Self Defense Claimed In Trial

Defendant Claims Beatings by Victim Frightened Her


The State of Florida is at-
tempting to prove a second de-
gree murder charge against
Elaine Addison this week, in Gulf
County's second murder trial this
year. Addison is attempting to
prove that the shot which killed
her estranged husband, Curtis
Addison, was fired accidentally,
as she used a .357 magnum pis-
tol to scare the victim from her
* home after an argument, in:
which sworn testimony said, she
had been struck by the victim.
The trial in which Elaine Ad-
dison, a corrections officer for the
Gulf County Sheriffs Department
is charged with the killing, is ex-
pected to go to the jury today af-
ter two and a half days of taking
testimony in the matter.
Tuesday, attorney Paul Kom-
arak, Addison's attorney, said the
defendant was beaten and threat-


ened by her estranged husband
on several occasions. In Tues-
day's testimony, Addison's
daughters said that just prior to
the shooting, their father had
argued with their mother, striking
her in her home at 239 Avenue D.
The defendant testified that
she secured the gun after she
had been struck by her husband,
and used it to drive him from her
home. During the emotion
charged interchange between the
two, she testified that the gun
went off, striking Addison in the
back, but that she doesn't re-
member the shooting.
The medical examiner said
the bullet entered the lower back,
severed the spinal column and
lodged in Addison's abdominal
cavity.
"I just wanted to scare him,"


Elaine Addison said.
All through the defense testi-
mony Tuesday, Komarak used
the theme that Elaine Addison
was abused and frightened. He
brought out that she had secured
restraining orders against her
husband in the past because of
the violence of their meetings.
Prosecutor, Fred Witten was
expected to make his case against
Addison Wednesday, in which the
State of Florida is pursuing the
second degree conviction.
Witten was expected to com-
plete his questioning of witnesses
by Wednesday evening, with sum-
mation scheduled for this morn-
ing [Thursday] after which the
case will be placed in the hands
of the jury for a decision.
Circuit Judge Dedee Costello
is presiding over the trial.


J. C. Belin, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of St. Joe Paper Company, and a
67-year resident of Port St. Joe, told the Port
St. Joe Kiwanis Club Tuesday that Florida will
have a population of 16 million people by the
turn of the century and will need a tax base
which produces considerably more money than
the current system does.
Belin, the only member of the state's Tax
and Budget Reform Commission residing west
of the Apalachicola River, said the committee
would be presenting several suggestions to
Governor Lawton Chiles and the Cabinet in a
short while.
The committee has been active for some 20
months, and, as Belin pointed out, none of
them were named by current elected officials to
Florida office. 'We were named by former Gov-
ernor Bob Martinez and his group. Now, they
are out of office and we're probably not the fa-
vorite people of the current administration."
Still, the committee, made up of business-
men and leaders from throughout the state are
working on a plan to make Florida's tax struc-
ture more productive as well as more equitable.
Belin commented on the complexity of the
task before the committee by quipping, 'We
may find a cure for AIDS, but not for our
spreading bureaucracy." The speaker said he
was one of very few on the committee who was
not an attorney or connected with bureaucra-
cy.
HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT
The St. Joe Paper Company executive said
the reason for a growing unemployment rate in
Florida is because Florida has decided to dis-
courage smokestacks. 'We are encouraging a
:service economy these days, in the interest of
environmental protection," he said. He pointed
out that the largest percentage of the unem-
ployed all over the nation is made up of service
industry workers. '"You see bank presidents
and engineers walking the streets every day,"
he pointed out.
Belin predicted that the unemployment rate
would remain high for Florida as long as the
emphasis, on a service economy remained.


Belin said that 30 of the 50 states in the
nation were in financial trouble-including
Florida. The largest problems with Florida's
budget are in the areas of education and social
services. 'These two areas of state government
require from 70 to 75 percent of the state bud-
get," he said, pointing out that these were the
only places where significant reductions could
be made.
SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR
In short statements on what to look for in
the future, the speaker said Florida could look
for continued growth in population, predicting
the 16 million people by the year 2000. 'This
will require an overhaul of our tax system," he
said.
-He suggested possibly two constitutional
amendments would be placed on next year's
ballot. One would remove the homestead ex-
emption as it now stands, tax 50% of the first
$50,000 in valuation, and apply the regular
taxing schedule to all value over and above
$50,000. He said a question concerning state
income tax may be on the ballot, but said he
and four others can kill the matter. He didn't
say there were four others who would vote with
him in the matter. 'There's a lot of liberals on
that committee," he remarked.
He predicted that many or most of the sales
tax exemptions would be removed. "Basic
needs seem safe at the present time," he said.
He suggested the state become concerned
about privatization of government services. 'We
also need home rule. Let the counties, cities
and school boards operate their own business,"
he recommended. He even suggested that each
county set its own mill limits. The speaker also
suggested that the-state fund the entire-judicial
system.
In closing, Belin said, 'We need to be con-
cerned over the environment, but presently
over-concern is hurting us. We need to be con-
cerned about our economic situation, but we're
not going to suffer too much from cutbacks and
economies."
In essence the speaker said, the future is
going to be to tough, but with the proper steps
Florida can handle it.


Trick or


Treat
Hallowe'en will be different for the kids in Po~t. Jo t is
year. Members of the Port St. Joe Elementary School PTA and
the Port St. Joe Retail Merchants have pooled their resoui ces
and their efforts to provide the children a night out in an e ivi-
ronment which will provide for a maximum of safety.
Port St. Joe Police and the Gulf County Sheriffs Departn ent
have long been nervous about the prospect of hundreds of small
children walking the streets, trick or treating, after dark. 'It's
just inviting one of them to get hurt," Port St. Joe Police Chief,
Carl Richter said.
This year will be different. A night out, including a trick or
treat foray will be provided under controlled conditions. The ac-
tivity, which will begin this evening at 6:00, will give the chil en
an opportunity to parade downtown in their Hallowe'en os-
tumes, participate in a carnival atmosphere at the intersec on
of Fifth Street and Reid Avenue and to take a tour throu a
haunted house, which has been placed in the Fire Station by the
PTA parents.
The carnival operation will provide games, snow cones md
other goodie treats, as well as a maze and the haunted house .
In addition, merchants will be providing treats in front of var-
ious locations on Reid Avenue during the evening. All automo-
tive traffic will be cleared from the street, to allow the child n to
do their thing without the danger from passing automobiles.
Merchants from all over the city are moving their treat cen-
ters to Reid Avenue tonight for the special activities.
GATHER FOR PARADE AT 5:45
In preparation for the big Hallowe en parade, the children are
asked to gather at 5:45 in front of the Apalachicola Nort-iern
Railroad Company office building. They will also be given free
tickets to participate in the carnival booths, the maze and the
haunted house. I
Participating in the Trick or Treat activities on Reid Av ue
will be Dr. Tim Nelson, Linda's Restaurant, Hardee's, Cosin's
Department Store, Re-Sale Connection, Badcock Furniture,
Hedy's Florist, Sears, The Petal Shoppe, Hannon Insurance, C iti-
zens' Federal, Rich's IGA, Ard's Florist, Sand Dollar Restaurant,

Gulf County Commissioner, Al Ray, new anti-littering signs at Port St. Joe's
Special Projects director, Ralph Rish and boat basin at the west end of Fifth Street
Mayor Frank Pate place one of about 36 early this week.


