City Hikes Its Water Rates by 250 Per 1000 Gallons

Change Affects All Public Water Customers from Oak Grove Through St. Joe Beach Systems


Charges for treated water for
most customers on public sys-
tems will probably be increased
with the November billing for ser-
vice.
Port St. Joe, Oak Grove,
Highland View, and customers of
the Beach Water system will ap-
parently face an increase in their
water rates along with the resi-
dents of Port St. Joe, after ac-
tions taken by the Port St. Joe
Commission Tuesday night.
The Board voted unanimous-
ly to hike their charges for treat-
ed water Tuesday, effective with
the November 1 billing.
The hike in water charges
was first introduced August 15,
when the ordinance change was



It Was

A Safe

Holiday

Gulf County had anoth-
er safe holiday week end
last week, as it celebrated
Labor Day, rather than suf-
fer through a mishap or
two.
Sheriff Al Harrison and
Port St. Joe Police Chief
Carl Richter, both said
there were no problems re-
ported during the entire
week end.
The State of Florida had
predicted that 32 would die
on the highways, but Police
Chief Richter said, "We only
had one fender bender Fri-
day afternoon."
Sheriff Harrison said,
"It was e4remely quiet.
There were a lot of people
throughout the county, bus-
ily observing their last sum-
mer holiday, but in spite of
the crowds, there were no
problems at all."
Safe holidays have be-
come the normal situation
for Gulf County.


read for the first time.
Port St. Joe also sells treated
water to the Oak Grove Water
District, the Highland View Water
District and the Beaches Water
District. All of these districts are
administered by Gulf County,
who has not announced an in-
crease in rates as yet. Since all
districts are operated on a non-
profit basis, the hike in water
charges is expected to be passed
along to the customers in the
several districts.
The new water rates, inside
the City will be $1.50 per thou-
sand gallons, when the new rate
goes into effect. _
The Commission said the rate
increase was made necessary due
to the continued hike in chemi-
cals charges, testing, pumping
and distribution charges.
The City operates its-water
and sewer systems on a self-
sustaining basis, with the cus-
tomer bearing the cost. The sys-
tem is not financed by ad valo-
rem taxes.
INSTALLATION CHARGES
In addition to water use
charges being increased, there


was a hike in connection and
other installation activities,
which will not affect customers
outside the City of Port St. Joe.
Deposits for new customers
* will be increased to $50.00, or
the amount of an estimated
monthly bill for large water users.
Water taps [connection fees]
will be $200 for up to one inch in
meter size. Taps of more than one
inch in size will be $200, plus the
cost of the larger water meter.
Sewer taps will be charged at
the actual cost of labor and mate-
rials, with a minimum of
$400.00.
Use of the public water and
sewer services inside the City of
Port St. Joe is required of all resi-
dents.
ASKS FOR VARIANCE
Albert Cain requested a vari-
ance be given the St. Joseph Tel-
ephone and Telegraph Company
on their property at the intersec-
tion of Fifth Street and Long Ave-
nue.
Cain said it was time for
them to inspect the underground
fuel tank which stores fuel for

Wewa Elects Two City

Commissioners Tuesday

Both Will Serve Full Three-Year Tenure


Veteran City Commissioner
and former Mayor Thomas McDa-
niel won re-election to a three
year term on the Wewahitchka
City Commission Tuesday in light
balloting.
McDaniel defeated challenger
Tommy Morgan, who was seeking
his first public office.
The McDaniel-Morgan race
was the only question on the We-
wahitchka ballot and attracted
only 344 of the City's 1,443 regis-
tered voters.
McDaniel, 70, is a retired in-
surance salesman and Morgan,
43, is a former salesman of gen-


eral hardware.
Another Commission group
up for election had Charles D.
Holley, 34, named to the post
without opposition. Holley, an
employee of Berg Steel Pipe in
Panama City, is a former employ-
ee of the city and had held that
this former association had famil-
iarized him in a unique way with
the city's needs.
Gene Hanlon, the incumbent
in Group 3, had chosen not to
seek re-election.
The two will assume their
newly elected posts with the first
meeting in October.


equipment and they are asking
for a variance to replace the un-
derground tanks with an above
ground storage system.
Cain said the tank will be lo-
cated immediately behind their
switching office on Fifth and Long
and will be situated 150 feet from
Sixth Street and 50 feet from
Long Avenue. The tank will be
connected by underground line to
the company's building.
The tank will be used to store
3,000 gallons of number two die-
sel fuel. The emergency generator


furnishes power to the switching
equipment in case of public pow-
er failure.
The Commission agreed to
advertise the variance and give
the telephone company its an-
swer at their next meeting date
on September 19.
APPROVE BY-LAWS
The Commission approved a
set of by-laws presented by the
newly organized Downtown Im-
provement Commission.
The Commission is made up
of seven members appointed by


the City Commission last month.
The group is working with a team
from the University of Florida
School of Architecture in setting
up a plan of development and im-
provement for the downtown area
of Port St. Joe.
Their project is scheduled to
be completed by early next
Spring.

