Time to "Fish or Cut Bait"

PSJ Board Not Happy With Grant Writers' Script


- -* Port St. Joe city-commission-
ers didn't make any bones about
it during their regular meeting
Tuesday evening, they are not
happy with the services of newly
hired grant writers Summit
Professional Services, Inc. (of
Tallahassee).
Mayor Frank Pate brought up
the subject when he explained to
the board that the firm's repre-
sentative had proposed writing a
grant for the city. But, the repre-
sentative added that there was no
money In the grant for his firm, so
the board would have to ante up
before the grant wi-iting work
could be done.
This did not settle well with
the board, since part of Summit's


proposal 'was td do grant- writing'
at no cost to the city until they
successfully procured the grant.
Pate turned the S70,000
grant application over to Ralph
Roberson, chairman of the
Centennial Building Restoration
Committee, for the group to apply
for the funds themselves on
behalf of the city. Commissioners
then turned the fire up on
Summit. .
Commissioner Damon McNair
told the board he would personal-
ly like to see if the city could get
the contract with the firm nulli-
fied. Mayor Pate asked Board
Attorney Billy Joe Rish about the
legalities of doing that.
Rish pointed out that the


Royal American Construction Co. crews are busy at work installing new sewer lines at Mexico Beach.

Mexico Beach Sewer Project Well Underway


The Mexico Beach sewer pro-
ject is underway and in the way.
Traffic is being slowed and
stopped all along the beaches-
first through Beacon Hill due to
road repairs, and how, additional-
ly, all the way to Tyndall as Bay.
County improves the waste water


treatment system of its farther
reaches.

Currently, the tractors and
piles of earth surround the laying
of sewer line on the south side of
Highway 98, and the soon-to-be
main sewer line along the north


side of Tyndall Parkway.
The workers will sweat
through the brunt of the summer
and on into December, Mexico
Beach City. Manager Frank Healy
predicts. However, the primary lift
station on Canal Parkway is
already almost complete.


s'bbard does not currently- h.ve, a
contract with the firm. He noted
that the terms of the contract
have been presented to the com-
pany and they have verbally
agreed to them. but they have not
signed and returned the docu-
ments to date-approximately two
months after being awarded the
job.
Rish further explained that
the contract has provisions for
either party to get out within two
months of the date the contract is
signed, but he felt the city was
currently in position to discontin-
ue the contract. "They have
already not done what they said

Urn Brings Ashes
Ashore on Cape
San Blas Beach
While patrolling the beach at
Cape San Bias last Thursday,
Deputy Chris Buchanan hap-
pened upon a sealed cremation
urn which had apparently
washed ashore.
The urn had, ah engraved
plate with the name Jackie
Elizabeth Slack and date of death
being January, 1998, for burial at
sea in Homosassa.
The Sheriffs Department
investigated but was unable to
obtain any information on the
deceased.
Exhausting all other avenues,
Captain Joe Nugent opened the
urn to find a business card and
permit number from the
Homosassa Crertiatorium..
With a telephone call to the
crematorium, Captain Nugent
was put in contact with the
deceased's husband who was,
heedless to say, quite shocked to
learn the urn had washed ashore.
Captain Nugent mailed the
urn back to Mr. Slack to do with
however he sees fit.
Rep. Boyd's Delegate
to Visit Port St. Joe
A member of U. S. Rep. Allen
Boyd's :(D-North Florida) staff, will
be in Port St. Joe on the third
Friday of every month so that the
people of Gulf County will have
the opportunity to discuss, in per-
son, issues which concern them.
A representative of Rep.
Boyd's staff will be at the Gulf
County Courthouse in the down-
stairs conference room from 9:00
a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET on Friday,
July 16th.


City Could Increase in Size 10 Fold

Port St. Joe city commissioners reviewed a proposal by Mayor
Frank Pate to annex approximately 10 times the current city
acreage.
Mayor Pate told the board he has presented the concept to the
St. Joe Company and is awaiting word as to whether they would
be agreeable to a friendly merger of surrounding property into the
city limits.
The map above depicts an area that would run along the Gulf
County Canal as its northern boundary, encompasses three sec-
tion lines west of Port St. Joe, and extends south to the section
line near Jones Homestead.
There are several areas of property that do not belong to the
St. Joe Company that would have to be considered separately. if
r s the plans move forward. Those property owners and the city would
have to mutually agree before the areas might also be considered
; for annexation.
.,/ The city hopes to soon hear from Chris Hine, Vice President of
i Commercial and Industrial Development for St. Joe Company. on
the company's response to the proposal.



No Answer Yet



On FCPC's Plans


Early last month (June), it
was announced that laid off mill
workers and local businesses
should be getting some word early
in July on the fate of Florida
Coast Paper Company's idle mill.
It looks as though that
announcement will probably be a
little later than that expected date
in coming.
As mentioned in the June 3rd
edition of The Star. Florida Coast
Paper Company's plans will have
to be made in conjunction and
"with the approval of the Delaware
bankruptcy court as they work
out the specifics of Chapter 11
reorganizational bankruptcy pro-
ceedings filed by the company.

