The board agreed to' go for- ward with the purchase a few months ago after Pate reviewed an agreement proposal offering the canal to the city for a price of 8700,000. The purchase is significant because it can provide a major- water source for the city and sur- rounding communities. Water is a valuable asset when seeking industrial jobs in an area because often times where industry locates is directly related to the availability of water. "This purchase brings one more major piece of the economic puzzle together," Pate said. With recent announcements of port restoration and road stud - ies, the canal adds one more pos- itive economic development amenity to the county. In a letter from Governor Jeb Bush it was announced that, a $222,300 grant was received from the Rural Infrastructure Fund and a 8168.700 loan from the Rural Community Development Revolving Loan Program has also been approved. Both funds are, administered by the Governor's Office of Tourism. Trade and Economic Development. "With the closing of the paper mill, the city has lost nearly 70 percent of its general revenue which led to my decision last year to designate the region as one of the state's first Rural Areas of Critical Economic Concern," said Governor Bush, "As the community works to revitalize their economy, it is important that we assist them where possible. This canal is key to that revitalization-both in pro- viding basic services to the citi- zens of Port St. Joe, as well as impacting' business recruitment efforts to the region." Bush added. The canal begins on the Chipola River In Gulf County and runs 17 miles, ending in Port St. Joe. It was built 40 years ago to supply' the large volume of water needed for the paper mill. Other businesses now use the canal, as does the City of Port St. Joe and Gulf County. Since the paper mill closed, city leaders have been negotiating to purchase the property from Stone Container Corporation. With assistance provided by the state rural development pro- grams, Port St. Joe is now able to purchase the property. , "We owe great thanks to Governor Bush for approving these important state resources for the City of Port St. Joe," said Port St. Joe Mayor Frank Pate. "The fresh water canal is the source of drinking water for many of our citizens and an essential part of much needed job growth in Port St. Joe." Mayor Pate noted that the city '> '' LA iJ~^^ Tempers Flare As Lines Are Changed By Board Community Pastor ...Called Home Sat. The community is mourning the loss of another icon as well as spiritual leader with the passing of Brother Julius Caesar Odum Saturday morning. Brother Odum moved to Port St. Joe in 1953 to become the pastor of Long Avenue Baptist Church, where he served his church and community until his retirement in 1980. He then con- tinued a service of love, concern, and ministry to his Lordl and community for the remainder of, his 86 years. Wesley and Kesley have focused their columns on Brother Odum in this week's edition of The Star (page 2). His obituary can be found on page 9A.

See the ad on Page 6 of this week's issue of The Star for donations committed as of last Friday after- noon. Auction donations continue (See FISH FRY on Page 7A) Gulf County commissioners met in a special session Monday afternoon and did a little more tweaking to Gulfs district lines. During the last board meet- ing, members agreed to advertise Scenario 17AA as the board's final district boundaries. -Red4stricting was placed on Monday's special meeting agenda by District 3 Commissioner Carl Fox who initi- ated the conversation on the question. "I don't see any way in the world I can handle Overstreet," Fox said. He went on to apologize to District 2 Commissioner Billy Traylor (currently Overstreet) and the board as he explained that he simply could not handle, another community in his district. (Fox currently serves White City, St. Joe Beach, and Highland View.) Fox introduced Scenario 17AA revised which moves the Overstreet area back into District 2 rather than his District (3). He also explained that he had gone to Commissioner Traylor with the idea of placing Oiverstreet in his district, not the other way around. The board voted 3-2 (Commissioners Peters., Fox, Barnes for: Traylor and McLemore opposed) to adopt the new district boundaries, but not before tempers flared over the changes. Commissioners Billy Traylor and Carmen McLemore were very vocal about the change of bound- aries. Stolen Vehicle Pursuit Ends In Crash at Pump At near 8 a.i. Sunday, August 19th; the GCSO received word that .the Panama City Police Department arid Florida Highway Patrol were in pursuit of a stolen truck on Highway 22. Deputy Tim Woods fell in behind the FHP unit near the fire tower; the truck continued to Wewahitchka, running through the intersection at Highway 71, striking gas pumps at the Swifty Serve. The driver exited the vehi- cle -and ran toward Second Street, jumping the fence at Cox Transmission. Meanwhile, the vehicle, left in gear, went down the alley behind Randy's Discount Grocery, across Osceola Street, arid struck. the Bayou Restaurant. GCSO K-9 units tracked the suspect to a residence on Henry Street where the trail came to an end. The suspect will face charges of grand theft auto and 'multiple traffic violations when located. Anyone with information about his identity is asked to contact the Gulf County Sheriffs Office ori- the T.I.P.S. line at 229-8477. Commissioner Traylor told the board that he had heard about what was coming down last 'week. , "You guys are wrong in doing what you're doing," he said, explainingg that his district had 80 to 100 miles of roadside grass CUtting, numerous dirt roads, and many other issues that made it a "hand full" for the commissioners in the district. He focused his comparison on commission chair- man Peters, saying his district was composed almost entirely of people in the city of Port St. Joe, and he didn't have to deal with the same sort of problems as other commissioners. Commissioner McLemore suggested if the board was going to do this fairly, then the Highland View area should be placed in Commissioner Peters' district (4). "If you're for the people, let's go to county-wide voting," McLemore said to Peters. remind- ing those present and the board that 840 of voters had said they favored the county-wide voting process via referendum ballot sev- eral years ago. At the conclusion of the met- ing,' Commissioners Traylor-and McLemore voted in opposition to a boat ramp parking agreement at Highland View as proposed by Commissioner Fox. The motion passed 3-2, but Commissioner Traylor tied a motion to adjourn the board's greeting with a state- te-iint declaring, "You've made it a /nprth-south issue as of now!!" Traylor (District 2) and McLemore (District 1) are the commissioners representing the north end of the county'. "'V ;'f.

