12/31/99 ARCHIVES BINDERY 1508 HWY 431-5 ALBERTVILLE AL 35950 USPS 518-880 FIFTY-FOURTH YEAR, NUMBER 42 -iHE INDUSTRY DEEP WATER PORT FINE PEOPLE SAFEST BEACHES IN FLORIDA PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456- THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1992 Cumbaa Nudged to Start Job The Gulf County Commission put the pressure on Cumbaa Construction Company of Blount- stown this past week, to get them started on a project at White City which has been hanging at loose ends for three months.. Gulf County had secured commitment of a share of the state's boating recreation funds to enlarge and improve the launch facilities at White City, but the funds were available only until .June 30 of this year. Cum- baa was the low bidder on the project back in March, but he hadn't started work, giving one excuse after-another; --.. On one occasion he had deliv- ered some concrete wall forms to the site which the engineers turned down as not meeting spec- ifications. Since that time, the job has been at a standstill with the clock running on the money to pay for the project. For the past month, the Com- mission has been after Cumbaa to get started with his project so he would complete it by the dead- line of June 30. Finally, last week, after Cum- baa still hadn't started construc- tion, the Commission threw down the gauntlet. Either Cumbaa get started by last Friday at noon, or forfeit the job. The picture shown above was taken at high noon Fri- day, showing Cumbaa had moved a shovel on the site, and several pre-poured sections of concrete walls. Friday afternoon, the county sent its engineer, Ralph Rish, to personally tell Cumbaa to be on the job by early Monday morning, or don't bother to come at all. Cumbaa was present and working Monday. If Cumbaa had not been at work Monday, the County had made arrangements with C.W. Roberts Construction Company to step in and finish the job. Cumbaa is to build a con- crete retaining wall around the area and widen the launch pad to be able to accommodate two boats at one time. He was also to deepen the, basin immediately be-._ hind the launch pad. Audito In Soul Redevelopment Coa Deloitte & Touche filed its annual audit report with the City Commission Tuesday night, out- lining the City's financial condi- tion and offering critiques about the manner in which the several financial matters of the communi- ty were handled by the Commis- sion and the staff at City Hall. The Auditors gave the City a good report, commenting on the sound financial condition of the City of Port St. Joe and making remarks about the manner in which it was handling its surplus funds, in interest bearing ac- counts. Several minor criticisms were offered by the auditors, such as failure of City engineers, Alvarez, Lehman, to file statements promptly and charged the City to confer with Alvarez, Lehman about this matter. The City was also criticized for not having a value limit for capitalization of certain items. NEW CONTRACT The Commission agreed to a new garbage incineration contract with Argus Services of Panama City, at a rate of $28.00 per ton. Mayor Frank Pate said he had been conferring with Argus' management since the letter was written and he had received a ver- bal agreement at $27.00 a ton. Pate was authorized to ratify the contract at the $27.00 figure. The contract would be in ef- fect until December 31, 1992. Meanwhile, the City is reduc- ,ing, drastically, the amount of garbage which Is hauled to the in- cinerator to be burned. ._ WANT INPUT In light of a new' business to rs Report City ad Condition mmittee Wants to View New Plans In District be built at the comer of First Street and Highway 98, the Downtown Redevelopment Com- mittee asked that they might be allowed to examine any plans for new buildings to be built within the boundaries of their anticipat- ed development.. 'We want to see if any new buildings meet the tentative plans for development before it is built," chairman Wayne Taylor said. Mayor Pate said, "They will have no power affecting the deci- sion to issue building permits, but we should allow them to see if the buildings comply with the overall plans for redevelopment. They will have power only to re- view arid make recommendations at this time." The Board agreed to give the Redevelopment Committee an op- (See AUDITORS on Page 3) 2 Men Charge Deputy With a Pick-up Truck A man fleeing' a marijuana- growing site north of Wewahitch- ka tried to run over a Deputy Sheriff who was attempting to make an arrest Sunday after- noon, according to Sheriff Al Har- rison. The Sheriff said James Ho- ward Ward was flagged down as he left the marijuana plot by a Deputy stepping into the dirt road and showing his badge as identification. "Ward stepped on the gas about 20 feet from the Deputy, forcing him to Jump into the grass on the side of the road to avoid being struck by the pick- up," Sheriff Harrison said. The Deputy had the marijua- na plot staked out in the hopes the ones who owned it would ap- pear. Late Sunday afternoon, Ward and William H. McDaniell, both of Wewahitchka drove up in a pick-up truck and tended the plot. As they left, the Deputy at- tempted to stop them. .Passengers -in th6 pick-up along with Ward and McDaniel, were two young juveniles under the age of 12. Sheriff Harrison said James Howard Ward, 34, is charged with attempted murder with a motor vehicle, possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, fleeing a law enforce- ment officer, cultivation and pos- session of marijuana. William H. McDaniell, 33, is charged with possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, cul- tivation of the illegal substance and possession of a firearm dur- ing a felony. The two men also face possi- ble charges of child abuse and endangerment of a child's life. "It's bad enough for these men to be involved in activities such as this, but that's going a little too far when they take chil- dren along to witness their break- ing the law in such a mannerZ Sheriff Harrison said:- Raffields' Takes State of Florida to Court Raffield Fisheries of Port St. Joe has filed a suit in federal court against the Flor- ida Department of Natural Resources, the Marine Patrol and former director Elton Gissendanner, charging that Raffield's civil rights had been violated by the state agen- cies. The violation occurred in 1986 when the Marine Patrol arrested Raffield employ- ees and manager Gene Raffield for alleged violation of a Florida law which had been on the books for 30 years but never en- forced. The law was interpreted by the Ma- rine Patrol as having been broken even though Raffield and his attorneys contend- ed it had not and ultimately defeated the DNR claim in court. SUIT FILED IN EARLY JUNE The story was broken about Raffield's suit by the Tampa Tribune, which revealed it was filed in federal court early this month. The suit does not ask for any spe- cific amount, but Gene Raffield, manager of the local firm, said they are trying to recov- er the, tremendous expense the firm was forced spend in defense of the charges. 'We were exonerated of the charges filed against us and have recently been fur- nished information claiming the state har- rassed us and were out to get me because of my stand as a member of the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission," Gene Raf- field said. INCRIMINATING LETTER A letter, written by Gissendanner's suc- cessor on the Department of Natural Re- sources, Tom Gardner, to Attorney General Bob Butterworth, indicating Raffield had been set up by a constant surveillance on his boats and business by the Marine Pa- trol, has been filed as evidence of the na- ture of the case against Raffield. Butterworth said he never received the letter and it does not bear the signature of Gardner, but does contain his typed name. The letter said, in part, "The Marine, Pa- trol was directed to keep a close watch on Mr. Raffield's fishing operation. His boats weren't to leave the dock without an escort, either by air or water. ." Raffield was charged with catching 85,500 pounds of redflsh, legally, off the Louisiana coast, with a purse seine, and trucking them to their Port St. Joe head- quarters. Florida law forbids a person from having fish in their possession which had been caught in a purse seine. The law was very.seldom enforced. FIRST IN A SERIES OF ACTIONS Raffield's suit has been accepted by the federal courts and is the first in a series of moves by the local firm to recover some of their tremendous expense which has con- tinued since 1986. An editorial in the Tampa Tribune on June 11, when the story was first revealed, said : "Commercial fisherman Gene Raffield made a lot of enemies when he served on the state Marine Fisheries Commission, which formulated florida's salt water fish- ing rules." "He aggressively defended his industry, opposing bag limits that conservationists and biologists thought necessary to save coastal fisheries. But whatever his fail- ings as a commissioner, Raffield did not deserve this kind of treatment." That is exactly what Raffield hopes to prove in court with his suit. Helen Ramsey Ramsey Seeking School Board Seat, District 3 Helen Ramsey has an- nounced her candidacy for Gulf County School Board, District 3. The candidate was the wife of the ,late Paul E.

