Farmers Home Administration Offers Money for Construction

Hold the phone! Don't take down that tree,
Christmas isn't over yet!
Ernest Pittman and Chester Smith proved
it Tuesday night, when they showed up at the
County Commission meeting bearing a
document which stated the Farmer's Home
Administration would finance the long-pro-
posed Oak Grove water and sewer system.
Pittman, who acted as spokesman for the
government agency men, said the FHA would
provide a grant of $123,000 (."grant" is
government-ese for "gift") and a 40-year loan
of $136,300 to finance construction of the
system.
In the past, the district has sought gov-
ernment grant money to finance the sys-
tem to no avail. The project has been suf-
fering set-back after set-back because the
area didn't have the required population


thought necessary to pay back the money
necessary to construct the services.
At Tuesday night's meeting, Pittman and
Smith offered tlge financing plan, provided the
County would exercise the option of whether
or not to accept almost immediately.. "We
must have th6 application in process by
March 12", Pittman said, which didn't leave
much time for' making up minds.
Pittman said 'it was FHA's calculations that
potential customers would have to put up
$20.00 deposits 'which would be put into an
operation and maintenance fund for the first
year of operation. Water and sewer bills
would be charged at the rate of $5.80 a month
for a flat sewer service charge and water on a
sliding scale. The first 2,000 gallons of water
would cost $4 50, the next 3,000 gallons would
be $1.00 per thousand and the cost would


reduce with the increased use. The minimum
bill, according to Pittman would be $10.30.
Pittman said FHA suggested the county
contract with the City of Port St. Joe to
furnish treated water, collect the sewage for
its disposal plant and do all maintenance and
billing. "This will insure the system will be
well maintained and bills collected", Pittman
said. He pointed out this was necessary for
the system to pay off its bonded indebtedness.
,Pittman said a minimum of 170 customers
would be needed to make the suggested rates
reasonable. "If you have less customers, the
rate would have to be increased slightly and if
the county puts in some money, the rate can
be reduced, slightly", Pittman said.
Jesse Hallman, a resident of Oak Grove
was present at the meeting and said he felt
the people of the community would accept the


system at a fair price.
Pittman pointed out that the offer was the
best available. "There are hundreds of areas
waiting for this money if you don't take it. It
wasn't easy to get. It's a matter of building
now or waiting a year or two and having
pollution control people say you have to
establish a tax district and put in the system
anyway".
Commissioner Everette Owens made the
motion that the County give Pittman a letter
of intent to proceed with the project and get
the application moving while the Commis-
sioners spend the next 10 days to two weeks
polling citizens in the Oak Grove area. "We
want to tell them the story", Owens said,
"and get their reaction." The Board unani-
mously agreed to Owens' motion, which, for
the first time in five years of planning, put the
actual project into motion.

Two were hurt when this car and another vehicle collided
at the intersection of Fifth Street and Long Avenue.


Two Injured In


2-Car Accident


Two women were injured in
a two car collision last Thurs-
day night, according to Port
St. Joe Police Department.
Miss Dee Dee Gainous re-
ceived cuts about the face and
Eugenia Watts Thomas was
treated for leg injuries as a
result of the accident.
The mishap.occurred when
a sedan, driven by Janet Ann
Gautreaux, with Miss Gainous
as a passenger crossed the
intersection at Long. and Fifth


Street into the path of the
second car, driven- by Mrs.
Thomas, who was travelling
west on Fifth Street.
The Thomas .car struck the
Gautreax machine in the pas-
senger 'side, injuring Miss
Gainous. Both injured ladies
were taken to Municipal Hos-
pital by Gulf County Volunteer
Ambulance Service..
The accident was investi-
gated by City Patrolmen Bob
Lightfoot and Oscar Jones.


with a plan as yet to reduce
the big items of workman's
compensation and vehicle in-
surance, which really digs into
the county pocket.
Graddy suggested the coun-
ty increase the insured value
of the Courthouse from $650,-
000 to $812,500. an increase of
25 percent, and assume 20
percent of' the insurance,
while purchasing coverage of
80'percent of the value. "This
will increase your premium
but make it something you can
live with", he 'said. Graddy
suggested three premium
plans-one with a $100.00 de-
ductible; another with a $1,000
deductible and a third with a
$5,000 deductible.
Premiums on the $100.00
deductible would run $2,582 a
year for a three year period.
The $1,000 deductible would
cost the county $2,169 and the
$5,000 deductible, $2,066.
Jail coverage would cost
$775, $651 and $620 for the
three deductibles, based on a
value of $320,000 for the jail
and its contents.
The big item in each policy
was the extended coverage
item which took well over half
of the premium.
The Board decided to take
the $1,000 deductible policies
on. both the Courthouse and
Jail which still increases their
insurance premium $700.00
over the previous year, with
less protection.
The thinking of the County
Board was that they could
take care of small claims
themselves but would be ade-
quately covered in case of a
large loss or claim.
Still to be decided is what
plan to follow to reduce the
remainder of the county's
gargantuan insurance bill
which is expected to run in the
neighborhood of $100,000.
INVESTIGATION
The Board was also in
receipt of another letter 'call-
ing for an investigation on
actions of some five years
past.
A letter from J. A. Mulren-
nan, director of the state's
mosquito control program,
and co-director with the coun-
ty over the county operation
said he would be in town in the
near future to examine the
results of an investigation
which had been brought to his
attention by County Judge
David Taunton.
, Mulrennan's letter and C. E.
Daniell, Gulf's Mosquito Con-
trol supervisor, said Judge
Taunton was investigating
some work performed by the
Department for the St. Jos-
eph's Bay Country Club about
five years ago. Daniell said
the department had sought
permission to build a ditch on
the property to drain a swam-


py area. Daniell said his state
supervisors would not approve
the project as a drainage
operation and the county, in-
structed him to dig the ditch
anyway at their expense.
"There was nothing wrong
with the project or the way it
&was done Dani'ell said. "The
whole problem is that it
couldn't be done on the budget
of our department since it is
partially financed by the state
and each project needs state
approval. We can rent our
men and equipment for county
projects, but the county must
pay for it. The whole question
is whether or not the county
ever paid the Mosquito Con-
trol Department for the
work".
The biggest question the
Board had was why Judge
Taunton was investigating the
matter in the first place. '
THREATENED
The County Commission re-
ceived a threat from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers
Tuesday night by letter. The
threat was instigated when the
county and MK Ranches filled

