesday than in any of the
three opportunities offered this
fall.
Supervisor of Elections Cora
Sue Robinson said her figures


County Commission Chairman Doug Birmingham, second
from left, presents momnentoes of their terms in office to County


show that only 66% of the coun-
ty's registered voters bothered to
cast their votes. The percentages
had been running in the 70%
range in the other two voting peri-
ods this year.
Those who did go to the polls
Tuesday, zig-zagged back and


forth between party sel

cal offices, the choice wa

candidate from the predo

Commissioners Sing Swan Soiu

Branch, Money, Traylor Take Last Official Action on Board


An era in Gulf County Com-
mission activities came to an end
Tuesday, when a majority of the
board attended their last meeting.
Despite the lame duck situation,
the Commission handled some
tough situations during the morn-
ing meeting.
Actually, the Commission
handled one of the most sensitive
questions which it could have
been presented with to close out
the career of three of their num-
ber, when they were faced with the
problem of roaming dogs
throughout the county and in the
Highland View area in particular.
Joe Thomas, a resident of
Highland View explained the
problem there was of epidemic
proportions and getting worse.
"The biggest problem is that no-
body can tell me how to handle
this situation", he said. "It is un-
safe for my children to play out-
side because of the number of dogs
allowed to roam free", he contin-
ued.
Chairman Doug Birmingham
reminded Thomas the county has
a vicious dog ordinance which


can be applied against any dog
which is a threat to people.
Thomas, however, wanted the
county to take a step further, and
require all dogs either be kept in
enclosures or under the control of
its owner. "We protect the dog's
rights over those of people",
Thomas claimed.
Sheriff Al Harrison entered
the discussion to point out such
an ordinance would'be useless un-
less the county had someorie with
the specific responsibility of en-
forcing it.
It took nearly an hour of dis-
cussion to get to it, but Commis-
sioner Nathan Peters finally pre-
sented a motion which was
seconded by Eldridge Money for
the county to come up with an or-
dinance requiring some' sort of
control similar to that of the City
of Port St. Joe and then consider
its adoption. Attorney William J.
Rish was instructed to come up
with a rough draft of a pet control
ordinance as a starting point for
the Commission.
CABLE TV PROBLEMS
Problems with cable televi-


sion service throughout the coun-
ty were presented to the Commis-
sion Tuesday. Multivision Cable
TV serves all of the county with
the exception of Port St. Joe and
complaints have been aired for
more than a year now, about
charges, channels available and
poor reception.
John Thorpe of St. Joseph Pe-
ninsula said, 'We presently get 11
channels-make that nine and a
half channels-but we still pay
the full $17.95 per month. We
would like to get an arrangement
like Multivision has offered St.
Joe Beach for a smaller package
for a lower price, but we've been
told by the company it isn't avail-
able in our part of the county",
Thorpe said.
Bob Worthy, from the same
area, cited a lack of performance
by the company as "being far be-
low standard",
Lou Parker said, "the service
has actually deteriorated while
the rates have continued to climb.
The rates keep going up and the
service keeps going down" he
said.

complaints, decided to s

Jimmy Gortman was the only

sition, and he had even less trou-

GO FOR BUSH, QUAYLE
The county joined most of the
rest of the country in voting for
George Bush for president of the
United States and Dan Quayle for
vice-president. The Bush-Quayle
team had a vote of 2718 in Gulf
county to 1564 for Michael Duka-
kis and Lloyd Bentsen. Libertari-
an candidate Ron Paul received
113 votes and New Alliance can-

Horn Removed In Recall


Mexico Beach Names New Slate


Voters at Mexico Beach made
the decision, Tuesday, to recall
commissioner Bill Horn, but ap-
parently Horn decided to sever his
ties with Mexico Beach before
they severed their ties with him.
Horn has not been seen at the
community for the past month
and a for sale sign is in front of
his home.
Horn was the subject of a peti-
tion for recall being circulated
this past summer and Tuesday's


election made the decision final.
Horn is no longer a commission-
er. Electors in the beach commu-
nity voted 193-93 Tuesday to re-
move him from office.
Commissioner Al Cathey,
whom Horn attempted to have re-
moved from office with his
claims of violation of the ethics
laws of Florida, was returned to
another term on the Beach Com-
mission, unopposed.

Rough Track Is


Smoothed Over

Workmen from the Apalachicola Northern Railroad Com-
pany and the Florida Department of Transportation are
shown as they repair the railbed of the railroad crossing on
Highway 71 Just north of Port St. Joe. Traffic on Highway 71
was rerouted around the crossing through the Industrial Road
on Monday and Tuesday of this week as work progressed on
the project.
The crossing was completely redone by Tuesday evening
when the highway was reopened to north/south traffic. The
work has eliminated a rough crossing, and replaced it with a
smooth surface.
The local railroad company had offered to aid the State
Department of Transportation in the project in order to get it
done in the current year. The project had been scheduled to be
repaired in the fiscal year 1991, when both railroad crossings
on Highway 71 were slated to be redone. With the Railroad's
assistance the crossing in the worst shape was redone now.


