Gulf County Calls Halt To "Cutting Bait"

.. -Decide to Fish Instead



.... Utilizing Idle Anglers


A delegation of 75 to 100
commercial fishermen, whole-
salers, and retailers packed into
the Gulf County Commission
room Monday night for a special
meeting between the Board of
Commissioners and representa-
tives of the fishing industry-iron-
ing out details of Gulf County's
venture into the commercial fish-
ing business.
As reported in last Thursday's
edition of The Star, the Gulf
County Commissioners voted to
enter Into the commercial fishing
business for governmental pur-
poses. Citing Section 16 of Article
10 in the Net Ban Amendment
which says, "This section shall,
not apply to the use of nets for
scientific research or governmen-
tal purposes," Commissioner
Warren Yeager told the group
Monday, "If keeping Gulf County
citizens employed is not a govern-
mental purpose, then we don't
what is."
JUST UNDER THE WIRE
The county's program kicks
off June 15, just 17 days before
the state's Net Ban Amendment,
which would strip commercial
fishermen of a livelihood that has
been passed down for genera-
tions, goes into effect,
Gulf County's plan establish-
es the county -as the governmen-
tal entity authorizing agents to
buy fishery products from proper-
ly licensed Gulf County citizens.
The agents and fishermen will be
required to enter into a contractu-
al agreement with the county in
order to participate In the pro-
gram., ,
In Yeager's reading of the res-
oluUon passed by the Board, he
pointed out to participate In Gulf
County's Fisheries Program, flsh-
ermen must unload their prod-
ucts thorough a county-designat-
ed wholesale or retail seafood
dealer, who will collect a partici-
pation fee, of two percent of the
dockside value of the fishery
product unloaded, and remit it to
the county on a monthly basis.
Answer Questions
After explaining the resolu-
tion and contract specifications
the Board fielded questions con-
cerning the program from those'
present. Small County Coalition
consultant, and Director of
Southeastern Fisheries Associa-
tion, Bob Jones, was also present
to help explain the county's posi-
tion. He told the fishermen,
"Things shouldn't be much differ-
ent than what you're doing now if
this holds up."
"If we get arrested are we on.
our own?" asked Elmo Sander,
wondering how far the county
would go in supporting the fisher-
men.
Jones fielded his question
explaining that there was a lot of
legal activity and thought being
put into the issue. He posed one
option in which a declaratory
decree might be sought through
legal means which would ensure
that no one would be touched If it


Local fishermen pay close attention to an explanation of tempting to join forces with them to circumvent Florida's
the manner in which the Gulf County Commission is at- new net ban law which goes into effect July 31.



County Makin g Ready


to Assume Operation


of So, Gulf Ambulance

Have July 31 Takeover Date ,


Tuesday's regularly sched-
uled County Commission meeting
was somewhat anti-climactic fol-
lowing Monday evening's special
meeting with local fishermen con-
cerning the county's fishing reso-
lution. However several points of
Interest were discussed.
Don Butler, Chief Admini-
strator, told the Board that the
Ambulance Committee was mak-
ing strides in preparation for the
-county's takeover of the service on
July 31st.
Butler told the Board the
committee had met with ambu-
lance administrators from Bay
Medical Center workshopping
some of the hurdles to be crossed
by the county. His recommended
to the Board to pursue utilizing
someone from Bay County's ser-
vice to help organize the transi-
tional phase of the takeover for
the first few weeks. He also told
the Board work was progressing
on getting the ambulance build-
ing ready and it should be ready
to house, the service well before
the July 31 deadline.
According to Butler, the
search is continuing. for a local
doctor to serve as director for the
squad.
At the request of Board
Chairman Michael Hammond the
'Board appointed Butler as
Personnel Director for the new


ambulance service. His responsi-
billUes will Include the, hiring
and/or firing of personnel for the'
squad as well as handling other
personnel problems.
COURT REPORTER
Hammond announced to the
Bqard. "The county is fixing to
have to get into the court report-
ing business."
Starting July 1 Gulf County
will be financially responsible for
furnishing a court reporter for cir-
cuit and county court proceedings
at the Gulf County Courthouse.
the State of Florida had previ-
ously incurred the expense of fur-
nishing court reporters for coun-
ties in the state, but following the
enactment of Article Five the state
.has been turning many such
functions over to the individual
counties to finance.
the service is projected to cost
the County somewhere -in the
neighborhood of $13,000 per
year, $3.100 of which will come
through a state grant
BOAT LANDING PERMITS
Commissioner Billy Traylor
reported that Barbara Sanders,
Board attorney, had looked over
the legalities of initiating permit-
ting fees to be charged to users of
the county's boat launching facil-
ities. Traylor reported she felt the

County Commissioner Warren Yeager, originator of the
idea for the County to get into the fishing business, explains
to his audience just how the "deal" will work, as Commis-
sioner Jessie Armstrong listens.