The candidate asks your support and vote in the Septem- ber 1 Democratic Primary. State CofC Officer Speaks at Breakfast Mark Pritchett, an officer with the Florida State Chamber of Commerce was the guest speaker at the quarterly breakfast meet- ing of the Chamber membership. Pritchett, who heads up the State Chamber's committee work- ing with the "Blueprint 2,000" a new concept of local control and responsibility for the state's school systems, outlined the new program and told of some of the educational improvements ex- pected from the program. 'We need a well prepared work force for the next century and we're not getting it now, from our schools," Pritchett said. The goal of the new educa- tional concept is quality educa- tion which teaches students to think and which will set and achieve high standards from the students. 'We have found that students memorize well, but they don't have thinking skills. The aim of this new concept is to teach them to think and plan," the speaker said. Mark Pritchett of the Florida Chamber of Commerce explains their role in promoting "Blueprint, 2,000". "Florida is woefully behind," Pritchett said. "We have graduat- ing students who are reading and doing math on a 7th grade level. We're number 28 in a list of 30 states, in math skills. We're only above Guam, the Virgin Islands, Washington, D. C. and Arkansas. The rest are all above us in ac- complishment," the speaker said. The new "Blueprint 2.000" would put the responsibility on the local school district to reach certain standards. Local schools would be in charge of their own (See C OF C on Page 3) First Degree Murder Charge Filed In Incineration Death Warrants were issued Monday on a charge of first degree murder against David Bryant, 53, of 225 Church Street, Wewa- hitchka, in the gasoline-fueled fire which caused the death of his brother, Johnny Bryant, 47, of Stone Mill Creek. David Bryant allegedly doused his brother with a jar of gasoline and torched the flammable liquid with a cigarette lighter as Johnny Bryant lunged at him, setting them both on fire. David Bryant was still in a Panama City hospital, Tuesday, recovering from his bums suffered in the altercation between the two, which was said to have stemmed from a family argument over a loan of $20,000. David Bryant went to his brother's home in Stone Mill Creek two weeks ago and confronted his brother, torching him as a result of the confrontation. DEATH BRINGS MURDER CHARGE Johnny Bryant died in the University of South Alabama Med- ical Center in Mobile, Ala., last Wednesday night. Charges, which Sheriff Harrison had delayed placing against David Bryant, until events in the case took a definite direction, were fi- nally filed in the court of County Judge David Taunton, who is- sued the warrants Monday. He now faces a charge of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. The lesser charges stem from the fact that Johnny Bryant's wife, Barbara and their two sons were also in the home and were endangered by the altercation. Sheriff Harrison said he has been in touch with Bryant's at- torney, John Daniell, of Panama City, who has indicated he would be released from the hospital yesterday [Wednesday] and appear in Gulf County Court for his first appearance hearing.

