The 14-year-old girl, a na- tive of Westwego, La., had Sharks In Delayed Jamboree Tomorrow Port St. Joe's Sharks will face up to the biggest, strongest line in the area, but a naughty lady named Car- men made them stay home last -Friday evening. Car- men's threatened sashay through the Panhandle caus- ed the Sharks and the four other teams involved to call off the jamboree scheduled for last Friday night in De- Funiak Springs. The jamboree has been re-scheduled for tomorrow night at the same place, beginning at 8:00 p.m., Port St. Joe time. The jamboree will be made up of teams in the West Coast conference-Port St. Joe, Crestview, Marianna, De Funiak Springs and Chipley. The Sharks will play in the first two periods of the five stanza event. In the first period they will meet Marian- na and the Chipley Tigers in the second. Crestview and Marianna will entertain in the third canto, with DeFuniak Springs and Chipley in the fourth. DeFuniak Springs and Crest- view will play in the night cap.

The Sharks have been con- ference champions for two of the three years the organiza- tion has been in existence. made her way to East Point where she allegedly took an auto belonging to Earnest Stancill and headed back to- ward Port St. Joe. As she was passing through Port St. Joe on Highway 98, Patrol- man Bobby Lightfoot pulled alongside the car and mo- tioned the girl to pull over. It was raining and she became excited and lost control of the station wagon on the wet street and slammed into a pine tree near Duren's Econ- omy Store near Avenue B and Highway 98 intersection.' Lightfoot said she was driv- ing about 50 miles per hour at the time of the accident. The car suffered estimated damages of $1,500 and the girl was taken to Municipal Hospital by Gulf County Am- bulance where she was kept overnight for observation. The young girl was turned over to Franklin County au- thorities who had her charg- ed with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. The accident was investi- gated by Patrolman Bobby Lightfoot.

The City Commission had the final reading of their leash law Tuesday night, and voted unanimously to adopt the measure which requires all pets to be restrained from roaming free in the city. The city will pick up all pets found running loose and keep them impounded for five days before they are sold or destroyed, under provisions of the ordinance. Although the measure was approved Tuesday night, it cannot go into effect for' 30 days. In the meeting, shortened by the Commission's eager- ness to get out and get some election results, the Board also paid Smith and Gillespie, Engineers, $7,000 for their preliminary survey of needs for repairs, replacement and extension of the City's sewer and water facilities. The firm agreed to do the work for $7,000 and incurred costs of $11,000. However, the firm agreed to charge the City their original estimate. The City will take the re- port and decide which parts of the recommended program they will go into. Part of the program is furnishing water and sewer for Oak Grove if the project is feasible and the City can finance it. Commissioner James B. Roberts brought up a concern for playground facilities in North Port St. Joe, Roberts said the people in the area desired some tennis courts, ball fields and playground equipment for the younger children. (Continued on Page 3) Whitfield won over Betty Denton Martin, 1,329 to 877. Incumbent Judge Robert M. Moore, was the only other incumbent who led in his race. Moore polled 1,055 votes, while his run-off part- ner of October 1, Dr. David Taunton gathered 954 votes and A. L. Hargraves polled 492. County Commissioner La- mar Davis was defeated in his three-man race for re- election. Otis Davis, Jr., led the pack with 1,052 votes and will run it off with George L. Cooper, who pulled in 945 ballots. Davis was a close third with 896. In Commission District 4, incumbent Walter Graham was second high to Everett (Skull) Owens, Jr., in the three-man contest. Owens led the field with 1,169. Graham followed with 1,076 and Mar- ion B. (Bob) Phillips was third with 663. In the five-man field seek- ing the District 1 School Board post vacated by Wil- liam Roemer, Fred Greer and David M. Rich, Sr., will run it off. Rich led the group with 836 votes with Greer a close second with 763. None of the races face much danger of changing after the 140 absentee votes are counted. They were to be counted yesterday with the tally to begin at noon, but the results, were not known at prdss time.

Duby Ausley, with whom Thomas will run it off in October, collected 876 Gulf County votes and Carrol Webb polled a weak 342.

