Students Meet at the Pole

125 Strong, for Prayer and Devotional Before School


Approximately 125 stu-
dents from Port St. Joe
High School met at the
flagpole Wednesday morn-
ing, to participate in a wor-
ship program and pray, be-
fore school started.
The program, a nation-
wide show of support for
prayer by students, was
promoted and sponsored
by the High School chapter
of the Fellowship of Chris-
tian Athletes.
The entire 20 minute
program of prayer, devo-
tional thoughts and scrip-
ture reading, was organized
and presented by members
of the student body. Sever-


al adults were also present
as observers and assisting
the students present their
program.
"See You at the Pole" is
a national movement
which has been. repeated at
Port St. Joe for the past
three years. The idea is to
sound the alarm to stu-
dents, by students, to
counter the problems of
teens of today.
Some of the statistics
read during Wednesday
morning's program, includ-
ed the statistic that three
times as many teenagers
will commit suicide this
year, as the number of


Americans killed during
the attack on Pearl Harbor;
problems connected with
teen sexual activities, ille-
gal drugs, crime and even
legal drugs.
The SYATP movement
is a movement by the
youth of the nation to call
attention to and combat
these problems among
teens.
The FCA members
passed out hard-hitting
fact sheets to the youths
present at the religious
emphasis, calling attention
of the teens to the growing
problems of their peers
throughout the nation.


City Adopts $i.0,597 730 Budget uesday

Revenue From Other Sources Shrinks Causing 1/2 Mill Increase In Tax Rate: Services, Funding Change Vety Little


t4 az-a,* a vl aa 'i:a aaa i t Tv z a


The City Coirmission held
the final public hearing on its
tentative budget for fiscal 1994-
95 Tuesday evening and adopted
unanimously, their financial plan
for the coming year.
There were minor changes
made in the Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant portion of the budget
prior to adoption, but since the
changes were reductions of ex-
pense items in various parts of
' the proposed budget, there was
no need to do the whole process
over again.
The general fund portion of
the plan-that portion which fi-
nances the everyday functions of
the City-were not changed and
reflect a very slight increase over
last year's presentation.
The taxing portion of the bud-
get was increased by less than a
half mill, to reach the sum bud-
geted by the Commission.
The budget this year will total
$10,597.730, with $6,984,127 of
that amount ear-marked for the
Wastewater Treatment Plant op-
eration. The WWTP is financed
from charges to its three custom-
ers; St. Joe Forest Products Com-
pany, Arizona Chemical Company
and the City of Port St. Joe. The
',St. Joe Forest Products Company
is responsible for approximately
97% of the plant costs and Arizo-
na and the city responsible for
the other three percent.
The City ended the fiscal year
with $185,000 in cash carried
forward and the WWTP brought
forward $75,000.
EXPENDITURES
Taking up the biggest single
chunk of the new budget will be
the Police Department, calling for
an expenditure of $664,913.
The next highest expenditure
in the budget is for operations
which include salaries, operation
of the City Warehouse properties,
keeping up machinery and prop-
erties, new purchases and other
related items.
The' water plant operation
was brought nearer to a self-
supporting service with a change
in the ordinance, Tuesday, rais-
ing the rates by 30t per thou-
sand gallons. Still, taxes will fi-
nance $149,625 of that service.
In addition, the sewer service will
require $369,007 and water treat-
ment plant and re-payment of
bonds will need $257,771.
Basically, the expenditures
side of the budget is about the
same as last year, with total re-
quirements creeping updue to in-


Dilation. Outside funds dried up to
a measurable degree this year,
giving fewer state and federal
funds to finance the budget with.
A decline in the city's share of
state sales tax provided the larg-
est hit for city income and tight-
ening up of operations made for
some of the shortfall.
The new budget will have the
city levying 5.2408 mills for a to-
tal of $1,385.915 to go in the
budget pot. The remainder will
come from various taxes such as
franchise taxes, utility taxes, li-
censes, fees and state funds. The
state funds will amount to
$86,300 from revenue sharing
and $85,000 from sales tax.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other items of business to


come before the Commission, the
following action were taken:
-Tabled a change in the em-
ployee hiring practices to shift the
responsibility of approving new
hires from the various supervis-
ors to the City Commission. Com-
missioner Bill Wood said he
wasn't fully in favor of stripping
the supervisors of that responsi-
bility, saying, 'They have to work
who they hire to do the job we
have charged them to do."
-Adopted a new ordinance to
regulate "panhandling" in the
city.
-Unanimously approved and
adopted a resolution voicing their
objections to a proposed ban on

DOT Begins


Work On 10.4


Miles of Hwy. 98
State DOT work crews put up the last of a series of
traffic warning signs from the Apalachicola Northern
Railroad overpass to the Franklin County line this week,
in preparation to commencing a road resurfacing pro-
gram of a portion of one of the main arteries in and out
of Port St. Joe.
The re-surfacing will be done in two contracts, involv-
i:: ing two paving firms and will cost approximately $3 mil-
lion, according to Information from Tommy Speights, in-
formation officer for DOT's Chipley office.
Speights told The Star Monday that work should have
already started on the portion of the job between the
eastern city limits to the Franklin county line, but it has
been delayed by the heavy rains which the county has
experienced the past two weeks. This project is expect-
ed to take some 300 working days and will cost an esti-
mated $2.1 million. C. W. Roberts Contracting Company
of Hosford, was the successful bidder on the job.
That portion of Highway 98, which runs through the
city of Port St. Joe is scheduled to get some attention
also, beginning this month. The contract, awarded to
Baxter Asphalt Company of Marianna, extends from the
intersection of Industrial Road. easterly to Ninth Street.
for a distance of 1.3 miles. It is expected to cost
$540,000. Baxter will be allowed 53 working days to
complete the project.
A contract coming up the end of this month for let-
ting will re-surface Highway 71 [Fifth Streetl inside the
city, from its intersection with U.S. 98 to the end of the
four lane at the Apalachicola Northern Railroad track
crossing. The contract is to be let at the September 28
meeting of DOT.


