R oad Paving Is ... ltbDO............... Making Progress Road Equipment, Barricades Seen tOn U.S. Highway 98 Through City Tuesday evening, representatives of the Department of Transportation appeared before the Gulf County Commission, telling the state agency's plans for the next five years in the county and getting the Commission's Input as to the transporta- tion needs of the county. Gene Martin and Jimmy Rogers, executives with the DOT of- fice in Chipley revealed a project for Gulf county other than the. three outlined in last week's issue of the Star. Martin and Rogers revealed that a contract will be let by DOT" to re-surface highway 71 between Port St. Joe and White City. ' with work to begin-in-the spring of next year. Included -in the work will be widening of the road to include a .. five foot paved shoulder on both sides of the road, similar to the paved shoulders on that section of 71 north of White City. Rogers said projects currently under construction-highway - 98 to the Franklin county line-would also feature the five foot ; paved shoulder on both sides. "As a matter of fact. all projects .- we pave in the future will have from two to five foot paved shoul- ders included in the project," he revealed. Work has already started on the highway 98 refurbishing in the city limits of Port St. Joe and to the Franklin county line. ' The project is expected to take some 300 days to complete. " Martin presented Commission chairman Warren Yeager with A-.1 %, a map showing roads in the county currently receiving work and .. " scheduled to be re-surfaced in the near future. The section of Highway 98 west of Port St. Joe was not colored in, indicating it Machines dig at the shoulders of the ANRR overpass, pre- is not scheduled for re-surfacing any time soon. paring them for refurbishing. Robinson Predicts Few Voters Will Cast Ballots Voters throughout the state of Florida will go to the polls on Tuesday of next week-probably in dribbles-to select the final candidate in each party to run for the office of United States Sena- tor and state Commissioner of Education. That will be the only names- on the ballot here in Gulf county as candidates on the second pri- mary ballot. This will be the final "weeding out" process prior to the general election, .'scheduled for November 8. Only one candidate will ap,- pear on both the Democratic and Republican primary ballot. On the Democratic ballot the names of Hugh E. Rodham and Mile Wi- ley appear, running it off for a chance to challenge Republican Connie Mack in November. . On the Republican ballot., voters will select between Frank T, Brogan and Bob Morris for a candidate to oppose Democratic Incumbent Doug Jamerson for the office of Commissioner of Ed- ucation. ' CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Other, voting information found in The Star this week, in- clude a complete text of the pro- posed Constitutional Amend- ments as they will appear on the ballot on November 8. These In- clude the highly controversial, questions of whether or not to al- low casino gambling in Florida and whether or not to ban fishing nets in Florida's coastal waters. The amendments may be found on page three of this is- sue. It will be the only time the text of the amendments will be published prior to November 8. EXPECTS LIGHT VOTE Gulf county Supervisor of Elections Cora Sue, Robinson says she expects a very light turn-out of voters Tuesday. "I can't even guess how few will go to the polls to cast their ballot, but I wish I could open only two (See PREDICT-Page 4) 'Space War' Rekindled At Courthouse 3- 2 Vote Moves County Judge Upstairs, Giving Office Space To Elections Supv. County Commissioner Nathan Peters stirred up a hornet's nest Tuesday night, reviving a suggestion which almost caused a civil war between county officials the last time it was considered. Peters recommended a shifting around of office space in the Courthouse which would move Supervisor of Elections Cora Sue Robinson Into the County Judge's suite of offices, giving her of- fice more space and shift the County Judge's office upstairs with the Circuit Judge in the process. Peters made his suggestion in the form of a motion and the discussion began. Commissioners Billy Traylor, chairman Warren Yeager and Commissioner Michael Hammond all joined in the discussion of Peters' suggestion, in different manners. Traylor asked. "Have you mentioned this to anyone or dis- cussed It with the parties involved?" When Peters replied that he hadn't. Traylor just shook his head and replied, "When we dis- cussed this earlier, you wouldn't have any part of moving the judge out of his offices. Now. the man who you had a part in fir- ing as our county attorney has been elected County Judge and you're all for moving him out of his office without even telling him or discussing the matter with him," Chairman Yeager admonished Peters for not at least telling newly elected judge Robert Moore of his proposed plans. 'This isn't the right way to go about this," he said. Hammond said he was in favor of moving all the judiciary upstairs when it was brought up earlier, but couldn't get thecir- cult judge to cooperate. "Maybe now that we have a new judge assigned to Gulf county we might get some cooperation for a re- assignment of offices. Still. I think we should talk it over with the parties involved," he pointed out. Peters stuck to his guns saying the upstairs portion of the Courthouse was the proper place for the complete judiciary to be located in. "Besides, Cora Sue needs more space and this is a way to get It," he remarked. Traylor came back with. "I still consider this a slap in the face of the new Judge. At-least tell him-about something'like this before you just do it! He may be in favor of It!" -: When the vote was taken, Peters won his point when Com- missioners Jesse Armstrong and Michael Hammond voted along with him. RIVER DREDGING How much sand is a million and half cubic yards? How big a pile will it make? How much space will it cover and where can we put it? These were questions the Commissioners had for Public Works superintendent Bob Lester when Lester revealed that the Army Corps of Engineers were going to do some dredging work in the vicinity of Corley Slough, in the Apalachicola River. 