i" 1k 3)' I' HE USPS 518-880 FIFTY-THIRD YEAR, NUMBER42 INDUSTRY DEEP WATER PORT FINE PEOPLE SAFEST BEACHES IN FLORIDA PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1991 33 Per Copy Plus 2 Tax ... 350 Thrno, ele EeatdIn FrD IMangeen Belin Gives U After a 53-year tenure with St. Joe Paper Company, Jacob C. Belin stepped down Tues- day from the company's top executive position. Belin, who is 76, formally told St. Joe's board of directors at its annual organizational meeting in Jacksonville Tuesday, that he wold not submit his name for another term as St. Joe's chairman and chief executive officer. The board elected Belin chairman of its ex- ecutive committee and named W. L. Thornton chairman and chief executive officer. In more than half a century Belin has held virtually every executive position in St. Joe as well as many executive posts in its subsidiar- ies. OTHER OFFICERS NAMED Thornton, who lives in St. Augustine, had been St. Joe's president and chief operating of- ficer. He has been president since 1984. He is also chairman, president and chief executive- officer of Florida East Coast Industries, the holding company for the Florida East Coast Railway which is controlled by St. Joe. Thornton is also president of Talisman Sug- rp Positions ar Corporation, a subsidiary of St. Joe, located in Belle Glade. Earlier this year he was elected chairman and chief executive officer of St. Joe Forest Products Company and president of St. Joe Land and Development Company. He is also a co-trustee of the Alfred I duPont Testa- mentary Trust and is an officer and director of The Nemours Foundation. Robert Nedley, of Port St. Joe, was elected by the firm's board of directors as president and chief operating officer. Nedley has been in charge of St. Joe's mill operations and forest re- sources. He was named a vice president of the firm since 1982 and a director since 1989. Nedley, who has lived in Port St. Joe since his youth, joined the company's shipping de- partment in 1961 after graduation from Florida State University. He is chairman of the Florida Pulp and Paper Association. BELIN TO REMAIN ACTIVE He will continue to serve as chairman of the (See BELIN on Page 7) Board Disenchanted with Parks Chairman Says: "County Can't Afford Maintainence on Salinas" A query from Parks Committee chairman John Reeves, about whether or not the County Commission wished to apply for more state grants to improve parks in the county, generated a discus- sion which made It evident that the Commission is becoming disenchanted with their Parks Committee and parks in general. The disenchantment with parks stemmed from an observa- tion made by chairman, Ed Creamer, who said, "Gulf County can't afford to support Salinas Park [at Dead Man's Curve]". What spurred Creamer's remark was a change order request- ed by. Committee chairman, for Salinas, which rubbed the Com- mission the wrong. way. Both Creamer and Commissioner Billy Ttavlor felt Reeres was too involved in the construction activities e at the park and Traylor finally capped the discussion off by mak- ing a motion that any changes made in the construction project by the committee, should be brought to the Commission for con- sideration by at least three members of the Committee, includ- ing the vice-chairman and the requests be made only at an open meeting of the Board. Traylor agreed with Creamer, that the county could not sup- port the operation of Salinas. "I'm not opposed to parks, but we can't afford to maintain this park. It will require .constant super- vision or people will tear it up faster than we can build it. It will require round-the-clock supervision and we can't afford that." Creamer remarked, 'You're looking at about $70,000 a year there and we don't have that kind of money available." Traylor and Creamer were also disturbed that Reeves' change order-while solving a problem-would substitute spending money from a state grant obtained for construction, to using county tax money. Building inspector, Don Butler, who has been overseeing the job for the county, made a suggestion to solve the problem, which would reimburse the county for any out-of-pocket ex- pense, and the Board went along with his suggestion. AGREE TO APPLICATION The Commission agreed to make a request for state recrea- tion money to make improvements to the Wimico Park at White City. The park, which features a playground and boat launch facil- ity into the Intracoastal Waterway, is receiving considerable use, according to the Board's observations. The Board has plans for improvements there, while they are disturbed over the money being poured into Salinas, a park they say they can't maintain. Creamer remarked, "It's a mystery to me why we have such problems as people getting sick over tainted water at White City and we can't get money to complete a water system there, but we can get $180,000 in state money to build a park which will be torn up in just a short while." The Commission also gave Building Department director Ralph Rish, permission to apply for grant money from the State of Florida, to purchase 580 feet of beachfront property at St. Joe Beach. The property has been offered to the County and would give access to a public beach in the area, where there is present- ly none. Dr. James Cersosimo tells County Commissioners there is a lack of communication between he and the Board. Cersosimo, Board, Bury i the Hatchet t Chairman Still Wants to Ax the Doctor Workmen are making swift progress in the construction of Salinas Park on St. Joseph Peninsula near Dead Man's Curve. Dr. James Cersosimo, direc- tor of the Gulf County Health De- partment, approached the Gulf County Commission Tuesday, to try and settle a simmering resent- ment which has been building for the past few months, largely due to lack of communication. Cersosimo moved his family to Lynn Haven in January, when he received an alert notice from the Air Force.Reserve, to be ready to report for Desert Storm. The Board had come up with a requirement that their Health Department director make his residence in Gulf County, after an uncomfortable experience with Cersosimo's predecessor, who lived on a sailboat in Panama City, during his tenure here. Cersosimo told the Commis- sion his reasons for moving to Lynn Haven, saying his wife worked there and he had no de- sire to have her driving back and forth to Port St. Joe with two young children every day, with him off in Saudi Arabia. "I wanted them to be nearer her work, for her convenience, if I was shipped out," he said simply. The Doctor said, "I like my job and I think I am doing a good job. When I took over, 18 months ago, the operation was deep in the red and no organization. We now provide the services we are allowed to do and the operation is now well within budget." Cersosimo said, "I still have a commitment to the Reserve as a result of the manner in which I received my training. I can't ig- nore that, but I also wish to re- main as the Health Doctor for Gulf County. I enjoy my job and I love the location." Commissioners Fortner, Pe- ters, Ray and Traylor all said they had nothing but good reports on Cersosimo's work with the Health Department and wanted to waver their residency requirement, to allow him to stay. Chairman Creamer remained adamant about replacing him, al- tough he was out-voted by his fel- low Board members. "I am still opposed to your continued employment. I feel you knew the residency requirements and then there was the matter of the letter you wrote to The Star in which you said some things which shouldn't have been said." Creamer said. Cersosimo admitted there was lack of face to face communi- cations on the part of both par- ties. "I was not notified, in per- (See HATCHET on Page 9) Mexico Beach Citizens Managing Their Own Development Improvements at the seaside ,community of Mexico Beach will continue, if their Commnity Im- provement Program stays active., "We intend to remain active and make this community a nice place to live and to visit," said Ja- kie Spann, president of the CIP. Tuesday night, the develop- ment group presented the Mexico Beach City Council with a check for $1,663.46, to do still another project to improve the ambiance in the community. The newest project will be one of three planned dune walk-over board- walks. The walk-over will be built on the east end of the beach near Fifth Street. The committee also has plans for two more walk- overs before they are finished. The CIP has been in business for only eight months, but al- ready they have performed such needed projects as designing, * paying for and constructing handsome, landscaped signs at the east and west entrances to the City, decorating them with shrubs, rocks and palm trees; supplying 50 palm trees and do- ing much of the landscaping along the newly-developed facili- ties on the canal, including the entrance triangle and the beach- front park. The committee has also adopted Highway 98 from Tyndall Air Force Base on the west to Gulf County on the east and have set up a program of keeping it clean. 'We have already removed all the litter from this four and a half miles once and are now busy maintaining that situation," Spann said. Two weeks ago, the commit- tee gave a cook-out party at the new canal park for Mexico Beach city employees and their employ- ees, to show their appreciation for the employees dedication to the .4 Mexico Beach Commissioner Sylvia check from Denise Thrasher [holding check, Whaley, city manager, John Mclnnis, Corn- right] and Jakie Spann, of the Mexico missioner Fred Nehring, Mayor Tom Hudson Beach CIP, to be used for community Im- and Commissioner Dana Angerer, accept a provements. task of keeping their community neat and clean. "This may be a small community in size, but it's large with pride" Spann said. Naturally, all of this activity takes money, and the CIP is deep- ly involved in several activities for raising money to pay for their projects. 'We have the only T- shirts available with the official Mexico Beach logo printed on the breast pocket," the committee president said. "We paid for this beach walk-over solely with T- shirt sales." In addition to the exclusive T- shirt sales, the active committee conducts flea markets, ticket sales, and anything they can think of to raise a few dollars. Spann said the committee has just begun to make their presence felt in Mexico Beach. "We have several more ideas we're kicking around," she said. I I J. C. BELIN Stepping Down L STAR THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, JUNE 13,1991 A Bargain There's nothing which will make a government think about potholes more than a substantial rainy season, which brings out the best in potholes. The real reason for about ninety percent of the potholes in the world, seem to have been caused by this situ- ation ... a lot of rain mixed with weak spots in the paving. And, there is nothing which will make people cognizant of the need for filling in potholes like a preponderance of the pesky things showing up in the streets and highways one drives on every day. Potholes demand attention, and given the nature of the beast, they get it! It is a decided inconvenience to drive down a street every day and be confronted by a teeth-jarring experi- ence each and every time one of the holes is hit. The number of active potholes which exist after the mixture of rain and weak paving spots, makes the jarring experiences come regularly and be difficult to avoid by the same ratio as the number of days of rain, making new potholes by the hour. By last Tuesday, the pesky nuisances had become so numer- ous on Port St. Joe streets that the problem occupied fully half the time of the scheduled City Commission meeting that night.- That's to advise you just how important it is to many of our peo- ple that potholes be put behind them. Potholes are easy to get excited or concerned about. The cur- rent crop which is as plentiful as a crop of winter wheat, has stirred the conscienceness of the City Commission to the point where they didn't even flinch when Public Works Director Frank Healy said he had a demonstration of the latest thing in pothole patching gadgets coming this week, to show off. Healy went on to say the new gadget is being adopted all over as the most effec- tive way to handle potholes, in order to keep them from washing out every time it rains. Then came the estimated price tag, and still not an eyebrow raised, nor a single breath sucked sharply in. It was all taken in stride when Healy said the equipment would cost in the neighborhood of $48,000. The point we're getting to is, had this presentation been made last July or August, when we were in the midst of a drought and potholes were something of a rarity, a $48,000 price tag for a pothole patcher would have received an immedi- ate brush-off. Since everyone is interested in getting rid of the bumper crop of front end wreckers we are presently blessed with, the $48,000 price tag seems to be almost a bargain. Don't you agree? Politics As Usual One of the most controversial topics of conversation these days. Is the so-called civil rights bill which is currently creeping its way through the halls of Congress. Those who want the bill passed-especially the minorities-are vehemently supportive of the bill, even though some of them have misgivings about much of the bill. Those who oppose the bill are just as vehemently opposed, but seem to be more unanimous in their opinion that the bill bodes far more bad than it does good. Those who are still neu- tral on the bill, fee4 we doont,really.need.the prpiionsr i, the bill because we have so many other. laws which protect peoples' righjtsfin the various categories which are being supported so hard in the new bill. Personally, we see no need to come up with a new so-called civil rights bill each and every year. Most of the bills we have read about seem to do more taking away of rights from some of the population than they do in giving new rights to others. We suppose that whatever is done, some are going to have their rights abridged and some are going to have certain rights written down in a law book somewhere which they already enjoy under laws currently in effect. The whole thing about a new civil rights bill seems to us to be more an exercise in politics than it is for any practical pur- pose. We'll never have an instant acceptance of minorities in some places, we believe. Having lived through most of the minority revolution here in this nation, we can see where there have been tremendous strides made in equal opportunity, which is really what we are talking about here. We think equal opportunity is being provided just about as fast as it can be assimilated and taken advantage of. So, what are we doing here? We feel we're just providing an- other forum for those who would posture before the voters, to beat their chests either in favor or against a bill whose benefits are already available and in force. IHunker Down with Kes Roy Could, I Couldn't I got a letter from a lady in Tallahassee saying that some of my little stories take her "way back" and "wouldn't It be nice if we could go back to those days?" I studied on that one for a while. Ma'am, let's not get carried away with this thing. Sure, a world without fast food places, and baseball players with ear rings would certainly be a kinder, gentler nation. And black and white movies are still my favorites but I got to thinking about some other things........... You take for instance, trying to go to sleep in July and August back in 1955. Sweat would be running down my neck, I'd keep searching for the cool spot on the sheet. We'd all end up out on the back porch, hoping for just a hint of a breeze. Today, I've got this lit- tle box on my wall. If it gets hot, I just turn the knob down. You'd think it's early March in my house all summer long. And I know you remember getting up on a school morning in January! The first problem was trying to dig out from under the 12 quilts, three blankets and two brothers that were laying on top of me. Listen, we worked at trying to stay warm. I'd ease my way to the edge of the bed, mentally counting the steps it would take to reach the fireplace in the living room. You remember the first step on that wooden floor? Boy howdy, that would jump start you! I'd leap down the hall and vault into the living room. You don't know the mornings I ate my Quaker Oats and dressed stand- ing on that hearth. I'd toast my face while my backside would be freezing. Then, I'd turn around and reverse the process. You know that little box I was telling you about that hangs on my wall. Well, when it gets cold, I turn that same knob up, the whole house gets warm. Not just the living room mind you, but the bedrooms, the kitchen, the bath- room.... I tell you, that box is magic. Sure, I've thought about "go- Ing back" many times. I'd love to hunker down once again on the front porch of Woodrow Kennon's Mercantile, Drygoods and Gro- cery Store. To see old Mr. Jack Cantrell and Frenchy Mayo at the checker board. Watch as Mr. Wil- lard Brush leaned over toward the NuGrape Soda thermometer and declare, "It's going to be an- other hot onel" It would be neat to once again hear the grown ups talk about Ike, the price of hogs and the Brooklyn Dodgers. But I wouldn't want to hunker there too long. Mr. Brooks might come needing some cotton pickers. I'd pull that heavy canvas sack down those rows with my back hurting, my knees hurting, every finger bleed- ing....... I'd pick all morning, then drag that extra heavy sack around to the back of the wagon to weigh in. Mr. Brooks paid the boys a penny a pound. "Let's see, Kesley, that's 29 pounds." Twenty nine pounds! Why '' ''a. s-fl." - I ~ff~l:? - * ,.'.-. . -, , -' -.e~ . Kesley Colbert that sack weighed a tbn. I'd acci- dently throwed in some dirt clods to help my cause. If I ever do "make it back" you can bet the first thing I'll do is check Mr. Brook's scale! And it would be nice to take an ice pick and jab me a hole through the cap of that small bot- tle Coke and nurse that drink for most of the afternoon. Coke in the small bottle in 1956 was the Real Thing. We were lucky if we got one a month. 'Course today, I can have a Coke a day if I want one. Shucks, I can have two. If it's really hot I'll drink three..... There were some embarrass- ing things back in those days. (See KESLEY on Page 3) Headed for Port ETAOIN SHRDLU *y - HERE IT IS, THE middle of June and you know what that means It means that good, ripe, sweet watermelons are waiting in the wings for someone to start en- joying. If it wasn't for watermelons, we'd more than likely have to cancel summer. The two just go together. Here in the Panhandle of Florida, they grow some of the best watermelons in the world. My friend, A. B. Traylor, grows watermelons every year and always sends me a sample, or two, or three, during the sea- son. A B. has a way with water- melons. His always turn out red. firm, sweet and juicy. I have heard other people say he just likes to grow them. He exists from summer to summer, just so he can plant and harvest watermel- ons. A.

