New Library Project Almost Stalled


The Gulf County Commis-
sion almost talked itself into
delaying the beginning of the
new Regional Library here in
Port St. Joe Tuesday morning.
In a meeting with their
architect to approve a floor
plan .for the building, the
Commission came up on the
question of-who was going to
operate the new library, and
decided to hold up matters
until they found out officially.
Commissioner Otis Davis,
,Jr., asked,' "Iow much is it
going to cost to operate? We


should know before we ap-
prove the construction of a
building."
Commissioner Everett Ow-
ens seemed to think the build-
ing was too big as architect
Charles Arthur Gaskin had
drawn it in the preliminary
sketches. Gaskin had designed
the building to be approxi-
mately 7,200.square feet.
The entire Board agreed
there was too much wasted
space in the building, taken up
in a wide hallway, a kitchen-


ette, which the Commission
decided to take out of the plan.
The Board was concerned
about two things who's
going to operate the building
and how much is it going to
cost. Gaskin said the building
as designed would cost in the
neighborhood of $225,000. This
spurred a Board conversation
about how the building would
be furnished, since there
wasn't much more money
than this available.
* Gaskin then told the Board,
"We're wasting our time. I


don't know what the money
limits are or how big you want
the building. I've been just
doing what I thought should be
done in preparing drawings. I
need to stop right now until
I'm given some limits and
some ideas because I'm just
wasting my time and your
money".
The Board's quandry was a
mis-understanding about who
would operate the facility,
how much would operation
cost and how much furnish-
ings cost.


Later in the meeting, the
several matters were settled
to a degree, when the board
read a letter from Mrs. Jane
Patton,. Regional Librarian
requesting an additional sum
from the County "for opera-
tion of the library". This


settled the question about who
was expected to operate the
facility, which seemed to be
the biggest thorn in their side
at the moment.
After this matter was set-
tled, the Board then set a
$200,000 ceiling on construc-


tion costs and agreed to
conduct soil borings immed-
iately on the building site and
instruct the architect to go
ahead with his drawings after
their several interior design
suggestions were made known
to him.


Commissioner Owens ob-
served, "I'm concerned that
we don't build a building so
large and expensive to operate
we can't keep it open. I want a
facility we can afford to keep
open a reasonable number of
hours each week.


Government, Spending, Too Big


Sen. Barron Tells Club Members


"There is too much of a
trend toward a big overgrown,
over-spending government",
State Senator Dempsey Bar-
ron told a joint meeting of the
Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis
clubs at the St. Joseph's Bay
Country Club last Thursday at
noon.
The Senate president used
the theme of "Big govern-
ment" and its expanding ex-


Sheriff Raymond Lawrence
announced the arrest of 11
persons in the vandalism of St.
Joseph's Bay. Country Club
this past weekend.
According to Sheriff's De-
partment investigators, the
property damage was the
aftermath of a drinking party
held around and in the club's
swimming pool between 11
p.m. Saturday night and four
a.m.. Sunday morning. The
club had closed and all 11


penses throughout his talk. He
pointed out that government
was now spending 40 percent
of the gross national product
each year. "We are re-invest-
ing only 18 percent of our GNP
into new facilities and new
jobs", Barron told his au-
dience. "In contrast, Ger-
meny re-invests 23 percent
and Japan 28 percent."
Barron said our position has

Seven electric golf carts

ly, as the reslt of art impro-
vised "demoitiori derby". Al-
so, several of the golf course
greens were damaged by the
carts being driven across
them.
Officials at the Country Club
are still assessing the damage
and say it could run in a

where nine of 10 baseballs and
ball gloves and one of six
automobiles are now manu-
factured outside the United
States.
Barron pointed to the Flor-
ida position by stating that the
state cut its budget this year
for the first time in 30., years.
"In cutting the budget, we still
supplied plenty of money to do


sizeable sum of money.
Those arrested, 'and
charged with criminal mis-
chief are Richard Smith, 20,
and Linda Smith, 22, of Pan-
ama City;. Malcolm Gentry,
25, and Judith Gentry, 28, of
Apalachicola; David Treace,
23, and Debra Treace, 20, of
Lynn Haven; Stephen Adams,

Kit C. Mashburn, 19, all of
Port St. Joe; and two juv-
eniles, age 16 and 17.