Beach, incumbent Roy Baisden
was defeated in his bid for re-
election by Frank Tromontana.
Tromontana polled 220 votes
while Baisden was able to count
only 121. A third candidate in the
commission race, Jacqueline
Thompson, had 94 votes.
Mexico Beach Mayor, James
R. Jones was defeated by Tom
Hudson, who dumped the former
Mayor with a 262 to 297 vote
count. Jones had Just finished his
first term as Mayor of Mexico
beach.
A third post to be filled had
Steve Matinchek step in, unop-
posed, to finish filling out the un-
expired term of Steve Kramer,
who was elected lastyear. Kramer
had to resign when his employ-
ment made it necessary for him to
move to Dothan, Alabama. Har-
mon Perryman was appointed to
the vacancy, but chose not to seek
election to the remainder of the
commission term.
The newly elected officials
will take over their new duties at
the December meeting of the com-
mission on December 13. They
will be sworn into their posts at a
special meeting on Monday, De-
cember 5.
MISSED TOO MANY
In the case of the recall of
Commissioner Horn, according to
the Mexico Beach charter, he had
actually removed himself from
office. Horn had missed three suc-
cessive meetings of the council as
well as several special meetings.
By missing the three nmectings in
succession, he could have been re-
moved from office without the re-
call election.

Now


Hunker Down with Kes


by Kesley Colbert


Have you heaved your sigh of relief, yet?
If you haven't, you're late!
Elections are over and finished across this land of ours for
nearly two years now. All we have seen, heard or smelled since
this time last year, is "election". With the trip to the polls
Tuesday of this week, we ended all that for a while.
We've heard "election" on the TV, the radio, over the
loudspeaker and in the coffee shops. We have seen "Election"
in newspapers, magazines, billboards, T-shirts (could some of
them have qualified to be considered 'obscene' under Florida's
new law?), and we have seen "election" on signs of every ilk on
our road rights of way, pine trees, utility poles and pasted on the
sides of buildings and front bumpers.
Everywhere we have turned since the first of the year, we
have been confronted with "election".
While we treasure the unique right of Americans to select
their leaders through the election process, we are just as glad to
have a few months of relief from its activity.
We have now elected us a president, a United States
senator, several local officials, including a couple of county
commissioners. We have elected a couple of members for our
state cabinet and a state senator and representative or two.
The ones elected may not be the particular candidate we
cast our vote for. In fact, unless you are a very unusual person,
we doubt very seriously if any of you picked the winning
candidate in all the positions available. You voted for a loser or
two somewhere along the line.
Still, no matter who you voted for, the ones elected are your
president, your senator, your cabinet member, etc., etc. If you
get value received from them, it is now your responsibility to
express your wishes to them so they can accurately weigh the
opinion of the majority and go about the business of governing,
secure in the knowledge they are doing what most of the people
want them to do.
Here in our county, we face some mighty tough decisions
and actions during the year ahead. We have put them off for as
long as we can. We have-tried various tactics to please state and
federal government requirements and stipulations in several
instances, but now it is time for the hard choices and we're not
real sure we're going to like them all.
We hope that before we start brow-beating our government
representatives during this year of pending hard choice's, that
we become aware of their options before we -get involved in
personalities.
In a lot of cases, we should have been more concerned about
who we voted for about two or three levels above the local man
if we hoped to maintain any sense of local control over some
matters.
So, settle back, hang on to your seats, clamp your
checkbook tightly in your fist because we have an
interesting-if not frustrating-time ahead of us.



Florida's Birthday

Florida will be 150 years old in the first week of December
and we here in Port St. Joe have a special reason to be
interested in this date which is coming up.
Port St. Joe was the site-150 years ago-of the
preparation, the bargaining and the agreeing on the document
which would officially declare Florida as a state and set out a
form of government and its powers. In short, the first
constitution of the new state of Florida was drawn up by a group
of delegates from all over the state at that time, signed, sealed
and approved in a small frame building which sat in the middle
of present-day Oak Grove.
There were a lot of famous men of the day here in old St.
Joseph at that time, performing a task which would always give
Port St. Joe a special place in .state history.
This year, a celebration will mark this 150th anniversary of
this constitution preparation and a list of activities and special
observances is being planned for the first Saturday in
December, in conjunction with the annual Christmas parade.
The celebration is being planned by our Historical Society
with Mrs. Charles Clardy in charge of the planning. We hope
you will offer your services for this special event.

