The Feds have come up with a new ruling which states, in effect, that there will be no activities segregated according to sex, includ- ing classes, extra-curricular activities or' sports activities. The one exception was sports activities which required bodily con. tact. The federal directive would ban all reference to boy or girl activities, with the one exception. It would even go so far as to ban the presentation of "Outstanding Boy and Girl" awards at graduation. Included in the sex identification ban were physical education, classes, clubs, organizations, lockers, or any other activity which segregated boys from girls. The directive said the school couldn't even use sex discrimination in the distribution of text- books (whatever that means). While Superintendent David Bidwell was reading the list of do nots in the directive, the Board shook its head, laughed, issued exclamations of disbelief and finally stomped its collective foot and said, "no, we won't accept it". And that's the way it stands. There will be a difference between boys and girls at least in Port St. Joe High School for as long as the federal stay out of town. "Even if they try to force it on us, we're going to fight it to the last sign on the rest .room doors7, Board member Gene Raffield said. MAKE AN OFFER The Board made an offer of the job as superintendent of Wewahitchka High School to a former coach at the school Tuesday. The new principal would replace Harrell 'Hollo- way, who was' recently named to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of William Linton, as County Supervisor., Clayton, Wooten, now employed in the Wakulla County school system; was offered the job at the Board's terms. Whether he will accept the salary and other stipulations of the Board remains to be seen. , Wooten, along with four others had applied .for the job. The nominee has been assistant principal at Wakulla County High School for the past two years. WANT PROPERTY Port St. Joe Mayor Frank Pate and Clerk Charles Brock asked the School Board to donate the City a piece of property behind the baseball stadium on which to place the city's new 500,000 gallon water storage tank. The city had asked for the ,property previously since it would be centrally located in a growing portion of the city and would offer better water pressure in the area as well as be close to the Oak Grove community for servicing that water district which will be installed probably within a year. After the request was made several months ago, the School Board had the property appraised and came up with a value of $7,650, which they are now asking the city to pay. The property is located between the baseball park fence and Long Avenue next to a small existing drain ditch through the property. Both Pate and Brock said they couldn't understand the Board's wanting to charge the city for the property since location of the tank in this location would give better pressure for the schools and allow adequate fire protection through the installation of more fire hydrants. Presently, the high school complex is protected by one fire hydrant, "hardly adequate to protect such a large complex", as Pate and Brock pointed out. The city representatives also pointed out that the School Board had asked the city to install a water main south on Long Avenue which would serve only the school. "Installa- 'tion of this line will cost the city approximate- ly $8,000", the representatives said. The Board .said they ,would take the new arguments made by the city into considera- tion and give their answer in, a short while.

Clinton Ingram, a promin- ent Panama City businessman is in Gulf County Jail bding held without bond on a second degree murder charge after his venting his pique against a tavern owner for having him arrested on a disturbance charge resulting in the death of Odell Stewart, 51, of High- land View, according to Sher- tid Ra ymond Lawrence. -- Ingram is charged -with shooting into the side of Pol- ly's Tavern at Howard, Creek with a rifle, with one of the slugs ricocheting and striking Stewart in the side, killing him. As a result of the incident, Sheriff Lawrence closed the tavern. This was the third. shooting death at the same place of business within a year. According to the Sheriff's Department, the owner of the tavern, i Pauline Mount had turned Ingram in to the Sher- iff's Department for causing a disturbance early Sunday af- ternoon. Ingram was brought to Port St. Joe by Sheriff's deputies and charged. He posted a $102 bond and was set free with orders to appear in county court for trial on August 2. Later in the afternoon, In- gram showed up at the tavern' with his rifle and proceeded to shoot. at the sign of the tavern, and fired three shots into the eaves of. the building.

