I ;' happens llJ L e aI ou a oUcIu, loIml property'zoned "industrial" and the business operator, Bernie Kel- ler, has requested a variance. changing the designation to "light industrial", in order to accommo- date his proposed operation. Keller said he plans to manu- facture home water purifiers in the building next to St. Joe Hard- k ware warehouse on Williams Ave- nue. He said the operation is I clean, non-polluting, no noise and no odors. The main portion of'the process will use a mold in- jection process in which the shell of. the purifiers will be made of hard plastic. The remainder of his operation will be assembly of the purifiers. Keller said he had already purchased the Dale Machine Shop of Wewahitchka to be a part of the process and wished to gain the relaxation of zoning restric- tions so he could put his assem- bly in Port SL Joe with future plans to have a retail display along with the assembly opera- tion. Keller said his finnrm would em- ploy approximately a dozen peo- ple at the beginning. He plans to mai-ket the 'purifiers throughout the southeast The Commission said they *. woIld look at his.plans with safe- Styin mind, Irinludfng lire. and give Keller an answer either be- fore or by their next meeting date.

Party Gets Out of Hand A teen-age party attend- ed by several youths, result- ed in an act of destruction at Salinas Park at the east entrance to St. Joseph Pe- ninsula, Monday night, ac- cording to the Gulf County Sheriffs Department. Some of the youths al- leged to be involved in the affair were being questioned just before noon Wednesday, as The Star went to press. Captain Jack Davila of the Sheriffs Department said they didn't know as yet how many were involved or who they were. "We "don't think everyone at the party was in- volved," Davila said. The destruction is thought to have been per- formed by less than a half dozen youths who pulled up signs in the park and threw them on a bonfire. In addi- tion, some minor damage was done in the restrooms and the flagpole at the en- trance to the park was. pulled over with a pick-up truck. "Those things were ex- pensive," Davila said. 'We're estimating the damages at the park at something around $1,000.' The park was built in 1991 with a state grant. Pet- ty vandalism has been a con- stant problem to the nice beach-side facility.

The vessel's visit was the victim of the weather since its arrival last Thursday afternoon. It was scheduled to dock at Raffleld Fisheries and allow people of the com- munity to go on board and Inspect the sloop. High winds and heavy seas made it too dangerous for the boat to venture into tight places, such as negotiating the draw- . bridge. at. Highland View, so it had to anchor in Eagle Harbor for its entire visit to the Port St. Joe area. According to Harbormaster Billy Howell, who took the Sloop under his wing while it was here, winds were too high to even bring the boat to the paper mill docks. "The wind would have beat it to death against the docks," Howell said. Eugene Raffield of Raffield Fisheries helped the boat to negotiate the Bay and offered assistance in their film- ing operations. Filming of the documentary was scheduled to have started Monday, but high winds and stormy weather de- laye he: start-'until Tuesday afternoonwith -the session. drawing to a close Wednesday morning.