Tentative Agreement Reached With State Park Committee Plan For Public Workshop To Be Scheduled Soon Local members of the State Park Work Group met with repre- sentatives of the T. H. Stone Memorial State Park Monday. The follow-up meeting presented a plan to resolve several issues that were aired during last month's joint meeting of the groups. A total of five problem issues were identified during the first session. Monday's meeting pro-' duced tentative agreements to resolve most of those issues. These, resolutions will be. dis-' cussed at a public workshop on the park, which will probably be held sometime in September.

Since the students returned to the classrooms, Mrs. Wood has visited the science rooms of the school, talked wih the teachers checking to see how things were going in their department, and asked about the needs in their respective classes. Not only did Mrs. Wood listen to the teachers, but followed with very generous actions. Upon learning of the great need in the science departments for funding of materials for hands-on activ- ities, she donated $6,000 toward the worthy cause.

The Wilderness Preserve is located on the end of St. Joseph Peninsula and is a favorite spot for boaters to pull ashore, especially on the bay side near Shark Hole, and enjoy the beach. The groups agreed it was Classless Reunion Saturday A number of months ago, someone came up with the. idea that it would be wonderful to have a reunion of everyone who had ever attended Port St. Joe High School. Your school experience is a composite, consisting of rela- tionships with not only your fel- low. classmates, but undergrads, and of course, those in the upper classes. The idea has been enthusias- tically received, as over 900 have already registered for The Port's Classless Reunibron. Ranging from the oldest graduate from the class of '32 to graduates from the class of 2001, it promises to be a won- derful time of reminiscing. Attendees are flying in from Honolulu, Hawaii and London, England, as well as the majority .of the rest of the states where Port St. Joe grads have emigrated. The reunion will be held in the Centennial Building, on Allen Memorial Way. Built in 1938, it is the one building that each gradu- ate throughout the eight decades can relate.

