, 'y I ILLE AL~ INDUSTRY DEEP WATER PORT FINE PEOPLE SAFEST BEACHES IN FLORIDA FIFTY-FIFTH YEAR, NUMBER 45 PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1993 Middle School Plan Adopted School Board Gives Unanimous Approval of Plan for Both Schools FRED PRIEST ... Football Coach and Athletic Director NewFootball Coach Reports to Work Principal Wesley Taylor thinks Port St. Joe High School. has replaced an excellent coach and citizen with an equally good citizen and excellent coach in the short space of just over a month. With the surprise resignation of John Hicks at the close of the school year, in May, the search was on for a quality replacement, which Taylor says was the main attribute In the activity. "We have our man in Fred Priest," Taylor said this week, as Priest reported to Port St. Joe High School Tues- .day. ready for his new position. Priest comes to Port St. Joe after considerable experi-' ence as a head coach for 10 years in Colorado, a short . stint as-a college assistant at a Kansas. college, four and.,,a half years at Green Cove Springs as both an assistant and head coach. He has spent the past two years as an offen- sive coordinator under Bay High School head coach Jimmy Scoggins. GLAD TO BE IN PORT ST. JOE Priest, who brings a family with him, says he is glad to, , be a part of the "Port St. Joe winning tradition." The new head coach has a ;wife. Donna; two daughters, Harmony and Amber and a son Jeremiah.' Priest said, "I had heard of the Port St. Joe program while I was at Green Cove Springs. I went to see the Jack- sonville Bolles-Port St. Joe championship game in 1990, and was impressed with the team, I look forward to becom- ing a part of the program and the community." The coach was also impressed with the fact that of the last four men to coach football at Port St. Joe, three chose to 'That speaks well for the community as a great place to raise a family and become a part of the activities going on here," he said. GOOD CHARACTER AND ROLE MODEL Taylor said he checked Priest's character before he act- ed on his appointment. "I was more interested in what kind of example he would set for our young men than with his coaching ability, which also seems to be considerable," Taylor said. The principal said he feels as if the school and the community has a man for the position which will show enthusiasm for the game and concern for the community. Port St. Joe High School will divide into two sections when the 1994-9 school term begins, into a middle schco l and a high school. At a meeting held Tuesday afternoon, School Superintendent Walter V Ider was given approval from the School Board to proceed with making plans and ,securing designs of a new [to' Gulf Count r middle school concept for both Port St.i Joe and Wewahitchka high schools. Thb Wewa- hitchka renovation will not be rput into place until the 1995-96 school ye ,r. Superintendent Wilder had earlier pre- sented suggestions from both hi4 and the State Department of Education lo solve a desire from a committee of citizerns named to critique Gulf County schools. The com- mittee suggested a middle s hool be adopted, some six months ago, and the concept is now being put into mo ion. Wilder had suggested that. oie pod of Port St. Joe High School be mad' autono- mous, with its own entrance, sanitary fa- cilities, principal and staff. "Only such fa- cilities as the coliseum, music suite and library would be shared," Wilder said. "Every other operation, including guid- ance, would be self contained." STATE MONEY AVAILABLE Wilder estimated, from his studies and advice received, that the renovation of the pod to accommodate students froni grades seven and eight, would cost approximately $125,000. He identified the source of the funds as Capital Optlay, a source of funds provided by the State Department of Edu- cation, which can be used only for school construction and renovation. Wilder said the particular "Pod" of the High School scheduled for renovation hasn't been decided on, yet. "I would sus- pect we would choose "Pod C", lie said, "because that. particular pod contains bathroom facilities and the other pod un- der consideration does not." The Sulperintendent's plan, adopted unanimously by the School Board, also would have its own trained staff, which Wilder said could be secured from 'the present staff in the school. "We already have a corps of teachers trained as middle school instructors, and would have a year to train additional, staff we would need," Wilder said in his report. WEWAHITCHKA IN '95 The Wewahitchka High School would have its school renovated to accommodate a middle school, beginning classes. in 1995, Wilder said. 'The smaller Wewa- hitchka plant can't afford to take the room from its present plant for a middle school. We would have to build at least one class- room." He briefly outlined plans for the Wewa- hitchka school but said more input would (See MIDDLE SCHOOL on Page 3) White City will finally get Its water system. In a special meet- ing Tuesday afternoon, the Gulf County Commission took bids for construction of the system, which will include a ground level pres- sure tank on the south side of the. bridge across the Intracoastal Ca- nal, to boost a water supply though a pipeline which will be attached to the bridge. ,The com- munity's water supply will come from the City of Port St. Joe. The Commission :. received four bids on the system. which ranged from a low of $542.909.69 for a base bid to $783,177.90, with the other two falling in be-, tween. The. community has ap- proximately $600.000 in grants and loans to pay for the construc- tion. SUCCESSFULL BIDDER Air Environmental Resources. Inc., was the successful bidder. Firework Shows Draw Huge Crowds ,Gulf County people like their fireworks! Large crowds turned out for a show Saturday night in Wewa- hitchka and in Port St. Joe Sunday night, as the pyrotech- nic shows were presented. 'Crowds were parked for blocks from the center of attraction, to witness the explosions and light show put on by the ex- ploding balls of gunpowder. Rain threatened the Wewa- hitchka presentation, but the show went on despite soggy ground, and the appreciative crowds turned out en masse. The construction firm, 'with head- quarters in Gulf County, is owned by Ed Hill, a construction firm manager, formerly engaged by St. Joe Paper Company on one of its projects, TANK BIb In a-secondary bid, C&B Me- . chanical Contractors, bf Blount- stowrn, entered the low bid of $74,555 for the ground level pres- sure tank. The contract calls for the con- struction firm to build facilities to and including the meter. Piping beyond the meter to the custom- er, Is the customer's responsibili-, ty. I Both 'firms are currently be- ing investigated by County offi- cials, as to performance ability,, proper insurance coverage and other legal matters, with a deci- sion expected within a day or two.