Frog Jump, Tennessee Wasn't Built in a Day


I got my patience from my Fa-
ther. We'd be down in the corn-
field and Dad would drive the
wagon along the rows. David and I
would be on one side, Leon on the
other, pulling those ears and
tossing them in the wagon. Dad
would soon tire of easing along or
he'd see how much field we had
left. to cover and he'd speed up. We
had to pull and toss faster. He'd
speed up some more by now
we Were in a fast trot. It was grab,
twist, pull down, toss and keep
moving. Dave and I had a row
apiece, Leon had two. On about


the sixth or seventh pass through
the field, Dad would glance back,
see that no one had fainted yet,
and pour on some more coal.
My Dad didn't fish 'cause he
wasn't going to sit there and do
nothing if it was taking, oh ten or
fifteen seconds between bites.
And boy he could get on Mother
just a little bit if she didn't have us
all ready to go on time. You know,
thinking back, I don't remember
Dad ever helping us get ready, he
just expected us to be. It didn't
bother Mom one bit, she'd just
say, 'Yes dear" and keep on going


at her own pace. She understood
Dad much better than we did.
We'd start for the fields in the
morning and he would say, "Turn
those caps around backward
boys, I don't want to be able to tell
if you're coming or going."
We knew we weren't going to
play that game where you "make
something" out of the different
shaped clouds floating by over-
head.
I think patience, like a lot of
things. is somewhat relative. Take
Dad for instance. He wouldn't wait
five minutes in Dr. Holmes office.

COLBERT
He "didn't have time." But if he was
at the bank to ask Mrs. Morris for
a loan, he'd sit there without com-
plaint for an hour or more if that's
what it took. I guess Dad figured
he didn't have time to be sick but
he had to have the loan.
The day I got married Cathy
had me at the church three hours
before she started down the aisle.
Three hours! Can you believe
that And I was missing the base
ball game on T.V. You ever been to '
a wedding three hours before it
starts? There ain't nothing to do. I
have studied on it somewhat over
the years and I believe Cathy was
1) worried I wouldn'tishow up or
2) testing my patience. The lady
that brings the flowers hadn't
ever arrived. I checked in with Ca-
thy's mother who hugged my neck
(maybe she thought I wasn't go-
ing to make it either) and began
to straighten my tie and brush my
hair. After about ten minutes of
this she stepped back, looked me
over, said, "Just right," and took off
to tell Cathy I'd made it
I only had two hours and forty
nine minutes to go.
Fifteen minutes later I was
ready to get on down to the other
end of this cornfield. I strolled out
back, spied some kids playing
basketball across the street and
was leading" by four points when
David showed up to fetch me
back. I still had an hour left. I
hunkered down on the side steps
and was a wondering how St.
Louis was doing in the baseball
game that I was not seeing on T.V.
I got to noticing all these nice
looking, dressed up people wheel-
ing into the parking lot and then
marching toward the church. I
didn't know'em, but figured they
were kin to Cathy. They all looked
so solemn. I got to yelling down
there to'em, "I hope ya'll enjoy the
show"!',:::-. I was trying to loos-
en'er up a mite. Plus, some days
you'll do near about anything to
make it to the end of the row, you
know what I mean?
When I stepped out twenty
minutes later with the preacher I
wish you could have heard the
gasp that went up from Cathy's
side of the church.
On our honeymoon we went to
St. Louis to see some baseball.
Game time was at 7:35 and the
gates opened at 5:20. We were
there all six days at 5:20. I gave
Cathy a little patience test of my
own. I told you that stuff is rela-
tive.
Just the other day we were
running late and I hadn't helped
with the boys but I was getting on
everyone to hurry and what's the
matter and get the lead out. Cathy
came by right in the middle of all
this, patted me on the arm and
said, 'Yes dear".
Respectfully,

ETAOIN SHRDLU'


"By: Wesley R. Ramsey


I Wonder If Merganthaler Had Trouble Adjusting?


THEY'RE TRYING TO drag me
kicking, screaming and clawing into
the computer world here at this stage
in my life.
I am catching more flack than you
would ever believe for my supposed
lack of willingness to change. Actu-
ally, I'm not all that adverse to
change, I'm just getting tired of being
actively involved in it.
Do you realize how many changes
in lifestyle people of my generation
have been through? I suppose you
catch it all the time, too, for "not
keeping up with the change in the way
we live".
Down here at The Star, I get it
from all sides. I feel like Rodney
Dangerfield when he was always
lamenting, "I don't get no respect"!
This computer world is making us
all change. The part where I haven't