Four Slightly


Injured Monday

Four people were injured, but not seri-
ously, in a two car accident a quarter mile
south of the White City bridge Monday.
morning.
Carlo A. Thomas, Ernest Exum, Penny
Peterson and Ahmad Skanes, all of Port St.
Joe, were all examined and treated at Gulf
Pines Hospital after their car overturned
just before reaching the bridge.
According to Witnesses, both vehicles
were travelling north, toward the bridge,
when Bonnie Keigans, driving the lead vehi-
cle, turned left into her driveway near' White
City. The second vehicle containing the
four who suffered injuries, was attempting
to pass the first car. Taking evasive action
to avoid a collision, the driver of the second
car narrowly missed the turning car, but
flipped over in the evasive process.
None of the four injured people were seri-
ously hurt in the mishap, which is still un-
der investigation by the Florida Highway Pa-
trol.

It's Our Duty El


Hunker Down with Kes


by Kesley Colbert


PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY are disurbed by the drug traffic
which seems to persist in our county, as well as others, regard-
less of what we do to interdict it. Along with the drug use comes
growing crime incidence, which is used to finance the drug traf-
fic., It's a nuisance to us here in Gulf county, Port St. Joe and
Wewahitchka. The crime isn't an out-of-control type problem,
but it is more serious than most of us would care to have it.
Over in Bay county, they are considering placing a police de-
partment sub-station on the very comer which has become syn-
onymous with drug traffic, in order to curb the practice; most
likely it will just move to another comer., Fast food markets are
the favorite source of obtaining drug cash by those using the il-
licit substance, causing an aggravatng situation.
In our portion of Florida, we don't have the drive-by shoot-
Ings, the stabbings, the accosting of people on the street and
robbing them. It's still safe to walk on our streets at night, but
for how long? It seems to us that it would be better to address
the problem before it gets out of hand, while we can still, hope-
fully, deal with it.
OVER IN APALACHICOLA, in Franklin county, they are do-
ing something which has worked with drunk drivers and neigh-
borhood watches in the large cities. They are creating a corps of
residents, dedicated to finding something, anything, they can do
to keep drugs off their streets and to keep the streets safe.
There have already been incidents of mugging elderly people
on the streets, discriminate shooting, drive-by shootings, shoot-
outs and stabbings. There haven't been many, but one such in-
cident is too many and the people of Apalachicola are banding
together to do something about it.
Blacks and whites are cooperating in the effort to rid their
town of youth who roam, the streets aimlessly, getting into mis-
chief and Indulging in drugs. The whole town is becoming one
big parent to watch all the children and young people, both for
protection of the children and protection for their community.
WE NEED SUCH AN organization here in Port St. Joe, Gulf
county and Wewahitchka. It is evident the .police forces and
sheriffs department can't root out all the iniscreants. They need
our help: If nothing else, they need our eyes, constantly watch-
ing and reporting anything suspicious we see.
Youths, or anyone else, on the prowl, know where law en-
forcement officers and patrols aie at all times. They can recog-
nize an undercover agent almost as soon as he hits the street.
That's how they are so successful in causing us all more trouble
than we want.'
We will. never have law and order again, until the ordinary
citizen deputies himself to the point where he is constantly
alert for criminal activities. This realization is taking hold in eve-
ry community all across the nation. We think it our duty to start
it here.


You Ruined It!
A FEW WORDS IN support of the idea presented above were
printed on the front page of Thursday's Panama City News-
Herald. A young boy over in Panama City had been tried for kill-
ing a convenience store operator. At the time of the killing, the
young lad was quoted by some of his friends as saying he was
going to find out what it felt like to kill a white man. That, appar-
ently, was the only motive for his taking the life of a man, a hus-
band, a father with family responsibilities.
The young boy, now only 17 years old, more than a year after
the slaylung of the victim, was convicted the other day. He was
sentenced by the Judge to spend the rest of his natural life in
prison.
"YOU HAVE RUINED MY future," the young man told the
prosecuting attorney, after the Judge had sentenced him. The
young man didn't see any fault in his own actions. He saw fault
only in the prosecuting attorney, pursuing his conviction for tak-
ing the life of a man.
Many problem youth, today, have the same outlook on 'their
activities as that young man had. They are not to be held re-,
sponsible for their actions, some other mythical "'They" is re-
sponsible. We're sure that if the boy's victim had been responsi-
ble for the his action--as the young man's outburst would
indicate-he would have opted for the young man not to take his
life. The man at the convenience store didn't want to die at the
hands of the youth or anyone else. He would elect to be alive
and the young man not be facing a life spent behind bars.
The young man told the prosecuting attorney, as he was be-
ing sentenced, "Look at what you have done to me. You have
ruined my life!"
No, son, you ruined your own life and took another in the
-process.

summer. of '74; the rains started
in June and ended in the middle
of September, much the same as
this year. There wasn't any dry
ground anywhere. It seemed that
every shirt-tail rain cloud which
drifted up, ended up soaking Gulf

can do, positively, is set records
for rainfall.