everything which needs doing
and provided for a salary
increase for our employees.
We still have plenty of gov-"
ernment", Barron said,
"Have any of you missed any
lately?"
Barron asked for support for
a constitutional amendment
which will be on the November
ballot asking for an amend-
ment to the state constitution
limiting the number of public
employees in the state to one
percent of the population.
GOOD NEWS
"There is some good news",
Barron said. "People are be-
ginning to talk like you have
been thinking. Times are
tough and taxpayers are re-
bellious. Even Musky, Ford
,.and McGovern have -made
public statements about the*
need for taming big govern-
ment."
EDUCATION
Barron worked into his fa-
vorite subject; that of big
spending by education. "I
think we need government
priorities for spending", he'

said. "These priorities should
be, in this order- eat, edu-
cate, cure ills, roads, water
systems and other things
which we might be able to
afford. '
"I am in favor of good
education and adequately
funding its operation", Barron
said. "In this budget year, we
provided more .money for
education than they can pos-
sibly use. Enrollment is up
only one percent, while fund-
ing is up by 5.6 percent. The


Legislature provided $160 to
$180 million more this year
than last. In 1967 we spent $460
per child for education. This
year we will spend $1,098."
HAVE-TO SAYV NO"d
"Somewhere along the line,
someone has to say 'No' ",
Barron said. "If they don't, we
will have the destruction of
our government".
Barron was introduced at
the meeting by Dr. Joe Hen-
drix, who made arrangements
for the joint meeting.


Sheriff Cries "Foul" On Budget Cut


Sheriff Raymond Lawrence appeared
to be a little miffed over last week's action
by the County Commission, reducing his
budget. Sheriff Lawrence told Chairman
Eldridge Money, "I feel a little funny
having my budget cut and I wasn't even
asked to appear before the Board meeting
and defend it". Lawrence then asked,
"Why is my budget the only one to get the
ax? The General Fund budget, for
instance, has increased more dollars and a
greater percentage than mine has over the
past two or three years, yet it wasn't cut at
all".
Chairman Money apologized to Law-
rence for not notifying him of the meeting
and said, "We're trying to get the millage
increase under three mills. We felt we
could cut some from your budget. We felt


your department could get along without
an investigator."
Lawrence rebutted, "We can get along
without an investigator, but we can't do
without electricity, adequate insurance,
gasoline, telephone, radios, and other
fixed charges where you have made the
big reductions. These same reductions
haven't been made in other parts of the
county budget." Lawrence pointed out,
"You have reduced my equipment item to
$9,000. I must trade in two cars this year.
Two of our cars are three years old and
that's about as long as we can keep them.
This item alone will cost $9,000. How will
we buy uniforms, replace worn out
equipment and purchase needed items in
our everyday operation?"
Sheriff Lawrence said his budget for


last year was a total of $232,000. "This
year, you have now cut me to $234,900. How
can our department be expected to even
provide the same services as last year on
just $2,000 more? With inflation what it is,
we just can't do it." The Sheriff also
pointed out that the county was planning
on providing a raise in salary for county
employees. "With this budget, there is no
provision for pay increases for my
people", Lawrence said. "Is everybody
who works for the county except the
Sheriff's Deputies to receive a raise in
pay?"
Lawrence kept coming back to the fact
that the General Fund and others had
increased as much or more than his
department in the past two years, but were
not faced with cuts, such as his was. The


only concession he received for his
impassioned plea was a statement by
Commissioner Silas Player that, "We have
plans to make further cuts."
About 20 minutes later in the meeting,
the Board, with the approval of Property
Appraiser Samuel A. Patrick, cut Pat-
rick's budget by seven percent.
If this was intended to mollify the
Sheriff, however, it probably had no effect,
since he was surely thinking, "They didn't
ask me if it was all right to cut."
"Our request isn't out of line",
Lawrence said. "All area counties, some
even smaller than us, have even larger
Sheriff's budgets than Gulf County has.
Our request isn't out of line. We are not
squandering money," he said.

