Appearance group is critical of state welcome center funds Keep North Carolina Clean & Beautiful, Inc. (KNCCB) released a statement this week publicly oppos ing the diversion of state funds raised through the sale of personal ized license plates to staff local pri vate welcome centers, such as Brunswick County’s welcome cen ter located on Highway 17 in Shal lotte. KNCCB president Bob Stcbbins said the danger in diverting these funds to local private interests is that eventually the entire fund could be depleted and the roadside beautifica tion and wildflower programs would be destroyed. However, Dean Walters, president of the Brunswick County welcome center board of directors, said the center averages about 500 visitors per day, and that it is greatly en hancing the county’s tourism indus try - the number-one industry in Brunswick County, he said. "It’s a very attractive center, and a positive thing on the highway,” said Walters. "The total value of it will be what it’s going to return for Brunswick County and North Caro lina."

"This action would be devastating to the roadside beautification and wildflower programs that have meant so much to the tourism and economic development of North Carolina," Stcbbins said. "It epitomizes pork barrel legislation whereby powerful legislators turn iheir backs on programs vital to the state as a whole to serve their own special interests." Walters said the welcome center will receive $50,000 in state funds for the next fiscal year, but he could not say how much of that amount was generated by the sale of per sonalized license plates. There is currently no money coming in to the county for wildflower programs, he said. Pets of the week...

REVIVAL OF AN AMERICAN TRADITION Bald Head Island Proudly Announces The Return of The Tum-of-the-Century Beach Cottage With steep-pitched roots, rocking chair porches, cedar-shingle siding, and wooden shutters, , these cottages embody the charm turn-ot-the-century coastal North Carolina. But to appreciate their real beauty and special character, one has to step back to a time when family beach cottages had a way of growing to accommodate a growing family. The result was a charming enclave of buildings sometimes attached to and sometimes near the principle residence. Passed down from generation to generation, these beach cottages have become family heir looms and a part of the lore and tradition of coastal North Carolina. Today, Bald Head Island is reviving this American tradition with the introduction of The Cottages at Floras Bluff, beach front cottages on the highest and arguably most historic oceanfront bluff in all of Brunswick County. Each with its own special character. Each with a splendid view of, and boardwalk access to, Bald Head Island's South Beach. Each with the long roof overhangs and wide porches reminiscent of a time before the invention of air conditioning. THE Cottages J&raSlf/u/Fi And each of four cottage designs - with a variety of floor plans to choose from - are surprisingly priced from $160,000. It you sense an undercurrent or pride and excitement, there's no mistaking it. In truth, we expect demand for The Cottages at Flora's Bluff to far exceed the limited availability. If you think you may have an interest in previewing the site, the cottages or receiving more information - you are invited to call us toll free at your earliest opportunity. Our passenger ferry terminal is in Southport at Indigo Plantation. BALD HEAD ISLAND NORTH CAROLINA For Real Estate Information Call 1-800-234-1666 yrm1
