12/31/99 ARCHIVES BINDERY 1508 HWY 431-5 ALBERTVILLE AL 35950 Disaster Crews Practice State-wide Training Florida's disaster team was gearing up for the hurricane season last week end. As a re- minder of the seriousness of their exercise, a tropical disturbance was churning up in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time. Among the 60 counties going through a dry A-"" run of a disaster .and getting instructions about what to do from video tapes and lectures, was Gulf County with its disaster preparedness di- rector, Larry Wells. Wells put the disaster team for Gulf County through a mock disaster, tested the rescue ve- M |1 Members of Gulf County's Disaster Prepared- videos in a state-wide exercise designed to pre- ness group, gathered in the County Commission pare for the hurricane season which began that Meeting Room Friday at noon to view training day. The group also participated in drills. hicles and emergency communications system and designated shelters for the entire county. FEW SHELTERS The shocker in the emergency preparedness was the revelation that there are only two ap- proved emergency shelters in Gulf County with a capacity for 200 people. "In the past, we have used the Courthouse here in Port St. Joe, the Port St. Joe High School and other public Volunteers spend a day with Civil Defense Director Larry Wells in laying plans and re- hearsing for the hurricane season and possible disasters. buildings. During the winter, we had an evalu- ation done on buildings in Gulf County and found that only two, the Wewahitchka Elemen- tary and Wewahitchka High School commons areas were the only buildings in the County ap- proved as shelters from a hurricane," Wells said. He also pointed out, 'The reason for this designation was because of the things learned from "Hugo" in South Carolina a couple of years ago. Rising water is a wrecker of build- ings and rising water in low Gulf County would be a disaster if people were still here when a hurricane struck." "Let's not confuse a storm with a hurri- cane," Wells said. "Storms are inconvenient. Hurricanes are deadly." PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Working on the theory that practice makes perfect, the week end exercise involved the vol- unteer disaster and communication people, po- lice departments, Sheriffs department, ambu- lance service, fire departments, hospital officials and shelter people. A mock disaster situation was arranged in which a saboteur entered the water treatment plant and broke a valve off a chlorine tank, starting a gas leak which allegedly threatened Arizona Chemical, St. Joe Forest Products Company and part of North Port St. Joe with the leaking gas fumes. A mock evacuation of the gas-threatened area was initiated and car- ried out by those participating in the exercise. Disaster communications were set up and tested which included a "worst case" situation in which information will be relayed and re- ceived by area ham radio operators. In case of an emergency the Gulf County disaster operations headquarters will be in the County Commission Meeting Room at the rear of the Courthouse building complex. The room is equipped with an emergency telephone sys- tem, short wave radios, police communication, including the paging system for the ambulance services in the county, all fire departments, and law enforcement communications. The building is also equipped with an emergency power gen- erator, which is tested once a month. '"We don't want to see a hurricane," Wells said, "But if it comes, I feel we are trained and our workers know what to do."

"I appreciate the support the people have given me during my first term in office. I feel the board has accomplished a great deal the last four years. We have had to make many important and tough decisions. Some were pop- ular and some were not; but each decision made was necessary to enhance the overall condition of Gulf County, and to ensure equal and better conditions for all citi- zens of Gulf County," stated Creamer.

For the past several years, the City has been providing a professional fireworks display to mark the occasion of Inde- pendence Day and each year the display has become larger and draws huge crowds from all over the county. Crowds fill the park, to get a ring-side seat for the display and on-lookers line Highway 98 all the way to the south City Limits. Boaters even get in position for an unobstructed view of the activities in the Bay, just off-shore. VFW Post 10069 will operate a refreshment stand at the display this year, offering hot dogs, hamburgers, cold drinks and snacks. The display will begin Saturday night, at first dark, with the pyrotechnics being set off by members of the Fire Depart- ment. The booming display will be aimed 'out over the Bay to reduce the danger from falling particles. A fence will be set up to keep spectators at a safe distance. Admission is free and the City invites everyone to come help celebrate Independence Day in the old fashioned way.