Making plans, spending money, getting equipped and get- ting information about just what we can do to conserve space used for solid waste and re-use what was formerly tossed aside and never used again. We wonder if any other counties the size of Gulf has been in- terested enough in how many ways old worn-out tires can be utilized without taking up space in valuable property, burying them in a landfill. Gulf County has found out that old tires can be used to re- surface roads with a surface which is safer in inclement weather to drive on, last longer and easier on your car to ride on. They cost a little more, but the benefits are worth it. What has been a terrible waste of a bulky product can be a valuable asset in raw material, even If it does cost a little money. Right now, Gulf County has a small mountain of ground up tires at the landfill site, just sitting there waiting to have some- thing done with them. It cost some $7,000 to have the tires ground, which the law says you must do before they can even be buried in a landfill. All that expense in preparation! All that work just buried to rot if a way to utilize it had not been found. The County, with a little urging from the City of Port St. Joe, is also putting its recycle money to work to reclaim more former trash. Rather than pay good money to burn it or bury it, we pay a little less money to put it to use once more. Paper, cardboard, tree limbs, scrap lumber, yard trimmings ... all being reclaimed and used over again, instead of being buried in some landfill. That's quite a savings. Consider, for instance, the County is currently being forced to spend over $100,000 just to close the Buckhorn landfill site to DER's satisfaction. They face a like bill for closing the present landfill site when it is full. Who knows how much expense will be added between now and the time the landfill sites are finally closed and sealed. Requirements are to put in escrow some $40,000 to close any landfill now currently in use. That makes solid waste dispo- sal costly. In some cases it is more expensive to bury it than it was to make it into a product in the first place. Our County may not be very sophisticated and maybe it is just a little bit "country" but thank goodness it is considering the balance sheet on whether it is cost effective now to begin to re- claim former waste products rather than find out its disposal would bankrupt a Rockefeller. .. or a Perot. None of the Above The House of Representatives killed the balanced budget amendment in a vote last Wednesday. The vote was 280 in favor and 153 against. A real land-slide of support for killing the bill. You see, the House of Representatives had to support the bill by a two-thirds majority for it to pass. Of course, it took only a ma- jority of the House vote to run up a $4-trillion debt for our na- tion. One member of the House of Representatives was shown on .a sound bite on TV making a plea for killing the bill. He pleaded eloquently for the "opportunity to be responsible Congressmen and do what needed to be done for the nation." The Representative raved and ranted, and said in effect, "Are we so weak we can't do what has to be done? Do we need the Constitution to force us to take the proper action in fiscal mat- ters? Can't we act like adult men with a responsibility?" That same $4-trillion debt gives us a resounding "NO" as an answer, Congressman. Rep. Chandler of Washington, hit the nail on the head when he remarked, "If you think the American people are mad now, just defeat this one ray of hope we have now for finally reducing the federal deficit and you will see a real revolt." Of course the Democratic leadership made pontifical promis- es about their budget balancing plan which they are getting ready to put into effect [after 30 years of bleeding red ink with the nation urging restraint]. House Majority Leader Richard Ge- phardt of Missouri said the vote showed that most members of Congress are "willing to take extraordinary measures to get the deficit under control." Bull! Congress is interested in business as usual in the hopes it will buy the Democrats some more votes. The phenomenon of Ross Perot should convince Congress of just how mad the American people are. Appearances are they will go to the polls in November and mark their ballots, "None of the above!" d* fo cardboard.