Don't Even Think It!


Gulf County's anti-pollution activities
took on another educational process early
this week, as projects director, Ralph Rish
took delivery on 36 anti-litter signs to be
erected at gathering spots throughout the
county.
The signs were paid for with one of sever-
al state grants the county has been able to
secure to help with the considerable expense
of getting into recycling and mounting an ed-
ucational campaign against littering and for
the recycling operation.
The new signs were delivered this week
and the unit erected at the Fifth Street boat
basin here in Port St. Joe, was the first to be
erected. Rish said the signs will be placed


throughout the county in locations where an
accumulation of trash and garbage has his-
torically proven to be a problem.
"I'm real pleased with the way these signs
turned out. They won't clutter up the places
where they are put in order to discourage lit-
tering," Rish said.
The signs are made of wood, with the let-
tering sand-blasted on the face to give them
a permanent message. They are painted a
two-tone blue, with the lettering light blue
and the sign and post a darker blue.
Rish, who has resigned his position to
open an engineering office, said, 'This will be
my last project, but it's one I'm proud of. I
think it will be real effective in helping to
control litter throughout the county."


County

Hires New

Director

Meeting in a special session
Monday afternoon, the Gulf
County Commission took care of
some unfinished business, left
hanging after their regular ses-
sion last Tuesday.
Three important matters were
left pending, with decisions to be
made over the hiring of a new
special projects director to take
over the position being vacated by
Ralph Rish at the end of this
week. Another final decision was
made on awarding a construction
bid to build a new Road Depart-
ment equipment barn and repair
shop in Wewahitchka and to
make a decision on what to do
with a consultant firm's offer on
providing guidance on dealing
with the problems with the grow-
ing expense of solid waste opera-
tions.
McGEE HIRED
William McGee of Indian Pass
agreed to requirements set down
by the Commission in a confer-
ence Monday, and was hired as
the county's second projects di-
rector.
McGee will assume the duties
formerly filled by Ralph Rish, who
has been with the county for two
years, directing such operations
as getting into an approved recy-
cling program, as mandated by
the State of Florida; dealing with
the solid waste disposal arrange-
ments; serving as a liaison with
the state concerning such mat-
ters as seeing that proper proce-
dures are followed in closing the
county's two former landfill oper-
ations, operating monitoring wells
placed on the old landfill sites
and many other growing respon-
sibilities connected with following
state guidelines for proper solid

PAGE TWO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1991


Cut What?
Things are in a dither over in Tallahassee these days. With
the Governor and the Cabinet trying to reduce expenditures to
match income, there are all kinds of special interest groups
sniping from the sidelines, making a hard job harder.
We don't know what there is about the nature of cutting ex-
penditures which makes it a much harder task than increasing
expenditures. Whatever it is though, it is present and active in
Tallahassee.
Some of the pressure groups are losing credibility with the
public, it seems to us, with their demands, going to court, politi-
cal maneuvering, cutting deals and generally manipulating
things in order to keep their favorite activity funded as planned
back when we had an adequate income.
The public school lobby-with Betty Castor at the forefront-
has done the public school system far more damage with the
people than they have earned sympathies. Betty has been crying
crocodile tears about how education should be exempt from any
thoughts of cutting expenditures. The lobby group has turned
on the dire prediction machine about how much damage cutting
education dollars will do. If cutting of expenses has to be done, it
should be somewhere-anywhere-but education.
Of course, HRS has another thought to add to that idea. That
agency has been a prime target of cuts, also, and they are just
as insistent as the education people that the state will once
again sink under the ocean in a tide of malaria, encephalitis, yel-
low fever, small pox, etc., while fighting off a cloud of mosqui-
toes, if their budget is cut. They feel that cutting the education
budget rather than that of HRS is the safest thing to do.
When all the while, the ruling of DER, banning use of any ef-
fective insect spray, requiring retention ponds be built to catch
run-off water, allowing and encouraging prime mosquito breed-
ing sites and some of their other bureaucratic rules will probably
cause us more discomfort that any cut of a budget.
The law enforcement people of the state feel that their budget
cuts will result in run-away crime throughout the state. As if it
wasn't running away already
Let's not cut funds from law enforcement. Take it from some-
where else.
So, what is left to cut? Roads? Dog fly spraying? Governor's
salaries? Legislator's salaries?
Now, you're meddling.
This situation is why you read so much about tax increases.
We can't reduce expenditures anywhere, so we consider raising
taxes to compound our financial problems even more.


Facing Reality

At last, the Gulf County Commission is beginning to stare re-
ality down and come to grips with the fact that there is a need to
require citizens other than a handful of ad valorem tax payers to
pay for some of the services which are required of every individu-
al of the County.
You see, it isn't a matter of choice, any longer, whether or
not you wish to have your solid waste collected by a collection
specialist and properly disposed of. If it were still a matter of
choice, we could all do like we did 10 to 20 years ago. We could
all sit a 55-gallon barrel out in the back yard and pour our com-
bistible waste inside, set it on fire, and burn it up. In the mean-
time, the table scraps could be fed to the pig or chickens out by
the back fence and whatever was left over could be discretely
placed in an out-of-the-way place where it couldn't readily be
seen.
We could handle our waste problem.
Things aren't that way any longer. The vast majority of our
nation's citizens said we should quit burning trash in the back
yard, stop keeping hogs or chickens in heavily populated areas
and quit messing up the green vistas of our countryside with old
refrigerators, rusting cars, old tires and trash we can't bum or
the pigs won't eat.
We said our solid waste should be disposed of so as not to be
a health hazard to anyone; not just ad valorem tax payers, but
to everyone.
Now, we're talking big bucks If we place all our solid waste
in a place where it is a nuisance to NOBODY, then we all have a
stake in it. Which means to us, that we all should pay for the
privilege of not seeing, smelling or being associated in any man-
ner with the solid waste of the world.
We feel the County Commission has pussy-footed around
with this question long enough. We're glad to see them face up
to the problem. Now, we hope they carry it a step further and try
to arrive at a final plan which will cost all of us a minimum
amount of money, even if it means changing some of the things
we now do.

