Panhandle Gets 70 Days




To Complete Paving Work


It appears the Gulf County
Commission and Panhandle
Grading and Paving Company
have come to terms over granting
the firm an extension to complete
the county's $2.5 million road
bond issue.
The board voted 4-I
(Commissioner Michael Ham-
mond opposed) to grant
Panhandle a 70 day extension to
* complete the contract which
expired September 4th.
Panhandle's Vice-President
Larry Long approached the board
September 3 requesting the 70
day extension during a special
meeting to address the Issue.
Long said he felt his firm could
complete the work in the time
frame requested, citing several
factors that had hampered their
progress.
The board countered with an
offer of a 35 day extension at the
end of which paving progress
would be evaluated to determine
further extension or consider ter-
mination of the contract based ,on
the work progress.
At that time the board had
calculated 24% of the paving work
had been completed but during
Tuesday's evening, meeting they
noted that considerable progress
had been made both in the quali-
ty and quantity of paving.
Commissioner Warren Yeager'
made the motion to grant the 70
day extension based on the con-
tractor's work improvement and
promise to' have the work com-
pleted in the allotted time frame.
Commissioner Nathan Peters. Jr.
asked Long If he felt there would
be any problem completing the
work in the extended time. Long
said he felt;tei work will-be comrn-
4 pleted in accordance to the new
schedule.
INSURANCE
The board unanimously
agreed on a recommendation from
the insurance committee to
accept bids totalling $193,851.56
for the county's 1996-97 Insur-
ance coverage.
Chief Administrator Don
Butler presented the three part
proposal to the board noting a


savings of slightly more than
$9,000 under the 1995-96 insur-
ance cost
Pat Thomas and Associates.
Inc. (associated with Hannon
Insurance Agency of Port St. Joe)
was awarded the county's work-
man's compensation package at a
low bid of $119.762.00. Gaskin-
Graddy Insurance Agency will
cover the courthouse building
and contents with a low bid of
$9,549.56.
Ten other areas of insurance
ranging from general liability to
bond insurance will be furnished
by the Florida League of Cities at
a cost of $64,640.
BEACH WATER SYSTEM
The SL Joe Beach water sys-
tem improvements should be
100% on-line no later than
October Ist, according to Gulf
County Chief Administrator Don
Butler. $225,000 worth of
Improvements are being made to'
the system, including a water
storage tank and hydropneumatic
pumping system, which will'
Increase and stabilize water pres-
sure and volume throughout the
system.
Butler also told the board
that tie-in is scheduled to take
place between 12:00 midnight
and 4 a.m. September 13. The
contractor (Southeastern Me-
chanical Contractors) will connect
the plant's water pipes to the
existing system and begin "check-
ing out" the new equipment.
GENERATOR BACK IN SERVICE
Larry Wells, Emergency
Management Director, told the
board that the county's emer-
gency generating system was
-back'onrr-ine-after severa-inoh ths
of trying to get the system fixed.
Wells said courthouse mainte-
nance men had run the unit
under a load for almost an hour
over the weekend tuning it up.
The unit had been down
because a needed part was no
longer available and had to be
made by the manufacturer to fix
it .
Concerned about the future
reliability of the aging generator,


the board approved the purchase
of a new generator during their
last meeting. Higgins Electric. Inc.
of Dothan. Alabama was awarded
the low bid at a cost of
$55,682.00, but It will be 10
weeks until the new unit arrives.
Wells gave the board more
good news concerning the new
emergency generating system.
explaining that the state has
decided to let the county use
approximately $20,000 of Emer-
gency Management funds to help
purchase the unit.

Veterans Looking Here


Site Selection Committee Looks at 12-Acre Tract
For Possible Future Site of Veterans Nursing Home


Officials with the Florida
Department of Veteran Affairs site
selection committee paid a visit to
Gulf County Tuesday morning
evaluating Gulf County's pro-
posed site offer for the construc-
tion of a new Veterans Nursing
Home in Florida.
Gulf County Veterans Service
Officer Bo Williams had Informed
the Board of County Commis-
sioners of the nursing home site
S gftleiU0Qip1ro.ess approximately a
-month ago seeking their support
to submit a site application to the
state.
Tuesday's meeting with the
site selection committee was the
result ",of his, Gulf County
Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director Tamara Laine, and other
county officials' application effort.
The four member group
arrived in Port St. Joe at approxi-
mately 11:30 and literally stepped


out of the van onto the "red car-
pet" laid out on the 12-acre pro-


ability of work force, and building

before making a site recommen-

8th, according to site committee
chairman, Ron Frankel.
Frankel told those present for
the.visit that his committee would
send a list of five recommended
sites to the governor and cabinet
ranked in order of their prefer-
ence, from which a final site
would be selected.
In all, approximately 20 coun-
ty officials and service providers
were on hand to answer questions
concerning everything from power

and emergency services support,

Williams told the group that
Gulf County was centrally locat-
ed, with 64,800 veterans living
within a 75-mile radius of the
county. He noted that while Gulf
County might be a'small county,
it could offer everything the nurs-
ing home might need to be suc-
cessful.
If Gulf should be chosen as
the nursing home site, it would
mean a total of 123 jobs for the
county, many of which would be
for professional services.
Construction of the 11 million
dollar facility should begin next
summer, according to Frankel.
The committee also looked
over an alternate site near where
the Gulf Coast Community
College branch campus is going to
be built at the intersection of
Highway 98 and Garrison Avenue.

ment in the seaport industry is highly worth-

economy and the generation of jobs.
The largest of the grants, naturally, went to
the largest ports. A total of 12 port grants were
approved within the state, including the $3 mil-
lion to Port St. Joe.


