Thursday, February 4, 1982 Rocky Coastline Is Discovered QUESTION: Does North Carolina anywhere have a rocky coastline? If you answered no, you are wrong. A rock exposure along the beach can be found south of Carolina Beach, New Hanover County, at Fort Fisher. According to James Stevens, Jr., Director, North Carolina Parks and Recreation, it is the only known natural marine rock outcrop along the entire North Carolina beach •system. It is not spectacular nor , vast, but it is unusual and, different enough to make me feel good about efforts to include it on the N. C. Registry of Natural Heritage Areas. At high tide only a few flat lumps of rock, maybe 18 inches maximum height, are exposed along the shore. Even so, the rocks were not put there by man, sym metry is not the word, erosion patterns are artsy, surf suds swirl and slurp instead of the usual silent syrupy death, birds peck and hop differently and your feet know they are on history instead of the ever moving sand. At low tide, the curtain is drawn, and the drama really begihs.- Sally Nunnally, education coordinator at nearby Fort Fisher, N.C. Marine Resources Center, said the coquina rock can be found some 2,000 feet along the shore, and some 50-75 feet BOOKKEEPING AND TAX SERVICE Jackie Habit Whitehurst 806 North Broad Street Appointments Available Call: 482-8215 REAL JONES ill ESTATE §MS 31S S.

SaUy has a list of 86 plants and animals common to the outcrops. She said people ask if springs are under the beach because water bubbles out of the sand at low tide. She said the rock under the sand is honeycombed and traps high tide water, which drains on the lows. The rock area extends offshore, although spotty, I was told, for some two miles. Twenty-seven acres of the coquina rock outcrop, a long skinny swatch along the beach, will soon be included on the N. C. Registry of Natural Heritage Areas. This will give the rocks and associated living com munities added recognition and protection. Interestingly, so I was told, the rock was quarried during the 1930’s or 1940’s for road fill, probably for nearby Highway 421. Spencer Rogers, coastal engineer, N. C. Sea Grant Program, working from Fort Fisher Resources Center, said the outcrop is probably the reason Kure Beach, close by to the north, is not eroding like Carolina Beach farther north.

The men are members of departments in lower Currituck County, Camden County, and in Chowan County at Center Hill Crossroads. Firefighters from six counties met recently on Saturday and Sunday at College of The Albemarle to participate in the first Fireman’s Weekend Workshop hosted by the Continuing Education Division. A total of 82 students, representing 18 communities, were on hand for the tactical and strategy training sessions and special classes on emergency handling of hazardous materials. (COA Photo) Letter To The Editor To The Editor: The Chowan County Chapter of the North Carolina Symphony would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Chowan Herald, radio stations WBXB and WCDJ, and to the Albemarle Cable TV, for the publicity they gave for the January 28th concert. Without this help, the program would not have been nearly so suc cessful. Also, we would like to thank all the people who bought tickets, made con tributions, or in any way helped in the drive to raise the necessary funds. Most importantly, we want to thank those who attended the concert, for without these people, all the rest would have been in vain. Once again, thanks for your help.

The increase is based on the change in average earnings levels from 1980 to 1981. Also increased in 1982 is the Social Security tax rate The 1982 tax rate will be 6.70 per cent, an increase of 0.05 per cent over the 1981 rate of 6.65 per cent. The increase will amount to 50 cents a month for a person earning SI,OOO a month. Other Social Security figures are scheduled to increase in 1982 as well. The annual exempt amount used in the annual earnings test will increase. The annual earnings test is the measure used to determine whether a person will receive benefits during a year. A person whose earnings do not exceed the annual exempt amount will receive all benefits due for the year. A person’s benefits are reduced $1 for each $2 of earnings above the exempt amount. In 1982, the annual exempt amount for people ages 65-72 will be $6,000. For people under 65 all of 1982, the exempt amount will be $4,440. There is also some im portant news concerning the age at which the earnings test no longer applies. Under the law in effect before 1981, the age at which the earnings test no longer applies was scheduled to drop from 72 to 70 in 1982. A 1981 law delayed that change - to 1983.