We've had it so long, we take it for granted. But it isn't the sort of thing you can take for granted. One must work at it, constantly, to maintain freedom and what it offers us. Those who signed that Declaration more than 200 years ago, became instant criminals. They were revolutionaries. They were heroes to the persecuted and outlaws to those who had it easy and didn't want the status quo disturbed. Unlike most of the revolutionaries in the world today, there wasn't some ambitious politician waiting backstage to assume power when the zealots of freedom toppled the present rulers from the house of government. Have you ever wondered just how close we came to remain- ing a colony of England? But for a few incidents which worked in the favor of the colonists, we would be also unduly worried over the family affairs of Di and Charles. Freedom delivered us from that. This nation has been through tougher circumstances than the one with the Revolutionary War, gaining our independence from the greatest and most powerful nation on earth at that time. There have been other wars, of a world-wide nature, a civil war, depression, disease, and now, with six percent of the world's population, we are stuck with being the "Big Brother" to the World. That's quite a responsibility for so few people We have assumed the position formerly held by England at the time of the Revolutionary War. We're the most powerful and most influential nation on earth. We now have world-wide re- sponsibilities, whether we want them or not. The Operation Desert Storm, in which we were involved at In- dependence Day last year, is a good example of both responsibil- ity and power. We think the quality which makes our nation great, is our willingness to accept our responsibilities of leader- ship. There are others willing to accept that role, with other Ide- as about freedom. Turn your attention for a moment, or allow those forces power and freedom could die. .. overnight! Questions There are a host of important questions before us today. Questions which will determine how we will live for the foreseea- ble future and which will affect our lives. Let's look at one or two. SHUTTING DOWN state funded operations if a budget isn't approved by July 1 is one thing. Is this a bluff or what? We tend to believe it is either a bluff or power politics at their worst. Why should it be any harder to pay for any services tomorrow than it is today. They are all operating-maybe at reduced levels,' but operating-today. They should operate at the same level tomor- row. : LOTTERY-We read where the lottery is one of the non- essential operations to be shut down. We never approved of the lottery from the word "go". However, we're curious. It was our understanding the lottery was self-sustaining. Have we been lied to again? Are taxes being used to finance that boon-doggle which was to be the savior of the school system? The lottery might just be the root cause of our financial problems. THE SUPREME Court has declared once again that our na- tion is becoming a God-less nation. Not only can't we decide whether or not to have a prayer at the next graduation exercis- es, we have broken the law if we do. Have the nine Justices nothing better to do with their time? Here we are observing our Independence Day this very week. Our forefathers wrote that Constitution the Supreme Court is trying so hard to protect, along with the rights of every individu- al who has an original idea. Those same forefathers gave God the credit for our nation and pledged to honor God and use the Bible as a pattern for man's freedom. Where's the consistency? We'll tell you, the decisions of the Supreme Court have tram- pled on our rights, mightily. We just might want to offer a prayer of thankfulness that our grandchildren completed school at the next graduation exercise. We'll just have to break the law. On the other hand, the Court has given protection to those people who choose to damage their health, or bring on an early death, by smoking. Their survivors can sue the tobacco compa- nies for causing a death they freely chose. Talk about a foolish decision! AND LAST, THERE IS the matter of Ross Perot. The news media has been trying to pin him down to answer some question about just what his position is and he's slicker than a Brother's River eel, at sneaking by the plain answers. Perot comes over real good as a "Good Ole Boy" but how do you Justify calling a Texas billionaire a "Good Ole Boy"? We have come to the conclusion that Ross Perot is the "Alge- bra Candidate". You know, the candidate of unknown quantity. Hunker Down with Kes i .1 Kesley Colbert "JOSH JESS, you guys come in here a minute." '"What's up, Dad?" 'We're going to have a family forum."