Hope to Have an
Answer This Month
,,Those proceedings are sched-
uled. to take place during the
month of July, but It will probably
be the latter part of the month.
Union officials, mill represen-
tatives, bond holders, Gulf
County officials, the City of Port
St. Joe, arid even various state
agencies have been taking *an
active role in working out a
restructuring plan that would
help make the mill's operations as
competitive as possible in today's
marketplace.
Gulf County has led the state
In the unemployment rate for
close to a year as the entire
community has waited for an
answer on the direction the mill
would go. It is no secret that sev-
eral small businesses are hanging
on by the skin of their teeth, espe-
cially those which received riajor
economic support directly from
business with the riill.
Some local leaders have esti-
mated that as many as one-fouith
of the approximately 550 fonrme
workers have already left the area
for new jobs.
In a recent conversation, local
union president John Reeves told
The Star that he felt labor has
done its part in an effort toward
getting the local mill up and run-
ning, and is in hopeful anticipa-
tion of a resolution of the remain-
ing necessary components.

Marina Changes
Plans...Slightly
The Port St. Joe Marina
Grand Opening Gala, in all its
highly anticipated glory will still
occur on July 24, but with a little
less flash.
Unfortunately, due to conflict-
ing commitments, Governor Jeb
Bush and Tyndall Air Force Base
Jets will not be able to attend.
However, local public officials;
state agency representatives, as
well as those from St. Joe/Arvida
and Brandy Marine are expected.
Activities will begin Saturday
morning at 10:00 a.m. (ET) with
music, food, demonstrations, and
a variety of boats-big, small, old,
and newl .
The official ribbon cutting is
scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET.


He holds a positive feeling
about the ongoing negotiations
and prospects for future opera-
tions of the mill.
Many others remain in train-
ing for new careers through vari-
ous assistance grants and pro-
grams. but some of those funds
are scheduled to end within the
next 30 to 60 days. if an extension
Isn't received or the mill does not
reopen.
As one laid off mill worker
stated recently. _We just want an
answer so we can get on with our
lives." Hopefully. that answer will
be forthcoming sometime this
month.

PSJ Taking Look at Annexation












The Star

PAGE TWO *,THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1999;


Welcome to



Gulf, Nek ton

You'll Find This a Fine Place to Do

Your Particular Kind of Business
WELL; WELCOME TO NEKTON shipbuilding and diving
cruise operations to the Gulf County community. It couldn't be a
more timely arrival, or needed financial shot in the arm.
Congratulations, also,. to the Port St. Joe-Gulf County
Chamber of Commerce for attracting such an operation. We cer-
tainly don't want to forget the part our county commission and
other government officials played in this acquisition, either.
Everyone who played a role in securing this firm is to be con-
gratulated. The positive announcement came at a time when we
desperately, needed a boost in morale. With the decision by
TeleMed to take its marbles elsewhere, after stringing us along for
six months, it was a needed and welcome word.
NEKTON'S ANNOUNCEMENT MAKES use of a resource
which is right under our nose and largely ignored-our proximity,
to the ocean. It's one resource which every other community does-
n't have. On a: recent 'trip to. Atlanta, Ga., we noticed that every,
community large or small, country or urban, had its "industrial
park", but every community didn't have our accessibility to the
seven seas.. ,.
We're unique!
We have been unique since time began. Reading an article the.
other day, we came across reasons why the vicinity of Port St. Joe
attracted interest from the time of discovery by the Spanishi
explorers. We have the only one of two deep water ports in Florida
for miles. Pensacola has the other. We're a natural for develop-
ment. ,
THIS COUP IS ALSO THE FIRST feather in the cap of our
fledgling combined economic development committee, working
with our more veteran Chamber of Commerce. This should spur
along their spirits and make them even more confident of their
abilities and efforts.
Thliis development committee is made up of ordinary citizens,
working with the professionals of the chamber and government,
using the expertise of both to the best advantage of our county.
We're still waiting bn a final decision of certain state designa-
tions to come about, making the project more palatable.
Meanwhile, while we're waiting, St. Joe Corporation, owner of
Nekton's future location, isn't setting idly by. They have arranged
for clearing of the site so it will be ready for development in
September, the proposed starting date for the firm to begin build-
ing.