A new bulkhead is an integral part of a
new port. This old one is in need of serious

Backsliding

GULF COUNTY HAS DisarNfiiLY lost its championship.
We're writing about the championship we once held as the
county which sent the largest percentage of its registered voters
to the polls. We held the state championship at one time, you
know. We sent, regularly, 70 to 75% of our. electors to the polls
each voting day. We sent close to that amount, but not quite in
numbers which would measure up to past performance, last
Tuesday.
There were 59% of the county's registered voters which were
recorded as having voted in the first primary. This isn't any pal-
try number to be sneezed at, but neither does it give us cause to
brag, as once was the case.
WHAT'S THE REASON for backsliding in our numbers of ac-
tive voters?
Was it for lack of interest? We hardly see how it could be,
what with the large number of candidates seeking office and the
interest generated by a few contests, such as the Sheriffs race,
the Superintendent of Schools, the Property Appraiser. All of
these were high profile officers with serious salaries involved.
They were offices worth fighting hard for, and they were fought
,hard for. ,,
WAS IT APATHY, OR are the voter rolls just too easy to be-
come a part of, what with the Motor Voter law which is currently
in effect? Now, anybody who is warm can register to vote. On the
face of it, that seems to be the way to go, but if a good number of
those registered are not going to take advantage of their "right"
to express their opinion, which could be worse, not having the
privilege of being able to vote, or just plain not exercising that
right?
There were plainly enough people, registered to vote, who
failed to cast their ballot, to defeat any successful candidate, or
elect any unsuccessful one.
We don't think that should be.
At least, with the provision of the poll tax being in force, peo-
ple voted! We're not advocating a return to those days; we're
merely making an observation. If having the privilege to vote
wasn't made so easy-even almost forced upon us-we might
look more favorably at this privilege and responsibility.


A Generous Offer

WE AGREE THAT PANHANDLE Grading and Paving compa-
ny has had ample opportunity to complete their paving venture
in Gulf County. It seems to us that six months is long enough to
give a reputable paving firm to do a $3 million job. A $3 million
job isn't all that large, even though it seems large to us here in
the county.
And to have only 24% of the entire project finished, at the
end of the contract's duration, is a little bit much for the County
Commission to accept, with all good conscience.
The commission was more than generous with its extension
offer, in our opinion. Giving a 35 day extension and taking an-
other look atthe situation before allowing even more time is
bending over backwards t be air, in our opinion.
THEN, COMES THE ATTITUDE of Panhandle's vice presi-
dent, Jerry Long, in which he would not give an answer whether
or -not to accept the extension until he "looks over the agree-
ment" before accepting. Sort of looks as if he is looking a gift
horse in the mouth.
What does he expect, anyhow? Does he expect the county to
allow him to work at his own pace? What does he think a con-
tract is for? It's for pinning down not only a price, but a delivery
date, as well. At Panhandle's present pace, it will take two years
to finish Gulf County's little paving job.
WE ADMIRE THE COUNTY'S restraint in dealing with Pan-
handle.and .its pace of paving. Most counties would have termi-
nated the contact on the spot, citing performance as the accept-
able reason.
Just what is Panhandle waiting for? At this rate and' at this
size job, the firm will be hard-pressed to make any profit. Or is
that why we can't get our paving completed? Is Panhandle work-
ing on too many jobs at the same time to the point where they
don't have time to do them?
Whatever the reason, the County Commission should hold
their feet to the fire, insisting they complete the job, post-haste!
And our advice to Panhandle Paving is to grasp the reprieve
offered them, eagerly, and start performing. Our patience will
not last forever.,


Hunker Down with Kes


by Kesley


Colbertl


Foiled Again!


If I'd had any clue I was going
to be writing these little blurbs
thirty years ago I'd a' paid better
attention to what was going on
around me. Lyndon B. Johnson,
the 36th President of the United
States, spoke in Memphis in
1964. ..... or maybe it was 1965'
..... see what I mean?
I know I was in high school
and had never seen a real live
president before. 'Course, come to
think of it, I had never been to
Memphis, but I 'couldn't let a
chance like this slip through my
hands. I hurried out to the Tri-
County Stockyards before day-
light and caught a ride with
James Harold Bomar in his cattle
truck. I remember as part of the
dea~ I had to help load the ani-
mals. I tell you what, a lot of
those cows didn't want to get in
that truck! I think it was too early
for some of them. James Harold
had an electric stick that would
get the sleep out of their eyes


"Mr. James Harold, what is
Memphis like?"
"Big, -and tall. They've got
buildings higher than those
trees." He nodded toward a stand
of pines that lined State Road 79
just south of Humboldt.
I fell silent and pondered on
what Memphis would be like. Dad
had warned me that James Har-
old could "stretch things a' mite."
I began to work on what I would
say if I got a chance to speak to
the President.
"Mr. James Harold, if Mem-
phis is so big how will we find
him?"
"We'll get on Union Avenue.
Sooner or later Union goes past
everything in town."
Folks, James Harold was ab-
solutely correct about those tall
buildings and I figure he was
right on about Union Avenue
'cause just as soon as we turned
on to it everyone else in Memphis
did tool We got to moving so slow
I began to smell those cows. The
closer we crept toward downtown,
the more cars piled onto Union.
I'd never seen anything like it.
And there were policemen on eve-
ry corner