The Little Devils and Goblins Will Be Out Tonight


TRICK OR TREAT and all
that good stuff.
Tonight is the night the devils
and demons travel forth, looking
for some devilment to perform, or
some delicious treats to collect.
All the little kids get to be in-
volved in the once-a-year adven-
ture of roaming around after
dark, with the grown folks stand-
ing aside at a respectable dis-
tance while they ply their trade.
I don't live on a particularly
much traveled street in town, but
for about an hour or so, just after
dark tonight, the street will look
like a country downtown on a
Saturday night.
There will be a steady stream
of young goblins at the front door,
shrilling, 'Trick or Treati" We
don't get many of the "profession-
als" down on our street By "pro-
fessionals", I mean those bigger
kids who are out roaming the
town, taking advantage of the
unique celebration to fill a bag
with candy and other sweets.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE in
downtown Port St. Joe this eve-
ning is designed to take the place
of some of this nocturnal roaming
by the little ghouls, but I imagine
that tonight will be a double fea-
ture for a great number of kids.
Those of you who are under
40 years of age probably don't re-
member back when you could go
to the picture show [movies, to
you young whipper-snappers]
and see two feature movies, plus
a cartoon and a multi-part serial.
The serial served the same pur-
pose as today's soap operas on
television. They were designed to
keep you interested in coming


back, Saturday after Saturday, in-
order to see what was going to
happen next.
The kids will get a double fea-
ture tonight. They won't see the
serial, nor the cartoon, but they
will be involved in two feature at-
tractions which will keep them in-
volved in pleasurable activities for
a couple of hours.

I'VE TOLD YOU before about
the Hallowe'en celebrations when
I was a small boy, so I won't get
into that one again. Suffice it to
say, they were considerably differ-
ent then than they are now.


Kids then were hoping they
wouldn't be 'treated' because they
were more interested in 'tricking'.
Actually, the reason they were
out roaming around was to per-
form tricks. Most of them didn't
give their victims the opportunity
to buy off disaster by furnishing
treats.
Back in those days, kids
didn't need a costume to make
them look like little devils. Their
actions made one refer to them as
such, without the costume.
I remember one man who
lived down at the end of the
street, who had his peach tree
raided every year about the time
the fruit got ripe. He referred to
all us kids on the block as 'little
devils' all year round. We didn't
have to wait for Hallowe'en to get
the identification.
He thought the kids were
made for Hallowe'en; not Hal-
lowe'en for the kids.
I REMEMBER Hallowe'en of
last year. At our house, we had a


momma and a poppa come to our
house, all dressed up like pump-
kins and pigs, under the guise of
escorting their kids on a 'trick or
treat' foray. I'm sort of expecting
them to come back again this
year and if they do, I'm toying
with the idea of turning my hog
dog loose on them.
I didn't have the heart to last
year, because they seemed to be
having as much fun, out on their
adventure, as the kids were.
And, speaking of dogs, Hal-
lowe'en is fun for everyone in the
family, except the dogs. They
have problems with all those
spooks, ghosts, and screaming
banshees dashing up on the
porch, with their flashlights or
jack-o-lanterns shining, and
screaming out the time-honored
phrase, 'Trick or Treati"
The two poodles who live at
our house, are the nervous sort,
who bark at pine cones falling on
the roof; who bark at the cats
walking by the back door, who
bark at birds singing in the lo-


quat tree beside the back door;
who bark at other dogs barking,
half-way across town ....
I think the only reason our
dogs might actually like Hal-
lowe'en is that they have still an-
other excuse to barkl

I'M GOING TO HAVE the
treats handy tonight for those lit-
tle goblins who come by and
brave the water sprinklers going
in the front yard, the poison ivy
hanging from the porch eaves,
the black snake lying in the
planter beside the front door, or
the two miniature "attack" poo-
dles who will bark from the time
they cross the edge of the yard
until they are safely over in the
neighbor's territory.
You brave all this, kids, and
you will receive a morsel from a
selection of candies, fruits and
other goodies.
That is, so long as you don't
disturb my pre-going-to-bed, after
supper nap.

The Game of Baseball
Baseball season is finally over, thank goodness. I hate that
the Braves lost the World Series, but they did well and everyone
should be proud of them.
I am not a baseball fan. Little League was as far as my base-
ball career went. It was then that I discovered football, a game
that is a little more fast-moving and exciting than baseball.
Although I never watch a baseball game during the regular
season, I always try to catch the World Series. A game or two at
least. This year I caught all of the games in the series except one,
but I never saw the end of any of them. Baseball games on TV
put me to sleep.
It was refreshing, though, the times I did watch, to see all the
fans doing all the crazy things they do, the players going through
their usual unusual motions and it's always great to see the um-
pire call an important strike.
Baseball is a great game, but have you noticed that the kids
who go to games almost never watch the game. Those who do
.usually have a glove on, waiting to catch a foul ball or a home
run ball, if they are in position.
Speaking of foul balls, have you noticed that they never try to
retrieve a foul or home run ball? When I was playing little league
they would chase a person 10 miles to get the ball back. We usu-
ally carried only two or three and they cost a lot of money in
those days.
Another thing I noticed while watching the World Series this
year is that many of the players still don't know that they are on
television. Surely they don't or they wouldn't do some of the
things they do. If they must do some of the things they do, like
adjusting parts of their bodies. I think they should have a signal,
like holding up one finger, so the television cameras could focus
on something or someone else. Also, some of them chewv tobacco
and gum sometimes you can't tell which and they don't
make any bones about it
Seeing the outfielders reminded me of my little league days. I
used to stand out there and wonder if the next ball would come
to me; hoping it would and wouldn't at the same time. If it did,
would I catch it? If it didn't, I wondered what Joyce would be do-
ing tonight Minds tend to wander if not fully engaged.
I don't remember seeing an abundance of hot dog and drink
vendors in the stands during the games. Were they there and I
didn't see them or have they stopped this service at baseball
games, too? I thought all the people up North had to have several
glasses of beer just to get through a baseball game.
I couldn't help but notice that the baseball fans are just
about as crazy as some of the football fans. Some of them are.
Did ~you see the way some of them dressed and the way they
painted their bodies. I saw one man who had cut his hair, took
off his shirt and painted his body to the waist and had a hatchet
in his hand. He made Tonto look like a Sunday School teacher.
I'll bet he had a bad head the next morning and was out of a job
if his boss saw him.
You see, I know plenty about baseball, even though I don't
watch it a lot. I still wish the Atlanta Braves had beaten the Min-
nesota Vikings that last game


Hires
waste handling practices.
Rish also was responsible for
securing and properly expending
* the county's state funds received
for solid waste disposal and recy-
cling. The County got into the re-
cycling program required by the
state, after Rish was hired.
It will now be McGee's re-
sponsibility to keep the county in
compliance with state mandates
in these two important and sensi-
tive matters.
NEW BUILDING
The county's Road Depart-
ment headquarters building in
Wewahitchka has been in a bad
state of repair for some time. Hur-
ricane Kate almost finished off
the old building in 1985, but a
patch job put it back into use.
Recently, insurance companies
have refused to write policies on
the building, so it is now being re-
placed with a steel building, con-
taining four bays for making re-
pairs and space for an office for
the director of the Department.
Fisher Construction Compa-
ny of Wewahitchka was the low
bidder of three prospective firms
for the job. Fisher bid $101,196
to construct the steel building.
CONSULTANTS
With costs for collecting and
disposing of solid wastes becom-
ing too large for the county's tax
base to bear, a consulting firm
* had offered to make suggestions
as to how the Commission might
handle this sizeable item as a
user fee service at last week's
meeting.
David M. Griffith Associates

had offered to provide an in-
depth study of the problem and
some possible solutions to the
Commission for a fee not to ex-
ceed $8,500. On a suggestion by
Commissioner Al Ray, a decision
on Griffith's offer was delayed un-
til the Commissioners could think
aboutthe proposal for a few days.
Monday afternoon, the Board
decided to study the offer even
further, and appointed an in-
house committee made up of new
projects director, William McGee,
Administrative Assistant, Larry
Wells and former special projects
director, Ralph Rish to consider
all aspects of the offer and deter-
mine just what usable informa-
tion the county would receive for
its fee.


