Arizona Chemical



Will Release Seven

In Industry-Wide Move

to Be More Competitive
Just about the time you figure Port St. Joe has been shaken
down enough make it lean and aggressive, along comes another
jolt to the make-up of the job picture and affects it again.
This time it was an industry-wide cost-cutting move by Ari-
zona Chemical Company which stirred the economic waters with
the announcement of belt tightening throughout its family of
plants. The cutback spells termination for seven Port St. Joe em-
ployees of the naval stores manufacturer, according to plant
manager, Dave Garrett.
Garrett says the plant will be terminating three from its staff
inside the management corps and four from its operational plant
by the end of November of this year.
AN ECONOMY MOVE
'This is strictly an economy driven move on our part," Gar-
rett said. "A combination of pressures from the Asian market
and increasing pressure from the domestic manufacturers who
are our competitors are determining this move. We have to be
more competitive in our product and this is one move we're tak-
ing to stay competitive."
Garrett said the Port St. Joe plant, as a whole, has a solid fu-
ture in Arizona's plans. Its future has a continuity to it which its
performance has assured through the good performance of its
workers in the past. "We make a good and valued product here,"
Garrett said, "which should keep us in the running for top plant
designation for the future."

Harrison

Released
Former Gull County Sheriff Al
Harrison was leased from feder-
al prison in Atlanta late last week
after complete g his nearly four
year sentence.
.At his Wewahitchka home
Monday evening, Harrison said he
would be spending the next sever-
al: days reacquainting himself
with friends and relatives.
_ Yellow ribbons adorned each
pecan tree on both sides of the
entrance drive to the property,
complete with "Welcome Home,
Al" signs set by friends, to greet
his wife, Bonnie, and him upon
their arrival home.
At the top of his list of things
to do was to visit the grave sites of
his mother and father, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Harrison. Both
passed away during his incarcer-
ation, and Harrison was denied
requests to attend their funeral
services.


The late Marilyn Witten loved
the young people of Gulf County.
She was much more than "just a
guidance counselor" for the thou-
sands of students that passed her
way.
She was their mentor, a con-
cerned helper, a tremendous lis-
tener, an astute judge of individ-
ual needs-a friend. She truly
exemplified all that is good with
the educational system.

The other referendum to
appear on the ballot would give
commissioners the authority to
grant incentives to businesses to
locate in the county through
property tax exemption and
reductions.
Commissioners have argued
that both measures can help pro-
vide economic stability, growth,
and jobs within the county.
The TDT (tourist development
tax) would be charged on rental


tee. They painted a very simple
picture in stressing the Impor-
tance of the referendum.
"If we want to compete with
other communities, while seeking
to lure new businesses and jobs
to Gulf County. we have to offer
some incentives," said committee
chairman Joe Danford.
Those same incentives could
also be given to existing business-
es who, through expansion, cre-
ate additional jobs.


County commissioners
pledged. themselves as a board
.1 more than a year ago to take an
I aggressive stance on developing a
, more diversified economy within
the county, thus creating addi-
'-tional jobs .....
They agreed with the
Economic Development Commit-
tee that offering incentives is nec-
essary in order to create addition-
al jobs within the community,
thus supporting the matter being
brought before voters.

Workshop Set for Ambulance
Upgrade
Commissioner Billy Traylor
told board members the prelimi-
nary figures were in for the cost to
upgrade ambulance service In the
:north end of Gulf County to an
advanced life support system.


Cong. Boyd's Rep.

A member of U.S. Represen-
tative Allen Boyd's (D-North
Florida) staff will be visiting Port
St. Joe on the third Friday/of

Gulf County will have the oppor-
tunity to discuss in person issues
which concern them.
A representative of Rep. Allen
Boyd's staff will be at the Gulf
. County Court House, in the
.-downstairs conference room. from
9:00 to 11:30 a.m.. ET, tomorrow,
on Friday, October 16. so that the
people of Gulf County will have
the opportunity to discuss in per-
son issues which concern them.


