Commission Ponders Garbage/Tash


Recycling and Roadside

ash Collection Areas of
Major Concern for Board

I O--During ,a continuation of the Port St. Joe city commission's regular
meeting, the board met last Thursday evening to further evaluate the
-.. city's garbage and trash collection methods, while considering the iabil-
,ity of possibly contracting the garbage service to Waste Management of
1 Panama City.
In response to a request for proposal. Waste Management responded
with a quote to the city for providing garbage collection only for $10.50
per month for twice per week pick-up for residential customers.
IA City residents currently pay 814.00 per month for twice per week
Ngrbage pick-up and roadside trash collection service.
F.-During Thursday's meeting. commissioners pointed to two areas of
the city's service that were of major concern to them-the recycling pro-
gram and roadside trash pick-up.
In a breakdown of costs for garbage and trash service for the 1997-
S. .98 fiscal year. the services went nearly $16,000 in the red on a budget of
$409,434.21.

Board to Furnish Teachers

With Hepatitis B Vaccination
Program Not Mandatory by State
But Desirable Protection Offer
The Gulf County School Board further considered a possibility of
making available to all of their teaching staff a series of Hepatitis B vac-
cine immunizations, to be paid for by the system, Tuesday evening at the
their regular meeting.
The board has considered the Hepatitis B program as a precaution-
ary measure for their Instructional and administrative staff In recent
meetirig. The only drawback to swift deeisionr has been the S90 price tag
--forbeh series of three inoculaHtons ---- -- -.--* -.
"This would cost us 827 thousand at a time when our budget is
already uncertain," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Jerry
Kelley.
Kelley presented a letter from the Gulf County Health Department
*' saying that they could provide the Inoculations and would make them
available at the S90 wholesale charge, which would reflect an actual
charge from their pharmacy. Administrative expenses would be absorbed
by the health department.
.1 Kelley went on to say, "This is a very desirable program, but I don't
see how we can safely undertake It in this budget year."
Board member Oscar Redd countered with, "We should do the pro-
gram now, especially for those teachers who are most susceptible to infec-
tion. Teachers who separate students in altercations and other unruly
instances are highly susceptible to any disease germs students may have.
Certainly, our 'administrative staff should get the inoculations immedi-
ately since the} are more Involved with correcting the unruly segment of
the student body."
After considerable discussion, a realization of the risks they were tak-
ing In delaying the program, it was finally approved to go ahead immedi-
ately with the three shot regimen for all who wanted It.
Redd stated, "All the teachers do not have take the shots immedi-
ately and will come forward on a voluntary basis."
Kelley said, "The program is strictly voluntary among the Instruction-
al staff. There is nothing mandatory about the program whether we go
ahead or not."
As the program was finally unaniimously approved. It will go over into
next year's budget with instructors coming forward to receive inoculations
as they desire. The program is available to the teachers Immediately. but
the school board Is going to utilize next year's budget, as well as this
year's budget, to finance the precautionary program.
It isn't necessary utider state guidelines for the board to provide the
shots, but as Kelley said, "It's something the board should provide."
F. i CHANGE ORDER ISSUED ,
The boaid is barely out of the ground with their new building con-
struction at Pobt St. Joe Elementary School. and already a change order
has been Issued, reducing the amount by S16,235. With footings being

* Marina Groceries


Bandit is Nabbed


Just before 6. p.m. last
Saturday, November 7th, Michael
Don Swain, age 34, of Port St.
Joe, was arrested by Port St. Joe
Police Department Officer James
Norris for robbery, fleeing/
attempting to elude, resisting
arrest without violence, resisting
arrest with violence and posses-
sion of drug paraphernalia.
According to the report filed,
Swain allegedly robbed Marina
Groceries, located on Highway 98,
taldhg $100. He was seen leaving
the area in a white car, traveling
on First Street.