EDITORIALS:



Everyone Should Have


Reason to Vote


SEveryone should have a reason
;why they are voting for one candi-,
date or another. In the race for the
Presidency we should know some-
thing about the kind of President the
candidates will make.
Last week, the U.S. Press
Association published in its weekly
newsletter a profile of what kind of
President Jimmy Carter would be.
Here's what the Association said:
"There is a better than even
chance, say pollsters, that the next
President of the United States will
be a peanut farmer from Plains,
Georgia. Given that possibility, the
question of how Jimmy Carter would
govern America becomes all-impor-
tant.
"His administration, of course,
could be expected to enjoy better
relations with Capitol Hill than has
been the case under Presidents
Nixon and Ford. Both Houses of
Congress are heavily controlled by
Democrats, and there is scant
likelihood that that will change with
the November elections. But how
would he actually wield the consid-
erable power that would thus reside
at the White House to shape the
nation's future?
: "A Carter presidency, for one
thing, almost surely would be a very
activist one. The latest "Business
Week" magazine says Carter as
President would develop "a set of
programs for the nation that could
put the U.S. economy and society on
the road to the most fundamental
changes in decades." High on Car-

for


ter's agenda, according to aides,.
would be: overhaul of the U.S. tax
system, closing off various shelters
and deductions; a massive reorgan-
ization of the federal bureaucracy,
introduction of a national health
insurance program, federal-state
takeover of municipal welfate costs,
and a wide-ranging program, includ-
ing federal jobs, to reduce unem-
ployment.
"As to style, Dr. David G.
Winter, a noted psychologist, claims
that a politician's statements can be
analyzed to determine his need for
power, for achievement, and for
affiliation (the last being "an ex-
pression of his desire to associate
with people.") Writing in "Psychol-
ogy Today" magazine, Winter re-
ports that Carter "scores average or
above on all three motives, but his
need for achievement outstrips his
needs for both affiliation and power.
Because of this particular pattern of
motives, Carter is likely to govern in
the style of Lyndon B. Johnson."
"To his credit, one thing that
Carter would take to the White
House would be a power of moral
suasion that LBJ lacked. The pro-
fane Texan had simply been in too
many smoke-filled rooms and been
party to too many political deals to
rally the nation by the power of his
example.
"Carter's religious faith seems
deep and genuine. Although his
liberal brand of politics should give
pause to many Americans, on a
moral plane it is difficult to fault
him."

TV, he says, he often leans a

Letters
to the


Editor O

Dear Editor:
I have never attempted to
leave the impression with
anyone that I know everything
or have all the answers.
Four times I was elected by
the people of Franklin county
to serve in their public offices.
I never lied to my people and
never betrayed their trust. I
fought dishonest practices by
questionable politicians. And I
still find dishonest people very
offensive. I only wish that
every citizen in this great
country would spend as much
time and effort as I do to find
out the facts about the people
who run our country and our
lives. If they would, then
America would not be in the
sorry mess it is in today.
Anyone with common horse
sense can look around and see
that our greatest enemy is in
Washington, andtall our major
problems are created in our
nations capitol.
I challenge anyone to check
Walter Mondale's second. You
will find as I did that he is one
of the most un-American liber-
als in America.
Sincerely,
Clyde M. Melvin


ETAOIN SHRDLU

By WESLEY R. RAMSEY


Former Governor Lester Maddox is in the
news again. You remember Lester, the trick
bike rider who tricked the people of Georgia into
electing him Governor. As a matter of fact,
Lester also tricked the people of Georgia into
electing him Lieutenant Governor during Jimmy
Carter's term.
Rumor has it that Lester and Jimmy didn't
speak to each other during the whole period of
their term of office. That sounds like two
Baptists who are at opposite polls on some
doctrine or other. Both Jimmy and Lester do a
smattering of lay preaching in Baptist churches.
But, back to Lester making the news.
One thing Lester has never lacked and that's
a snappy comment. He made the news regular
and still does, with his salty comments about

machine broke down.
Since the Board has paper
ballots printed for absentee
ballots, they decided to just
order a few more run off to
have in case of emergency.