BUT, I HAVE FAITH that it
will stop one day, the sun will
shine all day and before too long
it will get dry again and someone
will remark, "I sure wish it would

I think, that about this time,
we should be able to point back
to the present. time and remind
that person of when he was wish-
ing it would quit for a while.

incessant and frequent rain we
are experiencing. It's cool enough

The Lost Sock Blues
There are many perplexing and mysterious small occurrences in
life that I Just haven't been able to figure out. A lol of theim are little
things that dori't amount to a hill-of-beans. but they niike me won-
der just the same.
The "one shoe in the road mystery" is one I have written about
several times before. You may not recall the articles, but in them I
stated that I have found one shoe in the road(s) at different times
and in different places. I have wondered how the. one shoe hap-
pened to, wind up in the road.
After pondering this perplexing phenometion and wt iting sever-
al articles about it. I happened to be i-i ing along oil my way home
one day when I discovered .a PAIR of shoes in the toad. Yes, I did,
dear hearts! And it was a perfectly good paint ol leniils shoes. They
ivere. about 30 feet.apart. one in the middle of Highway #71; about
two miles:'outh of White City. Both shoes were sitting iighlt-side-up
and one had the shoe string neatly tied.
I stopped and picked them up and when I arrived home I tried
them on but they didn't fit, so I.saved tilemn aind gave them.to-imy
oldest son on his next birthday. If I ad thought to wash them be-
fore I gave them to him I would have gotten away with it, but the
odor gave me away .
Another of these unexplained phenomenons is "the lost sock
mystery". All of you know about the lost sock mystery. I'm sure. It's
been a mystery for years. yet, to date, I know of no one who has
come up with a plausible explanation as to what happens to the
LOST SOCK
I believe our government should fund a study to find out a.solu-..
tion to the lost sock mystery. Considering some of the, funding oure,
government has done in the. past and is presently doing, I think a
one million dollar grant wouldn't be out of line. I. of course, would
want to head the study and I would promise to keep an itemized list
of all expenditures and report them to the appropriate official on a
bi-yearly basis.
Some of you may not think' this is a serious problem, but it is.
Let me give you a few 'facts. As I write this article there are four (4)
socks in our laundry room that have no mates. All four are white
socks, but vary in length, size, and stitch. I have searched high and
low. far and wide for the mates, but to no avail.
This problem bothers me so much :I believe I could (and will)
write a song about it. I will call it. The' Lost Sock Blues, and it will go
something like this: "I got the lost sock blues, down in both my
shoes. Talot I need is a pair; I can't find one anywhere! The ole lost
sock blues: there ain't no good news!" "
Well. It may not be a No. I hit, but, who knows. George Jones
might be interested in recording it and if he did. it might make a
few biscuits for me and my dog.
In case you're wondering what brought this lost sock business
to mind. I'll be glad to tell you. About an hour before I started this
article, I was picking up some of my granddaughter's toys off the,
floor and I came across one of her socks. It was on the living room
floor, but there was no mate. I searched and looked in every nook
and cranny, but, so far. the sock has yet to be found.
It is a small, pink. thin sock and has blue lace around the top.
When she is dressed in one of her pretty new dresses with a bow in
her hair and her new shoes on, there is no prettier sight in the
world. I must find that sock!!!

Diabetes or high blood sugar
is a serious disorder that increas-
es a person's risk of heart diseas-
es. More than 80 percent of peo-
ple with diabetes die from some
type of cardiovascular disease-
usually a heart, attack, according
to the National Institutes of
Health.
Women with diabetes are
twice as much at risk of coronary
heart disease and heart-related
deaths as men. The reason for
the high rate of occurrence is un-
known. When compared to nondi-
abetic women, diabetic women
are also more likely to have high
blood pressure and high blood
cholesterol.
Untreated diabetes also can
contribute to kidney disease,
blindness, problems in pregnancy
and childbirth, nerve and blood
vessel damage in difficulties in-
fighting infection. With the most
common type of diabetes, the
the pancreas makes insulin, but the
body does not use it well.

CHILDREN'S HEALTH FORUM


Child Health'




Elizabeth C. Jones, M.D.
October is designated as Child Health Month.. This year the
general emphasis is being placed on violence prevention and sug-
gestions for parents about television viewing.
Before considering this year's topics everyone should be certain
the basics have been covered first. Does your child have his own
doctor, and is the child seen regularly for routine appointments and
preventive care?
When seen regularly children are immunized against nine pre:
ventable and possibly fatal or crippling diseases. Regular. discus-
sions are held about what children should be eating and methods
of food preparation in light of current nutritional information. Sup-
plements may be ordered as indicated by the health of the child.
Help is available with discipline or school problems.
Illness can be treated ,as it develops and any recurring pattern
can be detected and strategies developed for treatment.
The most important thing parents can do for a child is to find
him a "medical home". The physician's office. (medical home) should
be comfortable for the child and except for out of town situations or
emergencies should be the place the child is taken when he heeds
medical care. Just as a child needs a house with parents and care-
giversmwho maintain a nurturing environment he also needs a medi-
cal home that will meet all his needs.