Chief John Ford happened to hear
the transmission. (describing the
robbery which had just occurred)

of Garrison Avenue and Cecil
Costin, Sr. Boulevard. Mr. Ford'


was able to keep the vehicle in
sight and transmit their direction
of travel to responding units.
Swain's vehicle turned off of
Cecil Costin, Sr. Boulevard onto
Woodward Avenue. At the inter-
section of Woodward Avenue and
Eighth Street, the vehicle turned
left. Once on Eighth Street, the
suspect vehicle was met by a
responding unit; the roadway was
blocked.
Swain attempted to go around
the patrol car, which resulted in
his vehicle colliding with it. The
collision disabled Swain's vehicle;
at which time he got out and ran.
Sgt. Terry Carr, the officer in
the patrol car, gave chase on foot,
advising the other units of the
suspect's direction of travel.
Swain ran through the park area,

Figures provided by PSJ Finance Clerk Elaine Handley.

As can be seen. garbage pick-up seems to be a profitable venture for
the city, but the recycle program's expense and roadside trash pick-up
are areas that are putting the budget slightly in the red.
Under the proposal made by Waste Management. the firm would con-
tinue the garbage service using the city's containers, and the city would
do the billing and collecting., just as they currently do.
Commissioners discussed the option, leaving rates the same as they
currenUy are (Sl4.dd per nionlh) and ustig ithe S3.50 differenhe to help
offset trash collection expenses.
But, Mayor Johnny Linton estimated the fee would only collect''-
approximately $50,000 per year, still far short of the amount needed to'
bring the service to a break-even point .
Trash pick-up has long been a sore subject for the board, mostly.
because so many residents abuse the privilege by placing Items in the
roadside trash pile that don't qualify as yard debris. Those items cannot
be taken to the landfill unless they are hand separated, which is a time
consuming and expensive chore for city workers.
"If we can't get the cooperation of the people, then we may have to
turn the trash over to someone else we're going to have to let them
know we mean business," Mayor Linton said.
Linton also said in a phone interview Tuesday, that he hoped the

County Settles Ambulance service decision

Now a County-Wide Organization Will Service Medical Needs of Gulf Residents


For the first time in Gulf
County's history, ambulance ser-
vice was united under one name'
to provide county-wide Advanced,
Life Support (ALS) emergency
response by vote of the Board of
County Commissioners during its
regular meeting Tuesday evening.
But. just because it says Gulf
County Ambulance Service does
not mean everyone Is happy. This
fact was underscored by the 3-2
vote of the board to enact the ser-
vice.
After two public hearings and
;numerous discussions on how
,best to provide ALS service for
north Galf County-contract with
Bay Ambulance Service to provide
emergency response or expand
the county's service In south Gulf
into one system covering the
whole county-commissioners
made the decision before a
packed house of concerned citi-
zens.
Coti-missioner Nathan Peters,
Jr. made the motion, seconded by
Commissioner Warren Yeager, to
go with the Level 4 proposal for
ALS service to North Gulf County,
made by Gulf County EMS
Director Share McGuffin.
Level 4 service will include
one paramedic, housed 24 hours
a day at the Wewahitchka ambu-
lance building, who will respond
to' the. scene, followed by volun-
teer EMTs also responding. Once
at the scene it will be determined
whether the call is ALS or BLS
(Basic Life Support), and handled
accordingly. McGuffin's proposal
also included a centrally located
floating back-up crew and Jaws of
Life service.
Commissioner Warren Yeager
stated, "This is one of the tough-


est decisions I've had to make
during my tenure as a county
commissioner."
He acknowledged, "This is not
a black and white issue," and
expressed his understanding of
the close working relationship
Wewa volunteers had with Bay
personnel.
But, he explained, South Gulf'
County's cost shrunk ftom
* $160,000 to approximately
$40,000 this year-since the


county took the system over from
Gulf Pines Hospital, and he felt it
would be the best move for the
entire county.
Commissioner John Stanley
retorted, even Ray Charles could
see the full courtroom (during a
public meeting in Wewa) and
1,200 signatures on the petition
In support of Bay's service.
"Folks on that end (north end)
want that service (Bay)," he said.
Stanley also issued several


concerns of citizens about Gulf
Pines Hospital, but it has already
been made clear during public
meetings that it's the patient's
choice what hospital they are
taken for treatment.
Commissioner Billy Traylor
said he was disappointed in the
board, and he knew the vote
would be 3-2, even before it was
taken.

