Senior Citizen Center Revived, Revised


An ambitious project of building a large
Senior Citizen complex in Forrest Park seemed
to have died along with its chief architect and
supporter, Stiles Brown, a few months ago.
However, the project rose again Tuesday
night, as Senior Citizens director, Jerry Stokoe,
presented plans for a scaled down center to the
City Commission and asked for their support in
getting the project under construction this
* year. "Actually,", Stokoe said, "we hope to com-
plete the center during the coming calendar
year."
Stokoe said the proposed Center would be
located in the Forrest Park vicinity, between
Sixth and Seventh Street. The building would
contain some 10,000 feet and has been scaled
down from a $1 million complex to an estimat-
ed $300,000.
NO GRANTS AVAILABLE
'The grants have all but dried up, so we'll


"We will be having all kinds of fund raisers
throughout the year. We'll take anything some-
one has to offer. I feel we can build this center for
an outlay of around $100,000." Stokoe


have to fund the project with local funds," Sto-
koe said. "We will be having all kinds of fund
raisers throughout the year." The director said
he has already received pledges of aid, money
and materials. "We'll take anything someone
has to offer. I feel we can build this center for
an outlay of around $100,000," Stokoe said.
The center will contain the nerve center of
the Gulf County Senior Citizens operation in-
cluding preparation of meals for shut-ins and
Seniors who otherwise would not bother to pre-


pare themselves a balanced hot meal each day.
The center would still contain a recreation
room and a meeting area for senior citizens and
space for use as a public meeting place.
Stokoe said a company is currently taking
soil borings of the property involved to see what
extent of preparations must be made. The prop-
erty is suspect of having an underlying strata
of muck which is unstable to build on in the
usual manner.


ASKS FOR PLEDGE
The director asked the Commission to in-
clude them in their budget for $25,000 to be
applied to the center's construction. He was re-
minded that this year's budget had already
been set and although he received expressions
of support, the Commission stopped short of
agreeing to include the project in next year's
budget in the amount requested.
Stokoe left the meeting fairly sure he would
get the funds requested.
The enthusiastic Mr. Stokoe painted a posi-
tive picture of the project and its construction,
leaving little doubt that it will get built, some-
how.
"We need that center," Stokoe concluded.
"We're jammed to the walls in our present site,
trying to carry on administration, operate a
clothes closet, a food closet, prepare meals and
meet for a little fellowship in our small build-
ing."

Three Injured In Two New


Year's Day Accidents In Wewa

13-Year-Old Bay Faces Possible Loss of Foot Due to Gunshot
Wound While On A Hunting Trip; Still Under Hospital Care


Coming Down
The City's Christmas Tree, which stood
at the intersection of Fifth Street and Reid
Avenue during the holiday season, joined


the rest of the decorations this week, being
taken down and put away for the remain-
der of the year. The live tree, however, was
chipped up and disposed of in a non-
polluting manner after serving the City's
needs well.


Two accidents on New Years'
Day sent three Wewahitchka citi-
zens to the hospital with mild to
serious injuries.
Steven Paul McDaniel, 13,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul McDa-
niel, was shot in the foot in a
hunting accident and is in Bay
Medical Center, facing extensive
surgery to save his foot.
Steven Paul and his father
were going hunting Friday morn-
ing and were riding through the
woods northwest of Wewahitchka
in a pick-up truck, when sudden-
;, ,y, a .243 caliber rifle went olT.
shooting the youth in the foot.
He was brought out to Wetap-
PPo where he was met by the WVe-
wahitchka ambulance and taken
to Bay Memorial, where he is sull
a patient. Doctors are still unsure
whether the youth's foot can be
saved or not.

City Receives Offer of Waterfront Property


The City Commission was
presented a deal Tuesday night,
by the Public,Land Trust, to pos-
sibly obtain a piece of waterfront
property Inside the City Limits of
Port St. Joe to use for a park or
playground. The property was
land the Commission had previ-
ously been interested in but
which it thought carried too high
a price tag. Public Land Trust is a
group of private citizens -who
search throughout Florida for en-


vironmentally sensitive or water-
'front property for sale and at-
tempt to put together a package
for a city or county to obtain the
property.
In Port St. Joe, the property
in question is the Maddox proper-
ty on the shores of St. Joseph
Bay, being offered by the Maddox
estate. The estate offered the land
to the City earlier, saying they
had employed independent ap-
praisers to put a value on the


property and also compared it to
other waterfront property in this
vicinity.
Although the' appraisal val-
ued the property at more than
the asking price, the Commission
didn't think the City could afford,
the land at this time.
The parcel contains nearly
three acres, in the vicinity of
Fourth Street.
Public Land Trust may have-


found a way for the City to afford
the choice piece of property. The
only stipulation is that it must
use the property for a park, play-
ground, or other approved public
use. The organization is also able
to arrange for grants in the
amount of whatever the property
is valued at by AIA appraisers.
The City would be responsible for
funding the excess if the owner

jured two men and caused anoth-
er to come near drowning.
Terry Luckie, Mark Anthony
Weeks and Mark Kelso were all
thrown from the boat they were
riding in on the Cut-Off. The boat
apparently struck a submerged
log. Luckie suffered head injuries
and a punctured lung and Weeks
had head injuries from" the mis-


hap.
Kelso didn't have a life pre-
server on and was just about to
go under when Harold Stewart of
Tallahassee pulled him from the
water. Stewart saw a floating gas
can from his dock, and heard the
men calling for help around a
bend. He answered the call for
help, just in time for Kelso.


Homestead Notices

Mailed Monday

A Homestead Exemption renewal card was put in the
mail Monday for every property owner who received the
tax savings benefits of home ownership last year, accord-
ing to Property Appraiser Kesley Colbert. Colbert said
the cards must be signed by home owners and returned
to him by March 1 to receive the exemption during fiscal
year 1993. 'We can't just mark you up for exemption just
because you had it last year. The State of Florida de-
mands that you ask for it by returning that card immedi-
ately."
Colbert said if you received homestead exemption
last year and did not receive a renewal card in the mail
during the past few days, you should contact his office in
the Gulf County Courthouse immediately or face losing
the exemption due to lack of activity on your part.
New home owners who have purchased homes during
the past year [prior to January 1,. 1993] are also eligible
to sign up for the benefits. "You just need to come to my
office, bringing proof of ownership and proof of Florida
residency and we will sign you up." Colbert said.
"Above all, don't put it off." Colbert concluded.