Vehicles Bump At Intersection


Two vehicles collided at the
intersection of Fifth Street and
Woodward Avenue Friday morn-
ing, resulting in damages to the
vehicles, but no injuries to the
drivers or passengers.
A pick-up truck, driven by
Michael Walding, 24 and a se-
dan, driven by Tammy McGee,
20, crashed at approximately


11:30 a.m., when McGee at-
tempted a left turn from the right
lane, crossing over into the path
of Walding's pick-up truck. Both
vehicles were travelling in an
easterly direction on Fifth Street.
McGee's vehicle had to be
towed from the scene of the acci-
dent by a wrecker. Walding's


pick-up truck left under its own
power, even though it was dam-
aged in the front and undercarri-
age.
Investigating officers, Port St.
Joe Police Department patrolmen
Chris Brumbaugh and Tim High-
tower, said the accident is still
under investigation.

Who Cares?

Voyager II has taken off into the hinterlands of nothingness
in outer space, and, according to the predictions of scientists,
will travel on for centuries, scanning the heavens, but not nec-
essarily sending signals back to earth.
Already, the distances Voyager II have travelled are unbe-
lievable and not comprehendable by people who consider a tho-
sand mile trip something to be planned and mapped out for
days before attempting.
The mathematical equations necessary to work out the itin-
erary of Voyager II can't be grasped by most people. The com-
plications of just getting a space ship into orbit is not what one
would classify as light after dinner conversation.
Not only did Voyager II and its mission take a lot of plan-
ning, it took almost as much money as it did planning. That lit-
tle close-up look of the planets by scientists was, without a
doubt, the most expensive peek in man's history, except maybe
for the one Eve took when she looked at the difference between
good and evil.
The fact that Voyager II cost so much money for the nebu-
lous good this fleeting glance at other planets might give, has
caused some good thinking people to wonder if maybe that
money might have been wasted.
"After all," writes Andy Rooney, "Who cares if there are vol-
canoes out there spitting ice 30 miles into the air?"
Evidently, some of our scientists do, because they are all ex-
cited about the discovery. To the excessively curious, such dis-
coveries are a high they experience which is indescribable. To
those of us who are sort of the "So what?" mentality, we wonder,
if the benefits will ever be worth the expenditure even if it
did keep a lot of Americans working for the two or three years
of preparation and the 10 years of the voyage.
While we're not as excited as Carl Sagan is aboutthe the travels
of Voyager II, we're still experiencing some elation over the ac-
complishments of our nation in space exploration. When the
novelty of the accomplishments of Voyager II wears off, we'll
probably join a host of other Americans wondering if the ac-
complishments will ever balance off the expense involved.



WWIII Postponed
With the observance last week of the golden anniversary of
the beginning of World War II, we're sure you and everyone
else has noticed we have not had a major war for the past 50
years, where, previous to World War II, they seemed to come
along about every generation.
To those who lost their lives, their health or their sanity -
and to the loved ones of those who did-any "police action",
drug bust, hostage incident or whatever, seems like a major
war. A person is just as dead from conflict, even if he gets killed
while funning around.
The point is, in World War II, the "big bomb" was dropped
for the first time. killing thousands of people in just instants.
The United States, as a nation, has been exploring its con-
science ever since trying to determine if dropping "the bomb"
was the proper thing to do at the time, with Germany surren-
dered and Japan squeezed down to its homeland, after being
spread all over the South Pacific.
We understand the pilot of the Inola Gay, which dropped
that first atomic bomb, has been plagued by mental problems
ever since. He was devastated by the destruction his actions
caused, even though he sort of knew what to expect.
Of course, we can offer this opinion from the viewpoint of
not having been actively involved in the transport or dropping
of the bomb, nor of having to endure its destructive power, but
we must surmise the bomb has saved countless millions of
lives if it is mostly responsible for 50 years having elapsed
since our last major war.
World War II was billed at the time as the war to end all
wars, and dropping that atomic bomb seems to have come clos-
er to that utopia than all the talking mankind has ever done.
There was Korea and there was Vietnam. There was the
mid-East and there was Angola. There were a number of small
explosive conflicts all around the globe during this 50 years,
but there has not been a situation which has seen the whole
world involved in a life and death conflict.
Some of the situations which faced the world in the past 50
years could easily have developed into World War III, were it
not for the deterrent which exists in the hands of most nations.

Well, the Labor Day sales are

means only one thing. And I want
you to remind your friends that
for 1989 you heard it first right
here. There's only 109 shopping
days left until Christmas. That, of
course, includes Halloween and
Thanksgiving. If you're a real
shopper, those holidays won't
slow you down. As soon as the

you start planning a trip to town.