made up my mind yet, is do I want to
be a spectator to the change, or do I
want to take an active part. I'm
catching all sorts of goading and
urging for me to be a participant,
rather than a spectator. I'm not sure I
like it. I always thought when you
reached my age you had a choice.
DOWN HERE AT The Star, we've
been going through the throes of
changing our method of type setting
from a computer-camera-film strip
system, to a straight computer
system, using laser beam printers.
I remember the first time I ever
saw the word, "laser". It was in a
Flash Gordon funny book and was
used to kill the Martians. As a matter
of fact, I believe the laser beam was
the only thing which would kill
Martians.
How can one with that kind of
background turn off a life-time of
conditioning and think, overnight, of


laser beams as something which are
good and can be put to some useful
purpose other than killing Martians?
I don't want to kill Martians or
any of my subscribers. I just want to
put out a good newspaper, earn a
comfortable living doing it and maybe
take care of me in my old. age with
what has been built.
My son and daughter-in-law, who
work here at The Star, too,, have had
hold of my good leg for the past two
weeks, dragging me kicking, scream-
ing and clawing into the computer
age.
There was a pretty lady here last
'Thursday demonstrating the gadget
and she went home and left it here for
us to "play with" for a couple of
weeks.
Now, here I am, brainwashed
already with what laser beams do; not
knowing a dot-matrix from an icon
and I'm expected to hold out my arms
open wide and say, "come on in!


Welcome to new change in my life!"

I HAVE ALREADY gone through
two drastic changes in type-setting
.methods in my career and here I'm
being cooerced into trying for a third.
Let me tell you, there hasn't been
all that many changes in type-setting
in the history of printing. This makes
the fourth and here I've w tnessed
three of them. That's quite a
traumatic life for someone to live.
The Chinese invented moveable
type about the time Jesus Christ was
born. Merganthaler invented the
Linotype machine back in the waning
years of the last century. Then, along
came photo typesetting in the middle
to late 60's and the computer was
added to that system in the early 70's.
Now, it's straight computers. Just
those four methods since the birth of
Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago.
And now, I have witnessed three
of those four changes.


My son and daughter-in-law have
witnessed only one change. You can
see how easy it might be for them to
ridicule me for being somewhat
stand-offish to this drastically. new
chapter of my life. I was comfortable
with the other methods, but in order to
keep up-or rather to stay ahead-of
the latest way of doing things, I'm
going to have to undergo another
change in my life. It's almost as
dramatic as changing from being.
right-handed to being left-handed.
Even though I'm kicking and
screamirtg at the change, I'm going to
make it, but I'm going to make it at
my own pace. I have earned that right
and I will stick to it.
I recognize that this change will
keep your weekly newspaper here in
Port St. Joe and our printing
department just a cut above the
average in the Panhandle. I have
always had that purpose in mind;ever
since I walked in the front door on


November 10, 1952 and signed my life
away for a plant which was producing
an eight-page tabloid paper with
about 1,000 circulation. The building
was heated with a wood stove and it
was "air-conditioned" when you
opened both the front and rear doors.
The old flatbed newspaper press
was nearly 100 years old and ran 800
copies an hour. The only modern piece
of machinery was a five year old
Model 31 Linotype machine, which
still operates perfectly.
Now, the building is centrally
heated and air conditioned. Type is set
on computer-cameras and the paper
is printed on our own four unit Goss
Community newspaper press which
runs 13,000 16-page newspapers in an
hour. Things have clianged.
It may prove temporarily painful,
but I'm going to change with the
times, along with the newspaper here.
Just let me do it at my pace, if you
don't mind.

An Adage For Every Reason
Several years ago I became very interested in adages. An ad-
age is an old saying or proverb. Most sensible adages originate in
the South, as far as I'm concerned.
Before you think I'm a "die-in-the-wool" Rebel, let me give you
some of our more profound Southern adages and see if you don't
agree. A few are listed below.
-You can lead a cow to water but you can't make her take a
bath.
-Don't count your chickens before the eggs are played.
-Your brain is no stronger that its weakest think.
-A small boy is an accessory to the grime.
--Old check players never die, they just move away.
-Frown at least you'll get credit for thinking.
-A bachelor is a fellow who failed to embrace his opportu-
nities.
-Don't judge a modem girl by her clothes. There really isn't
enough evidence.
-If you snooze, you lose.
Ad you can see, these adages are very profound and meaning-
ful
++++++
There's one new saying, however, that I think is destined to
become an adage in the very near future. It was given birth by a
South Alabama man recently in a conversation I had with him.
His name is not important but it is vital to the adage that you
known that this young man was searching for a better way of life.
One day, several years ago, this young man read an advertise-
ment in a local paper that stated that construction workers were
needed in Chicago and the pay scale was more per hour than he
had ever earned in an entire day picking cotton.
He applied and was soon on his way to Chicago.
The pay was Just as the ad had promised. The living condi-
tions, however, were somewhat short of what he desired, but the
money prevailed and when the job was completed, he was asked
to travel to another northern city to start another Job that was to
last for a period of several years.
After that Job, there was another offer, then another and an-
other. What he thought was a few months work soon became a
few years and he soon realized he was destined to be "up North"
for the rest of his life. He'was miserable, to say the least!
'Why didn't you Just quit your Job and come home?" I asked.,
disbelieving.
'Well," he replied, his Southern drawl now more pronounced
than before, "the money was good, I had bought a lot of stuff that I
had to pay for and considering the pretty women up there who
loved to hear me talk, it weren't so bad at night."
"It just proves one thing," he contintied, his drawl now in slow
motion, "that wherever you go, there you are?'
"Wherever you go, there you are!" Ain't that a stinger, folks?