Ecology Fight Adds to Inflation Someone has had the temerity to say publicly that our over-reac- tion to the problems of the ecology is a major cause of our current :iigh rate of inflation. We thought Wvie'd never see the day this sacred cow would ever be blamed for Anything except something good. Economist Milton Friedman, in a recent article in Newsweek mag- azine said the extreme expendi- tures for ecology protection has been a major factor in creating our run-away inflation. Friedman said this situation came about because of the billions of dollars plowed into the program which would normally be spent for improvements and expansion of facilities to produce more and provide more jobs. Thus, as Friedman puts it, we have put too many dollars, too fast, into non- productive places. These unproduc- tive dollars spent are adding to our inflation. Our habit here in America is to see a need and want to correct it right now, not as we can at a reasonable pace. This is what has happened in the area of ecology protection. Everyone knew the ecology was in trouble so we must take every step to protect it right now. We're do-gooders by nature and we couldn't stand to see our heritage go down the drain from over-use or improper controls. It would seem to us that we would not be in as much trouble and do even a more efficient job of protecting our environment if more thought was given to the matter and effective steps taken rather than just throwing dollar bills at the problem in the hopes that the paper green would stop the deter- ioration of our resources. It makes More sense to us to figure out what our GNP is for a year, set up a certain percentage of that for pro- tection of the ecology and spend that amount each year. This would get the job done and maintain our economic stability. It should be no hard task, for instance, to figure out how much it would take to bring every sewage disposal sys- tem in the nation up to its proper effectiveness. If the amount allow- ed for environmental protection would provide this money in five years, allow five years for the job to be accomplished, then move on to another phase, such as cleaning up the air. Then we could move on to solid waste disposal; then clean up our streams. It doesn't seem unreasonable to do this important job on a pro- grammed basis. As we are doing now, with the shotgun method of shooting at every problem all at once, nothing gets done properly and we waste a lot of money and resources. In our present methods it is becoming more apparent every day that much of what we have done is ineffective because it was done too quickly with improper planning. The catalytic converter for new automobiles is a case in point. We see now where the converter will emit more poisonous substances than the unprotected auto exhaust system. We'd like our current preoccu- pation with protecting the environ- ment to have a more sensible approach. The environment wasn't endangered in a year or two and can't be cleaned up in such a short period of time. We think we should shade the gleaming eyes of our staunch ecologists so they can see the effect as well as the cause of their desire, and ours, to clean up our environment. Pertinent Question : After a recent article in this newspaper concerning the severely restricted use of the park on the tip vf St. Joseph's Peninsula by the public, someone remarked, "How can we be sure the same thing Won't happen to the Apalachicola River swamp if it is purchased by the State of Florida?" SThat's a pertinent and timely question. For years, the people of this area have.used this swamp as -One of their main sources of rec- reation through hunting and fish- .ing. Since the park was purchased rtiy the state for a public playground -and now the public has all sorts of :restrictions to using the "play- -ground", many can see the same -thing happening to the river :SWamp. SAt a recent hearing held here- regarding the purchase, this very Subject was raised and no definite answer was given. The only satis- faction we received was that the state people could see no reason for restricting hunting and fishing in the area but this decision would not be definitely made until the land was purchased. It has been stated that the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission would have the job of managing the area and an official of that body has said they will be interested in using the land for hunting and fishing. We still don't know for sure if the-people will have free access to the hunting and fishing grounds of the River watershed after and if the state buys it. We are certain that those interested in these ac- tivities should keep informed in the matter and use their influence to see that this privilege i: .aaintain- ed. It would be a pity, indeed, if this vast area of fine hunting and fishing should be declared off limits to people. PAGE 'WO oil at high prices. The second resolution was sent to the State of Florida expressing the county's con- cern over future use of the Apalachicola River basin now under condiseratiEpnfor pur- chase by the State of Florida. The resolution stated that Gulf Co(nty favoredTlhe pur- 'chase only..in the event peo- ple could continue to use the area as a hunting and fishing area as they have in the past. OTHER BUSINESS The Board also: . I Sanitary Plans for Beaches Gulf County twas asked by the Northwest Florida De velopment Council this week to join in a request by Mexico Beach and Bay County to gel matching grant to furnish engineering for a sewer and water system for the beaches area. The NWFDC pointed out in their request that the Department of Pollution Con trol had recommended the grant-75 percent govern- ment money and 25 percent local-to furnish the sanitary services for all the beaches area. The Council felt the grant would not be made unless this entire beach area is included in the program and intimated there would be no federal money available for any segment which failed to enter the planning pro- gram now. The county has already had