The Log notes a strong need for a hospital in Destin. A resident says Destin has a good doctor but a hospital would be wonderful, hoping to attract high class physicians and surgeons for success.
U S Senator Paula Hawkins touts the Job Training Partnership Act as a replacement for CETA. The plan shifts 70 percent of funds to actual training and creates business community councils with officials to oversee programs. It funds elderly employment training and sets performance standards to raise earnings and cut welfare.
The proposal states that child support payments are not to be counted as income for eligibility. It funds training for mothers on welfare who have been neglected yet need skilled job training. The measure focuses on equipping the unemployed with skills for permanent meaningful employment.
A Miami firm makes fish leather from snapper skins, claiming the tanned material rivals calfskin in toughness and availability. If successful, it could spawn a new luxury niche and upset some traditional leather markets in Destin.
A quirky note suggests fish remnants diverted to leather production with tuna skins yielding supple shoes for a Tuna Trot. Snapper and Grouper skins would craft rugged belts and wallets, and Shark skin would form durable luggage or upholstery leather though sewing methods remain uncertain.
Letters to the Log discuss Destin’s volatile growth and a push to address water problems and crime prevention within a rezoning drive. The columnist warns of a plot to protect developers’ interests, urging genuine care for the Gulf shore’s remaining beauty amid high rise plans and environmental concerns.
