Hays, Jr., said of a project currently' n progress by Sunbelt Resources, Inc., of Ala- bama. Hays led a delegation from the Avenue A neighborhood, near the project, In making his com- plaint to the City Commission Tuesday night. Hays, Era Boule and Dorothy Daniels each said the project was causing them problems with health as well as creating a miserable situation in their homes. Sunbelt is burning the dirt in and around the Apalachicola Northern Railroad depot, to rid it. of a three-quarter century of ac- cumulated oil and contaminants on orders of the Department of Environmental Services of Flori- da. The DES has ordered the dirt be sent through an asphalt fur- nace-like machine and the con- taminants burned ouL PEOPLE DISTURBED Hays told the Commission the-operation had filled the near- by homes with dust and fumes. "The Apalachicola Northern Rail- road [who Sunbelt is working fori has-told us they will clean up the homes and property, but mean- while, we're suffering from odors and constant noise," he said. Hayes said they had contact- ed DES which came Monday and inspected the site. Mayor Frank Pate informed Hayes the City Commission had no authority to do anything, since the ANRR is in an industrial - zone_. "But; if you -have-oUtfled DES. you went to the proper source to get something done if it is causing a nuisance. They or- dered the work be done in the first place," he said. "I have been told they only have about a week to gb on the project," he added. Hays said Sunbelt had in- stalled sprinklers in an attempt to keep down the dust, but said they weren't settling it all. The Commission said they would write DES a letter outlining the complaints and. send it imme- diately. 'That may give you a little relief," Mayor Pate said.

GARBAGE SCHEDULE The City is switching its gar- bage collection service over to only one route serving the com- plete city. In the past, the service has operated two collection com- pactors on two routes. The move is being made to. save the expense ,of operating one of the trucks and manning it with a second crew. Under. the new collection plan, which is to take effect the middle of May, the collection var- ies some In portions of the City, with pick-up days changed. Under the new routing of the single truck operation the north- emr portion of the city will be col- lected on Monday and Tuesday, with the southern portion receiv- ing pick-up service Thursday and Friday. Commercial pick-up service schedules will remain the same. Frank Healy. public works superintendent, said he would have a schedule ready, along with maps to outline collection routes ready for publication In The Star next week. APPROVE PURCHASE The Commission approved an agreement with Gulf County to purchase the jointly-owned com- pactor on Industrial Road. The county agreed to sell their share of the facility to the city for $50,000 cash and a used fire truck, which has been appraised at $17,500. The county will use the flre truck In one of its rural stations. .- :Under the agreement,--the-city agreed to pay the county half of any revenues they may receive in the future from the facility over and above $115,000. Two Win Posts; No Opposition Two incumbent City Commissioners were the only ones to fill out their qualification papers to seek election to the City Commission by the dead- line yesterday at noon. Board members John- ny Linton and Bill Wood have been re-elected to their third term in office by virtue of the fact that they have no opposition seeking their offices. City Charter provides that elections will be. waived where the candi- dates have no opposition. The two Commission- ers will begin their new two-year terms in office at the first meeting in June.

Dr. Lawrence King will have offices here in Port St Joe at the local clinic, but will be working in both the Port St. Joe and Apa- lachicola clinics. Dr. King comes to Port St. Joe from a private practice in Panama City, where he was locat- ed for several years. During his tenure, in Panama City, Dr. King was affiliated with Gulf Pines, where he served in a fill-in capac- ity. . Recently moved to Gulf Pines, near Cape San Bias, Dr. King is still affiliated with Gulf Pines Hospital, being on the staff there, as well as Provident Medical's sis- ter hospital in Apalachicola. Dr. King, a Pediatrician, is a native of Colorado and a graduate of the University of Florida Medi- cal School. He has been affiliated with the Nemours Clinic on a part-time basis, since last July, but now comes to serve in a full- time capacity. The new doctor likes to play tennis and ride a racing bicycle in his spare time.

"Judge" Nolan is seen shaking a finger at the two culprits, and saying, "Naughty! naughty! Tsk, tsk, tsk!" In the photo at right, attorney Bob Moore, who makes a fair portion of his living keeping people from behind bars, finds himself there, attempting to raise his bail. Rocky Com- forter was seen on Reid Avenue, in the street with a tin cup, panhandling to raise his bail.

