The Port St. Joe City Com-
mission began the budget process
yesterday, by declaring its tenta-
tive village rate, for fiscal year
1993-94. Stressing the word "ten-
tative", the Commission adopted
a rate of 4.9908 inills for the new
budget, recognizing the fact they
can reduce the tax rate but can-
not increase it beyond this point,
without extensive hearings, ad-
vertising and justification of their
position.
Last year's mill rate was
4.9703. This year's final estab-
lished rate is expected to be the
same or slightly lower.
Expecting a reduction of
about $1 million in taxable prop-
erty, the Commission has re-
ceived a designated "roll back
rate" of 4.9908 mills. The Com-
mission tentatively established
this figure as the tax rate at their
meeting yesterday at noon.
< Due to a reduction in the to:
tal taxable value of $1,048,290,
the roll back rate actually reflects


School complex. .
The only other major expendi-
ture increase over last year's bud-
geted Items, is in teacher salaries.
Funding for a pay increase grant-
ed at the end of the current year,
adds some $166,172 to the In-
struction portion of the financial
plan' .
Additional revenues will be
expected to meet the new expen-
ditures, from both ad valorem
taxes and from State sources.
Ad valorem taxes will be
pegged at a rate of 7.746 mills, as
opposed to' a rate of 7.4455 last
Year. This expected increase in-
the millage rate should bring in
an additional $51,731.' State
'funds are also expected. to in-


crease and the district Is budget-.
ing an additional $173,026. How-
ever this source of revenue hasn't-
.been very stable in the past two
or three years. .
Total revenues this year will
.be $9,849,049. showing an in-.
crease of $413-that's right,
$413- over the previous year. '
EXPENDITURES
Expenditures are slightly dif-
ferent this year. .The Board is ad-
vertising their intention to pur-
chase three new school buses;
purchase new school furniture
-and equipment as well as county.
office furniture and equipment;,
and purchase additional equip-
ment, textbooks, consumable and
non-consumable instructional
supplies.


"Our solid waste costs have increased from $200,000 five years ago
to. a half million dollars today. We're going to have to do something
about this within the coming year," Mayor Pate said. Solid waste is
something the City has to deal with, it won't go away according to
Mayor Pate.


an- increase of 0.0205 mills to
generate the same amount of rev-
enue from ad valorem taxes..
NEW EXPENSES
The budget for the new fiscal
year reflects some increased ex-
penses which the Commission ex-
pects to fund without an increase
in taxes. New expenditures in-
clude:
-$25,000 for the new Senior
Citizens Building.
-$20,000 reserve for compli-
ance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
-$40,000 for a new Reserve
'for Contingencies account.
-$63,207 for a new Cash
Carry Forward account.
-$26,705 to fund a pay in-
crease for City employees.
There is also $100,000 bud-


geted in the General Fund for in-
stalling central air conditioning
and heat in the Centennial Build-
ing. This expense will be funded
by a state grant.
The proposed budget "was
.prepared to fund reasonable ser-
vices at a reasonable level while
establishing adequate reserves to
fund the several items in the bud-
get without additional ad valorem
taxes," according to City Auditor
and clerk, Jim Maloy.
BIG EXPENSE
The biggest single expense for
the City this past year and ex-
pected to be next year as well, is
the solid waste program. Mayor
Frank Pate observed, "The solid
waste expense has grown from
$200,000 five years ago, to a half
million dollars today."


Other than the renovation ot
buildings for other purposes, the
largest increase in expenditures
is in the Instruction.budget item.
This item reflects a $166,172 in-
crease over the previous year. The
Instruction budget itemn has in-
creased from $5,636,285 to
$5,802.457.
Almost every other category
shows, a slight decrease-
administration, staff training and
maintenance. Plant maintenance
shows an $18,000 increase.
At the end of the budget year,,
the district will not have much
money left to begin the 94-95
school year.. Fund balances have
been set at $150,000, running
$100,000 closer to "empty" when
the fiscal year officially runs out.