I have seen a few of those shipped in melons already turn- ing up in the super markets the past two or three weeks, but they are nothing like the home-grown variety which comes along be- tween the middle of June to mid- July. After the beginning of sum- mer passes us by, and the steamy days of late July and Au- gust invade with their oppressive heat, we begin to get watermelons from central Georgia to Tennes- see, and they are an acceptable substitute to a North Florida mel- on. NOT ONLY KIDS like water- melon. They are a favorite of all ages. I know, I am no longer a kid, but I still like a sweet water- melon. One of life's greatest mo- ments is to go pick up my grand- son, stop by a local store and get an ice cold watermelon and then make a bee line for the back yard patio and some quality time eat- ing and spitting seeds. The tried and true method to eat a watermelon is still to just dig in and get wet from ear to ear, but after I started getting more mature, I usually eat my water- melon by cutting off a bite-size chunk at a time. Frenchie will take the water- melon left after the initial cutting, cut it off in bite size chunks and put in a bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Then, at night, while watching a Braves baseball game, out will come that bowl of water- melon and times could never be better. ME AND WATERMELONS have been pals for a long time. When I was just a young boy, back in Oklahoma, we lived right across the street from the ice plant. The operator of the plant always stocked up good on water- melons every summer and placed them In his Ice holding room. Now. you talk about good You could get one of those mel- ons, slice it open and start filling up. The meat was so cold it would hurt your teeth to eat it. I remember one time, when we went across the street to get a watermelon, Mr. Bryant, the own- er, let my brother Will and I go in- side the ice room and pick out our own watermelon. We went in, enjoying the delicious cold [in the days before air conditioning] after the scorching, dry heat of an Oklahoma summer. Inside the room, the wall was lined with pipes all covered with frost, which carried the refriger- ant to keep the room cold. Will was always an adventur- ous type and he decided to lick some of the frost off one of those pipes. He touched the pipe with his tongue and lo and behold, he was stuck tightly Will started howling as loud as. he could for someone to get him loose. I didn't know how to get him loose and all he knew was that he was stuck and his tongue was getting more painful by the minute. I finally ran to get Mr. Bryant , and he came in to assay the situ- ation. He grunted once or twice then went to get some water and pour it on Will's tongue and the ice-covered pipe. Will was finally released from his frozen tongue hold, we picked up our watermel- on and got out of the room real quick before he got stuck again. BACK IN THOSE days, you were only half through with a wa- termelon when you ate the meat out of it. Enjoy that to the fullest, but there was still more to come. Naturally, when you have three or four young boys around, a watermelon gets eaten right down to the white on the rind, with a little fudging if momma isn't looking. A kid likes watermelon! After the ripe center was eat- en, we had to gather up the piec- es of rind and get to work cutting the hard, green outside off the white part of the rind. This was the first step in making watermel- on rind preserves Our grandmother lived with us in Oklahoma, and grandma had a recipe for making preserves out of almost everything. Water- melon rind was on that list of pre- serve ingredients. Grandma worked for nearly a half a day making up preserves from the rinds from a good-sized watermelon. She also made preserves out of those little tomatoes which are now called salad tomatoes. Just as they were getting ripe, she picked them and made them into preserves. Grandma made our house a little crowded, but those tomato and watermelon rind preserves made her Welcome as far as the Ramsey boys were concerned. -THE STAR- Postmaster: SUBSCRIPTIONS INVARIABLY PAYABLE IN ADVANCE -T HE STAR0 Send Address Change to In County-$15.90 Year In County--10.60 Six Months SWNPuished Every SS 18880Wilams Avenu The Star Out of County-$21.20 Yea Out of County-$15.90 Six Months by Th Star ubhiost Office Box 308 TO ALL ADVERTISERS In case of error or omissions in advertise- Second-Class Postage Paid at Port St. Joe, FL Port St. Joe, FL 32456-0308 ments, the publishers do not hold themselves liable for damage fur- ="N .Phone 227-.1278 their than amount received for such advertisement.