'The Corps wants to give us the dredged sand and I want to know if you want to accept it," Lester said. "How much sand is that and what would we use it for?" asked Commissioner Hammond. . "A lot!" exploded Lester. He said the material would be valua- ble to Gulf County for use on dirt roads, if they could find .a , place to store it. The Commission agreed to store it on county property arid mutually agree on other sites as needed. OTHER BUSINESS In other matters of business, the county: -Set up a system by which they would accept gifts of materi- al or equipment without causing a needless uproar such as a re- cent gift of milled asphalt caused. The Commission agreed to have the gift reported to the board with their agreement on where it would be stored. -Instructed solid waste director, Joe Danford, to go look at a tub grinder they were planning to purchase if things were as they were presented the county concerning the equipment. The machine would be used to grind up all organic waste at the landfills and sold as fuel. The $125,000 machine would be pur- chased with grant money. -Heard a report from 911 director Marshall Nelson that the system was -on schedule and would be in operation November 1. Chamber's Fifth Annual Crafts Festival Saturday and Sunday The GulffCounty Chamber of Commerce isi-staging its fifth an- nual Crafts Festival this week end, Saturday and Sunday, in the First Union Park at the intersec- tion of highways 71 and 98. The Festival will be recover- ing from two straight years of rain interrupting the festivities, but the weather man predicts clear and cool weather for this week end. "I feel, if the weather contin- ues to cooperate as it has the past couple of days, we'll have one of our best festivals ever," Ta- mara Laine, Chamber executive director, said. Laine is also chair- ing the festival as well. EXHIBITORS READY Laine said many exhibitors have expressed a desire to come to this festival. "We made them an offer they couldn't refuse after getting rained out for two straight years in a row, and we have sev- eral new ones signed up for the two days. One exhibitor is coming in from California to be in the fes- tival." The festival will. add another dimension to "things to do" in Port St. Joe this week end. It Is also the week end of the George G. Tapper Invitational Golf Tour- nament, which has been on the first week end of October since it began 22 years ago. SPECIAL APPEARANCE A special appearance will be made by the Governor Stone, an antique sailboat berthed in Apa- lachicola at the Apalachicola Na- tional Estuarine Reserve. The Governor Stone is more than 100 years old, restored to its original state and on display in Apalachicola. The Governor Stone offers rides on a regularly sched- uled basis there. The boat will be located at the City Pier on Saturday with sailing trips 'offered on a first come basis at 10:00 a.m., 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. and Sunday at 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. ART SHOW Originally presented as an Arts and Crafts Festival, the arts portion of the week end has been shifted the springtime in-order to allow it more attention. The art portion of the festival had grown (See FESTIVAL-Page 4) I ' 1 THE STAR1994 PAGE TWO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1994 Idi~o0nalsni:Loui Kids Pray THE BIBLE SAYS, "A little child shall lead them." Last Wednesday morning the children in Port St. Joe High School showed adults the way to deeper. spirituality by "leading" them in a return to prayer at the school, which-had been largely aban- doned since the U.. S. Supreme Court decision of several years ago. The students have been "showing" the way to return prayer and worship into the school atmosphere for three years now. Officially, it was a "rally" the students engaged,in. In front of the flag pole, before school, the students gathered en masse -to support worship of Jehovah God before they started their school day. It wasn't a protest, it wasn't a publicity stunt, it wasn't an equal rights rally, it wasn't an alternative to prayer in the schools. It was an exercise of their First Amendment right to gather in a united effort to follow the biblically prescribed solu- tion for crisis in a nation. They did it very well, too! EVER SINCE THE Supreme Court officially frowned on any, school district preparing or requiring that students engage in a specific prayer, adults have wrung their hands, sobbed, cried aloud, objected to, and berated public officials about the lack of prayer in public schools. We heard one outraged, supposedly "Christian" man explode With the expletive, "It's a g--d--- shame our kids can't pray in school any more!" Others have introduced pontifical sounding resolutions, threats and proclamations ever since, pussyfooting around the issue without meeting it head on. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, the Constitution offers protection to the people by way of declaring that government may not require them to worship in any specific manner or follow any ritual dic- tated by government. The Colonists had enough of that in Eng-' land and so elected to come to the new land, America. But the same amendment in the Constitution gives everyone the right to worship as they seefit, without government interfer- ence. This is.what the kids are doing. . The kids have faced the problem head on and come up with the idea of a national movement entitled, "See You at the Pole!" It has swept through schools nation-wide and attracted millions of students to gather at their school's flag pole for a devotional message and prayer before the school day. Over a million students have been reported to have attended the special Christian worship service last year, engaging in -ear- nest