Driver Injured In Two Vehicle Crash


Jeff Hinote of Port St. Joe, suf-
fered severe leg injuries and was
trapped for a while in his 1983
Ford Ranger pick-up in an acci-
dent early Monday morning.
According to investigating of-
ficers, Hinote was headed in a
westerly direction on Highway 98
and had just crossed the railroad
overpass at about 7-00 a.m., wheri
his truck collided with a recrea-
tional trailer being pulled by a
1980 pick-up truck, being driven


by Harry J. Evans of Harrah, Ok-
lahoma.
Hinote's vehicle was meeting
the truck driven by Evans and
struck the left side of the trailer
inflicting heavy damage to both
vehicles. The entire left side of Hi-
note's truck was demolished.,
trapping him inside for a period
of time, before he was removed by
the Gulf County Rescue Squad, us-
ing the Jaws of Life.
Hinote was taken to Gulf


Pines Hospital by Gulf County
ambulance for treatment of inju-
ries to his left leg.
No other injuries were report-
ed.
The Florida Highway Patrol
charged Hinote with failure to
drive in a single lane.
The accident was investigated
by the Florida Highway Patrol,
the Gulf County Sheriffs Depart-
ment and the Port St. Joe Police
Department.


History and

Inspirations
Port St. Joe will be hosting a
birthday party for the state of
Florida this week end, as the state
marks the sesquicentennial of
the drafting and signing of the
state's constitution back in 1838
here in Port\St. Joe, known as St.
Joseph at the time.
Actually, the celebration will
be a double-barrel affair. with the
annual Christmas parade, kick-
ing off the Christmas season, also
being a part of a giant parade to
observe the sesquicentennial cel-
ebration.
Sesquicentennial will actual-
ly begin at noon today, in Talla-
hasiee. At that hour, a proclama-
tion, signed by Governor Bob
Martinez, will be read on the Cap-
itol steps by Representative Rob-
ert Trammell, officially opening
the period of celebration..
Runners of the Gulf Winds
Track Club will then begin a mar-
athon run from the Capitol,
bringing the proclamation to Port
St. Joe. The relay team is expected
to have its representatives arrive
in Port St. Joe Friday afternoon
at 2:00 p.m., where the proclama-
tion will be turned over to Port St.
Joe Mayor Frank Pate.
The proclamation will be de-
livered to the historical monu-
ment in Constitution Park in
front of the Centennial Building.
Port St. Joe's high school band
and the NJROTC cadets will be in-
volved in a flag raising ceremony.

DER Demands Racism Claim, Mar Meeting
DER.,. Demands -Ma Met


Gulf County is in a predica-
ment again with the Department
of Environmental Regulation
with its garbage landfill at Buck-
horn.
Earlier this fall, the county
had been ordered and had agreed
to close the Buckhorn site and had
filed an expensive engineering
plan as to just how it would go
about closing the landfill.
Last week, DER returned the
plan, saying it contained an engi-
neering error which dated back to
a monitoring plan of some five


years ago. The error, which had
been approved by the DER, was
cited as a reason why the county's
closing plan was being turned
down.
At Tuesday night's meeting,
where this matter was brought up
for discussion, the Commission
felt the DER was coming down too
hard on them, expecting a correc-
tion of actions which DER had ap-
proved five years ago. IPER, how-
ever, has ordered the county to
correct the mistake and submit
another plan.


These plans cost a lot of mon-
ey. They are in great detail and
must be prepared by engineers.
WELLS INSTALLED WRONG
The problem with the closure
plan, according to DER, is that
monitoring wells, installed to
monitor possible pollution to un-
derground water, were placed in
the wrong place. The report com-
plaint says the wells were placed
on the upstream side of the land-
fill, rather than on the down-
stream side. Water is now being
monitored before it goes through


the fill area, rather than after It
has passed through.
The Commission feels that
since this situation has existed
for the five years, DER should be
responsible for its correction. To
deal with DER in this matter, at-
torney William J. Rish has been
directed to contact DER officials
and try to work out a plan accept-
able to the county for correcting
the mistake. "After all, DER made
the error by accepting the plan
containing the error in the first

City Getting All Dolled 1
The City of Port St. Joe is getting all spiffed up for the holidays and
the future this week, as a project of planting greenery on Reid Avenue
and putting up Christmas decorations got into full swing late last week.
A project of installing the greenery on Reid Avenue got into high
gear as all the loose ends started coming together about the middle of
last week, with the arrival of special grates to be placed around the
plants and Tracy Pierce, of Ming's Nursery, received delivery of the
plants.
City crews concentrated on making some 40 holes in the paving


Up for the Holidays; Reid Avenue Being Beautified


downtown late last week and the first of this week. Pierce started in-
stalling the plants Friday of last week and has worked getting many of
the plants in the ground prior to the big sesquicentennial celebration
and Christmas parade this week end. Placing the holes in the paving
was completed Tuesday of this week and planting of the red tip shrubs is
scheduled to be complete by the end of the week.
After getting the holes in the ground, city crews then put their atten-
tion to getting Christmas decorations put up. Public works superinten-
dent Martin Adkinson said windy weather kept the crews from climb-


ing ladders to install decorations Monday, but said if they get decent
weather, the decorations will all be in place and shining bright by the
week end.
In' the photo at left, Horace Barr, Roosevelt Beard and John Sterzoy
are shown cutting one of the square holes in Reid Avenue paving. In the
center photo, one of the red tip shrubs is shown in place on the street
and din the photo at right, Ricky Farmer and Bobby Fields are shown
on the end of a dragline arm, installing Christmas decorations.