some engineering work done and plans made for the bea- ches area in Gulf County but had not gone ahead with construction since federal grants had been cut off after the survey was made. The county agreed Tuesday to file an application of inter- est in the project and will meet with Bay County and Department of Pollution Con- trol officials in the next few days to have the program further explained. It appears the Pollution Control people are favoring one system to serve the en- tire area from St. Joe Beach through Mexico Beach. ASK FOR FIGURES The County Commission agreed to ask Tax Assessor Samuel A. Patrick for some figures by which a millage rate may be set for the new fiscal budget which goes into effect next month, so tax bills may be made out for mailing. To date, Patrick has given the Commission no figures, since the State of Florida has been assisting him in re-valu- ing real estate and personal property in the county to comply with Florida law. Patrick says they have given him no figures yet, by which he may make a valuation. The Board has asked that Patrick furnish them with a millage rate for at least the same value as the 1973-74 rate and provide an assessed value of new construction and improvements and the amount of increased exemp- tions granted. Patrick asked for the re- turn of $6,246.26 his office returned to the County the first of the year as excessive operating money. Patrick says the state has changed his fiscal year, and he needs at least some of the money to finish out his fiscal year. Finance Officer Jerry Gates said Patrick had only one month to go to his new fiscal year, so the County should get a good bit of the $6,246 back. The Board agreed to furnish Patrick with the funds. PARK PROBLEMS Commissioner Walter Gra- ham said the County had problems at the St. Joseph State Park. "The ambulance, Civil Defense or Sheriff can't get into the park after about 5:00 p.m., in case of emergency", he said. He went on to say that picnic tables had been removed, preventing local people from going to the park for a picnic, "even if they could get in". The entire Board is con- cerned with the limited use offered local people at the park and agreed to invite state and local park officials to the next meeting to discuss the matter. RESOLUTIONS SENT The Board sent two resolu- tions of concern to the proper authorities as the result of discussions held at Tuesday's meeting. The Board protested high foreign fuel costs which are driving electricity costs out of reach. The resolution cal- led on' the national govern- ment to take action against countries which are selling II I I II 'i Bowling News IIUI -::-iJI 4i^ 1mm *is -rn un m n mmm=Ma- i !

O. D. Strickland had a 521 for Shirt and Trophy. R. B. Richard- THOUGHT5 From The Living Bible But although he made the world, the world didn't rec- ognize him when he came.

RAMiSYi The article we printed in this space last week, written by editor Sam Griffin of the Post-Searchlight of Bainbridge, Ga., set me to thinking about several thinks akin to the ketchup and butter sandwiches he recalled so deliciously. I wonder how many of you ever had the unique experience of eating fried potato and mustard sandwiches? They went right well when I was a boy. That was my noon fare when I went to the cotton field to pluck a few bolls to earn 50c. I wasn't much of a cotton Dicker. The grower paid 50c a hundred pounds and it took me all day to earn 50c. But I could hold my own eating the fried potato and mustard sandwiches. I still like a good sandwich, but a fried potato and mustard sandwich may riot go down so good these days. I remember, too, I saved up 40 Post Bran Flakes box tops one time to get me a pair of roller skates. You hardly ever see a kid on a pair of roller skates any more, much less see one who wants a pair bad enough to save up 40 cereal box tops. I can't understand it, either. Roller skating use to be great fun when I was a kid. I remember well the day those skates came in the mail. I put them on and spent the day learning to skate. By the time the day was over, I could go all over town and not fall down. I was a stubborn cuss, even as a kid. One thing which encouraged roller skating when I was a kid was the fact that the little town we lived in had sidewalks over much of the town. We didn't have any roads fit for travel, but we had sidewalks. We didn't have an operating water system, except in the summer time, when the well didn't dry up due to the drought, but we had sidewalks. It seems that in the little oil boom town where we lived they built the sidewalks first, then ran out of money or else the boom began to sort of burp. Anyhow, we had only sidewalks. I remember, we didn't even have a sewage system of any sort. Several homes had indoor bathrooms, but most used them for an extra closet. All our bathrooms were outside. Some people had what was called "sanitary" privies. The Government was in the sewage business then, too. They sent men wiround and tried to encourage everyone to put in the "sanitary" privies rather than the open back variety. They helped, too. When the boys would turn them over on Hallowe'en, there was no danger of stepping in something nobody had any desire to step in. Those "sanitary" privies were popular for turning over. Anyhow, back to fried potato and mustard sandwiches. I'll bet editor Griffin never went out into the woods to pick "poke" greens for eating. Those went well with corn bread, but I would hate to eat them now. Too, I've heard Otis Pyle talk about "frying" mullet in water back in those "good old days". How one can "fry" a mullet in water, I don't know, but in those "good old days" if a thing could be done, someone did it. While we're on this nostalgia bit, I have,to report on an article I read the other day which said people still use a front porch for sitting oh up in Maine. After reading' the article, I tried to remember when was the last time I saw anyone sitting on the front porch. When was the last time you sat on the front porch? I did it about