It's Budget Time!


Hang onto your pocketbooks; it's
budget time and indications are that
this year's budget will be a doozy. The
County Commission started work on
their fiscal 1975 budget Tuesday night
in a marathon five hour session which
was continued on into Wednesday
morning.
'From indications of the requests for
funds from County superintendents
and officials Tuesday night, fiscal 1975
will be an expensive tax year,
even with drastic cuts in the requests
by the Commission. Only one depart-
ment-the Mosquito Control Depart-
ment-presented a budget with a
reduction. Department superintendent
Emmett Daniell gave the Board a
budget request which was $7,380 less
than last year, but a salary increase
negotiated for the Road Department
at the meeting was also applied to the
Mosquito Control men cutting the
department reduction to only $2,325.
The big budget-Road and Bridge


Department-came to the attention of
the Board first. Superintendent Lloyd
Whitfield told the Board he would need
a whopping $600,364 for next fiscal
year, even before the salary increases
were granted. The Board set right into
the job of cutting the request down to
$463,013.08 before leaving this partic-
ular request for the night. The Road
Department had $367,666.48 in its
budget for last year.
Employees of the Road Department
were present at the meeting making a
pitch for more salary money in the
next fiscal year. The Board had given
the Road Department men an in-
crease of 10c per hour three months
ago as a cost of living raise, but the
employees said it wasn't nearly
enough with present day prices.
After negotiating activities between
the Board and the men of the Road
Department, the Commission agreed
to give the men another 25c per hour
and assume their part of their retire-


ment contributions on January 1.
Florida Jaw would require the Board
to assume this payment on October of
next year. Taking over the retirement
contributions would give the em-
ployees an additional four percent
increase in salary.
The same wage increase was also
applied to the Mosquito Control em-
ployees.

Tentative approval was also given
to hire four more men in the Road
Department. The. Department for-
merly operated with a force of 23 men.
Since assuming the responsibilities of
making secondary road repairs, the
Department has had to assign six men
to this duty and are now operating
with 25 men.
The Road and Bridge Department
was financed last fiscal year by race
track money and Secondary Road
maintenance money received from the
State of Florida. Any increase in the


budget will supposedly require more
of the race track money which must
be removed from other budgets and
replaced with taxes.

COLLECTOR'S BUDGET UP
Harland Pridgeon asked the Board
to increase his budget and let him
finance through the county bookkeep-
ing system rather than go through the
state office. He said the move would
simplify record keeping and also allow
the county to retain several fees
collected by his office and now sent to
the State of Florida. The Tax Collector
requested a budget of $62,000 for an
increase of $18,000 over last year.
Approximately $14,000 of the budget
would be financed by fees collected by
his office.

Pridgeon listed increased salaries,
higher supplies cost and the cost of
computer rental as the reasons for his
budget increase.


SHERIFF NEEDS MORE
Sheriff Raymond Lawrence also pre-
sented his budget which reflected an
increase of 25 percent over last fiscal
year.
Lawrence said the wage and hour
law now required him to pay overtime
and this item alone would increase his
salary schedule considerably. To re-
duce overtime, Sheriff Lawrence in-
cluded provisions for another deputy
.in his new budget. He stated that
increased costs alone would make it
mandatory that an additional $32,911
be levied to provide just the services
which were provided last year. The
Sheriff's budget last year was $184,866.
He is asking for $231,240 in fiscal 1975.
The Sheriff said that in addition to
the additional man, salary increases,
gasoline and automobile increases, he
wishes to purchase an additional $2,-
200 in crime detection equipment in
the next fiscal year. "We're going


after the dope business next year, and
this equipment is necessary in order
for us to be successful."

RECESS
After the Sheriff's budget was pre-
sented, the Board recessed until Wed-.
nesday morning. Still to be heard was
the Veteran's Service Officer, Civil
Defense and the General Fund.
No indication was given as to what
these departments would ask for, but
Civil Defense Director Richard Lan-
caster told The Star he would ask for
a 14 percent increase in his $19,000
budget.
Salaries, supplies and fuel seem to
be the vehicle all departments are
using to justify their requests for more
funds and none can deny these items
are higher. What the County Board
will do to meet the needs and still stay
within their millage limits will prob-
ably be the subject of several meet-
ings in the next month.