Thanksgiving. Big day big meal,
big stomachs, all the fTamily to-
gether. It was a nice holiday. We
gave thanks. We felt thankful. My
boys, I'm afraid, see it only as the
last big meal before they get to
open their presents.
And hey listen, all of that mail
order stuff ain't bad either. The
best Christmas gift I ever gave
Cathy came that way. I bought
her a Ronco veg-i-matic. That
thing would slice it, cut it, mix it,
blend it. stir it, shake it All
for the amazingly low price of
$19.95. It took the place of five
common kitchen appliances. We
saved hundreds of dollars. And
we'd still have that thing today if
Josh hadn't a'tried to dice some
walnuts in it.
And, again, don't misunder-
stand. I like Christmas most
years. It's Just the three month
hullabaloo and the money that I
don't like. Shucks, Christmas be-
fore last my wife spent almost a
hundred dollars! Well, you can
just imagine I put my foot down
after that. Bless her heart, she
just gets caught up in all of the
activities. She plans her gifts. She
selects the right gift for each per-
son on her list months before
Christmas. She spends time
thinking about what each person
would want. She works at it and
loves it. I couldn't live like that.
But I must admit over the
years she has given me some
unique and personal and very
special presents -'-of course, she
hasn't topped a Ronco veg-i-
matic.
Cliff Sanborn is the best
Christmas shopper that I know.
He waits till December 23rd like

he doesn't fool with any cumber-

just goes to Sears, sees what spe-
cial they've got standing in the
window, strolls in, pays cash for
it and is on his way back to the
house in minutes with Miss Mar-
tha's gift. Boys, you talk about a
role model.
Now, as usual, if there's a
point to today's story you are go-
ing to have to hunt for it. I just
didn't want you to get hit by the
Old Spice gift package offer and
not be ready for it. And also, I
need some help. They don't ad-
vertise the Ronco veg-i-matic any-
more and if you've got an old one
around that you are not using I'd
like to make you an offer on it.
I've only got 109 days to find one
of those things.

ETAOIN SHRDLU BY: WESLEY R. RAMSEY I


A Praying Mantis Grasshopper That Dines On Bugs?


IF YOU, LIKE ME, are fans
of the Atlanta Braves baseball
team on Ted Turner's television
station, you, like me, have suf-
fered a disgusting summer at
times.
I'm sure you also have won-
dered how such high paid base-
ball players can be so bad at
times, losing to teams they
should beat and then turn right
around the next night and put a
whipping on the league leader
with seemingly little effort.
I have seen the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates whip the Braves so regular-
ly, I have started to believe the Pi-
rates own the Braves and are
keeping them around so they will
have someone to beat.
With a young crop of fair to
good pitchers, Dale Murphy and
Lonnie Smith, they should be


able to whip just about anybody
they wanted to. Could It be they
don't want to?
I have watched them relig-
iously this summer, but thank
goodness, their baseball season
will soon be over.
I GUESS I'M addicted to the
Braves. Even when they start to
lose, I stick with them to the bit-
ter end. The last out must be
made-unless they are playing at
night on the west coast-before I
will go to bed.
On the days they aren't on, I
fidget around with the TV dial
hunting something worth watch-
ing and believe me, that is a
search which isn't easily fulfilled
these days. The summer pro-
gramming season seems to be a
time of forfeit for good TV pro-
grams.
Sunday night, after church,
has to be the worst night of all to


find something Interesting to
watch on TV. If National Geo-
graphic Explorer doesn't happen
to have something exciting on it,
you had just as well turn the box
off.
Our local cable TV service
didn't do us any favor by cutting
Tallahassee off the air, either.
BUT, BACK TO THE Braves,
which I intended to devote this
full column to this week.
The Braves continue to be an
enigma. On top of that, they con-
tinue to find some way to lose
games they have won, in the last
inning or two.
They are world champions at
that.
And, much as I love baseball
and as much as I would like to
see the Atlanta Braves bring re-
spectable baseball to the south, I
can't figure out why they are so
inept.


Is It team'? Is it players? Is it
managers? Is it Ted? Who's due
the blame?
At times, it seems to bbr the
ones who fill up the front office.
At times, it appears as If-they
don't have enough to do, so they
decide to work up a trade ith
another team. And who do they
trade? Usally it's someone who
could help the Braves or *ho
does help some other team.'
TWICE LAST WEEK, the
Braves had the Pirates hang
on the wall in a three game tiess
and managed, before the final out
was made, to bow before the Pi-
rates, hand them the game On a
platter and even thank them for
taking it.
Mind you, this came A~er
brilliantly nearly sweeping' the
Chicago Cubs in a three game se-
ries. The Braves played good, en-
tertaining baseball against the


Cubs and then played like a Little
League team against the Pirates.
I guess we should all be
thankful the season is winding
down. I'm sure there are many
more like me out there, who hang
on every pitched ball of the
Braves' games. They are just as
flustered as Rus Nixon everytime
the team adds another notch to
the loss column.
I WOULD DEARLY love to
see the Braves play in a World
Series, but I don't think I will live
to be more than 100 years old, so
I don't suppose I will be around
long enough to see such a won-
der of the world.
I predict we will see a cut in
taxes before we see the Braves in
the World Series. So, you see just
how seriously my faith in their
abilities has been shaken.
I thought I had figured out
why they manage to lose at such