Ready To



Tackle Jobs

The new boards are now sworn in here in Gulf County and
ready to tackle the various and real problems which face the
county now and into the future. Their's is not going to be an
easy task. It will require all their expertise and whatever exper-
tise they can muster elsewhere. They will need no kibitzing nor
harassing from the sidelines, thank you.
We make this last statement because we feel the undivided
attention of the Commission will be needed for the better part
of this year to handle our considerable problem with waste dis-
posal. The Board will need all their wits about them to deal
with an ever demanding Department of Environmental Regula-
tion. Please don't distract them with petty bickering nor with
unreasonable demands.
Come December 30 and the real problem begins. We say
"real problem" because that real problem is going to be where do
we get some $260,000 to pay Bay County for burning our trash
during the coming year. That's what Bay county says it wants
for payment for Gulf to use its incinerator to burn our solid
waste. With DER's demands on the county, this will be the only
game in town for Gulf county for the better part of the year.
While Bay County is burning up our money every day, all
year long, we will be disappointed if our commissioners aren't
spending every minute they can hunting for a viable alterna-
tive to the Bay County hold-up. We think that's what Bay's de-
mands for incineration actually are. A good portion of that sol-
id waste was hauled over here from Bay County stores, where a
goodly portion of the sales tax revenue Bay County uses to fi-
nance their incinerator operations were also paid by Gulf
County people. In other words, we feel we have already paid our
share of that operation just like Bay County people have with-
out being saddled with a $260,000 per year surcharge.
We hope our commissioners will be busy all year long com-
ing up with such alternatives of exploring the possibility of
converting one of the idle Basic, Inc., furnaces to bum our solid
waste. Or maybe, they could spend a few moments making a
study on purchasing our own small incinerator. The $260,000
price tag for burning and the expense of hauling our solid waste
to Bay County should pay for a pretty good incinerator in just a
short while.
We hope the commission spends at least a little time this
coming year thinking about these and other things.



150 Years Ago

There has been a lot of people doing quite a bit of work to
bring you the week end which will be experienced here in Port
St. Joe and Gulf County this weekf end.
It's the marking of the Sesquicentennial of the constitution
of Florida, which was agreed upon and signed right here in Port
St. Joe back in 1838.
It's also the time for Port St. Joe's annual Christmas pa-
rade, which is sponsored and paid for by the Merchants Associ-
ation.
This week end should please everyone. There will be a lot to
do, a lot to see, a lot to listen to and a lot to participate in. And
somebody did all the work for whatever it is you choose to en-
joy this week end.
It would be presumptuous of us to say you owe anybody any-
thing for what is available this week end, but we can say every-
one should appreciate the activities of the week enough to at
least express that appreciation by attending and being a specta-
tor for the week end.
While we're in the holiday mood of wishing everyone well,
we're going to express our thanks to the Department of Trans-
portation for repairing our street here on Fifth Street-which
also their street; Highway 71.
We'll also not let the opportunity pass by without telling
DIOT we'd like to see the same type of attention ggven to High-
way 98 where it runs through the city.

We've only Just Begun I


November 29. 1988. Today is
my oldest son's 13th birthday.
Now, I know what you're thinking
- I'm not old enough to have a son
13 years old. You're right I don't
know how that little fellow got to
be so old so fast. Why, just yester-
day he was a two year old scream-
ing his head off in the other room
at three o'clock in the morning.
Boy howdy, I'd have to wake Ca-
thy up and tell her to go in there
and do something. It was rough,
He doesn't scream on cue at
three a.m. any more. But Cathy
and I were awake at that hour last
night talking about this teenager
stuff. Listen, I've heard nightnrare
type stories about raising teenag-
ers. I assured Cathy that every-
thing would be all right. Josh
would be o.k. He's a good kid. But
you know I have noticed a few
changes besides the voice and
the pimples. Either my hearing
has gotten much keener in just
the last few weeks or Josh is
a'playing that radio much louder.


And he's not listening to George
Jones anymore. He plays the
same song over and over. You've
probably heard it. The drums and
guitars and pianos screech In
perfect disharmony and some-
body is choking the lead singer
'cause you can't really understand
what he's a'saying. But I believe
the poor guy must be yelling for
help. I asked Josh about it. "Ah
Dad, it's just a song."
I turned 13 in 1960. Ike was
still president and no one had
ever heard of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band. We listened to
real music by Johnny Cash,
Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Hey, you remember Muddy Waters
he had a great one called, "Got
My Mo-Jo Working, But It Just
Won't Work On You." Johnny Hor-
ton had the number one hit of the
year with "The Battle of New Or-
leans." Real Americans. Mother,
as I recall, was a bit upset that we
listened to the Kingstbn Trio
singing about hanging' that Tom


COLBERT


Dooley fellow. I remember she
kept asking me about it. "Ah Mom,
it's just a song."
I heard the clock strike four
a.m. I've got to get some sleep. I
again assured Cathy things will
beo.k. I can relate to 13 year old
boys. I understand them. I used to
be one. I told her I'd have a long
talk with Josh about being a
teenager. After all, I made it
through those years without any
major problems. Ofcourse, there
was that night in jail, but that
wasn't my fault. Bobby was just
showing us how we could slip into
the post office by climbing up the
mail chute. We were cutting some
wheelies in a mail cart when the

Thanksgiving Was A Beautiful Day for A Day Off From Work


THANKSGIVING WAS A
couple of days' vacation for us
here at The Star, and I'm thankful
to tell you, we had a great time.
As usual, we went to Fren-
chie's momma's for Thanksgiving
dinner and spent a couple of days
there visiting.
Actually, we had Thanksgiv-
ing dinner at baby brother's
house, along with about 25 or 30
other people. There was a physi-
cal therapist, a doctor, a retired
preacher who was also an accom-
plished hypnotist and other and
sundry assorted people and
trades at that dinner.
Thanksgiving day was a beau-
tiful day and the food was good.

MY OLDEST DAUGHTER


also went to grandma's house for
Thanksgiving dinner and took
along her new husband. He didn't
want to stay at home by himself,
so he went along.
I found out some things about
my newest son-in-law during the
day of Thanksgiving I didn't know
before. Frankly, he's going to have
to shape up if he expects to stay
in this family in good standing.
The boy has his priorities
mixed up.
He saw an old claw-foot bath-
tub advertised in a newspaper up
there and nothing would do in
late afternoon on Thanksgiving
day but that we would drive some
15 miles to take a look at this
claw-foot bathtub.
I'll get right to the part where
we were coming back to grand-
ma's house in downtown Elberta,
which is on the western edge of