Th StaY NOVEMB

()PAGE TWO THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, L998,


Slow Down!

WE THOUGHT THE PEOPLE OF Gulf County were interest-
ed in securing more jobs for our people to work at, but events of
the past two weeks have caused us to have second thoughts
about the matter. Not just one event, but a multitude of events.
This problem isn't reserved for our governments, either. The
general population is just as guilty of the turn of events as any
government could ever be. We need to take another look at our
priorities and what the end result of our actions will be, before we
put our decisions in stone. What action will our general decisions
bring about; what will the results to our people be? We've a need
to take every aspect into consideration and not just our own per-
sonal wants and desires.
NUMBER ONE, WE'VE A NEED TO quit driving jobs from our
county borders. We have a tendency now to hire somebody else to
do certain jobs and perform certain services for us, so we won't
be bothered with the everyday operation of certain services.
One of these is close to home; our garbage service. We're being
advised to turn our collection service over to an out-of-town, out-
of-county firm to do the job of collecting it because it might save
us some money. ,t might even save our commissioners a little
effort in operating the service. Didn't they ask for that job?,
We put the word might in Italics, because we haven't taken a
long hard look at the situation to see what the effect will be.
We've heard the rosy opinion of our Mayor, but have we
explored it thoroughly? We certainly need to have public meetings
about what surely is a major step for our city to take. Have we
taken any bids. .. set out any work plan of just what we expect
of any company we hire to do the job?
Certainly, we'need to do all these things. We especially need
to take bids to ascertain which company offers the best deal, or
are we better off to continue to collect it ourselves? We're not con-
vinced, by a long shot, that we should -abandon the system we
have, based on one proponents' idea. It's too much of,a risk to
accomplish such a change with less than a six month examina-
tion.
What we're saying, Is. "Slow this freight train downl"
ANOTHER VERY REAL THING TO consider, is the number
of jobs it will cost us. It's true. the jobs don't pay top dollar, but
they're steady; they are jobs people fill and steady jobs are not
only in short supply right now, they are decreasing! Why should
we actively chase them away if we don't have to'?
The jobs won't disappear, there will just be someone else
doing them: someone else who doesn't make his home here, do
his shopping here, send his children to school in Gulf County. All
the people to be affected in this manner don't ride the garbage
truck, either.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE CITIZENS who can't dispose of their
own trash? We're talking about hiring out our garbage collection
to strangers; not our trash collection. Who's going to assist these
infirm people in taking away their trash? If the city continues to
do it, where will the savings come from?
How much money will we save? If we don't save a substantial
amount, we see no need in changing methods of collection.
SThere's something to be said for convenience too-convenience of
ithed. 4O customers in the.city, not just the convenience of those
charged with the responsibility of collecting garbage and keeping
our city clean. Using our own people to collect garbage with our
own system wil result in more of a conscientious effort about col-
lecting it correctly and thoroughly. than hiring strangers to do it.
WILL WE ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY with a different collec-
tion team? It doesn't sound as if we will. On the surface we are
told we will save 83.50 a month. But will we? Our $10.50 will pay
for emptying that garbage can we have at our homes, twice a
week. ..
The present system pays for emptying our garbage can twice "
a week, hauling off our trash, furnishes our garbage can and its
maintenance, our trash can and its maintenance, our facilities to
handle garbage and our bookkeeping system to collect for the ser-
vice, plus numerous other hidden expenses.
Under the proposed system. we pay S10.50 a month to just
empty our garbage can twice a week. EVERYTHING ELSE HAS TO
BE PAID BY THE CITY. THAT'S SAVINGS?
There's a multitude of things which we should consider before
we even contemplate changing over our system. A collection firm
is going.to make money off us. We expect them to. The question
is, what are they going to leave undone to earn that profit, or
'what can we do with our own collection system modifications to
meet or beat the price? We might not want their brand of collec-
tion at any price! ,, .:

U


A "Mr. Goodbar" Was Formerly the Price of Influence With the Girls


WAY BACK WHEN I was in
elementary school,' the asking for
money limit was a nickel, or if,
you were feeling frisky; a dime. I"
remember that I, used to connive
to get a nickel so I' could buy a
Mr. Goodbar to give to the object,
of my interest at the time.
She liked) Mr. Goodbars and,
I liked being on the good side of
that little girl. A Mr. Goodbar
was all that it took.
And a nickel was all it took
to buy a Mr. Goodbar, which, by
the way, was a good deal larger
than the same candy bar is today
for whatever it'costs. I suppose a
nickel today', buys' only the
miniature sized bar of any
candy.
Anyhow, almost all of us
purchased Mr. Goodbars
because they were so much larg-
. er than a Hershey bar, or a Baby
Ruth, or even a Butterfinger.
Then, after we had the Mr.
Goodbar purchased, we would
suck the chocolate from around
the peanuts and eat the choco-


ETAOIN SHRDLU


late covered peanuts all by them-
selves.

A MR. GOODBAR purchased
a lot of influence with the young
ladies when I was a young boy.-
That's why a nickel was the
Scoii of the child;'and anything of
a larger denomination was
unheard of.,
Also,-you could hunt up two
empty Coke bottles and turn
them in for a nickel or raid the
hen's nest, for a couple of eggs
and trade them for a nickel and
, you had finances enough to last
the day. *
Courting was cheap .back


* by Wesley Ramsey


then.
Also, one didn't court at all if
he had an aversion to walking.
Of course morima wouldn't let
me out after dark, so I had smy
style sort of cramped, even with
the purchase ,of a Mr. Goodbar.
To tell the truth, I never got a
candy bar myself so frequently
that I didn't occasionally hope
the object of my affections wasn't
at school that day and I could
eat the Mr. Goodbar myself .

THINGS HAVE CHANGED
however, and kids start their
"asking" at a quarter and are.not
really satisfied with that. They


want a dollar, a fiver or a ten.
Some even carry their own credit
card!
The other' day mfhy.: great.-
granddaughter, who is the ripe
old : age, of two,:, came.,in and
waltzed up to me, saying, "I want
a quarter",., Not a nickel, or a
dime .not even a penny!. She
. wanted a quarter!.
But the :market; seems to
drive these things. She wanted a
quarter because we have a candy
machine in the office which dis-
penses .midget-sized bars of
candy for a quarter.
She ,wanted a quarter .
and she 'got quarter!
She had .a. birthday a few
weeks ago and her great grand-
mother gave her a sack contain-
,ing a number of quarters, but
she has already 'traded all of,
these in for' midget-size candy
bars.

SHE COULD 'HAVE been the
object of'my constant search for


nickels to buy-Mr. Goodbars with
to influence, the sweet young
things if she had come along at
,,an- earlier time, and could have
saved her quarters.
But, come to 'think of it, all
she has to:do now Is- express the
desire -to get a quarter and she
gets it! ,
She doesn't even have to say,
"please"! .
It's become my purpose in
'life to keep a steady supply' of
quarters in my pocket, just in
case she shows up at the .office
'and ,-expresses a' desire, for the
price of acandy bar.
Two dimes and a nickel, or
five nickels,' or 25 pennies won't
'do, you know. It has to be a gen-
uine quarter with Thoirias
Jefferson's likeness in 'elief on
one side and Monticello on the
other side. '

COME TO THINK OF it, kids
haven't changed all that much;
even if the medium of exchailge


has gone. up: from a nickel to a
quarter. The purpose of it. all.,is
-to get 'enoughl-to buy a candy bl~r.
My kids-all of, whom are
. grown now-still have : that
barter attitude. They still look for
a candy bar, or two, when they
come calling. .
For. instance, my. youngest
son was doing some repair work
around the house the .other
week. The job took him several
weeks, working :a couple of hours
now and then.
We had collected a dish full
of miniature candy bars to have
. as a supply for. passing out at
'Trick or Treat' time- The second
'week Alford worked on his pro-
Ject; I noticed the candy dish get-
- ting empty. By the time he' had
finished the carpenter work, 'he
had also finished off the candy
bowl contents.
That repair job cost me all of
my candy stash, but it wvas
cheap at the price. We only 'had
less than $10.00 invested in it'.