Energy Audit
Free energy audits are now
available to small businesses in
18 North Florida counties
through a new program at Florida
State University.
The program, administered
through the FSU Small Business
Development Center, designed to
help small businesses conserve
energy costs; At no charge, a spe-
cialist will visit a business, ana-
lyze existing energy costs and rec-
ommend ways to conserve
electricity, gas and fuel oil that
can burn into profits.
The new energy program at
FSU is funded by the Governor's
Energy Office.

Florida Sportsmen Can Now



Buy License Good for Lifetime


Forever more...that's like a
hundred zillion-skillin-katillion
years. And even if you live to be
that old, you still won't every
have to buy another Florida hunt-
ing or fishing license...if you get
one of the state's new lifetime li-
censes that is.
For the past couple of years
the Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission has studied the con-
cept of lifetime licenses, checked
with other states, consulted with
financial wizards and hammered
out all the details. Now the agen-
cy is ready to lay the new licenses
on the line.
"Lifetime licenses will go on
sale December I," said Susan
Wood, who heads the Commis-
sion's license section. "Prices
range from $125 for a lifetime
fishing license for a four-year-old
child to $1,000 for a lifetime
sportsman's license for an adult."
Five-year hunting and fishing
licenses also go on sale December
1. They will cost between $60 and
$270.
The sportsman's lifetime li-
cense is a bargain for people 64
years old only $12. It's cheaper
than the annual hunting license
($11) and the same as a fishing li-
cense ($12).
Although 65-year-olds are en-
titled to exemption certification
for most licenses and permits,
Ms. Wood said they may choose


Open House at
St Vincent Refuge
Project leader Donald J. Ko-
sin announces an open house is
scheduled for November 2 at the
Refuge's Visitor Center. It is in
conjunction with the Florida Sea-
food Festival that is held in Apa-
lachicola the first weekend in No-
vember. The Visitor Center is
located in the John B. Meyer Har-
bor Master Building at Scipio
Creek Mooring Basin, 479 Market
Street, Apalachicola. The public
is encouraged to attend.
The Visitor Center features
educational/interpretive exhibits
on St. Vincent Island, the Apa-
lachicola Bay and River System
and the area's marine resources.
A variety of exhibits can be
viewed including natural history
dioramas, interactive displays,
wall and three-dimensional maps,
interpretive panels and an aquar-
ium. The Center will be open to
the public Saturday from 1:00 to
5:00 p.m.

was all right to use a little ono-

fit the story but to stay away from

Like a good neighbor,
State Farm is there


to purchase a lifetime license to
help promote conservation. Ms.
Wood said people who are 65 or
older and have not already. ob-
tained exemption certificates can
purchase lifetime licenses as a
way of helping out the resource
and ensuring that the wildlife
they love and appreciate will be
here for future generations to en-
joy.
"Revenue from the sale of ex-
tended licenses will be deposited
into trust accounts," Ms. Wood


said. 'We will be able to spend
the interest from these accounts
to 'fund our programs, but it
would be illegal for us to touch
the principal."
The system was setup this
way to earn Florida a greater
share of federal wildlife restora-
tion funds (such as Dingell-
Johnson). Each state's share is
determined in part by the num-
ber of licenses sold. An annual li-
cense counts for one year only,


DCA After Money for


Affordable
The state Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) has
been coordinating the work of a
new plan expected to provide an
additional $65 million in federal
money administered by the state
to provide affordable housing for
Florida residents. The Compre-
hensive Housing Affordability
Strategy (CHAS), describes the
conditions of housing in the state
and outlines Florida's one and
five-year plans for increasing the
availability of affordable housing.
The CHAS has been distributed
to the County Clerk's office in
each of the state's 67 counties so
citizens can offer their comments
on the document.
DCA has been working on the
plan along with the state Depart-
ment of Health and Rehabilitative
Services and the Florida Housing
Finance Authority. In addition,
DCA officials recently met with
interested citizens in various
areas of the state to receive sug-
gestions on different components
of the plan. By the time the final
CHAS is submitted to the federal

Road Closed by
Bridge Work
Beginning October 31, a por-
tion of Forest Road 309 on the
Apalachicola National Forest will
be closed due to bridge recon-
struction. The bridge is located
,approximately 11.5 miles west
form the intersection of Forest
Road 309 and State Highway
267.
Reconstruction is scheduled
for the bridge across the East
Branch of the Sopchoppy River
on the Apalachicola National For-
est. Traffic will be routed around
the reconstruction project along
Forest Roads 311 and 353. Heavy
traffic will not be permitted to use
Forest Road 353 due to restricted
load limits on the bridge located
along this road.
The road will remain closed
until completion of the bridge re-
construction. The completion
date is projected for the end of
December provided favorable
weather conditions persist.

Tennessee
Fugitive Nabbed
In Gulf County
The Gulf County Sheriffs de-
partment apprehended a fugitive
from Tennessee last Thursday
morning, who had three felony
counts filed against him.
Johnnie T. Vowell, 35, was lo-
cated and arrested in the Over-
street area, after the Gulf County
department had been alerted that
Vowell was thought to be in the
area.
Sheriff Al Harrison said offi-
cers converged on the place
where Vowell was believed to be
living with a woman and her
brother. The house was sur-
rounded and a K-9 search dog
was sent into the house to locate
the fugitive.
Vowell is facing warrants for
aggravated burglary, aggravated
assault and possession of a
sawed-off shotgun in the Volun-
teer State.
He offered no resistance to
the arresting officers.