Warner Robins, Ga. We were driv-.
ing down Watson Boulevard, the
main drag in Warner Robins and
about three miles long and lied
by stores, fast food eating places
and the like. I
Catherine remarked, "I'd like
to have some ice cream".
Joe was driving and I. re-
marked there was a Baskin-
Robbins ice cream store right
down the street.
We were tooling right along
on that 6-lane street, when all of a
sudden, I jumped forward in my
seat, stiffened my pointing hand
in the direction about 60 degrees
off the left front fender and shout-
ed, 'There it isl"
That Joe was going right on
by that Baskin-Robbins store,
with the lame excuse that he
didn't see it.
That's what I mean about get-


ting his priorities straight. He
was paying more attention to that
six lane street than he was to
watching for the Baskin-Robbins
ice crearp store sign.
If he stays in the family,
though, we'll correct that defi-
ciency.
+++++
WE HAD TO GET back early
to get ready for the beginning of
this week, so Frenchie and I piled
into the station wagon, after root-
ing out a place to set, and started
home Saturday morning.
If you have ever been to Fren-
chie's momma's house, you would
know what I mean.
By the time we got into the car
to return home, it was so loaded
down with important things like
old wooden ball bats, heirloom
tea pots [with the lid missing],
glasses, lamps, daddy's old band


saw, an old brass bedstead, two
or three pound cakes, genuine
heirloom quilts and afghans, a
grocery sack or two of assorted
items, a few items we had pur-
chased after making an obligato-
ry trip of an hour or two to the
mall, an old twisted stick-yes,
an old stick!, and various and
sundry other items, there was
hardly room for us in the car.
It took longer to unload after
we got home than it took to drive
from here to Bainbridge, Ga.
These packrats I have in my
family
+ ++ + +
STARTING HOME EARLY
we took a side trip and did some-
thing I have wanted to do for a
long time. We came back by and
stopped at Andersonville Nation-
al Park, where the Confederates
operated an infamous prisoner of


war camp during the Civil War.
The tour of the park was in-
teresting and I wasn't disap-
pointed after waiting all this long
in my life to go there.
The Confederates had some
43,000 Yankee prisoners of war
impounded in a 72 acre field with
nothing but a small stream about
a foot wide running through the
middle for water and the lower
end to serve as a sewer for the
compound.
There were 12,000 of these
43,000 prisoners who died from
neglect and disease during the
war.
After Just seeing 'War. A Re-
membrance" on TV a few nights
before, I was reminded once
again the Germans weren't the
only ones to treat men in a vile
manner. It happened at Ander-
sonville, too.

on. And then, there was the night
Leon and' some others took the
light off the police car. As I told
Daddy later, I didn't do nothing. I
just happened to be standing
there. We gave it back. Most folks
thought it was funny. My Dad
didn't. He whipped me "for a
while."
My folks just weren't hip when
I was a teenager. You know what I
mean, Vern. Listen, my Dad got
upset when I bleached my hair
with peroxide. Can you imagine
that. .Everybody was doing it. I'm
much more "with it" as a parent. I
understand the fads that kids go
through. Josh for his birthday
wanted a body board (whatever
that is) and a denim jacket. Talk
about some changes over the
years. All I could afford when I
was 13 was denim jackets. We
didn't like'em but we had to wear
them. Now kids want to wear
those things. I paid fifty bucks for
a blue jean jacket that I could
have bought from Woodrow Ken-
non's Mercantile for four dollars
in 1960. But it's his birthday and
I'm hip, I shelled out the money
and Josh is styling it. I didn't buy
a body board I ain't raising no

The Holiday Season
The Holiday Season is upon usl
Thanksgiving through New Year's Day is my favorite time of
year, next to Spring. There is no day quite like a warm, spring day
after a long, cold winter.
Holidays, however, are very special to me. The week of
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a festive, celebrated time of
each year.
It's the time people begin to cook much food and it's special
food; the king we've wanted to eat in abundance all year long. We
just have a good excuse to eat it during the holidays.

Turkey is special this time of year because the Pilgrims ate it
to celebrate the first Thanksgiving, but it is only the beginning.
Besides turkey there must be giblet gravy, dressing, peas and
butterbeans, corn, sweet potatoes, fresh cornbread and iced tea.
Who can eat all that without topping it off with some punkin'
or pecan pie or, my favorite, lemon icebox pie. And what would a
good, piping hot cup of coffee be without some delicious, fresh,
homemade cookies to dip in it?
Food is abundant during the holidays, but it is just one of the
things I love about the holidays.
Have you ever noticed how friendly everyone become be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christmas? There seems to be a friend-
ly "spirit" that invades our world during this time of year. Why,
one day last holiday season a man I know from up North actually
said something friendly to me!
That's proof positive that there's something to the spirit of
the Holiday Season!
God knew what he was doing when he made it winter during
the holidays. It's a secure feeling to be inside your home, away
from the elements, with good food cooking and the aroma per-
meating the house. And usually the family is home and that adds
a luster to an already pleasant atmosphere.
I particularly enjoy the music of the holidays, especially
Christmas music. .Christmas carols remind me of happy, care-
free times of childhood where there wasn't an abundance of gifts
under the tree, but all that were placed there were well appreciat-
ed and anticipated. There was always plenty of food and such,
though.
One thing I always wanted as a child was a '"White Christ-
mas". I was almost grown before I experienced a few while living
in Tennessee. The first one was nice, but a few is too many. I'll
settle for a cool day with sunshine in Florida, our home.
The absolutely, most wonderful thing about the holidays is
children and it's the one thing that is fast becoming extinct at our
home. All children have a way of growing up and ours are doing it
at an alarming rate. The holidays won't be the same without
them.
We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving this year that we
have ever had. Everything was as perfect as it could be and we are
now looking forward to an equally enjoyable Christmas. With all
the children almost grown, however, it won't be the same.
Forgive me for cutting this a little short, but I must stop and
get my letter written to Santa Claus, I was late last year and
didn't get everything I asked for.