The Board was notified that
they needed to come up with a
plan to handle solid waste by
1978. The notice was from the
State Department of pollution
Control which has told the
Board that only two or their
present land fill operations
are acceptable under present
guidelines. None of the land
fill areas south of Dalkeith
are acceptable under the pres-
ent rules and regulations be-
cause of the high water table
in the southern part of the
county.
The Board agreed to contact
the Northwest Florida Plan-
ning and Advisory Council for
some aid in making a decision
as to which manner of disposal
the county will aim for.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business to come
before the Board, they:
-Agreed to request the
Corps of Engineers to place
river dredging spoil on county
property in the Iola area to
build it up.
-Agreed to contact De-
partment of Natural Re-
sources Director Harmon
Shields about controlling com-
mercial scalloping in St. Jos-
eph Bay.
MAKES FUND REQUEST
Bill Sullivan, coordinator
for the Regional Health Plan-
ning Council made a pitch to
the Board to pay a promised
$1,400 contribution from the
present budget and to be
included in the new budget
now being planned. Sullivan
said the Board had signed a
contract with his group to
make the contribution and
then backed out.
Attorney Rish said the
Board had signed the contract
and should honor their word,
even if they didn't want to.
The Board agreed to pay the
agreed to $1,400 but balked on
placing the organization in
their new budget.
Sullivan took claim for his
organization for aiding the
county in securing a resuscita-
tion program and intensive
care unit for Municipal Hospi-
tal; aiding in the successful
search for a doctor for Wewa-
hitchka; aid in securing train-
ing, materials, procedures,
operations, communications,
etc., for the local ambulance
service.
He still didn't get a promise
of any money.


politics in Georgia and the nation. Lester is a
regular showman. He has been thus inclined
even back in the days of his Pickrick restaurant
in Atlanta when he made his place in history by
using a pick-axe handle to keep a black from
entering his establishment.
Lester is still obsessed with the food
business. This past week, some of the newspa-
pers reported where Lester has come up with a
sandwich recipe named for several of the more
famous politicians of our present day.
Lester's old "pal" Jimmy Carter was first
on the list to have a Lester sandwich named for
him. Maddox said the Jimmy Carter sandwich
was made from a little peanut butter with a lot of
baloney! That was an unkind cut, Lester.
I can see the possibilities of the Maddox
sandwich recipes. For instance, a very timely
sandwich could be named for Ronald Reagan.
His sandwich, naturally, would be made up of
so'brguns:-hweiker".
, President Ford's sandwich namesake could
be a "oysters Rockefeller".
We also have a sandwich named for the
County Commission to commemorate their
position of extreme frugality for the past two tax
years. It could only be named the "mashed
potato sandwich". Filling and possibly nourish-
ing, but not necessarily the tastiest in the world.

Eric Bryan, our newest grandson has made
a trip or two to the office. If the early months in
the life of his older brother is any indication, Eric
Bryan faces an early introductory to the innards
of a printing plant, where he will be expected to
recline in a cardboard box, doing his early-in-life
sleeping while his mother sets type for the
newspaper each week.
The few tentative trips to the office were to
expose the new arrival to the noise and smells of
the printing plant and see how he will accept it.
I think the presence of Eric Bryan is going to
be good for the production capabilities of The
Star Publishing Company. On his trips here, a
press will start running and he will roll his head
over and go to sleep. The "beep-beep-beep" of
the typesetter seems to sooth him and make him
drowsy. When he is awake, Eric Bryan competes
with the noise in the shop and holds his own. So..
as long as a press runs or the typesetter
operates, it appears as if Eric Bryan will sleep.
This suits his parents, so perhaps the machines
will run more regularly so the baby will sleep.
In the process, more will get done and Papaw
will be happier and the customer will be happier.
You can't ask for a better arrangement than
that.

I have it on good authority that we are in the
middle of "Dog Days" here in Northwest
Florida. The air is humid, the temperature hot,
and afternoon showers are almost a foregone
conclusion each day.
"Dog Days" affects different people in
different ways but an almost universal affect is
one of- lethargy (that's polite for lazy). I'm
always ready for "Dog Days" since I hold on to
my lethargy the year round. During the warm
days before and after Dog Days, I have my
lethargy going to get ready for Dog Days and to
phase out the 40 day period. During the winter, I
maintain my lethargy with hardly any trouble at
all. It's just a matter of getting cozy and warm
and I can lethargy right along with the best of
them.
One of the side-effects of Dog Days is that it

Cub Scouts
Need Leaders
Port St. Joe Club Scouts,
Pack 47, is in desperate need
for adult leaders. If you can
donate at least two hours per
week as a volunteer, please
contact the Cubmaster, Perry
J. McFarland at 229-6153.
At the present time, there
are two dens with a total of
about 21 active members.
They hope to be able to expand
to five dens this fall which will
require two adult leaders
each. Also, two Webloes Dens
will be organized for Scouts
that are 10 years old.
Cub Scouting is a very
worthwhile activity, which
should be supported by the
community. If you have the
extra time, devote some of it
to these youngsters.

