1505Dirk F USPS 518-880 FIFTY-SIXTH YEAR, NUMBER 40 HE INDUSTRY -DEEP WATER PORT- FINE PEOPLE SAFEST BEACHES IN FLORIDA PORT ST. JOETHURSDAY, JUNE 2,1994 PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, JUNE 2,1994 Nq More T.V. Or Tobacco Sheriff Al Harrison announced this week he will no longer be operating a "Harrison Hilton" in the Gulf County Jail. "Effective the first day of June, the Gulf County Jail is going to take on a new look. It'll be more like the Harrison Boarding House. offering only room and board to its 'guests'," Sheriff Harrison revealed. The Sheriff said, '"We're turning over another leaf. We're not going to coddle our prisoners any longer. From the looks of our * census, it appears the same ones are coming back again and again. They seem to like it out here and if we make it a little more 'primitive' they might think twice before they do something to cause their return." NO TOBACCO OR TV In order to make the jail more 'primitive'. Sheriff Harrison said that effective June I there will be no more tobacco products allowed in the jail. '"We're going to 'help' our visitors and guests to quit chewing, smoking and dipping, 'cold turkey'!" he said. Sheriff Harrison, himself, has, stopped smoking after many years of the habit and is now determined to make the jail tobac- co-proof. "Not only that," the Sheriff said, "But, we're going to ban all television sets from the cells where the prisoners are kept. It'll be a TV-free period in the jail for our inmates for the time they are here," Harrison said. 'They can have their radios as long as they listen to them with earphones, but no TV!" In the past, the Gulf County Jail has allowed the prisoners inside to pass the time watching TV, as long as they could ob- tain one. 'The jail has never furnished a TV for the inmates," the Sheriff said. "Now, they can't even-bring their own to the cells." AN AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT "It'll be a no-frills experience 'in the Gulf County Jail from this moment on. We're going to continue to give them three good meals a day, a good bed to sleep on and good sanitary facilities, but otherwise, our prisoners are. going to know they are some- where other than home," the Sheriff said. Harrison said he hopes his move will set a pattern for other jails in Florida- to follow. "I'm sure some of them do the same thing we are starting, already. I 'just hope the other counties adopt the same attitude we have here in Gulf County; that jail should seem like punishment for a person's crimes and not a va- cation away from work and responsibilities." Ik Strik Tallahasse Couple and Quincy Man Struck Sunday Afternoon While Enjoying Memorial Day Weekend At St. Joe Beach ' - An afternoon, at the beach turned into the shock of their lives for tw6d mdn "and a woman Sunday just after 'the noon hour, when a bolt of lightning struck near the three, jarring them and burning one of the men. Richard Hackman, 37, of Quincy was the most seriously in- jured of the trio. After the bolt struck, he was unconsciouss and suffering convulsions for several minutes. The other two people, Bryant and Vickie Beck, of'Talla- hassee, no age' available, were momentarily dazed cbut recovered in a short while.. The bolt was' said to have struck 'nearest, Hackman, who suffered bums about the neck and side and on the bottom of both his feet. Hackman's feet were black where ,the electrical charge had gone to'ground. RESCUE, . Both the Gulf .County Sher- , iffs department anid the Florida Highway Patrol were on the scene of the incident, assisting the vic- tims. The Becks'didn't seem to be injured very bad, though both re- ported burns on various places of their bodies and expressed shock at their friend's experience at be- ing knocked unconscious for a' .while by the bolt. their treatment. The Beck couple left under their own power, indicating they: were, headed for the Tyndall Air Force Base Hospital to be exam- ined. Hackman was released after a thorough examination at Gulf Pines and after he had regained his equalibrium and had his bums treated. Hackman was reported to be the only one of the three standing up when the bolt struck. He was apparently looking at the threat- ening clouds and surveying the situation, but his companions were lying on the beach in an at- tempt to get some sun. Although the weather was threatening,' it didn't seem to 'be dangerous, so: the trio didn't attempt to seek 'cover. The lightning bolt was accom- panying a sudden rain squall which struck the coast following the early afternoon experience for the three visitors. The incident occurred at StL Joe Beach at one- of the pull-off parking 'places where the three had parked to go to the beach. It was the only mishap reported in, 'Gulf County during the long week, end which accompanied Memorial Day.