Looks like a hippie. I talked to
him about looking decent and be-


ing neat and all that but he just
rolls his eyes and says, "Ah Dad."
But we are going to work it
out. Like I said, I've been 13. fun-
derstand how things are. I've got a
great relationship with my'chil-
dren. I prop my eyes open, say
happy birthday and sit down to
have our little talk. I'm going to
begin by reflecting on what it's
like to be 13.
"Josh,: son, do you know the
difference between you being 13
and me being 137'
'Yeah Dad, about 30 years."
Smart-aleck teenagers.
Respectfully,
Dad

place", chairman Doug Birming-
ham said.
Apparently the wells were
placed too deep in the ground,
also, monitoring water from a
deep aquifer, rather than testing
ground water as the wells were in-
tended.
Still, the plans and .thIe InsLa-.
lation had to meet the require-
ments of DER, who gave their
stamp of approval at the time and
now want to recant.
The Board is taking the posi-
tion they had no way of knowing

ities had been directed by DER.
CLAIMS RACISM
Commissioner Nathan Peters,
Jr., hurled a charge of conspiracy
and racism at the rest of the board
members last.Tuesday; especially
at newly installed Commissioner
Ed Creamer. -.
When iftcame time to name'a
chairman for the commission fbr
the coming year's activities',
Creamer made the motion that
Doug Birmingham serve for an-
other year in the chair, observing
that the county faces many seri-
ous problems for the coming year
arid he would prefer to have a
chairman with considerable ex-
perience as the leader of the
group.
Peters observed he had two
years' experience on the board and
then charged Creamer with con-
spiracy and racism.
Peters startled the audience
and the Commission with his
charge, which came with no warn -
ing.
Creamer said, "I'm sorry ou
brought that up. My intentions
were not racist. All I see in you is
another commissioner. I don't see
what color you are".
Creamer went on to point out
to Peters that the two had world
together for "eight or ten yeats"
and felt Peters could see from that
experience that he was not preju-
diced toward minorities. '
Peters, the only other hold-
over on the Commission other
than Birmingham said he felt he
should have been considered tor

Graceville Hands Gators 24-0 Defeat


The Wewahitchka Gators were
surprised to find the play-off foot-
ball in their side of the court early
last week, but had their euphoric
bubble burst by the Graceville Ti-
gers Friday night.
The Gators had edged the Ti-
gers last year in the champion-
ship play-offs and they were out
for revenge as the two teams met
on the Gators' home field. The Ga-
tors met the Tigers in the first
round game of the play-offs, with
the Tigers as the favorites. After
the dust had cleared, the Gators
handed the Tigers a 13-7 loss on a
couple of big plays.
Friday night, it was the Ti-
gers' turn to return the favor, and
they did.They turned Deveroe
Lawrence loose on their first play
from scrimmage and Lawrence
clicked off a sparkling 84 yard
run for his first of two touch-
downs for the evening.. Lawrence
stung the usually strong Gator de-
fense for 134 yards in only eight
carries. The Tigers ran for a total
of 297 yards on a rain-slick field
while the Gators could manage
only 70 yards of running offense.
Neither team made a mark
passing, as the rain limited the
passing gains to only 18 for the
Tigers, and 17 for the Gators.
When the dust[?] settled, the
Gators had been knocked out of

play-off contention, 24-0.
The Tigers kept their eye on
Gator threat, Michael Myers all
night long. Myers had scored five
times against Apalachicola to
grab their opportunity at the play-
offs two weeks ago.
The rain shut down Mike Se-


well's usually effective passing
game as the Tigers took charge of
the game's outcome.
Graceville scored the first time
they touched the ball in ,the first
quarter on the 84 yard run by Law-
rence. Lawrence scored again in
the third period on an eight yard


run, followed by a two-point toss
for the conversion. Derrick White
scored on a 17 yard dash and Rick
Horton kicked a 26 yard field goal
in the final quarter, for the Tigers.
The Gators finished the season'
with a 7-4 record, plus a win in the
Kansas tie-breaker game.

The Port St. Joe High Cross-

Saturday where they participated
in the District I 2A Cross-
Country Meet. The Sharks fared
well in their first cross-country

kin.
The district met was won by
Pace who finished with 23 points,
-Marianna finished second with 53
points, Port St. Joe finished third
with 58 points and Pensacola
Catholic finished fourth.
The top five finishers in the

tion, the Sharks lost, 19-12, to the
Rutherford Rams.
Coach Jim Belin says he has
14 players out for the squad this

starters from last year's squad.
Junior Eric Langston and sopho-
more Willie Smith are the sum to-

The head coach said his team
will have a new look this season..
"We won't have a lot of height,
but we will have speed on our
squad. We'll be forced to press a lot
and will use a number of players
in every game.'"
'"We'll probably travel with all

Both Old and New Port St. Joe


Railroads Play Vital Role in Our History


While Florida Is observing its
Sesquicentennial this week end,
Port St. Joe will also be marking
the days of long ago, when the city
was one of the most hustling and
bustling places in Florida. Port
St. Joe, in 1838, was one of the
hubs of commerce in the fledgling
state, and one of the largest cities
in the territory.
Uke the Port St. Joe of today,
St. Joseph of 150 years ago de-
pended on business and trade to
exist. Florida had not then con-
cocted the bright idea it could pick
tourists instead of oranges for its
means of livelihood. Actually, it
had not even hit upon the idea of
becoming a supplier of much of
the citrus fruit the nation needed.
Old St. Joseph was a city
which had been founded because
land owners in Apalachicola had
been told their land was no longer
theirs. If they wanted to maintain
ownership, they would have to
purchase it all over again. An old
Spanish grant, giving a huge
chunk of land to one family had
been honored by the courts and
the city of Apalachicola was with-
In that land grant.
It was strictly a matter of
business which caused the people
to begin coming to St. Joseph.
They came to St. Joseph because it
was outside the land grant and
close enough to the Apalachicola
River to make it possible to at-
tract the lucrative cotton
shipping business which was
coming down the river each and
T every day.
All it would take would be to
divert the river steamers into
Lake Wimico, which would bring
the cotton shipping business to
within six miles of St. Joseph. If
the cotton could be brought this
close, surely a way could be fig-
ured out to get the other six miles
to the deep harbor at, St. Joseph
and take advantage of this con-
siderable shipping revenue.
The idea was to build a rail-
Sroad from Lake Wimico to St. Jo-
seph. Railroads weren't all that
plentiful back in 1838 and to
build one through a swampy wil-
derness, if only for six miles, was
A pretty much of a wild dream.
There were enough people
around with enough money to try
.and make what seemed like a wild
idea become a reality and old St.
Joseph's boom days started riding
.I ito town on two" wodenh strings-
of timber, topped with a strip of
steel attached to each rail.
The railroad had come to old
St Joseph.
St Joseph's boom rode in or
the rails of the state's first steam
railroad. This line was built in\
1835 and was, not only the first
one in Florida, but one of the first
in the south and in the nation.
By 1838, according to records
in the state library in Tallahas-
see, enough people had steamed
into St. Joseph then to make it
Florida's largest city.



