County Commission Chairman Tommy Knox, right, presents a

Commissioners committed
themselves, to upgrading the sys-
tem at the board's last meeting.
They praised local volunteers for
the service they have given to the
county, but as Cnommissioner
Traylor said; "1 thiik the-time is
now."
Chairman Tommy Knox
called for a board workshop on
the matter Monday, October 19 in
the board's meeting room at 6:00
ET/5:00 CT to begin hashing out
the details.
One of the major items to be
considered is who will provide the
service. Price estimates have been
gathered, looking at two options.
OOne option Is to extend the
county's current ALS service in,
South Gulf County to man and
provide service out. of the
Wewahitchka ambulance build-
ing. The other proposal being con-
sidered Is to hire Bay County's
ambulance service to provide ALS
service.

It is with these ideas in mind
that the Gulf County School
Board announces the formation
of the Marilyn Witten Scholarship
Fund. This monetary award will
go annually to assist a deserving
senior in his or her quest for addi-
tional knowledge beyond their
high school years.
It is certainly n. keeping with
Marilyn's tradition of service to
the students. It was her earnest


desire to lift the entire intellectual
level of each class, one individual
at a time. To this end, she gave
tirelessly of her time, her talent,
and her money.
Anyone wishing to honor
Marilyn and her commitment to
education in Gulf County may do
so by contributing to the scholar-
ship fund. Please contact Sissy
Worley at the Gulf County School

Commission Miscue

IT ISN'T OFTEN THAT WE criticize the actions of our city
commission, for the simple reason that they do a pretty good job
of governing our city. But, it is necessary sometimes that we do so
and that isn't to say that we are always correct and the target of
our jibes Is always wrong.
This particular time, we are convinced that we are correct and
.the commission has made a wrong move; at least a move which is
not in the best interests of the city.
We're talking about their recent decision to award the annual
audit responsibilities to a Jacksonville firm at a price of nearly
$10,000 over what a local firm will perform the same service for
and approximately $8,500 more than a Tallahassee firm agreed to
do the job for.

'A THIRD MORE FOR the audit is just too much a difference
to 'accept without objection on our part.
We realize the successful firm is a fine firm, but so are the
other two offers from fine firms, also. The successful firm is not
that much better than the other two. All three must meet the same
standards in order to be able to put the designation, "CPA", behind'
their names.
One of the partners in the lowest bidder firm has been an
auditor for several years for St. Joe Paper Company, Container
Division. The other partner is currently the auditor for Gulf
County, Franklin County and several other government agencies.
It isn't as if they were novices to the business of performing com-
petent audits.
It's Ironic that the firm of Deloitte & Touche was recommend-
ed to the city for their auditing job many years ago, when such
firms were forbidden by law from offering bids. The city needed an
auditor and this was the only firm some of the commissioners
knew of. They have been replaced, at times, but have been re-
hired.
AT THIS TIME, THE cash flow of the city should be consid-
ered, as well as the necessity for a good audit. The city does not
have an extra S10,000 to just toss away on an audit, which, in
effect, is exactly what it Is doing.
We don't build up the city by sending its business to out-of-
town firms who pay no taxes, fees, rents, or services here. The
idea is to get what is best for the city, a deal that builds up the
city, not deteriorates it. Any money sent out of town deteriorates
the city, but an extra third to perform a task, Is just too much to
sit by and remain silent.



Feed On Each Other

SATURDAY WAS AN IMPORTANT day in Port St. Joe. It was
both the day for the health fair and the WalkAmerica March of
Dimes affair. Both are important affairs in the health of our com-
munity and nation. The health fair is an important player in deter-
miniln person's need for expert attention if he Is to coriti txiet
good ~l th. The March of Dimes is one of several approved-1tihTLtk;
fundnr determining the cause of problems with childrenitld
newborns.
Both activities were huge successes Saturday, in spite of our
depressed state of economics. The people of Port St. Joe respond-
ed in true fashion and supported these activities to the ultimate.
A third charity was Faith Christian School's annual flea mar-
ket and barbecue, held to raise funds for the school. fit's to the
school's credit that it doesn't go through the sham of conducting
a lottery to raise funds.]
All three activities were held in the same location, feeding off
the crowd attracted by the other activity. This is as it should be.
People are anxious to support anything which directly helps
themselves and the community, and the more convenient we can
make the different activities, the better.