't_ -"%4 T* L'I Ground Breaking SZelda Brown Turns Earth On Sr. Center What' has been a four year dream of the Senior Citizens is fi- nally becoming a reality with the breaking of ground for the new Senior Citizens building last Wednesday. State and local officials gath- ered on the property adjacent to the Gulf County Courthouse to realize the dream, initiated by the late Sules Brown and promoted for three years prior to his death. Brown lived long enough to see tentative plans drawn for the cen- ter, a piece of property designated for its location and a fund drive started to put the building up. NEW LOCATION Both the configuration of the proposed building and its loca- tion have been changed since its Inception. The center will be construct- ed just south of the Gulf County SCity Pays Tribute To War Dead VFWSponsors _... O,- , Prormm, Monday Port St. Joe paid tribute to its war dead Monday morning, in a ,VFW-sponsored Memorial. Day ceremony in front of the City Hall. ",A short but dignified program paid tribute to the fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price to maintain America's freedom. With Memorial Day just days be- j fore the nation observes the 50th anniversary of-"D" Day-the day the Allies invaded Europe at Nor- mandy to defeat the Nazi army of Germany-the emphasis on Mon- day's program was placed on the dead of World War II.L Rev.

(See Tribute on p. 3) Corrine Costin Gibson Library building, which also sits on a 40 acre plot of land originally pur- chased by Gulf county to build the Courthouse and jail on. The County Commission made the property available to the Senior Citizens, when it was found that property provided by the City of Port St. Joe, in the edge of Forrest Park, was unsuit- able for building because of un- stable soil conditions. BREAK GROUND Zelda Brown, widow of the late Stiles Brown, turned the first shovel of earth at the construc- tion site last week, after a short ceremony commemorating the oc- casion. Jim Drake, Executive Direc- tor of the Council on Aging for North Florida, Inc.. was on hand to witness the activities and said Health Dept. Finishes Summer Program John Conboy, a first year medical -student at Florida' State University, is in Port St. Joe for the summer, working through the Gulf County Health Department. Conboy will be workifig under the direction of the Health Department medical officer, Dr. Jim Cersosimo, in a health mainte- nance program for the elderly. The program will continue for the seven weeks during summer between class sessions at FSU. Conboy said he will be focusing on promoting healthy habits such as regular and moderate exercise. "People who will benefit from regular, moderate exercise, such as walk- ing, include people who are trying to lose weight and also people who want to increase their cardiovascular, fitness to decrease their risk for heart attacks," he stated. STARTS MONDAY, JUNE 6 Starting Monday, June 6, at 10:00 a.m., Conboy will hold wellness walks at the high school track. These walks will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 a.m. Anyone interested in an evening program, please call the Health Department. "If there is sufficient demand we will organize an evening exercise program," Conboy said. Gato- rade refreshments will be provided and records kept on each participant's progress in the program. Conboy will also answer questions and give advice on nutrition for diet or energy purposes. The entire program is a free service offered sponsored by the Gulf County Health Department. a few words of praise for Brown's vision and energy in getting the project initiated and underway. Commissioners Charles Tharpe and Wan-en Yeager were on hand, representing the City of Port St. Joe and Gulf county and Walter Wilder was on hand repre- senting the School Board. All gov- ernment agencies have given their support to the project which is expected to cost about $150.,000. Jerry Stokoe. director of the Senior Citizens organization for Gulf County, has been tireless in his fund raising activities over the past two years in order to get the project started. Stokoe says he' now has all the money on hand and. material pledged to build the building. Ike Mincy, a Wewahitch- ka contractor, will do the con- struction work. John Conboy - ~ I t AL < AIT.THE STAR PAGE TWO .