Variety of Commemorative


Subjects on Postal Stamps


What do Juan Rodriguez Ca-
brillo, Ernest Hemingyway and El-
vis Presley all have in common?
If you're a stamp collector, or
philatelist, you probably know
that Cabrillo, discoverer of San
Diego Bay, Hemingway, the cele-
brated American novelist, and El-'
vis, the king of Rock' and Roll,
have all been subjects of U.S.
commemorative stamps.
Today an estimated 22 mil-
lion people collect stamps, mak-
ing it one of the world's most pop-
ular hobbles. Stamp collecting is
not only fun and educational, it's
also a hobby you never outgrow.
Stamps provide a window to
the world for collectors of all ages
by drawing attention to public is-
sues and bringing historical sub-
jects to life.
Getting started in stamp col-
lecting is easy. You can begin
simply by saving stamps from let-
ters, packages and postcards. Or
you can start your collection by
choosing one ,or two favorite sub-
jects and collecting those stamps
that fit your theme, whether it's
art, history, sports, or science.
The task of deciding com-
memorative stamp subjects is the
responsibility of the Citizens'
Stamp Advisory Committee
(CSAC). This group of private in-
dividuals meets four times a year
to discuss stamp designs, and
make subject recommendations
to the Postmaster General.
Individuals considered as
subjects I for commemorative
stamps, with the exception of
U.S. Presidents, must be dead for
a minimum of ten years. Events,
must be of historical significance


The local group will present a
workshop at the meeting. Shown
with Kristi Lawrence, left, and
Missy Nobles. Student Govern-
ment president, is Frenchie Ram-
sey, whose firm is one of the busi-
ness sponsors. The club extends
its thanks to all who contributed.


or have widespread national ap-
peal, and no religious institutions
can be honored.
The CSAC receives more than
40,000 letters a year, suggesting
hundreds of different subjects. It
can take three years or more be-
fore an approved suggestion be-
comes a stamp.
While much has changed
since the first commemorative
stamI was issued in 1893, some
things remain the same. Stamps
are colorful, miniature works of


art that inspire collectors of all
ages with great accomplishments
of the past, from the landing, of
the Mayflower to the landing of
men on the moon.
Get hooked on stamp collect-
ing! It's, a hobby that lasts a life-
time.
Anyone may suggest a sub-
ject for a stamp. Send your sug-
gestion to the Citizens' Stamp Ad-
visory Committee, Room 4474E,
475 L'enfant Plaza SW, Washing-
Ston, D.C. 20260-2437.

Perhaps the biggest play of
the game came late in the fourth
quarter. Bonifay had the ball on a
fourth and one situation on the
Shark 15 yard line. Mandricka

hit Bonifay's Tony Staten in the
backfield as the rest of the Shark
defensive front joined In to stop
the Blue Devils. The one yard loss
ended the scoring threat, preserv-
ing the Shark victory.
St. Joe's first score of the eve-
ning came with 4:23 remaining in
the first quarter. Yeager hit Bax-


ter from one yard out. to cap off
the scoring drive. The play was
set up by a 24-yard pass to Brian
Jenkins. a 14-yard pass to Ja-
maail Fenn; Ninamdi, Frazier's 12
yard run, followed by a 14 yard
gain on: a sweep by Fenn. The
touchdown came on'a fourth and
goal.
The other Shark score came
after Chris Williams intercepted a
Blue Devil pass and returned it to
the Bonifay 20 yard line with only
19 seconds left in the half. Yeager
and Baxter hooked up again, with
only five seconds left on the
clock. Yeager hit Baxter on a 17
yard fade pass for the score. The
Sharks carried a 12-0 lead into
the locker room at the half.

Gators E4
The Wewahltchka Gators
growled and swished their tails in
a manner just angry enough to
defeat one of their strongest foes
In District play Friday night, as
they dumped number nine
ranked Greensboro by a single
point to keep their three-game
win string going.
The Gators scored 10 points
in the third quarter to defeat
Greensboro, 22-21, for their third
straight win against no defeats.
The Gators ran circles
around their hosts, gaining 337
Yards rushing while allowing their
hosts only 46. The Bulldogs
gained 103 yards passing.
It was a safety in the third
quarter, which made the differ-
ence for the Gators. The Bulldogs
snapped the ball out of the end
zone, with the Gators covering it
for a two point safety.
Wewa made it to the score-
board first, with six points in the
first quarter. Jeff Jones, on his
first of two TD's for the evening.
slipped into the end zone from 19
yards out for the first score of the
game. The attempted kick for the
extra point was blocked by a hard
charging Greensboro line.
Then it was Greensboro's
turn at scoring and before the
Gators could get their defense
programmed, the Bulldogs had
tallied for 13 points as Gllcrease
plunged across from the three
'and Shorter took a 10 yard dash.
with the pass for the conversion
falling short.-' k .
But the Gators came roaring
back in the second quarter as Jeff
Jones. again, punched the ball
across the goal line for his second
TD of the game from three yards'
out. -
But the Bulldogs lived up to
their name, playing tenaciously
S for the remainder of the half and
took the lead once more on a 54
yard scoring pass from Shorter to
Christian and Gllcrease ran over
for two extra points.
o At half-time, the score stood
at 21-12, Bulldogs.
*But the Gators hadn't given
up.' They came roaring back in
the third quarter to put up 10
points and take the win. First,
the Bulldogs committed an error,
allowing the football to go out of
the end zone, resulting in a two-
point safety for the Gators. Then,
Tranum McLemore took over. He
pulled in a three yard pass from
Will Sumner to pull the Gators
within one point of their foes.:
Again, on a roll out pass from
Sumner, McLemore snatched vic-
tory from defeat by latching onto
the two point conversion attempt
to earn 'the win by a single point.
Both teams struggled to a
scoreless ending to the game in
the final quarter.