afford a landscaping program. So they reduced a sod and grass program
from the project.
They also considered reducing 906 lineal feet of aluminum walkway
covers as an additional point of savings when they were originally notified
their sales tax revenue would not be as great as anticipated. As recently
as Monday, those figures were changed when it was revealed by the State
Department of Revenue that sales tax from a considerable source would
be available-enough to cover the $105,775 cost of the walkways in the t",i
original plans. The board then decided to go ahead with the construction ,4
as drawn, eliminating only the sod and grass item. .
OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS
Superintendent Kelley announced that after examination. all three ik
elementary schools in the county have been accredited bythe-Southern
Association of'Colleges and Schools.
The board approved, unanimously, a change In job description for the
county's speech/language pathologist. Presently, the description calls for
a Ph.D to head up the program, but under new guidelines, a bachelor's
degree in speech/language pathology/communications disorders will be
required from an accredited educational institution. .
The board tentatively ironed out the dates for the various end of
school programs and-graduation, to prevent as many conflicts as possi- "
ble.


Concerned Over Littering,


Dear Wesley Ramsey:
I am very concerned regard-
ing the littering in this county. As
I travel throughout this county, I
see the strangest things on the
side of the road.
As I head to Wewa, on SR 386.
before the Over'street bridge, on
the right side of the road there is
a single size box spring mattress.
About 1/4 mile farther down the
road, there is a single size mat-
tress! Go about another 1/2 mile,
and on the left side of the road,
you will find a refrigerator. These
few things don't include all of the.
garbage bags, beer cans, and
other stuff.
What are these people, who
are throwing things of their cars
and trucks, thinking of?
After Hurricane Georges,
Wetapo Creek at Creek View
Estates flooded, and in my back
yard I now have a refrigerator,
freezer, bed frame, couch, and
several toys and junk on the edge
of my pond, which is on the edge,
of the creek.
Who is responsible for clean-
ing up this stuff? Why are these
people who are responsible for
this littering, not charged and
prosecuted?
Everyday, Gulf County
Sheriffs officers and the sheriff
himself drive by this stuff. Why
isn't anything being done? Who


do we call about this problem?
Are' the County Commissioners
the people we need to speak with?
But most important, the residents
of Gulf County need to take pride
intheir county and stop litteringll
These people sure take pride; in
their trucks
Sincerely,
Jo Leslie-Hagan

A Loss to Our
Community
Dear Wesley,
Please allow me a few lines of
your paper to express an'opinion
concerning a mutual acquain-
tance, Ms. Gloria Ramsey. For the
last six years, it has been my
pleasure to have her as my secre-
tary at the courthouse. On
November 13 she is moving to
Orlando. Not only is this a great.
loss to me and our department, it
is also the loss of a wonderful per-
son in our community.
I would like to.encourage her
many friends to give her a call
before she leaves town. She can
be reached at work at 229-9110
and at home at 229-6808.
Thank You,
/s/ Larry Wells

Garbage/Trash

-from Page 1
.board would consider stopping
the city's recycling program dur-
ing Its next meeting. The city
would continue picking up
garbage as usual, but residents
would no longer have to separate
their recyclables.
Public Works Superintendent
Terry McDaniel estimates it
would probably cost less to pay
for the disposal of the extra
garbage generated, than it does to
run the recycling program.
Another savings to the city would
be not having to furnish garbage
bags for recycling, which current-
ly cost 818,000 per year.
One major concern men-
tioned was the loss of jobs.
Commissioner David Horton
pointed out to the board, "We've
got enough unemployment in
Port St. Joe now. I would hate to
see any more loss of jobs."
Eight people currently man
the garbage collection system.
Two could be filtered Into the
PublicWorks Department, and
Waste Management said they
would have one position open in
the city, which would leave five
employees in a questionable posi-
tion.
The board decided to further
review Waste Management's pro-
posal and contract, further evalu-
ate its cost to continue the ser-
vice, and further discuss the mat-
ter in weeks to come.
Other Matters Addressed
4Commissioners decided to
go out for bids to furnish insur-
ance to city employees, after
being advised of a 22% increase
in premium cost from Blue Cross