-THURSDAY, JUNE 2,1994 Sj We Prayed, Then MONDAY IS "D" DAY in. the United States; the day the Unit- ed States observes as the day of the invasion of Europe during the second World War. Known by the participants as '"The Long- est Day", it was the lorigest day [as well as the shortest for thou- sands] in the lives of nearly 375,000 Allied military men. who took part in the assault which left thousands dead all along a 40 mile stretch of beach in France. ... Men,were tied down to the beach by machine gun and mor- tar fire for hours at a time, being chewed up like hamburger be- fore leadership and desperation set in and the soldiers started to advance on'the German stronghold. Paratroopers who were dropped behind the lines to give as- sistance to the men coming over the beaches, missed their drop* zone due to fog and clouds-some by as much as several miles. But the men reorganized and rallied, attacking the Germans from behind and relieving the beaches churning with men. BUT ONE OF THE more important parts of the war was tak- ing place right, here at home. Admittedly, it was considerably more safe than Omaha, Utah, Gold. Juno or Sword Beaches, but it, was important to the millions coping with the long and bloody war at-home. It was important to the ones who had to sit on the sidelines and wait; loved ones who were dying inside from worry. At home--on that fateful day--the nation stopped what it was doing and prayed. The President stopped presiding over the nation's business and presided over the nation's season of prayer via radio. Business stopped, the stock -market stopped trading, professional baseball and horse, racing stopped. Macy's and Lord & Taylor's closed for the day.'Church bells-even the Liberty Bell-rang, calling the nation to prayer. The nation DID pray, fervently, on that fateful day. In Columbus, Ohio, at 7:30 in the evening, all traffic stopped for five minutes, as the occu- pants of vehicles got in the street and kneeled down for five min- utes of prayer. The nation .was doing .the only thing it could to protect the lives of its sons, husbands and fathers. THE POINT OF THIS piece is, what would our nation do to- day in such, a situation if it were to arise? Can we keep it from arising with our attitude? We have outlawed prayer to Jehovah God at school func- tions, in public gatherifigs, at. government events; we have said, "No more Baccalaureate Services." Reading the Bible can no longer be tolerated in public gatherings. We would have trouble with prayer in the stock market today. Stopping all traffic on any street for five minutes, in order for the vehicle drivers to go to the Lord in prayer would probably land somebody in jail for ob- struction of traffic. And, we wonder why we have so much crime, wars, unrest and violence in the world, as well as crime in our streets. During D Day in Europe, miracles were reported every min- ute along the 40 miles of beach. If it' hadn't been for the "mira- cles", even military men concede the Allies would have, been pushed back into the sea. Prayer worked for D Day; we ignore it now. IT'S ALL OUT IN THE 6pen and offlTicial, now". A newspaper stWry by the Associated Press and published in most of the Flori- da. newspapers has found out, through a poll, that the people of this state are very angry, disillusioned and concerned about the state's attention paid to crime, the tide of refugees flooding the .state, the poor quality of many public schools.and what they see as eroding values. The disillusionment has been verified by a survey conducted by six major newspapers. The survey has revealed that the peo- ple see the problems as being complicated and some of the elect- ed leaders can't be trusted to care for anyone but themselves. IT TOOK A POLL TO show that? If the major newspapers had to sample the public water with a survey in order to find that out, they are not very good at sampling the pulse of the public. Don't these newspapers ever read their "Letters To The Editor"? Aren't they astute enough, to sift the selfish demands from the reasonable? Apparently they .aren't very good feelers of the public pulse for the public has been saying these very things for the past 10 years or so. They have been living in fear, both from the sup- posed safety of their own homes to the open battlegrounds of the streets. NOW, IT IS OUT in the open. The people are mad! They are afraid! They are disgusted with, the performance of their so- called public servants--especially the appointed ones. If things don't change soon, they will do more than mark a square in an opinion poll. They will mark an [XI for somebody else on ballots. bunker Down with Kes: " I. i I don't remember life without Corliss Archer. He lived "Just a lif- tle ways" down the road from us. His mother delivered him in that big two story white house in which she still lives today. The date was September 14, 1946. 1 was born up at Dr. Holmes office 'the following January. Me and Corliss grew up kind'a on the same wave length.' He was proud that he was the "oldest" and every decision mak- ing time he brought it up "Look, I'm the oldest and I say we go down to the ditch."