The system was designed by Prebe-'Rish, Engineers, 'of Port St. Joheand the engineering firnn will be supervising. the construction work. GRANTS, LOANS The White City water system project began gaining momentum. about three years ago, when a child ,in the community was diag- nosed as having hepatitis, and health department officialsidenti- fied the source of the illness as 'the water supply of the communi- ty. Water is furnished from wells, with many being shallow wells, locatedd too close to septic tank systems.

Patty Wilson and her young son, David, go "Ahhht" as fireworks light up the sky Sunday night, left, and an unidentified spectator showed up dressed for the part, right. Citizens of Port St. Joe, will receive an improvement in their' fire insurance premiums the City Commission was notified Tuesday night by the state's Insurance Commission. The improvement in fire insu- rance ranking, from seven to six, came as the result of the pur- chase of a new fire truck recently, and placed into service. The truck it replaced was nearly 15 years old. The remainder of the County ratings have not been changed. The new rate schedule for policy holders inside the City Limits will not take effect for at least 90 days. Insurance agency owner, Bill Wood, a City Commis- sioner, said, "Policy holders may not see any premium reduction at all, as a whole, on their insu- rance." Wood pointed out that insu- rance companies were pulling out of Florida due to high claims inci- dence, or raising rates. Wood said the improvement in rating on fire insurance premiums should amount to approximately $20 to $40 per year, depending on the building covered, "but they may end up with not so much of an increase in premiums because of the improved rating." Policies usually cover more (See INSURANCE on Page 3) Tourist Struck by Auto While Crossing Highway Eileen Praugott, 64, of Jacksonville, was seriously injured in a traffic accident in Gulf County during the long holiday week end, and is still listed in serious con- dition in a Bay County hos- pital as a result of the acci- dent. Praugott's serious injury was the only accident report- ed in Gulf County-during the holiday period. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Praugott was crossing Highway 98, on foot, Sunday at about noon, to get to the beach, when she was struck by a car driv- en by Laura Weber of Cleve- land, Tennessee. Mrs. Praugott was cross- ing the highway at the inter- section beside Gulf Sands Motel, when the accident oc- curred. Witnesses said she apparently didn't see the on- coming car and walked into the path of the vehicle. It was the second acci- dent involving an automo- bile and a pedestrian to oc- cur in Gulf County within a month. Cpl. D. W. Welch of the Highway Patrol investigated the accident.