r CHILDREN'S HEALTH FORUM

Regular School

r Attendance Required

Steady I earning Is Key

..' '" "". By
^'v :* ,*:,
Regular school attendance is required for consistent steady
learning. A child who goes to school one day and is then out for sev-
eral days becomes discouraged and school attendance becomes less
and less attractive.
Teachers have the responsibility to teach, but parents have the
responsibility to get the child to school well rested, well fed and
ready to learn.
When a child is seriously ill, parents will want to remain with
the ill child. Most of the time, parents are not faced with serious ill-
nesses. For minor illnesses parents should plan ahead and have
some arrangement made whereby they would not need to miss work
just because the child can not go to school.
Occasionally a child who is not too fond of school will soon fig-
ure out if he says he is sick he will be allowed to go to grandmoth-
er's house and spend the day being coddled by grandmother. Not
that all of us wouldn't enjoy a day of coddling but after one or two
times being conned by the child, you soon put your foot down and
off to school he goes.
Acceptable reasons not to go to school:
1. Fever
2. Vomiting
3. Diarrhea
4. Chicken Pox
5. Pink Eye
6. Head Lice
7. Impetigo
8. Strep Throat (until on medicine for 24 hours)
Unacceptable reasons to be out of school:
1. Late waking up (better to arrive late than not at all)
2. Babysitting another child
3. Going fishing or hunting
4. Trouble with school work or children at school (this needs to
be worked on and gets worse if the child is continually absent)
5. Not finishing homework
6. Not having the "right" clothes (be sure the clothes are clean
and neat but because they are not the latest fashion is no excuse)
7. Missing the bus (take them any way)
8. Because it is a nice day.

Football season is a great
time to take a dip... to the living
room, family room or wherever
armchair athletes gather to watch
the game. Armed with chips and
vegetable dippers, they can dip,
dunk and munch as they please
without missing a bit of the ac-
tion.
This fall, fuel football fans
with two fast and far-from-ho-
hum dips. Great served hot or at
room temperature, both dips take
their garden-fresh flavor and spi-
cy jalapeno "heat" from versatile
picante sauce, in the cook's
choice of mild, medium or hot
Black Bean-Bacon Dip is a
crowd-pleasing blend of beans,
bacon, garlic, cream cheese and
picante sauce that's especially
good with vegetable dippers such
as carrots and bell peppers. Crab-

mix of cheese, veggies, picante
sauce and imitation crab meat
that tastes great with tortilla

Honey The Natural Sweetener


HV Elementary Costume Winners


Highland View Elementary
School held their annual Hallo-
ween Carnival and Parade this
past Saturday. Winners of the
parade are shown from left to
right. In the pre-school to kin-
dergarten division, Nicholas
Burrows as a scarecrow won


first place and Stephanie
Strayer as the Little Mermaid
was second place winner.
In the first through third
grade age group, Ashley Bur-
kett as a cave man came in
first and Donnie Brake as
Count Dracula placed second.


The fourth through sixth
grade division found a pair of
winners for first place, Carrie
and Alicia Gardiner portrayed
Indians. And in second place,
Rochelle Lee as a witch and
Joey Latta as a ninja tied for
second place.


Are you aware that it takes
one year for a bee colony to pro-
duce 60 to 100 pounds of honey?
And did you know that it is al-
most impossible for honey to
spoil because of its remarkable
keeping qualities, such as its
ability to retain moisture?
Have you ever used honey in
a recipe that required sugar?
Honey is an extremely useful
cooking ingredient. When people
run out of sugar, they may not re-
alize that in many cases, honey
can be a tasty and healthy substi-
tute.
This recipe is a scrumptious
dessert made with honey and def-
initely worth a try:

Charterboat Captain's License Being Offered


Experienced boaters Interest-
ed in acquiring a charterboat cap-
tain's license may want to enroll
in a five night, two day course
starting November 18 in Apalach-
icola before a proposed new user
fee goes into effect.
Sea School, the Southeast's
largest and most successful mari-
time license prep school, is offer-
ing this class in Apalachicola for
the special one-time price of
$395.


This may mean a total sav-
ings of more than $250, if the
Coast Guard is allowed to initiate
the newly proposed user fee on li-
censes.
One year's boating experi-
ence, 360 days in a lifetime on
any boat, is enough to qualify to
test for the license. This test in-
volves knowledge of nautical
rules of the road, first aid, weath-
er, navigation and similar nauti-
cal subjects.


Sea School can help ease the
way through this exam. The Apa-
lachicola course will be held five
evenings from 6:00 to 10:30 p.m.
and a weekend.
"Most of our students pass
the exam the first time," says Bob
Arnold, director of Sea School.
"But our guarantee is that we'll
stick with the student until he
has a license, and in fact we'll
stick with him throughout his li-

Red Ribbon Week
Last week, October 21-26,
was designated Red Ribbon Week
at our school. Teachers, staff and
students wore red ribbons and
each morning on our Wewa War-
rior 'IV station we saw a puppet
show or heard more about saying
no to drugs.
Over 300 Turned Out for the
First PTO Meeting
Last Tuesday night, the first
PTO meeting of the year was held.
We were privileged to hear Dr.
Jones of the Nemours Clinic of
Port St. Joe speak on "How to
know when to keep your child at
home." This is a great concern be-
cause if a child is absent too
much, it's for sure they are going
to get behind. We teachers have a
right to teach and the parents
must make sure the child is in
school unless he/she is sick. The
classrooms that had the highest
percentage of parents was Debbie
Baxley and Rhonda Pridgeon.
Both their classrooms will be
treated to a pizza party. Discus-
sion was also about the Fall Fes-
tival which will be held on Octo-
ber 31.
Wall of Fame Theme
The Wall of Fame theme for
this past week was having nice
manners in the lunchroom. Mem-
bers of the lunchroom staff chose
the recipients. The pictures of
each winner are displayed on a
bulletin board in the lunchroom
and then the color picture is sent
home as a keepsake for the senti-
mental box.
Star Student of the Week


Rock-A-Thon Set
for Saturday
The Gulf County Senior Citi-
zens invite the public to come out
and watch the senior citizens
rock the day away. They have
been obtaining pledges for the
last two months for the Rock-A-
Thon.
A bake sale is being planned
to coincide with the rock-a-thon.
The Senior Citizens are thankful
to all of the people that made
pledges to help with the program.
The place to see all this is the
Centennial Building, Allen Memo-
rial Way, Port St. Joe. The action
starts at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday,
November 2.


Third grader Theresa Jackson
is the student of the week. There-
sa is in the classroom of Mrs. Lin-
da Whitfield and she is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Jackson. Theresa's favorite sub-
ject in school is math, especially
addition and subtraction. When
she grows up, she would like to
be a lawyer because "some cases
would be interesting." Her favorite
TV shows are L.A. Law and the
Cosby Show.
Theresa couldn't think of a
favorite book. She just likes them
all. She would like to visit in New
Jersey because her aunt lives
there. Theresa admires her Aunt
Lula Jackson in Panama City. At
school, she likes to play with her
cousins, Brittany Turner, Adrien
Jackson, and classmate Kristin
Jones.
Theresa said this about her-
self, "I like sports, cartoons, read-
ing, and playing school. I like my
brother and I like art. I want to go
to college." Theresa finished the


sentence, "School is" by saying,
"School is a fantastic place to be
and you can learn a lot here." Yes
you can, especially when you're
interested as Theresa is.
Teachers Attend Workshop
Teachers Linda Tremain and
Sue Abreu attended a workshop
on Saturday, October 26. They
were studying ecosystems on a