Li 7 9 | Hunker Down with Kes I Dad Wouldn't Have Worn It Anyhow! Kesley Colbert Dear Dad, Father's Day is coming up this weekend down here. 'Course, I don't know why I'm reminding you. Best I can recollect you neva. er got too excited about it when'' you were here. You ought to see how they've commercialized it now, Dad. I know you wouldn't like it. They started running ads about "Father's Day Specials" a month ago. You are made to feel guilty if you haven't rushed out and bought your Dad a shirt or a tie or a garage door opener or an electric razor or a table saw or an all expense paid vacation to an Alabama state park or a ........... well, you get the idea, Dad. I got to watching all this you're-not-a-proper-son-if-you- haven't-gotten-your-Dad's-gift-at- R.T. Poteet's Emporium and it set me to thinking...... Dad, I don't ever remember buying you any- thing for Father's Day. Maybe, they didn't have Father's Day back then. I really can't remem- ber. I know if they did you didn't put much stock in it. I think, maybe, we were so busy trying to make money just to meet the bills that we didn't have any extra for ties and garage door openers and Alabama state park vacations. Best I remember, if it was the third Sunday in June, we wouldn't be studying on no gifts for you. We'd rush home from church, wolf down that chicken wing and start in on the. "Hurry up. Dad, hit us some grounders." We'd play baseball all day. I can still remember you throwing that ball straight up 'til it went plumb out of sight, we'd have a heck of a time trying to catch that thing as it reappeared in the sky and gained so much speed as it plummeted cearthward. We'd miss it more times than we'd catch ,it.. Then we'd all fall out on the ground, laughing. "Throw it again, Dad, throw it again. I'll catch it this time" Do you remember, Dad? I don't think back in those days we ever gave you anything. I believe you did all the giving. Dad, I'll tell you something if you promise not to spread it around. I know this is not normal but I don't like Father's Day. It just feels funny to me. I know I've got a 16-year-old son and I know that you've been gone since 1979 but listen, you are still the father here. I can't be the daddy. That's yourjob. I watch Josh hit that low out- side pitch the other way, take the good turn at first and when the outfielder bobbles it, roar into second with a head first slide and I think, what am I doing up here in the bleachers where my father ought to be? Dad, I'm the guy that's suppose to be playing. That's the role that I am comfort- able with. It's the one I like. I want to be the young man receiving the advice. I don't know enough to be the old man giving it out. I miss you, Dad. And the Lord knows most days down here I need you. It's tougher being the father than it looks. You made it look so easy. And danged if you didn't always have the right an- swer. The longer I live, the more I am amazed at how you did it. Dad, we need to get this thing straightened out I'm suppose to be sliding head first into second. You get up in the stands where you belong. I'm tired of hitting the ground balls. I never have been able to throw it so high that it goes out of sight....... It's funny the way the world never stops. 'Cause Dad, I've found myself a hundred times telling the boys something you told me. You've had a lot more in- fluence on them than I bet you've ever realized. And you kicked in with a few genes too. You ought to see that quiet stubborn streak in Jesse. Everybody in the family knows where that came from. Dad, as usual, I need a favor. I don't exactly know how this guardian angel thing works. But I know everybody has one. Dad, Josh got his driver's license a while back. It worries me to death, pardon my expression, every time he leaves the house. He doesn't know as much about driving as he thinks he does. Would you mind speaking to Josh's angel, just remind him of his special assignment with a very special person. And for good- ness sakes. don't let him go to sleep! Dad, thanks for still being there. I'm sorry for all those years I didn't get you anything. I'll tell you something I think you al- ready know. This Father's Day. ten hundred million dollars can't buy me what I want. I love you, Kesley First Baptist Schedules VBS June 20 First Baptist Church will launch a one-week "Fantastic Journey" Saturday, June 20, with registration from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. for its annual Vacation Bible School. The school will continue from 6:00 until 8:30 p.m., Monday. through Friday, June 22-26, at the church, 102 Third Street, Port St. Joe. Exciting opportunities await everyone of the community, age three years old to adult A nur- sery will be provided. "Fantastic Journey" will be celebrated by the church and will follow a nautical theme. In addi- tion to Bible study, mission edu- cation, and interesting learning activities, many special events have been included. Fathers...They Don't Hardly Get Any Respect, Even FATHER'S ARE neglected and you can say that children are prejudiced toward the sexes, when it comes to observing Fa- ther's Day and Mother's Day. Mothers get the bulk of atten- tion on these special days and for whatever reason, the general pub- lic thinks they deserve it. But, consider with me if you will if this universal public opin- ion is actually the correct one or not. Should fathers receive less attention than mothers on their special day? Should Father's Day follow Mother's Day by more than a month, giving the impression that the only reason we are hon- oring father is to salve the old man's ego? Should father get more than shirts or ties for Fa- ther's Day ... or maybe a card . . maybe even the card given be- cause you cared enough to give the very best? You know, the one which was hand drawn by your six-year-old grandson. There's a lot to this thing of observing Father's Day- which doesn't meet the eye, nor does it stand up against the scrutiny of fair treatment for us men; fathers of our nation and its inhabitants. MOTHER'S DAY WAS like a very special day around our house and I suppose it was around yours, too. Frenchie got all sorts of attention, boxes of candy, the kids came by to wish her a happy Mother's Day and lavished gifts on her. All of this made her feel like something spe- cial. Just like she had those chil- dren all by her lonesome. Well, I'm here to tell you, she had help! Fathers are taken entirely too much for granted. The third Sun- day in June will roll around and old dad will get a slap on the back from a big brute of a son he can hardly stand up under the slap of and he's expected to grin like a mule eating briars and feel good about it. Well, in most instances that slap on the back just plain hurt! A dad of my age would appreciate more a little help in getting out of a chair rather than a blow which will put him in one. I NOTICE THE SLIGHT to- ward fathers on Father's Day more than most men do. I see the empty pages in this wonderful newspaper which should be ad- vertising goodies to give dear old dad. It was there for mother- why not father? On Mother's Day, in our church, the staff made a big pro- duction out of giving every moth- er present a special long- stemmed carnation in honor of her status as a mother. What will dad get? Maybe a notice in the bulletin. Where's our flower? It took up more time in the service giving out flowers to mothers than it did to announce the opportunities of the week, or take the offering, or sing the hymns. You would have thought mothers were something special. The restaurants in town were full to overflowing on that partic- ular day, taking mother out to lunch, just so she wouldn't have to cook dinner.