I


St. Joseph had arrived, and it
had made its mark on the two
slender strips of steel, which car-
ried a small Baldwin locomotive
pulling a few small cars. It was
the St. Joseph-Lake Wimico Rail-
road.
The railroad was to build St.
Joseph to dizzing heights for the
1830's and other railroads were to
have just as,enormous an impact
on the rest of the state, as it de-
pended on railroads to open up
virgin territory and carry the ne-
cessary goods people needed to
survive.
LOTS SEL FOR $5,000
During the early boom days,
lots 80x100 feet were selling for
$5,000 each, according to state li-
brary records. The town was flou-
rishing.
But within a few years, storms
and disease wiped out St. Joseph.
Records show that a lot, complete
with house, then could be bought
for only $37.50.
All that remains of St. Joseph
today is a monument marking the
site of Florida's first constitution-
al convention.
NEW CITY REVIVES AREA
Old St. Joseph's demise wasn't,
the end of an idea that the natural
harbor here in Port St. Joe should
not be allowed to go to waste. It
had to be good for transportation
purposes.
Again, the dream of railroads
became the breath of economic
life to Port St. Joe.
The Apalachicola Northern
Railroad was incorporated on
April 7, 1903, for the primary pur-
pose of building and operating a
railroad from Apalaphicola to
River Junction [now Chatta-
hoochee].
Secondary considerations in-
cluded any extensions the stock-
holders desired to build, plus the
owning and operating of floating
equipment. It was conceived that
Apalachicola would be an impor-
tant port for both passengers and
freight from which water trans-
portation would provide access to
points in the Panhandle where
other modes of travel were diffi-
cult.
On April 30, 1907, the 80 miles
of track. between River Junction
and Apalachicola were! complete.
This Included a five mile trestle
across the A.gf.h .cla River...
marsh, with approximately two
hundred feet of swinging span,
which still Is in use, allowing riv-
er traffic to pass when trains are
not crossing. I
The first (rapri to arrive in Ap-
alachicola was ja work train,
pulled by engine 101, type 4-4-0,
with engineer George Johnson at
the throttle. C. C. Williams was
conductor.
Later that same day, a second
> train arrived hauling the first pas-
sengers with engine 102, type 4-4-
0, with engineer F. Campbell at the
controls and Tom McPhaul as


Groups made weekend excursions to St. Joseph Bay on special schedules during the early part of the century. Here people who
came to enjoy the beach gathe at the end ofa railroad pier located about where St. Joe Forest Products is today.

conductor. /
Portions of the line were bdIlt
by the Morey Engineering and'
Construction Company. The re-
mainder was built by the railroad
forces. At River Junction, connec-
tions were made with the Louis-
ville and Nashville, Atlantic
Coast Line and Seaboard Airline
railroads. -


At Apalachicola, schedules
connected with coastwise steam-
boat lines. Oyster, shrimp and fish
canneries-were served.-A number
of sawmills and turpentine stills
furnished important traffic from
various points along the line.
By 1909, because of the depth
of Apalachicola Bay [eight feet],
the port could not accommodate
the larger ocean going ships now
being constructed.
With the Panama Canal to be
completed in approximately four
years, a deep water port would be
necessary in order to compete with
the rail and sea port market.

as a major seaport continued, ac-
celerated by the coming of better
roads and the improvement of
highway passenger cars and
trucks. Coupled with the situa-
tion was the growing importance
of Port St. Joe as an industrial
center and a port of ocean-going
vessels.
Nevertheless, service to Apa-
lachicola staggered on until 1960,
when on March 8 of that year, the
Apalachicola Northern Railroad
petitioned the ICC for permission
to abandon the 2.7 mile segment
of track, now a branch, between
Franklin and Apalachicola. The
request was granted July 21, and
became effective 30 days later.
If natural resources were the
ingredients which caused people
to want to develop Port St.Joe and
old St. Joseph, it was railroads
which provided the fertilizer to
make them grow and continuing
to prosper. When the railroads
could rio longer make a go of it.,
Port St. Joe and old St. Joseph
both knew hard times.

[Most of the dates and infor-
mation for this article were pro-
vided by William H. Howell of
Port St. Joe, an amateur histori-
an of railroads; especially the Ap-
alachicola Northern Railroad.]

Celebration

was to extend the track from
Franklin to Port St. Joe, a dis-
tance of 20 miles. Captain Fred
Maddox of Apalachicola, would
make depth soundings in St. Jo-
seph Bay at Port St. Joe to locate
20 feet of water where it was near-
est shore, so a dock could be con-
structed to accommodate ships
.- and track. This would permit di-
rect loading or unloading from
rail cars to ships.
The white sand beaches, clear
blue green water and abundance of
fish would lead to a promotion of
tourism by the railroad for the
area, and would increase rail pas-
senger revenue.
The 20 mile extension from
.. Franklin to Port St. Joe was com-
S. pleted May 1, 1910. Initial pas-
senger service of this extension.
was in the nature of branch line
service. The 1910 schedule indi-
cated Apalachicola as a major
component of the "main line"
with one passenger train daily
S.-- from Apalachicola to Port St. Joe
and return and four trains from
Apalachicola to River Junction
and return daily.
.Two special excursion trains
from River Junction to Port St.
IL Joe and return ran on Sunday
.L only with passengers for the
W- A beaches and salt water activities.
S By 1918, all passenger trains
were running through to Port St.
Joe, joining other cars at Frank-
lin for the trip "up the branch" to
Apalachicola.
A forecast of things to come
occurred in 1922 when the Georgia,

pany, then operating a freight and
passenger boat service between

Be Faithful As You're Able


Several years ago, when we
lived in another community, we
had neighbors who owned a
house with a large swimming
pool. Whenever they would leave
town, our oldest son would be in
charge of the pool.
Because we were living in
South Florida, where there is a lot
more sun and rain, the pool had
to be checked daily for the right


chemical concentrations. John
took his job very seriously. Each
day, after school, he would run a
test, add the appropriate chemi-
cals, and gleefully mix the com-
pounds by making several dives
and swimming a few laps.
John liked the responsibility.
He faithfully performed his task,
and he enjoyed the work. But
that's not all. When our neighbors

efforts.
Have you ever had to do
something for someone who was
absent? Did you enjoy the task?
Were you always faithful to the re-
sponsibility?.
Our blessed Savior has left
you and me with a responsibility
far greater than any neighbor
could leave with us. We are called
to live our lives for him. If we are
to do a good job, we niust test the
water each day, add the right in-
gredients, and make as big a
splash as possible.
For Christians, tie right in-
gredients are prayeri study, and

prayers today? Have you read the
Word of God? Have you been ap-
plying yourself to making this
world a better place?!