MITCH BOUINGTON
S.. Port St. Joe High School Bandmaster


Bouington Is New

PSJ Bandmaster
Mitch Bouington, 25, was employed this week by the
Gulf County School Board to fill the position of Bandmas-
ter at Port St. Joe High School.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bouington, the Band-
master is a native of Port St. Joe, having spent seven years
in the band program before his graduation in 1985. After
graduation, Bouington received a music degree from Gulf
Coast Community College and then enrolled at Troy State
University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Music
Education degree. He received his Master of Music Educa-
tion this summer at Troy State. While a student at TSU, he
gained something besides music degrees. He also gained a
wife, Angela.
Bouington has reported to work and says he hopes to
restore the band to its past status of size and respect of the
community. "I remember when the community was proud
of the band. I was a part of it. I hope to get back to that
point," Bouington said.
The Bandmaster is pointing toward that goal by presid-
ing over a band camp beginning August 2, for members
and potential members of the Band of Gold.


Pate said the Commission is
considering some.changes in this
operation, designed to produce
more revenue to reduce the ne-
cessity for supplementing the op-
eration rith more tax money.
'We don't know yet what that
increase will be, but we're pon-
dering several avenues of relief,"
Pate said. Pate gave credit for
some of the increase in expenses
to the fact that many residents
throughout the County bring
their solid waste to Port St. Joe to
dump in public and commercial
.containers.
The solid waste department is
running a tab of $539,815, with
approximately $200,000 being
borne by ad valorem taxes. Pate
said the Commission is looking at
every avenue of relief, Including
privatization of the garbage col-
lection service. 'To be perfectly
candid about the situation, we
are also looking at increased fees,
once a week pick-up and several
other avenues we may follow to
reduce tax expense," Pate said.

Jaycees Were



Cheerleaders
'THE NOW DEFUNCT Port St. Joe Jaycees would be proud of
their organization if they were still operating. It was that small
but vocal group which made the most noise, in public, about the
need for a new bridge serving land traffic across the Gulf County
Canal at Highland View.
*They called to the attention of the general public the deplora-
ble condition of the old bridge. every time it would become stuck,
blocking traffic for hours on end. They'made sure The Star knew
about the matter of inconveniences to the general public, every
time it happened. They wrote letters, made phone calls, paid
visits to politicians and used the influence of their organization
to get a replacement for the cranky old draw bridge which served
the waterway crossing until June of this year. '
IT WAS THE LOCAL politicians and people of influence who
quietly-dropped a gentle nudge or threat here and there which fi-
nally got the feat accomplished of securing a new bridge.
But, the Jaycees, without a doubt, no arguments here, were
the "cheerleaders" for Gulf-.County which whipped up public
concern enough to give the pressure being applied sufficient,
public opinion approval to get the project accomplished.
It saddens us that we no longer have a Jaycee chapter here
in Port St. Joe. Their demise has left us with a dearth of young
leaders coming along to do the legwork which always needs done
and to fill leadership slibes on down the road. We never really
appreciated just how much the Jaycees prepared our young
leaders, getting them ready to serve.
WE GIVE OUR men of influence-past and present-in Port
St. Joe, credit. They were successful in securing the fine bridge
we enjoy so-much now. They used up their "points" with state of-
ficials. They went places and carried reams of facts with them.
They talked to officials and -they called on friendships. It's also
interesting to see that some of these present-day men of such in-
fluence, so much pull where it is needed, all these important
contacts and acquaintances; most of these men were a part of
the Jaycees when they were so active here in Port St. Joe.
We're glad the bridge is finally here. We appreciate the con-
venience of heading west and not dreading the crossing at High-
land View, where we have all been delayed so often. We would be
just as proud to see some of our young men band together and
get another Jaycee chapter started. We're going to need motivat-
ed young men in the future. Heck, we need them right nowl