FILE DECLARATORY DECREE
During Tuesday's regular
County Commission meeting the
Board did indeed ask their attor-
ney. Barbara Sanders, to file for a
declaratory decree in Gulf County
Circuit Court. It declares that the
-amendment "means 'what It says",
Sanders explained.
Pat McFarland asked the
Board, ."If-it goes to litigation, how
far will the county go,?"
Franklin County Commis-
sioner Buford Braxton spoke

German Economic Group Visits 8 ;(
L^. '^^^:-: 7.:-'.'-BIIW^ H H^ ^H HB


In Port St. Joe and Gu


Last week four German eco-
nomic development professionals
from the Ostthuringen region of
tht: state of Thuringia toured the'
Apalachee Regional Planning
Council, headquartered in
Blountstown, to learn about
American approaches to econom-
i.c development. The group was in
Port St. Joe and Gulf County Fri-
day, touring small business,
banks and management corpora-
tions. The Germans are visiting
as part of an exchange which
pairs regional development organ-
izations in the U. S. and regions
in the former East Germany. The
exchange program is organized by
the National Association of Devel-
opment Organizations (NADO) Re-
Ssearch Foundation in cooperation
with the German Marshall Fund
of the United States and the Ger-
-man Federal Economics Ministry.
CHAMBER HOSTS VISIT
While here, they were greeted


and hosted during their visit by
Mayor Frank Pate and Tamara
Laine, representing the Chamber
of Commerce. The group was ac-
companied by their translator,
Robert Devine of Fort Worth, Tex-
as.
From May 1 through May 10
Charles Blume, Executive Direc-
tor of the Apalachee RPC, visited
the Ostthuringen region and two
other eastern German regions as
the first part of an exchange be-
tween German and American eco-
nomic development professionals.
"We are sharing our 30 years
of rural -economic development
experience with the hope that
German regions can learn from
our successes," explains Blume.
The visiting exchange team
here in Port St. Joe were Jurgen
Kepke, managing director of the
Eastern Thuringia Economic De-
velopment Agency since 1991.
Prior to 1991 he was responsible


If County
for planning for the city of- Gera;
Klaus Bickel, responsible for eco-
nomic development for the city of
Gera which anchors the region;
Dr. Wolf-Peter Pankau, head of
economic development for the city
of Altenburg; Holgar Richter, a
member of the management staff.
responsible for the new German
states as the Federal Ministry of
Economics. His main duty is fos-
tering cooperation with local com-
munities and counties in the area
of economic development. Prior to
working at the Economics Minis-
try, Mr. Richter was with the fed-
eral privatization agency (the
Treuhandanstalt) helping with
the sale of former East German
businesses and property.
While in Florida the group
will focus on common issues
such as environmental concerns,
public-private partnerships in
small business lending, and high
technology industry.


German Trade group pauses for dinner Kesley Colbert, representative of Gulf
while visiting in Port St. Joe Friday, along County on the ARPC [second from left near

Forced Into It
WE DON'T PARTICULARLY like the government getting into
private business operations; especially where private individuals
and capital can do a better and more efficient job at a cheaper
price to the customer. One of these ventures is the fishing busi-
ness.
However, the state of Florida doesn't leave us any alternative.
Local government must get involved or just forfeit any hopes off
maintaining any semblance of a commercial fishing operation,
which the great majority of those of us here in Gulf county don't
wish to see happen.
So, local government has fulfilled its duty. Gulf County's lo-
cal government has taken the only avenue left available to us by,
getting the county in the position of becoming a commercial en-
terprise in order to protect the livelihood of a goodly portion of
its people and protect its sizable investment in a giant freezer-
the largest along the coast from Tampa t: Mobile, Ala.-built
specifically for handling seafood
WITH THE OPPOSITION the commercial fishermen have
from the Marine Fisheries Commission here in Florida, we don't
see them allowing the County to get away with this ploy, accept-
ing the position of commercial fishermen in name only, just to
get around the law. We expect them to buck it, just as they have
every move made by the commercial fishermen; a group they
were originally created to help, instead of hinder.
Don't look for each of the five Gulf County Commissioners to
go around with a pair of white rubber boots in their car, charac-
teristic of a fisherman; or become the rugged individualist which
most fishermen are. They will still be politicians, willing to bend
to any task for the good of their constituents. We're just proud of
them for seeing a need and meeting that need before it's too late.
THE STATE TOURISM community should join in approving
their actions also. What will a Florida be like which has no fish
or shrimp for the thousands of seafood restaurants which have
sprung up over the state and become renowned for serving their
tasty, fresh seafood. Florida wouldn't be the same without them.
There are a number of imitators, but somehow their frozen
fare which is mostly caught in distant waters, just doesn't meet
muster when it comes to comparing with the fresh-caught prod-
uct. We've gotten used to it and we feel the MFC would be a little
less inclined to enforce regulations which weren't there' if they
could only eat one fried-while-it-was-still-flipping mullet!


Use Warning Restraints

WE AGREE WITH Panama City Beach Police Chief Lee Sulli-
van. It has been our contention for a long time. Officials should
stop scaring the be-Jeebers out of people unless there is some-
thing to scare them about.
Hurricane Allison should be a case in point. At no time along
its journey through the Gulf did it pose the threat which it was
given credit for., .
A professional member of a National Weather Service hurri-
cane hunter squadron; whose business and duty it is to fly into
the eye of such storms for several years said there, was no real
danger from Allison. If he knew, the emergency: people knew.
WE ARE NOT ADVOCATING the abolition ,pf giving out dan-
;ger warnings and keeping the people advised on a storm's
progress. That should be a mandatory task of the emergency
people. But call a screeching halt to this practice of advising eve-
rybody to get out of the path of every blow which springs up.
In our mind, that practice is more dangerous than the storm
the magnitude of Allison could ever be for two reasons:
Reason number 1-People aren't fools. They can protect
themselves if they know what they are facing. When they return
to their homes after leaving for an Allison and see a minimum of
inconvenience to those "foolhardy" people who' stayed, they just
may ignore the same warnings on, say, a "Kate" and really get
smacked!
Reason number 2-Trying to safely drive in a glut of traffic
with the crying kids and the family dog and cat in the car at one
time is an activity which is difficult enough on a clear day, with-
out compounding the risk of having to do it In stormy weather.
WE'RE NOT DOWN-GRADING the purpose of the emergency
people here. We have left for a safer location on occasion, but we
have exhibited a little common sense in doing so, weighing the
danger in staying and the danger in leaving. You emergency peo-
ple do a good and needed job.
And, for heaven's sakes, notify the people in Weather that "in
between" Apalachicola and Panama City is a very important little
city, containing a numberi- of good people, by the name of Port St.
Joe. A number of people here are lulled into a sense of false se-
curity, because we haven't been identified as the possible target
of ANY storm!