Inopportune moments the other
night. There was a game in Pitts-
burgh when the bugs were worse
than middle Georgia during
peach season, when the gnats
take over everything and get into
everything which isn't sealed air
tight.
The TV cameras were zeroing
in on the bugs to show the audi-
ence how bad they were and
picked up a praying mantis stalk-
ing across the field, when Billy
Sample happened to remark,
"Look at that grasshoppers I'll bet
he'll get fat tonight when he eats
his fill of all those bugs down
there!"
Now, when a Cracker from
middle Georgia doesn't know the
difference between a praying
mantis and a grasshopper in the
first place and then thinks a
grasshopper eats bugs in the sec-
ond place we've got big trou-
ble!

Odie The Rest of the Story

Many of you read the poignant story several weeks ago about
Odie, the boy-dog, orphaned by a ruthless family by their moving
off possibly in the middle of the night and leaving him to fend for
himself.
That event marked a milestone in the life of Odie. It was a time
when he was alone and lonely, hungry and thirsty, living on repos-
sessed property, with nothing save the hair on his back and a pack
of fleas.
It was a turning point in his life, to say the least!
Odie, during what he thought was the last days of his life, was
befriended by a kind-hearted pest control technician who was sent
to the property on which he was living, to spray the fleas. The
thirst, hunger and loneliness not to mention the blood-sucking
fleas were just about to send Odie to the big dog pen across the
pond.
The pest control man took Odie home, fed, watered and doc-
tored him, but within months made plans to move, thereby casting
Odie into another state of insecurity. This time, however things
would be different.
You know what happened to Odie up until August 31, 1989.
This is the rest of the story.
On Wednesday evening, at approximately 6:30, the pest control
a man who rescued Odie from his former flea-infested home, received
a call from the Port St. Joe Police Department The dispatcher re-
ported that a lady had been frantically trying to reach him by phone
to talk to him about Odie and his rather tenuous position on planet
Earth. The lady had called long distance from Carrabelle, Florida.
The pest control man immediately sensed the urgency of the
matter and returned the call and found himself talking to a Mrs.
Nadie Cook, who resides in Carrabelle. She said that she had re-
cently lost her dog and was looking for another one. She said she
had just read the article about Odie's trials and tribulations and he
sounded like jtst the dog she was looking for.
After a brif conversation she asked, "Can I come pick him up
in the morning?"
The next morning, at the precise time given, Mrs. Cook arrived
with her daughter to take Odie to his new home. As a courtesy, I
accompanied Mrs. Cook and her daughter to pick up Odie.
It was love at first sight! "Oh, what a beautiful dog!" Mrs. Cook
exclaimed- when Odie ran out of the doghouse to greet us. "Odie,
I've come to take you to your new home. You and I are going to be
best friends for a long, long time."
.As Mrs. Cook reached down to pet Odie, he did what he always
does; he lay down and rolled over on his back and started licking
her hand. I told you before that Odie is a friendly dog.
When I put Odle in the back of the van, he immediately went to
a blanket Mrs. Cook had brought for him and lay down. "Just look
at him!" Mrs. Cook exclaimed, "he knows he's going home."
There's no doubt in my mind that Odie is at home. I called Mrs.
Cook yesterday to see how she and Odie were doing. 'We're doing
just fine," Mrs. Cook said, "and you should see Odie. He's just as
happy as he can be. Why, he won't even sleep in his dog house. He
wants to sleep on the porch with the cats."
What this world needs is more people like Mrs. Cook. My hat's
off to you, Mrs. Cook, and I wish you and Odie a long and happy
life.

Hopefully, an injured loggerhead sea
turtle, which has been hanging out
around the Mexico Beach pier for the
past two weeks, has been captured,
brought to shore and transported to
Gulf World at Panama City Beach for
treatment.
Mrs. Pallas Gandy, local member of
the St. Joseph's Chelonidae Commis-
sion and Clarke Joyner, both of Port St.
Joe have spent their entire holiday week
end, trying to capture the injured turtle
and get him to a treatment center.
Mrs. Gandy said she was notified
last week by the Department of Natural
Resources Marine Resources office in
St. Petersburg of reports the turtle had
been seen at the pier, feeding off fish
bait hooked to fishermen's lines at the
pier. The turtle had been hooked sever-
al times, but was too strong to be land-


The turtle had a flipper missing and
apparently damage to his shell immedi-
ately behind his head, impeding his
ability to swim and maneuver in the wa-
ter.
"He still swims and gets around
pretty good," Mrs. Gandy said. 'We tried
to swim into the water late Friday night,
but found that a three-flippered turtle
can swim rings around two-legged hu-
mans in the water."
The attempt to capture the turtle in
this manner met with defeat. The next
night, the turtle rescuers showed up
with nets, determined to capture the in-
jured turtle, but the turtle didn't show
up.
Again, frustration.