IfIt Ain't Brok ..
THE GULF COUNTY Commission is voluntarily considering
the question of whether or not to re-apportion the commission
districts in the county. It's Florida law that every county in the
state is required to consider the internal change every 10 years.
Actually, it is required every first year after the decade has,
changed. The change must be considered or become a reality in
only odd numbered years to avoid clashing with the term of an
elected official.
Gulf County has gone through the throes of re-apportioning
twice and both times had to be drug kicking and screaming
through the process by the courts. To say that Gulf County has
resisted re-apportionment in the past is the understatement of
understatements.
We don't know whether the realigning Is needed at this time
or not. We do know there is no burning movement inside the
county to do so. Actually the subject is sort of ho-hum at this
time. People are pretty satisfied with the alignment of the several
districts as they now stand. Some people ask why fix it if it isn't
broke. ..
IT IS REFRESHING to see the county government take upon
themselves, voluntarily, the task of examining the matter to de-
termine whether or not we really need an act of re-
apportionment. It isn't an easy task nor is it Just something one
does and nobody notices. Almost everybody is inconvenienced
for a period of time after re-apportionment. For instance, as one
Commissioner noted last week at their regular meeting, 'There
are still citizens who are unsure of which district they should
vote in."
This is true. The last time Gulf was re-apportioned was back
in 1985. That re-apportionment, too, was dictated by the courts.
Then just recently a mini re-apportionment was accomplished
with the voting precincts. causing turmoil again.
If we do, indeed, need to be re-apportioned, let's do it and get
it over with. If we don't find it absolutely necessary, let it alone!

I Wonder If John


ColbrtRemembers Miss Estine
.* '' *


. F




Johnlm Chambliss called the of-;
fice this morning. We had to put
him on hold to look up his re-
quested information.'
"John, sorry you were on
hold so long...."
"Oh, that's o.k.; I was listen-
ing to some kind of music."
I could tell by the emphasis
on "some kind" that more than
likely John D. wasn't enamored'
with whatever had been filling his-
ears.
I know where he was coming
from! I had no idea what he'd Just
been listening to, but I've had a
few "hold" experiences of my own.
I called a biological supply house
once, got put on hold and lis-
tened to bells being gonged for six
and a half minutes. It might not
a'been so bad, but they didn't
have but three bells-ding, dang.
dong; ding. dang, dong; ding, dang,
- dong--over and over and over-I


was near 'bout mesmerized. That
was twenty years ago. Today I lay
down to sleep and I can still hear,
those bells... And visions of dead
frogs floating in formaldehyde
leap to mind.
I hated to call Dr. Russell.
Mary Ruth would put you on hold
every time while she "sent out" for
your chart. They had something
that sounded Just like the eleva-
tor in that big, fancy hotel in
' Memphis that has the ducks run-
ning loose in the lobby. I never
actually stayed there, you under-
stand-we'd just drop by and try
to pick us off a duck for supper.
And Leon would stroll over to the
guy in the funny suit and say,
"Seven, James." "-'
We'd ride up feeling most :im-
portant. "Course, we'd walk back
down; we didn't want James to
get wise to us. Leon would ex-
plain why the ride didn't cost
nothing-"Listen, with music that
awful, they ought to pay you to
climb inside that boxl You'd think
in Memphis they'd have a little
Elvis or Chuck Berry or Jerry
Lee...."


Mary Ruth would come back
on the line, .'Kesley-"
"Seven. please."
I called that young dress
shoppe over in Mobile. Now, I
wouldn't want her to know this,
but lately. Cathy's clothes have
kind'a taken on an old look. I was
going to surprise her with some-
thing a little more hip. Well, actu-
ally, come to think of it, what she
actually needed was a little less
hip....
"Hey, dude, thanks for dial-
ing, could you hold a second?"
"Ma'am, this, is long dis--"
Too late. I'd done been push-
buttoned. Folks, you won't believe
what cameqver that line! I think
they had it plugged into rock sta-
tion KRAZ-Y. The bass player
was choking the lead singer who
was making no attempt to actual-
ly sing-he was Just hollering.
The drummer had jumped off the
stage and was beating the sax
player over the head with a rub-
ber chicken. I'm on long distance!
Nine minutes later, somebody
shot the drummer, the lead guy ,
was up two octaves, the young


lady hadn't been back, and I was.
thinking Cathy didn't look too !
bad in what she'd been wearing.
Click, it was over. Someone had
cut me offil Long distance NINE
MINUTES! If they had Just hung
up on me right off I wouldn't have
been so chapped....I looked at
that phone and had some bad
thoughts about young dress
shoppers, rock stations, lead sing-
ers, and fake chickens.
There is another side qof this.
coin, though I must admit it is
rather rare. You can get a good-.
"hold." Dial 1-800-624-6637 and .
you're talking to Western Athletic
Supply in Riverside, California.
-They put you on hold and Vin
Scully comes on with the play-by-
play description of the 1963
World Series. Sandy Koufax. is
pitching for the Dodgers. I try to
call about twice a week.
"Good afternoon, Western
Athletic."
"Ma'am, I don't kvant to order
a thing right now-But would you
just put me on hold for a few
minutes...." '
I felt like I should apologize if
John hadn't enjoyed our "hold"
music. "I'm sorry, maybe next
time we'll have Garth Brooks or
some old Johnny Cash." :
"Or Flatt and Scruggs."
Son-of-a-gun, turns out 'ole