Police Nab Cocaine Dealer In Arrest of Calvin Johnson $21,000 Worth of Cocaine Taken In Raid of Home For the third week in a row, the Port St Joe Police Depart- ment have made a major arrest and solved a major source of crime in the City. Police Chief Carl Richter said this week the Department has been successful, along with the Florida. Depai tment of Law En- forcement and the Calhoun County Sheriffs Department, in arresting a major supplier of crack cocaine in the Port St. Joe area. "We were able to make a fed- eral case out of this arrest, be- cause the subject had so much powder cocaine in his possession and because of the conspiracy angle," Chief Richter said. "We won't get a revolving door prison sentence out of this one. He is 'facing a life sentence and a fine of $4 million." The Department arrested Cal- vin Johnson, 42, Friday evening at his home at 238 Avenue C. Johnson's dwelling was entered when he was served with a search warrant. Officers recov- ered:an ounce of cocaine powder, $9,000 in cash, property and a 1988 pick-up truck. Chief Richter said he was in the process of "cooking" a batch of cocaine when the arrest was made. The cocaine recovered had a street value of $21,000. Richter said several under- cover purchases had been made from Johnson, during the course of the month-long investigation, by different undercover officers. 'This is just one of about three major dealers we have in the vi- cinity. Were going to get them all before we quit," Richter said. Johnson is presently lodged in the CCA facility in Bay County as a federal inmate. He had first appearance before Judge Larry Bodiford Tuesday. Supervisor of Schools Walter Wilder an- nounced this week that a series of public for- ums will be held in Gulf County to "feel out the public reaction to a suggestion for changes to the school system." The changes were suggested by the School Advisory Committee, which is currently at work with the school administration and faculty to work out ways in which the Gulf County Schools can be improved. 'Their first suggestion is that we create a middle school in the Port St. Joe area and that we .convert the Highland View School into that middle school," Wilder said. "Along with the change it would be necessary to move the stu- dents currently attending Highland View MEle- mentary to Port St. Joe Elementary School," Wilder said. There are currently about 150 chil- dren attending .the school. Two different age groups have been suggest- ed for the middle school, if it is created. One would include sixth, seventh and eighth grad- ers and the other would include only seventh and eighth graders. "We're going to give the people adequate op- portunity to have input to this idea before we handle it," the Supervisor said. HEARING TIMES, LOCATIONS The public forums will be held in three ses- sions, in different locations of the County. The first of the forums has been scheduled for to- night [Thursday] in the Wewahitchka Elemen- tary School at 7:00 p.m. Central time. The sec- ond hearing will be conducted at the Highland View Elementary School Monday evening begin- ning at 7:00 p.m., Eastern time. The final hear- ing will be conducted at the Port St. Joe Ele- mentary School, Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. The decision to make Highland View a mid- dle school has not yet been presented to the School Board, nor has it been decided by any official body. It is merely a suggestion by the citizens' advisory group which is being brought to the people for their opinion. "All of this matter is very preliminary," Su- perintendent Wilder said. "Come give us the benefit of your feelings," he suggested. Morning Fire Guts Trailer An early morning blaze gutted this mobile home at Jones Homestead last Friday morning. The home was completely destroyed before Port St. Joe Volunteer Firemen could arrive on the scene. According to the residents of the home, the Walter Bowers family, they awoke to the smell of smoke and immediately got out of the burning home, calling in the alarm. The fire, of undetermined origin, completely gutted the mobile home leaving only part of the outside shell of the home standing. The fire was confined to the single dwelling in the rural setting, where water for extinguishing such fires is almost non-existent. Firemen John Ford and Richard Burkett play a small stream of water on a remaining hot spot after the main part of the blaze has been knocked down.

JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1993 System =-Mi.. &IA, ()n MEE THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18,1993 Hot Dggity! We Get to Pay More Taxes We now officially have the word, The middle :class and the upper middle class are going to continuee to catch it in the pocketbook for fi- :nancing every) dream the politicians have or "might dream up to furnish a utopia for every- -one in the United States and for all those peo- ple we can transport to our borders. We thought we had a little relief coming. Or, :we should say we dreamed we might just possi- :bly get some relief with the President's an- -nounced program of installing a program of re- -sponsibility. Everyone knows that the biggest portion of .taxes comes from the middle class. That's be- cause there are so many of them. It's true, they :earn the bulk of the money in circulation in the United States. Even being in this envious posi- tion, there is a limit to the largess of the largest earning group in the United States. President Clinton has now-announced what we already expected, even while he was telling -us the middle class would get tax relief. There is no relief in sight. Actually, there is only more of the same in sight, enlarged a bit. You can ex-' pect to pay more taxes and get less for.them. That was to be expected. We now have to pay back those easy bucks we were tapping the government till for in the past. It allowed us to live in utopia then, but it will cause us all to tighten our belts for years to come in the fu- ture. We hope Mr. Clinton spreads this burden among the rich and the poor also. We don't ex- pect the poor to pay the same rates as the mid- dle class, but we do not expect them to get the, same benefits as in the past from a population segment which is straining to pay the bill. The fuel which makes our system tick and work so well, is the thought that if one works hard, saves his money, is frugal with what he spends, he can have the good life. That is an impetus for people to work hard. If you remove that possibility of seeing better times by work- ing hard, you will discourage those who are burning the midnight oil. Already this is happening to a certain ex- tent. People 'are refusing to work overtime sim- ply because the bulk of what they earn is going to pay taxes. Very little is accruing to their own benefit. Another fly in k:he ointment is that firms are being taxed and .regulated out of business. True, some'are having problems with manage- ment, but the numbers are many, many more of firms being harassed by fees, permits, rules and regulations and unnecessary require- ments. We believe the government would be better served if reasonable regulations would be required of business and see that the stipula- tions are met by everyone. In a situation like this Savings and Loans by the hundreds wouldn't be going broke from mis-management while small seafood producers are faced with fines or jail just because they were frugal with their loans, trying to get the most for their money. Another Veteran Business Name Disappears A sad day in Port St. Joe. Sad for a few peo- ple; just another day for others. For 56 years the Hurlbuts have had their name on a business in downtown Port St. Joe. Now, they are incapacitated and must remove that name. A nephew is going to carry on a por- tion of the business, but somehow it just isn't the same. Port St. Joe has had a number of names in business here for years and had them disap- pear when the families have dwindled and the parents died or become too old and feeble to carry on the business as usual. There are some old names In the business world still carrying on, however, but some are under a new management. That word "new" is relative because some of those "new" owners have been active longer than the former owners of the business were. The Hurlbuts have operated dress shops, 5 and 10 stores, paint stores, fishing tackle, hardware. They have been here a long time. There was the Boyles family, whose business disappeared with them. The Nedleys, the Eells, the Lilius's, and others who don't come readily to mind. About the only long-time business families left in Port St. Joe are the Costin family, the Raffields and J. Lamar Miller Agency. They have been in business in Port St. Joe almost since there has been a Port St. Joe. Businesses which have been here a. long time, now operating under new management are St. Joe Furniture, Heilig Meyers [formerly Danley's] The Star, Buzzett's. Drug [formerly Miller's Drug Store], Campbell's Drug store [for- merly Carver's Drug Store], Pate's Service Cen-, ter and St. Joe Bar, all survivors of the 1930's. There are others who have closed their doors when the family operating them faded away such as Schneiders, Gulf Hardware Com- pany, to name a few. Port St. Joe has been kind to family- operated business over the past years. Possibly the reason their number is waniiqg is because not enough families wish to gotthrough the hardships of.building a business in the present business world. There are too many records to be kept for state and federal government. Too many restrictions and too many rules and reg- ulations. It's no longer possible to just work hard, keep reasonable records, pay your taxes and your bills. Of course there is a host of families still op- erating businesses in Port St. Joe which started in the early 40's or 50's which are still the backbone of the local business community. S'Hunker Down with Kes 1 A Ton of Red Roses ': y Kesley Colbert I remember when the week after Valentine's could leave you with a memory or two. Take for instance, 1963. I was a sopho- more in high' school, Just turned 14-and,. of-course, head over hills, in love. Brenda Whitehead had moved in from Rocky Mount, North Carolina and I thought she was soooo much prettier than any of the girls I'd been looking at for the past 10 or 12 years. Ricky was going steady with Pam. I think Yogi was just falling in love with Nola Purcell. Buddy and La- Renda were becoming an item and Larry had been going with Stsle Cozart for years. '' Now, I'm not counting Rollin Trull in there with us, He was the b1est looking guy in our class by far. And he had that black leather Jacket and that big Harley- Davidson.......... he didn't have to send no Valentine cards. Going steady was "in" in 1963. You must understand here, with the. exception of Rollin, didn't any of us have a clue about what we were doing. It just all of . a sudden became popular to have 4 girlfriend. About the only help I hliad was an older brother. "Kes, kind'a stay away from those girls that hang out down at the pool Wouldn't 'A Helped Buddy hall and for goodness sakes, don't go out with a girl that's got . pierced ears!" Leon really helped me through my formative days.. After sixteen years with either. a G.I. or a flattop, I was letting my hair grow out Yogi had come in one day at lunch and got to telling us about this group over in England called The Beatles. I'd never heard of them. He said they had long hair. And it .was cool. Hey, couldn't nobody at that table tole'ate un-cool. We all went to'd working' on our Beatle look right then....... Listen, If you're sweet sixteen, grooving on Chuck Berry and Bo Didley, got your acne halfway un- der control thanks to Stridex pads, in the midst of getting rid of that awful flattop and really, tru- ly, for sure, in love for the very first time in your whole life, Val- entine's is near 'bout made for you. I bought a box of Whitman Chocolates for Brenda. I didn't get the big box, that sucker cost $3.95. But I went as far as I could on my limited budget And I also had to get a card. I discov- ered the Hallmark folks at Can- non's Drugstore in February of 19631 I was in there for over an hour. You weren't going to get no "Be My Valentine" or "Love You Lots" kind'a card at a time like this. I wanted one that talked of. special love......that lasts forever. Ricky got Pam that one about every time he looks into her face the sun rises in the sky. I wish I'd a'seen that one first........ The card cost 59 cents. That was half what my candy costly Boy, being in love is expensive! But it was worth it. I wanted everything to be "Just right." I even asked-Leon about pre- senting my tokens of love in the appropriate manner. "Well, the main thing is to be alone. And make sure she opens the can- dy.... And try to get the 'one with the almond in it before she dde&W.b It was a special -Valefitihe week, it beat 'the heck out of cutting out hearts and presidents' heads. Brenda was pleased. I'd read the card she got me the day I picked hers out but I never let on. Yogi got flowers for Nolal Leon didn't tell me about flowers. When I got on him about it, all he said was, 'You haven't ever lis- tened to Bobby Vinton?" The fireworks began the day after Valentine's. Buddy didn't get anything for LaRenda. Ole Bud, I felt sorry for him. I also learned a valuable, life long lesson if it gets down to whether you ought to give a 'gift or not give the gift LaRenda was a mad as a wet hen! Pam told me she cried for two days. She was even thinking of, not marrying Buddy! That would be tragic, they looked so good together. I tried to talk to LaRenda. Whew, she was madder than a wet hen! She didn't say a (See KESLEY on Page 3) You Could Call Him A Hard-Bargaining Diplomat IT'S ALWAYS A pleasure to see something good happen to a good friend or one of the family. As little Annie Rooney used to say iii the comic books of a long time ago, "Gloryoskiel It makes you feel glad all over!" Of course, many of Annie Rooney's cliches were of a type to make one sick at his stomach, they were so saccharine-like. - I'm not one to be overly ex- pressive in such situations. A perfunctory, "Good Job!" or "Nice Going!" or some other such ebul- lRent utterance is as much as I can manage. I really am happy far the friend or the member of family,- but the sweet syrup-y phrases just don't come easy with me. Inside; I'm as proud as punch,. you understand, but the "apple juice and peach butter" Jfist won't come. I guess you could say I am reserved, or non- demonstrative, in such cases. , Maybe even a little difficulty with being demonstrative. BUT, I DEFINITELY want to go on record as letting you know that I don't think it could happen to a more deserving person. I'm talking about the Cham- ber of Commerce "Outstanding Citizen of the Year" award which went to Mayor Frank Pate last Tuesday evening. I've sat on that Commission Board with Frank Pate for a num- ber of years, and I know it can get downright uncomfortable at times. But Frank has never squirmed in the 22-plus years he has been Mayor. If things get rough, he just grins, lets out that . little chuckle, shifts his weight In his well-worn chair and tackles the problem. He's no Uncle Remus, but he' usually comes up with a solution to a problem which is acceptable to everybody. Maybe everybody isn't satisfied, but they can live with the situation. He is a master, of give and take. Everyone is treated alike. The man knows everyone between here and Two Egg. ,And /they., know him. He'll do anything to help anybody, whether they are special favorites of his or not. However, I have never seen any- body who didn't get treated as special favorites. , I take that back. I remember one person who kept coming be- fore the Board with agitating sug- gestions that they were being treated unfairly and making a general' nuisance of themselves. That went on for about a month or two and finally Frank just had to say, "--- ,. you have been coming before the Board with this same problem for .two. months now. Nothing we do seems to please you or be. like you want it. If we do what you suggest, you change your demands by the next meeting. Why don't you just tell us what you really want and let us take care of it, or just don't come back to this meeting any more. You're wasting your time and ours with all these petty grie- vances you keep coming up with." I swear, by all that's truthful. He told.a person Just that and do you know, suddenly their prob- lem was solved? But that was only once in 22 years. 'THE MAYOR IS a hard bar- gainer when it comes to the City's money. There have been many important looking people come before the Board carrying their brief cases with important sound- ing titles, offering the City "deals they couldn't refuse". But some- how or other our country boy Mayor from south Alabama, who pumps gas and sells tires for a living, has proved himself to be more than a match when it comes to getting the best deal for the City. I SHUDDER TO think how much it would have cost the City of Port St. Joe over the past 20 years, 'to operate the Wastewater Treatment Plant, alone, if it had not been for the mule-trading sixth sense of Mayor Frank Pate. Every time a new man moves into the offices of EPA in Atlanta or DER in Tallahassee, he seems to delight in coming to this "back- woods village" with the big city disposal plant to show how much he knows about waste water treatment, how much Port St. Joe seems to be polluting St. Joseph Bay and just how many hundreds of thousands of dollars he is able to assess in fines if the City doesn't make all the changes he demands. Well, the new fellow usually runs into Frank Pate, who has made it his purpose to learn about these things over the last 20 years and is usually able to teach the new expertt" a thing or two about treating waste water. And they usually like the man, because he didn't threaten or bluster as he dealt with them. ON TOP OF ALL that, I have found the man to be a totally honest person. That alone, is rea- son enough to make him "Out- standing Citizen of the Year". St. Joseph Bay S. Date Time Ht. Time Ht.