I was petting it with my right hand and rubbing its stomach occa- sionally and it just up and died. I have learned since that fatal day last Monday, that mouses have a tendency to die sometimes with no warning. They're here to- day at 11:46 and gone today at 11:47. It can be that sudden. Sometimes their passing can take other old familiar things with them, when they suddenly cross the bar. Mine didn't. I found it all still here and func- tioning, with the exception of my Ready set Go,. but I located it lat-' er on, tucked inside the Poster- maker folder somewhere in the. Master Page hard drive. How am I doing with this computer-ese? . You see, it was ,my computer mouse which died. The mouse on the machine which is my person- al computer and nobody else bet- ter to uch it, just turned over and struck its final delete. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND it ei- ther. I furnished the crittur a foam pad to recline: on. It didn't have to move unless a correction needed to be made or the pro- gram needed changing on the computer. As long as I was set- ting straight matter, it 'could just sleep away with nothing to do, It had the best of both worlds. I even kept the room in which it stayed comfortable. The heat was always on in the winter and the AC in the summer. I catered to its every whim..I fed it a bland, even, diet of modulated electrici- ty. Why, just two weeks ago, Teedy Nobles changed., out the' lines feeding the office and put in new modem "pots", so the mouse's diet shouldn't give it in- digestion. It was a steady stream of healthful ohms. IN TRUTH THE little rodent had evidences of failing health. It had my screen jumping around erratically for the past. two weeks; evidence that something was wrong. We never did experiments on this mouse because it wasn't a white mouse. It was grey. Occasi- nally we would stroke its back " and squeeze it behind the ears in order to make different things happen, but nothing beyond its ' capabilities. It just died for no apparent 'reason. Even with all that good treatment and keeping it clear of the experimenter's hands, it wasn't good enough. '. ,,. ONE DAY, TWO. weeks 'ago, I was leading my mouse through a menu and suddenly the menu Disappeared. I didn't know~ what had happened. I tweaked my mouse behind the ears to make it bring back the missing menu and for some reason, it just wouldn't ; do it. I softly banged it oh its rub- ber mat, which I' was good enough to provide for its comfort, and it spilled out the whole menu i at one time.

As an educator, I am not too sure that I wish the good folk in Tallahassee to be mandating what must be taught 'in public schools. I asked myself if the teaching of the Holocaust is first mandated by law. to be taught. what special Interest group will be next to see that their specific agenda will also be mandated by law. It took only a week or so to find the answer.Now African- Americah history is afso'going to -be -mandated by law-to be .tauglit in the public schools. Not that either of these two subjects is unimportant, but I do think they should be examined in their proper perspective. After all. these are the only :two subjects mandated by law to be taught, all others remain 'at the discretion of the instructor. In no particular order, subjects not mandated by .law to be taught include: (1) World War 1, (2) the Vietnam War, (3) World War II. (4)the War Be-, tween the States, (5) the Cru- sades. 0 the American Revolu- tion. (7) the adventures of Marco Polo. (8) the misadventures of Genghis Khan. (9) ditto for Ta- merlane. (10) the Korean War, (.11) European history. (12) the in- ternment of Japanese-Americans during WW II, (13) the Inquisi- tion,. (14) the holocaust by Joseph T aQl( n(doeI s 'fItnot make the Nazi P00n^c took' smlli'- "n comn par - son (at least in numbers?)), (15). the birth of Christ, (16) the death of Christ None of, the above sixteen subjects is mandated by law to be Appeciated Adult Role Models Editor, The Star, Port St. Joe, Fla. Dear Editor: The purpose of this letter is to recognize and honor three indi- viduals, [now deceased], each of whom had a profound effect on my life and the lives of many oth- er boys and girls who grew up in Port St. Joe during the nineteen fifties and sixties.. John Simpson, H. W. "Buck" Griffin and Coach Marion Craig, each took of their resources and talents, giving unselfishly of themselves to guide, encourage, and protect kids who might have fallen through society's cracks without their intervention. Each. of these men on numerous occa- ;I sions and without regard for a 'child's family position, has exhib- ited an unlimited capacity for car- ing and 'compassion, a willing- ness to become involved, and to make an emotional investment in a kid's life. '.' * Your community is indeed a much better place today as a re- .sult of the contributions and sac- rifices that these men made for many of us. As we honor our nat- ural fathers on this Father's Day. I hope you will join with me in a loving and heartfelt "thanks" to the memory of three wonderful men who cared. SSincerely, J. E.