County Backs Off "Deal" Mrs. Norton Kilbourn was a thrilled lady last week, as she became the first person in the Port St. Joe area to win the big prize of $1,000 in the Piggly Wiggly Cash King Contest. Mrs. Kilbourn was presented her check Monday morning for $1,000 by local store owner, Maurice Hildbold. Mrs. Kilbourn said she puther tickets together over week end and learned she was a big winni the contest, which is being operated by Piggly Wiggly stores in Northwest Flor She said she could hardly wait for the stoi open Monday in order to claim her priz -Star p The Gulf County Commis- sion expressed reluctance to .get into a combined sewer district with Mexico Beach Tuesday, when Commissioner Silas Player, one of the repre- sentatives at a meeting to set up the system, explained that the program was to provide only sewer to the three beach communities involved. In a recent meeting with Mexico Beach and the J. B. Converse Engineering firm of Panama City, it was explained that federal grants could be ob- tained to construct a sewer collection and treatment sys- tem, taking in Mexico Beach, St. Joe Beach and Beacon Hill. The engineers said the grant could not be obtained unless all three areas were included in one project. Player and Commissioner Everett Owens, who repre- sented Gulf County at the meeting told them they didn't think Gulf County would be interested in going along .with the the project unless a water er in. system could be included in y all the plans. "What the beaches rida. need is good water", Player re to told the group. .e. The Commission, in 'its ac- hoto tion Tuesday, backed up Play- er and Owens by refusing to give the project its blessings unless a water system was included. A document from the Con- verse firm to the Commission meeting Tuesday asked for the Commission's approval of what had been planned thus far with no obligation to the county to. go ahead. The Board's consensus was that they could not put their OK on what had been done since they did not approve it. Player reported that if the Commission did approve the portion of the plans complet- ed, they would be obligated for a portion of the engineering costs. This only stiffened the opposition to offering the ap- proval of the Commission. Player said, "I don't think we should put money into any program unless it does the county some good". For the record, the County Commission is interested in joining in a project with Mexico Beach to include wat- er and sewer services for the beaches area and intend to consult the Florida Engineer- ing Services asking for the feasibility of piping sewage collected in the beaches area into the Port St. Joe disposal plant, rather than construct- ing a separate disposal plant, such as the Converse plans call for. In other action pertaining to water and sewer for unincor- porated areas, the Board in- structed their attorney, Wil- liam J. Rish to prepare the necessary resolution to sell bonds in the amount of $136,- 300 to construct the Oak Grove water and sewer system. The county has no thoughts of selling the bonds, since the money will be borrowed from FHA, a government agency. One of the stipulations of FHA, however, is that they must first be offered for sale to private lenders before they will provide the necessary loan funds. The resolution will reauirp the county to underwrite the bonds with a, portion of the revenue from federal revenue sharing funds and Race Track money. RESOLUTION Attorney Rish was instruct- ed by the Commission Tues- day to draw up a resolution to name the new proposed Port St. Joe library building the "Corine Gibson Memorial Li- brary". The move was taken to acknowledge a substantial gift toward the construction of (Continued on Page 2) Hospital Is Accredited Port St. Joe's Municipal Hospital is capable of offering quality medical treatment and care to the people of 'its service area; or so said the Joint Commission on Accredi- tation of Hospitals in a letter to the institution Mohday of this week. The hospital was inspected by the JCAH recently and given a clean bill of health after minor adjustments in record keeping were taken care of. Approval by the JCAH means the hospital meets acceptable standards set by the board to show the institu- tion offers proper "medical care. This, in effect, means the hospital is accredited. Approval by the JCAH is not necessary for the hospital to be accepted by the state of Florida. The JCAH is an organization of doctors and hospital administrators who offer the inspection service to keep hospitals up to standards on a voluntary basis. Gener- ally, the JCAH standards are stiffer than those of organiza- tions who must give their stamp of approval to its operation before the doors can be opened. Hospital Administrator David Dunham said, "I think we are fortunate to pass the examination so easily. They hit us with very few demerits and these were only minor". Dunham said' hospital care and practices are constantly changing and becoming more stringent. With this in mind, he said it spoke well for past management that the facili- ties here were so up-to-date and in keeping with require- ments of the JCAH.