I 1 I rrA f~~LZ2 THE STAR PAGE TWO THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1994 Find Another Way AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS of soul searching, trying to ar- rive at a decision as to whether or not we should personally sup- port the national medical program as an idea which would do the people of the nation the most.good, we have definitely ar- rived at the conclusion that we cannot support it in any manner. Universal medicine and the government regulations it would bring about is simply not in the best interest of all concerned- even the government-according to what we see and what we have read on the subject. In the first place, we believe the large percentage of our na- tion's people have access to what is undoubtedly the finest medi- cal care which can be obtained in all the world, no matter where you go. People from every nation on this globe presently come to the United States -of America with their hopeless medical cases, hoping for a miracle from this top-notch medical service. There is a valid reason for this. CHANGING THE SYSTEM might possibly. make the service better. There is enough doubt that this could happen that we're not willing to risk it. There is enough "maybe's" and "might's" about the financing and operation of this very important service to our people that we don't want to take a gamble on it. Once the medical community of this nation has been changed, it will re- main that way for a long, long time. If it won't work, it'll be too late. We don't think it will work. THERE IS NOBODY IN this nation denied medical attention of any sort, if they need it. Granted, the cost is 'high, but at least you can get it. If the system is changed as drastically as Presi- dent Clinton and his supporters want, we may be able to afford it, but will it be available on demand any longer? The main ingredient which is absent from our present medi- cal system is a lack of medical insurance by about .10% of the nation's people. The largest number of those are without simply because they don't want to spend the money for the coverage when they aren't sick. Coverage isn't available for a small minority and these, are the ones who need the. attention. But, we don't need the system wrecked for the vast majority to provide medical coverage for the small minority. Find another way, guys. Relax, White City THE WHITE CITY water system construction project is a fine example of what can happen to our medical system if it is tampered with. The White City water system installation is way. behind schedule and the people are worried they might not be getting the quality system their money paid for. This is a com- mon occurrence when such a project is built or operated by the low bidder. The low bidder is the low bidder for some reason. Of course, one has to do something to keep from being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people, who would skin you good if they had the opportunity. In this instance, the people of White City have the County Commission-one of whom lives in White City-taking care of their interests. But,' suffice it to say that in such instances .i public board can have its hailds full coping with -people yh.sage ' determined to make up for their low bids somewhere. .; WE THINK THE PEOPLE of White City are getting a good deal. .one which will serve the community for years to come. In such a small community, it's kind of hard to get by with any shenanigans, even if-someone wanted to. In this instance, we don't think Lhat is the case and the people of that community have nothing to worry about. But, it's a prime example of how things can slip by with us staring right at them. The contractor at White City has just lapsed into taking his time. The Qounty Commissioln will see that he doesn't abuse the practice without it costing him money. But, if that were a heart transplant, say, or a hip replace- ment, or even treating your child for a broken arm or leg; would you be delighted with leaving the task to the lowest bidder, one designated by the government, or would you want to make your own choice of who did the job? No matter what the cost! WE MANAGE TO GET ourselves tangled up in a mess at times because of the tendency of hiring the low bidder to per- form tasks.for us. Personally, we had rather select the craftsman we want and trust to look after our interests. When it comes to matters of health-and a water system can reasonably fit that category-we want a man we explicitly trust to slice our belly open in a surgical procedure. If we don't know the man, but have him designated by some government official, how do we know he is deserving of our faith? I heard about that lady over in Arkansas who invested a thou- sand dollars in cattle futures- and got back A HUNDRED. THOUSAND 'DOLLARS! Son of a gunl Cattle! I couldn't hardly be-. lieve my ears! I'm thinking seri- ously about riding over there right now and asking her how she did it. Listen. I know cattle fu- .. tures. I know the ins and outs, the ups and downs. I never be- lieved anyone could manage that kind of profit banking on cattle. As a matter of fact, that's the most money by far I've ever "heard tell of' being made in the risky and unsure cattle business. I still can't fathom how she did it! And like I said, I know and un- derstand the game. You see, me and cattle fu- tures go way back. I came home after my first unker Down with