We are going to do things as a family. We are going to have good, wholesome fun. We (Sec KESLEY on Page 3) The Ramsey Clan - All 9 - Had A Heritage of Taking Care of Themselves THE OCCASION OF my Un- cle Ed Ramsey dying last week brought to mind the story of my grandmother, her three boys and five daughters, and welfare. My grandmother lived in our house as long as we lived in Okla- homa, until I was 13 years of age so I knew her pretty well. She sent us boys out in the spring to pick "poke" greens, she lined us up and organized us in the pro- duction of a garden in the vacant lots on both sides of our house, she sent us under the house to 'spread out the potato crop so it wouldn't rot before we could eat it, she kept the pickling crock of earthernware at the back of the house, she made the preserves out of little tomatoes which we all us boys liked and made the pies out of the flat, white squash. I knew her pretty well. Grandma was a self-sufficient woman; GRANDMA MARRIED Ervin Etaoin Shrdlu by Wesley Ramsey Ramsey at the age of 15, about the turn of the century-1896-in Rhinehart, Missouri and Grandpa worked in the open pit coal mines of Missouri. Like I said, they had eight children. Sometime about 1912 or 13, Grandpa was injured with a blow to the head by a pick-axe on the job. Complications set in and Grandpa died of the influen- za, leaving Grandma to fend for herself and eight small children. There was no welfare in those days; no social security; no rent assistance; no energy assistance programs, no commodities and no food stamps. Today, Grandma would have qualified as an indigent, at the mercy of the world. Grandma didn't have any particular skills and she had no money put away for a rainy day. There was no aid to dependent children or free lunches at school. She was destitute with the breadwinner of the family dead. It wasn't a very good start for a widow woman with eight chil- dren. GRANDMA HEARD OF this small oil boom town about 50 miles southwest of Tulsa, Oklaho- ma, where there was work. It wasn't too far away, so she load- ed her kids on the train, joined two sisters and a brother, and went to the oil boom town shortly after Grandpa died. After she got there, she got a job operating a rooming and boarding house. Daddy and Uncle Ed and Uncle Raymond each had a shoe shine box and they went to work, too. Like the garden, when Grandma lived in our house, she lined those kids up with jobs they could do and they went to work. A few years later, she was married again to a man I never knew nor ever heard much about. I figured he must be the bravest or the most foolish man in the world, to marry a woman with eight kids. Another son was born and shortly afterward, Grandma was single again. The marriage didn't work out. Still no government help. No welfare. No food stamps. No so-' cial security. No nothing But the whole family worked and they got along pretty well. The girls all married and the men all started families of their own, after awhile. But, while they were growing up, Grandma kept them busy and she kept busy. THERE WAS NO question about whether or not we would plant a garden in the spring. The only question was, what will we grow this year? We kept a cow for milk, a pig for killing in the fall and chickens for fryers and eggs. We pulled the ragweeds which grew in the edge of the garden and fed them to the pig. We went across the street to the cotton gin and hauled in cot- ton hulls to feed the cow and store pumpkins and sweet pota- toes in for the winter. Grandma was ingenious. That was the kind of "roots" Uncle Ed and Daddy came from. They learned at an early age to make it on their own or it wouldn't be made. My other set of grandparents owned a cotton farm in northwest Texas, so they were too far away to give us any help or guidance. When I was born, the small town was beginning to dry up, along with the oil field which spawned it. There was no extra money floating around, you can be sure. To live in a dying oil boom town during a nationwide depression called for the most ingenuity one could muster to keep things go- ing. I never knew we were having it hard. As is always the case, there was work for those willing to work. I wonder how Grandma would have fared under the wel- fare program of today? -- -4 St. Joseph Bay Date Time Ht. Time Ht.