Their daddy had said a hundred times, "When are you
going to get that long, stringy hair cut", to no avail. Their
sixth grade teacher, Bill Barlow just kept on getting his cut to
the crew-cut style (one of about six men in town who do) and
his stubbornness of sticking to his style paid off. About a
week ago, Frankie Williams, right, said, "Mr. Barlow, I'm
going to get my hair cut like yours". Bill Barlow (the oldest


kid in the picture) said he didn't believe Frankie would do it.
The next day, Frankie came to school with his butch cut and
during the following week, Kenny Hutchinson, Danny
McDermott, Joey Hewett and Patrick May turned up with
the short style hair cut, emulating their teacher. Patrick May
said, "Everyone can tell who is our home room teacher
how." Which all goes to show that example can speak louder
than harsh words in this the day of the long hair. In the
meantime, the boys are enjoying the attention they are
getting as the only short hairs in school. Star photo

Flood Insurance


Regulations Stupid


Regulations as set out by the
federal government regarding flood
insurance here in Port St. Joe seem
to us to be in a word, stupid.
The City has been told they can
counter the requirements only with
facts and statistics, while the regu-
lations were not drawn by the same
facts and statistics. They were
arrived at from theory. According to
the representatives of the insurance
program which visited Port St. Joe
recently, they said, the' off-shore
water depth, the continental shelf
and the average path of hurricanes
in the Gulf of Mexico makes floods of
12 feet possible. Then they go on to
say they are basing their building
requirements on the 100 year exper-
ience from flooding.
The fact is that Port St. Joe has
not had flooding of 12 feet in the past
140 yeajps..rhis is fact based on the
testimony of people who have lived
here over the years and not based on
some theory. The flood insurance
people counter this fact by stating
that we are due a flood if we have not
-had one in 100 years.
The fact is that we had our 100
year flood this past year when the
::tides came in at about eight feet
above normal and caused some
flooding in about three homes. All
three homes suffered damages but
not to the extent to justify building


them 12 feet in the air just so they
could be insured.
It's possible we could have a 12
foot tide, but based on history, just
as all insurance rates are based, the
possibilities are very remote. In
fact, based on experience, Port St.
Joe should be a pretty good flood
insurance risk; better than Panama
City Beach, which was given a
building elevation of 10 feet.
It would seem that based on the
same theory used by government
flood control people, private insur-
ance companies would require us to
have fire-proof homes in order to get
fire insurance; or burglar-proof
buildings in order to get burglar
insurance. We would need crash-
proof cars to get automobile insur-
ance and a guarantee of eternal life
in order to get life insurance.
Insurance is purchased to pro-o
tect the property owner from un-
usual circumstances. If people in
Port St. Joe are eventually required
to build to the requirements of the
flood insurance people, we won't
need the flood insurance: we'll be
protected by our building practices
from unusual flood conditions.
Requirements from the flood
insurance people is only another in
the long list of evidence that the
government doesn't belong in the
areas of private business.


Some of the most bloody wars
fought in the old West were over
water rights. A land owner with a
creek running through his property
at times thought he had the right to
dam up the creek and preserve all
;the water for himself. Of course, the
man who owned property down-
stream had a difference of opinion
,and the range war was the result.

We have such a war going on
right here over the Apalachicola
:River. Industrial interests in Geor-
gia and Alabama want to control the
Apalachicola River for shipping.
:Fldrida interests want to leave it like
it is. A member of the Florida
'Cabinet went so far as to publicly


state, "It isn't your river, it's ours."
Now river control advocates of
the water supply upstream are
saying, "It isn't your water, it's
ours".
The most recent event in the
river wrangle is that the people of
Georgia and Alabama are threaten-
ing to drink the water of the Flint
and Chattahoochee before they get
to Florida to form the mighty
Apalachicola. They say they are
thirsty up there and getting more
thirsty as each year passes by.
There may not be any six-guns
drawn over the matter, but the
range war over the Apalachicola
could get bloody and nasty before a
truce is called.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


I received a mail-out from Senator Richard
-Stone the other day, in which he was pleading our
cause (yours and mine) against the bureaucracy
which makes us do things we don't particularly
want to do and all with the immunity of not
having to face the voter for approval on
occasion.
One of the biggest gripes of the American
people today is the bale of regulations which
seem to come out daily from Washington or
Tallahassee, saying we have to do this or that in
a certain way to comply with government
regulations. Most of these regulations seem
asinine to most of us. The flood insurance
regulations are a good case in point.
Senator Stone said, "An army of 100,000
federal regulators is now patrolling our free-
enrerprise economy' and it's time Congress