George Suber, Henry Camp- What Is Inflation? Many people wonder just what -inflation is. The tax payers of Port ISt. Joe will find out what it is next year from present appearances. Inflation is when it takes more .money to buy the same thing you bought last year, only now it is 'packed in the small economy size. -'As one wag put it recently, the economy size is big in everything, except what inflation has touched. From preliminary indications, it 3eems the people of Port St. Joe will -pay the same municipal taxes in .November as they paid last Novem- Sber; they won't get as many services -back for their money, however. Here in the City, the general fund budget last year was around $980,000. Taxes collected to finance the budget were approximately $260,000. Collecting the same taxes this year to finance the same total, budget to finance the same operation will leave the City about $80,000 short of the money needed to pay for the same services as last year. So, what to do. At present, the City Commission r thinking toward cutting services by the $80,000 in order to balance the budget with the same income as last year. In one year, your near $1 million in City money has eroded by $80,000 in value. That's what inflation is. bell and J. Lamar Miller explored the four statements in the test and gave their interpretation of what they meant.' My tomatoes have all gone now and I'm going to start getting ready to harvest my pecan crop in the fall. My pecan tree, which I have nourished, petted and cajoled ever since we moved into our house, did real well this year. It bore a crop twice as big as last year. A 100 percent gain in production from just one year to the next is pretty good. You can't argue with that. Now, I'm going to go look for a pair of overalls to wear while I gather my crop when it ripens. I'll also need a pair of knee pads to keep my knees from getting sore while down on the ground picking up the crop. I guess I'll need a sack too. Maybe I can get Bill Rich, Maurice Hildbold and George Duren to save me their old potato sacks to gather my crop in. This year I took The advice of several old andi experienced pecan tree growers and put. acan or.. two of lye into the ground at the base of the tree tarians Give Their ons of 4-Way Test Suber expanded the first phrase, "Is It the Truth", by declaring that evasion of the truth is equal to an untruth. Suber said, "We see untruths in every phase of our exist- ence". He felt truth in what we say, think and do is necessary since these three activities so vitally affect our everyday lives. Slide, Puppet Show On Tap at Local Library A slide show, puppet show and film will entertain ctil- dren at story time at the Gulf County Branch Libraiies of the Northwest Regional Lib- rary System. The slide show, "Truck on the Tracks," will tickle and twist tongues during pre- school story time at Port St. Joe Library on Friday, July 16, at 2:30 p.m. Will the pretty princess be a friend to the yecky frog? Chil- dren can learn the outcome as they watch the puppet show, "The Frog Prince," at school- age story time, in St. Joe at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 20. The film, "Draw Me a Tele- phone," will be featured at story time for all ages in Wewahitchka Branch Library on Tuesday, July 20, at 2:30 p.m. Gulf. County children are encouraged to check out lib- rary. books and join the sum- mer reading program, "Hap- py Birthday to U.S." I Campbell said the second statement, "Is It Fair to All Concerned" is akin to the Golden Rule. "There are two ' basic characteristics of man which need to be overcome in keeping this motto and that is "survival" and "greed". How far will we go to preserve our status and will it be fair to others?" he asked. Miller. said, in expounding' on "Will It Build Good Will and Better Friendships" that lack of good will and friend-' ship is the basis of much of the trouble in the world today; "Any activity which would destroy friendship should be avoided," he said. In summing up the "test" with the list statement, "Is It. Best for All Mankind", pro- gram chairman Wesley Ram- sey said, "The real kicker in the whole "test" is that it is aimed at considering others more than ourselves. That's a hard thing to do and a practice which requires constant prac- tice and attention on the part of all of us". Women More Likely to Apply for Social Security Women are more likely to qualify for social security benefits and more likely to re- ceive them longer, according to David P. Robinson, Social Security Field Representative for Gulf County. Fifty-one percent of the Social Security beneficiaries are adult women, as opposed to 34 percent for adult males. The remaining 15 percent are child beneficiaries. Women even manage most of the last 15 percent, since children's benefits most often are paid to the mother on the child's behalf, Robinson con- tinued. In reality, then, women are receiving or are responsible for benefits pay- able to almost two-thirds of the 32 million social security beneficiaries now on the rolls. Some women also wonder what advantages there are 'for working when they will be eligible to receive on their husband's social security. Their family could benefit in many instances from their work. For example, children can receive on their mother's record-as easily as they can on their father's record. There- fore, in case the mother gets disabled not only can the mother receive monthly bene- fits but the children can also receive. Or in the case of the mother's death, the children can. receive on their mother's work. There are other advantages. 1) The wife can possibly re- ceive more on her own record when -she retires. 2) There is lump sum death payment made at death. 3) If a wife is older than her husband, she could begin to receive social security and Medicare bene- fits earlier. And, 4) in case" of her husband's death, she could receive 'on her husband at age 60 and then change over and receive her own social security when she reaches age 65 and avoid having to take a reduced amount on her own social security. Robinson concluded by ask- ing anyone having questions to get in touch with the social security office. The office is located at 1316 Harrison Ave- nue, Panama City. Say You Saw It In The Star to make it bear better. Like I said: I got the results ... the tree bore twice as much fruit this year as last year. I'm going to keep my eye on the tree until the crop ripens. I don't think the one pecan will be enough to divide between me and the squirrels. Queen Elizabeth, who was vacationing in the United States last week, said her forebear, King George I made the mistake of not listening to the complaints of the colonists. She thought maybe if old King George hadn't been so stubborn, the United States may still be, a colony of England. Having King George as our great white father may have some advantage at that. Rather than our nation going socialist bit by bit in these trying times, we would already be fully socialist. Queen Elizabeth shouldn't look at us with too covetous aanature,. If Great Britian, had our national debt aio' g with their pfe'snt money *' wbe6 they would be most undone. As it is, both of us owe more money than exists and both are still operating. I'm glad we're two separate nations, though. As it is, we have had the privilege of knowing such sterling Englishmen as Rev. Sidney Ellis and the late Rev. Charles Harthern, who lived here several years ago. Had we all been under one leader, they would have had no incentive to come here. If you didn't get a pet rock back when they .were going like hot cakes, never fear; now you can get in on another good thing. I see where someone is selling pieces of the Golden Gate Bridge- Some fellow (it must be the same guy who popularized the pet rock) is getting his hands on the old worn out cable taken off the bridge, cutting it up into three inch pieces and having them plated with gold, silver or brass. Then he's selling them for $25.00 to $50.00 a piece, depending on the type plating. Everybody ought to have a piece of the Golden Gate bridge. People just don't throw away anything anymore not even worn out bridge cables. Gene Raffield says they don't throw away fish heads or entrails anymore. They're sold for bait and even for food. Waste paper and kitchen garbage now goes into the compost heap. The Reynolds truck comes around periodically and picks up scrap aluminum. The bottle collectors are collecting the old bottles. Scrap paper is re-cycled. Old clothes are\ given to Good Will. The thing which mystifies me is, that with all this utilization of scrap, why are the road sides still paved with beer cans? The House Investigating Committee has decided to reprimand Congressman Bob Sikes for supposedly taking unfair advantage of his position. I don't know whether he did anything wrong or not. I haven't heard the evidence as we gather from reading the papers, the ethics committee has heard only the side against the Congressman. This hardly seems fair, even if he is as guilty as sin. I don't know if the committee solved any wrong doing or not. One thing they did, though, is assure the Congressman of another term. Though there is a hard corps of people from this area who cuss the Congressman, they are too aware of the fact that he has put a lot of dollars in the pockets of the people in the Panhandle - even if he might have put a few in his own in the process, as Common Cause has charged. This still has to be proven, we would think, before any action can be taken. One good. piece, of information came out of the hearings. We now know how old the Congressman is. He is 70. Don't be foolish enough to think you can keep up with him in a walking contest, even if you are a vigorous 20. S(Continued from Page 1) -county Backs Off "Deal" S It .' s THE STAR, Port St. Joe, Fla.