Sand Mining Operation


Slated for Wewahitchka


A builders' sand mining
firm told the Gulf County
Commission Tuesday night,
they would begin mining a
deposit of high quality sand
near the Dead Lakes soon if
financing of equipment could
be arranged.
Boi White-'and -Dave' La-
tham of the Panhandle Min-
ing Development Company of
'Tallahassee told the Board
they had discovered the buil-
ders' sand on about 200 acres
of property they owned near
'the Dead Lakes and wanted
to put in the mining opera-
tion. White told the Board his
firm wished the County
Board to give them permis-
sion to float industrial reve-
nue bonds under the name of
the county for the operation.
White said the proposed
financial arrangements were
being used in several areas
throughout the nation to al-
low firms to borrow money at
lower interest rates. The
County would participate in
the loan, but have no liability
in the matter. In the plan, the
firm would issue the indus-
trial revenue bonds in the
name of the county, securing
them with the machinery
purchased and the property
on which the mining opera-
tion is to take place. The firm


representatives said they al-
ready had a Tallahassee
bank committed to loan the
money under the proposed
arrangement.

Attorney William J. Rish
assured the Board they would
-have ndo hiabiit in' their mat-
ter. Rish said, "It won't
'impair the County's credit or
require any taxes. It's mere-
ly a conduit for financing
since it will allow lower in-
terest rates due to the fact


James L. Maddox, 83, a
resident of 103 Hunter St.,
Oak Grove, died Tuesday,
July 16 in Bay Memorial
Hospital. Before his retire-
ment he was employed by the
turpentine industry.
Survivors include: two
sons, William Ralph Maddox,

step-son, Sam Bradley of
Panama City; four daugh-
ters, Mrs. Josephine Smith of

Green of Lake City, Mrs.
Videll Young, Henderson,


interest on such bonds are
tax free."
Latham told the Board the
firm was adhering strictly to
environment control policies
and there would be no chance
of polluting the Dead Lakes.
Latham said the mining
operation would employ six
to 10 people.
The County Commission
gave its approval for the
financial arrangements.

We're Not Convinced


All Damming Bad


We haven't been that convinced
that dating of the Apalachicola
River was such a bad thing. While
we opposed the previous plans of
the Corps of Engineers for a series
of dams above Blountstown, we
would like to see more of their
latest proposal.to construct a run of
the river dam to be able to form an
opinion based on facts rather than
emotion.
We believe, like Major Tom
Garrison put it at the hearings on
River land purchase last Monday,
that wise use should be made of the
river and its environs, rather than
a prohibition of use. We think the
plans to purchase the land on each
side of the river by the state is wise
use, since, apparently we will be
able to retain recreational use of
the lands. If such use isn't allowed,
we will be opposed to the purchase.
But back to the dam.
,According to the Corps of En-
gineers'.- preliminary statement,
they want to construct one dam
above Blountstown just high
enough to mairitain' a nine foot
channel. The Engineers also say
that a four foot reading at Blounts-
town will give them a nine foot
channel. Their description points to
a low level dam much like the one
at the end of the Dead Lakes,
which would allow the River to run
all the time, regardless of the
reading at Blountstown and once
the. channel back of the dam is
filled, the water depth this side of
its location would not be affected.
Getting back to Monday's hear-
ings,- the,.Department of Natural
Resources':peopMle, in making their
pitch for the purchase of the lower
river lands, made the statement
that their biological experts had
examined the flood plain in the


area planned for purchase and
came up with thieinformation that
nutrients from this flood plain fur-
nishes all the food for seafood
production in Apalachicola Bay and
its estuary. Since this is the main
emotional objection to the Corps' of
Engineers' plans for a run of the
river dam north of Blountstown,
the DNR people have just about
riddled the most effective argu-
ment against the Corps' dam full of
holes.