three or four weeks ago for about 15 minutes or so and felt strange. Several people went by in their cars while I was sitting on the front porch and I went inside before they arrived at the conclusion that I was stranger than I really am. What happened to sitting on the front porch? The only thing I can figure is that air conditioning did away with that favorite pass- time. We still build front porches, of sorts, on houses, but nobody uses them. We have a bench on our front porch, but it gets little use. According to this article I read, everyone in Northern Maine sits on the front porch of an evening to take advantage of the cool breeze and watch the people go by. It sounds like fun and I think I'll try it, some more at least until my air conditioffir is fixed. Carmen pulled up her skirts last week, showing her legs, and started for our 4rea. But, part way here, the lusty lady had a/change of heart and decided she wanted nothing to do with us, leaving us strictly alone. Thank you, Carmen, we appreciate it. Frenchie and I are alone at home now. The last bird has flown the nest (sort of) and for the first time in 26 years, there's only us in the house now. The last one has left home to go to school, but still depends on momma and daddy for that necessary cash. The transition has left us with a private bathroom apiece and a half gallon of milk now lasts nearly a week. The telephone rings only half as much as it formerly did and for thd first time in years, I can find all of my shirts in my closet. I'm not saying it's a pleasure having all the kids gone from home. I'm only saying it's different much different. THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1974 PAGE THREE Dam thrown across ditch keeps oil from getting into bay Sylvachem Suffers Oil Spill 6000 Gals. Bunker C Dumped Sylvachem Corporation's plant here in Port St. Joe narrowly averted an oil spill into St. Joseph's Bay Friday by quick and decisive action when a truck load of bunker C oil was spilled out on the ground while unloading at the plant. Over 6,000 gallons of the fuel oil was spilled in the accident. The problem was com- pounded by the heavy rains being experienced in the area at the time, according to plant manager George Wim- ber,ly. "If the heavy rains had not been falling, we could have contained and cleaned up the oil with no problem", Wimberly said. "As it was, the rains caused heavy water run-off into a ditch which led to the bay and the oil went with the water." The plant management quickly called for help from a construction firm working in the area and threw a dam across the ditch in which the oil was draining, just west of the old city sewage treatment plant. Then the long arduous task of collecting the oil began, with operations going through Friday, Friday night, all day Saturday and even part of the day Sunday. "We had state people in here soon after the spill", Wimberly said 'and we were able to collect all of the material to the complete sat- isfaction of the Department of Pollution Control and the Marine Patrol." The firm used an inert aggregate to soak up much of the oil by using bull dozers to spread the aggregate and pick up the oil soaked mater- ial and haul it off for burying. The oil floating on the rain water in the drain ditch was sucked up into tank trucks and hauled off to the same burying site. Wimberly said the cause of the spill was still under in- vestigation by plant officials. (Continued from Page 1) City The City owns no land in the area sufficient for such facilities, but- the Board agreed to begin work on the project and try to come up with a sloution which will be acceptable by the people of this part of the City. The City also adopted a resolution protesting high for- eign fuel prices which are driving up electricity costs.

It's time to do. just about everything in your Florida garden. Things' to consider are seedbed preparation and planting of a vegetable gar- den and annual flowers, gen- eral clean-up of the home grounds, planting hardy shrubs and preparation for overseeding your lawn. Also keep a watchful eye out for insects and diseases of lawns and ornamentals. If you want a fall garden for vegetables and flowers, start preparing a good plant- ing bed. Locate the plot in an area which receives full sun at lest half a day and stay away from large trees. Tree roots are strong competitors for fertilizer and water so plant your vegetables or an- nauls in a spot where trees won't compete. It's a good idea to amend the seedbed with colloidal phosphate and peat. Colloidal phosphate is a very finely divided clay-like material which will improve the properties of our sandy soils. It helps hold moisture and fertilizers in the soil. Any type of organic matter from peat moss to compost is also beneficial. Apply 100-200 pounds of colloidal phosphate and about 100-200 pounds of organic matter for each 100 square feet of bed and rototill into the soil to a six inch depth. Level the plot and allow it to settle. Then get ready to plant seed or small plants which can be purchased at garden stores. Hardy annuals, which will survive cold weather, you can plant in late Septem- ber include alyssum, calen- dula, candytuft, cleome, dian- thus, gaillardia, gerbers, babys breath, nasturtium, pansies, petunias, phlox, snapdragons, statice, sweet peas, verbena and violas. The list of vegetables is equally long. Try beets, broccoli, cab- bage, carrot, cauliflower, let- tuce, onions, radish, spinach, turnips, etc. These are just a few of the plants which can be started now. Your garden shops will have many more. Watch your lawn and orna- mental plants for pests. It's still warm enough for insects like scales, white flies, mites, aphids and caterpillars to be damaging shrubs. Sod web- worms and armyworms are ravaging many lawns and brown patch disease is a pro- blem. Watch out for these problems and start control measures as soon as you notice damage. Don't delay your fall gar- dening activities. There's a lot to be done now, and even more next month.