ONCE UPON A TIME
Episode One
About 55 years ago it got so
cold in. Alligator Harbor the,
speckled trout froze. The way
we found out was the pelicans
were diving at the fish.
Me and Fergie and Jimmie
and Charley McKissack were
on a camp supervised by H. V.
Campbell's daddy, Mr. John
Henry. (Not the one who had
the hammer in his hand).
We built a big lighterd knot
fire on the beach and arming
ourselves with sharpened cab-
bage palm limbs, waded
through a thin skim of ice and
on out to knee deep and waist
deep. Each one strung his
limb full and drug it back
toward the fire (pronounced
for). There was some confu-
sion around the for-some
shovin' and pushin' and turn-
ing around but we eventuallyy
had to quit as the sun came out
and the fish thawed.

enjoyed a one man ventrilo-
quist from a depot, while help-
ing your sweetheart remove a
train cinder from her high top
shoe, the experience could be
a long time in coming around
again.
We were not hostile people,
but often two peppery men in a
flare up of some kind, after
exhausting other means of
communications, such as
naked words and bare fists,
would then reach up and per-
manently part each other's
hair with a few strokes of a
slick peavy handle.
No damage was ever done to
the handles, which was a good
thing, because as a sawmill
town, a hickory peavy handle
was the pride and joy of our
river-logging survival.
As boys we loved to wear
long bibbed caps to school and
would keep the cap in a back
hip pocket during the day,


hoping to be the first boy out of
school with a cap on.
The boyish dream was to
own a green-visored cap just
like the depot agent's. A
teacher realized this and car-
ried us to the depot to see the
cap and hear the thumping of
a telegraph machine under a
Prince Albert tobacco can.
Each boy tried on the cap,
then looked up at the sun
through its green shade. One
weak-eyed member of the
group later on made discov-
eries within the solar system
that benefited all humanity.
It is difficult to say what
youth will see when youth
looks toward the sun.
The sun's brilliance and
power, when observed by the
brilliance and power of youth,
could be a true factor within
the beauty of today and could
help create the wholesome
dreams of tomorrow. '


I SEEDS FROM

THE SOWER
By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia


We are men and women
with an emptiness that noth-
ing here can fill. There is
something that is in us that
the world never satisfies.
It is a built-in thirst which
the Creator planned with a
purpose. It is a longing for
Himself and only He can fill
it.
But the mass of men and
women do not understand it.
They just know that life is
empty and meaningless. They
have a feeling that there is
something more to life. So
'they search for it.
When a person begins that
search, it grows in him. He
gets hungrier and thirstier for


the real thing. Then he real-
izes at last that he is really
thirsting for the living God.
Listen to how a king des-
cribed it in Psalm 143:6, "I
stretch forth my hands unto
Thee: my soul thirsteth after
Thee, as a thirsty land."
And that thirst does not go
unrewarded. God has prom-
ised in His Word, "When you
seek Me, you shall find Me,
if you search with all your
heart."
Many centuries ago a man
prayed, "Thou hast made us
for Thyself, and.-our heairs
are restless, 'till they rest in
Thee." He satisfies. Why not
try Christ now!


policed their excesses". Stone went on to say, "..
last year business and industry was swamped
with 5,146 different forms that took over 100
million man-hours to fill out".
Talk about wasting energy!
Senator Stone is in the place one has to be in
order to curb these excesses. I will watch the
papers daily for his positive action in this
matter.

A sociologist in West Palm Beach is now
conducting a course in Palm Beach Junior
College on how to handle space beings. Dr.
Richard E. Yinger is teaching earthlings how to
handle meetings with life from outer space. He
says the first thing to learn is not to panic.
With that insight to Dr. Yinger's course, it
would ar as if one would handle space
Beings about as&he would earth beings.. 'p''
If I should meet a person from outer space, I
will try not to panic as I put as much distance
between it or him and me as quickly as possible.
I wonder where Dr. Yinger received his
instruction to teach a course? Is he qualified?
Who set the 'qualification standards? Who
checked the standards and Dr. Yinger out as to
the authenticity of their knowledge?
Luckily Dr. Yinger is teaching the course
free of charge. I would hate to think the state was
paying him to teach such subjects.

The Harvard "Lampoon", a publication at
the famous university has celebrated its 100th
anniversary by seceding from the union and
applying to the United Nations for admission as
"The People's Newly Emerging Nation and
Republic, of Lampoon".
The application says, "We are the only
potential member nation that has not violated
any resolutions of the U.N. Universal Declara-
tion of Human Rights of 1948. Furthermore, our.
gross national product exceeds that of both
Comoros and the Maldive Islands, member
nations that have yet to be found on any map."
If the nation of Lampoon is accepted, that
ought to qualify them for foreign aid. That's a
sneaky way of getting aid to education at a
church-supported school.

The three former General Electric nuclear.
power employees are making headlines in the
news these days claiming they quit their jobs
because G.E.'s nuclear power program has
moved too far, too fast and has become so
dangerous that it now threatens the very
existence of life on this planet.
The three were referring to the manufacture
of nuclear power plant facilities.
Life on this planet has always been
threatened: first by the sword, then gunpowder
and now atomic power. As we see it, life on earth
is also threatened by a lack of power production.
If the three engineers have the answer, they
would have performed a far better service to
stay on the job and help correct the mistakes
they think they have discovered.