Apalachicola interests have
been opposing the dam on the basis
that it would cut off the food supply
for their oyster industry. Since the
biologists say this food comes from
the flood plains within 25 miles of
Apalachicola and since the Corps of
Engineers statements say their
planned dam would not impede the
flow of the River, what prgVrnent
can we, ,se now against their
request? : *'" .
If the proposed dam would
allow all lower river activities to
proceed as they have for years and
would also serve the purpose of
allowing commerce on the upper
river, we can see no harm in telling
the Corps to go ahead. Not only
would it help Florida economically,
but it would also aid our neighbors.
Who can tell when we might need
their help in return?
Again, we think the dam would
help the sports aspects of the lower
river. Now the Corps uses exten-
sive dredging to keep their channel
open. They say the proposed dam
would cut this dredging need dras-
tically. We feel that curtailed

dredging would do far more to
enhance fishing and hunting on the
river than the dam may possibly
impede.


Expectation Worst


Inflation is a startling thing.
One never knows from one day to
the next what he will have to pay
for a given item. Governmental
agencies in Gulf County, and else-
where, are finding it hard to get
bids on items they wish to pur-
chase because vendors don't know
what some items will cost when
they are delivered. In many in-
stances, it would be cheaper for the
governments to buy without bid on
the day an item is needed rather
than go through the formalities and
have their desired item increase in
price before delivery is finally
'made.
On the individual level the
citizens are grumbling about their
high electric bills, their high food
bill, their high clothing bill, their
high everything. But, even though
things are high, there isn't a whole
lot of indication that many people
are doing without things they want


merely because the price is high.
drive around Port St. Joe, glancir
in the yards of our citizens wi
prove that. They have just aboi
anything a person could wan
several cars, nice boats, camper
power tools, recreational equip
ment, nice homes, etc. And, mo
every home has the windows shu
indicating the air conditioner insic
is running, regardless of the hig
electric bill.

Inflation scares everybody:
since most people have sens
enough to know that things mu:
eventually go in the opposite dire'
tion. While inflation means hig
prices, it also means the money
available to buy these things w4
desire. We believe the worst thin
about inflation is the expectation
when the day will come when th
prices-and wages-start falling
from the present levels.

A "jackup," where steel
rigs are placed on the bottom
and the drilling platform is
jacked up above the waves;
or
A steel or concrete
platform extending from the
seabed to a height safely
above the storm waves.
Platforms of this latter
type are designed to
withstand storms of the
greatest intensity recorded
over the previous 100 years
in the area of the rig.
Such platforms are con-
structed to withstand hurri-
cane force winds, hurricane
driven waves, strong cur-
rents and floating ice where
weather patterns warrant
these extreme precautions.
A number of separate
wells may be drilled from a
single large platform. Some
of these wells are drilled into
different earth formations.
Others are drilled into the
same structure but at dif-
,.',ferent- angles so that they
.may '"bottom" at selected
locations often as much as a
mile laterally from the site
of the platform itself.
Drilling platforms at sea
generally have fully e-
quipped living quarters for
the crews. They are also


equipped with heliports, and
complete sewage and waste
treatment systems.
If oil or gas or both -
are found in commercially
significant quantities, pre-
parations are made to
change the platform from
drilling to production opera-
tions.
Once drilling is completed,
production casing is placed
in the hole and cemented into
place.
An additional, smaller
pipe, called "tubing" -
through which the petroleum
is to flow is usually
suspended within the in-
nermost string of casing
from an assemblage of
valves and other equipment
at the wellhead.
The wellhead assembly -
called a "Christmas tree" -
is a series of valves, controls
and connections designed to
regulate the flow of fluids
Trom the well.
Downhole safety valves
are installed in the tubing
string below the ocean floor.
These devices are designed
to automatically shut off the
well when flow pressures
vary from predicted norms.
Some of the valves are


Guidance

Clinic

Growing

Started 4 PatiqPnts
In A Year -.'."