Old Shacks Are Unsightly and Dangerous A while back the City of Port St. Joe em- barked on a program of getting rid of old burned out shells of houses and those which had simply become eyesores through neglect and lack of use. There are several which fall into -these categories throughout the City and the Commission is concerned about them. The burned out shells and the dilapidated condition of the few homes which have deterio- rated over the years through neglect are also a concern of the citizens which live in the neigh- borhood. The buildings are also of a concern to the Commissioners because they found by remov- ing a few, that considerable money and valua- ble time was involved in removing what was once a home and is now simply debris. This same debris attracts rodents, roaches, snakes, and other unwelcome pests to bother us. Too, kids are naturally attracted to such places to plunder among the debris to find "treasure" and sometimes find only a rusty nail through their feet. The places are a hazard to kids and their sense of adventure. The Commissioners are concerned over the expense of removing the buildings as well as the danger of leaving them where they are. What can be done to recover some of the ex- pense and make the property properly respon- sible for the state of his own property and pos- sible danger it poses to everyone? Just.the other day we read of cholera out- breaks in other countries caused by some of the very same conditions these buildings threaten. We're not saying we are about to have a cholera outbreak in Port St. Joe. We probably won't have. But the things which make cholera outbreaks are there. It could happen, given the right set of circumstances. The City government has toyed with ways to make the property owner responsible for clear- ing away the debris in some .manner or other. We think they are on solid ground to make the owners responsible but the trick is, how do you do it, if the owner doesn't live here? How do you remove a building from a piece of private property when the owner says leave it alone and he'll take care of it... and then doesn't? The City can handle cases where there is, a resident property owner involved. He can at least be badgered until he performs to the ben- efit of the public. In the case of absentee ownr- ership and resident ownership as well, there is the old weapon of taking a lien against the property. There is very little property inside the City limits of Port St. Joe which isn't worth the esti- mated $2-3,000 expenses for removing build- ings. Of course, there is a ritual which must be adhered to in order to have the law on your side when the buildings are torn down, but that is all in place. Now, it is a matter of exercising all these available methods of requiring a property own- er to pay for cleaning up his own personal mess. Doesn't Nation Have Enough AIDS? The government finally found a" court which would agree with diseased Haitians coming into the United States as preferred emigrants. Not only are the Haitians without a country and diseased, but they have the incurable, ex- pensive-to-treat, deadly killer, AIDS. There were about 138 of the aliens brought into, Palm Beach, about two weeks' ago, who were formerly under quarantine in-Guantana- mo Bay, Cuba. They were-there for over a year, trying to gain entrance to our country. . along with their deadly disease. What was wrong with sending them back to Haiti? Why must we bring them here? We real- ize they have problems, but we also realize that bringing them to the United States won't solve their immediate problem of health. Nobody, or, nothing can solve that problem. In the meantime, we are giving our people' another 138 chances at contracting the dis- ease. Think what 138 carriers of AIDS can do to our nation? If we didn't already have more than enough AIDS, this "seed" of 138 carriers would number in the thousands in less than 10 years. Since we already have more people with the disease than we can properly care for, it only compounds our problem. The other day, we read where:the center for contagious disease control in Atlanta, Georgia, is in possession of the last smallpox virus. It was once the "AIDS" of the world, causing mil- lions of people to die. The Atlanta group was agonizing over whether or not it should destroy the last smallpox virus known to be on earth. Annihilate it. Erase smallppx from the earth once and forever. Scientists and doctors have waited for this :moment for the past 2,000 years. Smallpox has been with us for at least that long; maybe long- er. The vaccine was first discovered for this dis- ease way back about 1748 and the disease has just now been eradicated. That's a long time. There is no vaccine, yet, for AIDS. Given the length of time it took to do away with smallpox, how long can we expect to fight AIDS before it is a disease no more even after the vaccine is discovered? The future isn't very bright for the world in its dealing with AIDS. We can see nothing but centuries of combat with the disease, consid- ering the way in which it is spread. So, what do we do? We just compound the number of carriers with a few more to cause it to spread even faster. With the United States turning over every stone to find a cure,for this dreaded disease,.we are encouraging its growth by allowing at least 138 more carriers into the country which we could very easily keep out. And to think, just a few weeks ago, the school ,system advised parents with children who had contracted chicken pox to keep their children at home. And chicken pox isn't even a deadly disease. Let's be consistent. ... iHunker Down, with Kes I It All Comes Out In the Wash... SByKesleyColbert I The only thing Il.know about 'washing machines is when I get close to 'em bad things tend to happen. I struggledearly in life to overcome this "Whirlpool Mania", but to no avail. It started with that old wringer washer Mother, had-she'd get me to turn the crank as she "fed" the clothes through the rollers. Listen, a lot of those pants didn't want to go through that thing! The metal buttons on the Levi's would hang up every time. And if the snap on the overalls got turned side- ways-well, you didn't have a chance. And when we got to one of Mother's: light-weight cotton dresses that would go through fairly easily, you'd think I'd get a break. Wrong! That dress wouldn't come straight out. It %rould cling to the top roller and Wrap itself around about four or five times. Then you were stuck. Mom would have to stop every- thing and back it back out. Moth- er never fussed much, but she would give me that exasperated look. I knew what she was think- ing; "Lord, this boy ain't going to be much account when it comes to heavy machinery." I'd stand in that chair for hours turning, that old' wooden", handle,. I believe I was too.young for that Job and I thought a: time or two about contacting those child labor law people. Then, I re- membered it was 1958 in the back yard of my house. Didn't no- body have any Jurisdiction there except my Father! I kept my mouth shut and' cranked. You can imagine my feelings when we gotan'electric, do-it-all. inside the house, real, sure nuff ,washing machine. Mother seemed to like it, too. 