Marion Clay Daniels, a former resident of
Port St. Joe has also been making the headlines
during the past week with his suit against the
state for $75,000 in damages for being kept in the
state's Sunland centers for eight years, when he
didn't belong there.
Daniels attorney, Jon Caminez of Tallahas-
see made a statement about Daniels the other
day about his mental condition when he referred
to his client's status as a student at Florida State
University at the present time. Caminez
remarked, "It would be a sad commentary to
think FSU has retarded students".
You can write your own editorial comment
to that statement.

tainly a huge success if at-

Over 300 current members
and candidates for election
made up a noisy and happy
group who cheered on Mary
Louise Smith, the Chairman of
the National Republican Par-
ty who flew down from Wash-
ington to address the group.
There was jubilation when
Mary Louise announced that
for the first time in the history
of Florida there are over a
million registered Republi-
cans. This means that one
third of the voters in Florida
are now Republicans. Five
years ago only one out of five
voters were Republicans,.
Mrs. Smith also stressed
that the Republican Party
firmly believes the smaller
the federal government, the
better, and that the people and
their local governments know
best what their own problems
are and the federal govern-
ment should stay out of pro-
blems that can best be solved
at the local level.

the meeting as a representa-

cans, announces that he now

Charles B. Smith, guest
speaker for the History Month
meeting of St. Joseph Bay
Chapter Daughters of the
American Revolution on Feb.
:18 was introduced by Mrs.
Tom Owens, program chair-
man, as "Mr. History of Port
St. Joe". His lifelong interest
in history, particularly of this
area, has earned him this title.
His timely subject, "Events
Leading to the American Re-
volution", emphasized hap-
penings during the 12 years
prior to the outbreak of the


war and taxes without repre-
sentation levied against the-
colonists.
He stated that a compara-
tively small percentage of
colonists were really dedi-
cated to the cause of Inde-
pendence. Had all had equal
zeal, the war could have been
won in three instead of the
eight years it lasted.
George Washington was
singled out by Mr. Smith
because of his unique qualities
of leadership and greatness.
He concluded by saying that

could require dedication equal
to that of revolutionary pat-
riots before this century is
ended.
' Mr. Smith displayed a com-
memorative coin given him by
his grandfather struck in 1783
in honor of George Washing-
ton.
Mrs. Nobie Stone reporting
as National Defense Chair-
man spoke of taxation without
representation in the country
today. The unbelievable de-
ficit spending is a tax burden
to generations yet unborn,
taxation in a chronological
sense rather than geographi-
cal, as in 1776.
Presiding at the meeting,
Mrs. Paul S. Fensom, Regent,
welcomed Fran Hannon
Smith, (Mrs. Roy) as a chap-
ter charter member. She was
admitted at the National
Board meeting in Washington,
Jan. 30.

Our mother, Mrs. Delie Hat-

Feb. 13, 1976, carrying with
her the assurance of the love
and concern of many dear
friends and neighbors who
tried in every way humanly
possible to make her last days
easier.
We who are left behind are
deeply appreciative of all the
ways that love and compas-
sion were exhibited in her be-
half and ours. We realize that
many of you expect no
"thanks" for what. you did
because she was your "Ma,"
but we must use this means to
express our deep gratitude to
all who had a part in sharing
life's greatest treasure, love.

Youth Work Program Gives Practical Exposure


Next time you report a
forest fire, don't be surprised
if a polite, young voice ans-
wers "White City Fire Tower"
instead of the deeper voices of
veteran forest rangers John
Redmon or Tom Blackwell. If
you are interested in the Mun-
icipal Hospital, you'll be glad
to know that the Medical Re-
cords Office now has some
extra help in updating their
records of past years.
These workers are just a
few of the almost 60 persons


enrolled in the Work Experi-
ence Training and Education.
Program in Gulf County. Ann
Sherry Herring, Gulf County's
Field Supervisor, reports that
there 'are actually four differ-
ent programs making -up the
Work Experience Program.
These programs are: Youth
Work Experience, Adult Work
Experience, Older Workers
Work Experience and Class-
room Training.
The Work Experience
Training and Education Pro-


gram is directed by A. G.
Standland and is just one of
the many different programs
under the Department of Com-
munity Affairs.

The intent of the program is
to help disadvantaged persons
help themselves, either
through actual work experi-
ence and training or class-
room training in a vocational
school. In order to be eligible
for the services of the pro-
gram, the applicant must


meet the economic guidelines
set up by the U. S. Department
of Labor.
Youth enrollees must be
14-18 (or 21 if. still in high
school), Adult and Classroom
Training enrollees must be at
least 18,-and the Older Work-
ers Program is for persons
over 55 years of age. All
clients receive at least the
minimum wage. Youth en-
rollees work 10 hours per
week, while the other clients
work and-or attend school up
to 40 hours per week.
The clients are not the sole
recipients of the advantages of
these programs. The entire


.


,community is helped by the
'services these people per-
form. In addition to the two
worksites already mentioned
(White City Fire Tower and

tunity to work 10 hours a week throughout the community.
--- "Everyone has always been
more than willing to help, es-

A_ &M_ _. she said. "Superintendent Bid-


well and Ms. Laura Geddie,
Director of Instruction, are
especially cooperative and
helpful. Without the coopera-

THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla. THURSDAY. FEB. 26, 1976




School Board Borrows



Money for Stadium Repair


ATTEND WORKSHOP- Left. to right, Mrs. Harry
Hallinan, Mrs. Hubert Thomas, Mrs. Von Bouington and


Mrs. Gillie McNair.