Gators Pull Upset


Over Bulldogs 13-7


After a rain delay and a sur-
prise long ball play late in the
game, the Wewahitchka Gators
pulled an upset win out of the hat,
edging the Bristol, Liberty County
Bulldogs, 13-7 for their fourth
conference win of the season.
The Bulldogs had the lead ear-
ly in the game, when they scored
on a 50 yard pass play from quar-
terback Jason Kombrink to Kevin
Grover with four and a half min-
utes left in the first period..
The Gators got back in the
game early in .the second quarter,
when the Gators faked a punt by
Ross Yowell. Instead of kicking
the ball away, Yowell tossed the
ball to Michael Myers and the Ga-
tors ended the play with a 52 yard
gain. Four plays later Mike Se-
well found Myers at the end zone
and threw a 23 yard strike on a
fourth down situation, to put the
Gators on the board. Brian Harris
evened the score with his kick for
the extra point.
Both teams pulled out all the
stops during the game, as they
fought for the conference victory.
With the win, the Gators now
stand at 4-2 in the conference and
still have an outside chance at the
championship.
The second half was one of
the most interesting and exciting
in Gator football, as nearly every-
thing which could happen, did
happen.
First, the intensely battling
teams had their concentration in-
terrupted in the third period,
when rains came in such torrents
that the officials stopped the
game for nearly a half hour, wait-
ing for the rains to subside. When
play finally resumed, it was on a
soggy, slippery field which would
normally rule out a passing
game. But the Gators passed, any-
way, effectively, when they had
the element of surprise in their
favor and a chance to win the
game.
With the game on the line,
time getting short, and the score
still tied at 7-7, the Gators took
their gamble. With six minutes
left in the game, Mike Sewell


combined with Andy Whitfield on
a 70-yard scoring strike which
gave the Gators their six point
margin for the win.
The Bulldogs continued to
growl, as they threatened twice
more before the final whistle
blew. Soloman Fisher saved one
attempt at a Bulldog TD with two
minutes left, when he knocked
down a potential scoring aerial
from Kombrink to Skinner.
Wayne Forehand stood in the
way of the final Bulldog threat
with only 10 second left in the
game. Forehand deflected a Bull-
dog pass to Josh Baker for the fi-
nal play of the game.
FRIDAY'S GAME
The Gators will be idle tomor-
row night as they rest up for their
final game of the season next Fri-
day night. The Gators will close
out the season at home against
Apalachicola on November 18.

Sharks
The Sharks took the edge off
the Gladiators sword Friday night
as they mauled their opponents
42-0 in Havana.
The Shark defense allowed
just 52 total yards to Havana
while the offensive unit reeled off
318 yards, 245 on the ground and
73 by air.
St. Joe wasted no time in get-
ting things started. After kicking
off to Havana, the kick coverage
team tackled Havana's returned
on the Gladiator 11 yard line. the
defensive unit held and forced a
punt from the Havana 14 yard
line-. The Sharks attempted to
block the punt and forced the
Gladiator punter to boot a short
kick, downed on the Havana 38
yard line.
The offense came on the field,
quarterback Kevin Cox dropped
back in the pocket and threw a 33
yard touchdown pass to wide re-
ceiver Ken Monette in the end
zone. Williams' extra point was
good and with 9:07 left in the first
quarter the Sharks were on top 7-
0 after just one offensive play.
From that point on the
Sharks didn't look back. The de-
fense didn't even allow the Gladia-
tors to cross their own 50 yard line
during the evening of play.
St. Joe scored again late in the
first period as David Barnes took
the hand-off from Kevin Cox and.
butted his way across the goal line
from the one capping off a seven
play 25 yard drive. Williams extra
point try was good and the Sharks
were up 14-0.
Early in the second period the
Sharks did it again as Nicholas
Rolack ran up the middle for 29
yards to set up an 18 yard touch-
down pass from quarterback Bill
Ramsey to Ken Monette, for his
second touchdown catch of the
night. Williams' extra point was
good and the Sharks led 21-0 with
8:37 left in the half.
Havana took the ensuing kick
off but on their first play Matt Tay-
lor picked off a Gladiator pass and