Gulf Receives Report

Giving School Critique

State Department Initiates Information
Packet to Aid "Blueprint 2000" Group


The Gulf County School ad-
ministrative staff received a re-
port as a belated Christmas
present, late last week, giving a
critique of the several schools in
Gulf County.
In a very voluminous report,
the State Department of Educa-
tion sent out the document to
give school planning committees
making recommendations for
"Blueprint 2000" a foundation to
begin comparing results brought
about by their activities.
The report shows everything
from how well a student, in the
particular school, is doing aca-
demically, socially, attendance
records, discipline methods, ex-
pulsions, free lunches, etc., in or-
der for the "Blueprint 2000" com-
mittees to draw some conclusions
about what can be done to im-
prove certain areas of a school.
SENT DURING HOLIDAYS
The State Department fin-
ished preparation of the reports
in mid-December and sent them
out immediately, arriving just in
time to lie in a post office box un-
til Christmas vacation was over.
Temple Watson, assistant to
the Superintendent, said the in-
formation in the report actually


came from reports and records
the various schools had filed with
the state during the past school
year. "It contained information on
the 1991-92 school year. Since it
was the first such report, we have
nothing to compare it with to as-
certain any trends," Watson said.
Watson said he nor any of the
staff have had the report long
enough to go through and evalu-
ate it. "We can't compare our own
efforts but we can see if we are on
a par with other schools our size
throughout the state," he said.
Each of the five Gulf County
schools received -an individual set
of statistics for study.
PARENTS TO GET COPY
'The individual schools must
send a copy of the report to every
parent," Watson said. "The state
instructed us to do this by Janu-
ary 18, but due to the late date
we received the information, I
doubt if our school personnel can
get out the copies by this date,
but they will go out this month."
Watson said the schools may
add additional information to the
report if they wiph, but they can-
not leave. a.:g. out, which is
contained in the information fur-
nished by the state.

Dense Fog Covers City In Morning Hours
Dense fog has rolled in off St. Joseph Bay every morn-
ing this week to cover the Port St. Joe area and make
driving a little hazardous on Highway 98 Monday and
Tuesday. The fog was usually gone by mid-morning, as


the weather warmed up and the sun appeared. In the
meantime, more than one car had a dead battery be-
cause the lights were not turned off when it was parked.
The scene in the picture was taken at the Highland View
Bridge, where the pea soup was especially dense, where
the bridge crosses the Gulf County Canal.

Evictions

The Gulf County Commission has served notice on the
School Board to vacate the space they now occupy in the Gulf
County Courthouse by October 1 of this year.
We think that is not enough time for the School Board to lo-
cate other quarters and the time should be extended by at least
another year.
Consider, if you will what is involved, besides more taxes to
pay for more space elsewhere.
Say the Board opts to rent other space. Of course there will
be the rent to pay and rent for the kind of space they would need
doesn't come cheap. There are also utilities to pay and they can
be as expensive as rent. We haven't saved enough tax dollars,
vacating their Courthouse premises, to make up the difference.
Besides, the Courthouse space will not sit idle and unoccupied.
Something will be placed in this space.
Well, we get right back to more taxes, don't we, before even
considering other matters of inconvenience.
Taxes for rent and taxes for utilities at a time when dol-
lars are hard to come by. We are told the Courthouse is crowded
and the offices there could use some more room. They could also
make do with what they have for a while longer, too.
If the School Board is required to move to different quarters,
they will need to consider two options: rent or build. Either way,
it will cost big bucks. The tax payers can expect to be hit for at
least another mill. If a new building is decided upon it will take
longer than October 1 just to get it started. If they decide to rent,
instead, there aren't many places currently rentable which can
accommodate the School Board. Building an office would mean
a selection and purchase of a piece of property, selecting an ar-
chitect, approval of plans, taking bids and a time for construc-
tion, all of which won't happen in nine months.
Another option would be to divide the offices up into several
buildings and scatter the offices all over the County which would
be less than desirable. The School Board offices need to be in
one location for convenience of operation.
The alternative? Go ahead and serve the notice, if you think
you must, but expand that deadline a bit in order to allow the
School Board time to explore its options. Even if it takes a
couple of years. The County certainly won't suffer because of it
and taxpayers just might save a buck or two.



A Desperate People

Our troops are in a foreign nation once again, trying to bring
order' out of chaos and keep an entire nation from self-
destructing. Somalia is in danger of doing just that. They're
working at it, with some putting forth more effort at self-
destructing than others.
Our troops went ashore in that unfortunate land, unop-
posed, to bring medical aid and food to the people. Nations all
over the world have been sending food to Somalia, but unscru-
pulous war lords and selfish people have been preventing the aid
from being distributed to their brothers.
The Somalian people have nobody to blame for their condi-
tion but themselves. Still, they are human beings who need help
and our nation has committed its resources to force feeding the
people who are starving because of a lack of leadership. Their
condition is being aided and abetted by their own people and
that makes their situation doubly unfortunate.
Now, the Marines report they are undergoing sniper fire. The
Somalians are stealing every piece of equipment which isn't
nailed down. They are meeting resistance at every turn from the
Somalian people. Their first reaction must be to pack up and
head for home. Who needs that type reception when you are
bringing them the source of life?
Old Uncle Sam-being the "Uncle" that he is-is going to con-
tinue his errand of mercy and feed those people, and give them
medical aid, and carry supplies, under guard to the point of use,
If it kills them!
We can't understand the mind-set of the Somalian people
and others of that neighborhood. They have had so little for so
long, they don't know how to assimilate aid and use it to its full-
est- extent. Some of them are still operating under the rule that
you get all you can today because it will be gone tomorrow.
It must be tough to live in an area where one kills without
thought to obtain a crust of bread. It must be tough to expect to
see your children starve until they become walking skeletons.
It's taking into consideration how very desperate these people
really are for survival that causes the Marines to stick to the
task at hand.