It was a long time ago but it seems like it was just yesterday. It started in Pensacola, wound its way to Knoxville, Tennessee, back to Pensacola, on to Brewton, Alabama, then to Port St. Joe. And it didn't end there. Later we moved to Memphis and, still later, from there to Nashville where in desperation and me on the verge of a nervous breakdown, we moved back to Port St. Joe. And here we are and I hope we will stay! But it was those days in Knoxville, shortly after we were mar- ried, that I was reminded of while reading the paper this morning and saw the ad for the wading pool. We were in Knoxville on a new and promising job when we bought our first wading pool for our son. Our son Was three years old and while there our daughter was born. Like most things with young marrieds, my new job didn't work out the way we had planned. I had five different jobs while in Knox- ville and we lived in four different places; two apartments and two houses. Moving, however, was no real big thing back then because we didn't have that much to move. Money was tight back then, but we thought we were rich. But we were trying to adjust to a new marriage, a new job(s), a new town and new friends. Looking back, it was tough, those days of new adventure in Knoxville, But it didn't matter because we were tough, my wife, new family and I. And back then all of us were young. It was while we lived on Bradshaw Garden Drive tlSat our oldskt son learned to ride a bicycle and lost his fears of the dark and thunderstorms. It was a long driveway from the street to the ho.tse that he and I traveled until finally, one day, he took off on his own and rode all the way to the house, thinking I was still there holding the back of the bicycle. I shall never forget the look on his face when he looked back and saw me standing at the other end of the drive. He and I also spent a lot of time sitting in the dark he in my lap at first and later walking short distances by himself and sit- ting by the window during thunderstorms. When he finally learned there was nothing to fear, he would walk, at night, by himself, to his friend's "house next door and would often sit by the window alone during thunderstorms. He was a smart lad and learned fast. It was while we lived on Laura Lynn Circle that our daughter was conceived, and we had to look for a larger place to live. Our apartment there was a two bedroom and we needed a three bed- room. We found o on a quiet street with lots of woods for children ,to play in and school close by. It was on Buckthorn Drive and the house had a small bedroom that was just the right size for a nur- sery for our soon to be there daughter. It was while we were living there that financial disaster struck. I lost my job and it took all we could do to pay the rent, buy groceries and pay the balance of the doctor and hospital bills for the delivery of our daughter. If I remember right, the total bill was about $500, a hefty sum in those days. I found another job and we were both working, but at about half of what we were used to making. We did everything to cut cor- ners. Dinner out was a rare exception, as was going out with friends. We shopped for bargains at grocery stores and gas stations and bought few toys for the kids. I also tried in vain, I will add - to stop smoking and started working out each day to relieve some of the tension, instead of drinking beer with the boys at the .Dutch Tavern. . "'We tightened our belts and did what had to be done, which in- cluded moving to a smaller, more economical house that featured cheaper rent and no air conditioning. We were forced to buy a win- dow unit later, one with rio money down and 36 months to pay. It didn't do much during the day, but at night it kept us wonderfully cool. Our economic distress continued and a few months later we moved back to Pensacola in search of a new job and a new begin- ning. But those distressful days in Knoxville and later in Pensacola and Brewton remain priceless in my memory. Our family was clos- er, our determination more pronounced as our instinct to survive was honed to.a fine edge. Looking back, I now realize that those days were the finest, most enjoyable of my life and probably that of my family because we were closer then than we have ever been. It was a lesson in liv- ing and maturing for all of us. It was a great adventure and I shall cherish the memories al- ways, but we only made it because it happened back when we were young.

The local district would set goals locally and outline the rate of progress expected of their stu- dents. 'The ideal is to increase the level of graduates from that of 7th graders, to- 12th graders," Pritchett said. Local decisions would be made as to discipline, direction of ,courses. Preparation for college and for vocational education would call for a two-tier direction of education on the local level. '"We look for this program to take five to ten years to imple- ment fully. In the meantime local districts would report their progress regularly and give rea- sons why they 'might not be achieving the goal with their stu- dents," the speaker said. A lively question and answer period followed the speaker's re- marks which covered everything from education by choice to voca- tional education. An education committee has been appointed by the local Chamber of Commerce to work with the Gulf County School Board to make suggestions and recommendations. One of the rec- ommendations they are expected to make in. adopting the "Blue- print 2,000" plan is that the school system provide alternative education for students who are a chronic disturbance to classroom activities. gignts ilu u Lo uu p.m. This class can teach one to im- prove driving skills and become a safer driver or teach non-drivers. to drive.

[I~4~ [I~~~~~~II~~3 THE STAR. PORT ST. JOE. FL THURSDAY, JUNE 18,1992 Final Plans for Duncan-Roberts Eating Flowers Can Be Healthy! For the healthiest, and most colorful salads, sandwiches and other recipes, add flowers! Edible blossoms make the simplest dishes a treat for the eye and the palate. Blossoms that are pretty and good to eat include violets, pansies, marigolds, squash blos- soms, dandelions, and particular- ly nasturtiums Nasturtiums are the most popular, and perhaps, tastiest of the edible flowers. They have a peppery crispness, like water- cress. Their red, orange and gold blossoms are high in vitamin C, and they are said to contain a penicillin-like ingredient that helps ward off infections. How to grow 'em Grow nasturtiums from seed. They don't transplant well. Grow them outdoors in full sun, and provide netting or other support for the vines to climb. In pots, also in sun, allow them to cas- cade like hanging gardens. Feed them every two weeks with water- soluble fertilizer, applied to the roots and leaves. How to use 'em Use nasturtiums fresh. Flow- ers, leaves and stems are all edi- ble. In salads, a plain oil and vin- egar dressing allows their distinct flavor to come through. For a dramatic and delicious omelet, add a pinch each of pi- miento, parsley, garlic and a couple of chopped nasturtiums. Add 'butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Nasturtiums are a marvelous accent with meat or seafood dishes, in herb vinegars, wherev- er a touch of color or a little zing are called for. When growing anything to eat, avoid using harsh chemical pesticides or herbicides. When gathering flowers or other plants for consumption, make sure you know how they've been grown. And if in doubt, don't eat it! Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Duncan have announced the final plans for the wedding of their daughter, Carrie Elizabeth to James B. Rob- erts.