A Second Thought

THE-PROPOSED C.A.R.L. PURCHASE of Gulf County wet-
lands under the umbrella of preserving precious wetlands causes
us to have mixed feelings for Gulf County's future tax base.
We're all for preserving wetlands and conserving our precious
way of life, but we're leery of what happens to certain properties,
once the state agencies obtain ownership. It's rarely to our eco-
nomic benefit when these agencies become interested in property.
The land adjacent to the rivers which flow through Gulf County
are a good example of what we're talking about. The state agen-
cies became interested in. and acquired several thousands of
acres of river bottom lanids and made' them virtually un-usable by
people. They were fenced out, pushed out and kept out.
NOT ONLY WERE THEY EVICTED from the lands in .the
name of preservation, but this acreage came off the tax rolls"and
nothing was to replace its revenue to the county or our schools.
We have on]lya finite amount of land and when any of it is taken
from the mainstream, we're just left without that much:
Surely, special requirements could, be placed against the lands
in question, so it could be kept in production. Special require-
ments are necessary for the use of other shorelands. why not
these wetlands? We've managed to protect them thus far. We're
even organized a special committee to protect our bay. on our
own. Let's at least consider an alternative use for our wetlands
before we roll over and play dead. losing its productivity, forever!


Hunker Down With Kes by Kesley Colbert


i Deal of a Lifetime


The first time I proposed to my
wife she couldn't stop laughing,
"Button your shirt, comb you're
hair," she managed to blurt out-
between gales, "climb down off the
horse, get rid of that silly club, put-
some shoes ori and we'll talk."
I was undeterred. But the sec'-
ond time I did try to pick a spot
that would force her to give me an
answer, "Get up off your knees and-
get back in this car," I was begin-'
ning to detect a trend here, "the,
light has turned green-we're"
holding up traffic-they're blowing,
horns, get in the car now!"
The next time we were at the'
swimming pool. "Cathy, I'm going
under the water and I'm not com-.,
ing up 'til you say yes." I took a.
deep breath-"Just tap me on the'
shoulder whenyou have decided."
I took another deep breath-"Now,,

through a collective effort of most
of the good people of Port St. Joe,
the AN Railroad, St. Joe Paper
Company and others too numer-
ous to mention, we managed to
keep everything running.

THAT FIRST MONTH we
were in business here-Novem-
ber, 1952-we did a total of $800
worth of business. At that rate we
wouldn't be here much after, the
month of December, 1952.


You good folks rallied around

was still wet behind the ears,' but

still well and' fondly remembered.
They made the early days
possible, which saw us into 'the
latter days in fairly good shape.

WE HOPE WE have made a
difference in the life of Port St.
Joe, by our'having come this way.
It has been our desire that we do
so.
If we're remembered in any
manner, we hope it is that "He

Need to Start
The Editor: -
My husband and I have
recently moved to Gulf County
from Gainesville. FL. Though we
are new residents, we have been
coming to this area for nearly
venty years, drawn by the natur-
beauty. the accessibility of one
of the nation's .most beautiful
beaches and the quiet pace of life
here. When we learned that we
would be moving to this, area, we
looked' at' living in Panama City
(for about 15 minutes) but decid-
ed that Gulf County offeredd the'
'quality of life we desired for our-
selves and our young daughter.

Good Neighbor
Dear Editor,
While fishing last week out of
the Hide-a-Way boat ramp, I did a
dumb thing. .
'After a great day of fishing,
my 23' Robalo, I 'came in, loaded
my boat and pulled across the
street to check everything on my
boat out.'
SIn my rush, I left myl wallet
arid 2 quarters on the hood of my
:Blazer. Heading back home to
Blountstown, I, got to. the
Overstreet bridge and noticed, 2
quarters on my hood. Oh no!
Mark, you didn't! I did.
1I drove back Iooking at every-
'thiig on the highway from dead
Tfrogs to pifiecones.
No luck. I was sick. $209 was
a lot but all my credit cards and
'driver's license. A nightmare.
'Dejected, I: drove, back home,
came into my house and saw the
answering machine blinking. I hit
play and Officer Scott Silva from
Mexico Beach' said a gentleman
ihad found my wallet All the cred-
4it cards and $209 still there! I
-sank to my knees with prayer.
David Gainous from Port St.
Joe had seen $20 bills flying
across the Highway (98) and
'stopped. Money' was everywhere.
SHe could have kept it all but did
what he knew was right and
turned it all in to the police.
What an honest man.
I sent his whole family out on
a night on the town on me.
Thank you David!
Mark Nolton
P.S. David is a hero. He is also
a mechanic and I believe you
could trust him!


Planning Now
Gulf County is an area on the
verge of dramatic change. Recent
articles in both The Star and the
Panama City News-Herald fore-
shadow what these changes could
mean for the residents of Port St.
Joe. the Beaches and Cape San
Bias.
An editorial in May by News-
Herald editor, "Bjorny", cautioned
Bay Countians to be informed
and vocal in directing the hnew
growth coming to their area.-A A
later news story reported on the.
problems faced iii Walton County
in relation to private beaches and
public law enforcement of access
to those beaches.
The Star recently published
an article, on the ac-quisition of
coastal lar'ds by the state.to pre-
serve the ever diminishing public
access. These pieces have strong
implications for Gulf countians,
too.
Change and development of
this last vestige of 'old Floi-da' is
inevitable. Many aspects of that
change will be welcome. An influx
of new' residents will bring new
businesses, an expanded tax base
and more job. opportunities for
local' residents. .However, develop-
ment will bring challenges and
problems for citizens and, local
government as well.
How will Gulf County deal
with the demands on existing ser-
vices such as police and 'fire/res-
cue? What resources are available
to help meet expanding demands
on local health care? :How will the
county accommodate dramatic
increases .in,,solid waste collec-
tion?.
Can. development along major
roads be designed to allow safe,
smooth flow. of traffic? How can
we assure that low and middle
income families will not be priced
out of the housing market (e.g. St.
George Island and Apalachicola)?
Above all, how will .we ensure the
preservation of one of the most
beautiful bodies of water in North
Florida-St. Joseph Bay?
As the St. Joe Company
begins to change the face of Gulf
County forever, we should be con-
fronting these questions and
searching for solutions. County
commissioners should be in-
formed and active in understand-
ing what St. Joe/Arvida has
planned for this area well in
advance of implementation.
Opportunity should be pro-