Misery of
FLOODS IN THE middle por-
tion of the nation around the Mis-
sissippi River have been the talk.
of the nation for the past several
weeks. Before that, the subject of
conversation around these parts
was concerning the drought we
here in Florida found ourselves in
at the time.
But, things change, don't
they? In our case, the sunshiny
days gave way to the usual show-
ers during the early afternoon. No
more are we suffering from the
drought, although we can still
use some more rain [provided we
haven't had a deluge between the
time this was written and the
time you read it]
We are not accustomed to
having droughts around here and
I imagine a period of dry weather
bothers us nearly as much as a
period of too much rain does the
middle west. That's "too much" as
in not the "too much" they are
suffering through now. The kind


Floods Attract Attention of Everyone In the Nation

of rain they are having in Iowa,
St Louis and all along the north-
ern section of the river would
cause anybody problems.
I WAS listening to a report
from New Orleans, where the di-,
rector of public works was being
interviewed concerning how the
people of New Orleans were pre-
paring for the flood waters when
they arrived at the Louisiana
City. After all, 500 miles of flood-
ing is enough water to cause any-
body concern.
The New Orleans official said
the people there weren't partlcu-


larly concerned about it. 'We can
take care of it with no sweat!" he
said.
Imagine a section of the na-
tion capable of taking care of
enough extra water to make a
sixth Great Lake and hardly no-,
tice it!
The people of the Mississippi
flood plain area are having it
rough now. A hurricane is no
trouble at all compared to the
trouble the flood has caused
these people. Probably by the end
of the year, they will be praying
for a little rain, but they certainly
are not now.


S I REMEMBER THE first ex-
perience I ever, had with a flood;
and it wasn't really a personal ex-
perience at all. It was sort of a
second hand situation. I knew
4 some people who were stalled by
-, floods: and were in agony because
they couldn't continue their jour-
i ney with their route being
blocked by a river raging out of
its banks.
It was' back in Oklahoma
when I was a small boy of about
six or seven years of age.
We lived across the street
from 'a hastily erected frame
church building which had long
since ceased to be the host for
worship services. A couple had
been traveling through our town,
headed for California in a con-
verted hearse. They set up house-
keeping in that abandoned
church while they awaited the
floods along their way to subside.
I remember them so well be-
cause, to me, they seemed to be
so old. The mah was suffering


from tuberculosis which was why
they were going to California.
Every morning, right' after
breakfast, the woman would
cross the street to our house, to
-borrow our Tulsa Ddily World to
read the latest news about the
floods along their rout.e.
I don't know what ever hap-
pened to, those people. They even-
tually left and us boys had the
old empty church for a play-
ground once again. '

iMY NEXT EXPERIENCE
with a flood was here in Port st
Joe during a hurricane.
The hurricane struck at night
and was subsiding near 8:00 a.m.
the next morning. I had stuck it
out while my family had gone in-
land to safety. I was coming to
town to sort of check out the
damage and start doing a few
things to get. a paper out, when I
neared the Motel. I looked into
the Bay and saw the pier was
about gone in the high seas.,


which were continuing to rise.
The water was up on the land
close to the normal shoreline.
I headed for the office to get a
camera to niake some pictures of
the rough water and came direct-
ly back to 'photograph the break-
ing up of the pier. I hadnot been
gone more than flve or ten min-
utes.
.-During that time the water
had covered Fifth Street, nearly to
its intersection with Reid Avenue
and was pouring into the down-
stairs portion of the ,Motel; all in
that short time.
Floodwaters, especially hurri-
cane flood waters, can rise with
lightning quickness.
That was the time some of
the homes along Monument Ave-
nue were flooded; ruining furni-
ture, carpets, etc., and leaving a
smell which was hard to get rid
of.
But, the water was gone in an
hour or so. It has hung around
for a while in the mid-west.