Jones, M.D. With a flurry of chickenpox in the area. It might be good to review some of what we-know now.about the disease-and its management. A primary case of Varicella-Zoster Virus disease is chickenpox. Most people are exposed to thIs In childhood and have a relatively une- ventful Illness.' " After the primary illness, the virus remains around but dormant. If the virus becomes activated in later life the person develops shingles. You will hear about children developing chickenpox after an adult has shingles --- -same disease. The incubation period for chickenpox in a susceptible person is usually 14-16days.'It can be as.early as 11 days or as late as 20 days. If you know your child has been exposed to chickenpox you begin watching for signs of symptoms of disease about two weeks after expo- sure. These signs and symptoms do not usually amount to much a slight fever and then a few red spots. The spots begin up around. the head and neck and spread outward and down -along the body extremi- ties. The skin lesions are red spots about the size of the tips of your lit- tle fingers. In the center of the red spot is a tiny blister that may not be obvious unless you look at the red spot at an angle. The spots itch. The children scratch and shortly there are red crusting sores. Baths with cornstarch, baking soda. and oatmeal, bave all been tried to help -the itching. Calomine lotion will often help the itching and some people find Benadryl by mouth to help. You can keep an older child occupied by giving him a watercolor brush and letting him paint the sores with calomine lotion as they itch. This gives him something to do besides scratch. People with chickenpox are contagious until they are no longer get- ting sores and all the lesions are crusted over. Children can return to activities with all sores crusted, but often they feel strange about doing so and feel that other children will poke fun at them. They may elect to remain at home until all the crusts are gone. Patients with chickenpox should not receive aspirin because there is an increased Incidence of Reye's Syndrome in chickenpox patients re- ceiving aspirin. Instead of aspirin, Acetominophen (Tylenol) may be giv- en for fever or comfort. Healthy children will usually not have complications after chicken- pox. Problems can arise in several situations. The baby born to a wom- an who was ill with chickenpox in the first and early second trimester of the pregnancy may -be born with several different birth defects. If the mother develops the disease Just before or just after delivery the baby can be very ill and some lle. The most common complication of chick- enpox in adults is pneumonia. Immunocompromised patients (children being treated for leukemi- as, cancers, arthritis, and Aids) can become deathly ill with chickenpox. Fortunately, there are currently treatments that can be used in these situations. There is currently a vaccine being licensed for use in the United States. This vaccine was developed and has been used for years in Ja- pan. The vaccine is anticipated to be licensed soon and we expect chick- enpox to go the way of diptheria, whooping cough, and tetanus and dis- appear.

Heat, Humidity Means Mosquitoes Aren't Far *Florida's pleasant spring con- ' editions, and showers invariably give way to summer's hot temper- atures and high humidity. And that means Florida's annual mos- quito season Isnt'far behffid. - Florida Agriculture Commis- sioner Bob Crawford Is urging the public to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds and reduce contact with the bothersome pest. He is asking home owners to eliminate standing water on their property to curtail Florida's mos- quito population and reduce health risks to humans and ani- mals. "Cdonditions are right this year for a bumper crop of mosqui- toes,", Crawford said. "Since mos-. quitoes generally don't travel great distances from their breed- ing ground, people who eliminate breeding grounds in their neigh- borhoods can reduce the likeli- hood of contracting a mosquito- boime illness." Crawford noted that children, TIRES adults over age 55, and people who spend a,lot of time outdoors are at greater fisk and should take special precautions. .... "Masquitges- can. breedr-_tfta- very small amount of still -water. We are urging homeowners to look around their property and eliminate sources of standing wa- ter, such as old tires, trash can lids, kiddie pools, or birdbaths," Crawford said. Crawford noted that a breed 'of mosquito, named the Asian Ti- ger Mosquito because of its mark- ings, came into Florida In 1986 in a boatload of used tires from the Far East: Because standing water in improperly discarded or stored tires is a major breeding ground. the pest is sometimes called "the tire mosquito". Unlike many other strains found ifi Florida. this mosquito is active during daylight hours, -so eliminating breeding grounds is the best defense. Crawford also is urging own- ers to vaccinate' their animals against Eastern Equine Enceph- alitis, an often-fatal viral disease that attacks the -nervous system. of horses. Last year, veterinarians reported 53 cases of the disease In Florida. Health officials esti- mate that three to four times that number went unreported. The, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Servic- es, which oversees the state's mosquito control efforts, recom- mends that people avoid mosqui- to-plagued areas, particularly at night, reduce mosquito breeding grounds, wear protective clothing, and use insect repellents. --Speci WESTERN AUTO Phone 227-1105 Children Need Vaccines By Dr. Charles Mahan, State Health Officer Each year in Florida, more than one-fourth of 'our infants and preschool children do not re- ceive all the iitiiimizamtions they need by their second birthday. In 1993, only 73 percent of Florida's two-year-old children were ade- quately immunized, leaving more than 50,000 children vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, muimps, rubel- la, pertussis, diphtheria, polio and hepatitis B. The sLite and." national goal for the year 1996 is to increase to 90 percent' the 'number of children fully immu- nized by age two. . Part of the reason for low im- munization levels among infants . and preschool children is compla- cency. No longer do we see chil- dren trapped in iron lungs or lug- ging heavy braces, and because we do not routinely witness the devastating consequences of vac- .cine-preventable diseases, there is a tendency to believe that these diseases are no linger'a threat. This is 'not true. ,.Vaccine- preventable diseases, still pose a significant threat to infants and' preschool children. The, cost of failing to immunize children can- be death, even today. What '. parents can do: *Parents can keep immunizations records on hands,-keep up with scheduled iImmniunizations and al- ways take records to the doctor or clinic when making a visit. *When children visit the doctor or clinic, immunizations may', be over- looked because the visit is for an- othUer reason. While children are at the doctor or clinic for any rea- son, it is important for. parents to ask about inmhunizations. *Even if children are ill,- they still may be able to receive immunizations that will protect them: from vac- cine-preventable childhood dis- eases which can complicate other, illnesses. , There is no charge for child- hood Immunizations at ',local county public health units. In ad- dition, Florida law requires com- panies providing health' insu- rance to pay immunizations. For more information about infant immunizations, contact your doc- tor or local health clinic.