Sober Men
An Open Letter to My Friends
and Neighbors of North Port St.
Joe:
GIVE US SOBER MEN
Give us sober men for leaders
Men who never take a
drink;
Men who love our God and
country,
And whose minds are dear
to think;
Men who strive to do their
duty
In the places that they fill;
Men who can't be bought with
money,
Nor with evils that would
* thrilL
Walter E. Isenhour
It is impossible for me to hold
my peace. My heart is broken
over the murder that happened
here and the beating that oc-
curred in Bay County a few
weeks ago. It is horrible that
young men's lives are lost, brok-
en, and interrupted because of
criminal activities.
I do hope that there are oth-
ers who feel as depressed and
ashamed as I do. How and why
have we allowed such malady to
afflict our young male popula-
tion? The community has to be
responsible to some extent.
How long can a community
the size of North Port St Joe af-
ford to lose nine young men a
week to crime? That is where we
are now. One is dead. One is in-
dicted for second degree murder.
One is in the hospital in critical
condition. Five are accused of ag-
gravated battery according to the
news media. The situations above
are all results of anti-social be-
havior.
Over the years, we have expe-
rienced isolated episodes of a bi-
zarre nature, but now the inci-
dence has reached the level of an
epidemic. How did we fall into
* such a sad state? I don't know
how long it took for us to reach
this point; however, I do have
some opinions about factors
which contributed to the prob-
lem.
Mistakes are made when
there is a lack of adequate infor-
mation and/or guidance. It seems
that these two factors are the un-
derlying causes of our problems.
Many young men are not made
aware of their moral obligations
to themselves and society. Too
much emphasis is placed on ac-
tivities that hinder positive devel-
opment socially and academical-
ly. Not enough time is devoted to
learning and refining skills neces-
sary for assuming the role of a
productive adult. And last but not
least, is the prevailing notion by
too many young men, that they
have no control over their exis-
tence this is the way it has to
be.
Every community should af-
ford a wholesome environment for
future generations. Therefore, it
should insure that there are spiri-
tual leaders who have a genuine
concern for its members. Special
care should be taken to choose
elected officials who will be re-
sponsive to the needs of citizens.
Civic and social organizations
should be required to offer servic-
es that enhance the overall quali-
ty of life in the community, or fl-
* nanclal support should be
withheld. Parents and elder citi-
zens should be concerned and
more actively involved in all
things that affect the lives of


station, military working dog ex-
hibition and the Air Force's tour-
ing entertainment show 'Tops in
Blue."
'We want to make this year's
air show the best it can be," said
Lt. Col. Brian Badger, project offi-
cer for the event 'We want to
show the people of Bay County
and the tri-states region how
much we appreciate their help
and support at Tyndall."
More than 20 aircraft that
make up the greatest Air Force in


young people in North Port St
Joe. Unfortunately, every area
mentioned above is grossly ne-
glected.
If you are not guilty of shirk-
ing your responsibility in either of
the above categories good. You
don't have anything to be upset
about However, if you have
shirked your duties, it is now
time to face reality. Positive ac-
tions need to be taken. Reverence
for life, law and order must be in-
stilled in our youth before all of
our sons are gone the way of the
wayward.
I do hope that in my life time
I will see my community (North
Port St. Joe) a small, clean town
with no drug problem, young peo-
ple speaking to each other in
standard English and the order of
the day being respect, care and
concern for self and others.
Give us sober men as fathers,
Sober teachers for our
schools;
Men with sound, exalted stan-
dards,
Far removed from those of
fools;
Men who love the Holy Bible
And obey it, day by day'
Give us men to lead us up-
ward-
Men who watch and fast


and pray.

City Cable TV
To the Editor
For the Citizens of Port St.
Joe:
First of all, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank
the people, who took the time to
respond to our questionnaire
about the City owning its own
cable television company.
Secondly, this letter is to as-
sure our citizens that payment
for such a cable company would
be made by the revenue the City
would receive from the service,
and WILL NOT be paid by tax


the world will be on display
throughout the day including
some of the same type that per-
formed during Operation Desert
Storm. Some of these aircraft in-
clude the B-l bomber, the E-3
Sentry Airborne Warning and
Control System, the F-16 Falcon,
the F-18 Hornet and many more.
At 3:00 p.m. the Army's para-
chute demonstration team, the
Golden Knights, will take to the
skies with an aerial demonstra-
tion sure to dazzle onlookers be-


money.
The City Commission has
done extensive investigation on
this matter and would not have
suggested this possibility to our
citizens without thorough re-
search.
We are not the first city to
consider owning a cable compa-
ny. Some cities currently in the
cable business are Springfield,
Milton, Niceville, just to name a
few. After expenses, they are
making a profit on this venture,
and the additional funds are put
into their city revenue to help pay
for city services. If anything, a
city owned cable company could
reduce taxes, or at least prevent
taxes from being raised.
On Tuesday evening, NoVerm-
ber 5th, there will be a meeting at
the City Hall. This will give every-
one an opportunity to express
their views, or to have any ques-
tions they might present an-
swered.
With all the "doom and
gloom" we see on television con-
cerning 40 percent of all local and
city governments in this country
being in the red, I feel that any-
thing which can make a city gov-
ernment money is well worth the
time, effort, and research put into
it
The survey we ran was 680
for and 20 against

Sharks Drop Close One to Braves


Cross Country Team


Wins Bay Invitational


Saturday, the Port St. Joe
High School Sharks cross country
team competed in the Bay County
Invitational Cross Country Meet
at Tyndall Air Force Base. The
Purple Pack competed against
Bay, Mosley, and Rutherford in
the meet
Port St. Joe captured the
team championship as they to-
taled 36 points. Bay finished sec-
ond with 52 points while Ruther-
ford placed third with 63 points
and Mosley was fourth with 81
points.
In the individual competition,
Scott Boykin placed first among
the 28 runners with a time of
19:18.
Lee Duren placed sixth with a
time of 20:49, Shannon Gant
placed seventh 21:00, Bryan
Earley was eighth 21:01, Steve
Alles 14th 21:51, Tyrus Rudd
placed 17th 22:15, and Keith
McDonald placed 23rd with a
time of 23:25.
"These times seem to be very
slow, but the course was about
3.25 miles instead of the stan-
dard 3.0 miles. Also, the wind
was blowing pretty hard and this
slowed us down a bit," stated
Scott Gowan, coach of the team.
"Overall, I was pleased with the
effort the boys gave. Our goal for
the week was to win the meet. We
accomplished this and extended
our winning streak over the Bay
County schools to 10 meets over
the past three years," said Gowan
encouragingly..
"Saturday, we will host the
second annual Shark Invitational
at St. Joseph Bay Country Club.
The met will begin at 10:30 and
will field between 8-10 schools.
Schools that have committed to
participate along with Port St. Joe
include district rivals Marianna,
Pensacola Catholic, Chipley, and
Quincy-Shanks. Also, Bay High,
Mosley, and Rutherford are
scheduled to attend," continued
Gowan.
For the people who have nev-
er attended a cross country meet,
the team would like to invite you
to attend. The meet figures to be
a very good one as five of the top
20 runners in the state among
Class AA schools are scheduled
to compete. This meet will also
give the district teams a chance
to race on the district course. The