Hunker Down with Kes


Kesley
Colbert







I hope you didn't buy your
child a Nintendo for Christmas.
The one we picked up for the
boys a couple of years ago has
been nothing but a source of ag-
gravation and I've never even
played the thing!
The game really zapped me a
month or so ago. I'm passing
Jesse's room, minding my own
business, when I hear him yell. I
thought Josh might be working
him over with a baseball bat. I
bolted into the room, heart
pounding "Jess, you o.k.?"
"Sure, Dad. I whipped Star
Man Galactil IV and creamed Pete


'Dad, My Thumbs Are In


Better Shape Than You!"


and Joe Mario, and was just
about to the fifth level when
Greech Creature hit me with a
super charged Karonaka Jolt. I
think the controls jammed. We
need a new Nintendo. This one is
all messed -"
I closed the door. I've got to
have a long talk with that boy.
This thing needed to be nipped in
the bud. And quickly I called for
a family forum right after sup-
per.......
"Can you make it snappy,
Dad? I'm expecting an important
call from Wewa."
'Yeah, Dad, I didn't turn the
Nintendo off. I've only got it on
pause. I found the silver sword
and I know where the secret door
is locat-"
I clamped a hand over his


mouth. 'That's why I've called
this meeting! There's too much
Nintendo around here! It's not
healthy! Jess, you need to get out
and exercise. Run a little bit. Lift
a few weights. You need to get in
shape. Why, when I was your-"
"Dad?"
'Yes, son,"
'This is a family forum, re-
member? We all get to speak."
'That's right. You go right
ahead." I was kind of proud of
Jess. He was finally participating
in our forum.
"Well, Dad, I don't know what
kind of shape you were in when
you were my age, but today, you
look a little soft around the mid-
dle."
Why that little punk. LET ME
GET MY HANDS ON HIS


THROAT........ Cathy got between
us. I got mad at herl I saw that
little amused, you're-the-one-
who-called-this-meeting smirk on
her face.
"Josh, best buddy. Tell these
two what kind of shape I'm in."
"Dad, you do look a little
heavier. And remember this sum-
mer, you'd Ditch about ten min-
utes of batting practice and then
go to huffing and puffing."
"Honey," Cathy was outright
laughing now,' "you have had
some sand to shift in the last few
years."
I started running the next
morning. I went about a quarter
of a mile and fainted. I'm never
having another family forum........
Bill Cosby is the guy I need to be
choking.
The next time out I got near
about three blocks from the
house before thil bear jumped on
my back. Ronnie came by and
throwed me in the back of his
pick-up and carried me home.
My wife suggested a Soloflex
machine. You've got to be kidding!
You ever seen the guy in those
commercials? I could work out
until the 21st Century and I'm
not going to look like that. Where
do they find those people? And
the girl that works out on the So-
loflex, I don't believe she lives
around here. I need a machine
that a fat guy can use.
The third week I completed
my first mile. But Josh and Jess
wouldn't let me count it I
crawled the last 300 yards.
Cathy suggested a treadmill.
No way! I've heard stories about
people who got on those things
and couldn't get off. The machine
captured them. They ended up
like poor ole Charlie in that King-
ston Trio song. He got on that
subway in Boston and it's never
stopped he's still riding.......
I bought a pair of running
shoes. You can't get any more se-
rious than that. I tried to get a
couple of my friends to run with
me. They laughed and said it was
my family forum.
The pain in my knees keeps
me from sleeping most nights.
But I ain't going to let this thing
whip me. My New Year's resolu-
tion is to go five miles and to
make it back home on the same
day that I left.
Cathy suggested a low impact
Jane Fonda workout. I threw up
on her living room rug.
So if you bought your child a
Nintendo for Christmas, hollar at
me in a couple of months, I'll run
with you.
I called Leon. If there's an
easy way to exercise, he's found
it. "Leon, do you run or work out
any?"
'Yes, I do. I run 200 yards
twice a week."
'Two hundred yards? Why
200 yards?"
'Well, I figure by then it's ei-
ther caught me or I've gotten
completely away."
Respectfully,
The Running Machine


If You Burn the Blackeyes, Is That A Portender of Bad Luck?


DO YOU SUPPOSE there is
anything to the old tradition that
to have good luck all year long
one should eat a generous help-
ing of blackeye peas and hog jowl
for dinner on New Year's day?
Heaven knows, I can use all
the luck I can get these days. It
takes luck and know-how just to
get along and be able to pay one's
bills. If that's all it takes to have
good luck all year long, I hardly
see how one could expect to find
a single package of blackeye peas
at the store. There would be a
run on the tasty legumes by peo-
ple wanting to. insure a prosper-
ous and lucky New Year.
It might be the way you fix
the blackeyes which conjures up
the luck they are supposed to im-
pose on the diner.
Frenchie fixes the blackeyes
by simmering them a long time
after she has deposited a gener-
ous portion of hog jowl [in addi-
tion to piece of ham or pork
chops] for the seasoning. She will


serve them over a fat slab of pip-
ing hot cornbread, or on top of a
mountain of white rice and lace
the whole concoction with pickle
relish or sweet pickle bits.
That's as near to good luck as
I would want to get; but it lasts
for only one day, though!

IF EATING THE peas brings
good luck, after they are prepared
in the proper "good luck" manner,
then what do you get if one lets
the peas burn?
Oh, nowl It's almost sacrilege
to let a perfectly good pot of
blackeye peas burn! How do you


do it? Ask Frenchie. I think her
secret is to put them on the stove
to cook and then get to fiddling
around out in the yard and the
rascals will boil dry.
That's what happened at our
house. The peas and the gener-
ous helping of hog jowl took on
the texture of a piece of charcoal
and the glass pot they were in is
henceforth a smoked glass pot. At
a point in time, the glass pot was
clear.
Burned blackeye peas put
out an odor which is uniquely
"eau de burned blackeye peas." It
is distinctive. It is unmistakable.


It is still with us as of this date,
and will probably linger long after
its welcome is worn out.
Luckily, we have our old
range hooked up in the laundry
room and that's where the peas
were being cooked.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT this
bad luck possibility. If there is
anything I don't need, it's bad
luckI We did everything possible
at our house to ward off the de-
mon of a New Year Day getting
even with a burned pot of black-
eye peas and hog Jowl.
Frenchie scurried around, af-
ter throwing out the offensive pot
of peas and got out another pack-
age of peas. She made a quick
trip to the grocery and begged for
another piece of hog jowl. She
then scurried back home about
an hour later and put on another
pot of peas. Frenchie always
takes the scenic route to town
and back, she never goes straight
there and straight back.


This time, though, she staved
off the bad luck with a sure-fire
stroke of genius. She changed her
recipe for cooking blackeye peas
and hog jowl. She put a couple of
quarters in the pot.
That's supposed to be a guar-
anteed source of good luck, she
told me. I didn't think so when I
bit down on one of those quarters
while eating a helping of the peas
a little later.
I guess it was a part of the
curse for letting the first pot
burn, but I didn't do it! I just bit
into the quarter.