FEB. 18,1993 PAGE 3A Questions Wisdom of Allowing Homosexuals in the Military Habits Are Hard to Break I Many years ago I read somewhere that if you never smoke be-; fore yore e 21-years-old, you probably will never smoke. I've found, ,from my personal experience, that it is true. How many, people do, you know. who are 21 or over, who decided one day to 'take,;up smoking? If you know any, believe me. their combread ain't done The point is, of course, that habits hre hard to break, especially those formed in the early years. of life. This is especially true if a person has been doing something one way for a number of years, Ask any retired person what time they get up in 'the morning aiid chances are they will tell you they get up the same time they did When they were working. It's a habit. ,All of this leads up to the point I'm trying to make: I miss Shad SPhantry. We are all faced with decisions that we must make each day. S Some decisions are big and, fortunately, most are small. The deci- sion to remove Shad from the heading of this column was mine alone. I did it because I felt it was time for a change. (My older brother really pressured me into it. but I told him I wouldn't say that and I won't). I now firid that change for the sake of change is not always the best policy. There must be, in my opinion, a better reason to change the course of something, other than change it just to change It. Some wise and knowing person said it best when he uttered. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!" Shad would look at it this way: If you had.a cow that was giving enough milk to run the bucket over each morning and evening (for you folks who never milked a cow, they must be milked morning and evening) and the cream was about eight inches down in the jug. you wouldn't change her feed and put her in another pasture to feed for no reason at all, would you? No, you wouldn't. And It's hard for me to type the heading for this article because it doesn't seem right. When I en pn the paper to review the article from time to time, I find myself flushed with sor- row. not seeing Shad's name there in the heading. It's a feeling like walking into a room and catching your wife kissing another man. Shad and I had a good partnership; close, like a man and wife. I've heard that some men and women who are married for long peri- ods of time (It's not too often these days) not only think alike, but, often times, begin to look alike. o Shad and I don't look alike (he's better looking than I). but many times I see things from his perspective and I can relate them to you in a more refined and simple way. Shad is a constant remin- der to me to use the KISS method of writing: "Keep it Simple, Stu- pid!" I have no dreams of grandeur in the writing business. Writing this article is a hobby: my favorite hobby. Maybe I should, but I don't dress-It-up with big words to impress other writers or profes- sional people. I try to write so everyone can read the article with ease, like putting their feet into their favorite pair of slippers. And we must always remember who we are and where we came from, I think. So, with the editor's permission, next week's article will be un- der the heading, "SHAD PHANTRY' by Wendell Campbell. And it will remain that way forever... or, until someone offers me enough money to change it again. Shad Is a man of conviction, but he'wouldn't pass up a deal with profit in it! | ^ '.

