City Receiving Bids On Sewer Rehab Projects The regular meeting of the Port St. Joe City 'Commission was not held Tuesday night, as regularly scheduled for sev- eral reasons. The main reason for postponing the meeting, which will be held next Tues- day, night, was to receive sealed bids for the first phase of the planned sewer system rehabilitation work. The City's engineers, Smith and Gellispie of Jacksonville, have notified the Commission that bids for the first phase of the project are returnable. next Tuesday. Included in the bids to be taken into consideration next week, include the rehabilita- tion of the three main lift stations in the City as well as construction of a new force- main trunk line. Included in the project will be a complete new lift station at the corner of 16th Street and Long Avenue. This station collects sewage from the most populated section of the City, pumping 'it through a large main to the sewage treatment' plant. The station is now some 30 years old and is inadequate in size as well as being aged. Plans call for an under- ground lift station, with some of the machinery involved placed in a building above ground Plans call for enlarg- ing the station considerable to take care of the additional load which has been thrown on the site in the past several years. The building above ground will be in keeping with the neighborhood structures, which are dwelling houses. The engineers say their design will make the plant look like just another family dwelling. The new force-main instal- lation will be a 12-inch pres- sure main from the 16th Street lift station to Avenue A where it will connect to the main trunk line leading to the disposal plant. The new line will augment the inadequate main which now serves the area. Engineers blame the small line, designed to serve far less people than it is now serving, as the cause of many sewer problems in the area. The lift stations at First Street and at the hospital are due for some extensive re- building, which will be cover- ed under the bid next Tuesday. All lift stations will be sup- .(Continued on Page 2) Mrs. Rosa Dora Dykes, Long-Time Resident, Taken by Death April 18 Mrs.Rosa Dora Dykes, 74, a 'resident of 204 Duval St:, Oak Grove, died Thursday morn- ing in Municipal Hospital.

The Jaycees sponsor the annual event to encourage young boys and girls to learn to handle their bikes better in traffic situations and to pro- mote bike safety. The several exercises in the competition require bike riding and hand- ling skill, such as riding a bike for 50 feet, between two lines three feet apart, and taking up to a minute or more to go the distance. The young cyclers are put through their paces, given tips on bike safety and treated to refreshments after it's all over. Shown in the photo above are the winners of the rodeo, which offers competition in three age groups. The winners, by age groups were: 6-8, David Miller, Kyle Grossman and Tyler Ma- thews. 9-10.

The occupant of the vehicle was able to get out before it sank in about 20 feet of water. Deputy Mike White, who is a certified diver, went into the water and attached cables to the truck so it could be hauled from the canal. The driver, John A.

Noting that water hya- cinths in the Dead Lakes, located in Gulf and Calhoun Counties, have plagued fis- hing interests for years, Shields said the agencies hope release of the weevil will contribute to the even- tual control of the noxious weed. Release of the weevil in Florida has been approved by both federal and state agencies. A native of South America where it helps control water hyacinths, the bug is "host specific," meaning it only eats water hyacinths and not other plants. Once the weevil has depleted the food supply of hyacinths, it will starve and then die, making it ideal for control of the weed. As the bug is a slow.. worker, it may two to five: years before visible control- of the water hyacinths is. noted. And the bug does not. fly, one reason for the, limited distribution. . Dead Lakes is noted for fine shellcracker and bass fishing, attracting sports- men from throughout the nation. ISCents Per Copy I ( t PAGE TWO THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

Barron sounded the keynote bfr the 1975 session of the legislature when he called on the legislature to reduce the .insatiable spending desires of :"he bureaucrats and provide :{he people of Florida with :better service at less cost. ; The drastically reduced ;tate revenue, which has been ,-ard hit by the national eco- -nomic condition, has put the :job of holding the spending Iine to the funds available on t.:he shoulders of the legisla- 'i:re, even to the point of pos- 'ibly cutting the proposed : propriations bill of Gover- boating accidents on nearby Chesa- peake Bay. The nurses, as well as the doctors and back-up personnel, are known as a special breed, and none of them have any lack of horror stories to tell. But, of all the horror stories, the ones that bother the staff most are the drunks. Says one nurse: "I never knew what a drunk driver was until I came here. Now'I know; a drunk' driver is a killer-drunk drivers are legal killers." The summer season is close by, and thousands of vacationers and tourists will soon be on the high- ways. And of all, the dangers they face, the most menacing of all will, be the drunk driver. One of the greatest favors the police and courts can do for the American people is to get the drunk driver off the road, and keep him off. Keynote Sounds Reduce Spending s.r Akew. There is no question that Florida's dollars will be short, however, that does not mean the services being rendered cannot be continued with pru- dent spending and planning, and with the elimination of non-essential programs. Strong priorities must be esta- blished by the state agencies. Furthermore, to accomplish the required services in all areas and meet the needs of the people, each agency and worker must put'forth a little more effort and dedication. Money and the reorganiza- tion of major agencies are the primary factors before the legislature in addition to tak- ing strong action to curb crime in Florida. which is threaten- ing the citizens of our state as they walk the streets. We must protect the people from the criminal element. The front line of that protec- tion will be to bring a halt to releasing criminals before they have served only a few months or years of their terms. Stop coddling crimi- nals and you will stop crime. The legislature moved for- ward in an unprecedented manner during last week. Ses- sions were held early and major legislation began mov-. ing.

