1 THIRTY-NINTH YEAR, NUMBER 50 p * 41 Industry Deep Water Port Fine People Safest Beaches in Florida PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1976 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 persons were trespassing on the club's property. Seven electric golf carts -were damaged, some, severe- 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 deteriorated to the point 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, 22, Alice Jean Martin, 33, and 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' Members of the City's three civic clubs serve themselves up to hear Senate President Dempsey Barron speak. The at a buffet dinner last Thursday, in a combined meeting set dinner was held at the St. Joseph Bay Country Club. 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. Representative William J. Rish, left, presses the flesh with Senator Dempsey Barron at last Thursday's meeting, New Students Entering High School Should Sign Up Early Any new student in the com- munity that will be entering Port St. Joe High Jr.-Sr. High School this school year should come out during Pre-schooling August 17-27 and register.

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."

"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 is bad for youngster's teeth, says a spokesman for the Florida Society of Ortho- dontics. When a child watches TV, he says, he often leans a cheek on one hand, pushing on his teeth. Same thing can happen when reading or using a hand as a pillow while sleeping, the spokesman said. Changing a child's habits ear- ly could save parents a bill for braces later on, he added.

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 (Continued from Page 1) County to Spend 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 causes the brain to reach almost a standstill and causes it to refuse to come up with grist for this few inches of space. It's getting harder and harder each week during these days of the dog. By the time the 40 is gone, we'll probably have to resort to copying something somebody else has written, which would probably be a welcome relief to our readers.

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. Judy Hendrix Earns Degree Judy E.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1976 The regular meeting of the St. Joseph Historical Society was held in the new fire station, Saturday afternoon. August 7, for the purpose of discussing the projects of the society, old and new, and ways and means of promoting these projects. Mrs. Ralph Swatts, Sr., president, reported that the society and the local museum is to be listed in the Directory of Historical Organizations, which is now being compiled by the Flordia Confederation of Historical Societies. This publication should be of real value to local organizations throughout the state. The main business of this meeting was the presentation and adoption of a resolution drawn up and submitted by Jesse Stone, relative to adding another room to the museum. This room will be used solely for the purpose of depicting the Convention Story. The resolution received unani- mous approval and was adopt- ed as read. The Society. will now move forward in its effort to secure this addition, which will add appreciably to the value of the present building. Attending the meeting, in addition to the president, were: Jesse Stone, Mrs. Charles Browne, Mrs. James McNeill, Mrs. Paul Fensom, Mrs. George Suber and Mrs. William Howell, Jr. After the meeting adjourn- ed, the group went to Pau- line's for coffee and then visit- ed, the Bicentennial display in the park.

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 Larabee, Lamond Daniels, Glenn Kent, Tommy Smith SSSSS. and Rocky Comforter.

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. 1969 33 h.p.

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."