Following the recommendation of several friends arid family members and the insistence of my wife, we headed out early last Thursday to visit the Smoky Mountains. Shirley actually left me little choice-It was take her on some sort of vacation Or get a divorce. It didn't take much figuring to deduce the vacation was the cheapest way out. I did recommend several ideas for a secluded weekend for two. A weekend stay at the camp in the hunting lease was at the top of my scale. But that idea didn't weigh too heavily on Shirley's list. Well, needless to say, long before daylight Thursday morning we were parked, loaded, gassed, and ready to head for "'em hills." By about 7:00 that evening, we were checking into our cabin on the hillside. The view was absolutely breathtaking. How in the. world we could have called at the last minute and gotten reserva- tions for a. cabin named "Almost Heaven" on top of a mountain, is something I don't understand. I could have taken a picture from any point of the compass- north, south, east or west-and had a photograph suitable for a postcard. "Almost Heaven" was a suitable name for these quarters. What I did recognize almost .immediately were similarities to the home I left back in Florida. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg,: Cades Cove, and all areas between were discovered a long time ago. About the only difference between riding along Highway 441 through Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg and riding along Panama City . Beach is that one has the mountain as a backdrop and the other has the beach. The irony of how two areas could be so different, yet so simi- lar, is almost eerie. You have the high profile tourist attractions at both extremes. The typical local trinket shops specializing in items that match the terrain-beach related items .along the coast and mountain related'items-up in the hil.ls-are the sanie. butydiffer- ent.'in both locations. Just as the draw to our area is the beach, the draw to the part of East Tennessee we stayed was the "Great Smoky Mountains." They were absolutely beautiful, too. Just as with our beaches, though, the question at the center of deep routed controversy is how do you build in the mountains without destroying the view from the next hill over? Indeed, much of the mountain space is public land that will remain in its natural state, but what about the rest? Building codes and restrictions have been and are being put into place that limit how much a person can alter the land- scape. After talking to some of the local folks, it was pretty clear that the only real difference between where I was at -and where I had been was nearly 500 miles, a tank and a half of gas, 12. hours of drive time, two tired eyes, and a bunch of king-sized hills. The best part of the whole journey was free!!! Visiting the pub- lic parks and seeing the various wonders of nature far exceeded any thrill that man could have 'provided through commercializa- tion of God's hand work. "Almost Heaven" may be an appropriate name for not only our cabin retreat, but also much of the landscape we visited.. Of course, you know things are going good when you leave "Almost Heaven" to visit "Almost Heaven"-It's no wonder others want to come. Julius Caesar Odum zoomed off this planet at 9:58 last Saturday morning. It sounded like.. plain ole thunder down here ..... But the roar in Heaven could be heard two Milky Ways and a light star away. Saints stood out oL respect. Peter and Paul and the beloved John ran to meet him. There was. a stur-ng, and a nod. from the honored seat on the night hand side of ,Almighty God . Heaven is better olfl! Arid Bro. Odum is sutll petitioning on my behalf. He's just doing it face to' face now. I met him in 1975. He came to my house. He was pretty quiet and' unassuming I thought, especially for a preacher! And he didn't over- whelm me with his presence or presentation. He modestlyv- rever- ently. talked about Jesus. And church. And service. And he listened! Now, there's a rare trait in a preacher! I could tell he liked that part about my Mother teaching Sunday School all those years .... Here's what I remember most from that first meeting. He came looking for mel Cathy and I had moved into town less than a week earlier and he sought us out. We joined the church pretty soon afterwards. Bro. Odum had quietly pointed out that's what Jesus and Mother would expect and trust that I would do. He wasn't a fireball in the pul- pit. He didn't jump and shout and entertain. He wasn't interested in what you thought of him. It was the message! It was always the message! He had the facts. He had the Good News. He talked mostly about Jesus and Him crucified. You don't think Paul was a': run- ning across those streets of gold with his arms outstretched for nothing last week, do youl Bro. Odum didn't just read the story of the Good Samaritan! He spent a lifetime sharing, com- forting, exhorting, befriending, teaching .... He is the most genuine person that I have ever met. But that is not why I loved him. When my Father died he was at my house before we started packing. To this day I don't have a clue how he got there so fast. He didn't say much and he didn't stay long. He came by to share our hurt ... and to pray with, and for us . and to remind us that Jesus -loves us! .He'd put a hand on your shoulder, look you right square in the eye and with that old gravelly voice that was music to my ears he would bring a touch of the Savior to your living room. I'm telling you, he had power and resources far above those of mortal men! Oh, to have half his wit,' his insight, his attention to detail, his commitment! ,-I ,don't ever remember him talking about how much he loved children. I don't remember any prolonged sermons on suffer the little ones . But he never, never passed either of my boys without stopping to say something pertinent to each one. With Josh it was usually the St. Louis Cardinals. With Jess, it was the Flonda Gators., And he would usu- ally remind them that Jesus loved even Cardinal and Gator fans .... I will never forget the science fair when Josh was in the seventh grade. He won some kind of award over at the area finals in Panama City. The News Herald listed all the winners (about seven hundred of them) and Josh's name was way down on the list. I was his father and it was such small print that I didn't even see itl Bro. Odum cut the article out, highlighted the Josh Colbert down on the eighty- third row, added a congratulatory note and mailed the article to Josh. He did this several years after he retired. Amazing! And you think about his poor eyesight . he would have had to a' poured over that fine print with a magnifying glass (See KESILEY ON PAGE 3) Beloved Community Pastor and Spiritual Leader Goes "Home" el e. 'Cmmn e THE COMMUNITY LOST a beloved pastor Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. Rev. J. C. Odum had served the community, as its conscience since 1953--27 of those years as the active pastor of the: Long, Avenue Baptist Church-but the entire time.as the pastor emeritus of the City, of Port St. Joe. It didn't matter to J. C. Odum whether or not you were a mem- ber of .Long Avenue Baptist; all that mattered to lhim was if you hada need! . He was a good friend to 'me and to everyone who needed a friend. He took a lot of teasing, , about his bald head and his grow- ing "pot" but he was up to the task of giving tit for tat whenever a per- son started teasing him. He could put them in their place with a good humored repartee. REV. ODUM NEVER had a bad, word for anybody. So far as he was concerned everybody was O Published *i fL'Iaq William H.