Li I Lb TTT'tF Su'ATA PORT AT Tnlr,'T-, o 'rT-U 014qAV TJULY 2.100992, Shad Phantry By el Wendell Campbell Shoes Have Become , A Problem... A few months ago I wrote an article about shoes that squeak. I was reminded of squeaking shoes one Sunday when our preacher mentioned them in his sermon. He said something to the effect that he could remember when a new pair of shoes squeaked when you first walked in them. That statement immediately brought back memories of my childhood. I, like our preacher, am from the South where a new pair of shoes didn't have to fit a young man in those days; being cl9se was good enough. I'm not blaming our preacher, nor does this article have any- thing to do with shoes that squeak, but since that Sunday I have had a terrible time getting shoes to feel comfortable on my feet. (Well, where else would I wear a pair of shoes, pray tell?) It all started a few days after Rev. Baxter's sermon about squeaking shoes. There appeared to be an elongated knot or ball under my left foot between my instep and toes. At first I thought my sock had balled up on me, so I took off my shoe and pulled my sock up. That didn't help the problem so I checked my shoe. My inspection revealed nothing and the uncomfortable feeling persisted, so after a few days I decided it was time for a new pair of shoes; work shoes. I had complained so much that my wife told me, "Buy some good shoes. Spend more than $14.95 on some and they will last more than 3 months. There's no wonder your feet hurt!" I promised I would do that very thing. My first stop was Payless Shoes (that name sounds good to me) where I found a variety of good-looking shoes, but nothing that was comfortable. My next stop was the Army-Navy Surplus Store where I found a Jew pairs of boots that were comfortable, but extremely hot. They were lace.-up army boots and cost almost $50. I passed because I didn't wanrit to spend that much time lacing up boots each morning. , I looked at walking shoes, tennis shoes, hiking boots, loafers and dress shoes, but could find nothing that was suitable for work- ing shoes. Finally in desperation and with pain that brought tears to my eyes with each step, I went to a place that sold the ultimate in comfort and durability in work and casual shoes. The shoes were called "Rockports." My hand was shaking so badly I could hardly write the check and a couple of teardrops stained the check as I handed it to the man. For that price; they had better be comforta- ble, I thought. For the first few days I thought my money was well spent. After about a week, however, the ridge reappeared on my left foot, in the 'saine place. I fhen started an intense investigation checking every- thing I did that might cause this irritation. My final analysis was that pressing in on the clutch of my truck was causing my discomfort. Also, I decided, the Rockport work boots were too narrow, aggravating the problem so I gave the new boots to my son and bought another pair of expensive boots made especially for working. I also pressed the clutch with my right foot from that day forth. The knot and pain persisted, however, and soon spread to my dress shoes, slippers and, believe it or not, to my 6-year-old tennis shoes; shoes that never hurt me even when I had an in-grown toenail. I did discover that I had one pair of shoes that didn't hurt me. My golf shoes. I wore them everywhere for a while, but it was un- comfortable walking down the street in them and often times people didn't want me coming in their home with them on. Finally, in desperation, I bought a new truck with an automatic transmission and for Father's Day my family gave me a pair of deck shoes. The knot is still there arid the pain persists. ... My question is this: Should I just quit work and play golf every' day, or do you.think it would help if I embellished the truth a little less in my articles? There's no need for you to answer, preacher Two Men Charged With Arson of a Houseboat Warrants for the arrest of two men have been issued by the Gulf County Sheriffs Department this Gulf Follies Revue Is "Off the Ground" The Port St. Joe Rotary Club and the Association for Retarded Citizens are pooling their efforts to Jointly sponsor the first edition of the Gulf Follies Revue variety show this fall. The purpose of the show is to raise funds for local charitable programs, featuring lo- cal talent.

Whiting said that their goal is to showcase lo- cal talent in an evening of cultu- ral family, entertainment.