Service by the Gulf County
Guidance Clinic has grown
from 24 patients the first
year of its operation to a
present 200 patients now be-
ing treated, Dr. Wayne Con-
ger, psychologist told the Ro-
tary Club last Thursday.
The clinic was started in
1967 on a part time basis,
operating out of the Gulf
County Health Department
and now has its own quarters
on Williams Avenue, which
will soon be renovated to
accommodate the Clinic.
Presently, the clinic is locat-
ed in a rented building on
Reid Avenue.
"One of our biggest prob-
lems is removing the idea
from the citizens that we
treat only crazy people", Dr.
Conger said. "These 'crazy'
people are a minor part of
our patient load", he said.
"We help people with all
sorts of problems; marital
difficulties, people who feel
things are not going right,
disturbed people, students
with parent and teacher prob-
lems and many others which
are far from driving a person
crazy". As ,the Doctor des-
cribed it, the clinic serves as
sort of a pseudo mother or
big brother for those who
have problems they don't
know how to handle.
The speaker said that dur-
ing the coming year, the
clinic will strive to increase
the present staff'which con-
sists of Dr. Conger and two
other psychologists working
here out of the Bay County
Mental Health Clinic along
with two full time staff mem-
bers. Dr. Conger said he
hopes to secure the services
of a full-time psychologist
during the next year. The
clinic also will try to estab-
lish a day care center for
patients released from the
state's mental hospitals -.
Treatment of alcohol and
drug problems are also on
the agenda for an increased
service.


The married couple which
fights together stays
together. Right. or wrong?
If 'you guessed' wrong,
you're wrong. Right is the
right answer.
Now if you're not confused
enough, let's put it plainly: A
good argument or fight now
and then actually enhances a
couple's relationship instead
of hurting it. And don't take
my word for it, that's the
partial comments of a
Florida State University
Counselor, Dr. Tom Dowd.
Here's part of what he
says: "Conflict is inevitable
in any kind of intimate
relationship and if properly
' handled, it's natural and
good not something to be
swept under the rug."
Now the kicker in that
statement is the phrase "if
properly handled." That's
where most couples go
wrong. They just don't know
how to fight.
Dowd also reinforces an
argument advanced fre-
quently by this column
that couples tend to argue
about peripheral things, not
the main issues. Most
common argument topics
are the mother-in-law,
cooking, tidiness of one or
the other and whether or not
they put the cap back on the
toothpaste tube.
Dowd says each couple
should have an action plan.
They should talk things out
more often. And this is where

most couples go wrong -
they either can't or won't
communicate with one
another.
That argument you had
last night over the grits
being too lumpy actually had
nothing to do with the grits -
it was because he had gotten
chewed out by his boss
Friday afternoon and that
was his way of taking it out
on someone else.
And when she made a
federal case out of his
leaving his dirty clothes in
the bathroom, it was simply
because her hair stylist put
one too many fingaloos in her
hairdo that morning.
There is a real art to
talking with husbands or
wives. Oftentimes you find
that one or the other simply
tunes the other out.
But, be careful, you never
know for sure whether
they're tuned in or not. Take
this sample for an example:
He: "Would you like to go
out for dinner and dancing
this weekend?"
She: "Yes dear."
He: "Don't you wish you
were married to Rock
Hudson?"
She: "Yes dear."
He: "Isn't it a shame that
Liz and Richard finally got
divorced?"
She: "Yes dear."
He: "I don't suppose ydu'd
mind if I went out with the
boys to play poker tonight?"
She: "NO, dear."


might endanger life or
property, or cause an oil
spill.
The care taken to prevent
blowouts and oil spills from
undersea drilling and pro-
duction operations has
produced an exceptional
safety record. During the
drilling of the more than
17,000 such wells in U.S.
waters, only a few have ex-
perienced blowouts.

It looks like several tax payers agreed with
us last week in our contention that subdivision
developers -should be required to build their
own roads before they are accepted by the
county on plats.
We had hardly opened the doors last
Thursday morning before the phone started
ringing with people saying they felt as we did
about the matter.
We'll probably hear more about this in the
days to come.

With the election campaign beginning to
'get in full swing, I see where some of the
state-wide candidates are having trouble find-
ing contributions to their election campaigns.
What with the current open season on cam-
paign contributors, its small wonder that
those who are prone to contribute to a
candidate they favor are reluctant to do so. Not
only is the resulting publicity embarrassing to
the contributor and contribute alike, it is also
expensive hiring lawyers to prove that they did
no wrong.
'Even legal contributions are tainted these
days, what with the sensational stories being
dredged up, mostly out of the garbage heap by
garbage pickers.