LATER IN THE day, Frenchie
was pushing her luck by prepar-
ing the rest of the meal. After all,
one can hardly expect to sit down
to a meal of just blackeye peas
and hog jowl resting on a fat
slab of just-baked cornbread,
gently golden brown on top and
slathered with butter and a
generous helping of sweet pickle
bits reposing gently on top, with a
glass of iced tea.


So, there was other cooking
going on, after the debacle of
burning up the first cooking of
peas and the pot.
Frenchie was stirring up
some concoction in a large mixing
bowl and I happened through the
kitchen when she was mixing.
That stuff looked good! She
makes a sort of cornbread where
she puts a container of sour
cream and a can of whole kernel
corn in the mixture before she
puts it in the oven. It's good!
I thought that was what was
in the mixing bowl and put in to
question Frenchie about the dish
she was stirring up.
Whatever it was she was
cooking enough. It was a BIG
bowl, I'll tell you. We were going
to be eating that dish for a while!
'"What's that," I asked.
"'That' is a new broccoli
casserole dish!" she proudly told
me.
I shut up before I said. "I
thought for sure we had tried
them all!"

It Happened In 1992
Well, another year has come and gone and the world still turns.
I'm still here and so are you and that's more than some people can
say. I guess we're just lucky or unlucky, according to our circum-
stances. But, it's like a wise and knowing person once said: "Wher-
ever you go, there you are." No truer words were ever spoken, dear
hearts.
It's hard to remember everything of importance that happened
in 1992, but below are a few that I remember that affected me, my
family or the area in which we live (which can include the world at
large),
For the first time in our history a woman was elected president.
Actually Hillary Clinton wasn't on the ticket but her husband was
and he won. An announcement was made shortly after the election
that she (Hillary) would have much to say about what went on in
the White House. She had much to say about things that went on
before Bill was elected until the election committee decided they
had better keep her in the background until after the election.
I didn't know it until about mid-December, but 1992 was desig-
nated, 'The Year of the Woman." My goodness! I thought every year
was the year of the woman. Hey, I'm all for women, especially since
a woman is going to be one of the two running our country. She's a
lawyer, too, so I have to be very careful what I say for the next four,
years.
Here's an item that I'm sure will be of paramount interest to
you. Duke (the dog) Campbell ran away from home again and was
gone for three weeks before I discovered he was in the dog-jail. I
had to pay his fine ($50) and as part of his release he had to be ex-
amined by a doctor. The doctor bill was about the same as his bail.
I wished him a Merry Christmas and a happy and lucky New Year.
If he gets caught again, in there he will stay!
On April 1, 1992, we sold our business, lock, stock and barrel.
It was a good business, and one that we took extreme pride in, but it
had reached a point that we either had to invest more and expand
or sell, so we sold. We are still very thankful for all the people who
helped us while we were in business here in Gulf County.
In August our daughter left home to enter college in Pensacola.

The Los Angeles riots made big rnews in 1992. Because a trial
didn't go the way some people thought it should, they decided to
burn down a city and kill about 40 people. Ain't no way it makes
sense to me, but who am I to judge
Our hot water heater,pilot light went.out six times during 1992
and the pilot light on our furnace went out three times. The first
time the hot water heater light went out was on a Sunday after-
noon. It cost me $35 to have it re-lit. I learned a lot about pilot
lights during the year. I also stocked up on matches.
Robert Marion (Coach) Craig passed away Thursday, November
12, 1992. To say he was a colorful character is a vast understate-
ment. He was one of my favorite persons and I will miss him. There
will be an article about him later this year.
Speaking of the year of the woman, my wife survived another
year teaching school. Some of you may not think that's much of an
accomplishment, but it's more than I could have done and many
other men I Inow.
All in all, 1992 was a very good year. I hope 1993 is much bet-
ter foi you and yours.: -

Pageant Saturday Night at PSJES


Seventeen young ladies will
be on stage Saturday night, going
through their Individual and
group routines as they compete
for the title of Outstanding Young
Woman for Gulf County. The pro-
gram, formerly known as Jr.
Miss, is a nationwide competition
for young women and is spon-
sored locally by the Senior Citi-
zens Association.
The program has been moved
from its customary performing lo-
cation, to the Port St. Joe Ele-
mentary School .auditorium, and
will begin at 7:00 p.m., sharp.
There are 17 young ladies entered
in the competition. Each contest-
ant has adopted an elementary
school student to be her "little
sister" during preparation for the
pageant. Since Outstanding
Young Women focuses on the im-
portance of academic excellence
in order to compete, the younger
ladies will be exposed to the
things they will have to do in the
future as they seek the title.
Contestants are evaluated on
their academic performance in
high school in the scholarship
portion of the program. The con-
test also emphasizes excellence in
fitness, creativity and in human
relations. Half of the procedures
are conducted "behind the
scenes". in the judges' interview

of their score. The other 50 points
are earned by their composure,
presentation, creative and per-
forming arts and physical fitness.
More than 20,000 young
women, nationwide, enter the
program each year, with more
than 1,000 winners participating
in 50 states. The national winner
is taken from the state winners in
a pageant conducted in June.
The Senior Citizens are spon-

year in a row, with Jerry Stokoe

The City must also pay for
the AIA appraisal and a survey of
the property, whether or not they
finally end up as the owners; a
gamble of approximately $4,000.
After considerable discussion
about the matter,' the Board
unanimously agreed, to gamble
the $4,000 for a survey and ap-
praisal, but agreed to pay only
the amount of the appraisal for
the property. Public Land Trust
can arrange' a grant for up to the
amount of the appraisal.
RECEIVE BIDS
The City received bids on'two
new pieces of equipment, Tues-
day; primarily a new fire truck to
replace the aging yellow pumper
purchased some 15 years ago.
Four bids were received on
the new pumper, ranging from
$104,000 to $122,311. The bids
were taken under consideration
to see if the Vehicles'offered in the
bids fully meet the City's specifi-
cations, delivery date, terms of
purchase, etc.
One bid, from Harless Fire
Equipment of Birmingham, Ala.,
was for a demonstrator vehicle,
and was the lowest bid presented.
The City put but bids on an
emergency basis in December
when the old truck began to need
repairs. At the time, it was uncer-

would take so the bids were word-

trucks a supplier might have if it
was necessary.
Usually a fire truck takes
three to four months to receive
delivery and Tuesday's bids were
no exception. One bidder even
had a delivery date of six months
on his machine.
The Board also received eight
bids for a new mowing machine