'i Sheriff Al Harrison said his department has arrested William Raffield, 19, Saturday, and filed the charges against him for the April 17 burning of a houseboat owned by Fairo Lee Aman, Jr. The houseboat was tied up at Kirkland's landing at White City at the time of the fire. Warrants have also been is- sued for James Edward Raker, 28, a resident of Maryland, also charged with burning the house- boat. The boat was a total loss from the fire. Aman was on community control release from Florida State Prison at the time of the fire. He was supposed to be at the house- boat under his community con- trol sentence when the fire broke out, but he was not. Aman has since been picked up and sent to state prison for violation of his community control. Raffield has been conditional- ly released from Gulf County jail following his arrest. Main Street From Page 1 of need, and public support. This expression of public support will occupy the time of the Chamber and Its directors for the next two months. "Main Street" is more a state of mind than it is bricks and mor- tar. But it is an organized state of mind. Designed to rekindle a sense of pride in the home town setting, emphasizing the good and changing the bad, the deci- sion to try for membership grew out of a' recent economic survey conducted by the Chamber of Commerce in which it was learned local people deserted their home town mostly because of the way they were treated, [tak- en for granted] appearances of lo- cal businesses, and choice. NOT A GRANT PROGRAM "Main Street" is not a grant program, but rather is a technical assistance program. "Main Street" cities receive up to three years of technical assistance from its agency. It is a self-help program in which small but positive im- provements are made. "Main Street" is a communi- ty-wide revitalization designed to emphasize local ownership, per- sonal service and a sense of com- munity among the entire popula- tion. Accomplishments of "Main Street" are accompanied by a sense of 'we did it!' FLORIDA MAIN STREET Florida Main Street was ini- tiated in 1985 and is adminis- tered by the Bureau of Historic Preservation Florida Department of State. Its purpose is to build a posi- tive image among the community and its citizens, create job oppor- tunities through revitalization of local businesses, save tax dollars by stopping erosion of valuations, and preserve the integrity of the community. To illustrate how important the "Main Street" membership is, it provides tremendous influence for the approval of grants or gov- ernment assistance when re- quested, because it shows the community is interested enough in its Improvement to so some- thing for themselves. 4th of July in Wewahitchka The City of Wewahitchka will be celebrating a day of fun-filled activities on Saturday, July 4th at Lake Alice.

We are going to remember Crispus Atticus and Nathan Hale and Al- vin C. York and Leon Colbert and John Wayne and Merle Haggard. When I was'a boy the Fourth of July was the biggest holiday of the year. People were proud :to take a day off to honor America. We are going to do the same thing. You boys need to grow up remembering what made this na- tion great. We've had it too easy. You boys have had it too easy. Why, back when I was your age- "Daddy, I change my vote." "Now, you're" thinking right. Jess, how about you?" "I'll make a deal with you, Dad, I'll change my vote and help you honor America, I'll eat cold chicken and spit watermelon seeds, I'll wave a flag and remem- ber Merle Haggard if you will promise not to tell us about Ricky Hale and Bobby Brewer and La- Renda Bradfield and how ya'll used to do it back in the good old days. Save those stories for the newspaper." Respectfully, J., J., C., and K. Creamer From Page 1 like-to be a part of seeing them through to the finish," he contin- ued. Creamer went on to say, "I have tried to be the commissioner that I promised to you four years ago and my pledge to you is to continue being that same com- missioner.