A Reader's Contribution
A few weeks ago, my wife and daughter traveled to south Flori-
da on business. While there, my daughter mentioned to one of her
business associates that I wrote a column for our local newspaper.
The man immediately replied that he had some material, that I
might be interested in: a good item of interest for an article or two.
It's extremely hard to come up with an idea each week to write
about. Some weeks it's harder than others, especially when I've had
a busy and frustrating week like this one has been. I'm grateful to
all who 'give me ideas for articles. The interesting idea is the hardest
part.
Below ae a few of the lines the gentleman sent Pne from Jupi-
ter. They ar. reprinted just as I received them, but space won't per-
mit writing all of them.
Sentences taken from actual letters received by the welfare depart-
1. I am writing to say that my baby was born two years old. When
do I get my money?
2. Mrs. Jones has not had any clothing for a year and has been
visited regularly by the clergy.
3. I can get no sick pay; I have six children, can you tell me why?
4. This is my eighth child, what are you going to do about it?
5. I am glad to report that my husband who was reported missing
is now dead.
6. Please find for certain If my husband is dead; The man I live
with now can't eat or do nothing till he-knows.
7. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my three children
one of which was a mistake as you will see.
8. My husband got his project cut off two weeks ago and I haven't
had any relief since.
9. Unless I get my husband's money very soon, I will be forced to
live an immortal life.
10. You have changed my little girl to a little boy, will this 'make
any difference?
11. In accordance with instructions, I have given birth to twins in
the enclosed envelope.
12. I have no, money. I want money as soon as I can get it. I have
been in bed with the doctor for two weeks and he doesn't do me
no good; If things don't improve I will have to send for another,
doctor.
I promise I didn't write one word of the above sentences. I ain't
that good a writer, is? I?

RIBBON CUT, PLAQUE UNVEILED
After the words of dedication for the structure, an entourage.
headed by Amelia Tapper and Trish Warriner made their way to
the crown of the bridge to officially cut the ribbon, declaring the
George Tapper Bridge open to traffic.
Trish Tapper Warriner and her husband, David, unveiled a
plaque at the end of the bridge, carrying its name. One of the
plaques stands at either end of the bridge.
After the ribbon cutting, John Miller. secretary of the Port
Authority, presented Mrs. Tapper and Mrs. Warriner with

plaques commemorating the dedication ceremonies. Trish War-
riner responded for the Tapper family, recalling the dreams her
father had for Gulf County and Port St. Joe and the fond memo-:
ries she had of Gulf County. 'Thank you. for the fine tribute you
have paid my father here today." she said.
The entire ceremony lasted less than 45 minutes, but no-
body seemed to mind the heat and dust the breeze was swirling
about the crowd assembled under the large tent. The traffic
didn't even become edgy for being held up 10 minutes for the
ribbon-cutting part of the ceremony. Once the ribbon was cut'
and traffic was allowed to cross the bridge, vehicles crossed in a
bumper-to-bumper stream for a full 15 minutes: attesting the:
very real need for such a facility on Highway 98. where the Gulf'
County Canal empties into St. Joseph Bay.

Dream of Becoming Nurse


Is a Reality Through JTPA


The mission of the JTPA staff
at Gulf Coast Community College
and Haney Technical Center is to
lead its students toward higher
aspirations, higher expectations,
and higher performance in order,
to provide a competitive edge for.
the Florida Panhandle. As one
looks toward the year 2000, the
need for higher levels of analytical
and computational skills ,will be
made more profound with the
changing nature of Jobs.
In keeping with this mission,
JTPA served over 500 partici-
.pants in the classroom training
program. Many of these students
have completed training and are
successfully employed with comrn-
panies in Northwest Florida.
One example of a JTPA suc-
cess story is Drema Hess. Hess
was raised in Detroit's harsh in-
ner city. Determined to make life
better for herself and her four
children, she worked shoveling
asphalt in order to raise enough
money to move her family to Flor-
ida. During this move, her car
broke down in Mexico Beach, so
she decided to make it her home.
Hess' dream for the past 12
years was to become a nurse. Fi-
nally, last June, that wish came
True. She completed a satellite
course at Eastpoint on the Li-
censed Practical *Nursing Pro-
gram, sponsored by Haney Tech-
nical Center, which JIPA funded.
'When I found out that I met
JTPA's criteria and would be en--
rolled in the L.P.N. program, I.
cried. I knew that I would suc-
ceed because I wanted this so
bad,', revealed Hess.
Hess received the highest
clinical grade point average in her
class. She was also rated highest
Sin clinical performance, which in-
cludes actual hands-on-work
with patients, machines, chart-
ing, and documentation.
Now, she is employed as an
L.P.N. at Bay St. Joseph Care
Center. In thisposition, she cares
for 30 residents. She enjoys help-
ing the residents with their
needs.
"I always liked giving and
helping others--it feels good. It's