S Eric Ramsey took a nice deer from
S Gulf County lands.
November 14th opens quail,
gray squirrel, :and the second
phase of dove season. Some of the
S" quail habitat is still under water,

a feather hunting should be even better than
the first. Cooler temperatures
north have started migratory birds
our way and more crops have been
harvested providing more feed and
areas to hunt.
Fresh water fishing has really
1fl picked up. Jack Wingate from Lake
Seminole says specks in the 2 to 2-


1/2 lb. range have become steady.
The creeks are providing limits for
fishermen. using minnows along
channels in eight feet of water.
Chris Hasty from Shiner Diner
on Dead Lakes also says the
specks have really ,turned on.
Again, using minnows along the
deep channel edges is producing
limits of big slabs.
Offshore from our beaches is
still producing good grouper when
the weather allows. Red snapper
fishing closed November 1 and
ended one of the best red snapper
years in memory.
Very few kings or Spanish have
been caught recently, but area
charter boat captains. don't feel
they've completely left the area.
Abundant bait is still near shore
and around the cape, so the mack-
erel should still be around'for a
while.
Inshore fishing should focus
on the bays. creeks, and rivers. As
the temperatures continue to fail.
the trout and redlish move into
these areas. Presnell's reports good
catches of both. Many of the trout
are averaging 4 lbs. or better.

PATIENT COUNSELING
WHAT IS IT?

Today's drugs have become so complex that it is
often necessary to tell or caution you more about
your prescription than is possible to put on the
* label. Certain foods that should not be eaten, other
drugs that should not be taken at the same time,
how long the medicine will retain its potency. These
are just a few of the many things we might have to
explain.

We are always reviewing new data that we receive
* about the many drugs we stock. It is our professional

Special Literacy
Project in Need of
Tutoring Volunteers
Gulf County, along with
Holmes, Jackson, Calhoun, and
Liberty counties, has formed a
partnership with the Panhandle
Public Library Cooperative
System, headquartered in
Marianna, to oversee an exciting
new literacy project.
The project name is Library
Family Learning Services, a grant
funded by the Library Services
and Technology Act (LSTA) and
the State Library. The project will
focus on children in first, second
and third grade who are at risk in
their reading abilities, and their
parents, or caregivers.
During the school year, the
program will deal mainly with the
caregivers, helping them with
basic skills, such as child devel-
opment, parenting, working with
the school and teachers, being
their child's advocate, and
employability skills (as appropri-
ate).
For 10 weeks, the summer
programming will consist of chil-
dren and their caregivers being
involved in pre-literacy, and early
literacy education based on
award-winning children's litera-
ture. Cultural learning will be
integrated with storytelling and
9w reading.
Project activities and objec-
tives will be accomplished in each
county, by a local coordinator,
:one VISTA volunteer and 10 .
community literacy volunteers.
Paula Boone will be the literacy .
coordinator for Gulf County.
Call the library in Port St Joe
at 229-8879, or the library in
Wewahitchka at 639-2419, if you
would like to volunteer for tutor-
ing in this program. Training will
be setup in eachcounty and they
hope to start very soon..