By Roy Lee Carter
County Extension Director
The common garden chrysan-
themums, popularly called
"mums" belong to a large group of
annual and perennial herbs in
the plant family called composite.
The cold-hardy, cultivated varie-
ties are used extensively as gar-
den and patio flowers for fall col-
or.
The wide color range and
types and size of flowers tend to
increase the popularity of this
fine garden subject especially not-
ed for its excellent show of color
in September and October.
Flowers of mums can be con-
trolled by manipulating day
length, but most home gardeners
allow their plants to flower in the
normal fall season. Controlled
flower production at other sea-
sons is best left to commercial
cut flower producers.
Chrysanthemums will grow in
any well-drained soil that con-
tains an abundance of organic
-matter. If the soil is very sandy, a
three to four inch layer of peat or
other organic material should be
worked into the flower bed to a
six inch depth.
Mums are grown from
cuttings or division of old parent
clumps. Rooted cuttings are usu-
ally available from local garden
stores. Space the plants a foot
apart for a mass effect or two feet
apart to emphasize individual
plants.
After the plants are estab-
lished and at least six inches tall,
break off the top one or two inch-
es of the stem. This will encour-
age lateral branching and pro-
duce lower, bushier plants.
Two to three applications of
an 8-8-8 fertilizer at the rate of
one pound per one-hundred
square feet during the growing
season is sufficient to grow a
good crop of flowers. When apply-
ing fertilizers, keep the material
off the leaves. Water thoroughly
to distribute the fertilizer
throughout the root area.
Chrysanthemums may need
to be supported unless the plants
are the low, strong growing types.
Tall, weak stemmed plants defi-
nitely need some form of staking.


What did you study? How are you
going to do what you need to at
home?" If they say, "Nothing.",
don't you believe them! Plenty-
goes on every day and an inquir-
ing and caring parent can make
the difference. Look at their
books, homework and ask ques-
tions. If they know you are inter-
ested and expect more, they'll do
better in school.
Star Student of the Week -
Rocky Traylor
A second grader that is cer-
tainly a star Is Rocky Traylor, son
of Tommy and Cindy Traylor.
Rocky's grandparents are Katie
and Ray Stripling, and A.B. Tray-
lor. Rocky's favorite subject in
school is math and his favorite
sport is baseball. When he grows
up he would like to be a lawyer.
Rocky said he'd like to meet
Country singer George Strait,
"cause my mama likes to hear
him sing on the radio." If he could
travel somewhere, Rocky said
he'd like to visit Atlanta because
it is such a big city and has lots
of stores. Rocky loves to read and
he recollects that Peppermint
Fence was the last book that he
read. Rocky has a lot of heroes
that he admires and one that was
very special to him was his late
uncle Michael Traylor. Rock says,
"I like myself. I like school. I like
to play with my best friend."
Rocky is in the second grade
classroom of Mrs. Judi Lister.
September Trivia
The name September stems
from the Latin "septem" meaning
"seven". Before the inclusion of
January and' Fbi-uary, Septem-
ber was the seventh month in an- -
cient Rome.
Labor Day is a holiday in
which both the United States and
Canada celebrate. It is the first
Monday in September.

Dedication Service
to be Held Sunday
Rev. Jean Shoots, pastor of
the Highland View Assembly of
God Church, invites everyone to
attend the dedication service for
the new fellowship hall Sunday,
September 10, at 11:00 a.m. Rev.
Robert J. Gatlin, Superintendent
of the West Florida District of the
Assemblies of God, will be the
guest speaker. The noon meal will
be served in the new fellowship
hall.

Brownies Meet
There will be a parents meet-
ing at St. Joseph's Catholic hall
(on 20th Street) Thursday; Sep-
tember 7 at 7:00 p.m. All girls
who are interested in being in
Brownies must have a parent
present at this meeting. Registra-
tion is to be paid and consent
forms are to be signed, so a par-
ent is needed.


If a wooden stake is used, drive it
into the ground at planting time.
Staking after the plants are es-
tablished can cause injuries to
the roots.
By careful choice of varieties,
flowers of many types and colors
can be provided from September
until Christmas, although an ear-
ly frost will injure some young
buds and thus reduce flowering.

Dance Classes
Registration for Tap, Jazz and
Baton will be held Friday, Sep-
tember 8, at 3 p.m. at St. Joe
Gymnastics.
For more information, call
229-8907 or 653-8078.