Many of the young men and women of Gulf County will enter into military service upon completing high school. It is be- cause of this dedication to duty that I wish to bring to attention: several ways in which the people of Gulf County can let their voices 'be heard by the policy makers in Washington, D.C. Soon after his Inauguration, President Bill Clinton announced his decision to lift the ban which prohibits homosexuals from serv- ing in the armed forces. His moti- vation for this decision comes from his desire to remove what he considers to be a discriminatory practice. The Joint Chiefs of Staff of '"Kitty" Has Funds To the Editor: The teachers of Gulf County are asking for a raise. The School Board has a "kitty" of about 1/2 million dollars. This fund may be used for anything the School Board thinks is a priority. Why are we teachers not a priority in the education of your child??? This fund could give the teachers a raise without raising taxes and still leave some for those "educa- tional"' emergencies. We are not asking for money that is not there. We are just ask- ing that teachers become one of the priorities. We know times are hard and we teach because we love to, how- ever...teachers need more than apples Mary Blackburn the armed services as well as many congressional leaders ques- tion the wisdom of this decision at this time. They feel that this will create discipline, morale and privacy problems within the ser- vices. However you feel about this issue, your elected officials will not know unless you tell them. You can state your position by phoning the White House (202) 456-111, Senator Graham's office (202) 224-3042. Senator Mack's office (202) 224-5274 and/or Representative Peterson's office (202) 225-5235. You can also write a letter to these officials or call their Florida offices (the ad- dresses and phone numbers are in the phone book). Ultimately the sons and daughters of Gulf County who elect to serve in the armed forces will bear the burden of your fail- ure to make your voices heard. Sincerely, Randi L.