If you have a high school di-
ploma and can complete basic*
training, the U.S. Army just
might have a flight suit your size.
The Army is offering qualified
individuals, both men and wom-
en, an opportunity to train as hel-
icopter pilots through its Warrant
Officer Flight Training Program
(WOFT).
'WOFT Is one of the most
physically demanding, mentally
exacting and emotionally, draining
training programs a person can
experience," said Lieutenant Colo-
nel Jamiel S. Saliba, commander
of the U.S. Army Recruiting Bat-
tallon, headquartered in Mont-
gomery, Alabama. "The training
has to be 'tough. It provides the
Army with trained aviators who
are capable of handling the awe-
some firepower and technology of
today's military helicopters. It is
also one of the most exciting and
rewarding challenges in today's
Army."
Following. basic training, the
applicant who qualifies for War-
rant Officer Flight Training will be
assigned to the Army Aviation
Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama,
and spend six weeks at the War-
rant Officer Candidate School.
Graduation from WOCS means
appointment to the rank of War-
rant Officer One (WO-1) and the
beginning of $285,000 worth of
flight training.
Flight school starts with the
UH-1, "Huey" helicopter and the
newly appointed Warrant Officer
spends 20 weekly learning to fly
it. This training includes day and
instrument flying as well as time
in a highly advanced flight simu-
lator where students further re-

fine their skills. They then spend
16 to 20 weeks learning Army
combat skills while flying the
Huey, .Blackhawk, Cobra or
Kiowa helicopter.
"We are proud of the increase
in the number of women and mi-
norities who are enrolling in the
WOFT program," said Saliba.
'The opportunity to become a


Warrant Officer aviator is an ex-
panding role for women and you
don't have to have any prior skills
or experience. The Army gives
you all the training you will
need."
Army Warrant Officers enjoy
the same benefits as commis-
sioned officers and will spend
their entire career flying helicop-,
ters. Their initial salary is $1,467,
in addition to a quarters and sub-
sistence allowance, each month.
Both the active Army and the
Army Reserve offer the WOFT pro-
gram.
"In 1911, the Army's air
strength was one pilot and one
plane," said Sallba. "In order to,
'an today's flying fleet of'some'
5,000 aircraft, it takes more than
a desire to fly. It requires the
strength to lead, the composure
to keep cool under pressure and
the overwhelming drive to suc-
ceed.
"If you believe you have the
'right stuff to become an Army
aviator,' visit your local Army Re-
cruiting Office or call 1-800-727-.
1516 to find out if yotu qualify,"
said Saliba.

SJulian Webb Re-Elected


to Third Term of FLIHC


Julian Webb has been re-
elected to a third term on the
board of directors of the Florida
Low Income Housing Coalition
(FLIHC).
Webb, president of a grants
consulting firm headquartered in
Chipley, is one of only three per-
sons on the 25-member state-
wide board representing rural
areas.
FLIHC has been a driving
force in Florida's progress toward
providing affordable housing for
its residents, especially those in
the low and moderate income
brackets, ,Webb said. The Coali-
tion was a significant player in
the passage of the William Sa-
dowski Affordable Housing Act
which includes the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership Program
(SHIP).
The SHIP program will pro-
vide $250,000 annually to each of
' Florida's rural counties. These
funds will be used to provide
housing assistance to lower in-
come persons in a multitude of


ways, Webb said. The SHIP pro-
gram provides for housing, assis-
tance in the form of the new
housing construction, rehabilita-
tion, repair, and financing pro-
gram, the veteran consultant not-
ed.
Each county is required to
appoint an advisory committee
which must include persons from
the areas of banking, home build-
ing construction, labor, real es-
tate, and low-income advocacy.
The committee will assist the
county in preparing its local
housing assistance plan.
Area counties which will re-
ceive the annual entitlement of
$250,000 include Calhoun,
Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes,
Jackson, Liberty, Wakulla, Wal-
ton and Washington.
FLIHC will host several work-
shops regarding the affordable
housing act. Sites include
Gainesville, Chipley and Sebring.
The Chipley workshop is slated
for January 21 and 22 at the
Washington-Holmes Vo-Tech

with Renewed Vigor
WES teachers looked all re-
freshed Monday morning after a

back was the refreshments pro-
vided by Becky Birmingham, Deb-'
bie Baxley, Sue McDaniel, Joe
Walker, Bryan Baxley, Teresa
Redd, and Marge Prange. It was
the monthly Hoopla Social which
is always a nice time to relax. Af-

It was just like watching 'a

Teachers PatsyWLister, Pam Sum-

Taunton have started ordering
new furniture. We're all excited
about this new addition to our fa-
cility.
Teacher Lori Price Returns
Lori Price, who was on leave,
has returned to school. Besides
lots of goodies in her Christmas
stocking, Lori had a really nice
gift, a new son, Colton. When he
was born, someone wrote a sign
on the office counter announcing
his birth. In their haste, they had
crossed both the "I" and the "t"
making it look like his name was'
"Cotton." Knowing Lori as we do,
we thought that was a clever
name too. It is, however, Colton,
and he is a little doll. Welcoming
him home were brothers Caleb
and Stevie. Congratulations.

Even though baby Jessica is
only one year old, WES school

Musical Set
If laughter is truly the best
medicine, then audiences who
see Lend Me A Tenor will leave the
theatre reeling from an overdose
Winner of two Tony Awards, four
Drama Desk Awards, and three
Outer Circle Awards,. Tenor is
filled with fast-paced frivolity. The
award winning comedy will be
presented by the Bay Arts Alli-
ance at the Marina Civic Center
on Sunday, January 17 at 7:30
p.m. CT.
The fun begins in Cleveland
at an opera charity event. The
star, the world's greatest tenor, is
unexpectedly much too indis-
posed to perform. With a newly
appointed tenor and the suddenly
recovered star both waiting in the
wings, confusion escalates into
outrageous comedy. Lend Me A
Tenor is an irresistible farce, com-
plete with swooning females,
slamming doors, mistaken identi-
ties, secret conniving, romantic
mishaps and non-stop laughter.
The original tenor, an internation-
al opera star, has come to Cleve-
land for his American debut in
the Cleveland Opera's production
of Verdi's Otello. The local impre-,
sario has sold thousands of tick-
ets at outrageous prices for what
is suppose to be the greatest
night in Cleveland's history. And
every culture vulture in town is