According to Superintendent
Bidwell, the Gulf County
School Board has secured a
$20,000.00 loan approved by
the Florida Department of
Education for the alteration of
the Port St. Joe baseball com-
plex. This loan has been
approved for the complete re-
novation of the baseball com-
plex, to install seats and roof,
and to replace the fence and
lighting.
This complex was acquired
from the City of Port St. Joe
by the School Board in a trade
for the Washington School site
which is now being developed
by the City of Port St. Joe.
This property is a valuable
asset to the schools and for
providing community services
to Port St. Joe.
In regards to this project,
Superintendent Bidwell
stated: "The Gulf County
School Board is proud of this
Star photo facility which we are able to


provide for our school and
community. The alterations
were necessary for the safety
of the spectators and partici-
pants in events at the com-
plex. The coordination and
labor provided by the Quarter-
back Club is certainly indica-
tive of the cooperative nature
we are attempting to develop
between the community and
the school. We are all appre-
ciative of the accomplish-
ments of this organization.
Through projects such as this,
we always strengthen our
total educational opportuni-
ties for the entire commun-
ity."
Much has already been ac-
complished toward complet-
ing this project. Still to be
completed are the metal roof
for the bleacher section and
the installation of lights. The
School Board has just award-
ed the contract for the lighting
which will be installed during


the next month.
An invitation is extended to
all people to visit the complex.
The next home baseball game


will be on February 27th when
the Port St. Joe Sharks will
entertain Apalachicola. The
game starts at 3:00 p.m.


McSpadden Recalls 60's


for Rotary Thursday


Bob McSpadden, Dean of
Continuing Education at Gulf
Coast Community College,
reminded the Rotary Club of
the turbulent '60's at their
meeting Thursday, by show-
ing a film which was compos-
ed of scenes from the decade
and the main events which
made the news.
The film clip contained
scenes of the Kennedy era, the
Nixon-Kennedy debate, the
Cuban crisis, Berlin wall,
Selma, Alabama march, Viet-
nam and student riots.
In short, the film made the


Rotarians sit in awe that such
scenes could take place in the
United States of America and
the nation remain intact be-
cause of them
After the film was finished,
McSpadden remarked how
strong the U.S. system must
be to withstand such an on-
slaught and come out of it
even stronger.
Guests of. the club were
visiting Rotarians Doug Brog-
don of Gulf Breeze and Max
Kilbourn of Wewahitchka and
Wheelettes Dorothy Boykins
and Vanessa Willis.

By Joe St. Clair
The story is told of the
great Dutch artist who
was commissioned to
paint the portrait of a
famous man of his coun-
try.
After -weeks of work,
the artist completed the
painting. It was beauti-
fully executed. Wonderful
in detail-vibrant in
color.
In the foreground of the
picture the artist had
painted some tulips. The
'flowers were so beautiful
and colorful that those
who viewed the painting
never saw the portrait of
the subject-they could
not take their eyes beyond
the tulips.
Sometimes we all tend
to major in minors. In
doing so we place impor-
tance on trivial matters
and fail to see the entire
picture. It is difficult in
many instances to see
beyond the "tulips."
OUR THOUGHT TO
REMEMBER: Those who
look beyond small things
see more of the world.

(Continued from Page 1)

in a small slough during the
heavy rains of last July
through September in the
Sauls Creek area. Heavy
floods threatened to wash out
a 40-foot bridge over Brown's
Creek and in the. process,
would have washed away
about a mile of road. The
county and MK Ranches filled
in the creek at the bridge.
crossing with dirt to prevent
the washout and the dirt is still
there.
The Corps of Engineers says
to move it and replace the
bridge, which Road Superin-
tendent Lloyd Whitfield esti-
mates would cost around
$100,000.
Whitfield told the Board the
fill is near the end of Brown's
.Creek. "You can see the
beginning of the creek from
i the road", Whitfield said and
" it is dry in this area except in
times of high water or heavy
rains."
Attorney William J. Righ
suggested the Board answer
the letter imniediately and try
to get the Corps of Engineers
to come back and survey the
-area before coming out with
an edict of what the county
must do.
It seems the Corps of Engin-
eers made an inspection of the
-area in secret and didn't
consult with any county offi-
cial or employee when they
examined the area prior to
writing their letter.
The Commission agreed to
contact the Corps and set up a
meeting with them on Mon-
day, March 8 at 4:00 P.M.

OTHER ACTION ,
Other actions of the Board
included:
-Granting Florida Power
'Corporation a permit to put a
transmission line across How-
ard Creek Road. The line will
be 37.5 feet in the air.
-Refused to allow payroll
deductions for a cancer insur-
ance policy sold individually
to county employees by Amer-
ican Family Life Insurance
Company.
-Agreed to pave the road
into the state park north of
Wewahitchka as soon as pos-
sible this year. Director Jim-
Hagan said it was needed to
allow compers to come into
the area and increase use of
the park on the Dead Lakes.