prayer. "A little child shall lead them," the Bible says; and they are doing it very well! A Smooth Ride.. WITH THE RECENT rains we have experienced in Gulf county, we have had emphasized more explicitly what deplorable condition the highways are in which pass through Port St. Joe- especially Highway 98. The emphasis is made more of a reality by the fact the state of Florida is beginning to resurface the high- way in Gulf county; the contractor has already started scratch- ing around .and were it not for the steady rains, work would be, currently well underway to correct the matter. By the way, C. W. Roberts Contracting Company of Hosford- has the contract. He was the low bidder on the highway from the south city limits to the Franklin county line and Baxter Asphalt Company of Marianna has the contract to re-surface the road In- side the city limits. Roberts is still getting contracts located in Gulf county, even though there are those mis-guided souls who think there may be some collusion somewhere. Roberts does the -best job for the lowest price. IT HAS BEEN a while since Highway 98 was last surfaced. It has been worked on one time since it was relocated over 30 years ago. Prior to that time, the highway followed the route of, .present county road C-30, around by Indian Pass. Highway 98 is now in its third location. The coastal highway, has needed re-surfacing for some time. It is filled with patches, covering pot-holes which bloom forth with regularity when it comes a heavy rain. THE PAVING JOB IS on that portion of Highway 98 leaving Port St. Joe and heading east. Now, we need a surfacing job on that portion of the highway which heads in a westerly direction. That's the portion of the highway we, personally,. counted 97, potholes over the nine miles from Port St. Joe to the Bay-Gulf county line. That's a lot of potholes. They are still there and if anything, are worse than ever when they open up. We're appreciative of the re-surfacing work just getting un- derway on the only artery out of town in an easterly direction. We'll be more appreciative, when we can head off in any of the three directions out of town on-an equally smooth route. L_ Hunker Down with Kes by Kesley Colbert Diane Now Teaches Drivers' Ed I don't really understand what makes your sixteenth birth- day so special-but it's sure one that stands out. Maybe. for me, it was the songs. Years before ,I' reached that magical moment' record players. juke, boxes, and - the air waves were filled with Sixteen Candles". "Sweet Little Sixteen" and lines like "you're six- teen. you're beautiful. and you're mine..." I don L remember any 'songs about being fifteen. Or fourteen. Or thirteen. Maybe . Chuck Berry. Bobby Vinton and the Crests decided they wouldn't. sing about you till your acne started clearing up. I've heard it expressed that : ixteen marked the beginning of manhood. I know better than 'that! Milton Remick's father drowned the summer we were all thirteen. Milton was the oldest boy. By sLxteen he'd been pulling a man's load for two years. On the other hand I remember many, in our graduating class who, at. eighteen were not even close, to accepting. the meagerest of adult responsibilities.. . L think, probably, what set the sixteenth birthday apart was the drivers' lice n se. Wouldn't you be something! Hey, how about cruising through the Dairy Bar parking lot-you've got the top down on that brand new Chevy, both hands on the wheel and your shoulders reared back-and you're going just slow enough so the wind doesn't disturb one hair of your duck tail..... Cool wouldn't touch it. man. 'Course, that's the dream. The reality is you've been practic- ing your driving on a 1951 Far- mall tractor. I don't know if ya'll remember the Farmall or not, but the steering was so loose that you'd have' to turn the wheel about four or five times around to nudge that tractor a centimeter to the left. And as for the duck tail.....Well, Dad paid for the hair cut, let him tell you: "Son, I give Mr. Gene a quarter, I want to see a quarter's worth of hair hit the floor-if you think you're going 'to look like that Elvis guy or that blond-headed piano player and put your feet under my table...." I decided against the long hair. Mother would let me back the car down the driveway and pull it up again. And Diane Stone let me drive her dad's old Ford pick-up a time or two. I still remember "D's" directions as she pointed my way through the process, "Gas, brake, clutch-got' it? Here's first, up here's second, straight down is third-got it? Now, fire this thing up, you know that big curve go- ing the back way out to the golf course-I took it 'the other night doing 65, I want to see if you can top that!" Mother worried some about. me being friends with an. older girl. She thought. Diane was a lit- tle on the wild side...... I also remember the guys in our class that were a month or so older than me who'd already tak- en the test. Their conversation was sprinkled with terms like, "since I got my license", "well, that was before I had my license", "It, just seems like I've been driv- ing forever", "Sue Linda wants to go riding every night", "I would .come by for you but......." I couldn't wait for my e,birth- day. I wanted to 'be sixteen. I, even got to looking around for those suckers that were younger than me. You bet I was going to do a little rubbing in of my own....... Finally. I .don't remember any presents. Although I'm sure a Chevrolet' Convertible was not one of them! All I wanted was to get down to the highway patrol station where they administered the exam. What's that? Nervous? You've got to be kidding. I'm six- teen! I'm fixing to be able to pick up a date without my mother in the car. I can hang out atthe Dairy Bar until 9:00 p.m. and then drive myself home. Yes! Be- sides, Buddy Wiggleton and La- Renda Bradfield both passed this thing-how. hard can it be? Lis- ten, as hip as I am they may just hand me my license for showing up....... "Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news."