Say No
to Drugs

The week of October 19-27
was Red Ribbon Week, nation-
wide. Students and teachers were
involved in a variety of activities
in observance of the campaign
which originated when Federal
Agent Enrique Camarena was
murdered by drug traffickers in
1985. The Red Ribbon became
the symbol of citizen intolerance
to the destruction of drugs.
All staff members were pro-
vided with a large red ribbon,
which they displayed prominently
on their classroom doors or in-
side their classrooms. All advisors
were also provided with informa-
tion on the history and purpose
of the campaign to share with
their students. Middle school stu-
dents participated in a variety of
activities with their advisory
groups. These activities included
videos, demonstrations by Officer
Otto Cook and Jake, his dog, of
the Gulf County Sheriffs Depart-
ment, and classroom presenta-
tions by Officer Chris Brum-
baugh. School Resource Officer.
The faculty and administra-
tion would like to thank all who
helped prepare materials, make
red bows, secure video material,
and make presentations. Without
your help, Red Ribbon Week
would not have been the success
it was at Port St. Joe High
School.


district teams will meet again in
Port St. Joe on November 16 as
Port St. Joe will host the District I
Championships.


Freshman Shannon Gant
placed seventh overall in the
Bay County Invitational.


In 1945, New York's State
health department conducted
one of the first and most rigor-
ously controlled research pro-
jects in medical history. Teams
of dentists examined the teeth
of thousands of school children
in the Hudson River cities of
Newburgh and Kingston which
both had fluoride-free water. In
both towns, they found the
same high incidence of tooth de-
cay. Then on May 2, 1945, a
small feeder machine was
turned on in Newburgh's filtra-
tion plant; from that moment on,
Newburgh's water contained 1.2
parts of fluoride per million.
Over the next 10 years, doc-
tors and dentists repeatedly
checked the children medically


The Atlanta Braves and the
Port St. Joe Sharks had some-
thing in common this past week.
Both had the advantage over
their opponents until the waning
moments of the contest, but lost
it to big plays which sent them
both down in defeat.
The Sharks had come from
behind to gain a one point advan-
tage over the Walton County
Braves Friday night, in the final
period, when the Braves struck in
the waning moments of the game
to take a 24-19 win home with
them.
The Brave's final touchdown,
which came with only three min-
utes remaining in the game on a
35-yard fly pattern pass reception
by DaVonn Fields shattered the
Shark hopes for their second win
of the season.
The Braves had drawn first
blood Friday, as they zipped
down the football field on their
very first possession of the ball,
to score after a 65 yard drive
highlighted by the running of De-
Vonn Fields and Rodney Ship-
man. Fields ripped off a 37 yard
gallop to the Shark 10, where
Shipman came around right end
for the final 10 yard gallop for the
first score of the game.
The Sharks came right back,
with a little over a minute re-
maining in the first stanza, tying
the score on a Jason Maxwell to
Tony Thomas pass play for a 19
yard scoring strike. A bad snap


Wewahitchka's Gators came
roaring back in the second half

and dentally. When the decade
ended, they had found only one
difference. In Newburgh, children
between six and 10 who had
been drinking fluoridated water
all their lives had 60 percent
fewer decayed, missing or filled
teeth than youngsters from the
same age group in Kingston.
Today, fluoridation is accept-
ed and endorsed as a major
public health measure in pre-
venting tooth decay by virtually
every scientific and health organ-
ization in the country.

from center kept the Sharks from
taking the lead with an extra
point kick.
Walton went into the half
time rest period with the lead,
however, as they rallied for two
touchdowns in the second period.
Fields, who carried most of
the offense for the Braves, scored
at the seven minute mark on an
eight yard gallop to put his team
up, 12-6. Then it appeared as if
the Sharks had shut down the
Brave machine when Davey
Young sacked quarterback Chris


with the Gators collecting their
second Division win for the sea-
son.
The Gators bulldozed the Yel-
low Jackets for 453 yards on the
ground, behind the hard running
of Marcus Vann and Marcus
Jones. Vann was virtually un-
stoppable with 265 yards on 26
carries and Jones had 150 on 23
jaunts.
The Gators were behind at
half time, 20-14, "But they really
got with it in the second half and
Just demolished the Jackets,"
coach BoBo Owens said.
The Gators ran up 20 first
downs in their winning effort.
Quarterback Denny McGlon
connected on three passes out of
seven attempts, for 88 more
yards offense, as the Gators
chalked up 503 big yards of of-
fense for their most productive
outing of the season.
The Gators are now 2-2 in
District play and 2-4 overall.

Friday night, the Gators will

that the clinic manages for six lo-
cal counties, including Gulf.
CARE is a private non-profit
organization to help families and

needs for treating chemical addic-

cause often a family member's

A news article this week tells
of a couple who faked the win-
ning Lotto number. At this writ-
ing they were both in Leon
County jail facing a possible five
year sentence and a $5,000 fine.
Every once in a while some-
body tries to cheat the Lotto. No-
body can do it with a faked card
because of the system's built-in
checks and balances. Only legis-
lators can misappropriate Lotto
funds. So why do mere citizens
even try?
I think it is because of a kind
of blindness to values' that we
learn from the world. Value-
blindness easily replaces value-
awareness. It even happens to de-
vout and successful Christians.
We probably all know people
who have good records of church
attendance, raise fine families,
and behave like perfect ladies and
gentlemen. That is until you
touch their value-blind spot.
That blind spot may deal with
your race. gender, ethnic origin,

your social station, the amount of
money you have, the state you
are from, or even the school you
attended. Sometimes the blind
spot extends into sexual and fi-
nancial malfeasance.
It's not only the televangelist
who has his shortcomings parad-
ed across the front pages who
have these problems. It's all of
us.
I know of a grandmother in a
city not far from here who was a
stellar volunteer in her church.
Every child loved her and she was
highly respected by her peers. Yet
an audit disclosed that she had
absconded with several thousand
dollars from her church, where
she served as the treasurer.
What is it that makes us be-
come blind to values? How can
we ignore the very things we hold
to be important in life?
I would like to suggest that
we have value-blindness because
we don't use the faith God has
given us. (You know that you

*Good news: the death rate
from motor vehicle accidents
has dropped 20 percent in the
last decade, according to the
National Safety Council.
*What causes car first? Acci-
dents, faulty wiring and/or leak-
ing fuel. Poor insulation can
cause a short and, eventually,
a fire. On fuel lines, the prob-
lem is often a poorly tightened
connection, or a leaking fuel
pump diaphragm. Be alert to
the odor of gas in your car.
*It's never wise to pass a truck
on the right, and worse yet to
drive side by side with the
truck. The driver of the truck
may not see a car alongside its
right front fender, and ray side-
swipe it.
*A knocking or pinging noise
under the hood when a car ac-
celerates is an indication of
too-low-octane gasoline or the
need for improved timing or oth-
er tune-up adjustment.