"Mr. James Harold. we must
be getting clos-"
Close was as near as we
came. The very next block one of
those policemen stopped us and
said we'd have to turn off Union
and go back, "The President is
downtown, we can't let any big
trucks like this through. It will
cause traffic to back up."
We turned around but not
before Mr. James Harold told that
big policeman what he could do
with the traffic. the tall buildings,
Elvis, and the President of the
United States.
We unloaded those cows out
near Germantown in silence.
James Harold was still mad and I
was too disappointed to talk. It
was a long, long ride home. He
tried to cheer me up as he pulled
up to our house, "You're young
Kes, more 'n' likely you'll get an-
other chance. .
In the spring of 1968 I was
strolling out the back of the gym-
nasium on the campus of Vander-
bilt University and I ran right Into
Barry Goldwater. I was heading
for the baseball field. He was
heading for his party's nomina-
tion for president of the United


States. He smiled and nodded
and half spoke as he passed. I
couldn't think of nothing to say to
him. We lost to Vanderbilt, Gold-
water lost to Nixon and I still
hadn't seen a president "up close
and personal".
The next year I was driving
Sandra Mobley back to school in
Cookville. I can't remember how
or why I was hooked up with San-
dra-but we were cruising along
1-40 just east of Nashville when
we ran into one lane, police-
every-where-directed-traffic.
Sandra stuck her' head out
the window and yelled, "What's
the hold up here"
"President Nixon is dedicating
the new dam on Percy Priest
Lake."
"Well, who gives a flying
hopt Get these people out of our
way--" ,. ,
"Shut .up, Sandra!" I cut
across two lanes and knocked
down a barricade. "We're getting
off at the next exit. I missed my
chance in Memphis but this
time-"
The exit was closed And the

All the Candidates Put a Lot of Hard Work Into Their Campaign


DID THE ELECTION go to,

I bothered to cast my vote. Win,

plauding what. is .right. in our

ETAOIN SHRDLU


By Wesley Ramsey


I WISH THE best of luck to
be with those in the second pri-
mary and subsequent general
election. Every one-from the
ones who failed to make it to the
ones who did-worked like a tro-
jan trying to influence the electo-
rate in their favor. Not a slacker
in the bunch.
I don't know whether I still
possess the energy to put that
kind of effort into trying to get
elected, or anything else, for that
matter.
As one candidate put it,
'There's a lot of houses in this
county and they are scattered
from here to kingdom come" It


takes a great deal of effort to visit
them all. Many of the candidates
made the effort to see them all
while some just worked the areas
they felt they were needed most,
because of a lack of time.
I didn't hear of too many be-,
ing bitten by dogs; a usual com-
plaint of the door to door people.
Of course some felt threatened,
but very few actually suffered
from dog bites. Being bitten by
someone's large, aggressive pet is
a heck of a price to pay for a vote.

THEN, OF COURSE, there's
always what has become my fa-
vorite election campaign story. It
has to do with the late Coleman,


Tharpe, a good and humble man
who ran for Gulf County Commis-
sion a couple of times before he
was finally successful in getting
elected.
Coleman was campaigning
up to the north of Wewahitchka
one day--candidates ran county-
wide in those days-and it was a
particularly hot and sweltering
summer day. Coleman was the
type of man who would have be-
come in this sort of humanitarian
activity, even If he didn't happen
to be running for office at the
time.
The candidate came upon an
elderly man and his wife hauling
a load of pulpwood to the paper
mill. People hauled what is
known as "short wood" to the mill
back then, and the elderly couple
had their truck loaded down.
The truck had a flat and was
parked beside the road, disabled
by this flat.
Coleman happened along and
stopped his pick-up truck and
hailed the elderly couple, ac-


knowledging their need for some
assistance.
"Here, let me help you," he of-
fered.

HE HELPED UNLOAD the
truck, take off the flat tire and
put on a spare the couple hap-
pened to be carrying. In a couple
of hours of laboring under the
broiling sun, Coleman had the
couple fixed up and ready to go
again.
The couple expressed their
thanks profusely for Coleman's
help.
Coleman then set out to test
the couple's gratitude and said,
"I'm Coleman Tharpe, and I'm
running for the office of County
Commissioner in the election
which is coming up in a few days.
I would appreciate any help you
could give me."
The man replied, "Oh Mr.
Tharpe, we'd both be glad to help
you by voting for you in the elec-
tion, but we live in Calhoun


County and can't vote in Gulf
County!"
Well, it is reported that Cole-
man's lower jaw dropped down to
his feet.
As I said before, Coleman was
the type man who would have
helped an elderly couple out of
their predicament, no matter
what it took, but he was no doubt
a might disappointed over the
turn of events, as they turned
out.

I SUPPOSE MORE than a few
candidates in the present elec-
tion, though they didn't have to
change any pulpwood truck tires,
probably did other things with
the thought in mind of having a
vote or two sewed up because of
their activities, only to be disap-
pointed by the turn of events.
Those who were successful
didn't necessarily work harder
than those who didn't win, but
their campaign circumstances
just didn't pan out.