To Amendments Three & Eight N6 No^ Nt^~/l .^yel^* L^Lf/ A nzenjf^^^J^o A Mtl ^^Mlfl9 THE HOUR IS growing late for Floridians to determine to vote against the two constitutional amendments-which, in our opin-, ion, will do more to destroy the' lifestyle in the state, of Florida than a snowstorm every winter. First, I am talking about the amendment to allow casino gam- bling in the state and, second, I'm Stalking about choosing to bati fishing nets in all coastal waters. It's not only my opinion that casinos not be allowed in our state, itis also the opinion of oth- ers--including state officials-as well. Just last week, Florida's Commerce Secretary was quoted by. the newspapers as saying, "The gambling interests are mot the benevolent group of entre- preneurs coming to the aid of our state's economy, although they would have you believe that." He went on to spell out just why casino gambling is, not need- ed-nor wanted add in Florida. I STILL REMEMBER a gov- ernment official from Atlantic City, New Jersey telling me in the lobby of the Mariott Motel in Or- lando, during a lunch break at a; League of Cities meeting several years ago, "Casino gambling has ruined our city." Oh, the-city was still solvent and hordes of people still came there to lose their money and go back home broke. The people who make their home there have a.dif- ferent story to tell, however. Their taxes have more than tripled; their crime rate has soared; their property has depreciated in value and their real estate [for building more casinos] .has gone out of sight. In Atlantic City, the only' method of earning a living is In the casinos, What a future for , your children! ON FLORIDA'S BALLOT will. be an attempt to have the people approve of "limited" casinos in., Florida. The word "limited" gives, the implication that there will be: . only a few. After it spells out in " detail just who is eligible to build ; casinos, it sounds like about eve-' ryone is eligible to build a casino in Florida except the Long Avenue Baptist Church., I can tell you for sure; they never will nbr any oth- er church that we know of. There are 4'7 cities named as eligible for casinos plus every dog track, horse track, jai-alai, and every Indian tribe in the na.- tion. This adds up to almost a slot machine in every corner store to soak up our money. No, I'll never be in favor of ca- sino gambling even if they promise me a Jackpot every day. NEITHER WILL I ever be per- suaded to vote to take the fishing nets out of the hands of commer- cial fishermen. The fishermen have said they will never vote to take my printing press away from' me, so I figure I owe them the same consideration. Consider if you will what would happen to northwest Flori- da-Port St. Joe in particular-if the question were to be placed on the ballot to stop all paper mill operations in the state of Florida. Some of those who make their living by means other than making paper or being involved in the process in some way, may think that would be a good thing for Florida, but what would it be for Port St. Joe, for Panama City, for Pensacola, for Jacksonville, for Palatka? What would it do for the rural top half of the state, whose econ- omy is built on a tree harvest economy? It would do about the same thing the proposed no net consti- tutional amendment would do to Apalachicola, Carrabelle, St. Marks, Steinhatchee, Wakulla, Panacea, Suwannee, Tarpon Springs, Cedar Key, Key West and -hundreds of other small fish- ing communities in Florida. ONE OF MY favorite seafood dishes, when I visit a restaurant, especially a restaurant anywhere within 200 miles of here, Is suc- culent, fresh, fried, broiled, boiled, grilled, stuffed, or mixed into a salad, gumbo, bisque, E'touffe ... shrimp! The pearl of the sea will be denied to each of us in the fresh form, as will most other delight- ful, delectable, delicacies of the briny deep, and I don't like to even think of it. It is my unofficial information that if the net ban is approved the Raffield family will move their operation to Louisiana along with the 200 Jobs which go along with their. business. What kind of an effect will this have on Port St. Joe? These 200 people must eat also.. It isn't a very pleasant thought that we would even con- sider. St. Joseph Bay Date Time t. Time Ht.