L oquats: Easy to Grow, Decorate Landscapes, Produce Fruit


By Roy Lee Carter
County Extension Director
Loquat trees make excellent
additions to Florida landscapes.
The trees are well-shaped ever-
greens, that are easy to care for.
During winter, when many trees
are in a semidormant state, loquat.
are in full bloom, with small, fra-
grant, white flowers. As spring
nears, loquat trees begin to bear
edible fruit.
If your homesite would benefit
from one or more flowering fruit
trees that retain an attractive ap-
pearance year around, plant
some loquat. My information on
this hardy species was provided
by Extension fruit crop specialist
Dr. Tim Crocker, of the University
of Florida's Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences.
.Loquat trees are relatively
small, reaching a height of only
25 feet when full grown. Their
leaves grow up to a foot long, and
have a fuzzy texture when young,
becoming smooth and waxy as


--
CARTER
they mature. Loquat fruit are
oval-shaped, about one or two
inches long, and dull yellow in
color. Most loquats bear fruit reg-
ularly, and often quite heavily.


For example, a five year old tree
will produce about 100 pounds of
fruit in a typical year.
Loquats may be grown in
three ways: From seeds, rooted
cuttings, and as budded trees.
They are easy to grow from seeds,
but seed-grown trees won't pro-
duce superior fruit varieties, and
may take years to bear at all. The
best fruit comes from loquats
that are vegetatively propagated.
Two ways this is done in Florida
are budding and grafting.
Loquats do best in subtropi-
cal climates. But, mature trees
can withstand temperatures as
low as 10 degrees fahrenheit
without freeze damage. However,
the blooms are easily killed by
frosts. So, loquat trees growing in
the colder areas of our state usu-
ally do not produce much fruit,
unless they're protected from the
cold.
Loquat can be grown on any
type Florida soil, as long as it's
well drained and free of salt. Lo-
quats need a good water supply


to produce good quality fruit. But,
this must be carefully monitored.
Never flood a loquat with water.
This will quickly kill a tree.
Loquats need some fertilizer
for best fruit production. When
the soil is shallow, it's a good idea
to make three or four applica-
tions of fertilizer a year. In deeper
soil, one or two annual applica-
tions are adequate. Any 8-8-8 or
10-10-10 analysis with magne-
sium should be adequate. For
specific amounts and application
dates, check with your garden
supply dealer, or County Exten-
sion Director.
Regular pruning of loquat
trees is not necessary, because
*they have naturally well-shaped,
symmetrical crowns. However,
occasional pruning may be need-
ed to remove dead wood. Also, if
you notice that your loquat is
producing very small fruit, prun-
ing a few branches may help in-
crease fruit size, by reducing the
total number of fruit clusters on
the tree.


St. Joseph Altar Society Creating,Crafts for Christmas


Christmas is Just around the'
corner! So, the ladies of the St. Jo-
seph Catholic Church Altar Soci-
ety are busy creating all sorts of
Interesting things to make holi-
day giving and decorating easy
and more enjoyable. A Christmas
Boutique and Food Shop will be


held at the Parish Hall on 20th St.
on Saturday, November 19 begin-
ning at 9:00 a.m.
This popular event is being
presented again this year in re-
sponse to many requests. Scaled
down slightly this year from a ba-
zaar to boutique, the same high


quality and originality will be
maintained. Gifts for everyone
from baby to grandmother will be
available. Decorative items for
the home will include a great va-
riety of wreaths and various orna-
ments. Among other outstanding
items will be decorated sweat


shirts designed and executed by
Amalla San Pedro.
Just in time for the holidays,
the Food Shop will feature cakes,
pies, cookies, jellies and more all
home made. All delicious.
Mark your calendars for No-
vember 19.


j To review briefly, loquat trees
make excellent additions to Flori-
da landscapes. And they can be
grown in almost all areas of our
state. They'll grow on nearly any
well-drained, salt free soil; they
need a good, but not excessive


water supply; and, they respond
well to regular fertilization and
occasional pruning. Loquats
bloom in midwinter, producing
unique, edible fruit in the spring.
If you want an attractive, hardy
fruit tree, try the loquat.

Determining Navigability, High Water Mark


The Florida Game and Fresh
Water Fish Commission has
joined the Attorney General's of-
flce in a lawsuit against the Board
of Professional Surveyors.
The suit challenges the
Board's' authority to establish
methodology for determining the
navigability of Florida's lakes, riv-
ers and streams. It also challeng-


es the Board's methodology for
determining the ordinary high
water line for those water bodies.
The ordinary high water line de-
fines the boundary between state-
owned, submerged lands and adja-
cent privately owned land.