Rotary Club Hears of Ducks Unlimited's Role In Rejuvenation


Around the turn of the centu-
ry, the skies were black with
migrating ducks, but not any-
more. Changing styles of living
and increased agricultural use of
former northern wetlands have
reduced the nesting areas of
waterfowl to the danger point of
perpetuating the species. Actually
some species have all but van-
ished.
This information was revealed
to the Rotary Club last week by
Harold Quackenbush, local chair-
man for Ducks Unlimited, an
organization dedicated to raising
money to aidthe nesting habits of
the waterfowl and lease property
to be used solely for nesting
areas.
"The St. Marks Wildlife
Refuge once supported an annual


population of migrating geese.
Today, there are no geese visiting
the area," Quackenbush revealed,
as an example of vanishing
wildlife. "The Apalachicola River
and Bay once supported hordes of
migrating waterfowl, but today
they have practically vanished,"
Quackenbush revealed.
The speaker said local popu-
lations of waterfowl have begun to
reappear, due to the efforts of
Ducks Unlimited.
He said it takes an organiza-
tion such as Ducks Unlimited, to
assist in securing nesting
grounds. "Waterfowl breed and
nest in the Canadian prairie and
the federal government cannot
spend money in a foreign nation.
to assist in preserving the nesting
grounds, so DU has poured Sl. 1


billion into the project."
"Locally, wood ducks have
been encouraged to nest and'
breed through a program which
builds: duck boxes and puts them
up throughout the woodlands,"
Quackenbush said, "Causing the
wood ducks to make a comeback
in the area."
"All waterfowl are beginning
to reappear because of DU's
efforts to preserve and reestablish
nesting and feeding places
: throughout Canada and the
United States," the speaker said.
Locally the Ducks Unlimited
organization sponsors a dinner
and auction once each year for
supporters of wildlife, especially
" waterfowl. They promoted a ban-
quet meeting, just two weeks ago,
which raised some $28,000 for

Disaster Assistance From FEMA/State Exceeds $12 Million


In the first month since the
disaster declaration for Hurricane
Georges, more than S12 million in
aid has been approved for
Floridians, Federal Coordinating
Officer Paul Fay, Jr. of FEMA said
today.
More than half of the total
allocation to date-more than
$7.1 million-has been approved


for temporary housing and funds
for minor repairs to make a house
habitable. Low interest Small
Business Administration disaster
loans accounted for $3,691,000,
and another S1.2 million was
approved in individual and family
grants for necessary expenses for
persons who were unable to qual-
ify for a loan from the SBA.


During the first 30 days fol-
lowing the declaration that made
residents and businesses eligible
for federal/state assistance for
disaster-related damages or loss-
es, 14.849 have registered with
FEMA for help.
Twelve counties are eligible,
for individual assistance, and 17


counties are able to apply for help
with disaster related damages for
losses to public facilities, debris
removal, repair or replacement of
roads and bridges, emergency
services, and damage aid for eligi-
ble private, non-profit agencies.
Gulf County received S5.010
for- temporary housing and S672
for individual and family grants.


the purpose of encouraging the
perpetuation of the species.
Each year for the last 20
years, Ducks Unlimited has spon-
sored an annual banquet and


auction for this purpose.
"Waterfowl hunters are beginning
to see positive results from their
efforts," Quackenbush said, as he
ended his talk.

Character Educatio

Gets Right to the Core of Students In


Gulf County students are
going to learn their ABC's as well
as their CV's. CV's mean core val-
ues, and for Gulf County elemen-
tary school students that means
not only knowing how to read,
write and compute, but also how
to be a responsible, honest citizen
of this community.
The state of Florida mandates
that students be taught the
Holocaust and grades nine
through 12 will be provided learn-


ing opportunities on that topic.
However, according to Sara
Joe Wooten, Gulf County Director
of Curriculum and Human
Resources, "We must provide the
younger students with opportuni-
ties to learn and practice appreci-
ation and respect for others.
These children are too young for
the reality of the Holocaust. We
can, however, instill in them toler-
ance and responsibility to prepare
them for Holocaust education at a