bunker Down with Kes


by Kesley Colbert


Emily Was All State Two Years Running


I'm not a big basketball fan,
but I've been watching some of
the NBA playoffs. They play on a
plane that's above my compre-
hension. Of course, at 5'10 1/2" I
didn't shoot many sky hooks over
anyone and I didn't spend much
time above the rim. As a matter of
fact I've 1NEVER been above the
rim. I guess that's why I watch in
awe as Shaq and Hakeem battle
for rebounds bouncing up off the
metal. But'what I really marvel at
is the 3 point shooting from nev-
er-never-land. Night after night
those guys are bombing 'em in
from 51 feet out!


Amazing!
And I'm not sure the common
man understands how difficult
that is!
Paul David Campbell had a
small back yard. And an ever
spreading mimosa tree took up
most of it. The basketball goal
was tucked in a back corner. I
was.too young to play. As usual
I'd followed my big brother down
the street. Leon and Jackie would
be taking on Paul David and big.
John Ed Gardner. They missed
more than they hit. And if they
were playing to 10 baskets I no-
ticed that the pushing and shov-
ing picked up when one of the
teams reached 7 or 8. I'd never
seen a real basketball game-I
didn't know a thing about fouls
and free throws, and such-but
Leon tripping John Ed every time
he started for the basket didn't
seem quite fun. .... .


When they stopped Ior a wa-
ter break I grabbed the ball. That
tllng was biger that it looked .
. and heavier. I squinted up
through the sun at the goal. It
near 'bout reached the sky! I
backed up and got a. running
start-and threw that Dolph
Schayes' autographed pumpkin
as hard as I could straight up. It
might have gotten half way to the
intended target.
Clearly, that shot was a har-
binger of my basketball career.
A few years passed and Leon
and Jackie and them moved up
to the high school gym. Ricky
Gene and Yogi and me moved
into Paul David's back yard. Our
ball was autographed *by some
guy' named Bob Cousy. And it
wouldn't .bounce worth a flip on
that grass. And just imagine try-
ing to dribble on the uneven dirt
"court" we'd worn down directly


in front of the goal. After a rain
we'd have to dnbble over the wa-
ter in the pot poles. That's when
we adopted the two step rule. You
could take two steps (sometimes
vou could stretch it to three or
four) after your last dribble if you
were going to shoot. I know you
must be familiar with this rule-
the NBA has been using it for
years.
Each season the goal seemed
to move a little .closer. But that
didn't help, much. I tried one
hand set shots, two hands set
shots, jump shots, between my
legs shots... I got to hitting
the backboard regularly and I
took that as a positive sign.
By junior high the school had
built a concrete tennis court out
back of the gym, with basketball
goals at each end. Folks, we were
in the big time. They even had

A Walk Down:My Street Is Entertaining As Well As Good Exercise


YOU NEVER KNOW what
you will see, or what you will
learn, or how far your imagina-
tion will run away from you;
when you take a walk down my
street. It has happened to me. Of
course, it doesn't take much of a
sojourn down only a short street
to qualify as a "walk" for me any-
more.
One day last week, I was out
for a walk. I hiked all the way
from my home, down Allen Me-
tmorial Way, to the Bay and back
again. That constituted a walk for
me and all my neighbors along
the way keep me entertained as I
journey down the street and
back.
It was late in the afternoon.
The squirrels were out for their
afternoon feeding and they were
entertaining, too. A walk isn't
boring on my street and the traf-
fic doesn't get in the way of pe-
destrians like me, either.


SETAOIN SHRDLU


tamsey


I HAVE SOME interesting
neighbors on my street. You nev-
er know what you will see, hear
or smell, as you meander down
the street for your afternoon con-
stitutional.
For instance, how many
streets in town can you hear a
Cuban battle cry, "We shall re-
turn!" as you make your way
along? Dr. Jorge San Pedro lives
across the street-and the park-
from me and he epitomizes the
true hot-blooded Latin in the
neighborhood.
He even built his home like a
miniature "Alamo". He's ready!


If he wasn't laughing all the
time and greeting one heartily
every time you see him, one,
would think he was a hermit...
a Cuban hermit, at that.

I WAS TAKING MY afternoon
stroll Wednesday evening, after
the paper had been put in the
mail and I came to Greg John-
son's house. Greg is another of.
those neighbors who is either just
getting home or leaving when you-
see him.
Greg got himself a load of dirt)
to spread in his yard recently. It's'
still there.


The poor fellow can't get his
wife to spread it!
It's grown up, now, with a
crop of grass and weeds all its
own. I'm beginning to think what
he had in mind was making his
own private driving tee.
Greg is probably the most in-
teresting neighbor on the entire
street. There's no telling what you
will see in his yard.
Greg must be a frustrated
sailor. Early in the year, I was
walking by and saw ,three boats
sitting in his back yard, all lined
up side by side, like soldiers at
attention. I said to myself, "Now
there's a fellow who wants a boat
that will run when he decides to
go fishing. But I never see him go.
He just buys boats to have some-
thing to sit In the yard, I guess.
Memorial Day, I saw a brand
new boat in his drive, equipped
with a canopy over the cockpit
and two long whip antennas on
the rear truly a boat pur-


chased for action. But Wednes-
day, I passed by and the large,
"bay" boat was still parked-with
two smaller ones alongside!