'Course,' I have a bad memory of that one.... It broke down after five or six years of washing about four loads a day. Now, this was years before Maytag thought of hiring a guy to hang around just waiting for a washing machine to go bad. Dad- dy scooted it out from the wall and crawled in; there behind it. My Dad drove a truck for a living., He didn't have a clue about wash- ing machines! But he had an obli- gatiori; it was his house-I under- stand that now, I certainly'didn't then. I'm on top of him. . "What's wrong with it, Dad?" "I don't know,. son, move back." "Let me look, maybe I can-" "Son, get out of the way." "Daddy; what do all of those' hoses do?" ; "' "Kesley, get ut of my !".. "Daddy, maybe it's that big-"' "Son, if you don't move back I'm going to whip you!" 'You'd have to catch" me first-" See why I don't like washing machines? He wasn't going to whip me. He was tired. He was looking at the back of a washing. machine for the first time in his .life. He didn't know where the hoses went, either. And he wasn't, going to figure it put with my head stuck between'him and the machine. He didn't know anybody .he could call for help, and you can bet he was getting pretty Irri- tated by now....still, he wasn't, really threatening to whip me, he just wanted me out .of the way. I understand all of that, NOW. Can you believe I'd pick that moment. to show off my smart mouth.... He' caught me going out the back steps. I'd never seen a grown man come out behind a' washing machine so fast He (See KESLEY on Page 3) m Nou OrdinaryGuitaLo Country music I SELDOM, IF ever, listen to country music. Neither am I a particular fan of country music. It's not that I don't like country music, but my musical tastes lean more to light classical: Irving Berlin, Debussy, mid '40's type such as "Stardust", music from the show, "Oklahoma", "Claire de Lune" and fare such as that. I have a fine time listening to the music broadcast over WKGC, the Gulf Coast College station. The, music it broadcasts during the morning and late afternoon hours are my kind of music. They are nothing near country music. Some people' won't listen to anything else. It's not music to them unless Conway Twitty, Ear- nest Tubb, George Jones, Willie' Nelson or some other such artist sings it to them. I can do without Conway, Earnest, George or Willie and never miss them. Or, I can listen to them for a short while. As a steady diet, however, my music tastes lean more toward ences, .earlier. Now, I'm going to tell you We had aisle seats in the fifth row at the Opry. We were right in front' of -the stage and spent the shortest three hours I have ever spent. It was a fine show. The only names I recog-, nized were -Porter :Wagoner and' Grandpa Jones, but both of us had a great time. Horowitz than Brooks. SO, IT IS WITH this in mind that I tell you about a trip Fren- chice and I took to Nashville, Ten- nessee last week end. The trip was given to us by our children, as a Christmas present and we have just gotten around to taking it. But, I'm not shy about telling you, I had some second thoughts about going, since I'm not all that fond of country music. Nashville is aptly known as the "Country Music Capital of the United States!' You can't escape it. Mu- sic is everywhere. We went and we thor- oughly enjoyed it. Frenchie told one of the kids that it "was the nicest gift you could have given us." We had the trip, tickets to the "Grand Ole Opry", to "Opry- land, USA" and a sightseeing tour of Nashville, all in one package. But we enlarged on that and took side trips to visit the Conser- vatory in. the Opryland Hotel, General "Stonewall" Jackson's home, The Hermitage, and would have taken a dinner cruise Satur- day night, if'there had not been a mix-up in our transportation ar- rangements. I gave you my music prefer- NASHVILLE IS A beautiful city with a rich history which ex- tends back prior to the Civil War. Historical sights we saw were: the oldest church in the city, the 100-year-old buildings along Sec- ond Avenue, Printer's Alley, Cen- tennial Park, with its full size rep- lica of the Parthenon, Music Row and many other sights; bricThe oldest church was a large brick building and its congrega- tion was Presbyterian. There were holes in the bricks and mortar, where they had been hit by mus- ket balls in the. fighting during the war. The ladies of Nashville are re- sponsible for us seeing this church building and most of the downtown area. They badgered the men of the city to the point where they protected the historic area by strict zoning. laws which makes it illegal to change the fa- cade of the buildings in any man- ner. The Civil War veterans, want- ed the old church building for a veterans home, but the ladies were successful in "saving" it for the historical and spiritual values: of its past. 'It's still a church. The Opry isn't held in down- town Nashville at the 100-year- old Ryman Auditorium anymore. The auditorium was originally a- mission/church, but today it's an interesting stop on the sight- seeing tour. The Opry is now held at a new theatre in Opryland. OPRYLAND IS AN entertain- ing spot to visit. It's easier to get around in and has more enter- . tainment for children than Walt Disney World. SI hate to admit anybody has anything better than Florida,' but it's the. truth. It's. a much more relaxed, atmosphere than' Walt Disney World. The people are ea- ger for' you to have a good time and bend over backward to see that you do.. There is plenty to entertain adults-concerts, shows, rides," shops, restaurants, .and the usu- al theme park fare. But, every- thing they had for adults to enjoy, they had in miniature size for the kids to experience;- everything from a roller-coaster to a puppet show. I am planning on going back, soon, if it's only to enjoy that din- ner cruise I missed this time. But first, I'm going to wait and see if our children give usyanother trip this Christmas. We were on a tour with a couple from Colorado whose children had even paid their air fare to Nashville. Wasn't that nice of them?