of cars that are stolen had
been left -just for a moment,

Landscaping Harm

This May Sound Strange but It's a Proven Reality


By Roy Lee Carter
County Extension Director
This may sound hard to be-
lieve, but some landscape im-
provement projects can end up
causing more harm than good.
We're talking about a particular
problem that's more likely to af-
fect you if your house is on an
uneven lot, or if you're planning
some major change, such as add-
ing a pool, building a deck or pat-
io, or even creating a special flow-
er bed, any work that will change
the soil level ar und plants.
Quite oftel. projects that in-
volve changing the land level
around your home, even the addi-
tion of what seems like a small
amount of soil fill, can have a dis-
astrous effect on established
trees and shrubs. When you add
fill around trees and shrubs, you
may block some or all of the air
and water they need to survive.
Sometimes symptoms appear
within or so. They may not show
up for several years. But, you can
just about bet that if you make a
significant change in the soil level
around a tree or shrub, it will be
seriously affected and probably
killed.
In this article I'll describe
some of the symptoms of soil fill
injury, and I'll offer some advice
on how to prevent such difficul-
ties. My information was provided
by Extension Urban Horticulture
Specialist Dr. Robert Black, of the


University of Florida's Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences.
The damage shows up first as
small, yellowed leaves, a lot of
dead twigs, and numerous suck-
ers along the main trunk. Some-
times, the very large branches on
a tree will die. The extent of the
injury depends on the type, age,
and condition of the tree or
shrub, the depth and type of fill,
the available drainage and some
other minor factors.
Obviously, the deeper the fill,
the more serious the problem will
be. But, the type of soil also is
important. For example, clay soil
causes the most injury. It's so
fine in texture that it almost com-
pletely shuts out air and water.
Just an inch or two of clay fill can
cause trouble. On the other hand,
you can usually add up to four
inches of sandy soil without caus-
ing root problems. Gravel fill is
the safest because it lets air and
water through freely.
You also need to think about
the kind of tree you have. You
can expect serious fill problems
with maples, oaks, and ever-
greens. On the other hand, such
trees as ash, locust, white elms
and sycamores are hardly both-
ered. Time is another critical fac-
tor. If you leave fill around a tree
for an extended period it isn't
likely that you'll be able to save it,
once injury symptoms appear.
The key to solving the problem is

to prevent damage from occurring
- by taking steps to insure that
the tree will have adequate air
and water after the fill is added.
We should point out that this
can be expensive. So, if you need
to add soil around a young tree,
one that's already in poor condi-
tion, or a tree of a species you
aren't particularly fond of, you're
probably better off replacing it af-
ter you've raised the land level.
But, if you're determined to
save the tree, you really need to
build what amounts to a custom
drain field around it, using agri-

You'll also need a brick or stone
well around the tree trunk. As we
said, this is fairly expensive and
complicated. Actually, it's a pro-
ject for a qualified professional.
However, if you want to tackle
this kind of job yourself, you
should seek expert advice before
you begin. Check with a local
nurseryman, or your county ex-
tension agent.

an Pass and St. Vincent National
Wildlife Refuge, and Dead Lakes
State Recreation Area.
De Hart's explorations not
only describe his personal experi-
ences, but offers the reader infor-
mation on what to see and do,
where to stay, and where to be-
gin. There is information on the
climate, history, names, address-
es, .and telephone numbers for
natural areas and chambers of
commerce, and services and
amenities for each adventure.
The 26 major adventures may
be a combination or singular ex-
perience of' camping, backpack-
ing, canoeing, fishing, diving, bi-
cycling, horseback riding, surfing,
bird-watching, and exploring. De
Hart says he may be the only hik-
er to have hiked all the trails of
the Florida Trail System. "For the
past 30 years I have criss-crossed
the Sunshine State to research
firsthand all the state's natural
beauty." In addition to Florida,
the book also includes adven-
tures on Georgia's Sea Islands
and Okefenokee Swamp.
Appendices in the book in-
clude a bibliography, a directory
of organizations for additional in-
formation, a glossary, and lists of
navigation charts, scuba diving
areas, and endangered or threat-
ened plant and animal species.
De Hart's interest in Florida's
natural environment began as a
pre-school child in Virginia when
his older brother read him John
La Gorce's "Florida: the Fountain
of Youth" from National Geo-
graphic. "All my wishes to explore
Florida became true when I re-
ceived a research grant from the
National Science Foundation and
I moved to Tallahassee 25 years
late," he says.

Halloween Safety


Halloween festivities have
provided enjoyment for young
and old for centuries. But, the
safety of this autumnal celebra-
tion has been questioned in re-
cent years. Being mindful of the
risks associated with Halloween
can help keep this event safe.
Public safety campaigns have
helped educate people about Hal-
loween safety, particularly the
need to scrutinize all treats that
children bring home from a night
of "trick-or-treating."
Unfortunately, nearly every
Halloween there are reports
somewhere in the U.S. of candy
or other edible treats being tam-
pered with or adulterated. Door-
to-door "trick-or-treating" is a
risky practice in today's world.
Parents and guardians are
strongly advised to have their


children forgo "trick-or-treating"
and attend a supervised Hallo-
ween event instead. Organized
events sponsored by civic organi-
zations, school groups, mer-
chants associations and recrea-
tion centers provide a controlled
and secure environment for chil-
dren.
But, Halloween safety consid-
erations shouldn't stop here. Par-
ents and guardians need to be
safety-conscious about. the types
of costumes that they allow their
children to wear. Some materials
could be flammable or pose other
safety hazards. Consumers are
advised to check garments for la-
bels indicating the material is
"fire resistant" or "flame retar-
dant."

fire-proof. Instead, such materials
will resist burning and extinguish
quickly when removed from the
source of ignition.
When selecting costumes,
consumers are advised to choose
clothing, masks, beards and wigs
that are properly sized. Loose-
fitting or unwieldy costumes can
impair a child's mobility or vision,
and also can increase the chance
that the child could unknowingly
touch the material to a source of
Ignition.
By observing a few precau-
tions, Halloween can remain a
safe and festive occasion for eve-
ryone.


"Amahl" matinee, at historic Trin-
ity Church, Gorrie Square, Apa-
lachicola. Admission is a modest
$2.00 or by membership. Since
this admission can not possibly
fund this caliber of music, the
Ilse Newell Fund is dependent on
interested patrons. For informa-
tion about memberships or busi-
ness sponsorships or for addi-


tonal information about any of
the concerts, contact Eugenia
Watkins at 1-670-8088.

tors" directed by Nancy Totman,

Gunter, each singing the title role
in one performance, and local vo-
calists Wesley Chesnut, Tom