JUNE 13.1 11901 Shad Phantry By Wendell Campbell For Children Only Hi kids Can I play with you? Hey, don't be scared of me. I won't bite you. I'm really a friendly dog. My name is Duke. What's yours? I love to play "toss and fetch." My master and I used to do it all the time but I slobbered all over the ball and made his hand slimy so he quit throwing it for me. Want to know a secret? I slobbered all over the ball on purpose. I knew he didn't like it and that's why I did it I used to do a lot of things he didn't like, like run off and not come back, but that was a long time ago and I don't do them any more. Want to know what happened? Well, I ran off one day and when he whistled for me I wouldn't come back because I had spot- ted this beautiful girl dog...well, she wasn't that beautiful, but she was a girl and I wanted to stay with her for a while. It wasn't long before someone came out of the house and ran me off so I decided to run back to the truck my master was whistling from. Know what? He was mad! When I jumped in the truck he tried to hit me with his hand and you know what I did? I tried to bite him. I really did. Want to know what happened next? Well, all I remember is seeing that board I think they call it a 2x4 coming at me and for a long time after that all I saw was stars. And when I quit seeing stars, you know what I had? I had a terrible headache for a long, long time. Know what? I don't try to bite him or anyone else any more. No sir. I bite another dog every now and then but I don't bite people any more. But I didn't come here to talk about that; I came here to play! Try to catch me? See how fast I can run! I can catch you... Hey, what is that over there? It looks like another dog trying to come into my territory. Excuse me, boys and girls, but I had better go run that dog off and mark my territory before we have every hound in town over here. Hey, that didn't take long. Did you see how that dog ran when I barked real loud and ran at him? That's called "bluffing" and I do it a lot. I'm glad I went over there because I had to use the bathroom anyway. That lady didn't like it when I marked her car tire. Doesn't she know that's what tires are for? Know what I like to do better than chase balls and sticks? I like to chase things in the water. I'll bet you like to swim, too, don't you? Let's all run down to the canal and jump in. Come on! Don't pay any attention to her. Well, you're all a bunch of chickens! Hey, let me climb up there and slide down that slide. Wouldn't it be fun if we had a bucket filled with water at the bottom and we could "splash" in? See if your mother will go get us one. She won't? Well, big people just don't like to have fun like kids and dogs do. Well, I see the big man has just pulled up at the house. I had better run home and play like I'm glad to see him or he might pull out that board again. He doesn't care if I come over here and play, but I don't want to take any chances. I can act real happy. Watch me as I run, how I wag my tail and bark a friendly bark. But you know what I'm going to do one day? I'm going to run up to him like I'm glad to see him and bite him as hard as I can right on the arm or leg. Yes sir! That's what I'm going to do... the day I'm ready to die! Hey, I've got to go. I had a good time playing with ya'll! I hope I see you tomorrow. Remember me, my name's Duke and I love you! k. - What A Mess! To the Editor: Recently I was visiting rela- tives in the Port St. Joe area. During my visit ILattended several Little League baseball games. It please me to see how well orga- nized the Little League Associa- tion was. However, I was appalled at the litter, left by the parents and children. What a mess! There are trash containers at all the fields and no one knows how to use. them. The most ironic thing is... when you enter Gulf County you see signs that read, "HELP US KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL" "PLEASE DO NOT LITTER". Obviously, the residents in the Port St. Joe area can not read and do not take pride in their community. This lack of concern towards the community shows they do not care about the envi- ronment they are raising their children in. Just a concerned visitor. Sincerely, T. Boyd V., Georgia P.S. Check the restrooms... they are worse than the field. * He Disagrees To the Editor: I don't know how the other School Board members feel about your editorial of June 6, 1991; but I personally feel that you are the culprit this time. You referred to the "in- fighting" which is so rampant on our County and School board governing bodies and that our governing bodies are not working as a unit. You blamed the single member district concept for our woes in that we are not responsi- ble nor answerable to all the vot- ers in the county. The Florida Statutes hold that "no single member has power un-_ til he or she votes in the Board meeting, with the majority ful- ing". Any decisions the School Board has made or will make, represents the majority rule. I may not like the entire con- cept of Single Member District but it is the "Law of the Land" and we are constitutionally bound to follow it to the letter un- less it is changed. I The School Board welcomes constructive criticism and has been functioning quite well with input from The Concerned Par- ents Group and other concerned citizens to improve our system for everyone. Your comments can perhaps be excused by your apparent lack of knowledge of the facts, since you or any member of your staff does not attend our meetings. Please let this letter serve as an open invitation to you to attend these meetings come and see how we operate before you in- clude us in your editorial com- We're just down the street in caseyou needs.