like when a resident calls me and
I run to assist them, I feel wanted
and needed. You Just don't have
residents, you have a family. In
many cases, if they don't have rel-
atives, you are their family. The
elderly have taught me to be in
touch with my feelings and to
take my time-to enjoy life. I get a
lot of hugs and kisses from them
and that's what makes my .Job
worth it," said Hess.
Hess added, "I heard about
JTPA through an article I read in
The Star newspaper. My. JTPA
counselor, Sandle Scott, told me
all I needed to do to start my ca-
reer as an L.P.N. She also gave
me advice and helped me along.


Thanks to JTPA, my books, tui-
tion, and uniform were paid for."

ing more information on the ben-
efits JTPA has to offer are to con-
tact Sandie Scott at (904) 229-

JTPA funds are made availa-
ble through cooperative agree-

DISCIPLINE.


By
Elizabeth C. Jones, M.D.


FAUN fHAn ,t taNT.,r a. J 0a a*SA )Af. JULY2 IU


~'..'
."~.


In last week's The Star, Mr. Mathes from Wewahitchka wrote
about the problems in disciplining high school children and how
they plan to handle the situation for the next school year. The prob-
lem he outlines has been related to me over and over by my teacher
friends. Dedicated teachers can no longer teach because all their
time has to be taken up with maintaining order. Everyone suffers
when this happens. The children who are anxious to learn become
frustrated and some of them become behavior problems.
No problem is ever solved overnight This article, is directed to
the parents of small children. I would like to enter a plea for you to
work hard to instruct your children in appropriate behavior and
manners. Never expect too much for the age of your. child, but even
1 1/2-2 year old children can learn to say "please" and "thank
Small children learn more by example and consistency than by
being forced to do things. If a parent hits a child to make him be-
1 have, the child learns to solve problems by fighting and misbehav-
lor. When the authority figure at home Is reasonable and under-.
standing, the child learns to be respectful, reasonable, and
understanding.
Small children should learn the difference between inside be-
havior and outside behavior. It is all right to run, play, and yell
when outside, but, they have to learn to walk, speak softly, and lis-
ten when inside.
Children should be allowed to be expressive, and they should
be listened to with respect. This develops self-esteem and makes
them feel good about themselves.
When parents have laid the groundwork carefully arid children
come to school ready to listen and learn, much can be accom-
plished. When there is more and more to learn everyday, it is a
shame for even one day of school to be disrupted or lost because
someone in the class is misbehaving. Teachers can only be expected
to teach if parents send them children ready to learn.