County


Government


Spending


$700,000 More Than Last Year


Gulf County government will
spend some $3 million during
the current fiscal year, which
ends on September 30, according
to administrative assistant Larry
Wells. Wells, in speaking to the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday, said gov-
ernment expense is continuing to
rise for various reasons. He cited
the fact the budget which would
go into effect on October 1, would
contain some $700,000 more ex-
penditures than the current
spending plan, even though the
millage rate has been cut slightly.
In explaining the financial
picture for Gulf County, Wells
said there are three sources of
revenue coming into the county
each year. These include ad valo-
rem taxes, fines, forfeitures and
charges and state funds.
There are three main portions
of the spending plan, and three
lesser funding points, which
make up the six divisions of the
county's financial responsibility.
Chief among the spenders, is
the Fine and Forfeiture Fund,
which includes the Sheriff's De-
partment, County Judge, Circuit
Judge, and other related activi-
ties. This department takes 25%
of the funds which come in each
year.
The second most expensive
operation is the garbage depart-
ment which takes 23.2% of the
income. Wells said this service
alone would have topped the $1
million mark in the new fiscal
year had the County Commission
not decided to discontinue the 14
collection sites now served by the
solid waste department.
Wells said this move will not
cause any of the five employees


now involved in handling the
trailer sites to be released by the
county. Two will be put on the
road as monitors of indiscrimi-
nate waste disposal, one will be
an animal control officer and the
other two will operate the new
compactor being installed at We-
tappo near Wewahitchka.
Wells said the curtalment of
the trailer collection operation is
designed to save $200 000 per
year for the department
Both the Property Appraiser


and the Tax Collector use just
over 5% of the budget and the
Clerk's office needs 10% to pay
for its operation.
The big slice of the money
ple-32.1%0o--is used by the Com-
mission to fund operations it is
directly responsible for; These in-
clude the Board operation, Road'
Department, Mosquito Control,
Administrative Assistant, Civil
Defense, Commodity program,
Veterans Service, Maintenance
and Utilities. Parks, Health DeP- i'


apartment, Fire Departments, Am-
bulance, Agency contributions
and Indigents.
Wells said that, currently, the
new proposed budget will reflect
a $700,000 increase over the
present funding. This amounts to
a 19% increase in spending, even
though the village rate will be re-
duced by .135 mills.
C Guests of the club were Key
Clubbers Paula Pendarvis, Mary
Wood, John Parker, and Brian
Lemieux.

ther discussion about the monetary needs of oper-
ating the Parks Commission. Commissioner Gort-

ed the amended motion. Commissioner Peters sub-
stitutely moved to cut the Chamber of Commerce

lowing vote: Commissioners Creanter, Parker, and

ham directed the Parks Commission to put this

that is required for a grant the Parks Commission
is trying to obtain. He reported that the State has
a list of "approved" appraisers, and one of those on
the list, must appraise the property. Upon his dis-
cussion about getting the appraisal done this year
and paying for it next year, Clerk LUster reported
that It is illegal to charge an expenditure to any
year other than the one it is incurred in. Mr.
Reeves then reported that the lowest price he got
on the appraisal was $3,000, but they need it done
before September 1st to proceed with the grant ap-
plication. After further discussion about the ap-
praisal. Commissioner Peters moved to reduce the
Chamber of Commerce budget by $3,000. and give

Commission for the appraisal. Commissioner Park-
er seconded the motion for discussion. After dis-
cusslon that these funds are for next year and the
appraisal is needed this year. Commissioner Park-
er withdrew his motion. Commissioner Gortman
moved for the Parks Commission to pay for the ap-
praisal out of the money that the Board has tenta-
tively approved for them for next year, and if the
Board has any extra money anywhere, they will
put the $3,000 back. The motion died for lack of a

IBy Their Caps Ye Shall Know Them



Rotarians Learn About Purpose of



Shark 100 Club In School Athletics


The Shark 100 Club came on
the scene last year for the first
time and is designed to furnish
fan support to all sporting activi-
ties at Port St. Joe High School.
Booster Club spokesmen Teedy
Nobles and Willie Ramsey de-
scribed some of these activities
and solicited membership and
support before the Rotary Club
last Thursday.
Nobles said he felt it was the
responsibility of the fans to sup-
port the sporting activities of the
school with their presence and
their finances.
"We levy taxes to finance
schools to teach our young peo-
ple. Athletics is just ice cream for
us fans and parents," Nobles
said, in justifying the purpose of
the Booster Club in promoting.
and supporting the sports pro-
gram. ,
The Shark 100 Club, formed
last year has as its purpose, put-
ting the chocolate syrup, nuts
and fruit toppings on that ice
cream, so to speak.
Nobles said the new club
grew out of a discussion by
Booster Club members who
wished to do more than just sup-
port the athletic events with their
presence and their words of ap-
preciation and support.
"So, we came up with this
idea where members are asked to
buy memberships of $100 which
is to be used to purchase items
the regular school budget does
not cover and which the athletic
program cannot afford with its
own income," Nobles said. "For
instance, we had 67 members
last year and we purchased a 500
pound per day ice machine to be
used by the entire athletic de-
partment. The ice supply was
needed by every sport and there
was a constant battle to secure
an adequate supply, until we
bought the machine."
Nobles said a new year of ac-
tivities has just started for the
Shark 100 Club, with recruiting
new members, collecting dues
and beginning another school
year of supporting the athletic
program of the school.
'We hope to have at least 100
members this year and we al-
ready.have an ambitious program
lined out for the future," Nobles
said. He pointed out the organi-
,zatlon has Just purchased a pro-
fesslonal- type video recording
system for the department, to be
used in all sports. "We ventured
out on faith and obligated our-
selves for half the purchase price
because we had faith in the com-
munity,"
Future, long-range plans call
for building a tennis and racquet-

Sharks Open Season with A Veteran Squad

Second row, left to right: Wayne Stevens, Chris Roberson, Deon Joseph, Eric Langston, Roy Quinn.