The Star, a story released by, the Marine Fisheries Commis- sion stated that recreational net fishermen would no longer be allowed to use their gill nets to fish for mullet in Bay waters., Recreational fishermen were alarmed over the news and asked that the story be ver- ified. The Star has verified the. story with a Mr. Laguna in the. MFC office in Tallahassee. The story should have read that the MFC has RECOMMENDED that recreational fishermen would no longer be able to use their gill nets in taking mullet... . The ruling will be the sub-. ject of a public hearing in St.- Augustine on August 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the. Ponce de Leon Hotel. While recreational fisher- men may still use their gill nets now, they may not be able to for very much longer. PAfC~. RA I PAGE 4A THE STAR, PORT ST.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, JULY 2,1992 Delicious Old-Fashioned Recipes Have you noticed how many recipes are called "old-fashioned," "classic" and "traditional?" Why are these words chosen to entice? It seems that no matter how high-tech food becomes or how many substitutions can be made, most people prefer the classics for good eating. Time-honored baked goods, all made with real, fresh ingre- dients, are the most popular. Tra- ditional favorites like Buttery Sugar Cookies, Fabulous Scotch- ies and Country Lemon Squares are toted on picnics and served at cookouts year after year simply because they taste so great. Buttery Sugar Cookies are true old-fashioned cookies made with only a few simple ingre- dients. These cookies are best when real butter is used, though margarine can be substituted. Prepare the dough in advance ahd bake up a batch just before serving. Fabulous Scotchies have a chewy brownie texture and rich butterscotch flavor. Vary the nut- ty; taste by substituting different nuts toasted almonds, cash- ews ,or pecans. Toasting nuts in tle oven brings out their rich taste and deepens and' distin- gu shes their flavor in any des- sert. Country Lemon Squares, ideal for taking along in their baking pan on picnics, have fine- ly chopped pecans in the crust. Pecans complement the tangy fill- 'g made with fresh lemon juice 1 peel. As long as you have lemons hand, why not squeeze some fresh lemonade, an old-fashioned summer thirst quencher? Con- trary to popular belief, making real lemonade with fresh lemon juice, water and sugar isn't much more work than stirring up a batch of instant, and the taste can't be beat. Buttery Sugar Cookies 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or marga- rine, softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs -. 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour Cream butter and sugar to- , gether in mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir in flour. Divide dough into two equal portions. Form each half into two rolls about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each tightly with plastic wrap or wax paper. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Pre- heat oven to 350F. Slice roll into about 1/8-inch-thick slices and arrange one inch apart on iun- greased baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Deco- rate if desired. Makes about 64 cookies. Fabulous Scotchies 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or marga- rine 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup self-rising flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup chopped pecans Variations: Substitute 1 cup chopped al- monds or cashews for pecans. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Melt butter in large sauce-, pan over low heat; remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingre- dients in order listed, mixing well after each addition. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and beginning to slightly pull away from sides of pan. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 2-inch squares. Makes 16 squares. Note: If using all-purpose flour, sift 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt with flour. Country Lemon Squares Crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (I stick) butter, melted 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans Filling:. 6 eggs, beaten 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons flour 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel, optional Confectioners' sugar Preheat oven to 3500F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. To prepare crust, combine flour, sugar, salt and butter in mixing bowl; blend with electric mixer on medium speed until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in pecans. Press mixture firmly and evenly into prepared pan. Bake 20 minutes or until very light golden brown. To prepare filling, combine eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and peel in mixing bowl; stir until smooth. Pour into baked crust. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely on wire rack. Dust lightly with con- fectioners' sugar. Store covered in refrigerator. Makes 15 to 18 serv- ings.

IOLL If By: Richard Miller *lf your car overheats, park by' the side of the roa d turn it off. Lift the hood; do not open the radiator cap until the en- gine has completely cooled. *Quality jumper cables should be at least 12 feet long to reach from car to car in odd lo- cations and should be 8-gauge or better. The longer the cable, the heavier (lower number) it should be. *Despite modern anti-theft de- vices the best advice is still the oldest: Lock your car, close all the windows, and take the key with you. Many cars are stolen with the keys right in the igni- tion. *Before you take to the road this summer, safety experts recommend practice changing a tire, if you haven't changed one lately. If a tire goes flat in a ,sparsely populated area and you have to do the job yourself, you'll be ready. *If you hear your car letting out a long "sigh" after the engine is shut off, the problem may be steam escaping past the radia- tor cap due to poor fit and a worn gasket. *New-Used Cars: If your car is tired, maybe it's time for a new one.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, JULY 2,1992 Dan Christie has a spare acre at his home located at Sim- mons Bayou and on this acre he has some of the lushest, green- est, blueberry bushes growing you have ever seen. "Dan's Little Acre," is rewarding him with a bumper crop this year, which he opens to the U-Pick trade. Dan says he visits the field daily and is constantly retrieving notes, money, and other signs that people have come in and * picked some of his berries and either left the money or left mes- sages as to how and when they will pay. "I operate mostly on the honor system and it works very well for me," Dan said. Christie's crop is just about gone for this seasonbut still the bushes are loaded and one can pick a peck in just a short while. He keeps his rows clean and about half way through the acre is a hammock stretched between two water oaks and a picnic table for resting and cooling it in the shade. At the end of the field are several bird houses made of net strung over a "shed which has several species of birds flying around for the enjoyment of his visitors. *He says he is doing very well with his berry crop this year. "I'm satisfied with the results," he says. One gets the impression that Dan just likes to see the berries grow, because he quipped, "I've got enough planted for me, my customers and the birds!" There is no attempt made to keep the birds out of the berries. The German Shepherd dog, located on the premises is a lov- er, not a fighter. He is there to greet you and not chase you away. - enoI crr coplt lino LOST 9 mo. old male Ger- man Shepherd wear- ing a blue collar. Call 229-2727 days or 229-6965 even- ings.