During meetings over the past few weeks, the Community Redevelopment Task Force (CRTF), charged by Governor Lawton Chiles with helping flood- damaged areas address their long-term rebuilding needs, has identified state and federal grants, loans and technical assis- tance available to flood-damaged areas. Meanwhile, two of the Pan- handle's regional planning coun- cils, the West Florida Regional Planning Council (WFRPC) and the Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARPC). have, been placed process of getting aid to commu- nities. One of the most important functions of the two groups will be to help flood-damaged areas identify their long-term recovery needs, then place those needs on a pre-application for assistance at no charge. The pre-applications must be submitted' to the CRTF by October 3. Task Force officials are laud- ing the pre-application concept as a way to get communities needed help as quickly as possible. It is designed to streamline the state and federal grant, process. "Each state and federal agency has its own application; there is no stan- dard form," said Task Force Chairman Toni Riordan. '"Without a pre-application, communities grant, loan or request for techni- cal assistance they seek and that's a very- tedious and time- consuming process. Once com- pleted, the CRTF will take Infor- mation on pre-applications and use it to find the most appropri- ate grant or loan to meet commu- nity needs." Assistance available to flood- damaged communities are aimed at helping them recover from the July floods and mitigating, or re- ducing the potential impact of, fu- ture floods. Recovery assistance addresses needs for long-term housing. Infrastructure and eco- nomic redevelopment.

Folic Acid Prevents Some Birth Defects --Such as Neural Tube Defects, According to March of Dimes Tallahassee-During the month of October nearly 343,000 babies will be born m in the United States. About 12,500 babies will be born with birth defects, with 200 of those suffering from seri- ous neural tube defects. The March for Dimes Birth Defects Foundation has chosen October for its Healthier Babies Month to highlight what can be done to give more babies a healthy start. During the month of October. the March of Dimes is urging women to begin taking 0.4 milli- grams of folic acid to help prevent certain birth-defects of the spine and brain that can occur early In pregnancy. Folic acid is a B vitamin found in such foods as leary greens, ,whole grains and some fortified cereals. It is impossible to consume 0.4 milligrams of folic acid through diet alone; therefore, it is Important to eat .a balanced Card of Thanks We wish to thank everyone for their concern and prayers during our recent -tragedy. Greg has beei transported from Bay Medical in Panama City to the In- tenisive Care Unit at the Universi- ty of South Alabama Medical Cen- ter in Mobile. The kindness and concern from family and friends have meant a lot. It appears to be another two to three weeks before Greg will -be allowed to come home. Again, thank you for every- thing. Becky and Greg Weston diet and take a prenatal multivi- tamin/multlmineral supplement to help meet increased needs for folic acid. 'The goal of this year's Healthier Babies Month is to In- crease public awareness about the B vitamin folic acid as a pre- ventaLive measure to reduce the number of babies born with neu- ral tube defects," said Kristen Scarola, Community Services Di- rector. "Public education plays an important role in preventing birth defects. By consuming an .ade- quate amount of folic acid every day, a woman could reduce her chance of having a baby born with neural tube defect by as much as 50 percent." The March of Dimes is a na- tional voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. Through its Campaign for Health- ier Babies, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, com- munity service, education and ad- vocacy. NET PRVD FLORle~ '1U~(0 JIDA S1 ~EA]OODI ANDI3[]OBS PORT ST.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 1994 PAGE 9A Gators Suffer Small Setback from District Rival Sneads A strong first half by the Sneads Pirates last Friday night put an end to the Wewahitchka Gators dreams of a perfect sea- son. The Pirates parlayed the first half and 381 yards of offense into a 35-26 win over the Gators. Still, the Gators racked up 354 yards of their own and scored in every quarter but just couldn't contain, the offensive- minded Pirates in their bid to im- prove their record in District 2-2A play. iTyrone Livingston was the big weapon for Sneads, racing up 163 yards and three touchdowns, and John Reed with 106 yards, as their one-two punch. The Gators' David Hysmith galloped for 89 yards and a TD while Jeff Jones chalked up 36 yards and a touchdown. The Gators sort of evened things out in the offensive statis- tics on Will Sumner's arm. He connected on nine passes good for 201 yards and two touch- downs. Tranum McLemore was on the receiving end of one of the scoring aerials; for 65 yards and Andrew Williams snagged the oth- er from 14 yards. MOMENTARY GATOR LEAD The Gators had the lead only momentarily as they surprised the Pirate defense in the first pe- riod with a long, 65-yard scoring strike from Sumner to McLemore. The Pirates came growling right back with a scoring pass of their own and ran for the extra points to take the lead. Later in the peri- od, they built on their lead with a 10 yards by Livingston and kicked the extra point to take the lead for good. The Gators started strong in the second quarter with Jones plunging through the line for three yards and a TD with McLe- more catching a conversion pass from Sumner to come within one point of catching the Pirates, but Sneads ripped off two more TD's in the first half off a 17 yard run by Peterson and 74 yard gallop by Livingston to put the Gators deep in the hole, 29-14, at half time. ' The Gators went on to score twice more in the game on a one- yard plunge by David Hysmith in the third quarter and a 14 yard pass to Andrew Williams in the fi- nal stanza, but it wasn't enough. Sneads' Livingston and Reed seemed to know how to run on the rain soaked field with a clay base, while the Gators had to de- pend on most of their yardage to be delivered by air mail. The de- fenders did a good job in defend- ing in the slippery conditions, with Adam Ake and Tommy Ga- skin leading the Gators with eight and five tackles respectively. Ga- skin also had a pass interception to his credit. Score by quarters: Wewahitchka 6 8 6 6-26 Sneads 15 14 0 6-35 THE YARDSTICK Jeff Jones (22) runs the ball against the Sneads Pirates Friday night.

The Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission is asking people to avoid taking one of these fawns home. "People who pick up these small deer are usually well- intentioned' but once you remove a fawn' deer from the wild, some- one has got to care for it from then on," said Major Ron Wals-' ingham, GFC Regional Com- manderi. Walsingham said the. Com- mission has received several re- quests for permits to possess deer during the last few weeks, all of which have been denied. "Everyone wants a fawn while they're small and. cuddly but they don't stay small for long. They grow rapidly and can become un- predictable, even to the point of being dangerous," he said. "Most people mistakenly be-, lieve young deer are abandoned when they find them this time of the year but in reality adult deer are usually not far from their fawns. The best course of action is to leave the fawns alone," Wals- ingham said. were seriously injured last Thurs- day afternoon in an industrial ac- cident at Arizona Chetnical Com- pany. Both men were seriously burned when a liquid heat trans- fer system they were disassem- bling to make repairs, shot out some of the super-heated liquid on them. Witnesses reported: they followed the accepted procedure in starting the repairs and' the procedure they followed should have let all the pressure off the liquid in the piece of equipment, before they opened it up. The hot liquid hit. Hattaway and inflicted severe burns over most of his body. Weston received serious bums, but not on so much of;his body as did Hatta- way. Both were transported to hos- pitals to treat them for the seri- ous nature of their burns, imme- diately.. Hattaway was taken to the University of South 'Alabama Medical Center in Mobile, Ala- bama, where he underwent sur- gery Tuesday of this week. He was reported still in critical con- dition at press time yesterday af- ternoon. It has been requested that no flowers be sent to his room, because of his condition. Cards, however, are acceptable. West6n is to undergo surgery today [Thursday].: Weston suffered second and third degree bums on his chest, arms and portions of his legs.

LISTER, CLERK OF COURT going to make those Need I ,,,,-_I Sharks Survive Jacket Attack Des Baxter's leaping catch of a Ryan Yeager pass and Barry Adkison's talented toe combined to give the Sharks their third win of the season last Friday night, defeating the Chattachoochee Yel- low Jackets 7-6 on a rain-soaked field. Water ran down the sidelines and the field itself was as slick as glass from the rain which had fal- len just prior to game time. The Port St. Joe fans were the only ones in the stands as the game started, but the Chattahoochee fans drifted in as it progressed, choosing to stay at home until the rain was over. WET, SOGGY FIELD The Sharks were battling three situations that Friday eve- ning: the soggy field, Ninamdi Frazier sitting on the sidelines and the Yellow Jackets Derek White, who ran almost at will for 109 yards during the game. Der- ek had more yards rushing than the entire Shark team. The wet conditions also re- sulted in several passes being dropped which fell right in the re- ceivers' hands. The Sharks had to make two drives at the goal line in the final period because of the slippery conditions. In the first drive, the wet ball slipped to the ground two yards from the goal line. On the second drive, the Sharks were on the four yard line and Baxter leapt into the air so Ryan Yeager's pass could hit him right in the stomach where he *wrapped his arms around it and fell to the ground with the tying score. Adkison, who has been deadly on kicking the ball through the uprights this season, came on to seal the victory drill- ing a booming kick straight be- tween the goal posts with less than a minute remaining in the game. The Jackets came back in tht final seconds, doing something they hadn't done all night; throw- ing the football. They got to their own 20 yard line before the Sharks' Brian' Jenkins intercept- ed a Jacket pass on the second down, returning 35 yards to score for the Sharks. The TD was called back by a Shark penalty and the team ran out the final 33 seconds on the clock. The first quarter was a score- less. slippery struggle with the Sharks trying to gain solid footing and the Jackets' White seeming to love the muddy conditions, running like a race horse.. BIG JACKET LINE The heavier Chattahoochee line tied up the Shark line and drifted through like water going through a: sieve to keep Yeager's timing off on his passes and hand-offs. ; Yeager completed nine of 22 passes, including the scoring toss in the last minute and 33 sec- onds of the game. The Jackets went up by six points in the second period, when Pate Reynolds hauled in one of Kelvin Brown's four completed passes, to score on a 12 yard play. The Jackets tried what was working for them in the .extra point, attempt, but their run for two extra points failed. Still; the six point lead stood for all but a minute 33 secorids of the game. In the absence of the human bowlil g ball. Ninamdi Frazier. Brian Jenkins had the lead rush- ing statistic, gaining 67 yards in 12 carries. Brian Jenkins and Des Baxter were Yeager's favorite targets with both hauling in two aerials. Jenkins .picked up 14, yards with his catches and Bax- ter had 20, including the touch- down toss. Defensively the Sharks had 13 tackles for losses with Jamaail Fenn, Justin Summers and Rob- ert Williams with eight each and Des Baxter had seven.