Church


The Lord has been absent
from His earthly form for a long
time now. But our task is still the
same as it was for His first disci-
ples. If we seriously, faithfully,
and joyously live our lives for Him,
He will be pleased. When He re-
turns He will warmly and gener-
ously reward us for our efforts.
Since-by grace our Lord has
saved' us through faith, doesn't it
seem proper for us to do what He
asked us to do? Is He asking too
much when He tells us to speak to
Him in our prayers? Or to learn of
Him through our studies? Or to
serve Him in our daily lives?
Be faithful to the extent of
your abilities. He will surely re-
ward.

Carte Advises You to Protect Your
By Roy Lee Carter
County Extension Director -
With fall already here, and
winter lurking in the wings, we all'
face the glooming prospects of
plummeting temperatures and
soaring fuel costs. And, that's just
for "peners. Garden hobbyists
must also anticipate the increas-
ing hazard of cold damage to their
tender ornamentals.
Each year, there's some dan-
ger of cold damage to landscape '-" ..~. -
Ornamentals in almost every re-
gion of pur state. In this article I'll
talk about some protective meas-
'ures you might employ against
this threat. My Information was
provided by Extension Urban
Horticulture Specialist Dr. Robert -

many ways to protect ornamen-
,tals from cold, ,of course, commer-

they would otherwise. If the cov-
erings reach the ground, they can
help make better use of ground
heat. Surprising as it may seem,
covering a plant also helps pre-
vent cold damage by providing
shade during the day. If a plant
has frozen, it will thaw out more
slowly if it's under shade. This re-
sults in less serious cold injury.
However, In spite of these
benefits,' covering a plant without
additional heat is primarily a
method of providing protection
against frost, rather than hard
freezes. Also, be sure you remove
the coverings when the weather
warms up even if it's only for a day
or two. Otherwise, your plants
suffer burning.
The use of mulch is one cold
protection measure which causes
a lot of confusion. If the tempera-
ture drops below freezing for Just
a few hours, a good layer of nmulch
often will lead to increased cold
damage to the tops of your plants.
This top injury results fr the
mulch keeping ground heat' the
ground away from the leaves and
branches. So, if a brief overnight
freeze is forecast, you might want

to pull the mulch back from your
plants. But, longer periods of very
cold weather are a different mat-
ter. If you expect it to get so cold
that the tops of the plants may be
killed regardless of what you do,
leave the mulch in place. It may
lold enough ground heat to keep
the plant's roots from being fro-
zen. A plant may come back from
considerable cold damage to fo-
liage and branches but, if the
roots are frozen, you may lose the
entire plant.
Now, let's briefly review our
cold protection suggestions. Re-
member that the most widely
used method is plain old heat.
Cover plants with protective cov-
erings and heat with ordinary
light bulbs. Obviously, you can't
cover and heat your whole land-
scape, but this is usually a practi-
cal way to protect your most cold-
vulnerable plants. Remember
that mulch is good for protecting
plants roots during periods of
cold weather. But, for an over-
night cold snap of just a few
hours, it might be better to pull
Sthe mulch back from the plants,
r so that radiated ground heat can
* protect the foliage.

MINUTES...


Gulf County Commission


The Board of County Commissioners of Gulf
County, Florida met this date in regular session
with the following members present: Chairman
Douglas C. Birmingham and Commissioners Billy
Branch, Eldrfdge Money, and Nathan Peters, Jr.
Others present were: Attorney William J. Rish,
Admin. Asat/Civil Defense Director Larry Wells,
Deputy Clerk Towan Collier. Road Superinten-
dent Bob Lester. Mosquito Control Director Sam
Graves, Jr.. and Sheriff Al Harrison.
The meeting came to order at 9:05 a.m.
Commissioner Money opened the meeting
with prayer, and Commissioner Branch led'-the
Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
APPROVE MINUTES
Upon motion by Commissioner Branch,
second by Commissioner Peters, and unanimous
vote, the Board approved the minutes of Septem-
ber 27, 1988, both special and regular minutes.
PUBLIC HEARING AMEND BEACHES WA-
TER SYSTEM ORDINANCE
Attorney Rish read the proposed ordinance
amendment dealing with connection and recon-
nection fees, including the existing ordinance
and the suggested change. Upon call for public
comment, Marion Hough stated that she does
not have a problem with the proposed amend-
ment amounts, but does have a problem with the
new terminology. She also discussed a "second"
tap-on fee being charged to new residents, and
notices being sent to property owners if a renter
does not pay a bill and the debt service to accru-
Ing (to protect the property owner). Admin. Asst.
Wells reported that the second portion of the
amendment deals with both of these questions,
but the notice that the debt service to continuing
to accrue will be sent to the person named to the
account Ms. Hough requested that the Board
consider changing the amendment to reflect that
the notices be given to the owners of the proper-
ty (even though the account may not be in their
names). Upon inquiry, Attorney Rish reported
that a home may not be held "hostage" due to an
unpaid bill by a renter". Ms. Hough stated that
making a new renter pay up old debt charges be-
fore turning on the water is the same as holding
the house hostage. Jean Arnold stated that she
has had a tenant move, leaving a bill due, and was
approached, as the property owner, to pay the
bill Upon her inquiry, Attorney Rish stated that a
person who wants a dry tap on a vacant piece of
property must pay a $400.00 connection fee. Ms.
Arnold inquired as to what would happen if
someone disconnected (who had been paying for
several years) and they later want to reconnect:
Attorney Rish stated that he thinks they would
pay the $400.00 connection fee, less the debt
service fees they have already paid, but he will
have to research the ordinance before giving a
definite answer. Nell Mitchell discussed the be-
ginning, of the water system when the connec-
tion fee and deposit was $75.00, and discussed,
the Board's "threat" to make people pay $400.00
at a later date. She stated that the Board should
not make a new rentor pay a bill left by a previ-
ous renter, and she also stated that a $16.00
minimum bill is ridiculous (Santa Rosa County
only charges $5.00). Commissioner Branch dis-
cussed that this system is not mandatory, and no-
one has to hook up to it. Attorney Rish stated.
that the County does not make new renters pay a
bill left by a previous rentor. Upon inquiry by Ms.
Mitchell, Commissioner Branch stated that it is
not the outstanding water bill that is paid, it is
the monthly debt service charges, due to -the
county having to repay Farmer's Home Adminis-
tration for the loan to construct the system.
Upon further inquiry by Ms. Hough about some-
one having to pay a past due bill before the water
can be reconnected (holding property "hostage"),
Attorney Rish stated that the delinquent water
bill owed by a previous renter does not have to be
paid, only the monthly debt service that has ac-
crued since that time. Ms. Hough stated that the
owner of the property/meter should be notified
when the bill is accruing. Commisqtaner Branch
moved that the Board amend Ordinance 85-2 as
proposed/advertised, and stated that my future
Improvements needing to be made can be
amended at that time. Commissioner Money sec-
onded the motion, and stated that theortginal
property owner should be responsible for paying
the debt service on the piece of property, and
that the County cannot write property owners
every month, telling them to check on their ten-
ants. Commissioner Money also stated that he
hol~s the County can get a high-rise ank at the
Beach, in the future, to help improve the system.
The motion then passed with the following vote.
Chairman Birmingham and Commissioners
Branch and Money voted yes. Commissioner Pe-
ters voted no.