Odum retired on the same kind of faith which stood him in such good stead while he was, in the seminary. When he retired, he didn't own a home nor any property. He had always lived in a church-owned home. His trust in the Lord provided him with a modest but new home, in which he lived out the rest of his days. He was proud of that home, its lawn, his garden,' his shed out back and his fruit trees. .They always received the best of care and produced mightily. HE MUST HAVE bought greeting cards by the carton. He was an inveterate card mailer. He would send anyone a card of con- gratulations for a birthday, a new baby, a better position, something good happening; he never forgot! He was all this and more, to everyone regardless of Awrhether or not they were members of his church. He was an extremely good cit- izen, too. When Billy Joe Rish was in the Florida legislature, he invited J. C. Odum to open it one year with prayer; and Billy Joe is a Methodist! Earl Hutto also invited him to open the U. S. Congress in the same manner. Quite an honor for a little pot- bellied, bald headed country preacher. Except Rev. Odum was- n't your run-of-the-mill "pot-bel- lied, bald headed country preach- er!"

He continued to serve the .community and his church when- ever and wherever he was needed. He enjoyed sports and was knowledgeable about them. He enjoyed, especially, the sports played by children. He was extremely interested in everything children did. He knew most chil- dren by name and "pedigree." They were also the .targets of his insatiable mailing of cards. The community will miss Rev. J.

Two or three kiosks would be strategically located along the shoreline pro- viding this information. The Wilderness Preserve .cur- rently has a 120 person carrying capacity limit.

Under the plan dis- cussed Monday, shuttle boats could not bring tours to the area and leave them in the Wilderness Preserve. On the other hand, a person could rent a boat and drive it to the Wilderness Preserve area and the beaches without any problem. Private or rental watercraft can be carried in tow into the park with no questions, as long as they meet legal operating stan- dards. A public workshop will be announced within the next few weeks.

As a result of the city's intent to purchase the fresh water canal, Premier Chemical, a company using the waterway, has commit- ted to creating an additional 15 jobs to its current workforce. The Northwest Florida Water Management District has already committed $350,000 toward the purchase of the fresh water canal. Port St. Joe commissioners unanimously agreed to write a let-' ter of appreciation to O'ITED thanking them for their assis- tance on this funding project. Closing date for the purchase is currently set for August 28th.

My wifewas still in the .hospital recovering from .a pretty remarkable birth. I was try- ing to keep up with, and care for, my three year old son as best I could. Jesse was literally fighting for every, breath in the intensive care unit at Sacred Heart. Bro. Odum stood that Sunday morning in the pulpit of the Long Avenue Baptist Church, bowed his head .... and listen, he didn't just ask that everything be "all right," or politely mention that we had lit- tle Jesse down here with a problem S. He humbled himself before Almighty God and he begged for : my son's life. And you talk about a direct line! He didn't go through any operators, he didn't get a busy sig- nal, a machine didn't answer and he was never put on hold! They knew that old gravelly voice .... The buzzword around Heaven for years now has been, "It's Bro. Odum again, he's standing in another gap." He called my name in high places. He stuck closer than a brother. He restoreth my soul. I loved Bro. J. C. Odum because he first loved me! And if you think I was special or he singled my family out more than yours-you don't understand the greatness of the man. Some might ask why I didn't. Write this story a couple of weeks ago while Bro. Odum was still physically with us. It's simple. I didn't want him to .have to read it squinting through those thick eye- glasses using that cumbersome big magnifying lens. But I promise you, he has seen it. As a matter of fact, he read it beforeyou-did! He was looking over my shoulder as I wrote. He's there right nowl He will always be, there....

They are not an ordi- nary charity. They offer solutions to community problems. This year's community cam- paign will kick off August 29th with a luncheon at Gulf Pines Hospital and will continue through the middle of November. Money raised will be distributed to agencies which have been approved to receive grants from the campaign. -Last year, United Way funded the Gulf ARC and Transportation and other local agencies serving the Gulf County areas. United Way Community Fund Grants are awarded for specific projects only. They do not Fund salaries nor do they fund day to day agency operations. All dona- tions stay in the area and are tax deductible. Just as United Way, the affili- ated agencies are closely scruti- nized by submitting audits and meeting other accountability mea- sures. A Funds Distribution Committee will be selected from Gulf County to decide exactly where the money is needed most and which agencies provide the best care for the most Gulf County residents. 84% of all funds donated goes directly to the agencies. This makes United Way the most effec- tive and efficient means of provid- Torrie Cesaroni Ing solutions for community prob- lems. The easiest way to contribute Is through payroll deduction. Employers are encouraged to join the campaign as Pacesetter Companies. Pacesetters can give as little as 8500 or they may match their employee's gifts. Allen Cox and other mem-r bers of the board will be calling on Gulf County businesses and resi- dents to help in the funding request. Cox has recruited a top- notch team of Gulf County resi- dents to assist in raising money for the Gulf County health and human service agencies currently under United Way: Sandra Chaffin.