Ames Gives Rotarians Overview of Paper Mill Situation


Says New Florida Coast Paper Company, L.L.C. is Starting Out Life With a Huge Burden


'We owe a heck of a lot of
.money for the purchase of the
:mill. The former owners, St. Joe
,Paper Company, didn't owe any,"
*Jack Ames, president of the cor-
poration which was formed to
purchase the paper mill's assets,
told the Rotary Club last Thurs-
day.
Ames gave an overview of the
pluses and minuses involved in
the recent purchase of the local
business; the chief of which was
the situation he used to lead off
.and introduce the rest of his ex-
planation of the situation the new
firm is involved in.
The mill has the difficulty of
dealing with a tight paper market,
also. 'The market is in a state of
over-production at the present
time," Ames said. "Competition is


tough as well as highly competi-
tive. We must find a combination
of ways to manufacture more
paper, faster, and at less cost, in
order to be successful in compet-
ing with other mills out there," he
said.
The speaker said there have
been no new paper mills built in
a long while, emphasizing the
over-production which exists.
"Competition is becoming
stiffer. Recycle mills which pro-
duce linerboard from scrap boxes
are becoming more numerous,
and they come on line at 25% of
the costs of a virgin paper mill,"
Ames pointed out.
'We secured a mill which
would cost $600 million to dupli-
cate today for around $200 mil-
lion, so we have something going


for us," he said. "Although there
have been no new mills built in a
long while, it is liable to be just
as long before any new mills are
built, so we have something
unique."
The speaker said a new mill
being built today would need at
least two years, just to secure the
necessary permits for construc-
tion.
ALL IS NOT GLOOM
Ames pointed out that all was
not on the difficult side of the led-
ger. 'We secured a good mill here.
It has kept up with the latest eco-
logical 'and environment require-
ments," Ames said, intimating
that the mill was in good, opera-
ble shape which they wouldn't
have to spend a lot of money on
bringing it up to date.


Too, the mill is capable of
more tonnage from the same ma-
chines already in place.
"All the support machinery is
capable of more production, and
that is a definite plus," Ames
said. "But let's not forget that la-
bor is going to be responsible for
our making it and making our
payments on this huge debt," he
added.
The speaker said the new
management has maintained em-
ployer benefits and recognized
the present operating unions.
'With the manner in which we
bought the mill, we didn't have to
do this," he pointed out.
'We knew such a change in
ownership could be accepted or it
could be rejected by the operating
personnel. Frankly, the rejection


is not as much as we expected,"
he stated.
Ames said a virgin mill, such
as Florida Coast Paper, has an
advantage going for it as well as
against it. 'The use of virgin wood
to make paper has distinct ad-
vantages over a recycle mill, al-
though the recycle mill operates
cheaper, being a virgin mill gives
us an advantage in the export
market, and we're going to ex-
plore gaining more of this mar-
ket," he said.
WHAT WE HAVE
Ames gave a few statistics,
pointing out what the community
has in the location of the paper
mill here.
The operation puts some $16
to $17 million a month into the
area economy. It employees 630


of Debt
persons, purchases $16 million
worth of wood each year, it has a
direct payroll of $27 million an-
nually, employee benefits tacks
on another $10 million. The mill
pays $4 million in property taxes
per year._
The sale, back in May,
brought together a partnership of
Stone Container and 4M Corpora-
tion. Stone container is one of the
nation's largest paper and con-
tainer manufacturers in the na-
tion, with 20 paper mills and 60
container plants. 4M is individu-
ally owned and started from
scratch a few years ago in the
owner's garage. It first manufac-
tured dividers which go into box-
es, only. Today-before the pur-
chase of St. Joe Paper-it
operated four container plants.

Note Of

Appreciation
This Is a note of appreciation
for the many friends of Scott
,Dixon who responded to help him
when he was so sick. Also, the law:
enforcement of Mexico Beach was
so helpful when I needed their
assistance. Your kind deeds, your
many ways of showing you cared
for him at the time of his death
will long be remembered.
As I cared for him for eight
years while he was sick, it Is such
a wonderful feeling to know, you
were there when I needed you to
help me with him. I do thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
With Love,
Mary Zagorski

Charlie Smith, the owner of

which came as a result of a lot of

to Everyone About Back Pain

When most people experience back pain the majority of complaints are related to the low back region. Studies have shown that
80% of the population will experience some kind of back pain in their lifetime, Studies additionally have shown that of the three
(3) anatomical regions (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar), the lumbar region is the area in which most of the problems occur.
Some of the most common medical diagnoses related to the low back problems are: 1. muscle strain, 2. ligament sprain, 3.
degenerative joint disease, 4. bulging disc, or 5. ruptured disc. These are a few examples which you may have heard of or have
experienced yourself which cause pain and or debilitates in an individual. Where .do these problems come from and how do
they start? Some problems come from the aging process i.e, Degenerative Joint Disease. Other problems arise from trauma
i.e., falling or possibly a motor vehicle accident. The majority of low back problems usually come from lifting objects or twisting
to reach for an object and not using proper body mechanics. Most back problems don't just appear; stress and strains wear on
the body creating a weak area and allow for the onset of pain or dysfunction to occur at any time.
Just as location. location, location is the success for a real estate developer or buyer; so is Body mechanics. ~Qdy mechanics.
Body mechanics to keeping the low back from having significant problems.
Here are a few tips to follow which will help keep your back healthy;
1. Hold objects close to your waist and at waist level when lifting and carrying them.
2. If you have to turn to put the object down, "DONT TWIST!" Turn your feet in the direction you want to go and then place
object down. Twisting puts unnecessary torque on y6ur back and can cause pain / back injury.
3. When lifting heavy objects from the floor squat down and lift with your legs, not your back.
S4. Push instead of pull on object, if appropriate.
5. Always get help if the object is too big to, be lifted by one (1) person.