If You Eat Them
Raw and Have
Health Problems
TALLAHASSEE Oysters sold
at retail must be labeled to in-
form consumers of the risk of eat-
ing them raw under a new rule
announced recently, by, Florida
Agriculture Commissioner Bob
Crawford.
"Oysters are,, an excellent
source of protein, iron and other
nutrients, and they're one of my
favorite foods, but no one needs
to be eating them raw," Crawford
said. "'This label provides the
missing link to let consumers
know how to eat oysters safely at
home."
Starting last week, oysters of-
fered for sale at'the retail level-
such as in a seafood market or a
grocery store-must be labeled as
follows:
"There is risk associated with
consuming raw oysters. If you
have chronic illness of'the liver,
stomach or blood or have im-
mune disorders, you are at great-
er risk of serious illness from raw
oysters and should, eat oysters
fully cooked. If unsure of your
risk, consult a physician."
The label must appear on the
oyster container or on a placard
or bin label where oysters are dis-
played for retail sale.
Raw oysters often contain Vl-
brio vulnificus, bacteria that can
be deadly, particularly to individ-
uals with weakened immune sys-
teams. In the past year, nine cases
of illness and six deaths linked to
Vibrio food poisoning were report-
ed.
Fully cooking oysters by
.-steamirigr-baking-or- frying--kills
the bacteria and renders them
safe to eat, Crawford said. Al-
though the consumer information
label emphasizes the risk to indi-
viduals with weakened Immune
systems and other ailments,
Crawford advised all consumers
to cook oysters and all other raw
animal protein before eating.
Currently, restaurants that
serve raw oysters must carry the
consumer Information statement
on their menus and oysters pack-
aged for wholesale distribution
must be labeled.
Last year, Crawford sought
general legislative authority that
'allowed, him to require that, the
Information label be extended to
oysters sold at retail as well.
"All consumers' need safe
handling Instructions right at the
point of purchase," Crawford
said. "Most food safety incidents
occur in .the home. It is crucial
that consumers know how to
handle food safety and avoid food
safety hazards in the home."

Three years ago, Tony Dandy

due to a shortage of Jobs and a
desire to be closer to his parents.

This made Dandy determined
to do anything that would help
him provide for his family. During
this three year period. Dandy was

ed refunds according to associa-
tion president. James R. Alberts.
"'his is a significant milestone in
the progress of Farm Credit of
Northwest Florida, ACA," "said Al-
berts. The total patronage refund
for 1988 was $610,541.73. The
revolvement of the surplus allo-
cated in five years combined with
the cash refund given in 1989
have reduced borrowers' effective
Interest cost by approximately
1.7%.
Cooperatives differ from tradi-
tional lending institutions in two
important ways. First, profits
from the cooperative are distrib-
uted back to the Agri-Business.
County Home and Land member/
borrowers in the form of a patron-
age refund. Secondly. its policies
are set by the member-elected
board of directors.
As a cooperative, Farm Cred-
S.its board.of directors can-elect .fo.A
declare patronage refund annual-
ly. A portion of the member/
borrower's earned interest is paid
in cash and a portion is retained
as surplus allocated to help capi-
talize the association for revolve-
ment back to the members at the
board's discretion. Taxes on the
patronage refund and the surplus
allocated are paid up front ren-
dering the surplus allocated pay-
ment tax-free.
The payment of partonage re-
funds and of surplus allocated
can significantly lower the effec-
tive interest rates Farm Credit
members pay. The goal of the as-
sociation and its board is to re-
volve these funds as quickly as
possible. The inherent uncertain-
ty of agriculture could affect the
length of time prior to revolve-
ment.

Governor Lawton Chiles has
proclaimed Saturday, September
24 as Hunting and Fishing Day in
Florida to recognize the many sig-
nificant conservation achieve-
ments of Its sportsmen.
Chlles joined a growing chor-
us of politicians, communicators
and a strong grassroots coalition
of event organizers, stating: "Con-
serving our state's natural and
wildlife -resources is one of the
most important responsibilities
we have to this and future gener-
ations of Florida and hunters and
fishermen were among the first to
realize this responsibility nearly
100 years ago."
National Hunting and Fishing
Day (NHF Day), now in its 23rd
year, has recently seen a dramat-
ic :resurgence In public Interest
This year the day will be the fo-
cus of thousands of public events
held at sportsman's clubs, shop-
ping malls and outdoor fairs
across Ainerica. "Though the rea-
son for this Impressive increase
in attention and activity is not to-
tally clear, we're extremely en-'
couraged," said Gary Kolesar, Na-
tional Coordinator, "because it
provides both sportsmen and the:
media with a unique opportunity
to inform the general public
about the value and relevance of
America's outdoor traditions."
Last year, the governors of all
fifty states issued proclamations
to establish state Hunting and
Fishing Days and a similar re-
sponse is expected for 1994. Pres-
Ident Clinton recently issued his
second official National Hunting.
and Fishing Day statement, not-
ing that "American sportsmen
launched the modern conserva-
tion movement. Since that time.
they have become America's most
ardent and effective protectors of
the environment.."
"Florida's hunters and fisher-
men...supported laws to stop un-
controlled exploitation of wildlife
and helped establish game and
fish laws, enforcement and man-
agement practices." added Gov-
ernor Chiles. "They also suggest-
ed and supported laws to
establish special hunting and
fishing license fees and special
taxes on their equipment to pay
for conservation programs."
In 1993, Florida's 191,904
paid hunting license holders
raised a total of $5,334,384 to
fund wildlife conservation pro-
grams managed by the Florida
Department of Natural Resourc-
:es. The money was raised
through purchases of hunting 1i- ;
censes, permits,'' stamps.' and*;,?N
tags. Hunting license holders also
entitled Florida to $2,192,805 in
federal funds for wildlife restora-
tion and $1,121,652 for hunter
education. The state's 1,004,444
paid fishing license holders raised
$19.707,145 for fish conserva-
tion, entitling It to $4,493,542 for
fish restoration.