Chief Carl Richter said Bailey was found dead in her home early Tuesday morning, from unex- plained causes. She was in bed. Richter said the department didn't suspect foul play, but Flori- da law requires an autopsy be performed in such instances to verify death from natural causes. TWO JUVENILES CHARGED Two juveniles, aged 10 and 12, were charged with grand theft Tuesday, in a matter involving two, motor vehicles. The first vehicle was taken from the AN Railroad parking lot on First Street Monday night. The vehicle was later located near the lot, stuck in the sand. The vehicle was owned by the Railroad com- pany. Tuesday morning, operators of a switch engine, noticed two young boys in a vehicle in the same parking lot, and called po- lice to the vicinity. As the boys were approached, they ran from the scene. They were later identified by the switch engine operators, along with po- lice, and apprehended for ques- tioning, which resulted In charges being filed. ments. James Hanlon School Board Member District 3 Thanks! To the Editor: We would like to extend many thanks to our County Commis- sioner, Nathan Peters, Mr. Graves and his employees at Mosquito Control. To elaborate I live on Madison Avenue, .better known to some as Niles Road; for some months a pile of branches and debris from the lot that was cleared beside our house has been sitting in the ditch. This posed a potential haz- ard not only to the kids who walked in the street to go around the pile; or to the the kids who chased balls into the pile (as the lot is used for ball practice) due to it being a perfect haven for snakes and such; but to the traf- fic, as from the side street (Jack- son Ave.) you could not see past the pile into the oncoming traffic which was largely buses and ve- hicles on the way to school. Upon my notifying the above named parties, I went home for lunch the following day and found, much to my delight, the pile was removed with no linger- ing sign that it had very been there. Again I extend my thanks and thank on behalf of other con- cerned citizens for the prompt- ness and efficiency of our County Commissioner and our county employees.