Your local Physical Therapisj can assist you withfurther education with back care and lifting techniques.

A Great Big Thanks to Mary :
Ellen Gortman
A special thanks to Mary Ellen
Gortman for her help she gave me
while I-was working on my tractor a
couple of weeks ago.
I was trying very hard to raise my
bush hog by hand to replace a bolt I had
lost. Mrs. Gortman said move back and
let me fix it. She placed a-house block
next to the back of the bush hog and
placed a 2x4 under it and stood on it,
lifting it so I could place the bolt in
place. With her hands greasy, she told
me to rest in the shade a little while
before continuing my work.
You know, I heard Mrs. Gortman
could do almost anything she put her
mind to. Now I believe it.
Thanksagain. -

This Week's Area

Fishing Report
For September 1 8
Bottom fishing for grouper
and snapper was excellent and
the weather was super nicel A few
large grouper, 30 to 50 pounds,
were brought to the dock.
Also, some nice' wahoo, dol-
phin, kings., and blackfln tuna
were caught offshore. In shore,
trolling for kings was spotty but
improved as the weekend arrived.
Spanish fishing is still producing
good catches of extra large fish as
well as .a few dolphin.
Speckled trout and flounder
fishing in the bay has really come
on nor that scallop season has
closed. There are schools of large
redfish feeding along the beaches
and in the shallow channels in
the head of the bay.
Remember Safety First!
For some boaters, the same
sad scene has repeated itself over
and over, sometimes with tragic
results. Before leaving the landing
or dock on your boat, make a
safety check list and don't go until
all items are present.
Those include a working
radio, life preservers, anchor with
plenty of line, flares, first aid kit,
and plenty of water or other
drinks. Last, but most important,
don't overload a boat with too
many people.
Good fishing-and may your
catches be keepers.

Lower Jaw


^ Out of Service


You use your lower jaw
probably hundreds of times a
day without even thinking about
it. It's one of the most natural
and easiest movements in the
world when it's in proper bal-
ance and not causing any pain
or discomfort because of tem-
peromandibular joint problems.
Your temperomandibular
joints are located on each side
of your head, just internal and in
front of your ear openings, and
are connected to your lower jaw.
You use your lower jaw, for ex-
ample, whenever your chew,
talk, yawn, swallow, sing, whis-
tle, etc. It may surprise you to
learn that your upper jaw does
not move at all. It is fused to the


skull.
The muscles in the upper
and lower jaws that you use for
chewing all act together to help
hold the lower jaw in proper rela-
tion to the upper jaw. But prob-
lems with the temperomandibu-
lar joints can throw your lower
jawbone out of balance, bringing
pain and discomfort when you
open and close your mouth.
When this happens, you should
seek your dentist's help as soon
as possible.

Prepared as a public ser-
vice to promote better dental
health. From the office of

fowl hunters the extra five-day
season that includes wood ducks.
It doesn't come without work on
the part of game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission wildlife biolo-
gists.'
Diane Eggeman, GFC water-
fowl biologist, said thousands of
wood ducks have been captured
by biologists since the early 1980s
and banded to keep track of sur-


vival and hunting pressures.
Banding is just one part of the
commission's program to monitor
Florida's resident wood ducks.
Both blue-winged and green-
winged teal reproduce in the
northern United States and there
are large numbers of both
species. "This season's wood duck
number should be about average,
or similar to what they've been
over the past couple of years,"
Eggeman said.
The early duck season is set
for September 21-25. The early
season daily bag limit is any com-


bination' of four teal or wood
ducks. Nontoxic shot is required
during this season.
The first phase of the
statewide doy e season is October-
5-28 (shooting hours are from
noon to sunset). The second and
third phases are November 16-
December 1, and December 14-;
January 12. Hunters may take up
to 12 birds daily. However, only
four birds may be white-winged
doves. The possession limit Is 24
birds, and only eight may be'
white-winged doves.
For taking migratory game


birds, hunters may use shotguns
'not larger than 10-gauge, plugged
to a three-shell capacity with a
one-piece filler which cannot be
,removed- without disassembling
the gun. Also, long and compound
tbows and arrows, falconry, dogs,
artificial decoys and manual or
mouth-operated bird calls are
-legal hunting methods for migra-
'tory bird hunting.
It is illegal to bait (place feed
such as corn, wheat, salt or other
feed to constitute a lure or entice-
ment) or shoot over any baited
areas.