Prior to the hearings, legal notices were. run in the Panama City News Herald, Panama City, Florida, The Star, Port St. Joe, and Gulf County Breeze, Wewahitchka on December 27, 1973, and January 3, 1974, and on Feb ruary 25. 1974., and March 4, 1974. noticing the fact that public hearings would be held pursuant to Section 161.053, Florida Statutes, for the De- partment acting through the Division of Marine Resources, to establish a coastal construction setback line along the Gulf shoreline of Gulf County. Infdofnation including beach profiles and aerial photographs indicating the proposed location of the setback line and engineering data were placed on exhibition at Gulf County Courthouse, Highway 71, Port St. Joe, Florida, and the City Hall, Osceola Street, Wewa- hitchka, Florida.

We-don't have forests to burn described area submitted by the Coas- tal and Oceanographic Engineering Laboratory of the University of Flor- ida's College of Engineering (herein- after referred to as the Laboratory) through James A. Purpura, Professor of the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering. At the hearings, which were well attended, the opinions of affected pro- perty owners and of Interested persons ram the gamut from establishing the coastal construction setback line at the vegetation line to immediately behind the primary dune to having it establish- ed as recommended by the Laboratory. The public hearings showed that from Ranges 1 through 30 (along the mainland from the western boundary east some 30,000 feet) a dune existed approximately 200 feet landward of the mean high water line at an elevation of +10 feet to +12 feet mean sea level. From Ranges 35 through 80 (state park property) the dunes were much higher, ranging from +15 feet mean sea level to +35 feet mean sea level. Easterly from Range 81 they gener- ally decrease in height until Range 126 where the elevation is +12 feet mean sea level. From Range 126 to the eastern end of the county, with minimum exception, the elevation was less than 10 feet mean sea level. It should be noted that from Ranges 110 through 120, around Cape San Bias, the elevations were extremely low with a longer, low profile going into the Gulf. The Laboratory's report showed that the shore history indicates that St. Joseph Spit is migrating at St. Josedh Point and at Cape San Bias, but most of the Gulf side of the Spit is eroding; further, that east from the northern end of St. Joseph Spit the mainland to the north and west has undergone accretion over a period of time. The Spit, in general, has a line of dunes facing the Gulf; however, these dunes show severe scarp erosion. As pointed out earlier, the topography is very low north and east of Cepe San Bias, and the hearings further pointed out that because of this condition, flooding from the Gulf and Bay, would occur as a result of a severe storm or hurricane. Also, in the areas where the Spit is migrating and accreting there also shows a very low topography and these areas would be subject to over- topping and flooding in a severe storm or hurricane. The hearings and the Laboratory's report further brought out that the beaches of Gulf County are virtually free of destructive development and further brought out the fact that with destruction of the dune system, an acceleration of the Spit erosion pro- blem is imminent. Destruction of the dunes will take away the buffer pro- tection and sand.supply that is neces. sary during storm conditions. The Laboratory placed a permanent monumented baseline along the shore from the west to the east end of the county; that monumented stations were placed approximately 1,000 feet apart and were monumented in relation to the State Plane Coordinate System.

A total of 54 sounding lines were completed. An offshore profile was run at every third monument on the baseline. The Laboratory's report stated that while there is little available historic sounding data of the study area, ero- sion rates do not always indicate the short term fluctuations that occur on the beach. These fluctuations can be quite large in magnitude over a short term as a result of certain tide-wave conditions. A shoreline which may have an apparent long term trend of stability can suffer quite severe erosion with subsequent accretion, then erosion, and that during these cycles severe damage may occur. The Laboratory's repo. t showed that tide records in this area recorded in previous study and during the present study by a tide recorder at Mexico Beach peier showed that the tides are chiefly diurnal. Tide tables of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey show the mean diurnal tidal range at Port Saint Joe as 1.4 feet; further, that the most frequent wind speeds are between 7 and 16 knots. In the analysis recommending the location of the coastal construction set- back line, the Laboratory used the fol- lowing criteria: 1. A still water level storm tide of 8.2 feet was used for computing wave uprush. The storm tide level is the vertical rise in the still water level near the coast caused by wind stresses on the water surface. Wave setup is the superelevation of the water surface over normal surge elevation due to onshore mass transportation of the water by wave action alone.