After a strong showing in the
Bay County football Jamboree
last Friday night, there is no de-
nying the Sharks begin the 1989
season with a strong squad. Just
the simple fact that most of the
team has been playing together
as a team for three years tells
most anybody the Sharks should
be at least a credible team during
the year and should provide some.
interesting football for local fans
to witness.
But, as head coach Phil Lan-
ford says, that isn't accounting
for injuries, the mood of his
charges on any given night, nor
the mood of any one of their op-
ponents on any given night.
Lanford admits that on
paper, the Sharks look good, but


is quick to point out, "This team
doesn't 'have it made' You can
never tell what any high school
football team is going to do when
they go out on that field, so none
of our games are automatic wins
nor are any of them automatic
losses."
There is no denying, the
Sharks go into the 1989 season
loaded with talent and experi-
ence. With only one sophomore


starting on this year's squad, it is
a turn around from last year
when half the starters were soph-
omores.
Lanford has 18 experienced
players returning to the Shark
squad this season, including sev-
en seniors and perhaps the
biggest lineman in the Big Bend
in tackle Perez Davis, a 6'5"
sophomore who tips the scale at
a hefty 300 pounds. And Davis


moves around pretty agile for a
300 pound 15-year-old.
Anchoring the 34 man roster
this season will be returning vete-
rans: junior quarterback Bill
Ramsey, 151; junior linebacker
Matt Taylor, 162; junior defensive
.back Desmond Quinn, 152; soph
linebacker Calvin Pryor, 230;
senior tailback Nicholas Rolack,
183; senior fullback Russell
Cherry, 219; senior linebacker,


The Sharks and the Gators mee. in the season

Last year's Shark squad
which came within a touchdown
of winning the district champion-
ship also had all state linebacker
Ivey Henderson, all-state line-
backer Leonard Ray and excellent
running back David Barnes who
were lost to graduation, but Lan-
ford is expecting experience and


depth to fill these sizeable gaps.
The Sharks' main deficit this
year is that they will be on the
road for six of their 10 games.
Three of them are over 100 miles
away and two are 80 miles dis-
tant. "If we can stand the hard
miles, we ought to do pretty
good," Lanford said.
The Sharks will be focusing
on Jefferson County this year,
the team which beat them out of
the district championship last
year. Jefferson is reportedly load-
ed this year, too.
The Sharks meet the Wewa-
hitchka Gators in the season
opener Friday night in Shark Sta-
dium.

Gators Ranked Seventh In Poll


Despite words of caution
from a new coach who will be
heading them this year, someone
thinks the Wqwahitchka Gators.
a powerhouse- for the past few
years in northwest Florida, won't
lose too much of the impetus
they ended the season with last
year. The Gators are already
ranked seventh in state 1-A
standings even before the first
fooKball is kicked this year.
The ,Gators will be depending
on three things for another highly
successful season this year, as
they open up here in Port St. Joe
against their county rivals, the
Sharks.
The Gators will be depending
on the seasoned nucleus of 11 re-
turning veterans, the continued
explosive running of all-state Mi-
chael Myers and a smooth transi-
tion from the leadership of coach
* Dennis Kizziah to Charles Fort-
ner.
Kizziah moved to Blount-
I. S *
K-


stown to take over the head
coach duties there after the end
of the school year last spring.
Fortner is no stranger to the Ga-
tor way of doing things, however,
since he has served as an assist-
ant coach in Wewahitchka for the
past 12 years.
The 11 starters give Fortner a
solid base to anchor his 27-man
squad; one of the largest teams to
be fielded by the Gators. The Ga-
tors lost the formidable foursome
of Andy Whitfield, Scott McLe-
more, Wayne Forehand and Phil-
lip Griffin from last year's 7-3
squad.
Gator veterans returning for
the 1989 season include: senior
end Ross Yowell, 205; senior
tackle Phillip Nunery, 290; senior
guard Ray Stripling, 150; senior
guard-linebacker Daryl Lister,
180; senior back, Wilbert Wright,
193; junior fullback Mike Sewell,
170; junior flanker, Mike Myers,
170; Junior tackle Chris Morgan,


220; junior center Dwayne Lay-
ton, 190; sophomore wide receiv-
er, Solomon Fisher, 135 and sen-
ior end-linebacker Travis Melson,
160.
Fortner said many are look-
ing to his team for great things,
"and I don't know why. Don't
they know how many kids we've
lost; even since the spring? We've
got a long way to go."
Greensboro and Sneads are
expected to be the teams to beat
and both handed the Gators their
worst defeat of the 1988 season.
The Gators had only one other
defeat last year, and that was to
the hands of the Port St. Joe
Sharks, who ended up with their
own 7-3 season.