GED Testing Criteria Is Changing! GED students have four months left to finish current tests - or must start again on new exams. Adults in Gulf County who are working toward their GED diploma have until December 4, 2001 to successfully complete the GED tests. In January 2002 the GED Testing Service in Washington, DC will release new tests to replace the current edi- tion. Any GED candidate who has not successfully completed the GED Tests by that time must start completely over again with the 2002 Series GED Tests to qualify for a State of Florida GED w.'S --', .',- '- ., ., -s..:" W W .'.

The obsolete scores cannot be "converted" to scores on the new tests. Persons who have not yet begun taking the battery of five tests, but who are planning to do so, must begin testing by October 2, 2001 and earn the scores need- ed to qualify for a diploma before the December cut-off date. Those who do not pass all five tests must begin testing again in January 2002 with the new GED Tests. The new GED Tests will con- tinue to measure the major and. lasting outcomes of a four-year high school course of study in english. Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. The tests will incorporate the most up-to-date, widely used curriculum stan- dards.and standardized assess- ment practices available. Graduating 'high school seniors will continue to set the bench- mark by which passing scores are set. Test content and test design specialists working on the new tests recommended against per- mitting combination of old and new scores because the new GED Tests will differ significantly from the current GED Tests. For example, the new tests will use real-life "authentic" materials to a greater extent. These materials - editorial cartoons, graphs of eco- nomic data, and business memo- randa, for example cut across traditional classroom subject areas and require candidates to process Information in multiple disciplines simultaneously. According to GED Testing Service Executive Director Joan Auchter. 'These types of test questions not only mirror the tasks students are being asked to perform in the K- 12 environment, but also closely match the way adults must func- tion as effective workers, parents. students and citizens." In addition to significant con- tent changes in the social Studies and Sclence Tests, the 2002 Series GED Tests will introduce the use of a calculator on the Mathematics test. Beginning in January 2002. GED candidates will be issued a Casio fx-260 solar calculator during the Math test. According to GED Test Development Director Lyn Schaefer, "Traditional high sch-ool students at every level are Lj$ingg calculators. In addition, the-"al.- culator's presence allows us to-' introduce more realistic questions into the test." For one half of the GED Math Test, however. GED candidates will be required to demonstrate their mathematical abilities without a calculator.

"In the past, candidates who know their gram- mar, but had difficulty expressing themselves in writing could lever- age a poor essay with excellent performance on the multiple- choice. To pass the new Writing Test, they will have to demon- strate better all-around commu- nication skills," says Schaefer. "Nearly 60 years ago," says Auchter, "the GED Tests created a . revolution by making possible for people who had gained high school academic skills and knowl- edge outside of the traditional classroom to document their abil- ity. We've entered an age where the ability to find and use infor- mation is becoming more impor- .tant than the ability to merely Sown it. By reflecting the changing needs of society, the GED Tests retain their value to the individual and to educational, business, and trade organizations as an author- itative measure of high school- level skills and knowledge."

The young hatchlings have been on schedule, emerging from their 'nest cavities a little later than the norm of 65 days incuba- tion period, but nevertheless, they are alive and well so far.

During their visit they met with local and state officials and toured several proposed sites in hopes of selecting the most suit- able site for the project. Apalachicola has become the first site in the nation to receive permission to duplicate the Three Servicemen Statue.

Founder Jimmy Mosconis. "There's a lot of factors to consider for a project of this magnitude...we're just proud that they want it here." The Apalachicola project will include not only the statue but all -necessary park infrastructure and landscaping and is expected to cost approximately $1.5 million to create. The Statue project is intended to represent the entire Southeast and it is anticipated the statue will become a focal, point for people throughout the Southeast to visit and be remind- ed of the sacnfices of the men and women who served during the \ietnanm conflict. Apalachicola was chosen, in part because it is representative of the many small Southern towns that were home for larger numbers of Vietnam service mem- bers. The town was also a natur- al because VVMF Founder Scruggs and Apalachicola busi- nessman and county commis- sioner Mosconis were in the same platoon during the Vietnam con- flict and have remained friends and staunch Vietnam Veterans supporters ever since.