Everything isn't falling apart, though. We
still see a sense of values floating around. For
instance, I see by the papers where former
Beatle John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono
Lennon are being ushered out of the country as
undesirables.
The Lennons are being asked to leave
because of a 1968 conviction for possessing
marijuana in Britian. I may be hard-headed
and unfair but I think there are plenty of other
reasons to ask them to leave. We don't heed
citizens like that in this country. We can raise
all we need right here without importing them.
So, goodbye and good riddance, John and
Yoko.

Frenchie and I slipped off and went to a
movie Friday night. We went to see Papillon.


The film was the story of a French criminal
and his banishment to Devil's Island. Those
French didn't play around with a criminal if
the film was based on any figment of fact.
Of course, the prison has since been
abandoned and, evidently, the manner of
treating prisoners which was practiced there.
If anything could deter a criminal from
repeating a crime, it would be a short stay on
Devil's Island.


The Turks and Greeks seem to be resuming
their centuries-old feud over Cyprus. Ever
since the beginning of recoroect history those
two nations have been at each other's throat
and while a delegation from the United States
may pull them apart for the moment, the will
to fight will still be there and they will
probably resume their jousting at another day.

Old Diz has flung his last fast ball and
mangled his last word. I saw him on the
Monday night baseball game a few weeks ago
and he acted like he wasn't feeling too well
then. He went out just like his famous
pitch-fast.
It's ironic, that while Dizzy Dean was
one of the best baseball pitchers in history, he
was probably better known for his colorful way
of describing an event in the game he loved
and by the way he enjoyed life. He just "slud"
intp everything he did with a gusto. Tension
didn't cause his heart attack.

Did you ever look at the headlines of the
daily papers?
Last week, I picked up an issue of the
Tallahassee Democrat and noticed these head-
lines in the front section:
"MEAT PRICES TO JUMP SOON" So
what else is news?
"RASH OF STRIKES IN U.S. CONTIN-
UES" Everybody cries in their lemonade
about the continuing inflation, but nobody
seems to want to be the one to turn the reasons
for inflation around. Labor wants more money
and industry wants more profit so we have
continued strikes for a slice of that profit and
inflation continues.
"TAXPAYERS LOSING CONTROL OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM" It's a toss-up
now whether Tallahassee, Washington .or the
students will eventually gain the contr l once
held by the tax payer.
And finally, "JUDICIARY TO HEAR LAST
WITNESS" Does that mean we're finally
going to wind up Watergate and begin to read
about something else for a while?

Play Program Winds Down Friday


ESTR o S.oe. .' ...., .1.74 P E EN


Say


You Saw It In The Star!


by BILL BARLOW
The City's varied and
wholesome recreation pro-
gram will draw to a close
Friday, July 26, with many
programs winding up this
week. Championships for
horseshoes, checkers, tennis,
dominoes and "one-on-one"
basketball were held today,
with presentations and
awards July 26.
Fast and furious tennis
tournaments were held July
18 and 19 at the 8th St.
Courts. Trace Parker and
Stuart Edwards, age group
six to nine, put on a good
example of Beginner Tennis
play. Trace won out over
Stuart 6-1.
In tle 10-11 age group,
Brent Scott defeated Tim
Stutzman 6-3. In one of the
better matches of the day,
Stan Brant defeated- Mark
Moore 6-4, 6-1. These two kids
are really going to be tennis
players. Bob Lang gave a
good account of himself be-
fore bowing out in the semi-
finals. These boys played in
the 12-13 age group.
Then came the "Big Boys",
Wade Stoutamire dumped De-
wayne Brant in the 14-16 age
bracket; 6-3, 6-3. Congratula-
tions to the young fellows for
a fine job. Mike Scott is due
his share of credit for taking
over the tennis program on
such short notice. Check The
Star for pictures of the tennis
and fish rodeo winners from
last week.
According to Louise Park-