JOE, FL THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1993 PAGE 3A jirgV.i r i Shad Phantry By > .Wendell Campbell The Walking Machine About three weeks ago; my wife asked me-to buy her a walking machine. At the time I thought it was a good idea. It is one of those fancy kinds that shows you. how fast you are walking, how many S calories you're, burning, and-if you clip a little gadget on your ear lobe-it will tell you your pulse rate. It also has a timer on it so you can tell how long it takes you to walk a certain distance, and you can vary the rate you walk by turning a little knob. Like I said, I thought it was a good idea at the time, so I bought it. Deep down, though, I knew I was making a mistake; just like I knew when I bought that boat. Just like I almost did when I almost bought that pool table. And just like I almost did when I almost had that swimming pool installed In our back yard. My first Inkling of having made a mistake was about halfway home from where I bought it. I began to wonder why the person I bought it from was so glad to "give" it to us, "just to get it out of the way." Oh, yes, she told us she had a bad hip. That was it. That s why she wanted to get rid of it She does, too. I know because she is my sister, but I haven't :noticed her limping one time since my :check cleared. As a matter of fact, thinking back, I think I saw her Jumping up and down when we backed out of her driveway with the machine in the back of my truck. Well, I thought it was a bargain at the time and certainly some- thing we just couldn't do without You know, what is one' who loves exercise to do on these rainy Florida days when one can't get out and get the proper exercise one needs? You buy 'a walking machine like I didl " Needless to say, the whole family was tickled pink. Everyone, wanted.to walk on the walking machine and everyone wanted to be first. I decided to wait until I could take my time to walk a couple of miles In the comfort of our air-conditioned den. When I was alone, I reasoned, I could walk as far and as fast as I wanted to and no one would bother me. It's been, three weeks and I've walked on it one time for 1 1/2 Smiles and I will never set foot on it again... ' Have you ever walked on one of those things? If you haven't, please feel free to come by the house and try ours. No, I don'twant to sell it I want it to sit in our den so I can look at It each day and realize what a fool I was to buy such a contraption. And I'm not blaming my sister; if it hadn't been her, I would have bought it from someone else. At least I kept the money in the family. But back to the walking on the walking machine. I have never been so bored in my life as I was the day I walked on the machine. There was no change of scenery, no cool or warm breeze, no one to speak to as I walked, and there certainly was no fresh air or smell of the' outdoors. And another thing I don't like about it Is you can't * swing your arms while walking on the darned thing. If you turn loose of the grips you are liable to fall off.