Tips for A

Tips for Avoiding and repel-
ling mosquitos:
Mosquitoes generally are
more prevalent in wooded and
swampy areas, and tend to be
most active during dawn and
dusk hours.
The Asian Tiger mosquito,-'
introduced into Florida in 1986,
feeds during the day and is found,
in close proximity to human, habi-
tation. If you notice biting mos-
quitoes during the day, follow the
same recommendations as those.
for high-risk times and places.
Wear protective clothing;,
long pants, long-sleeved shirt,
shoes, and socks during times.,
and in locations of high mosquito
incidence. Be aware mosquitoes
can bite right through t-shlirts
and other lightweight, tight-fitting
clothing.
During periods of excessive-
ly high mosquito incidence, stay
indoors as much as possible.
*'Use insect repellent before
going into high-risk areas or
when outside during high-risk
times., The most effective protec-
tion may be obtained through the
use of products containing at
least 20 to 30 percent diethyl to-
luamide (DEET)*. Follow the di-
rections carefully and do not over
apply. Mosquitoes will bite unpro-
tected skin, so apply repellent to
all exposed areas of the body as
well as to your clothing. Don't al-
low repellent to get in your eyes,
nose, or mouth.
Do not rely on electronic
bug killers or ultrasonic repel-
lents for protection. They have
not been shown to be effective.
When in high-risk locations
or during high-risk times, donot
wear perfumed soaps, sprays, or
other sweet smelling formulas
that might attract mosquitoes.
Keep window screens and
screened rooms in good repair.
Screen doors should open
outward and have automatic clos-
ing devices and latches to prevent
them from being accidentally left
ajar.
Extra care should be taken
with children under age five,
adults over age: 55, and those
with weakened immune systems
due to chronic illness. Those pop-
ulations: are at greater risk from
mosquito-borne diseases.
Call the environmental
health unit of your county health
department to find out if there is
a mosquito abatement program
(spraying) in your area. If not. ex-
tra care in following these recom-
mendations may be warranted.
Studies have shown that
those who take precautions are,
much less likely to be at risk from
mosquito-borne diseases.
*Some people may be sensi-
tive to DEET and experience skin
reactions such as rashes. A very,,.
small number of more serious
cases involving children (includ- d!
ing a few deaths) have been re-
ported that 'may have been linked
to the repellent. For this reason,
health officials recommend that
products containing DEET not be
used on children age five and un-
der. Those with concerns should
consult their family physician or
pediatrician. For those who are
sensitive to DEET, products con-
taining oil of citronella may pro-
vide an alternative.
Tips on eliminating mosquito
breeding sites on your property:
The objective is -to eliminate
all sites where mosquitoes can
breed, Remember, some species
of mosquitoes can breed in:as lit-
tle as one-half inch of standing
water.
Some mosquitoes can hatch
in as little as one week. Where
water must be available-as for
pets and other animals-it is nec-
essary to change the water and
flush out "the container at least
once a week to disrupt the breed-
ing cycle of mosquitoes.
*Clean out eaves, troughs, "
and gutters.
*Remove old tires or drill
holes in. those used for play-
ground equipment to allow them
to drair~.
*Turn over or remove plastic
pots.

From the

Wewahitchka

High School
By Larry A. Mathes
A tighter stand towards discipline took a step closer to reality
when the School Board reviewed the written plans submitted by the
principals and gave a green light to begin implementation this fall'.
There were- comments to the effect that some favorable remarks
were heard from the public after last week's column, which was
heartening. Only a few will rise against improvement in the disci-
pline in our schools, and those will be parents whose students start
showing up at home sooner than they have in the past.
We simply cannot continue to provide baby-sitting service .to
the public. We are supposed to educate students, and in order to do
.that we must have their cooperation, and because of the numbers
Involved, we must aim our efforts where the most good can be ac-
complished, and that is teaching those students that want to learn,
or at least those who will allow,us to teach them, evenif they're not
too thrilled about being at school. We can't teach someone who re-
fuses to be taught and instead views school as a playground. One of
the most precious things we offer in this country is a free basic edu-
cation for anyone who will take it, but it's time we face the fact that
there are some young people who choose not to be educated in the
system we can afford to offer. .
The principals will continue to refine the discipline plans until
we can honestly say improvement is taking place. This may take
Implementing stronger and stronger methods. The sad part is.. it .
ought not be necessary-school should be the best time, of a young
person's life instead of constant friction and problems. The fact is,
many students go through the year without any problems. So, it is
possible. It all depends on your individual attitude towards educa-
tion.
Copies of the plan revisions will be furnished to every student
and parents. As always, meetings at the beginning of school will be

OLDER

FEET
Older men and women
have more feet problems than
young people. For one thing.
some problems arise from
changes related to aging --
for example, a decline in-
thickness of cushioning tis-
sue, skin dryness that weak-
ens _.,ptecton. from cuts and
Infection,, and nail thicken-.
ing. These add to the effects
of a life time of wear and tear
on the feet. And then there
are a host, of foot problems
created by overall disorders,
such as arthritis and dia-
betes.
Many older people mista-.
kenly think they have to put
up witth foot pain and re-
duced mobility as part of ag-
ing. 'The good news is that
the podiatrist usually can re-
lieve pain and in most cases
can successfully treat many
types of elderly foot problems.
Moreover, regular foot check-
ups can help to prevent new
problems. When was the last
time you saw the podiatrist?