FMP Charges Trio With Felony Littering Thanks Thanks Thanks

Two St. Joe Beach Men, One From Mexico Beach, Cited For Dumping On Private Property


According to a press release
from the Florida Marine Patrol,
two St. Joe Beach men and one
Mexico Beach man have been
recently charged with felony litter-
ing. These charges stem from an
investigation started when
numerous piles of debris were
located in woods off Highway 98
between St. Joe Beach and
Highland View in .Gulf County.
This land was found to be owned
by a local paper mill and permis-
sion hadn't been granted for the
illegal disposal.
Charles David Tlpton, 56, of
St. Joe Beach with sons, Bobby
Lynn Tipton, 26, also. of St. Joe
Beach, .and Charles Birdette
Tipton, 35, of Mexico Beach have
each been charged with one felony

Nat'l Flood Insurance
Available To Property
Owners and Renters
With hurricane season not
over until November 1, officials of
"the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency (FEMA) encourage
renters and property owners-
especially those in Atlantic and
Gulf Coast states-to purchase
flood Insurance policies now to
provide financial protection. from
floodwaters and storm, surge.
"Buying flood Insurance is
one of the most important things
anyone can do to help'themselves
recover from a flood' disaster,"
FEMA Director James Lee Witt
said. "Recent changes in the law
allow us to make sure that more
people have this coverage and
keep it." '
The National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), administered by
FEMA, makes federally-backed
flood insurance available in com-
munities that adopt and enforce
floodplain management ordi-
nances to reduce future flood
damage.
Currently, nearly 3.4 million
NFIP policies representing over
$330 billion worth of coverage are
in force in more than 18,000 par-
ticipating communities. Flood
insurance may be purchased
from insurance companies and
licensed insurance agents, the
same ones that sell homeowners
or automobile coverage.
"Flood losses are not covered
by homeowner's or -business
insurance policies," Witt said.
"This -coverage must' be pur-
chased separately, and is avail-
able only in communities that
participate in the NFIP. And peo-
ple need to keep in. mind that
there is a 30-day waiting period.
before a new flood insurance poli-
cy becomes effective."
For a single-family home, the'
maximum coverage amounts are
$250,000 for the structure and
$100,000 for its contents.
Maximum coverages for business-
es are $500,000 for buildings and
$500,000 for contents.
There are two important
exceptions to the 30-day waiting
period. First, there 16 no waiting
period following the initial pur-
chase of flood insurance when
that purchase is in connection
with making, increasing, extend-
ing or renewing a mortgage or
construction loan; the policy will
become effective upon loan clos-
ing.
Further information about
flood insurance, hurricane pre-
paredness and other FEMA pro-
grams is available on FEMA's
Worldwide Web Internet site
(http://www.fema.gov), and 24
hours a day on FEMA's FAX-on-
Demand system by calling (202)

count of littering.
In early January, Charles D.
Tipton, working under the busi-
ness name St. Joe Tree and
Stump Removal, was contracted
by a Mexico Beach property rental
agency to demolish and remove
an old wooden house and a large,
cedar tree located on property
managed by the rental agency.
The work was done by the
Tiptons and debris generated
from the work consisted of large
amounts of wood, roofing shin-
gles, glass, pipe, tree limbs, and
even a sink and toilet. This debris
was then illegally dumped less
than a 1/2 mile of their work site,


Ainslale


even though a licensed dump site
was only five miles away.
Littering is classified as a.
third degree felony if the debris is
a hazardous waste, is more than
100 cubic feet in volume, is more
than 500 pounds in weight, or is
dumped for commercial purposes.'
The maximum sentence for felony
littering is five years In jail and/or
a fine of $5,000.
The Florida Marine Patrol
inherited the responsibility of
conducting environmental inves-
tigations when the Department of
Environmental Regulation
merged with the Department of


Natural Resources to form the
Department of Environmental
Protection. To meet the demands
"of this merger, and the new
responsibilities it has placed on
the Patrol, the Panama City office
established an investigative
squad.
This squad is tasked primari-
ly with the investigation of envi-
ronmental crimes, boating homi-
cides, title frauds involving ves-
sels, and resource related crimes.
The squad works closely with the
Regulatory side of the department
and also the local State Attorney's
office, while conducting investiga-
tions.

The Hydroview lens is made
of two bio-compaUible materials
that are bonded together to

To Whom It May Concern:
It has recently been brought to my attention rumors are circulating
suggesting James A. Williams was forced to, leave the Franklin
County Sheriff's Office. I'd like to take this opportunity to set
the record, straight.

Jimmy Williams faithfully served the Franklin County Sheriff's
Office for eighteen years. He was my Chief Deputy for over seven
years. During this time I can in all honesty say that I did not
have a more faithful, loyal,i dedicated to the service of the
department- employee than Jimmy Williams. He is a knowledgeable,
professional law enforcement officer.
When he decided to resign from this office to return to Gu4.Lf County
to run for the office of Sheriff', we threw'a farewell 'party.,.fbr
him. On February 29, 1996 over 150 people attended. Some from. as
far away- as Crystal River. All came to bid a fine man a fond
farewell and wish him the best of luck i.n the upcoming. election..

Jimmy Williams left this department in good standing. In no way
was he forced to leave. He left of his own accord. If there are
any further questions, please give me a call.