Navy, research associate in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, FSU, and a director of Precise Behav- ioral Management, Inc., a company offering remedial education programs to school systems. Wayne has done extensive work with children with learn- ing disabilities in both the Leon and Escambia County ;school systems. He has taught r courses in the scientific prin- ciples of teaching at the Uni- versity of West Florida, Flor- ida State University and Flor- ida A & M University. He has also conducted night classes for parents and teachers, teaching them how to train children with learning pro- blems and behavior disorders. Wayne believes the best approach to. education is a common sense one. "You have to determine what the student needs to compete in the world and then teach it to him. In our society reading, writing and arithmetic are basic skills, which everyone must have in order to function effectively. If you cannot read, write or do arithmetic the chances are you will not be able to get or hold a decent-paying job. Across the country, and in Sewell for School Board drivers live in the district where the kids are picked up, which would save many tax dollars. At the present time, throughout Gulf County, they are run like taxis. --e'I have no ill feeling toward any bus driver. That is not the reason that I say this: I would say it takes a dedicated person Vote for & Elect Edward Smith County Comm, Dist .3 Edward "Smitty" SSmith will seek election to hW fefire of County SCommissioner from District Three. "Smitty" lives at St. Joe Beach with his wife, Josephine. They have five sons. He said if he was elected to this office he would work hard for all the good people of Gulf County and try to put the tax payers' money where it will do the most people the most good. to be a school teacher or a bus driver. In doing this we'd be able to give the bus drivers a raise and still save money. "I'd like to see the school grounds policed a little better. . We have students leaving our school grounds without authority all times of the day. "I'd like for one night out of every six weeks set aside for ,the School Board, Superin- tendent and the teachers to get together and discuss any pro- blems either side might have. "More emphasis should be put on students taking care of school property. "I will do as much to dis- courage the use qf tobacco in any form in our school as- Imuch as some have done to encourage it. We have some good children in our schools today, and we have more who could be, if they were just given a helping hand. ".Gulf County has been good to me and my family. I think we have the greatest country, the greatest state, and the greatest county in the world. If we all work together we can make Gulf 'County an even better place to live and edu- cate our kids." particular here in our own county, it seems that a large percentage of students cannot read, write or do arithmetic. Our first concern for these students should be to teach them these skills. Since these skills are necessary for almost any other program they must take, we are wasting our money and our students' lives when we fail to teach them these skills. As I have already indicated, the function of edu- cation is to prepare an ind vi- dual to take his place in society. Each one of our chil- dren deserves the chance to be the best in his chosen field. We can have the best educational system in Florida, but only if we all work together and use our resources wisely. "If elected superintendent, I promise an effective program in the basic skill areas with early diagnosis of deficiencies and specific programs to bring the student up to stan- dard. I will -also dedicate myself to the proposition that Gulf County can and will be number one in education." Hanlon for School Board dent of the local Chemical Workers Union. He has been very active in the county in the past years. Some of his activities have includedA working for water and sewage treatment for the Oak Grove area, past Jaycee member, past Webelos Scout leader, member of the Masons, member of the Bap- tist Church, and he has been a Dixie Youth League Baseball Coach for the past five years.. Hanlon has stated that he believes that with his experi- ences as a salesman, youth worker, P.T.A. member, hus- band to a former school teach- * er, union worker and having lived at both ends of the county has prepared him for the task of being a School Board member.