On behalf of the Board of
Trustees of the Internal Improve-


ment Trust Fund, the Attorney
General's office has challenged
the proposal, charging that sur-
veyors are exceeding their legisla-
tive authority. It also charges that
the methodology of the rule is in-
correct and inconsistent with
state law.
The Commission file a peti-
tion to intervene in the rule chal-


Ml inulte S.. .Board of County Commissioners


lenge, saying it would be affected
substantially by the proposed
rules.

"Any boundaries determined
according to the proposed rule
would have a direct and potential-
ly adverse impact on lands owned,
managed or regulated by the Com-
mission," said Jim Antista, the
Commission's general counsel. "I
believe the survey methodology of
the rule is incorrect. It could cause
the loss of state ownership of crit-
ical wildlife habitat now under
Commission management. It also
could restrict access to lands

increased retirement rates effective

this end, the Division of Forestry
has highly trained and fully-
equipped firefighters stationed in
every county of the state, more
than 500 altogether. It also has
airplanes positioned throughout
the state, more than 500 altogeth-

helicopters based in Tallahassee
that assist when needed.
When a situation becomes
too severe for Division firefighters
to handle on a local basis, per-
sonnel is dispatched from sur-
rounding areas to help.
If the situation becomes real-

fewer wildfires and if they'll report

well worth the effort because

GULF AIRE PHASE II SUB-
DIVISION
Marvin H. Riley, President of the
Gulf Aire Property Owners Associa-
tion, appeared before the Board on
behalf of the citizens of Gulf Aire
Phase II in order to come up with a
solution with 'the'County so they can
accept the roads inthis Phase of the
subdivision. He stated that (1) they do
not know who owns the streets at this
time (Mr. Rowe Sudduth went bank-
rupt), (2) they hrve never required
assistance from the County except
nightly patrol and mosquito spraying -
and they have never received a
helpful reply to the letters they have
written to the Board, (3) they get their
water from Mexico Beach, (4) they
get their garbage pickup from Argus
Services, and (6) they have never
requested assistance from the County
for road repair (the entrance to
Beacon Road is in need of repair'at"
this time). Mr. Riley stated that he'
and Mr. Lester have discussed an
alternate plan for the ditch behind
Block C in Phase II, and he stated that
he has been told by environmental
people that this is not a.drainage ditch
(it is an overflow ditch). He then
discussed the layout of the ditches in
the area, and stated that he and Mr.
Lester have worked out an alternate
method to solve this problem. Mr.
Riley then discussed that Gulf Aire is
a money-making project for Gulf
County, but. sale of the lots has
decreased because the County has not
accepted the roads. After further
discussion by Mr. Riley, and upon
request by Chairman Birmingham,
Road Superintendent Lester gave a
report on the ditch in question: He
stated that \it is too deep and too
narrow, and he discussed that he does
not know who owns it or how the
County could go about obtaining it.
After discussion by Mr. Riley, Road
Superintendent Lester discussed
another ditch that is presenting a
problem. After further discussion
about drainage and the cost of
implementing the alternate plan (2
streets to be piped, and 3 driveways to
be piped), Attorney Rish inquired as
to whom the Board would obtain a
deed from. Mr. Riley stated that' he is
not sure, but he thinks that Ike Duren
can get a deed for' them. .Attorney
Rish discussed that the property may
be tied up in bankruptcy court.
Chairman Birmingham then apolo-
gized to Mr. Riley that he did not
receive a suitable response from the
Board, and he stated that this process
has been slowed down because of the
subdivision laws and regulations.
After further discussion of the alter-
nate plan and property ownership,
Chairman Birmingham requested
that Attorney Rish find out (as soon as
possible) who can give us these roads.
Attorney Rish stated that he should
have an answer by the October 25th
meeting. Chairman Birmingham also
directed road Superintendent Lester
to check into the costs of executing the
alternate plan, and to provide
sketches of this plan to each Commis-
sioner.
The meeting then recessed for a
short break (7:50 p.m.).
The meeting reconvened at 8:05
p.m.
APPROVE MINUTES
Upon motion by Commissioner
Branch, second by Commissioner
Traylor, and unanimous vote, the
Board approved the minutes of
September 13, 1988 Regular Meeting,
and September 15, 1988 Special
Meeting.
BUCKHORN LANDFILL CLO-
SURE PLAN
Ella Brown, of Baskerville-Don-
ovan Engineers, appeared before the
Board to present the completed
Closure Plan for the Buckhorn
Landfill. She then introduced Glen
Halstead, stating that he mainly
worked on this Plan. Mr. Halstead
discussed the permit application, and
important dates that must be met in
the closure process. He also discussed
the plan and that the site must be
maintained for 20 years. Ms. Brown
stated that Admin. Asst. Wells and