If you have any encourage-
ment from being united with
Christ,, if any comfort from his
love. if any fellowship with the
Spirit, if any tenderness and
compassion, then make my joy
complete by being like-minded,
having the same love, being
one in spirit and purpose.
Philippians 2:1-2
"Being like-minded" was un-
doubtedly an important idea to
the apostle Paul. He uses. the
phrase ten times in Philippians
alone. And 23 of the,26 times the
phrase is used'in the New Testa-
ment are in Paul's writings. Liter-
ally, the phrase means "to think,
the same thing." But what exactly,
doesPaul mean by this .concept?
Many commentators suggest
that it means tb think not so
much in an intellectual. sense,
but it involves emotions, atti-
tudes, and will. Paul is not plead-
ing for drab uniformity of
thought. He is also not insisting
on everyone holding in common a
particular opinion. Such a de-
mand by its very nature would
contribute to dissension. We all
have experienced the, lesson of
the magnet--opposltes do seem
to attract-but how powerfully
like poles of personality repel.'
Being like-minded is the
beautiful phenomenon of a total
inward attitude of mind or dispo-
sitioh of will that strives after that
one thing which is greater than
any human t.uth. Such an atti-
tude cannot be characterized by

the Cabbage Palm. My informa-
tion on palms was provided by
Extension Urban Horticulture
Specialist Dr. Robert Black.
The Cabbage Palm is found in
all parts of our state, except the
extreme western portion. It's an
upright, single-trunked palm with
fan-shaped leaves. You can easily
recognize this tree ,by the criss-
crossed design along its trunk.
These crisscrosses are called
"boots.", They are what's left after
decayed leaf stalks .fall off the
palm a process, that continues
until very old age.
Other common single-
trunked varieties Include the
Washiington Palm, Royal, Queen,
Canary Island, and Pygmy Palms.
The Washington Palm i very tall.
'with a slender trunk and fah
shaped leaves. It's often seen
along residential streets. The Roy-
al Palm is a spectacular species.
Its massive trunk resembles a
concrete pillar, and it has a green
collar that extends down from the
top. Royal Palms may exceed 80
feet in height. The Queen Palm is
a tall-growing variety with a
smooth trunk and feathery
leaves. The Canary Island Date
Palm, which also has feathery
leaves, some-what resembles a
Pineapple. It's another variety
used for lining streets. The Pygmy
Palm. also a Date variety, is' a
dwarf species with beautiful dark
green foliage.
Besides these popular single-
trunked palms, there are quite a
few that grow ih clusters, with
several stems or trunks. Probably
the.most common of these cluster
types is the Areca (ah-REEK-ah)
Palm. It's a low-giowing' variety
with smooth, slim, yellow-rtnged
stems and .feathery foliage. The
Areca is well. adapted for either
indoor or outdoor. use..
The Paurotis (paw-ROW-Us),
which Is more commonly called
the Saw Cabbage Palm, is found
in swamps'and undrained soils of
extreme South Florida. Like the

Areca, the slender trunks of this
species usually grow in large
clumps. The Saw Cabbage Palm
has fan shaped leaves, and may
reach a height of 40 'feet.
Yet another cluster type is
the Rhapis (RAPE-Is) Palm. It's a
low growing, fan leaved variety.
having many reed-like stems.
These palms, which prefer semi-
shaded locations, make very good
tub specimens. Rhapis Palms
also may be used for group plant-
ings.
In addition to upright and
cluster type palms, there are va-
rieties-such as the Saw Palmet-
to-which grow quite close to the


ta-


ground. The Saw Palmetto is
found throughout Florida. The
. runk of this native species usu-
ally almost parallels the soil sur-
face. However, occasional speci-
mens have Inclined, or even
upright, trunks.
We've mentioned only a few
palms that can be used as orna-
mentals in Florida. There are
many more-both native and Im-
ported. From this wide selection,
you're sure to find some that are
well-suited to your environment
and landscape needs. Try some
palms. They add an enjoyable.
tropical touch to your surround-
ings.