Kes by Kesley Colbert [heir Numbers Are the Same day in the first grade feeling about as low as you could get. Although no one had said any- thing about my hand-me-down shoes that were two sizes too big, I know everyone noticed. : "Dad, I need a new pair of shoes." "Son, I'm going to sell a couple of cows come late September. You hold on 'til, then-we'll buy you the finest shoes .... " Early in life, I was banking on the future of two lop-eared old cows. I mostly kept my feet under the desk and waited for September. It was ,a long wait. Both of those cows came down with the worst case of pink-eye I've ever seen. Doctor Holmes had to come out twice and work on, 'em. Doc was not really a veteri- narian, we didn't have, one of those, but after he'd fixed all the people down at his clinic, he'd come out and help you with your animals in an emergency, , The Tri-County Stockyards frowned on you bringing in cows with pink-eye. We had to carry those two through another win- ter. Instead of getting about six hundred dollars a piece for them-we put another two hun- dred of hay and medicine Into 'em. One of those cows died of old age before we could sell her and by the third grade it didn't matter anyway-I 'had grown into those shoes. You want to talk about cattle futures with. me, drag up a chair. My dad tried 'em all. We had Black Angus, Brahmas, Charolais, Herefords, Polled Herefords, .and several In be- tween. We always kept a milk cow or two around, usually asHolstein' or a Jersey. We .even, had a Ayrshire once. Dad sure : was proud of her. But I never thought she gave much milk and she was mean as all get-out. She kicked half the stall down one fine ,winter morning and Dad sold her soon afterwards-for less than. he paid for her. SLitlde League was Just around the corner. My old, Revelation glove had a hole in .the pocket. "Kes,' I know'you need a new. glove. The market's down right now, let's give it a few /weeks. We're going to sell off all our brown cows . I believe it was Anthrax that summer., Or maybe Foot-and- Mouth disease. Anyway, they all got sick. Doctor Holmes was mak- ing more money on our cattle than we were. My older brother got to explaining that we'd be bet- ter off if one died.,"Kes, we'll skin It out, tan the hide, get us some cotton for stuffing and we'll make our own gloves." Lebn had abdut "give up" on cattle futures. I think part of. the problem was most everyone,, around us also raised a few head of cattle. They'd all drop calves, inn the spring, feed 'em up right on clo- ver and bunch grass all summer and '"sell down" their herd in the fall so they wouldn't have to feed .'em through the winter. Most everybody was buying at the same time and selling at the same time. I didn't know didley about 'supply' and demand and cash flow and controllable and .uncontrollable market 'factors- but I did know that if we went to (See KESLEY 'Page 3) .. 1" e ''.''.."' w -.- 4, ~ - j~ A' % ~ -: ~ ...`~, -. : ; L. 4' More Government Notices; We Must Enlarge Our Facilities I HEARD A hammering out in the back shop the other day, which disturbed my. very fragile skein of unaccustomed thought. It wasn't light hammering, either. It was the Fram! Bang! Crash! type of hammering; almost like a sledge hammer; I tried to ignore it but it wouldn't go away. You know how it is with unaccustomed noise. There's not supposed to be any hammering going on around those presses, either. You 'treat them delicately. So, I could stand it, no longer. I had to find out what was going on in the- back shop, bad enough to get up from my spot, slaving over a hot com- puter and sashay to the back to find out for myself what the prob- lem was. Well, what I found was Willie nailing up another, government notice which all our employees are duty-bound to read in order to find out just what their rights ETAOIN SHRDLU By Wesley Ramsey 0 are. Around here, they know what their rights are. Their rights are to o anything they want to ex- cept drink the last Diet Dr. Pep- per out of the refrigerator. That's minel I MADE AN immediate deci- sion with my observation. It was a decision which can't be put off any longer. There's a definite need. I decided we needed an addi- tion to the rest room in the back shop. The' evidence is there. We can do without it no longer. A rest room is a necessity, that's true, but a larger rest room isn't exactly a luxury. In this case, it's also a necessity! You see, Willie was nailing that government notice, under demand that we display it in a,, prominent place for all to see, on top of another notice which was under orders to be prominently displayed. Here in The Star that promi- nent place where our government notices are nailed up is on the rest room wall. There's notices from Work- man's Compensation, Social Se- curity, Sexual Harassment, OSHA, Employees Rights, Toxic 'Substances, Job Safety and a host of others. The rest room wall is too small to accommodate all these. notices. Thus the crying need, verily, the emergency need for an' expan- sion of the rest room in the press room here at The Star.. I HAVE SURVEYED the mat- ter and find that if we move the Employee Safety poster. off the east wall and extend in that di- rection, the addition will allow for the poster to be replaced and have room for one or two more. Some of the notices are yel- lowed with age, but we don't dare, remove them "under penalty of law", it says. I wouldn't want to be placed