for Future
vided for public comment and
input from services and cormnu-
niUes that will be affected by
growth. Similar communities
such as the Destin/Ft. Walton
Beach area should be examined
to help understand what the pit- i
falls of unrestricted, undirected
growth can be.
The years ahead will be ones
of great change and opportunity
for Port St. Joe and Gulf County.
I only hope the citizens and their
elected representatives will be
active in helping to direct that
growth so that it benefits all the
residents of.this area.

Damaged Headstone
Dear Sir,
Sometime in early May of this
year, a grave was damaged in
Jehu Cemetery in Wewahitchka.
The headstone was knocked over
which caused it to fall forward
and crack both slabs. Someone
then used machinery to set the
headstone back' up and this
resulted in scratches to the head-
stone. The grave is located on the
:back road on the curve, on the
right side of the cemetery, and is
the grave of Robert Nowell.
The Sheriffs Office has been
inveAtigating this case but has no
leads. The funeral' homes, vault
and monument companies -and
the City of Wewahitchka have all
been contacted to try and deter-
mine how this: happened; howev-
er, no one has knowledge of how
this happened.
We feel that this was an acci-
dent and that someone may have
witnessed the incident. If anyone
has any knowledge of this situa-'
tion, please contact the family. We
have been advised, that to repair
the damage will cost about the
same price as the original cost.
The family does not have the
money to restore the headstone
and slabs to their original condi-
tion. The family member resting
in this grave site was a very spe-
cial person and dearly loved by
the family. Any help will be great-
ly appreciated. Thank you.
The Nowell Family

"Same Time, Next Year".
"Same Time, Next Year" fol-
lows an unusual love affair

The project was started in the

to problems with a sprinkler

April of this year, the hospital

Best Blast on the Beach


Mexico Beach blasted itself
into another record-breaking
Independence Day. Canal Park
was the focal point for this two-
day celebration.
The festivities began with a
Sandy Shoest5k Walk-Run. In the
men's division, Clint Wallace took
top honors followed by Daniel
Howell and Ben Wallace. In the
women's division, Lori Mote took
first followed by Marie Howell and
Wanda Cahill. Jacob Howell, six,
took first place in the children's
division.
A spirited children's fishing
contest had two large flounder
competing for top honors. Young
Kelley Roberts, assisted by her
granddad, Tom Driggers, pulled
in a whopping 22 1/2-inch floun-
der. With what appeared to be an
unbeatable fish, young Roberts
watched the other 34 anglers fish.
Nick Hunter, assisted by
George Hunter, awed the crowd
when he pulled in a 26 1/2-inch
flounder to take the first place
trophy. Lindsay Hosey's 13-inch
whiting took third place.
A juried art contest awarded
Mexico Beach resident, June
Combs, with "Best of Show."
Carrabelle's Josefa Benavides
took top honors in the 2-D com-
petition with the oil painting,
" "Quincy Landscape." Another
Carrabelle resident, Ethelle Nich-
olson won best in 3-D with her
shell craft wreath, "Small Things
from the Sea."
John Arnold took first place
in the Mayors' Cup Sailboat Race
and set a new record time in this
event.
In the sand sculpture contest,
the 12-and-under winner was the
Kings, "Octopus" followed by the
Sellers' "Sea Turtle" and Dustin
McPherson's "Drip Castle." In the


Burkhart's "Castle With Moat"