People who dump trash or

aren't only polluting the environ-
ment, they're damaging the habi-

Wildlife.
That's one of the reasons why
Wildlife Alert, a 24-hour toll-free
hotline, was created by the Flori-
da Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission. Through Wildlife.
alert, sportsmen and nature lov-
ers can report illegal hunting,
fishing and environmental law vi-
olations directly to wildlife au-
thorities.
: "Since the implementation of
Wildlife Alert, we've made over
11,000 arrests," Inspector Kyle
Hill, Division of Law Enforcement,
said.
Wildlife Alert was created in
1979 to increase citizen participa-
tion in apprehending violators of
Florida's laws regarding wildlife
and fresh water fish. Environ-
mental violations were included
in the program in 1989. Some-
thing as simple as a license place
number or description of the vio-
lator can make a tremendous dif-
ference in making an arrest.
Callers who provide informa-
tion leading to an arrest can re-
main anonymous and will not be
required to testify in court. They
even may be eligible for a reward.
'"We've paid out over
$175,000 in reward money, but
most people who report violations
don't want a reward. They just
want the violators caught," Hill
said.
Persons who witness wildlife
violations or suspect illegal wild-
life activities should call Wildlife
Alert at the following numbers:
South Region: 1-800-282-
8002
Central Region: 1-800-342-
9620
Northwest Region: 1-800-

Northeast Region: 1-800-342-

tax-deductible contribution to the
reward fund, can send donations

Some Ways Not

to Remove Ticks

from Your Kids

S -By
Elizabeth C. Jones, M.D.

Many discussions have been generated about the best way to
remove ticks. Some people advocate painting with fingernail polish
to suffocate the tick and cause it to fall off. Many advise a lighted
match or cigarette lighter with heat to cause the tick to release its
hold. Some apply ether or chloroform to anesthetize. These methods
are not the best way to remove ticks.
Recent investigations have "discovered" it is best to remove
ticks by steady, gently traction. This can be done using tweezers or ;
gloved fingers (to avoid smearing blood from an engorged tick).
The problem with steady, gently traction to remove ticks comes
when one gets impatient. It seems as if the tick will never release its
grip, but persistence always pays off and has, in my experience, al-
ways been successful.
It is important to remove the entire tick including mouth parts
which can be deeply embedded in the skin. Retained mouth parts
can cause an infection or, if a tick has caused tick paralysis, a par-
alysis can continue because the mouth parts were retained.
The ticks most commonly associated with tick paralysis are the
Rocky Mountain wood tick and the American dog tick.
The tick associated with Lyme Disease is the tiny deer tick.
Most people, think nothing of removing ticks from their animals
in the approved method, but will often not carry their knowledge
over to the care of their children.
First prevent all tick exposure possible by dressing your chil-
'dren protectively when they are going into the woods. Second, in-
spect carefully .for ticks when at home, and third, remove ticks by
gentle, steady traction.

no exception.
Amidst the red, white and
green decorations that have al-
ways been a tradition in the lives
of the elderly, good times and
cheer abounded throughout the
season.
There were schools, each and
every one from Port St. Joe,
which came to offer fruit baskets,
cards of cheer, and many bless-
ings through their beautiful faces
and voices as they spread the
message of Jesus' birth. It goes
without saying that the churches
in Port St. Joe did the same. The
outpouring of Christian love
through giving to others is one
thing no one ever has to doubt in
this community. Some say "that's
their duty" but BSJCC staff say
"so be it" at least they fulfilled
that duty. No one asked them
and certainly, no one twisted
their arm. It was given freely,
with only the best interests of the


residents in mind.
The Care Center would like to
thank all those who contributed
to the Christmas celebration by
name, but the list is long and the
Center would not want to leave
anyone out. Each and every one
is special. It is hoped you re-
ceived back the same pleasure
and blessings you bestowed.


Card of Thanks
Members of the Beach Bap-
tist Chapel Choir would like to
say a special thank you to Terry
Wimberly. Wimberly, from Cove

devoted his time in helping
present '"While Shepherds
Watched", a Christmas cantata
which was followed by a covered
dish supper that was enjoyed by
over 60 people members and
guests. Both were a great suc-
cess. A wonderful worship time
together was followed by great fell
lowship, good food and of course,,
those tremendous goodies which,
add all those holiday pounds tq
each of us.
Beach Baptist Chapel ex-
tends an invitation to those 'of
you who don't have a church
home to worship with them on
Sunday at 9:45 a.m. for Bible
study, 11:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Wewahitchka

High School
By Larry A. Mathes

WELCOME BACK!
It always amazes me how many students I meet towards the
end of a long holiday who are ready for school to start back. In, most
cases. I suspect they miss seeing friends more than they miss class-..
I took the opportunity to visit a daughter who lives near Chica-
go. We were lucky to catch some "good weather" by Chicago stan-
dards. That means no snow or freezing rain. It just stayed about
35*-40* and drizzly the whole time. I'm so proud some people like to
live there I keep thinking how crowded it would be here if they all
moved south
The second semester is underway, and that means the mad
dash to squeeze in everything that has to happen in the Spring of
the year too many to list. The winter and spring sports schedule
provides some type of game or meet Just about every day or night.
Then; plan for the prom, the many banquets, special test dates,
senior trip, and so on.......... It all falls into place gradually.
Report cards for the first semester are due January 13th. As al-
ways there will be some students who will receive a failing grade be-
cause of the absence policy. Parents need to be aware that if the ap-
peal process is not- followed, the failing grade stands and the course
must be repeated.
Students are already asking when their next vacation days will
be, and the answer is February 18-19, inservice days, and then two
more in March (11-12), and then spring holidays (April 5-9).
Let's all keep focused on staying in school and learning the
State of Florida will be checking on us to see how well 'we're doing.