POT PLANTS CONFISCATED Police officers located and de- stroyed 13 marijuana plants found growing in the woods be- tween Garrison Avenue and the drainage canal alongside Knowles Avenue Tuesday morning. The plants were deep in the woods near the Ninth Street ex- tension, growing in individual pots. 'There was equipment there for their cultivation, such as wa- tering Jugs, garden tools, etc.," Chief Richter said. The plants were brought into the police station, where they were destroyed. No arrests have been made, as yet. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT Emmanuel Fisher was charged with battery on law en- forcement officers Friday of last week, after an altercation in North Port St. Joe. Police were called to the loca- tion, where about 15 young adults were involved.in a fracas. When officers attempted to break up the melee, Fisher turned on the officers and was placed In jail on charges stemming from the at- tack. ing a diary of any cable problems I incurred on a day-to-day basis. Here are the results. May 9th: The entire cable went out at 1:33 a.m., and when I retired at 3 a.m., it was still out. I called Gulf Cable and got the re- cording. May 10: The Dothan channel was hazy all day, but, to be fair, I was informed channel 4's prob- lems stem from the Dothan sta- tion itself. May 11 th: The entire cable went out at 3:15 p.m. and was re- instated around 6:45 p.m., minus channel 3; it was scrambled. I called a friend at the Cape and her cable was fine. She has Multi- Vision. One of the major problems associated with this cable compa- ny is, unless the problem occurs during their working hours, Mon- day through Friday, we are out of luck. If you call the company af- ter hours, you get the recorder, and the problem seems to remain until they arrive for work. It would be helpful if they had an emergency number they could monitor, or get call forwarding, and have the calls forwarded to a serviceman during off hours. For information purposes, I contacted three cable companies that supply cable from Panama City Beach to Apalachicola. Listed below are the companies, along with their prices for BASIC cable: Comcast Cablevision: $18.05 plus tax (41 channels) MultiVision: $18.95 plus tax (29 channels) Gulf Cable: $17.50 plus tax (18 channels) If you feel the cable should be better, .contact Johnny Linton. Johnny can work with Rigel Com- munications, and maybe some of these problems can be resolved.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashley Lee Wood of Bellview have announced the birth of their daughter, Ash- leigh Nicole. Nicole was born -June 4, weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. Her grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Cross of Port St. Joe, and Mr. and Mrs. Ashley Wood of Panama City. Great grandparents are Mrs. Robbie 'Cooey of West- ville, Wilmer Wood of Ft. Myers, and Mrs. Pat Corbin of Canton- ment. By Roy Lee Carter County Extension Director This time of year, many news releases and articles center around specific wildlife pests in the garden. For your reading en- joyment here are some of the re- ported controls, many research based, others sworn by and a few not so practical or successful. Likely targets for rabbits are: fall and winter vegetables, bark of young trees, and raspberries. Some suggested controls are: The long list of reputed repellents that homeowners sprinkle around their gardens include wood ash- es, ground hot peppers, chili pow- der, garlic powder, crushed mint leaves, tobacco dust, tankage or blood meal, talcum powder, and powdered rock phosphate. Most of these need to be replenished every so often or after rains. For the die hard organic gardeners, fox urine, lion dung, and dried blood have good reputations as rabbit deterrents as well. The dis- advantages would be the smell, attraction to other animals and locating a source, not to mention Sthe collection process. Other re- ported controls are: *Set old leather shoes around the garden to give it that "hu- mans are here" smell.