13-and-under division, the Burk-
harts' "Castle with Moat" took top
honors followed by the Jack-
son/Krause team's "Tropical
Beach Scene," and the Sharks,
entry, "Shark Attack."
The mixed group division had
the defending champions, Harris'
"Star Wars" as, winners. The
Seitz's "Mermaid" and the
Hillards' "Alligator" followed suit.
A yo-yo and trick kite flying exhi-
bition rounded out the daytime
festivities.
As dusk settled over the
beaches, the holiday crowd was
entertained by Panama City's
Gray and Blue's Jazz Band fea-
turing Kathy Swinberg. The mel-
low sounds were in perfect har-


mony as the gentle waves provid-
ed back ground rhythm. Special
surprise guest singers, Tom Higgs
and wife, provided an evening to
remember.
Then the,"Best Blast on the
Beach" ooohed and aaahed the
several thousand beach. visitors
with a:fireworks display shot from
a barge anchored in the emerald
green waters. Master! Shooter,
Chris Besch, and Classic
Fireworks by Events, Inc. provid-
ed the best display along the gulf.
Congratulations go to the

lies a fun-filled, safe 4th of July

Local Woodcarver Wins Worldwide Art Competition in Switzerland


Painstakingly applying a
straight blade to wood, Tom God-
win has amazed and intrigued the
public with his intricately detailed
knick-knacks and strangely alive
features that are characteristic of
his carvings.
For 32 years. Godwin has
carved, predominantly for plea-
sure, and occasionally for busi-
nesses like The Tradin' Post at
Cape San Blas.
Through a coincidental chain
of events, Tom has been recog-
nized world-wide for his talent,
winning first place in the Con-
gress of International Artists
Tournament, free-style division.
Tom's lucky story begins in
December of 1998, when the Sec-
retary of the. Congress, David
Smith, and his family visited Cape
San Blas and noticed a figure
carved out of a cypress knee that
Tom had created for ,The Tradin'
Post. Smith was so taken by it
that he tracked Tom down and
inquired about buying some of his
work. Smith also suggested that
he enter his work in the United
States/Florida division of the con-
test. Tom thanked him, but clear-
ly expressed that he had no inter-
est in that matter. He then offered
a different solution: "He said, 'I'll


i
- "> ::, r'

do all the legwork, you sign the
affidavit and we'll split the win-
nings." Tom reveals, "I really did-
n't think much of it."
The family soon returned to
their home in Missouri, but Smith
could not get the wooden likeness
out of his mind. He called Tom
again to inform him that he had
the papers to be submitted and he
(Smith) was prepared to enter
Tom's work. This plea struck a
chord, with Tom and he decided
that he would enter the state con-
test on his own.
Placing third in state, he qual-
ified to be one of the 12 finalists
that would represent the nation at
the judging in Basil, Switzerland.
Tom's sculpture was placed in
a. category according to the
method it was carved. His was
made with simply a straight edge
blade' and a bit of creativity. The
figure also met the 16.5 inch
height limit. The category was free
style.
"Free style is just a fancy
name for whitflin'," he reveals.
Tom's figure of 'The Three
Travelers" was one of 100 entries
from around the world, in his cat-
egory, that made it to their
nation's finals, and yet he took
first place by storm.

love it. It isn't exactly a lucrative'
business."
Nonetheless, Tom received a
monetary reward along with an
"asundry of carving stuff' and a
plaque, which was shipped to him
from overseas. All the winners,
were given the opportunity to auc-'.
tion their winning piece to a cast-',,
ing company, which would make
a mold of the piece and reproduce'
it in mass quantities, ultimately
reducing its value. Tom declined,;
stating that he wanted to "keep it.,
in the family".
Since the win, a casting com-,
pany from New York has contact- ;
ed him directly offering to buy the,.
work. Tom is still not interested;
"I'll be darned if I .am gonna turn


time with his art. He envisions
creating a special line of pieces
made especially for commercial
use, at that time.
A few years ago, a carving in a
large tree stump at the Dead
Lakes earned Tom a feature in the
book Ripley's Believe. It Or Not, to
his amazement. "To this day, I
don't know how Ripley got a hold
of that," Tom says.
The only clue in this mystery
is an obscure credit mentioned in
the article to a man cited to live in
Lynn Haven.
Looking back at his accom-
plishments, Tom gets a sentimen-
tal tone in his voice when he
speaks, of his artistic inspiration,
a high school english teacher by
the name of Jean Webb.

Pictured here are three of Tom Godwin's creations. The cen-
ter figure of "Three Travelers" earned first place in its division
in a worldwide artwork contest.


Lieutenant Tom Godwin
"It's funny. I barely made
third in the state here, but in the
S whole world I won first!" says
Tom.
-' Baffled by hi qccomplish-
ment, Tom is also reluctant to dis-
cuss his actual winnings. He
states, "I don't want anybody to
think that you should do this
because you are going to get a lot
of money. I worked 30-some-odd
years to get where I amn, because I

around and give It to somebody,"
Tom says in defense of his deci-
sion.
The contest is held every four
years by the Congress in Switzer-
land. It includes three categories:
true-life form, nature, and free-
style. Free style is the only catego-
ry where the tool used is restrict-
ed to a simple straight edge. The
jury views the artwork and makes
its decision throughout a four-
month process. Tom was notified
in April that his piece had made In
to the top 25. Then again it May,
he learned it had reached number
one of the top 10.
Tom currently is Lieutenant
in charge of criminal Investigatlon
at the Gulf County Sheriffs
Department. where he has served
15 years.
As his retirement nears. he
looks forward to spending more