JOE, FL THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2001 F The Truth About The Bush Discount Card On July 12, President Bush announced the launch of his Medicare-endorsed prescription drug discount card during a Rose Garden ceremony. We and thousands of independent community phar- macists across the country are opposing this proposal; not because we don't want seniors to get the assistance they need in purchasing prescription drugs; but because we believe this plan holds nothing for seniors but false hope. This card is not insurance. It does not provide seniors with meaningful access to prescription drugs. It does not provide seniors with access to the vital professional services pharmacists offer, which help seniors take their medications properly. Seniors take more prescription drugs than any other segment of our population. They need the expertise of their community pharmacist more than any other population group. There is a very real possibility that seniors will find there no real discounts on the drugs prescribed by physicians, their pharmacy does not participate in the plan, or that the plan requires them to take a different medicine than the one prescribed by their physician. Community pharmacies like this one will bear all of the- financial burden for these alleged discounts. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson has estimated the discounts will range from "15 to 25 percent or more." The average independent community pharmacy in this country is already operating on razor- thin margins and cannot possibly absorb discounts of this magnitude. After all, drug manufacturers, which account for nearly 80 percent of the cost of prescription drugs, bear none of the financial burden created by this so-called discount program. The administration says rebates from the manufacturers will help fund the cost of the proposal. The truth is these discount cards have been in existence for years and community pharmacies like this one have yet to see one penny of rebate money. If the rebates don't make it to the pharmacy, there are no savings to be passed on to the consumer. These discount programs do not work. They have been out-lawed in more than a half dozen states and abandoned in many others. This is a half-baked approach to a serious problem-providing a reasonable, affordable pharmacy ben- efit for the nation's seniors. Community pharmacists see every day the struggles our nation's seniors face in meeting the rising costs of prescription drugs. We support the provision of a true Medicare pharmacy benefit-a real insurance program that provides coverage for the prescription drugs and professional ser.;ces seniors need. We believe seniors deserve real coverage, real assistance, not a Band-Aide -hat will leave the s, item in worse shape Ihai it is in at WE PROUDLY ACCEPT MOST INSURANCE PLANS AND PRESCRIPTION CARDS.

Gulf County Teams Kickoff 2001 Football Season Friday The Port St. Joe Sharks and the Wewahitchka Gators get the 2001 football season underway this week, as both teams participate in preseason games. The Sharks will host Greensboro, who defeated them 12-7 in last season's region semi-finals, at 7:30 ET. All tickets are $5.00. The Gators host Sneads in the pre- season kick-off classic at 7:00 CT Friday night. Port St. Joe returns only four starters on defense and three offensively from last year's team that went 9-3. The Sharks, which lack the skilled positions that they have had in the past few years, are under the reins of new head coach John Palmer. 'We just have to worry about getting better, and not what our opponents are doing." said Coach Palmer. "We need to execute our offense and defense this week, and get ready for the regular season."

He had 51 total tackles, three quarterback sacks, and 15 tackles for a loss. He was also named Co-Defensive Player of the Year for the District. "Earnest is a great kid," said Wewahitchka head coach Grant Grantham. "He is a better kid than he is a football player, and was a pleasure to have on our team. Coach Hoal (Yuba JC) said that Earnest has one: of best personalities and character of any kid he has coached."

The first place flathead paid $1,500 and third place paid $750. Jamie Johns took second place ($1,000) in the flathead divi- sion with a 30.03 pound cat. Jody Parish won fourth ($500) catching a 25.59 pound fish and Shane Johnson won $200 for fifth place with a 23.77 pound fish.

Gum disease, the major cause of tooth loss in adults, increases as we get older, affect- ing 90 percent of older patients. This is a preventable disease with modern means of control and treatment. Dental plaque build-up is common in the elderly. Oral Care For the Older Patient hygiene is often neglected because of physical impairment or lack of interest. Easy-to-use elec- tric toothbrushes, Water-Pik type irrigating units and anti-plaque pastes and rinses are now avail- able. Most older patients' mouths show cavities under root surfaces of existing teeth. This is often caused by the combination of dis- eased saliva flow, usually a side effect of medication and a high carbohydrate diet. Gumline cavi- ties are no longer the problem to treat as they once were. You read it here. Tooth loss and dentures are not an inevitable result of aging. Negligence is.