TALLAHASSEE State and
Federal law require that all
boats display certain lights at
night. These lights will tell
others of your presence and
what kind of boat you are. These
- lights on other boats will tell you
whether you're meeting,
crossing, or overtaking another
boai.
Only three (3) colors are
used: red, green, and white. A
red light is displayed on the
bow's left or port side. An easy
way to remember is "Port Wine
is red." A green light is
displayed on the bow and in-
dicates the right or starboard
side. White lights are usually
displayed on the back (stern) of
boats but may be found on other
parts of the boat, especially on
larger vessels.
In addition to the colors used
and the position of the lights on
a boat, lights are "shaded" so,
that they cannot be seen from
certain directions. This shaded
light enables the viewer to know
all he needs to know about the
direction it is going, size and.
type of boat it is. The amount of
light that can be seen from a
shaded light is measured in
"Points." A point is equal to
eleven and one quarter degrees
(11%) of a circle, or 11 degrees
and 15 minutes. For example an
unshaded light that can be seen
from any direction would be
called a 32 point light, example


er, the Stac House will re-
main open through August 16
in order to accommodate
youngsters until shortly
before the opening date of
school. The 16th St. Golf
Course will be the scene of
the Kids Golf Tournament
due to begin today, with pre-
sentations Friday, July 26.
Mr. Barlow expressed his
gratitude for the splendid
cooperation of all the boys
and girls 'who have helped
make this a very successful
and enjoyable program.
Activities at the Port St.
Joe Elementary School are
still in full swing. Don't for-
get the baton lessons and
daily swimming at the
beaches.
Mr. Wood announces a trip
to Wakulla Springs Friday,
July 26. Students desiring to
make this trip are asked to
bring 50 cents, a bag lunch,
drink and other monies if
boat excursions are desired.
A note signed by parents is
also required if the person
making the trip wishes to
swim in the Springs.
The Elementary School
program will be carried
through August 2.
On behalf of the youth of
Port St. Joe, grateful appre-
ciation is given to the City
Government, Police Chief
Griffin, Emmett Daniell and
the St. Joe Ice Company for
their time and energy in
making the Summer Recrea-
tion Program a successful
one.


32 x 11.25 equals 360 degrees, a
complete circle.
A ten (10) point light can be
seen through an arc of 112%
degrees (10 x 11.25), or 112
degrees and 30 minutes. Ten
(10) point lights are always red
or green. For twelve (12) and
twenty 120 point lights multiply
b) 11.25 for degrees of a circle.
Twelve, twenty and thirty-two
point lights are always white.
All boats in Florida regardless
of size or type are required by
law to carry a white emergency
light (a flashlight suffices) that
can be shown in time to prevent
a collision. The hand light is
required in the event regular
navigation lights fail.
The requirements for
navigation lights in this area
are under Inland Rules, they
are not legal offshore, but boats
with International Rule lights
are legal on inland waters anria
many boats in Florida carry
these lights because of offshore
fishing parties.
The same red-green running
lights are used. But under In-
ternational Rules, a 12-point
white stern light is mounted aft,
and is visible over a 135 degree
arc aft. A white, 20-point bow
light is installed forward, and is
visible over a 225-degree arc
forward. The 20-point bow light
must be installed no less than 36
inches higher than the colored
light.

Port St. Joe's Pony League
All-Stars lost their debut into
the State Tournament Mon-
day night, falling to Pensa-
cola, 14-4. The All-Stars sec-
ond game was scheduled to
be played yesterday after-
noon at 5:00 p.m., making it
too late to get any results in
this week's paper. The tour-
nament is being played in
Lakeland.
The All-Stars earned their
trip to the state tournament
by defeating Chipley, Grace-
ville and Marianna in the
District Tournament in Mar-
ianna last week.
Monday night, Chipley fell
to Port St. Joe, 5-1 with Craig
Weimorts, Harlan Haddock
and Wade Stoutamire on the
mound.
Wednesday night, Grace-
ville fell to Port St. Joe by
one run in eight innings. The
score was tied, 7-7 when the
regulation seven innings were
ended'. In the bottom of the
eighth, DeWayne McFarland
walked, stole second and
came home with the winning
run when Craig Weimorts
singled.
Wade Stoutamiie started
on the mound but was lifted
after one inning when Grace-
ville exploded for four runs.
Port St. Joe came right back
in their half of the first with
four runs to tie the 'score.
Craig Weimorts pitched the
second inning before Harlan
Haddock came on in the third
to finish the game.
Port St. Joe was forced to
play a double-header with
Marianna Friday in the dou-
ble elimination event. The
All-Stars lost to Marianna in
the first game, 11-10. The
All-Stars looked as if they
would run away with the
game when they led off with
three runs in the first inning,
but Marianna came back
strong to finish the game
with a one run lead.
Craig Weimorts tossed six
innings for Port St. Joe, and
Wade Stoutamire came on in
relief in the seventh.
In the night-cap, the .big
Port St. Joe bats began to
speak, and the All-Stars took
the tournament with a 12-2
drubbing of Marianna.
Wade Stoutamire hurled
the first four innings of the
game and Harlan Haddock
came on in relief in the fifth.

