School Board Has Money Problems

Superintendent Appoints Staff and School Principals for Coming Year
.-, ,' e ,int-- n p p" 'n "s",.,''


Public interest has been espe-
cially piqued this year at the ap-
pointment of personnel to admin-
ister the 'various schools
throughout the county. This has
been brought on by the resigna-
tion of Wes Taylor, Port St. Joe
High School Principal and the an-
nounced pending retirement of'
two other principals.
These matters, along with a
tight budget have caused the Su-
perintendent to take a hard look
at the.admiJnistraUve staff which
Srrigsthe various scholTs on a-
*, day-to-day basis.
At the meeting of the board
Tuesday, Superintendent Kelley
asked for a 24-hour delay in pre-
senting his recommendations. He
listed his appointments at a spe-
cial meeting of the board held
yesterday [Wednesdayl morning.
getting their approval of these ap-
pointments and reassignments of
personnel. ...
Superintendent Kelley also
re-appointed members of his staff
in the board office, as well:
MONEY PROBLEMS
Like the rest of us, the school
board has had the year last long-,
er than its money, it seems. Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
Jerry Kelley said Tuesday that
the system faces about a.
$100,000 deficit this year for vari-
ous reasons. Kelly went further to
say, "At the present level of in-
come and expenditures, the
board can expect nearly a
$500,0,000 shortfall by the end of
next year."
"This isn't an unusual situa-
tion," Kelley went ont to say.
"About seven systems around us
are facing the same situation:
some worse."
"A multitude of things has
* brought this matter on. First, we
have been living on the financial.
edge for the past four or five
years, but something always


came along to bail us ,out," the
Superintendent stated. '"We have
been just been living beyond our
means."
Kelley blamed several situa-
tions for the threatened deficit.
"Most of all, we have had too


many people employed, he said,
'We're taking steps to remedy this
situation by reducing our staff by
seven people-just not filling
some positions and not rehiring
some annual contract teachers.
We are not cutting back at the ex-

Also, Kelley said resignations
>have allowed the board to trim
two administrative positions from
the staff.
Another big cost factor is the
unusually large number of staff
ho have retired over the past
fw years, requesting a buy-out of
their retirement and leave time
built up. This has accounted for a
chunk of the projected deficit.
"Nobody has done anything
wrong, nor mishandled any of the
funds or anything like that," Kel-
- ley said. "It was just caused by a
multitude of unforeseen needs in
the system. We are going to work
toward establishment of a sur-
plus fund to take care of these
sorts of needs in the future. A
surplus, or savings, account is
something we have never had,"'

Four of five Poitt St. Joe city.
commissioners were officially
sworn Into office during ,cere-
monies held during Tuesday

alluding to the economic picture
throughout the county.
He spoke of the challenges
before the board, expressed his
gratitude to Mayor Pate and the'
need for the board to "get the job

Long time commissioner Bill
Wood again thanked Mayor Pate
for his service to the.city. "When
he made a decision, it was for' the
best of the citizens of Port St. Joe.
For 30 years he had a heart for
Port St. Joe,' Wood said about
Pate. He challenged the board to

for the community. '
"There'll never be another
Frank Pate," new mayor Johnny

during his seven years on the

"Clean up the City.," and he reem-
phasized that pledge to all pre-
sent. He said the operation of the
mill would be a main concern of
the board. He also stated his con-
tinued support for the marina
project and downtown revitaliza-
tion, noting .that the boafd,,,tad

During arn interview earlier
Monday, Linton said he had high

Wewa Considering Water/Sewer Extension


The City Commission of We-
wahitchka met in a postponed
meeting Friday, and discussed, an
extension of its water and sewer
system, discussing methods of fi-
nancing.
"Some interest has been ex-
pressed for providing central wa-
ter and sewer services to the Red
Bull Island and Land's Landing
areas of Wewahitchka," Don Min-
chew, city manager said. "The
Commission started dialogue Fri-


day, to discuss the feasibility of
the project and had engineer Phil-
lip Jones of Preble-Rish Engi-
neers present to answer ques-
tions concerning the availability
of grants.
'We had to scale back our
'talking area' right off the bat be-
cause of environmental and his-
torical considerations, so we don't
know how many potential cus-
tomers we are talking about,"
Minchew said. "Right now, we're


thinking abut 100 families in the
Red Bull Island subdivision and
don't really have a feel for the
number in the Land's Landing
area."
All the talk about extending
the systems is all very prelimi-
nary.
The city has water to the city
limits and Old Transfer Road, but
its sewer service doesn't extend
that far.