Some foods cause strong mouth odors, but this is only temporary. When bad breath persists, however, It is usually because a health problem Is Involved. Decayed or Infect- - ed teeth can cause bad breath, and so can infected gums. But more than bad breath Is Involved.

Winfield. i Advertising Pays! --CaU Us- The Star Publishing Co. 227-1278 k Capitol NEWS ROUND-UP by Jack Harper Even fiscal conservatives have to admire that sly old turkey hunting governor of ours and thus under-estimate him at their own peril. Gov. Walkin' Lawton Chiles, of Lakeland, has done it again. His new- est scheme (which he denies setting up of course) has him sitting with Florida's $28-million budget in his lap next week as he cuts a deal with legislators on his health care reform package. Either by design or accident, the whopping budget has not yet been signed by House Speaker Bo Johnson, D-Milton, one of Chiles' top allies, whose aides say. has been out of town a lot. Although Johnson has signed every other major piece of legislation passed this year, the 371- page appropriations bill passed April 15 that contains numerous line- item expenditures for local projects back home dearly loved by legislators has still not been signed. It's unusual. Last year the budget bill was signed 15 days after it was passed. By law it must be signed by the Senate President and Speaker of the House before It Is sent to the governor who has the power to veto any item and send it back to the legislature for a rare override vote. It means Chiles has another chip to use in bargaining with legisla- tors on why they should support .his ambitious health care bill that al- most preempts what Democratic President Bill Clinton is hoping to pass through Congress this year. Some of the items (if you're impolite you might call them turkeys) , are: "A $400,000 appropriation to promote Florida wineries sponsored by Sen. W D. Childers, D-Pensacola, a key player on the health care issue. *A $500,000 Department of State appropriation to renovate the Gadsden County Courthouse at Quiney, hometown of Senate President Pat Thom-: as. *A $325,900 appropriation for a new roof and renovations to the pri- vate,Bolles School of Jacksonville in the, district of Republican Sen. An- der Grenshaw, another key player in the health reform debate. This one is interesting. It goes to a private school because the building is of histor- ic value. . There are many more throughout the state. This latest backroom victory of Chiles comes on the heels of his coup in the public campaign financing law that allows him to travel around at state expense campaigning as part of his ollicial duties, matches in pub- lic money any amount that his opponent spends over the limitations, and still allows him to appear pious by limiting campaign contributions. Be- hold; the power of the incumbent Chiles' opponents say he slipped the tobacco stealth bill through the Legislature in the closing hours without debate and without most mem- bers knowing what was in it just for another bargaining chip to have in the special session on health care this month. Maybe so, but I'm Inclined to think Senator Childers did that mostly on him own. The tobacco-chewing North Florida veteran just doesn't like the tobacco industry. A lot of fair-minded legislators are going to insist it be re-addressed and I wouldn't be surprised if it passes again with a few changes? AN APOLOGY? Sen. Charles Williams, D-Tallahassee lately of Bran- dord. said he was sorry and apologized to a group of South Florida Jew- ish Senators who took offense to his statements in a National Day of prayer ceremony in Lake City on May 6. But he said his statement that one of the main reasons his school prayer bill didn't get on the floor in the closing day in the Senate was be- cause of opposition from the Jewish senators was true. He could (but didn't) have said that the other reason the bill didn't get the necessary votes to get on the floor was the eight senators were ab- sent when the vote was taken and all five black senators in the senate voted against its consideration. I'm with Uncle Clem Redneck over there of Flat Creek in Gadsden County who said this week that he is wondering what is being taught In 'the schools that won't even allow a voluntary prayer to be said on the premises. '"The holocaust and black history. but no prayer ... that doesn't sound right to me. We're all in this country together and somewhere in there dey's got to have some Christians," Uncle Clem said. The eight members who didn't vote that evening were: Senate Presi- dent Pat Thomas, D-Quincy: Senators Jim Scott, R-Fort Lauderdale; Bill Bankhead, R-Jacksonville: Rick Dantzler, D-Winter Haven (he was con- ferring with Gov. Chiles); Patti Grogran, D-Merritt Island; Al Gutman. R- Miami: John McKay, R-Bradenton; and W.D. Childers, D-Pensacola. PUBLIC CANING, as on the American in Singapore that several legis- latures around this country are looking at as a solution to some inner- city graffiti problems might be a good punishment for a certain legislator from South Florida. He is State Rep. Carlos Valdes R-Miami Springs. who is charged with scrawling graffiti on a wall of