Sincerely,

Navy Petty Officer 3rd class
Henry B. Combs, son of Richard
M. and Cheryl A. Combs of Port
St. Joe, has departed on a four-
!?month South American deploy-
ment aboard the destroyer USS
Moosbrugger.
Combs is one of'more than
"3,',30O sailors aboard the ship which
, departed Mavport as' arL of a four
/; ship U. S. -force to p&rticlpate in
Unitas 37, an exercise involving
'- the'U. S Navy along with .Marine
,and'Coast Guard units and the
nhvies of most South American
Stations. '
The deployment began in
Puerto Rico and circumnavigates
the South American continent,
traveling through the Panama
C* anal and around the horn at the
southern tip of the continent.
During Unitas, the U. S. military
forces and the navies from
Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile,
Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay and
Colombia operate together and
conduct a wide variety of mutual-
ly beneficial exercises. The exer-
cise also promotes the common
bond of friendship between the
Americas and mutual respect
among professional sailors and

Destroyers, like Combs' ship,
have traditionally been the vork-

Annabelle Gaskin Education Fund
The proposal from Sarah


Owens Hammock and Phillip
Gaskin honors their grandmoth-
er, Annabelle Gaskin, a former
third grade teacher at WES, for
her dedication, and untiring
efforts to insure that reading was
and is fundamental in education.
The $50 savings bond will be
given to one student out of each of
the third grade classes at WES
who reads the most books during
the "Book It" program.
Mrs. Gaskin is fondly remem-
bered by her students and espe-
cially her grandchildren, for read-
ing stories aloud. For some, it was
the only time someone made an
effort to read aloud to them.
The savings bonds will be
awarded upon the completion of
the "Book It" program at the end
of the 1996-97 school year. This
award is ongoing and will contin-
ue as long as there is mutual
interest by administrators and
.the school.

Parents, progress reports will
be sent home on Friday,

PROGRESS REPORTS! --
This Friday every student
should bring home his/her 4 1/2
week progress report for each
class taken the first term. Insist
that your student produce these
reports-we'll insist that they sign
the copies so you can see that
they did receive them. Make them
responsible for getting them to
you!
Well, the shouting is all over
and the Sharks, after a first half
scare, pulled out a 21-6 win in a
hard-fought, well-played game.
The Sharks showed superior team
speed and conditioning in the sec-
ond half which, along with their
edge in experience and strength,
wore down the Gators.
The Gators showed an
aggressive running game and
tough defense against the run,
but lack of experience and aggres-
siveness in the secondary hurt
the Gators at crucial times.
A lot of comments after the
game, along with those that
enjoyed the game, centered
around the bands. The Gator
band looked like it will continue
to show well, especially with each
week of practice, and the Shark.
band showed that they are
rebuilding and ready to make
their fans proud after a couple of
slack years. Bands lend a lot to
both programs, so if you are
asked to help, do what you can.
This week, the Gators host
Havana at 7:00 in Wewa. The
Gladiators are huge and fast, so
the Gators will again be facing a
formidable opponent. Pre-sale,
tickets (Adults $3.00 & Students
$2.00), will be sold at the WHS
office, Friday only, until 2:00 p.m.
prices at the gate will be higher
($4.00 & $4.00). If you want to
save money, plan to pre-buy your
tickets at the high school on
Friday mornings. Junior varsity
games will be $3.00 at the gate for
everyone (no pre-sale).

The students collect speci-

sea horses, by boat with a trawl
net and by wading in shallow
water with a beach seine. These
are examined and classified as to
kind and purposes in the food
chain of our local marine life.t
They learn from the FSU instruc-
tors and students how they fit
into the sea's web of existence.
Moreover, the staff endeavors
to make the student aware of the
interdependence of the people in
this area and the sea life of our
estuaries and bays. It was a most
enlightening and enjoyable field
trip.

WES Students
Tour GCI Annex
Fifty-five sixth graders from
Wewahitchka Elementary School
toured the recently completed
west annex of Gulf Correctional
Institution on Wednesday morn-
ing, August 28th. The trip was
arranged and coordinated by the
Wewahitchka Woman's Club.
Students, their teachers and
chaperones, visited the dormito-
ries, the lock-up unit for unruly
inmates, the dining facility, and
the area where visits between
inmates and their families take
place. They met three of the
prison bloodhounds and their
trainers, Sergeant McCorvey and
Officer Semmes.
Major Price and Lieutenant
Potts of GCI were the tour leaders
and relayed to the students many
grim realities of prison life show-
ing them first hand the austerity
of a correctional institution. Other
GCI employees assisting were
Officer Riley and prison chaplain
Michael Lister.
Following the tour, members
of the Woman's Club served
refreshments to the group. Madge
Semmes who arranged the trip
was assisted by club members
"Tweeta" Gaskin and Barbara
Shirley-Scott.
Before returning to their
school, the group viewed a video
entitled "Life on the Inside". This
documentary prepared by the
Department of Corrections was
filmed inside Florida prisons and
features interviews with inmates,
all of whom paint a stark picture
of life behind the razor wire.
Teachers accompanying the
students included Bryan Baxley,
Deborah Baxley, Rebecca
Birmingham, and Sue McDaniel.

make up every situation.
The word of God brings quality to every
church. As Christians, we should read the word
of God daily. A good motto for life is "a better
world begins with me."
I pray for myself that I will strive to be a bet-
ter Christian every day. If I am concerned that
others have Christian growth it would be wrong
to not include myself in this prayer. The church
is the body of Christ and it will grow as Ch ris-
tians live by the Word.

"THE EXCITING PLACE TO WORSHIP"


This column is provided as a service of the Gulf County Guidance Clinic, Inc., a professional counseling
and mental health center. It is not intended to replace psychological counseling or treatment services.