Sharks Take Wind from Tornadoes


PROTECT CHILDREN FROM
CHOKING ACCIDENTS

Be especially cautious to keep objects small enough to be
swallowed away from infants and children. For they do not
expectorate, but attempt to swallow and inhale them into
the lungs. Teach them to spit anything out.
Do not stimulate a child to laugh or cry while food is in his
mouth. Physicians advise it is not wise to reach into an
infant's mouth to remove an impacted foreign object. Place
the victim face down across a bed or chair and call a
physician. For choking is the leading cause of accidental
death in the home to children under five.
"A GREAT MANY PEOPLE ENTRUST US with their
prescriptions, health needs and other pharmacy products.
We consider this trust a privilege and a duty. May we be
your personal family pharmacy?"

scooped up the loose ball and ran the extra point and the Sharks
through the Bay line and back- had their 17-0 win over the Tor-
field, all the way to the goal line, nadoes.


The Sharks had 63 yards in
18 rushing plays and 86 yards
through the air, completing five
of seven pass attempts.


Thum
If you count their two wins in
the spring Jamboree over Ruther-
ford and Mosley, the Sharks now
own the football championship of
Bay County.
The Sharks took to the field
in Tommy Oliver Stadium Friday
in the fall Jamboree, playing the
first full half of the game against
the Bay High Tornadoes, turning
the Tornadoes into a small breeze
with a 17-0 thumping.
It took only 15 actual min-
utes to play the first 12 minute
quarter with the Sharks putting
seven big points on the board
against the Tornadoes.
The Sharks took the opening
kick-off and marched down the

USAM Puts Trammell



In Their Hall of Fame


At a recent special meeting,
the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame
honored Florida State Represen-
tative Robert D. Trammell with.
Associate Membership certifica-
tion. Trammell, an attorney in
Marianna and State Representa-
tive for District 8, served as Asso-
ciate Athletic Director and Assist-
ant Basketball Coach at the
University of South Alabama in
Mobile for nine years, starting in
1971.
In presenting the certification,
Mobile Councilman Reginald
Copeland, a former SEC and Sun-
belt Conference basketball official
recalled "Trammell's class de-
meanor and sportsmanship dur-
ing his years at South Alabama.
We are very glad that he will offi-
cially continue his association
with Mobile," Copeland said. Joe
Gottfried, present Athletic Direc-
tor at South Alabama, said, "Rob-
ert Trammell most definitely had
a very positive influence on the
University's present sound posi-
tion in athletics. His contribu-
tions while here as an adminis-
trator and coach helped provide a
strong foundation for the overall
success of the program."
Trammell, who is also Chair-
man of the Florida House Judici-
ary Committee, said, "I am proud
to reside and work in my home
state, and represent District 8 in
the Legislature. However, my fam-
ily and I very much enjoyed living
in Mobile, and I am very pleased
to have this continued associa-
tion."

Pentecostals to

Place Bibles

In Soviet Union

Swedish Pentecostals have re-
ceived permission to ship 12 mil-
lion New Testaments and chil-
dren's Bible story books into the
Soviet Union over the next five
years.
According to G. Raymond
Carlson, Assemblies of God gen-
eral superintendent, the New Tes-
taments are being produced in
Stockholm, Sweden. Carlson re-
ported that trucks from the Soviet
Union come into Sweden to pick
up the-finished-volumes and -de- -
liver them to sites in the U.S.S.R.
Carlson explained that the
Swedish printing press can pro-
duce the New Testaments "at the
rate of 50,000 copies a day for 50
cents each." The full-color chil-
dren's Bible story books are print-
ed in Yugoslavia for $2 each.
Jerry Parsley, field director
for Eurasia, said that representa-
tives from the Swedish Pentecos-
tal organization "Bibles for All"
met with Assemblies of God offi-
cials in Springfield, Mo., in April
to discuss the joint venture.
Parsley stressed that the 12
million represents the number of
New Testaments and Bible story
books for which permission has
been granted. At present, he said,
available money has limited the
number which have actually be
produced.
At a recent convention in
Minneapolis, Light-for-the-Lost
councilmen pledged $150,000 to-
ward the project.
According to Parsley, funds
are now available to send more
than 235,000 of the New Testa-
ments and children's Bible story
books into the Soviet Union.
In a related project, the U.S.
Assemblies of God is working
with Swedish Pentecostals to
publish an updated translation of
the Scriptures in the Ukrainian
language.
Arrangements were made to
produce 250,000 copies of the
New Testament in Ukrainian.
They should be completed some-
time this fall. another 250,000
are expected to be printed by De-
cember.

sioner Peters stated that the County Commission-
ers will get the pagers free of charge, for allowing
Biddle Communications to leave their repeater on

dom. He stated that U.S. Senator Bob Graham is