WE REMEMBER WHEN FDR first initiated the March of
Dimes, strictly to fight polio. The fund was successful in its mis-
sion because the people had faith in it. Now it has shifted gears to
research birth defects and childhood diseases. As long as the fund
has the welfare of children as its focus, it will be successful, as
well as work for an acceptable target. We have seen the treatment
centers for polio, prior to the cure being found. The victims went
through torture, just trying to combat the effects of the disease.


Hunker Down With Kes by Kesley Colbert



The Quiet Is Getting Loud


I'm much better off.
I finally got all those people
out of my house! Man, I thought
for a while there UNICEF was
advertising me as a third world
country.
Hagen was the first to go. That,
was back on June 28th. At teh
minutes past 2:00. On a scorching
hot afternoon. His mother and he'


both were waving to beat the band
way past after that rented car she
came to pick him up in had gone
plumb out of sight. They were
probably still waving when their
plane touched down in Stuttgart.
Crazy Germans! I'm lucky to be
shed of them.
Arid listen here, I am right
proud Elke came over and got him!
Likely as not he'd still be here if
she hadn't. 'Course, come to think
of it, she stayed near 'bout a
month!
J6zsef left July 27th. Early in
the morning. He hugged me three
times before, I could get him in the
car. And his mother hugged me
twice. And his father shook my


hand ..... .and then hugged me.
His little sister didn't hardly let go
of me the whole two weeks they
were here "picking up Jozser".
Them Hungarians is a hugging
bunch!
And you won't believe this, in a
very weak moment, I told the little
sister that when' she got old
enough for the foreign exchange
program .... give me a call.
'I hope Sally Struthers doesn't
get Mrind of what's happening here!
Kurt left onri August 3rd. It was
a Monday morning. He worked at
the church on Sunday, came by
and got his "stuff', shook hands,
hugged us, patted us on the back,


thanked us and just like that......
.. he and that constant, Infectious,
never-ending grin were gone.
One less mouth to feed.
Josh left on the 15th of
August. He had a "quick summer",
mostly filled with work. He needed
the money for graduate school.
And, in ,a novel idea, he actually
left a few days before he had, to,
"Got to get .back and make sharee
everything is all pet." We didn't
know if he was talking, school ,or
girlfriend.
At twenty-two ;he was. some-
what of a, proat coming and going.
He loaded up his truck a little after
noon on Saturday. His backing out
of the driveway last. words were,
"McGwire's gonna get 'em, dad!"
Jesse&left one week and one
day later. I don't,really know how
much money he'd saved over the
summer. He didn't say. I also don't
know how he felt about going back
for his second yeai of college. He
didn't say. If he noted the several'
-extra faces around the house all
summer he never "let on". And we,'
didn't spend a lot of time out by
'the car as he was leaving. Jess is
not big on, hugging and shaking,
hands and good-byes .... .

Does Y2K

I HEARD A presentation at
Rotary Club last Thursday which
would be comical if it wasn't' '
potentially so serious, with suCh
disastrous effects. I'm talking .
about the pending Y2K we're read-
ing so much about these days.
From what I read and what
the speaker told us. this thing is
the next thing to the second com-
ing in its effects on our lives. One
day it will be business: as usual,
then on the first day of the year
2000' all the computers will rebel-
and just lock up. The world will
come to a standstill. Everything
which runs by computers will
cease and desist to operate.
Everything will come to a halt
from my electric watch to the,
automated lawn sprinkler.
Or, so the man said, and he's
supposed to be an expert, repair-
ing computers to resist the millen-
nium changeover.
It seems computers, in all
their abilities, are not equipped to
deal with such a momentous occa-
sion as a change from "1" to "2". It


Mark the Beginning of a Computer Revolution?


ETAOIN SHRDLU


* by Wesley Ramsey


will blow the machine's mind; or at
least, some of the machines'
minds.