A safe summer cookout or picnic requires more than pack- ing the cooler and cleaning the grill. Summer outings can be ruined if safe food handling and preparation techniques aren't ob- served. The U.S. Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDS) reports that more than 4 million Americans suffer from food poisoning each year. Various food products are quick to spoil and could lead to food poisoning when de- refrigerated for minimal time. Food-borne bacteria are undetect- able by sight, smell or taste and thrive in foods that are left out in temperatures ranging from 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Dairy products, eggs, poultry, meat and fish require extra care. If these and other foods are not properly refrigerated or heated, they can harbor dangerous bacte- ria. These bacteria could be espe- cially harmful for children, sen- iors, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses. Consumers should be mind- ful of food safety when shopping for groceries and when preparing, grilling, eating and storing foods. Consumers can safeguard their health by observing these food safety tips: ea Pick up meat and poultry items last when shopping so they stay cold. Keep foods cold, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit or hot, above 150 degrees Fahrenheit. ae Thaw foods in a refrigera- tor not at room temperature - to prevent bacteria frommultiply- ing. All foods should be cooked promptly after thawing. *' Before handling or prepar- ing food, use soap and water to thoroughly clean hands, utensils and work areas. c3 Keep cooked foods separ- ate from raw foods. Cross- contamination of foods could oc- cur it ib.,rtt';ria- harboring raw food comes in contact with cooked foods. -a Grill all foods thoroughly, making sure large cuts of meat have been cooked completely. '5 Avoid interrupted cooking. Many people partially cook foods indoors and then finish them on the grill. However, partial cooking is safe only if the food is moved immediately from an oven to a hot grill. Preparing foods in advance could compound problems result- ing from undercooking and other food-handling mistakes. Food preparation was a factor in one- third of food-related illnesses, ac- cording to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Io Store leftovers in separate containers and refrigerate. GO AHEAD...

Understanding Gravestone Art Visiting a cemetery doesn't have to be a sad occasion. In fact, strolling through your local ceme- tery is a peaceful way to enjoy both the natural beauty of the outdoors and the artistry used in creating gravestones and other monuments. An afternoon at the cemetery also can be educational. Many personal memorials hold interest- ing information about the lives of the individuals and families they commemorate...and often the his- tory of the community as well. For example, monument R.S.D.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE STAR shapes often reflect the popular architecture style of the time or the region, while family names can provide information about a person's ancestry. Of course, many inscriptions offer insight into the person's values, aspira- tions and accomplishments. In addition, many grave- stones feature carved or etched symbols that provide important clues to the personality or occu- pation of the person they com- memorate. Although the most in- teresting monuments are personalized with one-of-a-kind carvings of such things as a fa- vorite pet, a vintage automobile, or the person's own likeness, there also are hundreds of sym- bols commonly used in memorial art. Other than religious symbols, the most common of these are flowers, trees, animals and other elements of nature. To help you decipher the me- morial symbols you'll see on your next cemetery visit, here's a list of just some of the symbols you might run across, and their com- mon meanings. Flowers and trees: *Rose beauty, love and wis- dom *Daisy innocence *Iris eloquence, a message, protection *Oak strength *Laurel glory *Palm victory, eternal peace *Thistle independence, pop- ular symbol for persons of Scot- tish descent Animals and insects: *Lion bravery *Lamb innocence, children *Dog watchfulness and fi- delity *Butterfly freedom *Bee diligence and good or- der *Dove peace Other symbols: *Interlocking rings marriage *Book and lamp education *Winged wheel commerce *Candle on book literature *Upright torch liberty, the upright life, the scholastic world *Scales of justice the law, frequently used for lawyers *Bleeding heart sorrow *Angel symbol of heaven *Halo divinity Popular symbols found in older cemeteries include the skull, a 17th century symbol for death, the weeping willow and draped urn, both expressing grief and mourning, and the tree trunk cut down, symbolizing a life cut short.

MAY, D.M.D. DENTAL EROSION Dental erosion is a peculiar disease that affects the teeth of some people. It begins on the outer surface of the tooth and causes the tooth substance to disappear. Erosion can affect any tooth and can be confined to one tooth or to a series of teeth. The surface most fre- quently involved are the cheek a,.d lip sides near the gum line. The disease usually goes unnoticed until the enamel is penetrated and the eroding pro- cess invades the underlying dentin. The involved teeth may become very sensitive to hot or cold food and drink and the eroded surface may be painful, even to the touch of a tooth- brush. The cause of dental erosion is typically a human disease; it is not found in animals. It is like- ly that it is caused by improper brushing techniques. Contact with concentrated acid sub- stances such as undiluted lem- on juice, may play some part in the erosive process. It is esti- mated that dental erosion af- fects from one to 10 percent of our population. It can be diag- nosed and treated. Another good reason for regular dental examinations. Prepared as a public ser- vice to promote better dental health. From the office of: FRANK D. MAY, D.M.D., 319 Williams Ave., Phone 227-1123.