'The conservation programs
supported and financed by Flori-
da hunters and fishermen have


benefited many wildlife species
such as deer, wild turkeys, otters,
bald eagles and song birds---


wildlife that all Floridians can en-
joy," said Governor Chiles.

The Week in Review
By Lisa Curry
Last week, Port St. Joe Ele-
mentary School fifth and sixth
grade girls' basketball started.
Benny Roberts is the coach.
!About twenty-five girls are play-
ipg. With so many girls, Mr. Rob-
erts is very busy, but he is a good
coach. We learned lay-ups, foul
shots, and dribbling skills. Some
of the taller girls practiced jump
shots. All of the girls' basketball
players, short or tall, seem to be
having a blast. I know I am!
ICU
Here are some "I See You" do-
ing-something-positive messages:
Mrs. Adkison saw Mrs. Clem-
ents' class standing quietly in the
hall while waiting for Eddie. You
were so polite!!!
Lisa Curry is always helping
people.
Linette Bailey cheered Guth-
rie up when someone had made
her cry.
Teachers Would Appreciate
S Teacher's Appreciation Day
isn't until May, but if you have a
refrigerator you would like to do-
nate to our teacher's lounge, they
would appreciate it greatly!


Superstitions?


What is it about winning that brings out everyone's old super-
stitions? A stirring come-from-behind win over Greensboro, 22-21,
on a rain soaked field has everyone wearing the same clothes, doing
the same thing, etc., hoping in some way to help continue the win-
ning streak. It's great fun, but I'd rather depend on eliminating mis-
takes and continued improvement as we head to Sneads Friday
night for a 7:30 p.m. game. Try to be there!
Volleyball is sailing along, unbeaten so far but with a Thursday
match against Rutherford to serve as a tester.
Thanks to Dawn Alcorn for leading science students against the
Inclement weather to help with the annual coastal clean-up. They
had to duck the thunderstorms, but still managed to get a lot done.
I wonder who throws all that trash out on our recreational areas?
Homecoming already? Well, plans are underway to honor class-.
es starting with 1934 and then every five year interval ('39, '44, '49,
and so on), ending with the class of '94. Contact Lisa Jordan or Bet-
ty Holloway for details. I hope local businesses, churches, etc., will
join in to make the parade a success. October 14 is the day, with
Chattahoochee High being the opponent.
September 30, our seniors will bus to St. Joe for their annual
College Career day or morning, I should say. Many colleges and
technical schools send representatives to help seniors see what is
available.
The first six weeks ends Thursday, the 22nd of September. Re-
port cards go out seven work days later. Obviously, everyone, won't
be happy with every grade, but let's check and make sure you see a
grade sheet parents, and notify us if you don't.
If I had to grade our student body on our first six weeks, I'd-
have to give them an A-. They've been great (with just a couple of
exceptions) but I always like to leave a little room for improvement!
Remember to vote when you have the opportunity, in run-offs
and in the general election in November. Read what the candidate
stands for and make your own decisions based on what you know!

Children's Values: Where Do We Start?


by Blake Harris
Kids and violence, gangs,
drugs in schools, confusions that
school- children have about sex,
children giving birth to children-
these all add up to a terrifying so-
cial reality. We are faced with a
generation spinning wildly out of
control.
The majority of youngsters
are now affected.. According to a
survey by the Joseph & Edna Jo-
sephson Institute of Ethics, 61%
of all high school students say
they have cheated on an exam
once or more during the last year.
As well, 33% admit to having sto-
len from relatives at least once in
the last year.
Whether it is kids owning
gung to threaten and, on occa-
sion, kill their classmates, wheth-
er it is high school students join-
ing in "Spur Posse" games that
keep track of how many different
sexual conquests the players can
rack up, or whether it is simply
lying and cheating, these are all
the symptoms of one fundamen-
tal disease-the moral decay in so-
ciety.
Or perhaps moral decay is
the wrong way to describe it.
More factually, at least where our
children are concerned, the
biggest problem since the 1970's
has been the utter lack of in-
struction in morals and values in
our schools. The idea back then
was that children should grow on
their own and should be encour-!
aged simply to decide for them-