Storm Season Is Here


HUNKER DOWH WITH KRES BY KESLEY COLBERT:


r i


WE ARE NOW INTO the official hurricane season. The sea-
son isn't a short one. It lasts through November and causes
those of us who have witnessed a comparatively serious one in
the more recent past, an anxious five months.
To top off the reasons for our anxiety, we read last week
about the killer tornadoes out in Texas, just a day after the Me-
morial Day Holiday, which took the lives of a couple of dozen
people with approximately 20 more listed as missing..
All of this to say, simply, there are things worse than hurri-
canes as catastrophic as they can be. Folks from around here
probably remember 'Opal' and the devastation she caused with
the invasion of high water and a high wave action.
THE'SEASON STARTED on June 2, just three days' ago. The
weather service predicts this year will see. an unusually high,
number of storms-including hurricanes. We all hope they don't
strike here again, causing their traumatic damage. We read
where the people down around Homestead are still repairing
damage and getting back to normal from their big blow of several
years ago.
We don't necessarily want to see another here. but we also
hesitate to wish a hurricane off on somebody else just so we
won't have to experience another one again so soon. We must
give our beach area credit, however, they built back bigger and
better than ever, following 'Opal'. The buildings are nicer, more
numerous, more attractive, better constructed, than before.
HURRICANE 'OPAL' DID US appreciable damage to only
buildings within a block of the beach. But it did a number on
those dwellings and commercial locations along the waterfront.
There was hardly a building in this location which escaped dam-
age. If the building was located on a bluff, or built on stilts-
high stilts-it escaped most of the fury thrown against it.
As hurricane season approaches us once more, we all seem
to have forgotten the full fury which struck just two years ago.
We even compare hurricanes to tornadoes and declare we had
rather endure a hurricane, any day.
Both are devastating. A tornado is just a hurricane which is
compressed into an area less than a few hundred yards in
width. Neither are storms which it pays to ignore. Both are dead-
ly and deserve respect.



Wasted Words

A RESIDENT OF THE cape managed to ruffle the feathers of
the County Commission last week with his allegations that
county officials were ignoring a recent agreement with the De-
partment of Environmental Protection for the allowance of beach
driving. The man was off base for bluntly accusing the officials of
such blatant action lor, lack of action] and, we think, two mem-
bers of the county board were off base for suggesting "Ihel go
back where you came from" ... if he didn't like it here.
All of us sometimes feel that way toward our unreasonable
residents, but it isn't polite to say so in a public meeting. The
new resident just doesn't understand how deeply engrained the
privilege of driving on the beach is to local people. It's true. the
new resident at least should have recognized this practice exist-
ed before he purchased his beachfront property and people were
not politely going to stop a practice they had indulged in for
years just because he purchased the property landward of the
beach.
PEOPLE FROM AROUND here have already given up more
privilege for using the beach than they wanted to in the first
place. To suggest that they give up more is only to invite con-
frontation. We might add here that the state of Florida has re-
served that beach-all over the state-for the general public to
own. not just a privileged few, able to purchase the property
which adjoins the beach.
In all likelihood, if the beach resident would seek as hard to
get along with the beach drivers as he is insistent that they bow
to his every wish, everybody would feel and exist together in a
friendlier fashion.
PEOPLE FROM AROUND here are not going to quit driving
on the beach without a heck of a fight. The sooner the "Johnny-
come-lately" resident realizes this the better olT his blood pres-
sure will be.
We don't all drive on the beach, nor do we all "tell off' new-
comers in public. But we all reserve the right to drive on the
beach anytime we want to. We will' bow to the inconvenience of
staying off while the turtles nest, but not for someone who would
monopolize the beach to his own satisfaction.