under the ,penalty of the law. I would surely get. 10 years -in prison, for tearing down one of those notices. Of course, if it were a robbery offense, with a gun, I cduld count on getting by with maybe a maximum of three years. No sense tempting fate. THE REAL REASON we're going to enlarge the rest room is to get more room to nail govern- ment posters on the wall, which must be displayed. I suppose we could just nail the-posters and notices up some- where else but there's' no place on the premises ,where we can guar- antee every person -who works here will pass by and see them. The only spot- which would be more conspicuous is on- the wall inside the rest room, opposite the commode. We have pretty much .of, a 'captive 'audience in there with .not much else to do except read the posters. That would take an expan- sion program, also, to come up with enough inside wall to attach the notices. We could put some notices inside and some outside, but that would crowd out the magazine rack and the stack of newspa- pers. I WANT MY EMPLOYEES to be well informed of what's availa- ble to them and .know what their rights are. So does the govern- ment-both state and national- which is the incentive to enlarge the rest room. ' I wonder how other business places handle this ticklish sub-. ject? Are they having to enlarge their rest room, too, or was it large enough already? We removed the bath tub from the rest room several years ago so there would be, more room inside. That settled that need to provide more space, but I'm not sure I could remove anything else, just to make more poster room. I still wouldn't have enough room and besides,. it wouldn't be a rest room then, it would be a broom closet. ."\ St..Joseph Bay I Date Time Ht.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, APRL 21, 1994 Nickolas Under The Knife Again Undergoes Procedure To Relieve Pressure and Proceed On Into Adulthood No Sympathy In Singapore Michael Fay, 18, of Dayton., has gotten himself in a heap-of- trouble in Singapore. Mr. Fay was caught vandalizing cars with spray paint and eggs and tearing down traffic signs. ,He was caught and pled guilty. When Mr. Fay went on his destructive tear, he must have been drinking something awfully strong or had a lapse of memory and thought he was still in America. Whatever the case, he should have had better sense than do something like that in Singapore. The au- thorities in Singapore don't "coddle" criminals like we do here in the' United States. A good' case in point is Tonya Harding. Everyone knows what she did and she not, only got off scott-free, she is making tons of money from. the publicity surrounding her crime. But Mr. Fay was not as lucky as Ms. Harding. The judge in Sin- Sapore has sentenced Mr. Fay to four months in prison, fined him 2,215, -and awarded him a "flogging" of six ,whacks on the bare buttocks with'a cane, administered by a martial arts expert. This punishment sometimes leaves permanent : scars, they say. That's why they flog them on the buttocks: Every time they sit down after that, they think about the bad things .they did and are reminded not to do it again. That's the way it was when I was a child growing up in Ferry Pass. My mother would flog me if I did something wrong, except she did it with a persimmon switch. She would warn me, "If you do that again, I'm 'gonna tan your hide!" And, believe me. she would do it. That's probably the'reason I'm not in prison or dead today. Thanks. Mother. But back to Mr. Fay and his dilemma. Yes sir, Mr. Michael Fay is in some hot water. I read that President Clinton has called the punishment extreme, but what does he know? That's what the au- thorities in Singapore told him when he complained through the U.S. Embassy In Singapore. In effect, they told Mr. Clinton to mind' -his own business. That's what my mother would have told him, too, if he had said something to her when she was about to tan some- one's hide. ,. "Now, listen here, Mr. Man., she probably would have said. "You just get on that plane and get yourself back up there to Wash- ington and mind your own business or you'll get one, tool' The ironic thing about this incident, though. is that most of the reaction from Americans (with any sense) has been in favor of Mr. Fay getting his just reward. Most people who called or wrote in about the flogging think he deserves it and also think he should en- act some of it in the United States. Some people want it to be a public flogging. i Syndicated columnist Mike Royko recently wrote a column about the Fay incident, and he reports that he received a stack of letters "several inches high", and 99 percent wrote that "yes. hoo- ray, (Fay) should be flogged." Personally. I thing they should not give Mr. Fay six whacks with the cane: I think he should get 25 and they should just forget the fine and jail Lime. That or let someone like my mother tan his hide with a persimmon switch. Either way, Mr. Fay would think twice (maybe three or four times) before he defaced someone's property again. An article I read quoted a letter from Silver Spring, MD. which said. "I urge you to ...vigorously apply Singapore law to the crimi- nal's rear end." I couldn't have said it better. I only wish Tonya Harding had committed her crime in Singapore. I would have flown over there to watch. ^- --^ Kesley from Page 2 the Tri-County Stockyard auction on Wednesday afternoons to buy. prices were sky high.