selves what they should believe.
"[This was] based on a mate-
rialistic idea that the development
of the child parallels the evolu-
tionary history of the race; that in
some magical way, unexplained,
the 'nerves' of the child will 'ripen'
as he or she grows older and the
result will be a moral, well-
behaved adult," author and hu-
manitarian L. Ron Hubbard
pointed out in the widely distrib-
uted booklet 'The Way To Happi-
ness."
"Although the theory is dis-
proven with ease-simply by notic-
ing the large criminal population
whose nerves somehow did not ri-
pen-it is a lazy way to raise chil-
dren," said Hubbard. "A child is a
little bit like a blank slate. If you
write the wrong things on it, it
will say the wrong things. But,
unlike a slate, a child can begin
to do the writing: the child tends
to write what has been written al-
ready."
Today, the good news is that
schools are beginning to get back
into the character development
business in a big way. In this,
they have the overwhelming sup-
port of parents. A 1992 study
showed 86% of Americans fa-
vored schools teaching moral val-
ues while only 12% were against
the idea.
However, working out the
best way to build character and
to instill important values in our
children still lies ahead. We have
learned in recent decades that
recognizing problems in our
school system does not mean that
these problems are easily fixed.
There are a number of ideas
about the classroom. Some
schools have started to use videos
that show the terrible conse-
quences of dishonesty, intoler-
ance and crime. One, for in-
stance,. starts out with vivid,
highly dramatic street arrest of a
teenager.
In another approach, Kevin
Ryan of Boston University has de-
veloped a school curriculum that
makes character education part
of everyday teaching. This relies
on different works of literature to
impact ethical values.
Many school systems are de-
veloping their own curriculums
that focus on such things as civic
responsibility, respect for oneself
and for others and respect for the
natural environment.
However, whether any of
these approaches will work is still
open to question. "Effective moral
teaching, or character education
as it is sometimes called, involves
more than simply teaching chil-
dren the difference between right
and wrong," said Glen Horton,
campaign manager of The Way To
Happiness Foundation, a non-
profit organization dedicated to
restoring moral values in society.

For almost a decade, The
Way To Happiness Foundation
has distributed 'The Way To Hap-
piness" booklet to a growing num-
ber of schools, civic-groups, par-
ents and children across the
country. Horton said that be-
cause the booklet outlines moral
values completely based on com-
mon sense, children respond to
the publication in an enthusiastic
and dramatic way. They learn
that right conduct is the, only


road to building happy and suc-"
cessful lives for themselves, both
now and in the future.
"'The Way To Happiness' is
the vital educational tool that has
been missing in the large majority
of our schools," said Horton. "Fui
several years now, the booklet
has been working to instill moral
values and build real character in
the few schools where it has been
included as part of the curricu-
lum. In the classroom setting, it
has a track record of resounding
success.

Smith's Decision


Saved Tax Dollars

But He May Get Another Shot At
Public Office in November Election
Secretary of State Jim Smith did Florida voters a big favor by realisti-
cally reading the numbers and withdrawing from the Republican guber-
natorial run-off race. This allows badly needed time for a thorough dis-
cussion of the Issues by the two contrasting candidates-Miami
developer Jeb Bush and incumbent Gov. Lawton Chiles.
The run-off for the top political job in Florida can begin now, instead
of on October 4. The two candidates have agreed to meet in a series of
debates, televised statewide from various locations-and guess what?
Neither one needs to spend more than that $5 million maximum set up
under state law.
There are enough public-private coalitions around to sponsor ample
face-to-face debates. Neither candidate heeds to tap special interest con-
tributions (aren't they all) or dip further into the public slush fund to be
competitive and-think about this--Gov. Chiles could hit a ceiling on
that public tax money to spend on his campaign.
According to his law, he would get $1 of public state matching money
for every $1 Bush gets in contributions over the campaign spending cap
of $5 million. With Smith out of the race and more time for TV debates
(newspaper sponsored interviews, too) which wouldn't cost the candi-
dates a lot of money, it is likely Bush would not have to go over that $5
million cap.
In the first pay-day under the new law sponsored by Chiles, state-
wide candidates who agreed to the cap grabbed more than $4 million
from the state -treasury for their campaigns. Chiles' trip to the trough
brought him more than $800.000; the biggest bite. Bush didn't agree to
the cap mainly because-thanks to his famous father and mother-he
has the healthiest campaign chest of all already.
Smith, a millionaire career politician with a lifetime of honorable
public service and a reputation for being cheap with personal and public
money, is probably smiling about the possibility of saving Florida taxpay-
ers a lot of money. He brags about owning just two pairs of shoes.
BAIT AND SWITCH: It's a new wrinkle in politics, developed by GOP
state chairman Tom Slade, that has Democrats in a tizzy. Republican
chiefs named Secretary of State Jim Smith to run against Agriculture
Commissioner Bob Crawford in the Nov. 8 general election. Smith be-
came eligible when he withdrew from his run-off race with Jeb Bush for-
the Republican nomination for governor. Now smith-when he comes
back off a vacation where he is licking his wounds-can get right back
into the fray with a race against Crawford.
Slade set up the switch earlier by getting Frank Darden, an unknown
Departnient of Education bureaucrat, to qualify against Crawford. Dard-
en agreed to withdraw In favor of Smith. "They call me BOB for bottom of
the barrel," Darden joked.
Crawford said he'll challenge the switch in court, claiming Smith
can't spend any more money because his campaign for governor has al-
ready surpassed the $2 million maximum allowed in Cabinet races.
"Nonsense," said Slade. "Under the election laws, Smith can return
any money left from his gubernatorial campaign and start at zero fund-
ing, as a candidate for agriculture commissioner." Tom Gallagher, Slade
said, could be selected for the race if Smith turns it down when he comes
back off vacation.:
ZERO TOLERANCE? Embattled Educadon Commissioner Doug Ja-
merson's zero tolerance policy was passed'by the Florida Cabinet, but
not without a suggestion from Secretary of State Jim Smith that it really
doesn't give teachers and parents the authority to throw disruptive or vi-
olent students out of class.
The nitty-gritty of the objections to the policy is that it gives teachers
"reasonable" force to protect themselves and other students from violent
classmates, but it doesn't describe the term.
The new policy would put kids in alternative classes, something most
school c1i scts do now, and it calls for 24-hour notice to schools that a
studentidjas been charged with an off-campus crime.
.Tallahassee Cobb Middle School Teacher Judith Birtman, who was
badly beaten by a violent student she didn't know was charged with two
crimes and released by HRS. said Jamerson's theory didn't go far
enough.
"I don't think those children should be mainstreamed. I don't think
they should be in school, period. If somebody's doing something they
should.be in jail for, they should be in jail," Mrs. Birtman said.
She said teachers should be Informed and given real authority to de-
cide with parents if a student should be allowed in a class..The decision
should not be left to school administrative officials, she said.
The News Round-Up
Florida Sen. Bob Graham became a leading defender of an invasion
of Haiti, differing'with GOP Sen. Connie Mack and most of the delega-
tion-including U.S. Rep. Pete Peterson, D-Marianna-who would have
liked to have Congress vote on whether to send troops to the unhappy,
violent island.
Graham said he had decided long ago as a close neighbor of Haiti
that democracy must be restored in Port-au-Prince. 'Here are people who
were about to enter a new era after the election in 1990, then lost it all
when Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forced out by the military rulers. Those
are emotions you can Identify with," Graham said.