less tender age."
To meet this challenge
Wooten and Minnie. Likely, princi-
pal of Highland View Elementary,
joined forces to develop a plan of
action to begin implementation of
character education at the ele-
mentary school level. The plan
includes a "Checklist of Core
Values" which will be sent to
School Advisory Committees, fac-
ulty and staff at all schools and to
community organizations.
Participants will check five
core values which are the most
important for youngsters to learn.
After tallying these responses,:
Wooten and Likely will begin
developing learning activities for'
reinforcing these values.
The five values identified
through this checklist will be
assigned to the Pre-K through,
grade five areas for concentration.
Each grade will have one area to
focus on for the entire year. As
these young students move
through the Gulf County system,
each year will build a core value.
With activities which bring.,
community values to the students'
and among home, school and
"community, Gulf County young-.
sters will gain not only the knowl-
edge needed in the next millenni-
um, but the values needed to pre-
serve family, community and
country.
Cast your ballot!
Members of the community
can.vote on which values should
be included. The values listed are:
caring, courage, fairness, hon-
esty. respect, responsibility, cour-
tesy, generosity, gratitude, patrio-
tism, service, tolerance. coopera-
tion. self-control, ambition, loyal-
ty. and others (list).

Minnie Likely's advice might
help in making a decision. She
says, "Think of the five most
important things your children
needed to learn from you before
they entered school. Those are
probably the most important
things they need to continue to
learn."

MEDITATIONS OF A ---
Counntr ilrgajcIrn

By LOWELL F. ADAMS

No Other God
"Thou shalt have no
other gods before
me.
-Exodus 20:3

T OR WHO IS OUR REAL GOD? The God of
Heaven and Earth, the Creator of everything, including,
you and me, wants to, and demands, He have FIRST
PLACE in the thinking and affairs of His children.
Do we sometimes place too much importance on our
material possessions, and sort of lose sight of our
Heavenly Father in the process?
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
nor 'any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or is
in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve
them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love
me and keep my commandments." Exodus 20:4-6.
In-this day, you and I do not make idols to wor-
ship, as many did in Biblical times. But we do,
sometimes worship "idols" of.a different kind.
With some, their idol is their occupation, or
business, With others, it might be recreational ac-
tivities. With most Americans today, it seems our
god is money. Note the vainly extravagant salaries
.being paid in the entertainment and sporting world,
and also in many industrial and governmental posi-
tions. Even the "church" is not immune. The air-
waves are crowded with appeals for money by "ser-
vants of God", who seem to ignore God's many
Scri'ptural promises to materially bless those who
serve Him.
Is the Lord our God? Or do we put something
else in first place? Jesus tells us the First and
Greatest Commandment,is "To love God with all
our heart, and with 'all ourr soui, and with all our,
mind." Matthew 22:37.,
In this worldly flurry of avarice and greed, may
you and I manage to keep our eyes upon Jesus, our
Lord, and always keep God in First Place!

Of all the

smoking can do '.i.
to your body,,'
this ...one is
probably the
most shocking
and unheard of
.. Impotence.
Or to'be exact, erectile dysfun'c-
tion. Why haven't we heard of

This is not just another "so0,
So", "kinda sorta"- experimental
Fact. It is proven. The 60 Minutes
feature showed, Dr C. Carlson.
chairman of'' the Urology
Department at the University of
'North Carolina,- based' lis find-
,ings ron a study conducted by
the American Medical
Association (A.M.A.) Med a.,
The results of.the study were
amazing. It found that if you
smoke, or have been exposed to,.,
a large amount of secondhand.
smoke, you are twice as likely to
experience early impotency,
than those who don't -smoke. '
How does this happen? Well,
it's as simple, as how smoking
effects, your lungs and heart.
The toxins in tobacco damage
blood vessels; thus allowing lim--
ited blood flow. Since an erec-
tion requires increased blood
flow, the decrease in circulation
results in erectile dysfunction.
This can precede heart trouble.
So, if you are :.experiencing'
problems, get them checked out
by your doctor.' Your symptoms
may lead td a more serious dis-
ease. .
You may be thinking at this
point that the new wonder drug
"Viagra" can keep you safe from
this problem. Viagra is less like-
ly to help if the problem is due
to decreased circulation caused
by the changes in the blood ves-
sels. '
There is still hope. The soon-
er you quit the greater your
chance of reducing the risk of
early erectile dysfunction.
So next time you light up,
even it's too late for you; think
about how your son's future
may be hindered by your second
hand smoke.