Upset stomach and diar- rhea are the usual results of food poisoning, but sometime symp- toms may be, more severe and may even lead to death. There are many different causes for food poisoning, and nearly all may be prevented by proper food-handling practices and personal cleanliness. The fol- lowing are ten rules for safe food preparation: *Wash your hands repeatedly. Always wash your hands before handling food and after using the bathroom. *Do not prepare food If you have sores on your hands or if you feel sick. *Avoid contact between raw foods and cooked foods. Clean surfaces and utensils after use with raw meat or poultry before use with other foods. "Keep all kitchen surfaces meticulously clean. *Cook food thoroughly. This is es- pecially important for meats, eggs, poultry and seafood. Juice from cooked meats should run clear. *Eat cooked food immedi- ately. Serve hot foods hot (at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit), and cold foods cold (less than. 50 degrees Fahrenheit). *Store cooked foods carefully. Cool food rapidly and keep refrigerated until serving time. Large batches may. need to be split into smaller containers for rapid cooling. *Reheat cooked foods thoroughly, and serve promptly, while hot. *Wash all fruits and vegetables before serv- ing or cooking. *Protect foods from insects, rodents and other animals.

After that initial learning experience, a great deal of what goes on in early childhood is imitation of what the child sees and hears. Treat- ed with love, kindness and respect, babies will grow up to be adults who deal with the world in a like manner. Children are very perceptive. They know if you-deal with them t- ruthfully or if you say one thing and mean another. A father who pushes. hits, 'and generally abuses his wife cannot expect the chil- dren to respect and obey the mother. Parents teach children to'be good citizens by being good citi- zens themselves. A child will realize 'if his parents are careful to ob- serve laws-traffic and'otherwise. This observation by the child will allow him to accept house iules and rules of behavior better than if he thought he was the only person 'In the world who had to live by rules and regulations. Parents who deal fairly with children and give out praise and punishment where each is.due will teach a child to be fair in his re- lationships at home and at school.. A good example will always go further than "laying down the ,k law". .

If you've followed our advice so far, you should have healthy, vigor- ous tomaiato plants, well on their, way' to producing' high quality fruit. In thit article I will talk about staking and pruning. Staking and pruning are "fine tuning" techniques. They are not absolutely necessary.