Survivors include her hus- band, Johnnie McCombs, a son, Charles Carpenter, both of St. Joe Beach; one brother, Lester Anderson of Vernon; and two sisters, Mrs. Eula Degg of Chipley and Mrs. Vic- toria Albritton of St. Andrews. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday in the .chapel of Comforter Funeral Home, with the Rev. William' E. Smith officiating. Inter- Hanlon believes like many others that we should get back to the fundamentals of edu- cation. He says every child who is graduated from a Gulf 'County school should be able to read, write, speak and be able to do numbers. Hanlon is for total education for every- one, every child-from the slow, brain-injured child to the fast, exceedingly bright child; and, for the super athlete to the child confined to a wheel chair. "No child should have to leave this county to get a good education," he said. Hanlon said he wants to help bridge the gaps between our children and their parents with the teachers, principals and other administrative offi- cials. He believes that if we shortchange our children to- day, they will pay for it during their productive years. Han- lon also believes that educa- tion is costly, of course, but the price of ignorance and illiteracy is even greater. Hanlon states that we must give renewed attention to our schools not only for our chil- dren's sake but for the sake of democracy, "for without pro- per quality education today, we\ cannot train our youth to make democracy function well tomorrow." ment followed in the family plot of Holly Hill Cemetery.- Active pallbearers were James White, Sam Hprmon, Robert Trawick, Jimmy Mar- tin, Otto Collinsworth and Jimmy Barfield.

If he were here this would be his first and only wish.

After discussion, as to setting up a special budget wokksession, it was decided that some work would be done oi the budget at the next regular meeting. There being no further busi- ness, the meeting adjourned. The Beach Water and Sewer Committee composed of Com- missioners Owens and Player and George Y. Core, Clerk, met with, on June 25, Tolly Mullins and Jim Long of Mexico Beach and C.E. "Gil" Mauriello, Engineer, J.B. Converse and Company, Inc. at the Gulf County Courthouse .to discuss filing an application for grant funds to install a sewer system for Mexico Beach, Beacon Hill, and St. Joe Beach. The meeting came to order at 10:00 a.m. The Engineer told this com- mittee that he is now ready to file the application but must first go over the plans to be sure that everyone under- stands what is expected. He said that the three beaches area has been classified as a planning district; that be- cause of the limited popula- tion, one of the beaches cannot obtain a grant without the others joining in the applica- tion. He said the grant will be .75 percent of the project costs. After considerable discus- sion, the Gulf County Commit- tee agreed to enter in the application, but would not go beyond the application until a pln for water can be included in the project. There being no further busi- ness, the meeting did then adjourn. Leo C. Jones became Assis- tant State Attorney for the six counties under the late J. Frank Adams in 1967. He became State Attorney in 1972 upon the retirement of Mr. Adams and has served as State Attorney since that time.