Each child will be given a copy of his/her score to bring home and. g the original will be mailed to par- n ents. Ls All current 11th. grade stu- e dents were part of the FCAT test- f ing in March of 2001. The origi- nal FCAT scores received in May by these students were partial d scores which did not include the 'performance items. Scores have h nriow been released which are a he combination of the Sunshine e State Standard scores received in May and the Performance Scores which were recently released This combination score is the score which determines if a child earned a passing score in reading and mathematics in order to com- ply with one of the requirements for receiving a regular high school diploma. On August 14. 2001. the State Board of Education set the .10th grade passing score ,or the FCAT at 287 for reading and 295 for mathematics for students who took the test in the spnng of 2001. Please look at the scale scores on your child's score report to see whether your child has attained this score. Any student who has not met the score set for either portion of the test will have a total of six opportunities to earn a passing score prior to graduation and will receive assistance in spe- cific areas 'of math.and reading to improve their proficiency in those areas. The FCAT scores approved by the State Board of Education reflect expected grade 10 reading and math skills as defined by the Sunshine State Standards. These standards have been developed to represent what students should know and be able to do in general subject areas at each grade level in order to be prepared to move into the next grade and achieve a high school diploma. Any questions which you have should be directed to the school your child attends or to Catherine Barfield, Testing Coordinator at 229-6940. SIX FACTS ABOUT FCAT ported the Critical Jobs Initiative of the GCCC Citizen Leadership Institute; was a founding member of the Gulf Coast Little League Football League and sponsor of various' youth teams; was a founding, member and past presi- dent of the Gulf Coast Seminole Club; and has been very active in Rotary International, Cub Scouts, Boy and Girl Scouts and Friends of the Gulf County Library.

I'm honored to be select- ed by the Governor and Cabinet to serve as a trustee of the col- lege. I will work diligently to pre- serve and enhance this wonderful college that is a bedrock of our community." A former manager of flight attendants for what is now Northwest Airlines, Green is. the owner and designer of Karen Green Interiors, an interior deco- rating firm. 1. Students have six opportu- nities to pass-the FCAT between grade 10 and their scheduled graduation date. 2. The percentage of students who pass the test on subsequent takes increases by about 50% each time. Therefore, over the course of six tries, it is expected that over 98% of the students will earn a passing score by their scheduled graduation date. 3. The FCAT is just one of the requirements. for graduation from a Florida public high school. Students must also make passing grades in core curriculum classes and an overall 2.0 GPA. which are reflected in the Sunshine, State Standards and statewide assess- ment material. 4. The cut score for the .statewide assessment reflects grade 10 skills in reading.and mathematics as defined by the Sunshine State Standards. 5. The FCAT is based on the Sunshine State Standards, which represent what students should know and be able to do in reading and mathematics in order to be contributing members of society in life beyond high school. Both the Sunshine State standards and the FCAT grade 1i0 passing scores were developed in consul- tation with teachers; business leaders, and other appropriate professionals. 6. The original recommended passing scores were distributed to districts in December 2000.

Il' Andy Wilkinson Financial Advisor Sometimes ,it is 'helpful to, reverse the comparison to see what a taxable bond vill yield in -comparison ',to similar tax-free bonds. in which case the following equation may be used: Tax Free Yield = Taxable Yield x 11.00 minus federal tax rate) Lsing the above example, the equation would look like this: Tax Free Yield = S-; x (1.00 - .31) or .OS x .69 = .055. or 5.50% Thus. the tax-free equivalent of an 8''o corporate bond would be a municipal bond Yielding 5.59%.. If an investor is in a higher feder- al tax bracket. or includes state and local taxes in the calculation. the tax-free equivalent of the cor- porate bond will be even lower. We have looked at lust one typical comparison. It is impor- tant to remember that tax-free municipal bonds are not auto- matically the best choice. One consideration it depends on is an individual's own personal tax rate and how that tax rate is likely to change over the life of the invest- n-iernt. Also, there are other consid- eratioins when evaluating bonds, including price, maturity and risk.

D News Column --' Faith Christian School Yearbooks were. distributed this past Monday duiiing a special assembly Mrs. Beth Taylor, year-: book advisor, introduced Jeffrey Pitts, a member of last year's yearbook staff, who read the ded- ication page to the student body. The 2001 Faith Christian School Yearbook was ,dedicated to Mrs. Barbara Barnes, who has retired and moved back to St. Joseph, MO. Mrs. Barnes, affectionately called "Mrs. B" by students and adults alike, began teaching at Faith Christian in the fall of 1991 after 22 years of service in the public schools in Missouri. She began, her teaching here in first grade; she also taught second grade and K-4. In addition,. she was always: available for ifidivid- ual tutoring during and ,after' school and. in the summer. 'We miss her and wish her well in her new home. Our principal, Dr. Bill Taylor, congratulated Mrs. Beth Taylor and the journalism staff for a great yearbook Last-year stu- dents who no longer attend Faith, Christian may pick up their year- books at the office.,' Mrs. Cara Johnson, fund- raiser. coordinator, challenged the students to bring in Campbell's Soup labels and "Box-tops for .

Most of the time it is a smooth transition that your child will be excited about, but some- times a child screams and cries for the parent to stay. This is known as separation anxiety. Children need to develop a secure, trusting relationship with other adults. This is difficult for some children. Some children cry at times of separation for as long as a month. Some children will be so upset at first that they become physically ill. Some chil- ST. JOE Middle School News,, By Jenna Chesser The school year is progressing and sports are -beginning.