Pursuant to notice to receive
applications from all persons
interested in the position of
County Service Officer and
Civil Defense Director, the
following -applications were
received:
Norman Franklin Hodges;
Gerald Dexter Norwood; Les-
lie Junior Nichols; George Al-
frod Glaze and Albert Trenton
Thames,
Whereupon, there was a
motion by Comm. Player,
seconded by Comm. Davis,
and unanimously carried, that
all applications be held for
study.
J. C. Gissendaner appeared
before the Board and discuss-
ed the proposed dam on the
Apalachicola River near
Blou stown. He said the Apa-,
lachiiola River is a great
source of income and could
become a greater income pro-
ducing resource if this pro-
posed'dam is constructed. He
told of the growth, economy,
advantage of water-borne
freight, as to oyster produc-
tion a~n additional payrolls.
After discussing this matter
for 45 minutes, he presented
brochures on the subject mat-
ter ad:fliscussed.
Wayne Childers questioned
some of the information as
being a documented fact.
Mr. Gissendaner left the
meeting at this point.
Robert Livingston, PhD, a
marine scientist, appeared be-
fore the Board in opposition to
the proposed dam. He said he
is employed by the Board of
County Commissioners of
Franklin County in making a
long-term study of the Apa-
lachicola Bay. He told the
Commission that Mr. Gissen-
daner's presentation contain-
ed many half-truths designed
"to sh6w' hig ptirpose only HBe
then said, "I deal only in
scientific facts which cannot
be disputed;" that his work is
not to favor or to oppose any
idea as to the river and bay,
but only. to determine scien-
tific truth. He said the project
is designed to draw industry to
be located on the river, which
in turn draws people; that
both offer poisonous pollution
that will find its way to the
river and will then flow to the
bay where it will infect all
marine life. He said he regret-
ted that Mr. Gissendaner saw
fit to leave the meeting while
the subject he introduced was
still at issue.
George Atkins, Dr. Finlay
Corbin and Donnell Whitfield,
County Commissioners of Cal-
houn County, each spoke in
opposition to the dam. They
presented a copy of. a resolu-
tion adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners of Cal-
houn County opposing the
dam. Michael Dorsey, Presi-
dent, 4Wewahitchka Jaycees,
read a letter from his or-
ganization in opposition to the
da:m.
The~ Chairman announced
that tlis Board has heretofore
unanimously gone on record
oppos&ig the dam and con-
tinues0to oppose it at the pre-
sent time.
Dick Lamberson, Chairman
of the 911 Emergency Com-
munication System Commit-
tee filed a written report
showing the provisions of the
law and how it affects Gulf
County. He said that the
County must provide for the
911 Emergency System, thd
cost to be paid from local
funds. He then presented a
proposal from St. Joseph Tele-
phone and Telegraph Com-
pany wherein the following
two systems can be provided,
to-wit:
1. A call relay system at
$229.50 per month plus $42.50
installation fee)
2. Automatic call transfer
system at $438.91 per month
(plus $50.25 installation fee).
After discussing both sys-
tems, Mr. Lamberson.recom-
mended the call relay system
because it would cost much
less than the automatic call
system. The Chairman said
the Board will not take action
on this matter at this meeting.
The Board having hereto-
fore requested Mr. Lamber-
son to pursue the matter of ob-
taining a state grant for a


county-wide emergency medi-


cal services communications
system; that he filed the nec-
essary application, which has
resulted in the approval of a
$17,200.00 grant. He then pre-
sented the contract to be exe-
cuted by the Board. He in-
formed the Board that the
required equipment can, be
purchased under the state
contract price of $34,374.85
from the General Electric
Company; it will take six to
nine months for delivery after
the order is placed which
would make the payment
come due after the next bud-
get is adopted. He recom-
mended that the Board place
an order at this time because
the state contract price will
soon expire and the next con-
tract price will be about 22
percent higher. The Board
tabled this matter for study.
Bob Smith, Civil Defense
Coordinator for the Northwest
Florida area, appeared before
the Board and discussed the
.Civil Defense program. He
told the Board that Gulf Coun-
ty was one of the smallest
counties, yet had one of the
best programs in the state. He
used a slide prevention to in-
form the Board as to its obliga-
tions in the matter of Civil De-,
fense. After a question and'
answer period, he said he has
been informed the Board was
considering combining the
Civil Defense and Veterans
'Office. He recommended a
full-time Civil Defense Direc-
tor, but if the two offices are
combined, he will work with
the director to see that a good
Civil Defense program is
maintained. He said the Coun-
ty would continue to receive
matching funds on a 50-50
basis for all Civil Defense
expenditures. He said if a new
director is employed, he would.
be required to take a one-week
training course the first year,
which would be paid for by the
state.
B. M. Janowski asked the
Board to reverse its decision
to combine the Civil Defense
and Veterans Office.
Leo Kennedy presented a
petition containing 934 names,
requesting the Board to re-
view and reconsider the mer-
ger of the Veterans and Civil
Defense Office. He also pre-
ented a copy of a resolution
adopted jointly by the Ameri-
can Legion Post 116, Ameri-
can Legion Post 211, and Vet-
erans of Foreign. Wars Post
10,0692 Said resolution oppos-
ing legislation (HB 4120) that:
would place the County Ser-
vice Officers under the juris-
diction of the State of Florida.
The Chairman thanked Mr.
Kennedy and assured him the
Board was also opposing HB
4120 and that the request in the
petition for the Board to re-
view and reconsider its action
taken on January 13, 1976, to
combine the Civil Defense and
Veterans Office will be grant-
ed.
The Chairman then called
for the Board members to re-
view and reconsider its action
to combine the two offices. He
said that before he calls for a
vote on the question, that
everyone present is invited to
speak on the subject.
George A. Glaze announced
that he was an applicant for
the combined position, that at
the present time a citizen
cannot find the Veterans Offi-
cer or the Civil Defense Direc-
tor when they go to these
offices because they are each
only part-time employees and
They both have a. regular job
elsewhere, but a full-time
director will be on the job all
day.
W. C. Robinson said he dis-
agreed with Mr. Glaze if he,
was insinuating that the Civil
Defense director was not per-
forming his duties because'he
knows that he does more than
other directors. He recom-
mended that the two offices
continue as separate opera-
tions.
George L. Cooper observed
that because of what Bob,
Smith said, the Board ought
not to combine the offices.
Asa B. Pratt informed the
Commission it should refrain
from combining the two jobs
because all of the C.D. volun
teers have resigned in the face
of the action already taken.
Mrs. Judith Harvey said
that in the interest of all
veterans, the county should


have a full-time officer and
this has not been the case in
the past. He said, "Just ask
any veteran who has helped
them."
Leo Kennedy told the Board
of the growth of the Veterans
office over the past 15 years
and of the great increase in
the dollar recovery during
that period.
After lengthy discussion,
Comm. Player stated that he
cannot see how the combined
offices will work and it is his
belief that they should be kept