At Earnest Ford High School
in, Escambia County, this teacher
set, aside classtime for what was
then seen as "unconventional"-
artwork. She required her stu-
dents to do artistic projects in her
english class. Tom says. "That
creativity she brought out is what
inspired me to do all this."
Another prompt for his cho-
sen artistic medium comes from
his experiences while stationed in
Alaska, during his time in the Air


Force.
"In '67 I was stationed in
Alaska and I watched the eskimos
carve the ice-that's where I got
the carving part from," Tom says.
Tom and his wife, Pat, are
upstanding citizens of Wewahitch-
ka. He frequently visits the Dead


Lakes, which lie on the edges of
Wewahitchka, where he analyzes:
the cypress knees',and stumps';'
and envisions forms in their
grain. Now, his talent has earned.
the admiration of an audience
that extends from the boundaries
of Gulf County, all the way to the
edge of the globe.


Tom takes cypress knees, like the ones above, from around
boat docks, puts them through a detailed cleansing process, and
carves the image that that shape portrays.

kids down to the beaches July 4th
to.watch the fireworks display at
Mdxico Beach. Thousands of peo-
ple.with lawn chairs, blankets, and

what has become our 4th of July
symbol: fireworks. Collective gasps

bly applauded each brilliant burst
In [he dusk's waning light.

ooohed and aaahed at the

Shellcrackers are the name of
the game in freshwater. Joe Hasty
at Shiner Diner says they are bit-
ing real good right now on crickets
or earthworms. The bass have
moved back into the shadows in
the .shallows now. that the water
level is back up. Buzzbaits in yel-
lbw or chartreuse at dawn or dusk
4re the choice baits.
With catfish tournaments in
6ur area gaining popularity and
press, Hasty says more and more
recreational anglers are targeting
the channel and flathead catfish in
area lakes aridrivers. Over the hol-
days, Hasty said 5,000 or more
people came to the Dead Lakes
area to fish, picnic, and visit with

Regardless of the number of,.'
scallops you gather, snorkeling in
St. Joe Bay Is a sport In itself. The
trout fishing is still producing
extra large fish: many in the 6 to 8
pound range. Topwaters. small
pinfish. or fresh shrimp are the
choice baits.
The holiday week had record
numbers of boats on the water.
Scattered successes were reported
on kings. Spanish, snappers, and'
grouper. The fish are moving from
one area to another almost daily, A:

The old carbody sites pro-
duced some nice kings in the 15 to
20 pound range Saturday, and

Bottom fishing is still produc-
ing dependable catches of red and
black snapper and an occasional
keeper grouper. Live baits triple'
your odds for success. .Moving
around is the key to finding fish.
Amidst the oooh's arid aaah's
of the beach blast crowd, I heard
other whispered names like
Saigon. The Delta, Hamburger Hill,
and Kuwait City. The oldest in this
small group gathered on our placid,
beaches this evening, with cloudy
eyes but keen mind, spoke of.
another beach but only for a
moment. He instinctively flinched
and shuddered as the fireworks'
crescendo increased..
From the shadows came sever-
al' others. A handshake, often a
hug, and more often a tear greeted
each newcomer. Paris Island '65,

Backing NATO's Peace Plan


in


War-Ra


By: David W. Crenshaw,
Photojournalist assigned to the
Navy Public Affairs Center in
Norfolk, Virginia
Floating silently off the coast
of the former Yugoslavia in the
Ionian and Adriatic Seas is the
largest naval force assembled
since Desert Storm. Their goal is
simple-to stop the suffering of at
least 1.5 million ethnic Albanians,
liberate their homeland and safe-
ly return them to their cities and
loved ones in Kosovo.
With the prospect of peace in
the war-torn country, sailors like
Daryl Walls, son of Sherrie N.
Wons of Wewahitchka, know
they're doing their part to restore
stability and cooperation within,
the region.
As a crew member aboard the
aircraft carrier, USS Theodore
Roosevelt, Walls' is one of the
nearly 6,000 men and women
who are deployed to provide sup-
port in the Adriatic Sea.
A 1998 graduate of Wewa-
hltchka High School, Walls joined
the Navy the same year. "I figured
I'd try It so I can learn and see
other places," he said. "Also, my
father is a lieutenant on the air-.
craft carrier, USS Carl Vinson,
and I wanted to follow in his foot-
steps."


As an aviation ordnanceman.
Walls maintains the armories and
builds the bombs that will be
dropped by Theodore Roosevelt's
air wing. "I love being around ord-
nance and'weapons," said the air-
man recruit. "My mission is to
help my country, and I'm doing
that by doing my job right."