Dear Counselor:
.My child's teacher recently
suggested I get my daughter test-
ed for the "Gifted" program. She
has been doing quite well in
school and the teacher feels she's
not being challenged enough in
her school work. Can you tell me
what a gifted program is and how
it can be of benefit to her?
Signed,
Sissy's Mom
Dear Mom:.
Gifted programs are designed
to allow highly intelligent or cre-
ative students to expand their
learning through extra and more
challenging learning opportuni-
ties. Gifted programs are federal-
ly-mandated and a part of the
Exceptional Student Education
program of all schools. In addition
to her regular schoolwork, your
daughter would be given opportu-
nities within a gifted program to
participate in accelerated classes,
added projects, and field trips for
extra learning experience. Keep in'
mind that these more challenging,
assignments may put more pres-
sure on your child.
Your child's Educational
Placement Committee will take
Into consideration your child's
ability to deal with the extra work.'
YOU are a member of that com-
mittee and your input is welcome
and needed.
i For most students to qualify,
for a gifted program, they, must
have an intelligence quotient (I.Q.)
of 130 or above. For some stu-
dents whose I.Q. is lower, qualifi-
cation is achieved by scoring well
on a creativity test. Be aware that
getting an I.Q. in the 130 and
above range is not common.
Whether or not0your child's I.Q. is
in the, gifted range or not, she
obviously is doing very well in her
studies and should be commend-
ed for that. Being gifted does not
make a child totally different from


set and is non-refundable. Checks should be made
payable to PREBLE-RISH, INC.

NOTICE TO RECEIVE SEALED BIDS
The City ofWewahitchka will accept sealed bids for

other children. They still have the
same problems and many of the
same interests of other children
their age. It does not necessarily
mean they will be highly motivat-
ed or that they will be a "nerd".
'Although it isn't often seen, it is
even possible to be considered
gifted and have a Specific
Learning Disability at the same
time. Gifted children need the
same support and encouragement
as all children. They do NOT need
anyone (including parents, teach-
ers, and classmates) making com-
ments such as, "since you're gift-
ed, you should be able to do this,"
or "let the 'brain' do it." One of the
ways I deal with children I'm
assessing for the gifted program is
to tell them, "We're checking to be
sure you're getting the kinds of
classes you need. We do this with
different children during the year.
I never use the word "gifted"
so they won't be disappointed if
they don't reach the "magic" num-
ber. Ifyou feel good about the pos-
sibility .gf your child having more
opportuniUies, then it is a good
idea to allow the evaluation. If you
would be more comfortable having
a private evaluation, as, opposed
to a school evaluation, our clinic
has a Licensed School Psycho-
logist who could provide this ser-
vice. We can be reached at 227-
1145 to set up an appointment.

The Summer Of Our Discontent


(As Told to Laura Rogers by Savannah)


Laura at Large .
by Laura Rogers
I by -,


Hello, I am one of three feline
goddesses of the Rogers house-
hold. We usually run things, but
last month, things got clearly out
of hand. You see we had to go see
that man again. And we didn't like
it one bit.
This is what happened. We
were all laying around the house,

License/Vehicle
Inspections Set
The Florida Highway Patrol
will be conducting inspection
checkpoints during the week of
September 13 thru 19 at SR-69
near CR-274, CR-22 near CR-
22A, and SR-71 near Chipola
Street.
Recognizing the danger pre-
sented .to the public ;by defective
vehicle equipment, troopers will
concentrate their efforts on vehi-
cles operated with defects such. as
bad brakes, worn tires and defec-
tive lighting equipment. In addi-
tion, attention will be directed to
drivers who would violate the dri-
ver license laws of Florida.
The Patrol has found these
checkpoints to be an effective
means of enforcing the equipment
and driver license laws of Florida
ensuring the protection of all,
motorists.

Then, all of a sudden,

Oh, it was horrible. Then, she left
me in the house and took my two
howling siblings off to parts
unknown.
They were gone for a long
time, but when they came back,
the first thing they did was hiss at
me and take off under the bed.
Later, when they had recovered
their manners, they told me the
horrible details.
They went for their yearly
rabies shot. And the vet, someone
Mommy calls Dr. Nelson, was nice
and stuff, but he insisted on look- '

a needle. Now, they said, if they'd

quite nicely, you understand. And
then, Mommy handed over money
to the lady at the desk while they
were put back into The Box. So

movie when Mommy was young
that said, "Love means, never hav-
ing to show your teeth unless you
want to?"
Well, my time came last week.
My ears were giving me all kinds
of trouble. They always have, but
Mommy would hold me and clean
them out with cotton balls. And
eventually I'd let her pet me again

after that. But this time, they got
worse. And of course, it was right
in between Mommy's paydays.
And this time, I think I was
-, almost glad to go see Dr. Nelson.
He didn't stick me with a shot, or
make me go to sleep and take all
that stuff out that made Tom cats
like me, like he did before. He just
helped my ears to feel better.


Mommy had to pay the people
at the desk again. In fact, she told
me, if I keep having problems,
she's just going to drive by Dr.
Nelson's clinic at regular intervals
and throw folded bills at the door
to keep the account current. Or,
she said, she might ask the doctor
to put up a plaque in her honor,
due to all the times she's dragged


us in. If they do that, I think we
cats have a verse in mind, but it's
not very complimentary.
I mean, we suffer more than
she does. You can always make
more money, but it's very hard to
get your dignity unruffled.
With Many Meows,
Savannah-Cat


Thank You


I would like to thank the wonderful people of
Gulf County for their hospitality and support during
my campaign to be Superintendent of Schools.
My life is much richer for having had the
opportunity to listen to your hopes and dreams for
our children and our community.
May God bless each and everyone of you.
Sincerely,
Loretta Costin