This means patients are go- ing home earlier after a hospital stay and are not as fully recov- ered as they once were after such a period of time spent in a hospi- tal. In many cases, the patient still needs specialized care, medi- cation, shots, physical, breathing and speech therapy, and skilled nursing care. The Home Health Care pro- gram takes up the slack in medi- cal care for recovering patients. Here in Gulf and franklin Counties, the Home Health Care is operated out of Gulf Pines Hos- pital. Carol Hudson, director of the local Home Health Care service, described some of the services and the manner of operation of her particular medical service to the Rotary Club at their regular meeting last Thursday. CHILDREN'S HEALTH FORUM Speech In Kids [ Usually Begins |at 12-15 mo. By, ,,-, .: Elizabeth C. Jones, M.D. Communication through speech is one of the most important accomplishments parents can teach children. It begins with baby talk and progresses to complete verbal expressions. When a baby first begins to coo and make noises, parents will hold the baby and make noises back. The baby will look at the par- ent's face and notice facial expressions and muscle movements. Soon the random Ma-ma and Da-da become Mama and Daddy. Nursery rhymes and songs have a place in early speech devel- opment. The informal and exploratory noises and sounds involved with these everyday occurrences are very helpful. The ages will vary somewhat, but in general, babies begin form- ing words at 12-15 months and have several words in their vocabu- laries by 18 months. Most are 18 months to two years old before they begin putting words together. Infantile speech is often noticed in the two. three, and even four year .old child. He is speaking, but only his parents or someone closely associated with the family can understand what he is say- ing. If a four year old child can not be understood by his playmates, he needs to see a speech therapist prior to beginning'kindergarten. If left alone, the other children will ridicule him and make him un- happy. Speech therapists have very good results with this problem and it is worth the effort and money involved. Parents of older children should encourage self expression at home. Do not let one child monopolize the conversation time. Insist that each child have a fair share of the time for discussion. Practice may not make perfect, but does make speaking much easier. Encourage children to speak in a group and before a group. Start with little things. Coax a shy child to speak by asking simple, easy to answer questions. Give praise for efforts and accomplish- ments. Some young .children are very shy about self expression, but can be encouraged to give voice and expression in puppet play. Older children often can speak for a character in a play with more ease than if they are speaking for themselves. Role playing helps a lot in self expression. -4 Wins Science Award Charles Osborne, Science Department Chairman, is shown pre- senting Paula Pendaris the Al Hargraves Memorial Science Award in recognition of scholastic achievement in the field of science for the School year 1990-91.

FPC Warns of Possible Summer Energy Shortages Over the next several weeks, Florida Power Corporation's cus- tomers will be receiving special notices in their electric bills warning about potential energy shortages in Florida this summer. "Over the next 12 months, we expect over 278,000 people to make Florida their new home," the notice reads. "As our growth mushrooms, we face more traffic on our roads, and less water and energy to go around during periods of peak demand." Florida Power is urging customers to remember that if a long hot spell hits the state and a major power plant must come off line for whatever reason, shortages, or even blackouts, could occur. 'This is a statewide problem, not just a Florida Power problem," explained Rick Janka, manager of Florida Power's Public Informa- tion Department. "Naturally, we hope to give our customers as much warning as possible but situations could develop where blackouts become nec- essary without the opportunity to issue a warning," he said. The best time of day to conserve energy during the summer is between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Here's To The Spirit of 1991 Project Graduation 1991 and the Senior Class of Port St. Joe High School would like to thank I all who participated in making Project Graduation a success.