NEWS
ROUND-UP
by Jack Harper


Only four others in the Florida delegation to Congress were clearly
behind President Bill Clinton's invasion plan last week. They were West
Palm Beach Rep. Harry Johnson and three House members, all Demo-
crats; of the Congressional Black Caucus-Reps. Alcee Hastings of Mira-
mar, Carrie Meek of Miami, and Corrine Brown of Jacksonville.
Sen. Connie Mack said Clinton's Haiti strategy lacked credibility and
he doubted that it would allow for a quick exit, one of the criteria former
President George Bush established in Desert Storm against Iraq in the
Persian Gulf.
But Mack, like nimost Democrats and Republicans in the delegation,
said troops once committed should receive the full support of the country
and Congress no matter what.
"It is ethically inexplicable" to invade Haiti while allowing Fidel Cas-
tro.to remain in power in Cuba, said Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Bazart, of Miami.
Peterson said that he had concluded that the emergency just doesn't
exist to the level that would require sending in troops, but a Republican
candidate for his post, Carole Griffin, said he had flip-flopped on the is-
sue.
On May 24, she said, Peterson voted in favor of an amendment on a
bill that would require Clinton to certify a "clear and present" .danger to
U.S. interests before sending in troops. On June 9, when the measure
was put to another vote and defeated, Peterson voted against it, Griffin
said..
Peterson said that some of the circumstances had changed when the
bill came to the floor for a second vote.
GOIN'S FUTURE: Florida State University President Sandy
D'Alemberte said he would like to "have a hearing before the hanging",
and thus will wait until the state Ethics Commission makes its final rec-
ommendation before deciding the fate of suspended FSU Athletic Director
Bob Goin.
Goin has been on paid leave since July 2 on charges he got his son a
job with a firm that was doing business with FSU and he got a freebie
roof for his house from a contractor that also was doing work for the Uni-
versity Center.
An ethic commission prosecutor last week urges public censure and
an order to repay $5,000 for the new roof for Goin. The final hearing is
set for Oct 13.
Meanwhile, Florida's statewide prosecutor is now conducting a crimi--
nal investigation into how and why the contractor doing work on the new
center put a new roof on Coin's home.
CASINOS HIT: Gov. Lawton Chiles and Attorney General Bob Butter-
worth filed a petition with the Florida Supreme Court last week seeking
to strike casinos off the November 'ballot as a proposed constitutional
amendment because it would unfairly benefit selected property owners.
The petition cited a proposed $500 million casino in the South Pointe
section of Miami Beach as an example.
The Proposition for Limited Casinos-which has been approved for
the ballot by the high court-if passed by a majority of the voters, will au-
thorize gambling casinos starting July .1:
At one facility each in Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Lee, Orange,
Palm Beach, and Pinellas counties; two facilities in Broward County;
three in Dade County (two in Miami Beachi and one in South Pointe); at
all existing dog and horse tracks and jai-alai frontons; and up to five riv-
erboat facilities to be approved by the Legislature.
'The ballot proposal is 'enriching to a few to the exclusion of others',"
Chiles and Butterworth said. .,
"TOO EASY" Is how Florida TaxWatch officials described the process.
to allow constitutional amendments to become law with a majority vote.
Vice President Neil Crispo said the system allows as few as 17 percent of
the state's registered voters to write changes into the constitution.
"We are getting dangerously close to minority manipulation of the
constitution," Crispo said, "when fewer than half the registered voters
turn out for'an election and fewer of those vote on a particular amend-
ment" ..