separate. He then made a
motion that the action by this
Board on January 13, 1976, to
combine the Civil Defense and
Veterans 'Office be rescinded
and continue the two- offices
as they now are until the next
budget and at that time let the
people decide by placing the
question on a referendum bal-
lot.
At this point in the meeting,
the Chairman gave his seat as
presiding officer to the vice
chairman, Comm. Owens, at
which time,- Comm. Money
seconded the motion. The fol-
lowing voted Aye: Player and
Money. Nay: Whitfield,
Owens and Davis.
Comm. Owens assured
those present that his action
in this matter was for no other
purpose except to provide
better service in each of the
areas involved; that there
was nothing personal involved
in his decision and that he was
certain that both the Veterans
Officer and the Civil Defense
Director were doing an out-
standing job as part-time offi-
cers. He then said that several
of those present requested
that the people of the county
be given an opportunity to
vote on this question in the
general election, therefore, he
made a motion that the fol-
lowing question be placed on a
referendum ballot in the 1976
general election, to-wit:
1. Combine the C.D. and
Veterans Office with one full-
time director and one full-time
secretary.
2. Separate the C.D. and
Veterans Office with two part-
time directors and two full-
time secretaries.
Motion seconded by Comm.
Davis, and upon vote all
members voted in favor of the
motion.
The Chairman asked if .the
Board wanted to make a deci-
sion as to the employment of a
director for this combined
position. After discussion,
there was a motion by Comm.
Owens,' seconded by Comm.
Player to employ Albert
Thames, the present Service
Officer at a salary of $8,200.00
per annum, beginning Febr-
uary 2, 1976. The following
voted Aye: Owens, Player,
Whitfield and the Chairman.
Nay: Davis.
Richard Lancaster told the
Board that from the first day
he took over the Civil Defense
Department, with no salary,
his, only purpose was to..pro-
vide the best Civil Defense
services possible; that the
change cannot be to save
money as indicated because
there is not that much money
involved. He then discussed
the costs of operating the Civil
Defense and the amount that
would be saved would be less'
than $3,000.00. He said he be-
lieves combining the two of-
fices cannot work for the best
interest of the people.
Mrs. Lancaster said that she
knew her husband's thinking
about this matter .and she
assured the Board that he only
wanted the very best service
possible for the Civil Defense
program and one of his fears
was that in a combined office,
too much time would be spent
on veterans business, but that
he was certainly not against
the veterans in any way.

tional Department requested


Now Is the Perfect


Time to Plant Trees


By Ralph J. Edenfield
County Forester
The present snappy weather
is the perfect time for planting
trees.
Although many trees may
be planted year-round, parti-
cularly those grown in con-
tainers, survival with minimal
care is invariably better if the
winter planting period is ob-
served, says the Division of
Forestry, Florida Department
of Agriculture & Consumer
Services.
When the weather cools,
tree growth slows down and in
many species, ceases. Fores-
ters refer to this condition as
"winter dormancy".
While seedlings are dor-
mant, they are much less like-
ly to, be affected by shock of
transplanting and tend to re-
quire much less water than
when actively growing. This
trait allows the seedling to es-
tablish its feeder root system
before heavy growth demands
are plAced on it.
It is not enough, however,
simply to dig a hole and throw
the seedling into it. Many fac-
tors must be considered in the
planting of shade and orna-
mental trees.
First, one must consider the
desired results. What do you
want the tree to produce?
Shade? Flowers? Accent for
the home? A border for your
lot? Screen for your yard? Or
something else entirely? To
make this decision, learn what


payment in the amount of
$6,000.00 as the counties' con-
tribution for the 1976 program.
Upon motion by Comm. Play-
er, seconded by Comm.
Owens, and unanimously car-
ried, the Clerk was directed to
make this payment from Fed-
eral Revenue sharing.
The Big Bend Health Plan-
nirig Council requested pay-
ment of $1,400.00, as hereto-
fore approved by this Board.
Upon motion by Comm. Davis,
seconded by Comm. Owens,
and unanimously carried, that
said bill be paid from the
General Fund and the Finance
Officer make the necessary
budget transfer from the re-
serves for conuingenies into
the proper account number for
this purpose.
The following applications
for employment were re-
ceived: Johnnie 'Marrie
Vathis, Dorothy Yvonne Wil-
liams, Ronnie Keith Davis and
Earl W. Blakenship.
The Department of the
Army, Corps of Engineers
advised the Board as to its
study being made on the Chip-
ola River Cut-off as to stream-
bank erosion that is endan-
gering SR-22A. The most eco-
nomical solution appears to be
the relocation of a portion of
said highway that is endan-
gered. This is not a final con-
clusion.
The Chairman ordered this
meeting recessed until Jan-
uary 28, 1976, at 5:00 p.m.

species may be appropriate
for the use you have in mind.
You may want to consult an
expert, such as a forester
or nurseryman.
Second, one should.take into
account the site, or location
available. What kind of soil is
present? Is the site well-drain-
ed, or does water stand on ii
for long periods?'How large is
the area? Will it accommodate
the selected species when the
tree is full-grown?
Third, you should be aware
of any potential disadvantages


of the species you have ten-
tatively selected. Will the
roots interfere with your spe-
tic tank or sewer lines? Will it
withstand high winds when
planted on the site? Is its fruit
poisonous to children that
might be tempted to taste?
Fourth, you should consider
the care the tree will require.
Does it require frequent fer-
tilization or pruning? Is it sus-
ceptible to common insects
and diseases? Is it cold toler-
ant? If you live near the
beach, is it salt tolerant?