tions will be the same as election to

Of the offices to be decided by Gulf
County voters, only Representative Wil-
liam J. Rish received no opposition.
.Each of the county offices had


Wewa

Given

Permit

The Gulf County Commis-
sion gave a permit, with
restrictions, for installation
of sewer laterals and mains
on county streets in the City
of Wewahitchka.
Robert B. Nations of Flor-
ida Engineering Associates

night so construction could
begin on a major sewer en-
largement program in We-
wahitchka.
Nations filed intention to
see the contractor disturbed
the paved streets as little as
possible and replaced them to
meet DOT 'specifications.
The Board agreed to give
the permit only after they
put their own requirements
for pavement replacement on
the permit.

MINUTES

Board of



County Commissioners


The Board of County Com-
missioners of Gulf County,
Florida met July 9 in reg-
ular session with the follow-
ing members present: S. C.
Player, Chairman; Eldrige
Money, Walter Graham, T.
D. (Doc) Whitfield and A. L.
Davis. Others present were:
George Y. Core, Clerk; Jerry
Gates, Finance Officer; Wil-
liam J. Rish, Attorney; Lloyd
Whitfield, Road Superinten-
dent; C. E. Daniell, Mosquito
Control Supervisor and B. L.
Nowell, Deputy Sheriff.
The meeting came to order
at 9:00 a.m. Commissioner
Davis opened the meeting
with prayer
The minutes of June 11 and
25 were read, approved and
adopted.
The Clerk advised that he
has a tentative budget for
each County department and
is now ready for considera-
tion by the Board. After dis-
cussion the Board announced
that said budget will be con-
sidered at the next regular
meeting of July 23.
Samuel A. Patrick present-
ed a right of way for several
streets in the Overstreet
area. After lengthy consider-
ation and much discussion,
there was a motion by Com-
missioner Graham, seconded
by Comm. Whitfield that this
Board construct the two
streets where the lots are
already sold and people liv-


ing on them; 'tat the right of
way deed be accepted and
that construction of the re-
mainder of the streets be
considered at a later date.
The following voted: AYE,
Graham, Whitfield, Davis
and Chairman Player; NAY,
Money.
The Board directed the
Clerk to pay Griner Builders
$256.00 for the construction of
a partition wall in the secur-
ity room at the jail.
The following applications
for employment were re-
ceived; Randy Wayne
Rogers, Debbie Sue Miller
and Michael Wayne Whit-
field. I
The Farm Agent filed his
report for the month of June,
1974.
The Road Superintendent
filed the monthly secondary
road report.
The Board received a copy
of-the resolution adopted by
the Dead Lakes Water Man-
agement District with refer-
ence to the hazardous condi-
tions at the water control
facility at the dam. Comm.
Graham reported that the
County has already assisted
in posting the hazardous
areas; that he understood the
Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission, the Department
of Natural Resources, and
the Sheriff's Department are
also aiding in the request
made in the resolution. Upon


motion by Comm. Graham,
seconded by Comm. Whitfield
and carried, said resolution
was accepted and ordered
filed.
The Board did then enter
into a discussion as to just
what the policy of this Board
was as to accepting subdi-
vision plats and paving
streets. Comm. Davis said he
has reports that some people
selling lots in areas of the
County where there is no
road are promising the buy-
ers that the County will build
them a road-. He suggested
that the public be notified as
to the policy of the Board.
Comm. Graham stated that
he took the position that it
was the County Commission-
ers responsibility to build
roads anywhere in the County
where the people lived, but
only after the necessary ease-
merits were received and the
road approved for construc-
tion by the Board. Comm.
Whitfield said he was in favor
of building a road anywhere
that the County has right of
way.
Commissioner Graham ask-
ed as to the status of the
by-pass road for Simmons
Bayou. The Attorney report-
ed that bids will be adver-
tised on July 23 and will be
let in August. He then in-
formed the Commission that
in order to rush the paving at
Sunland Recreation Center at