Domestic Violence:


Build a Support System


Written by: Pam Martin of
the Salvation Armny Domestic
Violence and Rape Crisis
Program
Many survivors of domestic
violence were severely isolated.
They were Isolated from their fam-
ily and they were prevented from
making friends. After the abuse
they may still suffer from a lack of
closeness with people.
After a Utme of betrayal, some-
times years of betrayal., it is hard
to develop trusting relationships,
but reaching out aiid asking for
help is the first step to healing.
You suffered the abuse alone; you
don't have to heal in the same
lonely isolation.
A support system is a net-
work of people who help you make
It through the scary and confus-
ing changes Involved In healing. It
is like having a cheering section, a
coach and a bat boy all in one. A
support system is literally that-
people who provide support.
A support team might give
you pracLical support, Intellectual
--support.- emotional support, and
spiritual support. The people in
your support system believe you
were a victim and they believe in
your capacity to heal and survive.
They like and respect you, they
see you as a good person even-


though the abuser in your life told
you differently. When you are
around your support team. you
should feel reassured, cared
about, and listened to.
Your' stipport team members
should not do any of the follow-
ing: minimize what you have been
through; downplay your feelings;
tell you to hurry up and get over
it; call you names; harass you;
blame you for staying with the
abuser; side up with the abuser
or make you feel bad about your-
Sself in any way.
If you feel depressed or full of
negative thoughts after seeing a
particular person on your support
team, that person probably isn't
giving you the support you need
and deserve.
If you are trying to heal from
an abusive relationship. I want to
be part of your support team. I
care about you and I want the
very best for you and your chil-
Sdren. I. have an office in
Wewahitchka and I am in Port St.
... Joe.on a regular basis.
We have a support group that
meets weekly in Blountstown and
Altha. Please call my office for
times and locations of groups. My
office number is 639-4300/3939
and our 24-hour crisis line is 1-


800-252-2597.
Please know that you do not
have tol live in abuse and you do
nothave to be alone-whether
healing or staying in the relation-
ship. If you choose to stay with.
the abuser., I would like to go over
a safe plan with you and just be
on your support team. Please call.

if the D or F is well deserved.
Bad grades can have a good
effect-if we view them realistical-
ly, avoid making excuses and
dedicate ourselves to improve-
ment.
So it should be with the first-
ever state report card on 2,500
Florida public schools released
June 25.
The .report confirmed what
many already believed-our
schools are under-performing.:
While some schools are excelling,
the majority of Florida's schools
and students are' currently per-
forming at a mediocre level at
best. And many- of our state's
schools will have to improve to
attain the "status" of mediocre,
with a majority of students failing
to master the basics necessary to.
succeed in later grades anti in the
,information-age workplace.
The point, going forward,
should not to be the bad grades
our schools received. Instead, like
any.good stupdent, we.must digest
the evaluation and develop a plan
for improvement. There's already
a Florida precedent for this.
An earlier round of evalua-
Lions identified 158 schools as:.
S"low-performing." The embarrass-
*ing grades effecIively focused edu-
cators, parents and students on
making extra effort to master the
basics. The result'? All 158
schools showed some improve-
nment-some schools enough to be
taken off the list completely.
The current' evaluations of
our schools make it critical that
we work together towards, im-
provement-particularly since our
worst performing schools typical-
ly, but 'not always and certainly,
not forever, have a high propor-
tion ,-of disadvantagedd, students.
Educators, students, parents,
elected officials;and the business
community all have a role to play
in making a school better.
There is' something to be
learned from schools that provid-
: ed exceptions to the overall pat-


p~


tern. Griffin Middle School, which
serves some of Tallahassee's poor-
est neighborhoods, earned an "A".
So did three innovative schools in
southern Pinellas County. And
Feinberg Fisher in Dade County-
a school with 90 percent of its
students on free or reduced
lunch-outperformed schools
with similar demographics. We
- must look to these schools for
leadership in understanding how
to succeed.
Studies in Florida and across
the nation are remarkably consis;;
tent in defining the characteris-
tics of successful schools, with
disadvantaged populations:
strong leadership for a principal,

high expectations, a relentless
focus on academic basics, taking
extra time as needed on instruc-
tion and reaching out to parents.
If we. react constructively to
our current poor grades, we can
use. this opportunity 'to. focus
attention and resources-most
critically a district's strong princi-
pals and top teachers-on schools
in disadvantaged neighborhoods '
that may not get their fair share
in the normal course of things.:
Governor. Bush has promised a
formal study of equity within:
school: districts 'to reinforce this
point.

Although many may have pre-
ferred'a gentler, slower version of
.school. accountability, the vast
majority of administrators and
principals have adopted a positive
attitude toward improvement and
are displaying a commendable
spint of "getting on with getting
better."
Pockets of resistance will:be
inevitable. Watch out for displays
of a "can't do" attitude like we saw
from one superintendent who
described the school grades to a
local newspaper as fundamentally
unfair.
Another deputy superinten-
dent in a bounty with "F" schools
offered some "dog-ate-my-home-
work" excuses, and then blamed
poor performance on the number
of poor and non-English speaking
households in his district.
Watch too, for enemies of
accountability to continue to
shoot from the trees at the
Bush/Brogan A+ plan. Their
."spin" is set--obsess on vouchers
while dishing out .half. truths


about the full dimensions of the
plan and not giving any credit to
the future steps that either are or
will be in place to fine tune it.
The sting of these tough
grades and the unprecedented
level of attention, conversation
and even controversy about how
to improve Florida's public
schools is, in. fact, a positive first
step. Now we must eliminate
pockets of denial, dedicate our-
selves to improvement and work
together for our- children, our
communities and our future.