LAMAR HARDY, the horticul-
turist of the neighborhood, had a
yard which needed cutting.
Shame, Lamar! He hadn't' even
picked up the debris from "Alli-
son" yet! That' isn't like Lamar.
Why, Frenchie has already picked
up our yard after the big storm
I give Lamar credit, though.
He's one of the few on the street
who still cuts his own grass. He
gets out his little push lawn mow-
er, with the grass catcher on the
side and goes at it like fighting
fire!
I saw Greg's riding lawn mow-
er sitting in the yard, like it was
out of gas, the other evening. Try-
ing to fool strangers just passing
by, Greg?

THEN, OF COURSE there is


Bill Rich and Dave May. All Dave
does is run his sprinklers and fly
his coat of arms flag on the front
of his .house. I guess it's a coat o"
arms printed on the banner; it's
all a bunch of mixed-up colors
with a psychodellc air. That's
Dave; psychedelic! '
Betty. Rich makes it hard for
the whole neighborhood. Sh
picks up any stray pine' needle
which ;has the temerity to fall in
her yard--or Bill's yard, if you're
talking to. him. It has been my obl-
servation that Bill Rich has the
most effective method for keeping
his yard clean and the grass cut.
He just goes fishing while Betty
does it!
Viva! Bill, you're my kind of
guy!
I can hardly wait for Dr.
"Dusty" May to move in his new
house. He has already put yellow
ribbons on all his trees. That has
the makings of a good mystery;
already!

,Yeager stated, several of the
state's coastal counties and cities
were looking at following suit with
Gulf County and there is a possi-
bility they all might join together.
Franklin, Wakulla, Taylor and,
Levy counties, along with the City
of Destin, were mentioned by both
Yeager and Jones as being active-
ly pursuing the same avenue.
When asked by Dewayne
Bridges: how fishermen in the
county 'would be identified, the
Board responded that Initially
they would have to carry a copy of
their contract with them, but
some type of I.D. system would be
worked out for the future.
WOULD COVER ALL NETS
The county's resolution Intent
would coQve all nets. including
shrimp nets,' under the Net Ban
Amendment.
Guy Gibson asked the Board
how new. rules ,.made by the
Marine Fisheries Commission
would affect them. Bob Jones
responded that the Commission
would still be able to make rules
but those rules had to be
approved by the Governor'and the.
Cabinet. "If we do our job right it
might not be a problem," he said.'
Gene Raffield thanked the
Board and Bob Jones, Individual-
ly and collectively, for their efforts
and leadership in trying to pre-
serve the fishing industry in Gulf
County. "It's been said you can
only get so low in the barrel-well,
we're about as low as you can
.get," Raffield said.
He, encouraged everyone to
abide by the laws. "We are law
abiding citizens-hopefully this
can- be handled through the
courts." Raffield told the Board
somewhere between 80 to 85 per-
cent of the people in Gulf County
agree with what they are doing
(according to Gulf Cdiunty's bal-
'loting on-the Net Ban Amendment
issue).
Bob Jones summarized to the
gathering that they were going to
be scrutinized very closely by the
other 66 counties in the state and
by those in other states. "This is
an unprecedented,move," he said
about determining what is a gov-
ernmental purpose by the Board
:of Commissioners. -
The resolution adopted by the
County Commission requests the
Florida Marine Fisheries Commis-
sion enact a rule capping the har-
vest of saltwater fishery products
from GUlf County at the highest
levels of harvest within the past
five years for all fishery species in
Gulf County that would have been
affected by the net ban.
Contracts to join the county's
fishery program can be picked up
at the County Clerk's office.

ON C-30 SOUTH OF PORT ST. JOE


Dr. Bernard Sliger, former
president of Florida State Univer-
sity, in Tallahassee, was in Port
St. Joe, Thursday morning repre-
senting the Gus A. Stavros Cen-
ter. The center is dedicated to the
advancement of free enterprise
and fostering economics educa-
tion. He was in Port St. Joe on an
annual search for support in the
form of money and members for
the organization.
Dr. Sliger met with several lo-
cal supporters of the free enter-
prise system at a breakfast gath-
ering at J. Patrick's Restaurant'
and spoke briefly to the group,
explaining what the Stavros Cen-
ter was doing In this area.
Sliger reported that 15 teach-
ers had been sent to FSU for
grounding in economics and giv-
en instructions and training in
teaching the economic and free
enterprise education in Gulf
County high schools. 'This train-
ing is paid for by local contribu-
tors to the program," Dr. Sliger
said.
The, speaker said he was
here, primarily, to help perpetu-
ate that flow of local funds to
their program.
The Stavros Center promotes
and encourages such activities as
'The Stock Market Game," under-
standing taxes and understand-
ing the economy, in our high
school, here in Port St. Joe.
LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES
The Stavros Center has two
local individuals on its Board of
Directors;, George Duren; owner
of Saveway Super Market and
:Ralph Roberson, Manager of St.
Joe Container's plant, who ar-
ranged Thursday morning's visit.
In the "Stock Market Game"
students receive a hands-on moti-
vational approach to teaching
students about the U. S. economy
and the world of business and fi-
nance. The students in the game
actually buy and sell stocks for
the entire school termi.
The capstone of the Stavros


program is to prepare teachers to
teach a comprehensive, one-
semester high school economics
course.
The course includes prepar-
ing the students to understand
money, banking and the federal
reserve system in the U. S. econo-
tory institutions play in the na-
tional fiscal policies. It teaches
students how and why economic
systems function.
The understanding of taxes is
another important subject which
prepares teachers with ways to
teach about different types of tax-
es, the role of the taxpayer, tax


reform and fairness issues, pre-
paring them to pass on the same
infonnation to their students.
The economic education in-
fonnrmation includes such subjects
as; Econ and Me, Eyes on the
economy and Global Economics.
All of these subjects together
helps students to understand the
whole of the economic system,
rather than have a misunder-
standing through not seeing the
whole picture and how it is inte-
grated into the entire economic
picture.
Nearly $3.000 was contribut-
ed Thursday for Stavros Center to
continue its work in Gulf County.

