r Jo* I ^nier I Son of a ! g*sJ There are three bridges being replaced on Highway SO in Duplin County, two ofilie bridges being replaced are between Chinquapin and Kenan^vUle, and one u between Chinquapin and Maple Hill- As I see it,, if one applies logic, those folks doing'the planning made a boo-too. Highway SO is known as the beach highway. There are ? many traveling to Topsail Beach and Surf City on Highway SO. Now this bunch of planners decided a by-pass should be built between Chinquapin and Maple Hill, but one should not be built between Chinquapin and (Cenan^ville. . .Mind you now, nearly all of that beach traffic traveling between Chinquapin and Maple Hill also traveled between Chinquapin and Kenan^ville. So,, if there is to be disadvantaged crowd, it will be those local folks. The detour between Kenan^ville and Chinquapin is an 8-mile out-of-the-way trip. Now. if things had been as I believe they should have been, the tfetour area would be beyond Chinquapin and would be one mile out of the way. Fact is, folks in the know use Road 1828 (the road that logically would have been the detour between Chinquapin and Maple Hill) anyway on their trip to the beach. The road is one mile longer; however it has none of the curves of Highway SO. You can make just as good time on this road as you can on #50. So, if practically the same traffic is traveling both portions of Highway SO, the detour is eight miles on one end and one mile on the other, where would the logical place for a bypass be. . .Add one more thing to the equation. . .Folks from the Chinquapin area under the present plan have an eight-mile detour trip to the hospital. If we consider money and money alone, there would nave been no detour. But if we consider the facts, it seems the engineer ? or politician ? of both ? made a decision not based on the democratic way ? or logical way either, as far as that goes. Someone once saidT "You must suffer before you can enjoy anything." If this is the truth, Duplin Countisns surely have a lot of enjoyment coming, for it seems the majority of Duplin Countians are always getting the short end of the stick. ????? There is a special public hearing set for August 23, which is a Tuesday, at 8 p.m. This hearing is concerning the special option half-a-cent sales tax ? whether Duplin wants to tack it onto the already four-cent sales tax or not. This meeting will affect your pocket book. This meeting will affect your county. . .The county commissioners have indicated all the money coming into the county treasury would be for capital improvements for the schools and James Sprunt., .All the money from the half-cent increase in sales taxes, that is. . .The meeting is to be, in the courtroom. I suggest you attend and express your opinion. . .There is no good tax. but, in my opinion, sales tax is one of the more bearable. Under the special ruling on this tax, Duplin County gets a better share of the collections than it does now on the other one-cent sales tax being returned. As Duplin County has no major shopping centers, much of the Duplin County income is spent in other areas, and under the old taxing methods, the sales tax stays where it is collected.. .Under the proposed half-cent option, the tax will be distributed by population, thus Duplin will get back some of the money spent in other areas. Some of the larger counties, such as Wake (Raleigh) and Mecklinburg (Charlotte) are said to be against this way of taxing and will probably not join in. . .If this is true, I believe those counties that do opt for the half-cient should boycott those counties that do not. . .After all, we are not getting a fair shake on the present sales tax collection, so if they don't get the better part of this half-cent, seems like a fair thing to me. . .So. spend your money where it will benefit your schools, and that is definitely not those counties that do not join in.. .That is, of course, if Duplin does. . . ???a* In golf there is a saying. "Keep your eye on the ball.". . .There is another saying meaning duck or watch out. . "Fore.". . .Now, if you happen not to be in the clear fairway, over near the edge where some roots happen to lie. and you take a good swing, hit the ball, the ball hits a root and like a boomerang comes back at you bopping you in the nose. . .there is another saying.' . '."Ouch" or "Son-of-a-gun" or something like that. . .For an exact quotation i am told you might ask Mark Vincent... . .Son-of-a-Gun.... %%The Confident Cook^ ' Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions BROWN BAG IT - LOW SODIUM STYLE rVino.*!**,-? ,ro ^ v/viloumvio lu v V vuvvi?avu about nutrition.