WHAT BROUGHT ALL this
on? What caused this mess? Well,
it was the great American genius
of saving money in the building of
machines.
This is according to the speak-
er, now.
It seems that when computers
first started to invade every area of
activity, they were strapped for
memory space. Someone came up
with the bright idea of leaving out
the portion of the date that put the
century into print-just leaving


K-


that to understanding-and save;
two bits of memory space. Now
that we're just before having to
change that century designation,
there is no place in most comput!
ers to designate which century is
being recorded.
According to the speaker, this
inability will lock up the computer
and it just won't do anything. It
will need repairing, or altering, by
an expert, so it will do the proce-
dure. If your coffeemaker was pro-
grammed to begin perking at 6:30
in the morning, it just won't start
because it doesn't know 6:30 a.m.,
on WHICH morning!
IF YOU CHARGE something


on your charge card. nobody
,knows what will happen, since
your repayment schedule might
cross into the new century. Will
your portion of the charge sched-
uled for repayment during the
century of 2000 be recorded or
not?
If you make a bank loan,
:repayable into the new century,
will it make it into the schedule, or
will it be erased? Nobody knows.
The bugger in the deal is that
these deformed computers are still
being sold, compounding the
problem. All computers are not so
limited, but the purchaser doesn't
know which ones are and which
ones aren't. Many manufacturers
are still manufacturing hardware
and software with the old limita-
tions.
Computers are built into vir-
tually everything, now, so virtually
everything which operates auto-,
matically, 'repeatedly, figures
financial tables into the future, fig-
ures interest, or records will be


scheduled for a shutdown.

BUT, THE PICTUI E isn't
entirely bleak. I can see pi-blems
ahead for all these automatic
phone systems which say, "If you
wish to speak to such-and-such
department, press 2, or if you
desire another departrnent,*,'press
3 ." In the first place, I don't
know which department I wish to
speak to. All I know is, I want to
speak to "Joe". And, I also know I
don't wish to listen to a multiple
choice spiel everytime I call for
"Joe".
Also, it might stop all. those
annoying sales pitch calls which
,come just as I sit down to supper.
Likely, with the lock-up of the
automatic calling feature, 'politi-
cians will be forced to use some
other method of solicitation of
votes and we won't have them get-
ting into trouble with the. voters
with sabotage calls such: as a
gubernatorial candidate did in
Florida a few years back.


THE' LOCK-UP OF 'OUR
computers may not be all bad. We
might' need to start figuring wfth'
our brains once again, rather thai'
depend on a machine. We might
have to revett to measurement by
a ruler, or scale, instead 6f an elec-
tronic robot.' We might, once
again, need to wind our' watches
rather than depend on batteirymdi-l
ven mini computers to keep us on
tim e. ", ., :, :t
We might, once again, take'
over the operation of our automo-
biles again and make shade-tree
repairs rather than tow them to. a
"diagnostic center" every time they
skip a beat.
All this seems to be a possibil-;
ity, but be prepared to do without
some of the good: things which
computers afford us, too,: such as
this type-setting system I'm peck-
ing out this column on. I'm afraid
the changes we have brought
about with computers are here t9
stay. We're just going to have tb
figure out a way to overcome this
threat we're facing now!

What Are They
Thinking About?
To the Editor:
What can the City
Commission be thinking when
they send a contract to
Jacksonville, that could have
been awarded to a local firm with
a savings of $9600 for the same
work?
This is very bad for the tax-
payers, and all businesses of Gulf
County. We spend time and
money in an effort to promote the
local economy. This sets a bad
.example when the City Commis-
sion does not practice what is
being worked for.
All revenue that is kept local
has a trickle-down effect, and will
benefit,- many. people! in Gulf

. -Why Did City Send
Money To Jax?
Tq The Editor,
Why would the city commis-
sWloners send money that was
earned in Port St. Joe to
Jacksonville. Florida, when we
have a local firm that can do the
job?
The City of Port St. Joe needs
,to support small business as well
as large business. Small business
; s the backbone to any
community. The City needs to
,support this local business and
keep our people in jobs.
/s/ William H. Carr, Sr.

operate the credit union under
state and federal regulation.
Although the times may change,
the principles that credit unions
are based on will not.