We lack space to do more than introduce this topic to your thinking. So I will close with one reminder, God had given no one the authority to change the meaning of scripture texts. So whatever your bias is, be sure it is supported by the word of God. t streets after weeks of heavy rainfall. In the Patching Potholes photo above, they are shown on Long Ave- nue working on a man-sized pothole. Yester- day, the city authorities inspected and Port St. Joe's premiere pothole patching tried out a newly developed pothole patch- crew took to the streets this past week to er, which is supposed to do a more lasting do war with the many trenches in the city job than present methods. Changing Texts Common Today God has given no one the au- thority to change the meaning of scripture texts. Yet that appears to be a common practice. I do not mean that we cannot translate scripture into new lan- guages. Nor do I mean that we shouldn't correct errors in former translations. These are ways of transmitting the meaning of scripture to each generation. Clearly God has blessed these ef- forts. I am getting at a different problem. One that is perennial. The problem we are considering comes out of human pride and a desire to maintain or create new traditions. An example of this is the cur- rent effort of a vocal minority known as the radical, militant feminists. Their efforts to change the way Christians think are a mixed bag. They have raised our con- sciousness of the sociological bias against women. This has rightful- ly opened <&e:door of opportunity or half the population. And it has gone a long way to reduce dis- crimination and sexual harass- ment. Unfortunately there is no no- ticeable change in the exploita- tion of women in entertainment. Choreographers, and producers of music videos, movies, and TV programs still graphically portray women as objects. And we all know what their efforts have done for the unborn. Yet a willing pub- lic still clamors for more violence and sex. The most serious falling of this movement is the growing Mary Thompson Mary Pearse Thompson, 53, of Humboldt, Tennessee, passed away June 8 in Jackson, Tennes- see. She was born in Shamrock- and moved from Florida to Ten- : nessee in 1967. She had lived in' Humboldt for the past four years. She belonged to the Central Ave- nue Christian Church where she served as a Deaconess and a Sunday School teacher. She was also president of the Christian Women's Fellowship and Chair- man of the Christian Ed. Commit- tee. She was a former resident of Port St. Joe. Survivors include her hus- band, Frank N. Thompson of Humboldt; two sons, Bobby Thompson and Mark Thompson, both of Humboldt; one daughter, Katherine Thompson of Hum- boldt; and one brother, John Banks Harris Jr. of Ocatillo, Cali- fornia. Funeral services were held Monday at Central Avenue Chris- tian Church with interment in Rose Hill Cemetery in Humboldt. Nick Mosconis Nick Carrin Mosconis, 40, of Apalachicola, died Friday momrn- ing, June 7; in Apalachicola. Nickie was a lifelong resident of Apalachicola, and had been a cor- rections officer with the Franklin County Sheriffs Department for more than 11 years. He was a member of Apalachicola Lodge F&AM No. 76, the Scottish Rite Bodies and Trinity Episcopal Church. Survivors are his sisters, Mary Helen Renfo of Port St. Joe, and Astasia Amtsburg of Red- ding, California. Funeral services .were held Monday at Trinity Episcopal Church. Interment followed in Magnolia Cemetery with Masonic rites. success the movement is having at importing a female deity into Christianity. Bette Midler's Moth- er Earth is coming alive in new Bible translations and in the ex- perimental liturgies and the trial prayers of several denominations. A careful look at the titles in Christian book stores will show that the popular writers are pick- ing up on this trendy theology. This is especially pronounced in children's literature. But before we. rewrite God's word to satisfy our own pride and indignation, perhaps we should consider the fact that every world religion which has a female deity - also has a theology which accom- plishes what we are seeing done in society today. The female deities demand loyalty and special privileges. But they- also promote moral -license.; and violence. For instance, ,the Hindu Mother Earth is depicted in grotesque statue form with the Stroke Club The 'Stroke Club of Bay County will hold their next regu- larly scheduled meeting Thurs- day, June 13 at Bay Medical Cen- ter's office building, classroom #1 at 4:30 p.m. CT.

DUNCAN Pastor KEITH PATE Min. of Music & Children - V = A I I U U I I I Ghost fishing? Do we have ghost fish in St. Joseph Bay? Ghost fishing is the ability of lost or discarded fishing equipment to continue to catch 'fish or other marine organisms. Marine ani- mals can become entangled in a gill net, cast net, chicken wire, chain link fence, or a monoflla- ment line that is discarded in the bay. Last week a local resident found and reported a marine en- tanglement behind his house on St. Joseph Bay. He was taking a stroll along the bay during low tide and found an eight inch ter- rapin struggling to free itself. Her hind legs were twisted in a net, that had hung on a snag, along the mud flats of the bay. He freed the small female Ornate Dia- mondback Terrapin from her bonds. She was carried to Dr. Tim Nelson DDV, who rendered prompt medical treatment. She was then cared for and placed under medical observation. Her distended hind leg wounds were unable to heal and she died the next day. Life is a daily struggle for both man and beast. The Ornate Diamondback Terrapin suc- cumbed to a very painful death due to the careless neglect of some individual who allowed their net to ghost fish. There are seven subspecies of the diamondback terrapins rang- ing from coastal Maine to Mexico. The northwest Florida Coastal salt marsh estuaries are the homes for the Ornate Diamond- Lodge 111 to Meet Port St. Joe Lodge No. 111 will meet for a DDGM official visit on Thursday, June 20. Dinner will be served. All master masons are cordially invited to this stated communication. 0131TUAR~ g IES Omie White Omie White, 82, of Highland View, passed away suddenly Tuesday evening, June 4 at her home.

During the terra- pins' entire life cycle, they never leave the bay area. The females nest from April through June on the white sandy beaches of the bay. She lays a clutch of four to seven eggs. More than one clutch may be laid each season. The ob- long to elliptical pinkish-white bumpy appearing eggs, are de- posited in a flaskshaped to trian- gular nest. The mature female, six years or older, lays her eggs on the. inner beaches and shores of the bay. The eggs incubate for a period of 90 days. Both the male and female ter- rapin crawl on exposed mud flats to feed and bask in the sun. They. feed on fiddler crabs, marine worms, mosquito larvae, and de- tritus along the mud flats. Very little is known about these salt marsh terrapins. In fact, unless one is actively fishing or studying the bay, they would never know that they exist in St. . Joseph Bay. This female Ornate Diamondback Terrapin was the unfortunate catch of a ghost fisherman. "-IE MIRACLE CENTER" NEW COVENANT MISSIONARY WORLD OUTREACH CENTER...