Young children's curiosity,
combined with their desire for
crawling and pulling up while
learning to walk, can lead to dan-
ger when large buckets are used
around the home. Buckets con-
taining even small amounts of
water or other liquids can pose a
drowning hazard to children.
Various types of buckets and
containers have been involved in
child drownings. But, of particu-
lar concern are 5-gallon buckets
intended for commercial use that
are brought into homes by consu-
mers for re-use. The 5-gallon
buckets are usually white-colored
plastic that were originally in-
tended for industrial purposes.
Most of these buckets originally
contained bulk or commercial-
sized quantities of a variety of
products, including food, paint,
detergents and construction ma-


VA Offering

Scholarships
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is announcing. the
availability of scholarships for the
1993-94 school year for members
of the Selected Ready Reserves
who are interested in careers in
nursing, and occupational or
physical therapy.
The Reserve Member Stipend
Program provides financial sup-
port to associate degree nursing
students in their last year- of
study, and third and fourth-year
students in baccalaureate or en-
try-level masters' degree pro-
grams in nursing, occupational
therapy and physical therapy. Re-
servists must be members of the
Selected Ready Reserves and eli-
gible for the Montgomery GI Bill'
(Selected Reserve).
Recipients receive $400
monthly for each month of full-
time study. In exchange, partici-
pants agree to serve as a full-time
registered nurse, or occupational
or physical therapist in a VA
medical center for a period of two
years.
Individuals interested in ap-
plying can request an application
by writing to the Reserve Member
Stipend Program (143B), Depart-
ment of Veterians Affairs, 810 Ver-.
mont Avenue, N.W., Washington,
DC 20420, or by calling (202)

beginning In the fall term.


trials.
Consumers frequently re-use
these types of containers for
cleaning and other purposes
around the home. But, parents
with infant children should be
aware of the drowning hazard as-
sociated with using these con-
tainers and take precautions to
reduce the potential for tragedy.
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) re-
ports that buckets have been in-
volved in more than 200 infant
drowning deaths nationwide
since 1984 19 of which were in
Florida. Also, many other chil-
dren have been hospitalized after
falling headfirst into buckets.
The CPSC found that most of
the drownings involved infants
less than 28 months old. Most ac-
cidents occurred when unattend-
ed toddlers crawled and pulled
themselves up and fell into a
bucket containing a liquid. Some
buckets contained liquid only a
few inches deep.
Parents are reminded that
even partially filled buckets can
pose a drowning hazard or cause
other serious injury. To reduce
the risk of child drownings and
injuries, parents should:
*Discard all unused buckets
or containers.
*Keep children in a visible
area, but away from housework
that involves the use of buckets
or containers.

A DANGEROUS
TYPE OF COUNTERFEIT


We are not talking about phony bills and coins that are
being illegally circulated but rather the potentially more
explosive problem of counterfeit drugs. This is presently on
the increase and it could lead to chaos in the marketing of
new drugs as well as resulting inevitably in a serious public
health hazard.
Counterfeit drugs are made illegally without any quality
controls and under the poorest manufacturing conditions.
The resulting drugs are sub-standard, more often than not
Without effective potency and subject to harmful
contamination. A pharmacy only purchases their stocks of
drugs from legal and licensed sources. You should also
follow this practice.

Madisonville, Kentucky
ripped off 51 points in the first
half to take a lead which the
Sharks were never able to over-
come Wednesday night, in the
championship game of the Gulf
County Classic basketball tour-
nament.
David Stone of the Kentucky
team led both squads in scoring,
with his 25 points. The Sharks'
Arion Nickson had 24 points for
his team. Both teams had six
three-pointers, but the Maroons
kept the Shark' big long range
gun, Jason Maxwell, from getting
set in his favorite spot.
Joe Price and Des Baxter
each hit two three-pointers for
the Sharks and Thomas and
Quinn each had one.
Toby Thomas added 16 and
Sandy Quinn had 14 and Des
Baxter 13 for the Sharks.
It was the 654th victory for
coach Don Parsons' team. Par-
sons is the winningest high
school coach in the state of Ken-
tucky.
The Maroons went through
the opposition in the Gulf County
Classic like a knife through hot
butter, but found the going kind


of rough when the Sharks took
the court to play the champion-
ship game.
Score by quarters:
Maroons 25 26 15 21--87
Sharks 15 21 14 31-81
PSJ-Price 2-0-6, Thomas 7-

team. Madisonville's Tamago Mat-
thews was named the most valua-
ble player in the tournament.

The Sharks pulled the feath-
ers of the Wakulla War Eagles
Tuesday evening on the Eagles'
home turf, downing them 71-57
in their first district game. In an
nearly identical score the junior
varsity also won their game, 73-
58.
Arion Nickson was the high
point man for the Sharks, leading
with 19, followed by Toby Thont-


ing license sales and a proposal
to sell licenses by telephone are
on the agenda.
The Commission will review
staff recommendations for fish
and wildlife regulations for 1993-

Gators Tame

Wildcatso
The Wewahitchka Gators
took to the hardwood for their
first game after the holiday break
Tuesday night, entertaining the
Altha Wildcats.
Maybe "entertaining" was a
bad choice of words, because the
Gators completely demolished the
Wildcats in a 72-51 blow-out.
Marcus Lawton put up 24 of
the Gators' 72 points, including
two three-point goals. Chris Col-
vin added 14 for Wewahitchka,
also scoring two three-pointers.
The Gators had a 26-18 lead
at half time, then went on to
score big in the last half.
The Gators will be at Poplar
Springs Friday.

Prepare Your Plants Now for Cold


Although we haven't had any
severe cold weather this winter, it
doesn't mean we won't have some
freezing temperatures within the
next three months. So be pre-
'pared. Through thoughtful plan-
fning you can minimize freeze
damage to your landscape plants.
Surprising as it may sound, loca-
tion has a lot to do with how well
plants tolerate cold weather.
Obviously, the most impor-
tant factors determining how bad-
ly a plant will be damaged by cold
weather are how cold it gets, and
how long it stays cold. But, we
shouldn't overlook the fact that
certain characteristics of the
planting site and its location
within the overall landscape, also


affect the degree of injury a plant
will receive during a freeze.
In this article I'll give you
some ideas about locating plants
in the landscape to help them tol-
erate cold weather. My informa-
tion was provided by Extension
Urban Horticulture specialist, Dr.
Robert Black, of the University of
Florida's Institute of Food and Ag-
ricultural Sciences.
In deciding where to plant a
tender landscape ornamental,
look for a spot with good air and
water drainage. Air drainage may
sound like a strange idea, but it
makes sense. We know that cold
air is heavier than warmnner air.
You don't want to plant a tender
ornamental in a low area where