I'll cover -these .Capitol NEWS ROUND-UP by Jack Harper I toyed with the idea of calling this column "Capitol Circus" so I could 0) use one of my. favorite journalistic axioms in a drop line below it reading: "It's alright to write about the circus, but don't fall in love with the ele- phants." , I discarded the idea as a little too flippant and left the naming of the column to the editors. But now, after the first regular session, a lot of big newspapers and lawmakers themselves are calling the Florida Legislature a circus and the members animals. .goats. horses, cows, chickens .and hogs." as put by veteran Senate dean. W. D. Childers. D-Pensacola. "Legislature...or Circus? This year's state legislature is one of the worst ever. Why?" said a front page headline in the St. Petersburg Times. The story explained that wasting time on foolish debates on school prayer, chemical ciastration for rapists, and public nudity left the real is- sues of juvenile justice, prisons, the Everglades cleanup, health care, and even the budget to the last awesome closing hours of the session. Hey! What else is new? It was that way the first session I covered in 1967 and most all of the ones I've been around before retiring in 1987. The reasons for this "worst than a circus" session, says the liberal Times,. is the 20-20 split between Democrats and Republicans in the Sen- ate, the election year, and even single-member districts which make leg- islators parochial. I don't buy any of that. Just stand back a minute and take a look at what was accomplished in this session. Although pollsters, many lobbyists and almost every do-gooder in the state told them not to. lawmakers followed their gut iinstincts to adopt a long-necked comprehensive approach to dealing with the state's young- est criminals. They have for the first time provided enough money-$237 million-to finance the plan that balances punishment with prevention and treatment.; Perhaps, it took national shame and loss of tourist dollars in the af- termath 'of the murder of a tourist in the rest stop near Monticello to bring it on, but no longer will the young punks of Florida be able to laugh at judges, police and theirivictims in the travesty that is the juvenile jus- tice system. ' The circus legislators also begin a long-needed crack down on the' parents of the bad kids, making them subject to "parenting classes" if their kids stay in trouble. Under the new law, judges could order parents to perform community service, like cleaning up trash or vandalized prop- erty; or even make them pay for the costs of, detaining their kids who break the law.-'n fact, under the law, if the parents are on welfare'theii check*'iould be cut if their children stay in trouble. *' - I right not work, of course. Only time will tell, but 'it is an honest start. This circus session also gave us a start in the clean-up of the Ever- glades and put enough money in prisons so that not as many adult crim- inals are going to be turned back onto the streets to prey on more inno- cent victims. They didn't find a way to make the criminals pay for their keep behind bars, but maybe they will next year. There were things I disliked about the session, too. 1 didn't like the: way Gov. Chiles and most of the Democratic leadership caved in to the demands of the: black caucus on the Rosewood compensation bill, Nor did I like the way the Democratic Senate leadership-including Pat Thomas and Sen. Rick Dantzler, D-Winter Haven-took a walk when the school prayer bill was brought up so they wouldn't have to vote on it, Neither of those bills'worried me much. I just don't like chickens in my circus. I disliked even more the powerful lawmaker privilege of pulling'tur- keys out of the public treasury-like the $4 million aquarium in Broward County and the $500,000 to renovate the courthouse in Gadsden County, as well as many others. It was unethical, I thought, for the spon- sor of a school for public health at Florida A&MN to tell senators it was al- ready funded in the budget when it wasn't. It was stupid of them to be- lieve Sen. Betty Holzendor, D-Jacksonville, and pass her amendment which, thankfully. was killed by the conference committee. All of the bills-including the line items in the budget-can still be vetoed by the old turkey hunter in the governor's mansion, but don't count on it. He's got his eye on Republican turkeys. v.'hat with the elec- tion this year, and just won't see those Democratic turkeys. All in all, I liked this circus session with that-split Senate, and those IHispanics and blacks from those single-member districts. It was interest- ing and the product got out about as well as it did back in those early porkchop days of Florida when everything was run by white males mostly from the rural areas. HERE'S THE CAPITOL ROUNDUP: Florida lawmakers in overtime session Ipst week appropriated mil- lions of new dollars for juvenile justice programs and prisons, set,up an historic clean-up plan for the polluted Everglades, and took a short first step toward performance-based budgeting. But they left hanging a massive health care reform package that Gov. Eawton Chiles says he will call them back into special session in June to. complete. They also let. die a bill to allow voluntary prayers at high school events that had passed the House, but couldn't get a two-thirds vote in the Senate. The $38.6 billion budget for 1994-95 that goes into effect July 1 if signed by Gov. Chiles is 8.9 