MAY, D.M.D. GREATEST CAUSE OF TOOTH LOSS Lack of cavities do not nec-_ essarily indicate a healthy mouth. In fact, you can lose all your teeth while never having a cavity. How? From "periodontal disease" the greatest single cause of tooth loss in adults! Periodontal disease is- a condition involving gums, the tis- sues around the teeth, and even the supporting bone in ad- vanced cases. Some of the symptoms are loosening. 'of teeth, or bleeding, red, flabby or swelling gums. In most cases, there is little or no pain at first, making it easy to convince yourself that there is nothing really wrong. Be aware of a passive attitude.'It is esti- mated that 95% of the popula- tion has some kind of gum dis- ease at some time in life, mostly after age 35. There are home care regi- mens to prevent periodontal dis- ease and dental treatments to stop it. But there is only one way to catch the problem. Get treat- ment in time before serious damage is done. Prepared as a public ser- vice to promote better dental health. From the office of: FRANK D. MAY, D.M.D., 319 Williams Ave., Phone 227-1123.

Each year, the Energy Neigh- bor Fund helps Florida Power customers who find themselves in a financial crisis. Illness, unem- ployment or some other unfore- seen hardship can happen to anyone. A good job is lost, a spouse gets sick and, suddenly, a family owes more money than it has. That's when the Energy Neighbor Fund can help. The Gulf County Senior Citi- zens Association distributes the money from the fund locally; however, residents need not be seniors to qualify. Contributions to the Energy Neighbor Fund are patched dol- lar-for-dollar up to $150,000 by Florida Power shareholder contri- butions and returned to the com- munity. The Energy Neighbor Fund provides emergency assis- tance to help pay bills for electric- ity, gas, oil, and firewood. Eligibility is determined by the dispersing agency and checks .are made payable to the energy supplier. Residents can make a one- time donation to the fund by sending -a check to the Energy Neighbor Fund along with their electric bill payment. Or, custom- ers can sign up to pay a certain amount each month and that amount will be shown as a separ- ate Item on their electric bills. Donations are accepted year- round and are tax-deductible. No administrative costs are paid from the fund and all money goes to assist those in need.