Dixie 'Youth:Field to remove a potential dangerous situation at the site. Mayor Frank Pate instructed recreation director Benny Roberts to get prices on about 200 feet of fencing for the park. Roberts also felt out the board about a request he received to start a boxing program in North Port St. Joe. Roberts said a responsible party had ap- proached him about conducting the program and furnishing a minimum of equipment Bill Wood, n Insurance agent, sent up a flag of warning, saying. "This is going to affect your liability insurance drastical- ly." Commissioner Edwin Wil- liams, a retired school adminis- trator, seconded Wood's concern saying the liability is the reason they didn't have boxing in the schools. The Commission decided to check their liability with the insu- rance carrier before giving a deci- sion on the matter. The Commission also served a 10-day notice on Mayhann Mo- tors to remove a small building from Reld Avenue, giving as their reason that Reid Avenue Isn't 'zoned for that type structure.

The Center will be built with donations of materials and labor, and' will serve the needs of the senior citizens of the area. The sign was donated by Boyer Signs of Port St. Joe. The center will be located' in the park area located between the drainage canal and Woodward' Avenue at Sixth Street.

As the years progress, we seem to have more and more "firsts" here at Faith Christian School. On February 10, 1993, we had our very first Faith Christian School Valentine's 'Banquet. The banquet was held at the Cheese Barn in Panama City. We were privileged to have David Jones come to speak to us on the topic of love. The food was excellent, and the activities were fun. Everyone left full and with a sense of encouragement. The first, second, and third grade classes attended a presentation of Cinderel- la at the Panama City Marina Auditorium on Wednesday of last week. The students had a front row seat to the whole production. It was great! Even though we are beginning to expand and do new things, we still have many things that we do each year. For instance, our an- nual candy sale has Just begun. The students at F.C.S. sell Her- shey's candy to raise money to fund the school and its programs. This is one of our largest fund-raisers of the year. If you would like to purchase some candy to help out the school or if you have a huge sweet tooth, you can get in touch with any of our students, and they will be glad to accommodate you. Remember... it is for a good cause. Some of our other annual events are the spelling bee and the science fair. The spelling bee was held on February 12. Jason Shoaf ,came in first place, and Chris Robershaw was the runner-up. The science fair will be held on February 19, and everyone is welcome to come by to look at the .students' exhibits. For information concern- ing the time, just call the office at 229-6707. Our Campbell's soup label contest is still going strong. For those who don't know what this is, it is a contest between the different grades at our school to see how many soup labels can be collected. The labels are then re- turned to the Campbell's Company in exchange for school equip- ment or supplies.. We invite anyone to donate soup labels so that we might be able to trade them for a laminating machine. Almost another six weeks has gone by, and it is about time for report cards to go out. The students will receive them on February 23, and I know everyone is looking forward to getting them.' _____ __________"_______i_ On Tuesday, February 9, af- ter 10 rounds of competition, Port St. Joe Jr.-Sr. High crowned a new spelling champ. Natasha Powell, a seventh grader, beat out 27 other contestants by spelling laundererr," prior to Millie Brown, the runner-up, missing "hybrid." The next word on the pronounc- er's list, "antidote" also had to be correctly spelled by Natasha. Seventh and eighth grade English teachers conducted pre- liminary rounds in their classes.

A Season of Remembrance Special to The Star By Ann Riley Fennell Black History Month is a time that has been set aside for us to remember great black leaders who had the courage to envision freedom, Justice, and equality for all mankind. Great African- Americans including Martin Lu- ther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Mal- colm X, Harriet Tubman, Frede- rick Douglas, and Carter G. Woodson paved the way for the creation of a world in which all men are not simply created equal. but are -treated as equals. This reason of remembrance implores us all to uproot the weeds of ra- cism, injustice, and violence, and sow seeds of peace, harmony, and Justice. It should not end with black history month, but continue until a world exists where every person has rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Nobody has defined what the dividing point is between middle class and upper class, but the proposed inheri- tance tax laws put most of us in the middle to middle upper class," Floyd said. One of the clues offered as to how much money or property places one in the upper middle class is offered in one piece of leg- islation which would reduce the non-taxable value of inheritable property from the present $600,000 to $200,000.

Floyd said there are ways to get around the confiscatory taxes, but a property owner can't wait until the last moment and expect to escape the heavy tax burden. Property owners are still al- lowed to give each child or spouse up to $10,000 each year and re- move the value from his estate for tax purposes, Floyd pointed out. There are other intricate means of avoiding the heavy taxes, also, but they are too complicated to explain to a lay audience and need the input of an expert. Floyd said his purpose in making the report was to alert property owners to begin taking steps now if they expect their in- heritance to go to the one they wish to receive it. "Otherwise, an estate may have to be liquidated in order to get the cash to pay in- heritance taxes with," Floyd said.