percent higher than the current budget. It, includes $237 million for new juvenile justice programs and $267 million to:expand the adult prison system to hold 17,033 additional prisoners. '; Senate President Pat Thomas, D-Quincy, said the heavy emphasis on. making Floridians safe from crime was a clear response to what the pub- lic asked from their state leaders. He said the legislation includes new de- tention facilities and boot camps as well as money for prevention pro- grams:. , Chiles blamed the failure to adopt the health care package on politics and said he would bring lawmakers back in the summer when it'll be "kind of hard to campaign when you're in chambers." Senate Republicans-who took most of the blame from Chiles-said ' he' was trying to use the health-care issue as a springboard for his elec- tion campaign. They objected to, using state and federal Medicaid money to' subsidize health insurance costs for families of four who make less than $37,000 a year. Instead, they wanted to offer subsides only to fami- lies making-less than $22,000.. Chiles favors the Everglades restoration bill-passed by both Hous- es-that will tax sugar and vegetable growers and other South Florida property owners and condemn 2,000 acres of farm land needed to help in the cleanup and protect Florida Bay. ,.Most environmental groups opposed it, claiming agriculture, should pay a bigger share. They are pinning their hopes on a proposed constitu- tional amendment that may be on the November ballot putting a penny tax a pound on raw sugar to help finance the cleanup. A landmark budget reform bill that appeared dead in the Senate was revived and sent to Gov. Chiles last week. Opposed mostly by state agen- cy managers, it sets up a process to start measuring the effectiveness of programs rather than automatically pouring money into them because they are there. The system is to be implemented gradually over the next eight years, beginning July 1 in the Department of Revenue. It is favored by Chiles. pI procedures in some detail, ex- plaining how and why they're done. My information was provid- ed by Extension Vegetable Spe- cialist Jim Stephens. Staking tomato plants as they grow .will keep the fruit off the ground and conserve space in the garden. Staking also makes it easier to cultivate and harvest to- matoes and it helps prevent some fruit rots. . First, a few words of caution, about staking. Staked plants are more subjepctto a condition called . blossom-end rot than tomatoes which are allowed to grow natu- rally. You must be careful to avoid plant root injury when you drive the stakes into the ground." Some popular tomato varie- ties' Which benefit form staking' are Floradel,. Tropic Indian River., and Manapal. Those which do' well unstaked include Walter, Tropi-Red, Homestead, and Flora- merica. One' method of staking which seems to work well is to use 1x2 wooden stakes about six to eight feet long. Drive these abut two feet into the soil, -keeping them three !to four inches from each. plant.. As the plants grow, tie them ,to ithe stakes with string, , soft twine, or strips of rags. You'll probably need to make between four and six ties during the grow- ing season.' Always be sure you make the ties below the, fruit' clusters. Pruning is the process of re- moving the small shoots that de- velop between the leaf stems and the main plant stems. Removing these shoots, or 'suckers', reduc- es the total number of fruit that your plants produce, but it caus- es the fruit that is produced to be Tomatoes should, be pruned 'about once a week. And, it's best to prune by hand, holding a shoot firmly between your thumb and forefinger, bending it to one side until it snaps. Then, pull the ': shoot off in the opposite direc- tion. Reversing the direction is necessary to prevent injury to the leaf axil or the main stem. When you prune, leave two or three main stems for plant devel- opment. And, be careful not to disturb the fruit buds which ap- pear just above or below the' point where the leaves are attached to the leaf.stems.- .' . Staking and pruning are ben- eficial steps in tomato culturing. As I said, staking certain varieties keep fruit off the ground, reduc- ing some disease problems. And; it helps conserve space in the gar- den. Pruning removes the small side' branches, called suckers, which form between 'the main stems and 'leaf stems.

But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Co- rinthians 1:23-24, NKJV) In the so-called "Church Growth" movement, a man named George Barna Js considered to be one of the authorities. His writings repre- sent a fairly solid analysis of the mood and mentality of religion in America. In one of his books, he makes a provocative statement- 'There is a fine line between clever marketing and compromised spiri- tuality." Many have jumped aboard the marketing movement with lit- tle regard for Barna's warning. While I often agree with Barna's analy- sis, in my estimation, he-like most of his advocates-crosses the line between the clever and the compromised. Some claim that all this is the same old Gospel message in a new medium. There Is no doubt that we are often outwitted and outworked by the opposition. Substance and style need not stand as opposites. A great message can get lost in a sloppy presentation. But methods and message are so closely related, to be accommodating in our methods often means compromise in our message. Like most deadly sins, this is a subtlety.