Commissioner Branch moved that the
Board table these bids for study until the next
regular meeting. Commissioner Peters seconded
the motion, and it passed unanimously. Chairman
Birmingham directed Road Superintendent Lest-
er to pick up a copy of the bids to study, and
make a recommendation back to the Board at the
next regular meeting. Commissioner Peters stat-
ed that for this type of equipment, the lowest
price is not always the best Chairman Birming-
ham thanked everyone for bidding.
TELEPHONE NUMBERS COUNTY DE-
PARTMENTS
Marion Janowski discussed the difficulty in
using a telephone directory to get in touch with
the Road Department, and other County agen-
cies, for their assistance. He stated that he need-
ed to contact Road Superintendent Lester about
a week ago, and could not find his number in the
telephone book. Mr. Janowski discussed that he
had to call the Clerk to get the Admin. Asst's
number, and then call the Admin. Asst. to get
him to have Road Superintendent Lester to re-
turn his call He suggested that the Board pre-
pare an insert to mall to citizens or to put it in
the telephone books so there will be an easy ac-
cess to the numbers when someone needs assis-
tance from the County. Chairman Birmingham
stated that the Board has agreed to look into the
telephone system due to problems all over the
County, and they will probably be taking some
kind of action soon. Upon inquiry by Ms. Hough,
Chairman Birmingham stated that the Sheriffs
Department has the weekend numbers of the
Road Superintendent, the Mosquito Control Di-
rector, and the Civil Defense Director in case
they are needed.
The meeting then recessed for a short
break at 9.50 a-m.
The meeting reconvened at 10:05 a.m.

ing court orders for payment, in the case of the

man Money returned the Chair to Commissioner

BYCONGRESS
Attorney Rtsh presented the lndowing reso-
lution (previously approved by the Board)4 asking
Congress to make the necessary rules that they
will salute the flag at the beginning of each meet-
ing/session. for the Chairman's signature.
RESOLUTION 88-21
The resolution states that the Congress of
the United States of America enact the appropri-
ate legislation to require that It commence each
session and meeting with the pledge of alle-
giance to our flag. Copies of this resolution will
be mailed to Congressman Bill Grant, Senator
Bob Graham, and Senator Lawton M. Chiles.
INVOICE STATE VS. CLYDE MELVIN
Attorney Rish stated that a considerable bill
is coming from Mr. Barksdale (Clyde Melvin's at-
torney), in the case of the State vs. Clyde Melvin.
INCINERATOR CONTRACT BAY COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Attorney Rish reported that Bay County has
sent the Board an incinerator contract for the
1988-89 fiscal year, and he reported that the
Board cannot continue under the old contract.
Chairman Birmingham stated that he has been
trying for several days to contact Rick Seltzer
(Bay County Commissioner), but has been unable
to reach him. Attorney Rish stated that he talked
to Mr. Oldland, Bay County Manager, and Mr.
Oldland is to call him back after today's meeting.
Chairman Birmingham stated that the new con-
tract with Bay County is for the equivalent of the
proceeds from the half-cent sales tax in Gulf
County, and he discussed that there will be three
new Board members in November. Chairman
Birmingham also discussed that since the user
fee system is' not in place, and the Board only
budgeted the same amount as last year, the Board
cannot afford to haul to the Bay County Incinera-
tor for a full year. After discussion, he recom-
mended that the Board haul everything to the
Buckhorn Landfill, (until it has to be closed on
December 31, 1988), because if would give the
new Board time to take some action and they
could possibly afford to haul to the Bay County in-
cinerator for 8 or 9 months. Upon inquiry by
Commissioner Branch about getting permission
from the Department of Environmental Regula-
tion to-haul to Buckhorn. Chairman Birmingham
reported that there is no long a statement In the
consent order which says that the Board will car-
ry the South-end garbage to the Bay County in-
cinerator. After discussion, Chairman Birming-
ham directed Admin. Asst Wells to contact the
Department of Environmental Regulation, in-
forming them of the Board's monetary situation,
and requesting permission for the Board to haul
the South-end garbage to Buckhorn. He also di-
rected Admnin. Asst. Wells to contact the highest
person with Bay County, notifying him of the
Board's financial situation and their interest in
renegotiating a contract with them for a partial
year.
AMBULANCE CONTRACT
Attorney Rish reported that they have come
up with a proposed ambulance contract price of
$150,000.00 per year (tope), reduced by grants
received (1/2 to the County, 1/2 to the hospital).
Attorney Rish stated that the amount was higher,
but the City and a private donor gave money to
the hospital for the ambulance service. After dis-
cussion about the coverage for indigent prison-
ers, and upon inquiry by Ms. Hough about the
emergency room being closed, Attorney Rish re-
ported that the request to close the emergency
room was denied by the Department of HRS.
GULF AIRE SUBDIVISION PHASE ll
Attorney Rish reported that the County has
never officially accepted the roads in Phase II of
the Gulf Aire Subdivision, and also reported that
he has been unable to determine who owns the
roads. He stated that the Board could answer Mr.
Riley by reporting that the roads are still owned
by the developers, whoever they are. Chairman
Birmingham directed Admin. Asst Wells to write
Mr. Riley, notifying him that the Board has been
unable to determine who owns the roads in
Phase II.L
AMBULANCE CONTRACT


Commissioner Branch moved that the
Board allow the Attorney and the Chairman to ex-
ecute the proposed ambulance contract with Gulf
Pines Hospital, and Commissioner Money sec-
onded the motion. Upon inquiry by Ms. Hough
about the contract allowing that liens can be
placed on property in the case of unpaid bills, At-
torney Rish reported that the County would have
to dold public hearings and adopt a lien ordi-
nance before this process can be put into action.
Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously.