Dr. Jones Speaks About Underweight Births To insure your home, car, boat, condo, mobile home, apartment, or even your business, give me a call. I have a lock on just the right policy ROY SMITH 227-1133 Allstate" 0 1990 Allstate Insurance Cornpanr Norhbrook. Illinois V Dr. Elizabeth Jones, of the Nemours Pediatric Clinic, gave the Rotary Club some little- known statistics of Gulf County's smaller citizens Thursday at the Regular meeting of the club. For instance, Dr. Jones said Gulf County has the highest per- centage of low weight births of any county in Florida. Of course, Gulf being a small county, it doesn't record many births and a low weight birth or two affects the percentages dramatically. "But when you consider that most low weight births are caused by .excessive smoking, taking drugs, or drinking alcohol on the part of the mother, this is cause for alarm," she said. A low weight birth is a baby of less than five and a half pounds. A very low weight baby is one which weighs three and "a half pounds or less. "Low weight babies present a tremendous drain on public facili- ties to care for them," Dr. Jones said. "For instance it costs from. $2,000 to $2,500 a day to care for a low weight baby in the neonatal care center in Pensacola. All ba- bies of very low weight are sent there." Weekend Computer Course The second series of courses offered by Gulf Coast Community College in the Weekend Computer Institute will be held Friday, June 26, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. CT; Satur- day, June 27, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT and Sunday, June 28, 1:30.to 4:30 p.m. CT. "Computer Literacy" is de- signed for those, with no previous microcomputer experience. Par- ticipants will learn how a micro- computer works and applications available for business and per- sonal use. "Lotus 1-2-3, Level 2" will teach participants how to build graphs and "dBASE IV, Level 2" provides a continuation of build- ing skills learned in Level 1. Work with multiple database files to display data and create reports; create custom data entry screens, control data entry and display us- ing template characters and edit- ing options. 'WordPerfect 5.1, Level 2" is a continuation of Level 1 including advanced editing and formatting, functions, simple macros, merg- ing files, and footnotes and end- notes. "AutoCAD, Level 2" will pro- vide knowledge in advanced DRAWing, EDITing AND DIMEN- SIONing commands and PLOTing techniques. Students should have completed Level 1 and must have a basic knowledge of drafting principles and DOS commands. The cost of each course is $28.25 for Florida residents. Ad- vance registration is required. Participants must register in per- son at the Lifelong Learning Cen- ter on the second floor of the Stu- dent Union East, Room 208. Reg- e; istration hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CT, Monday through Thursday. For more In- formation, call 1-872-3823. "Another problem facing the medical world is the problem of teen mothers," The Doctor said. "The school system is trying to help with the tremendous social problems this causes by making it easier for the mother to stay in school by furnishing day care. If a young mother leaves school, she cuts, her earning power in half and usually is a drain on the so- cial system." .Dr. Jones said both high schools in Gulf County have a team to work on this problem. 'We had seven teen mothers in each of the two high schools last year and a few less this year," she said. One very bright point for Gulf County is that 99% of children who enter the school system at kindergarten are fully immunized against the childhood communi- cable diseases. "This is a remark- able record and one the county can be proud of. Somebody is do- ing their job well." Ma A tAc' *1 STHE*. L.0.

Daylilies, A Popular Perennial In Florida By Roy Lee Carter County Extension Director Daylilies are among the most J popular and attractive perennials grown in Florida. Varieties of day- lilies can be grown in all parts of our state, and the plants do very well .with just a minimum of care. They are available in a wide range of colors, from oranges and yel- lows to' pinks, and purples.m.. :, Raising daylilies is fairly sim- S pe, but first you have to -make Q sure you're choosing the right va- rieties for your area of the state. Daylilies are classified into three groups according to their growth habits: deciduous, semi- evergreen, and evergreen. As you might expect, the de- ciduous daylily varieties die back in the winter; they do very well in - Northern Florida, but they don't receive enough cold weather in South Florida. On the other hand, the evergreen varieties gen- erally grow best in areas. with mild winters. They're better suit- ed for the southern part of our state.. Daylilies may be planted any- time of the year, but they usually do best if they're planted right af;t- ter flowering. Once they're estab- lished, these lilies need only mini- mnumn care. j Proper planting bed prepara- ' tion is a critical factor in raising daylilies. They are replanted only every five to 10 years, so flower beds need to have a soil of good quality. The lilies grow best on.a well- drained soil with good aeration and good water holding capacity. Sandy soils usually provide the necessary aeration, but they don't hold water very well. On the other hand, clay soils have good water holding properties, but they don't provide the aeration lilies need. So, if your soil is sandy, you need to add two to four inches of peat moss and work it in to a depth of :six to eight inches. If your soil has a great deal of clay in it, you might want to add about'an inch of perlite or similar material to in- ciease aeration. Prior to planting, the flower bed should be fertilized with an Bible Study 10 a.m. Sunday 7 p.m. Wednesday Florida Garden | Extension Notes By Si, Roy Lee Carter Gulf County Extension Service 8-8-8 mixture, at the rate 'of 2.5 pounds per 100. square feet. An inch or so of water should be ap- plied once or twice a, week until the plants are well established. Twice each year, re-fertilize with the same 2.5 pounds of 8-8-8 per 100 square feet. Apply the fertiliz- er evenry. keeping it of6the folih age. ,Due to an extensive root sys- tem, daylilies can survive dry conditions quite well. But, during periods of prolonged drought, you'll need to apply water to a depth of 12 inches to moisten the soil. Also, daylilies planted in full sun will need more watering than those planted in shaded areas. Daylilies have a tendency to become crowded, and when this happens, flower production is re- duced. If crowding occurs, you'llf' need to divide the plants by dig-:. ging them up and severing the' rhizome between the fans of' leaves with a sharp knife. Cut the' leaves back to within four to six; inches of the crown and replant' the divisions. . Daylilies can b'e planted in a variety of ways to enhance your landscape in .informal 'group-. ings, ...in small .groups in the, spaces betweerd.shrubbery, ...or';. irf front ofa- fence or-wall which' will serve as a background.