I remember Charlie Lanford
back in his little league days. He
had all kinds of trouble trying to
hem up a ground ball. And from
his second base position he
couldn't catch a ball hit over his
head in short right.. .day after
day, week after week, year after
year I watched him practice "tak-
ing" ground balls. At age 11 and
13 and 16. when other youths
were cooling it at the beach,
Charlie was working like a man
on those ground balls. He still
had trouble going back on the
flys, but ever so slowly more and


more hops were finding their way
Into his gloved hand.
And just a couple of weeks
ago. In a high school state play-off
game, with everything on the line.
I saw Charlie, back to the infield,
.race down the right field line and
make a running, over the shoul-
der, possibly game-saving catch.

coming in, who might at any sec-

The First Fruit ofMy Tomato Crop is in the Brnn


I HARVESTED THE first of
my tomato crop last Thursday
morning ... all one of it.
As with all first fruits. It
wasn't much to brag about, but I
grew it, nurtured it, fertilized 'it4
watered it and checked its
progress most every day.
My "tomato crop" consists of
five healthy plants, placed in
three buckets of dirt. I: originally
had six, planted two to a bucket,
but one didri't make it. The plants
which did 'make it', however, the
remaining five are very healthy
looking specimens with fine,
healthy stalks and broad deep
green leaves.
If the number of blossoms
which exist on my bushes are any
indication, there are many more
days of harvest to come.
I'm proud of my tomato
patch,' this year. It is the' first
time I have planted in pots with
any appreciable results. Either I
don't make enough vines to sup-
port the fruit, don't water daily to
account for the confined condi-


ETAOIN SHRDLU


tion of the plants or I grow all
plants and not many fruit,

I. MENTION THIS first har-
vest -because I was reminded,
.when I ceremoniously plucked
that first knotty tomato, that a
long time ago I worked in an'agri-
cultural community.
People from that community
went ga-ga over the first crop of
just about anything; from peach-
es to cotton. They grew a fair
amount of both, and when the
first bale of cotton was made or
the first peaches ripened, it was
almost like Christmas around
that town.


By Wesley Ramsey


I worked for 'a little over al
year for small home-town news-'
paper much like The Star used to:
be. A one linotype operation .. .
which the owner couldn't operate.
His name was Cooper Etherldge.'
He was a former FBI agent, and a!
former newspaper reporter whole
had. purchased his home-town.
newspaper which had been in ex-.
istence for more than. 100 years.:
in Perry, Ga.
Cooper. was the youngestt
brother of Jim Etheridge, whoi
managed the Bralley Odum for
Governor campaign back in the
late 40's. Their father, "Mr. Jim'
Etheridge was the former owner!
of a large farmer's warehouse.i


The other farmer's warehouse in
Perry was owned and operated by
former Senator Sam Nun n's fa-
ther. The future Senator was still
in high school, back then.

I TELL YOU THIS to stress
the interest paid to first crops in
the: ,newspaper office back then.
"Mr. Jim" spent his retirement
days hanging out in son Cooper's
newspaper office.
"Mr. Jim's" interest in first
crops was natural, given his
background. and. he imparted
that interest to all of us at the
.newspaper.
When the first, peaches were.
npe. he would always come to the'
office with a peach or two, which
he would ceremoniously peel and
eat,' slowly and deliciously, savor-
ing all the sweetness of the fruit,
making all of us in the office sali-
vate for a delicious peach.
He could eat and enjoy a
peach like nobody I .have ever
seen before or since, You would


think he had been waiting all his
life for just such a delicious piece
of fruit. He would roll each bite
around his tongue, eyes rolling
heavenward, and taste every bit
of the juice as if he wasn't going
-to get another chance to taste an-
other peach. ..
That was just peaches!