But, before you go tromping off into the beckoning woods, you should familiarize yourself with some of the more common poi- sonous plants. A little prepara- tion could save you days of un- comfortable after-effects resulting from contact with such noxious weeds. Usually, we think of poison- ous plants as species found only .in the woods. Actually, they're everywhere. In this article, I will describe three common poison- ous plants-poison ivy, poison oak, and sumac--and tell you where you might find them. My information on poisonous plants was provided by Extension Urban Horticulturist Dr. Robert Black, of the University of Florida's Insti- tute of Food and Agricultural Sci- ences. NoW is a good time to be dis- cussing poisonous plants, be- cause the sap of these leafy ene- mies is most abundant during the summer. It's usually the sap which causes the problems. Poi- sonous plants can be divided Into two groups; those which cause skin irritation and those which cause internal distress and, in rare cases, even death. - Many factors influence the poisonous nature of a particular kind of plant. The poison may be- ,dispersed throughout a plant, or 4it may be localized in a specific *plant part, such as the roots, ber- -ries, or seeds. The amount of pol- soning in a plant may vary even :among plants of the same species ,depending on the time of year, weather conditions, and the soil. Reactions vary among people, de- pending on their age, health, and sensitivity to the poison. Poison ivy may have a variety of leaf shapes. But one identifying feature remains constant-the leaves always come in ,three's, with two of them directly opposite each other.

As the name implies, the slender, upright branches bear leaflets which resemble oak leaves. Poison oak also grows in trees, like poison ivy. Usually, the undersides of-the leaves are light- er in color, because they're cov- ered with fine hairs. Poison sumac grows as a woods shrub or small tree. It nev- er has the vine-like appearance of many other poisonous plants. Poison sumac is often found near swamps, and ranges from five or six feet to as much as 25 feet in height. The leaves are divided into seven to thirteen leaflets that grow in pairs. A single leaflet is found at the end of each stem.

Later in the summer, the upper leaves become dark green and glossy, while the lower leaves turn a paler green. Thes-e are Florida's most com- mon poisonous plants. But, there are many more that you. should learn to recognize and avoid. It's -especially important : to keep young children away from such dangerous species. And, in case of suspected plant poisoning, re- gardless of the victim's age, it's often wise to contact a physician immediately--especially if there are signs of internal distress or shock.

STEPHEN GROSS -Podiatriste-- BIG TOEAT RISK The big toe is the site of one of the more common frac- tures that are treated by the podiatrist, caused when a heavy object falls on the toe. The big toe is vulnerable to fractures in such cases be-, cause there is a lack of pro- tective tissue. The bone sec- tion that extends to the front of the toe is covered only by a thin layer of skin .at the bot- tom edge of the toenail. - Someone whose job or, pro- Jects at home pose risks that heavy objects might fall on the feet obviously should wear protective shoes. Yet, only one in four people who have suffered Job-related foot injuries wear safety shoes, according to the Na- tional Safety Council. If a fall- ing object injures one or more toes, see the podiatrist with- out delay. Prompt examina- tion and treatment can make a big difference in successful healing.

But soil. does something to' me. When I seethings start to' sprout and grow, I get energized. So, in my exuberance, five rows became 10, and then 15. Besides, it was spring; weather cool, grass slow, and weeds minimal. But as the weather warmed. my energy waned, and the grass and weeds grew faster than the garden. But what had started as a pleasure soon turned into a pain. In Luke 14:28-30, Jesus ..said "Suppose on of you'wants to build a tower.

SChurches can do this, too. Sometimes we try to !do every- thing and' end up doing nothing very well. We need to ask "What are the unique needs of our com- munity?" and then ask what are our resources and our capabili- ties. Do we have the facilities and the financial, as well as "people" resources to meet those needs? If we will do this and also make ourselves available, then I believe God will make us capable.

At the same time the crime rate (number of in- Sdex crimes per 100.000 popula- tion) fell 3.2% last year. FDLE Commissioner Tim Moore said. 'The drop in last year's crime rate is a turn in the right direction, however, Florida likely will again lead the nation In this category.

(DM)-Dine away the summer food doldrums with "Bayside Pasta Salad." This colorful and delicious entree features small shell macaroni combined with tiny bay shrimp and tender peas and carrots.