Due to the fact that some folk could not read or write or had no written language, facts and lore were passed down in songs or stories. The story of Money Bayou is nearly 200 years old and it has been passed to me from three genera- tions ago. During the 1920's and 1930's there were digs in Money Bayou, but to no avail; some say during pro- hibition people would be there in the woods getting liquor.and moonshine from in and outgoing boats in the waterways in that area. Although the storyline in the life, facts, and dates of;Jean La Fitte (Laffite, La Fitti, La Fite) and his band of buccaneers* of adventure and bravado are true. this rendition and account of the LEGEND OF MONEY BAYOU is purely a figment of my imagi- nation. ? 1780-c. 1821? T.iS IS TIE LEGEND OF THE GHOST OF JEAN LA FITIE (LEGEND OF MONEY BAYOU) by Lenohr Clardy This is the saga of Jean La Fitte Old Andy Jackson named him 'hellish banditti'. iA master of languages he could speak Blacksmith was his initial trade Riding the waves was where his wealth was made. For Jean, hammering iron was just too slow At this rate pocket monies never would grow. Privateer and free-booter in 1808 His brother he chose as his First Mate. Handsome and persuasive in the year of 1810 La Fitte recruited forty-odd thirsty men. In 1812 Andy needed his charms And was soon identified as "my comrade in arms". Sailing from New Orleans along the southern coast 'Privateers of Plunder' they did boast. Now luck was against them this time at task Two torn sails and a broken mast. To his inland retreat he sailed through The Sound They didn't get far 'til they scraped the ground. The ship began to crumble with a leaking purse of gold The bottom split into pieces and could not hold. The lust of adventure made the pirates intense Black deeds getting Jewels, doubloons, escudos was immense. "'Over the side with the treasure,"' La Fitte did declare "Not one dividend can we spare." Heaving and hauling with a heroical twist They trailed and wandered through the thick grey mist. Creeping amongst palmettos, moss, and woods Snakes and 'gators viewed the purloined goods. "X" marking their spot of stolen boot They set about digging to bury the loot. Flickering rag torches finally went out All through The Cape was heard their shout. Shivering and shaking and having been spurned No one knows if to their homes they returned. Visions of grandeur held La Fitte in awe Paying no heed to international law. The charges of piracy he. earned for his dreams Were never proved during all his schemes. Restored, redeemed to good graces was he President Madison signed the pardon to set the brothers free. In 1821, gathering the fortune that did remain La Fitte set sail and was never heard of again. Into century plus of excavations big Scooped wide deep holes with modem rig. * Not one piece of eight has ever been found ind 1 Another interested party with prohibit m Was seeking 'spirits' of a different tkina. Almost two hundred years of adventures being told So listen to exploits as sea ghosts unfold. The eye of the mind harbors its reservations Then comes rattling chains with no explanations. When the sand whispers down from along the Gulfs shore Remember hidden snatches of lingering folklore. Clouds dark and low and thunder claps its hand Diggings are heard in wet swampy land. Dull thuds, voices echo through the trees Each tiny sound vibrates in the breeze. With the contraband buried within his reach Jean may come back to Indian Pass Beach.

It had risen -- literally -- from its ashes, after a disastrous fire had levelled Spokane Village in 1889. but, in 1910, when It spawned the birth, of Father's Day, it was barely more than a "frontier outpost."

Newspapers rec- ognize Father's Day with, special feature reports and even special, sections. Radio and TV stations inundate the airwaves with re- minders. Family traditions Families have backyard cook- outs, presided over by "chef dad," "or the children may whip up a "sit down" dinner for the family. Dads receive an avalanche of gifts; everything from "something to wear" (a big favorite) to "cook- books". More than a hundred mil- lion greeting cards will go through the mail; there will be special visits; telephone lines will be flooded with calls to dads; and snap shots will be taken. Father's Day had a head start as a family day, but it now has evolved into an all-community celebration, al- most to the day when spring turns to summer, and new warm- weather lifestyles are born. William Smart, in whose im- age and name Father's Day was founded, lived to see it take hold. He died in 1919. A life-time crusade Mrs. John Bruce Dodd (nee Senora Smart) lived for almost 60 years longer, and all through her life, she continued to crusade on ' behalf of Father's Day and its sig- nificance for the family and the community.

So the first Father's Day was postponed until the third Sunday of June to give the minis- ters more time to prepare their tributes. The third Sunday of June has been Father's Day ever since. It has now been firmly es- tablished by a Joint Resolution of Congress, passed in 197.1. A grass roots movement But the path to "official na- tional holiday" status was slow. Early on, the great populist. Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, recognized Father's Day as an event that warranted national support and, observance. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge, 'in, later years, endorsed the obser- vance of the holiday. But it took the formation of the Father's Day Council, in 1931, to give coher- ence and organization to Father's Day as an event that merited na- tional observance. The idea took hold so quickly that before the end of the decade, Father's day had become meaningful and widely accepted and observed. It became a grass roots movement. It wasn't until 1971 that Con- gress recognized Father's Day for what it was a national holiday, proclaimed by the people.

She want- ed to express appreciation to her own dad, ant to all American fa- thers who had devoted them- selves to the guardianship of their families. ,- r Reaping the rewards By the time her concept was developed, she had herself be- come a mother. And so began her drive to organize Spokane to ob- serve the first Father's Day. She persevered by working with the Ministerial Association of Spo- kane, the mayor and other civic 'leaders, and the YMCA. Finally, after a year of intensive effort, the first Father's Day was set for June, 1910. It was Mrs. Dodd's idea to celebrate the occasion on the first Sunday of June her father's birthday.