Roberts mated the wave setup to 1.5 feet In the study-area. This 1.5 feet is included in the still water level storm tide of 8.2 feet. This 8.2 feet stillwater elevation wa' based on a predictable storm tide levdi for a 100 year period, or a storm tidewhich has,,a 10 per cent probability for occurring i( the next 10 years. To compute the wave uprush, the Laboratory used the composite slope -method for each of the profiles taken under storm conditions and added a wind wave of 6.0 feet in height and 12 second in period. This information was computerized and the result was how far landward the uprush would reach. One property owner owning property between Ranges 102 and 106, in addition to other areas, has indicated a desire to move the proposed setback. line sea- ward a distance of 75 feet based on placing of record restrictive covenants binding itself, its successors and assigns to certain uses and certain types of construction in the area men- tioned. which uses and construction would not interfere with the vegetation or dune system and would be of sufficient elevation to be above the 100 year flood line. These restrictions would apply to all construction taking place between the Laboratory's recommended line and a line 75 feet seaward between Ranges 102 and 106. (A copy of these restric- tions are attached hereto and labeled Exhibit 'A') FINDINGS After a personal inspection of the entire beach area of Gulf County and from the evidence at the public hear ings, and from the numerous letters received and the land use plan, as mentioned above, from the owner of property between Ranges 102 and 106, I find that for the protection of upland ____ ___ ___ M-P-Mam---W NWMNNMNM" properties and forthe control of beach erosion along the Gulf coast, It Is necessary that a setback line be esta- / blished as follows: 1. That the proposed coastal struction setback line-as recommend.. by the Laboratory be approved with ti exception of that area between Rang 102 and 106. 2. That the coastal construction se, back line between Ranges 102 and 106 b moved seaward as set forth above ande .the restrictive covenants mentioned above be filed of record. 3. That part of Gulf County lying between Ranges 159 and the eastern county line faces Indian Pass and, therefore is exempt from the provisions of Section 161.053, Florida Statutes. 4. That in recommending the setback line, the Laboratory considered, among other things mentioned in this report, the measured topographic factors, dune elevations, foreshore slopes, offshore slopes, adjacent profiles, upland deve- lopment and vegetation-bluff lines and erosion trends. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that: 1. A coastal construction setback line be established in Gulf County in accordance with findings above. 2. That every consideration be given to property owners for a variance upon a showing that the proposed construc- tion will not contribute to beach erosion or be detrimental to their own or to adjoining or adjacent properties; in the event existing structures are destroyed by fire or acts of God; and, in the tase of,new construction.

Also present were Deputy Sheriff Tom Berlin- ger, Clerk George Y. Core, Finance Officer Jerry Gates, Mosquito Control Superinten- dent Emmette Daniell, Road. Superintendent Lloyd Whit- field and Attorney Fred Wit- ten. The meeting came to order at 7:30 p.m. The Clerk offer- ed a prayer and led in the pledge of allegiance. The minutes from the meeting of August 13, 1974, were read, approved and adopted. Miss Jane Patton, Regional Librarian, presented to the Board a summary of the new services and facilities of the Gulf County libraries. In ad- dition, she requested the Board reconsider the $20,000 allocated to the libraries by the Board at its budget hear- ings and, instead, allocate $24,326 as originally request- ed. She added the big in- crease, percentage-wise, was needed since Gulf County had not raised its allocation in two to three years and every- thing had increased in price. The Board explained that since all budgets had been adopted property taxes would have to be increased, or other items in the budget cut, in order to meet this increase. The Board agreed to consider this budget increase once the total tax assessment is com- pleted by the Tax Assessor. Frances T. Kirkland told the Board he had presented a list of materials needed for shelter management to the Civil Defense Director at least six months ago and he urged the Board to assist the Director in obtaining this needed equipment. Mrs. Dorothy Myers report- ed that a group of citizens at Highland View had appointed two members to serve on the Highland View Water District and the names were supposed to have been submitted to the Board. The Board, unaware of this action, agreed to take the names of Rita Brown and Jackie Ragans under consi- deration pending investiga- tion of the district's charter by the Board's attorney. Bob Smith asked the Board to help in obtaining a 1l'2 mile easement for electrical ser- vice to four camps on the Brothers River. Comm. Whit- field suggested he and Mr. Smith meet with the property owners to