Root canal therapy is often recommended to save a tooth and prolong its usefulness for many years. What it really amounts to is taking the nerve out of the tooth. The tooth is not ex- tracted, no does it turn black. You may notice some discoloration in the tooth af- ter root canal therapy, but your dentist can correct this, just as he can correct any discolored or stained tooth. He may use one of several procedures to make it match up with your teeth. One method involves bleaching. Another method is to bond a composite resin over the surface of the tooth. Also, a very thin ve- neer of plastic laminate can be applied. If the tooth needs re- building so you can use it more efficiently for chewing, your dentist may recom- mend that the tooth be cov- ered with a porcelain crown.

CardBOARD Is a single ply of board used in manufactur- ing boxes. Roberson said St. Joe's 15 plants are strung out in the. south, mid-east and mid-west to make the plants near their cus- tomers in order to reduce trans- portation costs and speed up de- livery of the finished product. The plants take most of SL Joe Forest Products production of kraft linerboard for use in their finished product. "We make boxes for most of the common household names you are all fan~_mlar with."

"The box manufacturing busi- ness is also aware of the needs of the environment also," Roberson said. 'We are currently using 30% of our product from recycled ma- terial, with 700% coming from vir- gin paper. I can see where we will eventually arrive at the day when we will be using half recycled ma- terial and half virgin material in our box making process in the fu- ture."

Both Nations are Basket Cases Perhaps there are a lot of Americans (like this old one) who were wishing your baby-faced young president would not have turned our in- vasion forces around as they were headed for Haiti, but-instead-let them continue on to Cuba. Frankly, Cuba poses more of a threat to our national security than Haiti, although both are economic and moral. basket cases which are our responsibility only because we are a Christian nation in a leadership role in the world which should help our fellow man, especially when they are close neighbors. A redirection instead of a turnaround wouldn't have been kosher, of course, Cuba, like Haiti, poses no military threat to the United States and thus neither deserves to be invaded with the inevitable loss of the lives of some of our young men and women. It would, however, have pleased some of us old reporters who re- member Fidel Castro being toasted as a hero by the liberals of the U.S. (on Ed Sullivan's show, no less) and then showing his true colors by em- bracing communism. , Fact is, the U.S. embargo of Cuba and Haiti is working. It is puzzling as to why an invasion of either was even being 'considered. One thought is that Clinton is so desperate to save his faltering administration's dwin- dling standing with the public that he risks an invasion 'to gain that often short-lived support that usually comes when U.S. forces are ,committed anywhere in thie world. ,',, ; Uncle Clem Rednek up here in G'ldsden County and I reject that theory. No U.S. president in our history has sunk that low. More likely, the sleeper-and-real reason Clinton seemed so hell-bent to invade Haiti is that he really feels democracy can be force-fed to third world countries no matter what the history books say. . A year ago the same military leaders in Haiti accused of those awful rapes and murders of their own people signed an agreement to get out and allqw President Jeain Aristide to return to his elected ofce. They didn't. This time they get amnesty from their crimes, but don't even have to leave the country if they allow AristLde to return to take up the reins of government again. ' A tip-off of Clinton's intentions could be ithe fact that-although his invasion plan was bitterly opposed by most Republicans and Demo- crats-the Congressional Black Caucus favored it strongly. A pertinent note also is that Cuban immigrants to the U.S. normally become Republi- cans. Haitian immigrants normally become Democrats. The costs in building democracy and a better standard of living in Haiti hasn't really sunk in to the U.S. taxpayer. Early estimates are costs will hit $5,50 million the first year alone and continue into the 21st cen- tury. U.S. aid workers landed with the troops. The Clinton administra- tion has made plans to feed as many as two million of Haiti's 6.6 million people for a year,or so,' according to news reports. No telling how many other expensive goodies Clinton and the Black Caucus are planning to spread their "democracies of compassion" around the world. Where is the money to come from? Me and Clem figure it'll be taken out of the defense budget (we won the cold war) and working class enti- tlements like Medicare and social security that government officials are carping so much about these days. It won't hurt us oldtimers because we're depression babies and they can't legally cut us out retroactively from some of Franklin Roosevelt's programs that we paid into during our working lives. But pity the post-war baby boomers and their grandchil- dren who make up most of the work force now. Me and Clem do, for they are our kids and grandchildren. . Make no mistake about it. me and Uncle Clem are doffing our hats to President Bill Clinton, former President Jimmy Carter, retired Gen. Colin Powell, and Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn for negotiating the peaceful occupa- tion of Haiti. "They done good," Clem said. "We're just going to have to wait and see iffen this here 'democracy of compashun' works. We should know better, but we Amerlkins always shoot for the moon." Me and Clem have been trying not to criticize so vehemently the'little klfift dodger 'Tho said he was too smart- to-serve in the, Vietnam.