Course
At two Jaycee meetings re-
cently, Jaycee Senator Robert
Montgomery presented an
Orientation and Leadership in
Action program. The Orienta-
tion dealt with the origin and
function of the Jaycees, cover-
ing all the internal and exter-
nal projects. The Leadership
in Action course was dealing
with self-evaluation, goal set-
ting, planning, effective com-
munications. The program
demonstrated that a person
uses only 10 percent of his
potential, and also showed
that people only use 25 percent
of their mind in listening.
The program was very in-
formative in procedures for
planning, effective speaking,
listening, reading and writing.
The program is comparable to
courses costing hundreds of
dollars, but is available
through the Jaycees for the
cost of the workbook at $1.00.
Montgomery has been taking
these courses for several
years and has taught the Port
St. Joe Club, Apalachicola,
Panama City and the Blounts-
town Jaycees. He also taught
the course at the Apalachicola
ive Correctional Institute in
Sneads.
Among the new Jaycee
members attending were: Ed

Candlelight enhanced the
scene as Rhonda Susan Du-

Only Just Begun", and the
"Lord's Prayer".
The bride descended the
aisle in a floor length gown of
bridal white organza over taf-
feta. The high rise bodice,
Victorian neckline and full
Bishop sleeves were overlaid
with imported Cluny lace. The
full skirt was enriched with a
wide ruffle of organza and
lace that flowed softly into a
chapel train. To complement
her attire the bride chose for
her headpiece a lovely picture
hat of lace organza with a
satin ribbon flowing down the
back. She carried a bouquet of
yellow roses, carnations, dai-
sies and baby's breath en-
twined with satin ribbons and
greenery. As the bride entered
the church she presented her
mother with a yellow rose and

ing, presented her new
mother-in-law with a yellow
rose.

sey knit. The bell-shaped
sleeves were adorned with
white lace crossing in the front
and tying into a bow at the
back. She carried a single
mum 'tipped in mint green
with ribbon streamers. In her
hair she wore a halo of daisies
and baby's breath.

and sequins at the waistline,
highlighted with a carnation
corsage.

cented with a multi-colored
pastel jacket. A carnation
corsage complemented her
attire.

the guests as they entered the

ing the wedding in the social

A Florida environmental
consultant from Pensacola
has supported previous claims
from an oyster specialist that
a low level dam on the
Apalachicola River will have
no effect on the oysters in
Apalachicola Bay.
Dr. Joe Edmisten, former
director of Environmental
Studies at the University of
West Florida in Pensacola,
believes that Dr. Gordon Gun-
ter was "too gentle" in his
evaluation of anti-dam papers
concerning the Apalachicola
Bay.
"The model of the economy
of Franklin County assumes
that the water flow of the
Apalachicola River will be
reduced by fifty percent and
that this, coupled with high
coliform bacteria counts, will
shut down the commercial
oyster industry of Apalachi-
cola Bay. These assumptions
are dubious. The proposed
dam would allow the flow of
water to remain unchanged.
Extremely high coliform bac-
teria levels could never be


Dr. Edmisten agrees with
Dr. Gunter that any reduction
in the sediment load and


lowering of turbidity below the
proposed dam on Sutton's
Lake below Blountstown
would be probably negated by
the extensive inputs from the
forest and effects of bottom
scouring in the 100 miles of
river between the dam and
bay.
"Most of the detrital mater-
ial for production of oysters


comes from the swampy ar.3s
alongside the river and most
of these swamps occur below
where the proposed dam
would be located. At best the
dam would be good for the
production of oysters because
it would add that much more
detrital material to the water
headed for the Bay," said Dr.
Edmisten.

expected to extend throughout
the Bay, because, to quote Dr.
Gunter, 'Some of these areas
are quite far from the river
and they should always contin-
ue production,' said Dr. Ed-
misten. -
Dr. Edmisten, who heads
the Environment and Ecology
Committee of the Florida
Ports and Water Resources
Association and who has acted
as advisor to a Congressional
committee for environmental
quality, went on to say, "The
implication that the proposed
dam 100 miles upstream could
change the nature of the water
flowing into the bay is a little
far fetched. If anything, the
slowing of the river water
above the dam could convert
some of the inorganic nutri-
ents present into organic de-
tritus. If this detrital material
could survive the 100 mile teip
to the Bay, it would encourage
the growth of oysters. It is
incorrect to assume that the
dam will result in any reduc-
tion in fresh water flow to the
bay."