St. Joseph'S' 'Peninsula, the
County has been requested to
help with some of the labor.
The Board agreed to assist in
this manner.
George G. Tapper request-
ed a non-exclusive franchise
for cable-vision for Ward
Ridge and the southern part
of the County. The Board said
this matter will be taken
under advisement.
The Mosquito Control Su-
pervisor reminded the Board
that aosanitary land fill site
must be obtained for the
Wewahitchka area. Comm.
Whitfield said that progress
is being made with one land
owner for a site.
Commissioner Money re-
ported that Buddy Gay con-
tinues to request that the
pond near his place at Honey-
ville be drained. The Mos-
quito Control Supervisor ad-
vised that this project has
been turned down by the
State on three previous appli-
cations, but that he would
apply again.
Commissioner Graham ask-
ed if the Department of
Transportation has indicated
whether or not the big ditch
on the south boundary of Oak
Grove is a state or county
ditch. He was advised that
Department of Transporta-
tion does not claim this ditch.
Whereupon, there was a
motion by Comm. Money,
seconded by Comm. Whit-
field and carried that this
project be turned over to the
Mosquito Control Department
and placed on its mainte-
nance list.
The Attorney reported that
an engineer from the Depart-
ment of Transportation will
be at the Highland View
bridge tomorrow to survey
the bridge for repairs.
There being no further bus-
iness, the meeting adjourned.

Trees




to La

By: Shannon Smith
Home Grounds Specialist
University of Florida
Trees are an indispensable
part of the landscape. They
give a home, street or com-
mercial site individuality,
beauty and a restful quality.
And, because of their long
life, trees give the surround-
ings' a sense of permanence,
and stability.
Trees are vital in combat-
ing environmental pollution.
Trees help keep our air sup-
ply fresh by trapping and fil-
tering ash, dust and pollen;
removing carbon dioxide that
we exhale and that factories
and engines emit; and at the
same time, trees are releas-
ing oxygen needed for our
existence. Trees camouflage
harsh scenery and unsightly
city dumps, auto graveyards
and industrial sites. In addi-
tion, trees reduce noise pol-
lution by acting as barriers to
sound; lower temperatures
by shading and evaporation
of water from their leaves,
and reduce soil erosion. Last
but certainly not least, trees
beautify our gardens, streets
and parks and please our
senses with their shapes, pat-
terns, colors, fragrance and
seasonal changes.
No homesite is too small
that it couldn't accommodate
at least one growing tree!
Trees are adapted to many
uses in landscape design be-
cause of wide variation in
growing habits. Proper selec-
tion and use of trees is very
important since they form
the dominant part of the


ndsca pe


landscape. Trees are classi-
fied into several types de-
pending on how they are used
in landscaping..
Shade trees should have
moderate to dense foliage
(size and-or number of
leaves). They should not have
a messy fruit, flower or seed.
A good shade tree should
have the ability to withstand
high winds and be relatively
free from insect and disease
pests. Examples of good
shade trees for Florida in-
clude oaks, maples, magno-
lia, elm, mahogany and black
olive.
Homes may need both deci-
duous (shed leaves each
year) and evergreen shade
trees. Evergreen trees are
useful where shade is desired
year-round, but deciduous
trees should be selected for
areas where shade is de-
sired during warm months
and sun during cool months.
Framing trees are used
to soften corners and roof
lines of the home and to form
patterns against the sky.
Trees used for. this purpose
should not be so massive or
spectacular that they attract
attention to themselves
rather than focus attention on
the home. Trees used for
framing include mimosa,
orchid tree, black olive, red-
bud, dogwood, hollies, pines
and mahogany.
Street trees are most com-
monly used between side-
walks and streets, along boul-
evards and in parks. They
are usually thought of as
large trees but do not have to