MEDITATIONS OF A


By LOWELL F. ADAMS

Who Believes
God's Truth?
M "Who hath believed
our report?"
ISAIAH 53:1

^HE FIFTY-THIRD CHAPTER of Isaiah, is a,
prophecy of the coming Lord Jesus, revealed to the
world more than seven hundred years before His
birth. It opens with a question: "Who is going to
believe this marvelous Truth?"
Verse two describes Jesus as one who will grow
up in an unbelieving social situation, and His
Appearance as predicted is disappointing td those
who have been looking for their Saviour to come.
Verse' three through twelve is a detailed,
prophetic record of Jesus' life and the treatment He
received from the very people He came into the
world to benefit and save from eternal banishment.
To this wri er, the most amazing and hard 'to
understand truth about the birth and.life of Jesus,
i the absolute rejection of those who 'had this,
prophecy in:' their ,,hands,, from its utterance
hundreds of years before, to the very day they nailed
Him ,to the cross. How on earth could they ndt -have
recognized HAim *'ad' the fulfillment of that &ieat
prophecy? Jesus is indeed the Son of God, and the
Saviour of all who will believe.
Still, another. hard. to understand fact, is the
fulfillment of Jesus pronouncement in Matthew
7:13 and 14, of the throngs of people rushing to
destruction in the end-time, and the few that are
finding Jesus, The One Way to eternal security. This
is more prevalent today than when He spoke those
prophetic words. The multitudes, are living for the
pleasures of this world, and a comparative few are
finding The Way to salvation and eternal life. '
God loves us, but. He does not force us. We
make our own decision about accepting His Truth.
God's question of almost three thousand years ago,
is extremely relevant today: "Who hath believed our
report? and to whom is, the armn of the Lord
revealed?" Isaiah 53:1 If we make the wrong
decision, we will have an awful long time to regret it.

"That means half of the
women out there will wait for
chest pains, a broken bone or a
breast lump before seeking health
care-if they go at all," Massey
said.
"When the symptoms of
menopause are over, many
women avoid, medical care until
they develop the symptom of a
disease. Yet, the years after
menopause are the time when
women can do the most to prevent
the major killers and cripplers of
women: heart disease, breast can-
cer, osteoporosis and depression,"
said Paula Masse'.
Among, the other survey find-
ings are these:
:*Doctors are less likely to;
explain health .risks to African-
American women. Fifty three per-
cent of African-American women
report that their doctor has not,
explained the health effects of the
loss of estrogen, :compared to 35
percent of women in general.
As a result, one in two'
African-American". women report
that they know little or nothing;
about the health effects of the loss
of estrogen. compared to one in,
four women'in general.
*One in threewomenr say they
are not concerned about heart
disease. Yet, heart disease is the
number one killer of women over,
50. Coronary disease kills more,
women than men each year, and:
one in two women will eventually;
Sdie of heart disease or stroke.
Cardiovascular diseases kill:
more women than all forms of
cancer, chronic lung disease,
pneumonia, diabetes, accidents
Sand AIDS combined. .
*One in three women say they.
are not concerned about osteo-'
porosis. Yet, women can lose up to
one-third of their spinal bone
mass in the six years after'
menopause, and 40 percent of,
women over 50 will develop a frac-

not likely to have a bone density
test.
*More than 40 percent of
women report that they are con-
cerned about depression. Studies
show only one 'in three women:
with depression will ever seek
care.
In a previous survey, more
than half of women responding,
said that they believe it is normal
for women to be depressed during
menopause and consider it a nor-.
mal part of aging. Yet. 15 percent,
of women with untreated depres-

Throughout time, humans have negatively predicted"
the end times. The theological term for this study is'
called eschatology. It holds a fascination for many peo-

Free to a Loving and Wonderful
Home. We hate a terrible dilemma In
our family. ,2 of our 3 dogs have gotten
into severe fights with each other trying
to determine who 1ll be "top dog".
Since the first of this year these fights
have become more frequent resulting in
terrible wounds, vet visits and much
tension. A heartbreaking decision has
been made to give one of our babies
away.
Bonnie is a 6-year-old black arid white
terrier/spaniel mix.with wire hair and
weighing 30 pounds. She loves people
and children and is well behaved. She's
stricUy an inside dog (she hates the
rain) and is housebroken. She loves
going for rides in the car and walks on
the beach. She would have to go to a
single dog home due to the current cir-,
cumstances. She is not fond of cats.
She is current on all her shots. heart-
worm pills and flea control medicine.
She has been spayed and has no known
health problems. '
Visitation would be required to ease our
worries and, know we made the right
decision. If interested please call 647-
3599 (evenings are best)..