a condo will almost perfect quality VCR pictures confirming it. Valdes, a mortgage and real estate broker, has a civil lawsuit against the condo association. Let the courts find him guilty first, of course, but hold the flogging up here in Tallahassee on the state capitol grounds. Uncle Clem said he'd even come over from Flat Creek for that. Environmentalists were criticized for trying to act as "judge and jury" by the Florida.Supreme Court last week when it struck down their con-, -.stitutional amendment proposal to tax the sugar industry a penny a pound to pay for the cleanup of the Everglades. -.. The justices ruled 6-0 the measure violates the state Constitution by addressing more than one subject. There is little hope of a revision of th'e' language in time for the November ballot. The Save Our Everglades Committee had raised about $1 million and collected some 600.000 signatures to get the measure opposed by Gov. Lawton Chiles and the Florida Legislature on the 1994 ballot. "It is as though the drafters drew up their plan to restore the Ever- Sglades, then stepped outside their role as planners. donned judicial robes and made factual finding and determinations of liabilities and damrags," wrote Justice Leander Shaw in the unanimous ruling. The Legislature passed a bill setting up a $685 million cleanup prb- gram than includes establishing 40,000 acres of filtering marshes. The restoration plan is to be financed by contributions from agriculture of $230 million to $320 million over the next 20 years, with Florida taxpay- ers picking up the rest of the tab. : CHILES STILL BEHIND: Polls still show Gov. Lawton Chiles with less than 50 percent of the statewide votes if an election was held in Florida this week an ominous factor for a well-known incumbent. He would defeat each of his Republican opponents, but the crucial undecided vote which often goes against the well-known office holder could deny him a second term in the November election. -, '' The official entrance of Insurance Commissioner Tom Gallagher into the race lasL.week helped Gov'. Chiles' chances, according to the polls, It almost certainly assures a run off of Republicans to see who gets their party's nomination, leaving Chiles-- with no serious opposition in his own party to sit back and watch the Republicans cut themselves tip Sand empty' their campaign chest. . G allagher resigned from his Citizens for a Safe Florida.constitutional amendment drivethat seeks a pehny sales tax for prisons when he an- nounced for governor last week. , He denied charges that the amendment drive he started was a dodge. Sto avoid the $500 limit on contributions under a public campaign financ- ing law sponsored by Gov. Chiles and.held constitutional by the Florida Supreme Court. Front-i-running. Republican candidate Jeb Bush, of Miami, and Sen. Ander Grenshaw, D-Jacksonville, still insist they will not accept taxpayer money to campaign on. Gallagher and Secretary of State Jim Smith say they are rethinking their positions. Ken Connor, a lesser known Republi- can'candidate of Tallahassee, has announced he will accept the public fi- ,nancinig of his campaign. BILLS SIGNED, VETOED: "This law sends a loud and clear message ,to the tobacco giants that they will be held accountable for sponsoring sickness-and death. "Gov. Lawton Chiles said last week when he signed ,into -law a bill that requires the state to sue businesses it deems respon- sible for illnesses of Medicaid patients. , The bill slipped through :the Legislature with little debate, in the closing hours of the special session is sure to be contested in court and will probably be taken up again at the June 7 session on health care. Chiles vetoed another bill that was passed in the closiI ii minutes - without ample hearing that threatened to derail the state's growth ma'n- agement act, declaring it would weaken the role of the state in mandating comprehensive plans for counties and cities. t' hil:PS '. ,1 Prize Winner OFF TO HAWAII-Nell Neel. manager of the local Heilig- Myers furniture store, recently won a contest held among the managers of the chain, winning a week's paid vacation in Hawaii as the prize.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1994 Gleanings From My GM Rambo Christianity "C' ahead, make my day!" The words of Dirty .Harry (a.k.a. Clint Eastwood), right? Wrong! As I listened to a recording of a very popular Christian artist, thousands of young people screamed and applauded with a frenzy. Jesus wap rebuking Sa- tan with the infamous diction of tastwood. At the climactic mo- ment of the struggle, Jesus exclaimed "Go ahead, make my day!" Such is the gospel according to Carmen. But far be it from the Gospel of the New Testament. jesus never said these words. They contradict everything the Bible teaches about Him. Once again, I explained to my son that much contemporary Christian music barely qualifies as music and hardly at all as Christian. But such an image of our Lord is very popular in our day. Such a Rambo Christology plays well to our culture. Examples of an "in your face" Christianity abound. Protest turns to mur- der, killing abortionists becomes Justified homicide.