Puss posss), Saddleback, 10
(Eye-oh),, Hog, what do those
words have in. common? They're
the names caterpillars, the kind
of stinging caterpillars most often
encountered in Florida. It pays to
know what these villains look like
because you don't want to come
in contact with any of the four. In
this article I'll describe these anti-
social critters, and the effect of
their poison.
Actually, so called "stinging"
caterpillars don't have stingers
like ants, bees, and wasps. 'In-
stead, they have a number of
hair-like spines connected to poi-
son glands. When these spines
contact, a person's skin, the poi-
son is released, causing a variety
of unpleasant reactions. My infor-
mation on stinging caterpillars
was provided by Extension Ento-
mologist Dr. Don Short, of 'the
University of Florida's Institute of
Food and Agricultural Science.
Stinging caterpillars feed on
many plants, but they seldom are
present in large enough number
to cause serious damage. Their
stings, rather than feeding, pose
the primary threat. That's why
it's important to learn. to recog-
nize and avoid these cantanker-
ous crawlers.
The puss caterpillar is stout
bodied, almost an inch long, and
completely covered with gray to
brown hairs. Under the soft hair
are stiff, poisonous spines. When
touched, the spines break off in
the skin, causing severe pain.
The saddleback caterpillar
has a more striking appearance.
It's brown, with a wide green
band around the middle of the
body. There's a large brown sad-
die on a green blanket. The sad-
dleback may,exceed an inch in
length, and Is stout bodied. The
main poison spines are borne on


By Barbara Eells
Late' at night or in the wee
hours of the morning, there
emerges, from the waters of our
beach shores, a big dark-looking
sea creature. She slowly, slowly
pulls and pushes her some 150,
to 400 pounds form upon the
beach. A very fast swimmer in the
water, but once on land it is very
difficult for her to maneuver.
Male and female sea turtles
have been mating off-shore for
weeks in preparation for the fe-
male to come ashore to lay her
eggs.
S The sea turtle drags' herself
ashore and begins to push down-
ward into the sand with her head
and front body to determine if the
area is suitable for eggs. If she is
ready to lay, she will excavate a
bulbous-shaped hole where she
will deposit her clutch of ping-
pong sized eggs. A sea turtle usu-
ally averages about 110 eggs per
clutch. She will then cover the
eggs and crawl back into the sea.
The entire egg-laying process
usually takes anywhere from one
to two hours.
The most common sea turtle
to lay in this area is the logger-
head turtle, but the green and

Most contacts with stinging


leatherback turtles may also be
seen. All of these turtles are en- "'

Here are some tips if a sea
turtle is sighted:
Stay away. Don't use any
lights or flashes.
Do not wipe away the turtle
tracks.
Do not try to help the turtle .
or dig in the nest.
Turtles do not enjoy noise,
so be cautious.
Do not build bonfires near a
turtle's nest.

caterpillars occur in the spring
and summer. And, as might be
expected, children, campers, and
gardeners are the most frequent
victims. When playing or working
outdoors in infested areas, it pays
to wear a long sleeved shirt, long
pants, and gloves.
Reactions to caterpillar poi-
son vary with an individuals.
Sensitivity itching, burning,
swelling, and nausea may be ex-
perienced. In several cases, fever,
shock and convulsions may oc-
cur. If a person has a history of
hay fever, asthma or allergy-or if
allergic symptoms develop-a
physician should be contacted w
immediately. In cases of milder
reactions, a strip of adhesive tape
should be placed on and pulled
off the affected area repeatedly to
remove the spines. Then apply ice
packs, followed by a paste of bak-
ing soda and water.
Since so few stinging caterpil-
lars are normally found on plants
around the home, mechanical
methods usually offer the easiest
means of control. Just carefully
remove and crush the caterpil-
lars, or knock them into a pan of
kerosene. If a pesticide is needed,
"sevin or diazinon may be used in
accordance with label directions
for caterpillar control.

Weatherspoon Important
Part In Air Defense
Army Master Sgt. Sidney D.
,Weatherspoon played an impor-
tant part in the military's largest
Joint air defense training exercis-
es dubbed "Roving Sands" '95.
The 10-day exercise involved

Fort Bliss, just North, of El Paso,
Texas,. to the vast deserts of
White Sands Missile Range and
southeastern New Mexico.
The purpose of the exercise
was to evaluate air defense tech-
niques from many different or-
Sganization, services and countries
in a highly realistic combat envi-
ronment. The training also show-
cased new tactics, techniques,
* and hardware systems designed
to catapult air defense into the
21st century.
He is a first sergeant with the
Seventh Air Defense Artillery at
SFort Bliss,' Texas.