The compromise is costly- righteousness becomes shallow piety, worship becomes entertainment, Christian fellowship becomes church dinners, and Discipleship be- comes recreation. In crossing over, the Cross is what is lost. The Cross is not only central, it is crucial. Max Lucado rightly says of the cross: "Every witness either steps toward it or away from it. It simultaneously compels and repels. And you are either on one side or the other. A choice is demanded. We can do what we want with the cross. We can examine its history. We can study its theology. We can reflect upon its prophecies. Yet the one thing we can't do is walk away in neutral. No fence sitting is permitted The cross, in its absurd splendor, doesn't allow that." (No Wonder They Call Him Savior. p. 73). While I sometimes agree with Barna's diagnosis, his cure is a bit- ter pill to swallow and borders on a medicine of malpractice. Let us be warned: Worldly methods most often yield worldly results. The locomo- tive that drives this train is the thinking that growth is the greatest good. If it reaches; it must be right. If it grows, it must be of God. Un- precedented growth has become the sole measure of ministerial suc- cess. I constantly remind myself of the words of the Quaker Theolo- gian, Elton Trueblood: "The measurable may be but a fraction of what is really meaningful." This Is not sour grapes. Our church is growing. But the most Important measures of a church cannot always be re- ported statistically. The medical profession has a term for uncontrolled, unneeded, meaningless growth. They call it cancer. Marketing the church may be more of a malignancy in the body of Christ than most of us would care to admit. Wewahitchkal A Elementary News...

Parents Make the Difference One of the worst things a par- ent can say to a child, notes De- bora Phillips, Ph.D.. author of How To Give Your Child A Great Self Image (Random House, 1989), is "If you try harder, you can do better." That statement' implies that the child has more than he's giving, "and he'll always. feel there's some elusive goal he could reach if only he did a little' more," says Phillips. : l"' Instead of focusing on' the end product, concentrate on the' effort your child makes. 'Dpn't' say, 'You're; so smart. I'm really,' proud of'you." but rather, 'Ytou-' really tried hard; you must be so' proud of yourself." .'.

There is a couple of changes in the old process, and they have come up with a couple more auggesorns If you want to tell us what they were Walter, we will go aih it Superintendent .Wilder: The change is there was some discussion about the cheerleader being dismissed and not allowed to come back a year, and that has been reworded as evidenced on page 7. The committee worked it up for you arnd gave it new wording. That's the only change in the entire document that you received that last time you looked atLthe process. . Chairman Redd: Is there any discussion on it? Mr. Hanlon: Yes. I would like to ask some questions Charles. Charles, we are. I think- You had a chance to reslew this whole policy? Mr. Cosun: Yes, I have reviewed Mr. Hanlon: I think It was stated in one of the board meeting that cheerleader ras part of, was considered a sport. Was It not? Mr. Costin I don t know IrM sure it s been re- ferred to as a sport, yes. Mr. Hanlon: Well, if it was considered as a sport in one of ihe board meetings. Irm, sure we' can verify It by going oer tLhe tapes or the ,min- utes We should go on guidelines so the Athletic State Association. athletics In the State of Florida. Am rI correct? In other words, the guidelines or policy procedures, what we may do cannot over- ride them i Mr. CoaLtin Im not sure that a cheerleader would be under the definition of a sport under those guidelines. Mr Harlon Well. as far as )our knowledge if I m reviewing this whole policy. n it a legal. Mr. CosLin- I don't see anything wrong with it Mr. Hanlon Okay. Mr. Costin. Do you have anything in paracular that comes to your mind that you would like to bring out? Mr. Hanion No, the only problem I had with IL I did not dispute this policy that was renewed by the committee and brought to us by the Superin- tendent The only thing I had any problem with was the discipline part which Ia Part 2 The reason I'm elaborating on this. n-aotl) everyboei, done got their Star. The Star had kinda led thal we had Some questions on the selection process. We did not. The selection process or any other section or paragraph in this, I had no problems with; The only one I had with is the Section 2 which is disci-. plinary and that was I felt like that .if a student that was in sports should be treated the same in all sports baseball, basketball, football. It didn't make no difference if they was kicked off the team the year that they was playing, they had a ngit to try out of the next following year, not to make the team so to say, but they had a right to try out I still stand on that. I have no problems with what you got here today, and I just want to be cleared up, and also want to clear up that you did review it as our attorney, and your saying you don't have any problem with the legal part of it.