Walden, Acting Di- rector of Rural Development Ad- ministration's Southeast Regional Office, announced that the agen- cy is assuming responsibility for programs previously adminis- tered by the Farmers Home Ad- ministration (FmHA) in Florida. The Rural Development Ad- ministration (RDA) is a newly created agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which has been assigned the major responsibilities for car- rying out federal rural develop- ment programs and initiatives. Programs to be administered by RDA include rural community in- frastructure and economic devel- opment financial assistance. RDA was created by Congress in 1991 as authorized by the 1990 Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act. During the establishment of RDA's seven Regional Offices, be- ginning October 1, 1992, FmHA has continued to administer the programs for the new agency. The Southeast Regional Office, located in Alken, South Carolina, serves Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico and South Carolina.

Now, maybe the middle schoolers can settle down a little and get serious about their work. If you're into philosophy, a parent commented to me the other day that she thought the main reason some students have discipline problems is because they often have never been told "no" then when they ar- rive at school, they must face being told "no, you can't talk in class, or be in the hall, etc." Sounds like good logical thinking to me.

FEB. 18,1993 PAGE 3B Live Oaks Are Magnificent One of Area's Most Unique Trees, Long Lived, Pest Free Few of our native trees are as magnificent o; beautiful as a huge, old live ok. This long-lived, usually pest-free, species is among our most valuable and historic shade trees. Unfortunate- ly, homeowners confuse live oaks and water oaks and use them in: their landscapes, instead. The live oak is one of the most characteristic trees on this part of our nation. Live oaks grow in hammocks and along lake margins in every Florida county. A large live oak specimen may be 20 to 30 : feet around the trunk, with limbs spreading over 150 feet. Usually, they aren't more than 40 or 50 feet high. The bark is more; often grayish-brown, broken into urlform, narrow, flat- topped ridge The leaves' are dark green and shiny in the upper part of the tree often paler and downy on lower branches. Live oaks reproduce in the wild by seed and by vegetative means. Although they aren't showy, flowers are produced eve- ry spring, in March and April. Acorns mature in September and October. If they fall on a moist, warm site, they germinate quick- ly. Live oaks will sprout from the root collar, and from 'shallow roots of existing trees. When a tree is cut, or the trunk and limbs are destroyed, every main root may send up three or four sprouts. If these are mowed, new ones appear in even greater num- bers. This makes live oaks very hard to kill. It's a good bet that most of the historic trees in the southeast are live oaks. But, most are not as old as we think. As a rule, even the largest aren't more than two or three hundred years old. Some of the huge, slow-growing live oak specimens actually devel- oped from sprouts or groups of several trees, which grew togeth- er. This tends to make them look older than they actually are. Also, trunk circumference may depend quite a bit on where a tree is growing. The live oak so- ciety of Louisiana won't accept a tree as being 100 years old, un- less the trunk is at least 17 feet around. To reach this size in a hundred years, a tree would have to add two inches to its circum- ference every year. But, in Flori-. da's andy soil, live oaks may not grow thatfast. An increase:!in cir-.. cumference .of,- onle .to one-.-, and-one-half inches .. annually Isn't uncommon. Like many other trees, live oaks in the landscape respond to proper care. You can raise live oaks from seed, or transplant them from the woods. If you do a good job of root-pruning and top- pruning, you can successfully transplant a bare-rooted 'live oak CHILDREN HEALTH FORUM The Itch and Scratch of Chickenpox By Elizabeth C. Jones, M.D. With the flurry of chickenpox in the area, it might be good to re- view some of what we know about the disease and its management. A primary case *of Varicella-Zoster Virus disease is chickenpox.' Most people are exposed to this in childhood and have a relatively uneventful illness. After a primary illness, the virus remains around but dormant. If the virus becomes activated in later life, the person develops shin- gles. You will hear about children developing chickenpox after an adult has shingles same disease. The incubation period for chickenpox in a susceptible person is usually 14-16 days. It can be as early as 11 days or as late as 20 days. If you know your child has been exposed to chickenpox you be- gin watching for signs or symptoms'of disease about two weeks af- ter exposure. These signs and symptoms do not usually amount to much. A,slight fever and then a few red spots. The spots begin up around the head and neck and spread outward and down along the body extremities. The skin lesions are red spots about the size of the tips of your little finger. In the center of the red spot is a tiny blister that may not be obvious unless you look at the red spot at an angle. The spots itch. The children scratch and shortly there are red crusting sores. Baths with cornstarch, baking soda, and oatmeal have all been tried to help itching. Calamine lotion will bften help the itching and some people find Benadryl by mouth to help. You can keep an older child occupied by giving him a watercolor brush and letting him paint the sores with calamine lotion as they itch. This gives him something to do besides scratch.. People with chickenpox are contagious until they are no longer getting new sores and all the lesions are crusted over. Children can return to activities with all sores crusted, but often they feel strange about doing so and feel that other children will poke fun at them. They may elect to remain at home until all the crusts are gone. Patients with chickenpox should not receive aspirin because there is an increased incidence of Reye's Syndrome in chickenpox patients receiving aspirin. Instead of aspirin, Acetominophen (Tyle- nol) may be given for fever or comfort. Healthy children will usually not have complications after chickenpox. Problems can arise in several situations. The baby born to a woman who was ill with chickenpox in the first and early second trimester of the pregnancy, may be born with several differ- ent birth defects. 'If the mother develops the disease just before or Just after delivery, the baby can be very ill and some die. The most common complication of chickenpox in adults is pneumonia. Immunocompromised patients (children being treated for leuke- mias. cancer, arthritis, and AIDS) can become deathly ill with chickenpox. Fortunately, there are current treatments that can be used In these extreme situations. S.....Tere iscurrently a vaccine being licensed for use in the United States. Thls vaccine was developed and has been used for years in Japan. The vaccine is anticipated to be licensed soon and we expect chickenpox to go the way of diphtheria, whooping cough, and teta- nus. and disappear. k_ J [School Board Minutes] The Gulf County School Board met In regu- lar session on December 8. 1992 at 9:00 .m.