Because hurricanes can
damage water systems and cause
contamination, store water if a
hurricane is imminent. Water can
be stored in clean bathtubs, jugs,
bottles and cooking utensils.
During hurricane season,
keep your vehicle's fuel tank full
to be prepared for sudden evacu-
ation. Service stations may be out
of service after a hurricane
strikes.
If a hurricane warning is is-
sued, board up or tape windows.
Tape may not keep a window
from breaking, but it can help re-
duce the danger of flying glass.
Check refrigerated foods for
spoilage if an electrical power out-
age occurs. Foods that are not
properly refrigerated, or that are
not cooked thoroughly during
preparation, can harbor danger-
ous bacteria that can cause food
poisoning.
Check now to make sure
you have sufficient homeowners
and flood insurance. Most insu-
rance companies won't issue new
coverage once an area has been
placed under a hurricane watch
or warning.
People should also inspect
the grounds around their homes
prior to hurricane season to help
eliminate or reduce damage from
trees. Foresters with the Depart-
ment's Division of forestry recom-
mend the following:
Look for dead or dying
branches on trees, and prune
them so they can't be torn off and
become destructive projectiles.
Remove dead or dying trees
from your property. Some trees or
branches tan be removed by the
homeowner without special
knowledge or equipment, but big
jobs should be performed by a
tree surgeon or professional tree

WHAT REALLY IS
DRUG ABUSE?
V Although commonly used by authorities to describe the
indiscriminate use of those drugs associated with "turning
on," "kicks," and "trips," it also is the unwise use of any
drug. Too much aspirin, constant use of a nose spray,
excessive dependence on a cough syrup would all be good
examples of drug abuse.
Actually, you abuse your body when you rely too much
on over-the-counter, non prescription medications when
you are sick. Rely instead on the knowledge and experience.

When Gum


Pockets Form


Does toothbrushing or eat-
ing hard foods make your gums
bleed? If so, you can be sure
that some inflammation is going
on. Pockets of bacteria may
have developed around some
of your teeth.
Gum tissue has two parts.
the lining or surface tissue is
called the epithelium. The
dense supportive tissue that
lies under it is called connec-
tive tissue. In the early destruc-
tion phase, called gingivitis,
bacteria attack the gum lining
and connective tissue. Your
body sends cells to fight the
bacteria, but some of them are
destroyed in the process.
When, these cells die, enzymes
and other substances are re-


leased that contribute to the
destruction of gum tissue and
bone. As the disease progress-
es you may notice that your
gum tissue looks red and
shiny. It may also look slightly
puffy or swollen and bleed
more easily.
Fortunately, gum disease,
even at this stage, is reversible
if you ge,t the treatment you
need from your dentist. The
longer you delay treatment,
however, the greater your
chances of losing teeth.

ton for crushed clear glass, $30 a ton for brown glass and
$20 a ton for green glass. It doesn't take much, by volume,
to make a ton, making a truck-load contain several tons.

Dear Counselor,
It's been almost a year since
Tropical Storm Alberto flooded my
family's trailer.- Just thinking
about the approaching storm sea-
son makes me nervous, and I
can't sleep when it rains. We did-
n't have enough money to fix the
whole trailer and there is still one
room that leaks. I am afraid that
the roof will fall in before we can
afford to get it replaced. I know
it's been a year but I feel like I'm
going crazy, and that I shouldn't
be so afraid of another storm.
What can I do to get over this?
Flooded with Anxiety

Dear Flooded,
Alberto caused such vast
damage that it was a
Presidentially declared disaster.
Studies have shown that it often
takes disaster victims over a year
and sometimes up to three years
to feel that life is back to "nor-
mal." In fact, sleeplessness and
fears of another flood are two of
the most common lasting reac-
tions to this type of disaster. And
with all the confusing inforination
about government buy-outs and
free grants, many people are feel-
ing hopeless about repairing their


own homes.
To relieve some stress, make
sure you are taking some time
each week just for yourself,
a preferably somewhere away from
your damaged home. This could
be as simple as a long walk or a
picnic. PROJECT COPE, a federal-
ly funded program designed for
Alberto survivors, offers short
term counseling and stress reduc-
tion help, as well as many other
helpful, services. All of PROJECT
COPE'S services are free and con-
fidential. You can reach that pro-
gram through the Gulf County
Guidance Clinic at (904) 227-
1145.
Sincerely,
C.L.Stauss; B.S.
Outreach Counselor

What are favorite ingredients for
Southern-style salads? According to an
informal poll, black-eyed peas, goat
cheese and dried fruits are just a few
ingredients gaining popularity among
the region's salad lovers. To get to the
bottom of Southern salad bowls, Kraft
Foods polled residents and chefs to find
out what's new and fun in salads.
According to the Kraft poll*, gone
are the days when salad meant mun-
dane-Southerners are taking advan-
tage of the increased availability of
fresh vegetables and setting new taste
trends by experimenting with non-tra-
ditional ingredients. On average, the
poll shows people in the South add four
to six ingredients to salads and popu-
lar additions are bacon bits, croutons
and bean sprouts. Southern restaurant
chefs give their salads a special twist
by adding such ingredients as fried egg
roll wrappers, purple potatoes, dried
cherries and tropical fruits.
The poll also found' chefs use the
fresh taste of herbs to unlock the great
taste of salads. Across the country,
herbs are becoming an increasingly
popular way to add flavor and excite-
ment to foods with little effort. In re-
sponse, Kraft is introducing fresh news
in salads with Kraft HerbTM dressings,
which feature one distinct herb flavor
for one great taste. The five varieties
are: Creamy Cucumber Dill, Dijon
Dill, Red Wine Vinegar & Thyme,
Garden Tomato Basil &. Oregano and
Italian Tomato & Oregano:
"'Southerners can have fun with
their salads by adding a variety of
foods indigenous to the region, whether
it's Georgia peaches, tropical fruits
and seafood from Florida or North
Carolina smoked .ham," says Carol
Blindauer, division manager, Kraft
Creative Kitchens. "To dress up these,
ingredients, salad lovers look for
dressings with personality, such as
new Kraft HerbTM dressings."
Here are some additional highlights.
from the, regional survey:
Compared to two years ago, 17
percent of Southerners are ejiing mo.re
salads.