Mr. Jones said, "While we are proud of our conviction record in convicting those that need to be convicted, we are by no means satisfied with the crime rate in Florida and will continue to do our best to make it harder on those who Florida County Maps Available TALLAHASSEE Spe- cially prepared multi-color- ed publications containing the 67 county maps of the State of Florida are now available... 154 large pages, size 16" x 11" minutely detailed fine line maps.

S. Senate Candidate Walter Sims, Republican candidate for the United *States Senate, last Tuesday morning officially qualified as. a candidate in the Republican primary. "We have put together a, top-notch staff, and have a- massed one of the best grass- roots political organizations I have seen in Republican poli- tics," Sims said after filing for the race, "and, I'm anxious to get rolling." The candidate continued his attack on his possible primary opponent, Dr. John Grady, in a brief statement issued at the State Capitol. "I have released my finan- cial' statement, detailing my holdings and how my previous campaigns were financed. I have even disclosed those people who have contributed to my campaign so far in this race, and will do so again," Sims said. "But," he continues, "my opponent has yet to do any- thing but tell news people that the source of $20,000 he used in his last campaign is, and I quote, 'nobody's business'." Sims told a handful of Capitol Hill reporters that he 0 *- 0 - CZ 0 E O I- GENERAL REVENUE SHARING 0 to - *wm 4m 410 40400 o 4b. is not alleging that Dr. Grady has done anything illegal.

Mrs. Patton recommended to the financial committee that hours be extended in those libraries most severely cut last fall. Library board chairman Clay Lewis stressed the fact that this is temporary, and in no .way corrects the severe problems of cost of living pay increases, promo- tions, added facilities, .'and inequities in retirement plans. Mr. Lewis stated that the finance committee, headed by. the late Nick McCommon has been as deeply concerned over cut hours as the library staff and public has been. The library has received several grants, he said, but they could not be used to add hours. The planned for Gulf County. Re- cently, it received a book grant for $3,500.00 from the Florida Bicentennial Commit- tee. Organizations and indivi- duals have presented gifts of money for books. All of these, welcome as they are, do not pay for staffing public service desks. In fact, he and Mrs. Patton explained, more staff time is required for planning, acquisitions, and processing. The new CETA funds come in the form of reimbursement of the pay received by quali- fied personnel that can be hired for public areas. In Gulf County library hours will be extended as follows: Monday, 1:00-8:00, Tuesday and Friday, 10:00 to 6:00, Thursday, 1:00 to 6:00 and 10:00 to 2:00 on Saturday. with the group.

That record of 7,800 was set in 1974 by Gov. Reubin Askew's successful re-election drive. In announcing his $10 contri- bution limit last year, Sen. Chiles said he hoped to attain a goal of 40,000, contributor's making up: "the largest cam- paign committee in the history of our state or any other." Chiles explained the $10 concept is more than a means to financing his campaign... "We want to get people in- volved, at a level they can afford, and everyone on an equal footing. No big contribu- tors. We're calling this the 'one equal share' campaign and each contributor becomes an 'equal shareholder'." The senator, seeking his second term, said his aim is to continue his "fight to control federal government costs and promote efficiency in spend-. ing." .. conded by Whitfield, all voted YES' to approve 'the Florida Learning Resource Systems program for education of the handicapped. Motion was made by Greer, seconded by Raffield, that the. board accept the Port St. Joe High School Program for 1976- 77 as presented. All voted. YES. Double up, America. Two can ride cheaper than one. Travis Marchant frustrated, as are many of the local elected officials who represent you, about the total lack of interest shown by our former Senate President in working with us to find solu- tions for our local problems." "As President of the State Senate he has repeatedly used his power to tell "His Senate" to tell local government to dig a hole, when to dig it and where to dig, without telling us why, or providing us with the STATEMENT OF CONDITION tools to do the job. The end result being local government having to comply with, not only unnecessary but, unrea- sonable state control over local governmental affairs, causing local taxes to go up, not to meet local needs, but to comply with state require- ments." Marchant said he is inter- ested and qualified to serve Northwest Florida in the State Senate. He was born and raised in Chipley, in Washington Coun- ty. His wife is from Panama City, in 'Bay County, while they live with their daughters, Michelle and Brady, in Talla- hassee they have deep roots and good friends throughout the district. "It is our hope that they will let us serve them as their State Senator", the candidate said.