obtain this ease- ment. In addition, the Chair- man directed the Clerk to write a letter to the owners of M K Ranches stressing the need for electrical service in this area. The Board received the fol- lowing employment applica- tions, Danny Kirkland (in person), Bobby W. Hitchcock. Margie L. Paukstis, Larry Lewis, Joel Adams, Rhonda Gainous and Hartford Lamar Causey. Dave Maddox reported to the Board on a conversation with a park ranger and the subsequent study of regula- tions adopted after conver- sion of St. Joseph's Peninsula into a wilderness preserve. He reported that in order to enter the preserve one must register, upon entering. and departing, with the park superintendent. In addition, they will not allow any more than 10 individual persons, or one group of 20 persons per day, on the 1600 acres. He stressed that preservation can surely occur without such stringent regulations. Emmett Daniell then report- ed that the County had been spraying this area for dog flies for 18 years, but had been stopped on the last attempt to spray. The Board, unaware of these rules, felt they could be relaxed with the help of Representative Rish. Comm. Graham said he was alarmed at the erosion of human rights in this County and he moved the Board's attorney prepare a resolution to send to the Park Service asking for a reorganization of these rules so that the people can use this area, that the County be allowed to spray for dog flies in this area at their will, and, in addition, that this Board be notified before any rules are passed effecting any property in this THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1974 County. Commissioner Whitfield se- conded the motion and it pas- sed unanimously. The Clerk reported that the beach voting precinct would be located on the corner of Highway 98 and Magellan in St. Joe Beach. Comm. Davis then reported that Precinct Two voting station would be in the red barn on Louie Sir- mons property adjacent to the Wewahitchka Bank. The Road Superintendent was in- structed to erect signs at these two locations to fami- liarize the public with the new voting stations. The Clerk reminded the Board of the next regular County Commission meeting being held at 9:00 A.M. Mon- day, September 9, one day earlier than usual. In addi- tion, there will be an organ- izational meeting of the Tax Adjustment Board at 4:30 P.M., Wednesday, August 28, 1974. The Clerk then presented quit-claim deeds for ease- ments on county streets from the following people: 1. Charley Gaskin and wife Rosselle Gaskin; Alfred Whit- field and Angeline Whitfield, street in Weweahitchka. 2. Charles Cleckley and wife Betty Cleckley; C. M. Parker; City Commissioners of Wewahitchka, street in Wewahitchka. 3. C. M. Parker and wife Frances C. Parker, streets in Red Bull Subdivision. Comm. Whitfield moved the streets be accepted on approval of the Road Super- intendent. Comm. Davis se- conded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Clerk reported that Pete Comforter had received notice his temporary ambu- lance. license will expire August 31, 1974. Comm. Player reported that H. L. Anderson had been elected squad leader for the ambulance service and ser- vice is expected to begin. August 31, 1974. Mr. Ander- son reported that they will need certain supplies and incur other expenses that will need to be paid by the Board. The Board authorized Mr. Anderson to be in charge of these expenditures, sign all invoices for payment, and present these invoices to the Board for payment. The Clerk reported that since ordering 10' of fill hose 5" in diameter in August the price had increased from the bid price of April by $132.70. The Board authorized the purchase at the new price. The Board received notice that by January 1, 1975, local governments shall adopt an interim building code which covers all types of construc- tion. There are seven choices available. The Board agreed to study this matter further. The Clerk reported that several people have com- plained about the ballot for the September 10 election, now on exhibit in several places. He said that for the public's general information. the ballot was not prepared by anyone in this County as the names were sent to the Secretary of State by the Clerk for the Board of County Commissioners. The ballot was then prepared by the American Voting Machine Company and approved by the Secretary of State. Comm. Davis asked the Road Superintendent when junk cars in Wewahitchka could be picked up and was notified that the landfill site has no room for them at the present time. Upon question by Comm. Davis, about a new landfill site at Wewahitchka, the Mosquito Control Supeririten- dent reported that Paul Grooms is writing a letter to St. Joe Paper Company on behalf of the Woodlands Divi- sion, concurring with the selection of the site. Comm. Davis reported that Mr. Kendrick in Wewahitch- ka is requesting a ditch ad- joining his property be back- filled. Comm. Whitfield moved the ditch be backfil- led. Comm. Davis seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Comm. Davis reported that he doesn't believe the truck now in use by O'Neal