State Rules



Now Govern



Water Wells

TALLAHASSEE-Implementation of water well
construction regulations began January 1, 1976. This
rule of the Northwest Florida Water Management
District, Chapter 16G-3, Florida Administrative Code,
also requires permitting of all wells over two inches
inside diameter.
Properly constructed wells are essential to the
protection of the ground water resources. Improperly
constructed wells may permit direct flow of contam-
inated surface water into the well or provide free lines
of communication between aquifers of different quality
and pressure. This interchange of water can result in
irreversible damage to the underground water system.
Construction of any well disrupts the geologic integrity
of an area.
As the population of north Floida grows, the
number of wells will also increase. The importance of
assuring that these wells are properly constructed is
becoming more important than ever.
The permitting system involves a request for
.permit to drill a well over two inches inside diameter.
A small fee schedule based on the size of the well is
established. A notification of intent is required to drill a
well with an inside diameter of two inches or less.
It is essential that the District have prior notice of
a well being drilled, as there is no effective means of
checking for proper well construction after a Well is
completed.
"The permitting process is an initial and
important step toward protecting the ground water
resources in the panhandle," said Calvin Winter,
Executive Director of the District. "Ground water is
the most dependable source of drinking water for the
citizens of northwest Florida and it must be protected
from waste and contamination."
Though the well owner is responsible for.acquiring
eoapirp&mit4d drai awell,,the inostexpedientiprocedure is .';
through the licensed well 'driller.
Any water well contractor who operates in Florida
is required to have a license. This license is issued
after the contractor has passed tests and is bonded.
This license number is to be prominently displayed on
his drilling rig.
Not only is the licensed well contractor operating
within the laws of the state of Florida, he is more likely
to construct a well that will prevent contamination. A
local well contractor will also be familiar with the
geologic structure of the area in which you wish to have
a well drilled.
Another reason for the permitting procedure of the
District's rule is there is a shortage of reliable data on
the ground wat&r acquifers of northwest Florida. The
permits are often issued with certain restrictions
which will assist in the data collection effort.
With the expected growth of north Florida, and the
increase in private homeowners who will construct
wells, it is important to assure compliance with all
state regulations governing these wells. Names of
licensed water well contractors are available for your
area from your local authorities as well as from the
Department of Environmental Regulation and the
Northwest Florida Water Management District.

CARD OF THANKS
Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Gant

to their family following the
loss of their home by fire. We
appreciate and will never for-

PEIRCE will update area nautical charts


NOAA to Survey Accuracy


of Gulf Navigation Charts


Intensive on-the-spot inves-
tigations designed to update
five nautical charts of the
Florida coastal areas between
Pensacola and Port St. Joe
will be conducted from Feb-
ruary 22 through April 10 by
the Commerce Department's
National Oceanic and Atmos-
pheric Administration.


The investigations are a
part of the NOAA's National
Ocean Survey program to
evaluate its marine surveys
and charts, and will be carried
out by the Norfolk, Va.-based
NOAA Ship PEIRCE.
The PEIRCE, which is a
163-foot, 760-ton ship with a
complement of 39 officers and


crew, will work out of Pensa-
cola from February 22 to
March 19 and from Panama
City from March 20 to April 10,
The ship will evaluate the
adequacy on existing charts of
sounding data depicting water
depths, and conduct a 'user
analysis' of the National
Ocean Survey's products.


Where important discrepan-
cies are discovered in nautical
charting data, the PEIRCE
will conduct on-the-spot hy-
drographic surveys.
Captain Robert Munson, As-
sociate Director of the NOS
Office of Marine Surveys and
Maps, said changing times
and conditions require a bet-
ter and more swift response to
consumer needs.
"The increase in the size of '
commercial vessels, espe-
cially oil tankers, in water-
front construction and in the
use of pleasure craft and the
greater emphasis on ecology
and pollution control, require
better chart coverage of an
area and more immediate
response to these needs," he
declared. "In order to better
direct our limited resources,
our task will be to determine
exactly where inadequacies
exist so that .priority may be
given to solving them. The
new program is designed to
accomplish this."
The PEIRCE's operations
will cover five charts on the
Gulf Coast of Florida: St.
Andrews Bay (Chart Number
11391); Pensacola Bay (Chart
Number 11383),; St. Joseph
and St. Andrews Bay (Chart
Number 11389); Choctaw-
hatchee Bay (Chart Number
11388); and Pensacola Bay
anc Approaches (Chart Num-
ber 11382).
MOAA Corps officer Cdr.
Joseph W. Dropp of Walton, N.
Y., is the PEIRCE's com-
manding officer. While in
Pensacola, the ship will be
berthed at the Naval Air
Station. An open house is
tentatively scheduled for the
week end of March 13 at the
Municipal Pier. A second open
house is tentatively scheduled
for the week end of April 3 at
the Panama City Marina.


Twenty-one Cub Scouts of
Pack 47 went.on their first
hike of the year, Saturday,
Feb. 14. The Cub Scouts and
five adult leaders journeyed to
the group primitive area of St.
, Joseph Peninsula State Park
on two pick-up trucks,, a.
station wagon .and a car..
Needless to say, the ride in the"
back of a pick-up was worth
the trip.
Some of the more interest-
ing items found along the hike
included different kinds of
shells on the Bay and Gulf
beaches, animal tracks found
and identified, and thbe way
birds open different shells by
dropping them from high in
the air onto the beach. Sand
-castles had to be built by most
everyone, which included get-
ting a.few wet feet in spite of
repeated warnings by the
leaders.
Bag lunches were hard to
stay away from by 11:30, so
after a campfire was built, the
always hungry boys inhaled