Across America, more than
$4,000 worth of property is set on
fire every minute, making arson


salad, Southern-style


one of the costliest crimes facing
the nation today. But that's just
part of the.cost. ,

"In addition to costing the
state nearly $30 million in prop-
erty losses last year, arson fires
killed 150 Floridians," said Bill
Nelson, State Treasurer an Fire
Marshal. 'Those tragedies mark
arson as a deadly crime that we
must all take steps to fight in eve-
ry way we can."
The first week of May was
designated National Arson Aware-
ness Week to raise Americans'
consciousness and enlist their ef-
forts in the fight against arson.
Motives for. arson vary widely
but include vandalism, revenge
and greed. Nelson urges citizens
to contact their local fire or police
department if they know or sus-
pect that an arson crime has
been committed. Citizens should
also report any suspicious activi-
ty near a house or other building
to the police and support Neigh-
borhood Watch programs. Nelson
offered other steps that should be
taken:
-Keep leaves, firewood or
other combustibles away from
buildings. A vandal may see a
stack of firewood against a house
or garage as an invitation to start
a fire.
-Keep doors and windows
locked when a building is unoc-
cupied.
-Take keys away from em-
ployees who leave the company. A
disgruntled former worker with
access to the building could de-
stroy a business.
-Take safety measures such
as installing a burglar alarm and
sprinkler systems.
As State Fire Marshal, Nelson
directs the Bureau of Fire and Ar-
son Investigations under the Divi-
sion of State Fire Marshal. Last
year, investigators with the bu-
reau investigated a total of 3,698
fires throughout the state, arrest-
ing or assisting in the arrest of
464 suspects.

PAGE 4B THE STAR, PORT ST. JOE, FL THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1995


U. S. High Court Is A

Threat to Districts

Drawn to Favor Blacks

Most Florida Black Legislators Come
from Districts with White Majorities
As the U. S. Supreme Court considers doing ,away with those
odd-shaped voting districts designed to elect blacks, some encouraging
facts should be noted in the sunshine state.
Only one of Florida's five black state senators has a black majority
district. White voters have a small majority in three of the districts
where blacks were elected and in one district in Miami, black
Democratic Sen. Darryl Jones was elected from a 60 percent white
district.
In the Florida House, which has 15 black representatives, black
voters are in the majority in nine of the districts. White voters make up
73 percent of Gainesville Democrat Cynthia Chestnut's district, 62
percent of Rep. Larcenia Bullard's Miami district, and 55 percent of
Rep. Muriel Dawson's Fort Lauderdale district.
A phenomenon this column has remarked on L.fore is that the gain
in total number of blacks elected (three in the Senate and four in the
House) came at the; expense of former Democratic incumbents. The
1992 redistricting to benefit blacks injured the Democratic party and
helped the Republicans. Combined with the conservative trend of the
times and, of course, the growing number of Republicans coming to
Florida, it created the first Republican Florida Senate in more than 100
years.
The sad part is- that black folk especially black politicians have
lost influence in the political process because they were segregated into
black districts. Republicans not only got elected easier because blacks
are traditionally Democrats they don't have to court blacks on the issue
either.
The U. S. Supreme Court appears likely in the next several weeks to
knock-down those bizarre districts that look like a spider web thrown
across a map. In Florida, that means two districts are in Jeopardy: U. S.
Rep. Corrine Brown's district stretching out of Jacksonville and State
Sen. Jim Hargrett's district out of Tampa. Both Democrats, of course.
The supreme court also may do something drastic about affirmative
action. programs that seem to have run their course in the U. S. and
may be relegated to a place in history.
It appears to be growing up time for some black citizens and it is
difficult.
Me and Uncle Clem Rednek over on Flat Creek in Gadsden Coutnty
aren't suggesting Florida has suddenly become color blind. We aren't
making any patronizing statements that some of our best friends are
black either, although it may be true.
Our point was best made, perhaps, by white actor Gregory Peck
who looked at a complaining black soldier actor (I think It was Nat King
Cole) in an old Korean War movie named Pork Chop Hill after they had
finished a charge up that bloody hill and said: "Join the club."
It was a classic statement of that period cementing the fact that the
U. S. Army was finally really desegregated.
Me and Clem would say today: "We're all in this together. What's
good for us is good for you too."

Capitol News Round-Up
Florida's court system is about to drop the other shoe on how much
some 650,000 vehicle owners will get back of the $295 illegal impact
registration fee they paid to bring, their cars and trucks into the state.
The state high court last week denied a request for interest on the
money collected in 1991-92-93 before the fee was ruled unconstitution-
al and ordered the lower court to set court costs (including attorney
fees) and get cracking on returning the money.
The next shoe to drop, of course, will be the amount the lawyers,
will be allowed to charge for their successful suit. They asked $51.8
million in interest which was:denied. The lawyer fees and court costs
which the circuit was ordered to set within 3Q days will shrink the
amount payers of the $295 feewill eventually receive. ,. .
CASINOS ROLL 'EM AGAIN. Florida voters can expect to be asked
to approve as many as 20 casinos in hotels and on riverboats across
the state in, the 1996 election. The high court ruled last week the
constitutional amendment proposed by casino interests for the fourth
time meets the clear language and one subject requirements. The voters
have defeated casino proposals by huge majorities in 1994, 1986 and
1978, but gamblers itseems keep on rolling the dice.'
CHILES SIGNED BILLS: Although Gov. Lawton Chiles has
promised to veto the repeal of a law giving him a big advantage in suing
tobacco companies, he signed legislation requiring prisoners to serve 85
percent of their sentences.
It was the opening play in the veto-or-not game that will end at the
end of this week on the deadline Chiles has to sign, veto or let stand
without his signature some 373 bills passed by the Florida Legislature.
The ,85-percent prison sentencing bill was the centerpiece of Chiles'
narrowly defeated opponent Jeb Bush of Miami in the 1994 election.
Chiles- favored a slightly lower percentage. The law requires repeat and
violent criminals to serve 85 percent of their sentence time and imposes
life sentences for the fourth first degree felony conviction.
Attorney General Bob Butterworth asked Chiles to veto the
telecommunications bill that climaxed a huge lobbying effort in
Tallahassee and allows competition for local phone services.
"The consumer has to be protected until there is competition, and I
don't see that protection in this bill," Butterworth said.
.Local telephone,'companies and the cable TV industry favored the
bill while long distance companies, including AT&T, opposed it.
Chiles has threatened to veto the bill although it passed in the
House and Senate with only one nay vote, He hasalso threatened to
veto the entire budget* because, .he said, it stressed prisons over
education.
Legislative observers think he will veto selectively. leaving most of
the laws intact because they were passed by large margins. A veto of
the whole budget would bring Legislators back before July 1 in a
session many members believe would turn into an override session. It
takes a two-thirds vote of both Houses to override a veto, but most of
the bills passed exceeded the needed two-thirds mInajority.
HRS HEAD NAMED: As expected, Gov. Lawton Chiles appointed