Extension Notes
By
Roy Lee Carter
Gulf County Extension Service


the coldest air will collect and set-
tie. The location should be open
enough to permit air movement,
but it should be protected from
cold winds by other plants, hedg-
es, fences, or similar barriers.
Good soil drainage is always
important. If your plant is in a
poorly drained spot, it can suffer
root damage during wet weather.
This will make the plant more
vulnerable to cold injury when
freezing temperatures strike.
We also know that shade can
reduce cold damage. Plants in
shady locations will go dormant
earlier in the fall, and remain dor-
mant longer in the spring, than ;
plants in exposed locations.
Plants in some degree of dorman-
cy tolerate cold weather better
than actively growing plants. So,
from a cold protection standpoint,
a location under pines or other,
trees that give light shade should
be preferable for tender ornamen-
tals which don't need full sun.
Morning shade is particularly


*fiimportant. Plants which ;have
,been frozen will suffer less dam-
age if 'they thaw out slowly.
Plants exposed to morning sun
will obviously thaw more quickly /
than plants which have morning
.shade. For this reason, plants on
'the north and west sides of a
house usually will have less cold
damage than plants on the east
and south sides.
Finally, do everything you
can to keep your landscape
plants in good condition all year
long. Healthy plants resist cold
damage, and snap back after it
occurs, much better than un-
healthy plants which have al-
ready been damaged by insects,
diseases, or lack of fertilizer. So,
to reduce cold injury, plant ten-
der ornamentals in areas with
good water and air drainage, and
good air circulation. But, avoid
low planting spots and those ex-
posed to high winds. And, most
importantly, maintain strong,
healthy plants throughout the
year.


IP/Arizona Acquire


Norwegian Refiner


International Paper and the
Norwegian-based Peterson Group
have completed an agreement un-
der which International Paper,
has acquired the Peterson chemi-
cal division in Greaker, Norway.
The acquisition was effective De-
cember 31.
The Peterson facility refines '
tall oil, a byproduct of the paper-.
making process, for a variety of
industrial uses. Through its sub-
sidiary Arizona Chemical, Inter-
national Paper produces and

ucts based on tall oil, turpentine
and hydrocarbons. Arizona

Panama City, with nine manufac-
turing facilities. -
Arizona Chemical general
manager Manco -L. Snapp said
the acquisition allows Arizona
Chemical to provide.. improved
customer service and expand pro-
duction capacity in Europe.
'We foresee a good future in,
the expanding European market,.
and the Peterson facility puts us,
in position to grow with that mar-
ket," Snapp said. "The Peterson
Group chemical division, is a
modem facility with excellent
quality and a low cost position.
Our customers insist on consis-
tent quality of products and ser-


vice, and this acquisition will en-
hance our ability to satisfy their
needs."
Arizona Chemical, headquar-
tered in Panama City, is a leading
supplier of resins to the adhe-
sives, ink and chewing gum mar-
kets. The division also supplies
fatty acids, rosins, terpenes, and
their derivatives, in addition to
hydrocarbon and modified hydro-
carbon resins, to a variety of in-
dustries.
'Arizona Chemical has facili-
ties in Panama City, Pensacola
and Port St. Joe; Gulfport and Pi-
cayune, Mississippi; Oakdale and
Springhill, Louisiana; and San-
dame, Sweden in addition to the
new facility. Te division' employs

First Union Changes


Mutual Fund Name


The new year will bring a new
name for the Salem Funds, a
$2.5 billion family of mutual
funds available through First Un-
ion.
Effective January 4, 1993,
the funds will be called the First
Union Funds. Also in January,
two new funds, the U.S. Govern-
ment Portfolio and the North Car-
olina Municipal Bond Portfolio,
will be added to the family. The
new funds will make a total of
nine retail mutual fund portfolios
for which First Union's Capital
Management Group serves as in-
vestment adviser.
"Changing the name to First
Union Funds closely associates
the name of the fund with the
bank, bringing to bear the history
of exceptional service and high
quality associated with the First
Union name," said Marc Lieber-
man, First Union's mutual fund
vice president in the Capital Man-
agement Group.
The two new funds join the
seven existing First Union Funds:
Balanced;' Fixed Income; Insured
Tax Free; Tax Free Money Market;
Treasury Money Market; Money
Market; and Value. Federated Se-
curities is administrator and- dis-
tributor of the First Union Funds.


Investments in the First Union
Funds are not deposits or obliga-
tions of First Union, are not guar-
anteed by First Union and are not'
insured by the FDIC or any other
government agency. Fund share-
holders will receive a supplement
to the prospectus in connection
with the name change in a De-
cember mailing.
First Union's Capital Manage-
ment GroUp is the trust and, In-
vestment arm of. the bank. ,The
group offers investment manage-
ment and administrative services
to corporations for various pen-,
sion, profit sharhig: and 401(k)
plans, as well as individual trust
accounts, endowments and foun-
dations across the Southeast.
First Union Corporation is
the nation's 12th largest bank
holding company, based on as-
sets of $48.3 billion as of Septem-
ber 30, 1992, and operates 898
banking offices in Florida, North
Carolina, 'South Carolina, Georgia
and one banking office in Tennes-
see, and 200 nonbanking offices
in 36 states. When First Union's
pending mergers have been com- ,
pleted, the corporation will have
approximately 1,300 banking of-
fices and assets of approximately
$66 billion.

slan Gulf War. Before enactment
of the new law, reservists who
had served on active duty only for
'training were not eliglble for these
benefits. The law now makes eli-
gible all who have completed at
least 20 years of qualifying re-
serve duty.
In fiscal year 1992, VA pro-
vided 302,975 headstones and
markers for veterans a 9.3 per-
cent increase over the yearly aver-
age of 277,150 in the previous
five fiscal years. VA's National Ce-
metery System served more vete-


rans and their' next of kin in fis-
cal year 1992 than in any other
year since the establishment of
the program in 1862.
VA headstones and markers
are available in both the tradi-
tional upright, marble headstone
and the modern, bronze, marble
or granite flat marker types.
Bronze niche markerss are also
available.' Headstones and mark-
ers are provided automatically to
mark the graves of veterans in
national cemeteries and state vet-
erans cemeteries. Upon applica-
tion, they are also provided to
mark graves of veterans in other
cemeteries, including private ce-
meteries.
VA always provides for the
cost of. transporting the head-


-stone or marker. If interment oc-
curs in a private cemetery, how-
ever,' VA does not pay for the cost
of placing the gravemarker.