THEN CAME THE watermel-
ons!
"Mr. Jim" would take on an
almost holy expression as he
would tell us of his days in the
farmers' warehouse and the out-
landish prices he would pay as a
bonus to the farmer who would
bring in the first watermelon.
All of you readers with a farm
background can relate to that.
The farmers in Perry, Ga., all vied
to be the first one 'in' with any
crop, in order to take advantage
of the bonus. Farmers would
come to town, gently holding their
first cotton blossom, their first
corn tassel, their first canteloupe,


watermelon, peach, or what have
you.
It was competition to them;
competition which meant a pre-
mium in prices; But it was more
than that. It was the reputation
of being first with any particular
crop that year. ,

WELL, I'M NOT first with my
crop of tomatoes, although I have
picked the sum total of one knot-
ty little tomato already this year.
I know there are those out
there who have already picked
some, and have been picking
them for some time, now. My to-
matoes aren't anything special,
except that I prepared the buck-
ets of dirt mixture and I planted
the plants.
There is satisfaction involved
here. The satisfaction of having
grown my own. I know I could
buy them cheaper than I could
grow them, but don't tomatoes
you grow yourself taste g-o-o-b-o-
dl?

STAFF COMPLAINT
Tuesday must have been staff
complaint day for the Gulf
County School Board, as it dealt
with several staff problems at its
regular meeting.
'Jo Hernandez. a teacher at
"Highland View Elementary
School, had been released due to
certificate problems. She and ,a
host of supporters were present
tod ask that she be reinstated to
her position as, fourth grade
teacher at the school.
Hernandez has held a Florida
certificate for a number of years,
during which she had been mar-
ried to a man in the armed forces
and lived in various places. Dur-
ing this time. requirements for a
Florida certificate had been
changed but the state department
had originally told her she was
"grandfathered in".
Hernandez has since been in-
fnrmed by the state that it had
made a mistake and her certifi-
cate would no longer be accepta-
ble. The school board had no
choice but to release her. She has
since been taking courses to meet
certificate requirements, as well
as doing work on her master's de-,
gree. .
The board members were
unanimously in favor of relnstat-
ting her and Superintendent Kel-
ley said he would consider her if
she is recommended by the
school's principal.


Pictured above, the final course of asphalt is being laid on Reid
Avenue by Royal American Construction as part of the downtown
revitalization project.
Project manager George Douglas said the final stages of the road
work will be occurring over the next few weeks. Decorative concrete
road pavers will be poured at all five intersections beginning on the
west side of Reid. Avenue at Fourth Street and working clockwise
from Fourth to First Street, then on the east side back up to Fifth
Street. The pavers are constructed of fiber mesh concrete which has
proven to be stronger than the traditional concrete utilizing under-
laid steel wire.
Douglas said that each of the. intersections would be closed for
approximately four days as the work progressed to allow for the pour-
ing and curing of the concrete. Reid Avenue and all intersections not
being worked upon will be paved during the process.

in Carrabelle.
Now in its ninth season, last
year's tourney drew more than
550 registered anglers, who com-
peted for $30,000 in cash and
prizes in. four major' divisions.
The event generated more than
$31,000' for its three beneficiary
organizations..
Alan Richardson, this year's
tournament director, said orga-
nizers are preparing for another
record turnout.
"We're excited by the pros-
pects of having another great
year," he said. "The 'classic has
become the single most important
annual event not only to the
North Florida's saltwater anglers.,
but to many coastal businesses
in our region as well."
Rithardson said that tourna-
ment Is a region-wide event span-
ning the entire Big Bend Gulf
Coast, from the St. Marks in.
Franklin County to Mexico Beach
in Bay County; Anglers are al-
lowed to leave from any port (or
fish from shore) throughout this


100-mile span, although fish
must be brought to Carrabelle to
be entered.
Presented by Yamaha Marine
Corporation, since 1994 the tour-
nament's title sponsor, and Cobia
Boats, the event features separate
divisions for children, sportsfish-
ermen, professionals and teams.
A flyfishing division, begun in
1994, is an all catch-and-release'
competition in which anglers
bring in photographs instead of
their catches. New for this year
will be a "Billfish Bonus," which
will pay $1,000 cash to the angler
bringing in the .most photos; of
caught (and released) billfish,
specifically sailfish, and marlin.
Throughout the three-day
event will be arts, crafts, and food
booths exhibiting on the marina's
grounds in Carrabelle. Also fea-
tured will be a Saturday fish fry
and a live auction on the Moor-
ings Stage.
Begun in 1989 to raise funds
for artificial-reef construction, an
effort spearheaded in the Big
Bend Gulf area by the Tallahas-
see-based, 'non-profit Organiza-
tion for -Artificial Reefs, Inc., the
tournament now supports two
other nonprofit groups. The Flori-
da Wildlife Federation, a state-
wide conservation group, and The
Dick Howser Center for Child-
hood Services, a service organiza-
tion based in Tallahassee that
serves families with physically
and 'emotionally handicapped
children in a seven county region
in North Florida.