ROUND-UP
by Jack Harper

veteran deputy secretary Ed Feaver to fill the post left vacant by Health
and Rehabilitative Services Jim Towey who was not confirmed by the
Florida Senate. Feaver is a 15 year veteran of the department.
NURSING BILLS RISE: Health Care Administration officials say the
bill for a year's stay in a Florida nursing home has climbed to $36,000
in a semi-private room, up 5.3 percent. The average daily charge went
from $94 to $99.
SEA TROUT HEARINGS: Public hearings have been approved by
the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission on a proposal to relieve stress
on the spotted sea trout population with a set of new regulations which
ultimately will have to be approved by the Florida Cabinet.
Dates for the public hearings have not as yet been adopted. The
proposed new rules would:
Ban harvesting in January and February from the Pinellas-Pasco
county line to the Florida-Alabama border, and in November and
December in other state waters.
Require daily recreational bag limits of 8, trout on the coastal
stretch from the Pinellas-Pasco line to the Florida Alabama border and
5 trout elsewhere.
Set 15-inch minimum and 20-inch maximum size allowing only
one fish longer than 20 inches daily.
Allow commercial harvest and sale of sea trout in June, July and
August only, with a 50-fish daily limit, and ban harvesting with gill
nets.
DRUG SWEEP: A statewide drug sweep similar to one earlier this
year aimed at dead beat parents who owed child support resulted in
the arrest of 1,860 people, seizure of $521,360 in cash and drugs with
a street value estimated at more than $28 million.
The task force was coordinated by Leon County Sheriff Eddie. Boone
and Pinellas County Sheriffs Sgt. Bob Diemer.
The two-day bust nabbed 689 pounds of cocaine; 4 pounds of crack
cocaine; 2,482 pounds of Marijuana; and 3 grams of heroin and other
drugs.
Boone said the task force was already organizing its next statewide
effort, but.he didn't mention the target.

Sr. Citizens Oppose Reduction In


Medicare To Help Balance Budget.


WI -.H' I -
S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Talent Expo
,r '*-"'-/ J l.^'..


S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Talent Expo


A new poll released June 9 by
the American Association of Re-
tired Persons (AARP) shows Amer-
icans overwhelmingly support
Medicare, and strong majorities
of all age groups oppose major
cuts to the program to balance
the federal budget by the year
2002.
"These results send a clear
message to Congress and the Ad-
ministration," said AARP Legisla-
tive Director John Rother. "Nearly
75 percent of all Americans op-
pose cutting Medicare substan-
tially in order to balance the bud-
get. Balancing the budget on the
backs of our health care system,
the elderly and disabled will not
be tolerated."
"Americans of all political per-
suasions are saying to Congress,
Be. careful. Don't try to cut too
much too soon," Rother said.
The poll found that Ameri-
cans do not want Medicare,bene-
ficiaries to pay more out of their


own pockets for medical costs.
According to the survey, more
than two-thirds voiced opposition.
to reduction in Medicare spend-
ing if It meant higher out-of-
pocket costs for Medicare benefi-
ciaries.
"More than two-thirds of
Americans do not want Medicare
beneficiaries to pay $1,500 to
$2,000 annually above what they
currently pay for premiums, de-
ductibles and coinsurance," Roth-
er said.
An analysis prepared by
AARP this May showed that Indi-
vidual out-of-pocket expenses for
Medicare beneficiaries could in-
crease by $3,500 over the next
seven years under the House
budget plan.
The time frame of the pro-
posed cuts also concerns most
Americans.
"Most don't understand the'
rationale of a seven year dead-
line," Rother said. "More than


three-quarters of those polled
wondered, 'Why the hurry?' and
prefer a longer-range plan. We be-
lieve that is a valued concern our
lawmakers should address."
"Medicare is an important
program for the family, not just
the elderly," commented Rother.
"It keeps beneficiaries indepen-
dent so young families don't have
to shoulder the bills of their par-
ents and grandparents. And, be-
cause of this, it's a program most
people want protected."
The Medicare poll was con-
ducted May 5-14 by ICR Survey
Research and is based on find-
ings from national telephone sur-
vey of a random sample of 1,286
adults aged 18 and older.
AARP is the nation's leading
organization for people 50 and
older. It serves their needs and
interests through legislative advo-
cacy, research, informative pro-
grams and community services


awarded certificates for the dis-
play of their talent. In presenting
their talent, the youth were
judged on their attitude, behav-
ior, conduct and originality of
their performance.
This youth talent expo was
the first of a series .of talent expos
to be presented by the club. Oth-
ers wilblbe announce, at a later
date.