While this is normal, too, it can make a parent feel equally distressed. It is important to remember that all the emotional turmoil that you and your child are feeling is normal and a good indication that you feel a strong ,connection and bonding with ,each other. When a child cries during the first few days of separating at a new school there are some things you can do to make it easier. Have a predictable goodbye rou-' tine. Stay five minutes, give them a hug and a kiss and say goodbye .to them. Direct them to the same activity each time you arrive for a while. If they like the swings, hug and kiss them and put them on the swing and swing-them a few !times and then go. Say goodbye ,in the same place everyday. This predictability will soon become a soothing routine for them. The longer you linger the more prolonged the anxiety will be ifor your child. Your child will ask 'for another kiss and hug, this will confuse the goodbye routine. Tell your child one hug, one kiss and then goodbye. If your child is throwing a tantrum, hand them over to the teacher. The teacher will be able to calm them down and then it will be all over. This may happen for a few days, but if you are determined to be the "winner" then eventually the tantrums will stop. Then you will *both be the "winners" when your ,child learns to control the anxi- ety. Your child will eventually learn the sequence of the day; go For the deal of your life, see me! to school, get hugs and kisses from you when you leave. At school they will have fun and play, and learn to trust themselves and the teacher. Then, they will get picked up by you for more hugs and kisses. Children are proud of, themselves when they can master, their own feelings and enjoy , school.

WHS will be sending home in the mail to the parents of last year's 10th graders a copy of the score and a letter outlining all the details. We will also hand out a copy to the students on Thursday at which time we will explain what this means to them. If you have any questions about these changes, do not hesitate to con- tact the school.

They are trying hard to represent their fellow students and demonstrate tremendous character and school spirit. It's a pleasure to work with them. ,''Our new parking lot is ready to go. The first row is for guests and office personnel. The second row is for seniors. And the third row, the new area, is for everyone else. pon't forget that you need to Sbe registered to drive to school. See SRO Piercy for an application. This is one way we help to secure our campus. The first Middle School Task Force meeting', is set for next Monday at 7 p.m. All members of' the 'committee should have received an invitation. Likewise, the first School Advisory Council meeting is next Wednesday the 29th at 2:45 in the pator Room. All parents are invit- 'ed to attend as are student lead- ; ers.' See you then - recipe to make our first school day of the 2001-2002 school year less intimidating and much more FUNI Instead of sitting through a boring assembly consisting of a long speech from the Principal: with hundreds of students fight- ing sleep. we "kicked it up a notch". With a completely stu- dent-run skit mnixiang comedy with school rules we ended up with a very entertaining sixty minutes. By the way., this is where stu- clents pretended to be Hollywood stars. The day was completed with fun activities such as class com-' petition games called "Wacky Olympics"; and a FREE t-shirt for every student. Overall. the First Day Celebrationi was a great way , to kick off the 2001-2002 school year. The beginning of .school is always a busy time for everyone. Many of the after-school activities avasilable at Port St. Joe are either already underway or soon will be. * Football, cross country, vol- leyball, cheerleading, and flag are among the many 'dedicated groups of students who began practice soon after the first day of school. Golf and other activities ,,ill begin practice in only few ,, days.. . Because the lives of today's' teenagers can get pretty hectic, the Opportunity Center here at the school offers tutoring and ACT/SAT practice, tests during and. after school for those stu- dents who need an extra boost. Students, take advantage of this great opportunity. Thanks to a grant given to the arts center at "The Dome", the seniors and juniors were able to' attend a play in Apalachicola on Tuesday. August 21. The play was at the DLxie Theater located In the Histonric Distnct and the only cost to students was to bnng a sack lunch. We would all like to send out a sincere thank you to-" the Tapper Foundation for making this cultural experience possible. : The dres' code underwent some very, strict changes during this past summer. Among these are the three 'by five' rule: skirts must be at least three inches from the top. of the knee and shorts must be at least five inches from the top of the knee); Ithe two inch shirt strap rule; and the no baggy pantstrule. Students were very surprised' the first week of school to see just how strict the administration is about carrying out the dress code. Most importantly, the seniors of 2002, can be expecting many extra,, expenses. One of the upcoming expenses is $35 due on August 29 for caps and gowns for our GRADUATION in May. Also, a $75 deposit is due on September 19 for graduation Announcements. Congrats on being seniors and don't forget your money! With a new school year now underway, I would like to welcome the freshmehi and all 'new: stu- dents and staff members to Port St. Joe High School. We are glad to have you and we hope that you enjoy your school year. This has been .the first edition of "Shark Talk" for the 2001-2001 school year and signing off, I'm senior Maclain Howse.