The Game and Fresh Water

ignated June 7 and 8 as Free

"National Fishing Week" June 2.

During the free fishing period,
anyone, including rnon-residents,
can sport-fish in any public fresh-
water lake or river in Florida with-
out a fishing license.
"The' free fishing weekend
provides anglers an opportunity
to experience Florida's extraordi-
nary fisheries," Jerry Shireman,
director of the GFC's Division 2o
Fisheries, said. "It also can serve'
as a reminder to those who,
haven't been. fishing in a while
that it is a healthy, fun, outdoor
experience."
Gov. Lawton Chiles urged,
Floridians :'to participate in the.
free fishing weekend in a procla-.
mation designating June 2'
through 8 "Fishing .Week in:
Florida."
During the free fishing period
all other fishiiig laws and regula-'
tions will remain in effect. A copy'
of the Florida Freshwater Sport
Fishing Guide and Regulations'
Summary is' available free from
any fishing license vendor or GFC'
office.

Legislature authorized the GFC to;
designate two days each year as'
free fishing days. Since then, the
GFC has set aside two days dur-'
ing "National Fishing Week" as a
free fishing weekend.,

If you've been suffering
occasional pain in your neck
head, or jaws, make an ap-
pointment with your dentist to
find out if you have a cran-
iomandibular disorder. These
disorders affect about 50 mil-
lion Americans. Symptoms
range from ringing and buz-
zing in the ears, dizziness,
headaches, and earaches to
neck and shoulder pain. When
dentally-related, these disor-
ders usually occur when the
lower and upper jaws are out
of alignment.
,, Often the problem begins
with the loss of back teeth.
This leads to a shifting of the
remaining teeth and stress on
the chewing muscles. Some-

times this creates painful
spasms. One of the treatments
involves alering the position,
and shape of he teeth to bring
the chewing muscles into a
proper working relationship
with the jaw.
The patient is fitted with a
temporary, removable plastic
bridge until symptoms have
disappeared and the teeth are
properly aligned. He or she
can then be fitted with perma-
nent restorations.

saves in anxiety over your sick
children."
Kent said that common, eve-
ryday diseases that formerly re-
quired Immunization to protect
children have all but disappeared
from the scene since the health
,service started giving immuniza-
tions.
These include diseases such
as measles, mumps, rubella, po-
lio, diphtheria, hepatitis B and
chicken pox. Some of these dis-
eases are still around and active
but their presence is considerably
diminished with the required pro-
gram for a child to take before he
enters school.
Pointing to the success of the
school-required immunization
program and how it is being uti-
lized. Kent told about 'another
regimen now required by the
schools. Students entering the
seventh grade must take a hepa-
titis B booster series. "I checked
with the Superintendent of Edu-
cation, and he tells me there are
only five students in all of Gulf
County who have not started the
series of shots." Kent told his lis-
teners.
'This saves you money in, few-
er absences by your employees
with a need to care for a sick
child; it is less- stress against
your medical coverage, and it is
less expense to your employees
for medication," Kent empha-
sized. "System-wide, we figure the
benefits ratio Is about 300 to 1."
Kent said the Health Depart-
ment headquarters needs a new
and larger building. "I have put a
new building In my projected Im-
provements to be funded within
five years, with hopes that it will
be. Of course, our immunization
is only one of many preventative
programs operated out *of the
Health Department."
SKent stressed the bargain of-
fered by his department by re-
vealing that It operates on a bud-
get, of $1,112,938 per year. The
State of Florida picks up about
80% of the expense while Gulf
County Is responsible for only
3%. The rest of the budget is
funded by federal and private
sources, such as a minimal
charge placed against the individ-
ual for services rendered.
Guests of the club were Mary
Cook of Pelham, Georgia; Candler
Brown of Decatur; -Georgia and
Ernie Morgan of Port St. Joe.