He sailed on various ships carrying varied war materials. Schoelles served in all thea- ters of the War, beginning in the North Atlantic and later on in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, In- dian Ocean, and the North and South Pacific. He was in Italyi's when the European War ended and in the Pacific when Japan surrendered in 1945. He also served in the Korean and Viet- nam Conflicts. After 42 years of service, he retired in 1984 and since resided with his wife, Chris, in Mexico Beach. When the Persian Gulf build- up of Desert Shield began, the military sea lift command started to reactivate Merchant ships from the Ready Reserve Fleet. The ships were coming out to load for the Persian Gulf when the govern- ment realized the ships would be ready to go but there were no offi- cers or crew to man them. The government then had to request many. retirees to report for physi- cals and other necessary formali- ties and return to duty. Schoelles is still on Active Duty. He recently received the United States Mer- chant Marine Expeditionary Award and medals for his contri- butions supporting Amnerica and the International Coalition Mili- tary Forces in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Members of both communi- ties will engage in a unique exper- iment sponsored by Gulf Coast Community College and the Ket- tering Foundation to .stimulate "public talk" about issues of local and national concern. Gulf and Bay counties will be joining approximately 3,300 other communities in 46 states that are holding National Issues Forums ori pressing public policy issues such as rising health care costs, crime and criminal justice, the boundaries of free speech and the role of America in the world to- day. The special Community For- um will be held in the Commons Area of Port St. Joe High School on Thursday, August 6, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The forum will provide an opportunity for participants to use the National Issues Forum concept in community problem- solving. I National Issues Forums are nonpartisan meetings designed to strengthen the public's ability to make decisions vital to the func- tioning of democracy. These for- ums invite discussion about rea- listic alternatives for public action, along with their costs and the main arguments for and against them. This process encourages par- ticipants to examine their values and preferences -bas individuals and as community members - and apply them to specific issues.

Sam's job was to supply meat to military troops stationed in Troy, New York. The meat was stamped U.S. (abbreviation for the United States). One day, a worker in Wilson's store jokingly told a government inspector that the initials stood for "Uncle Sam," and that it was Sam Wilson's nickname. After this joke, all federal suppliers were called "Uncle Sam." In 1961, scholars researched the origin of this name. Proof of its origin was found in an 1830 newspaper. Shortly after the discovery, the U.S. officially proclaimed Sam Wilson the original "Uncle Sam." Who was John Adams? John Adams was America's first vice President and second President. He played a very im- portant role in the American Rev- olution and worked very hard for passage of the Declaration of In- dependence. Celebration was predicted to be July 2nd Supposedly, a scholar in the 19th century discovered a letter written by John Adams. In the letter, Adams predicted that America's independence would be celebrated on July 2nd of every year. What did the scholar do with that letter? He changed the date to read the 4thl Opposition to America's in- dependence At lease six delegates op- posed the rebellion for indepen- dence.