ELECTION TIED VOTES
Commissioner Money discussed the "tie"
that occurred in the Oct 4. 1988 election (Coun-
ty Commissioner, District 5). and he discussed
that the tie had to be decided by the "drawing of
straws". He stated that these two names could
have been placed on the November election bal-
lot, for a "re-vote", since there were no Republi-
cans or independents running in that race. Com-
missioner Money moved that the Board write the
Senator and Representative, requesting that this
law be changed. Commissioner Branch seconded
the motion. Ms. Hough stated that due to the
high monetary expenses involved in the "higher"
elections, she feels that this letter will be met
with very little effort to change it. After discus-
sion by Ed Creamer that he does not see why 2
Democrats cannot run in the general election if 2
Independents can run, Chairman Birmingham
reported that the law specifically states that 2
Democrats cannot run in the general election.
Chairman Birmingham stated that if the law al-
lowed more discretion by the local canvassing
Board, the candidates could have been placed on
the November ballot since there were no Repub-
lican or Independent candidates running. Upon
vote, the motion passed unanimously.
ST. JOE FIRE .CONTROL DISTRICT
Commissioner Money discussed that he,
Commissioner Branch, and Commissioner Peters
have not met to decide about the distribution of
funds between the 4 fire departments in the St
Joe Fire Control District Attorney Rish reported
that they will have to meet as a "Fire Board" to
handle this matter, and make a recommendation
back to the regular Board. Commissioner Branch
stated that per the amendment made earlier in
this meeting, these funds have already been dis-
tributed, and the Commissioner Peters stated
that he has under the same impression. After fur-
ther discussion, the Board agreed for the "Fire
Board" to meet at a later date to discuss this is-
DRAINAGE ST. JOE BEACH
Upon inquiry by Jean Arnold, Chairman
Birmingham reported that Baskerville-Donovan
Engineers will give their report on the drainage', .
problem at St Joe Beach at the next regular
meeting (October 25th). He stated that he does
not know the exact reason, but the Engineers re-
quested an extension at the end of last week. Ms.
Arnold .discussed that all of, the water draining
from Sea Shores Subdivision is coming to rest orin'
her property. Upon inquiry by Chairman Birm-
ingham, Road Superintendent Lester reported
that the County dois not own the drainage sys-
tem for Sea Shore Upon Ms. Arnold's inquiry
about the County sending someone to inspect the
subdivision before 'it was approved. Chairman
Birmingham reported that the Department of
Environmental Regulation, not the County, ap-
proved the drainage system. After discussion
about the County accepting this subdivision,
Chairman Birmingham stated that it has been
placed on the one-year waiting list Ms. Arnold
stated that she was assured by Mr. Parker (owner
of the subdivision) that the ditching system
would be installed. She also stated that she has
talked to Mr. Parker about her problem, but has-
not received any satisfaction. Commissioner Pe-
ters suggested writing Mr. Parker a letter, re-
questing that he attend the next Board meeting
(with Ms. Arnold present) to discuss this issue.
Chairman Birmingham discussed that for years
some developers have "thrown together" subdivi-
stons, and he feels it is time for the Board to, stop
being lax and start forcing developers to do
everything right from the. beginning. Attorney
Rish stated that the law now includes that the
subdivisions must contain holding basins. Road
Superintendent Lester reported that they would
not approve an area if there was direct'concern
with the drainage. He discussed that Ms. Arnold's '
property is some of the lowers on the beach and
stated that all water will flow to it natural drain-
age. Ms. Hough stated that there are laws that
prohibit one property owner from changing the
contour of his land to.cause the water to run to
someone else's property. After further discussion
about the Board adopting their own restrictions.
Commissioner Branch stated that the Board
could amend the subdivision regulations, and
suggested that the Board hire an engineering
firm (at the expense of the developer) to inspect
each subdivision before it is accepted. Cominis-
sioner Money discussed having Attorney Rish
write Mr. Costin and Mr. Parker about the water
from their subdivision being "emptied" on to the
property of Gulf County residents (before the 1-
year waiting period is over). Building Inspector
Manuel discussed that all developers are required
by the State to have an engineer design the subdi-
visions. Chairman Birmingham stated that the

the one that designed the subdivision, to inspect
it. After further discussion. Chairman Birmingham

partment of Environmental Regulations gives the
permits for drainage), and he referred to a letter
received from the Department of Environmental

Shores Subdivision. Ms. Arnold stated that this
letter to Mr. Parker was not an approval of the
subdivision. only notification that it was exempt.

ported that she is considering dropping the case.

ion the County's part until costs (to the County) are
Discussed. Upon her inquiry. Attorney Rish stated
that the Insurance adjustor is investigating the
water damage claims, and will act on them ac-'
cordingly. Ms. Hough stated for the record that
Ms. Arnold's property was not flooded until the
topography of the land was changed. Chairman

new subdivisions, because developers cannot be
forced to submit subdivision plants.

AdIdson notified their employees that items such
as this are not to be carried to Five Points. Attor-
ney Rish discussed that there are contractors who
have their own keys to the landfill, and they go
out there night or day. He inquired about writing
those who have keys, notifying them that if the
regulations are not followed, the keys will have to
be turned in, and if they want to dump there, they
would have to meet someone there at a certain
time to open the dump for them. The Board re-
quested that Attorney Rish write these letters.
PERSONNEL POLICY
Commissioner Peters discussed a portion of
the personnel policy which deals with the pay
rate for employees who are set up to a higher po-
sition (they get the higher rate of pay for that
time). He stated that although this was developed
due to a problem in the Road Department, It ap-
plies to all County employees. Commissioner Pe-
ters reported that he things (but needs to do'fur-

ees in the Mosquito Control Department that