Mosquito Control Director Graves
have been given draft copies of the
plan. Commissioner Branch moved
that the Board allow the Engineers to
submit the Plan-Permit Application to
the Department of Environmental
Regulation, and Commissioner Money
seconded the motion. Commissioner
Peters stated that he is opposed to
closing the Buckhorn Landfill because
it will make the County more
dependent on Bay County, and he
stated that he is in support of using
liners at the landfill. Commissioner
Branch stated that the Board had no
choice but to close Buckhorn, even
though they may apply for permits for
another Class I landfill. The motion
then passed with the following vote.
Chairman Birmingham and Commis-
sioners Branch, Money, and Traylor
voted yes. Commissioner Peters voted
no. Ms. Brown discussed the possibil-
ity of the Board applying for a permit
for a Class III landfill, and reported
that the permit will be submitted
tomorrow.
DIVISION OF FORESTRY
SURVEY MARKER
Road Superintendent Lester re-
ported that Bob Barrows, of ,the
Florida Forestry Service, told him
that a County Grader had knocked
down one of their State survey
markers, and has requested that the
County have a surveyor replace it.
Road Superintendent Lester stated
that the marker was located where
you turn from the Saul's Creek Road
into Douglas Landing. Upon inquiry,
Road Superintendent Lester stated


that he has no way of determining
whether or not the County's grader
knocked down the marker. After
further discussion, Chairman Bir-
mingham requested that Attorney
Rish write them a letter stating that
the Board will be glad to negotiate
with their Tallahassee office concern-
ing this matter.
CONVENTION BUILDING
INSPECTOR
Building Inspector Manuel re-
quested permission to attend the
Southern Building Code Congress
International Convention on October
23-27, 1988. Commissioner Traylor
moved the Board approve this re-
quest, and Commissioner Money
seconded the motion. Ms. Hough
discussed that per information at the
last meeting, the Building Inspector's
contract ends on September 3, 1988.
After discussion, the motion passed
with the following vote. Chairman
Birminham and Commissioners
Branch, Money, and, Traylor voted
yes. Commissioner Peters voted no.
DITCH MAINTENANCE
Mosquito Control Director Graves
requested the Board's permission to
clean a portion of a ditch (belonging to
the County) on the Overstreet High.
-way just outside of Wewahitchka.
Upon motion by Commissioner Tray-
lor, second by Commissioner Money,
and unanimous vote, the Board
approved this request.
MOSQUITO SPRAYING
Upon inquiry by Mosquito Control
Director Graves, Chairman Birming
ham directed him to continue "doub
le-time" mosquito spraying. Upon
inquiry by Ms. HOugh about a certain
breed of mosquito, Mosquito Control
Director Graves stated that he could
send one of them to Jacksonville to be
analyzed.
MOSQUITO CONTROL DE-
ARTMENT EQUIPMENT
Mosquito Control Director Graves
requested permission to purchase a
lawn mower, in the amount of $699.00,
through the State bid price before
September 30, 1988. Upon motion by
Commissioner Branch, second by
Commissioner Traylor, and unani-
mous vote, the Board approved this
request.
BUCKHORN LANDFILL
Upon inquiry by Mosquito Control
Director Graves about the weekend
employees at the Buckhorn Landfill,
Chairman Birmingham directed him
to keep an employee there on the
weekends until the Board decides
what to do with the garbage. Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Peters
about comp-time-overtime pay, At-
torney Rish stated that the Board has
the precedent to give comp-time,
instead of paying overtime.
LITTER -SIGNS
Sheriff Harrison requested that
the Board erect "Pleast Do Not
Litter" signs at the 5 major entrances
to Gulf County. After discussion,
Chairman Birmingham gave the
chair to Vice-Chairman Money, and
moved he Board have Shefiff Harrison
and Admin. Asst. Wells to work out
the wording for the signs to be placed
at every major entrance into Gulf
County (welcoming them and request-
ing that they not litter), and bring it
back at the next meeting. Commis-
sioner Branch seconded the motion,
and stated that a Department of
Transportation permit must be ob-
tained for placement of these signs.
Sheriff Harrison reported that he has
contacted them concerning this, and
there should be no problem. After
discussion about placing signs
throughout the County, Commissioner
Peters stated that he would like for
the signs to say "Clean is Beautiful."
Upon vote, the motion passed unan-
imously. Chairman Money then re-
turned the Chair to Commissioner
Birmingham.
COMMODITY PROGRAM CON-
TRACT
Admin. Asst. Wells requested the
Board's permission for the Chairman
to sign the Commodity Program
Contract for the 1988-89 fiscal year

unanimous vote, the Board approved