Army Recruiters Expected to Enlist 75,000 to Active Duty In 1992 The U.S. Army Recruiting Command continues to put young men and women into the Army, even as the Army is going through the process of downsiz- ing. During fiscal year 1992, Army recruiters will enlist 75,000 Active soldiers and 52,500 Re- serve soldiers. While this mission is down considerably from the mission of the 1980's, there are still many opportunities for young people who want to join the Army in order to learn a skill or to gain money for college. According to Lt. Col. Jamiel S. Saliba, commander of the U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion head- quartered in Montgomery, ."re- cruiting is still required, even though the Army is in the process of reducing its force structure. Maintaining an effective force re- quires continued recruiting for young soldiers to fill entry level positions in 70 critical skills and in combat units that make up the greatest part of the Army's nu- merical strength." Saliba added, "Most of those soldiers who are recruited will serve one term and then return to civilian life. If the Army were to cease recruiting, it would become top heavy with offi- cers and senior enlisted person- nel, with adverse cost and perfor- mance consequences." Saliba points out that as the Army recruiting mission has been getting smaller, so has the re- cruiting force as well as funding for advertising and overhead ex- penses. Over. the past several years, the Recruiting Command has trimmed the numbers of re- cruiters, as well as the number of recruiting stations and intermedi- ate headquarters. However, de- spite the reductions, every com- munity in the U.S. continues to. have access to an Army recruiter. The Army continues to offer new recruits a wide range of ben- efits, which include guaranteed training in one of over 250 skills, and Montgomery G.I. Bill plus Army College Funds benefits up to $25,200. Army service also equips soldiers for life in the civil- ian sector following their enlist- ments. The Army assists depart- ing soldiers through its Army Career and Alumni Program, which links them up with private employers. The key to the success of the program is that employers recognize that former soldiers of- fer "experience for hire," with skills and personal characteris- tics which make them outstand- ing employees. Saliba says young men and women should not think that they no longer have a chance to enlist. Saliba said, "Bright young men and women who stay the course and graduate from high school will always have an oppor- tunity in the Army to 'Be all that they can be.'"

Arrows used for taking deer, hog or turkey must be equipped with a broad- head that has a minimum of two sharpened steel edges with a fixed minimum width of 7/8 of an inch. Broadheads with concealed or pivoting heads are prohibited. Electronic sights or aiming devices with electronic computa- tional capabilities or light projec- tion (laser) features now are pro- hibited when hunting during any archery season. 'Through these regulations, the Commission hopes to keep special primitive weapons sea- sons true to their definition," said Dr. Allan L. Egbert, assistant ex- ecutive director of the agency. 'We hope their omission from the handbook will not cause any mis- understandings among Florida's bowhunters."

And now they're there to stay. Fisheries scientists believe flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivar- is), which get their name from their flattened head, entered the Apalachicola from Lake Seminole and Georgia's Flint River, which feeds Lake Seminole. Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Com- mission fisheries personnel' first noticed flatheads in the Apalachi- cola while conducting routine fish collections in 1984. About the same time fisher- men reported catching an occa- sional flathead but now the catch numbers in the hundreds if not thousands, annually from the Ap- alachicola. Most of the fish are caught during the spring and summer months below Jim Woodruff Dam at Chattahoochee. The Commission's Division of Fisheries now recognizes flathead catfish among its list of record fish and in the last two months two new state record flatheads have been caught below Jim Woodruff Dam. They include a 27.75 pound fish landed by Mi- chael Crews of Fountain on April 20 and a 33.09 pound specimen boated May 9 by Todd Lewis of Grand Ridge. Biologists believe it's only a matter of time until other record-size flatheads are landed. But unlike other catfish na- tive to the Apalachicola, such as channel and several small species of catfish referred to as bull- heads, adult flatheads are live fish eaters and therein lies the rub. Some fishermen are afraid the growth of the flathead popula- tion in the Apalachicola will mean drastic changes in other fish pop- ulations in the river. Gray Bass, fisheries scientist and Blackwater Fisheries Re- search and Development Center Administrator said, "The con- cerns we've received center around flatheads eradicating bluegills, other panfish, and channel catfish from the river, but this has not happened in any other river or system where they're naturally found in the United States, and there's noth- ing to indicate that any species of fish in the Apalachicola will be eliminated or severely impacted." He said, "Extensive food habit studies of flatheads in the Flint River showed crayfish was the dominant food in those fish un- der 24 inches in length while larger flatheads consumed cray- fish, different species of panfish and even their own species. "Obviously flatheads will compete with other species in- cluding game fish but they'll eventually peak in correlation to the available food supply, That's a simple law of nature." , Bass said where they're na- tive, such as the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, they're one of the largest catfish species present but not in abundance. * Ross Tucker Gets Award In Planning Ross E.