The Postal Service has taken
the next step in modernizing the

tomer-friendly parcel reform case


with the independent Postal Rate
Commission (PRC).
Authorized by the Postal
Service's Board of Governors in
January, this filing introduces

Decorative New Sidewalks
New sidewaks installed on Reid Avenue in the downtown
revitalization program feature inserts of decorative pavers
all the way down both sides of the street. The new sidewalks
replace the old walkways which hadbeen in place since the
1930's. Much patching and many needs for even more"
patching had gone on since that time.



FEMA Warns Against

Hurricane Assistance Fraud


:With the arrival of the 1997,
hurricane season, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) warned that aggressive
action will be taken against any
criminal attempt to defraud the
federal government in connection
with disaster aid .for hurricane
victims. :
According to Paul J. Lillls, 'as-
sistant inspector general for the
Investigations Division of FEMA's
Office of the Inspector General,
the vast majority of people seek-
i4g disaster ail are legally erti-
fled to apply for it. However,'.he
ibted that 48 Individuals were ei-
9' their arrested or convicted over
the last 20. months for disaster-
related fraud resulting in more
than $19 million in fines, restltu-
tion and other federal savings.:,,
%-, "As another hurricane season
begins, we find these criminal ac-
tions particularly significant be-
cause they serve as a remainder
that the federal government will
arrest and prosecute anyone who
attempts to gain Illegally from
other people's tragic losses." Lillis
said. He emphasized that theft of
government property or claiming
false hurricane losses are felony
charges and carry a maximum
five-year prison term and/or a
$250,000 fine.
SLllls ,noted that two ongoing
federal investigative task forces in
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands are expected: to produce
additional indictments and ar-
rests. The task forces, formed to
pursue fraud in connection with
Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and


SHurricane Marilyn in 1995, al-
ready have led to several success- ,
ful prosecutions, Ltllls said.
FEMA's O1G is responsible for,
investigating agency programs'
and operations, including fraudu-.
lent applications for presidential-
ly declared disaster assistance.
"Prosecution of fraud cases is
brought by the U.S. Department
of Justice. :
Llllis said that anyone who is
aware of criminal activity regard-
ing FEMA cdisaster assistance can
a.nonymously report the Informa-
tion directly to th'e OIG by calling-
the toll-free hotline at 1-800-323-
8603. The hotline is in operation
24 hours a, day, seven days a
week.

Sponsoring Auxiliary
Deputy Class Soon
The'Gulf County Sheriffs
Office is in the process of spon-
soring an auxiliary deputy class.
The class will be a 60-hour
class which will be instructed
through Gulf. Coast Community
College.,
In order to have the class in
Gulf County,. Sheriff McKelthen
advised he would need at least 12
students. The class will cost $75.'
Anyone interested in taking
the auxiliary deputy class should
notify Sheriff McKeithen or Capt.
Joe Nugent at the Gulf County
Sheriffs Office (227-1115).


significant worksharing discounts ;
and product enhancements "
' Intended to spur growth in the
Postal Service's parcel products.
John Kelly, New York Metro Area
vice-president and leader of a spe-
cial unit focused on improving
parcel service and increasing par-
cel revenues, hailed the filing as a
fistt step,toward making postal
package services more compet-
tive and responsive to customer
needs."
Several new service options
are contained in the Postal,
Service's filing. Bulk insurance is:
proposed with fees that are lower
than those applied to single
pieces. Delivery confirmation will
become available for as little as 25.
cents if the mailer can retrieve the
information electronically. ,,
Mailers of under-one-pound
parcels will be offered.a flat $1.75
per piece bulk return rate for
large volumes of returned items
that they pick up at postal faclli-
ties. That rate is as much as 40 '
,percent below today's comparable
prices. Shipper-paid forwarding is
also being: introduced to allow
'senders of under-one-pound
parcels to have the forwarding