McDan- iel to haul the voting mac- hines will hold up for the present election. Comm. Gra- ham moved the Board adver- tise for bids to be opened on September 9, 1974 at 9:00 A.M. on one 1974, short-wheel base, standard pick-up truck, as per specifications on file in the Clerk's Office. Comm. Whitfield seconded the motion and it passed unani- mously. In addition, the Board directed the Road Superintendent to furnish a truck for use in transporting the voting machines, until the new vehicle arrives. Comm. Davis reported that the Willis Landing launching ramp needs a load of sand to be mixed with the clay. The Road Superintendent agreed to attend to this matter as soon as the rain slacks up. Comm. Graham reported that the courthouse in Wewa- hitchka needs more mainte- nance and lawn care and he Should like the Board's per- mission to clean the building and cut the grass at least once a month. The Board agreed. Comm. Graham reported that a group of ladies work- ing on beautification of Holly Hill Cemetery wanted to know if the Board would assist in paving the streets in the cemetery. The Board agreed to work with the City on this project. Comm. Graham requested the Board inquire about fur- nishing insurance for the vol- unteer fire departments in Highland View and White City. The Board agreed that these men should be insured while going and coming from fires, as well as while fight- ing the fire. Comm. Graham reported that the pavement on 13th Street between Garrison and Marvin is bursting. Comm. Davis moved this road be paved ih the new budget. Comm. Whitfield seconded the motion and it passed un- animously. Comm: Graham requested permission from the Board to make a valley ditch out of an alley in. Oak Grove to im- prove drainage in the area. The Board granted permis- PAGE EIGHT MINUTE S Board of County Commissioners Gaffney Gets Degree at A&M sion. Comm. Graham asked if there had been any change in the nepotism law which pro- hibits hiring of employees related to public officials. The Attorney reported there was no change, and, upon request, the Clerk read the law from the Florida Sta- tutes. Comm. Graham reported * that there are four homile1J in -Whitfe-qtf'C.Y16tha. need a drainage ditch badly. Commni Player agreed to check with teh Department of Transpor- tation to see if the Board could enter a nearby state ditch to improve drainage. Comm. Graham reported that Shorty Parrish, north of White City, needs a drainage ditch to drain standing water in the area which has caused health problems in the area. The Board instructed the Mosquito Control Superinten- det to inspect the ditch for msoquito larvae. Emmette Daniell asked the Board to advertise for a trailer to haul the new trac- tor recently purchased. He reported this item was in- cluded in his budget. Comm. Whitfield moved the Board advertise for bids to be open- ed on September 9, 1974 at 9:00 a.m. on a trailer, as per specifications on file in the Clerk's office. Comm. Davis seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Emmette Daniell requested the boat owned by the Mos- quito Control Superintendent be used by the Civil Defense, Sheriff's department and the Board of County Commission- ers, upon emergency request. The Board directed Mr..dDan- iell to allow use upon proper request. There being no further bus- iness, the meeting adjourned.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1974 PAGE NINf: Report Changes In Earnings Students 18-22 getting social security checks should report changes in their earnings, school enrollment and mari- tajMliatps, to social security, S according o Dav,-iP.9eRpIbin- son, Social Security Field Re-- presentative for Gulf County. Over 650,000 students 18 and over get monthly social - security payments because a parent gets disability or re- tirement benefits or has died. Students can continue to get payments to age 22-or slightly beyond for under- graduates-as long as they remain full-time students and unmarried. "Students getting checks should notify social security immediately if they marry, leave school, or start attend- ing on a part-time basis so we can stop their monthly Payments as required by law," Robinson said. Changes in total yearly earnings from part-time or temporary jobs can also af- fect social security payments to students. "If you're a student getting payments and know your earnings for 1974 will, be over $2,400, you should report that to social security," he said. "Otherwise, you might get benefits you'll have to pay back later." Social security payments are reduced by $1 for every $2 earned over $2,400 in a year. No matter how much they earn for the year, people can get their full social' secur- ity payment for any month in which they neither earn $20 nor do substantial work 1i Say You Saw It In The Star! their own business. Transfers from one school to another should also be re- ported to social security by ' IttlMAft getting, social secur- ity payments, according to Robinson. "If you have questions about social security pay- ments to students 18 an(; over, you can get answers b writing, visiting or calling; any social security office, he said.