Game Phil Lanford, head football coach and athletic director for Port St. Joe High School, is in Gainesville this week preparing for the annual Florida Georgia football game. Lanford was cho- sen to serve as defensive coordi- nator for the Florida team, along with head coach Dewight Thomas of Escambia High School and Mike Pittman of Sewanee High School. Lanford has been working with the Florida high school sen- iors chosen for the honor all this week, and they will play this Sat- urday, June 15, at 8:00 p.m. The Sunshine Sports Network will tel- evise the game, and it can be seen locally on cable (if it's on the air). Lanford has been the head football coach and athletic direc- tor of Port St. Joe High School for the past five years, having come here from Escambia High, where he was defensive coach with Thomas. During his first season the Sharks posted a 1-9 record, but have steadily improved each year to become the state AA run- ner-ups in 1989 and the Regional champions in 1990. The last two seasons the Sharks have posted a 20-5 record. Twelve players have been named to All State honors during the past two years under the coaching of Lanford, and four have been selected to play in the prestigious North-South game. The Krafties, having won the local Dixie Youth 10-12 year old championship here in Port St. Joe for the sixth consecutive year, will represent St. Joe in the annual League Championship Tournament to be hosted by Call- away. Not only have the Krafties won the local division but have also won the District IV tourna- ment in 1988 and 1989, and fin- ished second to Hutt Insurance of Lynn Haven in 1990. Other teams participating in the tournament are Lynn Haven, Bayou George, Mid-City and Parker. The double elimination tournament will begin for the Krafties at 5:00 p.m. EDT Satur- day as they face Mid City. A win will see them playing Monday at 9:00 p.m. EDT and a loss will put them into the loser's bracket game at 7:00 p.m. EDT. Kraftie team members are: Seth Campbell, Jesse Colbert, Doyle Crosby, Everett Gant, Josh Kostic, Brian Jenkins, Travis Jenkins, Tyson Pittman, Nick Sweazy, Chad Thompson, Jamie White, and Ryan Yeager. Coach Phil Lanford (left) will be the defensive coordinator for the Florida team in the annual Florida-Georgia game. DO CacIo GULF COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE PORT ST.

For the parents of children who have not completed their immuni- zations, early planning can help avoid a last minute rush. The childhood immunization series should begin at two months of age and continue on schedule. If the schedule is fol- lowed, the child will complete the series by age 18 months long before school entry. This early protection is very important be- cause diseases like measles and pertussis (whooping cough) are most serious in young babies. To protect the health of school children, children of all grades in any Florida school - public and private must be ful- ly immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, and rubella. The same immuniza- tions are required for children at- tending a Florida licensed child care facility. In addition, child care attendees will soon be re- quired to have proof of immuniza- tion against Haemophilus b ("Hib") disease. To attend school or child care, these immuniza- tions must be recorded on an HRS Form 680. If a child's immu- nization record is on a different form, staff at the local HRS County Public Health Unit can re- view the information to make cer- tain the child is properly immu- nized for age and then copy it onto a Form 680.

Some ofthe diseases, such as measles, have actually been increasing in Florida."

On Leader At the regular meeting of the Lions Club on Wednesday, June 4, a program was presented by Hal Coggin representing the Lead- er Dog School for the Blind. Mr. Coggin explained that the Leader Dog School for the Blind is the oldest and the largest school of its kind. At the school, blind peo- ple are taught how to work with these wonderful animals. A film on the school during an actual training session was shown, and the professionalism demonstrated by the staff was remarkable. The leader dog program enables some blind people to be independent and accomplish many tasks that would be otherwise impossible. It is through the Lions Clubs and other charitable organizations that the Leader School is able to Darley Family Reunion June 16 Members of the Darley family, one of the oldest in Florida, will celebrate their annual reunion on June 16 at the Parker Communi- ty Center. Dinner on the ground will be- gin at 12:30 p.m. and all friends of the family are invited to attend. Most of those attending the reunion are direct descendents of the Rev. John Thomas and Georgiana Darley, who came to Florida from Georgia before the turn of the century. They home- steaded in Esto, located in north Holmes County near the Alabama state line. Some of the clan mi- grAted,.. t, qalhoux and Gulf countles... . Two members of the family are still living. They are Mrs. Treasy Darley Kemp of Wewa- hitchka and Mrs. Cosseta Darley Walsingham of Port St. Joe. The first Darley to emigrate to Florida is believed to have been James Darley. Records in the county clerk's office in Pensacola lists James as a signatory in a property transaction in 1822. The United States purchased Florida from Spain in 1821. Flori- da was made a territory with Gen. Andrew Jackson being named the first territorial governor. Many of his soldiers remained in Florida, and it is believed that James Dar- ley was one of this number. Capt. Robert Darley of Mor- ganville, New Jersey, is reimunion chairman. M.M. Darley is reunion secretary-treasurer. He resides at Panama City Beach, and can be called at 235-0993 for additional information. The reunion will be observed from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and some early birds will be on hand at 10:00 a.m. "New Office - same good neighbor."

Hurricanes usually affect Florida in a cyclic manner, and many locations have gone more than 25 years without any direct hurricane strikes, and over 50 years without a major hurricane strike. During this period of time the population growth of Florida has been very rapid, so that over 85 percent or 8.7 million coastal county residents (including those around Lake Okeechobee) have never experienced the devastating effects of a major hurricane. Florida Hurricane Awareness Week has as its purpose the edu- cation of both newer and older residents as to the dangers of hurricanes, and actions to be tak- en before, during, and after hurri- canes. This can best be done by facts about what has happened during past hurricanes, what can happen in future hurricanes, and safety rules, as they relate to your local area.

The plants need four applications of fertilizer per year in early spring, late spring, summer, and early winter. To extend the blooming period for as long as possible, prune out the faded flower cluster. New crape myrtle plants can be obtained from seeds or cuttings. Because the cuttings root so readily, this is the easiest way to propagate. Hardwood cuttings will root in November or December. Softwood cuttings will root in mid-summer.