All


Is expected, to be developed in the
future.
John Ward, vice-president,
Marketing Systems, added that
"today's filing contains proposals
to dramatically improve postal
parcel services by Introducing
value adding enhancements long
sought by parcel shippers. This
demonstrates the positive results
of working closely with our cus-
tomers to meet their service
needs."
The proposals in today's fil-
ing, developed during more than
two years of consultation with
representatives of the parcel ship-'


ping industry, constitute "the
fourth phase of the Postal
Service's ongoing Claseiflcation
Reform program. Earlier reform
cases focused on letter and flat-
size mail but' each sought to
improve the services available to
customers and to encourage more
efficient mail preparation.
Urider the law, the PRC must
render a decision on the Postal
Service requesthwithin 10 months.
The' Postal Service's Governors
would then act on the recommen-
dation and,. if accepted, would set
a date for 'its implementation,
probably in earjy 1998.


moved.
Existing rates for parcels
deposited by the customer at the'
destination bulk mail center
(BMC) will not change, on aver-
age. A new discount (about 5 per-
cent) is proposed for customers
who deposit parcels at the origin
BMC.
Additional new discounts for
'parcels deposited by the mailer at
the destination mail processing
facility or destination delivery
office will result in rates that are
below the current level by an
average of 22 percent and 35 per-
cent, respectively.
Barcoding incentives are
being introduced that will afford a
discount of 4 cents per-piece to
mailers who apply a barcode to a
parcell processed at a BMC."
Kelly noted that "combining
the discount for destination entry
with our proposed intra-BMC
rates gives the Postal Service very
competitive prices. These work-
sharing options will reward cus-
tomers for dropping packages
deeper into our distribution sys-
tem and helping us leverage our
strengths in the Jlocal delivery
"market. This demonstrates 'our
commitment to strengthen our
parcel business and makes us the
shipper of choice for. value-mind-
ed'customers." '
The;.Postal SerOice's proposal
also increases the maximum
weight for bound~printed matter--
such as telephone books and cat-
alogs-from 10 to 15 pounds and
Increases the size of mailable
parcels from 108 to 130 inches in
combined length and girth.

S.Mission Of


The Church

In Luke 19:10 we find,
"For the Son of man came
to see and to save the
lost." The church is a
Oliver F. Taylor group of people who wor-
Visitation Minister, First ship together in a special
United Methodist Church place. It is to strengthen
the faith of this group, but its mission is to seek
and save the lost. The church represents Christ
and it is imperative to seek out and share the
Christ with non-Christians. Jesus was criticized
for associating with Zacchaeus who was very
unpopular because he was a chief tax collector.
The church is not a mutual admiration soci-
ety. It has a job to do. This is to share the good'
news which we call the Gospel. The main mis-
sion of the church is to share this gospel with
the whole world. Too often we refer to mission as
some place far from home, but it also includes
our neighborhood. Christ's mission for us is
right here as well as around the world.

and mental health center. It is .it intended to replace psychological counseling ot treatment services.


Dear Counselor:
I am a college student.
Recently a professor and some of
my family have told me I am a per-
fectionist, like it's something bad.
My professor reprimanded me
because I have turned in some.,
assignments late and even gave
me a lower grade on the best
paper in the class because it was -
not turned in on time.' I worked '.
veryhard on this assignment and
don't think it's fair.
My sister is not speaking to
me because argue all the time
about housework. She is a slob
and I get very angry with her
because I am always doing all the
work. Is it so wrong to want things
done right? Why am I constantly'
being chastised for working hard? &
Signed,
Unappreciated
Dear Unappreciated,
There is nothing wrong with
working hard and being conscien-
tious of the quality of your workk,
However, when the quality of the'
,work means sacrificing other
responsibilities, goals, relation-
slhips, or your own mental health,
it's time to consider some changes
in your thinking and your behav-
iors.
Perfectionism usually stems
from a basic Irrational and unre-
alistic belief in the possibility of a:
perfect world. The facts are that'
no one is perfect, the world is fal-
lible, and perfection is not attain-
able. ,
Additionally, no two people
will agree on what perfection real-
ly is. Your professor, for example,
believes you are closer to perfec-
tion by turning in assignments on ,
time than if you have a redundant:'
wqrd or two in your paper. You':
and every one else have limita- ;
tions on how much you can
achieve -and there is almost
always a sacrifice of perfection
when you set priorities and goals..
For Instance, if your relation-
ship with your sister is a priority-.
you will both have to overlook the,
other's imperfections. Once you
convince yourself that nothing or."