Bible Study (all ages)...............6:30 CST Rev. Tommy Doss, Pastor arden y"Rev. Steve .Cloud '.' this malediction is appalling: servanthood becomes sarcasm. truth-telling becomes axe-grinding. faithfulness becomes furor, righteousness becomes rage., ministry becomes ,madness, and compassion becomes cynicism., Herein is the. great dilemma of' the conflict between good and evil: How can we .oppose evil with- out becoming evil ourselves? Wedive in a day when there' aired fe healthy models of social protest. We seem to be either rabid ex- tremists or embarrassed passivists. And neither extreme has a Biblical basis. I suspect that both extremes have a theological foundation. The extremists are comfortable with a "Go ahead make my day" Christ. Still others take no stand at all, retreating into a piety of privacy saying to the world, "have it your way." But neither the Rambo or the Burger King Christianity is a solid. basis for a vigorous Christian apologetic. The Bible teaches that Jesus, "when He was reviled, but not revile in return; when He suffered; He did not threaten, but com- mitted Himself to Him who judges righteously" (1 Peter 2:23 NKJV). In the same letter, the Apostle Peter appeals to us to "al- ways be ready to give a defense to everyone who. asks you a rea- son for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed: (1 Peter 3:15-16 NKJV) "Meekness and fear" is rendered "gentle- ness and respect in the NIV. These two words modify "give a de- fense." And "give a defense" is the word from which we get our word apologetics. An apologist is one who does not apologize for being a Chrsitian, rather he rationally and reasonably argues for the truths of the Faith. Sometimes I think we get angry because, we know our ideas are both ill conceived and poorly presented. We get tough when we ought to get it right. But our cause will, never be advanced much with big placards or defiant words., Christian activities and apologists badly need to embrace "gentleness and respect" 'once again. It is rooted in an under- - standing of Christ who is our righteous example and not a Ram- bo extremist. This is not the easy way, but it happens to be the right way. Christ's example reminds us that sacrifice is beastly business. But it is dynamite to touch. From the Principal's Desk Wewahitchka High School SBy Larry A.

The assisted-suilcide alterna- tive became more visible when both Michigan and Washington confirmed the right of mentally- competent terminally-ill patients to ask physicians to help then end their lives. Advocates of phy- sician-assisted suicide have said they will challenge other state's laws as well. "Hospice takes a strong stand' against .physician-assisted sui- cide," says Thai. "Studies' have shown.that there are three rea- sons why terminally-Ill people look to suicide: 1) they, fear a painful death, 2) they fear loss of control and 3) they don't want to be burden to their families. Hos- pice deals with all of these issues. Hospice supports the patient and the family so the final part of life, is pain free, comfortable and rewarding. Once these. concerns are dealt with the desire for sui- cide usually disappears." The hospice industry fears that people are making choices about assisted suicide when they are in a state of depression and without knowing what all of the option truly are. , '. The answer to depression should be coijnselihi not death," says Thai. Hospice leads the way in helping both families and the patient cope. 'Through bereave- ment programs we also work with the families after the patient has died. wv.hich Is a comfort to the patient as well." ,.e. '"The problem today' is that trying to help people. die in com- fort is taking a back seat the movement to legalize euthanasia 'and assisted suicide. We can't let the right to die become the obliga- tion to die like it has in the Neth- erlands, where assisted suicide is decriminalized.