While the Senate was acting, the House version of the reor- ganization of the department was approved by the House Governmental Operations Committee, where it now goes to the Appropriations Com- mittee of the lower chamber. Another major piece of leg- islation in effect cleared the Senate Committee on Natural Resources which provides for the reorganization of the en- vironmental agencies.

There is no indica- tion at this time when the measure will come before the Senate. The legislature had one of its busiest first weeks in its history with numerous pieces of legislation passing, includ- ing a bill which would repeal the law requiring newspapers to give candidates for political office or public officials space to reply to critical editorials. Accomplishments reflect the advance planning and committee work and the final efforts of the legislature in serving the public should be most fruitful. For Ambulance Call 227-2311 Tuesday, the State Cabinet approved $25,000 toward the installation of a sand transfer system in the canal at Mexico Beach to keep it opened to navigation. Estimated cost of the installation and first year operating expense is esti- mated at $50,000, of which the state agreed to furnish the Town of Mexico Beach $25,000. Mexico Beach is obligated to furnish $12,500 and Bay Coun- ty is obligated to furnish $12,500 in matching. funds. Mexico Beach is presently asking for contributions from those who would like to contri- bute to this project. There are many boat own- ers in Gulf County who use the canal for fishing and recrea- tion as well as housing their boats in one of the three marinas at Mexico Beach.

I got into a discussion with a couple of school teachers the other day about whether or not a teacher should be eligible to receive unemploy- ment compensation during the two months of the summer when they are not working. The teachers had their argument down pat about how they were-only paid for 10 months of the year and they reasoned, by this situation, that their pay was for only 10 months work-and they were eligible for the unemployment pay for the other two months. I disagreed with them. In our viewpoint, a teacher is hired for a year, since they work on an annual salary basis. Teachers, in Gulf County at least, have the. option of receiving their annual pay in,10 equal payments, once each month, or 12 equal payments on a monthly basis. Most choose the 12 month option so they will have income every: month of the year. Some teachers are on an annual contract, which means they are re-hired on an annual basis, with no guarantee of being re-hired for the next year. These may have a little better case in claiming they are unemployed for the two month period even though they, too, are paid on the basis of an annual salary. Those on an annual contract know before the current school year is completely over whether or not they will be asked back the following year. If they are not i asked back, they could have a legitimate claim:. at unemployment compensation- Those on a continuing contract can have no possible claim to unemployment compensation, the way we see it. They are employed, again, on an annual salary basis, and they know they will have a job the following year unless they commit some of the reasons for a teacher being let go. They all know what the reasons are which will -result in their termination. They also know the school board has to prove their case when a teacher on continuing contract is terminated. We're not arguing the point of whether or not teachers are underpaid. We simply claim they are not eligible for the unemployment compensa- tion pay. This sum of money is made available for those who are laid off from work for for those who are laid off from work for reasons I they are noQ-epoilbr'fodr':'In theseTifd; "th re i is barely enough in the fund to pay legitiffte claims to those workmen who have had the money to those who are not in the predicament they should be in to receive the payments. A case in point. In our own leading industry, there are those who work on an annual salary. When the year starts, they know they are going to get so much money from their employer, St. Joe Paper Company, for the number of days the company requires them to work for thatsalary. Some of these people have worked with the company for 30 years and are now eligible for six weeks vacation. This is nearly as much time off as every school teacher gets each and every summer. In our way of looking at it, if the school teacher is eligible for unemployment compensa- tion during the two months they are off from work, the employee of St. Joe Paper Company, on an annual salary, is also eligible during the: six weeks he is off on vacation. As I understand it, a loose interpretation of the unemployment compensation law has opened the door for school teachers to claim the payments during their two months of vacation in the summer time. We feel this loophole should be examined and closed by the current session of the legislature. If a school teacher was paid on an hourly schedule at a rate commensurate with industry, they might have a claim for the payments. Since . they sign a contract to work as much as required during the school year for: an annual salary, we feel they have no legitimate claim. Some teachers may make a claim on the - funds this summer. If I were a teacher, I might . also. The fact remains, though, that the money was made available for those out of a job and if a teacher does not have his usual work schedule interrupted with a lay-off, he is not out of a job and has no legitimate claim.

Officials told the huge crowd they would not lose anything by the action, but rather they would gain in continued. low power bills and Gulf Coast currently has the lowest rates of any cooperative in the state, they were told. Alabama Electric, it was explained,,is solely a power- generating and transmission cooperative, and the transfer would'allow Gulf Coast sub- scribers to take advantage of lower rates than adjacent *cooperatives and fewer rate increases in the future. Archie Gordon, a consulting engineer for Gulf Coast, warned that the Wewahitchka- based cooperative would soon need $3,638,000 for capital out-' lay regarding the transmis- sion and sub-station facilities for which Alabama Electric would assume responsibility if the change is made. SGulf Coast will continue its role in retail distribution to its members. "You will not be missing one thing," Gordon declared .con- cerning the deal with Ala- bama Electric.