no one is perfect, you-can do"somtdi
thfigs to' help yourself*adjustto
the real world.
First, set your standards a lit-
tle lower than you usually do. To
achieve a 4.0 or A average you
need a 95% average score on your
school work. Second, set priorities
and clarify what is expected of
you. Some of your activities
require great attention to detail
and others only an approxima-
tion. .
Third, do the best you can
without expecting anything to be
perfect. For example, if there is a
spot on the window .you just
cleaned, it's OK. The window
looks much better. Fourth, when
you become frustrated, over-
whelmed, 'or obsessed,' ask your-
self, "How important is it for this
task to be perfect?" (Does a period.
go after the quotation marks in
this last sentence? I .don't know.
Oh .well, you 'get the message
either way).
Finally, explore why you are a
perfectionist. Many times perfec-
tionism comes from compensating
for feelings of Inadequacy. You will
make mistakes and produce
imperfect results. This makes you
normal, not inferior. A counselor
can help you with this process
and explore 'alternative ways to
think and behave that are more
adaptable than perfectionism.
If youth decide to seek counsel-
- ing the' Gulf County Guidance
Clinic can provide this service or
make a referral to another agency.
Please call us if we can help.
Sincerely,
Ed Dennis, M.S.
Clinical Services. Supervisor

The Memorial Day Weekend
event was for youth in churches
in the Northwest Coast Baptist
Association which includes Gulf,
Bay and Franklin counties.
"Our Acteens thought that if
Jesus came to our area on
Memorial Day weekend He would
be at the beach where the most
people were. He would tell beach-
goers that God not only made a
beautiful beach for them to enjoy,
but a beautiful, life'as well," said
Martha Clark, Acteens advisor
from Long Avenue. Baptist
Church.
In addition to distributing
1,000 cold beverages, the Acteens
also distributed more than 1,000
flyers which asked, "Thirsty ... for
truth?" and included how to find
and experience the truth and per-
fect life God offers to all people.

Dear Readers,
This will be a very personal
and serious Lion's Tale this week.
Faith Christian School began
almost 23 years ago in the fall of
1974 with one dozen little five
year old kindergarten students.
Of these, one has his
Doctorate in the field of physics-
math, another is a nuclear physi-
cist, one is in environment protec-
tion research, one in Florida law
enforcement, and another here in
St. Joe in his father's business.
One is at'Arizona Chemical, one is
an R.N. in Jacksonville, and
another is a secretary in a
Christian school in South
Carolina. One young lady is in her
last year of elementary education
and has been teaching for us this
past year.
It is so true that yesterday's
students are leaders .out in this
world, and today's students will
be tomorrow's citizens and par-
ents. It is very important that
these students get a good educa-
tion.
We at Faith Christian believe
, that a good education includes
more than reading, writing and
arithmetic, although we major, on
these. Our 1996-97 achievement
scores are in and we averaged
about one grado above the nation-
al norm. The average achievement
level of Faith Christian School is
above the average ability level so
we know that our teachers ,and
students 'work hard to learn the
basics.
The real difference for us is
an education that is centered on
God's word. Our textbooks and
our teachers relate all studies to,:
God who-is the author of all learn-:
ing. In addition, students memo-
rize. Bible verses that will stay
with them all their lives, and; we
teach Bible every day from three-
year old kindergarten through
high school.
The most important thing our
students learn is that God loves
them unconditionally and that He
sent His son to die for them that
they might have life and have it
more abundantly. Only Heaven
will show the results of our min-
istry.
I want to thank our readers
for their prayers this year. It has
been a difficult year with .two.
changes in administration and
several in the office force. The
shut down at the nmilflas been a
factor, and we appreciate those'
who have given to help with our
finances. We covet the support
and prayers of our churches and
individual Christians in our area
churches.
Our thanks goes ultimately to
God for each of you. We are ask-:'
ing Him for strength and wisdom
as we continue on into the 1997-
98 school year. Please continue to
pray for us .
Sincerely, '
"Miss Jackie" Quarles
P.S. Another thank you-to The