SJlpRD Report,

ROBBERY ARRESTS
On the morning of October
7th at approximately 3 a.m.
Officers James Norris and David
Cross responded to the Shell
Station in reference to it being
robbed.
According to information
received, a black male entered the
store and, after assaulting the
clerk, ran out of the store toward
Burger King with cash In hand.
A joint Investigation between
the Port St. Joe Police
Department and the Gulf County
Sheriffs Department resulted In
the arrest of Clyde Byrd. 34, and
Sean Chas Bailey, 21. both of Port
St. Joe. Both individuals were
charged with robbery.
Of the three robberies occur-
ring in Port St. Joe, two persons
on early release from Florida pris-
ons have been charged. This rep-
resents the second robbery that
Clyde Byrd has been charged
with; with Derrick Edward
Kennedy of Highland View being
charged with the robbery of the
EZ Serve convenience store.
Had these persons been in
prison serving their full sentence
for their prior violent and predato-
ry crimes, these robberies would
not have occurred, according to
the police department.
The Port St. Joe Police
Department would like to thank
Sheriff McKeithen and the' Gulf
County Sheriffs Office for their
outstanding assistance in the
clearance of the three robberies.
Without their assistance, these
cases might not have been suc-
cessfully solved, especially in
such a timely manner.

Friday, October 9th, shortly
before 7 p.m., Kenneth J.

ed or revoked license.
According to Officer Burch's
report, Carpenter's vehicle was.

CAN'T STAY OFF THE ROAD

Batre, Alabama, was arrested by
Officer Burch for driving while his
license was suspended or
revoked.
According to information
received. Rice had parked in the

While Officer Burch was investi-
gating the reason why Rice was
obstructing the roadway. it was

Yes, it is true, if your Heating
and Cooling system is not a high
efficiency system onu are wasting
money.
For the past couple of years
we have found a need to inform
our customers of these little known
facts. An old or inefficient system
can be costing you more to operate
than the payments would be for a
new high efficiency system.
I have made arrangements
with a national financing company
to provide low interest loans to
homeowners for the purchase of
new healing and cooling equip-
ment for their homes. The applica-
tion takes about 5 minutes to fill
out and it only lakes an additional
5 minutes on the phone to get
approval to start the job. In some
cases the monthly payments are
less than the savings on the electric
bill. Thus, you are making money.
I have had jobs where the
owner reported 'as much as
$170.00 savings from their electric


bill, in comparison with the same
month a year later, after installing
a 12 SEER Heal Pump System.
Improvements to your windows
and insulation can also add to
your savings.
Another problem that can cost
you money and comfort is under-
sized systems. An undersized sys-
tem becomes most apparent during
hot weather. If your Air
Conditioner runs all day without
shutting off. the problem could be
an undersized Air Conditioner.
We also see a lot of problems
due to the lack of maintenance. To
solve this problem we offer a main-
tenance agreement: this agreement
provides for your unit to be
checked twice a year.
Whatever your heating and
cooling needs or problems might
be. call for a free estimate. We will
evaluate your needs, make sugges-
tions and provide you with a
quote, at no cost to you. Garry L.
Gddis established 1987.

Commitment

In Luke 9:62 we find,
"Jesus said to him: No one
who ,puts his hand to the,
plow and looks back is fit
for the kingdom of God."
Jesus had already set a
Oliver F. Taylor pattern of life to which He
Oliver F. Tylor,
would remain ever faithful.
Visitation Minister. First w e er thf ul
United Methodist Church This would lead to the cross
and salvation to those who
,would accept Him as Savior.
Is it too, much for us to ,do when we .profess
faith in Christ to enter a life from which there is no
Turning back? Once we comihit ourselves to' Christ
we can no longer have freedom to do as we wish,
our lives belong to Him. A commitment to Jesus
Christ is a life changing event. Many people want
Jesus, but a life without changes. This is not pos-
sible. Think it over.