-War,- hoping that like'.a lot of our U. S. presidents of the past he will mature and grow into the job. After all, he is our president and, at least until the next election, we're stuckwith him...and he with us. Maybe Clinton is as smart as he says he is?, Me and Clem don't claim to be no "pointed- haided" Rhodes scholars. News Round-Up Thirty-one Florida sheriffs-the largest number ever-endorsed GOP candidate Jeb Bush for governor last week in an attempt to portray Dem- ocratic Gov. Lawton Chiles as soft on crime. 'Chiles countered with a recent endorsement of his own, the State Fraternal Order of Police. and said. "When I became governor, prisoners were serving 32 percent of their time. Now they're going to be serving 75 percent of their time." . But Columbia County Sheriff Tom Tramel. immediate past president of .the Florida Sheriffs Association, said Chiles didn't get interested in fighting crime until election year. .. :. ' "It took the unfortunate deaths of nine tourists to raise the. govern- or's awareness of the problem when 1,238 of your own Florida residents are being murdered every year. His answer to prison overcrowding was to release more criminals," Tramel said. Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells, this year's association presi- dent. said: "People deserve more than political rhetoric regarding prisons Opening October 1 Frank J.

Florida's crime rate ranks No. 1 in the nation, although violent crimes of murder, robberies and aggravated assault are declining slight- ly, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. "BUSH, NO CASINOS" says polls taken September 16-19 for six of Florida's biggest daily newspapers of 2,000 registered voters scattered about the state. Miami developer Jeb Bush led with 47 percent to Gov. Lawton Chiles' 42 percent. Both said the poll was only a momentary glimpse, of the standings that could change, but it is the first survey showing Bush, 41, ahead of Chiles. 64. Crime and punishment were the key issues, according to pollsters. Casino gambling was not nearly as close with 59 percent of those polls saying they would not vote for cast- nos being proposed in a constitutional amendment, 36 in favor, arid 5 percent undecided. TAX GOLFERS: The Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission has come up with a new target in its ancient search for a tax pigeon that would do any self-respecting Taxahassee bureaucrat proud for its sheer originality-a 25c fee on every round of golf that is played on all private or public courses In Florida. The golf pigeon idea was included in the report that called for elimi- nating free hunting and fishing licenses for Florida residents over 65. Un- der the new proposal, it would cost senior citizens $4 for an annual hunting, freshwater or saltwater fishing license, or a $10 combination fee for all three. FARMER SMITH: Secretary of State Jim Smith, saying he'd rather attend a cow sale instead of a ballet, accepted the Republican party's in- vitation to run for Florida Agriculture Commissioner against Democrat incumbent Bob Crawford, who lost a lawsuit to keep him out of the race. A circuit judge ruled Smith could legally accept the nomination be- cause the election laws say only that a candidate can't run for two state- wide offices at the same time.

Student Council The Student Council/ Yearbook Committee is working hard to produce a school year- book for the 1994-95 school year. The Student Council received positive feedback on their inquir- ies from parents as to how many At the beginning of the school year. Port St. Joe had so much rain we had a "rain day". In Penn- sylvania. New York. and other northern states they have "snow days". Students at Port St. Joe Elementary were sent home early because the school was flooded. The week of September 19 was quite rainy, but there were no rain days. I think the kids were hoping most for a rain day so they could get out of school early. Just as the school was al- most rained out, the sun broke through. Usually in Florida if you don't get the weather you want, you just have to wait ten minutes and it will change. Over the sum- mer in Port St. Joe, we haven't been able to use that theory. We swallowed a little bit more rain than we can handle. 99 155SR 12 995 p 4 air, St '1 35.5/80R013 BIG it LIMIT TI P 155/8< P185175 P 195/75 P205/75 P205/75 P215/75 P235/75 O'S 35,000 MILE ED WARRANTY OR13 ......$14.99 5R14.........22.99 5R14 ........ 23.99 5R14........25.99 5R15 ........26.99 5R15... ....27.99 5R15........32.99 BS IDGESTO E TURANZA S World Class Touring performance for domestic and Imported vehicles. 175/70SR13 ..... $60.99 185/70SR13.... ... 66.99 195/70SR14. .. 74.99 205/70SR14.......... 79.99 P195/75SR14. 77.99- P205/75SRI4 ..... ,.82.99 .