You will need to supply plenty of water for several months after moving your tree. SLive oaks in the landscape usually get some benefit from fer- tilizer applied to the lawn. But, you also can apply fertilizer di- rectly to a tree's root zone. Take a metal rod and punch holes in the 'ground about a foot deep and 18 inches apart under the tree cano- py. Stay at least a foot out from the trunk, to avoid injuring the roots. Make holes out to the drip line or just beyond, Then distrib- ute the fertilizer, in the holes. A tree needs about 25 to 50 pounds of fertilizer for every foot of trunk diameter.

Valentine's Is Big Day at Bay St. Joseph Valentines and sweethearts were abundant at Bay St. Joseph Care Center last week. Anticipa- tion and excitement were in the air as the Valentine party got into full swing. There were lots of goodies served. Valentine cards were passed out from' all over the community and even special heart-shaped cakes were served ,on each lunch tray. The cakes were brought in by the Highland View Assembly of God Church. The big event for the day was the announcement of the Sweet- hearts from each hall. The win- ners were: Annie Pate, Willie Ho- ward, Bessie Brinson, and Coy White. Special sweethearts are Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Doral. On Sunday, Valentine's Day, several churches put on pro- grams and treated the residents to all kinds of surprises. It seems the entire weekend was made up of special people making, other special people happy. Jastors Jim and Susan List POPS Takes" Valentines to Nursing Home The Highland View Power of Positive Students (POPS) Club made their first monthly visit to Bay St. Joseph Care Center on- Thursday, February 11th. The energetic fifth grade stu- dents shared their talents, fresh ideas, and most important of all, their interest in someone else, someone who needs them., The elderly residents were most ap- preciative of, the efforts these young people put forth and look forward to their next visit. Both the faculty of Highland View Ele- mentary and the parents of these students can be proud of their ac- tions. sweethearts forever: Jean and Wilson Doral. 'ch Opening A new church will open its doors for services beginning Sun- day, February 28. The Rock of Port St Joe will be located at 103 Garrison Avenue. This church, The Rock is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ, Himself, being the Chief Cornerstone (Eph. 2:20). According to Pastor List, The, Rock is non-denominational, even as the true Church is. God has brought: about the restoration of His Church in the prophetic anointing' and is restoring true government through the Apostolic ministry of the five fold office. The Rock is a part of seeing the Church of Jesus Christ move into maturity arid wisdom. This vision will be accomplished through weapons of praise, wor- ship, intercession and obedience to the Word of the:Lord .. Pastors Jim and Susan List look forward to the opportunity of ministering to you and your fami- In PSJ ly. For more information, con- tact the pastors at the church, 227-2003, or home, 647-3255.