. The first time
dismissed it as
nothing but
nonsense. But
lately I've been
considering it.
and it may be -
true. -
The Florida '.
Department of Health is running
commercials showing straps,
belts, and other Items commonly
used to discipline children. It
also shows cigarette smoke. Can
smoking around your children
be an unintended form of child
abuse?
Before dismissing this idea as
I did, think about it. Second
hand smoke does kill you, right?
So Isn't It possible that you are
inadvertently risking your chil-
dren's health. 1
I'm not ;suggesting disciplin-
ing your children is child abuse,'
but endangering their health
could be. When a person kills a
child there is swift and strict
punishment. ,When you smoke
around a child, they won't die,
but they are likely to develop'
asthma and other heart and
breathing problems that could
lead to death .
If you must smoke, ask your
child to leave the room for a cou-
ple of minutes. Or you could go
into another room to smoke.
This small inconvenience could
reduce'the risk of bad health of
people you love significantly.
Another thing that you
should do is not smoke in the
car when you're with your kids.
A cracked window does not elim-
inate all smoke from your car.
A cigarette is not worth your
child's health. If you have any
questions or comments call the
Gulf County Health Department
at 227-1276, ext. 120, to speak
to the Gulf County Tobacco'
Coordinator Regina Washa-
baugh.
Or if you would like your
opinions or questions,.xpressed
in this column each F..-ek write

the passage from the Bible about

God will multiply and use that
which we give to Him just as
Jesus fed over -5,000 with two
loaves'and-flve fishes.

Dear Counselor
-,, My son Is ,telling me. he's ,real
depressed lately. He's 10 years old.
His grades have been getting worse
at school but that's because he's not
been trying very1 hard lately. 'He
doesn't even want to 'go' to school
some days, so he fakes ai stomach
ache or a realbad headache.
There Is nothing going Ori itihis
life that would make himtdepressed
'and I -don't really ,:think he's 'old
enough to have 'real. problems any-
way. I mean; he doesn't have to deal
with paying bills or a bad marriage
or anything.
I've been telling hirm to stostp this
. at, of his because I know he's just
fdong it to get out of school. He
doesn't pay attbntion'to me though.
I don't know how to let him know
'that I am'seriously'iedd' bf lfhits'
games. Please give me some sugges-
tions. -
S' Thanks, ,
Mom ,.
Dear Mom,
.: Consider what your life was like
when you were your son's, age.
School, friends and family were
most likely your entire world. If any
of these dimensions were upset,
your world was shaken., ,
Kids battle with things that
may seem smallto us This is dpelto
the fact that we have previously
developed coping skills for the par-
ticular situation. Therefore. we
should not assume that children do
hot have issues to deal with.
Judging from the evidence you
have presented, he may very well be
depressed. He does not wish to
attend school any longer and& his
grades have fallen. You .further
describe a complaint of stomach
aches and/or headaches, which
could be symptoms of depression.
Other symptoms include (1)


sleep disturbance, (2) appetite dis-
turbance, (3) weight change, (4) irri-
table mood for children and adoles-
cents, (5) anhedonia, (6) lack of abil-
ity to concentrate, etc. Subjective
report of depression is one of the
best indicators that the individual
is, in fact, depressed.
You report no current difficul-
ties within the home setting, that
could perpetuate .' his mood.
Therefore. it would be wise to inves-
tigate his, circumstances at, school
at this point in time to determine
where the disruption lies.
I There are any number of possi-
bilities as to why your child is expe-
riencing difficulty. The guidance
counselors at the school .are more
:than willing to speak with you
regarding your child's school perfor-
'mance, and behavior. *
I also suggest you seek profes-
Ssional counseling for your child. To
r ; set up counseling with a profession-
S alat our organizatLon, contact our
" office and explain your situation. At
. that point, you should be contacted
by a competent counselor within 48
hours.
If your situation requires emer-
gency intervention by one of our
counselors, we have someone on
call 24 hours'to attend to your
'needs. '
